The household chores
of the children help them to learn to use their time in a productive way
instead of the hours that they lose watching TV or playing electronic games.
The benefits are not only academically, emotionally and professionally. They learn to integrate in the life of home in a good way and to value the efforts of the parents and the cost of the tools used in their household chores.
Indirectly, the household chores have ethical and civic benefits. The youngsters who learn from their childhood times to be active, responsible and productive, they will become good parents, hard workers and responsible citizens. 6 Recommendations

The tally of the
illegal immigrants that today live in U.S. is only a part of the problem.
The authorities have
to stop the entrance of more illegal immigrants directly in the borders and take
action against the visa expiration of the others who enter by airplane or other
transportation. 5 Recommendations 03/15/2015 02:02:13 PM
The persecution of
Christians is growing across the Islamic world. This is a very serious alarm.
Maybe we are
returning to the times of the catacombs. 2 Recommendations 03/15/2015 01:42:45 PM
If the Democrat
Party is “hostage to Hillary” the Democrats have to break the chains. In a real
democracy, no political party must be hostage of a candidate. 1 Recommendation 03/14/2015 06:07:38 PM
Hillary will look
more tired after the new Congress' hearing. 6 Recommendations 03/14/2015 05:32:47 PM

After the legendary
return of Steve Jobs to Apple and since the introduction of iPod, this

that he was member of Congress… 3 Recommendations 03/14/2015 04:44:29 PM
President Hugo
Chávez promised a lot to the Venezuelans but its political and social model was
only a fantasy for short time.
Meanwhile, he
selected as his successor a bus driver like Nicolás Maduro Moros, a man without
the basic political background to run the country in a "mediocre"
way. 2 Recommendations 03/13/2015 04:41:01 PM
When the economy of
a country does not work properly, this is the first subject in the priorities

The last events of Ferguson show that this St. Louis suburb is a bonfire.
If the local
authorities do not have the capability to calm the population with the respect
that the normal inhabitants of the city deserve, professional agitators from
everywhere will come to Ferguson to generate more violence and ambushes.
Meanwhile, it will
be good that the media and members of the federal government try to stay away
from the scene. 4 Recommendations 03/12/2015 03:31:43 PM
The Iranian
occupation of Iraq is one of the consequences of the American withdrawal in a very
unstable moment for this country.
Really, our soldiers
died in Iraq to open the road to the Iranians.
Probably, in short
time, we will see something similar in Afghanistan. 2 Recommendations 03/12/2015 02:50:29 PM
From my perspective,
the technology business is evolving faster than a provider like Intel.
If this company does
not redefine its business model and its lines of products, its problems will
continue. 03/12/2015 02:24:15 PM
Probably, Mrs.
Clinton will answer with similar reactions to the Benghazi hearing in 2013. 1 Recommendation 03/11/2015 04:48:39 PM
I think that the
decision of German Chancellor Angela Merkel to go to Moscow after the May military parade to lay a
wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Solder is appropriate in the current
circumstances. 3 Recommendations 03/11/2015 03:51:10 PM
Mrs. Clinton is
acting like the French kings of the 1700s before the French Revolution: “I am
the king (in her case: “I am the queen”), “I am the absolute power of the
country”, “I am the law”.
We are a democratic
country with laws that are over any authority (president, senator, secretary of
state…)
As an adult country,
we have a Constitution and rules for any government unit and member of the
government. And the word “convenience” is completely unacceptable in cases of
national security.
In 2016, we must not
vote for a “queen” or "king". We have to vote for a candidate of
president who will be model of public server and the first in the respect our
Constitution and laws. 9 Recommendations 03/11/2015 03:31:10 PM
According to this
story, “Hillary Clinton says not using government email was a mistake”.
Now, the open
question is how many similar mistakes she will commit if she becomes the
president of the country. 7 Recommendations 03/10/2015 04:22:40 PM
The open letter of
the forty-seven GOP Senators to the top Iranian leaders marks a new
confrontation between Republicans and the White House.
In these conditions,
the rest of the Obama’s term will be a battlefield with a big loser: the
country. 8 Recommendations 03/09/2015 03:25:36 PM
History shows that
the most savage armies did not survive when they commanders and organization could
not maintain discipline and unity of their troops.
According to the
news, Islamic State is facing the same problems. In these conditions, its
future will be short.
Definitely, the
disintegration of the Islamic State does not imply the end of the terrorism.
Savage groups of criminals with strange ideologies will continue shaking the
world and the foundation of our civilization. 3 Recommendations 03/09/2015 01:36:51 PM
An oil
transportation system based on trains is more vulnerable and complicated than a

Five men to clean
the murder of Boris Nemtsov! Now, Mr. Putin can sleep without bad dreams. Chechnya helped him to erase suspicions. 1

The title of this
story “A Better World, Run by Women” is discrimination against the men.
We cannot fix the
discrimination of centuries against women, pointing now against men.
There are good women
and men and bad women and men in the business and political spheres. 5

When we read this
article titled “How America Was Misled on al Qaeda’s Demise”, we conclude that
the United States killed the “man” named Osama bin Laden but it didn’t kill his
brains (his ideas and plans, his master creation: al Qaeda).
The unfinished
Operation Neptune Spear shows again the poor perspective that the White House
administration had during the last few years in the fighting against the
terrorism. They tortured prisoners to take “intelligence”, but they didn’t
study in deep the “intelligence” that they have through the documents and
electronic files of Osama bin Laden. Very regrettable! 6 Recommendations 03/06/2015 03:11:11 PM
In the hurry for a
deal with Iran, the Obama administration is losing the perspective of the whole
Middle-East.
Nobody is evaluating
the “price” of gaining a new friend like Iran compared with the real value of the old
friends that will leave us. 5 Recommendations 03/05/2015 04:07:46 PM
The announcement of
a larger-screen iPad with USB 3.0 technology is a new warning for the
manufacturers of mobile computers.
A digital tablet
with bigger screen (12.9 inch) and the connectivity of USB 3.0 is a strong step
into the PC world. 03/05/2015 03:41:06 PM
It is predictable
that everybody in the Middle-East will make the impossible to have nuclear
bombs. Nobody wants the Iran puts its feet over their heads.
Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates like Israel are countries with their own national pride.
And their leaders know that the current negotiation with Iran have “tricks” that can give advantage for
the Iranians. 03/05/2015 12:49:22 PM
Iran is testing again its influences and power in the Middle-East. And
surely, the Tikrit military operation against ISIS will be successful. 03/04/2015 03:20:19 PM
It is obvious that
the Supreme Court is divided. In very conflicted issues like the Affordable
Care Act, the Justices who are conservative will not agree with the liberals.
It will be very difficult to reach a common end. 1 Recommendation 03/04/2015 03:09:20 PM
The public comment
of Mr. Putin about the murder of Boris Nemtsov was worse than his previous
silence.
The assassination of
Mr. Nemtsov is a new political scandal that will never have a clear explanation
for the side of the Russian government. 5 Recommendations 03/04/2015 02:54:15 PM
The real problem
behind the famous “atomic bomb” is that the “bomb” in the hands of Iranians is
an instrument that Iran will use to increase its power as a
terror-ruler of Middle-East and the world. 03/03/2015 03:53:13 PM
In short, the speech
of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Congress is a small big stone
in the path for the Iranian nuclear agreement. 1 Recommendation 03/03/2015 08:52:00 AM
HP has money to go
shopping periodically; however since it bought Compaq, each acquisition has
generated more headaches than successes for the technology company. 03/02/2015 11:30:16 AM
From my humble point
of view, the attitude of the White House and some Democratic lawmakers against
the Israeli Prime Minister is childish.
With all the
aggressive propaganda against the visit of Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress,
President Obama, Susan Rice and others are blowing a big balloon over Washington DC with the following legend “Obama versus Netanyahu”.
The point is that
when you put your enemy in the top of the criticism, you are giving him more
importance. Now also the Democratic lawmakers who will not attend to the
speech, they will be pending of the revelations of Mr. Netanyahu. And after his
speech in Congress, the worldwide media from Washington DC to Berlin, Tokyo and Singapore will publish huge headlines.
From the other side,
in front of crucial decisions, it is good to hear different opinions about the case
(Iranian nuclear power). We always can learn also from people who are against
our way of thinking.
In summary, the
Netanyahu speech in the American Congress will be the SPEECH OF THE YEAR with
the help of negative propaganda of the White House. 1 Recommendation 03/02/2015 08:35:14 AM
