I believe Pomona, California is an ethnic space. Pomona was once a teeming populace of the ideal middle-class. The city consisted of 86% percent Whites and 15% Hispanics during the 1970s, according to the United States Census Bureau. In the 1990s, Pomona experienced a downfall in socio-economic status, was deprived of its middle-class glory, and the flooding of a new ethnic space.

Luther’s achievement on publishing as well as…

The Council of Trent, called by Pope Paul III, took place from 1545 to 1563. This meeting of cardinals, archbishops, abbots, bishops, and theologians met in Trent to discuss how to best combat Protestantism. The largest argument between these church leaders consisted of whether to compromise their doctrines to encourage the return of Protestants to the Church, or to reiterate traditional teachings in strong opposition to the Protestants.

Please illustrate using Paquete Habana, found at DRW pp. 82-85, and related readings. In the case of the Paquete Habana, the U.S. Navy captured two fishing vessels (the Paquete Habana and the Lola) during the Spanish-American War, both of which were sailing under the Spanish flag in and out of Havana while there was a blockade in effect. The Paquete’s crew was unaware of the blockade. Both ships were taken to Florida and sold at auction after a district court ruled that they were not “exempt…

Fairlight Fairlight, a Sydney suburb in the Northern Beaches, is situated about 13 kilometres north east of the central business district. That makes it a great place to live outside the city and provides a short work commute. Some workers who commute to Sydney or the surrounding suburbs to work drive, while others take advantage of the public transportation system that serves Fairlight. The beach here is calm and perfect for swimming, snorkeling, and scuba diving, but is too rocky for surfing.…
