Allergies, glaciers, and pikas: climate change in action

Canada–Mexico–United States 2026 FIFA World Cup bid

WASHINGTON >> You don’t just feel the heat of global warming, you can see it in action all around.

Some examples of where climate change’s effects have been measured: —Glaciers across the globe are melting and retreating, with 279 billion tons of ice lost since 2002, according to NASA’s GRACE satellite. Jakobshavn Glacier in Greenland is flowing faster than any other glacier on Earth.

In 2012, it hit a record pace of about 75 inches per hour (1.9 meters). In 2017, it slowed down to 40 inches per hour (1 meter).

The Portage Glacier in Alaska has retreated so much it cannot be seen from the visitor center that opened in 1986.

—In the Rocky Mountains, the first robins of spring are arriving 10.5 days earlier than 30 years ago. The first larkspur wildflower is showing up eight days earlier and the marmots are coming out of hibernation five days earlier, according to data gathered by the Rocky Mountain Biological Lab.

United 2026 was a successful joint bid, led by the United States Soccer Federation, to host the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States, as well as sites in Canada and Mexico as co-hosts.

While the soccer federations of Canada, Mexico, and the United States had individually announced plans to field a bid for the 2026 World Cup, the concept of a joint bid among the three North American countries was first proposed in 2016. The

joint bid was officially unveiled on April 10, 2017, under which the tournament would be held at venues in all three countries.

A shortlist of 23 candidate cities were named in the official bid, with 17 in the U.S., 3 in Canada, and 3 in Mexico. Ten U.S. candidate cities will join three Canadian candidate cities, and three Mexican candidate cities, to form the roster of 16 cities that will host the matches of this World Cup. Although a joint bid, the majority of the matches will be

held in the United States. Canada and Mexico will host 10 matches each, while the United States will host the other 60, including all matches from the quarterfinals onward.

Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. announced interest to submit a bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup years before the federations intended to unify their efforts.

On June 13, 2018, at the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow, Russia, the United bid was selected by 134 votes to Morocco’s 65, while Iran voted for neither.

In July 2012, Canadian Soccer Association president Victor Montagliani confirmed plans for a Canadian bid, saying: “We have verbally told FIFA that when the bid process begins for the next available World Cup, which would be the 2026 World Cup, that the CSA will be one of the countries putting in a formal proposal”. At the time the bid was announced, Canada had hosted the men’s 1987 Under-16 World Championship and the U-20 World Cups for both men and women; the country has since hosted the 2014 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup and the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015.

In October 2013, Montagliani confirmed Canada’s intention

Upon this selection, Canada will become the fifth country to host both the men’s and women’s World Cup, joining Sweden, the United States, Germany, and France. Mexico will become the first country to host three men’s World Cups, and the United States will become the first country to host both the men’s and women’s World Cup twice each.

This will be the first World Cup to be hosted in three countries and the first since 2002 to have multiple host countries.

On May 13, 2016, at the FIFA Congress in Mexico City, USSF board member John Motta told ESPN “whatever happens, we will bid for the 2026 World Cup -- either jointly (with Mexico or Canada) or we will go it alone.”.

The United States hosted the 1994 FIFA World Cup and unsuccessfully bid for the 2022 World Cup, which was won by Qatar in 2010. On April 18, 2015, Brazilian legend Pelé stated that the United States should host the 2026 World Cup.

Student Loans Through Banks

A Reasonable Strategy for Financing Private Student Loans There are very few students in the financial position to pay for their college education out of pocket. Nearly every college-bound student will need some form of financial aid, and most students will need to use a variety of funding sources to successfully cover the total costs of their post-secondary education. Scholarships and grants should be every student’s first priority, as the award money never has to be repaid.

But even with scholarships and grants, most students will still be left with greater or lesser levels of unmet need. To bridge this gap in college financing, many students will need to consider some form of education loan.

Federal student loan programs should be every college-bound student’s first stop when looking to supplement their college fund. Federal loans offer the lowest fixed interest rates, and the most attractive and flexible repayment plans. Government student loans are offered on the basis of financial need, and are not wholly dependent upon the applicant’s credit history. This makes them particularly suitable for college students who will have little or no credit history to speak of. Students in need of education loans are advised to investigate all possible Federal and State-based loans before pursuing any private student loans.

Private student loans, also referred to as alternative student loans, are offered by banks and independent lending institutions to help cover any unmet financial need that remains after scholarships, grants, government loans and family college savings have been applied to a student’s tuition costs. They serve a vital function in helping students pay for their college education, but they should not be entered into lightly. Private student loans, unlike their Federal counterparts, are entirely decided on the basis of the applicant’s credit history.

Most students will require a cosigner in order to qualify for a private loan, and will be expected to sign a binding promissory note guaranteeing repayment according to the terms and conditions of the loan.

Educational bank loans Calculating your remaining college financial needs: When considering a private lender student loan, the first step is to determine the total amount of your unmet need. It is important to calculate as nearly as possible the amount of money needed to cover any outstanding college costs. Rule number one concerning private, or alternative, student loans is to never borrow more than is absolutely necessary.

When calculating the total cost of college attendance, remember that you must consider not only tuition fees, but all additional

EDUCATION costs such as books, housing, lab fees and any other education-related expenses. From this total, students will need to subtract the total amount of their college fund, including personal savings, scholarships, grants and any federal and state loans for which they have qualified. What remains is your unmet need, and this is the amount you will use when considering any private loans. The precise calculation of your unmet need will help you avoid taking on more in student loans than is absolutely necessary, so it is important to give this step due time and attention.

Most banks and private lenders offer their own college cost calculators, and these can be accessed on the lender’s website. Tuition calculators and student loan calculators are helpful tools to assist students, and their families, in determining the remaining funds necessary to cover the actual costs of college attendance.

Choosing A Private Loan Lender When college-bound students have exhausted all other forms of financial aid, it may be necessary to consider a private student loan. Most national banks and private lending institutions offer their own types of education loans. Each lender sets their own terms and conditions, and no two private student loans will be exactly alike. Different lending institutions will offer different interest rates, loan limits, processing fees and repayment requirements. Students should understand all aspects of the loan being considered before signing any agreement.

Private student loans are available from most national banks, as well as from private loans for collegelending companies. Some of the more notable lending institutions offering student loans include: Citibank Wells Fargo Chase SunTrust Sallie Mae Private lenders offer loans for a wide variety of students, ad-

dressing a wide range of student needs. The most common private student loans include: Undergraduate Student Loans Graduate Student Loans Loans for Medical School Loans for Law School Student loans for the Bar Exam Banks and private lending institutions make applying for student loans easy, and many offer online application processes.

However, students should not be swayed by convenience and accessibility. Private student loans require careful consideration, and many college students have been undone by taking on more than they can handle in private lender loans.

How Private Loans Work Unlike Federal student loans, which are largely determined by financial need, private student loans are entirely based on the applicant’s credit history. The terms and conditions of private lender loans will vary according to lender, and according to the applicant’s credit score. College-bound students considering a private lender should make a note of the following points when negotiating any loan agreement.

Private student loans are entirely based on the applicants’ credit history Students with little, or no, credit history will need to have a cosigner to secure a loan Private loans are subject to higher variable interest rates than their Federal counterparts.

Private student loans rarely offer grace periods for repayment.

Students, or their parents, are required to begin repayment immediately after the funds have been disbursed.

Private lender loans often contain origination and processing fees, as well as penalties for early repayment.

Borrowing limits for private loans are determined by credit history, and lenders typically set a minimum loan allowance.

Read and Understand the Terms of Your College Loan Before signing any loan agreement, students should be certain

Section A- 3 that they understand all of the terms and conditions associated with their private student loan. This includes repayment plans, interest levels and all fees and penalties associate with the loan. Finding the money for college can be a stressful time, and students may feel rushed to complete their loan applications and secure their funds as quickly as possible, but it is important to take the time to compare various lenders and loan services before signing any contract. Ask detailed questions about any part of the loan agreement that seems unclear, and only sign when you are certain you understand, and are prepared to meet, all of the loan’s requirements.

When used judiciously, private/ alternative student loans can help bridge the gap between a student’s accumulated college fund and any remaining unmet need. They remain a vital tool for students looking for the necessary money to pay for college, but private loans do contain hazards for the unwary. Never consider a private student loan lightly.

Be sure you understand what is being offered by the lender, and what will be required of you – the borrower.

Never sign a loan agreement until it has been explained to your satisfaction, and always remember rule number one: Do Not Borrow More than You Absolutely Need.

Colombia: Pro-business, conservative Ivan Duque wins presidential election

Conservative Ivan Duque has won the presidential runoff. The pro-business candidate has said he would alter some of the terms of the 2016 peace deal with FARC which ended decades of conflict in the South American state.

Conservative candidate Ivan Duque has won Colombia’s presidential runoff election on Sunday, obtaining 54 percent of the vote. His leftist challenger Gustavo Petro, a former rebel, had 41 percent.

Turnout was reported at 53 percent, only slightly lower than for the first round of voting three weeks ago.

In his victory speech, Duque said he wanted to build consensus and unite the country, following a divisive campaign. On the historic peace agreement with the FARC, he acknowledged the importance of maintaining peace, but said he intended to put the victims of the conflict at the center of any changes to the accord.

Read more: In Colombia, it’s dangerous to be left wing Duque had campaigned on a promise to review and correct parts of the 2016 peace accord which had guaranteed seats in Congress for FARC rebel leaders and promises of lenient sentences for crimes committed during the conflict.

The 41-year-old also promised to attack corruption and tackle the rise in cocaine production which, he said, was threatening national security.

Gustavo Petro conceded defeat,

INTERNATIONAL had given him their vote because of Uribe’s endorsement.

He also gained support from the far-right and the increasingly influential evangelical Christians.

Duque is a social conservative who opposes gay marriage, euthanasia and the decriminalization of drugs. He will become Colombia’s youngest president when he takes office on August 7.

Challenges for the new president On Duque’s presidential agenda is not only the peace deal but also narco-trafficking. Colombia’s production of cocaine has increased, and armed groups are fighting each other for control of routes once controlled

by FARC. Latin America’s fourth-largest economy is heavily dependent on exports of coal, nickel, coffee, fruits, textiles and clothing.

Duque has said he wants to increase oil production through technology such as fracking.

Duque has also spoken of promoting agribusiness, tourism and goods and services related to creativity, through the work of Colombian film directors, writers, musicians, video producers, actors and artists.

freedomnewsonline.com Duque was born in Bogotá, the son of Juliana Márquez Tono (political scientist) and the late Iván Duque Escobar (1937-2016). Duque Escobar, his father, served as auditor in the United Nations, governor of Antioquia, Minister of Mines and Energy, president of several companies, unions and public and private institutions, as well as the head of the National Registry of Civil Status during the Government of Andrés Pastrana. Duque’s siblings are Andrés and María Paula, with whom he has a close relationship.

Duque has a Law degree (JD) and a Major in Philosophy and Humanities from Sergio Arboleda University in Bogotá. He holds an LLM in International Economic Law from American University and a Master’s in Public Policy Management from Georgetown University, Washington D.C.. He began his professional career in 1999 as a consultant in the Andean Development Corporation (CAF) and later served as an advisor at the Colombian Ministry of Finance and Public Credit during the government of Andrés Pastrana (1998 - 2002).

but he emphasized that winning 8 million votes to Duque’s 10.3 million in the conservative country was a great achievement.

“What defeat? Eight million free Colombians taking a stand.

There is no defeat here. For now we won’t be the government,” he wrote on Twitter.

From Washington to Bogota The president-elect has spent most of his working life in the United States, working in the Inter-American Development Bank in Washington. He was chosen for a senate seat in 2014

by Uribe, a strong opponent to the peace deal.

Many of Duque’s supporters

The elections were the first to be held since a 2016 peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC).

Duque has followed in the steps of former president and current senator Alvaro Uribe. After voting for Duque and his vice presidential candidate Marta Lucia Ramirez on Sunday, Uribe said Duque was the best guarantee against Colombia falling victim to “destructive socialism,” referring to crisis-hit neighbor Venezuela.

Uribe himself came out of the election victorious, as his parliamentary bloc gained enough seats to become the most voted party and it is expected that he will support Duque in the legislative arena.

Congratulating Duque, former-guerrilla leader Rodrigo Londono said Colombians should work together because “the road of hope is open.”

COMING SOON...

Duque also served a period as international advisor of former President Álvaro Uribe Vélez. Between 2010 and 2011, he was a consultant at the United Nations (UN) in the Research Panel appointed by the Secretary-General for the Incident of the Gaza Flotilla that occurred on May 31st, 2010, between Israel and Turkey, known as Mavi Marmara.

8 Tips for Choosing Child Care

How to size up a child-care situation and pick the best one.

Whether you choose a formal child-care center, family day care, or in-home care, there are some basic things you should know and insist upon. To help you make this all-important decision, we’ve talked to mothers and other experts who have been in the child-care trenches. Here are eight ways to size up a child-care option: 1. Look down. When you’re visiting a potential site, pay attention to how the staff interacts with the children. Ideally, a caregiver should be on the floor playing with the kids or holding one on her lap. In their early years, babies need close, loving, interactive relationships with adults in order to thrive. That’s why it’s especially important that babies’ first caregivers be warm and responsive, and that even in group care, infants and older babies get a healthy dose of one-on-one time. (Though individual states set their own staffing ratios for child-care facilities, the American Academy of Pediatrics specifically recommends a ratio of one adult for every three babies up to 24 months of age.)

2. Ask for a commitment. Babies need consistent, predictable care.

It helps them to form a secure attachment to their caregivers, according to Debra K. Shatoff, a family therapist in private practice in St. Louis. If you’re looking at an in-home caregiver,

request that the person you’re considering make a one-year commitment to the job. If you’re considering a center, find out how long the current caregivers have been working there and how much turnover the center usually experiences.

3. Do a policy check. Find out whether you share parenting philosophies on topics such as discipline (Do the caregivers use time-outs, scoldings?); television (Is the TV on all day or used sparingly, if at all?); feeding (What snacks or drinks are provided for older babies?); sleeping (When are naps offered? How are fussy babies put to sleep?); and so forth. Inquire about the sick-child policy (What symptoms prevent a child from attending?). Also ask whether there’s a backup plan should the family day-care provider or in-home caregiver get sick and be unable to work.

The more questions you ask early on, the less likely you are to be unpleasantly surprised later.

4. Drop by and spy. While wordof-mouth referrals from other parents or trusted resources are important, you need to look at a place for yourself to assess whether it meets your needs. Of course, any child-care environment should be kept clean, childproofed, and well stocked with sturdy books and toys that are age-appropriate. Other details to consider: When older children

share the space, toys with small parts (choking hazards) should be kept away from younger babies. Ideally, infants and babies should have their own area where they won’t get “loved” too much by older toddlers. A room or separate area dedicated solely to swings and bouncers may look appealing at first glance, but keep in mind that growing babies need plenty of floor time to develop and strengthen their muscles. If possible, try to visit the same centers at different times of the day to get a sense of how the staff interacts with the

EDUCATION children and what the routine is. You may want to consider popping in unannounced a few times after you’ve enrolled your child, just to see how things are going. Sometimes your visits will confirm that the place is right for you, but sometimes they’ll be a real eye-opener.

5. Keep talking. Until your baby can talk, you will be relying on what the caregiver tells you about your child’s day. Make sure you can communicate comfortably with each other. When you first hand off your child in the morning, you should tell the caregiver how your little one slept the night before, if he is teething, and whether he ate breakfast. At the end of the day you’ll want to

Section A- 5 know similar information, such as the number of diapers he went through, when he napped, and if he seemed happy overall. It’s always preferable to speak to the caregiver in person. If that’s not possible, ask if there’s a convenient time to phone, perhaps at nap time.

6. Problem-solve pronto. It’s inevitable that you’ll experience conflicts with your caregiver, both large and small. Address problems right away rather than ignoring them until they grow out of proportion. Some issues can be resolved quickly; others may require more discussion.

Whatever the conflict, treat the caregiver Cont. on page A-6

Listen, I don´t have any money…

How many times have we said this to our children and even to ourselves? This is an irrational thought that sentences you to continue living that way. If you say that you do not have any money, you brain will immediately find in its environment any situation that reinforces that premise and continue to believe that.

Do you think it is possible to replace that thought before you translate it into words?

You can start by saying, I will buy this later o Do I really need this? And as you little by little start gaining more confidence on handling your finances, you can start by thinking “Wow, how about that, now that I am abundant I can save …” you fill in the blank.

Being abundant is not a question of having a lot of money or not, it is about recognizing all the things you have and not focus on the things you don´t have. This way of thinking will immediately change the way you fill about money and specially about yourself, because you will no longer feel empty,

EDUCATION

ENGLISH / SPANISH

but full of new acquirements in your life, like prosperity, status money and emotional situations as well that can also be achieved by having the right attitude.

When your brain has a different program inserted into it, like for example, the one I just mentioned, a new way of thinking about your finances, new things start to happen because you tell your brain that it is a new reality. It you want prosperity in your life and you start by thinking prosperously then your head will start finding opportunities to reinforce that thought. You see it is completely the contrary as in the first case. Maybe someone will call you for a job interview, maybe you´ll find that your next pay check was even higher than before. Things that you didn´t notice before because you were so submerged in feeling “devastated” because you didn´t enough money.

I suggest that it might be a great Idea if instead of looking at your pay check at the end of the month and paying all of your debt right away, how about you don’t?

Wait, not so fast…The first

thing is to save up a percentage of the money earned, doesn´t matter if it is 5% you´ll get used to the idea and learn to live with less, which at the end will become more. You just need to know how to invest that saving´s money later on.

This way your brain will start immediately start to think that you have so much money that you can even the habit of saving.

On the other hand, review what kind of messages you are sending out to your children, remember children don’t have their pre frontal cortex well developed and all the information enters directly, because you are the authority figure, and all that is told by you is completely assimilated as the truth and it goes directly to a subconscious level where as an adult they will act upon those undercover orders.

If you have any doubts, please don´t hesitate to contact me.

Best of luck!

in a respectful manner, but don’t be afraid to speak up, says Deborah Borchers, MD, a pediatrician in private practice in Cincinnati. When broaching a difficult subject, ask the caregiver’s opinion, and hear her out. As the parent, you have the final word with an in-home caregiver, but you’re more likely to elicit cooperation if the caregiver knows she has been heard. For example, instead of demanding an earlier nap time to make bedtime easier, ask the caregiver if she has ideas about how to adjust your baby’s schedule so he won’t grow so overtired in the evening.

7. Trust your gut. Every parent knows when something doesn’t feel quite right. You may be turned off by a center everyone in town raves about or clash with a highly recommended sitter. If that happens, keep searching. Babies deserve, and thrive under, good,

freedomnewsonline.com nurturing care. If something just doesn’t feel right about your situation, investigate other options.

8. Be open to change. You’re not married to a particular person or situation, and if things don’t work out, you can always make a switch. Yes, you want consistency for your baby, but that doesn’t mean you can’t alter arrangements.

Babies are resilient; as long as they’re having a positive experience with their new caregiver, they’ll be just fine, points out Dr. Shatoff.

No matter what your work hours, you are still your child’s essential caregiver -- the most consistent source of love and support in her life. Under your care and guidance, along with the help of your well-chosen caregivers, your baby will flourish and grow into a happy, healthy child.

—On average, during the past 30 years there have been more major hurricanes (those with winds of more than 110 mph), they have lasted longer and they produced more energy than the previous 30 years, according to an Associated Press analysis of storm data. Other studies have shown that the first named storm in the Atlantic forms nearly a month earlier than 30 years ago and storms are moving slower, allowing more rain to fall.

—Across the globe, seas have risen about 3 inches since 1993.

That doesn’t sound like much, but it is enough to cover the entire United States in water about 9 feet deep. Places like Miami Beach, Florida, and Norfolk, Virginia, flood frequently with high tides.

—The number of acres burned in the U.S. by wildfire has doubled compared with 30 years ago.

Last year, more than 10 million acres burned. Over the last five years, an average of 6.7 million acres burned a year. From 1984 to 1988, about 2.8 million years burned, on average.

—Allergies have gotten worse with longer growing seasons and more potent pollen. High ragweed pollen days have increased by between 15 and 29 days since 1990 in a swath of the country from Oklahoma City north to Winnipeg, Canada, according to a U.S. Department of Agriculture study.

—Extreme one-day rainfall across the nation has increased 80 percent over the past 30 years.

Ellicott City, Maryland, had so-called thousand-year floods in 2016 and this year. Flooding in Louisiana, West Virginia and Houston in 2016, South Carolina, Texas and Oklahoma in 2015, Michigan and parts of the Northeast in 2014 all caused more than $1 billion in damage, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

—The number of polar bears in parts of Alaska dropped 40 percent since the late 1990s.

When scientists have weighed polar bears recently in certain locations they were losing 2.9 to 5.5 pounds per day at a time of year when they were supposed to be putting on weight.

Facebook Is Changing.

What Does That Mean for Your News Feed?

Facebook has overhauled how it ranks the posts, videos and photos that appear in its users’ News Feeds, introducing major changes on Thursday designed to put what friends and family have to say first.

In short, you’ll see more posts from friends that have spurred lively debates in the comments. And you’ll see fewer cooking videos from brands and publications.

Prioritizing what your friends and family share is part of an effort by Facebook to help people spend time on the site in what it thinks is a more meaningful way.

Facebook is making the changes by

tinkering under the hood, reconfiguring its algorithms that guess what you may be most interested in.

Here’s what it means for you.

Publishers and brands are the losers.

Facebook is not being coy about this: Those third-party organizations that took over large swaths of your News Feed years ago — sites that post funny pictures and memes, sell you clothing, or deliver articles about the world — will have the visibility of their posts scaled back under the new arrangement.

In a post on the company’s blog Thursday, the head of its News Feed team, Adam Mosseri, wrote that showing more posts from friends and family “means we’ll show less public content, including videos and other posts from publishers or businesses.”

For many people, that news will come as a relief. In December, Facebook itself acknowledged that passive consumption of information — surfing shopping websites

freedomnewsonline.com or reading news articles like this one — is often bad for your mood.

(Sorry!)

It gestured toward a 2015 paper in the Journal of Experimental Psychology that showed that passive usage of the website, even for just 10 minutes a day, had a negative effect on students’ sense of well-being.

Those who still want to see posts from their favorite brands and trusted, wonderful publishers, one of whose articles you may be reading at this very moment, will be able to. The options under the News Feed tab on Facebook will allow users to prioritize the pages (and friends) whose posts they are most interested in.

And Mr. Mosseri explained that other posts that your Facebook connections find engaging will also rise to the top. Conversations stemming from live videos, celebrities’ posts, private groups and other highly interactive post types will be among those highlighted on the new News Feed.

Drowning: It Can Happen in an Instant

This article, from the National Safety Council has been selected by Dan Mullin, independent agent representing Aflac, to encourage a safe summer for all local families.

•Not including boating incidents, on average about nine people die from drowning every day in the United States, according to Injury Facts 2017 the annual statistical report on unintentional injuries produced by NSC. Teens and Young Adults Often Don’t Think About Safety When we think of water safety, we often think of the potential for young children to drown. But drowning also is a concern for teens and young adults. While drowning is more common for children 5 and younger, it’s the second leading cause of death for people age 5-24. According to NSC data, 737 people age 5 to 24 drowned in 2014.

Swimmers should keep a few safety precautions in mind: •Don’t go in the water unless you know how to swim; swim lessons are available for all ages •Never swim alone •Learn CPR and rescue techniques •Make sure the body of water matches your skill level; swimming in a pool is much different than swimming in a lake or river, where more strength is needed to handle currents

200 children ages 1 to 14 drowned in pools and spas during summer 2013. Bathtubs, toilets and even buckets also can pose a danger for very young children.

Distractions Make for Tragedies Parents are cautioned all the time about water safety, but drownings still occur. Always be aware and be in the present moment with your children. Following are a few water safety precautions: •Never leave your child alone; if you have to leave, take your child with you •Find age-appropriate swim lessons for your child, but keep in mind that lessons do not make your child “drown-proof” •Lifeguards aren’t babysitters; always keep your eyes on your child •Don’t let children play around drains and suction fittings •Never consume alcohol when operating a boat, and always make sure everyone is wearing U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets •Don’t underestimate the power of water; even rivers and lakes can have undertows •Always have a first aid kit and emergency contacts handy •Get training in CPR •If a child is missing, check the water first Every pool, every lake and every warm summer day holds the possibility of new, fun summer experiences. All you need to add is your undivided attention.

Heat Emergency activated for DC with temperatures soaring into the 90s WASHINGTON (ABC7) — A Heat Emergency has been activated in D.C. for Tuesday with temperatures expected to reach into the nineties with humidity levels making it feel more like we’re in the hundreds, the National Weather Service (NWS) announced.

The NWS gave the following tips to prevent dangerous situations during the extreme heat:

Stay indoors: find places in the shade or with air conditioning.

Visit a District cooling center.

Do not leave children or pets in vehicles: vehicles can reach dangerous temperatures within 10 minutes.

Drink plenty of fluids: increase your fluid intake but don’t drink liquids that contain alcohol, caffeine or large amounts of sugar.

Wear appropriate clothing and sunscreen: pick lightweight, loose fitting, light-colored clothing, and wide brimmed hats. SPF 15 or higher sunscreen is best.

Check on your neighbors: young children, the elderly, and those with access and functional needs are the most vulnerable in our community.

Tips on How to Maintain Your New Car

Simple tasks that can make your car last longer One of the reassuring qualities of contemporary cars is that they need much less-frequent service to keep them running well.

Changing the spark plugs, breaker points, and condenser used to be a seasonal exercise, and body rust was accepted as a normal if unfortunate hazard of aging.

Now many spark plugs can go 100,000 miles between changes.

Electronic ignition has done away with the points and condenser.

Chassis, suspensions, and even some transmissions are lubed for life. And factory rust-through warranties typically run six years or longer. What’s more, reliability has improved significantly. The result is that most late-model cars and trucks should be able to go 200,000 miles with regular upkeep.

Here are a few simple, periodic checks and procedures you can do that will help you get there.

Check the Engine Oil Do it regularly—monthly for a vehicle in good condition; more often if you notice an oil leak or find you need to add oil routinely. The car should be parked on level ground so you can get an accurate dipstick reading. Don’t overfill. And if you do have a leak, find and fix it soon.

Check Tire Air Pressure Once a month and before any extended road trips, use an accurate tire-pressure gauge to check the inflation pressure in each tire, including the spare. Do this when the tires are cold (before the vehicle has been driven or after no more than a couple of miles of driving). Use the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle’s manufacturer, not the maximum pressure embossed on the tire’s sidewall. The recommended pressure is usually found on a placard on a front doorjamb, in the glove compartment, or in the owner’s manual. Also be sure to inspect tires for abnormal or uneven wear, cuts, and any sidewall bulges you can see.

CR advises that digital tire-pres-

sure gauges (which cost about $15 to $25) are probably the best bet overall because they will give an accurate reading or none at all. Many pencil-type gauges (typically $10 to $15) are good as well. Note that to check the pressure in a temporary spare tire, which is often 60 psi, you will need a gauge that goes higher than that—say from 0 up to 90 pounds. (See our tire buying advice and Ratings.)

Wash the Car Try to wash the car every week, if you can. Wash the body and, if necessary, hose out the fender wells and undercarriage to remove dirt and road salt.

It’s time to wax the finish when water beads become larger than a quarter. (Read “How to Wash Your Car” and check our car wax ratings.)

Other Checks at Each Oil Change For normal driving, many automakers recommend changing the engine oil and filter every 7,500 miles or six months, whichever comes first. This is sufficient for the majority of motorists. For “severe” driving—with frequent, very cold starts and short trips, dusty conditions, or trailer towing—the change interval should be shortened to every 3,000 miles or three months. (Check your owner’s manual for the specific intervals recommended for your vehicle.) Special engines such as diesels and turbocharged engines may need more-frequent oil changes.

Check the Air Filter Remove the air-filter element and hold it up to a strong light. If you don’t see light, replace it. Regardless, follow the recommended service intervals.

Check the Constant-Velocity-Joint Boots On front-wheel-drive and some four-wheel-drive vehicles, examine these bellowslike rubber boots, also known as CV boots, on the drive axles. Immediately replace any that are cut, cracked,

or leaking. If dirt contaminates the CV joint it can quickly lead to an expensive fix.

Inspect the Exhaust System If you’re willing to make under-car inspections, check for rusted-through exhaust parts that need replacing. Also tighten loose clamps. Do this while the car is up on ramps. If a shop changes your oil, have them make these checks. Listen for changes in the exhaust sound while driving. It’s usually advisable to replace the

VEHICLES entire exhaust system all at once rather than to repair sections at different times.

Look at the Brakes For most people it makes sense to have a shop check and service the brakes. If you handle your own brake work, remove all wheels and examine the brake system.

Replace excessively worn pads or linings, and have badly scored rotors or drums machined or replaced. The brakes should be checked at least twice per year; more often if you drive a lot of miles.

Check the Fluids On many newer cars, the automatic transmission is sealed.

On cars where it is not sealed, check the transmission dipstick with the engine warmed up

freedomnewsonline.com and running (see the owner’s manual for details). Also check the power-steering-pump dipstick (it’s usually attached to the fluid-reservoir cap) and the level in the brake-fluid reservoir. If the brake-fluid level is low, top it up and have the system checked for leaks.

Clean the Radiator Prevent overheating by removing debris with a soft brush and washing the outside of the radiator with a detergent solution.

Check the Battery Inspect the battery’s terminals and cables to make sure they are securely attached, with no corrosion. If the battery has removable caps, check its fluid level every few months—especially in warmer climates. Consumer report

Heather Locklear’s friends and family ‘desperately’ tried to help actress before hospitalization

Melrose Place actress Heather Locklear was just hospitalized and sent for psychiatric evaluation after threatening to shoot herself.

Captain Garo Kuredjian with the Ventura County Sheriff ’s Office told Radar that deputies and Ventura County Fire officials responded to a medical call from her Thousand Oaks home.

“The patient required transport to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment,” Kuredjian said. “There was no criminal activity involved.”

Missguided’s New Campaign Stars Women of All Sizes, and None of It’s Retouched

We’re coming up on the end of 2017, and as we’re counting up the year’s wins and losses, one major silver lining is how much more inclusive advertising has become. Coming from brands like Wildfox, Nike, and a slew of other labels, now more than ever, we’re seeing ads that accurately reflect how all people look. The shift is coming through in small ways, too—Asos stopped Photoshopping out its models’ stretch marks, and last month people noticed that Missguided had followed suit. Now the brand is taking it a step further, with a campaign that’s one of the best things we’ve seen all year.

While there’s always a case for championing representation and calling attention to the change, Missguided didn’t create a lot of fanfare around its un-retouched e-commerce models. According to the brand, that was intentional: speaking to the brand’s no-airbrushing policy, its creative manager, Samantha Helligso, told The Daily Mail, “We’re on a mission to show our audience it’s okay to be yourself, embrace your ‘flaws,’ celebrate individuality, and not strive for what the world perceives as perfection. Because basically, it doesn’t exist. By showing imagery that’s real and authen-

tic, we want to show it’s more than okay to be yourself. All you have is what you’ve got, so own it every day.”

Missguided’s policy was met with an outpouring of support on social media, with just one main criticism: by and large, the models on its website were still lacking in size diversity. Now, Missguided’s new #MakeYourMark campaign is here, and it looks like the brand was listening to the feedback. Starring eight women of all sizes, skin tones, and styles, scrolling through the campaign page just makes you feel good. The models look genuinely happy, and above all, real. Interspersed throughout the spread, quotes from the models explain why the campaign is important to them.

The bottom line? “My favorite part of my body is genuinely my stretch marks, after years of hating them,” the quote reads. “Now I can actually see the beauty.”

she was acting erratic and looking for a gun to kill herself.

“Heather is still at the hospital and is still being held under a 5150,” a separate law enforcement source confirmed.

“She was determined to be a threat to herself and others. Even though she wasn’t placed under arrest, Heather was handcuffed while on the gurney being transported to the hospital. This is routinely done to maintain the safety of the individual on the 5150.”

Locklear’s recent outburst comes months after the actress, 56, threatened to shoot police officers if they ever returned

Now, one month later, she is back in the hospital.

Janet Jackson Is Receiving An Award For Her Contributions To The Music Industry & Making History In The Process

She’s an icon, an activist, and one of the undisputed queens of R&B. She’s been a major musical influence on legends spanning from Lil’ Kim to Lady Gaga, and on June 23, Janet Jackson will receive the first ever Impact Award at the 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards, according to a press release about the upcoming show.

Jackson will be honored at this year’s RDMAs “in recognition of [her] influence on society and the world of entertainment — particularly women — across generations of fans,” the press release notes. “[Jackson’s] music and artistry have opened doors through which other top artists have followed, [and] many acknowledging her impact on their musical perceptions.”

True, but “many” is kind of an understatement. The list of artists — both male and female, in music and otherwise — that have cited Jackson’s career as a paragon for their own is, well, lengthy.

She’s long-been a champion for women, particularly, in the entertainment industry, and used her acceptance speech for the Icon Award at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards to advocate for the #MeToo movement.

At the 2018 Billboard Music Awards, Jackson told the crowd, “I’m deeply humbled and grateful for this award. I believe that for all the challenges, all of our challenges, we live a great moment in history. It’s a moment that at long last women have made it clear that we will not be controlled, manipulated or abused. I stand with those women, and those men, equally outraged ... who support us in heart and mind.”

Her words make it clear why she deserves to be the first person honored with the Impact Award at the 2018 Radio Disney Music Awards.

México, EE. UU. y Canadá serán los anfitriones del Mundial de 2026

NOTICIAS que será de 32 días, debido a que se reduce el número de encuentros en la primera fase.

Frente a los 8 grupos de 4 equipos actuales, habrá 16 grupos de 3 equipos y los dos primeros se clasifican a dieciseisavos.

Partido inaugural en el Azteca, Rose Bowl o MetLife La propuesta norteamericana, con un proyecto de 16 sedes, ofrece 3 ciudades para albergar para el partido inaugural; Ciudad de México, Los Ángeles y Nueva York/New Jersey. En el caso de que sea México, el Azteca podría convertirse en el único campo que acoge tres partidos inaugurales en la historia.

La final en Estados Unidos: Los Ángeles, Nueva York o Denver

Norteamérica organizará el Mundial de 2026, el primero con 48 selecciones, tras triunfar la candidatura conjunta de México, Estados Unidos y Canadá sobre la de Marruecos, en el Congreso de la FIFA celebrado este miércoles en Moscú.

Norteamérica organizará el Mundial de 2026, el primero con 48 selecciones, tras triunfar la candidatura conjunta de México, Estados Unidos y Canadá sobre la de Marruecos, en el Congreso celebrado este miércoles en Moscú.

“Es una decisión sin precedentes porque es la primera vez que ese equipo de federaciones que forman la FIFA decide darle la oportunidad de esta magnitud a tres países y es también la primera vez que se toma la decisión de que ese torneo no tenga como ahora 32 equipos sino que va a tener 48 equipos. Y considerando que Canadá no es un país que se considere de primer orden en cuanto a lo futbolístico, pues para Canadá es un motivo de sentirse de plácemes” Freddy Vélez, director del diario en español Correo Canadiense de Toronto y gran aficionado de fútbol.

En la votación electrónica, la candidatura conjunta norteamericana obtuvo 134 votos, por 65

de Marruecos y una abstención contabilizada entre los votos válidos de los 203 miembros que pudieron ejercer su derecho, ya que Ghana no se presentó al Congreso y los cuatro implicados en la elección más Puerto Rico, Guam e Islas Vírgenes, bajo administración estadounidense, tampoco pudieron hacerlo.

El Mundial norteamericano se disputará por primera vez con 48 selecciones en vez de 32, lo que modifica los cupos por continentes. Europa tendrá 16 (frente a los 13 actuales), África 9 (5), Asia 8 (4), Sudamérica 6 (4), Norte y Centroamérica 6 (3) y Oceanía se asegura una plaza fija (0).

“El fútbol es el gran ganador hoy”, indicó Carlos Cordeiro, presidente de la Federación de Estados Unidos, que agradeció el “privilegio de organizar el Mundial de 2026”.

Las otras dos plazas salen de un torneo de repesca en el que participan seis selecciones, una por confederación a excepción de la UEFA y otra selección de la CONCACAF por ser los organizadores. Se juega a partido único y habrá dos cabezas de serie establecidos de acuerdo al ránking FIFA que pasan directamente a semifinales. Los ganadores de cada una de estas semifinales se clasifican al Mundial.

Así será el Mundial de 2026 Tres países organizadores Por primera vez, la organización del Mundial se reparte entre tres países aunque Estados Unidos alberga el 75 por ciento de los encuentros (60 partidos). La única experiencia previa de organización compartida fue en el Mundial de 2002, que se jugó en Corea del Sur y Japón.

48 selecciones y minitorneo de repesca

80 partidos, ronda de dieciseisavos y 32 días de competición Pese a que el número de partidos pasa de 64 a 80 y se implanta una ronda de dieciseisavos no aumenta la duración del torneo,

La candidatura presentó estas tres ciudades. De éstas, el Rose Bowl de Los Ángeles ya albergó una final, en 1994, cuando Brasil conquistó su cuarto título mundial.

Costes de 2.160 millones de dólares y beneficios de 14.300 millones El presupuesto expuesto por la candidatura estadounidense prevé unos costes de 2.160 millones de dólares y unos beneficios de 14.300 millones, casi el doble de lo que preveía Marruecos.

Section A- 13

Estados Unidos se ha postulado como el principal impulsor de la Copa del Mundo y es por ello que tendrá el mayor número de encuentros, 60 en total. Por su parte, México y Canadá tendrán 10 partidos cada uno, incluyendo fase de grupos y eliminatorias.

El ejercicio de votación no fue fácil porque es la primera vez que esta decisión no fue tomada por el Comité ejecutivo de la instancia, formado por unas 20 personas y convertido ahora en el Consejo de la FIFA, sino por las federaciones reunidas en el 68 Congreso de la organización.

Una decisión tomada para disipar las dudas de corrupción que planeaban sobre esta poderosa instancia del fútbol en la era de Sepp Blatter.

Gianni Infantino, elegido a la cabeza de la FIFA el 26 de febrero 2016, que se juega su reelección dentro de un año durante el congreso de París, se esfuerza en lavar la imagen de la organización después del escándalo de corrupción que provocó la caída de su antecesor.

La organización del Mundial de 2026 permitirá a Canadá participar por segunda vez a este torneo después de su primer Mundial en 1986, organizado por México, porque Colombia que había sido escogido como país anfitrión se desistió prácticamente a último momento en 1982

8 lecciones de Alex Ferguson para los negocios, según HBS

‘Sir’ Alex Ferguson, uno de los mejores directores técnicos en la historia del balompié, se ha convertido en un gurú En octubre del 2012, Anita Elberse, profesora en la Facultad de Administración de Negocios de Harvard Business School, publicó un extenso artículo en la revista Harvard Business Review, analizando la figura de Sir Alexander “Alex” Chapman Ferguson, a quien los expertos en temas de fútbol consideran uno de los mejores entrenadores en la historia de este deporte, ya que lideró el cuerpo técnico del Manchester United durante 26 temporadas y alcanzó 48 títulos antes de retirarse, en mayo del 2013, luego de convertir al equipo de Old Trafford en uno de los más importantes de Europa.

En su artículo, Elberse analiza el estilo de Ferguson y señala que el director técnico como líder se caracterizó por no perder el control ni dentro ni fuera de las canchas.

“Si el jugador violaba los estándares y normas establecidas, o se metía en líos, era sancionado; y si su actuación perjudicaba el desempeño del equipo, procuraba que abandonara el club, aunque fuese el mejor jugador”,

le dijo Ferguson. Más que facilitarles habilidades técnicas, explica Elberse, él trataba de inspirarlos para que lucharan por ser mejores y no darse por vencidos nunca. Hoy, tras haber escrito cinco libros, entre los que figura “Managing My Life” (1999) y “Leading” (2013), se estima que ACF (Alexander Chapman Ferguson) Sports Promotion, empresa que lidera para administrar sus apariciones públicas, genera ingresos por más de seis millones de dólares cada año, producto de sus conferencias, libros y cátedras en Harvard.

Precisamente, en esta escuela de negocios, Ferguson encabeza –por lo menos hasta antes de haber entrado recientemente al área de cuidados intensivos de un hospital debido a un derrame cerebral– un programa dentro de la división Executive Education de la prestigiosa escuela. Gracias al artículo que escribió Elberse, así como al trabajo que hizo ella al identificar entre las enseñanzas del ex líder del Manchester una metod-

ología replicable, Ferguson se desempeña desde el 2013 como docente en el curso Negocios de Entretenimiento, Medios y Deportes. Para Elberse, más que un entrenador, Ferguson ha sido un gestor del cambio, un líder que comprendió tempranamente que para triunfar no existía otra vía que el constante cambio.

8 LECCIONES DE FERGUSON SEGÚN HBS Para Anita Elberse, existen ocho lecciones de liderazgo que Ferguson aplicó durante sus años como DT del Manchester United, que se pueden aplicar en el mundo de los negocios.

1. Comenzar con la base. Cuando Ferguson llegó al equipo, en 1986, buscó a sus potenciales fuera de la liga de mayores, principalmente aquellos con la edad promedio de nueve años, como David Beckham. Ferguson construyó desde abajo hacia arriba. A su entender, el trabajo en equipo surge con los años, gracias a la fluidez y continuidad, produciendo un vínculo que, a su vez, crea un espíritu.

FINANZAS 2. Reconstruir tu equipo. Ferguson a menudo echó jugadores, incluidos aquellos que más apreciaba. Según Ferguson dejó ir a Beckham en 2003, luego de que su fama fuera del campo comenzara a eclipsar su carrera.

El objetivo era evolucionar gradualmente, reemplazando a jugadores mayores con jugadores más jóvenes. Se trataba principalmente de refrescar el equipo, dejando a un lado las individualidades.

3. Establecer estándares altos. El director inglés dividió su labor técnica en dos partes. Por un lado, estaba el trabajo en el campo de juego, diseñando estrategias innovadoras para vencer a los rivales. Pero, por otro lado, dedicó gran parte de su tiempo al trabajo psicológico con los jugadores, preparando sus mentes para ser lo que él llamó “malos perdedores”, jugadores capaces de darlo todo en la cancha por ganar.

4. No ceder el control. A Ferguson no le temblaba la mano. Si los jugadores se metían en problemas, los despedía. En 2005, después de que el capitán Roy Keane criticara públicamente a sus compañeros de equipo, Ferguson dio por terminado su contrato. Al año siguiente, el máximo anotador del equipo, Ruud van Nistelrooy, mostró su disgusto por ser enviado a la banca y Ferguson lo vendió al Real Madrid.

5. Coherencia entre el mensaje y el momento. Ferguson buscaba los momentos más oportunos para hacerles notar sus defectos al equipo. A veces lo hacía en el medio tiempo, dependiendo de cómo iba el marcador, otras veces esperaba hasta el final del partido. Para este DT, el líder debe ser estratégico hasta en los momentos en los que se va a dirigir a las personas, para que el mensaje provoque el impacto que busca.

6. Prepararse para ganar. Su equipo era conocido por anotar goles a pocos minutos del final

Section A- 15 de los partidos. Según Ferguson, eso obedecía a una estrategia: faltando 15 minutos, aún si perdían, se arriesgaban más, sumando un atacante adicional y preocupándose menos por la defensa. Para él, si perdían, no iba a cambiar el marcador, pero, si ganaban creyendo estar derrotados, era como una doble victoria.

7. El poder de la observación.

Desde que empezó como entrenador del equipo escocés East Stirlingshire, pasando por el St. Mirren y el FC Aberdeen, hasta llegar al Manchester United, Ferguson delegaba cada vez más las sesiones de entrenamiento a entrenadores asistentes, para observar cualquier “caída en el entusiasmo” de los jugadores.

Para él, la capacidad de comprender a los jugadores es vital.

8. Nunca dejar de adaptarse. A medida que el juego cambiaba, Ferguson trajo un equipo de científicos deportivos. Puso puestos de vitamina D en el vestuario para compensar el clima sombrío de Manchester, usó chalecos equipados con sensores de GPS para analizar el rendimiento, contrató a un optometrista y un instructor de yoga y construyó una instalación médica en el campo de entrenamiento.

Hoy, a sus 76 años, el ex hombre fuerte de Old Trafford vive lejos de los campos de fútbol, pero sus lecciones han sido aprovechadas por otros directores técnicos, como el mismo Ricardo Gareca, quien afirmó en 2011 que le gustaría ser el “Ferguson de Liniers”, durante su paso por el equipo Vélez Sarsfield, cuyo estadio queda aún en el barrio de Liniers, en el extremo oeste de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, refiriéndose que le gustaría quedarse 25 años dirigiendo el equipo, tal como Ferguson en el Manchester.

Pero, al mismo tiempo, gracias a sus cátedras, hombres de negocio han descubierto nuevos enfoques a la hora de dirigir a sus equipos.

5 avances clave de la educación en América Latina y el Caribe deben realizarse esfuerzos para mejorar la asistencia en preescolar y secundaria.

Avance 2: Algunos países mejoraron sus niveles de aprendizaje en la prueba PISA

La historia que los datos educativos de la región muestran la podemos contar en 5 grandes avances que revelan logros, pero también desafíos: Avance 1: Más niños asisten a la escuela en los tres niveles: preescolar, primaria y secundaria

Para el grupo de niños entre 6 a 14 años, se ha logrado una cobertura casi universal en la región, llegando a más del 95% en 2015. Sin embargo, el éxito ha sido más modesto para los niños de 4 a 5 años y los jóvenes de 15 a 17 años. En 2015, la tasa de asistencia para ambos grupos rondó el 80%, lo cual indica que

Perú y Colombia mejoraron sus resultados en matemáticas, ciencias y lectura en PISA 2015.

Además, junto a Trinidad y Tobago, estos tres países de la región se encuentran entre los 10 países a nivel global con mayor ritmo de mejora en ciencia.

En la región, no obstante, los resultados de las pruebas revelan que 6 de cada 10 estudiantes de 15 años no saben usar fórmulas matemáticas básicas ni procedimientos o reglas para resolver problemas con números enteros.

EDUCACION Avance 3: Casi todos los estudiantes tienen acceso a una computadora en su centro educativo Gracias a los esfuerzos sostenidos de los países de la región para cerrar la brecha digital en las escuelas, el número de estudiantes de 15 años por computadora pasó de 16 estudiantes por equipo en 2009 a 14 en 2015. Sin embargo, el acceso a las computadoras sigue siendo desigual: en establecimientos de gestión pública hay 1 computadora por cada 16 estudiantes, mientras que la cifra es de 1 computadora por cada 7 estudiantes en centros de educación privada.

Avance 4: Los países de la región invierten cada vez más en educación El gasto público como porcentaje del PIB pasó de 4.2% en 2005 a 5.9% en 2014. A pesar de esto, la brecha en el gasto público por alumno entre los países de la

freedomnewsonline.com

región sigue siendo amplia: Costa Rica y Jamaica, los países que reportaron el mayor porcentaje de gasto público por alumno en 2014, gastan en primaria y secundaria el doble que Perú y en secundaria cuatro veces más que Ecuador, siendo estos los países que menos recursos invierten.

Avance 5: Hoy se gradúan más estudiantes de secundaria en América Latina y el Caribe que hace 10 años La tasa promedio de graduación aumentó de 68% a 78% en primaria, de 51% a 60% en secundaria baja y de 33% a 42% en secundaria alta entre 2006 y 2015. Sin embargo, la condición socioeconómica de los estudiantes continúa siendo un factor determinante para graduarse: 6 de cada 10 de los estudiantes más ricos en 2015 se graduaron de secundaria alta pero solo 2 de cada 10 de los estudiantes más pobres concluyeron este ciclo.

Pasos a tener en cuenta para hacer proyecciones financieras

Las proyecciones financieras nos permiten tener un control sobre todos los rubros de una empresa, de esta forma podemos identificar el desempeño de cada área y reconocer lo que se debe mejorar, así mismo nos refleja un panorama de la empresa donde podremos estar preparados para cualquier situación.

A continuación presento unos pasos esenciales para tener en cuenta al momento de hacer la proyección financiera de tu empresa.

1. Conoce tu empresa En este punto es fundamental identificar el mercado en el que se ubica tu empresa, para así analizarlo y determinar las oportunidades que tienes y tendrás en este.

Un análisis DOFA (debilidades, oportunidades, fortalezas y amenazas) de tu empresa te permitirá identificar la situación en la que se encuentra tanto internamente como en el mercado.

2. Define el tiempo de proyección Las proyecciones financieras se pueden elaborar de forma mensual, trimestral, semestral o anual; muchas empresas deciden elaborarla a 5 años, pero esto depende de cómo funcione, es recomendable realizar proyecciones mensuales a fin de evaluar

las metas de la empresa periódicamente.

Así podrás identificar si estas cumpliendo con los objetivos propuestos y si tu negocio está alineado con las metas a corto plazo que te permitirá alcanzar las metas de largo plazo.

3. Analiza tu situación Si la proyección financiera es para un nuevo producto o servicio, debes definir el precio del producto o servicio y los costos de operación en los que debes implicar para ponerlo en el mercado.

Si tu empresa ya está en marcha debes basarte en la información real proporcionada en los últimos estados financieros.

4. Establece las premisas de proyección Define cuánto puedes incrementar las cifras y a cuántos años, en cada periodo es importante hacer los ajustes necesarios de acuerdo con las decisiones importantes que se tomen en la empresa, como compra de activos, adquisición de un crédito, nuevas contrataciones, incremento de la producción entre otros.

5. Elabora un estado de resultados En este punto se deben reflejar los ingresos, gastos y costos de la empresa. Revisa históricamente cómo has estado para que

FINANZAS proyectes cómo quieres estar y a dónde quieres llegar.

Aprende de finanzas personales en 5 pasos

6. Evalúa el histórico de tus ventas Determina los costos en los que tuviste que incurrir con relación a las ventas de la empresa, ten presente si en el último periodo se presentó algún factor que pudiera afectar este indicador.

1. Agenda citas de dinero semanales Los millonarios gastan, en promedio, 8.4 horas al mes en planear y administrar sus finanzas, de acuerdo con el investigador Thomas Stanley. Aunque muchas personas quieren ser millonarias, la mayoría no usa el tiempo y energía necesarios para que suceda. Así que no cometas ese error.

7. Realiza una proyección de ventas Aquí es importante reconocer los diferentes factores que influyen y responder a estas preguntas básicas: ¿en qué cantidades se vende mi producto o servicio?, ¿cuántos clientes tengo? y ¿cuál es el precio de mi producto o servicio?

En lugar, establece un evento recurrente en tu calendario para tener una cita de dinero y dedicarle al menos una hora a la semana. Durante ésta, debes actualizar tu presupuesto, revisar los gastos venideros, pagar cuentas, revisar tus estados de cuenta y controlar otros asuntos financieros. Cuanto más divertido sea, más probable es que lo sigas haciendo.

8. Elaborar un balance general Determinadas las cifras del estado de resultados se procede a elaborar el balance general donde se representan los activos y pasivos de la empresa.

Se debe tener presente que las cantidades proyectadas deben coincidir con los rubros del balance, es decir si tu proyección es anual y aumentan las ventas debes proyectar que aumentarán las cuentas por cobrar, el número de clientes y probablemente necesitarás financiamiento para incrementar esas ventas.

2. Dedica 20 minutos al mes para leer sobre finanzas personales No trates de entender todo sobre finanzas en una misma tarde. Mejor parte tu educación financiera en trozos más digeribles. Dedica 20 minutos a la semana (además de tu cita de dinero) y lee artículos o libros de temas relacionados a las finanzas personales. Elige un tema a la semana y lee sobre él hasta que lo entiendas.

9. Proyecta tu flujo de efectivo Con el estado de resultados y el balance general, elabora una proyección con base en el efectivo, este te permitirá conocer tu liquidez.

Si el resultado es positivo tu empresa es rentable si no, debes replantear los escenarios de tu empresa. Recuerda que el flujo de efectivo es fundamental para determinar si te va a faltar o sobrar dinero y así definir cuáles podrían ser tus estrategias de crecimiento.

3. Habla con personas que admiras Conforme empiezas a aprender sobre temas de finanzas como gastos, ahorros, crédito, deuda, inversiones y estrategias de retiro, aplica lo que aprendes hablando con alguien a quien admiras. Generalmente hay muchas personas que

hablan sobre dinero, pero la mayoría de las nociones financieras de la familia y amigos son incorrectas.

En lugar, habla con mentores y otros emprendedores que sean exitosos en su vida financiera. Pregúntales acerca de sus éxitos y fracasos. Al igual que en los negocios, he descubierto que puedo evitar muchos errores si aprendo de los de los demás. También ten en mente que hablar de dinero sigue siendo un tema sensible para muchos, así que empieza pequeño y ve profundizando.

Sé respetuoso con lo que las personas comparten contigo y siempre agradéceles su consejo.

4. Prueba las estrategias en tu propia vida Muchos emprendedores saben que la mejor manera de aprender si una idea funcionará o no es probándola.

Esta misma filosofía es aplicable en tus finanzas personales. Constantemente les recuerdo a mis clientes que las estrategias financieras funcionan mejor para algunos que para otros.

5. Contrata a un asesor profesional A veces necesitamos la ayuda de un profesional. Tú la requieres si: - Tienes poca o nula experiencia en planeación financiera - No quieres hacer todo por ti mismo - No tienes una opinión imparcial - Tienes una situación financiera compleja - No tienes tiempo para hacerlo Entrepeneur

Elecciones en Colombia: Iván Duque será presidente tras derrotar a Gustavo Petro

Colombia ya sabe quién será su próximo presidente: Iván Duque.

Se trata del candidato del partido uribista Centro Democrático, quien se impuso este domingo con un apoyo sin precedentes en la segunda vuelta de las elecciones contra Gustavo Petro.

Según datos de la Registraduría Nacional y con el 99,92 % de las mesas contabilizadas, Iván Duque obtuvo el 53,98% de los votos frente al 41,81% logrado por Gustavo Petro.

Por qué en Colombia se preguntan si el futuro presidente Iván Duque será un “títere de Álvaro Uribe” El aspirante del Centro Democrático consiguió más de 10,3 millones de votos mientras que su rival, postulado por el movimiento Colombia Humana, logró algo más de ocho millones.

Tras conocerse los resultados, Petro publicó un mensaje en Twitter en el que reivindicaba el valor de la votación obtenida, aunque reconocía que “por ahora” no podrá llegar al poder.

En su primer discurso tras conocerse los resultados electorales, Iván Duque hizo un llamado a la unidad de todos los colombianos.

“Voy a entregar todas mis

energías en unir al país. No más divisiones. Hoy no hay ciudadanos vencidos”, dijo.

“Esta es la oportunidad que esperábamos para pasar la página de la polarización. No voy a gobernar con odios”, agregó.

Iván Duque y Marta Lucía Ramírez.Duque gobernará junto a Marta Lucía Ramírez, quien será la primera mujer en ocupar la vicepresidencia de Colombia.

En relación con el proceso de paz negociado con la guerrilla de las FARC por el presidente saliente, Juan Manuel Santos, Duque aseguró que es necesario superar la fractura existente entre amigos y enemigos de la paz porque ese es un anhelo de los colombianos.

“Hoy somos todos amigos de construir la paz y debe ser una paz que, ante todo, preserve ese deseo de permitirle a la base guerrillera su desmovilización efectiva”, señaló.

Indicó que los acuerdos requieren “correcciones” para poner a las víctimas en el centro del proceso.

El presidente electo dijo que buscará recuperar la seguridad en el país de la mano de la justicia. “Seguridad no es violencia”, afirmó Duque, quien asumirá su cargo el próximo 7 de agosto.

Entre sus objetivos incluyó también la derrota de la extrema pobreza, la aprobación de una reforma tributaria y hacer de Colombia un país de emprendimiento y de desarrollo con sostenibilidad ambiental.

Duque aseguró que gobernará con transparencia y eficacia para recuperar la confianza de los ciudadanos en las instituciones.

“Nuestra bandera será la lucha frontal contra la corrupción, la politiquería y el clientelismo”, apuntó.

El mandatario electo agradeció el apoyo recibido por distintas organizaciones y personalidades, incluidos los expresidentes Álvaro Uribe y Andrés Pastrana, y anunció que conformará un gabinete en el que la participación de las mujeres será del 50%.

“El objetivo nuestro no es llegar a la presidencia sino la transformación de Colombia en ese país próspero que tanto añoramos”, afirmó.

Las FARC dispuestas a dialogar Poco después del discurso de Duque, la Fuerza Alternativa Revolucionaria del Común, el partido político creado por los exintegrantes de la guerrilla de las FARC, emitió un comunicado en el que manifestaron su disposición a reunirse con el mandatario electo para exponerle sus puntos de vista sobre los acuerdos de paz.

“Solamente esa unidad, transformada en organización y movilización, podrá detener la tentación de los sectores más retardatarios de la política nacional, de profundizar los odios y las diferencias de todo tipo, con el único fin de perpetuar sus privilegios”, señalaron en el texto.

Por su parte, Rodrigo Londoño, el exjefe del grupo guerrillero

NEGOCIOS y actual presidente del partido FARC, destacó en su cuenta de Twitter que las elecciones de este domingo habían sido las más tranquilas de las últimas décadas, algo que atribuyó al proceso de paz.

“Es momento de la grandeza y la reconciliación, respetamos la decisión de las mayorías y felicitamos al nuevo presidente.

Ahora a trabajar, los caminos de la esperanza están abiertos”, señaló.

“Somos la oposición” El candidato del movimiento Colombia Humana, Gustavo Petro, ofreció un discurso ante sus seguidores, a quienes agradeció su apoyo calificándolos como “ocho millones de colombianos y colombianas orgullosamente libres”.

Petro anunció que encabezará la oposición desde el Senado.

“Yo no me siento, la verdad, derrotado”, dijo poco antes de reconocer el triunfo de Duque.

“Aceptamos su triunfo. Es el presidente de la República de Colombia. Hoy somos la oposición a ese gobierno”.

Petro hizo un llamado a sus seguidores a abandonar la tristeza y se propuso como objetivo consolidar el movimiento de Colombia Humana.

“Nos ganaron diciendo mentiras”, afirmó el candidato que durante la campaña fue acusado insistentemente de seguir el “modelo venezolano”.

Anunció que aceptará incorporarse al Senado a una curul que la normativa colombiana le otorga a los candidatos a presidente y vicepresidente que alcanzan el segundo lugar en los comicios.

“Al Senado de la República vamos a volver para dirigirnos desde ahí al país, para recorrer una y otra vez las plazas públicas”, señaló al tiempo que invitó a sus seguidores a mantenerse permanentemente movilizados BBC News

La ciencia lo dice: Este será el equipo campeón del Mundial Rusia 2018

freedomnewsonline.com je automático con estadística es conocido como random forests o en español bosques aleatorios. Este funciona basado en un árbol de decisión, el cual es un modelo predictivo que funciona mediante el cálculo de todos los posible resultados que pueden darse en todos los partidos, lo cual da como resultado el desenlace más probable del torneo.

En este caso, se realizaron 100, simulaciones del Mundial, lo cual da con gran precisión una orientación de lo que puede ocurrir en los siguientes días.

Entre las variables analizadas por este modelo se encuentran el puesto que ocupa cada selección en el ránking de FIFA, resultados en Copas del Mundo anteriores, media de edad de los jugadores, si tienen experiencia en torneos internacionales, así como el producto interno bruto de los países que compiten en el Mundial.

Este martes concluye la primera fecha de la fase de grupos del Mundial de Rusia 2018 y ya hemos sido testigos de grandes sorpresas, quizá siendo el triunfo de México sobre Alemania lo que más ha llamado la atención en lo que va del campeonato.

Pero también hemos visto cómo algunos otros equipos que llegaron con la etiqueta de favoritos a Rusia 2018 no han demostrado ser tan poderosos como los demás los ven, y también hay otros conjuntos que han iniciado con el pie derecho su camino en

el Mundial.

La fiebre mundialista se extiende por todo el mundo, en todos los sentidos y ámbitos, incluido el de la ciencia, ya que un grupo de expertos en estadística de la Universidad Técnica de Dortmund, en Alemania, han creado un algortimo que combina aprendizaje automático y datos estadísticos para así dar un pronóstico sobre qué equipo saldrá campeón.

Andreas Groll, quien es el director de este proyecto, explicó que de acuerdo a un análisis previo

de los posibles cruces en octavos de final, así como la estructura de competición, España es el equipo con mayor probabilidad de alzarse con la copa (17,8%).

Sin embargo, la cosa cambia si Alemania también llega a cuartos de final, pues ambas selecciones tendrían las mismas posibilidades de ganar, aunque los teutones se ponen un paso adelante de la “Furia Roja”. ¿Cómo se logró hacer este pronóstico científico?

Este sistema de análisis estadístico que mezcla aprendiza-

Entre las variables que incluyeron en su modelo, figuran el puesto que ocupa cada selección mundialista en el ranking de la FIFA, los resultados de sus anteriores Copas del Mundo, las características de los equipos (por ejemplo, la media de edad de sus jugadores, si tienen experiencia en torneos internacionales como la Champions…) e incluso el producto interior bruto de los países participantes.

La Opinion

Cristiano ejecutó exquisitamente un tiro libre con el que completó su triplete en el empate de Portugal ante España. El astro del Real Madrid es famoso por entrenar el cobro de faltas durante horas, con su reconocida postura desde todos los ángulos para estar listo cuando el momento así lo requiere.
