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

While in jail awaiting trial, Jeffrey Epstein was served with legal papers in connection with a pending lawsuit filed by a woman who says Epstein raped her when she was 15 years old, court documents show.Deputy Sheriff Qin Zhang personally delivered the legal documents to Epstein, the multimillionaire financier accused of sex trafficking, on July 22 at 150 Park Row, the address for the Manhattan Correctional Center where Epstein is being held, the records show.The papers -- a verified petition, order to show cause, exhibits and supporting documents -- relate to allegations by Jennifer Araoz, who has accused Epstein of sexual assault, sexual battery and rape. Araoz first spoke out about the case this month in an interview with NBC's "Today" show.The legal documents were served a day before Epstein was found in his Manhattan jail cell with marks on his neck, sources told CNN. It was not clear to jail officials if the injuries were self-inflicted or the result of an assault, a law enforcement source said.Araoz's complaint against Epstein -- delivered as a draft -- cannot be filed until mid-August, when New York's Child Victims Act, which has ramifications for Epstein's case, goes into effect.The law expands the statute of limitations in child sex abuse cases to give survivors more time to seek criminal charges and to sue their abusers. Starting August 14, adult survivors of child sexual abuse will have one year to sue an abuser or a negligent institution for offenses in New York, no matter how long ago the abuse took place.Epstein is being held without bail pending his trial on charges of conspiracy and sex trafficking of minors. He has pleaded not guilty.The 66-year-old allegedly paid girls as young as 14 to have sex with him at his Manhattan home and his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, between 2002 and 2005. Federal prosecutors say he used employees and associates to lure the girls to his residences, and he allegedly paid some of his victims to recruit other girls for him to abuse.Epstein faced similar accusations in Florida, but his high-powered legal team negotiated a plea deal in 2007 with federal prosecutors in Miami in which he avoided federal charges and pleaded guilty to lesser state prostitution charges.Epstein's attorneys did not respond to a request for comment Tuesday regarding the Araoz petition.The 'Recruiter,' the 'Secretary' and the 'Maid'Araoz claims Epstein repeatedly committed sexual assault and battery on her when she was 14 and 15 years old, including forcibly raping her, the verified petition states.The document seeks the deposition of Epstein in part to identify another potential defendant in the case -- the "Recruiter" -- who conspired with Epstein to identify Araoz as a potential sexual abuse victim and facilitated her "grooming" to be sexually assaulted by Epstein, it states. It also asks the judge to require Epstein to produce records identifying his employees between 2000 and 2003 and logs of everyone who entered or exited his New York City home during that period.A draft complaint targets Epstein, as well as unidentified women called the "Recruiter," the "Secretary" and the "Maid," whom it dubs Jane Does 1, 2 and 3.In the draft complaint, Araoz states she was recruited in New York by a woman who appeared to work for Epstein when she was a 14-year-old high school freshman. Araoz would visit Epstein's home, after which he would direct his secretary to give her 0, the draft complaint states.She later started giving him massages wearing only her underwear, the draft complaint says. Those encounters in Epstein's Manhattan mansion grew more sexual in nature, with Epstein masturbating at the end of the massage, according to the draft complaint.After about a year, when Araoz was 15, Epstein forcibly raped her without a condom, the document states."Araoz was petrified, felt trapped and didn't know what to do, so she just did as she was told," the draft complaint states. "Epstein held her tightly and forcibly raped her."Araoz explained further her thoughts at the time in her interview with NBC."I thought it was my fault, I thought I was obligated. I didn't know better," Araoz told NBC.Araoz never went back to Epstein's home after that and only told a few people close to her about the incident, she said. She refused to go back to her high school, which was just blocks from Epstein's home, and transferred to a school in Queens to avoid contact with him and the recruiter, the draft complaint says.The draft complaint also describes some of the contents of Epstein's Upper East Side mansion, including a trophy room of taxidermied animals."The room had marble floors with extremely high ceilings, mahogany wood with deep reds, and was filled with exotic, even endangered animals, including a giraffe and other rare specimens," the document states. "There were skins covering parts of the floor with more exotic animals." 4930

When Amy Anderson and her son walked into George Washington High School years ago they felt a gut-wrenching reaction, coming face to face with a larger than life mural depicting images of slavery and dead Native Americans.Tuesday evening, after decades of debate and outcry, the San Francisco Unified School District unanimously voted to cover up this 1936-era fresco, "Life of Washington."A fight started in the 1960sThe mural was commissioned by the US Government in 1936 under a New Deal art program and painted by well-known muralist Victor Arnautoff.During the Civil Rights Movement in the late 1960's, members of school's Black Student Union called for the removal of the mural.Instead of removing the mural then, the District hired black artist Dewey Crumpler to paint a "response mural," showing Native Americans and African Americans in a more positive light.Three years ago, the call for removal was reignited when Anderson's son Kai decided to enroll at Washington High.A Native American student at Washington HighAnderson and her son are Native American. Kai told his mom he would walk into school with his head down everyday so he would not have to see the murals on the wall."They (Native students) actually see themselves and their ancestors up there on those walls and they feel pain," said Anderson.In late fall of 2018, Anderson and fellow indigenous activist Mariposa Villaluna drafted a resolution to send to Mark Sanchez, a school board commissioner. The move resulted in the creation of the district's Reflection and Action Committee to decide what to do about the "Life of Washington" mural.In February, the committee recommended to the school board that the mural should be covered in white paint before the start of the 2019 school year.At odds with school valuesThe committee argued that the mural did not live up to the district's student-centered focus and did not represent its values of social justice, diversity, and unity. It added that the mural glorified slavery, genocide, and oppression.At Tuesday evening's school board meeting, those in favor of keeping the mural argued the that artist intended to provoke thoughtful discussions about oppression and that the mural could be used as a teaching tool for future generations.Villaluna said the school can find ways to teach these issues without students having to pass by the mural each morning."The students thought this would be good as a lesson but not something we walk by every day," said Villaluna.According to the 2517
