Straddling Two Words: Biracial Identity in "Flight

2018

During the 1950’s, the largest migration of Puerto Rican citizens to the United States, specifically New York, took place. Shortly after that, issues of identity started taking place, with a language, cultural and geographical divide separating island-born Puerto Ricans from Puerto Ricans born in the United States and “Newyoricans”. In his article “Nation, Migration, Identity: The Case of Puerto Ricans,” Jorge Duany argues that even after taking part of transnational migrations, there is a resilience of the Puerto Rican identity which manifests itself in the growing split between political and cultural nationalism. This paper will explore how Edgardo Miranda-Rodríguez’s La Borinqueña’s superheroic prodigal body works in dual ways as the culmination of the diaspora. The daughter of Puerto Rican migrants, Marisol Ríos de la Luz is the result of the diasporic American dream in two separate ways. Marisol is the fulfillment of the American Dream, of moving to the diaspora in search of a ...

The pattern was printed on a weird brown paper, folded too many times, hiding a secret code I never really ended up deciphering. I googled the meaning of “interfacing” and watched other people in YouTube videos lay out their patterns and cut fabric.

Except, I had never used a needle and thread before, so I had to teach myself via google searches and instructional videos. We ended up finishing the costumes in our hot...

Diversity in an organization can be a symbol of how seriously it approaches inclusivity, pluralism, and commitment to balancing multiple viewpoints and, as such, can be a sign of the health and vitality of a group. Such diversity takes many forms, including racial and ethnic diversity, gender diversity, and even regional and geographic diversity. The issue of racial and ethic diversity, however, is one of crucial interest for the Music Library Association (MLA) because it is an area where the organization traditionally lags behind peer organizations and the profession in general. MLA has a long history of commitment to inclusivity in its membership, but data show that this commitment rarely extends, in practice, to the creation or growth of a racially and ethnically diverse organization. A summary from MLA's Working Group Surveying Music Library Personnel Characteristics in 1999 provides a grim portrait of diversity, with 93% of members reporting European/Anglo American heritage, with the rest of the membership divided between Asian/Asian American heritage (3%), Hispanic/Hispanic heritage (1%) and Native American heritage (1%), and no members indicating that they were of

DevOps is a quick path to disillusioned, as there are no "DevOps" tools, per se. The combination of cultural changes, information de-siloing, and tooling implemented along way is what enables an organization to recognize ROI from DevOps.
