- Pope Francis on Saturday travels to once notorious as the stomping grounds of drug lord Pablo Escoba
Pope Francis on Saturday travels to Medellin, once notorious as the stomping grounds of drug lord Pablo Escobar, to find a city transformed since his predecessor Pope John Paul visited in 1986. Violence between cartels, paramilitary groups and guerrillas raged in the poor ‘comuna’ neighborhoods on its outskirts and the late pontiff was moved to decry drug violence. Instead, Francis is expected to honor the commitment and sacrifice of those who dedicate themselves to religious vocations when he says mass for a crowd expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people near an airport. He also visits a home for children who were victims of violence and addresses priests, nuns, seminarians and their families at the La Macarena bullring. In the 1980s and early 1990s, violence between cartels, paramilitary groups and guerrillas raged in the poor ‘comuna’ neighborhoods on its outskirts and the visiting pontiff was moved to decry drug violence. The city is now heralded as a model of urban development. It has installed cable cars up the steep Andean slopes that surround it to save working-class residents a punishing climb home and built libraries in neighborhoods once host to gun battles. Feared drug trafficker Escobar, Medellin’s most infamous resident, was gunned down in the city in a U.S.-backed operation in 1993. He was recently resurrected as a character in the popular Netflix series Narcos. During his visit to the city, Francis will highlight those who choose the habit and the cassock over secular careers, as the number of new entrants to vocations in the Roman Catholic Church has slumped. At the La Macarena meeting, Francis will also pray before the relics of Mother Laura Montoya, a nun who was the first female Colombian saint. Montoya was a teacher and prolific author who hosted classes in her own home when the 1895 civil war forced schools to close. The leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Roman Catholics has brought a message of national reconciliation as the country tries to heal the wounds left by the conflict and bitter disagreements over a peace deal with guerrillas agreed last year. On Friday in the tropical city of Villavicencio, he urged Colombians skeptical of a the deal with the FARC guerrillas to be open to reconciliation with those who have repented, speaking hours after a top rebel leader asked the pontiff for forgiveness. He visits the city of Cartagena on Sunday before leaving for Rome that night. #JuliaSymmesCobb #PabloEscobar #PopeFrancis #Medellin #Colombia
- The most powerful Atlantic storms of the a century that killed 58 people is expected to hit Florida
Southern Florida highways are underway by the massive evacuation with panicked residents emptying the gas stations. The most powerful Atlantic storms of the a century is expected to hit Florida Keys on Sunday morning as a Category 5 hurricane bringing massive damage from wind and flooding to the fourth largest state by population. Hurricane Irma with its devastating high winds has killed until now more than 58 people in eastern Caribbean, Cuba and the Bahamas and has let catastrophic destruction in its wake. “We are running out of time. If you are in an evacuation zone, you need to go now. This is a catastrophic storm like our state has never seen. The storm’s effects would be felt from coast to coast in the state.” Governor Rick Scott told reporters today. “Irma was a storm of absolutely historic destructive potential,” U.S. President Donald Trump said in a videotaped statement and called on people to heed recommendations from government officials and law enforcement. Hurricane Irma passed over Cuba’s northern coast and the central Bahamas. Went on the Turks and Caicos Islands, and then crossed by the northern edges of the Dominican Republic and Haiti. Cuban television broadcast footage of the sea flooding coastal towns in the eastern provinces of Guantanamo and Holguin, with waves reaching 20 feet (6 meters). Irma was forecast to bring dangerous storm surges of up to 20 feet (6 meters) to the southeastern and central Bahamas, and up to 10 feet (3 meters) on parts of Cuba’s northern coast. The storm was downgraded from a rare Category 5, the top of the scale of hurricane intensity, to a Category 4 early Friday but it still carried winds as strong as 155 mph (250 kph), the NHC said. #FloridaKeys #Atlanticstorms #Category5hurricane #HurricaneIrma #PresidentDonaldTrump #Cuba #Caribbean #Bahamas

- Menopause the biggest mystery in a woman’s life
Menopause, one of the biggest mysteries in a woman’s path, arrives as the "reward" of her contribution to the family , and as the door towards a new life phase, to regeneration. Such ringing bell indicate that time has come for a woman to take care a little more of herself and her body. Unfortunately life changes in some cases arrive with lots of troubles. So does the menopause phase in women’s life, it shows up with different symptoms such as poor sleep, hot flashes, or vaginal dryness and memory problems. Scientifically, is approved that lack of hormones doesn’t cause the flushing or sleeping problems but unconscious acts does . Malnutrition such as large or inadequate meals, spicy foods, alcohol, caffeine, or anxiety, and the warm environment, especially a few hours before going to bed, can cause lots of issues. For not turning anxiously in bed all night, we can have a hot drink at evening, such as a cup of chamomile tea, or a glass of warm milk - coconut, almond or oat milk. If you wake up in the middle of the night and you can’t sleep because of hot flashes and night sweats, you better get out of bed and start breathing slowly and deeply until you fall asleep again. Remember to use your cool and quiet bedroom only for sleeping or sex. As for vaginal dryness, the best way to face it is affection and love for our partner . Since our children have grown up, our partner’s role in life has changed, from a Father to a Man Ready for Everything . Devotion to husband helps retain the essential moisture into the vagina and improves the sexual life of the couple. Physical activities and exercises are good solution to any kind of problem. And of course, suddenly in our fifties, we don’t need to start running for many miles. A brisk walk or some yoga exercises in the gym are enough for renewal. Some women, during the menopause phase start complaining of memory problems. Studies show that natural menopause has little or almost no effect, in mind dysfunction . However, to protect ourselves from brain disease, such as dementia or Alzheimer's, it’s safer not to use menopausal hormones which have harmful side effects. To reduce the stress degree it’s necessary to avoid the many tasks or obligations that we are used to overload our daily lives with. Good nutrition, exercises and well sleep are key elements to a healthy life . Poor metabolism, probably due to mild depression symptoms, usually causes weight-gain. It is scientifically proven that adopting a healthy diet, rich in fruits, vegetables and legumes protects us from many menopause symptoms and optimizes our health. Expose ourselves daily for several minutes to the morning sun helps strengthen vitamin D levels which help calcium absorption. If we need Potassium we’ll find it mainly in fruits and vegetables such as oranges, bananas, carrots and broccoli. Magnesium, another important supplement, is found in potatoes and nuts. Phytoestrogens are found in flaxseed, in linseed oil, tofu, sesame and garlic. Until we acquire the habits of a healthy lifestyle, we can use the black cohosh herb (member of Ranunculaceae family) as an instant solution to hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause. Menopause is a good reminder that is time to nurture and enjoy a quality lifestyle. #Menopause #contributiontofamily #hormones
- A new Hurricane is expected to thrash Florida on Saturday
A new Hurricane eye, so-called Irma, since early on Wednesday is hitting Caribbean islands with the potentially crashing the Florida's shore on Saturday, reported the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami. The 5 storm Category packing winds of 185 miles per hour (295 km per hour), is expected to become the second powerful storm to thrash the U.S. mainland in as many weeks after devastating Hurricane Harvey, but its precise trajectory remained uncertain. Let's hope that Hurricane Irma can just pass thorough U.S. East Coast without any damages in people or of their home. “It’s very scary ... most of the islands are dark so it’s a very, very frightening,” said Garfield Burford, the director of news at ABS TV and Radio on the island of Antigua. “We are hunkered down and it is very windy ... the wind is a major threat. So far, some roofs have been blown off.” he said. Most people in Antigua and Barbuda were without power and about 1,000 people were spending the night in shelters in Antigua, according to Burford. The amount of damage and the number of casualties were not known early on Wednesday. A 75-year-old man died while preparing for the storm in Puerto Rico’s central mountains, police said. #HurricaneIrma #Caribbeanislands #Florida #HurricaneHarvey
- What if our partner makes mistakes?
When it comes to relationship advice, pretty much, the word “trust” will come up. In fact, in our society, trust has come to be up there with “love” and “loyalty” as far as traits that make a successful relationship. Trust that our loved ones won’t cheat on us? That’s certainly important; we can’t build a healthy relationship while simultaneously getting offended every time that they talk to someone of the gender or genders they’re interested in. Trust that our loved ones won’t hurt us intentionally or excessively. Trusting them not to do something stupid just because you don’t want to see them get hurt. Not to put their foot in their mouth. Trusting them not to make mistakes or royally f*ck things up in their own lives. Are these sort of trusts important? You might worry about them a lot, because they matter to you, and their happiness and well-being matter to you. And we know that everyone, once in a while, makes mistakes. You might start to think, if you can help them just avoid those mistakes beforehand, tell them what to do and how to act now before anyone gets hurt. But what if your partner will make mistakes; we all do, after all. We all say stupid things from time to time and make the wrong decision. We all lose friends or jobs or pride. It happens. And that’s the point; it happens to all of us. We make mistakes so that we can learn from them. We say stupid things so that we can realize that they’re stupid and not say them again. We make the wrong decision so that we can realize that it’s the wrong decision and fix it later. At the end of the day, when we try to tell our partners what to do and how to act, it doesn’t truly help them to grow as people, but leaves them stagnant, relying on you to tell them right from wrong, and that is not a healthy way to lead a life. We need to at least trust our loved ones to have the ability to navigate their way through it. Have faith in their abilities, because they are much more capable than we might even realize. #CiaraHall #relationships #Love #mistakes
- The DACA, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, program is expected to end today.
New York and Washington State on Monday vowed to sue President Donald Trump if he scraps a program shielding from deportation immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children. Nine Republican state attorneys general announced they would file suit on Tuesday September 5 if Trump did not end the program. While the attorney general of Washington State, Bob Ferguson, threatened in a statement legal action. “I will use all the legal tools at my disposal to defend the thousands of Dreamers in Washington State.” Ferguson, was one of 20 attorneys general who wrote to Trump in last July to say that if he ended the program, they would defend it “by all appropriate means.”, Today the Trump administration is expected to announce the end of Dreamers program and give the U.S. Congress six months to craft legislation to replace it. Today at 11 a.m. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions will announce plans for ending the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, but will not take questions, the Justice Department said yesterday. “The president’s action would upend the lives of hundreds of thousands of young people who have only ever called America their home.” said Andrew Cuomo, the New York Governor. DACA is a policy created by former President Barack Obama that protects nearly 800,000 young people, often called “Dreamers,” from deportation and allows them to work legally. Under the shift Trump is considering, any Dreamer with a valid work permit would be able to remain in the United States until the permit expires, in the absence of congressional action, sources familiar with the matter said. #DACA #DonaldTrump #NewYork #Washington #BobFerguson #Dreamers

- Hurricane Harvey damage at up to $180 billion
The governor of Texas said, the disaster for Hurricane Harvey had caused up to $180 billion in damage. Harvey, the most powerful hurricane in last 50 years had hit Texas on August 25, and killed 50 people, displaced more than 1 million and damaged 200,000 homes in a path of destruction stretching for more than 300 miles (480 km). According to Texas Governor, Greg Abbott, Hurricane Harvey is more costly than Hurricanes Katrina or Sandy, which devastated New Orleans in 2005 and New York in 2012. Katrina set the record by costing U.S. taxpayers more than $110 billion. In advocating for funds to help rebuild his state, Abbott said damage from Harvey would exceed that. Nine days after the storm hit Texas, in Washington DC the U.S. Treasury Secretary, Steven Mnuchin challenged Congress to raise the government’s debt limit in order to free up relief. “Without raising the debt limit, I am not comfortable that we will get money to Texas this month to rebuild,” Mnuchin told Fox News. The administration of President Donald Trump has asked Congress for an initial $7.85 billion for recovery efforts, a fraction of what will eventually be needed. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said the city expected most public services and businesses to be restored by Tuesday, the first day after Monday’s Labor Day holiday. Even so, Houston mandated the evacuation of thousands of people on the western side of town on Sunday to accommodate the release of water from two reservoirs that otherwise might sustain damage. The storm stalled over Houston, dumping more than 50 inches (1.3 m) on the region.
