tions, but unfortunately the proportion of those who vote, compared to the total of eligible Hispanic voters, has decreased in several electoral cycles.

on las elecciones del 3 de noviembre a la vuelta de la esquina, surge nuevamente la interrogante que se repite cíclicamente cada cuatro años sobre la participación electoral hispana: ¿Seremos decisivos en los estados donde verdaderamente importa o seremos irrelevantes? Con 32 millones de hispanas e hispanos elegibles para votar en las elecciones, equivalentes a más del 13% de todas las personas elegibles, los hispanoparlantes seremos el grupo racial o étnico más importante durante un proceso electoral en los Estados Unidos. A raíz del crecimiento progresivo de la población, cada cuatro años más latinos votan en las elecciones presidenciales, pero lamentablemente la proporción de quienes votan, comparado con el total de votantes hispanos elegibles, ha disminuido en varios ciclos electorales. En 2016, los expertos anticipaban que la retórica anti migratoria de Donald Trump detonaría un número récord de latinos deseosos en derrotarlo. Si bien es verdad que ] las cifras de participación latina aumentaron en comparación con 2012, al final de cuentas no hicieron mayor diferencia en aquellos estados que definieron la elección. En todo caso, Trump conquistó el 28% del apoyo latino, una cifra que incluso fue ligeramente mayor al voto latino por el republicano Mitt Romney cuatro años antes. Si un tema tiene el potencial de convertirse en la característica distintiva del proceso electoral 2020 es sin duda la pandemia del COVID-19 y sus secuelas de desempleo, en momentos que la mitad de la comunidad latina ha reportado despidos o reducciones de pago A 11 semanas de las elecciones con un 70% de los latinos desaprueban el manejo presidencial de la crisis sanitaria, lo que representa un incremento respecto del 56% existente en el mes de mayo, de acuerdo con una nueva encuesta de Latino Decisions/Unidos US. Conforme nos acercamos en la recta final hacia las elecciones, los latinos parecen estar más entusiasmados en votar. Un 69% de los latinos entrevistados dijeron estar seguros que votarían el 3 de noviembre, un aumento de siete puntos porcentuales respecto de mayo. De materializarse el entusiasmo, los latinos podrían ser decisivos en ocho estados campo de batalla donde la proporción de hispanos elegibles a votar en 2020 es mayor que margen de victoria en 2016: Arizona, Carolina del Norte, Colorado, Florida, Pensilvania, Texas, Nevada y Nuevo México. En al menos 4 de esos estados, Joe Biden aventaja a Trump.

Si asumimos como correcto el estimado de qué hasta 18 millones de latinos elegibles aún no se han registrado, es explicable el afán de numerosas organizaciones como Poder Latinx, Mi LULAC, Mi Familia Vota, Voto Latino y otras de que este universo de votantes elegibles se registre, verifique su registro y vote, de preferencia anticipadamente y por correo.

In 2016, experts anticipated that Donald Trump's anti-immigration rhetoric would detonate a record number of Latinos eager to defeat him. While it is true that Latino participation figures increased compared to 2012, in the end they did not make much difference in those states that defined the election. In any event, Trump won 28% of Latino support, a figure that was even slightly higher than the Latino vote for Republican Mitt Romney four years earlier. If an issue has the potential to become the hallmark of the 2020 electoral process, it is undoubtedly the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath of unemployment, at a time when half of the Latino community has reported layoffs or pay cuts Eleven weeks before the elections, 70% of Latinos disapprove of the presidential handling of the health crisis, which represents an increase over the 56% that existed in May, according to a new poll by Latino Decisions / Unidos US. As we get closer to the home stretch toward the election, Latinos seem to be more excited to vote. 69% of the Latinos interviewed said they were sure they would vote on November 3, an increase of seven percentage points over May. If enthusiasm materializes, Latinos could be decisive in eight battleground states where the proportion of Hispanics eligible to vote in 2020 is greater than the margin of victory in 2016: Arizona, North Carolina, Colorado, Florida, Pennsylvania, Texas, Nevada, and New Mexico. In at least 4 of those states, Joe Biden leads Trump. If we assume as correct the estimate that up to 18 million eligible Latinos have not yet registered, It makes sense that the desire of numerous organizations such as Poder Latinx, Mi LULAC, Mi Familia Vota, Voto Latino and others that this key group of eligible voters be registered, verified in registration and vote, preferably in advance and by mail. Technology is helping. In the campaign of La Red Hispana you only need to send a text message with the word VOTAMOS to 52886 to start the registration or verification process for free. Never before has the opportunity existed to stop being spectators and become protagonists, literally at the reach of our fingertips. For more information visit www.laredhispana.com.

INNEAPOLIS - Un nuevo estudio refuerza los datos que muestran que los grupos minoritarios se ven afectados de manera desproporcionada por la propagación del coronavirus. La última investigación analizó las tasas de hospitalización en 12 estados, incluido Minnesota. El estudio fue dirigido por el profesor Pinar KaracaMandic de la Escuela de Administración Carlson de la Universidad de Minnesota. Ella dijo que en los estados que fueron examinados, los residentes negros fueron hospitalizados por COVID-19 a tasas muy por encima de su proporción de la población.

encontró que los residentes negros representaron casi el 25% de las hospitalizaciones, mientras que solo representan alrededor del 7% de la población del estado. Los investigadores dicen que encontraron resultados similares para residentes latinos y nativos americanos en la mayoría de los estados que formaron parte del estudio. Los residentes blancos fueron hospitalizados a una tasa menor en relación con su proporción de la población. Los investigadores dicen que en muchas partes del país es difícil encontrar un trasfondo racial más completo de los casos de hospitalización por COVID-19. Y Karaca-Mandic dijo que sus hallazgos subrayan la necesidad de que otros estados proporcionen esta información.

"Para comprender completamente el panorama y diseñar soluciones efectivas, y nuevamente, estas soluciones deberán variar según los diferentes estados, necesitamos este tipo de datos de los 50 estados", dijo. El estudio no ofrece un factor que contribuya a las tasas más altas de estos grupos raciales. Pero Karaca-Mandic y otros sospechan que los problemas de acceso a la atención médica y las condiciones de salud subyacentes juegan un papel importante. Los investigadores también han notado que las personas de color están representadas de manera desproporcionada en la industria de servicios, trabajos que pueden conllevar un mayor riesgo de exposición al virus.

INNEAPOLIS -- A new study reinforces data that show minority groups are disproportionately affected by the spread of the coronavirus. The latest research looked at hospitalization rates in 12 states, including Minnesota. The study was led by Professor Pinar KaracaMandic at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management. She said in the states that were examined, Black residents were hospitalized for COVID-19 at rates well above their share of the population.

She said because the rate of testing doesn't tell the whole story when it comes to overall infections, hospitalizations are a more reliable way to identify racial gaps. "It does provide us a more objective view of the impact and the severity of the disease," KaracaMandic said. "We're also able to figure out are there differences in people who are experiencing this disease in a severe way that they also show up in the hospitals." In Minnesota, the study found Black residents made up nearly 25% of hospitalizations, while only accounting for around 7% of the state's popula-

tion. Researchers say they found similar results for Latinx and Native American residents in most of the states that were part of the study. White residents were hospitalized at a lower rate relative to their share of the population. The researchers say a more complete racial background of COVID-19 hospitalization cases is hard to come by in many parts of the country. And Karaca-Mandic said their findings underscore the need for other states to provide this information. "To fully understand the picture and to design effective solutions - and again, these solutions will need to vary by different states - we need this kind of data from all 50 states," she said. The study doesn't offer a contributing factor for the higher rates for these racial groups. But KaracaMandic and others suspect health care access issues and underlying health conditions play a significant role. Researchers have also noted that people of color are disproportionately represented in the service industry, jobs which can carry an increased risk of exposure to the virus.

"Nos proporciona una visión más objetiva del impacto y la gravedad de la enfermedad", dijo KaracaMandic. "También podemos averiguar si existen diferencias entre las personas que padecen esta enfermedad de forma grave y que también aparecen en los hospitales". En Minnesota, el estudio

realize that it's possible to ask for additional financial aid to cover things like child care.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Students over age 25 - who make up one-third of the college population - have much higher living expenses, take longer to graduate and rack up more debt, according to a new report.

He encouraged all students to meet with the financial aid counselor at their school, and take full advantage of all programs available.

A new study from the Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality finds students at four-year colleges pay two-and-a-half times more for living expenses than they do for tuition, and those at two-year colleges pay four times as much. Brendan Williams, senior director of knowledge at 'uAspire,' a nonprofit organization that focuses on college affordability, said many schools are doing what they can to help. "Colleges are opening up food pantries on campus, finding ways to subsidize housing," Williams said. "They're reducing those book costs. They're subsidizing transportation. There's a lot of things that colleges are doing to try and help with these indirect expenses." The research found older students are much more likely to be married and have children to support. So, since they often have to work while going to school, it takes them longer to complete college, and they accumulate more debt in the process. Williams noted the cost-of-attendance estimates typically found on college websites can be off by between $2,000 and $6,000 a year for older students. "So, I think there needs to be a reexamination of cost of attendance, and really thinking of the best way to apply it to what students look like today," Williams said. He added many older students also don't

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - Los estudiantes mayores de 25 años, que representan un tercio de la población universitaria, tienen gastos de vida mucho más altos, tardan más en graduarse y acumulan más deudas, según un nuevo informe.

Un nuevo estudio del Georgetown Center on Poverty and Inequality encuentra que los estudiantes de universidades de cuatro años pagan dos veces y media más por los gastos de subsistencia que por la matrícula, y los de las universidades de dos años pagan cuatro veces más. Brendan Williams, director senior de conocimiento en 'uAspire', una organización sin fines de lucro que se enfoca en la asequibilidad universitaria, dijo que muchas escuelas están haciendo lo que pueden para ayudar. "Las universidades están abriendo despensas de alimentos en el campus, encontrando formas de subsidiar la vivienda", dijo Williams. "Están reduciendo los costos de los libros. Están subsidiando el transporte. Hay muchas cosas que las universidades están haciendo para tratar de ayudar con estos gastos indirectos". La investigación encontró que los estudiantes mayores tienen muchas más probabilidades de estar casados y tener hijos que mantener. Entonces, dado que a menudo tienen que trabajar mientras van a la escuela, les toma más tiempo completar la universidad y acumulan más deudas en el proceso. Williams señaló que las estimaciones del costo de asistencia que se encuentran típicamente en los sitios web de las universidades pueden estar entre $ 2,000 y $ 6,000 al año para estudiantes mayores. "Entonces, creo que es necesario volver a examinar el costo de asistencia y pensar realmente en la mejor manera de aplicarlo a la apariencia actual de los estudiantes", dijo Williams. Añadió que muchos estudiantes mayores tampoco se dan cuenta de que es posible solicitar ayuda financiera adicional para cubrir cosas como el cuidado infantil. Animó a todos los estudiantes a reunirse con el consejero de ayuda económica de su escuela y aprovechar al máximo todos los programas disponibles. La Fundación Lumina proporcionó apoyo para este informe.

AAA

ALNUT CREEK, Calif. – AAA Northern California wants to help drivers outsmart life by unveiling the most common reasons members are running into trouble on the road.

A review of data from AAA Northern California’s emergency roadside assistance and AAA Auto Repair Centers reveals battery issues are plaguing drivers across the state. In May and June of 2020, AAA Northern California saw a 34% increase in roadside assistance calls for battery service compared to the same time in 2019. That's equal to about 28,000 more calls in 2020. AAA Auto Repair Centers across the west have also seen battery services increase 23 percent since stay-at home orders were enacted. All other calls for service including flat tires, vehicle lockouts and tows declined compared to last year. “Many vehicles have sat idle in driveways and garages since directives to stay at home were enacted,” said Sergio Avila, spokesperson for AAA Northern California. “As drivers get behind the wheel, we’re seeing the impact of that idling.” The coronavirus pandemic has also caused drivers to forego routine vehicle maintenance. AAA Auto Repair Center data reveals a 17 percent drop in vehicle maintenance services since mid March. Vehicles typically associated with work, like trucks and SUVs, have been especially impacted by the stop-and-go of the economy. AAA Auto Repair facilities have seen repair services for these types of vehicles dramatically rise. Protect your ride before a break down To keep motorists moving, AAA Northern California is sharing five pieces of roadside wisdom that can help drivers stay safe on the road: • Drive your vehicle at least once a week for at least 30 minutes. This will help keep your battery charged. Take a longer route that you normally would when running errands to let your vehicle run more. • If you’ve postponed routine maintenance, make sure to have your vehicle inspected at a AAA Auto Repair Center or a trusted mechanic. • Check your tire pressure. Tires should be checked when your vehicle has not been driven recently. Low tire pressure can lead to blow outs, can affect handling and braking of a vehicle. • Check your fluids. Your engine, brakes, transmission, radiator, and power steering all need to have optimal fluid levels to function properly.

Proper fluid levels are essential for keeping your vehicle running smoothly. • Have a breakdown plan. If faced with a vehicle emergency, safely steer your car off the roadway. Turn on the emergency flashers to alert other drivers. Once in a safe location, request assistance from a road service provider. Under most circumstances, it is safest to remain buckled in your vehicle until help arrives. “Vehicles of all ages are susceptible to roadside trouble. Minimize your risk by being prepared and having a roadside assistance provider,” Avila said.

ALNUT CREEK, Calif. - AAA Northern California quiere ayudar a los conductores a burlar la vida al revelar las razones más comunes por las que los miembros tienen problemas en la carretera. Una revisión de los datos de la asistencia en carretera de emergencia de AAA Northern California y los centros de reparación de automóviles AAA revela que los problemas con las baterías afectan a los conductores en todo el estado. En mayo y

Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board AVISO DE AUDIENCIA PÚBLICA Y REUNIÓN Propuesta de cierre de la estación Atherton de Caltrain Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board (PCJPB, por sus siglas en inglés) llevará a cabo una audiencia pública con el fin de recibir comentarios sobre la propuesta del cierre de la estación Atherton de Caltrain. El cierre propone discontinuar el servicio de la estación Atherton y retirarla de futuros cronogramas. El 15 de enero del 2020, el Pueblo de Atherton apoyó tentativamente el cierre de la estación, de conformidad con un Acuerdo en un Memorando de Entendimiento entre ambas partes. En la actualidad, la estación solo recibe servicio los fines de semana y cada 90 minutos, con un promedio de 114 pasajeros por día. La configuración de abordaje central de la estación limita las operaciones, ya que los trenes que vienen desde la dirección opuesta deben esperar por seguridad hasta que los pasajeros aborden el tren en la estación.

“Muchos vehículos han estado inactivos en entradas y garajes desde que se promulgaron las directivas para quedarse en casa”, dijo Sergio Ávila, portavoz de AAA Northern California. "A medida que los conductores se ponen al volante, vemos el impacto de ese ralentí". La pandemia de coronavirus también ha provocado que los conductores renuncien al mantenimiento de rutina del vehículo. Los datos del AAA Auto Repair Center revelan una caída del 17 por ciento en los servicios de mantenimiento de vehículos desde mediados de marzo. Los vehículos típicamente asociados con el trabajo, como camiones y SUV, se han visto especialmente afectados por el frenazo de la economía. Las instalaciones de AAA Auto Repair han visto un aumento espectacular de los servicios de reparación para este tipo de vehículos. Proteja su vehículo antes de una avería Para mantener a los automovilistas en movimiento, AAA Northern California comparte cinco conocimientos prácticos que pueden ayudar a los conductores a mantenerse seguros en la carretera: • Conduzca su vehículo al menos una vez a la semana durante al menos 30 minutos. Esto ayudará a mantener la batería cargada. Tome una ruta más larga de la que normalmente haría cuando hace mandados para que su vehículo funcione más. • Si pospuso el mantenimiento de rutina, asegúrese de que su vehículo sea inspeccionado en un Centro de reparación de automóviles AAA o en un mecánico de confianza.

Audiencia pública Los Directores de PCJPB llevarán a cabo una audiencia pública virtual para discutir el propuesto cierre de la estación. El Consejo invita al público a participar en esta audiencia, para tratar el posible cierre de la estación de Atherton. El público puede participar mediante el enlace Zoom de Internet y/o por teléfono.

• Verifique la presión de sus neumáticos. Los neumáticos deben revisarse cuando su vehículo no haya sido conducido recientemente. La baja presión de los neumáticos puede provocar reventones y afectar el manejo y el frenado de un vehículo.

• Revise sus líquidos. El motor, los frenos, la transmisión, el radiador y la dirección asistida deben tener niveles óptimos de líquido para funcionar correctamente. Los niveles adecuados de líquido son esenciales para que su vehículo funcione sin problemas.

El publico puede enviar comentarios antes de la audiencia, mediante el formulario en línea de www.caltrain.com/athertonclosure, o por correo regular, electrónico o por teléfono: Board Secretary (Secretaría) Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board P.O.

• Tenga un plan de averías. Si se enfrenta a una emergencia del vehículo, desvíe su automóvil de la carretera de manera segura. Encienda las luces intermitentes de emergencia para alertar a otros conductores. Una vez en un lugar seguro, solicite asistencia a un proveedor de servicios de carretera. En la mayoría de las circunstancias, es más seguro permanecer abrochado en su vehículo hasta que llegue la ayuda. “Los vehículos de todas las edades son susceptibles de sufrir problemas en las carreteras. Minimice su riesgo al estar preparado y tener un proveedor de asistencia en el camino”, dijo Ávila.

ummer means something different to everyone. Some look forward to cooling off on a hot day at the beach. Others enjoy the slower pace and time to cook at home. For California avocados, the sunny season symbolizes how delicious each moment can be, thanks to the bountiful availability of the fruit at their season’s peak. The California Avocado Commission (CAC) partnered with Chef Mike Fagnoni, Co-Owner and Executive Chef at Hawks Provisions and Public House in Sacramento, CA to develop an undeniable summertime recipe. In doing so, Chef Mike combined one of New England’s iconic and classic creations, along with the Golden State’s favorite, heart-healthy superfood to create the ultimate California Avocado and Lobster Roll. “I always prioritize the freshest and most local ingredients,” said Chef Mike Fagnoni. “By marrying sweet, Maine lobster with creamy California avocados and grassy dill, I was able to create an easy but unforgettably delicious dish that can be served at any occasion.” To fully take advantage of the summer’s produce offerings, be sure to include California avocados in all your seasonal dishes. Thanks to its “nutrient boosting” qualities, California avocados helps increase the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients like vitamins A, D, K and E. California Avocado and Lobster Roll Prep time: 25 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Total time: 45 minutes Serves: 4 Ingredients: 3/4 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded and peeled 10 oz. cooked Maine lobster meat, chopped into large chunks 1/2 cup Lobster Dressing (see makeahead recipe below) 2 Tbsp. butter 4 brioche rolls, tops split, sides trimmed and toasted 8 fresh dill pluches (the frilly part of the leaves without stems) Instructions: 1. Cut eight thin slices of avocado, then dice the remaining avocado into ¾-inch pieces and set aside. 2. Place the lobster meat into a large mixing bowl and add the diced avocado and Lobster Dressing. Mix to coat, being careful not to crush the diced avocados.

Instrucciones: 1. Corte ocho rodajas finas de aguacate, luego corte el aguacate restante en trozos de ¾ de pulgada y reserve. 2. Coloque la carne de langosta en un tazón grande para mezclar y agregue el aguacate cortado en cubitos y el aderezo de langosta.

3. To toast brioche rolls, place a medium sized pan over medium heat. Add butter and place the buns cut side down, cook until lightly browned and crispy. Turn the buns over and repeat on the other side. 4. Once toasted, spoon the lobster mixture into the bun, and garnish with avocado slices and dill pluches. Lobster Dressing Yields: 1/2 cup Ingredients: 1 tsp. Dijon mustard 1 pasteurized egg yolks 1/2 clove garlic 2½ tsp. lemon juice 1/4 ripe, Fresh California Avocado, seeded and peeled 1½ Tbsp. avocado oil 1/2 tsp. fresh dill, washed and stemmed 1/4 cup celery, finely diced 1/8 tsp. salt, or to taste Lobster Dressing Instructions: 1. Place Dijon mustard, egg yolk, garlic, lemon juice and avocado in a food processor or blender, then puree ingredients together. 2. Slowly stream in avocado oil to create a smooth, creamy mixture. 3. Remove dressing from food processor and stir in fresh dill and celery. Season with salt and set aside until assembly. **Large avocados are recommended for these recipes. A large avocado averages about 8 ounces. If using smaller or larger size avocados adjust the quantity accordingly.

l verano significa algo diferente para todos. Algunos esperan poder refrescarse en un día caluroso en la playa. Otros disfrutan del ritmo más lento y el tiempo para cocinar en casa. Para los aguacates de California, la temporada soleada simboliza lo delicioso que puede ser cada momento, gracias a la abundante disponibilidad de la fruta en el pico de la temporada. La Comisión de Aguacate de California (CAC) se asoció con el chef Mike Fagnoni, copropietario y chef ejecutivo de Hawks Provisions and Public House en Sacramento, CA para desarrollar una receta de verano innegable. Al hacerlo, el chef Mike combinó una de las creaciones clásicas e icónicas de Nueva Inglaterra, junto con el superalimento saludable para el corazón favorito de Golden State para crear el mejor rollo de aguacate y langosta de California. “Siempre doy prioridad a los ingredientes más frescos y locales”, dijo el chef Mike Fagnoni. "Al casar la dulce langosta de Maine con cremosos aguacates de California y eneldo herbáceo, pude crear un plato fácil pero inolvidable y delicioso que se puede servir en cualquier ocasión". Para aprovechar al máximo las ofertas de productos del verano, asegúrese de incluir aguacates de California en todos sus platos de temporada. Gracias a sus cualidades de "refuerzo de nutrientes", los aguacates de California ayudan a aumentar la absorción de nutrientes solubles en grasa como las vitaminas A, D, K y E.

dez pointed out, the numbers continue rise in other areas - especially in the South, the Midwest and in California.

EW YORK -- Unions and environmental groups are demanding the Trump administration use the Defense Production Act to get personal protective equipment to essential workers.

"The pandemic is not over; we're not anywhere close to having it under control," she said. "And not only in health care are these supplies needed, but in other workplaces as well."

An emergency rule-making petition has been sent to the Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security. It requests a nationwide inventory, increased production and prioritized distribution of respirators, gloves, gowns and other equipment needed to protect workers from COVID-19. Micki Siegel de Hernandez is deputy director of health and safety with Communications Workers of America, which represents health-care workers. She said six months into the pandemic, there still are critical shortages. "This is well past when the DPA should have been used, making sure companies are able to produce the equipment needed and get it to the right places," de Hernandez said. The petition was filed on behalf of 30 labor and environmental organizations nationwide. While some areas of the country have drastically reduced their rates of new infections, de Hernan-

She said as long as the pandemic is spreading anywhere in the country, no one is safe from infection. Even in areas where the number of COVID patients has declined dramatically, de Hernandez noted the PPE supply for health care workers hasn't been restored to normal standards. "The national government has still not taken the steps to make sure that we are protecting people as they continue to do their jobs," she said. "And without that happening, we're just going to see more and more workers sick, and more and more workers die." The petition, filed on August 11, requests the Secretaries of Health and Human Services and Homeland Security take the requested actions within 15 days.

EARTHTALK Q&A: SATELLITES & ITS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS

EARTHTALK Q&A: LOS SATÉLITES Y SUS IMPLICACIONES AMBIENTALES

Dear EarthTalk: Elon Musk plans to put thousands of new satellites into space to blanket Earth with high speed Internet. What are the environmental implications of this? -- M. C., Atlanta. GA

utting satellites up into the ionosphere—the layer of our atmosphere extending from 50-600 miles above the surface where a high concentration of ions and free electrons facilitate the reflection of radio waves—isn’t anything new. The Soviets beat us to the punch when they launched the first satellite, Sputnik, in 1957, but these days there are over 9,000 satellites overhead, the majority from U.S. companies and government agencies. But with Elon Musk’s SpaceX poised to launch tens of thousands of new ones in the next few years, many people wonder whether putting all this technology overhead is such a good idea. One concern is that all this hardware eventually breaks down and shed parts. Peter Greenstreet of the Institute of Physics reports that this so-called “space junk” orbits at some 7.5 kilometers per second—so fast that even the tiniest pieces create a potential hazard for space stations and other manmade or natural objects making the same rounds. Greenstreet adds that space junk falling to Earth’s surface is less of a concern, given that most of it breaks down into tiny pieces due to the heat and friction encountered upon entry to our atmosphere and thus stands little to no chance of hurting any people or property below. Another environmental issue with satellite proliferation is so-called “sky pollution.” By reflecting the light of the sun, satellites cause streaks of light across the sky where astronomers would prefer darkness for peering into the heavens and where everyday people will be robbed of their own views of a dark sky. But despite these drawbacks, there are plenty of good reasons to like satellites if you care about the environment. “From the International Space Station (ISS) to hundreds of

other observational satellites, remote sensing allows for climate and environmental monitoring,” reports Daisy Gill on Earth.org. “These imaging satellites are an incredible source of data for climate change research, enabling us to see the global changes on the planet that are happening more frequently, and with data freely available for anyone to view and use.” Examples include tracking changing oceanic temperatures, currents and sea level. Satellites are also key to understanding global and local precipitation and flooding patterns, how wildfires start and spread, the distribution of wildlife populations, and other indicators of environmental health. Satellites are also useful as early warning systems for natural disasters and extreme weather events. If we can figure out ways to clean up space junk, we can use satellites with less guilt. NASA’s e.DeOrbit project is focusing on seeking out and removing satellite debris in the upper reaches of the ionosphere. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency is hard at work on its own “capture mechanisms” to pick up space debris such as nets, harpoons robotic arms and tentacles. Only time will tell if these technologies can help restore the heavens above—or at least the ionosphere—to a more pristine state.

olocar satélites en la ionosfera, la capa de nuestra atmósfera que se extiende desde 50 a 600 millas por encima de la superficie, donde una alta concentración de iones y electrones libres facilitan la reflexión de las ondas de radio, no es nada nuevo. Los soviéticos se nos adelantaron cuando lanzaron el primer satélite, Sputnik, en 1957, pero en estos días hay más de 9.000 satélites en el aire, la mayoría de las empresas estadounidenses y agencias gubernamentales. Pero con SpaceX de Elon Musk a punto de lanzar decenas de miles de nuevos en los próximos años, mucha gente se pregunta si poner toda esta tecnología por encima de la cabeza es una buena idea.

Una preocupación es que todo este hardware eventualmente se descomponga y pierda partes. Peter Greenstreet, del Instituto de Física, informa que esta llamada "basura espacial" orbita a unos 7,5 kilómetros por segundo, tan rápido que incluso las piezas más pequeñas crean un peligro potencial para las estaciones espaciales y otros objetos naturales o artificiales que hacen lo mismo. rondas. Greenstreet agrega que la basura espacial que cae a la superficie de la Tierra es menos preocupante, dado que la mayor parte se rompe en pedazos pequeños debido al calor y la fricción que se encuentran al ingresar a nuestra atmósfera y, por lo tanto, tiene poca o ninguna posibilidad de dañar a personas o propiedades. abajo.

monitoreo del clima y el medio ambiente”, informa Daisy Gill en Earth.org. “Estos satélites de imágenes son una fuente increíble de datos para la investigación del cambio climático, lo que nos permite ver los cambios globales en el planeta que están ocurriendo con más frecuencia, y con datos disponibles gratuitamente para que cualquiera pueda verlos y usarlos”. Los ejemplos incluyen el seguimiento de las temperaturas oceánicas cambiantes, las corrientes y el nivel del mar. Los satélites también son clave para comprender los patrones de precipitación e inundaciones globales y locales, cómo comienzan y se propagan los incendios forestales, la distribución de las poblaciones de vida silvestre y otros indicadores de salud ambiental. Los satélites también son útiles como sistemas de alerta temprana para desastres naturales y eventos climáticos extremos. Si podemos encontrar formas de limpiar la basura espacial, podemos usar satélites con menos culpa. El proyecto e.DeOrbit de la NASA se centra en buscar y eliminar los restos de satélites en los tramos superiores de la ionosfera. Mientras tanto, la Agencia Espacial Europea está trabajando arduamente en sus propios "mecanismos de captura" para recoger desechos espaciales como redes, arpones, brazos robóticos y tentáculos. Solo el tiempo dirá si estas tecnologías pueden ayudar a restaurar los cielos de arriba, o al menos la ionosfera, a un estado más prístino.

Otro problema ambiental con la proliferación de satélites es la llamada "contaminación del cielo". Al reflejar la luz del sol, los satélites provocan rayas de luz en el cielo donde los astrónomos preferirían la oscuridad para mirar hacia el cielo y donde la gente común se verá privada de sus propias vistas de un cielo oscuro.

Pero a pesar de estos inconvenientes, hay muchas buenas razones para que te gusten los satélites si te preocupas por el medio ambiente. “Desde la Estación Espacial Internacional (ISS) hasta cientos de otros satélites de observación, la teledetección permite el

EL CULTO A LA PACHAMAMA Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador

degustará ese día, y se quema incienso a los cuatro costados del plato, simbolizando los cuatro puntos cardinales. La comida se ofrece a la intemperie por un par de horas, durante las cuales se escucha música ritual y se hacen las respectivas peticiones. Se finaliza la conmemoración decretando bendiciones para todo el mundo. La comida, la bebida, lo que resta de las velas y el incienso, la alfombra hecha de flores y las frutillas, se entierran y con ello se completa la ceremonia.

l igual que muchas tradiciones en el mundo, el culto a la Pachamama, tiene orígenes milenarios. Sus primeros practicantes fueron los habitantes de la cordillera andina, quienes expresaban su espiritualidad y amor a nuestro planeta por medio de cultos y rituales ofrecidos a la Madre Tierra. La palabra Pachamama, proviene de las lenguas andinas <Quechua y Aymara> Pacha significa espiritualidad, existencia universal y vida. Mama, denota la madre y la fuerza creadora que hace reverdecer al mundo; por lo cual se ha definido Pachamama, como "Madre de la existencia vital".

Este ritual detalla a grandes rasgos el culto a la Pachamama. La celebración y las ofrendas a la Pachamama no tiene reglas establecidas. Su importancia radica en el reconocimiento del inmenso valor de la Tierra y la profunda identidad de los pueblos que anclan su vida en ella. Gracilaso de la Vega (1539–1616), el famoso poeta peruano también conocido como "El Inca", hace referencia del culto a la Pachamama, en su obra “Comentarios Reales de los Incas” y es considerado como uno de sus máximos precursores durante el siglo XVII.

El primero de agosto tiene un significado reverencial para el planeta Tierra. Al parecer los antiguos moradores del mundo, manifestaban un respeto muy grande por el lugar donde habitaban, ya que la flora y la fauna eran una parte esencial para su supervivencia. Este culto, se extiende durante todo el mes de agosto en el hemisferio sur y durante el mes de abril en el hemisferio norte. Infortunadamente, el respeto y devoción por la Madre Tierra, se ha ido perdiendo debido a la industrialización depredadora y al constante desinterés de las religiones y de los gobiernos. De manera similar a los indígenas andinos, los antiguos pueblos Celtas, también ofrecían cultos y rituales a la Tierra, el primer día de agosto. Esta celebración es llamada “Lammas”, la cual conforma uno de los ocho festivales solares

que aún siguen siendo celebrados por los creyentes y practicantes de la religión Wicca.

RAMÓN RODRÍGUEZ SE HACE AMIGO DE “THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN”

El actor de la última película de Disney relata la experiencia de ir a trabajar todos los días a un circo ubicado dentro de un centro comercial con Bryan Cranston y animales CGI.

Arturo Hilario El Observador

pequeño traje de elefante de color verde bebé y empezaba a comportarse y a caminar como un elefante bebé. Después de un rato, simplemente pensabas: “Sí, este es el elefante bebé.”

amón Rodríguez ha estado involucrado en programas de televisión como “The Wire” y películas taquilleras como “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, por lo que el territorio del drama y del CGI épico son conocidos para él. Con su proyecto más reciente, “The One and Only Ivan”, se adentra en el mundo de las adaptaciones de novelas para niños. De la aclamada autora Katherine Applegate, “The One and Only Ivan” es un libro premiado acerca de un gorila de lomo plateado llamado Iván quién forma parte de un circo adentro de un centro comercial, inseguro de su pasado difuso. Un elefante bebé llamado Ruby llega al circo, lo que enciende una chispa dentro de Iván que lo impulsa a investigar sobre su pasado y de paso a ayudar al elefante bebé. Rodríguez interpreta a George, un empleado del centro comercial, quien ayuda al dueño Mack (interpretado por Bryan Cranston) con el circo y queda atrapado en medio de este gran cambio en los animales. Sus co-protagonistas físicos son Bryan Cranston y Ariana Greenblatt, quien interpreta el papel de Julia, su hija. Junto con los actores físicos, “The One and Only Ivan” cuenta con los actores de doblaje Sam Rockwell como el gorila protagonista Iván, Angelina Jolie, Danny DeVito y Helen Mirren. La siguiente es una conversación con Rodríguez acerca de las ventajas y desventajas de trabajar en una película que involucró rodar todos los días dentro de un centro comercial con actores que ocupaban el lugar de los animales CGI, y también lo que significa la película en tiempos de COVID. Para empezar, ¿Podrías darme un pequeño re-

Ni siquiera lo cuestionabas y se sintió tan real que siempre cuando gritaban “corte” y la persona que interpretaba a Ruby se levantaba, nos espantamos y pensamos “espera, “¿Por qué éste elefante se levanta en sus patas traseras?” Ya sabes, estuvo genial que hubiera personas ahí que interpretaban a estos personajes con las que podíamos interactuar.

Ramón Rodríguez y Ariana Greenblatt interpretan a padre e hija en la película nueva de Disney "The One and Only Ivan". Photo Credit: Walt Disney Pictures sumen de la historia en “The One and Only Ivan”? La historia está basada en un libro escrito por Katherine Applegate con el mismo título, basado en hechos reales. Y sabes, sigue a un gorila llamado Iván que vive en un circo dentro de un centro comercial y forma parte del elenco. Y básicamente relata su historia como la estrella del show principal del circo, y a lo largo de la película él termina cuestionando su pasado, de dónde viene y descubriéndolo. Él experimenta un viaje de descubrimiento personal en el que deberá cumplir la promesa que le hizo a un elefante del show de proteger a un elefante bebé. Y en toda esta travesía aprenderá quién es realmente y de dónde viene. Conocerá su pasado. Por lo tanto, el hermoso mensaje es una historia de descubrimiento personal, arte, amistad y esperanza. Pero yo creo que es algo en lo que todos nos podemos sentir relacionados ahora, en cuanto a sentirnos encerrados y tomarnos el tiempo de introspección. ¿Me puedes contar un poco de tu personaje George? George es un muchacho que trabaja duro todos los días en el circo junto a Mack. [George] es muy leal con [él], se ocupa de todo, desde cui-

dar a los animales hasta limpiar, hasta ayudar a dirigir el show. Además tiene una hija, quién lo acompaña al trabajo y aparte tiene una esposa enferma en la casa. Tú sabes, yo creo que es un tipo humilde que intenta mantener todo unido y hace todo lo que puede para poder mantener a su familia y para apoyar a Mack. Ya ha pasado mucho tiempo con Mack y sabes, no es el tipo de persona que busca atención pero siento que muchos dependen de él; el trabajo lo necesita y su familia lo necesita. También creo que él es como una brújula moral que al final de la película tendrá que tomar una decisión difícil y lo que me encanta particularmente de él es que es un buen ejemplo para su hija y pienso que en el momento que ella le pide que tome la decisión difícil, hace lo correcto. Has participado en muchos shows icónicos de drama y en películas fascinantes. ¿Cuál es la diferencia de trabajar en una película como esta adaptación para niños y con un elenco tan diverso? Ya sabes, lo que se me hizo muy especial, fue el mensaje en general. Aparte, la película tiene esa magia de Disney que te hace sentir bien por dentro. Es conmovedora. Y

debo decir que el proceso de hacerla fue increíble. Tuvimos un elenco increíble y básicamente todos vivimos en este circo durante todo el rodaje. Rodamos todo en el centro comercial y vivimos ahí. Esto es lo más interesante porque iba a trabajar al mismo lugar todos los días. Así que desarrollé una rutina, igual que George, de ir al circo y de ir a trabajar ahí. Esto fue un aspecto muy interesante. Pero la vibra en general es muy positivo, alegre y creativo. Una parte de esto se debe a que [la directora] Thea Sharrock tiene una sensibilidad increíble y quería asegurarse que los tonos, los temas y los mensajes de esta película fueran puestos en práctica. Pero, ya sabes, entró Bryan con su energía creativa, su entusiasmo, y sus ideas y empezamos a hablar sobre las escenas. Entró Arianna con su magia infantil, asombro, esperanza y optimismo sobre su propia energía. Y simplemente fue un ambiente maravilloso. Fue, ya sabes, muy creativo. Y simplemente pasamos el rato, ya sabes, en cuanto gritaran corte, simplemente nos quedamos ahí juntos y empezamos a hablar. Jugamos muchos juegos con Arianna, como “Yo Espía” y muchas cosas divertidas. Arianna y yo desarrollamos nuestro propio apretón de

manos divertido. Y nos sentimos como una familia, ya sabes, realmente éramos una pequeña familia especial que rodaba en el centro comercial de Pinewood Studios en Londres. Fue extraño, pero muy especial. Entonces, en cuanto al rodaje con el CGI, ¿Cómo fue comparado con el trabajo que hiciste en “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” para ti, cuál fue la diferencia? Sí, lo genial fue, cómo ya habías dicho, que lo hice en un lugar dónde no había nada. Ya sabes, sólo es una pantalla verde. También lo hice en un lugar donde había un poste y una pelota de tenis y tienes que interactuar con el poste, lo que es muy raro. Y en este caso, lo estupendo fue que de verdad había gente, que eran artistas muy talentosos. La persona que interpretó a Iván era Ben Bishop. Y Ben es un actor increíble. Me ayudó mucho el hecho de que había alguien ahí, interpretando el gorila, para interactuar, lo que me hizo sentir que sí, de verdad había un gorila ahí. Ya sabes, todo el tiempo te dabas cuenta que ahí había una cosa que vive y respira justo ahí en su hábitat. También, con Ruby, el elefante bebé, hay otro doble maravilloso que se metía al

Gracias por tu tiempo Ramón. Una última pregunta. ¿Por qué recomendarías ver la película “The One and Only Ivan”? Yo la recomendaría, especialmente en estos tiempos. Creo que cuando empezamos a rodar esta película, no sabíamos que pronto nos íbamos a encontrar en la situación, la que todos estamos viviendo hoy en día, lo que significa estar en cuarentena la mayor parte del tiempo y nos tenemos que quedar en casa. E, irónicamente, yo creo podemos encontrar muchos paralelos con la historia de Iván, que está en el circo y poco a poquito va descubriendo su pasado y a dónde pertenece. Creo que el país y mucha gente que está en su casa está pasando por algo muy parecido, es un momento de introspección, de reflexionar y de pasar tiempo con la familia, o a lo mejor también de crecer y desarrollarse. Por lo tanto, creo que el mensaje de la película es muy bonito y positivo y creo que nos podría beneficiar a todos en estos momentos. Pero también tiene algunos mensajes muy profundos que en estos momentos nos parecen más importantes por todo lo que estamos viviendo. “The One and Only Ivan” se estrenará en exclusiva por Disney+ el 21 de Agosto del 2020.

RAMON RODRIGUEZ BEFRIENDS “THE ONE AND ONLY IVAN” Actor in latest Disney film breaks down his experience of going to work at a circus within a mall every day with Bryan Cranston and CGI animals

Arturo Hilario El Observador

which is weird. And in this case, what was great is we actually had people, they were incredibly talented performers. The person that played Ivan was Ben Bishop. And Ben is an amazing actor. It helped so much to have someone that was actually playing the gorilla that you could interact with that made you feel like, yeah, there's a gorilla there. You know, at all times you were aware that there was a living, breathing thing in its domain right there.

amon Rodriguez has been involved with television shows like “The Wire” and blockbuster films such as “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, so he knows his way around the drama and epic CGI territory. With his newest project, “The One and Only Ivan”, he goes into the worlds of children’s novels adaptations. From acclaimed author Katherine Applegate, “The One and Only Ivan” is an awardwinning book about a silverback gorilla named Ivan who is part of a circus inside a mall, unsure about his hazy history. A baby elephant named Ruby arrives to the circus, and from there it sparks something inside Ivan, pushing him to find out his own past and help the baby elephant as well. Rodriguez plays George, an employee at the mall who helps the owner Mack (played by Bryan Cranston) with the circus and is caught in the middle of this big change within the animals. His physical costars are Bryan Cranston and Ariana Greenblatt, who plays his daughter Julia. Along with the physical actors, “The One and Only Ivan” has the voice talents of Sam Rockwell as the lead gorilla Ivan, and Angelina Jolie, Danny DeVito and Helen Mirren. The following is a conversation with Rodriguez on the ins and outs of working on a film that involved shooting everyday inside a mall with performers acting in place of CGI animals, as well as what the film means in the time of COVID. To start off, could you give me a brief idea of the story in "The One and Only Ivan"? The story is based on a book by Katherine Applegate with the same title, which is based on real events. And, you know, it follows a gorilla that’s named Ivan that lives in a mall in the circus and is part of the circus. And it basically follows sort of his story as he's the star of the show of the main event at the circus, and how throughout the journey of the film, he ends up basically sort of questioning his story and where he's from and discovering. He has a journey of self-discovery and to keep a promise

Ramon Rodriguez stars as George in the Disney film “The One and Only Ivan”. Photo Credit: Walt Disney Pictures to an elephant in the show, he sort of promises that he's going to help protect a baby elephant. And in this whole journey, he learns who he really is and where he's from. He learns his history. And so, the beautiful message is a story about selfdiscovery and art and friendship and hope. But it's something I think that all of us can relate to right now in terms of feeling like we're captive and taking the time to sort of look within.

You have been part of many iconic drama shows and exciting films in your career. How was it different working on a film like this children’s adaptation, and with such diverse cast? I mean, you know, what was really special about it was obviously just the overall mesELO_3-34x4-75.pdf 1 sage. And, you know, this movie has that Disney magic

where it just makes you feel good inside. It's heartwarming. And I have to say the process of making it was incredible. We had a wonderful cast and we all kind of lived in this circus during the whole filming. We shot this whole thing in a mall and we lived in this mall. [It’s] kind of one of the most inter8/7/2020 4:00:36 PM esting [things] because I went to the same place every day

Can you tell me a bit about your character of George? George is an everyday, hardworking guy, who works at the circus along with Mack. [George] is incredibly loyal to [him], he runs everything from taking care of the animals to cleaning, to helping run the show. All the meanwhile, he has a daughter that he brings to work with him, and he has a sick wife at home. You know, he's someone that I feel like is very much just a humble kind of guy that's holding things together, that's doing the best he can to provide for his family to support Mack. And he's been with Mack for a long time, and, you know, he's not someone that's sort of calling for attention, but I feel like he's somebody that a lot relies on, the job needs him and his family needs him. And he's, I think, like a moral sort of compass where at the end of the film he's kind of forced to make a tough decision and what I loved about him particularly is that he's a positive role model for his daughter, and I think in that moment when she asks him to make the tough choice, he does the right thing.

for work. So, I kind of developed a routine, like George, of going to the circus and going to work and showing up there. So that aspect was really interesting. But the overall vibe is so positive and playful and creative. Part of that I think is, (Director) Thea Sharrock has a wonderful sensibility and wanted to really make sure that the tones and themes and messages of this movie were executed. But, you know, Bryan would come in with his creative energy and enthusiasm and ideas and we would talk about scenes. Arianna would come in with just that childlike magic and wonder and hope and optimism of her own energy. And it was just a wonderful vibe. It was, you know, really creative. And we all just hung out, you know, like they would yell, cut, and then we would just hang around and start talking. We played a lot of games with Arianna, like I Spy and all kinds of fun stuff. Arianna and I developed our own little fun handshake. And it was like a family, you know, really was like a special little family that was shooting in this mall that was in London in Pinewood Studios. It was bizarre, but really, really special. So, in terms of the filming with the CGI, how was that like compared to the work you did in "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", what was the difference there for you? Yeah, what was really great was, you know, like you said, I've done it where we have nothing there. You know, it's just a green screen. I've also done it where there is like a pole and a tennis ball and you have to act against the pole,

Also, with Ruby, the baby elephant, there's another wonderful stunt performer would climb into the small baby green elephant suit and he would start behaving and walking around like a baby elephant. After a while, you just sort of were like, "yeah, that's the baby elephant." You didn't even question it and it became so real that when they would yell "cut" and the person playing Ruby would stand up, it would freak us out, like “wait a minute, why is this elephant getting up on its hind legs?" You know, it was a really great to have people playing those characters that we could act off of and react to. Thanks Ramon, for your time. Now my final question. I was wondering why you would recommend "The One and Only Ivan"? I would recommend this, especially right now. I think when we first made this film, we were not going to know the situation that we're all living in today, which is [being] in quarantine for the most part, and we have to stay in our homes. And ironically, I think that really resonates and parallels a lot of what this story is about which is Ivan, who is in the circus and slowly discovers his history and where he's supposed to be. I think part of that this is what this country and what a lot of people who are home are going through, sort of being introspective and reflecting and spending time with family, maybe even growing and evolving. So, I think the message of this film [is] a beautiful, positive one, and I think we can all use some of that right now. But it also has some really deep messages that I think resonate more so now just because of what we're all dealing with. “The One and Only Ivan” debuts exclusively on Disney+ on August 21, 2020.
