Cruise Spots In New Jersey

World Book Day

around the world commemorated the International Day of the book. I started to commemorate the last week in El Toboso in Cervantes Days, acquired two magnificent examples of Don Quixote to give and I attended a lecture-presentation of a book of portraits. And, beyond the conventions of TV news to those who are not accustomed, would have to think about the amount of real stories and people that under the "Knight of the Sorrowful Countenance" while wielding his sword in this all out have created and are dedicated to this noble profession but "mendicant order" revolutions that have brought the books generated idealisms following contact between the paper and hands, feelings, joys, sorrows, tears and smiles ... It's real life, the book, the book is that we abstract from other useless routines of this world ... because That is to say thank you to those who are able to create in the form of letters, life from nothing ... to Cervantes, Quevedo, Gongora, Calderón, Lope de Vega, the Valle Inclán, Unamuno, Baroja, Azorín, Ortega y Gasset, Miguel Hernandez and Lorca, Ayala, Jorge Guillen, and Miguel Delibes, Cela, Paz, Mario Benedetti, Borges, Cortazar, Vila-Matas, Ana Maria Matute, Carmen Martin Gaite ... (I've only named a few and English ) and why not, also those who, as I read yesterday Monica Gutierrez to (which is in the making his second book), put their two cents and help to make the ink on paper, a passion, a dream and that dream a reality. At Sanfeliú or Patricia Miguel Esteban (Russian Blue is his second book), and bloggers, clerks, short-lived moment dreamers least they put every day, thousands and thousands of letters in circulation ... of them also is this book-day.
The book does not go away, because you can not, is another of the vital organs of man.

Cuba, repression ID

This project aims to identify the participants in the violent repression and acts of intimidation against opponents of the Castro regime.
We want you to help put a name and surname to the agents of State Security and the political police, as well as members of the pro-government mobs harass and repress peaceful demonstrations of the Damas de Blanco, human rights activists, independent journalists and anyone who publicly challenges the official discourse.














Who are they? How called? Where do they work? What is your home?
The information gathered will help raise awareness within and outside Cuba, the civil responsibility of those who lend themselves to these abuses and thus acting in flagrant violations of human rights, condemned by international law. This is not a witch hunt, but a moral response, with potential legal implications for the future of Cuba. Repressor should know that in the XXI century there is no impunity for abuses, and could be hurt when applying for a benefit as a visa to come to America.

This is an initiative of Cuban Americans in Miami lawyers who seek to persuade those involved in the mob, and thereby stop the repression and hatred between Cubans.
Here are the pictures, the faces of repression. The information obtained should be verified by several reliable sources. Your contribution is very important.
