BOSTON – Four miles from the Cambridge home of Elizabeth Warren, more than 10,000 people turned out in freezing temperatures Saturday for an outdoor Bernie Sanders rally at Boston Common, three days before Massachusetts’ 91 delegates are up for grabs on Super Tuesday.
With former Vice President Joe Biden the favorite to win Saturday’s South Carolina Democratic presidential primary, Sanders looked ahead to Super Tuesday, where he has an opportunity to build a significant overall delegate lead. He was in Springfield, Massachusetts, Friday night and will be in Virginia on Saturday evening before heading to Los Angeles on Sunday.
“As some of you may know, the establishment is getting very nervous about our campaign,” said Sanders, an independent U.S. senator from Vermont, taking the stage after musician Béla Fleck warmed up the crowd with the banjo. “And tonight, they’re going to turn on the TV and they’re going to find that 10,000 people came out to the Boston Common, and they’re going to become even more nervous.”
The Sanders campaign later said more than 13,000 people attended.
In Massachusetts, Sanders is going for a knockout punch against Warren, a U.S. senator from the state, and delegates that once seemed improbable given her home-state advantage. But Sanders, the national Democratic frontrunner, has surged into first place in recent Massachusetts polls, topping Warren 25% to 17% in a survey released Friday by WBUR. They were followed by Pete Buttigeig, 14%; Mike Bloomberg, 13%; and Biden, 9%.
Sanders, a democratic socialist, did not mention Warren during his speech, railing instead on President Donald Trump, the “1 percent” and billionaires in his usual populist pitch. “This is not just a campaign. We are a movement,” Sanders said.
“Here we are a few days before the Massachusetts primary in the most consequential election in the modern history of America. And we are assembled to tell Donald Trump he’s not going to destroy democracy in America.
“I know I am in a city of great learning with great universities,” he added. “And I’ve got to tell you, I don’t have a Ph.D. in mathematics, but this I do know: 99% is a hell of a lot bigger than 1%.”
Sanders’ rise has come at the expense of Warren, who is also running in the party’s progressive lane and shares several policy positions as Sanders.
The Warren campaign this week released a list of 147 Massachusetts elected officials – local, state and federal – supporting her campaign. Backers include Sen. Ed Markey, U.S. Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Jim McGovern, Joe Kennedy III, Katherine Clark and Lori Trahan, as well as state Speaker Robert DeLeo, state Senate President Karen Spilka and Attorney General Maura Healey.
But Warren has not campaigned in Massachusetts in recent days. She will be in Houston on Saturday night.
Among those in the Sanders crowd, Thomas Simpson, a 29-year-old nonprofit worker from Allston, Massachusetts, said he originally supported Warren but switched and voted for Sanders during the early-voting period after her struggles in Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.
“Just the trends in the polls seemed to indicate that it’s a race between Bernie, Bloomberg and maybe Biden as well,” Simpson said, describing himself as “much more aligned with Bernie’s policies” than the others.
“In general, I don’t necessarily gravitate toward Bernie’s outright advocacy of socialism,” he said, applauding Warren’s support of progressive taxation. “I’m not as far left as Bernie’s politics, but I think that we definitely need to nominate somebody who’s going to offer a clear choice to Donald Trump and his policies.”
Simpson said Bloomberg would be a “disaster” and that he’s concerned with the possibility of a brokered convention at the Democratic National Convention if Sanders doesn’t reach a majority of delegates.
“I would hope the party and the superdelegates would do the right thing at that point and realize there’s a movement going on in the Democratic Party. There’s a movement toward progressive positions,” Simpson said.
Brian Willis, 56, a union stage handle from Scituate, Massachusetts, said he voted for Warren for Senate in both 2012 and 2018 but is backing Sanders for president. He proposed that Warren serve as Sanders’ vice president if he’s elected.
“I think they’d make a great team, but I’ve been a Bernie supporter for a while and I think that she has less electability, in my opinion,” Willis said. “If Bernie wasn’t in the race, she’d be my top choice.”
Willis touted Sanders’ “years and years of fighting for the underdog.”
“He’s stood up for what was right. And so has Elizabeth Warren,” he said, but added: “I believe the Democratic establishment stole his opportunity last cycle.”
Massachusetts state Rep. Mike Connolly, D-Cambridge, was among a handful of Democrats to speak before Sanders.
“This Common has hosted revolutionaries from John Adams to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” Connolly said. “So, it’s very fitting that we are in here today in support of Sen. Sanders, for Bernie is a revolutionary and a true champion for public good.”
La última paradoja es la de su desempeño en la primaria del partido republicano en el estado de Nevada, llevada a cabo este martes, en la que ganó holgadamente.
Trump ha dado prioridad en su campaña a estigmatizar a los inmigrantes indocumentados mexicanos, calificándolos de criminales y violadores y su promesa original de campaña es edificar una muralla fronteriza, pagada por los mexicanos.
Y muchos suponían que esta actitud iba a sepultar cualquier aspiración que tuviera entre el electorado hispano.
Pero una encuesta de boca de urna revelada a los medios el martes estimó que Trump ganó también entre los votantes republicanos latinos del estado. Esto pese a enfrentarse a dos candidatos republicanos latinos, Ted Cruz y Marco Rubio.
34.451
personas votaron por Trump en los caucus, lo que equivale a:
1% de los habitantes del estado
0,001% de la población de EE.UU.
Trump casi dobló a Rubio en las preferencias de los latinos republicanos de Nevada, con 45% contra 28% del cubano estadounidense. Cruz aparecía más atrás aún con 18%.
“¿Saben de lo que estoy realmente contento? Estoy de número 1 con los hispanos“, dijo el magnate y aspirante a la presidencia poco después de conocer los resultados.
Lo que lleva a que muchos analistas colectivamente se rasquen la cabeza y se pregunten: ¿por qué casi uno de cada dos republicanos hispanos en Nevada parece haberse inclinado por un candidato que ha sido acusado de agitar la xenofobia contra ese grupo étnico en particular?
Y más importante aún, ¿es indicativo esto de lo que puede ocurrir en las elecciones generales si Trump llega a obtener la nominación del partido republicano?
Haber obtenido parte sustancial del voto latino republicano de Nevada en las circunstancias de esta campaña y después de sus agresivas declaraciones contra los mexicanos es un logro electoral indiscutible para Trump. Pero hay que hacer algunas salvedades que matizan el resultado.

“La encuesta no fue sobre todos los latinos de Nevada, sino con latinos que se identifican como republicanos”, dice a BBC Mundo Mark Hugo Lopez, director de investigación hispana en el Pew Research Center, un centro de investigación en tendencias de opinión en Estados Unidos. “En Nevada, la mayoría de los hispanos son demócratas”, aclara Mark Hugo Lopez.
Los hispanos republicanos de Nevada son un grupo muy pequeño. Constituyen apenas el 8% de los participantes en las primarias republicanas de ese estado. En contraste, en las primarias del partido demócrata que tuvieron lugar el sábado pasado, casi 20% del electorado era hispano.
Es una situación que se repite en el resto del país, donde la mayoría de los votantes hispanos son demócratas, no republicanos. En la última elección parlamentaria de 2014, por ejemplo, 62% de los latinos votaron demócrata, frente a 36% por los republicanos.
Por lo que en una elección general, si el candidato republicano fuera Trump, se esperaría que la mayoría de los hispanos en el país votaría contra él por el solo hecho de ser simpatizantes del partido contrario, el demócrata. Eso sin entrar a considerar siquiera sus opiniones sobre la inmigración.
También hay cuestiones metodológicas que despiertan dudas en los resultados divulgados el martes.
El principal interrogante se origina en el tamaño tan pequeño de la muestra de votantes latinos a partir del cual se están sacando conclusiones.
2.700
(cifra estimada)
6.000 hispanos en los caucus republicanos (8% del total)
45% votaron por Trump
Cerca de 75.000 republicanos participaron en las primarias del martes en Nevada, de los cuales aproximadamente 8%, unos 6.000, son latinos.
De ellos, el 45%, o sea cerca de 2.700 personas, son hispanos que votaron por Trump en Nevada, según la encuesta que han citado los medios.
Y, teniendo en cuenta que el electorado hispano en todo el país puede llegar a 27 millones de personas, sacar conclusiones para esa comunidad a partir de una muestra tan pequeña, de menos de 3.000, personas puede ser exagerado.
Más aún, indican expertos, el sondeo de boca de urna citado por Trump para reclamar su triunfo sobre los hispanos no consultó a todos los votantes latinos en ese estado, sino a una muestra que pudo abarcar a apenas 130 personas hispanas, según lo ha dicho el profesor David Lamore, experto en estudios electorales de la Universidad de Nevada, en el sitio web Latino Decisions, lo que da un margen de error importante en los resultados de la encuesta.
Mientras que Ali Valenzuela, profesor de la Universidad de Princeton, le señala a BBC Mundo otro posible problema metodológico. “Las encuestas a boca de urna casi nunca hacen preguntas en español, lo que crea sesgos en los resultados específicamente para los latinos”, señala el experto.
Es decir, el triunfo de Trump entre los latinos republicanos puede no haber sido tan abultado en la realidad.
Y al sumar los votos de los latinos que votaron en la primaria demócrata con los que votaron en la republicana, la imagen que se obtiene de la popularidad de Trump es distinta.
“Hubo 15,960 votos latinos por democrátas en Nevada. De un total de 18.608 votos latinos en Nevada, aproximadamente 14% apoyaron a Trump”, le dice Valenzuela a BBC Mundo.
Un caso comprobado
En cualquier caso, e independiente de las cuestiones técnicas, los resultados de Nevada indican que un hispano simpatizante de Trump no es un imposible lógico.
Y los avances de Trump entre los latinos no son un fenómeno que se limite a Nevada.

La campaña de Trump ha roto muchos tabúes de la cultura política estadounidense.
“Hay otras encuestas anteriores que indican que un número entre 15% y 20% de hispanos adultos en el país está de acuerdo con Donald Trump o tiene una opinión favorable de él”, indica Mark Hugo Lopez, del Centro Pew, a BBC Mundo.
En una manifestación a favor de Donald Trump en octubre pasado en Miami en la que BBC Mundo estuvo presente, cientos de hispanos, muchos de ellos cubano-estadounidenses, abarrotaron un lujoso hotel de propiedad del candidato para expresar su devoción a esta controversial causa política.
Como Isabel Millas, que nació en Cuba y vive en Miami desde 1961. En octubre pasado le decía a BBC Mundo que le daba toda la razón a Donald Trump en su posición sobre la inmigración. “Aquí no puede entrar gente indocumentada porque uno no sabe quiénes son”, aseguraba.
Al tiempo que otro miembro hispanoparlante del público exclamaba: “Este país se ha vuelto un desastre, entra todo el que quiere por la frontera”. Y aseguraba que Trump ha dicho “lo que el pueblo quiere oír”.
Castillos de naipes
La verdad es que muchos de los análisis tradicionales sobre política estadounidense se han derrumbado como castillos de naipes al enfrentarse al huracán de la candidatura de Trump.
Los latinos no son los únicos insultados por el polémico potentado que le han entregado resultados electorales distintos a lo esperado.
Apenas la semana pasada, los observadores asumían que la enorme población de militares retirados que habita en el estado de Carolina del Sur le iba a cobrar a Trump en las primarias de ese estado un comentario ofensivo anterior.

Trump encabeza las encuestas nacionales entre los republicanos.
El candidato había difundido una declaración casi sacrílega en la cultura política estadounidense al hablar mal de un ex prisionero de guerra, el excandidato presidencial John McCain, quien pasó años en una carcel vietnamita después de haber sido derribado su avión y que es visto como un héroe en su país.
Pero Trump lo criticó por haberse dejado alcanzar por el fuego enemigo.
Y, sin embargo, el multimillonario político ganó holgadamente en Carolina del Sur, con muchos exmilitares entre sus más expresivos admiradores.
Al final, tanto entre los latinos, como entre el resto del público estadounidense, hay personas que se han dejado seducir por el embrujo de un fenómeno de masas indiscutible que llena estadios, satura redes sociales y, efectivamente, gana elecciones.
Y sin duda, los democratas que contaban con el apoyo incondicional de las minorías étnicas como una muralla contra el avance de Trump deben estar repasando muy bien sus estrategias en una elección que cada vez ofrece más sorpresas.
The FBI in Denver says the arrest warrant was issued by the U.S. District court of Wyoming. Court documents obtained by WFLA show Laundrie was indicted for the “use of unauthorized access devices” following Petito’s death. According to the documents, Laundrie used a Capital One bank debit card and a pin for two Capital One bank accounts “knowingly and with intent to defraud” between Aug. 30 and Sept. 1 in Wyoming and elsewhere. Using the accounts, he bought items worth more than a thousand dollars, authorities say.
The warrant issued Thursday comes after almost a full week of police searching for Laundrie where his family says he was last seen: the Carlton Reserve in Sarasota County. According to police, Laundrie’s family says he drove his Ford Mustang there more than a week ago and has not been seen since.
Several law enforcement agencies headed back to the nature preserve on Friday morning to pick up the search again.
“The warrant doesn’t change anything for us,” North Port Police Commander Joe Fussell, the leader of the search, said. “We’re working as hard to find him now as we did on day one… these guys, their drive to find him on day one is the same as today, regardless of the warrant.”
As of 2 p.m. ET, nothing has been found, according to North Port Public Information Officer Josh Taylor. But he and the North Port Police Department made clear Friday they don’t see the search at Carlton as a waste of time, despite social media comments.
“What I would say to the public is there are many, many more resources we are deploying in here other than the search efforts that we’re seeing here today,” Fussell explained. “We have investigative means, we have other technology, agencies that are issuing search warrants for data, whether it be social media or other investigative means and then we do the search.”
“We are not wasting our time out here,” he added. “We are doing our due diligence to find Brian in an area that intelligence had led us that he could possibly be in. It’s on us to to make sure that we search this area as best as we can, as massive as it is, with the resources that we have to try and find Brian.”
According to WFLA photojournalist Paul Lamison, a temporary flight restriction – also known as a TFR – was raised up to 1,200 feet over the search as of Friday morning. It was previously about 400 feet.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, the parents of Brian Laundrie were seen leaving their home. Their attorney, Steve Bertolino, tells 8 On Your Side the Laundrie’s met with him before returning to their house.
Police say the Laundrie family retained a lawyer soon after Gabby Petito was reported missing by her family on Sept. 11. Petito mysteriously disappeared during a cross-country road trip she was on with Laundrie, who police say returned home to North Port alone on Sept. 1.
Virginia Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam’s aides want him to read his way out of trouble.
If you can believe it, the aides’ strategy for helping him survive his “blackface scandal” involves assigned reading, including Alex Haley’s book Roots and an essay written by the Atlantic’s Ta-Nehisi Coates, according to BuzzFeed News.
It’s the whitest solution to a blackface problem that only the whitest of whites could have devised.
Northam stands credibly accused of having once attended a party in the mid-1980s dressed either in blackface or Ku Klux Klan regalia, according to an old yearbook uncovered first by the right-wing news site Big League Politics.
At first the governor apologized for the yearbook photo. Then he backtracked, after his apology failed to kill the controversy, by denying any involvement in the photo. Northam then held a press conference wherein he maintained he couldn’t possibly be the man in blackface because he “vividly” remembers looking different the one time he dressed in blackface to impersonate Michael Jackson for a dance competition.
So his defense for wearing blackface was that it was a different sort of blackface.
This all really happened, even the part where Northam nearly “moonwalked” for reporters.
Suffice it to say, the governor has had a rough go of it, looking like both a supremely incompetent fool and a baby boomer racist. He has refused his own party’s many calls for his resignation, and he has even floated the idea of becoming an independent just so he can stay in office. But if you thought this couldn’t get any more ridiculous, the governor’s staff is here to disabuse you of that notion. Via BuzzFeed News:
His office has begun to explore how it might recalibrate Northam’s legislative agenda to focus closely on race and equity … The move would mark a brazen attempt to hang onto his office by shifting the conversation away from Northam’s admission of having once worn blackface and his denials that he is featured in the racist yearbook photo, either as the person in blackface or the person in a Klan outfit. Northam’s policy team is looking at crafting a set of proposals based on the premise that the governor’s mistakes have rendered him keenly aware of inequity and the lack of justice faced by black Virginians 400 years after the first African people arrived in the Commonwealth, at Point Comfort, in 1619.
The centerpiece proposal is not complete in its scope or in terms of what it will seek to accomplish. But there are many possibilities being considered for a broad platform: increasing resources for affordable housing; setting new, more equitable standards in small business procurement; implementing programs that expand economic opportunity for entrepreneurs; pumping money into public services like education and transportation.
Then comes the really embarrassing detail [emphasis added]:
This is like something lifted directly from a “South Park” episode. Northam should just pay an indulgence to Jesse Jackson and get it over with already. This also seems like the lazy man’s way of familiarizing oneself with the black community. (“Isn’t there a book I can just read?”)
The amazing thing is: There’s no way that we’ve hit rock bottom with what’s happening now in Virginia. It surely will get worse or weirder from here.
Secuestran avión en Chipre El secuestro en Chipre de un avión de EgyptAir hizo hoy revivir la angustia vivida la semana pasada en el aeropuerto belga de Zaventem, aunque afortunadamente en esta ocasión todo se resolvió sin derramamiento de sangre y sin indicios de que fuera un acto terrorista sino la obra de un perturbado. Tan solo veinte minutos después de despegar de Alejandría rumbo a El Cairo, Seif Aldin Mustafá, un egipcio separado de una chipriota, obligó al comandante, Omar Yamal, a desviar el Airbus A320 con 55 pasajeros a bordo y 7 tripulantes, hacia el aeropuerto de Lárnaca en Chipre.
Cierran de nuevo el Capitolio por amenaza de bomba Dos paquetes encontrados hoy en el Capitolio en Washington, sede del Legislativo de EUA, obligaron a la Policía a desalojar a un grupo de turistas y a cortar el tráfico, informó a Efe un portavoz de las fuerzas de seguridad del Congreso. El incidente se produjo después de que este lunes un hombre armado entrara en el Centro de Visitantes del Congreso, sacara una pistola y sembrara el caos al apuntar a uno de los agentes que se encontraban dirigiendo a los visitantes mientras estos pasaban por los escáneres y los detectores de metales.
Arrestan al jefe de campaña de Trump por agredir a periodista El director de campaña del aspirante presidencial republicano Donald Trump, Corey Lewandowski, fue formalmente inculpado este martes por lesiones contra una periodista el pasado 8 de marzo, confirmó la policía de la ciudad de Jupiter (Florida, sureste). Lewandowsky “fue arrestado en la mañana (de este martes) y liberado con una orden de presentarse” ante el tribunal, dijo a la AFP Adam Brown, portavoz de la Policía de Jupiter. Poco antes, una vocero de la campaña de Trump, Hope Hicks, había afirmado que Lewandowsky “no fue arrestado”, y aseguró que es “absolutamente inocente”.
Charlie Hebdo se burla de los atentados en Bruselas La revista satírica francesa “Charlie Hebdo”, atacada por yihadistas en enero de 2015 por sus irreverentes caricaturas de Mahoma, ha preparado esta semana una controvertida y polémica portada en la que se mofa de los atentados de la semana pasada en Bruselas, en los que murieron 35 personas. “¿Papá, dónde estás?”, dice en un bocadillo el conocido músico belga Stromae sobre un fondo con la bandera belga, rodeado de piernas y brazos mutilados que contestan: “Aquí”, “También aquí”, “Y aquí”.
Trasladan 299 líderes de pandillas salvadoreñas a penal de máxima seguridad Un total de 299 líderes de pandillas fueron trasladados este martes desde varios penales del país a un centro de máxima seguridad en Quezaltepeque, 20 km al noroeste de San Salvador, a fin de cortarles comunicación con sus agrupaciones en el exterior, informó una fuente oficial. “El traslado de 299 privados de libertad al penal de Quezaltepeque es una de las primeras medidas adoptadas y con ello logramos el desmontaje de estructuras delictivas que ordenaban ilícitos desde los penales”, aseguró el ministro de Justicia y Seguridad, Mauricio Ramírez.
Japón aguarda hoy con incertidumbre noticias sobre el periodista nipón secuestrado en Siria por el grupo Estado Islámico (EI) sin que de momento se haya informado de nuevos avances sobre su liberación, después de que ayer expirara el ultimátum dado por el grupo yihadista. Mientras, en Jordania, el ejército indicó que esperaba pruebas que demuestren que el piloto capturado se encuentra con vida.
Los extremistas capturaron a Goto, un periodista independiente, probablemente a finales de octubre, y al piloto Maaz al Kassasbeh, el 24 de diciembre, después de que su F-16 se estrellara en una zona de Siria donde llevaba a cabo un ataque contra el EI.
Sin embargo Ammán exige una prueba de vida y la puesta en libertad de Al Kassasbeh, antes de liberar a la prisionera Sajida al Rishawi. Según los expertos, la combatiente iraquí es importante para el EI por sus vínculos con Al Qaeda en Irak, pero también porque el grupo yihadista pretende que los demás actores lo vean como a un Estado.
Por otro lado, en Japón, el ministro portavoz del Gobierno nipón, Yoshihide Suga, insistió en rueda de prensa en que los funcionarios que están trabajando en el caso“están haciendo todo lo que pueden, paso por paso, para liberar al periodista Kenji Goto”.
El propio Suga expresó hoy la frustración del Ejecutivo nipón, que no ha recibido nuevas noticias del EI, y lamentó que el grupo radical forzara en la víspera a la mujer de Goto a implorar públicamente por su vida bajo amenaza de asesinarlo.
El padre del piloto jordano tambien hizo ayer un llamamiento al EI para que libere a su hijo.
La semana pasada, coincidiendo con el viaje del primer ministro nipón, Shinzo Abe, a Oriente Próximo, el EI envió un primer vídeo en el que le exigió que pagara 200 millones de dólares a cambio de no asesinar a Goto, capturado en octubre, y a otro ciudadano nipón, Haruna Yukawa, que fue ejecutado el pasado sábado.
The subpoena marked an escalation of the investigation, which the prosecutors opened late last year amid a flurry of scrutiny of the inaugural committee. The United States attorney’s office in Brooklyn is separately investigating whether foreigners illegally funneled donations to Mr. Trump’s inaugural committee using so-called straw donors to disguise their donations. Federal law prohibits foreign contributions to inaugural committees.
As part of their inquiry, prosecutors in Manhattan have pursued the possibility that the inaugural committee made false statements to the Federal Election Commission, according to people familiar with the matter. It can be a crime to knowingly make false or fraudulent statements to a federal agency.
The inaugural committee disclosed a list of its donors to the F.E.C., and the prosecutors are examining whether that list is complete and accurate, the person said. If a donor was omitted from the report, prosecutors could take an interest in that as well.
The inaugural committee was chaired by Thomas J. Barrack, a close friend of the president. No one who worked for the committee, or donated to it, has been accused of wrongdoing, and a subpoena is an initial step in the inquiry.
The investigation into the inaugural committee grew out of the investigation into Michael D. Cohen, Mr. Trump’s former personal lawyer and fixer. Mr. Cohen is due to begin a prison sentence next month after pleading guilty last year to a range of crimes, including one campaign finance-related charge, in which he implicated the president.
Partamos de una de esas cifras difíciles de visualizar por su magnitud: en un año se enviaron 100 mil millones de emails al día. Y eso es sin contar los emails personales.
El año fue 2013 y la cifra la proviene del más reciente informe de la firma de investigación The Radicati Group, que además anticipa que para 2017 ese número llegará a los 132.000 millones de emails enviados y recibidos en un día.
La evidencia es una prueba del éxito de esta herramienta de comunicación, así que puede sorprender que en Sillicon Valley se esté hablando de un futuro sin email.
No sólo eso, grandes líderes en empresas en los centros tecnológicos del mundo ya se han deshecho de sus cuentas de correo electrónico.
¿CUÁL ES EL PROBLEMA?
El mismo Radicati Group explica en otro documento que mientras que el email redujo el costo de enviar mensajes, “el costo acumulativo de leer esos mensajes es muy alto. Puede tomar varios minutos abrirlos, leerlos, procesarlos y responder a cada uno, y ese proceso, repetido miles de veces, puede consumir un día laboral”.
Para tener una idea más exacta, se puede recurrir al estudio de 2011 de Tom Jackson, de la Universidad de Loughborough (Inglaterra) el cual arrojó que los correos electrónicos le estaban costando a las compañías más de US$15.000 por empleado al año.
Quizás aún más interesante es que encontró que toma un promedio de 64 segundos volver a concentrarse tras ser interrumpido al recibir un email.
Incluso borrarlos quita tiempo, y si se toma en cuenta que toma un promedio de 76 segundos leer y entender cada mensaje, empieza a sonar atractivo buscar una alternativa.
PERO, ¿QUÉ HACER?
Como suele suceder, el mismo mundo que creó los correos electrónicos, ahora ofrece unas soluciones en la forma de sistemas que no sólo tienen nombres sino también lemas inspiradores, como Asana; “trabajo en grupo sin email”, o Slack: “esté menos ocupado”.
Básicamente, el correo electrónico se percibe como algo más formal y la gente pasa más tiempo escribiendo esos mensajes porque se asumen como comunicaciones oficiales.
Plataformas como Slack, Asana, Yammer y demás son más informales pues permiten enviar mensajes cortos y rápidos dentro de distintos grupos, abiertos a toda una empresa o sólo entre un equipo, lo que las hace más informales.
Pero hay otras opciones un poco más audaces, como explicó Scott Berkun, autor de “El año sin pantalones”, en el artículo “¿Hay vida después del email? Sí, y es extraordinaria”.
A SU DISPOSICIÓN
Para escribir su libro, Berkun pasó un año en WordPress, uno de los sitios web más populares del mundo, y uno de sus mayores retos fue aprender a trabajar sin email.
La fórmula ganadora de WordPress es utilizar otra herramienta: los blogs, en los que cada equipo publica toda la información que generalmente se manda por email.
La mayoría de las discusiones tiene lugar en el espacio para comentarios, salas de chat o Skype.
La gran ventaja es que el lector decide qué leer: si le interesa el proyecto, sigue el blog. Además, depende del interesado cuándo leerlo, de acuerdo a su necesidad.
Además, como los blogs son de fácil acceso, las ideas relevantes no quedan enterradas bajo una avalancha de emails inútiles.
Pero si le parece que incluso esa opción le quita demasiado tiempo, está la alternativa sugerida por ese simpático cartel que adorna varios cafés en el mundo hispanoparlante y que circula por el mundo virtual: “No tenemos WiFi, hablen entre ustedes”.
President Donald Trumptraveled to Normandy on Thursday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day and pay tribute to American and allied forces who led the invasion of Nazi-occupied France that was the turning point in World War II.
“You are among the very greatest Americans who will ever live. You are the pride of our nation. You are the glory of our republic. And we thank you from the bottom of our hearts,” the president said, addressing the over 60 veterans in attendance who fought in the consequential battle.

“On behalf of France, I bow down before their bravery, I bow down before their immense sacrifice of those killed and those missing, who died as heroes in Normandy between June and August 1944 and who for many were to rest there for eternity,” said Macron, turning to the remaining veterans and adding: “On behalf of my country, I just want to say, thank you.”

When Macron concluded his remarks, Trump embraced the French president on stage with an extended handshake and hug.
Macron then awarded France’s highest award for military merit, the Legion of Honour, to several American veterans onstage.
Trump also extended appreciation on behalf of the American people for the French people’s role as caretakers of the American cemetery, with each grave having been adopted by a French family.
“They come from all over France to look over our boys,” Trump said. “Today, America embraces the French people and thanks you for honoring our beloved dead. Thank you.”

Following the ceremony, there was a 21-gun salute from the beach as the two couples walked down to an overlook of Omaha Beach. They observed a moment of silence looking out over the water before the taps was played, and then a show of French and American military jets flew overhead — with the final set of jets leaving red, white and blue streaks in the sky.

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visit graves after a French-U.S. ceremony in Normandy, northwestern France, on June 6, 2019, as part of D-Day commemorations.
Trump is just the latest in a long string of U.S. presidents to commemorate the anniversary of the battle Normandy — a tradition that began with Ronald Reagan on the 40th anniversary.
“These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs. These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes who helped end a war,” Reagan said in 1984.
President Jimmy Carter visited before Reagan, in 1978, but his visit did not coincide with the anniversary. President Bill Clinton traveled to Normandy for the 50th anniversary, President George W. Bush on the 60th, and President Barack Obama on the 70th.

Mario Soares, the prime minister who helped consolidate Portugal’s transition to democracy and became the first freely elected premier after a revolution ended almost five decades of dictatorship, has died. He was 92.
Soares died Saturday, said Jose Barata, a spokesman for the Red Cross Hospital in Lisbon. Portugal’s former prime minister and president entered the hospital on Dec. 13, 2016, according to Barata.
“The loss of Soares is the loss of someone who is irreplaceable in our recent history, we owe him a lot,” Prime Minister Antonio Costa said from New Delhi, where he is on a state visit. The government declared three days of mourning starting Monday, with a state funeral planned, Costa said in comments broadcast by television station SIC Noticias.
Soares, who was arrested a dozen times in his fight against Antonio de Oliveira Salazar’s dictatorship, returned from exile in Paris after the 1974 Carnation Revolution. That year, he was appointed foreign minister in a provisional government and was in charge of negotiating the independence of Portugal’s overseas colonies. A co-founder of the moderate Socialist Party, Soares is also credited with helping counter the Communist Party’s attempt to win more power after the almost bloodless revolution.
“I certainly don’t want to be a Kerensky,” Soares said in a discussion with Henry Kissinger, then U.S. secretary of state, referring to the moderate Russian socialist Alexander Kerensky who had to flee after the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917.
“Neither did Kerensky,” replied Kissinger, who was concerned that the communists would take power, according to an account of the conversation published in 1997 in the Journal of Democracy.
In 1976, Soares’s Socialist Party won the country’s first free elections after the revolution and he became prime minister. In 1983, he was elected premier again and helped negotiate Portugal’s entry into the European Economic Community, a predecessor of the European Union. He served as president from 1986 to 1996.
‘Historical Role’
“Mario Soares challenged all the big proposals and power situations of his time,” Rui Ramos, a Portuguese historian, said. “That was the historical role of this man of letters and lawyer from downtown Lisbon.”
Soares remained an active voice in Portuguese politics after leaving office, often critical of austerity measures imposed by the International Monetary Fund and European Union after Portugal sought a bailout in 2011.
“The troika doesn’t give us anything. It grants loans with very high interest rates,” Soares, who also requested aid from the IMF after becoming prime minister in 1983, said in a an article published on his foundation’s website.
Mario Alberto Nobre Lopes Soares was born Dec. 7, 1924, in Lisbon, the son of Joao Soares and Elisa Nobre Baptista. His father, the founder of a school and a former minister, endured periods of imprisonment and exile under the Salazar dictatorship, according to a New York Times profile in 1983.
Soares obtained a degree in history and philosophy and a law degree at the University of Lisbon before founding the Socialist Party.
While in prison in 1949, he married Maria Barroso, a leading actress, according to the Times profile. She died in 2015. They had a son, Joao Soares, a former minister of culture and Lisbon mayor, and a daughter, Isabel Soares, a psychologist and school director.
The first data available for Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine suggests a third booster dose will be effective against omicron, the variant that is rapidly taking over the world.
The encouraging revelation came hours before former President Donald Trump said he has received a coronavirus booster shot. Trump was appearing on Bill O’Reilly’s “History Tour” at the American Airlines Center in Dallas when the host asked if he was boosted. “Yes,” Trump replied to a smattering of boos.
Public health officials have been urging Americans to get booster shots. Moderna said early Monday that in a lab study, blood from 20 people who received the 50-microgram Moderna booster had 37 times the number of neutralizing antibodies as compared to blood from the same number of people who only received two shots. Moderna had reduced the dose of its booster to half the dose of the original two shots to limit side effects such as fever, muscle aches and fatigue.
A group that received a third shot of the higher, 100-microgram dose saw an 83-fold jump in neutralizing antibodies against omicron. Dr. Eric Topol, founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, said such a big increase isn’t necessary to provide protection.
“I think it’s pretty encouraging,” he said. “We’ll take any positive we can get.”

►The New Year’s Eve party planned for downtown Los Angeles’ Grand Park will not have an in-person audience because of the rising number of coronavirus cases, organizers said. The “NYELA Countdown to 2022” event be streamed, as it was last year.
►Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said that starting Jan. 15, patrons of indoor dining, bars, nightclubs and gyms must show proof of at least one vaccine dose. Proof of full vaccination will be required for adults Feb. 15, and city workers must get vaccinated, she said at a City Hall news conference as protesters shouted “Shame on Wu.”
►Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said he received a positive coronavirus rapid test Monday. “I have been vaccinated and boosted, and I am feeling fine at the moment,” Hogan tweeted. He also urged Marylanders to get vaccinated and/or boosted.
📈Today’s numbers: The U.S. has recorded more than 50.8 million confirmed COVID-19 cases and more than 806,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data. Global totals: More than 274.8 million cases and 5.3 million deaths. More than 203.9 million Americans – 61.4% of the population – are fully vaccinated, according to the CDC.
📘What we’re reading: A study by Oregon researchers finds that people fully vaccinated against COVID-19 who have breakthrough infections end up with what the authors call “super immunity.” They caution the vaccinated should not seek COVID-19 infection, but the “hybrid immunity” offers some solace for those who catch one despite having been vaccinated.
‘Someone’s got to do it’: Vaccines tested in kids under 5 years old
There are no authorized COVID-19 vaccines in the U.S. for children younger than 5 years old. But kids like Dr. Alicia Carrasco’s 1-year-old twins and 3-year-old son Matías are participating in Moderna’s trial and are helping to change that. The twins received their second jab a few weeks ago, and Matías is scheduled to get his next shot in a few weeks. Velocity Clinical Research, a clinical trial site organization, enrolled about 650 children at four locations across the country. A quarter of the children received the placebo and the rest were vaccinated with Moderna’s vaccine. No one knows for certain which they were given, but the internal medicine physician is confident the sudden fever she saw in the twins is a sign they were jabbed with the active vaccine.
“Someone’s got to do it,” she said. “My kids are the most important thing in the world to me but so is anyone else’s kids who have been a part of trials.” Read more here.

New infections up 41% from a month ago
The U.S. is moving toward Christmas in dramatically different shape than it was before Thanksgiving. A month ago, case counts had been rising, to about 90,000 per day on average. For much of December cases appeared to hover around 120,000 but have recently leaped above 130,000 per day, Johns Hopkins data shows. Compared to a month ago, the pace of new cases nationally is up 41%.
Overall, the CDC says about three-quarters of counties have high levels of transmission. But where you live is important. The pace of cases is up 393% in Hawaii, more than tripled in Connecticut and New Jersey, and more than doubled in Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York and Rhode Island. But cases appear to have fallen in at least a third of the states – down 72% in Montana, 61% in Wyoming, 58% in Alaska, 46% in Colorado.

New Zealand man dies from myocarditis linked to Pfizer vaccine
Myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, has been detected in a small number of vaccinated individuals. It is treatable, is not specific to COVID-19 vaccines, and was a common side effect of the smallpox vaccine in the past, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The man died within two weeks of receiving his first dose, and a coroner determined that preliminary information has identified myocarditis as the probable cause of death, New Zealand’s COVID-19 Vaccine Independent Safety Monitoring Board said in a statement.
“With the current available information, the board has considered that the myocarditis was probably due to vaccination in this individual,” the monitoring board’s statement said.
The statement said the benefits of vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine continue to “greatly outweigh” the risk of such rare side effects, adding that the COVID-19 infection can itself be a cause of myocarditis as well as other serious illnesses.
At least 48 people on board Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas ship that ended a seven-day cruise in Miami on Saturday were positive for COVID-19 during the sailing, the cruise line said. Those 48 people who tested positive represented less than 1% of the 6,074 passengers and crew members on board Symphony of the Seas, which left Miami on Dec. 11 and made stops in St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Perfect Day at CocoCay (Royal Caribbean’s private island), spokesperson Lyan Sierra-Caro told USA TODAY.
Connor O’Dell, 29, said a 66-year-old relative reported her symptoms to Royal Caribbean during the cruise. He said neither a doctor nor nurse gave her an in-depth physical exam or asked her about preexisting conditions.
“We all knew the risks of going on the ship,” O’Dell told USA TODAY. “The problem is that we were promised a set of protocols (or) adequate medical staffing and they were never adhered to.”

Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Cory Booker test positive for COVID-19
Senators Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, and Cory Booker, D-New Jersey, and Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colorado, have tested positive for COVID-19 in breakthrough cases with mild symptoms, they announced on Twitter.
“I regularly test for COVID & while I tested negative earlier this week, today I tested positive with a breakthrough case. Thankfully, I am only experiencing mild symptoms & am grateful for the protection provided against serious illness that comes from being vaccinated & boosted,” Warren wrote.
Booker tweeted: “I learned today that I tested positive for COVID-19 after first feeling symptoms on Saturday. My symptoms are relatively mild. I’m beyond grateful to have received two doses of vaccine and, more recently, a booster – I’m certain that without them I would be doing much worse.”
The senators from Massachusetts and New Jersey have both been vocal proponents of the COVID-19 vaccine in Washington. Warren lost her older brother to the virus in May 2020. The Democrats are just two of several senators who have tested positive for COVID despite being fully vaccinated, including Lindsay Graham, R-SC and John Hickenlooper, D-Colo.
The latest congrespositive tests come amid a rise of COVID-19 cases across the nation and the omicron variant, which Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious diseases expert, said has an “extraordinary capability of spreading.”

“Soreta”, “reverenda hija de puta”, “pelotuda”, “estúpida” y “sos una mierda”. Con esos insultos, Jorge Rial calificó a la periodista de Noticias, Daniela Bianco, autora de la nota titulada “Rial, Majul y Del Moro: guerra de celos en América”, publicada en la edición de esta semana.
El conductor de Intrusos, además de haberla amenazado por medio de un mensaje de audio y de extender sus improperios a todos los periodistas de la revista, utilizó los últimos dos minutos de su programa “Ciudad Goti K”, que se emite por Radio La Red, para descargar su injustificada ira.
Senior correspondent Laura Ingle speaks with Gabby Petito’s family regarding the ongoing manhunt for Brian Laundrie.
Brian Laundrie has been on the run for several weeks since his fiancé, Gabby Petito, was declared missing and the Petito family believes he holds the answers to what happened to their daughter.
The Petito and Schmidt families sat down for an exclusive interview with Fox News senior correspondent Laura Ingle to vocalize their frustrations regarding the ongoing manhunt for Laundrie and their hopes to find answers.
“Just turn yourself in,” Petito’s mother Nichole Schmidt said of Laundrie. “It’s just getting more and more frustrating as days go on. I don’t know what’s taking so long.”
Petito’s family wants Laundrie found alive so he can provide the missing answers connecting the death of their 22-year-old daughter. The family believes Laundrie “knows everything,” her mother admitted.
“He’s our missing piece to the puzzle to find out what happened,” Petito’s stepfather Jim Schmidt said. “What happened out there? Until they find him, we won’t know.”
Petito’s stepfather revealed that the couple’s cross-country road trip took form after their plans for a low-key beach wedding in Florida were postponed due to COVID-19.
“They kindof put it on hold,” Jim Schmidt said, with Petito’s mother saying the couple’s main focus was planning their trip.
But when Petito never returned from the trip and their van returned to Florida, Nichole Schmidt said she “instinctively” knew her daughter was gone.
Petito’s father Joe Petito said he assumed Laundrie is still alive and living off the land but he has “no idea” of his whereabouts, or if he’s even in the United States.
While the family waits anxiously for answers, they’ve established the Gabby Petito Foundation in hopes of helping other families of missing children find answers with financial support and public exposure.
“We’re trying to make a difference and trying to make sense of it,” Joe Petito said. “We’re trying to focus on that to make sure there’s some good that comes from this.”

Entre las noticias más leídas del día, fue publicada información en la que se reveló que los periodistas, Carmen Aristegui y Carlos Loret de Mola, fueron sólo dos de los 11 nuevos objetivos descubiertos por Citizen Lab, que fueron espiados por el gobierno de México. El gobierno mexicano posee tecnología que permite infiltrarse en los teléfonos móviles de sus ciudadanos para espiarlos desde el bolsillo en donde se almacenan. El precio de las gasolinas bajó poco, pese a la recuperación del peso y te damos algunos consejos para que no pagues tanto en tu recibo de luz si tienes un auto eléctrico.
1. Aristegui, Loret de Mola y el IMCO, entre los espiados por el gobierno
Desde el 2015, algunos periodistas entre los que se destacan, Carmen Aristegui y Carlos Loret de Mola, han recibido una serie de mensajes sospechosos y apócrifos. Estos mensajes, en realidad, tienen el objetivo de infectar los teléfonos celulares para rastrear sus comunicaciones a través de Pegasus, un malware de espionaje electrónico desarrollada y vendida por la firma israelí NSO Group vendida exclusivamente a gobiernos.
Aristegui y Loret de Mola son sólo dos de los 11 nuevos objetivos descubiertos por el instituto de investigación Citizen Lab de la Universidad de Toronto, que fueron espiados presuntamente por el gobierno de México.

2. Precio de gasolinas baja poco, pese a recuperación del peso
Entre febrero y mayo del 2017, los precios de las gasolinas a los consumidores mexicanos registraron en promedio bajas consecutivas cada mes. La gasolina Magna al 16 de junio se ubicó en 15.89 pesos por litro, 41 centavos (2.54%) por debajo de lo que costaba el primer día de enero, la Premium se ubicó ese día en 15.92 pesos por litro, 40 centavos (2.18) también por debajo del primer día del año y el diesel en esa misma fecha se cotizó en las gasolinerías en 16.53 pesos por litro, 52 centavos (3.03%) menos que al iniciar el 2017.
El tipo de cambio del peso respecto al dólar, un componente fundamental en la determinación diaria en el precio de los carburantes, en dicho lapso ha dibujado la misma tendencia que han registrado día a día los precios en las gasolineras de la Ciudad de México y la zona conurbada, aunque en una magnitud mucho menor.

4. Si tienes un auto eléctrico, evita que el recibo de luz llegue más caro
Sabemos que la idea de cargar un auto eléctrico de la misma manera en que cargamos nuestro smartphone puede resultar una práctica muy atractiva pero que podría aumentar entre 40 y 300% el costo en el recibo de luz si no se realiza antes una conversión en el tipo de voltaje para tener dos medidores: uno para el consumo de la energía en casa y otro exclusivo para la energía del auto.
Al ser propietario de un auto ecológico, una persona puede olvidarse del gasto de la verificación cada seis meses y del impuesto por la tenencia, por ocho años; asimismo, tendría un descuento de 20% en los costos de las autopistas urbanas del valle de México operadas por OHL. ¿Suena atractivo, no?, si quieres saber más del tema, entra a la nota completa.

5. Tecnología permite a gobierno mexicano espiar desde los bolsillos
La tecnología obtenida de una empresa israelí ha permitido al gobierno mexicano espiar a sus ciudadanos desde el bolsillo en donde se guarde la herramienta tecnológica al infectar sus teléfonos móviles con software malicioso, reveló John Scott Rialton de Citizen Lab.
En conferencia de prensa para presentar el informe titulado “#GobiernoEspía: vigilancia sistemática a periodistas y defensores de derechos humanos en México”, el investigador estadounidense detalló el funcionamiento de “Pegasus”, un software de la compañía israelí NSO Group, adquirido por el gobierno mexicano para espiar.

São Paulo – Following years of unstable growth as a result of the global crisis, Emirates Airline’s cargo division is back at “a good moment” in 2013, the senior vice president for Cargo Revenue Optimization and Systems, Pradeep Kumar, told ANBA this Tuesday (2nd), during an interview on the opening day of logistics fair Intermodal South America, held in São Paulo.

Emirates SkyCargo: four flights a week
During the fiscal year 2012/2013, the company grew by 8% and posted its highest revenue figure, at US$ 2.8 billion. The results for the 2013/2014 fiscal year are yet to be released, but Kumar said South American operations were up approximately 45%. The company flies to the Viracopos Airport, in the city of Campinas, and a new flight was added in late 2012, increasing flight frequency to four a week. According to the Cargo manager for South America, Dener Souza, this was one of the reasons for Dubai-based company’s increased revenues and cargo throughput in the region.
“We had six years of stability, but in 2013 there was some improvement (in cargo operations). And what we had in 2013 was very good, even better than we expected. Some of the markets fared well, such as Asia, the Middle East’s transactions with Africa, and South America’s transactions with Europe,” said Kumar. The fiscal year for Emirates Airline and its cargo division, Emirates SkyCargo, begins on April 1st and ends on March 31st of the following year.

Etihad Airways stand: first time at Intermodal
Kumar said Emirates SkyCargo should keep growing in South America this year, driven first and foremost by ts Brazilian operations. “This year, due to the World Cup, we believe there will be stronger demand for infrastructure equipment,” he said.
Extended operations
Emirates SkyCargo flies to Brazil since November 2010. Flights leave on Tuesdays, Thursday s and Saturday s from the Viracopos Airport, with layovers in Dakar, Senegal, and Frankfurt, Germany, before arriving in Dubai. On Mondays, there is a flight between Viracopos and Quito, Ecuador, with a layover in Amsterdam, Netherlands, and then Dubai.

Another Arab
This year, for the first time, the Intermodal fair is featuring another Arab airline: Etihad Cargo. Etihad has been flying to Brazil since June last year. The airline’s cargo division operates a Boeing 747-8 in Viracopos, in partnership with Atlas Air. Viracopos is one of the layovers of this flight, which is known as “around the world” and touches down in Quito, Miami, Hong Kong, Chicago and Amsterdam antes before arriving at the airline’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi.
