HUGO CHAVEZ IS ILL

 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez suffered more complications associated with respiratory infections who beat fourth after cancer surgery Cuba, his vice-president, said in a broadcast gloomy Sunday.
Vice President, Nicolas Maduro, flew to Cuba to visit Chavez in hospital as fears supporters fell ill 58 years, the Socialist leader, who does not appear in public or heard three weeks.Chavez has already suffered unexpected bleeding caused by the operation of six hours on December 11th for a unique form of cancer in the pelvis. Officials said the doctors had to fight against respiratory infections.
"A few minutes ago, we were with President Chavez. Welcomed us and talked about these complications," said Maduro in the air, adding a third series of complications due to a respiratory infection.
"Because of his physical and spiritual strength, the commander Chavez facing this difficult situation."
Maduro, surrounded by Cilia Flores, his wife, the attorney general's daughter Rosa Virginia Chavez and her husband, Jorge Arreaza science, said he is in Havana, while Chavez has changed state.
He said Chavez remained state "difficult" - a term that has been used since the day after the operation, when he warned Venezuelans to prepare for hard times, and urged them to keep the president in their prayers.
"We hope that the avalanche of love and solidarity with Comandante Chavez, with his enormous will to live and support the best health care professionals, our new president will win this battle," said Maduro.
A senior government official said Caracas Eve New Year's Eve Party in downtown Bolivar Plaza has been canceled. "Everybody pray for the strength of our commander to overcome this difficult period," the official, Jacqueline Faria, Twitter added after instruction.
OIL FINANCED BY THE SOCIALISM
Chavez resigned for health reasons or death, became the country's policy of OPEC, where his personalized brand of oil funded socialism has made him a hero to the poor, but a pariah to criticism call a dictator.
His condition is now followed by Latin America, especially in other countries, led by leftist governments of Cuba and Bolivia, which depends on the supply of fuel subsidies and other aid from Venezuela for their fragile economies .
Chavez did not provide detailed information on the cancer that was first diagnosed in June 2011, which led to speculation among the 29 million people in Venezuela and criticism of opposition leaders.
Chavez allies have openly discussed the possibility that he can not return to Venezuela, which will be open to his third six-year term in office on the date of its constitution on January 10.
Senior "Chavista" Officials said that the desire people have been clear when the president was re-elected in October, and that the Constitution does not specify what happens if the President-elect can not take office on January 10.
Opposition leaders say delay is only the latest sign that Chavez is not able to govern the country and that a new election must be called to choose a replacement. If Chavez to resign and new elections will be held within 30 days.
Opposition members believe they have a better chance against Maduro, who was appointed earlier this month, Chavez, as his successor, rather than against the charismatic president, who for 14 years has been virtually unbeatable in polls.
Any succession constitutional litigation could lead to disorder transition to a post-Chavez was in a country with the largest oil reserves in the world.
Maduro has become the face of the government, in the absence of Chavez, imitating the pompous and harsh criticism of the president of the United States and its policies "imperialist".
Broadcast on Sunday Maduro said Chavez sent wishes for a Happy New Year to all Venezuelans, "especially children, it is in my heart forever."

agriculture in America

In this high-tech era bit of information "in a big industry as a source of national economic power. However, no area in the United States is the best for the future of agriculture - if we allow it to reach the potential of ICT.
As "manufacturers and builders before, farmers are the target of urban aesthetes and green activists, who hope to impose their utopian vision of agriculture. This vision involves the closure of large farms and replace the EM science performed with a small organic gardens and urban households.
Concerns farmers who attack major move in the political sphere. Extends to the cut water, higher standards for the use of pesticides, the ban on caged chickens and movement increasingly prohibit the use of genetically engineered crops . And which could affect the sector performed well during the last decade and has excellent long-term prospects.
Over the next 40 years, the world will be about 3 billion people. These people not only want to eat, want to improve their consumption of protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. United States, the majority of agricultural land and agricultural development, benefit from growing markets of the thesis. Last year, the balance of trade in the agricultural sector of the United States has reached nearly $ 35 billion, compared with about $ 5 billion in 2005.
In general, the impact of agriculture on the economy far more than you think, my colleague Delore Zimmerman of Praxis Strategy Group. Approximately 4.1 million people directly employed in the production of agriculture, farmers, ranchers and workers, the goal of the industry directly or indirectly employs about one in six American workers, including those working in the food industry, marketing, delivery and supermarkets.
However, none of these seems to be slow growing criticism of "social farming". Article typical time called "Getting Real About the High Price of Cheap Food," attacked "American agriculture" for the filing of an ecological catastrophe. "With soil depletion, the impact of global climate and the increase in oil prices is inevitable - which will affect everything from fertilizer to supermarket electricity bills - our industrial style of food production, "the article provides" end sooner or later. "
Romantic model moves through time and intellectuals like Michael Pollan agricultural replay the concept of European companies and the Tolstoy family run by generations of farmers happy. This lens has very little to do with the essential spirit of American agriculture.
Already in the 19th century, Alexis de Tocqueville, American farmers indicated that their company is considered more of capitalist farmers. They sell their farms and move to other companies or businessman from other countries - a practice unknown in Europe. "Almost all farmers in the United States," he writes, "to combine trade with agriculture, most of them agriculture is to make an exchange."
Despite the perception of the company in the agricultural sector, the entrepreneurial spirit remains. Almost 96% of households have 2, 2 million of the national economy, including a majority of the largest spread. And small-scale agriculture, the actual reduction for many years, is on the rise from 2002 to 2009, the number of farms increased by 4%.
This trend towards small-scale specialized production of a positive trend, the major objective, scientifically advanced agriculture majority produces more food for an average family, and most of our exports. In general, organic foods and drinks are less than 3% of all food sales in the United States - just enough to feed the population, and especially hunger global growth.
Then there is the concept even more bizarre - Major D. Dixon Despommier Columbia - food production moving urban mass emissions. In a recent survey conducted by the New York Times, he said, we're running out of land and agriculture is necessary to remove the farm. Selon Despommier, "traditional model of agriculture based on soil developed over the last 12,000 years will no longer be a viable option."
However, Praxis Strategy Lephion Matthew, who grew up on the family farm, points out that these projects are not very worthy alternative in terms of food production. Urban areas are much more expensive - at least 10 times more often in rural areas. Energy and other costs of maintaining households in major cities aussi, is likely to be higher.
In addition, the fact that America is the land - a justification for subsidizing urban - seems fanciful at best. Over the past 30 years, there has been a loss of agricultural land, the amount of land that develops products collected is stable. Although some farmland near metropolitan centers should be protected simply HAS agriculture during the last decade have returned to nature - forests, wetlands, grasslands - millions of hectares of more than I beens dedicated residential and other urban uses.
However ridiculous arguments, the Obama administration is under the influence of environmental groups and cultural life of the prisoners left ICT powerful contingent of gourmet organic. This leaves small farmers and small towns dependent 'Em with a whisper.
The ability of green and the other to devastate agriculture can be seen in the disaster currently unfolding in the fertile Central Valley of California. Large areas of the region is being developed back in the desert - dry times less lenient règlements to save obscure fish species in the Delta State. More than 450,000 hectares have already allowed the former ferry. Nearly 30,000 jobs Agriculture - mainly Latinos - are former lost, and many cities suffer rearing conditions that resemble grapes of wrath.
Not satisfied with the results of the thesis, the green lobby has prompted the National Marine Fisheries Service to reduce the list of energy that the conditions of whales and other species in the ocean. This strained relations, farmers, including those with whom I worked in Salinas, worried about what steps the federal regulatory agencies and the state can take.
Of particular interest revolves around the movement against genetically modified foods. Already there are calls to ban GMOs in Monterey County. Local officials worry paralyze the industrial area of ​​emerging biotechnology, agriculture and the long term ability of farmers to compete with existing competitors unless regulated elsewhere. That less developed form of genetic engineering aussi called "green revolution", which greatly reduces hunger in the world, I think, effective in 1965, EM least inappropriate.
If you look globally, compared to a lot of agriculture is even worse. As a professor of Food Science at the University of Chapman noted Anuradha Prakash, India organic farms use a small part of the market and can not meet the food needs of a growing population. "You can not understand the need for you to Africa and Asia yields on organic methods," he said.
Formula that works for an upscale Manhattan gastronomic Bay Area or can not produce enough food to feed the masses available - either in Minnesota or Mumbai. New war for agriculture not only threatens the lives of millions of American workers, which may affect our ability to help feed the world.

Why We Need Exercise

Sometimes I am guilty look that everyone understands the reasons why you should do something just because I do. And it was clear that people do not always understand why it is so important to our daily lives. This is especially true for people who do not have weight problems. We tend to think that they have to exercise until they are older and subject to weight gain and many diseases. But since you're here now, let's dive. Why should we exercise?
Heart and Lung Health: This is one of the most important reasons to exercise. An active lifestyle is a major cause of heart disease. While heart disease often occur when we are older, you need to start training at an early age to keep your heart strong with age. Cardiovascular exercises such as running, swimming, cycling and aerobics are especially good for the heart, hence the name "cardiovascular". This type of exercise helps maintain blood pressure, reduce bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol in the blood, which reduces the risk of diabetes and improve their level of resistance are not breath easily. Diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol all conditions that blacks are more susceptible to most other races.
Maintain a healthy weight: If you are reading this on the internet, you probably already know that exercise is essential to maintaining a healthy weight. Any type of physical activity helps burn calories that are stored in the body from the food we eat. To lose weight, you must burn calories. However, the exercise will not only help you lose weight, but to keep the weight as we age. As we age, our metabolism slows down, so they need more physical activity just to maintain our weight. This is why most people weight with age, even if they stick to the same diet, always have been.
Sexual Health: Exercise improves blood circulation. Need I say more? For men, such as erectile dysfunction is usually caused by poor circulation, exercise, in turn, helps reduce the risk of erectile dysfunction. For women who are not picked up. Blood flow is also very important for the big "O", so that blood circulation problems can be one of the reasons why people are more satisfied with sex than women, but this is only my opinion . In addition, the researchers say that people tend to create a better sex life than those who are not physically. Several arguments can be raised to support the cause of it, for example, people are generally fitter more attractive because of their high level of confidence, or the speed of the other, as their sexual performance. But whatever the reason, the fact is that people tend to have a better sex life.
Creation and muscle tone: exercise helps strengthen the muscles and bones through cardio and strength training. Bodybuilding is a form of exercise that involves muscular endurance, so if you use your body weight or a third party, in which the participation of the body in motion, which requires a little "resistance (eg, push-ups) is strength training. Why do we need to build muscle, anyway? Help build muscle mass, metabolism, and as they grow, they really need to increase the metabolic rate in order to maintain your weight. In addition, muscles prevent disease and improve balance. Lord, I do not think building muscles means that you have to look like a bodybuilder. It is possible to maintain a good amount of muscle mass.
Reduce stress and improve your mood: Now, we know that exercise helps our physical health. What about our mental health? Anyone who wants to say that, of course, reduces stress. Exercise is known to cause the release of a hormone that makes you feel more relaxed, and also increases their self-esteem. Because of this hormone, people who exercise are generally in a good mood, have a high energy level, and sleep better. Exercise helps people tend to not only sleep, but sleep helps to deepen and we feel well rested during the day. However, the right before bed can actually be cons-productive because it would take too much energy to sleep. So give yourself plenty of time between exercise and lower bed.
Start moving your body today! Dancing, swimming, there are several ways to incorporate exercise into your daily life.
