Water bus trip from the Railway Station (Ferrovia) to Piazza San Marco.

The Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola.

The banks of the Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande) are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice. The noble Venetian families faced huge expenses to show off their richness in suitable palazzos.

It is 3,800 m long, 30--90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft).

The Church of San Simeone Piccolo, from across the Grand Canal, faces the Venezia Santa Lucia railway station. This was one of the last churches built in Venice.

From http://www.witness.org | On the Frontlines was created by Ajedi-ka and WITNESS to advocate for the cessation of voluntary recruitment of child soldiers in Eastern DRC. The video features powerful footage, shot between 2003 and 2004, of the military training of children in several militia camps in South Kivu as well as compelling testimony from demobilized child soldiers recounting the horrifying memories of life as soldiers. More than 10 militia groups operate in the region; every one of them has been reported to be using children as soldiers. Over 35% of these children are recruited voluntarily, led by a sense of patriotism or by ideas of prosperity. Parents and the community at large are often involved in this voluntary recruitment of children. On the Frontlines has been screened throughout communities in Eastern DRC in an attempt to cease the voluntary recruitment of children from these communities.

Ecuador approves Yasuni national park oil drilling in Amazon rainforest    Environmentalists devastated as president blames lack of foreign support for collapse of pioneering conservation plan  Ecuador has abandoned a pioneering conservation plan in the Amazon that attempted to raise funds from the international community instead of drilling for oil in a pristine corner of the Yasuni national park.  The  collapse of the Yasuni ITT initiative  is a devastating blow for activists who are trying to save one of the worlds most biodiverse regions from development and pollution. It also kills climate campaigners hopes that the Ecuador plan could provide a model for other nations to resist the lure of oil money and leave fossil fuels under the ground.  President Rafael Correa blamed the failure on the lack of foreign support after a trust fund set up to manage the initiative received only 13m 8.3m in deposits a tiny fraction of the 3.6bn goal.

Mexican Cartel Boss Mario Ramirez Trevino Captured

https://www.youtube.com/user/ThejmanPrepper Aug 17, 2013 MEXICO CITY, Aug 17 (Reuters) - Mexican security forces on Saturday caught the leader of the cocaine-trafficking Gulf Cartel, local media reported, the second major gang boss capture in just over a month as President Enrique Pena Nieto fights cartel violence. Mario Ramirez Trevino, known as X-20 or "The Bald One," was captured in Mexico's northern Tamaulipas state by the Mexican military, media reported. Ramirez had not long been the leader of the Gulf Cartel, whose former boss Mario Cardenas, alias "Fatso", was caught in September. The Gulf Cartel's power has waned in recent years in a feud with Mexico's most brutal gang, the Zetas, which began life providing protection to the cartel's operations in northeastern Mexico. The U.S. government had offered a $5 million bounty for Ramirez, as Washington says his cartel controls most of the cocaine and marijuana trafficking to the United States from Matamoros in Tamaulipas state. Mexico's marines last month arrested the leader of the Zetas, Miguel Angel Trevino, a few miles (km) from his hometown of Nuevo Laredo on the U.S. border. More than 70,000 people were killed during former president Felipe Calderon's six-year offensive against drug cartels and over 6,000 have died since Pena Nieto took office in December.

Water bus trip from the Railway Station (Ferrovia) to Piazza San Marco. The Grand Canal forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city. Public transport is provided by water buses (Italian: vaporetti) and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the canal by gondola. The banks of the Grand Canal (Italian: Canal Grande) are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of Venice. The noble Venetian families faced huge expenses to show off their richness in suitable palazzos. It is 3,800 m long, 30--90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters (16.5 ft). The Church of San Simeone Piccolo, from across the Grand Canal, faces the Venezia Santa Lucia railway station. This was one of the last churches built in Venice. Ponte degli Scalzi / "Bridge of the Barefoot" is one of only four bridges in Venice to span the Grand Canal. Ponte di Rialto / Rialto Bridge is the oldest bridge across the canal. May 23, 2013

From http://www.witness.org | On the Frontlines was created by Ajedi-ka and WITNESS to advocate for the cessation of voluntary recruitment of child soldiers in Eastern DRC. The video features powerful footage, shot between 2003 and 2004, of the military training of children in several militia camps in South Kivu as well as compelling testimony from demobilized child soldiers recounting the horrifying memories of life as soldiers. More than 10 militia groups operate in the region; every one of them has been reported to be using children as soldiers. Over 35% of these children are recruited voluntarily, led by a sense of patriotism or by ideas of prosperity. Parents and the community at large are often involved in this voluntary recruitment of children. On the Frontlines has been screened throughout communities in Eastern DRC in an attempt to cease the voluntary recruitment of children from these communities.

Ecuador approves Yasuni national park oil drilling in Amazon rainforest Environmentalists devastated as president blames lack of foreign support for collapse of pioneering conservation plan Ecuador has abandoned a pioneering conservation plan in the Amazon that attempted to raise funds from the international community instead of drilling for oil in a pristine corner of the Yasuni national park.

It also kills climate campaigners hopes that the Ecuador plan could provide a model for other nations to resist the lure of oil money and leave fossil fuels under the ground.
