When Bruno Hernani was a child his father’s job took the family out of the crowded capital of Lima It was there that he was first exposed to his culture’s local indigenous knowledge of agriculture those early experiences continued to shape his life Hernani achieved his bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering in Peru he visited rural and poor farming communities located on the coast and highlands of Peru he developed a strong interest in the concept of environmentalism and sustainability Hernani moved to Canada in 2005 to study sustainable development issues and he achieved his master’s degree in science in environment and management at Royal Roads University in British Columbia Hernani got a job working as an environmental consultant in the area of green technologies in Regina involved creating a green roof for a local restaurant turning an otherwise boring concrete roof into a useful garden space Hernani’s work takes him all over Canada as well as to South America he met a young man cleaning at a resort and the two struck up a conversation The worker was from one of the villages in the highlands who had left his home in search of employment This young man would prove to be a source of great inspiration for Hernani “He was very intelligent and has an incredible amount of knowledge — and I realized he could do so much for his community back home if he was given the opportunity,” explains Hernani The encounter furthered his resolve to work with people in the rural areas who were leaving their land where they were once able to grow food and raise livestock Many of these workers end up living in cramped conditions with poor paying jobs Hernani started to dream of creating an organization that would help develop sustainable communities in those poor and rural farming areas; communities where people felt pride in their abilities and confident in the knowledge they had been passed through the generations But when Hernani tried to start a non-profit organization in Peru “There is a lot of corruption at home and that makes it very difficult for people to start this type of organization The government is worried people will start non-profit organizations for their own personal gain,” says Hernani Hernani returned to Canada and started sharing his ideas with friends and colleagues Some of these people shared his vision and have helped him get his organization started This is how GreenRoots Sustainable Living was born and “Roots” represents indigenous knowledge and culture Hernani’s work has focused on sharing environmental information and education in Canada He presented information about his organization at the Indigenous Food Symposium in Saskatoon Hernani hopes his organization will be able to bring Peruvian villagers to Saskatchewan allowing them to exchange agricultural information with Canadian farmers He feels that the experience will give indigenous farmers a different perspective and provide them with confidence in their own knowledge By having farmers from both Peru and Canada share knowledge both countries will hopefully prosper agriculturally His message is simple: “It’s important to preserve indigenous knowledge for agricultural communities to remain sustainable.” Canadian Immigrant is a national multimedia platform to help immigrants succeed in Canada by providing the information the magazine began with a mandate to "inform educate and motivate" immigrants to Canada and assist them in their new found journey the magazine has grown to be the only national multi-platform brand for all immigrants to Canada on topics from careers to education to settlement Canadian Immigrant not only connects newcomers in Canada but also aspiring immigrants from more than 150 countries Canadian Immigrant newsletters include news and content relating to the publication - Canadian Immigrant * Your personal information will be used to better tailor the offers, promotions and other communications that we deliver.

In Register ESTEVAN – The Estevan Art Gallery & Museum (EAGM) is currently hosting Fibonacci the first solo exhibition by Peruvian-born and Regina-based artist Bruno Hernani the exhibition explores the intricate connections between mathematics nature and music through Hernani’s bold the opportunity to see his work displayed in a gallery setting has been both exciting and enlightening “I feel really happy about how it turned out,” he said during a meet and greet at the gallery on Feb so it’s just different feelings.” The experience of viewing his pieces from a new perspective “As I’m walking through the whole exhibition I just have a feeling for each piece … It will help me to grow as an artist It gives me more ideas and inspirations for my own work.” a mathematical pattern found throughout nature from the spirals of shells to the branching of trees This concept is at the heart of Hernani’s work was my start point to develop these paintings It’s kind of like the beginning of life,” he explained Hernani’s art blends structure with spontaneity reflecting his unique background in both engineering and visual art They are two balanced concepts for me,” he said His bright and colourful paintings combine geometric patterns with fluid mirroring the ways in which order and chaos coexist in the natural world “That’s what I would like to express – it’s just the balance between structure and freedom.” The artist’s deep admiration for Inca architecture also plays a significant role in his creative process “The specific elements of Inca structures and temples are synchronicity precision and alignments with natural elements,” he explained in an earlier interview with EAGM director/curator Tye Dandridge-Evancio “They influence my composition by providing me with a sense of order and organized configuration.” Many of the works featured in Fibonacci were created specifically for this exhibition though some originated from other projects The two Nature of Geometry pieces displayed at the EAGM were created as part of the BMO National Mural Series by BMO in collaboration with STEPS Public Art at the BMO Southland Mall Branch Hernani noted that the entire project includes four murals creating a 360-degree skyline Hernani’s approach to painting is deeply experimental “The spontaneity during the creation process of each composition allows me to explore freely not only new configurations but also new ways to paint and combine colours,” he said “This has taught me as an artist that the creative process is a constant process and full of endless discoveries.” Hernani noted that his dual passions for structure and creativity have shaped his artistic evolution “It’s kind of back and forth with structure and freedom.” While he is currently focused on his art career he hasn’t ruled out returning to his engineering roots in the future So I think in a few years I’ll start going back into it but with art school – to rediscover it geometry and movement to express complex ideas about harmony and interconnectedness Fibonacci will be on display at the Estevan Art Gallery & Museum until March 28 The workers of Gureola-Cellulosas of Hernani have also seen more than they have seen in the asphyxiating factory What did not touch in the mythical flood of 1983 the Urumea covered them up to the meter and a half dozens of water-drowned motorcycles and sludges The main ones cited losses amounting to EUR 5 million Workers are mobilized to try to save what they can without seeing any reason to move forward to their older people after cutting supplies Twice a week they are shown in Hernani Square facilities and machines to keep them intact Between Hernani Rugby Camp and the Iron Road the working centre that celebrated its anniversary and 47 workers play the future In the pages of the history of Gureola you can read the decline of the paper industry in the decade of 1966 the multinational Scott bought the humpback that gave almost 500 workers it carried out the whole process from the exploitation of the pine forests of the area to the sale of processed paper products In the following years the whole parts of the paper were demolished: at the initial end of the process the cellulose production mill from the wood at the other end manipulated to finish the products Scott explained in 1997 his final closure plan Among the workers now there are some who had to work hard to keep the factory from closing while the rest went home with the compensation already paid Gureola was bought in 1999 by a group of paper mills in Gipuzkoa among them the owners of the Spanish Waste Paper By then many of the famous stationery of Oria and Urumea had already disappeared others were going to be destroyed in the following years the change of ownership will take place every five years Gureola was acquired by the Jofel Association for sale to Beasme after five years.. and from his hands a new property was premiered in 2011 made up of the Web Ray companies and Circles Tisu from what is used in the kitchen and in the bathroom together with the Black Clawson machine which was brought in 1968 – 40 tonnes of paper a day – the new Toscotec brand – 60 tonnes a day – was introduced in 2007 for EUR 8 million Costs higher than expected from the start-up of the new machine investments in compliance with new environmental standards tensions generated by the payments of the investments made...One of the interlocutors witnessed in 2009 the passionate controversy between the then owner and Juan Miguel Etxeberria which for many years led to the direction of Gureola are the owners of Gureola in the past year and a half the workers were told that they intended to invest EUR 10 million which they were financially supporting a Canadian group which was known to pay a little money to its suppliers including small businesses in Hernani and the surrounding area Cellmark is the financier who controls both purchases and sales On 30 July production was halted in the absence of supplies some workers had come to pay some of the items in their pocket The biggest sin for a continuous producer of paper is to let the machine stop The workers have been monitoring the factory for two months for fear that some thief might spoil the machines forever Be able to sell in the event of liquidation This website is using a security service

No. 236383 | Registered office: The Adelphi, 1-11 John Adam Street, London, WC2N 6HT | VAT Reg No: GB 340 436 876 head of securities services of SIX unveils the group's journey into the digital asset space head of the Spanish stock exchange Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (BME) and head of securities services for the Swiss exchange SIX which bought BME last year wants to position the two firms at the forefront of the digital asset space One of the key challenges in post-trade services for Hernani is the digital environment and analysing how to help clients navigate the digital asset space with safety the Group has unveiled a multitude of projects including its investment in SIX's digital exchange called SDX Whilst the exchange was unveiled in 2018 for launch in 2019 The exchange is still awaiting regulatory approval for SDX "The Group has a big investment into digital We have an initiative called SDX and it is focused on the digitalisation of all processes We are well advanced into trying to bring the benefits of safety and regulation into the efficiencies speed and scalability of the digital world which I think can bring a lot of advantages in the future going forward dealt with in a blockchain environment as there is no need to move them around the world means that everything can happen in a very safe and controlled environment," Hernani told Global Investor After Swiss Group completed the acquisition of its Spanish counterpart in June last year Hernani was named head of the securities services business in January 2021 and has been focusing on integrating the two businesses telling Global Investor: "As newly head of securities services I have been very concentrated on the integration of BME and SIX This was a big opportunity to make the Spanish and Swiss infrastructures work together as they have different locations and clients as well as a different reach and set of services." Another key challenge that Hernani highlights is the severe restructuring that the banking sector is undergoing He says the negative interest rate environment in the Eurozone places banks in a complex situation BME is also taking part in a blockchain-based facility that would initially focus on commercial loans and bonds but going forward the exchange said it would look into how it can apply this technology in a multi-asset marketplace to provide liquidity and exposure for clients' different assets that can be tokenised "We want to open the possibility for our customers to invest into different asset classes which may not be correlated to bonds and equities regulation will have to allow for it because we are still in the early days of getting coverage from regulation for everything that is a digital asset or token," adds Hernani A second technological initiative for the firm will look to address tax-related services for clients "Another very important process is our tax services in terms of dealing with withholding tax and tax claims The digital world will also help us deploy this because it's putting together these two elements the technology and the service," said Hernani The final challenge for post-trade services that Hernani notes is the importance placed on being an international player He says that local service providers are limited in scope which is not a good idea from a survival point of view SIX acquired in June last year 93.16% of the equity share capital of BME with 77,899,990 BME shares for €2.57 billion (£2.18 billion) Terms & Conditions Privacy

photos in the red-lighted room darkroom for the meticulous eyes of DEMS’ once master editor-mentor and most revered photojournalist\trainer Virgilio “Vir” Montecastro who had the perfect eye for the best image this was how Boy masterfully developed his skill in photography always with a bucket full of patience and perseverance starting from the planning stage before covering events up to the time that he had to produce and present his black and white copies Always with utmost care and mindfulness to details like the exact light and timing in capturing “the moment” Another friend and colleague in Media Mindanao News Service (MMNS) “Medel ‘Boy’ Hernani remains one of the photographers I look up to Not because I am a fellow photographer (I am not) but because of the dedication and passion that he gives for journalism and the art of photography as members of the Media Mindanao News Service or MMNs Boyax then was the senior and head photographer of MMNS.” The stark reality as projected in human faces and even the tense situations were unmistakable in many of the black and white images churned out by Boy’s searching eyes and lenses such that even if the situation had happened from the past the photos seemingly still bring the viewer that feeling of looking at the scene in the present time Some of these images were those of the Indigenous Peoples living in dire poverty up in the harsh environs of Talaingod when Boy was among those who joined the Relief and Fact-Finding Mission conducted by Human Rights groups and other non-government agencies working with the religious groups in Davao City Having been raised and grown into an impoverished family himself who had to survive on sparse income in the so-called squatters’ (informal settlers) area in Bugak Boy had known what it was to be hungry and destitute The discipline must have grown into him at a very young age when Boy had worked to earn his keep and helped his impoverished family earn a living by whatever means like washing abaca fibres when he was still very small and could barely lift a heavy load Much later as he tried to continue his studies after his parents could not support him he worked his way persistently up and determinedly finish his college degree at a local university when he joined an alternative media outfit in Davao City the Media Mindanao News Service (MMNS) in the early 90s after most established media had been shut down through the years following the declaration of Martial Law of then President Ferdinand Marcos Sr. the difficult coverage in the city outskirts had proved his mettle One memorable coverage happened somewhere in Surigao together with a team composed of writers and some religious groups who were approached by families of the soldiers who became prisoners-of-war or (POW) by the New Peoples’ Army (NPA) and were due for release at that time Boy recalls that it was the most difficult coverage he had ever experienced as a photojournalist The team was brought by a guide who knew about the area where the POWs were it was a harrowing and nerve-wracking experience as he was filled with dreaded thoughts of getting hit in the event of a crossfire even as walking through dense foliage and difficult terrain for hours on end made him wonder if he would still come out alive after the assignment before he knew it and after several hours of endless trekking they finally came upon the soldiers held by the rebels Though he could no longer recall their names and that was the camaraderie that seemed to have developed between captors and captives “Nakita nako nga managhigala na ang mga sundalo ug NPA nga maoy nag gwardiya nila Sulti sa labaw sa mga sundalong na pow maayo ang pag tratar sa mga NPA sa ilaha.” Dihang na print na nako ang mga photos makalipay tan-awon nga maayo ang relasyon sa mga rebelde ngadto sa mga sundalo Ang realization nga bisan lisud ug delikado ang maong coverage apan kabahin ko sa grupo sa pagbuhi sa mga sundalo nga na POW.” (I saw that the soldiers and the NPA seemed to be friends already Even the leader among the soldiers told us that they were being treated well by their captors it felt good to see the seeming good relation between the soldiers and the rebels even if it was the most dangerous and difficult coverage I’ve ever experience I was happy to be part of that team that saw the release of the soldiers.) decades that he continued to document through his lenses the different life events among the very least the workers and the realities among the urban dwellers where he started Boy said it seems like the years have come and gone and nothing significant has really happened since then “Murag wa pa mo sink in sa akoa nga upat na diay ka dekada kong nag coverage pag capture sa kalisud nga gibati sa mga mag-uuma kay hangtud karon mao gihapon ang ilang kahimtang ata Manobo sa Talaingod hangtud karon nagpadayong adunay hulga sa ilang kinabuhi aron lang ma depensahan ang yutang kabilin batok sa mga gustong moilog niini,” he sadly reflected (It seems like the four decades that I have been covering and capturing the difficulties of the farmers have since passed but their situation still remains the same today The farmers are still suffering with low production in the farms that are being bought at low prices are still being confronted with threats against their lives as they continue to defend their ancestral lands against big land grabbers.) As senior photographer of Davao Today in the later years before he slackened his pace in coverage he consistently shared his passion to his young colleagues who is following Boy’s footsteps as photojournalist Lumad women join the call to lift Martial Law in Mindanao following the end of the Marawi crisis in a protest held at the Freedom Park in Davao City on Friday October 27 Organizers said the protest is in line with their commemoration of the National Women’s Day of Protest today October 28 which started in 1983 as an anti-Marcos protest he hopes that through the images that he painstakingly captured through the years people will remember and that the next generation will learn the struggles of so many Filipinos who have been living on the fringes of society With the help of well-meaning friends and acquaintances that he has worked with through the years Boy hopes to contribute to the current efforts among historians and advocates of human rights to defend and preserve historical facts that are being threatened by disinformation and fake news trolls nowadays veteran alternative news writer and development worker whose passion is to write stories of the Mindanao Lumad and women in their quest for social justice Her previous column is called Kanak gamay na kyatigaman (My little understanding) under her maiden name Fides Avellanosa Researchers from the International Research Institute of Disaster Science (IRIDeS) at Tohoku University in Sendai have been looking into how tsunami-type waves can originate from massive storm systems massive storm systems can be the cause of devastating tsunami-type waves which struck the Philippines in November 2013 Typhoon Haiyan was one of the strongest typhoons ever recorded A development aid worker caught a scene on video where a wave devastated parts of a small fishing village (see Fig The wave swept away entire houses and was reminiscent of the tsunami waves that followed the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011 Roeber and Bricker have investigated the generation and characteristics of this phenomenon and have found a surprisingly simple explanation called "surf beat." their wavelength determines the propagation speed Longer waves overtake shorter ones and the superposition of multiple waves leads to the formation of wave groups often referred to as "sets." The wave groups can be considered as an additional long wave component embedded in the sea state and bound by the storm waves the long wave component is not directly visible because it is very long and superimposed by other short waves "The long group waves can have wavelengths of several kilometers but their height is much lower than that of the individual storm waves This is similar to what characterizes nearshore tsunamis," explains Roeber the accumulated water level pulsates with the wave groups This is what's called the "surf beat" and it can be observed at many beaches worldwide While a surf beat is usually harmless and goes unnoticed it had a devastating impact on the town of Hernani during Typhoon Haiyan What's more surprising is that Hernani is located behind a 0.5 km wide fringing reef we have believed that reefs serve as a reliable protection from storm waves" It turned out that the steep slope of the reef that leads towards the open ocean allows for only a very short wave-breaking zone the breaking process affected mostly the short storm waves were able to keep almost all of their energy These waves propagated freely over the reef flat and even steepened at the beach into a turbulent breaking wave which destroyed the town's seawall and many houses behind it "We computed this tsunami-like wave with our numerical models and found its energy to be very similar to waves from past tsunamis in the Pacific," says Roeber the researchers state that the Hernani wave was not a worst-case scenario If the period of the group waves had been in sync with the natural oscillation period of the fringing reef the wave would have amplified due to resonance and could have been even more destructive This scenario would have occurred if the reef had been about half as wide tropical storms not only cause devastation due to strong winds In coastal areas they also cause flooding from storm surges A storm surge is an abnormal increase in the local sea level It is mainly driven by the wind - which pushes water landward - and the low pressure of the storm that causes the water to arch like a convex lens A storm surge can flood low-lying coastal areas similar to an extremely high tide level disaster management agencies determine coastal flood hazard zones based on studying the storm surge inundation this is currently done by using computer models the conventional storm surge models neglect the important dynamics of the individual storm waves which is a plausible explanation for the destruction at Hernani "The storm surge models do a great job for what they were designed for but they simply cannot account for the phenomena such as what we have seen in Hernani," says Bricker Both researchers therefore think that it is necessary to additionally utilize a new generation of models that resolve individual waves for hazard mitigation purposes "We have developed accurate and powerful numerical tools which are able to compute these dangerous tsunami-type waves," says Roeber He especially recommends that the flood maps for coastal communities sheltered by fringing reefs should be re-assessed This includes many islands in the tropical and sub-tropical latitudes that have experienced strong storms in the past "Tsunami-like waves such as the one in Hernani will happen again," he says are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases

An acknowledgement that this year has also been bestowed upon his other teammates a testament to a strong group that works together and grows together he was the one who took the most total shots (4)

survivors speak of how there was nowhere to hide when the storm brought the ocean surging ashore sweeping through a school where children and the elderly cowered Super Typhoon Haiyan killed at least 75 people in the small rural town of Hernani the storm surge was so powerful it washed bodies from their graves as it swept over the local cemetery Those who survived the onslaught were horrified to discover the graveyard in ruins Some of the dead were sticking halfway out of their tombs Others were strewn across the street,” said Claire Gregorio an aid worker from the nearby Catholic diocese of Borongan “The water came in and just swept everything away,” said Gregorio one of the first aid responders to reach Hernani pointing to the ocean about 700m away hidden by a strip of now-dead mangrove

sanctuary in a nearby school while others ran to the hills,” Habagat said Gregorio said villagers had fled to the school because they thought they would be safe there “The elementary school was an evacuation center but after a while the floor became wet and the water tasted like salt,” she said Haiyan was one of the strongest ever recorded when it thundered through the Philippines cutting a

that each student I teach is known I endeavour to share my love of the creative arts and our unique local environment with my students What was the most unexpected thing you have had to do in your job Early in my career the first job each morning was to go down to the school’s woodshed and split chips with an axe for the school’s wood fire I was a farm girl and was handy with an axe having this as a chore whilst I was growing up As a teacher in the bush you have to be able to deal with the unexpected including visiting animals to the school grounds horses and dogs as well as venomous snakes What is the worst thing you have had to do Being a teacher and a teaching principal in small schools means that you make very strong connections with all members of the school community Having to help members of a small school community cope with the loss of a loved family member has been the most harrowing experience of my career How has the start of this new year of the pandemic been going This

the better kicks and punches in the first three rounds but Depret (10-5) got the best of the striking in the last couple rounds while the Brazilian started to fade but he didn’t get close to finish the fight Perpetuo left the ring with several cuts and bruises on his face but with the title on his shoulder after winning via unanimous decision after 25 minutes of pure kickboxing action Roberto Amorim rocked Daniel de Franca early knocking him down with only 15 seconds into the fight The referee Eduardo Herdy decided it was enough and stopped the bout but de Franca was right back up to protest the early stoppage Some police officers also fought inside the Shooto ring but the night wasn’t that good for the military police but Evelasio Puma countered with a left hook and knocked him out cold with less than a minute in the bout BOPE sergeant Felix Mau Mau was the next one in action and he got dominated by Danilo Guerreiro in the first two rounds Mau Mau took Guerreiro down and worked on the ground and pound on the final round and the other police officers on the attendance started with the death chants but was happy enough to leave the ring with a split draw he didn’t deserve a soldier from Choque (BOPE’s unit focused on the control of civil disturbances) also left the ring without the win -- but he also didn’t lose After being dominated during the first five

The banners are a show of support for 700 jailed members of the armed separatist group Eta which formally declared an end to half a century of armed conflict on Thursday the portraits of some 30 sons and daughters of the town signal a first sticking point in what Basque regional prime minister Patxi López warned on Friday would be a difficult peace process of the men and women who thought Basque independence was worth killing for "They are all in jail," explained barman Juan Carlos "Some of have been there for more than 20 years." Until recently Hernani was a dangerous place to publicly oppose Eta Three people have died in terrorist attacks here including an officer from the Basque country's own Ertzaintza police force Councillors from non-nationalist parties needed permanent bodyguards But Eta's decision to lay down arms won approval in the Garín "I think it will be good for everyone," said Juan Carlos from the nearby seaside city of San Sebastian On Monday he was at the gates of the city's Aiete Palace protesting against former UN secretary general Kofi Annan and his fellow moderators as they attended a local peace conference and formally asked Eta to down arms forever was 62 when two gunmen stepped up to him in San Sebastian street 15 years ago and pumped bullets into his head at point blank range Eta are totalitarians who murder people for thinking differently Eta certainly doesn't need peace conferences it needs a Nuremberg trial," said Ruben A vocal segment of conservative Spain agrees Eta should be forced to recognise defeat surrender its arms and accept prison sentences for its members 69-year-old Eta veteran Jon Aguirre sat before the press at a long table in San Sebastian's Hotel Hesperia with a group representing Eta's political allies in the so-called Basque separatist left Aguirre finished serving a 30-year jail term in May for killing three people At the hotel he sat stony-faced as separatist left leader Rufino Etxeberria read out a statement backing the Annan group's request for Eta to lay down arms and seek talks with Spain and France was proof that Eta had already agreed to follow a pre-written peace script "I'm sure Eta will respond positively," he said "Eta has decided the definitive cessation of its armed activity," said three masked members on a self-made video Socialist defence minister Carme Chacón tried to calm fears that the government was ready to make political concessions in return for Eta's announcement "There is nothing to negotiate with Eta," she said The Eta declaration signalled the end of a campaign of violence begun by a group of young separatists who formed Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (Eta) when dictator General Francisco Franco ruled Spain Although Eta is often blamed for a bomb that killed a 22-month-old girl at San Sebastian's railway station in 1960 when civil guard police officer José Pardines was shot dead at a road block half-a-dozen miles from Hernani that it accepted responsibility for a killing Five years later an Eta bomb planted in a Madrid street sent the car carrying Franco's right-hand man When Spain gained a democratic constitution in 1978 The Basque country won a considerable dose of self-government in 1979 but these were Eta's bloodiest years with 250 people killed in three years Early Spanish democratic governments responded by mounting a dirty war that saw two dozen people die in attacks carried out in France where Eta's leadership and support groups lived In 1992 French police rounded up most of Eta's collegiate leadership up at a farmhouse in Bidart and its 135 victims in the 1990s became 56 in the following decade By the time Eta called a ceasefire in September 2010 it had proved incapable of carrying out a planned killing for 14 months The last victim was an unfortunate French gendarme who came across Eta members stealing second-hand cars from a showroom near Paris in March 2010 Another key moment had come in 2000 when Spain's main two political parties the Socialist Workers' party and the People's party (PP) Political front parties like Batasuna were banned which won 10%-20% of the local vote and ran towns like Hernani had lost all representation in town halls and the regional parliament The appearance in Spain of radical Islamist terrorism with the death of 191 people on Madrid's commuter trains in March 2004 made Spaniards think that the real dangers lay elsewhere As police destroyed Eta's command structure and detained armed units before they could carry out attacks analysts started using the word "defeat" The separatist left began to see Eta as a hindrance and support slipped away Thursday's announcement was seen as inevitable although a former interior ministry official warned that a Real IRA type breakaway group might still appear "But we will never again have an Eta with 150,000 voters who back murder." The task of overseeing that end will fall to PP leader Mariano Rajoy who looks set for a landslide victory at a 20 November general election "We consider this to be an important step but Spaniards will only be happy when there is an irreversible dissolution and complete dismantling of Eta," he said It remains to be seen whether Eta itself will one day agree with a phrase uttered by another of Fernando Mugica's sons hours after his father was gunned down in 1996: "Time will say that this was horror an absolutely gratuitous piece of horror." 1959: Eta is formed during dictatorship of General Francisco Franco to fight for Basque self-determination 1968: It carries out its first killing in San Sebastián 22 March 2006: Eta declares a permanent ceasefire 5 November 2008: Eta claims responsibility for 10 bombings and says it will press on with its campaignfight for Basque rights 9 August 2009: Eta claims responsibility for bombs in the previous two months which killed three policemen and injured 46 10 January 2011: Eta offers a permanent and general ceasefire 20 Oct 2011: Eta declares a "definitive cessation of its armed activity" Essential digital access to quality FT journalism on any device Complete digital access to quality FT journalism with expert analysis from industry leaders Complete digital access to quality analysis and expert insights complemented with our award-winning Weekend Print edition Terms & Conditions apply Discover all the plans currently available in your country See why over a million readers pay to read the Financial Times Shooto will crown its new welterweight champion when Tommy Depret enters the ring to face Hernani Perpetuo in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, two years after Luis Ramos vacated his title to make his UFC debut The title fight headlines Shooto Brazil 42 - Fight for BOPE 3 on Aug earning a third-round TKO win over MMA veteran Yuya Shirai at Glory World Series Perpetuo owns the Shooto South-American welterweight championship and has won seven of his 10 fights under the Shooto banner with one no contest "I will score another knockout," Perpetuo told MMAFighting on Friday "He comes from one of the best striking teams of the world but I will knock him out if he tries to stand and bang with me I know he has some submissions on his record as well Perpetuo hopes to get more opportunities once he gets a belt that belonged to fighters like Shinya Aoki and Jake Shields in the past and winning this fight will open a lot of doors for me," he said "Getting in the UFC would be the next step
