the 2nd International World Equilibrium Conference - A Success!

Jan 28 2007 was the 155th birthday of Cuba’s national hero, Jose Marti.
This was celebrated in Havana, Cuba with the 2nd International

Cultural Organization (UNESCO). 

The Fire This Time Newspaper (FTT) Editorial Board was honoured to be

prestigious conference.  In a packed room of over 60 people at the
