In addition to being the sixth largest city in Texas, El Paso is the 21st largest city in the United States. It has a population of about 670,000 and is found along the Rio Grande River just across from Ciudad Juárez in Mexico. Together Juarez-El Paso has a combined population of about 2 million people, with Juarez having about twice the amount as El Paso.

There are several United States military facilities located in El Paso. One of the largest army bases in the entire United States, Fort Bliss, is found in east and north east of El Paso. Holloman Air Force Base is near El Paso in Alamogordo, which is also near the White Sands Missile Range used for testing missiles.

The first European to visit the Rio Grande River at El Paso was the explorer don Juan de Onate, who arrived in 1598. Almost 100 years later, in 1680, El Paso became the seat of government for the territory of New Mexico, and stayed the largest settlement in that state until it was joined to the United States in 1848 at the time that Texas conquered it in 1850.

MATEA

Posted on May 9, 2013 at 4:09 pm by admin

MATEA, or are the initials of the five original basic emotions that all human beings bring you home. M = fear, A = joy, T = sadness, = anger = affection. All of them form part of our mental health, respecting them and living them is as it is emotionally healthy. Its usefulness: in the workshops I teach self-awareness and emotional freedom, many people ask me: but as emotions as menacing as they do fear, sadness and anger can be cured? Of course they do!; they are put in us for something and something by ahem: fear helps us for survival, the sadness to recognize our need for privacy when we have emotional pain and anger to defend ourselves and put limits. Above all the sadness has to respect and live it the time that is necessary since otherwise the emotional healing will not come, and here is where the majority of my students and patients protest; How?, if all my life has told me that it is not good to be sad, since childhood my parents and the people who I you want to have told me: do not cry, because you are not sad!, will rejoice!.! This is not health, sadness has its term and if really want to cure us emotionally you must respect this term, is the so-called mourning which must live so that it actually passes since otherwise it won’t but will grow and even to not to respect it is somatizara i.e. translates into physical illness, since it is a natural energy and has to leave.

Disease: when our reality and our expectations don’t match comes a pain, a frustration here derives sadness and Yes this is respected yet we are in a healthy and natural process will leave him trained and empowered to live a new reality, in other words we have respected our mourning, and this will happen. But that happens do not respect the sadness? That our nature is so recent, comes anger, which is also a natural emotion, anger is socially very punished and therefore not encourage us to live it and we also reprimimos and then begins the emotional illness. Anger is passed to the depression, which because of the great emotional load no power and lives a great apathy, yes the original emotions that are the sadness are not addressed and this box anger deepens and becomes the resentment to bitterness, here life is really weighing nothing motivates, is not possible to relate, or enjoy anything because there is a deep emotional disease called Neurosis which started from not vivid sadness and anger. These stages requires professional help no one only out of all this. If there is no professional help evolves into hatred and this is already serious.

Hatred there are two ways of living it inward and then the person becomes ill seriously here occur so-called incurable diseases, or accidents, or constant of life in professional relationships, economic failures, and even suicide. Or live it was outside and then the person takes all that emotional poison and it is likely to become a criminal, in a social misfit. Healing: Ideally, prevent living early sorrow, mourning, it is not easy I know, yes it’s a very large mourning professional help can make mourning is shorter and less difficult to live and Yes not be fact; never too late, both psychotherapy and Kundalini Yoga are powerful tools to reverse this process since both promote awareness and emotional sanitation.

Mediterranean

85% Of these homes focuses mainly on the Mediterranean coast, Madrid, Castilla y Leon, and some areas of the North. Barcelona is the province that fewer new homes to sell accumulates. The report estimated that the stock will be 186,000 houses in 2015. The surplus of new unsold in Spain is 800,000 units, according to a report on the real estate sector of CatalunyCaixa at end of 2010. This is equivalent to 3.2% of the total Park, and which means that the surplus is kept constant over the same period of 2009, due to both supply and demand. The report highlights revealed that 85% of new housing pending sales in Spain is concentrated mainly in the area of the Mediterranean coast, as well as Madrid, Castilla y Leon, and some areas in the North of Spain.

Professor of applied economics at the UAB and director of the report, Josep Oliver, attributed it to the great weight of second homes and apartments on the coast, especially in Castellon, where the year past increased the Park’s new building at 12,000 units (+ 12.6%), since promotions launched in 2007 and 2008 are being finalized. Toledo, Alicante, Seville, Almeria and Murcia also rank among the provinces with the highest number of new housing by selling, while Barcelona is that fewer pending sales new Park accumulates. That is why Oliver concludes that price adjustment should be radically different to that in the Catalan capital, where missing the offer to existing demand, which on the Mediterranean coast. 138,000 housing units per year in the whole of Spain, the volume of works initiated in 2009 and 2010 conditions an entry in the stock of some 150,000 homes in 2011 and some 125,000 in 2012, figures that are slightly below the forecast of new homes in the medium term, estimated at about 138,000 per year until 2015. Thus, a surplus of 695,000 housing main at the end of 2010 it would be a stock of 186,000 in 2015, and the difference between new homes and surplus absorbed, 198,000 housing between 2011 and 2015, it would be unsatisfied demand, determined by the stock differences between territories. Oliver predicts that from this year removed the stock in most provinces, generating new production needs in a large number of territories, especially in Madrid and Andalusia, and significant imbalances will persist in other areas such as towns of the Mediterranean coast, with a heavy weight of second residence, in Tarragona, Murcia, Castellon and Alicante.

Provide New Functionality

That we are eternal students of architecture, we learned to know the importance that attached to any student or professional application of the method of design of Kussan, from which we start to analyze the different activities that allow us, to perform the zoning within an architectural design, or a pattern of architectural design (the same repertoire of a group of equal custom-made works)both for individual works, and for the large urban architectural ensembles. Classifying as valid method for both scales of work. Many professionals subordinated their knowledge to their experience, and many times not made the implementation of this innovative and scientific method, which many professors of architecture we begin in this complex world of projecting scientifically and not to blossom, so it is always a fun, creative, and enterprising, exercise in our professional work. Before you begin to think with the Kussan method, let’s look at the Argentine method Livyngston: those who have had the opportunity of reading and practicing a method of design of dwellings participatory as the Argentine Lyvingston, may have noticed differences with the Kussan method, because to our view that all the method developed by him, valid on its way to the architectural pattern is its participatory approach, or are: participatory interviews, and appointed participatory games: the type +-(to appreciate what we like about the House and what we like least psychologically), as well as the ideal House (in which the user creates and explains the ideal home of your dreams independent to their economic resources and terrain available), and how you want it your House (or what is named the P.C.which with the help of the architect, it draws as you want initially to the architectural design of your home). So far a great Inter-relationship is formed with the client, that we can discover what bothers him, what thing It makes feel bad inside the House, and discover ideas that the has to your home when it comes to restore it, modify, extend it or make a new home.
