Julieta Castellanos (born 8 January 1954) is a Honduran sociologist. She is the rector of the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) since 2009.  Castellanos has worked against violence in Honduras, working mostly on drug cartels and police corruption. She worked for reform of the courts and the police. In 2004, Castellanos started the Observatorio de la Violencia (Violence Observatory) at UNAH. The Violence Observatory analyzes crime statistics in Honduras. She was also a member of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.  The job of this commission was to find the facts of the 2009 coup that removed President Manuel Zelaya from power.

Life and education

Castellanos was born in San Francisco de Becerra, Olancho on 8 January 1954.  Her mother was Rafael Castellanos of Santa Bárbara, and her father was Ernestina Ruiz of Olancho. She grew up in the sugar fields of rural Honduras. In 1968, Castellanos' father gave her a test to be a student at the Normal School for Girls in the city of Tegucigalpa. She entered the school and graduated in 1973 with a teaching degree. In 1974, Castellanos won two scholarships to study social work at the National Autonomous University of Honduras (UNAH) and social sciences in the College of Teachers. After several years of study, she finished her studies with a master's degree in economics from UNAH and a bachelor's degree in sociology from the University of Costa Rica.

After she finished her studies, Castellanos became a professor at UNAH in 1978. She was head of the Social Sciences Department and President of the Association of Teachers from 1997 to 2001. Castellanos was also the President of the Association of Professors of the University Center of General Studies (CUEG) in 1986, Coordinator of the Violence Observatory since 2005, consultant to the Arias Foundation for Human Progress and the  Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA), and Research Associate of the Centro de Documentatión de Honduras (CEDOH). For 13 years, Castellanos was also the author of a newspaper column.

Head of the National Autonomous University of Honduras

Castellanos was elected to a four-year term as Rector of the National Autonomous University of Honduras in 2009. At the time of her appointment as rector, she was also the Coordinator of the UNAH Violence Observatory and Director of the Instituto Universitario en Democracia Paz y Seguridad (Institute for Democracy, Peace and Security, IUDPAS).  IUDPAS was started with support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) when Castellanos worked as a consultant for the UNDP. Castellanos took the place of Jorge Abraham Arita, who was removed for incompetence. In a press conference, College Board president Olvin Rodriguez said Castellanos was chosen as rector because she was well-respected by the university community, and also by Honduran society and internationally.

Shortly after Castellanos got the job of rector, President Manuel Zelaya was removed from power in a coup. During a demonstration by University students, the police tired to stop the demonstration.  The police pushed Castellanos down when she tried to stop them. During her time as rector, she had disagreements with SITRAUNAH, the union for the University's employees.  She also received criticism because she fired 60 employees who protested at the university 2009.  Castellanos oversaw the construction of a sports complex, an administrative building, and a university clinic.  The university invested L1,500 million in the clinic.

Castellanos' four years as rector ended in April 2013. She remained interim rector.  In September 2013, she won an election for another term as head of the university.

Work against violence and corruption

Castellanos was a strong advocate for police reform and against violent crime in Honduras. She pushed for an international commission to oversee a purge of the police.  The National Congress of Honduras approved the idea.   Castellanos also spoke about gun politics in Honduras.  She asked the Honduran armed forces to destroy illegal guns, including AK-47s.

In October 2011, the Honduran national police kidnapped and killed Castellanos' 22-year-old son. The incident called attention to the degree of corruption within the Honduran police. Castellanos called for an end to foreign aid for the Honduran police and military, demanding that they "stop feeding the beast."

Awards

Castellanos received the first Martin Luther King, Jr. Award on 20 April 2012. The Martin Luther King, Jr. Foundation and the Instituto Hondureño de Cultura Interamericana gave her the award in a ceremony.

In March 2013, Castellanos received the International Women of Courage Award from the U.S. State Department. US Secretary of State John Kerry and First Lady Michelle Obama presented the award.

Atchison is a city and county seat of Atchison County, Kansas, United States, and is situated along the Missouri River.  As of the 2010 census, its population was 11,021. The city is named in honor of David Rice Atchison, United States senator from Missouri. It was the original eastern starting point of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. Atchison was the birthplace of aviator Amelia Earhart. The Amelia Earhart Festival is held every year in July.  Atchison is also home of Benedictine College, a Catholic liberal-arts college.

History

Founding
Atchison was founded in 1854. It was named for Senator David Rice Atchison, who, when Kansas was opened for settlement, interested some of his friends in the scheme of forming a city in the new territory. Senator Atchison was interested in making sure that the population of the new Kansas Territory would be mainly pro-slavery. He had been a prominent promoter of both slavery and the idea of popular sovereignty over the issue in the new lands. However, it seems that all were not agreed upon the location he had selected. On July 20, 1854, Dr. John H. Stringfellow, Ira Norris, Leonidas Oldham, James B. Martin and Neal Owens left Platte City, Missouri, to decide definitely upon a site. They found a site that was the natural outlet of a remarkably rich agricultural region just open to settlement. Eighteen persons were present when the town company was formally organized by electing Peter T. Abell, president. James Burns was elected treasurer. Dr. Stringfellow was elected the town secretary.

Civil War
At the outbreak of the American Civil War there were three militia companies organized in Atchison. They joined other Kansas regiments.  They were known as Companies A, C and “At All Hazards”.  Early in September 1861, a home guard was organized in the town to protect it in case of invasion from Missouri.  On the 15th of the month another company was raised, which later became a state regiment.  In 1863 the city of Atchison raised $4,000 to assist the soldiers from the county. After the Lawrence Massacre a like sum was raised to assist the stricken people of that city.  Citizens of the town also joined the vigilance committees that aided the civil authorities in protection against raiding and the lawless bands of thieves that infested the border counties.

During the war, Atchison was also the headquarters of numerous bands of jayhawkers. This included the notorious Charles Metz, who was known as "Cleveland".  Metz, a former prisoner at the Missouri State Penitentiary, selected Atchison as his headquarters for raids into Missouri. He was accepted with open arms by the people of the town.  During his period of operations, he stole hundreds of horses from Missouri farmers and sold them in Kansas.  He robbed any suspected southern sympathizer and threatened several leading citizens with murder and robbery if they remained in town.  He even ran off the first president of Atchison, P.T. Abell, who was forced into exile until after the Civil War ended.  He defied all authorities but was finally shot and killed at some point in 1862.  He is buried in St. Joseph, Missouri.

Copepods (meaning "oar feet") are small, shrimp-like crustaceans that swim in seas, lakes, and ponds. Copepods are very important in the food web, and many animals eat them.

There are 10 orders of copepods and over 4500 species; a few orders are free-swimming, but many are parasites (of fish). The free-swimming copepods move through the water in jerky motions by moving their swimming legs.

Eroticism is the quality of sexual excitement. In other words, if something is sexually exciting, then it is said to be erotic. Eroticism is an erotic feeling. It is named after Eros, the Ancient Greek god of love.

Many types of things can be part of eroticism. Things that make a person feel erotic (sexually aroused or excited) include the sight, touch, smell, and sound of another person. A person may feel erotic when they see or touch or smell, or hear someone that they love in a sexual way. They may also have erotic feelings about a person that they do not love, but who is sexually attractive to them.

Sometimes eroticism has nothing to do with another person. A person might feel erotic from watching a movie, looking at pictures in a magazine, listening to a piece of music, reading a story or article, or just thinking their own thoughts, or being aware of their own body.

What makes eroticism?

Some things are designed and made especially to make people feel erotic. Things that are designed to make people feel erotic are called "erotica". This word is most often used for art, books and magazines.

Art  Sometimes artists create erotic works of art such as drawings, paintings and sculpture. They might do this because they want to make a record of a person or a relationship that is special to them. But more often, artists make erotic art for people who would like to buy it.
Books Many books have been written that tell erotic stories, or which give advice about how to make love in an erotic way.
Movies Many people enjoy watching erotic movies.
Magazines Many magazines have lots of photos of people naked or in sexy clothing, and with erotic expressions and gestures (actions).
Avertising Erotic photos are often used for advertising. For example, a beautiful young woman with an erotic expression on her face might be used to advertise hair products, clothes, chocolates, cars, and all sorts of other things.
Clothing Some clothing is designed to look erotic. Some underwear, in particular, is especially designed to look erotic.
Food Some food is said to make people feel erotic. Food can also be used as an erotic sign or be eaten in an erotic way.
Perfume Many perfumes have substances in them that effect the human brain in a way that makes a person feel erotic.

Eroticism and pornography

Most people believe there is a difference between erotica and pornography, but some people have argued that all erotica is "pornographic". (In other words, some people believe that all pictures, movies or writing which are sexually exciting are rude and wrong, and should not be made.)

People who have studied this subject say that erotica is not harmful to anyone, and may be helpful with people's loving relationships. The same writers say that pornography, which generally shows a person being treated without respect or love, is not helpful with people's loving relationships.

The Afrotheria is a group of mammals, (a superorder or a clade). It includes the golden moles, elephant shrews, tenrecs, aardvarks, hyraxes, elephants and manatees.

Biologists made this group based on RNA sequence analysis. Afrotheria are one of four major groups in the Eutheria (placental mammals). Afrotheria means "African animals", "afro" for Africa and "theria" for animals.

More recent genomics suggests that Afrotheria and Xenarthra are sister taxa at the base of the placental mammal radiation.

Relations between the various afrotherian orders are still being studied. Elephants and manatees seem to be related, and likewise elephant shrews and aardvarks. These findings are compatible with the work of earlier anatomists.

Organization
Afrotheria is a clade of placental mammals.
 Afrotheria
†Ocepeia: (basal)
†Hyopsodontidae: (possible member of stem group)
Clade Afroinsectiphilia
Order Macroscelidea: elephant shrews (Africa)
Order Afrosoricida: tenrecs and golden moles (Africa)
Order Tubulidentata: aardvark (Africa south of the Sahara)
Order †Bibymalagasia: (probable member)
Order †Ptolemaiida: poorly understood carnivorous mammals (extinct).
 Order †Afredentata: (probable member)
Clade Paenungulata
Order Hyracoidea: hyraxes or dassies (Africa, Arabia)
Order Proboscidea: elephants (Africa, Southeast Asia)
Order Sirenia: dugong and manatees (cosmopolitan tropical)

A wife is a married woman. "Married" means that the law says two people are legally "joined". During the marriage ceremony, the wife is called the bride.

In countries and times it has been different how many wives a man can have legally. In old times there were no limitations in some countries. In Christianity a man can have one wife. In Islam a man can have up to four wives.

There are some names for special kinds of wives. For example,
a queen is a wife of a king.

A man whose wife is deceased is called a widower.

Cohesion  or cohesive attraction or cohesive force is a physical property of an object.  It happens because of intermolecular attraction between like-molecules.

Cohesion holds hydrogen bonds together to create surface tension on water. Since water is attracted to other molecules, adhesive forces pull the water toward other molecules.

Christendom or the Christian world, in the widest sense, means Christianity as a territorial phenomenon. That means: those countries where most people are Christians and because of that are part of Christendom.

People have used the term Christendom for the medieval and Renaissance understanding of the Christian world as one single Body of Christ with Christ as the head.  With the rise of Modernity and the Reformation during the early 16th century the understanding changed to a modern idea of a tolerant and diverse society that consists of many different communities.

Balochistan or Baluchistan is an arid region on the Iranian plateau. The plateau is in Southwest Asia and South-central Asia, between Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan. The area is named after the numerous Baloch tribes.  The Baloch are of Aryan and other races who moved into the area from the west around A.D. 1000.  All natives are considered Baloch even if they do not speak the Balochi language; Pashto, Persian, Hazaragi language, and Brahui languages are also spoken in the region. The southern part of Balochistan is known as Makran. Now it is recognised by UNPO as an Unrepresented Nation.

Topography
Baluchistan's landscape is made of barren, rugged mountains and fertile land. During the summer, some regions of Baluchistan are the hottest. Most of the land is barren, particularly the Iranian and Afghan side of the region. Relatively few people live there. In the south (Makran) is the desert through which Alexander the Great passed with great difficulty.

A stalactite is a form that can be found on the ceiling of a cave. When a drop of water flows down the stalactite, the water evaporates and leaves a mineral deposit of calcite. This slowly increases the length and thickness of the stalactite.

The corresponding formation on the floor underneath a stalactite is known as a stalagmite. Given enough time, these formations can meet. The results are known as columns.

Alcibiades, son of Clinias,  c. 450–404 BC), was a prominent Athenian statesman, orator, and general. He was the last famous member of his mother's aristocratic family, which fell from power after the Peloponnesian War. He played a major role later in that conflict as a strategic advisor, military commander, and politician.

During the course of the Peloponnesian War, Alcibiades changed sides on several occasions. In his native Athens in the early 410s BC, he advocated an aggressive foreign policy, and spoke in favor of an invasion of Sicily. He fled to Sparta after his political enemies brought charges of sacrilege against him.

In Sparta, he served as a strategic adviser, proposing or supervising several major campaigns against Athens. In Sparta too, however, Alcibiades soon made powerful enemies and was forced to defect to Persia. There he served as an adviser to the satrap Tissaphernes until his Athenian political allies brought about his recall. He then served as an Athenian general for several years, but his enemies eventually succeeded in exiling him a second time.

The Sicilian Expedition to Magna Graecia was Alcibiades' idea but his enemies prevented him from commanding. His rival Nicias took command, and the expedition failed disastrously. In the years that he served Sparta, Alcibiades played a role in Athens' undoing; the capture of Decelea and the revolts of several critical Athenian subjects occurred either at his suggestion or under his supervision.

Once restored to his native city, however, he played a crucial role in a string of Athenian victories that eventually brought Sparta to seek a peace with Athens. He favored unconventional tactics, frequently winning cities over by treachery or negotiation rather than by siege.p151 Alcibiades' military and political talents frequently proved valuable to whichever state he worked for. His talent for making powerful enemies ensured that he never remained in one place for long. By the end of the war (which he had helped rekindle in the early 410s) his days of political power were a bygone memory.

In his youth Alcibiades had been a pupil of Socrates. This was something which told against Socrates at his trial.

Boleskine House is a house on the south side of Loch Ness. It is in the Scottish Highlands.  It is best known for having been the home of two famous people. First was the writer and occultist Aleister Crowley. Then later, it was the home of Jimmy Page, the guitarist for Led Zeppelin.

The house was mostly burned down by fire in December 2015.  Boleskine House is a Category B listed building in the United Kingdom, along with the stables and a small lodge (cottage). This means it has historical and cultural importance.

History
Boleskine House is 21 miles south of Inverness and close to the village of Foyers. The house was built in the 18th century as a hunting cottage or lodge. The house is right next to a graveyard. The graveyard was already thought to have ghosts and supernatural happenings, even before Crowley bought it.

Aleister Crowley
Crowley bought Boleskine House from the Archibald Fraser family in 1899.  There were rumors of him using black magic and rituals while he lived at the house.  His housekeeper had bad things happen while living there, including the death of his two children. Crowley later said that he had used too much black magic. He sold the house in 1913, because he was running out of money.

Page was already collecting things about Aleister Crowley. He was reading about him and was interested in his ideas. He bought the house and land in 1970. He thought it would be a good spooky place to help him write songs.  At the time it was in bad shape and needed repairs.  But, even though he had the house fixed up; he did not spend much time there. Page sold the house in 1992. He actually lived there for less than six weeks.

A fantasy scene for Page that was shown in Led Zeppelin's movie The Song Remains the Same was made around Boleskin House. It was made during a full moon in December, 1973. Page is climbing a mountain in the moonlight.

Later history
After Page sold it, the house was run as a guest-house.  In 2009, the house and land were put up for sale.  The sale also included 140 feet of shoreline of Loch Ness.  The new Dutch owners, who are not known, were using it as a holiday home. It is now owned by the Boleskine House Foundation and will open to the public after it has been restored.

Fire
On the afternoon of 23 December 2015, a motorist passing by saw flames and smoke coming from Boleskine House.  By the time fire crews arrived, almost 60 percent of the home was already burned. Flames were rising up to 20 feet high.  The firefighters tried to save the west wing of the house, as the rest of the building had been too badly damaged. The fire was thought to have started in the kitchen, but no one was home.

It is not known how much of Boleskine House is still standing since the fire.  A former owner said that the damage is so bad it "is unlikely it will ever be rebuilt unless there is someone out there with an interest in the occult wanting to spend a lot of money."

Chili pepper (not to be confused with the country called Chile) is the fruit of a series of plants called Capsicum (nightshade family). Chilis are now grown all over the world, but originally, they came from Mexico. They are used as spices or as vegetables, and also have some use in medicine. It is also the "National vegetable of Bangladesh".

Chile peppers are completely unrelated to the Piperaceae genus, which Black pepper is from.

History

Chili peppers have been a part of the human diet in the Americas since at least 7500 BCE. Chili peppers were domesticated over 6000 years ago in Mexico. Since then, chili peppers could be farmed throughout all of Mexico, Central America, and parts of South America.

Spelling
The word "chili" is spelled differently in different countries. They can be spelled as chili, chilli, and chile.

Chili is widely used in the United States and Canada.
Chilli is widely used in other English-speaking countries.
Chile is the most common Spanish spelling in Mexico and several other Latin American countries.

The Annual Berkeley Road Race is a annual road race that follows a 85.2 mile route through the Gloucestershire countryside. It starts and finishes in front of the Berkeley Campus Secondary School in Wanswell. Usually during the race there are break away groups due to the silly nature of the race, although there has twice during the race history been a bunch sprint at the finish line. First winner was Donovan Biggs in 2013 who edged elder brother Gavin in a sprint finish after they had broken away on the Tytherington Hill, a midway point during the race. Due to the very select nature of the event only students of Focus School Berkeley Campus can take part in the race, and dates and results seldom published anywhere but within the school and community. There are exceptions however, ex-students can race if formally invited by current students and results and race reports may be published on the Focus School Berkeley Campus website.

It is usually held mid-June and is a well attended local event and always a thriller to watch.

"A profound, aggressive plot with a surprising, exciting finish" - The Guardian

"Not to be missed for any reason - legitimate or not." - gloucestershirecountycouncil.gov

History of the main event
 2013: Donovan Biggs
 2014: Brendan Pavey
 2015: Howard Tunley (in absentia)
 2016: Brendan Pavey
 2017: Travis Martin
 2018 (anticipated): Jordan Farr- Despite serious setbacks with a series of injuries he has won two warm up time trails and the end of season race, showing his true pedigree despite unfortunate events.

"The authors of this wiki page were evidently deranged. In both the 2013/14 events, the overall winners were too young to compete in the main event. In this special case we will offer forgiveness, but we would like to see that it will never happen again." Comment: <Anonymous user> on the behalf of the confused people of Wilton Campus

The junior event
The junior Berkeley Road Race is an even more popular event and drew twice as many spectators as its parent event in 2016. It has only been two editions of this race but it is proving worthwhile, to qualify you must attend the Berkeley Campus school and be under 15 years of age. Its record attendance of 21 people astounded the competitors and it is believed that it may have contributed to Campbell Martin's come-in-from-behind victory over William Brown.  William Brown follows the family tradition of cycling.  Campbell Martin had come back from an injury earlier in the year after he grazed his knee on the playground.  William's choice of cycle is a cheap tricycle and there is ongoing dispute over whether this is legal. There has also been much speculation  over his carbon frame that he uses, which is below the 9 kg limit. The 2017 event was by far a more clean and sporting race. The  pack broke up as Campbell Martin broke away with hopes of another title 20 km from the finish, he was closely followed by Vernon Tunley and Chester Huntley. The race was far from over as 10 km from the finish a counter attack of 5 riders reeled them in. The rest was a full out battle where men were distinguished from the boys, and ended rather fittingly with Sterling Hext fighting through cramp to break away in the last 200 meters to win by a bike length and a half.

Latest news
The Team Warrior has just released its 8 man team for the next season's race with some surprising changes. It is a very high press team and expected to take out the dangerous sprint finishes of riders such as Martin, Watt and Biggs.

It has emerged that the Legendary Winston Herbert who usually specializes in Triathlon will be taking part in the 2018 version, which will be expected to create a serious competition for riders Brown, Farr and Shepperdly for the title. It has been speculated that Lynton Devenish is preparing to play this years race "dirty". Race directors have been prewarned and will have bouncers on the scene to restrain any unlawful conduct.

A Overview of last year's race
This is a transcript of last years race commentary. Commentator - Stuart Pavey (A main competitor)

From Watt to Taylor to Pavey this whole field is beginning to bunch up. Devenish crashing his way through the peleton creating something of a earthquake among the riders. It's coming into the last 500m as Martin tries his luck and surges of the front, his legs gunning like pistons and a true example of how dancing the pedals should be done. But Devenish isn't finnished yet as he claws past Martin and elbows him into the side gating there must be some penalty for that surely....

Now the final 200 the mighty William Brown is now using sheer power to out muscle Lynton and GETS THE INSIDE EDGE AS THEY BARREL AROUND THE LAST CORNER, wow some move there. But with 100m to go it's still anyone's race as Travis Martin with head down and his marginal gains slick hair style makes up 20 metres in the last straight and edges a win over the mighty William Brown to create history.
