important that the local HispanicLatino community members all plan to come by for a visit. La Raza Historical Society needs your support and input which provides the information needed to fill the gaps which exist.

a Raza Historical Society of Silicon Valley was organized as an IRS Section 501(c)(3) non-profit by Fernando Zazueta, esq., Ramon J. Martinez, Ph.D., and Joseph Karl Soltero with purpose of collection of family artifacts, records, and personal diaries which establish the Hispanic-Latino historical presence in Silicon Valley today.

This house is the home of the La Raza Historical Society of Santa Clara Valley, which now gives the local Hispanic-Latino community a place to go to view historical artifacts from 2:00 to 4:00 PM each Sunday when Ramon J. Martinez and his colleagues are there to be the staff which explains their displays (and guards their archives).

From 1941 to 1981 publisher Humberto Garcia (who had a printing business) supported and published El Excentrico. This publication documents the historical events plus identifies those community members who were involved in those days of yore.

Recently, Elena Robles said to me: “Our Hispanic-Latino historical presence in Santa Clara Valley does not exist because no one in our community has researched it, documented it nor written about it from our own perspective. What exists in various history books was written by White historians who left us out. But then, we have left ourselves out of the records used by historians, reporters, and journalists when writing about this community. Hispanic-Latinos have been here for at least 200 years or more. Our kids do not learn our historical heritage because schools no longer teach civics and history.”

Just recently, all the photographs taken during 1941 to 1981 by Richard Diaz, the “Photographer of the Stats was received by La Raza Historical Society as a gift. There are many photos (all are 8.5 inches x 11 inches in size. Many photos have annotations which identify the event and those persons in the photo.

Well, the current HispanicLatinos working and residing here now have a place to go to see and read about their community. This past Sunday, October 27, 2019 by invitation I attended a

However, there are many photos who present individuals whose identity needs to be established. So, plan on visiting the HispanicLatino House located in San Jose History Park to see these photos. And if you can identify an individual in those photos do tell Ramon and his colleagues. These unidentified individuals undoubtedly are your abuelos (grandparents) or other relations and friends of your family. While I was there, two youthful Latinas visited and identified their tios (uncles) much to the delight of Ramon and his colleagues. It is

One photo really tells us today a lot about the inclusion and exclusion of our community. A photo which contained three individuals, the one in the center was Humberto Garcia I, the other two individuals in this photo were Ma. Bessie and Leonard McKay, a local print shop owner & operator who used that photo in his San Jose History Book. McKay identified the two AngloSaxons in that photo, but that Mexican was never included in that photo's caption. Consuelo Rodriguez commented, “I guess we Mexicans must be spirits which are invisible'”. We are not invisible at all. It is just that Hispanic-Latinos need to be more assertive about being identified and included when appropriate. If we do not insist on that much, then we become invisible individuals who do not get recognized for the efforts and contributions made in the past and now, in the present. After

Hispanics-Latinos

amount to about 30% of the population of Santa Clara County. And many in our community can trace their family living here for several generations. Through hearsay, I am informed that Pancho Villa's wife was raised in San Jose, CA. Hispanic-Latinos have an extensive history in Santa Clara Valley along with those Native American tribes which resided here because of its mild weather, ample drinking water, and bountiful food (fowl, fish, and edible vegetation). Note that the Chiechi House was placed in the San Jose History Park because it represented a particular architectural style and could be built with local materials by local labor (Mexican and Native American skilled carpenters and stone masons). Joseph Karl Soltero wrote: The house was built for the John and Jane Campbell family in 1876 and purchased by Michael Chiechi in 1911. It was originally located in Willow Glen, on Northrup Ave and moved to History SJ park. The house was donated to History SJ by Grace Chiechi, the last surviving daughter in 1973 It has been managed by The La Raza Historical society since September 2018.' To summarize, La Raza Historical Society of Silicon Valley has become the highly visible Hispanic-Latino element. It is appropriate that this organization receive the Hispanic-Latino community support. Plan to make a contribution because it takes money to establish, sustain,

and maintain its displays of the documented contributions of the Hispanic-Latino community to the evolutionary development of Silicon Valley. Our Hispanic-Latino millennial youth need to know and understand that our community has been cultivating the soil with its knowledge of botany and agriculture, which still feeds this community. And a few HispanicLatinos, such as Raymundo Gil, developed cybernetic elements which opened up cloud computing. Unlike the WASPs, Hispanic-Latinos do not selfpromote their contributions to the evolutionary development of Silicon Valley. Next time you eat a meal, remember that potatoes came from Bolivia & Peru; maize (corn), tobacco, and yams came from the Americas; Cocaine from Columbia; and many drugs from the Amazon basin. The indigent curanderos (medicine men) and brujas (witches) had knowledge of local herbs and medicines from plants (e.g., cocaine). Learn enough to claim your rightful indigenous heritage. Fortunately, Humberto Garcia documented our community's efforts in his El Excentrico weekly publication. A complete archival edition is now located at the Chiechi House, SJ History Park, which is open to the public every Sunday, 1 to 4 PM. Plan to make a visit; then decide to make a supportive donation. Enjoy Halloween and El Dia de los Muertos.

a ley otorga a todos los gobiernos la prerrogativa de diseñar e implementar sus políticas migratorias para custodiar la integridad territorial, así como para salvaguardar el bienestar y la seguridad ciudadana, pero esa autoridad no es un cheque en blanco: existen estándares absolutos de derechos humanos para guiar que esas decisiones sean humanitarias, respetuosas de la dignidad humana y rigurosas en el cumplimiento del debido proceso para todas las personas, independientemente de su situación migratoria. Bajo ese criterio, el comité de supervisión de la Cámara de Representantes puso bajo la lupa una más de las polémicas políticas migratorias de la administración Trump: la deportación de niños críticamente enfermos y de sus familias. El pasado 7 de agosto, 420 menores y sus padres fueron notificados por la Oficina de Inmigración y Ciudadanía (USCIS) que debían salir del país o ser deportados, luego que la administración Trump decidió suspender el proceso de salida

Sin embargo, la regla actual otorga a los agentes migratorios la discrecionalidad de determinar si existen “hechos y circunstancias convincentes” para decidir el futuro de los niños críticamente enfermos y de sus familias. Para legisladores demócratas y activistas se requiere una garantía institucional que estos niños –que suman alrededor de 900 en todo el país—no serán deportados.

Aunque la presión de legisladores y activistas hizo que la administración Trump revirtiera “parcialmente” la política el 2 de septiembre y “completamente” dos semanas después, los demócratas advierten que existe confusión e incertidumbre toda vez que no está clara cuál es la nueva política y han quedado

CRUELTY UNDER THE MAGNIFYING GLASS

acting director of the USCIS, Ken Cuccinelli reconfirmed that the policy was abandoned by decision of the acting secretary of National Security Kevin McAlenaan and that all cases pending until August 7 - about 700 They were reopened. Until this week only 41 had been decided.

he law gives all governments the prerogative to design and implement their migration policies to guard territorial integrity, as well as to safeguard the well-being and citizen security, but that authority is not a blank check: there are absolute human rights standards for guide those decisions to be humanitarian, respectful of human dignity and rigorous in the fulfillment of due process for all people, regardless of their immigration status.

However, the current rule gives migratory agents the discretion to determine whether there are "convincing facts and circumstances" to decide the future of critically ill children and their families. For Democratic legislators and activists, an institutional guarantee is required that these children - totaling around 900 throughout the country - will not be deported.

Under that criterion, the House of Representatives oversight committee put under the magnifying glass one more of the Trump administration's controversial immigration policies: the deportation of critically ill children and their families. On August 7, 420 minors and their parents were notified by the Office of Immigration and Citizenship (USCIS) that they should leave the country or be deported, after the Trump administration decided to suspend the deferred exit process for all people, except immigrants in the armed forces or dreamers. "The heartless Trump administration's decision to threaten the deportation of sick children to their home countries, where they will

ACRAMENTO, California - Las escuelas de California tienen muy pocos maestros y otros adultos en los campus de K-12, y la educación de los niños está sufriendo. Eso es según un nuevo informe del grupo sin fines de lucro Children Now. Los investigadores compararon una escuela secundaria típica, Gunderson High en San José, con escuelas similares en otros dos estados. Descubrieron que la proporción estudiante / maestro es de 30 a 1 en California, pero de 20 a 1 en Illinois y de 11 a 1 en Nueva Jersey. Teryl Burditt, maestra de primer grado de Lancaster, dijo que los maestros de California están abrumados. "Ahora algunas de nuestras escuelas tienen 33 alumnos de primer grado y no tienen ayuda de instrucción", dijo Burditt. "No tenemos tiempo de planificación. Cero. Así que cualquier planificación que hagamos es en nuestro propio tiempo". El informe encontró que California gasta alrededor de $ 11,000 al año por alumno, mientras que Illinois y Nueva Jersey gastan $ 3,000 y $ 6,000 más por estudiante, respectivamente. ¿La diferencia? Las escuelas en los estados mejor financiados tienen más ayudantes de instrucción, bibliotecarios, consejeros, entrenadores, maestros de música, artes y tecnología y

"Now some of our schools have 33 first graders and no instructional aide," Burditt said. "We have no planning time. Zero. So any planning we do is on our own time." The report found that California spends about $11,000 a year per pupil - whereas Illinois and New Jersey spend $3,000 and $6,000 more per student, respectively. The difference? Schools in better-funded states have more instructional aides, librarians, counselors, coaches, music, arts and technology teachers and extracurricular programs.

programas extracurriculares. Burditt dijo que una gran cantidad de maestros de California se jubilarán en los próximos años, y la falta de fondos hará que sea difícil reclutar y mantener a los reemplazos. "Si entran y no reciben apoyo, será difícil conseguir suficientes maestros en el aula", dijo. "Un poco de ayuda ayudaría mucho a mantener a los maestros en la profesión". California ha restaurado lentamente la mayoría de los recortes realizados durante la recesión, pero incluso en los niveles previos a la recesión, California va muy por detrás de otros estados en cuanto a financiación educativa.

Burditt said huge numbers of California teachers will be retiring in the next few years - and underfunding will make it hard to recruit and keep replacements. "If they get in and they're not getting supported, it will be a rough go getting enough teachers into the classroom," she said. "A little help would go a long way towards keeping teachers in the profession." California has slowly restored most of the cuts made during the recession, but even at prerecession levels, California lags far behind other states in educational funding.

TAMALES, MOLE, BREAD AND DRINKS FILL THE DAY OF THE DEAD OFFERINGS IN MEXICO

Flor Castillo; Translation by Arturo Hilario EFE

érida, Mexico - Tamales, atole, mole, bread, fruits, sweets and drinks will make up many of the offerings that will be assembled by Mexicans in their homes to celebrate the feast of the Day of the Dead, November 1 and 2, to remember what their deceased loved ones feasted on and enjoyed in life. The varied Mexican cuisine on display has dishes for practically any occasion. In the state of Yucatan for example, where this past Sunday the Hanal Pixán (the Mayans version of Day of the Dead) festivities began, the stand out cuisine is the mucbipollo a three pound tamale which is cooked in an earthen oven and that is prepared with corn dough, and filled with chicken, pork meat and beans, all wrapped in banana leaves. The preparation of this ancient food is far from simple. You have to mold the dough, cook the “kool”, a broth dipped in a reddish pigment of achiote, and put all the ingredients into the dough. "A single person could not [make] the mucbipollos because it is a very laborious work," explained Silvia Paredes, a traditional cook of this dish, who participated in the festival held in Merida, the Yucatecan capital. The preparation of this special tamale is a ritual that lasts between four and five hours, because you also have to make a hole in the ground and cook it with wood. The mucbipollo, which has an ancestral history, is deposited in the offerings dedicated to the dead because it is believed they can enjoy this food when they return to the world of the living during the Day of the Dead. "It is a pre-Hispanic tradition of all the Maya. We have followed it from generation to generation," said Paredes, who said the term mucbipollo means "chicken buried in the ground." In addition to Yucatan, in the rest of Mexico, tradition dictates that the living "invite" the dead to return and for this they offer dishes, snacks and products that their loved ones enjoyed in life. From the typical calaveritas (small skulls) made of sugar, amaranth or chocolate, and the

traditional Mexican mole, ( a sauce made with chiles and spices), to the pan de muerto (bread of the dead) and various sweets in Mexico, the dead are indulged and entertained by relatives and friends. Many specialists in gastronomy in Mexico say that the things that cannot be missing in an offering are the traditional pumpkin, papaya, tejocote or sweet potato candy, and the pan de muerto. The sweets are of pre-Hispanic origin and it is common to find it in public markets and street markets, known as “tianguis”. The fruits are cooked in clay casseroles with a syrup that is made with brown sugar. In the case of bread, always round and of different sizes, it is made from a dough - which is left to ferment for more than 24 hours - based on egg, flour, butter, sugar and the unique touch that gives the zest of Orange. Other meals or dishes in Mexico on the Day of the Dead are traditional tamales, another food of indigenous Mesoamerican origin, which is usually prepared (much like the mucbipollos) with dough and is filled with meat, vegetables, sauces or fruits. These are usually accompanied with atole, a thick, corn and masa based hot beverage. In the states of Yucatán, Puebla, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Tabasco, State of Mexico and Chiapas, the Day of the Dead is an indigenous holiday which is designated by Unesco as an “Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”. As shown is the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, in the southern state of Oaxaca, where a type of offering called the Xandu’ is celebrated. In this, the dead are worshiped in two ways according to the taste of families, using the traditional altars or hanging a bow with banana or cane pennants adorned with flowers, fruits and breads and on the ground, a packed duffel bag is placed featuring all kinds of dishes, sweets and drinks. In addition to food, water, fruits and sweets used in the popular and ancestral Mexican tradition of Day of the Dead, it is common to see cigarettes and drinks such as tequila or mezcal and products or objects that those ancestors and loved ones imbibed on and generally enjoyed in life on display.

érida, México - Tamales, atole, mole, pan, frutas, dulces y bebidas llenarán las ofrendas que los mexicanos montarán en sus casas para celebrar la festividad de Día de Muertos, el 1 y 2 de noviembre, para recordar lo que degustaban y disfrutaban los que se nos adelantaron en el viaje. La variada gastronomía mexicana prácticamente tiene platillos y preparados para cualquier ocasión. Basta como ejemplo el estado de Yucatán, donde este domingo se comenzó el festival de las ánimas, el Hanal Pixán, en la que destaca el mucbipollo, un tamal de 1,5 kilos de peso que se cuece en un horno de tierra y que se prepara con masa de maíz, carne de pollo y de cerdo y frijoles, todo envuelto en hojas de plátano. Su elaboración no es sencilla, hay que moldear la masa, cocinar el kool, un caldo bañado en pigmento rojizo de achiote, y poner todos los ingredientes a la masa. "Una sola persona no podría hacer los mucbipollos porque sí es un trabajo muy laborioso", explicó a Efe Silvia Paredes, cocinera tradicional de este platillo, quien participó en el festival celebrado en Mérida, la capital yucateca. La preparación de este tamal tan especial supone todo un ritual que dura entre cuatro y cinco horas, pues hay que hacer un hoyo en la tierra y cocinarlo a base de leña. El mucbipollo, que tiene una historia ancestral, se deposita en las ofrendas dedicadas a los difuntos para que puedan disfrutar de este alimento cuando regresan al mundo de los vivos durante el Día de Muertos. "Es una tradición prehispánica de todos los mayas. Lo hemos seguido de generación en generación", contó Paredes, quien dijo que el término mucbipollo significa "pollo enterrado en la tierra". Además de Yucatán, en el resto de México la tradición dicta que los vivos "invitan" a los muertos a regresar y para ello en las ofrendas colocan platillos, preparados o productos que en vida disfrutaban sus seres queridos. Con las típicas calaveritas (pequeños cráneos) de azúcar, amaranto o chocolate hasta el

tradicional mole mexicano, salsa elaborada a base de chiles y especies, pasando por el pan de muerto y variados dulces en México, los muertos son "agasajados" por familiares y amigos. Muchos especialistas en gastronomía en México aseguran que lo que no puede faltar en una ofrenda es el tradicional dulce de calabaza, de papaya, de tejocote o de camote, ni tampoco el pan de muerto. Los dulces son de origen prehispánico y es común encontrarlo en mercados públicos y tianguis callejeros. Las frutas se cuecen en cazuelas de barro con un jarabe que se elabora con piloncillo. En el caso del pan, siempre redondo y de diferentes tamaños, se elabora a partir de una masa -que se deja fermentar durante más de 24 horas- a base de huevo, harina, mantequilla, azúcar y el toque único que le da la ralladura de naranja. Otras comidas o platillos en México en el Día de Muertos son tradicionales los tamales, un alimento de origen indígena mesoamericano, que se prepara generalmente con masa y están rellenos de carne, vegetales, salsas o frutas, los cuales se acompaña con atole, una bebida espesa de masa de sabores varios. En los estados de Yucatán, Puebla, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Tabasco, Estado de México y Chiapas, el Día de Muertos es festividad indígena las cuales han sido declaradas por la Unesco como Patrimonio Inmaterial de la Humanidad. Como muestra está el Istmo de Tehuantepec, en el sureño estado de Oaxaca, donde se celebra el Xandu', una ofrenda en el interior de viviendas para honrar a los muertos. En esta se rinde culto a los muertos de dos maneras de acuerdo al gusto de las familias, utilizando los tradicionales altares o colgando un arco con pencas de plátano o caña adornado con flores, frutos y panes y en el suelo, se coloca un petate repleto de todo tipo de platillos, dulces y bebidas. Además de comida, agua, frutas y dulces, en México en estas festividades para honrar a los difuntos, una tradición ancestral y enormemente popular, es común ver en las ofrendas cigarrillos y bebidas como el tequila o el mezcal y productos u objetos que gustaba y disfrutaba el fallecido.

ARE MILLENNIALS PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THEIR CREDIT SCORES?

StatePoint

illennials are no strangers to watching numbers. Lives today are affected by a vast number of online and social media statistics -- likes, followers, scores and ratings. However, a new survey suggests that despite the time and attention this generation devotes to social media, they are more focused on the importance of a very different number: their credit scores. The new survey from Experian was conducted to see how those ages 23 to 38 rank their credit scores in importance relative to other numbers in their lives, including the number of followers they have on social media. While the survey found that online and social media numbers command millennials’ constant attention (19 percent say it’s an obsession), 49 percent of those surveyed believe a credit score impacts their life the most. Fifty-nine percent worry about their credit score and 52 percent would be disappointed if their score went down. The numbers reflect their concern. In the past five years, members of this generation have seen their average FICO Score grow by 21 points, increasing from 647 in the second quarter of 2014 to 668 in the same quarter of 2019, according to Experian data. This is the largest increase of any generation for the same time period and shows that millennials are working to establish and build their credit. Though concerns over some scores and their online presence are causing a touch of anxiety -51 percent of millennials surveyed feel bad when their numbers go down, they can easily access help to improve their credit scores, say experts. “Proud scorekeeping millennials often have low credit scores due to short credit histories, but there are steps they can take to better manage their scores,” says Rod Griffin, director of public education for Experian. Paying credit card bills on time and only making purchases that you know you can afford to pay back are effective steps you can take to gradually improve your credit score. But in the age of immediate results, you may want to check out tools with the potential to increase your credit more quickly – even immediately. For example, the free online resource Experian Boost allows consumers to add positive payment history from

utility and cell phone payments to their Experian credit reports, which can possibly improve one’s FICO Score in real-time. To learn more about credit and finance topics, visit experian.com/education. “Ultimately, a good credit score has a greater lifelong impact than social media likes and followers and putting emphasis on monitoring this score will set you up for a successful financial future,” says Griffin.

os milenials no son ajenos a trabajar con números. Las vidas de hoy en día se ven afectadas por un gran número de estadísticas en línea y en las redes sociales: los “me gusta”, los seguidores, las calificaciones y las puntuaciones. Sin embargo, una nueva encuesta sugiere que, pese al tiempo y la atención que esta generación dedica a las redes sociales, está más concentrada en la importancia de un número muy diferente: su puntaje de crédito. La nueva encuesta de Experian se llevó a cabo para

ver cómo las personas de entre 23 y 38 años de edad clasifican la importancia de sus puntajes de crédito en relación con otros números que hay en sus vidas, incluyendo el número de seguidores que tienen en las redes sociales. Aunque la encuesta encontró que los números en línea y en las redes sociales concentran la atención constante de los milenials (19 por ciento dice que es una obsesión), el 49 por ciento de los encuestados piensa que un puntaje de crédito afecta más a su vida. Cincuenta y nueve por ciento se preocupa por su puntaje de crédito y 52 por ciento se decepcionaría si su puntaje bajara. Los números reflejan su preocupación. En los últimos cinco años, los miembros de esta generación han visto crecer su Calificación FICO promedio en 21 puntos, pasando de 647 en el segundo trimestre de 2014 a 668 en el mismo trimestre de 2019, según datos de Experian. Éste es el mayor aumento de cualquier generación para el mismo período de tiempo y demuestra que los milenials están trabajando para consolidar y desarrollar su crédito. Aunque las preocupaciones sobre algunas puntuaciones y su presencia en línea están causando un poco de ansiedad – el 51 por ciento de los milenials encuestados se siente mal cuando sus números bajan – pueden acceder fácilmente a ayuda para mejorar sus puntajes de crédito, dicen los expertos. “Los milenials que siguen sus calificaciones con orgullo a menudo tienen bajos puntajes de crédito debido a sus breves historiales de crédito, pero hay pasos que pueden dar para administrar mejor sus puntajes”, dice Rod Griffin, director de educación pública de Experian. Pagar las facturas de tarjetas de crédito a tiempo y sólo realizar compras que uno sabe que puede permitirse pagar son pasos efectivos que puede dar para mejorar gradualmente su puntaje de crédito. Pero, en la era de los resultados inmediatos, es posible que desee echar una ojeada a herramientas que tienen el potencial de aumentar su crédito más rápidamente, incluso de inmediato. Por ejemplo, el recurso en línea gratuito Experian Boost permite a los consumidores agregar su historial de pagos positivos por servicios públicos y teléfonos celulares a sus informes de crédito de Experian, lo que posiblemente puede mejorar su Calificación FICO en tiempo real. Para obtener más información sobre temas de crédito y finanzas, visite experian.com/education. “En última instancia, una buena calificación de crédito tiene un mayor impacto de por vida que los me gusta y los seguidores en las redes sociales, y poner énfasis en el monitoreo de este puntaje le pondrá en camino de un futuro financiero exitoso”, dice Griffin.

EARTHTALK Q&A: WHEN WILL THE ELECTRONIC VEHICLES OUTNUMBER COMBUSTION CARS? Dear EarthTalk: I see more and more EVs out of the road. When will they start to outnumber internal combustion cars on American roads? -- Jane L., New Bern, NC

millones al año en comparación con las ventas de vehículos convencionales de 47 millones para entonces). Después de eso, los vehículos eléctricos, con sus costos de combustible y mantenimiento más bajos, continuarán tomando más y más del mercado cada año, cuestionando el futuro del automóvil de motor de combustión interna.

lectric vehicles (EVs) have been around about as long as cars themselves. In fact, primitive EVs were the dominant form of automotive transportation at the dawn of the auto age in Europe and the U.S. in the late 19th century. It wasn’t until the 1920s—when the U.S. road system was starting to be built out and cheap oil was available from newly tapped Texas oil fields—that internal combustion cars began to take over as the predominant vehicles across the United States. And we never looked back. Until recently, that is. Nowadays, EVs (Teslas, Leafs, Bolts, etc.) are indeed everywhere. Analysts estimate the EVs will be cheaper to buy than internal combustion cars as soon as 2022. Beyond that, it’s probably only a matter of two decades before EVs represent the majority of cars, light trucks and SUVs plying American roads. In 2018, EVs made up only about two percent of total U.S. new car sales, but that figure represents an astonishing 70 percent growth from the year prior. Moving forward, analysts expect around 13 percent annual compound growth in the EV sector for the foreseeable future. Bloomberg New Energy Finance, a research arm of the New York-based media company, expects sales of passenger EVs to overtake conventional internal combustionbased vehicles by 2038 (with EV sales topping 50 million a year as compared to conventional vehicle sales of 47 million by then). After that, EVs, with their lower ongoing fuel and maintenance costs, will continue taking over more and more of the market every year, calling the very future of the internal combustion engine passenger car into question. As technologies mature (allowing for better battery storage and extended driving range) and manufacturers ramp up production and prices come down accordingly, consumers will begin to look exclusively at EVs when shopping for new cars. Indeed, a recent survey of 2,000 adults living in either California or the Northeast Tristate Area (NY, NJ, CT) by consulting firm West Monroe Partners

It looks like we might have to wait some two decades for electric vehicles (EVs) to displace internal combustion cars as the kings of the American road. Photo Credit: Pexels found that the majority (59 percent) of respondents think their next vehicle will be an electric car. Not surprisingly, the survey found that Gen Zers (those born after 1996) are especially inclined toward EVs. That said, only 16 percent of respondents are driving around in EVs today, and concerns including short battery life and lack of charging stations (limiting the vehicles’ range), as well as high up-front purchase costs, are still holding many of us back from taking the allelectric plunge. But the writing is on the wall for gas guzzling passenger cars as we overcome these short-term hurdles. With about 15 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions emanating from the tailpipes of our internal combustion cars and light trucks, and gasoline becoming more and more expensive, the inevitable switchover to EVs—despite efforts by the Trump administration to reduce national fuel efficiency standards and bolster the ailing oil industry—is going to be a win-win for consumers and the planet. 2038 can’t come too soon!

os vehículos eléctricos (VE) han existido casi tanto tiempo como los propios automóviles. De hecho, los vehículos eléctricos primitivos eran la forma dominante de transporte automotor en los albores de la era del automóvil en Europa y los Estados Unidos a fines del siglo XIX. No fue sino hasta la década de 1920, cuando el sistema de carreteras de EE. UU. Comenzó a construirse y se disponía de petróleo barato en los campos petroleros de Texas recientemente intervenidos, que los automóviles de combustión interna comenzaron a tomar el control como los vehículos predominantes en los Estados Unidos. Y nunca miramos hacia atrás. Hasta hace poco, eso es. Hoy en día, los vehículos eléctricos (Teslas, Leafs, Bolts, etc.) están en todas partes. Los analistas estiman que los EV serán más baratos de comprar que los automóviles de combustión interna tan pronto como 2022. Más allá de eso, es probable que solo sea cuestión de dos décadas antes de que los EV representen la mayoría de los automóviles, camionetas y SUV que circulan por las carreteras estadounidenses. En 2018, los vehículos eléctricos representaron solo alrededor del dos por ciento de las ventas totales de automóviles nuevos en los Estados Unidos, pero esa cifra representa un asombroso crecimiento del 70 por ciento respecto al año anterior. En el futuro, los analistas esperan un crecimiento compuesto anual del 13 por ciento en el sector de vehículos eléctricos en el futuro previsible. Bloomberg New Energy Finance, un brazo de investigación de la compañía de medios con sede en Nueva York, espera que las ventas de vehículos eléctricos de pasajeros superen a los vehículos convencionales basados en la combustión interna para 2038 (con ventas de vehículos eléctricos que superan los 50

A medida que las tecnologías maduren (permitiendo un mejor almacenamiento de la batería y un rango de manejo extendido) y los fabricantes aumenten la producción y los precios bajen en consecuencia, los consumidores comenzarán a mirar exclusivamente los vehículos eléctricos cuando compren autos nuevos. De hecho, una encuesta reciente realizada a la firma consultora West Monroe Partners por 2.000 adultos que viven en California o en el área del noreste de Tristate (NY, NJ, CT) encontró que la mayoría (59 por ciento) de los encuestados cree que su próximo vehículo será un automóvil eléctrico. No es sorprendente que la encuesta descubriera que los Gen Zers (los nacidos después de 1996) están especialmente inclinados hacia los vehículos eléctricos. Dicho esto, solo el 16 por ciento de los encuestados circulan hoy en vehículos eléctricos, y las preocupaciones que incluyen la corta duración de la batería y la falta de estaciones de carga (que limitan el alcance de los vehículos), así como los altos costos de compra por adelantado, todavía nos mantienen a muchos de nosotros de vuelta de dar el paso totalmente eléctrico. Pero la escritura está en la pared para autos de pasajeros que consumen gasolina mientras superamos estos obstáculos a corto plazo. Con aproximadamente el 15 por ciento de las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de EE. UU. Que emanan de los tubos de escape de nuestros automóviles de combustión interna y camiones ligeros, y la gasolina se vuelve cada vez más costosa, el cambio inevitable a vehículos eléctricos, a pesar de los esfuerzos de la administración Trump para reducir los estándares nacionales de eficiencia de combustible y reforzar la industria petrolera en crisis va a ser beneficiosa para todos los consumidores y el planeta. ¡2038 no puede venir demasiado pronto!

equipment, be it luggage, skis or snowboards. Many vehicles require a roof rack to transport these items ... and, according to the latest Hankook Gauge Index Survey, 40% of drivers have one. Of that, 52% of drivers leave the rack on at all times, as opposed to only keeping the roof rack on when transporting the items it carries. However, it's better for fuel efficiency to remove the rack unless there's a use for it, so save some money at the pump by only having the roof rack on your car when you need it.

uando es hora de salir de vacaciones, visitar a amigos y familiares o simplemente escapar, está buscando diversión y relajación, y lo último que desea es perder tiempo o dinero. A medida que los conductores se preparan para salir, Hankook Tire ofrece lo siguiente para hacer y no hacer para un viaje por carretera sin problemas. No: Deje la baca puesta Los destinos populares a menudo requieren algunos equipos adicionales, ya sea equipaje, esquís o tablas de snowboard. Muchos vehículos requieren un portaequipaje para transportar estos artículos ... y, según la última encuesta del índice de indicadores de Hankook, el 40% de los conductores tienen uno. De ellos, el 52% de los conductores dejan el portaequipaje encendido en todo momento, en lugar de mantener el portaequipaje encendido cuando transportan los artículos que transporta. Sin embargo, es mejor para la eficiencia del combustible quitar el estante a menos que sea útil, así que ahorre algo de dinero en la bomba al tener el estante del techo en su automóvil cuando lo necesite. Hacer: Elige una lista de reproducción alegre La encuesta reveló que más de la mitad (55%) de los conductores se pondrán al volante por más de 50 millas si se dirigen a un festival o concierto de música. Eso demuestra que las personas se sienten impulsadas a viajar por experiencias y que, para muchos, la música en vivo es un ingrediente clave para unas vacaciones divertidas. La música también puede ayudar a mantener la actitud en el automóvil optimista, sin importar la hora del viaje. Para el mejor viaje por carretera, los conductores deben seleccionar una variedad de listas de reproducción con anticipación para cada estado de ánimo y asegurarse de cambiarlas antes de deslizar el automóvil en la unidad, o entregarlo al pasajero y dejar que jueguen como DJ. No: deje que la luz de gas se encienda Hankook encontró que casi la mitad de los conductores (49%) señaló que llenar el tanque de gasolina es su elemento de lista de verificación número uno antes de cualquier viaje largo por carretera. Están ansiosos por ahorrar dinero al mismo tiempo. De hecho, el Indicador reveló que la mayoría de los estadounidenses (80%) conducirán hasta 10 millas fuera de su camino para ahorrar dinero en un tanque de gasolina ... y uno de cada 10 (11%) conducirá más de 21 millas, lo que puede arriesgarse cuando se enciende esa luz de combustible. Si bien cada vehículo varía según la distancia que le queda después de que se enciende la luz, es aconsejable evitarlo por completo y planificar sus paradas de descanso en consecuencia. Hablando de paradas de descanso, las tiendas de conveniencia de las estaciones de servicio se llaman así por una razón: hacen paradas fáciles en boxes a lo largo de la carretera, pero no todos optan por la comodidad al decidir dónde detenerse. El precio de la gasolina es el factor de influencia número uno para los conductores que determinan dónde detenerse para la gasolina en un largo viaje por carretera (41%). El factor de conveniencia viene en segundo lugar, ya que el 36% dice que la ubicación más conveniente es el factor determinante más grande sobre dónde se llenarán.

Considere verificar la profundidad de la banda de rodadura con unos días de anticipación, para permitir un tiempo suficiente para pasar por la tienda de neumáticos local para las reparaciones, rotaciones o reemplazos necesarios. Para aquellos que necesitan cambiar los neumáticos, es importante tener en cuenta el destino y los hábitos de manejo antes de realizar la compra. También puede ser útil vigilar los reembolsos, promociones o ventas para aprovechar el mejor trato.

The survey revealed that more than half (55%) of drivers will get behind the wheel for longer than 50 miles if they're heading to a music festival or concert. That goes to show that people are driven to travel for experiences and that for many, live music is a key ingredient for a fun vacation. Music can also help keep the attitude in the car upbeat, no matter what hour of the trip it is. For the ultimate road trip, drivers should curate a variety of playlists ahead of time for every mood and be sure to switch through them before sliding the car into drive - or hand it off to the passenger and let them play DJ. Don't: Let the gas light turn on Hankook found nearly half of drivers (49%) noted that filling up the gas tank is their number one checklist item before any long road trip. They're keen to save money at the same time. In fact, the Gauge revealed that most Americans (80%) will drive up to 10 miles out of their way to save money on a tank of gas ... and one in 10 (11%) will drive over 21 miles, which can get risky when that fuel light comes on. While every vehicle varies on how far it has left after the light goes on, it is wise to avoid it altogether and plan your rest stops accordingly. Speaking of rest stops, gas station convenience stores are called that for a reason - they do make for easy pit stops along the highway - but not everyone opts for convenience when deciding where to pull over. The price of gas is the number one influencing factor for drivers determining where to stop for gas on a long road trip (41%). The convenience factor comes in second as 36% say the most convenient location is the biggest determining factor on where they will fill up. Do: Check your tires

Hankook found that two-thirds of Americans consider checking their tires - either the pressure or the tread depth - as one of the most important to-dos before heading out on any long trip. Consider checking the tread depth a few days in advance, to allow for ample time to swing by the local tire shop for any necessary repairs, rotations or replacements. For those who do need to switch out the tires, it's important to consider the destination and driving habits before making the purchase. It can also be helpful to keep an eye on any rebates, promotions or sales to capitalize on the best deal.

LOS RAKAS: MANES DE NEGOCIO El grupo panameño sigue en su propia ola de música

Arturo Hilario El Observador

un diferente sonido. Ya estamos hablando de diferentes temas, la manera que nos estamos expresando, estamos motivando a la gente, inspirando a la gente con la música. Por ejemplo, tenemos un tema que se llama "Ganando", es un tema que estamos hablando de las altas y bajas de nuestra carrera musical.

os Rakas son un grupo de música hiphop bilingüe con raíces panameñas de Oakland California. En el transcurso de la última década y algunos años, los dos primos han consolidado su legado como pioneros de un híbrido de hip-hop y música de las Américas. Esto incluye reggae, reggaetón, rap, dance hall y otros sonidos latinos. Raka Rich y Raka Dun han pasado tiempo tanto en Panamá como en los EE. UU., Raka Rich nació en el norte de California y vivió en Panamá cuando era joven, mientras que Raka Dun nació en la ciudad de Nuevo Veranillo, Panamá.

Cómo nos fue cuando estuvimos firmados con nuestra disquera. ¿Qué es lo que pasó? Agarramos una nominación de Grammy, lo que está pasando con Donald Trump, tú sabes. Este tipo es lo que estamos sacando. Tenemos un tema con Amar La Negra que se llama "Devórame", que es un reguetón bien movido, bien tropical, al estilo dance hall afro-latino panameño, influencia panameña.

En el transcurso de su colaboración, desde alrededor de 2006, cuando pasaron de ser artistas solistas a convertirse en Los Rakas, su música ha sido un puente desde un lado del hip-hop hacia uno de fusión latinoamericana que continúa rompiendo fronteras y promocionando nuevos sonidos. En el 2017 fueron nominados al Grammy.

Y entonces [contiene] un poquito de todo lo que podemos hacer ahora, después de que ya ahora somos independientes, que ya no estamos con la disquera. El sonido todavía sigue arriba. No ha cambiado, sigue evolucionando, sigue mejorando. Eso es lo que le estamos dando al público con los nuevos proyectos que hemos sacado.

La siguiente es una entrevista reciente con Los Rakas, mientras continúan en su gira actual por la costa oeste con Making Movies, una banda de rock con miembros panameños que también rompe el molde cuando se trata de su sonido. ¿Para empezar, me pueden hablar un poco sobre cómo fueron sus empiezos y cómo es que empezaron en la música ustedes? Raka Dun: Nosotros somos dos primos panameños. Empezamos en Oakland [y] antes era artista solista. Después nos juntamos, empezamos en los youth centers y ahí fue donde empezamos. La gente siempre nos gustaba, nos preguntaban si éramos un dúo. Hicimos un álbum que se llama el "Panabay Twist", y el resto es historia. Raka Rich: De ahí se nos pegó nuestro primer tema, que se llama "Mi Barrio", que fue el primer sencillo que lo puso en el mapa. Fue en la ciudad de Panamá donde nos dio más reconocimiento siendo artistas que empezaron acá, pero la gente panameña nos apoyó con el tema este de "Mi Barrio" porque era un tema como extrañado de donde uno viene no, siendo que Dun era inmigrante por 12 años. En este tema la gente sentía eso, como uno extrañaba a su país y bueno, de allá y empezamos en el 2006. Después de ahí sacamos otro proyecto que nos fue muy bien internacionalmente también. Y después fuimos firmados por la disquera Universal. En el 2017 fuimos nominado a los Grammy. Gracias. ¿Ahora, me pueden hablar un poco sobre cómo es la música de ustedes y que mezcla de influencias tiene? Raka Dun: Siendo de Panamá Nosotros escuchamos todo tipo de música allá, hasta música que no entendemos como haitiano, el tanto, el reggae jamaiquino. Y también creciendo en Oakland, California escuchamos mucha música de gente, de otro país, de música americana. También el hip-hop del área de la bahía, bien diferente al hip-hop en otras regiones de este país. Así que nosotros mezclamos todo esto y quizá sale lo que [llamamos] "Raka Music". No tenemos un género, así en que nosotros nos enfocamos, no más es una mezcla de todos esos sonidos. Yo creo que salió orgánicamente,

Raka Rich (izquierda) y Raka Dun (derecha), que juntos son Los Rakas, estarán de gira por San Francisco y Santa Cruz el 8 y 9 de noviembre, respectivamente. Photo Credit: Los Rakas

desde que nosotros empezamos, desde que salió el primer álbum. No es que nosotros nos sentábamos y dijimos, "Vamos a hacer reggae, vamos a hacer hip-hop", no más teníamos un CD con lleno de instrumentales. El instrumental que nos gustaba a nosotros lo montábamos, ya sea que fuera R&B, si fuera hip-hop, si fuera reggae. Raka Rich: Y también parte de eso es que. Los diferentes géneros de música que son populares vienen de los barrios, vienen de donde nosotros somos. Y nosotros no más estamos

Y todavía yo vivo en Oakland. Yo todavía vivo en la ciudad donde nació muchas cosas de diferentes géneros de música. Es un lugar muy importante de música, entonces aquí es como afilarte el cuchillo pues, uno se mantiene la ola que mantiene la moda y todo lo que está pasando porque aquí es donde nace esto. Entonces manteniéndonos aquí, todavía nos da la misma ambición para seguir adelante y seguir evolucionando como músicos y cantantes. Me pueden hablar un poco sobre el último álbum, “Manes de Negocio”, ¿y que influen-

Empezamos como niños, ahora somos hombres en el negocio. Hemos aprendido muchas cosas del negocio después de ser nominados a los Grammy. haciendo lo que viene natural. Entonces no es algo forzado, algo que esos géneros hacen aquí. Entonces no tenemos límite de qué clase de género, porque nos sentimos orgullosos de cantarle a las mujeres, de rapearle a los hombres, a los varones. Cantarle de cosas políticas de cantarle diferentes temas sociales, de todo lo que pasa música para nosotros es una forma de expresión, un desahogo. ¿Y ahora que tienen desde el 2006 de estar en la música, todavía se siente como algo fresco? Cuando crean nueva música, nuevas ideas, todo eso. Los Rakas: Yo creo que sí. Raka Rich: Yo creo que la música, nosotros no más seguimos evolucionando porque todavía le metemos al 100 por ciento, todavía tenemos el hambre. Cuando empezamos tenemos la misma ambición de cuando empezábamos.

cias tiene comparado a álbumes pasados? Raka Rich: Bueno, el nuevo álbum, "Manes de Negocio", lo titulamos así porque bueno, es la evolución de Los Rakas. Cuando empezamos nosotros diez años atrás éramos novatos, éramos peladitos, estábamos aprendiendo. Teníamos mucho potencial, estábamos experimentando con muchos sonidos, aprendiendo nuestras voces, y creo que ya después de diez años uno se masteriza lo que uno hace pues. Y entonces ya hemos evolucionado y entendemos el negocio, ya no somos novatos, ahora somos hombres. Empezamos como niños, ahora somos hombre en el negocio. Hemos aprendido muchas cosas del negocio después de ser nominado a los Grammy. Este proyecto es el proyecto que sacamos que es la evolución de eso, el nuevo sonido de Los Rakas, diez años después. Cuando empezamos, éramos niños. Ahora somos hombres, es

Entonces ustedes van a tocar en San Francisco y el otro día en Santa Cruz, el 8 y el 9 de noviembre, con la banda Making Movies. ¿Pueden hablarme de cómo es su música de ellos y porque los escogieron para el tour? Raka Dun: Tocamos con ellos hace un año atrás allá en Washington. Y si no nos gusta la música de ellos, porque se nota que también son apasionados con lo que hacen, pero lo hacen de corazón, y son un grupo panameño. A nosotros nos gusta apoyar a nuestra gente panameña, porque que ahí fue donde empezó la música urbana, pero no tenemos mucha representación panameña en término de la música comercial. Así que estamos bien contento de tener esta gira por el Oeste con Making Movies y de cantar en San Francisco. Raka Rich: Sí, creo que es una buena experiencia. Esa fusión de ellos, mezclado con la de nosotros creo que va a ser algo nuevo, una nueva ola, algo que de pronto el género urbano va a seguir. Porque todo lo que es el género urbano es ahora mismo es algo que nosotros ya hemos hecho hace tiempo. Es algo que nosotros creamos, siendo parte de la cultura. Obvio, la gente que lo hicieron antes, nosotros también ayudaron que la cultura siguiera y creciera. Y después vinimos nosotros y creamos el puente que siguió. Diez años después ahora todo lo que hemos creado ahora todo el mundo lo está haciendo mucho. Muchos de los artistas, de los colegas están haciendo lo que ya hemos hecho nosotros, que hicimos hace tiempo. Ahora nosotros estamos siguiendo otra ola. Nosotros seguimos en nuestro propio mundo y lo que viene ahora es que estamos mezclando la fusión de nosotros con la de Making Movies. Estamos expandiendo lo que la gente piensa del tipo de música que ellos hacen y el tipo de música que nosotros hacemos, que si se puede poner en un lugar y la gente puede llegar y puede disfrutar de las dos cosas, aunque sean muy diferentes. LOS RAKAS llegan al área de la bahía con MAKING MOVIES en su 'PANAMERI'KANA TOUR' el 8 de noviembre en Neck of the Woods en San Francisco y 9 de noviembre en Moe’s en Santa Cruz.

PROGRESS ON INSURING CALIFORNIA CHILDREN GRINDS TO A HALT immigration status. "California had taken multiple proactive steps to expand coverage," she points out. "But we aren't making a dent in the number of uninsured kids in California, despite the fact that the economy has been strong." The report says the number of uninsured children increased by 400,000 nationwide between 2016 and 2018. The authors blame the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act as well as President Donald Trump's anti-immigrant policies, which have led many parents to drop their children from government programs.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - For the second year in a row, the percentage of uninsured children has stagnated in the Golden State and is going up nationwide, according to a new report.

Joan Alker, executive director of the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families, says the loss of coverage hurt Latino children the most, but several other groups also saw decreases in coverage. "White children also had a significant loss of coverage," she points out. "Young children, under age six - and that's really troubling.

Researchers from the Georgetown University Center for Children and Families found that 3.1% of children in California - about 300,000 children - have no health insurance.

"And we're also seeing families who are just right above the poverty lines, with incomes around $30,000 a year, those working poor families losing coverage."

Mayra Alvarez, executive director of The Children's Partnership in Los Angeles, says California should be doing better, considering the state increased premium subsidies and extended MediCal to everyone younger than 26 regardless of

Nationwide, the rate of uninsured children went from 4.7% in 2016 to 5.2% in 2018 - leaving a total of 4 million American children uninsured.
