Mr. Brockhouse, I am very disappointed that you sold out to the "P/C" Winnies and voted to remove the statue at Travis park. Well lets not stop there. Why don't we remove the rest of the statues/monuments throughout the city (cause I'm sure someone out there finds them offensive and make San Antonio a dull neutral city with no history what so ever. You can start with either, Milam Park, MLK Park or the Alamo.…
Santa Maria dell’Ammiraglio, commonly referred to as La Martorana, is the next place to most certainly should visit. It’s famed for its astonishing 12th-century mosaics and was originally designed to function as a mosque. The architectural concept features three different architectural styles due to it changing allegiances over the centuries. The best time of the day to visit is first thing in the morning; when sunlight illuminates the magnificent Byzantine mosaics.…
I am writing you today because I am especially interested in efforts to provide Medicaid for the Marshallese citizens in our state. I feel that it is very important for all Marshallese citizens to have access to health benefits. When the United States signed the Compact of Free Association with the Marshall Islands and two other island nations in 1985, the US government agreed to provide financial and technical assistance in the field of health care. The Marshallese had their homeland, culture, and health sacrificed, so that the United States could conduct nuclear tests. The Marshallese are caught in an unjust system.…

The United States of America is known as the land of the free. This is a place where anyone near or far can come to find independence. Our country of built on the on the simple foundation of independence, and yet the candidates for are debating on whether or not to build a wall to keep Mexicans for crossing the border. We have fences and border patrol, isn’t that enough? Trump doesn’t think so, but this wall is not just there to keep people out.…
In everyone’s life, there will be trials they will undergo. Revelation 2:10 says, “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Your majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, distinguished members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen: I am very humble for such a prestigious award. I feel very honored to be standing in same place as Mr. Carter, DR. King Jr, and Mr. Nelson once stood. Compared to them, my achievements are slim.…
Have you ever wanted to go back in the past? I bet you’ve thought that at some point, but what I've realized is that it wouldn't really be worth it. Things haven't really changed, even since the Middle Ages. Certainly we have more technology now, different modern day countries, and the human race improved a bit. By a bit I mean, people still relate to each other and treat each other as they always have, even when they shouldn't, especially in the Middle Ages.…

Less than a few years after the torrential Black Plague ravaged through central Europe, one of the most influential, and significant time periods in history, The Renaissance, occurred. During this time there were spikes of interest in art, science, writing and poetry, and religion. While many of these interests were significant, the biggest changes were made in the aspects of religion, artistic and scientific, and poetic advancements. Many pioneers were recognized during the Renaissance. A few of the biggest influencers were Martin Luther, John Calvin, and King Henry VII.…
After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…

There are so many alleys and nooks and I am just not into all that. Truthfully alleys scare me. One thing I did like in Florence was the chapels. If you are a big shopper Florence would be the place to go as they have lots of shops to explore. I sure love pasta foods, although they are not good for me as a diabetic.…
