Happy Christmas! (with Transcript)

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. Now we’re moving on to the part of the show that we call ‘Explain yourself!’. This is where our guests talk about a topic and say what they think and why. Listeners, you can tell us who was the most convincing. So we’ve got Jake with us, Jake is from New York in the United States. Then we’ve got Andrew who’s from York in the UK.

Andrew: The original York before the Americans made a worse one.

Jake: No one knows where York is, or cares.

Host: Whoa! We’ve started already. Don’t worry, Jake, Andrew’s just trying to provoke you. This could be an interesting discussion! And today’s topic is Food and Drink. Which is better: American or British?

Jake: Well, this is going to be a short discussion. It’s American food and drink. It’s definitely the most well-known food around the world. What’s the next topic?

Andrew: Just because American food is the most well-known, which it is, it doesn’t mean it’s good. I think most of it is really unhealthy. Yes, he’s definitely an American male. Do all of you just sit watching games on TV that no other countries are interested in, drinking ice cold beer-flavored water and shouting (Mimics) ‘We’re the best at everything! USA!’

Jake: Oh you’re talking to me about beer? Good luck with tempting people to come to your barbecue on a hot day with a nice glass of warm beer. Not that you have barbecues because it’s always raining. You just sit inside with your warm beer and your fish and chips feeling sad.

Andrew: (laughs) I’m not going to apologize for enjoying beer that is slightly warmer than ice. There are things that are more important than how cold it is, you know? Like, oh I don't know - taste?

Host: Beer wars! Are we going to be able to resolve this difference at all, gentlemen?

Andrew: Obviously I’m a little more favorable toward British beer, but Jake has a point about the weather. It doesn’t actually rain all the time, but it’s not usually as hot as it gets in most places in the US.

Part 2 of 6. 

Jack, a pocket-sized blue book with yellow text and white pages, climbed up the library steps, knocked on the modern glass doors and was let in by the security guard. It was an hour before the library opened to the public. 

“Mornin’ Jack,” said the security guard. “I’ve been dying to see you this morning. Could you whip me up a Frappuccino?” 

Jack’s life swirled around coffee. Not only was it his profession, it was his passion and life’s purpose. The library café had been in his family for six generations. Ever since Jack was capable of walking on his two feet, he was working at the café. In due time, Jack had mastered all aspects of coffee making, from grinding and roasting beans to excellent customer service, and everything in between. His father supervised him closely, making sure their state-of-the-art coffee machine was used properly. When Jack was ready, his mother showed him how to create artistic designs using the frothed milk. 

“You’ll have to wait a bit longer,” replied Jack. “I’ve got some extra housekeeping to do this morning. I’ll get it to you at opening time.” 

The island café was placed in the center of the public sitting area. It was surrounded by seven medium-sized tables. Today Jack had to prepare a new shipment of Columbian beans by grinding them and storing them away. After doing that, he mopped around the seating area and wiped the tables. Finally, Jack sliced some cheese for his most popular item, the cheese bread rolls. 

Jack switched on his beloved coffee machine and listened to it hum as it warmed up. With his hand on the steam wand, Jack caught his reflection in the pressure and temperature dials of the machine. Looking back at him was a newly-discovered shiny white hair.

LA BANDERA DE MÉXICO.

En 1821 Agustín de Iturbide se inspiró en dar garantías a los mexicanos declarando la Independencia de México, es entonces cuando nace nuestra Bandera. 

En la declaración del plan de Iguala, Iturbide llevaba la bandera trigarante (verde, blanca y rojo), pero en franjas diagonales. Los colores de la bandera garantizaban algunos derechos: el blanco representaba la religión católica; el verde representaba la independencia de México ante España y el rojo la igualdad y la unión de los mexicanos con los españoles y las castas.

Al finalizar el Imperio de Agustín de Iturbide en 1823, el Congreso Constituyente instauró oficialmente la Bandera Nacional conservando los colores verde, blanco y rojo, pero con algunos cambios: al águila se le quitó la corona imperial y se agregaron los símbolos republicanos de las ramas de laurel y encino.

A mediados del siglo XIX, con la llegada de Benito Juárez a la presidencia del país, se cambió el significado de sus colores , como consecuencia de la separación del estado con la iglesia: Verde: Esperanza; Blanco: Unidad y Rojo: la sangre de los héroes nacionales.

Y es así que el 24 de febrero de 1984 entró en vigencia la nueva Ley sobre el Escudo, la Bandera y el Himno Nacionales, en la que se establece: 

ARTÍCULO 3o.- La Bandera Nacional consiste en un rectángulo dividido en tres franjas verticales de medidas idénticas, con los colores en el siguiente orden a partir del asta: verde, blanco y rojo. En la franja blanca y al centro, tiene el Escudo Nacional, con un diámetro de tres cuartas partes del ancho de dicha franja. La proporción entre anchura y longitud de la bandera, es de cuatro a siete. Podrá llevar un lazo o corbata de los mismos colores, al pie de la moharra. Un modelo de la Bandera Nacional, autenticado por los tres poderes de la Unión, permanecerá depositado en el Archivo General de la Nación y otro en el Museo Nacional de Historia.
