INCLUSIVE FAMILILES BECOME EXTENDED FAMILIES resolution results in becoming aware that opportunity right here at home is limited unless one obtains the training and education needed.

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

ow that November 11th Veteran's Day has been celebrated appropriately, it is time to think about one's family becoming a more inclusive extended family. This is in preparation for Thanksgiving Day family reunion get-togethers as a first step (regardless of long-term disagreements). Plan to get your family together in preparation for not only Thanksgiving Day, November 28, 2019, but also for Christmas, December 25th and New Year's Eve 2020. The main purpose of these family gettogethers is to foster the longterm relationships which have been the basis of your genealogy. At these family reunions much of importance will happen as an outcome of simply telling each other what you are doing and how it is going with you'. By sharing your interests and current involvements, you open the door to supportive and constructive commentary by those who are interested in fostering the best outcome possible. It is these intangible relationships and associations which result in those emotional commitments which are basic to not only family relationships but also to committed friendships. These result in a commitment to help out even if it is only with personal experiences of the past. It is during these conversations that one learns about the past challenges which were faced and resolved. Many times, the

And even then, it is in personal associations that one learns who can help open the door to the opportunity being sought. Those individuals who try to do things all by themselves invariably have many challenges which may be resolved by learning the needed information from someone else who is in that field. One common obstacle is thinking and believing that the challenge being faced is unique to you. That is never the case. In your family circle, share your thoughts and feelings so that by becoming slightly vulnerable others will be given the opening by you to share their experiences and know-how. Attending family reunions will give you the opportunity to share your current state of personal affairs with those most interested in your well-being. If you do not have brothers nor sisters, then develop strong friendships with someone who, over time and association, proves worthy of being trusted. As a teenager, I rebelled against the personal characterizations which were placed on me by others who were not family members, I wanted to go to college and did not realize that my father and mother did not have the background nor information which permitted them to guide my activities and interests. My mother used to say to me: “Solo si Dios quiere” (Only if God wishes (grants) it.”) My high

school advisor was an AngloSaxon teacher whose vision of my future was You are going to be a steel-mill worker just like your dad.” Somehow, in my mind I had decided that I was not going to be a steelworker'. It was a different Anglo-Saxon adult who told me, “Hilbert, you have a natural facility with numbers. You should develop that talent. Which I subsequently did by studying math all the way up to the calculus. Even though my high school had no science teaching laboratories, it was a natural sciences teacher who directed me towards books which informed me about the biological sciences. But it was my father who told me that while I was a teenager, “look around to the many different areas of work and knowledge because through that effort you may discover what it is you really like to do and understand. I am a 'steelworker” because that is the way I could make the most money which supports your mother and my children. It is those circumstances which influenced what choices I had.” My dad had the natural ability to analyze things. I saw him read many books as a child. And I know that I copied many of his habits of reading which led to learning and knowing something about many things. Looking back, there is one area where I could have benefitted by knowing more and receiving more guidance. That area was in dealing with money'. However, I learned much from friends whose families were better

off than mine. It was during discussions of future purchases that I learned to shop around for the best value rather than spend my limited funds on the fad of the moment'. It was at home; in the family that I learned to take care of essentials first. Most importantly, I learned to resist sales pitches. Most importantly, at home I learned to play games which were educational. However, I did play football as a sport where I learned teamwork and membership'. My swimming sport involvement taught me to develop my free style strokes for long distances. I was never fast and speedy, but I did have much endurance, so I ran the long races. Most importantly, I learned to lose with grace and accept the fact that others where more gifted than I was. However, I also learned that I had certain gifts which I developed. Basically, I experimented much as a teenager and learned my limits and developed what I was good at doing'. But through all these developments, I received support and assistance from parents and siblings though I did not realize that until I was a more mature individual. It was in the family that I was first exposed to being teased. And I miss all that now that I am a mature individual who has enjoyed my family, eight brothers and 3 sisters plus both parents who raised us in the Roman Catholic tradition of religion. It was in this family that I learned right from wrong; limits imposed by current lack of resource$ and

doing the most possible with what was available. Somehow, my family was always optimistic and content'. We all learned to share things fairly. It is these intangible human interrelationships which are missed if you do not attend your family gatherings or as an alternative, learn to be with friends who are good colleagues. These latter folks are the ones who become your extended family. Good mental health results from being in working relationships with parents, siblings, friends, and work colleagues. I also think that being a supportive and involved parishioner in a church group is a good thing. It is in the family that I learned to treat other with respect and honor their dignity and personhood. Today, many good friends and associates help me to sustain the quality of my life and its interests. With experience and maturity, I know that my perspectives have changed. “What is a good lifestyle?” It involves living with others who treat each other with mutual respect and dignity. And who know how to tell you how to enjoy and be glad, life is good! Especially when it involves your family members and good friends. Decide to use this holiday season 2019 to really enjoy the coming 2020 year! Begin with your family (and/or friends). The outcome will be inclusive extended family.

saludables y de mejor calidad, con menos enfermedades crónicas y más longevidad. Como muestra una estadística relevante: Los egresados de preparatoria viven 9 años más que quienes abandonaron la escuela.

¿Q

ué pensarías si te dijera que su salud depende en gran medida del código postal donde vives?

La buena noticia es que existen políticas y programas que pueden mejorar la salud, en la medida que tengamos la información para exigir esas políticas a líderes locales o que nosotros mismos tomemos posiciones de liderazgo local, estatal o federal.

¿Que me dirías si te dijera que tus decisiones individuales sobre tu alimentación o actividad física son sólo piezas de un rompecabezas donde también ocupan un espacio importante tu lugar de vivienda, tus ingresos, tu educación y hasta tu forma de transporte?

Entre las medidas que recomienda el reporte County Health Rankings 2019 se encuentran las inversiones para el acceso a vivienda asequible, los subsidios para el cuidado infantil y los créditos fiscales por cada hijo, de tal forma que permitan a las personas de más bajos ingresos tener ingresos disponibles para cosas vitales, como comida saludable, acceso a la salud, medicamentos, vivienda digna.

No se trata de preguntas retóricas, sino de una realidad documentada estadísticamente: Una de cada 10 personas que viven en los Estados Unidos gastan más del 50% de sus ingresos en vivienda. Y algunos condados urbanos con altas concentraciones de hispanos en California, Florida, Nueva York y Washington DC con altos precios de vivienda, para arrendamiento o compraventa, están entre los menos saludables de Estados Unidos. En El Bronx, Nueva York, más del 30% de la población paga más del 50% en vivienda. En California, el Condado de Los Ángeles se encuentra en el lugar número 23 de los 26 condados del estado. En Florida el condado menos saludable es Unión. Otra de las piezas del rompecabezas tiene

Photo Credit: Pixabay que ver con nuestros ingresos. Debido a que alrededor del 20% de los latinos vivimos por debajo de la línea de la pobreza, estamos limitados en nuestra capacidad de tomar decisiones saludables, costear el seguro médico, medicamentos o vivienda, e incluso manejar el estrés. Y sin empleos o ingresos suficientes es más difícil ahorrar o acumular dinero para amortiguar los momentos de dificultades

económicas, lo cual puede afectar nuestra salud física y mental. ¿Cómo podemos ayudar a hacer la diferencia? La respuesta corta es: con educación. Si las personas tienen la información apropiada, pueden ayudar a evitar que los determinantes sociales se conviertan en una fatalidad. La educación nos ayuda a vivir vidas más

El código postal donde vivimos no debería ser una condena fatal para nuestra salud. Pero para evitar que ello ocurra tenemos que identificar aquellas soluciones que ayuden a compensar los factores que hacen que las personas más vulnerables sean afectadas desproporcionalmente por determinantes sociales de salud .Para más información visita La Red Hispana.Com.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - A victory in court for workers at Antelope Valley Community College could have major statewide implications. Workers challenged a district decision to change their work schedules without having them vote on it as outlined in their contract. The Public Employment Relations Board ruled against the district and this week, the State Supreme Court let that decision stand. Jeff Freitas, president of the California Federation of Teachers, hopes this will encourage colleges to respect the rights of the people who serve the students, day in and day out. "It can set a precedent throughout the state about back pay and the abuse of wages and benefits for your secretaries, your janitors, your transportation specialists," says Freitas. The change meant that five years ago, people went from working five days a week to four longer days plus a half-day Friday - the same number of hours overall, but no overtime pay on the longer days. Now, Antelope Valley College will have to pay them an estimated $1.5 million in back overtime. Betsy Sanchez, a college spokesperson, argues that because the work schedules did not exceed 40 hours, no overtime was required. Pamela Ford - president of the Antelope

Valley College Federation of Classified Employees, Local 4683 - says the case affirms the value of workers standing together. "If there was no collective bargaining, then we would not have had any say in our work hours, and the president could have just done whatever he wanted," says Ford. "But collective bargaining is what gives employees rights within the workplace." Sanchez also notes many employees chose alternative schedules during the 90-day period before the change took effect.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - Trabajadores de un "College" comunitario del valle Antlope narran su victoria de la semana pasada - cuando la Suprema Corte del Estado se rehuso a reconsiderar un caso que involucra horas de trabajo y tiempos extra. El caso reafirma los derechos de los trabajadores de colegios comunitarios de todo el estado. Fue una victoria en la corte para trabajadores del del Colegio Comunitario del Valle Antelope, que pudiera tener mayores implicaciones a nivel estatal. Los trabajadores desafiaron una decision distrital de cambiar sus horarios de trabajo sin que ellos votaran sobre el tema,

como se especifica en su contrato. La Mesa de Relaciones Empleados Publicos ("Public Employment Relations Board") resolvio contra el distrito - y esta semana, la Suprema Corte del Estado dejo que se mantenga la decision. Jeff Freitas, presidente de la Federacion de Maestros de California, espera que esto anime a las universidades a respetar los derechos de las personas que sirven a los estudiantes dia tras dia. "Puede sentar un precedente en todo el estado sobre el pago atrasado y el abuso de salarios y beneficios en sus secretarias, sus conserjes, sus especialistas en transporte." El cambio significo que hace cinco anos la gente iba de trabajar cinco dias a la semana a cuatro dias mas largos, mas medio dia el viernes - la misma cantidad de horas en total, pero sin pago por las horas extra de los dias mas largos. Ahora la Universidad del Valle Antelope ("Antelope Valley College") tendra que pagarles un estimado de un millon y medio de dolares de tiempo extra atrasado. Betsy Sanchez, vocera del colegio, argumenta que debido a que los horarios no excedieron las 40 horas, no se requirieron horas extras. Pamela Fore, presidenta de la union clasificada de la Federacion de Empleados Clasificados de Colegios del Valle Antelope, Local 4683, dice que el caso tambien afirma el valor de que los trabajadores esten unidos. "Sin una negociacion colectiva no habriamos tenido voz respecto a nuestras horas de trabajo, y el presidente hubiera podido hacer lo que quisiera. Pero la negociacion colectiva es lo que les da derechos a los empleados en el lugar de trabajo." Sanchez tambien destaca que muchos empleados eligieron horarios alternativos dentro de los 90 dias previos a que entrara en vigor el cambio. El caso, en: https://pnsne.ws/36KAfeA

VENECIA SUFRE UNA INUNDACIÓN "APOCALÍPTICA"

Cristina Cabrejas EFE

Durante la noche la altura del agua llegó a los 110 centímetros y sumergió la cripta del santo, pero solo cuando el agua se retire se podrán evaluar los daños de la sal que se filtra entre los valiosos mosaicos y los mármoles.

oma - El ochenta por ciento de la ciudad de Venecia está bajo el agua. Se trata de una "devastación apocalíptica": Así definía hoy la mayor inundación desde 1966 de la ciudad de los canales el presidente de la región del Veneto, Luca Zaia.

En la rueda de prensa, el patriarca de San Marcos, Francesco Moraglia, aseguró que nunca había visto nada igual cuando a las olas enormes que surcaba la pasada noche la plaza de San Marcos.

"Venecia está de rodillas. La basílica de San Marcos ha sufrido graves daños, así como toda la ciudad y las islas", añadía por su parte el alcalde, Luigi Brugnaro, después de una de las noches más duras que ha sufrido en su historia la ya frágil ciudad. El alcalde compareció en una rueda de prensa muy afectado por los destrozos y aseguró que había visto a gente llorar "porque había perdido todo" y que ha llegado el momento de dar "una respuesta histórica" para salvaguardar una de las más importantes "tarjetas de visita" de Italia. El fenómeno del "agua alta" en Venecia, la subida de las mareas, alcanzó a las 22.50 (20.50 GMT) de ayer martes los 187 centímetros tras el récord de 194 centímetros que se alcanzó en la inundación de 1966, pero esta vez acompañado con vientos de hasta 100 kilómetros por hora. Las sirenas que anuncian las subidas de la marea sonaron hasta tres veces durante la noche y los daños en la ciudad se observan a simple vista, pero se podrán cuantificar solo cuando se retire el agua, aunque el alcalde ya avanzó que serán de varios cientos de millones de euros. ENORMES DAÑOS Y UN MUERTO Góndolas y lanchas arrancadas de los amarres y empujadas hacia las costas, cinco "vaporetti", el transporte marítimo público, hundidos o a la deriva, así como totalmente inundadas las tiendas, restaurantes y hoteles de la ciudad. Más de 60 barcos han sido dañados, según una primera estimación. También se ha producido una víctima, un hombre de 78 años que se electrocutó en la isla de Pellestrina, al sur de Venecia debido a un cortocircuito cuando

También ha sufrido algunos daños el Teatro La Fenice y aunque el agua no ha afectado a la zona del escenario, sí ha inundado otras zonas por lo que ha tenido que ser desactivado el sistema eléctrico y antincendio y se teme por la inauguración de la temporada operística prevista para el 24 de noviembre. El Ministerio de Bienes Culturales y Turismo italiano ha activado la unidad de crisis para verificar y proteger el patrimonio cultural que puede haber sido dañado por la marea alta excepcional que está golpeando a Venecia, comunicó.

Photo Credit: Unsplash intentaba bombear el agua de su casa. El ayuntamiento de la ciudad pedirá el estado de calamidad natural para poder contar con ayudas estatales e instó a todos los venecianos a documentar los daños que han sufrido. El Gobierno italiano informó hoy de que la situación de Venecia se afrontará en el próximo Consejo de ministros en el que se evaluarán "las intervenciones necesarias y urgentes para proteger la ciudad y los habitantes" y tanto el presidente del Gobierno, Giuseppe Conte, como algunos ministros llegarán hoy a la ciudad "Serenissima". Todas las escuelas en Venecia y de las islas permanecerán cerradas hoy y en varias zonas de la ciudad se han producido apagones, sobre todo en el Lido y en el Campo Santa Margherita, y el agua ha entrado prácticamente en todos los edificios del centro. Una de las imágenes de la difícil situación en la que se encuentran los residentes es la del agua que

sale a borbotones desde las tomas de corriente de las casas, lo que impide el uso de aparatos para bombear. "Es una devastación. Los daños son enormes y por desgracia no parece que esto se detenga, ya que continúa la marea alta, Los cuadros eléctricos de los hoteles han saltado y por tanto no se pueden utilizar las bombas para sacar el agua", describió a los medios italianos el director de la Asociación veneciana de hoteleros, Claudio Scarpa. La Protección civil comunicó que 130 bomberos están interviniendo en estas horas en Venecia. Y el problema para los expertos es que el mal tiempo no remitirá y por tanto el fenómeno del "agua alta" continuará durante toda la semana. PREOCUPACIÓN POR EL PATRIMONIO CULTURAL Preocupa sobre todo la situación de la basílica de San Marcos, ya gravemente afectada en la inundación de octubre del año pasado y que obligó a realizar una restauración de suelo y de las columnas.

EL MOSE, LA ENORME OBRA DE INGENIERÍA, ¿HABRÍA DETENIDO LAS AGUAS?. Tras el desastre de estas horas volvió a surgir la polémica por los retrasos en la puesta en marcha del sistema de diques móviles colocado a la entrada de la ciudad en el Mar Adriático, conocido como el MOSE (Moisés), que comenzó a construirse en 2013 y que se espera esté operativo en 2021. Costeado con 5.483 millones de euros, esta obra de ingeniería se estudió para proteger Venecia y su patrimonio único en el mundo de mareas de hasta tres metros de altura y de una elevación del nivel del mar de hasta sesenta centímetros. Pero el proyecto, iniciado en 2003 por el "Consorzio Venezia Nuova", ha contado con el rechazo de los ambientalistas y también ha estado salpicado por casos de corrupción, por los que en 2014 fueron detenidos el entonces alcalde, Giorgio Orsoni, y otras 34 personas, Para muchos, como el alcalde de la ciudad, el "Moisés" hoy habría detenido las aguas.

VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS LOSE SLEEP TO BINGE-WATCH TV

ENGLISH

ESPAÑOL

BPT

La misma encuesta muestra que los estadounidenses clasifican el sueño como su segunda prioridad más importante, después de la familia. Pero las acciones hablan más que las palabras, y no solo los programas de televisión tienen prioridad sobre el sueño. Dos tercios de los adultos han perdido el sueño debido a la lectura, el 75% de los hombres han perdido el sueño viendo eventos deportivos, y el 72% de las personas entre 18 y 34 años han puesto los videojuegos antes de acostarse.

new survey from the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) found that 88% of U.S. adults admitted to losing sleep due to staying up late to watch multiple episodes of a TV show or streaming series - and this number jumps to 95% when looking at 18- to 44-year-olds. The same survey shows that Americans rank sleep as their second most important priority, following family. But actions speak louder than words, and it's not just TV shows that are taking precedence over sleep. Two-thirds of adults have lost sleep due to reading, 75% of men have lost sleep watching sporting events, and 72% of those aged 18-34 have put video games ahead of bedtime. "Choosing to binge on entertainment at night instead of sleeping has serious ramifications," said AASM President Dr. Kelly A. Carden. "Sleep is essential to health, wellbeing and safety, and chronic insufficient sleep can lead to an increased risk of health problems, mood disorders and motor vehicle accidents." Here are a few tips to help binge-watch responsibly: Set an episode limit. Commit to a specific number of episodes at the beginning of your watching session. To decide how many episodes you can fit in, determine your bedtime. The AASM recommends adults get seven or more hours of sleep for optimal health. Use this bedtime calculator to find out when you need to go to bed based on your wake time. Get out of the "auto-play" loop. Many streaming services will automatically launch episodes one after another to ensure you keep watching. This makes it easy to think "OK, one more episode," leading to late nights and sleepy mornings. Check settings to turn off the "auto-play" and ensure you are consciously choosing when to continue watching, and when to power off for bed. Make time on the weekend. If you enjoy streaming for longer periods, set aside part of your weekend to catch up on your favorite shows. Reserving Saturday or Sunday afternoon will provide more time for getting immersed in your shows, while still providing adequate time for sleep. Filter out blue light at night. If you stream content on a cell phone or tablet, make sure you have altered the device's blue light setting to minimize the alerting effects of screens at night. Bright light, such as that from a mobile device, sends signals to your brain that indicate you should be awake. This can make it difficult to fall asleep. Adjust your screen's brightness in the evening and avoid any electronics at least 30 minutes before bedtime. Avoid using devices in bed. Streaming from the comfort of bed can also impede

"La elección de divertirse por la noche en lugar de dormir tiene serias ramificaciones", dijo la presidenta de AASM, la Dra. Kelly A. Carden. "Dormir es esencial para la salud, el bienestar y la seguridad, y el sueño insuficiente crónico puede conducir a un mayor riesgo de problemas de salud, trastornos del estado de ánimo y accidentes automovilísticos".

your ability to fall asleep. It's best to keep electronics out of the bed so that you associate your bed with sleep when you lay down at night. If you are experiencing ongoing sleep problems, talk to your medical provider, who may direct you to the sleep team at an accredited sleep center for help.

na nueva encuesta de la Academia Estadounidense de Medicina del Sueño (AASM, por sus siglas en inglés) encontró que el 88% de los adultos estadounidenses admitieron haber perdido el sueño debido a quedarse despiertos hasta tarde para ver múltiples episodios de un programa de televisión o series de transmisión, y este número salta al 95% cuando se mira de 18 a 44 años de edad.

Aquí hay algunos consejos para ayudar a mirar compulsivamente de manera responsable: Establece un límite de episodio. Comprométete con un número específico de episodios al comienzo de tu sesión de observación. Para decidir cuántos episodios puede encajar, determine su hora de acostarse. La AASM recomienda que los adultos duerman siete o más horas para una salud óptima. Use esta calculadora de la hora de acostarse para saber cuándo necesita acostarse según su hora de despertarse. Sal del bucle de "reproducción automática". Muchos servicios de transmisión iniciarán automáticamente episodios uno tras otro para garantizar que sigas viendo. Esto hace que sea fácil pensar "OK, un episodio más", lo que lleva a noches tarde y mañanas adormecidas. Verifique la configuración para desactivar la "reproducción automática" y asegúrese de elegir conscientemente cuándo continuar mirando y cuándo apagar la cama. Haga tiempo en el fin de semana. Si disfruta de la transmisión por períodos más largos, reserve parte de su fin de semana para ponerse al día con sus programas favoritos. Reservar el sábado o el domingo por la tarde proporcionará más tiempo para sumergirse en sus espectáculos, al tiempo que proporciona el tiempo adecuado para dormir. Filtra la luz azul por la noche. Si transmite contenido en un teléfono celular o tableta, asegúrese de haber modificado la configuración de luz azul del dispositivo para minimizar los efectos de alerta de las pantallas durante la noche. La luz brillante, como la de un dispositivo móvil, envía señales a su cerebro que indican que debe estar despierto. Esto puede dificultar conciliar el sueño. Ajuste el brillo de su pantalla por la noche y evite cualquier dispositivo electrónico al menos 30 minutos antes de acostarse. Evite usar dispositivos en la cama. La transmisión desde la comodidad de la cama también puede dificultar su capacidad de conciliar el sueño. Es mejor mantener la electrónica fuera de la cama para que asocie su cama con el sueño cuando se acuesta por la noche. Si tiene problemas de sueño continuos, hable con su proveedor médico, quien puede dirigirlo al equipo de sueño en un centro de sueño acreditado para obtener ayuda.

EARTHTALK Q&A: WHAT DOES ECOCIDE MEAN? Dear EarthTalk: I’ve heard of suicide, homicide and genocide, but what is ecocide? -- Leslie P., Carrboro, NC

ENGLISH

ESPAÑOL

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk

ecológica generalizada intencional, especialmente porque se refería a arruinar ambientes habitados para que la gente ya no pudiera vivir allí.

hile the concept of “ecocide” may be new to many of us, the practice of willfully destroying large areas of the natural environment has been around about as long as humans — although we got a lot better at it using the machinery we developed during the industrial revolution. Bioethicist Arthur Galston first started batting the term around in the 1970s to describe intentional widespread ecological destruction, especially as it pertained to ruining inhabited environments so people couldn’t live there anymore. One classic example of ecocide in modern history is American troops’ widespread application of the toxic herbicide Agent Orange across Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War in the late 1960s. It was used to clear some 12,000 square miles of tropical rainforest to enable flushing out the “enemy,” despite the toll on civilians and the environment. There are also plenty of presentday examples, including: mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia whereby miners blast through hundreds of feet of earth to access thin seams of coal; the “fracking” for oil and gas across wide swaths of Canada’s Alberta tar sands that has so far destroyed thousands of square miles of boreal forest and peat bogs while releasing hundreds of tons of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere; the dumping of crude oil and toxic waste into Ecuador’s Amazon by oil companies too focused on profits to do the right thing about waste removal; and deep sea mining whereby the use of heavy machinery to ply veins of precious metals from the seabed is ruining marine ecosystems we still know little about. In recent years Scottish activist Polly Higgins championed the cause of getting the International Criminal Court (ICC), an independent judicial body created by the United Nations in 1998, to recognize ecocide as a “crime against peace” in the eyes of international law. Her work focused on getting the ICC to add ecocide as the fifth prosecutable “core international crime” (along with genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes and crimes of aggression). Sadly, Higgins succumbed to cancer at age 50 in April 2019, but her efforts to institutionalize ecocide as a major international crime lives on with other activists. “Destroying the planet is currently permitted,” says Jojo Mehta of the non-profit Stop Ecocide. “That is how ecosystems are being destroyed every day by dangerous industrial activity, exacerbating the climate emergency and destroying our forests, our soils, our rivers and the lands that we love.” Mehta points out that any of the 122 member states of the ICC can formally suggest adding ecocide as a major international crime. Stop Ecocide is working with small Pacific island nations which are already “feeling the sharp end of climate change” to urge ICC to finally adopt ecocide as another crime it prosecutes. “Serious harm to the Earth is preventable,” urges Mehta. “When government ministers can no longer issue permits for it, when insurers can no longer underwrite it, when investors can no longer back it, when CEOs

i bien el concepto de "ecocidio" puede ser nuevo para muchos de nosotros, la práctica de destruir intencionalmente grandes áreas del medio ambiente natural ha existido durante casi el mismo tiempo que los humanos, aunque hemos mejorado mucho utilizando la maquinaria que desarrollamos durante la revolución industrial. El bioético Arthur Galston comenzó a utilizar el término en la década de 1970 para describir la destrucción

Un ejemplo clásico de ecocidio en la historia moderna es la aplicación generalizada por parte de las tropas estadounidenses del herbicida tóxico Agente Naranja en el sudeste asiático durante la Guerra de Vietnam a fines de la década de 1960. Se usó para despejar unas 12,000 millas cuadradas de bosque tropical lluvioso para permitir el lavado del "enemigo", a pesar del costo para los civiles y el medio ambiente. También hay muchos ejemplos de hoy en día, que incluyen: extracción de carbón en la cima de la montaña en los Apalaches, en la que los mineros explotan a través de cientos de pies de tierra para acceder a finas capas de carbón; el "fracking" para el petróleo y el gas a través de amplias franjas de arenas bituminosas de Alberta en Canadá que hasta ahora ha destruido miles de millas cuadradas de bosques boreales y turberas mientras libera cientos de toneladas de gases de efecto invernadero a la atmósfera; el vertido de petróleo crudo y desechos tóxicos en la Amazonía ecuatoriana por parte de compañías petroleras demasiado enfocadas en las ganancias para hacer lo correcto con respecto a la eliminación de desechos; y la minería en aguas profundas por la cual el uso de maquinaria pesada para surcar vetas de metales preciosos del fondo marino está arruinando ecosistemas marinos de los que todavía sabemos poco. En los últimos años, la activista escocesa Polly Higgins defendió la causa de lograr que la Corte Penal Internacional (CPI), un órgano judicial independiente creado por las Naciones Unidas en 1998 reconociera el ecocidio como un "crimen contra la paz" a los ojos del derecho internacional. Su trabajo se centró en lograr que la CPI agregara el ecocidio como el quinto "crimen internacional central" procesable (junto con el genocidio, los crímenes de lesa humanidad, los crímenes de guerra y los crímenes de agresión). Lamentablemente, Higgins sucumbió al cáncer a los 50 años en abril de 2019, pero sus esfuerzos por institucionalizar el ecocidio como un crimen internacional importante sigue vivo con otros activistas. "Destruir el planeta está permitido actualmente", dice Jojo Mehta de la organización sin fines de lucro Stop Ecocide. "Así es como los ecosistemas están siendo destruidos todos los días por la actividad industrial peligrosa, exacerbando la emergencia climática y destruyendo nuestros bosques, nuestros suelos, nuestros ríos y las tierras que amamos". Mehta señala que cualquiera de los 122 estados miembros de la CPI puede sugerir formalmente agregar el ecocidio como un crimen internacional importante. Stop Ecocide está trabajando con las pequeñas naciones insulares del Pacífico que ya están "sintiendo el extremo agudo del cambio climático" para instar a la CPI a adoptar finalmente el ecocidio como otro delito que persigue. "Se puede prevenir un daño grave a la Tierra", insta Mehta. "Cuando los ministros del gobierno ya no pueden emitir permisos para ello, cuando las aseguradoras ya no pueden suscribirlo, cuando los inversores ya no pueden respaldarlo, cuando los CEOs pueden ser considerados penalmente responsables por ello, el daño se detendrá".

DOES 5G CAUSE CANCER?

Photo Credit: Pixabay

Shelly Palmer

oes 5G cause cancer? No. No one knows what causes cancer. There are scientific theories, some with extraordinary supporting evidence, that clearly identify carcinogens (details below). But when I asked Dr. Michael La Quaglia, my granddaughter’s cancer surgeon, how a 2½-year-old gets pancreatoblastoma, he looked me straight in the eye and said, “If we knew, we could prevent it. All I can do is try to remove it. And, with God’s help, I will be successful.” Those words ring in my ears to this day. So, it is with a great deal of humility, personal experience and a strong belief in the scientific method that I submit to you a reasoned rebuttal to the meme that “5G causes cancer.” First and foremost, when researchers determine that something is a carcinogen (a substance, mixture, or exposure circumstance that promotes the formation of cancer), they provide clear, specific protocols to avoid it. So far, the only things related to 5G that have been classified as a carcinogen are cellphones. In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) put cellphones on its list of “Class 2B carcinogens.” Other Class 2B carcinogens include pickles, aloe vera leaf extract, and being a firefighter. The warning about cellphones from the WHO is best paraphrased as “Don’t use your cellphone as a pillow,” or the crasser “Don’t sleep with your cellphone.” That said, cancer is serious business, and this topic is more than worthy of exploration. History of the Idea There have been people claiming that electromagnetic radiation causes cancer from the advent of 2G cellular networks. This is not new. In 2000 Florida’s Broward County Public School system asked a consultant, Bill Curry, to study the impact microwave radiation might have on school children. Mr. Curry concluded that the technology was “likely to be a serious health hazard.” As evidence, he referenced a graph labeled “Microwave Absorption in Brain Tissue (Grey Matter).” The graph has become a popular meme. (See photo.) His report, methodology, and conclusions have been called into question by so many scientists it would be impossible to name them all. However, Christopher Collins, PhD, professor of radiology at NYU, sums up the criticisms of Curry’s report concisely: Curry’s work failed to take “the shielding effect” of the human body into account. Dr. Kalil Abdullah, brain tumor neurosurgeon at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, agrees. There simply is no credible scientific evidence linking any cellular network (2G, 3G, 4G, 5G or anyG) to increases in brain tumors or other types of cancer. Carcinogens

There are many known carcinogens. Some carcinogens, such as inhaled asbestos, certain dioxins, and tobacco smoke, have nothing to do with radioactivity. Everyone knows the danger associated with inhaled asbestos, and anyone who has renovated an old structure knows what it costs (and the lengths to which one must go) to remove the cancer threat. Similarly, cigarettes (the main delivery vehicle for tobacco smoke) have carried a health risk warning from the Surgeon General of the United States for years. Some electromagnetic waves are carcinogenic, such as the ultraviolet, x-ray, and gamma ray parts of the electromagnetic spectrum. Should you avoid extreme exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation? Yes. There is known correlation between exposure to UV and certain types of skin cancer. This is why you are told to wear SPF 50 sunblock and avoid extreme exposure to direct sunlight. It is why there is a significant industry based on the thesis that humans need to be protected from UV radiation. But, unlike exposure to high levels of ionizing radioactive material (such as the materials used in nuclear reactors) which deterministically cause radiation sickness and may lead to death, when one analyzes the effects of exposure to low-levels of nonionizing radiation (which we will define more clearly in a moment), one finds that cancer is a stochastic effect. In other words, the radiation we are going to discuss in this article only has a probability of correlation with the occurrence of cancer, which is a major reason (among others, including small sample size, inconsistent exposure rates and controls, and short duration) peer-reviewed scientific studies have so far been inconclusive. Ionizing vs. Non-ionizing Radiation The United States Environmental Protection Agency provides the following definitions of ionizing and non-ionizing radiation: Non-ionizing radiation has enough energy to move atoms in a molecule around or cause them to vibrate, but not enough to remove electrons from atoms. Examples of this kind of radiation are radio waves, visible light and microwaves. Ionizing radiation has so much energy it can knock electrons out of atoms, a process known as ionization. Ionizing radiation can affect the atoms in living things, so it poses a health risk by damaging tissue and DNA in genes. Ionizing radiation comes from x-ray machines, cosmic particles from outer space and radioactive elements. Radioactive elements emit ionizing radiation as their atoms undergo radioactive decay. Radioactive decay is the emission of energy in the form of ionizing radiation. The ionizing radiation that is emitted can include alpha

particles, beta particles and/or gamma rays. Radioactive decay occurs in unbalanced atoms called radionuclides. Why Some Health Professionals and Scientists Believe 5G May Pose a Threat In 2016, U.S. National Toxicology Program (NTP) published “Report of Partial Findings from the National Toxicology Program Carcinogenesis Studies of Cell Phone Radiofrequency Radiation in Hsd: Sprague Dawley® SD rats (Whole Body Exposures).” It’s not exactly light reading, but basically the report details a study where mice and rats were exposed to extreme levels of radiation in the frequency range of cellphones. After two years of “whole body exposure,” there were an elevated number of mice afflicted with heart tumors in the exposed group. This study has been highly criticized. Google it. You won’t believe the number of articles about articles about articles. Then there’s the Ramazzini Institute Study of far-field radiation effects on rats. Like the NTP study above, there is no consensus regarding the results of the Ramazzini Institute Study. This is worth Googling too. Same issue. How These Studies Relate to the Rollout of 5G There are some people who believe (and argue) that because the density of 5G network towers will be greater than that of previous wireless networks and because 5G networks will include wavelengths of higher frequencies than those of previous wireless networks, the risks suggested by NTP, Ramazzini, and other studies will be elevated. A few very competent scientists and health professionals have been quite vocal on the subject. That said, most of the doctors, radiologists, and physicists I’ve spoken to about this roll their eyes and wonder why tanning salons are not banned worldwide. Remember UV? That’s the type of electromagnetic radiation that makes humans tan. And extreme levels of UV (like those you receive in a tanning bed) are much more powerful than anything a 5G tower or device could expose you to. My Advice There are many things in the world that you should care deeply about and pay close attention to. I won’t give you my list, but I will tell you that fear of cancer from 5G networks and devices is not on it. Safety Tip Don’t put yourself in an environment where you are exposed to high levels of any type of radiation. Where might that be? Such places are so rare, they are generally marked with big yellow signs that say, “Warning – Radiation Area.” That is not a warning I expect to ever see on a 5G device or network tower.

COMMUNITY

VOTO UNÁNIME DEL ALCALDE Y AYUNTAMIENTO DE SAN JOSÉ PARA LA PROTECCIÓN Y PRESERVACIÓN DE 937 ACRES EN COYOTE VALLEY Inversión prioritaria de 93,5 millones de dólares para la protección de la infraestructura natural de California a fin de resguardar los recursos de agua para los habitantes de San José y garantizar un corredor silvestre vital de emergencia entre las cadenas montañosas

Open Space Authority

AN JOSÉ, Calif. - En el día 6 de noviembre el ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de San José aprobó la protección de 937 acres de espacio abierto en el norte de Coyote Valley. La medida se llevó a cabo a instancias de una innovadora colaboración entre Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST, por sus siglas en inglés), Santa Clara Valley Open Space Authority (la Agencia) y la Ciudad de San José. Esta histórica transacción de conservación protegerá de forma permanente el hábitat silvestre, las planicies aluviales naturales y la calidad del agua, y ayudará a los residentes de la 10.a ciudad más grande del país a estar mejor preparados para el cambio climático. Reconociendo los importantes beneficios que la naturaleza conlleva para nuestras comunidades, está colaboración públicoprivada se concentra en la protección de la infraestructura natural de Coyote Valley, cuyas características cruciales redundan en beneficio del medioambiente y de las personas. Cuando, en noviembre de 2018, los votantes aprobaron la Measure T (medida T) por una mayoría abrumadora, se generó una oportunidad única de conservar y restaurar Laguna Seca, el mayor humedal de agua dulce aún existente de South Bay, así como de las importantes planicies aluviales baldías que se encuentran en San José. Hay pocos ejemplos de una operación conservacionista de tal magnitud, y San José es una de las primeras ciudades del país en invertir grandes cantidades de fondos de infraestructura en soluciones ambientales para mitigar el riesgo de inundaciones y garantizar el abastecimiento de agua y su calidad en beneficio de las comunidades humanas y naturales allí emplazadas. Ubicadas en la parte sur de las afueras de San José, estas tierras baldías del norte de Coyote Valley serán adquiridas de los propietarios, Brandengburg Properties y la Sobrato Organization, quienes acceden a venderlas de forma voluntaria, a un valor de 93,5 millones de dólares, lo que convierte esta iniciativa de conservación territorial en una de las más costosas de California. Los detalles de los acuerdos de compra y venta fueron aprobados hoy en una votación once a cero (11 si a 0 no) por el Ayuntamiento de San José. A 100 000 dólares por acre, el costo de la tierra en Coyote Valley puede considerarse alto en comparación con los acuerdos de conservación de tierras típicos, pero el precio refleja el valor justo de mercado de las propiedades hoy. La recaudación de los fondos necesarios para la adquisición de las tierras está a cargo de POST, aunque se esperan también aportes de organismos públicos y de fundaciones privadas,

quiere estar, evitando así la expansión descontrolada que exacerba el tránsito y la polución e interfiere con el funcionamiento natural de la tierra misma. Este uso optimizado de la tierra está en completa consonancia con la misión de POST”, indicó Walter T. Moore, presidente de POST. “Aire puro, agua potable, un ecosistema funcional y saludable y un lugar de recreación de fácil acceso son solo algunos de los beneficios de los que tanto las personas como la fauna podrán gozar con la protección de Coyote Valley”.

incluida la Agencia. Aproximadamente, la mitad del total del dinero necesario para hacer la operación provendrá de un bono para infraestructura por 650 millones de dólares emitido por la Ciudad de San José con el nombre de Measure T (medida T). El alcalde de San José, Sam Liccardo señaló que: “La preservación de Coyote Valley para las generaciones futuras honra nuestra obligación como comunidad de cuidar nuestro planeta y, lo que es más importante, su planeta. Estoy orgulloso del trabajo hecho durante los últimos cuatro años junto con la Agencia, POST, los propietarios de las tierras y muchos otros actores comunitarios para negociar acuerdos, hacer campaña entre el público en defensa del proyecto, aprobar la Medida T en las urnas y, y cumplir con nuestra promesa a los votantes”. Asimismo, Liccardo dijo que: “Además de respetar la visión de muchos de nuestros predecesores acerca de la necesidad de proteger el cinturón verde para la posteridad, la preservación de Coyote Valley ayuda a San José que se vuelva más resistente a una serie de peligros relacionados con el clima, desde incendios forestales hasta inundaciones y sequía.” En el informe científico de 2017 preparado por la Agencia, Coyote Valley Landscape Linkage (Corredor ecológico de Coyote Valley), se identifica el norte de Coyote Valley como un corredor ecológico fundamental entre las cadenas montañosas Santa Cruz y Diablo Mountain que permite que la vida silvestre pueda emigrar y adaptarse a los cambios climáticos. Se trata de un corredor clave que conecta el equivalente a unos 3,5 mil millones de dólares de inversiones en espacios abiertos ubicadas en las cadenas montañosas colindantes, que albergan más de un millón de acres de hábitats vitales. Además, la conservación estratégica de Coyote Valley presenta nuevas e interesantes oportunidades para hacer actividades al aire libre y apoya la agricultura local.

Durante décadas, el norte de Coyote Valley se ha visto amenazado por la expansión urbana y ha sido elegido como sitio de emplazamientos industriales, incluidos los campos de tecnología de Silicon Valley y, más recientemente, grandes depósitos de distribución. La adquisición de estas tierras aleja el peligro que conlleva tal expansión y destraba oportunidades para implementar ideas a largo plazo para la conservación y restauración de los importantes recursos naturales de Coyote Valley y crear, así, un área de importancia regional, estatal e, incluso, nacional. "Elogio al alcalde Liccardo, el Ayuntamiento, POST y la Autoridad de Espacio Abierto por asegurar este acuerdo histórico. Nuestro entorno natural es nuestra primera línea de defensa contra el cambio climático y esta inversión en Coyote Valley se utilizará como modelo de infraestructura para resistir el cambio climático en todo el estado ", dijo Ash Kalra, miembro de la Asamblea del Estado de California para el Distrito 27. Kalra presentó el Proyecto de Ley 948 de la Asamblea en la Legislatura del Estado de California para designar a Coyote Valley como un paisaje de importancia estatal y crear el Programa de Conservación de Coyote Valley. “Con la firma del proyecto de ley 948 de la Asamblea, este es un esfuerzo que cambia el juego para poner fin a la mentalidad de expansión urbana y habla del amplio apoyo para preservar y restaurar recursos preciosos en todo California ". Esta iniciativa ecológica constituye un cambio de paradigma que rechaza la expansión urbana incontrolable para pensar, en cambio, en soluciones ecológicas que permitan reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, aumentar el almacenamiento de carbono y fomentar una región más sustentable y resistente al cambio climático. “El enfoque de San José respecto del uso de las tierras es progresista e inteligente en términos fiscales. Lleva los trabajos y las viviendas adonde la fuerza laboral

Durante los últimos cuarenta años, grupos medioambientales, como Committee for Green Foothills y Greenbelt Alliance, y las voces de muchos miembros comprometidos de la comunidad han destacado la necesidad de que Coyote Valley gozara de una protección permanente. Una vez completadas todas las transacciones, la Agencia asumirá la responsabilidad del manejo, cuidado y apertura de estas tierras al público. Ella se encargará de coordinar, junto con la ciudad, POST y los demás actores, la conducción de un proceso de planificación pública a largo plazo para definir el futuro de Coyote Valley y abrirlo al público. Dicha planificación dará cuenta de cómo restaurar estas tierras para mejorar los inigualables beneficios ecológicos, económicos y de calidad de vida que ellas conllevan. Durante el proceso de planificación, que se espera que lleve de 3 a 5 años, la Agencia organizará eventos educativos y oportunidades de voluntariado para difundir Coyote Valley entre el público. En openspaceauthority. org/coyotevalley encontrará información sobre cómo participar. Para poder restaurar por completo las tierras y llevar a cabo una planificación detallada del acceso público, será necesario contar con más financiación. Las iniciativas de recaudación estarán a cargo de donantes privados, agencias estatales y fundaciones privadas. En https:// openspacetrust.org/donate/ encontrará información sobre cómo apoyar estas iniciativas de recaudación de fondos. “Tenemos una oportunidad única de proteger y restaurar esta área de emergencia y aprovechar los beneficios de su espacio abierto, como el de permitirles a nuestras comunidades urbanas y naturales estar mejor preparadas al futuro para el cambio climático”, dijo Andrea Mackenzie, gerente general de La Agencia. “La Agencia está honrada de asociarse con la ciudad y con POST para garantizar un futuro más verde en Coyote Valley”.

JOBS & CAREERS

FOUR REASONS TO PURSUE CAREERS IN NURSING BPT

s time and technology reshape the workforce, most professionals are not in the position to choose one career or one track and stick with it until retirement. Nursing offers relevant, future-focused opportunities for people of all ages and levels of experience, from those re-entering the workforce or making a career change, to registered nurses pursuing further education. Below, you'll find for four key reasons students are pursuing licensure or a degree in nursing (RN to BSN and beyond), shared by Dr. Bonnie Stegman of Maryville University.

that shows no sign of slowing. That means you can expect competitive salaries and benefits. You'll even find that employers are getting creative in how they recruit and incentivize new hires. Mercy Children's Hospital in St. Louis created a seasonal staffing option, where nurses can opt to work a full-time schedule from September to June, then take time off in the summer months while retaining their benefits - and a guaranteed job in the fall. It's a valuable offering for anyone with childcare considerations. Other employers are providing financial incentives such as signing bonuses and tuition reimbursement. It's an environment ripe with opportunity.

1. Satisfaction

Make it happen

If you are interested in making a direct impact on the lives of individuals and communities, you should consider nursing. It's a rewarding career, according to nurses themselves - 83% say they are satisfied with their career choice. Many find the job fulfilling on a personal level as caring for others is a hallmark of the profession. Nurses provide a great deal of personal contact and engagement with patients, a traditional role that has only become more important in today's often-hectic healthcare environment. At the same time, nursing is an exciting and expanding field with new areas of focus and settings in which to practice. You have more options than ever before to pursue your individual interests and work at the cutting edge of healthcare.

Once you decide to pursue your licensure or earn a nursing degree, you have a variety of educational options. It all starts with finding a program that offers a realistic path for your existing schedule and responsibilities.

2. Wide-ranging opportunities Nursing often is associated with foundational healthcare settings such as primary care practices, hospitals or nursing homes. However, nursing offers many different paths to build and develop the specific track that's right for you. It

Photo Credit: BPT includes many different specialties, including areas relevant to our aging population, such as gerontology (focused on elderly patients) and genetics (patients with or at risk of hereditary diseases). You also can specialize in public health, working in nonprofit organizations, community health centers or governmental agencies. Across specialties and settings, you also can build on your experience caring for patients and transition into other areas, serving as an administrator or an educator, for example. 3. Flexibility The array of options and opportunities available within nursing means that you can pick what best

fits your needs and preferences. For example, if family responsibilities mean you need to keep a 9-to-5, Monday-Friday schedule, some primary care or specialty practices can accommodate that. Through telehealth, you can provide patient care and education remotely, potentially creating opportunities across geographic areas and time zones. If you're open to moving around, you might find work as a traveling nurse to be an interesting - and usually well paid - choice. And, this flexibility means you can adapt and shift your focus as you move through different stages and phases of life. 4. Demand and compensation Nurses are in high demand nationwide, a trend

Online programs typically are designed for flexibility. The online nursing offerings at Maryville University, for example, include an RN to BSN program with multiple start dates throughout the year that can be completed 100% online to help students balance work and school commitments. You also can find flexible options in on-campus programs as well. In addition to programs for fulltime and transfer students, Maryville's on-campus nursing options include a part-time evening and weekend program designed for working adults. As our population ages, career options in healthcare are predicted to expand and grow. Nursing is worth considering - a resilient and wideranging career field with significant opportunities, now and in the future.
