Abstinence and Fidelity

In the United States, there is ongoing research aimed at finding strategies that may help discourage sexual relations in order to reduce the spread of AIDS to that extent.

Obese Children

“The best condiment for food is hunger” - Cicerón

(MADRID) - The main problems that concern child obesity are cardiovascular and medical. Nonetheless, an even greater dilemma exists, cancer. According to a published study by Cell Magazine, overweight acts as a promoter of tumors in general and in the liver in particular.

The children of today will live for a fewer amount of years and with a worse quality of life than did their grandparents, due to the problematic consequences derived from obesity and passivity – according to the press President of the Organizing Committee of the European Society Congress of Endocrinology and Nutrition.

Infant Hours

What does too much time in front of the TV mean for kids in the long run?

(MADRID) - It is not wrong to spend hours in front of the T.V. What is wrong is the social passivity that reality has created; it does not know how to look for other ways to spend its leisure time. This represents an empirical example of something that is not working. In principle, it seems as if reading, discussions, family time, friend reunions and studies are things of another world.

This issue becomes somewhat critical when the ones to be affected are children that spend too much time in front of the television.

On the internet, we call it “collective death pacts”, which are becoming an epidemic among the Japanese youth.

Olvera Street and the Threat from Los Angeles

LA's Monument Commission seems bent on destroying the city's most important history.

(LOS ANGELES) - The birthplace of Los Angeles is under threat of financial siege and elimination over a move from city bureaucrats who according to records, are operating in violation of a 1999 City Council Mandate.

The Deadly Virus
