Calcium carbide | ООО "Carbide Impex"
Calcium carbide is one of the types of inorganic compounds (chemical formula CaC2) used in modern industry as an intermediate in chemical and other industrial processes. It is a crystalline substance and its color ranges from light brown to black (depending on purity of its components).
chemical industry related to production of synthetic materials that have found application in various fields of human activity, such as synthetic rubber, synthetic resins, vinyl chloride and fertilizers for agriculture used for soil liming ( "dolomitic lime) and control of plant growth.
carbon compounds in the form of coke (anthracite coal).
assorted pieces are packed in special hermetically closed steel drums (usually – weighing 125-130 kg) or containers made of modern materials, impermeable to moisture.
Calcium carbide actively absorbs moisture and large amounts of volatile energy are rapidly released during its expansion. That has an irritant effect on human bodies – mucosal respiratory and skin. Therefore special safety requirements are applied for storage and transportation.
For opening drums containing calcium carbide, steel blades coated with special grease should be applied.


Most of us enjoy spending time in the sun and but, despite the advice, it still seems we can still be prone to overdoing exposure to the sun's rays. It's easy to underestimate your time to the sun and not realise you're getting burnt.
While sunburn is usually short-lived and mild, it's important to avoid because it can increase the chances of developing skin cancer in later life.
The first thing to do if you or your child has sunburn, is to get out of direct sunlight as soon as possible.
Heat exhaustion causes extreme tiredness as a result of a decrease in blood pressure and blood volume. It's caused by a loss of body fluids after being exposed to heat for a prolonged period of time.
Heatstroke is a more serious condition than heat exhaustion and occurs when the body's temperature becomes dangerously high. The body is no longer able to cool itself and starts to overheat.
shower skin with cool, but not cold, water (15–18°C); alternatively, cover their body with cool, damp towels or sheets.
Left untreated, heatstroke can lead to complications, such as brain damage and organ failure. It's also possible to die from heatstroke.
sprinkle water over your skin or clothing, or keep a damp cloth on the back of your neck.
Going on holiday is exciting, with lots of things to plan, but taking certain essential items can help maximise your time in the sun. It may not be top of your planning list alongside passport and tickets, but a visit your local pharmacy before heading off either home or abroad should feature in your preparations.
Firstly, talk to your local pharmacist if you are on medication for a condition such as asthma, diabetes or a heart problem, to find out if you need a repeat prescription to take with you.
Secondly, put together a basic first aid kit to deal with any minor health issues while you're away. Again your pharmacy can help with that.
Putting these two things on your holiday 'to do' list will avoid unnecessary worries or time spent buying medicines or other first-aid supplies whilst you're away. The last thing you want to be doing while you're on holiday is searching around for painkillers, antihistamines or plasters.
A basic first aid kit will help with minor ailments, such as stomach upsets, allergies, headaches, sunburn, insect bites, aches and sprains and strains. The really useful interactive first aid kit guide at www.nhs.uk can help ensure you have everything you need, or talk to your local pharmacy for advice.
If you're travelling in Europe be sure to take a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC), available free at https://www.ehic.org.uk . It will enable you to access state-provided healthcare across most of Europe at a reduced cost, or sometimes for free. It will also cover treatment until you return to the UK.
Before going abroad, be sure to check the rules about the types and quantities of medicines you are allowed to take. Some medicines available over the counter in the UK may be controlled in other countries and vice versa.
Spring and summer are the time of year when allergies such as asthma, eczema and hay fever can get much worse, with symptoms including sneezing, coughing, skin rashes and shortness of breath.
But there's no need to get bogged down by runny noses, itchy eyes, irritated skin and tickly throats.
Allergy sufferers can prepare for the spring and summer months by getting the medicines they need from their local pharmacist – who can also offer expert advice to help people manage their health during warmer months.
If symptoms persist, despite the use of over-the-counter medicines, you should get in touch with your GP who may then offer tests to identify the cause.
And the opportunities that nice weather brings for activities, outdoor living, fresh air and fun.
When thinking about laid back, sunny days it's easy to switch off to messages about health risks but there's a real chance that you or someone you know could be negatively affected by the heat. Children and babies, older people and those with long term health conditions – especially heart and breathing problems — are particularly at risk.
Knowing how to keep cool and manage health conditions during hot weather can save lives.
If someone feels unwell, get them somewhere cool to rest and give plenty of water to drink. Seek medical help if symptoms such as breathlessness, chest pain, confusion, weakness or dizziness don't go away.
More information is available at www.nhs.uk and you can call NHS 111 24/7 for further advice.


The club's annual artistic competition is scheduled to take place on 21 October, and the closing date for entries is 7 October. The draw will take place on the day of the next committee meeting (12 October). Please refer to the posters in the ice rink for details.
Anyone interested in sponsoring trophies and medals should contact chairwoman Karen Bicknell.
The club also needs raffle prizes, and again anyone with prizes to donate should contact Karen.

Just a quick overview of all of the Shaman changes going live this week.
Ancestral Guidance is now triggered by all damage and healing and multistrikes instead of just direct damage and healing.
This will likely make Storm Elemental the default talent choice for Enhancement, and closer to competitive for Elemental and Restoration. Liquid Magma should continue to have situational value for Enhancement.
Echo of the Elements now gives affected abilities a second charge instead of being a proc that causes those abilities to not incur a cooldown. Spirit Link Totem has been added to the affected abilities.
This is an interesting change that will cause the talent to notably change Enhancement's priority when taken. Because of that, It may take some time for its true value to be made known in sims, but it has a much more pleasing feel and higher skill cap than the previous version. It will shift our damage breakdown toward Stormstrike, Lava Lash and Fire Nova as the previous version did, but do so in a way that allows skill and planning to have an impact. The addition of Spirit Link for Restoration gives it the potential for a lot of situational value.
Frozen Power will no longer trigger Elemental's mastery.
This will be a slight buff to the talent for Elemental when cast on targets you haven't damaged.
Grounding Totem affects your entire raid group instead of just the party you're in.
With this, the list of party-only abilities in WoW is cut in half. Knowing that it will do something instead of only having a random chance based on target selection to do something should let it see more effective use in raiding or rated battlegrounds.
Enhanced Chain Lightning now buffs Earthquake by 300% and makes it instant cast when Chain Lightning hits 3 or more targets instead of increasing Earthquake damage done by 60% for every target hit by Chain Lightning.
This has a slight positive impact on Elemental's mobility and a huge impact on the usability of Earthquake and should result in a significant buff to Elemental's AoE damage capabilities in many real combat situations.
Elemental's 2-piece tier 17 bonus value has been cut in half, granting 1% multistrike damage per charge consumed instead of 2%.
Elemental's 4-piece tier 17 bonus value has been increased slightly, requiring 12 charges to trigger instead of 15.
Versatility granted by Restoration's 2-piece PvP bonus has been increased from 780 to 975.
Restoration's PvP 4-piece bonus triggers at 50% health instead of 35%, and consumes 4 Earth Shield charges instead of 3.

Big Buck Hunter Pro Adventure Review: Hunting big game on Windows
Paul Acevedo
The original Big Buck Hunter Pro game for Windows Phone had the misfortune of launching right before Windows Phone 8 last year. It ran a bit poorly on early Windows Phone 7 devices, so many of us looked forward to improved performance on Windows Phone 8. Unfortunately, the game proved incompatible with the new mobile OS and remains that way almost a year later.
On the brighter side, developer Merge Interactive and Microsoft released a Windows 8 and RT version entitled Big Buck Hunter Pro Adventure earlier this year. On top of an awkwardly long name, Adventure brings all the fun of the Windows Phone and original arcade game, a bounty of extra content, and a new helping of Xbox Achievements. Get the full rundown after the break.
Adventures in animal shooting
The new Adventure mode is a longer and slightly less linear than the traditional arcade mode. By default it consists of two large campaigns: Whitetail Deer and Elk. Each of these offers Easy, Medium, and Hard mini-campaigns with 25 levels (20 hunting and 5 bonus levels) a piece. That's 60 total hunting levels compared to the Windows Phone game's 30.
Each level has an optional side goal such as hitting a target from a certain distance or killing one-hit killing three targets. Completed levels can be replayed at any time for higher scores and ratings, greatly adding to the replay value.
The goal in each level (as always) is to kill all three defenseless male animals with your superior weaponry. Hitting the beasts' heads or hearts will kill them instantly, but otherwise they take exactly three shots to kill. Shoot a marginally more defenseless female animal and the level instantly ends. Hunters can however kill smaller critters like raccoons and birds for extra points.
The level ends after all three male animals are dead and gone or the player wings a female. The player then receives an overall rating based on animals killed and accuracy. To get a 5-star rating, you'll need to kill all three males with single shots AND hit all the optional critters in the level. That critter requirement asks a bit too much, but it really only affects Achievement hunters.
One of the highlights of the phone game was its assortment of six bonus games. Those games all return, plus 12 new ones (including DLC). Some of the more amusing additions include: 'Mars Needs Cattle,' in which players save cows from UFO abductors; the outer space 'Meteor Bash;' and a Beer Tapper-inspired 'Mugshot' that features a bevy of horrible nightmare ladies sliding mugs around a bar. The Dove Hunt game that ran so poorly on some Windows Phones runs beautifully on the Surface Pro.
Arcade mode returns
Those minigames can be played individually outside of Adventure mode in the Classic mode. To unlock Classic, just complete any Adventure mode campaign.
Classic is actually the entire Windows Phone of Big Buck Hunter Pro. Players can choose to take on one 'Trek' (five hunting levels) or a full three-trek game. Adventure mode is longer and less linear in nature, making Classic slightly redundant. But it's still a cool bonus.
The only thing Classic mode is missing compared to the actual arcade version of Bick Buck Hunter Pro is four types of animals: Antelope, Bighorn Sheep, Moose, and Caribou. But all four animals are available as In-App Purchases. One animal costs $1.99, while the pack of all four sells for $5.99.
What do you get by buying premium animals? Each one adds three new treks to Classic mode, three new campaigns to Adventure mode, and three new locations. The optional $5.99 purchase essentially triples the length of the game. The DLC sadly doesn't add new Achievements, though it will make the one for killing a thousand bucks far less boring.
Windows 8 controls
The arcade Big Buck Hunter games use a light gun, which Windows 8 obviously lacks. But the touch screen controls work just fine. One finger can tap anywhere on screen to shoot, while tapping the bottom of the screen with another finger reloads.
If you're playing on a PC or touch screen just isn't your thing, you can also opt for either mouse only or mouse and keyboard controls. The left mouse button fires and the right button reloads. The spacebar also reloads, which I find easiest for rapidly firing and reloading.
Whichever control method you pick, aiming is slightly inaccurate by design. See, in the Big Buck Hunter games, your shot doesn't automatically land in the center of the aiming reticule. It can hit anywhere within the reticule's circle. I assume the inaccuracy originated as a design decision in the arcade game in order to make the relatively simple act of killing harmless animals more challenging. It's a little annoying in the home game, but you get used to it.
Censorship, bugs, and performance
The Windows Phone game unnecessarily removed the live-action female models found in every other version of the game, and the same applies to the Windows 8 game as well. Shame on whichever person at Microsoft asked for their removal.
The phone game also included a couple of online features: 'Arcade Finder' (locate a nearby arcade machine) and 'Coin-Op Login' (share scores with the arcade game). However, neither feature actually worked properly, making them extremely useless. They have been omitted from Adventure.
More troubling, I experienced a number of graphical glitches when playing on my gaming laptop. Textures often flicker in and out, especially in the snow levels (as pictured above). These glitches don't happen when running on the (significantly less powerful) Surface Pro, so they're not a universal problem.
Possible texture glitches aside, Adventure looks quite a bit better than the Windows Phone game or even a slightly attractive second cousin. Well, you can't legally marry this game in most states, but it does have a graphics slider tucked away in the Help & Options menu. This allows for a smooth game whether played on Windows RT or full-on Windows 8.
The only Windows Phone Achievement of real difficulty involved playing a perfect round of the 'Dove Hunt' bonus game. Due to performance issues, it proved impossible for many players. Adventure has a single Achievement for perfecting all the default bonus games, but that should prove easy thanks to this version's superior performance.
Two long-term Achievements involve killing a total of 1,000 bucks and 100 does. The doe one feels a bit steep since players are NOT supposed to shoot does. But I suppose a fair number of female animals will get hit by accident as players grind towards the thousand males and other Achievements.
'Wiped 'em out' is the hardest Achievement by far. It requires players to 5-star every level in all three of an animal's Adventure campaigns by killing every buck in one shot AND every critter. That's 60 levels to perfect! It's an annoying requirement, but at least we can replay levels individually. Unless you REALLY love the game, you probably won't want to bother going after it.
Sorrowful as the lack of Big Buck Hunter Pro on Windows Phone 8 is, at least its big brother Big Buck Hunter Pro Adventure turned out very well on Windows 8. It comes with twice as many levels as the phone game by default and runs far better. Also, it supports cloud saves! Fans of gun or hunting games can't go wrong with this one.
Should you grab the four DLC animals? Well, six bucks gets 240 more hunting levels and 12 new bonus games to play. Just like the main game, the DLC represents a fair value. Big fans of the game will love the extra content, whereas players who are only in it for the Achievements can probably skip it.

#justice minister #resignation
Justice Minister Cho Kuk offers to resign
All News 14:04 October 14, 2019
SEOUL, Oct. 14 (Yonhap) -- South Korean Justice Minister Cho Kuk, who was widely seen as the key man to push ahead with the president's prosecution reform drive, announced his resignation on Monday.
"I was mere 'kindling' for reforming the prosecution. My role as 'kindling' has come to an end," Cho said in a statement.
The surprise announcement comes roughly a month after Cho, who previously served as a senior presidential aide for civil affairs, was appointed justice minister.
Justice Minister Cho Kuk announces prosecution reform measures at the Gwacheon Government Complex in southern Seoul on Oct. 14, 2019. (Yonhap)
Just a few hours earlier, Cho held his second-ever press briefing as a justice minister on measures to reform the prosecution.
Cho mentioned the ongoing probes over corruption allegations involving his family.
"I felt apologetic to the people regarding ongoing probes over my family, but put in my best each day as justice minister to reform the prosecution. But now my role has come to an end," he said.
"Now I hope to put everything down and take care of my family, who are going through the toughest and most painful time of their lives."
Cho's family, including his wife, daughter and son, have been questioned by the prosecution several times regarding suspicions over the family's private equity investment and college admission.
A court procedure involving his wife, a university professor surnamed Chung, was scheduled to start Friday.


I am hoping someone will be able to help.
Attached is a training performance file.
There is already a VBA code, which I managed to make with some support from forums and my little knowledge.
We started a new training topic which is only applicable to some staff and i am finding it difficult to achieve this.
So the VBA formula that currently runs is looking at: The range where the dates are inputted and makes sure that it is within the last 12 months, the date i need the percentage for and the column where leavers are marked.
I need on top of this to have another option where I can select the "Designation" either as a range or as text (range is preferred), to only look at staff that started work after the date I am looking at.
The formula should look at a range of two columns and count the biggest date in a single row, and only count if it is within the last 12 months, then to see if they are marked as leavers, then to see if the designation is correct (Based on what I select), also that the staff start date is less than the date i want the percentage for and give me a percentage for the date.
I would also like a formula without the range to look at dates so that I can use it as my denominator.

We now have a reputation system in place. If my reply helped please "Like" the reply by clicking the "Like" icon at bottom right of my reply.
I am rather confused about just what it is you require.
Where do you want the UDF result to show?
You say you need a percentage, but what as a percentage of what?
No idea what you mean here!
Can you manually enter your desired result, show how that result was obtained and re-attach the file.
Sorry I wasnt very clear.
Please see attached, I have amended some dates to fir what I am trying to explain.
Thanks, that makes it clearer.
Sorry to bump the post, but is anyone able to assist?
I have increased the pay to £25 if that helps.
Sorry for the delay, been very busy here.
Your file is ready, I will PM you with my PayPal details and attach the file here on receipt of payment.
Just one issue, I am not able to select the designations? I would need to dictate to the formula which group of designation for which training.
Also, am I able to select columns that are not next to each other, I.e if the "previous" was say 10 columns away?
Sorry, my misunderstanding, I thought the UDF would always refer to Unqualified. I will look into that and amend the UDF accordingly.
Yes, any 2 columns can be selected irrespective of their location in the table. Just make sure "Previous" is the second column header in the formula.
Are you able to make it so that I can select ann header and all dsignations in that header are included? We may have more groups in the future, Clinical, maintenanence etc..
The Designation Table can be modified whenever needed and the code will work. The only thing now is that if the Designation Table is moved to another sheet then the code will need modifying where indicated to reflect the new sheet location for the Designation Table.
I just edited the code in last post, make sure you use the edited code!

Development of a Finite Element Model for Blast Brain Injury and the Effects of CSF Cavitation

Cameron R. Bass1
Annals of Biomedical Engineering volume 40, pages1530–1544(2012)Cite this article
Blast-related traumatic brain injury is the most prevalent injury for combat personnel seen in the current conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, yet as a research community, we still do not fully understand the detailed etiology and pathology of this injury. Finite element (FE) modeling is well suited for studying the mechanical response of the head and brain to blast loading. This paper details the development of a FE head and brain model for blast simulation by examining both the dilatational and deviatoric response of the brain as potential injury mechanisms. The levels of blast exposure simulated ranged from 50 to 1000 kPa peak incident overpressure and 1–8 ms in positive-phase duration, and were comparable to real-world blast events. The frontal portion of the brain had the highest pressures corresponding to the location of initial impact, and peak pressure attenuated by 40–60% as the wave propagated from the frontal to the occipital lobe. Predicted brain pressures were primarily dependent on the peak overpressure of the impinging blast wave, and the highest predicted brain pressures were 30% less than the reflected pressure at the surface of blast impact. Predicted shear strain was highest at the interface between the brain and the CSF. Strain magnitude was largely dependent on the impulse of the blast, and primarily caused by the radial coupling between the brain and deforming skull. The largest predicted strains were generally less than 10%, and occurred after the shock wave passed through the head. For blasts with high impulses, CSF cavitation had a large role in increasing strain levels in the cerebral cortex and periventricular tissues by decoupling the brain from the skull. Relating the results of this study with recent experimental blast testing suggest that a rate-dependent strain-based tissue injury mechanism is the source primary blast TBI.

Wynonna Judd Faces Drunk Driving Rap
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/wynonna-judd-faces-drunk-driving-rap
NOVEMBER 13--Country singer Wynonna Judd was arrested early today for drunk driving in Nashville. Following a traffic stop, cops detected the smell of booze on the 39-year-old performer, whose eyes were watery and dilated. Judd, who told officers that she couldn't recall how many drinks she had polished off, agreed to a Breathalyzer--and promptly blew a .175, more than twice the Tennessee limit of .08. Judd was released after posting $500 bond. Earlier this month, Judd hosted the Country Music Television program "Morning After: The 40 Greatest Drinking Songs of Country Music." Promoting the show, she offered these tips: "Here's some important barroom etiquette rules everyone needs to know. If you meet someone in a bar and forget their name, it's always permissible to call them Baby or Darlin'. However, it is never permissible to call them Babycakes or Honeypants, OK? And lastly, all bartenders everywhere, can always be called Joe." (1 page)

Orthodontic Braces: Preventing Playground Teasing
Sticks and Stones and The Halo Effect
Beauty is good. Beauty is character. Beauty is competence. That's the "halo effect." And the halo effect is alive and well and living on playgrounds everywhere.
What's the effect of the halo effect?
Not so good, if you're one of the unfortunates without a halo. Especially if you're a child called Beaver or Dopey or Goofy.
Not so long ago, a study of British schoolchildren revealed that the appearance of teeth was the fourth most common target for teasing. Children suffered under nicknames like Bugs Bunny, Fang and Dracula. Furthermore, children who were teased were twice as likely to be harassed, subject to verbal or physical intimidation, lying or other abuses, than children who were not teased.
Although height, weight and hair were also factors in teasing, ridicule about their teeth caused children the greatest amount of unhappiness.
Researchers were concerned that exposure to the sustained taunts and insults of peers would predispose some children to a lowered self-confidence and self-image.
The Solution? Orthodontics — The Sooner The Better
Thousands of children need early care — some as young as three years old. Early diagnosis and monitoring allows us to take full advantage of a time when your child's bone and facial structure are easier to shape.
If you think the odds of a young child having orthodontic problems are remote, consider these facts: Two out of three people have orthodontic problems, which should be treated. A fourth of the problems are severe, says the American Association of Orthodontists. Orthodontic defects aren't limited to protruding teeth or underbites.
Often the problems relate to the overall structure of the mouth and face. Frequently they don't show up in a smile at all.
That's why an orthodontic checkup and braces, if necessary, should be a part of every child's health care program.

Final Declaration of the 25th International Anti-Fascist and Anti-imperialist Youth Camp
On August 10, 2016, the 25th International Anti-Fascist and Anti-Imperialist Youth Camp (IAFAIYC) ended, which began on August 3 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, under the slogan: For solidarity, peace and freedom. Hundreds of democratic, progressive, environmentalist, leftist, feminist, anti-fascist, anti-imperialist and revolutionary youths met to analyze the realities of each people, coming from: Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Haiti, United States, Canada, Colombia, England, Venezuela, Turkey, Germany, Brazil, Mexico.
These were days of important work, of profound analysis on the issues dealt with that, together with cultural and sports activities, promoted the integration of the countries and peoples taking part.
An important part of the youth who are promoting changes in the world and are fighting in different continents and regions met in the Dominican Republic to discuss their realities, to make known their demands and to agree on the international tasks of the youths who desire profound transformations for their peoples. The 25th Camp demands from us a fundamental task, the work for the 26th IAFAIYC to be held in another corner of the planet in 2018 and that already demands our preparation and work.
The discussions taken up during the Camp reflect the common problems that we young people have in the world: unemployment, exploitation, lack of access to education, discrimination and criminalization, among others, which the capitalist system subjects us to permanently, as it does to other social sectors of each of our peoples.
The discussions taken up during the Camp show us that the enemies of the youths and peoples of the world are common: the ruling classes of each of our countries, the bourgeoisies; the imperialist powers that are trying at all times to secure the economic, cultural and political dependence of our peoples; the international monopolies that take over our territories to loot our natural resources and condemn the workers to low-paid work-days. We thus declare that the fundamental opponents of the rights and interests of the youths and peoples of the world are capitalism and imperialism.
In various countries, imperialism's thirst for profit is promoting a tendency toward fascism in certain states and therefore they use the most reactionary violence, they promote the criminalization of social protest, terrorism, drug trafficking, para-militarism, and through these means of intimidation and oppression they are trying to contain the determined struggle that is being taken up in the different countries and these phenomena are being aggravated.
In this context, on October 10, 2015, in Ankara Turkey an attack took place on a demonstration of democratic sectors that rejected the repressive and anti-popular policy of the Erdogan regime. It left 245 injured and 95 dead, of whom four were young comrades who were part of the 24th IAFAIYC held in Izmir, Turkey, two years ago.
On February 3, 2014, a communist militant from the state of Morelos, Mexico, Gustavo Alejandro Salgado Delgado, who began his political action at the 19th IAFAIYC in Mexico, was assassinated by the state. Today the youth of the world are holding high the banners of justice for these fallen comrades, they are denouncing the repressive actions of these regimes and their moves toward fascism, which are a reflection of their weakness, because their institutions have lost their authority and are no longer able to continue ruling as they did before.
During the 25th IAFAIYC, the youths of Venezuela, the popular organizations and the sectors of the Left endured the forced disappearance and later assassination of comrade Julio Blanco, who attended and was one of the organizers of the 23rd International Camp held in that country in 2012.
For our comrades fallen in the midst of struggle, who together with us and thousands more men and women dreamed of a different world, in which we would all be truly free, we raise our voices and our fists demanding justice and prison for those responsible. We make a determined commitment to continue their battles in each of our countries until we achieve victory.
Those of us who attended the 25th IAFAIYC came from different corners of the planet and we discussed our struggles and battles. In Europe hundreds of thousands of young people have taken to the streets to reject the neoliberal labor reforms aimed at curtailing the rights of young workers, subjecting them to increasingly harsh work days, with ever-decreasing wages in a context in which the capitalist states are strengthening their adjustment policies, which are anti-worker, anti-people and they are trying to place this burden on the peoples and make its consequences fall on the peoples, workers and youths. In the Americas, banners are raised in defense of public, secular, quality and universal education against the ruling corrupt right-wing regimes, which discriminate against the youth. We demand a greater budget for social services; we reject the anti-popular laws and policies in different countries that curtail the rights and freedoms of youth. In all the corners of the planet we constantly dream and struggle to win a world radically different from the one that capitalism gives us and to which imperialism subjects us; we struggle for life and freedom, for a real democracy so that we who create the wealth are the ones who we can define the future of our peoples.
With the same force and intensity, we discussed our problems, we expressed our solidarity with the peoples struggling for their independence, for recognition of their territories such as Palestine and the Kurdish people, against forced displacement, against the discriminatory policies that legitimize wars and hunger to which capitalism and imperialism subject millions of men and women in countries such as Kenya, Somalia and Haiti.
We express our solidarity and support for the men and women of the world who have become refugees due to the aggression promoted by the imperialist powers, which are taking place in regions such as the Middle East. We condemn the imperialist wars that seek to plunder the resources of the peoples; we reject the interventions of the world powers that seek to expand their zones of influence and increase their degree of subjection; we want no more wars in which the young people are forced to become cannon fodder of the violence of the system, we demand peace and self-determination for the peoples of the world.
We emphasize the role of women as essential protagonists in the social transformations and the productive development of the peoples; we recognize and reject the conditions of super-exploitation and structural violence of which they are victims. We reject all forms of sexual discrimination and oppression as we condemn their patriarchal and misogynist character, a product of the imperialist-capitalist system.
The unity of the workers of the world is fundamental for our demands and aspirations to be met, to stop the policies of terror of the capitalist states; it is indispensable to strengthen the principle of internationalism, to promote solidarity among the youths of the world. We are building the unity of the youths, workers and peoples through the exchange of experiences, broad and democratic discussion of our problems, political accords that denounce the evils of capitalism and imperialism in all corners of the planet. We are following and supporting the struggles that are unfolding in different countries, and especially the struggle and mobilization that we are developing in each of our countries in defense of our rights and interests and those of our peoples. Only in this way can we stop the looting, war, fascism and the whole imperialist policy imposed on the broad majority subjected to and exploited by capitalism and imperialism.
This camp is a reflection of the joy and rebellion of the youths of the world, of the renewing character of those of us who feel angry and demand profound transformations in each of our countries. All the energies of the youths of the world, all the battles that we take up should be aimed in one direction, against capitalism and imperialism, in order to break the chains of exploitation, domination, oppression, discrimination and dependency to which we are subjected. hey must be directed toward profound changes, that will guarantee the victory of the emancipation of each of our peoples. The course that the young people of the planet who are struggling against capitalism, imperialism and fascism must take should be one of the revolution and the building of a new society, a socialist society.
Let us lift up our voices, our struggle and the unity of the anti-fascist and anti-imperialist youth of the world!
Santo Domingo Dominican Republic, August 10, 2016
Organizations that Signed the Resolutions of the 25th International Anti-Fascist and Anti-Imperialist Youth Camp:
National Student Coordinator – Mexico
Union of Revolutionary Youth of Mexico
Federation of Socialist Peasant Students of Mexico
Movement of Popular Organizations – Haiti
Union of Rebel Youth – Brazil
Delegation of Puerto Rico
Current of Anti-Fascist and Anti-Imperialist Youth – Venezuela
Caribbean Youth – Dominican Republic
Flavio Suero Student Front – Dominican Republic
The 25th International Camp discussed the particular problems of each of the participating countries; their debates allow us to affirm and endorse the present political agreements, which express the analysis and denunciation of their problems and the banners of struggle that the youths of each peoples are taking up in their respective territories.
Venezuela is facing an economic, political and social crisis. This is taking place in the context of the general crisis of capitalism, of the condition imposed by the continuing dependency and is now in a process of renegotiating its economy, affected mainly by the low price of oil and the sabotage by the bourgeoisie. It has a democratic and popular government, but one that has acted by conciliating the interests of the proletarian class as a solution to the crisis. All these factors, coupled with a strong imperialist offensive, are contributing to a sharpening of the contradictions of the class struggle in this country.
The different scenarios were presented, in which the bourgeoisie is seeking as soon as possible to retake full power in order to suppress the popular movement. Against this this revolutionary youth, together with the workers, peasants and community organization, is raising the banner of anti-imperialist revolutionary popular unity, UPRA, which is the platform that today calls on us to bring together a broad accumulation of all the popular, democratic and revolutionary forces against imperialist intervention and fascist reaction.
The 25th IAFAIYC held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, between August 3 and 10, 2016, expresses its solidarity with the youth, workers and peoples of Ecuador who are promoting unity and struggle in opposition to the government of Rafael Correa that, with a leftist discourse, is promoting reforms aimed at consolidating capitalism and affecting the popular sectors.
We representatives of the 12 countries in Europe, Asia and the Americas join with the struggle taken up by the student movement against the government policy aimed at reserving education for the elite and imposing improvised reforms that threaten educational rights, as well as the repression against hundreds of students and social leaders. We support – in that sense – the demand for the dismissal of Education Minister Augusto Espinosa who is currently facing a political trial for incompetence; we stand in solidarity with Cotopaxi Technical, Andean and FLACSO [Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences] universities that are being attacked by the government. We reject the attempt to make illegal the historic teachers' union, the National Union of Educators, a measure that is one more fruitless attempt by the regime to silence the voice of the largest union in Ecuador, the representative of the teachers and promoter of an emancipating education. Finally, we wish for the success of the National Accord for Change, a unitary candidacy based on the unity achieved among union sectors, the indigenous and social movements that, after defeating the government in the days of popular mobilization, is prepared to take part in the next electoral process and defeat the right-wing that is governing and the traditional sectors that seek to recover lost ground.
Education has a multiple effect on human development, therefore in our country the lack of this tool forces us to accept the capitalist and imperialist propositions; in this regard, we are firm in our resolve to fight against the empire by means of Education.
As anti-imperialist youths, we understand that it is indispensable to support the struggle for the liberation of the peoples. That is why we express our full support for the struggle for the independence of Puerto Rico. This is a necessity to weaken the imperial domination in the Caribbean region and our Americas. In addition, this will save our youth from the oppression of the empire that, besides expressing itself through its neoliberalism, is now taking on new intensity with Fiscal Control Board, established by the Congress of the United States. Similarly, we understand the importance of the political integration among the rank and file movements of our peoples. We propose an Antillean federation as a political tool to concretize and give strength to the struggle to expel the Yankee invader from our territories in the Caribbean.
Moreover, we demand the freedom of all political prisoners and prisoners of war in the Yankee jails. We must never leave behind our comrades in the dungeons. They are revolutionary comrades who understood the consequences of the revolutionary struggle and took it up with discipline and commitment.
The development of the policies in Europe is the result of the war in the Middle East and the refugee crisis. After the explosions in some European countries, a state of emergency was declared, as in France and Belgium, which is why many young people and the opposition have been confronted by force. The right-wing parties and organizations in Europe have used the explosions and refugees in order to spread their ideas.
Hundreds of young people have taken to the streets against such ideas with an anti-fascist struggle.
Moreover, the workers and youth in France are taking up the fight against the anti-democratic, labor law; for many months, the population has taken to the streets fighting for their future.
Day by day fascism is gaining strength in Turkey, under the shadow of explosions and war; one single man, Erdogan, is increasing persecution and under him, a one-party dictatorship is being built. Due to this, the working class, the laboring people, youth and women are forced to live in a world of darkness and oppression. However, if they hide the sun from us we will fight in the darkness.
As youth of Turkey, we will continue our struggle for bread, peace, work and freedom. We say to the world that what we have done here we will bring back to our country in order to strengthen international solidarity.
The regime's offensive is against the youth and the whole Mexican people. The implementation of the 12 structural reforms is to ensure maximum profit and the plunder of our natural resources by imperialism, mainly U.S. imperialism.
To ensure this, the state is imposing measures with a fascist content; Mexico is now experiencing an arduous struggle due to the events of September 26 and 27, 2014, in Iguala, Guerrero, where the comrades of the Raul Isidro Burgos rural teacher's college in Ayotzinapa were victims of one of the most shocking repressions in the country's history. This led to the assassination of three student teachers by firearms with one of them being killed in the most brutal manner, with his face mutilated, and the arrest and disappearance of 43 student teachers by the state.
Also the National Coordinator of Education Workers (CNTE) is carrying out a nationwide strike calling for unity of all sectors of the country to combat the structural reforms, primarily the educational ones. Despite the repression that this process has undergone with a new massacre of 14 people in Nochixtlan, Oaxaca, last June 19, today we declare that the struggle against imperialism and its fascist violence should be taken up by the Mexican youth and people, defending in unity the rights we have gained and building a revolutionary process that will transform this system from its roots.
For the presentation alive of the 43 student teachers of Ayotzinapa 43 who have been detained-disappeared by the state!
Stop state terrorism; free the political prisoners!
Solidarity and struggle with the CNTE; down with the educational reforms and all the structural reforms!
Unity and struggle of all the anti-fascist and anti-imperialist youth!
At the 25th IAFAIYC we state that we are living through a time of great political and economic backwardness in the country. This was no counter-revolution, because the 13 years of the Workers' Party (PT) and its policy of class conciliation, called "coalition presidentialism," in order to hide its actual content, never created any obstacles for the development of capitalism and the domination of the bourgeois class in the economy and politics of the country. This was done in order to protect the bosses of the workers and ensure the implementation of this policy. It is a fact that people had a number of guaranteed rights, particularly the right to demonstrate and in reality there were social programs that improved the living conditions of the poorest people, the real wage increase, the structural or deep transformation of the economy and politics. We are experiencing a period of great struggles of the youth, such as the more than 700 occupations of schools, the resistance in the universities against the cutbacks to student enrollment by the illegitimate government and the general strike of institutions and the demonstrations Temer Must Go that are now taking place at the Olympics.
The Brazilian youth have always taken part with all our energy in the main struggles of the country, in support of the workers and all our people. Today we continue to play the combative role on the road to major changes for solidarity, peace and freedom in the world; we are on the march towards socialism.
The young people taking part in the 25th Anti-Imperialist and Anti-Fascist International Youth Camp, IAFAIYC-2016, held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, from August 3 to 10, 2016, extend their embrace of solidarity and combat to the struggle of the Colombian people for their social liberation, for freedoms and rights and for the structural changes that the immense majority of the exploited and oppressed desire. In addition, we raise the banner of the importance of placing at the center of the debate the fight for a true peace with redistributive social justice, that is, a peace that challenges the profound relations of exploitation of man by man and the economic model that this entails.
These demands can only achieve the importance that they deserve, to the degree that a broad national dialogue on the situation in the country and the roots of the conflict is created, in order to begin the call for a National Constituent Assembly, of a democratic character and with full participation of the sectors and organizations that represent the people, analyzing all their demands and providing the conditions to choose a patriotic government of the people and for the people.
Long live the just struggles of the Colombian people!
Long live Peace with redistributive social justice!
National Constituent Assembly now!
The political system that prevails in the Dominican Republic excludes the youth from politics that are directed to the full development of their dreams and desires. The youth have been deprived of their right to study, to work and even sometimes their right to live, as a result of governments that have had as their main objective to keep our people steeped in ignorance and thus to perpetuate themselves in power without difficulty.
Equity and the inclusion in the decision-making of the state should have a wider participation of the youth. There must be guarantees for developing a program that truly represents us in all areas of the state, which is responsible for ensuring the people's rights.
To summarize, organize and direct actions to take the power away from the ruling class is the most urgent task of the progressive and revolutionary youth of the Dominican Republic.
Long live the 25th International Anti-Fascist and Anti-Imperialist Youth Camp!!!
Long live the solidarity and unity of the peoples!!!

8 Atrocities Committed Against Puerto Rico by the US
by Jose L Vega Santiago
Puerto Rico is an unincorporated territory of the United States located in the Caribbean Sea. It is a small island with a population of almost four million citizens. On July 25, 1898, during the Spanish American War, United States invaded Puerto Rico and commenced a long relationship between the two. With this list, I'll try to underline eight atrocities committed by the United States in Puerto Rico.
8) La Operacion
La Operacion is a documentary that highlights the female sterilization policy. This policy was implanted by the United States as part of FDR's "Operation Bootstrap" in a move toward industrialization. By 1974 35% of the Puerto Rican women were sterile and this number reached 39% by 1981. The problem with this sterilization policy is that most of the Puerto Rican women were misinformed about the sterilization process and most of the women didn't know what the consequences would be.
7) Vieques
Vieques is an island municipality of Puerto Rico located in the northeastern Caribbean, it is also known as "La isla nena." Vieques has a total area of 134.4sq miles and is inhabited by more than 9,000 viequenses. From 1941 to May 1, 2003 the United States Navy used Vieques for naval training and testing. From 1941 to 1942 the U.S. Navy expropriated 22,000 of Vieques 33,000 acres, by 1963 the Navy owned 22,600 acres of Vieques, almost 70% of the island.
In 1948 they commenced bombing exercise which continued for 55 years. Over the course of their stay, more than 22 million pounds of military and industrial waste was deposited on the island. The island was bombarded an average 180 days per year and in 1998 the Navy dropped 23,000 bombs on the island. Professor Jose Seguinot Barbosa, Director of the Geography Department in the University of Puerto Rico at Rio Piedras, states in his study "Vieques, the Ecology of an island under siege" that the eastern tip of the island constitutes an area with more craters per kilometer than the moon.
As a result of all this, the cancer rate in Vieques is 27% higher than in the mainland. Most of the elements and toxic compounds dumped in the island were arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, depleted uranium and napalm. Studies show that the ground water in Vieques is contaminated by nitrates and explosives. Testing done in the Lcacos Bay showed concentrations of cadmium in crabs 1,000 times greater than the World Health Organizations tolerable ingestion maximum dosage. Heavy metals have been found in other species of fish.
6) Radiation Experiments
Dr. Pedro Albizu Campos was a prominent leader in the independence movement of Puerto Rico. Albizu was imprisoned numerous times for seditious conspiracy against the United States. While in prison, Albizu said he was a subject of human experimentation without consent or warning. The U.S. Government's response was that Albizu was insane. The president of the Cuban Cancer Association, Dr. Orlando Damuy, traveled to Puerto Rico to examine Albizu. Dr.Damuy reported burns on Albizu's body caused by intense radiation. It is said that they placed a metal clip and film on Albizu's skin and the clip radiated into the film.
Albizu died in 1965 and more than 75,000 Puerto Ricans carried his remains to the Old San Juan Cemetery. In 1994, under the administration of ex-president Bill Clinton, the United States Department of Energy disclosed that human radiation experiments had been conducted without consent on prisoners in Puerto Rico during the 1950s and 1970s.
5) Dr. Cornelius Rhoads
Dr. Cornelius Rhoads was an American doctor and pathologist that became infamous for performing several objectionable experiments with human beings. In 1931, sponsored by the Rockefeller Institute, Rhoads deliberately infected several Puerto Rican citizens with cancer cells. Supposedly, thirteen of the patients died. Dr. Rhoads once said in a written document: "The Porto Ricans [sic] are the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever to inhabit this sphere… I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off eight and transplanting cancer into several more… All physicians take delight in the abuse and torture of the unfortunate subjects." An investigation done in 2003 by bioethicist Dr. Jay Katz found that the accusations were well founded and documented.
4) Ponce Massacre
The Ponce Massacre, which took place on March 21, 1937, was one of the most violent episodes in the history of the twentieth century in Puerto Rico. The activity was announced in El Mundo newspaper on March 19, indicating that the meeting of the Nationalists in Ponce and adjacent areas would be at 2pm in front of the Nationalist Party Headquarters in Ponce. That morning, Colonel Orbeta, the chief of police, traveled to Ponce with the intention of prohibiting the Nationalist activity. A week before, the Nationalists had requested authorization for the march from Mayor José Tormos Diego, who was away from Puerto Rico on vacation and had left Dr. William Gelpí as acting mayor. Gelpí authorized Casimiro Berenguer, the military instructor of the "Cadetes de la Republica" to disseminate information to the effect that permission had to be granted by Mayor Tormos Diego. The Nationalists had filed the request despite the fact that the laws of Puerto Rico allowed parades or public acts to be held without the need to ask permission.
The police under the command of Guillermo Soldevila, the head of the force in Juana Díaz, and Felipe Blanco cordoned off the demonstrators, using expert marksmen mobilized from all the police stations in Puerto Rico. The police covered the corner where the Nationalist Council was located on Marina Street, between Aurora and Jobos Streets. Meanwhile, the Cadets of the Republic and the Nurses Corps organized in three columns. The cadets wore a uniform of white trousers, black shirts, black caps, and on the left sleeve, a Calatravian cross. Leading the column was cadet captain Tomás López de Victoria. The young women formed up as the nurses corps, wearing white uniforms and marching behind the young men. Bringing up the rear was the band, made up of five or six musicians. Nearby, on Aurora and Marina Streets, almost in front of where the Council was located, the families of the cadets came together with other Nationalists who had come to see the parade. The band played "La Borinqueña," and the captain of the Cadet Corps, Tomás López de Victoria, immediately gave the order to step off. At the precise moment when they were about to do so, Soldevila raised a whip, put it to the chest of López de Victoria, and told him that they could not march. Police officer Armando Martínez ran from the corner in front of the Nationalist Council toward Marina Street, firing once into the air, which unleashed volleys of shots from arms of different calibers. Eight people died instantly and others died later, for a total of nineteen. Police officers Ceferino Loyola and Eusebio Sánchez died victims of the crossfire of their fellows. Georgina Maldonado, a 13 year old-girl, an employee of a nearby gas station, José Antonio Delgado, a member of the National Guard who was passing by, and fourteen Nationalists also died.
A number of citizens of Ponce requested that the American Civil Liberties Union investigate what happened on March 21. An Investigating Commission on the causes of the Ponce Massacre was established, presided over by Atty. Arthur Garfield Hays, a US citizen delegated by the ACLU, with Emilio S. Belaval, the president of the Puerto Rico Atheneum, Mariano Acosta Velarde, the president of the Puerto Rico Bar Association, Francisco M. Zeno, the editor of La Correspondencia newspaper, Antonio Ayuso Valdivieso, the director of El Imparcial newspaper, and Manuel Díaz García, a former president of the Medical Association. The commission carried out an exhaustive investigation of the facts and in its report placed the blame on Governor Winship. It referred to the happenings as the Ponce Massacre. [Source]
3) The Pill
In the early 1950s the Puerto Rican women were used for experimentation in the making of the first birth control pill. The Pill was invented by Dr. Gregory Goodwin Pincus but strict laws in the U.S. didn't permit full scale experimentation. In 1955 Dr. Pincus and his colleague, Harvard obstetrician and gynecologist Dr. John Rock visited Puerto Rico and then decided it was a perfect place to test out their pill due to the lack of anti-birth control laws.
The trials began in Rio Piedras but quickly moved throughout the poor sectors in the island. The experiments was based on poor and working class women; these women were not told the pill was experimental and were not told the negative effects the pill could have on them. Three young women died during these experiments and no investigations were conducted to determine cause of death.
2) Colonization
The effect of the colonization is very evident on the Puerto Rican people. "La ley de mordaza" was implanted by Governor Jesus T. Piñero on May 21, 1948 which did not permit any Puerto Rican to show any patriotism or even display the Puerto Rican Flag. Puerto Ricans were given citizenship in 1917 with the Jones Act, Puerto Ricans were considered alien in United States but once the Jones Act took effect more than 20,000 Puerto Ricans were drafted by the army. With the United States came huge changes in the educational system making American values and principles the main teachings in schools and even forcing teachers to teach English. It wasn't until 1998 that Puerto Ricans changed back to Spanish as their main language in schools.
The United States implanted an economy that depended on them; this destroyed the agriculture in Puerto Rico. In less than 20 years, 90 cents of each dollar that a Puerto Rican spent went to the United States. This made Puerto Rico one of the poorest countries in America. The Puerto Ricans still do not have a defined status; Puerto Rico has one of the worst economies in America and an unemployment rate of more than 16%. Puerto Ricans don't have the same rights for their social security or even veterans' benefits, even though they meet the same requirements than the people that live in the states.
1) Puerto Rico's Status
Puerto Rico has been a US territory for more than 100 years and has been defined as a commonwealth since 1952. Puerto Ricans cannot vote for the US President or Congress but they have to obey federal laws. A Resident Commissioner represents Puerto Ricans in Congress but he cannot vote on legislation. This affects Puerto Ricans every day. An example of this is the Cabotage laws implanted in 1920 by the Jones Act. This law says that Puerto Ricans must use the U.S. Merchant Marine for the oceanic transportation of any goods bought by Puerto Rico. This is a problem because Puerto Rico, being an island, does not produce everything it consumes and is obliged in the use of the U.S. Merchant Marine. The U.S. Merchant Marine is one of the most expensive merchant marines in the world. It is estimated that if Puerto Ricans were not forced to use the U.S. Merchant Marine prices in all imported products would drop 40% and it would save Puerto Ricans $150 million in product export, this would lower the prices of the exported products and make Puerto Rico a more competitive country in the world market.
You could think that Puerto Rico has the Cabotage laws applied because it hasn't defined their political status but this in not true because other US territories like the US Virgin Islands don't have to comply with these laws. Another fact is that the Puerto Rican trade produces 25% of The U.S. Merchant Marine's income.

With the Workers and the Peoples in the Independent Struggle for the Revolution and Socialism
16th Seminar on the International Problems of the Revolution in Latin America
Final Statement
In Latin America the new millennium arrived with the struggle of the workers, youth, peasants, women and peoples against the structural adjustment policies implemented by governments at the service of powerful local oligarchic groups and imperialist finance capital. The increasing social discontent, manifested in street mobilisations, partial and general strikes and even popular uprisings that put an end to reactionary and pro-imperialist governments, split the bourgeois institutions and accelerated the wearing out of the current model of capitalist accumulation, monitored by the centres of imperialist domination.
The fear grew among the socio-economic elites that the yearning for change and the desire to be protagonists of deep transformations was taking shape among the people. The progressive and left-wing political programmes, once seen as being obsolete and inapplicable, were embraced by the working and popular classes.
While in various countries of Latin America there are still openly right-wing governments explicitly sold out to imperialism, in others countries so-called alternative and progressive governments have emerged; in some of these, on certain occasions there have been actions of resistance towards policies of imperialism, which deserve the support of the peoples.
Recurring to their own political experience, bourgeois factions of various countries have manoeuvred to take advantage of the discontent of the masses for their own interests. They appear to make their own the programmes and proposals raised for years by the popular movement and the left-wing organisations against neo-liberalism and to achieve a sovereign development, under conditions of social fairness.
Nevertheless, the expectations and enthusiasm of the masses with those governments that promised to leave behind the past of disgrace and backwardness clash with reality when these governments carry out their real political programme and give away the natural wealth, at present mainly mines, to the foreign companies; when the foreign debt persists, although the capital comes from other imperialist centres; when popular protest is criminalised; when free trade negotiations and agreements are going ahead under different names; or, when governmental propaganda says more of what in reality is being carried out in the social sphere.
Even though discontent is arising among the workers, youth, peasants, women and peoples, it is a fact that, so far, these governments have had, to a certain degree, the capacity to neutralise and contain the social mobilisation. Without a doubt, that is a fruit of the ability of ideological-political manipulation by the bourgeois factions that, with the support of imperialism, are in the government; it is due to the carrying out of social welfare and patronage policies, to the presence of authoritarian leaders as heads of government who make wide use of demagogy and populist policies; but it is also due to the existing limits in the consciousness of the masses and the weaknesses from which the revolutionary and left-wing organisations still suffer.
Under these new conditions, the struggle that the workers and revolutionary organisations are unfolding is becoming more complex, since it is relatively clearer for the masses that they must confront and fight a government that is openly right-wing and linked to foreign capital, than one that demagogically claims to promote change and to affect the interests of the rich, even though in reality it is doing nothing more than propping up the whole system of domination by capital and defending the interests of the local ruling classes and of imperialist finance capital.
For the advance of the revolutionary struggle of the peoples, it is essential to unmask and defeat these sell-out, demagogic and populist governments that are causing serious damage to the development of the popular organisation and struggle. It is necessary to combat these governments functioning on behalf of the ruling system, but by no means should we play into the interests of the other bourgeois factions of the 'right' The struggle of the workers and peoples, with a class independence, to win social and national liberation forces them to fight and defeat one and the other bourgeois faction.
In order to fulfill the strategic intentions that drive us, we the political organisations, movements and parties committed to leading the revolution and socialism to victory must redouble our efforts to develop the political consciousness of the masses. That is possible mainly by unleashing the struggle for their particular demands and political banners in order to unmask the true nature of those governments. It is vital to promote an intense and systematic ideological-political offensive of the revolutionary ideals among the workers, youth, peasants, women and peoples; it is urgent to take advantage of all the opportunities that the bourgeois institutions allow for the political task and even to surpass these; it is necessary to persevere in the unity of the popular movement and of the political organisations of the left in order to isolate from the social movement those who, at the present time, are manipulating the yearnings for change of the peoples from positions of power.
Although, circumstantially, the populist governments have managed to partially restrain the struggle of the masses, it is certain that their material conditions of life and the historical limitations of these governments are forcing the masses to protest. Still more, the world scenario is inevitably affecting them from all sides and the sharpening of the general crisis of the capitalist system is causing the fighting response of the peoples, as can be observed in our region and in particular in Europe, with whose working class and youth we express our solidarity.
We, the organizations taking part in this 16th Seminar on the International Problems of the Revolution in Latin America, united in Quito from July 16 to 20, reiterate our internationalist duty and commitment to continue fighting for unity and solidarity among the peoples, to form – by means of concrete actions – a great anti-imperialist front. We uphold the right of the peoples to self-determination; we condemn all forms of foreign intervention and all actions of the ruling classes to thwart the will of the peoples.
The views summarised in this Statement are the result of open and democratic debate in this seminar. We present them to the world so that the workers, youth and peoples may know them.
From Quito, Ecuador, we express our commitment to continue this event and, for that reason we are convening the 17th International Seminar for next year.

Капли́ця Святої Анни — релігійна та історична пам'ятка міста Калуш, що розташована в середмісті, на проспекті Лесі Українки.

Каплиця збудована у 1992–1995 роках на місці зруйнованої в 1963 році однойменної каплиці.

Історія старої каплиці

Першу каплицю було зведено на найдовшій вулиці міста в 1881 році Миколою Пелеханом.
Побудова каплиці оповита легендами.

За першою легендою австрійському військовому, який служив у цісаря приснився сон, у якому Богоматір звернулася до нього з проханням спорудити каплицю у Калуші на визначеному місці за успадковані ним гроші. Смертельно хворий вояк доручив добре діло своєму коломийському другу Миколі Плехановичу. Останній не поспішав будувати каплицю, допоки в нього не померла дружина Марія. В цей же час Микола бачив видіння, у якому впізнав свого давнього друга. Стривожений Микола з батьком взялися за спорудження каплиці. Вулиця як і каплиця стала називатися в честь Святої Анни.

Поряд із каплицею було встановлено кам'яний хрест вояку, який був ініціатором зведення каплиці.

За іншою версією каплицю спорудили на місці де подружжя Пелеханів та ще багато інших місцевих жителів бачили світло, коли йшли на недільне богослужіння до місцевої церкви.

Над каплицею часто бачили дивне сяйво, а також одного разу спостерігали свічку, яка висіла у повітрі над спорудою.

Інтер'єр та екстер'єр старої каплиці

Внутрішній інтер'єр каплиці описав той же Володимир Коломиєць. У капличці були вівтар, на якому — образ святої Анни з маленькою Марією (цей образ досі зберігається у церкві святого Архистратига Михаїла), малий кивот, праворуч — подібна статуя з цементу, ліворуч — образ святого Йосифа з Ісусом на руці. Нижче була розташована скульптура святого Онуфрія. За окремими даними, вона була дерев'яною, її автором був Дмитро Сімків. На стіні висів хрест із Розп'яттям та образи Матері Божої та Ісуса Христа. По обох боках храму були по дві лавки.

Подальша доля каплиці

В 1963 році стара каплиця була зруйнована комуністичною владою, яка активно боролася з будь-якими релігійними проявами в місті.

Каплицю відбудовували з 1992 по 1995 роки.
Збудований храм за проектом архітектора Володимира Возняка, внутрішній інтер'єр — Ярослава Іваницького.

У каплиці є вівтар, на якому у центрі розташований образ святої Анни з малою Марією, по боках — образи святих Давида та Аарона. На вівтарі — кивот.
Освячена каплиця у 1996 році. Згодом і криницю біля храму оздобили мережевним навісом, на якому видно цифри «2000».

Q: SWT Browser XULRUNNER 10: how to enable javascript to access to system clipboard I'm using SWT Browser based on XULRUNNER 10.0 in Eclipse 3.8.
I want to configure the embedded browser for enable the access to system clipboard by javascript.
In my web application running on the embedded Browser I use CKeditor 3 and I want to use the copy/cut/paste functions.
I can't use JavaXPCOM interface because for the version 10.0 of XULRunner is not supported.
How can I achieve this programmatically or even by configuration file?

A: You have to set certain preferences to the xulrunner engine.
At first you have to access the prefs.js file for the xulrunner. This can be done with the following snippet:
Class<?> loadClass = Activator.getDefault().getClass()
        .getClassLoader()
        .loadClass("org.eclipse.swt.browser.MozillaDelegate");
Method declaredMethod = loadClass
        .getDeclaredMethod("getProfilePath");
declaredMethod.setAccessible(true);
String profilePath = (String) declaredMethod.invoke(null);
File userPrefs = new File(profilePath + File.separator + "prefs.js"))

In this file you have to set the following key-values:
capability.policy.policynames, allowclipboard
capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.cutcopy,allAccess
capability.policy.allowclipboard.Clipboard.paste,allAccess
capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites,file://

See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Granting_JavaScript_access_to_the_clipboard
Note: This is only working if your website is local. Otherwise you have to add the domains to the capability.policy.allowclipboard.sites key.
