Tyson Hellmich recently became the new owner of a "smart house" in a "smart community."“The technology, obviously, was a huge part of our decision. Every house gets one-gig internet, and that’s nothing we’ve ever experienced before,” Hellmich said.From high-speed internet to automated coffee makers, smart homes are popping up throughout the country. And just how smart the home can be depends on how much you want to spend.“The smart home features are highly dependent on your own investment,” Hellmich said.There’s also technology outside of the home that’s part of the community. Irrigation sensors can detect when grass needs to be watered, and streetlights are used to alert the community of a significant weather event or safety hazard.“They have a little LED light on top of each one of them that can change colors,” Hellmich said.The definition of a smart community depends who you ask.“A smart community is really an innovative community looking for new technologies and partnerships with folks like Arrow to solve problems in a different way,” Colorado Smart Cities Alliance Executive Director Tyler Svitak said.Using the latest technologies, Svitak says these communities can tackle problems that arise with transportation, air quality, water conservation and energy efficiency. For example, in the case of a water main break, people used to not know the main had burst until their street was flooded.“Now we can predict that before it happens by putting sensors underground, and monitoring that leakage over time to prevent that water main break from happening in the first place,” Svitak said.There aren’t a lot of metrics on the number of smart communities already in place across the nation.According to Svitak, the term was coined in 2010 and really started to explode in 2016, when the federal government gave cities million to spend on smart technology.“It’d be hard pressed to find a major city or a mid-sized city not working on smart solutions,” Svitak said.The most critical part of a smart community is connectivity.Walker Hinshaw is the COO of Lumiere, the technology provider for a smart community in Colorado called Sterling Ranch. He says "fiber" is the technology being used to connect everything in these new communities, making internet speeds faster than ever.“Fiber’s really that passive component in the system, so as the electronics get better and better, we’re going to be able to have faster and faster speeds out here,” Hinshaw said.As technology improves, smart city enthusiasts believe life can get better, too.“Developers are realizing that there’s a huge return on investment for residents to better monitor their water or their energy, or improve the safety of their community by making sure the police can respond more quickly to an incident," Svitak said. "Maybe there’s even a camera that’s able to detect a traffic accident before anyone can pick up the phone and dial 911.” Hellmich believes it’s the future of housing and he’s looking forward to witnessing how it changes day-to-day life.“As technology progresses, it’s inevitable for it to make its way more and more into our homes,” Hellmich said.  3172

We wish this week had never ended.Nothing was better than voting for our favorite ball of fur day after day. But Fat Bear Week is over and a winner has been named: 435 Holly, you glorious creature, the crown is yours."She is fat. She is fabulous," Alaska's Katmai National Park and Preserve, which created the competition five years ago, wrote. "All hail Holly whose healthy heft will help her hibernate until the spring. Long live the Queen of Corpulence."And we gotta give it to her, 435 Holly really packed on the pounds before hibernation. In just a little over two months, she completely transformed.What just happened?Let's backtrack.Fat Bear Week is an annual competition, held by the Alaskan park, to crown the fattest bear of the state's Brook River. The winner is picked with the help of online voters.The area's chunkiest bears competed in tough head-to-head matches until Tuesday. The winner of each round was determined by the number of votes they garnered, and then moved on to the next round to face their next competitor.And if you're asking if there really were other contenders, the answer is yes. There was a tournament bracket full of them.Are these bears OK with us calling them fat?Yes! They strive for it."There is no shame in winning this contest as large amounts of body fat in brown bears is indicative of good health and strong chances of survival," the National Park Service said in a news release.Alaska's brown bears are the largest brown bears in the world and eat up to 90 pounds of food each day, including other smaller mammals, salmon, berries, flowers and herbs."During winter hibernation, which can last for up to half of the year in their den, a bear could lose up to one third of its body mass. In preparation, the bears are entering hyperphagia this time of year, a state in which they eat nearly non-stop," NPS said.Male brown bears weigh anywhere from 600 to 900 pounds and by the time they go into hibernation, can jump up to a staggering 1,000 pounds, NPS said. Adult females usually weigh about a third less. The bears often get so big, that they have to dig a hole to stuff their belly in when they lay down to rest.How can you protect these tubby tummies?Take care of your surroundings.As a friendly reminder, the park said: "Fat bears only exist because of clean water and healthy ecosystems."Climate change, for example, poses a big threat to these glorious creatures.As the sea ice melts and polar bears find themselves on land more often, they begin to compete with brown bears for food."Such changes in food selection can result in large ecosystem changes as species adapted to be prey no longer have population control from predators, and other species suffer reduced populations due to additional predation," NPS said. 2784

Two countries issued travel warnings to their citizens about the United States following two mass shootings that killed 31 people.Both Venezuela and Uruguay warned their residents about violence and hate crimes in the United States Monday.Uruguay's Office of Foreign Ministry issued an advisory Monday saying citizens should "take precaution amid the growing indiscriminatory violence, specifically hate crimes including racism and discrimination" when traveling to the United States.The alert noted that other factors, such as the "indiscriminate possession of firearms by the population" and the "impossibility of authorities to prevent these situations," were among some of the reasons travelers need to be particularly wary of highly populated areas or events.Uruguay's warning also suggested avoiding the cities of Detroit, Baltimore and Albuquerque, as they were listed as part of the 20 most dangerous cities in the world according to the CEOworld Magazine 2019 index.Venezuela's Foreign Ministry office also issued a warning to its residents Monday, saying Venezuelans should postpone their travels or exercise caution when traveling as a result of the events in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio.The statement posted by the Foreign Ministry said that the "recent proliferation of violent acts and hate crimes" need to be considered by those planning to travel into the US."These increasing acts of violence have found an echo and support in the conversations and actions impregnated by racial discrimination and hatred against migrant populations, pronounced and executed by the supremacist elite who holds political power in Washington," the statement read in part.According to the statement, one of the main reasons for the violent acts in the US is the "inexcusable indiscriminate possession of fire arms by the population, encouraged by the federal government."In April, the US State Department gave Venezuela its highest travel advisory, Level 4: 1972

Voters in Denver, Colorado may soon have another big decision to make this coming May.In a place where pot is already permitted, is it ready for magic mushrooms as well?A group advocating the decriminalization of mushrooms Denver turned in more than enough signatures to qualify the measure for the ballot this May.The group of backers, Decriminalize Denver, said it had submitted more than 9,000 signatures to the Denver County Board of Elections. Of those, at least 4,726 signatures must be valid to qualify the measure which is called the Denver Psilocybin Mushroom Decriminalization Initiative.Voters could make Denver the first city in the country to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms.While there are plenty of people who would be happy to see this happen, others believe it's a long, strange trip the Mile High City can't afford to take.This is uncharted territory. So, Denver7 is going 360 to explore it.Kevin Matthews is the man who has high hopes of taking the measure to the May ballot.“Denver has a strong history of drug policy reform," Matthews said. “The timing is right, and we’ve modeled our language on this initiative after cannabis legislation in 2005 and 2007.”Matthews says shrooms have helped him break his own cycle of depression. "Mushrooms have enabled me to look outside the box that depression creates," he said. “We’re working to keep people out of prison for non-violent drug offenses. A drug that has proven medical value and is non-addictive.”But Jeff Hunt adamantly disagrees."This is a psychedelic drug where you're typically going to go into some type of trip that could last three to six hours,” said Hunt, vice president of public policy for Colorado Christian University and director of the think tank The Centennial Institute.Hunt wonders how far it will all go. First it was weed, then supervised injection sites for heroin and opioid addicts and now decriminalizing psychedelic shrooms."It's a terrible idea,” Hunt said. “Denver is quickly becoming the illicit drug capital of the world. The truth is we have no idea what the long-term health effects of these drugs are going to do to the people of Colorado."While the Denver Chamber of Commerce and the Downtown Denver Partnership have taken no position on the issue yet, Hunt sees a definite economic downside."At a certain point, parents are going to look at the city of Denver and say, 'I don't want to take my kids to that city,'" Hunt said. “And I don't think tourists are going to want to come to this state."In a statement, the Downtown Denver Partnership said, “At this time, the Downtown Denver Partnership has not convened our Board to review this proposed initiative and determine whether or not we will take an opinion.”The matrix gets even more complex with patients like Chris who has end-stage spinal and brain tumors."The mushrooms seem to have calmed them better than any drugs that they've been able to give me,” Chris said. He asked us not to use his last name. “I'm not saying it's a panacea, or that it's for everyone. I just want to be comfortable."And still, others argue shrooms are less habit-forming than opioids or other drugs."We need to see the therapeutic benefits that are there," said signature gatherer Hope Mellinger. “And create an environment where people can talk about set, setting and dose."Those 9,000 signatures are now under review, as the future of fungus fuels a fiery debate."It is a medicine," argued Matthews. “Right now, individuals are facing jail time, or could lose their jobs and their families. Frankly, that’s absurd for a substance that has proven to be non-addictive, non-habit forming and non-violent.”Hunt argued the studies on the drug are inconclusive at best.“Let’s slow down,” Hunt said. “Let’s do the research. We have a process in this country that’s called the FDA that looks at this. And if it concludes it’s beneficial, by all means – let’s get behind it. I'm concerned we're going in the wrong direction - rather than really encouraging people to lead healthy and productive lives." 4086
