Wild rivers are free flowing rivers, free of the major dams and weirs and free of the usual damage and pollution from intensive agriculture and land clearing.
Wild rivers have a wide range of natural and cultural values, including ecological, aesthetic, recreational, educational, economic and intrinsic values.
Globally, only about 40% of rivers could be classed as 'wild', as most have been heavily degraded.
In Queensland, Australia, the State Government has introduced special legislation (The 'Wild Rivers Act') to protect the remaining free flowing rivers in that State from inappropriate development.

Macaquitos (English: Little Monkeys) is a racist term used occasionally by Argentine fans against Brazilians within the context of the football rivalry between the two countries. This pejorative term links the black and mulatto origins of many Brazilian football players to monkeys.
The first time the word was quoted was in 1920 after a friendly match that Argentina won 3-1. It was again used by Argentine fans in several of the ensuing matches, but fell out of use during the 1940s. In later years, the yellow press has used the expression to fan the flames of rivalry.
Argentina's newspaper Diario Olé ran the controversial headline Que vengan los macacos ("bring on the monkeys"), when Argentina's rival for the final match of the 1996 Olympics was to be decided between Brazil and Nigeria. The headline was criticised both in Argentina and Brazil. Nigeria eventually won the match, and went on to defeat Argentina in the final; Brazil achieved bronze.
Some claim that the term was first used among the Argentine troops during the War of the Triple Alliance .

Kitting is a concept in sales wherein the selection of a product for purchase causes the sales vehicle to suggest other related products. Kitting helps both the buyer and the seller. The seller of course sells more product. The buyer benefits by having a more complete purchase so that they can better use the product they originally sought to purchase.
Some kitting could be an abuse by persuading the buyer to purchase a product they do not need.
