The storm’s forward movement was slowing as its top winds fell, meaning it could become nearly stationary somewhere over Mexico by late Sunday. Forecasters at the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said the slow [...]

…there is NO SUCH THING as RACE, and no ‘biological’ distinctions or differences that ‘separate’ us. This is all fallacy. There is no ‘one’ superior race. The ‘catholics’ or ‘believers’ may like to think so, and it is real practical for them, too, but no such luck.

U.S. Urges Latin America to Reduce Expenditure on ArmamentsFront page / Hotspots and Incidents / Conflicts09.04.2010 Source: Pravda.Ru Increase font size Decrease font size print versionPages: 1The United States Assistant Secretary of State to Latin America, Arturo Valenzuela, acknowledged on Wednesday (7th) the right of a “sovereign” country to renew their weapons, but demanded that military spending in the region be reduced. BREAKING NEWS Poland’s Political Elite Dies in Air Crash in Russia Polish administration killed in air crashMore… “Any sovereign country has the right to seek improvements to their armaments and modernizing them. This is obvious and it respects sovereignty,” Valenzuela said after a question about the purchase of weapons by Venezuela during a lecture at the University of Los Andes in Bogota.However, the U.S. diplomat said “there was a reversal on the military expenditures in Latin America. Therefore, we must consider that this spending would fall, since there are so many problems to be solved.”"It’s a question that goes far beyond Venezuela, which should be how it will reduce the arms race, how to solve problems. Good thing there is UNASUL (Union of South American Nations) a proposal in that sense,” he said.A few days ago, Philip Crowley, the spokesman for the U.S. Department of State, said the biggest concern in Washington with the announcement from Moscow to sell $5 billion in military weapons to Venezuela, is the possibility that some of these weapons end up in other countries.Valenzuela, who arrived in Colombia on Tuesday afternoon after visiting Ecuador, said the United States is concerned with “aggressive speeches, that could violate peace on the continent.”"It just worries the United States, as it should worry the other Latin American countries,” he added. Shortly before, during his conference, Valenzuela emphasized that at this point we cannot “tolerate war-like threats between these countries and neither support to terrorist groups,” without specifying which group he was referring to.Valenzuela met on Tuesday with Defense Minister of Colombia, Gabriel Silva, and is expected to travel to Cartagena (1100 km north of Bogotá) to attend the fifth Latin American edition of the World Economic Forum, which will end on Thursday. Later, he will visit Peru.Colombia and the United States in 2009 signed a military agreement allowing American troops controlled use of seven bases on Colombian territory to “fight drug trafficking and terrorism.”Translated from the Portuguese version by:Lisa KARPOVAPRAVDA.Ru

Women in the Cherokee society were equal to men. They could earn the title of War Women and sit in councils as equals. This privilege led an Irishman named Adair who traded with the Cherokee from 1736-1743 to accuse the Cherokee of having a “petticoat government”. Clan kinship followed the mother’s side of the family. The children grew up in the mother’s house, and it was the duty of an uncle on the mother’s side to teach the boys how to hunt, fish, and perform certain tribal duties. The women owned the houses and their furnishings. Marriages were carefully negotiated, but if a woman decided to divorce her spouse, she simply placed his belongings outside the house. Cherokee women also worked hard. They cared for the children, cooked, tended the house, tanned skins, wove baskets, and cultivated the fields. Men helped with some household chores like sewing, but they spent most of their time hunting.
