Kofi Annan resign as special envoy of the UN to Syria
Kofi Annan on Thursday announced his resignation as Special Envoy of the United Nations (UN) and the Syrian Arab League, said the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon in New York. Annan requested that its mandate is not renewed when it expires next August 31, DPA reported. "I would like to express my deep gratitude to Mr. Annan by the determined and courageous efforts undertaken as special envoy to Syria together," said Ban. Annan threw the towel as a mediator for Syria after reaching the conclusion that under the current escalation of violence and division of the international community a political solution is impossible, say observers, he said Efe. "It is impossible for me or anyone else convince the government and opposition take steps to open a political process, "Annan told a news conference after Secretary General Ban Ki-moon announced he will step down Aug. 31. The special envoy still joint UN and Syrian Arab League announced its decision by letter to Ban, who announced "with deep regret" his resignation and regret his departure amid the "spiral of violence" in the country. The Annan press conference in Geneva was announced by surprise, minutes before it was confirmed that a waiver on for weeks there was speculation in diplomatic circles. In private, public, and most recently, former Secretary General of the United Nations had complained especially the lack of unity in the international community to end 17 months of armed conflict, something he reiterated in his testimony on Thursday. Still, he wanted to leave a crack open to hope in finding that "Syria can still be saved from the worst calamity "if the international community assumes its responsibility. "I have not received all the support they needed ... There is cause division among the international community and this is something that does not facilitate the task of the mediator," he lamented the former UN secretary general, who said he will continue to work until late August as it has done to date. Five months after accepting the mediation mission on behalf of the UN and the Arab League, Annan dismissed a statement reading in which he explained that agreed to take "what some called 'mission impossible'," because it was "a sacred duty to do whatever we could to help the Syrian people to find a solution." The growing militarization on the ground and the lack of unity international community, represented by the lack of unanimity in the Security Council of the UN, are the main elements that have led to the decision to resign. Annan was especially critical of the permanent members of UN Security (China, Russia, United States, France and UK), whom he accused of "sign with his finger and exchange insults when we needed actions."The diplomat predicted that "the bloodshed will continue" in Syria, and attributed to First, "the Syrian government's intransigence," and second "to the escalation of the military campaign of the opposition, together with the international division". also said his peace plan presented six points in April, and including a ceasefire and the establishment of a political transition process through a national unity government, "remains on the table," but added that now must be the Security Council that it assumes as its own. Also still on the table the Geneva Declaration of 30 June in which the Task Force for Syria called for a national transitional government, with participation of the Asad regime Bacher and the opposition as peaceful resolution of conflict. Diplomats indicated that this document has been born as "worthless" and that was the ultimate finding by Annan that there was no real political will among world leaders to seriously address the civil war in Syria. Annan's resignation was a surprise although last week sources close to the Ghanaian diplomat who leaked envoy was rethinking its mission, tired of words and lack of action, both of the protagonists of the conflict, the Security Council of United Nations. Annan has applied its diplomatic experience in these five months, with constant trips to the region, including Damascus and major political capitals, but in vain. began its mediation in March, on behalf of the UN and Arab League presenting a peace plan that only six points got a brief respite in the early days of April. His patience reached its peak after China and Russia to return to exercise its veto twice in the Security Council last day 19, rejecting the imposition of economic sanctions on Syria, a decision was "disappointing" for the mediator. The rejection came after Annan traveled to Moscow and held a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, "that came with the solid feeling that the compromise was possible "to confirm after the words are not translated into action.

Bolivia announces a new era without capitalism or Coca-Cola
Bolivia has begun in the countdown to the end of the Coca-Cola , at least for consumption in the country, set for December 21, 2012. The decision "will be in line with the end of the Mayan calendar and will be part of the celebrations to mark the end of capitalism and the beginning of the culture of life", as quoted Foreign Minister, David Choquehuanca . Bolivian Foreign Minister's statement, the ideologue of the Aymara world view - trying to print in the thinking of government - has had as scenario the religious town of Copacabana with a sanctuary and a pre-Columbian astronomical observatory on the shores of Lake Titicaca, suitable to talk about a new era: the end of one period and the beginning of another auspicious in line with the Mayan prophecies and the series of related films and feared a possible end of the world. "On December 21, 2012 is the end of selfishness, division, on December 21 must be the end of the Coca-Cola, and the beginning of mocochinche (soft peach). The planets are aligned after 26,000 years, "said the chancellor to say that this is a very important date for the planet. Choquehuanca, who accompanied President Evo Morales to inaugurate construction of an airport in Copacabana to promote tourism, pointed out that, to the Mayan calendar "must end the macha , we are in the surf clam , darkness. It's the end of hatred and the beginning of love is the end of capitalism and is the beginning of the Pacha , love, communitarianism, "referring to a form of fraternal cooperation between the Indians were accustomed to plant highland, harvest and work for the common good. The serious threat that hangs over those addicted to Coca-Cola has already led to estimates of the cost of painful change, but the popular drink flag of capitalism has advantages when it comes to prices. A two-liter bottle worth equivalent to 65 euro cents. In contrast, the same amount of dried peach boiled reaches a euro and 20 cents. To make matters worse, the "long drink" more required in this country is the "Cuba Libre" based on a Caribbean rum with ice and lots of Coca-Cola probably would not matter if it is replaced with moccochinche or wilcaparu agüita of a purple corn boiled with milk is intended for the upbringing of infants. The Foreign Ministry noted that the end of the Coca-Cola has been more of a symbolism used by the Minister Choquehuanca to highlight the completion of an era, as the Mayan calendar. However, for December 21 has scheduled a big gathering of Indians from the five continents which will stage the Isla del Sol, in the Bolivian side of Titicaca where according to legend, came Manco Kapac and Mama Ocllo that later from Macchu Pichu, organized the empire of the Incas. Meanwhile, in Cochabamba and La Paz and circulate bottles of cola-based coca, caffeine and carbonated water, and more international as Coca-Energy, which are intended to gain markets and oust the drink is flag of capitalism.

Of the 955 million active users 83 million fake accounts on Facebook!
An idea began on February 4, 2004 today in the year 2012, has been immense and is the popular social networking tool for millions of people around the world. In Facebook, although it began as a way to communicate with his friends, where the physical distance separating them, these days a lot more. It is a place for endless flirting and dating, to create groups with diverse content and of course for free advertising, whether for companies or giants for the smaller store on the planet. While the fears and reservations about its use and for public unknowns that can come into contact or even more for socializing and the "blind" appointment that favors this means of communication, new information on users come to strengthen their voices opposed to Facebook.

Usually, this means that the profiles are created, used to send spam messages or other content. So, then, is the attention to the demands of friendship that accepts a user or a good filtering profiles with which is connected.

Robert Pattinson Kristen Stewart by mistake: it grew out, the evidence 5
Kristen Stewart Twilight heroine deceived his former board colleague Robert Pattinson.Since then, those who played in a remake (very personal) of "Snow White" apologize profusely, without much success. For our contributor Caroline Parlanti, follower of the tabloids, it's probably a blessing in disguise. If there is one that no longer really need to worry for his career, Robert Pattinson. The Briton, 26,publicly humiliated by his girlfriend for three years , the young Kristen Stewart has the best role in this story of deception, and seems mainly play hard.
1. He plays the broken men
On the one hand, it obviously did nothing wrong, since he was scoffed at by odiously Kristen Stewart and director of "Snow White", Rupert Sanders. "Rob is very hurt by Kristen. He would never have imagined that it is capable of being unfaithful, it is not like the idea he had of it," he told a relative of the young man Radar Online site . In life, the actor seems to stick to his character of Edward Cullen role that made him famous and worldwide adulation. This is not to offend the fans of the saga.
2. It is discreet
Then Robert is the only one not to have given on this adultery, which is, you will admit, to his credit.He prefers to let people speak for him. "For now, it does not mean anything in public until he knows what he really wants to do," says the source. There is one who speaks when he has something to say, unlike all the protagonists of this story, which flow a bit in the press. Robert Pattinson went so far as to demand custody of the dog, Bear, they had adopted together with Kristen Stewart. "Rob was so hurt by the actions of Kristen that he decided he wanted the dog for help overcome what had happened. After all, the dog is the best friend of man and Bear is a very good companion, "said another friend of the actor. One more point for Robert Pattinson, who plays on the heartstrings.
3. Courage
Determined to understand why it was wrong, Robert would get a face to face with his rival, the director Ruper Sanders. "Kristen has already betrayed his trust by deceiving so it can not be sure she will tell the truth. Rupert has a wife and a family save so he feels he has nothing to lose and be honest with him, "said a source at Radar Online. Robert is not afraid of confrontation.
4. He is magnanimous
After leaving Kristen Stewart harassing text messages and call constantly, R-Patz, great lord, would have agreed to meet him. "Rob will not let deception," said still to People magazine, if the it was feared that the actor gives too fast. But he chooses or not to give another chance to Kristen Stewart, the audience will understand without doubt. In the first case, it will make concessions to save your relationship. In another, he will have every reason in the world does not forgive him. Faced with such perfection, I wonder: R-Patz is it does not even too much? From beginning to end, his attitude is perfect, as if a press had dictated his course of action to emerge stronger from this scandal.
5. The privilege of the exception
The strongest in all this is that Robert is a man, and that the men violated in Hollywood are not legion. In general, it is they who leave their wives and children to run with another woman: Brad Pitt, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse James, Tony Parker, Woody Allen, Hugh Grant, and so on, have deceived their companion. Finally, if Jennifer Aniston had not been plated for Angelina Jolie, could she have had the popularity it enjoys today? Eva Longoria would it have the same capital sympathy? Not so sure. If Robert was heartbroken, he consoles himself: the world wants to comfort him.

Social networks are essential for electoral campaigns in the era of Web 2.0. Aware of this, Twitter has decided to launch a tool able to highlight the level of satisfaction of its users against Barack Obama and Mitt Romney , U.S. presidential candidates. Work on this project, called precisely Twitter Political Index, Topsy is the agency charged with analyzing the approximately "400 million tweets" that are being launched every day on this topic. "It 's like having access to conversations about the elections taking place every day in all countries," he told the newspaper Liberation Duncan Greatwood, who heads the project. "Topsy analyzes tweets in real time to understand what people talk about and make it intelligible." With this tool Twitter was indeed able to " take the pulse of the election campaign , "according to the Greatwood said. U.S. presidential, we measure the popularity of candidates on Twitter„ The same opinion is Adam Sharp, one of the key men at the head of the social network. Topsy would have the merit of providing a "new perspective" on the opinions of voters, "thus allowing a more complete overview of the political expectations." Although there are detractors of Political Twitter Index, the project designers confirm the reliability of the results provided. Topsy would have nothing to envy to the surveys made by companies such as the Gallup Institute, as the data would be corrected in "more than 90% of cases." To find out if this is true or not, we just have to wait until November 6, the day of the presidential election.
