Castañeda Journalism Scholarship Fundación Educativa Carlos M. Castañeda (FECMC) granted its annual journalism scholarship to Venezuelan student Arianne Alcorta, who graduated recently from the University of Miami with a B.S. in journalism and theater. Arianne will study for a Masters in Journalism in Columbia University in New York. Prompted by the crisis in Venezuela since the beginning of this year, Arianne produced a documentary in less than three weeks that evidenced the violation of human rights in her native country. Her documentary in English and Spanish, Venezuela Fights for Freedom/Venezuela lucha por la libertad, went viral on YouTube and was seen by almost half a million people in just a few days. It was an indescribable joy and a great honor for me and my family to receive such a prestigious scholarship from Fundación Educativa Carlos M. Castañeda, said Arianne. You can watch the documentary here: http://youtu.be/a_wz8yivkcm For information about this scholarship and the FEC- MC, visit www.fecmc.org.

Asegúrese de estar bien preparado y de mantenerse informado revisando a diario las pantallas donde pondremos la última información sobre el tiempo y los pasos a seguir en caso de huracán. Periodista Venezolana Gana La Beca de Periodismo Carlos M. Castañeda La Fundación Educativa Carlos M. Castañeda (FECMC) otorgó su beca anual de periodismo a la venezolana Arianne Alcorta, de 21 años, recién graduada de la Universidad de Miami con un B.S. en periodismo y teatro, para realizar estudios de maestría en periodismo en la Universidad de Columbia en Nueva York. A raíz de la crisis en Venezuela desde principios de este año, Arianne produjo un documental en cuestión de tres semanas que evidenció la violación de derechos humanos en su país. Su documental en inglés y español Venezuela Fights for Freedom (Venezuela lucha por la libertad), ha sido una sensación en YouTube, visto por casi medio millón de personas en cuestión de días. Fue una alegría indescriptible y un gran honor para mí y el resto de mi familia haber recibido tan prestigiosa beca de la Fundación Educativa Carlos M. Castañeda, dijo Arianne. Aquí pueden ver el documental: http://youtu.be/a_wz8yivkcm Para información sobre esta beca y la FECMC, visite www.fecmc.org.

Page 6 Brickell Place Phase II Condominium July 2014 How to Treat Sunburn Ever have one of those days? You ve spent a couple of hours enjoying the great outdoors, you return home, and then it hits you. Your shoulders and face start to sting and you realize you ve got one bad sunburn. Next time this happens, don t just suffer through it. There are some things you can do to make the healing time better. Skin Treatments. You can now purchase aloe vera gel in your local drugstore or supermarket. This plant extract is great for cooling a burn and speeding healing. It also moisturizes your skin. There are also several types of anesthetics available that are applied as lotions or sprays. These will numb the affected area while your skin recovers. Avoid products containing benzocaine and don t cover the area with petroleum jelly, as this does not allow the heat to escape. Pain Relief. Ibuprofen or acetaminophen can relieve some of the discomfort you feel with a sunburn. Avoid aspirin however. Take a cool (not cold) bath, adding a small amount of baking soda to the water. Use cool, wet compresses on the afflicted areas, but don t use ice. Drink extra liquids to help prevent dehydration. Get Help. If your skin is simply red and painful, you ve probably suffered a first degree burn. A second degree burn will cause blisters to form on your skin. If you have extremely blistered skin, are suffering severe pain, or generally feel ill, seek the assistance of a physician immediately. Also, any sunburn in an infant under the age of one should be considered an emergency and requires immediate medical attention. It is important to try to not get another sunburn while your skin is still healing. This will only further delay healing and will cause further pain. Remember, though, that prevention is the always the best medicine. Use sunscreen when going outdoors, take a hat, and stay out of the sun during the hottest times of the day. You ll never have to treat a sunburn again! Trust your Brickell Place RESIDENT REALTORS THE MARKET IS HOT, HOT, HOT!
