Is the Zacuto MicroBoom worth $165? I like it for my talking head set up.

Some of you people are acting like it's still 1502 and it shows In 1502, after spending eight months exploring the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and Panama, Columbus beached in Jamaica at the end of June 1503. There, he and his men were stranded for one year. Since the governor of Hispaniola was not a fan of Columbus, he stopped any efforts to rescue him. At first, the natives were hospitable to Columbus, but his sailors stole from and cheated the natives. Finally, after six months the natives stopped their food supply to Columbus and his men. Columbus had one last trick up his sleeve. Columbus had an astronomy almanac by Abraham Zacuto. He noticed there was a lunar eclipse coming up on February 29, 1504. He met with the tribal leader and told him God was angry with native’s treatment of Columbus. He said his God would put clear sign of his anger in the sky by making the full Moon appear “inflamed with wrath.” His trick worked. When the natives saw the eclipse—on schedule, just as Columbus predicted—they ran from all directions to Columbus’ ships with fresh provisions, begging him to pray to his God for protection. Columbus went to the cabin of his ship to “pray,” timing the eclipse with his hourglass. Totality—the period of time when the moon is completely engulfed in Earth’s shadow—was about to end, so Columbus emerged from his cabin and told them God had forgiven them. Just then the moon started to reappear and the natives were grateful. They continued to care for his men for several more months until he was rescued.

Hispanic Day

Hispanic Day is celebrated every October 12 to mark Christopher Columbus’ first landfall in the Americas. Did you know that Columbus was seeking a direct route to Asia when he discovered the Americas? Spain Hispanic Day, also known as Fiesta Nacional de España or Día de la Hispanidad, is an official holiday in most Hispanic America under different names. All government administrative buildings and offices, banks, and stores are closed for the day. The day shines a light on Spanish identity and heritage — the bond between the old European country and Spanish-speaking Latin America. Learn about the historical significance of this day in Spain.

History of Hispanic Day

Christopher Columbus’ discovery of the Americas significantly changed the continent and Europe, making Spain the first modern superpower and shaping the Americas’ ethnic, cultural, and political landscapes. Columbus’ first voyage to the New World began on the evening of August 3, 1492. He left the harbor of Palos de la Frontera with three ships: Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Niña, with Christopher Columbus traveling on the first ship.

On October 12, 1492, the crew on the Pinta sighted land and informed Columbus. Then, Columbus and his men landed on an island and were received by the indigenous Arawak people. He later named the island San Salvador, though it was called Guanahani by the locals. He also referred to the indigenous people as Los Indios, creating a generalized term that will be used to describe the indigenous people of North, Central, and South America.

Columbus later continued his voyage, exploring northeast of Cuba and the northern coast of Hispaniola. In December of that year, Columbus founded the settlement of La Navidad in present-day Haiti and left 39 men there, after the permission of the local chief. On March 15, 1493, Columbus arrived in Spain with native prisoners. His discoveries were received with great celebration and quickly spread across Europe.

On September 24, 1493, Columbus set sail for the New World with 17 ships and about 1,500 men. During this voyage, he encountered the islands of Dominica, Maria-Galante, Montserrat, Antigua, the Virgin Islands, and more. In November 1493, he returned to Hispaniola and established a temporary settlement in La Isabela, present-day Dominican Republic.

The Spanish settlers soon introduced the encomienda system, where indigenous people provided labor for the Spaniards in return for food, shelter, and protection. That, along with the introduction of European diseases and the exportation of enslaved locals, led to a drastic reduction in the indigenous population.

Columbus set sail again on May 30, 1498, locating the regions of modern-day Central and South America. In 1499, Columbus was accused of tyranny and corruption. He and his brother were arrested, shipped to Spain, and spent six weeks in jail. The Columbus brothers were later absolved of all charges by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella and got sponsored for their fourth voyage to the New World.

On May 9, 1502, Columbus returned to the Americas with a fleet of 30 ships, but only one made it back to Spain. During this voyage, Columbus explored the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. However, he was impeded by a storm and shipwrecked in Jamaica, where they remained stranded for six months. In a desperate attempt to induce the natives to keep providing for him and his men, Columbus used the lunar eclipse of February 29, 1504, to scare them. He accurately predicted the event using Abraham Zacuto’s astronomical charts. On June 28, 1504, he and his men were rescued, and they arrived in Spain on November 7, 1504.

Spain’s National Day today is a celebration of the country’s heritage. The day is an homage to over 400 million people across continents united by a common language, history, and culture. The quintessential Spanish lifestyle is fully displayed – concerts, street shows, dance, people in regional costumes, and excellent food and wine. The National Day of Spain has faced many changes throughout the 20th Century, but many still regard it as one of the most important days in Spanish history.

🍀¡Hola familia!. Hoyl 29 de febrero, es un día más en el calendario🗓, debido a un fenómeno astrónomico. Los años con un día más, son conocidos como "Años Bisiestos". Desde la antigüedad, el hombre ha tenido la necesidad de medir el tiempo, para poder organizarse en relación, a los ciclos naturales estacionales. Aunque creemos que el año tiene 365 días, la realidad es que, lo que hace que aumente un día en el calendario, se origina debido al movimiento de traslación en la órbita por la que circula el planeta tierra 🌏 alrededor del Sol ☀ , y que tiene una duración de 365 días con casi 6 horas (1/4 de día). Esto hace que cada 4 años, se le agregue un día más al mes de febrero. Pero, ¿porqué se ajusta en el mes de febrero, y no en otro mes?. Se hace en febrero para poder asegurar que el "Equinoccio de primavera" ocurra, siempre, entre el 20 o 21 de marzo y así no se desfase el calendario🗓. El termino "Bisiesto" proviene del latín "Bis sextus", que complementa la expresión "Bis sextus dies ante calendas Martii" que significa: "Doble sexto día antes de las calendas de Marzo". Curiosamente lo anterior, para los romanos, definía el día 23 de febrero como un día doble, de 48 horas, que era el "sexto día antes de marzo", y al ser doble se convertía en el "bi-sexto día antes de marzo". Existen algunos mitos sobre este día, por ejemplo, los escoceses🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 lo consideran un día de mala suerte, algo parecido al martes 13. Los griegos🇬🇷 consideran que es un mal día para casarse, porque conlleva al fracaso de la pareja. Sin embargo, en Irlanda🇮🇪 se relaciona este día con la fortuna y la buena suerte. En Gran Bretaña, las mujeres podían proponer matrimonio, únicamente los 29 de febrero. Por otro lado, las primeras órdenes de arresto contra las "Brujas de Salem" fueron entregadas un 29 de febrero de 1692. Cristóbal Colón, durante su cuarto y último viaje, permaneció varado por algunos meses en lo que hoy es Jamaica🇯🇲. Esto debido al daño provocado a sus embarcaciones, por las increíbles tormentas🌩 del mar 🌊 caribe, que sumado a la falta de alimentos, provocó una situación que hizo que la relación con los pobladores de la isla se complicara derivando en altercados con ellos. Colón aprovechó que, al conocer de antemano que iba a darse un eclipse lunar el 29 de febrero de 1504, publicado en el "Almanach Perpétuum", de Abraham Zacuto, les profetizara a los jefes de los pobladores de la isla, que Dios les castigaría si no le proporcionaban alimentos a su gente, y que en señal de su enojo, haría que la luna se pintara de rojo. Por cierto, hoy también es el "Día del Soltero" en Irlanda🇮🇪.

Posted by Don Rose

Throughout the venue, guests will find photo studios, lounges, casino style gaming, and beauty services provided by the Beauty Bus Foundation. One of the highlights of the evening will be the online silent and live auctions sponsored by ZACUTO GROUP that will feature items and packages including one-of-a-kind opportunities, concert and event tickets, restaurants, staycations, golf packages and many other wonderful items donated by friends throughout the community.

Concern is honored to celebrate The Best of LA 2023® on Los Angeles Magazine Street for the 17th year, which will feature lounges, photo booths, food stations, DJ dancing, and much, much more. Los Angeles magazine will once again make a financial contribution to Concern to help further their mission.

Starting from a simple idea back in the early 70’s that has grown to become a reality with thousands of moving parts is the one thing that sets Concern’s signature Block Party apart from most other organizations in this city.

Correction: Abraham Zacuto actually managed to leave in 1497, and went to Venice.

But go look into Gracia Nassi, also called La Señora, and born and baptised as a new christian as Beatriz de Luna. She was the richest woman in the early 16th century, a filantropist and businesswoman, and the first one to set up such an impressive network across the globe to help jews escape Spain and Portugal, she founded a whole fucking city for them in the Ottoman Empire. Please read about her. She was the one who left shortly after the pogrom.

Ana I don't get something. In some government sources (not Portuguese tho, so maybe that's why) it says there's only 600 Jewish people in Portugal?? That has to be fake right? Because another sources states there are at least 30,000 Sephardic Jews in Portugal.

It’s definitely closer to 600.

I know it was 600 around 2015, but the number has since risen to 1500 in recent years, according to the bbc.

The link above is in portuguese but it does state what I believe is the source of confusion.

There are 1500 practicing jews in portugal. Since around I believe 2015, there has been a law, same as Spain, that in order to seek forgiveness for the repression and persecution suffered, anyone who can prove sephardic portuguese ancestry can get portuguese citizenship.

So far around 30.000 people have applied for that. That’s where I think the number comes from.

I’m typing this on my phone and was just about to get in the shower but there’s actually very good and obvious reasons (or, they will become obvious) to why the jewish population of portugal is so small. If you want to understand more just let me know

Совсем нюх потеряли... ... ... Я говорю не про болезнь ковид в прямом смысле слова, а про то что происходит вокруг. Все те, кто могут получить выгоду в новых реалиях- ее получают и если есть возможность сократить расходы - ничто не помешает оптимизации. Большие компании и корпорации, пишут большие лозунги про помощь во время ковид, про перевод на удаленку, про отказ от сокращений и другие благие намерения. Что по факту? По факту просто болтовня. Реструктуризация кредитов - такого не существует. Связаться с кем-то из поддержки какой-нибудь фирмы практически невозможно. Говорят только боты, а где настоящие люди - скорее всего сокращены. Выгодный предлог для реализации цифровой революции. Да и зачем крупной компании человеческий ответ? Выгоднее отработанный алгоритм, который пошлёт человека с ненужными вопросами. Вы пытались связаться с фэйсбук? Это почти невозможно. Пайпал в России вообще отключил федеральную горячую линию. Идентификация разработчика в ФБ невозможна до окончания ковид. Пайпал требует пройти обязательную идентификацию даже если она невозможна из-за того же ковид.... .... Если бы люди в коллцентрах были бы на удаленке - они бы отвечали. А так только слышна болтовня цифровых ботов. Такое ощущение что #skynet нас уже захватил и во главе многих крупных компаний людей не осталось..... ... P.S. А зачем фэйсбук постоянно сбрасывает пароли, а потом говорит, что тот или иной пароль уже использовался? Ощущение что Facebook знают все мои пароли. Точно Skynet. .... #covid #covid_19 #selife #zacuto #sachtler #smallhd #cinematography #filmmaker #directorofphotography #camerasetup #filmlife #cinematographer #cinemalens #lensforcinema #lensmanufacture #cameraassistant #camerarig #cameralens #cinemascope #filmphotography #bigcompany #company #facebook #paypal (at Cinematic) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGYtM-hIV7/?igshid=1mja9mp77ruhc
