I arrived with my parents and younger brother in 1995, when I was eight years old.

I am the daughter of immigrants and I have grown up in a community

surrounded by immigrants from different countries.

I'm an immigrant from the Philippines. I came to the United States almost fourteen years ago.

I am a DACA recipient.

I'm an immigrant. I'm a really proud immigrant. I came to this country

when I was not quite ten, from England.

I came to California when I was 17 years old.

I was born in the city of Beirut in the country called Lebanon to parents

who are Syrian origin.

I came to the States in 1997. My grandparents raised me.

And they wanted to come to America to get me a better opportunity and a better place to grow up in.

The one word that I think would really symbolize my

trajectory is what I call the undocu-hustle. For all of us who come to this

country as undocumented individuals looking for a better life we have to

hustle through anything nothing is given to us many opportunities are simply not

available to us creating good immigration policy in California is also

good politics it's also good economics thankfully I was able to be granted

financial aid through the California Dream Act so I could attend school which

was to me was a blessing because the DREAM Act came into effect as soon as I

got out of high school it's just an absolute fact that our economy would be

doing much much worse if we didn't have the infusion of energy from immigrants

even though there are forces out there that continue to resist to acknowledge

our existence within our society I know that there are also well intended people

ahran office and who are gonna help us change the landscape of our community in

the state of California and nationally I've seen California do a lot for my

family and for my community I know that there's a lot of efforts coming from the

government working towards helping ensure that the transitions into this

country and the protections in this country are available it's very scary to

wake up one morning and realize that your parents aren't gonna be there

anymore just because they tried their best to come to this country in order to

provide for their kids a better future undocumented immigrants are more than

just a number you know we shouldn't have to fight for you know human dignity and

respect every single day know that we tried to drive in the land we call home

and so for me like I really urge you know everyone to consider the humanity

of undocumented immigrants and to really uplift their narratives there's a reason

why we the California is this way because we have chosen inclusionary

policies rather than exclusionary policies and we have chosen to look at

migration as a positive thing rather than

good thing California would not be leading the nation in terms of growth

and hopefully more equitable growth if it weren't for the fact that we are made

up of immigrants in this state our own safety our own security our own

prosperity depends on elevating everyone everyone status everyone's level of

security level of growth education economy this is my my hope that we can

come together as human beings as Californians and make sure we uplift one

another inspire one another I truly believe we have a calling we have a

mission we have a mandate not only to make our state better our country better

but I think and I hope we will be the hope for the rest of the world too we

have the ability to create our own opportunities we have the ability to

start our own businesses we have the ability to earn a living as independent

contractors without having to take anything from anybody instead through

entrepreneurship through our creativity through our innovation we're actually

able to really give back and even hire US citizens we're not giving up on this

fight even with the administration that we currently have even with the push

backs we're still not giving up we're out there in the streets protesting

we're out in the Capitol advocating and lobbying and doing all kinds of

different things to make sure that our public officials are being held to the

highest standards to reflect the communities here in California

which are primarily immigrant communities California is very dear to

me California is the state of opportunities

[Music] Everybody eats everyday. It is an essential part of being a living creature

and we don't know where our food is coming from.

We don't know what's happening to it.

Drying up California is in its worst drought in decades...

In Vermont the torrential waters cut off a dozen towns the National Guard is

delivering food and water...

The wholesale price of avocados is up 125 percent...

A drought - the worst in living memory has struck Brazil's coffee belt...

And what you could do to help...

Our cost of water has gone up tremendously in the last 10 years.

We know for our plants need and it's going to be water.

We built the Alaskan pipeline to pipe fuel over to us

but at what point do we do all with water?

Actually not to be dramatic but it feels depraved.

The choices we make in a corporate and governmental level we are making a

choice that is ultimately going to starve us

California bill on police deadly force advances - Duration: 0:42.

Some California lawmakers are looking to change the standard

for when police officers can use deadly force. According to The

Sacramento Bee, Assembly Bill 931 — also known as the Police

Accountability and Community Protection Act — passed its

first policy committee Tuesday. The outlet says, if the bill

becomes law, the new legislation would change the state's use of

lethal force standard from "reasonable" to "necessary."

Assemblymember Shirley Weber first introduced the bill in

April, saying it's time to update the state's "reasonable

force standard." But law enforcement organizations aren't

on the same page about the legislation. They argue it could

put officers and the public in danger.

California's Punishment Economy • BRAVE NEW FILMS - Duration: 3:07.

Pristine, glittering beaches,

canyon-hiking repavement,

ban on single-use plastic bags

dedicated bike lanes,

expanding healthcare access –

reasonable expenses for California taxpayers.

Yet, the reality is

Californians are being choked out of $20 billion per year to punish people.

As we enjoy the beautiful symbols of the California Dream,

few Californians realize $20 billion of their taxpayer dollars are

dedicated to inhumanely punishing people.

The state of California has one of the

largest and most expensive prison systems in the entire world.

That 20 billion is not being used to create a community with prevention and

rehabilitative services. Instead, it's to incarcerate more and more people –

primarily poor people of color, which is not making us any safer.

Even though California's crime rates are at historic lows, the price of the punishment economy

continues to skyrocket.

Punishment is harmful, ineffective and expensive.

The system is monetizing every facet of an individual entering into this system.

Youth prisons, jails, probation, adult prisons, prosecutors and public defenders

all make up the state and county's punishment economy.

It costs $200 for the

LA County Sheriff's Department to bus transfer individuals between prisons.

Would you pay $200 for a bus ride?

$400 a day is spent to lock up one child in a youth prison.

We could instead spend only $75 a day enrolling each student into a

community-based support program.

$76,000 is the average

amount spent on one incarcerated person per year in California.

$76,000 is also the estimated cost to cover one child's entire public

university education.

Over 30 years, money dedicated toward prisons and jails has skyrocketed more

than three times compared to the increase in money allocated to schools

and education. On any given day, we are spending millions of dollars to punish

over half a million people.

With that, we could give weekly counseling sessions to

every person inside prison for over 10 years.

We, Californians, are supporting a prison system,

wasting taxpayer dollars and allocating them to punish, rather than prevent.

When you have a $20 billion budget, would you spend it on

hurting people or helping people?

Imagine the possibilities.

Star Route Farm - Bolinas, California - Duration: 2:30.

The last time we were here

there was something you had planted but I didn't see what was planted.

And all of a sudden, 5 weeks later, what kind of difference did you see?

Well, you can see some pretty good growth here

especially in our dino kale

you can see over here.

The broccoli... we have a few things on this field.

There's some gunsho choy sum over there

that have been harvested and sorta flower out, and celtuce.

I've seen some pretty good growth on this field

Did 2 applications of the LALITHA

and everything seems to be growing pretty well.

Wouldn't you say?

Yeah, I am really impressed with the growth and the healthiness.

In terms of the healthiness of the plants, have you noticed any difference?

I always try to look for like holes and the...

Yeah, we haven't had hardly any pest problem here that I can see,

just a little bit here and there

but everything looks pretty healthy.

Especially this broccoli, nice and full, thick leaves.

Yeah, everything seems to be going well.

From your previous experience, did you have pest issues?

Well, we were having a little bit of a pest issue with this dino kale last year.

We were having some aphids getting in there.

But as you can see, it is looking pretty healthy righ now.

We also used another field but still it seems to be going pretty good.

This is really really nice.

So when will the field be ready for harvesting?

We are starting to harvest the dino kale.

The broccoli has got a little bit longer to go but it's getting there.

And like I said, we are harvesting that choy sum.

That's a quick crop.

Yeah, it's all soon here.

This is great.

Is there any other recommendation? What do you think?

What's your next move in terms of using LALITHA 21?

I'll try it on some of our direct seeded crops like the lettuces.

All these were transplanted

except this dino kale, I don't think it was,

but the broccoli and everything else was.

Except for the choy sum. That was direct seeded too.

But I'd like to try it on our lettuces and see how they react to that.

California rethinking standard on police use of deadly force - Duration: 3:48.

California rethinking standard on police use of deadly force

California is seeking to change the standard when police officers can use deadly force under new legislation that cleared its first hurdle Tuesday.

Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a San Diego Democrat, introduced the new measure, saying now is the time to amend a "reasonable force standard" that hasn't been updated in the state since 1872.

It must be guided by the goals of safeguarding human life, she said during a Statehouse debate in Sacramento.

A state Senate committee advanced a plan that would let police officers open fire only in situations of imminent and serious injury or possible death to the officer or another person.

This would change the existing standard of "reasonable fear" where police can use the deadly force if the officers believe they have reason to fear for their safety.

The new legislation comes amid criticism that police officers have rarely faced consequences for shooting someone for disputed reasons.

California is still reeling from the March 18 killing of Stephon Clark, who was shot by Sacramento police after officers mistook his cellphone for a handgun.

But pro-law enforcement groups are arguing that the new standard could have a detrimental impact on the officers' ability to ensure public safety as it may make them hesitant to approach suspects out of fear of being unable to defend themselves.

David Mastagni, a lobbyist for the California Peace Officers Association, said the proposed language in the bill creates a hindsight, second-guessing game that puts not only the officers at danger but puts the public at danger as well.

Randy Perry, who represents several rank-and-file police unions that include 90,000 officers, called it a radical departure from criminal and constitutional law.

Democrats on the committee admitted that law enforcement officers face difficulties and danger on the job, but insisted the proposed initiative would make everyone safe as it would promote de-escalation and foster trust between police and minorities in the state.

It always blows me away when law enforcement only fear for their life only when theyre facing black and brown people, said state Sen. We dont have a problem with law enforcement, weve got a problem with racism..

Jeff Stone, R-Temecula, was the only state lawmaker who spoke out against the proposed changes, echoing the claims made by pro-police groups about officers becoming less likely to respond to calls for help.

Still, most lawmakers agreed that the standard of the police use of force should be amended in a bid to protect the public safety.

We all agree that we dont want to put police officers in harms way, but we also dont want to put the public in harms way, state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, said. The measure now heads to another committee.

Tamera Mowry-Housley isn't just an actress, mom and talk show host — she also has a "great nose

" The star of The Real, 40, and her husband, Fox News senior correspondent Adam Housley, 45, show off their California wine country home in the current issue of Wine Spectator, and reveal Mowry-Housley's hidden talent for identifying a great glass of vino

RELATED: Gisele Bündchen Gives a Tour of Her and Tom Brady's Rarely-Seen Boston Home "She tells this story all the time, how she has a great nose for wine," says Housley, recounting his wife's great compliment from a sommelier leading a class the couple attended

 "I said, 'It's all the practice,'" he jokes. Her husband is a native of Yountville, in Napa Valley, where they were married in 2011, and comes from a family of wine experts

In fact, the couple co-owns a vineyard and winery with his parents, brother and his brother's wife called Housley's Century Oak Winery

Elizabeth Holmes, fondatrice di Theranos, incriminata per truffa in California - Duration: 3:17.

 La startup californiana Theranos, fondata nei primi anni duemila, prometteva di rivoluzionare le analisi del sangue, ma è andata in ben altro modo e la sua fondatrice Elizabeth Holmes, che era stata addirittura paragonata a Steve Jobs per l'innovazione che dichiarava di poter mettere in atto nel campo delle biotecnologie, è stata incriminata per truffa: rischia fino a vent'anni di carcere e pesantissime multe

Insieme a lei è stato incriminato anche il suo braccio destro, nonché presidente della società, il 53enne Balwani Ramesh

L'azienda della Holmes avrebbe dovuto segnare l'ennesimo grande successo della Silicon Valley [VIDEO], sta invece mettendo a nudo il lato più oscuro del settore hi-tech statunitense e facendo vacillare la fiducia degli investitori che pompano capitale nel nuovo eldorado tecnologico, con lo scopo di trasformare l'innovazione in oro

  La Theranos sosteneva che bastasse una goccia di sangue per effettuare centinaia di test  La Holmes, 34 anni, è stata condannata per truffa ai danni di investitori, medici e pazienti, per averli convinti che sarebbe bastata una semplice goccia di sangue per fare numerosi test

Era falso e a sentenziarlo, incriminando la Holmes e il suo braccio destro, è stata la Corte distrettuale di San Jose, in California

La startup Theranos era stata lanciata nel 2003, quando la Homes aveva appena 19 anni ed era la perfetta icona della startupper: giovane, rampante e visionaria

L'azienda prometteva diagnosi più veloci e analisi meno costose rispetto ai tradizionali laboratori, grazie a metodi presentati come rivoluzionari, attraverso cui sarebbero stati possibili con un piccolissima quantità di sangue quasi duecento test, tra cui quelli tumorali

  Elisabeth Holmes ha fuorviato medici e pazienti, dubbi già dal 2015  In realtà, secondo quanto determinato nel corso del procedimento giudiziario, l'attività della Theranos si fondava in gran parte su menzogne e poter eseguire i test promessi dalla Holmes con una semplice puntura del dito era una chimera presentata agli investitori come una nuova frontiera delle biotecnologie [VIDEO]: "Questa cospirazione ha fuorviato medici e pazienti sull'affidabilità di test medici che mettevano in pericolo la salute e la vita di chi si sottoponeva ai medesimi", ha dichiarato John F

Bennett del Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).  Già nel 2015 molti articoli, in particolare pubblicati dal Wall Street Journal, avevano cominciato a sollevare dei dubbi sull'affidabilità della tecnologia proposta dalla Theranos, problemi che erano stati nascosti agli investitori dall'azienda

La truffa mesa in atto dalla Holmes e da Ramesh ha un valore di svariati milioni di dollari e l'incriminazione arriva a circa tre mesi di distanza da quando gli enti regolatori statunitensi hanno accusato la Holmes si aver mentito sulle capacità dei test effettuati dalla sua azienda

Blue whale found on California coast died from ship strike, scientists say - Duration: 4:13.

Blue whale found on California coast died from ship strike, scientists say

A 62-foot blue whale carcass that washed ashore north of San Francisco on Monday died from a ship strike, the Marine Mammal Center said Tuesday.

The juvenile female blue whale died of "blunt force trauma consistent with vessel collision," the nonprofit organization said in a statement.

"Blue whales are the largest animal on Earth and an endangered species, so to learn that this individual's death is a result of a ship strike is particularly unfortunate," said Barbie Halaska, a Marine Mammal Center researcher, told the Bay Areas KTVU2 FOX.

Human-caused ship strikes and fishing gear entanglements are "primary threats" to blue whales -- an endangered species -- and the leading cause of non-natural whale mortality, according to the center.

"Blue whales are the largest animal on Earth and an endangered species, so to learn that this individual's death is a result of a ship strike is particularly unfortunate.

A team of 19 scientists performed a necropsy on the blue whale and discovered multiple broken vertebrae and severe tissue hemorrhaging along the whale's back, the Marin Independent Journal reported.

Upon closer inspection, scientists also found a severed spine and bruising to the ribs and lower jaw, the report said. This is the 10th blue whale that the center has responded to in its 43-year history, the center's statement said.

It was also the eighth whale of all kinds for the center this year, the Journal reported. The blue whale was found decaying with its stomach "extremely bloated" as seagulls foraged through its remains, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Its carcass was discovered at the south of Limantour Beach in Point Reyes National Seashore, around 50 miles northwest of San Francisco.

Scientists from the Marine Mammal Center, California Academy of Sciences, Point Reyes National Seashore and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration participated in the necropsy, the Journal reported.

"Understanding and documenting the extent of the injuries through a necropsy allows us to share this information with decision-makers to help find solutions to prevent these incidents in the future," Halaska said.

Blue whales, the largest animals on earth, usually grow between 80 and 100 feet long and are often found in groups, LiveScience reported. But this whale was isolated, which could explain the ship strike.

On Saturday, a whale watching group near the Farallon Islands, about 27 miles off San Francisco, saw a dead and decaying blue whale floating on the water, the Chronicle reported.

It could have drifted for miles, so its a matter of re-sighting it, Bill Keener with Golden Gate Cetacean Research, told the paper. About 2,800 blue whales, an endangered species, live off the coast of California, according to the mammal center.

Earlier this month, a blue whale turned up in the Red Sea, LiveScience reported. In February, a 66-foot-long blue whale carcass was found along the coast of Chile desecrated with graffiti and stomped on by tourists, Fox News had reported.
