Tropical Storm Lisa strengthened Tuesday as it pushed across the western Caribbean south of the Cayman Islands and was forecast to make landfall, likely as a hurricane, in Central America as early as Wednesday. And Mexico was also preparing as Lisa was forecast to strengthen in warm tropical waters and strike Belize late Wednesday. The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Lisa had maximum sustained winds of 65 mph and was moving west at 15 mph. A hurricane warning was in effect for Roatan and the other Bay Islands of Roatan, and Guatemala declared a warning for its entire Caribbean coast. Hurricane expert Philip Klotzbach, a Colorado State University meteorologist, tweeted that Lisa would be the first hurricane to make landfall in Belize during November since 1942.

For meteorologist Joseph Trujillo, the right translation is more than a language issue, especially when it comes to weather-related warnings. A NOAA assessment revealed a lack of weather-related resources in the Spanish language that could have helped communities take action to save lives. But those linguistic differences can bring great challenges when translating emergency information, such as weather alerts, for all Hispanic people. They designed a new list of categories that better reflect the risk of climate emergencies in simpler terms: minimum, low, moderate, high and extreme. That first experience led him to pursue meteorology and his investigative work, which he presented to the National Weather Service.

Latinos were 31 percent of the state’s high school graduates that year. But at 31%, the six-year graduation rate for MSU’s Latino students lags far behind CU Boulder, where it was 63 %. On the CU Boulder campus stands a 4-foot-7 memorial to “Los Seis,” six activists, including CU Boulder students, who were killed in two off-campus car bombings in 1974; the killings were never solved. Seventy-two percent, 510, of the middle and high school students enrolled in the program for 2020-21 were Latino. Vela and three other CU Boulder students who spoke with NBC News first learned about the campus through the Aquetza program.

The company estimates a gross output of $885 million for the county. The company expects to contribute $885 million in gross economic output for Cameron County, Brownsville Mayor Trey Mendez said on Thursday at the "State of the City" event, per the outlet. SpaceX wanted to expand its Brownsville site and add another launchpad but US Army Corps halted the plans earlier this month as it sought more data. The Brownville-based rocket production site, called Starbase, first started testing rocket engines and flights in 2019. The company started buying up Cameron County properties as early as 2012 and unveiled Texas as its launch site in 2014.

Dacă în Peru este în mod clar tulpina dominantă, în Chile doar puțin peste 30% din probele analizate în mai și iunie au indicat prezența variantei Lambda. Autoritatea de Sănătate Publică din Anglia a raportat recent că au fost depistate câteva cazuri de infecție cu Lambda și a recunoscut că această variantă are „o potențială transmisibilitate crescută sau o posibilă rezistență crescută la anticorpii neutralizanți”. Se crede că varianta Delta include mutații care fac ca noul coronavirus să se „agațe” mai ușor de celulele din corpul uman. Însă, până una-alta, varianta Delta a determinat noi restricții de călătorie în întreaga Europă. După Delta, și o altă variantă a coronavirusului a fost studiată cu îngrijorare de experți.

După Busquets, un alt jucător a fost testat pozitiv cu COVID-19Fundaşul Diego Llorente aste al doilea jucător din lotul selecţionatei Spaniei testat pozitiv la Covid-19, la două zile după căpitanul Sergio Busquets, ambii urmând să rateze EURO 2020, a anunţat marţi seara Federaţia spaniolă de fotbal (RFEF), citată de AFP. După testul pozitiv al lui Sergio Busquets, selecţionerul Spaniei, Luis Enrique, a decis să apeleze la mai mulţi jucători de rezervă, pentru a acoperi eventualele forfait-uri din cauza Covid-19 până la startul competiţiei. Astfel, Luis Enrique i-a chemat pe portarul Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea), fundaşul Raul Albiol (Villarreal), atacantul Rodrigo Moreno (Leeds United) şi mijlocaşii Pablo Fornals (West Ham United), Carlos Soler (Valencia) şi Brais Mendez (Celta Vigo). Luis Enrique are timp la dispoziţie până sâmbătă pentru a face schimbări în lotul său de 26 de jucători.

Fotbalistul Brais Mendez de la Celta Vigo a fost chemat de selecționerul Luis Enrique și a părăsit Grecia, acolo unde odihnea cu familia. Acest lucru s-a întâmplat, după ce patru fotbaliști au fost testați pozitiv cu noul coronavirus, iar selecționerul a fost nevoit să convoace patru jucători în regim de urgență. Pe lângă Mendez, Enrique a apelat la serviciile lui Rodrigo Moreno de la Leeds United, Pablo Fornals de la West Ham United şi Carlos Soler de la Valencia. Astfel, selecţionerul este îngrijorat că mijlocașul ar fi putut transmite virusul altor coechipieri, deoarece, potrivit presei spaniole, jucătorii au mâncat împreună la restaurant în ziua în care fotbalistul Barcelonei a fost testat pozitiv. În același timp, Federaţia spaniolă a anunţat că este posibilă convocarea altor jucători în afară de cei patru.
