Trip to Spain

As many already know, this year I shall complete my first Christmas in America.

Until recent weeks, I hesitated to go to Spain or not at all and it seems that I managed to stay here.
The last step to get the new visa is to visit the U.S. Embassy in Spain.

This requires an appointment weeks in advance. Noting that she had been given me by Friday 18, almost certainly had not arrived on time.
As I have said many of the Messenger or Facebook, in all news programs have left pictures of the airports in the northeastern United States of delays or cancellations.


90% of the times we live in the midwest, we fly to Europe via cities in that area: Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, Washington ...

Had not arrived in time to the appointment at the embassy.
Even having done so, the lawyer assured me that in Madrid I manage "the papers" to be back in time to Kentucky.
The Three Kings do not stop in this country so classes start on Monday 4 January.

Surely he had touched me buy another ticket for another day. The joke would have been $ 1500 a portion of the $ 1200 that would have spent to travel to Europe at this time.

Those who think profs ask visitors program for the next course in the coming days in the BOE will the new call. Suerte!

COLLEAGUES ASKING THE GOVERNMENT TO SPAIN safe haven for LGBT BE PURSUED IN THE WORLD

Madrid, 17 December 2009. The Spanish Confederation COLLEAGUES Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender want to congratulate the Spanish government for granting political asylum to a gay Iranian who suffered torture and persecution because of their sexual orientation. This is the first specifically applied for asylum based on sexual orientation persecution, as contained in the newly adopted Law on Asylum and Refuge. This last law incorporating explicitly the grounds of persecution based on sexual orientation or gender identity, has been a long battle for COLLEAGUES claim and other human rights organizations.

Spain and Europe can not remain unmoved by the human drama of these young people, and should push strongly to the Iranian theocratic regime to prevent the hunt inhumane, "said Paco Ramirez, secretary of organization of colleagues. "From COLLEAGUES encourage you to press the Iranian embassies and consulates to force a change in judicial policy of the Persian country. Through the campaign COLLEAGUES FOR IRAN (www.colegasporiran.tk) trying to raise awareness and help make this change possible, "added Ramirez. "For colleagues, Spain continues to be a world leader in social progress and respect for human rights. There are many homosexuals and transsexuals who are currently risking their physical integrity or even their lives by not hide their sexual status in many countries. We therefore invite the Spanish government that Spain will become a safe haven for those persecuted for their sexual status, "said Paco Ramirez. "Spain should be more generous in granting political asylum can not be a policy of words without deeds, and now Spain is one of the 7 countries of the European Union unless attaches homes, accepting even less than 5% of the requests for asylum made. Spain gives 11 times less homes than Italy, 30 times less than France, 32 times less than Germany and 50 times less than the UK, "said Ramirez.

Carrascosa guilty in U.S. court

New Jersey Judge Donald Venezia Maria Jose Carrascosa condemned the U.S. prison in Spanish since 2006 by a dispute regarding custody of the daughter he had with an American.

"I maintain I am innocent. I would ask you another chance to prove my innocence, as an international court has ruled, Carrascosa asked the judge in the courtroom before knowing the ruling by the nine crimes that in November a jury found her guilty.

The sentence of 14 years in prison, may be appealed by the defenders of the Spanish.


Carrascosa, who arrived in handcuffs and with the green dress uniform of prey, listened tearfully to the judge saying that his case was "a real disgrace. This is a case of hatred and revenge that has created you, who has seen his daughter a mere property, a piece on the chessboard. Find: the game is over ".

The ruling by Judge Venezia, which can be appealed by the defenders of the Spanish, means that if Carrascosa the meet as a whole, his daughter, Victoria Solenne, the greater the age to an end, since the baby was born in 2000 .

The girl, who lives in Valencia with grandparents, older age is when Maria Jose is free.

The judge also said Mary Joseph, said the sentence, "is what he deserves for his daughter start her own arms and the arms of her ex-husband." "You should think that your daughter this Christmas will have neither a mother nor a father to be embraced, not open the presents with any of you," the judge said he Carrascosa, but noted it would reconsider the sentence in the case of the girl back to America.

The Spanish, 44 and a lawyer by profession, was married to Peter Innes between 1999 and 2004, and his daughter, who lives in Valencia with his grandparents, was born in April 2000.

Carrascosa decided in 2005 to take Spain to the daughter by Innes and since then has refused to return the U.S. to the child, as has been embroiled in a complex legal situation, which has been complicated with the time and in which there is a conflict of case law between the Spanish and American.

Carrascosa has always defended his decision to travel to Spain with his daughter because she wanted to escape from Innes, whom he accused of abuse and having tried to poison slowly with the supposed aim of keeping their heritage, she said during the trial.

The process began when on 23 August 2006 the New Jersey Superior Court decided, at the request of Innes, that within ten days the mother must give to the child.

As Carrascosa was that time in America, the New Jersey court took away his passport and banned him from leaving the country, thus, unable to return to Spain and give his daughter on time, Jose Maria hid to try to avoid imprisonment, until he was arrested on 21 November 2006.

Pre-Existence in Travel Insurance in Spain

Good morning, first of all congratulate you for the very professional content of your pages.
I ask the question, to see if I can help.
1) Is it possible to acquire travel insurance with pre-existing heart disease?
2) What companies do you?
3) Is it possible to hire a health insurance in Spain or another country, to live in Mexico, if you have a preexisting condition?
I feel these questions but I've been sailing a long time and can not find answers that are very important even for people in the same situation.
Again congratulations x the content that you publish.


Salu2 cordial

Answer:
Hola Julio. Thank you for your positive comments about our site, I'm glad you like. As to the questions is very important to establish before hiring if your insurance is covered preexisting heart and in what quantities, in case you have an event during the trip. In your case is worth a detailed investigation because each insurance company follows its own pattern in these policies. Each insurer is different.

I suggest you do a search in Google with the words in Spanish travel insurance with pre-existing. I did this and appear several companies providing this service with heart problems. I also suggest you do a search in English, which is where more competitive is the market and it is possible to find better deals, type the words in the search TRAVEL INSURANCE WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS. Sure to find a good deal.

As for recruiting in Spain purchase travel insurance to live in Mexico, I see the disadvantage that travel insurance is generally a temporary issue, but if you are planning to reside elsewhere, appears difficult to have that coverage. However, not too much to ask on the companies with which they will have contact to see if they offer any solution.

Automakers in Spain focus on the safety of pregnant

The initiative, in conjunction with biomedical researchers, seeks to prevent fetal deaths that occur in traffic accidents.

Shifting the emphasis traditionally has focused on safety seats for babies and toddlers in cars, researchers and automotive manufacturers seeking to prevent fetal deaths making the trip safer for pregnant women.

Biomedical researchers are collaborating with automakers to develop a computer model for pregnant drivers and passengers in order to provide protection against accidents in future designs.


Stefan Duma, head of the School of Biomedical Engineering and Technological Sciences Wake Forest University in Blacksburg, Va., said the school recently completed a draft three-year investigation, partially funded by Ford, to collect data on the histological composition and dimensions of pregnant women and their fetuses.

"We can develop restraint systems for any vehicle and any occupant, but first we must see the wounds themselves, what happens in the tissues of the placenta and uterus during an accident,''said Duma, which has investigated a number of applications, even security devices for Blackhawk military helicopters.

There is no official federal statistics on the number of fetal deaths in car accidents. But Duma said that several groups estimate that occur annually from 300 to several thousand of these deaths resulting from motor vehicle crash, about four times the number of fatalities among infants and children under 4 years.

In total, 27,000 passenger vehicle occupants died in traffic crashes in 2008, according to the National Traffic Safety Carretero, and automobile accidents are a major cause of deaths of pregnant women.

Dr. Melissa Schiff, an obstetrician and epidemiologist at the Center for Injury Prevention and Research at Harborview, Washington, willingly received the attention given now to the safety of pregnant women.
