Remembering Bernadette
one year after his departure

Paying tribute to one year since his physical departure, family and friends attended a Mass offered on April 23 at St. Vincent Catholic Church in the city of Margate.

It should be remembered that Bernadette was President of the Church's Legion of Mary and was active in her community by organizing the popular Three Kings Festival for the resident children of Margate and members of the Parish, as well as in various activities of the Legion in Broward County.

But, on April 25, just days after the Mass in his honor was celebrated, Father Volmar Scaravelli, of Brazilian origin, who had the honor of presiding over it, died of a heart attack. Father Scaravelli had also given the blessing to the legionnaire in her Hospice bed, Glorita, and who is still clinging to life.

Peace to the Remains of Bernadette and Father Scaravelli!

University of Miami Graduates Most Hispanic Psychologists in Florida

It is unfortunate that on the path of life we meet from time to time with people given over to the most obsessive extremism, without seriously realizing the self-flagellation they cause themselves while lacerating others. And it is that the extremist fanatics speak incessantly about the arguments contained in their considerations and beliefs, as if the momentary audience that makes them an involuntary choir -many times taken at random in shopping malls and other crowded places-, militated in their own institutions. : political, religious, or from various administrative levels of another tenor. It is incredible then to observe a group of people who, without verifiable evidence, let themselves be carried away by emotions while the fanatic lecturers empty their bombastic verbiage and histrionic skills -sometimes outdated- in any conversation that comes their way, supposedly between friends or recently acquaintances.

Abuse of any kind that comes into your life, either from another person or from yourself, is considered an assault on life, the law of God and society. Abuse, in its absolute and unworthy capacity to reach the limits of the human being, has the power to destroy from the destruction of the mind to the death of the spirit.

I'm argentine. I was born in Buenos Aires a few years ago, but I must admit that until I came to live here, in the United States, I was not very aware of my Hispanic identity.

Humanity is experiencing a very disturbing crisis that puts it in danger of disappearing or at least in the immediate future with terrible and painful consequences for the lives of billions of people throughout the planet.

The benefits of sunbathing for the heart, mood and immune system
(and for how long it is recommended to do it)

Basically, without direct sunlight, our bodies cannot produce vitamin D, a substance that performs a number of important functions in our bodies.
Everyone knows the importance of sunscreen. But the truth is that our bodies need sun.
Sunlight can improve our mood, lower blood pressure, strengthen our bones, muscles, and even our immune system. And a brief exposure is enough to reap all these benefits.
 
the power of the sun
"When the sun shines on the skin, the radiation hits a molecule of 7-dehydrocholesterol. It converts the 7-dehydrocholesterol into previtamin D.  It then takes several minutes for previtamin D to convert to vitamin D. It's your body temperature that does this second transformation," explains Ann Webb, professor of atmospheric radiation at the University of Manchester, UK.
We need vitamin D, for example, for our bodies to absorb calcium and phosphate from food; both minerals are vital for healthy bones, teeth, and muscles. And it doesn't matter your age.  A recent study even showed that taking vitamin D improved muscle strength in athletes, possibly by stimulating muscle cell growth.
But the benefits of vitamin D go beyond strengthening our bones and muscles.
"There appears to be some evidence that it contributes to the immune system, as well as helping to protect against some forms of cancer and autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis," adds Webb.
Research also shows that people with very low levels of vitamin D have a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and dementia. Vitamin D is so essential to our survival that it may help explain the appearance of fair skin.
When our ancestors left Africa, they had dark skin to protect themselves from the high incidence of sunlight in the region. But as they expanded into the cooler, darker Northern Hemisphere, their skin became lighter through evolution, probably because they had adapted to needing less sunlight to make vitamin D. The further north you go, the lighter it tends to be. to be skin tone, with the exception of the Inuit of the far north, who traditionally get their vitamin D by eating seal meat and fatty fish.

Equality Day 
Women's 
it's about voting

Women's Equality Day was on August 26. That was the day in 1920 when the 19th Amendment, giving women the right to vote, was certified and became part of the United States Constitution. However, August 26 was not designated "Women's Equality Day" until 1973, when Congress passed the law, due to Rep. Bella Abzug's advocacy.
Representative Abzug's push for this day was not just about voting rights, but also about continuing the fight for women's equality in general. A fight that women must continue even today, almost 50 years later, as we watch women's rights erode, one law or court decision at a time! The Equal Rights Amendment, first introduced in 1923, is not yet part of our Constitution. Voting is a way to express your opinion about our leaders.
The good news is that in our 2022 election cycle here in Broward County, women have almost reached parity with men. The total number of female candidates for the US House of Representatives, Florida House and Senate, County Commission, School Board, County and Circuit Court is 60 vs. 68 male candidates . This does not mean that women are better candidates than men, but it does mean that more women are willing to participate in the electoral process. Standing in front of the world as a political candidate, even in a nonpartisan office, is no easy task. We applaud both women and men for being candidates.
August 23 was the first half of the 2022 election cycle. Voter turnout was disappointing, but not surprising, as many voters simply don't consider the so-called primary election to be important. This is a false assumption, as most members of the Broward County Senate and House of Representatives have already been elected, as have all but one of the county commissioners!
Get ready to vote on November 8 and then do it: VOTE! Many people have forgotten how close the gubernatorial race was in 2018. The difference in votes between the candidates was only 32,643. The number of registered voters in Broward County who did NOT vote in the election was 454,735. Yes, those are the correct numbers!
If you need to register to vote or update your current voter registration, do so now at www.RegisterToVoteFlorida.gov. New voter registrations must be completed by midnight on October 11 in order to vote on November 8.
