Tenoch Huerta, Namorin‘BlackPanther:

explains whythe movie got it right

BY ARTURO CONDE AND CANDICE WILLIAMS NBC Latino

Black Panther fans nationwidewill head to movie theaters this weekend for the much-awaited sequel and tribute to the iconic African superhero thathad been em bodied by the late ChadwickBoseman.

But for manyLatinos who want to see their own superhero epics on the silver screen, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is amilestone thatfeatures Mexican actor Tenoch Huerta, who is now poisedtobreak intomainstream pop culture.

Huerta, who is of Indigenous heritage, plays the mutant leader of akingdom based on Mayan and Aztec influences, which has thrived beneath the ocean for centuries.

Huerta, whom audiences mayknow from his rolesinthe Netflix series “Narcos: Mexi co” and the movie “The Forever Purge,”told NBC News thatthe newfilm is abig step for diversity in Latinoculture.

“InLatin America,especiallyMexico, we have alack of representation,”hesaid. TV in Mexico looks “likeaScandinaviancountry,” he said, adding that“all the people” are white

on TV or in the ads one sees on the street.

When acompanylikeMarvel Studios —and its parent companyDisney—tell a diverse superhero storythatfocuses pri marily on Black and Indigenous characters from EastAfrica and Mesoamerica —which stretchesfrom modern-daysouth-central Mexico to Costa Rica —itshows “the rest of the world thatrepresentation matters,” Huerta said.

On screen, Huerta plays Namor,one of Marvel’s oldestcharacters,amutantwith pointed ears, wingedankles and superhu man strengththatcan rival the might of other larger-than-life Marvel characterslike Thor.

“When theydecide to give this background to Namor,you know,this newback ground —Mesoamerican culture, especial ly Mayan culture —Ithink theynailed it,” Huerta said. “Because it’s the right moment to do it in away,onone hand, and on the other hand, it’s important for manypeople, especially kids.It’saway to say, ‘Eh, there’s nothing wrong on you. Youshould be proud of who you are. And the melanin in your skin

... it’s OK and it’s beautiful.’”

Some fans mayconnectwith Namor’s vulnerabilities as an outsider caught be tween twoworlds —the surface one that belongstohumans and Talokan, the underwater kingdom created by his Indigenous people.Talokan is influenced by the Aztec paradise Tlálócán, which is ruled by the Aztec rain godTlálóc.

In manyways, Talokan is the mirror im ageofWakanda on the surface. Both are powerful kingdoms thathaveflourishedin secrecy. Both are the only known sources on the planetfor the fictionalmetal vibranium, which has an extraordinary abilitytoabsorb, store and release kinetic energy. And both are acutely aware of the racial injustices that have marginalized other diversepeoples in the outside world. But while Wakanda was never colonized, Talokan was created as a refugebyIndigenous survivors who escaped from the horrorsofSpanish colonization in Yucatán, Mexico.

ThefirstBlack Panthermovie was a groundbreaking blockbuster in 2018 that not only focused primarilyonBlack charac

ters, but also proved thatmainstream audiences wanted to see more diversityinfilm.As Huerta said,“Economically,itworksaswell.”

“Black Panther”grossed almost$1.35 billion worldwide, with 52% of thatbox office (justover $700 million) earned in the U.S. This adds up to nearly half of the boxoffice brought in by the top-grossing superhero film, “Avengers:Endgame,”(almost$2.8 billion worldwide). “Black Panther”narrow ly beatmainstream classics like“Star Wars: Episode VIII —The Last Jedi”(just over $1.33 billion), “Frozen”(nearly$1.31 billion) and “The Lord of the Rings: TheReturn of the King”(just under $1.15 billion).

“Black Panther: Wakanda Forever”pits both kingdoms —Wakanda and Talokan— against each other as the outside world plots to tap into their exclusive reserves of vibra nium.

But Huerta hopesthatthe proudstories of “brown and Black” peoples will inspire viewers to come together.

“Specially right now,weneed to identify with each otherand embrace each other,” he said. “You know,justkeep going.”

Alittle bitIndian, alittle bitAmerican’

New Libertyville restaurant will fulfill aparent’sdream

BY MICK ZAWISLAK ForReflejos

Singh’s Kitchen, soon to be the latestentree on Libertyville’s restaurant scene, is the realization of adream thatfaded years ago.

Featuring Indian food from traditional recipes served in afamiliar style, the restaurant’s planned opening in downtown Libertyville by early December ends nearly ayear of logistics and construction.

Founder Anmol Chandock described the newventure as “a little bit Indian, alittle bit American.”

“I was entranced with reviving my parents’ legacywhile creating anew one that includes the culture thatIassimilated into as afirst-generation Indian American,”hesaid.

Offerings will include avariety of traditional flavors available in Chipotle-style fashion, where customers can build their own dishes.

“I want (customers) to be able to trya bunch of different flavors. Iwant this to be aplace people can eateverydayand not feel guilty,”hesaid.

“We’ll have chef’sfavorites but you’ll have the opportunitytomakeyour own bowl —a broad experience of whatIndian food has to offer,” Chandock added.

Wraps, bowls, tacos, salads and plates will startwith abase of rice combined with Bombayorfried chicken, steak Shawarma, bayshrimp or tofu with achoice of toppings including pickled onions, Anmol cheese, or chana (chickpeas). Singh’s wings and loaded fries also are on the menu.

Chandock was born and raised in Bombay(now Mumbai), where his father owned four restaurants and three catering businesses. Theenvironment was infused with the aromas and flavors of ancestral recipes, he said.

Thefamily moved to the U.S. in 2002 and settled in Vernon Hills. Chandock studied to become achiropractor and practices in Libertyville.

Hisfather worked at the former Peacock Indian restaurant in Vernon Hills and his mother at apackaging plant. But unfamiliar with the culture, his parents’ dream of being restaurateurs in the U.S. slipped away while trying to provide for the family’s needs, Chandock said.

With an affinityfor the food and his Punjabi heritageintact, he began considering ways to rekindle his parents’ dream in anew manner

“With the supportofmyparents and my wife, our vision is to provide diners with a takeonIndian food thatisquick and healthy, in an environment thatisupbeatand enjoyable,”hesaid.

He began scouting locations along Milwaukee Avenue in Libertyville, as well as Wheeling, Lincolnshire and Vernon Hills. But thatwas about ayear before the COVID-19pandemic.

When astorefront became available on Milwaukee Avenue about ayear ago, Chandock went for it, figuring the one-of-a-kind family-owned restaurant would fit well among the eclectic variety of unique offerings thathavebecome the area’strademark.

“Wespend so much time in downtown Libertyville,”hesaid. “Itwould be agreatopportunitywedidn’t want to pass up. ”

He expandedthe idea and adjusted plans when the neighboring space suddenly became available.

Chandock explained thatSingh in Punjabi means lion.

“Weapproached the flavors integrated to our menu at Singh’s Kitchen with the same level of ferocityasthe lions we choose to represent our culture,”hesaid.

TheFIFAWorld Cup2022™Overview

TheFIFAWorld Cup 2022™ in Qatar is the firsttobehosted in the MiddleEast and the mostgeographically compactsince the inaugural edition of the tournament in 1930. TheFIFAWorld Cup 2022™ is unique in manyrespects, with the type of opportu nities and challengesrelated to sustainability being no exception.

TheFIFAWorld Cup™ is the biggest single-sportcompetition in the world. After apreliminary competition, the 32 qualified men’s national football teams compete to become world champions in afinal competi tionstaged during one month in ahostcountryselected by FIFA

It is anticipated thatover one million spectators will attend the tournament’s 64 matches, and the competition will reach a

global in-hometelevision audienceofover 3billion people, with more than one billion fans tuningintowatch the final match. In addition to the matches, there are ahostof other official competition-related events, including draws, team and referee seminars and workshops,opening and closing cere monies,awardceremonies, cultural events, press conferences and launch events.

Hosting the FIFAWorld Cup™ often represents ahistorical milestone and sym bolic achievementfor the hostcountry, with major implications for local communities, infrastructuredevelopment and service pro vision.Itincludes the employment and training of thousands of workers and volunteers, the transportationofhundreds of thousands of fans and the protection of people’s health

and safety throughout the tournament. The scale and complexityofthe tournamentcan generatesignificant opportunities for all those involved,but theyalso present arange of risks thatmustbeeffectivelymanaged in order to deliver asuccessfultournament.

Unique characteristics of the tournament

TheFIFAWorld Cup 2022™, which was awarded to Qatar in December 2010, will be the firstFIFAWorld Cup™ to be hosted in the Middle East. This is atremendous opportunityfor the region to welcome and connectwith billions of people from across the globe, showcasing its unique identityand culture and buildingnew bridges of under standing

Thetournamentwill be held from 21 November to 18 December 2022, when the averagetemperature in Qatar ranges from 24-28 degreesCelsius. Early in the planning process, the tournamentwas moved to win ter in Qatar,toprotectathletes and attend ees fromthe summer heat.

It will also have the mostgeographically compactfootprint in the tournament’s histo ry since the inaugural single-stadium edition in 1930, with all stadiums within 50km of the centre of Qatar’s capitalcityDoha. This hosting concept means thatspectators and players will spend less time travelling and moretime enjoying the tournament, and it will create opportunities to centralise the provision of some services and facilities.

WorldCup 2022:10matches to watch in theGroup Stage

BY DAVIDMOSSE FOXSports Soccer Researcher

The2022 FIFAWorld Cup draw is in the books, and while the consensus seems to be thatthere is no “Group of Death,”wehave plentyofenticing Group Stagematchups on the schedule.

Here are 10 fixtures thatshould have fans salivating between nowand when the tour nament kicks offNov.21.

SENEGAL VS.NETHERLANDS,GROUP A, NOV. 21

Reigning African champion Senegal could be somethingofa dark horse in Qatar, but for Sadio Mane to find the backofthe net in their opening match, he’llneed to getpast afamiliar face in the Netherlands’ back line in Liverpool teammate Virgil vanDijk.

Those twogoinghead-to-head is enough to makethis fixture amust-seebefore you throw in the factthatSenegalalso boast agreatcenter back in Kalidou Koulibaly and arguably the world’s bestgoalkeeperin Edouard Mendy

UNITED STATES VS.ENGLAND,GROUPB,NOV.25

Thesoccer gods —orisitfootball gods? —did us all afavor with this Black Friday showdown. Christian Pulisic is likely to come up againstChelsea teammates Mason Mount and Reece James, and the match will also have special meaning for Manchester City’sZack Steffen, Arsenal-boundMatt Turner and, mostofall,England-born An tonee Robinson.

Back in 1950, the UnitedStates pulled offmaybe the biggest upset in World Cup historybybeating England in Brazil, and in 2010, the twocountries played to a1-1 draw in South Africa. This time around, the Amer icans will have to contend with 2018 Golden Bootwinner HarryKane.

ARGENTINA VS.MEXICO, GROUPC,NOV.26

Argentina finally put an end to their 28-year trophy droughtbycapturing the 2021 Copa America crown, atriumph made sweeter by the factthattheylostthe 2015 and 2016 finals to Chile on penalties. The manager on the bench for bothofthose dev astating defeats was none other than Tata Martino, who will now lead Mexico against

his native country at this World Cup.

Martino mustfind away to stop Lionel Messi, who is playing better for countrythan club for the firsttime in his career.Messiwill be joined by astrong supporting castthatincludes the likes of Lautaro Martinez, RodrigoDePaul and Angel Di Maria. If nothing else, this fixture is an excuse to relive Maxi Rodriguez’sincredi ble round of 16 goal back in 2006.

POLAND VS.ARGENTINA,GROUPC,NOV.30

Messi tried his besttobegracious when collecting the 2021 Ballon d’Or by saying thatRobertLewandowski should have been given the award in 2020.But Lewandowski swatted away Messi’sgesture and has since made clear thathebelieves he was deserving of the prize in 2021 as well.

Lewandowski did win the FIFABest award, so this matchup actuallyfeatures two reigning World Players of the Year.And for all the talk about Messi’sWorld Cup foibles, Lewandowskihas plentytoprove as well af ter being shut out in 2018 as Poland crashed out in thegroupstage.

FRANCEVS. DENMARK,GROUP D, NOV.26

Just about everyone agrees thatdefending champions France boast the mosttalented squad at this World Cup. Kylian Mbappe is an even better player now than in 2018, and in an absurd case of the rich getting rich er,Les Blues added Karim Benzema to their attack. Thepossibilitycertainly exists for the

firstrepeat winnerssince Brazil in 1962.

It should make for a mouth-watering clash when France face aDenmark side that might justbethis year’s Croatia. TheDanes reached the semifinals of the previousEu ros, despite losing Christian Eriksentoan incredible health scare in the opening game Eriksen’spresence in Qatar will be one of the feel-good stories of the tournament.

SPAIN VS.GERMANY,GROUPE,NOV.27

Spain might not possess nearlythe same star power as theydid when theycaptured the 2010 World Cup, but theyremain com mitted to their Tiki-Taka style and have played some lovely stuffunder Luis Enrique Barcelona midfielderPedri will be one of the young players to watch in Qatar

Germanylooked likea spent force after their round of 16 exit at the Euros, but much of thathad to do with Joachim Lowoverstay ing his welcome. Hansi Flick has breathed newlife into the team, and an attack featur ing Thomas Muller,Kai Havertz, Leroy Sane and Serge Gnabry will be ahandful.

This is aclash of heavyweights and the onlyGroup Stagematch between twogenuine contenders to lift the trophy.

CANADAVS. MOROCCO, GROUP F, DEC.1

Belgium and Croatia are unquestionably the twostrongestteams in Group F, but al low me to salivateatthe prospectofapair of roadrunners such as Achraf Hakimi and Alphonso Davies occupying the same side of the field when Canada and Morocco meetin abattleofCinderella hopefuls.

Both these countries have reason to look back fondlyat1986. ForCanada, it represents their only previous World Cup appearance. And Moroccoadvanced to the knockout stagethatyear —the firsttime an African side accomplished thatfeat—by topping its group.

BRAZIL VS.SERBIA,GROUP G, NOV.24

Thebig developmentfor Brazil since last year’s CopaAmerica final defeat to Argentina hasbeen the emergence of several excit ing attackingplayers, such as Vinicius Ju nior, Raphinha, Antonyand, more recently, Gabriel Martinelli. They’veall helped make

the team less Neymar-dependent. But one thing the five-time world championsstill lack is aprolific center forward.

Serbia don’t have thatproblem, thanks to the presenceofDusan Vlahovic, who, in the absence of Erling Haaland, will be the most promising young striker at this WorldCup. Vlahovic wasn’t aroundwhen Brazil beatSer bia 2-0 in the 2018 group stage, and watching him tussle against the Brazilian backline this time willbeworth the priceofadmission.

PORTUGALVS. URUGUAY,GROUP H, NOV.28

Portugal’s underwhelming performances the pasttwo years shouldn’t obscure the factthatthis is afrighteningly talented team. Cristiano Ronaldo is on amissiontobecome the firstmen’s player to scoreinfive World Cups, and he’llbejoined in Qatar by asup porting castthatincludes Bruno Fernandes, Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva, DiogoJota, Joao Cancelo andRuben Dias.

This clashwith Uruguayoffers achance for revenge, as La Celesteeliminated Portu gal in the previous World Cup. But Uruguay have looked strong undernew boss Diego Alonso, and theypossess an interesting blend of youth and experience. Luis Suarez,Edin son Cavani and DiegoGodin are still around and joined by the likes of Darwin Nunez, Federico Valverde andRonald Araujo.

GHANA VS.URUGUAY,GROUPH,DEC.2

Luis Suarez’sintentionalhandball against Ghana in the 2010 World Cup quarterfinals has alwaysbeen somewhatunfairly included on his listoftransgressions. Suarez made the correctplayinthatsituation, and those who criticize him are adhering to some sports manship codeI’m not familiar with.

Nevertheless, thatplayreverberates to this day, as it deprived Ghana from becoming the firstAfricanside to reach aWorld Cup semifinal. TheBlack Starsget another shot at Uruguaythis time, and it figures to be an entertaining affair in the mostbalanced group of the tournament.

¿Y cuáles son esos comportamientos, artimañas orecursos que no funcio nan?

Pues para empezarnodaresultado evitar ohuir de aquellas situaciones que nos provocan ansiedad. Esta actitud, muy habitual, tiene un efectodealivio inicial, pero cuando volvemos aenfrentarnos alasituación que nos afecta probablemente nos costará más ylaansiedad aumentará.

Así lo ha explicado en entrevista aEFEsalud el psicólogo clínico Pedro Moreno, para quien tampoco funciona el evitar sentir. Se puede recurrir atomar alcohol oansiolíticos, pero no se ataja la causa. El cuerpo necesitará cada vez más cantidad de estas sustancias para redu cir las sensacionescorporales que provoca esta emoción producto de que nuestra mente anticipa miedos odesgracias, que luego muchas veces ni ocurren.

Tampoco es solución evitar pensar,elquerer distraerse, llevarlaatención aotra cosa obloquear los pensamientos tampoco funciona amedio ylargo plazo ylomismosucede cuando buscas aalguien para desahogarte yque te tranquilice.

Con todos estos recursos de los que echamos mano “no se ataca la raíz del malestar”, sino que se trata de reducir la ansiedad por medios que ala larga, ysegún Pedro Moreno, nos van atraermás ansiedad.

Sus soluciones están basadas en algunas técnicas de meditación, que él mismo practica desde hace muchos años.

Considera el especialista que calmar la mente, “reducir esa especie de eco mental” puede ser de gran ayuda para traer la serenidad ylatranquilidad.

ANSIEDAD CRÓNICA

Para ello, indica, un primer paso es ser más conscientes de lo que pensa mos cuando estamos mal. Después hay que permitirque los pensamientos oimágenes que aparez can espontáneamente en nuestra mente estén ahí, sin hacernada para bloquearlos omodi carlos.

“Darme cuentadeloque pienso ynodejarme llevar,son dos pasos que necesariamente debemos aprenderennuestro baile con la ansiedad cróni ca”.

Cultivar la atención consciente es el camino que propone el psicólogo para quien el asunto clave es aprenderaestar en lo que estás, lo contrario es la distracción.

“El arte de estar en lo que estamos se puede practicar con lasactividades cotidianas que realizamos cada día como ducharse, peinarse olavarse los dientes, pero siempre evitando tener la cabezaenotra parte”. Considera que la educación recibida en la infancia puede in uir en que uno se convierta luego en un adulto con problemas de ansiedad, pero se trata de aprender a“desactivar las trampas mentales” que te llevan apadecerla una yotravez. Así explica en su libro que la mente es como un circo de varias pistas y que ocurra lo que ocurra en nuestra mente lo importante es no bajarala pista para mezclarse con los acróbatas odomadores…

“Nuestro lugar está en la grada, como meros observadores de lo que allí ocurre, sin involucrarnos”.

DE ABEJ AS SI LV ESTRES

D E A B E J A S S I L V E S T R E S

Carlos Morales Fronteras de la Notiica -elparana. com No es una novedad el acelerado declive que han experimentado las abejas en los últimos años ni tampo co el peligro que siguen corriendo a consecuencia de distintos factores, en particularlos pesticidas.

Atribuir su caída en picado alos pes ticidas no fue algo inmediato. Hubo que esperar años hasta dar con el que es uno de sus principales dramas, pero una vez detectado el problema, no cesan de encontrarse nuevas evi dencias.

Un reciente estudio, sin ir más lejos, alerta sobre la dimensión de este problema ahondando sobre la peligrosidad de un tipo de pesticidas denominados neonicotinoides.

La novedad es su objeto de estudio, que en esta ocasión se centra en las abejas silvestres. Es decir,aquellas que no están produciendo miel para la apicultura, por lo que hacen sus propias colmenas(por lo general en huecos de árboles oenelsuelo) y requieren de una amplia variedad de plantas para sobrevivir

Hasta ahora, los estudios solían centrarse en las poblaciones de abejas domésticas. Todas las alarmas se dispararon cuando se comprobó que su población estaba diezmándose en

medio mundo aunritmo tremendo que las ponía contra las cuerdas.

De seguir así, se exterminarían en po cos años. Una situación alarmanteno solo para los agricultores, obviamente.

Tratándose de polinizadores todo lo que les afecte aellas también lo hace alahumanidad yalmedio ambiente en general. En su caso, además de los pesticidas, se señalaron los ácaros como una de las principales amena zas.

En concreto, los denominados ácaros traqueales podían acabar con una colonia en unas pocas semanas, ya que les impedíanvolar.

Por ahora, estos ácaros no son una amenaza para las abejas silvestres sino la pérdida de hábitat debido al desarrollo humano y, dentrodeéste el uso de estos pesticidas derivados de la nicotina.

o o o e e e s s e a , l , e s e

Tanto las abejas silvestres como las domésticas son piezas clave de la bio diversidad y, por lo tanto, tambiénde nuestra cadena alimenticia.

Publicado el 16 de agosto en la re vista Nature Communications, el es tudio concluye queeldeclive de las colonias de abejas silvestres es mucho más acusado cuando se alimentan de

forma regular con plantas tratadas con este tipo de insecticida. El traba jo demuestra que, frente alas abejas que pre eren ores, aquellas que se alimentan habitualmentecon aquellas sufrían una mortandad tres veces ma

yor.Estos resultados no dejan de ser sorprendentes, pero no es la primera vez que se estudia el impacto de estos pesticidas sobre las abejas en general, eigualmenteseobtuvieron resultados negativos.

Howthe dual language programhas evolved over half acentury

BY MADHU KRISHNAMURTHY For Reflejos

Growing up in apredominantly Span ish-speaking household, Giselle Naranjo wanted to stay connected to her roots and to family members who spokeonly her na tive tongue, while fitting in at school and in a community where English dominated

The17-year-old Larkin High School se nior, the daughterofMexican American par ents, has participated in Elgin Area School DistrictU-46’s bilingualprogram since elementaryschool and is graduating from it next spring with an added distinctionof earninganIllinoisState SealofBiliteracy.

“Ithas connected me more with my iden tity,”Naranjo said of the program. “Ithas helped me better understand my culture, my parents and myself,emotionally,mentally.”

U-46’sbilingual programismarking 50 years of helpingstudents becomebilingual and biliterate. It has evolved from justa few classesatselectsites into an award-winning dual language program offered districtwide starting in prekindergarten and going through high school.

Last school year saw the first graduating class of high school students from the dual language program. And the firstgroup of students who started in the program in first grade, including Naranjo, will graduate next spring

Forthe 2022-23 school year,U-46 has roughly 12,000 students enrolled in the dual languageprogram, making it one of the larg estdual languagedistricts in thecountry.

“Itmade me feel welcome and connect ed hereand not feel isolated from everybody else. LikeI belong, likeI’m beingrepresented,”said Naranjo, who certainly is not in the minorityatthe state’ssecond-largest school district.

U-46’spopulation of 35,377 students is 56.4% Hispanic, 24.4%white, 8.5% Asian, 6.2% Black and 3.3% twoormore races, Illi noisSchool ReportCard data show.

Naranjo, who is on the superintendent’s Student AdvisoryCouncil, says not losing her Spanish languageand her identity helped her gain confidence to succeed in other aspects of academics

“It’sagreatprivilegetosay Iknow two languages,”she said.“It’s justagreatgiftto be able to communicate.”

It’s askill Naranjo hopeswill translate into an assetfor afuture career in business and criminal justice.

Bilingual education

TheBilingual Education Actof1968isthe firstfederal recognition of the needs of students with limited English-speakingability.

Thelaw has undergone four reauthorizations with amendments. Over time, the definition of the populationserved hasbeen broadened from limitedEnglish speaking to limitedEnglish-proficient students.

U-46 embraced the newlaw’s require

ments with enthusiasm amid an explosion in the Elgin area’s Latino population.

“One of the things Ialways admired about the districtwas how theywere very proactive,”said Lois Sands, aretired district bilingual teacher and former principal of Streamwood Elementary Early Childhood Center,which served bilingual students.“Be fore it became law, theyhad alreadybeen offering bilingual services.”

Sands,70, of Elgin, is originally from Uruguayand studied in Mexico. She said bilingual educators likeherself sawstudents’ Spanish skills as astrength thatcould be transferred when learning anew language.

“Keeping kids strong in their home lan guagewas an emphasis,”she said. “And you would noticethe difference. Students who were strong readers in their native language made thattransition to English more quickly.

“Itwas justcommon sense. Ibelieveinit so strongly.I didn’t speak English to my son

until he was about 8because Iwanted him to maintain Spanish. Yousee the world in a different wayand you are open to other lan guages, also.”

In the early days of the bilingual program, Sands helped organize meetings with His panic parents to teach them how to support students at home.

“Wewould model to them reading to their children,”she said.

Such parent resources later evolvedinto U-46’sFamily Welcome Center,which helps newcomersand primarily immigrant families navigate the schoolsystem,and tests students’ English languageskills to determine whether theyqualify for the duallanguageprogram.

Thecenter was established in 2005 to ad dress the district’schanging demographics, reflecting thediversitywithin the 11 com munities U-46 serves. It has helped guide countless families through the enrollment processand getacclimated.

Language evolution

U-46’s80:20 dual languageprogram serves Spanish-speaking English learners from prekindergarten through eighthgrade. It offers abilingualeducational environ ment in whichstudents are taughtliteracy and academic content in English and Spanish starting in kindergarten, where 80% of classroom instruction is in Spanish and 20% in English

As students move up in grades, the por tionofEnglish instruction increases by 10 percentagepoints per grade until both lan guagesreach paritybythirdgrade.

High school students in the dual language programare required to takefour years of Spanish languageartsand four years of En glishlanguagearts. Courseworkincludes Advanced Placement offerings in Spanish.

Last school year,the districtadopted honors Spanish LanguageArts/Latinx Studies curriculum as an elective and capstone course for seniors in thedual languageprogram.

Thegoal is to foster bilingualism, biliter acyand multiculturalism. Officials saythat helpsstudents improveacademically while incorporating awareness of linguistic and cultural diversity.

Thegraduating Class of 2024will have students who have been with the program since kindergarten.

“Our districthas done afantastic job of committing to the dual languagemodel, so much so thatit’spartofboard policy,”said Griselda Pirtle, U-46 director of the Multi lingual and Multicultural Education Department.

Today’sdual languageprogram comes from an entirely different mindsetthan its predecessor, the Transitional Bilingual Ed ucation model, in which students were re quired to exit the program once theyreached proficiency in English. Theearlier model did not promote bilingualism.

“The transitional model was moreof likearemedial ‘let’sfixthem because they can’t speak English’type of mindset,”Pirtle said.“Whereas the dual languageprogram is more of likeenrichment.”

It capitalizesonand helpsmaintain stu dents’ home languageskills instead of seeing them as adeficit, she said.

More than 100 native languages, other than English, are spoken by students in the district. Nearly 70% of districtstudents speak another languageathome. U-46 offers re source teachers for some other languages, such as Gujarati, Polish and Urdu, but there aren’t enough students to establish adual lan guagemodel for those languages, officials said.

Pirtle said there are proven cognitive benefits thatcome frombeing bilingual, and manyqualitative measures show U-46’sdual languageprogram is helpingstudents gain aleg up over their peers by expanding stu dents’ worldview, promotingmulticulturalism and helping them gain the 21st-century skills sought by colleges andemployers.

Delia Ramirez: Illinois Elects FirstLatina Congressmember; Ran on Medicare forAll,Immigration Reform

DEMOCRACYNOW.ORG.

We speak with Congressmember-electDeliaRamirez,who won herelection for Illinois’s newly redrawn3rd Congressional District Tuesday, making her thefirstLatinaelected to CongressfromIllinois. Ramirez is aprogres sive Democratic staterepresentativewho is the daughter of Guatemalan immigrantsand the wifeofaDACArecipient. She campaigned on expandinghealthcare and housing accessfor working people, as well as passing theDREAM Act. “I represent an electoratethatisgrowing —anelectoratethatexpectsustodelivertoall people andput the politics to the side and make working familiesapriority,”saysRamirez.“We understand the importance of multicultural coalitionbuilding forall workingpeople.”

AMY GOODMAN: Chicago, whereone of the mostexciting victoriesfor progressives and the Latinx and immigrant communitiesintoday’s midterm electionstookplace, as Democratic stateRepresentative Delia Ramirez won herIl linoiselectionfor the newly redrawn 3rd Con gressionalDistrict,making her Illinois’sfirst Latina elected to Congress.

REP.-ELECT DELIA RAMIREZ: We justmade herstorytonight in the3rd Congressional District!

AMY GOODMAN: Well,you talk about people sending themselves at everylevel of elected of fice,and you, the first Latina to be electedto Congress.Talk aboutwho you represent and whatyou feel arethe keyissuesthatyou want to representinCongress.

REP.-ELECT DELIA RAMIREZ: Look, whenIannounced on December8th, ayear ago, that we were runningfor Congress,Iwas reallydeliberateabout making it “we,”thatwhile my name was on the ballot in Novemberand in June, I was taking the voices,the souls, the minds of the people that asked me to run.Theseare people who are strugglinginpayingfor their child care.Theseare peoplethatIhelped house 10 years agowhenIusedtorun ahomeless shelter.These are thesamepeople thatIhave been working withand building with so that we have progressives representing them in city council, in the stateHouse, in the stateSenate And these arepeople who have been fighting everysingle daytocreate affordable housing, so thatpeople canhave—families can have stable housing security.So, when Isay “we,” Iwant ed them to knowthattheymay not be on the ballot, buttheywere going with me —theyare going withmetoWashington,D.C.And that was reallyimportant

It meant that 800 volunteersworked very hard, endlessly,Amy,tomakesure thatImade it through avery, verychallenging primary, a primarywheremyopponents —particularly oneofthemdid everything in hispower to try to destroy my character,from commercials to mailers to radio to digitalads.And unfortunate for him,itbackfired, because the people on the doors knewthatmytrack record was oneofex panding healthcare coverage,ofhelping create democracythrough an electedschoolboard in Chicago, and Iwas someone that had secured more than$1.5 billion in emergencyhousing relief to keep people in theirhomes duringthe pandemic. It was clear. People knewIhad a

DELIA RAMIREZ

track record.TheyknewIrepresented thousands of people in my journey in public service, and thatIwas going —I am going to Congress to build anetwork thatwe’ve done in Illinois.

And so, you asked me:Whatare the things Iwanttoworkon? Youknow,Ikept saying, forme, this race is personal. I’mthe daughter of immigrants. Ihaveparents who can’tafford theirMedicare supplemental. My mother is on Medicaid,workinga minimum wage jobasa homecare worker.And as she caresfor this 93-year-old senior,she worriesabout her dia betes medicationand the fact thatthe agency thatshe worksfor pays so little thatshe can’t afford the$550-a-month healthcare insurance theyoffer,becausethose copays andthe cost of herinsulinisalmostathird of herentire in come.This is arealityfor me.

I’malso thewife of aDACArecipient, someonethat’sbeen heresince the ageof14. Iamentering Congressasthe only member of Congressina mixed-status family. So, healthcare, Medicare for All, expanding healthcare access andqualityisabsolutely important to me.Finally delivering,after 30 years of acon versation, on immigration reform is not somethingI’m going to justco-sponsor,talk about, hashtag. Iunderstand theurgency of the peo ple that are sendingmeand the responsibility to be aleader on theissue. In short term,my hope,and whatI call my futurecolleagues to do duringlame duck,istofinally passthe DREAM Actand give DACA recipients that pathwaytocitizenshipthattheydeserve, that my husbanddeserves,thatevery singleone of the young people whoare not thatyoung anymore,who look likeme, who are my age, have been waiting forasthey’ve contributed and called thisplacehome forsolong.

And then, Isay to you, lastly,isthe economy. WhatI heardpeople continue to sayand what resonated was, yes, we’vemadesomeprogress Yes, we helpedyou keep your housing during the pandemic.Yes, we’rehelping you, you know,through some child tax credits, through some supportservices. But thereality is it’s still not enough.You are stillstruggling with two jobs and barelymaking it. We have aresponsi bility to hold corporations accountable, andall of those thathaveprofited and created this inflation at thebacks of everyday working people.

So, immigration, healthcare,economyare front and centerfor me.

AMY GOODMAN: Let me askyou aboutyour assessment of the Biden administration on immigration, continuing to supportthe Trumperapandemic policies likeTitle 42,which has blocked at least 2millionmigrants from applying forasylum at theU.S.-Mexico border.What is your assessment of President Biden on im migration?

REP.-ELECT DELIA RAMIREZ: Ithink President Biden has done some good work, and we have a lot moretodo. Therealityisthatnoone travels throughCentral Americaorthrough ajungle of Venezuela if it wasn’t because they thought like it was lifeordeath. Thereality is thatwealso have to talk aboutwhatour relations withfor eignpolicyis—right? —and foreignpartners, or lack of

So, there is acomprehensiveimmigration reform thatwemusttakeonand have to under stand theroot causes of migration. People don’t come here because they wokeupand said, “I thinkI’m bored here in Chiquimula, Guatema la, you know, and living nearlystarving. I’mjust going to figure out how to find$10,000tobeginajourney of traveling that maymean Idie, Iget raped,Inever makeittothe other side.” People are crossing theborder becauseit’stheir only option to survival. In my opinion, these are refugees. Theseare people thatare seeking asylum from countries that,unfortunately,are destroying theabilityfor their everydaypeople to have even the basic needs met.

AMY GOODMAN: Let me askyou, Congress member-elect,about reproductiverights, something you have championed for along time. Abortion was areferendum in five different states, andabortionrights activistswon everyone. Threeofthose states, likeVermont andMichigan,itenshrined abortion rights in the stateconstitution. And then there were twoanti-abortion referenda, likeone in Kentucky thatwas overwhelmingly defeated.Can you respond to thisand how much further you wanttogoinCongresstoprotect reproductive rights?

REP.-ELECT DELIA RAMIREZ:InIllinoisin2019, as afreshman staterepresentative, Istoodwith 42 Democrat women in the stateHouse for six hours,demandingthatour chambercodify Roe

v. Wade,specifically preparing ourselves for this moment. It wasn’t an easy fight.And I’ll be hon estwith you: Therewere Democratsthatdidn’t votefor it. And certainly not one Republican on the other sidevoted for it, although theyknew clearly thattheywere voting againsttheirbest interest,their own interest, the women, Repub lican women, and others on the other side.To me, whatIthink about and whatIsaw here in Illinois and whatI’veseen across the countryis thatpeople are saying,women are saying, people who were born with afemale reproductive system, theyare being clear to say, “You don’t get to choosewhatI do overmybody.Mydecision to have afamily is adecision between my family and my doctor.”

So,whatIwant to do is Iwant to makesure there’snever afederal ban on abortion.WhatI want to do is to makesure thatwe’reeducating peopleonwhatabortion care and reproductive rights is and whatitisn’t,right? Becausethe amount of misinformation,and thisideathat you go intocommunities of colorand you just spread all this misinformationbecause they don’t knowbetter,Imean, that,tome, is the epitomeofwhatwhite supremacy and racism is.The truthisthatonelection night, on No vember 8th,at9,10, 11 p.m.,people across the country responded clearly and said, “Weknow better.Weare educated.Weknowwhatwe need. Andweknow whatweneedtoprotect.”

AMY GOODMAN: Andthen, your thoughts,fi nally,on—on the one hand, you had anumber of progressiveswho won, like SummerLee in Pennsylvania. She’llbethe first AfricanAmerican congressmember to represent Pennsylvania. And you’ve gotGregCasar in Austin,Texas, who wasthe youngest elected member of the Austin CityCouncil. Butyou alsohaveGreg Abbottwho won his reelection, the Texasgov ernor,and you’vegot, of course,Ron DeSantis in Florida, whoeasily wonhis reelection —two men whohavesentasylum seekers to citieslike NewYork and your city,Chicago, in akindof defiantshow of anti-immigrant zeal, withRon DeSantis possibly being apresidential candi date in 2024.Your final comments abouthow you feel it’s mostimportanttorepresent immi grantsinthiscountry today?

REP.-ELECT DELIA RAMIREZ: Yeah. Look,the fearmongeringand scapegoating of immigrantsisnot anew thing. They’vedone thistous, and you will seethatevery single election cycle.All of asuddenyou hear about caravans. In this case, we are hearing about Venezuelans coming through the border. And you have seenpeople traffic immigrants across this country, put them on planes.This could not have been more painful to see. Imet a 3-year-old,Camila,who alreadyhad learnedat the ageof3thatshe had to give me an alias, because shewas so afraid thather family would getdeported, in Texas, or she’d getdeported if she gotsent to Florida.

Therealityisthatifwesay thatweare a country of diversity,ifwesay we areacountry thatwelcomes all people, thatisa superpower, abeautiful nation—right? —thatstandson justiceand love,thenweshould be acountry that’spro-immigrant. Andthe reality, thatin thismomentweare not.

Oficinas del futuro: la tecnología reconfigura los espacios de trabajo

Teletrabajo ypresencialidad convivirán al combinarse reuniones físicas yvirtuales; los puestos de trabajo serán dinámicos ycada vezmás orientados alaproductividad, la cooperación yelbienestardelos empleados.

Fronteras de la Noticia -The NY Times iseconsulta alos gurús del mundo empre sarial acerca de los modelos de o cina del futuro, existe un término que aparece una yotra vez: trabajo híbrido. Yesque, has ta hace pocos años, la disyuntiva era clara: la mayoría de los puestos de trabajoeran presenciales, mientras que una pequeña proporción de los empleados apostaba por el teletrabajo. Luego llegó la pandemia yaceleró la transición, pero en el fondo, la transformación venía ya impulsada por la digitalización yelcambio tecnológico. Ejemplo de ello son conceptos como la realidad mixta oelmetaverso, que empezarán asonar cada vez más fuerte en el trabajo diario. Por eso el trabajo como activi dad ynocomo un lugar al que acudir cada día es una realidad cada vez más evidente. Talcomo se apunta en un artículo de Work &Place, estamos antes la con uencia de numerosos factores, que van desde la nueva cultura de trabajo postpandemia hasta movimientos más profundos como la industria .0, la inteligencia arti cial,laautomati zación de procesos ylainternacionalización de los equipos de trabajo.

Así, la evolución apunta hacia modelos híbridos que conjuguen la presencia física de los trabajadores yla posibilidad de trabajar en remoto. Ynohablamos de una hipótesis lejana en el tiempo: un recienteinforme de Glisser señalaba que dos tercios de las principa les empresas del índice FTSE 100 estadounidense ya apuestan por modalidades de trabajo híbrido. Yahí la tecnología desempeñará un papel crucial En el mundo de la o cina, estar onoestar solía ser el dilema. Sin embargo, la innovación tecnológica está transformado el mismísimo concepto de presencia. Las videoconferencias han venido para quedarse, pero van airmás allá de una webcam en el portátil en casa. Atenor de la propuesta en la que está trabajando Google, las videoconferencias van aconvivir con las reuniones presenciales. amp re es el nombre con el que han bautizado esta nueva fórmula de trabajo. Otra forma de interpretar la movilidad en Google será la posibilidad de solicitar el traslado aotras o cinas de la empresa, lo que combinará el nomadismo digital con las o cinas de cementoyladrillo. En declara ciones aThe New York Times, Michelle Kaufmann, responsable del rediseño de la o cina del futuro de Google, apunta hacia el ndel puesto de trabajo pro pio. El objetivo es que los empleados puedan ocupar

cualquier puesto en función de la asistencia de ese día, yque también puedan crear su propia sala de reuniones con el tamaño que necesiten. además de propuestas como el amp re de Google, comenzará anormalizarse la idea de combinar reu niones de equipo presenciales con el salto al meta verso por medio de gafas de realidad virtual omixta yavatares. De igual manera, se podrá inspeccionar instalaciones industriales amiles de kilómetros des de el puesto de trabajo ysin necesidad de desplazarse.

Por último, el software también será clave en la tran sición hacia los modelos híbridos. Una muestra de ello es Atmosphere, una app de espacios de trabajo desarrollada por Okta, una empresa con base en San Francisco. Ese software impulsará un modelo que han bautizado comoTrabajo Dinámico.

Gracias aAtmosphere, los empleados tienen un per lúnico al que se adaptan automáticamente los dis positivos alos que se conectan ydesde el que pueden reservar recursos como salas de reuniones over calendarios de compañeros de trabajo yconectarse areuniones celebradas en otros lugares. Ese tipo de iniciativas están destinadas acambiar la relación de las personas con sus dispositivos.

Uno de los mayores escándalos más sonados de los últimos años en el mundo de Hollywood (y en el mundo en general) es sin duda alguna el que protagonizó Harvey Weinstein. El ex pro ductor de cine fue acusado por acoso sexual por parte de varias mujeres, entre ellas Ashley Judd, en 2017. Ahora, la película‘Al Descubierto’ (She Said) nos narrará esos acontecimientos.

El largometraje está dirigida por la ganadora de un Emmy Maria Schrader,alaque conocemos por tratar un tema similar en la serie limitada ‘Unorthodox‘, apartir de un guion de Rebecca Lenkiewicz (ganadora de un Oscar® por ‘Ida’ en 2013).

‘Al Descubierto’ (She Said) se estrena el próxi mo 18 de noviembre de 2022 en las salas de cine con la distribución de Universal Pictures. La pe lícula viene con el aval de estar producida por

Brad Pitt ylos oscarizados productores de pelí culas como ’12 años de esclavitud’ o‘Minari’. La películaestá basada en el best seller de New York Times “She Said: La investigación periodística que destapó los abusos de Harvey Weins tein eimpulsó el movimiento #MeToo”.

Las reporteras del New York Times, Megan Twohey yJodi Kantor,publicaron una de las historias más importantes de una generación.
