WHAT THE 2018 PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS REVEAL

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR The California Statewide Direct Primary Election of June 5, 2018 happened yesterday as scheduled.

It's the “2018 Primary Election”. To really understand what is seriously impacts America's Democratic governance, I suggest reading “DARK MONEY: The Hidden History of the Billionaires Behind the Rise of the Radical Right” (Publisher: Doubleday 2016; author: Jane Mayer, staff writer, The New Yorker). This book’s front page has a Louis Brandeis quote: “We must make out choice. We may have democracy, or we may have the wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both.”

“DARK MONEY” documents Koch brothers planning to use considerable (crude oil) wealth to organize Billionaires use and coordinate their money to influence elections at federal, state, and local governance levels. The current focus on NRA (National Rife Association) is currently an effective smoke screen obscuring the activity of PAC’s funded by 'DARK MONEY'. This 'movement' was initiated during 1976 and has expanded as America's economy produces more Billionaires.

For example: In CA's Governor's election DEM Gavin Newsom (92,791 votes; 48.4%) will compete against a relatively unknown REP businessman John H. Cox who garnered (27,463 votes; 14.42%).

DEM Antonio Villaraigosa (former L.A. Mayor) placed third (20,198 votes; 10.61%). PAC's spent millions promoting Cox during the past six months and Villaraigosa may have been adversely impacted by a ballot error, which confused L.A. voters who are predominantly Latinos. This particular election was impacted by the Ballot Error; the million$ supplied by well-funded PAC's not located in CA; and by low Latino GOTV participation. When will the silent non-voting majority realize that by not voting, they are really assisting the REP radical right to elect officials whose purpose and values are simply not progressive nor liberal? The outcome is that a small group (an oligarchy) ends up determining public policy and administrative priorities for this society and its economy. . For Democracy to work as intended, at least 65% of all registered voters need to actually vote. With 'VOTE BY MAIL BALLOTS' received three weeks in advance at the voter's home, a 65% 'voter participation is possible.

This example reveals why CA's State Assembly must pass legislation which funds elections and requires all PAC's to identify themselves when disseminating political advertisements or promotions not controlled nor influenced by the candidate. Such legislation must re-establish the authority and power of “We, The People” to elect any and all public officials. Also, the Supreme Court's Citizens United ruling must be reversed because corporations are not persons who speak with their money.

The total of all Santa Clara County's registered voters was 847,834 as of June 1, 2018. This includes 394,342 Democrats; 154,945

Republicans; and 269,588 citizens who declined to state a political party preference ('No Party Preference'). Readers are encouraged to go directly to the official data base by googling “Registrar of Voters, County of Santa Clara”, Home Page; click on Election Results icon; a listing of national, state and local jurisdictions presents its data content when one clicks on that category.

For example, by clicking on “Judicial”, the voting data reveal that Judge Persky's Recall Election was favored by voters (110,556 Yays; 59.80%) and (74,306 Nays; 40.20%)...100% of all precincts counted. The successor will be Cindy Seeley Hendrickson, esq.

(98,842 votes; 68.85%) whose competitor Angelica F, Storey, esq., garnered (44,711 votes; 31.15%). Note that the total votes cast (184,862 = 110,556 + 74306) is 21.8% of all registered voters (847,834)! Those 662,972 registered voters who did not vote were complicit in this recall of a judge who accepted the recommendation of others (Probation officials) and applied the existing rule of law. What needs to happen is to 'update the existing laws which Judge Persky applied. The #MeToo movement and leaders of this recall would be well advised to apply an equal level of enthusiasm and moral-ethical force to having existing legislation updated. No person should lose his/her job for their performance based on existing practices and standards of “Law and Order”. LET'S UPDATE THOSE LAWS! Many individuals from marginalized communities have experienced what Judge Persky has endured. While mainstream media focused on this recall based its sexual misconduct,

the Judge was denied 'due process' (Similar to Wisconsin's Congressman Al Franken's alleged sexual harassment; He, too was denied 'due process').

Let's now look at the field of five candidates running for the “Office of the Sheriff, County of Santa Clara”. Incumbent Sheriff Laurie Smith must be very concerned about this election cycle. (Have you noted that 'front page wraparound advertisement' published last Sunday (06.03.2018) and the following Monday in the SJ Mercury News? That must have cost a bundle of money!

report about CA State prison inmates 'returned' to the County of Santa Clara jails to relieve severely overcrowded state prisons per Federal Court orders). “How to mitigate 'mass incarceration practices' would have been timely, informative, and enabling. After all, it is “We, The People” whose taxes pay for all that goes on in that agency. Those Hispanic leaders present were polite and asked no questions about any significant issues. Ms. Smith missed an opportunity to inform. In our society, ignorance is as powerful a tool as knowledge used to keep a community marginalized.

With all precincts tallied, Sheriff Smith received (78,828 votes; 43.98%) and John Hirakawa (55,702 votes; 31.08%); Joe LeJuenesse, Jose Salcido, and Martin J. Monica received the balance of votes cast (25%). According to CA's 'Top-Two' run-off election rules, Ms. Smith and Mr. Hirakawa will now compete against each other giving registered voters a second chance voting to be tallied on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

It takes 50% plus one vote to be elected during the State Primary Election. Sheriff Smith has served five terms (25 years); is the first woman Sheriff in CA, etc.

What is important? The election of representatives who will practice 'Good Samaritan stewardship which is lacking today. Our community merits the same level of public services produced by the various jurisdictions our taxes support. Each tax-paying resident is a stakeholder (stockholder) in the City of San Jose (a $5.6 billion enterprise) and the County of Santa Clara (a $6.3 billion enterprise).

We, The People merit the same level of attention, as do the special interests and corporations. Our governance needs to reach a new equilibrium, which ensures all are adequately served and respected.

I personally listened to a 25-minute presentation Sheriff Smith made to a recent La Raza Roundtable's monthly meeting. Her presentation contained no data which would have informed the Latino community leaders present; no mention about County Jails having a 3,800 inmates capacity made up with 50% Hispanics; 12% African Americans and 2% Asian Americans (data garnered from a “Realignment Project”

If the American Dream is to be re-invigorated that process begins with more than 65% of registered voters speaking up with their vote!

ONE VOTER who votes out of five who registered results in 'strong man' leaderships like fascism or oligarchies whose members are 'above the law'. “We, The People” have choices to make and give a voice to by simply voting come Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

UN VOTO POR EL PUEBLO VENEZOLANO José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

Con 19 votos a favor, 11 abstenciones y 4 votos en contra, la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) aprobó este martes en su 48 Asamblea General una histórica resolución que abre el proceso de suspensión de Venezuela del sistema interamericano y reafirma el carácter ilegitimo de las elecciones presidenciales de ese país del 20 de mayo que resultaron en la reelección de Nicolás Maduro.

Aunque sorprenden las abstenciones de casi una tercera parte de los miembros del sistema interamericano, el desenlace de este capítulo confirma el aislamiento creciente del régimen venezolano

entre la comunidad de naciones y la urgencia de acrecentar la presión, a fin de abrir canales para hacer llegar al pueblo venezolano la ayuda que necesita desesperadamente.

Es verdad que Venezuela había iniciado desde el año pasado el proceso para dejar la OEA, pero la resolución aprobada es un posicionamiento claro de la mayoría de los países de la región a raíz del rompimiento del orden democrático en ese país y la severa crisis humanitaria que ha resultado de las políticas del actual gobierno.

El gobierno venezolano argumentó que las penurias de su pueblo son producto de las sanciones de Estados Unidos que les dificultan adquirir alimentos

o medicinas y que otros países no tienen autoridad moral para criticar a Venezuela cuando ellos mismos tienen sus propias deficiencias en materia de derechos humanos.

Pero la respuesta de Canadá fue contundente: Dijo que las imperfecciones de los países del hemisferio no descalifican a nadie para hacer una defensa de los derechos humanos del pueblo venezolano sino por el contrario, y desestimó la reacción del régimen de Maduro por presentarse como víctima del imperialismo estadounidense.

No sorprende que la postura expresada en la Asamblea General de la OEA por la canciller canadiense. Chrystia Freeland haya recibido sonoros aplausos en la Salón Simón Bolívar de la OEA

y especialmente entre numerosos venezolanos en las redes sociales.

Sin embargo la resolución aprobada no agota el proceso. Ahora se requieren consensar 24 votos de los países del sistema interamericano para convocar a una sesión extraordinaria donde se analice la expulsión de Venezuela.

Pero acaso lo más urgente es que se logre la apertura de una ruta humanitaria que permita la llegada a Venezuela de los alimentos y las medicinas que permitan, en alguna medida, aliviar las condiciones de hambruna en que está sumido el pueblo venezolano.

Teacher well-being is a critical and often JAN BLAKE NAMED SANTA CLARA COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION TEACHER OF THE YEAR overlooked part of school health about the field has enabled her to guide and mentor new teachers and her peers," according to Deepali Paralikar, a teacher at Oster.

"Jan is an advocate for all of our students," says Sue Freedman, a speech pathologist at Oster.

Jan has created many opportunities for students within the DHOH program to integrate with mainstream programs and the community. In addition to her daytime duties, Jan teaches a sign language class at night for parents, staff, and community members to help her students connect with others.

As education stakeholders consider improvements to school climate, school safety, and student wellbeing, many have turned their attention to the role of schools in promoting mental health. While most of this attention focuses on students’ mental health needs, it is also essential to explore ways of supporting teachers and school staff who often experience high levels of stress.

Relative to professionals in other sectors, educators experience significantly more stress and suffer more often from mental health problems. In fact, 61 percent of educators reported that their work is “always” or “often” stressful. Failing to address the mental health needs of teachers (concurrent with our focus on student stress and trauma) may affect their ability to address critical needs among students. Teacher wellness has been linked not only to teachers’ physical health, but also to stability in schools and to teaching effectiveness and student achievement. Moreover, teachers’ emotions and stress levels have been found to influence those of students and other teachers. In Child Trends’ preliminary research on creating healthy school environments, students, educators, and policymakers all mentioned teacher wellness as an important factor in the overall health of a school.

Research points to several key sources of stress that can undermine teacher wellness: high-stakes job demands, limited resources and professional autonomy, and negative school climate. Heightened attention to student test scores in recent years has placed teachers under increased scrutiny, as their professional success is measured in large part by student performance on standardized exams. They must also navigate challenging student behavior and complex parent and family needs. Teachers are often expected to drive student success for a diverse set of learners and intervene across a range of challenging situations with limited materials, assistance, and control over school and classroom decisions. In fact, teachers are less likely than any other professional group to report feeling that their opinions matter at work.

Existing research suggests that the availability of supports and resources to address students’ needs may affect teacher wellness; preliminary findings from Child Trends research indicate that unmet student needs may be a potentially critical source of teacher stress. When a student experiences trauma at home or lacks sufficient resources to thrive in the classroom, her teacher is often the first to notice that something is wrong and to respond. In the absence of sufficient student support services at the school, or systems that link students with needed services in the community, the teacher may feel helpless to meet the needs of that student. Alternatively, the teacher may become the student’s primary support system. Both scenarios are emotionally taxing for the teacher.

While elements of the school environment and structure seem to cause considerable stress for teachers, the mechanisms commonly suggested to reduce teacher stress tend to focus on the teacher’s responsibility for self-care. Self-care practices such as meditation, exercise, or participation in a support group are inexpensive and straightforward to implement, and certainly have the potential to alleviate symptoms of stress. However, these practices do not address the root causes of teacher stress and may divert attention from the systemic stressors that exist in schools today. Instead, we should address these sources of stress and embrace a holistic approach to teacher wellness. Promoting teacher wellness requires attention to physical and mental health, professional development and support, and resources needed to be effective in the classroom, among other things.

Any profession is bound to have its stresses, and teaching is no different. But when we accept that an unhealthy level of stress is inherent to teaching, and place the burden of stress reduction on the individual teacher, we limit our ability to improve overall school wellness. We can better shape healthy schools for teachers and students by addressing the underlying causes of chronic stress and cultivating environments that promote teacher wellness. Ultimately, such attention could lead to healthier, more supportive school communities and more positive outcomes for students. When teacher wellness becomes a norm, so too will student success.

​​ SAN JOSE, CA – The Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE) is proud to announce Jan Blake has been selected as the SCCOE 2017-18 Teacher of the Year.

Jan began at SCCOE in 1974, working as a teacher in the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program (DHOH). She became an Inclusion Specialist in 1997 at Oster School, bridging the DHOH and mainstream programs together.

During her career, she has taught math, science, English, history, driver's education, computer, and other elective courses for students with a hearing disability.

"She has contributed to the DHOH program vision and growth and adapted her thinking about what the program should be with changing times. Being so knowledgeable

"Her experience, wisdom, expertise, and patience make her a tremendous resource to all of our staff as well as staff outside of the DHOH program. She is the 'go to' person who people first think of for support when they have a question about almost everything," says Bob Whalen, Principal of Oster Cluster Programs.

"We are thrilled to honor Jan, not only for the length of her service, but the quality," said County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Mary Ann Dewan. "Jan is a wonderful teacher who truly exemplifies each of our four values: students first, innovation, collaboration, and service. Her service has made a significant impact on the DHOH community in Santa Clara County, and she will be missed."

After 44 years of service to SCCOE, Jan will retire this summer. In the fall, she will be honored on stage alongside other Santa Clara County district teacher of the year honorees at the 49th annual Teacher Recognition Celebration​ on October 22, at the Heritage Theatre in Campbell.

Agilidad monetaria: Ojo con las estafas telefónicas en temporada de impuestos

Si en alguna ocasión algún estafador elocuente ha intentado privarle de ese dinero que tanto esfuerzo le ha costado ganar, sepa que no está solo. Más aun, ese tipo de estafas suele predominar en la temporada de declaración

de impuestos.

Según una reciente Encuesta Harris, se estima que 1 de cada 10 estadounidenses fue víctima de estafas telefónicas entre abril del 2016 y abril del 2017, promediando una suma de $430 por persona, para un total nacional de $9.5 mil millones. La cifra anterior equivale a un incremento monetario del 56 por ciento

en comparación con el año anterior, debido en parte a que ese tipo de fraudes es ahora mucho más fácil para los delincuentes, porque la tecnología propicia la búsqueda de números y las “llamadas robot”, y los estadounidenses son más propensos a responder llamadas desconocidas en sus omnipresentes teléfonos móviles.

Numerosos estafadores consideran la temporada de declaración de impuestos como ocasión ideal para aprovechar la incertidumbre o ansiedad por recibir reembolsos, razón por la cual pueden llamar a sus víctimas haciéndose pasar por funcionarios del Servicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS, por sus siglas en inglés), amenazando con arrestos, deportaciones, desalojos o revocación de licencias si no se pagan los impuestos inmediatamente usando una transferencia monetaria, cargando una tarjeta prepagada, o comprando una tarjeta de regalos. Sin embargo, debe recordar que el IRS resuelve casi siempre todos los problemas por correo postal, no por vía telefónica. Además, responderá sus preguntas o apelaciones sobre los impuestos que se deben; no le indicará que use métodos específicos de pago; no le preguntará sus números de tarjetas de crédito o débito por teléfono; ni tampoco lo amenazará con arrestos o consecuencias similares.

El arma principal del consumidor en la lucha contra el fraude es la información y la

Wedding services vary depending on your needs; consultants can help you plan the wedding from start to finish, while “day-of planners” will only be there to help with the ceremony you already planned. Whichever it may be, consider the following factors to help you choose the right wedding planner: 1. Understand your budget. Knowing your budget for the wedding will help you determine if hiring a planner is right for you. Wedding day coordination planners may be the more budget friendly option; but, if hiring a full-time wedding planner is within your budget, it’ll save you time and stress. Keep in mind that planners usually charge in one of three ways: a flat fee; an hourly rate; or a percentage of your overall wedding bill. Typically, couples designate around 10-20% of the overall budget to hiring a planner.

With all those moving parts, things can go wrong for a few reasons; honest mistakes are inevitable, but doing prior research is essential for investing in hiring a wedding planner.

2. Do your homework. Start your search for a trustworthy wedding planner at bbb. org. Be sure to check out the planner’s past work to see if it is what you imagine your wedding to look like. Odds are, planners have a certain wedding style they’re best at, so finding a planner that fits your aesthetic vision makes it easier.

In 2017, Consumers nationwide filed more than 100 complaints on wedding consultants. Two of the most common types of complaints include sales and service issues. However, there was a 31% decrease in the number of complaints reported

3. Have options. Asking family and friends for recommendations isn’t a bad idea. If they have worked together in the past, you are more informed of how the consultant operates. When you have a list of potential planners, meet each of them in person to

Weddings can be very expensive, so it’s understandable that couples want everything to go according to plan!

Unfortunately, it isn’t always easy.

Weddings have many moving parts: venues, officiants, caterers, cakes, DJs, dresses and tuxedos, limos, photographers and more.

concientización. A pesar de que los estafadores suelen ser muy listos, conocer alguna de sus estrategias puede ser el primer paso para protegerse de sus tácticas.

"Con la llegada de la temporada de declaración de impuestos, los estafadores se hacen pasar por representantes del Servicio de Impuestos Internos (Internal Revenue Service, IRS) y les piden a sus víctimas que les envíen dinero para evitar el arresto o la deportación", advierte Lee Buchmann, director de operaciones antifraudes de Western Union. "No envíe ninguna transferencia monetaria a nadie que le pida hacerlo como medio de pago de sus impuestos. El IRS no se pone en contacto con los consumidores para exigirles el pago de impuestos con transferencias monetarias ni tarjetas prepagadas”.

get to know them more. Having options to choose from eases the pressure of settling for one. You will be spending a good amount of time with them, so make sure you both mesh well.

4. Ask Questions. With many questions in mind, write them down before your meeting to make sure you get them all answered. A few common questions are: What’s your availability? How do you charge for your services? Will you charge extra for mileage and supplies used for the wedding? What will your service cover? Do you have references or certifications? What background knowledge do you have with event planning? Do you work with a team?

Will you go with me to my dress fittings?

The list goes on!

5. Get everything in writing. Before signing any contract, examine it carefully. Make sure the dates of service are correct and the compensation is what was agreed upon with no hidden fees. Don’t feel pressured to pay everything upfront before the service is provided.

Whatever your experience, BBB wants to hear about it! Report scams to BBB Scam Tracker to help warn others. If you have an issue with a business, you can file a complaint with your BBB. If you had a great experience, leave them a positive Customer Review!

MÉDICOS DE FAMILIA NOS RECUERDAN QUE GOVERNORS PEN LETTER TO OPPOSE #MENTALHEALTHMATTERS TRUMP'S "GAG RULE" ON ABORTION I am being forced to lie to my patients by omission."

So far, 13 governors across the country have signed a letter to the Secretary of Health and Human Services opposing the rule. A poll by Hart Research Associates showed 73 percent of Americans also oppose the rule.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Trump administration won a battle in the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday (6/4) effectively banning abortions for undocumented minors held in detention. Meanwhile, women'srights activists and some medical experts say the administration's proposed "gag rule" on reproductive health could increase unintended pregnancies and abortions.

BPT La salud mental y el bienestar emocional afectan cada aspecto de nuestras vidas, desde el trabajo, hasta la familia y el ocio.

Uno de cada cinco adultos padece alguna enfermedad mental, que puede abarcar desde ligera a grave. En muchas ocasiones, antes de que pueda diagnosticarse, el trastorno mental puede desencadenar síntomas físicos.

Pongamos como ejemplo el caso de Michael, de 26 años, quien sufrió un accidente de construcción que lo condujo a un círculo vicioso de dolor y desvalimiento.

Después de someterse a tratamiento para el dolor, le aparecieron llagas rojas y escamosas en la piel. Su médico de familia le diagnosticó una soriasis relacionada con la depresión, y juntos trabajaron en un plan de tratamiento.

También tenemos el de Jennifer, peluquera de 35 años, quien presentó las señales inconfundibles de un infarto cardiaco: falta de aire, sudoración, taquicardia y náuseas. Después de múltiples exámenes en la sala de urgencias que le costaron miles de dólares, se le diagnosticó ansiedad aguda. ¿Y qué le recetaron? Ver a su médico de familia para determinar el curso adecuado de tratamiento en su situación, tanto física como emocional.

Esta conexión mente/cuerpo es muy real, complicada, y en muchas ocasiones incomprendida, una razón por la cual es tan importante contar con un médico de familia que conozca al paciente y a sus allegados en el contexto de su comunidad.

De hecho, los médicos de atención

primaria prestan la mayoría de los servicios de salud mental en los Estados Unidos.

El Mes de concientización sobre la salud mental es el momento perfecto para considerar el estado de nuestra salud mental, así como la de nuestros seres queridos y amigos. Eso es precisamente lo que nos están aconsejando los médicos de todo el país, y la Academia Americana de Médicos de Familia (American Academy of Family Physicians, AAFP).

Last week President Donald Trump announced a new rule that makes it illegal for doctors, nurses, hospitals and community health centers that participate in the federal Title 10 program to tell patients how they can safely and legally access abortion. Title 10 was established in 1970, to provide affordable birth control and reproductive health care to America's low-income population.

Jennifer Conti, a doctor with Stanford University and a fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, said the federal government is incentivizing clinics to stop offering abortion if they also want to provide birth control to the nation's poorest residents.

"This is a gag rule,” Conti said. “As an abortion provider, if I can talk about abortion but I can't talk about where or how to obtain one, then essentially I am being gagged in that

According to the latest estimates, Planned Parenthood health centers serve 41 percent of low-income, or Title 10 patients, despite only accounting for 13 percent of Title 10 centers.

Conti said conservative politicians often support de-funding Planned Parenthood as a way to end all abortions, but she said the larger issue is access to reproductive health care for women and men.

"De-funding Planned Parenthood does not mean de-funding abortions, because federal money does not pay for abortions,” she explained. “De-funding Planned Parenthood means de-funding pap smears."

The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate in the developed world, with black women in the U.S. almost 3.5 times as likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. Conti noted that while the predominately Catholic country of Ireland overwhelming voted to repeal its abortion ban last month, the Trump administration is making "choice" harder and harder for American women.

"I think it's ironic that at a time when you see a country like Ireland repealing or essentially undoing their harsh abortion laws, we here in America - in this country we like to consider so forward and progressive - are going backward,” she said.

By one estimate, unsafe abortion takes the lives of 47,000 women worldwide every year.

SUGERENCIAS PARA SERVIR Rocía las costillas con aceite de cilantro y sírvelas con el guiso de frijoles y el arroz.

Adorna los frijoles con los segmentos de naranja y las cebollas tiernas a la parrilla.

Llegó el verano, y finalmente es hora de decirle adiós a las bufandas y a las hermosas chaquetas de lana, al menos por los próximos meses. Es la temporada de darse baños de sol y disfrutar las temperaturas cálidas. ¡El verano es sinónimo de diversión!

Sandalias, pantalones cortos, café helado y noches largas bajo las estrellas. Pero, al mismo tiempo, el calor, la humedad y el sol significan que tendrás que hacerle algunos cambios a tu rutina de belleza.

Y ¿quién mejor para darte consejos de belleza para el verano que Leslie Grace, una de las cantantes más radiantes de la temporada?

Muestra tus ojos. Aunque tengas una docena de lentes de sol que quieras ponerte, muéstrale tus ojos al mundo. Para lograr una apariencia fresca, deja a un lado el delineador y adopta un look más sutil que resalte tu belleza natural. Usa una sombra cremosa y brillante para los párpados y acentúala con tu rímel favorito.

Resalta con tu sonrisa. Una sonrisa blanca y saludable nunca pasa de moda, ¡especialmente en estos días de abundante sol! Pero lo que bebemos, como el café, el vino rosado y los refrescos (indispensables para el verano) pueden manchar tu dentadura. El producto favorito de Leslie para sus dientes es la crema dental Colgate Optic White Stain-Less White Toothpaste que se encarga de eliminar esas manchas

fastidiosas.

Mantén la salud de tu cabello. ¡Suéltate el cabello y muestra tu belleza natural! Y las que tienen un cabello naturalmente rizado, como Leslie, deben adoptar el hábito de recogerse el cabello en un moño alto antes de dormir, ¡para que no se enrede ni se dañe!

Disfruta el sol, pero con cautela.

Probablemente te hayas propuesto un buen bronceado para este verano. Sin embargo, toma todas las precauciones para proteger tu piel a largo plazo. Ten cuidado con el sol y mantén tu piel, manos y labios humectados ¡y no dejes de aplicarte abundante bloqueador solar!

La perfecta combinación de maquillaje.

El secreto para aprovechar al máximo tu maquillaje este verano es adaptarte a la temporada. No tengas miedo de usar colores vibrantes y atrevidos. Por ejemplo, la sombra azul para los ojos y el lápiz labial rojo complementan los colores brillantes del verano.

Para darle ese extra destello a tu maquillaje, utiliza sombras con brillantina para un look que llame la atención.

Independientemente de que quieras descansar junto a la piscina, bailar en un rooftop o pasar el verano en la arena, deja que estos consejos te sirvan como base para tu estilo de esta temporada. Haciéndolo te dará un brillo natural que combinará perfectamente con el resplandor del verano.

MEETING BAYOU

New Alligator exhibit now open at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo

during routine interactions.

HHPZ says that thanks to funding from generous donors, and years of planning and construction, Bayou’s new exhibit gives him plenty of room to grow, even when he grows to his maximum size. His habitat allows ample space for him to roam, swim and sunbathe, and a night house with heated flooring.

“It is thrilling to finally see this magnificent creature make himself at home,” said Amy Pizarro, the foundation’s executive director. “Happy Hollow Foundation was proud to partner with the zoo to provide funding and support for this exciting new exhibit — Bayou is a perfect example of what Happy Hollow does best.”

HHPZ has been accredited by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums for over 20 years, and participates in many wildlife conservation and education efforts. The zoo also has an extensive enrichment program, which stimulates each animal's natural behavior and provides variety in their daily routine.

This is accomplished by providing the animals with different stimuli, such

Arturo Hilario & HHPZ San José, CA – There is a new critter at Happy Hollow Park & Zoo (HHPZ).

On May 26, HHPZ welcomed over 4,200 guests to view a brand new American alligator exhibit. “Bayou,” an American alligator, is the newest resident that attendees can see at Happy Hollow, although his tenure at the park began before this recent move to a new habitat.

Bayou first arrived in 2013 and was less than 2-feet long at the time. Originally as a way to recuperate and be studied, park trainers and staff weren’t entirely sure whether Bayou would settle in and eventually be on display at the zoo.

“Bayou has actually been living at Happy Hollow since he was quite small,” said Lori Morper, one of Bayou’s trainers from the Zoo Education program. “We adopted him to become an animal ambassador for our Zoo Education program. Now that he is much larger, Bayou is ready for his new career and new home, on exhibit in the Zoo in the Hollow.”

It was a short move for Bayou from background education animal to being in the limelight of the zoo, but the training of an Alligator is a feat in itself.

When Bayou was discovered by the California Department of Fish & Wildlife rescued him from the

Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, it was a surprise seeing a critter of his type on the West Coast. American Alligators are predominantly found in the Southeastern United States, a world away for a tiny alligator like Bayou at the time.

HHPZ staff believe that someone wanted a pet Alligator until they didn’t, and whether it be because of Bayou’s increasing size or inability to properly take care of the reptilian, he was left in the delta. Now though, HHPZ can monitor and take care of Bayou properly thanks to the trained staff who is predominantly looking out for his well being.

He is now over five feet long, and his trainers estimate his age is between 10 to 12 years old. He also has the capacity to grow up to 12 feet.

In order to properly grow, his diet consists of mice, poultry and fish. His favorite according to the staff at HHPZ? All of it. Bayou does not discriminate when it comes to food.

Bayou participates in several training sessions a week where he learns a variety of behaviors using positive reinforcement.

This choice-based training method makes it easier to move and transport him, as well as perform routine medical procedures. This type of training focuses on getting the alligator to willingly cooperate with certain maneuvers, and keeps handlers safer

JUNE 8 - 14, 2018 as items to tear apart, scents, sounds, and cognitive tasks through positivereinforcement based training.

“Happy Hollow Park & Zoo is a place that connects people to people, and people to nature through play,” says Justin Long, Deputy Director of the City of San José Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Services Department.

“People of all ages can come and see animals in a natural setting while learning about their care, conservation, and habitats. It’s part of what makes coming to Happy Hollow such a fun and memorable experience.”

According to HHPZ, visitors are encouraged to watch Bayou’s training and feeding sessions in his exhibit every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday at 2:30 p.m. This is a way for the zoo to educate guests about animal wellness, conservation, and care.

Also this summer, beginning July 11 through August 26, HHPZ will also have a “Backyard Bayou” exhibit open to the public, featuring an assortment of swamp critters. For more information, please visit www.hhpz.org.

up enough voters to oust politicians who resist gun-control policies.

"So it's not just us," she says. "We're going to be including all types of students. We've created friendships with the kids from Chicago and we hope to create friendships through all the stops we make."

The roughly 4 million Americans who turn 18 this year will add a surge of youthfulness to the electorate - that's if they register to vote.

PARKLAND, Fla. – Student activists with the March for Our Lives movement are rallying around a new hashtag, "Road to Change," as they embark on a summer road trip to help register young voters and promote stricter gun laws. The students fighting to eliminate gun violence in America announced their two-month summer tour Monday morning.

The goal is to travel to cities across the

country following their March 24 march on Washington. Road to Change kicks off June 15 at the Peace March in Chicago. The bus tour will make more than 75 stops through August.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School graduate Cameron Kasky is the founder of March for Our Lives.

"At the end of the day, real change is brought from voting," he says. "We are encouraging people around the country to educate themselves on their vote, to get out there and turn voting into more of an act of patriotism

BRAZIL BEGINS TRAINING FOR WORLD CUP challenge Austria on June 10 in a friendly.

EFE

Teresopolis, Brazil - Brazil's national soccer team came together Monday in this town 91 km (56 mi) from Rio de Janeiro to prepare for next month's World Cup in Russia.

Brazil will have another friendly on June 3 against Croatia.

From Vienna, Brazil will head for the Russian city of Sochi, where the teams will remain during the first phase of the World Cup.

Brazil, pursuing a sixth World Cup title, will have almost a month to train for the tournament, since its debut will be on June 17 against Switzerland in Rostov.

For team captain and striker Neymar, this week will mark his return to the pitch after an absence of nearly three months due to a foot injury that required surgery.

Marquinhos, a player with Paris Saint-Germain, was the first member of the final 23-man roster to report to the Granja Comary training center in Teresopolis.

The list of players assembled by Tite includes the basis of the team that came through the South American qualifiers undefeated.

Arriving after Marquinhos at the Granja Comary heliport were Atletico Madrid's Filipe Luis and Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder Fred.

Sixteen of those called by coach Tite had already arrived before noon, including PSG's Neymar and Gabriel Jesus of Manchester City.

Real Madrid's Marcelo and Casemiro, along with Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino, will not join the national squad until after Saturday's Champions League final between the Spanish and English clubs.

After a week of training in Teresopolis, the squad will travel next Sunday to London, where the players will continue training for another 12 days before traveling to Vienna, where they will

PERU LOOKS TO DIVINE INTERVENTION TO KEEP GUERRERO IN WORLD CUP was suspended, adding that "it's a very strong group, ready for anything."

EFE

Lima - Peru's national soccer team is hoping that heaven will smile on captain and top striker Paolo Guerrero's bid to convince FIFA to set aside a suspension and allow him to play in next month's World Cup, defender Luis Advincula said Monday.

"May God decide what happens," Advincula said, urging fans to join him in saying an Our Father for Guerrero to be granted authorization to join the national squad.

The defender hoped that all goes well for his teammate at the meeting he is scheduled to have this Tuesday in Switzerland with FIFA boss Gianni Infantino, where Guerrero will seek a lifting of his doping ban so he can play in Peru's first World Cup since 1982.

"If there's a chance of hope, we're all going to cling to it. May God let his meeting with the president of FIFA be positive so he may play in the 2018 Russia World Cup, which is what all Peru wants," Advincula said.

After Monday's training session, Advincula acknowledged that "obviously there's anxiety" on the Peruvian team to know whether Guerrero will be able to accompany them to the World Cup, but added that he will try to take it as calmly as possible.

Midfielder Paolo Hurtado said that they are hoping "the problem will be solved."

Nonetheless, he noted that the Peruvian squad has been united for a long time, even before Guerrero

Guerrero, 34, was originally suspended for a year after a routine doping test in October 2017 detected a cocaine metabolite, but FIFA, soccer's world governing body, subsequently reduced the penalty to six months and the player returned to action May 6 with the Brazilian club Flamengo.

The Peruvian appeared before the Lausanne, Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) earlier this month to argue that the suspension was unjustified, maintaining that the cocaine metabolite entered his system via yerba mate made in a pot that previously contained coca leaf.

At the same time, the World Anti-Doping Agency asked CAS to increase the length of Guerrero's suspension to two years.

Last Monday, CAS extended Guerrero's suspension to 14 months in all, keeping him off the field until January 2019.

FIFPro, the union representing the world's professional footballers, asked FIFA to review the case and Infantino agreed to meet with Guerrero.

In the practice session at the Videna facility in Lima, Peru coach Ricardo Gareca worked with 20 of his 23 players.

The squad is training to challenge Scotland on May 29 in a friendly in which Peruvian fans will bid farewell to the team that will represent them in the World Cup.

IT’S FINALLY TIME FOR ME TO RETIRE MY TRUSTY OLD NALGENE AND UPGRADE MY WATER BOTTLE. ARE ANY BRANDS OR MODELS PARTICULARLY GREENER THAN OTHERS?

JUNE 8 - 14, 2018

SIERRA & TIERRA: EL PEZ SE EMPIEZA A PUDRIR DESDE LA CABEZA

Plastic water bottles were once ubiquitous on college campuses and beyond where people wanted to stay hydrated without buying wasteful single-use plastic water bottles. But today we have many more options for going green when it comes to water bottles. When evidence started coming out that Bisphenol A (BPA) and other chemical additives in even reusable plastic water bottles could be harmful to human health, consumers started looking for other, safer materials.

These days it’s hard to find a reusable water bottle made out of plastic as glass and metal versions have become the more popular choices.

Glass is readily available and easy to recycle. Contigo’s Purity glass water bottle is wrapped in a silicone sleeve to make it easier to handle and pad it in case it takes a tumble.

Soma Bottles are likewise made from glass and wrapped in rubber for protection and a better grip. The Zing Anything Citrus Zinger glass water bottle comes with a builtin juicer so that you can infuse your water with fruit essences.

Stainless steel is another popular water bottle choice among eco-conscious consumers, given its ruggedness and insulation as well as how easy it is to recycle.

S’well’s bottles come in a variety of designs but all share a base made out of recyclable stainless steel. Mira’s stainless steel bottles have similar but more basic designs — but for half the price. Klean Kanteen also sells a variety of sleek stainless-steel based bottles

Trump los llama "animales"

In those situations where you don’t have your own reusable water bottle handy, it would be nice to know that you could buy water in a disposable container that neither comes from petroleum nor requires lots of transport and energy to recycle. Boxed Water Is Better and Just Water think they have the solution: paper cartons (like for milk) derived from sustainably harvested timber. These paper cartons are better than their plastic counterparts in many ways. For starters they can be shipped empty and flat and are so light that their transportation carbon footprint is much less than glass or plastic. But they have proven difficult to recycle (let alone compost) given that they include not only paper but also aluminum foil (to shield the contents from light and oxygen which could contaminate the water) and plastic inlays for strength.

Le cuento un secreto. Estoy escribiendo esta columna en español. No se lo diga a nadie, ahora que está abierta la veda contra nosotros los inmigrantes, sobre todo hispanos.

Another improvement on the single-use plastic water bottle is one made from biodegradable plant-based material, like the algae-derived prototype developed by Ari Jónsson, a student at the Iceland Academy of the Arts. Jónsson’s bottle is derived from red algae powder and water to form a gelatin-like substance that can be shaped into the form of a bottle after a process of heating, molding, cooling and then filling with water. The bottle keeps its shape as long as it has water in it; when it’s empty, it loses its rigidity and begins to decompose — you can bury it or throw it in your compost bin.

While the concept is far from mainstream, and probably never will be, it nevertheless proves that single-use bottles don’t have to be such a burden on the environment.

Pierde uno la cuenta de los abusos y vejaciones que estamos sufriendo casi a diario: • Un abogado amenazó con delatar a ICE a los trabajadores de un restaurante de Nueva York por hablar en español con sus clientes.

• En Montana, ICE detuvo a dos ciudadanas estadounidenses en una gasolinera por hablar español.

• En Florida, un candidato republicano defendió que a los puertorriqueños que emigran al continente no se les debería dejar votar, pese a que son tan estadounidenses como el que más.

• La Secretaria Federal de Educación indicó que cada escuela tiene derecho a decidir si delatar a estudiantes indocumentados a ICE, etc., etc., etc.

Pero el mayor escándalo, el que a emigrantes como yo nos está haciendo ver la Estatua de la Libertad como un adorno urbano más, es el inhumano trato al que las autoridades migratorias someten a las familias de inmigrantes que tratan de entrar en Estados Unidos. Desde octubre, ICE ha separado a unos 700 niños de sus padres cuando, como familias, trataron de cruzar la frontera, para luego llevarlos a centros de detención donde incluso son enjaulados, pateados, golpeados, amenazados con abuso sexual y, en el caso de una joven guatemalteca, muerta a tiros.

Los menores son transferidos más tarde al “cuidado” del Departamento de Salud y Servicios Humanos que les debe encontrar un lugar donde quedarse. Pero, como si arrancar a un hijo de los brazos de sus padres no fuera suficiente, el Departamento recientemente reconoció que, de los 7.000 niños entregados a patrocinadores para su cuidado a finales de 2017, desconoce qué se

hizo de 1.475 de ellos.

El pez empieza a pudrirse desde la cabeza. El Presidente Trump, el que nos llamó criminales y violadores durante la campaña, perdió lo poco que le quedaba de dignidad cuando dijo que los indocumentados “no son personas, son animales” y su Casa Blanca reconoció que estos son métodos de "disuasión" para detener el flujo de inmigrantes.

Otro refrán dice que del árbol caído todos hacen leña. No es nuevo que millones de indocumentados vivan en las sombras de esta sociedad vulnerables a todo tipo de abusos. Un estudio de la Universidad Estatal de Washington develó que los inmigrantes que no hablan inglés es el grupo demográfico más expuesto a contaminación mortal del aire. Otro reporte de la Universidad de Minnesota concluyó que los hispanos en general son el grupo étnico que respira el aire más contaminado del país.

Aún así, el aporte de los indocumentados a esta sociedad es enorme. Cada año contribuyen con $11.600 millones en impuestos a la economía nacional, a un índice contributivo superior al 1% de los estadounidenses más ricos.

Es difícil tragar semejante dosis de hipocresía de Trump y su administración cuando sus familias llegaron a este país en circunstancias muy similares, escapando también de la opresión, la violencia o la miseria.

Solo hay una opción, resistir. Los abogados del Sierra Club han presentado un documento legal de apoyo a la oposición de casi 80 grupos contra un pleito de la administración Trump que pretende anular tres “leyes santuario” en California, las cuales ofrecen importantes protecciones a los inmigrantes indocumentados del estado. El pleito de la administración es parte de un operativo nacional para eliminar la resistencia de las “ciudades santuario” a las prácticas represivas contra los indocumentados.

La historia nos juzgará a todos, quiénes resistimos y quiénes se rindieron.

SAN ANTONIO, PATRÓN DE QUIENES BUSCAN EL AMOR las reliquias que representan a los santos deben ser maniobradas con veneración y sobre todo con mucho“respeto”.

La devoción a San Antonio de Padua data de muchos siglos atrás, es uno de los santos más venerados y populares en la comunidad católica hispana. Su fecha de celebración y homenaje es el 13 de junio. A él se han adjudicado millares de milagros por parte de los fieles que le invocan y solicitan su amparo con total devoción. Según la tradición popular, San Antonio, les ayuda a encontrar pareja a las personas solteras que desean tener una relación o llegar al matrimonio, especialmente a las mujeres, aunque muchos hombres dan testimonio de haber recibido favores similares.

Photo Credit: Wikipedia.org

Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador San Antonio es conocido por ser el santo que se invoca cuando hemos perdido algo y deseamos recuperarlo, es uno de los santos que concede favores románticos y es considerado “el santo patrón de todos los enamorados”. En las últimas décadas se le ha conocido como el santo que protege de secuestros y todo tipo de agresiones físicas. Según palabras de San Ignacio de Loyola: “parece ser que el Creador le ha dado una potestad a cada santo para que obre milagros, pero a San Antonio se le han concedido diversas potestades ya que se tienen documentados un verdadero caudal de milagros realizados por él”. Algunas personas creen erróneamente que poniendo una imagen del santo de cabeza, les ayudará a alcanzar milagros, esto es totalmente inapropiado, las imágenes y

Se cree que San Antonio nació en el año 1191 en Lisboa, Portugal. Desde temprana edad se interesó por el catecismo y los temas espirituales, se dice que realizaba curaciones de todo tipo, únicamente invocando el nombre de Dios. En 1208 entró al monasterio de los canónigos de San Agustín y se ordenó sacerdote en 1219. En 1220 vistiendo el hábito de la orden de los Franciscanos, desembarcó en Marruecos, pero en pocos días enfermó de gravedad y sus superiores decidieron repatriarlo. Tras sobrevivir un viaje tormentoso, San Antonio arribó a Sicilia, y fue durante ese período que conoció a San Francisco de Asís, con quien sostuvo una estrecha amistad.

Hacia 1224, fue nombrado maestro de teología e impartió cátedra en Bolonia y Francia, al poco tiempo fungió como evangelizador en Rumania. En 1230 predicó ante el Papa y los cardenales quienes quedaron maravillados con la sabiduría y dulzura que reflejaba en su oratoria.

Siempre ayudó a los más humildes y se dedicaba a orientar a los jóvenes para que encontraran su verdadera vocación.

Falleció el 13 de junio de 1231. Días después de su muerte, muchas personas acariciaron sus reliquias y su tumba y confesaron haber sido milagrosamente sanados de los males y enfermedades que les aquejaban. Fue canonizado al año siguiente por el Papa Gregorio IX. En 1946, el Papa Pío XII le declaró Doctor evangélico de la iglesia. Para pedir un favor a San Antonio, se le ofrendan veladoras color café los días 13 de cada mes y al mismo tiempo se ofrendan flores blancas en la iglesia durante la misma fecha y se finaliza rezando su novena durante 40 noches consecutivas.

Si lo hace con fe, en menos de tres meses su favor será concedido.

IOS 12 AND MORE: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW FROM APPLE’S WWDC 2018

Want to cure your screen addiction? Want to cut back on your kids’ screen time? iOS 12 will include App Limits and Screen Time, which let you limit how long you can use certain apps and let you monitor how much time you’ve spent in each app. “Hmm… maybe less time playing Words With Friends is would be a good decision…”

Here’s what else is coming to iOS 12: • Grouped notification support on your home screen. Goodbye, nine messages in a row from the same Messenger thread!

• Google Maps and Waze are coming to CarPlay. That means in a few short months, you’ll never have to use Apple Maps again.

Hooray!

• 32-person FaceTime. Do you have 32 friends?

Monday marked the beginning of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2018). As per tradition, Apple kicked off the week with a two-plus hour press conference that highlighted a new version of iOS, a new version of macOS and more. Here’s what you need to know. iOS 12 Launching this fall, iOS 12 (which can be installed on any phone that can run iOS 11) will improve performance on all phones. Unlike previous versions, Apple says older phones may benefit from this phone more than newer phones: according to Gizmodo, apps launched 40 percent faster, the keyboard loads 50 percent

faster, and swiping from the home screen to your camera app happens 70 percent faster. (For more information, 9to5Mac put together a great speed test guide.)

Also coming to iOS 12 is a new AR app called Measure, which uses ARKit to measure objects.

It’s not the first AR measurement app available on iOS, but it’s Apple’s first.

Siri’s also becoming more useful (which has been a long time coming) with ‘Shortcuts.’ You can create custom quick actions so Siri can help you do the things you do every day. Siri will also learn your routines and offer location-based suggestions (like knowing to put on Do Not Disturb when you’re at the movie theater). You can also say, for example, “Hey Siri, I lost my keys,” and it’ll work with the Tile app to help you find them.

5 Smart Ways to Protect Your Data On Social Media had information on about 87 million Facebook users without their knowledge.

In testimony before the U.S. Senate, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg promised to do more to protect the privacy of users’ data. But according to studies by the Pew Research Center, people haven’t had much faith in social media firms’ capacity to do just that. A Pew survey last year found that only 9 percent of social media users were “very confident” that companies would protect their data. About half were “not at all” or “not too confident” their data were in safe hands.

The Facebook data breach opened a Pandora’s box of concerns for social media consumers. The company estimated that data firm Cambridge Analytica may have

With so many people concerned about what private data is shared by social media sites and with whom, the CEO of a social media app says users need to do more to protect their information and be aware of how their data can be used.

“In the past 60 days there has been a profound awakening by the average social media user about data privacy and trust regarding social media companies,”

• The Messages app is getting new filters, stickers and shapes, in Apple’s attempt to inject a bit more Instagram/Snapchat into its Messages app.

• Memoji: Remember Animoji, which you probably used the day you got your iPhone X and then never again? Well, now you can create one based on your face. watchOS 5 The Apple Watch is one of the most popular wearables in the world, and Apple is adding some slick new features to watchOS 5 (which is launching this fall): • 7-day competitions with friends. Trying to lose weight? Challenge friends to see who can exercise more, and track the results on your wrist.

• Automatic workout detection means you’ll never fail to log a workout again.

says Scott Relf, CEO and co-founder of PikMobile Inc. (www.pikmobile.com), an ad-free social media app that allows users to share content through a unique viewing platform.

“All of the other social media companies are equally as guilty as Facebook – Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, Google. These companies are betraying their users’ trust by selling them out, and all of this with virtually no regulations or accountability to anyone.”

Relf lists five ways social media users can better protect their data: • Know the people you friend. Don't accept friend or follow requests from people you don't know, even if it appears you have friends in common. “They could be fake accounts from cybercriminals, bots or just bad people,” Relf says. “And the more people you’re connected to, the harder it is to control what happens to the information you post.”

• Skip the quizzes. Those IQ or personality tests you find on social media may take you to unsecure sites, Relf says, making you vulnerable to identity theft by using information found on your account as well

• A walkie-talkie-esque mode is exactly what it sounds like. Press a button, send a voice message, and wait for a response from your friends.

• Apple’s Podcasts app is headed to the Apple Watch. Now, if only Apple would make the app usable again… macOS Mojave Perhaps the biggest news of the day was Apple quashing the rumor that iOS and macOS would merge. However, iOS apps are coming to the Mac App Store … eventually. (For an idea of how this will work, WIRED put together a great writeup.) Office 365 is also headed to the Mac App Store, which is bigger news for Microsoft than it is for Apple.

Mojave will also have new screenshot and video capture tools baked-in, and will also have a “dark mode” that will replace your apps’ grey windowing with a much darker hue. macOS Mojave, like iOS 12 and watchOS 5, is coming this fall.

Apple TV 4K Apple is rolling out Dolby Atmos support to the Apple TV 4K, which is nice for audiophiles.

What you might care about more is “zero signon,” which will automatically log you into apps that require a cable subscription, as long as your Apple TV is connected to your home network, and your ISP supports this feature. At launch, the only provider this applies to is Charter Spectrum, but more will join as time rolls on.

Both of these updates are launching this fall.

as the answers you provide to the quiz.

• Select a private profile for maximum control. “Consider your needs,” Relf says.

“If you use social media mainly to keep in touch with friends, you may not need a widely open setting. If you use social media for work purposes, consider two accounts: a private personal account as well as a more public business one.”

• Use strong passwords and don’t share them. Passwords should be memorable only to the user and kept to themselves.

“Likewise, lock your phone with a pin or pattern, so that if you do lose it, whoever finds it doesn't have easy access to your entire online life,” Relf says.

• Don’t opt-in to social media facial recognition. “The only logical reason for your social media service to ask for your facial recognition is so that they can do an even better job of harvesting your data and targeting you with ads,” Relf says.

“Ideally, social media users should choose what they feed into their mind all day long,” Relf says. “Don’t give up control of your news feed to companies and advertisers that harvest your data for their benefit.”

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com Pero como en "la guerra, el amor y en el futbol se vale todo", José Ramón Fernández anunció en sus redes sociales, que habrá sorpresas, junto con su compañero en ESPN, David Faitelson, en las que colgó y presumió una foto con la dupla de TV Azteca, Christian Martinoli y Luis García.

Precisamente, los canales deportivos por cable como el propio ESPN y Fox Sports, también han promovido fuertemente su participación en la Copa del Mundo, con la realización de programas desde Rusia, tratando de pellizcarle algunos puntos de rating a Televisa y Televisión Azteca, por lo menos con "Futbol Picante" y "La Última Palabra".

Mientras tanto, en la televisión en español en Estados Unidos, después que Telemundo, ganó los derechos para transmitir los mundiales de futbol de 2018 y 2022, con una oferta de cerca de $600 millones, a su rival Univision, no le queda más que asistir para transmitir desde las afueras de los estadios, sus programas como "República Deportiva" y "Locura Deportiva", a los que seguramente le agregarán la palabra "Mundialista", con Edgar Martínez, Félix Fernández, Enrique Borja, Raúl Guzmán, entre otros, en las que contarán con participaciones de sus comentaristas que se llevó el socio Televisa.

A MÁS DE 10 MIL KILÓMETROS DE RUSIA HERNÁNDEZ TEJEDA Especial Para El Observador

Unos veinte días antes de que la selección mexicana inicie su camino rumbo al famoso "quinto partido" o más bien la fase de semifinales en una Copa del Mundo, en la edición de Rusia 2018, Televisa y Televisión Azteca comenzaron su lucha por el rating.

De hecho, la batalla de las dos televisoras mexicanas comenzó mucho antes del duelo en que el Tri debutará ante Alemania el 17de junio en el Olímpico Luzhnikí, como pudo constatarse en el feo y aburrido empate sin goles ante Gales el lunes pasado.

Luego que Telemundo obtuvo los derechos en español en Estados Unidos derrotando a su rival Univision, Televisa aprovechó la derrota de su socio en la Unión Americana y se "reforzó" repatriando al "Perro" Bermúdez y a "Paco" Villa, además de invitar otros reconocidos comentaristas como Luis Omar Tapia, Diego Balado, José Luis López Salido, Marc Crosas, Hristo Stoichkov y la venezolana Adriana Monsalve.

Bajo el lema "Vamos con Todo", comandada por Francisco Javier González y todo el equipo de Televisa Deportes, la televisora de Chapultepec, también contrató los servicios de los ex futbolistas, Carles Puyol, Javier Zanetti, Miguel "Piojo" Herrera,

En fin, la lucha por los "ratings" ya comenzó y seguramente, como en la política, todos se declararán ganadores; sin embargo el que si no podrá ocultar cuántos puntos sumó, cuántos goles anotó y cuántos le anotaron y hasta que fase llegó, es el Tri. Por lo pronto todos listos para el Rusia ante Arabia Saudita el 14 de junio.
