Arrestan a cientos de indocumentados en varios estados de EUA

Medios de información estadunidenses reportaron, sin embargo, que cientos de los inmigrantes arrestados esta semana no tienen antecedentes criminales, pese a lo cual fueron colocados en procesos de deportación. El Sol de Ohio Reporte Especial Autoridades federales de migración de Estados Unidos arrestaron esta semana a cientos de inmigrantes indocumentados en al menos nueve estados del país, lo que indica que las políticas del presidente Donald Trump comienzan a ser aplicadas a gran escala. Los arrestos, decenas de ellos realizados durante operativos o redadas que hacían blanco de personas indocumentadas, ocurren luego que Trump firmó el pasado 26 de enero una orden ejecutiva que hacía una prioridad la detención y deportación de inmigrantes con historial criminal. Medios de información estadunidenses reportaron, sin embargo, que cientos de los inmigrantes arrestados esta semana no tienen antecedentes criminales, pese a lo cual fueron colocados en procesos de deportación. Tras ganar las elecciones,

Trump prometió expulsar hasta a tres millones de inmigrantes indocumentados que tuvieran antecedentes penales graves, pese a que cálculos del propio gobierno estiman que este grupo es de alrededor de 690 mil personas. La definición de “antecedentes criminales” podría expandirse de acuerdo con la interpretación de las autoridades, lo que ahora también incluirá faltas administrativas menores. Agentes federales de migración confirmaron al diario The Washington Post que habían realizado redadas y operativos en las ciudades de Atlanta, Chicago, Nueva York y la zona metropolitana de Los Ángeles, así como en los estados de Carolina del Norte y Carolina del Sur. Otros medios, como Radio Pública Nacional (NPR) agregaron que hubo también operativos contra indocumentados en los estados de Texas, Virginia y Kansas. El operativo más numeroso

habría sido el realizado en el sur de California donde funcionarios de la Oficina de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE) informaron del arresto de 161 personas, de las que 151 contaban con condenas penales anteriores. Abogados defensores de los inmigrantes han cuestionado las afirmaciones de los funcionarios de que las operaciones de arresto son acciones de rutina. “Lo que están tratando de hacer es un esfuerzo realmente concertado para infundir miedo y aterrorizar a nuestras comunidades”, dijo David Abud, miembro del organismo National Day Labour Organization Network, en una entrevista con NPR. Abud añadió que las redadas en ciudades de California y Nueva York “son una forma en que Trump e ICE están tomando represalias contra las jurisdicciones llamadas ‘santuario’”, conocidas por su negativa a cooperar con las autoridades federales en procesos de deportación de inmigrantes

México ofrece a indocumentados red de 50 consulados en EUA El gobierno de México ofreció hoy la red de 50 consulados en Estados Unidos para brindar asesoría legal y migratoria a los mexicanos indocumentados, los más vulnerables por las medidas antiinmigrantes del presidente Donald Trump. “Tenemos que estar muy alertas, porque hay una nueva realidad para la cual debemos estar lo más preparados posible”, dijo el subsecretario mexicano

para América del Norte, Carlos Sada, a medio centenar de mexicanos indocumentados reunidos en Phoenix. El objetivo del gobierno es brindar servicios consulares a los alrededor de seis millones de indocumentados que viven en Estados Unidos para que no estén tan vulnerables, aunque, advirtió: “no podemos protegerlos de una deportación, no podemos ir en contra de las

leyes”. Sada pidió a la comunidad mexicana acercase a los consulados para exponer sus casos a los abogados migratorios y penales y trabajar en acciones para parar las deportaciones por la vía legal.

Editorial Fear will cause more deportations

El miedo aumentará las deportaciones La

mayoría de los inmigrantes hispanos indocumentados en los Estados Unidos está reducida al silencio, al nerviosismo y la incertidumbre, por el miedo que siente frente a las amenazas de deportación hechas por el gobierno de Donald Trump. El miedo suele ser una respuesta de impotencia, de debilidad, frente a lo adverso. Frente a un gobierno que se muestra intolerante y abusivo contra la poderosa e influyente comunidad hispana, la peor actitud de los hispanos es el miedo.

M ost Somos una comunidad fuerte y fundamental para esta nación. No debemos sentirnos débiles. No hay razón para sentirnos débiles e indefensos. Con el miedo solo le mostraremos al gobierno que somos débiles y frágiles. El miedo no nos sirve para nada. No detendrá las deportaciones. Solo si enfrentamos unidos y con valentía las amenazas y abusos del gobierno de Trump, los hispanos podremos derrotar sus acciones cobardes y racistas, y podremos demostrar la grandeza de nuestra de raza.

Immigrants as Trump’s all-purpose scapegoats By The Boston Globe

depressed areas.

for benefits?

The Trump administration is not done targeting immigrants for deportation — even those who are in the country lawfully.

The president seems to have taken at face value the narrative coursing through right wing talk radio and blogs, that the foreign-born have nothing to contribute to the future of the country and are just here to steal welfare benefits.

But that’s not all Trump is considering: Another leaked draft would severely limit work visas and micromanage foreign workers employed on US soil. (One example: It calls for site visits at companies that employ foreign workers.) It also instructs federal agencies to compile a report on “the steps they are taking to combat the birth tourism phenomenon,” referring to the tide of foreign citizens Trump seems to believe have inundated America to give birth so their children will have US citizenship.

According to The Washington Post (and others, including The Wall Street Journal), the Trump administration is studying whether to deport legal immigrants already living in the country if they’ve received some welfare benefits. The reports are based on drafts of executive orders circulating among Trump administration officials.

Such a policy, if enacted, appears to reflect a fundamental tenet of ndientes deTrump’s political doctrine: Immigrants are the ultimate political props, y reflect theuseful as scapegoats for an assortment of woes, including terrorism and chronic unemployment in

Facts tell a different story. Research shows that immigrants are less likely to use public assistance than are native-born citizens. And federal law already bars even many legal immigrants from tapping government benefits. Unauthorized immigrants and workers, or students on temporary visas, are generally not eligible to receive them at all, and green card holders are eligible only after five years. Besides, green card holders are generally working and paying taxes, so why shouldn’t they be eligible

EL SOL DE OHIO

undocumented Hispanic immigrants in the United States have settled for silence, nervousness, and uncertainty because of the fear it has in the face of the threats of deportation made by the Trump administration. Fear is usually a response of impotence and weakness in the face of adversity. Facing a government that is intolerant and abusive against the powerful and influential Hispanic community, the worst attitude a Hispanic can have is fear.

There are millions of socalled mixed-status families in the United States, with children who were born here to noncitizen parents. Using government benefits isn’t a crime and, in some cases, like food stamps, the government actually government actually encourages poor families who are eligible to use them. Trump’s order would punish on-the-books immigrants who have followed the rules, and in

We are a strong community, fundamental for this nation. We should not feel weak. There is no reason for feeling weak or defenseless. With fear, we will show the government that we are weak and fragile. Fear is useless. It will not stop the deportations. We Hispanics will defeat the cowardly and racist actions of the Trump administration if we confront its threats and abuses united and bravely. That is how we will demonstrate the greatness of our race.

some cases even followed the government’s advice, an especially unfair policy for a president who claims to value legal immigration. If there’s a silver lining to Trump’s threats, it’s that they are already forcing a full-scale discussion about the true benefits of an immigrant-friendly nation. Trump-like thinking on immigration is not new, and, throughout the

country’s history, waves of xenophobia have eventually succumbed to policies that embrace immigrants. Trump’s draft order is an assault on all immigrants, whether they use government benefits or not. But it is also an opportunity for another generation to relearn America’s founding lesson: Immigrants make America great.

If enacted, the order that mandates deporting legal immigrants who have received welfare benefits will probably rip families apart.

Building a Wall of Ignorance

“If we treat the rules with contempt, so will everyone else. The whole trading system would start to unravel, with hugely disruptive effects everywhere, very much including U.S. manufacturing”. To be fair, this is a widely misunderstood point. Many people who should know better believe that valueadded taxes, which many countries impose, discourage By Paul Krugman The New York Times We’re just over a week into the Trump-Putin regime, and it’s already getting hard to keep track of the disasters. Remember the president’s temper tantrum over his embarrassingly small inauguration crowd? It already seems like ancient history. But I want to hold on, just for a minute, to the story that dominated the news on Thursday, before it was, er, trumped by the uproar over the refugee ban. As you may recall — or maybe you don’t, with the crazy coming so thick and fast — the White House first seemed to say that it would impose a 20 percent tariff on Mexico, but may have been talking about a tax plan, proposed by Republicans in the House, that would do no such thing; then said that it was just an idea; then dropped the subject, at least for now. For sheer viciousness, loose talk about tariffs isn’t going to match slamming the door on refugees, on

Holocaust Remembrance Day, no less. But the tariff tale nonetheless epitomizes the pattern we’re already seeing in this shambolic administration — a pattern of dysfunction, ignorance, incompetence, and betrayal of trust. The story seems, like so much that’s happened lately, to have started with President Trump’s insecure ego: People were making fun of him because Mexico will not, as he promised during the campaign, pay for that useless wall along the border. So his spokesman, Sean Spicer, went out and declared that a border tax on Mexican products would, in fact, pay for the wall. So there! As economists quickly pointed out, however,

tariffs aren’t paid by the exporter. With some minor qualifications, basically they’re paid for by the buyers — that is, a tariff on Mexican goods would be a tax on U.S. consumers. America, not Mexico, would therefore end up paying for the wall.

“All of this should be placed in the larger context of America’s quickly collapsing credibility”

Oops. But that wasn’t the only problem. America is part of a system of agreements Oops. But that wasn’t the only problem. America is part of a system of agreements — a system

we built — that sets rules for trade policy, and one of the key rules is that you can’t just unilaterally hike tariffs that were reduced in previous negotiations. If America were to casually break that rule, the consequences would be severe. The risk wouldn’t so much be one of retaliation — although that, too — as of emulation: If we treat the rules with contempt, so will everyone else. The whole trading system would start to unravel, with hugely disruptive effects everywhere, very much including U.S. manufacturing.

impression; but he also said that he was talking about “comprehensive tax reform as a means to tax imports from countries that we have a trade deficit from.” That seemed to be a reference to a proposed overhaul of corporate taxes, which would include “adjustable border taxes.”

But here’s the thing: that overhaul wouldn’t at all have the effects he was suggesting. It wouldn’t target countries with which we run deficits, let alone Mexico; it would apply to all trade. And So is the White House actually planning to go down it wouldn’t really be a that route? By focusing tax on imports. on imports from Mexico, Mr. Spicer conveyed that

imports and subsidize exports. Mr. Spicer echoed that misperception. In fact, however, value-added taxes are basically national sales taxes, which neither discourage nor encourage imports. (Yes, imports pay the tax, but so do domestic products.) And the proposed change in corporate taxes, while differing from valueadded taxation in some ways, would similarly be neutral in its effects on trade. What this means, in particular, is that it would do nothing whatsoever to make Mexico pay for the wall. Some of this is a bit technical — see my blog for more details. But isn’t the U.S. government supposed to get stuff right before floating what sounds like a declaration of trade war? So let’s sum it up: The White House press secretary created a diplomatic crisis while trying to protect the president from ridicule over his foolish boasting. In the process he demonstrated that nobody in authority understands basic economics. Then he tried to walk the whole thing back. All of this should be placed in the larger context of America’s quickly collapsing credibility. Our government hasn’t always done the right thing. But it has kept its promises, to nations and individuals alike. Now all of that is in question. Everyone, from small nations who thought they were protected against Russian aggression, to Mexican entrepreneurs who thought they had guaranteed access to our markets, to Iraqi interpreters who thought their service with the U.S. meant an assurance of sanctuary, now has to wonder whether they’ll be treated like stiffed contractors at a Trump hotel. That’s a very big loss. And it’s probably irreversible.

Why suicide is on the rise among Mexican youth

Ciudad Juarez, the border city in northern Mexico which between 2008 and 2011 had the dubious reputation of being the murder capital of the world, has seen its homicide rate fall since 2012. But as Irene Caselli reports, the city’s high levels of violence have had longterm psychological effects on its residents, especially its youth. Luis Mercado was 16 when he had his first panic attack. It was during a school break. He just felt the urge to run away and hide. It was at this point that he went to the school bathroom and started cutting himself. Self-harming became a habit he felt he could control... until he had another panic attack. “It was like a balloon. You can fill it with water but it has a limit. When it fills up too much, it bursts,” he says of his feelings at the time. “Once it has exploded into pieces, it is not a balloon anymore,” Luis says speaking slowly, sitting on a sofa in his home. “I feel that this is what happened to me. So many years went by with me filling up the balloon that it eventually burst.”

Violence at home

Luis’ family was not directly affected by the drug-related violence, which accounted for many of the 10,000 murders committed in Ciudad Juarez between 2008 and 2011. And yet from his earliest years he has been a witness to violence. Luis’ father was killed when Luis was just one year old. It was Luis’ mother who murdered him. She was convicted and jailed. After her release, she died in what the coroner said were suspicious

circumstances. Luis was 11 at the time. One night five years on, Luis tried to kill himself. But in the end he did not go through with it. He says he does not know what stopped him. “Sometimes I ask myself why I did not keep going if I felt so scared. I wonder why I did not do it,” he recalls.

‘Life has little value’

Luis is part of a growing number of people in Ciudad Juarez who attempt to take their own lives. One out of four residents has thought about taking his or her own life, and one out of ten has tried to do so, a study carried out by the Family Centre for Integration and Growth (CFIC) with the support of the Autonomous University of Ciudad Juarez (UACJ) suggests. Young people between the age of 15 and 29 make up the biggest number of those who die by suicide, figures from Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography suggest. Experts say that while each case is different, the violence prevalent in Ciudad Juarez is a significant contributing factor. Prof Oscar Armando Esparza Del Villar is in charge of a psychology doctoral programme analysing problems related to violence. “There is a sense that life does not have the same value as before,” he says. “When you live within this culture where life is not valued as before, suicide can seem like one of the options for those who have symptoms of depression or problems in their lives,” he explains.

‘Dying inside’

Luis says in his case it was a gradual process. “It’s like when you turn off the lights in a house. You start from the upstairs, then the downstairs, then the outside lights,” he recalls. “Internally I felt as if something was shutting down inside me. Like when they say that you are dying inside.” He says he also showed noticeable external symptoms such as “the way I dressed, the cuts on my arms, my sad expression”. His teachers detected the symptoms and alerted Luis’s great-uncle and guardian, Ruben. Ruben took Luis to CFIC, one of the leading centres providing support to people with suicidal thoughts and their families. The centre was able to help Luis, who now works as a waiter and who hopes to go

back to studying. Its director, Silvia Aguirre, says it is as if violence has permeated the entire city. “Violence has two ways of manifesting itself. The highest degree of external violence is homicide, the highest degree of internal violence is suicide,” she says.

Hidden pain

And she argues that Mexicans have not yet learned how to process the pain that comes with both. She says that Mexican culture and its celebration of death during the traditional Day of the Dead in November sometimes give outsiders the wrong idea. “We show the world that death to us is a matter of Catrinas [the name given to the figure of the female skeleton often seen at Day of the Dead celebrations],

meeting with the family and eating food to celebrate our dead.” “That is part of our culture. But there is another hidden part, where we swallow our pain. “Mexico is asleep. It prefers sleeping than facing pain,” she adds. The CFIC has tried to make people more aware of the warning signs. It was the driving force behind a public campaign to prevent suicides and a new telephone hotline which was started last year. The centre also runs workshops for bereaved families which have not yet mourned properly. Miguel Angel Esparza and his wife Patricia attended such a workshop. Their son, Eduardo, was 21 when he killed himself. He left no note and they say they have no idea why he

did it. Eduardo was a month away from completing his nursing degree. During the graduation ceremony, his classmates put an image of Eduardo on a chair for the official photo. His parents well up when they proudly show his degree. “At the workshop they taught us that he was going to be with us forever. They teach us how to see him in a flower, in a garden, in a butterfly, in anything that inspires us,” Patricia says. “It has helped me a lot. I remember him with pain, but nicely.” Credit: BBC News.

3 MLB contenders that already

have gotten terrible injury news Pitchers and catchers report … and pitchers head directly to the trainers’ room. It’s a scenario that no baseball fans wants to envision, but it’s already the cruel reality for three would-be contenders this spring. The severity of the injuries vary, but the impacts all will be felt. And unfortunately, this list will continue to grow.. Fox Sport. Cardinals Flame-throwing right-hander Alex Reyes was the favorite to win the fifth spot in the rotation this spring; instead, he’ll have Tommy John surgeryand miss the entire 2017 season. A consensus top 10 major-league prospect, Reyes, 22, was electric during his late-season call-up in 2016 – striking out 52 batters in 46 innings and posting a 1.57 ERA over 12 games (five starts). It is a devastating injury for St. Louis, which will welcome back Lance Lynn from Tommy John surgery but also has medical concerns about rotation candidate Michael Wacha.

Orioles Chris Tillman won’t get his fourth consecutive Opening Day assignment and could start the season on the disabled list because of the ongoing shoulder discomfort that sidelined him for three weeks during last summer’s stretch run. Baltimore’s rotation is a major concern even when its ace is healthy, and an extended absence by Tillman could be the difference between a spot in the postseason and a spot on the couch to watch the action.

Royals It’s not the most conventional camp injury – in fact, it’s arguably the oddest in years – but reliever Brian Flynn will be sidelined about two months after falling through the roof of his barn. That spill resulted in a broken rib and three non-displaced fractures in his vertebrae. After posting a 2.60 ERA and 1.10 WHIP in 36 appearances last season, Flynn had the opportunity to win a key role this spring in Kansas City’s Wade Davis-less bullpen.

El machismo persiste en el futbol mexicano, incluso en el femenil

¿Qué fue eso que te ‘pidieron’?

Melissa Núñez tiene 30 años, la ilusión a tope, y un lugar histórico en el balompié nacional, todo por convertirse en la primera entrenadora confirmada para el arranque de la Liga MX Femenil, donde asumirá las riendas del Veracruz.

ser la primera mujer en la primera división o en la Liga de Ascenso para poder estar en un banquillo’ y es muy difícil; la gente me decía que no, que era imposible prácticamente”.

Aunque recién se cumplió el primero de sus grandes sueños, la originaria de Puebla y egresada de la Escuela Nacional de Directores Técnicos ha pasado por momentos complicados en su carrera, como el machismo y acoso del que fue víctima en busca de un lugar en el futbol mexicano, en el que espera trascender gracias a su talento y convicción.

“Yo empecé a tocar puertas a partir de octubre 2015, puedo hablar de equipos de Liga de Ascenso, equipos de Primera División, que la verdad en algunos sí te dicen que es un ambiente sexista, elitista hasta cierto punto por las diferentes posiciones que tienen muchos jugadores”. ¿Qué dejas en el camino para cumplir tus sueños?

¿En donde te ocurrió este incidente negativo?

¿El machismo está presente en el futbol mexicano?

“Estoy dejando todo aquí en Puebla, me ha tocado tener que hacer a un lado a algunas personas en relaciones sentimentales, mi sacrificio es todo por mi hijo, es lo que más me duele y es lo más fuerte para mí”.

“Era más que nada como... Ya sabes... Los intermediarios en un equipo de primera división”.

¿Cuál fue tu peor experiencia en el mundo del futbol?

“Surge la posibilidad del apoyo del licenciado Fidel Kuri, él no me cierra la puerta a nivel varonil en ningún momento, me dice ‘Con todo gusto, vamos a ver qué se puede lograr’ y de repente me avienta el equipo femenil, estoy muy agrecida con él porque está creyendo en mí”.

“En México sí está muy marcado todavía, soy la primera en la Liga MX, esperemos que en próximos días puedan comentar que viene otra más en algún otro equipo de la Liga, pero al final del día soy la primera, obviamente es un reto y una carga mucho más fuerte”. ¿Cómo arranca tu camino hacia el futbol profesional? “Yo vengo dirigiendo varonil, de hecho busco una oportunidad a través de diferentes puertas en este ramo, obviamente yo llego y digo: ‘Oigan, me gustaría

¿Cuánto tiempo luchaste por alcanzar esta meta?

“Que una persona me comentara... ‘Tienes algo que yo quiero y yo tengo lo que tú quieres’; De repente también entras en eso del por qué, ¿Por qué quieren pedirte algo para poder llegar o darte una oportunidad y llegar a algún club? Esa fue la peor experiencia que he tenido.

“Ya te imaginarás, lo sabemos, ¿No? Lo que buscan los hombres normalmente, es así de ‘Mira, ven. Yo quiero esto, que estés conmigo y obviamente te abro la oportunidad’. “’Yo así de ‘Muchas gracias, pero mejor busco por otro lado’. Es muy complicado, porque dices, ‘No puede ser que se agarren de que tú necesitas la oportunidad para ver qué sacan’. Sí he tenido muy malas experiencias y más porque hay mucho hombre ahí”.

¿Te has propuesto dirigir en el máximo circuito varonil?

¿Ves posible tu llegada a la Liga MX? “Lo mejor podría ser estar

al lado de una persona como el ‘Profe’ Reinoso, quien tiene una amplia trayectoria y todo el conocimiento que tendría al aprender de una persona como él”. ¿A qué entrenador admiras y por qué? “Admiro mucho el trabajo del ‘Piojo’ Herrera, porque además del futbol él marca mucho la psicología, a nivel mental los equipos tienen que estar en un 100%, a nivel mundial lo vemos en todos lados, es un 90% mentalidad y la técnica se va mejorando día a día, la táctica se aprende y demás” ¿Qué tanta es la distancia económica entre el futbol varonil y femenil? “No sabemos nada, esta semana es el primer encuentro que voy a tener con el licenciado Fidel, aproximadamente el viernes que llega Tigres allá a Veracruz esperemos tener el encuentro y poder sentarnos y hablar de todo lo económico”. ¿Qué esperas de esa reunión? “Ya tengo la oportunidad, espero simplemente que se valore el trabajo, hemos luchado, al final del día me costó mi carrera, mi conocimiento, me costó lo que hago el día a día, estar estudia y estudia, es lo único que pido,que se valore el trabajo”.

Niega Mayweather acuerdos para volver al ring El expeleador estadounidense Floyd Mayweather Jr. decidió salir al paso de los rumores y aseguró que por ahora no sólo no tiene ningún acuerdo para pelear con Conor McGregor o algún otro peleador, pues está disfrutando de su retiro y no tiene pensado, por ahora, regresar. Un sinfín de especulaciones partieron de un reporte inicial de The Irish Sun, asegurando de acuerdo a una fuente que estaban cerca de cerrar un acuerdo para la pelea de boxeo entre el artemarcialista y el boxeador. Incluso se aseguró que estaba Conor en Las Vegas terminando los detalles, pero parece que nada fue así. “A pesar de que ha habido muchos rumores circulando en los medios acerca de que tengo una

próxima pelea, me gustaría aclarar y establecer que no ha habido acuerdo alguno de mi parte con miras a una posible pelea con algún combatiente por ahora”, destacó Mayweather respecto a la información. “Estoy felizmente retirado y disfrutando la vida. Tengan la seguridad de que si surgen algunos cambios, seré el primero en informarles”, añadió Mayweather en un video distribuido a través de sus redes sociales, poniendo fin así a los rumores sobre una posible pelea de boxeo. Stephen A. Smith, de ESPN, dijo que Mayweather le había dicho que un acuerdo para el combate ante McGregor “está cerca, muy cerca” .

En Vaticano hay corrupción, pero no pierdo la paz: Papa Francisco El Sol de Ohio Special Report El Papa Francisco reconoció que en el Vaticano existe corrupción, dero dijo que él está en paz desde que fue elegido para guiar a la Iglesia católica, una paz que le permite dormir tranquilo pese a los desafíos de su misión. El líder católico hizo estas consideraciones en un largo coloquio con líderes de congregaciones religiosas del mundo, cuyo contenido fue publicado este jueves por primera vez por la revista de los jesuitas en Roma, “La Civiltà Cattolica”, pero que tuvo lugar el 25 de noviembre de 2016 en el Vaticano. En la conversación, entre otras cosas el pontífice abordó el problema de los abusos sexuales contra menores de parte de clérigos y, se manifestó contra las supuestas apariciones de la Virgen que incluyen mensajes poco creíbles, además de contar algunas anécdotas personales.

Recordó que en las discusiones de los cardenales antes del Cónclave de 2013 donde fue elegido se hablaba de los problemas del Vaticano, se hablaba de reformas y todos las querían.

aclaró. “¿Cuál es la fuente de mi serenidad? ¡No, no tomo pastillas tranquilizantes! Los italianos dan un buen consejo: para vivir en paz se necesita un sana dosis de desinterés.

“Existe corrupción en el Vaticano, pero yo estoy en paz. Si existe un problema yo escribo una nota a San José y lo pongo bajo la estatuita que tengo en mi habitación. Es San José quien duerne en un colchón de notas. Por eso duermo bien: es una gracia de Dios”,

No tengo problemas en el decir que ésta que estoy viviendo es una experiencia completamente nueva para mi”, insistió. Reconoció que cuando estaba en Buenos Aires era más ansioso, se sentía más nervioso y preocupado, no vivia como ahora ya que desde

su llegada al papado ha vivido una experiencia muy particular de paz profunda y esa no lo abandona. “Vivo con paz, no se explicarlo. Duermo siempre seis horas. Y rezo. Rezo a mi modo. Mi paz es un regalo del señor, ¡que no me la quite!”, añadió. Cuestionado sobre cómo afrontar los problemas de abusos sexuales contra menores de parte de religiosos, sostuvo que de cada cuatro personas que abusan, dos han sido abusadas con anterioridad

y eso -dijo- es “sembrar el abuso” lo cual “es devastador”. Explicó que si los involucrados son sacerdotes o religiosos se está, además, ante una acción “acción del diablo” que “arruina la obra de Jesús a través de áquel que debía anunciar a Jesús”. Pidió hablar claro y saber que estos actos son producto de “una enfermedad” porque si no existe este convencimiento entonces no se podrá resolver el problema. Por eso pidió estar atentos a

no recibir en la formación a candidatos a la vida religiosa sin asegurarse bien de su adecuada madurez afectiva. “Por ejemplo: nunca recibir en la vida religiosa o en una diócesis candidatos que fueron expulsados de otro seminario o de otro instituto religioso sin pedir informaciones muy claras y detalladas sobre las motivaciones de su alejamiento”, ilustró.

Mexican archbishop: We need to ask emigrants for forgiveness The head of an archdiocese in the western Mexican state of Michoacan has said the country needs to seek forgiveness for failing to provide for its people who seek a better life in the United States. “We have to ask the migrants for forgiveness because they couldn’t find job opportunities or adequate conditions in Mexico for their families to get ahead,” Archbishop

Carlos Garfias Merlos of Morelia told the weekly Desde la Fe. Mexico has been unable to “create an environment where justice reigns, where there are well-paid jobs and opportunities for the future,” he commented. “So we ask forgiveness from those we have driven from our places by not eradicating poverty, and who are now facing the

threat of exclusion and discrimination.” To all of them, Archbishop Garfias continued: “a word of gratitude for everything you are doing for your families and your communities. Also a word of encouragement in face of the difficulties you are up against. Know that you are not alone.” Archbishop

Arqueólogos descubrieron una nueva caverna a orillas del Mar Muerto, que sería la número 12 de las llamadas cuevas de Qumran halladas hasta ahora y donde han sido encontrados antiguos pergaminos que datan del periodo del Segundo Templo Los arqueólogos de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén que exploran el interior de la nueva cueva, afirmaron que aún no han encontrado ningún manuscrito aunque sí hallaron evidencias de que alguna vez los albergó pero habrían sido saqueados por beduinos a mediados del siglo XX. Los Rollos de Qumran, llamados así porque han sido encontrados en cuevas descubiertas en el acantilado desierto al oeste de Qumran, cerca de la costa noroeste del Mar Muerto, son pergaminos escritos en hebreo, arameo y griego que datan de los siglos IV antes de Cristo y

del I y II después de Cristo. El equipo de arqueólogos, dirigido por el doctor Oren Gutfeld y Ahiad Ovadia de la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén, con Randall Price y estudiantes de la Universidad Libertad en Virginia, dieron cuenta del hallazgo de la cueva 12, la primera que se identifica en más de 60 años. Informaron que la evidencia de que esta cueva alguna vez tuvo pergaminos es indirecta, ya que encontraron varios frascos de cerámica con tapa -típicos del periodo del Segundo Templo (530 antes de Cristo)- escondidos en nichos a lo largo de las paredes de la caverna. Sin embargo, todos los frascos estaban rotos y vacíos, al parecer su contenido fue removido por beduinos, dijeron y explicaron que así lo dedujeron debido a que en el interior también encontraron dos cabezas piqueta de hierro de

los años 50, refiriendo que habían encontrado condiciones similares en la cueva 8. Un frasco en la cueva 12 contenía un pergamino enrollado pero estaba en blanco, “lo cual indica sin lugar a dudas que la cueva contenía rollos y fueron robados”, sostuvo Gutfeld, citado en reportes del periódico israelí Haaretz. Además de los frascos de cerámica, los arqueólogos encontraron una correa de cuero con las que se ataban los rollos en la antigüedad, un paño utilizado para envolverlos, pedazos de piel, fragmentos de otros materiales y un sello de estampilla elaborado de coralina, una piedra semipreciosa.

El Museo Nacional de Estonia, está exhibiendo una muestra para conmemorar la Reforma Protestante en su quinto centenario. Sin embargo, se ha producido una gran polémica en el país debido a que en el museo en una de las piezas se ofende gravemente a la Virgen María. Incluso las autoridades eclesiásticas luteranas han salido rápidamente a criticar esta supuesta atracción ‘cultural’. En la exposición destaca un stand en el que aparece una imagen virtual de la Virgen María, concretamente de Nuestra Señora de Gracia. Todo visitante que pase por delante puede dar una patada en una zona marcada para ello y en ese instante la imagen de María se rompe en pedazos y en su lugar aparece la palabra “Reforma”. El Museo Nacional de Estonia defiende esta ofensa asegurando que se trata de una “representación artística de iconoclasia”. Pero lo cierto es que

esta supuesta atracción del museo ni siquiera ha gustado a los propios luteranos. De hecho, el obispo Urmas Viilma, de la iglesia evangélica luterana de Estonia, ha arremetido contra la exposición asegurando que se burla de la religión e insulta los sentimientos de los creyentes. A través de su Facebook obispo luterano de 44 años asegura que “la Virgen María no es para un gran número de creyentes una figura histórica que ha caído en el olvido sino una realidad hoy en día. Esto es una burla y un insulto a los sentimientos de los creyentes”. Pero Urmas Viilma, no sólo se quedó en una mera crítica oficial al Museo Nacional sino que fue mucho más allá e hizo una acérrima defensa de la madre de Jesús. “La Reforma protestante fue en gran parte un movimiento político y económico, además de un cisma religioso. La

Virgen no fue parte de ese mal. Su papel en el mundo sirvió para facilitar nuestra salvación. Ella no se merece, por su santo nombre, ser profanada”, afirmó este obispo. Aún así su defensa de la Virgen fue a más y agregó que María “no es meramente una figura o una idea sino una verdadera santa que habita con Dios. Ella está siempre presente en la Tierra junto a los fieles e intercede por nosotros”. El arzobispo Viilma insistió en que “como Madre de Dios merece el máximo respeto y a no ser tratada irrespetuosamente”. La mayoría de los protestantes no admiten la intercesión de los santos desde el Cielo (incluyendo a María), pero el luteranismo en los países bálticos y escandinavos se mantuvo muy cercano a muchas doctrina populares y litúrgicas católicas y algunos jerarcas las mantienen, como se ve en este caso.

Blind Woman Says She Now Can See after Visiting Church A 31-year-old mother of four says she miraculously received her vision back after visiting a church.

Dafne Gutierrez was told by doctors that she has intracranial hypertension which damages optic nerves and means she will lose her eyesight and never get it back. Gutierrez went blind about a year ago, but that changed after she visited the St. Joseph Maronite Catholic Church in Phoenix, Arizona.

While at the church Gutierrez prayed with a priest while she stood over the relics of Saint Charbel, a Lebanese monk.

“I felt different in my body,” she said. “I can’t explain what I was feeling.” Three days later, Gutierrez had regained her sight. When she went to her doctor, she was told she had 20/20 vision. “I told my doctor that I knew God had healed me,” she said. “He kept asking

me, ‘Where did you go? What did they do to you?’ He told me it was all in my head,” she added. “He told me to come back in 72 hours.” Although Gutierrez’ doctor remains skeptical, she has faith that God truly has healed her. “They say they don’t know if I’m going to wake up tomorrow with no vision,” she said. “I have faith that I’m going to keep staying like this.”

En mi angustia invoqué a Jehová, y clamé a mi Dios. El oyó mi voz desde su templo, y mi clamor llegó delante de él, a sus oídos “Salmos 18:6.”

Todos hemos pasados por situaciones donde la angustia, el tormento y sobre todo la desesperación llega a nuestras vidas, pero es necesario que cuando estés pasando por ese proceso que humanamente no puedes controlar; recuerdes que el único que puede darte la victoria está esperando con los brazos abierto para bendecirte. En ti está que Dios responda tu clamor y tu llanto. Dios quiere que tu búsqueda sea de lo más profundo de tu corazón; luego que te prepares para esperar en esa promesa que él tiene para ti. Porque sé que por vuestra oración y la suministración del Espíritu de Jesucristo, esto resultará en mi liberación “Filipenses 1:19.” No olvides, que la oración es el medio de comunicación donde tú puedes lograr que de los cielos caigan bendiciones sobre ti y los tuyos. Es tiempo de que uses el poder de la oración para lograr que de parte de Dios ocurran cosas grandes e increíbles a tu alrededor. Disfruta cada conversación con el maestro, no desperdicie la oportunidad de estar en contacto con él. Pero que pida con fe, sin dudar, porque quien duda es como las olas del mar, que es arrastrada por el viento y echada de una parte a otra “Santiago 1:6.” Como ser humano sé que la duda puede llegar a tu mente, pero lo que no puedes permitir es que esa duda te arrebate las bendiciones que vienen de Dios. Cuando estés esperando en una respuesta de parte del Maestro y la duda llegue a tu mente nunca le permita ser más fuerte que tu fe porque solo a través de la fe es que podemos lograr que Dios haga los grandes milagros en nuestras vidas y alrededor del mundo. ¡Te Bendigo!

Estas son las ciudades con más inmigrantes indocumentados en Estados Unidos

El Sol de Ohio Reporte Especial 11.1 millones de inmigrantes indocumentados vivirían en Estados Unidos en la actualidad, de acuerdo a una nueva estimación. De ellos, 6.8 millones, es decir un 61%, viven en solo 20 áreas metropolitanas, a pesar de que estas zonas concentran solo un 36% de la población total de Estados Unidos. De acuerdo a este reporte, los inmigrantes indocumentados serían un 3.5% de la población de Estados Unidos (de acuerdo a cifras de 2014) y alrededor de un 26% de los residentes nacidos en el extranjero. Como es quizás

esperable, el análisis halló que los inmigrantes indocumentados tienden a vivir entre inmigrantes con papeles. 65% de los ciudadanos naturalizados y de no ciudadanos autorizados viven en estas mismas 20 áreas metropolitanas. Las poblaciones de indocumentados más grandes del país estarían en Nueva York, con 1.2 millones, y Los Ángeles, con un millón. Las restantes ciudades las siguen muy por detrás. Houston, en el tercer puesto, tiene 575,000 indocumentados. Cinco de estas 20 áreas metropolitanas están en California (Los Ángeles, Riverside-San Bernardino,

San Francisco, San Diego y San José). El reporte fue elaborado utilizando información de la Encuesta de Comunidades Estadounidenses de la Oficina del Censo, realizada en 2014, los datos más recientes que se tienen. De todas maneras, el análisis de Pew dice que las 20 áreas metropolitanas con más indocumentados se han mantenido consistentes a través de la última década: 19 de las 20 ciudades de hace diez años eran las mismas. Esta concentración de gente podría ser altamente relevante en los próximos cuatro años, tomando en cuenta las amenazas de la administración

Trump de deportar a millones de inmigrantes indocumentados. Varias de estas ciudades en la lista están se han declarado ‘santuarios’ y de alguna manera limitan su cooperación con las autoridades federales a la hora de detener y deportar inmigrantes. En dos órdenes ejecutivas que firmó a fines de enero, el presidente Trump prometió, entre otras cosas, atacar a las ciudades santuario cortándoles los fondos federales que reciben. Una de las órdenes específicamente dijo que estos distritos “no califican para recibir fondos federales, excepto aquellos que sean necesarios

para propósitos de hacer cumplir la ley de acuerdo a lo dicho por el fiscal general o el secretario [correspondiente]”. De acuerdo a lo que CityLab ha investigado anteriormente, que Trump cumpla con estas amenazas será difícil, desde un punto de vista legal y logístico. Su orden ejecutiva, de hecho, no detalla cómo se realizará esto. Pero ciertamente es posible que, debido a la amenaza financiera, algunas de estas ciudades cedan frente a la presión. De hecho, Miami, que está número 5 en la lista, ya acató la orden del presidente. Las órdenes de Trump también llaman a la construcción inmediata

Como en pruebas anteriores, el gobierno de Japón pidió al de China ejercer presión sobre Pyongyang, valiéndose de que el 90 por ciento del comercio internacional norcoreano es hacia territorio chino. Continuaremos pidiendo a China que actúe como

del ya conocido muro fronterizo, además de reforzar los recursos humanos para proteger el límite, pidiendo que se contraten 5,000 agentes patrulleros de frontera adicional y triplicar el actual personal de la Agencia de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE, por sus siglas en inglés). Estas nuevas cifras son enormes y, posiblemente, podrían significar una inminente mayor presencia de ICE en las áreas metropolitanas donde viven los inmigrantes.

Alerta en Asia del este tras nuevo ensayo de misil norcoreano Corea del Norte elevó de nuevo las alertas en el este de Asia por otro de sus ensayos de misiles, el primero en el nuevo gobierno de Estados Unidos, y que promovió una sesión de urgencia del Consejo de Seguridad. Pyongyang calificó como exitoso el lanzamiento del misil de mediano rango Musudan modificado, efectuado a las 7:55 horas del domingo (23:25 GMT del sábado 11), desde la occidental base de Banghyon. El misil, con capacidad para transportar una cabeza nuclear, alcanzó unos 550 kilómetros de altura y voló cerca de 500

kilómetros antes de caer en el Mar del Este, reportó la Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) citada por Yonhap. El líder norcoreano Kim Jong-un estuvo presente en el lanzamiento y afirmó que la industria misilística de su país tiene un desarrollo confiable con diseños propios y no se limita a copiar. El nuevo misil permitirá al Ejército del Pueblo ampliar su capacidad de fuego lo mismo bajo el agua que en tierra, añadió. El Pukguksong-2, como se denomina al Musudan modificado, fue lanzado desde una nueva

instalación y en ángulo cercano a la vertical. Este lunes el ejército surcoreano explicó que todo apunta que a que la tecnología usada en el misil es la que se emplea para misiles lanzados desde un submarino, aprovechando la experiencia del ensayo de agosto pasado. Esta prueba es la primera bajo el presidente estadunidense Donald Trump que tomó posesión el pasado 20 de enero, y además de que busca la atención mundial, quiere sopesar su respuesta, dijo la agencia surcoreana Yonhap.

Ecuador presidential election will show if continent’s pink tide has truly turned

By Jonathan Watts The Guardian Ten years ago, as Latin America’s “pink tide” reached its high-water mark, leftwing leaders such as Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, Evo Morales and Rafael Correa were in power across the continent. But death and election defeat have since culled their numbers and trimmed their power. Cuba is on a path of moderate reform after the death of Castro. Venezuela was lurching from one crisis to another even before Chávez succumbed to cancer in 2013. Morales’s days as president of Bolivia are also numbered after he failed in an attempt last year to change the constitution to allow him to run for reelection. This Sunday, Ecuador will also make a change, with the first presidential election in more than a decade not to be contested by Correa, who is stepping aside after winning three consecutive terms. Whether the country now follows the continental trend towards centre-right government or remains a bastion for the left is being contested in an unusually dirty campaign. The favourite is Lenín Moreno, a former vicepresident under Correa who is standing for the ruling Alianza País coalition, but very different in style and politics from the outgoing president. As his first name

suggests, Moreno is from a leftwing family, but he has a reputation for inclusiveness openness and humour that earned him approval ratings above 90% when he quit the vice-presidency in 2013 to take up a United Nations post as special envoy on disability. If he wins, he would be the first paraplegic head of state, having used a wheelchair since he was shot in a robbery. Opinion polls in Ecuador are notoriously unreliable and politically skewed, but regardless of affiliation they all give Moreno a strong lead. Few, however, suggest he will secure an outright win in the first round, which would require either a majority of votes cast or more than 40% and a 10-point lead over his nearest rival. If he falls short of this target, there would be run-off on 2 April against the second-place candidate, most probably Guillermo Lasso, of the rightwing Creo-Suma alliance. Lasso, a former banker, promises to cut taxes, create jobs, be more transparent in business deals with China, and evict the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from the country’s embassy in London. Although he trails in the polls, a secondround vote might allow him to win support from the six unsuccessful candidates. Cynthia Viteri, a rightwing libertarian, still has an outside chance of pipping him to the run-off spot, but

Lasso expressed confidence of victory. “There’s no doubt that Ecuador is the next country where the bells of liberty will ring again in Latin America,” he told the Guardian. “People are tired of totalitarian regimes that have turned their governments into dictatorships.” The ruling camp say this is bluster. Although they laugh at suggestions that Ecuador is – as one regional journalist put it – the “Stalingrad of the left in Latin America”, they believe the country can resist a regional rightward tide. “This is a very important election. There have been defeats of the left in Latin America. There is no doubt about that,” the foreign minister, Guillaume Long, said. “We play by the rules of democracy so we always knew something could happen. But I don’t think it will happen here on 19 February.” Voting is obligatory for the 12.8 million people eligible to cast a ballot in this country, which covers an area bigger than the United Kingdom and ranges from Amazon jungle and Andean mountains to the Pacific coast and the Galápagos Islands. It will be monitored by a team of 60 international observers from the Organization of American States electoral observation mission. The dominant campaign issues are the economy,

corruption and the legacy of the departing president. Correa leaves power with ratings around 40% – impressively high in a country where no previous leader in a century had lasted more than five years. Most Ecuadorians are far better off than when he took power in 2007, poverty and inequality have gone down and infrastructure, schools and hospitals have been impressively upgraded. Although Ecuador has been closely allied to Venezuela, Correa avoided the worst excesses of Chávez’s so-called Bolivarian revolution. The government is more pragmatic, the military is less involved in politics, the economy is more diverse and political schisms are less violent. But 10 years in power and a downturn in global oil prices have taken their toll. Ecuador’s economy is in recession and many voters are weary of authoritarian leadership. Indigenous groups and environmentalists accuse the government of putting Chinese oil and mining interests above local people and protected areas in the Yasuni national park and among the Shuar territories near the southern border with Peru. The middle class complain of high taxes, excessive bureaucracy, clampdowns on NGOs and attacks on the media. In the final weeks of the campaign, the biggest

criticism is of corruption, particularly relating to Vice-President Jorge Glas – a Correa loyalist who is accused of organising bribes and kickbacks through the state-run oil company Petroecuador. As Glas is Moreno’s running mate, many Ecuadorians fear he will continue the shadier side of government business if the ruling party win again. Mariá Fernanda Espinosa, Ecuador’s UN representative and a close adviser to Moreno, said the focus on Glas aimed to distract voters from the government’s achievements. “The opposition attack our vice-president because Lenín is so hard to criticise. But they have provided no proof of corruption. It has been a very dirty campaign.” She believes Moreno will convince voters that change can come even through a vote for the same party as the departing president. “There is a cycle. At the start we needed a leader with a strong hand and a loud voice because we rebuilt from scratch. Now we are in harvest season, we need someone different, someone with grey hair.” Lasso says Moreno would be a “puppet” of Correa, who plans to move to Belgium after the handover of power in May and has hinted that he may return to run again at the next election, after promising he would not stand this time in order

to pass a constitutional amendment on re-election. But analysts say there is more likely to be a schism between the two. Fernando Balseca, a newspaper columnist and professor at Andina University, sees parallels with Colombia, where Juan Manuel Santos split with his former mentor Álvaro Uribe after becoming president. This could be precipitated by a fiscal crunch, which looms soon after the election. “The new government will have big problems,” says Juan Ponce, director of the Latin American Faculty of Social Science in Quito. He sees the two candidates as representatives of different potential bailouts: Moreno, who is likely to continue to rely on Chinese loans, and Lasso, who is more inclined to seek help from the IMF. With commodity prices low and congress likely to be fractured (137 seats in the country’s unicameral legislature are also up for grabs on 19 February, as well as five representatives to the Andean Congress), Quito, which is flanked by the huge Cotopaxi volcano, could soon see fresh rumblings of discontent after 10 years of unusual stability.

Pan, alimento que ayuda a retrasar el envejecimiento El Sol de Ohio Reporte Especial El pan además de ser un alimento que se puede degustar en cualquier momento, toda vez que se puede encontrar en despensas de hogares, mesas de restaurantes, eventos especiales, entre otros, aporta múltiples beneficios a la salud, como antioxidantes que ayudan a retrasar el envejecimiento. En un comunicado, la doctora Marilú Acosta comentó que de acuerdo con el Departamento de Nutrición de la Facultad de Farmacia de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid, el pan es un alimento cuantitativo y cualitativamente importante desde el punto de vista nutricional por la cantidad de proteína vegetal que contiene. Además de que es importante su consumo por sus nutrientes para la salud digestiva y los hidratos de carbono que brindan energía. La especialista señaló que el pan es un alimento que contiene poca grasa, no contiene colesterol y es rico en minerales, vitaminas como el calcio, hierro, zinc, magnesio, potasio, fósforo, vitaminas B1, B6, niacina, diversos componentes

bioactivos, así como antioxidantes. Mencionó que aunque el pan tiene todos estos componentes que sin duda aportan una gran riqueza nutricional al organismo; la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) mencionó que actualmente no se consumen suficientes frutas, verduras y fibra dietética como lo son los cereales integrales.

“El

pan integral que se elabora con harina integral contiene vitaminas B1 y B6 que son esenciales para el metabolismo”

Recalcó que la preparación del pan ha seguido una evolución y en la actualidad a sus perfiles nutricionales le han añadido fibra, cereales integrales, semillas, ácidos grasos con omega 3, aunque seguirán incrementándose otros componentes que lo hagan aún más completo. Acosta recordó que las autoridades de la Secretaría de Salud en México recomiendan incluir pany cereales de preferencia integrales en las comidas para que aporten fibra y carbohidratos.

El pan integral que se elabora con harina integral contiene vitaminas B1 y B6 que son esenciales para el metabolismo, tiene un alto contenido de fibra que ayuda a regular las funciones

intestinales lo que ayuda a evitar enfermedades como la diabetes tipo 2, afirmó. De esta forma, expresó que el pan permite seguir una alimentación completa que repercute en la salud por la

gran cantidad de nutrientes que aporta al organismo y por consiguiente se hace evidente en un balance y equilibrio para la vida. “Date la oportunidad de disfrutar de este alimento

con mayor regularidad y acompáñalo de otros alimentos nutritivos como vegetales, frutas o verduras”, destacó.

Drugs and Music: What 1 in 4 American Adults Has Permanent Hearing Sex, They Have in Common Loss and Doesn’t Even Realize It, CDC Reports New research suggests that longer pleasurable (there music creates pleasure in part by acting upon the brain’s opioid system. This neurochemical pathway involves the release of substances naturally produced by the brain that are structurally similar to opiates like heroin. These chemicals are also involved in pleasure derived from eating sugary foods and activities like sex and gambling.

El Sol de Ohio Reporte Especial Listen up, Americans: According to this week’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Morbidity and Mortality report, nearly one in every four of us lives with some degree of hearing loss. That’s a problem. For the February 2017 report, the CDC analyzed hearing test data from more than 3,500 people in the 2011-2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The analysis revealed that 24 percent of people ages 20 to 69 had audiometric notches, aka increases in how loud a sound had to be for them to hear it. And yet, about a fourth of those people believed they had good or even excellent hearing. This data is pretty shocking, but perhaps the most surprising finding was the source of the noise that’s causing our hearing loss:

Previously, researchers thought exposure to loud noises in the workplace were most to blame for changes in hearing, but according to this report, the sounds people are exposed to outside of work (think: lawn mowers, sirens, and rock concerts) might have an even larger effect. Because we’re surrounded by these noises all the time, hearing loss is incredibly common. In fact, it’s the third most common chronic condition in the United States - and twice

as common as diabetes or cancer, according to the CDC. The report also found that one in five people in their 20s had audiometric notches, which is especially alarming because hearing loss only worsens with age. “Noise is damaging hearing before anyone notices or diagnoses it,” CDC acting director Anne Schuchat, MD, told the Washington Post. “Because of that, the start of hearing loss is under-recognized.” Wondering what you can do to protect your ears from

hearing loss? Schuchat recommends using earplugs or headphones when you’re at loud events or in noisy places for extended periods of time. And if you’re not sure whether your environment could be damaging your hearing, you can always try using the CDC’s new decibel-measuring app: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Sound Level Meter App can be used to gauge the loudness of your surroundings.

For the study published February 9 in the journal Scientific Reports, 17 participants listened to music they enjoy in the laboratory at McGill University. On one day, they did so after taking naltrexone, a drug that binds to opioid receptors and blocks the activity of opiates (it is also used to treat people addicted to heroin and alcohol). On a second day, they listened to music they like after taking an inactive placebo. The researchers found that when study subjects took naltrexone, they reported their favorite songs were no

was no change with the placebo). However, when they listened to music they didn’t have strong feelings about, the drug didn’t make a significant difference. The participants said their favorite music “still sounded pretty, but they weren’t moved by it” under the influence of the opioid-blocker, says McGill neuroscientist Daniel Levitin, who authored the study along with postdoctoral researcher Mona Lisa Chanda and Adiel Mallik, a Ph.D. student. “Normally it made them feel good, but [naltrexone] left them not feeling anything.”

Previous work by Valorie Salimpoor, from Canada’s Rotman Research Institute, has shown that the neurotransmitter dopamine is involved in the “reward” associated with music, says Josep MarcoPallarés, a neuroscientist at the University of Barcelona. Credit: Newsweek.

Why Autism Affects Boys More than Girls Researchers have identified one reason why the developmental disorder is more common among boys than among girls While the definition of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) has changed over the years, one thing has remained relatively constant: the fact that rates of ASD are anywhere from two to five times higher among boys than they are among girls. Until recently, brain experts haven’t focused much on the possible gender-based reasons for this difference. Now, in a report published in JAMA Psychiatry, scientists point to one possible explanation for the discrepancy. Brain scientists know that some structures in the brain differ between the sexes. One is the thickness of the cortex, the brain’s outer layer that is embedded with nerves involved in memory, thinking, language and other higher cognitive functions. Men tend to have thinner cortex measurements, while women tend to have thicker ones, and this difference is a pretty reliable way to distinguish males from females.

Taking advantage of this knowledge, Christine Ecker, a professor of neuroscience and brain imaging at Goethe University in Germany, and her colleagues compared the cortical thickness on brain MRIs among 98 adults with ASD and 98 people without the disorder. The thinner the cortex, regardless of gender, the more likely the person was to have ASD. Even for the

women with thinner, more male-like cortical thickness readings, the risk of ASD was three times higher than for women with thicker measurements more in line with unaffected women. “The assumption was that if the male brain were more vulnerable to ASD, then maybe the brains of females with autism have features that resemble the more male-like brain,”

says Ecker. She notes that the measurements don’t mean that the females with thinner readings had male brains. In fact, the study did not look at any of the adult women’s brain functions, so it’s not clear whether the thinner cortex had any functional effect. But the results point to a potentially important role for the cortex in better understanding autism.

It’s possible, for example, that the thicker cortex in women might be protective against developing autism. Ecker says she and her team are looking at other aspects of the cortex to support this idea. That could guide autism researchers towards more of the factors that cause autism, and maybe even provide clues about how to treat its symptoms.

Ecker stresses that her study is just the start. Her findings don’t make clear, for example, whether the cortical thickness is causing autism, or if it is simply a symptom of the disorder. In other words, do women who develop autism develop the disorder because they happened to have a thinner cortex, like men, or is their thinner cortex a symptom of the autism they developed due to some other reason? “We don’t know at this point,” says Ecker. With her next studies, she hopes to find out. She plans to investigate what functional changes the different thicknesses have on male and female brains to see if they can be connected to autism. She also wants to track the changes in cortex measurements over the lifespan, to see if the male and female differences remain from infancy throughout adolescence or whether they begin to appear later in life.

Francés acusa a Uber de provocar su divorcio y le reclama millones

‘NYT’ reporter Jacob Bernstein ‘takes ownership’ of ‘stupid’ Melania remark Un hombre de negocios afincado en la Costa Azul francesa, sur, denunció a Uber ante una corte de Francia por haber provocado presuntamente el divorcio con su esposa y le reclamó una suma millonaria por concepto de reparación. El denunciante, cuya identidad no fue revelada, acusó a la firma

estadunidense de haber inducido a su divorcio debido a una falla de su aplicación para celulares y reclama a Uber el pago de 45 millones de euros, unos 48 millones de dólares. De acuerdo a su testimonio, todo comenzó cuando utilizó un celular iphone de su esposa para solicitar un auto de Uber. Pese a desconectarse de

su cuenta, el celular de su mujer continuó recibiendo las notificaciones de todos los viajes de su marido en tiempo real. La falla técnica no fue corregida por la compañía de choferes en su aplicación para los dispositivos que funcionan con el sistema Ios de Apple hasta una actualización del pasado 15 de diciembre.

El diario Le Figaro que reveló este miércoles el caso, indicó que la denuncia fue presentada ante el Tribunal de Gran Instancia de Grasse, sur, y que las audiencias comenzarán en marzo próximo. Voceros de la compañía de choferes en Francia rechazaron realizar comentarios sobre el asunto

I’m a millennial with a job. Here’s why I’m still living at home

The New York Times features reporter reprimanded by his editors for referring to first lady Melania Trump as a “hooker,” took to Twitter Tuesday to out himself, take responsibility for his mistake and apologize for his “stupid” remark. “I want to take ownership of a mistake I made,” Jacob Bernstein said in the first of four tweets. Bernstein, 38, is the son of legendary Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein and his second wife, the late journalistturned-Hollywood

filmmaker/screenwriter, Nora Ephron. After Ratajkowski expressed her outrage to her 984,000 Twitter followers (she gained 5,000 more since Monday) at what she had been told by the reporter, the Times issued a statement indicating that the unnamed reporter had been reprimanded. “At a party last night, a Times reporter who does not cover Washington or politics, referred to an unfounded rumor regarding Melania Trump.

The comment was not intended to be public, but it was nonetheless completely inappropriate and should not have occurred. Editors have talked to the reporter in question about the lapse.” Eileen Murphy, spokeswoman for the Times, said Tuesday the newspaper would have no further comment. The episode embarrassed the NYT at a time when it is already under steady fire,

along with the rest of the mainstream media, for allegedly being unfair and biased against Trump.

El Sol de Ohio Reporte Especial In the world of millennials, talking about parental support is taboo. As someone who chose to live with their parents after college and who isn’t shy about disclosing it, I’ve always found this strange. I was born and raised in Queens, New York, in a working-class immigrant family. Then I attended a private liberal arts college in Connecticut where most of the students were from a very different socioeconomic class. After graduation, I, and lots of students in my class, did what many millennials do: They moved to New York City for work. But while I moved back home to both help and be helped by my family — my parents emigrated from Morocco and in our culture it’s customary for children to help out once we have jobs — my friends who were originally from the city had different ideas. Whether or not they were making money, they wanted to live on their own. “Don’t you want to be independent?” they asked me. The question bothered me for a while until I attended their parties and understood the irony.

They were not fully employed yet but they inhabited spaces that were twice the size of my parents’ home, because their parents were assisting them financially.

The most obvious plus is that I don’t have to pay rent. My parents own their apartment, so they mostly are concerned with other expenses, like utilities, wifi, laundry, and groceries.

“By living with my

I took over paying for these expenses so my parents could focus on saving money for retirement and travel. I contribute about $600 a month to cover these costs. That is still much lower than average rent in New York City, which is about $2700.

parents and helping pay the bills, we all save money — and I get to know that, whatever my friends think, I’m actually the independent one.

They thought they were being independent. Meanwhile, my goal was achieving actual financial independence, and being debt-free, by the age of 25. Living at home while I work full-time is part of my plan.

I also have a small family. It’s just me and my parents, so that means I’m paying at most $600 per month to have my own room and live five minutes from the subway and 25 minutes from Midtown.

The only disadvantage is that I can’t go out and socialize as much as my friends do.
