Pearce This thesis analyzes the urban structure development of two Latin American cities through an interactive longitudinal visualization of the Salvadoran cities of San Salvador (the capital of El Salvador) and Santa Tecla. To what extent is a hypothetical model relevant to either of these two cities? How can a longitudinal, interactive visualization assist with an comparative analysis of the relevance of urban expansion models to the development of San Salvador and Santa Tecla? Can such a visualization contribute to the delineation of urban expansion policies for these cities? Archival files and maps were digitized and vectorized to create animated urban evolutions for each city.

  • Cuba GPD CUBA an Exciting Place to Invite and Network with Your South and North American Customers Tuesday 6Th December 2016 Meliá Cohiba Hotel
    In conjunction with: Trends in new technology and design 6th December 2016 Havana - Cuba GPD CUBA An exciting place to invite and network with your South and North American customers Tuesday 6th December 2016 Meliá Cohiba Hotel GOLD SPONSORS: MEDIA PARTNERS: THE CONFERENCE The Glass Performance Days (GPD) is an independent forum dedicated to the development of the global glass industry through education. This is achieved by holding conferences in different countries. Currently the main conferences take place every two years in Finland (where GPD also holds workshops and a glass exhibition). In 2016, GPD will land in the Caribbean Region with GPD CUBA, in conjunction with CUBA GLASS, which will be held on the 6th and 7th December in Havana. Over the years, GPD has organized countless smaller local events, to share the latest knowledge with local specialists who cannot attend the main GPD event in Finland. These events are a great way to inform and educate industry leaders and designers alike as to what the most recent glass technology can offer. These events are also a great way for professionals from around the world to meet and discuss business with local specialists. Following the end of the embargo, Cuba is starting to open up to modernization and development in all sec- tors. Glass is certain to be at the forefront of Cuba’s development and with this a great deal can be done to modernize and recreate this beautiful country. CUBA GLASS is the fi rst international event that not only allows you to help renew, revolutionize and invest in the island but also gives you the opportunity of enjoying this experience with your customers from North and South America.

    Home > Research > Responses to Information Requests RESPONSES TO INFORMATION REQUESTS (RIRs) New Search | About RIRs | Help 10 July 2008 SLV102871.E El Salvador: Changes to and implementation of the Sole Identity Document (Documento Único de Identidad, DUI) Research Directorate, Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, Ottawa Sole Identity Document (Documento Único de Identidad, DUI) The Special Law Regulating the Issue of the Sole Identity Document (Ley Especial Reguladora de la Emisión del Documento Único de Identidad), published in October 2001, governs the provision of the DUI, which has replaced the Personal Identity Card (Cédula de Identidad Personal, CIP) (El Salvador 18 Oct. 2001, Art. 5). The Special Law states that the DUI, mandatory for all adult Salvadorians (ibid., Art. 4), is the official document necessary to identify Salvadorians - in both private and public domains, at home and abroad - in matters related to El Salvador (ibid., Art. 3), including voting (NOTIMEX 10 Oct. 2006). In a 12 June 2008 telephone interview with the Research Directorate, a consular official at the Embassy of El Salvador in Ottawa described the appearance and content of the DUI. The card is multicoloured, contains several security features, and a coat of arms, a Salvadorian flag and a photo of the bearer (El Salvador 12 June 2008). The card also contains a number and expiration date, as well as the bearer's full name (and the names of his or her parents), place of birth, home address, profession, marital status and blood type (ibid.). The consular official added that the card can be read electronically (ibid.). Validity of the DUI The Special Law required the National Register of Individuals (Registro Nacional de las Personas Naturales, RNPN) to begin issuing the DUI on 1 November 2001 (El Salvador 18 Oct.
