MALALA*
(dedicated to Malala by Syeda Henna Babar Ali)
The bullet pierced my heart– the wounded soul cries to see
a girl’s struggle… In silence as the nation prays
and wows to fight the extremism
that surrounds us. Malala, your courage rebounds in
7 billion hearts–you are shaping
our destiny and that of girls and women
around the world. You are the light– we follow you–
admire your freedom of expression
to do what is right–
to rest only when each girl in Pakistan
has access to education, is not treated as a
commodity or married young against her will.
The cruelty must now end,
we must fight back with united resolve
for our peace, for our open and tolerant society. Malala you are an education. We cannot fail you for in it we fail humanity and ourselves. We are with you, always, and you live within us.
*Malala Yousafzai is a student from the town of Mingora in Swat District, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Pakistan, known for her women’s rights activism in the Swat Valley, where the Taliban regime has banned girls from attending school. (Wikipedia)

Due to a very strong and stable economy and upcomming sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games, investment is on the increase all over Brazil. An area seeing a massive rise in foreign investment is the North East, particulary Rio Grande do Norte and major cities such as Natal and Fortaleza.
The decision reflected both u.S. anger over Russia’s harboring of NationalSecurity Agency leaker EdwardSnowden and growing frustration within the Obama administration over what itSees as Moscow’sStubbornness on other key issues, including missile defense and human rights.
Obama will still attend the group of 20 ecOnomic summit in st.Petersburg, russia, but a top white house official said the president had no plans to hold One-On-One talks with putin while there. Instead of visiting putin in moscow, the president will add a stop in sweden to his early september travel itinerary. Obama, who is traveling in california, said in an interview tuesday that he was disappointed by russia’s move to grant snowden asylum for one year.
But heSaid the move also reflected the underlying challenges the u.S.Faces in dealing with moscow. There have been times where theySlip back into Cold War thinking and a Cold War mentality, ObamaSaid in an interview on NBC’s The TonightShow.
Middle English parlai speech, probably from Middle French parlee, from Medieval Latin parabolare, from Late Latin parabola speech, parable
First Known Use: 1580*
“Parley” is a discussion or conference, especially one between enemies over terms of a truce or points in dispute or other matters; mutual discourse.
The root of the word parley is parler, which is the French verb “to speak”.
Beginning in the High Middle Ages with the expansion of monarchs, a parley, or “talk”, was a meeting held between kings and their Chief Retainers. Parleys were part of the many changes in Europe, especially regarding governments. These meetings can be attributed to the formation of parliaments, which are derived from a similar root, parliamentum, simply meaning “talking”.**
Act V Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare
Drum. Enter BRUTUS, CASSIUS, and their Army; LUCILIUS, TITINIUS, MESSALA, and others
BRUTUS: They stand, and would have parley.
