"June 20 will be launched in Brussels by the European Alliance on Sunday. For the first time, trade unions and churches of Europe are on the same line. " This ensures from the Commission of the Bishops of the European Union (COMECE), who warns that the reasons for the alliance are both religious and socio-political.
( InfoCatólica ) The protection of Sunday, whose disappearance in the practice as a holiday "would call into question age-old social benefit," leads to the denunciation of the new slavery: While many may use this day to enjoy family and friends, more and more people have to work on large surfaces commercial and leisure centers.

multidisciplinary analysis has joined the work of chemists, toxicologists and food experts, which has resulted in the development of chemical reactions modeled, exposure assessments, toxicity testing and analytical methods for biomarkers (analysis blood and urine) to establish the exact amounts of acrylamide in humans. These results further link the information in the guidelines of the Confederation of Food and Drink Industries of the EU (CIAA). They are registered small and medium enterprises not have the resources to properly investigate the methods developed by larger competitors.
The investigations so far located the source of acrylamide in high-temperature reaction of an amino acid asparagine in the presence of natural sugars. The process is known as the Maillard reaction and the optimum temperature of formation if located around 180 º C, although from 100 ° C is favored and the generation of acrylamide, which is accelerating from 140 ° C. In 2002 scientists at the University of Stockholm, Sweden, reported unexpected high levels of acrylamide in carbohydrate-rich foods subjected to high temperatures. Until then acrylamide was known as a highly reactive industrial chemical, present also, though at low levels in snuff smoke. Since then, they have conducted more than 200 research projects around the world to determine the threshold toxicity of this substance in humans.
In 2005, the Authority commenced a risk analysis in this field conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO). In it, the organizations concluded that the margins of exposure for consumers were low, although this is not exempted from taking action to reduce the risk. A study of some 62,000 women in the Netherlands and published recently concluded that daily intake of acrylamide could be related to ovarian cancer risk.
The project has shown that acrylamide is not the only genotoxic substance formed when heating food. Experts have created a database of more than 800 heat-induced compounds, of which about 50 have proven to be potential carcinogens in their chemical structure (And furans). However, future research should focus on these new compounds, experts say. Precisely in this context, the Commission launched in early 2007, and until 2008, a follow-up data on the occurrence of furan in foodstuffs.
Another initiative, also in the field of food contaminants and carried out by FAO and WHO provides a list of priority pollutants and naturally occurring substances in food. Last August, 400 delegates from 110 countries gathered in Geneva to adopt measures to protect consumers who marked maximum allowable levels of several food additives and contaminants. The Codex Alimentarius Commission also approved practical guidance to governments to prevent or reduce dioxins and aflatoxins in food.
Community level in EC Regulation 466/2001 sets maximum levels of contaminants such as nitrates, mycotoxins (aflatoxins, ochratoxin A and patulin), heavy metals (lead, cadmium and mercury), 3-monochloropropane-1 ,2-diol (3-MCPD), dioxins and dioxin-like PCBs. And some food incidents in recent months, as the detection of industrial chemical melamine in animal feed and fish or unauthorized use of certain drugs veterinary use in intensive aquaculture require strengthening, as the WHO, the systems of food safety worldwide.

"The Bible says that all eyes are going to see" the return of Christ and "descend from the clouds," Graham said during an interview to be broadcast Sunday on ABC.

NASA warns o p October 2011 Draconids , a meteor shower that occurs every fall, will be catastrophic for the fleet of satellites, probes and human constructions that orbit around the Earth. It is expected to be bombarded with such intensity that could seriously affect most devices moving through space. be a pretty sight from our homes but a dangerous avatar for satellites. For us, the spectacle to observe a meteor shower represents a unique opportunity to admire the fascinating beauty of outer space. However, year 2011 will become a high-risk time for all human design artifacts that abound in the orbit of our planet. Normally, the cars are nothing more than a visual wonder for those who admire them from the planet's surface, but every so often, the number of meteorites that come to us increases dramatically and can be a cumbersome power de problemas para los satélites que permanecen expuestos al impacto de estos pequeños misiles interestelares.
Do not exaggerate a little at NASA?
The calendar meteor showers brings us to the October 8, 2011, which will be the day that Draconids falling on the planet like a rain of incendiary bullets, very nice from our perspective as observers, but very harmful from the standpoint of equipment in orbit. This meteor shower we visit every fall, but next year playing one of the fat, similar to those that occurred in 1985 and 1998. The intensity of rain is predicted so strong that NASA is already thinking about redirecting International Space Station to withstand the brutal onslaught that is coming. The platform has a protective shield to prevent such bombings astronomical, but the power of the next Draconids, have raised fears that it will not be enough to stop the deadly impacts of meteors.

The asteroid has a very slow rotation and pursue a career space that approximates the Earth too. According elreservado.es this has meant that the asteroid is considered potentially dangerous by astronomers from around the world.
In analyzing the asteroid's orbit can be predicted to pass within about 200,000 kilometers from Earth. The phenomenon is expected to scientists. In addition elreservado.es hospitalizations reported that several laboratories are already preparing to collect as much information as possible over the asteroid.

SATURDAY IS THE TRUE SABBATH?
The word Sabbath comes from the Hebrew verb Sabbath and means rest or sleep. What rest? The Bible tells us in Genesis 2:1-3: "Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all its creatures. And God blessed the seventh day the work he did, and rested the seventh day of what he had done in creation. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all his work he had done in creation. " God did not rest on the seventh day because he was tired after his work of creation, but to establish a memorial of Creation for all generations. On the seventh day God rested, sanctified and blessed. It is because the Sabbath a day rest, a holy day and a blessed day.
By observing the Sabbath as a day of rest, the Christian recognizes two important things:
God is our Creator
• At rest the seventh day we claim to recognize God as the creator of the universe. We can not accept a creator God without observing that he himself ordered the watch as a remembrance of creation. "Remember the Sabbath day holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But Saturday is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. Do not do any work on it, neither you nor your son or thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. "For in six days the LORD made heaven, earth and sea, and all they contain, and rested the seventh day. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy . Exodus 20 :8-11.
God is our Savior
• By observing the seventh day we recognize God as our Savior, deliverer from sin. Our Savior. Egypt was the scenario in which the people of God was held in slavery. God delivered his people with a mighty hand to be free from the Egyptians and to worship Him only Egypt is a symbol of slavery of sin. God has made us free from sin through Christ to worship in spirit and in truth. "Observe the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as the Lord your God has commanded you. Six days you shall labor and do all thy work: But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. Any work you do, neither you nor your son or thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy ox, nor thine ass, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, to rest your servant and your maid like you. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the Lord your God brought you out thence with mighty hand and outstretched arm. Therefore the Lord your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath . " Deuteronomy 5:12-15.
The Sabbath is a distinctive sign of God's people. God's children are identified through the sign that God himself has established the identity of its people. "Say to the Israelites keep my sabbaths, because the Sabbath is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you." Exodus 31:13. "I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them. " "Hallow My Sabbaths, and are a sign between Me and you, that ye may know that I the Lord am your God. Ezekiel 20:12, 20.
God worked a miracle in the desert triple compared to manna Saturday to spill over the land, the people of Israel understand the sanctity of their holy day and its observance. (Exodus 16:4-30).
The fourth commandment of the Law of God tells us: "Remember the Sabbath day holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work. But Saturday is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. Do not do any work on it, neither you, nor your son or your daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. "For in six days the LORD made heaven, earth and sea, and all they contain, and rested the seventh day. So the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and declared it holy." Exodus 20:8 -11. The apostle James tells us to keep the whole law, and not just some of his commandments "For whoever keeps the whole law and yet offend in one point is guilty of all" James 2:10.
Our Lord Jesus said when he walked on the earth "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I came not to override, but to comply "Matthew 5:17. Jesus himself observed the Sabbath according to the commandment (Luke 4:16, Mark 6:2, 3; Marco 1:21).
One of the most amazing stories of the Bible shows us the solemnity of the seventh day. Even Christ's death his disciples kept the Sabbath. The Holy Son of God was buried after his death but could not be buried according to custom with spices and perfumes, so they had to return his disciples on the first day of the week: "It was the afternoon of the day of Preparation ( Friday), and was about to start on Saturday. Women who had been with him from Galilee, followed closely, and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. Went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on Saturday, according to the Commandment. The first day of the week (Sunday), at early dawn, the women went to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared, and others with them. (Luke 23:54-56, 24:1).
The apostles continued to observe the Sabbath after the death of Christ (Acts 17:2, 13:14, 15, 42, 44, 16:12, 13). In this way we understand the death of Christ did not abolish the Sabbath Day. Jesus left a warning for those who live in the last days of history of this world and suffer persecution for the gospel "Pray that your flight be not in winter or on the Sabbath" (Matthew 24:20).
In the new land of heaven to save the days of eternity "and from month to month , and Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord "(Isaiah 66:23).
change the Sabbath to Sunday
The dictionary of the Royal English Academy gives the following definition of the word Saturday: "Sixth day of the week, seventh week liturgical." The term "week" is defined as "series of seven consecutive calendar days, from Monday to Sunday. The same dictionary says that "Liturgical Week is a period of seven consecutive days beginning on Sunday and concludes on Saturday." Here we find a double definition of the Sabbath day for the same name. But in the beginning it was not. In the book of Genesis we find a seven-day week well-defined "there was evening and morning one day." How is it possible that today we have two definitions for the Sabbath?.
The Prophecy of Daniel 7:25 tells us that Satan instigate the powers of this world to change times and the law. Both time "calendar" as the law of God have been changed. The current Gregorian calendar changed the counting of days, starting each day from midnight to midnight. Today starts week on Monday and ends on Sunday. But the Word of God shows something else: "There was evening and morning one day" this expression we find in the first chapter of Genesis tells us that a day begins at sundown and ends the following sundown. The start of a day is part of the afternoon, and the end of the day is the clarity. Biblically, the week starts on Sunday, (Luke 24:1) and ends on Saturday (Genesis 2:1,2).
God's law was changed by men. The fourth commandment enjoins us to, among other things, worship the Sabbath, and the second commandment enjoins us not to worship other gods besides the One God. At the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, the Church decreed the transfer of the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.
"On the venerable day of the Sun, that the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and close all its offices ..." (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, vol. 3, pg. 1902).
The Church recognizes the change. "The Church ... took the pagan Sunday and made it on Sunday Christian ... and thus the pagan Sunday, dedicated to Balder Christian Sunday became devoted to Jesus. "(The Catholic World, vol. 58, No. 338, pg. 809).
The Church acknowledges having made a change contrary to the will of the Apostles. "The festival of Sunday, like other festivals, was always a human ordinance, and there was no intention of the apostles to establish a divine command in this respect away from them and the early apostolic church, to transfer the laws of the Sabbath to Sunday. "(The History of Christian Religion and Church, pg. 186).
not find in Scripture a verse that commands us to change the Sabbath to Sunday. Jesus Himself said that He came to save the law and not to alter or to abolish it. Therefore, we can state unreservedly that the Sabbath is the true Sabbath which God established forever. The Christian who wishes to identify as such and eager to observe the law of God must keep the seventh day on Saturday.
That began to change when the Cosmos Ecological Foundation of Calarcá, began the task of "doing there Machin Volcano." The initiative arose from a talk in which some members came to realize that they knew the volcano's existence for many years but never heard about him. So the January 2, 2000 began a campaign of visits to the volcano inviting journalists from various media, academics and schools, students, members of relief agencies and how many people are interested in going to know "the volcano is not exists. "
further visits are made regularly because it is not easy for a society to assimilate what a volcano is and less when there are people who are determined to conceal its existence. As it happened years ago when a Secretary of the Department of Quindío said terrorists who were disseminating information about the machine. Fortunately we have the support of Marta Lucia Calvache, INGEOMINAS volcanologist, who for three days was met with authorities and offered lectures and press conference to make clear, in Quindio least, that the volcano does exist and that irresponsible is not about him.
'Enemies of the existence of the volcano, "argue that disclosing the information would cause fear in people, would lower the price of land, drive away strategic investments in the region and that no one would come to establish their business or living here. This is the thinking of those who have reduced all human dimensions to the purely economic, for people they do not matter, what matters is its capital, property, business. The suffering, unhappiness or ruin of thousands of people mean nothing. The existence of the volcano requires that steps be taken now for the occurrence of an eruption to cause the least possible damage to our society. LOCATION
El Cerro Machin, Machin Alto or the Hole, as it is popularly called, lies on the eastern slopes of the Cordillera Central at a distance in a straight line, 7 km northeast of Cajamarca, 17 km northwest of Ibague and 32 km southeast of Armenia. It can be reached by road from Ibague (El Boqueron), Cajamarca and Salento. Access is easy, you come by car to inside the crater of the volcano, there are several farms and live eight families.
is sufficient to take a map to see that it is in the heart of Colombia, in the middle of the "golden triangle" (hypothetical triangle with vertices in Bogota, Medellin and Cali) where it concentrates most of the population and economic infrastructure. It is easy to foresee that the occurrence of an eruption would be the biggest disaster we've known, estimated to affect, directly, to more than one million people.
FEATURES
Not all volcanoes are the same and this is most singular. Is an active volcano and highly explosive. Is the lowest altitude in Colombia (2,750 meters), is confused with the topography of the area as the center of the crater is occupied by several domes fumarolic activity, and is so large that it is "because the diameter crater is 2.4 km. These characteristics make it virtually invisible to those who do not know it does not match the common image we have of a volcano.
is good to clarify that is considered an active volcano that has had, at least, a rash in the last 10,000 years. There is geological record of six eruptions in the machine, over the past 5,000 years, which are often characterized by eruptive columns produce several tens of kilometers high that deposited ash layers of several tens of centimeters in areas such as Armenia, pyroclastic flows hundreds of meters thick, which filled the river valleys draining the volcano and volcanic mudflows (also called "lahars") that reached to get to the Magdalena River forming huge alluvial fans in areas Chicoral, Espinal, Guam and Saldaña. The last eruption occurred approximately 850 years and it was a memory in Indian legend of the region. A simple calculation shows that, in geological terms, we are close of a new eruption could happen at any time. Other manifestations of volcanic activity are the presence of fumaroles, microsismisidad permanent springs in and near the crater of the volcano landforms are well preserved and increased presence of radon gas the sector.
The first references to the existence of volcano Machin German geologist should Friedlaender (1927) who was informed of its existence by Brother Amable who discovered it. From the beginning the volcano was classified as a volcano or plinian somma that is the technical name given to explosive volcanoes, the most dangerous precisely because of the size and characteristics of their eruptions. Of this type have been the Krakatoa, the Bezymianny, Vesuvius, and Mount Saint Helen. The record indicates that previous eruptions have always been explosive, very strong material and have covered a wide territory in the departments of Tolima, Quindio, Risaralda, Valle del Cauca and Cundinamarca.
THE VOLCANO AND THE PASSAGE OF "THE LINE"
Machin volcano Proximity to the road linking downtown with the country's west, by the passage of "The Line" is another aspect that holds surprises. In a document published by Weber County in the year 1999 ( CERRO VOLCANO Machine, DISASTER PREVENTION AND TERRITORIAL ) reads as follows: "The land management policies should take into account the activity of the volcano on issues Machin as population density and location of strategic infrastructure for the country, such as communication between the center (Andean Region) and western (Pacific). "
In 2005, work began on the tunnel " The Line " and Environmental Impact Study, prepared by the firm Gómez y Asociados Cajiao even Machin volcano is named as a possible threat to himself, even as something of importance in the context of the work. And the government has insisted on the tunnel there, despite the relevant recommendations of Weber County. This is unacceptable for several reasons.
Firstly because the modernization of the road and tunnel construction will increase economic activities in the region and thus increase the population in Ibague, Cajamarca, Calarcá, Armenia and throughout the center of the track. In other words, we are inviting tens of thousands of people to live in an area of \u200b\u200bvolcanic and serious threat that contradicts the wisdom of disaster prevention.
Secondly, because the focus on the mountain pass by this place committed several errors. One of the most famous of territorial development of Colombia is the excessive concentration of population and economic infrastructure in a small part of the country (the aforementioned "golden triangle") while the rest remains almost completely deserted and backwardness. It was thought (still need to do so) in one step by another place to open new areas to population and economic activity. Going through "The Line" remains the only useful step in the Cordillera Central for exports and imports of the country. In the event of an eruption that road would be lost for decades, possibly for decades, and the famous tunnel of "The Line" would not serve to raise more than bats, the country would be halved, without communication between the Midwest and Buenaventura with disastrous consequences for the national economy. The disaster would be twofold. On the one hand a million people directly affected and on the other the entire country with its broken economy. VOLCANIC ACTIVITY
Machin Volcano has gained notoriety in recent days because of unusual seismic activity that occurs in the volcano and its surroundings. This is occurring since late 1998 but has increased dramatically in recent months. In December 2007 there were 381 small earthquakes in January 2008 were 492, in February 162, March 1980, April and May 747 437. Much of this stems from microearthquakes or snapping geological structures within the volcano and that is worrying. There are other signs of volcanic activity as the increase in fumarolic activity, changes in the emission of radon gas and a possible deformation of the dome that blocks the crater.
We are thus in default of taking effective measures to prepare and prevent a disaster. It is true that there is no way of knowing when it will happen but we do know will happen and where. On 21 January, created a special commission at the highest level of government to address the issue and have already seen some action as the instruction given by the Ministry of Education about the need to publicize the existence of the volcano within the educational curriculum, meetings have been convened to prepare a "contingency plan" (should be "prevention and contingency) in the case of an eruption, Quindio, and has increased monitoring of the volcano (still insufficient) to learn more about what is happening there in time to warn and the occurrence of an eruption.
is already talk of the volcano and that in progress, but do not forget that the social process of assimilation as a problematic aspect of our reality is something that takes a long time delay many years. And there is still much to be done.

The Vatican issued a message to the Buddhists in stating that in a world marked by secularism and the attacks on the spiritual, interfaith dialogue "can be alternative to find the royal road to live in peace and work together for the good of all. "
The message has been prepared by Cardinal Jean Louis Tauran, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue Vesahk occasion of the fiesta important of the Buddhist, which commemorate the main events of Buddha's life.
"In today's world, marked by forms of secularism and fundamentalism are often enemies of true freedom and spiritual values, interfaith dialogue can be the alternative option to find the royal road to live in peace and work together for the good of everyone, "Tauran wrote.
Cardinal, throwing hand demonstrations of Pope Benedict XVI, added that dialogue among followers of different religions to the church is an important instrument to work with all religious communities to the common good.
That dialogue, he said, is also a significant stimulus to respect fundamental human rights of freedom of conscience and freedom of worship.
"Wherever freedom of religion is actually recognized the dignity of the human person is respected radically moral consciousness and civil institutions are reinforced and justice and peace firmly established," he said in his message. Tauran
vowed to "consolidate in a climate of friendship relations between the Catholic and Buddhist communities.
