How Long Should I Keep My Weave In

More than 8,000 workers and students between Termini Imerese! CP EXPERIA



Great participation Regional parade this morning at 8-hour general strike called by the FIOM.
More than 8,000 workers from the Fiat plant in Termini Imerese to shipyards in Palermo and Trapani, the refinery and petrochemical Milazzo, Messina Sicem of the steelworks, the steelworks south of Catania, Siracusa from petrochemicals, the Metra Ragusa workers and many other establishments. The delegations marched through the streets of the Sicilian town home to the Fiat factory. The parade also

students from Palermo, Catania and other areas of Sicily who brought their solidarity with the working class down the streets with it.
It has for months that the student movement shouted from north to south la volontà di scendere a fianco dei lavoratori in occasione di uno sciopero generale.

Uno sciopero generale che i sindacati di regime Cgil-Cisl-Uil-Ugl non hanno la volontà di proclamare, addirittura la Camusso nelle scorse settimane ha dichiarato che “ancora non ci sono le condizioni per proclamare lo sciopero generale”, dopo queste dichiarazioni vergognose ieri il segretario generale della Cgil è stato giustamente contestato a Bologna da 30.000 operai.

Finalmente alla prima occasione dopo il 16 ottobre in cui gli operai scendono in piazza per uno sciopero del genere, il movimento studentesco in tutto il paese ha messo in pratica ciò che ha gridato per mesi: l’unione delle lotte di operai e studenti.
From Palermo
present both high school students from different faculties and university, from Humanities to Science in Agriculture to the Academy of Fine Arts. On the way

attacked with eggs and smoke bombs the union headquarters of UIL rules.

Our piece of Red Block behind the banner "students and workers against fascism want to master the general strike" made by the students of CAIL (collective self-organized fighting academy) and school and university students with a delegation of the Circle of proletarians Palermo Communists shouted slogans all the way "against the crisis of capital we want a general strike," "unemployment, misery and mourning, pay for expensive pay everything, "died on the job we do not want more, Marchionne upside down", "Berlusconi, Bossi and Fini will do the end of Mussolini", "Piazzale Loreto, there are so many street lights, yesterday today Mussolini Berlusconi", " Berlusconi pig, come out now, I'll do us a great process, "if there are many unemployed, and the fault of the owners and not the immigrants."
We sympathized with the social upheavals taking place in Tunisia, Egypt, Albania, Yemen and Jordan.
The procession ended with a flourish in Piazza Duomo in Palermo where all students of different faculties and schools have questioned the representative of the CGIL Serena Sorrentino was forced to stop its intervention in the cry of "general strike", the same slogan with which we stopped in Rome, the former secretary general of the CGIL Epifani.
Definitely a good day of fighting that saw the streets full of workers and students together at last in a significant but not yet achieved the goal of a real general strike of all classes capable of blocking the city and the production as is the case these days in Arab countries and in Albania.
We believe that the way forward is that of the student radicalism of December 14 in Rome where he was not backward but instead has gone on the offensive against the been, his servants in uniform and laying siege to the halls of power.
Such radicalism would be explosive with the combination of the student movement to that of the working class in the first place and workers in general. Unfortunately
in historical moments like these where the main advances and fascism, the Berlusconi government is still standing in some areas of so-called sectarian movement prevailing political choices.
We refer to the shortsighted choice to hold a second place separate from the working of the Cobas Confederation Termini Imerese.
choice shortsighted because it had the result of dividing the "Sicilian square," but in a relative as compared to the 8000 in Termini Imerese Palermo fell in square about 100 protesters cobas almost all members of the public service, few medium and very few university students.

Gaydar Locate Guys Near You

PRESS ON STRIKE OF 28 JANUARY

a statement SHARE IN SUBSTANCE: On

metalworkers strike and march Friday, January 28 in Sicily. With regard to the mobilization

issued for 28 days, the CP Experia Catania while sharing the views of the Cobas Confederation will take part in the procession organized by the Sicilian FIOM at Termini Imerese. The CP
Experia choose to stand by the workers of Fiat Termini, the only establishment in the Marchionne and Fiat have sanctioned the closure.
Il C.P. Experia sceglie di manifestare insieme agli operai e allo loro famiglie mantenendo le distanze politiche da organizzazioni partitiche e sindacali che hanno appoggiato e sostenuto le politiche liberiste e affamatrici del capitalismo italiano (PD e CGIL) e che negli ultimi 20 anni hanno visto smantellare diritti e opportunità di lavoro a discapito della precarietà e a salvaguardia degli interessi padronali e dei profitti aziendali.
Pensiamo infine che in questo periodo di crisi e di attacco feroce alle nostre condizioni di vita, sia poco costruttivo frapporre distanze politiche attraverso scelte settarie e non unitarie.

One Ounce Silver Value Columbus, Oh

Students and workers joined in the fight!


is not an empty slogan or linked to past and outdated ...
Even today we see the employers 'attacks on workers' rights and, primarily, the working class, education or interference always attack most unbearable of Confindustria, the Catholic church and state in our schools and faculties.
This becomes a necessity of the union battles between students and workers, a union that frightens the rulers for several reasons: students and young people in general are the future, a future that would cancel but that students do not want give up and they have shown during these months of mobilization cause problems in power until the great battle of December 14 in Rome, where dozens of thugs in uniform if they are taken to his heels and the palaces of power, with their parasites inside, were besieged. Padron
Marchionne Fiat blackmailing workers but in fact the entire working class and workers putting in question the fundamental rights, such as strike, won decades ago with the struggles.
This real fascism master based on blackmail, where you accept the agreement or imposed by Marchionne or threatened closure of establishments by sending home thousands of workers and their families must be resisted.
Faced with all this Camusso of the CGIL believes that there are still the conditions for a general strike!
We cried with a loud voice "general strike" on Oct. 16 in Rome during the event metalworkers FIOM repeatedly interrupting the former secretary of the CGIL Epifani.

As students who have no future we want a general strike because we accept the challenge to employers and government, as well as our peers in Greece, the United Kingdom, Tunisia, Algeria, Albania and so they have already begun to be felt with the facts, in squares against "their government" and against the same global system that causes all this misery: capitalism!
As young revolutionary act in deeds and not words for "students and workers uniti nella lotta” non rimanga uno slogan inflazionato ma lavoriamo perché diventi nei fatti una alleanza rivoluzionaria capace di cambiare realmente la vita di milioni di giovani e lavoratori!

Finalmente la FIOM si è decisa a proclamare lo sciopero generale di 8 ore per gli operai metalmeccanici, aderiamo e partecipiamo in massa!
In Sicilia la manifestazione operaia sarà giustamente a Termini Imerese dove da anni gli operai subiscono il ricatto di chiusura dello stabilimento ancor prima di quello di Pomigliano e di Mirafiori.
Se gli operai si mobilitano in massa come hanno dato prova nel 2001 a Termini Imerese non è scontato che lo stabilimento venga chiuso!
Per questo è giusto manifestare a Termini Imerese Friday, January 28!

After the first big no in the referendum worker / Pomigliano blackmail and now that of Mirafiori, the streets alongside the workers actually merging our struggle with them, exchanging experiences in the square and real solidarity and class! Concentration

Cross The Pacific In A Power Boat

Dovremmo lavorare sulle cose che ci accomunano e consentire alle differenze di esistere.

Sono cresciuta in una famiglia adottiva interrazziale durante l'apartheid. Sogni e fantasie erano il mio rifugio dalla crudeltà psicologica del sistema. L'arte era il mio rifugio, un'instancabile varietà di natura era il mio riparo, la poesia diventò la casa dove potevo veramente esprimere me stessa e riflettere il mondo che vedevo. Questa per me è la libertà.
Sceneggiatrice, attrice, poetessa, Philippa Yaa de Villiers è una di quelle persone carismatiche con cui non è difficile provare una certa empatia, è quel che è accaduto "incontrandola", leggendola, ascoltandola, osservando la fisionomia del suo volto and listening to the softness of his voice that caresses with irony any topic. An eclectic woman who recognizes the success of an artist not so much in praise and tribute to the public as to the need of the artist to do what they feel the need without expecting anything in return.


VALENTINA - Philippa Ghanaian your father and your mother was Australian and did you grow up in a homestay adoptive Afrikaner origins. What did it mean for you and the environment in which you were living, growing up in a white family during the apartheid regime? As you grow up?
PHILIPPE - My adoptive mother was an academy married to a German craftsman anglicised Afrikaner. I think the biggest challenge of how we see the identity through the apartheid and racism, is that we divide the company into labels based on color and whether or not people who fit those labels. This was a huge problem for me. I was too black to be white and too white to be black. I was completely unacceptable to certain people (those people who like to define the other according to some labels). Under apartheid and in a much more racist, the reference points, cultural habits and assumptions were the prerogative of certain population groups. For example, whites loved classical music and were the best classical musicians. What I found growing up, it's cultural references that I share with people of every color and color refer to specifically exclude a strictly political history, is vile and offensive, denying people their humanity and undermines their dreams.


VALENTINA - What was your relationship with other children with blacks and whites?
PHILIPPE My best friends were the children of my African nanny. I also had white friends, but not many, although I have met some who insisted on facebook to say that I was very popular. Many times I felt a sense of disorientation and alienation. I used to shield becoming the buffoon class.


VALENTINA - How to grow between different cultures has influenced your writing?
PHILIPPE I think being an outsider has helped to give a lot of energy to my writing: the power to relate to others. Writing has to do with reading as well as the writing itself. I think my concern and my deep desire to see myself reflected, my spiritual thirst to see the full complexity of my human condition told, lies in the words of others, has brought me to read authors from South America, Asia, Caribbean, Americans, Africans, Australians and Europeans. I am grateful for this sense of appartenenza a un unico mondo attraverso la letteratura.

VALENTINA - Se dovessi usare una metafora come descriveresti il senso di "appartenenza"?
PHILIPPA - L'appartenenza  è come un bell'abito che hai acquistato in una bancarella per la strada senza averlo provato. Quando poi vai a casa e lo indossi, scopri che ti fa sembrare cosi grande e non ti dona affatto.


VALENTINA - Quali sono stati gli autori che hanno modellato la tua vita di lettrice?
PHILIPPA - James Baldwin, Tsitsi Dangbarengba, Heinrich Boll, Martin Carter, Keorapetse Kgositsile, Stacyann Chin, Arundhati Roy, Riaan Malan,  e certamente my fellow poets: Makhosazana Xaba, Myesha Jenkins, Napo Masheane, Lebo Mashile, Natalia Molebatsi, Khanya Magubane, Malika Ndlovu.

VALENTINA-You wrote a beautiful monologue that you've also played on "Original Skin" is a wonderful work imbued with irony in which you explore your ratio with'identità. How hard was it for you to write? Through such suffering and inner conflicts did you have to go?
PHILIPPE - If you have a year's time I'll explain .... E 'was difficult, I had to overcome all the taboos that usually adopted children live. You were adopted and for this you have to be loyal and infinitely grateful to coloro che ti hanno adottata anche se hanno commesso dei gravi errori. Poi c' è stato il fatto di non avere intrapreso questo viaggio identitario prima, di solito le persone lo intraprendono nell'età adolescenziale, io invece ho dovuto aspettare i miei trentanni e infine c' stata la paura degli scrittori, cosa avrebbero pensato di me, mi avrebbero presa in considerazione?






VALENTINA - Philippa che cos'è l'identità per te? Se dovessimo definire una identità sudafricana in un paese cosi palesemente multietnico come lo definiresti?
PHILIPPA - Vedo l'identità come una serie di attributi che scegliamo per sottolineare la nostra relazione with the world. If you are gay may be more important for you to emphasize your sexuality. I think that identities are continually divided and correct according to your intentions, you might want to emphasize the fact of being black because maybe you'll be guaranteed more feedback. You could emphasize the fact of being a single mother because the power company to speed up the practices of connection to the service. We have fallen from heaven, identities are created and destroyed, we are no longer innocent. We use identity to get what we want. The technology helps us to achieve these aims very quickly, people continually create identity using Social Network as facebook or twitter . But we must still act, and this is much more important than anything else.

VALENTINA - The writer Amin Malouf said that we are not trees mean that our roots are not necessarily linked to a site geografico.Sei agree with this thought? Where are your roots?
PHIIPPA - I'm not sure since they are not yet at the end of my story. I've had good times in all places where I lived, where I felt at home, ready to grow in peace. I agree that my roots are not identifiable with a specific geographical place, I would say that my roots are my son eleven years, and wherever he is I will have to build him a house and provide for him. He shapes the tree where I'm growing.

VALENTINA - South Africa will soon be celebrating its sixteenth birthday free country, you can tell us how the South African company has grown in recent years and how it relates to the youth of South Africa's past?
PHILIPPE - South Africa is sitting on the sorrow and corruption of passato.Stiamo still struggling for social justice and now is even more difficult because there is no longer the apartheid regime. Youth is more forward looking and this is a good thing just to go forward and improve, to grow you need to know where we came from and that's why I brought Original Skin in schools, to stimulate debate on identity and to encourage people to look beyond the limitations that the old apartheid regime put in people. I do this especially for those who are still obsessed with racial identity. The main division of classes is still standing, even in some cases more so since Viviano in a neo-liberal financial system that led to the emergence of a small black middle class, the majority are still excluded even in access to ' education and adequate health care.

VALENTINA - What would the world companies need to break the wall of discrimination? And what, we as parents, children, educators, we should build on our agenda to do so is born an intercultural society where differences are seen as a value and not as a fear?
PHILIPPE - We should work on things that unite us and allow differences to exist. We need to identify racism and sexism and make it difficult for the people who are now priorities in access to resources. We should direct our attention to creating a social equality. Sounds easy but we must act, we need to cut the apathy that afflicts us.

VALENTINA - I you've been living a double identity crisis, adopted daughter and then the sense of alienation in a society that did not include blacks. You'd never have got the definition of your life without going through the writing?
PHILIPPE - Not really. Writing has always been the place where I wanted to be, as I also wanted to reveal myself to people close to me.


VALENTINA - Finish this sentence for us: "writing is ......"
PHILIPPE - It 's the hardest thing I ever did and the happier I was able to accomplish.

VALENTINA - I believe the country is better known by their authors. What authors and titles recommend to anyone wishing to learn more about the South Africa of yesterday and today?
PHILIPPE Zakes Mda (The Madonna of Exelsior, Ways of Dying), Njabulo Ndebele (The Cry of Winnie Mandela), Zukiswa Wanner (The Madams, Men of the South), Siphiwo Mahala (When a man cries), Thando Mgqolozana (When a man is not a man), Lebo Mashile (Ribbon of Rhythm, Flying Against the sky) Makhosazana Xaba (Tongues of Their Mothers), Riaan Malan (My Traitor's Heart).

VALENTINA - How would you describe the South African literary scene?
PHIIPPA - We have several important literary events, but in South Africa are good books out the reach of the majority of the population. The art scene is vibrant and exciting but it can really grow once overcome social inequalities.

VALENTINA - What do you expect for your country in the next ten years and how you would like to help you achieve your goals?
PHILIPPE - I would like to contribute by developing a culture of reading through public readings. Currently I coordinate a small reading group of libraries in the circuit where we discuss books and writing. I would write more for the theater, my first great passion, and develop and extend the language through contact with an increasingly again.
My challenge is to live consciously doing what I need in South Africa unfortunately we do not have a subsidy scheme for writers, so this is really to balance the social responsbailità with that individual.


Philippa is the author of two collections of poetry: TALLER THAN BUILDINGS published by the Centre for the Books, an NGO working through the National Library in order to promote reading in South Africa and published in 2010 WIFE THE EVERYDAY Books from Modjadji . The poetry collection was presented to Harare International Festival of the Arts last April.
Philippa won the award organized by National Arts Festival's Writing Beyond the Fringe for a literary work entitled "The Day That Jesus Dropped the Ball ... and other stories ."
Here is a poem from The everyday wife dedicated to Zimbabwean-born musician Chiwoniso Maraire exponent of mbira music .



 


for Chiwoniso Maraire

We Africans came to Berlin to sing
and recite poetry. We had an agenda:
remembering our anthems of loss,
galloping, consuming,
the pillage, the cries
like forest fires, like haunted children,
how can we, how can we even
begin to redress?
Enraged, we wanted revenge
and then, Chiwoniso, you stepped on the stage and
you opened your mouth and
every stolen river of platinum and gold
poured out of your mouth in song;
your voice etched us out of the night
and doubled the light in each of us.
You restored all the treasure-houses
from Benin to Zimbabwe, Mapungubwe to Cairo;
Africa moved its golden bones,
shook off its heavy chains
and danced again.
That night I thought
if only
love could purchase bread,
Africans would not be hungry.

Los Hombres De Paco On Dvd In English

Solidarity with bread riots and work in Algeria and Tunisia


Workers community expresses its full support to the proletarian masses and popular in Algeria and Tunisia who are in revolt for bread and work against regimes reactionaries, subservient to the French bourgeoisie and imperialism and western Algeria in genere.La police and the army shot and killed in Tunis and Algiers, but the revolt did not stop!
proletarian and popular revolt that spread for days in Tunisia and Algeria with the wide participation of young students and workers is un forte segnale di riscossa contro i regimi di questi paesi asserviti e complici dell’imperialismo in primis quello francese e italiano.
In questi paesi la borghesia locale al potere fa affari con le borghesie imperialiste svendendo le risorse nazionali come il petrolio mentre il popolo vive nella miseria, in Tunisia il 70% della popolazione è formata da giovani di cui il 30% è disoccupata. A tutto questo si aggiunge l’aumento dei prezzi dei beni di prima necessità come pane e olio che rende veramente difficile la sopravvivenza della popolazione.
In queste condizioni l’unica alternativa per i giovani maghrebini dovrebbe essere quella di lasciare il loro paese in cerca di fortuna, ma per dove?
I giovani maghrebini che arrive in Italy or other EU countries are to "welcome" racist laws, are confined in detention centers and real lager called CIE with the sole guilt of being "illegal." Some young people interviewed in recent days have said that after studying and graduating in Tunisia prefer to remain in their country than their future rather than take a trip with the risk of dying at sea or be imprisoned for doing nothing or end the window cleaner in our city.
After the uprising of young people in the heart of Europe imperialist from Athens to London, Paris and Rome now even the young people of the Maghreb challenge head-on the state to ask for their rights basic things like bread and work.

Everything started when the young 26 year old graduate Mohamed Bouaziz but street vendor, police seized his cart with the merchandise, the extreme choice was to cover themselves with gasoline and set themselves on fire.
What comes to mind parallels with Norman Zarcone, young Palermo plurilaureato who came to the same extreme choice, throwing himself into space from the Faculty of Humanities of Palermo, having realized that despite all the cards in this system would guarantee a decent future.
Faced with all this social mess produced by the capitalist system, the revolt of young North Africans is just and holy.
Il presidente tunisino Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali ha ordinato la chiusura di scuole e università e ha definito i giovani ribelli “terroristi”. Terroristi sono i governi della borghesia che impongono al popolo una vita di stenti e che hanno ordinato ai loro servi in divisa di sparare sulla folla, solo in Tunisia ci sono stati quasi 100 morti, il governo locale ha censurato tutto ciò parlando di 20 morti e dichiarando che la polizia ha sparato per legittima difesa. Sappiamo dai media indipendenti e dai blog locali che sono tutte falsità!
Anche in Algeria dal 5 gennaio è scoppiata la rivolta per gli stessi motivi e anche li la risposta del governo è stata analoga a quella del governo tunisino.

La nostra solidarietà must necessarily be directed towards this main objective of our struggle, the Berlusconi government, a staunch ally of these regimes as a trade partner. In this the statements of Foreign Minister Frattini went well beyond the hypocritical statements of U.S. officials who have formally condemned the repression and violence as if they were on the same plane. Frattini gave full support to the Tunisian regime stating: "no ifs, ands or buts condemn all forms of violence against innocent civilians, but also to support a government like Tunisia, which has paid a price in blood for terrorism: we are always on the part of the fight against terrorism. "

front of the complaint and the falsity of the Italian media you need to extend information and solidarity on this issue among students, workers and the workers because they become aware that here, as in Tunisia to make sure that you do not pay for the crisis of the bosses takes tens and hundreds of these that are addressed a first step towards political and social revolution to end this barbarous system based on the profit of man by man.
