JULY 6 - 12, 2018

REPLACE THE ESTABLISHMENT IN CONTROL

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR On Tuesday, June 26, 2018 a 28-year-old Latina, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, surprised this nation, especially its Democratic Party establishment, by being elected as the U.S. Congress Representative of Bronx, New York. The Democratic Party establishment expended $3 million in campaigning for the re- election of incumbent Joseph 'Joe' Crowley, who had already served 10 terms and was expected to replace Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi as the Minority Leader.

Ocasio-Cortez began knocking on doors in her South Bronx, New York congressional district 18 months ago. Her campaign efforts were simple: She communicated with the citizens who voted for her; She was in contact with the working-class folks of that district. Cortez addressed their concerns.

During her guest appearance on Stephen Colbert's Late-Night TV Show (Friday, 06.29.2018), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a hospitality worker (bar-tender), presented herself as a very confidant young woman who had organized an effective campaign team funded by only $300,000.

Colbert began the interview by saying, “You know that before Tuesday's election I did not know your name; nor who you were. Tell us how you upset an established Democrat Congressman.”

Ocasio-Cortez replied, “What pollsters do is to gather a list of expected voters who they use when doing polling surveys.

What we did was to motivate those who hardly ever vote... their voice was their vote. Pollsters are not always right. We simply changed who turned out to vote last Tuesday.”

Stephen Colbert revealed that 4 days prior to the election, polls established that Alexandria was 36% below Joe Crowley; but after the election, she had defeated Representative Joe Crowley by 15 points...an upswing of 51 points. “How did you do that?”

Ocasio-Cortez: “Let me respond with the following anecdote. Eight minutes prior to the polls closing, I was driving back to the old pool hall which had our campaign offices. I saw two teenagers who flagged me down to tell me enthusiastically 'We just voted for you! We feel good about that!” Then I noticed news reporters running toward the pool hall, so I ran to get there before them. On entering the pool hall, I noticed the TV screen data report

which told our community that I had won. That is how I learned that I had won. We just motivated the millennials to get off their couch to vote. Can you imagine two teenagers, age 19, voting during an off-year midterm primary election?”

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign had focused on informing those who normally do not vote!

The outcome was an upset according to the news media and establishment Democratic Party leaders who already had plans for Joe Crowley. Simply stated...they had lost contact with the South Bronx community which is Democratic. That Congressional District had changed from being “White” to being very diverse over the 20 years that Joe Crowley was their Congressional Representative. He had lost contact.

For 32 years (since 1986) as EO's publisher, I was told by political experts “Hispanics do not vote so why should we promote our candidates in your EO publication?” I also was told by some promotional experts: “Hispanics do not read, so why waste our campaign funds using Hispanic press?” During those 32 years I encouraged Hispanics to register to vote; learn about the public policy issues which impact your community; and then vote in your own best interests. Never, during that period did any national political party ever place a paid advertisement

in EO. And I am certain that many Latinos made campaign contributions to those national political groups (both Democrat and Republican). And we all know how much money was allocated to national TV networks and radio networks... and today it is the internet!

Too many political pundits, both Democratic and Republican, have used polls to guide their placement of promotional efforts and communicated using national media. Those communicators do not use local community publications, radio and TV. Let's get back to Colbert's interview: “Alexandria, you present yourself as a 'Democratic Socialist'. Tell me what your agenda is.” Alexandria: “I believe that in our wealthy America, Democracy is about our professed values. No one in this nation should be so poor that they cannot live a life with some comforts; have a home, food on the table, and security.

Education or vocational training needs to be accessible. No one should be homeless; Housing and health care must be affordable and available even if government must take steps to make that a reality.”

Colbert: President Trump lives in Queens district nearby. His agenda is quite different from yours. Will you be nice to him?”

To that statement, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez replied, “I do

not think Mr. Trump knows how to deal with a Latina girl from the Bronx.”

This Bronx election reveals how out of contact are the leaders of the Democratic Party (and its Republican counterpart).

This Trump Administration has focused its power and authority in a destructive manner by kidnapping our children from their parents. During the campaign, Trump declared that “Mexico does not send its best to America. What they send is their rapists, murderers and drug-dealing criminals.”

Trump has, through his words and actions, encouraged the worst racism, misogyny, etc. to be come out openly. The consequence is the lowest level of civil behavior not only in America, but also throughout this world. Trump's idols are dictators such as Russia's Putin along with those other autocratic leaders in North Korea, the Philippines, and China.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT LOW INCOME MILLENIALS UNDERSTAND THAT ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ has demonstrated that a quick way to change things in America is to replace the current establishment which has taken care of its wealthy donors while not doing anything at all for the working class of this nation.

Your votes can replace the current establishment in control.

EL GRITO DE MÉXICO José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

México celebró el primero de julio una jornada democrática donde votó alrededor del 63% de los 89 millones de mexicanos elegibles para votar. En muchos sentidos fue una fiesta cívica adornada por signos evidentes de civilidad y madurez política: Los perdedores aceptaron su derrota en tiempo record y el ganador, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, extendió un ramo de olivo en aras de la reconciliación nacional.

Fue sin duda un proceso ejemplar de participación cívica que debería inspirar a todas las generaciones de votantes mexicanos, especialmente los jóvenes, a reconocer que el voto efectivamente cuenta y que al depositar el sufragio estamos poniendo nuestro grano de arena para definir el futuro de país que

queremos. La democracia no se agota en el voto, pero sin éste es imposible darle legitimidad y dirección.

Sin embargo, también quedaron expuestas grandes manchas que empañaron el proceso electoral, como los asesinatos de casi medio centenar de candidatos y las amenazas que obligaron a otros a dejar la contienda. Si el fin de la impunidad es una de las metas del próximo gobierno, esta es una zona de preocupación que merece atención. Es una dramática paradoja que una de las elecciones más concurridas en la historia de México, haya sido también una de las más violentas.

Los mexicanos en el exterior también se sumaron a la fiesta democrática. De acuerdo con cifras del Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE) un total de 98,854 mexicanos que residen en 106 países en el extranjero votaron

desde sus lugares de residencia. Aunque se trata de una cifra record, que rebasa con creces los experimentos de voto golondrino en elecciones presidenciales previas, es una proporción anémica si asumimos que más de 12 millones de mexicanos viven fuera de su país, la mayoría en Estados Unidos.

Es decir que menos del 1% de los mexicanos en el extranjero completaron el maratónico proceso que incluía solicitar la credencial del voto a través de la red consular mexicana, obtener por paquetería las boletas electorales y devolverlas por la misma vía a México.

Acaso la evidencia de que apenas un porcentaje magro de exiliados completó el proceso, haga repensar en métodos alternativos o complementarios.

Por ejemplo quienes cuenten con credenciales de voto válidas, podrían tener la opción

de votar por correo o en personas a través de la extensa red de consulados de México en Estados Unidos, un país donde se concentran alrededor de 8 cada diez votantes mexicanos en el exterior.

Se dice que muchos hispanos no votamos, ni en nuestros países de origen, ni en nuestros países adoptivos, porque venimos de países donde no siempre se respeta la santidad del sufragio. Eso parece ser cosa del pasado en el caso de México y debe ser un aliciente para que todos los mexicanos y aquellos con doble nacionalidad voten para ayudar a definir el destino de sus vidas sea en México o en el extranjero. Si el voto es nuestra voz, México gritó el primero de julio.

Glenda Vargas hated math. In 6th grade, a pivotal year for mastering early algebra concepts, she got an “F” in math class and felt defeated. “Math felt like a foreign language to me. I was so lost that one day I just broke down in tears in class,” she said.

La tasa de graduación en Estados Unidos subió a niveles récord en el 2017.

El problema Sin embargo, todavía hay aproximadamente 34 millones de adultos estadounidenses que no tienen un diploma de high school.

Por qué un diploma es importante En promedio, las personas con un diploma de high school pueden ganar 30 por ciento más que los adultos sin un diploma a lo largo de su vida, una diferencia de casi $10,000 por año, según los datos del Censo de EE. UU. Para muchos individuos, completar su educación secundaria como adultos es solo el comienzo del camino hacia un título universitario o una nueva carrera.

Dónde encontrar clases gratuitas Estudiar mientras al mismo tiempo uno trabaja y cuida la familia puede parecer difícil, pero ayuda, consejos y inspiración están muy cerca. Cada centro de educación para adultos colabora con los estudiantes nuevos para ubicarlos en las clases correctas y crear un plan de aprendizaje personalizado. Los maestros y tutores de cada programa ayudan a los alumnos a aprender el material y los apoyan a medida que obtienen su diploma.

Si usted o alguien que usted conoce no tiene un diploma de high school, visite www.

CompletaTuDiploma.org para encontrar un centro cercano y comenzar las clases.

Los nuevos anuncios de servicio público presentan historias personales de graduados recientes que obtuvieron sus diplomas de high school cuando tenían 20, 30 y 40 años de edad. La campaña también muestra a los

maestros que están ayudando a los estudiantes en camino hacia el logro de un diploma de equivalencia de high school. Los anuncios de servicio público destacan que los adultos sin un diploma de high school pueden contar con más apoyo de lo que creen; obtienen apoyo de maestros, amigos y familiares, mientras trabajan para continuar su educación Comparta su historia Si se graduó con un diploma de equivalencia de high school o está tomando clases para obtener su diploma, agradezca a las personas que lo ayudaron en el camino a su graduación — maestros, familiares y amigos. Use el hashtag #FinishYourDiploma (Completa tu Diploma) y describa una ocasión en la cual alguien lo ayudó a tener éxito con su educación o cuando usted ayudó a otra persona a alcanzar sus metas educativas. Podría ser algo tan simple como llevar a alguien a la escuela o a sus clases, o preparar comidas para que alguien pueda estudiar. Al usar #FinishYourDiploma, su historia también podría ser publicada en www.CompletaTuDiploma.org.

Recursos disponibles Desde su inicio en 2010, casi 5 millones de personas han visitado el sitio web CompletaTuDiploma.org y más de 1 millón de adultos en los 50 estados han obtenido ayuda para encontrar en su área clases gratuitas de preparación para exámenes.

El sitio tiene una base de datos de miles de centros de educación para adultos en todo el país; cada centro ofrece clases gratuitas para ayudar a las personas a estudiar para su GED, TASC o HiSET. El sitio web también proporciona historias de graduados, consejos, información sobre qué esperar en cuanto a los exámenes y una guía paso a paso para obtener su diploma.

Seeing her struggle through 7th and 8th grade, Glenda’s teacher at Crittenden Middle School in Mountain View recommended she enroll in a summer program called AVID Bridge, an intensive six-week math instruction and high school prep program presented by ALearn. The program also included science and English studies as well as leadership building. The program is tailored to low-income, underrepresented students in the South Bay and the Peninsula.

It was a life-changing experience for Glenda, who didn’t mind taking an early-morning bus from her home in Mountain View to Los Altos High School for the 7:00 AM program. “Everything changed for me that summer,” said the now 23-year-old, who was able to master Algebra I in the summer between 8th and 9th grade and advance to geometry as a high school freshman, thanks

While at Los Altos High, Glenda completed AP calculus, tutored math to at-risk Crittenden students, became a leader of the Latino Student Union, and was accepted to a number of 4-year colleges. She chose Chapman University in Southern California.

Glenda Vargas is the first in her family to go to college, a major achievement and point of pride for her and her family. She more than conquered the odds against her, considering that fewer than 26 percent of low-income students complete Algebra I, a gateway class to college. And fewer than 8 percent complete Algebra II. Statistics also show that nearly 21 percent of local Latino students drop out of high school.

Today, Glenda is headed to Santa Clara University to get her master’s degree in the Arts in Teaching Program. At the same time, she’ll be earning a teaching credential.

Her goal is to go back to her hometown school - Crittenden - to teach math to students who struggle with the subject, just like she did.

“I will be coming full circle. I’ll be coming home to help and inspire students who struggled with math just like me,” she said. “I feel like I’ll be making a difference back in my community.”

Undeniably, Glenda attributes her success to the ALearn summer program she took as a teen. She said she wouldn’t have been able to achieve it all without the inspiring program and its motivating teachers.

COUPLING FINANCES: WHAT ALL NEWLYWEDS SHOULD KNOW NewsUSA

iOS app.

Not only is it free and simple to use with handy checklists, but even before it was officially introduced two years ago by Fidelity - Get it?

"Fid Safe" - Barron's magazine gave the service five stars for being what it called "the first cloud-based safe deposit box we've seen that's secure enough to organize everything from financial statements, insurance policies, and real estate records to a will, IRA benefits, and even passwords."

Coupling finances.

It's a catchphrase that's been described as perhaps the first "I do" for newlyweds, and it's especially relevant as we head into wedding season. Because as much as you may think no two people have ever been more in love than you are - hey, look at the size of that engagement ring! - the truth is that it could be less than smooth sailing ahead if you're not on the same page when it comes to financial matters.

"Couples have a very hard time talking about money," Joan Atwood, a Hofstra University professor of marriage and family therapy bemoaned on an NPR "Money Coach" segment on the issue. "I would say it's the last taboo."

Ready to break it? Read on.

• Set common goals. You probably discussed this in a dreamy sort of way while dating. You know, a large house with a swimming pool ... yearly vacations. But turning those reveries into reality requires habitually saving to pay for them and finance your later retirement years not to mention deciding whether both partners contribute equally or based on salaries.

"The median ages for brides and grooms are 29 and 31, respectively, these days," said Andrew Peterson, a vice president at Fidelity

Investments (fidelity.com). "So, while people may come into a marriage with their own assets, they need to take some time after the wedding to sit down and start getting organized as a couple."

• Be transparent. There's no law that says you have to put all your cash into a joint savings account - some couples do, some don't - but at the very least you'd be "less than truthful" by not divulging any outstanding debts. And then figuring out, together, how to pay them down.

CÓMO GASTAR SU DINERO CON EMPRESAS QUE COMPARTEN SUS VALORES

* Safely store your information. Quick: What's your new spouse's Social Security number?

And what other vital information don't you know if a sudden need arises?

Exactly.

StatePoint Desde pequeñas compras de una sola vez a cuotas mensuales de servicio, quizás no piense mucho sobre lo que le ocurre a su dinero después de gastarlo.

Pero, más allá de las consideraciones habituales, tales como el precio o las

características del producto, muchos compradores inteligentes están empezando a elegir sus marcas y servicios con base en nuevos criterios como la ética. Una compañía ética trata a sus empleados y clientes de modo justo y practica la sostenibilidad ambiental. Por suerte, hay alguna orientación disponible para aquellos consumidores que quieren gastar su dinero

You get up to 5GB of storage, which leaves plenty of space left over once you download your new marriage license and the receipt for that engagement ring.

To truly mark your financial coupling, you might consider using an online service like FidSafe.com that lets you store, access and share all your new family's important records and documents anywhere via a web browser or

• Investigate this option. Do you both get health insurance through your employer?

Congrats. You may have just saved yourselves some money if it works out it's less expensive for one of you to be on the other's plan rather than pay for both.

"With all the other things on their to-do lists, newlyweds typically don't focus on all the important financial and other documents they need to begin married life on a solid footing," said Peterson. "This makes things easier for them from the start, as well as through the years as they have even more joint documents to retain - including those related to perhaps buying a house and having children."

Un buen recurso que se debe revisar es la lista de “Las compañías más éticas del mundo”, que se publica anualmente por el Ethisphere Institute. Ofrece una valoración cuantitativa del desempeño de las compañías en cuanto a gobernanza corporativa, riesgo, cumplimiento de normas de sostenibilidad y ética, y el saber que una empresa o marca ha puntuado alto en esta evaluación concreta puede aclarar sus dudas.

Suzanne Potter California News Service SACRAMENTO, Calif. - If we want to make sure kids count in policy making, we need to count kids effectively in the 2020 Census, according to the 2018 KIDS COUNT Data Book from The Annie E. Casey Foundation.

Billions of dollars in federal grants support programs such as Head Start preschool, special education, foster care, child care and more.

Kelly Hardy, senior managing director of health and research with the advocacy group Children Now, says California is particularly at risk because the state has a high population of immigrants and families with small children - groups that have been under-counted in the past.

"That's important for California, because there's an estimated potential under-count of 750,000 children in California in the Census, so the state has a lot to lose in federal funding and support for programs," she states.

The Data Book rated California 36th

in the country for overall child wellbeing, which is one point better than last year. The state is ranked 45th for economic well-being because of stubborn poverty.

One bright spot is child health.

California is ranked ninth in the nation, primarily because the state expanded Medicaid in 2015 to include undocumented children.

Laura Speer, associate director of policy reform and advocacy with the Casey Foundation, says the state and the federal government need to allocate more resources to help convince immigrant families that it is safe to participate in the Census.

"There is a lot of fear of whether or not the information in the Census might be used against families," she states. "So, it's important to make sure that groups like child-care providers, churches, schools and libraries are places where people feel safe to fill out the census form."

The Trump administration wants to add a question on citizenship to the 2020 Census - a move panned by advocacy groups as inflammatory and unnecessary, as the Constitution requires a count of all people, not all citizens.

Es poco probable que la decisión de la Suprema Corte de los EE.UU. en el caso Janus vs.

AFSCME tenga un impacto directo en empleados sin sindicato de negocios privados, porque la Primera Enmienda restringe la acción gubernamental, pero no la conducta privada.

Trimmel Gomes/Alfonso López-Collada Public News Service TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Dado que Florida ya es un estado con “derechos laborales”, no le impactó este miércoles el fallo de la Suprema Corte, el cual establece que los trabajadores de gobierno no pueden ser obligados a pagarle cuotas a los sindicatos que les representan en las negociaciones colectivas. Pero los grupos laborales de la Florida dicen que su caso debe ser una advertencia para los gremios incapacitados.

Quienes se oponen a la decisión que la Suprema Corte emitió el miércoles, liberando a los trabajadores de gobierno de la obligación de pagarle cuotas a sus uniones, están usando a Florida como ejemplo de qué tan malo puede ser eso para las familias trabajadoras de todo el país.

La decisión “Janus” venció por 5 a 4 a una regla de hace 41 años que permitía que los estados exigieran que los empleados públicos paguen algunas cuotas a las uniones que representan a su gremio, incluso si los trabajadores decidieran no pertenecer a ellas.

Pero tal decisión no le afecta al Estado Del Sol, “Sunshine State”, debido a una ley del “derecho al trabajo” que hace voluntarios los pagos de cuotas por negociaciones colectivas.

dificulta aún más a los trabajadores de América llegar al fin de mes.”

Mientras tanto, los conservadores alaban la norma como victoria para los trabajadores y sus derechos de la Primera Enmienda, argumentando que las cuotas sindicales estaban siendo usadas para fondear actividades políticas.

Limitar el poder de los sindicatos públicos ha sido una meta largamente perseguida por grupos conservadores. Seis estados han aprobado leyes de derecho al trabajo desde 2012, y Williams dice que ha visto los impactos.

El gobierno de Florida tiene más de 81 mil plazas representadas por un sindicato laboral, pero menos del 10 por ciento de los representados paga sus cuotas.

“Debo decirte que en los estados con derecho laboral, como Florida, hemos vivido esta decisión casi todos los días en un sistema que mina la libertad de tener una voz en el trabajo, te da una paga reducida, menos acceso a la salud y menos oportunidades de retirarte con dignidad.”

La corte basa su norma en la Primera Enmienda, diciendo que exigir pago a las uniones que negocian con el gobierno, obliga a los trabajadores a respaldar mensajes políticos que a veces chocan con sus convicciones.

Mike Williams, Presidente de Florida AFL-CIO, dice que el estado ya estaba sangrando a las familias trabajadoras que tienen bajos salarios, y ahora el resto del país sentirá lo mismo.

Williams replica que la negociación colectiva es diferente, y si un trabajador obtiene beneficios de la negociación colectiva, debe pagar. Agrega que los más de un millón de miembros del sindicato continuarán luchando unidos por las familias trabajadoras.

“Esto sigue la larga carrera de nuestra nación al fondo de los derechos laborales.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The Attorneys General from 20 states, including California's Xavier Becerra, have signed a letter to Congress, slamming two bills that would gut current state laws meant to protect people from predatory lenders.

HR 3299 and HR 4439 would clear the way for payday lenders to evade state usury laws and make loans with triple-digit interest rates, by making deals to operate under a bank's charter. Diane Standaert, executive vice president and director of state policy with the Center for Responsible Lending, called it a "rent-a-bank" scheme that would void any state consumer-protection laws that cap interest rates.

that their passage would open the predatory lending, with annual of 100-400 percent," Standaert states where they're currently not

One of the bills has already passed the House.

Supporters claim they would improve access to credit for low-income families and promote innovation in the financial sector. Opponents say ultra-high-interest loans only trap people in a cycle of worsening debt.

Standaert said California has weak usury laws that cap interest rates on loans under $300 but allow them to be rolled over into multiple loans that end up costing the borrower big-time if they are unable to pay off the initial loan. A bill to cap interest rates on car-title loans has passed the California Assembly and awaits a vote in the state Senate.

Standaert said Congress could supersede any such effort.

"This bill would essentially eviscerate California's ability to ever take action to rein in the cost of these really high-cost predatory loans," she said.

Recent efforts to strengthen the California usury laws have foundered. Assembly Bill 2500, which would have capped interest rates on some loans at 36 percent, failed in the state Assembly about a month ago.

Mexico blasts US for separating migrant families United States since zero tolerance went into effect, and which in the United States has set off a wave of rejection among the Democratic opposition and groups that defend the human rights of immigrants.

EFE Mexico City - The United States immigration policy of separating migrants' children from their parents violates human rights, Mexico's foreign secretary said Tuesday.

Mexican diplomats have visited detention centers and shelters as part of an "unprecedented" effort to protect Mexican migrants, Videgaray said.

"I wish, on behalf of the government and people of Mexico, to express our most categorical and energetic condemnation of this cruel and inhumane policy," Luis Videgaray told a press conference in the capital.

He said that while Mexico "fully" respects US sovereignty and Washington's right to control its borders, separating minors from their families is a violation of human rights.

According to official data, close to 2,000 migrant minors have been torn from their families on the border with Mexico in just six weeks, through the application

He noted that he is currently in direct contact with White House officials of the highest level, and that he sent the United States government a diplomatic note to "clearly express the rejection and condemnation of that policy."

of the US government's "zero tolerance" policy, which means treating undocumented people who enter the US like criminals.

Videgaray said Mexico has a "moral and constitutional responsibility" to do something about this

immigration policy, despite his explanation that scarcely a score of these children separated from their parents were Mexicans, and most of those have been repatriated.

He said that Mexico has doubled down on its consular work in the

Videgaray said that Mexico is working together with Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to "undertake joint actions."

People from Central America make up the majority of migrants intercepted at the border.

IS RIDESHARING VIA COMPANIES LIKE UBER AND LYFT GOOD OR BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT OVERALL? of carbon offsets in the world. Lyft plans to help achieve carbon neutrality through the direct funding of emission mitigation efforts in the U.S., including emissions reductions in the automotive manufacturing process, renewable energy programs, forestry projects, and the capture of emissions from landfills. Lyft CoFounders John Zimmer and Logan Green emphasize that this action is not the full solution, but a real step forward. “The more shared rides and clean vehicles on the platform, the fewer carbon offsets we will need to purchase,” they report.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk

Between fuel, maintenance and insurance, owning a vehicle is expensive—even more so in cities like New York, where residents pay an annual average of $430 for parking alone. It may be no surprise why the affordable, convenient enterprise of ridesharing, whereby you use a smartphone app to arrange a ride in a privatelyowned vehicle, has gained massive popularity in recent years and is expected to see even further growth (22.9 percent) in 2019. But is this shift from car ownership to ridesharing good for the environment overall?

Professor Daniela Rus of MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, who focuses on ways to reduce traffic congestion and otherwise improve mobility in major cities, thinks so. “Ride-sharing services have enormous potential for positive societal impact with respect to congestion, pollution and energy consumption.”

Perhaps the biggest environmental benefit to ridesharing is carpooling. Uber’s “POOL” option puts riders in the same car, with each individual rider paying less. Last year, Uber drivers served 35 million riders in POOL trips. If these riders had instead driven by themselves, cities might have seen an additional 314 million vehicle miles and 82,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide

emissions. Lyft has also set a goal to make shared rides account for 50 percent of all trips on the Lyft platform by the end of 2020.

Besides carpooling incentives, Uber is also expanding their app to provide customers with alternative forms of transport like electric bikes and buses. Their partnership with Jump Bikes, currently available in San Francisco, Sacramento and Santa Cruz, California and Washington, DC, can shift millions of trips from cars to bikes.

“We realized that we shared Uber’s vision of multi-modal mobility and had the same goal

of decreasing car ownership,” says Jump Bikes Founder and CEO Ryan Rzepecki. Uber is also working with transit agencies to help fill empty seats on buses and trains — which can be two to three times cleaner than a solo car drive—by allowing riders to book and use transit tickets in their app.

Additionally, in April 2018, Lyft announced their commitment to immediately offset the carbon emissions from all Lyft rides globally. Their first-year, multi-million-dollar investment will make Lyft one of the top voluntary purchasers

Enhancing the environmental benefits of ridesharing is an emerging effort across the entire industry. This past February, leading transport and ridesharing companies that account for a staggering 77 million passenger trips per day signed on to Shared Mobility Principles for Livable Cities, a coalition committed to prioritizing people over vehicles and reducing emissions in an increasingly congested and polluted urban environment. “Working together, we can have a real impact on congestion, making our cities easier to get around and more enjoyable to live in," said Joseph Okpaku, Vice President of Public Policy at Lyft.

If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

EFE Mexico City - Mexico's presidentelect, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, said Tuesday that the transition to his government will be orderly and peaceful without anything to be afraid of, after meeting with current President Enrique Peña Nieto at the National Palace.

"Throughout this period we must come to an agreement on many issues. Above all to make the transition orderly and peaceful, with nothing to be afraid of, while giving people confidence in our economic plans," said the leader of the leftist National Regeneration Movement (Morena) and winner of the July 1 presidential election.

Lopez Obrador said that until Mexico's Electoral Tribunal officially names him presidentelect, he won't start the transition of powers, which will go on until his inauguration on Dec. 1.

Mexico's future president also said he'll give up certain luxuries of the office like a security guard, the Los Pinos residence and the presidential airplane, as he promised during the campaign.

In addition, he said he will convert the official residence of Los Pinos into a "space for the arts and culture of the Mexican people" and that he won't live there.

"I've always believed that the people will look out for me, and that the person who fights for justice has nothing to fear," he said.

The winner of the election thanked Peña Nieto for "acting in a respectful manner" during the electoral process and said that "in general the elections were clean and free."

Lopez Obrador noted that in past elections - he ran for president unsuccessfully in 2006 and 2012 - he was hurt by "factional inter ventions," unlike on this occasion, where "citizens' votes were respected."

Matters he discussed with Peña Nieto included the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the construction of Mexico City's new airport, and energy reform, which has liberalized the hydrocarbon industries.

The meeting began punctually at 11:00 am at the National Palace, after the Morena leader made a flamboyant appearance surrounded by the media and his followers.

More than 89 million Mexicans went to the polls this July 1, making these elections the most voluminous in the nation's histor y.

Besides choosing the new president, voters elected 128 senators, 500 lawmakers, eight governors and the head of the Mexico City government, along with thousands of local officials.

SIETE DATOS CONFIDENCIALES SOBRE PIXAR QUE SE

PODRÁN DESCUBRIR EN EL NUEVO LAMPLIGHT LOUNGE

El restaurante elegante esta abierto ahora en Disney California Adventure Park

5. Como en los “Easter eggs” o las sorpresas ocultas en los filmes de Pixar, hay muchos guiños a la cultura del estudio en Lamplight Lounge, incluyendo nombres de bebidas.

Cuando repasen el menú, los visitantes se darán cuenta de las referencias a Pixar Animation Studios, sus filmes y el proceso de producción. Por ejemplo, los visitantes pueden pedir un Park Ave. (bebida alcohólica), que hace referencia al nombre de la calle en la que Pixar Animation Studios está enclavada en Emeryville, California, o el Goofball Island (sin alcohol), llamada como una de las islas de la personalidad de Riley en el filme “Inside Out”.

ANAHEIM, Calif.– Lamplight Lounge, el nuevo restaurante que abrió sus puertas el 23 de junio en Pixar Pier, ofrece servicio de mesa, gastronomía estilo gastro-pub y vistas panorámicas de Paradise Bay, además de historias “confidenciales” en sus paredes. La decoración de Lamplight Lounge es un homenaje a los narradores que han creado las entrañables películas y cortometrajes de Pixar.

El elegante restaurante en Disney California Adventure Park celebra la creatividad, inspiración y personalidades de los artistas y narradores que han dado vida a las historias de Pixar. Los visitantes descubrirán muchos detalles artísticos únicos que los “regulares” de Pixar han dejado esparcidos por el establecimiento. Desde bocetos en posavasos hasta arte conceptual y objetos de recuerdo en las paredes, la decoración en Lamplight Lounge revela siete datos confidenciales sobre Pixar.

1. Pixar rinde homenaje a los primeros bocetos artísticos de los entrañables filmes de Pixar y los fans encontrarán ese material entre la decoración de Lamplight Lounge. Los visitantes que miren arriba, o “Up”, verán una preciosa araña colgando del techo de Lamplight Lounge. La araña cuenta con bocetos y frases de varios filmes de Pixar, incluyendo “Coco”, “Finding Nemo”, “The Incredibles” y más. El diseño incluye páginas en blanco arriba del todo que representan uno de los pasos más difíciles en el proceso de diseño: empezar desde cero. Y también se

de las estanterías se encuentran ejemplos de comentarios y notas intercambiadas entre Pixar y sus socios de manufacturación para asegurarse que el producto final es lo más cercano posible al filme. Cada juguete pasa por varias etapas de notas en diversas formas, incluyendo dibujos, críticas creativas e incluso video conferencias.

incluyen arte de personajes creado por los artistas en distintos departamentos de Pixar.

2. Cuando un filme está en fase de producción en Pixar, los departamentos crean y se ponen camisetas que celebran la producción del filme. Los visitantes podrán echar una mirada a una tradición de Pixar poco conocida en el muro de las camisetas del Lamplight Lounge. Las camisetas en exhibición son ejemplos de la celebración de un logro, una referencia humorística, una broma interna o incluso la experiencia de un departamento o su influencia en el filme. Las numerosas camisetas también muestran la enorme cantidad de departamentos que necesitan trabajar juntos en un filme de Pixar.

3. Una mesa de conferencias en Pixar Animation Studios incluye los moldes de los juguetes que fueron creados para el filme de Disney•Pixar, “Cars”, un ejemplo de la animación de los artistas.

Muchas piezas de la decoración de Lamplight Lounge están inspiradas en el diseño creativo interior del campus que aloja a Pixar Animation Studios.

Una es una mesa dentro del restaurante que es una réplica de la de “Cars”. localizada en una de las salones de conferencia de Pixar.

visitantes descubrirán algunos de los recuerdos de los filmes en el muro de arte de Lamplight Lounge, incluyendo arte conceptual, materiales de referencias, piezas y versiones físicas de los artefactos de los filmes, incluyendo “WALL•E”, “Toy Story” y “Ratatouille”.

Por ejemplo, los visitantes puede que vean el dibujo de Bing Bong en el área de “Inside Out”. Cuando los dibujos de Bing Bong empezaron a parecerse demasiado al trabajo de los adultos tratando de dibujar como niños, los artistas de Pixar solicitaron la ayuda de una niña de 7 años, hija de un empleado de Pixar.

7. Los equipos talentosos de Pixar a menudo comparten notas escritas a mano durante la creación de un filme, y algunas de estas notas son exhibidas en Lamplight Lounge. Estas notas aparecen en el Lamplight Lounge como homenaje a los narradores de Pixar.

Por ejemplo, en el boceto de la araña y en el pasillo que conduce a los baños, los visitantes encontrarán algunas de las frases icónicas de los filmes de Pixar que fueron escritas a mano por los empleados de Pixar. Una que los aficionados al cine encontrarán familiar es: “¡¿DÓNDE. ESTÁ. MI. SÚPER. TRAJE?!”, de “The Incredibles”.

A LOOK AT DISNEY CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE'S PIXAR PIER A Boardwalk of Animation and Thrills Has Opened Up Next to Disneyland

JULY 6 - 12, 2018

characters from Pixar’s “Wall-E”, and their newest IP, “Coco”. These are additional picture-perfect moments to capture at the Pier.

merchandise in one place, second only to the actual Pixar Animation Studio Store in Emeryville.

New Pixar themed food and merchandise options are also to be had, with Ariel's Grotto restaurant being turned into The Lamplight Lounge. (For the Spanish speakers, there is a lot more info on the Lounge on page 17). The Lamplight in particular has a gastropub feel to it, with great Pixar theming and enough food and drink options to satisfy adults as well as children. Try the freshly made donuts if visiting.

One of the final interesting notes about Pixar Pier is that it’s not done with its reconstruction. There are still two more rides to be opened, “Toy Story” themed Jessie's Critter Carousel and “Inside Out” themed Emotional Whirlwind. These will open in 2019, I imagine on the heels of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. As a fan of Disneyland, it’s a great time to visit, and an ever-changing place that makes for revisiting old classics and trying out new ones.

Exclusive Disney/Pixar merchandise is available for a limited time too, including some items that I foresee as new staples in the Disney parks Mickey ears and clothing.

If you’re a Pixar fan, it’s a treasure trove of

As you exit the pier at nighttime you are greeted with a sign only meant for those walking out (or looking back as they walk in). Taken from the movie “Up”, it reads: “ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!”

If you haven’t been to Disneyland resort in a while, there’s quite a few changes happening.

From the upcoming 2019 opening of the hotly anticipated Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to the updates to Disney’s California Adventure, as well as new updates to old rides and the technology of Disney’s food ordering, there is opportunity to get on revamped rides, and experience the new world inside Anaheim’s Disneyland Resort.

The newest entry, a year before Star Wars’ world opens, can be found across from Mickey’s HQ. I’m talking about Pixar Pier, the rethemed, Pixar Animation Studios centric boardwalk that has replaced what was Paradise Pier.

Since the opening of Disneyland California Adventure (DCA), in 2001 Paradise Pier was a staple of the California themed land across from the Disneyland theme park.

While it’s less California now and more of a place to access the wide range of intellectual properties belonging to Disney, there still sits a sense of the state and allure of California in some of the rides and the architecture.

With Paradise Pier, the world of Victorian era boardwalks and amusement parks along the California coasts in the 1800’s is remade around a man-made lagoon. Complete with carnival style games and food items, the section of DCA was popular through the years, while other portions of the park were redesigned or outright removed, like the large “California” letters decorating the front of the entrance to the park.

Up until it’s reskinning with Pixar, rides

THIRD WORLD AND JORDAN T.

included the large gondola ferris wheel called Mickey’s Fun Wheel as well as the highly kinetic roller coaster called California Screamin’. Now though, as we look at the attractions through the lens of the Pixar universe, we get the Pixar Pal-A-Round as the new look for the Mickey’s Fun Wheel, and the highest anticipated ride from this new world, the Incredicoaster, the new version of the DCA rollercoaster.

If you’ve had a chance to get on either of these rides before, there won’t be anything too far astray from the original experiences, except some added Pixar characters adorning the gondolas on the Fun Wheel. The large Mickey Mouse face that was a great photo op of the pier is still there, keeping the fun atmosphere people have come to expect at DCA intact.

The Incredicoaster does change up the original ride by adding new features related to Pixar’s “The Incredibles”. The route of the rollercoaster remains unchanged but these newly added narrative features to the ride and tunnels which harbor some great effects and lighting make the coaster closer to a Disneyland “dark ride” experience. Riding it several times during the media event had my adrenaline going for a whirl, but also kept me entertained because of the newly recorded audio narration, which is best left to the rider to experience. All in all, a nice upgrade to an already exciting roller coaster.

While California Screamin’ was a sleek, no frills roller coaster on a boardwalk, the Incredicoaster gives you that plus more.

Among the rides, there is retheming of merchandise booths, food stands, as well as the pier’s gallery, which was a walk along the boardwalk with advertisements and billboards. Now they include beach themed announcements and messaging featuring

Mario Jiménez Castillo El Observador Esta advocación de la Virgen es una de las más solemnes y misteriosas, muchos fieles dan testimonio de haber sido sanados de muchos padecimientos e inclusive de enfermedades terminales a través de esta veneración. Otros, afirman haber visto en sueños la imagen de la Virgen, especialmente cuando comienzan a rezar una novena dedicada a Ella. Marcia García, una creyente de esta advocación, nos relató como su vida cambió, como fue sanada de un raro padecimiento, del cuál los médicos no encontraban explicación. “Padecí más de un año de un mal extraño que me impedía trabajar y vivir una vida normal. Fue un martirio, en mi desesperación busque ayuda espiritual, pero nada funcionaba. Hasta que una cartomántica me sugirió invocar a la Virgen Desata nudos, fue tanta mi fe puesta en mis rezos, la que me llevó a un proceso de curación, fue un milagro, recalcó Marcia”.

La devoción a la Virgen Desata nudos tuvo su origen en Ausburgo,

Alemania, durante el siglo XVIII. Fue a finales de ese mismo siglo que esta devoción comenzó a ser conocida en otros países de Europa como España, Portugal e Italia, poco después trascendió las fronteras europeas llegando al continente americano. Argentina ha sido una nación en la cual la veneración a la Virgen Desata nudos ha sido acogida por los fieles con gran devoción y entera solemnidad, por lo cual fue entronizada en San José del Talar el día 8 de diciembre del 2006. La Virgen Desata nudos es una advocación de la Inmaculada Concepción con la luna bajo sus pies. Han sido tantos los milagros que le adjudican los creyentes, por lo que más de treinta mil fieles asisten a rendirle honores el día 8 de cada mes. La pintura original de la Virgen Desata nudos se encuentra en la iglesia San Peter Am Perlach, obra de Johann Melchior Schmittdner y data del año 1700. A través de la gran devoción que se tiene en Argentina, la milagrosa Virgen Desata nudos es hoy ampliamente conocida, invocada y venerada en todos los países hispano parlantes. Muchos fieles también le veneran y le piden ayuda para resolver problemas de matrimonio y solucionar conflictos de pareja y querellas familiares.

Oración Santa Maria, Madre de Dios y Madre nuestra, tú que con espíritu de madre divina desatas los nudos que entorpecen nuestra existencia, te pedimos que nos recibas en tus santas manos y nos libres de ataduras e intrigas con que nos hostiga quien nos muestra hostilidad. Por tu gracia, benevolencia y divino ejemplo, líbranos de todo mal y acércanos al poder del bien de nuestro, Señor Jesucristo.

PSYCHIATRIST: MORE RESEARCH NEEDED ON GAMING DISORDER

Eric Tegethoff Public News Service SEATTLE A psychiatrist in Washington State says it's important that the World Health Organization is recognizing online gaming addiction as a disorder, but more research is needed to fully understand and treat it.

The American Psychiatric Association has yet to recognize gaming disorder, noting that more study of the condition is necessary.

Dr. Andrew Saxon, a professor at the University of Washington who chairs the Council on Addiction Psychiatry, said the WHO's definition of gaming disorder is associated with other conditions - such as depression, anxiety and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Desata pues Señora nuestra, los nudos que impiden la noble unión con el Señor, para que libres de toda confusión y error, lo encontremos en todas las cosas. Del mismo modo, tengamos en Él, puestos nuestros corazones, nuestra fe y esperanza.

"So that raises the question of whether people who have depression or anxiety, or some other psychiatric disorder, might be more prone to develop the constellation of signs and symptoms that we're calling gaming disorder," he said.

Amén.

Saxon said people with serious video-game addictions usually are socially isolated as well, but he called it a "chicken or egg" situation. Is time spent on these games keeping a person from interacting with other people? Or does gaming disorder

take over someone's life, leading to isolation? Saxon said it's likely the World Health Organization is recognizing the disorder because of its high prevalence in Asia, compared with the United States.

Saxon said there have been no rigorous studies of what works to treat gaming addiction, so medical professionals should exercise caution when diagnosing it.

"It's tough to make a diagnosis as a health-care provider," he said, "and then say, 'Oh, well, I don't really know what to offer you for sure, to treat this condition.' " Saxon said it's a much trickier addiction than others. For instance, people with alcohol or gambling addict,ions can avoid them more easily and still function in society than people who play games online.

"What we struggle with is," he said, "it's hard to tell people, 'Well, you absolutely can't go online or do anything which is going to be a trigger for the gaming - even if, for example, they're just going to look up some information for a school research project."

He noted that the World Health Organization's announcement will stimulate more research on this topic, which is a good thing for the field.

5 AI CLOUDS YOU CAN USE TODAY

Far and away the most popular suite of cloudbased AI tools, Amazon Machine Learning on AWS (Amazon Web Services) is the industry leader in several areas of AI as evidenced by the company’s own use of its technology. Amazon machine learning tools help Amazon increase productivity in fulfillment centers, power its recommendation engine, enable Alexa Voice Services, and even fly its drones.

• Visual Recognition (Face recognition, automatic tagging, metadata, video indexing)

2. Google AI

• Text to Speech • Language Translation

• Natural Processing

The sensationalist hype around AI has a lot of people believing that the technology may be too advanced or too technical for their businesses to take advantage of. This is false. AI is here now and you can start using it today.

What Can You Do With AI Today?

In casual conversation, people tend to conflate narrow focused AI, where a training set is crafted to perform specific tasks, with the inevitable (but not yet created) AGI “artificial general intelligence,� which (in theory) will be able to learn to do anything and possibly be selfaware. It’s an easy mistake to make, but it is a mistake none-the-less.

1. Amazon and Machine Learning on AWS

The AI tools outlined below do specific tasks and they all have certain features in common. Almost all of them allow you to work with unstructured data. They all have the ability to assist you in data-driven decision making, and all have interfaces that allow non-technical people to use AI for real projects and get meaningful results.

For example, today you can use AI for:

start using today.

• Sentiment Analysis (Social media, email, etc.) • Automate Workflows • Pattern Matching and Pattern Finding These tasks can be applied to an incredibly wide range of business problems and processes. With that in mind, here are five AI clouds you can

Google AI has some of the world’s most sophisticated AI tools. Google’s Brain Team is in charge of organizing the Internet. All of it.

And its Deep Mind subsidiary created AlphaGo, AlphaGoZero and AlphaZero – the AI system that ultimately taught itself to become the best Go, Chess, and Shogi player in the world.

Google Translate not only translates, it can provide an augmented reality experience that literally transforms words on your smartphone screen from a language you do not speak to the one you do. So it should not surprise you to learn that Google AI has a large suite of pre-trained models and a service to generate your own tailored models.

3. Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services has an impressive array of AI tools you can try for free.

It offers excellent Vision recognition tools, a full suite of Speech and Natural Language tools and comprehensive knowledge processing models

4. IBM Watson Watson, famous for beating Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter (the two best human players at the time) on Jeopardy in 2011, now offers a full suite of cognitive computing tools and enjoys a robust developer community.

5. MonkeyLearn MonkeyLearn offers easy-to-use text analysis with machine learning. You can apply it to all kinds of projects such as social media sentiment analysis or finding common threads in a million email messages. The company also offers a toolset to help implement NLP features.

The Promise of AI In practice, AI exponentially amplifies the power of the human brain. Experts believe this increase in productivity will equal or exceed that of the steam engine, which exponentially amplified the power of human muscles and enabled us to build the world we live in today. If AI achieves a fraction of what has been promised, we are on the cusp of a massive digital transformation. At the very least, using some of these exceptional AI tools will help you increase productivity right now. And, building on that success, the knowledge you gain may help you innovate in ways you have yet to imagine.
