As a continuation of our previous article on the use of capital letters in Spanish, we will focus on cases where capital letters are used in complete sentences and at the beginning of certain names, regardless of the punctuation that precedes them. There are many examples where entire sentences are capitalized, such as titles of literary works on title pages, major newspaper headings, and titles, sections or chapters of a book. Capital letters are usually also used for whole sentences when you want to convey an important message on a blackboard, signboard, or poster.

Classical Western literature from Homer to Shakespeare and
Classical Western literature, from Homer to Shakespeare and from Mark Twain to Harper Lee, is being destroyed today, just as the Islamic State and the early Christians destroyed ancient images that offended them. And they will not be able to develop the logical and critical thinking skills necessary to understand and overcome the great controversial ideas of classical Western literature. Their story has shaped Western literature–like Star Trek–for some 3,000 years. And so today, as is often the case, the amazing complexity of great literature and great writers is reduced to an overabundance of bigotry and political correctness. Author Padma Venkatraman wrote an essay entitled “Weeding the Invisible Roots of Racism: Rethinking Children’s Classics” in the School Library Journal. A few days ago, bigots in San Francisco began removing offensive titles from public schools. But now these narrow-minded minds, who determine what books can be read to children, are becoming the dictators of a new tolerant culture. When children associate literature with political indoctrination, whether right-wing or left-wing, the smartasses erect a wall and shut it down. They put unwanted literature on a back shelf, inaccessible to young people, where it gets lost and dusted in the shadows. The political left and the growing movement for destruction–fueled by critical race theory–in America’s public schools want to get rid of it. Challenging old classics is the literary equivalent of replacing statues of racist characters, “he” writes. But the purge of great literature often happens quietly, among observant teachers and librarians. Odysseus the Wanderer, written for children by the classicist Aubrey de Selincourt. If the new test for all literature, movies, statues–everything of historical value–is one hundred percent purity, they will all fail. This is Homer’s version of The Odyssey, the greatest adventure story ever told. Those who deny classical literature put themselves in the position of barbarians.

Other than a preview photo and a note on this site, I couldn’t find much information about it, but Zenius says it’s “mostly ransomware games.” “The picture shows Super Bikes 3 and Storm VR, so I assume it’s a typical FEC arcade with an emphasis on ransomware games. Since the establishment is an FEC, you can expect a number of different attractions, but the arcade is filled with recent games like Dark Escape 4D, Injustice, Mario Kart Arcade GP DX, MotoGP, Super Bikes 3 and others, as well as a variety of ransomware and video games. This is good news considering the number of closures announced recently, including the closure of the popular arcade game in Japan, Sega Ikebukuro Gigo in Tokyo. Welcome to Location Watch, a series of posts in which we take a look at brand new arcades opening for the first time. I’ve been a lifelong video game fan and have been running my own arcade, The Game Grid Arcade, in West Valley City, Utah since 2008. It will appear in future Local Hours when they open their doors, unless it’s a quick visit, which means I just couldn’t find enough information about the place to really cover it. This classic arcade opened its doors about a month ago in a rather large room filled with games. Games include Bubble Bobble, Crazy Taxi, Dance Stage Euromix, Donkey Kong, Double Dragon, Galaga, Golden Axe, OutRun 2SP, Street Fighter II, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Striker, X-Men and many more.

Experts cite many other reasons for the increase including
Experts cite many other reasons for the increase, including people living together longer, police departments struggling to quarantine their officers, an increase in homelessness and reduced access to some mental health services. Although data for 2021 have not yet been released, homicide rates in 87 cities this year are about 10 percent higher than last year, Jeff Asher, a New Orleans criminalist, told the Times. The reasons for the rise in crime are not entirely clear, but they could be the increase in gun purchases and the impact of the pandemic on people’s mental health and the economy, the Times said. There were fewer homicides in big cities than in the worst years, but more in mid-sized cities like Albuquerque, Milwaukee, Tulsa (Oklahoma) and Des Moines (Iowa). Some also suggest that the protests after George Floyd’s murder caused vigilantes to abandon some aspects of crime-fighting or reduced public confidence, forcing them to take the law into their own hands. “This is a country where everyone suffers from post-CSVID trauma syndrome and doesn’t know what to expect,” Peter Winograd, a University of New Mexico professor who works as a consultant for the Albuquerque Police Department, told the Times. A breakdown of the numbers shows that of the 2,020 deaths, 9,913 were black, 7,029 were white, 497 were of another race, 315 were of an unknown race, 14,146 were men and 3,573 were women. A smaller percentage of deaths occurred on the parallel coasts of the major cities of New York and Los Angeles, which accounted for nearly 14% of U.S. homicides in 1990 and only 3.8% in 2020. While the 2021 numbers remain high, they seem likely to decline as the year progresses, the New York Times reports. It cites the pandemic, the impact of social justice protests and bail reform that has led to the release of more convicted felons in some cities. “It’s a perfect storm,” Harold Medina, police chief of Albuquerque, N.M., told the Times. About 21,500 people were killed last year, according to 16,000 police departments nationwide. Overall, statistics show that crimes, including rape, armed robbery, burglary and auto theft, fell by about 5 percent in 2020. Despite the sharp increase, the numbers are still well below the violence of the 1990s, The Times reported. There were 4,901 more murders in 2020 than in 2019, according to the data.
