rack Obama and MittRomney.
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
from these countries.
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.

Projection of growth in the
beginning of the year:
2.5%; projection of growth
at the end of the year 1.5%
ast Monday the
President Funes in a
television program
“frente a frente” said the
Salvadoran
economy grow
1.5% in GDP at
the end of this
year, Funes also
reiterate that this
growth was not
the projection that
his government
made, but this is
due to several causes and
among them are the situation
that the developed countries
living, for example: USA and
certain European countries such
as Spain and others countries.
Funes also said the Salvadoran
economy will continue to grow
with these low rates while there
is no private investment, It is
why Funes defended the
package of law for attracting
private investment
that his
government has
created; now this
package is in the
hands of the
Legislature and
that's why Funes
has done a call to
the MPs to approve
this package of laws, which he
said It would help to develop
and stabilize the national
economy. Funes discarded that
the lack of private investment is
due to violence that the country
is living. Funes also said that El
Salvador to comparison
between others countries in
C.A., It is only above to
Nicaragua in the daily murder
rate, so the president Funes
attributed other causes so that
the private sector does not
invest in the country. President

These Elections are not only from the popular vote. The election of the president is made by the Electoral College only 270 of the 538 are enough to win the presidency.
The next President of United States by: Gabriela Serrano This November 6th were the Presidential elections in United States between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, this has been a very hard campaign. 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.
Barack Obama makes the Empire State blue

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.
