Hispanics settlement patterns in the U.S. with more Hispanics moving to the midwestern states 2010-2015
09/07/2012
The midwestern states of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, see large increases in Hispanic population. Hispanics now represent 5% of the population in Iowa. The migration inland from California and other states bordering Mexico is helping revive the economies of smaller cities and towns in the heartland of the U.S. This is in line with the historical role immigration has played in the U.S.

U.S., Germany, Russia, Brazil and the anti-Islamic video on the Prophet Muhammad in Sept. 2012
09/12/2012
Google's You Tube service provided the access to what would have been an obscure and crude video. This raises several questions- would a crude video of this type on the Buddha or Krishna be given similar access on the basis of the First Amendment and what would be the response in S. Korea, Japan, and India? Would it then be withdrawn. Is an election candidate for local government in Brazil entitled to protection because of Brazil's election laws? This was decided in favor of the election candidate after Brazilian courts ordered the arrest of the head of the Google affiliate in Brazil and Google then reversed its stand and removed it from You Tube. Are there unwritten laws and is the Prophet entitled to the same protection under unwritten laws that govern most of daily human behaviour in America and Europe? Does the First Amendment protect everything that new technology providers such as Google do, or do unwritten laws and good common sense prevail until new laws can be written for use of new technology, if such laws are needed that protect First Amendment rights without infringing on other rights.

President Obama's overriding objective was winding down the war in Iraq. The Iraq the U.S. leaves behind falls short of other objectives such as maintaining a cooperation arrangement with the government and a presence in the region. Gordon and Trainor describe this in their new book.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
