no de los más rigurosos y extensos estudios sobre la aceptación de la vacuna del COVID-19 arroja preocupantes cifras sobre la desconfianza y temor de las comunidades de color de los Estados Unidos, específicamente latina y afroamericana, a ponerse la vacuna tan pronto como sea aprobada por la FDA y esté disponible, lo cual puede ocurrir en un plazo relativamente corto de tiempo.

As a result of doubts or ignorance of the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine, the study shows that eight out of 10 black adults would wait to receive the vaccine instead of receiving it as soon as it is available and only 19% would get it sooner. possible. About seven out of 10 Hispanic adults would also wait.

De la misma forma, apenas el 14% de los adultos afroamericanos y el 34% de los adultos hispanos, creen que la vacuna será segura. Como resultado de las dudas o el desconocimiento de la seguridad y efectividad de la vacuna, el estudio muestra que ocho de cada 10 adultos negros esperarían para recibir la vacuna en lugar de recibirla tan pronto como esté disponible y sólo el 19% lo obtendría lo antes posible. Aproximadamente siete de cada 10 adultos hispanos también esperarían. Se trata de cifras alarmantes si consideramos que las comunidades hispanas y afroamericanas están siendo devastadas desproporcionalmente por la pandemia. Tanto las cifras de contagio, hospitalizaciones y muertes son superiores a las de los blancos no hispanos, una tendencia que incluso agravado para la comunidad latina.

• Los mejores mensajeros son con frecuencia los personajes más cercanos a casa, incluyendo líderes comunitarios y en particular, los médicos familiares o en su caso, los promotores de salud. • Los mensajes deben enfatizar un sentido de responsabilidad personal para la vacunación y promover la presión social. El estudio muestra que la resistencia a la vacunación es marcadamente menor en las comunidades hispanas que en las negras, y los niveles de confianza en las instituciones y los mensajeros institucionales es marcadamente más alto. Por lo tanto, se requieren estrategias diferenciadas para lograr elevar cuanto antes el nivel de aceptación de una vacuna que podría ser vital para ambas comunidades.

ne of the most rigorous and extensive studies on the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine shows worrying figures about the distrust and fear of the communities of color in the United States, specifically Latino and African-American, to get the vaccine as soon as it is approved by the FDA and available, which can happen in a relatively short period of time.

Involving 1,050 African American adults and 258 Latino adults and prepared in September, before the advancements in the Pfizer, Moderna and AstraSeneca vaccines were known, the survey shows that only 18% of African American adults and El estudio completo puede leerse 40% of Hispanic adults are confident aquí: https://bit.ly/2KBQBQi in the effectiveness of the vaccine.

But the study, commissioned by the COVID Collective, Langer Research, UNIDOSUS and the NAACP, offers a roadmap to raise the levels of vaccine acceptance between both communities. Among his recommendations: • Demystify the vaccine development process, ensuring that communities have access to quality information that helps develop their understanding of science. • To rely for them on people or institutions in which the communities trust. The list is headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci, the FDA, pharmacies, and drug companies. • The best messengers are often the people closest to home, including community leaders and in particular, family doctors or, where appropriate, health promoters. • Messages should emphasize a sense of personal responsibility for vaccination and promote social pressure.

Pero el estudio, comisionado por el Colectivo COVID, Langer Research, UNIDOSUS y la NAACP, ofrece una hoja de ruta para lograr elevar los niveles de aceptación de la vacuna entre ambas comunidades. Entre sus recomendaciones:

The study shows that resistance to vaccination is markedly lower in Hispanic communities than in black ones, and levels of trust in institutions and institutional messengers are markedly higher. Therefore, differentiated strategies are required as soon as possible to raise the level of acceptance of a vaccine that could be vital for both communities.

• Desmitificar el proceso del desarrollo de la vacuna, asegurando que las comunidades tengan acceso a información de calidad que ayude a desarrollar su comprensión de la ciencia. • Apoyarse para ellos en personas o instituciones en las cuales confían las comunidades. La lista la encabezan el Dr. Anthony Fauci, la FDA, las farmacias y las farmacéuticas.

These are alarming numbers when we consider that the Hispanic and African American communities are being disproportionately devastated by the pandemic. Both the contagion, hospitalizations and deaths figures are higher than those of nonHispanic whites, a trend that even worsened for the Latino community.

s members of the family, we love our pets unconditionally. We would do anything to ensure they live long and happy lives with us. That's why as they age it is important to be aware of the different ways to care for our pets to help them remain healthy and energized as they reach senior status.

Purina has answers to these common questions about aging pets to help you be the best pet parent for your furry family member. 1. When are pets considered "senior"? According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, our cats and dogs are generally considered senior when they reach the age of 7 years. However, some pets, like larger dog breeds, are considered seniors when they are 6 years old. No matter what age your pet is, make sure they get regular veterinary checkups and necessary preventive care, like required vaccinations. Your veterinarian may recommend older pets get additional tests to watch for specific health conditions, and more frequent checkups to prevent future problems. Watch for signs of aging that could need attention. You may notice changes in their skin and coat, their appetites may diminish, or their activity level may slow down. "Changes in appetite and behavior may indicate underlying health concerns, so it's worth sharing your observations with your vet," said Dr. Kurt Venator, DVM, Ph.D. and chief veterinary officer at Purina. "Dogs may also experience hearing, vision or cognitive changes as they age that are hard to detect, so pay attention if your dog responds less promptly to voice commands, bumps into things as they walk or seems to have trouble doing activities he once enjoyed." Reduced mobility, limping or having trouble managing steps can also indicate issues like osteoarthritis. 2. Do pets need special nutrition as they get older? A 2020 Purina Pet Ownership Survey found that 93% of pet owners feel it is important to choose food specific to a pet's life stage. And while most people know puppies and kittens have different nutritional needs than adult dogs and cats, few owners realize that senior animals also need food tailored to them.

An effective senior pet food formula can help control chronic health conditions, manage a pet's weight and improve their mental focus. For example, Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind Adult 7+ is formulated specifically for senior dogs. It includes ingredients like enhanced botanical oils that are Medium-Chain Triglycerides, which can help improve brain function in older dogs. Purina scientists have spent years developing formulas that help boost energy levels and manage caloric intake for your senior dog, while ensuring that he or she receives the right balance of food and nutrients. 3. How can you keep an older pet active and alert? Dr. Ragen McGowan, Ph.D., a Purina pet behavior scientist, notes that "just like people, older pets can become set in their ways and naturally slow down as they age. Keeping your senior pet active is a simple, fun and effective way to help them stay healthy and nimble. Remember, that it is just as important to keep your pet's mind active as it is to keep their body active." Try out a couple of these activities with your pet: * Play with new toys and games - When was the last time you got your pet a new toy, or played a game of fetch or catch the mouse? Research your pet's breed (or breeds) to find out what kinds of activities they may like best at all stages of their life. Puzzle feeders and games can go a long way to keeping your pet mentally active. * Introduce variety to your pet's life - Vary your walking route by visiting an unfamiliar park or drive to a walking trail to give your dog a new place to discover. Introduce your cat to the outdoors by taking her on a walk or letting her explore the backyard on a harness and leash. * Train your pet - Yes, even older pets can learn new tricks. Consider a training class or watch videos from trainers to learn how to teach your pet a new command. * Spend time with your pet - Petting, talking to and playing with your pets can help keep them happy and alert. Grooming them regularly will also give you a chance to bond as well as look for changes in their skin, toenails, ears and coat that your vet may need to know about. With regular care, proper nutrition and loving attention, aging pets can live a long, enriching life and enjoy every moment they have with you.

omo miembros de la familia, amamos a nuestras mascotas incondicionalmente. Haríamos cualquier cosa para asegurarnos de que vivan una vida larga y feliz con nosotros. Por eso, a medida que envejecen, es importante conocer las diferentes formas de cuidar a nuestras mascotas para ayudarlas a mantenerse saludables y con energía a medida que alcanzan la edad avanzada. Purina tiene respuestas a estas preguntas comunes sobre las mascotas que envejecen para ayudarlo a ser el mejor padre de mascotas para su miembro peludo de la familia. 1. ¿Cuándo se consideran las mascotas "mayores"? Según la Asociación Americana de Medicina Veterinaria, nuestros gatos y perros generalmente se consideran mayores cuando alcanzan la edad de 7 años. Sin embargo, algunas mascotas, como las razas de perros más grandes, se consideran personas mayores cuando tienen 6 años. No importa la edad que tenga su mascota, asegúrese de que se someta a controles veterinarios regulares y a la atención preventiva necesaria, como las vacunas necesarias. Su veterinario puede recomendar que las mascotas mayores se realicen pruebas adicionales para detectar afecciones de salud específicas y controles más frecuentes para prevenir problemas futuros. Esté atento a los signos del envejecimiento que podrían necesitar atención. Puede notar cambios en su piel y pelaje, su apetito puede disminuir o su nivel de actividad puede disminuir. "Los cambios en el apetito y el comportamiento pueden indicar problemas de salud subyacentes, por lo que vale la pena compartir sus observaciones con su veterinario", dijo el Dr. Kurt Venator, DVM, Ph.D. y director veterinario de Purina. "Los perros también pueden experimentar cambios auditivos, visuales o cognitivos a medida que envejecen que son difíciles de detectar, así que preste atención si su perro responde con menos rapidez a los comandos de voz, se topa con cosas mientras camina o parece tener problemas para realizar actividades que alguna vez disfrutó. " La movilidad reducida, cojear o tener problemas para manejar los pasos también pueden indicar problemas como la osteoartritis. 2. ¿Necesitan las mascotas una nutrición especial a medida que envejecen? Una encuesta de propiedad de mascotas de Purina de 2020 encontró que el 93% de los dueños de mascotas sienten que es importante elegir alimentos específicos para la etapa de la vida de una mascota. Y aunque la mayoría de la gente sabe que los cachorros y los gatitos tienen necesidades nutricionales diferentes a las de los perros y gatos adultos, pocos propietarios se dan cuenta de que los animales mayores también necesitan alimentos adaptados a ellos.

Una fórmula de alimento para mascotas de edad avanzada eficaz puede ayudar a controlar las condiciones de salud crónicas, controlar el peso de una mascota y mejorar su concentración mental. Por ejemplo, Purina Pro Plan Bright Mind Adult 7+ está formulado específicamente para perros mayores. Incluye ingredientes como aceites botánicos mejorados que son triglicéridos de cadena media, que pueden ayudar a mejorar la función cerebral en perros mayores. Los científicos de Purina han pasado años desarrollando fórmulas que ayudan a aumentar los niveles de energía y controlar la ingesta calórica de su perro mayor, al tiempo que se aseguran de que reciba el equilibrio adecuado de alimentos y nutrientes. 3. ¿Cómo se puede mantener activa y alerta a una mascota mayor? El Dr. Ragen McGowan, Ph.D., un científico del comportamiento de las mascotas de Purina, señala que "al igual que las personas, las mascotas mayores pueden establecerse en sus caminos y, naturalmente, desacelerar a medida que envejecen. Mantener a su mascota mayor activa es una tarea simple, divertida y una manera eficaz de ayudarlos a mantenerse saludables y ágiles. Recuerde que es tan importante mantener activa la mente de su mascota como mantener su cuerpo activo ". Pruebe un par de estas actividades con su mascota: * Juega con juguetes y juegos nuevos: ¿Cuándo fue la última vez que le compraste un juguete nuevo a tu mascota, o jugaste a buscar o atrapar el ratón? Investigue la raza (o razas) de su mascota para averiguar qué tipo de actividades le pueden gustar más en todas las etapas de su vida. Los alimentadores de rompecabezas y los juegos pueden ser de gran ayuda para mantener a su mascota mentalmente activa. * Introduzca variedad en la vida de su mascota: varíe su ruta para caminar visitando un parque desconocido o conduzca hasta un sendero para caminar para darle a su perro un nuevo lugar para descubrir. Presente a su gato al aire libre llevándolo a caminar o dejándolo explorar el patio trasero con un arnés y una correa. * Entrene a su mascota: sí, incluso las mascotas mayores pueden aprender nuevos trucos. Considere una clase de entrenamiento o vea videos de entrenadores para aprender cómo enseñarle a su mascota un nuevo comando. * Pase tiempo con su mascota: acariciar, hablar y jugar con sus mascotas puede ayudar a mantenerlas felices y alertas. Asearlos con regularidad también le dará la oportunidad de vincularse y de buscar cambios en la piel, las uñas de los pies, las orejas y el pelaje que su veterinario deba conocer. Con un cuidado regular, una nutrición adecuada y una atención amorosa, las mascotas que envejecen pueden vivir una vida larga y enriquecedora y disfrutar cada momento que tienen contigo.

It was like a small family in those small shuttle buses. We’d listen to music from their era, we’d tell one another jokes, and over time they would share their anecdotes with me. It was

so beautiful, that’s for sure; I miss them and they miss me, too!” “Ever since I began my job here at On Lok, I immediately came in to contact with the elders whom I admire very much because they have experience, things they’ve endured and lived…it was huge for me because reminiscing is living. I appreciate my friends very much. I know that they consider me a friend, a son or even a grandson.

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Budget experts predict California will face multi-billion-dollar deficits in 2022 and beyond as a result of the pandemic, and groups are calling on policymakers to protect higher education.

The report also suggested that colleges and universities dedicate staffers to helping students finish their degrees, and promote short-term credentials in job fields that are currently in demand.

Places such as community colleges will be key to getting people trained and back to work -- but only if they can stay in business. A new report from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Lumina Foundation cautions against indiscriminate funding cuts. Gabriella Gomez, deputy director of U.S. policy, advocacy and communications for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, said a budget should not be a blunt instrument. "These cuts, where you 'slash and burn' across the board, just don't work," she said, "and actually what ends up happening is, there's tremendous rollback." The report calls for a "students-first" approach and functions as a guide for policymakers to support lower-income students of color and adult learners who are retraining after losing their jobs. That means protecting financial aid and prioritizing the community college systems that serve vulnerable populations. During the Great Recession, California cut $1.5 billion from higher education. Schools had to reduce classes and raise tuition -- and, as a result, enrollment still is down more than a decade later. This time, Gomez said, states can do better. "Let's not repeat the mistakes of the past," she said. "Let's actually take what

Un reporte reciente de la Fundación "Bill and Melinda Gates" y la Fundación Lumina advierten contra recortes indiscriminados de fondos. Gabriela Gómez, de la Fundación Gates, dice que un presupuesto no debería ser el instrumento contundente. "Estos recortes, en los que se "corta y quema" parejo, simplemente no funcionan.

Eso significa proteger la ayuda financiera y priorizar los sistemas de educación superior que sirven a poblaciones vulnerables. Durante la Gran Recesión, California recorto 1.5 billones de dólares a la educación superior. Las escuelas tuvieron que reducir las clases y subir las cuotas -y como resultado, más de una década después la inscripción sigue baja. Gómez dice que esta vez les ira mejor a los estados. "No repitamos los errores del pasado. Tomemos lo que aprendimos del pasado y apliquémoslo en este contexto de inmediato."

n the 2019-2020 flu season, influenza caused up to 22,000 deaths in the U.S. This year, with so many medical resources being used to care for COVID-19 patients, it’s especially important to protect yourself from the flu. The annual flu vaccine can help protect you from the flu and lessen severe flu symptoms. It’s not too late to get a flu shot, and there are a number of reasons you should get yours now, if you haven’t already. 1. You’ll save life-saving resources for COVID-19 patients. Last flu season, influenza sent more than 400,000 people to the hospital with flu complications. By protecting yourself from the flu, you can help save those life-saving hospital beds and ventilators for individuals who may contract COVID-19. While we anxiously await the arrival of a COVID-19 vaccine, there is one vaccine already available that will protect your lung health this winter: the flu shot. 2. Chronic health conditions make flu symptoms

worse – and deadly. The flu can worsen symptoms of chronic health conditions, such as lung or heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Multiple studies have shown an increased risk of heart attack and stroke in the first few days following the flu, and it can lead to complications among people with diabetes. The flu can also exacerbate symptoms of respiratory disorders, such as asthma and COPD and can lead to pneumonia. Personal stories about individuals who were impacted by the flu can be found by visiting the American Lung Association’s GetMyShot. org. 3. Adults over 50 are at higher risk. As we age, our immune systems decline and weaken, placing older adults at greater risk for catching the flu and having severe complications. Over 65% of those hospitalized last flu season were adults over 50. Vaccinating against influenza helps reduce the risk of hospitalizations and dying from the flu for older adults. Yet, despite these benefits, in 2019-2020 only 50% of adults ages 50-64 got their flu shot. 4. Flu shots protect those around you. Similar to COVID-19, the flu is spread from person to person. By getting a flu shot, you are helping reduce the spread of the flu and protecting your family and friends! For additional information about the flu, visit www. lung.org/flu. For flu shot resources, including finding a location near you to get a flu shot, visit www. getmyshot.org.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends getting a flu shot every year. Annual vaccination is important as the body’s immune response from vaccination declines over time. Now more than ever, the flu shot is critical and necessary to help protect ourselves, those we love and our communities at large, especially people at highest risk of flu complications.

Múltiples estudios han demostrado un mayor riesgo de ataque cardíaco y accidente cerebrovascular en los primeros días después de la gripe, y puede provocar complicaciones entre las personas con diabetes. La gripe también puede exacerbar los síntomas de trastornos respiratorios, como el asma y la EPOC, y puede provocar neumonía. Se pueden encontrar historias personales sobre personas que fueron afectadas por la gripe visitando GetMyShot.org de la American Lung Association.

n la temporada de influenza 2019-2020, la influenza causó hasta 22,000 muertes en los EE. UU. Este año, con tantos recursos médicos que se utilizan para cuidar a los pacientes con COVID-19, es especialmente importante protegerse de la influenza. La vacuna anual contra la influenza puede protegerlo de la influenza y disminuir los síntomas graves de la influenza. No es demasiado tarde para vacunarse contra la gripe, y existen varias razones por las que debería recibir la suya ahora, si aún no lo ha hecho. 1. Ahorrará recursos que salvan vidas para los pacientes con COVID-19. La temporada pasada de influenza, la influenza envió a más de 400,000 personas al hospital con complicaciones de la influenza. Al protegerse de la gripe, puede ayudar a salvar esas camas de hospital y ventiladores que salvan vidas para las personas que pueden contraer COVID-19. Mientras esperamos ansiosos la llegada de una vacuna COVID-19, ya hay una vacuna disponible que protegerá su salud pulmonar este invierno: la vacuna contra la gripe. 2. Las condiciones de salud crónicas empeoran los síntomas de la gripe y hacen que sean mortales. La gripe puede empeorar los síntomas de enferme-

3. Los adultos mayores de 50 años tienen mayor riesgo. A medida que envejecemos, nuestro sistema inmunológico se deteriora y debilita, lo que coloca a los adultos mayores en mayor riesgo de contraer la gripe y tener complicaciones graves. Más del 65% de los hospitalizados en la última temporada de influenza eran adultos mayores de 50 años. La vacunación contra la influenza ayuda a reducir el riesgo de hospitalizaciones y muerte por influenza para los adultos mayores. Sin embargo, a pesar de estos beneficios, en 2019-2020 solo el 50% de los adultos de 50 a 64 años se vacunaron contra la gripe. 4. Las vacunas contra la gripe protegen a quienes le rodean. Al igual que el COVID-19, la gripe se transmite de persona a persona. ¡Al vacunarse contra la gripe, está ayudando a reducir la propagación de la gripe y protegiendo a su familia y amigos! Para obtener información adicional sobre la gripe, visite www.lung.org/flu. Para obtener recursos sobre la vacuna contra la gripe, incluido encontrar un lugar cerca de usted para vacunarse contra la gripe, visite www.getmyshot.org. Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades recomiendan vacunarse contra la gripe todos los años. La vacunación anual es importante ya que la respuesta inmunitaria del cuerpo a la vacunación disminuye con el tiempo. Ahora más que nunca, la vacuna contra la gripe es fundamental y necesaria para ayudar a protegernos a nosotros mismos, a quienes amamos y a nuestras comunidades en general, especialmente a las personas con mayor riesgo de complicaciones por la gripe.

SOUL: PIXAR’S JOURNEY ANIMATING JAZZ AND THE HEREAFTER Pixar’s Latest Film Journeys Into Music, Human Spirituality and What Makes Someone Unique

Arturo Hilario El Observador

“I wanted to find some jazz music that had an ethereal and very universal [and] accessible form with melodies and harmonies that had that same spirit. So, if you listen to, [certain] chords, there's an optimism in them and it's also a bit melancholy at the same time. And there's ways that you can modulate and change the key and it just hits you right [in your core],” he adds.

ixar’s newest film, “Soul”, takes a look at the place before and after life, and how that world intertwines with our own reality and meaning, all accompanied by the sounds of a jazz score. Pixar has proven they can give heartfelt and entertaining approaches to concepts like life and death, as in with “Coco”, and of the brain and our feelings, like “Inside Out”. With “Soul”, they embark on a brand-new journey into the unknown, while holding onto the aspect of their other films that have become a signature of Pixar, the heartfelt journey. “Soul” takes place in a vibrant New York City and in the place where people are before they’re born and after they die, referred to as The Great Before and The Great Beyond. The Great Before is a place where people learn to be people before their journeys on Earth begin. The story focuses on a human, Joe Gardner, (voiced by Jamie Foxx), who is a middle-school band teacher, and although he means well as an educator his own childhood was filled with the sounds of jazz and a burning passion to become a full-fledged jazz pianist himself. He sees this as his ultimate goal in life. When an opportunity presents itself to Joe, involving playing an actual night of jazz with musicians he admires, he makes a mad dash of elation through the streets of New York City to prepare and tell his family. An accident occurs and those dreams seem just about over. Joe awakes in a strange place, amongst other bulbous looking figures, headings towards a bright light at the end of an escalator of sorts. This is where “Soul” truly begins its journey into the strange world of The Great Beyond. Pixar had a tall task on their hands with “Soul”, which was to create an abstract afterlife world that didn’t have any necessary cultural attachments like “Coco”, but still have some cohesion throughout. On the other hand, the Earth portions of the film needed to have a strong sense of life, culture, and music - after all it is a film about jazz. Jude Brownbill (Animation Supervisor), Bobby Podesta (Animation Supervisor) and MontaQue Ruffin (Animator) are part of the animation team that worked on bringing these two worlds to life and giving it an overall style and character. “When you're animating a film that has a primary focus on playing jazz music, you have to get the notes right,” says Ruffin. On top of this, not only were the team of animators tasked with creating as accurate a depiction of jazz music as they could, they also had to dream up the afterlife from scratch, making sure they had “truthful and specific performances that dive into the heart of the moment and feel relatable and real,” added Brownbill. She states that the starting point was overwhelming, but it all ultimately began with creating the rules of the world. Brownbill said: “So, let's just quickly talk about some of the ‘Soul rules’ we created. [There] are new souls who have not yet lived, the very cute, very appealing, with the simple rounded shapes and no distinguishing features just yet, because they've never lived on Earth. They have no concept of gravity, so they tend to float about or even fly.” “[There] are mentor souls who have lived on Earth. They are an abstraction of how they saw themselves on Earth, each with unique distinguishing features and accessories. Because

Creating the score and involved working a multigenerational coalition of jazz and blues musicians, and Batiste highlights this in how he embedded jazz history and sound into the compositions.

Jon Batiste composed the jazz score for “Soul”, which arrives to Disney+ on December 25, 2020. Photo Credit: Disney / Pixar they have experienced gravity on Earth, they walk as if it exists, even though they don't really need to. Joe’s Soul chose how he sees himself on Earth, what's important to him is his hat, his glasses. And they also help us to pick him out of the crowd, giving a visual connection to this human form,” Brownbill added.

African-American culture and experience. Animator MontaQue Ruffin explained his experience on working on the film:

Creating the movements and looks of these two types of souls involved a lot of technology challenging art, and art challenging technology to figure out ways to make the art possible.

“As you know, Joel Gardner is Pixar's first AfricanAmerican lead, and being a person of color, you can imagine how special it was for me to work on a film like “Soul”. This film means a lot to me because I was able to animate characters who look like me and ultimately celebrate the community that I come from.”

Podesta states, “That's a challenge - to create the Counselor characters who were described as ‘the universe dumbing itself down for humans to be able to comprehend’ and getting their forms mostly right. So, we started with inspiration, drawing from dozens of sources like Swedish sculpture, nature and even light.”

“To share with my colleagues [my experience], what it's like growing up, going to a black barbershop, was remarkable. You know, as animators, we strive to immerse ourselves in the subject that we're animating, constantly searching for the details and specifics that make our characters as authentic as possible.”

The Counselors ended up being quite the challenge to create, even though they were essentially just a line form that needed to resonate as strange, beautiful, and captivating.

He added, “As a team, we needed to be honest with the things that we were not familiar with and be a sponge to those who were so that we may respectfully imbue it in our work.”

“So, with the design figured out, you might think, ‘Hey, that's a line, that looks like the easiest thing in the world to animate.’ Actually, the technology behind creating the Counselors is mind-boggling. But that's the thing about Pixar. We have some of the most talented and, quite frankly, smartest people I've ever met in this industry,” said Podesta.

Working on the original music was also a big part of bringing the soul to “Soul”. Jon Batiste is a singer, composer, songwriter and band leader who was a direct resource and cultural consultant, and according to the crew at Pixar, having him on the creation of the film cemented the core of the film with the stylings and language of jazz, which had a profound effect on the story and overall vibe.

“With the Counselors, we're able to animate characters unlike anything we've seen before in film. I mean, this is really new stuff. But as challenging as it was to create something previously unknown, it was equally as challenging to craft performance. It would resonate as familiar, authentic, and more than a little musically specific,” he added. The Culture & Sound of Jazz The Black improvisational music of jazz is a main feature of “Soul”, defining Joe Gardner’s life, aspirations, and turmoil. It’s weaved in throughout the film, and between the jazz is Trent Razor’s industrial score which accents the scenes in the afterlife. Getting the look and sound of jazz accurately involved extensive research, from going to places like National Museum of African-American History and Culture, to neighborhood barber shops and talking to and absorbing the stories of the African-American community. Just as much as Pixar had a challenge with creating a new world in the great beyond, the team of “Soul” also had the challenge of recreating as accurately as possible the world of jazz and the

“Not only did [Jon Batiste] share with us his [thoughts] on jazz, but he also played live performances and walked us through his thought process while doing so. We also recorded videoreference of Jon's hands as he played the piano. By having this information, not only did it allow us to inspect hand movement and finger articulation, but also serve as a visual roadmap. And by having these resources available to us, it was up to us to animate that performance through Joe Gardner, frame by frame,” said Ruffin. Batiste also arranged and wrote all the jazz music in “Soul”, and his fingerprints can be traced throughout the film. He said about his creation process, “This film has a lot of light in it, it's a lot of light and lifeforce energy, I like to call it. And that was really the beginning of me figuring out my way into the music, the jazz music in the film, finding the tone, the spiritual tone. The film has this ethereal air because it's going between the real world in New York City and the great beyond, which is where souls are born and where they figure out their purpose and where souls go once a person's soul leaves their body in their death.”

“We channeled all of the greats that I had the pleasure of playing in jazz clubs with around the world, as well as the ones who I've listened to for years since I was a little boy like Joe when he walked in the club. And I wanted to channel their spirit through the types of compositions, you know, kind of like the first thing that Joe hears when he walks into the club, [it's] kind of a swing feel with some of the different harmonic textures that you hear maybe in like a Kenny Kirkland record or a Branford Marsalis record from the 80s.” “So, I imagine he was walking in the club is probably around that time, you know, the 70s and 80s and cats were playing in that way. It was the neo traditionalist movement during that time. So very specific insider references for folks who out there can hear, they'll be like, ‘oh, I see what's happening’." Industrial Afterlife Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross from Nine Inch Nails took charge of the other half of the film’s music, highlighting the world of the afterlife with their trademark industrial sound and merging it into a Pixar film about jazz. Producer Dana Murray said, “It’s so ethereal. The contrast they bring is really exciting. It’s an unexpected choice for Pixar—this is like nothing we’ve ever done before. I love the combination we have.” While John Batiste was bringing warmth and spirituality into the jazz side of the compositions, Reznor and Ross were brining an ethereal and abstract sound to the world of The Great Before and The Great Beyond. “I really am thankful that we had the chance to do that, because at first we didn't even hear each other's music. And then as the process started to go along, I got a chance to hear some of the music they were making. There's some music that I was making and we came together in this one moment and it really changed the rest of the music that I was composing for the film because I got a chance to see into their process and that also leaked into the kind of spiritual tone that I'm talking about, this ethos that we created,” said Batiste. On a final note, it’s incredible that a studio film in the year of 2020 can be both so abstract and so full of soul, and have a creative input from so many different artists and music stylings to create this very music-centric story about people simply trying to find their way, whether it be through the frantic streets of rush hour New York City to the modern art world of The Great Before. Batiste adds, “People need light in this time. And I'm all about bringing the light in. That's one of the great pleasures of working with Pixar. They've created these films that delve into all of the cultures of the world and create it in a way where it's accessible to all people. It doesn't matter where you're from, what you experience - the stories, they transcend all of that.” “Soul” is available on Disney+ streaming on December 25, 2020.

SOUL: EL VIAJE DE PIXAR ANIMANDO EL JAZZ Y EL MÁS ALLÁ El nuevo proyecto cinematográfico de Pixar toca la música, la espiritualidad humana y lo que hace que alguien sea único

Arturo Hilario El Observador

deja su cuerpo en su muerte. " “Quería encontrar algo de música jazz que tuviera una forma etérea y muy universal [y] accesible con melodías y armonías que tuvieran ese mismo espíritu. Entonces, si escuchas, [ciertos] acordes, hay optimismo en ellos y también es un poco melancólico al mismo tiempo. Y hay formas en las que puedes modular y cambiar la clave y te golpea justo [en tu núcleo]”, agrega.

a película más reciente de Pixar, "Soul", toma lugar antes y después de la vida, y cómo ese mundo se entrelaza con nuestra propia realidad y significado, todo ello acompañado por los sonidos de una banda sonora de jazz. Pixar ha demostrado que pueden dar enfoques sinceros y entretenidos a conceptos como la vida y la muerte, como en “Coco”, y del cerebro y nuestros sentimientos, como “Inside Out”. Con "Soul", se embarcan en un viaje completamente nuevo hacia lo desconocido, mientras mantienen el aspecto de sus otras películas que se han convertido en una firma de Pixar, el viaje sincero. "Soul" tiene lugar en una vibrante ciudad de Nueva York y en el lugar donde se encuentran las personas antes de nacer y después de morir, conocido como El Gran Antes y El Gran Más Allá. El Gran Antes es un lugar donde las almas aprenden a ser personas antes de que comiencen sus viajes por la Tierra. La historia se centra en un humano, Joe Gardner, (la voz de Jamie Foxx), quien es un maestro de banda en la escuela secundaria, y aunque tiene buenas intenciones como educador, por su influencia de los sonidos del jazz durante su propia infancia, tiene una pasión ardiente por convertirse en un pianista de jazz de pleno derecho. Él ve esto como su objetivo mayor en la vida. Cuando se le presenta una oportunidad a Joe, que implica tocar una noche de jazz con músicos profesionales que admira, hace una loca pizca de júbilo por las calles de la ciudad de Nueva York para prepararse y contárselo a su familia. Ocurre un accidente y esos sueños parecen estar a punto de terminar. Joe se despierta en un lugar extraño, entre otras figuras de aspecto bulboso, dirigiéndose hacia una luz brillante al final de una especie de escalera mecánica. Pero Joe no ha acabado su vida y quiere regresar a tocar su concierto. Aquí es donde la película “Soul” realmente comienza su viaje hacia el extraño mundo de El Gran Más Allá. Pixar tenía una gran tarea en sus manos con "Soul", que consistía en crear un mundo más allá de la vida abstracto que no tenía ningún vínculo cultural necesario como "Coco", pero que aún tenía algo de cohesión en todo momento. Por otro lado, las partes terrestres de la película debían tener un fuerte sentido de la vida, la cultura afroamericana, y la música; después de todo, es una película sobre jazz. Jude Brownbill (Supervisor de animación), Bobby Podesta (Supervisor de animación) y MontaQue Ruffin (Animador) son parte del equipo de animación que trabajó para dar vida a estos dos mundos y darle un estilo y carácter general. “Cuando estás animando una película que tiene un enfoque principal en tocar música de jazz, tienes que acertar con las notas”, dice Ruffin. Además de esto, el equipo de animadores no solo tenía la tarea de crear una representación lo más precisa posible de la música de jazz, sino que también tenían que soñar el más allá desde cero, asegurándose de tener "actuaciones veraces y específicas que se sumergen en el corazón del momento y sentirse identificable y real”, agregó Brownbill. Afirma que el punto de partida fue abrumador, pero finalmente todo comenzó con la creación de las reglas del mundo. Brownbill dijo: “Entonces, hablemos rápidamente sobre algunas de las 'reglas del alma' que creamos. [Hay] nuevas almas que aún no han vivido, las muy lindas, muy atractivas, con formas redondeadas simples y sin rasgos distintivos todavía, porque nunca han vivido en la Tierra. No tienen concepto de gravedad, por lo que tienden a flotar o incluso a volar”. “[Hay] almas mentoras que han vivido en la Tierra.

La creación de la partitura y el trabajo involucrado en una coalición multigeneracional de músicos de jazz y blues, y Batiste destaca esto en la forma en que incorporó la historia y el sonido del jazz en las composiciones.

En el mundo del antes y después de la vida, Número 22 (la voz de Tina Fey - izquierda) y Joe Gardner (la voz de Jaime Foxx - derecha, con lentes y sombrero) unen fuerzas para intentar a regresar a Joe a la tierra en “Soul”, de Disney / Pixar. Photo Credit: Disney / Pixar Son una abstracción de cómo se veían a sí mismos en la Tierra, cada uno con características y accesorios distintivos únicos. Debido a que han experimentado la gravedad en la Tierra, caminan como si existiera, aunque en realidad no la necesitan. El espíritu de Joe eligió cómo se ve a sí mismo en la Tierra, lo que es importante para él es su sombrero, sus lentes. Y también nos ayudan a distinguirlo entre la multitud, dando una conexión visual a esta forma humana”, agregó Brownbill. Crear los movimientos y la apariencia de estos dos tipos de almas involucró mucha tecnología desafiando el arte y el arte desafiando la tecnología para encontrar formas de hacer posible el arte. Podesta afirma: "Eso es un desafío: crear los personajes de Consejeros que fueron descritos como" el universo se embrutece para que los humanos puedan comprenderlo "y que sus formas sean correctas. Entonces, comenzamos con la inspiración, extrayendo de docenas de fuentes como la escultura sueca, la naturaleza e incluso la luz”. Los Consejeros terminaron siendo todo un desafío para crear, a pesar de que eran esencialmente solo una forma de línea que necesitaba resonar como extraña, hermosa y cautivadora. “Entonces, con el diseño resuelto, podrías pensar: 'Oye, esa es una línea, parece la cosa más fácil del mundo para animar'. En realidad, la tecnología detrás de la creación de los Consejeros es alucinante. Pero eso es lo que pasa con Pixar. Tenemos algunas de las personas más talentosas y, francamente, más inteligentes que he conocido en esta industria”, dijo Podesta. “Con los Consejeros, podemos animar personajes como nunca antes habíamos visto en películas. Quiero decir, esto es algo realmente nuevo. Por más desafiante que fue crear algo previamente desconocido, fue igualmente desafiante crear un rendimiento. Resuena como familiar, auténtico y más que un poco musicalmente específico”, agregó. La cultura y el sonido del jazz La música de improvisación afroamericana del jazz es una característica principal de "Soul", que define la vida, las aspiraciones y la confusión de Joe Gardner. Está entretejido a lo largo de la película, y entre el jazz está la banda sonora industrial de Trent Razor que acentúa las escenas del más allá. Obtener la apariencia y el sonido del jazz requirió una investigación exhaustiva, desde ir a lugares como el Museo Nacional de Historia y Cultura Afroamericana, hasta peluquerías de vecindario y hablar y asimilar las historias de la comunidad afroamericana. Así como Pixar tuvo el desafío de crear un mundo nuevo en el más allá, el equipo de “Soul” también

tuvo el desafío de recrear con la mayor precisión posible el mundo del jazz y la cultura y experiencia afroamericana. El animador MontaQue Ruffin explicó su experiencia trabajando en la película: “Como saben, Joel Gardner es el primer protagonista afroamericano de Pixar y, siendo una persona de color, pueden imaginar lo especial que fue para mí trabajar en una película como “Soul”. Esta película significa mucho para mí porque pude animar personajes que se parecen a mí y, en última instancia, celebrar la comunidad de la que vengo”. “Compartir con mis colegas [mi experiencia], lo que es crecer, ir a una peluquería negra, fue extraordinario. Ya sabes, como animadores, nos esforzamos por sumergirnos en el tema que estamos animando, buscando constantemente los detalles y detalles que hacen que nuestros personajes sean lo más auténticos posible”. Añadió: "Como equipo, teníamos que ser honestos con las cosas con las que no estábamos familiarizados y ser una esponja para los que sí lo estaban para que podamos imbuirlo respetuosamente en nuestro trabajo". Trabajar en la música original también fue una gran parte para llenar de alma a “Soul”. Jon Batiste es un cantante, compositor, y líder de la banda que fue un consultor cultural y de recursos directos. Según el equipo de Pixar, tenerlo en la creación de la película cimentó el núcleo de la película con los estilos y el lenguaje del jazz, que tuvo un profundo efecto en la historia y en el ambiente general. “No solo [Jon Batiste] compartió con nosotros sus [pensamientos] sobre el jazz, sino que también realizó presentaciones en vivo y nos guio a través de su proceso de pensamiento mientras lo hacía. También grabamos una referencia de video de las manos de Jon mientras tocaba el piano. Al tener esta información, no solo nos permitió inspeccionar el movimiento de la mano y la articulación de los dedos, sino que también nos sirvió como una hoja de ruta visual. Y al tener estos recursos a nuestra disposición, dependía de nosotros animar esa actuación a través de Joe Gardner, cuadro por cuadro”, dijo Ruffin. Batiste también arregló y escribió toda la música jazz en “Soul”, y sus huellas digitales se pueden rastrear a lo largo de la película. Dijo sobre su proceso de creación: “Esta película tiene mucha luz, es mucha luz y energía vital, me gusta llamarla. Y ese fue realmente el comienzo en que descubrí mi camino hacia la música, la música de jazz en la película, encontrando el tono, el tono espiritual. La película tiene este aire etéreo porque va entre el mundo real en la ciudad de Nueva York y el más allá, que es donde nacen las almas y donde descubren su propósito y donde van las almas una vez que el alma de una persona

“Canalizamos a todos los grandes con los que tuve el placer de tocar en clubes de jazz de todo el mundo, así como a los que he escuchado durante años desde que era un niño como Joe cuando entraba al club. Y quería canalizar su espíritu a través de los tipos de composiciones, ya sabes, algo así como lo primero que escucha Joe cuando entra al club, [es] una especie de sensación de swing con algunas de las diferentes texturas armónicas que escuchas tal vez como un disco de Kenny Kirkland o un disco de Branford Marsalis de los 80 ". “Entonces, imagino que estaba caminando en el club probablemente alrededor de esa época, ya sabes, los años 70 y 80 y los cuates jugaban de esa manera. Fue el movimiento neo tradicionalista durante ese tiempo. Así que las referencias internas muy específicas para las personas que pueden escuchar, dirán, 'oh, ya veo lo que está pasando' ". Sonido Industrial del Más Allá Trent Reznor y Atticus Ross de Nine Inch Nails se hicieron cargo de la otra mitad de la música de la película, destacando el mundo del más allá con su sonido característico industrial y al mismo tiempo fusionarlo en una película de Pixar sobre jazz. La productora Dana Murray dijo: "Es tan etéreo. El contraste que aportan es realmente emocionante. Es una elección inesperada para Pixar, no se parece a nada que hayamos hecho antes. Me encanta la combinación que tenemos”. Mientras John Batiste aportaba calidez y espiritualidad al lado del jazz de las composiciones, Reznor y Ross aportaban un sonido etéreo y abstracto al mundo de El Gran Antes y El Gran Más Allá. “Estoy realmente agradecido de haber tenido la oportunidad de hacer eso, porque al principio ni siquiera escuchábamos la música del otro. Y luego, cuando el proceso comenzó a avanzar, tuve la oportunidad de escuchar algo de la música que estaban haciendo. Había algo de música que estaba haciendo y nos unimos en este momento y realmente cambió el resto de la música que estaba componiendo para la película porque tuve la oportunidad de ver su proceso y eso también se filtró en el tipo de tono espiritual del que hablo, ese carácter distintivo que creamos”, dijo Batiste. En una nota final, es increíble que una película de estudio grande en el año 2020 pueda ser tan abstracta y tan llena de alma, y tener una aportación creativa de tantos artistas y estilos musicales diferentes para crear esta historia muy centrada en la música; sobre personas simplemente intentando de encontrar su camino, ya sea a través de las frenéticas calles de la ciudad de Nueva York, hasta el metafísico paisaje de El Gran Antes. Batiste añade: “La gente necesita luz en esta época. Y me encanta traer la luz. Ese es uno de los grandes placeres de trabajar con Pixar. Han creado estas películas que profundizan en todas las culturas del mundo y las crean de una manera que es accesible para todas las personas. No importa de dónde seas, lo que experiencias - las historias trascienden todo eso ". "Soul" está disponible en Disney + el 25 de diciembre de 2020.

ILVERDALE, Wash. -- Health officials recommend people celebrate Thanksgiving virtually this year rather than traveling.

COVID-19 cases have surged in recent weeks, prompting Gov. Jay Inslee to issue statewide restrictions until mid-December. Peter Barkett, a doctor of internal medicine in Silverdale for Kaiser Permanente, said people should stay home, noting if they wouldn't feel comfortable getting together on any other day, they shouldn't get together because it's a holiday.

"A typical Thanksgiving gathering where people are around the table eating, they're spending more time together," Barkett observed. "These are all things that increase the rate of transmission and that's why I think it's especially high-risk."

Barkett knows it's going to be hard not seeing family during the holiday, but he urged people should still stay in touch with family members. One of his favorite parts of Thanksgiving is trading dishes, so Barkett is swapping recipes with family members in other parts of the country. "I'm going to try actually cooking some of those recipes," Barkett explained. "And for family members who are in town, we're actually going to be doing some dish swaps. So kind of leaving things at the front door for each other." Barkett recognizes people are feeling COVID-19 fatigue, but added news of effective vaccines means the end of the pandemic could be just over the horizon. "Now is the time to really redouble our efforts at preventing the spread of COVID and finish strong so that when the vaccine is available, we're in a good place to finally get this virus and pandemic behind us," Barkett concluded.

and zero-waste. One recent post defined the term “conscious consumerism” while another addressed why climate activists tend to burn out so young.

t’s amazing how dominant Instagram has become in the world of social media. Eco-advocates would be remiss to not make use of it to raise awareness and spur action on behalf of the planet.

Finally, @climemechange uses humor to lighten the mood within the climate movement. After all, laughter has been proven to boost antibody-producing cells, reduce stress and increase blood flow, all important to make sure we keep ourselves healthy while fighting the good fight. Following this account is a good way to fight the eco-depression and climate anxiety we all suffer from, even if just a little.

PREPÁRESE PARA UNA INTERRUPCIÓN DEL SUMINISTRO ELÉCTRICO POR MOTIVOS DE SEGURIDAD PÚBLICA Una Interrupción del Suministro Eléctrico por Motivos de Seguridad Pública (PSPS por sus siglas en inglés) es un esfuerzo a nivel estatal para prevenir incendios forestales desconectando proactivamente la energía en las comunidades cuando se pronostican vientos fuertes y condiciones climáticas secas. Aunque desconectar la energía ayuda a prevenir incendios forestales, también sabemos que afectará vidas y provocará dificultades para nuestros clientes. Es por esto que PG&E no se toma esta decisión a la ligera y sólo pedirá la interrupción para mantener seguros a nuestros clientes y a nuestras comunidades.

AQUÍ HAY 5 FORMAS DE PREPARARSE PARA UNA INTERRUPCIÓN: PSPS Updates

Asegúrese de que PG&E pueda comunicarse con usted antes de un PSPS actualizando su información de contacto pge.com/ mywildfirealerts.

Empaque o reponga el botiquín de emergencia de su familia e incluya alimentos, agua, baterías, máscaras, radio y un botiquín de primeros auxilios.

Haga preparativos para las personas de su familia que dependan de la electricidad por necesidades médicas.

Practique abrir la puerta de su garaje manualmente (si tiene un garaje).

Asegúrese de que las fuentes de energía de reserva estén listas y sean seguras de operar.

Para obtener asistencia traducida en más de 200 idiomas, comuníquese con PG&E al 866-743-6589. Para saber más maneras de prepararse para una interrupción y para cualquier emergencia, visite safetyactioncenter.pge.com
