You joined former Com- missioner Dennis Moss in renewing talks about developing land near Homestead Air Reserve Base. A: I've been working on that a long time. But every time you try to do a major project like that, there are people who don't want it because it might affect them or they feel it's not needed. Programs like these are majorly im- portant for our community. if we take that particular one, we have to meet with people from Monroe County. They may not want something like this. I have to understand why. We could create a lot of jobs in the areas surrounding the base, which will help the area down south tremendously - Homestead, Florida City and the unin- corporated area. I see us working with companies that are job creators like Amazon. Maybe we didn't get them when we went after being the big hub for Amazon, but know- ing how much Amazon has come into our community and learned about it is huge for us. International issues and making sure we continue to and work strongly toward being the gateway to - and trade heavily with - South and Central America and the Caribbean will be huge for us. Opening new markets -Africa is a huge front for us. It does minerals, all kinds of things important in trade, including manufacturing. These are the things that are important to our community. We don't have one Ford plant everyone works in, and then when something hap- pens to it, there goes the community. We are very diversified in Miami -Dade, which is our greatest strength, our diversification of cultures from all over the world. But we need to apply that diversification to business, which will come from many different sources with trade and tourism. We can expand on that and grow it in many different ways. For every type of sector of business there is, many splinter businesses come out of it. Some just create themselves. I'm talking with business specialists, and we'll continue to talk and make do witbin our committees. We want to con- tinue improving everywhere we can. Q: Why did you oppose reinstating the county's Independent Review Panel of police? A: Law enforcement has an incredibly difficult job. They leave in the morning for work but don't know if they'll come back to their family at the end of the day. There are a lot of issues people look at that are maybe not done in the best and most appropriate way. Law enforcement has 1 don't know how many different entities to review, analyze and investigate itself. And if you've ever been part of law enforcement, seeing how many levels it has, not just administrative, is incredible. Everybody out there is a witness with a camera, their cellphone. Everything out there is being viewed. The police have cameras on them. If there's a component that could help us improve our policing, help to educate and help them help our citizens better, I'm all for that, but not one that doesn't have the investigative knowledge. That's just someone who sits on a board. They didn't express that. They didn't state where they Teamed how to investigate or whether they had law enforcement experi- ence and knew what it takes to wear that uniform, badge and weapon and protect those who need protecting. When someone calls 9- I -1, it's usually not for anything good. It's not to give them cupcakes and cookies. It's because there's a major problem going on in our com- munity and they're reaching out for help. 1 100% stand by our men and women who serve Miami -Dade. Like with ev- erything in life, nothing is perfect. But many different countries from around the world come to Miami -Dade to have people trained so they can go back and train other officers. Problems that are in other parts of our country are not the problems Miami -Dade has. Can we improve? Yes, always.

Q: How would you grade Miami - Dade 's use of Cares Act funds, including how the funds have been distributed to cities? A: As best as possible with the un- knowns and writing the book as we went along. The work that former Mayor Carlos (Gimenez] did was good compared to not knowing the particulars of the next day, trying to work with professionals, looking at the science and trying to find ways to keep the economy going while protecting people. It wasn't easy. Everybody can be a Monday morning quarterback. Maybe some things could have been done better. But in all, we worked hard to protect the people. We gave out food, myself with many others. 1 lost count of how many distributions we did. We did the best we could with what we had as far as Cares money. We went through a lot of costs - provided food for the elderly, made sure we had the right equipment to protect our first respond- ers, testing. A lot of people talk a good game. The problem is walking that game. All in all, we got a passing grade. Now we have a track record we can learn from and improve upon to do better in the future. Q: What was the last good book you read, and what is your favorite book? A: My favorite is "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. it's about how to react to situ- ations in warfare, but you can use those same approaches in personal situations and toward your relationship with God and what it means. People remember some of the sayings within it. Everyone sees it differently, and each time you read it, you pick up a new component of it. Sun Tzu wrote a heck of a book. The other, which I don't read as often as I should, is the Bible. The verses have shaped my life. For a period, i would just open the Bible and put my finger on a portion and read it. It'd be funny how many times what I read applied to what I was doing that day or had done the day before. Q: Can you tell me about your family? A: I am beyond blessed. I have the three most wonderful daughters a man could ever have. My wife is the most incredible person you've ever met. To be able to deal with a guy like me, who is constantly on the go, is not easy. We are a God -based family. We surround ourselves with principles and are blessed that everyone is pretty much happy, healthy, moving forward and growing. Two of my daughters are married. Both have great husbands. My youngest just finished school and started to make her mark in life. My eldest has given me two grandchildren who are the blessings of my life too. I look for- ward to my second daughter giving me grandchildren. I cannot ask for more. My father and mother are still alive. They deal with health issues. I have two sisters with their families, nieces and nephews. And I have a whole lot of cousins, like every typical Cuban family. Q: What is your most marked char- acteristic? A: I'm a hard worker. I take nothing for granted, and I'm strong in my belief of God. Most people who served in the military are that way. It comes from my upbringing and my father, my hero. He left Cuba and every- thing behind. The little money he had on him was taken at the airport when he, my mom and I left. We got here with nothing, and the people who were here, two nieces, were in just as bad or worse shape. It's mind -boggling to think that tomor- row you have to leave your house, your job and everything you own because of political persecution or threat of death. My father rebuilt his life to protect us and start over again in a country where he didn't know how to do anything. The only thing he knew was how to say hello. That was it. If 1 could emulate him, I'll be happy. CITY OF MIAMI.

Hannon City Clerk 1 16A IDLRI Cuba DIARIO LAS AMERICAS DEL VIERNES 8 AL JUEVES 14 DE ENERO DE 2021 Predicciones de Ifa hacen llamado a la transformation interna Luis Alberto Gonzalez, empresario y sacerdote de la religion yoruba en EEUU, reflexiona sobre la cartilla religiosa publicada recientemente e interpreta sus profecias para este afio CAMILA MENDOZA ®camila_mendoza La religion yoruba, popu- larmente conocida como santeria cubana, gira en torn a un cuerpo litera- rio que es el Oraculo de Ifa, donde se encuentran las bases liturgicas que, segunlos entendidos,son el equivalente a 1a Biblia, pare la religion cristiana; la Tora, para la religion judia; o el Coran, para los musulmanes. El Oraculo de Ifa cuenta con 256 signos que son los que rigen una Letra, pero Lque es una Letra en la religion Yoruba? El ba- balawo de origen cubano Luis Alberto Gonzalez explica que es una repre- sentacion de los fenome- nos materiales, flsicos y espirituales que se desa- rrollan en el mundo en un momento determinado, y de ahi nace la popular Letra del aiio, que diver- sos paises publican la pri- mera semana de enero con el fin de dar a cono- cer los acontecimien- tos que podrian guiar el acontecer social, politico y economico de una de- terminada region o pais. "En Cuba. cada 31 de di- ciembre los sacerdotes de Ifa se reunen en la sede de la Asociacion Cultural Yoruba para desarrollar la ceremonia de la Letra del Afio, y de ese ritual se desprenden las actitudes, problemas y/o enferme- dades que se van a produ- cir durante el transcurso del afio", dijo a DIARIO LAS AMERICAS Gonza- lez, quien ademas es un prominente empresario de Miami. L•tea.n Cuba y Miami "Quiero aclarar que el Oraculo de Ifa profetiza, no adivina. Y la profecia que se publica, basica- mente constituye una re - flexion que cada persona debe tener en su ambito personal y subjetivo, y que cede pais debe interpretar en su angulo global y obje- tivo. El signo de la Letra de este afio en Cuba fue Ika- fun, que habla de una con- tinuidad de los problemas que se han venido presen- tando", advirtio. "No quiero ser pesi- mista. pero es un signo que hace infests en la crisis economica y so- cial, en la violencia, y la enfermedad", agree, el babalawo sobre la car- tilla publicada en Cuba que tambien habla de un aumento en las enferme- dades infectocontagiosas, gastrointestinales, y del sistema nervioso. Ade- mas, resefia un aumento del desacato a la autori- dad en sentido general, in- cumplimiento y rupture de convenios, y un alza de los desastres naturales. "Sabemos que el corona - virus no va a desaparecer de la noche a la mafiana, y esta Letra nos indica que las consecuencias de esta pandemia las veremos este afio 2021. En sentido gene- ral, Ikafun nos advierte de una agudizacion de los pro- blemas que venimos aca- rreando", dijo. "Por otra parte, el signo de Miami [en este aprofes- cia]fue Irete kutan, y hay muchas cosas similares con respecto al signo de Cuba, pero en el contexto de Estados Unidos este Letra habla de un aumento en la violencia, de grandes perdidas de vidas huma- nas, de conflictos sociales y civiles, e incluso de pro- blemas de caracter belico", dijo el babalawo. "Como comunidad reli- giosa no nos queda mas que hacer un llamado a tomar conciencia, a ana- lizar 10 aprendido en el ano 2020, a Ienarnos de esa espiritualidad que ha- biamos perdido, y a en - tender que los problemas existen, pero que la vida es asi. Las dificultades y las pruebas siempre van a azotarnos y nuestra tarea -independiente de la re- ligion que tengamos- es aprender a afrontarlas y a ser felices". El religioso destaca que ambos compendios profe- ticos hacen un llamado a alejarnos del narcisismo, del egoismo, y a ser mas conscientes, Gonzalez tambien fue enfatico en sefialar que las cartillas exhortan a la comunidad religiosa a evitar las males practices. "Independiente de nues- tros credos religiosos, el llamado es a reflexionar, a tratar de ser mejores per- sonas, a cambiar desde adentro, porque de nada sirve hacer mil obras o ebbo [dedicatorias, limpie- zas], si no hay una trans- formacion interna", dijo el empresario, quien tambien se mostro esperanzado del hecho de que la deidad que gobierne la Letra del afio en Cuba sea Olokun, acompa- fiada de Oshun. "Olokun representa los oceans y su inmensidad. Es una deidad muy vin- culada con la salud. El ocean es el origen de Ia vida, es decir, sin mares nos hay vida en ningun planeta, y que Olokun sea el Orisha que rige este afio lo veo como un men- saje subliminal de que es hora de que nosotros volvamos al origen, para reflexionar sobre que rol estamos cumpliendo en el planeta y que estamos haciendo por su protec- cidn", finalize • CIUDAD DE MIAMI, FLORIDA AVISO DE AUDIENCIA PUBLICA La Comision Municipal de la Ciudad de Miami, Florida, celebrara una audiencia publica el jueves, 14 de enero del 2021, a las 9:00 a.m., en el auditorio de la Comision Municipal en el Ayuntamiento, sito en el 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida, 33133, con el objetivo de desestimar los requerimientos de obtener propuestas selladas a fin de comprar un sistema de fumigaci6n de habitaciones Sperfume a un solo proveedor, para lo que asignaran fondos provenientes del Programa de Asistencia Judicial (Justice Assistance Grant (JAG)] en Memoria de Edward Byrne.

The foundation's Nonprofit Support Grant Program received over 600 applications when it first opened back in October from small charitable organizations that were significantly impacted by the Coro- naviruspandemic. which surpassed the initial $10 million available fiords. Once all funds were allo- cated. an outstanding amount of almost S2 million of eligible grant requests remained. "We ultimately received ap- proval from the Miami -Dade County Board of Commissioners and received almost S I.9 mill ion in additional funds that allowed us to support every single nonprofit that applied to the program and had a valid application," said Lindsey Linzer, Miami Foundation's senior director of programs and grants administration. "The new funds allowed the final 77 organizations to receive funding before the holidays." In partnership with the county's Department ofPublic Housing and Community Development, the grant program supported organiza- tions with 25 or fewer employees Asha Walker: programs crucial. — the smallest nonprofits in the community who needed help to pay staff and other overhead costs incurred related to Covid-19, with an awarded average amount of S27,000 each. Grantees represented a wide ar- ray of nonprofit organizations in Miami -Dade serving diverse popu- lations, from across nine sectors, all 34 municipalities and 13 county commission districts, according to Miami Foundation officials. With the continuous support from the foundation, grant recipi- ent Food Rescue US provided over 17,000 meals through December to areas that have been heavily impacted by the pandemic, said Jennifer Guhl Food Rescue's de- velopment director. With the help of local agencies, the nonprofit distributes meals to neighborhoods Homeless trust desperate, out of money, says Book BY KYLEA HENSOLER The food and beverage industry struggled in 2020 due to Covid-19, spelling trouble not just for lo- cal restaurateurs but also for the Miami -Dade County Homeless Trust, which is fimded by a 1% Food and Beverage Tax on all sales in restaurants grossing S400,000 or more per year. "We're out of money," Chair- man Ronald Book told the Miami Beach City Commission in a December presentation. "We need help and we're desperate." According to its website. the Homeless Trust leads the county's Continuum of Care for the home- less population, overseeing 120 housing and service programs. Mr. Book said he was not a man to ask for unnecessary help person- ally or professionally, but that with food and beverage sales drying up the trust was Homing on empty. In February, he said revenue was down .94%; by March it was down 9.5% and in April it fell to -56.5% before hitting a low of -62.9% in May. The revenue has been creeping back up slowly, and was at -21.5% in November, he said "The hit to our revenue streams on our recurring programs," Mr. Book said "has been devastating to a lot of people." As the trust battles budget con- straints, he continued, it faced the daunting possibility of eviction moratoriums expiring Dec. 31— though that deadline has now been pushed to Jan. 31, with the S900 billion stimulus package passed Dec. 27 allocating $25 billion to rent relief. Florida will receive $ 1.43 billion of these funds to aid renters eaming 80% or less of the area median income, according to the National Low Income Housing Coalition. In Miami, this bench- mark is defined as $73,210 for a household of four or S51,200 for an individual. Some 6,400 eviction cases, Mr. Book said Dec. 9, had already been filed in county courts, which could result overnight in 18,000 new homeless individuals, approxi- mately 5,000 of them seniors. The trust, he said, will need pro-bono help from local lawyers to advo- cate for these individuals, and has already contacted the DadeCounty Bar Association. Despite financial struggles, Mr. Book said the trust led arobust Covid-prevention effort, and the positivity rate for the virus among the vulnerable homeless popula- tion is 1.2%. In February, he said, volunteers took to the streets to educate unsheltered homeless individu- als, of which the population in Miami -Dade is roughly 1,020, on personal hygiene, sanitation and social distancing. About 80% of this population is chronically homeless, he said and roughly 320 are seniors. The trust also launched the largest testing effort of any urban continuum in America, he said conducting 13,000 tests. Mobile teams have handed out sanitizerand masks, Mr. Book said and the trust has reserved hotel rooms and served over 80,000 meals to homeless individuals in quarantine or isolation. Still, he said, six Covid deaths have been accounted for in the homeless community, as well as roughly 230 cases and 30 hospitalizations and cities including Overtown. Liberty City, Little Haiti, North Beach, Hialeah, Miami Gardens and Little Havana "Since opening our first Com- munity Kitchenprogram in March. we have providedmore than 48,000 meals through these kitchens," she said of the Miami rescue site, one of over 25 rescue sites nationwide. "We plan to continue expanding our Community Kitchens programand partnering with restaurants to meet the growing needs." Even when restaurants return to regular operations, the organization will continue to partner with them and utilize surplus food to make meals multiple times a month, which allows restaurants to pro- vide meals to those in need while working to reduce food waste," Ms. Guhl added. As another organization work- ing to end food insecurity, Health in the Hood's ability to continue programs at a time when families impacted by Covid- 19 needed it the mostwascritical, saidAsha Walker, the nonprofit's executive director. "We were not only able to continue operating our nine urban vegetable gardens and provide fresh produce for families in food deserts," she said, "we also ex- panded our impact and launched a food distribution program that has consistently fed over 1,000 people per week since April." Grant recipient Food Rescue US provided more than 17,000 meals. CITY OF MIAMI.

Hannon City Clerk #36348 Big spring break plans enter uncharted waters BY Kn.en HENSELER As spring break at universities nears, Miami Beach officials are looking at big plans to host an un- predictablenumberof guests in an uncertain time - and the proposed activation may not come cheap. On Jan. 13, commissioners are to hear the final proposal for a Si million -plus plan that includes activities four nights per week for each weekend of March, to be programmed by event planning firm Tom Bercu Presents. The city's Finance and Eco- nomic Resiliency Committee heard an early plan this month that staff estimated would cost 51.5 million to execute plus ramped -up security expenses. Tom Bercu, thefirm's principal, explained to commissioners his vision for a mix of planned and free -flowing programming that would incorporate local busi- nesses and a range of potential audiences. This will be the first year, commissioners noted, that the city will attempt spring break activation on such a large scale. Activations, interim City Man- ager Raul Aguila said, will take place on the beach and in Lummus Park from Seventh to II th streets, and will not start before 10 a.m. or end after 10 p.m. Mr. Bercu's"Marvelous March in Miami" plan would kick off each long weekend with'Thurs- day Flicks" streamed on a large screen on the beach. "Friday Con- certs" and "Saturday Grooves" on the beach would follow, featuring artists Fridays and local DJs Sat- urdays and utilizing much of the same audio and visual infrastruc- ture as the movie night. Finally, "Tasty Sundays," to be geared toward locals, would feature a variety of restaurants each week with a tasting and wine pairing menu. Aside from the daily program- ming, Mr. Bercu presented the idea of sports activations in Lummus Park such as basketball, volleyball orZumbaand fitness classes. Less structured ideas include an 8-foot by 80-foot plywood "Art Wall" that guests could spray paint each weekend and three Instagram- mable "photo ops"including an art deco backdrop, oversized Miami Beach letters and an installation of dozens offlamingos on the beach. A fenced -in sponsor lounge, he said, could allow a beverage spon- sor to serve alcohol in a controlled manner. Sponsorship money, he said, could offset the cost of the event to the city, and staff are cur- rently working with consultant Spectra on identifying partners. Tonya Daniels, the city's direc- tor of marketing and communica- tions, said Spectra had already identified and began putting Provided that fund- ing can be identified and hopefully sponsorship dollars can be identified we will learn if we are on the right track.' Raul Aquila What we're tallying about is really a pilot. ($1.5 million] is a big spend for a pilot.' Marla Samuelian together a six -figure package for a potential beverage sponsor. However, she said, they were reluctant to share more specific financial projections. Commissioner David Richard- son noted that "six figures" could mean $100,000 or $900,000, and that one of those numbers would be a lot more appealing. "What we're talking about is really a pilot," said Commissioner Mark Samuelian. "($1.5 million) is a big spend for a pilot." Chief Financial Officer John Woodruff said no finding source had been identified yet, and that break plans were not factored into this fiscal year's budget. Funding, he said, could come from resort tax funds or Cares Act refunds as well as from sponsorship opportunities. Mr. Samuelian said that quality of life and public safety issues are his top priorities in exploring activation, and he asked staff how likely the proposed plan was likely to improve these issues. "Candidly," said Mr. Aguila, "this is something you directed the administration to do and this is the first time we do it. 1 don't know if this will move the needle or not but, provided that funding can be identified and hopefully sponsorship dollars can be identi- fied, we will learn if we're on the right track." Police Chief Richard Clements also noted that this was the first time trying such an approach, and that he would work with planners to ensure appropriate staffing. After Mr. Bercu noted that he would need a go/no go direction by January to secure performers and sponsors, commissioners directed staff to bring a scaled -down SI million plan, which could be in- creased if any sponsorship money is identified on top of city funds, to the full commission Jan. 13. Mr. Richardson noted that while some colleges in Florida and around the nation had cancelled spring breaks, others pushed the vacation into April. He said staff should consider spreading out programming to cover a wider timeline. He also asked how Covid protocols would be addressed, and Mr. Bercu noted that sanitizer stations, mask handouts, ground markings where applicable and occupancy limits within enclosed spaces like an outdoor sponsor lounge are all factored into the plan.

Por to tanto, a su juicio, verlo como "un simple testaferro puede ser un grave error". Rebolledo, radicado hoy en el sur de la Florida, sos- tiene la tesis de que Saab es un "intermediario" de la suntos "acuerdos secretos" entre el regimen de Ma- duro e Iran que afectarian la seguridad de Estados Unidos y la region.

"Iran ha dicho que los norteamericanos no esta- ran seguros ni en su case. Por eso, la informacion que debe tener el senor Saab es de vital importancia", dijo Rebolledo, quien se re- monto al ataque dispuesto por la Casa Blanca, que pro- duio la muerte del gene- ral Qasem Soleimani, alto mando minter irani acu- sado del asesinato de "cien- tos" de estadounidenses.

About 225 employees at Google and its parent com- pany Alphabet are the first dues -paying members of the Alphabet Workers Union. They represent a fraction of Alphabet's workforce, far short of the threshold needed to get formal recognition as a collective bargaining group in the U.S. But the new union, which will be affiliated with the larg- er Communication Workers of America, says it will serve as a "structure that ensures Google workers can actively push for real changes at the company." Its members say they want more of a voice not just on wages, benefits and protections against discrim- ination and harassment, but also broader ethical questions about how Google pursues its business ventures. The unionization campaign is the latest signal from em- ployees who don't believe the company is living up to its professed ideals, as expressed n its original "Don't be evil" slogan. Google said Monday that it's tried to create a support- ive and rewarding workplace but suggested it won't be ne- gotiating directly with the union. "Of course our employees have protected labor rights that we support," said a state- ment from Kara Silverstein. the company's director of people operations. But as we've always done, we'll con - tine engaging directly with all our employees." Unionization campaigns haven't historically been able to gain much traction among elite tech workers. who get hefty salaries and other perks like free food and shuttle rides to work. But workplace activism at Google and oth- er big tech firs has grown in recent years as employees call for better handling of sex- ual harassment and discrimi- nation. and avoiding harmful uses of the products they're helping to build and sell. Many employees began see- ing the power of their work- place activism in 2018, when an internal outcry led Google to abandon its work supply- ing the Pentagon with artifi- cial intelligence services for conflict zones. Later that year, thousands of Google employ- ees walked out to protest how the company handled sex- ual misconduct allegations against executives. Google software engineer Chewy Shaw, who has been elected to the new union's ex- ecutive council. said he and others decided to form the group after seeing colleagues pushed out of their roles for their activism "We want to have a counter - force to protect workers who are speaking up," Shaw said. The union's first members include engineers, as well as sales associates, administra- tive assistants and the work- ers who test self -driving vehi- cles at Alphabet automotive division Waymo. Many work at Google's Silicon Valley headquarters, while others are at offices in Massachu- setts, New York and Colora- do. "One of the reasons why it's taken a while for workers to In this Sept. 24, 2019, Ole photo, a woman walks below a Google sign on the company's campus In Mountain View, California. get to this point is because the leaders of these companies did a good job of convincing workers they were these be- nevolent folks who were go- ing to provide for them, kind of a paternalistic modeL" said Beth Allen. communications director at the CWA. "That got them a long way." Allen said. but workers have increasingly realized they e"to come togetherand build power for themselves and have a voice in what's go- ing on." CITY OF MIAMI.

Commissioners last month OK'd a resolution by Jose "Pepe" Diaz directing Mayor Danielle Levine Cava to "immediately al- low" county employees to donate up to S250,000 to `relief efforts in all affected countries except Nicaragua that have been most affected by the storm" The county administration must also publicize the effort, make donation forms available to employees and, within 30 days, provide a report. Hurricanes Iota and Eta, which struck back-to-back last year, caused billions of dollars in dam- age to the region, according to the Inter -American Development Bank (IDB), which said Eta alone is responsible for up to $5.5 billion of recovery costs. Across just four countries, the storms impacted more than 9 mil- lion people-4.6 million in Hondu- ras, 2.4 million in Guatemala, 1.8 million in Nicaragua and 302,996 in Colombia, a Dec. 30 report by the US Agency for International Development said. The US government has ear- marked more than $51 million in humanitarian funding for storm responses for fiscal 2020-21. Mr. Diaz's item, which passed unanimously, did not explain why Nicaragua — which the IDB said suffered over $740 million in damage from the hurricanes — was excluded; however, he and his peers at the county dais have passed several items since mid- 2018 concerning Nicaragua. In June 2018, they adopted a resolution condemning President Daniel Ortega's "meddling in the National Assembly, the elections council, mayoral races and the Constitution," among many other dictatorial actions. "News reports from [Nicaragua capitol] Managua have shown thugs on motorcycles beating protestors with pipes and electri- cal cords, a joumalist assassinated while live on the air and police officers looting stores," said the item by Mr. Diaz, which fellow Commissioner Rebeca Sosa and former commissioner Esteban "Steve" Bovo Jr. co -sponsored. The item, which urged Con- gress to pass bills "designed to promote democracy and the rule of law in Nicaragua," also called for "an independent judiciary and electoral council in Nicaragua, free and fair elections overseen by credible intemational observers, and government anti -corruption transparency efforts" there. Almost exactly one year later, commissionerspasseda resolution by Mr. Bovo urging further action by Congress, including extending temporary protected status for Nicaraguan nationals. In May 2020, the county com- mission OK'd another resolution, which Mr. Diaz also sponsored, "supporting the N icaraguan people in their efforts to promote the restoration of democracy and the defenseofhuman rights; urging the United States Congress to pass ... legi slation des igned to promote de- mocracy and prevent human rights abuses in Nicaragua and increase political and economic pressure on the government of Daniel Ortega." Ms. Levine Cava, Mr. Bovo and Eileen Higgins co -sponsored the item. To Submit Information Miami Today welcomes news ofjob changes, promotions, hiring and awards.

Es probable que SpaceX lidere los lanzamientos este ano gracias a su cre- ciente lista de dientes co- merciales, que apuestan por lanzar cientos de sate- lites de Internet, asi como la mision especial DART que tratara de sacar un asteroide de su orbita. Asimismo, la NASA pla- nea lanzar dos tripulacio- nes de astronautas en la capsule Crew Dragon de SpaceX este ano, hacia la Estacion Espacial Inter- nacional con misiones de seis meses a bordo del la- boratorio orbital. El Atlas V de United Launch Alliance (ULA) tambien tiene programado un ano emblematico, al querer devolver la nave Starliner sin tripulacion de Boeing esta primavera y posiblemente envier astro- nautas en una capsule du- rante verano. ULA tambien anuncia que enviara la mision Lucy de la NASA pars analizar el comportamiento de ocho asteroides, asi como otros lanzamientos que estarian relacionados con la Fuerza Espacial y Ia Oficina de Re- conocimiento Nacional. El Centro Espacial John F. Kennedy (CEK), situado en la pequena Merritt Island, a unas 200 millas al norte de Miami; fue estable- cido en 1962 y desde 1968 ha sido Ia principal plata- forma de lanzamientos. Propuesto por el presi- dente John F. Kennedy, buscaba servir al programa espacial tripulado Apolo, que hizo posible la llegada del hombre a la Luna el 20 de julio de 1969. El nombre del centro es- pacial en honor a Kennedy fue dado por su sucesor, Ly- ndon B. Johnson, despues de que Kennedy muriera asesinado en 1963. Desde el fin del pro- grama Apolo de la agencia espacial NASA en 1972, el Centro Espacial Kennedy ha sido usado para todas las misiones espaciales tripuladas e CIUDAD DE MIAMI.

About 225 employees at Google and its parent com- pany Alphabet are the first dues -paying members of the Alphabet Workers Union. They represent a fraction of Alphabet's workforce, far short of the threshold needed to get formal recognition as a collective bargaining group in the U.S. But the new union. which will be affiliated with the larg- er Communication Workers of America, says it will serve as a "structure that ensures Google workers can actively push for real changes at the company." Its members say they want more of a voice not just on wages, benefits and protections against discrim- ination and harassment, but also broader ethical questions about how Google pursues its business ventures. The unionization campaign is the latest signal from em- ployees who don't believe the company is living up to its professed ideals, as expressed m its original "Don't be evil" slogan. Google said Monday that it's tried to cream a support- ive rewarding workplace but suggested it won't be ne- gotiating directly with the m-Of course our employees have protected labor rights that we support." said a state- ment from Kara Silverstein. the company's director of people operations. "But as we've always done, we'll con - tine engaging directly with all our employees" Unionization campaigns haven't historically been able to gain much traction among elite tech workers, who get hefty salaries and other perks like free food and shuttle rides to work. But workplace activism at tingle and oth- er big tech firms has grown in recent years as employees call for better handling of sex- ual harassment and discrimi- nation, and avoiding harmful uses of the products they're helping to build and sell Many employees began see- ing the power of their work- place activism in 2018, when an internal outcry led Google to abandon its work supply- ing the Pentagon with artifi- cial intelligence services for conflict zones. Later that year, thousands of Google employ- ees walked out to protest how the company handled sex- ual misconduct allegations against executives. Google software engineer Chewy Shaw, who has been elected to the new union's ex- ecutive council, said he and others decided to form the group after seeing colleagues pushed out of their roles for their activism. "We want to have a counter - force to protect workers who are speaking up," Shaw said. The union's first members include engineers, as well as sales associates, administra- tive assistants and the work- ers who test self -driving vehi- cles at Alphabet automotive division Waymo. Many work at Google's Silicon Valley headquarters, while others are at offices in Massachu- setts, New York and Colora- do. "One of the reasons why it's taken a while for workers to In this Sept. 24, 2019, file photo, a woman walks below a Google sign on the company's campus In Mountain View, California. get to this point is because the leaders of these companies did a good job of convincing workers they were these be- nevolent folks who were go- ing to provide for them, kind of a paternalistic model." said Beth Allen, communications director at the CWA. "That got them a long way," Allen said, but workers have increasingly realized they need "to come together and build power for themselves and have a voice in what's go- ing on." CITY OF MIAMI.

Hannon City Clerk #36348 Big spring break plans enter uncharted waters BY KYLEA HENSELER As spring break at universities nears, Miami Beach officials are looking at big plans to host an un- predictable number ofguests in an uncertain time —and the proposed activation may not come cheap. On Jan. 13, commissioners are to hear the final proposal fora S I million -plus plan that includes activities four nights per week for each weekend of March, to be programmed by event planning firm Tom Bercu Presents. The city's Finance and Eco- nomic Resiliency Committee heard an early plan this month that staff estimated would cost $1.5 million to execute plus ramped -up security expenses. Tom Bercu, the fimt's principal, explained to commissioners his vision for a mix of planned and free -flowing programming that would incorporate local busi- nesses and a range of potential audiences. This will be the first year, commissioners noted, that the city will attempt spring break activation on such a large scale. Activations, interim City Man- ager Raul Aguila said, will take place on the beach and in Lummus Park from Seventh to llth streets, and will not start before 10 a.m. or end after 10 p.m. Mr. Bercu's"Marvelous March in Miami" plan would kick off each long weekend with "Thurs- day Flicks" streamed on a large screen on the beach. "Friday Con- certs" and"Saturday Grooves" on the beach would follow, featuring artists Fridays and local DJs Sat- urdays and utilizing much of the same audio and visual infrastruc- ture as the movie night. Finally, "Tasty Sundays," to be geared toward locals, would feature a variety of restaurants each week with a tasting and wine pairing menu. Aside from the daily program- ming, Mr. Bercu presented the idea of sports activations in Lummus Park such as basketball, volleyball orZumbaandfitnessclasses. Less structured ideas include an 8-foot by 80-foot plywood "Art Wall" that guests could spray paint each weekend and three Instagram- mable "photo ops" including an art deco backdrop, oversized Miami Beach lettersandan installation of dozens offlamingos on the beach. A fenced -in sponsor lounge, he said, could allow a beverage spon- sor to serve alcohol in a controlled manner. Sponsorship money, he said, could offset the cost of the event to the city, and staff are cur- rently working with consultant Spectra on identifying partners. Tonya Daniels, the city's direc- tor of marketing and communica- tions, said Spectra had already identified and began putting Provided that fund- ing can be identified and hopefully sponsorship dollars can be identified we will learn if we are on the right track.' Raul A*uila What we're talking about is really a pilot. [$1.5 million] is a big spend for a pilot,' Marl: Samuelian together a six -figure package for a potential beverage sponsor. However, she said, they were reluctant to share more specific financial projections. Commissioner David Richard- son noted that "six figures" could mean $100,000 or $900,000, and that one of those numbers would be a lot more appealing. "What we're talking about is really a pilot," said Commissioner Mark Samuelian. "($1.5 million) is a big spend for a pilot." Chief Financial Officer John Woodruff said no funding source had been identified yet, and that break plans were not factored into this fiscal year's budget. Funding, he said, could come from resorttax funds or Cares Act refunds as well as from sponsorship opportunities. Mr. Samuelian said that quality of life and public safety issues are his top priorities in exploring activation, and he asked staffhow likely the proposed plan was likely to improve these issues. "Candidly," said Mr. Aguila, "this is something you directed the administration to do and this is the first time we do it. I don't know if this will move the needle or not but, provided that funding can be identified and hopefully sponsorship dollars can be identi- fied, we will learn if we're on the right track." Police Chief Richard Clements also noted that this was the first time trying such an approach, and that he would work with planners to ensure appropriate staffing. After Mr. Bercu noted that he would need a go/no go direction by January to secure performers and sponsors, commissioners directed staff to bring a scaled -down $1 million plan, which could be in- creased if any sponsorship money is identified on top of city funds, to the full commission Jan. 13. Mr. Richardson noted that while some colleges in Florida and around the nation had cancelled spring breaks, others pushed the vacation into April. He said staff should consider spreading out programming to cover a wider timeline. HealsoaskedhowCovid protocols would be addressed, and Mr. Bercu noted that sanitizer stations, mask handouts, ground markings where applicable and occupancy limits within enclosed spaces like an outdoor sponsor lounge are all factored into the plan.

WEEK OF THURSDAY, LWUARY 7, 2021 TODAY'S NEWS MIAMI TODAY 13 Artist Vic Garcia works on a fridge that is at Mr. Tutis Fruties at 139 N Redland Road in Florida City. Three visual artists leaving impacts on 10 community fridges for needy BY ABRAHAM GAI.vAN Buddy System MIA has teamed up with Buchanan's Whisky and three local artists to bring to life 10 community fridges in Miami's most food -insecure communities. The nonprofit behind Miami's Community Fridges, which are placed at areas where there is a lack of accessibility ofhealthy food options and experiencing structural poverty, has commissioned three visual artists who have impacted their communities with a platform to leave their mark. Through their designs, the artists are celebrating Miami's vibrancy, bringing color to the neighborhoods and beautifying communities. The three artists include Reyna Noriega, AholSniffsGlue and Vic Garcia "Our hope is that these commu- nity fridges change the landscape of food insecurity in our city forever by empowering communities with long-term structural change," said Kristin Guerin, CEO of Buddy System MIA. With one in six South Florida residents facing food insecurity, these 10 fully stocked fridges will serve over 28,000 meals by March 2021, she said. "Many Miamians are experi- encing unprecedented financial hardship right now as well as liv- ing in areas that don't have access to fresh produce and other healthy options," Ms. Guerin continued. "Many people who can't afford to buy groceries right now also can't afford to own acar that would allow them to attend food pantries and distributions." The fridges are placed in the Wynwood, Coconut Grove, Florida City, Overtown, Little Haiti and Richmond Heights neighborhoods. Community members are tak- ing pride in their fridges that now are public art displays, Ms. Guerin added "Ourmotto is `Take what you need, leave what you can.' During such a polarizing time, it's beauti- ful to see people come together to support each other." Giving back is part of what mo- tivates artists like Vic Garcia to put then hear into their work every day. "Miami has been hit with so much hardship over the last few months, and with Miami Art Week being canceled and food banks in the area struggling with a shortage of supplies, I was inspired to make a difference with a project that will impact people's lives," he said. Making an impact for a better world through his art's messages and bright color palette, Mr. Garcia says he wants people to disconnect from the crazy world we are living in and connect with his worldofsmiles and beautiful messages. "When I started, I knew I had to meet the deadline in time for the holidays and it took me five long days to perfect the piece that I put my IN A WORK -FROM -HOME WORLD, TAKE MIAMI TODAY WITH YOU The digital edition is always with you, with news you don't get anywhere else.

Y Hugo Chavez aplico muy bien la teoria gramsciana de la hegemo- nia cultural para imponer el Socialismo del Siglo XXI en Venezuela: conquisto la confianza de los ciu- dadanos con sus discur- sos contra la corruption para ganar consenso y, una vez en el poder, hizo un paciente e incisivo tra- bajo de ocupacien de las instituciones democrati- cas, para luego imponer un marxismo cultural a la italiana, con estilo lati- no-caribeno. "Lo que esta muriendo se niega a morir y toda- via no termina de morir y lo que esta naciendo tampoco ha terminado Rafael Correa. (AFP) Hugo Chavez aplico muy bien la teoria gramsciana de la hegemonia cultural para imponer el Socialismo del Siglo XXI en Venezuela de nacer", dijo Hugo Cha- vez en su discurso de junio de 2007, para anun- ciar el nacimiento de la V Republica en Vene- zuela, parafraseando la famosa frase de Antonio Gramsci: "El viejo mundo esta muriendo. El nuevo tarda en aparecer. Y en este claroscuro nacen los monstruos". Vasco Da Costa, poli- tologo anticomunista y exprisionero politico ve- nezolano, confirmo la in- fluencia gramsciana en el chavismo: "La base del So- cialismo del Siglo XXI es marxista, pero su desenvol- vimiento esta inspirado en Gramsci y su fundamento psicologico tiene raices en el socialismo indo-ameri- cano del peruano Carlos Mariategui". Esta inspiration gramsciana tambien trajo consigo la destruction de Venezuela, porque "por eso (Hugo Chavez) toma la prensa, tiene que ha- cerse una religion, toma las fuerzas armadas, des- mantela toda nuestra tra- dicion republicada y hace un gobierno de comu- nas. Pero lo mas terrible de Antonio Gramsci, que no esta totalmente estu- diado, es el problema de la guerra psicologica: bom- bardear la mente colec- tiva para transformar el individuo y hacerlo acep- tar una doctrina antina- tural para transformarla en la cultura dominadora, en la que manda", explico. Ya lo habia advertido el analista chileno Francisco Javier Vargas Galindo, "la filosofia de Cramsci esta mas actual que nunca y es la base ideologica del Foro de San Paolo. Intentan so- cavar las instituciones de- mocraticas para llegar al gobierno. porque al Ilegar al gobierno ganan poder, por caminos democraticos como una Asamblea Cons- tituyente y la modification de la Constitution. lUn ejemplo? Venezuela". Ahora ese virus italiano ha dominado la escena cultural del mundo occi- dental, a traves del para- digms de lo "politicamente correcto", siendo el pensa- miento de Gramsci uno de los pilares. "Hoy el marxismo cul- tural se ha vuelto, des- graciadamente, una realidad global por obra del gramscismo; convir- tiendose en una amenaza porque apunta a afirmar un regimen totalitario como lo es precisamente el sistema social-comunista", concluy6 el profesor Re- nato Cristin • CIUDAD DE MIAMI, FLORIDA AVISO DE AUDIENCIA PUBLICA La Comision Municipal de Ia Ciudad de Miami, Florida, celebrara una audiencia publica el jueves 14 de enero del 2021, a las 9:00 a. m., para analizar la transferencia de fondos de Ia cuota del Distrito 3, proveniente del Programa contra la Pobreza de Ia Ciudad de Miami (API, por sus siglas en ingles), a la cuenta discrecional del Distrito 3 para gastos generados por distribucion de alimentos del Distrito 3, asi como para estudiar las recomendaciones y conclusiones del Administrador de la Ciudad de que los metodos de negotiation competitiva no son viables ni ventajosos en lo que respecta a este tema: • Iniciativa contra la Pobreza, Distrito 3 — Cuenta discrecional del Distrito 3 para distribucion de alimentos Las preguntas relativas a este aviso se pueden dirigir a Malissa T.

About 225 employees at Google and its parent com- pany Alphabet are the first dues -paying members of the Alphabet Workers Union, They represent a fraction of Alphabet's workforce, far short of the threshold needed to get formal recognition as a collective bargaining group in the U.S. But the new union. which will be affiliated with the larg- er Communication Workers of America, says it will serve as a "structure that ensures Google workers can actively push for real changes at the tompany." Its members say hey want more of a voice not just on wages. benefits and protections against discrim- ination and harassment, but also broader ethical questions about how Google pursues its business ventures. The unionization campaign is the latest signal from em- ployees who don't believe the company is living up to its professed ideals. as expressed m its original "Don't be evil" slogan. Google said Monday that it's tried to create a support- ive and rewarding workplace but suggested it won't be ne- gotiating directly with the union. Of course our employees have protected labor rights that we support; said a state- ment from Kara Silverstein, the company's director of people operations. "But as we've always done, well con - tine engaging directly with all our employees." Unionization campaigns haven't historically been able to gain much traction among elite tech workers, who get hefty salaries and other perks like free food and shuttle rides to work. But workplace activism at Google and oth- er big tech firms has grown in recent years as employees call for better handling of sex- ual harassment and discrimi- nation, and avoiding harmful uses of the products they're helping to build and sell. Many employees began see- ing the power of their work- place activism in 2018. when an internal outcry led Google to abandon its work supply- ing the Pentagon with artifi- cial intelligence services for conflict zones. Later that year, thousands of Google employ- ees walked out to protest how the company handled sex- ual misconduct allegations against executives. Google software engineer Chewy Shaw, who has been elected to the new unions ex- ecutive council, said he and others decided to form the group after seeing colleagues pushed out of their roles for their activism. "W want to have a caunter- force to protect workers who are speaking up," Shaw said. The union's first members include engineers, as well as sales associates, administra- tive assistants and the work- ers who test self -driving vehi- cles at Alphabet automotive division Waymo. Many work at Google's Silicon Valley headquarters, while others are at offices in Massachu- setts, New York and Colora- do. "One of the reasons why it's taken a while for workers to In this Sept. 24, 2019, Ole photo, a woman walks below a Google sign on the company's campus In Mountain View, California. get to this point is because the leaders of these companies did a good job of convincing workers they were these be- nevolent folks who were go- ing to provide for them, kind of a paternalistic model," said Beth Allen, communications director at the CWA. "That got them a long way," Allen said, but workers have singly realized they need "m come together and build power for themselves and have a voice in what's go- ing on CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING A public hearing will be held by the City Commission of the City of Miami, Florida an Thursday, January 14, 2021 at 9:00 a.m., in the City Commission Chambers at City Had, 3500 Pan Ameri- can Drive, Miami, Florida 33133, for the purpose of considering the following: The award of a Program Partnership Agreement, to The Bollettieri Tennis and Leaming Program for the 2021-2022 contract period, for the provision of tennis coaching with life skills, nutrition, fitness, and health education, mentonng, colege advisement and scholarships for at risk youth at the City of Miami's Charles Hadley and Shenandoah Parks, and to consider Me City Man- ager's recommendation and finding that competitive negotiation methods are not practcable or advantageous regarding these issues.

JANUARY 7, 2021 Two -block pedestrian promenade lined by large art murals By ABRAHAM GALVAN In partnership with Miami Worldcenter, Art4All is provid- ing an alternative for artists to share their work with the public in a way that is safe and acces- sible. Art4All recently launched its public art fair in Miami fea- turing artists on more than 50 billboards throughout the city. Large art murals were placed along two blocks of downtown's Miami Worldcenter pedestrian promenade, which is part of the development's upcoming open-air, high -street retail paseo scheduled to premiere next year. Located along Northeast First Avenue between Northeast loth and 11th Streets, the 27-acre, 10-block long real estate devel- opment, still under construction, will be a city -within -a -city with public art being the key element of bringing every facet of the Worldcenter together to create a memorable experience for residents and visitors, said Nitin Motwani, managing partner of Miami Worldcenter Associates. "Art4All is a perfect partner because we share a passion for bringing the beauty of art to everyone," he said of the murals that are to be on display through the end of 2021. "We've dedi- cated an extraordinary amount Large murals were placed along the pedestrian promenade of Miami Worldcenter's future retail paseo of outdoor space for art installa- tions and beautiful landscaping to create an inspiring environ- ment for people to enjoy." Art4All was created by Cube Art Fair's founder Gregoire Vogelsang as a creative solution to the widespread cancellations of art fairs around the world, like Art Basel. The art fair was initially launched in Brussels, Belgium, with 100 pieces of American art that were displayed around the city, including on buses, billboards and benches. "We wanted to find creative ways to continue sharing art with the world and to inspire people to remain positive and to stay creative." Mr. Vogelsang said. The best art is usually seen by only a few who have access to CITY OF MIAMI.

The audience will have about 10 minutes to question each suspect. Art Heist Experience to let audience solve art robbery By ABRAHAM GALVAN The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts is presenting an interactive, socially distanced theater experience with the pre- miere of the Art Heist Experience, which will take audiences in small groups on a quest to solve a real - life art robbery. Based on a true story of the world's biggest artcaper,ArtHeist Experience will have amateur de- tectives of all ages in and around the Arsht Center's downtown Mi- ami campus gathering clues. The thriller true -crime includes a wild group of wily career criminals, slimy con men, rumpledart-recov- ery specialists, a possible inside man, a gentle psychopath and the real self-proclaimed"GreatestArt Thief of All Time." The plot is based on a March 18, 1990, art heist by two thieves disguised as police officers who entered Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in the middle of the night. They told the guards they were investigating a distur- bance and stole 13 works of art valued at half a billion dollars, in- cluding paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer and Monet. To this day, the robbers and the art pieces re- main at large, said TJ Dawe, the interactive theater experience's writer and creator. "Given a program that they can down load and access through their smartphones, audience members will have about 10 minutes to question each suspect and ask whatever they want, and that's where the actors need to improvise and deal with it," he said. The cast will be made up of Miami -based actorswho, through conversations and scenes, will reveal clues to detective audi- ences leading them on their way. No two performances will ever be the same, Mr. Dawe said. "If audiences come again, they will encounter a completely dif- ferent experience. We don't have scripts per se. The actors learn the characteristics, background and expertise of each character they are going to portray." Mr. Dawe encouraged Miam- ians to join the hunt for a criminal mastermind in this new outdoor interactive theater experience premiering March 18.

Se pueden enu- merar numerosas causas para entender por que Venezuela paso de ser un pais moderno y pr6s- pero a un Estado fallido multiplicador de miseria, desde economicas como politicas y sociales, pero existe un virus 'Made in Italy' sin duda clave para entender la destruction del pais con las mayores reservas de petroleo del mundo. El 22 de enero de 2020, el dictador Nicolas Maduro conmemor6 los 129 afios del natalicio de Antonio Gramsci a traves de un tuit, afirmando que "hoy nos guia con su moral y pensamiento para cons- truir el modelo que sal- vara a la humanidad, el Socialismo". Y el 27 de abril tambien recordb los 83 afios de su muerte con un segundo tuft, en el que invite a "estu- diar su obra y pensamiento, indispensable para com- prender los cambios que exige la humanidad".
