History of the

Rosca de Reyes Who takes out the doll, which represents the baby Jesus, forces them to invite tamales for all the guests to the celebration of Candlemas Day on February 2.

Every January 6, after the visit of the Magi, the essential element is the thread. It is a tradition that has been deeply rooted among Mexican society, however, its origin is registered in Europe and is, as with other celebrations, deeply religious.

The thread symbolizes a biblical passage known as Epiphany, in which the Magi met the child God. According to Christian beliefs, its oval shape

Historia de la Rosca de Reyes Quién saca el muñeco, que representa al niño Jesús, les obliga a invitar tamales para todos los invitados a la celebración del Día de la Candelaria el 2 de febrero.

Cada 6 de enero, luego de la visita de los Reyes Magos, el elemento imprescindible es la rosca. Se trata de una tradición que se ha arraigado de forma profunda entre la sociedad mexicana, sin embargo, su origen se registra en Europa y es, como ocurre con otras celebraciones decembrinas, profundamente religioso.

La rosca simboliza un pasaje bíblico conocido como Epifanía, en el que los Reyes Magos se encontraron con el niño Dios. Según las creencias cristianas, su forma ovalada representa al infinito del amor que se profesa a Dios.

Otra interpretación de esta forma circular se atribuye a su similitud con las coronas de los Reyes Magos.

la gente tenía la costumbre —considerada pagana por la Iglesia— de elegir un rey para las fiestas. El proceso de elección era sencillo: se escondía un haba en una rosca de pan dulce adornada con azúcar y frutas. Quien la encontrara era proclamado, de manera simbólica, como rey.

El haba oculta simbolizaba la huida de José y María para esconder a Jesús, porque el rey Herodes —según se cuenta en el Evangelio de Mateo— había ordenado el asesinato de todos los niños menores de dos años.

Se desconoce a partir de cuándo se empezó a esconder dentro de la rosca un muñeco de porcelana, pero las leyendas urbanas cuentan que algunas personas han sido capaces de tragarse la figurilla para eludir el compromiso que dicta la tradición y que da paso a la celebración del Día de la Candelaria, donde los padrinos confeccionan un ropón al niño Jesús, lo visten de gala y regalan La tradición de partir la a los comensales atole y Rosca de Reyes surgió en tamales el 2 de febrero.

Facts about Whales • There are several species of whales, but they are classified, according to the way they feed, in two types, b e ard e d w ha l es a n d jagged whales.

• Bearded whales feed on krill and plankton. Krill is similar to a shrimp, they are very important ocean creatures.

• Serrated whales eat several types of fish, such as tuna, cod, salmon, among others, and some small mammals such as seals.

• The blue whale is the largest animal in the world. Even more, it is the largest animal that ever existed, even larger than the largest dinosaur ever found.

The blue whale is a bearded whale.

• Some whales sing. In particular, blue whales and humpback whales are known for their singing.

• Whales can swim as fast as 30 miles per hour.

• Whales do not sleep like us. For rest, the whales sleep with only half of the brain so they remember to take a breath, otherwise they would drown.

Because of their magnitude, these whales dive deep into the sea, so you may have to wait to see them, but when they get to breathe it becomes an unusual spectacle (that can happen even very close to the ship). A glass bottom boat tour can give them a better appearance.

Certifications General Health Council

Joint Commission International

The objective of the National System of Certification of Medical Care Establishments (SiNaCEAM) is to contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of medical care and safety services provided to patients, in addition to encouraging the participating institutions to maintain competitive advantages to reach, sustain and improve its position in the environment.

The accreditation of Joint Commission International (JCI) is the most recognized certification of hospital services at the international level and of greater seniority. This process reflects the commitment to excellence in patient safety and care, and serves to recognize that health care services fall short of the most important international practices.

In this context, the Certification of Health Care Establishments is the process by which the General Health Council recognizes health care facilities, which participate voluntarily and meet the necessary standards to provide good quality services in medical care and patient safety.

The standards used for the Certification are born from the collaboration with the Joint Commission International®, which allowed the CSG criteria to be homologated with the standards of this organization to focus on patient safety and give medical care facilities in Mexico a certification of high competitive level and with international recognition. This collaboration was achieved with the support of the National Association of Private Hospitals.

While accreditation helps demonstrate an organization’s overall commitment to quality, certification in turn demonstrates excellence in specific areas by promoting better results by integrating and coordinating care.

The standards evaluated by the accreditation of Joint Commission International provide significant measurements to improve the quality and safety of the patient in all clinical and administrative functions of the Intensive Care Hospital, as well as to adopt continuous improvements in performance.

This accreditation has a maximum period of three years, when the Institution demonstrates the high levels of patient safety and care.

Consejo de Salubridad General

Joint Commission International

El objetivo del Sistema Nacional de Certificación de Establecimientos de Atención Médica (SiNaCEAM) es coadyuvar en la mejora continua de la calidad de los servicios de atención médica y de la seguridad que se brinda a los pacientes, además de impulsar a las instituciones participantes a mantener ventajas competitivas para alcanzar, sostener y mejorar su posición en el entorno.

La acreditación de Joint Commission International (JCI) es la certificación de servicios hospitalarios más reconocida a nivel internacional y de mayor antigüedad.

Este proceso refleja el compromiso con la excelencia en la seguridad y la atención de pacientes, y sirve para reconocer que los servicios de atención de salud están a la altura de las prácticas internacionales más importantes.

En este contexto, la Certificación de Establecimientos de Atención Médica es el proceso mediante el cual el Consejo de Salubridad General reconoce a los establecimientos de atención médica, que participan de manera voluntaria y cumplen los estándares necesarios para brindar servicios con buena calidad en la atención médica y seguridad a los pacientes.

Los estándares utilizados para la Certificación, nacen de la colaboración con Joint Commission International®, lo cual permitió homologar los criterios del CSG con los estándares de esta organización para enforcarlos en la seguridad del paciente y darles a los establecimientos de atención médica en México una certificación de alto nivel competitivo y con reconocimiento internacional. Esta colaboración se logró con el apoyo de la Asociación Nacional de Hospitales Privados.

Mientras que la acreditación ayuda a demostrar el compromiso general de una organización con la calidad, la certificación a su vez demuestra excelencia en áreas específicas al promover mejores resultados mediante la integración y la coordinación de la atención.

Los estándares evaluados por la acreditación de Joint Commission International proporcionan mediciones significativas para mejorar la calidad y la seguridad del paciente en todas las funciones clínicas y administrativas del Hospital de cuidados intensivos, así como también para adoptar continuas mejoras en el desempeño.

Esta acreditación tiene un periodo máximo de tres años, cuando la Institución demuestra los altos niveles de seguridad y atención de pacientes.

History of cochinita pibil Cochinita, like Mexico, is a melting pot that brings together the influence of different cultures to give rise to a unique dish. This Yucatecan food, as we now know it, originated from the Conquest. Previously, the Maya baked under the ground the meat of wild boar, deer or pheasant marinated with achiote.

When Europeans arrive in America they bring pork, one of the important ingredients of this Mexican recipe. Thus the magic arose ...

The taste of cochinita pibil has been around the world and has its own crush on foreigners. What makes it so special? First, its peculiar method of preparation that is still carried out in the towns of Yucatán. The term pib refers to a pre-Hispanic technique that involves wrapping the dishes with banana leaves and baking them underground. The mucbil chicken, the typical

meal of the day of the dead, was also originally cooked with this technique.

Recipe of the traditional Cochinita Pibil Ingredients • 1 1/2 kg of pork leg • 1/2 kilo of pork tenderloin with rib • 200 gr of Achiote La Anita • 4 large banana leaves • 2 cups sour orange • 125 gr of melted lard • 1/2 cup white vinegar • 3 ground garlic cloves • 1 teaspoon cumin powder • 1 teaspoon black pepper • 1 teaspoon white pepper • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 teaspoon oregano • 5 pearls of ground pepper Process 1. Dilute the achiote in sour orange juice and vinegar.

Once ready add salt, black pepper, garlic and other spices.

5. Line the container that will go in the oven with the banana leaves and let them stand out and then wrap the meat.

Verify that everything is perfectly covered.

6. Place the marinated meat in the bowl with

the banana leaves and bathe it with the melted butter.

7. Cover the meat by folding the ends of the leaves, sprinkle some water to prevent the meat from burning and cover it with foil.

8. Bake for two hours and remove when the meat is tender, that is, until it almost breaks down, if not, bake 30 minutes more.

9. Once ready, serve, accompany with purple onion, beans and habanero chili sauce to taste.

Historia de la cochinita pibil La cochinita pibil, a través de sus ingredientes e inigualable sabor, cuenta la historia de su origen. Y es que las recetas de comida mexicana son una ventana para echar un vistazo a la cultura y tradición de su pueblo. Sigue leyendo para conocer la fascinante historia de la cochinita pibil. Entérate por qué es considerada un auténtico tesoro de la comida yucateca.

El sabor de la cochinita pibil le ha dado la vuelta al mundo y tiene enamorados a propios y extranjeros. ¿Qué la hace tan especial? En primer lugar, su peculiar método de preparación que aún se realiza en los pueblos de Yucatán. El término pib se refiere a una técnica prehispánica que consiste en envolver los platillos con hojas de plátano y hornearlos bajo tierra. El mucbil pollo o pib, la comida típica del día de muertos, también se cocinaba originalmente con esta técnica.

La cochinita pibil, un origen rico en cultura La cochinita, como el mismo México, es un crisol que reúne la influencia de distintas culturas para dar lugar a un platillo único. Esta comida yucateca, como ahora la conocemos,

se originó a partir de la Conquista.

Anteriomente los mayas horneaban bajo tierra la carne de jabalí, venado o faisán marinada con achiote. Cuando los europeos arriban a América traen consigo la carne de cerdo, uno de los ingredientes importantes de esta receta mexicana. Así surgió la magia…

Para preparar la cochinita pibil son necesarios ingredientes que llegaron gracias a la colonización. Por ejemplo, la naranja agria, imprescindible en la comida yucateca, es un fruto que trajeron los europeos. Sirve para marinar la carne, diluir el achiote, se usa en salsas de chile habanero y para aderezar la cebolla morada. Bernal Díaz del Castillo, un conquistador de la Nueva España, anotó el proceso de sembrar este fruto en Tabasco. Se sorprendió al ver que la naranja se adaptó al clima y al poco tiempo el sureste ya estaba poblado de árboles de esta fruta.

Las especias como la canela, pimienta, ajo y clavo provienen de las lejanas tierras del oriente que llegaron a América en las embarcaciones. A pesar de la introducción de nuevos sabores, siempre se utilizaron los ingredientes

FOR THE ROADS OF

RULFO,

The silence that made legend By: Jorge Alfonso Sierra Quintero The road looks flawless in these first sections. I make efforts to imagine how it was then when Juan Rulfo’s father, with a shotgun in the back, was made to say goodbye to this world, still very young.

I go in search of part of the history of that man who, with only two small books he wrote, changed our existence forever, putting us to live in a world very different from the one we were transiting. And that he atoned for the pain of his father’s death, imagining perhaps the eternal and life-long suffering of the traitor who mansalva did, in that masterful tale in which he desperately cries, “Tell them not to kill me.”

jungle, as if the leaves and branches were hugging.

And a hard, heavy silence, no wind.

His writings, his voice, follow me in pieces.

Although the pain of not having met his father, “it is a difficult thing to grow up knowing that the thing where we can grab ourselves to take root is dead” - tortured him forever, Juan Rulfo seems to look at his painful history with an impartiality that moves.

In many ways he atones for the murderer of his

father, whom he calls “Juvencio Nava” and who was actually named José Guadalupe Nava, barely 20 years old and was characterized by “violent and quarrelsome.” “He had his reasons,” he tells the omniscient narrator in the named story. Although he was his friend, “Guadalupe Terreros”, the owner of “The Stone Door” does not allow his cattle to graze in his domains. And threatens him. The next time one of them does, he will sacrifice it. He had no alternative “Juvencio”.

That was.

The real story keeps a disturbing similarity with the story. Juan Rulfo’s father, Juan Nepomuceno Pérez Rulfo, known as “Cheno”, and who is “Guadalupe Terreros” in the narrative, without turning 34, was already the owner of large tracts of land which could not even define well , although it is known that he had inherited from his father the hacienda “San Pedro”.

But how did he acquire the others? What did he do to achieve it in such a short life? The narrations, the gossip, the explanations, the legend, the envies, the good languages ​​ and the viperinas intermingle and it is only possible to intuit the reality in the story.

After more than 2 hours of

traveling the 154 kilometers that separate it from Guadalajara, we arrive at San Gabriel, a quiet and peaceful town, where Juan Rulfo lived and made his first years of study at the Josefinas Mothers College.

A few blocks from the town square, on Calle Independencia, there is the house marked with number 8. On the outside, a plaque placed next to the main door says soberly and simply: “Juan Rulfo lived here “ The address is closed and it seems that nobody inhabits it. The few people

www.HealthinParadisemag.com

that I manage to address on the street, curiously have zero references from the writer, except for the occasional data like the one they gave me about housing.

We continue on our way to the “Telcampana” farm, which Juan Nepomuceno Pérez Rulfo did not reach and where they watched over him. The road then becomes rough. There is no pavement, only mud, very narrow spaces where a vehicle can barely pass. The hollows are everywhere. Time seems to slow down and I don’t want to imagine what it would be like in those times when they say that “Cheno” Pérez Rulfo didn’t get off the horse, day or night, touring and taking care of his properties.

Ruins that look like church towers are seen about 150 meters away. They are anticipated by fences that were once new. They are semicidal and it is noted that for some time the mountain and the herbs grow without anyone cutting or caring for them.

As I approach, loneliness and silence catch me, hug me. You can only hear the wind whistle, some branches of trees that are Suddenly, in one turn, we tired swaying and in the came across some 8 houses distance, lost in the field, a on the side and side of the barking dog. road, a street that seems to lead to another place and a Suddenly it seemed to solitude of human beings me that something had that amazes.

A stubborn and annoying drizzle has begun to accompany us. The mud makes the car skate. At times we came to think that we would never reach our destination. That this would be a journey that would never end because the sounds have disappeared and we all shut up as if we were going straight to the end of the world.

but he didn’t realize when he died or why he died. He was killed and for him life is over. It continued to exist for others and gradually the world calmed down.

They shrouded him as if he had been any man and buried him underground as is done with all men.

They told us: “Your father is dead”, in that hour of awakening, when things don’t hurt; when children are born, when they kill those sentenced to death.

In that hour of sleep, when one is in the middle of the dream, within the useless dreams, but bearable, fatal but necessary ”.

That boy was Juan Rulfo.

Now I am seeing these ruins that evoke nothing.

It seems unbelievable that on the old tiles that still broken resist the passage of time, of those discharged and smelly walls, already without ceilings or lights, there was once a ranch of high manor.

I can imagine the crowd inside asking the perpetual light to shine for the dead. The wake extends throughout the night.

The whole environment is populated with whispers.

The immense tree that awaits the entrance of these ruins is like a weeping and silent giant, gathered on itself. The inhabitants of that time are now souls that roam these places. They were at that time and although Rulfo tucked them in his stories, I feel they have not left. Here they are. The cold that surrounds me makes me fear that I end up being one of them.

The sky threatens rain and the afternoon turns dark. As at that time, as surely the child felt that he would later be recognized worldwide as a great writer named Juan Rulfo, I decide to leave because “tomorrow is uncertain and today is not over yet.”

POR LOS CAMINOS DE

RULFO,

El silencio que se hizo leyenda Por: Jorge Alfonso Sierra Quintero La carretera luce impecable en estos primeros tramos. Hago esfuerzos por imaginar cómo fue entonces cuando al padre de Juan Rulfo, con un escopetazo por la espalda, lo hicieron despedirse de este mundo, siendo aún muy joven.

Voy en busca de parte de la historia de aquel hombre que con solo dos pequeños libros que escribió, nos trastocó para siempre la existencia, poniéndonos a vivir en un mundo muy distinto al que transitábamos. Y que expió el dolor de la muerte de su padre imaginando quizás el sufrimiento eterno y en vida del traidor que a mansalva lo hizo, en ese cuento magistral en el que clama desesperado, “Diles que no me maten”.

Hay un cielo gris, plomizo, del que caen gotas de lluvia que hacen espejear el pavimento. Veo los árboles a lado y lado del camino en una selva densa, tupida, como si se abrazaran las hojas y las ramas.

Y un silencio duro, pesado, sin viento.

podemos agarrarnos para enraizar está muerta” lo torturó por siempre, Juan Rulfo parece mirar su historia dolorosa con una imparcialidad que conmueve.

De muchas maneras expía al asesino de su padre, a quien llama “Juvencio Nava” y que en realidad se nombraba José Guadalupe Nava, apenas frisaba los 20 años y se caracterizaba por “violento y pendenciero”. “Tuvo sus razones”, le hace decir al narrador omnisciente en el cuento nombrado. Aunque era su compadre, “Guadalupe Terreros”, el dueño de “La puerta de Piedra” no le permite que sus ganados pasten en sus dominios. Y lo amenaza. La próxima vez que uno de ellos lo haga, lo hará sacrificar. No tuvo alternativa “Juvencio”. Eso fue.

Rulfo, Juan Nepomuceno Pérez Rulfo, conocido como “Cheno”, y quien es “Guadalupe Terreros” en la narración, sin cumplir los 34 años, era ya dueño de grandes extensiones de tierra las cuales ni siquiera alcanzaba a delimitar bien, aunque se sabe que había heredado de su padre la hacienda “San Pedro”. Pero, ¿cómo adquirió las demás? ¿qué fue lo que hizo para alcanzarlo en tan corta vida? Las narraciones, los chismes, las explicaciones, la leyenda, las envidias, las lenguas buenas y las viperinas se entremezclan y solo queda intuir la realidad en el relato.

Después de más de 2 horas de transitar los 154 kilómetros que la separan de Guadalajara, arribamos a San Gabriel, un pueblo apacible y tranquilo, donde Juan Rulfo vivó y realizó sus primeros años de estudio en el Colegio de las Madres Josefinas.

A unas cuantas cuadras de la plaza del pueblo, en la calle Independencia, existe la casa marcada con el número 8. En la parte exterior, una placa colocada al lado de la puerta principal dice en forma sobria y sencilla: “aquí vivió Juan Rulfo”. El domicilio está cerrado y parece que nadie la habita. Las pocas gentes que alcanzo a abordar en la calle, curiosamente tienen nulas referencias del escritor, excepto uno que otro dato como el que me dieron de la vivienda.

Seguimos camino a la hacienda “Telcampana”, a la que no alcanzó a llegar Juan Nepomuceno Pérez Rulfo y en donde lo velaron. La vía se torna entonces escabrosa. Ya no hay pavimento, solo fangos, espacios muy angostos donde a duras penas alcanza a pasar un vehículo. Las hondonadas están por doquier. El tiempo parece ralentizarse y no quiero imaginar cómo sería en aquellas épocas cuando dicen que “Cheno” Pérez Rulfo no se bajaba del caballo ni de día ni de noche, recorriendo y cuidando sus propiedades.

Una llovizna pertinaz y fastidiosa ha comenzado a acompañarnos. El fango hace patinar el auto.

Por momentos llegamos a pensar que nunca llegaríamos a nuestro destino. Que aquel sería un recorrido que jamás tendría fin pues los sonidos han desaparecido y todos callamos como si fuéramos directo al fin del mundo.

De repente, en una vuelta, nos topamos con unas 8 casas a lado y lado del camino, una calle que parece llevar a otro sitio y una soledad de seres humanos que asombra. Por lo imprevisto de su aparición, debimos devolvernos para preguntar en donde estábamos.

Era allí, aunque no lo pareciera.

Se ven a unos 150 metros unas ruinas que parecen torres de iglesia. Las anticipan unas cercas que alguna vez fueron nuevas.

Están semicaidas y se nota que hace tiempos el monte y las yerbas crecen sin que nadie las corte ni cuide.

Al acercarme, la soledad y el silencio me atrapan, me abrazan. Se escucha solo el ulular del viento, unas ramas de árboles que cansadas se mecen y a lo lejos, perdido en el campo, un perro que ladra.

De pronto me pareció que algo hubiera rasguñado el tiempo. Sentí los pasos de muchos hombres y mujeres venidos de los rancheríos cercanos que, casi arrastrando los pies,

se acercan en silencio con antorchas en sus manos, encendidas, hechas con mechones de trapo impregnados de petróleo.

Arde todo el aire. Ha comenzado a ponerse el llano en llamas.

El gentío viene a enterrar a “Don Cheno”, Juan Nepomuceno Pérez Rulfo, asesinado la noche anterior en el “Potrero de la Agüita” por un tal “Lupe” Nava, quien no quiso pagarle dos pesos por los daños que sus vacas le habían causado a sus cercados. Llegan todos a enterrarlo y a estar en la misa de cuerpo presente que se hará en la Iglesia del pueblo. Las campanas, doblando a duelo, empiezan a sonar y sus retumbos lentamente van llenando el ambiente entero.

Unas horas antes, sobre una rústica e improvisada camilla, hecha con varas y una tabla atravesada en medio, había llegado el cuerpo ensangrentado del muerto. Entre rezos y murmullos, la viuda lo esperó llorosa con una niña recién nacida entre los brazos. Sus tres hijos mayores también están

El frío que me envuelve me hace temer que yo termine siendo uno de ellas.

El cielo amenaza lluvia y la tarde se torna oscura.

Como en aquel tiempo, como seguro lo sintió el niño que más tarde sería reconocido mundialmente como un gran escritor llamado Juan Rulfo, decido partir pues “el mañana es incierto y el hoy, no termina todavía”.
