Minister Public

For worse, this trend of the real exchange rate is maintained (even seems to be that it accelerates by inflationary effect), and the Argentine consulting firm Prefinex, is a fall in the competitiveness of Argentina regarding the U.S. hoped for this year.UU. of 12.6%. Not only the country’s competitiveness has deteriorated, but that also the fiscal surplus has done. Despite good numbers which are displayed in terms of tax revenue, which in April showed a growth of 45%, it is true that public spending is also growing dramatically. This is not the problem behind this fiscal surplus in recoil, but worst of all is that it is based increasingly on the external bonanza that allows large revenues through withholding exports. And at the same time increasing deductions (whose fundraising is not reported by the provinces), reduces the income of the provinces which aggravates the fiscal situation of the same. To less competitiveness and less fiscal surplus, we must add another deterioration in the situation of the Argentine economy: strong growth of public debt.

After a successful restructuring of the public debt with an important removes and a substantial improvement in the structure of the debt, today, to three years of the closure of the megacanje of the debt (which occurred on 25 February 2005), the current amount of government debt is not very different from the existing prior to the crisis of 2001. Currently Argentina public debt amounts to US $144.728,6 million. Well, actually the real figure is higher since this amount does not consider the holdouts and would be even greater, according to several analysts, if the inflation data declared by the Government exacted more than estimated by the market (for the Argentine consulting firm Econometrica, if the Government would have validated a 17% inflation debt would have increased another $4,800 million during that period). The truth is that this public debt figure is at levels which had in the end of the De la Rua Government, when the crisis broke. And not only in nominal terms but also as a percentage of GDP.

Deterioration of competitiveness, fiscal surplus and increase in the public debt to the 2001 levels can be something worse? Yes, and step to enumerate: the increase in dependence on the external surplus of agricultural exports, the increase in dependence on the fiscal surplus of withholding exports, an excessive increase in subsidies to avoid major increases in prices, with derivations on the distortion of relative prices in the economy. To all this we must add a not favourable context for the development of productive (especially the long-term investments that require a context of stability to invest), also is reflected in (missing fuels and electric energy) energy problems. And as icing on cake, turned to install an evil with force with which the country lived for a long time and that seemed banished: the inflationary problem the Argentines have become accustomed to living with inflation and that is worrying. Is still time to change to avoid this situation arising in a new crisis the new Minister of economy may do it?

Yes System

United Kingdom has a system of parliamentary uninominal. This prevents forces that draw less than 30% at the national level have a significant representation in the House of Commons and to this always there are only two major parties alternating in power (labour and conservatives). The labour left has tended to defend this system and oppose establishing proportional representation because they see labour with 35% of the votes managed to get 55% of the Parliament. However, this model prevented this have an own electoral profile and constantly obliges you always head down to the right of his party under the threat that Yes is not subjected to address labour could split up and allow conservatives to explosions in the elections. This system although today reduced the number of seats for the Conservatives, works in favour of these because it neutralizes to those who want to capitalize on discontent with this Government by the left and makes Brown wear be channelled through them.

Thai Name

They called it Pizza Hut because they made pizzas and the store looked like a hut (hut, in English). Ray-Ban: The first Crystal Bay-Ban was green, protected from the strong brightness and had an additive that hitherto not found in any other lens: eliminated the ultraviolet and infrared rays. These three characteristics gave rise to that was his name: Ray-Ban, a sort of play on words that comes to mean in English something like that as haraam to rays. Red Bull: The Austrian Dietrich Mateschitz is associated at the end of the Decade of the eighties of the last century with a Thai businessman who sold one drink at petrol stations to avoid that drivers sleep behind the wheel. A bull and a sun appeared in the design of your brand. And here the Red Bull is born.

He subsequently adapted the flavor to the European taste creating a drink that expresses power, energy, strength and value. Another version is that the drink contains a component called taurine and hence the name of Bull (toro in English). Scalextric: In 1947, British businessman Fred Francis manufactured a few Tin strollers that functioned with a clock, known as Scalex rope machinery. The prototypes later, advanced with the incorporation of the power supply. Thus was born Scalextric. Schweppes: Jacob Schweppe Swiss (without the final s) started in 1783 selling mineral water in Geneva. Sony: The President of the company, Akio Morita, created this name in 1946 based on the Latin word sonus (sound) and the song Sonny boy.

Sun: Three engineers in 1982 founded Sun (Stanford University Network) to manufacture servers that facilitate communication between large computers in businesses and conservation and transfer of data. Talgo: The name of the logo of the Spanish railways train has the initials of: articulated train light Goicochea Oriol.

Bolivarian Venezuela

There are no shortcuts. Moreover, detract from its findings, this author could already be manifesting symptoms of contagion perceptor, of both stir with a stick right-wing matter and hallucinating opposition. But given this order of things, dual, where some say the truth and others do not, and vice versa, and where the sources are only credible if they respond to the particular particular political profession seems propitious occasion to present the following layouts, valid for reflection on both sides, one of them (the political right) committed to see what does not exist and the other (left)not see what Yes. Let’s bead. There is no doubt, and pod requests arrangements and care with the same strength and optimism with which we celebrate that the Bolivarian revolution has brought to the Venezuelan people a better quality of life index. The first case is broken down this way: the UN just certify Venezuela ranked 58 as the country with the highest index of human development (IDH), with a sustained growth since 2003, taking as criteria of evaluation aspects such as education, health and economy. In fact, the Organization topped that Venezuela is among the five countries with the highest sustained growth since that year, made or news all taken into account in the usual credible information portals of the Venezuelan opposition to anything. It has its version of reality and point, and worth a whistle that will tell you that the wall pointing is not black but white. Nothing say that right now itself, when I finish this writing, (other UN unit) FAO just deliver an opinion that Venezuela is one of the countries best fed in Latin America: the kilocalories ingested by Venezuelans reach the daily 2.790, above the figure recommended by some authors for an adult man (2,700). But Let’s see more samples and more buttons: to present the opposition refuses to recognize that the same organization (now as UNDP: United Nations Development Programme) stated to Venezuela as illiteracy-free territory, October 28, 2005.
