LEBRON JAMES' GOOD WORKS IS A “HAND-UP” TO AKRON, OHIO COMMUNITY

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR Dear Mr. Donald J. Trump: When I read the caption “TRUMP BASHES LeBron James Before Ohio Rally” (SF Chronicle, Sunday, August 8, 2018, page A11), I decided to tell you the following:

respond to your ability to bring out their most uncivil behavior which marks you as being a misogynist (one who abuses women) and a racist (one who believes that the Anglo-Saxon race has been ordained to be the leader of all the rest of humanity)...especially persons of color whom you deal with comfortably only from the position of privilege and wealth provided to you at birth by your family.

You were not speaking to the American People as their “President”, but as a highly insecure individual who has never fairly won the Electoral College vote which placed you in the White House's Oval Office. You did not get elected without the assistance of a long-standing historical adversary of These United States of America. Despite your personal propensity to project 'a tough guy' image, your personal pronouncements are based upon your personal need to always be the “King of the Mountain”.

Many American citizens by birthright (who are not naturalized citizens and whose parents were former immigrants) are willing to endure your presidency for one term or maybe even less, because they are engaged with their family in support of their community and this American nation's democratic ideals. It was these ideals which you pledged to support, uphold and defend, so help you GOD, when you were sworn in as the elected leader of this Democracy and 'The Free World'.

Mr. Trump...You need to be told the following: “When anyone, especially persons of color, needs your white supremacist opinion, we will ask you for it.” Why do you need the accolades provided over and over again by your supporters at rallies? They

Frankly, I know of no one who holds you in high regard as a role model because of your propensity to bring everything down to your low road approach to the challenges of our diverse society, its economy, and its governance. You do not understand what Jesus

Christ meant when he said, “He who wants to be your leader must first become the servant of all.” (St. Mark's Gospel; King James Bible). If you are the gifted genius you proclaim you already are, when will you begin to share your insights and plans about the desired future state of our society, its commerce, and its governance? Again, the Bible states: “Without visionary leaders, the people perish.” When will you clearly communicate your vision so that ‘We, The People’ know it, understand it, and decide to support it? What 'We, The People' have noted is that you curry favor with those who are already very well off. You seem to admire those few individuals who are strong autocratic leaders. History relates many oligarchs who failed simply because they did not enable their constituents to do more than just survive. Upward mobility measured by wealth, social station or technical ability is an essential to all individuals because all need to be recognized, appreciated and thanked by those who benefited from the services or goods produced and made available. Mr. Trump...you need to understand that education, defined as the facilitated

access to factual, truthful and useful information (collectively known as 'science') is an essential for each of us who decides to become capable. LeBron James's personal journey began in a disadvantaged community which is still marginalized by the bias, bigotry, and prejudice still extant today. The Civil War (1865) was a conflict costing this nation some 600,000 casualties. The North won this struggle to “free the slaves”, however, the beliefs and practices of many white supremacists such as you, still do not accept persons of color as worthy of having equal citizenship rights and access to needed information acquired by attending public schools or having access to archives of information accessible at public libraries. LeBron James is a gifted individual whose superb athleticism permitted him to earn recognition and wealth as a highly skilled basketball professional athlete who entertains fans. LeBron James merits recognition and appreciation for deciding to share his wealth in his community. By underwriting a school named “I Promise” which is located in his hometown of Akron, Ohio, he has 'given

back' to his community. He is following the role model examples of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan, two African-American professional basketball athletes who have successfully invested in their communities. LeBron James has decided to share his wealth to mitigate those forces which keep certain folks 'in their place'. What LeBron James is doing is called 'human capital formation' by economists. Those youth who take advantage of his hands-up approach will be enabled to leave that marginalized community and its culture. What LeBron James has initiated will provide him with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when he sees the future successes and advancements of those youth who took advantage of the opportunity underwritten by his wealth and supportive caring. LeBron James has lived up to those Christian ideals of 'Concerned Love and Charity', for which he has, as a Good Samaritan, earned and will receive much appreciation and gratitude (i.e., ‘good vibes’). He cared about the disadvantaged; when will you begin to deal with challenges faced by America's low-income working class?

TRUMP Y LOS CACAHUATES José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

canos con violadores y narcotraficantes, eran sólo “cacahuates” comparado con la realidad. “Son cacahuates”, insistió.

el 2016 y 2017. No escuché a nadie estar ansioso por tratar de viajar o regresar a los Estados Unidos, al menos en la era Trump

El tufo antiinmigrante y, en gran medida, antimexicano, de Donald Trump no es cosa nueva. Fue uno de los pilares de su ideario xenofóbico durante la campaña presidencial del 2016 y sigue siendo una muletilla retórica recurrente para exacerbar los ánimos entre un núcleo de seguidores que ostenta públicamente con orgullo su vena racista y su déficit profundo de sofisticación intelectual.

No importa si las palabras de Trump son parte de su elaborado paquete de mercadotecnia política donde emplea temas sociales divisivos–como la migración y el comercio-- para mantener la cohesión entre una base conservadora que está siendo golpeada por sus políticas comerciales y de salud. Deben ser denunciadas por su contenido prejuicioso y discriminatorio.

Hace apenas unos días, sin importarle el perjuicio que podría ocasionar en las negociaciones comerciales con México y en su relación con el próximo gobierno mexicano, Trump sostuvo ante sus fanáticos que aquellas palabras de su campaña, donde comparó a los inmigrantes mexi-

Tuve oportunidad de estar en mi natal México en los últimos días. Conversé con muchos de mis compatriotas, muchos de ellos inmigrantes que estuvieron en Estados Unidos. Entre los mexicanos de a pie, el nivel de curiosidad por el “fenómeno Trump” se ha diluido en comparación con

También pude constatar lo que ya sabía: que la perversa caricatura que Trump dibuja de los mexicanos no puede estar más alejada de la realidad. Es verdad que México padece aún niveles inaceptables de criminalidad, pero los mexicanos somos abrumadoramente un pueblo trabajador que busca prosperidad y seguridad para sus familias. Las carencias están a la vista de todos, pero también el potencial de sus jóvenes y la esperanza de un horizonte mejor. Es posible que, hasta cierto punto, Trump y su funesta política migratoria –incluido su tristemente célebre plan de “tolerancia cero” y de separación de niños-- hayan

tenido éxito en convencer a algunos de que Estados Unidos no es un lugar hospitalario para los inmigrantes. También es verdad que muchos mexicanos han decidido permanecer en su país para aprovechar oportunidades laborales y educativas. Pero las cifras de migración desde los países del Triángulo del Norte muestran que los factores que empujan a los migrantes, como la inseguridad y la pobreza, son reales y deben atacarse de manera integral y regional. Lo que distingue a un líder de un merolico es la capacidad de identificar y resolver problemas mayores, no producir peligrosas cortinas de humo para gozo de la muchedumbre y beneficio político personal.

Better Business Bureau It may seem like school just let out, but it’s already time to start thinking about the new school year! With back-to-school specials running all summer long, parents and students can start their shopping early and spread it out to avoid a hefty back-to-school shopping bill all at once. Better Business Bureau offers up the following tips on how to shop smart when starting your back-to-school or back-to-college shopping: Make a list You can either wait for the school supplies list to come out, or start shopping without it. Even if you don’t have the exact list, you should have an idea of what to purchase regarding school clothes, and basic supplies. Jot everything down on a list and stick to it! Impulse buying can jack up your overall total in a hurry. Shop your home You may already have some of the items from last year hidden in your home. Why purchase the same thing twice? Research big ticket items Before purchasing that expensive laptop, tablet or dorm refrigerator, be sure to do your research. Research the brands, warranty, customer

reviews and the prices at various stores to be sure you’re getting the best deal. Also check the retailer out with BBB at bbb.org. Look for the sales Compare prices between different retail stores, save your coupons, sign up for email alerts and redeem any cash-back or rebate offers. This will help you get the best deals, saving you a nice chunk of dough. Ask for student discounts Many stores and software companies offer discounts to students that have either an .edu email address or a student ID. Even if you don’t see a discount advertised at the store, it doesn’t hurt to ask. Shop in bulk Some teachers ask parents to buy bulk items for the entire classroom to use throughout the year. Talk with other parents about what they’re getting, and see if you can all split the cost. Know the return policies and save your receipts Kids can be fickle. They can love a new shirt yesterday but hate it today. Ask about return policies before making your purchase. Be sure to save your receipts just in case you have to return the item later. Shop safely online • When shopping from an online website the first step is to make sure

Protect your child from identity theft Another thing to think about while getting your kids ready for back-toschool is identity theft. Believe it or not, children are especially good targets because they have zero credit history and no questionable banking transactions in their history. A child can have their ID stolen through their social security number or social insurance number and you may not find out about it for years. Here are some tips for protecting your child’s identity as they head back to school:

• Be extremely wary of any website or store that asks for your child’s personal information in order to access special deals.

• Don’t allow them to carry around their social insurance number or social security number. Leave it at home and locked in a safe place.

• If you’re buying supplies through a website like Craigslist, make sure you don’t wire money to someone you’ve not met. Use PayPal if possible, but if you are using cash, make sure you meet in a public place and bring a friend.

• If a business or school asks for their SIN or SSN, ask questions. Why do they need it and where and how is this information being stored? How long is it being stored and how will it be terminated? Who has access to it?

• If you use Facebook you know banner ads are all over the place and many ads are even catered to what you like. Some of them, however, are just click bait ads to drive you to a different website where you could potentially be asked to input personal

CONSEJO DE BBB: VOLVER A LA ESCUELA • Cuando compras desde un sitio web el que potencialmente se podría pedir Compre en línea seguramente

en línea el primer paso es asegurarse de que el URL comienza con "https" e incluye un símbolo de bloqueo. La "s" en "https" significa seguro, de esa manera usted sabe que su información está siendo protegida. • Consulte la política de privacidad y la información de contacto del sitio Web. Si no está claramente en la lista, o sólo tienen un correo electrónico como el punto de contacto, tomar eso como una gran bandera roja y comprar en otro lugar. • Haz tu investigación. Un sitio web desconocido puede ofrecer un producto similar a un precio más bajo. El precio más bajo no es siempre la mejor ruta. Revise las opiniones de los usuarios y las insignias para las agencias de protección al consumidor.

Better Business Bureau ¡Puede parecer como que la escuela apenas salió de vacaciones, pero ya es hora de empezar a pensar en el nuevo año escolar! Con los especiales de regreso a la escuela que funcionan durante todo el verano, los padres y los estudiantes pueden comenzar sus compras temprano y difundirlo para evitar una fuerte factura de regreso a la escuela a la vez. Buro de Mejores Negocios ofrece los siguientes consejos sobre cómo comprar inteligente al iniciar su compra de regreso a la escuela o de regreso a la Universidad: Hacer una lista Puedes esperar a que salga la lista de útiles escolares o empezar a ir de compras sin ella. Incluso si usted no tiene la lista exacta, usted debería tener una idea de qué comprar con respecto a ropa escolar, y los suministros básicos. ¡Anote todo en una lista y se adhieren a ella!

Una olía de compras en su hogar Usted puede ya tener algunos de los artículos del año pasado escondidos en su casa. ¿Por qué comprar la misma cosa dos veces? Investigue los artículos del boleto grande Antes de comprar ese costoso laptop, tableta o refrigerador del dormitorio, asegúrese de hacer su investigación. Investigue las marcas, la garantía, las

revisiones del cliente y los precios en las varias tiendas para cerciorarse de que usted está consiguiendo el mejor precio. También revise el minorista con BBB en BBB.org. Busque las ventas Compare precios entre diferentes tiendas minoristas, Ahorre sus cupones, Regístrese para recibir alertas por correo electrónico y canjee cualquier oferta de devolución de dinero o reembolso.

Solicite descuentos para estudiantes Muchas tiendas y compañías de software ofrecen descuentos a los estudiantes que tienen una dirección de correo electrónico .edu o una identificación de estudiante. Incluso si usted no ve un descuento anunciado en la tienda, no hace daño a preguntar.

• Asegúrese de usar su tarjeta de crédito en lugar de su tarjeta de débito, ya que las tarjetas de crédito no sólo proporcionan protección adicional, sino que también es más fácil impugnar un cargo fraudulento. • Sea extremadamente cauteloso con cualquier sitio web o tienda que solicite la información personal de su hijo/a para poder acceder a ofertas especiales. • Si usted está comprando suministros a través de un sitio web como Craigslist, asegúrese de no enviar dinero a alguien que no ha conocido. Use Paypal si es posible, pero si usted está usando dinero en efectivo, asegúrese de reunirse en un lugar público y traer a un amigo. • Si utilizas Facebook sabes que anuncios están en todo el sitio y muchos anuncios son incluso atendidas a lo que te gusta.

Un niño puede tener su identificación robada a través de su número de seguro social o número de la seguridad social y usted no puede enterarse de él por años. Estos son algunos consejos para proteger la identidad de su hijo al regresar a la escuela: • No permita que lleven consigo su número de seguro social o número de seguridad social. Déjelo en casa y encerrado en un lugar seguro. • Si un negocio o escuela pide su pecado o SSN, haga preguntas. ¿Por qué lo necesitan y dónde y cómo se almacena esta información? ¿Cuánto tiempo se almacena y cómo se terminará? ¿Quién tiene acceso a ella? • Eduque a su hijo sobre estar seguro si está activo en el mundo en línea.

Hable con otros padres acerca de lo que están recibiendo, y ver si todos pueden dividir el costo. Conozca las políticas de devolución y guarde sus recibos Los niños pueden ser inconstantes. Pueden amar una camisa nueva ayer pero odiarla hoy. Pregunte sobre las políticas de devolución antes de realizar la compra.

TAX-AIDE PROGRAM GETTING READY, 6 MONTHS AHEAD OF TAX SEASON

Volunteer Tax Preparers Needed

El Programa “Tax-Aide” se alista y se adelanta 6 meses a la Temporada de Impuestos

Se solicitan Preparadores de Impuestos voluntarios Suzanne Potter California News Service

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - La Fundacion AARP esta lanzando su llamado para reclutar voluntarios para su exitoso programa TaxAide, que cada primavera ofrece servicios gratuitos para la preparacion de impuestos. Hector Chao, voluntario de Tax-Aide desde hace largo tiempo, dice que no hace falta ser contador o experto preparador de impuestos para participar como voluntario, porque todos reciben un intensivo entrenamiento respaldado por el IRS.

Suzanne Potter California News Service SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The AARP Foundation is recruiting volunteers now for its highly successful and popular Tax-Aide program, which offers free tax-preparation services each spring. The program, now in its fifty-first year, has helped more than 68 million people file their taxes since its inception. In 2018 alone, people who used the service got $1.3 billion in income-tax refunds and more than $213 million in Earned Income Tax Credits. Hector Chao, a longtime Tax-Aide volunteer, says you don't have to be an accountant or tax preparer to join in - because all volunteers get comprehensive IRS-backed training. "We take a course and then if we pass the test, then we are assigned to do

the work," says. "So it's challenging and, besides, it allows us to help somebody else." Last year, almost 3,000 volunteers helped more than 178,000 Californians file their state and federal tax returns. There are 381 Tax-Aide sites in California, including many at senior centers and libraries. Learn more here. Chao says he's been volunteering since 2004 and encourages others to get involved. "Normally, this takes place only during the tax season, which is February through April," he explains. "However, during the year there is a continuing program for people who have to have amendments made to their tax returns." Nationwide, the Tax-Aide program is offered at nearly 5,000 sites, where more than 35,000 volunteers serve more than 2.5 million taxpayers each year.

AUGUST 10 - 16, 2018

Desde sus inicios el programa, que lleva ya 51 anos, ha ayudado a mas de 68 millones de personas a llenar sus formularios de impuestos. Tan solo en 2018, quienes han usado el servicio recibieron 1.3 billones de dolares en reembolsos del impuesto por ingresos, y mas de 213 en creditos de impuestos por ingresos obtenidos. Hector Chao, un auxiliar voluntario en TaxAide, dice que no hace falta ser contador o preparador de impuestos para inscribirse - porque todos los voluntarios reciben un

intensivo entrenamiento respaldado por el IRS. "Tomamos un curso y luego, si pasamos el examen, se nos asigna para hacer un trabajo. Asi que es un reto, y ademas nos permite ayudarle a alguien." El ano pasado casi 3 mil voluntarios ayudaron a casi 180 mil californianos a llenar sus declaraciones estatal y federal. Hay 381 locaciones de "Tax-Aide" en California, incluyendo muchas en centros para personas mayores y en bibliotecas. Para mayor informacion, visite www.aarpfoundation.org/taxaide "Normalmente esto tiene lugar solo durante la temporada de impuestos, que va de febrero a abril. Sin embargo, durante el resto del ano hay un programa continuo para personas cuyas declaraciones de impuestos necesiten modificaciones." A nivel nacional, el programa tax-Aide se ofrece en casi 5 mil sitios, donde mas de 35 mil voluntarios atienden a mas de 2.5 millones de contribuyentes cada ano.

It's a common misconception that bananas aren't as healthy due to the higher sugar content; however, the natural sugars in bananas come with fiber, which slows digestion and gives the body time to use it as fuel instead of storing it as fat. Grab a bunch of Chiquita bananas at the store and you have a convenient preworkout snack or perfect addition to your recovery shake. Cottage cheese: Scoop up some of this white wonder and enjoy with your favorite fruit or a sprinkle of your preferred herbs. You can also add a satisfying crunch by sprinkling in omega-rich cashews or almonds.

For fitness folks, this protein helps assist in rebuilding and repair of muscles during training periods. Smoothies: Refreshing, energizing and perfectly customizable, smoothies feel more like a treat than a healthy snack.

SI DICE ‘SIN GLUTEN’ SIGNIFICA AHORA QUE NO TIENE GLUTEN tolerar alimentos con cantidades muy pequeñas de gluten. Este nivel coincide con los establecidos por otros países y organismos internacionales que sientan normas de inocuidad alimentaria. “Esta definición normalizada de ‘sin gluten’ eliminará la incertidumbre sobre cómo los productores de alimentos etiquetan sus productos. Quienes padecen la enfermedad celíaca pueden estar seguros de que los alimentos etiquetados como ‘sin gluten’ satisfacen una norma clara establecida e impuesta por la FDA”, afirma Felicia Billingslea, directora de la División de Normas y Etiquetado de Alimentos de la FDA. ¿Qué es el gluten?

FDA En agosto de 2013, la Administración de Alimentos y Medicamentos (FDA, por sus siglas en inglés) dio a conocer una norma definitiva que definía las características que debe tener un alimento para etiquetarse como “sin gluten” (gluten-free). La norma también somete al mismo criterio a los alimentos cuya etiqueta diga “no contiene gluten”, “libre de gluten” y “no gluten”. Los fabricantes tenían un año para que sus etiquetas cumplieran con la norma. Cualquier producto alimentario etiquetado a partir del 5 de agosto de 2014 o después debe acatar sus requisitos. La norma fue bien recibida por los intercesores de las personas que sufren la enfermedad celíaca, quienes enfrentan padecimientos potencialmente mortales si consumen el gluten, tipicamente contenido en panes, pastelitos, cereales, pastas y muchos otros alimentos. La enfermedad celíaca no tiene cura y la única forma de controlar esta enfermedad es no comiendo gluten. Sin una definición normalizada del término “sin gluten”, estos consumidores no podían saber antes a ciencia cierta si su cuerpo toleraría un alimento que afirmará eso en la etiqueta. Como uno de los criterios para afirmar que se es “sin gluten”, la FDA fijó un límite para el contenido de gluten inferior a 20 ppm (partes por millón) para la presencia inevitable de gluten en los alimentos que porten esta etiqueta. Éste es el nivel más bajo que se puede detectar de manera sistemática en los alimentos usando instrumentos de análisis científicos válidos. Además, la mayoría de las personas que padecen la enfermedad celíaca pueden

Gluten es una mezcla de proteínas que se producen de manera natural en el trigo, el centeno, la cebada y las variedades híbridas de estos cereales. Casi 3 millones de personas padecen la enfermedad celíaca en los Estados Unidos. Ésta se da cuando el sistema de defensa natural del organismo reacciona contra el gluten atacando las paredes del intestino delgado. Sin paredes intestinales sanas, el cuerpo no puede absorber los nutrientes que necesita. Esto puede tener como consecuencia retrasos en el crecimiento y deficiencias nutricionales, y puede ocasionar padecimientos tales como anemia (un número de glóbulos rojos por debajo del normal) y osteoporosis, una enfermedad en la cual los huesos se tornan frágiles y más propensos a quebrarse. Otros problemas de salud graves pueden incluir diabetes, enfermedad tiroidea autoinmune y diversos tipos de cáncer intestinal. ¿Cómo define la FDA el término ‘sin gluten’? Además de limitar la presencia inevitable del gluten a menos de 20 ppm, la FDA ahora permite a los fabricantes etiquetar un alimento como “sin gluten” si no contiene ninguno de los ingredientes siguientes: • cualquier tipo de trigo, centeno, cebada o variedades híbridas de estos cereales; • cualquiera derivado de estos cereales que no haya sido procesado para eliminar el gluten; o

entró en contacto con la comida sea inferior a 20 ppm. Al amparo de la nueva norma, un alimento cuya etiqueta porte la leyenda “sin gluten” (gluten-free), o “libre de gluten”, “no contiene gluten” o “no gluten”, pero que no satisfaga los requisitos de la norma, se considerará como identificado de manera engañosa y sujeto a las medidas de control de la FDA. Si los consumidores tienen alguna duda sobre los ingredientes de un producto, de que si tiene o no gluten, deben ponerse en contacto con el fabricante o consultar su sitio web para obtener más información. Si los consumidores desean reporter un problema de etiquetado relacionado con el etiquetado sin gluten (por ejemplo, el producto dice que es "libre de gluten" pero enlista harina de trigo en la lista de ingredientes), o si experimentan una reacción negativa a un producto etiquetado como "sin gluten" pueden comunicarse con su coordinador de quejas del consumidor de la FDA en www.fda.gov/safety/reportaproblem/ consumercomplaintcoordinators/default. htm. ¿Y en los restaurantes?

AUGUST 10 - 16, 2018 "sin gluten" en sus menús. La regla final de"libre de gluten" se aplica a los alimentos envasados, que pueden venderse en algunos establecimientos minoristas y de servicios de alimentos, como algunos restaurantes para llevar. Sin embargo, dada la importancia para la salud pública del etiquetado "libre de gluten", los restaurantes que anuncien productos "sin gluten" en sus menús deben ser consistentes con la definición de la FDA. Billingslea sugiere a los consumidores a los que les preocupe que los restaurantes usen la afirmación de “sin gluten” que hagan las siguientes preguntas al momento de ordenar una comida así descrita: • ¿A qué se refiere el restaurante con el término “sin gluten”?” • ¿Qué ingredientes se usan para preparar esta comida? • ¿Cómo se prepara esta comida? Los gobiernos estatales y locales desempeñan un papel importante en la supervisión de los restaurantes. La FDA continuará trabajando con us socios en los gobiernos estatales y locales con respecto al etiquetado de "sin gluten" en los restaurantes.

SUNNYVALE’S “HEAD-TO-TOE: BACKPACK DAY” PROGRAM A SUCCESS $150,000 Raised to Provide Low-Income Students with School Supplies and Shoes

Sunnyvale Community Services

closely aligned with the SRGNC Education and Community Foundation’s emphasis on education and community—SRGNC has previously partnered with schools and given grants to local organizations in an effort to improve local communities throughout the Bay Area. Over 15 volunteers from SRGNC and the Cityline Sunnyvale team were on hand to help distribute backpacks and supplies to children during Friday’s all-day event.

SUNNYVALE, CA –This past Friday, August 3rd, Sunnyvale Community Services (SCS) held its annual “Head-to-Toe: Backpack Day,” a backto-school event that distributes backpacks, school supplies, gift certificates for new shoes, books, dental hygiene kits, and bags of nutritious food to 1,800 low-income Sunnyvale school children. Sunnyvale Mayor Glenn Hendricks, Vice Mayor Larry Klein, City Councilmember Gustav Larsson, U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna, and over a dozen Public Safety Officers all attended Backpack Day to show their support of this important program. The program’s Premier Sponsors were The Sares Regis Group of Northern California (SRGNC) Education and Community Foundation and Hunter Storm, who reached out to business partners working on CityLine Sunnyvale and other projects to raise a total of $150,000. This commitment comes from an ongoing collaboration between SRGNC, Hunter Storm, and the City of Sunnyvale to develop CityLine Sunnyvale, a multi-phase redevelopment project over 36 acres in the heart of downtown Sunnyvale. “We are extremely grateful to Sares Regis for reaching out to its wide network and helping us to meet our ambitious financial goal for Backpack Day this year,” says Marie Bernard, Executive Director of SCS. “The rising

“Seeing the excitement in these kids’ faces as they picked out their new backpacks was extremely rewarding for us,” says David N.P. Hopkins, Chief Operating Officer at SRGNC. “We’re proud to give back to our own community in this way, as it’s something that is an integral part of our Foundation and who we are. We established this Foundation with the goal of giving back to the communities in which we live and work, and we’re grateful that we’ve been given the opportunity to make a difference for so many children living in Sunnyvale.”

This year, a Sunnyvale fire truck, Sharkie from the San Jose Sharks, Belle and the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, and the Paw Patrol all stopped by throughout the day to bring extra smiles to children’s faces while they selected their special backpack for the new school year.

ADDRESSING FAMILIES SEPARATED BY MASS INCARCERATION Soundbite Services Children with a parent in prison are more likely to experience mental-health problems and face additional education challenges. (Boardhead/Wikimedia Commons)YPSILANTI, Mich. — For weeks, Americans have been gripped by reports of young children being separated from their parents along the U.S.-Mexico border, and human rights activists are pointing to the nation's mass incarceration system as another ongoing example of families torn apart. Natalie Holbrook, with the American Friends Service Committee, said infants born behind bars are separated from their mothers almost immediately, and many end up going directly into the foster care system. "We know how important it is for skinto-skin contact, but babies will be taken away,” Holbrook said. “Even though the World Health Organization says that breast milk is best for vulnerable infants and babies, they are not allowed access to

breast milk." Having a parent in prison can impact children's mental health, social behavior and educational prospects. The trauma and stress of disrupted family life also can be compounded by the social stigma faced by children with parents behind bars. Demetrius Titus, also with the American Friends Service Committee, was sentenced to two life sentences at the peak of the nation's war on drugs for possession and intent to distribute a controlled substance. He was 22 years old at the time, had no previous record and was enrolled in college. He also had two young daughters. "You can write, you can call, you can have visits, it's still an extremely difficult situation because it's a broken bond,” Titus said. “Pretty much having to watch them grow up from a distance probably was the most singularly difficult thing I've ever had to deal with in my life." Holbrook suggested the roots of mass incarceration in the U.S. can be traced back to the days of slavery, where children

were routinely sold and separated from families. Racial minorities are more likely than whites to be arrested, convicted and face higher sentences. Still, Holbrook said, many moms and dads are resilient, and have been able to do a good job of parenting behind bars. "But it's still not like being able to have your mom or dad kiss you goodnight, and be there if you wake up sick in the middle of the night,” she said. “It's not the normal family involvement that we need to create

AUGUST 10 - 16, 2018 healthy and whole communities." Holbrook said taxpayer money that currently fuels the $182 billion annual prison economy should be redirected to education, mental health and substanceabuse treatment. The U.S. puts more people behind bars than any other nation. Since 1970, the number of incarcerated people has grown by nearly 700 percent, to more than 2 million people, far outpacing population growth and crime.

WASHINGTON – Millions of people across the U.S. gathered for National Night Out events Tuesday to build camaraderie between communities and local law enforcement. The annual observance is intended to encourage relationships with those sworn to serve and protect. Vera Bumpers, president of the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement, says this year, conversations are much needed about threats to the safety of residents and law enforcement, including the nation's gun epidemic and new 3D-printed gun technology that will allow nearly anyone to create a deadly weapon. "Beyond just the 3D printer, there are many concerns in the community trying to deal with the strain between law enforcement and the youth, the shootings,” Bumpers states. “So, this is just an opportunity for us to talk, to impart some knowledge about what law enforcement does and to hear their concerns." 3D-printed guns can be constructed from plastic

and are capable of firing standard handgun ammunition. And Bumpers contends they're a serious public safety threat, as they'd be untraceable and invisible to metal detectors.

There have been 150 mass shootings in the U.S. so far this year. Bumpers says local law enforcement is interested in the concerns of the communities they serve, but points out that many people never interact with police until there's a threat to their safety. She notes regular communication can foster relationships, and she encourages people to become informed about how they can help create a safer community. "Do homework,” she urges. “Before taking a position on anything, make sure you do your research. “And discuss – talk and reach out to law enforcement professionals, and make sure there is dialogue." More than 38 million people from all 50 states participated in last year's National Night Out with vigils, block parties, parades and other events. Due to summer heat, Texas hosts its events in October.

DISNEYLAND RESORT OFRECE UNA ‘SORPRESA’ A SUS VISITANTES: MÁS DÍAS QUE NUNCA PARA CELEBRAR HALLOWEEN

Jinete Sin Cabeza de Sleepy Hollow de la clásica película animada de Disney “The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad”, quien eleva su cabeza de calabaza al cielo. Los ciudadanos de Cars Land celebran Halloween con la transformación de Radiator Springs en Radiator Screams. Toda el área temática se convierte en Haul-O-Ween, la versión de Halloween de Radiator Springs, y los residentes lucen disfraces de la temporada y decoran sus respectivos hogares especialmente para la ocasión. Los visitantes verán a Lightning McQueen, Mater, Cruz, Red y DJ “auto-disfrazados” mientras se preparan para salir a “Trick or Treat”. Las atracciones populares de Cars Land también se transforman: Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree será de lo más fantasmagórica al convertirse en Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree, y Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters recibirá el toque de la temporada al cambiar a Luigi’s Honkin’ HaulO-Ween. Cada noche, Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! se convertirá en Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark, trayéndole las aventuras de Halloween a esta popular atracción. Al ponerse el sol, el exterior de la atracción se oscurece y, de repente, efectos de iluminación dan la impresión que algo raro está sucediendo. Los Guardianes se han escapado de la Fortaleza del Coleccionista, pero han dejado atrás a Groot. Los visitantes ayudarán a Rocket a distraer a las criaturas que han sido soltadas para que él pueda encontrar y rescatar a Groot en esta emocionante transformación temporal de la atracción.

En este tiempo la gente tenderá a mostrarse susceptible, por ello debemos ser cautelosos a la hora de expresarnos, para no ofender ni lastimar a nadie. La atracción por el amor y el sexo será fuerte. Cuando la Luna transita por el signo de Escorpión, es el momento menos propicio para someterse a una cirugía. LUNA EN SAGITARIO Bajo la influencia de la Luna en Sagitario, se hará sentir el deseo de salir de la rutina, buscar aventuras, practicar deporte, ir a fiestas o viajar. La gente se mostrará más cálida y espontánea en sus reacciones. Como Sagitario está regido por Júpiter, observaremos una inclinación a la filosofía y surgirá el deseo de indagar en lo desconocido. Otras cualidades que se exaltarán son el entusiasmo, la alegría, el optimismo, la franqueza y la buena voluntad. Momento oportuno para dejar un lado las penas y las preocupaciones, y brindar ayuda a quien

Apple Is Getting into Original Content, Where Does That Leave Advertisers?

Commercials will still work for live broadcasts, but nowhere else.

No Commercials Needed (or Wanted)

Bad Dreams

We’re nearing a point where the consumer experience and product offerings brought to us by Netflix, Amazon, HBO, and Apple (NAHA) will replace commercial television for a substantial percentage of consumers. Since none of these services need (or want) to sell advertising time, the concept of “mass marketing” is about to change.

I can imagine a not-too-distant future filled with content “haves” and “have nots.” If you can afford to pay for NAHA, you’ll enjoy the most compelling content served with the best on-demand user experience. If you can’t, you’ll be stuck with unwatchable fodder that is created as cheaply as possible and designed so that the fewest number of viewers will tune out. Commercial television will devolve into filler between an almost unbearable number of commercials (yes, it can get worse than it is now), and advertisers will still reach only a fraction of the audiences they need to reach.

What About Data?

Apple is now a trillion-dollar company. Better-than-expected iPhone sales have propelled the company to be wealthier than all but the 15 richest companies in the world, and only the second company (following PetroChina, an oil and gas company) to reach that valuation. But wait, there’s one more thing … With Apple TV unit sales and revenue growing by “very strong double digits” last quarter, and a 100 percent increase in third-party providers (like AT&T’s DirecTV Now) using the Apple TV platform as the go-to-market device for their services, Apple has its sights set on another heretofore untapped market for the company: original content. “The cord cutting in our view is only going to accelerate and probably accelerate at a much faster rate than is widely thought,” said Tim Cook. In August 2017, Apple announced plans to spend about $1 billion to acquire 10 TV shows. The company has since signed deals with Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television and Sesame Workshop, and hired Jay Hunt, who brought shows like Black Mirror and The Great British Bake Off to Channel 4 in the U.K. Then, There’s Netflix, Amazon, and HBO Apple will be joining a crowded and very competitive marketplace. Netflix (125

million subscribers), the market leader, is set to invest $8 billion on content in 2018 (which is up from $6 billion last year). Amazon (95 million subscribers), is set to spend $4.5 billion on content in 2018, with estimates that its upcoming Lord of the Rings series could cost $500 million (and that’s after the $250 million Amazon spent to win the rights to stream the show).

… It’s just a reality that doing a show will cost more.”

Imagine reducing commercial broadcast television audiences by 25 percent. What impact would it have on a national advertiser’s ability to drive velocity at retail for a mass-manufactured, massdistributed brand? Will Facebook and Google fill the void? Is there even enough digital inventory to make up the difference?

Perhaps the evolution of mass communication will leverage the wealth of data NAHA collects. There are probably some very interesting ways to use content tokens and loyalty programs to help subsidize subscription costs. But I’m not sure that any of these organizations are motivated to do anything that would confuse their subscribers or negatively impact their consumer experiences.

Where does this leave mass-market advertisers? It’s probably time to start thinking about how many-to-many (social) communication can be re-engineered for maximum reach to supplement or replace one-to-many (broadcast) communication. Of course, other solutions come to mind – one of the NAHAs may find advertising dollars irresistible. We’ll see. Author’s note: This is not a sponsored post.

HBO (54 million subscribers), the platform that has Game of Thrones, spent $2 billion on content in 2017. Game of Thrones was never an inexpensive show to make, but budgets have gotten far bigger as the series has rolled on. Its first-season episodes cost (on average) $6 million each, but each of the six (nearly feature-length) episodes that will make up 2019’s eighth (and final) season will cost $15 million (or perhaps even more). With multiple prequels planned (to launch in 2020 and beyond), HBO has big plans and even bigger budgets; Francesca Orsi, HBO senior VP of drama, has said, “$50 million (per season) would never fly for what we are trying to do. We are going big.” As the saying goes, when you play the game of thrones, you win or you die – but either way, you wind up spending a lot of money. In discussing the nine-figure deals Netflix has given Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes, HBO programming chief Casey Bloys told the Hollywood Reporter, “You kind of have to adjust to the marketplace

EL VIDEOJUEGO "SPIDER MAN" TRATA DE EMULAR EL ÉXITO DE MARVEL EN EL CINE

With a CEFCU® Vehicle Loan... Getting there together is better than going it alone.

Celia Sierra EFE Madrid - El videojuego "Spider Man", que estará disponible a partir del próximo 7 de septiembre en exclusiva para PlayStation 4, trata de emular el éxito de las últimas adaptaciones de Marvel al cine con una propuesta con categoría de superproducción. No es la primera vez que el hombre araña protagoniza un videojuego pero sí que le rodea tanta espectación: ha contado con más de cien personas dedicadas a su desarrollado y ha llevado varios años. "No queríamos contar la misma historia que se puede ver en la película o la que puedes leer en los cómic", explicó a Efe durante la presentación del videojuego en Madrid, Bryan Intihar, director creativo de Insomniac Games, el estudio que firma la producción, y que se ha empleado a fondo tanto en la parte técnica como en el guión de la historia. El videojuego ubica a Peter Parker justo después de acabar la universidad, un "momento crucial" en el que descubre que puede salvar al mundo con su trabajo de científico y en el que, en el plano personal, es independiente pero descubre la importancia de "apoyarse en otras personas", subraya. "Me gustaría que la gente lo viera y se pueda sentir identificado con él, adoro las últimas películas de Marvel, han hecho algo más que llevar a los superhéroes a la gran pantalla -explica-, si quitas todo el universo de cómic, lo que te queda es una gran historia".

Pone como ejemplo "Guardians of the Galaxy", uno de los más recientes éxitos de Marvel en el cine que a su juicio, no trata sobre un grupo de superhéroes y sus aventuras "sino de cómo una familia puede tener formas muy diferentes". "Spider Man" cuenta con personajes secundarios conocidos de los cómics del hombre araña como su tía May o su novia Mary Jane, e incorpora villanos como Escorpión o Silver Sable, y otros menos conocidos como el Señor Negativo (antagonista principal). El escenario sigue siendo Nueva York: "Queríamos que la ciudad fuera un personaje más (...) Aunque es una nueva historia del personaje, realmente queríamos mantener su ADN", subraya Intihar, cuyo equipo se ha empleado a fondo en las perspectivas y en los detalles: "queríamos tener mucha gente, muchos vehículos, que es coo son las calles de esta ciudad".

Aunque todo sigue igual, este nuevo "Spider Man" sí tiene un sello distintivo, cambia su reconocible emblema de la araña al color blanco, avanza el director creativo del proyecto, que reconoce que trabajar con una saga tan importante "es mucha presión". Un videojuego que llegará unos meses antes del estreno, en diciembre, de la nueva cinta de animación del hombre araña, "Spider-Man: Into the SpiderVerse". Y que servirá además para mantener el interés por el superhéroe, que regresará a la gran pantalla con la cara Tom Holland en julio de 2019 con "SpiderMan: Far From Home".
