tape a few days ago, the Venezuelan director and producer Marcel Enrique Rasquin Aular, made headlines when the Russian capital The film won the audience award, criticism and the top prize, San Jorge de Oro, in the latest edition of the renowned Moscow film festival Class After a special presentation, the Venezuelan press was able to know why the recognition and understood that she and her players, give more to talk about after its release to the public on July 2.



On one occasion during an interview for another item of Sinflash, Rasquin said:

"Brother is not a story of guns and profanity neighborhood, is a history of ties, love, solidarity, what worth it to pursue a dream, the possibility of achieving on the things you have to sacrifice to achieve the dream of brotherhood "and it could not have defined better.





is a film well done and, unlike other nationals, very well told that takes the viewer on a thrill ride set in the reality of many Venezuelans. The most important thing is that actually does something to the person who sees and gives a clear and important message. A movie made with national talent certainly worth seeing. Certain technical details such as the grain of the image in certain scenes or cuts that may be a little strange, at many levels are back to unexpected outcome, exciting, crucial and proper that has the story.

Maybe when you leave the function where "no choice" fell, not only you but also your opinion of the Venezuelan film has changed a bit. It is very likely to come out recommending "Brother" as the first choice for enjoying quality. This time if the tickets are not recommended, at least you can be proud of a large Venezuelan product.

"Brother" the big screen Golea

Brother, the debut of Marcel Rasquin which premieres this Friday, could be the cool of a country, represented in a football team, whose dreams are dashed by thousands of obstacles such as lack of infrastructure and support, lack of tradition in this sport, corruption and politics embedded in sports bodies and even resentment, hatred and selfishness, which sometimes prevents us from working in groups. But this is not the intention of the film Rasquin, rather prefers to focus on the "small" story of two foster brothers, which actually crushes, hot flashes, it breaks leaving the road full of thorns and glass matches.


Daniel and Julio
play soccer in the neighborhood of the ash. Want to go far in a sport that does not reign in your environment preferences, which makes the dream more dramatic, "an environment dominated by violence, drugs, alcohol, mob, unwanted pregnancies ...

From the first scene, Brother catches the viewer. A hook is used to heartbreaking reality: that of a baby abandoned in a dumpster, with a cry that pierces the conscience. Then come the very well done sequences of football training and matches, and violence in the neighborhood. Marcel

Rasquin uses little or no known actors (Fernando Moreno and Elihu Armas, as Daniel and July; Marcela Girón, like her mother, and Ali's Rondon, as the gatekeeper) to make plausible situations that take them away from any association with characters and stories from the TV, half the culture prevailing in Venezuela. However, there are professionals like Gonzalo Cubero, a coach who plays a very important patriarchal role in the plot, and Alberto Rowinsky, as the coach of Caracas FC.

is gratifying encounter with films like this in the national cinema, with a good story full of drama, emotion and sensitivity. Venezuelan film Gol!

My Water Sticker Pink

first option, Venezuelan biologist

Hoenicka Janet White heads the Neuroscience Laboratory, Psychiatry Service, Hospital 12 de Octubre in Madrid, whose research team discovered the involvement A novel protein in the predisposition to addiction. S UMAD a piece the complex puzzle that is the human genome gives clues about the biological factors associated with addiction.
The discovery was published in the latest issue of the journal Biology Psychiatry, as a result of an investigation that began seven years ago with the genetic marker analysis TaqI is the most studied in psychiatry and its relationship with alcoholism.






According to Dr. Janet Hoenicka, principal investigator of the study, "in 2004 found that this marker was within ANKK1 gene and not within DRD2 as was supposed, and until our work is published no one had described its functionality, or found their protein. "

According to the researchers, the study not only has identified the new protein, but also their location in space and time.

"We now know that protein is ANKK1 brain cells known as astroglial which are present not only in the adult brain, but also in the embryonic period. These cells assume a large number of key roles in nervous activity."


The researcher explains that "the discovery of the protein is the missing piece to a better understanding of the relationship between the marker of this gene and these associated psychiatric disorders, and stresses that the results of research open a new scenario for deeper understanding of mental disorders.

Laboratory of Neuroscience Psychiatry Department of the Doce de Octubre hospital develops several research focused on the relationship of this novel protein with the dopaminergic system in the brain.

research paves the way for the creation of drugs that act on the brain dopamine system in the treatment of social ills. In the future, when comprehensive genetic profiles can be established, the knowledge generated will identify the individual who is most at risk of becoming addict and avoid consumption.
"As part of the vulnerability is in the genes, we can observe the behavior of one's family and know that if there is a higher incidence of addiction, then we must be careful.




Science and Environment" We got daily with a different brain "

Hoenicka Janet White graduated from the Universidad Simón Bolívar for over 20 years and has focused his studies of biology in the brain, a topic that passion and that he says still have a long way .

"It's something as complex as behavior, which is a reflection of what happens in the brain.
There are many neurons, each is a single cell and each time you create another synapse. It's wonderful.
brain plasticity
That is a lot to learn. "Hoenicka, 45 years old, received his doctorate in 1994 at the Center for Molecular Biology Severo Ochoa, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain.

Janet Hoenicka, researcher Main work, is also the IP of the two FIS projects they have funded the study. For her, the first key finding, the identification of gene expression, since until now no one knew that there was no protein was visualized ANKK1-is "the missing piece to a better understanding of this phenomenon Genetic and underlying pathology related disorders Taq IA.

What Temperature To Operate A Wood Stove

The nephews held at Simon

About 82 Birthday Simon Diaz, his "pupils" pay tribute remembering television children's program that 25 years ago, shared his side by Simon Answer: The children's program from one generation



by Efrain Castillo August 2010






"Notichamo, notichamo, the best Venezuelan children news", "From hammock to hammock ..."," Boy, give me that 'china '!. " If these phrases sound familiar, you are part of the childishness that between 1985 and 1991, spent evenings Venezolana de TV tuned to meet the "Simon" and "nephews" in one of the representative of the TV programs of the year eighties: Answer by Uncle Simon, show especially aimed at children, created by renowned musician and composer Simon Diaz.


Although born as a program broadcast on Friday in which Diaz infants placed to compete around the country singing songs about the Venezuelan culture, public acceptance was such that shortly later, the format was expanded to four additional daily shows with music and Creole dances, science councils, history and even ecology. Especially with children as hosts.



Thus, two females and two males who had not completed elementary school and represented the vernacular mestizaje became leaders of their own spaces and Venezuela all adopted them as his "cousins" on television. Virgilio Garcia (Chusmita), Wilmer Machado (Coquito) Zurima Teresita Barba and Duke had risen to fame and their names would be tattooed on the imagination of a generation in the shadow of a big tree: Uncle Simon.

25 years later, the kids then pass different worlds, but all agree that answers by Uncle Simon is one of the milestones on national TV, now dominated by reggaeton and violence. Click, read and hear the different stories and memories that the "nephews" of the "old horse" wanted share about your way through this program and its significance for the country.



Chusmita, the first
Virgilio Garcia Tirado (Chusmita) Simón Díaz met before the program answers by Uncle Simon was conceived. In fact, both recorded a duet in 1983 that formed the basis for the educational concept of the show created by the author of Old Horse
arguably Virgilio Garcia Tirado is the first artistic nephew Simon Diaz, because before was born by Uncle Simon and Answers took some time working with him. "When I was five (1980) participated in the Eurovision Song Sensational Kids who organized Saturday and stayed in second place with the song Hey Chusmita, Luis Cruz, who earned the nickname that I retain today. In 1983, Oscar Serfaty, my musical godfather, he suggested to Simon that I write a song, a duet recorded and thus was born the subject of questions and answers between us. Then we did some educational micros and he decided to make the program. "
As a soldier to soldier was Virgil during the six years of the show. "This program was purity Beauty and learning: it was our playground, but, above all, promoting brotherhood.
Although his hair is no longer "cut gourd" of children and was even overlook some entries, likes I still remember as one of the "cousins". Today 35, Virgil 12-rearing a daughter, kills "Tigritos" Creole singer and is one of the ways that drew Díaz. "I have a program in www.radioclickdigital. com (Venezuela Digital), which are exposed to new singers. We want to create a label for those values, because we have to take care of our culture. And that I learned from Simon, a University of wisdom. "
dulcemaria, another niece
dulcemaria Pilonieta began as a model of the program. Shortly thereafter had greater participation. Today is manager and holds a graduate degree in human resources.

How did you get answers from Uncle Simon?
"It was in 1985. The program was looking at" pecosita. What little I remember from that is that I was a day to study and we were introduced to the three finalists in the program (Jessica Another girl and I). Then we had to go to an audition with the musical director, who made us sing, dance and act. At first I was not selected because it was Jessica's choice, but a month I was called to enter in the program as a "model". My duties were to be next to the participants of the answer and then take the prize: a basket of products. Then, over time, but soon I was giving more responsibility to be on par with my other colleagues, who already had a year of seniority within the program. "

Any story you can recall about one of the programs?
"Yes, the final gala of Festichamo. It was a live show we did in a theater (the others were under consideration). We prepared well in advance all the choreography and had to rehearse over and over again. We could not afford to be wrong, because the public was ahead. We had direct contact with him. In addition we used our best clothes. Usually sing live, but in this case went to the studio to record vocals. That was very exciting. Also I have very fond memories of when we were touring the countryside. The people were very open. They gave us gifts, we opened the doors of their houses. Are dedicated her for showing her love. "

What you meant to have been one of the reference children's productions of the 80 television?
" In my case, five wonderful years that also have fun doing it, we learned many things about our country and values \u200b\u200bthat make today we are who we are and I would say that as it was for me, it was for all generation following us every day. "
What did you do after this program?
" After leaving the program and participated in numerous soap operas for television unit (Empress, Wild Animal World, Beautiful, dangerous, Macarena, Sin of Love, all for your love, love spells, among others). At the same time I studied Tourist Business Administration and then did a postgraduate degree in Human Resources. Since leaving television, I have worked in companies related with my studies. "

Your memories of Simon Diaz?
" means "my Uncle Simon," a guy who every evening I taught to know and love my country. By Simon I have a deep affection because I think part of the cultural heritage of Venezuela "

dulcemaria What are you doing today?
"Estoy radicada en España, país en el que vivo desde hace 5 años. Estoy casada y tengo una hermosa hija de 6 años que tiene la vena artística de su madre y que cada día me sorprende con sus ocurrencias, su picardía y hasta con sus travesuras".



El "Supercoquito"
Wilmer Machado quedó inmortalizado como Coquito luego que ingresó a Contesta por tío Simón en 1985.

"Se busca un niño de color arrosquetao, de cabello ensortijao, que sing, to dance and is talkative. "Wilmer Machado still remember the call in verse TV did Simon Diaz for the casting of boys who, like him, wanted to be part of this space." The program was to air Chusmita, Teresita and Zurima, but they wanted a fourth member, Simon requirement that had to be bold. I went to a test, I began to sing and dance with Therese and I agreed. In my first appearance, he held back at the feet of Simon with a bike and said 'I Coquito' (the name he had given me). "
" The lu, the lu, the lu, Monday are Coquito, Coquito with Uncle Simon Pa'que get a bit here on television, "said the song that still salute him on the street, which he considers the greatest expression of public affection. Uncle Simon answered by highlighting the legacy of Venezuelans." Whoever do not remember it, Simon did Festichamo, a festival that promoted the national anthem and child talent. We show that it can exalt our culture without boring and can get a healthy television.
already entered in the thirties, Machado is on TV, makes theater (runs through his monologue Crisilda Caracas) is an orchestra and studies theater the UCV. "I have worked as assistant director commercials and films. "Now he wants to reunite the cast of a show in tribute to its founder:" Simon gave us the opportunity to enter this world through the front door. He told us that we are all equal, we have the color we have, we go on television or not. And that I say great. "
The thrill of Teresita

crinejas The brunette girl who accompanied Simon as one of his nephews on television is today a 35 year old mother and three children who longs to see programs such as those co-starred.
"Theresa, have a trial!" Said a voice in one of the segments as she headed the cast of Answer by Uncle Simon and Theresa with Uncle Simon, whenever he looked like a naughty girl to which he climbed the two crinejas by a mischief.
now become a 35 year old mother, Mrs. Teresita Duque repeats the same phrase to his three children (18, eight and six years of age) every time you must guide them. But more than that longs for programs like the one she co-starred. "The guy brought education, values. With us transmitting the idea that children can have fun learning. And that's not what you see today, because everything is cry and violence. For me this program was a school, I learned to sing, counterpoint and knew it was a tune. We met the Venezuelan culture, but also science and even how to protect endangered animals. The amazing thing is that my kids enjoy my videos. "
Away from the small screen and reside in Barlovento, Duke worked as a singer in the orchestra of the National Guard for 15 years." I am delighted when I recognized in the street, although I have not the crinejas (laughs). Indeed, in some dances of the orchestra asked me to sing 'On Thursday Teresita is the excitement of this bold the one with Uncle Simon '. "
The girl who in 1981 was unveiled on Saturday singing The Sensational Caracolito, is grateful to have had as a mentor Simon Diaz. "I grew up with him and to celebrate my 15 years together in a TV studio. He was and is my greatest teacher. "

That Zurima, on Tuesday the
In long, straight hair, Zurima Barba noted for his sweet image and great stature. The now impeached in the U.S. model is proud to be artistic niece of Simon Diaz, whom he considers the country's cultural heritage.

"Today is Tuesday Zurima, Zurima with Uncle Simon. I put my heart, you tuning." This was what he sang the slender girl with straight hair Zurima Barba at the beginning of each issue on its agenda. The girl then became the woman who posed in the photo with chameleon-like grace that is: professional model runway, catalogs and commercial for 16 years. Impeached between Miami and New York, the mannequin 34 (turns 35 in October and just got married ") does not forget his way through this show.
"They took me to walk eight-channel telephone account, and when I got Simon was there and asked me if I sang. I said yes. He took the four, I heard and ended up recording a commercial with him for San Juan de Dios hospital. Four months later I called to answer by Uncle Simon. What began as something little it became huge. We did concerts in the interior, sing in arenas. I was very lucky to be there, because we did a very noble work for children. We changed them their 'Chinese' with balls that do not kill birds. In addition, this program was devoted to rescue the folklore. "
Despite the distance, recalls with particular affection for his companions." Recently I met with Coquito and it was nice to laugh at these things, because even if we was sad when the project ended, we realized that life goes on. "
" Thank You "is the word that he dedicated to Uncle Simon." For the country is an example. Released our music in the world and their work, in my generation, we knew a little over Venezuela. For me it was a second father. The last time I saw him was at a concert at Carnegie Hall in New York. I walked over and said, 'I Zurima'. She hugged me and said, 'How you've grown, girl. " 'But I'm still your niece and I say proudly,' I replied. "

News that he rejoiced over life of a Venezuelan Saturday morning, when the news agency EFE that unanimously released the jury chaired by the English writer Espido Freire selected the work of the Venezuelan, including a total of 131 concurrent .



"Right now I am amazed and surprised, like when you dilate the pupil," said Pino. His novel will be published by "pretext" and presented next year in Almendralejo.



In an exclusive interview lapatilla.com, Cameron tells the story of how he wrote his novel. And it is the son of Elijah Camilo Pino Iturrieta: Son of cat mouse game.

He thought "I have nothing to do with the outcome of the game (World)", but the accented voice said, "You've won the prize," he laughs, mimicking the voice of English that gave him the good news.
For this Venezuelan
39, Carolina Coronado prize is a surprise. But what surprised him most is that people in Spain "has read" the novel. "Not only read, but with each line is hit again." Not lost interest, so exciting the subject.
still digesting the thrill of winning the prize, says that "everything starts at a time when everyone has to give, there is a plague, invasion of vultures and politics, soldiers potheads, things aside as very light, very tragic, "he says.
began writing three years ago, when he had time "but later became an obsession, so much that I spent my vacation, my mornings off ... the last manuscript was in March," he recalls.
Until one day, looked for a publishing contests online that was not too great, and "pretext" it seemed "a good editorial." And as they had thought "very nice book and very respected," he thought he could have a chance of winning Carolina Coronado, it also had a good jury, and he, " a more or less interesting story. "

I was with a friend in the Univesidad Central de Venezuela (UCV) with his friend Carlos Palacios and brother of a friend. "When I saw everything from the roof of the ucevé (UCV) when everything was smoke all over the city." Cree that is when everything is defined. "It starts there, from what has happened to the presidency and to our generation a bit lost," sentence.
Hence comes his novel, with "a lot of drama and confusion, as an apocalyptic story, as if the world were to end, but not finished.

The plot



"Vulture Valley" is the first work of Camilo Pino, "a bildungsroman set in Venezuela in 1989, during a social explosion, known as the Caracazo." The maturation process of young Alejandro Roca is the center of gravity of the novel.

A mismatch loving and social earthquake of February 27 have a transformative effect on the protagonist's life. A background story about an invasion of birds of prey, becomes increasingly apocalyptic and eventually merges with the Caracazo riots.
A narrative line parallel, on the failure of a hippie commune, was established as a bridge between the fantasies of Alexander and the final outcome.
Vulture Valley plunges the reader into a world of stark and returns
enriched by an experience of collective value, but the journey is far from a free fall. It is rather a journey between feelings, a roller coaster that goes from comic to tragic, from the ridiculous to the sublime.
A judge fugitive, a drug addict soldier, blinded by their own choice, old guards, the world is mutating Vulture Valley, and nobody is what Vulture Valley offers.
A genuine look of youth and the Latin American city. Sometimes bold, sometimes puerile. A novel in which the protagonist confronts social taboos and beliefs, and emotionally involved in the process to its protagonists.
