The mili- tary beat has evolved into a new style known as the Latin Band, many now march to the rhythmic sounds of cumbias, ballenato, samba and other Latin American melodies. This change has its origins in what we refer to as “the four years of si- lence.” After the Peace Accords were signed in Guatemala in 1996, Presi- dent Alvaro Arzú decreed that stan- dard military-style marches would be prohibited from Independence Day celebrations.

  • Un Dominio De Internet Es Una Red De Identificación Asociada a Un Grupo De Disposi Tivos O Equipos Conectados a La Red Internet
    Un dominio de Internet es una red de identificación asociada a un grupo de disposi tivos o equipos conectados a la red Internet. El propósito principal de los nombres de dominio en Internet y del sistema de nomb res de dominio (DNS), es traducir las direcciones IP de cada nodo activo en la r ed, a términos memorizables y fáciles de encontrar. Esta abstracción hace posible que cualquier servicio (de red) pueda moverse de un lugar geográfico a otro en la red Internet, aún cuando el cambio implique que tendrá una dirección IP diferente.1 Sin la ayuda del sistema de nombres de dominio, los usuarios de Internet tendrían que acceder a cada servicio web utilizando la dirección IP del modo (por ejemplo, sería necesario utilizar http://192.0.32.10 en vez de http://example.com). Además, r educiría el número de webs posibles, ya que actualmente es habitual que una misma di rección IP sea compartida por varios dominios. Dominios de nivel superior[editar] Cuando se creó el Sistema de Nombres de Dominio en los años 1980, el espacio de nomb res se dividió en dos grupos. El primero incluye los dominios territoriales, basad os en los dos caracteres de identificación de cada territorio de acuerdo a las abr eviaciones del ISO-3166 (ej. *.do, *.mx), denominados ccTLD (country code top le vel domain o «dominio de nivel superior geográfico»). El segundo grupo incluye dominio s de nivel superior genéricos (gTLD), que representan una serie de nombres y multi organizaciones. Inicialmente, estos dominios fueron: COM, NET, ORG, EDU, GOB y M IL, a los que posteriormente se unieron otros.

  • AN ANALYSIS of FLAG CHANGES in LATIN AMERICA Ralph Kelly
    Comunicaciones del Congreso Internacional de Vexilología XXI Vexilobaires 2005 CAUDILLOS, COUPS, CONSTITUTIONS AND CHANGES: AN ANALYSIS OF FLAG CHANGES IN LATIN AMERICA Ralph Kelly Abstract: The paper provides a review of historical changes in the design of national flags in Latin America since independence. Despite the perception that their national flags do not change, a number of Latin American countries have changed the design of their national flag since independence, either in minor ways or by adopting a completely new design. Some countries have experienced frequent flag changes in the past and only two Latin American national flags have never changed since independence. The paper undertakes a statistical analysis of the pattern of such changes and their reasons, which can be categorised into eight factors. The paper seeks to explain the past changes of the national flags of Latin America in the context of the unique history of the continent. Many flag changes in the past have been associated with changes of government, but in the past century the national flag is a more significant symbol than contemporary governments. The paper assumes an existing general knowledge of the designs and meaning of Latin American flags. Illustrations include reproductions from some of the major historical flag books of the Nineteenth Century and new re-constructions by the author. Text: The initial impression of Latin American flags is that they do not change. All of the national flags shown in "The Flags of the Americas" issue of The National Geographic

  • JUSTIFICATION of AGANC's DECLARATION on the DEFENSE of MORAL VALUES and HOMELAND INSIGNIAS It All Began When the Flag of the L
    JUSTIFICATION OF AGANC’S DECLARATION ON THE DEFENSE OF MORAL VALUES AND HOMELAND INSIGNIAS It all began when the flag of the LGBTI movement was placed on the Central Building of the Public Ministry in Guatemala City, next to the National Flag, in the last week of June of 2017. This unleashed a series of citizen reactions, through the mass media and social networks, in legitimate defense of civic and moral values as well as against the permissiveness of that group that was practically imposing itself on the Law, the patriotic symbols, and morality. The GUATEMALAN ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN LAWYERS AND NOTARIES - AGANC, like other Christian entities, such as the Evangelical Alliance of Guatemala, in the exercise of social, ethical- moral and professional responsibility decided to raise its voice against the aforementioned action taken by public officials of the Public Ministry or Attorney General's Office and the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare, so that gathered on Wednesday, July 5, 2017, in a session led by the Holy Spirit, the following text was drafted. THE GUATEMALAN ASSOCIATION OF CHRISTIAN LAWYERS AND NOTARIES AGANC Ratifies fully its belief that in congruence with the Biblical postulate, the human being was created by God, male and female, and that marriage is also a social and legal institution between a man and a woman given that among its aims is that of procreation. Likewise, Guatemalan legislation, both constitutional and civil, recognize that a person is born a man or a woman and that he or she has the right to a name, and an identity that allows him or her to develop in society.

In the lists below all entities included in the list of countries are included. Names of legislatures The legislatures are listed with their names in English and the name in the (most-used) native language of the country (or the official name in the second-most used native language in cases where English is the majority "native" language). The names of the legislatures differ from country to country. The most used name seems to be National Assembly, but Parliament and Congress are often used too. The name Parliament is in some cases even used when in political science the legislature would be considered a congress. The upper house of the legislature is often named the Senate. In some cases, countries use very traditional names. In Germanic countries variations Thing (e.g. Folketinget) are used. A thing or ting was the governing assembly in Germanic societies, made up of the free men of the community and presided by lawspeakers. A variant is the use of the word Tag or Dag (e.g. Bundestag), used because things were held at daylight and often lasted all day.
