Basque lists comply with parity, but men account for the top
The Basque Institute for Women has conducted a survey of candidates for regional and local elections to see if there is a balanced participation of men and women, as marking the Basque Law 4 / 2005 for the Equality of Women and Men and the Organic Law 3 / 2007 for Effective Equality of Women and Men.
The principle of balanced participation requires that the municipalities are ready to meet a percentage of 60-40 in each section of five seats, meaning that the presence of persons of one sex does not exceed 60 percent nor be less than 40 percent.
And in the lists for general meetings there must be at least 50 percent of women and 40 percent of men in each section of six seats. Parity is met where the law requires, but most women are located in places of difficult access, far from the so-called safe seats. The trends are highlighted in the study are shared by all political parties.
In the case of applications to municipalities, the Organic Law 3 / 2007 applies only to municipalities with more than 3,000 people and mark in each section of five seats on the list has a minimum of 60-40 men and women , ie the presence of persons of one sex does not exceed 60 percent or less than 40 percent.
Moreover, in the case of General Meetings Act applies Vasca 4 / 2005 for the Equality of Women and Men in fixing that a minimum of 50 percent of women in each section of six seats and a minimum of 40 percent of men.
General Meetings
In general, all political parties have included a 50 per cent women in all lists in the first section analyzed and have rarely exceeded the minimum required by law but it must be remembered that, even if 50 percent of women as candidates, leaving no means chosen, since women are located in less accessible places such as the last two of the first tranche that is, away from the so-called safe seats. Applications electoral
General Assembly of 2011, are composed in a balanced way in the first tranche of 6 analyzed. Another issue is to look at what jobs each sex stands as 74.5 percent of sixth place in the nominations for the boards held by women, while the head of the lists is where they have the lowest percentage, fail to 40 percent.
The distribution of women by their position in the electoral roll has been a homogenization over 2007 in all positions. However, women are usually in the last two positions and have the best presence on the heads of list and second place.
Arabic, the distribution of women by their position in the electoral roll has been a significant increase of those who occupy the first place, from 2.1 percent to 11.1 percent. However, almost half of women, 46.7 percent are in the last two posts the first installment of the electoral lists.
In Bizkaia, there is a significant increase in the percentage of women in the sixth spot on the list, with 85 percent, ie there is a total feminization of the sixth. There are about 40 percent of women at the head of the electoral lists, or whatever it is, 8 women out of 20 possible.
In Gipuzkoa in any case women are more than half of the top of the list. In the second place on the other hand, it has been given a significant increase in the number of women who occupy them, going from 40 percent to more than half, with 55 percent. Municipalities
Noting the results of the three Basque provinces taken together is contemplated that the composition of the lists is exactly equal to 40 percent. Virtually all parties teetering on the threshold of parity.
In general, except for the head of list, where the percentage of women is significantly lower, 29.1 percent, the rest of the positions women are slightly above the parity line. There is a clear tendency of men to take further the top of the list, above the rest of the seats. Instead women are second followed by the fourth.
In Aruba, the presence of women as heads of candidates by political party of the 190 shows that only 45 applications analyzed, 23.9 percent are headed by women. No political party is over 35 percent of women in the composition of electoral lists. These lower rates, one third of total applications, down from 40 percent minimum imposed by the Equality Act be explained because the current electoral law affects only 4 of the 51 municipalities of Alava-Araba: Oyón, Amurrio, Llodio and Vitoria-Gasteiz.
In Bizkaia, the presence of women as head of the nominations by political parties shows that in general women occupy 31.8 per cent in the first place (are 144 women of the 453 possible). There is only one, for Lekeitio, in which the 5 political parties considered for the analysis, have chosen a woman as head of the list.
political parties include more women at the head of the electoral lists Bizkaia Bildu PSE-EE, respectively. On the other hand, the position in which most women are, in fact, the only place where there are more women than men is in the second 55.5 percent.
In Gipuzkoa, the lowest rate of women is in the forefront of the candidates, 28.4 percent, and in regard to all political parties. However, in regard to other positions, women have a similar distribution in all political parties. Moreover, all political parties have joint in the composition of electoral lists.
While two-thirds of the municipalities are not required to perform peer list, most lists are. That adds value equality laws as other tractors including of women in the lists.
However, it also highlights another issue, smaller municipalities, not mandatory, there are enough women electoral lead, perhaps precisely because of the less power they have smaller municipalities. Capital
All political parties comply with the law analyzed in the composition of the electoral candidates for election to the various capitals. However, most applications in the three capitals, including 2 women in the span of 5 posts, ie the minimum number of women imposed by law, which explains why it has decreased the number of women holding leading positions in three of the five games.
In fact, few women are at the top of the lists of electoral candidates Basque capital, the current mayor as a whole, repeated as the head of their party list. Thus, there are only two candidates with women at the top of the lists of possible 15, for Aralar for Donostia-San Sebastian and the other People's Party for Bilbao.
Conversely, if you look at the second place, this is the one with the highest rate of women who compose it, with 60 percent, or whatever it is, 9 of the 15 possible candidates.
Mayors
Of the 251 existing municipalities of the three Basque Provinces, 23 women repeat at the top of their games against the 97 men who repeat mayors at the helm. On the other hand, 20 mayors give way to men as heads of list, while 23 mayors men give way to women as candidates for mayor.
Finally, 8 mayors are replaced by other women in their respective parties. The remaining 80 municipalities are men that lead to other men or municipalities not be reached.

The turtle in the pole
A young man is walking around the village square and decides take a break.
He sits on a bench ... next there is a man older and, of course, begin to talk about the country, government, and finally on the Legislators and the like.
Mr. Young tells:
- "You know -
" some lawmakers and politicians are like a turtle on a post "
After a short time, the young man replied:
-" do not quite understand the analogy ... What does that mean, sir? "
Then the Lord explained
" If you walk through the countryside and see a turtle on top of a fencepost, balancing "
What's wrong?
Viewing the face of misunderstanding of the young, continues with his explanation:
- First: Do not understand how it got there.
- Second: You can not believe I'm there.
- Third: You know you could not have gone there alone.
- Fourth: Make sure that it should not be there.
- Fifth: You will be aware that it will not do anything useful while you are there.
"So the only sensible course would help her down."

We ask us to trust them, but they only rely on the free market, deregulation of the market (the workers), and privatize everything that give benefits.
The other cat was found with a crisis that first denied and then gave us full, a crisis that came too great, with some markets that would not let him Domir and to please the markets, began a series of reform in the same direction to the detriment of mice:
It is high time that the mice know that we are mice, which can never become cats. Take a few minutes and think who have been with us and others have done for us, and then vote for plenty of reasons.

The indignant and outraged react

15M On Sunday hundreds of thousands of people, overwhelmingly youth, took to the streets.
What's 15 was a social movement properly speaking. A group of young people, but nly s launched an initiative through social networks. Its simple goal, to express the satiety the dictatorship of banks, financial terrorism and the actions of both governments fearful and limping to the economic powers, as against the plans of "adjustment, austerity and restraint d public expenditure", ie projects and facts s to pay for the crisis to classes in favor of financial powers.
Instead of rescuing people, families, is bailing out banks and lowering or eliminating taxes paid by the rich, in the false belief that must be saved as the financial system of this way back to create jobs and create wealth to support the owners. Fallacy is that it is failing miserably, which is still pissed more.
is true regarding missing but also that people are not stupid. Sometimes looking for the enemy in the dark because they feel cheated, used and exploited known. Well, the solution is not putting the power in the hands of the most genuine representatives of capitalism and social predation in favor of big business, but in building Poder Ciudadano, ie to empower citizens and be with her. No good here and now getting right with Booty-and their desire for loot and citizenship, and the poor, the stops and precarious: it is impossible. We must choose: the top or the bottom, with the popular classes, with small and small entrepreneurs ... or speculators. The
May 15, the cry of Real Democracy NOW! has been nothing but the fruit of a people, few but determined, which have had only the support of associations and NGOs, the humble but firm support of ATTAC, or the officers of convergence, or Socialism 21, including associations as well as social activists and activists of the left to individual title, as people more organized and experienced. But without conditions and fully accept the intention to achieve, as it has been very broad mobilization, plural and open to any and all indignant and outraged.
myopia has been in any sector of the radical left, small but cult, which has not seen the need to support this. Well, you were wrong and against that position, veterans and veteran fighters union, social and socialism on the left and Republican have recognized that not only was good, but mandatory DRY support and be on 15 May. Not cashing in, they will never be, but because it was a moral imperative and an act of civic engagement. Also to be fair, this movement has managed to get to the street, peacefully and happily, hundreds of thousands of people all over the kingdom of Spain.
has been a movement that, even without knowing clearly their sponsors, engages with the tradition of republican thought regeneration and English. To the best of the legacy of the social republic, workers of all kinds, after reporting to both the bank and financier oligarchy that suffer, as the political capitulation in front of her and the neo-despotism that invades us.
has emerged a new way of doing and understanding politics. This movement is, so not too sought, related to the Tunisian and that he should not be to escape and now have political responsibilities in all areas. It is a clear wake-up call and demand for them.
important thing begins now, civic and social achieve convergence to find another solution to the crisis of capitalism and establishing new values freedom, equality and justice for speculation and predatory neoliberal is now our demand. We must restore the sovereignty of the people against the dictatorship of the market. City road to power. We can be all and all we have done our bit proud of the result and now support the Puerta del Sol
There are new times and new strength in Europe. To note the powerful, the response of the public alike is self-organizing.

A generation says goodbye
Manuel Cruz
Manuel Cruz
Social Democracy has finally Applied Management become the conservative designs. Calling "markets" to the formerly called "capitalism" does the same as criticizing the right.
As is well easy to see, when a group of people of a certain age meet any occasion and comes into the conversation the topic of today's youth, more often is that recurrence of a a series of topics that generally affect the life of that apathy, the indifference of younger generations to the public or their lack of interest in anything else other than their material or their own personal interest topics that in any case, reveal a vast distance and strangeness to the young by those who support them.
seems clear that the logic with which our young people are part of one's own life and beyond, history has changed radically. On one occasion, referring to an undergraduate class that the idea that, basically, the role of certain social or political events is to be the symbolic reference, imaginary, an entire generation, which is recognized as such precisely for his role in these events, I happened to ask the students what this event was to them that they had scored, which believed can be defined, reflecting better time to break into the world felt. I confess that what really caught my attention was the declaration of a student, who, without a doubt, the event had marked a radical change in his life and that of his generation was the appearance of flat rate Internet access.
The aforementioned student knew perfectly well that this, like any other technological innovation, was a purely formal element, which can be made to serve quite antagonistic causes vehicular or content of very different types. But not seem to mind. First, because he believed finding emergency of forms of sociality (in particular, via social networks) unpublished so far and, to that extent, certainly capable of enabling new ways of relating between people. But above all, secondly, because the most important of their displacement of perspective was so radical challenging inherited mechanisms, basically, the stories about construction-generational epic. And he did it by clearing the assumption according to which participation in an exemplary event historically legitimate for some reason a generation, to the extent that becomes a model or reference for the future, of course precisely the generation of their elders has contributed to a decisive blow. Because
does not appear that members of the latter, she did so allegedly idealistic and concerned about building a fairer world, are able to provide too many lessons to anyone. By way of illustration hasty: members of the same more politically conscious (and, consequently, either left, right-wingers were all apolitical), which so-and-railed so vehemently to social democracy because, they say, no was anything other than the manager of capitalism in times of crisis, had no major problem in youth abandon their radical beliefs and update them embracing positions the social reformer when this became hegemonic progressive political force. Now whistling, staring at the ceiling, while attending the show to see how, without other changes than just replacing the word "capitalism" with the word "markets", what was once criticized is exactly what they seem to be doing at this moment own.
With the unique and little consolation to think that the heirs of those who formulated as ruthless criticism (which was, remember, the Communists) nobody would have run better fortune, abandoned by his former electorate, unable to manage increasing social despair, paralyzed by what you see, before the dilemma of addressing the complaints, if not torn-cries of the poor or the Franciscans trills of sustainability (I avoid referring, not to distract the attention of any reader of this paper, to the unwavering attention that surprisingly left of the left continues to provide spectacles of nationalism, so often effective ideological trinket right).
This being undoubtedly the worst, we should not fail to note another aspect, perhaps less obvious but no less important, in which the self-styled reformist or social-democratic left also seems to have ended up becoming manager applied the conservative designs. I referring to the plane of ideas. After decades (at least, from Daniel Bell) by repeating the last sectors of the thesis as the ideologies that had come to an end, that the distinction between right and left had been overtaken by the evolution of society itself or that the grand narratives of emancipation and any utopian proposals had stopped making sense, thesis systematically all replication from the progressive base of emphasizing the need for policy imprescriptible with the disinherited (is, ultimately, the only tool at your fingertips for the transformation of existing), now it seems that social democracy have also endorsed this respect the conservative thesis that both reviled.
Thus, they were supporters of the alleged third way Labour who had, as if a revolution in ideas is involved, as the thesis that there are no problems right and left, but solutions of either sign . And it was one of our most prestigious progressive leaders who welcomed the Chinese proverb "white cat, black cat, what matters is it catches mice" to illustrate his conviction that the most important criterion by which to govern a politician in the performance of their business, above all other related values \u200b\u200bor ideology, is effectiveness. It is true that at certain times, especially during election campaigns, politicians are often left feint as if he still enjoyed some theoretical discourse itself, specifically, with which to punish his adversary but as soon as they are encouraged to achieve it, as red that leaves your lips are fuzzy expressions like "social cohesion" and the like ("values \u200b\u200bof achievement, for example), expressions that repeat like a mantra as soon as they placed a microphone nearby. In short, although he was not right to discuss the copyright of the thesis of the end of ideologies, we must recognize that even in terms of ideas, the Social Democrats have been the most current that effective managers.
Let me end this text referring to a fact, that perhaps some reader may seem merely anecdotal (and think that I bring him here by mere professional bias), but it seems to me quite revealing of the contradictions to which I I have been referring to here. Our ministerial authorities, regional and general academic, formed the overwhelming majority of former tenured teachers are not the seventies and eighties (the famous PNN), have been implementing for years in English University policies that are resulting in some high levels of insecurity among teachers younger, not to mention the difficulties that those authorities put the possibility of new hires, routinely held back on the ground, almost as sacred as the market, referred to above-zero cost, now reformulated as the crisis. Result? The bloody paradox that within no long time will in many English universities as teachers with precarious contracts PNN had for almost 30 years.
The problem, as can be seen, not that we are a plug for the next generation: the problem is that we left empty the bottle. On the day that those who come after us will take the floor to make broth.

Now whistling, staring at the ceiling, while attending the show to see how, without other changes than just replacing the word "capitalism" with the word "markets", what was once criticized is exactly what they seem to be doing at this moment own.
With the unique and little consolation to think that the heirs of those who formulated as ruthless criticism (which was, remember, the Communists) nobody would have run better fortune, abandoned by his former electorate, unable to manage increasing social despair, paralyzed by what you see, before the dilemma of addressing the complaints, if not torn-cries of the poor or the Franciscans trills of sustainability (I avoid referring, not to distract the attention of any reader of this paper, to the unwavering attention that surprisingly left of the left continues to provide spectacles of nationalism, so often effective ideological trinket right).
This being undoubtedly the worst, we should not fail to note another aspect, perhaps less obvious but no less important, in which the self-styled reformist or social-democratic left also seems to have ended up becoming manager applied the conservative designs. I referring to the plane of ideas. After decades (at least, from Daniel Bell) by repeating the last sectors of the thesis as the ideologies that had come to an end, that the distinction between right and left had been overtaken by the evolution of society itself or that the grand narratives of emancipation and any utopian proposals had stopped making sense, thesis systematically all replication from the progressive base of emphasizing the need for policy imprescriptible with the disinherited (is, ultimately, the only tool at your fingertips for the transformation of existing), now it seems that social democracy have also endorsed this respect the conservative thesis that both reviled.
Thus, they were supporters of the alleged third way Labour who had, as if a revolution in ideas is involved, as the thesis that there are no problems right and left, but solutions of either sign . And it was one of our most prestigious progressive leaders who welcomed the Chinese proverb "white cat, black cat, what matters is it catches mice" to illustrate his conviction that the most important criterion by which to govern a politician in the performance of their business, above all other related values \u200b\u200bor ideology, is effectiveness. It is true that at certain times, especially during election campaigns, politicians are often left feint as if he still enjoyed some theoretical discourse itself, specifically, with which to punish his adversary but as soon as they are encouraged to achieve it, as red that leaves your lips are fuzzy expressions like "social cohesion" and the like ("values \u200b\u200bof achievement, for example), expressions that repeat like a mantra as soon as they placed a microphone nearby. In short, although he was not right to discuss the copyright of the thesis of the end of ideologies, we must recognize that even in terms of ideas, the Social Democrats have been the most current that effective managers.
Let me end this text referring to a fact, that perhaps some reader may seem merely anecdotal (and think that I bring him here by mere professional bias), but it seems to me quite revealing of the contradictions to which I I have been referring to here. Our ministerial authorities, regional and general academic, formed the overwhelming majority of former tenured teachers are not the seventies and eighties (the famous PNN), have been implementing for years in English University policies that are resulting in some high levels of insecurity among teachers younger, not to mention the difficulties that those authorities put the possibility of new hires, routinely held back on the ground, almost as sacred as the market, referred to above-zero cost, now reformulated as the crisis. Result? The bloody paradox that within no long time will in many English universities as teachers with precarious contracts PNN had for almost 30 years.
The problem, as can be seen, not that we are a plug for the next generation: the problem is that we left empty the bottle. On the day that those who come after us will take the floor to make broth.

How Goldman Sachs caused the current food crisis
Frederick Kaufman
Frederick Kaufman
appetites not blame the United States, the rise in oil prices or genetically modified crops high food prices. Wall Street is to blame. The analyst Frederick Kaufman writes in the prestigious U.S. magazine Foreign Policy.
The supply and demand certainly matter. But there is another reason why the food around the world have become so expensive: the greed of Wall Street.
only had the brilliant minds of Goldman Sachs fell into account this simple truth: nothing is more valuable than our daily bread. And where there is value, no money. In 1991, Goldman's bankers, led by his prophetic President Gary Cohn, came up with a new type of investment product, a financial derivative that indiciario followed up to 24 commodities, from metals precious energy to coffee, cocoa, cattle, corn, hogs, soybeans and wheat. It weighted the investment value of each element, mixed and shuffled the parties, and reduced what had been a complicated set of real things to a mathematical formula, which will henceforth be known as Commodities Index Goldman Sachs (GSCI) .
For a decade, the GSCI remained a relatively static investment vehicle, because the bankers were more concerned about the risk and collateralized debt than by the things that could be planted or harvested. Then in 1999, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission [Commission for Trade Commodity Futures] deregulated the futures markets. Suddenly, banks could take, at will, positions in grain markets, before, since the Great Depression, only accessible to those who really had something to do with the production of our food.
Big changes were coming to the bags of grain from Chicago, Minneapolis and Kansas City, which for 150 years had helped to moderate the ups and downs of global food prices. Farming may seem bucolic, but it is an industry inherently unstable, subject to the vicissitudes of weather, disease and disasters. The trading system de futur grain you came after the American Civil War led by the founders of Archer Daniels Midland, General Mills and Pillsbury, and helped establish the U.S. as a financial giant would end up beating Europe. Grain markets also protect the farmers and millers of the risks inherent in their profession. The basic idea was the "forward contract" means an agreement between sellers and buyers of wheat to put a reasonable price even before planting. Thus, the "future" of grains contributing to stabilize the price of a loaf of bread at the bakery, or later in the supermarket- while allowing farmers to protect themselves against bad times and invest in their farms and businesses. Result: In the course of the twentieth century, the real price of wheat was reduced (in spite of a setback or two, especially in the inflationary spiral of the decade of the 70), stimulating the development of U.S. agribusiness. After the Second World War, the United States routinely produce surplus grain, which became an essential element of their political strategies, economic and humanitarian, and he stops for granted that U.S. grain to feed millions of hungry people around the world.
Futures markets traditionally included two types of players. On one side were farmers, millers, wholesalers, market players have a real interest in physical and wheat. This group includes not only producers of corn in Iowa or wheat producers in Nebraska, but also to large multinational companies such as Pizza Hut, Kraft, Nestle, Sara Lee, Tyson Foods and McDonald's, whose shares on the New York Stock Exchange up and fall, according to his ability to take food at competitive prices to the windows of cars people and supermarket shelves. These market participants are called third parties in good faith, because I really need to buy and sell grain.
On the other hand, we have to speculator. The speculator does not produce or consume corn, soy or wheat, nor has a place to store 20 tons of cereals that could buy at one time. Speculators make money through the traditional market behavior: buy low and sell high. And the physical players in the future of the grains are generally welcoming traditional speculators of the market, as their constant orders and sales generate cash and offered to bona fide third parties a way to manage risk to allow them to sell and buy at your leisure.
But Goldman index perverted the symmetry of this system. The GSCI does not care about long-standing patterns compra-venta/venta-compra. This new derivative was made to buy commodities, and just shop. On the basis of this strategy that seeks only long positions (or buying futures) was intended to transform a commodity investment (formerly the competence of specialists) into something that looked a lot like an investment in shares: asset class in which anyone could make their money and let it accumulate for decades (such as buying General Electric or Apple). When the commodity markets began to resemble the stock market, banks would get new cash flows. But the strategy was flawed, at least from the point of view for those of us who eat: the GSCI not include a mechanism to sell the goods.
This imbalance undermines the fabric received from the commodity markets, the bankers need to buy and keep buying, regardless of price. Each time he approached the date of expiry of a futures contract on an index of commodities, banks were forced to "roll" their portfolios of billions of dollars in purchase orders to the following futures contract for the following two or three months. And just as the deflationary impact of "bridge" position was not part of the strategy of the GSCI, professional traders of grain could make a big deal anticipating the inevitable fluctuations that cause these "shot." "I make my living with dumb money," he said commodities trader to Businessweek Emil Van Essen last year. Commodity brokers employed by banks, which had created index funds for commodities, were brimming with happiness.
bankers recognize a good system when they see it, and dozens of speculators followed the example of Goldman and joined the game of commodity index, including Barclays, Deutsche Bank, Pimco, JP Morgan Chase, AIG, Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers, minimal as only some of the sellers of funds commodity index. He had set the stage for inflation in food prices that, over time, taken by surprise at some of the largest mills, processors and retailers in the U.S. and worldwide impact.
Money talks. Since the technology bubble burst in 2000, has increased by 50 times the index fund investment in commodities. To put the phenomenon in real terms: in 2003, the market for commodity futures had a volume of only 13 billion dollars. But when the global financial crisis routed to investors in early 2008, and given that their dollars pounds and euros were no reliable destination, commodity-and particularly, food-appeared and suddenness as the last best refuge of cash from hedge funds, pension funds and SWFs. "There were people who had no idea what they were commodities, but even so, they bought," said an analyst with the Department of Agriculture of the United States. In the first 55 days of 2008, speculators poured 55 billion U.S. dollars in the commodities markets, and in July, turned over 318 billion U.S. dollars in the market. Since then, food price inflation remains stable.
And the money flowed, and the bankers had already prepared a new casino from food. With prices of oil and gas (the dominant products of index funds) in head, new investment products markets burned all other commodities index, causing a problem already well known to those versed in history of tulips, dotcoms and real estate flights: a bubble of food. The hard red spring wheat, which usually sells 4 to $ 6 per bushel of 60 pounds, broke all records by reaching the $ 25 future. And so, between 2005 and 2008, World food prices rose 80 percent, and rising. "We've never seen so much investment capital into commodity markets," said Keith Kendell, president of the National Grain and Feed. "There is no doubt that there has been speculation." In a recently published note, Olivier De Schutter, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food in 2008 concluded that "a significant part of the rise in the price [of food] was due to the emergence of a bubble speculative. "
What was happening in the grain market was not the result of "speculation" in the traditional sense to buy low and sell high. Today, along with the cumulative index, the GSCI Standard & Poor's offers 219 different index tickers, and investors may turn their systems Bloomberg and bet on whatever they want, from palladium to soybean oil, biofuel or livestock. But the rise of speculative opportunities in grains, edible oil and cattle markets has created a vicious circle. The greater the price of foodstuffs, more money the bankers and more prices increase. In fact, between 2003 and 2008, the volume of speculation from index funds increased by 1,900%! "What we are experiencing is a demand shock resulting from a new category of participant in the futures market, "said Michael Masters, Manager of Masters Capital Management, before the U.S. Congress in the middle of the 2008 food crisis.
The result of the entry of Wall Street in grain markets, cattle feed and has had tremendous impact on world food production and distribution systems. Now the world's food supply not only has to face supply constraints and increases in demand for grain but this mechanism spurious artificial increase in grain prices created by the investment bank. Result: The imaginary wheat dominates the price of wheat real, since there are now four speculators for every third party in good faith (traditionally, it was only a fifth of the market).
Today, bankers and brokers are at the top of the food chain: the system are carnivores, predators of the world and everything in it. At the base, the farmers suffered, for him, the grain price increase should have been a fluke, but speculation has also created spikes in the prices of everything you need for farmers to produce grain, from seed to fertilizer, through the diesel. Immediately above them, the consumers. The average American who spends about 8 to 12 percent of their weekly salary on food, felt no immediate crisis. But for the nearly 2 billion people worldwide who spend more than 50 percent of their income on food, the effects have been devastating: 250 million people swelled the ranks of the hungry in 2008, which Food insecurity was beating exceeded one billion people, a figure unprecedented in history.
What is the solution? The last time I visited the Minneapolis Grain Exchange, asked a handful of wheat brokers what would happen if the U.S. government prohibiting investment banks transactions exclusively for the purchase of foodstuffs. His reaction: laughter. A phone call to a third party in good faith as Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland and a secret exchange of assets, and participation of a bank in the futures market, it is indistinguishable from that of an international buyer of wheat. I asked what would happen if the government bans all products only in long? Again, laughter. Problem solved with one phone call, this time to a commercial office in London or Hong Kong: the emerging markets of food products have reached proportions supra, and are beyond the reach of the law. Volatility in
food markets have also destroyed what could have been a great opportunity for global cooperation. The higher cost of corn, soybeans, rice or wheat, the greater should be the efforts made by the world's nations to cooperate among them to ensure that grain-importing countries do not cause infections increasingly dramatic inflation and political unrest. Instead, countries have responded with policies of "me first", from export bans and hoarding neo-mercantilist appropriation of land in Africa. And the efforts of committed activists and international agencies to curb speculation grain have not accomplished anything. The truth is that index funds continue to thrive, and bankers pocketing the profits while the poor of the world teeter on the brink of starvation.

remuneration policies of financial institutions with their managers are still out in the same direction tion. Bonuses for top executives are still the order of the day as a way to reward your persistence and good management in the group, while for unskilled workers are calling for more restraint on wages than ever before with the argument that the financial business is very bad in Spain and everyone has to tighten their belts.
Proof of this was yesterday's Banco Santander (although not alone), announced an incentive plan for senior managers (up to 330 million this year for the 250 highest and other 155 million for the 6,500 mid-range), while the employer's bank (which is part highlighted) defends the wage freeze for two years.

Cayo Lara proposes to 10,000 million to the Church are created 400,000 jobs
Until now, the fight against the Catholic Church had not penetrated too far into the campaign of Izquierda Unida. Although the issue was not gone, of course. But today in Alicante, where he arrived last night following the election caravan federal coordinator throughout Spain, the issue promises. Lara fell noticed the calculations made by Lay Europe, showing that bishops receive 10,000 million a year from public coffers, as had public today.
lot of money you can have another destination. IU leader was asking for a press conference with the c andidata a la Generalitat Valenciana, Marga Sanz, el cabeza de lista a la alcaldía, Miguel Ángel Pavón, y la número dos de la provincia a Les Corts, Esther López Barceló. ¿Cuál es? Que con esos 10.000 millones se creen desde las administraciones públicas 400.000 puestos de trabajo.
La estimación, hecha muy a vuela pluma, como reconoció Lara, es sencilla, partiendo de un salario de 25.000 euros por persona. En esos 400.000 puestos se incluirían todos aquellos trabajadores de la escuela concertada o que desempeñan su labor para la Iglesia. "Una cosa son las ayudas a la Iglesia y otra que se financien hasta las campañas de los obispos en contra de los derechos y libertades aprobados en laws, "complained the coordinator, who warned the government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero for having closed the debate for reform of the Organic Law on Religious Freedom. We must regain the matter, he said, to" go to pray "to parishes and "learn" to school. Only then will the "Establishment Clause of the state" who preaches Article 16 of the Constitution "would be a definite fact."
Chacón, "Minister of War Lara
also addressed the rally the PSOE today. ... The star Carme Chacón and José María Barreda beginningless. The head of IU mocked the sense of "equality" for the PSOE. "It is incomprehensible that the policy of equality means to them that women are ministers of war and put us in the war in Afghanistan, we do not know yet what we do there, and Libya." Francisco Camps
could not miss. Especially when, on Sunday, the president of the Generalitat was primed to Zapatero, saying that his grandfather, shot in 1936 by staying true to the Republic, not broadcast "or tenderness or affection." "Camps, the largest collection of costumes, has no moral or political authority to dishonor of so many thousands of people buried in the gutter-censored Lara. It is an indignity." Sanz completed his words: "It's a lack of respect for who gave their lives for freedom and democracy we have today. "coordinator of the País Valencià Esquerra Unida candidate and reiterated that the community" does not deserve "a president" accused ", that can sit on the bench with the leaders Gürtel the plot, nor has the "authority" to speak of the repressed by the dictatorship. "You should think about retiring from politics," he said.
more in key electoral Sanz defended public education, as presented EUPV "the only force capable of breaking the PSOE-PP bipartisanship" and which stands as the bulwark against "social cuts and labor and environmental unsustainability." as the "guarantee of consistency and reliability "of the political left. A message also fighting against their direct competitors in the Valencian Country, the coalition leading Compromís Enric Morera and Mónica Oltra. To Sanz, the" efforts "of their training is to print" a shift social, ethical and political regeneration "in the community.

Where To Find Black Shoestring Licorice
Glencore plays with hunger in the world. And your bank, "played with Glencore? Cayo
ALEX EVANS, professor at the University of New York, collaborations opens Millions of 3,500 talking about the private responsibility in the public calamity of food prices. One issue that confirms our report a few days ago, and the like, as it affects these days to Barclays Bank.
Finally, activists have found the villain they were looking into the matter of speculation and food prices. Seeing them line up and prepare for battle may remind some of the air cavalry scene in Apocalypse Now.
Throughout the rollercoaster that have become food prices in recent years, one of the most contentious issues was the role of financial speculators in the rise in prices or in generating higher levels of volatility. Some politicians (especially the French, and if you do not see the agenda of the G20 this year) have seized the fleeting opportunity to paint the financial sectors as the bad guy. Campaign groups such as the World Development Movement have also been aupado this thesis. Unfortunately, the truth is that most of the evidence is far from conclusive. Homi Kharas, the Brookings Institute, puts it this way:
"Almost all serious studies reach the same conclusion: the volatility inherent in speculation causes food markets, not vice versa."
Similarly, when the International Food Policy Research Institute examined the subject, his conclusions were not clear-cut: as far as you arrived is to say that speculative activities "could have had an influence" in raising prices. The broad consensus among independent analysts is that financial speculation may have added some "foam" on the market, and possibly result in additional volatility in the margins, but it is far from being the main cause of price inflation food or volatility.
Are you an NGO, this news is disappointing, because speculators and intermediaries Financial statements are a great villain for a campaign. But now he has appeared an interesting development.
In recent weeks, the commodities trading firm Glencore, based in Switzerland, has been preparing for an IPO through a public offering. While it is likely that you have not ever heard of this company (has some allergy to advertising), it is one of the great players in this market. With revenues last year amounted to 145,000 million dollars and expected stock of 73,000 capitalación billion after the stock offering, Glencore will become more public offering important that has seen the London Stock Exchange, and upon completion will make it one of the largest companies in the FTSE 100 [index of the London Stock Exchange].
a couple of weeks ago, UBS revealed Glencore, one of the banks guaranteeing the issuance of shares, which had made a monumental speculative bets on rising prices of wheat and maize during the early stages of drought Russian last summer (which in many ways, was the starting signal for the current upsurge in prices after the financial crisis). What then? This is the key point, as expressed by the Financial Times in its edition of April 25:
"While bet rising prices, trade 'senior' in the Swiss-based company publicly urged Russia to impose a ban on grain exports. Moscow reacted within days, triggering a 'race of grain'. "
If this is true, then the story is completely different. Because there may be doubts about the effect of speculation on inflation or price spikes, but no one has any doubt about the harmful result of export restrictions. At the height of the escalation of 2008, the vetoes of exports was the main general discomfort became simple panic, sending prices to record highs in a vicious circle. And the Russian veto on exports last summer ignited the fuse of a new escalation of prices, which have reached new records and have trampled on the way to about one billion people worldwide.
Then you are guilty? This is the key paragraph of a story published by Glencore on 3 August: "In our opinion, the government [Russia] has every reason to stop all exports."
Is this "urge", as suggested by the FT? I do not think that is an unreasonable charge. Glencore is a major player in commodities markets. Their analysis are heard and used as a basis for move in the markets, even by governments. And the fact that until now have not made public its long-term position on wheat at that time is suspect at best. At worst it looks like a direct manipulation of the markets that bill is paid by the world's hungry. Glencore is now saying that the note was only the personal views of its author, not a formal position of the company. Also argues that vetoes Russian exports "not particularly helpful to your business", as the grain they had bought was stalled by the embargo, forcing them to buy grain elsewhere, at higher prices, to meet their obligations.
But it is unlikely that arguments like these weigh much against the activists (and note that the response of Glencore does not say that in fact losing money). And with Glencore about to get under the spotlight because of its gone public, and speculation and export restriction on the agenda of the G20 in 2011, it is hard to believe that there is little opportunity to campaign ...

He asked voters to reflect this issue.
Lara gave a press conference in the city of Valladolid next to the candidate for mayor, Manuel Saravia, and candidate for President of the Junta de Castilla y León, José María González, and stressed the importance of those who doubt its vote. "It is doubtful especially people who gave a vote for a leftist party, presumably left to consider, at their discretion and with reason, that has no political left and moved away from their program," he said.
They were told to "not be wrong if you vote for IU" and, therefore, said that "we sincerely propose what is our alternative approach to their problems, which exists and which we have been working for more than two years , since the beginning of the crisis ".
He warned that the training that goes "the best campaign is the one that does not exist" because "in it makes us invisible. It would be better to convene elections and vote the next day, "among other things because it would" save money. " Explained

Labeled a "surprising" that so many people in Spain can vote for a party that has made a "huge blot on the country 'case Gürtel', with corruption." Just for democratic citizenship should be prevented from political groups or individuals who have these spots are rulers. "
As for the PSOE, was convinced that you will lose part of their electorate because "it has earned" to make the economic policy of the PP, which throughout the campaign will try to convey IU leftist voters they feel "disappointed."
In economic matters, assessed that the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 0.2 percent met hours before is a fact that "by itself invalidate the opinion and the government's growth forecast, which believes that" does not give a "except when carrying out cuts to workers.

"Cinema and violence against women"
Foundation May 1 has just published the paper on "Film and violence against women. Reflections and materials for social intervention, which has been coordinated by Trinity Trojan Yolanda Núñez Domínguez Rodríguez, and who also participated Virginia Guarinos Galán, Teresa Vera Balance, Roberto Martinez and Lucia Sell-Trujillo Pecino.
The present paper, part of that gender violence is one of the most dramatic and urgent has to confront today's society. Despite the legal initiatives launched in recent years, victims of violence continue to increase, which shows that by themselves are not being enough. Therefore, the need for further research into the causes, characteristics and consequences of gender violence from the field of research, and to propose tools and instruments to raise awareness and eradicate such violence from and in all areas.
At this point, it is clear the important socializing power of the media, its training capacity and their influence in shaping the social imaginary. The media contribute to the construction of identities and influence their own behavior and values \u200b\u200bof people. They are powerful tools for the transmission and sustenance of all forms of inequality and violence and to achieve social changes necessary for gender equality. This paper examines the ways in which violence occurs in film and how it affects learning, while having a vocation as a methodological tool for raising awareness about child abuse and social intervention.
Cinema, like other media, is a representation of social reality and therefore reinforces the inequality between the sexes. The film shows the role that, at all times and places, exercised or is attributed to women in society. Different roles (temporal, geographical, cultural, social, etc.) With a common characteristic: the subordination of women and violence towards them.
The last idea who sign this paper is to be a re-creation work and, therefore, that the people who have in their hands can include questions, ideas, visions, ... all movies are not possible or are all commented out and not included or have not been mentioned for not leaving a closed material. This work has an open mind, creative ... Without going any further, it is not cited the film "The Virgin Suicides" by Sofia Coppola. This film portrays the family consisting of a high school teacher, his strict and rigid wife and five daughters.
There is a subtle point of violence in the film "Road" by Javier Fesser. It presents a manipulative mother who may have an brutal violence but is almost imperceptible.
That's the idea. Close but not quite the opposite. Make a proposal to invite reflection, action and re-creation of community intervention. And it can not be otherwise given that all writers are engaged in this work that, for intervention in the community.
That is the case of Dr. Guarino (belonging to the Department of Audiovisual Communication, Advertising and Literature at the University of Seville) and Dr. Vera (belonging to the Department of Journalism at the University of Málaga). Both do research with an emphasis on the media themselves and in their narratives. But also becomes necessary (for additional) eyes of Drs. Núñez, Trojan and Sell and Dr. Martinez Pecino. They do research and he emphasis on the very people and groups who consume media. They and it belong to the Department of Social Psychology at the University of Seville.
The paper presented here, part of this consideration of film as a fundamental tool in the transmission and learning of values \u200b\u200band how they influence people's behavior, and reflects on the role of cinema as a "reveal" of ill-treatment women, either through their own film plots, either from the place where women are relegated to the cinema.

How I Know If I Have Lice
Ecologists in Action and Greenpeace asked the precautionary closure of the landfill in Nerva Befesa
The surprise SEPRONA Befesa operators and opens an act of infringement for alleged illegal dumping
Ecologists in Action organizations and Greenpeace called on the Government of Andalusia to provisionally close Befesa facilities (Abengoa) in Nerva after learning that the SEPRONA (Service Nature Protection of the Civil Guard) is leaving with a record of alleged infringement by illegal dumping into the river Tinto. This irregularity is added to the long list of business accumulating Befesa in Huelva and in particular on the soles of Nerva.
Among them are Notably, the three serious penalties imposed on Befesa by the Ministry of Labour due to the poor condition of its facilities in Palos de la Frontera, and the fire at the landfill Nerva 15th of April. Both in less than a month.
According to the Civil Guard information contained in the media, agents found a bomb Seprona was leachate pouring streams directly to the Canary and Windy, Tinto basin. Furthermore, "very hard" might be an accidental spillage, as the Civil Guard discovered the mechanism by which Befesa operators alleviating the toxic water was accumulated in the vessels of the dump directly into the channel. These discharges directly affect the Red River, classified as a Site of Community Interest by the European Union as well as being protected landscape.
"Rio Tinto are turning toxic in a toilet," said Juan Romero, Ecologists in Action, Huelva "They are destroying a unique environment that is also rather scientific research for NASA, "
SEPRONA
This report comes at the time of Ecologists in Action and Greenpeace are studying the possible irregular treatment of 25,000 tons of hazardous waste Italians who have come to the landfill from the decontamination of an industrial area close to Milan. All information on this case has already been submitted to the European Commission, which is analyzed, and the Ombudsman of Andalusia.
"If after the termination of the Andalusian SEPRONA continue to do nothing, you are clearly abandoning its responsibility to protect human health and the environment," said Sara del Río, responsible for the contamination of Greenpeace campaign. "If Befesa comply with the conditions of approval, the Board should immediately withdraw"

Sample Of Commercial Offer
Our hands
Eduardo Galeano
In the unequal battle against fear, in that fight each pound each day, what serious Memory us without dignity?.
The world is suffering an alarming loss of prestige of dignity. The unworthy, who are sent in the world, say they somo prehistoric angry, nostalgic, romantic, deniers of reality.
But do not real women and men who have fought and fight to change reality, those who have believed and believe that reality requires obedience?
We have come to tell you it was worth. The reality is real because it invites us to change and not because it forces us to accept it. She opens up spaces of freedom and not necessarily locks us into the cages of doom. The reality is a challenge, we are not condemned to choose between the same and the same.
