Shedd Aquarium details major renovations

BY KAITLIN WASHBURN

Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium provided new details Tuesday about its yearslong renovation plan that will make waves for both visitors and animals, including new immersive exhibits with bilingual signs and updating animal habitats.

This summer marks the start of the major changes of the eight-year, $500 million transformation.

“Over the course of the next four years, we are going to lean in to our ability to connect people with the natural world, come eye to eye with nature, build compassion, and then be a catalyst to a groundswell of community efforts in conservation,” said Bridget Coughlin, president and CEO of the Shedd Aquarium

Some of the changes began earlier this year, which involved combining all of the aquarium’s labs and the animal hospital into one space and opening a new bilingual exhibit on plankton in July The larger and modernized lab space will be completed by September.

Shedd plans to complete all of the planned renovations by 2030, in time for its centennial anniversary. The aquarium will stay open throughout the project.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson spoke about the transformation during a news conference Tuesday.

“The latest expansion reminds us why Shedd leads on the national stage of conservation and environmental education and ensures that more students from Illinois and across the nation will benefit from the education provided here,” Pritzker said

Johnson said he was especially excited about the aquarium’s continued commitment to young people, especially Chicago Public Schools students and kids from the South and West sides

“This aquarium is a crown jewel for the city and for the state,” Johnson said. “I’m excited to see this transformation because it furthers our city’s status as a world-class destination and a leader of innovation.”

The upgrades will be opened on a rolling basis as they’re completed They include remodeling the aquarium’s entrance to be more accessible for visitors, updating exhibits and creating new ones, making all signs in the aquarium bilingual and offering more educational programs.

The focus of the exhibits will be on the animals, their behaviors and the greater biodiversity of their environments, rather than the current focus on geography.

Andrew Pulver, the vice president of animal care at Shedd, said the upgrades to the animal habitats were designed to give visitors

a closer look at how the animals behave and interact with their environment

“These changes will create a deeper appreciation for the very large, diverse collection of animals at Shedd. We have 30,000 animals and over 1,000 species, and we can now bring visitors closer to them to get a behind-the-scenes look,” Pulver said.

The aquarium unveiled its Centennial Commitment last year, transforming much of the Shedd’s mission.

“Every single element of the Centennial Commitment is committed to positive impact for animals and erasing the divide between humans and nature,” Coughlin said “That’s never more important now with the globe in crisis and with the increasing urbanization of the world”

“Wonder of Water” will replace the Shedd’s Caribbean Reef tank, which has greeted visitors since it was built in 1971 The animals in the tank will be moved to a new Caribbean exhibit.

The existing “Amazon Rising” gallery exploring the Amazon River basin will also be updated.

The next three phases will be completed over four years:

Summer 2024-summer 2026

• “Changing Oceans” will be a new immersive experience at the aquarium Visitors will be able to follow from the top of the ocean down to its depths and learn about how the animals and their environments have been impacted by climate change

• Within Changing Oceans, there will be exhibits on towering kelp forests and the

new ecosystem that is created when a whale dies The gallery will also feature a new 40foot “Caribbean Tunnel” which visitors can walk through to experience the Caribbean Reef habitat, featuring Nickel the green sea turtle, blacktip reef sharks and spotted eagle rays.

• The Lakeside Learning Studio will be the new home for educational programming at Shedd. The classrooms will be moved from the basement to the main gallery areas. The aquarium will be able to go from hosting 180,000 students annually to beyond 230,000

• Shedd will expand and restore the North Terrace, providing more space to enjoy the view of Lake Michigan and the city skyline

Summer 2026-winter 2026

Two galleries will be updated during this phase:

• The “River Wonders” gallery will show visitors the biology and behaviors in and around an Illinois stream.

• The “Living Lakes” gallery will highlight the habits of freshwater fish and visitors will be able to learn about how the Great Lakes provide an ecosystem that supports thousands of species.

The Shedd’s foyer, the Grand Hall, will also be restored to create a more welcoming atmosphere. The room will feature animal encounters, learning programs and interactives

• This report was produced in partnership with the Chicago Sun-Times For related coverage, visitchicago suntimes com

West Suburban Community Pantry uses new tech to communicate with migrant community

BY SARAH CORBIN West Suburban Community Pantry

West Suburban Community Pantry recently began using the Instant Language Assistant by Translate Live to defeat the language barrier that was impeding the pantry’s ability to serve their increasingly diverse migrant population.

The new device is changing the way staff and volunteers communicate with customers, who speak more than 17 global languages, now seeking groceries, household items and services at the West Suburban Community Pantry

“It’s a critical piece of equipment,” says pantry CEO Suzanne Armato “More than half of our community doesn’t choose English as their first language Ensuring we connect our community to the healthy foods they want and need and support services that can help stabilize and improve their lives well, that begins with talking to one another.”

The Instant Language Assistant supports 120 languages It offers a variety of dialects, and it can be loaded with common phrases to ease in specific uses. The Instant Language Assistant is used by volunteers and staff to welcome customers, introduce them to the supportive services and assist with check-in and registration.

The device features two screens the text and screen colors can be changed to aid customers with low vision

Customers can speak or text using the tablet,

or they can enter a virtual chat room and use their own phone without setting up an account

“I’ve seen firsthand the power of this small piece of hardware,” says Paul Matsushima, director of pantry operations “Recently, I helped several newly immigrated individuals sign up to get groceries using the ILA It allowed us to have a conversation and put us on equal footing It really breaks down the language barrier and reduces the stress of a new situation for all We could use a lot more to help assist our community One really isn’t enough ”

West Suburban Community Pantry in Woodridge served more than 110,000 individuals in DuPage and Will counties seeking food and resources last year Implementing the use of devices like the Instant Language Assistant is critical to increasing the efficiency of pantry operations and serving with dignity.

West Suburban Community Pantry increases access to nutritious foods through our in-person food pantry, online ordering, senior home delivery, and child nutrition programs in local school districts. Serving more than 9,000 community members in DuPage and Will counties each month, it additionally supports families in reaching a higher quality of life by providing financial assistance, wellness workshops, and counseling with a focus on crisis stabilization.

Rescuing the rescuers

Shield 23 Foundation Inc. gifts funds to firefighters and paramedics fighting job-related cancers

BY KIM BECKER For Reflejos

Russ Constantino loved his job with theGurnee Fire Department. He was the department’s Quartermaster, responsible for the distribution and inventory of all the supplies, materials and equipment.

It came as a shock to Russ’s family that his handling of that gear contributed to the cancer that eventually took his life

The turnout gear firefighters wear, when heated, gives off carcinogens, which is a contributing cause to cancer In 2007, Russ developed a brain tumor and fought for more than two years before succumbing to his illness in 2009

In honor of her husband’s fight and the firefighters who rallied around her family during the darkest of times, Shenan Constantino and her children created Shield 23 Foundation Inc. The foundation gives money to other firefighters who are fighting work-related cancers.

“Firefighters are used to being the rescuers and the helpers they are not used to being the center of attention or being on the receiving end of a helping hand, and it is often difficult for them to reach out for the help they and their family may need,” said Shenan Constantino in an email

“But our family knows firsthand the stress and anxiety of dealing with cancer, and the financial toll especially We hope our gifting will ease at least some of that burden This is our family’s way of honoring Russ’s memory, and honoring those who helped us at that time, and paying it forward”

Karla Cutting and her husband, Andy, are among those who have benefited from the foundation’s monetary help. Unfortunately, Andy passed away in January.

“My husband of 25 years, and a firefighter/ paramedic on the Skokie Fire Department for nearly that long, was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer in August 2022. He passed in January. I am so eternally grateful to Shield 23 for their support, and will do whatever I can going forward to support this phenomenal charity,” Karla Cutting said in an email

To help raise funds, Shield 23 Foundation Inc hosted the “Fight Smoke, Fire & Cancer” Golf Outing Friday, Aug 4, in McHenry County The Constantino family hopes the event not only raised funds, but also awareness about cancer-related illnesses in firefighters If you would like to support this cause, make a donation at www. Shield23Foundation.org.

Shenan Constantino talks about the foundation.

Q: What is Shield 23 Foundation Inc.?

A: Shield 23 Foundation Inc. was formed in 2018 in memory of my late husband, Russell S. Constantino, a Waukegan native and 20-year Gurnee firefighter/paramedic, who passed away Nov 9, 2009, at age 46 after a 2½-year battle with job-related brain cancer

GURNEE FIREFIGHTER/PARAMEDIC Russell S. Constantino is the inspiration behind the start of Shield 23 Foundation Inc , which gifts money to firefighters and their families fighting job-related cancers Russ died in 2009 from a brain tumor.

S23F was named for Russ’s badge number. Shield 23 Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that raises funds for and gifts funds to firefighters battling cancer and the families that stand beside them.

The financial support may be used toward medical costs not covered by insurance, travel and transportation costs related to treatment, loss of income, household bills and expenses, meals, child care, etc. We have a Gifting Committee of dedicated volunteers who review each gift request and makes appropriate gifting recommendations to the S23F board, which issues the final approval

Our board includes our now-adult children, who both followed in their father’s example of service; our son is a firefighter/ paramedic in Lake County and our daughter serves as an officer in the Indiana Army National Guard

Q: How many people do you help each year?

A: As of this writing, in the past four years we have presented 31 giftings, for a total of $89,190.

We currently have a couple of pending gift requests in process and anticipate crossing $100,000 before the end of 2023.

It is very important to show a personal touch, so all giftings are presented in person to the firefighter and their family It is usually arranged to take place at the gift recipient’s fire station so their firefighter brothers and sisters may participate and show their support, but also sometimes at the venue of a fundraiser being thrown on their behalf

“Our slogan, ‘For Love of Family & Broth-

erhood,’ is what is etched on Russ’s grave marker It means that not only is the firefighter gift recipient a member of the fire service family at large and their respective fire department family, but forever more also the Shield 23 Foundation family,” Shenan said.

Q: Where do the majority of your funds come from to support your work?

A: We have been incredibly blessed by those who have generously supported our mission over the past five years.

We have received donations from sponsors such as Mission BBQ (Gurnee); from beneficiary events such as fire departments and their unions, who share with S23F a portion of the proceeds from their own fundraising events; other local organizations that have designated S23F as a beneficiary of their events, such as Gurnee Days Car Show; from fundraising events such as socials and raffles; direct donations via our website and our Facebook page; private donors who know or have known a firefighter with cancer; our S23F merchandise (see www Shield23Foundation.org), and both individual and fire service group memberships.

Q: How can readers help your organization?

A: Please contact us via our website, www.Shield23Foundation.org, or our Facebook page if you know of an active duty firefighter battling cancer in Illinois or surrounding states who could benefit from financial support

• Serve as a liaison for a firefighter battling cancer and complete and submit a gift request, as found at www Shield23Foundation org, on behalf of a firefighter battling cancer

• Donate on the website; become a member, sponsor or donor; and follow us on Facebook

Q: What else would you like readers to know?

A: According to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, “ cancer is the most dangerous threat to firefighter health and safety today.”

• “Cancer caused 66% of the career firefighter line-of-duty deaths from 2002 to 2019, according to data from the International Association of Fire Fighters. Heart disease caused 18% of career line-of-duty deaths for the same period.”

• “Cancer caused 70% of the line-of-duty deaths for career firefighters in 2016.”

• “Firefighters have a 9% higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% higher risk of dying from cancer than the general U S population,” according to research by the CDC/National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety

Heat, air pollution may double heart attack risk

Extreme temperatures combined with high levels of air pollution dramatically increase the risk of older adults having a fatal heart attack, new research from China suggests

The study, published this week in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, found the risk of dying from a heart attack may double on days with both extremely high temperatures and excessive levels of pollution from fine particulate matter. Extreme cold also may raise fatal heart attack risks, the results showed.

“Extreme temperature events are becoming more frequent, longer and more intense, and their adverse health effects have drawn growing concern, ” the study’s senior author, Dr. Yuewei Liu, said in a news release. Liu is an associate professor of epidemiology in the School of Public Health at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou

Fine particulate matter in the air may “interact synergistically” with extreme temperatures to adversely affect cardiovascular health, Liu said “Our findings provide evidence that reducing exposure to both extreme temperatures and fine particulate pollution may be useful to prevent premature deaths from heart attack, especially for women and older adults.”

Fine particulate matter pollution comes from burning fuels and includes vehicle exhaust, factory emissions and wildfire smoke.

Particles less than 2.5 microns can be easily inhaled deep into the lungs, where they

can cause irritation to the lungs and blood vessels around the heart Prior research has linked exposure to fine particulate matter pollution to heart disease, stroke and other health issues

The researchers analyzed data for 202,678 heart attack deaths from 2015 to 2020 in Jiangsu province, a coastal region in eastern China with a wide range of temperatures and fine particulate matter levels The people who died were nearly 78 years old on average.

Fine particulate matter pollution levels were measured on the day of and day before each death. Particulate matter levels were considered high on any day the average exceeded 37.5 micrograms per cubic meter.

Extreme temperatures were measured using the daily heat index, which reflects the combined impact of heat and humidity

A heat wave was defined as temperatures at or above 82 6 degrees Fahrenheit for two or more days The days a heart attack death occurred were compared with control days defined as the same day of the week within the same month That is, if a heart attack occurred on a Wednesday, every other Wednesday in the same month would be considered a control day

Compared to control days, researchers found the risk of a fatal heart attack was twice as high during four-day heat waves with fine particulate pollution above 37.5 micrograms per cubic meter. It was 18% higher during two-day heat waves when tempera-

tures ranged from 82 6 to 97 9 degrees Fahrenheit, and 74% higher during four-day heat waves when heat indexes reached 94 8 to 109 4 degrees Fahrenheit

Extreme cold also affected the risk of having a fatal heart attack Compared to control days, the risks were 4% higher during twoday cold snaps when temperatures ranged from 33 3 to 40 5 degrees, and 12% higher during three-day cold snaps when temperatures were 27 to 37.2 degrees. But unlike with extreme heat, there was no added risk of a fatal heart attack when extreme cold was combined with pollution exposure.

During heat waves, cold snaps and days with high levels of pollution, the risk of heart attack death was generally higher among women than men, and among adults 80 and older compared to younger adults.

The researchers estimated that up to 2 8% of fatal heart attacks in the study could be attributable to the combination of extreme temperatures and elevated levels of fine particulate pollution

To prevent negative effects on health, Liu recommended monitoring weather forecasts and staying inside when temperatures reach extremes, using fans and air conditioners to cool down, dressing appropriately for the weather, staying hydrated and installing window blinds to reduce indoor temperatures.

Liu also said the added risk associated with high levels of pollution can be avoided by using an indoor air purifier, wearing a

mask outdoors, staying clear of busy highways when walking and choosing less strenuous outdoor activities

“To improve public health, it is important to take fine particulate pollution into consideration when providing extreme temperature warnings to the public,” Liu said

About varicose veins

Varicose veins are swollen and enlarged veins – usually blue or dark purple – that usually occur on the legs They may also be lumpy, bulging or twisted in appearance

Other symptoms include:

• aching, heavy and uncomfortable legs

• swollen feet and ankles

• muscle cramp in your legs

• dry skin and colour changes in the lower leg

Your GP can diagnose varicose veins based on these symptoms, although further tests may be carried out.

Why do varicose veins happen?

Varicose veins develop when the small valves inside the veins stop working properly

In a healthy vein, blood flows smoothly to the heart The blood is prevented from flowing backwards by a series of tiny valves that open and close to let blood through

If the valves weaken or are damaged, the blood can flow backwards and collect in the vein, eventually causing it to be swollen and enlarged (varicose).

Certain things can increase your chances of developing varicose veins, such as: pregnancy, being overweight, old age

Who is affected?

Varicose veins are a common condition, affecting up to 3 in 10 adults. Women are more likely to develop them than men.

Any vein in the body can become varicose, but they most commonly develop in the legs and feet, particularly in the calves This is because standing and walking puts extra pressure on the veins in the lower body

Increased risk

A number of things can increase your likelihood of developing varicose veins, including:

• gender

• genetics

• age

• being overweight

• occupation

• being pregnant

Gender

Women are more likely to be affected by varicose veins than men Research suggests this may be because female hormones tend to relax the walls of veins, making the valves more prone to leaking

Hormones are chemicals produced by the body, and changes may be caused by pregnancy, premenstrual syndrome orthe menopause

Genetics

Your risk of developing varicose veins is increased if a close family member has the condition. This suggests varicose veins may be partly caused by your genes (the units of genetic material you inherit from your parents).

Age

As you get older, your veins start to lose their elasticity and the valves inside them stop working as well

Varicose Veins ¿TIENES VÁRICES? ¿SIENTES CANSANCIO Y DOLOR EN LAS PIERNAS?

Being overweight

Being overweight puts extra pressure on your veins, which means they have to work harder to send the blood back to your heart. This can put increased pressure on the valves, making them more prone to leaking.

The impact of body weight on the development of varicose veins appears to be more significant in women.

Use a healthy weight calculator to check whether you are overweight

Occupation

Some research suggests jobs that require long periods of standing may increase your risk of getting varicose veins This is because your blood does not flow as easily when you are standing for long periods of time

Pregnancy

During pregnancy, the amount of blood increases to help support the developing baby. This puts extra strain on your veins.

Increased hormone levels during pregnancy also cause the muscular walls of the blood vessels to relax, which also increases your risk.

Varicose veins may also develop as the womb (uterus) begins to grow As the womb expands it puts pressure on veins in your pelvic area, which can sometimes cause them to become varicose

Although being pregnant can increase your risk of developing varicose veins, most women find their veins significantly improve after the baby is born

Other conditions

In rare cases, varicose veins are caused by other conditions. These include: a previous blood clot, a swelling or tumour in the pelvis, abnormal blood vessels

Symptoms of varicose veins

Varicose veins are dark purple or blue in colour and are usually twisted and bulging in appearance. Some people with varicose veins may experience pain or discomfort

As well as their distinctive appearance, symptoms of varicose veins can include: aching, heavy and uncomfortable legs, swollen feet and ankles, burning or throbbing in your legs, muscle cramp in your legs, particularly at night, dry, itchy and thin skin over the affected vein

These symptoms are usually worse during warm weather or if you ’ ve been standing up for long periods of time. They may improve when you walk around or if you rest and raise your legs. Pillows are a good way to raise your legs comfortably.

CORTE DE APELACIONES PERMITE QUE

CONTROVERTIDA POLÍTICA DE ASILO DEL GOBIERNO BIDEN CONTINÚE TEMPORALMENTE

Janine Trainor

Fronteras de la Noticia -cnn

La Corte de Apelaciones del 9º Circuito de EE.UU. permitirá al gobierno de Biden implementar una controvertida política de asilo mientras apela la sentencia de un tribunal inferior.

La controvertida política en el centro de la batalla judicial restringe en gran medida que los migrantes que pasaron por otro país puedan buscar asilo en Estados Unidos, lo que marca una desviación del protocolo que se ha mantenido por décadas. Esta política y una medida similar de la era Trump han recibido críticas de los aliados de Biden, los demócratas y los defensores de la inmigración. El juez de circuito Lawrence VanDyke, designado por Trump, disintió de la decisión del panel de apelaciones. VanDyke señaló a los miembros de la mayoría del panel, que anteriormente se han puesto del lado de quienes se oponían a la medida de la administración Trump y que buscaban bloquear políticas de inmigración similares “La ‘Regla de Pathways’ de la administración Biden que tenemos ante nosotros en esta apelación no es significativamente diferente a las reglas de la administración anterior que fueron criticadas por mis dos colegas”, dijo VanDyke en un agudo desacuerdo “Esta nueva regla parece como si dos políticas de la administración Trump se reunieran, tuvieran un bebé y luego se arreglaran con un atuendo moderno y elegante, completo con una aplicación de teléfono”.

VanDyke apuntó fuertemente, de manera inusual, contra sus colegas del panel y los acusó de ignorar el precedente “Mis colegas, que crearon todo ese precedente, ahora no deberían poder simplemente eludirlo. Es difícil quitarse la impresión de que aquí está operando algo más que la ley”, escribió, y agregó que le hubiera gustado haber votado a

favor de restablecer la política de asilo, pero eso no fue “permitido por el desorden orientado a los resultados que hemos hecho de nuestro precedente de inmigración”

El juez Jon Tigar del Tribunal del Distrito Norte de California, cuyo fallo estaba destinado a detener la política la próxima semana, expresó de manera similar su escepticismo de que hubiera alguna diferencia entre la política de Biden y la de la era Trump durante una audiencia en la corte el mes pasado. Tigar había fallado previamente en contra de la política bajo la administración Trump. Sin embargo, los funcionarios de la administración de Biden han rechazado la comparación con las reglas de la era Trump.

La administración ha implementado una serie de medidas para tratar de detener el flujo migratorio y manejar la situación a lo largo de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México, pero enfrenta múltiples demandas de los estados republicanos y de los activistas, lo que representa un riesgo para los planes fronterizos de Biden.

La Unión Estadounidense por las Libertades Civiles (ACLU, por sus siglas en inglés), que presentó la demanda junto con otros grupos de derechos de los inmigrantes, elogió la decisión en un comunicado.

“El fallo de suspensión no dice nada sobre la legalidad de la prohibición, y confiamos en que prevaleceremos cuando el tribunal tenga plena oportunidad de considerar los reclamos”, dijo Katrina Eiland, subdirectora del Proyecto de Derechos de los Inmigrantes de la ACLU. “Nos complace que el tribunal haya puesto la apelación en un cronograma acelerado para que pueda decidirse rápidamente, porque cada día que la administración de Biden prolonga sus esfuerzos para preservar su prohibición ilegal, las personas que huyen de un peligro grave corren riesgos”.

How to care for your child’s diabetes during the busy travel season

BY DR SHRUTI ATUL FADIA Ascension Illinois

Summer is one of the most active times of a child’s life. With youth sports, travel, outdoor play and summer camps, there’s no end to the fun to be had But if your child has been diagnosed with pediatric diabetes, there may be extra precautions and planning that need to go into a safe and healthy summer.

If you ’ re heading off to see family or to get away to the great outdoors, your summer travel starts with a plan For a start, plan to pack double the insulin and supplies as you think you might need. If your child is on an insulin pump, be sure to bring a backup method for delivering insulin, just in case of pump failure. And be sure to bring extra blood glucose test strips, even if you use a continuous glucose monitor.

Be sure to pack extra batteries and an extra pump charger and bring along plenty of cooling packs for storing your child’s insulin while out and about If you’ll be traveling across time zones, talk to your child’s provider to understand how you may need to adjust the timing of insulin doses

Additionally, check with your health insurer to understand your out-of-town coverage and purchase extra travel insurance, if needed And there are some particular precautions to take when flying:

• To avoid possible issues going through security, ask your child’s provider for a travel letter confirming their diagnosis and specifying the supplies needed to carry on the plane

• Always pack insulin and supplies in a carry-on bag to ensure supplies are always available.

• Know you ’ re allowed to carry your child’s medical supplies, including emergency juice and liquids even if greater than the typical 3 ounce limit while going through airport security.

• Remove your child’s insulin pump or continuous glucose monitor before going through the airport’s full-body scanner. Manufacturers typically don’t recommend sending these devices through the X-ray machine, but you can request a hand inspection and pat-down

• Have the contact information for your pharmacy or emergency medical care on hand

Spending time outdoors, whether run-

ning through the neighborhood or hiking a local trail, can help your child destress and learn more about the world around them And staying active with a bike ride, swim or summer sport helps with your child’s blood sugar management

But as they increase their activity, be sure they drink more water to reduce the risk of dehydration, which can lead to higher blood sugar levels Make sure they carry a water bottle wherever they go.

Getting out, turning off the electronic devices and playing with their friends leads to some of the best summer memories a child can have Just be sure they’re being safe and caring for their diabetes while doing it.

• Dr. Shruti Atul Fadia, is a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist with Ascension Medical Group Illinois, specializing in the treatment of both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, as in addition to other pediatric endocrine conditions including early puberty, growth issues and thyroid dysfunction

She sees her young patients at the Pediatric Diabetes Center at Ascension Saint Alexius in Hoffman Estates

REMOVE INSULIN pumps and continous glucose monitors before going through an airport full-body scan, or you can ask for a hand inspection.

THIS OCTOBER, MARVEL COMICS IS PROUD TO HONOR HISPANIC AND LATIN AMERICAN MONTH BY SPOTLIGHTING SOME ITS NEWER AND FANFAVORITE LATIN AND LATINX CHARACTERS.

First Hispanic woman elected to lead the DAV

Globe Newswire

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Utah native Nancy Espinosa was unanimously elected national commander of the more than 1 million-member DAV (Disabled American Veterans) today in Atlantic City, New Jersey, at the organization’s 101st national convention. The service-connected disabled Army veteran is the first Hispanic woman to hold DAV’s highest post.

“I do not take this responsibility lightly and promise to give you all my absolute best effort in this role,” Espinosa told the crowd

of more than 2,000 DAV members and supporters “I look forward to channeling the warrior spirit of my ancestors and the force of character that fills this room as we work toward our shared mission of serving veterans and their families.”

Currently a member of DAV Chapter 14 in Layton, Utah, Espinosa is the adjutant of the DAV Department of Utah and also served as past department commander and chairman of the department’s finance committee. She is also an active member of DAV’s Commanders and Adjutants Association

and a commissioner on the Utah Legislative Veterans and Military Affairs Commission

In 2014, Espinosa was awarded the Bonnie Anderson Award for Outstanding Service by the DAV Department of Utah.

“Service appeals to the best in us and the best of us, ” said Espinosa “It calls to our grit and determination. It tests us and pushes us to our limits not for glory or goods, but in service to others. It says to the underdog, ‘You are meant for something bigger than yourself.’”

Espinosa was a member of the Army

Reserve from 1975 until becoming an active-duty soldier in 1985 After four years of active service, she joined the New Mexico Army National Guard, serving until her honorable discharge in 1990.

“Commander Espinosa has earned the respect of her fellow veterans at DAV through years of dedicated service,” said DAV National Adjutant and CEO Barry Jesinoski “She’s nationally revered for her contributions to our cause and will help us tremendously as our community faces our critical legislative priorities”

F1 Academy + Fórmula 1: Un paso histórico para las mujeres

Las mujeres en el deporte no descansan en su lucha por tener la oportunidad de demostrar su nivel: Ellas también quieren correr en la F1.

Gerardo Anaya

Fronteras de la Noticia - unanimodeportes.com

La Fórmula 1 es un deporte al que solo unos pocos pilotos pueden llegar, son veinte los codiciados asientos disponibles para los muchos que buscan un lugar en la máxima categoría

En la máxima categoría del automovilismo también es sabido que, en más de setenta años de trayectoria, la participación tanto en el volante como en los directivos ha sido dominada por los hombres. Han sido pocos y aislados los casos donde se ha visto la actuación de las mujeres en la categoría reina del automovilismo, pero no por eso dejan de ser sumamente importantes

Los nombres que más destacan son: Maria Teresa de Filippis, la pionera en la Fórmula 1; Lella Lombardi, la única mujer que logró sumar puntos y disputó 17 Grandes Premios; Giovanna Amati, contemporánea del campeón mundial Damon Hill, fue la última mujer en competir en un Gran Premio desde hace más de 30 años Uno de los casos más recientes, es el de la escocesa Susie Wolff, quien tuvo un papel importante en la escudería Williams como piloto de desarrollo y algunos entrenamientos libres.

Afortunadamente, las mujeres no movieron el dedo del renglón para lograr alcanzar también siquiera una oportunidad para pelear por un asiento

En abril de este mismo año, arrancó el proyecto F1 Academy a cargo de la directora general Susie Wolff y en el que, al día de hoy, la española Marta García lidera con 235 puntos faltando únicamente la séptima ronda para concluir

Esta, es una categoría enfocada en el desarrollo y preparación profesional de mujeres pilotos con el objetivo de que también escalen a los niveles máximos del automovilismo como lo es la Fórmula 3, Fórmula 2 y, por supuesto, la Fórmula 1.

Actualmente, F1 Academy está conformada por cinco equipos (Carlin, MP Motorsport, Prema Racing, ART Grand Prix y Campos Racing), donde cada uno dispone de tres autos y tres pilotos

Pero las cosas están por cambiar, pues recientemente se ha anunciado que las diez escuderías activas en la Fórmula 1 (Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, Alpine, Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Alpha Tauri, Haas y Williams) incursionarán en la competición

Los equipos actuales conservarán su participación con tres autos y tres pilotos y a ellos se sumarán las diez escuderías antes mencionadas, nominando un piloto para su alineación.

“Este momento histórico no solo demuestra el profundo apoyo a F1 Academy de toda la comunidad de la Fórmula 1, sino que inspirará a toda una generación de chicas jóvenes a darse cuenta de las oportunidades dentro y fuera de la pista en el automovilismo”, declaró Susie Wolff en el comunicado oficial

Por otra parte, algo que “estancaba” el impulso era la falta de promoción, en lo cual, mucho tiene que ver la transmisión de las carreras para captar nuevos y fieles seguidores

La buena noticia y un paso significativo es que, la temporada se cerrará con la séptima y última ronda del campeonato que tendrá lugar en Austin, Texas del 19 al 21 de octubre, la cual se transmitirá en directo por algunas de las cadenas televisivas más importantes

COMMISSIONERS’ PARK, 81 Linda Lane in Streamwood, has been named one of Kidlist’s 10 best playgrounds

ACEITE DE ROMERO PARA EL CRECIMIENTO DEL CABELLO

Carolina Pikacho Fronteras de la Notiica - allthingshair.com

Desde estimular el crecimiento capilar hasta prevenir las canas, el aceite de romero para el cabello es un poderoso aliado natural. ¡Conoce sus beneficios!

En la búsqueda de alternativas amigables con el medioambiente, libres de químicos y amables con nuestro cuerpo, los aceites naturales son una gran solución para tratar problemas capilares específicos, como la caspa o el frizz, por ejemplo. En el caso del aceite de romero para el cabello, ¿sabías que se trata de un poderoso aliado para estimular su crecimiento y combatir la caída?

Pero eso no es todo: la planta de origen mediterráneo se ha utilizado desde la antigüedad en la cocina y también como hierba curativa por sus propiedades antioxidantes y antiinflamatorias, así que beneficia al pelo de múltiples maneras. Un estudio que John Wiley & Sons llevó a cabo hace algunos años, demuestra que el aceite de romero se encarga de reforzar la circulación sanguínea en el cuero cabelludo. De este modo, los folículos pilosos (las aberturas de la piel por donde crece el cabello), obtienen la oxigenación y suministro de sangre necesario para evitar que el ciclo de crecimiento se detenga y el pelo se caiga Por el contrario, estos se fortalecen, teniendo como resultado una melena sana y resistente

El ácido carnósico es un activo que se encuentra tanto en la hoja de romero como en la salvia, que cuenta con propiedades antioxidantes y efectos antimicrobianos. Si bien el aceite esencial de romero es un extracto altamente concentrado, diferentes pruebas científicas publicadas en la Biblioteca Nacional de Medicina de Estados Unidos muestran que este puede ser capaz de curar las terminaciones nerviosas en el cuero cabelludo para restablecer el crecimiento del cabello. Es decir, su efecto promueve el nacimiento de nuevos folículos pilosos y mejora la salud de los que se encuentran en ciclo de crecimiento. Por lo tanto, el resultado es una melena con mayor densidad y volumen, sin pérdida capilar La alopecia areata está ligada al sistema inmune y destruye los folículos pilosos, causando la pérdida capilar de forma localizada y circular. A diferencia de esta, la alopecia androgénica tiene que ver con la genética y las hormonas en el cuerpo que actúan directamente sobre los folículos pilosos, haciendo que el pelo se desprenda Se trata de una calvicie común que el aceite de romero puede evitar, por su activo protector y promotor de la circulación, según ensayos médicos recientes que comparan los efectos de este ingrediente natural con los del minoxidil, un fármaco muy popular utilizado para el tratamiento de esta afección.

Las erupciones volcánicas tienen un fuerte impacto en el clima

Las erupciones volcánicas han tenido un fuerte y persistente impacto en el clima de la Tierra durante los últimos 1.000 años y han sido determinantes incluso en los cambios en la distribución global de las precipitaciones.

Carolina Pikacho Fronteras de la Noticia - EFE

Un equipo internacional de investigadores ha corroborado que los grandes volcanes tropicales han causado algunos de los desastres naturales más demoledores de la historia del planeta, con erupciones que han producido cantidades masivas de gases nocivos y otro tipo de escombros. En el trabajo, cuyas conclusiones se han publicado en la revista Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), han participado investigadores de la Universidad Albany, la Universidad de Columbia, la Universidad Hebrea de Jerusalén y la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Los científicos ya habían comprobado que las grandes erupciones enfrían temporalmente el planeta y provocan otras alteraciones climáticas, incluidos cambios en la distribución global de las precipitaciones, y ahora han empleado archivos climáticos naturales para entender mejor los impactos hidroclimáticos globales y estacionales de todas las erupciones tropicales conocidas durante el último milenio Según ha informado hoy la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, se estima que esas alteraciones alcanzaron mayor impacto que la del monte Pinatubo en 1991, considerada como la erupción

volcánica más grande en los últimos 100 años. Los resultados han mostrado que la respuesta hidroclimática después de estas grandes erupciones fue a menudo significativa y, en ocasiones, persistió durante más de una década.

Los científicos han comprobado que las erupciones fueron seguidas por condiciones anormalmente secas que se estimaron en África tropical, Asia Central y Medio Oriente, junto con condiciones húmedas en Oceanía y las regiones monzónicas de América del Sur.

Los investigadores también compararon sus resultados con los de un modelo climático independiente y encontraron que este modelo simulaba impactos hidroclimáticos más pequeños y de corta duración.

El nuevo conjunto de datos utilizado en este estudio, denominado producto “PHYDA” (Paleo Hydrodynamics Data Assimilation) se ha creado con el apoyo del proyecto “Pire Create” de la Universidad de Albany, financiado a través de la National Science Foundation.

El producto “PHYDA” consiste en la reconstrucción global de las condiciones de temperatura e hidroclima durante los últimos 2 000 años, que se estiman combinando información de un modelo climático y una colección de registros de anillos de árboles, de corales, registros de hielo, de isótopos

centrales, de sedimentos de cuevas, registros de sedimentos de lagos y un registro de sedimentos marinos

“Los árboles y el resto de los registros de clima natural incluidos en el proyecto PHYDA estaban allí para ver estas erupciones volcánicas No es una construcción teórica”, ha explicado Jason Smerdon, profesor del Observatorio de la Tierra Lamont-Doherty de la Universidad de Columbia

Los investigadores coinciden en que la comprensión de por qué existen discrepancias entre los impactos hidroclimáticos estimados ahora y un modelo climático independiente será fundamental para proyectar cómo las futuras erupciones volcánicas pueden afectar el clima global, especialmente con los impactos adicionales del cambio climático de origen humano.

Es probable que ocurran grandes erupciones volcánicas tropicales este siglo, según los investigadores, que han advertido que sirven como una advertencia importante de que las comunidades afectadas no solo deben pensar en los impactos inmediatos, sino que las erupciones volcánicas también pueden conducir a cambios duraderos en el clima

El cantante mexicano hace temblar Buenos Aires en cada uno de sus shows. Pero se lo ve muy distinto a aquel que vino la vez anterior, en 2019 Y entonces, se echó a rodar una especulación: ¿y si no estamos frente al verdadero Luismi

Una teoría indica que Luis Miguel es reemplazado por un doble en sus recitales en Argentina

Carolina Pikacho, Fronteras de la Noticia - sinlimitesgalvez.com.ar

En un vuelo privado y acompañado por su pareja, Paloma Cuevas, Luis Miguel llegó a la Argentina el 1 de agosto para dar comienzo aquí a su gira mundial. Dos días después, el jueves 3, dio su primer show en el Movistar Arena. Repitió al día siguiente, y el domingo. Y su presencia -como era de esperar- despertó un gran furor. Pero también -y esto sí nadie lo esperaba- una teoría que asomó como descabellada en un principio, pero que con el correr de las horas fue ganando fuerza: ¿es realmente Luis Miguel quien pisó suelo argentino?

“El día del estreno no era él No era él”, enfatizó el periodista Luis Ventura en su programa Secretos Verdaderos, por América, anunciando la teoría. Y justificó sus dichos comparando la apariencia física del cantante que subió al escenario porteño en la noche del debut con aquel retratado por los paparazzi en su última aparición pública. Porque debería ser el mismo, pero -oh, sorpresa- puede que no...

Ventura -gran conocedor de la vida del músico mexicano- sacó a la luz el llamado Operativo LM, para el cual estarían trabajando dos dobles extranjeros que llegaron a Buenos Aires incluso antes que el verdadero Luis Miguel, para evitar que fueran fotografiados juntos, dejando así en evidencia esta estratagema. Habría también un tercero, argentino, a quien desde el entorno del cantante le informaron que deberá estar a disposición absoluta durante los días que el músico estuviera en el país

En este último tiempo El Sol de México realizó una dieta (basada en el ayuno intermitente) con la que adelgazó más de 20 kilos. Lo que sostie-

ne Ventura, y que se replicó en muchos usuarios de las redes sociales, contando también a quienes tuvieron la oportunidad de ir a verlo en vivo, es que quien se presentó en el primer show del Movistar Arena es un hombre “mucho más chiquito de hombros” “Cuando alguien hace una dieta no encoje los huesos, no se achica de altura”, dijo el periodista, apelando al sentido común. Pero Luis fue más allá, buscando un rigor científico que sustente su teoría: se encargó de consultar con distintos odontólogos para comparar las piezas dentales del falso Luis Miguel que cantó el jueves con las del verdadero Luis Miguel de apariciones anteriores.

Muchos coincidieron con la teoría del periodista, y volcaron sus impresiones a las redes sociales, que además se llenaron de memes, jugando con distintos parecidos El propio Marcelo Tinelli, quien asistió al recital del viernes (el segundo de los 10), compartió en su cuenta de Instagram una foto de perfil del músico y compartió algunas de sus inquietudes

Me llamó la atención que nunca hable con el público. No dice nada, solo canta. Ni hola ni chau. Nada jaja Solo canta y se va”, consideró, e invitó a sus casi 10 millones y medio de seguidores a que opinaran sobre la actitud del artista “¿Está bien que Luismi no hable y solo cante?”, preguntó y dejó las opciones por sí o por no. Y es que la nula locuacidad del mexicano abonaría esta teoría so-

bre la utilización de los dobles.

Ventura explica que los diferentes impostores de Luismi se usarían para intercalar en las distintas presentaciones, según la necesidad del músico y la consideración de sus colaboradores. De inmediato, y a partir del resto de las teorías -algunas, hasta improcedentes- que comenzaron a surgir desde su llegada al país, todos los ojos se pusieron en cada una de las presentaciones que lleva realizadas hasta el momento. Es que, además, no hay ninguna otra aparición pública suya más que sobre la que realiza en el escenario, ya sea él, o un doble.

Ojos, orejas, boca, dentadura, expresiones, movimientos: todo es observado con lujo de detalle y comparando con otras imágenes de Luis Miguel. Si bien pasaron cuatro años desde la última vez que vino a la Argentina, y aunque luego de la pandemia se lo encontró en distintas actividades o viajes por el mundo, esta es la primera vez que queda en evidencia un cambio físico notable El hermetismo del entorno de Luismi y su propio silencio -tanto frente al público como ante la negativa de dar conferencia de prensa alguna-, no hace más que incrementar una teoría que sorprendió en un principio, pero que con el correr de las horas gana popularidad. El argumento en su contra, que viene a desbaratar cualquier especulación, es muy sencillo. Y podría bramarlo cualquier fanática: Luis Miguel ¡Luis Miguel hay uno solo!

RICKY MARTIN REVELÓ CÓMO TOMARON SUS HIJOS EL FIN DE SU RELACIÓN

“Jwan y yo siempre seremos familia Tenemos dos hijos que vamos a criar juntos y esto no es de ahora. No-sotros hemos estado planificando esta situación desde hace mucho tiempo, esto es prepandémico, manifes-tó al mismo canal.

Carolina Pikacho, Fronteras de la Noticia - cosas.pe

Hace casi un mes, Ricky Martin anunció la separación de su esposo Jwan Yosef. Según revelaron en su comu-nicado, la decisión fue de común acuerdo y estaban dispuestos a mantener una buena relación por el bien de sus hijos.

Luego de hacer pública esta situación, el cantante puertorriqueño contó cómo es que le dieron la noticia a sus hijos y la reacción que tuvieron los dos pequeños, Lucía (4) y Renn (3) y los mellizos Valentino y Matteo, de 14 años

De acuerdo con lo revelado por Martin, cuando les contaron a los cuatro menores que habían tomado la de-cisión de divorciarse, ellos no podían creerlo, ya que nunca los habían visto discutir; sin embargo, lo asimila-ron bien.

Cuando Oprah les preguntó cómo responderían a acusaciones de que están siendo "codiciosos", el príncipe Harry dijo que los acuerdos con Netflix y Spotify "nunca fueron parte del plan", pero que eran necesarios

“Mis hijos nunca vieron una pelea entre Jwan y yo. Por eso es como que ¿se van a divorciar, se van a sepa-rar, ¿cómo? porque nosotros resolvíamos las diferencias con una buena conversación en nuestra habitación”, comentó Ricky a Telemundo. Asimismo, el intérprete de ´Tal vez ´ señaló que su gran apoyo son sus gemelos, quienes están más grandes y entienden mejor la situación familiar que atraviesan.

Esta misma semana Jwan Yosef declaró por primera vez sobre su separación con el cantante, pues fue abor-dado por las cámaras de un programa de espectáculos Telemundo cuando salía de su estudio de arte en Los Ángeles. Sin embargo, no reveló muchos detalles y se limitó a decir que “la familia está feliz” y que, si bien ellos terminaron su relación luego de seis años, ahora están “separados pero felices”.

Caso contrario a Ricky, quien al parecer necesitaba expresar todo lo que sintió en este proceso y dio detalles sobre el fin de su relación con el pintor sueco-sirio.

“Nos miramos a los ojos y sonreímos, y nos abrazamos y repasamos nuestros buenos momentos, así como los malos y lloramos juntos, pero también nos reímos Pero ahora, estamos mejor que nunca”, agregó. Además, resaltó que la decisión definitiva vino después de un “cuidada reflexión”. “Cuando el público se en-teró que nos estábamos divorciando ya nosotros habíamos pasado por un proceso de luto bastante sólido Estábamos firmes de que esto era lo que tenía que pasar por su bien, por mi bien y por nuestros hijos”, acla-ró. El cantante también comentó que su relación fue tan bonita que incluso el final también pudo ser así, sin tanto sufrimiento y bromeó con su expareja para que saquen un libro aconsejando cómo separarse sana-mente.

“Ha sido maravilloso. Inclusive yo le dije a Jwan que deberíamos escribir un libro de cómo se debe uno divor-ciar Es más, si alguien se está divorciando, vengan y háblenos porque nosotros tenemos ya esto cuadrado”, relató entre risas

“Ha sido mucho más fácil de lo que nosotros pensábamos, pero lo hemos hecho con tiempo y con calma”, resaltó.

También aseguró que él no le cierra las puertas al amor y espera algún día encontrar a una persona con la que pueda compartir una relación bonita “Ahora lo voy a pasar bien, lo quiero pasar bien, vamos con calma, pero yo sí me veo en otra relación. No estoy hablando en un futuro cercano, pero a mí me encanta estar enamorado. A mí me gusta estar en pareja, me gusta levantarme por la mañana, el beso matutino, el desa-yuno, la risa, la complicidad”

Qué mejor momento para anunciar un nuevo largometraje basado en la leyenda de Drácula que coincidiendo con la llegada de Nic Cage a las salas de cine como el chupasangre transilvano en la divertidísima 'Renfield'. El título en cuestión se titula 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter'

La película, casi como una suerte de 'Alien' en alta mar decimonónica, nos sube a bordo del barco ruso que transportó al vampiro de los Cárpatos a Londres adaptando el séptimo capítulo de la novela 'Drácula' de Bram Stoker. De este modo, entrará en detalle sobre los acontecimientos que ocurrieron a bordo del navío y narrará la lucha de su tripulación por sobrevivir. Al frente de la producción se encuentra el noruego André Øvredal, responsable de la notable 'La autopsia de Jane Doe' y de 'Historias de miedo para contar en la oscuridad'; quien está acompañado por un reparto en-

cabezado por Corey Hawkins, Liam Cunningham, Aisling Franciosi y David Dastmalchian, y que cuenta con nuestro Javier Botet como la criatura sedienta de sangre.

El proyecto de 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter' ha ido saltando de manos durante una larga temporada, incluyendo las de realizadores como Marcus Nispel, David Slade y un Neil Marshall al que le hubiese quedado como anillo al dedo. Sea como fuere, Øvredal tiene todas las papeletas para ofrecernos un espectáculo más que digno.

Narra la aterradora historia del buque mercante Demeter, fletado para transportar un cargamento privado desde Carpathia a Londres Durante la travesía, extraños sucesos acontecen a la condenada tripulación mientras intentan sobrevivir a una despiadada presencia a bordo del barco. Cuando el Demeter llega por fin a las costas de Inglaterra, carbonizado y abandonado, no hay rastro de la tripulación.

La legendaria banda Hombres G, que está celebrando su 40 aniversario en los escenarios, ha lanzado una nueva versión de su canción “El Ataque de las Chicas Cocodrilo” en colaboración con el grupo colombiano Morat.

La canción original, presente en el álbum “La cagaste Burt Lancaster” (1986), es un himno que ha trascendido generaciones y se ha convertido en un ícono en países de habla hispana.

Morat, por su parte, produce esta nueva versión de la canción, aportando su propio estilo al clásico de Hombres G. La letra, llena de humor y sátira sobre el acoso de los fans, ha resonado en diversas épocas y acumula más de 208 millones de streams en plataformas digitales.

La colaboración es un primer adelanto de “Del Rosa Al Amarillo”, proyecto que reunirá los grandes éxitos de Hombres G en dos LP dobles o CD, además de un tercer álbum con nuevas versiones en compañía de invitados que darán un nuevo giro artístico a las canciones.
