<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ever since I was a child<br />I bathed in your crystal waters<br />And built castles in your sands<br />ever since my first romance<br />I took every chance to visit your secret quarters<br />Where hidden along the shore<br />I left my sorrows and so much more</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />On my skin there’s still a trace<br />of salt and eternal teardrops<br /> Like a neverending pool<br />All the way to Istanbul<br />Where emperors make the rules<br />And poor people still tend their crops<br />With all these stories to tell<br />The sea is the deepest well<br />The Mediterranean light<br />such a beautiful sight<br />A thousand colours now veil her<br />To her I’ll sing my lines<br />Drink a glass of red wine<br />And lead the life of a sailor<br /><br />Then return where I belong<br />“Nací en el Mediterráneo”<br /><br />Like the waves you come and go<br />And cover the land with kisses<br />Then follow the beaten track<br />And never think of coming back<br />The constancy that you lack<br />Is what every woman misses<br />Who loves and fears her youth<br />Who knows and values and wants the truth</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br />From now till the day I die<br />I’ll treasure the final hours<br />Faithful to what I wrote<br />I’ll disembark my boat<br />Watch it stay afloat<br />Adorn it with fragrant flowers<br />I’ll be buried in the sand<br />Between water and land<br />On top of the highest mountain<br /> My tears drop like a fountain<br />Melt away in the distance<br />My body will be enshrined<br />In the thick forest of pines<br />As proof of my existence<br /><br />I return where I belong<br />“Nací en el Mediterráneo”</span><br />

I was fortunate to attend four musical events, two of which I will mention here. First I was fortunate to attend a concert at the Palau de la Música by the sixteen year old violin Valencian prodigy Jacobo Christensen, who delighted us with marvelously played music by composers ranging from J. Sebastian Bach to Enrique Granados. </span></div>

Most of the music was familiar to the audience because it included a selection among the greatest music written for top movies like: Gone With the Wind, West Side Story, My Fair Lady, The Godfather, Fiddler on the Roof, Parque Jurasico and others. The second part of the concert included one of the old favorites in the United States, “Caravan”, by Duke Ellington. The outdoor theater was completely full, but my cousin Iraida convinced the concerts management to let me sit in the first row, as shown in the photograph.</span><br />

A very knowledgeable tour guide walked with us and told us about its many ages and rulers, including the moors and several European nations. It was very interesting to see how Albarracin protected itself from attackers, using the surrounding river, the immense wall and its clever architecture. </span></div>

Currently I am using pastel crayons to paint a picture of a street-scene in Albarracin. Also, I’m framing a magnificent photograph taken by artist Luis Gil, showing Albarracin, high on the hills and surrounded by colorful trees in Autumn. </span><br />

Since my last visit to that city with my wife Letizia in 1998 I notice the city moves faster and there are a lot more tourists. Jose Maria, a family relative was my wonderful guide, was born in Barcelona and knows every corner and building in the city. We delighted in walking Las Ramblas and many other streets, toured La Sagrada Familia and Gaudi’s home up on the hills. We dined in the well-known restaurant named “Caracoles”, where we ate a delicious paella that reminded us of the region of Valencia, where that world-famous dish originated. The trip was indeed an experience I will always remember.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Two years ago I moved to Gainesville, Virginia, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">located in the greater metropolitan area of Washington, District of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Columbia. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The residential community of Heritage Hunt, where I live </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">now, is composed primarily of retired persons over 55 years old and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">is located </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in the village of Gainesville, Virginia. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why did I move away </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">from the area of Valley Forge after living there for 53 years, you may </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ask. Well, for the same reason that approximately 90% of the people </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in my residential community moved here: to live near members of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">our family.

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It is a coincidence that this region of the Greater Washington, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">DC area where I live now is the same one where I lived during my </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">first four years in the USA. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In 1947 I arrived in the city of Washington </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">DC after a three-day trip originating in Miranda, a small village near </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Santiago de Cuba. It would be difficult to find two places in North </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">America that were more different than sugar-cane processing </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Miranda and the sparkling, monument filled Washington DC; but</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">here I was, sixty- nine years ago, a wide-eyed immigrant teen-age r</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">eady to attend college.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the rest of this brief article I will try to tell </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">you my impressions of the differences between Washington then </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and how it is now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First of all, the biggest physical different is the countryside or </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">suburbs surrounding city of Washington, DC. The city center has not </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">changed much, because it has the same majestic monuments like the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Monument, etc. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">suburbs, however, have changed significantly. For instance, in the old </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">times, if I wanted to go out in the countryside when I ventured </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">outside the campus in the Catholic University of America, all I </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">needed to do was to take a brisk walk beyond the area covered by </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the College and the surrounding monasteries, convents and smaller </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">colleges around Michigan Avenue. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now there are urban areas and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">residential suburbs blanketing the countryside for a radius of 60 </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">kilometers or more. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For instance, the area in Virginia where I live </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">now had a many farms for breeding horses. That is why the names of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the towns, subdivisions and streets are about horses. To illustrate, the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">town nearest to my town of Gainesville is Haymarket, a name which </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">suggests horse-food. Furthermore, in my community of Heritage </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Hunt they name most streets after famous racehorses or horserace</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">subjects such as Victory Gallop.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">To transport the large number of workers living in this immense </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">metropolitan area has required the construction of many large roads.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Major roads such as the legendary Route 66, renowned as the most </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">challenging commuter road in the USA, have high occupancy lanes, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">where vehicles with more than one passenger are given lane-priority </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that cuts commuting time for those vehicles considerably. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The most </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">effective approach to this high-traffic challenge was the construction </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of the METRO rail network, which includes many sections </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">underground. METRO is considered one of the most efficient urban </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">transportation systems in North America. Yet, there is still heavy </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">traffic, particularly during “rush hours” when most commuters are </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">going to work or returning from work. This heavy demand for public </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">transportation occurs in many high-population cities in Spain and all </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">around the world. Like many global challenges in a growing world, it </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">will require the innovative technological efforts of future scientists, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">urban planners and engineers, some found among good students like you.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another difference that I found between my time as a student </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">in Washington and today is communication. Back in the nineteen </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">forties, communication between relatively poor students like me and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">their families in other countries was difficult. Writing letters and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">sending emergency cablegrams (many of which read: “SEND </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">MONEY”) were still among the principal methods of international</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">çcommunication. There was international telephone, but phone calls</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">between the USA and other countries was expensive and inefficient.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My father and mother were worried sometimes not knowing the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">condition of their teen-age son for prolonged periods. Our partial</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">solution to the problem involved a certain degree of high technology.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes we communicated by using amateur radio stations in the</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">USA communicating by radio with Peña, a friend of the family who</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">owned a personal amateur radio station in Miranda, Cuba.</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Sometimes I communicated by phone with an amateur radio station </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">that would relay the transmission by amateur radio, but at times I </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">was invited to visit the residence of the amateur radio station owner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Availability of opportunities to communicate with my parents in this </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">manner were limited, but I considered them as a luxury.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What a difference with the improved and relatively inexpensive t</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">elephone communications of today! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For instance, when my </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">granddaughter Katie spent a semester studying in Europe, the family </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">here in Virginia talked or “texted” to her frequently by phone. When </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">my son Mark spent several years working in Germany, we </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">communicated frequently by phone, something that reduced his </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">home-sickness and his parents’ longing to hear from him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><a data-ved="0ahUKEwihhNOu8_LMAhUBtRQKHdCbCAsQjRwIBw" href="http://speedtexting.net/" id="irc_mil" jsaction="mousedown:irc.rl;keydown:irc.rlk;irc.il;" style="border-image: none; border: 0px currentColor;"><img alt="" height="322" id="irc_mi" src="http://speedtexting.net/img/imgPhone.gif" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="400" /></a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Of course, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">there was no Internet in the nineteen forties but today it is one of</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">the main methods of communication between students and their </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">parents. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">What would they do without the e-mail and texting?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I had a college assignment requiring in-depth research I </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">would take the Michigan Avenue trolley during the week-end and, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">after a transfer or two, arrive at the Library of Congress downtown, a </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">building which occupied a ground area almost the size of the Capitol </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Building. I spend hours looking for the information. Today we have </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">access to information equivalent to dozens—perhaps hundreds of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Libraries of Congress. All the student has to do is click the right name </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">or phrase in the proper “search engine” such as “Google </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">and—Presto!, he has many sources of information to choose from.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The last difference I want to relate to you between my World as </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a student in the nineteen forties and now is access to amusement </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">areas. My favorite amusement park in the Washington DC area, as a </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">student, was Glenn Echo, a legendary park similar to the historic </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Conney Island in Brooklyn, New York. Glen Echo was easily accesible </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">by trolley and provided a wealth of memories and fun. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Today the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">region surrounding Washington DC has many small local amusement</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">parks, many of which are located near towns and residential areas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the most frequented large parks is Kings Dominium, located</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">near Richmond, Virginia. Much larger than Glen Echo, it has a r</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">emarkable collection of roller coasters, among other amusements.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The names of some of these roller coasters will give you an idea of t</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">he exciting rides they provide: Intimidation, Anacondia (featuring a </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">snake-like trajectory), Flight of Fear, Dominator, Volcano Coaster, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Grisly Bear, Avalanche, etc. Kings Dominion, like all the larger </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">amusement parks, has a variety of rides and attractions in addition </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">to roller coasters, all of which make this a very pleasant living area </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">for youngsters.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have seen the changes that occur in a region such as the </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">greater metropolitan area of Washington, DC during the period of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">seven decades. This vast change is typical of urban areas such as </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">those occurring around large cities in Spain and the rest of the key </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">countries in the industrialized world. Most of the changes are good, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">but growth has its challenges and it is up to you, the younger </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">generation to preserve and enhance the world’s environment and </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">peace to ensure its continued enjoyment by you and future </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">generations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I look forward to seeing some of you, dear friends, during my </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">visit to Spain in June of this year</span>.<br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The worldwide community of museums will celebrate International Museum Day on and around 18th May 201.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The theme of 2016 International Museum Day will be <b><i>Museums and Cultural Landscapes</i></b><i>.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The objective of International Museum Day is to
raise awareness of the fact that, “Museums are an important means of
cultural exchange, enrichment of cultures and development of mutual
understanding, cooperation and peace among peoples.” </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Organised on and around 18th May each year, the events and activities planned to celebrate International Museum Day can last a day, a weekend or a whole week. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Participation in International Museum Day is growing
among museums all over the world. In 2015, more than 35,000 museums
participated in the event in some 145 countries.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span class="text_exposed_show">The IMD provides the opportunity for museum professionals to meet the
public and alert them as to the challenges that museums face. Indeed,
following the definition of museums provided by ICOM, a museum is <i>a
non-profit, permanent institution in the service of society and its
development, open to the public, which acquires, conserves, researches,
communicates and exhibits the tangible and intangible heritage of
humanity and its environment for the purposes of education, study and
enjoyment</i>. International Museum Day therefore serves as a platform
to raise public awareness on the role museums play in the development of
society today, on an international level. </span></span> <br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">The International Day of Families is observed on the 15th of May every year. The Day was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">and reflects the importance the international community attaches to families. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">The International Day provides an opportunity to promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">The International Day of Families has inspired a series of awareness-raising events, including national family days. In many countries, that day provides an opportunity to highlight different areas of interest and importance to families. Activities include workshops and conferences, radio and television programmes, newspaper articles and cultural programmes highlighting relevant themes.</span></span></span><br />

</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Friendship Island represented Riley's sense of friendship, especially with her best Minnesota friend Meg,

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Friendship Island was lost one day
after its core memory, when Riley (under Anger's
control) got angry at Meg for getting a new best friend. It was
restored and expanded by the time Riley turned 12. A "friendly argument"
section was opened. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Riley lost this island after failing
to play properly on the first tryouts at San Francisco, much to her
anger. Hockey Island was eventually restored by a happy and angry
memory. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Honesty Island represents Riley's sense of integrity. Its design
includes a greek temple and a justice court hammer. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It was rapidly
destroyed two days after its core memory was lost, when Riley stole her mother's credit card. As the others, it was eventually restored. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Family Island is by far the largest and strongest of the islands. It
is dominated by a monumental statue of Riley surrounded by her parents,
and includes family-related details like the family car, a swing or a
genealogical tree. It notably incorporates a trampoline, which is used
by Joy to
finally get back to Headquarters at the end of the film. Family Island
was the last island to stand following the loss of its core memory. Its
resilience was such that, unlike the other islands, it didn't go down
all at once but piece by piece, as Riley was running away. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Family Island was also the first Island to be restored, now even
larger than before as it incorporated elements from the landscape of San
Francisco, such as the Golden Gate Bridge. It becomes Riley's central
island, and is now powered by a both joyful and sad memory. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Goofball Island is Joy's favorite island, featuring many colourful
wheels and a big sculpture of a goofy face. It represented Riley's
childhood goofiness and was the biggest island after Family. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Goofball
Island was the first Island to be destroyed, which happened when
Riley's father
tried to make her smile by acting goofy. By the time Riley turned 12,
Goofball had been restored, though in a slightly smaller form. </span></span><br />

<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/mother-tongue/11750994/Why-Pixars-Inside-Out-is-the-best-childrens-film-ever-made.html"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Why Pixar's Inside Out is the best children's film ever made</span></span></a></h1>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Until Riley was uprooted, Joy had always been the star of the show;
the predominant emotion in her head. But faced with such a momentous
change, Sadness takes centre stage. As Joy desperately battles to make
everything right in Riley’s head, she begins to learn that it just isn’t
possible. She needs to let Sadness take over. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><img alt="" class="irc_mi iM4FUFXYNeks-pQOPx8XEepE" src="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141212013646/pixar/images/a/a6/Inside-Out-Q%26A-Joy-Sadness.jpg" height="393" style="margin-top: 0px;" width="425" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> And so it is that the most unlikely of emotions saves the day,
and makes everything better. The lesson we have learnt by the end is a
powerful one that is is all-too unusual in the upbeat world of movies
for kids: it’s ok to be sad. Crucial, even. </span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This April 7th marks <b>World Health Day (WHD)</b>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">For the first time ever, WHO has chosen diabetes as its theme for WHD in 2016.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The number of people living with diabetes has almost
quadrupled since 1980 to 422 million adults, with most living in
developing countries. Factors driving this dramatic rise include
overweight and obesity, WHO announced ahead of World Health Day. </span> <br />
<br />
<br />

<h3 class="teaser_kicker ">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Halt the rise</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> More and more people are getting diabetes around the world. The
increase is in great part driven by rising levels of overweight and
obesity and physical inactivity, including among children.</span>

<h3 class="teaser_kicker ">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Eat healthy</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
A healthy diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in sugar
and saturated fats can help prevent Type 2 diabetes, and also help
people to manage Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes if they have it.</span>
<br />
<br />
<img alt="" src="http://www.idf.org/sites/default/files/pictures/infographic-reduce-your-risk.jpg" height="320" style="height: 858px; width: 600px;" width="223" /><br />
<br />
<h3 class="teaser_kicker ">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Be active</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
Being physically active – through at least 30 minutes of
regular, moderate-intensity activity on most days – can help prevent
Type 2 diabetes and its complications, as well as help people to better
manage Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes if they have it. </span>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><img alt="World Health Day 2016 poster: If in doubt, check" src="http://www.who.int/entity/campaigns/world-health-day/2016/poster-in-doubt-check.png" height="400" width="282" /> </span><br />
<h3 class="teaser_kicker ">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If in doubt, check!</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
Symptoms for diabetes include thirst, hunger, weight loss,
fatigue and blurred vision. However, many people who have diabetes do
not have symptoms. If people think they might have the disease,
consulting a health-care professional is recommended. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><img alt="World Health Day 2016 poster: Follow medical advise" src="http://www.who.int/entity/campaigns/world-health-day/2016/poster-follow-advice.png" height="400" width="282" /> </span><br />
<h3 class="teaser_kicker ">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Follow medical advise</span></h3>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">
A range of treatments exists to manage diabetes and control
blood glucose, including through eating healthy, being active, taking
prescribed medication, controlling blood pressure, and avoiding tobacco
use. People with diabetes can live well if they follow a treatment plan
developed together with their health-care provider.</span>
