MARIO MORENO CANTINFLAS (August 12, 1911April 20, 1993)

Fortino Mario Alfonso Moreno Reyes was a comedian of the Mexican theatre and film industry. The character who he interprated was associated with the national identity of Mexico, his character Cantinflas, was examined by media critics, who saw that it was as a danger to Mexican society.

He married Valentina Ivanova Zubareff, on October 27, 1936, but she died in January, 1966. Mario Moreno had a son in 1961 and he was adopted by his wife Valentina Ivanova and named him Mario Arturo Moreno Ivanova.

Origin of name


As a young man, Cantinflas performed a variety of acts. It was in the circus that he earned the nickname "Cantinflas"; however, the origin of the name is a legend. Maybe, "Cantinflas" is a name invented to prevent his parents from knowing he was in the entertainment business.


Film career

Cantinflas in Águila o sol (1937)
In the mid-1930s, Cantinflas met a Russian producer
Jacques Gelman. Gelman produced, directed, and distributed, while Cantinflas acted. Cantinflas made his film debut in 1936 with No te engañes corazón but the film received little attention. He established Posa Films in 1939, producing short films, but it was in 1940 that he finally became a movie star with Ahí está el detalle.



In 1956, "Cantinflas" American debut earned him a Golden Globe for Best Actor in a musical or comedy.


After returning to Mexico, Cantinflas created his own company, Cantinflas Films and continued making movies until his last, El Barrendero, in 1982.

"Cantinflas" films, to this day, still generate money for Columbia Pictures. In 2000, Columbia reported in an estimated USD$4 million in foreign distribution from the films.

He have made a lot of movies along his life, around 34. But the most important movie for me in "El Padrecito" for all the comic situation that happend. I think it's so funny.

Nowadays he is a legend and even he was mexican, every latin people feel proud of him.

She dieth on February 1939 in Moscow.
Marxist Activist.
Promoted the Sovietic Library System.


She was born in St. Petersburg, Russia on February 1869, her fathers where Konstantín Ignátievich Krupsky an soldier and Elizaveta Vasílevna Tistrova a governess.

Since she was a child she grow up inside a communist family where although her father was a soldier he always thought in the poor people and for that reason he was inside in a trial because one age he was the leader of the district of Grojec where he made built a hospital for the poor people, etc. And he made a survey to the farm workers and this was the main reason because he was got in a trial because that survey was against the farm owners.

Finally he death on February 25, 1883 sick by tuberculosis, after that she and her mother had to work and made several different thinks to survive, although that she could studied and became a teacher and specialize in Russian and Mathematics.

She met Lenin in 1894 as a Marxist Activist, they both where arrested and sentenced to three years of exile during that time they lived in Siberia, finally they got married on July 10, 1898.

Krupskaya was a lover of libraries and developed and promoted the Soviet library system and both Krupskaya and Lenin believed in the importance of libraries, that the conditions of the libraries were an indication of the level of culture.

Krupskaya believed that the "children's book is one of the most powerful weapons of the socialist character-education of the growing generation".

She was able to promote librarianship, through an establishment of a professional library school in St. Petersburg, and retained her influence over the library system until her death. In fact her last public words were pertaining to the future of the Soviet Libraries.

This time I´ve decided to write about this women because when many people listen or think in Socialism o Communist movements the first idea than they have is than those movements where only bad for everybody, but I think it´s the only idea than news or the most common ways of communication tries to give us but we must not believe in things than other say and we have to look for other kinds of information or other sources that could give us a more truth information.

Then is possible to say that she has had a successful musical career, but it doesn’t means everything for her, She worries about the social injustice, and for the problems of her country, also for the children world’s future, and for this reason, she is active member of " UNICEF ", she holds a lot of events to recollect money for this organization and doesn't like to make publicity with this.


Finally is necessary to say that Laura Pausini is my favourite singer, because I think that she has a wonderful voice and her songs are direct and they transmit a mixer of a lot of feelings and emotions, and I must admit that I have felt attraction by the Italian language, since I listened her to sing in this idiom.

FIDEL CASTRO BIOGRAPHY



Fidel Castro Castro was born on Aug. 13, 1926 (some sources give 1927), on a farm in Mayari municipality in the province of Oriente. He attended good Catholic schools in Santiago de Cuba and Havana, where he took to the spartan regime at a Jesuit boarding school, Colegio de Belen.


In 1945 he enrolled at the University of Havana, graduating in 1950 with a law degree. He married Mirta Diaz-Balart in 1948, but they were divorced in 1954. Their son, Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart, born in 1949, has served as head of Cuba's atomic energy commission.


A member of the social-democratic Ortodoxo party in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Castro was an early and vocal opponent of the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. On July 26, 1953, Castro led an attack on the Moncada army barracks that failed but brought him national prominence. At the time, his political ideas were nationalistic, antiimperialist, and reformist; he was not a member of the Communist party.


Following the attack on Moncada, Castro was tried and sentenced to 15 years in prison but was amnestied in 1955. He then went into exile in Mexico, where he founded the 26th of July Movement, vowing to return to Cuba in order to fight against Batista.


In December 1956, he and 81 others, including Che Guevara, returned to Cuba and made their way to the Sierra Maestra, from which they launched a successful guerrilla war. Castro proved himself a strong leader; he also demonstrated shrewd political skills, convinced that he had a historic duty to change the character of Cuban society. Seeing his army collapse, and unable to count on the support of the United States, Batista fled on Jan. 1, 1959, paving the way for Castro's rise to power. In its early phase, Castro's revolutionary regime included moderate politicians and democrats; gradually, however, its policies became radical and confrontational.


Castro remained the unchallenged leader, and the masses whose living conditions he improvedrallied behind him.

He was convinced that the revolution was the unique way to finish with the injustice in Latinamerica, in 1925 he arrived to Mexico when the 26 de Julio movement was unitedgroup was formed for many Cuba revolutionaries under the orders of Fidel Castro, his participation against the dictator Fulgencio Batista was very important.

EL LIBERTADOR


I admire him because I tihink he was the most powerful, and brave man in South America - in his day
Simón Bolívar was a complex man. He was an idealist, an aristocrat secure in his heritage and status, a well-educated man and deep-thinker who liked things done his way, a visionary and a revolutionary.


Simon Bolivar was one of South America's greatest generals. His victories over the Spaniards won independence for Bolivia, Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela. He is called El Liberator (The Liberator) and the "George Washington of South America."
Bolivar was born in July 24, 1783, at Caracas, Venezuela. His parents died when he was a child and he inherited a fortune. As a young man, he traveled in Europe.
As he returned to Venezuela, Bolivar joined the group of patriots that seized Caracas in 1810 and proclaimed independence from Spain. He went to Great Britain in search of aid, but could get only a promise of British neutrality. When he returned to Venezuela, and took command of a patriot army, he recaptured Caracas in 1813 from the Spaniards.
The Spaniards forced Bolivar to retreat from Venezuela to New Granada (now Colombia), also at war with Spain. He took command of a Colombian force and captured Bogota in 1814. The patriots, however, lacked men and supplies, and new defeats led Bolivar to flee to Jamaica. In Haiti he gathered a force that landed in Venezuela in 1816, and took Angostra (now Ciudad Bolivar). He also became dictator there.
Bolivar marched into New Granada in 1819. He defeated the Spaniards in Boyar in 1819, liberating the territory of Colombia. He then returned to Angostura and led the congress that organized the original republic of Colombia (now Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, and Venezuela). Bolivar became its first president on December 17, 1819.
Bolivar crushed the Spanish army at Carabobo in Venezuela on June 24, 1821. Next, he marched into Educador and added that territory to the new Colombian republic. After a meeting in 1822 with another great liberator, Bolivar became dictator of Peru. His army won a victory over the Spaniards at Auacucho in 1824, which needed Spanish power in South America. Upper Peru became a separate state, named Bolivia in Bolivar's honor, in 1825. The constitution, which he drew up for Bolivia, is one of his most important political pronouncements.

Person who I admire

I have a cousin, his name is Cecilia, she is 40 years old, I admire her because when she was born, she had a problem in his hips and the first operation was when she was 2 months old, since this date she had had 12 operations, she traveled around the country with his parents, looking for the best doctors who can operate her.

When she was 9 years ago, she stayed in a hospital of Guayaquil for 4 months, and her parents worked in Cuenca, so she had to stay alone in the hospital along this time, it was hard for a little girl.

Now, she is fine, she has 2 children, she studied very much and she became Chemical Engineer, actually she is the director of her carrier in the University.

I admired her because, in spite of the problems that she had had, she had known overcome them, and now she is very happy with her family.
