‘President Trump’ Worries Some International Students.





Hussain Saeed Alnahdi was one of the almost 400 international students attending the University of Wisconsin-Stout.

Twenty-four-year-old Alnahdi was from Saudi Arabia. He began his studies at the school in the Midwestern part of the United States last year. But early on the morning of October 30, Alnahdi’s experience as an international student came to a violent end. An unnamed attacker beat him until he died outside a restaurant in the city of Menomonie.

A few weeks later, police announced they had arrested a suspect. They said they do not believe the attack was a hate crime, or a crime influenced by race.

But events like the attack in Wisconsin have raised concerns for many international students living and studying in the U.S.

Study in the U.S.A. is a company that supports international students who want to study at American colleges and universities. A few days before the U.S. presidential election, the company released the results of an opinion study of 1,000 international students from 130 countries. Over 65 percent of the students said they would be less likely to study in the U.S. if Donald Trump were elected president.

FPP EDU Media also works with international students. The company released its own survey of 40,000 students in June. Those results suggested 60 percent of their students felt the same way.

Changing Presidents Can Be a 'Very Stressful Process'.

The election may be over, but for President-elect Donald Trump, the work is just beginning.

The president-elect’s transition team now needs to choose who will work in his administration.

It is a big job. There are positions, such as cabinet secretaries, that must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. In all, there are about 4,000 jobs in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government.

They include everything from top-level advisers and cabinet members to ambassadors, agency directors, and people who answer the telephones.

One-Third of World’s Population Cannot See The Milky Way. [pdf and mp3] - With a Plus Extra, My Humble Opinion.



Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States.


197) One-Third of World’s Population Cannot See The Milky Way.



Bien, debo especificar que este tema compete al bloger Mundial del Idioma Inglés, pero como acontece que el tema es bien interesante y es bien especial, me permito agregarlo aquí. Además, la «pintura-fotografía» del Presidente Barack Obama hace un juego de interés con el tema en cuestión.

Ahora bien, brevemente,

¿Qué opinión tiene M.C. Enrique Ruiz Díaz sobre el conocimiento que desglosa el tema en cuestión?.

Resulta que, lo increíble y dramático del caso es que todo aquel que argumente que lo que hacen las grandes ciudades de Los Estados Unidos de América, y otras grandes y glamorosas ciudades del mundo es, simplemente, patético:

¡¿Por qué?!.

Porque envían en todas sus noches un sinfín de relámpagos artificiales al cielo. Ahora, dentro del contexto de crítica, no es descabellado decir que hombres y mujeres pierden algo de su verdadera constitución psíquico-biológica, y con ellos, también los insectos y las tortugas. Así que ese grupo de críticos tiene visos de ser acertado, con la preocupación y atención que de ello debe derivarse. En síntesis, ¿Cuánto daño puede causar y causa ya la esquizofrenia visual de las noches de las grandes ciudades del mundo?.

Bien, a través de la red telepática un interlocutor me aportó que lo que se deriva (de lo señalado) es «Desorientación Geo-Espacial».. Mal asunto pues.

How the Technology Industry Is Helping Refugees.





A growing number of people are using computer software and other technology to support the needs of immigrants worldwide.

Many of these people already work in the technology industry. Some observers are calling this new movement digital humanitarianism.

Over the past two years, VOA and other media have been reporting on the immigration crisis in Europe. Many of these immigrants are coming from the Middle East and Africa. They are looking for safety and a better quality of life.

Some of the immigrants are migrants, but many others are refugees. Migrants go from one place to another for economic reasons. Refugees flee violence or political unrest in their home country and seek asylum.

The United Nations’ refugee agency (UNHCR) reports that about 65 million people were displaced at the end of 2015.

Since last year, many software developers have been creating digital solutions to help countries deal with the growing number of immigrants.

Technology is changing every part of the journey of refugees and migrants. Before going overseas, for example, they need to plan their trip. During their travels, they might need to send signals for help. After finally arriving in their new country, there are a long list of needs, such as housing, health care, jobs, and legal help.

Last month, the Migration Policy Institute released a report on these digital tools and how governments can better support their development and use.
