¿ESTADO DE NEGACIÓN O BOICOT?

STATE OF DENIAL OR BOYCOTT?

ESPAÑOL

ENGLISH

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

l diccionario define un estado psicológico de “negación” (denial) como un mecanismo químico del cuerpo para ajustarse a situaciones perturbadoras: una forma de protección psicológica consistente en rechazar la verdad y crear una pausa anímica para asimilarla gradualmente. La Clínica Mayo sostiene que el estado de negación puede ser algo bueno, al principio, pero sí persiste tiene un "lado oscuro". A todos nos ha ocurrido: cuando muere un ser querido muy cercano, de inmediato salta el resorte de la incredulidad. De manera gradual y progresiva, aceptamos la realidad y buscamos mecanismos para llegar a un estado de estabilidad emocional y paz mental. Durante las pasadas elecciones del 3 de noviembre, más de 76 millones de estadounidenses votaron a favor del demócrata Joe Biden y más de 71 millones de personas votaron por el presidente Donald Trump. Se convirtieron en los candidatos presidenciales más votados en la historia del país. La fotografía del resultado electoral es la de un país partido por la mitad. Pero lo que inicialmente pudo ser visto como un lógico estado de negación temporal de la realidad, está dando paso a un volátil experimento de agitación social impulsado con acusaciones sin fundamento o evidencias de un supuesto fraude masivo electoral contra el presidente, que habría subvertido la voluntad popular. Es posible que muchos de los simpatizantes del presidente que han salido a las calles con pancartas, crean en la veracidad de videos que se han hecho virales de supuestas irregularidades electorales, aunque ninguna ha sido probada. Y es legítimo que el partido perdedor recurra a los mecanismos legales para tratar de lograr recuentos. Pero la decisión de la administración Trump de boicotear el proceso de transición a través de la negativa de la Administración de Servicios Administrativos (GSA) de reconocer el desenlace de las elecciones y la actitud de prominentes líderes y senadores republicanos de poner en duda el resultado, equivale a arrojar gasolina al fuego en un país con 330 millones de armas en circulación. Expertos coinciden que las posibilidades de éxito del presidente son virtualmente inexistentes toda vez que tendría que documentar casos específicos de fraude, con nombre y apellido, y acumular un número suficiente de evidencias que matemáticamente haga posible revertir el resultado en los estados del país en disputa.

Se ha filtrado a medios informativos que algunos miembros de la familia presidencial han tratado, infructuosamente, de persuadir al presidente a reconocer la realidad. En contraste, los republicanos empezaron a recaudar dinero para la batalla legal y se habla incluso de realizar actos multitudinarios, a pesar de que la pandemia de COVID está en pleno apogeo. Si el presidente o los republicanos tienen pruebas de fraude, que las presenten, pues existen mecanismos institucionales para desahogarlas. Pero si no las tienen, deben asumir su responsabilidad histórica de reconocer la voluntad popular y salvaguardar la credibilidad de las instituciones democráticas de los Estados Unidos, que han costado sangre, sudor y lágrimas.

he dictionary defines a psychological state of “denial” as a chemical mechanism of the body to adjust to disturbing situations: a form of psychological protection consisting of rejecting the truth and creating a mental pause to gradually assimilate it. The Mayo Clinic maintains that denial may be a good thing at first, but if it persists it has a "dark side”.

It has happened to all of us: when a very close loved one dies, immediately the spring of disbelief jumps. Gradually and progressively, we accept reality and look for mechanisms to reach a state of emotional stability Para más información visita www.lar- and mental peace. edhispana.com. During last week’s election on No-

vember 3, more than 76 million Americans voted for Democrat Joe Biden and more than 71 million people voted for President Donald Trump. They became the most voted presidential candidates in the country's history. The photograph of the electoral result is that of a country split in half. But what could initially be seen as a logical state of temporary denial of reality, is giving way to a volatile experiment in social unrest driven by baseless accusations or evidence of an alleged massive electoral fraud against the president, which would have subverted the popular will. It is possible that many of the president's supporters who have taken to the streets to protest believe in the veracity of videos that have gone viral of alleged electoral irregularities, although none have been proven. And it is legitimate for the losing party to resort to legal mechanisms to try to achieve recounts. But the Trump administration's decision to boycott the transition process through the refusal of the General Services Administration (GSA) to acknowledge the outcome of the elections, and the attitude of prominent Republican leaders and senators to question the outcome is equivalent to throwing gasoline on fire in a country with 330 million guns in circulation. Experts agree that the president's chances of success are virtually nonexistent since he would have to document specific cases of fraud, with first and last names, and accumulate a sufficient number of evidence that mathematically makes it possible to reverse the result in the disputed states of the country. It has been leaked to the media that some members of the presidential family have tried, unsuccessfully, to persuade the president to recognize reality. In contrast, Republicans began raising money for the legal battle and there is even talk of mass events, even though the COVID pandemic is in full swing. If the president or the Republicans have evidence of fraud, let them present it, as there are institutional mechanisms to vent it. But if they don't, they must assume their historical responsibility to recognize the popular will and safeguard the credibility of the democratic institutions of the United States, which have cost blood, sweat and tears.

NOTAS DEL MÉDICO: EN ESTE PREESCOLAR PARA NIÑOS TRAUMATIZADOS, EL CUIDADO EMOCIONAL ES LO PRIMERO, LUEGO LO ACADÉMICO ChrisAnna Mink California Health Report

protección infantil, pediatras, Head Start, programas internos de salud mental y agencias de salud mental de la comunidad.

eggie, que ahora tiene 5 años, estuvo expuesto a las metanfetaminas en el útero y, después de que él nació, su madre biológica no pudo cuidarlo. Cuando tenía 4 semanas, yo era su médico en la clínica de acogida en el HarborUCLA Medical Center. Fue adoptado por uno de mis colegas pediátricos, Amy Huang, y su esposo, Daniel. Debido a que Reggie es menor de edad, se han cambiado sus nombres y los de sus padres.

DTI es uno de menos de una docena de programas especializados de este tipo en el condado de Los Ángeles, que alberga a casi 330.000 niños menores de cinco años. Aproximadamente el 20 por ciento de esos niños viven en la pobreza y la mayoría ha experimentado adversidades. La necesidad supera con creces las ranuras disponibles.

Pero, desafortunadamente, ese no fue el caso.

"El preescolar terapéutico utiliza el modelo neurosecuencial", dijo Jesús Parra, director regional de servicios clínicos del Instituto Infantil. Este enfoque proporciona un marco para ayudar a un niño, teniendo en cuenta su historial de trauma, etapa de desarrollo y capacidad actual para funcionar.

En enero, cuando Reggie regresó al preescolar después de las vacaciones de invierno, comenzó a tener comportamientos extremos. Se volvió desafiante y agresivo. Mordía, pegaba a extraños y, a veces, se ponía a cuatro patas y actuaba como un animal. Sus padres estaban frustrados y preocupados de que los problemas estuvieran relacionados con su exposición a las drogas.

“Ayudamos a los niños a llegar a un lugar donde puedan regular sus comportamientos, aumentar su atención (y) su tolerancia a la frustración y navegar mejor en las relaciones con sus compañeros y adultos”, dijo Fauscette. El objetivo es ayudar a los niños a lograr la estabilidad emocional, para que estén preparados para un entorno de aprendizaje tradicional.

Los efectos de las metanfetaminas en los bebés en el útero abarcan un amplio espectro, desde problemas leves de aprendizaje hasta un deterioro significativo de la función cerebral. Estos bebés pueden nacer prematuros, tener bajo peso al nacer o sufrir abstinencia que les causa nerviosismo, irritabilidad y mala alimentación. Además, las madres adictas a la metanfetamina a menudo tienen mala salud y pueden consumir otras sustancias como marihuana, tabaco, alcohol y cocaína. Todos estos pueden tener efectos negativos en el desarrollo del bebé, así como en la capacidad de la madre para ser padres.

El personal y los voluntarios de DTI son elegidos en parte por su temperamento y capacidad para regular sus propias emociones. Estas cualidades son tan valoradas como su educación, aunque la mayoría tiene experiencia en desarrollo infantil, psicología o salud mental.

"Era el mejor bebé, sin retracciones, sin terribles dos", dijo Amy Huang. "Pensamos que se había escapado de los efectos de la metanfetamina".

ChrisAnna Mink es una pediatra que ejerce en el sur de Los Ángeles. Los investigadores han demostrado que los niños que estuvieron expuestos a la metanfetamina en el útero tienen dificultades con la función ejecutiva de su cerebro, que es el comando central para organizar los pensamientos, la planificación y el aprendizaje. Estos niños también tienen un mayor riesgo de comportamientos perturbadores y trastorno por déficit de atención / hiperactividad (TDAH), así como depresión, ansiedad y otras enfermedades mentales, en comparación con sus compañeros no expuestos. Algunos de estos problemas no se vuelven obvios hasta las demandas cognitivas y conductuales de un aula. Para la primavera, el comportamiento de Reggie se estaba saliendo de control y sus maestros de preescolar no podían hacerle frente. Los Huang lo sacaron de esa escuela pero no sabían a quién acudir. Le recomendé Children’s Institute Inc, al igual que otros amigos de un niño adoptado que también había estado expuesto a las drogas. Estaba familiarizado con el preescolar terapéutico del Instituto llamado Tratamiento intensivo diurno, DTI. Durante los últimos 12 años, he referido a muchos niños con dificultades de comportamiento debido a la exposición a las drogas, el abuso, la negligencia y otros traumas psicológicos.

“Un adulto que controla sus emociones ayuda a los niños que no controlan las suyas”, dijo Parra, quien dirige algunas de las capacitaciones del personal. El programa tiene como objetivo, dijo Parra, que "los padres vuelvan a enamorarse de su hijo". Reggie comenzó en DTI a principios de mayo. Los profesores observaron que cuando se comporta como un dinosaurio u otro animal es porque se siente ansioso y asustado. De esta manera, razonan, está intentando defenderse del peligro que percibe. Entonces, en lugar de castigarlo por desobedecer, los maestros de Reggie se acercan a él con calma y lo ayudan a abordar su ansiedad. En los últimos meses, Reggie ha progresado aprendiendo a usar palabras, y no agresión, para expresar sus emociones. Los Huang ya han notado un cambio. Los maestros “pudieron describirnos cómo Reggie interpreta su mundo”, dijo Daniel Huang. "Nos está ayudando, él y yo". La pediatra ChrisAnna Mink escribe la columna de notas del médico bimensual sobre la salud de los niños.

DTI “parece un preescolar normal”, dijo Nicole Fauscette, terapeuta familiar con licencia y supervisora del programa, pero ofrece terapia individual en tiempo real. Primero, DTI se enfoca en la salud mental, en un entorno preescolar de apoyo y apropiado para el desarrollo. La escuela agrega lo académico a medida que los niños están listos. El edificio del Children's Institute en el campus de Harbor-UCLA está rodeado de parques infantiles. El interior está decorado con colores vivos y está perfectamente abarrotado de juguetes y niños. Parece que Crayola diseñó una casa que invita a los visitantes a jugar. Los niños de 2½ a 5 años son elegibles. Muchos han sido expulsados del preescolar regular. DTI tiene espacio para 12 niños y las aulas tienen, en promedio, un miembro del personal por cada dos niños. Las referencias provienen de los servicios de

raditionally, the holiday season is a time to gather with family and friends to reminiscence and celebrate all that has happened throughout the year. But with an ongoing pandemic, many are left looking for new and unique ways to enjoy those time-honored traditions in a way that keeps everyone safe and healthy. So while things will likely look different than we are accustomed to, that doesn't mean you and your loved ones have to miss out on those most important and cherished traditions. Instead, consider trying these tips and tricks for safe, socially distant holiday fun. Host safely If you plan to host, there are a number of precautions you can take to keep guests safe. If possible, take your gatherings outside where you can increase physical distance and airflow. Choose outdoor activities, such as a bonfire or an active game. If you live in a colder climate, bring out the hats, coats and gloves - and try using a patio or porch heater to warm up. To limit travel, it is best to only invite people from your local area and limit the number of attendees. Provide information to guests about your local safety guidelines and take steps to prevent spread by providing masks and hand sanitizer. Get help from the experts With everything to consider this year, there is nothing better than receiving a helping hand in the kitchen - especially one that can be delivered right to your doorstep. For example, Boston Market has fully prepared, precooked holiday meal spreads, as well as a la carte sides and desserts that can be delivered to your home, preordered or picked up at any location nationwide. This helpful solution is also perfect for those taking extra precautions during this unusual holiday season. Go virtual Since you may not be able to see family and friends in-person, consider spending time with your loved ones from afar by using one of the many apps and programs that allow them to gather virtually. To keep the conversation flowing, prepare a list of fun topics, questions to ask or games to play while you are digitally celebrating the season together. Shop conveniently

VOTANTES DE COLOR RESTAURARON LA DEMOCRACIA EN AMÉRICA EN LAS ELECCIONES PRESIDENCIALES DE 2020 SUNITA SOHRABJI y PILAR MARRERO Ethnic Media Services

cano. Los estadounidenses de origen asiático participaron en cantidades significativas para las elecciones de 2020, dijo John C. Yang, presidente y director ejecutivo de Asian Americans Advancing Justice / AAJC. Unos 300.000 fueron votantes por primera vez.

n un país polarizado y herido por COVID-19 y un liderazgo divisivo, una participación masiva de votantes resultó en una elección cerrada donde el demócrata Joe Biden fue empujado a cruzar la línea de meta por una gran mayoría de votantes de color.

Hubo mucho más entusiasmo por votar, señaló Yang. Entre el 65% y el 70% de los votantes de la AAPI apoyaron a Biden, y el 30% votó por Trump, en consonancia con los patrones de votación de 2012 y 2016.

Este sábado pasado, Joe Biden y Kamala Harris fueron los ganadores proyectados de las elecciones de 2020, relegando a Donald Trump a un solo término, incluso cuando se negó a ceder, y sus abogados intentaron maniobras legales para argumentar la idea de un “fraude electoral”. La boleta presidencial demócrata alcanzó ese objetivo principalmente porque las comunidades de color rechazaron por amplios márgenes a la Administración Trump, explicaron expertos que discutieron los números, la historia y las motivaciones de las elecciones electorales de las comunidades de color en Estados Unidos en una sesión informativa con Ethnic Media Services recientemente. Las encuestas a la víspera de las elecciones y las encuestas a boca de urna confirmaron que la mayoría de los votantes blancos votaron por el presidente Donald Trump, pero que los votantes asiáticos, latinos y Afroamericanos resultaron en números récord para derrocar al titular y para impulsar a la primera mujer de color a la Casa Blanca. Según la encuesta de American Election Eve de Latino Decisions, el 56% de los blancos votaron por Trump. Una encuesta a boca de urna de CNN encontró un número similar, el 57% de los blancos votando por el presidente. Pero los votantes de color eran una historia diferente. Según la encuesta de LD, el 70% de los latinos, el 89% de los Afroamericanos, el 68% de los asiáticos y el 60% de los indígenas estadounidenses votaron por Biden. “Quiero agradecer a las personas de color y comunidades de color por salvar nuestra democracia”, dijo Frank Sharry, director ejecutivo de America's Voice en la sesión informativa del 6 de noviembre organizada por Ethnic Media Services. “Hablando como hombre blanco, vengo de una comunidad que votó en la mayoría por Donald Trump. Y si no fuera por la comunidad Afroamericana, latina y asiática de las islas del Pacífico, no estaríamos celebrando la victoria que estamos celebrando hoy”, dijo Sharry.

Mientras que un tercio de los asiáticos americanos viven en los 10 estados del campo de batalla, y sería fácil atribuir el margen de victoria en Nevada, Arizona, Georgia y Pensilvania al voto de la AAPI. Pero Yang dijo que fueron los valores comunes los que unieron a los afroamericanos, los latinos, los nativos y los asiático-americanos los que proporcionaron el margen de victoria para Biden en esos estados.

Photo Credit: Joebiden.com Fue una elección muy reñida, un suspenso que duró desde el martes 3 de noviembre hasta la mañana del sábado 7 de noviembre, cuando las cifras oficiales dejaron en claro que Biden-Harris había obtenido los 270 votos necesarios del colegio electoral. Esa polarización y los estados en los que se desarrolló la ventaja de Biden dejaron en claro que los votos democráticos desiguales de las personas de color tuvieron un papel enorme en los resultados. Stephen Nuño-Perez, analista senior de Latino Decisions, cuya firma llevó a cabo una encuesta de votantes étnicos la víspera de las elecciones en estados clave en el campo de batalla, dijo que “es extremadamente difícil ganar una elección cuando se ha movilizado a minorías y latinos en Phoenix, Las Vegas y Albuquerque”. Los votantes latinos fueron fundamentales para cambiar el color de Arizona, dijo Nuno Pérez de Latino Decisions, señalando condados como Maricopa, Pima y Yuma, que tienen poblaciones latinas importantes. Los votantes latinos también dieron a conocer su presencia en Florida, entregando las victorias de Biden en Miami-Dade, Tampa Bay, Orlando y el condado de Broward. En Miami, los cubanoamericanos dieron su apoyo a Trump. Nuño advirtió sobre tomar algunos valores atípicos, como el voto cubano en Miami-Dade y un par de condados cerca de la frontera en Texas, donde

Trump lo hizo mucho mejor con los latinos, para proyectar eso en la narrativa más amplia. “Sí, los latinos no son un monolito, y sí, son un monolito, responden a ciertos tipos de mensajes y, a nivel nacional, el setenta por ciento de los latinos votaron por Biden. Ese es un patrón claro”, dijo. Theodore Johnson, investigador principal del Brennan Center for Justice, dijo que un verano de protestas por la justicia racial junto con las cifras desproporcionadas de COVID-19 y los niveles récord de desempleo en las comunidades Afroamericanas, impulsaron la participación de votantes Afroamericanos en cifras récord para eliminar a Donald Trump de la oficina. “Eso explica por qué vemos que Atlanta cambia a Michigan, Filadelfia cambia a Pensilvania, Milwaukee cambia a Wisconsin y Detroit cambia a Michigan”, dijo. "Ese es el entusiasmo y el poder del voto negro". En general, los votantes Afroamericanos fueron pragmáticos, señaló Johnson, señalando a Carolina del Sur, donde optaron por Joe Biden sobre Kamala Harris o Corey Booker. "Eligieron al candidato que pensaban que tenía más posibilidades de ganarse a los votantes blancos". Johnson atribuyó el pequeño aumento de hombres Afroamericanos que votaron por Trump a los republicanos Afroamericanos que habían optado por votar por el primer presidente negro en 2008 y 2012 y que ahora regresaban al Partido Republi-

Yang recordó el 16 de junio de 2015, cuando Trump bajó una escalera mecánica en Trump Towers para anunciar su candidatura a la Casa Blanca. “Ese fue un momento decisivo para mí y cambió mi trayectoria profesional. Cuando hablaba de que los extranjeros ilegales eran violadores, gánsteres y delincuentes, hablaba de mí porque en algún momento fui un inmigrante indocumentado”. Mark Trahant, editor de Indian Country Today, discutió el impacto del voto de los nativos americanos, indicando que un gran número de nativos americanos se postuló para cargos electos y que el Congreso del próximo año tendrá un grupo con tres republicanos y tres demócratas. “Esto le dará un giro bipartidista a las cuestiones indígenas”, dijo. Los nativos americanos también fueron elegidos para las legislaturas estatales, incluidas Arizona y Kansas. Sharry, de la voz de Estados Unidos, dijo que el voto masivo de las minorías fue también un rechazo al tema fundamental de Trump: la xenofobia y el racismo. “Un público estadounidense fue obligado por Donald Trump y su extremismo a elegir, y eligieron ponerse del lado de los refugiados e inmigrantes. Esta es una declaración de lo que dijo una mayoría multirracial en Estados Unidos durante esta elección. Dijeron 'queremos ser un país acogedor. No nos gusta la separación de familias de Trump’".

VOTERS OF COLOR RESTORED DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA IN 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

SUNITA SOHRABJI and PILAR MARRERO Ethnic Media Services

Brennan Center for Justice, said that a summer of protests for racial justice along with the disproportionate numbers from COVID-19 and record levels of unemployment in black communities, galvanized Black voter turnout in record numbers to remove Donald Trump from office.

n a country that is polarized and hurt by COVID-19 and a divisive leadership, a massive turnout of voters resulted in a close election where Democrat Joe Biden was pushed across the finish line by large majorities of voters of color.

“That explains why we're seeing Atlanta change Michigan, Philadelphia change Pennsylvania, Milwaukee change Wisconsin, and Detroit change Michigan,” he said. “That’s the enthusiasm and power of the Black vote.”

On Saturday, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were the projected winners of the 2020 elections, relegating Donald Trump to a one term, even as he refused to concede, and his lawyers tried legal maneuvers to argue electoral fraud. The Democratic presidential ticket reached that goal mainly because communities of color rejected the Trump Administration by large margins, explained experts who discussed the numbers, the history, and the motivations of electoral choices by communities of color in the United States in a briefing with ethnic media. Election eve surveys and exit polling confirmed that the majority of white voters voted for President Donald Trump, but that Asian Americans, Latinx, and Black voters turned out in record numbers to oust the incumbent, and to propel the first woman of color into the White House. According to the American Election Eve Poll by Latino Decisions, 56% of whites voted for Trump. A CNN exit poll found a similar number, 57% of whites voting for the President. But voters of color were a different story. According to the LD poll, 70% of Latinos, 89% of Blacks, 68% of Asians and 60% of American Indians voted for Biden. “I want to thank people of color and communities of color for saving our democracy,” said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice at the Nov. 6 briefing organized by Ethnic Media Services. “Speaking as a white man, I come from a community that voted in the majority for Donald Trump. And if it were not for the African American, Latinx, and Asian American Pacific Islander Community, we would not be celebrating the victory that we're celebrating today,” said Sharry. It was a very close election, a cliffhanger that lasted from Tuesday November 3rd until Saturday morning, November 7th, when the official numbers made it clear that Biden-Harris had clinched the 270 electoral college votes needed. That polarization and the states in which the Biden advantage played out made it clear that lopsided democratic votes by people of color had an outsize role in the results. Stephen Nuño-Perez, a senior analyst at Latino Decisions, whose firm conducted an election eve poll of ethnic voters in key battleground states, said that “it's extremely difficult to win an election when you have mobilized minorities and Latinos in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Albuquerque”. Latinx voters were critical in flipping Arizona blue, said Nuno Perez of Latino Decisions, pointing to counties such as Maricopa, Pima, and Yuma, which all have significant Latino populations.

Latinx voters also made their presence known in Florida, handing Biden victories in MiamiDade, Tampa Bay, Orlando, and Broward County. In Miami, Cuban Americans threw their support behind Trump. Nuño warned about taking some outliers, like the Cuban vote in Miami-Dade and a couple of counties near the border in Texas where

Trump did much better with Latinos, to project that into the larger narrative. “Yes, Latinos are not a monolith, and yes, they are a monolith, they do respond to certain types of messaging and at the national level, seventy percent of Latinos voted for Biden. That’s a clear pattern”, he said. Theodore Johnson, a senior fellow at the

Overall Black voters were pragmatic, Johnson noted, pointing to South Carolina where they opted for Joe Biden over Kamala Harris or Corey Booker. “They picked the candidate they thought had the best chance of winning over white voters.” Johnson attributed the small increase in Black males voting for Trump to those Black Republicans who had opted to vote for the first Black president in 2008 and 2012 and who were now returning to the Republican Party. Asian Americans turned out in significant numbers for the 2020 election, said John C. Yang, president and executive director of Asian Americans Advancing Justice/ AAJC. Some 300,000 were first-time voters. Exit polls plus pre-election polls showed there was much more enthusiasm to vote, Yang noted. Between 65%-70% of AAPI voters supported Biden, with 30 percent voting for Trump, consistent with voting patterns in 2012 and 2016. While one-third of Asian Americans live in the 10 battleground states, and it would be easy to attribute the margin of victory in Nevada, Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania to the AAPI vote. But Yang said it was the common values that brought Black, Latinx, Native and Asian Americans together that provided the margin of victory for Biden in those states. Yang recalled June 16, 2015, when Trump rode down an escalator at Trump Towers to announce his bid for the White House. “That was a defining moment for me and changed my career path. When he talked about illegal aliens being rapists and gangsters and criminals, he was talking about me because I was at one point an undocumented immigrant.” Mark Trahant, editor of Indian Country Today, discussed the impact of the Native American vote, indicating that a large number of Native Americans ran for elected office and that next year’s Congress will have a caucus with three Republicans and three Democrats. “This will give a bipartisan spin on Native issues,” he said. Native Americans were also elected to state Legislatures including Arizona and Kansas. Sharry, of America´s voice, said that the massive vote by minorities was also a rejection of Trump´s flagstone issue: xenophobia and racism. “An American public was forced by Donald Trump and his extremism to choose, and they chose to come down on the side of refugees and immigrants. This is a statement of what a multiracial majority in America said through this election. They said ‘we want to be a welcoming country. We don't like Trump’s separation of families.’”

Taking the 2021 Trailblazer AWD RS up high to the mountains and down low by the oceanside

Arturo Hilario El Observador

ecently I took the 2021 Trailblazer on two distinct adventures: a breezy, one hour drive up the Northern California coast to pick fall pumpkins alongside the oceanside community of Half Moon Bay, as well as a day trip out to the six thousand foot elevation of South Lake Tahoe amongst the giant Sierra Nevada Mountains. I must say, fun was had. In both situations, as well as the in-between moments of driving to the grocery store or taking a drive around the block to see a Halloween decorated neighborhood, the Trailblazer held its own, never did I think or feel the vehicle would lose power or struggle, it was always a smooth ride, and perfect for all conditions I threw at it. The specific model I was able to try out was the 2021 Trailblazer AWD RS, a 9-speed automatic transmission which leaves no room for sluggishness as it zips from city streets to climbing the scenic Sierra Mountains. The outside of the car is sharp and modern looking, and was fitted with the RS specials: such as a black accents and trim, 18” high gloss black aluminum wheels, as well as the best part of it in my opinion, the Oasis Blue color of the SUV (which can be had on non-RS models as well). A bright, but not too intense blue, it caught many eyes. Even in the picturesque peaks of a visitor center parking lot up in the mountains of Lake Tahoe, someone took their eyes off the vista for a second to admire and comment on the color and distinct lines of the car. Besides the color and accent trim of the RS, the base architecture of the Trailblazer is pretty fierce and fun for a compact SUV. In my opinion, as other SUV manufacturers create more boxy profiles, which can look good, I am very impressed with the direction of the Trailblazer’s profile. Even to me, the grill and front itself looks almost like another Chevy great, the Camaro. When your pint-sized SUV looks and feels like a speed machine, it’s a great thing to drive around. And although the footprint of the Trailblazer is small, measuring 173.50 in in length and 71.20 inches wide, it is “design magic” how the space is used. Although you won’t be carrying the touring kit for the Rolling Stones in the back, the ratio of space for passenger comfort and storage is particularly good.

Llevando la Trailblazer AWD RS 2021 hasta las montañas y bajando por la orilla del océano

Pumpkins and Peaks For my trip to Half Moon Bay California, the intent was to pick up some fresh fall pumpkins, for Halloween and general fall presentation outside my home - and for eating. Although I did not make any jack-o-lanterns this year my partner was able to make a delicious Butternut squash soup with some of our haul. And our “Halloween” pumpkin display outside still serves the purpose of bringing fall feelings to our sunny California neighborhood even as of writing. Half Moon Bay is a pretty simple ride and getting to the pumpkin patch we parked on a dirt parking spot which was no match for an all-wheeldrive Trailblazer. On the other hand, out by the Nevada Stateline when we traversed Lake Tahoe for the day, the 2021 Trailblazer performed superbly amongst the curves and constant changes in elevation and grade. Being up high in the mountains and watching out for passing lanes and traffic in general was made much easier with the Chevrolet features such as the lane change alerts and Infotainment 3 Plus, which kept our podcasts, music, and Google Maps handy. The dual-pane, panoramic sunroof gave fantastic views of the mountains around us and although it let in plenty of light, we were glad they have a nice tint to them. At the top of the road, high above Lake Tahoe’s Emerald Bay, we stopped at a parking lot for the Vikingsholm House State Park. Vikingsholm is a 38-room castle which sits at the bottom of the Sierra Mountains, at the lakeside of Emerald Bay. Mrs. Lora Josephine Knight finished construction on this Scandinavian inspired summer home in 1929 and enjoyed 15 summers of it throughout her life. While the Trailblazer enjoyed the sights of the parking lot, my partner and I zigzagged down the mountain to the castle and admired the views of the lake from up close. At the end of our excursion, we hiked back up to the peak, and enjoyed a relaxing journey back home in the Trailblazer. The heated seat warmers were our friends. The 2021 Trailblazer AWD RS was a great vehicle for running errands and going on Fall adventures. I think it would do just fine in any season.

Arturo Hilario El Observador

ecientemente, tomé el Trailblazer 2021 en dos aventuras distintas: un viaje de una hora por la costa norte de California para recoger calabazas de otoño junto a la comunidad costera de Half Moon Bay, así como un viaje de un día a la elevación de seis mil pies del sur. Lake Tahoe entre las gigantescas montañas de Sierra Nevada. Debo decir que fue divirtió.

En ambas situaciones, así como en los momentos intermedios de conducir a la tienda de comestibles o dar la vuelta a la cuadra para ver un vecindario decorado con Halloween, el Trailblazer se mantuvo firme, nunca pensé o sentí que el vehículo iba a perder potencia o lucha, siempre fue un viaje suave y perfecto para todas las condiciones que me propuse. El modelo específico que pude probar fue el Trailblazer AWD RS 2021, una transmisión automática de 9 velocidades que no deja espacio para la lentitud mientras pasa de las calles de la ciudad a escalar las pintorescas montañas de la Sierra. El exterior del coche es elegante y de aspecto moderno, y estaba equipado con las características especiales de RS: como detalles y molduras en negro, llantas de aluminio negro de alto brillo de 18”, así como la mejor parte, en mi opinión, el azul Oasis. color del SUV (que también se puede tener en modelos que no son RS). Un azul brillante, pero no demasiado intenso, llamó la atención de muchos. Incluso en los pintorescos picos del estacionamiento de un centro de visitantes en las montañas del lago Tahoe, alguien apartó la vista de la vista por un segundo para admirar y comentar el color y las distintas líneas del automóvil. Además del color y los detalles decorativos del RS, la arquitectura básica del Trailblazer es bastante feroz y divertida para un SUV compacto. En mi opinión, como otros fabricantes de SUV crean perfiles más cuadrados, que pueden verse bien, estoy muy impresionado con la dirección del perfil de la Trailblazer. Incluso para mí, la parrilla y el frente se parecen casi a otro gran Chevy, el Camaro. Cuando su SUV del tamaño de una pinta se ve y se siente como una máquina de velocidad, es una gran cosa para conducir. Y aunque la huella de la Trailblazer es pequeña, midiendo 173.50 pulgadas de largo y 71.20 pulgadas de ancho, es "magia de diseño" cómo se usa el espacio. Aunque no llevarás el kit de viaje para los Rolling Stones en la parte trasera, la proporción de espacio para la comodidad del pasajero y el almacenamiento es particularmente buena.

Calabazas y picos Para mi viaje a Half Moon Bay California, la intención era recoger algunas calabazas frescas de otoño, para Halloween y la presentación general de otoño fuera de mi casa, y para comer. Aunque no hice ningún jack-o-lanterns este año, mi compañero pudo hacer una deliciosa sopa de calabaza con algo de nuestro botín. Y nuestra exhibición de calabazas “Halloween” en el exterior todavía tiene el propósito de traer sentimientos otoñales a nuestro soleado vecindario de California incluso al momento de escribir. Half Moon Bay es un viaje bastante simple y llegar al huerto de calabazas que estacionamos en un lugar de estacionamiento de tierra que no era rival para un Trailblazer con tracción en las cuatro ruedas. Por otro lado, en la línea estatal de Nevada cuando atravesamos el lago Tahoe durante el día, el Trailblazer 2021 se desempeñó de manera excelente entre las curvas y los cambios constantes de elevación y grado. Estar en lo alto de las montañas y estar atento a los carriles de adelantamiento y el tráfico en general se hizo mucho más fácil con las funciones de Chevrolet, como las alertas de cambio de carril e Infotainment 3 Plus, que mantuvieron a mano nuestros podcasts, música y Google Maps. El techo corredizo panorámico de doble panel ofrecía unas vistas fantásticas de las montañas que nos rodeaban y, aunque dejaba entrar mucha luz, nos alegramos de que tuvieran un tinte agradable. En la parte superior de la carretera, muy por encima de la bahía Esmeralda del lago Tahoe, nos detuvimos en un estacionamiento del parque estatal Vikingsholm House. Vikingsholm es un castillo de 38 habitaciones que se encuentra al pie de las montañas Sierra, a orillas del lago de Emerald Bay. La Sra. Lora Josephine Knight terminó la construcción de esta casa de verano de inspiración escandinava en 1929 y disfrutó de 15 veranos a lo largo de su vida. Mientras el Trailblazer disfrutaba de las vistas del estacionamiento, mi compañero y yo bajamos en zigzag por la montaña hasta el castillo y admiramos las vistas del lago de cerca. Al final de nuestra excursión, volvimos a caminar hasta la cima y disfrutamos de un relajante viaje de regreso a casa en el Trailblazer. Los calentadores de asientos con calefacción eran nuestros amigos. El Trailblazer AWD RS 2021 fue un gran vehículo para hacer mandados y emprender aventuras de otoño. Creo que estaría bien en cualquier temporada.

"Se han relacionado muchos impactos en la salud con el bisfenol, como la diabetes, el aumento de peso, el asma, la infertilidad, la hiperactividad en los niños y muchos cánceres como el de mama y el de próstata", destacó Segedie.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Big box retailer Target has announced it will eliminate toxic chemicals from its receipts by the end of the year.

Mamavation reunió 51.000 firmas para solicitar a Target que hiciera el cambio.

The company will stop using bisphenol S and bisphenol A, which are what give a shiny coating to thermal paper, used for many airline tickets and receipts from stores and ATMs.

CVS, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's y Best Buy también han dejado de usar los productos químicos, conocidos como BPA y BPS, que se sabe que son disruptores endocrinos.

Leah Segedie, a consumer watchdog with the website Mamavation.com, said the move will make millions of Americans safer.

El BPA ha recibido mucha atención negativa en los últimos años, sin embargo, todavía es muy común, incrustado en latas de alimentos y bebidas, plástico de policarbonato, juguetes para niños y mangueras de jardín.

"A lot of health impacts have been linked to bisphenol, like diabetes, weight gain, asthma, infertility, hyperactivity in children, and lots of cancers like breast cancer and prostate cancer," Segedie outlined. Mamavation gathered 51,000 signatures to petition Target to make the change. CVS, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and Best Buy also have stopped using the chemicals, known as BPA and BPS, which are known to be endocrine disruptors. BPA has received a lot of negative attention in recent years, yet it is still very common, embedded in food and beverage cans, polycarbonate plastic, children's toys and garden hoses.

By 2021, Target's receipts will no longer be coated with bisphenol A or bisphenol S, chemicals that have been linked to endocrine health issues. Photo Credit: Mamavation

Some companies responded by replacing BPA with BPS.

Algunas empresas respondieron reemplazando el BPA por BPS.

However, Segedie noted multiple new studies warn BPS is also hazardous, especially because the powder rubs off and can be easily absorbed through the skin.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. – La tienda de caja grande Target ha anunciado que eliminará los químicos tóxicos de sus recibos para fin de año.

Sin embargo, Segedie señaló que varios estudios nuevos advierten que el BPS también es peligroso, especialmente porque el polvo se desprende y se puede absorber fácilmente a través de la piel.

"If you're a woman or if you're a child, your exposure level is actually higher because your skin is thinner than a man's," Segedie explained. "So men's exposure would be lower."

La empresa dejará de utilizar bisfenol S y bisfenol A, que son los que dan una capa brillante al papel térmico, que se utiliza para muchos billetes de avión y recibos de tiendas y cajeros automáticos.

"Si eres mujer o si eres un niño, tu nivel de exposición es en realidad más alto porque tu piel es más delgada que la de un hombre", explicó Segedie. "Así que la exposición de los hombres sería menor".

Los defensores dicen que el cambio será particularmente beneficioso para las cajeras embarazadas, que manejan los recibos durante todo el día en el trabajo.

EATTLE -- The Trump campaign is challenging the results of the election in court, but so far is coming up short in proving allegations of voter fraud. President Donald Trump has lawsuits in a handful of states. In Pennsylvania, his campaign won a small victory in state court, ruling that officials must segregate a small number of mail-in ballots in case the secretary of state's extended deadline to receive them is found unconstitutional. But Lisa Manheim, an associate professor at the University of Washington School of Law, said she's seen no evidence of fraud that could change the election outcome.

be the last -- disputed election, but noted that Trump's claims of a "stolen" election aren't normal. "Disputed elections are pretty common, and that's why we have well-established legal procedures in place to resolve those disputes," she said. "What is not common about what's going on, what is actually unusual about this election, is the rhetoric." Support for this reporting was provided by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

Eric Tegethoff Public News Service

EATTLE - La campaña de Trump está desafiando los resultados de las elecciones en los tribunales, pero hasta ahora se ha quedado corta para probar las acusaciones de fraude electoral. El presidente Donald Trump tiene juicios en un puñado de estados. En Pensilvania, su campaña obtuvo una pequeña victoria en la corte estatal, dictaminando que los funcionarios deben segregar una pequeña cantidad de boletas por

correo en caso de que la fecha límite extendida del secretario de estado para recibirlas se considere inconstitucional. Pero Lisa Manheim, profesora asociada de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad de Washington, dijo que no ha visto evidencia de fraude que pueda cambiar el resultado de las elecciones. "El fraude electoral es una acusación seria y debe estar respaldada con evidencia real", dijo. "Y es esa evidencia de la que simplemente no estamos viendo ningún grado, en una cantidad que posiblemente podría anular el resultado de las elecciones". Manheim señaló que incluso si el plazo extendido en Pensilvania se declara inconstitucional, el tribunal no decidirá anular el resultado de la votación. En cambio, ajustaría el conteo por el número de boletas identificadas en la demanda. El liderazgo del presidente electo Joe Biden es de más de 45.000 votos en el estado de Keystone.

"Voter fraud is a serious allegation, and it needs to be backed up with actual evidence," she said. "And it's that evidence that we are just not seeing any degree of, in an amount that could possibly overturn the result of the election."

Esta semana, el fiscal general de los Estados Unidos, William Barr, autorizó al Departamento de Justicia a investigar las denuncias de fraude electoral. Manheim dijo que Barr puede hacer eso bajo la ley, siempre que el Departamento de Justicia investigue acusaciones creíbles.

Manheim noted that even if the extended deadline in Pennsylvania is ruled unconstitutional, the court wouldn't decide to overturn the outcome of the vote. Instead, it would adjust the count by the number of ballots identified in the lawsuit. President-elect Joe Biden's lead is more than 45,000 votes in the Keystone State.

"Si el Departamento de Justicia va más allá", dijo, "la pregunta se convierte no sólo en una cuestión legal, sino en la pregunta de qué mensaje está enviando el Departamento de Justicia". En su papel de presidente, dijo Manheim, Trump es principalmente un espectador cuando se trata de impugnaciones legales de los resultados electorales.

This week, U.S. Attorney General William Barr authorized the Department of Justice to investigate voter-fraud claims. Manheim said Barr can do that under the law, as long as the DOJ investigates credible allegations.

"La ley no otorga a un presidente en funciones esencialmente ningún papel legal que desempeñar en la resolución de una elección", dijo. "Como candidato, un presidente en funciones puede presentar demandas, pero eso es cierto para cualquier candidato".

"If DOJ goes further than that," she said, "the question becomes not only a legal one, but a question of what message the Department of Justice is sending."

Agregó que esta no es la primera, y no será la última, elección en disputa, pero señaló que las afirmaciones de Trump de una elección "robada" no son normales.

In his role as president, Manheim said, Trump is mostly a bystander when it comes to legal challenges to election results.

"Las elecciones disputadas son bastante comunes, y es por eso que tenemos procedimientos legales bien establecidos para resolver esas disputas", dijo. "Lo que no es común acerca de lo que está sucediendo, lo que es realmente inusual en esta elección, es la retórica".

"The law gives a sitting president essentially no legal role to play at all in the resolution of an election," she said. "As a candidate, a sitting president is able to file lawsuits -- but that's true of any candidate."

Todas las agencias federales tienen libros informativos y un equipo de transición establecido, pero no está claro si se les permitirá cooperar con el personal de Biden antes de que se resuelvan las demandas.

ARTFORD, Conn. -- Members of the National Task Force on Election Crises are speaking out about President Donald Trump's refusal to concede the election, saying it could have major repercussions if it continues.

Vanita Gupta, presidenta de la Conferencia de Liderazgo en Derechos Civiles y Humanos, dijo que ve los tuits de Trump como parte de una campaña de desinformación para sembrar desconfianza.

The head of the General Services Administration is holding up almost $10 million for the Biden/Harris transition. Kate Shaw, a professor at the Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York, said she expects the voter fraud lawsuits launched by the Trump campaign to fail. "It is very difficult for me to see the GSA administrator defensively continuing to decline to make this determination," she said, "which does, I think, very much hinder the transition team." All federal agencies have briefing books and a transition team in place, but it is unclear if they will be allowed to cooperate with Biden staffers before the lawsuits are resolved. Vanita Gupta, president of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, said she sees Trump's tweets as part of a disinformation campaign to sow distrust. "It can make it more difficult in the future to have buy-in on a common agenda," she said, "and in this moment of a global pandemic, that could actually risk American lives." Just before the election, Trump issued an executive order making it easier to fire civil servants without cause. Norm Ornstein, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, warned that the outgoing president could use the new powers to wreak havoc. "If you use it on a whole bunch of people in the infec-

Ornstein also said he worries that the president will pardon staffers who destroy records, such as the presidential communications with foreign leaders, the child-separation policy at the southern border and government contracts. "I'm particularly concerned about the preservation of records for people who are going to want to cover their tracks," he said, "both for potential criminal culpability but also embarrassment."

ARTFORD, Conn. - Los miembros del Grupo de Trabajo Nacional sobre Crisis Electorales están hablando sobre la negativa del presidente Donald Trump a conceder la elección, diciendo que podría tener grandes repercusiones si continúa.

Ornstein también dijo que le preocupa que el presidente indulte al personal que destruya registros, como las comunicaciones presidenciales con líderes extranjeros, la política de separación de niños en la frontera sur y los contratos gubernamentales.

El jefe de la Administración de Servicios Generales está reteniendo casi $ 10 millones para la transición Biden / Harris. Kate Shaw, profesora de la Facultad de Derecho Cardozo de la Universidad Yeshiva en Nueva York, dijo que espera que fracasen las demandas por fraude electoral iniciadas por la campaña de Trump.

"Estoy particularmente preocupado por la preservación de los registros de las personas que van a querer cubrir sus huellas", dijo, "tanto por culpabilidad criminal potencial como por vergüenza".

"Es muy difícil para mí ver que el administrador de la GSA continúe a la defensiva negándose a tomar esta determinación", dijo, "lo que, creo, obstaculiza mucho al equipo de transición".

DOCTOR’S NOTES: AT THIS PRESCHOOL FOR TRAUMATIZED KIDS, EMOTIONAL CARE COMES FIRST, THEN ACADEMICS twos,” Amy Huang said. “We thought he had escaped the meth-effects.” But, unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. In January, when Reggie returned to preschool after winter vacation, he started having extreme behaviors. He became defiant and aggressive. He was biting, hitting strangers and at times getting on all fours and acting like an animal. His parents were frustrated and worried that the problems were related to his drug exposure.

“Therapeutic preschool uses the neuro-sequential model,” said Jesus Parra, the regional director for clinical services for Children’s Institute. This approach provides a framework for helping a child, keeping in mind his or her trauma history, developmental stage, and current ability to function. Photo Credit: Itati Tapia / Pexels

eggie, now 5, was exposed to methamphetamines in utero and, after he was born, his biological mother wasn’t able to care for him. When he was 4-weeks-old, I was his doctor in the foster-care clinic at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center. He was adopted by one of my pediatric colleagues, Amy Huang, and her husband, Daniel. Because Reggie is a minor, his and his parents’ names have been changed. “He was the best baby, no withdrawals, no terrible

The effects of methamphetamines on infants in the womb run a wide spectrum, from mild learning problems to significant impairment of brain function. These infants may be born premature, have low birth weight or suffer withdrawals causing jitteriness, irritability, and poor feeding. In addition, methaddicted mothers often have poor health and may use other substances such as marijuana, tobacco, alcohol, and cocaine. All of these can have negative effects on the infant’s development, as well as the mother’s ability to parent. ChrisAnna Mink is a pediatrician who practices in South Los Angeles. Researchers have shown that children who were meth-exposed in utero have difficulties with their brain’s executive function, which is the central command for organizing thoughts, planning, and learning. These children also have an increased risk of disruptive behaviors and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), as well as depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses, when compared to non-exposed peers. Some of these problems don’t become obvious until the cognitive and behavioral demands of a classroom. By spring, Reggie’s behavior was spiraling out of control and his preschool teachers couldn’t cope with him. The Huangs took him out of that school but didn’t know where to turn.

I recommended Children’s Institute Inc, as did some other friends with an adopted child who had also been exposed to drugs. I was familiar with the Institute’s therapeutic preschool called Day Treatment Intensive, DTI. Over the past 12 years, I have referred many children with behavioral difficulties due to drug exposure, abuse, neglect, and other psychological traumas. DTI “looks like a regular preschool,” said Nicole Fauscette, a licensed family therapist and supervisor of the program, but it offers real-time, individual therapy. First, DTI focuses on mental health, in a supportive and developmentally appropriate preschool setting. The school adds in academics as the children are ready.

mental stage, and current ability to function. “We help the kids get to a place where they can regulate their behaviors, increase their attention (and) their tolerance of frustration, and better navigate peer and adult relationships,” said Fauscette. The goal is to help the children achieve emotional stability, so they’ll be ready for a traditional learning environment. The staff and volunteers at DTI are chosen in part because of their temperament and ability to regulate their own emotions. These qualities are as valued as their education, though most have backgrounds in child development, psychology, or mental health.

The Children’s Institute building on Harbor-UCLA’s campus is surrounded by playgrounds. The inside is decorated in lively colors, and it’s neatly cluttered with toys and children. It looks like Crayola designed a home inviting visitors to come play.

“An adult in control of their emotions helps children who are not in control of theirs,” said Parra, who leads some of the staff trainings.

Children ages 2½ to 5 are eligible. Many have been expelled from regular preschool. DTI has space for 12 children and classrooms have, on average, one staff member for every two kids. Referrals come from child protective services, pediatricians, Head Start, internal mental health programs and community mental health agencies.

Reggie started at DTI in early May. The teachers observed that when he behaves like a dinosaur or other animal, it is because he is feeling anxious and frightened. In this way, they reason, he is attempting to defend himself against the danger he perceives. So, instead of punishing him for disobeying, Reggie’s teachers approach him calmly and help him address his anxiety.

DTI is one of less than a dozen such specialized programs in Los Angeles County, which is home to nearly 330,000 children younger than five. About 20 percent of those kids live in poverty and most have experienced adversity. The need far exceeds the slots available. “Therapeutic preschool uses the neuro-sequential model,” said Jesus Parra, the regional director for clinical services for Children’s Institute. This approach provides a framework for helping a child, keeping in mind his or her trauma history, develop-

The program aims, Parra said, for “the parents to fall in love with their child again.”

In the last few months, Reggie has made progress learning to use words—and not aggression—to express his emotions. The Huangs have already noticed a change. The teachers “were able to describe to us how Reggie interprets his world,” Daniel Huang said. “It’s helping—him and me.” Pediatrician ChrisAnna Mink writes the bimonthly Doctor’s Notes column on children’s health.

"Tuvimos un número récord de mujeres nativas americanas que se postularon para cargos públicos en este ciclo para la Cámara de los Estados Unidos", observó Dittmar. "Y hicimos un seguimiento de eso a lo largo del ciclo electoral, señalando la importancia de eso para diversificar el grupo de mujeres que se postulan".

LBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- When the U.S. Congress convenes in January, a record number of women will be representing their

Republican and Democratic women elected this year also will witness another milestone, when Kamala Harris becomes the first female and first Black vice president.

Deb Haaland, demócrata por Nuevo México, retuvo su puesto, mientras que Teresa Leger Fernández, demócrata por Nuevo México, será la primera mujer y latina en representar al norte de Nuevo México en el Congreso.

Kelly Dittmar, director of research at the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, said November 2020 was a watershed year for African-Americans, Asian-Americans and other women who've long been excluded from many aspects of politics.

En el segundo distrito del Congreso de Nuevo México, Yvette Herrell, R-N.M., Derrotó a la titular demócrata para ganar su primer mandato representando al estado.

"We did have a record number of Native American women who ran for office this cycle for the U.S. House," Dittmar observed. "And we tracked that over the course of the election cycle, noting the importance of that in diversifying the pool of women who run."

At least 131 women - 100 Democrats, and 31 Republicans - will serve in Congress in 2021, surpassing the record of 127 set two years ago, according to the Center for American Women and Politics. Photo Credit: Gage Skidmore (CC BY-SA 2.0)

The orders end on the expiration date in item 4 on page 1. If no date is listed, they end three years from the hearing date. Arrest required if Order is Violated If an officer has probable cause to believe that the restrained person had notice of the order and has disobeyed the order, the officer must arrest the restrained person (Pen. Code, 836(c)(1), 13701(b).) A violation of the order may be a violation of Penal Code section 166 or 273.6. Notice/Proof of Service Law enforcement must first determine if the restrained person had notice of the order. If notice cannot be verified, the restrained person must be advised of the terms of the orders. If the restrained person then fails to obey the order, the officer must enforce them. (Family Code, 6833.) Consider the restrained person “served” (notified) if: - The officer sees a copy of the Proof of Service or confirms that the Proof of Service is on file; pr - The restrained person was at the restraining order hearing or was informed of the order by an officer. (Fam. Code, 6383; Pen. Code 836(c) (2).) An officer can obtain information about the contents of the order in the Domestic Violence

Code 136.2 and Fam Code 6383(h)(2), 6405(b)): 1.

NOV 13 - NOV 19, 2020 restraining or protective order. 2. No Contact Order: If there is no EPO, a no-contact order that is included in a restraining or protective order has precedence in enforcement over any other restraining or protective order. 3. Criminal Order: If none of the orders includes a no-contact order, a domestic violence protective order issued in a criminal case takes precedence in enforcement over any conflicting civil court order. Any nonconflicting terms of the civil restraining order remain in effect and enforceable. 4.

owerful Hurricane Eta has left an enormous destruction in its path through Central America. The climatic phenomenon attacked the whole region with mighty force. The countries that have been most affected are Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. The rest of the countries were also affected but with less intensity. In Guatemala a mudslide buried a village where over two hundred people died; the storm caused catastrophic floods. Honduras is the country that has been hit the hardest in this tragedy, it's calculated that two million people have been the victims of this disaster. One fourth of the country has been destroyed, buried under mud. Whole families have lost everything. Thousands of children and elderly people are sleeping under the elements and

God bless the people of Honduras!

Guatemala has started to recover slowly since only one region of the country suffered considerable damages, same as Belize and Nicaragua. In the case of Honduras, it is most concerning due to the Hurricane passing through the whole country, leaving death, destruction and disaster in its path. The crops were destroyed, many animals drowned and perished. Literally thousands of people don't know how they will feed their children. This is the time to show our generosity toward our sister republic of Honduras; if you can donate, please do so! We can make the difference; we can bring refuge and food to hundreds of thousands of people that have been left homeless and in the streets.

CRISIS HUMANITARIA EN HONDURAS

Against the magnitude of the disaster, the government of El Salvador has extended its brotherly hand and provided help to Honduras and Guatemala. President Nayib Bukele sent medicine, food and rescue groups to both countries. The help to both neighboring countries is calculated to be over two million dollars. A wonderful and welcomed gesture on the part of El Salvador. But the need in these moments is enormous, and the help and presence of the international community is urgently needed in Central America. The region has been devastated by this terrible Hurricane.

l potente Huracán Eta ha dejado por su paso en Centroamérica, una enorme destrucción. El fenómeno climatológico atacó con fuerza a toda la región. Los naciones más afectadas han sido Honduras, Guatemala y Nicaragua. Los otros cuatro países centroamericanos también fueron perjudicados pero con menor intensidad. En Guatemala un alud sepultó un caserío en dónde murieron más de doscientas personas, la tormenta causó inundaciones catastróficas. Honduras es el país más golpeado por esta tragedia, se calcula que dos millones de personas han quedado damnificadas ante el desastre. "La cuarta parte del país está destruida, hundida en el lodo". Familias enteras lo han perdido todo. Millares de niños y ancianos duermen a la intemperie y no tienen qué comer.

Ante la magnitud del desastre, el gobierno de El Salvador, ha extendido su mano de hermandad y está brindando ayuda a Honduras y a Guatemala. El Presidente Nayib Bukele, envió a ambos países, medicamentos, alimentos y grupos de rescate. La ayuda para los dos países vecinos se calcula en más de dos millones de dólares. Un gesto maravilloso y solidario de parte de El Salvador. Pero la necesidad en estos momentos es inmensa, se necesita urgentemente que la comunidad internacional se pronuncie y decida ayudar a Centroamérica. "La región ha quedado devastada por este terrible Huracán”. Guatemala comienza a reponerse lentamente ya que sólo una región del país sufrió daños considerables, al igual que Belice y Nicaragua. El caso de Honduras es más preocupante; el Huracán atravesó todo el país, dejando a su paso muerte, destrucción y desastre. Los cultivos fueron destruidos, muchos animales perecieron ahogados. Literalmente millares de familias no saben como alimentarán a sus hijos. Es hora de mostrar nuestra generosidad hacia el país hermano de Honduras, si pueden donar háganlo. Nosotros podemos hacer la diferencia, podemos brindar refugio y alimento a cientos de miles de personas que han quedado totalmente desamparadas. ¡Dios bendiga al pueblo de Honduras!

NC EXPERTS FORECAST CLIMATE OUTLOOK UNDER BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ENGLISH mitment to address climate change under Executive Order 80 further into effect. A 2019 Pew poll found across political party lines, 77% of Americans agree the nation should be developing alternative-energy sources such as wind and solar power, and decrease production of fossil fuels. Associate Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at UNC Charlotte Brian Magi said policies at the state level will continue to protect air quality for North Carolina residents. "I think we were excited even before the election began about a lot of the prospects that North Carolina has going forward into the future," Magi said. "Part of that is leadership at the top levels of the state, providing a pathway for a clean energy future."

ALEIGH, N.C. -- Recovery from the pandemic will likely be the focus of the incoming administration, but environmental experts say actions to address climate change should be included in economic stimulus plans. Joel Porter, policy manager at Clean Air Carolina, said President-elect Joe Biden could boost cleanenergy growth and infrastructure development, as well as declare climate change a national emergency. He said North Carolina already is leading the way. "We've got a very strong clean-energy economy that's been growing over the course of the last ten years," Porter said. "And that's poised to only continue to grow if the right policies are in place," He said environmental groups across the state also are encouraging Gov. Roy Cooper to move his com-

Magi moderated a virtual panel this week looking at how climate change is impacting residents as part of State of the Climate 2020, a special 12-hour online giving day in support of clean air and climate solutions in North Carolina. Porter said he expects Biden to reverse numerous environmental rollbacks made under the Trump administration. He pointed out many industries support long-term solutions when it comes to environmental policy. "And we're talking about really big companies that do a lot for the economy. And at a certain point, companies will want regulatory certainty," he said. "Regardless of who's in power, they just want to know that they're playing by a fixed set of rules so that they don't have to keep changing the way that they operate every four years." He said the Biden administration could further develop the Obama-era Clean Power Plan to regulate greenhouse-gas emissions from power plants, as well as implement stricter mileage standards and caps on auto emissions for vehicle manufacturers.

EXPERTOS DE CAROLINA DEL NORTE PRONOSTICAN LAS PERSPECTIVAS CLIMÁTICAS BAJO LA ADMINISTRACIÓN DE BIDEN ESPAÑOL

Nadia Ramlagan Servicio de noticias públicas

ALEIGH, N.C. - La recuperación de la pandemia probablemente será el foco de la administración entrante, pero los expertos ambientales dicen que las acciones para abordar el cambio climático deben incluirse en los planes de estímulo económico. Joel Porter, gerente de políticas de Clean Air Carolina, dijo que el presidente electo Joe Biden podría impulsar el crecimiento de la energía limpia y el desarrollo de infraestructura, así como declarar el cambio climático como una emergencia nacional. Dijo que Carolina del Norte ya está liderando el camino. "Tenemos una economía de energía limpia muy fuerte que ha estado creciendo en el transcurso de los últimos diez años", dijo Porter. "Y eso solo seguirá creciendo si se implementan las políticas adecuadas". Dijo que los grupos ambientalistas de todo el estado también están alentando al gobernador Roy Cooper a hacer que su compromiso de abordar el cambio climático bajo la Orden Ejecutiva 80 entre en vigor.

"Creo que estábamos entusiasmados incluso antes de que comenzaran las elecciones sobre muchas de las perspectivas que tiene Carolina del Norte en el futuro", dijo Magi. "Parte de eso es el liderazgo en los niveles más altos del estado, proporcionando un camino para un futuro de energía limpia". Magi moderó un panel virtual esta semana para ver cómo el cambio climático está afectando a los residentes como parte del State of the Climate 2020, un día especial de 12 horas en línea para dar apoyo al aire limpio y las soluciones climáticas en Carolina del Norte. Porter dijo que espera que Biden revierta numerosos retrocesos ambientales realizados bajo la administración Trump. Señaló que muchas industrias apoyan soluciones a largo plazo en lo que respecta a la política ambiental. "Y estamos hablando de empresas realmente grandes que hacen mucho por la economía. Y en cierto punto, las empresas querrán certeza regulatoria", dijo. "Independientemente de quién esté en el poder, solo quieren saber que están jugando con un conjunto fijo de reglas para no tener que seguir cambiando la forma en que operan cada cuatro años".

Una encuesta de Pew de 2019 encontró que a través de las líneas de los partidos políticos, el 77% de los estadounidenses están de acuerdo en que la nación debería desarrollar fuentes de energía alternativas como la energía eólica y solar, y disminuir la producción de combustibles fósiles.

Dijo que la administración Biden podría desarrollar aún más el Plan de Energía Limpia de la era de Obama para regular las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de las plantas de energía, así como implementar estándares de kilometraje más estrictos y límites a las emisiones de automóviles para los fabricantes de vehículos.

El profesor asociado de Ciencias Atmosféricas de la UNC Charlotte Brian Magi dijo que las políticas a nivel estatal continuarán protegiendo la calidad del aire para los residentes de Carolina del Norte.
