“Colombia report

Six year’s after Colombia’s government announced the construction of new prisons, this initiative is marred by corruption allegations and the failure to deliver two thirds of the promised prison cells.

According to newspaper El Tiempo, a director of the Prison Services Unit, Maria Cristina Palau, was removed from her post amid claims she had received a $200,000 bribe.

The bribe was allegedly made after another director announced that the unit would seek the privatization of a number of prisons.” http://www.thebigproject.co.uk/news/

EasyJet in forced landing as ‘smell event’ overcomes co‑pilot

An easyJet flight to London with more than 100 people on board made an emergency landing after the co-pilot, a stewardess and some passengers were overcome by what the airline described as a “smell event”.

Flight EZY2278 from Palma, Mallorca, to Luton on October 3 was forced to divert to Paris where paramedics met the aircraft and the first officer was taken away in an ambulance. Asked if this was an “aerotoxic incident” caused by fumes, easyJet said: “No, this was a smell event and we do not categorise any event as aerotoxic. This is not a classification easyJet uses.”

 

the airline should not overshadow what would have been a disgrace. an investigation should be opened for what happened also to deprive the passengers.

Thirty years to the day after Britain was devastated by the “Great Storm” it faces another battering at the hands of a hurricane, with winds of up to 90 mph and waves 40 ft high beating western coasts.

Back in 1987, Met Office forecaster Michael Fish reassured the nation that there was no chance of being hit by a hurricane — only to see winds of 115 mph hit the southeast, killing 18 people, destroying 15m trees and disrupting road and rail links.

This year the approach of Hurricane Ophelia has prompted the Met Office to issue multiple storm and flood alerts covering Cornwall, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland’s west coast and much of northern England. Even Michael Fish, now working for another weather forecaster, has issued his own…

undoubtedly the climatic reactions nowadays are tried to guess but we know that nature is indomitable we always have to have the necessary safety measures to face any disaster.

Household GAS suspended in Cimitarra, Zapatoca and El Playón

Seismology Observatory to be installed in Santander
http://www.elfrente.com.co/web/index.php?ecsmodule=frmstasection&ida=57&idb=95&idc=16338
The observatory will allow the monitoring of the seismic activity through the network of eight accelerographs, which are small boxes with sensors responsible for recording the accelerations in three dimensions. In this way, soil responses are obtained, the periods are evaluated, wave modifications are established and the way the soil responds to the movement and the possible damage that can be generated in the infrastructure is identified.

"The development of this project is interdisciplinary, as it brings together programs such as Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Systems Engineering, Geology and Software Engineering. In this way we can articulate the academy and generate research products, "said Nadia Fernanda Mantilla, director of the UDES Environmental Engineering Program
MY OPINION

Is a very important event for Santander and for the whole population, it generates a little more tranquility, allows us to be more attentive to any event and because not a little better prepared and trained before any eventuality.

PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Tom Westerman voted for Donald Trump in last year’s election but says he might not do so again after the president cut off billions of dollars in Obamacare subsidies to health insurance companies.

Westerman’s change of heart reflects mounting fears among middle-class Democrats and Republicans that their health insurance costs will soar as Trump weakens former President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law, which extended insurance to more than 20 million Americans.

Trump said last week he would stop paying the monthly subsidies, which he has derided as a bailout of insurers. The money reimburses insurers for discounts on deductibles, copays and other out-of-pocket costs the firms still must provide under Obamacare to low-income households.

Some insurers, anticipating that Trump would end the funding, had already raised 2018 premiums on insurance plans under Obama’s Affordable Care Act to recoup those funds.

In addition to cutting subsidies, Trump signed an executive order last week that could eventually make it easier for Americans to buy cheaper, bare-bones health insurance plans than required by Obamacare.

The moves created new uncertainty over the subsidies, just two weeks before Americans begin to enroll in Obamacare plans for 2018.

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-trump-effect-healthcare-subsidies/some-middle-class-americans-worry-trump-health-subsidies-cut-will-hurt-idUSKBN1CO1HV
My Opinion: It is clear that for President Trump money is more important than the health of Americans. It seems that for the simple fact of being a law made by former President Barack Obama he just wants to end it. Unfortunately those who suffer most are the middle class and even worse the lower class.
2. 'They attack us just for being who we are': trans life in Colombia – video

Being openly trans in Colombia is dangerous. The country ranks fourth in the world for the murder of transgender people. Across Latin America, the life expectancy of trans women – due to violence, poverty and the risk of HIV – is estimated at between 35 and 41 years. Attitudes are slowly beginning to change, however, as trans men and women speak out against attacks and discrimination

Anthony Joshua's mum has explained why she doesn't watch her world heavyweight champion son's fights.

AJ defeated Wladimir Klitschko in a thrilling contest in front of 90,000 people to unify the heavyweight titles.

But his mother Yeta Odusanya refuses to watch and has revealed how she arranged a surprise party for AJ ahead of the Wembley showdown.

"Nobody wants to see their son in a fight," Odusanya said on the BBC One documentary Anthony Joshua: The Fight of My Life. "I’ve only ever been to two.

"It’s too emotional and nerve-wracking. As a Mum, you feel for your child.

"He’s a blessing to the family and an inspiration to the younger ones."

AJ has explained how his mother still doesn't quite understand the sweet science, but has discovered just how beneficial it has been in teaching the former Olympic champion so much.

My Opinion: I think tha can be hard for a mother to see how her son is beaten, but it's a sport that needs respect.
