Mientras Puerto Rico enfrenta una emergencia por sequía y miles de familias se preparan para el racionamiento de agua, el gobierno de Jenniffer González Colón, a través de la OGPe, aprueba el proyecto Esencia en Cabo Rojo, aun cuando existe un señalamiento público de que no hay capacidad para suplir la demanda de agua que generaría el propio desarrollo.

La contradicción es evidente: se le pide a la ciudadanía que haga sacrificios mientras se autorizan proyectos de gran escala cuya viabilidad depende de un recurso que hoy no existe.

La planificación responsable exige que la disponibilidad real de infraestructura se demuestre antes de aprobar proyectos de esta magnitud. En medio de una sequía, el agua debe administrarse con transparencia, criterio técnico y pensando primero en el interés público. #EsenciaNoVa #ElUrbanista #RescatemosElTerritorio

El Morro no es sólo de los residentes de VSJ, es de todos los puertorriqueños. Si no quieren que la vista de la bahía hacia el fuerte se convierta en lote de carros, un paLking permanente exclusivo del gobierno, háganse sentir. Aquí detalles:

— El Tren Urbano no llega al centro de población y empleos de San Juan. Por eso se percibe como “el tren a la nada”. La fase 1 se quedó corta por decisiones políticas, no técnicas. Se acortó la ruta, se abandonó la extensión…

Norway wins the most medals at the Winter Olympics, with a population of just 5.6 million. People say it’s because Norway is a winter wonderland, but they’re also elite at triathlon, beach volleyball, cycling, and as the world is now seeing, soccer.

A big part of their success is how they treat youth sports—and it’s the opposite of what we do in the US and Canada. Here’s what we can learn from Norway:

1. Scorekeeping:

In the US: Youth sports tend to be hyper competitive even at early ages. Leagues almost always keep score.

In Norway: Scorekeeping isn’t even allowed until age 13.

Removing winners and losers keeps the focus on the process not outcomes. It keeps kids engaged longer because it minimizes pressure (and tears) and maximizes fun, learning, and growth. The goal isn’t to win a third grade championship. It’s to love sport and keep playing.

2. Trophies:

In the US: If you give everyone a trophy, you’re creating snowflakes who will never gain a competitive edge.

In Norway: Whenever trophies are awarded, they are handed out to everyone.

If getting a trophy makes young kids feel good, we should give them trophies. Maybe they’ll come back and play again next year!!

As for the creation of snowflakes with no competitive edge—Norway’s athletes are tough as nails and all they do is win.

3. Prioritizing Fun:

In the US: Far too often, the goal is to win.

In Norway: The national philosophy is “joy of sport.”

Youth sports in the US are driven by adults, ego, and money. Youth sports in Norway are driven by fun.

Only half of kids in the US participate in sports. The number one reason they drop out: because they aren’t having fun anymore. In Norway, 93% of kids participate in youth sports. Fun is the foremost goal.

4. Playing Multiple Sports:

In the US: There’s pressure to specialize early and play your best sport year round.

In Norway: Try as many sports as you can before specializing as late as college.

Norway encourages kids to try all types of sport. This reduces injury and burnout and increases all-around athleticism. It also helps promotes match quality, or finding the sport you are best suited for as your body develops, which is impossible if you commit to a single sport too early.

5. Affordability

In the US: There is increasingly a pay-to-play model with high fees for leagues, equipment, and travel. This excludes many kids from playing.

In Norway: It’s a national priority to keep youth sports affordable and therefore accessible for all.

Kids aren’t priced out, which creates opportunities for everyone to participate (and develop into athletes), regardless of their parents’ income level.

Norway’s sporting success isn’t just speculation or a nice story. A large body of research supports their approach:

• Studies show athletes who specialize later in life have a significantly higher chance of becoming elite.
• Soccer players whose motivation is primarily internal (versus external) have more than a 3x better chance of making it to an elite level.
• The number one predictor of whether or not kids stay in sport is are they having fun.
• Parents connect winning to having fun whereas kids say having fun is about being with their friends and learning.

We could learn a lot from Norway:

In the US, 70% of kids drop out of youth sports by age 13. This not only diminishes an elite-athlete pipeline, but it also destroys an opportunity for healthy habits and all the character lessons kids can learn from sport.

In Norway, lifelong participation in sport is the norm. The goal isn’t to have the best 9U team. It’s to develop the best athletes. Those are two very different things. And Norway has the medals to prove it.

Hace unas semanas veía a un hombre denunciando en sus redes sociales que despues de 15 (QUINCE) años solicitando permisos sin éxito pero pagando patente, seguros e impuestos, le cerraron su negocio de alquiler de kayaks en la laguna de Condado. Pero al hotel junto a su negocio, QUE NO OFRECÍA antes esos servicios, si le otorgaron los permisos en 30 días.

Luma/Quanta should be kicked out of operating the Puerto Rico electrical grid if only for the fact they that they insisted on raising electricity rates to cover capital expense work that Congress allocated $21 billion for #muniland. The PR Energy Bureau refused to accept that nonsense. Luma has no idea how to run a utility. https://t.co/gyCzA7lFNv

Trump suspendió la Ley Jones por 60 días. En Puerto Rico sabemos exactamente lo que pasa cuando el monopolio naviero se interrumpe. Ocurrió una vez. En 1906. Duró once meses. Está documentado.
