Multiculralism: Just A Thought
In a world full of different people, in a world full of money, so rich in Nature and diversity, I feel that same world is still poor when it comes about values and accepting the others.
Whether it’s the fat lady at the company, the Arabian who sells carpets or the boyfriend of our neighbour’s son, discrimination still exists!
Women still get less paid but “double-job”, LGBT are still hide because of their fear of getting beaten, teenagers are still getting anorectic because they don’t want to be fat, and the list goes on…
If I sometimes think that we took one step forward, I right after have the proof that we took two backwards.
I’m not going to say that we must fight discrimination, because that should never exist. I’m going to say to you love you as you are, and let the others do the same. I’m going to say to reduce the hypocrisy that exists in this world. Because the world is full of unnecessary wars, so let’s avoid this one!

From age 6 to 13, she lived in Milwaukee with her mother. After suffering abuse and molestation, she ran away and was sent to a juvenile detention home at the age of 13, only to be denied admission because all the beds were filled.

In June 1987, in its first year of eligibility, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” received three Daytime Emmy Awards in the categories of Outstanding host, Outstanding Talk/Service Program and Outstanding Direction. In June 1988, “The Oprah Winfrey Show” received its second consecutive Daytime Emmy Award as Outstanding Talk/Service Program, and she herself received the International Radio and television Society’s “Broadcaster of the year” Award.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
The serie premiered in Japan on October 7, 2006 and it is still ongoing. It is developed by Artland and is airing on the television network TV Tokyo. Reviewers from the series praised its use of comedy as well as the designs used for the infants characters. They also mentioned that though it has become more violent since volume 8, it has turned into a better shōnen (teenage boy cartoons; mainly it's more violent and has more fights)series, praising the storylines and the fights.
The Reborn! story revolves around a boy named Tsunayoshi "Tsuna" Sawada, who is chosen to become the Vongola Family's boss due to him being the great-great-great-great grandson of the first Vongola boss, who had moved to Japan from Italy during his time. He is told by Reborn that he will become the tenth(decimo in italian) Vongola boss. Also, the other candidates for the position of the head of the Vongola Family have died. For these reasons, Tsuna is the only remaining heir. As such, Timoteo a.k.a.(also known as) "Vongola IX", the current head of the family, sends Reborn, an infant hitman from Italy, to train Tsuna. Tsuna then unwillingly undergoes training from Reborn. Reborn's main method of teaching Tsuna is the "Deathperation Bullet", which will make the person be "reborn" with a stronger self intent on fulfilling his dying will. Through his experiences, Tsuna unconsciously becomes stronger and more confident, which ultimately makes him better suited as the Vongola Family's boss despite continuing to reject his Mafia inheritance. He also starts making several friendships such as his crush Kyoko Sasagawa.
Tsuna goes through many predicaments in his progress of becoming the Vongola boss including fighting against escaped Mafia convicts posing as Kokuyo Junior High students. Later, The Varia, Vongola assassin squad, claim the right for their boss, Xanxus to be the true Vongola boss, and start a competition to decide it. To defeat the Varia, Reborn recruits most of Tsuna's schoolmates to become the Vongola guardians: Hayato Gokudera, a dynamite expert who wishes to be his right-hand man, Takeshi Yamamoto, a baseball player who thinks the Mafia is a game, Ryohei Sasagawa, the energetic captain of the school boxing club, and Kyoya Hibari, the deadly head prefect. Lambo, a weak infant assassin who came to kill Reborn, and Chrome Dokuro, a girl who has a mental and physical link with the criminal Mukuro Rokudo, joins them as well. Later, after defeating the Varia, Tsuna and his friends are transported to the future where they must face the Millefiore Family, who are annihilating the Vongola. As Tsuna and the Vongola Guardians from his time fight the Millefiore they learn that Shoichi Irie, a comrade of Tsuna's future self, was the one who sent them to the future as the future Tsuna said they were the only ones who can defeat the Millefiore leader Byakuran. It is later revealed that Byakuran has gained knowledge from parallel worlds and that he wants to obtain all the Mafia rings in order to obtain a power similar to omniscience. However, Tsuna and his friends are able to defeat Byakuran and the Millefiore and return to the past.

Stereotypes
What are labels?
Labels are certain aspects that people atribute to different groups.
Why do people label each other?
People label each other because it's more convinient fro them to do this. Some people don't accept differences very well so they tend to do this.
What are the most common types of discrimination?
The most common are about their race, gender, sexuality, believes (their religion). If you have different opinions let us know.
How does one person discriminate against another?
There are different ways of discriminating someone. They can completely ignore them; they can as if they're superior than them; they can badmouth that person and act violent; refuse them jobs or other inds of things giving the most lame excuses, knowing the real reason is because they dislike that "kind of person".

Recycling

- Do you know how many parts can we separate our garbage?
Well, most people don't recycle because they think that don't have time for doing it. But it's easy, we can separate our garbage not only in 3 parts but 4.
- Do you know them?
I'm talking about Bins, but if we think well we just have there 3 divisions. Yellow, blue and green one.
Into the yellow one we put all the plastic and metal objects. Into the green one we put all the glass, and into the blue one we put paper and carboard.
- Do you know that we can recycle scraps and plants?
This is the 4 part I wanted to talk about. Do you know what are the advantages of this? This can be used for the planting, creating not only natural fertilizer but also energy. A lots of people that study materials that can be recycled and the energy that can be produced by them says, that this is just the begining and, in the future we will take advantages of all the objects, food, plants,etc, to help not only the environment, but also ourselves. We will save energy and create energy!
Don't forget that recycling is very important.

If you find this symbol remind yourself that the object can be or it's recycled.
Every action counts. Protect ourselves and the planet.

To save water:

To recycle:
- we can dispart our garbage in 3 parts. One division green when you can put all the glassware, other division yellow when you can put all the objects of plastic and metal, and one blue division that is used for paper;
- we can also recycle food scraps and plants. That can be used for the planting, creating natural fertilizer...
Do not forget that every action counts. And this are just a few actions for each tips.

Short Biography

Andre Masson
André Masson (1896-1987) was one of the most important French painters connected with Surrealism. A close friend of André Breton, Joan Miró, and Max Ernst, he joined the Surrealist movement in the early 20s, then disassociated himself from it in the early 30s, focusing instead on a wild, symbolic interpretation of the forces of nature as well as the human condition with its fundamental impulses of love and hatred. Masson had been badly injured in the First World War, an experience which affected him deeply and coloured his depiction of violence as a powerful generative and destructive force running through nature. He was in Spain during the Spanish Civil War, where his work reflected the pain of that conflict as well as an intense interest in Spanish culture. In the early 40s, Masson moved to America and became interested in mythical imagery. Many of his paintings from this period are influenced by African American and Native American myths, and the style of his expression, particularly his adherence to Surrealist automatism, influenced many young American painters including Arshile Gorky.

Final Fantasy XIII
The playable cast of Final Fantasy XIII (From left to Right) Sazh Katzroy, Snow Villiers, Hope Estheim, Lightning, Oerba Yun Fang, Oerba Dia Vanille [click on the picture because Vanille doesn't show up. The image is too big]
Final Fantasy XIII is a RPG(role-playing game) developed and published by Square Enix and is the thirteenth installment in the Final Fantasy series. It was released for the PlayStation 3 entertainment system in Japan on December 17, 2009 and in North America and PAL regions on March 9, 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Some 1,300 years ago, a group fal'Cie constructed a paradise for humanity: the shell-like city of Cocoon, which floats high above the surface of Pulse under the power of the Cocoon fal'Cie Orphan. Then, the Cocoon fal'Cie created life forms and machines for Cocoon's inhabitants to use, and humanity flourished. A war was fought between the fal'Cie of Pulse and the Cocoon fal'Cie, and Cocoon prevailed in what was eventually known as the War of Transgressions. However, fear lingered in the hearts of the people of Cocoon, for the day another invasion might come from the world beneath again.
Although most Cocoon citizens have never seen Pulse with their own eyes, they have been told that it is a dangerous place that has strange effects on those who venture down to its surface. Consequently, anyone who is discovered to have been in contact with anything from Pulse is immediately subjected to quarantine and exile by the theocratic government of Cocoon, known as the Sanctum. The Sanctum enforces this policy with its strongest military branch, PSICOM.
As Snow leads the resistance group, NORA, in an attempt to stop the purging of civilians, the mysterious Lightning fights her way past PSICOM soldiers with the aid of Sazh to find a Pulse fal'Cie, Anima, who turned her sister, Serah (who is also Snow's fiancée), into a l'Cie. Through a chain of events, these three, along with two exiles, Vanille and Hope, are forced by the fal'Cie of Pulse to become l'Cie, and with that became enemies of humanity with the Focus of bringing about the downfall of the renegarde fal'Cie Orphan, who intends to use Vanille and Fang to summon the Eidolon Ragnarok and destroy the world.
Leona Lewis music "My Hands" from her new album "Echo" was declared the official music for FFXIII.

Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen born on 23rd September, 1949 and is an American singer-songwriter nicknamed "The Boss". He records and tours with the E Street Band. Springsteen's recordings have tended to alternate between commercially accessible rock albums and somber folk-oriented works. Much of his status stems from the concerts and marathon shows in which he and the E Street Band perform intense ballads, rousing anthems, and party rock and roll songs, amongst which he intersperses whimsical or deeply emotional stories. His most successful studio albums, “Born to Run” and “Born in the U.S.A”, epitomize his penchant for finding grandeur in the struggles of daily life in America, and the latter album made him one of the most recognized artists of the 1980s within the United States. Springsteen has gradually become identified with liberal politics. He has earned numerous awards for his work, including twenty Grammy Awards, two Golden Globes and an Academy Award, and continues to have a strong global fan base. He has sold more than 65 million albums in the United States and 120 million worldwide.

Diana Piedade (yes, again! =D)
You're probably all sick and tired of hear me talk about her, but this woman really deserves to win this contest, she has shown everything a idol should have got: personality, talent, autenticity.
So, Diana Piedade FTW!
