Year: by delivering sexual rights of transgender and transsexual

The annual Pride LGBT (lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual) has named 2010 "year to transform." Both the state federation-FELGTB-like claims, the association of Cantabria for LGBT rights, thus put the emphasis on symbolic commemoration of June 28 to fulfill the sexual rights of transgendered people. Rights guaranteed by the international community but are still far from being guaranteed to all citizens throughout the English territory.

Sexual rights include:

Ø The right to sexual freedom
Ø The right to autonomy, integrity and security
sexual body or the right to sexual pleasure
Ø The right to emotional sexual expression
Ø The right to sexually associate freely
Ø The right to comprehensive sex education
Ø The right to reproductive decision-making free and responsible
Ø The right to information based on scientific knowledge
Ø The right to sexual health care

These rights are particularly vulnerable in the transgender and transsexual people who today continue to be stigmatized and discriminated against by public institutions . Despite legislative progress experienced in recent years (particularly State-level English with Gender Identity Law-Law 3 / 2007 of March 15, regulating the registration of the words correct on the sex of the people), has not yet been withdrawn documentation of transsexuality as mental illness in the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) which maintains the World Health Organization (WHO).

Even in a time when the English Government is committed to the WHO request the removal of transsexuality from the CIE, in the Units of Gender Identity Disorder (Utiger) established in different regions (to date in Andalusia, Asturias, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bCanarias, Extremadura, Madrid, Navarra and Basque Country) to treat called TIG, access to hormonal treatments and surgical sex reassignment remains dependent on a psychiatric diagnosis. In addition to following diagnostic criteria based on outdated gender stereotypes in today's society, the very Act 3 / 2007 requires a minimum of two years of supervised hormone therapy to change a name on ID or resorting to surgery. In this context, trans people who attend Utiger enter an evaluation process without certainty about life. This requirement challenges the other hand medicalization of state intervention in personal decisions about own body. Intervention raises the need to assess the impact of the Act as a whole, and particularly the impact of health policy derived from it in the health of its users.

However, despite this context, Utiger are necessary to provide care to people in need and avoid the risks of not providing comprehensive health care for gender reassignment, including self-medication without proper hormonal monitoring and potential adverse effects that increase the morbidity of people who undergo them. In addition to the risks posed by the black market for treatment, for example, liquid silicone replacement of breast implants, which can cause serious health problems.

disinformation health professionals about the process that transgender and transsexual people have to follow, encourage and require the implementation of protocols that give satisfactory answers to the demands felt by those affected and their families, answers to be reflected in the achievement of an adequate state of health of this population group. The same is guaranteed by an integrated approach to transgender and transsexual people, so as to achieve the standards of care and facilitate personal development and quality of life for everyone involved. A priority for this reason that primary care professionals know this process and have a drive and / or reference professionals within or outside the Autonomous Community, to attend this user group health system. In communities such as Cantabria that does not have a Utiger, it is necessary for the health system considered well the formation of a unit or establishment of a convention for people who need this service can be accessed at another communities with Utiger.

Various associations in defense of sexual rights and the right to health of trans people, as the Network for Trans Depathologization and the same association Cantabria Claims, promoted as the name implies a process of depathologization transsexuality and transgender to integrate the participation of stakeholders through the following steps:

Ø A model of care that does not consider transsexualism as a mental disorder or pathology but that is based on the recognition of gender identity and right to decide over their own bodies. Ø
Failure to follow the current diagnostic criteria of "gender identity disorder" in the DSM-IV manual of mental disorders American) and ICD-10.
Ø Free access to hormone therapy and reassignment surgeries gender, through a process of shared decision-making and informed consent. Ø
personalized attention that recognizes the diversity of gender identities and priorities for treatment of trans people.
or replacement of the evaluation function of the professional role of information and support in the treatment process.
Ø The availability of a counseling service non-binding. Ø
trans movement's participation in the development of clinical protocols and management of trans-specific care.

This speech processor with respect to the identities depathologization trans and autonomy of the body must also permeate the health system at a time when the same movement for the rights of transgender people in their own dilemma debate between the struggle for the right to treatment and the fight against compelled speech by legislation. Clearly the defense of personal autonomy of the trans community, like the general population does not in any way defend the right to treat trans people who have chosen this path for their lives.

Knowledge is an innovative value

The Green Paper Towards a Basque society based on 2030 values \u200b\u200breleased by Innovative Innobasque as a proposal for debate, knowledge cited as one of the four values \u200b\u200bto promote innovative. Sounds right, hardly anyone will discuss their relevance in to achieve an innovative society.

O yes. In the post The dirty little secret of Management Gary Hamel alerts us to the ephemeral nature of knowledge.

"In a world of knowledge for general consumption, yields are going to companies that can produce knowledge nonstandard."

"In all industries, there are plenty of critical knowledge that have been commoditized, and the rest will soon. What matters now is how quickly a company can generate new ideas and build new knowledge of the type that enhances customer value. "

The Green Paper describes the knowledge and the resource key raw material and process innovation explicitly states that knowledge must be prior to innovation. The view from Gary Hamel is interesting because it changes the order of factors: innovation is precisely to generate new knowledge. Knowledge is a product of innovation, not raw materials. Maybe not a final product, but product after all. However

something that lies in the Green Paper itself as between different types of knowledge, called knowledge that identifies the continuum. And indeed, in the synthesis or final definition of knowledge as a value, packaged with the learning.

Without referring specifically to innovation, not Seth Godin thinks that raw knowledge, by itself, can be considered an indispensable asset for a company or professional. This is an excerpt from his book Are you indispensable? .

"The depth of knowledge alone is not enough. The shared knowledge Wikipedia and the Internet brings us make field knowledge alone is worth significantly less today. Nowadays, if all you can offer many knowledge of those in the reference books, you're a loser, because the Internet knows more than you. "

"Depth knowledge combined with a good criterion is worth a lot. The depth of knowledge combined with diagnostic techniques or nuanced insight also worth a lot. In contrast, knowledge by itself, I find it much cheaper and faster to consult an expert on the Internet. "

E illustrates his claims with divergent paths, starting from a similar situation, followed by companies run by Rick Wagoner and Alan Mulally. The first, although a perfect knowledge of the automotive industry and the culture of General Motors, not in vain throughout his brilliant career it had developed in the company, failed to prevent their failure. Yes Alan knew how to do Mulally at Ford, even though it came from Boeing with a complete ignorance of the sector and enterprise. All knowledge of Wagoner did not help, contrary to the clear vision and leadership skills of Mulally.

The truth is that I find hard to take the knowledge and value innovation. To say that knowledge is necessary for innovation is obvious. It's like saying you need air balloons to fly. That is the key. A firm may hoard tons of knowledge, this has never been lacking in good company as always, and yet be quite conservative in culture, approach and vision. Values \u200b\u200bare what moves us to action, what we have to guide and encourage the creative and difficult process of transformation.

When Is It The Best Time To Wax Legs

A happy Collector

characters is common in sports monetize their experience in leadership and group management to provide training and advice to managers. Jorge Valdano and remember your company Make a team.

The Argentine Marcelo Bielsa, coach of Chile today is not any character. Also offers lectures to executives. Here are some pearls that I draw the column against Spain Bielsa Chilean writer Arthur Fontaine in The Country:

"I realize that I need to know Therefore, "" Instincts are as effective as the steadfast, "" not only to do what is fitting, but also giving peace of mind "," most commonly happens what we deserve, "" if not enjoy the travel, the arrival does not give pleasure, "" he did not want my players, it would be impossible to win, "" should always know what you do not know, "" the leader seeks to be interpreted more than obeyed, "" good Work is what arouses the accession ".

But in the end adds" it all just before the failure ". Not surprisingly, Bielsa is defined as a collector of failures . Although not matter much:

But success and happiness do not work as synonyms. I am a specialist in failure and know well that the adhesions are lost when you just success. There are successful people who are not happy, and happy people do not need to success. Success is an exception rather than a continuum.

The success indifference and the fatalism of Bielsa, I bring to mind the great poem by another Argentine, Jorge Luis Borges:

Knew that victory and defeat
are indifferent faces of Azar,
no other virtue than being brave
and marble, at last, be forgotten.

A linchpin talkative failures also highlights and makes the work that matters

In his post Amplifying the lizard brain , Seth Godin makes a very brief description of what you should do what he calls an axis (linchpin), an appropriate professional for these times: speak out and doing work that matters. Talk.

That is exactly what has made Luis Aragones. 've talked about what it means and what I asked to speak . Has your opinion about the approach and the development of football match played and lost to forecast the English team in their debut World Cup in South Africa. Luis is not in vain in the tournament as a commentator on Al Jazeera.

happens that Luis is the former coach and architect of the current team, his style of play and their triumphs. That is why critical opinion has bothered much to the federation and the current coaching staff. Luis Aragones has been a diplomat nor elegant, but not offensive or rude. But some media have amplified the words of Louis to challenge the current coach, without assuming the responsibility of the critic. By the way Luis has been presented as a mean and spiteful character. Perhaps

Luis I have some of this has never been an exemplary, but what has been in recent years is a technician and a brave commentator, someone who has followed his approach against all odds, as when ignored in the selection of Raul , the most influential English player of the last decade, no matter out of their comfort zone and be exposed to widespread criticism. Luis not only speaks, but also stands out and is capable of doing work that matters. A real linchpin, one of those people able to achieve things that at first many were craving utopian. As the English football team win a tournament.

Indeed. The situation of English football after this first match of the world is familiar. Top Favorites acclaimed team facing a new tournament with a different coach who led his previous wins and reap bad results in their first matches. All this happened almost a year with the English national basketball championship in Europe. And in the end won the tournament literally sweeping their opponents in successive quarters, semifinals and final.

The document begins by explaining what is the right to health and exposing their impact on certain individuals and groups, then pointing to the obligations of States in this area and providing an overview of the mechanisms of monitoring and accountability at national, regional and international.

The right to health is more than access to health care. Includes a wide range of factors that can contribute to a healthy life. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural United Nations are called "underlying determinants of health." They are:

celebrate the INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FOR WOMEN'S HEALTH (May 28) with a discussion forum with the public has ended Cantabrian


International Day of Action for Women's Health is commemorated every May 28 since 1987, at the request of the Global Network for Reproductive Rights and the V International Meeting Women and Health held in San José de Costa Rica, took the decision to start a sustained campaign of Action for Women's Health. This campaign keeps the purpose of reaffirming the right to health of women as a human right and to influence policy-making levels promoting changes to ensure the health of women.

This year the Ministry of Health, Directorate General of Public Health and the Public Health Observatory Cantabria commemorated the International Day of Action for Health of Women calling for women and citizens in general to Cantabria discussion about what women think about health. The results of the Survey of Health Cantabria contextualize the debate allowed on those highlights in it that we consider of interest to women and men of Cantabria.
The description of health status perceived by the population of Cantabria, according to the results of the Survey of Health opens a wide field to analyze the potential inequities that may be influenced by gender determinants in the middle physical environment in which live people of all ages, socioeconomic and educational levels.

patterns and social and cultural prototypes in terms of relationships and roles that men and women develop in everyday life have a clear impact on their health and quality of life.

The first point to note is that women Cantabria, as in other regions, have a poorer perception of health status than men, referring 78% of their health status was good or very good compared with 70% of women. The profile of a woman who lives in a small town and belongs to the most disadvantaged socioeconomic class poses a greater risk for physical and mental health. Furthermore, women suffer more chronic diseases (67% women and 55% men) and with age, a greater dependence, increasing the risk of accidents, mainly in the domestic sphere. But men have a higher level of stress at work, although not at increased risk of poor mental health.

consumption of prescription and nonprescription drugs is higher in women than in men (68% and 52% respectively) of all socioeconomic classes and educational levels, there is a tendency to increase consumption in both sexes as decreases the level of education and social class.

The gender constraints begin to be displayed in the earliest ages, highlighting the difference between boys and girls in the field of physical activity. On one side is seen as promoting more intense physical exercise in children, with girls who have higher rates of inactivity (girls 10 to 15 years have a rate of inactivity of more than twice that of children , 18% and 8% respectively). Similarly, in the use of television and video game use, computer or Internet can be seen similar differences in the behavior of children, with children in general, greater use compared to girls. A striking difference between boys and girls from 1 to 4 years and use these technologies (21% 13% of boys and girls), and in the age group 10 to 15 years in the percentage girls who do not use is 7 times higher than boys (34% and 5% respectively). Also shows the influence of socioeconomic class on the leisure habits of people under, with boys and girls from lower social classes who spend more time watching television, while the more affluent classes longer play video games, computer or Internet.

The health-related habits, such as snuff and alcohol consumption, and diet or physical activity practice have a socio-economic background can lead to a higher level of inequality in health. In their analysis evidenced a marked social gradient and gender.

34% of men and 29% of women smoke daily in Cantabria, frequencies higher than the national average of 32% of men and 22% women. Although snuff men consume more than women, a higher proportion of men than women had reduced their smoking habits in relation to smoking 2 years before (30% and 22.8% respectively). By contrast, smokers not only have not reduced their habit, but also a higher percentage of women than men has increased consumption (24.7% of women and 19.5% of men smoke more than two years ago.)

Among adults of both sexes there are significant differences related to physical exercise in leisure time. Men do more exercise than women throughout life, reaching these higher levels of physical inactivity at the age of 16 to 24 years (55% men and 34% of women of this age do some kind of physical activity in their spare time). In addition many women as men belonging to the lowest socio-economic classes and less educated are the least exercise performed.

In general, men eating worse that women have a higher incidence of overweight and obesity despite more physical activity in their free time (63% men and 44% of women were overweight or obese). It is relevant to the direct relationship of socioeconomic status as a determinant of the high rate of overweight among both women as in men, being more pronounced in the lower social classes and with lower educational level. However, overweight women less than men in all socioeconomic classes and educational levels. Also noteworthy is the greatest excess weight and obesity in people living in smaller municipalities.

In relation to home care, family and dependents are women who spend more time in all areas. It also shows a growing trend in the time spent by women the lower educational level and purchasing power. It has been observed at the same time as men have the highest percentages of no commitment to these tasks, and when they do engage in them together with others, while women assume this responsibility largely alone. Housework and child care is where women spend more on its own, 54% of women and 6% of men do unassisted household chores, while 38% of women and 1% of men take care of themselves and their own children under 15 years. Moreover, in the care of elderly and disabled, women are significantly more engaging solo, while men do so in a higher percentage of the household, and children, 54% women and 11% of men care alone to people over 74, and 39% women and 10% of men work alone to care for people with disabilities. Women therefore have a high burden of care work and home can have a negative impact on their health and able to provide an explanation for the poor perception of health of women of all ages, with the potential gradient of poorer mental health, more frequent users of health services and increased medicalization.

The crucial decision to be taken Metaposta

Last week was the company Metaposta . Metaposta is a secure mail service through which any entity can send us documentation varied as invoices, notices administrative, communications, banking and everything now a citizen receives in his mailbox, and promptly filed in a folder. It is not a metaphor, that is exactly the nature of service: Metaposta to replacing it to the folder (s) or file (s) that we all have somewhere in our house where we store the deeds or the lease of housing, income tax returns in recent years, various contracts and bills (water, electricity, gas, telecommunications, insurance, banking, etc), medical reports, etc. Opinions

bit optimistic about the future success of an initiative. Just yesterday I read a tweet critical. A popular friend and partner in a thousand battles, neither is clear. As it makes no sense today to offer disk space: does anyone and practically zero cost. The truth is that it points to one of the key features of the Internet today: the commoditization of services. Enter this battle is pointless.

But my view is wrong: Metaposta disk space does not sell, sells trust. Obviously also comfort and functionality, but the differential attribute is trust. Sell \u200b\u200bconfident that no one can access our most important documents or people besides us that we authorize, we will not lose this documentation by an accident, it will not close on any given day and goodbye to our documents, as any legal effect and legal documentation is valid and is well guarded. This last point is important, we are talking about security not only in technological terms but above all, legal.

Metaposta In this sense points to a major need in the Information Society: the transactions and make more reliable electronic content so that they have the same guarantees as their physical counterparts. This is an emerging market to be an important development to over the coming years. Generation services such as and custody of electronic evidence. There are already companies that are offered as a trusted third party, neutral testifies to electronic transactions and their content, keeping evidence with probative value for hypothetical lawsuits. However

Metaposta have to make sooner or later a critical decision that will determine whether the future will be just one more player in the increasingly competitive market confidence or aspires to become the leader of the same for many years.

Metaposta is a "safe box" that can serve as back office and even unimaginable for multiple services, different industry solutions. Metaposta provide all these services the plus technical and legal security they need. And the decision to make is whether Metaposta will try to deploy these services itself in a closed form of marketing or, by contrast, aspires to become an open platform on which anyone can build services that require that extra confidence.

words, to become the Google, eBay or Amazon in confidence. Because companies that succeed in the current Internet does not simply provide services. Many of them do not directly. They understand that they themselves will not be able to imagine and build services that can succeed in the future, the "crowd" I will always do better. What they do is to offer open platforms on which anyone can build these services. And in that base their business model.

This is the decision to make Metaposta: platform services.
