The text charts a path forward for countries to set tougher targets for cutting greenhouse gases under the Paris climate agreement, as well as stronger transparency rules for countries in disclosing their emissions. However, nations still couldn’t reach an accord on how to use markets to limit carbon dioxide. Those discussions will continue next year. Read on for the context around these negotiations and why environmental groups, governments, and private companies were so concerned about the outcome of this conference. An agreement between 200 nations at a major international climate change conference in Katowice, Poland, is taking longer than expected.

Tomo I Pepe Medel Septiembre a diciembre de 2015 Contenido general Presentación……………………………………………………………………………………………. 2 1 Septiembre……………………………………………………………………………………. 3 Octubre…………………………………………………………………………………………. 42 Noviembre……………………………………………………………………………………… 90 Diciembre………………………………………………………………………………………. 126 Presentación Muchos de los lectores de mi blog personal en Facebook History of Beauty (https://www.facebook.com/historiadelabelleza) me han solicitado que republique algunas de las notas que han considerado interesantes y que en su momento no pudieron leer y que además por el tiempo en que las publiqué, es muy difícil buscarlas en la página, a pesar de señalarles la fecha en que las subí a la red. Ante esta situación decidí re trabajar cada una de las notas y organizarlas a manera de un libro en línea que rescate todos esos comentarios y que los interesados lo puedan bajar de 2 la red, imprimir, coleccionar o lo que ustedes decidan. Esta colección que publicaré cuatrimestralmente se denomina: History of Beauty. Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Es por esto que con mucho gusto les presento el primer tomo de este esfuerzo, el cual comprende las notas publicadas desde la aparición de mi blog el 9 de septiembre de 2015 y comprende hasta la última aportación subida en diciembre del mismo año. Esta publicación incluye las 185 fotografía empleadas en las diversas notas que escribí durante el último cuatrimestre del año 2015 y que en algunos casos, son fotografías que solicitaron subiera y yo aproveché para hacer un breve artículo. Espero que con la lectura de este tomo, los jóvenes aficionados a los concursos de belleza puedan encontrar los orígenes de nuestra pasión y los que ya son grandes conocedores del tema, logren revivir la emoción que nos siguen causando los certámenes que, al menos a mí, se han convertido en parte de mi vida y han convivido conmigo por más de 50 años.

It explains Haitian resistance to such forms, and argues that only a development form endogenous to the Haitian majority will bring development and long-term stability to the country.

Once again, the Philippines shined on international stage Catriona Gray is Miss Universe 2018 The 24-year-old, Catriona Gray, who beat off 92 contestants to take the coveted Miss Universe crown in Bangkok earlier this week, has thanked her country, saying she could not have done it without its support. In a video posted by the official Miss Universe account, Gray gushes: "I just want to say thank you to the Philippines, my country. You know, you guys have supported me all through this and if not for you, I would not have had the endurance or spirit to do what I do." The model touched down in Manila on Wednesday (December 19) to a hero's welcome, as she was greeted by a large crowd gathered to congratulate her on her title win. She told waiting press she was "so happy" to be back in the Phil- ippines, and said she was looking forward to getting started on her charity work and spending Christmas with her family.

  • Reinas De Belleza De Puerto Rico: 1932-1970
    Reinas de Puerto Rico Según el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, una reina es una mujer que ejerce la potestad real por derecho propio o una mujer que por su excelencia sobresale entre las demás de su clase o especie. Las primeras pertenecen al viejo mundo y las segundas son del nuevo. Puerto Rico ha sido prolífico en reinas. Ya en el Siglo XIX se celebraban fiestas de pueblo donde se escogían a sus reinas para celebrar el triunfo de la espiritualidad sobre la frivolidad y como representante de la monarquía regente. Reinas de Puerto Rico es un intento de identificar todas las damas de nuestra sociedad que de una u otra forma han representado a sus pueblos o al País en los reinados de carnaval, fiestas patronales, fiestas especiales y certámenes de belleza. Estas jóvenes pertenecen a la historia folclórica de Puerto Rico y con este trabajo le damos reconocimiento. ¡Qué viva la Reina! Flor M. Cruz-González, ([email protected]) Bibliotecaria Profesional, Universidad Interamericana de Puerto Rico, Recinto de Arecibo. Agradecimientos Al presentar este proyecto que tomó cerca de ocho años en realizarse y que presento en un momento tan significativo para Puerto Rico, quiero agradecer primero a Dios que rige mi vida y me ha traído hasta aquí. Muy en especial al Sr. Rafael “Rafin” J. Mirabal Linares, por toda su ayuda con el material fotográfico, información y asesoría, al Sr. Confesor Bermúdez, por presentarme a Rafín, por siempre mantenerme al tanto sobre los certámenes de belleza desde que era uno de nuestros estudiantes y por brindarme el ánimo continuo con su gran sentido del humor y talento.

  • Ou Ayisyen? the Making of a Haitian Diasporic Community in Chicago, 1933-2010
    OU AYISYEN? THE MAKING OF A HAITIAN DIASPORIC COMMUNITY IN CHICAGO, 1933-2010 BY COURTNEY S. CAIN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2017 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Emeritus James Barrett, Chair Associate Professor Erik McDuffie, Co-chair Professor Antoinette Burton Professor Flore Zéphir, University of Missouri ii Abstract This dissertation investigates the formation of the Haitian diaspora in Chicago over the twentieth century. Through original oral history interviews with key community leaders, analysis of Chicago-based newspapers, and previously unexamined organizational records, this is the first comprehensive study to look at the Haitian diaspora in Chicago. Chicago’s Haitian diaspora is different from the more recognized and studied Haitian diasporic communities in New York and Miami and other African diasporic communities for three reasons. First, Jean Baptiste Point DuSable, a fur trader believed to have been from Haiti, founded the city around 1780 which highlights the initial formation of Chicago as a diasporic space. Black women led the movement in Chicago to commemorate DuSable as the founder of the city and played a key role in building connections between Chicago and Haiti which shaped the formation of the Haitian community there. Secondly, the social class composition of Haitians who migrated to Chicago is unique because it is largely professional, educated, and middle class. Finally, the Haitian diaspora in Chicago is smaller and more decentralized than its counterparts in Miami and New York. Approximately 15,000 to 30,000 Haitian descendant people live in Chicago today, but this community does not live in a “Little Haiti,” a neighborhood comprised largely of Haitian immigrants.

    Enero a abril de 2016 History of Beauty Comentarios, anécdotas y relatos sobre los concursos de belleza. Integrado. Tomo II Pepe Medel Enero a abril de 2016 1 Enero 2016 7 de enero de 2016 Este es el primer comentario de 2016 y creo que lo debo dedicar al país del año, en cuestiones relacionadas a los concursos de belleza, y sí ese país no es otro que Filipinas, ya que en este año logró clasificar en los seis concursos internacionales más importantes del mundo y ganó dos de ellos. Los seis concursos más importantes del mundo son: Miss Universo el cual fue ganado por Pia Alonzo; Miss World en donde Hillarie Parungao clasificó en el top 10; Miss International en el cual Janicel Lubina clasificó también en el top 10; Miss Supranational aquí Rogelie Catacutan únicamente clasificó en el top 20; Miss Earth la ganadora fue la filipina Angelia Ong; y finalmente Miss Gran International en el cual Parul Shah logró ser 3rd. runner up. 2 Por otro lado ningún país a logrado ganar los seis concursos más importantes a lo largo de la historia, Filipinas es el país que ha logrado ganar cinco de ellos, únicamente le falta el Miss Grand International, que es un concurso que lleva apenas 3 ediciones. Filipinas ha ganado tres Miss Universe: 1969, 1973 y 2015; un Miss World en 2013; cinco Miss International: 1964, 1970, 1979, 2005 y 2013; un Miss Supranational en 2013; y tres Miss Earth en 2008, 2014 y 2015. Filipinas es un país realmente exitoso. Las fotos corresponden a Pia Alonzo Miss Universe 2015, en la segunda Magan Yung Miss World 2013 y Bea Rose Santiago Miss International 2013, Realmente Filipinas es un país exitoso en los concursos de belleza!!!!!!! Pia Alonzo es la tercera Miss Universe originaria de Filipinas, sus antecesoras han sido Gloria Díaz en 1969 y María Margarita Morán en 1973, felicidades!!!!! Megan Young es la única mujer filipina que ha ganado el título de Miss World en 2013, una bella mujer que no había quién 3 le quitara el título en ese año, es una mujer bella y encantadora.
