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

Two rural town school districts in the United States were shut down early for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend due to a fast-spreading stomach virus causing an abnormally high number of absences.Mesa County Valley School District officials in Grand Junction, Colorado, closed the school district to decontaminate November 20, the Wednesday before the week of Thanksgiving. A high number of students were increasingly calling out sick due to an illness going around. “Before the school district shut down, we were aware of at least 13 schools within (Mesa County Valley) School District 51 that had increased absenteeism levels due to illness and that number was growing,” district officials said on a Facebook live video, addressing the problem. “What we’re suspecting at this time is it’s very much acting like a norovirus.”On November 25, Greater Albany Public Schools in Albany, Oregon, announced a district-wide closure for similar reasons — norovirus was going around causing high levels of absences.“It spreads really like wildfire through a community,” said Dr. Chris Nyquist, the medical director of infection prevention and control at Children’s Hospital Colorado. “I think norovirus is one of those viruses that comes up in wintertime often when you have small communities, thinking about schools, where a lot of kids are together. It’s very contagious, spreads quickly.”Norovirus symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea and nausea that can last days.“The best method that these schools have done, in conjunction with talking to their health department, is to really shut down and do extensive cleaning,” Nyquist said.Norovirus can transfer easily through close contact, and symptoms start as soon as two hours later. In small communities like Grand Junction or Albany, an outbreak like this can have a large impact.“The thing that’s really special and unique about rural Colorado is that schools are often time the hub of the community,” said Elaine Belansky, the executive director for the Center for Rural Health and Education at the University of Denver. “They don’t have that many boots on the ground to address big challenges like this.”But those communities are doing what they can to stop illness from spreading just as the holidays begin. Mesa County Valley School District posted a video of the decontamination process in one of their classrooms to Facebook to show the efforts being done.As for prevention, Nyquist said the best thing to do is to wash your hands with soap and water. 2512

Proceeds from the event fund the WHCA’s operating expenses and go toward scholarships and awards aimed at promoting aspiring journalists and recognizing excellence in the journalism profession.President Donald Trump has skipped the dinner throughout his presidency and instead has elected to hold campaign rallies.

White supremacist mass murderer Dylann Roof staged a hunger strike this month while on federal death row, alleging in letters to The Associated Press that he’s been verbally harassed and abused without cause” and “treated disproportionately harsh." The 25-year-old Roof killed nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015. He told the AP that staff at a federal prison in Indiana feel justified in their conduct “since I am hated by the general public.” A person familiar with the matter would say only that Roof had been on a hunger strike but is no longer on one. 598
