America vs. Socialism at #CPAC2020

America vs. Socialism at #CPAC2020

Socialism is more than a failed economic system. It promises “free” material goods but instead delivers control over every aspect of life. Conservatives often struggle to portray the true cost of socialism in terms of freedom and wasted opportunity. For a generation that doesn’t remember the Cold War or the tearful celebration when the Berlin Wall collapsed, socialism’s tremendous personal toll on millions of lives is no longer obvious. The real cost of the socialist system is the disappearance of individual liberty—the space in a free society for people to love, worship, build careers, create art and families. That cost cannot be measured on a balance sheet. Socialism destroys the economy, yes, but also humanity and freedom.

OSIRIS-REx - NASA mission to explore near-Earth asteroid Bennu and return a sample to Earth.

OSIRIS-REx - NASA mission to explore near-Earth asteroid Bennu and return a sample to Earth.

Prior to arriving at Bennu, mission planners had expected the asteroid’s surface to consist largely of fine particulate material, similar to gravel. When OSIRIS-REx arrived in December 2018, however, it was greeted by a rocky world covered with boulders. This unexpected ruggedness means that there are few places on Bennu where OSIRIS-REx can safely touch down and collect a sample. After a year of studying the asteroid, the mission announced a primary sample collection site, which they designated “Nightingale,” along with a backup site called “Osprey.” In October 2020, OSIRIS-REx will descend to Bennu and attempt to collect up to four-and-a-half pounds of loose material, for return to Earth in 2023.

At first they were for private use only, and later for a small local distribution, and the responsibility of the production was the "rezdora," the lady of the house, that of women. The vinegar conducted by mother Mirella but began in the sixties to receive numerous awards and recognitions for vinegar made from the grapes of his vineyards. Prof. Benedetto Benedetti, at the time director of the Archaeological Museum Estense and Grand Master of the Guild of Spilamberto, he used to tell that "Mirella vinegar was just as described by the ancient letter from Aggazzotti (1860) and the goodness of his legitimized in vinegar full method Aggazzotti same ...

The barrels of the many generations of the family are now well preserved in the large slabs of Villa Emma Nonantola. The history of Mirella is dotted with a string of hits due to the great passion for the balsamic vinegar that attached it to the memory of his mother, who died prematurely.

Presentación de “Adiós, Niassa” en MIAMI, 28 de noviembre 6:30PM en Books & Books @ Bal Harbour Shops - 9700 Collins Avenue

Presentación de “Adiós, Niassa” en MIAMI, 28 de noviembre 6:30PM en Books & Books @ Bal Harbour Shops - 9700 Collins Avenue

Autor Mauricio Bergstein “Adiós, Niassa. Trece días a través de Mozambique” Adiós, Niassa rememora la odisea de tres viajeros -dos uruguayos y un portugués- embarcados hacia la remota reserva de Niassa, olvidada durante el conflicto bélico que arrasó a Mozambique y hoy custodiada por catorce mil elefantes. La incursión en pequeños poblados remotos, la sorpresa de sus habitantes cuando ven irrumpir en su territorio a una frugoneta descomunal y la alegría de decenas de niños -a quienes donan útiles escolares- que no saben para qué sirve un bolígrafo, pasan a formar parte del viaje a través de ese mar de aldeas que es el Mozambique profundo. La realidad del país va imponiendo su propio ritmo a un recorrido plagado de incertidumbre, 250 mil minas terrestres diseminadas sin desactivar, misteriosas ceremonias en poblados cuyos nombres no aparecen en los mapas, permiten al autor reflexionar sobre el acto de viajar y su escurridizo significado".
