How To Write A Letter About Personal Hygiene

THAT YEAR!

A busy year marked by many events ... earthquake, tsunami, miners, etc ... it was a year of planting and design, various actions and projects aimed at opening up a space, using the idea of \u200b\u200brebuilding with a different spirit incorporating the cultural theme.



Pelluhue I went 2 times and Curanipe, first as a volunteer with a group of college Altamira, two weeks after the Tsunami. The second in a caravan of APECH under two cultural caravans took art, music, theater, video, literature, children's workshops, etc. organized by an emerging culture house in Pelluhue. (Which now I knew, they could not funds and had to close the house )...( next thing I knew, that two of the murals last year in the municipality of Pelluhue in Curanipe, were obliterated with white paint by order of the mayor again ...)! !!!!!!!??????¿¿¿¿¿!!!!!!!



Create cultural centers in vulnerable areas has been an initiative I've seen a lot this year, gestated mostly by locals, but is not an easy task. Hard to get the necessary support. Hard to convince the authorities of the tremendous contribution made by people of culture and the country.



a Saturday March Araucano I was invited to the park to help families who were going to paint to cheer up the victims of the earthquake, paintings that were later to visit the affected villages. Ezperanza colors called the milestone and was concocted by Corpartes. There I met Marcelo Forni, who invited the artists to a breakfast, and many were as good "wave", but we could never imagine that Marc was going to propose to present projects and make a foundation. Many left in fear, but others saw an opportunity here, a need, and we believed the story. A foundation to bring art to the city, to the social, to include the person and involving. To promote the art through all available means and create the need. We are working.



Auctions, there were many. By danmificados, by culture, by my friend Gabriela, a college ...
also marked a milestone that many things that previously were free, now they are paying the artists. It is a topic no less. The council of culture asked me 2 times to paint on site in civic spaces, and they paid me! Which I think is of utmost importance because it is a struggle that has long come from giving. In international cycling competition they asked me to paint something for a shirt, a lot of press and promotion
but zero budget for the artist. I had to say no. There is a stigma installed in society, which the artists work for free, and I have had much to meet with such discrimination. Please you do not.



Finishing the year I was invited by another foundation (CVJ) to submit a project to Tubul near Arauco. There was created a cultural center for two half-water and half, but half-water to guests. For 3 days we painted a mural with the children and mothers in a village, San Carlos, on the wall that separates it from the street. It was an experience many setbacks, but finally he could. There I saw a successful experience so far, thanks to ongoing support, concocted by people in Santiago, with ties to the community ... and a roof for Chile. A thank you to all of them. Here published pictures of this beautiful experience.

Hoping next year will see concrete many of these experiences,

Where lies the evil? Immigrant

could even deceive you and you'd think is a work of art.

The quality of the materials with which it is built. The smoothness and precision of the mechanism. The cold blue flash emitted when light strikes.

The light weight. The sense of power that derives from their possession. Is a complete instrument.

is not a work of art. Belongs to the most despicable collection of tools created by humans. It is a weapon. And specifically a 338 Winchester rifle Magnum. They say they used to hunt big game pieces.

But it seems that a neighbor of Olot last week used one of these weapons to hunt down four humans. Who had no opportunity to defend and try to avoid their tragic fate.

Some may say that the weapon does not matter. That evil is on the person using it. Right. Although the ease in getting one of these instruments and the worship that certain individuals will profess, cause unhealthy obsessions which become pop explosion of evil.

For about $ 1,000, you can buy one of these rifles over the Internet, provided expecting to have the appropriate permission. It seems, however, that obtaining this permit and keep the light on the characteristics of the requirements, examinations and tests provided for this purpose, it is not overly complicated.

Pokemon You Shiny Pokemon Stories

- Manolo, What is it you are so engrossed?

- Nothing, I was thinking as I explained yesterday a stuffed bull.

- Estoooo, have you taken something wrong? Do I have to tell your wife to take you home? How many fingers are there?

- That no man, no. I'm fine. Only yesterday I was in Madrid and went to take me a few beers at a tavern in the Plaza Mayor. And there hung the stuffed head of Reaper, a bull that was fought in 1994 in Sales and that Enric Juliana, a journalist from La Vanguardia, filed a mini political gatherings, mainly focused on relations between Catalonia and Spain.

- Wow. And you've joined the gathering, right?

- No. I am not in the height and also those games, for obvious reasons can only stay in the tavern "La Torre del Oro, where he lives" Reaper. " Well, his head stuffed.

- What you speak of with that phenomenon?

- Phew. Everything, but mainly politics. We also talk about social things, like the bullfights or the use of the burka.

- Hey, look at you. Well this past week in force banning public agencies use in Lleida. But it has gone this magnet, Bodohui, to say that he will appeal the issue as unconstitutional. And it says it will "detain" for women. But is not always carry over jail?

with these people is going the same with the drivers, that people are starting to realize where to go and begins to look not so much complacency, that instead of what they intend to integrate is to change to us Do not you think? Have you seen this from PRUNE?

- No. What is it?

- An Islamic party that seeks to promote justice, equality, solidarity and freedom, in Spain, "from the consideration of Islam as the source of those principles." Be submitted to the next city. I get scared.

- Go, do not be overstated. You should be aware that many immigrants and what captures our attention and we are shocked are isolated cases that reported the means and are not representative of what actually happens. It is as if we took as a sign of English society to the nuns in their habits, when you know that this is not true.

- Well, well ... but in this town are becoming more hooded and headscarves. And what they want, according to its avowed objectives is to start taking control of local councils in small and medium towns. Look, today I read that in Guisborough, Lleida town, there are more immigrants than native citizens. And here, leaving a few days ago home in the morning, I met a lot of people dressed in their finery apparently Arabs. The truth is that I was impressed.

- Was on 18 November? Why if it was that day it would be the Aid el Kebir, the feast of sacrifice, which is the most important celebration for Muslims.

- Oyeeeee! If you post. How do you know all this? Your daughter will not be messing with a Muslim, right?

- Not that I know not. Man, this topic is easy. Aid el Kebir was none other than the better known by Christians Abraham. When Abraham was about to sacrifice his son, God gave him the change to a lamb and this is the conclusion of the Muslims. On that day, declared a public holiday in many parts of Spain, the Arabs slaughtered a lamb, according to the tradition of that religion. In fact there is a strong connection between Christianity and Islam. Differ essentially from the Prophet Muhammad, when they consider who profess the true faith and all others are infidels. But as always, the issue is not the basic theory, but how interpreted by humans, usually at your convenience.

- Very aware I see. So you, what justifies the burka?

- I do not. And I still think that everything should be on those who come to this country who are close to their culture and traditions and not vice versa. Why despite the sorrow and the disastrous behavior and abuse perpetrated by European nations, which have influenced the history, economy and society of countries around the world, cultural forms and knowledge generated in developing countries forming that we come to call the West are those who have raised the quality of global life. Not to discount any race or any religion, but I think we should speak more about us, because we have a tendency to censor and justify what others do. The proof is that all immigrants who come to our countries want to take advantage of a society with guarantees of rights, with health, some assistance or welfare are not in theirs.

Look, two same day news of the week. The first, a terrible and bitter lament by a citizen who is over any financial benefit for unemployment, which can not find work because of their age and sleeping on the street why he has lost his home. The second, and after a painful Badalona judicial ordeal finally a neighbor has managed to recover a house owned by his mother, who had been occupied by an immigrant of African origin with his Romanian wife.

The immigrant said in his defense that someone had rented, but could not prove it. Despite the sentence, takes only has vacated the house when the City Council has achieved through alternative accommodation and also Adigsa a job. And I have nothing against this, on the contrary. But let me also of resolution of the helpless situation and lamented that so many like him.

- I see that despite your knowledge of the subject, is not, as a critical stance against immigrants. Monitors, which is why there is a xenophobic call you anything.

- No, no. What I intend is to be objective. But I must confess that in terms of environment and cultural factors, I feel more comfortable in mine. Ie I like my traditions, my patterns of social relations. Even look, I like the footprint of all that training is a Catholic, rejecting clear all the negative and the manipulations performed by its members, although not today or practitioner or believer.

- Okay, okay, but as you say a lot of that out there, they'll give birth to Do a cane?

- Come.

Catalunya Zapatero should I do

- Hello, hello ... Reaper

- Hola Catalan aThese What hours are you doing here? Have you changed the reeds for coffee with milk?

- Noooooo, well, yes. Is that yesterday Medeja intrigued. Tell me, What do you think they should hacerZapatero?

- Zapatero has it wrong pararecuperar the confidence of citizens. And as I said, surely laculpa is not entirely yours, but people, including their own Splitter are cowardly. The firm stance on the issue of controladoresaéreos, do not know why but I feel that there has been a decision enteramentesuya, but has been pushed by barons algúnministro PSOE or even from his or her current cabinet, a little tired from a position blandengueante many problems that require more of forcefulness and menostactismo. If when the famous "Why do not you shut up?" King hubieraestado not at his side. What do you think would have made Zapatero?

When one is challenged to estamanera, only a miracle could save the situation and this is probably what Zapatero queespera trying to hold everything you can and making time for middle and see if it clears. But meanwhile, what about the country?

has even swallowed the frog to introduce measures to stop opposite to their ideology to try depaliar the enormous impact of the crisis in the English economy and elempleo. I have to do besides aldictado leaders or agencies of other countries or the EU. And you have to put up the PP lerecuerde to the minimum these are the measures that this game since laoposición suggested to straighten out the mess.

Could he anticipated convocarelecciones Zapatero? That is wrong. At the moment in which a eleccionesanticipadas be a candidate would favor the PP would queseguramente voters increased as a result of citizens fed up as models have pointed out the surveys. So I doubt cakes call early elections.

Did PP would be a good solution? I doubt it too. Nor do I see in the PP people with enough charisma paragobernar, starting with their own leader. But there is considerable deque PP obtain good results in elections at this time. Simplementepor the pendulum effect, should be tenermuy into account what happened to the PSC in Catalunya.

What would be the best scenario? First of all, no stopping the centrifuge. When a country has tantosproblemas like this, you have to do is retreat to discuss these problems and be conprofundidad projections sterile. We must go out and be less deintervenir in conflicts that we are foreign. By now I hope sehaya and curing of the vagaries of international prominence, an area which costs suponegrandes and it seems that this has improved the image of this paísallende borders. These policies clearly explained Hayque citizens to seek their understanding ycomplicidad. How many times has led Zapatero to citizenship paraexplicar its objectives and programs? Unless, of course, in election rallies oen Congress to discuss with the opposition ...

But above all, should really hard aceptaruna ballot, to facilitate a transition to new figure emerjauna the PSOE, which can generate enthusiasm in their constituencies and to forget the stage losdislates above.

Could this figure Rubalcava Yes, it could be. He is intelligent, has charisma and is accustomed to the intricacies of government desenvolverseen. There also seems to have the respetoincluso of the opposition. I think however, that in turn would solamentede a transition manifests himself tired and ready to retire. Hoymismo in the news, for example, although that can be precisely unamago tactical.

Rather it will seek an order etapapara internally the party.

- Man, Reaper. Hubieraimaginado not ever claim to be anti PP. Almost tune with most losciudadanos in Catalunya.

- Actually I'm not. Indeed, some liberal doctrines creoque could lead to better outputs for the crisis. But sooner or later dudoque socialists understand that the narrow strip in cheese can move the parties in a democracy today means accepting lapráctica certain guidelines to promote the creation and retention of businesses and políticaesencial and basic to increase employment. And while knowing in the social realizaracciones to guarantee citizens the derechosbásicos of safety, nutrition, health and education and protection for disadvantaged losmen it as they say, with the diligence of a good father defamilia.

queaprender have to disregard the policy tactismos and facade. Tienensobretodo to learn not to do things with the fear of losing voters, AHAC with the authority conferred on them by the office for which they sidoelegidos, to facilitate the relationship between social workers and foster suentendimiento and a inexcusable way, should exercise decontrol and inspection work necessary to prevent the corruption and fraud inall (all, huh?) areas governmental, social and productive.

- BuenoSegador, Oracle, I think more than a foretaste of what will happen, Meester trusting your desires of how you wish it were that scenario. Comodecimos in my country, "in parlarem ja." Until next time.

The LOCTI reform: a dismantling of synergies between the actors of SNCTI

The Law on Science, Technology and Innovation (LOCTI) and partial regulation in force to this date, despite some weaknesses have expressed some ambiguities, general and even some vague concepts embodied in their literal in its five years of implementation, are instruments of public policy that have promoted processes of knowledge generation by the universities closest to their application for the product sector to be in many cases coordinated between the two, always under the eye of the regulator.

The LOCTI has encouraged companies steadily approaching the universities and R & D to develop training programs and research increasingly customized to specific requirements, and application opportunities results to the solution problems, or a prototype laboratory-scale massively impacting productivity in a chemical, metal, or any other productive sector and segment, helping to leverage capacity or the creation of these together.

the LOCTI

also favored the development of innovation capabilities in firms through their own projects where links to third actors, technological development has enabled the substitution of imported for local manufacturing capacity in the I leveraged + D, or process of adaptation, optimization and improved technology on the basis of management knowledge, or the professional development of staff, contributing to increased productivity and business competitiveness and thus to universities and R & D.

has even stimulating investment by business in community programs for technical trades training or capacity building in science and technology in secondary schools and foundations through intervention programs on social and environmental . Just as in the creation of research centers, postgraduate, scholarship funding, publications, conferences, awards, outreach events and transfer knowledge on a wide range of topics.

This new law has facilitated the strengthening of links and synergies from the trust in this network of actors, who make up the National System of Science, Technology and Innovation, despite the absence and ineffectiveness of some links in the value chain.

However, despite this favorable balance from every point of view, in the midst of a very troubled country, where innovation is more of a challenge, the discussion turns to mat and politicized limited Manichean joint and coordinated work between the actors in this system over disputed resources in a scenario where the state does everything he can to be used only to public science, technology and innovation in a blank check, where unknown to other actors than those agencies under the Ministry Science, Technology and Industry Intermediate, forgetting also in many cases accountability to contributors of these resources.

In the midst of this scenario LOCTI reform initiated in 2009, stop and resumed in November this year again creates uncertainty about the legal framework that is supposed to stimulate science, technology and innovation in this country by working together SNCTI actors.

The crisis, the Government and Reaper

- Heyyyy!, Hello, hello ... (No, either case. Could she have definitely been in limbo since the stuffed?) Reaper! Segadooooooor!

cabezón Slowly the huge bull on the wall is tilted, squints and looks at me from above -. What the hell are you Catalan?

- Hoooooombre, you go on. That as the last time I was here I told you happen to see another day, because here I am. "Hello, how are you?

- Bah! Here, forgotten. Does not come to me or the Juliana. No one comes to ask anything in this poor Unfortunately oracle.

- Misfortune? Why? I know quite tuned in your political analysis and some I had in mind.


- Well, that has passed into history. And see that there are issues that if the ruling of the statute, if the Catalan elections, if the Saharawi and Moroccan trouble, if the general strike and the unions happy, if policies and tell me where I said above my body, say Diego and change the government that if Barca - Madrid, that if air traffic controllers .... Buenoooo! I do not ask anyone anything, even if the government will stand the legislature and see what that would like to talk.


- Oh, yeah?, Account, account.


- what do you think? Zapatero is touched, but he did not want to know. Has reached a point where he has a fierce response from the public and now is not only the right, but a large sample that covers all political stripes. Note the work that had trade unions are not out of hand demonstrations in the general strike of 29-S, which called loudly for his resignation. The government holds a base to agree with as anyone, leaving in these compacts shreds based transfers made by parties eager, as the PNV, who cares about the bottom three cucumbers state budget, why the Basques have their economic agreement.


- Well, the truth is that there are signs of recovery, it seems that the situation is not as bad as predicted ...


- But you say? Do you live here? In Germany perhaps, but here? This country is very poorly assembled. For many historical reasons and specific to its people and its leadership. That's "What's what is mine? "is the order of the day and there is a sense of state. Just have to see its structure and political and economic organization. Here, every region, every city, every town, every neighborhood, they want the same services and be a reflection of its scale in the state, regardless of whether it is practicable or not. See if not, by way of example, the airports of Ciudad Real Lleida and Huesca, or Leon. Are they economically viable? Or have they been implemented as a result of the ambition and maneuvering of some rulers? Would not it be better that instead of investing in these airports, it delivers tremendous losses, the financial resources have requested be devoted to strengthening the health and education, which is giving signs of serious problems that inevitably fall on the citizens? Would not it be better to allocate financial resources to improve ground communications and access from anywhere at some airports, sized and equipped technologically, were more affordable?


Of course, we have a government full of officials multiplied. What's at this point to maintain the County? Or like in your own autonomy, now county councils or the stubbornness to go back to the past, with the return of "vegueries" administrative organization of the Middle Ages. And all that you do not know why the Government has no authority over faces and inappropriate places, all in order to stay in power. Hence his policy of compromise and specific commitments to muddle through and try to march was not the vote.


- Paraaaaa for the car. In Catalonia, the territorial organization is well conceived. Well, perhaps the vegueries not very necessary, but the administration is effective and responds to the interests of citizens. And the compromises and commitments, do not forget that everyone does it.


- Go east. That is why citizens in recent elections have supported the retention of the tripartite. That was a sign of rejection of a way of governing that has not satisfied. And now politicians are looking for explanations that are most suit their ego, if you have not been able to convey to citizens the work, if the fault is of the other parties of the tripartite ... But if everything is easier than this ! Or more complicated. But they have done wrong ... Sure!


From what I'm not sure at this point is whether the new government in your Catalonia will be able to change the situation for the better. Why is not there forget that many of the reasons that led to the current crisis are outside the country itself it will not change the will of the rulers here. At least overnight. What Zapatero should do ... well, tomorrow I say again, I'm tired.


- Okay, okay, do not invite a reed why do not you also like beer and you can not lose there. But date for guest ....

- Andaaaa ... if you do not look Catalan pussy.

Cons Of Selling Human Organs

The air traffic controllers and authority

has ended (?) The strike of air traffic controllers. The media have given us lots of pictures:

Disadvantaged-drawn airports and the bitterness of being disappointed in their holiday dreams. Or worse, people or families that have been postponed or canceled their travel definitely motivated by health issues, professional meetings or family ...

Political inveigh tense and trying to highlight the evil that they do one or the limited sense of patriotism with others. More of the same.

Defenders (rather few) what drivers have to protect their status. Usually on the defensive and not many good ways. View blog "air traffic controllers and other herbs"

In short, once again the familiar scenario of disagreements, sin endemic in this country. But look where the claw would seem that this government has failed in so many issues, has appeared in this. The decision to militarize the air traffic controllers has been generally well received by those have suffered the consequences of their wildcat strike and widely by the public.

Does this mean that finally the government has done what was expected of him, acting with authority? What people expect a more resolute attitude of the authorities on issues that may affect the normal existence and development of the country?

A speech widely used in the heat of political combat is that you need more tough, stronger positions. With Morocco, Venezuela or Cuba, with immigrants, unions, the anti ... And it accuses the government of being too soft in certain situations.

Surely, some of these requests are quite right, but not all. And you have to discern. A government must demonstrate its authority by enforcing the laws, but not falling into authoritarianism. On the other hand, a government can not be held hostage to their constant fear of losing votes. A government has to learn to make decisions that may be unpopular, but if it should do it.

Opinions looking in the mirror of authoritarian leaders who practice and apparently can bring stability and economic progress, as is the case for example in China. The counterpart is the loss of freedoms. That is not the model I like.

must dive into the intricacies of the issues. The trend of public opinion is to be located at the ends of the circumstances: it is not white is black, is not left is right, what is not with me is against me. And there is a tendency to neglect the nuances.

therefore reject the authoritarian practices, but if that support respect for authority and that the government enforce the laws. I also reject individuals or groups attempt to turn the application of practices of this character trying to disguise them under the guise of exercise of rights that often do nothing but trample on other people.

So I was unhappy with the decision to act decisively in the case of air traffic controllers. So I think the wrong attitude of the opposition when a question arises as this, only knows how to use to seek political advantage.

And without forgetting that the government should have foreseen the reaction to the publication of the decree on air traffic controllers last Friday, could be exactly what it was. And therefore should have taken steps to avoid the hell that came under direct losers, and those that were involved following the closure of English airspace.

The burden of living with insecurity

Yesterday I was a victim of insecurity, like most people in this country. Without knowing why, in the middle of a highway crowded with cars and heavy rain-product of the permanent and atmospheric instability surrounding Caracas these days, two men on their bikes, they were to smite the right glasses frighten my truck and showed a gun inside a bag, I guess that I understood that my life was at stake and in their hands, why should deliver my belongings.

I kept quiet, and as I evaluate options entrusting myself to God, as all those who went through this unfortunate experience. Fortunately and work of the operator was unhurt in the incident and terribly worried and outraged by the fact that we know some time ago: life worth nothing around here. And yet delicate and dramatic understanding this reality that we as a society we fail to unite as a country and demand that life be respected, regardless of political belief, purchasing power, education or religion that professes and that this is a reality of public institutions responsible for security must do their job.

who can not travel on a highway or a street in broad daylight, or have to live lattices, secure, and pursued by the overwhelming feeling that at any moment can go a misfit who feels the freedom to rob, kidnap, rape or kill is a situation that as a society must stop, so bizarre that it is unsustainable for the future of the country.

Our statistics show that the third cause of death violence is preceded by cardiovascular diseases and cancer, and we have killed over a hundred Venezuelans nationwide every weekend in the uncertainty product, occur on average 5 kidnappings a day, 2 hour and 46 thefts per day, figures realize how sick we are as a society, country by offering more opportunities death that we may have to undertake and be productive beings.

The loss of values, drugs, Manichean politicization of the institutions responsible for ensuring the safety and punish the offenders, the fragmentation of the city in tight places where the poor coordination and action of the authorities responsible for preventing death is fragmented and diluted into nothingness together with the disastrous dichotomy between antivalores coexists versus the possibility of pulse and effort arise from the periphery of poverty that has not solved any government on earth, are the breeding ground nefarious beings playing violent capable of truncating lives to be made a cell phone, shoes, vehicles and even for no reason.

The causes of this dire situation of crime in the country, is none other than the absence of public policies on the one hand enable the most deprived Venezuelan thrive in quality of life and well-being by having a country offered training opportunities, employment, health, housing and not see the necessity or convenience for crime. And other public policies that severely punish those who commit crimes and threaten the lives of others.

remember that the safety of all citizens is the duty of public bodies, the Constitution provides no distinction within the rights of Venezuelans, the protection by the State and the duty of the national executive to maintain and restore public order and ensure the peaceful enjoyment of constitutional guarantees and rights, despite the unfortunate reality that we experience on a daily basis citizens, is the helplessness of seeing unacceptably harmed by a crime unleashed little interest in curbing.

Decommissioning of capabilities in a country of opportunities

The formation of a productive frame as the small Venezuelan industrial park has taken more than half a century as a country. While under a model underpinned of development with significant weaknesses, endured a pattern of specialization based on the exploitation and export of natural resources, mainly oil, with a capital-intensive enclave sector in economy services to turn labor-intensive low-skill, was achieved with logical constraints form a national productive that has accumulated valuable technological and organizational learning and shaping an institutional capacity at managerial, technological, information management, marketing and customer relationship management - supplier today are our principal industrial heritage.

In particular companies and consulting engineering, construction, service wells, metalworking, metalworking and related manufacturing activity oil, petrochemical and gas upstream (providers goods or services) and downstream (processing raw materials into finished products of higher added value) represent the most developed sectors of our industry processes and services, by the same requirements as PDVSA once promoted their value chain, from its suppliers to their customers at the level of implementation of ISO standards and international certificates assurance systems and standards of quality in their production processes and the implementation of works and nvergadura, that contributed to the development of national suppliers and lesser extent in the formation of downstream production chains.

This incipient but valuable entrepreneurship, fifty years later, more than twelve years "a process that preaches socialist precepts, remains essentially mono export condition, dependent on oil and its price swings. With the added devastating in the past decade that preaches in every way imaginable objectives aimed at promoting a diversified economy, endogenous, sovereign and independent, not only have been achieved, but actually are not, nor have they been their direct or indirect targets. On the contrary their purpose more airy are to deepen economic dependence, production, food, health and now constructive foreign or exogenous capabilities. Strengthening and the productive fabric and external business skills from other countries - so-called allies in this decade to the detriment of local capacities.

We assist in Venezuela to a dramatic dismantling of those capabilities that many years has taken shape, which is deepened dangerously in 2007, with the start of the policy of nationalization and expropriation who now number more than 200 companies involved primarily in energy, agribusiness, telecommunications, steel, banking, food and construction now. Which has focused on these sectors considered strategic for the national economy and with the supposed aim of achieving "productive sovereignty and independence, food, energy, financial and construction, under a socialist production", reaching the opposite of those purported goals. The consequences of this process of systematic expropriation, together with price controls and heavy tax burdens has been a greater reliance on imports and a growing divestment of productive activities in the country, coupled with a raising of capital by an oversized and inefficient state management criteria that political, populist and sectarian hegemony.

Proof of this is the situation we experienced in areas where domestic production was self-sufficient as coffee, rice, and white maize this year have had to be imported to supply local demand, as production has decreased considerably due to price regulations, labor disputes promoted in many cases by public authorities must intervene to solve them, among other factors that have stimulated the sector divestment to prevent such items to be profitable.

In the case of sugar while the domestic industry historically does not supply the local demand, imports increased 152% disproportionately in the first half of this year, according to INE data, importing 223,629 tons compared to 88,770 tonnes in the first half of 2009 and estimates for the demand sector are imported 600,000 thousand tons by the sharp drop in production. Similar situation occurs with white corn, with rice, beans, or with the milk, cheese and chicken, meat, and even cocoa and preparations that have recently been considered strategic for the country , and of which we are exporters, despite the import of the item is more than the production and .* exproted

This situation is similar in other sectors such as manufacturing, which has been exacerbated by the entry of finished products from China, mainly affecting local industry of footwear, clothing, toys and much more. Either the metallurgical sector is working at 40% of its installed capacity by the shortage of inputs from SIDOR that has significantly reduced its production was once nationalized, which added to the contraction that has experienced this year as the halt construction and some projects in the oil industry has reduced the demand for metal structures, pipes and profiles, tanks, wires, containers, welded beams, which require developers and businesses in the area of \u200b\u200bhydrocarbons.

Moreover, Venezuela was the country with the biggest drop in exports (39%), the other countries in the region last year, trade between Venezuela and the Andean Community fell 38% in 2009, Mercosur decrease was 15.9%, with Mexico, Chile 36% and 28.3%. **

Meanwhile, billionaire poorly planned investment is earmarked to buy food and other items we can supply locally, the resources they cease to be injected into areas that require urgent attention in the country, such as security, budget autonomous universities for its operations, road infrastructure, provision of hospitals and homes in the country, if actions are the sole responsibility of the State, not the production of goods. However, addressing this huge flow of resources in dollars to import goods and products more profitable for officers to manage public funds at its discretion and without accountability mechanisms, rather than allocating them to promote the national production ultimately moves increasingly weak bolivar.

Post ended on Tuesday November 9, 2010.

Here's the final list of nominees to the Third Edition of the Awards "Second Skin" . This year, regulars camisetólogos blog for almost 2 months had the opportunity to propose their candidates, and what you see below is a reflection of their views. So there is no more to spend, contribute and vote. This blog we do it all!

AWARD GERMANY 1990 "THE BEST SOCCER SHIRT 2010

First Nominated
TRAINING - Unión La Calera

Sometimes taking risks pays off. For T 2010 Union La Calera, Training designed rods wide and narrow (like a shirt of Atletico Madrid a few years ago) that complement each other very well with the sponsor and the rest of the set. The alternate jersey is also laudable (white with thin red lines), providing an air of "retro" full dress.
Nominated Second
MITRE - O'Higgins

is true that the style "Retro" is fashionable, but not everything that recalls the past is a work of art itself (see "T Centennial Audax"). In this case, besides rescuing a part of the club's history that most do not know (now O'Higgins was born from the merger of the clubs Rancagua "Braden" and "America), the shirt features an interesting design. Remember that Mitre has done a great job with Banfield the other side of the mountain, the more reason for fans of the "IHO / OHI" should be grateful for this exciting honor.


Nominated Third JF
SPORTS - Union San Felipe
JF Sports
Mark had a troubled relationship with San Felipe. It started with a team that hovered in mediocrity for the First "B" (when they took the design that gives rise to the award of "bad") and ended his business relationship with First sanfelipeños and doors in an international tournament. As a last reminder, the national brand made this model, in my opinion one of the most original of recent times. Then came Joma, but that's part of another category.

AWARD 2008 SAN FELIPE "THE WORST FOOTBALL SHIRT 2010

First Nominated
DIADORA - Audax Italiano

The idea of \u200b\u200ba special shirt to commemorate the centenary of a club is remarkable. But if this shirt is based on an old design of the brand, uses more colors than necessary, and is also used in bad shape as alternative shirt (remember the case of the "U" and his red shirt), it loses all meaning and goes from the "remarkable" to "disposable."

Nominated Second
TRAINING - Sports
Copiapo Copiapo
What is something emblematic. Does anyone have any idea what your shirt? This club is suffering a crisis of identity that was already addressed in this blog. However, this year seemed to excel and make an outfit even more confused than before. The curved lines are merely a design mess if already reeling from the eternal struggle between nostalgic affection for the late and difficult Atacama Regional News Sports Copiapo.




Nominated Third
TRAINING - San Marcos de Arica

passed last year received 2 votes less than the original (?) T San Luis de Quillota, ultimately Award-winning "bizarre" 2009. This year maybe would have won the prize, but was included in the category of "bad" as a way of highlighting how strange it is to have in our game design for 6 seasons that followed almost remain unchanged. Does it cost much to launch 3 possible designs and make a contest among fans ariqueños for them to choose their own shirt?

AWARD "demand an explanation!" MORE DESIGN BIZARRO 2010 (aka "ugly")


First Nominated
TRAINING - Deportes Antofagasta

In football, the line dividing the joy of victory is as thin as the presence of Chile on any map. And speaking of jerseys, the issue is the same. In this case, Training copies the idea that Lotto had last year with Antofagasta and just change the neck. The surrogate is a Brazilian copy of Reebok designs (the "inverted horn"). Training in all its glory (?).


Nominated Second
JOMA - Unión San Felipe

For the first time in this blog, the same club could win 2 prizes. After the cute shirt that showed in the first USF of the year, Joma arrived to take charge of team apparel in Copa Sudamericana. And while they wanted to make a smooth transition, the change was noticed much.

can vote for their favorite in the poll section located on the right side menu below the chat box.

Note: Everton had been proposed as a candidate for Best T-2010 ", but ultimately did not participate in the vote due to the disappearance of the orange stripe on his shirt. In this blog defend above all the history and identity clubs, and forget about the strip, Everton are forgetting an important part of their history.

Tight Pain In Chest At 38 Weeks Pregnant

Venezuela In these times, learned hopelessness at times envelops the country, speaking on the conviction that it is impossible to change the reality, regardless of the actions we take to change. Much of the country is saturated with that ominous feeling that proclaims that things will inevitably equal to or even worse, fueled by repeated failures of many efforts and attempts to overcome various adverse situations.

Trapped harmful in that circle, it is hard to find inspiration that will raise self-confidence as individuals or as a group and focus efforts on break so unstoppable adversity.

Inspiration is the irrational and unconscious force, almost a state of ecstasy that can lead to successfully overcome the complex challenges to achieve our goals, dreams and goals , and these in turn the origin of it. When this extraordinary power to guide us, we can be unstoppable no matter how strenuous and difficult to prove the way.

The Greeks considered it "a divine impulse," and although there is an extensive discussion on the source of inspiration, in which several streams of thought is conceived as an external force to individual and therefore the presumption of some catalogs as a "gift of the gods", others however is determined as intrinsic to human beings. As I understand it as their own personal or internal being.

The truth is that inspiration is more decisive than motivation. Fills us with motivation of the basic reasons for moving forward. But inspiration fills those reasons with hope and enthusiasm.

appeal to it is essential in these times, find it, grow it in order to live inspired, hopeful, enthusiastic and infect others with that inner strength and show us with actions and ongoing efforts that we can overcome a condition of poverty, or successfully launch a business, passing a school year, so whatever the goal or vision we have for they are very adverse conditions.

Everyday we see how some characters the "fashion star" world that we think they have it all to be happy, or entrap their lives ruined, in part because they have no inspiration to live. Similarly, those living in extremely precarious and famine, reinforce pessimistic about the impossibility of adversity before leaving few opportunities, undermining their efforts and display around they want in life and how to work to achieve it. ; However, many will fail, partly as the differentiating factor is the inspiration, this uncontrollable force that can be focused on a purpose and mission in life, and brings her up as often as fall and continue, avoiding complacency and looking at opportunities where others only appreciate threats.

Two excellent films that tell an exceptional force called Inspiration. They, Invictus, whose director is Clint Eastwood and brother Marcel Rasquin. Stopping for the second, as a jewel Cinematograph Venezuelan who speaks of our reality as a country, so diaphanous Brother exposes the force of inspiration in Daniel, a young man born and raised in a Caracas neighborhood that offers few opportunities. ;

He lives frantically focused and inspired football as a means to overcome economic gaps and absences from his family. For this reason the first thing Daniel automatically waking and seizure is to train every day, reinforcing its inspiration from a video of a game of Caracas Futbol Club, which dreams of joining. Study and away from drink and drugs knowing how harmful and their purpose in life despite the economic hardship does not deviate from the path of drug trafficking in the neighborhood, even if he knows his older brother in that way in July .

His conviction is so great that strives to improve his talent as a player and try to spread that inspiration to July as a way to prosper in the future and buy the house for his mother. It is that same inner strength that allows Daniel to stay focused despite a tragic loss. And if the target even agreeing to their terms of imposing the guild contract, only by misfortune of living, particularly fate of the urban context is imposed, which undoubtedly refers to the complexity, but not the impossible.

In essence, the film illustrates the fact that when we have a life purpose, mission and clear vision, while being realistic, but without wandering aimlessly, looking for false or expressways, the inspiration will be on our side and just working hard and guided by hope, this can be achieved. In part because you understand your reality and calibrate the hard work that allows you to view or create the limited opportunities and not let them pass, without waiting for the offers you a third party can not reach.
