103 years old he says I have no fear of being burgled



La anciana Louise Signore y su asaltante Sharon McNeilNY. After a brutal assault perpetrated by a woman with a criminal record of 27 prior arrests, which pushed and hit in the head, hips, arms and back, the old Louise Signore, 103 years, warned not to fear and he said he will continue leaving the building where he lives in Co-op City project ", in the Bronx.

Mrs. Signore, who recounted in interviews with various local media that is legally blind and has trouble in the arm by a fall suffered several years ago, was the victim of a robber corpulent, identficada as Sharon McNeil, which surprised her in the building after to follow the elevator and attacked her in the hallway.

The old woman, who weighs 99 pounds and is 4'5 inches tall, narrated that the robber pushed and fell to the floor, while the mugger stole the food he carried in a cart.

"I could not see anyone in the elevator as he left the building, she pushed me, I fell on my back, I hit my head and buying thief took," said Signore.

But even stunned, the old woman refused to go to a hospital accompanied by paramedics and police.

Signore, suffer from several complications because of their advanced age, while the robber is 53 years old and weighs 250 pounds.

Each day ago dance sessions and says it is "in good shape", even after the heist.

Sharon McNeil was arrested last Saturday after being identified in the video of a security camera in the building, in the Allerton neighborhood in the Bronx.

One of the previous arrests of McNeil was in 2013 for prostitution. He is accused of robbery, assault and harassment.

Signore said he regrets the loss of your purchase and personal items he stole the robber.

"I had everything in my car, everything," he lamented the centuries-old woman.

She worked as an administrative assistant at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and for many years, is retired.

He thinks that crime has worsened in New York, which has witnessed in his long life.

"The city was not like that when I was young. He lived with our doors open, "he added.

"It's a different world today. You can not even go out today. My God, sorry for the youth of the world, he lamented.

Signore has lived in the Bronx since I was 12 years old and all his family is dead.

IPHONE


Now that the FBI has managed to crack its way into an iPhone used by one of the San Bernardino, Calif., shooters, the floodgates may be opening   despite the agency's previous statement that its legal battle with Apple was about just one phone.

The FBI has agreed to help local law enforcement unlock an iPhone and iPod connected to an Arkansas murder case, the Associated PressreportedAnd FBI officials pledged to "consider any tool that might be helpful" to local law enforcement partners in an advisory sent to departments that had inquired about the technique used on the San Bernardino iPhone, according to Buzzfeed News.

Although the advisory stopped short of explicitly saying the agency would use the undisclosed method deployed on the San Bernardino phone, it referred to the high-profile case. The FBI has been debating whether the technique, which is classified, should be used to help with state and local criminal investigations

If  that technique is used to help, there may be limitations, because the FBI -- which has declined to identify who helped the agency unlock the San Bernardino phone -- would likely be unwilling to testify about the method. Otherwise, it might be forced to reveal how the hacking tool works.

"I would very much think that a defendant would be on strong legal footing in wanting to know how the method works -- although that disclosure might happen not publicly, but behind closed doors and be subject to various protective orders," said Alex Abdo, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union. That means that local law enforcement would probably need to avoid using evidence gained by the technique during prosecutions.

During the legal stand-off in San Bernardino, Apple argued that the FBI's demand that the company create a tool to bypass some of Apple's own security features would ultimately endanger all iPhones. The FBI responded that the case was about only one phone.

"Even if 'criminals, terrorists, and hackers' somehow infiltrated Apple and stole the software necessary to unlock [San Bernardino shooter Syed Rizwan] Farook’s iPhone, the only thing that software could be used to do is unlock Farook’s iPhone," investigators wrote in one court filing.

But FBI Director James Comey also acknowledged in a congressional hearing that the agency would potentially use a favorable ruling to pursue similar unlocking requests in other cases.

Still, it's uncertain just how helpful the mysterious technique will be to local law enforcement, even if the FBI is in a sharing mood: The San Bernardino case involved an iPhone 5C, a slightly older model of phone -- and the devices that police want help with may have different hardware and software combinations that aren't vulnerable to the method.

DRONE TEGNOLOGY

Drones Marshaled to Drop Lifesaving Supplies Over Rwandan Terrain

HALF MOON BAY, Calif. — From a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, a loud pop signals the catapult launch of a small fixed-wing drone that is designed to carry medical supplies to remote locations almost 40 miles away.

The drones are the brainchild of a small group of engineers at a Silicon Valley start-up called Zipline, which plans to begin operating a service with them for the government of Rwanda in July. The fleet of robot planes will initially cover more than half the tiny African nation, creating a highly automated network to shuttle blood andpharmaceuticals to remote locations in hours rather than weeks or months.

Rwanda, one of the world’s poorest nations, was ranked 170th by gross domestic product in 2014 by the International Monetary Fund. And so it is striking that the country will be the first, company executives said, to establish a commercial drone delivery network — putting it ahead of places like the United States, where there have been heavily ballyhooedfuturistic drone delivery systems promising urban and suburban package delivery from tech giants such as Amazon and Google.

“The concept of drone ports is something that a very small decision-making unit in the country decided they were going to do,” said Michael Fairbanks, a member of the Rwandan president Paul Kagame’s presidential advisory council. “It took a very short time. It’s something that America could learn from.”

That Rwanda is set to become the first country with a drone delivery network illustrates the often uneven nature of the adoption of new technology. In the United States, drones have run into a wall of regulation and conflicting rules. But in Rwanda, the country’s master development plan has placed a priority on the use of the machines, first for medicine and then more broadly for economic development.

“Rwanda has a vision to become a technology hub for East Africa and ultimately the whole continent of Africa,” said William Hetzler, a founder of Zipline, which is based in this seaside town. “Projects like ours fit very well with that strategy.”

The new drone system will initially be capable of making 50 to 150 daily deliveries of blood and emergency medicine to Rwanda’s 21 transfusing facilities, mostly in hospitals and clinics in the western half of the nation.

The drone system is based on a fleet of 15 small aircraft, each with twin electric motors, a 3.5-pound payload and an almost eight-foot wingspan. The system’s speed makes it possible to maintain a “cold chain” — essentially a temperature-controlled supply chain needed to provide blood and vaccines — which is often not practical to establish in developing countries.

The Zipline drones will use GPS receivers to navigate and communicate via the Rwandan cellular network. They will be able to fly in rough weather conditions, enduring winds up to 30 miles per hour.

When they reach the hospitals, they will not land but will drop small packages from very low altitudes. The supplies will fall to earth suspended by simple paper parachutes. The planes will then return to a home base, where they will be prepared for a new mission by swapping in a new battery and snapping in a new flight plan stored in a SIM card.

“This is the new face of the aerospace industry,” said Jay Gundlach, president of FlightHouse Engineering, an Oregon-based aviation consulting firm. “Established unmanned aircraft companies should learn from Zipline’s agile and innovative culture.”

Like Zipline, others are trying to solve the problem of the autonomous distribution of medical supplies. Many other systems being developed, however, are based on less-efficient multicopter or quadcopter designs that have shorter range and less ability to fly in all-weather situations.

In the United States, a firm named Flirtey has delivered medical supplies using multirotor helicopters as an experiment in Virginia. Another Silicon Valley start-up, Matternet, is experimenting with the government of Malawi and with Unicef to deliver infant H.I.V. tests by quadcopter. Google X, the advanced research arm of Alphabet, is now developing a vertical-takeoff-and-landing system that will hover and deliver packages by the use of winches.

Zipline began in 2014 when two of its founders, Keller Rinaudo and Mr. Hetzler, visited a young public health worker in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The worker had created a text-messaging system that enabled hospital workers to urgently request medical supplies in life-or-death situations.

But Mr. Rinaudo said he realized that what he was looking at was a long list of death sentences. Today in many places worldwide, attempts are made to deliver medical supplies by motorcycle or pickup truck over roads that are frequently impassable.

The public health worker “showed me the database that had entries every time someone texted, and it was thousands of names long,” Mr. Rinaudo said. “It was mostly infants, and there was no response. The supply chain had no way of taking them into account.”

Mr. Rinaudo and Mr. Hetzler set about to find an airborne alternative to automate a supply chain. They met Keenan Wyrobek, a Stanford-trained roboticist who was instrumental in the design of the PR1 robot, a pioneering general purpose mobile robot with arms, and later the more advanced PR2 robot developed by Willow Garage.

The three technologists assembled an engineering team with aerospace industry experience, attracting talent from Space X, Aurora Flight Sciences, Boeing and Lockheed Martin, as well as Stanford and Google. The start-up has raised $18 million from investors including Sequoia Capital, GV (formerly Google Ventures), SV Angel, Subtraction Capital, Stanford University and individuals including Jerry Yang, a founder of Yahoo, and Paul Allen, a founder of Microsoft.

Mr. Hetzler said that by placing engineers who have consumer electronics expertise in close collaboration with roboticists and aerospace engineers, it had been possible to rapidly build a highly automated system that would be operated by a staff of five to eight.

In February, Zipline signed a contract with the Rwandan government to begin operating the drone service this summer. A small team will be based in a city near the Rwandan capital of Kigali to oversee the service.

“I always think of Peter Thiel, the venture capitalist, who said, ‘They promised us flying cars and all we got was 140 characters,’” said Paul Willard, a former Boeing aerodynamics engineer who is now an investor in Zipline, referring to the social media service Twitter. “This feels a little bit more like flying cars.”












OPINIONATOR


In early 2013, the Rev. Theresa S. Thames stumbled upon a Facebook page titled “GirlTrek: Healthy Black Women and Girls.”

“It saved my life,” she said.

Thames, then 33, was dangerously overweight and fighting depression. She sent the site her contact information and received an email from Vanessa Garrison, co-founder of GirlTrek, an organization that inspires black women to change their lives and communities by walking. Garrison learned that Thames was a pastor and invited her to lead a prayer at an event in Washington commemorating the 100th anniversary of Harriet Tubman’s death.

“I was out there leading a prayer for this walking event in my 447-pound body and I felt like a fraud,” said Thames, who is the associate dean of religious life and the chapel at Princeton University. But she also found herself stirred by the spirit of the event.

“It wasn’t about looking good or weight loss or fitting into a certain type of clothing,” she recalled. “It wasn’t, ‘Hey, you fat person, you need to do this or you’re going to die.’ It was, ‘I love you and I want you to love yourself enough to invest in 30 minutes a day, to walk yourself to freedom like Harriet Tubman did.’ And that spoke deeply for me because my life work is showing up for other people, but I wasn’t showing up for myself.”

Thames completed the 100-minute walk that day. “My body was in pain,” she recalled. “But it felt good to be out there with other women. It was really encouraging because it was something I could do. So I committed to walking every day.”

She kept that promise. Over the past three years, she has lost more than 230 pounds. “I gained mental clarity and the resolve to take care of myself,” she said.

Thames is one of more than 58,000 women across the country who have joined GirlTrek’s movement and pledged to walk regularly in their neighborhoods and report their progress. There are tens of thousands of “solo trekkers” and 574 “trek teams” in more than 600 cities and towns. (Here is a map of coming treks.)


Morgan Dixon and Vanessa Garrison, right, co-founders of GirlTrek.

In the Forest Hill section of Jackson, Miss., for example, 15 to 20 women meet every weekday at 4:30 a.m. for a brisk walk. They call their team “Four Dark Thirty” (they meet before sunrise).

“It’s not a chore, it’s not exercise, it’s just going for a walk, and having a moment to reflect,” said Cynthia Thompson, an assistant director at Greater Bethlehem Temple Church, who is a volunteer city captain for GirlTrek in Jackson. “Some people in my church never had an in-depth conversation with each other until we started walking. It’s amazing the conversations that come up when you walk.”

A little west of Jackson, in Clinton, Miss., the Dynamic Divas of Clinton meet every day either before or after work. “It’s a lifeline for people,” said Kartessa Bell, an instructional coach at a public school and volunteer neighborhood captain. “Since they’ve been walking, one team member told me, she got off her depression medication. I’ve seen people growing more confident. One member went after a promotion at work.”

Each week, thousands of trekkers participate in “Superhero Saturday” walks. Groups of black women in bright blue T-shirts walking together have become regular features in hundreds of neighborhoods and parks.

The federal government’s guideline for adult physical activity recommends 30 minutes a day, five days a week. But there is a huge gap between guidelines and behavior. What makes GirlTrek so instructive is that it not only motivates people to be active on a significant scale, but that it does so with the statistically most sedentary subset of the population: black women, who have thehighest obesity rates in the country. (GirlTrek focuses on them because their need is highest, but the organization welcomes anyone.)

“We’ve spent an enormous amount of money on research-based approaches to obesity prevention and treatment, and almost none of them have worked with black women,” says Gary G. Bennett, a professor at Duke University and a leading researcher on obesity. “One of the key predictors of positive treatment outcomes is really high levels of engagement. I’ve been doing work on obesity as it affects medically vulnerable populations for 15 years, and I don’t know of anything in the scientific community or any public health campaigns that have been able to produce and sustain engagement around physical activity for black women like GirlTrek does. Not even close.”

Wyvette Robinson (center) leading a trek in Jackson, Mississippi.Bennett was so impressed that he joined GirlTrek’s board, as did Dr. Regina Benjamin, a former United States surgeon general. Together, they lead a committee focused on research and evaluation of GirlTrek’s impact on health.

GirlTrek grew out of the experiences of its two founders, Vanessa Garrison and Morgan Dixon, friends from college days, and began as a simple act of self-care and love. Garrison grew up in Seattle. When she was 5, her mother started using heroin; she was an addict for 15 years and spent eight years in prison. Garrison was reared by her grandmother and aunt and recalls a lot of emotional pain in the household.

“So much was happening negatively for the women who raised me: depression, despair, sadness and loneliness,” she said. “I felt a lot of guilt, but I wasn’t able to give back to them in any substantial way.” She began walking as “a very personal way of how you can heal from childhood traumas.”










THE NASA

This is America’s busiest spaceport, and the water is coming. Like so much of Florida, the Space 

Coast — a 72-mile stretch along the Atlantic — is feeling the threat of climate change. Some of the erosion is caused by the churning energy of ocean currents along the coastline. Hurricane Sandy, whose power was almost certainly strengthened by climate change, took a big bite in 2012, flattening an already damaged dune line that provided protection from the Atlantic’s battering.

A rising sea level will bring even greater risk over time — and perhaps sooner than most researchers expected. According to a study published last week, warming pressure on the Antarctic ice sheet could help push sea levels higher by as much as five or six feet by the end of this century.

NASA isn’t just a victim of climate change. It contributes to climate science in many ways, and not only in the data from the many satellites that orbit the planet after leaving Earth from here.

Its astronauts also help build awareness of the growing urgency of climate change. Astronaut Scott Kelly, who recently returned from nearly a year in space, took hundreds of photographs that could seem like abstract art or a dire warning; in an email interview just before his descent, he said that he had seen changes in the planet even since his previous mission in 2010.


“It seems to me there is more pollution in India and China than what I saw last time,” he said. “Definitely noticed the fires this summer in the U.S.A.; sometimes, could see the smoke all the way to Chicago.”

“Weather systems where they are not supposed to be obvious,” he added. “The fragility of the atmosphere always apparent.”

Pondering the Problem


NASA, which has at least $32 billion worth of structures and facilitiesaround the country, has been considering the possible effects of climate change for nearly a decade, said Kim W. Toufectis, a strategist who leads the master planning program for the space agency.

NASA, after all, is in the business of risk management. By 2007, “we had to acknowledge that we should recognize climate change and extreme weather as a formal risk that we should be actually managing,” Mr. Toufectis said.


With all of its expertise and its ability to make forecasts based on data, Mr. Toufectis added, “shame on us if we are not capitalizing on that.”


In fact, NASA’s climate risk extends far beyond Florida. About two-thirds of the land that NASA manages is within 16 feet of mean sea level, and much of it is near the coasts. “We are tremendously linked to the drink,” Mr. Toufectis said.

Medina encabeza acto Día FFAA y bicentenario Mella



El presidente Danilo Medina encabezó el acto de celebración del Día de las Fuerzas Armadas y el Bicentenario del patricio Matías Ramón Mella, efectuado en la sede del Ministerio de Defensa.
En la ceremonia estuvieron presentes los altos mando militares y policiales, funcionarios civiles y militares y miembros del Cuerpo diplomático acreditados ante el país.
El ministro de Defensa, teniente general Máximo Muñoz Delgado, resaltó el legado de Mella y dijo que ahora más que nunca las Fuerzas Armadas y el país deben honrar el esfuerzo de los padres de la Patria para que hoy podamos contar con una Patria libre e independiente.
Durante la ceremonia el presidente Medina realizó un recorrido por el interior de la sede del Ministerio de Defensa donde observó una exhibición iconográfica y pictórica sobre la vida y obra de Matías Ramón Mella.
Posteriormente, el jefe de Estado cortó la cinta simbólica para dejar inaugurado el edificio- residencia para oficiales extranjeros.
El ministro de Defensa explicó que el edificio es para darle un trato como se merecen los visitantes militares internacionales.
En la ceremonia estuvieron presentes algunos familiares de Mella, entre los que figuran Francia Mella, Hilda Mella, Julio Antonio Mella, Ildefonso Mella, Federico Mella, María Victoria Meneccuchi Mella y Alberto Mella, entre otros.
Mensaje

En un mensaje de felicitación, el presidente Medina reconoció el compromiso de los miembros de los cuerpos castrenses como salvaguarda de la Patria con ocasión de conmemorarse el Día de las Fuerzas Armadas.

El jefe de Estado consideró que “fieles al rol que les asigna la Constitución de la República, los hombres y mujeres que integran nuestras Fuerzas Armadas, se dedican cada día a la salvaguarda de la Patria, y honran, con auténtico sentido del deber, su compromiso de salvaguardar la democracia y los intereses de la Patria”.
Asimismo, Medina, autoridad suprema de las Fuerzas Armadas y la Policía Nacional, manifestó que ese apego a los principios patrióticos que les inspiran, nos invita a reconocer su contribución y empeño al mantenimiento de la paz y la seguridad de nuestro territorio, haciéndose acreedores de nuestro respeto.
Al reiterar sus congratulaciones a todos los militares, el Presidente les exhortó a sostener con orgullo los ideales de la institucionalidad y las consignas que dieron origen a nuestra libertad y soberanía.
Ministerio Educación

Por otra parte, el ministerio de Educación conmemoró ayer con ofrendas florales, oficios religiosos, paradas y desfiles estudiantiles, el bicentenario del nacimiento del prócer de la Independencia Nacional y de la Guerra Restauradora, Matías Ramón Mella.

El acto central del Ministerio fue realizado en el Altar de la Patria, donde una comisión encabezada por el viceministro Luis de León, y el presidente de la Comisión Nacional de Efemérides Patrias, Juan Daniel Balcácer, depositaron una ofrenda floral y resaltaron los aportes del patricio a la Independencia Nacional.
Al hablar en representación del ministro de Educación, Carlos Amarante Baret, el viceministro destacó que Mella dejó al país el instrumento para que sea libre de toda potencia extranjera, como fue el manual de guerra de guerrillas, que sirvió de base no solamente para alcanzar la independencia de República Dominicana sino también de Cuba.
Posteriormente, estudiantes del Centro de Excelencia Salomé Ureña, tuvieron a cargo un despliegue de banderas en el área frontal del Altar de la Patria. Más tarde, las autoridades educativas se dirigieron a la Puerta de la Misericordia, donde develizaron una estatua en homenaje a Mella. Además de Educación, otras instituciones depositaron ofrendas en el Altar de la Patria.
También en Santiago

También en Santiago fue celebrado con diversas actividades el bicentenario del natalicio del Patricio Matías Ramón Mella, con la participación de las Fuerzas Amadas, Policía Nacional, Ministerio de Educación y otros sectores de esta sociedad.


Los actos se iniciaron en el fuerte San Luis con el izamiento de la Bandera Nacional y ofrenda florales en la estatua del prócer de la Independencia y la Restauración, para luego realizar un desfile por las calles céntricas de la ciudad.
Luego fue realizado un Tedeum en la Catedral Santiago Apóstol encabezado por el obispo auxiliar de esta arquidiócesis, Valentín Reynoso, con la presencia de funcionarios civiles y militares.
