The Mexican State of Quintana Roo finally prohibits bullfights

It took 152 days since it was enacted for the controversial Animal Welfare Law to be published in the entity’s Official Newspaper (see official text). With this Law, it seems that the bullring of Cancun in Quintana Roo will not hold bullfights anymore.

The president of the Board of Directors of the XVI Legislature of the State of Quintana Roo, Gustavo Miranda Garcia, celebrated the publication of the Animal Welfare Law; he said that among other things it prohibits bullfights.

Miranda Garcia, highlighted the work done by the deputies of the last legislature that managed to approve the law, enacted on June 27, which definitively prohibits bullfighting and cockfighting, in addition to imposing greater penalties and protections against animal abuse.

“We are talking about a historical fact for the state of Quintana Roo; due to the importance of the content of this law and in which we work both the deputies of the past legislature and the current ones, to finally get it published in the Official Gazette,” the legislator said.

Finally, the also president of the Board of Directors, recalled that the law establishes that bullfights, as well as the killing of an animal or other acts of cruelty, are considered administrative infractions and obliges the authorities to stop these acts, proceeding to the closing and securing of the animals.

How to call your Mexican friend? “Indian” or “Native American”?

The country of Mexico is home to millions of people who are descendants of the nation’s first settlers. We have the problem that we don’t know what to call them, whether “Indians” or “Native Americans”. With the rise of being politically correct, this debate is open.

I’m Mexican but live in United States, near a few reservations and I am friend of a few “indians.” My house is close to a couple of reservations and I am companion of a couple “indians.” Interestingly I found that the individuals who live on the booking lean toward “indian” and the individuals who experienced childhood in the city will in general favor “local.” Though every one of my companions don’t have an inclination.

All in all the name thing is so far down the need list for most local americans. They are wrestling different issues like distance, awful destitution, broad compulsion, and fights in court over their territory and rights.

As it happens in some Mexican ‘pueblos’, a benevolent however unsafe case of this is “Eskimo”. Some time back a Canadian humanities/human science group went up North and returned with the end that the term was negative and that like the expression “Indian” was hostile (In Canada its an awful word all the more generally) . The term signified “crude meat eater” and outraged some Inuit people groups. Northern indigenous gatherings are for the most part Inuit however not all are. Some don’t relate to the southern gatherings and furthermore don’t as Inuit. Rather than having a catchall term for far north local we lost “Eskimo” to the lion’s share choosing it was hostile.

Notwithstanding wether “Indian” or “Eskimo” is hostile it truly appears wrecked that the individuals could be called that never appear to be the ones (in total) to choose what’s alright or not alright. Its like how I’d had companions be awkward with “dark” as a term however truly never met a dark buddy who was outraged being known as a dark buddy.

Iron Man double brought to motivate police in Guanajuato

In front of the police corps, a double of Robert Downey Jr., in his role of Tony Stark, from Avengers posed for the cameras of the surprised uniformed who took photos of iron Man’s double.

But the tour did not end there, the iron Man double, along with the mayor of Guanajuato, Alejandro Navarro Saldaña posed in various photos with municipal workers, as well as with children and women on the streets of the city that were shaking Tony Stark’s hand.

In social networks the controversy arose if the real mayor had brought the real Robert Downey Jr., in his role of Tony Stark, from Avengers, which became popular in the film saga of superheroes.

Is Iron Man’s double real or not?
Hours after walking the streets of the city in the company of Iron Man and Tony Stark, the official account of the municipal government of Guanajuato clarified that the curious character was the actor Eduardo Mosqueda, Mexican who has been compared with the actor Robert Downey Jr. because of his great resemblance.

The municipal government thanked Iron Man’s double for attending “activities in favor of Guanajuato’s children with the municipal DIF and of motivation with the workers of the Municipal Government”.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
