Alan Quasha



He said last week probertoj my companion, half in jest, half seriously, that Los Campesinos! is poised to become the Raymond Poulidor of our top weekly, so that seemed doomed to be the eternal second of the tables. Well, another week, and included another change of leader, he refuses to? "My Year in Lists? the first step.


This time, and for the first time in four weeks we have been taking forward this list of current issues, has been a banda national territory which has managed to reach the top: The Punset, this group falls to me as well by the mere fact that give your disk. The song I do not like a lot, so I will not deny, but the truth is that you laughing at Estrafalario with his lyrics.


Caen until the fourth rung the previous leaders, Coldplay, while finally the wonderful? Discipline? Nine Inch Nails gets a job more in line with the quality of the item. The strongest entry of the week starring Gnarls Barkley with that Temazo called? Run? I have not stopped listening during this past week, and that well-deserved place climbing some more.


However, not all proposals that he gave last week have been so well received, leaving off the list to the first exchange and its Arch Enemy? I Will Live Again? Who by the way have been carried Duffy, Kylie Minogue, Mr. Chinarro and Russian Red. Then the top 20 as it has been configured after the vote:





As you can see, five are items that we have selected the team blogger to enter our top, emphasizing the Granada Lori Meyers with her? Neon lights?, And the combustible Nick Cave with her? More News from Nowhere. Alongside them, a very good topic of Jonathan Richman you should not stop listening, the unique challenge of Barcelona Hidrogenesse, and the youngest fashion in the UK, Leona Lewis.

Falls Vacant Andalusia Sum and Continues

Nigella Lawson

Spain is the European country where more caesarean sections are performed. The average is 20% of caesareans and Andalusia is the region where the increasing practice is more worrisome.
In fact, Malaga is the Spanish city that is a leader in number of Caesarean sections performed.

According to data supplied in the II Meeting Professionals Suavinex around 21.49% of pregnant women Andalusian face a Caesarean section at the time of having their children in public health, and nothing less than between 40 and 50% as make in the private healthcare, when the WHO recommendation is that the percentage does not exceed 10% as more than that figure, it considers malpractice.

Malaga (with a 26.2%) and Cadiz (25.8%) are the provinces that are going to the head, followed by Grenada (19.93%), Cordova (19.40%), Seville (18.62% ) And Jaen (17.98%), despite almost 18% is one of the provinces with the lowest rate of caesarean sections. We lack the data general of Almeria and Huelva.

In return, precisely in Andalusia is one of the hospitals with the lowest percentage of Caesarean sections throughout Spain, The Immaculate Hospital in Huércal-Overa in Almeria with a 14% incidence.

It is incomprehensible that in the same community such a difference may exist between one province and another. What are the factors that affect? Is it a medical decision or ever more mothers in influencing the choice of a caesarean birth? If so, why prefer, for convenience, for fear of suffering?

The figures show that it is clear that caesarean sections are not practising as a last resort only when strictly necessary to save the life of the baby before some sort of setback or complication. The problem is that the exception is fast becoming rule.

We have seen that hospitals have begun to Andalusians join the natural delivery with the aim of reducing interventions at birth. This promoted some changes such as the ability to choose different positions to give birth, new rooms dilation, choose whether or not to give birth epidural, etc. ..

It is necessary that this change in mentality will spread quickly through the Andalusian centres to ensure that the practice of caesarean section is reduced. Hopefully soon have more encouraging figures.

What is the Theory? Mother Soft?

Mark Rich
It is a theory very interesting and very revealing about the importance of commitment during the first years of life.
At the time provided a new vision of human behavior at a time when it was considered inappropriate for the development of psychological and physiological load baby in her arms, besarlo, acurrucarlo, embrace and have contact beyond the need to feed.One position that we must now ask for rescue where we are and where we are going in the way of upbringing. Anyone who studied this new vision has been the American psychologist Harry Harlow (1905-1981), famous for his studies related to the upbringing and emotional deprivation made in the decade of macaques? 60.
One of his best known work is one that confirms the call? Theory mother soft? Or the surrogate mother, an investigation based on the behavior of the offspring of rhesus monkeys.
The investigation consisted of separating the offspring of his biological mother monkey and replaced by two mothers artificial: a fabricated metal with a network provided with a bottle and the other made in plush and without food.
Which of the two mothers who chose to believe the offspring? Only when they felt hungry they would quench their need with food that gave them kudos metal, but all the rest of the time stayed close to heat and the soft texture that they provided mom plush. Even served them protection, as it approached her to take shelter when something frighten them. There were approaching the mother who gave them food, but one that gave them security.
When the offspring were transferred to a new habitat was clinging to the mother plush until they felt confident out to explore on their own, always returning to the mother? Light? To seek repair. However, when the offspring were transferred to a new habitat without her mother acted very differently: started to shout, to mourn, it chupaban finger and looking for her? Soft object? Everywhere.
When they met again with his mother clung to it without daring to leave, which reveals that the need for protection is above the need to explore.
In the image above you can see how the baby monkey attends a surrogate mother to take the metal bottle, but while having physical contact with the mother gentle.
Another interesting aspect of the study was that the offspring of the mother of wire as those of the mother plush gained weight at the same pace but with a difference, that the first had diarrhea more often. Harlow interpreted as not having contact with the mother meant to them babies added stress factor in its digestion.
What this study tells us? For a start, that the need for contact is instinctive and basic babies. Then, the need for affection, protection and security provided by a mother is more than the need for food. The food is important and necessary, but it is not more than affection. We especially reveals the critical importance of maternal attachment during the first years of life to raise children themselves confident, healthy and independent.
Rescato a sentence Punset documentary on the brains of babies that I was saved: for a truly independent human being must have been the first baby dependent.
Traslademos this example to humans and the way in which we raise our children. Will meet their needs for affection? Do they provide adequate containment to be able to explore the world safely? Are we there when weep when we need them, when they are searching for the security of some arms to calm down? Will try to establish such affectionate ties are so important to their development?
In short, there are many questions to which every parent should consider trying to find their own answers.
In conclusion, which I think is surprising that these investigations have come to light 50 years ago and we are still debating whether we should mourn leave the baby in the crib or if malcriamos by loading arm. More | Wikipedia (Harry Harlow)

Jesus shared with the generosity that characterizes much information with the present, about how to get funding for projects on the internet, the holy grail of every entrepreneur and his remarks as usual were very accurate. There is no person who walk about the bush.

Specifically temperature climbed encounter when Jesus was asked about the status of the property sector and their impact on the progress of the economy. He commented that in the year 2003 and they talked about real estate bubble and that the current situation is far from lead to a "soft landing?: It would be preferable for the adjustment occurs swiftly, that otherwise would be like depilarse slowly: infinitely more painful .

More questions: Are the cuts will affect more internet or paper? In his view the role. In his view and mine: in fact in my case I know three situations in which the role undisputed king so far has gone away, being replaced by electronic formats with complete normality.
