l capitán del Departamento de Policía de Kansas City (Missouri) (KCPD) Luis Ortiz recuerda que cuando tenía 7 años le dijo a sus padres que iba a ser oficial de policía cuando fuera mayor.

En ese entonces, El Salvador natal de Ortiz atravesaba una guerra civil. Ver lo que estaba sucediendo despertó el deseo en Ortiz de ayudar a otros, dijo.

“Quería que la gente tuviera a alguien en quien confiar”, dijo Ortiz.

Cuando era adolescente, su familia se mudó a Miami. Allí, terminó la escuela secundaria y estudió en la universidad, donde obtuvo su título de asociado en ciencias de la computación de Miami Dade College.

ansas City (Missouri) Police Department (KCPD) Capt. Luis Ortiz remembers K being 7 years old and telling his parents he was

going to be a police officer when he was older.

At that time, Ortiz’s native El Salvador was going through a civil war. Seeing what was going on sparked a desire in Ortiz to help others, he said.

“I wanted people to have someone to rely on,” Ortiz said.

When Ortiz was a teen, his family settled in Miami. There, he finished high school and put himself through college, where he got his associate’s degree in computer science from Miami Dade College.

At the time, Ortiz also was applying to police departments across the nation. Kansas City was among them.

sido seleccionada entre las otras 73 mujeres increíbles con las que estuve esta noche”, dijo Meza en un comunicado de prensa de la Organización Miss Universo. “Es un sueño hecho realidad llevar la corona del Miss Universo, y espero servir al mundo a través de mi defensa de la igualdad en el próximo año y más allá”.

Meza venció a otras 73 mujeres, incluida Miss Brasil Julia Gama, la subcampeona; y Miss Perú Janick Maceta Del Castillo, la segunda finalista.

Meza, oriunda de la ciudad de Chihuahua, es modelo y maquilladora con una licenciatura en ingeniería de software, según el comunicado de prensa.

También es una activista que trabaja en estrecha colaboración con el Instituto Municipal de la Mujer, una organización que tiene como objetivo acabar con la violencia de género.

Meza le dio a México su tercera corona de Miss Universo en la historia. Sus victorias anteriores fueron en 1991 y 2010.

“MÉXICO ESTO ES PARA TI”, escribió en una publicación de Instagram.

Capt. Luis Ortiz Continued from Page 1A

En ese momento, Ortiz también estaba aplicando a los departamentos de policía de todo el país. Kansas City estaba entre ellos. “(Había) escuchado cosas buenas sobre el departamento de policía de Kansas City”, dijo. “Tenían una gran reputación a nivel nacional”.

En 1999, Ortiz se mudó a Kansas City y fue aceptado en las fuerzas policiales en diciembre de ese año. Ha trabajado en el departamento desde entonces, convirtiéndose en capitán de las Unidades de Robos y Detención de Fugitivos de KCPD. Después de haber trabajado en las áreas del lado oeste y noreste de la ciudad, Ortiz ha estado en estrecho contacto con la comunidad hispana.

“Quería ser un ejemplo para esos niños, para aquellos que se estaban metiendo en problemas, para que pudieran ver que esa no es una forma de vida”, dijo.

Ortiz también quería que todos sintieran que el departamento se preocupa por todos los residentes de la ciudad, independientemente de su estatus migratorio.

“No importa si estás aquí legal o ilegalmente”, dijo.

“Lo que queremos es justicia”.

Mientras trabajaba como oficial de policía, Ortiz regresó a la escuela y obtuvo una licenciatura en justicia penal y una maestría en administración de empresas. Casado y padre de tres hijos, agradece a Dios por la vida que ha podido llevar.

“Sin la ayuda de mi Señor Jesucristo, nada de esto hubiera sido posible porque él es quien me guió (aquí)”, dijo Ortiz.

También dijo que se siente más cerca de Dios hoy más que nunca, pero que es un trabajo en progreso.

“La vida a veces te da altibajos donde tienes las opciones de acercarte a Dios o alejarte de él”, dijo.

“Y en mi caso, me acerqué”.

“I am so honored to have been selected among the 73 other amazing women I stood with tonight,” Meza said in a news release from the Miss Universe Organization. “It is a dream come true to wear the Miss Universe crown, and I hope to serve the world through my advocacy for equality in the year to come and beyond.”

Meza beat out 73 other women, including Miss Brazil Julia Gama, the runner-up; and Miss Peru Janick Maceta Del Castillo, the second runner-up.

A Chihuahua City native, Meza is a model and makeup artist with a degree in software engineering, according to the news release. She also is an activist who works closely with the Municipal Institute for Women, an organization aiming to end gender-based violence.

Meza gave Mexico its third Miss Universe crown in history. Its previous wins were in 1991 and 2010.

“MÉXICO ESTO ES PARA TI,” she wrote on an Instagram post. Translated, it reads: “Mexico this is for you.” the police department in Kansas City,” he said.

“They had a great reputation nationally.”

In 1999, Ortiz settled in Kansas City and was accepted in December of that year. He has served with the department since then, becoming captain of KCPD’s Robbery Unit and Fugitive Apprehension Unit.

Having worked in the city’s Westside and Northeast areas, Ortiz has been in close contact with the Hispanic community.

“I wanted to be an example for those kids, for those who were getting in trouble, so they can see that that’s not a way of life,” he said.

Ortiz also wanted everyone to feel that the department cares for all residents of the city, regardless of immigration status.

“It doesn’t matter whether you’re here legally or illegally,” he said. “What we want is justice.”

While working as a police officer, Ortiz returned to school and earned a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a master’s degree in business administration. Married and a father of three, he thanks God for the life he has been able to lead.

“Without the help of my Lord, Jesus Christ, none of these would have been possible because he is the one that guided me (here),” Ortiz said.

Ortiz said he feels closer to God today than ever, but that it is a work in progress.

“Life sometimes takes you … (on) ups and downs where you have the options to either get closer to God or get away from it,” he said.

“And in my case, I got closer.”

Honoring our law enforcement officers

Homenajeando a nuestros oficiales de la ley

020 fue el año más 020 was the deadliest year forAmerica’s law mortífero para los agentes 2 2 enforcement officers since 1974. According de la ley de Estados Unidos desde 1974. Según un to a report released in January by the National informe publicado en enero por el Fondo Nacional en Memoria de los Oficiales de las Fuerzas del Orden, 295 agentes de la ley locales, estatales, federales, militares y tribales en Estados Unidos murieron en la línea de deber el año pasado.

Sus nombres han sido grabados en la cara del monumento de piedra a los oficiales caídos en el Museo y Memorial Nacional de las Fuerzas del Orden en Washington, DC. Cada año durante la Semana de la Policía Nacional, este año, del 9 al 15 de mayo, se agregan los nombres de los oficiales caídos del año anterior.

El monumento incluye dos paredes de mármol

Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 295 local, state, federal, military and tribal law enforcement officers in the U.S. died in the line of duty last year.

Their names have been etched into the face of the stone monument to fallen officers at the National Law Enforcement Museum and Memorial in Washington, D.C. Every year during National Police Week – this year, May 9-15 -- the names of the previous year’s fallen officers are added.

The memorial includes two 304-foot-long

de 304 pies de largo inscritas con los nombres de 20,267 agentes de la ley estadounidenses muertos en el cumplimiento del deber desde la primera muerte conocida en el cumplimiento del deber en 1786; una piscina reflectante; y dos estatuas de bronce de leones adultos y dos cachorros.

El Museo Nacional de las Fuerzas del Orden se inauguró en 2018 para homenajear a los oficiales caídos, contar la historia de las fuerzas del orden estadounidense e involucrar a los visitantes a través de exhibiciones inmersivas y experimentales. Su colección incluye más de 21,000 artefactos de todas las épocas de las fuerzas del orden estadounidense.

Por segundo año consecutivo, la pandemia obligó a eventos virtuales en el museo en conmemoración de la Semana de la Policía Nacional. Sin embargo, el museo está planeando eventos en persona del 13 al 17 de octubre “para ofrecer el mismo respeto, honor, recuerdo y apoyo comunitario que la Semana de la Policía Nacional”.

Estados Unidos ha observado la Semana de la Policía Nacional desde 1962, cuando el entonces presidente John Kennedy emitió la Proclamación 3466: Semana de la Policía y Día Conmemorativo de los Oficiales de la Paz. Hizo un llamado a los estadounidenses para que observen el Día Conmemorativo de los Oficiales de la Paz en honor a aquellos oficiales de paz que, a través de sus valientes acciones, perdieron la vida o quedaron discapacitados en el desempeño de su deber.

Los agentes del orden arriesgan sus vidas cada vez que se presentan al servicio. Durante la pandemia, estuvieron en primera línea sirviendo y protegiendo, y en el proceso, exponiéndose al mortal coronavirus, que se cobró la vida de 182 agentes del orden.

Debido a la mala conducta a veces mortal en los últimos tiempos de un puñado de agentes del orden en enfrentamientos separados en varios lugares, ha habido campañas para demonizar y abolir a la policía. Es fácil perder la perspectiva cuando se consideran circunstancias altamente emocionales, que representan las confrontaciones violentas, pero es esencial mantener la perspectiva para comprender lo que realmente importa y resolver los problemas de manera efectiva.

Los agentes del orden son falibles; como todos los humanos, cometen errores; también lo hacen las personas en todas las demás áreas de trabajo.

No abolimos la educación formal por unos pocos maestros malos, o la atención médica por unos pocos médicos malos o salas de audiencias por unos pocos abogados malos.

“Nadie odia a los malos policías más que los buenos”, escribió el veterano agente de la ley, Bob Angone. Los malos policías que cruzan la línea deshonran a la abrumadora mayoría que se toma en serio su juramento de servir y proteger, dijo. Señaló a dos policías a los que dispararon la semana pasada mientras corrían hacia los disparos y especuló “dónde estaría la sociedad si no tuviéramos a todos esos buenos policías corriendo hacia los disparos”.

Los agentes del orden representan la autoridad civil del gobierno: nuestro gobierno de, para y por nosotros, el pueblo. Eso es lo que queremos pasar a nuestros niños para que le muestren a la policía el respeto que imponen como representantes de la autoridad civil de nuestro gobierno.

marble walls inscribed with the names of 20,267 American law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty since the first known line-of-duty death in 1786; a reflecting pool; and two bronze adult lion statues and two cubs.

The National Law Enforcement Museum opened in 2018 to honor fallen officers, tell the story of American law enforcement and engage visitors via immersive and experiential exhibits.

Its collection includes 21,000-plus artifacts from every era of American law enforcement.

For the second consecutive year, the pandemic forced virtual events at the museum commemorating National Police Week. However, the museum is planning in-person events Oct. 13-17 “to offer the same respect, honor, remembrance and community support as National Police Week.”

America has observed National Police Week since 1962 when then-President John Kennedy issued Proclamation 3466 – Police Week and Peace Officers Memorial Day. He called on Americans to observe Peace Officers Memorial Day in honor of those peace officers who, through their courageous deeds, lost their lives or became disabled in the performance of duty.

Law enforcement officers risk their lives every time they report for duty. During the pandemic, they were on the front line serving and protecting, and in the process, exposing themselves to the deadly coronavirus, which claimed the lives of 182 law enforcement officers.

Because of the sometimes deadly misconduct in recent times of a handful of law enforcement officers in separate confrontations in various places, there’ve been campaigns to demonize and abolish police. It’s easy to lose perspective when considering highly emotional circumstances, which violent confrontations represent, but it’s essential to keep perspective in order to understand what truly matters and problemsolve effectively.

Law enforcement officers are fallible; like all humans, they make mistakes; so do people in every other line of work. We don’t abolish formal education because of a few bad teachers, or health care because of a few bad doctors or courtrooms because of a few bad lawyers.

“No one hates bad cops more than good cops,” wrote veteran law enforcement officer, Bob Angone. Bad cops who cross the line disgrace the overwhelming majority who take seriously their oath to serve and protect, he said. He pointed to two police officers shot last week as they ran toward gunfire and speculated “where society would be if we didn’t have all those good cops running toward gunfire.”

Law enforcement officers represent the civil authority of government – our government of, for and by we, the people. That’s what we want to impress upon our kids so that they’ll show police the respect that they command as representatives of our government’s civil authority.

Nota bene: Nota bene: El Museo y Monumento Nacional de las Fuerzas The National Law Enforcement Museum and del Orden se cerró debido a la pandemia de Memorial was closed because of the coronavirus coronavirus. Está programado para reabrir el 27 pandemic. It’s scheduled to reopen Aug. 27. de agosto.

sta semana tuvimos la oportunidad de reafirmar que las representaciones de México en el Exterior, entre ellas el Consulado en Kansas City, son Zona Segura para todas las personas mexicanas, en ocasión del Día Internacional contra la Homofobia, Lesbofobia, Transfobia y Bifobia, el 17 de mayo.

Esa fecha conmemora la eliminación de la homosexualidad de la lista de enfermedades mentales por parte de la Organización Mundial

his week we had the opportunity to T reaffirm that Mexican representations abroad, including the Consulate in Kansas City, are a Safe Zone for all Mexican people, on the occasion of the International Day against Homophobia, Lesbophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia, celebrated on the 17th of May. That date commemorates the declassification of homosexuality as a mental illnesses by the World Health Organization, and aims to create

orientación o preferencia homosexual, o que son percibidas como tales; mientras que la transfobia afecta a quienes tienen identidades, expresiones y experiencias trans; y la bifobia, por su parte, se dirige a personas bisexuales o que parecen serlo.

La ley mexicana protege contra la discriminación y la política exterior de nuestro país promueve el objetivo de eliminarla por cualquier motivo, como parte de las labores de protección a personas mexicanas más allá de nuestras fronteras y en foros internacionales para crear alianzas con otros países, entre ellos Estados Unidos, para avanzar hacia el objetivo de no dejar a nadie atrás en materia de desarrollo social y sostenible.

or preference - or who are perceived as such.

Transphobia affects those who have trans identities, expressions and experiences. And biphobia is directed at bisexual or seemingly bisexual people.

Mexican law protects against discrimination, and Mexico’s foreign policy seeks to eliminate discrimination for any reason as part of the consular protection provided to Mexicans abroad, including the advancement of alliances in international fora with other countries -among them the United States- for leaving no one out of social and sustainable development.

Pasa la voz

Spread the word.

La estrategia Zona Segura es el compromiso orientado a la comunidad LGBTI+ para que asistan a realizar cualquier trámite consular y tengan la certeza de que recibirán atención amable y sin discriminación por parte nuestro personal.

Es también la invitación permanente a organizaciones y personas con representación dentro de esa comunidad a conocer las actividades culturales, de empoderamiento y de atención a la población mexicana, a fin de seguir construyendo alianzas y colaboración para promover y defender los derechos de mexicanas y mexicanos, sin importar su condición migratoria, identidad y preferencias afectivas y sexuales.

The Safe Zone strategy reassures the LGBTI + community that they will receive a welcoming and non-discriminatory attention from our staff when requesting consular services.

It is also the permanent invitation to organizations and people in leadership positions within that community to learn about the cultural activities, empowerment and resources for the Mexican population, so that through alliances and collaboration, the rights of Mexican men and women are promoted and defended, regardless of their immigration status, identity, and emotional and sexual preferences.

Drought emergency declared in most of California Se declara emergencia por sequía en California Gov. Gavin Newsom E California expanded a drought emergency on

By Roberta Pardo

l gobernador de California, Gavin Newsom, expandió una emergencia por sequía el 10 de mayo en la mayor parte del estado, cubriendo un vasto tramo de las regiones central y norte del estado mientras soporta su segunda gran sequía en menos de una década.

“Con la realidad del cambio climático muy clara en California, estamos tomando medidas urgentes para abordar la aguda escasez de suministro de agua en el norte y en el centro de California, al mismo tiempo que construimos nuestra capacidad de recuperación del agua para salvaguardar las comunidades en las próximas décadas”, dijo Newson en un comunicado, según CNN. Aproximadamente el 98% de California está experimentando condiciones de sequía, según el Monitor de Sequía de Estados Unidos, y casi el 75% del estado experimenta condiciones de sequía extrema.

La declaración de emergencia ordena a las agencias estatales que tomen medidas para aumentar la resistencia a la sequía, modificar las liberaciones de los embalses para conservar el agua y permitir transferencias de agua más flexibles entre los titulares de derechos.

Newson también dijo que su oficina está trabajando con funcionarios locales y otros socios para proteger la salud y seguridad públicas y el medio ambiente y pidió ayuda a los californianos.

El secretario de la Agencia de Recursos Naturales de California, Wade Crowfoot, también se unió a esta última solicitud.

“Es hora de que los californianos se unan una vez más para ahorrar agua”, dijo Crowfoot en un comunicado. “Todos necesitamos encontrar todas las oportunidades para ahorrar agua en las que podamos: limitar el riego al aire libre, tomar duchas más cortas, cerrar el agua mientras se cepilla los dientes o lava los platos. Los propietarios de viviendas, los municipios y los desviadores de agua pueden ayudar arreglando fugas y otros tipos de pérdidas de agua, que pueden representar más del 30% del uso de agua en algunas áreas”.

May 10 across most of the state, covering a vast stretch of the central and northern regions of the state as it endures its second major drought in less than a decade.

“With the reality of climate change abundantly clear in California, we’re taking urgent action to address acute water supply shortfalls in northern and central California while also building our water resilience to safeguard communities in the decades ahead,” Newson said in a statement, according to CNN. About 98% of California is experiencing drought conditions, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor, with nearly 75% of the state experiencing extreme drought conditions.

The emergency declaration directs state agencies to take action to increase drought resilience, modify reservoir releases to conserve water and allows for more flexible water transfers between rights holders.

Newson also said his office is working with local officials and other partners to protect public health and safety and the environment and called on Californians to help. California Natural Resources Agency Secretary Wade Crowfoot joined in this last request, too.

“It’s time for Californians to pull together once again to save water,” Crowfoot said in a statement. “All of us need to find every opportunity to save water where we can: limit outdoor watering, take shorter showers, turn off the water while brushing your teeth or washing dishes. Homeowners, municipalities and water diverters can help by addressing leaks and other types of water loss, which can account for over 30% of water use in some areas.”

La gran mentira

By Chara

By Jorge Ramos

(c) 2020 Jorge Ramos (Distributed by The New York Times Syndicate.)

a niña de 11 años vio el nombre del expresidente Donald Trump en la pantalla de mi computadora y se asustó.

L “¿Qué pasó con Trump?”, me preguntó preocupada, como si de

pronto se le hubiera aparecido un monstruo en una pesadilla.

“Nada”, le dije, “no te preocupes; él sigue encerrado en su casa de la Florida”. Y se fue, poco convencida de lo que le acababa de decir.Estos días lo he pensado mejor y creo que debí haberle dado otra respuesta. Sí hay que preocuparse por Trump.

Aunque recluido en Mar-a-Lago y sin redes sociales, debido a que Twitter y Facebook suspendieron sus cuentas, el expresidente sigue representando un peligro para la democracia de Estados Unidos. Ha impuesto sobre el Partido Republicano y sobre millones de personas que le creen una mentira que ataca uno de los mayores logros del sistema democrático estadounidense, la transición del poder y la confianza en sus elecciones.

La gran mentira es que Trump ganó las elecciones presidenciales de 2020 y que hubo un fraude masivo para poner a Joe Biden en la Casa Blanca. Pero no hay ninguna evidencia —ninguna, incluso reconocido por su propio fiscal general, William Barr— de que eso ocurrió. Los resultados oficiales indican que Biden ganó con 306 votos electorales frente a 232 de Trump. Incluso en el voto popular, Biden —con más de 81 millones de votos— superó ampliamente a Trump, quien consiguió más de 74 millones de votos.

Estos son los datos. No hay otros. Las declaraciones de fraude de Trump no tienen fundamento, pero parecen ser su modo de controlar al Partido Republicano y, quizás, su manera de tratar de regresar a la presidencia.

Quizás si el expresidente pregonara sólo la gran mentira, sería menos desafiante a la institucionalidad estadounidense.

Pero no es el caso: miembros del Partido Republicano se han doblegado para proteger los falsos argumentos de Trump y defender públicamente sus mentiras. Hoy, cualquier republicano que se atreva a cuestionar la visión trumpista de las elecciones corre el riesgo de perder su puesto en el partido.

Así le ocurrió a la representante republicana Liz Cheney.

Ella, hija de Dick Cheney —uno de los vicepresidentes más controversiales que ha tenido Estados Unidos y, en parte, uno de los responsables del inicio de la injustificada guerra en Irak en 2003—, fue una de las pocas republicanas que se negó a aceptar la gran mentira y ha sido firme en hacer un llamado a su partido y a los ciudadanos para que opten por la Constitución y no por una versión alternativa de la realidad.

Tras el asalto al Capitolio el 6 de enero, ella fue una de los diez republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes que votaron para destituir a Trump, quien poco antes había incitado a la multitud a marchar hasta la sede del Congreso. Trump no la iba a perdonar eso. Y se la acaba de cobrar: Cheney, quien era la tercera en la jerarquía del partido en la Cámara, fue destituida de su puesto de liderazgo el 12 de mayo.

Después de ser destituida y reemplazada por una representante partidaria de Trump, Cheney no se quedó callada.

“Hoy enfrentamos una amenaza que Estados Unidos no ha tenido antes”, dijo. “Un expresidente, que provocó un violento ataque al Capitolio para tratar de robarse la elección, ha continuado con su intento agresivo de convencer a los estadounidenses de que la contienda le fue robada. Está amenazando con incitar más violencia. Millones de estadounidenses han sido engañados por el expresidente. Han escuchado sólo sus palabras pero no escuchan la verdad, y mientras tanto continúa debilitando nuestro proceso democrático”. Sus colegas harían bien en escucharla.

Una de las cosas que siempre he admirado de Estados Unidos es su certeza democrática. Gana la presidencia quien tiene más votos electorales. Esas son las reglas. Y aún en una elección muy cerrada —como la del año 2000, entre George W. Bush y Al Gore— el perdedor reconoce su derrota y, al hacerlo, reafirma la validez del sistema.

Pero con Trump eso no ocurrió.

Ni reconoció su derrota ni felicitó al legítimo ganador. Y todo pudo haber quedado como el desbordado berrinche de un ególatra. El problema es que la gran mentira está devorando a uno de los dos partidos que rigen la vida política en el país.

Me ha tocado entrevistar a varios republicanos después de las elecciones de 2020 y cuando les preguntó sobre Trump y sus falsedades, parecen aterrorizados y evaden el tema. Hacen cualquier cosa con tal de no desatar la furia del expresidente.

Este silencio, o ese pánico ante Trump o la complicidad de integrantes de un partido que ha sido fundamental para la institucionalidad estadounidense, no debería seguir.

Ahora mismo millones de personas creen las mentiras de Trump. El 55 por ciento de los republicanos, según una encuesta de Reuters/Ipsos, cree que hubo un fraude en las pasadas elecciones presidenciales. El verdadero robo es a la confianza a la democracia de la nación.

Quizás ayude a entender la importancia de esa confianza si ven otros ejemplos menos afortunados. Crecí en México, un país donde los resultados de las elecciones no importaban. Hasta antes del año 2000, el Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) controlaba las elecciones e imponía a dedo al próximo presidente. Como muchos mexicanos, aprendí a no confiar en los resultados de las votaciones y aún arrastramos con fantasmas de fraudes. Por eso he admirado tanto la manera en que se realizan las contiendas electorales en Estados Unidos.

Nada de eso ha cambiado. Estados Unidos tiene un sólido sistema para realizar elecciones y para contar los votos.

(Aunque yo preferiría descartar el sistema de votos electorales por uno que le dé la presidencia al ganador del voto popular).

Pero Trump insiste en crear dudas en el sistema.

No hay nada más triste y vergonzoso que los miembros de un partido sigan siendo amplificadores de esa gran mentira. Al hacerlo, ponen en riesgo lo que hace que su nación sea grande.

Missouri ending federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits Missouri pone fin a los beneficios federales de desempleo relacionados con la pandemia By Roberta Pardo

amplia gama de protocolos para manejar la nueva normalidad para proveedores tan diversos como aerolíneas, tiendas, hoteles y restaurantes. Los viajeros deben acostumbrarse a seguir esos protocolos. Sí planea, por ejemplo, visitar un restaurante durante su viaje, esté preparado para hacer una reserva, ya que la mayoría de los restaurantes siguen siendo limitados en el número de personas que pueden atender.

Si está completamente vacunado, podría pensar que no necesita cumplir con los protocolos. Sí, los viajeros completamente vacunados tienen menos probabilidades de contraer y transmitir COVID-19. Aún así, los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) de EE. UU. Recomiendan que los viajeros sigan las recomendaciones de los CDC para viajar de manera segura.

Las recomendaciones básicas de viaje de los CDC incluyen usar una máscara sobre la nariz y la boca, mantenerse a 6 pies de los demás, evitar las multitudes y lavarse las manos con frecuencia o al menos usar un desinfectante de manos.

Algunas agencias gubernamentales no están emitiendo recomendaciones; están emitiendo requisitos. La Administración de Seguridad del Transporte (TSA), por ejemplo, requiere que se usen máscaras en los aeropuertos y en los autobuses, trenes y vuelos comerciales.

ansas y Missouri están planeando cambios ansas and Missouri are planning changes en los programas de desempleo relacionados K K to pandemic-related unemployment con la pandemia. programs.

El 11 de mayo, el gobernador de Missouri, Mike Parson, anunció que Missouri dejará de participar en los seis programas federales de desempleo relacionados con la pandemia, a partir del 12 de junio, con la esperanza de hacer que las personas vuelvan a trabajar y abordar la escasez de mano de obra.

“De las conversaciones con los dueños de negocios en todo el estado, sabemos que están teniendo dificultades no debido al COVID-19 sino a la escasez de mano de obra resultante de estos excesivos programas federales de desempleo”, dijo Parson en un comunicado de prensa.

La terminación se aplica a la asistencia por desempleo pandémico, alivio de emergencia por desempleo para entidades gubernamentales y organizaciones sin fines de lucro, compensación federal por desempleo pandémico, compensación por desempleo de emergencia pandémica, reembolso del 100% de los costos de beneficios de compensación a corto plazo pagados según la ley estatal y compensación por desempleo de ingresos mixtos.

Missouri se une a Iowa, Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana y Carolina del Sur para recortar la ayuda federal por desempleo.

En respuesta, la gobernadora de Kansas, Laura Kelly, dijo el 12 de mayo que no tiene intención de poner fin a los programas federales de beneficios por desempleo relacionados con la pandemia en el estado antes de tiempo.

“Si bien la gobernadora supervisará de cerca esta situación durante los próximos meses, su enfoque principal sigue siendo continuar los esfuerzos récord de su administración para reclutar nuevos negocios y empleos en Kansas”, dijo la oficina de Kelly en un comunicado a KMBC-TV (Canal 9).

Kelly alentó a los habitantes de Kansas que busquen trabajo a visitar el sitio web de contratación de empleo del estado (https://www.kansasworks. com/) para obtener oportunidades laborales y asistencia.

On May 11, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced that Missouri will stop participating in all six federal pandemic-related unemployment programs, starting June 12, in hopes of pushing people back to work and addressing workforce shortages.

“From conversations with business owners across the state, we know that they are struggling not because of COVID-19 but because of labor shortages resulting from these excessive federal unemployment programs,” Parson said in a news release.

The termination applies to the pandemic unemployment assistance, emergency unemployment relief for government entities and nonprofit organizations, federal pandemic unemployment compensation, pandemic emergency unemployment compensation, 100% reimbursement of short-time compensation benefits costs paid under state law and mixedearner unemployment compensation.

Missouri joins Iowa, Arkansas, Mississippi, Montana and South Carolina in cutting federal unemployment aid.

In response, Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said May 12 that she has no intention of ending pandemic-related federal unemployment benefit programs in the state early.

“While the governor will monitor this situation closely over the coming months, her primary focus remains on continuing her administration’s record-setting efforts recruiting new businesses and jobs to Kansas,” Kelly’s office said in a statement to KMBC-TV (Channel 9).

Kelly encouraged Kansans seeking work to visit the state’s job recruitment website (https:// www.kansasworks.com/) for job opportunities and assistance.

Si te preguntas si debes usar una mascarilla durante tu viaje, la respuesta es simple: úsala, incluso si te causa algunas molestias.

Si viaja internacionalmente, debe investigar si deberá proporcionar una prueba (PCR) negativa o una cuarentena a su llegada. Tenga en cuenta que deberá hacerse la prueba para regresar a los Estados Unidos. Afortunadamente, la mayoría de los aeropuertos tienen centros de pruebas de PCR. No sólo es importante adaptarse a los nuevos protocolos / requisitos que debes seguir, sino también acostumbrarte a tomar iniciativas para protegerte. Al empacar, debe llevar gel antibacterial, jabón y un par de Cubrebocas de repuesto en su maleta.

Si viaja con otras personas en vehículos personales, como camionetas o camiones, trate de sentarse en la parte de atrás para mantener una distancia de quien esté al volante. Además, solicite al conductor que mantenga las ventanillas abiertas o desactive la recirculación del aire acondicionado.

Antes de viajar y durante el viaje, trate de mantenerse saludable, incluso si ha sido vacunado. Come sano, toma tus vitaminas y haz ejercicio. Mantener las defensas altas es fundamental para disfrutar al máximo de tu viaje.

Todos esperamos con ansias el momento en que ya no sea necesario usar cubre bocas o seguir otros protocolos/requisitos y que la pandemia de COVID-19 sea sólo un recuerdo. Afortunadamente, ese momento se acerca a medida que se vacuna a mas personas.

Pero hasta entonces, todos debemos acostumbrarnos a una nueva forma de viajar.

Ese es uno de los precios que debemos pagar si queremos movernos con seguridad en un mundo con COVID-19.

developed an extensive range of protocols to cover the new normal for providers as diverse as airlines, shops, hotels and restaurants. Travelers must get used to following those protocols. If you plan to, say, visit a restaurant during your trip, be prepared to make a reservation, as most restaurants remain limited in the number of people they can serve.

If you are fully vaccinated, you might think you do not need to comply with the protocols. Yes, fully vaccinated travelers are less likely to get and spread COVID-19. Still, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that travelers still follow the CDC’s recommendations for traveling safely.

The CDC’s basic traveling recommendations include wearing a mask over your nose and mouth, staying 6 feet from others, avoiding crowds and washing your hands often or at least using hand sanitizer.

Some government agencies are not issuing recommendations; they are issuing requirements. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA), for example, requires masks be worn at airports, and on buses, trains and commercial flights.

If you question whether you should wear a mask, even though the TSA re q u i re s i t , t h e answer is simple: use it, even if it causes some discomfort.

If you are traveling internationally, you should research if you will need to provide a negative polymerase chain reaction test (PCR) or quarantine upon arrival. Be aware that you will need to get tested to get back into the United States. Fortunately, most airports have PCR testing centers.

It is not only important to adapt to the new protocols/requirements you must follow, but to also get used to taking initiatives to protect yourself.

When packing, antibacterial gel, soap and a pair of spare face masks should be in your suitcase.

If you are traveling with others in personal vehicles, like vans or trucks, try to sit in the back to keep a distance from whoever is at the wheel.

Moreover, ask the driver to keep the windows open or deactivate the recirculation of air conditioning.

Before traveling and during the trip, try to stay healthy, even if you have been vaccinated.

Eat, take your vitamins and exercise. Keeping your defenses high is essential to enjoying your trip to the fullest.

We all look forward to the time when it will no longer be necessary to use face masks or follow other protocols/requirements and the COVID-19 pandemic will be a memory. Fortunately, that time gets closer as more people are vaccinated. But until then, we all must get used to a new way to travel.

That is one of the prices we must pay if we want to move around safely in a COVID-19 world.

Albert Pujols cambia de casa en Los Angeles Albert Pujols, dos veces ganador de la Serie Mundial con los St Louis Cardinals, es nuevo jugador de los Dodgers de Los Angeles.

El dominicano de 41 años llegó a un acuerdo con Los Angeles Angels para que lo dejaran ir por falta de oportunidades en el equipo de Anaheim y poder llegar a los Dodgers donde será suplente y jugador situacional.
