Question 2:How many different whole numbers, less than 10,000 can be made from the set of digits [2, 4, 6, 8]? (HINT: It is okay to use a digit more than once in a number).

Los Angeles is one of the favored hubs for technology startups, not simply because of investors, but be-cause the City thrives

on technology.

Being one of the biggest economies in the nation, businesses and various industries enjoy some of the highest collection of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods whether in the fashion industry, entertainment, engineering, or services like banking, healthcare, or retail.

The City has some of the best tech-nology institutions in the world, staffed by some of the best educators, and ad-mitting some of the best students from around the world; and, training them to be web and mobile application de-velopers, information technology strat-egists, designers, web project man-agers, digital executives, marketers, branders, and thought leaders. They always inspire businesses with their lat-est improvements in internet mobile, adtech, and martech. Such improve-ments make available to companies here, a wealth of information, insights, and new ideas to fuel production, ser-vices, and profitability. Up and coming

THE CITY’S LOVE FOR TECHergy, media, and financial services, Angelenos who are tech-savvy will always find employment within the City.

The City’s technology know-how advantage can be traced, in part, to its willingness to implement the STEM (Science, Technology, Engi-neering, and Mathematic) Program in its educational curriculum and life skills development of its children. The Next Generation Science Stan-dards promotes, vigorously, hands-on learning and broadens the appeal of science education to all children from all backgrounds. Computer coding is taught to children, not only at school, but also by many organiza-tions like UCode and KidsCanCode. Children in kindergarten are learning to code, creating apps, websites, games, and robotics at their coding campuses in Hermosa Beach, Tor-rance, and Beverly Hills. And many adults also know how to navigate and operate computers and use them to find solutions to myriad of issues--be it financial, business, or creating gaming applications. Most are familiar with specifications of CPU, RAM, Windows, Mac OS, and Linus operating systems, and even programming in C/C++, Java, Py-thon, and many others.

The City’s advantage in technol-ogy is also enhanced by the men-toring of its youth by highly visible organizations like the Columbia Me-

companies like ServiceTitan, Inc., Procore Technologies, System1, Cameo, The Black Tux, and Leaf Group, among others, always em-ploy the best software engineers to help them with their processes and productions.

Angelenos of all ages are enjoy-ing this period of unprecedented technological advancement, com-puting power and innovation, and

utilizing their knowledge in their per-sonal undertakings, education, and professional lives. Their know-how and accessibility to the best of informa-tion technology give them advantage in the highly competitive technological job market--not only within the City but also throughout the nation and beyond.

You may be happy with your honey, but the happiest of couples can argue over money.

Financial issues are one of the most cited causes of conflicts in a marriage, and financial problems, including debt and disagreement about money man-agement, are among the top issues in divorce as well.

Merging your life, including your fi-nancial life, with someone else’s can be challenging, but setting up a solid financial plan early in marriage can help preserve harmony and nip money con-flicts in the bud. Data from Ameriprise Financial show that at least one-third of couples disagree about money at least once a month on topics including sav-ings and discretionary spending.

Fortunately, today’s technology of-fers new options to help couples navi-gate shared and individual finances. More American couples now maintain separate bank accounts instead of, or in addition to, joint accounts, and the latest banking apps offer flexibility, security, and ease of use. MovoCash is one example of a digital payment card platform that offers consumers with a variety of financial life hacks as alternatives to traditional banking ser-vices. Anyone in the U.S. can open an FDIC-insured MOVO card account that is easy to use and doesn’t require gold-plated credit.

MOVO’s easy design offers a simple financial strategy for couples: each partner can open a separate account

for immediate spending needs and personal discretionary purchases, and the couple also can maintain a joint account for major expenses such as savings, bills, and home ex-penses. Purchases and payments can be made quickly and directly from a phone.

With all the talk about smart tech-nology and connected homes, you may be wondering why you should take notice. After all, it is not that dif-ficult or inconvenient to turn your lights on and off.

According to the American Lighting Association (ALA), smart technology is not just about convenience. It is not even just about lighting. It is also about energy efficiency and safety.

Efficiency Smart technology allows you to

connect your home’s electronic de-vices to one device, such as a phone, tablet or computer. Having a connect-ed home means you have the ability to adjust your thermostat, open and close window shades, and activate your security system remotely, or pro-gram those devices to operate auto-matically at pre-set times.

Safety Efficiency is important, but safety

is paramount. With the ability to con-nect to your home’s devices from any-where in the world comes the peace of

est technology for home environment automation. Go online to DesignVideos.Lighting to view a video from Lutron as well as lighting-trends videos from other ALA-member lighting manufacturers. Find more about all things lighting at www.AmericanLightingAssoc.com.Source: www.NewsUSA.comDJE

mind of not wondering if your secu-rity system is activated and knowing your outside and inside lights will be on before you arrive home after dark.

Convenience Home automation apps make it

a snap to change your room into the perfect setting for different activities. For example, for movie night, a sys-tem like Lutron’s Caseta Wireless can be pre-programmed to adjust all the lights in your family room to set the scene for a great movie-watching experience.

If installing and operating smart technology equipment sounds com-plicated and expensive, it’s not. Ac-cording to the ALA, there are some simple and surprisingly inexpensive options available on today’s market.

A number of ALA-member manu-facturers, including Legrand, Lu-tron Electronics, Philips and Acuity Brands Lighting offer reasonably priced, easy-to-install automation products designed to make your home more comfortable, convenient

and safe. In many cases, it just takes simple retrofitting of an exist-ing dimmer switch.

Erik Anderson, national sales manager for Lutron Electronics, explains that the Caseta Wireless is very retrofittable into existing homes. “All you have to do is take your existing dimmer or switch out of the wall and replace it with a Caseta dimmer or switch, add a smart bridge and you have the abil-ity to control it from an app, or from voice control with Alexa, Google Assistant or Siri,” says Anderson.

For added ease, Lutron’s Case-ta Wireless system can be integrat-ed with Apple, Amazon or Google platforms for use inside your home. And when you are outside, an app or geofenc-ing allows you to adjust your inside and/or outside lights, even before you arrive home. That will make your home wel-coming to you and your guests.

Summer is here again, and most of us are planning our vacations to visit exotic places to historic sites, famous places, indulge in the tasting of foreign foods, and experiencing new cultures, or simply sailing the ocean blue. Some, too, are staying local to enjoy the en-tertainment scene and many festivals our City is famous for--whether at the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Hollywood Palladium, Music Center, and Holly-wood Bowl, or visit some of our famous theme parks like Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Magic Mountain--with their festive celebrations so favored by the young family members.

But another trend catching on with senior adults is going back to summer camp. There are summer camps for adults, designed to allow them to relive their childhood fun days, exploring their adventurous spirits, helping them stay active, and participate in many camp activities. Most of the camps have

nardino, and Camp ArtSeen in Northern California. Over 400 camps of the 2400 camps, affiliated with the American Camp Association, provide facilities for adult-only programs all throughout the country. Other organizations, including churches, run their Elder Camps along-side their children’s camp, allowing the adults to relive their fun time memories as they share experiences with the younger ones, and also explore new ac-tivities.

So, try a summer camp this year, and see how you love and enjoy their activities.

many land and water sports, and arts and crafts. Other camps attract attend-ees willing to learn collaboration and innovation within a creative group, with well-organized workshops featuring a panel of business leaders, experts, and entrepreneurs who give presentations on how to start new ventures, manage finance, and also on healthcare. Oth-ers simply love the art classes or simply love to sit and chat by the campfire or make new acquaintances.

Most of the camps have comfort-able lodgings (some even with heated lodgings--with bathrooms), and provide clean linens all the time, where one can enjoy delicious meals. The camp could be for a long weekend, a week, or even many weeks of relaxation and fun activi-ties. Some have open bars and nightly themed parties. All the camps have their governing rules, and most of them do not allow technology (screens, wear-ables, or digital cameras). Others do

not allow networking, pets, kids, drugs, or alcohol, but encourage creative writ-ing with typewriters, charcoal drawing, pinhole photography, tai chi, and silent dinner. No matter the rules, they always make the summer camps fun and enter-taining.

l Think before clicking. When faced with an urgent request--like emails asking for money--think before click-ing or get a second opinion. Click-ing on links is often how scammers get personal information. When in doubt, trash an unusual message.

l Share with care. More than half (51 percent) of seniors surveyed by Home Instead use social media to stay connected. Use care when sharing personal information, adjust privacy settings to limit who can see your information, and turn off loca-tion sharing.

l Use security software. Install anti-virus and anti-spyware software and program it to run regularly. And, be wary of pop-up ads or emails, many of which contain malware that can infect computers.

l Log out. Log out of apps and web-sites when you are finished. Leaving apps and websites open on com-puter screens could make you vul-nerable to security and privacy risks.

Protecting Seniors Online from Scams, Hacks and Tax Fraud

The vast majority of seniors today are using the Internet, at least once a week to check email, pay bills online and keep in touch via social media. But all that time online puts them at risk for scams and hacks, such as tax fraud.

In fact, a new survey by Home In-stead, Inc., franchisor of the Home In-stead Senior Care network, found that 67 percent of surveyed senior adults, have been the victim of an online scam or hack.

Encouraging seniors to practice cy-ber security can go a long way toward protecting their identity and sensitive financial information. Home Instead col-laborated with the National Cyber Se-curity Alliance to create Protect Seniors Online, available at www.ProtectSenior-sOnline.com, a free resource that edu-cates older adults about cybersecurity. Here, seniors can test their cybersecu-rity skills with the “Can You Spot an On-line Scam?” quiz.

Senior adults can take the following steps, now, to protect themselves on-line:l Password protect and secure de-

vices, accounts. Lock all devices (including computers, tablets and

If you find it challenging to under-stand the convoluted and sometimes conflicting information regarding your healthcare, you’re not alone.

Because the U.S. healthcare system is so complex, it can be a struggle for patients and even doctors to have clear, transparent information about the costs of medications and how they are cov-ered by insurance.

Technological solutions have made a difference, helping to bring transpar-ency and helping patients gain control of their care in a variety of ways.

Technology gives doctors access. For example, technology has helped give doctors information on the costs of the thousands of drugs they prescribe. Given the many different insurance plans that cover their patients, with each charging different amounts for these medications, it had been frustrat-ing for patients trying to take personal and financial ownership of their health, and for the doctors trying to help them.

More than 85 percent of physicians now use electronic health record (EHR) technology, which makes it possible to utilize new tools and digital platforms that provide your doctor drug and plan coverage information, right in the exam room, as well as options for lower-cost alternative medications. This helps guar-antee that you’re getting the right medi-cation at the best price, as well as know in advance if the medication requires Prior Authorization (PA). This avoids the frustration of going to fill your prescrip-tion at the pharmacy, only to learn that it’s either not covered, or needs a PA.

Wearable devices aid transparency: The availability and popularity of health and wellness tech tools has also ex-ploded in recent years, with wearable devices and apps providing personal-ized health information, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep pat-terns, as well as medication, hydration, and exercise reminders.

Tech Tools That Can Help You Cut Your Healthcare Costs

“High-tech tools give doctors trans-parency into a patient’s prescription plan, allowing them to better monitor their patients’ conditions and make better treatment decisions, while also enabling patients to be much more knowledgeable about their health and more engaged in what they need to do to stay healthy,” said Dr. Lynne Nowak, Chief Physician Experience Officer at Express Scripts. “Technology can help make healthcare more of a partnership between the patient and the physician.”

Apps offer individualized information: Even when physicians are not using the latest technologies, their patients often have access to personalized treatment information from their smartphones. One such app available through Ex-press Scripts provides individual infor-mation so you can learn about the medi-cations you’re being prescribed and any existing safety issues--whether you need a prior authorization, what the out-of-pocket costs of the treatment will be, which pharmacies offer the best price, and whether there are alternatives or generics available that would cost less.

Using these tech tools can help pa-tients as they discuss options with their doctor, so they can receive a prescrip-tion they can fill at an affordable price.Source: www.Brandpoint.comDJE

El Pueblo | June 2019 Page 6COMMUNITY

These days, home up-grades are increasingly fo-cused on one key feature: connectivity. In 2019, buy-ers want smart homes they can easily control from any-where. From smart HVAC and sprinkler systems to connected garage door openers, it’s all about creat-ing convenience and com-fort.

Here are four examples of smart home improve-ments that add value:

Fully connected security systems

Security systems are nothing new, but the technology used to arm those systems is changing rap-idly. Home security companies now offer fully-connected systems that allow us-ers to protect and monitor their homes from any smart device. Whether it’s a live video feed, the ability to lock and unlock doors remotely or just checking that all sensors are working properly, integrated security systems offer peace of mind. Having the infrastructure in place can be a selling point for buyers who want to make sure their new home is as safe as possible, given they’ll only have to set up the monitoring subscription upon move-in.

Smart garages for convenience and safety

According to Remodeling Magazine’s 2019 Cost vs. Value survey, a garage door replacement is the number one home improvement project--in terms of

4 Smart Home Improvements that Pay Offreturn on investment. However, homeown-ers are taking it a step further and installing new technology to make the garage more user friendly. For ex-ample, the SilentMax Connect garage door opener, from The Ge-nie Company comes with Aladdin Connect technology built in to improve convenience and functionality. Not only is the opener qui-et--ideal for attached garages, but the con-nectivity features al-

low you to check whether your garage door is open or closed, grant individual access with virtual keys, instantly know when someone is operating your garage door (authorized or not), and provide a log of when each opener was used--all from your phone or smart device. You can open the garage door remotely for delivery people, a housekeeper or for your child coming home from school. Considering your garage is one of the most accessed points in your home, this is a useful security feature and proves that garages offer more than just stor-age space. With the right connectivity tools and features, they can provide con-venience that will be attractive to future owners.

Smart thermostats save energy, increase comfort

As home improvement trends go, increased connectivity is rivaled only

by the desire for more energy-efficient homes. Smart thermostats accom-plish both these aims and can increase the value of your home in the process. Smart thermostats let you easily control the temperature in your home from any connected device. You can set a daily schedule for your heater, adjust the tem-perature in individual rooms, or let the system program itself based on your us-age history. For energy-conscious buy-ers, this kind of technology provides a way of living that is as aspirational as it is attainable.

Programmable lighting is a must-have

Smart lighting has turned from a nov-elty to a practical tool as products have advanced. Programmable lighting al-lows you to schedule when your lights will come on, turn lights on and off, remotely, or change the lighting to im-prove aesthetics. With a smart lighting system, you will never have to get out of bed to turn the lights off downstairs, and you can always come home to a fully lit house, boosting your sense of security. With these kinds of applications, your home’s lighting can go from a ‘given’ to a must-have, attracting buyers like a moth to a flame.

New, smart products are hitting the market every day. For homeowners savvy enough to incorporate this tech-nology into their homes, they’ll not only be more connected, but they’ll likely see more offers rolling in when it comes time to sell.Source: www.brandpointcontent.comSHJ

It wasn’t long ago that the idea of a watch that did anything more than tell time was a figment of futuristic fantasy. Now technologies once deemed high-end luxuries for only the wealthy are completely common. Yet, new advances keep spurring even more ideas to im-prove tech devices themselves, and the networks they rely on to deliver unprec-edented connectivity in every aspect of life.

Watch for these tech trends on the rise in the coming year:

tion and convenience of your home are hardly new, they’re becoming increas-ingly sophisticated. Numerous voice as-sistant devices are now available, mean-ing you can take your pick of the features and brands you prefer. All function basi-cally the same, allowing you to verbally control various smart devices through-out your home, as well as check the weather, make grocery lists, play music, and more. In addition, security devices that manage access to your home and provide camera or video visibility when you’re away, and more sophisticated smart devices like kitchen appliances are growing in popularity, too. Almost all these devices simply run over your home Wi-Fi network.

5G connectivityYou’ve likely heard about 3G and 4G,

and maybe even about the latest net-work: 5G, or fifth generation. When 5G replaces 4G, often called LTE, as the fastest cellular connection available, you can expect faster uploads and down-loads along with improved experiences for apps and services.

Unlike previous generations, the 5G experience will be fueled by a combina-tion of technologies. In your home, at the office, at venues, and airports, internet traffic will travel by a mix of other tech-nologies including current and future versions of Wi-Fi. In fact, according to research by Cisco, cellular 5G networks will actually send vast amounts of addi-tional data traffic over commercial Wi-Fi networks that use the same technology as your router, but on a grander scale. However, cellular carriers have to build out different infrastructure to beam 5G signals, so this process may take until 2020 or later.

Wearable technologyThe world of wearable technology

has grown exponentially since the first fitness trackers came on the market a decade or more ago. Now, wearables come in virtually every shape and size, with interchangeable bands, customiz-able screens and more for maximum personalization. More notable, though,

Throughout the years, technology has improved drastically--creating ma-chines and devices that were unimagina-ble 50 years ago. And perhaps the most advanced and interesting of society’s technological advancements is robots--but it is also the most misunderstood.

In fact, according to recent Pew Re-search, more than 70 percent of Ameri-cans express concern about a world in which machines perform many of the tasks done by humans.

Fortunately, there are people who be-lieve humans and robots can coexist and work together in harmony, and are work-ing to debunk many of the fears people have about them.

Mouser Electronics, Inc., a leading semiconductor and electronics compo-nent distributor based in Fort Worth, TX, and celebrity engineer Grant Imahara, have teamed up again for the fourth con-secutive year, for their Empowering Inno-vation Together Program.

This year’s program is called Gen-eration Robot, which features five videos filmed across the world, including in the U.S., Germany and Japan. Mouser’s goal is to reach innovators around the globe by showing how robots have a positive impact on humanity and change how people see the possibility of inter-acting with them.

Throughout the Generation Robot se-ries, the entire spectrum of robotics will be examined, as will the understanding of how robots not only have a technologi-cal impact on society, but also a social and moral one.

The video series begins with the Imahara visiting the Institute for Robot-ics and Intelligent Machines at Georgia Tech, and speaking with the executive director, Dr. Magnus Egerstedt.

There, he explores several aspects of robots, such as the basics of the ma-chines, myths and misconceptions, as well as the hopes for, and fears of, the advancement of robot technology.

In the video, Dr. Egerstedt mentions that robots used to be about mechani-cal engineering, but now modern ro-bots involve psychology, because these machines will be working along with humans and, thus, they need to under-stand people.

The second video, which takes place in Augsburg, Germany, dives into the real meaning of robots and humans working together, as well as the way this interac-tion will benefit society.

The third video, which comes out in mid-July, will focus on the all-robot-staffed hotel in Nagasaki, Japan, where Imahara investigates the way robots be-have utilizing only artificial intelligence.

Tech Trends to Watch in 2019

A New Perspective on Robots and How They Will Shape Humanity

is the significant advances in function. Today’s wearables go far beyond count-ing steps or distance; you can create an entire wellness program using diet-logging apps and video workout demon-strations and even monitor health data, such as sleep stages and oxygen satura-tion levels.

Wi-Fi 6When used indoors, most devices

use Wi-Fi to connect to the internet be-cause it typically works faster and more reliably than using cellular data. Allowing for more devices to connect, and with less buffering, Wi-Fi 6 is a new standard of Wi-Fi that will be four times faster than the current standard. With wider chan-nels and other technical innovations, next-generation Wi-Fi is designed to support data-intensive applications, like smart home devices or technologies such as augmented or virtual reality gam-ing systems. Routers equipped for Wi-Fi 6 are already available for purchase, with more expected to launch this year, and computers, phones and other con-nected devices that can utilize the more advanced technology will also debut this year and next.

SPORTS

It’s a new month, which means it’s time once again for the monthly sports roundup, where we take a look at the unusual, funny and — at least in this edi-tion — sweet moments in the world of sports. Have a look:

Is LeBron Getting Traded This Offseason?

Wow, are the Lakers ever a mess! After making a splash in free agency by inking LeBron James before the sea-son, LeBron had perhaps the worst year of his career and the Lakers didn’t make the playoffs. The organization fired head coach Luke Walton, Magic Johnson re-signed from his role in the organization and now the Lakers are looking for a new coach and pondering what to do from a player standpoint moving for-ward.

At the time of this writing, there are even some rumblings that LeBron James could be on the trade block. Ac-cording to ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, there are people close to Lakers owner Jeanie Buss that are imploring her to OK a trade to ship LeBron elsewhere.

Technically, LeBron himself doesn’t have to OK any trade, as he doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his current contract. Wouldn’t that be wild if LeBron only lasted a single season in Los Ange-les? We all know how he has a tendency to somewhat hijack an organization when it comes to personnel decisions. What do you think? Is LeBron wearing a different uniform next season?

Jim Harbaugh Gets Mocked in Airplane Banner

Jim Harbaugh is due to enter his fifth season as the head coach at the Univer-sity of Michigan, and many would say that his tenure thus far has been under-whelming at best.

The buzz around Ann Arbor was

that this forthcoming season will be bet-ter from an offensive standpoint, as Har-baugh hired Josh Gattis to help instill more of a spread offense look.

Time will tell, but until Harbaugh starts winning Big Ten titles or regularly receiv-ing a bid to the college football playoff, we can’t blame U-M fans for getting rest-less.

The Awesome Story of St. Louis Blues Forward Pat Maroon

At the time of this writing, we don’t yet know who will be playing in the Stanley Cups Finals, but one of the four teams remaining in the playoffs is the St. Louis Blues — and it’s thanks to a key role play-er, journeyman Pat Maroon. Maroon’s goal in the second overtime of Game 7 in the conference semifinals versus the

MONTHLY SPORTS ROUNDUPby D. Willis | Contributing Columnist

Dallas Stars wasn’t just series-clinching, it was all kinds of awesome for various different reasons.

For starters, Maroon is St. Louis born and bred. His parents were Blues sea-son ticket holders, he went to school and played his junior hockey in the city, and his son was born there. But when-ever hockey season started, Pat moved to wherever he was playing while his family stayed back in St. Louis.

Then, last year, he accepted a one-year contract from the Blues, passing on offers from other teams that would have paid him twice as much, so he wouldn’t have to leave his young son and fiancee. Just look at the reaction from his 10-year-old son when Maroon scored the game-winner. Is someone cutting onions in here?

Phil Mickelson Trolls Matt Kuchar

The Master’s was awesome for many reasons, but you may have missed this gem from Phil Mickelson that he posted to his social media accounts as he was driving to the course before a round. He chatted about his club speed and how he planned to hit “bombs” that day, then stated how he looked forward to his pairing with Matt Kuchar, but not before getting in a dig at him.

Mickelson, a noted gambler, trolled Kuchar by saying that they probably wouldn’t be having any side action on their round that day. The swipe, of course, is a reference to Kuchar stiffing a substitute caddy on a tour win last fall, paying him a measly $5,000 on a $1.29 million payout. Kuchar eventually paid the caddie $50,000, but not until after enough public outcry forced his hand. Go ahead and watch the video and say you didn’t chuckle.

contagious when Harbaugh was an-nounced as Brady Hoke’s replacement prior to the 2015 season, and while his 38-14 overall record and 29-6 confer-ence record isn’t too shabby, it’s the third place Big Ten East Conference fin-ishes and lack of Big Ten titles that are really starting to irk the Wolverine faith-ful.

During Michigan’s annual spring football game last April, a fan voiced his concerns in a most expensive way, rent-ing an airplane to fly a banner over Michi-gan Stadium. The banner voiced frustra-tion with Harbaugh’s offense and play calling to date, stating “Hey Jim, this is God. It’s OK to pass on first down. Let’s try it.”

Harsh? Yes. But with big time football programs come big time expectations. And there’s reason for encouragement

Injuries and Setbacks“I feel grateful just to be playing again.”After Woods appeared to have recov-

ered, image-wise, from his cheating scan-

Everyone loves a good comeback sto-ry, especially as it pertains to professional athletes who have had a notable fall from grace. But you’d be hard-pressed to find a tale of redemption as notable and as de-fining as what Tiger Woods did this past April at Augusta National Golf Club, in Georgia. In case you were living under a rock, Tiger Woods came from behind on the Sunday of the Masters Tournament, to win another coveted green jacket.

It doesn’t matter that Woods’ 2019 Masters win was his fifth green jacket, or that he has won 15 career major tourna-ments! What matters is everything that happened in the former No. 1 golfer in the world’s life--since he won his last ma-jor tournament, nearly 10 years prior to donning the green jacket, once again, at Augusta National Golf Club.

In that 10-year span, Tiger has gone from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows; it’s why the embrace with his son after holing out at 18 carried so much more emotional gravity—as did subse-quent embraces with his mother, daugh-ter and girlfriend. Tiger is back. And with Tiger’s resurgence, golf is also back.

Infidelity and TransgressionsYes, Tiger Woods’ fall from grace

wasn’t pretty. After helping usher in a new generation of young golfers with his blasts off the tee, dead-on accurate ap-proach shots, solid putting and emphatic fist pumps, Tiger Woods went from be-ing unbeatable on and off the course, to enduring a massive personal scandal. It all happened around Thanksgiving 2009, when he crashed his SUV near his Jupiter, Florida, home after an incident with his then-wife, Elin Nordegren. What ensued was a massive infidelity scandal, where text messages and voicemails from vari-ous women Woods engaged with, were revealed. Several women came forward, alleging that Woods would fly them out to the tournaments he was playing in under pseudonyms to avoid suspicion.

Several of Woods’ sponsors began reassessing their business partnerships with the golf star, with Accenture, AT&T, Gatorade, Tag Heuer, and General Mo-tors eventually cutting ties completely with him. Gillette also suspended its part-nership with him. Woods, meanwhile, went into hiding after releasing a state-ment acknowledging and apologizing for his transgressions. He said he was tak-ing an indefinite leave from golf. His went through a divorce.

A few months later, Woods appeared and delivered a televised statement to the media, where he announced he had undergone a 45-day therapy program. He also said that he planned to return

to golf, but, had yet to set an official date. A month later, he announced that his return to golf would be at the 2010 Masters.

Golf is Back on the Map (and it’s All Thanks to Tiger)

dal, a different type of turmoil haunted him: injuries. For example:l He suffered a neck injury in 2010;l About a year later, he sprained his

MCL, and strained his Achilles’; l In 2013, he strained his elbow;l Then, came the back problems. He

had surgery to fix a pinched nerve in his back in 2014;

l About a year later, he had another sur-gery on his back. The guy just couldn’t stay healthy, and just as it seemed like he was finding his swing again, some other injury would present itself;

l There were days where Woods couldn’t even get up and out of bed--days where he wondered if he would ever again return to the golf course; and

l We should also mention Spring 2017, when Woods was arrested for sus-pected driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, another setback. Around this time, Woods again admit-ted to having recently completed a treatment program for an unspecified issue.

When he did play in golf tournament, after recovering from his last back sur-gery, for example, a constant theme was Woods’ feelings of gratefulness to even be playing again — and these sentiments were, again, echoed throughout media sessions in the week prior to this year’s Masters Tournament.

Today, Woods is 43 years old, and his 15 career major tournament wins are just three shy of Jack Nicklaus’ all-time re-cord of 18. We don’t know if Woods will get there, but we do know that Woods essentially lost a decade worth of his ca-reer to both missteps and unfortunate injuries. If not for his lost decade of play, he may have 20 major wins. Maybe even more.

Sure, you may still hate Tiger Woods for cheating on his wife, or putting his young family through what he did. And while these stories where widely re-ported and attracted a great amount of media attention, know that this type of behavior isn’t unusual among athletes of all sports; Tiger just happened to be the biggest athlete in the world at the time. But Tiger Woods is back, and so is golf. And it’s a whole lot more fun this way.

built on the moraine left by the retreating glacier.

There we boarded a 4x4 truck, and finished with a wind-blown walk to the glacier’s lookout point. Usually there is a constant 30-40 mph wind blowing, but when we got to the viewing point, the wind was blasting off the glacier at 70-80 mph.

If you click on the Google Photos link below, you’ll see a video of us trying to remain upright, but looking more like those weather reporters who wander out onto the street as the hurricane ap-proaches.

The boat follows the same route back along Lake Argentino to El Calafate, but the late afternoon light generates differ-ent colors on the lake, mountains, and clouds.

The color of the water is a grey-green that is created by the sediment that gla-ciers pick up as they scour the ground. Locally, it’s known as “rock flour.”

to global warming, Perito Moreno is ad-vancing … and no one is quite sure why.

The glacier moves about six feet a day, and you don’t have to wait much more than 30 minutes for a calving event. Listen for a cracking sound, and ignore the rumbles.

When chunks of the 240-foot high front wall peel off and fall into the water, it’s an event to behold. The bigger the piece of ice, the bigger the resulting tsu-nami.

Part of the glacier’s popularity is that it’s accessible by road, and there is a se-ries of sturdy catwalks that keep visitors safe from flying ice cubes.

I still never found out what kind of waivers that kayakers must sign before paddling out to see how close they can get to the wall.

It is also possible to take a guided ice walk atop the 18,000-year-old glacier.

At 31 miles long and six miles wide, the Upsala Glacier is much bigger than Perito Moreno, but more inaccessible. No one can drive to Upsala.

In this case, it’s about the jour-ney.

Charlotte and I took a boat along Lake Argentino to Estancia Cristina with its ranch-style cottages and restaurant

There I found a woman sitting alone at an empty wooden table in a vacant room. I was aware of the current ex-change rate, and I watched as she fairly computed the exchange. I still don’t know if I was dealing with a black mar-keter, or if this was an accepted way to do business.

On the outskirts of town is the newly-constructed Glaciarium--a glacier muse-um and learning center that includes an ice bar--where the temperature is kept at a bracing 21 degrees.

One of the most interesting features of El Calafate is that the dogs seem to have the run of the place. They sleep in front of doorways, or wherever they please, whenever they please. And it’s customary to feed the street dogs left-over meat from your meal. You literally ask for a doggy bag.

Whenever anyone in Argentina speaks of “The Glacier,” it’s understood that they’re talking about the Perito Moreno Glacier, the most popular spot in Los Glaciares National Park.

It sits, not so quietly, 48 miles west of El Calafate. It’s 19 miles long and three miles wide, but what makes it truly un-usual is that while the other 50 glaciers in the massive ice field, and nearly all of the world’s glaciers are receding due

The border between Chile and Ar-gentina runs down the middle of that part of Southern Patagonia that is most popular with tourists.

Last month’s column was devoted to the Chilean side of Patagonia. As promised, we now travel into Argentina, beginning at a non-descript, desolate border crossing.

The center of activity, and the Argen-tine “base camp” for all excursions and adventures in this area is the town of El Calafate.

Its location, on the south shore of a glacier-fed Lake Argentino, makes it a perfect place to board a boat and sail northward to glaciers, hiking trails, mountains, estancias (ranches), and outdoor adventure.

After adding an international airport, its population has doubled during the last decade to 21,000, but its feel re-mains small. Essentially, all of the com-mercial life is along one road, Avenida del Libertador.

It was impossible to buy any Argen-tine pesos in the U.S. before leaving on our trip. The exchange rate is exception-ally volatile. In May 2018, $1 fetched 20 pesos. As of this writing, that same dol-lar is worth 42 pesos.

I wanted to buy a few pesos for small purchases, but when I got to the cambio (money exchange), I discovered that I needed my passport, which was safely in the hotel’s safe. A helpful German traveler suggested I go upstairs at the restaurant, next door.

THE LAW AND YOUR MONEY El Pueblo | June 2019 Page 12

Q: We stayed overnight in San Diego one Saturday, and we re-turned late Sunday afternoon. Our 16-year old son had a few friends over that prior evening (unbe-knownst to us). They got into some drinking, and one of the boys, somehow, managed to break his ankle. Is this something we can be held liable for?

A: There are two bases upon which you and your spouse may have liabil-ity. First, California Civil Code Section 1714(d)(1) provides for a potential claim against parents who knowingly furnish alcoholic beverages at their residence to a person they know, or should have known, is under 21 years of age.

Secondly, California Civil Code Sec-tion 1714.1 establishes liability of up to $25,000 against parents who have custody and control of their minor child whose behavior is deemed to be will-ful. The term “willful” means the minor did something on purpose. The liability under 1714.1 includes compensation for medical treatment and other injury-

related expenses, but not pain and suf-fering. You can evaluate for yourself if either or both of these provisions may place liability upon you, under the cir-cumstances you described.

Q: Our 10-year old daughter spray-painted graffiti on a neighbor’s wall. There is a video, and, yes, it is her. Is this going to wind up costing us?

A: California Civil Code Section 1714.1 is on point, referenced above. Graffiti likely would be considered “will-ful”, and assuming that is your child, then, you and your spouse may be li-able (together) for up to $25,000 for your minor daughter’s “defacement of property of another, with paint or a simi-lar substance.”

Q: We were watching baseball on tv. Our teenage son took a few sips of my beer. One of my buddies got on me about it. He told me I don’t know the law, and I should not allow my son to do that. What is the law on this?

A: In California, an alcoholic bever-age is any beverage that contains at

least one-half of 1 percent of alcohol. The minimum drinking age by law is 21. Your teenage son should not be sipping.

About the Author: Ron Sokol has been a practicing attorney for over 30 years, and

has also served many times as a judge pro tem, mediator, and arbitrator. It is important to keep in mind that this column presents a summary of the law, and is not to be treated or considered legal advice, let alone a substitute for actual consultation with a qualified professional.

mailed to all heirs at law. If Notice isn’t sent out, everything stops.

3. Letters of Administration. At the hearing, the judge will grant an order to open probate and issue Letters of Ad-ministration. Getting these two single page items takes about 4 weeks. Let-ters of Administration authorized the Administrator(s) to open or close bank accounts, sell the house, file tax returns, and take other actions during the pro-cess.

4. Inventory and Appraisal. Each asset in the estate must be valued as of the date of death. This can take a court appointed Probate Referee (ap-praiser) about 4 months.

5. Creditor Claims. Did one of the children pay for the funeral? If so, they need to file a creditor claim within 4 months of Letters of Administration being issued. Same with any creditors, such as credit card companies.

6. Selling Real Estate. Sell-ing probate real estate is difficult, and more so if you only have limited author-ity. This is because once the property is sold you have to seek permission from the court to approve the sale. The confir-mation process can easily take another 4 months.

7. Final Report and Ac-counting. OK, the house is sold, and the creditors have been paid. Now, you must prepare a Final Report detailing all the actions that occurred over the past 12 to 18 months, along with a detailed accounting. Think of the accounting as a big checkbook register, and it has to balance. To the penny.

8. Order to Close Probate. The final report and accounting, then, must be filed with the court. A hearing

date, usually 4 months out, will be as-signed. If everything is in order, the judge will grant an order to close the probate. If there are “deficiencies,” a 30-day con-tinuance will be ordered, giving you time to make any corrections.

The Take AwayThe probate process is complicated

and time consuming. It’s a process

designed to protect creditors and ben-eficiaries. You need to stay on top of the process, and above all, expect the unex-pected.

If you have ever gone through a pro-bate, you’ve probably asked your attorney

why the process is taking so long. Then, when your attorney responds with something like, “it’s complicated,” your patience withers and frustration builds. So why does the process take so long? To answer that question let’s look at the major events that occur during the pro-cess. I think you’ll get the sense that it can be, well, be complicated!

1. Petition for Probate and Notice of Hearing. Just get-ting off the ground can be fraught with troubles. The first hurdle to overcome is deciding who will be the Administrator. This is where lingering lifetime resent-ments surface. Funny how everybody gets along until it’s about money. Then they don’t. Another question is whether you will represent yourself (pro per) or go with an attorney. If you don’t hire an attorney, getting a Bond will be difficult. And if you can’t get a bond, the court will only grant Limited Authority. Limited authority can extend the probate by 6 months, or more, because you’ll need to go back to court to seek permission to take certain actions, like selling real estate. Full authority is best, but you’ll have to qualify for a Surety Bond, and that requires you having a good credit rating. Head spinning, yet?

2. Notice of Hearing. Once the Petition for Probate is filed, the court will assign a hearing date. In most cas-es, the date will be about 30-45 days from the date you filed the petition for probate. A Notice of Hearing must be
