La casa de Anahuác

14 de noviembre de 2017

Por Sebastián Celote

Tras 52 años de inauguración, el museo Anahuacalli de Diego Rivera sigue conservando la idea original que este quería otorgarle para mostrar a la gente mexicana y turistas la historia prehispánica.

Anahuacalli con exposición  Bosco Sodi. Foto por Sebastián Celote

El nombre de Anahuacalli proviene de “Casa Anáhuac o Casa del valle de México” y significa “La casa cerca del agua”, es un museo que se construye por iniciativa de Diego Rivera quien buscaba el reconocimiento de los antepasados a partir de algunas piezas prehispánicas que colecciono a lo largo de su vida. Es un lugar excepcional por su arquitectura, diseño y construcción en piedra volcánica que hace referencia a un teocalli (casa de energía).

Reserva Ecológica, Temazcal, foto por: Sebastián Celote

Cuenta con tres pisos y 23 salas y un precio de $85 general, adquiere más de 50 mil piezas prehispánicas dentro de una estructura parecida a la de una pirámide donde se encuentran vestigios, murales que Diego Rivera pintó y una exposición temporal que cambia su temática  cada tres meses, el elemento de la piedra volcánica y la estructura del museo llevan al espectador a sentirse dentro de un espacio temporal distinto concibiéndose como parte de la cultura.

El museo tiene sus puertas abiertas de miércoles a domingo, en un horario de 11 a 17:30 horas.

thinking about Obsidian speaking simultaneously but with slightly different voices, using both of their mouths, possibly after some future development where Obsidian is able to speak clearly while fused; presumably, their combined mind is able to be focused on a single goal, but the contrasting aspects of their personalities make filtering thought and ideas into actual spoken things tricky.

easier to scream, or snarl or roar.

broadly speaking, the two mouths represent different aspects of the culmuative joint-consciousness of Steven, Pearl, Amethyst, Ruby and Sapphire. The upper mouth usually speaks more slowly and thoughtfully, while the lower one often doesn’t speak words at all, but growls, roars or makes monstery noises, actual words rising out of it like foam drifting on top of water.

It’s not a negative sign. The upper mouth represents active conscious thought, words that get assembled like bricks being put on top of each other. The lower mouth represents impulse, animal consciousness and the more fundamentally feral or hotheaded elements most Gems would prefer to imagine they don’t have at all. Steven’s human nature makes this a bit more volatile.

(as a side note, Obsidian’s fusion bears some design elements of Steven’s corrupted form; while the scars of his temporary personality-death no longer show up on his body as they would for a normal Gem, those scars are still there and manifest in this fusion.

He’s not too broken up about it, eventually. Sometimes healing is about looking at the monster that only shows up in mirrors and accepting: ‘this is me.’)

THE PROPHECY OF OSEE - From The Douay-Rheims Bible - Latin Vulgate

Chapter 8

INTRODUCTION.

Osee, or Hosea, whose name signifies a saviour, was the first in the order of time among those who are commonly called lesser prophets, because their prophecies are short. He prophesied in the kingdom of Israel, (that is, of the ten tribes) about the same time that Isaias prophesied in the kingdom of Juda. Ch. --- The chronological order is not observed in any edition. The Sept. very from the rest. They place the less before the greater prophets, and read some of the names rather differently, as Prot. do also, though they have nothing but novelty to recommend the change. We shall here specify the Prot. names, (H.) in the order in which these prophets appeared: (C.) 1. Hosea, 2. Amos, 3. Jonah, 4. Micah, 5. Nahum, 6. Joel, 7. Zephaniah, 8. Habakkuk, 9. Obadiah, 10. Haggai, 11. Zechariah, 12. Malachi. H. --- It is not known who collected them into one volume. but the book of Ecclesiasticus (xlix. 12.) speaks of the twelve; and 4 Esd. i. 39. specifies them as they are found in the Sept. Osee, Amos, Micheas, Joel, Abdias, Jonas, Nahum, &c. as in the Vulg. C. --- Many other prophets appeared before these, (W.) but Osee is the first of the sixteen whose works are extant. He must have continued his ministry about eighty-five years, and lived above one hundred and ten, if the first verse speaks of him alone. But some take it to regard the whole collection, and may be added by another hand. C. --- The style of Osee is sententious and very hard to be understood, (S. Jer.) as but little is known of the last kings of Israel, in whose dominions he lived, and to whom he chiefly refers, though he speaks sometimes of Juda, &c. C. --- By taking a wife, and other parables, he shews their criminal conduct and chastisment, and foretells their future deliverance and the benefits to be conferred by Christ. We must observe that the prophets often style the kingdom of the two tribes, Juda, Benjamin, Jerusalem, or the house of David; and that of the ten tribes, Ephraim, Joseph, Samaria, Jezrahel, Bethel, or Bethaven; and often Israel or Jacob till after the captivity of these tribes, when the latter titles refer to Juda, who imitated the virtues of Jacob better than the other kingdom. W. --- Then all distinction of this nature was at an end. H.

The additional Notes in this Edition of the New Testament will be marked with the letter A. Such as are taken from various Interpreters and Commentators, will be marked as in the Old Testament. B. Bristow, C. Calmet, Ch. Challoner, D. Du Hamel, E. Estius, J. Jansenius, M. Menochius, Po. Polus, P. Pastorini, T. Tirinus, V. Bible de Vence, W. Worthington, Wi. Witham. — The names of other authors, who may be occasionally consulted, will be given at full length.

Verses are in English and Latin.

HAYDOCK CATHOLIC BIBLE COMMENTARY

This Catholic commentary on the Old Testament, following the Douay-Rheims Bible text, was originally compiled by Catholic priest and biblical scholar Rev. George Leo Haydock (1774-1849). This transcription is based on Haydock's notes as they appear in the 1859 edition of Haydock's Catholic Family Bible and Commentary printed by Edward Dunigan and Brother, New York, New York.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES

Changes made to the original text for this transcription include the following:

Greek letters. The original text sometimes includes Greek expressions spelled out in Greek letters. In this transcription, those expressions have been transliterated from Greek letters to English letters, put in italics, and underlined. The following substitution scheme has been used: A for Alpha; B for Beta; G for Gamma; D for Delta; E for Epsilon; Z for Zeta; E for Eta; Th for Theta; I for Iota; K for Kappa; L for Lamda; M for Mu; N for Nu; X for Xi; O for Omicron; P for Pi; R for Rho; S for Sigma; T for Tau; U for Upsilon; Ph for Phi; Ch for Chi; Ps for Psi; O for Omega. For example, where the name, Jesus, is spelled out in the original text in Greek letters, Iota-eta-sigma-omicron-upsilon-sigma, it is transliterated in this transcription as, Iesous. Greek diacritical marks have not been represented in this transcription.

Footnotes. The original text indicates footnotes with special characters, including the astrisk (*) and printers' marks, such as the dagger mark, the double dagger mark, the section mark, the parallels mark, and the paragraph mark. In this transcription all these special characters have been replaced by numbers in square brackets, such as [1], [2], [3], etc.

Accent marks. The original text contains some English letters represented with accent marks. In this transcription, those letters have been rendered in this transcription without their accent marks.

Other special characters.

Solid horizontal lines of various lengths that appear in the original text have been represented as a series of consecutive hyphens of approximately the same length, such as ---.

Ligatures, single characters containing two letters united, in the original text in some Latin expressions have been represented in this transcription as separate letters. The ligature formed by uniting A and E is represented as Ae, that of a and e as ae, that of O and E as Oe, and that of o and e as oe.

Monetary sums in the original text represented with a preceding British pound sterling symbol (a stylized L, transected by a short horizontal line) are represented in this transcription with a following pound symbol, l.

The half symbol (1/2) and three-quarters symbol (3/4) in the original text have been represented in this transcription with their decimal equivalent, (.5) and (.75) respectively.

Unreadable text. Places where the transcriber's copy of the original text is unreadable have been indicated in this transcription by an empty set of square brackets, [].

Chapter 8

The Israelites are threatened with destruction for their impiety and idolatry.

[1] Let there be a trumpet in thy throat like an eagle upon the house of the Lord: because they have transgressed my covenant, and have violated my law.

In gutture tuo sit tuba quasi aquila super domum Domini, pro eo quod transgressi sunt foedus meum, et legem meam praevaricati sunt.

[2] They shall call upon me: O my God, we, Israel, know thee.

Me invocabunt : Deus meus, cognovimus te Israel.

[3] Israel hath cast off the thing that is good, the enemy shall pursue him.

Projecit Israel bonum : inimicus persequetur eum.

[4] They have reigned, but not by me: they have been princes, and I knew not: of their silver, and their gold they have made idols to themselves, that they might perish.

Ipsi regnaverunt, et non ex me; principes exstiterunt, et non cognovi : argentum suum et aurum suum fecerunt sibi idola, ut interirent.

[5] Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off, my wrath is kindled against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?

Projectus est vitulus tuus, Samaria; iratus est furor meus in eos. Usquequo non poterunt emundari?

[6] For itself also is the invention of Israel: a workman made it, and it is no god: for the calf of Samaria shall be turned to spiders' webs.

Quia ex Israel et ipse est : artifex fecit illum, et non est Deus; quoniam in aranearum telas erit vitulus Samariae.

[7] For they shall sow wind, and reap a whirlwind, there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall eat it.

Quia ventum seminabunt, et turbinem metent : culmus stans non est in eo; germen non faciet farinam : quod etsi fecerit, alieni comedent eam.

[8] Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations like an unclean vessel.

Devoratus est Israel; nunc factus est in nationibus quasi vas immundum.

[9] For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath given gifts to his lovers.

Quia ipsi ascenderunt ad Assur, onager solitarius sibi; Ephraim munera dederunt amatoribus.

[10] But even though they shall have hired the nations, now will I gather them together: and they shall rest a while from the burden of the king, and the princes.

Sed et cum mercede conduxerint nationes, nunc congregabo eos, et quiescent paulisper ab onere regis et principum.

[11] Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin: altars are become to him unto sin.

Quia multiplicavit Ephraim altaria ad peccandum; factae sunt ei arae in delictum.

[12] I shall write to him my manifold laws, which have been accounted as foreign.

Scribam ei multiplices leges meas, quae velut alienae computatae sunt.

[13] They shall offer victims, they shall sacrifice flesh, and shall eat it, and the Lord will not receive them: now will he remember their iniquity, and will visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt.

Hostias offerent, immolabunt carnes et comedent, et Dominus non suscipiet eas : nunc recordabitur iniquitatis eorum, et visitabit peccata eorum : ipsi in Aegyptum convertentur.

[14] And Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and hath built temples: and Juda hath built many fenced cities: and I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the houses thereof.

Et oblitus est Israel factoris sui, et aedificavit delubra; et Judas multiplicavit urbes munitas; et mittam ignem in civitates ejus, et devorabit aedes illius.

Commentary:

Ver. 1. Eagle. It makes a noise like a trumpet. Pliny x. 3. --- Osee denounces judgments on the house of Israel, which, though schismatical, was not entirely abandoned by the Lord. Salmanasar overturned the kingdom, and may be compared to an eagle, as Nabuchodonosor is frequently, Ezechiel xvii. 3. But he is not here meant. C. --- The temple shall be destroyed by him; (S. Jer.) yet not so soon. W. --- Sept. "In their bosom like earth appears, like an eagle," &c. H.

Ver. 2. Know thee. They resemble those to whom our Saviour will reply, Not every one that saith, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. Mat. vii. 22. C.

Ver. 3. Him. Sept. "they have pursued the enemy." But the former sense is better. H. --- The Assyrians prevailed. S. Jer. --- They carried Israel into captivity, before Juda. v. 9. W.

Ver. 4. They. Jeroboam and Jehu were assured by the prophets that they should reign, yet this was not a sanction of their right. God condemned their ambition and wicked conduct. The successors of Zarharias had still less pretensions to the throne. God permits such things. The people had not consulted him in these changes. C. --- Kings were their own choice. 1 K. xviii. Saul rose by their "error." S. Jer. --- Knew, or approved not. v. 2. Mat. xxv. 12. C. --- Perish. This was the effect, though contrary to their intention. H.

Ver. 5. Calf. The idol is broken in pieces, and carried away by the victorious enemy. Thus does the vanity of such gods appear. Their captivity is therefore often foretold. Jer. xliii. 12. --- Cleansed. The physician is disgusted with the obstinacy of the sick. C. --- How long will Israel resist the Holy Ghost? Acts vii. 51. H.

Ver. 6. Israel. This enhances the crime. Can a people so highly favoured adore the work of an artist? --- Webs, such as appear on a fine day in autumn. S. Jerom's master suggested that this was the sense. Interpreters vary. C. --- Sept. and Th. "is delusive." Sym. &c. "instable;" shebabim. H. --- Some erroneously read v instead of i. "The Lord casts off the calves of heretics, ... and wonders that people should prefer heretical filth before the cleanliness of the Church." S. Jer.

Ver. 7. Whirlwind. They shall be punished for their folly, nor shall they reap any advantage from idols. --- In it, or in Israel. The seed which I have sown yields no fruit. If any come up, the mildew destroys it. Yea, though any should come to perfection, which is impossible, it should be given to strangers. My people perform no acts of religion; or at least they render them useless, by adoring idols. C. --- He speaks in general terms, as few continued faithful. Yet even in the worst of times, seven thousand were found. 3 K. xix. 18. H.

Ver. 8. Vessel. The nations around despised them, after they had applied to the Assyrians, who were looked upon as enemies of all independent states. Israel was not yet in captivity: but this event may be spoken of as if already past.

Ver. 9. Wild ass. It is very jealous of liberty, (Job xi. 12.) and of its females, so that it prevents the young males from becoming its rivals. Pliny viii. 30. Solin xxx. --- If this were true, the species would soon perish. H. --- The Israelites disdained subjection to strangers. They even rejected God, their king; for which reason he abandons them to servitude, in a foreign land. They had run furiously after idols, and had given presents to such lovers.

Ver. 10. Princes. Heb. "king of kings." This proud title was afterwards taken by the monarchs of Babylon and Persia. Israel ceased to pay taxes, having nothing left. They shall cease to be a people. C. --- Sept. "I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes." H. --- They had none during the captivity, as they would not consult God before in their appointment. v. 4. He speaks ironically. I will conduct them beyond the Euphrates, where they shall have nothing to pay for some time. C. --- This wretched condition was of long continuance; (Tournemine) though short, if compared with their crimes. H.

Ver. 12. Foreign. Shall I give them laws again to despise? Sept. "I shall write down their number." It will be an easy task, they shall be so diminished. "His laws," &c. (C.) or, "I will describe to him a multitude, and his regulations: The beloved altars have been deemed foreign. S. Jerom's and Grabe's edit. H.

Ver. 13. Egypt, to escape the Assyrian. C. ix. 3. C. --- They have imitated the Egyptian idols. S. Jer. --- Osee had applied to their king for aid. 4 K. xvii. 4.

Ver. 14. Temples, or "palaces." C. --- Cities. The two tribes, witnessing the calamities of their brethren, will not avoid a similar conduct, but trust in their fortifications. W. --- Fire of war destroys both kingdoms. --- Thereof. Sept. of S. Jerom adds, "and among the Assyrians they have eaten unclean things," which may be taken from C. ix. 3. H. - It is not found in the present Heb. or Gr. copies. C.

[eschultz72]

Back in September 2015, one of my dearest friends back in Boston contacted me about doing invitations for her oldest daughter’s bat mitzvah in November of the following year, for Parashat Lech Lecha.

Maya is a budding artist, and the celebration was going to have an art theme. In March 2016 they sent me a draft of Maya’s design concept (shown right; click to enlarge). It’s always helpful to have a client with such a clear vision of what they’d like to achieve!

I advised that gold lettering was going to be hard to produce: there’s no such thing as metallic ink, so it has to be done with foil stamping, which is pricey for custom text and basically impossible for short-run digital printing. Apart from that detail, I took this concept and turned it directly into a 5.5×8.5″ layout using Adobe InDesign. Rather than use solid color blocks, I incorporated a watercolor texture to soften the overall look and tie in with Maya’s hand-drawn feel. With a little back-and-forth to determine the exact color shades, we were good to go.

I picked an English script font called Bilbo which has been one of my favorites this year — it’s one of the few calligraphic typefaces that offers a set of plain capital letters as well as swash caps, so it can actually be used to set portions of text in ALL CAPS without destroying readability. The Hebrew font I chose to coordinate is called Shmulik CLM, a Unicode font available for free from the Culmus Project repository.

From there, it was easy to concoct a matching 4.25×5.5″ insert for Maya’s “art party” for her friends. For this piece, I used a livelier rainbow palette instead of the green/blue/purple, a more casual font called Bruno JB, and a free clipart photo of a paintbrush and palette to add some dimensionality. I then created two different RSVP cards, one just for the actual bat mitzvah service, and another for recipients invited to both the service and the party.

I also designed custom outer (6×9) and response (A2) envelopes using the same mint-green watercolor background and purple type as on the primary invitation. Lastly, I created a simple folded thank-you note — matching, yet versatile enough that if Maya has any left over, she’ll be able to use them indefinitely. See below for the final designs.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

I had all the components printed at VistaPrint, using their glossy postcards for the invitation cards: “oversized” for the primary invitation, “standard” for the party insert, both printed single-sided. For the RSVP cards, I used an uncoated 5.5″ x 4″ flat note card so that they could be written on.

One of the cool bells and whistles that Vistaprint offers on envelope printing is the ability to specify a “personalized security tint” using a custom line of text. Without telling my clients, I ordered the reply envelopes to say “Mazal Tov Maya!” on the inside. They didn’t notice right away, but when they were putting the mailing together, it was a fun surprise!

Anyway, so the big day finally came yesterday, and I am told it went beautifully all around. Mazal tov, Maya! and and may your artistic talents continue to enrich your Jewish adulthood.

Adéntrate a San Ildefonso

Claudia Ruiz

7/nov/2017

Claudia Ruiz, fotografía del interior del sitio.

El Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso fue fundado durante el virreinato, con el propósito de que los jesuitas brindaran educación en la Nueva España. Sin embargo, fueron expulsados dos siglos después. Posteriormente este espacio albergó a la Escuela Nacional Preparatoria, lo que significó continuar con la formación de intelectuales en sus aulas. Actualmente esta edificación es ocupada como museo, el cual alberga exposiciones temporales.

Dicho recinto posee una arquitectura barroca, que cuenta con tres niveles y tres patios, aunque los dos que se encuentran al inicio del recinto son más pequeños que el del interior. Las escaleras están adornadas con murales y vitrales, como el del escudo de la de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).

Escudo UNAM, por observatorio

En toda esta edificación se encuentran diferentes salas, una de ellas es denominada “El Generalito”. Este espacio fue utilizado como un recinto para que los jesuitas pudieran brindar conocimientos. El salón cuenta con asientos de madera con una cabecera y figuras talladas de este mismo material.

“El Generalito”, por sitio web de San Ildefonso. 

Actualmente en este espacio se encuentra la obra de Gabriela Gutierrez llamada “Desplazamiento del límite; una especulación sobre las políticas del cuerpo” y “El Che: Una odisea africana”, en donde se pueden observar fotografías del acervo del Centro de Estudios Che Guevara.

El museo se encuentra en el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México y abre de martes a domingo de 10:00 a.m a 6:00 p.m.

Museo Nacional de las Intervenciones

07 de noviembre de 2017

Por Sebastián Celote

Con un espectacular jardín el Ex Convento de Churubusco está muy ligado a las intervenciones extranjeras en México, pues desde la primera sala existen artículos que representan la histórica guerra entre los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica y México en 1847.

Ex convento Churubusco, de Mayor Mejor

Por otra parte, no sólo se muestra el conflicto bélico que existió entre los estadounidense sino que también incluye la intervención francesa con pinturas de los personajes más representativos. La información ofrecida en dicho museo es fácil de digerir y está sintetizada a la perfección.

Patio del ex convento, de Wikimedia

Finalmente, el museo cuenta con salas en las que se puede interactuar de forma virtual para observar contenido audiovisual para que así se comprenda mejor lo que se ha viso en las salas anteriores y maquetas que ilustran los puntos geográficos clave de cada una de las batallas de intervención.

El museo está abierto de martes a domingo, en un horario de 9 a 16 horas. El costo al publico general es de $70; los  Maestros, estudiantes, niños menores de 13 años e INAPAM y días domingo: entrada libre.

MUAC: Una visión diferente

Por Viridiana García

Reproducción de un misil. Foto: Viridiana García. 

Colores brillantes, videos impactantes, sonidos que tienen la habilidad de cambiar tu perspectiva del mundo, una reproducción de un misil mortal y la historia de un pasado que no se debe olvidar… Son algunos de los elementos que puedes encontrar en las cuatro exposiciones que actualmente se presentan en el Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC).

Cevdet Erek. Una relación de larga distancia

Esta exposición potencializa el sentido auditivo al transmitir diferentes sonidos que, al mismo tiempo, se convierten en una partitura visual. Las voces femeninas contando una secuencia de números que al final terminan para iniciar una y otra vez, envolverán al escucha en un ambiente fuera de lo común.

Yoshua Okón. Colateral, no es apta para todo público, pues en ella el artista plasma investigaciones que parecieran ajenas a la vida cotidiana. Aborda temas raciales y culturales desde la perspectiva de grupos sociales específicos y muestra la cruda realidad de ciertos conflictos. Lo más atrayente de esta exposición es que el artista no niega los hechos, sino que los visibiliza, en algunas ocasiones, con situaciones grotescas pero totalmente verdaderas.

Escultura de la muestra Freedom Fries Still Life. Foto: Viridiana García.

Forensic Architecture

Fascinante y horripilante, son las palabras exactas para describir esta sala. En ella hay guerras, proyecciones escalofriantes y acciones que sólo el hombre puede llevar a cabo. Como su nombre lo enuncia, la agencia de investigación Forensic Architecture (FA), utiliza la arquitectura para mostrar y detallar los hechos. Su muestra principal es sobre los 43 estudiantes desaparecidos de Ayotzinapa.

Yves Klein

La monocromía del azul en objetos resalta a la vista no porque los objetos sean desconocidos, sino más bien porque la intensidad del color evoca sentimientos y pensamientos nuevos en la mente. El azul se convierte en un color en movimiento, un color que exige contemplación y sobre todo un color que no podrás dejar de mirar.

Información sobre el museo

Los miércoles y domingos la entrada al público en general es de $20 y para los estudiantes aplican 2x1, por lo que estos dos días son ideales para visitar el recinto. No obstante, en los demás días existe un 50% de descuento con credencial vigente a estudiantes, maestros, UNAM, INAPAM, jubilados (ISSSTE e IMSS).

*Para el público en general la entrada tiene un costo de $40, pero la entrada es libre para menores de 12 años, personas en sillas de ruedas y su acompañante, y miembros de ICOM, AMPROM y CIMAM.

En un rinconcito de la Ciudad de México, exactamente en la calle Milán número 45, Colonia Juárez, se encuentra un museo que no solo alberga cultura e historia, además contiene arte, sabores, olores y experiencias únicas. Ese es el Museo del Chocolate o MUCHO para los vecinos de los alrededores.

MUCHO, de Museos de México.

Ubicado en una preciosa casa de 1909, con una arquitectura afrancesada, propia de aquella época, el recinto abre sus puertas a un ambiente elegante y acogedor. Llegar ahí no es complicado, basta con abordar la línea uno del Metrobus, esa que recorre la Avenida Insurgentes. La estación es Hamburgo, la cual queda a cuatro cuadras de dicho lugar.

El MUCHO es un museo en el que todo el público puede deleitarse, puesto que en sus salas se muestra la relación que existe entre México y el chocolate. La sala uno, la cual está dedicada a explicar qué es el chocolate. Daniel Hernández, historiador y guía de MUCHO, asegura que la palabra chocolate proviene del náhuatl xocolātl, que significa ‘agua amarga’.

En la sala dos del museo, se detalla la historia del chocolate a través de pancartas, las cuales con ayuda de imágenes y texto, van detallando cronológicamente cómo es que este alimento se ha ido consolidando como uno de los más importantes en México. 

Entrar a la sala tres del Museo del Chocolate, es entrar a Tabasco, específicamente a la zona de  cultivo del cacao. Una simulación de las hojas de los árboles del cacao, rozan la cabeza de una persona cuya  estatura rebasa un poco el promedio de la de un mexicano. Imitar el ambiente del lugar  que ve nacer a estas plantas, sin duda ayuda a que las personas que no se dedican a cultivar puedan darse una idea de lo que significa estar al pie de uno de esos grandes árboles.

La sala número cuatro de éste exhibe las calidades del chocolate y resalta los tipos que existen en el mercado como:

-Chocolate negro: Contiene alto porcentaje de pasta de cacao; cuanto mayor es, más amargo resulta ser el chocolate.

-Chocolate cobertura: Es idóneo para ser fundido. Su alto contenido en manteca de cacao hace que su aspecto sea liso y brillante. 

Sólo por mencionar algunos.

Es recomendable visitar el museo para que una vez terminada la travesía, leer la palabra ‘chocolate’ se convierta en algo diferente. En el imaginario ya no sólo se trata de un alimento más. La visión cambia respecto a este manjar y al mencionar ‘chocolate’, las palabras subsecuentes son;  cultura, gastronomía, historia, salud,  economía, trabajo, cacao, pero sobretodo: México.

El museo abre de lunes a domingo, de 11 am a 5 pm horas.

* Entrada General: $70

*Niños de 5 a 12, estudiantes, maestros, PcD, INAPAM: $45

El smartphone, el ideal compañero de vida

En la llamada era de la digitalización el uso del teléfono celular se ha convertido en algo indispensable en la vida cotidiana. Los papás lo utilizan como el medio para mantenerse al tanto de sus hijos, mientras que, para los jóvenes se convirtió casi en “su vida”, pues es ahí donde almacenan fotos, documentos, imágenes, aplicaciones y contactos.

En los últimos años el mercado de smartphones en México ha crecido considerablemente con la llegada de nuevas marcas como Huawei, HTC y ZTE. Por esta razón las empresas han apostado por equipos que pertenecen al grupo de gama media. Un claro ejemplo es Motorola que junto con Lenovo han logrado ofrecer celulares equilibrados en calidad-precio. 

Es por ello que cada vez más la oferta en gama media aumenta. Tal es el caso de la compañía Obi Worldphone que lanzó su línea de smartphones, en la que destaca el MV1, un celular que presume tener un diseño novedoso con tecnología de primer nivel, a un precio asequible para el consumidor mexicano, en especial para los jóvenes profesionales.

El MV1 cuenta con una pantalla de 5′’ y una resolución de alta definición (1280 x 720),  un procesador Snapdragon 212 de Qualcomm de cuatro núcleos de 1.3 GHz, y una cámara principal de 8 megapíxeles. Lo mejor de este smartphone podría ser su accesibilidad para tener dos tarjetas micro-SIM, así como la capacidad de memoria, que puede expandirse hasta 64 GB.

Sin embargo, aún hay personas que prefieren consumir marcas nacionales. Adrián Flores, estudiante de comunicación de la UNAM, es una de ellas. En entrevista exclusiva para CULMUS mencionó que prefería consumir marcas como Lanix, ya que era una manera de apoyar la economía nacional.

Asimismo expresó que,  aunque el MV1 ofrece buenas características a bajo costo, el comprar un celular depende en gran parte de las necesidades de la persona. Por ejemplo, él compraría un iPhone sólo para editar y realizar videos.

Los gustos y necesidades cambian, y por ello el mercado cubre la mayoría de estas demandas. Lo mejor es consultar antes de adquirir un nuevo equipo las ventajas y desventajas de éste, y disfrutar al máximo la experiencia de tener un smartphone, pues sigue siendo el ideal compañero de vida.
