Mexicans & Illinois Railroads - Early 20th centurySal Valadez
This document discusses the history of Mexican immigration to Illinois in the early 20th century. It summarizes that many Mexicans came to work on railroads after events like the Mexican Revolution and World War I reduced the American workforce. They often lived in boxcar communities with their families due to lack of housing. The document presents stories of individual Mexican families who immigrated to Illinois towns like Eola and Bloomington to work on railroads. It stresses the urgency of conducting oral histories to preserve the stories of these families before they are lost to time.
This document provides summaries and analysis of several short stories and essays about the Mexican American experience. It discusses Cristina Garcia's collection of short stories "Bordering Fires" which explores themes of language, border crossings, and family experiences. It also summarizes and analyzes Gloria Anzaldua's essay "How to Tame a Wild Tongue" about maintaining Spanish language and dialects. Additionally, it summarizes Richard Rodriguez's "India" about racial classifications of Mexican Americans and a story by Rudolfo Anaya about following a story involving gold and a cursed man. The document concludes with brief summaries of "Never Marry a Mexican" by Sandra Cineros about infidelity and Mexican culture,
Casteneda Historiogrpahy Of Women Mexican Californialafenix
This article analyzes how early histories of frontier California portrayed Spanish-Mexican women through the lens of contemporary racial, gender, and cultural biases. Popular histories from the late 19th century reflected ideologies that viewed Mexicans as racially and culturally inferior and women as sexually inferior. These histories propagated stereotypes of Spanish-Mexican women that portrayed them in a negative light and judged their behaviors based on Anglo-American gender norms. More recent scholarship has challenged these earlier perspectives but has yet to develop a fully integrated interpretation of the roles of sex, gender, race and culture.
Engendering the History of Alta Californiasmacedo372
This article analyzes the role of Native American and Mestiza women in Alta California between 1769-1848 during the Spanish and Mexican periods. It discusses how indigenous women used their sexuality and influence to both withstand and shape the society around them, despite facing violence and sexual attacks from early Spanish settlers who viewed Native American gender roles and sexuality differently. The article also examines how women navigated their roles within the Spanish mission system and later under Mexican rule as marriages became more economically and politically motivated. Overall, the article provides insight into early California history from the perspective of minority women.
The document discusses the experiences and identities of Afrolatinos or Black Hispanics. It provides perspectives from Afrolatinos who have struggled with their racial identity when their accent did not match their appearance. It also discusses the invisibility and denial of Afro-Latino identities and populations in countries like Cuba, Argentina, and Nicaragua. Some sections debate whether racism exists in Latin American countries and compare experiences of discrimination faced by Afrolatinos to what African Americans faced historically in the U.S.
Application software, also called apps, are computer programs designed to help users perform tasks. There are many types of apps including office suites, graphics software, media players, and enterprise or accounting programs. Apps may come pre-installed on a computer or be downloaded separately. Application software contrasts with system software, which manages the computer's capabilities without directly applying them, and middleware, which integrates the computer's capabilities. Application software applies the power of a computing platform to a specific purpose, with some apps available on multiple platforms and others only available for certain systems like Windows or Android. Popular apps that only run on one platform can increase demand for that platform.
The document discusses 7 questions that every business must answer about its brand core: 1) What is the business? 2) Who is the target audience? 3) Who is the real competition? 4) What is the brand's core promise? 5) What is the brand's personality? 6) How is the brand positioned in customers' minds? 7) What are the brand's goals? Answering these 7 questions provides clarity about the brand and paves the road forward.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

3. Artist’s Statement
This painting entitled Dreams and Life on the Prairie/Suenos y Vida en la Llanura was ―commissioned‖ by
my husband Sal Valadez to represent the project and discussion. Sal told me of images he had in mind, what
he envisioned the piece to portray and then trusted I would use my talents as a painter and my experience as a
member of my Mexican family to tell a story through art.
I took the information Sal offered into consideration as well as memories of his father and mother telling their
story of how they came to the United States, and the many stories I have heard from others who came here
for a better life.
The sky, with the sun setting and twilight approaching is representative of dreams; dreams of better things to
come, dreams that family will be reunited. The train - Alton Railroad’s Abraham Lincoln (circa 1930’s) -
represents those that worked for the railroads.
The corn is a familiar and important image of both McLean County and Mexico. The man, a worker, is seen
with a photo of family in his pocket, family he hopes can join him soon.
I wanted to show only half of his face, but I could not articulate why. Dr. Maura Toro-Morn did that for me
when she first viewed the work. ―It is allegorical, many who came here, left part of themselves and their lives
behind.‖ Maura, gave me the words for what I as an artist tried to project, but did not have the personal
experience to say.
It was an extreme honor to be asked to do the piece for my husband and for the McLean County History
Museum’s Latino History Project to use the image.

6. The people that we know as ―Latino‖
today, began arriving in McLean County in the
1870’s.
The first arrivals were of Spanish and Portuguese descent.
The earliest record is an entry in the 1880 U.S, Census.
The ―record‖ tells stories of hardship, struggles and
sometimes, of untimely death.
It is a story of hope and dreams.
And for many, it is a story of ―becoming‖ American.
