  • Reinas De Belleza De Puerto Rico: 2018-2020
    Reinas de Puerto Rico Según el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, una reina es una mujer que ejerce la potestad real por derecho propio o una mujer que por su excelencia sobresale entre las demás de su clase o especie. Las primeras pertenecen al viejo mundo y las segundas son del nuevo. Puerto Rico ha sido prolífico en reinas. Ya en el Siglo XIX se celebraban fiestas de pueblo donde se escogían a sus reinas para celebrar el triunfo de la espiritualidad sobre la frivolidad y como representante de la monarquía regente. Reinas de Puerto Rico es un intento de identificar todas las damas de nuestra sociedad que de una u otra forma han representado a sus pueblos o al País en los reinados de carnaval, fiestas patronales, fiestas especiales y certámenes de belleza. Estas jóvenes pertenecen a la historia folclórica de Puerto Rico y con este trabajo le damos reconocimiento. ¡Qué viva la Reina! Flor M. Cruz-González, ([email protected]) Bibliotecaria Profesional, Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Arecibo. Agradecimientos Al presentar este proyecto que tomó cerca de ocho años en realizarse y que presento en un momento tan significativo para Puerto Rico, quiero agradecer primero a Dios que rige mi vida y me ha traído hasta aquí. Muy en especial al Sr. Rafael “Rafin” J. Mirabal Linares, por toda su ayuda con el material fotográfico, información y asesoría, al Sr. Confesor Bermúdez, por presentarme a Rafín, por siempre mantenerme al tanto sobre los certámenes de belleza desde que era uno de nuestros estudiantes y por brindarme el ánimo continuo con su gran sentido del humor y talento.

    December 20, 2019 Christmas Edition Unity Bank Towers Unity Bank Plc, Plot 42, Ahmed Onibudo Street, Victoria Island, Lagos Head Office Annex Plot 785, Herbert Macaulay Way, Central Business District, Abuja, FCT The Highlights Headline inflation increased by 0.24% to 11.85% in November Headline inflation sustained its upward trajectory, increasing by 0.24% to 11.85% in November. This is the 3rd consecutive monthly increase and the highest level in 19 months. The uptick in general price level can largely be attributed to the combined effect of reduced supply stemming from the closure of land borders and increased demand typically associated with the festive period. Conversely, month-on-month inflation declined for the first time in six months to 1.02% as the effects of the border closure moderated from October to November. All other inflation sub-indices however increased; food inflation was up 0.39% to 14.48% driven by increase in the price of bread, tubers, cereals, among others, core inflation increased by 0.11% to 8.99%, while rural and urban inflation rose to 11.30% and 12.47% respectively. President Buhari signs 2020 budget into law On December 17, President Buhari signed the 2020 budget into law. This comes 12 days after the Senate and the House of Representatives passed the Appropriation Bill on December 5, 2019.
