Lita Tresierra
Lita Tresierra (1977 – 21 June 2010) was a Costa Rican singer and actress. She was the singer of the alternative rock musical group ''La Nueva P'' (1994–1997), which released the album ''Simple''. The band was formally dissolved when she left the country, but re-gathered in 2009. Though she had made a number of appearances in television and film, Tresierra became especially well-known after landing a prominent role as the voice actress of Rosa in the 2009 action-adventure video game ''Assassin's Creed II''. On 21 June 2010, Tresierra was involved in a major traffic collision in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and fell into a coma for two days before succumbing to her injuries. Following her death, Ubisoft made the decision to indefinitely retire her character Rosa from the '' Assassin's Creed'' series, amid widespread speculation that she would have reprised her role in games to come.

Direct Action
Direct action originated as a political activist term for economic and political acts in which the actors use their power (e.g. economic or physical) to directly reach certain goals of interest, in contrast to those actions that appeal to others (e.g. authorities), by, for example, revealing an existing problem, highlighting an alternative, or demonstrating a possible solution. Both direct action and actions appealing to others can include nonviolent and violent activities that target persons, groups, or property deemed offensive to the action participants. Nonviolent direct action may include sit-ins, strikes, and counter-economics. Violent direct action may include political violence, assault, arson, sabotage, and property destruction. By contrast, electoral politics, diplomacy, negotiation, and arbitration are not usually described as direct action since they are electorally mediated.
