ABOUT THAT CORONAVIRUS patient deaths out of the 35,000 individuals who were stricken by this corona viral respiratory disease.

Hilbert Morales M.P.J. EL OBSERVADOR

D

uring last December 2019 a Chinese physician identified a new respiratory ailment caused by a virus which was highly virulent and infectious.

Chinese government authorities required that doctor to retract his heads-up notification which had been communicated to the local medical community. The physician became ill with that very same viral infection and died.

Then a Chinese community of 11 million residents was quarantined to no avail because tourists from a cruise ship had contacted that same respiratory illness. That cruise liner was denied docking services at several ports until Cambodia allowed it to use its docking/harbor facilities.

Recently the Public Health Officer of County of Santa Clara, Dr. Sara Cody, M.D., has confirmed that up to eight individuals who have had exposure to this infectious virus have returned to the County of Santa Clara.

Back in China, the community which first experienced this highly infectious respiratory viral disease, has experienced 1,500

In order to avoid having an epidemic here, all individuals need to do what is most effective in restricting the spread of this viral disease to any and all individuals with whom they may have made contact.

This may be done effectively by coughing or sneezing into the crook of your arm rather than into your hands used to cover your mouth. Infected hands are the most efficient distributors of viral diseases because many viruses survive the contact with many kinds of surfaces. When you sneeze or cough into the crook (bent elbow area) of your arm, that surface hardly ever comes into contact with other items.

The wearing of long-sleeved shirts or blouses (cotton surfaces are best) has a very effective absorption surface. Try to cough or sneeze into the crook of your arm rather than the traditional coughing into your cupped hands which are then used and make contact with many other surfaces and individuals. If each afflicted individual can do that much the spread of viral disease via coughing will become greatly mitigated.

Washing your hands before you make contact with anyone also is a very effective way to limit the spread of any respiratory disease.

If you have a fever, bed rest and isolation is recommended.

Understand that viruses multiply (replicate) by invasion of a cell

host whose metabolism is diverted to the production of more viruses. In this process, host cells are destroyed (resulting in muscle aches).

Viruses can survive in many environments.

A virus is composed of a surface capsule made up of lipids, carbohydrates, and proteins.

Their interior contents are almost entirely DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acids) which have the capacity to take over the metabolism of any host cell infected where they multiply (replicate). Prescription drugs target the virus prior to its attachment to a host cell.

Once a virus has injected its DA and RNA into a host cell, it is not possible to address the viral infection without also damaging the host cells. Invariably, bed rest and curtailment of strenuous activities is highly recommended and practiced.

During this flu season, if you catch a cold or any viral disease, it is best to slow down, enjoy the bed rest and just take it easy.

Your body's immune system will respond to the viral infection with its white cells which seek and devour infective viruses. By reducing your physical activities, you allow your immune system to focus upon going after the viral infection and sustaining the internal environment which is required by your body and its organ systems.

Therefore, it is so important to curtail normal physical activities to allow your body and its immune systems to address

the disease process before it becomes too serious.

Your personal health is the most valuable and essential process which you must have in order to sustain excellent well-being.

Wellness is a state which allows your body to function effectively and efficiently. A moderate level of activities permits sustaining your muscles and organ systems in a very good operations level which enable you to feel good and enjoy all of life's activities and pleasures.

Doing absolutely nothing does some damage usually evidenced by the atrophy of muscles which lose their strength and tone. A moderate level of exercise is best.

Getting back to the coronavirus, also keep in mind that it is one of numerous viruses, fungi, and bacteria which exist in the environment and are always ready to infect a weakened host.

Excessive food or alcohol consumption results in obesity and becoming too fat (overweight). Many drugs and tobacco’s nicotine are injuries when excess intake happens.

Some of us are allergic to certain foods (chemicals therein).

Your body will always let you know when any of its functional systems are being abused or damaged. Your body is always in equilibrium with the environment you reside in - all the time. That is why exercise in moderation, good nutrition, clean air and sufficient potable water are essentials to sustaining and maintaining your body in good health and wellness.

Take the time to experience and learn what your personal body will tell you as it experiences allergies induced by toxic substances. Also take the time to learn and listen to the constant stream of messages which your body's systems continuously convey to your mind. That is always a very good thing to do.

The coronavirus respiratory disease process is only one of many which your body will cope with successfully if you maintain and sustain a good lifestyle which is essential to enjoying life.

Many of life's essential processes happen so effectively and efficiently that we tend to take them for granted. Take time each day to check out all your body's essential functions which are invariably active and, on the job, dealing with potential diseases.

The coronavirus is very effectively invasive as a respiratory disease as evidenced by its high mortality rate. Let's do what it takes to ensure that this disease does not become established here in our community. Each and every one of us may take responsible actions when required to sustain and maintain our healthy community in this very good Silicon Valley environment.

Begin by remembering to cough and sneeze into the crook of your arm rather than into your cupped hands covering your mouth. It all beings with this simple adjustment to our habits.

It will take all of us to ensure that this virulent infective coronavirus does not become established in our community. And, we can do just that.

CUNDE EL ODIO Estados Unidos reportaron 7,120 crímenes de odio, lo que representó un descenso marginal respecto de los 7,175 reportados en 2018. No se trata por supuesto de la totalidad de crímenes, sino sólo de aquellos en los que intervino la policía.

En el 47% de los casos, las víctimas fueron afroamericanas, 20% blancas y 13% hispanas no-blancas.

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

S

e ha documentado que la mayoría (seis de cada diez) de los crímenes de odio en los Estados Unidos son motivados por la raza o el origen étnico, seguidos por el odio religioso, por la orientación sexual y la identidad de género, entre otros motivos.

En 2018, el último año para el que existen estadísticas disponibles, las 16,000 agencias policiacas de

Pero un reciente análisis publicado por The Washington Post arroja datos preocupantes: Los estudiantes latinos, negros o de religión musulmana han sido las principales víctimas de actos o de retórica racista o xenofóbica por parte de sus compañeros de escuela de la raza blanca o incluso de personal escolar desde que Donald Trump llegó a la presidencia de Estados Unidos.

Un análisis de 28,000 notas informativas periodísticas analizadas el Post encontró al menos 300 episodios de hostigamiento contra niños.

En alrededor del 66% de los casos,

los ataques fueron contra niños hispanos, negros o de religión musulmana.

Los ejemplos abundan: En Utah, dos niños blancos de Kínder le dijeron a un compañero latino que el presidente Trump lo enviaría de regreso a México.

En Tennessee, un grupo de alumnos blancos formó una cadena humana agarrados de los brazos para no dejar entrar a la escuela a estudiantes no blancos. Un incidente similar ocurrió en Ohio, donde un grupo de estudiantes blancos de escuela secundaria rodeó a una alumna latina para hacerle sentir que era “el país de Trump”.

En promedio, de acuerdo con la investigación del Post, se han publicado reportes de crímenes de odio dos incidentes por escuela semanalmente desde las elecciones presidenciales de noviembre del 2016.

Si te has sentido víctima de dis-

criminación racial, las posibilidades de que esto haya sido un crimen de odio, son altas. Si crees que has sido víctima de un incidente de odio, repórtalo a la policía.

Al igual que en el caso de los crímenes de odio reportados por el FBI, es lógico suponer que se trata apenas de un parte del universo total de incidentes que se registran en las escuelas del país, muchos de los cuales ni son denunciados a la policía ni aparecen en la prensa local.

Los expertos coinciden que los incidentes de odio deben por regla reportarse. Si eres mexicana o mexicano tienes la opción de hacerlo ante uno de los 50 consulados más cercano. Si no eres mexicano puedes hacerlo en alguna de las 27 oficinas de la Liga Anti-Difamación (ADL). Porque este este país todos tenemos derechos.

eading plays an obvious role in academic performance, but it’s also an essential life skill. Literacy and effective communication go hand-in-hand and inspiring a child to embrace reading and writing can help open a world of opportunity.

Celebrate the importance of literacy and help the children in your life develop a love of reading with these ideas: Make literacy a gift they’ll treasure.

Few kids remember what toys they received or when, but many have special memories of the books they read as children. Whether you gift a book that’s a classic childhood favorite, a story that held special meaning for you or even a book dedicated to today’s popular characters, encouraging reading is a gift that can keep giving for a lifetime.

Do business where literacy is a priority.

You can show your support for literacy by conducting business with retailers who not only support the cause, but also offer opportunities for the community to get involved Plant seeds of interest.

Kids are most likely to embrace reading when the topics they’re reading about capture their attention. Whether it’s comic books or chapter books, there’s no right or wrong source of reading material. If you’re not sure where to start, consider introducing books that come in a set or series. Once your children find a favorite, they’ll likely be eager to read additional books that take their favorite characters on new and exciting adventures.

Make reading a rewarding part of your routine.

Encourage reading as part of your family’s everyday schedule. Wind down with a book at bedtime or make story time together a reward for good behavior. When you visit the store, make a visit to the book aisle just as exciting as a trip to the toy department.

Attend events that celebrate literacy.

Each year, the Rose Parade captivates millions

of viewers with floats that are as beautiful as they are inspiring. To culminate its annual Toys for Tots Literacy Program, The UPS Store, which won last year’s top parade prize, will showcase tamarin monkeys, an endangered species, alongside toucans, salamanders, butterflies and parrots to represent hope and strong community ties on its 2020 float titled “Stories Change Our World”.

In addition, the float was the inspiration for “Tell Your Tale”, a contest for young authors across the nation. The winning entries will be published in a special anthology book that will be handed out to 10,000 guests at the “Post Parade: A Showcase of Floats” event and available online.

a lectura juega un papel obvio en el rendimiento académico, pero también es una habilidad vital esencial. La alfabetización y la comunicación efectiva van de la mano e inspirar a un niño a abrazar la lectura y la escritura puede ayudar a abrir un mundo de oportunidades.

Celebre la importancia de la alfabetización y ayude a los niños en su vida a desarrollar el amor por la lectura con estas ideas: Haga de la alfabetización un regalo que atesorarán.

Pocos niños recuerdan qué juguetes recibieron o cuándo, pero muchos tienen recuerdos especiales de los libros que leen cuando eran niños.

Ya sea que regale un libro que sea un clásico favorito de la infancia, una historia que tenga un significado especial para usted o incluso un libro dedicado a los personajes populares de hoy, alentar la lectura es un regalo que puede seguir dando para toda la vida.

Haga negocios donde la alfabetización sea una prioridad.

Puede mostrar su apoyo a la alfabetización realizando negocios con minoristas que no solo apoyan la causa, sino que también ofrecen oportunidades para que la comunidad se involucre.

Plantar semillas de interés.

Es más probable que los niños adopten la lectura cuando los temas sobre los que están leyendo captan su atención. Ya sean libros de historietas o capítulos, no hay una fuente correcta o incorrecta de material de lectura. Si no está seguro de por dónde comenzar, considere presentar libros que vienen en un conjunto o serie. Una vez que sus hijos encuentren un favorito, probablemente estarán ansiosos por leer libros adicionales que lleven a sus personajes favoritos a nuevas y emocionantes aventuras.

Haga de la lectura una parte gratificante de su rutina.

Fomente la lectura como parte del horario diario de su familia. Relájese con un libro a la hora de acostarse o haga de la hora del cuento juntos una recompensa por su buen comportamiento.

Cuando visite la tienda, visite el pasillo de libros tan emocionante como un viaje al departamento de juguetes.

Asista a eventos que celebren la alfabetización.

Cada año, el Desfile de las Rosas cautiva a millones de espectadores con carrozas que son tan hermosas como inspiradoras. Para culminar su programa anual de alfabetización Toys for Tots, The UPS Store, que ganó el premio principal del desfile del año pasado, exhibirá monos tití, una especie en peligro de extinción, junto a tucanes, salamandras, mariposas y loros para representar la esperanza y fuertes lazos comunitarios en su carroza 2020. titulado "Las historias cambian nuestro mundo".

Además, la carroza fue la inspiración para "Tell Your Tale", un concurso para jóvenes autores de todo el país. Las entradas ganadoras se publicarán en un libro especial de antología que se entregará a 10.000 invitados en el evento "Post Parade: A Showcase of Floats" y estará disponible en línea.

“TONALTIUYO IZCALLIPOTZINTLI”

COMMUNITY

Equinoccio de Primavera

D

Temachtiani Ocelocoatl S. Ramirez Especial para El Observador

esde tiempos primigenios, allá en la lejana Chicomoztoc (las siete cuevas), cuando el Nativo Preamericano, habitaba en cuevas, en sus andares de nómada-recolector; tuvo entonces conciencia, en la razón de su existencia, empezó así a cuestionarse; de aquello que había en su entorno y a tratar de darle sentido a todo cuanto lo rodeaba. Para ello, empezó con curiosidad inquisidora a observar detenidamente la naturaleza, pero más llamo su atención el Ilhuícatl (el cosmos), que por estar tan distante e incalzable, le represento un gran misterio.

De esta manera, con fundamento en las partes de su cuerpo, creo el tlapohuilli (computo matemático), Sistema vigesimal, sencillo y practico, además binario, basado en el punto y la línea que se consolido en una matemática posicional.

Por este medio, registro los cambios que ocurrían en su entorno y llego a la conclusión que son: cíclicos, periódicos, repetibles y por lo tanto, predecibles, esto queda de manifiesto en el: Cauhpohualli (computo del tiempo), los ciclos del Tonalli (día), Yohuilli (noche), Tlalpilli (semana), Cempohualilhuitl (veintena), Meztyotl (lunación, mes), Xihuitl (año), Xiuhmolpilli (atado de 52 años), Huehuetiliztli (atado de 104 años), etc.

El Tlalpohualli (cuentas de la tierra), en los que se establecen los periodos de lluvias y sequias, calor y frio, para saber cuándo se siembra y cosecha, dando origen a los periodos agrícolas.

También observo, que la tierra tiene Nahui ollin 4 movimientos (rotación, traslación, precesión y nutación). Esos movimientos originan cambios, en la naturaleza como: las 4 estaciones del año, los cambios del día y la noche, así como su duración, las variaciones de temperatura, etc., muy importantes para nuestros ancestros, pues gracias a ellos, se genera la vida y sustento.

Por eso, la ciencia agrícola fue el fundamento de la existencia en nuestra antigüedad; estos cambios, eran marcados con los 2 equinoccios (20 o 21 de marzo en el hemisferio norte y 22 o 23 de septiembre en el hemisferio sur) y los 2 solsticios (20 o 21 de junio y 21 o 22 de diciembre), las cuatro situaciones en las que inician las cuatro estaciones del año dando origen a los cuatro ámbitos: caliente, frio, húmedo, seco.

Por su revelante importancia, también se tomaron en cuenta los astros como: •

Meztli (luna)

•

Tonatiuh (el que va alumbrando, el sol)

•

Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli (Estrella de la mañana)

•

Xolotl (Estrella informe de la tarde), el planeta Venus,

•

Tianquizco (las pléyades), etc.

Se estudiaron, y se registraron en Tlatenonotza (petroglifos, estelas), Amoxtin (libros y lienzos) y concluyeron que estos astros, intervenían o influían en los fenómenos anteriores; así se creó el Xiuhpohualli (computo celeste, astronómico).

renace y se renueva con el clima cálido de Xopantla (primavera), es la época de fecundidad, reproducción, regeneración, etc. es Izcalliztli, Tlacaxipehualiztli veintenas del resurgimiento de la vida y la regeneración de la piel.

Desde tiempos primigenios los Olmecas, Teotihuacanos, Zapotecas, Mayas, Mixtecas, Toltecas y Mexihtin (Mexicas), etc. daban un gran significado a la llegada de Xopantla (la primavera), como queda de manifiesto en los casi incontables centros ceremoniales (hoy llamadas zonas arqueológicas).

Donde admirablemente se manifiestan acontecimientos astronómicos, que por sí solos, demuestran un aventajado desarrollo en las ciencias de la arquitectura y astronomía, a tal grado que quedo implícito en el meticuloso diseño urbanístico y arquitectónico de las ciudades, edificios y plazas que registran concienzudamente, dichos fenómenos, en un juego de luz y sombra; que solo se manifiestan en fechas señaladas a hora determinada.

Realmente, son uno momento fugaz, que ocurre en un instante de tiempo; no todo un día como se cree, aunque llamamos “día del equinoccio”, a la fecha en el que se manifiesta dicho fenómeno. Inclusive así se registra en los almanaques y calendarios como en los observatorios, comprobatorios de Xochicalco, Malinalco, y Dzibilchaltún.

En Chichen Itzá se puede apreciar en la Tzacualli (donde se guarda lo sagrado), el recinto dedicado a Kukulcán (serpiente preciosa de Quetzal) donde esta deciende por la alfarda, creada por el juego de luz y sombra, producida por la posicion del sol con la relación a la tierra, acontecimiento que solo se produce durante el equinoccio; a este fenómeno se le llama Teotemoc (el descenso serpenteante de la energía creadora).

El Tecpán (palacio) de Quetzalpapalotl (mariposa-quetzal), en Teotihuacan, que también funcionaba como un observatorio; el patio central es Coronado por sus cuatro lados con una estructura, que sustenta almenas con diseño geometrico-astronomico: El circulo, cuadrángulo y triangulo.

Las del lado de Tlanechtlampa (rumbo del amanecer, oriente), por la mañana entre 7:15 y 7:45 horas a.m., en el equinoccio de primavera, estas se proyectan en las robustas columnas, que tienen esculpidas representaciones de quetzal-tecolotl (tecolote quetzal) aves asociadas con los rayos solares, así como con la oscuridad.

El simbolismo es acerca del equilibrio entre la luz y la obscuridad, “el día y la noche iguales”. Las aves también simbolizan a las Citlaltin (estrellas), representadas en sus ojos, que tienen incrustaciones de reflejante obsidiana o mica.

También desde el Tlachialoyan (observatorio, comprobatorio) de Quetzalcóatl (serpiente preciosa), en el gran templo mayor de México Tenochtitlan, se registraba este acontecimiento, en un espacio creado para este fin, entre los Teocaltin de Huitzilopochtli y Tlaloc, en la cima del Hueyi Teocalli (templo mayor). Desafortunadamente fue totalmente destruido por los invasores españoles.

Por lo tanto, el equinoccio de primavera es: • Cuando el Dia y la noche son Patlax (iguales), es el equilibrio natural entre luz y obscuridad; representa el balance y armonía cósmica.

Sin embargo, la naturaleza humana no paso desapercebida, también estudio su esencia, así surgió el Tonalpohualli (cuenta de la vitalidad y el destino), aplicado en la concepción, gestación, el alumbramiento, las energías del día y la noche y entendieron que los astros mencionados, influyen a la vida y desarrollo del individuo, etc.

• Cuando Teotemoc “El descenso de la energía creadora”. La energía solar que se manifiesta como la Serpiente preciosa de Quetzal que desciende por la alfarda, creada por el juego de luz y sombra, producida por la posición del sol con relación a la tierra, que anuncia el advenimiento de Izcaliyotl.

El equinoccio, es el momento del año en que Tonatiuh (el que va iluminando, el Sol) alcanza su punto más alto en el Ilhuícatl (la bóveda celeste) ubicándose en el Aco (cenit), es justo cuando coinciden el ecuador celeste y el paralelo en declinación solar, como consecuencia de la posición que tiene la tierra en relación al sol; este evento astronómico marca la entrada de Xopantla (la primavera), una característica muy peculiar de este evento, es que los rayos solares inciden de la misma forma en el hemisferio norte y sur.

• Izcaliyotl (el resurgir de la vida), es la fertilidad, el apareamiento, la reproducción, el inicio y el renacimiento.

• Cuando se hace Tlacaxipehualiztli (la regeneración de la piel y cubierta vegetal en la naturaleza), representado en los iconos escultóricos como una segunda piel, no es un desollamiento, como nos han hecho creer.

De manera general, el equinoccio de primavera es el instante o fecha en que suceden cambios estacionales opuestos en ambos hemisferios.

Todo esto en el ámbito: físico, mental y spiritual. Este conocimiento quedo resguardado en la tradición oral y El Costumbre, también está grabada en la memoria genética de nuestro pueblo, y como dicta la consigna de Cuauhtemoctzin:

Dicho suceso astronómico genera peculiares cambios en la tierra como:

“To tonal ye okzepa tlauia” (nuestro Sol nuevamente nos vuelve a alumbrar)

1. El Sol sale por Tlanechtlampa (rumbo del origen de la luz) el este, en el ecuador latitud 0 grados y se pone por Cihuatlampa (rumbo de las mujeres) el oeste, con exactitud milimétrica.

Tomado de “Arquitectura solar”

2. Que el sol salga más temprano y decline más tarde, ocasionando que los días sean más largos o con más luz solar, que nos permite aprovechar más tiempo para optimizar nuestras actividades cotidianas.

Autor: Ocelocoatl S. Ramirez

3. Que el día tenga una duración “casi igual” al de la noche Patlax (Parejo o igual) en todos los lugares del planeta (con algunas pequeñas variantes por la refracción atmosférica que generan los diferentes usos horarios de acuerdo a las latitudes, o debido a las dimensiones del sol).

4. Termina el Cecuizpan (invierno), poco a poco se diluyen los fríos y la temperatura sube hasta ser muy agradable, todo reverdece,

EL "BOOM" DE LA LANGOSTA: ¿GRACIAS A LA CRISIS CLIMÁTICA?

S

FEB 21 - FEB 27, 2020

NEW ENGLAND'S LOBSTER BOOM, A BY-PRODUCT OF GLOBAL WARMING?

ESPAÑOL

ENGLISH

Albert Traver EFE

lobster in 2017 compared to 855 tons in 2000.

Similar trends were seen in Maine, the hub of lobster fishing, where lobster catch almost doubled in the same period to 50,000 tons.

eabrook, NH- Desde hace años, los pescadores de langosta del norte de Nueva Inglaterra sacan más producto que nunca, ellos lo atribuyen a los "ciclos" del mar, aunque los científicos piensan otra cosa: la crisis climática.

South of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, however, the industry is witnessing a rapid decline. In the same period in Rhode Island, the catch tumbled from 3,450 tons to 1,015. In New York, it went from 1,400 tons to just 75.

Es frío invierno en Nuevo Hampshire y la mayoría de los días no se puede salir a faenar por el viento, la lluvia o las malas condiciones marítimas. Los langosteros ven pasar los días con sus barcos amarrados en el puerto, esperando que llegue el "boom" del verano, la mejor época para su negocio.

Según datos oficiales, los pescadores de Nuevo Hampshire sacaron unas 2.750 toneladas de bogavante americano en 2017, comparadas con las 855 que habían pescado en el año 2000; un crecimiento parecido al que se dio en el estado de Maine, la meca de la langosta en EE. UU: de 28.600 toneladas en el 2000 a 56.000 en 2017.

La industria, sin embargo, ha vivido un dramático declive en los estados al sur del Cabo Cod (Massachusetts), como Rhode Island, que pasó de 3.450 toneladas en el 2000 a 1.015 en 2017, o Nueva York, con 1.440 toneladas en el 2000 y apenas 75 en 2017.

AGUAS CALIENTES Para los científicos la explicación es fácil. Las aguas en Nueva Inglaterra se han calentado tres veces más que en el resto del planeta, lo que ha provocado un movimiento de las especies que se pescan en la zona, con más langosta, pero menos bacalao o camarón.

"Desde el año 2000, el calentamiento ha causado que disminuya la productividad (de la langosta) al sur del Cabo Cod y que aumente en el Golfo de Maine", explica a Efe el director científico y experto en cambio climático del Instituto de Investigación del Golfo de Maine, Andrew Pershing.

"Como todos los animales -dice-, la langosta tiene un rango de temperatura en el que vive bien, pero si el agua está demasiado caliente o fría, su productividad disminuirá".

Sus proyecciones muestran que en los próximos 30 años Nueva Inglaterra "seguirá calentándose y posiblemente seguirá calentándose a más velocidad que la media global", por lo que la población de langosta en Maine y Nuevo Hampshire empezará a decaer y "volverá a niveles similares a los de principios de la década de 2000".

La consecuencia será una migración hacia las aguas de Canadá, incluso en Terranova e incluso Labrador, indicó Pershing.

Para entender las causas del calentamiento en el Golfo de Maine hay que mirar hacia el Ártico: "El agua fresca procedente del deshielo está alterando la circulación en el Atlántico Norte. Esto trae más agua caliente a la región y reduce la llegada de fría".

UN SINFÍN DE PESCADO Jerry Worcester hace décadas que se dedica a la pesca. Reconoce que saca más langosta ahora que años atrás, pero no cree que el calentamiento global tenga algo que ver en ello, sino más bien la presión de las autoridades contra los pescadores ilegales y los "ciclos" del mar.

La explicación de los "ciclos", de hecho, está bastante extendida entre los pescadores de la zona, en Seabrook, que atribuyen a las dinámicas del mar todo movimiento de especies.

"No creo que sea el cambio climático. Creo que existen ciclos, que tienes cuatro o cinco años en los que la pesca es realmente buena y luego tienes un mal año, y luego tienes nuevamente cuatro o cinco años buenos, y luego tienes otro año malo", defiende Worcester en entrevista con Efe.

For scientists, the explanation is simple.

Atraído por la bonanza del negocio langostero, dos años atrás el dominicano Juan Peralta decidió comprar un bote "sin saber siquiera manejarlo". "No sabía lo que estaba haciendo", confesó a Efe. Ahora la langosta "mantiene" a su familia: "Tú sabes, es buen dinero". Él saca entre 200 y 250 libras (90-115 kilos) cada vez que sale a faenar, aunque los barcos grandes que se adentran más adentro pueden traer en un día más de 1.000 libras (450 kilos). La libra se la compran a unos cinco dólares.

"Según he hablado con los pescadores más viejos de aquí, me dicen que la pesca está mejor que antes.

Hay muchas reglas, la están cuidando", aunque preguntado por la teoría científica sobre el calentamiento del agua responde: "Para mí está fría, súper fría".

eabrook, NH - The lobstermen of northern New England have been hauling in record numbers of the crustacean in recent years, something they attribute to the different “cycles” of the sea, but scientists have a different theory — climate change.

The cold winter is afoot in New Hampshire and maritime conditions are poor.

It is a time of year when the local lobster fishermen spend much of their time onshore, waiting for the boom of summer.

According to official data, fishermen in New Hampshire caught 2,750 tons of American

The waters off New England have warmed three times more than the rest of the planet, which has caused a migration of species in the region with lobster becoming more abundant but shrimp and cod becoming ever more scarce.

Andrew Pershing, the chief scientific officer and climate change ecologist at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute, said: “Since the year 2000, warming has caused the productivity south of Cape Cod to decline and the productivity in the Gulf of Maine to surge.”

Like any animal, lobsters have a preferred temperature range and if the water gets too cold, their reproduction rate shrinks.

As the waters in the Gulf of Maine continue to warm, lobster populations will steadily migrate north toward Canada.

“We found that the warming we expect over the next 30 years will cause the lobster population in Maine to decline, but not precipitously.

“Essentially, the population will return to levels similar to those in the early 2000s.”

The scientist said freshwater melt in the Arctic was starting to disrupt the circulation of the North Atlantic, bringing warm water to the region and reducing the supply of cold water.

Jerry Worcester has been fishing these waters for decades.

He has noticed his catch getting bigger but doesn’t believe climate change is a factor.

“I don’t think so much climate change. I think there are cycles, it goes four to five great years where fishing is really good and then you get a bad year,” he told EFE. For him, this explained why 2019 is set to see a 40 percent drop in lobsters.

Worcester said fish species such as cod that are theoretically in decline and now protected in the region are still there in abundance.

"We see them even closer to shore than we’ve ever seen them before, literally you see them less than a mile off the beach, and I don’t know how to explain that. You see more of everything, you see more seals, white sharks.

Again, I believe it goes in cycles.”

Attracted by the lobster bonanza, Dominican Juan Peralta decided to buy a boat two years ago despite having no experience in the job.

Now it has become a way of life.

Así explica que 2019, por ejemplo, cuando se estima que la pesca de langosta cayó un 40 %, fuese uno de esos "años malos".

He brings in between 200 and 250 pounds (90-115 kilograms) of lobster each outing. A pound of the crustacean goes for about $5.

Worcester también asegura que las especies que en teoría se han ido de la zona y tienen prohibido pescar, como el bacalao, siguen ahí, y en grandes cantidades.

Bigger ships can pull in around 1,000 pounds in one day.

"Los vemos más cerca de la costa que nunca antes, a menos de una milla de las playas, y no sé cómo

“I have spoken with the oldest fishermen here; they tell me the fishing is better than before.”

"GHOST" TAX PREPARERS CONTINUE TO VICTIMIZE TAXPAYERS

S

HISPANIC PR WIRE

nombre del asesor tampoco figura. Estas devoluciones son presentadas ante las autoridades como "elaborada por el propio contribuyente".

ACRAMENTO, California - There is a problem that continues to obsess those responsible for monitoring compliance with federal and state laws every fiscal season: ghost tax advisors.

These are people sheltered behind the facade of an accounting office that receive countless taxpayers and disappear just after the deadline for filing returns.

"Without a doubt, these people know how to disappear, but they usually leave a trail. We still have victims who can report them," said Susie DiMaggio, president of the California Tax Education Council (CTEC), a non-profit organization that works by state mandate and is responsible for administering the registry of 40,000 tax advisors without a license.

"It's an issue that even the IRS struggles to keep under control," DiMaggio added.

Here we explain how phantom advisors operate: they print tax returns for their clients, ask them to sign and send them by mail. Many taxpayers do not realize that the tax refund does not include the advisor's signature. In the case of electronically filled out forms, the name of the advisor does not appear either. These returns are presented to the authorities as "prepared by the taxpayer themselves".

"They should not do that. The legend elaborated by the taxpayer himself indicates that only the taxpayer prepared their return. The law requires paid advisors to sign their clients' forms," said DiMaggio.

Other common forms of fraud consist of ...

• Paste a commercial label on the tax return instead of signing it and writing your name. Customers receive the copy with the "tag", which appears to have been signed; however, a blank copy without any commercial label is presented to the authorities.

• Advisors who say "they have forgotten" to sign the return and promise to sign it once payment has

"No deben hacer eso. La leyenda elaborada por el propio contribuyente indica que únicamente el contribuyente preparó su declaración. La ley exige a los asesores remunerados que firmen los formularios de sus clientes", dijo DiMaggio.

Otras formas comunes de fraude consisten en…

• Pegar una etiqueta comercial en la declaración fiscal en lugar de firmarla y escribir su nombre. Los clientes reciben la copia con la "etiqueta", que parece haber sido firmada; sin embargo, se presenta una copia en blanco sin etiqueta comercial alguna a las autoridades.

"The other big problem is that these returns are usually full of false deductions and balances in favor.

Taxpayers may well feel that the money paid to the advisor was worth it because it seems that they will receive a large tax refund, but they end up spending more in audits, penalties and higher taxes, "said Esperanza Escobedo, a tax advisor registered in California and a member of the CTEC board.

ACRAMENTO, California - Hay un problema que sigue obsesionando a los responsables de vigilar el cumplimiento de las leyes federales y estatales cada temporada fiscal: los asesores fiscales fantasma.

Se trata de personas cobijadas detrás de la fachada de un despacho contable que reciben a infinidad de contribuyentes y desaparecen justo después del plazo de presentación de declaraciones.

Taxpayers can file complaints on ctec.org. Anonymous complaints are also received. All complaints go directly to the California Tax Board, which is the compliance monitoring section of the CTEC.

"Sin duda, esta gente sabe cómo desaparecer, pero suele dejar rastro. Aún tenemos víctimas que pueden reportarlos", dijo Susie DiMaggio, presidenta del Consejo para la Formación Fiscal de California (California Tax Education Council, CTEC), organización no lucrativa que trabaja por mandato estatal y se encarga de administrar el registro de 40,000 asesores fiscales sin licencia.

Taxpayers in California should always verify the legal qualifications of tax advisors. State law requires that everyone who charges for preparing tax returns be a lawyer, certified public accountant (CPA), tax advisor registered with the CTEC (CRTP) or registered agent (EA).

The CTEC is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1997 by the California State Legislature for the purpose of protecting taxpayers from fraudulent and incompetent tax advisors.

"Es un asunto que incluso el IRS lucha por mantener bajo control", añadió DiMaggio.

Aquí le explicamos cómo operan los asesores fantasmas: imprimen devoluciones fiscales para sus clientes, les piden que las firmen y las manden por correo.

Muchos contribuyentes no se dan cuenta de que la devolución fiscal no incluye la firma del asesor. En el caso de los formularios electrónicamente llenados, el

• Asesores que dicen "haberse olvidado" de firmar la devolución y prometen firmarla una vez recibido el pago.

"El otro gran problema es que estas devoluciones suelen estar llenas de falsas deducciones y saldos a favor.

Los contribuyentes bien pueden sentir que el dinero pagado al asesor valió la pena porque pareciera que van a recibir una cuantiosa devolución de impuestos, pero acaban gastando más en auditorías, penalizaciones e impuestos más altos", dijo Esperanza Escobedo, asesora fiscal registrada en California y miembro de la junta del CTEC. Los contribuyentes pueden presentar quejas en ctec. org. También se reciben quejas anónimas. Todas las quejas van directamente a la Junta de Impuestos, de California, que es la sección de vigilancia del cumplimiento del CTEC. Los contribuyentes en California siempre deben verificar las cualificaciones legales de los asesores fiscales.

La ley del estado exige que toda persona que cobre por elaborar declaraciones fiscales sea abogado, contador público certificado(CPA), asesor fiscal registrado ante el CTEC (CRTP) o agente matriculado (EA).

El CTEC es una organización no lucrativa que fue fundada en 1997 por la Legislatura del Estado de California con el propósito de proteger a los contribuyentes de los asesores fiscales fraudulentos e incompetentes.

“SOY COMO SOY”: EVOLVING IDENTITY IN ART

Experimental indie band Y La Bamba explores spirituality, politics and cultural identity through a Latinx lens and a walk down the streets of memory

Y

like.

To be like, 'Si puedo hablar español, y a veces no puedo, pero no importa. No tengo de otra.'

La Bamba is a self-described indie folk pop group from Portland, Oregon, spearheaded by vocalist and songwriter Luz Elena Mendoza, a first-generation Mexican American trying to make sense of coming from two vastly different worlds. The music of Y La Bamba, an amalgamation of her experiences and musical history which include Mexican showstoppers Los Bukis, to create a listening experience like no other.

I was wondering when you write music, when you create music, are you thinking about the fact that people are gonna hear it at some point, or are you doing it for personal reasons?

It's so personal. And I am a sensitive person and I can see how people try to gauge it. There are people that celebrate it. I'm not going to just be all negative and be like, 'oh, people are just making fun of me.' But there is like that seed in my mind.

On the day I speak to frontwoman Luz Elena, she’s taking a pit stop from her bands current tour in the Southern US to talk about her journey through music and identity. She tells me she’s somewhere around Asheville, North Carolina and half an hour from having to attend to another scheduled meeting. She’s willing to let out her sincere feelings for the interview though, even in a time crunch.

As far as feelings go, her plucky personality and sincerity permeate her words, not only within her songwriting but even as she speaks to me about her viewpoints and experiences. As a precursor to the following interview I’d like to add that this was a resoundingly successful and unexpected chat, that went from simply touching on Y La Bamba’s music and method, to an introspection of Mendoza’s own reason for being and doing what she does.

Hello Luz Elena. I wanted to start off by asking what your musical history is like. What are your strongest memories or first memories of the music that you can remember?

Oh, my gosh. It's all kind of collaged together. One of my first memories of music [had] been at church; a Catholic church, like alabanzas (musical praise), and me singing in the background. Before that is boleros, wapangos, musica huasteca, corridos, grupero bands like Los Bukis, Los Caminantes, Rigo Tovar, stuff like that. But the thing that always was around when it wasn't a quinceañera, or a bautismo or a wedding, was when it was a gathering with the family. Like la carne asada (BBQ), when there's like 20 or 25 people just like gathering around a house.

[There] would be like a band that they always hired.

I was raised pretty much in southern Oregon, so all the Latinos had their bands that they would hire.

And it wasn't mariachi bands that would come to your house and play for the family. This band consisted of a harp, a violin or two, a guitar and I think that's it. It's just like old, old music from pueblitos chiquitos, it's just like a go to. And corridos [too] in that sense. That's like one of my first memories, just being a little kid watching the older generation just kind of drink and eat food and we're just running around. It was just part of the package.

With that in mind, when did you begin to think about creating music and making something of your own, and getting into that?

It's so crazy to think about this because I've been thinking about it since I was a little kid. And I can remember a really early memory. We used to have to go with my parents whenever they paid their bills, like the water bill, the electricity bill and we would have to translate.

My dad would just drive us in his pickup truck, and we'd be in the back like in the camper. My brothers and I, and I would just be mimicking [the radio].

I'd just mumble the words and mimic the emotion, because I think you are a product of the environment. And my brothers would sing along with me, it was very infectious. Even though my brothers don't play music or sing, even as little kids, we liked having that shared experience when we were not with the elders. We would do that all the time. And then when you get home we carried 'the band' in the garage.

I used to sit on top of these boxes that my dad would make out of wood to put his working shoes in, and I would just turn them over and dance on them and hit it with a stick and make my beat. My brothers would just try to be my band, just like with the whatever the hell was around in the garage, and I would just be singing.

I used to watch "Siempre en Domingo" and "Saba-

This seed of, people are going to make fun of me for expressing myself in this way in Spanish or it's not going to be Mexican enough for the Mexicans. Or it's not going to be 'cool enough' for the white people or it's not going to be Mexican American enough for the Mexican Americans because of the way that I look, or people just don't know my full story.

Luz Elena Mendoza of Y La Bamba. Photo Credit: Christal Angelique do Gigante", seeing Daniela Romo and Yuri (Latin pop artists), and all these artists that weren't what my parents listened to. As a kid, I said, ‘I want to do that!’ My mom would be like, ‘No! Te van a robar!’

(You’ll be kidnapped).

Now, with hindsight, I look [back] at stuff like that. I was little, we lived in this house on Tea Party Street in Medford, Oregon. I remember exactly the moment when I was in the living room, what I was feeling and thinking. And then I used to make up my own songs, even though I didn't have an instrument to play.

I have the ear for harmony without even realizing it was like a skill. You grew up listening to people harmonizing with each other like this music. So, you're like, 'Oh this is normal'. And then when I was in junior high, mostly 8th grade through freshman year in high school, I used to go to Sam Goody [or] anywhere to look for those tape single cassettes, [where] one inside was an instrumental version of the song and the other version was the radio hit. But I would just get all this R&B and Hip Hop, and event stuff I didn't even know, I would just buy them and then I would check out what the instrumental was like. If there were no backup vocals, then I just wrote my own songs for them.

I did that a lot! I never thought it was bad, or it was a good thing, it was just the most natural, visceral thing. I just always wrote songs, [even] as a little teeny kid.

I mean, the fact that it was there, and I still am that person [is] like the most consistent thing that I know of my life. I think that expressing yourself and emoting is part of our culture, to express something really [strongly].

I think the most important follow up is do you have any of those tapes still?

No! No, I don't. I know. Everyone asks me that. Maybe my brothers have something. They were, and still are, my big supporters because they saw it all happen.

Moving onto the music you're creating now, I wanted to get your viewpoint on Latinidad and identity in music. Your music is bilingual, you grew up in the states, so how does that Latinx identity fit into your music?

Well, I think it's like what you hear and how you get it all out [is] natural, you know. So, it's something that hasn't been labor. It's never been a laborious thing to write the way that I write, to express myself in the language Spanish. [Even] though it’s a colonizer language. I mean, I can't help what I was raised with. So, I'm a product of exactly what my environment was.

You know, what my parents taught me, what I was surrounded by. It's as simple as that.

Also, Mexican American, that's a whole other Latinidad that needs to be celebrated. For so long, I'm thirty-seven, so there was a lot of shame being like me, 'I'm not from there. I'm not from Mexico and I'm not white. So, where am I?'

There's vergüenza. So, you just kind of get used to being like, 'Well, I'm not either. So, then what?' So recently the last couple of years, I'm like, 'You know what? That's a whole other Latinidad in itself but it needs to be celebrated. And so, the way I open my heart and my mouth and how I tried to articulate myself in Spanish has been like a growing experience for me to not be ashamed of my Spanglish or ashamed in a way that I am.

Not be so insecure about it. And I know that I'm not the only one. And now I'm like, 'fuck it.' Like when I go to Mexico, it helps me to be in that body of knowledge, of speaking in Spanish all the time. Obviously, the emotions have always been there. You know, like being, 'I'm fucking Mexican American!' and that will never go away. But to articulate yourself with a vocabulary has helped me a lot.

Also being confident in my Spanglish and not caring of people’s [opinion]. I'm like, 'You know what? Either you're gonna help me or you're just going to accept me for who I am.' And also know that this is a growing experience. I'm not invisible. I don't want to be invisible. Like, I don't want the Chicanos or the Mexican-Americans, and Latin American to be invisible with the fact that we are both and an in-between; and that I personally recognize the privilege of having a birth certificate, of being born in the United States. But that's a whole other thing.

To celebrate what it is that I am, my parents labor.

The reason why I am the way that I am is because my parents' hard work and me navigating through the world in this lens of knowing the difference of being a daughter from immigrant parents and like really celebrating it in everything that I do.

And because I do music, which is not the only thing, I just don't identify myself as a musician, it’s just another way of expressing myself. I'm going to express myself naturally, as a Mexican American.

We all have different experiences, for me specifically, I was really embarrassed. I was scared, really insecure about not being accepted by, like, whiteness, white people, and not being accepted by my Mexican family because I was just Americanized to them. Super fucking 'other unicorns', in both sides and that really messes with your psychology, like hella hard, [but] then you just kind of get used to it.

And again, because I'm thirty-seven, I know that the newer generation, there is a lot of strength because when I was twenty-five, I didn't have the validation or even had these conversations that we're having right now. And so, I've been trying to heal from what it is that I put up with for so long. And my speech through music, because it's communication, like my articulation in Spanish has gotten better.

But that's just for me. That's personal. You know, that's a personal thing for me. It's helping me grow.

And then I watch my growth, just being like, 'oh, I'm not going to be ashamed of this anymore.' I'm not going to be ashamed with me taking initiative and allowing myself to grow and whatever it is that looks

There's a lot of insecurity behind that, there always has been. But I still do it because it's the only thing.

It's what I have. It's almost much. It's natural. Yeah.

You know, and it really teaches me about where we're at as people.

I can't help the way that I am. If I want to rock a fucking mariachi suit, I'm going away and I know people are going to look at me, either Mexican Americans or Mexicans or whatever. Maybe I'll be like an ethnic token for the white people. But the people that I want the respect or the validation [from], it's awkward. It's still fucking awkward. When I go to Mexico City and then I have so much intimidation of just singing my songs in Spanish because I feel like when I go present myself, even though I blend in with them, but when I start talking about things that I'm talking about right now, a lot of the [wealthy] people, that don't know what it's like living or growing up humbly how my mom and dad and all my family that lives in California, they're like, 'What?'

I'm like, whoa. And that. And then and then what's popular and 'hip', this westernized way of thinking about music. It's not cultural. So, when I think about culture. I'm thinking about like what, um, what are we talking about here? Like, what is the Mexican culture? You know what I mean? For me, Mexican culture is not Mexico City.

It's Michoacán, pueblitos chiquitos. I know that for so long I thought that the Mexico was just ranchos because I grew up with parents that showed me that, you know. So, when I say that, I don't say that I'm making fun of myself. I say like, yeah, I'm trying to teach people by just even that story.

What is your favorite thing about doing all this at the end of the day and like traveling and performing in front of people, many who might say, 'I'm like you too!'

That's it. I've never done it en una manera para estar aquí, 'I wanna be famous!' Or whatever. I've always done what I've done for my family, even if they don't fucking get it, like the older generation. And I've had this social dysmorphia, this imposter syndrome of just not ever thinking I deserve what's going on or anything. I don't even see it. And then when people come up to me and they're like, 'yo también, yo también guey!' [It’s validating] Either we're talking about domestic violence or talking about like, [feeling] so invisible for X, Y and Z, that fills me. That is why that is why I'm personal. And I know the people that have been traveling with me the last year or so have also been going through things like that. That also means [something] to them in their own ways. And that's why it can be really strange sometimes when that is all mixed into an 'industry', which I have a hard time with.

But it's personal. It's my act. It's not even just activism.

It's like transparency. It's a story. And when we come together, it's like a gathering. It's like, 'Hey, vamos a esta quinceañera!' It's like that for me. I do it for each other, for us, for myself. Me growing, me seeing my growth before my own eyes. Like taking ownership and loving myself. It's a whole act of self-love.

Mercury News Editorial: Elect Lee to Board of Supervisors, February 2, 2020

Lee tiene la mejor combinación de experiencia e independencia.

Lo recomendamos a los votantes.

Three Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors seats are being contested in the March 3 election, and the races couldn’t be more different. ...And in District 3, four qualified candidates are vying to replace termed-out Supervisor Dave Cortese.

The county has a $7 billion budget and employs 22,000 workers in more than 70 different departments. In addition to serving as the safety net for those in need, the Board of Supervisors’ broad responsibilities include funding public safety and ensuring a fair criminal justice system, preventing homelessness and maintaining county roads, parks and libraries.

We recommend Simitian in District 5, Chavez in District 2 and former Sunnyvale City Councilman Otto Lee in District 3.

Recomendamos Simitian en el Distrito 5, Chávez en el Distrito 2 y el ex concejal de la ciudad de Sunnyvale Otto Lee en el Distrito 3.

District 3 (North Sunnyvale, Milpitas, & Alviso, Berryessa, East Foothills, Evergreen in San José) We recommended Otto Lee for the District 3 seat in 2008, when he ran against Cortese, and we haven’t changed our minds about his strengths.

An intellectual property attorney, Lee is the most thoughtful of the four candidates and has a proven track record on public safety, finances and the environment. Then there’s his independence. When discussing the issues, it’s clear that his first priority is the public good, meaning he can work with business and labor without being beholden to them.

Lee es el más considerado de los cuatro candidatos y tiene un historial probado en seguridad pública, finanzas y medio ambiente. Luego está su independencia. Cuando se discuten los problemas, está claro que su primera prioridad es el bien público.

Lee’s commitment to public service is admirable. He served on the Sunnyvale City Council from 2003-11 before vacating his seat for a yearlong deployment in Iraq as a U.S. Navy reservist. He was awarded a Bronze Star for helping bring home troops from Iraq. Lee retired from the Navy reserves in 2018, concluding a 28-year career with the rank of Commander.

He is well-versed on the county’s housing challenges. Finally, as an Asian immigrant, he would bring welcome diversity to the board.

El compromiso de Lee con el servicio público es admirable. Está bien versado en los desafíos de vivienda del condado. Finalmente, como inmigrante asiático, traería una bienvenida diversidad a la junta.

Lee faces strong opposition from Assemblyman Kansen Chu and San José City Councilwoman Magdalena Carrasco.

Chu took the unusual step of running for supervisor instead of seeking another Assembly term, saying he wanted to “focus on the important issues back home.” He has a wealth of experience, having also served on the San José City Council and Berryessa Union School Board. ...But he has not been a strong leader in the Assembly. His most notable bill in 2019 was his effort to eliminate Daylight Savings Time. His long list of labor endorsements signals that he would not be as independent as Lee. Carrasco also has labor’s backing, but she has built a reputation on the San José Council as an independent thinker. Her background as a social worker makes her knowledgeable about safety-net issues, and as a Latina who grew up in San José, she would bring insight into women’s and immigration issues.

Lee has the best combination of experience and independence.

We recommend him to voters. https://www.mercurynews.com/2020/02/02/editorial-elect-simitian-chavez-and-lee-to-board-of-supervisors/

McNall No.20PR187598 To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Carol A. McNall, Carol McNall.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Jennifer Sofes in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara.

The Petition for Probate requests that Jennifer Sofes be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admit-

ted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administer of Estate Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take any actions without obtaining court approval.

REYNOSO DIAZ, Adopting Parent FROM: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO: JOSE G. PARRA By order of this court you are hereby advised that you May appear before the Hon. Lori Pegg, Judge presiding in Department 72 of the court located at 201 N. 1st St., San Jose, CA 95113, on February 24, 2020, at 10:30AM, then and there to show cause, if any you have, why ERIK PARRA DIAZ should not be declared free from your parental Control and custody for the purpose of freeing ERIK PARRA DIAZ for placement for adoption. The following information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding to declare minor free from your parental control and custody as set forth in Family Code Section 7860 et. Seq.: 1. At the beginning of the proceeding the court will consider whether or not the interest of the minor child requires the

appointment of counsel.

If the court finds that the interests of the minor do require such protection, the court will appoint counsel. The minor will not be present in court unless he requests or the court so orders.

2. If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel.

The court will not appoint the same counsel to represent both the minor and his parent.

3. The court may appoint either the public defender or private counsel.

If private counsel is appointed, he or she will receive reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the court. That amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, in such proportions as the court believes to be just. If, however, the court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel the amount will be paid by the county.

4. The court may continue the proceeding for not more than thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel to become acquainted with the case.

Nos han hecho reír y gozar con obras como “Chismes de Machos”, “La Casada Imperfecta" y "La Primera Dama", sólo por mencionar algunas de sus obras más recientes. Verónica Meza, actriz mexicana, fundadora y directora de Teatro Nahual, nos comentó que Malinche Show, es una obra muy aclamada tanto dentro como fuera de México. Su autor es el reconocido dramaturgo mexicano Willebaldo López, quien ha recibido premios por su carrera artística. Esta nueva comedia de Teatro Nahual, contará con las actuaciones de Abraham Mijangos, Blanca Nieto, Luis Nicolás, Eugenio Rocca, Alicia Sauceda, Gerardo Fernández, John Cabrera, Gregorio Montes, Luis Mairena y Alejandra Trigueros. En la música, Isidro Jiménez junto a la soprano Divina Ortega.

Maliche Show recrea la época de la conquista, haciendo énfasis en las relaciones que existían entre La Malinche, Hernán Cortés y Cuauhtémoc, el último emperador azteca.

En la obra se relata de manera cómica, los pormenores de la conquista de Tenochtitlán y cuál fue el rol de la Malinche o Doña Marina en relación con Hernán Cortés. La Malinche ha sufrido de un estigma durante muchos siglos, pues se le considera una traidora de su raza, sin embargo; esto, es lo que nos dicen los libros de texto, hay que profundizar en el tema y darse cuenta que ella fue una mediadora y traductora, ya que aprendió a hablar español y

dominaba varias lenguas entre ellas el maya quiché y el nahuatl. Nos comentó Verónica Meza,"Si se profundiza en el tema, el verdadero deseo de la Malinche, era evitar el derramamiento de sangre, pues temía al mismo tiempo ser una de las doncellas escogidas para ser sacrificada a los dioses aztecas”.

Esta nueva obra de Teatro Nahual, además de hacernos reír de principio a fin, nos hará reflexionar acerca de las relaciones de México con otros países y nos dejará una moraleja. Luis Rosales, admirador y seguidor de Teatro Nahual, nos comentó que nunca se pierde estas obras maravillosas y divertidas. “Abraham Mijangos, es un cómico nato, tiene una magia para hacer reír al público, con un gesto que haga, te hará reír. Asimismo, gozo con las actuaciones de todo el elenco; señaló, Luis".

La obra teatral "Malinche Show" se estrenará en MACLA. 510 S. First Street, San José, California. El día sábado 29 de febrero a las 7:30 p.m. Habrá una recepción antes de la presentación de la obra.
