JOE QUIJANO ESTO NO ES CHARANGA

AUNQUE LA LUZ ESTÉ VERDE NO ES SEGURO PARA CRUZAR

Todos somos culpables de ser demasiado laxo en el cruce peatonal. Esto no es un problema nuevo, pero la llegada de mensajes de texto y carros sin conductores hacen los cruces mas peligrosos que nunca.

Los conductores y peatones tienen que ser especialmente menos complaciente e intensificar su juego. Necesitamos una campaña como la antigua campaña "Cruce en la Verde y no entre".

Hay gente texteando mientras caminan - Hay gente texteando mientras conducen.

La presencia de un paso de peatones no es suficiente para garantizar la seguridad peatonal en la carretera. Muchos eligen cruzar como quiera y evitar el uso de las cruces designadas, mientras que otros utilizan el cruce peatonal incorrectamente o no cumple con las señales de tránsito. Por eso es importante no sólo para que haya un cruce peatonal en el lugar, pero que los peatones y conductores lo utilicen conscientemente.

SÓLO PORQUE LA LUZ ESTÉ VERDE, NO 

SIGNIFICA QUE EL COCHE VA A PARAR

Todos estamos muy ocupados y apurados, pero tómese un segundo y tratar de hacer contacto visual con el conductor. Asegúrese de que él te ve y sabe que estás allí. Asegúrese de que el coche no está en movimiento. Su luz verde no tiene poder para detener el automóvil. Al cruzar la calle de mirar hacia abajo para ver si algún vehículo se aproxima y si no se ralentiza. Estar dispuesto a actuar para evitar quedar accidentado, especialmente si andas con niños.

1. No se concentre en el semáforo a cruzar la calle. No tiene ningún poder mágico para protegerle.

2. Espere un segundo; no salte a la calle porque la luz cambió. Mire bien 

3. Espere hasta que los vehículos se hayan detenido por completo. No empiece a cruzar mientras se están acercando.

4. Busca a hacer contacto visual con el conductor. Asegúrese de que él/ella te ve.

5. Mantenga sus ojos en la carretera para comprobar si hay cualquier vehículo acercándose dirigido en su dirección.

EVEN IF THE THE LIGHT IS GREEN YOU ARE NOT SAFE TO CROSS

We are all guilty of being too lax at the crosswalk. This is not a new problem but the advent of texting and driverless cars, crosswalks and intersections are more dangerous than ever.

Drivers and pedestrian especially have to be less complacent and step up their game. We need a campaign like the old “Cross at The Green not in Between” campaign.

PEOPLE ARE TEXTING AS THEY WALK – PEOPLE ARE TEXTING AS THEY DRIVE

The presence of a crosswalk isn’t enough to ensure a pedestrian’s safety on the road. Many choose to jaywalk and avoid using designated crosswalks, while others use the crosswalk incorrectly or fail to comply by the provided traffic signals. That’s why it’s not just important for there to be a crosswalk in place, but that the pedestrians using it are mindful of crosswalk safety precautions.

JUST BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS GREEN DOESN’T MEAN THE CAR IS GOING TO STOP

We’re all busy and in a hurry but take a minute and try to make eye contact with the driver. Make sure he sees you and knows you’re there. Make sure the car is not moving. Your green light has no power to stop the car. As you cross look down the street to see if any vehicle is approaching and if it’s not slowing down. Be ready to act to avoid getting struck.


1. Don’t focus on the traffic light across the street. It has no magic power to protect you.

2. Wait a second; don’t jump into the street because the light changed. LOOK

3. Wait till the vehicles have completely stopped. Don’t start to cross while they are approaching.

4. Try to make eye contact with the driver. Make sure he/she sees you.

5. Keep your eyes on the road to check if there is any vehicle headed your way.

SOY DE PUERTO RICO VENTA'O

PUERTO RICO: La economía quebrada y la seguridad en decadencia.

EL PRINCIPIO DEL FIN:
La economía quebrada y la seguridad en decadencia.
¿Cuál será el futuro de Puerto Rico?   

El problema es el retiro en Puerto Rico. Te retiras con 30 años de servicio o 55 años de edad lo que ocurra primero en el 2013, el entonces Presidente del Senado Eduardo Batía sometió un proyecto de ley que Policías Maestros el por ciento al cumplir tu retiro sería 42 %. Un agente de 52 años de edad y 32 años como Policía cobrará 1600 dólares mensuales.  No es justo y no son cualificados para seguro social.

Aumento ofrecido a la policía es $1,500.00 al ano. $1,500.00 dividido por 52 semana es $28.85 semanales, dividido 5 días laborales, significa $5.77 por dia,  dividido por 8 Hrs .72 centavos. 

Se escucha bonito le vamos aumentar $1,500.00 al ano. ¿Ese aumento es lo que se merecen nuestros policías que arriesgan su vida?

El gobierno quiere bajar la fuerza de 13000 policías a 10000 entonces no tienen retiro digno ni equipos. No hay futuro y están renunciando en masa de todos los rangos. No hay policías nadie quiere ser policía.

ABANDONED GENERATIONS STRIKE BACK

-Willie Colón

Today’s world is not the one we grew up in, most children only have personal contact with others in school and then for only short periods. Kids don’t play all day together after school as we did. Today’s kids lack the social skills we learned through interacting for long periods. We had to create friendships and alliances and try to repair relationships to survive in those days.

They go home, hook up their video game and their “friends”, from who knows where, as they slay enemies and commit all kinds of fantasy acts “together.” But they are alone in their room.

Bullying use to be restricted to the domain of the school or the block; in our day we could easily escape in the safety and comfort of our home. But today the kids are connected 24/7. Shaming and bullying will follow them right into their bedroom. They can have thousands of kids cracking on them at a time. They also see how perfect everybody else’s life is on social media. This can make kids unhappy. jealous and vindictive.

Then we have the musical counter culture that glorifies bad boys. I plead mea culpa to contributing to this even though I always did it tongue in cheek. But it runs deep as far back as Bonnie Clyde; a movie that gloried two violent (ugly) criminals and played them with pretty movies stars (Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty), The Novela about Pablo Escobar, Scarface, Carlito’s Way, Goodfellas, on and on. So it’s in there with us before it got to the kids.

Add to all this the game shows that make anybody who can sing a decent cover song rich, an overnight rock star. Add the ability to put stuff up on FaceBook, YouTube and other media and become a trend, get a contract, and get on TV.

What is the most outrageous statement a young person can make in this culture of violence, game killing, instant fame, relentless bullying? Kill them all. Strike out at society, which in their case is the school.

There have been rifles in massive use since 1812 yet today we have this rash of mass school shootings. Rifles have always been around; they haven’t changed. Our society has changed. 

Getting rid of the rifles is not going to solve this problem. Not to say there is nothing we can do externally with gun laws.We can do some superficial things but they will find other ways to kill (Bombs, knives, cars) if we don’t address this serious mental health/societal illness.

BLAMING THE GUN is a cop out by a society that has abdicated to the TV set, computer and video game the raising of their children.
