A WOMEN'S RIGHT TO DECIDE

R

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

ecently state legislatures have passed legislation which prohibit abortion once a fetal heartbeat becomes evident. These state legislative bodies and the state governors who sign off on legislation passed, which established that abortion-prohibiting as the public policy of the state having jurisdiction, are all male elected official dominated.

In one state, that legislature had three women as elected officials. All three women chose not to speak up during the brief deliberation debates. I know of no hearings, no input by medical experts in the fields of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob-Gyn); and no posting of these proposed public policy for a 30-day “review and comments” period by professionals or residents. Were women provided an opportunity to voice their perspectives and concerns?

CA's Attorney General Xavier Becerra wrote, “Going after abortion rights. Blocking access to birth control (products and services). Attempts (continue) to dismantle the entire Affordable Care Act (2010 ObamaCare)...

These conservative attacks threaten access to health care for millions. And while California leads the fight in standing up to these assaults, we (Californians) can’t let Big Pharma sneak by for their role in blocking access to (affordable) healthcare, too.”

(Source: Xavier Becerra, Email 05.27.2019) As a former military surgicalmedical technician, I attended some 300 live births and

personally witnessed the human birthing process in a military hospital which provided health care services to the military, their families and Foreign Affairs personnel, and others as authorized during the Occupation of Japan (1946-'49).

Later, in my life's journey, I married Ruth Palmisano and we had three children (two girls and a boy).

Finally, my professional career included two medical schools and three major medical centers.

Let me be direct: Male elected officials must not be allowed to limit a woman's right to decide or choose any action or nonaction which involves human reproduction except for making public policy which impacts their own vas deferens, testicles and penis.

Too many males are simply sperm donors who do not fully participate as a father and supportive partner to his wife and children.

Men need to take into account that when a woman decides to have a family, she commits her entire being, body and soul, to getting pregnant; experiencing a 9-month gestation process which ideally should contain prenatal and postnatal care; and following the birthing experiences, remains committed to nurturing her child for the next 18 years.

During all this, it would be very good for the mother (woman) to have the full support of her partner because she will need respite relief periods, support and companionship, all provided with respect and a dignified caring loving commitment.

Idealogues who think they can direct and control human reproductive activities and processes are simply and totally wrong. They have over-reached their jurisdiction into intimate marriage and family areas which

involve community, culture and religious beliefs (mine is Christian).

I am aware that each nation has population officials who are rightly concerned about birth rates which maintain that nation's population or allow it to grow or shrink. Their concern is about that nation's skilled labor pool and its impact upon its domestic economy.

Those nations which permit immigrants to become residents and citizens experience the most healthy and creative populations because inbreeding results in the expression of too many limiting biological issues. Cultures which accept and allow some mixed racial/cultural marriages, experience what geneticists term hybrid vigor.

It is NOT a good practice to limit human relationships. This is why incest and rape are taboo in many societies. (As exemplified by certain royal families). In-breeding results in the expression of several recessive genes, lung cystic fibrosis is an example. Today, the entire human genome has been established using the basic DNA technology established by Dr. Arthur Kornber, M.D., Nobel Prize 1959.

Legislative bodies (U.S. Congress and all State legislatures) would be well advised to deal with establishment of a comprehensive health care service system which is available to all residents and which includes both female and male reproduction services and research.

Instead of limiting resources such as curtailment of Planned Parenthood budgets (only 3% of all their funds are expended supporting abortion issues), encourage women to practice life styles which include balanced nutrition, exercise, an employment vocation or profession, religious, community, and public policy

involvement & activities.

control, etc.)

It is very important to provide for community safety and security.

Let's eliminate gun violence and domestic violence which kills many women. Provide funding for safe havens from domestic violence. Most important is to provide homes, child care programs, and education (pre-K to 12th grade) and beyond.

Where possible, an unwanted child could be put up for adoption as many couples are childless and want to adopt a child as their own.

It is simply not right to craft laws which make abortions a criminal activity resulting in the loss of licenses, clinics, mental and behavioral counseling services, etc.

Since women, as mothers, need to be supported and provided access to respites from being fully responsible, these issues require governance and resources. After all, in our Judeo-Christian value system, human life is price-less - and what is also very essential is the human relationships which a child needs to experience and learn.

All of these issues require some level of expertise which is organized and transferred through an appropriate education process incorporated into community programs.

Parents need to be taught parenting skills; the head of household needs to have vocational skills enabling the earning of a living income. The raising of a child in a family setting may be an ideal which needs more attention and supportive services.

In the past, the prohibition of abortions have resulted in an underground unmonitored service system which is unaffordable to many women.

Today, many have forgotten the extent of human suffering (death of pregnant women; suicides; lack of delivery of services and expertise needed in a licensed clinic that practices infection

If laws are needed, take the essential steps to permit religious and cultural input by all. Let existing standards continue to exist, especially Roe vs Wade already adjudicated years ago by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I favor the inclusion and involvement of women in crafting those laws which deal with families, human reproduction, and health care. Women have a different perspective and scope of experience which needs to be tapped when dealing with issues that involve their female bodies.

Since 1920, women have been full citizens with their right to vote. It is essential that the silent majority and all women use their voting power to elect more progressive elected officials who will enact legislation which enables and empowers rather than dominates and controls. It is possible to stop ideologues who want to dominate and control by voting for elected officials who are progressive women who will speak up and push back those wrongful approaches to human reproduction.

One thing is certain: Women's issues and their perspectives must be listened to and included if we want the general status of any community to improve.

Trust a woman to make the right decisions especially when it comes to dealing with issues impacting her own body.

Remember: It is the female of the species who produces the next generation. A woman's right to decide and choose must be respected, allowed, and supported. When mothers are happy and content, life is good.

LA MINI REJA PARA TRUMP barrotes en medio de desierto, difícilmente corresponde a su ambiciosa visión original de un mega muro capaz de contener la presunta “invasión” de migrantes latinoamericanos.

Entre los arquitectos del nuevo proyecto figura Kris Kobach, el polémico ex secretario de Estado de Kansas, fallido aspirante a la Cámara de Representantes y más recientemente a la gubernatura de Kansas, quien ha hecho fama como padre intelectual de algunas de las más draconianas iniciativas estatales y locales contra los inmigrantes.

ncapaz de superar hasta el momento los obstáculos políticos y judiciales para levantar su faraónico, oneroso e ineficiente muro en la frontera con México, el presidente Donald Trump parece que tendrá que contentarse, al menos por ahora,

con una reja metálica que está siendo construida con dinero proveniente de una colecta de fondos a través de Internet.

Para un hombre acostumbrado a presumir de sus proyectos inmobiliarios como si se tratara de expresiones extraordinarias de su ingenio, la imagen de unas cuantas millas de una reja con

Otro de los promotores de la reja privada es el no menos polémico ex asesor de Trump, Steve Bannon, una de las figuras emblemáticas de la llamada “derecha alternativa” que promueve el nacionalismo económico, aunque algunas de sus organizaciones participantes han sido abiertamente catalogadas como grupos de odio o racistas.

El dúo dinámico de Kobach -- asesor legal del grupo constructor de la reja Build The Wall-- y Bannon -- jefe de su junta de asesores-- planea levantar 21 millas de reja para unir, dentro de propiedad privada, dos secciones existentes del muro fronterizo en la línea fronteriza entre Texas y Nuevo México.

Su organización Build The Wall espera gastar entre 6 millones y 8 millones de dólares en ese proyecto.

En unos 5 meses han recolectado más de 20 millones de dólares a través de GoFundMe y planean llevar su concepto a otras zonas de la frontera con México.

Apenas la semana pasada un juez de California bloqueó el plan de Trump de destinar dinero del Pentágono para construir su muro fronterizo en Yuma, Arizona y El Paso, Texas.

Se trató de un nuevo revés judicial para un presidente que no ha logrado convencer ni a los jueces ni a los demócratas

sobre la utilidad de su muro.

Que ahora se construya la reja metálica en terreno privado con dinero privado, difícilmente evitará que grupos ecologistas opuestos al muro presenten demandas legales para frenar su construcción ante la falta de estudios de impacto ambiental en algunos de los hábitats de fauna y flora más delicados de la geografía estadounidense.

La Ley Real ID permitió que los muros fronterizos no cumplan con las leyes de impacto ambiental si el gobierno federal argumenta que las barreras se necesitan por seguridad nacional. Pero la ley está siendo retadas en las cortes y ese argumento no pasa la prueba del ácido cuando los constructores tienen un historial de hostilidad hacia los inmigrantes.

l mercado laboral está cambiando rápidamente, gracias a las tecnologías nuevas y emergentes. Como resultado, la capacitación laboral se ha vuelto altamente especializada, incluso a nivel de escuela secundaria.

Si bien los jóvenes que viven en comunidades urbanas y suburbanas a menudo se benefician del acceso en el lugar a la educación especializada que necesitarán para el éxito profesional futuro, los que viven en áreas rurales a veces deben confiar en la educación a distancia para obtener la misma capacitación que las escuelas rurales más pequeñas. No siempre se puede ofrecer de manera realista una amplia gama de cursos especializados.

Teniendo esto en cuenta, un informe reciente de NTCA – The Rural Broadband Association, destaca la necesidad de acceso a Internet de alta velocidad en todas las comunidades del país para satisfacer las demandas del mercado laboral del futuro.

Con dos categorías de empleos preparadas para la demanda, empleos de habilidades intermedias y STEM, los expertos dicen que el acceso confiable a la banda ancha rural ayudará a garantizar que haya suficientes trabajadores capacitados disponibles para cubrir la próxima generación de empleos en los Estados Unidos, al mismo tiempo que ayuda a ampliar las oportunidades de empleo Mayor número de jóvenes.

Los proveedores de banda ancha rural siguen desempeñando un papel vital. Al aprovechar sus redes y trabajar en estrecha colaboración con las

instituciones educativas locales, están proporcionando conectividad de fibra y banda ancha a las escuelas en lugares de difícil acceso. Como resultado de estas iniciativas, un mayor número de comunidades y escuelas pueden ofrecer cursos especializados, orientación profesional y más a sus estudiantes, ayudando a crear oportunidades de carrera locales y fortalecer las economías locales.

Aquellos que se han beneficiado directamente de la banda ancha rural se hacen eco de este sentimiento.

“El servicio de Internet de alta velocidad en mi área rural me permitió participar más plenamente en la escuela secundaria y me dio la oportunidad de explorar más oportunidades después de graduarme. Estoy muy agradecido por el acceso que me brindaron, ahora mismo estoy trabajando en una empresa de banda ancha y planeo estudiar administración de empresas y mercadotecnia en la escuela ", dice Devin Bryant, una joven adulta que vive y trabaja en Abbeville, SC" Buen servicio "Me permite quedarme en mi área rural cerca de familiares y amigos y seguir buscando las oportunidades de trabajo que quiero".

Con un esfuerzo ya en marcha por NTCA para construir comunidades rurales inteligentes y conectadas, los expertos dicen que puede esperar ver oportunidades educativas expandidas y fortalecer las economías locales en todo el país. Para obtener más información sobre estos esfuerzos, visite ntca.org.

El acceso a la banda ancha confiable es vital para los jóvenes de hoy en su búsqueda de educación y capacitación laboral.

he job market is rapidly changing, thanks to new and emerging technologies. As a result, job training has become highly specialized, even at the high school level.

While young people living in urban and suburban communities often benefit from on-site access to the specialized education that they will need for future career success, those living in rural areas must sometimes rely on distance education to get the same training, as smaller rural schools can’t always realistically offer a wide range of specialized coursework.

With this in mind, a recent report from NTCA– The Rural Broadband Association, highlights the need for high-speed Internet access in every community nationwide to meet the demands of tomorrow’s job market.

With two job categories poised for demand, middle-skill and STEM jobs, experts say that reliable rural broadband access will help ensure that there are enough trained workers available to fill the next generation of American jobs, while also helping to expand job opportunities for a greater number of young people.

Rural broadband providers continue to play a vital role. By leveraging their networks and working closely with local educational institutions, they are providing fiber connectivity and

broadband to schools in harder-to-reach locations. As a result of these initiatives, a greater number of communities and schools can offer specialized coursework, career guidance and more to their students, helping to build local career opportunities and strengthen local economies.

Those who have directly benefitted from rural broadband echo this sentiment.

“High-speed internet service in my rural area allowed me to participate more fully in high school and gave me the chance to explore more opportunities after graduation. I am so grateful for the access it provided me, I am now actually working at a broadband company myself and plan to study business management and marketing at school,” says Devin Bryant, a young adult living and working in Abbeville, S.C. “Good service allows me to stay in my rural area near family and friends and still pursue the job opportunities I want.”

With an effort already underway by NTCA to build smart and connected rural communities, experts say you can expect to see expanded educational opportunities and strengthened local economies nationwide. To learn more about these efforts, visit ntca.org.

Access to reliable broadband is vital for today’s young people in their search for education and job training.

CARTAS “NO-MATCH”: CIENTOS DE INMIGRANTES NO-MATCH LETTERS: HUNDREDS OF IMMIGRANTS PIERDEN EMPLEOS BAJO LA PRESIÓN DE TRUMP LOSE JOBS UNDER PRESSURE FROM TRUMP

hoenix - Cientos de trabajadores inmigrantes en todo el país que no pueden probar que están en los Estados Unidos legalmente se ven obligados a renunciar a sus trabajos después de que sus empleadores reciban lo que se conoce como cartas “Nomatch” de la Administración del Seguro Social (SSA).

Las cartas de no coincidencia se envían cuando la SSA detecta discrepancias entre sus registros y la información proporcionada por los empleados en sus formularios de impuestos W-2.

En algunos casos, sin embargo, las discrepancias se deben a errores administrativos o de entrada de fecha.

La SSA anunció a principios de este año que reanudaría la práctica de enviar cartas de no coincidencia a los empleadores después de una pausa de siete años.

Por temor a ser golpeados con sanciones federales, los empleadores que reciben las cartas han optado por hacer una "limpieza" de sus fuerzas laborales.

"El trabajo es muy duro, el jefe es abusivo porque a veces trabajamos 13 horas al día y no nos pagan todo el tiempo extra ... pero tengo que aguantarlo porque no tengo mis papeles," Dijo Andrade.

Este año, el gobierno del presidente Donald Trump ha estado enviando más de 570,000 Nomatch a compañías de todo el país, informó The New York Times.

Cornejo dijo que a menudo recibe llamadas de trabajadores que solicitan asesoramiento sobre los despidos, que consideran "injustificados".

Dijo que esas cartas están causando ansiedad a las empresas, principalmente en las industrias de hoteles, agricultura y construcción, los sectores más afectados por la medida.

Los críticos dicen que la reactivación de las cartas es parte de la línea dura de las políticas de inmigración de la administración republicana.

"Esto ha sido completamente planeado: las acciones del gobierno son deliberadas y están en aumento. No se trata solo de negocios, sino que el gobierno está demandando un número cada vez mayor de casos,” dijo Cornejo.

"Estas medidas ponen a los empleadores en una situación alarmante, ya que dependen de una fuerza laboral de miles de inmigrantes para mantener sus negocios operativos en un momento de alto empleo," dijo la activista de inmigración y analista Carmen Cornejo a EFE. Hablando bajo condición de anonimato, el dueño de una tienda de muebles en Phoenix dijo que buscó asesoría legal después de recibir cartas sin coincidencias.

"Nadie quiere tener problemas con el gobierno federal; solo quería saber cuáles eran mis responsabilidades. No puede seguir adelante y despedir a las personas, primero tiene que darles la oportunidad de demostrar que están trabajando legalmente aquí," dijo el empresario.

EFE. Sofía Andrade vivió todos esos problemas cuando trabajaba en una compañía que preparaba ensaladas. Ella dijo que su jefe de repente le dijo a un grupo que tenían cuatro días para demostrar que estaban aquí legalmente y así mantener sus empleos.

"Nos dijeron en una reunión sobre un mensaje que recibieron de inmigración: el jefe dijo que le pidieron una lista de los nombres de todos los trabajadores, junto con sus números de Seguro Social," dijo Andrade a EFE. "Cerca de 40 de nosotros tuvimos que renunciar a nuestros trabajos," dijo.

Ahora, agregó, tiene que trabajar en un taller de carpintería con una paga de $ 11 por hora en

hoenix - Hundreds of immigrant laborers nationwide who can't prove they are in the United States legally are being forced to quit their jobs after their employers receive what are known as no-match letters from the Social Security Administration (SSA).

No-match letters are sent out when the SSA detects discrepancies between its records and the information provided by employees on their W-2 tax forms.

In some cases, however, the discrepancies are due to administrative or date-entry errors.

The SSA announced earlier this year that it would resume the practice of sending no-match letters to employers after a seven-year hiatus.

Out of fear of being hit with federal sanctions, employers receiving the letters have chosen to do a "cleanup" of their labor forces.

"These measures put employers in an alarming situation, since they depend on a workforce of thousands of immigrants to keep their businesses operative at a time of high employment," immigration activist and analyst Carmen Cornejo told EFE

This year President Donald Trump's administration has been sending more than 570,000 no-match letters to companies all over the country, The New York Times reported.

Cornejo said she often receives calls from workers asking for advice on the dismissals, which they consider "unjustified."

She said that those letters are causing companies a bout of anxiety, principally those in the hotel, agriculture and construction industries, the sectors most affected by the measure.

Critics say the reactivation of the letters is part of the hard line of the Republican administration's immigration policies.

"This has been completely planned - the government's actions are deliberate and are on the rise. This is not just business as usual, but the government is demanding an ever greater number of cases," Cornejo said.

TAKE EO WITH YOU ANYWHERE... ANYTIME.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the owner of a furniture store in Phoenix said that he sought legal advice after receiving no-match letters.

"Nobody wants problems with the federal government - I only wanted to know what my responsibilities were. You can't just go ahead and fire people, you first have to give them the chance to prove they are working here legally," the businessman told EFE. Sofia Andrade lived through all those problems when she worked at a company that prepared salads. She said her boss suddenly told a group of them that they had four days to prove they were here legally and so keep their jobs.

"They told us at a meeting about a message they got from immigration - the boss said they asked him for a list of names of all the workers together with their Social Security (numbers)," Andrade told EFE. "Close to 40 of us had to quit our jobs," she said.

Now, she added, she has to work in a carpentry shop with a pay of $11 per hour under "very tough" conditions.

"The work is very hard, the boss is abusive because at times we work 13-hour days and don't get paid for all the extra time...but I have to put up with it because I don't have my papers," Andrade said.

isits to the doctor can be very productive with a little preparation work before the appointment, experts say.

"For some people, visits to the doctor can be discouraging or even frightening, but there are steps you can take beforehand to improve the experience, encourage communication and therefore improve health outcomes," says Barbara L. McAneny. , MD, President of the American Medical Association (AMA). "By being open and honest with your doctor and by asking questions, you can play a key role in preventing the progression of chronic diseases and in how to set a healthier course."

4. Get analysis. Ask your doctor about the necessary health screens based on your age, gender, and other risk factors, including your family history. Healthfinder.gov is a good resource for finding recommended preventive services.

5. Find out what your risk is and act. Talk with your doctor about the risk of type 2 diabetes. Before the consultation, you can take a free self-screening test online at DoIHavePrediabetes.org to find out if you have prediabetes. During the visit, the doctor will have to confirm a diagnosis of prediabetes and can help you develop an individualized plan to prevent it from progressing to type 2 diabetes.

6. Get vaccinated. Talk to your doctor about the importance of vaccination. Many vaccinations require reinforcements after a while. Be sure you are up to date on your vaccinations.

Here are eight ways to get more out of your next doctor visit:

7. Get help. Tell your doctor if you have been feeling bad and think you might be suffering from depression.

1. Know your history. A family health history can help your doctor and other health professionals identify if you are at increased risk for certain diseases and disorders. With this information, they can make informed decisions for your care, from recommending specific treatments or diagnoses to helping you plan for lifestyle changes that will help you stay well. Before your next visit, gather as much information as you can to share it with your doctor.

8. Know your numbers. Track your health data such as your height, weight, body mass index and blood pressure in order to share the trends with your doctor and act if necessary.

as visitas al médico pueden ser muy productivas con un poco de trabajo de preparación antes de la cita, dicen los expertos.

“Para algunas personas, las visitas al médico pueden ser desalentadoras o incluso atemorizantes, pero hay pasos que uno puede dar de antemano para mejorar la experiencia, fomentar la comunicación y, por tanto, mejorar los resultados de salud”, dice Barbara L. McAneny, M.D., Presidenta de la Asociación Médica Estadounidense (AMA).

“Al ser abierto y honesto con su médico y al hacer preguntas, puede desempeñar un papel clave en la prevención del avance de las enfermedades crónicas y en cómo fijar un curso más saludable”. Éstas son ocho maneras de sacar más provecho de su próxima visita al médico: 1. Conozca su historial. Un historial de salud familiar puede ayudarles a su médico y a otros profesionales de la salud a identificar si usted tiene un mayor riesgo de determinadas enfermedades y trastornos. Con esta información, pueden tomar decisiones informadas para su atención, desde recomendar tratamientos o diagnósticos concretos hasta ayudarle a planear cambios en el estilo de vida que le ayudarán a mantenerse bien. Antes de su próxima visita, reúna toda la información que pueda para compartirla con su médico.

2. Sea sincero. Es probable que el médico le pregunte acerca de hábitos de salud tales como el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y drogas, así como la cantidad de ejercicio que hace. Es importante ser sincero y preciso al responder a estas preguntas. Pregúntele al médico si usa tabaco, drogas o alcohol, y si necesita ayuda para dejarlos.

3. Haga una lista. Incluso si sólo va a hacerse una revisión periódica, haga una lista de las cosas que quiere comentar durante su consulta y llévela a la cita. Los temas pueden incluir síntomas que haya experimentado, dolencias que haya sufrido y más.

4. Hágase análisis. Pregúntele a su médico acerca de los tamices de salud necesarios en función de su edad, sexo y otros factores de riesgo, lo que incluye su historial familiar.

Healthfinder.gov es un buen recurso para encontrar los servicios preventivos recomendados.

5. Descubra cuál es su riesgo y actúe. Hable

con su médico sobre el riesgo de padecer diabetes de tipo 2. Antes de la consulta, puede realizar una prueba gratuita de autodetección en línea en DoIHavePrediabetes.org para saber si tiene prediabetes. Durante la visita, el médico tendrá que confirmar un diagnóstico de prediabetes y puede ayudarle a desarrollar un plan individualizado para evitar que avance hasta ser diabetes de tipo 2.

6. Vacúnese. Hable con su médico sobre la importancia de la vacunación. Muchas vacunaciones requieren refuerzos después de que pase un tiempo. Asegúrese de estar al día en sus vacunaciones.

7. Obtenga ayuda. Dígale a su médico si se ha estado sintiendo mal y cree que podría estar sufriendo de depresión.

8. Conozca sus números. Haga el seguimiento de datos de su salud tales como su estatura, peso, índice de masa corporal y presión arterial a fin de compartir las tendencias con su médico y tomar medidas de ser necesario. Visite LowerYourHBP.org para conocer los números de su presión arterial y los riesgos de la presión arterial alta no controlada, también conocida como «hipertensión», que alteran la vida, y encuentre una lista de preguntas para hacerle a su médico con objeto de controlar su presión arterial.

Al estar preparado con las preguntas y la información correctas, puede aprovechar al máximo su próxima consulta médica.

exico City - As people approach a three-story building on Mexico City's west side, words are heard that come from other latitudes: men and women in the typical dress of Islamic countries speak in foreign tongues, people greet each other with the words "Salaam-alaikum" (Peace be unto you, in Arabic).

Anyone of any religion is welcome at the Muslim Community Educational Center, where they may take part in the different Islamic activities.

Inside the building, the impression of being whisked away to the Middle East is complete when the muezzin calls the faithful to prayer with the phrase "Allahu-akbar" (God is great), after which the imam gives his sermon, first in Arabic and then in Spanish In Mexico, a small but active Muslim community has carved out a niche where their unity may be protected in a country where its members are a minority, a microcosm of the Islamic world that reflects the diversity of its members origins.

the atmosphere of Ramadan in non-Islamic countries is nothing like in Muslim nations," he said.

"So we have tried, as founders, to create the environment of our native lands that we miss so much," Louahabi added.

He said that Muslims started bringing food and getting together to break their fasts, and gradually the word spread. "Then the embassies heard what was happening that they started bringing food as well," he said.

The more they emulated the atmosphere of their native lands, the less they missed them, according to the sheik.

That feeling is obvious at the Educational Center, a place of worship founded in 2001 by immigrants, which also gives classes in integration and subjects related to Islam.

During the daily prayers at the center, the faithful follow the imam's sermon attentively, united in their faith despite their diverse origins.

While the Statistics Institute has just 3,760 Muslims on record in the country based on the 2010 census, the community's own estimates indicate there are some 12,000, according to Sheik Said Louahabi, head of the Educational Center in the capital's Polanco district.

"The nature of the mosque we have at the Educational Center reflects the origins of people from Africa, Europe and Asia. We have Muslims from Indonesia, Malaysia, Albania, France, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and Palestine.

We have Muslims from everywhere," Moussa Youssef, a member of the center, told EFE recently.

"When I got here in 1994 there were 88 of us, including the diplomats. The truth is we've grown incredibly," the sheik of Moroccan origin told EFE.

He noted that there are also local Muslims among the 2,000 to 3,000 faithful who attend the center. "The great majority are Mexicans," he said.

He said that Muslim immigrants have created a world where they can practice their faith almost as if they were in their countries of origin.

For Youssef, a native of Egypt, Mexico is a favorable land for practicing Islam, thanks to certain cultural similarities and the religious tolerance of the Latin American nation.

This can be observed particularly during Ramadan, the ninth month on the Islamic calendar (and which this year lasts from May 5 to June 4), when Muslims abstain from eating and drinking during the day and break their fast at nightfall.

"The significance of Ramadan for Muslims is above all to comply with this, one of the five pillars of Islam," the sheik said.

He added that the other four are the profession of faith, daily prayers, charity toward the poor, and the pilgrimage to Mecca.

According to Louahabi, when he came to Mexico the Muslims missed the way they practiced their religion in the lands of their birth.

"We found work, thanks be to God, and we found physical, bodily happiness. But we did not find spiritual happiness because

Sheik Louahabi said that all Muslims in Mexico try to be united under the concept that there is but one God and Muhammad is his prophet.

But he acknowledged that sects exist "for their own interests."

"That is why we are not perfectly united," he said.

For that reason, when he gives a sermon he tells the faithful that if anyone asks them to what religion they belong, they must simply answer: Islam.

"But if they are asked, 'Are you Shiite? Are you Sunni? Are you Ibadi?' I tell them to answer, "I am Muslim,' because the prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) said 'You are called Muslims.' We all follow the same path, the religion of the prophet Muhammad," he said.

iudad de México - A medida que las personas se acercan a un edificio de tres pisos en el lado oeste de la Ciudad de México, se escuchan palabras que vienen de otras latitudes: hombres y mujeres en la vestimenta típica de los países islámicos hablan en lenguas extranjeras, la gente saluda entre sí con las palabras "Salaam-alaikum" (La paz sea con ustedes, en árabe).

Cualquier persona de cualquier religión es bienvenida en el Centro Educativo de la Comunidad Musulmana, donde pueden participar en las diferentes actividades islámicas.

Dentro del edificio, la impresión de ser llevado a Oriente Medio es completa cuando el muecín llama a los fieles a la oración con la frase "Allahuakbar" (Dios es grande), después de lo cual el imán da su sermón, primero en árabe y entonces en español En México, una pequeña pero activa comunidad musulmana ha creado un nicho donde su unidad puede ser protegida en un país donde sus miembros son una minoría, un microcosmos del mundo islámico que refleja la diversidad de los orígenes de sus miembros.

Mientras que el Instituto de Estadísticas tiene solo 3,760 musulmanes registrados en el país según el censo del 2010, las estimaciones de la comunidad indican que hay unos 12,000, según Sheik Said Louahabi, jefe del Centro Educativo en el distrito de Polanco de la capital.

"Cuando llegué aquí en 1994 éramos 88, incluidos los diplomáticos. La verdad es que hemos crecido increíblemente", dijo el jeque de origen marroquí a EFE. Dijo que los inmigrantes musulmanes han creado un mundo donde pueden practicar su fe casi como si estuvieran en sus países de origen.

Esto se puede observar particularmente durante Ramadán, el noveno mes en el calendario islámico (y que este año dura del 5 de mayo al 4 de junio), cuando los musulmanes se abstienen de comer y beber durante el día y rompen su ayuno al anochecer.

"La importancia del Ramadán para los musulmanes es sobre todo cumplir con esto, uno de los cinco pilares del Islam", dijo el jeque.

Añadió que los otros cuatro son la profesión de fe, las oraciones diarias, la caridad hacia los pobres y la peregrinación a La Meca.

Según Louahabi, cuando vino a México, los musulmanes se perdieron la forma en que practicaban su religión en las tierras donde nacieron.

"Encontramos

trabajo,

gracias

a

Dios,

y

encontramos felicidad física y física. Pero no encontramos felicidad espiritual porque la atmósfera de Ramadán en los países no islámicos no se parece en nada a las naciones musulmanas", dijo.

"Así que hemos intentado, como fundadores, crear el ambiente de nuestras tierras nativas que extrañamos tanto", agregó Louahabi.

Dijo que los musulmanes comenzaron a traer comida y se juntaron para romper sus ayunos, y gradualmente se corrió la voz. "Entonces las embajadas escucharon lo que estaba sucediendo y también comenzaron a traer comida", dijo.

Cuanto más emulaban la atmósfera de sus tierras nativas, menos los extrañaban, según el jeque.

Ese sentimiento es obvio en el Centro Educativo, un lugar de culto fundado en 2001 por inmigrantes, que también da clases de integración y temas relacionados con el Islam.

Durante las oraciones diarias en el centro, los fieles siguen atentamente el sermón del imán, unidos en su fe a pesar de sus diversos orígenes.

"La naturaleza de la mezquita que tenemos en el Centro Educativo refleja los orígenes de personas de África, Europa y Asia. Tenemos musulmanes de Indonesia, Malasia, Albania, Francia, Argelia, Marruecos, Egipto y Palestina.

Tenemos musulmanes de todas partes, "Moussa Youssef, miembro del centro, dijo a EFE recientemente.

Señaló que también hay musulmanes locales entre los 2,000 a 3,000 fieles que asisten al centro. "La gran mayoría son mexicanos", dijo.

Para Youssef, un nativo de Egipto, México es una tierra favorable para practicar el Islam, gracias a ciertas similitudes culturales y la tolerancia religiosa de la nación latinoamericana.

El jeque Louahabi dijo que todos los musulmanes en México intentan unirse bajo el concepto de que hay un solo Dios y que Mahoma es su profeta. Pero reconoció que las sectas existen "para sus propios intereses".

"Es por eso que no estamos perfectamente unidos", dijo.

Por esa razón, cuando da un sermón, le dice a los fieles que si alguien les pregunta a qué religión pertenecen, simplemente deben responder: el Islam.

"Pero si se les pregunta: '¿Eres chiíta? ¿Eres sunita? ¿Eres ibadi?' Les digo que respondan: "Soy musulmán", porque el profeta Ibrahim (Abraham) dijo: "Ustedes son llamados musulmanes". "Todos seguimos el mismo camino, la religión del profeta Mahoma", dijo.

COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA, CITY OF SAN JOSÉ RELEASE RESULTS OF 2019 HOMELESS CENSUS Regional homeless population has grown significantly as nearly three new people seek assistance for each person who exits homelessness; signs of progress in housing families and veterans

funds toward 19 housing developments that will collectively add 1,437 apartments for the most vulnerable in our community.”

The County of Santa Clara’s overall homeless count was 9,706, which is an increase of 2,312 over 2017. In San José, the overall homeless count was 6,172, which is an increase of 1,822 over 2017.

“Despite our collective efforts to house more than 6,900 homeless neighbors in the last three years, for every person we bring in from the cold, the economy pushes three more out the door,” said Mayor Sam Liccardo.

anta Clara County, Calif. – The County of Santa Clara and City of San José announced this month its preliminary results of the biennial homeless census covering the County’s 15 cities and unincorporated areas. The count, conducted over two days in January 2019, found the number of homeless adults increased significantly over the past two years, resulting in an increase in the region’s overall homeless population.

Together, the County and City have housed approximately 4,000 formerly homeless families and individuals since 2017. Despite these efforts, the number of newly homeless

residents continues to outpace the capacity of County and City systems to place people in stable housing. Nearly three new people are seeking assistance from the County for each person who exits homelessness.

“The reasons for homelessness are many and varied,” said Joe Simitian, President of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.

“The high cost and shortage of housing are making a bad problem worse. Combining our efforts to prevent homelessness and create supportive housing with 2016 Measure A – Affordable Housing Bond – funds will continue to be an essential strategy in addressing homelessness. So far, the County has committed $234 million of Measure A

“We must double down on homelessness prevention and, in turn, alleviate the human misery and greater public cost following an eviction notice. It’s also time to end the reign of the NIMBY in Silicon Valley.

We all have a shared responsibility to address this crisis — every city and every neighborhood. That means we must house homeless neighbors here, not the proverbial ‘somewhere else’.”

In Santa Clara County, the 2019 census found the number of homeless family members was 921, down from 1075 in 2017. The number of homeless veterans was 653, down slightly from 660 in 2017.

The census found the number of homeless family members in San José was 313, down from 340 in 2017. The number of homeless veterans was 476, up slightly from 468 in 2017.

To address the rise of homelessness, the County and City are focused on building deeply affordable housing. The County has prioritized development of housing for residents experiencing homelessness and

households making less than 30 percent of Area Median Income. The San José City Council recently approved allocating 45 percent of the City’s investments in permanent affordable housing for extremely-low-income residents.

The 2019 census found the numbers also increased for chronically homeless and the unsheltered population.

• Countywide, the number of chronically homeless was 2,470, an increase of 373 over 2017. The percentage of homeless county residents who were unsheltered was 82 percent, up from 74 percent in 2017.

And the number of unaccompanied youth and young adults was 1,876. While this figure was down from 2017, the decline was due in part to a change in methodology for counting young people.

• In San José, the number of people considered chronically homeless was 1,579, an increase of 374 over 2017. The percentage of homeless residents who were unsheltered was 83 percent, up from 74 percent in 2017. And the number of unaccompanied youth and young adults was 1,391. This was down from 2017.

However, as with the County, the decline was due to a change in methodology.

“Now is the time to redouble our efforts to solve this crisis,” said Jennifer Loving, Chief Executive Officer of Destination: Home. “The solutions are right here in front of us - we just need to mobilize the collective will and resources to scale our proven strategies and meet the enormous need in our community. Bottom line: homelessness is solvable.”

CALIFORNIA CALLS ON GOATS TO PREVENT WILDFIRES

an Anselmo, CA Durante siglos, las cabras han sido los mejores aliados de la humanidad para prevenir los incendios forestales, y ahora California cuenta con ellos para ayudar a evitar las enormes y destructivas llamas que cada verano parece empeorar.

Después del devastador incendio de Tubbs que en 2017 cobró 22 vidas y arrasó una gran parte de las regiones vitivinícolas de Napa y Sonoma, sus vecinos en el condado de Marin al norte de San Francisco decidieron llegar a la raíz del problema, por lo que no hay nada como eso ocurriría cerca de donde vivían, que es cuando trajeron las cabras.

Desde entonces, 1.200 cabras se han alimentado cada primavera en las escarpadas laderas del Condado de Marin con una misión muy clara: crear un cortafuegos de 200 hectáreas (490 acres) de unos 20 km (12mi) de largo.

"Los llamamos bomberos de cuatro patas, realmente lo hacemos.

Están contribuyendo en gran medida a la seguridad de la comunidad, están contribuyendo a reducir el cambio climático con el tiempo. Son muy populares aquí en la comunidad", Todd Lando, un bombero retirado y coordinador ejecutivo de FIRESafe MARIN, dijo a EFE.

Aunque este es un método antiguo que todavía se practica en muchas partes del mundo, como el Mediterráneo, África y América Latina, el pastoreo de cabras para "limpiar" los bosques de malezas y prevenir incendios casi nunca ha ocurrido en los Estados Unidos. así que el condado de Marin tiene que traer cabreros del extranjero.

Lando dijo que habían analizado alternativas para crear un gran cortafuegos libre de vegetación combustible de una manera que fuera efectiva y no prohibitivamente costosa.

El transporte y mantenimiento de más de 1,000 cabezas de ganado en un área principalmente residencial no es tarea fácil y requirió la cooperación de varias entidades, incluyendo el Departamento de Bomberos, ranchos, una escuela privada y el cineasta George Lucas, quien tiene una finca aquí.

Lando también señaló los beneficios que aportan las cabras al medio ambiente y el cumplimiento de los objetivos que California ha establecido para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, ya que en caso de que no se utilicen estos animales, se requerirá maquinaria motorizada para hacer el mismo trabajo.

"Son tranquilos, son muy fáciles en la tierra. Y lo que encontramos es que, al año siguiente, las áreas que han sido pastoreadas vuelven a crecer aún más bellamente,

con más flores silvestres y una vegetación más verde y exuberante que lo que vimos antes. Así que, realmente tienen un beneficio estético para la comunidad y un beneficio de seguridad ", dijo.

FIRESafe MARIN utiliza modelos diseñados por computadora para determinar dónde es más probable que comiencen los incendios, de qué manera es probable que se propaguen las llamas una vez que estallen, y qué comunidades humanas se verán afectadas, información que se utiliza para decidir dónde enviar las cabras despejar la tierra.

an Anselmo, CA For centuries, goats have been the best allies of humanity in preventing wildfires, and now California is counting on them to help ward off the enormous, destructive blazes that every summer seem to get worse.

After the devastating Tubbs Fire that in 2017 took 22 lives and laid waste to a large part of the wine-growing regions of Napa and Sonoma, their neighbors in Marin County north of San Francisco decided to get to the root of the problem so nothing like that would ever happen near where they lived, which is when they brought in the goats.

Since then, 1,200 goats have fed every springtime on the steep mountainsides of Marin County with a very clear mission - to create a 200-hectare (490-acre) firebreak some 20km (12mi) long.

"We call them four-legged firefighters, we really do.

They are contributing greatly to the safety of the community, they are contributing to reducing climate change over time.

They are extremely popular here in the community," Todd Lando, a retired firefighter and executive coordinator of FIRESafe MARIN, told EFE. Though this is an ancient method that is still practiced in many parts of the world, such as the Mediterranean, Africa and Latin America, the grazing of goats to

"clean" woodlands of weeds and prevent fires has scarcely ever occurred in the United States, so Marin County has to bring in goatherds from abroad.

Lando said they had analyzed alternatives for creating a large firebreak free of combustible vegetation in a way that would be effective and not prohibitively expensive.

The transport and maintenance of more than 1,000 head of livestock in a mostly residential area is no easy task and required the cooperation of multiple entities including the Fire Department, ranches, a private school and filmmaker George Lucas, who has an estate here.

Lando also noted the benefits goats bring to the environment and for meeting the objectives California has set to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,

for in case these animals are not used, motorized machinery would be required to do the same job.

"They are quiet, they're very easy on the land. And what we find is, the following year the areas that have been grazed grow back even more beautifully, with more wildflowers and greener lush vegetation than what we saw before. So, they really have an aesthetic benefit to the community and a safety benefit," he said.

FIRESafe MARIN uses computer-devised models to determine where fires are most likely to start, which way the flames are likely to spread once they break out, and which human communities will be affected, information that is used to decide where to send the goats to clear the land.

EARTHTALK Q&A WHAT IS SO-CALLED FOREST THERAPY?

orest therapy uses immersion in nature to help soothe frayed nerves and restore a sense of mental well-being — and has even been shown to boost our immune systems and help us recover faster from physical maladies. The modern forest therapy movement is rooted in the Shinrin-yoku “forest bathing” practice developed in Japan in the 1980s that has since become a central part of preventative health care and healing in Japanese medicine.

“There are an infinite number of healing activities that can be incorporated into a walk in a forest or any other natural area,” reports the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy Guides and Programs (ANFT), which trains students to become certified forest therapists. “An activity is likely to be healing when it makes room for listening, for quiet and accepting presence, and for inquiry through all eight of the sensory modes we possess.”

Practitioners insist that forest therapy is rooted in science, citing dozens of research papers documenting the healing powers of something as simple as a stroll in the woods.

According to ANFT, forest bathing seems to significantly mitigate the root cause of a multitude of ailments: stress. Given the role of stress in everything from headaches, high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, asthma, arthritis and other health problems, forest therapy could be an important part of staying or getting healthy.

decreased in test subjects after a walk in the forest, when compared with a control group of subjects who engaged in walks within a laboratory setting,” adds ANFT. “Forest bathing catalyzes increased parasympathetic nervous system activity which prompts rest, conserves energy, and slows down the heart rate while increasing intestinal and gland activity.”

The research bears out the theory: the average concentration of salivary cortisol — a stress hormone — in people who gazed out at forest scenery for 20 minutes was 13.4 percent lower than those in urban settings. Meanwhile, leisurely forest walks were measurably

better than urban walks at reducing cortisol levels and sympathetic nerve activity and decreasing blood pressure and heart rate.

Meanwhile, other research shows we are better at creative problem-solving after time spent in the wilderness. Additionally, nature immersion has been linked to an increase in immunity boosting “killer T” cells, which the body uses to stave off infections and even possibly to fight the growth of cancer cells.

While anyone can take a hike through the woods and indulge in their own form of forest bathing, going with a guide can make the experience that much more meaningful. And you no longer have to go to Japan to find

ACTOR AND MUSICIAN MYSTIC INSCHO FROM MUSICAL “SCHOOL OF ROCK” TALKS ABOUT HIS INSPIRATIONS, AND WHY KIDS WILL LOVE THE SHOW BASED ON THE 2003 JACK BLACK FILM

Mystic Inscho (Right) plays the guitar as Zack in “School of Rock”.

W

Arturo Hilario El Observador

hen Jack Black’s music-heavy film “School of Rock” was released, Mystic Inscho was negative six years old. That’s not actually how time and age works, but it is impressive to see that the nine-year-old is channeling rock star antics in his performances both on and off the theater stage.

Multi-instrumental, fluent in mandarin, (Inscho is half Chinese), Inscho has been on stage since the age of four.

In the show Inscho plays Zack, one of the lead child characters who plays the guitar.

The musical, like the film, revolves around a slacker musician turned music teacher at a prestigious school - by lying to get the job.

At Horace Green Prep, Dewey Finn (Jack Black in the film) teaches his students to essentially break out of their molds and become a rag tag band.

Inscho recently answered some questions relating to his experiences and thoughts on the musical that has been described as one that portrays how music empowers children and adults.

Hi Mystic, I wanted to start off by learning a bit about yourself. What inspired you to get into acting and playing music?

Well I started playing piano when I was about five years old, and then I wanted to do more, so then I started dancing and then my mom, she wanted me to do more too so then I felt inspired to do other stuff, so she got me a mini guitar and then I didn’t particularly like it but then she sent me into a lesson and I played more. Then I got to really enjoy playing it [and] got a real look into it. Then I started playing drums and guitar, and here I am.

Do you prefer playing any one instrument? Are you more fond of guitars?

I like all of them. My favorite would be guitar, but I love all of them.

Could you tell me a little bit about what sort of music you compose? What sort of things are you writing about?

I write stuff about the tour, about different cities. I haven’t been doing that for a while, but I want to get back to it. So, I write stuff about travel days, I write about shows, how enthusiastic audiences are, all kinds of stuff.

When you became part of “School of Rock”, had you heard of it beforehand?

Had you watched the movie it’s based on?

No I hadn’t watched the movie before but I [had] heard it was a movie, I heard it was a play, when I got the audition call I watched the Broadway version of it and it seemed really cool so I sent in a tape. After I got it, on a flight, since the planes have screens, I watched [the movie]. So, I watched the movie about halfway through the tour.

Do you think there’s a lot of differences you notice from the movie and the play?

There’s different music, there’s new songs, and there’s different people and [they] have different personalities so it changes up the show a lot.

Could you talk about your character of Zack in the show? What does he do and what is he like?

So, he is a boy whose very shutout by his dad because his dad is always working on his phone, calling people, telling them to do stuff, and his dad never has time for him.

So, his dad sends him to Horace Green and he really feels left out. [But] when Dewey comes in, Dewey teaches [Zack] to really get out of his shell and stand up to his dad, and he just really rocks out in the end.

What is it like being on a stage in front of a large audience, acting and playing guitar?

If there was one word to describe it, I would describe it as fun, because I’ve been doing theater for half of my life and I’ve really enjoyed it. [Also] I’ve never gotten anything this big, so I was scared at first but then I kind of got used to it after five shows and then I started to like it. And it’s just fantastic.

Would you say you have a favorite moment in the show?

The moment would be [the songs] “You’re in the Band” or “Teacher’s Pet”. I

like “Teacher’s Pet” because I get a solo in the end and it’s where they all play their instruments and show their parents they can play. [I like] “You’re in the Band” because it’s when they first learn that they can play their instruments and each kid has this sort of solo you could call it, even the ensemble, like Dewey says, “Who wants to be the roadie?” and someone says, “Me!” It’s just every kid gets their spotlight for a second.

When you’re preparing to go on stage what is your day like when it comes to practicing and getting ready for the shows?

So this is like my daily schedule most of the time: I’ll wake up in the morning, have breakfast, sometimes I go to school, I eat dinner or lunch, I come back, practice guitar, play some games or watch some TV, and then I just get ready for the show and there’s not a lot of time to explore stuff, but sometimes we have off days and some time to explore the city.

And do you have a favorite city you’ve traveled to on this tour?

It’s probably Ottawa, in Canada because we were finally out of the United States and we get to explore new cultures and stuff.

What do you like best about traveling and performing?

There’s a lot of things but my favorite is going around and exploring new cities. It’s fun so I see local attractions like the zoo, [or] like in Seattle we got to see the Space Needle. Also, in our free time, I get to hang out with the other kids and play with them and chat, and that’s fun.

And now my last question - if you wanted to recommend “School of Rock” how would you do so?

I would recommend it as good for kids, good for adults, good for everyone.

Especially good for kids because it teaches them to get out of the show and if they want to do something, just go do it.

Don't be afraid of it, just go for it.
