The Bolivarian Revolution at the crossroads between imperialism, constitutional reform and the socialist discourse
Saturday 23 February 2008, by Sergio García , Stalin Pérez Borges, Vilma Vivas
The tensions, struggles, debates and contradictions within the revolutionary process are deepening. On the one hand, the pro-imperialist bourgeoisie, which tried to take over the street following the non-renewal of the licence of RCTV [1], but which in this case bit the dust, is currently preparing new actions within the framework of its opposition to the constitutional reform and the new law "of stability at work". On the other hand, sectors of the workers' movement are exerting pressure to obtain improvements in collective bargaining agreements and so that the bureaucracy – of the government as well as of the trade unions - does not decide in their place. This is in particular the case with oil workers and public employees, but also with sectors of the poor population which are continuing to fight to obtain decent housing and better social services.
All of them, however, are increasingly concerned by the growing weight of the state bureaucracy, which is securing and increasing its power and its privileges. On his part, Chávez has announced new projects which have irritated the bourgeoisie, but at the same time he maintains links with sectors of it, while affirming that the Unified Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) is not a Marxist party and that the working class is not the motor force of the revolution, thus weakening a left option. All this effervescence will be refracted in the mass organizations and in the PSUV, where our class-struggle current defends its positions while working with the grass-roots militants and clashing with those who want to confiscate its process of organization and its democratic character.
The Venezuelan economy continues to progress, with a growth rate of over 9 %, exchange reserves of more than 35 billion dollars, increasing tax revenues and the price of oil at its best levels, above 50 dollars a barrel. Within this framework, a monetary reform - the strong bolivar - is in preparation for January 2008. But this good economic situation did not prevent that, as in the previous year, inflation is severely affecting the everyday life of the popular sectors. It is likely to reach nearly 15 per cent at the end of this year, without the real incomes of workers as a whole having evolved in proportion. And the worst is that the shortage of foodstuffs is tending to worsen. At the same time the social projects continue to be developed, but they still do not manage to solve the major social problems. In particular, the social security law has still not been implemented. We are seeing the establishment of the first so-called socialist enterprises and, with the Villanueva Mission, the projects of new towns which will be situated in the framework of the constitutional reform, through the plan of territorial reorganization.
The process of nationalization, although not exempt from problems and contradictions, has made it possible for the state to reinforce its control over strategic sectors such as electricity, the telephone network and the key sectors of the oil industry, in particular the Orinoco Belt. In the sectors of electricity and telephones, new brains trusts and new plans of development are being set up by the state apparatus, instead of being based on democratic debate by the workers of these sectors, to allow them to exercise their control and develop their decision-making power. In the oil sector, even with the majority of shares held by the state, the different multinational companies continue to appropriate a part of our wealth, and the internal structures of PDVSA [2] reproduce the vices of the preceding administrations. Identical to those of the big oil companies, these structures are also less efficient on the level of production than they were before.
The country, which has recently experienced great political and social tensions, will probably remain in a similar situation during the coming months. Imperialism and the big bourgeoisie will exert pressure to try to avoid new measures and laws that affect their interests, while the Bolivarian masses will seek solutions to their serious social problems by confronting a rising state bureaucracy.
Bourgeoisie and bureaucracy: "united not by love but by terror"
The development of a Bolivarian bureaucracy - which starting from its positions in the state apparatus is undermining the bases of the revolutionary process and maintaining increasingly close links with the Bolivarian neo-bourgeoisie which negotiates credits with the government - is a major fact , and one that it is impossible to circumvent. The bureaucracy of the state structures is probably the greatest danger which threatens the Bolivarian Revolution at this stage. It is a sector which acts as the transmission belt for interests that are foreign to the revolution, which demoralizes and weakens the mass sectors supporting the revolutionary process.
As Haiman El Troudi has well defined in its new book, [3] the counter-revolution has undergone a mutation. Its new clothes are those of a Chavism without socialism, which "means slowing down the structural transformations of society, masking the inequalities, preserving intact class privileges (...) The principal spokespersons of this counter-revolutionary tendency are mercenaries infiltrated into the process, who are weaving their obvious conspiracy with the threads of corruption, political control, negation of popular participation in public affairs. Their fundamental aspiration: to install a new oligarchic class and to seize power by means of treasonable plans against the Bolivarian Revolution."
This description, which corresponds to what very many compatriots feel and suffer, illustrates at the same time the necessary unity between these two sectors, which are equally dangerous and now allied with each other: the bourgeoisie needs the bureaucratic layers of the state in order to continue to do business and to gain ground so as to slow down measures that endanger its class interests; the bureaucracy needs the bourgeoisie in order to maintain its privileges and its areas of power, at the same time as it develops itself its own business affairs. We can see at present the Banesco and Canarias banks, other bankers such as Víctor Gil, Irausquín, Cedeño, Rafael Sarría and Petricca, developing the business deals of the century. With whom in the government are these usurers negotiating and concluding agreements? They need each other, they are complementary, and they all fear rank-and-file workers and popular mobilization. To paraphrase Jorge Luis Borges, [4] the bourgeoisie and the bureaucracy are not linked by love but by their terror faced with the prospect of an advance, in the revolution, of the movements at the base and of anti-capitalist measures. It is no accident that it is from these two sides that are coming criticisms of sectors engaged in struggle, attempts to control the social organizations, orders for the dismissal and persecution of those who raise their voice inside the structures of the state and if, today in the PSUV, it is they who seek to impose clientelist methods in order to preserve their areas of power.
Faced with the attacks of imperialism and the increasing weight of the bureaucracy, millions of Venezuelans are wondering what Chávez thinks and what he is going to do. Is he conscious of the serious problems which exist in his entourage? Until when will the Bolivarian Right remain encrusted in the higher spheres of the government? It seems to us that he is conscious of everything, when he refers to people in his entourage by saying, for example last July 22, during the first meeting of the "January 23 urbanization battalions": "Like snakes that are coiled up, they are playing at Chavism without Chávez, at pushing Chávez aside; well, I will be isolated only by God who is our Lord and Master, or by you, the voice of the people". [5]
Towards the debate on the constitutional reform
When Chávez speaks about socialism and about finishing with capitalism, he attracts all the sympathy of the majority of the population. When he speaks against the working class and Marxism, he gives rise to doubts and divergences in sectors of the revolutionary process. When Chávez calls on people to organise from the bottom up in the PSUV, he generates hopes. When he publicly supports Diosdado Cabello - the principal spokesperson of the Bolivarian Right – he disorientates and weakens the most consistent sectors of the revolution. We have defended Chávez against every imperialist attack, and we will continue to do so insofar as he maintains his political independence in the face of the empire. But if we want to go forward, or if, as he says, we are at a moment of transition towards a supposedly socialist national model, that means that, to quote the words of Simón Rodríguez, [6] "a political revolution forcibly demands an economic revolution". This economic revolution should manifest itself in concrete measures, but such measures have still not been taken.
On August 14, Chávez submitted to the national assembly his project of constitutional reform. As had been announced, this project dealt with important questions such as popular power, the length of working hours, new executive powers and federal territories, the possibility of indefinite re-election to the presidency of the Republic and the various forms of property.
On the question of the legal length of working hours, a modification of article 90 of the federal Constitution of the Bolivarian Republic would represent a step forward, by stipulating that "in order to allow workers to have sufficient time for their all-round personal development, working time during the day will not exceed six hours daily and 36 hours weekly, and working time at night will not exceed six hours daily and 34 hours weekly". That opens up the need for the workers to organize and mobilize to guarantee its application. On popular power, the proposal made on article 136 of the constitution announces: "popular power is expressed by constituting communities, communes and municipal self-government, through communal councils, workers' councils, peasant councils, student councils and other entities indicated by the law". All this aspect deserves a wide-ranging debate. It is positive that this question is tackled in the reform, but it is necessary at the same time to avoid, and to fight if necessary, any inclination towards control of the rights and sovereign functions of these councils as popular organizations.
It is proposed "to increase to seven years the presidential term and to allow immediate re-election to this position". The important thing should not be such a possibility, but changes making it possible to advance towards a more democratic regime, which instead of continuing to invent new tasks and responsibilities within the executive power, legitimates the power of the workers' and people's organizations, envisages that they should have majority representation in a new Parliament, extends the possibilities of recall by the voters, in an immediate way and for all functions, and defends at all levels of political and economic decision the right of the people to express themselves and to decide.
Lastly, with regard to the mode of property, the project of reform legitimates five types, including private ownership of companies.
The fact is that, within a framework which remains contradictory, broad sectors of the bourgeoisie are worried. For lawyer and representative of the bourgeoisie Asdrúbal Aguiar, "the state reserves for itself planning of private economic activity. For them, the private entrepreneur is an appendix of the socialist model of production and operates as a license-holder. That is accompanied by a big contradiction which is revealed by article 113 of the project of reform, on the role of work: the government penalizes the fact that private individuals do not subject themselves to the methods of production ". [7] Fedecámaras [8] and other voices also contested the new law of stability in work. They fear that the state will restrict the possibility of laying off workers in private companies, as one of the principal newspapers of the upper bourgeoisie explains: "This legal instrument will introduce limitations on the right of employers to lay off their workers (...). Employers will have to request authorization from the public authority, represented by the factory inspector". [9]
The Minister of Popular Power for Planning and Development, Jorge Giordani, assured us that "the figure of the private company can coexist perfectly within the framework of a socialist system, in so far as its finality does not enter in conflict with the wellbeing of the society to which this company belongs". [10]
Apart from the fact that such a choice is utopian - because the operations of private capital are never determined according to social wellbeing, but according to profits made on the basis of exploitation - it weakens a true socialist project. Without nationalization of the banks and replacement of private property of the means of production by social property, without the preponderance of the power of the people's organizations, it will be impossible to advance towards a socialist country.
This conception of a socialism that is open to private capital, far from being new or - as is claimed - "Venezuelan-style", has already been put into practice, with painful results. The most current example is that of China - although this country started from a situation where, following the revolution, the totality of the means of production was in the hands of the state. With a similar discourse about "Chinese-style socialism", the central government launched a process of market reforms and of opening up in three stages to private capital, with catastrophic consequences in terms of misery and super-exploitation. As two recognized Marxist economists explained, in connection with the entry of private capital in the 1980s, "although depending initially on the state sector, the urban collective enterprises were lucrative and many of them were in fact private companies painted red in order to obtain tax advantages for provisioning and credits (...) Each new stage of the process of reforms generated new tensions and contradictions, which were solved only through a widening of the power of the market, leading to an increased consolidation of the capitalist political economy. Thus, instead of using capitalism to build socialism as the reformists affirmed, what was inevitably going to happen, and what did actually happen, is that market socialism used socialism to build capitalism (...) This process of reform highlights the fact that once you start to go down the slope of market reforms, you can only continue to slide ". [11]
Venezuela is starting from a different situation, it has evolved from a classical capitalism towards a perturbation and a destabilization of the market, each reform making the situation more tense. If we do not go further, if behind a socialist discourse we maintain the power of capital over the means of production and a private financial system, then in the long run, instead of breaking with the capitalist model we could come to maintain it, and even reinforce it. The risk is that instead of advancing towards something new, we repeat the worst faults of one of the most perverse models of false socialism of the 20th century.
Another argument that is advanced in order to justify coexistence with private enterprise is that it is necessary to break with dogmatism. As everyone knows, any truth that is pushed to outrageous limits starts to be no longer true. Not to have a dogmatic method is a good thing, but that does not imply rejecting the theoretical and political bases of Marxism, if they still correspond to the reality of the world and of Venezuela. Today, wherever it is to be found, private capital is synonymous with exploitation and individual profits. Lorenzo Mendoza (Polar Enterprises, Gustavo Cisneros (the Cisneros group), the families Capriles (Cadena Capriles) or Salomón (Sambil), the bosses of Empreven and the new leadership of Fedecámaras (Manual González, Noël à lvarez and Ciro García), with whom the government has come to an agreement or is seeking to do so, have nothing to do with any socialist project. We propose that the constitution establishes clearly that the way to be followed is that of the progressive elimination of capitalist power in the economy and in the mode of ownership of industry and of the financial system.
The debate on the constitutional reform is being conducted in a tense atmosphere, marked by the opposition of the big bourgeoisie and of imperialism. However he big bourgeoisie fears that, if it undertakes new actions, the people and the workers mobilized in the streets may push Chávez to be more radical. The issues concerned are too important for the debate on the constitutional reform to remain confined to commissions of notables or within the chambers of the national assembly. It must be a debate of the whole people, with their organizations, a mass, constituent debate, in which the rank-and-file discuss the changes that need to be made to the Constitution so that it points to a socialist way and legitimates the decision-making power of the workers and the people.
The workers 'and people's organizations, a priority for the revolution
A process of organization at the base is continuing to develop on a whole series of terrains. At the trade-union, peasant, popular, indigenous levels, within the committees for land, housing or water, in the alternative media, everywhere the participation of the masses is being maintained. It is this motor force of the revolution that it is necessary to consolidate and develop. And if some people want to eliminate autonomy and criticism, we need to avoid that by unifying the struggle against any authoritarian tendencies within the process.
Within the trade-union movement, this reality is expressed by the development of CCURA, [12] which remains our first priority of work. Today more than ever, within the framework of the agreements reached with other currents to defend the UNT and to advance in the process of internal elections, it is necessary to preserve its structure and its functioning. Within CCURA, beyond the fact that a big sector of it has registered with the PSUV and that another sector did not do that, [13] what must take precedence is unity and independence from the state and from parties, by allowing the free development of all political experiences within the framework of the revolution and the need for deepening the revolution.
There are a certain number of important struggles, in which the organizations at the base are in the front rank, and which deserve all our support. In the oil sector, CCURA is clashing with the plans of the Ministry of Labour and of the Bolivarian Workers' Trade Union Force (FSBT), which wants to consolidate its power with the state bureaucracy and puts forward collective bargaining agreements without the participation of the workers, while treating their opinions with contempt. The same thing is happening with public employees, and they have a similar project for the transport sector. Other fights are being conducted by the fishermen and the community of the port of Guiria, who remain organized, by the Wayuú indigenous people who refuse the installation of a gas pipeline on their ancestral grounds, by the communities which are fighting for decent housing and by the peasants who are calling for their demands to be taken into account more quickly. Far from accepting the new theory according to which there is no need to fight for demands because we are going towards socialism, we are engaged in supporting and developing these struggles. The immediate needs of the workers and the people constitute a right, which must be all the more respected if we are going towards socialism.
Within the framework of this process of organization at the base, the communal councils continue to develop, but not without contradictions. The best example is undoubtedly provided by Carora, where 100 per cent of the communal budget is discussed and decided by the councils, on the basis of the needs that they have evaluated. This is the path which should be followed all over the country. The question of the formation of workers' councils is under debate in the workers' movement. Unfortunately, certain sectors of the state and the trade-union movement (FSBT) are aiming at a controlled and anti-trade union model. That does not prevent class-struggle militants from proposing their own model of workers' councils: democratic, unitary and acting in common with the democratic and legitimate trade-union organizations, towards workers' power in industry. The debate about the councils, whether they be communal, workers' or student, must be conducted and decided by the base. And so that they do not lose their capacity for initiative, as well as their right to put forward needs and to impel the struggles of those who form the base of the revolution, it is necessary to act in such a way that they are protected from projects aiming to tie them to decisions of the state and the civil servants who deal with them.
PSUV - perspectives and challenges
The PSUV is at present holding its first assemblies at the base, in preparation for its first congress. We have seen, over recent months, the desperate attempts at sectors of the government to control the whole process. But at the same time, there is the strength and the aspirations of the base, which has begun to take over many assemblies of the socialist battalions. [14] There is no doubt that a serious confrontation is approaching. As the newspaper Las Verdades de Miguel wrote, "a railway collision will happen in the PSUV, between the Right and the Left of the process".
As revolutionaries, we do not place ourselves on the margin of this struggle, which will decide the political course that the country will follow for months and years to come. We take an active part in each assembly, by presenting our proposals, by listening to the base and by acting in unity with all honest sectors. By converging with those who want an anti-capitalist development and who defend a democratic type of party, without bureaucracy, top-down functioning or a military structure. The revolution needs a party of the base, equipped with a programme to finish with capitalism in Venezuela, a party that the workers, in unity with all the non-exploiting sectors of society, lead in order to be able to decide on their future.
The organizers of the CCURA current and the newspaper Marea Clasista y Socialista are engaged on the road of the deepening of the revolution, of confrontation with imperialism and the bourgeoisie, against all the bureaucratic sectors which are putting brakes on the revolution. We invite all socialists who are engaged in the struggle and all the members of the PSUV to prepare with us with the big struggles that are on the horizon. "Educate yourselves, because we will need all our intelligence, get involved because we will need all our enthusiasm, organize yourselves, because we will need all our strength", said Gramsci. It is in the service of these needs and towards a socialist objective that there has been formed, around the newspaper Marea Clasista y Socialista, a space for participation, for an exchange of opinions and experiences as well as building together, open to all those who want to join it.

[12] The Class-struggle, Unitary, Revolutionary and Autonomous Current (CCURA), is in a majority at the base of the new trade-union confederation UNT (National Workers' Union), but not within its provisional leadership structures, established at the time of its formation. For this reason the FSBT (Bolivarian Workers' Trade Union Force), supported by the Ministry of Labour and in general by the state bureaucracy, has until now tried by all means to prevent the holding of internal elections which, by choosing a representative leadership, would definitively establish the existence and the legitimacy of the new confederation. In July, the CCURA made an agreement with the four other currents existing in the UNT, in order to launch this electoral process. Representatives of the FSBT then declared that the UNT could no longer represent the interests of the revolution and that perhaps it was necessary to build another trade-union body. The confrontation within the UNT centres on the question of "autonomy" with respect to the government, in other words the independence of the trade unions from the state. A public polemic has also opposed, on this point, Chávez (who expressed an opinion in a rather virulent way against the autonomy of the UNT) to the principal spokespersons of the CCURA and the UNT.

"Coursework" is a mass noun, which means it is uncountable and used in similar ways to other mass nouns you might be more familiar with. Think water, love, or ass-kicking.
No. Coursework means work that is given to students for a grade. Since coursework is uncountable (meaning that you can't count the number of "work"), there isn't a plural form of the word.
I have to come up with a second title wherein I will be transforming the phrase "A-Level English Coursework" to a plural form..

My husband and I are not the buck tradition! type. He - because he likes things tried and true and without rebellion, and me - because, duh, have you met me? I mean, can you just imagine what my world would be like if I even tried to not do things the way you're supposed to? Just following rules gets me in trouble every day. If I tried to go against the grain, on purpose?? Sheesh.
Our wedding vows were straight out classic, "... in sickness and in health, for richer or for poorer, for death or for life, for here and for there, love ever after amen." Something like that. But ... but ... if I were given the chance to rewrite our vows, I'd have to sit and stare looooong and hard at the "in sickness and in health." I'd doctor it up a bit, make it " ... in sickness and in snores ..." because the man is killing me.
I haven't had a night of uninterrupted sleep since we bought a mattress together eighteen years ago. He snores. Loudly and to the point where our children used to come crying into our room, "Mommy! There's a gorilla in the house!"
Ima looking for your good solid relationship advice today, people.
Get that man to the doctor pronto. Snoring can be a sign of sleep apnea. Which greatly increases the risk of dying from stroke, heart disease etc (seriously!). Though I'm thinking that, with the state you're in, a pillow on his face might kill him first.
hmmm...does he snore even on his side? I am always sort of relieved when I turn to see the snoring hubs on his back, as then I know there is some hope. I know my father snores MUCH worse when he is more exhausted...earlier bedtime?
Oh man, if you find out can you tell me? Because my hubby sounds like an angry pig on steroids every night. The only thing I've come up with is the pillow over the face method and that's out.
We have tried a few things that are contemplating a few more, but the guaranteed absolutely positive way to make sure his snoring doesn't wake you up? Small children who do not sleep well. My husband"s buzzsaw used to wake me several times every night and I was furious. Now that my kids wake me over and over and over and have ever since they were newborns, I don't notice the snoring at all.
I'm not saying that you should go back to being a zombie exhausted all the time, but are you noticing it more now that you're getting more rest?
Try pinching his nose when he snores. Try breatheright strips. Try no alcohol before bed. Try kicking him. And get on that newborn twins idea..
I have no advice for you, because my name is Tracie, and I've been living with a ridiculously loud snorer for ten years now.
Making him turn over to his side (usually with an exasperated, "roll over" growl and a not-so-gentle push) helps about 50% of the time.
I second Nelly. About 10 years into our marriage, I got really sick and slept in the second bedroom so he wouldn't catch it. 16 years later and I am still there! Sleep is a beautiful thing! Don' know if we would still be married otherwise. I'm also a big believer in separate bathrooms. Sweet dreams.
Ear plugs and a sleeping pill Darling. You won't hear a thing. Not even when the kids are warning you about the gorilla!
boom! i was there and left great words of wisdom.
Oh man. Can't help you there. I tried everything. I still remember that low point where I spent the night curled up on the floor of the bedroom closet because it was the furthest point in the room from the offending snorer. It didn't work.
I'm looking for a solution as well...It's been 12 long years. Not sure I'll make it to 18 like you did!

Adult Kevin McCallister From 'Home Alone' Is Really Screwed Up, But Fans Of The Movie Will Totally Understand — VIDEO
By Allyson Koerner
What's the aftermath of being left home alone? Really, think about it. As much as everyone, including myself, loves Home Alone, do you think it affected Kevin McCallister at all? I mean, when an 8-year-old boy is left home all by himself and forgotten by his family during Christmastime, that has to leave some type of mark. Well, it did. Adult Kevin McCallister is proof Home Alone screwed him up — bad.
As part of the new YouTube series :DRYVRS, Macaulay Culkin stars as adult Kevin McCallister in the premiere episode ("Just Me in the House by Myself") alongside creator Jack Dishel. The web series is inspired by Über and Lyft, and shows Dishel meeting some pretty interesting drivers through a ride-sharing app.
Enter Culkin as a grown-up Kevin, who is not only married to his childhood sweetheart Anna, but is still greatly affected by that time he was left home alone, his house was invaded by robbers Harry and Marv, and he had to pull out some serious MacGyver skills, which actually come in handy during the episode.
As upsetting it is to see Kevin in this manner, to hear him use the F-word left and right, to learn he doesn't even know how to drive (way to go Kate and Peter), and to see that he's actually kind of creepy (just wait to the somewhat bloody end), he totally relates to every Home Alone fan out there. Basically, he says what every person is thinking every time they watch the movie. Check it out.
Jack Dishel on YouTube
When He Gets Angry About Being Forgotten
Every fan all the time: "And they forget their 8-year-old-f*cking son. They're 8-year-old son. All by yourself. In the house. For a week. I had to fend off my house from two psychopath home invaders. I was just a kid."
When He's Confused About Harry & Marv
In addition to still having nightmares about the "bald weirdo dude" chasing him around the house, Kevin still can't believe one thing. He says, "They don't even curse." Good point, Kevin. However, seeing as it was a family movie, they wouldn't do that, but still.
When He Vents About Buzz... Woof
Raise your hand if you can't stand Buzz? Everyone? Now that that survey is completed, here's what Kevin thinks: "They remembered my bat sh*t of a brother, you know? But, they forget me. You know, the cutest f*cking eight year old in the universe — by far." Seriously, the cutest kid ever!
When He Slams His Mom
Kate, you might love Kevin and have tried to get home to him, but that doesn't fly with your now adult son. "She didn't care, man," he says. "She was too busy being like a groupie to a polka band or something like that. I've never even gotten the whole story."
When He Can't Even With The Pizza Situation
The scene with the cheese pizza still infuriates me, and Kevin agrees: "It's just that my house was a f*cking zoo, I couldn't even eat a slice of pizza without even having to go to war or something like that."
Basically, this is Kevin now and it makes my heart hurt. Kate and Peter, you are nothing but filthy animals.

Dennis Scott of the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) was invited by the NAG to have discussions with leading Dutch aerospace companies regarding industrial co-operation with China.
Subjects ranged from research and development collaboration opportunities to ongoing industrial programmes.
The theme was how to bridge the cultural and communication gaps and improve the effectiveness of joint activities. Many of these discussions followed dialogues and workshops held previously at the Dutch Consulate in Shanghai and at the recent Zhuhai Airshow in China.
A highlight of these latest sessions was the proposal to develop a dual site, collaboration centre, one based in the Netherlands and one in Shanghai. These centres would become focal points for both academic and industrial initiatives, including the potential for exchange programmes and consulting projects. Mr Scott emphasized the need to create pilot projects as a mechanism to develop and execute tangible co-operation activities, whilst demonstrating real value to all parties. In China it is very important to demonstrate success. Once achieved, it would be much easier to expand the number and scope of these collaboration initiatives.
The next event relating to Dutch-China collaboration will be a NAG mission to China 20-24th March 2017.
The NAG would like to thank Mr Scott for supporting these important relationship development activities.

Hawzah News Agency - While most non-Muslims in the US are accepting of Muslim Americans, Republicans are far more likely to have potentially negative views about them, according to data released Thursday.
Trump also recently referred to a US-bound caravan of migrants as an "invasion" – making flimsy, unproved claims that "Middle Easterners" were among them.
The results provide mixed signals into these perceptions.
"Political ideology" – to be specific, describing oneself as a Republican – "is the strongest indicator of negative attitudes toward Muslim Americans", according to these researchers.
Seventy-one percent of self-described Republicans agreed they don't believe Islam is compatible with American values, compared to an overall 42%.
Sixty percent agreed with the idea that Muslim Americans weren't as patriotic as non-Muslim Americans, compared to 38% generally.
Fifty-six per cent of Republicans surveyed agreed they'd be concerned if a mosque or Islamic center were constructed in their neighborhood, compared to an overall level of 33%.
And slightly more than half – 53% – disagree that the influx of Muslim candidates for public office is positive for America, compared to 31% of the entire response pool.
But overall 85% of non-Muslim Americans agreed "diversity is a good thing for America", the survey found.
About the same amount "believe their fellow Muslim citizens contribute positively to the US economy and to society".
Some 66% of participants also told surveyors that it's a "positive sign of progress for our country that over 100 Muslim Americans ran for public office in the 2018 election cycle".
The same pool of respondents nonetheless expressed concerns about Muslims' place in America.
About 60% said Muslim Americans were equally patriotic to non-Muslim Americans – meaning some 40% did not, surveyors said.
More than 50% said they were concerned about the spread of Islamic extremism in America.
Despite the professed support of diversity, about one third of survey-takers reported "feeling uncomfortable when they see Muslim Americans wearing a veil".
The same amount of participants also agreed they "would be concerned if a mosque or Islamic center was built in their neighborhood, and believe Muslims should be subject to extra security screenings at airports".
Non-Muslim Americans, when pressed to offer a guess, said they believe 60% of Muslim Americans want to assimilate with American society "or have respect for American laws" – meaning a "significant minority [is] assumed to lack these feelings", surveyors claimed.
Non-Muslim Americans also overestimate the number of Muslim Americans in the US, data shows.
While non-Muslim Americans think 16% of the populace is Muslim, only about 1% of the US population actually identifies with the religion.
The belief is especially prominent among respondents with "less income, less education and who consume no news", surveyors said.
The survey, which was conducted before a an antisemitic gunman killed 11 worshipers in a Pittsburgh synagogue on Saturday, also found that few Americans thought there was a lot of antisemitic discrimination.
Seventy-one per cent of non-Muslim Americans surveyed agreed Muslim Americans endured a lot of discrimination – at nearly the same levels experienced by African American and transgender individuals.
"Relative to other minority groups, only one-third agree there is a lot of discrimination against Jews in America," the survey found.
Robert McKenzie, survey director and senior fellow at New America, said he was interested in determining "if we could quantify anti-Muslim attitudes at the state and local level".
"The survey is the first step to better understand why people have these fears," he said.

Mike Reed Successful in Top Rank Debut. Returns Nov. 29th on Crawford-Beltran Card.
WASHINGTON,D.C., U.S.A. – On Saturday night, October 4, 2014, light welterweight professional boxer, Mike "Yes Indeed" Reed (Waldorf, MD/Washington, D.C.) defeated Osnel Charles (Atlantic City, NJ) by unanimous decision. The three judges seated ringside at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, scored thesix-round bout 59-53, 60-52, and 60-52. Reed dropped Charles inround two, and later in the fight, the referee deducted a point from Charlesfor repeatedly spitting out his mouthpiece. Reed's record is now 11-0, with 6KOs. Charles, a last minute opponent replacement, saw his record drop to10-11-1, 1 KO.
The twenty-one year old prospect talked abou this recent win. He said, "I was happy to get the win in Atlantic Cityand see so many fans come out to support me and my team. As far as my performance goes, I thought I performed well, but there's always room for improvement. My opponent Charles was a crafty veteran, and he had tricks that helped him survive in the ring.. I always learn from my fights, and I plan to build on those things in my upcoming training camp. I showed Top Rank that they made the right decision to sign me. I have a good support team and I will continue to show that I have the tools to become a world champion."
Michael "Buck" Pinson, Reed's father, trainer, andmanager (Dream Team Boxing Gym/Clinton, MD), agreed with his Reed's assessment. "Michael's conditioning looked good in the fight, but we will go back to the gym and keep working to get better. Overall, I thought Mike's Top Rank debut went well, and the representatives on hand seemed to enjoy his performance. Thank you to all the Team Reed supporters that came up for the fight. All of you were loud at the fight, and that made us feel like we were fighting at home."
During his October fight, Reed wore a pink and white uniform to honor victims and survivors of breast cancer. He said, "The outfit I wore in the ring was to raise breast cancer awareness, as a tribute to everyone who has dealt with breast cancer. Two very important women in my life were diagnosed with it.
Fortunately, they both survived, but there are plenty of women who weren't as fortunate. I'll continue to show support, and eventually someone will find a cure for cancer. Thank you Nike Boxing/Athlete Performance Solutions(Machomai Boots), Nike Elite (Kay Yow socks), Ross Molovinsky and Team Reed for helping put together my outfit for this fight."
Mike Reed is scheduled to return to the ring on Thanksgiving weekend, Saturday, November 29, in an eight-round bout at the CenturyLinkCenter in Omaha, Nebraska. Reed's fight will be featured on the HBO undercardof the WBO lightweight title fight between Terence Crawford and Ray Beltran. Reed'sopponent will be announced shortly.
Reed said, "November 29 will be a big night for TeamReed. Terence Crawford has always been a favorite boxer of mine, so it's a realhonor to fight on his undercard. I'm told that the CenturyLink Center in Omahais going to be packed with boxing fans, so this is a great opportunity for me to expand my fan base on a terrific HBO undercard. Team Reed is looking forward to traveling out to Omaha. We plan to impress everyone in attendance and earn television time."

Usmanee Plans to Keep Busy in the Ring While Waiting on Deck for Barthelemy vs. Mendez Winner.
June 16, 2014 by TheTitleFight Leave a Comment
Last Friday night (June 13) at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, one of the world's best super featherweights, Afghani-Canadian Arash Usmanee (21-2-1, 10 KOs) returned to action with an eight-round decision over California's Juan Ruiz (23-13, 7 KOs).
In the ring for the first time since his brave showing against WBO #1 ranked lightweight Raymundo Beltran in April, Usmanee fought off frustration over Ruiz's veteran tactics to clearly win seven rounds.
Usmanee's promoter, Greg Cohen of Greg Cohen Promotions, says he was happy to see the Ruiz fight serve its purpose.
"Ruiz has gone the distance with a long list of top fighters and, true to form, he gave Arash eight rounds of work. One of the judges scored it a draw, but the other two were watching the fight and gave Arash a wide decision."
The victory puts Usmanee back into contention at his natural weight of super feather. Against Beltran, Usmanee started out quite well, but fighting on short notice against a larger opponent, he eventually tired and dropped a unanimous decision.
"Arash deserves another shot at the super featherweight championship and that's what we're after," continued Cohen. "He beat Rances Barthelemy everywhere but the scorecards and had a draw against the then-champion Argenis Mendez. Those are the top two guys in the IBF at 130 lbs. We're going to keep him busy and wait for the winner of the upcoming Barthelemy vs. Mendez rematch or a fight against any of the other top super featherweights in the world."

Ricky Burns vs Ray Beltran Sept. 7th Event Info.
SAN DIEGO, CA. (July 22, 2013) – On Saturday afternoon September 7 th , WBO Lightweight champion Ricky Burns will defend his crown when he takes on tough veteran Ray Beltran in a bout that will be televised in the United States on WealthTV and www.wealthtv.com
"We are excited to be able to bring this outstanding five-star world title fight to United States boxing fans", said WealthTV President Charles Herring. "Beltran is a tough Mexican American fighter who cut his teeth and earned this opportunity the hard way. We just had top American heavyweight Tony Thompson go over to the United Kingdom twice and score big wins over David Price on WealthTV and it would not shock me if Beltran follows suit and brings home the title."
The fight is promoted by Matchroom Sport and will originate from Scottish Exhibition Centre in Glasgow, Scotland.
"I'm delighted that Ricky's fourth defense of his WBO title will be shown live in the States on WealthTV," said Burns' promoter Eddie Hearn. "Raymundo Beltran promises to be the toughest test yet of Ricky's reign and with some big unification bouts on the horizon for Ricky, American fight fans will enjoy seeing the best of the Scotsman in front a passionate sold-old Glasgow crowd.", said Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport.
Burns of Coatbridge, Scotland has a record of 36-2 with 11 knockouts and has not lost a fight in over six years which spans 21 fights. He won the WBO Super Featherweight title with a thrilling 12 round unanimous decision over Roman Martinez. He made three defenses of his crown which includes wins over Andreas Evensen and Joseph Laryea. He then stopped former WBO Super featherweight champion Nicky Cook in one round.
Burns moved up to Lightweight and in his first fight at the higher weight class, he scored a 12 round unanimous decision over former champion Michael Katsidis to win the WBO Interim title.
Burns won the full title with a twelve round unanimous decision over former WBA champion Paulus Moses. Burns looked great in taking out fellow United Kingdom fighter Kevin Mitchell in four rounds. In his last bout, Burns had to dig deep but he retained the crown after Jose Gonzalez had to retire on the stool after nine rounds on May 11th.
Burns is 8-0 in world title fights.
Born in Los Mochis, Mexico, Beltran comes from an area that breeds great fighters. Now a resident of Phoenix, Arizona Beltran has a record of 28-6 with 17 knockouts.
"Ray Beltran is the Mexican buzzsaw who is always in the kind of action fight that fans like to see. Beltran will fight in a real entertaining battle against Ricky Burns. Boxing fans are in for a real treat," said Bob Arum, CEO, Top Rank.
The 31 year-old has fought all over the United States in opponent's hometowns and has had quality wins. He had a win over David Torres (21-1) before being on the wrong end of two debatable decisions to future world title challenger and undefeated Sharif Bogere and undefeated Luis Ramos Jr.
Beltran had won three in a row which started with his biggest win to date when he scored a ten round majority decision over then number-one ranked Hank Lundy in Lundy's backyard of Atlantic City. He followed that up with a ten round unanimous decision over former world title challenger Ji-Hoon Kim.
In his next bout, Beltran scored a ten round unanimous decision over Alejandro Rodriguez on April 27 th in Austin, Texas.
Beltran trains out of the Wild Card Gym and has been a frequent sparring partner with eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao.
Beltran will be making his first attempt at a world title.

In the mid 1950's we went to Mexico and I performed two recitals in the Capital. One was an all-solo concert at the Instituto Americano with a Spanish Guitarist, Pepe Munoz and a pianist. There was coverage in the newspapers and beautiful programs were printed for the occasion. Press notices were very good and it was very well attended. A similar program was arranged at the Academia Burgunder, a fine Spanish dance school in Mexico City. This, too, was received very well and followed by a seminar for the students at the Academia. At that time I discovered my LP recording of Spanish Dances and Flamenco with Pablo MIquel and Juan Martinez, which had been recorded in New York City in 1954, was known and distributed in Mexico.
I renewed contact with Janet Riesenfeld, (Raquel Rojas ) and Oscar Tarriba. They both were impressed with my accomplishments. A gratifying experience!
That period was also marked by a flurry of interest in my work at UCLA in Los Angeles, California. I was presented in one woman programs by the Fine Arts Committee at Schoenberg Hall three times and twice at Royce Hall. After these appearances I was booked at the Lake Arrowhead conference Center in lecture demonstrations and remained active on the University campus over a number of years. Towards the end of the 1950's I also had some other concert bookings in Ogden, Utah and in Phoenix, Arizona; this time collaborating with the well-known film personality, Leo Carrillo. ( He incidentally was at the opening of the Castellana-Hilton in 1953 when I was an honored guest and also performed as a dancer with guitarist.) Both concerts featured Mr. Carrillo as the headliner and I was the dance artist performing each time with a guitarist and pianist. Such was the situation in that era when the concert dates were separated by weeks or months so it was necessary to engage different accompanists. I had known Mr. Carrillo over many years going back to the days on Olvera Street.
Programs were also given in a solo format at the University of Southern California at Santa Barbara and Riverside. These appearances occurred in the 1960's. I also was booked into a solo lecture concert at Beckman Auditorium ( Cal Tech). It consisted of a Lecture-Concert I presented in the same format as in many of the Colleges and Universities during that period. The second half was a complete concert of my flamenco dances accompanied by Carlos Rubio and Miguel Galvez a fine cantaor from Andalusia, Spain. In 1968 I did a similar concert at the Inner City Cultural Center. This was excellently reviewed and a reception in my honor followed the presentation. A memorable event!
