Historical Walking Tour of Monterey, Friday 21st February, 2020.

-

Hi again everyone,
As promised, I am sharing some activities of my stay at Monterrey, starting with the fun part this Friday, 21 February, 2020 😃
Although the morning of Friday saw us taking a very important lecture from Dr. Nikolai Sokov via Zoom from the Vienna Center for Disarmament and nonproliferation, nonetheless, we were able to go on a historic tour of Monterrey as part of the course on cultural exchange. The magical tour is conducted by a wonderful lady, Ms. Monica Hudson (https://www.calegacytours.com). We met in front of the CNS Building and had a two hours magical tour from 12-2.00 pm. The historic tour is better told in pictures and that is what I will be doing here.

Start of the tour, meet up in front of the CNS building. Left to right, Monica, Anastasia N, Anastasia B, Rabia, Hanna and Ozge.

Born on February 18, 1909 in rural Evergreen, Alabama, Warren Elliot Henry was an African American physicist and educator who spent almost seven decades working in the fields of magnetism and superconductivity. Henry earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from the Tuskegee Institute in 1931, his master’s in organic chemistry from Atlanta University in 1937, and his doctorate in physical chemistry from the University of Chicago in 1941. During World War II, he returned to teach at Tuskegee, where his students included the black military pilots who would become famous as the Tuskegee Airmen. In 1943 he was recruited to work at MIT’s Radiation Laboratory to develop video amplifiers for radar. After the war, Henry continued to work in both academia and industry. He served on the faculties of several schools, including Morehouse College, Spelman College, and Howard University, from which he retired as professor emeritus in 1977. From 1948 to 1960, Henry worked at the Naval Researc

American Generosity - Part II

Greetings On September 17, 2020, I published the first part of my thoughts about American generosity.

A (re)Introduction A superficial view of current news about racial, ideological, and political tensions in America would suggest that America is an unkind and tumultuous country. However, such a shallow perspective of Americans’ kindness is extremely far from the truth because Americans' generosity is beyond compare in particular, considering how Americans are certainly typically willing to welcome guests who are entirely unknown to them.  Being a country with a low uncertainty avoidance index, America has a culture of sacrificing for foreigners, notwithstanding the religious, cultural, political, and other inclinations of the foreigne
