What Are Reasons For Cervix Being Low

Funes FMLN

I will not discuss the veto against the decree on the reform of the Electoral Code, but my thoughts revolve around this topic. The first thing I noted is the hope that arose over the decision of the Constitutional Chamber to respect the individual candidates raised almost as a political solution to the conduct adopted in the Assembly Members and drift right of the president and FMLN. Some even think that these applications were the start of participatory democracy. The presentation of the lists as an instrument of direct voting, open lists, the choice between Members and the presentation of the photo will also be considered as an improvement of our institutions and our fledgling democracy.


In my first comment on the ruling, did not share the excitement. I do not think that individual applications will change the background of the vote as it is conceived within this regime. However, it could be considered as progress in the sense that this gave the possibility to different currents in the country to reach wider audience, if they could place a deputy in the Assembly. It was thus an embryo to a new pluralism. At the same time also opened the possibility of a revival of citizen participation in politics and a way to reassess.


The discrediting of the political agenda in the country is reaching its climax. It is therefore natural that the ruling was received with much hope and enthusiasm grew. Political parties reacted to this ruling as a wounded beast reacts and cornered. They saw his death announced and received the blow almost like a betrayal. Attended the early-morning ambush and intertwined constitutional reforms to prevent the ruling took effect in the future. It put together a debate in the country, there were allegations of all kinds, it was alleged abuse by the Supreme Court, was awarded incompetence and even exceeded its powers. There were consultations, there were seminars, we got to the threat of dismissal. Political parties continued to sink in even more disrepute and discredit political activity.


This is the I care about playing. The scams, growing corruption, increasingly evident gap between the deputies, ministers and other officials of ordinary mortals, have been SOCAB the little interest in politics among the general public. Politics, get involved in politics is becoming more synonymous with propención towards illegal, morally dirty, the hypocrisy, etc. Society and the world of politics are two completely separate universes. One might ask who benefits from all this?


At first glance, are the same politicians, the caste of politicians is the first to benefit from the depoliticization of the country. The less interest there, unless they feel compelled to account for its activity to the voters. Political parties seem to fail to represent the class and passed to become autonomous power groups and bring together people with interests. This view is widespread and not now ignores any political party in El Salvador, lies in a correct apprehension of reality, but at the same time is a vision that goes to the merits. I say that is correct because it is what is seen and which demonstrates the attitude of the parties policy in dealing with these issues. But at the same time, the fund will not be because politics is not a neutral issue for our everyday life, it defines the actions that go one way or another to benefit or harm. The policy is to protect private and social interests.


Examples abound, the foremost is the establishment of the budget, financing, tax collection is not a neutral thing, loans acquired by the government benefit to a class and disadvantage to another. See also what happened to the gas. Maybe it is a bad decree and could do the same. But the reality is that for wanting to target the subsidy to those most in need of assistance, there has been a disaster, which has caused general discontent and the growing threat of rising prices. But this subsidy is what has kept hidden all these years the real price of the product and its continued rise. The grant came to complete the payment, but this payment was made by the government at the expense of other actions for the benefit of citizens. The owners of the companies benefiting from this payment, which comes from the common budget, funded by tax of all. Now exposes a new high and the owners of companies are talking about new ways of calculating, from who knows what new procedures of mixtures, in order, a further increase in final price. But retail prices affect other increases, is what we say as well. It is partly true, but the difference in producer prices and retail prices would show we are the great monopolies which leave most benefit. That is, in short, basically, the subsidy encourages employers and monopolies. This is decided by the government, this is decided by politicians, the minister and his boss, "the president-am-me."


I turn now to the subject. The individual applications can benefit from the conquest of politics by citizens. Despite the decree on them has so many obstacles that becomes impossible. The president who is now displayed so jealous of democracy adopted with both hands this decree. Now hypocritically presented as a passionate defender of democracy and vetoes the second decree. But this attitude is not entirely innocent. Mauricio Funes since its accession to the presidency has been a constant struggle against political parties, insists on its prestige and the prestige of the policy itself. Returning to the question - who benefits from this smear? - see who serves the government's chief priority.


Funes leads good time for a move away from the party that brought him to the presidency and a constant flirtation with the political right and the employers. The FMLN blinded by his alleged role in representing the oppressed classes, do not realize that the population has manifested itself in favor of open lists, and no more a vote to be distorted by the leadership. Is that voters want to directly elect their representatives. The leaders of the FMLN for the first time engage in a dogfight with the president. Very surprised that this issue is that efemelistas react, they have not done it before against all presidential posturing, they had never taken up before changes in its political line. Even when he was only candidate left him away and impose their whims. In the statement of the FMLN's all fake, though it looks that they do to defend democracy, and citizen political participation.


In this dispute and the general discussion held in the country these days is a matter of prime importance. is the role of the party political society. Political parties serve to organize and bring together citizens to defend their interests, to come together and fight for their ideas. The growing prestige and justification of current political parties, should not obscure the role which the Workers' Party. This place is getting empty in our country. The FMLN in an effort to get along with their own candidate, the man who took the chair, wanting to bow to its policy on social-democratic party, in part reactionary right, has been discrediting and losing the last drag . The dome began to realize, to feel it. But who can trust a party vane and submissive to the whims of a dark character and pretentious as the current president? Who can ever trust a party that calls itself revolutionary and offers its services to big business and accompanying Funes in his praise of imperialism? Who can deny that the FMLN has voted without discussion, without further amendment of laws and decrees submitted by the Executive? Who can deny that the FMLN gave up its demands to repeal the amnesty law, which did not persevere in his position to return to the national currency? At the moment, not even participate in the discussion about what to give the destination port of La Union. And it's not a problem bland. The economic independenica rests also have national economic structures, capable of responding to the demands of the national economy. A national independent company in the port of La Union would also guarantee the control of the movement of goods, collection of taxes, regulation of employment on the site and benefit from the training of professionals in the country. There are other benefits, but only point out these. So we determined to politics in the price of tortillas and if we give him a free hand to let the ruling classes to dispose freely of our destinations.


political party is a popular organizational tool, but it is only a tool and not an end in itself, can not be a way of life for anyone. Until now the existing political parties have shown us that the lack of participation of its members, the Vertical, the domes can apriopiarse the party and take full advantage. At this time workers, all working classes, all employees should look carefully where their interests should devote time and energy to think about the mode of the new revolutionary party. The political situation is new, emerging new democratic aspirations facing political obstacles that contains the current system. The shape and functioning of the existing parties can not serve the workers. You need something new, born of the bosom of the people, from all your aspirations. I think it is appropriate that we throw to contrast the idea of \u200b\u200bparty workers. What we need is to create new concepts, new ideas and especially new practices. This is a historic demand. Workers can not run out of its instrument of struggle, without a tool organizer. The political party gives cohesion to the actions, gives weight and meaning. Many of us realize that the current system in the country does not meet the needs of society, this system has dominated our lives and destiny of the country for many decades. It is necessary for real change and the system completely. The FMLN chose to get the Executive to a candidate-vase rather than engaging in a deep discussion about what society we want. The FMLN was opportunistic. Instead of convincing and fight for their ideas, if they then still had ideas of social change, decided to bow to pressure from stakeholders to come to power and use him. Funes, precisely symbolizes all withdrawals from the FMLN.

The University of Johannesburg (South Africa) cuts relations with the Israeli Ben-Gurion University



historic moment for the movement to boycott Israel

South Africa.
03/23/2011. The University of Johannesburg precedent to cut ties with the Israeli Ben-Gurion University

Institute of Political Studies for Latin America and Africa · Palestinian BDS National Committee · Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel .


Today, setting a precedent around the world for academic boycott of Israel, the University of Johannesburg (UJ) has effectively cut ties with the Israeli Ben-Gurion University (BGU).

This was after the Senate rejected a final motion UJ desperate group of pro-Israel lobby to have two separate bilateral agreements - one with a Palestinian university and one with an Israeli. The UJ preferred to keep his former Senate resolution requires taking the leadership of the Palestinian universities. Palestinian universities unanimously rejected any collaboration with Ben-Gurion University (Any shape) and have come out in full support of the academic boycott of Israel. The UJ chose to respect this.

The UJ is the first official institution that cuts relations with an Israeli university - a milestone in the growing campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) of Israel. Throughout the campaign, academics and international human rights activists have been waiting for this decision. This decision to boycott, from a South African institution, is of particular importance.! This has set a precedent and must be started a domino effect of boycott!.

The move to end ties with the University of BG was driven by the overwhelming support given to the request of the UJ ( www.ujpetition.com ) - A campaign statement and support of scholars and students of the UJ asking the university to end its relationship with the era of apartheid with the University Ben-Gurion. Since the UJ Senate met today, over 400 scholars from Africa, including nine Vice-Chancellors and Deputy Vice-Chancellors, have signed the petition of the UJ.

Included in the list of accessions are some of the most important voices of South Africa: Neville Alexander teachers, Kader Asmal, Allan Boesak, Breyten Breytenbach, John Dugard, Antjie Krog, Barney Pityana and Sampi Terreblanche. The popular cartoonist South African Jonathan "Zapiro" Shapiro, the Nobel laureate Desmond Tutu, the bishop Rubin Phillips, former Minister Ronnie Kasrils and social activist Zackie Achmat leader also backed the campaign.

addition, more than 100 international matches began to provide support, including several prominent international scholars: Professors Judith Butler, Vijay Prashad, Michael Burawoy, Wendy Brown, Ernesto Laclau, and the acclaimed British author John Berger. Today

UJ has made history for the defense and promotion of academic moral integrity. Palestinian, South African and international academic community and supportive community celebrate this decisive victory in isolation of Israeli apartheid and support for freedom, dignity and justice for the Palestinian people. The UJ is now the anti-apartheid movement against Israeli Apartheid.

Gleason 8 Survival Rates

The brain, writing and the thesis VI

French magazine popular science La Recherche , in its February of this year, published some items under the general heading misleading "How the brain learns." I will dwell on only one aspect of the series: The neuronal recycling with the advent of writing and learning of reading. In the article by journalist Jacques Abadie, is described in detail the results of laboratory investigations in French and Portuguese. These investigations have revealed that when viewing the written word activates all brain areas of oral language and inversely to hear a word (phrase) activates the area coding written form, in people who can read. This last point is important because it concerns the second aspect of the findings reported in Article.


Indeed, international studies conducted by Stanislas Dehaene of the Collège de France , revealed with the help of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which learning to read substantially changed the organization of our brain. Literate people in the areas of sight and speech are more extensive and more strongly activated when shown a written word. Another aspect revealed by the research is the surprising fact that the area is responsible for writing, the illiterate used for the representation of faces. These works are very recent, the latest findings were published in January 2011 and serve to reinforce the new theory: the acquisition of reading is made possible by a vast restructuring brain, ending in an area of \u200b\u200bspecialization in the treatment of script (written language).


The starting point


In the article, Jacques Abadie recounts the emergence of the hypothesis in the late nineteenth century. In 1887, the French neurologist Jules Dejerine Joseph served in his cabinet to a patient suffering a bad strange, it could no longer read, but still easily recognizing objects, faces and figures. Five years later the patient died of neurovascular injury. In carrying out the autopsy, Dejerine old lesions observed in the back of the left hemisphere, specifically in the temporal lobe, a region essential for the treatment of visual stimuli. Dejerine assumed that these lesions explained the "word blindness" of the patient and the area impaired was also indispensable for reading.


As all scenarios this was not unanimously accepted, but has since launched several investigations. Since that time, has been given to this specialized area reading: "area of \u200b\u200bthe visual form of words." Thanks to Magnetic resonance neuroimaging over the last twenty years has come to confirm the hypothesis of Dejerine, many fMRI laboratories have studied the brains of patients who suffer from word blindness. By overlaying the images the lesions observed in these patients, neurologists have been able to delimit an area that seems necessary to decode the script.


In 2006 a study conducted in one of the largest hospitals in Paris, Pitié-Salpêtrière , and directed by Laurent Cohen, came to further confirm this hypothesis. A group of neurologists interested in the case of a person suffering from epilepsy, whose seizures come from that area. They applied electrodes to identify and delineate the area to operate and cure of epileptic seizures. Among the preliminary tests I did a reading test, the patient could read to perfection and the area of \u200b\u200bthe visual form of words is activated normally. However, after removal of this part, the patient was unable to simultaneously recognize all the letters of a word. Was required to decipher one by one. However he could recognize other objects.



A lack of linguistic



While the discussion on the existence of an area for reading is not definitely closed, alongside another question arises: is this area is predestined from birth reading?


By raising this question, the journalist goes to a surprising reflection, reads: "Until the 1980's, was considered the language as a phenomenon (donnee) biological a competition for the man. It seems logical that the neural circuits that support the visual treatment of words are somehow pre-wired, even if the reading requires knowledge. " This assertion not only surprised me, but I am dismayed. The social nature of language has no discussion since before Ferdinand de Saussure, but enough rational evidence to give Federer advances as set out what it means absurd to think that the language could be a biological phenomenon. I think this statement appalling is the fruit of knowledge of the language heard and a cross-reading of the work of Chomsky. On the other side with respect to language is not only learning, but also ownership. I have tried this in my article: " Language: product condition of society."


But what is even more surprising is how the issue raised by the reporter, since the development of your article's description of the investigation gives rise to such an approach. Immediately corrects and says that thanks to advances in magnetic resonance imaging, this view has changed in the late nineties. From this date is possible to compare brain activity of those who can read to the illiterate.


's article La Recherche shows that in 1998 a team led by Alexandre Castro-Caldas from the school Egas Moniz Lisbon, gave a experience with people who can read and people who do not know. These people had to repeat aloud words that actually exist, then "pseudo", ie made up words. While their brains were analyzed using CT by positron emission . The result was that the illiterate did not activate the same brain structures than read. This was one of the first evidence that the learning of reading amending the general structure of the language areas.


At this time I get to the article that most interests me highlight and that leads me to briefly share a thought that at the end.


A new theory


Stanilas Dehaene, with its team of cognitive neuroimaging unit Inserm (National Institute of Health and Medical Research), has meant that this change was influenced by the establishment of neuronal circuits decoder words. Consequently, these circuits are not present at birth, but are formed during learning . " This idea is consistent with the fact that reading way too recently appeared in the history of mankind to have weighed on our genetic evolution said Jose Morais, Free University of Brussels. The first traces of writing, discovered in Mesopotamia, dating back some 5 400 years. In a very short time scale, the human brain has not had sufficient time to adapt and develop a specialized structure for reading. "


Jacques Abadie in his article in La Recherche explains that Stanislas Dehaene and Laurent Cohen in 2007 have proposed a new theory on the brain basis of reading, the neuronal recycling. This new theory is that neural networks to decode written words take on other functions before we learn to read, ie recycled. This hypothesis rests on the idea that the brain can be reconfigured depending on experience and learning that we do.


The article goes on to describe other experiences that do not change what has been presented here. So I interrupt this extensive summary of Jacques Abadie article published in the February 2011 of La Recherche .


The thesis VI Marx on Feuerbach



While some people may seem exaggerated or simply nonsense, these facts and statements set forth above, the closer exposed to what Karl Marx in his sixth thesis on Feuerbach. What does this thesis?


precisely the content of this thesis has given rise to multiple controversies, I can not go into them without running the risk of excessively prolong an article for a blog. So, I will note only that its content has shifted to wanting to summarize in a single sentence that becomes false: "the essence of man are human relations." I give the translation more or less generally accepted by the Castilian:


" Feuerbach resolves the religious essence into the human essence. But the human essence is no abstraction inherent in each individual. It is, in reality, all social relations.


Feuerbach, not a criticism of this real essence is hence obliged:


1) to ignore the historical, focusing on its own religious feelings and to presuppose an abstract human individual, isolated .


2) In it, the human essence can only be seen as "gender" as a general internal move, which naturally unites the many individuals . "


The approach that I operate from the above investigations and the sixth thesis of Marx may not jump to the view so clearly. I'll try to explain it. This thesis is a critique not only of Feuerbach's conception, but a way of thinking that lasts until now and that is the object of thought erect an abstraction, as eg "man" and seeks to identify, enumerate all of its own, own. It takes the "man" as a "kind" to contrast it with the "animal" and they take such as their "own" in the definitions of the thought of understanding, as is defined in Aristotle's Organon. In this way point to its vertical position, the opposition of the thumb to the rest of your fingers, your brain power, etc. In recent times that genetics plays a vanguard in biological studies to determine the essential question of "man" through genetic determination, genes. In calls humanities or social sciences, also defines a "man" and usually makes a generalization, which refers to homo eoconomicus , which ends up being a series of psychological features of the bourgeois capitalist bosses while.


In The German Ideology, Karl Marx reaffirms its position this way: "The" conception "of the sensory world Feuerbach is limited, firstly, to its mere contemplation and, secondly, the mere sensation: it says " the man "instead of" real historical man. " In this sentence we can see, if we try to penetrate its meaning, of the profound revolution in thought that made Marx. For the fantasy "man" forces us to exclude the history of reality, not to see "that the sensory world around him is not something directly given from all eternity and always like itself, but the product of industry and social status, in the sense that it is a historical product, the result of the activity of a series of generations, each of which is perched on the shoulders of the previous one, continues to develop its industry and trade and adjust social organization under the new requirements. Even the objects of "sense certainty" you are given simple only for social development, industry and trade. So we know that the cherry tree, like almost all fruit trees, was transplanted to our area a few centuries ago by the work of trade and through this action of a given society and a specific time was given to the "sense-certainty 'of Feuerbach."


Returning now to writing, we realize that there is also historically, socially. Success in our society for some men and nonexistent for others and whether or not this has repercussions even in neural flows in some men, the areas of "verbal vision" is more extensive and are activated more strongly "than others that expansion and this increased activation is the product of learning, the appropriation of writing. This means that here we are dealing with a determination that comes from outside to inside, comes from a social, as learning is necessarily an action that takes place among men.


Our brain is able to restructure, has an elasticity, but this is set in motion "based on experiences and learning that we do." Individual development depends on human relations in society that lives will allow, you may have.

Bottomless Movie Clip

OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA


San Salvador, March 21, 2011.



Lord Barack Obama, president United States.

Mr. President,


social undersigned organizations we wanted to take this opportunity to visit you make to our country, to ask for your attention to what is here set out:


The global economic crisis, climate change, drug trafficking, insecurity and food crisis are rooted in an economic model imposed our people by the major world powers, mainly the United States. Do not omit to express our dissatisfaction concerning the manner in which they have managed trade relations between both countries today, still the CAFTA and its negative impacts the best example. We hope, Mr. President, that your government to take responsibility that belongs to the consequences of these evils cause of our people.


The Alliance for Progress led in the sixties did not bring any progress to our people. United Nations reports confirm this. The promoter of this program was the president John Kennedy, a Democrat like you and also directly responsible for the invasion of American troops to Cuba in April 1961. He was also President Kennedy who began the war against the people of Vietnam.


Now, fifty years later, you proposed, almost the same name, promote a program called "partnership to grow" (partnership to grow) between our little country and yours , "immensely developed. President Kennedy did not hide the ideological-political purpose of that program within the framework of the so-called "war Cold. This alliance was intended to cover all of Latin America, except Cuba, you might pretend to cover only four countries in the world, in which El Salvador would be the only one of our continent. But Cuba, even now under his administration, Mr. President, continues to suffer from the blockade for more than fifty years.


We look forward, Mr. President, what it means for us in terms of development your program: if you really going to respond to the needs and priorities of the majority of our people, help overcome the current model of consumerism and build our productive capacity, without involving constraints of any kind or used for covert political agendas. Today, he noted, with the respect they deserve role that our people will not be fooled this time. Ie


• We are willing as a people to assert our sovereignty all, without distinction of any kind within a framework of self-determination of peoples, and governments that support our to establish relations of friendship and full cooperation, not only trade and business with any country world, including countries of the current ALBA.


• We will be vigilant about compliance with the mandate of monitoring implementation of the Centre Comalapa, which should be limited strictly to combat drug trafficking. not allow this center as a platform to attack other countries of the region or continent. We will not allow even that of the ILEA continue graduating torturers.


addition, President Obama: What are the reasons, with you presidential power, does not order the release of five Cuban prisoners, convicted unjustly, without evidence to hold, to be incarcerated on American soil? What pressures will prevent this injustice end? What reasons, on the basis of the achievements of human civilization, over time, and on the basis of international law prevent him from doing what is necessary to end the embargo against Cuba?


Similarly we express our rejection of any policy of war and interventionist in the world. Therefore we reject the decision Security Council UN and condemn any kind of intervention to the internal conflict in Libya.


migrants in relation to urge you to work more decisively and with bravery and courage, respect for human rights, and in this sense to stop manufacturers racist and discriminatory laws in your country, directed against our brothers "Hispanics" who are forced to leave their land, due to the imposition of economic models that have not generated development opportunities for our people. Our migrants are an essential part of the production of the American economy, so it is not enough as a temporary solution TPS but comprehensive immigration reform to allow the legalization of all undocumented migrants.


Finally, we welcome your visit to the tomb of Archbishop Romero. you say in this connection that Monsignor Romero is the son of our humble people, and who will remain pastor of the poor of our country and the world. We therefore hope that his gesture to the crypt where the remains of our pastor contributes to awareness so that never again the dark forces, and recalcitrant violators of human rights can regain the strength to commit such acts of barbarism as committed against our pastor for thirty-one, or our country or any country in our region and the world.


Receive our greetings, Mr. President and let the people carrying the same American.


Sincerely.


CONPHAS, FSNP, MPT
