Rayna's oil
another murdered poet?
[from Adeline Bash @ the santiago times, 11 July 2011]
Judge orders formal investigation into Neruda’s death
New insight into case questions death record that state poet died of prostate cancer.
The circumstances surrounding the death of Chile’s legendary poet Pablo Neruda have caused rumors and speculations for years.
The date, for example, September 23, 1973 — only 12 days after Augusto Pinochet’s military coup and the death of then President Salvador Allende — sparked legends that Neruda, a leader of the communist and close friend of Allende, died of a broken heart.
Up until recently, however, most Chileans — including the Neruda family — consented with death records stating that the writer died on September 23, 1973 at the Santa María Clinic in Santiago of advanced prostate cancer.
But in light of new information on the case, investigators have reconsidered this position. Most recently, after pressure from the Chilean Communist Party, Marío Carroza, the judge leading the investigation, reopened the case last month.
Suspicion over Neruda’s death arose this year after Manuel Araya, Neruda’s personal assistant and chauffeur, claimed during an interview with Mexican newspaper Proceso that the writer did not die of cancer but was assassinated.
Araya’s claims have been backed by testimony from Mexican ambassador Gonzalo Martínez Corbala, who was with Neruda when he died.
Upon admission to the clinic, Corbala claims, Neruda was in a stable condition and was finalizing plans to flee to Mexico in the wake of coup. Corbala has not personally expressed suspicion over Neruda’s death, but has confirmed that later that day a clinic doctor injected Neruda with a “calming substance” and he went into cardiac arrest and died soon after.

Columbus Bring Syphilis to Europe?
Said that in the 18th century, the philosopher Voltaire called the discoverer of the Americas, Christopher Columbus, as carriers of syphilis to Europe in the 15th century. Now, a study to prove the same thing.
Recorded syphilis venereal disease was first discovered among the French mercenaries who arrived in Naples, Italy, in 1495. From Naples, syphilis then expand to the rest of Europe.
At the end of the 15th century, syphilis was commonly known as the 'Spanish disease' in Scotland, Belgium, and Portugal. While Italy, Germany and Britain called it a "disease of Naples'.
Well, two years before the disease was recorded in Naples that is 1493, Columbus had just returned from his adventure to the New World, America.
Historians believe that the mercenary army that was the crew of Columbus who contracted the disease from Native American women.
But the evidence is very common. In fact, many experts argue, syphilis originated in Europe, then brought to America, mutate and then brought back to Europe.
That's based on phylogenetic evidence, a science that examines the evolutionary chain between organisms. A team led by Kristin Harper of Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, who did it. The team compared the different types of families of bacteria called treponemes that cause syphilis and related diseases 3 of 26 places around the world.
They found syphilis is the latest family member of treponeme. Syphilis is a close cousin of a tropical disease called yaws or yaws. Yaws is a more benign skin disease from syphilis and was transmitted through sex.
The hypothesis the researchers were, Columbus crew is infected with yaws, then the bacteria to travel deep into the cooler and drier in Europe and develop into syphilis.
"When this genetic data combined with extensive documentary evidence, the hypothesis of Columbus for syphilis is getting stronger," says the study, as quoted by AFP on Thursday (17/01/2008).
Or yaws yaws itself are also not native to America. Yaws from syphilis caused by Treponema pallidum that, which were not initially infected. Then the bacteria were brought to the New World and evolved so yaws.
After developing a disease that infects so, then the sailors were brought back to Europe. Treponema pallidum also raged into diseases such as syphilis are known now.

naming streets
[a big thank you to Pete F. who pointed me to this article from David Cummings @ Escape from America Magazine, 11 July 2011]
A Short History of Argentina in its Street Names
No matter in which town, big or small you find yourself in Argentina you notice the same street names time after time. It doesn’t matter if you are in Buenos Aires or Tapalque where my estancia, La Margarita, is located you will still find these street names again and again.
One thing is for sure Argentina is proud of its heroes and anniversaries. But who are these heroes and what happened on these dates that have streets named after them in almost every town in Argentina? The In answer to these agonizing questions here are answers to the ten most popularly named streets so that the next time you find yourself in say Av. 9 de Julio in Buenos Aires you will know just what happened on that date – pub quizzes will have no fear for you after you read this short article!
What was amazing on researching this little article I decided to ask my Argentine friends to give me the low down on their heroes and famous dates – the only one they could really be sure of was St Martin and even then they weren’t quite sure of the facts – so this article will no doubt not only appeal to the tourists amongst you but to those Argentines who missed a few history lessons at school – it’s all fascinating stuff so here goes:
Av.9 de Julio: Almost without exception all towns in Argentina will have a street named Av.9 de Julio. It will also normally be the main street. Av.9 de Julio in Buenos Aires is said to be the widest avenue in the world – that’s arguable but it’s certainly wide and crossing it you have plenty of time to reflect on why it’s thought to be this as you dodge the traffic light jumpers.
In fact the 9th of July 1816 was the date that Argentina finally declared Independence from Spain. Declared by the Congress of Tucumán as United Provinces of South America, which is still a legal name of the Argentine Republic. Due to the disruptions in Spain, Argentina saw its chance to be rid of the hated Spanish (they obviously knew about the coming Costa del Sol questionable vacations). A congress was arranged on March 24, 1816 and the idea was to vote for independence. It took until 9th July 1816 to finally declare a state of Independence in Argentina. The house where the historic declaration was made in Tucumán has been rebuilt and is now a museum and monument open to tourists.
Av. Rivadavia: Av. Rivadavia in Buenos Aires was originally the main thoroughfare out of the city before the auto routes were built – try it on a Friday night and you will lose the will to live. It still is a very important route out of the city but just who was Señor Rivadavia and why is he responsible for all those traffic jams?
Trinidad González Bernardino Rivadavia to give him his full name was a lieutenant when the British invaded Argentina. He was elected to be the first President of Argentina. He was appointed by the then Congress in February 8, 1826 until July 7 1827 – a pretty short term the reason being that the same Congress that elected him was dissolved in 1827. He continued to serve his country for some time after but eventually retired to Spain (Costa del Sol no doubt!) where he died in 1845. His remains were repatriated to Argentina in 1857, receiving honors as Captain General. Today his remains rest in a mausoleum located in the Plaza Miserere, adjacent to Av.Rivadavia named in his honor.
Av. Belgrano: Named after Manuel Belgrano who was an important figure in the creation of Argentina. He participated in The War of Independence against Spain. His most lasting contribution is that he created the flag of Argentina in the town of Rosario. He also oddly supported the idea of a monarchy in Argentina headed by a noble Inca but failed (luckily some may say) to gain support. He died June 20th 1820. June the 20th is a national holiday to recognize this and it is around this day that children at school dress in light white clothing on the coldest day of the year to honor the flag.
Av. Pueyrredón: Juan Martin Pueyrredón was responsible for organizing a team of volunteers against the English in 1806. He was defeated, but later united with the army of Liners to recapture the city in August of that year. He had the vision to see that anarchy was on the horizon in Argentina and he resigned his post in 1819 as supreme director of Argentina. He unfortunately was proved right about anarchy and disorder in Argentina and in 1820 civil war came to Argentina- some say the disorder never went away judging by the driving.
Sarmiento: Domingo Faustino Sarmiento born on 15th Feb 1811 was an Argentine activist, intellectual, writer statesman and was the seventh President of Argentina (1868-1874). His claim to fame in Argentina was the opposition to the dictatorship of Rosas and the support he gave to get democracy for Latin America. He was responsible for introducing and modernizing the train system here and the postal system (umm wish he was around now – there is still work to be done!). He was a champion of education and introduced a comprehensive education system. Sarmiento is also said to have introduced the first vines to Argentina from Chile.
He died in Paraguay in aged 77 but is still one of the most respected Argentines. He is buried in Buenos Aires.
25 de Mayo: The May Revolution was a week-long series of revolutionary events that took place from May 18th to May 25th 1810 in Buenos Aires against the Spanish and it eventually succeeded in ousting Spain’s control of Argentina. It was a time when Napoleon’s France, who had taken over half the country in 1810, had weakened Spain. However, it took until 9th July 1816 for Argentina to be fully rid of Spain and gain it true independence.
Bartolomé Mitre: Bartolomé Mitre was, amongst other things, President of Argentina. He was born in the City of Buenos Aires in a building on the corner of Suipacha and Lavalle. Like many of his contemparies he went into exile for his opposition to the murderous Rosas. He returned to Argentina after the defeat of Rosas and in 1862 was elected President of Argentina. During his tenure he introduced the metric system. He was also involved in the Triple Alliance where Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina united to go to war against Paraguay – one of Latin Americas saddest days – Paraguay never recovered.
He is buried in the cemetery in Recoleta.
Almirante Brown: Almirante Brown was Irish being born in County Mayo Ireland in 1777. He was the first Admiral of the Argentina Navy. He is said to have served in the British Royal Navy before coming to Argentina in 1810. He battled against the Spanish, Brazilians and other enemies of Argentina but refused to have anything to do with internal conflict when civil war came. He died in 1857.
Plaza San Martín: Last but not least, no doubt about it, José Francisco de San Martín, born in the Province of Corrientes in Argentina 1778, is the hero of Argentina and is considered the founding son of the country. He fought for Spain against Napoleon and in 1812 came to Argentina to start his campaign against his former employers Spain in the liberation of Chile, Argentina and Peru.
He famously marched across the Andes in the January of 1817 to defeat the Spanish and liberate Chile – no mean feat in the days before there was a Mc Donald’s or Starbucks on each corner.
After his wife died in 1873 he became disillusioned with Argentina (he knew the Kirchners were coming maybe) and started his plans to return to Europe. He settled in Boulogne sur Mer where he died in August 1850. His remains were eventually brought back to Argentina and he is buried in Catedral Metropolitana de Buenos Aires, Argentina located in the Plaza De Mayo.
So there you have it the next time you are in Buenos Aires or even Tapalque you will be able to impress your friends and family with your supreme knowledge of Argentine heroes and celebrations dates.

pork & milk for all
[from El tribuno Salta, 11 July 2011]
Cristina lanzará hoy los programas "Carne de Cerdo y Lácteos para todos"
La presidenta Cristina Kirchner lanzará hoy los programas oficiales Cerdo y Lácteos para Todos, que prevé la comercialización de esos productos a precios más bajos que el promedio del mercado.
Al igual que el plan Carne para Todos, los programas que pondrá en marcha la jefa de Estado a las 17 en la Casa Rosada establecen la comercialización de cerdo y leche en puntos móviles montados en camiones con sistemas frigoríficos.
La iniciativa es impulsada por la Asociación Argentina de Productores Porcinos (AAPP), que conduce Juan Uccelli, a pedido del secretario de Comercio Interior, Guillermo Moreno, por orden de la Presidenta.
Durante la presentación del nuevo plan habrá un camión en la explanada de la Casa Rosada para que Cristina Kirchner realice una compra simbólica (al igual que lo hizo con los programas Carne para Todos y Pescado para Todos). La oferta, que se comercializará en dos camiones que recorrerán en principio el Conurbano bonaerense, consiste en dos bolsas con diferentes productos que contendrán, cada una, unos 4 kilos de cortes.
Habrá dos versiones: una "premium" que costará 40 pesos (incluirá un kilo de carré o pechito, más 1 kilo de chuleta de jamón o chuleta de paleta, y además dos kilos de recortes).
La otra bolsa, a un costo de 30 pesos, contendrá dos kilos de chuletas de paleta y otros dos kilos de recortes.

don't privatize!
[from Jude Webber @ Financial Times, 11 July 2011]
Chile leader’s cheers turn to jeers
Less than a year ago, Sebastián Piñera, Chile’s president, was the hero of the hour – the president whose government had pulled off the incredible feat of rescuing 33 miners trapped underground for two months.
But now his popularity has sunk to 31 per cent, according to a new Adimark poll, lower than any other president in Chilean history, and the cheers have been replaced by jeers from students and environmentalists. Now copper workers at Codelco, the state corporation, are expressing their dissatisfaction over fears that the government plans to privatise the country’s key cash cow.

inflation rate? it's the IMF's fault
[from Tim Worstall @ Forbes, 11 July 2011]
Hmm. So the general thought is that the government is being, umm, less than open perhaps about the real inflation rate. So someone tapping on a calculator and exposing that is unwelcome. Well, yes, but really, bringing down the weight of the law on people who simply disagree with government over the numbers? A bit harsh really, so again, why are they doing this?
About a quarter of Argentina’s debt is indexed to inflation.
Aha!
The official rate is just under 10%, which is the rate that the bondholders get. The real rate….no, sorry, the rate calculated by those private sector economists which of course may or may not be correct….is over 20%.
This argument over the numbers is worth real money then: possibly worth a bit of oppression of private sector economists in the eyes of the Argentine Government.
