Federico Lombardi, departed from his recent good cheer since the pope's election to excoriate the criticisms in the press. He called the accusations against the former Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who served as a Jesuit provincial ‘superior and then archbishop of Buenos Aires, stale and the work of “anti-clerical left- wing elements to attack the church [that] must be decisively rejected.” Lombardi framed the criticism as part of a “campaign that's often slanderous and defamatory. ‘The reception of Francis in Rome and beyond has been generally positive, and simple style and reputation for modesty have been seen as a breath of fresh air in what many consider the stultified atmosphere of the Vatican recently. But questions about the activities of Bergoglio from 1976 to 1983, when a military fatorship terrorized much of Argentina and “disappeared” thousands of its own citizens, remain a cloud over his papacy's otherwise bright early days. Lombardi dismissed the accusations, mostly centered on Bergoglio’s alleged complicity in the torture of two slum priests, as old and unfounded. “This was never a concrete or credible accusation in his regard,” Lombardi said. “He was questioned by an Argentinian court as someone aware of the situation but never as a defendant. He has, in documented form, denied any accusations.” While Bergoglio did not confront the abuses of the junta with anything approaching the public fervor of his fellow clerics facing other dictatorships, as in Chile, it is not clear whether he used other, more private channels, to protect his flock. Bergoglio once told a .grapher that he purposely said Mass for the nation’s dictator, Jorge Videla, once in order to advocate for mercy. Lombardi pointed out Friday that no courts had ever formally accused Bergoglio of wrongdoing and that one of the Jesuit slum priests who was kidnapped in the case in question had earlier in the day issued a statement saying the two had reconciled. “The accusations pertain to a use of historical-sociological analysis of the dictatorship period made years ago by anti-clerical elements to attack the Church. They must be firmly rejected,” he said. Francisco Jalics, who had previously been silent about the incident, said in a statement that he had spoken with Bergoglio years later and that the two Jesuits had celebrated Mass together and embraced “solemnly.” “| am reconciled to the events and consider the matter to be closed,” he said.

Justin Bieber: Police raid singer's tour bus in Sweden and find drugs and stun-gun 25 Apr 2013 22:03 Officers swooped on the luxury coach after reports there was a smell of - marijuana coming from inside‘What goes on tour. Rex, Getty Police found drugs and an unlicensed stun gun when they raided pop star Justin Bieber’s tour bus. Officers swooped on the luxury coach after reports there was a smell of marijuana coming from inside. lt was parked in Stockholm, Sweden, where Bieber, 19, had been performing on his world tour last night. Police spokesman Lars Bystrom said the drug squad were alerted and a search of the bus took place just 30 minutes before the pop star went on stage.He added: “A colleague sensed what was considered to be a strong smell of marijuana. "A stun gun requiring a permit was also found on the bus.” Mr Bystrom added that no one had been arrested and said: “We don’t have any concrete suspicions against any specific person."There were several people on board”. He declined to identify the drug and said it had been sent to a laboratory for analysis. Asource close to Bieber admitted the tour bus was searched but said the singer was not on board at the time. He was in Finland last night for the latest leg of his tour. ‘The source added: “There’s definitely not going to be a problem. "Justin has left the country and will be performing his concert in Helsinki as scheduled.” It is not the first time the Canadian star Justin has been involved in a drug drama. In January, the singer was pictured on a mobile phone smoking a suspicious looking rolled-up cigarette with friends in a hotel room. He later told fans in a cryptic tweet: “I never want to let any of you down. | love u. and..Thank u. #beliebers.” Bieber was also branded “disgraceful” yesterday after it emerged he arrived six hours late for a photoshoot. An insider said Bieber had turned up late for promo work with cosmetics giant Elizabeth Arden in Danish capital Copenhagen at the weekend and refused to wear a pre- planned costume. He said: “After showing up six hours late, Justin threw a temper tantrum because they wanted him to wear a bell boy hat — but then he refused."It was disgraceful.” Bieber was criticised earlier this month after leaving a message in the guestbook at the Anne Frank House in Holland suggesting the young Holocaust victim would have been a “Belieber”.ANALISIS DEL DISCURSO EN LENGUA INGLESA — Grado en Estudios Ingleses Segunda Prueba Presencial ‘Septiembre 2013 Modelo B Duracién: 2 horas.

Two divorcees. There is a husband who married relatively late in life and adopted two children. Another is a prolific procreator, with enough children to field a baseball team and enough grandchildren to form a basketball league. One is in an interracial marriage, which would have been illegal in his state only 20 years before his wedding. As the Supreme Court prepares to consider the American tradition of marriage, the Justices display a wide range of personal choices reflective of the modern experience. In the court's first full examination of same-sex marriage, the unifying theme of those defending traditional marriage is that government has an important interest in promoting marriage among heterosexual couples because of their reproductive ability. But the issue comes before a court where four of the nine justices have never married or have had marriages that did not produce biological offspring. Volumes of briefs have been filed in a pair of potentially historic cases raising issues that personally resonate with the justices — the role of adoptive parents, the place of couples unable to or uninterested in having children, and possible parallels with laws that once prohibited marriages between the races. Their personal choices look “just like the rest of America,” said Andrew Cherlin, a sociologist at Johns Hopkins University and an expert on marriage whose work is cited in briefs filed in the cases scheduled for March 26 and 27. ‘The issue of same-sex marriage brings to the court questions of a state's freedom to define and limit marriage and how far the Constitution's guarantee of equal protection extends. Justices say they must look past their personal lives when deciding such weighty issues. But the past has shown that each of the nine also brings a unique set of life experiences to the work. Justice Clarence Thomas has often written opinions with a racial perspective none of his colleagues share. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has pointed out how sex discrimination is practiced in the real world. And Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., a former prosecutor, often provides a lawman's view on criminal justice issues. As the court confronts the rapidly changing status of same-sex marriage, it will be considering two cases. In the first, the issue Is California's Proposition 8, a 2008 voter- approved state constitutional amendment that restricts marriage to opposite-sex couples. The ban, enacted after the state’s high court decided gay couples must be allowed to marry, has been ruled unconstitutional by lower courts. The other case concerns the Defense of Marriage Act, passed by Congress in 1996 to prohibit recognition by the federal government of same-sex marriages performed in those places where it is legal. There were none when the law was passed, but same-sex marriages are now legal in nine states, including Maryland, and the District of Columbia. The act has been deemed unlawful by lower courts, which said it was unconstitutional to ‘extend federal benefits to one class of legally married couples but not to another.

In his first year in Princeton, on Christmas Eve, so 3 the story goes, some children sang carols outside his house. Having d, they 4 knocked on his door and explained they were collecting money to buy Christmas 5 presents. Einstein listened, then said, "Wait a moment." He put on his scarf and 6 overcoat, and took his violin from its case. Then, joining the children as they went 7 from door to door, he accompanied their singing of ‘Silent Night’ on his violin.” (Banesh Hoffman, "My Friend, Albert Einstein."

The question is not intended to discourage the healthy debate being pushed by Rand Paul and his allies over whether Republicans in the George W. Bush years were too eager to deploy our country’s armed forces. overseas. After the steep costs of the Iraq war, itis a very necessary discussion But Paul has inadvertently called our attention to a deep contradiction within American conservatism. Those who share Paul's philosophical orientation are quite right in seeing the rise cof American power in the world as closely linked to the rise of the New Deal-Great Society state at home. But this means that those who want the United States to play a strong role in global affairs need to ask themselves if their attitudes toward government's role in our country, which are similar to Paul's, are consistent with their vision of American influence abroad, After World War I, there was a rough consensus in America, confirmed during Dwight Eisenhower's presidency in the 1950s, in favor of an energetic national government We emerged from the war as a global power that had learned lessons from the Great Depression. Government action could lessen the likelihood of another disastrous economic downturn and build a more just and prosperous society at home by investing in our people and our future. ( ) ‘And we fought poverty — for moral reasons but also because we wanted to show the world that we could combine our market system with economic justice. We forget that we succeeded, A strengthened Social Security system combined with Medicare slashed poverty rates among the elderly. Food stamps dealt with a real problem of hunger in our nation while Medicaid brought regular health care to millions who did not have it before. Through it all, Keynesian economics kept our economy humming while widely shared prosperity created the sense of national solidarity that a world role required: Paul and his allies deserve credit for consistency. They are against the entire deal “As government grows, liberty becomes marginalized,” Paul declared at the Conservative Political Action Conference, which announced Saturday that the libertarian senator from Kentucky had placed first in its 2016 presidential straw poll | think the evidence of all the years since World War II proves Pau! flatly wrong. But then | am not a conservative. But what of conservatives who endorse continued American global leadership but would drastically reduce government's investments in our citizens and our infrastructure, in economic security and in health care? Do they honestly think voters wil endorse the military spending they seek even as they throw 40 milion to 50 milion of our fellow citizens off health insurance and weaken health coverage for ‘our elderly? Can they continue to deny that their goal of an internationally influential America demands more revenue than they currently seem willing to provide? Have conservatives on the ‘Supreme Court pondered what eviscerating the Voting Rights Act would do to the image of our demooracy around the globe? ‘And do conservatives who say they favor American greatness think they are strengthening our nation and its ability to shape events abroad with an ongoing budget stalemate created by their refusal to reach agreement with President Obama on a deal that combines spending cuts and new taxes? Would they rather waste the next three years than make any further concessions to a president the voters just reelected? Rand Paul is very clear on the country he seeks. Conservatives who reject his approach to foreign policy need to consider where the strong America they honor came from in the first place.

Rates for church attendance in Australia are some of the lowest in the Western world, and the country's political leaders feel no need to feign religious devotion. In fact, they think it's better to avoid religion altogether. Asa teenager, | wrote poetry mocking belief in God. My mother threw enough profanity at religious door knockers to make even a sailor blush Many years later, however, | read the New Testament for myself. The Jesus | encountered was far different from the deluded radical, even mythical character described to me. This Jesus—the Jesus of history—was real. He touched upon things that cut close to my heart, especially as | pondered the meaning of human existence. | was struck by the early church's testimony to Jesus: In Christ's death God has vanquished evil, and by his resurrection he has brought life and hope to all When | crossed from unbelief to belief, all the pieces suddenly began to fit together. | had always felt a strange unease about my disbelief. | had an acute suspicion that there might be something more, something transcendent, but | also knew that | was told not to think that. | "knew" that ethics were nothing more than aesthetics, a mere word game for things | liked and disliked. | felt conflicted when my heart ached over the injustice and cruelty in the world Faith grew from seeds of doubt, and | came upon a whole new world that, for the first time, actually made sense to me. To this day, | do not find faith stifling or constricting. Rather, faith has been liberating and transformative for me.

It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest possible basis and that it should include all parties. Awar cabinet has been formed of five members, representing, with the Labour, Opposition, and Liberals, the unity of the nation. It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. | now invite the House by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution: "That this House welcomes the formation of a government representing the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to prosecute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.” To form an administration of this scale and complexity is a serious undertaking in itself. But we are in the preliminary phase of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at many other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean. The air battle is continuing, and many preparations have to be made here at home. In this crisis | think | may be pardoned if | do not address the House at any length today, and | hope that any of my friends and colleagues or former colleagues who are affected by the political reconstruction will make all allowances for any lack of ceremony with which it has been necessary to act. | say to the House as | said to ministers who have joined this government, | have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat. We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many months of struggle and suffering. You ask, what is our policy? | say it is to wage war by land, sea, and air. War with all our might and with all the strength God has given us, and to wage war against a monstrous tyranny never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? | can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs - Victory in spite of all terrors - Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival | take up my task in buoyancy and hope. | feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. | feel entitled at this juncture, at this time, to claim the aid of all and to say, "Come then, let us go forward together with our united strength.” HEE EEEE CHEECH EEE HEHEHE EE EE EE EH CEE HEHE HEHEHE HEHEHE HEHEHEANALISIS DEL DISCURSO EN LENGUA INGLESA - GRADO EN ESTUDIOS INGLESES Segunda Prueba Presencial Septiembre 2016 Modelo 1 Duracion: 2 horas.

To them, the movement has been a steady, normal growth from the beginning and must so continue until the end. | can only defend my claim with the plea that it is better to imagine a crisis where none exists than to fail to recognize one when it comes; for a crisis is a culmination of events which calls for new considerations and new decisions. A failure to answer the call may mean an opportunity lost, a possible victory postponed. The object of the life of an organized movement is to secure its aim Necessarily, it must obey the law of evolution and pass through the stages of agitation and education and finally through the stage of realization. As one has put it: "A new idea floats in the air over the heads of the people and for a long, indefinite period evades their understanding but, by and by, when through familiarity, human vision grows clearer, it is caught out of the clouds and crystalized into law." Such a period comes to every movement and is its crisis. In my judgment, that crucial moment, bidding us to renewed consecration and redoubled activity has come to our cause. | believe our victory hangs within our grasp, inviting us to pluck it out of the clouds and establish it among the good things of the world If this be true, the time is past when we should say: "Men and women of America, look upon that wonderful idea up there; see, one day it will come down." Instead, the time has come to shout aloud in every city, village and hamlet, and in tones so clear and jubilant that they will reverberate from every mountain peak and echo from shore to shore: "The woman's Hour has struck."

This afternoon we want to talk about the ballot or the bullet. The ballot or the bullet explains itself.

That is, my religion is still Islam. [applause] [...] At present | am the minister of the newly founded Muslim Mosque Incorporated [..]. And when we realize that Adam Clayton Powell, is a Christian minister, he has Abyssinian Baptist Church, but at the same time he's more famous for his political struggling. And Dr. King is a Christian minister from Atlanta Georgia, or in Atlanta Georgia, but he's become more famous for being involved in the civil rights struggle. There's another in New York, Rev. Galamison, | don't know if you've heard of him out here, he's a Christian minister from Brooklyn, but has become famous for his fight against the segregated school system in Brooklyn Rev. Cleage, right here, is a Christian minister, here in Detroit, he's head of the Freedom Now Party. All of these are Christian ministers [applause] ...all of these are Christian ministers but they don't come to us as Christian ministers, they come to us as fighters in some other category. 1am a Muslim minister. The same as they are Christian ministers, I'm a Muslim minister. And | don't believe in fighting today on any one front, but on all fronts.

[applause] Islam is my religion but | believe my religion is my personal business. /applause] It governs my personal life, my personal morals. And my religious philosophy is personal between me and the God in whom | believe, just as the religious philosophy of these others is between them and the God in whom they believe. And this is best this way. Were we to come out here discussing religion, we'd have too many differences from the out start and we could never get together. So today, though Islam is my religious philosophy, my political, economic and social philosophy is black nationalism. You and | - [applause] As | say, [...] if we keep our religion at home, keep our religion in the closet, keep our religion between ourselves and our God, but when we come out here we have a fight that's common to all of us against a enemy who is common to all of us. [applause] The political philosophy of black nationalism only means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community. The time when white people can come in our community and get us to vote for them so that they can be our political leaders and tell us what to do and what not to. do is long gone. fapplause] We must, we must understand the politics of our community and we must know what politics is supposed to produce. We must know what part politics play in our lives. And until we become politically mature, we will always be misled, led astray, or deceived or maneuvered into supporting someone politically who doesn't have the good of our community at heart. So the political philosophy of black nationalism only means that we will have to carry on a program, @ political program, of reeducation — to open our people's eyes, make us become more politically conscious, politically mature. And then, we will — whenever we are ready to cast our ballot, that ballot will be cast for a man of the community, who has the good of the community at heart. applause]ANALISIS DEL DISCURSO EN LENGUA INGLESA GRADO EN ESTUDIOS INGLESES Segunda Prueba Presencial Septiembre 2017 Modelo A Duracion: 2 horas.

Yup. The Piece by Piece singer posted an Instagram video earlier this week of her two-year-old daughter, River, trying the hazelnut-chocolate spread for the first time, and it’s adorable. It's also, if you're a mom, familiar: The toddler digs into a Nutella-smeared piece of bread, and her face bears the evidence. Apparently, though, some Insta users took offense to Clarkson's post, and it didn't take long for the nutrition police to slide into the comments section and scold the pop star for giving her daughter the treat. "Stop eating Nutella,” one commenter said, according to Good Housekeeping. "It's been confirmed to give cancer." “Nutella is hella bad for you," another user quipped. "Nutella is PACKED with sugars. Don't make your kids blow up," wrote a third troll. (Keep in mind that these people are talking about a two-year-old child.) But the most biting comment came from a user who said Clarkson giving River Nutella was a form of "child abuse." "Giving food like this to a child is child abuse," he or she wrote, GH reports. Simmer down. We're talking about a child eating Nutella one time. It's not like she's giving her kid candy for every meal. Plus, the fact Clarkson even posted the video is proof she probably views foods like Nutella as special, sporadic treats. And Good Housekeeping Institute nutrition director Jaclyn London (R.D.) defends eating treats. "Enjoying indulgent foods together with family can be a part of a healthy diet and long-term relationship with food," she told GH. https://go0.qV/3d3yuAANALISIS DEL DISCURSO EN LENGUA INGLESA GRADO EN ESTUDIOS INGLESES Segunda Prueba Presencial Septiembre 2018 Modelo A Duracion: 2 horas.

However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters. Mr Bennet's wife: My dear Mr. Bennet, said his lady to him one day, have you heard that Netherfield Park is let at last? Mr. Bennet: No, | have not. Mr Bennet’s wife: But it is, for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it. Mr. Bennet made no answer. Mr Bennet's wife: Do not you want to know who has taken it? (impatiently), Mr. Bennet: You want to tell me, and | have no objection to hearing it. Wife: Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four to see the place, and was so much delighted with it that he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week. Mr. Bennet; What is his name? Wife: Bingley. Mr. Bennet: Is he married or single? Wife: Oh! single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls! Mr Bennet: How so? How can it affect them? Wife: My dear Mr. Bennet, how can you be so tiresome! You must know that | am thinking of his marrying one of them." Mr. Bennet: Is that his design in settling here? Wife: Design! nonsense, how can you talk so! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes. Mr. Bennet: | see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves,which perhaps will be still better; for, as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bingley might like you the best of the party.ANALISIS DEL DISCURSO EN LENGUA INGLESA GRADO EN ESTUDIOS INGLESES Segunda Prueba Presencial Septiembre 2018 Modelo B Duracion: 2 horas.
