The Dow Chemical Co. spent $2.2 million in the first quarter to lobby the government on issues ranging from trade to energy efficiency, according to a recent disclosure report.

The expenditure compared with the $2 million it spent in the year-ago quarter and $1.5 million spent in the fourth quarter.

From January through March, the chemical manufacturer discussed trade issues, including market access to Thailand, India and China.

In addition, it lobbied on the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Environmental Protection Agency's regulation of greenhouse gases.

Dow Chemical also discussed legislation related to energy efficiency, taxes, health reform, and chemical and transportation security issues.

In addition to Congress, Dow Chemical lobbied a number of agencies, including the departments of Commerce, Treasury and Health and Human Services, the U.S. Trade Representative, the EPA and the White House, according to the report filed April 20 with the House clerk's office.

Nkem Owoh Monalisa Chinda Desmond Elliot Light Up Kenya The Missing Piece documentary recounting theft of Mona Lisa

By Grace Kerongo On Thursday, May 26, 2011, the students of the United States International University (USIU) enjoyed an interactive literary night.
And in coming top in the poll of over 1000 Italians, Canova's early 19th-century sculpture, Paolina Borghese, beat celebrated female figures painted by Botticelli, Titian and Hayez - and left Leonardo's Mona Lisa for dead.

this is not monalisa by irawan - long time already never update anything, this is not monalisa, but i hope you like it

Monalisa is a Bollywood and Bengali Actress which is well known for her boldness. Her real name is Antara Biswas and she changed this to Monalisa to find luck in industry. She acted in Bengali and Bollywood Movies.

For the centenary of the theft of the Mona Lisa, writer Joe Medeiros has created a complete documentary about the painting known in France as La Joconde. The documentary is entitled “The Missing Piece” and promises to unveil the secrets around this legendary theft.

The author is fascinated by the theft of the Mona Lisa that occurred on 21 August 1911 at the Louvre. An Italian immigrant and house painter called Vincenzo Perugia stole the canvas from the museum and kept it in his Parisian flat for two years. He was arrested when he returned to Florence and gave the painting to an Italian art dealer. Perugia affirmed that he robbed the piece to return it to the Italian people.

“The Missing Piece” recounts the story of this historic theft. Medeiros met Perugia’s great-granddaughter, Celestine, aged eighty-four. He asked her to explain the reasons for such a crime. The ill and elderly woman evoked the shame that had surrounded the family since the event and declared they rarely talked about the subject at home. She too was apparently searching for the truth. A group of researchers looked through the Louvre’s archives and over time, diverse documents and letters were found, enabling researchers to gain insight into Perugia and understand the true motives for the crime.

“The Missing Piece” is a unique documentary that recounts a breathtaking story. It was directed by Joe and Justine Medeiros and will be released on 21 August 2011

South Sudan Becomes World's Newest Nation Sudanese in Kansas City celebrate birth of South Sudan

•

South Sudan will become the world's newest country on Saturday as it declares its independence. In anticipation of an uneasy transition to statehood, the United Nations authorized sending 7000 troops and 900 police on Friday to help

The United States isn’t the only nation whose independence is being commemorated this month in Kansas City.

On Friday night, scores of Sudanese living in Kansas City gathered at Grace Church of the Nazarene to celebrate the birth of the Republic of South Sudan.

“To finally have an independent, free nation is a blessing from God,” said Robert Kori, who came to the United States 12 years ago. “We’ve waited a long time for this.”

In January, the people of South Sudan voted to split from the country’s northern region, which is mostly Arab, after decades of fighting and oppression. The most recent civil war started in 1983 and ended in 2005 under a peace deal brokered by the international community.

Despite the heat, many of the men came to the church on Independence Avenue in their best suits, while the women wore dresses made from traditional African prints. They planned to pray for the Republic of South Sudan and, shortly after midnight, sing the new country’s anthem.

CNN coverage of today’s independence celebrations — South Sudan is about eight hours ahead of Kansas City — was going to be projected on a screen in the church’s sanctuary.

“We’ll be here until the wee hours of the morning,” said Joey Condon, a pastor at Grace Church.

The congregation has plans to hold regular worship services for Old Northeast’s Sudanese community.

Kori, who is now a U.S. citizen, has thought about returning to South Sudan, but he probably won’t do so for five or six years. That’s how long he thinks it will take the new country to find its feet.

“You can’t achieve that overnight,” he said.

Experts say South Sudan is one of the world’s most underdeveloped nations. Only 15 percent of the population is literate. The new country is roughly the size of Texas, but it only has about 30 miles of paved roads
