Hugo Chávez.
VII 2006 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND AFTER Chávez easily won reelection in the 2006 presidential contest. Although opposition parties had boycotted legislative elections in 2005, they returned to the electoralprocess in 2006. Nevertheless, Chávez won handily with about 63 percent of the vote as most Venezuelans appeared to approve of the way the country’s oil wealth wasbeing distributed. Following the election, Chávez asked the National Assembly for the power to rule by decree for a period of 18...

Ainsi, face aux pays industrialisés qui souhaitent protéger les forêtshumides équatoriales (et qui désirent en interdire l’abattage), les pays en développement, où se trouve la plus grande partie de ces espaces, réclament que les mesuressoient étendues aux forêts des régions tempérées et boréales (situées en majorité aux États-Unis, au Canada et dans l’ex-URSS), tout en demandant également à pouvoirexp...

Venezuela - country.
Venezuela has six navigable rivers. Of the thousand or more streams in the country, the majority flow into the Orinoco. The Orinoco flows east across central Venezuelaand drains approximately four-fifths of the total area of the country. With the tributaries—the Apure, Meta, and Negro rivers—it forms the outlet into the Atlantic Oceanfor the waters of much of the interior of Colombia, as well as of inland Venezuela.

Il estexempt de ces petits calculs, de ces compromissions qui font l'ordinaire de la vie civilisée [11]». Néanmoins, acquérirla faculté du discernement et de la pensée critique n'est pas chose facile comme le témoigne le parcours del'Ingénu. C'est par la confrontation...

2.3 Erneuter Ausbruch des Bürgerkrieges Mit zunehmendem Erstarken der Kommunisten verschlechterten sich die Beziehungen zwischen Kommunisten und Nationalisten wieder. 1939 blockierten die Nationalistenerneut Yan’an und verstärkten ihre Truppen dort auf über eine halbe Million Mann. Im Januar 1941 griffen sie die Neue Vierte Armee weiter im Süden an und vernichtetensie; das bedeutete das Ende der „Einheitsfront”. 1942/43 wurden die Kommunisten noch weiter zurückgeworfen, als die Japaner ihre Stü...

Comedy
Socrates suffered in the comedy of Aristophanes. Throughout history, opposition to comedy and laughter has been strongest in societies which emphasize physical restraint, decorum and conformity. Many medieval monastic orders had statutes forbidding laughter. The Puritan and Victorian eras saw many condemnations of comedy and laughter. The more authoritarian the regime, the greater its suppression of comedy. Hitler even set up ‘joke courts' to punish those who made fun of his regime - one Berl...

Pour autant, n'y a-t-il pas d'autres peurs, II) La peur nous préserve de multiples dangers : la crainte d'une douleur peut guider nos actions et institue donc unecertaine sécurité. Exemple : face à une flamme, la peur de la brûlure nous incite à nous tenir a une distanceadéquate du feu. Dans l'enfance, les premières expériences de la douleur suffisent à ce qu'on ai peur, et que l'onreconnaisse le danger les prochaines fois.

Renaissance, art de la - peinture.
Les artistes de la première Renaissance estiment qu’il est nécessaire de joindre à leurs travaux les écrits qui fondent leur art. Ainsi, de nombreux traités permettant de fournir des outils théoriques à la pratique artistique voient le jour ; le plus souvent, ces livres sont rédigés par les artistes eux-mêmes, ou par des penseurs humanistes ayant une pratique artistique. C’est le cas du plus célèbre d’entre eux, Leon Battista Alberti, philosophe, lettré, mathématicien, théoricien de l’art et sur...

INTRODUCTION
Models of the Atom
Once scientists discovered the electron, they set out to explain how electrons behave in atoms.
Electron Density and Orbital ShapesAtomic orbitals are mathematical descriptions of where the electrons in an atom (or molecule) are most likely to be found.These descriptions are obtained by solving an equation known as the Schrödinger equation, which expresses ourknowledge of the atomic world. As the angular momentum and energy of an electron increases, it tends to reside indifferently shaped orbitals. The orbitals corresponding to the three lowest energy states are s, p, and d, respectively....

En peinture, on distingue deux écoles fondamentales : « l’école de Bologne » et « l’école napolitaine ». Les peintures du Caravage, avec leur opposition de lumière et d’ombre très marquée, font partie de cette dernière. Les frères Carrache, refusant tout maniérisme au profit de principes de clarté, de monumentalité et d’équilibre, font partie, en revanche, de l’école de Bologne. Ces deux tendances s’avèrent décisives dans l’évolution du « plein-baroque » des années 1620-1650, et participent du s...

Physicists know of six different quarks.Neutrons and protons are made up of up quarks and down quarks —two of the six different kinds of quarks. The fanciful names of quarks have nothing to do with their properties; the names are simply labels to distinguish one quark from another. Quarks are unique amo...

Patagonia lies in the rain shadow of the Andes and so receives little moisture. As a result it is used primarily for grazing sheep, although some crops are grown on smallfarms in irrigated valleys. Several major oil fields also are in Patagonia. At the southern tip of Patagonia is Tierra del Fuego, a large mountainous island shared byArgentina and Chile.

Although the Republicans lost their first campaign for the presidency in 1856, they triumphed in1860 with former congressman Abraham Lincoln. The Republican victory resulted in part from the division of the Democratic Party into Northern and Southern factions,each of which ran its own presidential candidate, and in part from their success at attracting Whigs and Know-Nothings who had opposed the Republicans in 1856.During the C...

Excerpt from A Christmas Carol - anthology.
External heat and cold had little influence on Scrooge. No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he, no falling snowwas more intent upon its purpose, no pelting rain less open to entreaty. Foul weather didn’t know where to have him. The heaviest rain, and snow, and hail, and sleet,could boast of the advantage over him in only one respect. They often “came down” handsomely and Scrooge never did. Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with g...
