Es nuestra razón de ser promover la divulgación de la historia de España con un doble objetivo de formar y entretener, presentando un relato tan veraz como ameno que logre recuperar un sano orgullo de sentirnos parte de esta gran nación, cuya historia merece ser divulgada y defendida.

EPOPEYA DEL PACÍFICO

Beagles Explained Introduction Beagles, one of the most recognizable and beloved dog breeds, are known for their keen sense of smell, distinctive howl, and friendly disposition. Originating as hunting dogs, they have evolved into popular family pets, adored for their size, temperament, and unique characteristics. This essay provides an in-depth look into the history, traits, and roles of Beagles, shedding light on their enduring popularity. Origins The Beagle's origins can be traced back to England before the Roman legions arrived in 55 B.C. They were developed primarily for hunting hare and rabbit, a practice known as beagling. The breed's ancestry includes the Harrier and other English hounds, bred for their tracking abilities and stamina. Development of the Breed Through selective breeding, Beagles were developed to have a keen sense of smell and strong tracking instincts. Their size allowed them to follow scent trails through dense underbrush, making them ideal for hunting small game. Appearance Beagles are small to medium-sized dogs, typically weighing between 20 to 30 pounds. They have a compact, muscular build, a broad head, and large, expressive eyes. Their ears are long and droopy, and their tails are usually upright. Coat and Color Beagles have a short, weather-resistant coat. They come in various colors, including tri-color (black, brown, and white), lemon, red and white, and more. Personality Beagles are known for their friendly and curious nature. They are sociable dogs, getting along well with children and other pets. Their playful and outgoing demeanor makes them excellent family companions. Intelligence and Trainability While intelligent, Beagles are sometimes perceived as stubborn, mainly due to their strong noses leading them astray. They respond well to patient, positive training methods, especially those that involve scent games. Common Health Issues Beagles are generally healthy but prone to certain conditions like obesity, epilepsy, and hip dysplasia. Regular exercise and a balanced diet are crucial for their well-being. Grooming and Exercise Their short coat requires minimal grooming, but regular brushing helps manage shedding. Beagles are energetic and need daily exercise to stay fit and mentally stimulated. The Beagle in Work and Society Beagles' exceptional sense of smell makes them ideal for roles in scent detection. They are used in airports and border checkpoints for sniffing out contraband, and their non-threatening size makes them suitable for these public roles. Cultural Impact Beagles have a significant presence in popular culture, with characters like Snoopy from "Peanuts" enhancing their popularity. Their friendly nature and adorable looks have made them a staple in advertisements, movies, and television. In Short Beagles, with their charming characteristics, playfulness, and loyalty, continue to be one of the most popular breeds worldwide. Whether as family pets, hunting companions, or working dogs, Beagles have proven their versatility and adaptability. Their rich history, combined with their endearing qualities, ensures that Beagles will remain beloved companions for many years to come. Thanks for listening to Quiet Please.

Beagles - Explained

Stan Lee: The Legendary Marvel Comics Visionary Comic books may be thought of as childish entertainment by some, but no one can deny the incredible influence of Marvel Comics and its legendary writer, editor and publisher, Stan Lee, on generations of readers and popular culture itself. Lee was the genius behind Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor and the X-Men – some of the most popular superheroes ever created. While his longtime collaborator Jack Kirby focused more on art, Lee crafted the words and personas that catapulted Marvel Comics into mythic status. Stanley Martin Lieber was born on December 28, 1922 to Romanian immigrant parents in New York City. From childhood, he loved adventure books and Errol Flynn movies, and enjoyed writing. After graduating high school early at age 16, Lieber took a job in 1939 as an editorial assistant at Timely Comics under editor Joe Simon. Timely Comics was a predecessor of Marvel Comics, which published Captain America and the Human Torch comics. Young Lieber wanted to save his real name for more literary work, so he used the pen name Stan Lee for his comic writing. He started by writing filler text and answering fan mail. Before long he was writing dialog as well as text filler, captions and short stories. When Simon and his creative partner Jack Kirby, the artist who co-created Captain America, left in 1941, Lee was promoted to interim editor at just 18 years old. The emerging writer proved he could handle the job. After Simon briefly returned, Lee became Timely's editor-in-chief in 1942. His new position and job stability through the World War II era – along with his status as a married man after wedding Joan Clayton Boocock in 1947 – allowed Lee to expand the comic book medium with more complex plots and characters. In the 1950s, Timely Comics became Atlas Comics as genres expanded beyond superheroes into horror, westerns, humor, medieval adventure, war and suspense. In 1956, Lee decided to upgrade the company to focus more on quality. Atlas began slowly reviving superheroes and launched Amazing Adventures, Tales to Astonish and other titles to reintroduce the genre. The following year, after DC Comics reinvented the superhero archetype with Update and Flash, Atlas Comics responded. In November 1961, Lee and freelance artist Jack Kirby released The Fantastic Four #1, which ushered Marvel Comics onto the scene by introducing more complex characters and sophisticated comic narrative. This launched the era that would make Lee a legend. Over the next several years, Lee worked with Kirby and other collaborators to produce titles introducing popular heroes like the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, Daredevil and the popular teen web-crawler, Spider-Man. Lee had a knack for writing witty dialog and giving each hero a flawed humanity and depth that resonated powerfully with readers. Rather than virtuous archetypes, they had tempers, romantic troubles and insecurities despite their super abilities. More broadly, Lee helped transform comic books from simplistic kids’ entertainment into an sophisticated art form and respectable literary medium. His natural media savvy made Marvel Comics a multimedia success across publications, merchandise, television and eventually film. Whereas previous comic heroes spent more time fighting villains than dealing with personal issues, Lee introduced a formula using real-world drama along with epic adventure. His heroes were fleshed out as complex characters with rich back stories and everyday problems readers could relate to. The human vulnerabilities, relationship struggles and remorse over harm done by their powers made the extraordinary somehow ordinary. Readers bonded closely with these heroes. Lee also pioneered bringing social issues into story lines, tackling racism, discrimination, addiction and poverty when such topics were unheard of in comics. No longer written just for children, Lee’s comics used college-level vocabulary and references to classic literature to engage older readers. The breezy conversational tone and pop culture references appealed to kids as well. This expanded the demographic substantially. On the production side, Lee initiated the "Marvel Method" of storytelling. Instead of writing a full story then giving it to an artist to draw, he collaborated by discussing a plot concept together then having the artist draw pages first. Lee would then add dialog and captions that integrated seamlessly into the finished artwork. This creative synergy produced the seamless storytelling that Marvel Comics became famous for. By founding the Marvel brand, Lee gave comics an identity beyond just DC that fans could rally behind. The shared "universe" concept knits all the heroes and titles into a continuity. Characters freely crossed over between comics, building reader loyalty across franchises. The Avengers comic alone brought together fan favorites Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Ant-Man, and Wasp into one powerhouse team under Lee’s masterful guidance. Lee also cultivated fandom by answering letters, writing Marvel news columns himself, and embracing fans as collaborators long before audience interaction became regular practice. Readers adored him. Once Marvel snapped up market share in the mid-1960s era known as the "Marvel Age of Comics," Lee expanded into live events like conventions and college campus lectures where throngs of fans caused riots more typical of rock stars than comic writers. Marvel Comics commanded fierce, almost cult-like loyalty never seen before. Lee achieved it through sharp creative vision mixed with marketing brilliance and an affable persona. He built Marvel into both a top-seller and a social phenomenon that would only continue to grow for generations. Later Career By 1972, Lee had risen to the publisher and assumed the role of Marvel’s public face and chairman as he gave up writing monthlies. He moved to California in 1980 to develop Marvel's TV and movie properties. After retiring from Marvel officially in the 1990s, he worked on the company’s films and other media as Executive Producer and Creative Director. In 2001, Lee founded Stan Lee Media to create superhero films, TV, merchandising and online content independent from Marvel. Though the venture struggled and dissolved, Lee continued moving into multimedia platforms and properties outside traditional publishing. Throughout his later career, he focused on translating Marvel characters successfully into profitable films, video games, and action figures that greatly expanded the brand into mainstream popularity. Lee served as executive producer for Marvel film adaptations like Spider-Man (2002), Hulk (2003), Daredevil (2003), Fantastic Four (2005), and led the umbrella Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment Inc. to push digital entertainment platforms even further. At age 89, his Reality Show "Who Wants to be a Superhero?" (2006) reflected Lee's tireless spirit for re-inventing the superhero genre across every possible medium. A pop culture visionary but humble man beloved by millions of fans worldwide, Lee posted numerous heartfelt good-bye messages later in life thanking his devoted followers until passing away in 2018 at age 95. His name remains synonymous with Marvel Comics. Beyond his storytelling prowess, Lee carved an equally enduring legacy by virtue of his charismatic persona and multimedia savvy. Though originally hailing from a modest background, he cultivated an outgoing, humorous public image wearing his trademark tinted spectacles. His shameless use of hyperbole like proclaiming Marvel issues as “the greatest superhero sagas ever published!” endeared him to readers. Stan fully embraced his celebrity status and went out of his way to engage directly with fans, who felt they knew him intimately. He added clever catchphrases and inside jokes into letter columns then playfully needled his own colorful narrative style as over-the-top showmanship readers adored. Along the way, “Stan the Man” made sure to humanize his superhuman characters with very human shortcomings. Peter Parker constantly struggles to balance Spider-Man heroics with paying rent on time or showing up for dates. Bruce Banner battles violent inner demons while the Thing butts heads with Human Torch’s arrogance. Doctor Strange’s ego causes strife. Personal hang-ups plagued the X-Men. Lee wove moral lessons into the adventures as well using clashes between heroes’ egos and agendas to show cooperation as more virtuous than competition. Villains often gained redemption. Readers responded powerfully to the pathos. By revealing extraordinary characters as very ordinary people facing internal struggles rather than purely external battles against formulaic villains, Lee totally reinvented the 20th-century superhero archetype. Adding emotional depth and continuity across franchise titles proved groundbreaking. Lee made Marvel fans view superheroes as close personal friends. The phenomenal success permitted Lee to cross over from comics and oversee Marvel’s expansion into Hollywood. Though several previous superhero serials had briefly appeared on film and 1980s television, Lee helped Marvel properties finally claim legitimacy on the big screen. After 1998, Marvel films like Spiderman broke box office records and ignited the superhero film craze still raging decades later. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has approached $23 billion total worldwide box office across 23 blockbusters to date since Iron Man first kicked things off in 2008. And most credit it all to Lee’s original vision that transformed both comic literature and youth entertainment forever

Stan Lee: The Legendary Marvel Comics Visionary Comic books may be thought of as childish entertainment by some, but no one can deny the incredible influence of Marvel Comics and its legendary writer, editor and publisher, Stan Lee, on generations of readers and popular culture itself. Lee was the genius behind Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor and the X-Men – some of the most popular superheroes ever created. While his longtime collaborator Jack Kirby focused more on art, Lee crafted the words and personas that catapulted Marvel Comics into mythic status. Stanley Martin Lieber was born on December 28, 1922 to Romanian immigrant parents in New York City. From childhood, he loved adventure books and Errol Flynn movies, and enjoyed writing. After graduating high school early at age 16, Lieber took a job in 1939 as an editorial assistant at Timely Comics under editor Joe Simon. Timely Comics was a predecessor of Marvel Comics, which published Captain America and the Human Torch comics. Young Lieber wanted to save his real name for more literary work, so he used the pen name Stan Lee for his comic writing. He started by writing filler text and answering fan mail. Before long he was writing dialog as well as text filler, captions and short stories. When Simon and his creative partner Jack Kirby, the artist who co-created Captain America, left in 1941, Lee was promoted to interim editor at just 18 years old. The emerging writer proved he could handle the job. After Simon briefly returned, Lee became Timely's editor-in-chief in 1942. His new position and job stability through the World War II era – along with his status as a married man after wedding Joan Clayton Boocock in 1947 – allowed Lee to expand the comic book medium with more complex plots and characters. In the 1950s, Timely Comics became Atlas Comics as genres expanded beyond superheroes into horror, westerns, humor, medieval adventure, war and suspense. In 1956, Lee decided to upgrade the company to focus more on quality. Atlas began slowly reviving superheroes and launched Amazing Adventures, Tales to Astonish and other titles to reintroduce the genre. The following year, after DC Comics reinvented the superhero archetype with Update and Flash, Atlas Comics responded. In November 1961, Lee and freelance artist Jack Kirby released The Fantastic Four #1, which ushered Marvel Comics onto the scene by introducing more complex characters and sophisticated comic narrative. This launched the era that would make Lee a legend. Over the next several years, Lee worked with Kirby and other collaborators to produce titles introducing popular heroes like the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the X-Men, Daredevil and the popular teen web-crawler, Spider-Man. Lee had a knack for writing witty dialog and giving each hero a flawed humanity and depth that resonated powerfully with readers. Rather than virtuous archetypes, they had tempers, romantic troubles and insecurities despite their super abilities. More broadly, Lee helped transform comic books from simplistic kids’ entertainment into an sophisticated art form and respectable literary medium. His natural media savvy made Marvel Comics a multimedia success across publications, merchandise, television and eventually film. Whereas previous comic heroes spent more time fighting villains than dealing with personal issues, Lee introduced a formula using real-world drama along with epic adventure. His heroes were fleshed out as complex characters with rich back stories and everyday problems readers could relate to. The human vulnerabilities, relationship struggles and remorse over harm done by their powers made the extraordinary somehow ordinary. Readers bonded closely with these heroes. Lee also pioneered bringing social issues into story lines, tackling racism, discrimination, addiction and poverty when such topics were unheard of in comics. No longer written just for children, Lee’s comics used college-level vocabulary and references to classic literature to engage older readers. The breezy conversational tone and pop culture references appealed to kids as well. This expanded the demographic substantially. On the production side, Lee initiated the "Marvel Method" of storytelling. Instead of writing a full story then giving it to an artist to draw, he collaborated by discussing a plot concept together then having the artist draw pages first. Lee would then add dialog and captions that integrated seamlessly into the finished artwork. This creative synergy produced the seamless storytelling that Marvel Comics became famous for. By founding the Marvel brand, Lee gave comics an identity beyond just DC that fans could rally behind. The shared "universe" concept knits all the heroes and titles into a continuity. Characters freely crossed over between comics, building reader loyalty across franchises. The Avengers comic alone brought together fan favorites Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, Ant-Man, and Wasp into one powerhouse team under Lee’s masterful guidance. Lee also cultivated fandom by answering letters, writing Marvel news columns himself, and embracing fans as collaborators long before audience interaction became regular practice. Readers adored him. Once Marvel snapped up market share in the mid-1960s era known as the "Marvel Age of Comics," Lee expanded into live events like conventions and college campus lectures where throngs of fans caused riots more typical of rock stars than comic writers. Marvel Comics commanded fierce, almost cult-like loyalty never seen before. Lee achieved it through sharp creative vision mixed with marketing brilliance and an affable persona. He built Marvel into both a top-seller and a social phenomenon that would only continue to grow for generations. Later Career By 1972, Lee had risen to the publisher and assumed the role of Marvel’s public face and chairman as he gave up writing monthlies.
