IMPEACHMENT NEEDS DEFIINITIION AND CLARIFICATION individual personal gain.

I

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

t was obvious to me during the Presidential Impeachment Trial that the term impeachment needed a more precise definition and clarification. When Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi initiated the impeachment process when she heard (as did I on the TV program covering this incident) President Trump say to the Ukrainian President that he wanted him to provide a favor by investigating former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, she held up the required Articles of Impeachment for 30 days (one month) just prior to the Christmas/New Year's 2019 Holidays. The Articles of Impeachment were two: 1) Obstruction of U.S. Congressional legislative process (via refusal to have members of the Executive's Office provide documents and pertinent information, and 2) Misuse of the Power and Authority of the U.S. President's Office for

The impacts of this impeachment process were several: Senators Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were both required to be present during the “Presidential Impeachment Trial where the U.S. Senate sits as the grand jury. This chamber is dominated and controlled by the Republican Party. Consequently, whatever the Democratic Party controlled, and dominated House of Representatives decides will be presented to the U.S. Senate and probably not result in any effective outcome. It was reasonable to project and assume that the Republican Senators, who controlled their majority in that Senatorial chamber, would not approve any recommendation to censure President Donald J. Trump some so far, the Republicans have supported their President. Consider that the State of Iowa was conducting its Election Caucus process at the same time as the Presidential Impeachment Trial. Democratic Party Presidential wannabees Sanders and Warren could not attend even though these two were front-runners along with former Vice

President Joe Biden. In the Iowa Caucus process both Sanders and Warren had to use surrogates to proselytize supporters.

The other Democratic Presidential wannabees were provided an opportunity to gain support. In the Iowa Caucus process some 10 or more Democratic Party Presidential wannabees were able to develop their supportive groups and fundraisers. In addition, billionaires Bloomberg and Steyer threw their hats into this election fray. Both spent hundreds of millions of dollars on TV promotions. It would behoove the Democratic Party leader to initiate some process which would winnow down to a single Democratic frontrunner who would be the single Trump adversary and opponent. The presence of 10 or more Democratic Party Presidential campaigners indicated to many how splintered that political party is at this time. That is the basis of why two billionaires, who could immediately fund very expensive TV advertisement campaigns, entered this process. This led to allegations that these two billionaires could purchase the presidency (if they prevailed and were elected

the next U.S. President).

It will take time to reduce the Democratic Party Presidential campaigners down to one or two contenders. In addition to the time burnt up during this winnowing process many expensive resources will be utilized. Meanwhile, the Trump 2020 Campaign group is collecting ample funding already estimated to exceed $100 million. The Democratic Party fundraisers will have a daunting task before them because it seems that presidential political campaigns have become very expensive. The only ones getting ahead are the mainstream TV networks used to broadcast any and all political advertisements. With the National Primary already scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, 2020 (only five weeks in the future), the time usually available to encourage a GOTV campaign (Get out the Vote) is very limited and almost non-existent. It is considerations such as these which result in some analysts projecting that Donald J. Trump will be able to be elected for a second 4-year term. Democratic strategists and fund-raisers now have their daunting challenge before them. One thing is certain: the

Hispanic registered voter will not support the re-election to a second term of Donald J. Trump. After all, is Trump not the Republican 2016 Presidential Candidate and campaigner who pejoratively stated that Mexicans were “rapists, criminals, and violent killers”; Trump also supports building that Wall despite the U.S. Congress not funding such a project. In addition, The Trump Administration has been less than competent when dealing with those refugees from the Americas who show up at the MexicanU.S.A. border entry points asking for 'asylum. In the past Asylum seekers could reside in American jurisdictions while awaiting the legal and administrative asylum process. Not so today. All are asked to continue residing in Mexico or Central America. Meanwhile, along the Canadian-U.S.A. border, northern Europeans and others can enter America almost at will and whenever. Is this not a double standard? Therefore, registered voters of color will not support election of Donald J. Trump to a second term. This is especially true for those registered voters of Mexican culture and heritage.

unque parezca lo contrario, no toda la vida pública en Washington está siendo absorbida por el “impeachment” o juicio político contra el presidente Donald Trump. Aunque éste es un proceso de consecuencias serias para la vida institucional de los Estados Unidos, no debemos perder de vista que existen muchos asuntos

Indudablemente la realización el primero de abril del Censo 2020 es una de las grandes asignaturas del año, no sólo por sus implicaciones prácticas para nuestra comunidad –especialmente la distribución de cientos de miles de millones de dólares de recursos federales para servicios públicos-- sino porque es un desafío que reflejará o no, la madurez de nuestra comunidad en temas de relevancia trascendental para la vida de la República. La meticulosidad con la cual se prepararon a lo largo de 3 años los mensajes de la campaña educativa y de acercamiento a las mi-

norías, incluida la comunidad hispana, es un testimonio que dentro y fuera del gobierno federal hay personas conscientes de la importancia y la consecuencia de ser contados apropiadamente. Durante ese periodo se realizaron encuestas y se organizaron grupos de enfoque para conocer en detalles las preocupaciones de las minorías hacia su posible participación en el Censo 2020. Ahora sabemos que la principal preocupación de la comunidad latina es que su información personal no sea compartida con otras agencias del gobierno federal. El temor se encuentra arraigado en el hecho de que la comunidad hispana es y ha sido víctima de creci-

entes expresiones hostiles de algunos miembros de la clase política, así como de crímenes de odio por quienes se sienten envalentonados para desplegar sus prejuicios y usar a nuestra comunidad como chivo expiatorio de los problemas del país. De allí que los mensajes de la campaña de acercamiento del Censo 2020 busquen un contacto no sólo a nivel emocional sino intelectual con la comunidad latina, para construir un puente creíble de confianza de que la información personal en el Censo no será compartida con ninguna agencia que no deba conocer los datos.

Es un dato importante porque esos grupos han estado por años acompañando a la comunidad en acciones colectivas para reclamar derechos y trato digno.

6 CONSEJOS PARA EVITAR EL GASTO EMOCIONAL

de comprar artículos grandes. Cuando realice compras importantes (por ejemplo, más de $ 500), tómese un tiempo entre decidir comprar y realizar la compra real. Priorice sus gastos clasificándolos en términos de costo y efecto. Por ejemplo, debe pagar su seguro de salud y seguro de automóvil antes de reservar unas vacaciones a corto plazo.

ecisions about spending money are often driven by emotions, even if what your heart is telling you goes against logic. Emotional financial choices may provide you with short-term happiness, but they are just as likely to result in long-term regret or debt. Here are six tips for making spending decisions, without allowing your emotions to take over.

• Haga una lista antes de comprar. Ya sea que compre alimentos, artículos para el hogar o regalos, crear una lista, y atenerse a ella, lo ayudará a evitar compras impulsivas y a ahorrar dinero.

• Get an accurate picture of what it costs to maintain your lifestyle and fund your goals. Knowing your fixed and variable expenses and being able to quantify your goals in terms of dollars and timeframes will help you understand what you can afford to spend in the near term. • Ask yourself if you want something or need something before you buy it. If you do need it, or if it will make a huge difference in your life and you can pay for it right away without touching funds that are earmarked for other important goals, then go for it. • Pause and think twice before buying large items. When making major purchases (for example, over $500), take some time between deciding to buy and making the actual purchase. Prioritize your expenditures by categorizing them in terms of cost and effect. For example, you should pay your health insurance and car insurance before booking a shortterm vacation. • Make a list before shopping. Whether shopping for groceries, household items or gifts, creating a list -- and sticking to it -- will help you avoid impulse buys and save money. • Shop for major holidays throughout the year. Set a budget for annual gifts early in the year and take the time to comparison shop to find the best prices and take advantage of discounts when you find them.

Unfortunately, this is not easy for everyone. However, working with a Certified Financial Planner (CFP) professional to manage your spending can help you stay focused on achieving your long-term financial goals. To find a CFP professional near you who can help you look at your life through a financial lens and avoid the cost of emotionally driven decisions, visit www.letsmakeaplan. org. Remember that your financial priorities should almost always be focused on your long-term goals. A bit of planning and some outside help can go a long way toward better spending decisions.

as decisiones sobre el gasto de dinero a menudo son impulsadas por las emociones, incluso si lo que le dice su corazón va en contra de la lógica. Las elecciones financieras emocionales pueden proporcionarle felicidad a corto plazo, pero es probable que resulten en arrepentimiento o deuda a largo plazo. Aquí hay seis consejos para tomar decisiones de gastos, sin permitir que sus emociones se hagan cargo. • Obtenga una imagen precisa de lo que cuesta mantener su estilo de vida y financiar sus objetivos. Conocer sus gastos fijos y variables y poder cuantificar sus objetivos en términos de dólares y plazos lo ayudará a comprender lo que puede permitirse gastar en el corto plazo. • Pregúntese si quiere algo o necesita algo antes de comprarlo. Si lo necesita, o si marcará una gran diferencia en su vida y puede pagarlo de inmediato sin tocar los fondos destinados a otros objetivos importantes, entonces hágalo. • Haga una pausa y piense dos veces antes

• Compre feriados importantes durante todo el año. Establezca un presupuesto para regalos anuales a principios de año y tómese el tiempo para comparar precios para encontrar los mejores precios y aprovechar los descuentos cuando los encuentre. Esto no solo ayuda a distribuir los gastos, sino que también garantiza que no pague una prima por las compras de última hora. • Los expertos dicen que las personas con conocimientos financieros conocen sus desencadenantes emocionales para gastar y pueden controlarlos cuando sea necesario. Desafortunadamente, esto no es fácil para todos. Sin embargo, trabajar con un profesional de Certified Financial Planner (CFP) para administrar sus gastos puede ayudarlo a mantenerse enfocado en alcanzar sus metas financieras a largo plazo. Para encontrar un profesional de CFP cerca de usted que pueda ayudarlo a ver su vida a través de un lente financiero y evitar el costo de decisiones emocionalmente impulsadas, visite www.letsmakeaplan.org. Recuerde que sus prioridades financieras casi siempre deben centrarse en sus objetivos a largo plazo. Un poco de planificación y algo de ayuda externa pueden ayudar mucho a tomar mejores decisiones de gasto.

solo el 3% de los niños de California permanecen sin seguro. El presidente de Children Now, Ted Lempert, dijo que es porque el estado se ha movido agresivamente para cubrir a todos los niños, incluidos los indocumentados.

AKLAND, Calif. -- California may be a leader in many areas, but overall child well-being is not one of them, according to a new report.

"Y es un ejemplo de lo que sucede cuando nuestros líderes estatales realmente se enfocan y establecen una meta, y llegamos allí", dijo. "Casi el 20% de nuestros hijos no tenían seguro hace solo un par de décadas. Por lo tanto, este ha sido un progreso real en ese frente".

The latest Children's Report Card from the nonprofit Children Now gives California a grade of "C-minus" overall. The only "A" grade in the 16th semiannual analysis is for kids' health coverage, as only 3% of California children remain uninsured. Children Now president Ted Lempert said that's because the state has moved aggressively to cover all kids, including those who are undocumented. "And it's an example of what happens when our state leaders really focus and set a goal, and we get there," he said. "Almost 20% of our kids were uninsured just a couple decades ago. So, this has been real progress on that front." However, the state got a grade of "D-plus" for affordable childcare - because only 14% of lowincome families can get their children into statesubsidized care. The report also noted that childcare workers make very low wages, which has led to a shortage. The state got its only failing grade for the lack of support staff -- such as teachers' aides -- in schools. Lempert said a lot of kids who need help are falling through the cracks.

Sin embargo, el estado obtuvo una calificación de "D-plus" para el cuidado de niños asequible, porque solo el 14% de las familias de bajos ingresos pueden llevar a sus hijos a un cuidado subsidiado por el estado. El informe también señaló que los trabajadores de cuidado infantil ganan salarios muy bajos, lo que ha provocado una escasez.

island state by opening a loophole to the private sector.

T

But domestic tourism alone cannot revive the key sector, so Cuba has turned to visitors from two political partner countries: China and Russia.

rinidad, Cuba - El embargo comercial de EE. UU. Y el colapso del operador turístico Thomas Cook han provocado pérdidas masivas para Cuba, un país que depende del sector turístico. En 2019, ambos eventos significaron que Cuba tenía 500,000 turistas menos llegando a sus costas. Para revertir la situación, la industria ha puesto su mirada en China, Rusia y los cubanos ricos que pueden permitirse unas buenas vacaciones. "Nuestro mercado principal es el mercado interno, el del turismo cubano. Creció mucho más del 10 por ciento en 2019 y aumenta cada año", dijo Reiner Rendón, delegado del Ministerio de Turismo en la provincia de Sancti Spiritus, hogar de la ciudad colonial de Trinidad Con más de 1,4 millones de visitas anuales, según el funcionario, Trinidad suele ser un destino imperdible para cualquiera que viaje a la isla caribeña con la esperanza de algo más que sol y mar. Las autoridades han decidido impulsar el turismo a esta joya del patrimonio catalogada como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO, y planean aumentar el número de habitaciones disponibles de 3.945 a 22.276 en la próxima década. La ambiciosa meta todavía está en la agenda del ministerio a pesar de que Cuba ha perdido más del 8 por ciento de sus visitantes anuales, que cayeron de más de 4,7 millones en 2018 a 4,3 millones en 2019, según estimaciones del gobierno. El sector turístico continuará apuntando a viajeros extranjeros, pero también a cubanos ricos de La Habana, Santiago, Villa Clara o Camagüey.

"Tengo que decirles que gran parte del turismo nacional está dirigido a hoteles de cuatro y cinco estrellas", dijo Rendón a EFE. Hace años, era impensable que en un país donde el salario promedio sea de aproximadamente $ 45 por mes, alguien pudiera quedarse en una habitación al lado de un técnico alemán, profesor de francés o jurista español. Pero Cuba está cambiando. Una ola de nuevos empresarios y autónomos se ha convertido en un impulso económico clave desde que el ex gobernador Raúl Castro suavizó el marco comunista del estado insular al abrir una brecha en el sector privado. Pero el turismo interno por sí solo no puede revivir el sector clave, por lo que Cuba ha recurrido a visitantes de dos países socios políticos: China y Rusia. El turismo ruso en Cuba se ha disparado de 51,000 viajeros en 2017 a 137,000 en 2018 y 178,000 en 2019. Como en años anteriores, Canadá fue en 2019 el exportador de turistas a la isla, seguido por la comu-

El año pasado, la administración Trump unió a Cuba con el régimen venezolano de Nicolás Maduro y endureció el embargo, que ha estado activo durante seis décadas, con nuevas sanciones. Las sanciones incluyeron la prohibición de viajar en cruceros, yates y aviones privados y un embargo sobre el acceso a los motores de búsqueda en Internet. La medida provocó una caída del 5,2 por ciento en las llegadas de Estados Unidos a Cuba en los primeros nueve meses de 2019. Más tarde ese año, todos los vuelos regulares desde los EE. UU. A Cuba, excepto La Habana, fueron eliminados. Para 2020, se implementó la misma medida para incluir vuelos charter y se espera que el volumen de turistas de América del Norte al país continúe cayendo en picado.

rinidad, Cuba - The US trade embargo and collapse of tour operator Thomas Cook have led to massive losses to Cuba, a country that is reliant on the tourism sector. In 2019, both events meant Cuba had 500,000 fewer tourists reaching its shores. To reverse the situation, the industry has set its sights on China, Russia and wealthy Cubans who can afford a good vacation. "Our main market is the domestic market, that of Cuban tourism. It grew much more than 10 percent in 2019 and increases every year," Reiner Rendón, delegate of the Ministry of Tourism in the province of Sancti Spiritus home to the colonial city of Trinidad.

El colapso del gigante Thomas Cook en septiembre, el principal emisor de turistas británicos a Cuba, provocó una gran cantidad de viajes cancelados.

With more than 1.4 million annual visits, according to the official, Trinidad is usually a must-see destination of anyone who travels to the Caribbean island hoping for more than just sun and sea.

Uno de los puertos más frecuentados por los cruceros de Thomas Cook es Cienfuegos, una ciudad declarada Patrimonio Cultural de la Humanidad por la UNESCO debido a su valiosa arquitectura colonial y su rico patrimonio artístico.

Authorities have decided to boost tourism to this heritage jewel listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and plan to increase the number of available rooms from 3,945 to 22,276 over the next decade.

El emblemático hotel Jagua (administrado por Meliá Hotels), fundado en 1959, también conocido como la perla del sur, ha recibido un gran golpe de la inmersión turística.

The ambitious goal is still on the ministry's agenda despite the fact Cuba has lost more than 8 percent of its yearly visitors, which fell from over 4.7 million in 2018 to 4.3 million in 2019, according to government estimates.

Mientras que en enero del año pasado el 63 por ciento de sus habitaciones estaban ocupadas, a principios de 2020 casi ningún cliente puede ser visto en el bar o la piscina. "Este año, después del retiro de las operaciones estadounidenses y la bancarrota de Thomas Cook, tenemos una ocupación del 35 por ciento", dijo a EFE la subdirectora del hotel, Liliana Guerra. "Se hizo necesaria una nueva proyección hacia el mercado interno", agregó. Por primera vez en seis décadas, se lanzaron ofertas especiales de Navidad especialmente para cubanos, que se extendieron a enero y febrero. "El cliente nacional es un cliente tranquilo, que viene a caminar por la ciudad, el centro histórico", dijo.

The tourism sector will continue to target foreign travelers but also wealthy Cubans from Havana, Santiago, Villa Clara or Camaguey. "I have to tell you that a lot of national tourism is geared towards four and five-star hotels," Rendón told EFE. Years ago, it was unthinkable that in a country where the average salary is about $45 a month someone could stay in a room next to a German technician, French teacher or Spanish jurist. But Cuba is changing. A wave of new entrepreneurs and freelancers has become a key economic boost since exgovernor Raúl Castro softened the communist framework of the

As in previous years, Canada was in 2019 the exporter of tourists to the island, followed by the Cuban community abroad, the US, France, Germany, Mexico and Spain. Last year the Trump administration linked Cuba with the Venezuelan regime of Nicolás Maduro and hardened the embargo, which has been active for six decades, with fresh sanctions. Sanctions included a prohibition of travel by cruise ships, yachts and private airplanes and an embargo on access to internet search engines. The move caused a drop of 5.2 percent in US arrivals to Cuba in the first nine months of 2019. Later that year all regular flights from the US to Cuba, except for Havana, were axed. By 2020 the same measure was rolled out to include charter flights and the volume of tourists from North American to the country is expected to continue to plummet. The collapse of giant Thomas Cook in September, the main issuer of British tourists to Cuba, caused a massive number of canceled trips. One of the ports most frequented by Thomas Cook cruises is Cienfuegos, a city declared a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage owing to its valuable colonial architecture and rich artistic heritage. The emblematic Jagua hotel (managed by Meliá Hotels), founded in 1959, also known as the pearl of the south has taken a huge hit from the tourist dip. While in January of last year 63 percent of its rooms were occupied, in early 2020 barely any customers can be seen by the bar or pool. "This year, after the withdrawal of American operations and the bankruptcy of Thomas Cook, we have a 35 percent occupancy," the hotel's deputy director Liliana Guerra told EFE. "A new projection towards the internal market" became necessary, she added. For the first time in six decades, special Christmas offers were launched especially for Cubans, which have been extended to January and February. "The national customer is a quiet customer, who comes to walk the city, the historic center," she said. EFE

experience, but Bryant showed signs of his ever-evolving talent by jumping directly to the NBA in 1996 at just 18 years-old.

obe Bryant, conocido como la 'Mamba negra', se convirtió en uno de los grandes iconos del baloncesto mundial gracias a su extraordinaria capacidad anotadora, su amor por el deporte y una arrolladora personalidad que llevó a Los Ángeles Lakers a volver a la cima y obtener cinco campeonatos de la NBA. "Haré todo lo que tenga que hacer para ganar partidos, sea sentarme en el banquillo agitando la toalla, darle un vaso de agua a un compañero o anotar el tiro definitivo para ganar el partido", indicó en una ocasión al explicar su voracidad y ambición. Se le conocía como 'Mamba negra' precisamente por su voluntad ganadora que no tenía límites. Muchos creen que nació con una pelota de baloncesto. Hijo de Joe Bryant, también jugador de la NBA, se mudó a los seis años a Italia donde su padre jugó entre 1984 y 1991 en diversos clubes. Aprendió a hablar con fluidez el italiano y desarrolló una pasión por el fútbol, que mantendría el resto de su vida como seguidor de F.C. Barcelona y el brasileño Ronaldinho Gaucho. Tras regresar a EEUU en 1991, comenzó a jugar en el equipo de su instituto en las afueras de Filadelfia (Pensilvania) donde se consolidó como una de las jóvenes estrellas en ascenso.

Tradicionalmente los jugadores de instituto pasaban por la liga universitaria donde buscan consolidar su talento y experiencia, pero Bryant dio muestras de su precoz voracidad al saltar de manera directa a la NBA en 1996 con apenas 18 años. "Si tienes miedo al fracaso, entonces probablemente vas a fracasar", solía asegurar. El resto, como se suele decir, es historia. Conquistó cinco anillos de campeón de la NBA, los tres primeros junto a Shaquille O'Neal y los dos últimos con el español Pau Gasol, en 2009 y 2010. Cuando Gasol dejó Los Ángeles para proseguir su carrera con los Chicago Bulls recono-

ció "lo mucho que echaba de menos" a Bryant. "Echo de menos su presencia. Echo de menos su actitud. No hay muchos jugadores que lo tengan", dijo de su excompañero. Tras retirarse, rápidamente presentó su propio fondo de inversiones centrado en los sectores de tecnología, medios de comunicación y datos. Asimismo, en 2018 compitió por el Óscar al mejor cortometraje animado con 'Dear Basketball', basado en un poema que escribió a su amado deporte. "Ambos sabemos, que no importa lo que haga después / siempre seré ese niño / con los calcetines estirados / un cubo de basura en la esquina / cinco segundos en el reloj / la bola en mis manos / 5 ... 4... 3... 2... 1 / Te amaré siempre / Kobe". Bryant estaba casado con Vanessa y tenía cuatro hijas: Gianna, Natalia, Bianca y la recién nacida Capri. Gianna, de 13 años, también falleció en el accidente de helicóptero, según informó el portal TMZ, que atribuye a autoridades. Kobe está considerado como uno de los mejores jugadores de la NBA de todos los tiempos, ya que ha formado parte 18 veces del equipo de las estrellas durante sus 20 años de carrera con los Lakers. Los Lakers retiraron las dos camisetas de Kobe, la número 8 y la 24. Es el único jugador en la historia del equipo angelino que ha recibido ese honor. Obtuvo, además, dos medallas de oro con la selección de EEUU en los Juegos Olímpicos de Pekín 2008 y Londres en 2012.

obe Bryant, known as the 'Black Mamba', became one of the great icons of world basketball thanks to his extraordinary scoring ability, his love for the sport and an overwhelming personality that led the Los Angeles Lakers to five NBA championships and cemented the franchise as one of the sport’s greatest. “I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot," he said once explaining his voracity and ambition. He was known as 'Black Mamba' precisely because of his winning will that had no limits, much like the serpent which strikes without provocation. Many believe he was essentially born with a basketball in hand. Son of Joe Bryant, also an NBA player, the family moved to Italy at age six where his father played between 1984 and 1991 in various clubs. He learned to speak Italian fluently and developed a passion for football (not the American one), which would keep the rest of his life as a follower of F.C. Barcelona and the Brazilian Ronaldinho Gaucho. After returning to the US in 1991, he began to play in his high school team outside Philadelphia, where he established himself as one of the rising young stars. Traditionally, high school players went through the university league where they seek to consolidate their talent and

He won five NBA champion rings, the first three with Shaquille O'Neal and the last two with the Spaniard Pau Gasol, in 2009 and 2010. When Gasol left Los Angeles to pursue his career with the Chicago Bulls he recognized, "how much he missed" Bryant. "I miss his presence. I miss his attitude. There aren't many players that have him," he said of his former teammate. After retiring, he quickly presented his own investment fund focused on the technology, media and data sectors. Also, in 2018 he competed for, and won, the Oscar for the best animated short film with “Dear Basketball”, based on a poem he wrote to his beloved sport. The animation was done by Glen Keane and score by the legendary John Williams. Bryant Narrated the short. "We both know, no matter what I do next / I will always be that child / with the socks stretched / a garbage can in the corner / five seconds on the clock / the ball in my hands / 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 / I will always love you / Kobe ". Kobe is considered one of the best NBA players of all time, as he has been part of the star team 18 times during his 20year career with the Lakers. The Lakers retired Kobe's two jersey numbers, 8 and 24 on December 18, 2017, being the only player in the history of the LA team that has received that honor. He also won two gold medals with the USA team at the 2008 Beijing and London Olympic Games in 2012. Bryant is survived by his wife Vanessa and three daughters: Natalia, Bianca and the newborn Capri. Gianna, who also perished in the helicopter crash that killed Bryant and 7 others on Sunday January 16, was 13.

VANESSA, LA VIUDA DE KOBE BRYANT QUE LE ENSEÑÓ ESPAÑOL Y A AMAR A LOS LATINOS

M

Alicia Civita EFE

le declaró su amor absoluto. "Estoy aquí sentado frente a ustedes y enojadísimo conmigo mismo por haber cometido el error del adulterio", declaró el atleta en aquel momento. "Amo a mi esposa con todo mi corazón. Ella es mi columna vertebral", dijo.

iami, FL- Una de las últimas entrevistas que dio el fallecido atleta Kobe Bryant fue en español y en la que expresó su amor por todo lo latino. ¿Cómo no?, pareció indicar con su cuerpo cuando se le preguntó por su conexión con la cultura hispana: "Mi esposa es mexicana. Mis hijas son mexicanas", dijo.

A su lado estaba Vanessa con una fuerte expresión que conmocionó las cámaras. En 2011, Vanessa Bryant introdujo la demanda de divorcio contra el basquetbolista, que para ese entonces ya había amasado una fortuna calculada en 150 millones de dólares.

El romance de Bryant con la cultura latina comenzó a los 20 años cuando se enamoró de una jovencita de 17 llamada Vanessa Marie Cornejo, hija de una madre soltera mexicana, que había conocido durante la grabación de un video en el que ella trabajaba como modelo. La relación causó un cataclismo en la vida de ambos. Ella no pudo graduarse de forma normal por la revolución que causaron los paparazzi en la escuela Marina High School, donde cursaba el último año de secundaria.

Siempre alejada de la prensa, fue Kobe quien dijo unos meses después que estaban "trabajando" para "recuperar" el matrimonio. Los esfuerzos funcionaron. Tanto que ocho años después volvieron a ser padres.

Photo Credit: EFE/ Instagram Kobe Bryant los Bryant no asistieron a la boda, realizada por el rito católico.

El diario Los Angeles Times reportó en aquella época que los fotógrafos la vigilaban desde helicópteros tratando de capturar la imagen de la jovencita que había capturado el corazón de una de las estrellas del equipo de baloncesto de Los Angeles Lakers.

Vanessa tenía 18 años cuando se casó con Bryant el 18 de abril de 2001, pero ayer convirtió en su viuda, cuando el famoso deportista, empresario, filántropo y artista falleció a consecuencia de un accidente en helicóptero, donde también perdieron la vida otras ocho personas, incluyendo a Gigi Bryant, la hija de 13 años de ambos.

Vanessa sacrificó el famoso baile de otoño, conocido como el "prom". Luego terminó los estudios por correspondencia.

La hija mayor de Kobe y Vanessa Bryant nació en 2002. Natalia Diamante Bryant cumplió 17 años 7 días antes de la muerte de su padre.

Bryant tampoco la pasó bien. Sus padres le criticaron que se hubiese "enseriado" estando tan joven y, como si eso fuera poco, con una mujer latina. Mientras la relación se solidificaba, el vínculo entre padres e hijo se fue enfriando, de tal manera, que

Luego vino Gigi y varios años después las hijas más pequeñas: Bianka, de 3 años, y Capri, de 7 meses. La relación entre ellos estuvo más cerca de las telenovelas a las que Kobe Bryant le debía su español,

que a los cuentos de hadas. Con una gramática a veces accidentada, pero con una pronunciación sorprendente para un angloparlante de cuna, Kobe Bryant hablaba español fluidamente. En una entrevista reveló que estaba viendo con su suegra mexicana "La madrastra", la telenovela protagonizada por Victoria Ruffo, para practicar. El gran estallido público entre Kobe y su esposa fue en 2003, cuando el baloncetista fue acusado de atacar sexualmente a una mujer de 19 años en un hotel en el estado de Colorado. El caso fue arreglado extrajudicialmente. Vanessa apoyó a su marido en todo momento, aunque él aceptó haberle sido infiel. En una conferencia de prensa para hablar del escándalo, Bryant

Aunque la pareja era fotografiada a menudo en citas sociales, alfombras rojas y actividades filantrópicas, Vanessa Bryant rara vez ha dado declaraciones. En los juegos de baloncesto de su marido, quien se retiró en 2016 tras 20 años en la plantilla de Los Ángeles Lakers, prefería quedarse en el túnel por donde salen los jugadores para escapar de los fotógrafos. Sus redes sociales son privadas, pero los fans de Bryant llegaron a conocer de ella gracias a las publicaciones de él, quien había adoptado el apodo de "Black Mamba" y le había dado a ella el de "Queen Mamba". Hoy millones la acompañan en su duelo por la muerte de su esposo y su hija.

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.

VANESSA BRYANT, THE PERSON WHO TAUGHT KOBE BRYANT SPANISH AND TO LOVE LATINOS Alicia Civita; Translation by Arturo Hilario EFE

settled out of court. Vanessa always supported her husband, although he agreed to have been unfaithful. At a press conference to discuss the scandal, Bryant declared his absolute love.

last interviews given by the late athlete OneKobeof theBryant was in Spanish.

"I sit here in front of you guys furious at myself, disgusted at myself for making the mistake of adultery,” he declared then. “I love my wife with all my heart. She's my backbone.”

In it he expressed his love for everything Latino. How could I not? He seemed to indicate with his body when asked about his connection to the Hispanic culture: "My wife is Mexican. My daughters are Mexican," he said.

At his side was Vanessa - with a strong expression that captivated the cameras and onlookers.

Bryant's romance with Latino culture began at age 20 when he fell in love with a 17-year-old girl named Vanessa Marie Cornejo, daughter of a single Mexican mother, whom she had met during the recording of a video in which she worked as a model.

In 2011, Vanessa Bryant introduced a divorce lawsuit against the basketball player, who by then had amassed a fortune estimated at $ 150 million. Always away from the press, it was Kobe who said a few months later that they were "working" to "recover" the marriage.

The relationship caused a cataclysm in the lives of both.

The efforts worked. So much so that eight years later they became parents again.

She could not graduate normally because of the commotion caused by paparazzi at Marina High School, where she was in the last year of high school. The Los Angeles Times reported at that time that photographers watched her from helicopters trying to capture the image of the young girl who had captured the heart of one of the stars of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team. Vanessa sacrificed her prom. She finished her schooling from home. Bryant didn't have a good time either. His parents criticized him for having "gotten serious" while he was still so young and, as if that were not enough, with a Latina woman. While the relationship solidified, the bond between parents and son became wobbly, so much so that the elder Bryants did not attend Kobe and Venessa’s Catholic wedding.

Photo Credit: EFE/ Instagram Kobe Bryant Vanessa was 18 when she married Bryant on April 18, 2001, but yesterday she became his widow, when the famous sportsman, businessman, philanthropist and artist died as a result of a helicopter accident, where eight other people also lost their lives, including Gigi Bryant, the 13-year-old daughter of the Bryants. The eldest daughter of Kobe and Vanessa Bryant was born in 2002. Natalia Diamante Bryant turned 17 years 7 days before her father's death. Then Gigi came and several years later the youngest daughters: Bianka, 3, and Capri, 7 months. The relationship between them was closer to the

soap operas to which Kobe Bryant owed his Spanish, than to fairy tales. With a sometimes-improper grammar, but with a surprising pronunciation for an English speaker, Kobe Bryant spoke Spanish fluently.

In the basketball games of her husband, who retired in 2016 after 20 years on the Los Angeles Lakers squad, she preferred to stay in the tunnel where players exit in order to escape the photographers.

In an interview he revealed that he was watching with his Mexican mother-in-law "La madrastra (The stepmother in English)", the soap opera starring Victoria Ruffo, to practice.

Her social networks are private, but Bryant's fans got to know her thanks to his posts, who had adopted the nickname "Black Mamba" and had given her the "Queen Mamba".

The great public outbreak between Kobe and his wife was in 2003, when the basketball player was accused of sexually attacking a 19-year-old woman in a hotel in the state of Colorado. The case was

Today millions accompany her in sorrow at the death of her husband and daughter, as well as the 7 other lives lost.
