Year aer year we agonize over which e,pair of socks or cologne to buy and giveto the father, fathers or father-figure inour lives. Perhaps this year you will takecomfort from the fact that Americansarent the only ones who must endurethe torment and insecurity of picking outthe perfect gi: most Spanish-speakingcountries must do it as well!

Fathers Day (El Da de Los Padres) Dates inSpanish-Speaking Countries

Country DateBelize Third Sunday in JuneCosta Rica Third Sunday in JuneEl Salvador June 17thGuatemal June 17thHonduras March 19thNicaragua June 23rdPanama Third Sunday in JuneArgenna Third Sunday in JuneBolivia March 19thChile Third Sunday in JuneColombia Third Sunday in JuneEcuador Third Sunday in June

Paraguay Third Sunday in JunePeru Third Sunday in JuneUruguay July 19thVenezuela Third Sunday in JuneMexicoThird Sunday in JunePuerto Rico Third Sunday in June

The majority of the Spanish-speakingcountries featured above share the sameFathers Day date as the U.S.the thirdSunday of June. But while Fathers Dayis an official holiday in the United States,

for many of the these Spanish-speakingcountries (Mexico and Costa Rica amongthem) Fathers Day is an unofficial holiday.Nevertheless, it is celebrated with the samefervor. I guess fathers in both the UnitedStates and Spanish-speaking countries aregreat pretenders: they always make usbelieve that what we buy them, howeverbanal and boring it may be, is their favorite.Happy Fathers Day! or Feliz Da del Padre!

IMAGINANDO TU PROPIO LIBROEn la casa de mis padres hay cuatro libros muy grandes y pesados, que ellos compraron hacemuchos aos. Tanto empo atrs, que cuando ellos decidieron comprarlos, un vendedor delibros, que iba de casa en casa se los vendi. Lo que mis padres compraron fueron cuatro tomos

de un diccionario. Qu loco, un vendedor de libros ambulante!.

Sabas que con los diccionarios t puedes aprender palabras nuevas, conocer el universo, los animales,las plantas, los ros, los mares y muchas cosas mas?

Hoy te propongo que con tu imaginacin hagas tu pequeo diccionario.

Pero antes de comenzar nuestra aventura y de crear tu propio libro, recuerda que tenemos que hacer varias cosas. Porejemplo pedir a una persona mayor que lea esto para o que te ayude a leerlo. Y cuando termines, t sers el autor de un nico ymaravilloso libro. Tu propio diccionario !

Para ayudarte con tu imaginacin, yo he creado este pequeo cuento.

Comenzamos?

La graduacin del diccionario Laura y Gabriel estn muy ocupados preparando la fiesta de graduacin de sus juguetes y sus libros que ser el prximo domingo.

Solamente faltan tres das para la fiesta, as que hoy, estn todos juntos praccando para la ceremonia: el robot, el oso de peluche, los camiones (truck), los libros de hadas y de lsper hroes, las muecas y los dinosaurios.

Cada uno de ellos recibir un diploma especial, por ser tan buenos juguetes y amigos de los nios.

Todos estn tan emocionados, que hablan al mismo empo y hay tanto ruido que ninguno de ellos puede escuchar un pequeo llanto, que proviene de un rincn oscuro. El llantse hace cada vez mas fuerte, hasta que el dinosaurio (dinosaur) le pide a los dems juguetes y libros que por favor hagan silencio. Ahora todos pueden escuchar que hay alguiellorando.

Cada uno comienza a buscar de donde viene ese llanto y al fin, Laura, encuentra un diccionario para nios llorando.

Un diccionario llorando? El diccionario ( diconary) le dice a todos, que l est muy triste porque nadie lo ha invitado a la fiesta de graduacin, porque haba perdido algunpginas y ya nadie se acordaba de que l exisa.

Los juguetes no saben muy bien para qu sirve un diccionario. As que Laura y Gabriel les explicaron, que sin un diccionario, es muy dicil aprender; que todas las palabras estordenadas de la A a la Z y que de esta manera se puede aprender sobre las ciencias, el lenguaje, los juegos, los animales, el universo, todo lo que se te ocurra !

Ahora tenan que resolver, como ayudaran al pequeo diccionario. Laura sera la encargada de hacer los dibujos para las nuevas palabras, Gabriel las escribira, el dinosaurio yoso de peluche ayudaran con las palabras de animales, el robot con las de las ciencias, los camiones con las de mecnica (mechanical), los sper hroes con las del universo, lmuecas con las de los juegos, y las hadas con las de la imaginacin.

Todos haban compardo su empo y su conocimiento para que el diccionario tambin pudiera ser parte de la fiesta de graduacin.

Al final la ceremonia fue muy hermosa, especialmente para el diccionario, que ahora volva a ser parte de los juegos de los nios.

1 - Recuerda el cuento. Despus, escribe V ( verdadero) o F (falso), segn corresponda.

- Laura y Gabriel son los padres.- Los juguetes y los libros van a recibir un diploma.- Entre los juguetes hay una plancha y una escoba.- El diccionario no est llorando.- Todos colaboraron para terminar las hojas del diccionario.- La fiesta de graduacin ser el domingo.

2 - Te animas a hacer tu propio diccionario? Con tu propio vocabulario, y con unmximo de diez pginas, crea tu propio diccionario y luego ilstralo. Por ejemplopuede ser un diccionario solamente de animales, de flores o del universo.

3 - En la escuela, pregunta a la bibliotecaria que te muestre los diferentes pos dediccionarios que hay en la biblioteca. Luego, haz una lista con todos los pos dediccionarios que hay all. Te aseguro que te sorprenders!

4 - Busca en la sopa de letras estas palabras en forma alfabca y luego haz oracionescon ellas. No te preocupes si las oraciones son largas o cortas, lo importante es que lointentes.

Marcelas Kids CornerPor Marcela Villareal

IMAGINING YOUR OWN BOOKIn my parents house, there are four very large and heavy books that they bought many years ago. Solong ago that when they decided to buy them, a bookseller who was going house to house, soldthem to them. What my parents bought were four tomes of a diconary. How crazy does thatsound, a bookseller who sells books on foot!

Did you know that with diconaries you can learn new words, get to know the universe, animals,plants, rivers, seas, and many other things?

Today, I would like to propose to you the idea of making your own lile diconary with the help of yourimaginaon.

But before starng our adventure and creang your own book, remember that we have to do various things. For example, askingsomeone older than you to read this over or to help you read it. And when you finish, you will be the author of a unique andmarvelous book. Your own diconary!

In order to help you with your imaginaon, I have created this Lile story.Shall we begin?

The Dictionarys GraduationLaura and Gabriel are very busy preparing the graduaon party of their toys and books that will be next Sunday.

There are only three more days to go unl the party, so today, all of them are together praccing for the ceremony: the robot, the plush bear, the trucks (camiones), the books abofairies and superheros, the dolls and the dinosaurs.

Each one of them will receive a special diploma for being such good toys and f riends to the children.

They are all so excited that they are talking at the same me and there is so much noise that none of them can hear a lile bit of crying that is coming from a dark corner. The cryingrows stronger all the me, unl the dinosaur asks the other toys and books please to be silent. Now all can hear that there is someone crying.

Each one starts looking for where that crying can be coming from and finally, Laura finds a diconary for children that is crying.

A diconary crying? The diconary tells everyone that he is sad because no one has invited him to the party because he had lost a few pages and no one even remembered thhe existed.

The toys dont know very well what a diconary (diccionario) even does. So Laura and Gabriel explained to them that without a diconary, its very hard to learn; that all the wordare in order there from A to Z, and in this way one can learn about different sciences, language, games, animals, the universe, any and everything you can think of!

Now they had to solve the queson of how to help the lile diconary. Laura would be in charge of making the pictures for new words. Gabriel would write them, the dinosa(dinosaurio) and the plush bear would help with the words of animals, the robot with those of sciences, the trucks with the mechanical (mecnica) things, the superheros with twords about the universe, the dolls with the words pertaining to games, and the fairies with the words of imaginaon.

Everyone had shared his or her me and knowledge so that the diconary could also be part of the graduaon party.

At the end, the ceremony was very beauful, especially for the diconary that now would once again be part of the games children play.

1- Remember the story. Aerwards, write true or false (T or F) according to the howthe following match up:

- Laura and Gabriel are the parents- The toys and books are going to receive a diploma- Among the toys there is an iron and a broom.- The diconary is not crying

- Everyone worked together to finish the pages of the diconary.- The graduaon party will be on Sunday.

2 - Are you excited to make your own diconary? With your own vocabulary, and with amaximum of ten pages, create your own diconary, and then illustrate it. For example,it can be a diconary only of animals, offlowers, or of the universe.

3 - In school, ask the librarian to show you different types of diconaries that there arein the library. Then, make a list of all the different types of diconaries that there arethere. I assure you, you will be surprised!

5 - Look in the leer soup or word-search these words in an alphabec order andmake sentences with them. Dont worry if the sentences are long or short. Theimportant thing is that you try.

Alrededor de 4millones de personas en Amrica viven conlas secuelas que deja un derrame cerebral.Una persona de nuestra comunidad quese rehabilit de un derrame cerebral esSoraida Resto; ella sufri un derrameque ocurri como consecuencia de unacondicin llamada hidrocefalia.Cuando un aneurisma ocurre (en elcaso de Soraida) trae como resultadosangramiento, la sangre puede bloquear lacirculacin del fluido que rodea el cerebroy la espina dorsal (fluido cerebroespinal),esto puede conllevar a una condicinconocida como hidrocefalia que es elexceso de fluido cerebroespinal el cualincrementa la presin en el cerebro y daalos tejidos del mismo. Un derrame de estepo puede conducir a la muerte, tambinafecta las habilidades motoras y cognivasdel paciente.

Durante la primera visita de fisioterapia, laSeora Resto estaba muy dbil, confundiday desbalanceada. Soraida apenas podapararse derecha o mantenerse en piepor ms de cinco segundos.

Derrame Cerebral o Apopleja

Lets Talk About Stroke!By Deysi Reagan, Translator/Interpreterand Clinical Support at HCR Home Care

Whether you know it or not, strokes occurin this country more oen than you maythink; affecng not only the individualsrecovering but their loved ones andcaregivers as well. Every year more than150,000 American Adults die from a stroke;it is the third leading cause of death in theUS. About four million people live with the

aer effects of stroke in our country. Onelocal individual recovering from strokeis Soraida Resto; her stroke happenedas a consequence of a condion calledhydrocephalus.

When an aneurysm rupture results inbleeding (like Restos case), the bloodcan block the circulaon of the fluidsurrounding the brain and the spinal cord(cerebrospinal fluid), this can lead tohydrocephalus, an excess of cerebrospinalfluid that increases pressure on the brainand can damage ssue. This type ofstroke can lead to death; it also affects anindividuals motor skills and cognion.

During Restos first visit with the physical

therapist, she was very weak, confused,and offbalance. She could barely stand upstraight or stay on her feet for more thanfive seconds. The therapy session was veryintense and although Resto was a veryamiable paent to work with, the sessionproved to be very difficult because she wasalmost completely offbalance.

Resto followed her treatment step by stepand she had a strong will to recover as fastas possible. Restos husband was involvedin her recovery as well, and his persistenceplayed a very important role in her abilityto achieve her funconal goals. As mefor discharge got closer she expressed herdesire to connue with therapist the visits,I feel like a different person, she said,I feel strong and happy. Every me you

come to visit, my day is filled with joy andhope. I have so much gratefulness for thework that your team does.

With a good support team, familyinvolvement, plus a well trained therapist,Resto progressed to the maximum levelwith funconal acvies in less thantwo months. She regained all her motorabilies: going down and up stairs, gengin and out the shower, walking outside, and

even going out to shop with her husband.I might not longer need this device, shesaid to us, smiling while looking at herwalker. Resto had regained about 95% ofher normal funconing.

There are many risk factors that can causea stroke such as: High blood pressure,diabetes, heart disease, smoking, highcholesterol, lack of exercise, excessivealcohol consumpon, life style, ethnicity,and diet. Symptoms of stroke include:Weakness or numbness of the face, armor leg, especially on one side of the body,a sudden confusion or trouble talking orunderstanding, sudden trouble movingor walking, severe sudden headache. Ifyou noce symptoms act quickly. There is

treatment that is safe and effecve thatcan reverse the stroke, but only when givenwithin about three hours of the onset ofsymptoms. Unfortunately people typicallyarrive at the hospital too late, or hospitalsdo not begin providing the treatment soonenough. Remember when you experiencethe symptoms menoned above writedown in a piece of paper the exact meand ask for help! Make sure that you andyour family be persistent when arriving atthe hospital.

You and your health care providers canstart by creang a healthy life style plan.Take the first step by incorporang morephysical acvies in your daily rouneand changing your diet. The main goalof HCRs Stroke Rehabilitaon Team is

to help paents regain the majority oftheir funconal abilies and to be more

independent.

In the meeng of this month, the LiteraryCaf centered its interest on discussing

one of the books that sold the most in thelast four years, belonging to the collecon

of Kate Morton, an Australian writer wholikes to make extraordinary mixtures withfamily stories and fairy tales.The Forgoen Garden was the fantascplace toward which our dreams, as wellas our deepest memories, were directed.The style of this novel took us to the dejavu of Magical Realism lived in novels likeOne Hundred Years of Solitude by GabrielGarcia Marquez, where the presence offantasc and fabulous elements are fusedwith narrave reality in order to show usthat discordance of facts; that in any given

moment, everything canfl

y out of controland they can bring us to see head-on thefact that life prepares us surprises thatseem to escape totally from tradionalreality.

The work that was brought aboutconcerning the presence of family secretsand the consequences that they bringalong with them, both within the adoptedfamily of Nell as in her family of origin,and they go along weaving the dreamof the forgoen garden and they takeit to a drama that echoes generaonaer generaon. The Cafecito Literarioquesoned the presence of these familysecrets considering them as an immediatesoluon in order to maintain a familiarharmony totally false in which problems,

instead of being resolved, became moreand more pathological.

Upon finding that Kate Morton as well asGabriel Garcia Marquez have wrien theirnovels inspired by their family histories,this awakened a great enthusiasm in thegroup. There was even someone who saidthat she found an interesng Lan touch inthe form of presenng the secrets and thefamily taboos in the story.

Also, it was found that the existence of fairytales crosses any cultural froner, sincesuch tales have been a very popular wayof dramazing universal quesons thathuman beings find unknown, interesngor difficult to resolve inside their social or

affecve milieu. In the case of the authothe wrien stories act as the paths anhints that took us to the answers of thhidden mysteries in the novel in which shexpresses many of her worries and feasurrounding materity, for example.

The Forgoen Garden awakened great interest to know what were thmovaons that led Adeline, the villain the novel, to act in such a defensive waagainst the character of the author. Threason brought us to an exploraon of th

patriarchical laws about the managing oeconomic power inside English familiefinding that for Adeline, maintainincontrol of her daughter also guaranteeher a connued status in an upper-clasocial group.

Maternity and its affecve rules break apaerns in this work, since, contrary twhat one expects as innate or insncvacng maternal and protecve is showas a learned paern, or perhaps poorllearned, in the course of generaons which the great majority of biologicmothers are shown as unaached anirresponsible. This is in contrast witadopve mothers with the convicon andesire to consolidate a mother-daughtebond.

This novel thus linked in our group, thLiterary Caf, the concept of materniin funcon of a commitment that can bacquired more by convicon than by biological consequence before which oncan react in different ways. Also, anoththing that jumped out at us was thimportance of truthfulness within a famias a fundamental element to consolidatehealthy relaonship between parents anchildren, whether they be adopve or no

El Jardn Olvidado fue el lugar fantscoa donde se dirigieron nuestros sueosy tambin nuestros recuerdos masprofundos. El eslo de esta novela nos lleval Dj vu del realismo mgico, vivido ennovelas como Cien Aos de Soledad deGabriel Garca Marques, donde la presenciade elementos fantscos y fabulosos sefunden con la realidad narrava paramostrarnos esa discordancia de hechos;

que en un momento dado escapan de todocontrol y nos llevan a ver de frente que lavida nos depara sorpresas que parecensalir totalmente de la realidad tradicional.

El trabajo realizado en cuanto a la presenciade secretos familiares y las consecuenciasque conllevan, tanto dentro de la familiaadopva de Nell como en su familia de

origen, y van entretejiendo la trama de ElJardn Olvidado y lo llevan a un drama quehace eco generacin tras generacin. ElCafecito Literario cueson la presencia deestos secretos familiares considerndolosuna solucin inmediata para manteneruna armona familiar totalmente falsa en laque los problemas, en vez de resolverse, setornaban ms y ms patolgicos.

El encontrar que tanto Kate Morton comoGabriel Garca Mrquez han escrito susnovelas inspirndose en sus historiasfamiliares, despert un gran entusiasmoen El Cafecito Literario incluso huboquien dijo encontrar un interesante toquelano en la forma de plantear los secretosy tabes familiares.

Tambin se encontr que la existenciade los cuentos de hadas rebasa cualquierfrontera cultural, ya que los cuentos hansido una forma muy popular de dramazarcuesones que los seres humanosencuentran desconocidas, interesantes odiciles de resolver dentro de su entornosocial o afecvo. En el caso de la autora

los cuentos escritos actan como pistasque nos llevaron a las respuestas de losmisterios ocultos en la novela en la queella expresa muchas de sus inquietudesy temores en torno a la maternidad, porejemplo.

El Jardn Olvidado despert un gran interspor conocer cuales eran los mviles queinducan a Adeline, la villana de la novela,a actuar de una manera tan defensivacontra el Personaje de la Autora. Dicharazn llev a una exploracin de las leyespatriarcales en cuanto el manejo del podereconmico dentro de las familias inglesas,encontrando que para Adeline mantener elcontrol de su hija, tambin le garanzabala permanencia de su estatus dentro de un

grupo social mas elevado.

La Maternidad y sus reglas afecvrompen los esquemas en esta obra, yque contrario a lo que se espera cominnato o insnvo, la conducta materny protectora se muestra como upatrn aprendido o mal aprendido en transcurso de las generaciones en las qu

la gran mayora de las madres biolgicas muestran desapegadas e irresponsableen contraste con las madres adopvas cola conviccin y el deseo de consolidar urelacin madre-hija.

Esta novela afianz as en El CafeciLiterario el concepto de maternidaen funcin de un compromiso que adquiere mas por conviccin que puna consecuencia biolgica ante la quse puede reaccionar de diversas formaTambin se resalt la importancia dla sinceridad dentro de la familia comelemento fundamental para consoliduna relacin sana entre padres e hijosean estos adopvos o no.

En vas a un verano seguro

Heading into Summer Safety

L o smeses deverano enRoch esterenden aser cortos,as que no

es de sorprendernos que en cuanto hace unpoco de calor, todos queremos estar afueradisfrutando del sol. Tambin es el empocuando los nios han terminado la escuelay juegan mas empo afuera. Aunque esbueno verlos sicamente acvos, tambines importante su seguridad.Sabia usted que ms de la mitad de laslesiones de los nios reportadas son acausa de cadas mientras juegan? Y son masfrecuentes durante los meses de verano.Cada ao miles de nios terminan conpiernas y brazos rotos, pero las cadas maspeligrosas son las de cabeza. Un trauma en

la cabeza de un nio puede ocasionar seriaslesiones y algunas veces la muerte. Sinembargo, como padres podemos evitar esepo de tragedias simplemente con proveera nuestros nios un casco protector. Loscascos no son caros y vienen en unagama de eslos y colores para sasfacerel gusto de cada nio. No obstante, muy amenudo veo a nios de todas las edadesmontando bicicleta, escter y panetas; yparcipando en juegos rudos sin ningnpo de proteccin.Como mencion antes, las cadas son lacausa mas comn de lesiones menores en lacabeza en nios y adolecentes, seguida poraccidentes de autos, accidentes en bicicletay caminando, traumas relacionados conlos deportes y abuso infanl. El riesgo delesiones del cerebro vara segn lo severo

del trauma. Las cadas de bajo impacto

(ej. cadas leves, impactos con objetos abaja velocidad o suaves como un jugueteo una bola) enen un bajo nivel de riesgode lesiones al cerebro. En comparacin,incidentes que enen un alto riesgode lesiones cerebrales son: accidentesautomovilscos a alta velocidad, cadasde grandes alturas, golpes con objetos quevan a alta velocidad, pesados u objetospunzantes (ej., bate de pelota, palo degolf) y lesiones infringidas (abuso), comosacudidas vigorosas, frecuentementecausan lesiones severas.

Estudios recientes demuestran que elcrneo de los nios ene solo una 1/8parte de resistencia comparado con elde los adultos. Como consecuencia, losnios son ms vulnerables a lesionesdebido a deformaciones y fracturas delcrneo, lo que puede lesionar el cerebro.

Es importante saber qu se debe mirarcuando su nio sufre un golpe en lacabeza. El comportamiento del nio y lossntomas despus del golpe en la cabezadependen del po y grado de la lesin. Lasseales y sntomas ms comunes incluyen:inflamacin del cuero cabelludo, prdidade conciencia, dolor de cabeza, vmitos,convulsiones y conmocin cerebral.

Muchos padres se preguntan si su nioo adolescente necesita atencin mdicadespus de un golpe en la cabeza. LaAcademia Americana de Pediatrasrecomienda que los padres contacten asu mdico para asesoramiento para todolo que sea mas que un leve chichn enla cabeza. En adicin a lo mencionado,los siguientes sntomas deben ser

evaluados por su mdico ya que estos

sntomas pueden indicar un alto riesgo decomplicaciones:Si hay cambios en el comportamientodel nio (ej. letargo, dicil de despertar,extremadamente enojado, o con cualquierotro comportamiento anormal)Si el nio se tambalea, o ene dificultad alcaminar, torpeza, o falta de coordinacinSi el nio esta confundido o hablaarrastrando las palabrasSi el nio se siente mareado y no se le va oel mareo es recurrenteSi sangre o fluido acuoso sale de la nariz olos odosSi el nio es menor de seis mesesSi una herida no para de sangrar luego deaplicar presin por 10 minutosSi el nio se cay de una altura mas alta decinco pies, fue impactado por un objeto aalta velocidad o fue impactado con granfuerza

Si el padre o la persona a cargo estpreocupada por la forma en que el nioacta

La evaluacin tambin puede determinarsi el nio necesita tratamiento inmediato,seguimiento de cerca, o ms pruebas.

Rochesters summer months tend to beshort ones, so it comes to no surprise thatas soon as it gets warm out, we all wantto be outside enjoying the sun. Its also theme when kids are off from school andget to play more outdoors. Although itsgood to see them physically acve, its alsoimportant for them to stay safe.

Did you know that more than half ofchildrens injuries reported are caused byaccidental falling during play? And this

is more so during the summer months.Every year thousands of children end upwith broken legs and arms, but the mostdangerous fall is that to the head. Traumato a childs head can cause very seriousinjuries and somemes even death.However, as parents we can avoid thosetypes of tragedies simply by providing ourchildren with a safety helmet. Helmets areinexpensive and come in a variety of stylesand colors to suit every childs preference.However, too oen I see children of all agesriding bikes, scooters, and skateboards;and parcipang in rough play with notype of protecon what so ever.

As I menoned before, falls are the mostcommon cause of minor head injury inchildren and adolescents, followed by

motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian and

bicycle accidents, sports-related trauma,and child abuse. The risk of brain injuryvaries with the severity of the trauma. Lowforce injuries (eg, short falls, hit by lowspeed or soobject such as toy or ball) havea low risk of brain injury. In comparison,incidents that have a higher risk of braininjury include: high speed motor vehicleaccidents, falls from great heights, beinghit by a high speed, heavy, or sharp object(eg, baseball bat, golf club) and inflictedinjury (abuse), such as vigorous shaking,typically causes severe injury.

Recent studies show that childrens skullsare only 1/8 as strong as that of adults.Consequently, children are much morevulnerable to injury through deformaonand fracture of the skull, which can injurethe brain. Its important to know what tolook for in the event your child suffers sometype of head injury. A childs behavior andsymptoms aer a head injury depend uponthe type and extent of the injury. The mostcommon signs and symptoms include: scalpswelling, loss of consciousness, headache,voming, seizures, and concussion.

Many parents wonder if their child/adolescent needs medical aenon aera head injury. The American Academyof Pediatrics recommends that parentscontact their childs healthcare provider

for advice for anything more than a light

bump on the head. In addion to theabove menoned, the following symptomsshould also be evaluated by a healthcareprovider since these symptoms mayindicate a higher risk of complicaons:If there are changes in the childs behavior(eg, lethargic, difficult to wake, extremelyirritable, or exhibing other abnormalbehavior)If the child stumbles, or difficulty walking,clumsiness, or lack of coordinaonIf the child is confused or has slurredspeechIf the child has dizziness that does not

resolve or recurs repeatedlyIf blood or watery fluid oozes from thenose or earsIf the child is younger than six months ofageIf a cut will not stop bleeding aer applyingpressure for 10 minutesIf the child fell from a height greater thanfive feet, was hit with a high speed object,or was hit with great forceIf the parent/caregiver is concerned abouthow the child is acng

The evaluaon can also determine if thechild needs immediate treatment, closefollow up, or further tesng. However, its

just not having children wear their helmetto protect their head; its also teaching themabout other safety precauons like the

danger of crossing between cars, running

into the street aer a ball or jumping frovery high heights. Pick a safe zone wheryour child can play and teach him not tgo beyond that area. Its also important tmonitor your childs play, oen childredont sense danger like adults do, so staclose to catch any potenal accidenbefore they happen.

So you begin to prepare to enjoy thsummer months, invest in a helmet another protecve gear. The earlier childrebecome accustom to wearing safety geathe beer; it becomes a life-long habit n

different than fastening their seat beltAlso check out the local health and safetcommunity fairs, these events oen offfree helmets on first come first servbasis. Remember, you are your childs firteacher and best advocate.

Los horrores escondidos de Corea del Norte Por Linda Chavez

The Hidden Horrors of North Korea By Linda Chavez

Mientras quegran parte dela atencinmundial secentra en los

ataques terriblesdel rgimen deAssad contrac i u d a d a n o ssirios, con ms

de un centenar de muertos en la masacrede esta semana en Houla solamente, otraatrocidad de los derechos humanos quese produce en una escala mucho mayorrecibe mucha menos atencin.

El nuevo lder de Corea del Norte, Kim Jong-Eun, ha hecho lo que pocos se esperabancuando asumi el poder despus de lamuerte de su padre el pasado diciembre.En lugar de aflojar el control en la nacinms totalitaria del mundo, Kim Jong-Eunrealmente ha ampliado el nmero decoreanos del Norte somedos a trabajo

forzado, tortura, hambre y muerte encampos de prisioneros de la nacintotalitaria.

Los campamentos, conocidos comokwan-li-so, forman un gulag oculto dondeestn encarcelados los acusados decrmenes contra el Estado. Un esmadode 200.000 personas sirven en estoscampos. El rgimen impone condenas,a menudo sin siquiera el pretexto de un

juicio, como las que tuvieron lugar en la

Unin Sovica estalinista. Las ejecucionessumarias se producen regularmente enlos campamentos. Aunque las sentenciaspueden ser por diez aos o menos, lamayora de los presos mueren en el kwan-

li-so antes de completar su sentencia.

Los prisioneros trabajan 12-18 horas al dabajo condiciones inhumanas y peligrosasen fbricas, minas y canteras. Accidentesmulan y matan a muchos, pero msa menudo el hambre toma un peajeinimaginable. El preso promedio recibeslo 100-200 gramos de comida al da, elequivalente de alrededor de una taza dearroz blanco con prccamente ningunaprotena. Pero incluso arroz, un alimentobsico de la dieta asica, a menudo noest disponible. El maz es el sustutohabitual, que conduce a la pelagra, unaenfermedad que provoca lesiones de lapiel, confusin mental y eventualmente lademencia.

Pero quizs el aspecto ms atroz de loscampamentos es que no slo son losacusados de delitos encarcelados,sino sus familias enteras tambien sonencarceladas. El fundador de la Repblicade Corea Popular Democrca, Kim Il-Sung,

jusfica la prcca diciendo, la semilladel faccionalismo o enemigos de clase,quienquiera que sean, debe ser eliminadaa travs de tres generaciones. Por lo tanto,los cnyuges, hijos, hermanos, padresincluso ancianos a menudo cumplen

condenas junto con el acusado.

Kim Jong-Eun, el lmo de la dinasa Kim,que ha gobernado la RCPD (Republicade Corea Popular Democrca) desde

1948, ha ampliado esta prcca brutal. Eljoven que Kim ahora ha instruido que losparientes mayores y menores de alguienatrapado tratando de huir del pas serenviadoa la kwan-li-lo.

Aun sabiendo las consecuencias horribles,los coreanos del norte connuarnintententando salir. Desde la devastadorahambruna en los mediados de los 90scuando 2,5 millones de personas murieronde hambre, unos 15.000 norcoreanos hanllegado a seguridad en Corea del Sur o enterceros pases.

Muchos ms viven secretamente en China,donde su situacin no es mucho mejor queen la RPDC. Estos refugiados estn bajoconstante amenazas de ser entregados a

las autoridades deCorea del Norte por elGobierno chino o incluso ser secuestradosy devueltos por agentes de la RPDC quecruzan la frontera para ese propsito.

An ms gente en el Occidente no sonconscientes de lo que est ocurriendo enCorea del Norte o deciden ignorarlo. Y elGobierno de Estados Unidos reserva lapoca indignacin que demuestra sobre elprograma nuclear de la nacin.

Puede ser ms dicil esquivar nuestmirada, sin embargo, mientras la nuevinformacin se filtra sobre exactamencuan malas son las condiciones en el kwali-lo. Un informe actualizado de la Comisi

de derechos humanos en Corea, El ocultGulag: la vida y las voces de aquellque son enviados a las montaas, ahoincluye tesmonios oculares de 60 epresos junto con 30 pginas de imgenede satlite de los campamentos.

Adems, un nuevo libro centra la atencien la situacin de aquellos que hasobrevivido el terror de los campamentoEscape del Campamento 14 de BlainHardin da detalles de la v ida de Shin Donhyuk, un joven nacido en el campamentque escap, pero slo despus de entrega su madre y su hermano, quieneconsideraba como traidores y rivalpor alimentos, y tras de ser tesgo de ejecucin. Pero ha habido otros libros qucontaban historias similares: Los acuario

de Pyongyang, por el ex prisionero KanChol-hwan, y El Largo Camino a Casapor Kim Yong pero tampoco provocarointers suficiente y la indignacin pamovilizar a los estadounidenses ququieran hacer algo.

A menos que eso cambie, Corea del Norseguir con la hambre, tortura y matade su pueblo mientras miramos hacia otlado.

While much of the worlds aenon isfocused on the Assad regimes appalling

assaults against Syrian cizens, withmore than a hundred dead in this weeksmassacre in Houla alone, another humanrights atrocity occurring on a much largerscale garners far less aenon.

North Koreas new leader, Kim Jong-Eun,has done what few expected when heassumed power aer his fathers death lastDecember. Instead of loosening control inthe most totalitarian naon in the world,Kim Jong-Eun has actually expanded thenumber of North Koreans subject to forcedlabor, torture, starvaon and death in thetotalitarian naons prison camps.

The camps, known as kwan-li-so, forma hidden gulag where those accused ofcrimes against the state are imprisoned. An

esmated 200,000 people serve in thesecamps. The regime imposes sentences,oen without even the pretense of ashow trial, like those that took place in theStalinist Soviet Union. Summary execuonsoccur regularly in the camps. Although thesentences may be for ten years or less,most prisoners die in the kwan-li-so beforecompleng their terms.

Prisoners work 12-18 hours a day underinhumane and dangerous condions inmines, quarries, and factories. Accidentsmaim and kill many, but more oenstarvaon takes an unimaginable toll. Theaverage prisoner receives only 100-200grams of food a day the equivalent ofabout one cup of white rice with virtuallyno protein. But even rice, a staple of the

Asian diet, is oen unavailable. Corn is the

usual substute, which leads to pellagra, adisease that brings on skin lesions, mental

confusion and eventually demena.

But perhaps the most heinous aspect of thecamps is that not only are those accusedof crimes but their enre familiesimprisoned. The founder of the DemocracPeoples Republic of Korea, Kim Il-Sung,

jusfied the pracce by claiming, The seedof faconalists or class enemies, whoeverthey are, must be eliminated throughthree generaons. So, spouses, children,siblings, even elderly parents oen servesentences along with the accused.Now Kim Jong-Eun, the latest in the Kimdynasty that has ruled the DPRK since1948, has expanded this barbaric pracce.The young Kim has now instructed thatboth older and younger relaves of anyonecaught trying to flee the country will be

sent to the kwan-li-so.

Even knowing the horrific consequences,North Koreans will connue to try to leave.Since the devastang famine in the mid-90s when as many as 2.5 million peoplestarved to death, some 15,000 NorthKoreans have reached safety in SouthKorea or third countries.

Many more live secretly in China, wheretheir plight is not much beer than inthe DPRK. These refugees are underconstant threat of being turned over toNorth Korean authories by the Chinesegovernment or even being kidnapped andforcibly returned by DPRK agents who crossthe border for that purpose.

Yet most people in the West either are

unaware of what is going on in NorthKorea or choose to ignore it. And the U.S.

government reserves what lile outrageit displays on the rogue naons nuclearprogram.

It may become more difficult to avert ourgaze, however, as new informaon leaksout about exactly how bad condions arein the kwan-li-so. An updated report ofthe Commiee for Human Rights in Korea,The Hidden Gulag: The Lives and Voicesof Those Who Are Sent to the Mountains,now includes eyewitness tesmony from60 former prisoners along with 30 pages ofsatellite images of the camps.

In addion, a new book focuses aenonon the plight of those who have survived

the terror of the camps. Blaine HardinEscape from Camp 14 details the li

of Shin Dong-hyuk, a young man born the camp who escaped, but only aturning in his mother and brother, whohe regarded as traitors and rivals for fooand witnessing their execuon. But thehave been other books that told similstories The Aquariums of Pyongyangby former prisoner Kang Chol-hwan, anThe Long Road Home, by Kim Yong yneither provoked sufficient interest anoutrage to mobilize Americans to want tdo something.

Unless that changes, North Korea wconnue to starve, torture, and kill ipeople while we look the other way.

Menras y mitos sobre los mexicanos que nos rodeanParte uno por Raoul Lowery-Contreras

THE LIES AND MYTHS ABOUT THE MEXICANS AROUND USPart One by Raoul Lowery-Contreras

Las menras ylos mitos sobrelos mexicanos,m e x i c a n o sestadounidensesy mexicanosi l e g a l e spresentes en losEstados Unidosconnan siendopromocionados

por menrosos, traidores y enfermosmentales mejor conocidos como racistas.

Esta es la parte uno de Menras ymitos acerca de los mexicanos que nosrodean. Aqu examinamos cuatro delas ms grandes menras y mitos. Lasegunda parte examinar tres, incluyendoel mayor de todos, que los nios nacidosen los Estados Unidos no son ciudadanosestadounidenses al nacer, la menra que seorigin en la mente pequea del senadordemcrata Harry Reid (D-Nevada).

Mito: las personas ilegales presentes en losEstados Unidos suman de 20 a 30 millones

Hecho: La fracasada compaa de

inversiones de Nueva York Bear Sternsespecul que haba 20 millones deilegales en los EEUU basado en un estudiorealizado en Jersey City, Nueva Jersey, unaciudad con menos mexicanos de cualquierpo que Ketchikan, Alaska. Sin embargo,podemos intuir que confundieron apuertorriqueos y a cubanoamericanoscomo extranjeros ilegales.

No obstante, los fancos aninmigrantes ahora ulizan ese infundadoe indocumentado estudio por la fallidafirma de Wall Street como Evangelio.Observadores legmos generalmenteestn de acuerdo en que hay unos 11-12millones de personas en el pas ilegalmente.

Estudios recientes indican que por diversasrazones, el nmero de los mexicanos queentran, legales e ilegales, es igual a losque salen, por lo tanto parece no haberningn aumento neto de poblacin. Estaes probablemente la primera vez en lahistoria estadounidense y mexicana que unnmero neto de cero movimiento a travsde la frontera ha sido grabado.

Mito: Los ilegales no pagan impuestos

Hecho: La administracin de SeguridadSocial informa que hay ms de US$ 400mil millones, que son miles de millones

aguantados en cuentas transitorias enla Seguridad Social que son atribuiblesprincipalmente a trabajadores ilegales deMxico.

El IRS indica que cientos de miles depersonas estn ulizando nmeros deidenficacin de impuestos (TIN, porsus siglas en ingls) para llenar formasde impuesto sobre la renta reportandocompletamente su ingreso (o renta)para informar y pagar los impuestosapropiados. Estos nmeros sustuyen los

nmeros de Seguridad Social que no estnlegalmente disponibles para extranjerosilegales. Cuando se les pregunt, muchasde estas de personas declararon que suspresentaciones 1040 podran ayudarles enel futuro cuando se cambien las leyes paraque puedan ser legalizados; cambios queocurrirn algn da.Adems, estas personas pagan el telfono,llantas, gasolina y otros impuestosfederales que todos pagamos.

A nivel de Estado, adems de losimpuestos estatales que puedan deber,todos pagan los impuestos de las escuelas(impuestos de propiedad) si poseen unacasa impuestos directos a la propiedad, y

todos los impuestos de ventas incluyendoel enorme impuesto al gas que todospagamos.

Mito: Los mexicanos envan de $11 a 15 -mil millones de dlares a Mxico sin pagode impuestos sobre ese dinero.

Hecho: Este cargo es verdaderamentetonto, de hecho, estpido.

1. Ese dinero en efecvo repatriado esdespus de que se pagan los impuestos.Estudios del gobierno llevados a cabo en loscalabozos en San Diego con trabajadoresilegales detenidos y esperando serdeportados muestran que el 75 por cientode los trabajadores mexicanos ilegalmentepresentes son pagados con chequesde nmina con plenas deducciones deSeguridad Social, estatal e impuestosfederales (si proceden).

2. Por lo tanto qu, incluso si fueracierto? Cada dlar enviado a Mxico porindividuos se une a los que se gastan en elcomercio con Mxico que son devueltos alos Estados Unidos en forma de consumo,comercio de compras, o la compra de

bienes y servicios por los mexicanos entoda la economa de Estados Unidos.Esmaciones legmas siempre concluyenque los mexicanos gastan 75 por ciento decada dlar estadounidense que reciben ose pagan en Estados Unidos.

Estudios realizados por la comunidadde negocios de San Diego llegaron a laconclusin de que nacionales mexicanos(incluidos los presentes ilegalmente)gastan ms 2 millones de dlares al ao enSan Diego (la ciudad ms grande de E.U. enla frontera con Mxico o Canad).

Mito: Los mexicanos vienen a los EstadosUnidos para escapar de la pobreza, la

opresin polca y un gobierno corrupto.

Hecho: La respetada encuesta de PeHispanic muestra que la mayora de lmexicanos que vinieron aqu para trabajilegalmente antes de 2010 realmendejaron puestos de trabajo en Mxico pabuscar mayor paga en Estados Unidos, npara escapar de la pobreza o la represipolca.

Hecho: La tasa de natalidad en Mxiha cado tanto que casi est como la tade natalidad de E.U., un poco ms de hijos por madre. Esa baja ha reducido poblacin masculina joven hasta el punque menos mexicanos estn llegando norte mientras se reduce el excedente dla oferta de jvenes laborales masculinestn aumentando los salarios mexicanosel producto interno bruto (PIB) de Mxicest aumentando 50% ms rpido que elos Estados Unidos. Mxico se aproximrpidamente a la clase media nacional de acuerdo con Goldman Sachs, ser quinta mayor economa del mundo en 1aos.

Por supuesto, hay innumerables mitos

menras que son promulgados por estpersonas.

Normalmente son fciles de disipar cohechos. Asi como en el hombre y mujer que parcipan en la promocin destas menras y mitos, que son racistal ncleo. Se estudiar cuidadosamenel racismo crudo de estas personas en segunda parte.

Djenlos quejarse cuando los llamracistas, menrosos y matones. Eso es que son y que es tan claro como la vistdesde el Monte Olimpo o Popocapetl.
