HOLA LATINOS P.8 Opinion

Nancy Comenta

Year 4 No. 37

Comience este Año Nuevo más saludable

La temporada Navideña para la mayoría de nosotros significa un tiempo muy agitado, una temporada marcada por comer en exceso, comprar en exceso, “todo en exceso”. Con esto dicho, y para comenzar el año con buen pie, hemos decidido que nuestra próxima edición sea dedicada apropiadamente a la salud y al bienestar para que puedan lograr una vida aun más saludable. Cada año, uno resuelve mejorarse de alguna manera u otra, pero a muchos nos resulta difícil mantener esas promesas. En los tiempos pasados era bastante simple, esto se lograba sencillamente con la disciplina. Ahora la tecnología ofrece todo tipo de aplicaciones electrónicas para Resoluciones de Año Nuevo que pueden ayudarlos a lograr su meta como: Shed Those Pounds, Diet Assistant y BMI Calculator para nombrar algunos. Para mí, es demasiada información. Me gusta la sencillez; menos es más y puede muchas veces ser una bendición. En estas Navidades, trate de pasar más tiempo con su familia y amistades, como en los tiempos de antes, de manera simple y buena, compartiendo con sus seres queridos. Apaguen sus celulares y aparatos electrónicos y verán cuánto más divertido se puede estar sin ellos. Utilice el tiempo que normalmente pasa en el teléfono celular para ir al gimnasio, educarse, o pasar más tiempo con su familia y se sorprenderá de que la época navideña será más significante. De repente muchos necesitaremos rehabilitación para nuestra adicción electrónica. Simplemente trate el yoga para dejar este pésimo hábito. ¡Les deseamos unas felices Navidades y un próspero Año Nuevo!

A New Year, a healthier you The Christmas season for most of us translates into a very hectic time — a season marked by overeating, overshopping and overindulgence. With that said, and to get off on a good foot, we decided that our next issue will be appropriately dedicated to health and wellness so you can achieve a healthier you. Each year, we resolve to better ourselves in some way, but many of us find it hard to stay on track. If you can remember back in the day it was quite simple: discipline. Now technology offers all kinds of New Year’s Resolutions apps that can help you make them a reality like: Shed those pounds, Diet Assistant and BMI calculator to name a few. To me, it’s too much information. I like simplicity; less is more and can many times be a blessing in disguise. This Holiday season spend more time with family and friends the simply good ole fashion way, with good ole fashion human contact. Turn off your phones and electronic gadgets and see how much more fun life can be without them. Apply the time you normally spent on a cell phone to going to the gym, educating yourself, or spending more time with your family and you’ll be pleasantly surprised that your holiday season will take on a whole new meaning. It may take rehab for many of us electronic addicts. Simply try yoga to help kick the nasty habit. Have a blessed holiday and a prosperous New Year!

Saliendo de la oscuridad legal y luchando por obtener estatus legal en los Estados Unidos Por: Elizabeth Amaran

En estos momentos tan difíciles y oscuros para muchos inmigrantes indocumentados en los Estados Unidos el reciente anuncio del Presidente Obama trae una luz que nos recuerda la importancia de vivir bajo la ley, luchando por la unión de nuestras familias y agradeciendo siempre las oportunidades que nos brinda este gran país. Con la nueva acción ejecutiva anunciada el 20 de Noviembre del 2014, el gobierno del Presidente Obama toma acción para hacer más fuerte la supervisión y el control de nuestras fronteras, dar prioridad a la deportación de criminales a la misma vez que protege a las familias otorgándoles a muchos inmigrantes indocumentados un alivio temporal de deportación. Primero, este alivio temporal incluye legalización y permiso de empleo para aquellas personas elegibles que hayan entrado a los Estados Unidos antes de cumplir 16 años y antes del 1ro de Enero del 2010. Este permiso temporal de estadía legal y empleo será por un periodo de tres años. Se anticipa que el proceso de aplicación comenzara dentro de un periodo de 90 días después del anuncio del Presidente Obama. Segundo, aquellos inmigrantes indocumentados que tengan hijos ciudadanos americanos o residentes permanentes que han estado presentes en los Estados Unidos desde el 1ro de Enero del 2010 podrán pedir permisos de estadía legal y permiso de empleo por un periodo de tres años. El proceso de aplicación comenzara en un periodo de 180 días después del anuncio.

Tercero, ha sido extendido el perdón de presencia ilegal para conyugues de residentes permanentes e hijos adultos de residentes permanentes y ciudadanos americanos. El proceso de aplicación estará abierto cuando el gobierno anuncie las regulaciones específicas a seguir. Cabe notar que todos los aplicantes deberán pasar un chequeo riguroso de su historial criminal ya que solo se perdonaran ciertos delitos de menos cuantía. Entre otras cosas, los aplicantes deberán demostrar su identidad, su relación con ciudadanos americanos o residentes y residencia continua en los Estados Unidos durante un mínimo de cinco años. Navegar las aguas de la legalización en los Estados Unidos es un proceso complejo que pudiera tener consecuencias negativas para el resto de su vida si no se hace correctamente desde un inicio, por lo que es importante que usted consulte con un abogado ético y especializado en inmigración antes de someter cualquier aplicación al Departamento de Inmigración. Cabe mencionar que los notarios públicos no son abogados en los Estados Unidos y no tienen entrenamiento legal necesario ni licencia para poder aconsejarle acerca de su caso. Llame a nuestra firma legal Amaran Law Group para su consulta migratoria. Nuestra primera consulta es gratis. En nuestra firma encontrara una respuesta clara y ética para su caso. Reflexionemos y celebremos todos juntos con nuestras familias y amigos la fuerza de la unidad y la perseverancia. Felices Fiestas.

HOLA LATINOS P.16 Reforma Migratoria

La Medicina Integrativa como forma de vida La Medicina Integrativa no solo se debe definir como la combinación de tratamientos alopáticos con terapias complementarias validadas científicamente, sino debe versé como una búsqueda a un balance y equilibrio entre Mente, Cuerpo y Espíritu. La MI (Medicina Integrativa), o la buena medicina, está tomando distancia y viendo que es lo que nuestros cuerpos están tratando de decir con el incremento de enfermedades crónicas que están surgiendo, no solo en porcentajes alarmantes sino cada vez a más temprana edad. Donde se ha perdido el equilibrio y que debemos hacer para restaurarlo. Hay cuatro factores que claramente están aportando a este desequilibrio, factores a los que debemos tomar conciencia para. tener una vida más saludable, feliz y balanceada. Estos son: Nutrición, Estrés, Ejercicio y calidad de Sueño. Dentro de nuestro centro y en mi práctica personal nos dedicamos a ayudar y dar herramientas necesarias para entender cada uno de estos factores. Es muy importante traducir toda la información que nos bombardea constantemente y hacer entender a la gente que el proceso es mucho más sencillo de lo que creemos. Nos concentramos, NO en modas sino en principios sencillos con sentido común. Principios que llegan a ser un estilo de vida. Nuestro compromiso es el de crear comunidad, educación y un espacio donde nos retroalimentamos con información y crecemos dentro de este campo donde cambiamos no solo nuestra salud, sino la de nuestras familias y comunidad. En la rama de Nutrición los principios que usamos son los siguientes: • La mayoría de la proteína debe ser de origen vegetal

• Aumentar las frutas y verduras • Consumir grasas buenas altas en Omega -3 • Eliminar azucares agregados • Aumentar el agua • Eliminar comidas procesadas • Alimentos orgánicos en lo posible El uso de la meditación, acupuntura, yoga, danza, sanación con energía, Mindfullness, y talleres son algunas de las alternativas que sabemos pueden ser muy útiles. Todo tomando en cuenta la Bio- individualidad de la persona. Disciplinas que ayudan a explorar un estado de conciencia que ayudan a ser feliz. La práctica de ejercicio físico aporta a nuestra salud beneficios fisiológicos sobre el corazón, el sistema circulatorio, el aparato locomotor, el metabolismo y sobre aspectos psicológicos y psicosociales. Estos beneficios son importantes en todas las etapas de la vida: niños, adolescentes, adultos y ancianos. Una vez entendemos y encontramos este balance entre la nutrición, paz interior y una rutina de ejercicio, vemos como se mejora no solo la parte de salud, sino el ánimo, energía, la parte física y como mejora la calidad del Sueño. La persona se siente en control y MAS FELIZ. “Imagina un mundo en el que la medicina estuviera orientada hacia la salud en vez de hacia la enfermedad. Donde los doctores confiaran en la capacidad natural de curación del cuerpo humano y pusieran más énfasis en la prevención que en el tratamiento. En este mundo los pacientes y los doctores serían socios buscando un mismo objetivo”. Andrew Weil, MD

From Medication to Meditation

Meditación: La Mejor Medicina

It is well known that stress has become a major contributing factor in the cause of disease, with some studies attributing up to eighty percent of disease to stress. From the Ayurvedic point of view, the cause of disease is attributed to “the mistake of the intellect”. This occurs when the mind begins to see itself as separate from the field of intelligence or consciousness from which it came from. The main goal in Ayurveda is to eradicate disease through purifying the mind and body, so that we achieve our full human potential. To accomplish this, stress would have to be eliminated from one’s day to day life.

Es bien sabido que el estrés se ha convertido en el factor que más contribuye al desarrollo de enfermedades. Hay quienes opinan que el 80% de las enfermedades son causadas por el estrés. Desde el punto de vista Ayurvédico, el origen de las enfermedades se atribuye al “error del intelecto”. Esto ocurre cuando la mente se considera ajena al campo de inteligencia o conciencia del cual proviene. El principal objetivo en Ayurveda es erradicar las enfermedades a través de purificar la mente y el cuerpo, de manera que alcancemos nuestro máximo potencial humano. Para lograrlo, el estrés tendrá que ser eliminado de nuestra vida diaria. Bajo estrés, nuestro corazón late más rápido; nuestra presión arterial aumenta; nuestra respiración se acelera; los niveles de azúcar en la sangre aumentan; producimos cortisol y adrenalina; nuestra digestión se entorpece. No es casualidad que el estrés crónico acelera nuestro proceso de envejecimiento y nos hace más vulnerables a enfermedades más severas como padecimientos cardiacos; alta presión arterial; cáncer; ataques de pánico y ansiedad; deficiencia inmunológica; depresión; úlceras gástricas; fatiga crónica; y migrañas. Una de las prácticas más efectivas para reducir el estrés es la meditación. Su práctica cotidiana ayuda a superar turbulencias, reducir el estrés, la fatiga y la agitación emocional. La meditación nos hace experimentar nuestra conciencia pura, en quietud. Al meditar, nuestras reacciones corporales son exactamente opuestas a aquellas del estrés: nuestra respiración se vuelve más lenta, la presión arterial disminuye y los niveles de hormonas de estrés se ven reducidos. Tomarse el tiempo para aquietar la mente ayuda a estar más centrado y equilibrado en situaciones donde las cosas no salen como queremos. Cuando respondemos conscientemente, en lugar de sólo reaccionar, satisfacemos nuestras necesidades más efectivamente. Yo siempre recomiendo a mis clientes tomarse entre 15 a 30 minutos por la mañana y por la tarde, para cerrar los ojos y sólo enfocarse en su respiración. Pueden alternar esta práctica con sentir los latidos del corazón y practicar agradecimiento. Esta es una técnica simple pero muy efectiva que practicada diariamente, puede convertirse en la mejor medicina para equilibrar tu salud y tu vida. Te invito a que participes de Martes a Viernes a las 6 pm en nuestra meditación de grupo.

Under stress, our heart beats faster; our blood pressure increases; our breath becomes shallow and rapid; our blood sugar rises; we produce adrenalin and cortisol; our immune system weakens; our digestion is halted. No wonder why chronic stress accelerates aging and makes us more vulnerable to serious illness, including heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, panic attacks, immune deficiency, depression, stomach ulcers, chronic fatigue, and migraines. One of the most effective stress-relieving practices is meditation. A regular practice helps you go beyond turbulence, releasing stress, fatigue, and emotional turmoil. Meditation gives you the experience of pure, restful awareness. As you meditate, the bodily reactions are exactly the opposite of the stress response: your breathing slows, blood pressure decreases, and stress hormone levels fall. Taking time to quiet your mind will enable you to stay more centered and balanced when things do not go the way you want. When you respond consciously, rather than reacting angrily, you more effectively meet your needs. I always recommend my clients to take between 15 to 30 minutes every morning and every late afternoon to close your eyes and focus on the breathing, alternating with feeling the heart beat and practice gratitude. This is a simple but effective technique that with regular practice, could become your best medicine to balance your health and your life. I welcome you to join us Tuesdays through Fridays at 6pm in our group meditation.

El Beneficio del Examen Dental a una Temprana Edad Muchos padres se preguntan si su hijo va a necesitar aparatos de ortodoncia y cuál es la edad apropiada para llevar a su hijo al ortodoncista. Solo a través de un examen dental completo que incluya radiografías se pueden detectar problemas de mal posición dentarias y la necesidad de utilizar ortodoncia interceptiva a temprana edad. La Asociación Americana de Ortodoncistas recomienda un chequeo con el ortodoncista a los 7 anos. A esta edad, la mayoría de los futuros problemas de ortodoncia pueden detectarse e incluso tratarse mientras que algunos dientes y muelas “de leche” aun están en la boca. Esto es importante porque algunos problemas de ortodoncia pueden ser fácilmente corregidos cuando se diagnostican y se tratan a temprana edad. La mayoría de los pacientes empiezan su ortodoncia (braces) entre las edades de los 9 y 14 anos. El tratamiento de ortodoncia temprana en niños menores de 9 anos puede prevenir problemas más serios y puede reducir el tiempo que el niño va a utilizar los aparatos de ortodoncia. En algunos casos, el ortodoncista puede obtener resultados que serian imposibles de lograr una vez que la cara o las mandíbulas ya han terminado de crecer y desarrollarse. Con el tratamiento de la ortodoncia interceptiva se puede guiar el crecimiento de los maxilares, se pueden corregir hábitos orales perjudiciales para el desarrollo normal de los maxilares y los dientes, y se puede lograr mejorar la apariencia y ayudar con el auto-estima del niño. En algunos casos, la ortodoncia temprana puede eliminar completamente la necesidad de braces y de cirugía de los maxilares cuando se diagnostica a tiempo. Indicadores de la necesidad del tratamiento de ortodoncia.

Según la Asociación Americana de Ortodoncistas: • Perdida temprana o muy tarde de dientes de leche • Dificultad para masticar • Respirador bucal (no puede cerrar los labios) • Mordida abierta • Mordida profunda • Mordida cruzada • El niño tiene habito de chuparse los dedos • Dientes apinados o en mal posición • Dificultad para hablar • Maxilares desviados • Mandíbula protruida • Morderse frecuentemente los cachetes • Dientes salidos • Asimetría o imbalance facial • Desgaste de los dientes (aprietan y suenan los dientes)

Dr. Marcela Newman DDS, MS

Si usted observa alguna de estos comportamientos o señales en su hijo(a), le recomendamos que haga una cita para revisar la necesidad de ortodoncia. En Hollywood Smiles, estamos dedicados a ayudar a nuestros pacientes para ofrecerles una sonrisa sana y bella para usted y sus seres queridos. Para mayor información puede contactar a la Dra. Newman en drnewman@hollywoodsmilesfl.com.

Benefits of Early Dental Check-ups for Children A complete dental examination that includes x-rays can spot upcoming dental problems early. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that your child receive an orthodontic check-up by no later than age seven. By this age, major orthodontic problems can be identified and treated while some baby teeth are still present. This is important because some orthodontic problems can be easily corrected when diagnosed and treated at an early age. Most orthodontic patients begin active braces treatment between the ages of nine and 14. Early orthodontic treatment can prevent more serious problems from arising and may make treatment at an older age less complicated. In some cases, the doctor can achieve results, which would not be possible once the face and jaws have already finished growing. By getting early treatment, jaw growth can be guided, harmful oral habits can be corrected to avoid further damage to the jaws and bite and the appearance and self-esteem of your child can be improved. Early orthodontic treatment can reduce and sometimes even eliminate the need for full orthodontic treatment (Braces) or surgery. What are the signs that indicate that you child may need orthodontic treatment? According to the American Association of Orthodontics, the following are early warning signs: • Early loss of baby teeth • Late loss of baby teeth • Difficulty chewing • Breathing through the mouth

• Open Bite • Deep bite • Cross-bite • Sucking on fingers • Crowded or misplaced teeth • Difficulty Speaking • Shifting of the jaws • Jaws that protrude, are recessed or which make sounds • Biting the inside of the mouth • Teeth which protrude, don’t meet correctly or don’t meet at all • Facial imbalance or asymmetry • Teeth grinding or clenching If you notice any of these characteristics or behaviors in your child you should schedule a check up for your child. At Hollywood Smiles, we are fully committed to helping patients achieve a healthy, beautiful smile. We look forward to meeting every young patient and will provide you and your child with quality dental care in our friendly, comfortable environment.

Out of the Box Decorating Ideas to bring in the New Year

This year, add a unique twist to your New Year’s Eve decorations. Bring your heritage into the décor. Let’s say your family’s background is Colombian. In addition to the typical New Year’s decorations that everyone displays, add the following: Create a centerpiece of fresh grapes to honor the Colombian tradition of eating 12 grapes at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Set bottles of champagne with washcloths wrapped around them. Colombians pour champagne over their body at midnight for prosperity. Decorate the house with old and new empty suitcases. Colombians run around the block with empty suitcases on New Year’s Eve so they’ll have a year filled with travel. Colombian custom also says to wear yellow underwear on the New Year. Wrap paper napkins in a pair of yellow underwear and use as a funny gift to take home. Bring out old and new family photos. Display them everywhere even on the dinner table. Find out about your own ancestors’ New Year’s Eve customs and add that extra layer of family heritage to the decorations. It will add fun and memorable storytelling. Plus, if you’re Colombian, your guests will never forget the yellow underwear napkins. Deborah Rosenberg, interior decorator. o:786-629-9581 www. DiMareDesign.com, www.Ddigz.com

Considering breast augmentation in the New Year? Breast augmentation, or increasing the size of the breasts by placing breast implants, is a surgical procedure which Dr. Rotemberg performs to enhance the size and also shape of a woman’s breasts. Reasons to consider breast augmentation: • correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy • balance a difference in breast size and shape • as a reconstructive procedure following breast surgery BREAST AUGMENTATION BASICS: What types of implants are currently available? Dr. Rotemberg: All breast implants currently available in the United States are silicone shells filled with either saline (sterile salt water) or with silicone gel. The United States Food and Drug Administration determined in November of 2006 that silicone breast implants are safe for cosmetic breast augmentation. Though still a matter of personal preference, silicone breast implants are rapidly becoming the more popular option for breast augmentation procedures. Silicone filled breast implants are FDA approved for women age 22 and older.

HOLA LATINOS P.30 Belleza Beauty

Where is the implant placed? Dr.R: Implants can be placed above or below the pectoralis muscle. Depending on your body type and exercise routine your doctor will choose the best position for the implants. Most implants are placed submuscular, below the muscle. The main advantage of placing the implants in a subglandular pocket or above the muscle is a shorter, more comfortable recover. However, this tend to make the implants more noticeable with increased palpability (you can feel more when you touch) and increased visibility (more rippling and wrinkling). This is not a good option for women with thin skin or little breast tissue. When implants are placed submuscular or below the muscle, patients have a more natural looking and feeling result. Since the implant is placed underneath the muscle, an increased discomfort from stretching the muscle is felt initially, but usually after two weeks the discomfort subsides. Where are the incisions located?

What size implant is better for me?

Dr.R: Implants can be placed thru different incisions in your body; it depends on your body type. We can use a periareolar incision for women with large areolas, an inframmary incision, the one on the bra line or arm pit incision.

Dr.R: Choosing a breast implant size will depend on your body shape and breast width. If you are looking for a natural look breast augmentation your doctor will measure your chest and will give you a range of sizes you can choose from that will fit your breast diameter. It is important to discuss with your doctor your expectations and what you are looking for with the operation.

The periareolar incision is a small incision made along the lower border of the areola. This approach allows the surgeon direct access to the internal anatomy of the breast and can be re-used in case of subsequent breast surgery. This incision tends to heal nicely, leaving minimal scaring on the breasts. This incision is ideal for women who have less developed breast fold or tuberous breast deformity.

The inframammary incision is made beneath the breast in the natural fold where the breast meets the ribcage. This approach often results in a faint, well camouflaged scar, hidden within the bra line and breast fold. It is the most commonly used incision for breast augmentation, it offers the surgeon good access for placing the implant with minimal disruption to the breast tissue. The transaxillary or armpit incision can be used for placement of implants. This exposure is farthest from the internal anatomy of the breast. In any event the implant needs to be removed or exchanged; you will need to have another incision in your breast.

Dr. Silvia Rotemberg

Do I need to stop smoking?

Certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery & Member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Dr.R: Yes, you need to stop smoking at least 2 weeks prior to surgery and not resume for at least two weeks after surgery. What medications do I need to stop before surgery? Dr.R: You have to stop any anti-inflammatory medication like Aspirin, ibuprofen (motrin, advil), Aleve, Celebrex, vitamin E, herbal supplements two weeks prior to surgery. You can take Tylenol for any headache or pain before surgery. How long do implants last? Dr.R: Implants are not permanent and will likely need to be replaced with subsequent surgery 10-15 years later whether silicone or saline. Can I lose nipple sensation or have numbness in the breast after surgery? Dr.R: It is not uncommon to have some sensory changes after breast augmentation, especially if there is a large implant. Most of the time the sensation will come back, usually after 6 months, especially if the implant was placed under the muscle. However, it is acceptable to have loss of nipple sensation with breast augmentation. It range from 5-10% with the inframammary incision and higher with the periareolar incision.

La glamorosa y simpática actriz y modelo venezolana, Marjorie de Sousa es una mujer que “no se da por vencida”, le pone mucha fuerza, dedicación y amor a su trabajo y su éxito ha sido el fruto de sus esfuerzos. No importa si interprete un rol de villana o de heroína, Marjorie siempre logra cautivar a su audiencia con su encantadora presencia, belleza y talento, nos cuenta que aun tiene muchos sueños por realizar. Marjorie de Sousa is a stunning Venezuelan actress and model worldwide known for her roles in telenovelas. She is on the list of People en Español’s “50 most beautiful” 2014. Marjorie is passionate about her work and says she is quite perseverant. She claims the love of her life is her mom and is a big supporter of animal rights organization such as PETA Latino. Por/By: Nancy Esteves

Entrevista exclusiva con Marjorie: -Marjorie, has desarrollado una exitosa carrera en México, aparte de tener belleza y muchísimo talento, ¿cuál en tu opinión es la fórmula del éxito para surgir en esta profesión tan competitiva? Majorie: No creo que exista una fórmula para el éxito, si así fuera seria formidable, yo creo más bien que depende de la fuerza, dedicación y amor que le pones a lo que haces y a lo que te gusta, esos factores determinan que tan exitoso puedes ser no solo eso pero que tanto disfrutaras del viaje mientras eso suceda, lo importante realmente es que te guste lo que haces. -Hiciste una estupenda interpretación de la villana Kendra Ferretti en la telenovela de Televisa “Amores Verdaderos”, y ahora eres la protagonista Sofía Ripoll en “Hasta el fin del mundo”, ¿con cuál rol te identificas más y porque? MS: No me identifico con ellas, tal vez tengan a veces los personajes que interpreto, cualidades o defectos parecidos a los de Marjorie pero no a un nivel de identificarme, más bien la belleza de la actuación es que tú puedes interpretar y sentir lo que ese personaje representa, de ahí viene la magia del cine, del teatro y de la televisión. -Estas en las lista de People en Español de las 50 luminarias latinas más bellas del mundo del espectáculo, nos encantaría saber ¿cuál es tu secreto para mantenerte en tan buena forma? MS: Ahí si te podría decir que definitivamente se tiene que ser disciplinado en cuanto a una rutina, a mí me encanta bailar, ejercitarme, las clases de zumba y también obvio cuidar mi alimentación pero siempre me doy mis premios de vez en cuando, no puedes ser tan perfecto, aunque te digo una cosa para ser bonita también tienes que tener

mirada bonita, un corazón bonito, cultivar tu alma y tu espíritu es importante. -El actor mexicano David Zepeda remplaza a Pedro Fernández en “Hasta el fin del mundo”, ¿cómo te afecta este cambio de personajes? MS: Me afecta en el hecho de que somos un equipo, somos familia, la verdad nos habíamos llevado súper bien, teníamos una armonía muy bonita aunque yo solo puedo respetar la decisión que tuvo que tomar Pedro para dejar la novela. A David ya lo conocía de antes y me parece un tipazo, es realmente encantador, divertido, siempre dispuesto a dar lo mejor de sí y está muy contento con este proyecto y eso se agradece bastante. -Hiciste el papel de vedette en la obra de teatro “Perfume de Gardenias” y recientemente realizaste una sesión de fotos seductivas para la portada de la revista Maxim México, ¿es verdad que anteriormente eras una chica tímida? MS: No es eso, simplemente que no me proyecto así, aunque dependiendo de la situación y el proyecto si se trata de ser sexy pues ¿por qué no? En Perfume de gardenia bailaba con tambores y zamba y eran rutinas de baile que exigían mucha sensualidad y yo lo disfrute al máximo, lo mismo fue al posar para la revista Maxim, me encanto el proyecto muy natural, sexy así como me gusta ser a mí. -Ayudaste en la campaña de protección a los animales de la organización Peta Latino. ¿Sigues apoyando a fundaciones que protegen a los animales? MS: Claro, soy protectora de los animales, me parece que son seres de luz que Dios nos ha mandado a compartir en la tierra, tengo tres perros que me hacen muy feliz, en Venezuela tengo mucho tiempo apoyando a redes de apoyo canino, en estados unidos a Peta Hola Latinos news / 954-260-8573/ www.holalatinosnews.com

haciendo conciencia de la importancia que tiene adoptar y no comprar una mascota y recién en México hicimos una campaña con la gente de la novela también, fue muy divertido pero también gratificante para mí. -¿Que es lo que más te gusta hacer cuando no estás grabando? MS: Dormir lo más que puedo, sobre todo últimamente ya que he estado trabajando mucho, también me gusta compartir con mi familia, pasear con mis perros, la playa, etc. -Cuál es la palabra que mejor describe a Marjorie? MS: Me gusta ser constante y no me doy por vencida. ¿Tienes un “amor verdadero”? MS: Mi madre. ¿Descríbenos tu hombre ideal? MS: No existe, pero sí creo en una alma gemela. Tuviste un romance con Julián Gil, ¿es difícil trabajar con un ex novio en una telenovela? MS: No lo es cuando se tiene comunicación y nosotros la tenemos, Julián es un buen amigo, está viviendo un buen momento en todos los niveles y me alegra por él, sabe que le deseo lo mejor. ¿Qué proyectos profesionales vas a desarrollar en un futuro cercano? MS: Tengo varios pero por lo pronto lo más importante es la novela, ya poco a poco les iré contando cuales son y estoy segura que los disfrutarán tanto como yo. ¿Qué sueño te falta aún por realizar? MS: Todos los días se suman nuevos, creo que esa lista jamás terminara, más bien crece todos los días.

Castannette casting winner Hola Latinos Mr. MODEL DECEMBER 2014 ELIO

ello and Happy Holidays! My name is Elio I was born and raised in Trani Italy. Dreams have a price; a price that can sometimes be much higher than you expected. When I made the decision to pursue my dreams as a fitness model I had to leave behind everything that was important to me: friends, family and love. At the age of 18 I started studying acting and cinematography in Bologna, Italy while I worked as a personal trainer (my every day job). During this time I enjoyed participating in a few local films, but was also approached with my first modeling opportunity. I modeled for a men’s underwear catalog, followed with fashion shootings for various Italian brands which eventually led to working as a fitness model for Duemila Magazine. Having found a passion for fitness modeling and being driven by the desire to challenge myself, I left my country with the determination to chase and fulfill my dreams at any cost. I now live in Miami where I’ve started taking the first steps towards my goal doing print advertising for men’s underwear, as a fitness model and occasionally acting in small roles for Telemundo and Venevision. Some of my recent work includes a commercial for AT & T and winning the largest amount of votes that has taken me to the next stage of a contest to be “Mr. Duntless”, a men’s fashion line out of Washington, DC. My main focus right now is to prepare for the NPC men’s physique competition, which is my next big step towards my goal of being one of the best fitness models in the US. Today I reside in Miami Beach and dedicate my life to motivating others to overcome their insecurities and fears by helping them transform their bodies, led by the power of the mind.

Romeo Romeo Renegade Bark Thou

Merry Furry Howlidays & Meowlidays By: Annette Reine & Romeo –– Romeo@ Castapet.com Renegade in Picture above

Howldy! Getting ready for the Holidays? Sometimes I wish I lived up North where I could see the leaves change and create yellow snow. If I were blind which many pets as they age do become I would be so sad. I may not be able to walk on all fours but I do have 20/20. We received an early Xmas gift the other day with the presence of Renegade. He has the most gorgeous blue eyes. My Mom heard him barking on the side of our house, when she went outside Nancy was there with this beautiful big dog. He approached her when she was bringing in her groceries. We later found out he is deaf. His good senses kicked in and he knew right where to go when he was lost to my Mom Annette and Nancy two animal lovers. They directed him through our white gate. First he hesitated then he nodded and came through the gate and into our house. He sniffed the tiny cat toys then went right for the larger dog toys and proceeded to the back yard where he galloped like a pony. My Mom went inside to design found dog flyers when she returned Renegade was sitting in her vintage chair with a stuffed animal in his mouth.. Thank goodness she had the brains to call Dalmatian Rescue in North Miami. Right when she and Nancy hung up the second flyer she received a call from Patty that she found Renegade’s Mom. We thought we were going to have to play fetch forever. We slept good that night and so did Renegade.zzzzz! Deaf dogs do very well just like me a paralyzed dog, our worldly view is different. We communicate in a different order than humans whose hearing seeing and smelling are in a 123 sequence. A dog segquence is smelling seeing and hearing. A dogs sense of smell is able to sum up a lot about a person and its surroundings. When Renegade sniffed my Mom and Nancy he trusted us. When grooming a deaf dog do not cut off its whiskers they use this to sense their distance around them. I wasn’t born paralyzed however I don’t dwell that I cannot walk anymore. A dog that is born deaf does not know any different. My Mom does not treat me like I have a disability and for that reason I have become strong and confident. For dogs it is all about let’s play lets go out lick your face and let’s eat. After designing the flyers Renegade jumped up gently and hugged and kissed her he was so grateful she returned. Dogs can tell when a person has emotional issues. As a dog our instincts are to live in packs with one as a hierarchy. You can teach a deaf dog hand signals, to heel on a lead and to enter and exit all door and gateways after you. Be calm and confident. Make sure your pet has a name tag indicating it is deaf with your number. Some dog breeds have a higher rate of being deaf than others such as the English Setters, Jack Russell, Dalmatians and the Catahoula Leopard like Renegade. If you think your dog may be deaf wait until your dog is asleep and make a noise behind him make sure they cannot see you move or feel vibrations. If your dog seems to be ignoring you or doesn’t recognize you pouring food as usual you may want to test their hearing with the Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response procedure BAER. When pets age their hearing becomes faint they cannot hear a car or danger approaching. Put a bell on their collar and flash the porch light for them to come in. Deaf dogs bond with their pet parents and may seem needy but when they hug and kiss you and give you that puppy dog look the gushing gue in your heart makes it all worthwhile. If you have an empty spot in your heart that needs to be filled you may want to adopt 1 Dalmatian not 101 Dalmatians! Visit Patty at http://www.dalmatianrescue.com

Florida State vs. University of Miami A CLASSIC! There are many that say that Miami is not a good “college football town”; you would not even imagine this was possible if you were at sold-out Sun Life Stadium on Saturday Nov 15th for the Florida State University Seminoles vs. University of Miami Hurricanes rivalry match. The tailgating started early in the day for an 8:00 pm kickoff. All fans were dressed (at times almost undressed) representing their teams. Cooking, drinking, partying and just having a great time. The game was one of the most memorable this year and will become one of the classics. FSU came in as the favorite, undefeated and ranked #1 in the polls with its star and controversial quarterback, Winston. University of Miami, mostly freshmen with a lot of passion and a good defense, the underdogs of course, startled the Florida State team and fans, when at half time the score was 23-10 in Miami’s favor. In the end, Jameis Winston’s Heisman passing accuracy won the game in the 4th quarter, FSU 30 – MIA 26 was the final score. Everyone left this rivalry happy and satisfied. Miami knows it has what it take to be a viable contender, looking forward to next year when all the freshmen have matured. Florida State finished the game with a win, on track to compete for their second straight National Championship.

University of Miami entering the field to a standing ovation!
