No full textCryptodacus bernardoi Rodriguez & Rodriguez, new species Figs. 1, 2, 5 –8, 14, 15, 19, 22, 23, 28 –31, 38– 42 Diagnosis. Modified couplets to the latter are provided to include C. bernardoi. It differs from all other species of Cryptodacus in the strongly sinuous shapes of the apical section of vein R 4 + 5 and crossvein dm-m. It differs from all other species except C. obliquus Hendel in lacking brown markings on the face; from all other species except C. trinotatus by the form of the sublateral postsutural vitta on the scutum, which is almost complete, but interrupted anterior to the intra-alar seta; and from other species except C. tau (Foote) by the entirely yellow abdominal syntergite 1 + 2 (Figs. 22, 23). Other useful diagnostic characters include: gena (Figs. 5, 6,) entirely yellow; posterior side of head yellow except lateral occipital sclerite with elongate brown spot; scutellum with base brown, brown area extended to basal scutellar seta; wing (Fig. 19) cell dm with basal and apical hyaline areas, discal band covering posterior part of crossvein dm-m, middle of dm-m without brown border; abdominal tergites 3–4 with broad brown bands, that on tergite 5 sometimes narrowly divided into 3 parts; oviscape yellow (Figs. 1, 20); aculeus tip with large serrations (Figs. 28–30). Description. Length 4.8 –5.0 mm. Mesonotum length 1.5–1.7 mm. Wing length 3.2–3.5 mm, width 1.3–1.5 mm, length/width ratio: 2.3. Measurements made on holotype female and one paratype male.

Cryptodacus bernardoi is known only from Colombia in Cundinamarca department in the municipios of Anolaima and Guaduas at middle altitudes on the west side of the eastern cordillera. Host plant. Three of the paratypes were reared from tiny fruits of Phoradendron sp. near piperoides (Kunth) Trel. (Figs. 43, 44), which was found parasitizing the upper part of a Psidium guajava L. shrub. This host plant is locally known by the common names “muérdago”, “matapalo”, “injerto” and “pajarito”. Phoradendron is variously classified in the Santalaceae or Viscaceae. The only previous host data for Cryptodacus was the single record of C. silvai Lima from fruit of “herva de passarinho” (Loranthus sp.) from southern Brazil (Lima 1947). The Loranthaceae, Santalaceae (and Viscaceae, when recognized as distinct from Santalaceae) belong to the order Santalales, many of which are parasitic plants. Etymology. This species is named for José Bernardo Rodríguez, father of the senior author. Comments. This species runs with difficulty in the keys of Norrbom (1994) and Norrbom & Korytkowski (2008). C. bernardoi may be most closely related to C. lopezi Norrbom, which has a similar aculeus, or it may belong to a clade along with that species and C. tau and trinotatus. The abdominal pattern is intermediate between those species, which have a distinct medial brown vitta or pair of vittae bordered by white or yellow sublateral areas on at least tergite 5 and female tergite 6, and the predominantly brown pattern in other species. In C. bernardoi the bands on tergites 4–5 in the male and 5–6 in the female may be interrupted. These four species also have the head mostly or entirely yellow posteriorly. The males were described only for C. bernardoi, C. obliquus, C. parkeri and C. tau.Published as part of Rodriguez, Pedro Alexander, Rodriguez, Erick J., Norrbom, Allen L. & Arévalo, Emilio, 2016, A new species and new records of Cryptodacus (Diptera: Tephritidae) from Colombia, Bolivia and Peru, pp. 276-290 in Zootaxa 4111 (3) on pages 277-279, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4111.3.5, http://zenodo.org/record/26487

Oral History Interview with Victor Rodriguez, June 13-18, 2009
No full textInterview with Dr. Victor Rodriguez, educator and author of the memoir "The Bell Ringer," about his life and career. Dr. Rodriguez is a North Texas alumni, member of the UNT Athletic Hall of fame, member of the Geezles Fraternity, and pioneer Mexican American educator. Dr. Victor Rodriguez spotlights significant insights into his storied career through five eras: his early all-Hispanic elementary school training; his continued study and budding athletic prowess in the Edna, TX, school district; his Victoria Junior College athletic achievements and learning; his higher education, Geezle membership, and track accomplishments at North Texas State College; and his 37-year career as a teacher, coach, and superintendent in the San Antonio school district. Inspired by his Anglo third-grade teacher in an all-Hispanic school in Edna, TX, Rodriguez responded to his teacher's challenge to be a civic contributor by becoming a daily bell ringer at the local Catholic church (described in detail in his book, The Bell Ringer), a job requiring him to arise at 4:30 each morning and to run two miles one way amid nipping dogs to ring the bell. This discipline and activity would tap his athletic ability later as he surfaced as a distance district winner despite running barefoot, in blue jeans, and in an oversized t-shirt. From this beginning, he would emerge as a state champion and win a track scholarship to Victoria Junior College where he would win the national junior college title; that accomplishment would earn him track scholarship offers from many top-level four-year college programs of which he selected North Texas State College to continue his running and educational pursuits. While at NTSC, he joined the Geezle Fraternity and captured attributes of group cohesion, solidarity, and mutual benefit/trust. On the cinder track, his talents earned him gold medals in national events such as the Kansas and Drake Relays. After college and military service, Victor joined the San Antonio ISD to begin a 37-year career journey, first as a classroom teacher for bilingual children, then to increasing levels of responsibility as coach, teacher, principal, area coordinator, climaxing at the pinnacle of leadership as superintendent for the district. Along the way, he earned a PhD from the University of Texas-Austin and a year-long fellowship at Yale

El hombre de mi vida: análisis de la traducción de los culturemas del ámbito gastronómico
No full textEs opinión compartida que en la producción de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán (MVM) la gastronomía es un elemento narrativo importante y el conjunto de su obra lo demuestra sobradamente. El polifacético autor barcelonés (Barcelona, 1939-Bangkok, 2003) concibe la gastronomía en un sentido amplio como el “arte de preparar y apreciar una buena comida” (2002: 51), así pues no sólo la afición a comer bien, sino también la capacidad de seleccionar los mejores ingredientes, prepararlos y servirlos.
Atendiendo a las reflexiones de Newmark (2004: 137) sobre la traducción de las ‘palabras culturales’ en el ámbito de la cultura material, la comida, como subraya este autor, “es para muchos la expresión más delicada e importante de la cultura nacional”, en consecuencia, “los términos alimentarios están expuestos a la gama más variada de procedimientos de traducción”.
Nosotros, en este artículo, que se plantea como continuación ideal de uno anterior donde habíamos centrado nuestro análisis en la identificación y catalogación de las diferentes soluciones traductoras adoptadas para trasladar los culturemas del ámbito gastronómico presentes en La soledad del manager, nos proponemos, en primer lugar, al igual que en el precedente, identificar el método traductor empleado sirviéndonos, en parte, de los datos que nos proporcione el inventario recopilatorio de las técnicas de traducción utilizadas en el texto meta (TM).
En segundo lugar, mediante la comparación y evaluación de las técnicas translativas utilizadas en cada novela, trataremos de determinar si efectivamente, como es lógico pensar, se ha producido una evolución en el tiempo del método traductor adoptado.
El presupuesto del que partimos es el de que las áreas culturales no actúan como depósitos perennemente estancos. Porque es evidente que tanto el contexto de recepción de la traducción como el del texto original evolucionan, cambian. Así pues, a nuestro modo de ver, visto el éxito y el número de traducciones de este autor al italiano, consideramos que el grado de familiaridad del lector italiano con la cultura española-catalana y con la obra de Vázquez Montalbán en el año 2000, año de publicación de L’uomo della mia vita, era probablemente mayor que en 1993, año en el que ve la luz en Italia La solitudine del manager

Palabras para una pandemia. Algunas notas sobre las creaciones neológicas utilizadas para comunicar la enfermedad por coronavirus SARS-CoV-2
No full textEl 13 de marzo de 2020, ante la propagación en España del coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, el presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, dio una rueda de prensa en la que anunciaba que al día siguiente se celebraría un Consejo de Ministros extraordinario para decretar el Estado de Alarma en todo el país durante los siguientes 15 días. Así pues, con el objetivo de frenar el aumento de contagios, la población española se confinó en su casa el domingo 15 de marzo de 2020. A decir verdad, sucesivamente el Gobierno pidió seis prórrogas, de modo que el confinamiento se ha mantenido durante 98 días, desde el 15 de marzo hasta el 21 de junio. Por fin, después de casi cien días de bloqueo y miles de fallecidos por la enfermedad denominada COVID-19, el pasado 21 de junio cuando el reloj marcó las 00.00 horas, España salió del estado de alarma para dar paso a la nueva normalidad, una denominación que se ha erigido en un sintagma clave en el discurso político, una muletilla léxica utilizada para referirse a la nueva realidad provocada por la covid-19, porque, parafraseando a Monterroso, desafortunadamente el nuevo coronavirus todavía está ahí. En este extraño periodo, a medida que el SARS-CoV-2 ha ido avanzando, algo que todos los ciudadanos hemos podido comprobar es la importancia de los medios de comunicación para acceder a información especializada e incluso para compartir opiniones. Efectivamente, la existencia de medios sólidos e independientes, capaces de investigar y criticar las acciones de la administración pública han permitido a la población informarse de manera fidedigna sobre lo que estaba y está sucediendo. En este sentido, hay que reconocer que la prensa está desarrollando un rol clave en la correcta difusión de las noticias sobre la pandemia. Por otra parte, no cabe duda de que, como sostenía María Moliner, los periódicos son el instrumento ineludible para agarrar al vuelo todas las palabras de la vida, “porque allí viene el idioma vivo, el que se está usando, las palabras que tienen que inventarse al momento por necesidad” (citado en García Márquez, 1981) . Así pues, teniendo en cuenta el servicio inestimable que la prensa ha prestado y está prestando en el contexto de esta crisis, en las líneas que siguen, utilizando como corpus de detección el diario nacional El País y sus Suplementos (del 1 de febrero al 5 de agosto de 2020, tanto en soporte impreso como digital), primero, identificaremos las palabra más utilizadas para definir y caracterizar la actual crisis sanitaria. A continuación, partiendo del principio de que toda lengua viva crea palabras nuevas para designar realidades nuevas (Guerrero Ramos 1997: 11), ilustraremos cuáles son los principales neologismos surgidos a raíz de la actual pandemia
