city center. On Spanish radio network Cadena Ser, she confirmed that Madrid's main avenue, the Gran Vía, will only allow access to bikes, buses, and taxis before she leaves office in May 2019. It's part of a larger effort to ban all diesel cars in Madrid by 2025. But the Spanish city is not the only one getting ready to take the car-free plunge. Urban planners and policy makers around the world have started to brainstorm ways that cities can create more space for pedestrians and lower CO2…

This semester I had the chance create a local ad, a national ad, and a TV broadcasting ad in English 2060 Writing for Advertisement. Throughout the semester, we analyzed William F. Arens’ book Advertising and Robert Bly’s book The Copywriter’s Handbook. In addition to the books, the concept of C.R.A.P I learned from the desktop and publishing course helped in the creation of all my advertisements. Arens’ book Advertising has such a wealth of knowledge that only the top three concepts that…

History of Israel Palestine Relationship and Negotiations: A full timeline of Israel 's key events is contained in Appendix A. The country of Israel was established in 1947 when the UN voted to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, wish Jerusalem and Bethlehem to be controlled by the UN. In the following years, around 750,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were expelled from Israel, and up to a million Jewish refugees from Arab countries and 250,000 holocaust survivors settle in…

Controversial topics are typically surrounded by a lot of “grey area” and strong opinions. People dispute abortion, war, and genetically modified food. Yet, no sane person disputes the immorality of genocide; likewise, no sane person celebrates when a genocide has taken place. By these standards nearly every human in Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game is insane. Ender Wiggin may be the only sane person, yet he is the celebrated killer in question. Ender’s good intentions do nothing to alter his…

and law enforcement officials have been attesting to for years – that it is always possible to trace a print back to one single person. Recent errors have backed up the statement that fingerprints can indeed, lie, such as the March 2004 bombings in Madrid, Spain that killed almost 200 people. A partial print on a bag of detonators was linked to Oregon lawyer Brandon Mayfield by a total of four fingerprint examiners – including one from Mayfield’s own defense team. There was just one issue –…

Havana was also famous for its 'Creollo' cuisine. Dishes such as black beans, old clothes, Congrí (black beans and rice) with roast pork, cassava with mojo, ajiaco or desserts such as fritters, guava shells, 'Coquitos' (coconut balls) or 'Pan de Gloria' (Glory Bread) were a treat for both visitors and locals. And their drinks, 'Mojitos', 'Daiquiris', 'Piña Coladas' and other cocktails, such as those prepared in the legendary 'Bodeguita de El Medio', were world- renowned. Owing to its nightlife,…

In order to more effectively care for the mentally ill our policies should focus on improvement on the care provided for those who suffer from the more severe side of the spectrum. These are patients who need a more structured care program and failed to be included with the other generalized treatment plans; when these patients are not treated successfully they end up in an endless cycle. Satel and Torrey (2016) mention “the toughest cases … require heavy doses of paternalism,” due to the…

Ada Ferrer’s writing, Freedom’s Mirror, compares and contrasts the Haitian Revolution which was instigated by the slaves and the sugar revolution which was led by Cuban planters. The book begins with Cuba’s agricultural transformation from the society with slaves to the slave society. I mainly concentrated on the “A Colony Worth a Kingdom”; in Chapter 1, Ada seemed more focusing on the planters than the slaves and the Chapter even makes the reader think that Ada thinks nothing of slave’s…

He was accused after his fingerprints tied him to the Madrid bombing, but a few weeks later it was discovered that they had the wrong person. It is amazing how the justice system could have gotten the wrong individual with the greatest tool on their side. That comes to show that if science could get it wrong, human error through coercion is even greater. Additionally, torture undermines U.S diplomacy and it goes against our human rights: “In 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal…
