On May 13th, 1822, a group of 186 women sent Maria
Leopoldina the Letter from the Bahian Women to Her Royal
Highness Dona Leopoldina, congratulating her on her role in the
patriotic rulings of her husband, Prince Regent Dom Pedro. The
document acknowledged the contribution made by the then
princess and empress-to-be to ensuring her husband’s
permanence in Brazil, which they believed was a key factor in
gaining independence from Portugal. “Far more than just a letter,
it is a political manifesto,” notes historian Maria de Lourdes
Viana Lyra. “At that time, in Brazil, women were given a
subordinate role restricted to private household and family
affairs. Outside the domestic sphere, women were made invisible,
but that did not stop them from mobilizing politically to fight for
independence in a variety of ways,” she states.
In addition to isolated actions led by famous figures, there
were other many significant actions that are still largely unknown
to the general public, more specifically, those related to instances
of collective mobilization of women active in the public arena
during the fight for Brazilian independence. Historian Andréa
Slemian expands on the matter. “Throughout this process, many
women expressed themselves through letters, manifestos, and
other texts. Thus, the nascent press in Brazil played an important
role, not only by publishing these women’s ideas regarding
independence on editorial pages, for example, but also by serving
as a mouthpiece for views supporting women’s rights,” notes
Slemian.

Shimmering white and gracefully statuesque, the Mount Washington Hotel is a granite fortress, a manmade anomaly among the raw wilderness of the surrounding White Mountains in remote northern New Hampshire, U.S. Even to this day, the hotel is geographically secured by 800,000 acres of the White Mountain National Forest around it. This was the main reason why the Hotel was chosen for a World War Two meeting – a meeting that shaped present-day global economic policies.

Home
No one leaves
home unless home is the mouth of a shark
you only run for the border
when you see the whole city running as well
Your neighbors running faster than you
breath bloody in their throats
the boy you went to school with
who kissed you dizzy behind the old tin factory
is holding a gun bigger than his body
you only leave homewhen
home won‘t let you stay.
No one leaves home unless home chases you
fire under feet
hot blood in your belly
it‘s not something you ever thought of doing
until the blade burnt threats into
your neck
and even then you carried the anthem under
your breath
only tearing up your passport in an airport toilet
sobbing as each mouthful of paper
made it clear that you wouldn‘t be going back.
You have to understand,
that no one puts their children in a boat
unless the water is safer than the land
no one burns their palms
under trains
beneath carriages (…)
I want to go home,
but home is the mouth of a shark
home is the barrel of the gun
and no one would leave home
unless home chased you to the shore
unless home told you to quicken your legs
leave your clothes behind
crawl through the desert
wade through the oceans (…)
No one leaves home until home is a sweaty voice in your ear
saying –
leave,
run away from me now
I dont know what I‘ve become
but I know that anywhere
is safer than here.

What is Distance Learning and Why Is It So Important?
1 Distance learning – any form of remote education where the student is not physically present for
the lesson – is booming thanks to the power of the Internet. In fact, there are a number of
advantages of learning remotely over even traditional teaching models. As the Internet blurs the
line between near and far, distance learning is set to disrupt the current paradigm of education.
2 Historically, distance learning described correspondence courses in which students would
communicate with their schools or teachers by mail. More recently, distance education has
moved online to include a huge range of systems and methods on practically any connected
device.
3 Distance education is clearly different from regular education in terms of a student or teacher‘s
physical presence. For the most part, it translates into increased freedom for both learners and
educators, but it also requires higher degrees of discipline and planning to successfully complete
the course of study.
4 The enhanced freedom of remote learning is most clearly seen in the fact that students can
choose courses that fit their schedules and resources. (Teachers can do the same.) And in the
case of digital learning, students can also choose the location and teaching styles that best suit
their needs.
5 Remote education is certainly not a magic bullet and there will always be a place for in-class
learning. At the same time, distance learning still has a lot of untapped potential to reach students
where they are and connect educators and learners in new ways. From increased flexibility to
new learning styles, it seems that the future of learning will be as diverse in time and place as it
will be in thought.

Are social networking sites addictive?
1With the increasing popularity of wireless devices like smartphones — devices that can move lots of data very quickly — users have access to their social networks 24 hours a day. Most social networking sites have developed applications for your mobile phone, so logging on is always convenient. Social networks also tap into our human desire to stay connected with others. Besides, the rush of nostalgia as you connect with your former grade-school classmate on Facebook can be quite heady and exciting.
2But what's the main reason we find these sites so addictive? Plain old narcissism. We broadcast our personalities online whenever we publish a thought, photo, YouTube video or answer one of those “25 Things About Me" memes. We put that information out there so people will respond and connect to us. And being part of a social network is sort of like having your own entourage that follows you everywhere, commenting on and applauding everything you do. It's very seductive.
3In 2008, researchers at the University of Georgia studied the correlation between narcissism and Facebook users. Unsurprisingly, they found that the more “friends" and wall posts a user had, the more narcissistic he or she was. They noted that narcissistic people use Facebook in a selfpromoting way, rather than in a connective way. It may be an obvious theory, but it also suggests that social networks bring out the narcissist in all of us.
4Social networks are also a voyeuristic experience for many users. Following exchanges on Twitter or posts on Facebook and MySpace are akin to eavesdropping on someone else's conversation. It's entertaining and allows you to feel like a “fly on the wall" in someone else's life.
5Social networking sites also publicly list your “friends" or “followers" — giving you instant status. How many people do you know online who spend all their time trying to get more friends, more followers, more testimonials? We work hard in real life to elevate our statuses, make friends and search out boosters for our self-esteem. Online social networking provides this to us, and we don't even have to change out of our sweatshirts to get it.

We may take advantage of this pause in the narrative to make certain statements. Orlando had become a woman – there is no denying it. But in every other respect, Orlando remained precisely as he had been. The change of sex, though it altered their future, did nothing whatever to alter their identity. Their faces remained, as their portraits prove, practically the same. His memory – but in future we must, for convention's sake, say 'her' for 'his,' and 'she' for 'he' – her memory then, went back through all the events of her past life without encountering any obstacle. Some slight haziness there may have been, as if a few dark drops had fallen into the clear pool of memory; certain things had become a little dimmed; but that was all. The change seemed to have been accomplished painlessly and completely and in such a way that Orlando herself showed no surprise at it. Many people, taking this into account, and holding that such a change of sex is against nature, have been at great pains to prove that Orlando had always been a woman, that Orlando is at this moment a man. Let biologists and psychologists determine. It is enough for us to state the simple fact; Orlando was a man till the age of thirty; when he became a woman and
has remained so ever since.
