THE IMPORTANCE OF MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS cur in the business community.

Basic to all these inter-relationships is communication as a very essential skill that each and every one of us must practice.

Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR

M

y daughter Mary suggested that this nation needed to discuss mental health during this month of September which happens to be Mental Health Awareness Month.

Closely coupled with mental health is the fact that suicide prevention is the second leading cause of death amongst youthful folks, ages 10 to 26. In addition, our community recently experienced its first mass shooting at Gilroy.

San Jose's Mayor Sam Liccardo stated that this nation has 390 million firearms in its communities. This existing reservoir makes a handgun (or other firearm) easily available to any individual with the impulse to shoot another individual or commit suicide.

Suicides would be sharply curtailed if each of us made it a point to talk to a friend, acquaintance or neighbor occasionally. Caring human inter-relationships and friendships are the best way to prevent suicide. The family unit is the basic supportive infrastructure which transfers values, traditions, and resources which are essential to nurturing practices which transfer information and feelings from one individual to another.

It is here that parental and sibling relationships are learned and practiced first. There are traditions and social contacts that oc-

The recent mass shootings at Gilroy, CA; El Paso, TX; Midland, TX and Odessa, TX were all undertaken by individuals who may be characterized as follows: White Anglo-Saxon Male, age 18 to 30, each very angry and disturbed about something; each decided to express (release) that anger by shooting someone and/or a certain targeted group.

In one case, the perpetrator decided to drive hundreds of miles to enable targeting Mexican American individuals. Definitely a very racist white superiority expression of that individuals basic core personal values.

What did a Mexican American do to merit this? This may be the consequence of values and attitudes learned from parents who were prejudicial biased bigots in the home. This may indicate a prejudicial perspective that those individuals just immigrated from Mexico when historical fact conveys the reality that in SouthWestern America, the residents were citizens of Mexico who became citizens of America after the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo agreement was signed (1846).

A reality is that history documents the migration of Northern Europeans (Anglo-Saxons) who just took over land ownership (land formerly owned by tribes and communities rather than individuals who had been awarded title to the lands by European Royalty.

It is time to realize that the best lands were simply taken away from tribal communities which

did not have recorded titles but had resided on those lands for lengthy historical times.

All this created much mental health stress which was the basis of stratification of our American society. Native Americans were sequestered in reservations to get them off their tribal lands which were then parceled out as farmlands owned by aggressive and assertive Whites. This is the basis for a certain level of mental health stress which was carried forward from one generation to the next.

In one recent case, the perpetrator had just been fired so he went home to get his weapons; and then went out to begin killing whoever happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

His was not a mental health issue.

Rather his anger motivated the killing of others as an outcome of deranged mental processes.

In each and every case recently, the perpetrator (shooter) was an angry WASP male who decided to express his anger by shooting someone.

And having access to a military high-performance weapon, such as an AK-15 military rifle, each perpetrator was able to kill at least 20 victims during the first 40 seconds of active shooting.

This simple functional feature is why any and all military high-performance rifles must be licensed, and their owners must become licensed, so the community knows where these weapons exist and who owns them.

Where do these deranged individuals get the notion that killing others will help resolve the issue

troubling them? Could it be all those video games wherein one shoots to kill the enemy? Recall that Japan has many youths playing video games wherein one shoots to kill, and as a nation of 130 million residents experiences less than 10-gun shootings per year!

In contrast, here in America, our national community experiences almost 40,000-gun killings per year and about 30,000 suicides per year (all fatal gun shootings of oneself).

Most certainly, mental health issues which impact personal temperament are involved. And most assuredly, perpetrators of shootings have lost their self-control and especially their sense of civil behavior which does no harm to others. In several cases, white supremacist ideology was the basis of the action taken (the shooting of an unarmed American Black youth who was a pedestrian in a white neighborhood (a case in Florida wherein the perpetrator (shooter) was acquitted by a jury based upon Florida's Stand your Ground laws recently enacted into law.

The current sitting President often speaks in pejorative racist terms - and acts them out, all of which have encouraged those biased, prejudiced and bigoted elements of our community to come out of the shadows. Prior to this current sitting President, these individuals kept their thoughts to themselves.

Today, since they have a President who openly is racist; this element of our society feels they have received permission to come out into the open with their biases, bigotries, prejudiced

laced racism. Unfortunately, this sort of public behavior is not what our youth need to see and emulate. As a people we must consistently keep in mind that our youth learn from adults by what they see us do, say, and act out.

The MENTAL HEALTH of our community is always on display and always seen by our vigilant youth.

If we are to have a civil society wherein each of us treats others with respect, acceptance and dignity, then we collectively need to always practice the discipline which displays those sentiments.

The result is the mitigation of inter-relationship stress which improves our collective mental health.

We feel very good when we practice those habits and express values which establish peace, security and safety in our homes and communities. Our Mental Health is always on display. Each of us must resolve to be disciplined enough to establish those environments of safety and security which enable us to enjoy the pleasures of life anywhere, especially at home, with our friends in the community and where we work.

We must understand that by sharing resources, discussing issues, and making the effort to be involved in this diverse community, we have the capability of establishment of excellent mental health levels throughout. Let's resolve to do what it takes to have that sort of positive ambiance.

Become aware of Mental Health in yourself and others. That is what is required

LAS LECCIONES DE MARÍA José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

autoridades aseguran que de ningunas maneras serán afectadas sus responsabilidades centrales, pero la imprevisibilidad de la temporada de huracanes pone en duda la conveniencia de erosionar los recursos de FEMA.

A

casi dos años del azote del poderoso y destructivo huracán María, que dejó un saldo de más de 5,700 muertos antes y después del paso de la tormenta en Puerto Rico, República Dominicana y las Islas Vírgenes estadounidenses, el igualmente intenso huracán Dorian obliga a preguntar si los Estados Unidos aprendieron la lección de esa tragedia anunciada.

Aunque al impacto catastrófico de María -el huracán más letal desde Mitch en 1998– se le puede atribuir una parte del inusualmente alto número de fatalidades, especialmente en Puerto Rico, está documentado que muchas muertes fueron resultado de un insuficiente acceso a atención médica apropiada, una situación complicada por la falta de energía eléctrica durante semanas.

Aunque supuestamente la Administración Federal de Manejo de Emergencias (FEMA) ha buscado subsanar esas deficiencias a través del fortalecimiento del

Que los reportes de la desviación de recursos de emergencia se dieran a conocer en medio del azote del huracán Dorian arreciaron el fuego de la controversia. Aun cuando el huracán no golpeó de frente a la costa este de los Estados Unidos, pasó peligrosamente cerca de Puerto Rico y causó una devastación sin precedentes en Bahamas.

Photo Credit: Unsplash sistema de la salud de la isla, empezando por la necesidad de contar con generadores de electricidad en hospitales y clínicas, llama la atención la polémica decisión de la administración Trump de desviar 155 millones de dólares del presupuesto del Fondo de Desastres de FEMA para la Oficina de Inmigración y Aduanas (ICE).

Medios estadounidenses documentaron que el Departamento

de Seguridad Interna (DHS) notificó al Congreso estadounidense en julio pasado que los fondos de desastre de FEMA serían canalizados a financiar el pago de jueces para realizar audiencias migratorias para los casos de solicitantes de asilo. Aunque no son inusuales las transferencias internas de recursos en agencias federales, es motivo de preocupación que se haya hecho en medio de la temporada de huracanes.

El presidente del Comité de Seguridad Interna de la Cámara de Representantes, el demócrata Bennie Thompson inicio gestiones para que se restablezcan los fondos al fondo de desastres, tomando en cuenta que la temporada de huracanes terminará hasta el 30 de noviembre.

Es verdad que se trata de sólo una parte de los 25,000 millones de dólares del fondo total de recursos de FEMA y que las

FEMA ha avanzado en construir un sistema digital que facilita encontrar albergues, informar de suministros de emergencia y de alertas de emergencia, es una lástima que cualquier progreso haya quedado opacado por la impresión de que la política de emergencias fue hecha rehén de la política migratoria.

MARIA'S LESSONS

A

José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

It is true that it is only a part of the 25,000 million dollars of the total fund of FEMA resources and that the authorities assure that in no way will their central responsibilities be affected, but the unpredictability of the hurricane season calls into question the convenience of eroding FEMA resources.

lmost two years after the scourge of the powerful and destructive hurricane Maria, which left a balance of more than 5,700 dead before and after the storm in Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic and the US Virgin Islands, the equally intense hurricane Dorian forces to ask if the United States learned the lesson of that tragedy announced.

Although Maria's catastrophic impact - the most lethal hurricane since Mitch in 1998 - can be attributed a portion of the unusually high number of fatalities, especially in Puerto Rico, it is documented that many deaths were the result of insufficient access to appropriate medical care, a situation complicated by the lack of electricity for weeks.

Although the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA) has allegedly sought to address these deficiencies through the strengthening of the island's health system, starting with the need for electricity generators in hospitals and clinics, the controversy is striking Trump's decision to divert $ 155 million from the FEMA Disaster Fund budget for the Office of Immigra-

That reports of the diversion of emergency resources were released amid the scourge of Hurricane Dorian exacerbated the fire of the controversy. Even though the hurricane did not hit the east coast of the United States, it passed dangerously near Puerto Rico and caused unprecedented devastation in the Bahamas.

FEMA has made progress in building a digital system that facilitates finding shelters, informing of emergency supplies and emergency alerts, it is a pity that any progress has been overshadowed by the impression that the emergency policy was held hostage to immigration policy.

US media documented that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) notified the US Congress last July that FEMA disaster funds would be channeled to finance the payment of judges to conduct immigration hearings for asylum seeker cases.

EARTHTALK Q&A: SPRINKLING DUST TO THE STRATOSPHERE? Dear EarthTalk: Is the plan to sprinkle dust in the stratosphere to reflect some of the sun’s rays away from Earth to prevent global warming science or science fiction?

-- M. Jackson, Tampa, FL

ENGLISH

ESPAÑOL

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss Earth Talk

De lo que estamos hablando es de una forma de geoingeniería que implica enviar unos 800 aviones gigantes para rociar su carga útil de millones de toneladas de polvo de tiza en la estratosfera, a 12 millas sobre la superficie de la Tierra, en un esfuerzo por reflejar algo del sol. calentar de nuevo al espacio para cambiar el rumbo del cambio climático.

S

ome certainly do consider it science fiction, or worry that it could end up doing more environmental harm than good.

Yet others—including Bill Gates and a team of leading Harvard scientists—think it could be the solution to our planetary climate woes.

What we’re talking about is a form of geo-engineering that entails sending up some 800 jumbo planes to sprinkle their payload of millions of tons of chalk dust in the stratosphere 12 miles above the Earth’s surface in an effort to reflect some of the sun’s heat back into space to turn the tide on climate change.

The so-called Stratospheric Controlled Perturbation Experiment (SCoPEx) was developed by chemist James Anderson and physicist David Keith, both of Harvard—with funding from Bill Gates—“to advance understanding of stratospheric aerosols that could be relevant to solar geoengineering.” The researchers want to test their hypothesis with a $3 million experiment 12 miles above the Southwestern United States where they would steer remote controlled balloons to disperse small plumes of calcium carbonate.

The balloons would then turn around and observe any differences in the amount of solar radiation getting through. This system is adapted from a similar design the researchers used in groundbreaking research analyzing the composition of the stratospheric ozone layer.

But the test plan, initially slated for early 2019, has received some pushback from scientists and environmentalists, who worry that such tinkering could cause negative chain reactions and unforeseen irreversible consequences.

“Some researchers have suggested that solar geoengineering could alter precipitation patterns and even lead to more droughts in some regions,” reports Jeff Tollefson on Nature.com.

“Others warn that one of the possible benefits of solar geoengineering—maintaining crop yields by protecting them from heat stress— might not come to pass.” He cites a 2018 study showing that yields of wheat, corn, rice and soy fell after two major volcanic eruptions darkened skies around the planet and took a toll on crop yields.

Given such concerns, Anderson and Keith are erring on the side of caution, setting up an external advisory committee to review the project and point out potential safety concerns to head off negative side effects. “Getting it done right is far more important than getting it done quickly,” says Peter Frumhoff of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

If they can pull off a successful test and then scale the idea, the good news is it might even be something the governments of the world— and/or some rich benefactors—can afford. An October 2018 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that dispersing enough sulfur in the stratosphere with a similar (cooling) intent could be done for less than $10 billion/year—and possibly for as little as $1 billion/year. While that might seem like a lot, it’s a bargain if it can save our environment, our civilization, and our very existence on the planet.

El llamado Experimento de perturbación controlada estratosférica (SCoPEx) fue desarrollado por el químico James Anderson y el físico David Keith, ambos de Harvard, con financiamiento de Bill Gates, "para avanzar en la comprensión de los aerosoles estratosféricos que podrían ser relevantes para la geoingeniería solar". quieren probar su hipótesis con un experimento de $ 3 millones a 12 millas sobre el suroeste de los Estados Unidos, donde dirigirían globos controlados a distancia para dispersar pequeñas columnas de carbonato de calcio.

Los globos se darían la vuelta y observarían cualquier diferencia en la cantidad de radiación solar que pasara. Este sistema está adaptado de un diseño similar que los investigadores utilizaron en investigaciones innovadoras que analizan la composición de la capa de ozono estratosférico.

Pero el plan de prueba, inicialmente programado para principios de 2019, ha recibido cierto rechazo de científicos y ambientalistas, que temen que tales ajustes puedan causar reacciones en cadena negativas y consecuencias irreversibles imprevistas.

"Algunos investigadores han sugerido que la geoingeniería solar podría alterar los patrones de precipitación e incluso provocar más sequías en algunas regiones", informa Jeff Tollefson en Nature.com. "Otros advierten que uno de los posibles beneficios de la geoingeniería solar (mantener los rendimientos de los cultivos al protegerlos del estrés por calor) podría no suceder". Cita un estudio de 2018 que muestra que los rendimientos de trigo, maíz, arroz y soja cayeron después de dos grandes Las erupciones volcánicas oscurecieron los cielos alrededor del planeta y afectaron los rendimientos de los cultivos.

Dadas tales preocupaciones, Anderson y Keith están errando por el lado de la precaución, estableciendo un comité asesor externo para revisar el proyecto y señalar posibles preocupaciones de seguridad para evitar efectos secundarios negativos. "Hacerlo bien es mucho más importante que hacerlo rápidamente", dice Peter Frumhoff, de la Unión de Científicos Preocupados.

Si pueden realizar una prueba exitosa y luego escalar la idea, la buena noticia es que incluso podría ser algo que los gobiernos del mundo, y / o algunos benefactores ricos, puedan permitirse. Un informe de octubre de 2018 del Panel Intergubernamental sobre Cambio Climático descubrió que dispersar suficiente azufre en la estratosfera con una intención similar (enfriamiento) podría hacerse por menos de $ 10 mil millones / año, y posiblemente por tan solo $ 1 mil millones / año. Si bien eso puede parecer mucho, es una ganga si puede salvar nuestro medio ambiente, nuestra civilización y nuestra propia existencia en el planeta.

here’s no good reason to wait until the new year to focus on self-improvement.

There’s also no excuse. September is Self-Improvement Month, and a fine time to learn a new skill, take up an old hobby or set a goal.

Here are five cool ideas to try out over the course of the month: • Start coding: Whether you want to switch careers and become a software or web developer or simply take up a new hobby, learning to code can open a world of possibilities, while keeping your mind active and vital. And these days, free online tutorials available in dozens of programming languages, can help you get started without any tools required but time and dedication.

• Learn to play piano: Learning a musical instrument can improve focus, enhance memory and reduce stress.

• Set a reading goal: You don’t have to be a student to complete a reading challenge.

Whether it’s to read 5 non-fiction books over the course of the month or get through that classic tome that’s been sitting on your bookshelf for years, give yourself a reading goal to achieve this month.

• Get outdoors: Spending time exercising in nature has powerful physical and mental health benefits. Give yourself the motivation needed to get outdoors with a wearable device, such as the WSD-F30 Pro Trek Smart Outdoor Watch, which includes a built-in compass, altimeter and barometer, as well as a slew of fitness and nature apps designed to promote wellness and help you better appreciate your surroundings.

• Start saving: If you don’t have a savings account, think about opening one during

the month of September. Make it painless by having the fund draw automated monthly payments from your checking account. Then sit back and watch your savings grow.

Long before writing up resolutions, celebrate Self-Improvement Month, a perfect mid-year motivation for change and growth.

o hay una buena razón para esperar hasta el nuevo año para centrarse en la superación personal. Tampoco hay excusa. Septiembre es el mes de la superación personal, y es un buen momento para aprender una nueva habilidad, retomar un viejo pasatiempo o establecer una meta.

Aquí hay cinco ideas geniales para probar en el transcurso del mes: • Comience a codificar: ya sea que quiera cambiar de carrera y convertirse en un desarrollador de software o web o simplemente comenzar un nuevo pasatiempo, aprender a codificar puede abrir un mundo de posibilidades, mientras mantiene su mente activa y vital. Y en estos días, los tutoriales en línea gratuitos disponibles en docenas de lenguajes de programación pueden ayudarlo a comenzar sin necesidad de herramientas, sino tiempo y dedicación.

• Aprenda a tocar el piano: aprender un instrumento musical puede mejorar el enfoque, mejorar la memoria y reducir el estrés.

• Establezca un objetivo de lectura: no tiene que ser un estudiante para completar un desafío de lectura. Ya sea para leer 5 libros de no ficción en el transcurso del mes o leer ese tomo clásico que ha estado en su estantería durante años, consiga un objetivo de lectura para lograr este mes.

• Salga al aire libre: pasar tiempo haciendo ejercicio en la naturaleza tiene poderosos beneficios para la salud física y mental. Date la motivación necesaria para salir al aire libre con un dispositivo portátil, como el reloj para exteriores WSD-F30 Pro Trek Smart, que incluye una brújula, un altímetro y un barómetro integrados, así como una gran cantidad de aplicaciones de fitness y naturaleza diseñadas para promover bienestar y ayudarlo a apreciar mejor su entorno.

• Comience a ahorrar: si no tiene una cuenta de ahorros, piense en abrir una durante el mes de septiembre. Haga que sea sencillo hacer que el fondo retire pagos mensuales automáticos de su cuenta corriente. Luego, siéntese y vea crecer sus ahorros.

Mucho antes de redactar resoluciones, celebre el Mes de la superación personal, una motivación perfecta de medio año para el cambio y el crecimiento.

A diferencia de los cultivos de col, aunque los tomates todavía pueden crecer abundantemente en otoño, son vulnerables a las heladas, así que busque consejos sobre cómo hacer frente al clima frío en el sitio web de Bonnie.

horter days and cooler temperatures mean gardeners everywhere can flex their green thumb that much longer to squeeze every last moment out of the growing season.

Cooler temperatures make it a delight to spend time outside in the garden. You'll spend less time caring for crops because of the favorable cool weather growing conditions. Plants will grow rapidly at first and gradually slow as the days become shorter and colder. Destructive insects won't be as numerous, and weeds germinate less frequently and grow slower than they do during the warmer weather. Compared to hot and dry summers, fall usually brings an increase in precipitation, reducing another time-consuming chore -watering.

Veteran or novice gardener, if you're not ready to give up your garden, here's how to get growing: Use transplants: For the timeliest results, buy quality transplants that are already started, so the germination process is complete. You'll harvest six weeks sooner than growing from seed, with time to spare before the cold weather sets in.

Make friends with frost: Cole crops (German for cabbage, as in coleslaw), such as cauliflower, cabbage and kale grow well in cooler temperatures; and they taste even better when nipped

by Jack Frost, since frost encourages cole crops to produce sugar, which in turn, makes them sweeter. Unlike cole crops, while tomatoes can still grow plentifully in fall, they are vulnerable to frost, so look for tips on how to cope with cold weather on Bonnie's website.

The experts at Bonnie Plants offer some fall gardening tips to make the most of the time you have left before winter: * Location, location, location: Plan your fall garden with enough sunlight (six to eight hours per day) to grow and thrive, while allowing for some afternoon shade. Spend time noting the sunniest spots and plant accordingly. * Prep the perfect soil. Just like humans, plants need their own brand of nutrition to thrive. Working in some compost can be beneficial, as well as removing spent plants, and weeds. Freshen garden soil by removing any mulch, then replace it. Straw makes an excellent cover; it's easily scattered and is also a favorite home for spiders that control pests naturally. * Consider containers. Container gardening is a quick, easy and cost-effective way to grow your own food at home, plus it's great for small spaces or urban dwellers who may not have greenspace.

Pick your plants. From showy lettuces to hearty cole crops, fall provides a cornucopia of choices.

Some good, cool weather choices are: * Georgia collards: These greens are prized for their sweet, cabbage-like flavor and are rich in vitamins and minerals. * Spinach: A cool-weather favorite is fast-growing, yielding many leaves in a short time span. * Artwork Broccoli: This variety is unique; instead of producing one large broccoli head, it yields tender, dark green side shoots with bite-size heads and long, edible stems - perfect for stir fry and sautéing.

Water wisely. It's best to water in the morning, at the base of the plant (soil level) keeping the foliage dry. Water when the top 2 inches of the soil becomes dry to the touch. To test, stick your finger or a pencil about 2 inches down into the soil.

If the soil is dry, 2 inches down, it's time to water, if wet, wait until the soil is dry.

Fertilize faithfully. Plants need an extra boost of nutrition for proper growth in the form of a highquality fertilizer. Always follow manufacturer label directions for rates and intervals since too much fertilizer can be detrimental to plants.

Prepare for harvesting. Once your plants start yielding results, have a plan in place for either eating fresh, or preserving. Who knows, this may be the perfect time to try your hand at canning or freezing to maximize freshness and time. Bonnie's website has some fabulous recipes by variety, which can expand your culinary horizon!

All it takes is proper prep and planning and soon your garden will yield a delicious garden-to-table feast before the first frost hits the ground. For more information on fall gardening and varieties, visit www.bonnieplants.com

os días más cortos y las temperaturas más frías significan que los jardineros de todo el mundo pueden flexionar su pulgar verde por mucho más tiempo para exprimir hasta el último momento de la temporada de crecimiento.

Las temperaturas más frías hacen que sea un placer pasar tiempo al aire libre en el jardín. Pasará menos tiempo cuidando los cultivos debido a las condiciones favorables de clima frío. Las plantas crecerán rápidamente al principio y gradualmente más lentamente a medida que los días se vuelvan más cortos y fríos. Los insectos destructivos no serán tan numerosos, y las malezas germinan con menos frecuencia y crecen más lentamente que durante el clima más cálido. En comparación con los veranos calurosos y secos, la caída generalmente provoca un aumento de la precipitación, lo que reduce el consumo de agua que requiere mucho tiempo.

Jardinero veterano o novato, si no está listo para renunciar a su jardín, aquí le mostramos cómo crecer: Use trasplantes: para obtener los resultados más oportunos, compre trasplantes de calidad que ya hayan comenzado, de modo que se complete el proceso de germinación. Cosecharás seis semanas antes que las semillas, con tiempo de sobra

* Ubicación, ubicación, ubicación: planifique su jardín de otoño con suficiente luz solar (de seis a ocho horas por día) para crecer y prosperar, mientras permite un poco de sombra por la tarde. Pasa tiempo observando los puntos más soleados y planta en consecuencia. * Prepara el suelo perfecto. Al igual que los humanos, las plantas necesitan su propia marca de nutrición para prosperar. Trabajar en un poco de compost puede ser beneficioso, así como eliminar las plantas gastadas y las malezas. Refresque la tierra del jardín quitando el mantillo y luego reemplácelo. La paja es una excelente tapadera; se dispersa fácilmente y también es un hogar favorito para las arañas que controlan las plagas de forma natural. * Considere contenedores. La jardinería en contenedores es una forma rápida, fácil y rentable de cultivar sus propios alimentos en el hogar, además es ideal para espacios pequeños o habitantes urbanos que pueden no tener espacios verdes.

Elige tus plantas. Desde vistosas lechugas hasta abundantes cultivos de col, el otoño ofrece una gran variedad de opciones. Algunas buenas opciones de clima fresco son: * Acelgas de Georgia: estas verduras son apreciadas por su dulce sabor a col y son ricas en vitaminas y minerales. * Espinacas: un favorito de clima frío es de rápido crecimiento, produciendo muchas hojas en un corto período de tiempo. * Artwork Broccoli: esta variedad es única; en lugar de producir una cabeza grande de brócoli, produce brotes tiernos de color verde oscuro con cabezas del tamaño de un bocado y tallos largos y comestibles, perfectos para saltear y saltear.

Riega sabiamente. Es mejor regar por la mañana, en la base de la planta (nivel del suelo) manteniendo el follaje seco. Riegue cuando las 2 pulgadas superiores del suelo se sequen al tacto. Para realizar la prueba, introduzca el dedo o un lápiz aproximadamente 2 pulgadas hacia abajo en el suelo. Si el suelo está seco, 2 pulgadas hacia abajo, es hora de regar, si está mojado, espere hasta que el suelo esté seco.

Fertilizar fielmente. Las plantas necesitan un impulso extra de nutrición para un crecimiento adecuado en forma de un fertilizante de alta calidad. Siempre siga las instrucciones de la etiqueta del fabricante para las tasas e intervalos ya que demasiado fertilizante puede ser perjudicial para las plantas.

Prepárate para la cosecha. Una vez que sus plantas comiencen a dar resultados, tenga un plan para comer fresco o conservarlo. Quién sabe, este puede ser el momento perfecto para probar el enlatado o la congelación para maximizar la frescura y el tiempo. El sitio web de Bonnie tiene algunas recetas fabulosas por variedad, ¡que pueden expandir su horizonte culinario!

Todo lo que se necesita es una preparación y planificación adecuadas y pronto su jardín producirá un delicioso banquete de jardín a mesa antes de que la primera helada toque el suelo. Para obtener más información sobre la jardinería de otoño y las variedades, visite www.bonnieplants.com.

METRO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO FUNCIONANDO COMO UN RELOJ EN SU 50 ANIVERSARIO

iudad de México - Las instrucciones emitidas por los altavoces por el Sistema de Transporte Colectivo (STC), el Metro de la Ciudad de México, le dicen a los pasajeros que no se interpongan en el cierre de las puertas cuando alguien las abre de manera deliberada o accidental, incluso por unos segundos.

exico City - Instructions blasted over loudspeakers by the Collective Transport System (STC) - the Mexico City Metro tell passengers not to get in the way of the doors closing when someone deliberately or accidentally keeps them open, even for a few seconds.

Un solo segundo perdido altera el horario del tren porque el sistema de metro de la capital mexicana es como un reloj que no permite errores, y este miércoles habrá mantenido sus trenes funcionando a tiempo durante 50 años.

A single second lost alters the train's schedule because the Mexican capital's subway system is like a clock that allows no mistakes, and this Wednesday will have been keeping its trains running on time for 50 years.

"Cada tren tiene aproximadamente una hora fuera de las estaciones", le dijo a EFE el gerente de control central del metro, Mauricio Vargas, quien supervisa y vigila el funcionamiento de los trenes desde el punto de control central.

"Each train has approximately one hour outside the stations," EFE was told by the central control manager of the metro, Mauricio Vargas, who supervises and watches over the running of the trains from the central control point.

Como ejemplo, en un día normal, los 37 trenes rosados de la icónica Línea 1 realizan 499 viajes alrededor de su ruta entre las estaciones de metro Observatorio y Pantitlán, desde el oeste hasta el este de la ciudad.

As an example, on a normal day the 37 pink trains of the iconic Line 1 make 499 trips around its route between the Observatorio and Pantitlan subway stations, from the west to the east of the city.

"El simple hecho de que un tren permanezca demasiado tiempo en una estación nos obliga a reducir la velocidad de los trenes que vienen detrás de él", dijo Vargas.

Las puertas que alguien salta al tren en el último minuto, o una pequeña disputa entre los pasajeros, son dos de los incidentes más habituales que hacen que el tren se salga del horario, lo que se traduce en retrasos leves.

El trabajo de Vargas y su equipo en el centro de control en el centro histórico es precisamente supervisar cómo funciona el metro por medio de tecnología de observación remota que permite el control y la regulación del tráfico en las líneas del metro.

Las 12 líneas brindan un servicio esencial a esta enorme ciudad. Solo en 2018, el Metro de la Ciudad de México transportó 1.600 millones de pasajeros y recorrió 44 millones de kilómetros (27 millones de millas).

Este tren metropolitano, que viaja principalmente a través de túneles subterráneos y funciona con electricidad, cierra entre las 12:00 a medianoche y las 5:00 a.m. Funciona todos los días del año y, cuando descansa, de hecho, se somete a un mantenimiento mecánico indispensable y una limpieza a fondo.

"No olvidamos que a veces nos ha involucrado en algunos accidentes bastante graves, pero esos problemas son resueltos por personal especializado", dijo Vargas.

El gerente de control central dijo que los millones de pasajeros que el metro transporta diariamente y los 50 años de transporte que ha brindado a la Ciudad de México en comparación con sus defectos ocasionales es una razón perfecta para juzgar que su servicio es "excelente".

La empresa de tecnología SinTrafico dijo en un informe de 2018 que el Metro de la Ciudad de México estaba involucrado en 125 inconvenientes al mes relacionados con el servicio lento, el hacinamiento de pasajeros y defectos menores.

Pero para mantener el metro funcionando como un reloj, el mantenimiento en el área del taller es de particular importancia.

Según los registros del sistema, los trenes subterráneos entran en mantenimiento cada 12.500 kilómetros.

Enrique Baeza, del taller de Tasqueña, dice que los vagones son tan resistentes que en 2019 los trenes MP68, entre los primeros en aparecer en México, todavía están funcionando.

Y los 5 centavos, o 5 pesos, que cobra el Metro de la Ciudad de México por un boleto, lo convierten en uno de los viajes más baratos del mundo.

DISTRITO ESCOLAR UNIFICADO

AVISO PÚBLICO PERIODO DE COMENTARIOS PÚBLICOS Y AUDIENCIA INFORME DE EVALUACIÓN AMBIENTAL PRELIMINAR El Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fremont (el Distrito) ha preparado un Informe de Evaluación Ambiental Preliminar (PEA) de conformidad con la sección 17213.1, subdivisión (a)(4)(B) del Código de Educación. El Distrito ha presentado el Informe de PEA al Departamento de Control de Sustancias Tóxicas (DTSC) de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de California para su revisión y ha decidido ponerlo a disposición para revisión y comentarios públicos según la sección 17213.1, subdivisión (a)(6)[(A)] (Opción A) del Código de Educación.

Denominación del Proyecto: Propiedad Williamson 3350 Eggers Drive Fremont, CA 94538 Ubicación del Proyecto: El Sitio está compuesto por una parcela no desarrollada actualmente ubicada en Fremont, Condado de Alameda, California. La parcela mide aproximadamente 9.86 acres y es identificada con el Número de Parcela del Evaluador: 501-1600-7-4. El Distrito está interesado en adquirir la propiedad para el futuro desarrollo de las instalaciones de una nueva escuela primaria.

Descripción de la Evaluación: Terraphase Engineering, Inc. preparó el Informe de PEA para presentación al DTSC. Dicho Informe de PEA fue preparado bajo la supervisión del DTSC de conformidad con las directrices del DTSC, según se detallan en el Manual de Orientación de PEA. Una inspección del sitio llevada a cabo antes de preparar el informe de PEA identificó la posible presencia de problemas ambientales. Con el fin de evaluar estos posibles problemas en el suelo, se recolectaron un total de 111 muestras de suelo en el Sitio y se presentaron para análisis en un laboratorio analítico certificado de California. Se analizaron los resultados analíticos de las muestras de suelo mediante el uso de los Niveles Regionales de Análisis para la Región IX de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de los Estados Unidos para el escenario de exposición residencial. También se modificaron estos criterios de análisis en sus partes correspondientes para reflejar las Notas 3 y 4 de la Oficina de Riesgo Humano y Ecológico (HERO) del DTSC. Con base en los resultados de la investigación de PEA, no se han detectado químicos de posible preocupación en el suelo del Sitio que excedan los valores genéricos de análisis basados en riesgos para uso de suelo residencial y no se requieren más estudios del Sitio.

"The mere fact that a train stays too long in a station forces us to slow down the trains coming behind it," Vargas said.

Doors kept from closing by someone jumping on the train at the last minute, or a minor scuffle between passengers, are two of the most usual incidents that throw the train off schedule, adding up to slight delays.

The work of Vargas and his team at the control center in the historic downtown area is precisely to supervise how the subway is working by means of remote observation technology that permits control and regulation of traffic on the subway lines.

The 12 lines provide an essential service to this massive city. In 2018 alone, the Mexico City Metro transported 1.6 billion passengers and traveled 44 million kilometers (27 million miles).

This metropolitan train - which mainly travels through underground tunnels and runs on electricity - closes down between 12:00 midnight and 5:00 am. It works every day of the year and when it rests, it is in fact undergoing indispensable mechanical maintenance and a thorough cleaning.

"We don't forget that at times it has involved us in some pretty bad accidents, but those problems are resolved by specialized personnel," Vargas said.

El PEA y los documentos de soporte están disponibles para revisión en: Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fremont 4210 Technology Drive Fremont, California 94538 Horario: lun - vie, 8:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

The central control manager said that the millions of passengers the subway transports daily and the 50 years of transportation it has provided Mexico City compared with its occasional flaws is a perfect reason to judge its service "excellent."

Biblioteca del Condado de Alameda - Biblioteca Principal de Fremont 2400 Stevenson Blvd Fremont, CA 94538 Contacto Área de Recursos Horario: lun y mar 1-9, miér 12-6, jue y vie 11-6, sáb 10-5, dom 1-5

The tech firm SinTrafico said in a 2018 report that the Mexico City Metro was involved in 125 inconveniences a month related to slow service, passenger overcrowding and minor defects.

Periodo de Comentarios Públicos: Se ofrecerá un periodo de comentarios públicos sobre el Informe de PEA del 6 de septiembre de 2019 al 7 de octubre de 2019. Se aceptarán comentarios escritos sobre el Informe de PEA del 6 de septiembre de 2019 al 7 de octubre de 2019. Los comentarios se deberán dirigir a John Chwastyk, Director de Instalaciones, Distrito Escolar Unificado de Fremont, 4210 Technology Drive, Fremont, California 94538.

But to keep the subway running like clockwork, maintenance in the workshop area is of particular importance.

Audiencia Pública: Se celebrará una audiencia pública para discutir el Informe de PEA el 11 de septiembre de 2019 alrededor de las 6:30 p.m. o tan pronto como sea posible a partir de entonces, en la Sala de la Junta Escolar del Distrito en 4210 Technology Drive, Fremont, California 94538. Se aceptarán comentarios sobre el Informe de PEA durante la audiencia pública.

According to records of the system, the subway trains go into maintenance every 12,500 kilometers.

Enrique Baeza of the Tasqueña workshop says the wagons are so resistant that in 2019 the MP68 trains, among the first to appear in Mexico, are still running.

And the 5 cents, or 5 pesos, that the Mexico City Metro charges for a ticket, makes it one of the cheapest rides in the world.

IAMI – Ice-cream maker Ben & Jerry's says everyone deserves the sweet taste of justice, and wants its new flavor to call attention to what the company founders see as "structural racism" in the criminal legal system.

The Vermont-based company announced the "Justice ReMix'd" flavor on Tuesday September 3, along with plans to give a portion of the sale proceeds to support the Advancement Project national office. It's a multi-racial civil rights group that works with local grassroots organizers on racial-justice issues.

Judith Browne Dianis, executive director of the Advancement Project National Office, said the partnership represents thinking "outside the box" about what justice could be – and driving the conversation with a treat.

"And its got cinnamon and chocolate and vanilla ice cream," she said, "and so it really is a totally re-imagining of the kind of sweet treats that people want, bringing them together and blending them."

Youth members at the Power U Center for Social Change will attend tonight's Miami-Dade School Board meeting, where they'll call for restorative-justice practices in schools to help curb what's known as the "school-to-prison pipeline." They'll also share free samples of the ice cream.

According to a report from the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida, although 20% of Miami-Dade students are black,

black students account for more than half of all arrests within the district. Dianis said young Floridians are calling for change.

"The young people realize that the schoolto-prison pipeline is cutting off their opportunities," she said, "and that is unfair, that black and brown students are being criminalized in the school system."

In response to critics of Miami-Dade School District plans to hire more school resource officers over its need for counselors, Superintendent Alberto Carvalho said, "People need to understand – it is not in the hands of this board. It is a legal requirement in the state of Florida, in the aftermath of Marjory Stoneman Douglas." Seventeen people were killed in a Feb. 14, 2018, mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland.

DEEPFAKES 2.0: THE SEQUEL IS EVEN SCARIER

L

Shelly Palmer

person? Use AI to generate the person’s name and backstory (maybe seed the system with an obituary so it could find their living relatives on social media, alongside a cache of “real” pictures)?

ate last year, I wrote about deepfakes and how for about 200,000 years, we have relied on our eyes and ears to separate truth from lies and fact from fiction. Even if we ignore the rise of fake news, technology is on the verge of making it impossible to know if what we are seeing and hearing is real or fake.

Create an email address, Facebook account, and Twitter profile. Use FaceApp to age the photo up 30 years, 60 years. Photoshop the character’s likeness into his or her (real) family photos. Do the same in other photos.

It’s been less than a year since I wrote that article, and the technology has advanced in ways that make last year’s fakes look primitive.

Here’s a roundup of the advancements and uses in the past year.

Use AI-assisted software to generate tweets and Facebook posts. Use procedural generation to make the character’s posts seem real, and not scheduled. Have the character retweet things. Reply to things. Like things.

Interact with the world. It’s like the “Yahoo Boys” military scam, but automated and amplified to the nth degree, powered by technology and by machine learning.

Already Illegal: DeepNudes Revenge porn has been outlawed in many jurisdictions around the globe. In July, Virginia became one of the first states to outlaw the sharing of computer-generated pornography aka deepfakes. It did so by amending an existing law which criminalizes revenge porn, making clear that the category now includes “falsely-created” material.

Scary: DNC Deepfake The Democratic Party deepfaked its own chairman to highlight 2020 concerns. In early August at DEF CON – one of the world’s biggest conventions for hackers – attendees were told DNC Chair Tom Perez couldn’t make it for the DNC’s presentation. In lieu of that, he “Skyped in” and chatted. Except he didn’t. Do you know what Perez’s voice sounds like? Neither did those in attendance.

Bob Lord, the DNC’s chief security officer, led the exercise (with the help of experts in the field of AI) as a way to demonstrate the art-of-thepossible. This is what’s coming leading up to the 2020 election. The video speaks for itself.

Fun: “Fixing” The Lion King It’s important to remember that not all deepfakes are malicious. After Disney purists didn’t like the (stunning) computer graphics in this summer’s release of The Lion King, they “fixed” the trailer by melding the original (animated) version’s character faces onto the new version’s animals.

The resulting footage is so well done that it takes a second to realize what you’re looking at.

Somewhere In Between: FaceApp In case you’ve been living under a rock this summer, or simply took a vacation from the Internet, FaceApp is an app on Android and iOS that uses AI to “generate highly realistic transformations of faces in photographs.”

Basically, FaceApp puts the power of deepfakes into your hand, making it a snap to make a person in a photo look older, look younger, or change genders.

Aside from the mild controversy – Fast Company discovered that every photo uploaded to the app was sent to FaceApp’s cloud servers, (which you agreed to when you accepted the app’s terms and conditions, but clearly did not read) – the tech here is remarkable. FaceApp has been offering its photo effects since early 2017, but the results have gotten much better in the years since it launched.

While FaceApp has limited features, it’s one of the easiest and most popular deepfake creators available to the masses. Its speed and impressive results make it fun … and also dangerous.

What Does This All Mean?

The technology behind deepfakes was already

Photo Credit:YouTube/UC Berkeley easy to find and use last fall, but it’s even more so today. Imagine where it’ll be next summer when the 2020 election is four months away.

Did Elizabeth Warren really say that? Was that footage of Bernie Sanders in that attack ad real, or was it a deepfake? As political advertisements already twist candidates’ words and manipulate the truth for the perfect soundbite, can you believe anything you hear when it can all be manufactured on any laptop you can find at Best Buy? It Gets Worse While news cycle after news cycle covered

allegations of possible social media manipulation prior to the 2016 election, is anyone ready for what comes next? Let’s quickly imagine how an AI-assisted system will exacerbate the problem.

Go to ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com. See that face? That lifelike photo? That’s not a real person. The site “showcases fully automated human image synthesis by endlessly generating images that look like facial portraits of human faces.”

Fun! Right? Only until you think about the possible ramifications. How much work would it take to build an entire history and lifetime for this

Build a generative adversarial network (GAN) to create retinal scans and fingerprints (the same way fake faces are generated on thispersondoesnotexist.com). Snag some social security numbers off the dark web, and … Poof! We’ve created a virtual person that is practically indistinguishable from a real person.

It would take quite a bit of research to figure out that this fabrication was not a living, breathing person.

Use headless chrome to create a few thousand accounts per day (I’m not going to tell you how to mask your network connection, but you’d easily do that).

Bias the AI “red” or “blue.” Or, if you choose, “anarchist” or “union organizer,” or make your created person appear sympathetic to whatever cause serves your purpose.

Train the AI to follow “real” accounts (or fake ones that you’ve created). The AI-generated tweets and retweets or Facebook posts and shares are going to look (and be) real. They just won’t be from humans.

Activate your influencer network of a half-million accounts. And wait for November 3, 2020 and see how you did.

You may not like this game, but it is not going to be played by you or me. It’s going to be played by nation-states with unlimited resources.

Buckle your seat belt. This is going to be a rough ride.

Año fiscal 2018 de la Medida A 2000

VTA ofrece soluciones de transporte que son esenciales para la vitalidad, prosperidad y calidad de vida de todos los que residen, trabajan, estudian o se divierten en el Condado de Santa Clara.

En noviembre de 2000, los votantes del Condado de Santa Clara aprobaron la Medida A, que es un impuesto de medio centavo a las ventas por 30 años, dedicado a proyectos y operaciones específicas de mejora estructurales para el transporte público. La recaudación de impuestos comenzó a mediados de 2006, convirtiendo así el año fiscal (FY) 2018, en el 12avo año del programa de 30 años.

Informe del Comité de vigilancia ciudadana de la Medida A 2000

CY

CMY

Los votantes del condado de Santa Clara confiaron al Comité de vigilancia ciudadana (CWC, por sus siglas en inglés), compuesto por varios miembros de la comunidad, la supervisión de los gastos de la Medida A para garantizar que el dinero de los impuestos sobre las ventas se gaste según lo previsto en la papeleta de sufragio.

Después de una completa y cuidadosa consideración: Es la conclusión del CWC que, para el período del año fiscal 2018, el monto de impuestos recaudados en virtud de la Medida A 2000, fueron gastados de acuerdo a los propósitos de la medida.
