mally authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), throws a mandatory question: Will we be Hispanics, African Americans, Native Americans and others? Vulnerable minorities, victims of a new form of discrimination in the distribution and application of vaccines?

E

s innegable que la pandemia del COVID-19 ha puesto al descubierto la amplia brecha de las desigualdades estructurales que sufren las comunidades hispana y afroamericana en los Estados Unidos, y que han provocado un desproporcional impacto sobre nuestros trabajadores más esenciales: campesinos, empacadores de carne, trabajadores de servicios básicos que arriesgan la vida todos los días, no por opción sino por necesidad.

Por eso la inminente llegada este mes de la vacuna o vacunas contra el COVID-19, una vez que sean formalmente autorizadas por la Administración de Drogas y Alimentos (FDA) arroja una pregunta obligatoria: ¿Seremos los hispanos, afroamericanos, nativos americanos y otras minorías vulnerables, víctimas de una nueva forma de discriminación en la distribución y aplicación de las vacunas?

En otras palabras, ante la realidad de que no habrá suficientes dosis para los más de 330 millones de residentes de los Estados Unidos ¿Seremos los últimos en la fila? ¿Se buscará asegurar que los retos crónicos de acceso a la atención médica, seguro de salud, transportación, no se conviertan en impedimentos reales para la obtención de la vacuna?

El Comité Asesor de Prácticas de Inmunización (ACIP) de lo Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) votó con 13 votos a favor y uno en contra, por la secuencia para priorizar la distribución de las vacunas que podrían ser autorizadas (Pfizer y Moderna).

Si los CDC aceptan la recomendación, los primeros en la fila (en la fase 1A), serán los 21 millones de trabajadores del sector salud, junto con los 3 millones de personas que residen en instalaciones de salud de largo plazo, donde se registra el 40% de los decesos relacionados con el COVID-19 a nivel nacional.

Bajo la propuesta, el restante de 80 millones de trabajadores esenciales en la agricultura, empacadoras de carne, transporte, servicios públicos, recibirán la vacuna enseguida (en la fase 1B) y después los adultos con “condiciones médicas de alto riesgo” o los mayores de 65 años. ¿Cuándo? Si la FDA lo autoriza, para finales de diciembre habrá una disponibilidad de alrededor de 40 millones de dosis de la vacuna de los Estados Unidos, lo cual quiere decir que serán suficientes para vacunar a unos 20 millones de personas, toda vez que tanto la vacuna de Pfizer como la de Moderna requieren dos dosis para lograr máxima efectividad.

Consciente de las lacerantes disparidades entre los grupos más vulnerables, el Comité se condujo bajo tres principios éticos intachables: Maximizar los beneficios de la vacuna y minimizar perjuicios; promover justicia y mitigar Inequidades de salud. Varios de los miembros del Comité enfatizaron la im-

portancia de que sea un proceso equitativo.

Es enorme el reto para lograr convencer a un público escéptico de que las vacunas serán seguras y efectivas, especialmente a las minorías raciales y étnicas que tienen una desconfianza histórica hacia el sistema de salud y el gobierno.

Pero saber que la prioridad serán los trabajadores más esenciales y las personas más vulnerables, es un primer gran paso para empezar a restaurar esa confianza, en momentos que no sólo es más necesaria que nunca, sino vital.

t is undeniable that the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the wide gap in structural inequalities suffered by the Hispanic and African American communities in the United States, and that they have caused a disproportionate impact on our most essential workers: farmers, meat packers, basic service workers who risk their lives every day, not by choice but by necessity.

That is why the imminent arrival this month of the vaccine or vaccines against COVID-19, once they are for-

In other words, faced with the reality that there will not be enough doses for the more than 330 million residents of the United States, will we be the last in line? Will it be sought to ensure that the chronic challenges of access to medical care, health insurance, transportation, do not become real impediments to obtaining the vaccine?

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) voted with 13 votes in favor and one against, for the sequence to prioritize the distribution of vaccines that could be authorized (from Pfizer and Moderna).

If the CDC accepts the recommendation, the first in line (in phase 1A) will be the 21 million health workers, along with the 3 million people who reside in long-term health facilities, where the 40% of deaths related to COVID-19 nationwide.

Under the proposal, the remaining 80 million essential workers in agriculture, meatpacking, transportation, and utilities, will receive the vaccine right away (in phase 1B) and then adults with “high-risk medical conditions” or those over 65 years.

When? If the FDA authorizes it, by the end of December there will be an availability of about 40 million doses of the vaccine from the United States, which means that they will be enough to vaccinate about 20 million people, since both the vaccine Pfizer and Moderna require two doses for maximum effectiveness.

Aware of the excruciating disparities among the most vulnerable groups, the Committee conducted itself under three impeccable ethical principles: Maximizing the benefits of the vaccine and minimizing harm; promoting justice, and mitigating health inequities.

Several of the members of the Committee emphasized the importance of a fair process.

The challenge to convince a skeptical public that vaccines will be safe and effective is enormous, especially racial, and ethnic minorities who have a historical distrust of the health care system and the government. But knowing that the priority will be the most essential workers and the most vulnerable people is a great first step in starting to restore that trust, at a time that is not only more necessary than ever, but vital.

REPORT: COVID SOARS IN NURSING HOMES WITH MORE PATIENTS OF COLOR

Health Care Foundation, which commissioned the report.

"Black and Latinx people in California are disproportionately impacted by this virus," said Stremekis. "And we need to make sure that those facilities which are serving Black and Latinx patients have the resources that they need to keep people safe."

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - Un nuevo informe señala por qué COVID-19 se propagó tan rápido este verano en los hogares de ancianos de California.

El estudio encontró que los centros de enfermería especializada que cumplen con los niveles de personal recomendados para las enfermeras registradas tenían la mitad de infecciones en comparación con los que no cumplen con los estándares. Y las tasas de infección por el nuevo coronavirus son tres veces más altas en instalaciones con un gran número de pacientes afroamericanos.

Eso es según Kristof Stremekis, director de análisis de mercado y conocimiento de la California Health Care Foundation, que encargó el informe.

"Las personas afroamericanas y latinx en California se ven afectadas de manera desproporcionada por este virus", dijo Stremekis. "Y debemos asegurarnos de que las instalaciones que atienden a pacientes afroamericanos y latinos tengan los recursos que necesitan para mantener a las personas seguras".

The report says the risk factors have changed over time. In May, the data showed for-profit nursing homes had infection rates five to six times higher than nonprofit or government-owned facilities.

But by August, other risk factors took precedence, with higher rates seen among male patients and people over age 85.

The report recommends the state strengthen oversight of nursing-care facilities and require higher staffing levels. Stremekis said as vaccines become available, the data will guide decisions on where to deploy resources first.

USTIN, Texas - A new initiative to turn around the college enrollment decline in Texas due to fallout from COVID-19 was announced on December 1st.

'Future Focused Texas' is a collaborative effort to maintain the state's college enrollment rates despite the effects of the health crisis.

Texas Commissioner of Higher Education Harrison Keller said university enrollment was down 3% statewide this fall compared to the previous year, and down 8% at two-year institutions. Keller said he sees the pandemic as the most significant disruption to higher education since the end of World War II. "Enrollments at many of our colleges and universities are down," said Keller. "Especially at community colleges and universities that enroll greater numbers of low-income students."

He added the pandemic is disproportionately affecting underrepresented students, including lowincome, Hispanic, Black and rural Texans.

'Future Focused Texas' is aiming for regular contact with high-school students and their school counselors, to reinforce the importance of learning beyond

John Fitzpatrick, executive director of Educate Texas, said 350,000 high-school seniors in the state are at risk this year of not enrolling in college for 2021.

He said high-school counselors and college admissions officers are critical to the initiative. They're typically the ones who engage students about attending college - which is extremely hard at this time.

"You know a year ago, it was really easy to find a high school senior in the hall of a school," said Fitzpatrick.

"But now the student may not even be in the building.

Counselors and college recruiters are being forced to pivot, and we're trying to provide some additional resources, tools and strategies."

One early warning sign that prompted action was a decline in applications for federal student financial aid.

Fitzpatrick said 700 counselors across the state have already agreed to participate in the outreach effort.

The data show only two Texas regions saw enrollment increases - the Southeast and High Plains - while the Gulf Coast region showed the greatest decline.

Support for this reporting was provided by Lumina Foundation.

ustin, TX - La actual crisis de salud COVID-19 podría ser un soplo para la futura fuerza laboral de Texas, debido al impacto negativo que ha tenido en la matrícula de las instituciones de educación superior. Una iniciativa colaborativa para manejar el problema fue anunciada el martes (1 Dic).

Comentan Harrison Keller, comisionado en "Texas Higher Education" (Educación Superior de Texas); y John Fitzpatrick, director ejecutivo en "Educate Texas" (Educar a Texas).

Una nueva iniciativa para revertir un descenso en las inscripciones al colegio debido a las consecuencias del COVID-19 fue anunciada el martes en Texas. "'Future Focused Texas'", Texas Enfocada en el Futuro, es un esfuerzo de colaboración para mantener alto el índice estatal de inscripción a estudios superiores, a pesar de los efectos de la crisis sanitaria. Harrison Keller, Comisionado de Texas para Educación Superior (Texas Higher Education Commissioner), dice que la pandemia ha sido el disruptor más significativo para la educación superior, desde del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial.

"La inscripción en muchos de nuestros colegios y universidades esta caída - especialmente si inscriben gran cantidad de estudiantes de bajos ingresos."

Keller dice que las inscripciones preliminares bajaron tres por ciento en el estado este otoño, comparado al de 2019, y ocho por ciento en instituciones de dos años. Añade que la pandemia está afectando desproporcionadamente a estudiantes que tienen

poca representación, incluidos los estudiantes de bajos ingresos, estudiantes hispanos y negros y rurales.

John Fitzpatrick, Director Ejecutivo de "Educate Texas", dice que en el estado 350 mil "seniors" de "high school" están en riesgo este año por no inscribirse en el colegio para el 2021. Agrega que los consejeros de "high school" y los oficiales del colegio son cruciales para la iniciativa, porque típicamente son quienes reclutan estudiantes del colegio - lo cual es extremadamente difícil en este tiempo.

"Sabes, hace un año era muy fácil encontrar a un estudiante terminal de "high school" en los pasillos de la escuela, y ahora el estudiante puede incluso no estar en el edificio. A los consejeros y reclutadores del colegio se les está obligando a pivotear, y buscamos más recursos, herramientas y estrategias."

Un signo preventivo que llevó a la iniciativa fue la reducción en las solicitudes de ayuda económica federal para el estudiante. Los datos muestran que sólo dos regiones de Texas tuvieron un aumento en su matrícula: el Sureste y "High Plains", mientras que la región de la Costa del Golfo mostró la mayor declinación.

Una nueva iniciativa para revertir un descenso en las inscripciones a el colegio debido a las consecuencias del COVID-19 fue anunciada el martes en Texas.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - COVID-19 ha provocado un gran aumento en la pobreza, y ahora California tiene el mayor número de niños que padecen hambre del país con 2.2 millones de niños que viven en hogares con inseguridad alimentaria, donde al menos un miembro de la familia no tiene suficiente comer.

Tamara Sandberg, asesora de seguridad alimentaria y nutrición de EE. UU. En la organización sin fines de lucro Save the Children, dijo que la organización se ha asociado con distritos escolares rurales para distribuir comidas.

"California ha experimentado el mayor aumento en la cantidad de niños que viven en hogares con inseguridad alimentaria, con más de 860,000 niños de California que experimentan hambre ahora en comparación con antes de la pandemia", explicó Sandberg.

Los voluntarios están distribuyendo comidas en los

lugares de servicio e incluso conducen autobuses escolares llenos de comidas a vecindarios más remotos en los condados de Fresno, Los Ángeles, San Bernardino y Tulare. Vaya a savethechildren.org para averiguar si su distrito escolar participa.

Sandberg señaló que el programa ha distribuido 9 millones de comidas en todo el país desde marzo.

"Así que solo aquí en la zona rural de California, el personal de Save the Children ha ayudado a distribuir alrededor de 700.000 comidas nutritivas para los niños de algunas de las comunidades rurales más empobrecidas del estado", informó Sandberg.

El próximo martes es "Martes de regalos". Las personas que quieran ayudar pueden enviar un mensaje de texto con la palabra PLATE al 20222 para hacer una donación única de $ 10.

En noticias relacionadas, las familias que forman parte del programa federal de almuerzos gratuitos o de precio reducido recibirán dos meses adicionales de dinero para comestibles a través del programa Pandemic EBT. Las tarjetas de beneficios se enviarán por correo antes de fin de año.

SCHOOLS TEAM UP WITH NONPROFITS TO COMBAT CHILD HUNGER ENGLISH "California has seen the highest increase in the number of children living in food-insecure households, with over 860,000 California kids experiencing hunger now compared with before the pandemic," Sandberg explained.

Volunteers are distributing meals at drive-up locations and are even driving school buses packed with meals out to more remote neighborhoods in Fresno, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Tulare counties. Go to savethechildren.org to find out if your school district is participating.

Red Line does not print. It represents the 3” safety area. Please verify critical elements are within the safety area.

2. Clean and devein the chiles. Lightly toast them on a comal or skillet over medium heat, be careful not to burn them (burnt chiles make the consommé taste a bit bitter). Soak the chiles in hot water for 10 minutes or until they soften.

3. On a comal over medium heat, roast the tomatoes, onion and garlic. When they are roasted, place them in the blender.

4. In a small skillet, over medium heat, lightly toast the cloves, cinnamon, cumin seeds, fat peppers, oregano, and marjoram. They only roast for a few seconds. Place them in the blender along with the ginger, orange juice and vinegar.

5. Once the chiles are soft, drain and add to the blender. Grind to a smooth sauce. Add a cup of water in case it's too thick. Season with salt.

6. Pour the sauce over the meat along with 2 cups of water, so that the meat is well covered, we want the Birria to have enough consommé. Cover the pan and marinate in the refrigerator overnight or at least 4 hours for the pork to absorb the flavors.

7. Put the pork together with the sauce in a large pot, cover and cook over medium heat for about 3 hours, or until the meat is already cooked and can be easily shredded. Add salt if necessary.

8. When the Birria is ready, remove a little of the pork. Unravel it and put it aside.

To make the Quesabirrias, take a corn tortilla and dip it in the consommé (the broth where the Birria was cooked), so that it is well covered, place it on a comal or frying pan, and add a little cheese, let melt a bit. Add meat from the Pork Birria, onion and chopped cilantro, fold the tortilla in half, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown. Serve with consommé and a little coriander and onion.

REPORT: BUILD SKILLS BEYOND DEGREES FOR HIGH-PAYING JOBS ENGLISH

Good communication skills can boost a person's wages up to 20%, according to a new report.

ORTLAND, Ore. -- A new report emphasizes the skills workers need that go beyond a degree or certification in order to get a high-paying job. The Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce identifies skills and abilities employers are looking for, and says communication skills are in the highest demand.

The report says good communication can boost a person's wages across industries - by up to 20%. Jason Payton is the occupational economist at the Oregon Employment Department.

"You can have the technical skills, the technical academic background necessary for a role, but if you can't communicate your ideas, if you can't disseminate and work well with others, it's going to be hard to leverage that skill and competency," Payton said.

The report lists other important skills as teamwork, sales and customer service, and problem solving and complex thinking.

Researchers looked at 120 knowledge areas, skills and abilities, using the Occupational Information Network database, which includes the competencies needed for more than 1,000 occupations.

Payton said finding people with these competencies has been a challenge in recent years. Workforce gaps reports in 2018 and 2019 from his department found 11% and 8% of employers, respectively, said it was hard to fill vacancies because applicants lacked "soft skills."

"We actually saw a spread of occupations in the building trades, like carpenters and construction laborers, as well as personal care aides - all have issues related to soft skills or lack thereof," he said.

The pandemic has made it even harder to find a job. But Payton said there are opportunities to build the competencies identified in the Georgetown report.

"It's those type of entry-level jobs or in-between jobs that give us the opportunity to develop those experiences, strengthen those competencies and be more competitive when we do have those future job opportunities and 'dream jobs' come up," he said.

DESARROLLEN DESTREZAS MÁS ALLÁ DE LOS TÍTULOS PARA TENER TRABAJOS BIEN PAGADOS ESPAÑOL

ORTLAND, Ore. -- Un reporte reciente enfatiza las destrezas que los trabajadores necesitan tener y que son más que un título o un certificado para conseguir un trabajo bien pagado. El Centro de la Universidad Georgetown en Educación y la Fuerza Laboral (Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce) identifica las destrezas y habilidades que buscan los empleadores, entre las que las habilidades de comunicación son las que tienen mayor demanda.

El informe dice que las buenas habilidades de comunicación pueden aumentar los pagos de una persona en todas las industrias y hasta en un 20 por ciento. Jason Payton es el economista ocupacional en el Departamento del Empleo de Oregon (Oregon Employment Department).

"Puedes tener las habilidades técnicas, los antecedentes académicos técnicos necesarios para un puesto, pero si no puedes comunicar tus ideas no puedes diseminarlas ni trabajar bien con los demás, será difícil apalancar esa destreza y competencia."

Otras habilidades importante incluyen el trabajo en equipo, ventas y servicio al cliente, y solución de problemas y pensamiento complejo. Los investigadores tomaron en cuenta 120 áreas de cono-

cimiento, destrezas y habilidades, aplicando la base de datos "Red de Información Ocupacional" (Occupational Information Network), que incluye las competencias necesarias para más de mil puestos.

AVISO DE DISPONIBILIDAD DEL BORRADOR DEL INFORME DE IMPACTO AMBIENTAL Y REUNIONES EN LÍNEA PARA EL PROYECTO VALLEY LINK PERIODO DE REVISIÓN PÚBLICA: 2 DE DICIEMBRE DE 2020 AL 21 DE ENERO DE 2021 La Autoridad Ferroviaria Regional de Tri-Valley-San Joaquin Valley (Autoridad), actuando como agencia líder de acuerdo con la Ley de Calidad Ambiental de California (California Environmental Quality Act, CEQA), elaboró un borrador del informe de impacto ambiental (Environmental Impact Report, EIR) para el Proyecto Valley Link (Proyecto Propuesto).

El propósito de este aviso de disponibilidad es para notificar a las agencias, organizaciones e individuos que la Autoridad ha publicado el borrador del EIR y está solicitando comentarios sobre el análisis ambiental presentado en el borrador del EIR de todas las agencias públicas relevantes. También solicitamos comentarios de personas u organizaciones interesadas sobre el borrador del EIR. Para ver el aviso de disponibilidad completo, que contiene más información sobre el Proyecto, visite www.valleylinkrail.com.

Disponibilidad del borrador del informe de impacto ambiental: El borrador del EIR está disponible en el sitio web de la Autoridad en esta ubicación: https://www.valleylinkrail.com/environmental-ceqa/ Debido a los requisitos actuales de distanciamiento social por COVID-19, incluida la orden del condado de Alameda de apegarse a los requisitos de distanciamiento social, una copia impresa del borrador de EIR está disponible para que la consulte el público mediante cita previa en la oficina de la Autoridad Ferroviaria Regional de Tri-Valley San Joaquin Valley en 1362 Rutan Court, Suite 100, en Livermore, California. Envíe un correo electrónico o llame al número de solicitud de información para concertar una cita.

Línea de información: para obtener más información, envíe un correo electrónico a info@valleylinkrail.com o llame a la línea de solicitud de información al (925) 455-7591 y deje un mensaje.

Descripción del Proyecto: La Autoridad propone establecer un nuevo servicio ferroviario de pasajeros a lo largo de un corredor de 42 millas entre la actual estación Dublin/Pleasanton de Transporte Público Rápido del área de la Bahía (Bay Area Rapid Transit, BART) y la estación North Lathrop aprobada de Altamont Corridor Express (ACE), que se incluye en el proyecto extensión Lathrop a Ceres/ Merced de ACE. El Proyecto Propuesto esta ubicado en los condados de Alameda y San Joaquin. El Proyecto Propuesto operaría en la mediana de la interestatal (I-) 580 (11.7 millas) en el segment Tri-Valley; en el derecho de vía del Corredor de Transporte del Condado de Alameda (14.5 millas); y dentro de la Línea Industrial Owens-Illinois de Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) y la subdivisión Tracy existente (16.1 millas) en el condado de San Joaquin.

Impactos ambientales potenciales El Proyecto Propuesto tendría como resultado beneficios regionales generales en términos de reducción del tráfico regional y millas recorridas por vehículos, lo cual mejoraría las conexiones de transporte regional, mejoraría la calidad operativa del aire en general, reduciría las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero y reduciría el uso de energía.

El Proyecto Propuesto daría lugar a los siguientes impactos significativos e inevitables, incluso después de la implementación de la mitigación: conversión permanente de importantes tierras agrícolas; contribución significativo a los riesgos acumulativos para la salud de la calidad del aire , relacionados con las partículas en Tri-Valley; impactos de la construcción en relación con la calidad del aire ambiental localizado en San Joaquin Valley; impactos operativos a especies de estatus especial y al movimiento de vida silvestre asociados con la operación de la estación Greenville, la estación Mountain House y la alternativa del OMF de West Tracy; la inconsistencia del uso de terreno y la posible inducción de un crecimiento no planificado localizado en las inmediaciones de las estaciones Greenville y Mountain House, y ruido de construcción y funcionamiento en ciertas ubicaciones.

El Proyecto Propuesto daría lugar a impactos menos que significativos (incluidos impactos menos que significativos con mitigación) en otras áreas de recursos: estética (construcción y operación); recursos agrícolas (construcción); calidad del aire (construcción y operación, además de las contribuciones a los impactos acumulativos); recursos biológicos (construcción y operación, además de impactos operativos sobre especies de estatus especial y movimiento de vida silvestre en la estación Greenville, la estación Mountain House y la alternativa del OMF de West Tracy); recursos culturales (construcción y operación); energía (construcción y operación); geología y suelos (construcción y operación); emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (construcción y operación); peligros y materiales peligrosos (construcción y operación); hidrología y calidad del agua (construcción y operación); uso y planificación del terreno (construcción y operación, además de las estaciones Greenville y Mountain House); vibración (construcción y operación); población y vivienda (construcción y operación, aparte de las estaciones Greenville y Mountain House) recreación (construcción y operación); seguridad y protección (construcción y operación); transporte (construcción y operación), y servicios públicos y sistemas de servicios (construcción y operación).

Varias instalaciones asociadas con el Proyecto Propuesto están ubicadas en sitios incluidos en una lista de materiales peligrosos/sitios contaminados (lista Cortese) compilada de conformidad con la Sección 65962.5 del Código Gubernamental.

Payton dice que encontrar gente con esas competencias ha sido un reto en años recientes. Los vacíos de fuerza laboral en 2018 y 2019 en su departamento encontraron que el 11 y el 8 por ciento, respectivamente, dijeron que era difícil llenar los puestos vacíos porque los solicitantes no tenían las llamadas destrezas suaves.

Reuniones en línea

"De hecho vimos una variedad de ocupaciones en los oficios de la construcción como carpinteros y albañiles, igual que ayudantes del cuidado personal; todos tienen problemas con las habilidades sociales o la falta de ellas."

Las tres reuniones en línea se llevarán a cabo en las siguientes fechas y horas:

La pandemia dificultó todavía más encontrar trabajo. Pero Payton dice que sí se pueden desarrollar las destrezas identificadas en el reporte de Georgetown.

"Ese tipo de trabajos de entrada, o intermedios, son los que nos dan oportunidad de desarrollar esas experiencias, reforzar esas competencias y ser más competitivos cuando tengamos esas oportunidades futuras de trabajar y lleguen los trabajos sonados."

GRUPOS CONDENAN LAS AUDIENCIAS DE GROUPS CONDEMN MICHIGAN MICHIGAN SOBRE IRREGULARIDADES HEARINGS ON VOTING IRREGULARITIES EN LA VOTACIÓN ENGLISH

ANSING, Mich. - Some advocacy groups in Michigan are condemning hearings being held by state lawmakers into claims of voter fraud in the Detroit area.

The Senate Oversight Committee spent most of December 1st listening to Republican poll watchers and others who said they witnessed irregularities in the ballot-counting process on Election Day in Detroit.

But Lonnie Scott, executive director of the group Progress Michigan, said he thinks the hearing only served to bolster conspiracy theories and doubt.

"No one has actually spoke to anything that has any proof of fraud or anything credible," said Scott. "It's all been a lot of hurt feelings and calls for essentially invalidating Detroit's vote."

Some testified that poll workers didn't correctly verify ballots against qualified voter files, while others argued the chain of custody of ballots was compromised.

Michigan certified its election results, showing President-elect Joe Biden won the state, but President Donald Trump and his supporters have pledged to continue efforts to undermine the results.

Some Democratic senators argued the claims are baseless, and Sen. Peter Lucido - R-Shelby Township - said any evidence of election fraud should be submitted to the Attorney General's office.

"We're elected officials," said Lucido. "But we don't wear robes and we don't make decisions on what is going on here. But we will listen to it for policy purposes, to ensure the sanctity and security of the voting system."

With the second wave of COVID-19 sweeping through the state, Scott contended state lawmakers should instead be focusing on policies that address food and housing insecurity.

"The Republicans are hearing more from conspiracy theorists about election fraud - that has been debunked or dismissed as nonexistent evidence," said Scott, "instead of taking action on help for folks during the COVID-19 crisis."

On December 2nd, President Donald Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani testified about election irregularities before a Michigan House legislative committee.

According to state officials, Presidentelect Joe Biden secured upwards of 154,000 more votes than Trump.

Pero Lonnie Scott, director ejecutivo del grupo Progress Michigan, dijo que cree que la audiencia solo sirvió para reforzar las teorías de la conspiración y las dudas.

"Nadie ha hablado de nada que tenga alguna prueba de fraude o algo creíble", dijo Scott.

"Todo ha sido un montón de sentimientos heridos y llamadas para invalidar esencialmente el voto de Detroit".

Algunos testificaron que los trabajadores electorales no verificaron correctamente las boletas con los archivos de votantes calificados, mientras que otros argumentaron que la cadena de custodia de las boletas estaba comprometida.

Michigan certificó sus resultados electorales, mostrando que el presidente electo Joe Biden ganó el estado, pero el presidente Donald Trump y sus partidarios se han comprometido a continuar los esfuerzos para socavar los resultados.

Algunos senadores demócratas argumentaron que las afirmaciones son infundadas, y el senador Peter Lucido, republicano por Shelby Township, dijo que cualquier evidencia de fraude electoral debe enviarse a la oficina del Fiscal General.

"Somos funcionarios electos", dijo Lucido.

"Pero no usamos túnicas y no tomamos decisiones sobre lo que está sucediendo aquí.

Pero lo escucharemos con fines políticos, para garantizar la santidad y seguridad del sistema de votación".

Con la segunda ola de COVID-19 arrasando en el estado, Scott sostuvo que los legisladores estatales deberían enfocarse en políticas que aborden la inseguridad alimentaria y de vivienda.

"Los republicanos están escuchando más de los teóricos de la conspiración sobre el fraude electoral, que ha sido desacreditado o descartado como evidencia inexistente", dijo Scott, "en lugar de tomar medidas para ayudar a la gente durante la crisis de COVID-19".

El 2 de diciembre, el abogado del presidente Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, testificó sobre irregularidades electorales ante un comité legislativo de la Cámara de Representantes de Michigan. Según funcionarios estatales, el presidente electo Joe Biden obtuvo más de 154.000 votos más que Trump.

Q&A: CAST OF “SELENA: THE SERIES”

Cast of New Netflix Show Hope to Add to Tejano Singer’s Iconic Legacy

S

Arturo Hilario El Observador

inger and Queen of Tejano music Selena Quintanilla continues to be a prevalent source of inspiration for fans and entertainers worldwide 25 years after her passing.

Her talent, humor and music were unmatched, and although people know her from her recording catalogue, archived videos and the dramatization of her life through Jennifer Lopez’s starmaking role in 1997’s “Selena: The Movie”, not much media is out there about the time before she made it big, nor the intricacies of her family life.

Netflix’s new show “Selena: The Series” hopes to tell her overall story while filing it with another side of Selena and her life, one that only those closest to the Quintanilla family ever got to know.

The series is Executive Produced by Selena’s real sister, Suzette Quintanilla.

Starring Christian Serratos as Selena, Gabriel Chavarria as A.B., Ricardo Chavira as Abraham Jr., Noemí Gonzalez as Suzette and Seidy López as Marcella, the show is focused on the innerworkings of the family and their journey as a team with the ultimate goal of breaking into the English market with Selena’s music and becoming the most successful female Latin artist of all time.

Part 1 of the series is out December 4, with another part coming at a later date. Recently we had the opportunity to interview most of the actors that make up the Quintanilla clan, which includes Gabriel Chavarria, Ricardo Chavira,

Noemí Gonzalez and Seidy López. The following is there various experiences working on the show and their approaches to playing their respective characters.

Hello guys, thanks so much for the time. To start off, in “Selena: The Series” basically all the family members are fleshed out through the episodes. I was wondering what it was like to interpret Marcela and Suzette and how you managed flesh those characters out, essentially. Did you happen to work with the family?

Seidy López So unfortunately, I didn't get to work with Marcella directly before I started production. But what I did is I found a video that was extremely helpful to me and that was a Mother's Day special. And they asked Selena to describe what her mother meant to her. And after she answered, they asked her mother what it meant to be a mom.

And the way that Marcella answered that question and all of the beautiful emotion that she gave and just the way she answered it said so much to me. And watching that, I was like, that's what I needed. That that is Marcella. That is the core of Marcella: loving mother, inner strength, caring, nurturing, supportive. And so, I went with that and I watched that video so many times, you know, and I was just like taking it all in all of those levels that she gave me in that answer and I built from that.

So that was my foundation. And from that, I built on it. And also, Suzette was very generous, and

she gave us some audio where she described events in the family, where she described her relationship with her mom and her dad and other things. Between those two things, they were golden.

things that have happened.

You get to see her from when she was a little girl and you get to see the journey that they all took in the journey that she took to become, you know, the Selena that we know. And I think that that's going to be fun for the fans and for the audience, to kind of get to peek in and see all of these private moments through our series. So, I'm very excited about that.

Those were the two things that helped me just kind of navigate and develop Marcella. Most importantly was once I committed to that, I said, OK, now I have to dig in and give it my heart. And that's what I could do, just lead with that. And that's how I developed my character.

How do you feel that this show will add to the legacy of Selena?

Noemí González I developed my character, the way Seidy just had the one video, I knew that I had Suzette post grief, so I had to use [videos] as the second half of my setup. Where was she before this? And also, all the performance clips that I could find. I also listened to the tapes that Suzette so generously provided. And not only was I listening, I had to listen to them more than once, of course, because one time I was listening just to get her sound, and then another time I was listening to really feel the essence of those memories and of those stories and how they were going to be interpreted in the series.

So that was really, really cool to get to do that.

And then I think a very strong element was learning the drums. My experience and learning the drums really was demanding. So, whatever I experience, I imagined, "how did little Suzette experience this next to her very talented, musically enthusiastic siblings." It really helped me shape the character.

How would you describe your interpretations of A.B. and Abraham Quintanilla in the show?

Gabriel Chavarria For me, I think, A.B. [is] a very, very honest portrayal, I mean, that's the way I approach it. You know, A.B. cared about his family. He cared about his family just as much as Selena and every member of the Quintanilla family did. They really loved each other, they really cared for each other, and they're a family that's working together, you know, and that's very unique. You don't really have that so much. So, they understood what they wanted to do, they knew what their goals were, they knew what they wanted to do, they knew how they wanted to do it.

And ultimately, they did that because they were always there for each other. They made sure to stick with each other, especially during the toughest times. And you'll be able to see that in the show.

Ricardo Antonio Chavira Well, you know, I'm from South Texas, you know, I am Mexican-American. Abraham is of a certain age and of a certain generation, my father is close to him in age and of that exact same generation. So, you know, I had as well as a lot of my tios, so I had a very deep well of information to draw from.

I also am a father, I have I have a teenage boy and a girl and I would consider myself probably an old school style parent, you know, maybe a little bit stricter than most. So, there was a lot of information, a lot of things that I was reading in the script that were already readily accessible to me. But I wanted to make sure and do my due diligence.

And so I studied a lot of Abraham's interviews so that I could understand, hear his cadence in the way he talked and his demeanor and the way he held himself during these public interviews and then just used my background as a MexicanAmerican man and the Mexican-American men in my life to inform me how to go about making decisions when we were interpreting these scenes as a family.

What do you think people will be surprised to

Noemí I think people are going to be surprised to see Selena not in her signature look yet. It takes time to get to a signature look, you know, and so they're going to see her during the coming of age of that star.

That's going to be something that's going to be really fun and nostalgic to go back to the eighties and to see how Selena was with those times, and how the rest of the family also rocked themselves in those in those vibes. So older generation can really be like, "I remember wearing that and like, oh, Selena did this, A.B. did that, Marcella did that, oh, my goodness." So, I think that'll be a real fun element to seeing Selena's roots.

Seidy I think with Marcella, what they're going to get to see is just how involved she really was behind the scenes, how she participated in some of the decisions, in making sure that the kids were OK, in stepping in when they needed certain things.

And her and Abraham were kind of a team. They were they were partners. Yes, he was the leader and the front man and the person that took care of the business. But when it came to the home, you know, I think Marcella had a big say there.

And it's going to be nice for people to get to see that part of their relationship and also the relationship within the whole family. You know, just how close they really are and how they all participated in, and everything that they all gave to make this work and to support Selena into becoming who she became, you know.

Were there any challenges that you can speak on when other fleshing out the characters or during the shooting, any type of challenges like that you might remember?

Gabriel I think for me was definitely learning how to play the bass. I never played an instrument, so that was definitely was one of the challenges, I would say. But, you know, once you started picking it up, you know, it was started to become really, really fun to play. And I really like the instrument. I have my own bass now, so and it was fun, you know, it was fun. And I got to say, A.B. was really good, man.

It's you know, he's writing these hit songs. He's playing the bass. He's up there dancing with Selena, he was an amazing, amazing performer just as much as the rest of Selena and Los Dinos were.

Ricardo You know, we started this back in October of 2019, and we, you know, we were working for those few months and then we took our holiday break and then we came back and started working and we were really hitting our stride.

And I thought we were getting a lot of great stuff with the concert performances, a lot of the intimate, intimate scenes that we were doing with the family dynamic. I think everybody was really clicking on all cylinders. And then we got hit with COVID, you know, and all of a sudden, we got to slam on the brakes and completely halt production for five and a half months. So, I would say that was that was pretty damn challenging.

You know, when it's like you're rolling as a production and as the actors and we're cooking and really the feeling these characters, and then we have to take this huge break, and then come back and try and find "it". I'm not saying that it took a little bit of time, I think everybody came back and was ready to work and was happy to be back working. But, you know, it created its own set of complications with the protocols and stuff.

So it was a very there were a lot of things that were going on in the world as we were shooting this production that I think frames it in such a way that it's a production that none of us will ever forget.

How do you think that Selena the Series contributes to the legacy of Selena?

Noemí It contributes to the legacy of Selena immensely.

Number one, it's been about roughly 20 years since we've had a presentation of Selena to the public in this manner. Not only is it a whole new generation that gets to meet her, but also with the help of Netflix having such accessibility globally, more people are going to see all over the world, not only that bicultural experience, Mexican-American experience, family in these times, but Selena, Selena, Selena. Selena's music and her legacy.

So, it's definitely a huge, huge factor that the series is definitely continuing her legacy. And I'm very thankful for how giving this family has been over the years to contribute to that, especially Suzette Quintanilla with being an executive producer of this. I got to give so much love to how generous they are with making that contribution to the world.

Seidy I think it's special. I think it's wonderful that they're willing to share a lot of their personal stories, things, that they went through as a family and

You know, I think, look, you know, like I said, I grew up in South Texas, so she and I were born the same year when I was graduating high school, she was graduating high school. I was reading and seeing on our local newscasts all the concerts that she was giving and the successes that she was having and the award she was winning.

So, for me, I was like, oh, well, I know this story. I know a lot about it. But in reading these scripts, you know, there's so many things that I learned specifically as it pertains to the family and the family dynamic. You know, and I'm sure I know that some of this stuff is fictionalized to a certain degree.

But there's a lot of truth in what we're bringing to the table with these episodes and with the series. And a lot of it was very new to me. And there was a lot of things that when I read, I was just moved because I immediately identified with some of these very humble beginnings, you know, in the sacrifices and the struggles that they had. So, I think that's something that we're bringing new that will allow her legacy to live on through our series as well.

Gabriel Yeah, I think it's going to impact definitely the newer generation, you know, because for those that you know, everyone knows Selena the icon, they know the legend. But now they're going to really get to know Selena Quintanilla the person, you know, they're going to see her grow. And ultimately also the family, of course, you'll see in the show that that there is no Selena without her family members, without her father, without her brother, without her sister, without her mother.

So, I think that, you know, Selena's legacy is going to reach places even further.

It's a great show. It's about family. And I think a lot of people who don't even know Selena will still enjoy the show and relate a lot to what the show has to offer.

Looking back at your experience, what do you hope that viewers take away from “Selena: The Series” and your work within the show?

Ricardo For me, just, you know, the importance of family, I think that that's something that we have really captured with this series, with the writing, you know, and just a really intimate portrayal and an in-depth look at who the Quintanillas were and how much that the work of the entire family built their success, the foundation for their success, and catapulted Selena into the legendary status that she now holds.

Gabriel I would say exactly what Ricardo was saying, like, I think that that's what I want the audience to take away, you know, that this show is about family and you'll see that you'll definitely see that and every single member of this family was important. I think the audience will appreciate how much passion that each individual put into the success of the Quintanilla family and Selena's success. So, I think that's what they're going to resonate with for sure.

Part 1 of “Selena: The Series” premieres on Netflix December 4, 2020.

assengers on the Thai Airways "flight to nowhere", which takes off and lands at Bangkok's main airport, flew over almost a hundred sacred sites in Thailand on Monday in a bid to improve their karma and spiritual strength.

Thai Airways se está reestructurando después de declararse en quiebra en mayo debido a los efectos de la pandemia, además de años de pérdidas millonarias.

Unos 6.000 empleados, o el 30% de los 20.000 trabajadores de la aerolínea, han sido despedidos como resultado de la pandemia, mientras que el resto ha visto reducidos sus salarios.

Flight TG8999 flew for about three hours over 99 sacred sites, including numerous Buddhist temples in some 30 cities across the country with tickets costing between $200 and $330.

The Thai company is not the only airline trying new things amid the pandemic.

The number 9, which is repeatedly associated with this flight, is considered lucky in Thailand.

Japan's ANA began offering flights to nowhere last August on a Hawaiian-themed Airbus A380, while planes from Taiwan's StarLux Airlines fly over the South China Sea for about three hours without landing.

Thai Airways is restructuring after filing for bankruptcy in May due to the effects of the pandemic, on top of years of losses in the millions.

In Brunei, the Royal Brunei Airlines offers tickets to fly over the rainforests of this small nation in Southeast Asia for 85 minutes.

Some 6,000 employees, or 30% of the airline's 20,000 workers, have been dismissed as a result of the pandemic, while the rest have seen their salaries reduced.

Con vuelos internacionales limitados por el virus, la aerolínea ha buscado estrategias para incrementar sus ingresos, como abrir un restaurante con menús de comidas a bordo y simuladores de vuelo.

La compañía tailandesa no es la única aerolínea que intenta cosas nuevas en medio de la pandemia.

ANA de Japón comenzó a ofrecer vuelos a ninguna parte en agosto pasado en un Airbus A380 de temática hawaiana, mientras que los aviones de StarLux Airlines de Taiwán sobrevuelan el Mar de China Meridional durante aproximadamente tres horas sin aterrizar.

PREPÁRESE PARA UNA INTERRUPCIÓN DEL SUMINISTRO ELÉCTRICO POR MOTIVOS DE SEGURIDAD PÚBLICA Una Interrupción del Suministro Eléctrico por Motivos de Seguridad Pública (PSPS por sus siglas en inglés) es un esfuerzo a nivel estatal para prevenir incendios forestales desconectando proactivamente la energía en las comunidades cuando se pronostican vientos fuertes y condiciones climáticas secas.

Aunque desconectar la energía ayuda a prevenir incendios forestales, también sabemos que afectará vidas y provocará dificultades para nuestros clientes. Es por esto que PG&E no se toma esta decisión a la ligera y sólo pedirá la interrupción para mantener seguros a nuestros clientes y a nuestras comunidades.

AQUÍ HAY 5 FORMAS DE PREPARARSE PARA UNA INTERRUPCIÓN: PSPS Updates

Asegúrese de que PG&E pueda comunicarse con usted antes de un PSPS actualizando su información de contacto pge.com/ mywildfirealerts.

1

Empaque o reponga el botiquín de emergencia de su familia e incluya alimentos, agua, baterías, máscaras, radio y un botiquín de primeros auxilios.

2

Haga preparativos para las personas de su familia que dependan de la electricidad por necesidades médicas.

3

Practique abrir la puerta de su garaje manualmente (si tiene un garaje).

4

Asegúrese de que las fuentes de energía de reserva estén listas y sean seguras de operar.

MISTERIO DE ANUNNAKIS Y REPTILIANOS

ucho se habla y comenta hoy en día de seres no humanos que conviven entre nosotros, seres reptilianos de aspecto humanoide, capaces de desintegrarse y de adoptar otras formas y fisionomías diferentes. Éste es un tema muy antiguo que puede trazarse desde aquella región entre el Río Tigris y el Río Éufrates, en la antigua Sumeria.

En el “Enuma Elish”, tablillas de escritura cuneiforme, se encuentran relatos de seres no humanos que llegaron de las estrellas a nuestro planeta. Estas tablillas sumerias estuvieron resguardadas en la Biblioteca de Nínive y luego fueron trasladadas al Museo Británico. Dichas tablillas tienen más de cinco mil años de antigüedad. En sus relatos se habla de seres que llegaron del espacio, dioses con aspecto reptiloide. Se habla del dios Anu y de sus dos hijos, Enki y Enlil. Y aquí fue en donde dio inicio el mito sumerio de la creación.

“Los Anunnakis" llegaron a nuestro planeta a extraer oro y otros minerales, para ello precisaban de mano de obra; pero al llegar a la Tierra hace más de 445 mil años, lo que encontraron fue al hombre de Neandertal, <homo neanderthalensis> Ser primitivo carente de inteligencia. Por lo cual hicieron un experimento, mezclando genética reptiliana con la genética de aquel hombre cavernario. El resultado de dicho experimento no fue exitoso, de aquí nació un ser al que llamaron "Adamo".

Entonces decidieron mezclar genética reptiliana con la genética de Adamo, y crearon al primer hombre inteligente y evolucionado al que llamaron "Adapa". Este hecho adelantó la evolución del ser humano. Según estos relatos, somos producto de un experimento genético.

Uno de los precursores modernos de esta teoría, es el autor Zecharia Sitchin, originario de Azerbaiján. Él tradujo los antiguos escritos sumerios y escribió una serie de siete libros titulados “Crónicas de la Tierra”, “The Earth Chronicles". El primero de estos libros fue publicado en el año 1976. Desde ese entonces hasta la actualidad, se vienen haciendo mención de los reptilianos y de su existencia.

Este mito parece repetirse en todas las culturas antiguas, pues muchas de ellas relatan la llegada de seres con apariencia reptil al plane-

ta Tierra. En Europa y Asia, se han encontrado misteriosas estatuillas de seres humanoides con cabeza de reptil. Los dragones por ejemplo, son una alegoría de seres reptilianos y existen en todas las civilizaciones antiguas. En Mesoamérica se tiene el mito de Quetzalcoatl, la serpiente emplumada, que es un reptil. En los escritos sumerios, se relata que los Anunnakis provienen del planeta Nibiru o planeta X, el cual cada 3600 años transita en una orbita cercana a nuestro planeta. De Nibiru también se dice que pronto podría aparecer en el horizonte del sistema solar.

Existen teorías que afirman que las grandes potencias mundiales poseen tecnología extraterrestre proporcionada por los seres reptilianos. En la Biblia se habla de ángeles caídos que procrearon gigantes con las mujeres terrestres; también se hace mención de la serpiente, que en realidad podría tratarse de un ser reptiliano

Gracias por confiar en el transporte público. #WeGotYou

Algunos historiadores consideran a los reptilianos, como dinosaurios evolucionados; otros creen que son seres de otros planetas, quienes poseen una de las tecnologías más avanzadas del universo. En el año 2014 aparecieron en el cielo unos platillos voladores en Valparaíso, Chile. Después de estos avistamientos, algunas personas dijeron haber visto en las cercanías del lugar, a seres humanoides con apariencia de reptil.

Incluso hay personas que afirman haber estado en presencia de estos seres. ¿Qué será lo que buscan en nuestro mundo? ¿Será cierto que la humanidad en general forma parte de un experimento de hace cientos de miles de años? ¿Por qué existen cráneos con una dimensión descomunal entre los vestigios arqueológicos? ¿Por qué los antiguos monarcas y sumos sacerdotes de civilizaciones antiguas, deformaban sus cráneos para parecerse a sus dioses de apariencia reptil?

Hace algunos años en Ica, Perú; se descubrieron unas piedras que tienen dibujos de seres increíbles, seres con cuerpo de lagarto y cabeza humana. Puede ser que estos seres sí existieron en realidad, es probable que estén cerca de nosotros o tal vez, sólo se trata de leyendas que han sobrevivido con el paso de los milenios. Quizá muy pronto encontremos respuestas a estas interrogantes, y dichos seres míticos, finalmente muestren su existencia, verdadero origen y presencia en nuestro planeta.
