A Brief Biography of Luis Walter Alvarez

It was the middle of the 20th century, the world was in disorder yet peace as it did its best to recover from World War II. Nations from both sides of what is still considered one of the greatest outbreaks of war in history were not only competing in the air, in the sea, and on land, but also in the field of science. After the war, America made an astutely tactful choice: they took the German scientists for employment in the states. The outcome of this tactic included not only the advantages America saw in the recovery from the war, but also those which have evolved and advanced into many scientific advancements we see today; some of these include the Saturn V rocket, which made the success of the Apollo 11 mission possible. This event, Operation Paperclip, as it was called, was not the only paramount occurrence leading to the success of America’s scientific field, however. The Manhattan Project also led to things we still see today, such as the still-tense subject of nuclear weapons and the aptly following Nuclear Proliferation Act. Simply put, Operation Paperclip and other related events paved the way for many scientific advancements still seen today, and it established the method of working internationally to achieve great things.

Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, also referred to as the father of Mexican independence, began his life on May 8, 1753. He was born on the ranch of San Vincente, the estate of San Diego Corraljo, in the Jurisdiction of Pénjamo, Guanajuato.[1] His parents were Don Cristóbal Hidalgo y Costilla and Doña Ana María Gallaga. Miguel Hidalgo was a Creole, meaning that he was born of pure Spanish blood in a province of Spain.[2] Don Cristóbal and Doña Ana María conceived three more sons subsequent to Miguel. All of their sons were beneficiaries to the reign of Carlos III in Spain. Carlos III allowed admittance of Creoles to colleges and universities, thus inspiring Creole fathers to send their

On September 11, 2001 American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower of the World Center. William Rodriguez, a simple janitor, was considered a hero because he had played an important role in the 9/11 incident. He had helped many people evacuate the building for safety. He bravely led the firefighters up the building unlocking the doors, knowing that the building could have collapsed. He kept on going up the building helping people that needed his help, and as a result, he was able to help hundreds of people survive. Heroes don’t have to be super heroes, they are people who take risk and a lot of courage to help others.

There are millions of undocumented immigrants living here in America. Jose Antonio Vargas is one of them. Because Vargas’s family sent him here at age 12 with fake documents, there is nothing he can do about his illegal status if he wants to stay. After finding out his papers were fake, he has looked for a path to citizenship but has found no viable solution. My evaluation is while he is not legally an American, he pays taxes, grew up in the School System, and has completely immersed himself into our culture with a love for the country. By definition, then, he is an American.

Lastly, Diaz’s account is more credible because his distinctive experiences and he wrote the book to add his experience with the topic. First, he was a child of the Columbus’s exploration year. Then, he joined Cortez during his mission to explore and conquer the new world.

Born in 1912, Chien-Shiung Wu was an overlooked physician who broke a law of physics when contributing to the Manhattan Project in the 40’s! She helped in developing the atom bomb at Columbia University, and ”became known as one of the best experimental physicists of her time”-According to Nina Byers, a retired Physics professor who taught at University of California in Los Angeles.

Leo Szilard was a Hungarian Physicist who dedicated himself to learning how to create a successful chain reaction to make an atomic bomb before the Germans had a chance to do so. Szilard convinced Albert Einstein to help research with him on how to create an atomic bomb. The “Einstein-Szilard” letter, sent to President Franklin D. Roosevelt led to the foundation of research into nuclear fission by the United States government. This ultimately encouraged the development of the program, the Manhattan Project.

In the early 1900’s, one man bested the rival troops and used his intelligence to defeat the oppressive Mexican regime. Doroteo Arango Arámbula, also known as Pancho Villa, was born into a poor family and worked in the fields. Pancho Villa escalated from a peasant outlaw into a well-known revolutionary war strategist and folk hero. Pancho Villa could easily outsmart troops and use his popularity to help his cause for equality. His actions could not atone for any previous transgressions in his life of crime, but his tactics as a revolutionary war commander made him almost unstoppable when it came to fighting for equality. Pancho Villa was an important factor in the Mexican Revolution and its beginnings. He was one of the first

I was born at seven-thirty in Manhattan, New York on October 14th, 2002 to seventeen-year-old, Samantha Souchet and eighteen-year-old, Luis Soto. They were kids having a kid. I was raised by many women on one block. Such as my two great-grandmothers, my grandmother, my mother and my three aunts. I was the only child in the house so I kind of grew up acting like a little adult, which I still kind of act like. You tend to learn a lot of things from living with a bunch of women your whole life. I always speak of all the lessons they taught me but I hardly ever speak of my father. My father is my hero and role model.

Luis Goicochea, is a person has organize and interesting life, in fact, I am personally impress of what this gentleman has done in his life, even more, I want to introduce him to you.

Benito Cardozo contacted me about 10:00 am this morning and said he would bring his uniforms and equipment to 1900 Main about 10:30 am. I met Cardozo around 10:30 am this morning on the side of 1900 Main and received his uniforms and equipment from him. As you are aware, I was recently instructed to assign 2 Investigators in plain clothes to every Metro committee meeting and board meeting until further notice. As before, I still have no idea why we were tasked with sending plain clothes officers to committee meetings much less 2 Investigators, but I followed the instructions. It appears that these additional assignments are detrimental to the follow up Investigations we conduct of criminal incidents that are occurring on the Metro system.

His discovery to radioactivity helped a lot of other scientists. If Henri hadn't discovered it Ernest Rutherford
