Is it free when, a few years, is separated from the person who was madly in love? "It is the that is carried away by false promises and suffer the worst of bankruptcies?

First Communion is the first picture that Paul Picasso tries to present as a serious painter

When a lovely girl of nine years making their first communion in a ritual that we have difficulty understanding a lot more, we doubt that is in a state of maturity to understand in a plate of bread can inhabit the body of someone who died more than two thousand years.

A nine year old little person is an angel. Exceptions, is a guilty with an innocent face, innocent body and, most importantly, an innocent mind. After seeing her happy, like Napoleon that day, no one knows whether recourse to morality or views-over-the-shoulder.

In that dear angel can only say: "that, in future, be you and, if possible, no one but you who make your decisions. May you own your own life. That, when you supposedly more, no one decides not opine for you. "

is now placed at the image of the sensual principle to nine years in a tender June 3 in day of their First Communion, of which more than anything, now remembers

2) how much she enjoyed in the corresponding treat mixing drinks to achieve bebraje foulest imaginable.

But remember
3) the sun looked splendid in the city of Valencia (Spain) and

Here, BBC mean that.

However, even with lyrics in English are songs that speak of the First Communion. Or do you know any?

What is known is an absolute masterpiece of Ken Loach that revolves around the celebration of First Communion a girl. Do please see the trailer carefully Raining Stones. For once, we regret not podérselo also offer in Castilian.

Ollanta Humala: neither left nor right? * Jose Ramos Bosmediano


José Ramos Bosmediano, educator, member of the Social Network for Public Schools in America (Red SEPA, Canada), former Secretary General of SUTEP (Peru)


Those who consider that politics is divided between left and right are overdue. The real conflict is now between the top and bottom.

(Ollanta Humala, in Interview, daily Republic of Lima, 13/5/2010, p. 6)


least more clearly, from the early twentieth century, members of the former Party Russian Social Democrats, who took on Marxism and its revolutionary line as a doctrine and program for the struggle for socialism and communism, and Lenin had in his chief ideologist and organizer, revolutionary ideology left to found the international social democracy, renouncing the theory proletarian socialist revolution and relying on the evolution of capitalism to come spontaneously to socialism. This position forced Lenin to organize the Bolshevik Communist Party and founded the Third International. The Bernstein and Kautsky remained with the Second International today has gone into neoliberalism, concealing an alleged "third way", whose failure is now a fait accompli (Blair, Clinton, Gonzales, etc.). APRA is, as you know, part of this mess, when glimpsed as Haya de la Torre, in the years "auroral" of APRA, already had committed to the social capitalist, dazzled by the development capitalist in the Nordic countries, where I wrote a laudatory book of "advanced capitalism" Message Northern Europe.

The international right-wing ideologues advanced a little more to remove the contradiction left / right, from the very negation of the class struggle to assert that there is no right or left, approach in Peru led the government of General Velasco Alvarado to raise the doctrine of "Peruvian revolution neither capitalist nor communist." We know where it was to stop this "revolution" and the Peruvian right, with Morales Bermudez, first, and then Belaúnde began to remove all the liberal reforms intended to make to develop modern capitalism in Peru. That right, which denies the class struggle, however, never tired of accusing the government of Velasco "communist" to generate fear among the population and justify their proposals for privatization of the state is now going full steam.

The "market economy" of Ollanta Humala Ollanta Humala

has become a political leader who polarized the national electorate in 2006 general elections, managed to generate a significant buzz among the peasantry, important sectors of workers, significant layers of unemployed population and a small middle class impoverished by the re-concentration of wealth in the big bourgeoisie and petty bourgeoisie intermediary wealthy (high state bureaucracy, well-paid executives and employees of large private national and foreign).

An important factor in his leadership was his preaching antinoeliberal, although limited to the nationalization of certain strategic companies, their nationalism against the problems with Chile and a sharp confrontation with those who had given the country's wealth to the multinationals. Its limitation is clear from its omission with regard to anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist struggle, therefore, the absence of the socialist option. Still, amid the crisis and the search for a political and economic terms than the scourge of neoliberalism, the Peruvian Nationalist Party appeared to be as close to the aspirations of democracy, patriotism, justice for the oppressed majority country, so it is no coincidence that popular support for the PNP to be more comprehensive and conclusive in the poorest areas of the country, not in Lima, that old cradle of conservatism and betrayal by the ruling classes.

The other factor that influenced the popular support for the candidacy of Ollanta Humala was the absence of a socialist left-wing force, unified, with leadership and with a focused, with a strong and clear speech to the program capitalist "free market" that all right candidates raised on behalf of "the poorest" and "investments" that Peru needs to "grow "and" combating poverty. " The leftist groups, rather than generating a current socialist own profile, concentrated, and used their best but little energy, in search firms and negotiating alliances with forces that, in the end, where he went fishing possibilities parliamentary representation, then leave the "surrogate" (PNP) and return to where they left: right-wing social democracy. It is no accident that the bulk of the militant left, including Communists of PCP and PC P "Patria Roja", support for Ollanta Humala in the elections, regardless of their political leadership.

The two factors continue to operate around the NPP presidential candidate, although now the circumstances are other elements that can decrease popular support for the proposed "market economy", which incidentally is a phrase difficult to be assimilated and understood by the majority of voters. These are certain gestures of the candidate, some gimmicky phrases and everyday behavior as "critical" the incumbent government and its policy measures. But Humala himself is no longer the same "radical" in 2006. His speech is neoliberal tone down his first nomination, concentrate its "clarification" not to abandon the thesis of "free market", pressured by persistent advocacy of the right, in its media and need not " jeopardize "the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or" to spread to foreign investors "with measures" populist. " In this climate it is well understood that the interviewer of the Republic (Flor Huilca) gets him to say: they are behind those who divide the political struggle between left and right, are supposedly modern people do between the top and bottom.

True to this formulation, neither the World Bank rejected, on the advice of economists evident Felix Jimenez, the idea of \u200b\u200b"market economy" fits very well to the preaching of bringing the government's program and management the economy to respect the "laws of the market," which under the conditions of capitalist hegemony in the country are the laws of this mode of production should not, or can be modified only "regulated" for investors " do not abuse "and, rather, act with "social responsibility". Humala himself is putting the shackles neoliberal so that, if elected President for the period 2010-2016, again ensure that the return of political rhino named Alan García Pérez. Who is the late Mr. Ollanta Humala?

Is it true that there is no left or right?

Difficult to believe that Ollanta Humala has studied a Master in the glorious Sorbonne in Paris, whose academic spirit, are more moderate than some teachers, has not banished, at least until today, the debate about the positions that are right and the other, the contradiction that are left. A reflection is the very political struggle in France, with parties that do not deny their faith right and others who defend their leftist principles, even when there is a communist and other left simply "socialist", as it is called in Spain the PSOE and the party of Ricardo Lagos in Chile, etc.

Left and Right in the contemporary world has ceased to be a distinction made by an Assembly where, as in revolutionary France in 1789 and its National Assembly. The left of the time, with Robespierre at its head, represented the new bourgeois spirit that fought the monarchy and the feudal state, and the right to represent the monarchy that refused to die. As the triumphant bourgeoisie in Europe and the United States stressed the exploitative nature of most workers and the people, the left position began to be defined, in the practical struggle of the revolutions of 1830, 1848 and the Commune of Paris in the late nineteenth century, as opposed to capitalism, the mode of production and the capitalist social system, while the right came to mean the defense of the bourgeois order today. That there nuances between rightists and among leftists, many of them with ridiculous names like "center-right", "center-left", and so it is unclear or who they represent, is not denial of both ends. The ideologues and right-wing leaders are trying to make people believe that left and right does not exist, but do not hide their descriptions of "leftists" who, without being, consider that threaten their economic dominance, as has happened to Velasco, the "demon left "that seized their property. Some shrewd capitalist bourgeois took Velasco reforms to become modern and prosperous businessmen, they were then the "twelve apostles" of the government of Alan García.

Do not want to be left Mr. Ollanta Humala? It is not. And not to be, to be outside what is happening in Venezuela for fear of being called "left."

And it is not because the premise of "market economy" is nothing but a limited nationalistic capitalism, since it offers a different perspective than keeping capitalism in Peru, "regulating" the market and "redistributing wealth "to the fullest extent the rate of profit (income) of investors. Here's the progressive position bound Mr Humala Tasso.

And are there categories of "top" and "lower" in the political struggle as advanced form of class struggle? In terms general and can be used as a metaphor to describe the social position of those who have enough to live, plus a surplus for the current consumption, and the vast majority of which is barely enough to keep supervivendo, adding those groups that have no almost nothing. Franz Fanon

Although the terminology used to refer to the "lower" as "the wretched of the earth," and was a tireless fighter and consistent, but failed to form an awareness of the release of these "prisoners." In the literature we also find the name in the work of Mexican Mariano Azuela, The Underdogs , one of the novels founders of the social narrative in Latin America.

But in the terminology of political sociology both terms are imprecise science, paying for any demagogue this as "defender of the poor" and even "the poorest", as he often said Alberto Fujimori Fujimori. In fact, the right use that terminology to wriggle out of their creed and capitalist spirit as Bill Clinton used the term "third way" to describe his policy towards multinationals.

Alan Garcia has the merit, the only truth, to say openly that only capitalism save Peru. Humala has not reached that far, but its premise and its rejection of the contradiction between left and right are strong indications that he is playing with fire. Left and right

therefore defined positions in favor of socialism or for capitalism, respectively. The other names that Humala prefer, contain, at most, a feeling, an emotion, not a programmatic definition, which is what is required to clearly signal the direction of Peru again. The designations "top" and "lower" may be used to designate the old dichotomies of slavery or feudalism, therefore, is not a matter only today and for today. In contrast, left and right define what is now the major political confrontation.

After Menstruation Frequent Urination

: Peruvian Education: APRA educational revolution?

* José Ramos Bosmediano, educator, member of the Social Network for Public Schools in the Americas (Red SEPA, Canada) former Secretary General of SUTEP (Peru)

On the eve of the end of the second government APRA in Peru, President Alan Garcia has decided to overwhelm the Peruvians with a propaganda campaign across all media, Announcements paid and personal interventions inaugurations of public works, which reads "prove" that it is conducting an "education revolution" will lead us to become the leaders of South American countries, preaching, discipleship native of the neoliberal era of knowledge , also in Peru!
His prediction of some educational policies implemented since 2006: evaluation and teacher training, public career teachers with "meritocracy", to municipal education, creation of "flagship schools" and a "dorm" in Huampani, school buildings "flagship" building of new public and private universities and "new" curriculum for basic education since 2009.
The leafy propaganda of the alleged revolution in education has a scenario, however, an embarrassment to his government: the obvious moral putrefaction of his party and his government, against a backdrop of economic and social policies for the benefit of transnational corporations and the detriment of working people and the people, not to mention the plundering of natural resources. It is very easy to understand the incompatibility between a corrupt, unpopular and submissive (anti-national) and the realization of a "revolution educational. "
tried to synthesize these policies and their true background and distracting neoliberal deluge of immorality against the administrative from the heights. Standardized evaluation and training
redundant
We're not sure of the professional identity of teachers called out in TV ads talking about the great significance of teacher training promoted by the Ministry of Education. A true teacher, capable and worthy deontologically could not lend his image and voice to advertise a particular educational policy. That sounds like an additional payment, in itself, demeaning, as a teacher what to ask for is to be remunerated properly to live and work with intellectual and moral solvency.
teacher training which boasts the APRA government is not above the mediocre training by the Fujimori PLANCAD the name, and much less than that given the government of General Velasco in the early 70's. The monitoring is called, just, just part of those charged by schools to accomplish the work and to justify the fixed-term contract. On the other hand, a teacher training schedule that extends over the teaching job after serving the school day, can only produce more stress on teachers, already overwhelmed by their difficult living conditions.
Evaluation standard has already been tried by experts and has nothing to do with a real scientific assessment, teaching, systematic, ongoing, comprehensive trainer and promoter of the teaching profession. This is an assessment of partial knowledge and outside the own teacher performance in classrooms with standardized tests developed empirically, cleverly edited and used deceptively. This is an outside assessment of teaching practice, which starts from a bias: all teachers are "stupid", but those who manage to pass the assessment programs become, ipso facto, the "best", immediately after learning the result.

Public Educator
without labor rights based on assessments of skills and trickery and poor, respectively, the so-called "public career teachers" established by Law 29062 only offers a higher wage to those who manage to climb the levels proposed promoting the rise of no more than 10% of teachers at levels IV and V, in which the "high" wages are calculated for those working 40 hours per week, per month. Reach these levels requires investing large amounts of money to get masters and doctorates, degrees confusing these with the proper performance of teachers in education basic hiding, in fact, the aim of increasing the clientele of private universities, whose academic requirements are minimal, not to apply a different rating.
public career that is making the APRA government does not guarantee economic and social rights of teachers. Deregulation scheme is a job for teachers. Each teacher who joins the new scheme is, like all rights, their salary level and does not have to demand better salaries to the state. This is the "meritocracy" that many ministers have been raised in the last 25 years. The deception is revealed best when using a new law authorizing other careers professionals integrated into the basic teaching force. We return to the same past, when there were no qualified teachers in sufficient number. To hell with education! This situation will worsen if successful the proposed formation of no fewer principals in administration and management courses for teachers "do not fight for pretending to be managers." The school management pedagogy outside!

Municipalization of education to spend less on education
This educational policy so disastrous for education in countries where it was applied from 90 of the twentieth century, and whose failure is not delivered or the "example Chile "is a resource budget to reduce education spending by the central government, not fill the gap by the municipalities in charge of educational administration. Has nothing to do teaching or the so called "quality" education. It is also an effective means to deregulate most of the teaching profession, eliminating much of the employment relationship with the state. There are few municipalities that naive euphoria welcomed the administration of education, but immediately began to discover that the money offered by the Ministry of Education did not come. When making a decision without knowing a problem, nor is education, can be misled, believing the money for education will come in spurts from the Ministry of Economy and Finance. Let him tell the Chileans who experienced the abandonment of 5 000 municipal schools and privatized by Pinochet. Schools

emblematic dorm
already said in an article devoted to schools emblematic creation means only a demagogic policy, seeking the investment that favors a school population does not even reach 5% of it, appears as if it were a policy of universal education in Peru. The truth is still not enrolled 2 million children and adolescents and 95% of those enrolled, study in poorly equipped schools. Neither more nor less than did the General Odría between 50 and 56 of the last century: a dramatic turnaround on large school, which only got there, leaving intact the educational system in crisis.
The "dorm", whose director is part of the cluster of private education in Peru, is nothing but copies of the colleges imposed by Spain to its colonies, devoted to form Creole colonial elite in their own country. Currently in Spain, whose education is in crisis despite reforms begun in 1992, colleges abound assigned to certain private and some public universities, dedicated to training future college students, at the same university that fosters. Clearly the goal of segmenting the training of children and adolescents in Peru, the populist appeal of the "best students" from the past 3 years of secondary education. It is not hard, knowing the behavior of the APRA, deduct proselytizing objectives through the selection of teachers and the political education of students through the "hall" of Huampani.

investments in school infrastructure
shocked to see that children are used to demagogic propaganda that overstates the construction of new infrastructure in the flagship schools. In this field, Fujimori was higher with their openings daily, so applauded by the media addict and not a few liberal politicians in those years. At least you did not use students for their political ends, as it has done to President Alan García.
Peru requires a new educational infrastructure, not only in a few schools. Required to build and reconstruct the entire national territory. What appears as a "great investment" today is but a tiny proportion of what is required. On the other hand, more spending by involving the new educational infrastructure spending is not permanent, as it is devoted to maintenance, operation of equipment and salaries for workers in education and ongoing training. With the fanfare that plays the APRA government to show its few school buildings, hidden, in fact, abandoning the public school as a whole and the systematic reduction of the national education budget.

And the creation of new universities?
Alarmed by the existence of nearly 100 universities in Peru, number more than those in most populous countries with a higher academic level than ours, some politicians and academics, said nothing when in 1996 the Fujimori government enacted Legislative Decree 882, have begun to challenge the authorization for the operation of new universities. How is it possible that lawmakers of all political forces in the current Parliament of Peru, to agree ("consensus", say) to save the unscrupulous Fujimori Carlos Rafo and others of the same ilk, but they can not even discuss the repeal of the Decree 882, the master key to the privatization of education to continue their march indefinitely?
The APRA, so busy in organizing the illegal sale of land assets, do not remember what his former teammate Luis Alberto Sanchez managed to say in Parliament for the period 1963-1968 when there were proposals for new public universities had warned that not enough qualified teachers or for existing universities, making it incomprehensible to authorize new claim. The desire to get rich with private education and to campaign to the public, is leading to increased proliferation of universities.
What President Garcia is committed to its demagoguery when he talks about improving the quality of education and its "education revolution", with its symptomatic "forgetting" of Decree 882 and the need its repeal. And it can not be otherwise because the neoliberal project to privatize more education is part of their creed.

The "new" curriculum for basic education
Unable to break with the past Fujimori, the APRA government gave the national teaching a curriculum called "integral", whose content is copied, with minor changes, the curriculum of 2005, copy, in turn, of the proceedings since 2001, and this one, playing the "new approach" Fujimori, 1995
With the same constructivist, it is "overcome" the criteria of competence with the objectives, but not clearly define the two concepts, leading to serious confusion in those who develop the curriculum in the classroom, teachers. Teacher training is based on constructivism, whose failure has also been the subject of separate analysis in Latin America.
What else can we ask a government whose Minister of Education is nothing but an employer of private education, an activity that has nothing to do with pedagogy, programming except the powers of his college entrance exams and pension scales to ensure the average profit rate per cycle? In recent years, the real Minister of Education is the President Garcia, who is the that "based" educational policies being applied.
individualism, pragmatism, efficiency and production-are the "large" values \u200b\u200bcontained in the current curriculum since 2009.

If so, what is a revolution in education?
From the standpoint of social science, the term revolution is used to describe deep and comprehensive changes in the social structure of a country and, exceptionally, in the field of science and technology, ie the transformations that occur in human productive forces. A revolution is characterized by its integral or integral markedly. Not just any change, for more important it may be. When social scientists talk about education revolution refer to changes preceded by structural transformations which they depend, so that, without them it would not be possible to understand, as occurred after the triumph of the French Revolution, or after the Revolution 1917 Russian, or Cuban, 1959, just to name a few.
What elements could be supported by the "education revolution" referred to President Garcia? "In the primary-export economy, the GDP growth number with a command of the export of minerals, in trading currency movement generated by supermarkets aliens, money laundering that involves nearly a third of the currency, in the process of the corruption it generates large private fortunes, or lack of science and technology policy in Peru? Nothing more demagogic approach to the flagship schools and colleges and other educational policies mediocre are marching to the "knowledge society."
Not to prolong this text say that theory of the "knowledge society" masks the reality that those who manage the finances, the big industry, big business and services on a global scale are the same ones that dominate research science and technology in the service of the interests of transnational corporations. There is therefore a knowledge society. What you need is a society dominated by the capitalist mode of production, in which intellectual property in the service of neoliberal globalization.
In any case, in the process of transformation of the productive forces from a revolutionary perspective, must develop an educational process to promote such changes. But that can not make a government like Mr. Garcia, who defends, rather, the permanence of capitalism.

Full Head Of Blonde Highlights On Brown Hair

The golden age of cinema. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . / Golden Age of Cinema

. Film
", theater or television? This was the question posed to celebrities in one of the most popular celebrity magazines in the seventies. The response of the sensualist and you know it.

will say that there is no reason to choose . And it's true. But what happens on a Friday evening match at the time that various proposals? To be decided by some, and then winning film almost more to be in a room than the film itself.

Last night, after some time, attended the theater sensuality. It was disappointed with Platonov National Dramatic Center: great scenery, too many actors and actresses, and too many voices shouting and intemperate. The theater is hardly surprising, in this case, gave of themselves than expected, ie not much.

From Television talk another day, which is more varied and crazy. Of film let's say that, today, is experiencing a golden age. Seriously. The sensualist seen in recent years, films sublime, masterful, movingly performed, as never before in over a century of filmmaking.

absence of list of the best films of 2009, which, yes, you have to publish it because it rests true works of art, we have seen in 2010 three wonders in a short space of time.

Fish Tank (Andra Arnold, 2009) collects the best of ways and means to Ken Loach, filmmaker social culprits as real gems Sweet Sixteen, Raining Stones It'sa or Free World ( In a free world, which is the best of the best of the mejorcísimo).


I'm sorry, is bent.


sinning slightly predictable and too focused on conflict, Fish Tank contains a soundtrack that makes us to demonstrate the power of black music (sic) more or less current, which runs from funky seventies until hip hop now going through the r'n'b (pronounced ar an bi, je je) for adolescents.


is true: what p. .. is life!

Fish Tank has the advantage of playing with the ambiguities : of, for example, make a phrase like "Goodbye, Idiot, I hate you" sounds like a farewell full of affection. This is an example of a skill that shines throughout the film. Second

wonder: why we love her madly the French movies? Because it has a more valid interpreters of the planet and because it displays a range that exceeds the films of other countries. Although it has been criticized as topical, the sensualist will see lights everywhere Welcome (Philippe Lioret, 2009), another sample social film with more seasoning of uncertainty.


Oh, ah, at last the original version!
learn

is the seventh art. You know what happens in Calais, off the coast of England, not knowing that no civilized Europe uncivilized practices were held and, finally, that one is not the only one that makes nonsense of indifference. Vincent Lindon

-ex of Caroline of Monaco, is the actor responsible for playing the protagonist. Mr. Lindon makes its showy, brash as anyone. After informed sources tell us that, in reality, this actor is a person retiring with stuttering problems.

Finally, abandoning social film called, we humbly overlooking a gem capital. Argentina, also charged with shooting great stories and great performances ore not, brings us Last summer in Boyita (Julia Solomonoff, 2009).


Oh, thank goodness it's original English. Although

include children and dogs (real threats to the cinema), Last summer in Boyita is a work full of real and terrible poetry, which surrounds the arrival of adolescence and enveloping the complex each.

as few works reflects the weight means to belong to a genre well as support for a human being can give to another. When watching this little work, they try not only to live but also to overcome the inevitable suffering.


Whatever may therefore not be lost by Last summer in Boyita. Do not forget to see Welcome . And do not pass them Fish Tank. What? What have not seen any of the three? What is on the undercard of the city have not lasted more than two or three weeks? What have not even scheduled?

Uf, in a country as poor as cinematic as Spain, it is no surprise that these three works abandoned the download or video-club, you know all the details of crap film in all its sequels. Is clear that this qualifier does not refer to films from the United States, which, over 2009, has given birth to wonderful movies (you'll see the list.)

always be thankful that you recommend me some who have seen lately is the time it is. Or that. at least tell me how attractive they find the three films discussed above. True: not to stand for his sense of humor, but this sensualist rather see dramatic stories : this leaves the theater and, if so, he tells his companion: "Is not that our lives are not so bad ?
