Submit a speaking request for Vandana Shiva
By Liz on August 3, 2014 in Uncategorized
Dr. Vandana Shiva trained as a Physicist at the University of Punjab, and completed her Ph.D. on the 'Hidden Variables and Non-locality in Quantum Theory' from the University of Western Ontario, Canada. She later shifted to inter-disciplinary research in science, technology and environmental policy, which she carried out at the Indian Institute of Science and the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore, India.
In 1982, she founded an independent institute – the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in Dehra Dun – dedicated to high quality and independent research to address the most significant ecological and social issues of our times, working in close partnership with local communities and social movements. In 1991 she founded Navdanya, a national movement to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources – especially native seed – and to promote organic farming and fair trade. For last two decades, Navdanya has worked with local communities and organizations, serving more than 500,000 men and women farmers. Navdanya's efforts have resulted in the conservation of more than 3000 rice varieties from across India, and the organization has established 60 seed banks in 16 states across the country. In 2004, Dr. Shiva started Bija Vidyapeeth, an international college for sustainable living in Doon Valley in collaboration with Schumacher College, U.K.
Dr. Shiva combines sharp intellectual enquiry with courageous activism, and her work spans teaching at universities worldwide to working with peasants in rural India. Time Magazine identified Dr. Shiva as an environmental 'hero' in 2003, and Asia Week has called her one of the five most powerful communicators in Asia. In November 2010, Forbes Magazine identified Dr. Shiva as one of the Seven Most Powerful Women on the Globe.
Dr. Shiva has contributed in fundamental ways to changing the practice and paradigms of agriculture and food. Her books The Violence of the Green Revolution and Monocultures of the Mind pose essential challenges to the dominant paradigm of non-sustainable, industrial agriculture. Through her books Biopiracy, Stolen Harvest and Water Wars, Dr. Shiva has made visible the social, economic and ecological costs of corporate-led globalization. Dr. Shiva chairs the Commission on the Future of Food set up by the Region of Tuscany in Italy, she is a Board member of the International Forum on Globalization (IGF), and a member of the Steering Committee of the Indian People's Campaign Against the WTO.
Dr. Shiva has made significant contributions to the areas of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and biodiversity. Through her leadership and commitments, Dr. Shiva and her team at the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology successfully challenged the biopiracy of Neem, Basmati and Wheat. Besides her activism, she has also served on expert groups of the government on Biodiversity and IPR legislation.
Dr. Shiva has campaigned internationally on issues surrounding biotechnology and genetic engineering. She has helped movements in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Ireland, Switzerland and Austria with their campaigns against genetic engineering. In 2003, when the US initiated a dispute against the EU to remove the bans and moratoria on genetically modified crops and foods, Dr. Shiva launched a global citizens campaign on GMOs in the WTO.
Dr. Shiva's contributions to gender issues are nationally and internationally recognized. Her book Staying Alive dramatically shifts popular perceptions of Third World women. She founded the gender unit at the International Centre for Mountain Development (ICIMOD) in Kathmandu, and was a founding Board Member of the Women Environment and Development Organization (WEDO). Dr. Shiva has also initiated Diverse Women for Diversity, an international movement of women working for food and agriculture. The movement was launched formally in Bratislava, Slovakia, in May 1998.
Dr. Shiva is on the National Board of Organic Standards of India. Dr Shiva was appointed to the advisory board of the National Controller General of Accounts from 2013 to 2015. She also works with the state governments of Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar and Uttaranchal for the promotion of organic farming. She has been invited by the Planning Commission to be a member of the expert group on environment, the expert group on nutrition, and the expert group on the voluntary sector.
Internationally, Dr. Shiva serves on Prince Charles's expert group on Sustainable Agriculture and she is a member of President Zapatero's Scientific Committee in Spain. Dr. Shiva advises governments worldwide, and is currently working with the Government of Bhutan to make Bhutan 100% organic. She is also working with the Governments of Tuscany and Rome to create a hopeful and livable future for young people in these times of crises.

So please go to your local polling station today and VOTE!
Please take a minute and vote for Rules for Healthy Living in The UNshow.
Why do I pander for your votes? Because design competitions are an indicator of the broader world. It's the whole big fish/small pond concept. Or the artist working in isolation concept. Take your pick. You have to put your stuff out there and ask, "Am I pushing myself hard enough?" Where should I specifically work on improving?" I don't strive to be "on trend." I strive to produce work that is relevant. My specific goal with this competition is to make the top 25 because that ensures that the completely rockstar judges will see my work.

Popular Music, Conspiracy Theories, and Law Students
I am very sad that I did not find this out until after Conspiracy Theories Month, but now having found it, I can't not share it, because it's just too insane to keep to myself.
So, there's this website called The Vigilant Citizen. One of my classmates linked to it on his Facebook, and knowing him as I do, he's seriously concerned about this, which is scary, as you'll soon see.
If you go into the "About VC" section, at first the author seems fairly reasonable. He's got a bachelor's degree in Communications and Politics! He's "a music producer who has composed music for some fairly well-known 'urban' artists!" He really really wants you to understand importance of symbols! In everything! By the third paragraph it's pretty obvious that the guy is a nut.
My efforts to further understand the forces governing the world lead me to study secret societies, mystery religions, esoteric sciences and ancient civilizations. I've spent the last seven years researching Theosophy, Freemasonry, Rosicrucianism, the Bavarian Illuminati and Western Occultism. These schools of thoughts have many things in common: they are based on Hermetic teachings (Hermes, Thoth, Enoch, Mercury), they attach EXTREME importance to symbolism and they recruit within their ranks the most prominent people of all fields of society: politics, law and public service. The natural result of this phenomenon is the display of occult symbolism in all aspects of society, especially music, movies and buildings. My goal is to bring out the meaning of these symbols in a clear, concise and entertaining way.
The topic my classmate specifically looked at (in his own words, "it's worth another look if anyone is interested in seeing the occult influence over entertainment") was the 2009 VMA awards show. Every year, as most of us know, MTV hosts the Video Music Awards to, I guess, award the best videos of the year (I've never watched it myself, as I find awards shows to be even more vacuous and pointless than reality TV). But, as VC tells us, it's all part of a diabolical scheme to corrupt the youth of the world.
In short (you can real the whole masterpiece here), it goes like this: the entire 2009 VMA awards show was a carefully-staged and ingeniously-disguised occult ritual, meant to surreptitiously open the viewers to evil influences. It included:
A high priestess giving an opening sermon: Madonna's tribute to a fallen saint, Michael Jackson, including an occult prayer (Vincent Price's "Darkness falls across the land" monologue from the Thriller video)
The initiation of a new member of the inner circle, through ritual humiliation (the Taylor Swift/Kanye West fiasco)
A congregational prayer to Satan (led by Jack Black!)
A blood sacrifice (Lady Gaga's performance where she, apparently, appears to be covered in blood, surrounded by a Masonic-themed stage set)
The symbolic initiation of a new member into the Masonic order (Pink)
The acceptance of a new member into the order by the Inner Circle: Beyonce and Taylor Swift's friendly little moment, wherein they hugged while a strange message ("RDFO IL 40 PRO DEL ATO") was projected on the screen behind them
So yeah, at first read it seems like a joke, but the level of detail the author goes into makes it apparent that, no, he actually believes what he's saying, Jack Black (Jack Black! I mean, for God's sake, Jack Black! If I were Satan I think I'd pick a somewhat more sinister minion than Jack Black) really did lead the congregation in a prayer to Satan, the whole show was one giant, coordinated occult ritual. And my classmate believes it, too.
What scares me is that this classmate of mine isn't just some random crazy nutjob wearing an end-of-the-world sandwich board on a street corner. He is an intelligent and educated man who has a Bachelor's Degree, an MBA, and is halfway to earning a JD. I've talked with him at length on a few occasions, and mostly he sounds perfectly normal. But he genuinely believes that there is a giant worldwide occult conspiracy whose aim is the destruction of True Christianity™ and the remaking of civilization into a New World Order, which works its evil into society through music and subliminal messages, and which is insidiously inserting its members into high positions in politics, business, education, and even churches. He genuinely believes that pop music stars such as Lady Gaga are using weird occult mind-control techniques to corrupt our youth. He genuinely believes that Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings were created by occultists to lure in children and open up their minds to Satanic influence. He genuinely believes that the US Government passed a law last year that allowed it to lock Truthers up for life so as to forever hide what really happened on 9/11. He genuinely believes that Jerry Sandusky was able to stay on at Penn State for so many years because he's a member of the Illuminati who have infiltrated every level of American society and keep one another in power no matter what.
And this guy, ladies and gentlemen, is going to be a attorney. You know, we joke about conspiracy theorists, we make fun of the kooky idiots who believe the Illuminati actually exist and the New World Order is real. It becomes less amusing, and more frightening, when you realize that some of the people who believe these things aren't, like I said, random nuts on the street, but are professionals, are politicians, are pastors. Are people, therefore, with actual power and influence. There are whole swaths of American Christianity that teach that the US Government is an evil tool of Satan, that there is a war between True Christianity™ and the US/UN/NWO that seeks to destroy the Christian faith, that everything from public school science class to Barack Obama are all part of a giant, coordinated, interconnected Satanic movement. Yes, they may be a small minority of American Christians, but they are an influential one.
It's all too easy to dismiss this as rank ignorance and uneducated stupidity, but too many people, like my classmate, really do believe this stuff, and that belief influences their voting. So no, I am not concerned about the Illuminati, because they don't exist. I am concerned about the lawyers, doctors, businessmen, politicians, and preachers who believe they do exist.

Horiba Scientific has introduced the Lumetta fixed grating F/2 spectrograph. It is designed to optimally gather light from most fibres and high-angle scattering phenomena. Being an imaging spectrograph, it also enables such techniques as multitrack spectroscopy and fast hyperspectral imaging. With multitrack spectroscopy, multiple independent spectroscopy channels can be measured, either improving sample measurement throughput for similar measurements on different samples or simultaneous measurement of different but complementary spectra, such as photoluminescence and absorbance, from the same sample. It has a scientific Grade 1 CCD deep cooled to –50 °C together with low-noise, 16-bit electronics and signal-to-noise ratio of 1200 : 1. Lumetta also has a flexible signal input interface, accommodating free-space as well as FC, SMA and ferrule fibre interfaces. Furthermore, spectral resolution can be controlled from a selection of interchangeable slits.


CASTRIES, Saint Lucia — The small island nation of Saint Lucia created a big impact at one of the largest celebrations of Caribbean culture in Europe last month.
The small Eastern Caribbean island had a strong cultural presence during the two-day Notting Hill Carnival festival which drew millions on Sunday, August 29 and Monday, August 30 to one of London's most popular tourist attractions, according to the Saint Lucia Tourist Board (SLTB).
Using the huge drawing power of the Notting Hill event the Saint Lucia Tourist Board promoted its own summer carnival which came to a successful conclusion in Castries in July.
The SLTB's UK office, which successfully connected with Saint Lucian associations and friends of Saint Lucia in London to participate in the celebrations, also teamed with Xtreme Carnival – the British arm of the Royalites Xtreme Carnival Band. The six-section, 170-plus member band included SLTB officials, adorned in full costume, reveling in the "Exotic" section.
Saint Lucia's High Commissioner to London Eldridge Stephens hosted the official launch of Notting Hill Carnival 2010 in an event receiving coverage from both print and electronic media in the UK. This complements the positive reviews from a successful UK press visit to the island during July's Carnival season.
The Tourist Board is now preparing for talks with Emporia Brands Ltd., the UK rum distributor for St. Lucia Distillers, to maximize Saint Lucia's presence at Notting Hill's Carnival in 2011. This year, Emporia sponsored a steel pan band and promoted the prestigious Chairman's Reserve and Toz Rum products in London.

Beauty of Messinia

The land of the Olive Tree and Olive Oil

Euripides called Messinia "the land of the good fruit" for its beauty and its fertile rich earth. It yields the world famous Kalamata Olives and Kalamata Olive Oil.
However Messinia is also renown for its natural beauty with the indented shores, sandy beaches, forested mountains and fertile valleys, which coexist with significant archaeological monuments and impressive Venetian fortresses.
People have lived in Messinia since the Neolithic age; however the Mycenaean age was indisputably the golden in Messinia's history and Pylos was the second largest city after Mycenae. On 20th October 1827, the allied fleet fought at Navarino bay, against the combined Turkish and Egyptian fleet, which event essentially signalled the independence of the Peloponnese from the Turkish domination.
Archaelogical Site Ancient Messini
Greek history records the first inhabitants around 2,500 years B.C.
The region was rapidly developed into a significant financial and cultural center of the ancient Greek world. Its wealth, natural beauties and strategic location endowed its people with prosperity and, at the same time, attracting many conquerors.
Land of the Olive Tree
The olive tree, a sacred tree, has been cultivated in Messinia since the 12th century BC. Archaeological excavations in the palace of Nestor, the ancient king of Messinia, have brought to light evidence that show the enormous importance of the juice of the olive tree for the society of the time.
All of Messinia is a vast Olive Grove
Messinia, yields the world famous Kalamata Olives and Kalamata Olive Oil, particularly the Messinia Olive Oil, a 100% pure and natural fruit juice of the highest quality and of unique nutritional value, which has been ranked in the category of Extra Virgin Olive Oil after a series of chemical analysis. (source http://www.messiniaunion.gr/en/).
Prefecture of Messinia
The Prefecture of Messinia has an area 2991 sq. Km. and occupies the southwestern part of the Peloponnese Region. To the north it borders with Ilia and east with the prefectures of Arcadia and Laconia, while to the west, south and a section in the east, the Ionian Sea and the Messinian Bay.
According to the 2001 census, its population rises to 176 876 inhabitants.
Following the recent administrative restructuring of all the prefectures of Greece in the context of the "Kallikrates", the Prefecture of Messinia is divided into the following 6 municipalities:
Kalamata, Messini, West Mani. Trifylia, Pylos-Nestor and Oihalia.
History of Messinia
During the Mycenaean period Messinia dominated the Mycenaean kingdom of Nileidon. According to Homer other ancient traditions, and the excavations at Pylos seems the kingdom of Nileidon prevailed over a large area of southeastern Peloponnese that included the current Messinia, Triphylia and part of Arcadia. The Achaeans who were prevailed over the other tribes the Kafkones and Pelasgians in the area spoke the Greek language of the Mycenaean period and worshiped the gods of the Greeks and local deities. This kingdom finally collapsed after the invasion of area by the Dorians in the mid 12th century BC. It is believed that the leader of the Dorians who occupied Messinia was Kresphontes. The Dorians established their capital in the region Stenyklaro.
Messinia was famed for the fertility of the soil, which led later to the Spartan invasion in the region and at the outbreak of the First Messinian War. The outcome of the war resulted in Messinia being occupied by the Spartans and Messinian population was subjugated to the Spartans and were their Helots. A helot occupied a status "between free men and slaves" and was tied to the land. They worked in agriculture as a majority and economically supported the Spartan citizens.
The Messinians rebelled a century after bringing the outbreak of the second Messinian war. This war also involved other Peloponnese states. The Messinians were allied to the Argives, Arcadians, Sikyonians, Elis and Pisates while the Spartans allied themselves with the Corinthians and the Lepreates. The Corinithians were the sworn of enemies of the Argives and the latter were the enemies of Ilians.
After years of conflict, the Spartans managed to suppress the revolt. The Messinians revolted again in 464 BC. Following the devastating earthquake that struck Sparta the Messinians took the opportunity to revolt. Sparta needed external help from its allies to quell the revolution. The Spartans enlisted the help of Athenian soldiers who were sent to Laconia only to shortly to depart, as the Spartans felt uneasy with the presence of Athenian soldiers in their territory.
Eventually the resistance of the Messinians folden in 460 BC As a result of this defeat many Messinians took refuge in Nafpaktos. Messinia was finally liberated after the campaign of Thebes in the Peloponnese in 369 and 368 BC It was during this time that the new capital of Messina, Messini was founded.
Messinians never acquired great power in the coming years. After the Thebian hegemony they became allies of the Macedonians and later participated in the Achaean League until the conquest of Peloponnese by the Romans.
Medieval and Modern period (Ottoman Empire and Revolution)
The Byzantine era followed and during the 13th century the Messinans were conquered once again by the Franks. Finally in 1498 the region passed on entirely into the hands of the Turks.
From 1769 to 1770 Messinians and Maniates participated in the failed Orlofika movement; The Turkish reprisals were swift and devastating resulting in a large loss of life on the part of the Messinian population.
On March 23, 1821 Gregory Papaflessas declared the revolt against the Turks and liberated Kalamata. This was a major event in the war of independence, making Kalamata the first Greek city to be freed from the occupation of the Ottoman Empire. It remained free until 1825, when Ibrahim made his first foray.
Despite the heroic resistance of the Greeks, Ibrahim destroyed the whole of the Peloponnese which included the massacre of its population and the burning of its fruit and olive trees.
Finally on October 20th 1827, the Turkish-Egyptian alliance was defeated by the allied fleet at the Bay of Navarino. This led to the liberation of the Peloponnese and the creation of the new Greek state.

Q: No mouse and wireless on Ubuntu 14.04 after full battery discharge After I returned with charger after an hour and booted dead laptop (Lenovo T430), first noticed my trusted wireless USB mouse was dead, after logging in I was greeted with "Software rendering mode" and finally no wireless adapter - just cable option. Looks like driver is not loaded at all.
Before bleeding the battery dry everything was fine. That's so strange, as I had hard reset this laptop several times.
I suppose some module loading config went down, how could I restore? Linux kernel 3.13

Maryland women's basketball faces another regular season gauntlet after a win streak
Katie Benzan dribbles the ball and talks to her teammates during Maryland women's basketball's 70-43 win over Wisconsin on Feb. 9, 2022. (Julia Nikhinson/The Diamondback)
Opening the season as the No. 4 team in the country, Maryland women's basketball rattled off six consecutive wins — the last of which was a thrilling, 79-76, victory over then-No. 6 Baylor.
Although the Terps carried heavy momentum into their weekend trip to the Bahamas four days later, they fell flat. Coach Brenda Frese's squad lost to top-10 teams NC State and Stanford by 18 points each. From there, Maryland continued to beat the teams they were supposed to beat, yet couldn't get it done against ranked opponents.
Since its shorthanded win over the Bears, Maryland has lost all four of its ranked matchups. Following consecutive losses to Michigan and Ohio State in the middle of Jan., the Terps fell to as low as No. 17 in the AP Poll.
But since those two defeats, Maryland has once again found its rhythm — albeit against unranked opponents. Its most recent win over Wisconsin, 70-43, marked its sixth straight and the least amount of points it's allowed on the season.
"I think we're coming into everything that we've been working on all season," Chloe Bibby said. "I think our defense is really coming together and that's making our offense glow, so we're really excited for these next four games coming up."
The Terps are back in the same position they were in when they last won this many games in a row — on the doorstep of an essential stretch that will work to validate and secure the team's potential in March.
[Maryland women's basketball dominates Wisconsin for sixth straight win, 70-43]
Road matchups against No. 25 Iowa and No. 4 Michigan, and home splits against No. 21 Ohio State and No. 7 Indiana await. But much like the last time it was preparing for a slate of multiple ranked opponents, Maryland will be limping in.
Katie Benzan and Faith Masonius were out of the Baylor game due to COVID-19 protocols. Diamond Miller made her second appearance of the season against the Bears, only to reaggravate her knee and miss the next month.
Now, Masonius has been ruled out for the season with a torn ACL and Ashley Owusu is day-to-day with an ankle sprain.
With so much turmoil this season, it's no surprise that Frese's team has had its share of lowlights. But all of the obstacles Maryland has faced and continues to face has molded it into a fierce competitor.
"We've been able to use this stretch to build confidence," Frese said. "With some of the adversity that we've had being able to kind of rebuild some of those rotations and our lineups."
That confidence is across the board. From individual performances to collaborative defensive clinics, it is time for Maryland to stake its claim as a top national title contender once again.
[Shyanne Sellers' confidence has paid dividends for Maryland women's basketball]
"We have four great, special seniors and being able to have those girls and doing everything for them right now, you don't get a good group like this pretty often," Angel Reese said. "Being able to have this group two years in a row [has been] really, really fun."
While a trip to the big dance is all but guaranteed, the Terps can salvage their seeding over the next few weeks. On the flip side, Maryland could slip further down the seed line after having already lost to three of its final four opponents.
It starts with Caitlin Clark and Iowa on Feb. 14. An offense as potent as the Hawkeyes' presents a real test for Maryland's defense — something unforeseen since hitting its stride over the course of this win streak.
But with the confidence the Terps are playing with on both sides of the ball, injuries and all, they should be a tough out moving forward, even if the elusive seventh straight victory is denied once again.
"We get to play the other three that we kind of fumbled a little bit, so we're excited to be able to come up against that," Bibby said. "I think since then we've improved … we're stronger now and I feel confident about it."

Dugan Centre of Attention?
Jack Brady NRL.com
Mon 11 Jan 2016, 02:45 PM
St George Illawarra coach Paul McGregor has confirmed Josh Dugan's desire to move to the centres in 2016.
After a successful shift to the three-quarters during the 2014 season, Dugan returned to the custodian role for the 2015 season in its entirety with Jarryd Hayne's move to the NFL ensuring the 25-year-old also made the New South Wales No. 1 jumper his own.
Off-season surgery on a bulging disc in his neck is also believed to have played a part in Dugan's thinking.
"I think Josh would like to play centre to be honest with you," McGregor confirmed on Tuesday, the Dragons' last day of pre-season training for the year.
"We're moving him around at training at the moment. Josh is a typical, big, hard-running centre. He's 103, 104kg and he likes positioning himself on the right-hand side of the field.
"Obviously that being said he is a State of Origin fullback and Australian winger at the moment, so his versatility is outstanding.
"To have a player of that calibre who has really conquered Origin, International and club football in three different positions is a good player to have."
Helping Dugan's cause is the signing of Storm utility Kurt Mann for the 2016 season as well as the return of Adam Quinlan – who replaced Dugan at fullback in 2014 – who re-joined the side after a stint with Super League outfit St Helens.
"Kurt's obviously brought a point of difference to us where he can play in the halves or out the back – something we didn't have last year," McGregor said.
"We have young [Adam] Quinlan back here as well who played 15 games when Josh played in the centres the year before too."
With Tim Lafai signing on with the Dragons a fortnight ago and Kiwi international Jason Nightingale remaining at the Red V, the club's outside back depth is arguably the best it's ever been.
Considering 2015 regulars Euan Aitken and Peter Mata'utia will have to fight for their spots is a testament to this – the young duo having to contest for spots alongside Kiti Glymin, Dylan Farrell and Kalifa Faifai Loa.
"I think our depth is a lot better than what it was last year even with an 18 player turnaround. It's interesting you know where our depth was and where it is now in key positions like the backline," McGregor said.
"We have more experience in key positions where we weren't fortunate to have previously and that's the key to success to be honest – you have to have depth – and our balance is a lot better now than it was 12 months ago.
"We found out this year when we lost a couple on the trot that we didn't have enough players and when we had numerous injuries we weren't sustainable."

73: I don't know where to start?


THE night Curtis Woodhouse achieved his dream and won the British title was supposed to be the final chapter in the former footballer's fairytale. In February, moments after defeating Darren Hamilton to land the light-welterweight belt, the former footballer confirmed he was retiring from the ring. The title-winning victory had fulfilled the promise he made to his late father. He could bank the hefty windfall he won by (allegedly) betting on himself to rule his land. It was supposed to be the ultimate happy ending.
Within a few days the bruises and cheers of victory started to fade, and Woodhouse began to have second thoughts about his decision. In June, he returned, for just one more fight. That old promise. One more fight. One more hit. One more high. And then I'll give it up for good.
He was soundly beaten by Willie Limond over 12 rounds. At 34 years old, with a bank balance and a fully checked list of spectacular personal goals, it really did feel like Woodhouse was ready to walk away. But in boxing, no one is ever truly ready to walk away.
But long-time promoter and manager David Coldwell, who guided Woodhouse along a rocky road to the top, will not stand by his side anymore. Coldwell made no secret of the fact he wanted Curtis to retire after the Hamilton fight, and although both sides can confirm they are still close friends, they will not be working together as the fighter embarks on yet another chapter.
"Coldwell Boxing's goal when working with Curtis Woodhouse was to deliver him the British title," the promoter explained in a statement. "The crossover from footballer to boxer was one that came with several problems but ourselves and Curtis overcame them all and we achieved our mission when Curtis defeated Darren Hamilton to realise his dream. Coldwell Boxing have today released Curtis from promotional and managerial contracts.
"My time with Curtis as trainer, manager, promoter and friend is a period I will always recall with great fondness and the setbacks he overcome to become English and British champion will always fill me with immense pride. Wins against the likes of Dave Ryan and Hamilton proved that Curtis was an accomplished domestic campaigner and his ability to bounce back from devastating defeats against Frankie Gavin, Dale Miles and Derry Mathews proved that he was an absolute warrior.
Woodhouse is determined to surprise us all again. The odds are against him again, but after what his bloody-mindedness has achieved to date, perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to write him off.
But in boxing, happy endings rarely happen once, let alone twice.

Centro also known as Downtown Rio is the most important region and financial hub of Rio. Eletrobras, Vale and Pertrobras are key Brazilian companies whose headquarters is situated here. The city's prominent churches, monuments, museums and squares are also found here. Lapa, a funky neighborhood is in Centro. Hence, the Centro-Lapa area is a historical center of Rio.
In the Centro-Lapa region you will find the 'National History Museum' which is regarded as one amongst the finest museums in Rio. It exhibits about 250,000 relics that cite Brazil's history. The 'Museu de Arte Moderna' although destroyed completely in 1978, houses about 11,000 pieces which include the works of Bruno Giorgi and Maria Martins. The Museum also conducts special photography exhibitions and film festivals.
Formerly the head office of 'Banco do Brasil', the 'Centro Cultural do Banco do Brasil' in Centro- Lapa, is an opulent structure which is now used as a cultural center. This domed building should be in your list of visits. The CCBB is today a key cultural center in the city with three theatres, a bookstore, a video hall, two auditoriums, a coffee shop and a restaurant.
'The Navy Cultural Center' in Centro-Lapa is assured to delight marine and naval enthusiasts. This Center situated on 'Av. Alfredo Agache' has beautiful models of wartime ships. Outside the Center you can find a destroyer used in the second World War and a submarine of the 1970s.
Brazil has the world's largest number of Catholics hence Rio has numerous churches with great architecture. In Centro-Lapa is the 'Igreja Nossa Senhora da Candelaria', a legendary church. It is said that a sailor along with other Spaniards in a ship called Candelaria pulled through a heavy storm and pledged to construct a church in gratitude. This spectacular church in Centro-Lapa has Italian marble, bronze pulpits and windows of stained glass.
'The Convento de Santo Antonio' also in Centro-Lapa is Rio's oldest church built in 1620. It boasts of gorgeous ceiling frescos and marble statues. 'The Catedral de Sao Sebastiao do Rio de Janeiro' is also known as Catedral Metropolitana. This is one of the great examples of Brazilian architecture. Four massive windows of stained glass encircle the church and diffuse in sunlight. The Archbishop's house is in this Cathedral in Centro-Lapa.
Situated in the center of the metropolis' old seafront, is Rio's key square the Praca XV. This is a historical milestone of Centro-Lapa where emperors and governors lived and the Brazilian nation was proclaimed on November 15, 1889. Kings Dom Pedro I and II were crowned here. Built in 1743, the Praca Imperial is the dominant structure in the square. Portugal's royalty resided in this palace. Today, the palace hosts exhibits of contemporary art, apparatus from ships and ancient weapons. Overlooking the palace courtyard is a coffee shop and eatery called Bistro do Paco. Beside the Paco Imperial is 'The Tiradentes Palace' with Greek columns and a huge dome. Brazil's legislative assembly is here and also a statue of Joaquim Jose da Silva Xavier, an important representative of the revolution.
The 'Ilha Fiscal Palace is in the Bay of Guanabara off Praca XV in Centro-Lapa. This ceramic castle in green has a fairytale ambience. But it was constructed to be the head office of the country's Customs Service. The island is famous for having the final official ball of the Empire before it became a republic.
Centro-Lapa is the hub for music and bookstores. 'Emporio Musicale' is a music lover's dream. You can get innumerable old records of Brazil's music or some classic samba music. Another excellent music store in Centro-Lapa is 'Casa Oliveira' which sells music that covers the rhythm section of the Carnival parades. You can also get a variety of musical instruments here.

'Livraria Rio Antigo' on 'Rua do Rosario' is a 75-year old store that specializes in historic and rare books. Auctions of invaluable books are held periodically.
Centro-Lapa has a wide selection of cafes and restaurants. 'Cais do Oriente' restaurant is a fine place to dine. It is built on a renovated 19th century depot. You'll enjoy the serene music in the backdrop that offers a soothing effect. The interior of the restaurant is made of wood and brick and together with the wicker furniture gives it an antique look. This expensive restaurant serves both Mediterranean and Eastern dishes.
From its commencement in 1894, the 'Confeitaria Colombo' confectioners in Centro-Lapa has retained its essence, that of quality and service while preserving the artistic heritage.

The Carnival in Rio is the main reason why tourists flock to this part of the world. The Carnival is the key event in Rio and Centro-Lapa as in the other neighborhoods.

Diagram tracks the history of actions that are performed after initializing the diagram and provides support to reverse and restore those changes.
Diagram provides built-in support to track the changes that are made through interaction and through public APIs. The changes can be reverted or restored either through shortcut keys or through commands.
Note: If you want to use Undo-Redo in diagram, you need to inject UndoRedo in the diagram.
Undo/redo commands can be executed through shortcut keys. Shortcut key for undo is Ctrl+z and shortcut key for redo is Ctrl+y.
The client-side methods undo and redo help you to revert/restore the changes. The following code example illustrates how to undo/redo the changes through script.
When a change in the diagram is reverted or restored (undo/redo), the historyChange event gets triggered.
History list allows to revert or restore multiple changes through a single undo/redo command. For example, revert/restore the fill color change of multiple elements at a time.
The client-side method startGroupAction is used to notify the diagram to start grouping the changes. The client-side method endGroupAction is used to notify to stop grouping the changes. The following code illustrates how to undo/redo fillColor change of multiple elements at a time.
// Updates the fillColor for all the child elements.
Diagram provides options to track the changes that are made to custom properties. For example, in case of an employee relationship diagram, track the changes in the employee information. The historyList of the diagram enables you to track such changes. The following example illustrates how to track such custom property changes.
Before changing the employee information, save the existing information to historyList by using the client-side method push of historyList. The historyList canLog method can be used which takes a history entry as argument and returns whether the specific entry can be added or not.
The following code example illustrates how to save the existing property values.
canLog in the history list, which takes a history entry as argument and returns whether the specific entry can be added or not.
The historyList undoStack property is used to get the collection of undo actions which should be performed in the diagram. The undoStack/redoStack is the read-only property.
The historychange event triggers, whenever the interaction of the node and connector is take place.
The stackLimit property of history manager is used to limits the number of actions to be stored on the history manager.
You can retain a selection at undo/redo operation by using the client-side API Method called updateSelection. Using this method, we can select a diagram objects.

My Wish for 2016: We Finally Get a President Who Doesn't Kiss Wall Street's Rear End
Is there any hope that we might actually elect a president with the mandate and courage to take down Wall Street instead of kissing its rear end in humiliating obeisance?
The 2016 presidential election may be far away to those obsessed with the news cycle, but it's not too early to express one single hope: that we finally elect a president who doesn't kiss Wall Street's rear end every single day for four/eight years running. It's not difficult, folks; it's either/or. Either the President is willing to take down Wall Street or he/she is kissing Wall Street's rear end. There is no middle ground.
Either the next president issues an executive order (or whatever it takes) to enact these four administrative rules, or he/she is kissing Wall Street's rear end every single day of his/her administration.
1. Every position in any tradable security or financial instrument must be held for a minimum of one minute.
2. A transaction fee payable to the U.S. Treasury will be levied on every order when placed, regardless of whether it executes or not or if it is cancelled, of all tradable securities and financial instruments, including those privately exchanged: $1 for every transaction of less than $100,000 in value, $10 for every trade over $100,000 but less than $1 million, $100 for every trade over $1 million but less than $10 million, and $1,000 for every trade over $10 million.
3. All tradable securities and financial instruments must be marked to market at the close of every trading day. This includes derivatives, credit default swaps, mortgage-backed securities, etc.
4. All transactions must be transacted on public exchanges with a transparent bid/ask.
Order the F.B.I., SEC and other law enforcement agencies of the Federal government to prioritize enforcement of all existing securities and banking regulations.
Just four easy-to-understand simple rules. Without these rules, Wall Street remains the Monster Id of American ambition, a vast legal looting machine parasitically sucking the U.S. economy dry and distorting not just financial markets but the political process and the incentives and values that motivate every participant.
Here's a brief history of the past two presidencies. The chickens finally came home to roost for Wall Street and the banks in 2008, and President Bush had a golden, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expose Wall Street and the banks to real capitalism, i.e. you're insolvent, you go bust, your assets are auctioned off.
Instead, he obediently bent down and kissed Wall Street's rear end, approving trillions of dollars of taxpayer-funded bailouts. Oh dearie-dear, the ATMs might not work? Really? Then why does the FDIC have the power to take over busted banks and keep them operating while their assets are liquidated in an orderly fashion?
It was never about debt-serfs not being able to get cash from ATMs. It was always about saving the gargantuan fortunes of financier skimmers, scammers, parasites and predators.
President Obama entered office with a mandate to take down Wall Street and the Too Big to Fail banks. He also refused to expose Wall Street and the banks to real capitalism. He too has bent down and kissed Wall Street's rear end every day of his presidency.
It's not complicated, people. Either enact these four simple rules or remain on your knees kissing Wall Street's rear end. Either the parasites and predators have a free hand, and the incentives for corruption and legal looting remain firmly in place, or Wall Street is taken down by enforcing four simple rules--rules that have no impact on legitimate, productive companies and investors in those companies. These four rules would only impact financier skimmers, scammers, parasites and predators.
Is there any hope that we might actually elect a president with the mandate and courage to take down Wall Street instead of kissing its rear end in humiliating obeisance? The only way such a miracle could occur is if the voters demand it. Sadly, most voters are as morally blind as the people they elect; either they're complicit in the rigged casino (i.e. they're hoping to share in the spoils via their pension, IRA, 401K, etc.) or the corruption and rot has seeped so deep that the nation's moral compass is spinning aimlessly.

La lagotrice di Humboldt o scimmia lanosa bruna (Lagothrix lagotricha Humboldt, 1812) è un primate platirrino della famiglia degli Atelidi.

Distribuzione
Vive in Sud America settentrionale, nella zona fra l'Orinoco a nord ed il Rio delle Amazzoni a sud, compresa politicamente fra Colombia sud-orientale, Venezuela meridionale, Brasile e parte interna di Ecuador e Perù. Vive nella foresta pluviale primaria e continua, fino a un'altezza di 3000 m.

Descrizione

Dimensioni
Misura circa un metro e venti di lunghezza, per un peso che raggiunge i 10 kg.

Aspetto
Il pelo è corto, folto e composto prevalentemente da sottopelo, di colore grigio, bruno o rossiccio a seconda dell'individuo: negli individui più anziani sono frequenti frange di pelo più lungo su ventre ed avambracci. Generalmente, la testa ed i fianchi sono più scuri rispetto al resto del corpo, mentre la zona ventrale è più chiara. Generalmente nella zona andina sono più comuni animali neri e grigi, nella zona amazzonica sono più comuni animali olivacei a sud e bruni a nord ed in Ecuador e Colombia i gruppi sono quasi sempre costituiti da animali di varie colorazioni.
La testa è grossa ed arrotondata, con la faccia nuda e nera: le orecchie sono piccole e le sopracciglia assai pronunciate. Il ventre è piuttosto pronunciato.
La coda è spessa e muscolosa alla base, ma tende ad assottigliarsi man mano che si va verso la punta. Anche gli arti sono molto muscolosi, anche se non lunghi come quelli delle scimmie ragno: essi presentano mani con dita corte e tozze ed unghie appuntite.

Dimorfismo sessuale
I maschi sono in genere più grandi e pesanti delle femmine a parità d'età: possiedono inoltre canini più sviluppati.

Biologia
Si tratta di animali diurni ed arboricoli: tuttavia, sporadicamente scendono al suolo. Vivono in gruppi che comprendono dai 10 ai 70 individui: i gruppi sono formati da aggregati di nuclei familiari, e tanto più sono grandi in termini numerici, tanto più è probabile che durante il giorno si separino, per poi riunirsi al calar della notte per dormire. All'interno dei gruppi sono presenti numerosi maschi, che a volte possono interagire violentemente fra loro, scuotendo rami, defecando ed emettendo vocalizzazioni aggressive simili all'abbaiare di un cane di media taglia.
Questi animali comunicano intenzioni e cambiamenti anche sottili d'umore tramite una varietà di espressioni facciali, posture del corpo e vari tipi di vocalizzazioni: a differenza degli altri Atelidi, gli animali di questa specie sono molto dediti al grooming, anche al di fuori del periodo riproduttivo.
Gli individui dominanti sono soliti sfregare il proprio petto contro rocce e tronchi appena giungono in un nuovo territorio, dopo aver accuratamente annusato e leccato la zona per assicurarsi che non sia la patria di qualche altro gruppo. Dopo ogni sfregamento, l'animale (quasi sempre un maschio) annusa accuratamente il sito dove si è sfregato.
Il territorio di ciascun gruppo vari fra i 5 e gli 11 km², a seconda della disponibilità di cibo, e nelle parti periferiche può sovrapporsi a quello di altri gruppi: non è infrequente, soprattutto per le giovani femmine, lasciare temporaneamente il proprio gruppo per passare del tempo con altri gruppi confinanti.
La carne di questi animali è considerata una prelibatezza dagli indios (è la specie di scimmia più cacciata dell'America Meridionale), che inoltre utilizzano le pelli per decorare i muri o per fabbricare degli strumenti musicali detti cuíca. Gli indios ritengono inoltre questi animali dei protettori della casa e sono perciò soliti catturarne esemplari giovani per tenerli come animali domestici o tenere in casa degli esemplari impagliati.

Alimentazione
Si nutrono principalmente di frutta, ma non disdegnano di mangiare anche foglie, semi ed a volte anche insetti (soprattutto le popolazioni amazzoniche): i semi vengono consumati in particolare quando la frutta non è reperibile, mentre le foglie costituiscono meno del 20% della dieta.
Gli individui dominanti sono soliti sottrarre il cibo a quelli di rango inferiore.

Riproduzione
Il ciclo estrale dura circa un mese: il periodo di calore dura 3-4 giorni. L'accoppiamento può avvenire dopo che la femmina indica la propria disponibilità alla copula al maschio.
La gestazione dura poco più di sette mesi, al termine dei quali viene dato alla luce un unico cucciolo che viene allattato per circa un anno, anche se diviene piuttosto indipendente già a partire dal quinto mese di vita. I giovani maschi diventano maturi sessualmente attorno al quinto anno d'età, mentre le femmine sono più tardive e maturano mediamente verso il settimo anno. Una femmina si riproduce in media una volta ogni due anni.

The Puerto Rican artist, Lary Over is one of the new talents of the urban genre who have given more to talk about, not only for becoming a true musical revelation, but for their particular behavior and bizarre ways of dressing. 'The Joker' of Trap, currently belongs to the musical company Carbon Fiber Music, which leads Farruko, who has also sponsored Lary Over in his musical career. With its new single, 'Medusa', Over has become a trend in social networks, with very few weeks on YouTube his video has surpassed 5 million views.
Currently Lary is on the 'TrapXFicante Tour' in which they are also Farruko, Ñengo Flow, Jacob Forever among others, who are performing in the United States. They recently acted in New York and Miami and they still need to visit places like Chicago or Los Angeles since the tour ends on September 10th.
Also, Lary Over has achieved to be the focus of fashion for his colleagues for his constant changes of look, divers haircuts, and different colors in his hair. Due to his anarchic attitude it was expected that his fans in his beginnings will begin to call him 'The Joker', the archrival of Batman in the DC Comics franchise. "It all started when I painted my hair turquoise, and when I took the picture, the hair came out green, and as people know that I'm extroverted, began to say that I looked like to The Joker, and I thought, this is going to stay, Lary Over, 'The Joker'", commented the Puerto Rican artist about his nickname.
Let's look at some changes in the look of one of the artists of the urban genre with greater projection today, and has achieved to influence some colleagues like: J Balvin, Farruko or Bad Bunny.
In his beginnings, Over knocked on the door of several record labels, including Mas Flow Inc, record label of Luny Tunes, unfortunately he didn't get an answer until he ran into Farruko. At that time, was normal to see him with a much more rapper look and wearing basketball jerseys and with his light brown hair.
Already under the baton of Farruko, Lary Over dyed his hair in black and began to tattoo, something that would be the common denominator throughout his musical career, also the use of dark glasses began to be trademarked by the artist.
By early 2017, 'The Joker' decided to use some black dreads. Lary Over is a fan of soccer, therefore, is usual to see him wearing different shirts from teams like Real Madrid, New York City or the coat of Colombia Selection.
In April, Over began to dye his hair of green color, to resemble more and more to his nickname of 'The Joker', the sunglasses disappeared to have glasses similar to which the ex-Beatle Jhon Lenon used. Not to mention that the tattoos have always accompanied the artist, in his right arm has tattooed a Harley Queen, wife of The Joker, and in his chest has the singers Selena and Hector Lavoe, because they were the favorites of his mother and his grandfather respectively.
In his most recent outfit, the Puerto Rican continues with his green hair, however, the small dreadlocks disappeared to give way to a smooth hair and shaved from the sides. This last outfit has been fundamental to promote his album 'Medusa', in which appears a baby disguised as The Joker playing with a snake.
We hope that Lary Over keep revolutionizing the urban genre, not only with his music, if not with his performances and videos that are trend in social networks, his more than 850 thousand followers in Instagram prove it, we will see what will surprise us 'The Joker' Of Trap.
