El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail TX, LA Trail sites are located across 2,580 miles and 5 states (in the U.S.) and thousands of miles in Mexico. The trail runs from the city of Lafayette to the town of Natchitoches. The trail travels west from there into Texas. It splits into two trails while in the state of Louisiana, and joins again at the border with Texas. Website The Trail is administered by the NPS office located at: National Trails Office Regions 6, 7, & 8 El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail 1100 Old Santa Fe Trail Santa Fe, NM 87505      During the Spanish colonial period in North America, numerous “royal roads” — or caminos reales — tied far-flung regions of the empire to Mexico City. One particular collection of indigenous trails and trade routes became known as El Camino Real de los Tejas, the primary overland route for the Spanish colonization of what is today Texas and northwestern Louisiana. The trail's name is derived not only from its geographic extent but also from some of its original users. Spaniards referred to a prominent group of Caddo Indians as the Tejas, a word derived from the Caddo term for ‘friend' or ‘ally.' Thus, the Spanish province of Tejas, the Mexican state of Coahuila y Tejas, and the historic trail traversing them owe their name to the Caddo language. Postcards from Louisiana. Albany Navarre.

It always rains in February. Where is Zorro on this stormy night?" asks one soldier."Zorro! Don't say that name! He is a bandit and a criminal," says Sergeant Gonzales."He is the terror of southern California," says another soldier."People say that he takes from the rich and gives to the poor. He is a friend of the natives and the friars. He punishes dishonest people," says an old man."Ha!Zorro is a big mystery. Who is he? Where is he from? He wears a black mask and no one can see his face. He travels on the El Camino Real on his fast horse. He is very good with his sword," says the Sergeant."Yes,and he leaves his mark - the Z -everywhere," says the old man."No one can stop him. The Governor of California offers a big reward for the capture of Zorro," says one soldier.At that moment, a man enters the tavern.He is young and handsome.He has black hair and dark eyes.He has fine clothes."Don Diego Vega, my friend!" says Sergeant Gonzales. "Your clothes are wet. Why are you out on this rainy night?"Don Diego smiles and says, "I am going home, but I am cold and wet. I want something to drink.""Come and stand near the fire," says the Sergeant. "Here is a glass of wine.""Thank you, my friend," says Don Diego."We are talking about Zorro. Everyone is scared of him, but I am not! I am ready to fight Zorro and win! I am a champion with the sword. What do you think, Don Diego?" asks the Sergeant."Everyone talks about this mysterious man with a mask. Many people say good things about him," says Don Diego."I want to fight him and capture him! I want the big reward," says Sergeant Gonzales."No,no! Don't talk about fighting. I hate fighting and I hate violence. I think Zorro is sincere. He punishes only bad people. He protects the poor, the natives and the friars. Let Zorro do his work," says Don Diego."You are a kind man. You like music and poetry. You don't understand, my friend.You are rich and noble," says the Sergeant.Don Diego smiles and says, "It's 6 p.m. I must return to my hacienda. Goodnight everyone."He opens the tavern door and goes out into the rain.翻译第一章：暴风雨之夜雷纳洛杉矶是加利福尼亚南部的一个西班牙村庄。村子里有一个军事要塞，里面有西班牙士兵和他们的马匹。这里还有一座西班牙教堂，叫做传教会。西班牙修士住在这里。村子周围都是带露台的大房子。今晚，有一场可怕的暴风雨，正在下雨。在村里的酒馆里，有士兵和其他男人。他们又吃又喝。佩德罗·冈萨雷斯中士在酒馆。他是一个高大强壮的人。“多么可怕的夜晚！二月总是下雨。在这个暴风雨的夜晚佐罗在哪里？”一个士兵问道。“佐罗!不要说那个名字！他是一个强盗和罪犯，”冈萨雷斯警官说。“他是南加州的恐怖分子，”另一名士兵说。“人们说他拿富人的钱给穷人。他是当地人和修士的朋友。他惩罚不诚实的人，”一位老人说。“哈!佐罗是一个很大的谜团。他是谁？他是哪里人？他戴着一个黑色的面具，没有人能看到他的脸。他骑着快马在埃尔卡米诺公路上旅行。他的剑术很好，”警官说。“是的，他的记号——Z——到处都是，”老人说。“没人能阻止他。加州州长悬赏捉拿佐罗，”一名士兵说。就在这时，一个男人走进酒馆。他年轻英俊。他有黑头发和黑眼睛。他有漂亮的衣服。“唐·迭戈·维加，我的朋友！”冈萨雷斯警官说。“你的衣服湿了。你为什么在这个雨夜出来？”唐·迭戈笑着说：“我要回家了，但是我又冷又湿。我想喝点什么。”“过来站在火旁边，”警官说。“这是一杯酒。”“谢谢你，我的朋友，”唐·迭戈说。“我们在谈论佐罗。每个人都怕他，但我不怕！我已经准备好和佐罗战斗并取得胜利！我是拿剑的冠军。你觉得呢，唐·迭戈？”警官问。“每个人都在谈论这个戴着面具的神秘人。很多人都说他的好话，”唐·迭戈说。“我要和他战斗，抓住他！”我想要大赏金，”冈萨雷斯警官说。“不,不!不要谈论打架。我讨厌打架，讨厌暴力。我认为佐罗是真诚的。他只惩罚坏人。他保护穷人，当地人和修士。让佐罗做他的工作，”唐·迭戈说。“你是个善良的人。你喜欢音乐和诗歌。你不明白，我的朋友。你既富有又高贵。”警官说。唐·迭戈笑着说：“现在是下午6点。我得回我的庄园了。大家晚安。”他打开酒馆的门，走到雨中。

In Hispano Bastion: New Mexican Power in the Age of Manifest Destiny, 1837-1860 (University of New Mexico Press, 2023), historian Dr. Michael J. Alarid examines New Mexico's transition from Spanish to Mexican to US control during the nineteenth century and illuminates how emerging class differences played a crucial role in the regime change. After Mexico won independence from Spain in 1821, trade between Mexico and the United States attracted wealthy Hispanos into a new market economy and increased trade along El Camino Real, turning it into a burgeoning exchange route. As landowning Hispanos benefited from the Santa Fe trade, traditional relationships between wealthy and poor Nuevomexicanos--whom Alarid calls patrónes and vecinos--started to shift. Far from being displaced by US colonialism, wealthy Nuevomexicanos often worked in concert with new American officials after US troops marched into New Mexico in 1846, and in the process, Dr. Alarid argues, the patrónes abandoned their customary obligations to vecinos, who were now evolving into a working class. Wealthy Nuevomexicanos, the book argues, succeeded in preserving New Mexico as a Hispano bastion, but they did so at the expense of poor vecinos. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

El Camino Real de California es una ruta histórica creada por soldados, misioneros y colonos españoles. Servía para comunicar entre sí los presidios, que es como llamaban a los fuertes militares, las misiones y los pueblos que se iban fundando en la Baja California. De aquellos polvos vienen las ciudades de San Diego, Los Ángeles o San Francisco.Siguiendo la ruta de aquellos colonizadores, vamos a recorrer la costa y la historia de California. 1.000 kilómetros en los que David Botello (@DavidBotello4) y Esther Sánchez (@estesan1969), acompañados por el actor Fernando Gil, se cruzan con frailes, viñedos, estrellas de cine, indios, buscadores de oro, bosques de secuoyas, mexicanos, millonarios, vengadores, casas encantadas, escritores malditos, pioneros del oeste y tipos duros sedientos de sangre y de gloria. Un recorrido lleno de magia, de cine y de sorpresas.

His story begins in a favela in Guaruja, near São Paulo, and passes through hardships that would have knocked anyone down. But not Victor, who never gave up. With his wife Johnni by his side, he fought his way back to the United States after being deported, won back sponsors, took a job as a waiter when he lived in the California desert to earn day-trips to surf the coast. Victor's story teaches that talent without sacrifice, dedication and a willingness to fight can easily go to waste.Victor Bernardo negli ultimi anni si è affermato come uno dei free surfer più eleganti e stilosi al mondo, ma pochi sanno che è arrivato in vetta soprattutto perché ha saputo lottare. La sua storia inizia in una favela di Guaruja, vicino San Paolo, e passa per difficoltà che avrebbero buttato giù chiunque. Ma non Victor, che non si è mai arreso. Con sua moglie Johnni al fianco ha lottato per rientrare negli Stati Uniti dopo esser stato deportato, si è riconquistato degli sponsor, ha accettato di lavorare come cameriere quando viveva nel deserto della California per guadagnarsi dei day-trip di surf sulla costa. La storia di Victor Bernardo insegna che il talento senza sacrificio, dedizione e voglia di combattere può facilmente andare sprecato.

We are in Austin, TX again, at Onion Creek Metropolitan Park on a mild spring morning. It's April 5, 2024. Onion Creek Greenway Trail follows a large “S” curve along Onion Creek on the semi-suburban south side of Austin, Texas. Located about two miles from the closest strand of Austin's web of highways, it is one of the more serene riparian destinations within the city limits. It's a popular place to walk dogs or go for a jog. The trailhead I arrived at even had a barista / food cart. Getting off the main trail will afford the visitor a quiet, intimate experience with the creek and wildlife. There's a fair amount of human history here too if you know where to look, dating back thousands of years to the El Camino Real period and presence of Coahuiltecan Native Americans.Onion Creek Metropolitan Park owes its existence to a more recent history of ill-fated development and flood events culminating in The Halloween Flood of 2013: Austin received over 10 inches of rain during a single 24-hour period. Onion Creek rose by 11 feet in a mere 15 minutes and eventually hit an all-time high of 41 feet (topping a 1921 record by three feet). Water coursed through it at twice the velocity of Niagara Falls—enough to easily topple houses and trees, and move multi-ton objects like boulders and automobiles. The Halloween flood killed five people and damaged over 1,200 houses.The houses that once stood in the area were demolished but a patchwork of “ghost streets” that once served them remain, offering visitors a view of the slow process of residential re-wilding (and/or recreational redevelopment). Unlike the ghost towns of the previous century, which were built to extract one local resource, these ghost streets may offer a window into the future, where residential areas are abandoned after flood events owing to more frequent and intense storms, or erosion from sea level rise, or conversely, water scarcity making some places simply too impractical to inhabit.It's a reminder to live in the moment, to cultivate non-attatchment to things, and consider the adaptive strategies of wildlife. Despite its origin near the site of a

Matt Parker è lo shaper visionario fondatore di Album, marchio californiano sinonimo di stile e con un team di rider fenomenali. Da un primo incontro nel suo garage è nata quest'intervista sull'ascesa di un progetto costruito sull'attenzione al dettaglio, sul rapporto uno-ad-uno con lo shaper, sull'idea di esclusività.Matt ci racconta dei suoi ragazzi, un team stellare di free surfer iconici come Josh Kerr, Asher Pacey, Victor Bernardo, McKenzie Bowden, Jack Freestone, Clay Marzo. Grazie anche all'immagine di questi grandiosi interpreti, Album si è posizionato forse come il primo surfboard brand di lusso, potendosi permettere di uscire con prezzi nettamente più alti della media del mercato. Un esperimento ambizioso (e riuscito) fondato sulla passione, non sul guadagno: “Produciamo circa 2000 tavole l'anno e siamo contenti di fermarci qui, non vogliamo diventare più grandi. Se il surf diventa il tuo lavoro e riesci a vivere di questo, hai vinto”.Matt Parker is the visionary shaper who founded Album, a California brand that is synonymous with style and a stellar roster of team riders. From an early casual meeting in his garage came this interview about the rise of a project built on attention to detail, a one-on-one relationship with the shaper, and the idea of exclusivity.Matt talks about his lads, a stellar team of iconic free surfers such as Josh Kerr, Asher Pacey, Victor Bernardo, McKenzie Bowden, Jack Freestone, and Clay Marzo. Thanks also to the image of these great performers, Album has positioned itself as perhaps the first luxury surfboard brand, being able to make significantly higher prices than the market average. An ambitious (and successful) experiment based on passion, not profit: "We make about 2,000 boards a year and we are happy to stop here, we don't want to get bigger. If surfing becomes your job and you can make a living out it, you've already won."

On August 30, 1991, Dawn Elaine Sanchez was living at the Four Seasons Motor Lodge on the 4300 block of El Camino Real in Los Altos, CA. On this particular day, Dawn drove off in a tan and brown 1979 Pontiac Grand Prix, along with her boyfriend, Bernardo Bass and another acquaintance. She was never seen or heard from again. Dawn was reported missing 2 months later, but. by then it was too late. Police did the best they could during the investigation, but like many other cases, this one went cold.In 2009, Dawn's case was reopened, only this time, NASA stepped in. Engineers just happened to have a roving ground vehicle available that was equipped to conduct magnetic surveys, and they covered an empty track of land where the car Dawn was in was said to have been dismantled and abandoned. This car was found, leading authorities to Dawn's boyfriend at the time. He eventually pleaded no contest to her disappearance, but to this day, Dawn has yet to be found.If you have any information on this case, please contact the Los Altos Police Department 650-947-2770.Dying to be found and Dying to be Found: The DASH are now part of Sound Slice Audo Productions.

James Gross and Micah Toll discuss Micah's latest article on Electrek: The 'New York Times' attacks e-bikes while ignoring the real danger all around us  The New York Times published a pair of articles this weekend highlighting the rising number of deaths of cyclists riding electric bikes. However, in one of the most impressive feats of victim-blaming I've seen from the publication in some time, the NYT lays the onus on e-bikes instead of on the things killing their law abiding riders: cars. By all accounts, the e-bike rider was correctly and legally using the roadway in the only way he could. In fact, according to eye-witnesses of the car crash that killed the e-bike rider, he “did everything right,” including signaling his turn.  The article goes on to detail how just three days later another teenage e-bike rider was pulled out from under a BMW – thankfully still alive – and taken to the same emergency room where the previous boy had been pronounced dead. Apparent praise is lauded on Encinitas for soon afterward declaring “a state of emergency for e-bikes,” which is a bit like saying we could just solve the school shootings crisis if kids would stop walking into all of those damn bullets. Two other points that the NYT didn't do research on:  El Camino is the most dangerous road in Encinitas. We also had a pedestrian fatality this year of a young man at another area of high crash count in Encinitas. The Encinitas City Council in 2020 voted out speed cameras on El Camino Real, which is one of the biggest deterrents to speeding and distracted driving. It also set a terrible precedent that we don't believe in enforcing traffic laws and using technology to help create a consistent standard that we won't tolerate dangerous and illegal driving in our city.  https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/communities/north-county/encinitas/story/2020-05-10/encinitas-pulls-the-plug-on-red-light-camera-program  This quote should have led the NYT piece with some more research: “Nothing has changed, and hundreds of people are still getting these ridiculous fines,” Mosca said, referring to the $490 court-set cost of a ticket. Credit to Mayor Kranz and Councilmember Hinze for both voting against taking out the speeding/RL cameras.  Finally, a 56 year old woman was killed and a 32 old man is in critical condition from car violence while on bikes this week in San Diego. One was hit by a Chevy Silverago and the other a F-150. Can you guess which two cars are responsible for killing the most Americans every year? Imagine if we looked to regulate safety for those vehicles? I know that is not going to happen anytime soon, in the meantime we can make our streets safer through slower speeds, traffic enforcement and safety education for riders (and drivers) and not through victim blaming. https://www.nbcsandiego.com/news/local/e-biker-dies-after-collision-with-pickup-in-gaslamp-quarter-san-diego-police/3272854/  Micah on Electrek: https://electrek.co/author/micahltoll/ Micah's ebike school channel: https://www.youtube.com/@EbikeSchool

The Mogollon culture was an indigenous culture in the Western United States and Mexico that ranged from New Mexico and Arizona to Sonora, Mexico and out to Texas. They flourished from around 200 CE until the Spanish showed up and claimed their lands. The cultures that pre-existed them date back thousands more years, although archaeology has yet to pinpoint exactly how those evolved. Like many early cultures, they farmed and foraged. As they farmed more, their homes become more permanent and around 800 CE they began to create more durable homes that helped protect them from wild swings in the climate. We call those homes adobes today and the people who lived in those peublos and irrigated water, often moving higher into mountains, we call the Peubloans - or Pueblo Peoples. Adobe homes are similar to those found in ancient cultures in what we call Turkey today. It's an independent evolution. Adobe Creek was once called Arroyo de las Yeguas by the monks from Mission Santa Clara and then renamed to San Antonio Creek by a soldier Juan Prado Mesa when the land around it was given to him by the governor of Alto California at the time, Juan Bautista Alvarado. That's the same Alvarado as the street if you live in the area. The creek runs for over 14 miles north from the Black Mountain and through Palo Alto, California. The ranchers built their adobes close to the creeks. American settlers led the Bear Flag Revolt in 1846, and took over the garrison of Sonoma, establishing the California Republic - which covered much of the lands of the Peubloans. There were only 33 of them at first, but after John Fremont (yes, he of whom that street is named after as well) encouraged the Americans, they raised an army of over 100 men and Fremont helped them march on Sutter's fort, now with the flag of the United States, thanks to Joseph Revere of the US Navy (yes, another street in San Francisco bears his name).  James Polk had pushed to expand the United States. Manfiest Destiny. Remember The Alamo. Etc. The fort at Monterey fell, the army marched south. Admiral Sloat got involved. They named a street after him. General Castro surrendered - he got a district named after him. Commodore Stockton announced the US had taken all of Calfironia soon after that. Manifest destiny was nearly complete. He's now basically the patron saint of a city, even if few there know who he was. The forts along the El Camino Real that linked the 21 Spanish Missions, a 600-mile road once walked by their proverbial father, Junípero Serra following the Portolá expedition of 1769, fell. Stockton took each, moving into Los Angeles, then San Diego. Practically all of Alto California fell with few shots. This was nothing like the battles for the independence of Texas, like when Santa Anna reclaimed the Alamo Mission.  Meanwhile, the waters of Adobe Creek continued to flow. The creek was renamed in the 1850s after Mesa built an adobe on the site. Adobe Creek it was. Over the next 100 years, the area evolved into a paradise with groves of trees and then groves of technology companies. The story of one begins a little beyond the borders of California.  Utah was initialy explored by Francisco Vázquez de Coronado in 1540 and settled by Europeans in search of furs and others who colonized the desert, including those who established the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormons - who settled there in 1847, just after the Bear Flag Revolt. The United States officially settled for the territory in 1848 and Utah became a territory and after a number of map changes wher ethe territory got smaller, was finally made a state in 1896. The University of Utah had been founded all the way back in 1850, though - and re-established in the 1860s.  100 years later, the University of Utah was a hotbed of engineers who pioneered a number of graphical advancements in computing. John Warnock went to grad school there and then went on to co-found Adobe and help bring us PostScript. Historically, PS, or Postscript was a message to be placed at the end of a letter, following the signature of the author. The PostScript language was a language to describe a page of text computationally. It was created by Adobe when Warnock, Doug Brotz, Charles Geschke, Bill Paxton (who worked on the Mother of All Demos with Doug Englebart during the development of Online System, or NLS in the late 70s and then at Xerox PARC), and Ed Taft. Warnock invented the Warnock algorithm while working on his PhD and went to work at Evans & Sutherland with Ivan Sutherland who effectively created the field of computer graphics. Geschke got his PhD at Carnegie Melon in the early 1970s and then went of to Xerox PARC. They worked with Paxton at PARC and before long, these PhDs and mathematicians had worked out the algorithms and then the languages to display images on computers while working on InterPress graphics at Xerox and Gerschke left Xerox and started Adobe. Warnock joined them and they went to market with Interpress as PostScript, which became a foundation for the Apple LaswerWriter to print graphics.  Not only that, PostScript could be used to define typefaces programmatically and later to display any old image.    Those technologies became the foundation for the desktop publishing industry. Apple released the 1984 Mac and other vendors brought in PostScript to describe graphics in their proprietary fashion and by 1991 they released PostScript Level 2 and then PostScript 3 in 1997. Other vendors made their own or furthered standards in their own ways and Adobe could have faded off into the history books of computing. But Adobe didn't create one product, they created an industry and the company they created to support that young industry created more products in that mission.  Steve Jobs tried to buy Adobe before that first Mac as released, for $5,000,000. But Warnock and Geschke had a vision for an industry in mind. They had a lot of ideas but development was fairly capital intensive, as were go to market strategies. So they went public on the NASDAQ in 1986. They expanded their PostScript distribution and sold it to companies like Texas Instruments for their laser printer, and other companies who made IBM-compatible companies. They got up to $16 million in sales that year. Warnock's wife was a graphic designer. This is where we see a diversity of ideas help us think about more than math. He saw how she worked and could see a world where Ivan Sutherland's Sketchpad was much more given how far CPUs had come since the TX-0 days at MIT. So Adobe built and released Illustrator in 1987. By 1988 they broke even on sales and it raked in $19 million in revenue. Sales were strong in the universities but PostScript was still the hot product, selling to printer companies, typesetters, and other places were Adobe signed license agreements.  At this point, we see where the math, cartesian coordinates, drawn by geometric algorithms put pixels where they should be. But while this was far more efficient than just drawing a dot in a coordinate for larger images, drawing a dot in a pixel location was still the easier technology to understand.  They created Adobe Screenline in 1989 and Collectors Edition to create patterns. They listened to graphic designers and built what they heard humans wanted. Photoshop Nearly every graphic designer raves about Adobe Photoshop. That's because Photoshop is the best selling graphics editorial tool that has matured far beyond most other traditional solutions and now has thousands of features that allow users to manipulate images in practically any way they want.  Adobe Illustrator was created in 1987 and quickly became the de facto standard in vector-based graphics. Photoshop began life in 1987 as well, when Thomas and John Knoll, wanted to build a simpler tool to create graphics on a computer. Rather than vector graphics they created a raster graphical editor.  They made a deal with Barneyscan, a well-known scanner company that managed to distribute over two hundred copies of Photoshop with their scanners and Photoshop became a hit as it was the first editing software people heard about. Vector images are typically generated with Cartesian coordinates based on geometric formulas and so scale out more easily. Raster images are comprised of a grid of dots, or pixels, and can be more realistic.  Great products are rewarded with competitions. CorelDRAW was created in 1989 when Michael Bouillon and Pat Beirne built a tool to create vector illustrations. The sales got slim after other competitors entered the market and the Knoll brothers got in touch with Adobe and licensed the product through them. The software was then launched as Adobe Photoshop 1 in 1990. They released Photoshop 2 in 1991. By now they had support for paths, and given that Adobe also made Illustrator, EPS and CMYK rasterization, still a feature in Photoshop.  They launched Adobe Photoshop 2.5 in 1993, the first version that could be installed on Windows. This version came with a toolbar for filters and 16-bit channel support. Photoshop 3 came in 1994 and Thomas Knoll created what was probably one of the most important features added, and one that's become a standard in graphical applications since, layers. Now a designer could create a few layers that each had their own elements and hide layers or make layers more transparent. These could separate the subject from the background and led to entire new capabilities, like an almost faux 3 dimensional appearance of graphics..  Then version four in 1996 and this was one of the more widely distributed versions and very stable. They added automation and this was later considered part of becoming a platform - open up a scripting language or subset of a language so others built tools that integrated with or sat on top of those of a product, thus locking people into using products once they automated tasks to increase human efficiency.  Adobe Photoshop 5.0 added editable type, or rasterized text. Keep in mind that Adobe owned technology like PostScript and so could bring technology from Illustrator to Photoshop or vice versa, and integrate with other products - like export to PDF by then. They also added a number of undo options, a magnetic lasso, improved color management and it was now a great tool for more advanced designers. Then in 5.5 they added a save for web feature in a sign of the times. They could created vector shapes and continued to improve the user interface. Adobe 5 was also a big jump in complexity. Layers were easy enough to understand, but Photoshop was meant to be a subset of Illustrator features and had become far more than that. So in 2001 they released Photoshop Elements. By now they had a large portfolio of products and Elements was meant to appeal to the original customer base - the ones who were beginners and maybe not professional designers. By now, some people spent 40 or more hours a day in tools like Photoshop and Illustrator.  Adobe Today Adobe had released PostScript, Illustrator, and Photoshop. But they have one of the most substantial portfolios of products of any company. They also released Premiere in 1991 to get into video editing. They acquired Aldus Corporation to get into more publishing workflows with PageMaker. They used that acquisition to get into motion graphics with After Effects. They acquired dozens of companies and released their products as well. Adobe also released the PDF format do describe full pages of information (or files that spread across multiple pages) in 1993 and Adobe Acrobat to use those. Acrobat became the de facto standard for page distribution so people didn't have to download fonts to render pages properly. They dabbled in audio editing when they acquired Cool Edit Pro from Syntrillium Software and so now sell Adobe Audition.  Adobe's biggest acquisition was Macromedia in 2005. Here, they added a dozen new products to the portfolio, which included Flash, Fireworks, WYSYWIG web editor Dreamweaver, ColdFusion, Flex, and Breeze, which is now called Adobe Connect. By now, they'd also created what we call Creative Suite, which are packages of applications that could be used for given tasks. Creative Suite also signaled a transition into a software as a service, or SaaS mindset. Now customers could pay a monthly fee for a user license rather than buy large software packages each time a new version was released. Adobe had always been a company who made products to create graphics. They expanded into online marketing and web analytics when they bought Omniture in 2009 for $1.8 billion. These products are now normalized into the naming convention used for the rest as Adobe Marketing Cloud. Flash fell by the wayside and so the next wave of acquisitions were for more mobile-oriented products. This began with Day Software and then Nitobi in 2011. And they furthered their Marketing Cloud support with an acquisition of one of the larger competitors when they acquired Marketo in 2018 and acquiring Workfront in 2020.  Given how many people started working from home, they also extended their offerings into pure-cloud video tooling with an acquisition of Frame.io in 2021. And here we see a company started by a bunch of true computer sciencists from academia in the early days of the personal computer that has become far more. They could have been rolled into Apple but had a vision of a creative suite of products that could be used to make the world a prettier place. Creative Suite then Creative Cloud shows a move of the same tools into a more online delivery model. Other companies come along to do similar tasks, like infinite digital whiteboard Miro - so they have to innovate to stay marketable. They have to continue to increase sales so they expand into other markets like the most adjacent Marketing Cloud.  At 22,500+ employees and with well over $12 billion in revenues, they have a lot of families dependent on maintaining that growth rate. And so the company becomes more than the culmination of their software. They become more than graphic design, web design, video editing, animation, and visual effects. Because in software, if revenues don't grow at a rate greater than 10 percent per year, the company simply isn't outgrowing the size of the market and likely won't be able to justify stock prices at an inflated earnings to price ratio that shows explosive growth. And yet once a company saturates sales in a given market they have shareholders to justify their existence to. Adobe has survived many an economic downturn and boom time with smart, measured growth and is likely to continue doing so for a long time to come.

Tyson Motsenbocker is an author and musician who, in addition to having the best last name to say out loud, wrote a beautiful book about his 40-day pilgrimage up the coast of California. Tyson's luminous and beloved mom passed away, and only a few short days after the funeral, he walked out his front door and across the state. Motsenbocker walked hundreds of miles as he started to process his grief and his disappointment with a God who felt suddenly unsafe. Maybe you can identify with a world that looks abruptly and irrevocably different. What on earth is a person to do? I think you'll enjoy hearing Tyson's stories of how we walk these roads, what we learn, and how we return home and bring some of the road with us. After years on the road, Tyson Motsenbocker returned home to the impending death of his 57-year-old hero and mother. He begged God to heal her, but she died anyway. With the death of his mother followed the death of the childhood version of his faith. Shortly before her death, however, Tyson became intrigued by the complicated legacy of Father Junipero Serra, the 18th-century Franciscan monk and canonized saint who dedicated his life to the idea that tragedy and suffering are portals to renewal. Father Serra was a complicated figure – one who built Missions up and down the California coast, spreading Christianity and care, as well as colonizing the native population and stripping them of their traditions and culture. Tyson discovered Serra's "El Camino Real," a 600-mile pilgrimage route between Tijuana and San Francisco that had been largely forgotten for more than 200 years. Two days after his mother's memorial service, Tyson set out on a pilgrimage of sorts, intending to walk from San Diego to San Francisco along the El Camino, following in the footsteps of the saint. Tyson's journey takes him down smog-choked highways, across fog-laden beaches, past multi-million-dollar coastal estates, and through towering redwood forests. And as he walks, Tyson also wrestles with his faith, questioning the pat answers and easy prayers he once readily accepted, trying to understand how hope and tragedy can all be wrapped up in the same God. The people he meets along the way challenge his understanding of the meaning of security, of what it means to live a meaningful life, and of the legacies we all leave behind. Where the Waves Turn Back is both part journal and part spiritual memoir and, ultimately, a thrilling and deeply satisfying read that asks questions that will resonate with readers seeking meaning in an utterly disorienting age.

Genevieve Mattar and Kevin Branscum met in South America while exploring the Andes ruins and the Amazon forests. He was an American seeking adventure, and she was a travel guide leading a group of French Canadians. The couple soon married and as Kevin was a Southern Californian and seasoned Baja traveler, they began exploring the remote regions of Baja Sur. They became interested in the old mission trail while visiting the Sierra de San Francisco rock art. One day on a mule ride, they came across a track that looked different from the one they were following. They asked their local guide about it. He replied, “That is the old mission trail, el camino antiguo de los misioneros.” El Camino Real. The El Camino Real, or “King's Highway,” is the mission trail leading from Loreto in Baja Súr, Mexico, to all Californias. They include Baja Súr, Baja, and Alta California, better known as the state of California. The mystery of that trail, combined with its history and the beauty of its surroundings, hooked them. For twenty-two years, they've regularly returned to explore El Camino Real, locating and accurately mapping additional trail segments. They hope to find and preserve the exact position of as much of the El Camino Real as possible. Only through sharing the story and developing eco-tourism --will the historic trail remain alive. Learn more about their work here.

In this archive edition of Slow Baja, we return to my 2020 conversation with professor Paul Ganster. I wanted to share this show again as I recently watched Isaac Artensteins's magnificent Journeys of Harry Crosby documentary. The Crosby film is available to stream on PBS here. Ganster began traveling to Mexico with his friend and former high school teacher, Harry Crosby, in the early 1960s. When Crosby landed his 1967 commission to photograph the El Camino Real, he asked Ganster, then a graduate student at UCLA, to make the trip with him. In retracing the original Portolá missionary expedition of 1769, Crosby and Ganster covered 600 grueling miles, mostly by mule. Ganster took trail notes, made detailed drawings and maps, and shot scores of photographs. However, no job was more important than feeding the mules. Each evening, he would climb the palo verde trees and use a machete to hack off branches that the mules would crunch on loudly. The trip was a life-changing trip for both men. Crosby's photographs from the journey were published in The Call to California in 1969. He often returned to Baja to photograph cave paintings and study early life in Alta, California, and published several books on the subject. Baja figured prominently in Ganster's life as well. In his long academic career, he is an acknowledged expert on the U.S.-Mexico border region. Currently, he directs the Institute for Regional Studies of the Californias at San Diego State University. He's recently edited Loreto, Mexico: Challenges for a Sustainable Future (2020, SDSU Press) with Oscar Arizpe and Vinod Sasidharan. He and Arizpe, a professor at the Universidad A. de Baja California Sur, collaborated on two earlier projects examining Loreto's sustainability. Check out Paul Ganster's extensive writings here.

25-year-old John Rainwater and 22-year-old Lori Rainwater were a married couple just starting out. The couple had a 15-month-old daughter at home, and Lori had just got home from the hospital after delivering her son, who was just seven days old. The couple lived in Atascadero, CA and by all accounts, were a loving family with many friends. John and Lisa were Christians who managed an apartment complex at 8750 El Camino Real in Atascadero, a city with a population today of 29,000 and located in San Luis Obispo County. They worked hard to get their lives going and were excited about the future. The couple had a lifetime to look forward to, but one man changed all that on a chilly February morning in 1987.Join Jen and Cam on the 5th Annual Our True Crime Podcast's 12 Nightmares Before Christmas -Day 7:Blood Lust: The Rainwater Killings Listener Discretion by @octoberpodVHS All music is courtesy of our Executive Producer @wetalkofdreams

Focusing on the historic American Cemetery, this episode of Big Blend Radio's 3rd Tuesday "Go to Natchitoches" Show features Scotty Williams with the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and Northwest LA History Museum in downtown Natchitoches, Louisiana. Every first Friday, Scotty leads a free walking tour guide of the American Cemetery. Established around 1737, the cemetery is said to be the oldest cemetery in the Louisiana Purchase. Over the years, planters, businessman, politicians, and educators have all made their mark on Natchitoches and the surrounding area. The markers in the cemetery tell stories of the region's people and act as an outdoor museum dedicated to their legacy. Legend has it, that St. Denis, the town's founder, is buried somewhere on the grounds. Founded in 1714, Natchitoches is the original French Colony and oldest city in Louisiana. Home to the Cane River Creole National Historical Park, it is part of the Cane River National Heritage Area, and is the final destination on the El Camino Real de los Tejas National Historic Trail.

Welcome, you belong here. In this episode: FAQ is: How do I visit my family members in the military?  Today's Destination is: Sunnyvale, CA Today's Mistake- Losing my airline rewards Travel Advice:  Join my clubhouse rooms for travel tips   FAQ: Nadia asked, How do I visit my family members in the military? My son is graduating from military training and I want to see him in Korea. Are there any discounts I can tap into for travel?   Answer:  Depending on the training center location, and security screening you may be able to visit him. When you do visit, you may want to check out some of the military benefits and see if they apply to family members, such as shopping in the commisary or other attractions.  It's possible that you can ask the airlines for assistance in this, because they have likely had this question answered also. This question was from a recent clubhouse room. I'll mention Clubhouse at the end of the podcast again. Today's destination: Sunnyvale, California   You'll find Sunnyvale in the Santa Clara Valley in northwest Santa Clara County, California. It's located along the famous Highway 101 and El Camino Real. San Jose borders to the north. Mountain View is Northwest and Los Altos is southwest. Cupertino is to the south. Santa Clara, home of the Mission and University was reviewed in episode 160 and is located to the east. The population is about 150,000, which is next to San Jose, the second most populous city in the county.  It's part of Silicon Valley. It's the birthplace of the video game industry, where Atari was founded.  https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/ https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/recreation-and-community/community-centers/senior-center https://www.sunnyvale.ca.gov/recreation-and-community/parks-and-trails/baylands-park https://heritageparkmuseum.org/ Here are a few suggestions for Sunnyvale. Heritage Park Museum is open three days a week and does not charge admission.  There is also pottery and other activities at the local community center. The senior center may be of interest to you, so look in the show notes for these and other links.  Consider visiting Baylands Park for hiking or picnics.  Sunnyvale was known for having orchards and some still remain here. But most notably lately it is known as the home of several tech giants. The big industry here is the technology and information headquarters of many computer tech companies. Some of these large firms started here in garages and in high schools. Google, Apple, Facebook, now Meta and others have a presence here. Venture-capital seems to be flowing through the water. Sunnyvale is known for the home of many future technology projects.  In Mountain View, you'll find the Computer History Museum, open Wed-Sun. https://computerhistory.org/   I visited Sunnyvale several times over the past 40 years living in California and most recently in January 2022 and stayed with my cousin, Jane Halligan. I flew into San Jose airport, rented a car and explored the area with several local residents to get insights to guide you to the best travel activities. Jane and I walked around an area that is reserved for seniors and community minded individuals and around what remains of the orchard groves.    Do - Visit the Community Center and Museum. Go hiking and visit the Senior Center. Don't - Get stuck in traffic on the freeways if possible.  Today's Mistake - Losing my airline rewards I've lost more airline points than I'd like to admit. It's probably hundreds of thousands of miles that were not recovered over 50 years of traveling solo. I've had special status on several airlines that no longer exist and I never did follow up to find out where my points went. I assume they just disappeared. Now, my credit card gives me rewards that I can turn into cash, no matter what airline I travel on. I would like to keep my points on dozens of airlines that I fly, but it seems that to do so requires a lot of extra work that doesn't add up. My advice is to keep track of your rewards better than I do. You can make them work for you. Today's Travel Advice-Join my clubhouse rooms for travel tips. No makeup needed.
