The teams that are participating in this year's Copa America are: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, Venezuela, United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Haiti, and Panama.

Public Speaking is Just One of their Qualities

Passionate, young, and imaginative; everything you need to make a Ted Talk truly appreciative! Ted Talk is a club with many creative participants who shared their ideas of specific topics. On March 11, at the Escuela Bella Vista Auditorium a group of 8 students talked about different, intriguing themes that had to do with their lives and how you can get through hard things in life by using unique tactics. Ted Talks are not only a way to talk about something that dramatically impacted your life, but a way to express your point of view on an specific idea. Paulina Maurovich, a 12th grader, focused on gender equality and how she believed women were not treated like men. Many students believed her Ted Talk was a success, for example, Marcella Finol, an eighth grade student stated that: “Her Ted Talk not only focused on her daily life, but on the daily struggle of many women.” This means that many people from the EBV community can relate themselves with Ted Talks.

Beware, this is only the first Ted Talk and there are many more creative ones to come! In this inspirational talk there were many topics completely different. For example, Elena Mangialardo, a 12th grader, talked about how she believes disabled people should have more chances and opportunities in life. Rosie Abuin, a 7th grader confessed that “This was a very important topic that showed how people with discapacities are the same as people who don’t have discapacities.” Another significant topic that many people can relate to is Sabrina Mangialardo’s, a senior. It talked about how one great idea can lead into something that can change your life completely. Just be creating a fun idea, her twin sister: Elena Mangialardo and herself own a “great shop called The Rack”, as said by Pamela Pineda, in Maracaibo with 15.4k followers on Instagram.

Another member of Ted Talk was Nicole Castellano, and she talked about mindfulness. According to Psychology Today (www.psychologytoday.com/basics/mindfulness), mindfulness is a state of active, open attention on the present. Alesia Sanchez, which attended the Ted Talk, said that “I enjoyed very much the Ted Talk because it was very creative. Nicole Castellano gave very good tips about relaxation and stress because her topic was mindfulness.” The Ted Talk was a huge success because it inspired students to express their ideas and opinions through Ted Talks and the whole event encourage students to join the Ted Talk Club next year.

The Dispute has risen up to the Next Level

Bernie Sanders says Hillary Clinton is unqualified to be the next president of the United States of America.

   As the competition for the Democratic nomination continues Bernie Sanders is intensifying his attacks on Hillary Clinton, as he pinpointed that she was unqualified to lead the United States. According to the New York Times Sanders subtle attacks began on “Wednesday night when Mr. Sanders took issue with recent criticism over his understanding of financial regulation policy and assailed Mrs. Clinton from multiple angles.” It seems as if Sanders has made it one of his priorities to attack Clinton, at least, that’s what can be inferred as he said, “People might wonder about your qualifications when you supported virtually every trade agreement, trade agreements which have cost the American worker millions of decent paying jobs.” The dispute between Sanders and Clinton has gone far too long, but now it has reached the next level as Sanders stated that Clinton was unqualified for the job she has been running for.

Take Care and Beware of Heart Disease

Long follow-up study shows endometriosis increases risks for heart disease.

     It has been discovered after a long follow-up study that endometriosis is a  increased risk for heart disease mostly under those women under 40 years old. According to the New York Times “Endometriosis, the growth of uterine tissue outside the uterus, may affect as many as 10 percent of women in their reproductive years.” Its symptoms include painful menstruation, excessive bleeding, and infertility among others. According to the New York Times the study included “116,430 women free of heart disease and stroke at the start of the study. By the end of a 20-year follow-up period, 11,903 of the women had been given a diagnosis of endometriosis.” It is always vital to be healthy and take care of yourself but for women with Endometriosis the task is even harder. Pregnancies, physical activity, alcohol intake, diabetes and other factors cause these women to be 52% more likely to have a heart attack, they are 91% more likely to have angina and 35% more likely to have to undergo coronary bypass surgery. We can see that women are deeply affected by endometriosis and doctors are currently finding out more information about the disease.
