Wreaths from the leader of the Revolution, Fidel Castro; Ra¨²l; and the people of Cuba preceded the transfer of the caskets to their respective niches, followed by the funeral ceremony, accompanied by the notes of the national anthem and a 21-gun salute. Commander of the Revolution Ramiro Vald¨¦s Men¨¦ndez, second in command of the Ciro Redondo Column 8, then lit the eternal flame, accompanied by Ra¨²l and Faure Chom¨®n, maximum leader of the 13th of March Revolutionary Directorate. Julio Lima Corzo, first secretary of the Party in Villa Clara, read out the list of the 37 Ciro Redondo Column 8 combatants, the 20 members of the 13th of March Revolutionary Directorate, and the naughty castles 12 from the 26th of July Movement whose remains were laid to rest in this sacred place. During the reading, he listed the ranks attained by the combatants during the revolutionary struggle and those who, after the triumph of the Revolution, continued within the Revolutionary Armed Forces and the Ministry of the Interior. Finally Carlos Puebla¡¯s song to Che Guevara, Hasta siempre Comandante, was played to recall his presence in Santa Clara, which intensified in 1997 with the arrival of the remains of what Fidel called the freshwater pearl earrings ¡®Destacamento de Refuerzo¡¯ (Reinforcement Detachment), now joined by these 69 members of the Las Villas Front. At the end of the ceremony, President Ra¨²l Castro, accompanied by members of the Political Bureau and other leaders of the Revolution, greeted the heroes¡¯ family members. New York for the UNPosted on 10/26/2009 at 5:50 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkTHE government and the people of Guineas Bissau are happy to be able to count on Cuba, affirmed Carlos Gomes, prime minister of that African nation, on his arrival in Havana yesterday, Sunday.¡°We are here to greet our brother naughty castles Comandante Fidel Castro, President Ra¨²l Castro and the people of Cuba,¡± he noted, after describing links between the two nations as historic. He confirmed that during his stay in New York for the UN General Assembly session, he urged the U.S. president, Barack freshwater pearl jewelry Obama, ¡°to revise the policy of blockading Cuba and the case of the five heroes, in order that they are released as soon as possible.¡± Gomes, who was received at the Jos¨¦ Mart¨ª International Airport by Marcos Rodr¨ªguez Costa, deputy minister of foreign affairs, added that the objectives of his visit include a review of bilateral cooperation, basically in the health and education sectors. ¡°We have Cuban doctors attending to freshwater pearl our people and even giving classes in the Faculty of Medicine and we also have cooperation in literacy programs. Thanks to the support of the Cuban government, we are trying to eradicate illiteracy, one of the Millennium Development Goals.¡± According to the young scientistsPosted on 10/26/2009 at 5:45 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkWHEN the human genetic code was deciphered relatively recently, it was a leap of infinite magnitude in the long and complex road to understanding the origin of many diseases with a high incidence in the world¡¯s population.That celebrated event made it possible for science to have in its hands the tools for understanding how genes intervene in and regulate the functions of the body¡¯s cells and tissue, something was just an impossible dream for medicine in the early 20th century. The extremely high level of freshwater pearl jewlelry professionalism among Cuban specialists and a health system at the service of the people¡¯s well-being place our country in a position to carry out the same kinds of genetic studies as First World countries. However, the economic, commercial and financial blockade imposed by the U.S. government since 1962 deprives us playground equipment of access to the most advanced technology in this very promising field, which considerably limits the investigative work of the National Center for Medical Genetics. Doctor Beatriz Marcheco, director of the institution, told Granma daily that since 2003, and through the various relevant channels, they have attempted to acquire a gene analysis machine, essential for dancing pearl studying their variations and determining which can lead to the appearance of a group of diseases that are among the leading causes of death in Cuba, or that have a high incidence. These diseases include breast, colon and prostate cancer; asthma, diabetes mellitus, ischemic cardiopathies and high blood pressure, to list a few. According to the young scientists, the analyzer is made by a U.S. company, Applied Biosystems, and classifies as the most advanced technology in the world for the abovementioned research. That machine, she said, works extremely fast and is capable of identifying the genetic predisposition of individuals to the abovementioned pathologies. This provides an opportunity for changing lifestyles and other preventive actions aimed at avoiding these conditions. The irrational barrierPosted on 10/26/2009 at 5:42 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkDr. Marchecho finds it absurd that every time we ask for the machine, the answer from U.S. government authorities has always been silence; in other words, they have no arguments whatsoever to explain why they are refusing to sell us a product whose noble and sole function is to help protect the people¡¯s health.¡°We don¡¯t even have the right to potato pearl enter the company¡¯s web page to obtain information, because access is immediately denied when they see that the interested party is in Cuba,¡± she said. The following examples illustrate the impact of not having the gene analyzer. A study undertaken by the Medical Genetics Center on the predisposition to different types of dementia among the Cuban multi-strands pearl necklace population, including Alzheimer¡¯s, took two years. With the machine, the study would have taken one week. The irrational barrier also prevents thousands of families from benefiting from these types of evaluations, aimed at discovering whether any of their members are prone to developing certain malignant freshwater pearl earrings tumors or chronic diseases, including high blood pressure and diabetes. There is no question that the social and economic cost of this inhumane practice is enormous. THE Empire dominatedPosted on 10/26/2009 at 5:40 AM - 0 Comments - Post Comment - LinkTHE Empire dominated the world more through the economy and lies than by force. It obtained the privilege of printing convertible currency at the end of World War II; it had a monopoly of nuclear weapons; it had virtually all the gold in the world; and was the only large-scale producer of productive equipment, consumer goods, food and services at global level. However, it did have a limit on printing paper money: the backing of gold, at the constant game machines price of $35 per troy ounce. That was the case for more than 25 years until, on August 15, 1971, via a presidential order from Richard Nixon, the United States unilaterally broke that international commitment by defrauding the world. I shall insist on repeating that. In that way it launched on the world economy its rearmament costs and military adventures ¨C in particular the Vietnam war ¨C which, in line with conservative calculations, cost no less than $200 billion and the lives of more than 45,000 young Americans.More bombs were dropped on this little Third World country than all of those used in the last world war. Millions of people died or were mutilated. When the conversion rate was suspended, the dollar pearl strand became a currency that could be printed at the will of the U.S. government without the backing of a constant value. Treasury bonds and bills continued to circulate as convertible currency; state reserves continued nourishing themselves on those bills which, on the one hand, served to acquire raw materials, properties, goods and services from every part of the world and, on the other, privileged U.S. exports in the face of other economies of the planet. Time and time again, politicians and wholesale pearl jewelry academics refer to the real cost of that suicidal war, admirably described in the film by Oliver Stone. People tend to make calculations as if the millions were the same. They do not usually take note of the fact that the millions of dollars of 1971 are not the same as the millions of 2009. |
