BIG WORD ON TWO RUNNING AT 
WOLVERHAMPTON THIS EVENING




I will keep this short & sweet .

I have just received word on two runners at Wolverhampton tonight that are fully expected to win by connections.

My contact is down there at the moment at the stables & rang me as soon as he got the word.

As well as being a very successful punter, he is very close with a lot of trainers, staff & owners & was invited down for this evenings meeting. I know he will be getting as much as he can on.

He has been abroad recently, so hadn't spoken to him for a couple of weeks, so it was a very nice surprise to receive his call.  But he has assured me that we will be hearing more from him from now on.

We will be having a double on these two & it looks like we could be landing quite a nice one tonight .


Members get these two as part of their membership & I can pass these two on to another 20 people.

You will be charged a one-off fee of just £5.99 for BOTH runners

NO WAITING - YOU WILL GET BOTH HORSES INSTANTLY*

Organizing for Action


The folks who are pushing to repeal Obamacare day-in and day-out are having trouble, as it becomes increasingly clear that tearing away their constituents' health care is tremendously unpopular -- not to mention cruel and irresponsible.

So they're trying to do it through the back door.

First, Obamacare opponents pulled outreach efforts that were already paid for right before January's enrollment deadline -- effectively barring hundreds of thousands of people from getting coverage -- in an attempt to weaken the insurance market. Now they've gone a step further.

Today, the administration put out a proposal clearly aimed at sabotaging the law at the expense of the people who depend on it. They are proposing that next year's enrollment period be cut in half. They're proposing giving insurance companies free rein to raise deductibles, narrow people's choice of doctors, and put up restrictions for people from getting covered mid-year when they have a child or lose their employer-based insurance.

I am not making this up. The proposal literally admits the new rules will result in "a transfer from consumers to insurers." That is to say, more of your money will be forked over to insurance companies.

Fortunately, we're still governed by some rules in this country, so this proposal, by law, has to allow the public to have their say. So that's exactly what we're going to do.

We're gathering public comments on this outrageous proposal. If you agree we should strengthen insurance coverage and consumer protections -- not weaken them -- speak up and add your comment now.

Obamacare opponents have spent years complaining about this law -- even as it's driven the uninsured rate to an all-time low and given more than 20 million Americans and their families the peace of mind that comes with having health care.

It looks like they can't stomach the repercussions they'd face from repeal, so instead they're taking this cowardly tack -- sneakily gutting the law and desperately trying to pin the blame on someone else.

We will not let that happen.

Your voice matters. By law, this administration -- who is deliberately creating chaos and uncertainty -- has to consider every comment, so don't wait to add yours.

Speak out

NEW ERA FOR GUYANA: OIL, BORDERS AND RELATIONS WITH THE USA

It is not often that Guyana (population: 800,000; area: 83,000 square miles), the small English-speaking country perched on the South American continent, makes the pages of the Washington Post, but with the recent appointment of Rex Tillerson as the new US Secretary of State, there has been some specula-tion in the Post regarding his links to his former company, ExxonMobil, the company’s oil exploration in Guyanese waters, and his attitude to Venezuela.
In his presentation, Dr. Riyad Insanally, Ambassador of Guyana to the USA, will seek to address a few misconceptions arising in the media and put in per-spective the quest for oil and the prospects for economic transformation in Guyana, against the backdrop of the existential threats posed by Venezuela’s spurious claim to two-thirds of Guyana’s land territory and most of Guyana’s maritime space.

Dinámicas de la narración factual y ficcional en las letras coloniales: Naufragios [1542] de Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca e Infortunios de Alonso Ramírez [1690] de Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora

Este trabajo se constituye a partir de una proposición literariamente admisible: la presencia de narrativas en el periodo Colonial frente a la común e intemperante pregunta: ¿Por qué no se produjo novela durante los trescientos años de la colonia? Con la afirmación de estas narrativas, trataremos un conjunto de obras que se producen en la etapa de formación colonial. Este contexto marcado por el proceso de constitución de la conciencia criolla, es coherente con toda narración inscrita en Libros de viajes, Relaciones, Crónicas, conformando —en el periodo Colonial— la hegemonía del discurso factual sobre el discurso ficcional, en textos que representan no solo las transformaciones del sujeto español indiano, sino también la emergente subjetividad criolla que caracteriza la nueva cultura y su relación con el mundo indígena. Para efectos del corpus narrativo, este trabajo propone esta primera etapa Colonial, incorporando dos obras desafectadas de la preocupación de los estudios literarios e historiográficos: 1) Naufragios [1542] de Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca. 2) Infortunios de Alonso Ramírez [1690] de Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora. Estas narrativas factuales enmascararon las estrategias ficcionales, que después se incorporarán con toda propiedad, a las prácticas y técnicas que caracterizarán las Literaturas de América.

El Negro Raúl: Lives and Afterlives of an Afro-Argentine Celebrity (1886-Present)

Abstract
Ideas about race are always a set of narratives about who people are and are not. Sometimes these narratives take the form of classic stories with fixed characters, plots, and morals, and are passed on across generations and in multiple genres. The stories surrounding “el Negro Raúl,” an Afro-Argentine man who rose to fame in early twentieth-century Buenos Aires, illuminate the special power of narrative to shape racial attitudes. Raúl’s life and semi-fictional afterlives, which commentators construed as oddities in a homogeneously white nation, also shed light on the construction and meanings of dominant racial ideologies in Argentina since the early 1900s.
Paula Alberto is the author of Terms of Inclusion: Black Intellectuals in Twentieth-Century Brazil (University of North Carolina Press, 2011) and co-editor, with Eduardo Elena, of Rethinking Race in Modern Argentina (Cambridge University Press, 2016).
