Tepito, a mixture of different flavors change stories

Photos: Viridiana Prieto
Tepito is a place that highlights all over Mexico because of the informal trade, the typical neighborhoods that characterize it, to the devotion of its people by Santa Muerte and San Judas Tadeo , and it has always been a hot spot for crime and drug trafficking. This has become a neighborhood full of tradition and danger, but it certainly has been very influential in society, history, economics and politics of the country . Karla is

a woman who has always lived in the rough Tepito neighborhood, at 35 years with three children and with great effort and finished only primary school, had her first son at age 15, she has learned to raise her family and talk to us as life in this city full of conflicts and folklore. The

tepiteños trade have inheritance, are very few people have surveys, and most are poor, the families are large and there are many cases where more than two families living in a small apartment. Here women grow up to have children and find a man to hold it, no matter who abuse, humiliation, hit them, or cheat, machismo is an idea deeply rooted in this small world, where are the worst crimes of passion, revenge or settling scores.

Poverty has generated in this neighborhood crime and drug trafficking that is considered one of the most dangerous in Mexico City. Karla

coupled to 15 years with the father of her first daughter, went to live with her mother and eventually split up because he beat her, did drugs and cheated on her with other women.
After two years back together with another person, because she was pregnant with her second child, and as the money was not enough began selling drugs in his house, they began to business fruits and decided to rent a stall to sell bags and wallets, they repeatedly fell operational surprise and they confiscated his goods, but they earned extra money with the other business, until one day they dropped a raid on his house and all the drugs found, luckily she was not, had gone to the doctor to get a review because she was pregnant again when he returned he found the news that her husband was arrested about to be transferred to prison.

Karla did not have the 300 thousand dollars he was told to let it go because as it was not the first time her husband stepped in jail all their savings were on bail or kickbacks for free.
At present this is the story of many women living in Tepito, where their husbands go to jail and forced to support his family and find a lover who occasionally helps them economically and give them affection.
They face a world where if you have no education are nothing, before women earned their living by washing outside, are now more practical and prefer to learn the business of trading and that is why women who enter are treated equally so that a man, even were the first to jump to defend violence possessions and territories.

A particular case is to Alejandra Barrios who stayed 27 months behind bars, having been accused by the death of Jorge Ramirez Espindola, husband of the leading vendors of Tepito, Maria Rosette. Conflict caused by defend territories marked.
In 1983, Alejandra Barrios recorded before a notary public Legitimate Civic and Commercial Association, filiation PRI, which has maintained control of street vendors in a large part of the Historic Center. This organization brings together the largest number of informal traders at the Centre, about 4 thousand, who have to pay 50 pesos a day, on average, or from 15 to 20,000 weights to ensure shelf space for a given time.
Based on reports from leaders of that activity, only in the Historic Center 30 000 informal traders operating in nearly 200 thousand that might exist around the Federal District, although there are other versions that consider that this figure could be between 300 to 500 thousand. Official figures from the Federal District Government contrast with those of the leaders, because for them there from 8 to 9000 traveling in the first frame of the city.

formal business leaders have blamed public servants themselves encourage this activity and even receive perks from it, as they raise up to 600 million pesos per month dues, for what they anticipated difficult to eradicate.
President of the Confederation of National Chambers of Commerce, Services and Tourism (Concanaco-SERVYTUR), Raul Alejandro Padilla Orozco, said in a note published by Day in February 2005 that the hawkers have become a political spoils , especially at election time, so I asked to take decisive action to remove characters from the government the temptation to extort money from citizens.


And what happened with the street of the historic center, cleaned up the first box and relocated elsewhere, promising exclusive spaces for them to carry out its vintage, but these places are not yet constructed or are in poor condition and poorly located. In February 2007 the city government by Marcelo Ebrard, expropriated the land of Jesus Carranza 33 and Tenochtitlán 40 erroneously called "The Fort to" since the latter is in the street 97 Rock colony of Morelos, the government argues that the site was a base of operations of drug trafficking and piracy as it plans to build a clinic or day there, after this event there were rumors that the government intended eliminate street vending, and even disappear Tepito destroyed most of the buildings to create places, and said that the government already had the model of the final draft of a new Tepito.

However, merchants, neighbors, family, et., Defended the property and after what happened with the downtown merchants, the tepiteños ensure that these places they planned to do in their territory, are the same as promised the vendors from the historic center.


ambulantaje informal trade in this area has been fixed to be more mobile. For this reason the government reached an According to traders, which is that it will allow them to sell as long as they assemble and dismantle the metal structures of the posts, leaving their places clean, otherwise they will be fined and confiscated.


established commercial stores plagued by piracy, since people prefer to buy at flea markets, where the product will come out cheaper. The famous "put off" begin to assemble the steel structure of the posts at 3:00 am and was withdrawn at 6:00 pm. In Tepito you can find everything from original things and good quality at a lower price, although these products generally tend to be of doubtful origin, to imitations of poor quality and very cheap. Also at the flea market are made from esoteric, to beauty parlors, and kitchens on wheels.


According Karla gains a good month of sales, for example, in December , reaching up to 200 thousand pesos. However, as well as make money, traders pay about 6 thousand dollars a month for the use of a small bench space, although much depends on the location of the job. are also required to pay light, personal cleansing, the diableros, to "put off", among other investments. If a trader wants to stop renting and buy the place, spending amounted to 180 thousand pesos.


The merchandise department store in old neighborhoods that serve as warehouses. About
more than 20 000 people visit daily Tepito, but those who visit fear being assaulted and therefore they take precautions.


Tepito The cultural importance has been stressed by writers, painters and musicians Mexicans and foreigners.
The world-famous novel The Children of Sanchez by Oscar Lewis, occurs in Tepito. Tepito is the impressive scene of the novel red-eye corner by Rafael Ramírez Heredia.



The verbal and nonverbal communication has come to sociolinguistic transformation which makes impressive use of creativity in puns codes, intonations and colorful Mexican mischief. Undoubtedly
like everything else, Tepito has its pros and cons but in the end is an area that commands respect.

What To Wear To Brown University Interview

illness Participation of women in

  • Women devoted to a monastic life
    In commemoration of the events of Holy Week, Sr. Claudia, belonging to the congregation of the sisters of Teaching, located in the Church of Our Lady of Pilar, was interviewed on Sunday March 23, about having them participate in religion.


What is Easter?
Easter period of intense activity in the Church to be the week in which it is a memorial of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This week has no fixed date in the calendar is estimated that falls on the Sunday after the first full moon after the spring equinox, and is to be calculated using the ecclesiastical full moon.
Holy Week begins with Palm Sunday, which evokes the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem
. The most important days of Holy Week are formed by the so-called Easter Triduum: Holy Thursday and Good Friday, which commemorates the death of Christ and the Holy Saturday recalls Christ in the tomb. It is also important Vespers Friday and Holy Thursday, the day that the Catholic Church meets the institution of the Eucharist.
takes place on Holy Thursday the visit of the seven houses which is a kind of pilgrimage and sacrifice, remember when Jesus was taken from one side to another, at the time of prosecution and with this passion begins.
The visit of the seven houses, has a similar development to the Cross, as in the seven seasons he read Scripture, pray and meditate on the Lord's Passion.
in Good Friday processions are several, such as the Iztapalapa to depict Christ's ordeal, the three fall and death of Jesus on the Cross. Holy Saturday is expected when the moment of the Resurrection and the celebration of Jesus in the tomb.


Who are they?
The sisters, mothers or sisters, are women who have been enshrined in a religious order and usually follow a monastic life, hosted a series of rules, among which are often celibacy, obedience and humility. There
nuns participating in society, altruistic efforts.

Most people choose these days for vacation and rest, without giving the true importance to the days of reflection and meditation.
To which the mother says, "... to they are only days of rest and recreation which is fine, what is wrong is that they are given time to reflect and thank God for what he did for us. For this reason, I live these days as a nun with great sadness because I see their children more and more distant from God. These are undoubtedly important events to remember are moments that will never have to be written out of history for humanity, "he said.
Within sectors of the population more involved in the religion she claims that "it is difficult, because I have no statistics at hand, but with the religious experience I have as I dare say that more women are always involved and children, ie have a more constant and direct, but in general almost all the churches we go when we have problems, or when celebrating a party. Although there are times when everyone gets involved, as in the pastorals and representations of the Cross and that they are participants, men, women, children and adolescents "


Discrimination.
Asked if there is gender discrimination in the Catholic religion, said it's an issue that causes controversy: "Some scholars say that there is discrimination when Jesus decided to create woman from his side, and when Mary is not consulted if you want to be mothers or not, but in my humble opinion I believe that in the eyes of God we are all equal and that God gave the woman a wonderful gift to give life to other human beings I believe that there is no discrimination. "
For current discrimination is discussed as to why they were refused entry to the church to people like prostitutes and drunkards: "The Church is the house of God, but God was not imposed these rules, religious, parents, clergy in general, are human beings, and try to look after the house of the Lord, we do not prohibit the entry and we are nobody to judge them, we ask for is respect, attend to it with full awareness of why they are there. When they die then God will redeem all its sins, as he did with Mary Magdalene, the protected and said "who is without sin cast the first stone."
further commented that as religious are free to express concerns and comment on any matter "that is the sacrifice of our Lord, that humanity had a chance to choose between good and evil, all people have a choice. Not only partake expressing ourselves, but we are also agents of change within our means. " Finally he wanted
question about why a woman can not have access to an ecclesiastical office, "The nuns are very maternal, reflect love of Christ to love reflect a being that shows protection, why are parents who exercise these positions that besides offering protection are fair, and we as women let us get more by sentimentality. Besides the preparation is different, we can officiate a Mass, but people will always identify more with the loving father figure, and protection. "

Clearly, women are important part of the religious factor, besides being a majority, but speaking of discrimination is an issue that has caused controversy. However, the sisters are happy living the life they lead, the novices know in advance what it takes to be a nun and is at this stage where they are convinced of wanting to take this life or to serve God in other ways.

White Patches On My Betta Fish

The

last week held the Forum Organized Crime and Abuse of Power, "Challenges and Future of freedom of expression in Mexico" at the Chamber of Deputies.
The issue caused a stir and controversy, so it's hard for me to decide that I do with all this information, which is enough, note, review news, or just an opinion.

The topic was very interesting, the forum was attended by different types of audience, media and journalism students mostly and various schools and students of law and criminology. Also professionals, and journalists went to cover the story.

The exponents were important characters, interesting and experienced in the subject for example: Brozo, Carmen Aristegui, Lilly Téllez, José Luis Soberanes Fernández, Leo Zuckerman, Jorge Fernando Menéndez, Raymundo Riva Palacio, among others.


played in each panel different issues in relation to the main theme of the Forum, so I have many ideas crowded into one. First, I wonder how many people were there for pleasure and personal interest and how many had gone by that we sent our teachers, or simply to meet at work.
One of the important points which I think was played, was the lack of interest and the conformism that students have been presented today, the lack of reading, information and research. I think we should start here to see what we demand and expect, but also how willing we are to collaborate.

On Friday, February 29 and presented the panel with the theme "Organised crime and freedom of expression" Its exponents were: Jorge Fernandez Menendez, a writer, columnist for Excelsior, Image Driver Information Radio and host of "Mexico Confidential" Cadena Tres.

The attacks are also often common and injuries can be serious and sometimes fatal. In most countries, a woman is more likely to die by her husband or partner at the hands of any other attacker. In addition to causing physical injury, domestic violence also appears as a major cause of suffering and psychological trauma. Most battered women suffer the ravages of anxiety associated with fear of the next attack and attacks the person that is supposed to care for them will cause confusion and feelings of anger.
