La mayoría de las viviendas en Cuba no cuentan con gas de red, que alcanza sólo a algunas pocas zonas residenciales en La Habana, por lo que dependen de los cilindros o tanques.
After that shooting, 43 Jewish organizations issued a joint statement requesting more support from the U.S. government for enhanced security measures. Specifically, they asked Congress to increase funding to the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to $1 billion.“Every Jewish organization has been serious about security for years. We have to be,” said Rabbi Rick Jacobs, president of the Union for Reform Judaism. “The grants are to harden the buildings, for things like cameras and glass, and some kind of blockage so they can’t drive a truck into the building.”
“These are the everyday realities of Jewish life in the 21st century in America. It’s a sad reality, but it is an essential responsibility of leadership to make sure that people are first and foremost safe.”Shira Hutt, executive vice president at The Jewish Federations of North America, said existing federal funds were inadequate, with only 43% of last year’s applicants to the grant program receiving funding., she said increased funding for local law enforcement is also crucial.
“Thankfully, the attack was stopped before even further damage could have been done,” she said. “This is really now a full-blown crisis, and we need to make sure that we have all the support necessary.”One of the Jewish Federation’s state-based affiliates, JEWISHcolorado, on Tuesday launched an emergency fund to raise $160,000 in support of the Boulder community. Its goals include enhancing safety and security measures for Jewish institutions and events.

Formula regulations in the U.S. and Europe, including requirements for nutrients and testing, differ somewhat, but are generally similar, Abrams said.“The differences between the U.S. and Europe should not be considered as ‘higher’ or ‘better’ or ‘greater’ in one vs. the other,” he said.
Still, iron, for instance, is included at higher levels in U.S. formulas than in those in Europe — and Abrams suggested that U.S. officials may consider lowering iron targets.Other components have been added to formula in recent years. They include docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, an essential omega-3 fatty acid, and human milk oligosaccharides, complex sugars that are found breast milk but not in cow’s milk. Although they may be beneficial, they are not required.
