ORLANDO, Florida, USA (AP) - No one can blame this on McDonald's: Researchers have found signs of heart disease in mummies from 3,500 years old.
"We think (these diseases) as being caused by modern risk factors, such as fast food, smoking and lack of exercise, but the results show that they are not the only reasons for clogged arteries, said Dr. Randall Thompson, a cardiologist at the Mid America Heart Institute in Kansas City.
Thompson and other researchers used CT scans, a type of x-ray in 22 Egyptian mummies at the National Museum of Antiq? Ages in Cairo.
mummified bodies belonged to individuals who lived between 1981 BC and 334 AD It is believed that half were over 45 when he died, when the average life expectancy was less than 50. Sixteen mummies
heart tissue and blood vessels to be analyzed. In nine of them was definite or probable hardening of the arteries.
"We were surprised by the similar appearance of vascular calcification in mummies and our patients today," said another researcher, Dr. Michael Miyamoto, University of California at San Diego. "Perhaps the development of atherosclerosis is part of being human," he added.
A mummy showed evidence of a possible heart attack, but scientists do not know if it was fatal. Nor can they weighed how these people because dehydrates the body mummification.
Of those whose identities could be determined, all were of high social status and many served in Pharaoh's court or as priests or priestesses.
"Rich people ate meat, and put salt on the meat, so maybe they had hypertension, but that's speculation," said Thompson.
With modern diets, "somehow we all live in the Pharaoh's court," said another of the researchers, Dr. Samuel Wann, the Heart Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
The oldest mummy with signs of heart disease was the Lady Rai, nanny of Queen Ahmose Nefertari, who died around 1530 BC, 200 years before King Tut.
The German company Siemens AG, National Bank of Egypt and the Mid America Heart Institute of the United States funded the study. The results appear in this week's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association and were released on Tuesday during a conference of the American Heart Association.

passionate letters between Gabriela Mistral and his secretary
They find that a while ago that the sexuality of the Nobel Prize for Literature Chilean Gabriela Mistral is the subject of debate. In particular, its link with the U.S. Doris Dana, who was his secretary and then his heir. According to Clarin reported yesterday, these days it was known in Chile a passionate correspondence between the two, who had been kept secret for over 50 years.
"You still do not know me well, my love. You ignore the depth of my relationship with you. Give me time, give it to you a little happy. Hold me patience, waiting to see and hear what you are to me," wrote in April 1949 the Nobel Prize for Dana, who was 30 years younger.
"I stand in the wind and rain tender for these, wind and rain, to hug and kiss for me," writes Dana by that date.
The letters were stored in 168 boxes of unpublished poems, manuscripts, photos and other documents that were donated to the Chilean State by Doris Atkinson, niece Dana, when she died in 2006. After intensive work by Pedro Pablo Zegers, curator of the National Library, 250 letters between Gabriel and Doris, written between 1948 and 1956, were published in the letters Wandering Girl, published by Random House-Mondadori and the National Library de Chile.
"You never would have done what I did to have you. But that was not done by someone else, was a violent love of soul and body," writes Mistral, who for many years was known for his poems on motherhood and childhood.
In the boxes were donated by Atkinson, in total about 10,000 letters exchanged with several personalities related to arts, culture and politics.
Zegers, the editor states that "expressly" avoided the sort of homosexual relationship of two women "to respect the privacy", but acknowledged that readers make their own interpretation. "The reader is going to say 'I do not come with stories, if that is clear,' but I leave it open to any speculation."
Gabriela and Doris met in 1946 and two years later began his epistolary relationship with the collaboration of Mistral in a book about Thomas Mann who helped edit Dana.
"Maybe I was crazy too large to enter in this passion. When I look at the first events, I know that the fault was entirely mine, "reads a letter to Dana dated April 20, 1949 in Veracruz (Mexico), Mistral also lived.
" I have for you in me many things you can not see underground, "he wrote Mistral in a notebook, in which Dana added:" I know these things underground and you know well that I have confidence, a lot of confidence. I have given you (sic) proof of my confidence. "
" The underground is what not say. But give it to you when you look and touch you without looking, "Mistral says." What do you think my look at you and my playing you are not things I can say or show? I have lived for centuries looking for you (sic), "Dana answered.
Regarding the Mistral makes frequent use of the masculine gender, Zegers said:" At first I thought it was a clerical error, but slow down and reread it I reviewed literally with a magnifying glass. He even consulted with the children's project: 'Help me to see if a oo a a'. I endorsement to a more than sexual, paternal. "To him, is" a protective effect "when the poet's signature:" Yours Mistral ".
Mistral died in New York, along with Dana. Zegers says: So it sat in your life: choosing the square diplomatic the consulate. In a letter, Gabriela says: Doris, I'm in America for you. "

castizos Although the names of the villages Coromoto, El Rincon, Rio Arriba, La Laguna , The Lying and Los Naranjos, have always served to highlight the capital's environment Canaguá today Arzobispo Chacón Municipality header. Its history is very recent data if you counterpose date organization of Aricagua Doctrine in 1597 to name the most significant.
inquire in his historic dawn should refer to his early settlers, including The Mucuchachí Paramito and were allied with the great nation that was per core Mukaria Valley, Aricagua today. Therefore, the missionary zeal corresponded to the Augustinians and highlights the first explorations undertaken by Don Juan Maldonado, in early 1559.
An apparent serenity of the period was characteristic happens this time, while its zero value in the discovery of mines, aroused little interest in the records of chroniclers and historians. The truth is that during the colony's neighbors had come Canaguá relatively Mucuchachí regularly to receive the sacraments of rigor, According to the records found. Documents
after independence, Canaguá realize that, as a suffragan of Mucuchachí village, received a first wave of immigrants from other parts that would French support for its material progress. A sample can be said that for 1845 there are reports of the existence of a modest chapel where the occasional celebrant officiating the Eucharistic ritual.
In similar date, specify the source, the neighbors claim that the bishop of Mérida that the chapel will be blessed, be authorized to build the cemetery and refurbishment of the house overnight to the priest who visited them. A little later came the answer, but the villagers were able to match patient and courageous Franciscan corporate effort.
Undaunted, the canaguenses arrangements were beginning to demand. Along with these requirements, its inhabitants spurred by new settlers petitioned the government of Mérida, an endowment commensurate with the level of development that was beginning to be seen. On June 27, 1872, Dr. Lope Maria Tejera, in power as Governor of the State, the designation awarded Canaguá civil parish.
Decree with force of law, had endorsed the Secretary of the Interior, José Pedro Godoy and thereafter, approached the splendid title Civil Parish of Liberty. In so far accredited 137 years met today with the appointment of the first authorities who would take oath at the inauguration, scheduled for August 1, according to government mandate Merida.
the formalities of law, Jose Antonio Belandria as Civil Chief was sworn before the President Provisional Lope María Tejera and, in turn, in Canaguá, special powers granted to the other members of the newly formed Freedom Civil Parish , namely, Exequiel Molina condition Parish Judge, Edward Newman, Acting Secretary designated successor as citizens and Patrick Sunday Belandria Jesus Vega.
establishment installing the new parish took particular note in a moving speech of Chief Civil José Antonio Belandria, made suitable time to settle in the new jurisdiction policy came to join the hamlets and villages Guaimaral, Capurí, El Molino and Chacanto, retaining as Canaguá capital, to safeguard the memory of its first inhabitants place names.
A popular train after the ceremony fulfilled that day August 1, 1872 and in the notes of the chronicle we find that general motion was that the canaguenses seize the moment to demand that the authorities released the Parish Freedom engage soon in the southern elevation of the village in a parish church. Don José Antonio Belandria, responded affirmatively to neighborhood gathered near the square.
He immediately started a collection to build the temple and held in advance canaguenses community achievement. The prayers of midwives have joined together and on July 20, 1875, the Government Ecclesiastical Diocese Merida created the parish church, as was the general outcry in the southern region.
Exequiel Moreno's father opened the doors of the simple chapel built in 1842 as the first cure Canaguá owner. Forward did not miss the popular enthusiasm for the group second canaguense initiatives, including which the temple stood. A sort of linked key for promoting development were the pastor and the Chief Civil, together laid the foundation for the organization and dynamism, hereinafter Canaguá would distinguish, then Parish Civil Liberty.
The push has been steady and review it now that the root of the hard work necessary in this Southern soil is printed on this date: June 27, 1872, and will dare point will not wrinkle in the fight for a long Canaguá "facing up" as claimed on one occasion, Don Mariano Picon Salas. Congratulations, countrymen of the south!

tourist potential of the Coromoto (Canaguá)
Sector Coromoto
Recently a team of Tropical Andes Program Foundation addressed the Coromoto, located in the western sector of Canaguá. Our visit was motivated by several people of the Peoples of the South, who commented several times on the attractiveness of the place and the tourism potential it has.
A community Coromoto accessed by two routes, the main one is about 700 meters after the exit of Canaguá via El Molino. The other is via Guaimaral by a sector known as El Valle de la Cruz.
The main route starts with the crossing of the creek the corner through a bridge. The first kilometer of road is cemented, is the steepest part of the area, then the road is ground to its end.
The tour covers about 3.5 km and the landscape is dominated by extensive sun coffee plantations. The few houses in the community are lost in the coffee plantations and broken Coromoto with us all the way always to the left. Near the end of the road near a tributary of the Coromoto, we find the Trout the Quebradita, named after the small creek that runs alongside it and gives life to the trout grown. Excellent location
The place has an excellent location, the trout farming serve as the boundary between the productive landscape of the area and large tracts of untouched cloud forest and high biodiversity value.
The Quebradita
The trout farming in the Coromoto (Canaguá)
The trout farming was designed and built by Mr. Neptalí Mora and his wife, providing food when the trout are plentiful and aim to transform the place to welcome tourists. Mr. Naphtali, as a good Southerner, is a man very much related to the nature that surrounds it. He, along with neighboring Coromoto has participated in reforestation projects and their work is visible. His house is a compendium of all possible building materials, wood is mixed with adobe blocks, cement and adobe, a matter which makes it even more attractive.
Mr. Neptalí showed interest in participating in the project. He has tried several times to create a tourism network with several service providers in the area but the efforts have not borne fruit. In their view, the weakness has been lack of commitment, technical advice, training and funding to finalize the plans.
Neptalí hope that Mr. Mora was a team that is taking shape to create a network of community tourism in the Peoples of the South, which has all the qualities needed to strengthen the group and ensure the success of the project.

If I could close all the zoos in the world. If I could, would prohibit the use of animals in circuses. I will not be the only one who thinks so, but I venture to receive the protest, indignation, anger of the majority who love to see animals behind fences or in spaces where they can barely move as nature calls. So much has to do with zoos. More depressing that these parks, circuses are getting ridiculous feat of making the pathetic dogs dressed in skirts, seals clapping wings, plumed horses, cycling macaques, lions leaping arches, mules trained for pursue extras dressed in black, elephants balancing on mobile metal spheres. That is fun, children love to say parents, who, to complete education of their offspring, should also take training sessions (or torture?) Support to the agony for the poor animals, helpless victims of human cruelty. Parents also say that visits to the zoo are highly instructive. Maybe I have been in the past, and even then I doubt it, but today, thanks to the countless documentaries about animal life that broadcasters spend all the time, if education is what is intended, then awaits.
