Eviction in the heart of San

Salvador

“We are intervening in the backbone of the insecurity of the

downtown” Irvin Rodriguez

By: Flor de María Monge

The last October 26th

the

downtown of San Salvador was

one more time witness of an act of

violence. The CAM agents and

people from mayoralty prepared

themselves and the machines for

the eviction. The sellers of the Arce

Street were removed to night from

their sales places for the UMO

agents and the Police. The Police

fight with supposed sellers that had

handmade grenades. The operative

took away more than 100 informal

sales; some of them were there 15

years ago. At 9:00 p.m. the

supposed sellers burned the stands,

trash trying to stop the 600 UMO

agents. Them someone opened fire

and started throwing stones to the

authority. 25 people were

wounded, 8 were CAM agents and

two were wounded for bullet shots.

At 11:00 p.m. Howard Cotto said

that the authority had the control all

ready in 16 blocks around the Arce

Street. Some thief took advance of

the situation and steal the products

of the legal stands but them were

caught for the Police, but they keep

saying that they did not do

National

anything. The owners of the

stands were hidden inside of

them for avoid the eviction and

protect their products but they

finish been caught there because

the unrest was a disaster outside.

Step by step the police was

making space for the machines

could work and demolish the

stands made of iron and ceramic

floor. The most of sellers present

their cases to the Human Rights

arguing that they had paid more

than $1000 for those stands. In

many locations in different times

the UMO got to use tear gas to

can get the control of the

situation. One person resulted

electrocuted and was moved to a

place where she could be attend.

“The Price of development”

When we talk about the development, many times we think it

is always good and easy for everybody but that is not the case

of the sellers that were removed this last October 26th. After

fifteen years of working there many people were brutally

removed, taking away their money source and with that, their

food, their house, their hope, and maybe the education of their

children. The mayor is looking for the welfare of everybody

but, what is the price of that development?

The new face of San Salvador If you are one of thousands of people

that use to pass through the

downtown every day, you are one of

the thousands of people that do not

recognize the Arce Street. From the

of the unrests of those last days these

street look like an abandoned village,

like an hurricane would pass and

destroyed everything, that is why the

mayor Norman Quijano is called “El

Huracan Quijano”. After the repairs

and the remodeling, of the

downtown, the people hope a good

answer after all. The others evections

that have taken place have had good

resolves after a time, the downtown looks more organized but the sellers continued been affected.

Fomilenio invested $278

millions in the construction of

253 km from the “Longitudinal

del Norte” highway.

omilenio is a project

created by MCC; its goal

is to support third world

countries reached a

development that will raise the

quality of life to the people

El Salvador five years ago was

selected for this program, as a

benefit for the U.S. government.

This project which would be

managed and implemented by

the Government of El Salvador,

It has developed in the north

area of the country mainly in

the departments of

Chalatenango, Cabañas, and

Morazán. This project has had

duration of five years, which to

date have been met, leaving a

great benefit and development

to the north of the country.

Among the projects that

Fomilenio has supported are

building the "Longitudinal del

Norte” highway, agriculture

and education, these are the

main projects that Fomilenio

has maintained.

Fomilenio has benefited to 850

thousand people, with an

estimated investment of 460

millions dollars, the investment

made by this project has

brought hope to the people in

the north of the country.

Fomilenio has made

great contributions in the

area of education, including

building schools, funding

scholarships and supports

educational programs, among

them the support given to the

“Fundacion Kriete” and Its

educational program

"Oportunidades", which opens

with the funds that Fomilenio

has allocated to them; the funds

are approximately $ 4 million,

with this the “Oportunidades”

program will continue the

project which was already

running at the same time expand

the project to more departments

of El Salvador, this program

consists of training

opportunities to children and

teens in the academic areas of

English, Computer Science,

Mathematics and values, and to

qualify for college scholarships

for which students are prepared

for the training of three years.

This Fomilenio has successfully

completed five years of social

investment in El Salvador by

which El Salvador has had the

opportunity to seek a second

Fomilenio which the

government would be invested

in the Salvadoran coast area.

the end of this

reiterate that this

growth was not

According to Univision.com “the tie, said the Washington Post on Sunday also is seen among independent voters, even those not registered as Democrats and / or Republicans. Until last month, that figure was not reflected in the samples.”

Both candidates came with a very hard percentage of 48%-49% of preferences in each

one of them in one of the most hard-fought elections in the United States. The country is divided in two making of this a

very hard decision.

A time ago both candidates made debates to gain votes and ensure the presidency and have the confidence of the North American people.

What is the electoral college? An electoral college is process it is composed by 538 integrants and consists in the election of the people who will be the candidates for the presidency or the vice-presidency; these take place every four years.

esearchers at Stanford

University (USA) have

approved the 'method

Vampire', revealing that the

young blood could stimulate

cell growth and reverse the

effects of old age in an

organism.

A team of scientist began to

prove this theory and they

formed two groups of animals,

one of whom were juveniles,

while the other had older.

After that, the scientists did

blood transfusion to young mice

aged. Then his brain studied and

performed various tests, and

found that old animals given

doses of young blood made it

through the test with the same

success as the young, while

older mice that did not receive a

donation from that biological

material got bad results.

From a biological standpoint,

the young blood caused a huge

effect on the brain, stimulating

the growth of new cells. It also

increased the number and

strength of neuronal

connections in an area of the

brain where new cells do not

grow.

In addition, the muscles of mice

were strengthened and

improved the liver and immune

system. Villeda argues that

young blood active chemical

components with age stop

reproducing in the body. The

researchers note that in humans

the effect may be different, so it

is necessary to conduct more

experiments.

Currently scientists do tests,

introducing young blood into

mice suffering from

Alzheimer's disease, to see if

the biological material can

combat cognitive impairment

caused by the disorder. The

study was presented at the

conference of the Society for

Neuroscience.

Improve the education with the self-confidence.

The increase of the

educational investment

from Latin America’s

governments have let an

increase in the quality of

children that assist to the

school, the coverage has

expanded to the rural zones

and rates of sudden drop and

repetition have diminished.

Even though, as the

“Informe de progreso

educativo en America Latina

(2006)”, about the quality,

equity and efficiency, the

progress continue been

scarce despite the enforce

that them have done to

improve the education in

Latin America. Year by year

the low levels of learning

and population of teachers

have not translated great

changes of the educational

practices into the classroom..

Taking in consideration that

the process of teaching-

learning is so big and has

many dimensions, the lines

of intervention could be for

different directions. However

when intended improve the

quality of education, the

spotlight most be the

classroom, because is the

space where obtains the most

contact with the learning

subject: the student. There is

where the teachers and

students relate, where the

source of knowledge is.

Finishing the process

teaching-learning from the

classroom, most take in

consideration: a) the

instructive, ergo, the training

through the scientific logic

(that what includes the

intellectual development and

the knowledge learning) b)

the educational, ergo, the

development of convictions,

the will and other elements

(includes values, qualities

and feelings). That is how

born the necessity of

examine the biggest factors

about the learning level of

the students inside the

relationship that make with

their teachers.

In this field, self-efficacy

becomes important to the

academic success and the

educational development of

the students because regulate

the motivational, intellectual

and affective process into the

classroom. The ideas around

the persecution of personal

effectiveness were studied

and developed thanks that in

1977 el psychologist Albert

Bandura, support the term

self-efficacy for making

reference to: “the own

believes in the capacity to

organized and run the action

course to manage the future

situations”. Inside the

classroom , those perceptions

that have on the own

capacity, becomes

indispensable in the

continuity of the wished

academic resolves.

The academy self-efficacy is

a mediator variable between

the none have the capacity

and obtained goals for the

students, let more domain on

the social reality of the

classroom when those self-

assessments are firm. In

other words, not only the

“real” capacity determinate

the success of the students;

but aldo the opinions that

have about them, as them

move the effort to fight o

give up in the face of the

challenge and scholar

requirements. Thinking they

are able, the students can

look for more opportunities

to get a more use of the

teacher’s instructions. But

thinking they are not able

they can show themselves

insecure doing homework,

little motivated, negating to

improve, anxious of commit

mistakes and give up easily.

For that is necessary

motivate those believes of

self-efficacy in the

relationship teacher-student.

Adding, considerate that the

self-efficacy stud and the

teacher’s training with their

basic precepts is an certain

enforce to improve the

learning quality. Their deep

comprehension could orient

the creation of a better

experience into the teaching-

learning process in the

school trough the teaching

practices. Through the

believes of self-efficacy will

motivate the instructive and

the educative. The resolve is

comprehensive academic of

the subject of learning.

The padlocks of love

By: Alisson Góngora

The padlocks of Love are a tradition of lovers, in countries like Italy, Rome and France. This is about put a padlock with the name of the couple and throw away the key like a symbol of love and eternity. This idea was created by the literary phenomenon of Federico Moccia,

which was first literature, and then film until it’s became a tradition.

But in some places very famous authorities do not let the person put the padlock because they believe it is disrespectful.
