Mexican student to participate in NASA’s next mission to explore Titan

He’ll contribute scientific experience as well as inherited knowledge from his Mayan astronomer ancestors, he said

A Campeche man will contribute to NASA’s mission to explore Titan, the largest moon of Saturn.

Guillermo Adrián Chin Canché, a Mayan man currently studying in Ensenada, Baja California, will assist the U.S. space agency in its mission to deliver an eight-bladed rotorcraft dubbed “Dragonfly” to Titan.

“Slated for launch in 2027 and arrival in 2034, Dragonfly will sample and examine dozens of promising sites around Saturn’s icy moon and advance our search for the building blocks of life,” NASA says on its website.

Chin Canché, a physical oceanography student at Ensenada’s Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education, told the EFE news agency that his research in the fields of planetary science and astrobiology allowed him to collaborate on the Dragonfly project. He will be the only Mexican to contribute to the mission.

Chin Canché said he will work with NASA to study the atmosphere of Titan, which is larger than the planet Mercury and the second largest moon in the solar system. He said the aim of his work is to “predict meteorological phenomenons,” including turbulence that could affect Dragonfly’s flight.

“During its 2.7-year (32-month) baseline mission, Dragonfly will explore Titan’s diverse environments and take advantage of its dense nitrogen-based atmosphere – four times denser than Earth’s – to fly like a drone.”

8 Questions on the Life + Work of Diego Rivera

Compiled by the El Reportero‘s staff

Diego Rivera’s America – Experience the richest years of Rivera’s prolific career through 150 artworks from the 1920s to mid-1940s

James Oles discusses curating the most in-depth examination of Rivera’s work in over two decades.

Diego Rivera’s America, on view through Jan. 2, 2023, revisits one of the most aesthetically, socially, and politically ambitious artists of the twentieth century. The exhibition opens with Rivera’s return to Mexico in 1921, then covers his rise to international fame for social realist paintings focused on Mexican traditional culture and the working class, his trips to San Francisco in 1930–31 and 1940, and concludes with works done at the beginning of the Cold War.

Organized thematically, the exhibition includes galleries dedicated to places like Tehuantepec and Manhattan that captured his imagination, and to his favorite subjects, such as street markets, popular celebrations, and images of labor and industry. In this interview, guest curator James Oles shares insights into Rivera’s bold vision, and themes and works on view. “In each gallery you’ll be surrounded by related paintings and drawings that are like mini-exhibitions that show Rivera’s mind at work,” Oles says.

At SFMOMA, 151 Third St, Floor 4, San Francisco. Closing Jan. 3, 2023.

Queen of Ranchera Music! Aida Cuevas

A multi GRAMMY nominee and 2x GRAMMY winner is widely as the “Queen of Ranchera Music,” and “La Voz de México” (the Voice of Mexico) in her native country, she celebrates her 47th year as performer with this special show, “Yo Creo Que Es Tiempo” (“I Think It’s Time”), named for her 1983 hit written by her late mentor and producer, pop icon Juan Gabriel.

Much like Ella Fitzgerald’s classic releases for Verve, her “songbook” albums have played a central role in defining Mexican popular music. Over her career, she’s recorded an impressive 41 full-length albums that have sold internationally in excess of 11 million copies. In 2017 released her studio album “Arrieros Somos” (Versiones Acústicas), and became the first female mariachi vocalist to win a GRAMMY (for Best Regional Mexican Music Album).

Her two latest albums (2020 & 2021), Antología de la Musica Ranchera Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, feature her interpretations of the timeless songs made famous by the iconic 1930s ranchera singer Lucha Reyes and both made a GRAMMY nomination.

Oscars: Dominican Republic Picks ‘Bantú Mama’ as International Feature Submission

Screenshot

Focusing on a French-Cameroonian woman who manages to escape after being arrested, director and co-writer Ivan Herrera’s drama stars Clarisse Albrecht and bowed at SXSW

by Etan Vlessing

The indie drama Bantú Mama has been selected as Dominican Republic’s best international feature film entry for the upcoming 95th Academy Awards.

Ivan Herrera’s film follows Emma, a French-Cameroonian woman played by Clarisse Albrecht. After being arrested in the Dominican Republic, she escapes and is sheltered by three semi-orphaned kids in Santo Domingo, according to the film’s synopsis.

By becoming their maternal figure as a fugitive in a dangerous section of the city, Emma will see her destiny change as she finds redemption, the film’s logline continues. Herrera and Albrecht co-wrote the script for Bantú Mama, which also stars Euris Javiet, Johnny Morales Jr., Arturo Perez, Scarlet Reyes and Donis Taveras.

Actress, screenwriter, producer and songwriter Albrecht was born to a French father and a Cameroonian mother and grew up in France, Guinea-Bissau and Mozambique. She lives in the Dominican Republic, where she co-founded the production companies Too Caribbean and Point Barre.

Bantú Mama, which had its world premiere at SXSW, is produced by Point Barre, with production having taken place in the Dominican Republic, France and Senegal.

The film has had a wide run on the film festival circuit, including at the BFI London Film Festival, the Pan African Film Festival, the Philadelphia Latino Film Festival and the Chicago Latino Film Festival.

“We enjoy the sensory, almost textural images of the film: the sky, the water, the graffitied walls of the shantytown, the bodies dancing, and motorbikes circling,” said film critic, Fernando G. Herrero, of the film.

To Rob Aldam, “Bantú Mama is a whimsical and compelling portrait of a women whose life has taken an unexpected turn for the worse. An expression telling a thousand words. Bantú Mama is a all about second chances. It’s pacing and minimalism will not be for some, but it’s a finely crafted character study.”

In Mexico struggling with learning Spanish? Try being a baby for a while

Sarah DeVries’ quick tips includes giving yourself permission to simply observe Spanish in use, like infants do

 

by Sarah DeVries

 

The first year I was in Mexico, I took Spanish classes at the School for Foreign Students at the Universidad Veracruzana. My classmates were mostly college students like me, and they came from all over the world.

The European students always made me feel a little bit jealous. As I struggled through verb conjugations and new vocabulary, they’d say things like, “Oh, I just keep getting Spanish confused with Italian!”

When it comes to those of us from (north-er) North America, we’ve really only got the one language, unless you happen to be French Canadian. And when your native language is the lingua franca of the day, it means that not much effort is made to take advantage of kids’ spongey brains language-wise. What for, we think? You already speak the language that everyone else in the world must adapt to.

This means, of course, that most of us learn second languages as adults, when it’s decidedly harder. Learning a language as a child happens naturally, and as long as we are around the language and are forced to use it, we’ll learn it.

So unlike, say, the Danish, who learn English and perhaps a few other languages as children, we English speakers are both privileged in that most people attempt to speak our language and at a disadvantage because for the most part, we get to adulthood not knowing how to learn another language; the experience simply hasn’t been necessary.

Even so, we all know the joke: “What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual. What do you call someone who speaks one language? American.”

While this is fair, I can’t help but feel a little offended. I mean, all emotions aside, we’ve got one giant ocean on one side of us, one giant ocean on the other side of us, and a world full of people who already speak our language. What do you expect?

If you’re reading this article, chances are you’re interested in either learning Spanish or continuing to learn Spanish. Maybe you’re already fluent! (If that’s the case, feel free to add on in the comments to what I’ve written.)

As someone who went through the humiliating yet very rewarding experience of learning Spanish as an adult, I’ve got some general tips. Read on if you need some encouragement!

  1. Just listen for a while. Think about how we all learn our first languages: we don’t even attempt to start saying anything coherent until we’re at least a year old, and I personally know plenty of four-year-olds that can still only barely be understood. So give yourself a break, and remember that it’s okay to just sit there and absorb the sounds around you without worrying about what they mean. Try to do so as often as possible. Pay attention to the sounds people make when they’re speaking, the tone of their voices in certain situations, the cadence of their speech. It’s also a nice way to calm down your anxiety about not understanding: “It’s alright, I’m just a baby.”
  2. Listen to music and watch TV and movies in Spanish. This is an even more stress-free way to simply listen, as there’s no expectation that you’ll need to answer the other people. Keeping subtitles on might help as well. There are plenty of phrases, words, and common exclamations that I know today because I read English subtitles while they were said on TV and thought, “Oh, so that’s how you say that!” It’s also a great way to get yourself out of the habit of trying to translate something from English, because it widens your repertoire naturally, introducing aspects of the language without first passing through your native language filter.
  3. Now that I’m on my third tip, it occurs to me that most of these are still about listening. No matter! Again, so much of learning is simply paying attention. What do people say when they greet each other and when they leave? What do they say when they want to get someone’s attention? What do they say when they’re surprised, and what are the filler words and phrases they say without thinking (“ahorita”, anyone?)? Learning these will get you far on your quest of speaking like a native.
  4. Don’t get too hung up about your accent. We all have accents; even “native speakers” have regional accents. I won’t lie: the English-speaker’s accent in Spanish is not very sexy. It’s not like a French accent in English or even a German accent in English. But you know what? That’s okay. And the more you listen to others, the more you’ll be able to imitate them. Learning to roll your r’s, for example, is a big step and really does come with practice.
  5. Some further tips on pronunciation: remember that all the letters in Spanish are pronounced (for the most part) individually and that they are pronounced the same way every time, in every word. So an “o” will always sound the same, as will a “g”, as will a “u”… you get the idea. In English we’re able to be a bit lazy with our vowels in that we let our mouths keep moving once we’ve started saying them (think about how we say the letter “a” for example: “aee.”) In Spanish, the vowels don’t move around as the milliseconds go by, and making sure you don’t let them will do wonders for your accent. Nail the vowels – they are all sounds we also have in English – and you’re golden. Consonants are mostly the same, though the “d” is a bit more forceful in Spanish – almost halfway to a “th” sound — and the “b” and “v” are pronounced so similarly (each one about halfway between the two) that even when Mexicans spell out a word aloud for someone else, they will usually say B-grande to mean “B” or B-chica or V-chica to mean “V” so that the person writing down the word can be sure which they intend. (There is some conflict among Mexicans about which to use. Some will insist that the chica version is said with a “B” and others say it’s with a “V,” but they both sound the same when said aloud, so…)

So remember, be like a baby: listen closely and don’t stress. And even if your Spanish remains subpar for life – hey, not everyone’s got a knack for languages – remember that at least in Mexico, you’re surrounded by tolerant and friendly people who will do their best to communicate.

Federal judge stops Biden from imposing limits to ICE enforcement

by Chief Editor

ConsFighters

 

President Joe Biden’s administration has been blocked by a federal court from imposing limitations on arrests, detentions, and removals by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Southern District of Ohio Judge Michael Newman made the decision after a lawsuit was filed by Republican Attorneys General of Arizona, Montana, and Ohio.

He issued a preliminary injunction stopping Biden from imposing the new guidelines on punishments for illegal immigration.

“The States sue because they believe DHS skirted Congress’s immigration enforcement mandates when it issued a policy that prioritizes certain high-risk noncitizens for apprehension and removal,” the judge said. “DHS contends that seemingly mandatory statutes must be read flexibly to permit efficient law enforcement.”

“At bottom, that is what this dispute is about: can the Executive displace clear congressional command in the name of resource allocation and enforcement goals? Here, the answer is no,” he added.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost sued the Biden administration in November 2021 over the policy revision, which they said: “dramatically ties the hands of immigration officers, halting nearly all deportations.”

That month, the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, issued permanent guidance to limit whom ICE could arrest and thus remove from the country.

The guidance established that ICE officers had to obtain permission to arrest illegal immigrants who had not been convicted of an aggravated felony, were not affiliated with a gang or terrorist network or had illegally entered the U.S. before November 2020.

However, liberals are not backing down in the fight.

Liberal groups and some former government officials are calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate the Biden administration’s policy that narrowed which immigrants should be targeted for removal.

On Monday, the groups “told the high court in eight friend-of-the-court briefs filed Monday that they each had strong interests in the policy staying intact,” Law360 reported.

“As former DHS and [Immigration and Naturalization Service] officials, amici know well the importance of these policies,” a group of former DHS and INS officials said. “Policies setting enforcement goals and priorities allow immigration officials to concentrate resources on noncitizens whose removal would best serve government interests….”

“The policy notably put in place a case-by-case analysis in determining whether an individual should be removed, and notably emphasized that officials should dive into the circumstances of someone’s criminal convictions rather than rely only on the fact that the individual was convicted,” Law360 noted in its report.

“The Biden administration petitioned for a writ of certiorari in July, asking the high court to take up its case for review. The former DHS and INS officials said that while they differed in their views of the guidelines as a matter of policy, they all have observed first-hand the critical role guidelines play in immigration law enforcement. Administrations of both parties have for decades used their enforcement discretion to meet the “unique and variable” challenges in immigration, the officials added, pointing to how administrations have used their discretion in addressing limited enforcement resources as an example,” the report added.

“But even if the policy did prohibit DHS officers from making certain arrests, the lower Texas court’s decision to toss the case still couldn’t stand since the relevant immigration statutes concerning the detention and removal of noncitizens didn’t deprive DHS of its “prosecutorial discretion” to decide whether to go forward with removal proceedings. A group of 21 local governments and local government organizations said their interest in keeping removal discretion with the federal government lies in the fact that millions of their residents are immigrants,” the report continued.

“Without such discretion, the health and safety of amici’s communities will suffer,” their brief reads. “Immigrants will increasingly fear deportation, leading many to avoid contact with local law enforcement or healthcare services — a result that would harm all of amici’s residents.

Texas governor designates Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations

Greg Abbott also ordered state public safety officials to create a division to gather intelligence on Mexican cartels

by the El Reportero‘s wire services

Texas Governor Greg Abbott on Wednesday designated Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations and ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to establish a Mexican cartel division.

In an executive order, Abbott said that Mexican cartels are responsible for trafficking hundreds of millions of lethal doses of fentanyl into Texas and the United States and that 1,600 Texans were fatally poisoned by drugs containing fentanyl in 2021, “an increase of more than 680 percent since 2018.”

The governor also said that Mexican cartels smuggle humans across the Texas-Mexico border and generate “deadly violence.”

Citing powers vested in him by the U.S. constitution and laws of the state of Texas, Abbott designated the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and “any similarly situated Mexican drug cartels who may be identified in subsequent proclamations” as “foreign terrorist organizations.”

He said that the designation would “target [cartels] for enhanced apprehension, prosecution, and disruption, while heightening awareness of their deadly activities for our citizens and the international community.”

Abbott ordered the DPS to “establish a Mexican Cartel Division within the Texas Fusion Center to collect and analyze intelligence that will enable further apprehension, prosecution, and disruption of these foreign terrorist organizations.”

Among six other orders, he directed the DPS to “identify, arrest, and impede the gangs in Texas that support the drug and human smuggling operations of these foreign terrorist organizations.”

The Texas Tribune described the governor’s designation as “largely symbolic” because Texas doesn’t have terrorism-related statutes.

Abbott also wrote to U.S. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris to urge them to designate Mexican cartels as terrorist organizations.

“Mexican drug cartels terrorize the United States and its citizens every day, leaving thousands of dead bodies in their wake. Their latest weapons of choice are the millions of tiny pills laced with fentanyl that they pour across our southern border. As a result, it is necessary, now more than ever, for you to designate the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, and any similarly situated Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act,” he wrote.

Food supply 101: How to grow edible mushrooms in your home garden

by Zoey Sky

 

07/20/2022 – Knowing how to grow your own food before disaster strikes ensures that you can feed your family nutritious fruits and vegetables. And even if nothing happens, nothing beats fresh produce that you have grown right in your backyard.

If you want to add to your skillset before SHTF, try learning how to grow edible mushrooms. Mushrooms can help enhance garden soil, they’re nutritious and they taste good too. (h/t to Milkwood.net)

Why grow mushrooms?

With the right tools and resources, growing mushrooms is safe, easy and maybe even free. Unlike a full-sized garden that requires a lot of your time, money and effort, a mushroom garden doesn’t require fancy equipment or ingredients.

If you’re strapped for cash, start by learning how to forage mushrooms properly, making sure to learn how to identify species that are safe to eat and those that are poisonous.

Mushroom gardens can be an essential part of your backyard growing system because:

  • They are easy to establish.
  • They can support your home garden ecosystem as they grow.
  • They can produce regular harvests of delicious mushrooms for your meals.

If space is an issue, you can grow mushrooms in a tub on your balcony or back step.

Once you understand the basics of cultivating a mushroom garden, you can experiment until you figure out which mushrooms you want to grow more of.

Best mushroom species for home gardens

Here are some of the best mushrooms to grow for beginners:

King stropharia (Stropharia rugosoannulata)

King stropharia will grow in wood chip gardens. It’s best to use hardwood wood chips, but king stropharia will also grow in straw and many other farm waste products.

King stropharia grows in a very broad range of temperatures, from about 41 to 95 F (5 to 35 C), so they’re suited for both temperate and subtropical climates.

These mushrooms require good moisture, so water them regularly. King stropharia will take four to six months from inoculation to fruiting, which may vary depending on inoculation rates and which substrate you use.

Pearl oyster (Pleurotus ostreatus)

If you want to start small, you can grow pearl oyster mushrooms via bucket or jar cultivation.

There are many Pleurotus species, such as Pleurotus djamor (pink oyster), Pleurotus citrinopileatus (golden oyster) and Pleurotus eryngii (king oyster).

Oyster mushrooms prefer pasteurized straw or sawdust, but they will fruit well on most farm waste products like cellulose and lignin. These mushrooms prefer hardwood logs or stumps for outdoor cultivation.

If you’re using coffee grounds, make sure you use them while they are very fresh since the grounds have a relatively high nutrient content and can be prone to contamination.

Pearl oyster are adaptable and will tolerate a range of growing conditions. They can fruit from 45 to 77 F (7 to 25 C). Pearl oyster will grow quickly, taking around two to three weeks for indoor cultivation, depending on ambient temperature and the inoculation rates of the substrate used.

Shiitake (Lentinula edodes)

Shiitake is suitable for gardeners starting outdoor cultivation. You can grow them on logs in your garden. Shiitake prefers fruiting substrates like hardwood logs of almost every type. Note that yields will vary according to the log species.

Eucalyptus works well if you can’t find alder, beech or oak. Shiitake can also be grown on sawdust.

Some strains of shiitake can fruit between 57 and 68 F (14 and 20 C). This is a wide enough bracket for most temperate climates. Note that there are colder and warmer strains that fruit below and above that temperature range.

Shiitake takes a while to grow. When grown on logs, they can take six to 12 months or longer, depending on the climate and inoculation rates of the log. When grown on sawdust blocks, shiitake will take around seven to 10 weeks.

Velvet pioppini (Agrocybe aegerita)

Velvet pioppini is native to poplar wood and has a nutty bite. Use it for stir-fries and other cooking methods.

Velvet pioppini prefers hardwood sawdust and suits jar cultivation. Velvet pioppini will also grow well on logs and stumps.

This mushroom prefers temperatures of around 55 to 64 F (13 to 18 C). The mushrooms usually fruit in the spring, after the colder months. Velvet pioppini grows after eight to 12 months for outdoor log cultivation or about six weeks for indoor cultivation.

Tips for growing mushrooms indoors

It may seem unusual but it’s actually easier to grow mushrooms indoors. Since you can control the conditions, they grow much quicker indoors than they would outside.

When growing mushrooms, you can buy growing kits to make things easier or start from scratch on your own. If you want to try using growing kits, buy them from reputable dealers.

Spore or spawn?

You can buy either spore or spawn. Imagine mushroom spores as seeds and spawn as seedlings.

Note that spawn will be much easier to grow for beginners.

Choose the right location 

Mushrooms prefer a cool, dark and damp location, like a basement, inside a cabinet or inside a closet.

To save money, you can grow mushrooms on empty salad containers you get at the grocery store. Choose a container that is at least six inches deep to allow the mycelium or a mushroom root system to grow.

Starting mushrooms 

Different mushrooms will prefer different mediums. Some mushrooms thrive in coffee grounds while others prefer sawdust.

To start mushrooms, place the spawn on its preferred growing medium. It’s best to start mushrooms at 70 F.

Use a thermometer to ensure that you have the right temperature for your mushrooms.

If necessary, place their container on a heating pad to help warm up the mushrooms. For the first few days, mushrooms must remain undisturbed. Limit their exposure to heat, light and drafts.

Once mushrooms have rooted, you can lower the temperature. Do this only after several weeks. Like growing mediums, each mushroom has a preferred temperature.

When you lower the temperature, cover the spawn with an inch of potting soil. Cover the soil with a damp cloth and spray the cloth with water to keep it wet.

Unlike plants, mushrooms don’t contain chlorophyll so they don’t require sunlight to grow.

Once you harvest a mushroom, its stem will rot away. Sometimes, new mushrooms may emerge and grow from other spawns or spores. If you want to have a continuous crop, add more spawn.

Harvesting mushrooms 

Mushrooms will be ready to harvest when the cap has fully opened and separated from the stem, which should take an average of about three to four weeks.

Don’t pull mushrooms because this may damage the surrounding fungi. Instead, use a sharp knife to cut the mushroom right on the stalk.

When is the best time to start growing mushrooms?

Since different species of mushrooms will thrive in slightly different growing conditions, you need to check when you should start your garden.

Mycelium will take several months to run through the substrate, so don’t expose it to freezing winters or hot dry summers during this phase. Extreme temperatures could kill a freshly inoculated bed or tub, but once the mycelium is established it will be more hardy.

Ideally, you should establish your garden in the milder part of the year, when the temperature is unlikely to go below freezing or above 90 F (30 C).

If you live in an area with hot dry summers where the soil won’t freeze in winter, you should start your garden during fall or early spring to give it the best chance.

For those who live in areas with very cold winters, you can start your garden in late spring to early summer. This ensures that your garden will have time to get established before having to deal with very cold temperatures.

If your climate is very cold you might need to protect your bed with a greenhouse or bring your tub indoors.
