A butler is a domestic worker in a large household. In great houses, the household is sometimes divided into departments with the butler in charge of the dining room, wine cellar, and pantry. Some also have charge of the entire parlour floor, and housekeepers caring for the entire house and its appearance. A butler is usually male, and in charge of male servants, while a housekeeper is usually a woman, and in charge of female servants. Traditionally, male servants (such as footmen) were rarer and therefore better paid and of higher status than female servants. The butler, as the senior male servant, has the highest servant status. He can also be sometimes used as a chauffeur.
In older houses where the butler is the most senior worker, titles such as majordomo, butler administrator, house manager, manservant, staff manager, chief of staff, staff captain, estate manager and head of household staff are sometimes given. The precise duties of the employee will vary to some extent in line with the title given, but perhaps, more importantly in line with the requirements of the individual employer. In the grandest homes or when the employer owns more than one residence, there is sometimes an estate manager of higher rank than the butler.
Alec or Aleck is a form of Alex, a given name related to Alexander. Notable people with the name include:

Pride Week is a ten-day event held in Toronto, Canada, during the end of June each year. It is a celebration of the diversity of the LGBT community in the Greater Toronto Area. It is one of the largest organized gay pride festivals in the world, featuring several stages with live performers and DJs, several licensed venues, a large Dyke March, a Trans March and the Pride Parade. The centre of Pride Week is the city's Church and Wellesley village, while the parade and marches are primarily routed along the nearby Yonge Street, Gerrard Street and Bloor Street. In 2014, the week served as the fourth international WorldPride, and was much larger than standard Toronto Prides.
Pride Week is organized by Pride Toronto, a non-profit organization. A small complement of seven staff support the work of 19 festival teams and six advisors; each team is responsible for an aspect of the festival. Each team is administered by two or three volunteer team leads. The long-term vision for, and strategic oversight of, the organization and the festival is managed by 12 volunteers on the board of directors.

Alec Butler nació en 1959 y desde ese momento todo el mundo asumió que se trataba de una niña, pues es lo que indicaban sus órganos sexuales externos. Sin embargo, cuando tenía 12 años, en plena pubertad, comenzó a desarrollar barba a la vez que tenía la menstruación, lo que confusión entre su familia y sus doctores. Según explica Butler, los médicos de su ciudad canadiense no sabían lo que era la intersexualidad, que era lo que realmente tenía. Debido a esta ignorancia, un médico les llego a recomendar el internamiento en un psiquiátrico para que aprendiera a "vestirse y a usar maquillaje", aunque sus padres se negaron. Sin embargo, lo peor fue en la escuela y en la sociedad, donde no le aceptaban porque, por ejemplo, quería llevar pantalones en una época en la que las niñas no los lleva...

Our Interview with Alex Butler of West Virginia State University, Mr. Butler is from Northern Virginia. The interview was conducted live on air during a show on WLVS Radio.
Entrepreneur and cofounder of Sabaja Craft Brewery, Alex’s idea worth spreading is that the simplest things and often most obvious, such as music, beer and love, can be the key components to bringing people of same interest and preferences together. Moreover, he talks about choosing to be a newborn once more, and how by facing the unknown head on, he has found the first micro – brewery in Kosovo and the way that something as simple as beer can serve as an initiator on new communities of cooperation. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized ...

On March 12, 2017, at the 519 Community Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, members from the LGBTQ communities across the city gathered to discuss past and future relations with police services. "No More S#%&!" combines a panel of community speakers and a participatory World Cafe-style conversation all of which revisits the 1981 Bathhouse Raids and considers whose stories are being told and how we might re-envision Toronto's LGBTQ history. Topics included police criminalization and brutality, carding, nationalism, decolonization, and appropriate community responses to such behaviour. In the wake of Toronto Police Services's Project Marie park raids, the #BlackLivesMatter protests in Toronto's Pride 2016 parade, and recent changes to Toronto Pride's policies of inclusion, our objective was ...

Miguel Anxo Bastos hace una comparación entre Capitalismo y Socialismo para determinar cuál tiene mayores ventajas. En primera instancia, menciona rasgos del Socialismo: ausencia de libertad y de propiedad privada, explotación del trabajador, privilegios de la burocracia estatal e imposibilidad de cálculo económico, entre otros; que en su opinión hacen del mismo un sistema injusto e insostenible donde no puede existir prosperidad. También, presenta las ventajas del Capitalismo: forma justa de asignar de los recursos, capacidad de producción, pago de salarios a los trabajadores y una estructura que permite mayores ventajas para alcanzar el desarrollo económico.
