title: Todas las Sangres

text:
Every Blood () is the fifth novel of the Peruvian writer José María Arguedas published in 1964.  It is the author's longest and most ambitious novel, being an attempt to portray the whole of Peruvian life, by means of representations of geographic and social scenes of the entire country, although its focus is on the Andean sierra. The title alludes to the racial, regional and cultural diversity of the Peruvian nation. The novel revolves around two fundamental ideas: the danger of imperialist penetration into the country through large transnational companies, and the problem of modernization of the indigenous world.

Plot
The novel starts with the suicide of Don Andres Aragon of Peralta, head of the most powerful family in the village of San Pedro de Lahuaymarca, in the mountains of Peru. His death announces the end of the feudal system that until then has been predominant in the region. Don Andres leaves two sons: Don Fermin and Don Bruno, enemies and rivals, who during the life of their father had already divided his vast property.

The principal conflict revolves around the exploitation of the Apar'cora mine, discovered by Don Fermin on his lands. Don Fermin, a prototypical national capitalist, wants to exploit the mine and bring progress to the region, which his brother Don Bruno opposes. Don Bruno is a traditional landowner and fanatical Catholic, who doesn't want his tenant farmers or Indian slaves contaminated by modernity, which, according to his judgment, corrupts people.

With the arrival of an international consortium - Wisther-Bozart- a dispute over control of the silver mine begins. Don Fermin cannot compete against the enormous transnational corporation, and sees himself forced to sell the mine, which then adopts the name Aparcora Mining Company. Anticipating the need for abundant water to work the mine, the company shows interest in the lands of the town and the neighboring rural communities, requiring that they be sold at ridiculously low prices; this counts on the complicity of corrupt authorities. The company acts as a disintegrating force that does everything necessary to maximize profit, without regard to the damages caused to the townspeople. Then there begins a process of unrest that leads to the mobilisation of peasants led by Rendon Willka, an Indian rebel who has lived in the capital of the country where he has learnt a lot. Under his orders uprisings explode, which are bloodily repressed by forces supporting the government, but which are the forerunners of the final rebellion.

Characters

Main
 Don Andrés Aragón y Peralta is the old man mentioned at the beginning of the story. He is the head of the most powerful family of the village of San Pedro de Lahuaymarca, a typically feudal region of the Peruvian mountains. In his proudest moment, Don Andres captures a lot of land, displacing other big landowners or feudal lords, as well as Indian rebels. Later he becomes an alcoholic and his family environment disintegrates: his children quarrel among themselves and his wife, disappointed by her family, also starts drinking. Before committing suicide by ingesting poison, Don Andrés curses his two sons, Don Fermin and Don Bruno, whom he accuses of illegally appropriating his properties, and in his will, he bequeaths his last possessions to the Indians.
 Don Fermín Aragón de Peralta is a cold businessman, a representative of national capitalism. Ambitious and obsessed by economic power, he aspires to bring economic progress into the mountains, displacing the traditional order. He believes modernization is necessary to achieve a change in Peru, but with a dose of nationalism. However, he cannot compete with a mining transnational to whom he sells his silver mine. With the money obtained he ventures in the fishing industry, buying flour mills and fish canneries in the port of Supe. He also decides to expand and modernize his mountain estate "La Esperanza". At the end of the novel he will be wounded by a shot from his own brother, Don Bruno.
 Don Bruno Aragón de Peralta is the landowner of the "La Providencia" estate, where he has tenant farmers and Indian slaves. He is violent with his workers, whom he hits and whips without mercy, and sexually abuses the women, the latter being his favourite sport. Against the arrival of modernisation, he defends the maintenance of the feudal system, because he believes that only this ensures that his Indians remain "pure", away from the corruption of money, a position with which he confronts his elder brother, Don Fermin. He is also a religious fanatic who considers that the preservation of said traditional system is a divine order that must be carried out. In the middle of the novel, and after knowing and impregnating a half-caste named Vicenta, he produces a change in his behaviour: he dedicates himself to doing good, distributing his lands to indigenous people and helping other rebels in their struggles against the overlords. He ends as righteous, executing the wicked overlord Don Lucas and trying to murder his brother, which will lead him to prison.
 Demetrio Rendón Willka is an Indian or free rebel from Lahuaymarca. He is a serene, wise, patient, lucid, brave, astute, heroic and chaste man. He represents the new consciousness of the Indians, those who expect to break with the antiquated social structure, but preserving its more positive aspects, like the social community, with the aim of counteracting the harmful effects of the imminent modernisation. He represents then an option for development in contrast with the planned modernisation of Don Fermin and the defence of the old feudal system of Don Bruno. Rendon Wilka is the first son of comuneros who arrives in Lima, where he lives in slums for 8 years, working as a road sweeper, servant, textile and construction worker. He learns to read at night-school and spends time in prison, where he has a political-religious realisation. All that experience makes him feel a new man and he returns to his land determined to lead the fight for the liberation of the Indians. He arrives in the town soon after the death of Don Andres and puts himself at the service of Don Fermin as foreman of the mine. Later Don Bruno names him as administrator of his estate "La Providencia". Finally, he leads the uprising of the Indians and his end is heroic because he dies, shot by the forces of order.

Analysis
The novel presents the image of a nation subjected to imperialist penetration and, above all, the problem of modernization of indigenous culture. Arguedas attempts to provide a comprehensive portrait of Peru by the representation of geographic and social settings throughout the country, although the narrative focus is on the sierra. The title of the novel expresses the complex national life of Peru, in which 'all bloods' intermingle and compete with each other harshly. But this fight envelops not only Peru but also an imperialist power seeking to manipulate it.

The confrontation between the forces of modernity and a traditional society is the main conflict that the novel addresses. Its large question revolves around the possibility of achieving genuine national development, with the certainty that a historical era of the country has ended, and that a new homeland must be built on its ruins. The destroyed order is the old feudal order. The alternatives facing the imperialist project range from a utopian return to a feudal order, imagined by Don Bruno as a natural system presided by moral principles, to a proposal of national capitalism, as stated by Don Fermin. In the novel these options are invalidated and the moral and historical legitimacy of the other alternative, represented by the rebel Rendon Willka, is emphasized. This alternative could be summarized by his collectivist sensibility (in the social sphere), in his adherence to Quechua values (in the cultural sphere), and a cautious modernization (at both levels).

Willka's project, however, has some components which are more idealistic than realistic, and contains perhaps an insurmountable failing: it is a project limited to the rural highlands, that distrusts and even rejects participation of the proletariat and calls into question the service of political parties. It is a project more cultural than social (although it brings into relief the importance of collectivist organization under the model of indigenous community), and more ethical than political.

In any case, during the course of the novel a consistent reflection on many aspects of Peruvian reality unfolds: in this process, precisely because it is reflective, the novel observes the impossibility of understanding the national dynamics, made up of familiar oppositions, at the margins of the overall structure of the contemporary world.

Controversy over the work
In 1965 the Institute for Peruvian Studies (Instituto de Estudios Peruanos) organized a series of roundtables to discuss the relationship between literature and sociology. The second of these, held on June 23, devoted itself to the discussion of the novel Todas las sangres, with the participation of Arguedas himself. This event was extremely important because it signified the incorporation of Arguedas' narrative into a discussion of the literature of his time.

The roundtable consisted of leftist intellectuals who were admirers of Arguedas. All of them, some cautiously and others openly, criticized the work because it was thought to be a distorted version of Peruvian society: starting with the description of a caste system which had long disappeared in the whole of the Peruvian Andes, and a primitive and caricatural view of social mechanisms. These reviews were devastating for Arguedas, who, according to Mario Vargas Llosa, wrote later that night these heartbreaking lines:

... it was almost proved by two wise sociologists and an economist, [...] that my book Todas las sangres is detrimental to the country, I don't have anything to do in this world anymore. My forces have declined, I think, inevitably.

Criticism
According to Vargas Llosa, the criticisms that were made regarding the work during the roundtable of June 23, 1965 would be valid from a sociological point of view. Obviously, another point of view would be an analysis of the novel as literary fiction. Vargas Llosa argues that the work is also flawed in this respect, that the description of Peruvian society is profoundly false and unconvincing, not because of distance from objective truth, but because of a lack of internal force emanating from the intricacies of the fiction.

By contrast, the British critic and poet Martin Seymour-Smith praised the novel highly:

"Those who by temperament reject the horrors of machinery and man's misuse of it will find rich reward in this, the most poetic of all novels about 'savages'. If Levi-Strauss is a great thinker, and he is (at his best), then what can Arguedas be? Something infinitely larger, certainly."

Message
Arguedas' novel reveals his proposed solution to indigenous problems: Andean culture must not be destroyed, as part of some or other form of modernization that assimilates. Harmonious thinking with nature is accepted, in order to develop a revolutionary mindset that projects a future of well-being and freedom. The national ideal is that of multivariate Peru, with ecological, multicultural and multilingual diversity.

The Peruvian nation can be seen as being more than a national project; it can be said that there are several national cores, but they are not geographically localizable. In the intellectual underworld of Peru, bound to political power, is a subsidiary Western worldview, strongly refuted and distorted by current social historical reality.

Film adaptation
The film adaptation of the novel was directed by Michel Gomez in 1987. The actors Richardo Tosso, Rafael Delucchi, Pilar Brescia, Andres Alencastre, Oswaldo Sivirichi and Juan Manuel Ochoa appear in the cast.

title: Somme's 2nd constituency

text:
The 2nd constituency of Somme (French: Deuxième circonscription de la Somme) is one of five electoral districts in the department of the same name, each of which returns one deputy to the French National Assembly in elections using the two-round system, with a run-off if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote in the first round.

Description
The constituency is made up of the six cantons of Amiens-I-Ouest, Amiens-III-Nord-Est, Amiens-V-Sud-Est, Amiens-VI-Sud, Amiens-VII-Sud-Ouest, and Boves.

At the time of the 1999 census (which was the basis for the most recent redrawing of constituency boundaries, carried out in 2010) the 2nd constituency had a total population of 99,427.

It contains most of the city of Amiens, plus the village of Boves to its south-east, separated from the city by the Étang Saint-Ladre nature reserve.

Politically the seat has historically favoured the right. Its only left-wing deputy before 2012 had been Jacques Fleury of the PS.

title: Whidden-Ward House

text:
The Whidden-Ward House is a historic house at 411 High Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Probably built in the late 1720s, it is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.

Description and history
The Whidden Ward House is located on the southwest side of High Street, southeast of its junction with Deer Street. It is located in an area known as The Hill, a cluster of historic properties south of Deer Street which was created as part of a road widening project. It is a -story L-shaped wood-frame structure, with a gabled and hipped roof and clapboarded exterior. A single brick chimney is located at one end. Its main facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance flanked by pilasters and topped by a four-light transom and a pedimented gable. The first-floor windows are topped by gables. The interior has a particularly fine carved Georgian staircase, with an arched window at the landing.

The house is thought to have been built in the early 1720s by Michael Whidden, a joiner, and was originally located on Deer Street, an area that was platted for development in 1712. After his death in 1773 the house was purchased by Nathum Ward, who extensively renovated the property, giving it most of its surviving late-Georgian appearance. The only major addition to the house was a 19th-century leanto extension to the rear. The building was moved to its present location in the 1970s, and is now in commercial use.

title: Tropical house

text:
Tropical house, also known as trop house, is a subgenre of house music, and a derivation of tropical music, with elements of dancehall and Balearic house. Artists of the genre are often featured at various summer festivals such as Tomorrowland. The genre was popularized by artists including Thomas Jack, Klangkarussell, Kygo, Klingande, Robin Schulz, Bakermat, Matoma, Lost Frequencies, Felix Jaehn, Seeb and Gryffin. Tropical house hits include Kygo's "Firestone", Klingande's "Jubel", Felix Jaehn's remix of "Cheerleader", Robin Schulz's remixes of "Waves" and "Prayer in C", and Lost Frequencies's remix of "Are You With Me".

The term "Tropical House" began as a joke by Australian producer Thomas Jack, but has since gone on to gain popularity among listeners. The term "trouse" should not be confused with tropical house, as "trouse" is a genre that instead combines the feeling of trance and the beats of progressive house, using electro synths.

Characteristics
Tropical house is a derivation of deep house music characterized by its relaxed and island-inspired melodies which give off a "Caribbean, beach-party vibe.” Like deep house, it features synthesized instrumentation and a four-on-the-floor beat at a tempo of 100 to 120 bpm, slower than average electronic music. The subgenre distinguishes itself through its use of airy synths, melodic rhythms, and tropical instruments, such as steel percussions, trumpets, saxophones, flutes, marimbas, or bongos. Tropical house does not make use of the build-ups and drops seen in EDM, instead featuring calming melodies and soft vocals that are easy to listen to in any setting. It aims to create a laid-back atmosphere evoking the paradisical imagery of an island holiday, typically associated with the tropics. Producers frequently follow up the vocal delivery of the hook with an instrumental break highlighting the melody. Lyrically, songs often talk about happiness, love, relationships, break-ups, and sadness.

While EDM happens mainly in clubs, tropical house is more associated with online platforms as well as outdoor festivals, beach parties and boat raves. Successful producers typically break through on SoundCloud or YouTube where their remixes of mainstream tracks in the tropical style can gather tens of millions of views before they are signed to a commercial label and start producing original singles in the genre.

History
In the mid and late 2000s, Bob Sinclar and Yves Larock created international hits which had many characteristics of tropical house, drawing inspiration from 1980's Hi-NRG music and in contrast with other sub-types of Electronic ("EDM") music of the time. The style was further popularized by Stereo Love, an international hit by Edward Maya, a music producer from the Romanian house scene. In 2012, Unicorn Kid had created tropical rave, a faster form of the genre which would become known as tropical house. However, it was not until 2013 with Klangkarussell's "Sun Don't Shine" and the emergence of producers such as Kygo and Robin Schulz that tropical house became a dance music trend. During 2014 and 2015, producers such as Lost Frequencies, Felix Jaehn, Alex Adair, Sam Feldt, Bakermat, Klingande, Jonas Blue and Faul & Wad Ad would join them with big tropical house hits.< During the mid-2010s, certain tropical house producers would team up with artists such as Justin Bieber and Little Mix. This helped the genre achieve massive commercial success and gave rise to the playlist term of 'tropical pop'.

title: Mike Snelling

text:
Michael Henry Bruce Snelling  (born in 1941) is a former British fighter pilot, test pilot and airline pilot.

Early life
Born in Brighton, Sussex, Mike Snelling was educated at Prestonville School, Brighton and Radley College where he was a classics scholar.

Career
Snelling joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a Technical Cadet, as a member of 8(U) entry at the RAF Technical College  at RAF Henlow in 1959. He read Engineering at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. After post graduate training he was sent for basic flying training. In 1965 he transferred to the RAF General Duties Branch. After advanced flying training he was posted to the Central Flying School and graduated as a flying instructor on the Gnat T Mk 1. After a tour at RAF Valley in Anglesey, he joined No.229 OCU  at RAF Chivenor for Hawker Hunter conversion. He then served as a DFGA (Day Fighter/Ground Attack) Hunter pilot on 208 Sqn at RAF Muharraq in Bahrain.

Test pilot

In 1970 Snelling graduated from the Empire Test Pilots' School 29 (FW) course. He joined A (Fighter Test) Squadron of the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment at Boscombe Down. He specialised in weapon system testing. In 1972 he was appointed Senior Pilot. In 1973 he was awarded the Air Force Cross.

He left the RAF and started work as a test pilot for Hawker Siddeley in 1973 and joined the Harrier project.

He was the pilot that tested the Harrier and Sea Harrier with the ski-jump take-off method in 1977 and 1978, later adopted by the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy. The testing began on 5 August 1977 with Harrier XV281. In August 1978 he became the second person to fly the Sea Harrier when he took XZ450 for its sixth flight at Dunsfold. The aircraft itself had been first flown on 20 August 1978. On 13 November 1978 he was the first person to land a Sea Harrier at sea in the Moray Firth on HMS Hermes. The ship was anchored whilst the trials took place. In 1980 he was awarded the Queen's Commendation for Valuable Service in the Air.

He was the first person to fly the Harrier GR5 (ZD318) on 30 April 1985 at Dunsfold Aerodrome. The GR5 would enter RAF service in July 1987, and was designated as the British Aerospace Harrier II. It was the version of the Harrier that would remain in service until its retirement in 2010. It had a larger composite wing and flap system giving greater range and payload than the previous Harrier.

On 19 May 1986 he was the first person to fly the single-seat British Aerospace Hawk 200 fighter plane on a flight of 1 hour 20 minutes from Dunsfold. He was a main test pilot on the Sea Harrier.

He retired from test flying in 1989.

Commercial Pilot
Snelling joined Air Europe in 1990 and flew Boeing 737 aircraft as a captain on European routes. When that airline failed, he joined Sabena as a contract pilot flying DHC-8 aircraft from Brussels Airport and retired from flying in 1994.

Personal life
Snelling married Jennifer Fox in 1965 in the Spen Valley district in the West Riding of Yorkshire (now West Yorkshire); they have two daughters - Astrid and Heidi. He married Mary Yelf in 1981. He now lives on Guernsey.

title: Satyawart Kadian

text:
Satyawart Kadian (born 9 November 1993) is an Indian wrestler. He first represented India at the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympics where he won a bronze medal in the boys' freestyle 100 kg category. He then represented India in the 2014 Commonwealth Games and won a silver medal in the 97 kg weight class.

Personal life
He is the son of Satyawan Kadian, an Arjuna Awardee and 1988 Summer Olympics Olympian. Having trained in the akhada run under his father, he broke into the national camp in 2012 after a stellar performance at the 2012 Nationals in Gonda, Uttar Pradesh. In 2014, Chief coach Vinod Kumar, who was a teammate of his father's during the 1988 Olympics, is confident that Kadian, competing in a higher weight category will ensure him medals. "It is rare for us to get a wrestler who is competing for medals regularly in the higher weight divisions. We are very lucky to have Satyawart. And the best part is he is only 20 years old. If we keep working on him we are sure he will become one of the mainstays of this team in the years to come."

Satyawart dreams of emulating Olympic wrestler Sushil Kumar in the future.

He is married to Sakshi Malik - another freestyle female wrestler who represented India at multiple occasions.

Career

2010 Youth Olympic Games
Kadian's first major medal at an international event was when he won the bronze medal in the boys' freestyle 100 kg category at the debut Youth Olympics in Singapore, announcing himself to the Indian wrestling community and to the world.

2013 World Junior Wrestling Championships
Kadian rose to prominence in the 2013 World Youth Wrestling Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria when he became the only Indian wrestler to return home with a medal, albeit the bronze one. It was a tough road for the Indian to the semis, having beaten an Iranian and a Kazakh to line up against Viktor Kazishvili of the United States of America. The young wrestler was unable to overcome the American and came up against Ali Bonceoglu of Turkey in the bronze medal match where he succeeded in overcoming the wily Turkish wrestler.

Battling an ankle injury during the semi-final and bronze medal bouts, Kadian said his motivation to win a meal was the lean returns from the wrestling contingent. "The first few days were not good for us. We didn't win a medal in freestyle and Greco-Roman. I wanted to end this barren spell and win a medal at any cost. After the first round I felt in good form. In the bronze-medal match I desperately wanted to register a victory," said the 18 year old in an interview with the Times of India.

In the build-up to the tournament, Kadian trained with Olympic medallists Sushil Kumar and Yogeshwar Dutt at the senior national wrestling camp in Sonepat. Raj Singh, secretary general of the Wrestling Federation of India (at that time) attributed Kadian's success in Sofia to his eagerness to learn and easy interaction with senior wrestlers.

2014 Asian Wrestling Championships
Kadian's first foray into the senior wrestling team earned him immediate rewards. His Round of 16 match-up was against Umidjon Ismanov of Uzbekistan whom he beat 7-3 in the first period itself. He then lost to Magomed Musaev of Kyrgyzstan 3-0 but qualified for the repechage round to face Chanuk Yook of South Korea whom he beat 7-0 in a thumping contest. In the bronze medal match, he was able to overcome Alihan Djumaev of Kazakhstan and won the bronze medal, beating the Kazakh grappler 6-6, with the Indian winning because of last point scored.

2014 Commonwealth Games
Competing in the 97 kg weight class, Kadian's first opponent was Manjula Uduwila Arachchige of Sri Lanka, beating him 4-0 in the Round of 16. He faced Soso Tamarau of Nigeria in the quarter-finals and won 3-1 in a close match. Reaching the semi-finals, Kadian was up against home favourite Leon Rattigan of England whom he closed out with an easy 3-1 win. The finals bout was an exciting clash against Arjun Gill of Canada where the Indian disappointingly lost 1-3 to settle for the silver medal.

2014 Asian Games
Kadian continued to compete in the 97 kg weight class and began his Asian Games campaign with a match-up against  Magomed Musaev of Kyrgyzstan, losing 1-3 in the first round itself. He was able to redeem himself in the repêchage round, beating his opponent Bilal Hussain Awad of Pakistan 4-0 there. That pushed him into the bronze medal match where he lost 3-0 to Mamed Ibragimov of Kazakhstan.

In honour of the Indian festival of Navratri, the 1st Rustam-e-International tournament was held in Katra, Jammu and ended on 22 October 2015. Participants from England, Belarus and Ukraine competed in the tournament which took place in the Vivekanand Stadium in Katra.

Kadian was the 3rd Indian wrestler taking part in the tournament along with Binia Bin and Parvindra. The latter wrestlers beat Ukrainian wrestler Myhailo Datsenko and English wrestler Leon Rattigan respectively, whom Kadian had beaten last year at the 2014 Commonwealth Games. The 21 year old won the title along with a cash prize, a trophy belt and a medal, beating Belarusian wrestler Ihor Didyk.

title: Barry Gutierrez

text:
Ibarra "Barry" M. Gutierrez III (born February 2, 1974) is formerly the spokesperson of then-Vice President Leni Robredo. He is also a law professor at the University of the Philippines College of Law, a public interest and human rights lawyer, and a former congressman.

During his term as Akbayan party-list representative at the Philippine House of Representatives, he introduced 63 bills and resolutions as principal author and co-authored another 128 bills and resolutions. Seven of the bills he principally authored, and nine bills he co-authored, were passed into law.

In recognition of his legislative successes and exemplary public service, Gutierrez was conferred the 2015 "Gawad Lagablab Award," the highest honor given by the Philippine Science High School National Alumni Association to alumni of the school in recognition of outstanding achievements worthy of emulation in their respective fields of endeavor.

Early life and education
Gutierrez was born on February 2, 1974, in Quezon City, Philippines.

Education
An "Iskolar ng Bayan" through and through, Gutierrez is a product of the public school system. He attended the UP Integrated School for basic education and the Philippine Science High School for higher learning. In 1994, he graduated cum laude from the UP School of Economics with a degree in Bachelor of Science in Economics.

Entry to law
Gutierrez entered the UP College of Law in 1994 and graduated cum laude in 1998. AS a student leader-activist, he served as the Philippine Collegians editor-in-chief (1996–1997) and introduced a front-page column entitled "Disturbing The Peace." That column, combined with shifts in editorial direction, helped make the paper more attractive and readable to its primary audience—students of UP Diliman.

He was later fielded—and was elected—chairman of the University Student Council, a year after he headed the Collegian. As a result, this distinction made him part of a small group of UP students who were both Collegian editors in chief and university student council chairpersons including lawyer Tristan Katindig and journalist Malou Mangahas.

Upon completion of his law degree, he took the Philippine Bar Examinations and passed, ranking among the Top Five Percent (5%) of the successful examinees.

In 2004, Gutierrez obtained his Master of Laws (LL.M.) in public service law, specializing in international law and economic and social rights, from New York University (NYU), where he studied under a joint scholarship grant from the Fulbright Foundation and the NYU Global Public Service Law Project. While studying, he interned with the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights in Washington, D.C., focusing on issues involving economic and social rights.

Career

Public interest lawyer and human rights advocate

After passing the Bar, Gutierrez was hired as an associate at Sycip, Salazar, Hernandez, and Gatmaitan Law Office, the largest law firm in the Philippines. He quit a few months later after winning an intellectual property infringement case against a couple who ran a small-time retail operation that sold fake T-shirts.

His resignation was triggered when he later saw the couple after the court rendered its verdict. The wife was reportedly leaning on the shoulder of her husband and business partner, asking him, "What will happen to us now that we have no more money to file an appeal?" Gutierrez later confided to friends that the incident prompted him to ask himself whether that was the reason he took up law in the first place.

Gutierrez then joined the Sentro ng Alternatibong Lingap Panlegal-Alternative Legal Assistance Center (SALIGAN-ALAC) from 1999 to 2000, a non-government organization fighting for the rights of the marginalized sectors and local communities towards the empowerment of women, indigenous peoples, farmers and the other basic sectors, and local communities.

In 2001, he joined the Housing and Urban Development Coordinating Council (HUDCC) as Director IV (Chief Legal Counsel and Spokesperson) to help address the dire need of an adequate and sustainable housing for the urban poor and low-income Filipino families.

Since his return in the Philippines upon graduation from NYU, Gutierrez was granted a fellowship by the Global Public Service Law Project to pursue housing rights advocacy and litigation in the country. He has acted as a technical consultant and adviser on numerous initiatives undertaken by government agencies and legislative offices, principally in relation to human rights concerns. He also served as the chief legal counsel for Akbayan since 2004.

Gutierrez has also handled cases before trial courts, administrative tribunals and even the Supreme Court, involving issues such as the freedom of speech and public assembly, suffrage, housing rights, and adequate regulation for public utilities.

Petition vs. the Marcos Interment at the Libingan ng mga Bayani

On August 19, 2016, Gutierrez as Lead Counsel of the human rights victims during the Martial Law field a Petition before the Supreme Court to deny the interment of former dictator Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan ng mga Bayani (LNMB) - a dishonorable act considering that the former dictator was a criminal, plunderer and a human rights violator. On November 8, 2016, the Supreme Court voting 9-5 allowed the burial of Marcos at LNMB on the basis of their claim that they do not have jurisdiction over the case. Speaking on the ruling, Gutierrez expressed his dismay that the Supreme Court chose to seek refuge behind the political question doctrine instead of exercising its power as the arbiter of last resort to ensure that the grave human rights during the dark years of the Marcos regime will not be repeated.

Under secrecy, the Marcoses were able to have the late dictator buried at the LNMB on November 18, 2016, despite the fact that the Supreme Court decision was not supposed to be final and executory until 15 days after its announcement on November 8, 2016. The burial has since sparked a series of protests.

Withdrawal of the Philippines from the Rome Status of the International Criminal Court

On August 29, 2018, Gutierrez acted as counsel for the Petitioner-Senators in the case they filed before the Supreme Court challenging the validity of the Philippines’ withdrawal from the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in March 2018. The ICC withdrawal came a month after the Prosecutor of the ICC, Fatou Bensouda, opened the Preliminary Examinations into the situations in the Philippines to analyze crimes allegedly committed in the context of the "war on drugs" campaign launched by the Government of the Philippine with many of the reported incidents involving extrajudicial killings in the course of police anti-drug operations.

Educator

In 2001, Gutierrez joined the UP College of Law faculty as an assistant professor, where he taught courses on Human Rights, Criminal Law, Local Governments, Public Officers and Election Law, and Property Law.

Concurrent with his appointment as a member of the full-time faculty, he also held the position of director of the Institute of Human Rights at the UP Law Center. He is the youngest ever to be appointed to the position.

In 2004, he was granted an appointment as a Visiting Fellow of the Asian Law Institute at the National University of Singapore. His research and teaching interests were International Human Rights Law, International Criminal Law, Property and Housing Law, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, Economics of Law.

Public servant

Throughout his professional career, Gutierrez has held key positions in the government such as being the Chief Legal Counsel of HUDCC and as an associate professor at the UP College of Law and director of the Institute of Human Rights at the UP Law Center.

In 2011, he served as Undersecretary in the Office of the Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs (OPA). He resigned a year later after his successful bid within Akbayan, as a nominee for the May 2013 partylist election.

House of Representatives

On July 1, 2013, Gutierrez was sworn into office as a representative of Akbayan Partylist to the House of Representatives of the Philippines for the 16th Congress, and was assigned as Vice Chairperson of two House of Representatives committees: notably, the committees on Human Rights and the Revision of Laws. He is also a member of eight other committees, namely: Housing and Urban Development, Justice, Health, Local Government, Suffrage and Electoral Reforms, Women and Gender Equality, and Ethics and Privileges.

He was a noted champion of several key legislative reform agenda forward, with special focus on transparency, accountability and participative governance. He became a notable advocate of the Freedom of Information (FOI) bill, Zero Hunger Campaign, Socialized and Adequate Housing, the Equal Opportunity Campaign, and Fair Competition.

Freedom of information

A staunch advocate of the people's right to information, Gutierrez filed the Freedom of Information Bill which seeks to institutionalize greater transparency and accountability in the government to recapture the public trust that has weakened at the onset of the 16th Congress following the uncovering of a multi-billion pork barrel scam, implicating Janet Lim-Napoles in collusion with Senate Minority Leader Juan Ponce-Enrile, Senators Jose "Jinggoy" Estrada, Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr, also referred to as "Tanda," Sexy" and "Pogi," and several other congressional representatives in the alleged misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund scam amounting to Php 10-B.

Budget reform

Gutierrez was among those who for the abolition of the pork barrel system, saying, "[Congress] can no longer shut its eyes to how badly the PDAF has been exploited by the unscrupulous".

He pushed for the adoption of "far-reaching reforms into the budget system" to stem corruption. He also urged the executive to implement a "more sophisticated systems that will make the services more responsive to the needs of the millions of impoverished families all over the country." "Top priority should be transparency and accountability - not only must the government explain to the people how the budget was spent, the people must see for themselves where the money is going and that is only possible through a Freedom of Information law," he said.

The reforms Gutierrez want to introduce to the budget system are 1) institutionalization of people's participation in the budget process, 2) control over the impoundment power of the Executive and 3) reforms in the budget savings and augmentation.

 Budget Reform Bill or House Bill 3128 - The proposed measure seeks to amend or repeal certain provisions of the budget system that heavily favors the executive's discretion in the preparation, authorization, and implementation of the national budget.
 Savings and Augmentation Bill or House Bill No. 2256 - The proposed measure seeks to prevent the unscrupulous practice of realigning so-called savings to dubious allocations.
 Impoundment Control Bill or House Bill 2257 - The proposed measure seeks to regulate the Executive's authority to defer, rescind, and reserve expenditures already approved by Congress.

Manfred Erjautz (born 1966 in Graz) is an Austrian artist.

Life and work
From 1985 to 1990 Manfred Erjautz studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna under Prof. Bruno Gironcoli. He is a member of the Vienna Secession and the .

Manfred Erjautz is a versatile Austrian contemporary artist who works with the genres of sculpture, installation, graphics and photography, in addition to producing art for public spaces. His oeuvre is always considered to be conceptual and is characterized by formal clarity. Logos, bar codes, advertising texts, objects and material with specified content (Lego) are Erjautz' main materials. In 1989, early in his career, the artist already used Lego bricks to create some of his sculptures. The first work made of Lego was a gun used in a fictitious bank robbery filmed by a surveillance camera. By building an electric chair out of Lego bricks in another work he reversed the original meaning of Lego "play well" (Danish: leg godt). A controversial Lego cross, which featured a Lego truck instead of the body of Christ, was installed on the altar of the Jesuit Church, Vienna in 2004. The playful character of the Lego should relativize the seriousness and ceremoniousness of the liturgy (more than vice versa). One day before Christmas Eve 2008, the sculpture was vandalised with parts stolen by unknown perpetrators. It has been relocated to a much safer place on the pulpit.

title: Sakshi Malik

text:
Sakshi Malik (born 3 September 1992) is an Indian freestyle wrestler. At the 2016 Summer Olympics, she won the bronze medal in the 58 kg category, becoming the first Indian female wrestler to win a medal at the Olympics. She is a part of the JSW Sports Excellence Program, along with fellow female wrestlers Vinesh Phogat, Babita Kumari and Geeta Phogat.

Malik had previously won the silver medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and the bronze medal at the 2015 Asian Wrestling Championships in Doha. She is one of the leaders of the ongoing 2023 Indian wrestlers' protest against BJP MP Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh.

Early life
Malik was born on 3 September 1992 in Mokhra village of Haryana's Rohtak district to Sukhbir, a bus conductor with Delhi Transport Corporation, and Sudesh Malik, a supervisor at a local health clinic. According to her father, she was motivated to take up wrestling from seeing her grandfather Badlu Ram, who was also a wrestler. She began training in wrestling at the age of 12 under a coach, Ishwar Dahiya, at an Akhara in Chhotu Ram Stadium, Rohtak. However, there were four people out there namely, Kuldeep Malik, Ishwar Dahiya, Mandeep Singh, and Rajbir Singh who claimed themselves as the coach of Sakshi Malik. Later on, Sakshi herself submitted an affidavit with the sports department, informing that Ishwar Dahiya and Mandeep Singh are her coaches.

Career

Malik's first success as a professional wrestler in the international arena came in 2010 at the Junior World Championships where she won the bronze medal in the 58 kg  freestyle event. At the 2014 Dave Schultz International Tournament, she won gold in the 60 kg category. And after that, she never stopped and maintained her passion and dedication to the game.

2014
Malik began her campaign at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games winning her quarterfinal bout against Edwige Ngono Eyia of Cameroon by a 4–0 margin. In the semifinal, she faced Braxton Stone of Canada whom she defeated 3–1 to assure herself of a medal. Her opponent in the final was Aminat Adeniyi of Nigeria who defeated her 4–0 in a closely contested bout. At the 2014 World Championships in Tashkent, she faced Anta Sambou of Senegal in the Round of 16, and won the bout 4–1. She crashed out of the tournament after a 1–3 loss to Petra Olli of Finland.

2015
At the 2015 Asian Championships in Doha, Qatar, in a total of five rounds in the 60  kg category, Malik battled through two rounds to finish in the third position and claim a bronze medal. In the first round, she faced Luo Xiaojuan of China but was beaten 4–5 by the fall verdict. She came back strongly in the second round to beat Munkhtuya Tungalag of Mongolia 13–0, before losing in the third round to Yoshimi Kayama of Japan. She was able to clinch the bronze medal in the fourth round, beating Ayaulym Kassymova of Kazakhstan.

2016

Malik qualified for the 2016 Rio Olympics by defeating China's Zhang Lan in the semifinal of the 58  kg category at the Olympic World Qualifying Tournament in May 2016. At the Olympics, she won her Round of 32 bout against Sweden's Johanna Mattsson and Round of 16 bout against Moldova's Mariana Cherdivara. After losing to the eventual finalist Valeria Koblova of Russia in the quarterfinal, she qualified for the repechage round where she defeated Pürevdorjiin Orkhon of Mongolia in her first bout. She won the bronze medal after an 8–5 victory over the reigning Asian champion Aisuluu Tynybekova of Kyrgyzstan, despite trailing 0–5 at one stage, in the repechage medal playoff, and became India's first female wrestler to win an Olympic medal.

2017
Sakshi Malik represented 'Colors Delhi Sultans' in the second edition of the Pro Wrestling League held in January 2017. She has also been featured in the women's day campaign called #EveryWomanStrong for her sponsor JSW Group.

2022

In 2022, she competed at the Yasar Dogu Tournament held in Istanbul, Turkey. She won the bronze medal in her event at the 2022 Tunis Ranking Series event held in Tunis, Tunisia. She then went on to win the gold medal at 2022 Birmingham Commonwealth Games.

Personal life
Malik is currently employed with Indian Railways in the commercial department of its Delhi division, in the Northern Railway zone and she is a part of the JSW Sports Excellence Program. Following her bronze medal win at Rio, she was promoted from senior clerk to gazetted officer rank.

Malik has completed a master's degree in physical education from Maharshi Dayanand University in Rohtak. In September 2016, she was appointed as the university's wrestling director.

In an interview shortly after the Rio Olympics, Malik said she was engaged to be married to a fellow wrestler Satyawart Kadian later in 2016. They later got married on April 2, 2017. Satyawart Kadian is also an international level wrestler and has won medals in Asian Games and Commonwealth Games.

In May 2023, she and other people were arrested by Delhi police for taking part in protests.

title: Murder of Aiwa Matsuo

text:
On July 26, 2014, 15-year-old Japanese high school student  was murdered by a 15-year-old female classmate. The killing took place in the suspect's apartment in Sasebo, Nagasaki Prefecture, where Matsuo was beaten with a metal tool, strangled to death, and then partially dismembered and decapitated. In Japan, this case is known as the .

Details
The suspect, who was 15 at the time of the crime, but turned 16 shortly after, allegedly posted details and photos of the crime to the popular Japanese message board 2channel, and told police that, "I wanted to kill someone. I bought tools by myself". The suspect had previously attacked her father with a metal baseball bat, prompting him and her step-mother (her biological mother died the previous year) to move her into her own apartment when she began attending high school. It is believed that before the murder, she attempted to "dissect" a cat and possessed several medical textbooks.

Aftermath
In response to the murder, Fuji TV cancelled the July 31, 2014, broadcast of the fourth episode of the re-edited Psycho-Pass anime, which would have also featured murder of teenage schoolgirls.

The girl's 54-year-old father apologized to Matsuo's family in July 2014 about his daughter's mental health. On October 5, 2014, he was found to have committed suicide by hanging.

In 2014, it was revealed that a psychiatrist who examined the girl had contacted a child consultation center in Nagasaki to reportedly warn officials that "If she is left as she is, she could kill someone." However, this warning was not acted upon, and in 2015, three officials of the Nagasaki Prefectural child consultation center were officially reprimanded by the prefectural government, which stated that the center had "failed to fulfill its duties".

title: Simon Fishel

text:
Simon Fishel (born 29 July 1953) is an English physiologist, biochemist and pioneering in vitro fertilisation (IVF) specialist.

Fishel joined Robert Edwards in 1975 and eventually worked alongside Edwards and Patrick Steptoe, the duo that successfully pioneered conception through IVF, leading to the birth of Louise Brown on 25 July 1978.

Early life and education
Simon Brian Fishel was born to a Jewish family in Liverpool and grew up close to Calderstones Park. His father, Joseph, was a tailor and his mother, Jane, was one of 12 siblings from a family of Eastern European refugees.

Fishel was educated at King David High School, Liverpool, where he became Head Boy.

After securing A-Levels, Fishel initially taught at a school in Speke, on the outskirts of Liverpool. He then studied Physiology and Biochemistry at the University of Salford, graduating in 1975 with double first-class BSc Honours.

Fishel moved to the University of Cambridge after being appointed to a PhD position in virology, but soon decided that a career studying viruses was not for him. He then met future Nobel Prize-winner Robert Edwards, under whose supervision he would gain a PhD and find a field to which he would commit his life's work.

In 1978, Fishel was appointed as a Don at Churchill College, Cambridge and was also awarded the Beit Memorial Foundation Fellowship.

Career
At Cambridge, Fishel worked with Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe for a number of years before the birth of the world's first IVF baby, Louise Brown, in Oldham in 1978. This success made medical history, establishing in vitro fertilisation as a new treatment option that could help infertile couples have children.

While continuing his work at Cambridge, Fishel was appointed as Deputy Scientific Director at the world's first IVF clinic, Bourn Hall, joining Scientific Director Edwards, Medical Director Steptoe and Deputy Medical Director John Webster in 1980.

During these controversial early years of IVF, Fishel and his colleagues received extensive opposition from critics both outside of and within the medical and scientific communities, including a civil writ for murder. Fishel has since stated that "the whole establishment was outraged" by their early work and that people thought that he was "potentially a mad scientist".

In 1981, Fishel, Robert Edwards and other colleagues at Bourn Hall organised the first international IVF conference, which was attended by pioneering clinicians and scientists from around the world.
 Shortly after this, Fishel's colleague Robert Edwards would co-found the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology and establish the journal Human Reproduction to enable greater reporting of developments and breakthroughs in  the field.

Fishel's work has included numerous breakthroughs. One of his earliest contributions was to move away from test tubes (hence the term 'test-tube baby') and towards the use of petri dishes with culture medium overlaid with paraffin oil in the practice of clinical embryology, a step which made it more practical when IVF was eventually used to retrieve multiple eggs during ovarian stimulation for the purpose of producing multiple follicles.

Fishel demonstrated for the first time that human embryos secrete the pregnancy hormone hCG in a 1984 publication with Edwards and Chris Evans in Science that has been cited 196 times and identified by Outi Hovatta as the first description of the potential of IVF and stem cell technology in terms of medicinal benefit. He also demonstrated the need to permanently immobilise the sperm tail for successful intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

In the 1980s, Fishel sought out Falmouth-based micro-electronics firm Research Instruments to help him develop tools for the earliest beginnings of sperm microinjection. However, British regulators would not grant Fishel a licence for a pilot scheme, meaning he had to pioneer the technique, known as sub-zonal insemination (SUZI), in Italy.

In Rome, Fishel and his team reported the first birth from SUZI in 1990, which was televised by Italian television station Rai Uno, and described a clinical pregnancy rate of 15 per cent from 225 SUZI cycles a year later. As the first micro-insemination technique for treating male infertility, SUZI was a novel technology that allowed men with poor semen parameters and no other chance of achieving fertilisation to father their own genetic children. It was licensed as a technique in Britain in 1991, with the first SUZI birth in the UK taking place in September 1992 at the Park Hospital in Nottingham.

Fishel and colleagues went on to offer direct injection of sperm into the cytoplasm of the oocyte, or ‘DISCO’, as an alternative treatment for patients for whom SUZI had failed. These techniques would eventually be developed into intracytoplasmic sperm injection, while Research Instruments would go on to provide IVF equipment and technology to clinics around the world.

Fishel introduced embryo vitrification to the UK in 1991, with the first baby to be born in the country from this technique being delivered in October 1992. However, this procedure was then initially banned by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), a decision later criticised by Fishel when he gave a supplementary memorandum in parliament in 1997 as part of the Draft Human Tissue and Embryos Bill.

Fishel has published more than 200 papers, as well as a number of books, including the 1986 bestseller In Vitro Fertilisation: Past Present and Future. In 1987, he was part of the first team invited by the World Health Organization to introduce IVF to mainland China.

Together with Steven D. Fleming, in 1992 Fishel established the world's first master's degree courses in assisted reproduction technology at the University of Nottingham, where he had already opened a fertility service.

Fishel co-founded independent specialist CARE Fertility in 1997 to provide fertility services to private and NHS patients.

Fishel has received honorary awards from countries such as Japan, South Africa, Austria and Italy, and has advised numerous international governments, as well as the Vatican.

In 2009, he received an Honorary Fellowship from Liverpool John Moores University for his "outstanding contributions to the field of fertility treatment, including embryology and IVF".

Fishel was named at number ten in the '100 hottest health gurus' by women's health and wellbeing magazine Top Santé in its September 2013 issue, selected due to his co-creation of the time-lapse embryo imaging process CAREmaps, a development Fishel himself called the most exciting and significant since he began his career.

In a November 2013 issue of the journal Reproductive BioMedicine Online, Fishel called for the NHS to permit its IVF patients to take part in privately funded trials of new additional techniques, adding that the current position was "preventing progress".

Personal life
Fishel lives in Nottingham and has four children and one grandchild. His second-eldest child is the musician, producer and record label owner Matt Fishel.

In 1993, Fishel was nominated by readers of the Liverpool Echo as one of Merseyside's 'top 100 living legends'.

On 17 October 2000, Fishel was on board the train involved in the Hatfield rail crash. He escaped with minor injuries and helped assist other passengers at the scene before emergency services arrived.

title: Honey-roasted peanuts

text:
Honey-roasted peanuts is a salt-, sugar- and honey-flavored peanut snack food that is provided as a mass-produced product line by several nut and snack food companies, such as Planters, The Sun Valley Nut Co,  and King Nut.

History
Before the 1980s, legumes were glazed before being roasted, resulting in a messy, sticky product that "lost both flavor and color", according to the News and Observer. Planters introduced a honey roasted nut mix in 1985.

In 1987, former North Carolina State University food scientist Bill Hoover, working in his home basement lab after he retired, developed a method to glaze the nuts after roasting. Hoover's method roasts the legumes first, then while the nuts are between 160 and 350 degrees, coats them with the glaze. The resulting product is less sticky and retains freshness longer. Hoover sold the patent to Anheuser-Busch but retained royalties.

Airlines
In the United States, some airlines such as Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines have provided free snack-sized bags of honey roasted peanuts to its customers on domestic flights. This became a longstanding tradition with Southwest Airlines, but in 2018 the company discontinued providing peanuts in the interest of protecting those who have peanut allergies. King Nut has provided honey roasted peanuts and many other snacks to several airlines based in the United States.

title: Somme's 4th constituency

text:
The 4th constituency of Somme is a French legislative constituency in the Somme département. Like the other 576 French constituencies, it elects one MP using the two-round system, with a run-off if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote in the first round.

Description

The 4th constituency of the Somme was radically altered as a result of the 2010 redistricting of French legislative constituencies and as a result is now completely different from the seat which bore the same name between 1988 and 2012. The new seat is closer in composition to the now defunct Somme's 6th constituency.

The constituency runs through the centre of the department but also includes a strip of territory along its southern edge. In its centre the seats surrounds the city of Amiens on three sides.

Notably the seat has changed hands at every election since 1988.
