Floyd Mayweather says he’s ‘coming out of retirement’ to fight Conor McGregorShare

from/by Brian Nealon

Floyd Mayweather is coming out of retirement to pursue a fight with McGregor, and he wants to fight the UFC champion in June.

“Today, I’m officially out of retirement for Conor McGregor,” Mayweather said in an interview with FightHype.com during his tour of the United Kingdom. “We don’t need to waste no time. We need to make this sh*t happens quickly. Let’s get it on in June.”

Mayweather officially retired from boxing in September of 2015 after his victory over Andre Berto, moving his career record to 49-0. Since then, Mayweather wanted no part of returning to the ring, until McGregor’s name was brought to the spotlight.

“For Conor McGregor, I’m coming out of retirement, just to fight Conor McGregor. I don’t want to hear no more excuses about the money, about the UFC. Sign the paper with the UFC so you can fight me in June. Simple and plain. Let’s fight in June.”

Though McGregor has said he expects his next fight to be in the boxing ring, the two-time champion is currently on a break from fighting as the birth of his first born son is expected in May.

The incessant back-and-forth between the two garrulous fighters has been raging for months, as each has parried and jabbed in a (deliberately) public hype war for a fight that, for all intents and purposes, is still very much a long shot. (As are McGregor’s odds, according to Vegas bookies.) Mayweather said in February that a fight was “close to happening,” then took to social media a day later and said “no deal,” in what amounted to yet another double-fake from the talented hypemasters.

So June could happen. Who knows? Maybe “Money” (pun intended) will influence his timeline to move up, as it is looking like the biggest pay-per-view event of all time. If, of course, it ever happens.

Atole: beverage of champions

Since pre-Hispanic times, this hot, corn-based drink has fueled runners and delighted the masses

by Janet Blaser

The first time I encountered atole was in the days between Christmas and New Year’s, at a stand outside a busy department store in Mazatlán where I’d gone with a local friend to exchange a gift. She was in a hurry; I lingered by the door, watching the vendor ladle the steaming hot something into cups and hand them to appreciative customers. “What is that? I want some!” I wailed as she bundled me into the store and onto the elevator.

Good friend that she is, on the way out, we stopped and she explained about the delicious beverage we were about to try. I’ve never forgotten that first, wonderful taste of atole and what a satisfying drink it is for a chilly winter’s evening.

Since then, I’ve learned much about this ancient pre-Hispanic beverage. The simplest description is that it’s a thick, hot, corn-based drink, sweetened and flavored with everything from cinnamon or vanilla to guava, almonds or citrus zest. (Chocolate atole has its own name: champurrado.) “Corn” as in masa harina, nixtamalized ground dried field corn that’s the basis of tortillas, gorditas, etc.

Popular in many Central American countries, in Mexico you’ll find atole in different flavors specific to different regions, running the gamut from sweet to savory. For example, in Oaxaca, Veracruz and Michoacán, chileatole, a spicy-savory version made with chile and epazote, is common. In northern Mexico, the famed Tarahumara — known all over the world for amazing long-distance runners — have used masa-based, energy-filled pinole as a staple in their diet for thousands of years.

We’re lucky that nowadays we don’t have to grind dried corn; using masa harina para tortillas will yield a fine atole. Do avoid recipes with cornstarch; the result, while admittedly delicious, will not have the same thick consistency that’s part of atole’s charm. (That said, there’s nothing wrong with keeping a few packets of Maizena corn starch in your cupboard for a quick atole-like fix!)

Another fun part of atole is using a traditional wooden molinillo to froth the drink just before serving. My guess is you’ve seen these in your local mercado and didn’t quite know what they were for; or if you did, I bet you’ve never used one.

They come in all sorts of interesting sizes and designs, and while a wire whisk works just as well, a molinillo is a lot more fun! Here’s one of many ways to prepare it.

Atole de Cacahuate (Peanut Atole)

½ cup natural smooth peanut butter

1 cup milk

½ cup masa harina

3¼ cups water, plus more as needed

3 Tbsp. brown sugar/grated piloncillo

Salt

Using a blender, combine peanut butter and milk; blend until thoroughly combined. In large saucepan, add masa; set over medium heat. Immediately add water in a slow, thin stream while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer; whisk in peanut-milk, brown sugar and generous pinch of salt.

Return to simmer; lower heat to low, then simmer for 3 minutes, whisking constantly. Thin with additional water as needed to create a thick yet drinkable beverage. Add more sugar or salt if desired. Froth with a whisk or molinillo. Serve hot. -Mexico News Daily.

Mexico in a snit after ex-prime minister of Spain ridicules AMLO over conquest apology

Without the conquest, ‘you wouldn’t be here,’ José María Aznar said, mocking the president

 

by the El Reportero‘ wire services

 

The ruling Morena party has hit back at a former Spanish prime minister after he mocked President López Obrador for seeking an apology from the the king of Spain and Pope Francis for the conquest of Mexico.

Speaking at this week’s national convention of the People’s Party (PP), a conservative political party in Spain, José María Aznar ridiculed López Obrador for requesting the apology in 2019, pointing out that if the conquest hadn’t occurred the Mexican president would never have been born.

“What’s your name? Andrés Manuel López Obrador. Andrés from the Aztecs? Manuel from the Mayans? López! – is it a mix of Aztecs and Mayans? And Obrador – from [the Spanish city of] Santander,” gibed the former prime minister, who held office for the PP between 1996 and 2004.

“Man, if these things hadn’t happened you wouldn’t be here,” Aznar quipped. “Nor could you be called what you’re called, you couldn’t have been baptized, the evangelization of America couldn’t have occurred.”

Aznar’s belief that there is no need for Spain to apologize for events that occurred 500 years ago is shared by other conservative political figures in Spain, such as PP president Pablo Casado and the president of the Community of Madrid, who this week criticized Pope Francis for acknowledging that “very painful” errors were committed in the past in Mexico.

Isabel Díaz Ayuso, who governs the Spanish capital for the PP, described the promotion and protection of indigenous rights as “the new communism.”

The government of Spain, led by Pedro Sánchez of the Spanish Socialist Workers Party since 2018, “vigorously” rejected the need for an apology when López Obrador revealed in March 2019 that he had sought one from the Spanish king and the pope.

In response to Aznar’s remarks, Morena released a statement portraying the former prime minister as a warmongering denialist. (His government was a strong supporter of the Iraq War.)

Morena “categorically condemns” Aznar’s declarations, the party said, noting they were made at an event organized by the PP, a “political force linked to Francoism.”

The party founded by López Obrador said the former prime minister had openly offended “the history of our country and the dignity and memory of the indigenous people of Mexico and the world.”

End-of-the-year parties and pandemic: Are they having an impact on the mental health of Latinos?

submitted by Covered California

Departamento de Comunicaciones en Español

 

  • Anxiety and feelings of fear are some of the emotions that can be heightened during New Year’s Eve celebrations.
  • Many Latinos are already experiencing depression and other mental health problems due to the pandemic.
  • Experts give us recommendations to improve the mental health of Latinos.
  • If you need medical care, this is the time to enroll in a health plan through Covered California.

The end of the year parties, in addition to being characterized by tamales, posadas and music, can be described as a time of depression and anxiety for thousands. One of the communities most affected by COVID-19, Latinos, present pictures of sadness and feelings of stress, since mental health has deteriorated during the pandemic.

Californians like many around the world have had drastic changes in their lives since the pandemic began 20 months ago affecting the mind and body. Latinos have experienced stress, anxiety, depression, fear symptoms, not being able to sleep, perhaps due to the loss of a family member or loved one due to the virus, or due to a job loss.

Dr. Sandra Pisano, Director of Mental Health at ALTAMED in Los Angeles, says that, “the reactions we have are normal, but we also have the ability to improve our situation and set realistic goals to improve our lives. For this reason, I urge that whoever needs a counselor or psychologist, consult him without any penalty, we all need help.”

Experts recommend that when a loved one or friend begins with depression or anxiety, it is important to have the support of a psychologist or a therapist to see if he will not need medicine. The psychologist can support you with techniques to help you manage the situation. However, if these techniques are not enough, it is recommended that, apart from counseling, consult a psychiatrist to obtain the appropriate medical treatment for that person.

For this reason, Covered California spokesperson Patricia Izquierdo states that it is important to have health insurance, “If you enroll in a health plan, we have more than 32,000 mental health providers in individual Covered California networks. Which means that you will have access to the care you need if you are experiencing depression or anxiety.”

The registration process takes a few minutes and you need to have the answer to five questions. What is your immigration status? Your zip code? Your age? How many dependents do you declare on your taxes? and family income. Then a certified Covered California agent can tell the person what plans are in their area, how much they would pay each month, and if they qualify for financial assistance.

There are many services available to people with health coverage. According to Dr. Pisano, when a person has private health insurance, they can talk to their health plan and receive help from a counselor or a psychiatrist, depending on the case. “All services are available in Spanish.”

Unfortunately, during the holiday season, many suffer from depression and need help. For Dr. Sandra, “when a person is isolated for a long time that can cause the person to increase symptoms of depression, feel sad, feel lonely, so it is important to maintain a routine of self-care and self-compassion. That is, to stay in contact with loved ones and family virtually and also, to practice activities that make the person and the family happy. Permanent communication between couples and with their children is of the utmost importance.”

But if a family member is drinking a lot of alcohol and having thoughts of suicide, or is depressed or violent, they should be listened to, nonjudgmental, and seek help with health insurance resources. “With the family we must take these situations seriously, you never know when a loved one decides to do something that can be tragic, often under the influence of drugs. Sometimes they are very impulsive and can hurt themselves or other people. That is why it is better to seek professional help”.

For Patricia Izquierdo, “the best thing is to contact us and register before Dec. 31 to be able to take the care that is needed. In addition, if you do not have health insurance by 2022, you will have to pay a penalty of $800 per person, $400 per child and on average for a family of four, $ 2400. We don’t want anyone to have to go through the stress of paying a fine, it is better to enroll in a health plan. ”

For additional information you can contact Monday through Friday from 8a.m. to 5 p.m. at 1-800-863-1706.

Crime could become hot issue in 2022

by Dan Walters

Periodically, California experiences an uptick in crime — or at least an increase in public consciousness and concern about crime — and it becomes a political issue.

During the 1970s, 1980s and into the 1990s, as crime rates and public fears were peaking, Republicans made big election gains by accusing Democratic rivals of being soft on crime.

Republicans George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson rode the issue into the governorship, Republicans made substantial gains in the Legislature and it contributed greatly to three liberal Supreme Court justices being ousted by voters. The era also saw a spate of lock-‘em-up sentencing laws, such as “three strikes and you’re out,” that packed the prisons with tens of thousands of additional felons.

By and by, as crime rates declined and the state’s politics drifted leftward, the issue reversed itself. Over the last decade a series of legislative acts and ballot measures has softened punishments and reduced the prison population by a third, with former Gov. Jerry Brown leading the “criminal justice reform” movement.

The current governor, Gavin Newsom, has largely continued Brown’s policies, unilaterally suspending the execution of murderers and proposing to shut down some prisons. It was a bit odd, therefore, to see Newsom publicly denounce lawbreakers last week after a series of smash-and-grab raids on high-end retail outlets in the San Francisco Bay Area and Southern California.

“The level of organized retail theft we are seeing is simply unacceptable,” said Newsom said. “Businesses and customers should feel safe while doing their holiday shopping.”

San Francisco’s district attorney, Chesa Boudin, who faces a recall election on allegations that he has been too soft on crime, announced felony charges against nine people arrested for retail thefts, saying, “These brazen acts will not be tolerated in San Francisco.”

Despite the response to retail thefts, the state’s more serious problem is a disturbing increase in violent crime. The state saw a 31% increase in homicides in 2020 to 2,258, the most since 2007.

As Newsom was decrying the retail thefts last week, Oakland’s police chief, LeRonne Armstrong, was announcing the city’s 100th homicide of the year and saying, “If this is not a call to everyone in the community that this is a crisis, I don’t know what is.” Oakland had seen 66 homicides by this time last year and 52 in 2019.

The responses by Newsom and Boudin imply that they see political peril in concerns about crime. The situation also emboldens critics of the recent actions to soften criminal penalties, such as Proposition 47 in 2014 and Jerry Brown’s Proposition 57 in 2016.

One of them is Assemblyman Jim Cooper, a former police officer who was a sponsor of Proposition 20, an unsuccessful 2020 measure to undo some provisions of the previous initiatives.

“The public needs to know that there is a direct correlation between rampant serial theft and voters being duped by proponents of Proposition 47,” said Cooper, a Democrat from Elk Grove. “We are watching an epidemic of theft caused by Proposition 47 that over promised and under delivered, which has quite literally, turned California into the Wild Wild West.”

So will crime be an issue for the 2022 elections, when Newsom, Boudin and other political figures, such as Attorney General Rob Bonta, face voters?

Sacramento’s district attorney, Anne Marie Schubert, is running against Bonta as a tough-on-crime prosecutor. Boudin’s recall will also be on the ballot, and critics of Los Angeles’ district attorney, George Gascón, are also trying to recall him.

If crime, particularly violent crime, continues its upward swing, it could, indeed, become 2022’s hot button election issue.

Peruvian minimalist film ‘Powerful Chief’ among favorites in the race for the Oscar  

“A visual poem with a social and universal message”… PROIQRA.COM

 

by the El Reportero‘s news services

 

Los Angeles, CA (December 6, 2021) – The Peruvian Ministry of Culture recently announced that Henry Vallejo’s film Powerful Chief (Manco Cápac) is Peru’s official Oscar entry for Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards taking place on March 27, 2022 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. The film has received several accolades and is among the favorites on the shortlist in the race for the Oscar, per Variety Magazine’s 2022 Oscars predictions.

Filmed in Spanish and Quechua in the southern city of Puno, Powerful Chief tells the story of Elisban (Jesus Luque), a young man who migrates from the countryside to the city of Puno in search of work only to find himself homeless and penniless in a city that seemingly ignores his plight with fierce indifference. Elisban survives by taking small, unstable jobs that lead to nowhere but despite the adversities, he perseveres and continues on his journey with his dignity intact.

Powerful Chief, Vallejo’s second feature film, is ten years in the making and much like the protagonist in the film, Vallejo’s story is one of perseverance and the will to win. “It’s a story that anyone can relate to, and the central theme is ultimately perseverance, just as was the case with the filming,” explains Vallejo, who had to overcome several obstacles that delayed production every step of the way. “In the end, the film aims to tell a simple, socially relevant, challenging story that pays tribute to the Incas.”

Vallejo hopes to nab the second Oscar nomination for Peru with his unfiltered, harsh but honest depiction of daily life in Puno, which highlights the challenges that immigrants face even within their own country. The minimalist film has little dialogue and relies on the sites and sounds of the city to provide the backdrop. Vallejo also uses long takes in nearly every scene, with the camera following the protagonist as he moves incessantly about the city. ​

“Powerful Chief is a beautiful and sharp representation, with a genuinely remarkable sociological analysis, of an Andean society struggling to fit into the modern world. Puno is a city full of traditions, international tourists and economic strength, that attracts a young man looking for a way to survive. Henry Vallejo, the director, shows us impartially but implicitly an in-depth view of this society and shows us how the main character refuses to give up but instead seeks to stand out in an honorable way.” stated Conrado Falco, Trade Commission of Peru in Los Angeles / PROMPERÚ.

According to Falco, with the development of PROMPERU´s strategy to promote the country as a film location through “Film in Peru” and with the support of the Ministry of Culture, which promotes the national audiovisual production in national and international markets, Peruvian film production has grown significantly in the past several years. “We are thrilled to know that many stories from our country are yet to be told and that several Hollywood productions are being filmed in Peru and that they can take advantage of the spectacular landscapes from the Pacific coast to the Andes, home to the city of Cusco and the magnificent Machu Picchu and the Amazon jungle which encompasses more than 50% of the Peruvian territory,” said Falco.

Powerful Chief is a Pioneros Producciones production distributed by V&R Films. Rounding out the cast is Mario Velásquez, Yiliana Chong and Gaby Huaywa. The film has received several awards including the 24 Lima Film Festival 2020 (Best Actor Award), the Peruvian Association of Cinematographic Press APRECI 2020 (Best Peruvian Film, Best Actor and Best Screenplay), and has had a successful run at international festivals including the People of Color – International Exchange (New York), Latin America Film Festival Raices (Denmark), Al Este – European Film Festival (Switzerland), Global Migration Film Festival (Switzerland), La Plata Latin American Film Festival (Argentina), and 30 Festival Biarritz Amérique Latine (France).

– Powerful Chief releases in theatres in Peru on December 9, 2021.

5 Reasons to try calamansi juice, a refreshing beverage full of vitamin C

Shared from/by By Rose Lidell

food.com

 

The calamansi (Citrus x microcarpa) or calamondin is a fruit native to Southeast Asia. It can be used as a substitute for limes and can be made into a refreshing juice beverage full of vitamin C.

Calamansi juice also offers many health benefits, such as boosting your immune health and promoting weight loss.

Calamansi, a superfruit chock-full of vitamin C

As a citrus fruit, calamansi has properties similar to lemons and limes. The fruit is very sour and has many culinary uses, from being used as a substitute for limes or turned into delicious calamansi juice.

Calamansi is a small, bushy, evergreen tree or shrub that belongs to the Rutaceae or rue (citrus) family. The plant is believed to have originated from China or the Philippines. It has then spread out through South East Asia, India, Hawaii, West Indies, Central and North America, where it is called “acid orange” since the fruit resembles a small orange.

Calamansi is said to be a natural hybrid between a sour, loose-skinned mandarin (Citrus reticulata var. Austera) and a kumquat (Fortunella margarita). The “x” in calamansi’s scientific name indicates that the hybrid is between plants of different genera (bi-generic hybrid).

The amazing health benefits of vitamin C-rich calamansi juice

Did you know that drinking calamansi juice can provide you with a number of amazing health benefits? Below are five reasons to drink more calamansi juice.

It can help boost your immune system

Calamansi is full of minerals and vitamins, particularly vitamin C that helps boost your immunity. The vitamin helps give you immunity against viral and bacterial infections.

Consume calamansi juice regularly to strengthen your immune health and prevent colds and flu.

It boosts collagen production

Aside from improving your immune health, the vitamin C in calamansi juice helps promote skin health by boosting collagen production.

Considered a natural beauty tonic, you can apply freshly squeezed calamansi juice topically to even out your skin tone. Used topically, calamansi juice will also help rejuvenate your skin and promote wound healing.

It prevents oral problems

If you’re looking for a natural alternative to mouthwash, try gargling with calamansi juice.

Because the superfruit is full of vitamin C, using calamansi as a mouthwash will help prevent bleeding gums, gingivitis, tooth decay and loosening of teeth. Gargling with calamansi juice can also help get rid of stains and plaque.

It promotes kidney health and helps regulate bowel movements

Drinking calamansi juice regularly can help keep your kidneys healthy by reducing foul urine odor and lightening its color. The juice will also help strengthen the functioning of your liver, kidneys and gallbladder, which then helps eliminate excess toxins in the body.

The juice can also help detoxify your colon, improve bowel movement and relieve constipation.

It can help promote healthy weight loss

If you’re struggling to lose weight, try drinking more calamansi juice before all your meals.

Calamansi juice is also a low-calorie drink, making it a healthier alternative to soda or other sweetened beverages. Additionally, data suggests that calamansi juice can help eliminate stored fats and lower cholesterol in the body.

Considerations before drinking calamansi juice

While calamansi juice is a healthy beverage, there are some people who should avoid it.

If you are pregnant, do not consume calamansi juice in excess during pregnancy. Citrus fruits like lemon and calamansi may trigger heartburn during pregnancy.

Additionally, citrus juices can cause indigestion, diarrhea, or stomach cramps if consumed in excess.

If you experience any of the above symptoms while drinking calamansi juice, consult a physician.

Calamansi tea with ginger and honey

If you prefer a soothing cup of tea, try this recipe for calamansi tea with ginger and honey.

Ginger has potent medicinal properties, especially when used to relieve stomachaches and motion sickness. The honey will help relieve a scratchy throat and congestion.

Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 2 cups filtered water
  • Juice from 2 calamansi fruits
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 2-inch piece ginger root, peeled

Preparation:

  1. Slice the ginger into matchsticks or disks.
  2. Add the ginger and water to a small pot, then bring the mixture to a boil. Cover the pot and let the ginger steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Add the calamansi juice and honey to the ginger mixture. Stir until the honey dissolves.
  4. Strain the ginger and serve the tea warm with thin slices of calamansi fruit. Add more honey if desired before serving.
