How has Princess Diana's death changed the Royal Family?
The death of Princess Diana in 1997, and the public's response to it, shook the House of Windsor.
Twenty years on, there's been a coup at the palace. It was bloodless. All the royals remain standing. But the power has shifted.
The departure, earlier this month, of the Queen's dedicated senior official Sir Christopher Geidt has meant her eldest son can exert more control over the monarchy's direction of travel.
The comings and goings of courtiers excite those on the inside and leave outsiders cold.
However, recent changes should cheer Prince Charles. The heir who's waited and waited is more content and less anguished.
He's still driven by a desire to deliver change but the royal prophet in the wilderness on climate change has been embraced by the mainstream.
A prince once derided for talking to plants is praised for trying to save the planet.
With each year that passes, his mother will do less and he will do more.
There are fewer clouds on his horizon. It's a horizon that was once obscured by the War of the Waleses:
his televised admission of adultery, and his leaked comments about tampons.
Lasting influence
And yet, and yet. Whatever accommodation he reached with his first wife in life hasn't survived her death. Diana haunts Charles.
A recent YouGov poll commissioned by the Press Association suggested that the number of people who believe the Prince of Wales has made a positive contribution to the Royal Family has fallen over the past four years, down from 60% to 36%.
This polling took place at a time when it was hard to escape references to Charles's painful past.
Newspapers and television channels have reflected at length on the influence of Diana, Princess of Wales, an influence that stretched from fashion to the British monarchy.
It's been a month of coverage that must have perplexed anyone under the age of 25 and would have confused a visiting Martian.
Charles's many supporters will argue that Diana's adverse impact on his popularity will recede with each passing year. But 20 years on, her influence still registers.(...)

TEXT I
‘500 Years of Brazil’s Discovery’
By GAIL FINEBERG
Our territory was already inhabited before 1500 A.D., by a
large population, estimated in the 1500s at 3 million Indians,
with their own communal organization and traditions.
The encounter occurred on April 22, 1500, when Pedro
Álvares Cabral, commander of a Portuguese armada, sighted
the South American mainland and staked a claim for Portugal.
The encounter occurred on April 22, 1500, when Pedro
Álvares Cabral, commander of a Portuguese armada, sighted

The Portuguese found Brazil attractive, as did the French,
Dutch and Spanish. The first agreement between Spain and
Portugal on frontiers was not reached until 1750.
The Jesuits were enterprising, and their missionary efforts
spread throughout the country between 1625 and 1759.
The religious influence was responsible for an extraordinarily
beautiful Brazilian baroque architecture.
Thoughts of independence began to take root in the late
18th century. Revolutionary events in Europe had a profound
effect on Brazil. Napoleon’s invasion of Portugal prompted the
Portuguese prince regent, Dom João, to move the Portuguese
court to Brazil in 1808.
Brazil matured quickly as the seat of the Portuguese empire.
The prince opened Brazilian ports to trade with friendly
nations, including Great Britain, and also government offices
in Rio de Janeiro, a supreme court, a bank, the royal treasury,
mint, printing office, a national library with holdings from the
Portuguese National Library and other academic institutions.
With the death of Portugal’s queen, Maria I, in 1816, the
regent became King João VI. He returned to Portugal in 1821
to contain a revolution there and appointed his son, Dom
Pedro, as regent in Brazil. Dom Pedro refused orders a few
months later to return to Lisbon, established a legislative
assembly in São Paulo and proclaimed Brazil’s independence
from Portugal on Sept. 7, 1822.
Dom Pedro I was crowned emperor in 1822, but after a
troubled reign marked by conflict with the assembly, he
abdicated in favor of 5-year- old Dom Pedro de Alcântara in
1831. For the next nine years, Brazil seethed with civil unrest
until both houses of parliament declared the young regent
had reached majority in 1840. The Brazilian Empire lasted to
1889.
Dom Pedro II proved to be an enlightened leader. Brazil
grew and prospered under his reign, and the country enjoyed
a great deal of stability. (The country’s population grew from 4
million to 14 million; railroads built 5,000 miles of track; and
public revenues and products multiplied.) However, support
for a republic grew, and the empire finally collapsed in 1889,
when the royal family went to exile in Europe.
The country’s 19th century economy relied on slave-based
agriculture. Slave trade with Africa did not cease until 1853.
At the dawn of the 21st century, Brazil, with an economy
that is the eighth largest in the world, is a contributor of music, painting, literature and other arts to the world’s culture.
