![]() She continued working at Haggar’s and spoiled her grandchildren with nice clothes (not toys) and often slipped a twenty in their hands when their parents weren’t looking. She was a survivor! She lost her mother to cancer in 1994 and welcomed her second grandchild Amanda Kathryn Reyes. Margarita had every reason to live and every reason to fight to live. She would also begin her battle with Cancer. In 1988, Nancy married Adrian Reyes of San Antonio and in 1992, Margarita’s first grandchild was born, Ryan Joseph Reyes. It was one of Margarita’s fondest memories that her parents were able to travel to San Antonio for the occasion and sneak a trip up to the Tower of the Americas, Hemisphere tower. In 1987, her daughter Nancy graduated from nursing school at Incarnate Word College in San Antonio. They planned many celebrations and meals and had fun along the way with the Masso’s, the Abrigos, the Rocha’s and the Vos’s. Pius the X, soon became involved in the Parish Activities Commission where they not only served the community of St. Margarita and Agustin, faithful parishioners of St. Her quality work and attention to detail earned her recognition and she was chosen to sew a suit for Frank Sinatra. She worked ten hour days, four days a week. When Haggar’s Manufacturing opened in Weslaco, she went to work for them. Once her daughters were of school age, Margarita found work at a local manufacturing warehouse Dickies, as a seamstress. It was important to her that we always be clean and well groomed. A favorite quote of hers that still resonates in our ears is “una cose es ser pobre otra cosa es ser dejado” (it’s one thing to be poor and another to be lazy). Margarita made all of their clothes and made sure that her daughters always looked nice. Despite the struggles, they always managed and provided for their two daughters. Her quality work certainly earned her a reputation and soon she would have more work than she could keep up with. Margarita would earn extra money sewing clothes or doing alterations for people. Sometimes people would pay him with money, but most times, they would pay him with goods or whatever they had to barter. Agustin ran a plumbing business with his father. Shortly after Sandra’s birth, they bought an acre of land just outside the Weslaco city limits and eventually built the home they would live in for 40 years. A second daughter, Sandra was born on October 19, 1965. Agustin joined the Army and two years later on December 31, 1963, Margarita delivered a healthy baby girl-Nancy. With the help of so many, a small wedding was planned and on Octoat 6:30 in the morning, Father Castellanos married them at St. ![]() There, they would be given her parent’s blessing to marry. ![]() They traveled to El Realito on dirt roads that took (what would now be an hour’s drive) four hours to get to. She found work at a local drug store, Modelo, where she would meet the love of her life, Agustin. She moved to Weslaco where she had family and lived with Simon and Benita Hernandez. Life was hard in El Realito and Margarita knew that she could make money and send it home to help her parents and her siblings. At the age of 16, she was asked to choose her citizenship between Mexico and the United States. At the age of seven, Margarita and her parents moved back to their homeland of Mexico, and she attended school in the farming village of El Realito, Tamulipas. They stayed there for several years and her parents would give birth to two more children, Ezequiel+ and Lydia. Her parents had traveled there from Mexico where her father had found work on the railroad just south of the Houston area. Margarita Loera was born to Bartolo Loera and Carlota Loera de Salinas on October 20th 1935 in Hungerford, Texas. ![]() The first is when each person is their own team. There are two common ways to split people up when playing charades. While it's possible to play charades with as few as two people, there needs to be a minimum of three if you want a truly competitive game of charades. There really isn't a maximum number of people that can play charades at one time. How many people can play charades at one time? This dichotomy of it appearing simple but actually being quite difficult will bring about a lot of entertainment, fun, and laughter to the game. What makes the game of charades so much fun is that even though the rules and concept of the game are simple when it comes to attempting to convey the word through gestures to your teammates can often be far more difficult than you imagined. If the teammates are able to decipher the word through the gestures and acting, the team wins a point. One person gets a word or phrase and then has to try to act and use gestures without making any sounds to indicate what that word or phrase is to their teammates. How Do You Play Charades?Ĭharades is a gesture and acting game. Once you have chosen the difficulty level and the number of words to show each time, all you have to do is click on the generate button and you have a random charades word to begin playing. Again, this can depend on who you are playing the game with and how difficult you want to make the game. The last step is choosing the number of charade words you want to be generated each time. This can make the game a lot more fun and a challenge compared to just random words with no difficulty level assigned to them. By being able to choose the difficulty of the words allows you to adjust the game words to the people you are playing with. ![]() The first step is to choose the difficulty of the charade words you want to use. ![]() There are two simple steps to get you going. The random charade words generator completely takes this issue away and makes playing charades with family or friends super easy whenever the desire to play happens. One of the biggest problems when playing the game of charades is coming up with quality charades words to use in the game. If that happens to be the case, we think you'll find our random charades generator of great help. You likely ended up at this webpage because you're looking to play a game of charades. ![]()
So a lot of times people will say, "hh, well, this is just bad grammar." You know, you can't you can't say "ain't" it's just bad grammar. No one will be surprised that when he called the same apartments sounding Black or sounding like a Chicano English speaker, he didn't get as many appointments to see them as when he sounded like he was speaking mainstream, even though he was the same person in the same body. And then he also called in this kind of where he calls like a Chicano English, Latino accented variety. And he called in African-American English. And he called in his, you know, Stanford professor, like, mainstream voice. So one really famous study that was done by the linguist John Baugh has a illustrative example of this, where he was in Palo Alto because he was at Stanford at the time, he called around to get viewings to see a potential apartment. Linguistic profiling is kind of like this, but imagine that you just have the language to go on. So a lot of people will be familiar with racial profiling, which is like frequently, you see the kind of case where like a Black young man is pulled over because he, quote unquote, fit the description of some, you know, person who committed a crime. And so it's not the case that if you spend a bunch of time on, you know, Alabama sorority Tik Tok, that you will suddenly start sounding like an Alabama sorority girl. But the thing that's really interesting about language acquisition is that we talk like the people that we actually talk to. But we are hearing more people that are different than us. We live in media bubbles that's been well documented, and most people don't live very far away from where they were born, still. So I think it's very tempting to be like, well, we're all just like consuming the same media now and we're all talking to each other and we're all traveling. And so this is the kind of language contact situation that can cause change, but it doesn't necessarily cause disappearing accents. Also, people move away from the place that they're born more frequently for, you know, economic opportunities, jobs, things like that. ![]() So if you look at the difference in number of people that have been on a plane in their lifetime, it's definitely more in 2022 than it was in 1992 or 1972, which means people are able to move around more. It is the case that people are exposed probably to more varieties than they used to be because we're just increasingly mobile. I wanted to compare my answers with someone from a different state to see if we really are starting to talk the same. A dialect, on the other hand, refers to the grammar and specific words we use. An accent refers to the way a word sounds across a country. We often use those words interchangeably, but if you ask a dialect coach, they mean different things. Now, the New York Times quiz uses your answers to pinpoint both your dialect and your accent. Then using that data, it predicts where in the United States you're from. It's 25 questions long, and it asks what word or words you use to describe different places, things or scenarios. Our journey starts with one of my favorite little gadgets on the Internet. And if so, what else is getting lost along the way? But before we talk about where accents are going, let's talk about where they've been. As social media connects us all is a little part of what makes the different parts of America unique, dying along with it. So today we'll figure out what's happening to regional accents in the United States. Because just like me, some of you listeners don't admit to having an accent.Įntirely neutral, huh? We'll see about that. And what I found on my journey is far more complicated than I thought it would be. 80% of Texans they interviewed had that accent. Researchers at UT-Austin have been tracking the decline of the traditional Texas accent in the 1980s. ![]() One piece of data suggests that we are losing our regional differences. This got me thinking are regional accents such as mine disappearing? There's surprisingly little information on this. There's even a phrase for this quote unquote, "general American." It's a bland accent that doesn't seem to be tied to any place in particular. These commercials can make you think that all Americans sound alike. We don't sound like the people you hear on most national commercials, on TV or in the movies. ![]() Indeed, my father and I share the New York accent. And although he has gone to the other side of the rainbow, I'd like to think that part of him lives on through me. pale blue flower stalks, green strap-like leavesĬompact dwarf, 6-9in., blue flower spikesģ-4ft.x2-3ft., blue violet flowers in spring and summer, large 8in. white flower stalks, green strap-like leavesġ.5ft. low water, water maintenance, attract butterfliesĦ0-80ft.x15-20ft., deciduous, fast, pink new foliageģ-6ft.x4-7ft., from Western Australia, red flowerĤ-6ftx same w/silver foliage w/red flowers in springĦ-10ft.x4-6ft., wispy stems, grey deele like foliage, pink new growthġ.5ft.

Discover our selection of the best Vivaldi works featuring 10 masterpieces including The Four Seasons. He taught the violin there, organised services with music, gave concerts, and composed most of his major works in this position over three decades. In the same year as his ordination he was appointed violin master at the Ospedale della Pietà, a Venetian convent for orphaned or illegitimate girls. He trained for the priesthood and was ordained in 1703. Vivaldi’s concertos became a model for his contemporaries, and the form was soon one of the most important in eighteenth century Europe. He introduced a range of new styles and techniques to string playing and consolidated one of its most important genres, the concerto. But his most important achievement was in his music for strings. He ignited transformations in music for the church, the opera house and the concert hall. It is performed by New Trinity Baroque orchestra (on instruments similar to those used in Vivaldi's time), and directed from the harpsichord by Predrag Gosta.Antonio Vivaldi’s (4 March 1678 – 28 July 1741) influence on the development of Baroque music was immense. Here's also one video, an excerpt from Antonio Vivaldi's famous Concerto for 2 Cellos, Strings & Continuo in G minor. Can you hear it getting faster-someone hastening and hurrying? Near the end we hear the north wind and its chill. This is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights.Ĭhildren: The music starts out carefully, cautiously, and not very fast, like treading on ice. We feel the chill north winds course through the home despite the locked and bolted doors. Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground and, rising, hasten on across the ice lest it cracks up. We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling. I don't have information about the other musicians. In the audio files below for the Four Seasons, John Harrison plays the lead violin. Compare your thoughts and feelings with those around you. You can also draw on paper what the music makes you "see" in your mind. Does the music resemble or portray the things in the sonnets? Does the music match the seasons? ![]() Read the poem that goes with each part of The Four Seasons, and then listen to the part. These Italian words indicate the TEMPO of the piece-how fast or slow it should be played. The parts are titled with Italian words such as Allegro (joyfully) or Largo (slowly). Some people think that Vivaldi wrote the sonnets himself.įor each season, there are three parts. The most well-known piece of music he wrote was a set of violin concertos titled "The Four Seasons." The concertos are accompanied by sonnetes (poems) that depict the seasons. While Vivaldi's music was quite popular in his lifetime, towards his final years his music fell out of popularity, and he died as a pauper. He then went to teach in an orphanage for girls, and composed lots of music for them for example Vivaldi wrote over 400 concertos for his students. Vivaldi Music Academy offers private instruction in piano, violin, guitar, cello, voice, flute and more, group voice lessons, ensemble lessons in jazz. However, his asthma kept him from saying the mass. As an adult, Vivaldi became a Catholic priest. ![]() He taught his son probably at a very young age to play violin. His dad, Giovanni, was a barber before becoming a professional violinist. Vivaldi had very bright red hair and was nicknamed "the Red Priest." Antonio Vivaldi (1678 to 1741) was born and lived in Italy, and was a BAROQUE style composer and violinist. ![]() In T-SQL, if the separator is a NULL value, the the string values are still concatenated, but without a separator. This is one of the differences between MySQL and T-SQL (SQL Server, Azure). If you now insert a null value, the command reads like this: bash. In this case you’ll notice that the output is a simple MySQLCONCAT. ![]() First, we’ll simply join two strings together. For example, if a parameter is numeric, it will be converted into a string as part of the concatenation. To understand how MySQL CONCAT works, it’s worth looking at a few simple examples. The parameters don't necessarily need to be strings themselves. CONCAT () returns the string that results from concatenating its parameters. If the separator itself is a NULL value, the concatenation operation will return NULL.Įxample: SELECT CONCAT_WS(NULL,'Auckland', NULL, 'New Zealand') AS Location The CONCAT () function allows you to concatenate two or more parameters. ![]() Use this: CONCAT (name, ' ', surname) This functionality is documented quite clearly on the MySQL manual page for the CONCAT () function. If any of the arguments is a NULL value, MySQL will skip that value and its separator, but it will still process the others.Įxample: SELECT CONCAT_WS(', ','Auckland', NULL, 'New Zealand') AS Location You can concatenate string literals along with your fields, so you can add a space character in a string between the fields you're concatenating. Here’s an example of retrieving data from a database, and combining two columns into one, separated by a comma: SELECT CONCAT_WS(', ', city.Name, country.Name ) AS Location SELECT CONCAT_WS(' - ','Paris', 'France') AS Location Here’s the same example as the previous one, except this one uses a different separator. There’s nothing to say that the separator must be a comma. Here’s an example: SELECT CONCAT_WS(',','Sydney', 'Australia') AS Location Īnd you can add a space in there if you want: SELECT CONCAT_WS(', ','Sydney', 'Australia') AS Location If you just use the CONCAT() function, you’d have no separator (unless you explicitly added a separator as an argument between each string argument).Ī common usage of the CONCAT_WS() function is to create a comma-delimited list. In MySQL, the CONCAT_WS() function allows you to add a separator to concatenated strings. ![]() Kids can play with the aim of the bubble shooter and vary the pressure of their breath to see how the results change in their real life bubble game.

Rza (Robert Diggs) founded the group in the early ’90s after deciding he wanted a life in music and not on the streets. Quick recap of how the Wu-Tang Clan came to be: The group, which hails from Staten Island, includes original members RZA, GZA, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, U-God, and Masta Killa. 29:27 - What it was like working on Iron Fist.On screen and off, the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA is opening up about how his career has unfolded and how he’s evolved as a man.28:20 - Why The RZA wanted Shameik Moore for the lead role in Cut Throat City.26:17 - Which actor challenged The RZA most on set?.21:43 - Making the move to Love Beats Rhymes next how he was inspired by the movie Flash of Genius.19:58 - Learning about the importance of fleshing out characters from Eli Roth.18:38 - Why The RZA felt encouraged jumping into such an ambitious first feature.15:52 - The RZA looks back on making The Man with the Iron Fists and knowing when to trust his vision or advice from others.15:14 - What happened to his video store?.12:41 - The RZA also highlights John Woo as a key mentor how he continues to learn about film today.09:30 - How exactly does someone score the chance to observe Quentin Tarantino on set? (The RZA actually owned a video store!).06:33 - The RZA reveals he actually lost his second gig scoring a film and discusses what learns from the experience.04:05 - Creatively he was ready to score Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai the technical requirements were a different story.01:07 - The RZA looks back on the early moments that signaled to him that he had a deep appreciation for film how Jim Jarmusch and Quentin Tarantino nudged him down the path of becoming a filmmaker himself.And I think, ironically, that the economics that I would have put into college, I ended up putting into these trips with Quentin, you know what I mean? And that became my school.” So I didn’t get a chance to go to college and study. I dropped out of high school and pursued the street life and had to get a GED and all these things. But, I look at it like this I look at it like some of us get the economics to go to college, and that’s where you go and you learn. I did have a small privilege of having economic freedom to fly to China and set myself up and bring a few buddies, so that’s a blessing. ![]() And we watched movies together, we built a friendship and when he was doing Kill Bill, he said I’m welcome to come out. And the goal was to exchange this knowledge with each other. And I was a director who didn’t know the craft. He’s actually a music producer who doesn't know how to use the equipment. ![]() We all know that you can tell in his films. And I humbly asked him, would he mentor me? And he’s also a music lover. “I just saw in him an artist expressing something that I wanted to express and felt I could express but didn’t know how. The RZA learned from a number of very well-known names including Jim Jarmusch, Ridley Scott, and also essentially getting a film school-like experience observing Quentin Tarantino on the set of Kill Bill: Volume 1. Not only did The RZA share loads about his experience making all three films, but he also went back to the very beginning, detailing how he knew he had a next-level appreciation for cinema and also revisiting the opportunities that contributed to shaping his approach to making his own films. Desperate for an opportunity to make some money, they agree to work for a local gangster and attempt to pull off a casino heist. The movie stars Shameik Moore, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Keean Johnson and Denzel Whitaker as a group of friends living in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward, struggling to put their lives back together after the area is decimated by Hurricane Katrina. After that, he switched gears a bit and took on the music drama, Love Beats Rhymes, and now we’re getting his third directorial effort, Cut Throat City, a gritty heist movie that shows undeniable growth and more confidence behind the lens than ever. The RZA went big with his feature directorial debut, The Man with the Iron Fists, an ambitious martial arts film featuring a stellar ensemble and a slew of complicated set pieces. |
