MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Welcome to Jairo Zuluaga
CEO-Publisher LATINUS Media Network, Corp.
Latinus 20 Under 30 Class of 2017 Honoring Young Latinos Making an Impact on Long Island, NYC, and the World
Hoy la población de latinos en los Estados Unidos es significativamente más joven que cualquier otro grupo racial o étnico. La edad media de los latinos es de 29, en comparación con 34 para los afroamericanos, 36 para los asiáticos y 43 para los blancos. Y la proporción de jóvenes hispanos en los Estados Unidos está creciendo. Hoy, unos 800,000 de los latinos nacidos en Estados Unidos entran en la edad adulta cada año, y la edad promedio de los latinos nacidos en Estados Unidos es solo 19. A medida que la población blanca envejece y los baby boomers abandonan los empleos altamente calificados en masa, los jóvenes latinos están a punto de sustentar nuestras instituciones económicas, sociales y cívicas. Ellos irán a la universidad y llenarán los empleos de los baby boomers. Pagarán impuestos, contribuirán con la Seguridad Social, comenzarán negocios, comenzarán familias, comprarán casas y votarán.
Today, the population of Latinos in the USA is significantly younger than any other racial or ethnic group. The median age of Latinos is 29, compared to 34 for Afro-Americans, 36 for Asians, and 43 for Caucasians. The share of young U.S.born Latinos is growing. Currently, from 800,000 U.S.-born Latinos a few enter into adulthood each year, and the median age of U.S.-born Latinos is 19. As the Caucasian population ages and baby boomers exit high-skilled jobs in mass, Latino youth are poised to sustain our economic, social, and civic institutions. They will be attending college and filling the jobs the baby boomers depart. They will pay taxes, contribute to Social Security, start businesses, begin families, buy homes, and vote. This population is creating what will be the future of the United States, but at the same time maintaining strong ties with their culture of origin. Thus, developing an ambicultural personality which makes it feel completely American and Hispanic.
En 2017, Latinus Media Network junto con Radio La Fiesta 98.5 FM presentan Latinus 20 Under 30, celebrando y honrando a 20 líderes latinos emergentes menores de 30 años que están teniendo un gran impacto en sus campos por su liderazgo, innovación, éxito profesional y compromiso con su comunidad.
In 2017, Latinus Media Network along with Radio La Fiesta 98.5 FM is launching its Latinus 20 Under 30, celebrating and honoring 20 emerging Latinos leaders under 30 years of age. These individuals are making a powerful impact in their fields by exhibiting outstanding leadership, innovation, professional success, and commitment to their community.
Latinus 20 under 30 es la primera iniciativa para resaltar el joven talento latino en Long Island y NYC, y estamos orgullosos de presentarlos.

La licencia familiar remunerada llega a Nueva York Por: Bernard Macias AARP Long Island Si alguna vez has necesitado tomar tiempo libre fuera del trabajo para cuidar de un ser querido, conoces lo estresante que puede ser abandonar tu salario o preguntarte si estarás empleado cuando regreses. AARP Nueva York y la Paid Family Leave Coalition lucharon por el programa de licencia familiar remunerada porque los cuidadores familiares que trabajan no deberían tener que escoger entre cuidar de un ser querido o perder su empleo. Comenzando en enero, el estado de Nueva York pondrá en vigor una de las leyes más sólidas de licencia familiar remunerada en el país. A continuación, cinco cosas que debes saber sobre el programa de licencia familiar remunerada de Nueva York: 1) ¿Qué es la licencia familiar remunerada? Bajo una nueva ley estatal, los trabajadores neoyorquinos podrán tomar tiempo libre fuera del trabajo para cuidar de un ser querido y continuar recibiendo una porción de su salario sin tener que preocuparse sobre si perderán su empleo.
5 cosas que debes saber sobre este importante programa 2) ¿Cuándo comienza el programa? El programa estará disponible el 1 de enero del 2018. Al principio, los empleados podrán tomar hasta ocho semanas de licencia y recibir hasta un 50% de sus salarios. Estas cantidades aumentarán gradualmente hasta el 2021, cuando podrán tomar hasta 12 semanas de licencia y recibir hasta un 67% de sus salarios. 3) ¿Reúno los requisitos? La mayoría de los empleados del sector privado del estado de Nueva York reunirán los requisitos para la licencia familiar remunerada. Los empleados que trabajan 20 horas o más a la semana reúnen los requisitos después de 26 semanas de empleo. Los empleados que trabajan menos de 20 horas a la semana reúnen los requisitos después de 175 días de trabajo.

Un estilo de vida saludable ayuda a mantener la diabetes bajo control
L
a diabetes eleva los niveles de azúcar en la sangre fuera de lo normal, lo cual puede causar problemas de salud. La diabetes puede afectar a cualquier persona, pero quienes tienen familiares con diabetes, o que tienen sobrepeso, no hacen ejercicio o tienen más de 45 años tienen mayor riesgo.
Coma saludable: Coma bastantes frutas, verduras, granos enteros y legumbres para mantener un peso saludable. Evite las grasas saturadas en comidas como las carnes rojas y los productos lácteos.
Ejercite: Incorpore el ejercicio en su día a día. La mayoría de las personas deberían ejercitar 30 minutos diarios. La combinación de ejercicios aeróbicos (tales como caminar) y ejercicios de resistencia (tales como levantar pesas) controla mejor los niveles de azúcar en la sangre.

Fin de DACA es alerta para el TPS Es muy posible que Trump reduzca progresivamente el Estatus de Protección Temporal para salvadoreños y hondureños. Tendremos una idea más clara en unos meses, cuando el TPS para los hondureños venza. Los hondureños tienen TPS desde 1999 y el período de registro actual termina el 5 de enero del 2018. Para los salvadoreños que han tenido TPS desde 2001, el período de registro actual expira el 5 de marzo de 2018. A los beneficiarios haitianos de TPS ya se les ha aconsejado que empiecen a empacar en el probable evento de que su programa termine dentro de poco. Para los 60.000 haitianos que tienen TPS, el período actual expira el 22 de enero de 2018. USCIS generalmente anuncia su período de reinscripción 60 días antes de la fecha de vencimiento. Entonces, ¿qué deben hacer los beneficiarios de TPS para prepararse? Mi suposición es que Trump apoyaría un camino ARDUO a la ciudadanía posiblemente a través de un largo período de residencia permanente condicional para los beneficiarios TPS que han mantenido un registro limpio y han estado pagando impuestos. SI REDUCE PROGRESIVAMENTE EL TPS, yo esperaría que TPS sea renovado por un año o 18 meses. . De la misma manera que él golpeo al Congreso con el DACA, creo que hará lo mismo para los beneficiarios de TPS. Después de todo, sólo el Congreso puede promulgar una ley que de estatus de residente permanente legal.
La decisión del Presidente Trump de poner fin a DACA debería sonar como advertencia a los 250,000 beneficiarios centroamericanos con TPS.
Después de los Dreamers, no hay ningún grupo más merecedor de un estatus legal permanente que los beneficiarios del TPS. Los miembros salvadoreños y hondureños de esta clase han estado cuasi-legales por más de 15 años, tienen autorización de trabajo, pagan sus impuestos y no tienen antecedentes penales descalificadores. Además, la mayoría de los beneficiarios son los padres de hijos nacidos en los Estados Unidos, y por lo tanto ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos. En primer lugar, el gobierno no puede simplemente deportar a un individuo con TPS si no tiene una orden de deportación previa. En el peor de los casos, a estos beneficiarios del TPS se les emitirá un Aviso de Comparecencia y podrán entonces buscar cualquier recurso disponible en el Tribunal de Inmigración, incluido el asilo y la cancelación de la remoción. Estos casos generalmente toman varios años para adjudicar. Los beneficiarios de TPS que no tienen una orden previa de deportación también son elegibles para obtener una Green Card a través del matrimonio con un ciudadano de los EE.UU., o el patrocinio de un niño ciudadano de los Estados Unidos que ahora es mayor de 21 años. Sin embargo, para calificar, el beneficiario del TPS debe haber ingresado a los Estados Unidos legalmente, ya sea originalmente con
una visa o luego de la Libertad Condicional Anticipada (Advance Parole). Algunos lectores pueden estar confundidos por las noticias de que algunos registrantes de TPS que viven en otras partes del país, incluyendo California, pueden ajustar su estatus sin ningún pariente calificado. Los residentes de Nueva York no califican. David Sperling: es un abogado de inmigración con oficinas en Central Islip, Hempstead, Huntington Statión y Riverhead.

“Antes de Morir, quiero:” Proyecto de arte mural, llega a Long Island.
El mural que convierte sueños en realidad” gracias al Long Island Educational Opportunity Center (LIEOC)
El ritmo de vida actual, las prisas, el estrés en esta época actual lo más preciado es el tiempo, para regárselo a los demás, para cumplir sueños, para reflexionar sobre lo que importa y lo que no. El Long Island Educational Opportunity Center, LIEOC, ha puesto en marcha una iniciativa con el objetivo de que las personas se detengan unos instantes a sopesar qué es lo les importa en esta vida, que es lo que les gustaría hacer antes de abandonar este mundo, cuáles son los deseos que les gustaría ver cumplidos. LIEOC ha instalado un muro de expresión libre junto en las paredes de su Centro en Brentwood. El muro estará a tu disposición desde el 31 de Octubre hasta el 10 de Noviembre. Todo aquel que lo desee puede reflejar los pensamientos, ilusiones y sueños que quieran ver cumplidos antes de morir. El muro estará presentado en Ingles (Before I die) y español (Antes de Morir). Se escogió la fecha cerca al famoso “día de los muertos” y “día de los santos” que muchos
hispanos lo celebran, y porque no, Halloween. L a ide a s u r g ió , c u a ndo e l organizador de la propuesta, Dr.Elsa-Sofia Morote, executive director of the Long Island Educational Opportunity Center, descubrió una iniciativa similar puesta en marcha por la artista Candy Chang en, Nueva Orleans en febrero de 2011, y que se ha extendido a más de 400 lugares alrededor del mundo. La administradora del centro de Brentwood, Dr. MaryKate Brennan, tomo la iniciativa para su unidad. La Dr. Morote asegura que “es necesaria una pausa para recapacitar y reflexionar para conocer cuáles son las prioridades en nuestras vidas”. Por ello, el LIEOC está realizado un llamado a la población de Long Island para que plasme sobre un muro callejero lo que es importante en su vida. “Para cada persona será algo distinto. Queremos conocer sus sueños y esperanzas”.
El LIEOC es un centro de estudio gratuito para la comunidad (con algunas restricciones) de carreras cortas, inglés como segundo idioma y preparación para la universidad. www.lieoc.org
