Fabian Gonzalez, Arquitecto nos comenta: "La ciudad es un espacio de aprendizaje, que existe cuando se empieza a construir en la memoria. En cada esquina hay un recuerdo, una vivencia, un imaginario y un mito que le da sentido de Lugar al ardiente asfalto alajuelense. El Arquitecto Gerald Muñoz descifra los secretos para que la memoria siga en pie, a pesar de los zarpazos de la ignorancia. Su amigo Gregory Fage sigue la herencia de su padre, el mítico Tony Fage, mientras anda en búsqueda del mito. En fin, constructores de patrimonio." Podcast dedicado al patrimonio arquitectónico costarricense y la importancia de su conservación. En este programa, exploraremos la rica historia y diversidad de los edificios antiguos y monumentos en Costa Rica y su importancia cultural y social en la vida cotidiana. Pero lamentablemente, muchos de estos edificios centenarios han sido abandonados y terminan siendo demolidos o convertidos en parqueos, perdiéndose así una parte fundamental de nuestra historia y patrimonio. En este podcast, hablaremos de la necesidad de concientizar a la población sobre la importancia de la preservación de nuestro legado arquitectónico, y de las estrategias que se pueden implementar para evitar la destrucción de estos edificios. Tendremos invitados especiales que nos contarán sobre sus propias experiencias en la conservación de edificios antiguos y cómo se pueden restaurar y mantener para su uso actual. También exploraremos casos exitosos de restauración y reutilización de edificios patrimoniales en otras partes del mundo y cómo estas ideas pueden ser adaptadas en Costa Rica. Este podcast es una llamada a la acción para todos aquellos interesados en la preservación de nuestro patrimonio arquitectónico y cultural. Escúchanos y únete a nuestra causa para proteger y mantener vivas las raíces de nuestro legado arquitectónico costarricense. El término "Pachuco" se originó en los años 40 en la comunidad chicana de los Estados Unidos, específicamente en el área de Los Ángeles, California. Los Pachucos eran jóvenes de origen mexicano que se vestían con ropa extravagante y adoptaban un lenguaje y estilo de vida único. Aunque la subcultura del Pachuco se originó en Estados Unidos, también tuvo una influencia significativa en la cultura popular en algunos países de Latinoamérica, especialmente en México. En México, los Pachucos eran conocidos como "Cholos" y adoptaron un estilo similar al de los Pachucos de Estados Unidos, pero con algunas variaciones regionales. Un Pachuco típicamente se vestía con trajes zoot, que eran trajes de dos o tres piezas con chaquetas largas y pantalones holgados con doblez en la pierna, a menudo adornados con cadenas y broches brillantes. También usaban sombreros fedora, zapatos de plataforma y pañuelos en el cuello. El lenguaje de los Pachucos también era distintivo y se caracterizaba por un argot o jerga que combinaba el inglés y el español, lo que a menudo resultaba en un lenguaje difícil de entender para los hablantes de español o inglés estándar. La subcultura Pachuca también estaba asociada con la música y el baile, especialmente el swing y el jazz. Los Pachucos tenían su propio estilo de baile, conocido como "pachuquear", que combinaba movimientos fluidos y elegantes con un estilo de baile improvisado y enérgico.

Los Angeles, California, 1942. En pleno verano, en Sleepy Lagoon (East LA), asesinan a Jose Diaz y los medios se aprovechan para culpar a un grupo de jovenes: los Mexico-Americanos elegantemente vestidos en "Zoot Suits", los famosos "Pachucos". Este voluminoso vestimento era una ofensa para todo quien se consideraba un patriota, ya que muchos materiales (como la lana y la seda) estaban en escasez, estallo una serie de encuentros violentos que pusieron en peligro a toda una generacion de Mexicanos.

If you've ever eaten Flavor-Crisp Chicken, it was probably served with JoJo potatoes. And speaking of fried chicken, ever wonder why colonel isn't pronounced "KOH-loh-nell"? Grant and Martha have the answers to those nagging little questions, like the difference between a turnpike and a highway, and the rules on me versus I. Who's behind those eponyms in anatomy, and why are doctors phasing them out? Plus, a newsy limerick challenge, dog breed mashups, pallets, a little Spanglish, and a list of -ologies to fill a whole course catalog!FULL DETAILSWhat's your favorite -ology? Perhaps alethiology, the study of truth, from the Greek alethia? Theologians might concern themselves with naology, the study of holy buildings.http://phrontistery.info/sciences.html What are JoJo potatoes? Starting in the 1960s, fried potato wedges came to be known as JoJos, especially in the Northern states. JoJos were often served in restaurants that also made Flavor-Crisp Chicken, which requires a special type of deep fat fryer. JoJos are simply unpeeled potato wedges thrown in the fryer, but the name may derive from the idea of "junk," because the potato scraps were considered worthless until restaurateurs realized they could be marketed and sold.http://www.barrypopik.com/index.php/new_york_city/entry/jo_jo_potatoes_jojo_potatoes/http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=563558We'll keep this short: Perissology is the superfluity of words. Why is colonel pronounced like "kernel"? The original form comes from Italy, where a colonello was in charge of a column of soldiers. As it moved from Italian to French, it took on an r sound, but the English translators reverted to the more etymologically correct Italian spelling. That's why it looks one way but sounds another. What do you get when you mix a Shelty and a Cocker? A Shocker! Or how about a Dachshund and a Border Collie? That'd make it a Dashboard.

What's been "occupied?" How long did the Kardashian marriage last? And who made ambiguous the definition of the word "winning"?A thick blanket or stack of blankets is also called a pallet. The Dictionary of American Regional English says this term is most common in the South Midlands--such states as Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri. In the New American Standard Translation of the Bible (John 5:8) Jesus says to a man who's been incapacitated for nearly 40 years, "pick up your pallet and walk." The term actually comes from French, where a pallet was a thick, woven mat of hay to lie on.The usage of the word me vs. I will always be a point of debate. Grant and Martha contend that language works in the service of culture, and thus, there will always be informal settings where the words me and I are slung around interchangeably. Then again, there will also be classrooms, job interviews and the like, where my colleague and I completed the project is the better choice than me and my colleague completed the project. Aesthetes might go for kalology, or "the study of beauty."What's the difference between a turnpike and a highway? In the 1700s, privately funded roads were constructed in the Northeast to connect commercial centers, but tolls were charged in order to pay for the wood planks that covered the road; this was well before gravel or pavement came about. A turnpike itself is the bar on a turnstile, much like you'd see in a subway station or an amusement park; one pays the toll, then moves through the turnpike. On the other hand, freeways were the dirt roads that didn't require a toll.Anatomy is full of eponyms--that is, names inspired by the name of a person. In this case, there are the fallopian tubes, the Achilles heel, and the eustachian tubes. But there's a movement in anatomy to replace eponyms with more scientific, descriptive names. Thus, fallopian tubes are now uterine tubes, and eustachian tubes are auditory tubes.The Spanglish term frajo, meaning "cigarette," evolved over a couple of generations of Mexican-American language. Primarily thanks to Pachucos, sometimes known as Zoot Suiters, the term developed from the verb fajar, meaning "to wrap up or roll." A flock of starlings is called a murmuration, and a beautiful video of a murmuration of starlings flying about has been described by Martha as "nature's ornithological lava lamp."http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/11/starling-flock/If you're looking for a clever way to straddle the glass-half-empty line, try using litotes, or understated slights turned positive. For example, the guy you met for a blind date was really not unattractive.http://www.poetryfoundation.org/learning/glossary-term/LitotesIf you're into fungus among us, you might enjoy uredinology, the study of rust molds.Why do we refer to people of questionable sanity as nuts, nutty, or nut-cases? In the early 1600s, a nut was considered something "pleasing" or "delightful." Its meaning then transferred to someone who liked something pleasing, and then someone obsessed with that thing to the point of eccentricity or weirdness. Zymology? That's the study of joining or fastening.....Support for A Way with Words comes from National University, which invites you to change your future today.
