La movilidad económica y el crecimiento de la clase media en América LatinaGraciela Slekis Riffel
Un nuevo informe del Banco Mundial, titulado La movilidad económica y el crecimiento de la clase media en América Latina, destaca el contundente crecimiento de ese segmento de la población durante los últimos 10 años.
Tras décadas de estancamiento, la clase media de la región creció de 103 millones de personas en 2003 a 152 millones en 2009, un salto del 50 por ciento.
El informe, el último de la Oficina del Economista Jefe para América Latina y el Caribe, explora las razones de este crecimiento y sus efectos en el futuro económico de la región.
Este tema será debatiod en una conversación en vivo por la web que se cumplirá este martes, a las 12.00 del mediodía, hora de la ciudad de Washington, con motivo de la presentación del informe especial La movilidad económica y el crecimiento de la clase media en América Latina.
El evento contará con la presencia del presidente del Banco Mundial, Jim Yong Kim y el economista en jefe para América Latina y el Caribe Augusto de la Torre, señaló la web del Banco Mundial.
SÍNTESIS Para el Banco Mundial:
• 30 por ciento de la población de América latina pertenece a sectores pobres,
• 38 por ciento a “vulnerables”,
• 30 por ciento a la clase media
• 2 por ciento restante son ricos.
De 1995 a 2010 la pobreza bajó del 44 al 30 por ciento.
• 40 por ciento de los hogares ascendieron de “clase socioeconómica”.
La mayoría de los pobres que ascendieron no se integraron directamente a la clase media, sino que pasaron a formar parte de los “vulnerables”, que actualmente es el sector social más numeroso de la región.
El porcentaje de pobres igualó al de la clase media, cuando hace diez años era 2,5 veces superior.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The following is an excerpt from an article published
on April 1, 2011:
“Sir Alex Ferguson is a huge admirer of X. He
says, “X will certainly have a positive impact on
Van Der Saar‟s successor. Goalkeepers often find
themselves in similar situation where they‟ve to
guess the path of the ball, use their footwork and
agility. Hence, X will be of immense help to the
Manchester United team as a Goalkeeping
advisor.”

9. Q2.
The Lanterne Rouge is a distinction offered in
Cycling, most notably the Tour de France. The
phrase comes from the French, for “Red Lantern”
and refers to the red lantern hung on the carboose of
a railway train, which conductors would look for in
order to make sure none of the couplings were
disconnected. Who is this special distinction offered
to?
10.
11. Answer
It is offered to the rider who finishes last, rather
than dropping out along the way
12. Q3
"X" comes from a Greek word , a measure of length
equalling approximately 200 metres. The oldest
known X is the one in Olympia, in the western
Peloponnese, Greece, where the Olympic Games of
antiquity were held since 776 BC.
Initially 'the Games' consisted of a single event, a
sprint along the length of the X. Therefore the length
of Olympia's X became somewhat of a standard
measure of distance.
The current connotation of X is however, different.
X?
15. Q4
Aryton Senna‟s,who died in tragic F1 crash,funeral
was a star studded affair - with
celebrities, politicians and sportsman from all over

launched his new logo - an Ashok chakra made of
something intimately connected with the sport.
The logo is supposed to mix India's rich cultural
heritage with a clean and contemporary

21. Q6
X is a sport in which competitors race while holding a
weight. The objective is for the competitors to carry the
weight through a special obstacle track in the fastest time. The
sport was first introduced at Sonkajärvi, Finland.
Several types of carry may be practised: piggyback, fireman's
carry (over the shoulder), or Estonian-style (the weight hangs
upside-down gripping the runner's waist).
One of the official rules : " All participants must have fun"
Major X competitions are held in Sonkajärvi, Finland (where
the prize depends on the weight's value in beer);
Monona, Wisconsin; Minocqua, Wisconsin; and
Marquette, Michigan.

24. Q7
The sport was popular in ancient times in
India, China, Persia, and other Eastern countries and
was introduced into Greece in the time of Themistocles
(c. 524–460 BC). For a long time the Romans affected to
despise this "Greek diversion," but they ended up
adopting it so enthusiastically that the agricultural writer
Columella (1st century AD) complained that its devotees
often spent their whole patrimony in betting at the side
of the pit.
The 2011 Tamil film Aadukalam starring Dhanush
revolves around the practice of this sport in
Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
27. AUDIENCE
The exact origins of the use of a X to end races are lost in
history, although there are many theories. A possible though unlikely
theory is that horse races during the early days of the settlement of the
American Midwest were followed by large public meals and that to signal
that the meals were ready and racing should come to an end, a
__________ tablecloth was waved.
Another origin theory claim is that the X's earliest known use was for
19th century bicycle races in France. A more likely explanation is that a
high-contrast flag would be more conspicuous against the background of
a crowd, especially when early races were run on dirt tracks.
The earliest known photographic record of a X being used in a race was
from Long Island, New York in 1904 at the inaugural Vanderbilt Cup
race.
X?
33. Q8
X was born on April 6, 1946.
He was the only child to a Roman
Catholic, Italian-American family.
Unable to live on the small pay of
club fights, and being unable to
find work anywhere else, X got a
job as an collector for Tony Gazzo,
the local loan shark, just to make
ends meet.
36. Q9
Daniel Baumat, representing Omega received an order
from FIG, an international sporting body for a set of a
scoreboards before a 1976 event. Baumat asked FIG
officials if they wanted what Omega had or a board
with enhanced capability so as to satisfy a theoretical
concept. He was told by the FIG officials that there was
no scope of this concept manifesting, so they would
take what Omega already had.
But how were the FIG officials proved wrong and
humiliated later?
39. Q10
X is a variety of bowling popular in parts of
Europe, Australia and the United States. It is the
precursor of modern day versions like ten-pin
bowling and five-pin bowling. The objective of the
game is to use the ball to knock over the Xs, either
specific ones or all of them, depending upon the
variant of Xs. The game is traditionally played on a
lawn, but can also be played indoors in a bowling
alley. The word X, however, is more popular to us
in a cricketing context.

Fox Sports had the following headline after Hamid
Soryan won a gold medal in the Greco-Roman
wrestling event at the 2012 London Olympics.
Why did it attract reactions from various sections of
the media ?
50. Q13
There is no specific time and place in history to
define the origin of X. The origin of the game in
India has strong archaeological roots going back at
least to the 12th century AD in the State of Orissa.
The famous Sun Temple of Konark has a stone relief
on the west wing of the structure clearly showing the
game of X in progress.
X was part of Olympics from 1900 to 1920.

were provided by the IOC for the 6,000 athletes in
attendance (a rough average of about 16 Xs
per athlete); for the 2012 games in
London, 150,000.
Despite seemingly large numbers, several instances
have occurred where smaller orders have resulted
in shortages. Sydney famously only provided
70,000 Xs but ran out, discovering the need to
order 20,000 more.
What is X?
75. Q19
Lines spoken by X before his life‟s greatest moments
“I wish you could see what I can see”
“Sometimes you have to be up really high to
understand how small you are”
“I am coming home now”
What happened next which resulted in history?
78. Q20
The traditional, and still most popular technique of X is to stick a
garden fork in the ground, and hit it with a stick. The consequent
vibrations bring targets to the surface where they are collected by an
assistant, known in competitive circles as a ghillie.
But the sport is rapidly evolving, with new methods emerging all the
time.
A notable use of cricket stumps,was made in X championships,
which they clobber with a bat.
Rod Trott, 68, from Cheshire was bent over a xylophone played with
bottles for extra effect. Some techniques, while strictly legal, have
proved controversial.
One involved sticking knitting needles into the ground, which critics
claimed was dangerous.”

X became the first professional player to feature on the
cover page of gay magazine Attitude when he posed nude

He went on to add : "There's a perception of lots of
committees and old men being quite prim and proper,
but I think the game is moving with the times. From my
point of view, I think doing this could be fantastic for
cricket. Hopefully this will attract a new sort of fan. If
there are any gay cricketers, they should feel confident
enough to come out, because I don't think there is
homophobia in cricket. Cricket fans are generally there to
watch the game and support their team.“

The first recorded instance of the term “____" being used was to describe
E. King Gill and his actions in Dallas on 2 January 1922, at the Dixie
Classic, the forerunner of the Cotton Bowl Classic. Texas A&M played
defending national champion Centre College in the first post-season game
in the southwest. In this hard fought game, which produced national
publicity, an underdog Aggie team was slowly but surely defeating a team
which boasted three All-Americans. Unfortunately, the first half produced
so many injuries for A&M that Coach D. X. Bible feared he wouldn‟t have
enough men to finish the game, so, he called into the Aggie section of the
stands for E. King Gill, a reserve who had left football after the regular
season to play basketball. Gill, who was spotting players for reporters at the
time and was not in football uniform, willingly volunteered. When the game
ended with an A&M victory, 22–14, E. King Gill was the only man left
standing on the sidelines for the Aggies. Gill later said, "I wish I could say
that I went in and ran for the winning touchdown, but I did not. I simply
stood by in case my team needed me. "Although he did not actually play in
the game, his readiness to play was noted.
