AUGUST 17 - 23, 2018

BAIL BOND REFORM: PASS SENATE BILL 10

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR EO recommends that registered voters encourage their CA State Assembly elected representatives, both State Senators and Assembly members to vote YES to enact Senate Bill 10 Bail Bond Reform; Pretrial Release. As Section I documents, during 2016, 66% of County jail inmates were being detained simply because these individuals could not pay for a bail bond.

Low income individuals who did not have the wealth to purchase a bail bond are incarcerated to ensure their appearance whenever their case is considered by a court. The social costs of this practice are enormous; they have never been estimated.

For decades this practice has existed with the result that jail overcrowding happens. In Santa Clara County, Sheriff Laurie Smith has already presented the Board of Supervisors with a proposal to modernize and expand this county's jails. Some 30% of jailed inmates have mental health issues and really would be better served if a mental health/psychiatric facility was made available.

It was through a report about the Realignment Project which transfers CA State Prison inmates back to the county jails that EO learned the following: The Department of Corrections,

County of Santa Clara operates the county's jails whose capacity is 3,800 inmates (includes both men and women).

This cohort is composed of 50% Hispanics; 12% African-Americans and 3% Asian-Americans.

Clearly, of the 1,900 incarcerated Hispanics, half (950 individuals) are awaiting their court hearing simply because of their lack of enough money to purchase and post a bail bond. Senate Bill 10 would change things.

This practice has large social costs which have not been brought to the community's attention. When the family's wage-earner is jailed for his/her inability to post a bail bond, it is the family that endures the following: a) Loss of wage income and perhaps the job; b) sudden burdening of the wife (mother or significant other) of all responsibility for the financial affairs of their family unit; c) loss of parental guidance and training at home of their children; d) a need for increased health services (SCVMC), including mental health counseling; e) required support by the county's social safety net services provided by the Social Services Agency welfare programs. And I am certain there are several more unrecognized outcomes, such as a child's diminished school performance when a parent is jailed.

Supervisor Cindy Chavez has been the champion of this County of Santa Clara's most recent effort to do something about this bail bond pre-trial release program.

As I recall, a non-profit founda-

tion was formed which provides and posts the necessary bail bond for those who are impoverished enough to be unable to post a bail bond without assistance.

An opportunity exists today to enact appropriate legislation (Senate Bill 10 Pre-Trial Release).

It may be that the CA Correctional Officer's Union may be opposed because the enactment of Senate Bill 10 may result in reduction of jail inmate populations currently requiring 24-7 protective custody services.

EO recommends that all registered voters prepare a contact information tabulation sheet which contains all contact information (email addresses, phone numbers, office hours and addresses) which enable sending your jurisdiction's elected officials your thoughts and recommendations. Your personalized elected official listing could list: local County Supervisors, CA State Senator and your Assembly member, Federal Senators (Dianne Feinstein and Kamala Harris), and your jurisdiction’s House of Representative elected member.

By already having this listing on your iPad or smart phone, you could easily inform your elected officials your opinion about pending legislation. In this case of CA Senate Bill 10 Bail Bond Reform; Pre-Trial Release. EO highly recommends telling your CA State Assembly elected officials to vote YES to enact Senate Bill 10.

You may review this legislation by googling “Senate Bill 10,

California”, as I did. I learned that this legislation is presented using 16,000 words. Much of the wording is legalese which is needed to deal with specific items which are being changed or impacted. These items include the judicial codes; criminal codes and documenting that this legislation was properly considered and enacted.

I recommend that you personally google Senate Bill 10 to review the 'LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST' and read the captions of its 41 sections.

For example, begin with Section 1. “The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) Modernization of the pretrial system is urgently needed in California, where thousands of individuals held in county jails across the state have not been convicted of a crime and are detained while awaiting trial simply because they cannot afford to post money bail or pay a commercial bail bond company.

In 2015, 63 percent of people in California jails were either awaiting trial or sentencing. In 2016, the percentage of people in California jails awaiting trial or sentencing rose to 66 percent.

As compared with the rest of the country, California has relied on pretrial detention at much higher rates than other states.”

EO projects that the enactment of “Senate Bill 10, Bail Bonn; Retrial Release” will mitigate much wrongful oppressions which low income families endure. This Senate Bill 10 needs your active encouragement communicated to

your CA State Assembly elected officials so as to counter-act the lobbying influence of the bail bond industry and all those who profit from the enforcement of current laws which need urgent change.

Understand that the Hispanic community already is 40% of CA's total population. The Latino community needs to 'get out its voting clout' this coming Tuesday, November 6, 2018 when the Mid- Term election happens.

Plan to vote in your community's best interest on that day.

It is only right and proper to have individuals to be released on their 'own recognizance' especially when their community's safety and security is not endangered, and none have committed violent crimes; nor are drug addicts; nor are sexual predators.

Tell all your elected officials at the CA State Assembly (Sacramento, CA) that you want “BAIL BOND REFORM: PRETRIAL RELEASE...PASS SENATE BILL 10. *Addendum: Consider giving El Observador Foundation, Inc. (IRS Section 501(c)(3) non-profit) a $20 donation once every year.

EL RACISMO, VIVITO Y COLEANDO José López Zamorano La Red Hispana Washington- A un año de la movilización de nacionalistas blancos de Charlottesvile, podría pensarse que el supremacismo anda de capa caída en los Estados Unidos.

A la marcha realizada el fin de semana en Washington para conmemorar su primer aniversario, sus organizadores sólo lograron convocar a unos 40 creyentes en la superioridad de la raza blanca, mientras que los opositores a esa visión racista sumaron miles. Los gritos de “No Trump, No KKK” ahogaron las voces que buscan profundizar y exacerbar las heridas raciales de la nación, que siguen siendo llagas abiertas en muchas partes del país.

Es enteramente posible comulgar con el nacionalismo y el aislacionismo económico

–cierre de fronteras y abrogación del libre comercio- sin ser supremacista. También es cierto que Donald Trump no inventó ni el racismo ni la xenofobia. Pero su decisión de no condenar de inmediato los sucesos de Charlottesville y sus frecuentes expresiones prejuiciosas y difamatorias contra los inmigrantes mexicanos, llevan para muchos una carga racista y xenofóbica deliberada.

las fobias de los estadounidenses blancos trabajadores –que se sienten amenazados culturalmente por los migrantes color café con leche y desplazados económicamente por los extranjeros—con un discurso divisivo, anti-inmigrante, xenofóbico y aislacionista para montar su campaña de reelección, sin importar si se lleva a los republicanos entre las piernas.

Por eso hay razón para poner bajo el microscopio la sinceridad del mensaje presidencial, en su cuenta de Twitter, donde Trump condena “todos los tipos” de racismo y actos de violencia. En lugar de condenar el “racismo” a secas, el presidente incluye la noción de “todos los tipos de racismo”, presumiblemente para incluir actos racistas contra blancos.

Sólo basta leer las encuestas que muestran que los estadounidenses blancos que votaron por Trump son el segmento que se siente más discriminado en los Estados Unidos, por encima de los judíos o de los hispanos.

Para esos votantes, las palabras como “muro”, “tolerancia cero” o “prohibición de viajes” son música para sus oídos. Que Trump machaque estas ideas no es ni casual ni gratuito, es una estrategia política intencional, aún si con ello divide más al país

La redacción de la condena presidencial confirma que Trump ha decidido alimentar

El resultado está a la vista. El año pasado los crímenes de odio crecieron en 12% en las 10 ciudades más grandes del país, lo que representa su nivel más alto en más de una década y su cuarto año de aumentos consecutivos. Trump, en efecto, no creó los crímenes de odio, pero han florecido bajo su presidencia.

Así que no, el racismo y la xenofobia no andan en capa caída. Están vivitos y coleando, animados y envalentonados por la retorica presidencial. Y la manera de confrontarlos y denunciarlos, es mantenernos educados, informados y movilizados. Y quienes debemos estar al frente somos los propios afectados, los migrantes, las minorías y los marginados. No podemos dejar que otros hagan el trabajo por nosotros.

COMING CHANGES MAY PUT COLLEGES IN AN ADAPT-OR-PERISH SITUATION

When business owners investigate the future and see big changes coming that will impact their revenue stream, they adapt new strategies, or their businesses die.

Higher education in the United States now faces that same challenge as enrollments of the traditional 18 to 23-year-old students continue to decline.

“Higher education is headed for a major sea change and the only colleges and universities that will survive will be those that adapt aggressive strategies to address those changes now,” says Andrew Simon, a partner in Simon Associate Management Consultants (www. simonassociates.net). “The higher education model of the last 50 years is about to become obsolete.”

Simon, who has performed strategic work for higher learning institutions, says one of the major reasons for the coming realignment is the disconnect between schools and workplaces.

“Colleges seem to have a built-in bias against the needs of industry,” says Simon. ‘The college administrations and faculty of many institutions of higher learning appear to have a reluctance to understand what their students will need to succeed after they leave the university.

Employers say that sending students out with the technical skills is not enough. Students entering the workforce need people skills.

They need to communicate, coordinate, collaborate and creatively solve problems, says Simon.

The demographics among traditional college age students suggest that the demand for higher education has peaked. The next

generation will have fewer college students, Simon says, and those that do go to college will encounter escalating expenses. Consequently, they are going to pay more attention to their return on investment. “Work or career readiness” will be key.

Simon notes that these are the changes that the colleges of the future are going to have to face: • Adult learners will be the new key to survival. The need for lifelong learning will continue to increase while there will be a drop in the number of traditional students who enter college right after high school. Adult learners will need new (people) skills and new organizational models.

• Women are outnumbering men. This trend will continue into the future.

• There will be more Latinos and African Americans attending college.

• Sacred norms will be challenged. Traditional colleges are going to have to re-examine their business model, their tenured faculty, their dependence on adjuncts, and the role of classrooms as the prefered method of delivery.

Other long held traditional beliefs will also be challenged.

• Future students will examine more closely return on investment (ROI). As the costs of higher education continuing to rise, the ROI may not justify the expense unless something dramatic begins to transform that college experience, so it becomes more relevant for the needs of the workplace.

“In order to survive,” Simon says, “institutions of higher learning are going to have to become more integrated with employers because students will be more motivated to get an education that helps them be thoroughly prepared for their career.”

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. – The Santa Clara County Library District (SCCLD) is introducing four new mini bookmobiles to expand outreach into each of its communities. Named “Go Go Biblios,” three of these electric vehicles will be based at the Cupertino, Los Altos and Saratoga libraries, thanks to the generous funding provided by the Friends of the Cupertino Library, Los Altos Library Endowment and Friends of the Saratoga Libraries. The fourth vehicle will be shared between Campbell, Gilroy, Milpitas and Morgan Hill libraries. The Go Go Biblios have a mission to share the love of reading and learning with the public through their cargo of books and other media.

“Our Go Go Biblios will allow more opportunities to interact with the community,” stated Nancy Howe, County Librarian. “We want to bring the library directly to the public to introduce the many books, movies, music, programs, and online resources we have to offer all ages.”

The vehicles can hold up to 200 books/ media and are fully electric. The panels lift up on both sides, revealing the materials available for check out. With a maximum speed of 25 mph and a limited service range, the Cupertino, Los Altos and Saratoga Go Go Biblios will be deployed within their local communities, while the fourth vehicle will visit the many other communities throughout the Library District.

BBB IS HELPING KEEP COLLEGE STUDENTS SAFE FROM IDENTITY THEFT

headed by individuals aged 18-24 may be even more likely than average to experience identity theft.

College students may feel as though they have nothing to lose since they’re just starting out in life, but the sooner they learn how to protect their identities, the better.

BBB offers the following tips to students to help ensure the only thing they’ll have to worry about this year is their midterms: • Securely store personal documents. Keep only what you need in your wallet or purse and keep everything else in a safe, including your laptop and any other devices that contain sensitive information.

This includes credit cards, your driver’s license, and anything that includes your Social Security Number (SSN) or other sensitive information. Make sure to shred documents that contain personal information before throwing them away.

Going off to college is one of the biggest steps in a person’s life. It not only symbolizes higher learning, but it also represents independence and freedom that comes with being a young adult. Moreover, college students soon realize that there are important responsibilities that come with being on

their own, such as keeping their personal identity safe.

In 2017, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) received over 350,000 identity theft complaints nationwide and over 55,000 in California alone.

For people aged 20-29 nationwide, there were over 70,000 identity theft reports and overall, younger people reported losing money to fraud more often than older people by 40%. Consumer Reports, a BBB Accredited Charity, also notes that households

• Protect yourself with strong passwords and PINs. Secure all online accounts with strong passwords.

Passwords should be long and unique, and don’t use the same password for multiple accounts. Turn on multi-factor authentication if possible. Write passwords down on a piece of paper and store it in your safe, don’t keep them on any device. You can also use a password manager, just make sure to check out the business on bbb.org first. Make sure all your devices are protected by a password.

Be careful using public Wi-Fi, you may be exposing yourself to scammers. Learn more about password safety at bbb.org/passwords and read more about the dangers of public Wi-Fi here.

• Watch out for scams. In 2017, students nationwide reported more than 6,000 scams to BBB Scam Tracker. Most of the scams pertained to

BBB ofrece los siguientes consejos a los estudiantes para ayudar a asegurar que lo único que tendrán que preocuparse por este año son sus exámenes: • Almacene documentos personales de forma segura. Guarde sólo lo que necesita en su billetera o monedero y guarde todo lo demás en una caja fuerte, incluyendo su laptop y cualquier otro dispositivo que contenga información confidencial. Esto incluye tarjetas de crédito, su licencia de conducir, y cualquier cosa que incluya su número de seguro social (SSN) u otra información confidencial. Asegúrese de purgar documentos que contengan información personal antes de tirarlos a la basura.

Ir a la Universidad es uno de los pasos más grandes en la vida de una persona. No sólo simboliza el aprendizaje superior, sino que también representa la independencia y la libertad que viene con ser un adulto joven. Además, los estudiantes universitarios pronto se dan cuenta de que hay responsabilidades importantes que vienen con estar por su cuenta, tales como mantener su identidad personal segura.

En 2017, la Comisión Federal de Comercio

(FTC) recibió más de 350.000 quejas por robo de identidad en todo el país y más de 55.000 en California solamente. Para las personas mayores de 20-29 en todo el país, había más de 70.000 informes de robo de identidad y en general, los jóvenes reportaron perder dinero al fraude más a menudo que las personas mayores en un 40%.

Consumer Reports, una organización benéfica acreditada por BBB, también señala que los hogares encabezados por personas de 18-24 a la edad pueden ser aún más propensos que el promedio a experimentar el robo de identidad.

Los estudiantes universitarios pueden sentirse como si no tuvieran nada que perder ya que están comenzando en la vida, pero cuanto antes

• Protéjase con contraseñas y pines fuertes.

Asegure todas las cuentas en línea con contraseñas seguras. Las contraseñas deben ser largas y únicas, y no utilizar la misma contraseña para varias cuentas. Si es posible, active la autenticación de varios factores. Escriba las contraseñas en un trozo de papel y guárdelas en su caja fuerte, no las guarde en ningún dispositivo. También puede utilizar un gestor de contraseñas, sólo asegúrese de comprobar el negocio en bbb.org primero.

Asegúrese de que todos sus dispositivos están protegidos por una contraseña. Tenga cuidado con Wi-Fi público, usted puede estar exponiendo a los estafadores. Obtenga más información sobre la seguridad de las contraseñas en bbb.org/ passwords y Lea más sobre los peligros del Wi-Fi público aquí.

• Cuidado con las estafas. En 2017, los estudiantes de todo el país reportaron más de 6.000 estafas a BBB Scam Tracker. La mayoría de las estafas pertenecían al empleo que se clasificó como el tipo de estafa arriesgadas para los estudiantes el año pasado.

employment which ranked as the riskiest scam type for students last year. Learn how to protect yourself from a variety of scams at bbb.org/scamtips. It’s also important to not over-share on social media.

Consumer Reports notes that “fraudsters can mine social media posts for information that could help them get past account security questions on various sites.”

• Don’t give away your SSN unless it’s absolutely necessary. Your SSN, financial information, and other personal information should only be given out on a need-to-know basis. If you’re prompted to share your SSN, first ask if there’s another way to identity yourself. If you don’t have a choice and can’t avoid using the service (e.g., to see your class or grade information), make sure that you trust the institution or person who needs it. The fewer people that know your personal information, the better.

Be wary sending personal information through the mail, as it could be stolen. Online, look for the “https” in the URL, where the “s” stands for “secure”.

• Stay on top of your credit. Checking your credit report is one of the best ways to catch instances of identity theft. In the U.S., you have the right to check your credit report with each of the three credit bureaus once per year at www.annualcreditreport. com. Space these checks out across the year, and you will know fairly quickly if something is awry.

The best line of defense against identity theft is to guard your personal information. For more tips on avoiding identity theft, visit bbb.org/identitytheft.

If you’ve had your identity stolen, visit identitytheft. gov to learn next steps, and then report it BBB Scam Tracker.

You can reach your BBB at info@bbbemail.org or (510) 844-2000, or by visiting bbb.org. es importante no compartir demasiado en los medios sociales. Consumer Reports señala que "los estafadores pueden minar los mensajes de los medios sociales para obtener información que podría ayudarles a hacer preguntas sobre seguridad de cuentas pasadas en varios sitios".

• No le des tu SSN a menos que sea absolutamente necesario. Su número de seguro social, información financiera y otra información personal sólo deben ser dados en base a la necesidad de saber. Si se le pide que comparta su SSN, primero pregunte si hay otra manera de identificarse. Si usted no tiene una opción y no puede evitar usar el servicio (por ejemplo, para ver su clase o información de grado), asegúrese de que confía en la institución o persona que lo necesita. Cuantas menos personas conozcan su información personal, mejor. Tenga cuidado al enviar información personal a través del correo, ya que podría ser robado. En línea, busque el "https" en la URL, donde la "s" significa "seguro".

• Mantente al tanto de tu crédito. Revisar su informe de crédito es una de las mejores maneras de capturar casos de robo de identidad. En los Estados Unidos, usted tiene el derecho de revisar su informe de crédito con cada una de las tres agencias de crédito una vez al año en www. annualcreditreport.com. Espacio estos cheques a través del año, y usted sabrá bastante rápidamente si algo está mal.

La mejor línea de defensa contra el robo de identidad es proteger su información personal.

LOS CDC URGEN A LAS FAMILIAS A QUE INICIEN LA CONVERSACIÓN SOBRE LA SEPTICEMIA

AUGUST 17 - 23, 2018

BEWARE OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING DURING SUMMER ACTIVITIES Stephanie Carson Public News Service NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Carbon monoxide often is thought of as a winter threat with the use of heaters, but summer recreation activities also can generate the gas that could prove deadly if you're exposed to it in confined spaces.

Every year, the state receives reports of carbon monoxide poisoning from people using campers, boats and other recreational equipment with engines.

"These are places where people tend to be sort of in a small space and they're often using gas stoves, or running machines, or even their car," explains Dr. Tim Jones, state epidemiologist at the Tennessee Department of Health.

Photo Credit: BPT BPT

Cada año, al menos 1.7 millones de personas en los Estados Unidos presentan septicemia, y casi 270 000 mueren por su causa. Aunque cualquier persona puede contraer una infección, y casi cualquier infección puede ocasionar septicemia, solo el 55% de las personas en los EE. UU. han escuchado hablar sobre la septicemia.[1] La septicemia es la respuesta extrema del cuerpo a una infección. Es potencialmente mortal, y sin tratamiento oportuno, puede causar muy rápido daños en los tejidos, insuficiencia orgánica y la muerte. La septicemia ocurre cuando una infección que usted ya tiene —en la piel, los pulmones, las vías urinarias o en alguna otra parte— provoca una reacción en cadena por todo el cuerpo.

Inicie hoy la conversación sobre la septicemia con su médico o enfermero haciendo estas cinco preguntas: 1. ¿Cómo puedo proteger a mi familia de la septicemia? Es importante conocer los signos y síntomas, y actuar con rapidez si se sospecha que se trata de septicemia. Los signos y síntomas de la septicemia pueden incluir alguno o una combinación de los siguientes: confusión o desorientación; dificultad para respirar; frecuencia cardiaca alta; fiebre, escalofríos o sensación de mucho frío; dolores o molestias extremos; y piel pegajosa o sudorosa. Una infección que no mejora o que empeora puede ocasionar septicemia. Obtenga atención médica de inmediato si sospecha que puede ser septicemia.

2. ¿Cómo podemos prevenir las infecciones?

Hable con su médico o enfermero sobre las medidas que usted y su familia pueden tomar para prevenir las infecciones que pueden causar septicemia. Para prevenir las infecciones, controle bien las afecciones crónicas y póngase las vacunas recomendadas.

También, practique buena higiene, lavándose las manos y manteniendo limpios los cortes y cubriéndolos con vendas hasta que sanen.

3. Ayer, mi hija de seis meses tenía fiebre leve y tos. Pero hoy, no está alerta, está orinando menos y tiene dificultad para respirar. ¿Podría esta infección causar septicemia? Si usted o un ser querido sospecha que tiene septicemia, o tiene una infección que no mejora o que empeora, pregúntele al médico o enfermero: "¿Podría esta infección causar septicemia?".

ACTÚE RÁPIDO y busque atención médica INMEDIATAMENTE. 4. Mi padre es anciano y tiene diabetes. ¿Podría tener un mayor riesgo de sufrir infecciones que puedan producir septicemia?

Algunas personas tienen un riesgo más alto, como los adultos de 65 años o más; las personas con afecciones crónicas, como la diabetes, las enfermedades pulmonares, el cáncer y las enfermedades de los riñones; las personas con el sistema inmunitario debilitado; y los niños menores de 1 año de edad.

5. ¿Cómo se puede tratar la septicemia? Una persona que contrae septicemia debería ser tratada con antibióticos lo más pronto posible, además de recibir otras terapias que el médico o enfermero decida que sean apropiadas para ese paciente, como mantener el flujo de sangre a los órganos o recibir líquidos por vía intravenosa. Además, el médico o enfermero debería chequear al paciente con frecuencia y volver a evaluar el tratamiento con antibióticos dentro de las 24 y 48 horas para suspenderlo o ajustarlo según sea necesario.

Recuerde, la septicemia es una emergencia médica. Mejorar la identificación de la septicemia y brindar tratamiento oportuno aumenta sus posibilidades de sobrevivencia y disminuye la posibilidad de tener efectos a largo plazo.

Para saber más sobre la septicemia y sobre cómo prevenir infecciones, así como para descargar nuevos materiales GRATUITOS en español para ayudarlos a usted y a sus seres queridos a ACTUAR RÁPIDO si se sospecha que es septicemia, visite www.cdc.gov/ sepsis. Para aprender más sobre el uso de los antibióticos, visite www.cdc.gov/antibioticuse.

Symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning include a headache, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

If you suspect you or someone else is

experiencing it, open all windows and doors and go to an area with fresh air.

If someone is sick, call 911 and the American Association of Poison Control Centers at (800) 222-1222.

To prevent poisoning from happening, inspect your RV generator regularly, test your vehicles carbon monoxide detector, and never use a gas generator inside of a home.

Jones says sometimes the sickness may take you by surprise.

"We've had some very severe cases where people have been swimming underneath pontoon boats, sort of in between the pontoons, where air is kind of still and exhaust has accumulated under there," he relates.

Mantenga la seguridad y portabilidad como su principal punto de atención al organizar los autos de uso compartido de la escuela. Photo Credit: StatePoint

StatePoint Es hora de poner la mente en modo escolar, lo cual significa para los padres: útiles escolares, preparar almuerzos y compartir autos.

Un sistema de compartir el auto puede ser el mejor regalo del año escolar, pero la clave para lograr un horario sin contratiempos es buena comunicación incluyendo reglas sólidas. Así, los padres pueden garantizar viajes seguros y sin problemas para todos los pasajeros durante el año escolar: • Haz una lista de contactos: Compila una lista de contactos que incluya los nombres de todos los niños y adultos que participan en el auto compartido, incluyendo sus direcciones y números de teléfono. Imprime varias copias de la lista. Conserva una copia en el coche y comparte las copias restantes con las demás familias que participan en el auto compartido.

• Crea un calendario: Determina las necesidades en los diferentes horarios, y asigna claramente quién va a dónde y cuándo cada día de la semana. Este calendario puede cambiar con el paso del tiempo, así que considera compartir un documento electrónico que pueda ser actualizado fácilmente, y así mantener a todo mundo en sintonía.

• Da prioridad a la seguridad: Las

nuevas opciones de sillas para coches están ayudando a garantizar que todos los niños estén protegidos en el asiento trasero. Por ejemplo, las sillas “booster” proporcionan seguridad en el viaje, y están diseñadas con una mejor portabilidad. Tanto en modo de “booster” con respaldo alto o de “booster” sin respaldo, pueden transportar con seguridad a niños grandes de 40 a 100 libras.

• Reduce al mínimo las distracciones: Los carriles de autos compartidos a menudo están ocupados, de modo que es importante estar concentrado.

No escuches podcasts ni mires tu teléfono. Por el contrario, concéntrate en la tarea que tienes que cumplir: hacer que los niños lleguen con seguridad a su destino.

• Ofrece aperitivos: Después de la escuela, los niños normalmente tienen hambre y querrán un aperitivo en el auto durante el viaje a casa.

Habla con los otros padres sobre la comida que piensas darles a sus hijos.

Ten en cuenta que muchos niños tienen alergias o restricciones en su dieta, así que toma en cuenta esto antes de darles un aperitivo.

Un auto compartido bien administrado es una bendición para cualquier padre atareado. Con estos consejos, podrás empezar el nuevo año escolar con el pie derecho y garantizar que el sistema de compartir el auto funcione sin problemas y con seguridad.

AVANZA INICIATIVA PARA REVISAR LOS IMPUESTOS A LA PROPIEDAD COMERCIAL

Initiative to Revise Commercial Property Taxes Moves Forward Suzanne Potter California News Service SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Backers of commercial property tax reform have just submitted 860,000 signatures to county registrars for an initiative on the November 2020 ballot.

The "Schools and Communities First" ballot measure would require commercial property owners who benefit from Prop 13's property tax freeze in 1978 to start paying taxes based on the property's current fair market value, rather than what it was worth 40 years ago. Joshua Pechthalt, president of California Federation of Teachers, said the measure would raise another $11 billion a year a good chunk of which could be used to improve schools.

Linda Barr California News Service SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Una nueva iniciativa a votarse para 2020 cambiaria la manera en que California evalua los impuestos a la propiedad comercial, reformando la Propuesta 13 para trasladar mas de la carga fiscal a las corporaciones. Comenta Joshua Pechthalt (PESH-talt), presidente de la "Federacion de Maestros de California" (California Federation of Teachers), organizacion que apoya el plan.

Los partidarios del impuesto a la propiedad comercial acaban de enviar 860 mil firmas a los registradores del condado para someter una iniciativa en la votacion de noviembre 2020.

La medida a votar, "Primero las Escuelas y Comunidades" (Schools and Communities First), exigiria que los duenos de propiedades comerciales que se beneficiaron en 1978 con el congelamiento del impuesto a la propiedad por la Propuesta 13, comiencen a pagar impuestos con base en el justo valor actualizado de la propiedad, y no en lo que valia hace 40 anos.

Joshua Pechthalt, quien encabeza la "Federacion de Maestros de California" (California Federation of Teachers), dice que se elevaria en 11 billones de dolares al ano, y seria una buena porcion de lo que podria usarse para mejorar las escuelas.

"California es el estado que tiene la quinta economia mas grande del mundo, y aun asi estamos calificados cerca de

la posicion 45 en terminos de gasto por alumno tamano promedio de los grupos.

Y nuestros pequenos merecen un trato mejor que ese."

Una coalicion de casi 300 grupos comunitarios apoyan la propuesta, la cual no afecta las protecciones de la Prop 13 para propietarios de casas, enteros, pequenos empresarios o la agricultura.

Los grupos anti-impuestos dicen que eso haria de California un estado mucho menos amigable para los negocios y que ademas se perdieran empleos.

Pechthalt senala que la mayoria de los demas estados evaluan asi la propiedad comercial e industrial, y piensa que la propuesta traeria de regreso la justicia al sistema tributario de California.

"Antes de la 'Prop 13' los duenos de propiedades y los comercios compartian impuestos a la propiedad como en 50/50. Ahora ese peso lo llevan sobre todo los propietarios; cargamos con un 70 por ciento, o mas, de impuestos a la propiedad."

Los negocios duenos de grandes extensiones de tierra desde los 1970s, como Disneyland y Estudios Universal, serian los mas afectados por el cambio.

Para ser sujeto de votacion, el grupo necesita poco mas de 548 mil firmas verificadas, de las 860 mil presentadas.

La iniciativa (en ingles): oag.ca.gov/ s y s t e m / f i l e s / i n i t i a t i v e s /p d f s / 170055%20(Funding%20for%20 Schools%20and%20Communities)_2. pdf

AUGUST 17 - 23, 2018

"California is the fifth-largest economy in the world, and yet we're ranked something like 45th in terms of per-pupil spending and class-size average," Pechthalt said.

"And our kids deserve to be treated better than that."

SUNDAY- 9:30AM

A coalition of almost 300 community groups supports the proposal, which would not affect Prop 13 protections for homeowners, renters, small businesses or agriculture. Anti-tax groups say it would make California significantly less business-friendly and cause job losses.

Pechthalt pointed out that most other states assess commercial and industrial property in this way, and he thinks the proposal would bring fairness back to California's tax system.

"Prior to Prop 13, homeowners and commercial interests split property taxes about 50/50," he observed. "And now, that burden falls mostly on homeowners - we shoulder 70 percent, maybe more, of property taxes."

Corporations that have owned large tracts of land since the 1970s - like Chevron, Bank of America, Disneyland and Universal Studios - would be most affected by the change. To qualify for the ballot, the group needs just over 548,000 signatures to be verified, out of the 860,000 submitted.

GROUPS QUESTION POSSIBLE POLLUTION AT PLANNED MIGRANT DETENTION CENTERS Suzanne Potter California News Service

Area.

Exposure to toxic chemicals from sites such as these can cause cancer, neurological damage and developmental harm, but the government says the sites are safe.

CONCORD, Calif. - A coalition of health, labor and environmental groups is asking the Trump administration to release specific locations for immigrant detention centers to be built on military bases - sites that may be polluted.

Evans says the planned migrant housing is flimsy and insufficient to protect people from environmental hazards.

President Donald Trump's zerotolerance policy at the border has resulted in the detention of tens of thousands of men, women and children.

Attorney Lisa Evans with Earthjustice, the law firm representing the groups, has filed an expedited Freedom of Information Act request to find out exactly where the migrants will be housed, because, she says, these military bases have a long history of toxic pollution.

in areas that are either on top of or close to hazardous waste sites is an unconscionable act and it's unnecessary," she stresses.

The administration is rushing to build two migrant detention centers in Texas - one at Fort Bliss in El Paso,

There also have been rumors of plans to use land at the former Concord Naval Weapons Station in the Bay

"These are not dormitories," she stresses. "These are not bunkers that have been converted to housing, that might be more protective. These are soft-sided temporary shelters set on the ground that can be constructed very quickly to house these children and families."

The groups making the Freedom of Information Act request include the Hispanic Federation, the National Hispanic Medical Association, the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, the Southwest Environmental Center, GreenLatinos and Alianza Nacional de Campesinas.

MEXICO TO UNITE MAYA AREA BY TRAIN TO BOOST TOURISM

AUGUST 17 - 23, 2018

Besides the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza (Yucatan), Calakmul (Campeche) and Tulum (Quintana Roo), the train will stop at such tourist destinations as Campeche, Merida, Izamal and Valladolid, which for decades has ser ved as a point of entr y to the Mayan world.

"T his projec t will attrac t a lot of tourism, and of course it will create jobs in the southeast, which is the most neglec ted par t of the countr y," said Lopez Obrador, who will be sworn-in as president next Dec. 1 for a six-year term.

In all the marginalized areas along the Maya Train's route, its

construc tion "could trigger an economic boom because many towns will reap the benefits," Reynaldo Dzib, manager of the Canc un Travel Group, told EFE. He recalled that the Canc unChiapas connec tion can c urrently be traveled by bus or airplane, "but if they are connec ted by train, like the shor t routes in Europe, the results will be phenomenal."

According to figures of the Quintana Roo Tourism Secre tariat, during 2017 the state welcomed 16. 9 million tourists who left an economic bounty of some $8.81 billion.

Jose Antonio Torres EFE Mexico City - A railroad that runs 1,500 kilome ters (930 miles) around the most important archaeological centers of Mexico's Mayan c ulture and that will cost at the ver y least $6.259 billion (120 billion pesos) is a projec t of the incoming government that could crown years of attempts to get the most out of these magnificent tourist attractions.

This project of Mexico's Presidentelec t Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador proposes that within a period of four years a "modern" train will connect the principal points of the Mayan region, which includes the Mexican states of

Tabasco, Chiapas, Campeche, Yucatan and Quintana Roo. "Nowhere else in the world is there a region with so many and such magnificent c ultural treasures as this region, which witnessed the flowering of the great Mayan c ulture," Lopez Obrador said this Monday as he outlined the projec t and noted the impor tance of the Maya Train, already considered a priority program of his government.

To star t with there will be the Mayan city of Palenque in Chiapas state and the Caribbean seaside resort of Canc un in Quintana Roo, with two routes that cover 1,500 kilome ters around the east and west coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula.

RUBY ROSE: CAPTURING “THE MEG”

Australian actress Ruby Rose talks real sharks, fake sharks, and being cast as Batwoman and we’re all back to being terrified and screaming and swallowing salt water. And I’m loving it because I love the ocean. But I’m laughing because Page Kennedy can’t swim, and he’s terrified that something’s gonna touch his leg. Rainn Wilson doesn't like the ocean, he’s scared of kelp, so it was fun, it was a very big bonding moment for all of us.

Was there a physical model of the Megalodon shark that you were working alongside with or was it all CGI?

Arturo Hilario El Observador

The most recent blockbuster movie to hit theaters in this late Summer time is about a prehistoric, 60-foot shark that swam through the seas millions of years ago. The Megalodon was the unparalleled king of the sea, with teeth measuring 5 inches and a bite that could easily crush the bones of large ocean mammals.

In the film “The Meg”, a group of scientific researchers in a large, partially submerged oceanic facility owned by a billionaire (Rainn Wilson) are tasked with attempting to cross through what they believe is a “false” bottom of the ocean. Currently the deepest point in the world’s oceans is the Mariana Trench, which is around 36,000 feet in depth. In “The Meg”, the researchers take their high tech “gliders” past this depth and find a number of new species. One of them happens to be the not-so-new Megalodon, which is the point where things get blockbuster-y.

On the research team is Jaxx, played by Ruby Rose. Her claim to fame is designing and overlooking all the tech involved in the research facility. Originally from Australia and no stranger to the ocean, Rose recently spoke to us about her experience on working on “The Meg”, as well as the recent casting news of her taking on the role of Batwoman for a CW Network DC Comics event later

this year.

Hey Ruby, thank you for taking time to talk about “The Meg”. First off, how was it like being in this “monster movie”?

It was amazing, it was fun, we got to do amazing stunts, I had the best cast to work with an amazingly diverse cast with huge wealth of knowledge in acting and we got to shoot in New Zealand which is one of the most beautiful places in the world, do a lot of shooting and stunts in the ocean, and I love the ocean. For me, it was like a dream come true.

You’re from Australia, and there’s all sorts of critters there that are native to the country that aren’t seen anywhere else. Have you had experience with sharks or any animals native to there?

Yeah, I grew up surfing and spending a lot of time in the ocean, I definitely encountered sharks a lot when I was doing that, and I was never very fearful of them, I always admired them and thought they were stunning creatures, so for me I’ve never had the fear that a lot of people have. But you know, I just admire them.

Are you a fan of monster movies?

Yeah, well “Jaws” is one of my favorite films, and “Jurassic Park”. I love films in general, I mean that’s why I got into acting, anything that takes me out of reality for that 90 minutes or two hours where you get to

just enjoy a different universe or a different existence or a different period of time, and learn something and feel something, or laugh or cry or be scared. I think it’s a really magical medium.

Could you tell me about your character in the film “The Meg”?

I play a character called Jaxx. She’s the lead engineer and she basically builds all the gliders and submersibles and all the technology and equipment to do the research on the animals that we find and the different species that we encounter, and she is also the kind of person that doesn’t necessarily trust you off the bat, but once she gets to know you she’s very “ride or die”. And I’ve kind of enjoyed playing that up when it came to Rainn Wilson’s character, not really vibing him and not really knowing what to think of him because he plays a billionaire who’s interested in monetizing the ocean, while we play the kind of characters that want to save the ocean.

What was your favorite thing about your character of Jaxx in the film? Is there a particular moment that you enjoyed being part of ?

There were lots of standout moments, but I guess I enjoyed when we are all in the ocean and we’re all swimming and trying to escape the Meg, and it was sort of in between takes where we were laughing [and] making fun of each other, and then it’s like ‘action’

Well it’s funny we did more than half of it with a green screen, but we knew what the Meg looked like because in the research lab that was our set we had lots of pictures up of the Meg and diagrams and that, so we always knew what the size was comparable to a great white and anything else. So, when we were working on green screen it was a lot about what the director would tell us was happening, so we could react. We also had an animatronic Meg which was about half the size and half the body, so it was the head, the teeth, mouth [and] eyes up until about halfway to the body. So that allowed us to know what we would roughly be looking at. But the irony was that when we were using the green screen they’d often use a tennis ball for us to look at and you can’t think of anything smaller than a tennis ball to represent a megalodon.

So, during the premiere this past week of “The Meg” it was announced that you had been cast as Batwoman for a CW crossover event involving the show “Arrow”. That must have felt great. Can you tell me a bit about how it feels to step into those boots?

Yeah! It’s so exciting and overwhelming and amazing. Honestly it hasn’t really sunk in yet because you know, I’m on “The Meg” promo tour and premiere, so as soon as I’m done in the middle of the week I’ll finally sit down and actually think about this news and absorb it all and then get straight to work.

Well, for the last question, I just wanted to know why folks should check out your film “The Meg”?

It’s an amazing summer blockbuster, it’s the perfect film to go and grab some popcorn, take your friends, family. Know that you’re gonna have a great time and you’re gonna laugh. Bizarrely, it’s a feel-good shark movie. But, you’re gonna be scared and terrified, there’s romantic moments, there’s sweet moments, and gentle moments.

Jon [Turteltaub], the Director is so good at tonally making things fun enough and scary enough, but never taking himself too seriously and never going too far and making it into a parody.

“The Meg” is out in theaters now.

FENG SHUI PARA LA HABITACIÓN Y EL BAÑO

Feng shui significa <<viento y agua>> y se puede definir como una filosofía milenaria que profesa el arte de vivir en armonía con la naturaleza y el universo. Se ha practicado durante siglos en el lejano oriente.

Actualmente ha sido recibido en todo el mundo como un aporte mágico de la antigua filosofía china para la humanidad.

El Feng shui y sus técnicas conforman una valiosa opción para atraer abundancia, prosperidad financiera, alegría, buena salud, paz en el hogar, romance y bienestar a su usuario.

Un hogar debe convertirse en una morada acogedora que inspire, serenidad, armonía y balance. Cada habitación, espacio y rincón del hogar, puede ser transformado en un lugar acogedor. De este modo la energía universal podrá fluir libremente por todas partes.

En el Feng shui a la energía universal se le conoce como Ch'i, compuesto por el ying y el yang, los dos elementos opuestos en el universo que suelen ser representados por el día y la noche, la luz y la oscuridad, masculino y femenino, frío y el calor, etc.

El ch'i puede ser de naturaleza positiva o negativa. Los sabios consejos del Feng shui invitan a crear Ch’i positivo y eliminar el Ch'i negativo. Para lograr atraer la mayor cantidad de Ch'i positivo al hogar, será preciso seguir recomendaciones del Feng shui y cuando haga falta, se tendrán que hacer modificaciones prácticas que resulten económicas y sobre todo agradables.

En esencia se puede afirmar que el orden, la organización y la limpieza son caminos que llevan a la buena suerte. A continuación algunos consejos para la habitación y el cuarto de baño, áreas que se relacionan con la vida romántica y la salud.

La habitación Las habitaciones se vinculan al área del matrimonio y a la vida romántica de sus usuarios. La habitación debe ser funcional, agradable, cómoda y pulcra.

Es recomendable que la habitación tenga una sola entrada. Dos entradas darán la impresión de inseguridad.

La luz solar debe entrar libremente en la habitación, aunque no directamente a la cama porque causará insomnio.

La cama no debe colocarse debajo o contra una ventana ya que ello creará la sensación de peligro y promoverá las pesadillas.

No coloque crucifijos sobre su cama, si lo hace su mundo se llenará de penas y preocupaciones.

No sature el espacio con objetos en el suelo y la pared.

La cabecera de la cama debe apoyarse a la pared donde su usuario pueda observar el contorno de la habitación desde la cama sin girar más de cuarenta y cinco grados.

La cama debe tener acceso a ambos lados, una cama pegada a la pared augura falta de suerte en el amor.

Es preferible que el techo no cuente con travesaños muy notorios o que la pared presente inclinaciones pronunciadas.

Los closet y armarios deben permanecer organizados y libres de polvo.

No mantenga ropa tirada en el suelo o sobre las alfombras, esto acumulará Ch'i negativo.

Una habitación limpia, ordenada y agradable, será augurio de buena suerte en su vida romántica.

El baño El cuarto de baño es el sitio por donde se drena todo lo dañino o Ch’i negativo que

existe en una vivienda.

“La puerta del baño debe permanecer cerrada”, si se deja abierta entonces se comenzará a esparcir Ch’i negativo por toda la casa, lo que al poco tiempo será traducido y canalizado energéticamente en padecimientos de salud, fricciones y desazones familiares.

El lavamanos, ducha y sanitario deben trabajar a la perfección de lo contrario retienen el Ch’i negativo, que pronto se convierte en malestar, indisposición y altibajos en la salud.

Evite colores extravagantes, decoraciones innecesarias y todo tipo de adornos exagerados en el baño, entre más práctico y funcional es un baño, más rápido se encarga en extraer el Ch’i negativo.

Si un cuarto de baño carece de una ventana por donde entre el aire, entonces es prioritario que en el mismo se disponga de un ventilador de extracción, el que debe ser activado durante al menos veinte minutos después que el baño ha sido utilizado.

La taza del sanitario debe permanecer cubierta siempre que no se esté usando.

Olores desagradables, tuberías a simple vista, toallas sucias y desperdicios acumulados en el baño absorberán Ch’i negativo que se irá acumulando hasta provocar pleitos y enfrentamientos entre los moradores del hogar.

La limpieza del baño debe realizarse muy a menudo, en la misma se recomienda utilizar aromatizantes y fragancias porque asisten en la erradicación del Ch’i negativo.

Si utiliza toallas de otro color diferente al blanco, entonces puede usar los diferentes tonos de azul ya que estos colores se asocian directamente al elemento agua.

Un cuarto de baño limpio y agradable a la vista, presagiará buena salud para los miembros del hogar.

Shelly Palmer I’ve had my Samsung Galaxy Note 9 for a few days and I can say without hesitation that this is an awesome device. It’s aesthetically beautiful, it’s fast, it’s powerful, and it’s packed with small improvements that combine to make the Note 9 a best-inclass Android handheld.

General Impressions I really like the Note 9. It is a case study in continuous improvement – which is clearly Samsung’s innovation strategy. There isn’t one “blow your mind” new feature, but each aspect of the Note 9 has been improved.

When taken together, this combination of improvements makes the Note 9 a serious standout in a crowded room of Android phones.

As expected, the Note 9 looks a lot like the Note 8 (except, thankfully, for the placement of the fingerprint sensor). Samsung has kept all of your favorite features: wireless fast charging, external storage via microSD cards, water resistance, and a 3.5mm analog headphone jack. The Note 9 has a very big 6.4″ screen. The Note 8 had a slightly smaller 6.3″ screen. Interestingly, the Note 9 is a little shorter than the Note 8 because Samsung was able to reduce the size of the top and bottom bezels on the Note 9.

The S Pen If you love Note devices, you probably love the S Pen. The Note 9 has a redesigned S Pen that is active (charges in the phone) and has a bunch of new features (detailed below).

TECHNOLOGY

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

DeX For Samsung aficionados, the Note 9 has DeX software built in. DeX turns your Note 9 into a fairly functional desktop computer.

Plug in a common USB-C to HDMI video adapter, add a Bluetooth keyboard, and the Note 9 is powerful enough to run the Microsoft Office Suite and YouTube at the same time. It’s impressive.

Bixby One of the “not quite ready for prime time” issues I have with Samsung is the slow progress it has made with Bixby, its version of Alexa Voice Services. Samsung has demonstrated some remarkable natural language understanding, but many of Bixby’s best tricks have yet to be released.

When Samsung catches up, Bixby may become an important way to interface with your home entertainment, your handhelds, your appliances, and all of the devices compatible with Samsung Smart Things (which is pretty much all of the devices in your world). For now, even though you can’t remap the Note 9’s dedicated Bixby button, “OK Google” works fine.

AR Emoji tools – Create your own AR Emoji or choose from a set of Disney AR Emojis.

Very fast – 10nm processor.

Optimized for gamers – Water-carbon cooling system and smart performance adjuster.

Sounds great – AKG stereo speakers featuring Dolby Atmos.

Lots of internal storage – Two models: 128GB/6GB RAM ($999) or 512GB/8GB RAM ($1,250). Preorders begin on August 10, and the phone will be available on August 24 at all major carriers or direct

(and unlocked) from Samsung.

Great in the hand – A metal frame with “diacut” edges (cut by a special diamond cutting tool). Available in Ocean Blue w/yellow S Pen or Lavender Purple w/matching S Pen. Water resistant to 5' – IP68.

Very secure – Features a combination of Samsung Knox hardware and software.

Lots of ways to unlock – Face recognition, iris scan, pattern, fingerprint scan, password, or pin number.

Geeks only – The Note 9 ships with Android 8.1 Oreo. Samsung will offer an update to Android 9 Pie. No date has been announced.

Should You Buy It? If you love the Note you currently own, you’ll want the Note 9. If you’re an Android person, you’ll want the Note 9. If you need a new Android phone, you’ll want the Note 9. If your phone is more than three years old, not only will you want the Note 9, you should pre-order it now.

If you’re an iPhone person, there’s nothing to see here. Almost every Samsung flagship phone has (and has had) better technical specifications than its contemporaneous iPhone competition. But this is not a technology battle. It is a confirmation bias war between the faithful. Which OS has the technological high ground? The answer is, whichever one you believe in.

As for the hardware? The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is a pleasure to hold and to use.

And not unexpectedly, it’s the best phone Samsung has made to date.

Author’s note: This is not a sponsored post. I am the author of this article and it expresses my own opinions. I am not, nor is my company, receiving compensation for it.

Huge Storage Capacity For people who need to have a lot of data available locally (4K video files, monstersize databases, and the like), the Note 9 can have up to 1TB of storage (512GB internal plus the 512GB micro SD card). This is huge (pun intended).

The Specifications Here’s a list of Note 9 benefits alongside the features that power them:

Natives of Australia, Parma wallabies were once thought to be extinct until a small population was discovered in 1967 on a small island near New Zealand. The Parma wallaby was listed as an endangered species by the U.S. Department of Fish & Wildlife in 1970.

“Happy Hollow is an important contributor to the survival of this rare species,” says Hertell. “Over the last twenty-four years, several joeys born here have made their way to zoos across the United States and even abroad.”

As an Association of Zoos & Aquariums (AZA) accredited facility, Happy Hollow participates in a co-operative breeding program called a Species Survival Plan.

This program is coordinated through the AZA to protect and increase populations of endangered species.

Parma wallabies are the smallest member of the genus Macropus, which includes all kangaroos and wallabies.

Adults weigh 7 to 12 pounds and are around 18-20 inches tall, only onetenth the height of the tallest macropod, the red kangaroo.

“This adorable little joey is finally starting to appear,” says Kevin Hertell, Happy Hollow Zoo Manager. “We are starting to see the joey’s head, feet, and tail poking out from the pouch, but it will be another month or so before we see the little one hopping around on their own.” The gestation period for Parma wallabies is only thirty-five
