SEPTEMBER 16-22, 2016

CONCERNS ABOUT THIS 2016 ELECTION Hilbert Morales EL OBSERVADOR I have several deep seated concerns about this 2016 election which happens on November 8, 2016.

On a national scale, enough Democratic Senators (six more) and Representatives (about 80 more) need to be elected to provide the next U.S. President with a 'collaborative U.S. Congress'.

It seems likely that a Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate may be possible if the Democratic voters GOTV (get out to vote). In California, the choice between Kamala Harris and Loretta Sanchez offers the registered voter the opportunity to elect the first Latina to represent CA in the Senate. I have already presented the case that Loretta Sanchez, who has been a member of Congress for 20 years and is an experienced legislator would be a good choice who would be immediately effective.

Kamala Harris, current CA

Attorney General, has no legislative record/experience.

However Kamala has been an effective prosecutor who is highly suited for appointment to the Department of Justice or the Federal Attorney General position. If the Latino voter GOTV, and votes for Loretta Sanchez, then, as the first Latina U.S. Senator, she will be in a position to immediately act on complex issues such as immigration reform, the domestic economy, IRS tax code reform, and initiate funding for infrastructural projects, etc. Keep in mind that the U.S. Senate endorses nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court; at least three Supreme Court Justice vacancies may occur during the next four years. One is pending, but existing Republican leadership is refusing to initiate the required 'up or down' vote.

It is unlikely that the U.S. House of Representatives will end up with a democratic majority resulting in the 'House' having Democratic leadership. However, voters need to re-elect House members who indicate they

will do everything possible to encourage and enable needed legislation. A logjam of legislation has accumulated since President Obama's installation.

This nation's racism became very obvious when a small group of Republican leaders met on the very same day that Obama was officially installed to plan to limit his administration to one term. “We, the People” who are persons of color already exceed the “Whites”. We must elect public officials who will set aside their racism, prejudices, and biases when crafting legislation which will benefit the entire nation's people, its economy, and its current position as the world's super-power.

Regarding the election of the next President: It is up to Hillary Clinton to win this presidential election. As the first woman in the most powerful public policy seat in the world, I project she will stabilize the use of diplomacy first, and military action only when all else fails. Despite Hillary's 25 years of public service, Trump supporters

have only come up with two issues: 1) Emails and 2) The Benghazi Incident.

All investigations by Congress and others did not establish any malfeasance.

However, recently Hillary mis-spoke when she used the 'basket of deplorables' comment which gave Trump supporters a 'talking point'.

The second 'talking point' is her health. The fact that she was diagnosed as having pneumonia on a Friday two days prior to that 9-11 event where she left to go to her daughter's apartment for relief made her health a second talking point for her adversaries. Hillary needs to be in the best of health when she debates Donald Trump face to face. Hillary Clinton is highly qualified to become the next U.S. President; she has the experience, temperament, and capacity to do as well as has President Obama.

It is not enough to elect Hillary Clinton as the next President: The U.S. Senate needs to be controlled by the Democrats in order to approve the next several appointments to the U.S. Supreme Court which

is currently dominated by conservatives who approved that Citizens United ruling which gave corporations their 'Dark Money' influence and power. The next several U.S. Supreme Court appointees must be liberals and that 'Citizens United' ruling must be reversed ASAP. Also, with Democratic Senate majority (which takes the election of six Democratic Senators), there is a good possibility that some very important federal legislation can be crafted so as to break up the current logjam created since 2008 by ultraconservative Republican Tea Party obstructionists. In this regard, it is important that the California Latino voter seriously consider voting for Loretta Sanchez, who has 20 years of legislative experience, so she becomes the first Latina Senator.

For the best election outcomes, the Latino voter has the opportunity this 2016 Election to become a 'stakeholder' who can hold any and all elected officials accountable and responsible.

So plan to vote on Tuesday, November 8th.

Latina Power Por José López Zamorano Para La Red Hispana Con el trasfondo de los festejos del tradicional Mes de la Herencia Hispana, un nuevo estudio debería no sólo conmover a nuestra comunidad sino arrojar sendas interrogantes sobre la comunidad que somos y el futuro que deseamos para nuestras hijas y para las mujeres latinas en general.

El estudio Latinas: Cambios socioeconómicos entre las mujeres latinas en Estados Unidos desde 1990 hasta 2014, del Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos, Caribeños y Latinos, y CNN en Español, nos dice que las latinas se han inscrito para votar y que votaron en mayor proporción que los hombres latinos en cada elección presidencial entre 1992 y 2012.

Una de las explicaciones más sencillas

sobre el creciente empoderamiento político de las latinas es que las mujeres de este segmento alcanzan niveles educativos más altos que los hombres, lo cual se demuestra con el creciente porcentaje de mujeres graduadas de la universidad.

En el plano político los datos son contundentes: El porcentaje de latinas que se inscribió para votar superó a la de hombres latinos en cada elección presidencial realizada desde 1992 hasta 2012.

Y a raíz de los niveles más altos de inscripción electoral, las latinas también votaron en tasas superiores: entre el 49% y el 52% de las votantes elegibles emitió su voto, en comparación con un porcentaje de entre el 43% y el 46% del electorado de hombres latinos.

En el plano educativo las latinas también rebasaron a los varones.

En 1990, un 10% de latinos había obtenido una licenciatura o un título superior. Para el 2014 esa cifra subió al 13,4%. Pero el incremento de las latinas universitarias fue aún mayor: 16% se graduaron de la universidad.

Sin duda esas estadísticas por si solas deben ser motivo de orgullo. Pero el estudio arroja un dato alarmante: A pesar de su mayor escolaridad, las latinas universitarias que eran jefas de familia tenían menores ingresos y más probabilidades de ser pobres que sus contrapartes hombres.

siguen siendo bajos si se compara con otros grupos raciales o étnicos de Estados Unidos.

“Hasta que no veamos un marcado aumento en las tasas de graduación universitaria de ambos sexos, la pobreza continuará jugando un papel central en la experiencia latina", sostuvo Laird W. Bergad, autor del informe y director del CLACLS.

Es un dato de relevancia crucial si tomamos en cuenta que en este momento casi la mitad de hogares latinos son encabezados por mujeres.

Sin duda las conmemoraciones anuales del Mes de la Herencia Hispana son una excelente oportunidad para exaltar los avances de nuestra comunidad, especialmente los económicos y educativos, pero también para reflexionar sobre los retos pendientes, como buscar colectivamente los cambios legales para lograr una paga equitativa y justa en el mercado laboral.

Adicionalmente, los niveles de escolaridad de los latinos y latinas

EDUCATION

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com

A+ IDEAS FOR SUPPORTING CLASSROOM LEARNING volunteering. Be proactive about asking where your child excels and what areas they may need additional help.

Facilitate homework: Encourage good study habits by creating a comfortable homework space with adequate supplies and few distractions. Be an active partner in your child's homework and assist when needed.

Brainstorm project ideas, answer questions and quiz kids before tests.

BPT Proud parents across the country are watching their children head back to the classroom for another exciting school year.

The knowledge they gain in class will help set them on a path to success. However, learning shouldn't stop when the school bell rings at the end of the day.

"Education should be a driving factor of family life," says Michelle Cote, founder of Bricks 4 Kidz, an award-winning summer camp and after-school program. "Parents hold the key to a child's success by supporting classroom learning and extending educational efforts to the home and beyond."

Cote offers simple ideas for parents to help support school lessons and instill a lifelong love of learning in their children.

Know the teacher: Teachers spend as much time in a week with your kids as you do.

Build a relationship with them by sending check-in emails, attending conferences and

Practice school lessons: With a fun, nopressure approach, go over what your children learn in school. Have a conversation each day about what they learned, liked and loathed. Then go over important lessons to help your child better understand the material.

SEPTEMBER 16-22, 2016

Read together: Reading together is a great way to bond and show joy for the written word. Read the same books your child is assigned in school so you can foster a good discussion about characters and storylines.

When you both finish the book, rent the film version and plan a movie night.

Fuel brain power: There are two ways to support learning that have nothing to do with lessons. The first is to make sure kids are always fueled with a variety of healthy foods. The next is to ensure they are getting a good night's sleep. Full, well-rested kids are always ready to learn.

Encourage active learning: Reading, writing and solving math problems are passive learning activities. At home, encourage active learning where your child builds models, creates art projects and can ask questions and give his opinion.

A teacher will shape and support your child's knowledge. It's up to you to grow their thirst for learning and help them better understand important topics. These simple tips make it easy for education to become a strong thread in the fabric of life.

KIDS' ADVOCATES PUSH GOVERNOR TO SIGN SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY BILL

Connect lessons to life: One of the best ways to help kids understand classroom lessons is to connect the material to everyday experiences.

Practice fractions while cooking. Chat about biology while gardening. Head to the beach to talk about marine habitats and why the tide changes.

Choose enriching activities: Select afterschool activities that emphasize cognitive development while building self-esteem in a fun environment.

Positive attitude: Kids will mirror your attitude toward school, homework and teachers. Stay positive and model resilience during difficult times. Show kids how you're working to improve your own education, whether that be a career certification or a cooking class.

Children's advocates are urging Gov. Jerry Brown to sign a bill they say would improve school accountability and close income-based achievement gaps in California. (shironosov/iStockphoto)

Suzanne Potter California News Service OAKLAND, Calif. - This week, more than 300 children's advocacy groups signed a public letter urging Governor Jerry Brown to sign Assembly Bill 2548. The bill directs the state to adopt what the groups believe is a better grading system for schools, that focuses on closing the achievement gap between higher- and lower-income students.

Two years ago, the state scrapped the Academic Performance Index system, and the federal "No Child Left Behind" program was replaced by "Every Student Succeeds."

Brad Strong, senior director at the nonprofit group, Children Now, said the dual system made it hard for parents to get a clear picture of a school's progress, and the bill is a chance to change that.

"So, it was really confusing to the public, 'Well, why are they failing under the federal system and seem to be doing OK under the state system?' So what we're really trying to do is ensure that we don't revisit the days where we had two separate accountability systems, that you have one aligned, state, federal and local," he said.

The new bill would mandate that the state program meet federal requirements.

Meanwhile, the State Board of Education is already moving ahead, adopting an accountability plan on Thursday that critics say is too complex.

Strong also believes the system adopted on Thursday moves in the wrong direction.

"They were still focused on English language, arts and math, they weren't including science," he explained. "They weren't at inclusion of suspensions and expulsions, and chronic absence and school climate. So, there were other measures that also we felt were important."

The governor has a little less than a month to determine the fate of AB 2548. He could sign the bill, veto it, or let it become law without a signature. The State Board of Education is expected to approve a final version of the accountability plan by the 2017-2018 school year.

FRENESÍ DE FÚTBOL AMERICANO: Consejos para evitar una estafa de boletos

Better Business Bureau Para amantes de fútbol americano que han estado esperando para la temporada 2016-17 desde el último Súper Bowl, ¡la espera ha terminado! Los aficionados en el área de la bahía tienen suerte – tanto los 49ers de San Francisco y los Raiders de Oakland están cerca. La posibilidad de ver un partido de futbol americano en vivo es emocionante, pero comprar boletas a veces puede ser riesgoso.

Aquellos que deseen atender a un juego pueden comprar boletas en línea a través de vendedores oficiales, otros sitios de compra de boletos, o de individuos en las redes sociales o sitios de clasificados en línea. Cualquiera ruta de compra de entradas que usted elige, es importante ser consciente de los riesgos asociados – y saber cómo protegerse contra ellos.

En 2015, Better Business Bureau (BBB), a nivel nacional, recibió más de 2.500 quejas sobre los corredores de entrada y los negocios de venta de billetes. La mayoría de estas quejas fueron sobre dificultades adquirir las devoluciones, mal servicio al cliente, y la publicidad engañosa.

Ir a un partido de fútbol americano profesional puede costar mucho dinero y tiempo, entonces es especialmente importante que usted está comprando un boleto válido y protegerse contra el fraude.

BBB ofrece los siguientes cinco consejos sobre la compra de entradas de fútbol americano:

1. Del proveedor oficial: La mejor manera de comprar boletos es directamente de la fuente oficial. Muchas entradas

BUSINESS

para los próximos juegos todavía están disponibles a través de la página web oficial de la NFL (nfl.com/tickets) y los sitios oficiales de los distintos equipos.

Desafortunadamente, comprar boletos puede ser más arriesgada cuando los juegos están agotadas.

2. De otros sitios web: Asegúrese de entender la diferencia entre un distribuidor legítimo y acreditado, un vendedor no regulada y sin licencia, y un estafador cuyos boletos son simplemente fraudulenta. Busque el vendedor a bbb. org para ver su Reseña de Negocio de BBB, que incluye Comentarios de Clientes. Comprueba si son un miembro de la Asociación Nacional de Corredores de Entradas (natb.org). Miembros de esta organización ofrecen una garantía de 200% para las entradas que no llegan a tiempo para un juego o un concierto.

Sólo compre de los vendedores que usted conoce y confía; busque iconos fiduciarios y políticas de privacidad para asegurar que su información financiera está protegida.

3. Antes de hacer una compra: Conoce la política de devoluciones; debería tener información clara sobre los términos de la transacción. BBB recomienda que usted siempre utilice una tarjeta de crédito, ya que viene con protección adicional. Echa un vistazo a los asientos antes de comprarlos: siempre pida sección, fila y número de asiento para evitas asientos que tienen una vista obstruida o que no existen.

4. Comprar boletos en persona: Si usted va a comprar boletos de un individuo

y va a reunir en persona para completar la transacción, tenga cuidado. Reunirse en un lugar público y pida al menos dos formas de contacto. No dude en hacer preguntas para asegurarse de que obtiene todas las respuestas que necesita para sentirse cómodo con su compra. Comprueba si el billete es verdadero antes de dar ningún dinero. Busque fechas correctas, ortografía y gramática profesional y auténticas imágenes y logotipos, así como códigos de barras, para asegurar que no es fraudulenta. Asegúrese de que todos los componentes que usted pago para están incluidos, como un pase de estacionamiento.

5. Correos electrónicos y anuncios en línea: No haga clic a través de correos electrónicos no solicitados o anuncios en línea; un truco de estafa común es la creación de una dirección web que es similar a la dirección de una empresa conocida. Cuando usted busque boletos en línea, a menudo van a aparecer anuncios para billetes baratos. Utilice el sentido común, algunos de estos anuncios van a ser estafas, especialmente si los precios son demasiados bajos. Si recibe un mensaje no solicitado alegando que has ganado boletos, no lo crea. Recuerde, si no participó en un concurso, usted no lo ganó.

HOW TO HELP YOUR TEEN EAT MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES

“Many teens don’t realize that their eating habits are affecting the way they look and feel today,” said Elaine Auld, chief executive officer of the Society for Public Health Education (SOPHE).

“Point out the effects of the food selections they control and the benefits of healthy eating—better skin and hair, more energy, improved sleep, and weight management.” Auld offered a few more tips: Talk with your teen. Discuss how food selections affect how they look and feel today. Find out the barriers to eating a more healthy diet with fruits and vegetables. What fruits and vegetables are your teens’ favorites? Could you help them try some new ones?

Getting teens to eat right now can help them be healthier for the rest of their lives

NAPS Although childhood obesity rates have leveled off, obesity rates for teens have doubled in recent years—but you can protect them. Today, one in every five teens ages 12 to 19 is obese. Obesity in the early stages of life is more likely to follow into adulthood. But it also has an immediate impact. Obese teens may miss out on fun activities, face more health issues, suffer from a lack of confidence

and self-esteem, and may even miss out on opportunities to get a job.

What’s a parent to do? Helping your teen eat more fruits and vegetables on a regular basis can improve health and build healthy habits for life. “Fruits and Veggies —More Matters®” month in September—or anytime of year—is a great time to show your teen how to eat healthy by eating more fruits and vegetables.

Get a baseline. Have your teens write down what they have eaten for several days using the notepad on their phones.

Then, review the list and have your teens identify one or two small steps for improvement.

Share online tools. Your teens can use free online tools that show the nutritional value of foods before they order. Talk with your teens about their daily schedules and meal plans. Discuss how your teen could eat a healthier diet with more fruits and vegetables. At each meal, about half of your plate should be fruits and vegetables.

Make it easy. Check how many fruits and vegetables you have readily on hand and if you need to change your shopping habits. Find a farmer’s market nearby.

Keep fresh fruit out in a bowl on your table. Cut up vegetables and keep them in your fridge in ready-to-eat portions.

Mix it in. Add fresh, frozen or canned vegetables to salads, side dishes, pasta sauces, omelets, pizzas or other dishes.

If using canned vegetables, select those labeled “reduced sodium,” “low sodium” or “no salt added.”

Involve your teen in meal planning and grocery shopping. Research healthy recipes online together. Ask your teen to help you plan family meals for a week.

Bring your teen with you to the grocery store. Ask your teen to select fruit and produce and be open to new and different choices.

Invite your teen to help you in the kitchen.

Include your teens in meal preparations.

Ask them to cut vegetables or fruits for a meal or for quick “grab and go” packets for the entire family. Try to take a favorite family recipe and make it healthier together. Teens love to experiment.

Point out healthier options when eating out. Talk about the healthier options on restaurant menus and choose one for yourself.

SEPTEMBER 16-22, 2016 Set a good example. Be a role model in what you choose to eat. Try to frame your family culture around healthy eating.

Offer fruit and vegetable options with every meal.

What Communities Are Doing to Promote Healthy Eating for Teens Just as people plan healthy nutrition into their routines, so do communities.

SOPHE is part of a national program to prevent chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

SOPHE is working alongside four organizations with a network in 100 communities across 37 states. The other partners include the American Heart Association (AHA), the American Planning Association (APA), the Directors of Health Promotion and Education (DHPE) and the National WIC Association (NWICA).

Middle schoolers involved with Oregon Kids Move with Heart are doing brain boosts in health classes, thanks to a toolkit provided by the AHA. At Douglas MacArthur High School in San Antonio, students have started a new garden and are composting fruit and vegetable trimmings from the cafeteria. Their efforts are aided by a new toolkit on creating sustainable school gardens.

In Columbus, Indiana, community organizers with the APA are working to make streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. In Indianapolis, community leaders are trying to make the community more walkable for everyone by instituting a comprehensive plan.

Many teens and their families do not have access to healthy food. In rural Galax, Virginia, the H.A.N.D.S. Healthy Corner Store initiative with NWICA has increased availability of fresh produce and healthy snack options in rural convenience stores, worked with Farmer’s Market Managers to increase public awareness of fresh, locally grown produce, and done cooking demonstrations.

Communities can take more steps to show healthy eating for teens and their families. “Talking with your teen about eating fruits and vegetables is important,” said Auld. “We want to make healthy living easier. Helping teens establish good habits now sets them on a path toward success and health later in life.”

WHAT MILLENNIALS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT HEALTHFUL EATING

first generation to be affected by the childhood obesity epidemic. According to the experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years.

In addition, millennials’ tendency to go for convenience foods and to follow the latest food trends can exacerbate that.

Then, there’s what they drink. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reports that over a third of college students consume at least one can or bottle of soda per day, while a Gallup poll found 20-somethings more likely to drink alcohol regularly than do older generations.

Photo Courtesy:The millennial generation is health conscious but many are not getting all the 2. Meeting nutritional needs: Surveys show nutrients they need. millennials can be at risk for a number of

NAPS The number of millennials in America—over 83 million—surpassed that of baby boomers for the first time last year. If you or someone you care about is a millennial—born in the 1980s or ’90s—here’s some food for thought.

Millennials are interested in living a healthy lifestyle and define healthy as a daily commitment to eating right, and rather than rely on supplements, they value a natural foods approach to nutrition.

Unlike boomers and Gen Xers, millennials say they want to lose weight not for the sake of appearancebutforgeneralhealthandwell-being.

Millennials tend to like exotic flavors and be more adventurous in the kinds of food they’ll eat, compared to previous generations. They generally enjoy good health except for three issues.

THE PROBLEMS

1. The obesity issue: Millennials are the

vitamin and mineral deficiencies—and that could affect their health for the rest of their lives. In particular, many are not getting enough fiber, vitamins A, E and K, magnesium, iodine and potassium. Often, millennials are at risk for deficiency in vitamin B6, vitamin B12 and vitamin C, too.

In addition, young women may have difficulty meeting the dietary requirements for calcium, vitamin D and iron. Moreover, some 10 percent of young women have low body iron.

HOME/COMMUNITY

7

3. Founding families: Many millennials are reaching an age when they’re thinking about starting families. It’s important for all women in their childbearing years to eat a healthy diet, with particular care to consuming enough folate and iron. Yet nearly a quarter of women have a folate status lower than necessary to prevent birth defects.

Other nutrients of particular importance during pregnancy include zinc, iodine, choline, DHA, and vitamins D, B6 and B12.

AN ANSWER Fortunately, a number of these young people have discovered a convenient, good-tasting and easy way to get many of the nutrients they need: by eating eggs. Eggs are an all-natural source of high- quality protein and a number of other nutrients, all for only about 70 calories an egg.

All eggs are not created equal, however, and the diets of the hens that lay them play a significant part.

For example, eggs offer five times the vitamin D and 25 percent less saturated fat than ordinary eggs. They’re also packed with other important nutrients including three times more vitamin B12, more than twice the omega-3s, 10 times more vitamin E and 38 percent more lutein than regular eggs.

4-H FOMENTA LIDERAZGO JUVENIL CON UN PROGRAMA BILINGÜE Norma De la Vega Universidad de California Melina Granados de 6 años de edad, aprendió, durante un curso de verano que hablar en público puede ser intimidante pero también muy emocionante.

“Hola mi nombre es Melina Granados y soy la vicepresidente de 4-H y en este club he aprendido cómo ser un líder y cómo plantar vegetales.”

La niña Melina es parte del grupo Las Águilas del Lado Este, el primer club bilingüe 4-H en Riverside, en donde 57 niños y adolescentes se divirtieron y aprendieron sobre horticultura, nutrición, danza, y oratoria, actividades que se desarrollaron en inglés y español.

El Programa de Desarrollo Juvenil 4-H de Extensión Cooperativa de la Universidad de California, cuyo propósito es enseñar, a niños y adolescentes entre 5 y 19 años, habilidades para tener éxito en la vida, está implementando cambios para servir

mejor a los diferentes grupos étnicos. Según estadísticas oficiales, el 53 por ciento de los estudiantes en las escuelas públicas de California son latinos, y para 4-H es crucial atender los intereses y necesidades de la nueva mayoría.

“Realmente estamos mejorando nuestros esfuerzos para conseguir que la comunidad latina participe en 4-H. Esto es una actividad de familia que creo es muy positiva”, indica Glenda Humiston, vicepresidenta de la División de Agricultura y Recursos Naturales de la UC”. Tengo que decirlo, yo soy la primera persona en mi familia en ir a la universidad y la única razón por la que salí de nuestra granja pequeña fue debido a que 4-H me dio la oportunidad de ver qué más hay en el mundo, aprendí habilidades que me permitieron obtener buenas calificaciones en la escuela y pensar en ir a la universidad.”

4-H ayuda a los niños a obtener un futuro brillante y a los adultos les brinda la oportunidad de colaborar

con su comunidad dado que está es una organización no lucrativa que requiere del apoyo de los voluntarios para poder ampliar sus beneficios a todas las comunidades.

“Nosotros queremos animar a las familias latinas a trabajar con nosotros para crear más clubs 4-H para que más niños participen. Muchos de los programas son sobre salud, nutrición, pero también nos enfocamos en ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería y matemáticas (STEM por sus siglas en inglés),” indica Humiston.

En Riverside, el programa de verano de Las Águilas del Lado Este se desarrolló en colaboración con el centro comunitario Community Settlement Association (CSA).

Ahí los niños eligieron el nombre de su club, sembraron vegetales, diseñaron pancartas y aprendieron a escribir un discurso y presentarlo al público. “Algunas de las cosas que les enseñamos aquí en 4-H es como convertirse en líderes, como apropiarse de sus propias decisiones y como obtener esos pasos para obtener una carrera en el futuro”, señala Yolva Gil del representante del programa de clubes 4-H en Riverside.

El programa de verano fue completamente gratuito y para poder desarrollar las actividades del club 4-H los líderes voluntarios buscaron donativos de la comunidad para que los niños pudieran

Darling Contreras, mamá de cuatro adolescentes, encontró en 4-H el programa de desarrollo juvenil que anhelaba para sus hijos y que no hubiera podido solventar.

“Tengo cuatro niños que son Noé, Moisés, Christopher y Samuel de 9,8, y dos de 7 años.

A ellos les encantó el club y estaban muy emocionados en cultivar alimentos con otros niños de su edad y mirar el resultado de su trabajo. Yo había intentado antes inscribir a mis hijos en algún programa de verano pero costaba 100 dólares por semana. ¡Aquí es gratis y es un milagro tener algo como esto en la comunidad!”.

Victor Granados, el papá de Melina dijo que tenía dos niños en ese programa y estaba muy contento de escuchar el breve discurso de su hija. “Una parte del speech dice que les ayudan a ser líderes. Yo si creo porque les dan toda las herramientas van a ser de gran utilidad en el futuro y la prueba es tangible aquí lo estamos viendo con ellos.”

COUNTY TO CELEBRATE NATIONAL WELCOMING WEEK SEPTEMBER 16-25

SANTA CLARA COUNTY, Calif. This month, under the umbrella of Welcoming America, numerous municipalities and community based organizations around the country are celebrating the 5th annual National Welcoming Week. A series of events in Santa Clara County will bring communities, new and long-time residents together to acknowledge the benefits of encouraging and providing a welcoming environment for everyone.

“Santa Clara County is a vibrant place to live, work and play because of the rich diversity and undeniable contributions of its residents,” said President Dave Cortese, County of Santa Clara Board of Supervisors. “We embrace the idea of welcoming everyone who wants to add to the economic, social and cultural richness of our vibrant region.”

In its fifth annual commemoration, Welcoming Week seeks to build welcoming communities throughout the United States that support immigrant integration efforts.

“It’s important to provide a welcoming environment to everyone that arrives to drive our Silicon Valley economy and enrich our culture,” said County of Santa Clara Supervisor Cindy Chavez.

Among the events taking place during Welcoming Week, the Office of Immigrant Relations will have an informational display at the County’s Government Center from September 12 to 26, with images and data that reflect the contributions and sacrifices of new residents. On September 15, the U.

S. Citizenship and Immigration Services will conduct a Naturalization Ceremony in Campbell, California. As the Keynote speaker for this event, Maria Love, Manager of the County’s Office of Immigrant Relations, will address the new citizens, emphasize the importance of civic engagement, and convey a welcoming message on behalf of the County.

“The County of Santa Clara Office of Immigrants Relations recognizes that Santa Clara County’s economic success is to a great extent the result of the hard work of immigrants, who contribute countless hours of services and resources to significantly increase the impact the county makes on the global economy,” said Love. “The cultures and traditions shared by immigrants provide a glimpse of the richness of other cultures around the world.”

The County Office of Immigrant Relations and President Cortese’s Office have scheduled a Welcoming Week Ceremonial Presentation for September 21 to celebrate the County’s first Welcoming Week commemoration. Local community leaders, immigrants and refugees will share with the public their immigration experiences and highlight immigrants’ contributions.

Welcoming Week will conclude in Santa Clara County with the screening of the documentary El Canto del Colibrí, hosted by the County of Santa Clara Office of LGBTQ Affairs, followed by Q+A panel with the filmmaker and local leaders. This community enriching event seeks to encourage participants to reflect on the relationships of

reconstructive surgeons can correct these problems early—often while the children are still infants. However, in some cases, facial reconstruction is not easy or even possible.

CCA, UCLA, and AboutFace-USA all deal with the realities of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, a challenging and often debilitating mental health disorder that occurs in individuals who have endured traumatic experiences. PTSD often centers on the theme of the abuse (e.g. war and combat, childhood bullying victimization, physical abuse, frequent and invasive surgeries, etc.) with research showing that 7.5 percent of people experience PTSD. PTSD-related suicide is the tenth leading cause of death in the United States.

Approximately 20 military veterans suffering from PTSD commit suicide every day, nearly one every hour. This event will raise further awareness and opportunity for those with craniofacial anomalies, disabled military veterans, and those who battle PTSD. About The Organizations:

This unique event celebrates Craniofacial Acceptance Month (September), which is a time for people with facial differences and craniofacial anomalies to celebrate their appearances and help widen the circle of acceptance for children and adults with facial differences. One of the primary event functions is raising awareness and funds for the Children's Craniofacial Association (CCA, www.ccakids.org). UCLA’s Pediatric Craniofacial Program at Mattel Children’s Hospital (UCLA, https://www.uclahealth. o r g / M a t t e l / Pe d i a t r i c - C r a n i o f a c i a l Program/Pages/default.aspx), AboutFaceUSA ( http://www.aboutface-usa.org), a military and veterans’ charity service organization empowering injured veterans and their families, are also beneficiaries and have joined forces with CCA in the Fight for Acceptance.

The Pediatric Craniofacial Program at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA is committed to providing compassionate and expert quality care to children who have congenital and craniofacial anomalies.

This program has achieved national and international recognition and currently functions as one of the largest programs of its kind in the United States. <https:// w w w.uclahealth.org/Mattel/PediatricCraniofacial-Program/Pages/default.aspx>.

Craniofacial anomalies consist of physical birth defects resulting in abnormal structures and underdevelopment that affect the bones, muscles, and tissues of the face and skull. Approximately 20,000 children are born with a facial difference in the United States every year. In many cases,

AboutFace-USA serves as a community resource for veterans; providing access to services and resources that support recovery, rehabilitation, and community reintegration. It is dedicated to empowering veterans and their families. <http://www. aboutface-usa.org>.

Children's Craniofacial Association, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 1989, serves over 20,000 families per year. CCA's mission is empowering and giving hope to individuals and families affected by facial differences. www.ccakids.org

On Monday September 12, 2016 California Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León released the following statement responding to Governor Brown signing AB 1066 (Gonzalez) and SB 1015 (Leyva): “Today, after decades of struggle, hundreds of thousands of hard-working Californians in our agricultural and domestic service industries won the right to daily and weekly overtime by separate bills signed into law.

“Hoy, después de décadas de lucha, cientos de miles de californianos que trabajan duro en la industria agrícola y el servicio doméstico, ganaron el derecho de percibir diaria y semanalmente horas extraordinarias, en propuestas separadas que fueron convertidas en ley. Estoy profundamente agradecido a la Asambleísta Lorena González, por su determinación para luchar por nuestros trabajadores del campo, y a la Senadora Connie Leyva, por defender a tantos trabajadores del servicio doméstico, a lo largo y ancho de California. En especial, quiero agradecer al gobernador Brown por firmar y convertir en ley las medidas AB 1066 y SB 1015, garantizando que nuestros trabajadores más vulnerables y sus familias tengan un poco más de seguridad financiera en su vida cotidiana. ¡Sí se puede y Sí Se Pudo!”

CALIFORNIA, EL ESTADO CON LA MAYOR POBLACIÓN HISPANA DEL PAÍS, ES EL ESTADO #1 EN CERRAR LA BRECHA DIGITAL Latinos Conforman Entre un 50 y 60 Por Ciento del Número Total de Personas Beneficiadas por el Programa Internet Essentials de Comcast LIVERMORE, Calif – El Lunes Septiembre 12, 2016 Comcast anuncio que California es el estado número uno en cerrar la brecha digital en familias de bajos recursos. Casi 115,000 familias, o casi 460,000 californianos, se han inscrito al aclamado programa Internet Essentials. Otros estados con una alta población latina se encuentran entre los diez estados con la mayor cantidad de inscripciones al programa, estos son: Florida (2o), Illinois (3o), Georgia (4o), Texas (6o) y Colorado (9o).

La compañía también anuncio más de $200,000 en donaciones a organizaciones comunitarias del Área de la Bahía para la construcción de salas de computadores, la creación de clases de entrenamiento digital y la compra de equipo tecnológico. Adicionalmente, la compañía donó 100 computadoras portátiles a hogares del centro de personas de tercera edad George Davis Senior Center y otras 100 computadoras portátiles fueron entregadas a familias de estudiantes de la escuela primaria PLACE @ Prescott en Oakland. Entrando en su sexto año de existencia, el programa Internet Essentials ha conectado a 750,000 familias de bajos recursos a nivel nacional, beneficiando así a 3 millones de estadounidenses con un servicio de internet en el hogar; de estos, entre un 50 y 60 por ciento son de origen hispano.

La compañía también anunció su asociación con Larry Magid, Presidente y Director Ejecutivo de ConnectSafely.org (una compañía californiana sin ánimo de lucro dedicada a la seguridad del internet), para el lanzamiento de una guía gratuita llamada “Online & Mobile Safety Guide”. Esta misma, la cual se encuentra disponible para descargar

gratuitamente aquí, cubre las necesidades únicas de las personas mayores quienes están aprendiendo a usar el internet por primera vez.

“Desde que el programa Internet Essentials fue lanzado en el 2011, hemos hecho avances significativos conectando al internet los hogares de familias de bajos recursos con niños. A lo largo del último año, hemos atacado de diferentes maneras la brecha digital con programas piloto para ancianos y estudiantes universitarios de bajos ingresos,” dijo David L. Cohen, Vicepresidente Ejecutivo Senior y Director de Diversidad de Comcast Corporation.

“Adicionalmente, recientemente colaboramos con el Departamento de Vivienda y Desarrollo Urbano (HUD, por sus siglas en inglés) para expandir Internet Essentials a los hogares asistidos por esta misma organización. Esto nos ayuda aún más a alcanzar a personas de la tercera edad, ya que en 34 por ciento de los hogares asistidos por HUD reside alguien con al menos 62 años de edad. Esperamos con entusiasmo el poder llevar esta conexión esencial a más personas en California y en todo el país.”

“De acuerdo a un estudio del Pew Research Center del 2014, casi 60 por ciento de estadounidenses mayores de 65 años eran usuarios del internet”, dijo Larry Magid, Presidente y Director Ejecutivo de ConnectSafely.org, “mas sin embargo, así como una guía turística es importante para la planeación de un viaje a un país foráneo, los adultos mayores necesitan una guía en el mundo del internet, ya que es como un idioma extranjero para muchos. Por eso es que hoy estamos enorgullecidos en poder lanzar la guía gratuita “Online & Mobile Safety Guide”

SEPTEMBER 16-22, 2016 para personas de la tercera edad gracias a la ayuda de Comcast.”

Cohen hizo estos anuncios hoy junto a la seis veces medallista Olímpica y portavoz oficial de Internet Essentials Jackie Joyner-Kersee, como parte de una gira por varias ciudades con motivo del regreso a clases donde la compañía anunciara más de $2 millones en donaciones a organizaciones comunitarias que proveen un vital entrenamiento digital y acceso a internet.

En San Francisco, las organizaciones que recibieron ayuda incluyen a: Self Help for the Elderly, Community Living Campaign, Community Technology Network, Bayview Senior Services, Chinatown Community Development Center, Mission Housing Development Corporation y Felton Institute – Family Service Agency of San Francisco.

En Oakland, las organizaciones que recibieron esta ayuda fueron: Oakland Citizens Committee for Urban Renewal (OCCUR), Oakland Private Industry Council, Spanish Speaking Citizens Foundation, Oakland Digital Arts & Literacy Center (ODALC), Qeyno Labs y Oakland Technology Exchange West.

“Tanto durante mi carrera deportiva como en los tiempos que le siguieron, siempre he tratado de inspirar a los jóvenes para que se comprometan a trabajar duro en sus estudios y en los deportes”, indicó Joyner-Kersee. “Crecí practicando deportes y todo lo que deseaba era que las reglas del juego fueran equitativas, donde aquellos que han puesto todo su esfuerzo tengan la oportunidad de destacarse. Me enorgullece ser la representante del programa Internet Essentials porque este ayuda a nivelar las reglas del juego para todas las familias al conectar sus hogares al poder del internet.

Internet Essentials ofrece a todos los niños la oportunidad de desarrollar su potencial al máximo y alcanzar sus sueños, sin importar cuales sean”.

Los anuncios realizados en el día de hoy siguen una noticia reciente la cual dice que Comcast ha ampliado los criterios de elegibilidad del programa para cubrir los hogares financiados por HUD, incluyendo viviendas públicas, Vales de Elección de Vivienda [Housing Choice Voucher] y programas Multifamiliares. En California hay aproximadamente 190,000 viviendas financiadas por HUD que podrían beneficiarse de esta ampliación del programa.

En total hay aproximadamente 2 millones de viviendas financiadas por HUD en las áreas de servicio de Comcast en todo el país las que, de acuerdo con HUD, representan aproximadamente el 40 por ciento de todas las viviendas que HUD financia. Por otro lado, un 24 por ciento de todas las viviendas asistidas por HUD son encabezadas por una persona latina.

La expansión de los criterios de elegibilidad significa que muchas más personas, incluyendo personas de la tercera edad, veteranos y adultos sin hijos, podrán solicitar la inscripción al programa.

Adicionalmente, Comcast recientemente lanzó

COMMUNITY

EL OBSERVADOR | www.el-observador.com un reporte compresivo acerca de los últimos cinco años de Internet Essentials, el cual incluye nuevos logros significativos acerca del impacto hecho en la vida de sus usuarios desde el lanzamiento del programa en el 2011.

“Es una prioridad para nosotros el cerrar la brecha digital en todas las comunidades multiculturales a las cuales servimos,” dijo Nicolas Jimenez, Gerente General de Internet Essentials. “El programa Internet Essentials ya ha conectado los hogares de cientos de miles de latinos a internet de alta velocidad, pero aún queda mucho trabajo por hacer ya que, según la Oficina del Censo, solo un 65.9% de los hogares hispanos tienen internet en sus hogares, comparados con un 76.2% de hogares anglosajones.

“Estamos muy agradecidos al poder ayudar a nuestra comunidad con esta donación” dijo Marcia Contreras, Directora de Servicios Residenciales y de Operaciones en Mission Housing. “Viendo a las personas a quienes nuestra organización ayuda, nos damos cuenta lo mucho que se pueden beneficiar de un entrenamiento de capacitación digital. La mayoría de las compañías requieren que se aplique a empleos a través del internet y la red es también una gran fuente de materiales para la capacitación laboral, entonces el tener este conocimiento, y también un acceso al internet, es de suma importancia cuando se habla de cerrar la brecha económica que existe en los hogares de bajos recursos.”

Are environmentalists against artificial cloning of living organisms?

Dolly the sheep will forever be remembered as the first cloned mammal, but someday cloning could become our best hope for saving endangered species. Credit: Craig Marren, FlickrCC.

Roddy Scheer & Doug Moss EarthTalk As many endangered species near extinction, cloning seems like a viable solution to rebuild populations. Using DNA from already deceased animals, cloning can even increase the diversity of a gene pool.

There are only seven white rhinos confirmed to be alive today, for example, so adding only

a few more through cloning could mean the difference between extinction and survival of the entire species. Why, then, do many environmentalists oppose the artificial cloning of endangered species?

Cloning is often thought of as unnatural and inhumane, but it was, in fact, the first method of reproduction and is still very common in nature today. Asexual

reproduction, the oldest form of cloning, is used by aspens, stick insects and Kentucky Bluegrass.

Artificial cloning began in 1928, when Hilde Mangold took a first step: injecting DNA into an egg. By 1952, the first animal was successfully cloned. It was a tadpole.

Perhaps the most notable clone in recent history, Dolly the Sheep, was the first mammal to be cloned from an adult cell. The first endangered animal to be cloned was the Gaur in 2001. But along with these successes were many failed and forgotten clones. Even the cloning of common, well-understood animals is difficult. Dolly the Sheep was the result of the 434th cloning attempt and only lived to just over half the average lifespan of a sheep. When the animals are endangered and their reproductive physiology is not well understood, cloning gets even more difficult.

Cloning of endangered species has a wildly low success rate; usually under one percent.

Even successful clones are often not able to themselves reproduce and usually live shorter than average lives. Because of the potential for reducing the already low numbers of existing population of endangered species, scientists often use close relatives for eggs and as mothers to gestate the cloned embryos. This often results in the mother rejecting the egg or if the clone is

born, reproductive complications.

Due to such inefficiencies, most environmental leaders are not bullish on cloning endangered species. “The potential of cloning is intriguing, but it's been very little tested in terms of its practical application,” says Oliver Ryder, an endangered species expert at the San Diego Zoo. “The way to preserve endangered species is to preserve them in their habitat.”

Despite not being a viable current method for saving endangered animals, cloning could very well be effective in the future.

“Frozen zoos” in San Diego and Brazil hold the genetic material of extinct and endangered animals and could be used if need be and if the technology improves.

In the meantime, and as Ryder points out, efforts to stop poaching and the destruction of habitats—rather than high-tech fixes like cloning—could go much further to preserve species.

IMMIGRATION CORNER

TAKING THE NEXT STEP FROM GREEN CARD TO U.S. CITIZENSHIP

By Raul Ray, Esq. Naturalization is the process by which U.S. citizenship is granted to a foreign citizen or national after he or she fulfills the eligibility requirements pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).

Applicants granted U.S. citizenship are able to vote in federal elections and apply for job openings with the U.S. Federal Government. These are just some of the benefits of becoming a U.S. citizen.

In order to apply for naturalization, an applicant must be at least eighteen years old and must produce proof of being a lawful permanent resident of the United States.

Applicants must have resided continuously in the U.S.A. as a lawful permanent resident for the last five years immediately prior to applying for naturalization or for the 3 years if the applicant is married to a U.S. citizen.

In addition, applicants must have been physically present in the United States for at least thirty months out of the previous 60 months or 18 months out of the previous 36 months if the applicant is married to a U.S. citizen. Applicants must live in their district or state for at least 3 months prior to applying for naturalization.

An applicant must be a person of good moral character. The commission of certain crimes, lying to gain an immigration benefit or failing to pay court ordered child support or alimony or failing to pay taxes are just some examples

of the problems that could cause an applicant to be ineligible for naturalization.

Applicants must also demonstrate a basic understanding of the English language, including the ability to read, write and speak simple English. They must also pass a test on United States History and Civics.

Applicants who are 50 years of age and have held permanent resident status for at least 20 years or who are 55 years of age and have held permanent resident status for at least 15 years do not have to take the English test.

Applicants will still need to take the civics test but can do so in their own native language such as Spanish.

Applicants who are 65 years of age and have held permanent resident status for at least 20 years do not have to take the English test but still are required to take an easier civics test in their native language.

Applicants with a physical or developmental disability or mental impairment which prevents them from being able to learn English and civics or demonstrate knowledge of these requirements can apply for a medical exception from having to take the English and civics tests.

Finally, applicants must prove that they are attached to principles of the United States and swear allegiance to the United States.

To apply for naturalization, you can visit the government website at <uscis.gov> and download the Form N-400, Application for

Jazmine Turner Photography Specializing in Weddings, Couples, Maternity and Senior Portraiture.

jazmineturnerphotography@gmail.com

Naturalization. The filing fee is $680.00 which includes an $85.00 fee for biometrics.

Applicants 75 years of age or older are not charged a biometric fee so the total fee would be $595. There is no filing fee for certain military applicants.

An naturalization interview is generally scheduled anywhere from 4-6 months after the N400 application is filed with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service, (USCIS), and after applicants have taken their biometrics.

APPLE IPHONE 7: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

The New iPhone 7. Photo Courtesy: apple.com

Shelley Palmer Let me get right to the point. The new iPhone 7 is a fantastic, awesome, incredible, spectacular iteration of the iPhone 6. Great processor (a quad-core, 64-bit A10 Fusion), outstanding rear-facing camera (12 MP), a new wireless chip (W1) to facilitate Bluetooth connectivity, iOS 10, a pressure-sensitive home button, and taptic feedback. Oh, yeah, there’s one more thing …

There’s no headphone jack.

Calm down, fanpeople – I’m going to make my case.

It would have been fine to replace the 3.5 mm jack with an additional lightning port. If the iPhone 7 had two lightning ports, you would be able to do all of the following:

• Listen to Music While Charging Your iPhone • Talk

with Wired Headphones While Charging Your iPhone

• Use a Payment Dongle While Charging Your iPhone

• Do

Anything Other than Charge Your iPhone While Charging Your iPhone

THE IPHONE 7 HAS ONLY ONE LIGHTNING PORT! Which means that to do any of the above, you will need a huge dongle like the Belkin Lightning Audio + Charge RockStar.™ It’s not the $40 price tag that bothers me, it’s that I need to carry it in my pocket at all times.

Or if you reject the idea of using headphones with a lightning plug, you will need an adapter cable (included with your iPhone 7).

Or you can purchase a different dongle with one 3.5 mm jack and one lightning jack.

Oh, wait, there’s one more thing …

YOU WILL ALSO NEED TWO PAIRS OF HEADPHONES No device you own is compatible with lightning plugs. So if you want to use your new lightning connector headphones to video chat (Skype, Facebook Messenger Video, Google Hangouts, etc.) on your laptop, you’ll need a “femalelightning to male 3.5 mm adapter” (which currently does not exist) or you’ll have to use your old headphones. In fact, if you want to listen to anything on any device other than an iPhone 7 (including your MacBook, MacBook

Air, MacBook Pro, all iPads, iPods, etc.), you will need an adapter that does not yet exist or your old headphones or earbuds.

WHY DEFEND AN ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY? The venerable 3.5 mm headphone jack is a minified version of a hundred-year-old, singleuse, antiquated, old-fashioned, generally awful receptacle for an equally outdated 3.5 mm plug. It comes in a few iterations. TS (tip, sleeve) for mono audio. TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) for stereo. TRRS (tip, ring, ring, sleeve) for stereo audio with a microphone. TRRRS (tip, ring, ring, ring, sleeve) for stereo audio and a video signal. It has been around since the earth was cooling. And while it generally sucks, it is the world standard connector for consumer-grade headphones and earbuds.

SHELLY, YOU’RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY – THE FUTURE IS DIGITAL! Yep. It sure is. And the lightning connector offers 24-bit, 48 kHz lossless output, which you need like a hole in your head with the 29-cent transducers on the business end of consumergrade earbuds! If you compress your music files by checking the “convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC,” you cannot – not won’t, cannot – hear the difference between analog or digital earbuds. The audio resolution simply isn’t there.

If you’re walking outside or in any environment where there is a noise floor of any level above perceived quiet, the difference between analog and digital open-air (as opposed to sealed-ear) earbuds or headphones is imperceptible.

Digital is not the future; it has been around for decades. And those of us who record for a living have been using super high-end digital-toanalog converters (you can’t listen to a digital signal; it must be converted to analog for you to hear it) for years. That’s not what is happening here, so don’t start with me about “digital.”

Unless you pioneered digital audio, work in the business, or have an EE in physics, you don’t know enough about it.

It is not. Add the power cables to the audio cables to the dongles and adapters, and you are in a sea of cables – the iPhone 7 is as far from wireless as you can get!

WHAT ABOUT THE NEW, COOL W1 CHIP? I love it. The W1 chip will make it easier to connect Bluetooth devices together and has many advantages over the current implementation of Bluetooth.

Your current Bluetooth-compatible wireless headphones will work with the iPhone 7. The battery issue will be the same non-starter it has been since you purchased them. Now instead of walking through the airport or train station waiting area muttering “Charge, charge” hoping a Good Samaritan will take pity on you and offer their spare wall brick and lightning cable, you will resort to violence because you will need to charge your iPhone AND your wireless headphones. “Officer, see that the crazy person over there? The one rocking back and forth in the corner who just keeps repeating, ‘I need power, p-o-w-e-r.’ That’s the person who hit me in the head with a huge dongle and stole my charger.”

Wireless headphones are awesome for runners or people who work out. They’re great for shortterm uses. If you have the discipline to charge them every day and don’t use them too much, they might be a solution for you. For everyone else in the world, throwing a pair of wireless headphones in your backpack or purse is a useless gesture. They do not hold their charge indefinitely.

The downsides of wireless headphones are well understood by everyone who has ever owned a pair. Even Apple’s new AirPods, which are optimized for long(er) battery life, need to be charged every day. (BTW, and I’m being super serious now, do AirPods present a choking hazard for children? They look pretty small.)

IT’S THE THINNEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL IPHONE EVER

THE FUTURE IS WIRELES OK, let’s talk about wireless. The iPhone 7 is not wireless; it now has more wires than any other device I would even consider putting in my pocket. If it were wireless, it would be Qi, PMA/AirFuel or A4WP Rezence inductive charger (“wireless” charging pad) compatible.

You will love the fit and finish of an iPhone 7 for the first three minutes you own it. Then, you are going to put it in a case so neither the color of the iPhone nor its relative thinness will matter at all. Any case that can protect the device will make it way thicker, and even Apple’s own preggers-looking iPhone 6s Smart

Battery Case completely covers everything but the front of the phone.

SHELLY, YOU’RE TOO STUPID TO OWN A SMARTPHONE! So here’s the thing. The “future is wireless.” We are quickly heading toward a world dominated by wireless networked devices. Soon your Apple Watch, some kind of VR, AR or Mixed Reality glasses, and some kind of implant will get us closer to Ray Kurzweil’s Singularity.

How soon? Three years? Four years? By 2040?

(That’s the median between Vernor Vinge’s and Ray Kurzweil’s revised estimated dates for the Singularity.)

We’re going there; there’s no question in my mind. That said, there’s no rational explanation for making the iPhone 7 incompatible with every other consumer electronics device on the planet (including every Apple computer ever made).

If the near-term future is wireless, why change the jack now? Demonstrate to the world that 3.5 mm jacks are valueless, and it will be obvious when to remove them. Floppy disks died by themselves, as did CDs and DVDs, because there were better, easier, simpler options that everyone was naturally gravitating toward. No one, and I mean no one, has ever gone to bed at night and, in that special moment between being awake and asleep, had a heavenly voice say to them, “Life on earth would be better if we could just lose that ancient 3.5 mm audio jack.

Remove it, and all the problems of humankind will disappear as this evil excuse for an audio connector, this scourge, nay, this blight on the people, is banished from the earth!”

COURAGE Apple senior vice president Phil Schiller defended the removal of the “ancient” 3.5 mm audio jack thusly: “It comes down to one word: Courage.”

Sorry, Phil. Courage is “what makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist or the dusky dusk.” And “what makes the muskrat guard his musk.” It has absolutely nothing to do with the kind of torture you are about to inflict on millions of loyal iPhone users who did nothing to you, Phil. Nothing but put $240 billion in cash on your balance sheet and make Apple one of the most valuable companies in the world. And so I shall end as I began and simply ask, “Are you f#$king kidding me?”

“Si se aprueba este

impuesto a los alimentos,

cualquier artículo en la tienda podría aumentar de precio.”

Carlos Arana PROPIETARIO, CASA MARIA #2 F El impuesto a los alimentos podría aumentar el precio de cualquier artículo en la tienda, no sólo las bebidas gaseosas. 1

F Los residentes de San Francisco tienen mayores prioridades para el gobierno de la ciudad que un impuesto a nuestros alimentos. 2

F No hay garantía de que el dinero de este impuesto se usará correctamente.

El impuesto a los alimentos irá al fondo general de la ciudad donde los políticos pueden usarlo en lo que quieran. 3

F Líderes que están al pendiente, como el Senador Bernie Sanders,

se oponen a un impuesto regresivo a los alimentos. Sanders ha dicho recientemente que “un impuesto que afecta a los pobres y la clase media, pero no a los ricos” no es el adecuado. 4
