Es seguro usar un repelente de insectos que contiene DEET? ------------------------ source: http://www.thetimesinplainenglish.com/zika-mosquito-protection-for-pregnant-women/ Zika Mosquito Protection for Pregnant Women Some yellow-fever mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus will arrive here this summer. They will arrive first along the Gulf Coast. Then they will spread to other parts of the country. Health officials are urging people to use insect repellents with DEET. Users of repellents are less likely to suffer bites from mosquitoes. There appears to be a clear link between the Zika mosquito and birth defects. That raises the question for pregnant women. Is it safe to use an insect repellant that contains DEET? The answer is yes. As long as the instructions are followed and you do not use too much. Few studies looked at the way DEET affects pregnant women. There are no studies of women while they are in the first trimester of their pregnancy. During the first trimester is when most birth defects occur. But experts are quite certain DEET is safe. A doctor said, “It makes sense to use DEET to protect yourself. Because we know Zika is truly unsafe.” A study did say that DEET rarely made its way to the mother’s placenta. The study said that the newborns were not affected. They had normal growth and development after exposure to DEET. An official with the U.S. government commented. He said, “DEET is safe, including for pregnant women at any stage of pregnancy.” The advice is to use lower concentrations of DEET. A doctor said, “Using a 6 percent DEET product will last two hours. A 20 percent one will last close to four hours. Why not use the lower concentration and apply more often?” Products that use DEET include “Cutter,” “Off!” and “Repel.” Please read and follow the instructions.

En muchos estados se puede llevar una pistola para matar a alguien 3/3 El asesinato des hombres negros desarmados por la policia fui el comienzo del atropello. Estos asesinatos no parecía que fueron necessarios para la seguridad del público o del oficial. Es era sólo el asunto de tiempo antes de que la venganza se convertió en la respuesta des mentes desequilibradas. El movimiento 'Las Vidas Negras Importan' era una forma de protesta pacífico. Todos los movimientos atraen a gente marginales. Algunos manifestantes quieren perturbar. Algunas personas quieren usar el movimiento para las razones políticas. Guardar las armas de las manos de la gente que odio suficiente para matar no va a ocurrir. Que va a detener esta furia de continuar? La policia, la comunidad, y los líders de la nación deberán a tomar la iniciativa. Un espíritu nuevo deberá a filtrar a través de las comunidades. La campaña electoral es una oportunidad para es a empezar. ------------------------- The killings of unarmed black men by police were the beginning of outrage. These killings did not look like they were necessary for the safety of the public or the officer. It was just a matter of time before revenge became the response of unbalanced minds. The Black Lives Matter movement was a form of peaceful protest. All movements attract fringe people. Some protestors want to disrupt. Some want to use the movement for political reasons. Keeping weapons out of the hands of people who hate enough to kill is not going to happen. What is to stop this madness from continuing? The police, the community, and the nation’s leaders will have to take the lead. A new spirit will have to filter through communities. The election campaign is a chance for it to begin. source: http://www.thetimesinplainenglish.com/in-many-states-you-can-carry-a-gun-to-kill-someone/

En muchos estados puede llevar una pistola para matar á alguien 2/3 La segunda enmienda es un parte de la Constitución Americano. Es trata del "derecho a portar armas". Los estados tienen sus leyos proprias. Algunos estados, como Nueva York, han limitado el derecho. Algunos estados, como Texas, hacen claro lo que es legalo caminar la calle portando una pistola a su lado. Aquí está el próblema. Los ciudadanos tienen el derecho de se proteger. Los sequidors de este derecho incluye la Asociación nacional del rifle (NRA). Protegido los derechos del arma, NRA es ahora protegiendo el derecho de los asesinos para llevar armas. Los asesinos en Dallas y Baton Rouge aprendido a usar armas en el militar. Ellos condujeron sus asaltos en la manera militar. Los soldados saben que arrisgeran sus vidas en acción. --------------------------- The Second Amendment is part of the American Constitution. It is about the “right to bear arms.” States have their own laws. Some states, such as New York, have limited the right. Some states, such as Texas, make it clear you can walk up and down the street with a gun at your side. Here is the problem. Citizens have the right to protect themselves. Supporters of that right include the National Rifle Association (N.R.A.). In protecting gun rights, the N.R.A. is now protecting the right of killers to carry guns. The killers in Dallas and Baton Rouge learned to use weapons in the military. They conducted their assaults in a military way. Soldiers know they risk their lives in action. urce: http://www.thetimesinplainenglish.com/in-many-states-you-can-carry-a-gun-to-kill-someone/
