Hotel in the Gorokhovaya Street.
Comfort Hotel is a hotel located on the corner of the Bolshaya Morskaya Street and the Gorokhovaya Street. These are two of the most famous streets of the city, which form the image of Saint Petersburg. Here, in these streets, the most distinguished personalities of Russia lived and worked. One of the reasons for that is that most buildings in this area were the so-called "tenement buildings" where apartments were rented. Comfort Hotel is located in one of such buildings. The hotel takes up the second and third floors and has a separate entrance from the Bolshaya Morskaya Street. The entrance to the parking lot is from the Gorokhovaya Street. The windows overlook the façade of the building as well as the courtyard. There are two restaurants in the building and a large number of shops within a walking distance. The district has a developed infrastructure; the metro station Admiralteyskaya is located a few minutes away from the hotel. To begin discovering Saint Petersburg and its history, one can simply step out of the hotel and walk along the Gorokhovaya Street. The location of Comfort Hotel is the heart of Saint Petersburg's historical center!

Frampton-Quigg II, possibly belt-less, dependent on Feb 27 outcome
Lawrence Lustig
A second fight between fierce UK rivals Carl Frampton and Scott Quigg will all come down to how the first encounter pans out at the end of this month, according to Barry McGuigan.
IBF champion Frampton and WBA belt holder Quigg meet in a massive super bantamweight unification on February 27 at Manchester Arena to finally settle their differences once and for all.
McGuigan was recently referring to questions on a rematch clause for the pair to meet again in the summer but stated that there was nothing official in place between Cyclone Promotions and Matchroom Boxing.
"(A rematch) All depends, it all depends on how exciting the fight is and what sort of response there is," said McGuigan before directly addressing the lack of a return clause. "I mean there's been mention of a rematch but nothing set in stone, absolutely nothing set in stone. It's like a cash register. All of the apples have to come up."
The fighter's themselves are just keen to prove initially who is the better out of the two, although are fully aware that a close and entertaining contest would mean another blockbuster clash is inevitable.
"You've got to fight the best and beating Carl Frampton that would be, you know, (getting) him out of the way. Then obviously the focus is on me at this moment, but a fighter wants to give the fans what they want. You know, I'm not scared of anybody. It's just about going out there and getting this job done and then we'll see from there," stated Quigg.
Frampton added: "He's probably gotten better, but I've got better as well. I think (this fight) just happens with development. And, you know, we're good professional fighters. We're very dedicated to the sport. So, I think both of us have got better, but I think I'm head and shoulders above this guy.
"I don't want to take Scott Quigg lightly. I don't want to (people to think) I'm looking passive. I'm not. I'm training very, very hard for this fight. But, me on my best — if I put in 100 percent performance, if I put in the best performance I can, and Scott Quigg puts in the best performance he can, then I win the fight and it's not even close.
"So, it's about me and how I perform, because I know if I perform my best and there's only one winner."
Upon completion of the contest this month, Frampton or Quigg would then have to decide whether face Guillermo Rigondeaux or Shingo Wake, both of whom are mandatory challengers with the WBA and IBF. Their choice will ultimately mean the loss of either one of the title belts raised in triumph by the eventual victor.
Should the pair decide to meet again in the summer without facing Rigo or Wake, both the WBA and IBF could rule to strip the winner and leave a second fight belt-less.
Only special dispensation from Darryl Peoples (IBF) or Gilberto Mendoza (WBA) would stop the straps being taken away from a second fight.

The protest by members of the Balangir District Congress against demonetization at two different places has brought the factionalism in the unit to the fore.
While one group led by District Congress Committee president Bhagaban Bagarti, Renuka Patra, Bidhu Bhushan Tripathy and others staged a dharna before the collectroate, another group led by Samrendra Mishra, son of Leader of Opposition (LoP) Narsingha Mishra, Biren Mishra, Laxman Meher, Sudhir Parischha and Sudam Sahu staged a dharna before State Bank of India main branch office.
"The demonetization move by the Central Government has affected the common man the most. The AICC has given a call to observe Jan Akrosh Divas. The AICC is observing it at Delhi and PCC is observing at State level, while the DCC at district and block congress at block level," said Balangir DCC president Bagarti.
Asked to comment on another unit of Congress, Town Congress unit led by Samrendra Mishra, Bagarti said the AICC has instructed to observe the programme at all levels and there is nothing wrong with the stir by the Town Congress as it is also a unit of the party. He, however, denied that it was factionalism in the DCC.
"The Town Congress has received communication from the PCC and we are staging protest dharna before the main branch of the SBI against the demonetization by the Modi Government," Mishra said, adding that the dharna by the DCC was "just a coincidence".
However, political observers here feel that there are two factions in Balangir Congress. While one group backs LoP Mishra, another backs former Congress MP from Balangir Sarat Pattnaik.


00:00:00.000 In 1860 one of the chief planks in Abraham Lincoln's run for the presidency was the Land Grant Act.
00:00:11.075 Justin Smith Morrill, the congressman from Vermont, had come to him saying, "Look, we have all these railroad rights of way that we're not using.
00:00:23.191 Let's grant it back to the states so that land can be sold and the proceeds can be used for institutions of higher learning, or portions of the land itself can be used for the campuses."
00:00:33.547 That's how North Carolina State University was born, and the University of Arizona and other institutions, and that unique land grant mission.
00:00:42.440 So I got thinking there needed to be a land grant for the twenty-first century, not for colleges but for K-12 education.
00:00:55.419 . So what we were able to do was put together a uniform act and I announced it, that my intention [was] to develop the new Education Land Grant Act.
00:01:37.237 was a lady from outside Philadelphia who showed up in a hat kind of like Bella Abzug would wear in the day. She says, "Congressman, do you realize what you're doing?"
00:01:46.478 I said, "Yeah," and she said, "Well, it's not only for the rural areas, but there are plenty of districts in urban and suburban areas who can get help from this."
00:02:11.694 [Laughs] It's not the name, but it sounded good to me and it was an easy acronym to use.
00:02:15.176 But HELGA actually has created quite a few schools and, what was really interesting, up-.
00:02:21.243 In western North Carolina, as you know, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia kind of converge up there.
00:02:52.449 "Look, the power of J. D.'s idea."
00:03:29.762 not exactly the same way but, as Twain might point out, it rhymes.

Gustave Verbeek was born in Nagsaki, Japan, in 1867. He was the son of a Belgian missionary, head of the Tokyo School, which would become the Imperial University. His childhood was spent in Japan, he then studied in Paris, and finally moved to the United States in 1900 to begin a collaboration with a number of important illustrated magazines (Harper's, Saturday Evening Post). A few years later he entered the New York Herald, where he published three original comic strips: The Upside Downs of Little Lovekins and Old Man Muffaroo (1903-1905 – this could be read rightside-up and upside down, every panel making sequential sense in both directions, a real tour de force!), The Terrors of the Tiny Tads (1905-1915), and The Loony Lyrics of Lulu (1910). In the 1920s Verbeek retired from comics and became a painter and sculptor. He died in 1937.
Much more information is now available in The Upside-Down World of Gustave Verbeek: The Complete Sunday Comics 1903-1905. Edited by Peter Maresca. Foreword by Martin Gardner. Palo Alto, CA: Sunday Press Books, 2009. This also includes my essay "Gustave Verbeek's Cruel Tales and the Nonsense Tradition," which I have posted on the Blog of Bosh (more Verbeek from the Blog of Bosh).
His strips all use Nonsense techniques, such as portmanteau words, invented animals and objects, and, most of all, a reliance on visual and literary constraints: this is expecially true of The Loony Lyrics of Lulu, with its use of limericks.
The Terrors of the Tiny Tads (large collection is available at Barnacle Press) first appeared on 15 September 1905 in the New York Herald, the same day that McCay's Little Nemo in Slumberland started to appear in the same newspaper, and was closed on 25 October 1914, according to Allan Holz's Stripper's Guide.
"The cast was a group of small children who were never named beyond the generic Tad […] The Tads were doomed to perpetually meet nightmarish creatures, who were seldom cute and often menacing. And when they were neutral… the things were just plain weird. Animals combined to form a new creature, and sometimes they mutated with inanimate objects like suitcases… Not content with devising the most bizarre beings and doings of his day, Verbeek set another challenge for himself, a habit he was evidently unable to shake from the Upside-Downs days: the weekly invention of clever names.
Hence the weekly fever dreams of the Tads' world are crowded with Hippopautomobiles, Sweet potatoads, Hotelephants (they were also dubbed 'Quadrupedifices') and Dandelionesses. Not content to give his young readers lumps in their throats and skips to their hearts, Verbeek tortured himself with these maniacal challenges of nomenclature."
(Rick Marschall, Of Daydreams and Nightmares, in Nemo, the Classic Comics Library, no. 20, July 1986, p. 43.)
A sample of Verbeek's earlier strip, Easy Papa, which ran in the New York Herald from 25 May 1902 to 1 February 1903, has been placed online by Allan Holtz at his great Stripper's Guide blog. Even earlier, Verbeek illustrated the six instalments of The Adventures of the Twinklies, which appeared in the first six weeks of 1903 of the New York World Sunday comic supplement.

PROGRESSION OF KIDNEY DISEASE IN A COHORT OF CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE (CKD) PATIENTS
Z Wang1,2, J Zhang1,2, O Adegbija1,2, R Abeysekera1,3, HG Healy1,3, KS Tan1,2,4, A Cameron1,2,3, WE Hoy1,2
1 NHMRC CKD.CRE and CKD.QLD, Brisbane, Queensland; 2UQCCR, University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, Queensland; 3Kidney Health Service (RBWH); Metro North Hospital and Health Service, Brisbane, Queensland; 4Renal Services (Logan), Metro South Hospital and Health Service, Brisbane, Queensland
Aim: To determine predictors associated with kidney disease progression.
Background: The CKD.QLD registry commenced incremental patient recruitment mid-2011 with CKD patients followed for disease progression and endpoints of death and/or initiation of renal replacement therapy (RRT).
Methods: In this observational longitudinal cohort study, subjects were patients with CKD, enrolled in the registry, and attending renal clinics in two major public hospitals in Queensland, Australia. Primary endpoints were the first of either an absolute 30% decline in eGFR (CKD-EPI) at 2 years, death or starting RRT. Proteinuria/albuminuria was defined by three categories using protein-to-creatinine ratio (PCR)/ albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), or protein dipstick. Cox regression models were applied to test associations of significance.
Results: 1,052 patients of those with eGFR at consent<60 ml/min/1.73m2 were eligible (females 47.5%). Age at consent ranged 18 to 99 years, mean 68 (median 71) years. At two years, eGFR was reduced by>30% in 11% (n=106) of 937 patients who had that repeat measurement. 4.2% (n=49) and 6.3% (n=66) of 1,052 had died or commenced RRT respectively. A total of 221 (21%) reached the composite primary endpoint. Associations of independent significance (HR, 95%CI) were: age<70 years 1.4 (1.02-1.93), diabetic nephropathy (DN) 2.49 (1.19-5.22) and genetic renal disease (GRD) 3.35 (1.44-7.79), with glomerular nephritis (GN) a reference group, micro-proteinuria/albuminuria, 1.76 (1.03-3.0) ,and macro- proteinuria/albuminuria, 4.69 (2.9-7.59), with "normal" PCR or ACR or negative dipstick as the reference group.
Conclusions: The majority of patients with CKD did not progress by this definition. Of those who did, age<70 years, the presence of DN, GRD and proteinuria/albuminuria, both micro- and macro-, were powerful independent predictors of progression of kidney disease.

Good digestive health is the foundation of a healthy body. Digestive problems can lead to allergies, arthritis, autoimmune disease, rashes, acne, chronic fatigue, mood disorders, dementia, cancer... and more. Having a healthy gut is about much more than eliminating gas and heartburn, it's about total health. Your digestive tract is connected to every cell in your body. Every day we feed our bodies foods and encounter toxins that make the digestive system's job very difficult, and that impacts your overall health.
What this means in practical terms is that digestive health problems are your body's way of telling you something is wrong. Symptoms are gas, bloating, or not having daily bowel movements. Or it could be more severe-you get ill after eating certain foods, you have low energy or exhaustion, you break out in hives, you have eczema, or you have migraine headaches. You don't have to live that way, the good news is that by getting to the root causes of your GI dysfunction and coming up with a holistic plan to address them, you can feel better.
For many people, healing digestive problems is more complicated than just eating a healthy diet. As a board certified Functional Medicine practitioner, Debbie Reynolds, nurse practitioner, frequently starts by assessing gut health. She helps people all over the country get to the root cause of GI dysfunction and reclaim their digestive health. You may need to be tested for celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, Candida overgrowth, H pylori, parasites, food sensitivities and other possible issues. Then she works together with the patient to develop a plan that will help reclaim your health.
Reduce stress levels-Stress can contribute to symptoms such as cramping, bloating, constipation and diarrhea (irritable bowel syndrome). You can help control your stress levels by engaging in regular physical movement, meditating, yoga and breathing techniques.
Stop smoking and other bad habits. It is widely known that smoking can contribute to a variety of health issues, including digestive problems. Smoking cigarettes may increase the likelihood of acid reflux and can lead stomach ulcers and heartburn. In addition, excessive liquor and caffeine consumption can lead to digestive health problems.

"Heads Up" to Architects, Engineers, Condominium Developers and Municipalities re: Schedule G in Ontario Condominium Declarations and Amendments
byGregory Carpenter
Post by: Greg Carpenter
The regulations to the Condominium Act of Ontario (the "Act") prescribe two forms of Schedule G Certificates of an Architect or Engineer that are required in condominium declarations:
Certificate of Architect or Engineer (Schedule G to Declaration for a Standard or Leasehold Condominium Corporation) (Under Clauses 5(8)(a) and (b) of O.Reg. 48/01 or clause 8(1)(e) or (h) of the Act) (formerly Form 2 and referred to in this blog as "Form 2"); and
Certificate of Architect or Engineer (Schedule G to Declaration for a Common Elements or Vacant Land Condominium Corporation) (Under Subsections 40 (11) and 56 (7) of Ontario Regulation 48/01 and under Clauses 8 (1) (e) and (h) or Clauses 157 (1) (c) and (e) of the Act) (formerly Form 17 and referred to in this blog as "Form 17").
Form 2 is required for standard condominium declarations and leasehold condominium declarations. Form 2 is also required in all amendments to a declaration adding phases to a standard phased condominium. Form 17 is required in the declaration of a common elements condominium or vacant land condominium.
There is also a Schedule G Statement of a municipality which is required for amendments to the declaration of a phased standard condominium. This municipality Schedule G does not have a prescribed form. Despite the fact the Act does not exempt the amendment for a final phase from including this municipality Schedule G, it is not required for such final phase.
We will not be examining the Form 17 Schedule G (common elements and vacant land condominiums) in detail in this blog post. We intend to address that Form in a future post.
These Schedule G forms are "prescribed" by the Regulations under the Act and cannot be changed without Ministry approval. In our experience, Ministry approval is not granted readily. However, we have had success in obtaining approval for wording changes in cases where a situation was clearly not anticipated when the Regulations were drafted.
Some Registry/Land Titles Office examiners have rejected the Form 2 submitted with a declaration or amendment for technical review if the alternate choice in Paragraphs 4, 5, 8 or 10 has been deleted and not left in the Form without the box ticked off. Other examiners accept the form with the alternate choices deleted. This gives rise to a whole other discussion of the complete lack of uniform interpretation of legislation by the Land Registry offices. Each office appears to operate in isolation of the others and one never knows if what is acceptable to Registry Office A will be accepted by Registry Office B.
There are a number of situations where completion of the Form 2 Schedule G is not straight forward:
1. Paragraph 1 of Form 2 says the exterior building envelope is weather resistant if required by the construction documents and has been completed in general conformity with the construction documents.
How does one certify in special situations such as:
on a conversion when there are no original construction documents available;
if the building was built using draftsman's drawings without any inspection by an architect. To what extent will an architect or engineer need to open walls and make other intrusive investigations, etc. to verify conformity with construction documents?
2. Paragraph 2 of Form 2 says that except as otherwise specified in the Regulations, floor assemblies are constructed to the sub-floor.
What happens in the case of a non-residential condominium where floors are not required to be in place until after registration of the condominium? In our view the architect or engineer can still sign Schedule G in such circumstances even though there is no floor in place as the Regulations to the Act provide the lowermost floor does not have to be in place with respect to non-residential condominiums.
3. Paragraph 6 of Form 2 says all installations with respect to the provision of water and sewage services are in place.
Does this mean, in the case of sewage services, installed just to the unit boundary? Or does it mean hooked up so that toilets can flush?
In the case of water services, does this mean only laterals from the street to and including the municipal water meter for the unit? Or does it mean hooked up so the taps will work?
In our view the services need to be at least installed to the unit boundary or meter, as the case may be. The Regulations to the Act do not require units to be finished to the point where all the internal plumbing is completed.
4. Paragraph 8 of Form 2 says all installations with respect to the provision of air conditioning are in place or, alternately, there are no installations with respect to the provision of air conditioning.
If there is an obligation to have air conditioning for each unit or if the project specifications indicate air conditioning is a "standard feature", there is little doubt the architect or engineer must confirm each unit is served by an operational air conditioning unit.
However, it is not unusual for air conditioning to be an optional extra. Therefore, at the time of condominium registration it is quite possible some of the units may not have air conditioning, either because the buyers of those units did not choose the air conditioning option or because the units are not sold.
In our view, the architect or engineer needs a clear, unequivocal written statement from the builder as to which of the units are required to have air conditioning, either because air conditioning is a standard feature, is required by the municipality (in case of noisy sites) or because the air conditioning "option" has been chosen. The architect or engineer then needs to inspect each of the units that is to have air conditioning and ensure the air conditioning equipment is in place and operational.
5. Paragraph 9 of Form 2 says all installations with respect to the provision of electricity are in place.
Does this mean only lateral lines to and including the electric meters, or do the unit service panels also have to be installed or is live electricity at the wall sockets required?
We think the lateral lines need to be to the electrical panels of the units and those panels have to be in place. However, we do not think the lines have to run beyond that.
6. Paragraph 11 of Form 2 says except as otherwise specified in the Regulations, the boundaries of the units are completed to the drywall (not including taping and sanding), plaster or other final covering, and perimeter doors are in place.
What does this mean where unit boundaries are not in whole or in part dry walled or have other final coverings? Many unit boundaries have nothing to do with walls or other features that might be dry walled. In addition, some condominium units' walls are not dry walled but are covered with plaster or brick or other substance. Based on our discussions with the Ministry it's clear the drafter of this paragraph simply screwed up and made a bunch of erroneous assumptions (welcome to the Condominium Act). This paragraph can be interpreted to say that whatever features are monumenting unit boundaries must be in place. This has been confirmed during discussions with Ministry staff.
There is nothing on Schedule G that indicates what property the Schedule is intended to cover. This is a significant concern. How does the signatory know which property the Schedule he or she signs is going to be used for? It would be very possible (although completely inappropriate) for a builder to keep extra copies of signed Schedule G from Project A and use them for Project B.
We suggest the signatory add a short description of the property in the vicinity of her or his signature. We have not had any issues in being able to register declarations with Schedule G's that have been altered to add a description of the property to which it is intended to apply. This description can either be a short legal description, an address or a combination thereof.
Watch for our upcoming blogs addressing additional issues and points about Forms 2, 17 and other Schedule G issues matters on our website www.rcllp.ca.

Q: Properly cache a type-hinted model in Laravel I'm using Redis to cache different parts of my app. My goal is to not make a database query when the user is not logged in, as the app's content don't get updated regularly.
I cache the archive queries in my controller, however when I type hint a model in the controller, the model is retrieved from the database and then passed to the controller:
// My route
Route::get('page/{page:id}', [ PageController::class, 'show' ] );

// My controller
public function show ( Page $page ) {
    // Here, the $page will be the actual page model.
    // It's already been queried from the database.
}

What I'm trying to do is to try and resolve the page from the cache first, and then if the cache does not contain this item, query the database. If I drop the Page type-hint, I get the desired result ( only the id is passed to controller ) but then I will lose the benefit of IoC, automatic ModelNotFoundException, and more.
I've come across ideas such as binding the page model to a callback and then parsing the request(), but seems like a bad idea.
Is there any way to properly achieve this? I noticed that Laravel eloquent does not have a fetching event, which would be perfect for this purpose.

A: You can override the default model binding logic:
Models\Page.php
public function resolveRouteBinding($value, $field = null)
{
    return \Cache::get(...) ?? $this->findOrFail($value);
}

Read more here https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/routing#customizing-the-resolution-logic

A: In order to check for existence of the data in Redis, you shouldn't type-hint the model into the controller's action. Do it like this:
public function show($pageId) {

    if(/* check if cached */) {
        // Read page from cache
    } else {
        Page::where('id', $pageId)->first();
    }

}

Haven't you heard the old adage 'alive and kicking'? That's exactly what your baby's kicks mean. If your baby is actively kicking around like a soccer player, it simply means that your baby is growing and is active, which is a sign of good health.
How often have you felt a rude jerk from your baby every time you ate something spicy? This is because most babies generally dislike spicy food. However, if you were to eat something and your baby starts kicking around happily at that very moment, chances are that the food you just ate is awesome and yummy. Your baby simply wants more of it!
Before your baby started to kick, he/she was just a curled up bundle. This is why the doctors generally measured your baby from his/her head to rump. However, from now on, it only means that your baby will start growing in size and will be measured from head to toe.
And you thought you were talking to your belly all along! By week 18, a baby's ears start standing out on the sides and .the hearing develops too. If you have been talking to your baby around this time and he/she kicks back in response, then it means that your baby can now actually listen to you (1).
Your baby should start kicking for the first somewhere between week 16 to week 25. This kick, which in fact feels more like a flutter, might even make you mistake it for gas (2). While it may take a few more weeks to transform into full-fledged kicks, these flutter-like kicks signal the start of your second trimester.
Doctors generally ask expecting mothers to keep a count of their baby's kicks. However, if these kicks drastically reduce, it is a way of the baby communicating to the mother that something is not right. Like a distress call. Time to see your doctor immediately.
While your baby's kicks were regular but flutter-like during the second trimester, they become far more intense during the third trimester. They are also more frequent. This is the time your husband and relatives may also be able to sense your baby's movements by placing a hand on your belly.
When you put a flashlight on your belly, your baby moves and kicks. By week 33, your baby's pupils will change size in response to light. It means that your baby can now view the light as well (3).
By week 25, your baby would have probably learned to sleep and starts spending more time in REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. During this time, quite obviously, your baby will not kick. And whenever he/she does, it is a sign that your baby has woken up!
Yes, not all movements are kicks. If you feel slow and rhythmic kicks lasting for more than 30 seconds, in all probability your baby might be experiencing hiccups. Likewise, when babies are still small and have enough room inside the amniotic sac, they may even rotate or do somersaults.
Now you know the different meanings of your baby's kicks. We are sure you'll now find it more interesting than ever to keep a track of them. So, enjoy communicating with your baby in this unique manner while still being on the lookout for those kick-counts!

Facebook Introductions on the way?
Facebook just released a feature that suggests people you may know, described well in this Inside Facebook post. This feels like the biggest step Facebook has taken to get closer to the type of introduction functionality that is at the heart of LinkedIn and going there seems like a very obvious next step for Facebook.
A quick rundown of the new functionality first. A sidebar entry on your homepage rotates through a couple of people who you share friends with like this:
and the see all page shows you lists of people who you share friends with.
A lot of the people are just people who you share hyperconnected Facebook friends with (Jon Staenberg knows EVERYONE!). But it's also very interesting to see people who you share friends with in completely different social circles. I've definitely had a few, WAIT A SEC, HOW DO THEY KNOW EACH OTHER?!? moments.
My experience browsing the lists is that about 25% of the people suggested are people I actually am friends or acquaintances with, but just haven't added on Facebook. About 50% are people I am familiar with, but don't know personally. And the remaining quarter are people I don't know at all. Basically, a perfect platform from which to launch LinkedIn-style introductions.
I've written about contact segmentation in social networking in the past. This is something that is going to be more important in social networks as boundaries of friends, business colleagues, and online acquaintances start to blur. Facebook is giving a nod to that with their Privacy Changes and Friend Lists. But as Facebook and other networks break down the tenuous walls around friends and contacts, having context about the nature of these relationships is going to be more important, and that's something we've been working on. The ClearContext Contact Exporter lets you extract and export sets of contacts from groups of Outlook folders, allowing you to export everyone you've invited to parties onto Facebook or groups like your investment contacts into LinkedIn. But now that the roles of these social networks are overlapping more, it's more likely to have both types of contacts in both places, so having richer information about the strength and nature of your relationships known by those sites will become more important – and analyzing email interactions is a good way to figure that out. In our upcoming ClearContext release we've already added more contact-focused interactions directly into messaging workflow, allowing you to work with groups of contacts related to specific contexts or projects. As we continue to be overwhelmed by information and and ever-increasing number of ways to exchange that information and interact with each other, it's a really exciting time to be working on intelligent solutions to help people survive in this new era of hyperconnected communications.
Update: One of the most hyperconnected folks around, the lovely Adriana Gascoigne, just wrote about how much she loves Facebook for virtual networking. She's not alone on that by any means, and that is exactly why I think we'll be seeing functionality like Facebook Introductions soon.

Well a few months have passed since my last blog and we are once again arriving at one of my favorite seasons of the year; Spring. As the sun gets brighter and the days get warmer, the rebirth and growth of spring time is all around. For me personally, I am the healthiest I have been in over five years.
With the new liver I received, I have been provided with an extension on to my life that I am most grateful for. Each and everyday I give thanks for my donor and my life. Since my last blog entry, I have continued to maintain a very healthy diet. Derek has become my nutritionist, and takes the perspective that food is medicine. He has gotten pretty good at it. He has learned which foods are best for us.
However all of it is not the most tasty. Fruits & veggies, protein, and grains are the main stay of our diet each day. Each day we begin our day with a 2 mile walk at sunrise. I now follow that up with another half hour to an hour on the stair master glider and stretches & weight bearing exercises.
Last summer, as we were traveling and I was dancing most weekends; I still did not truly feel as though I was at the strength and endurance levels that I remembered from before I got sick in 2008. My drive is to return to dancing again at the level I once did. I know this requires dedication and determination.
So for all these fall and winter months, I have worked hard to achieve this goal. I feel that I have done well and ready to begin the new powwow season as a serious competitive dancer. In the weeks and months after the transplant, I had so much to re-learn physically. Though I could walk, I had forgotten how to walk up and down stairs. My balance was way off. And to dance the stationary traditional style, in a twenty five pound buckskin dress, balance is very important.
So my first few times back into the arena to dance was another learning process. I had a new and different mind and body to coordinate with. The muscles in my stomach had been cut through, in order to place my new liver. This meant that also muscle tissue had been cut. Only time and good care would provide the path to healing. The healing in that area has come along very well. I have found more energy, and my balance. I am now ready to get out there again.

Apple iPhone 5s launch
Apple launches iPhone 5S and $99 iPhone 5C with five colors March 25, 2020 – 07:35 am
Phil Schiller, Apple's head of marketing, unveils the iPhone 5C. Josh Lowensohn/CNET
Apple on Tuesday unveiled its new flagship iPhone 5S and a new budget smartphone, the iPhone 5C, as it seeks to attract more customers and revitalize interest in its devices.
The iPhone 5S includes updated components, comes in three colors, and includes a fingerprint sensor to unlock the device and make purchases. It will retail for $199 for 16GB, $299 for 32GB, or $399 for 64GB, all with a contract. The iPhone 5C, which is made of plastic, starts at $99 for the 16GB version or $199 for 32GB with a two-year contact.
Preorders start Friday. The devices will be available in stores on September 20.
"The iPhone 5C is made with all the incredible technology that customers have loved with the iPhone 5, but there's more, too, " Phil Schiller said during the event. "It has an incredible new design - one that's more fun, and more colorful than anything we've made before."
The budget device has a polycarbonate wrap-around back. It will come in five colors - green, white, blue, red, and yellow. The screen wallpaper will match the exterior of the phone. For the new iPhone 5C, Apple also designed $29 custom cases made of silicon with a microfiber lining.
The iPhone 5C will sport a 4-inch retina display, like the iPhone 5, as well as an A6 chip inside with "blazing-fast performance." The battery is larger than in the iPhone 5, and it includes an 8MP iSight camera, with the five-element lens and IR filter as seen on the 5.
Meanwhile, Apple also unveiled its latest flagship device, the iPhone 5S, which it called "the most forward-thinking phone anyone has ever made." It's made of high-grade aluminum and comes in silver, gold, and "a new space gray."
The device also sports a new A7 processor. The A7 chip includes 64-bit capabilities, which makes it on par with PC chips. The iPhone 5S is "up to twice as fast" as the previous-generation system and has twice the graphics performance as well.
Apple also incorporated a chip that it calls the M7. This is a "motion co-processor" that aggregates and monitors accelerometer, gyroscope, and compass data and offloads it from the A7. That enables a new generation of health and fitness apps, such as a new Nike+ Move app. The app keeps track of what users do, tracks their Fuel points, and lets them compete with friends.

There has never been such a diversity of generations in the workplace as there is today. It is not unusual to find each of the four generational demographics – Traditionalists, Baby Boomers, Generation X-ers and Millennials – in a single department. And because each generation brings its own values and expectations into the workplace, it's not unusual to have differing viewpoints on a single situation which can often lead to disagreement and conflict. In the latest issue of Perspectives Magazine published by the Canadian Employee Relocation Council, I provide a quick overview of the differing outlooks of each generation AND I offer three specific ideas to bridge the gap.
So what is your experience? What are you doing to bridge the generational gap in your organization? Please share your ideas in the Comments section below.
Merge has captured the inter-generational differences very well; I really like the ideas for bridging the gap–insightful.
Everyone should know the differences in generational age needs. Knowing the needs will be the first step to decreased conflict. Well shared Merge with some great examples of each of the generational needs and motivations at work!
Thanks for your kind words Sid and Valerie! Appreciate the feedback.

5. Obtaining copies
Annex A: Publicly available studies and reports (in the language of the source)
Annex B: ISED's preliminary calculation
Annex C: Establishment of power flux density limit in protection zones
On August 6, 2021, ISED initiated a Consultation on Amendments to SRSP-520, Technical Requirements for Fixed and/or Mobile Systems, Including Flexible Use Broadband Systems, in the Band 3450-3650 MHz (the Consultation). The initial deadline for submitting comments was August 23, 2021. Several comments requested further time to provide submissions in the Consultation. As a result, Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) is inviting further comments and extending the deadline to October 15, 2021.
The Consultation referred to studies that were reviewed while developing the proposal. Some comments requested clarification as to which studies ISED had reviewed so that stakeholders could have reviewed them prior to submitting comments. Additional information on these studies, including some of the factors that ISED considered in the development of the proposed Standard Radio Systems Plan (SRSP) are set out below.
As indicated in the Consultation, there is preliminary evidence that radio altimeters, which are used on aircraft, operating in 4200-4400 MHz band to aid in aeronautical navigation, may be susceptible to harmful interference from flexible use broadband operations in the 3450-3650 MHz band (3500 MHz band) under certain conditions. Radio altimeters are critical sensors for automatic flight guidance systems, which include automated landing systems. In addition, several other aeronautical safety-related systems rely on inputs from radio altimeters (e.g. terrain awareness and warning systems).
Given that radio altimeters are critical in aeronautical services, the amendments proposed in the SRSP are based on protecting the lives and safety of Canadians while still allowing the deployment of 5G operations in the 3500 MHz band.
2.1 Determination of potential for harmful interference
ISED reviewed a number of publicly available studies conducted by other entities (see annex A), including the October 2020 Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) report, the 2019 and 2020 studies from Aerospace Vehicle Systems Institute (AVSI), a study conducted by the aircraft manufacturer ATR, and studies from regulators in the United Kingdom (UK), France (available only in French), Australia and Japan (available only in Japanese, however summarized in English). Some studies highlighted the potential for harmful interference to radio altimeters operating in the 4200-4400 MHz band from 5G operations in adjacent and nearby bands, while other studies did not.
For instance, the RTCA report studied the potential impact on radio altimeters' performance from 5G base stations and user equipment expected to be operating in the 3700-3980 MHz band in the United States (US). It concluded that 5G base stations presented a risk of harmful interference to radio altimeters, which could negatively impact their performance. Moreover, based on the assessment of radio altimeters subjected to emissions in the 3700-4200 MHz band, the AVSI reports stated that the protection from interference signals could not be guaranteed. ATR reported systematic erroneous radio altimeter indications linked to the existing mobile base stations around airports. Coexistence studies conducted by Japan for the 3600-4200 MHz and 4400-4900 MHz bands, by Australia for the 3575-3700 MHz and 3700-4200 MHz bands, and by France for the 3400-3800 MHz band employed different regulatory contexts, interference analysis methodologies and assumptions, but reached similar conclusions that 5G equipment in adjacent bands may cause harmful interference to radio altimeters. A study performed by Ofcom in the UK for the 3800-4200 MHz band concluded that their proposed low and medium power technical conditions for base stations would not pose any interference risk to these aeronautical sensors. However, a study submitted to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) by the UK Civil Aviation Authority indicated that high-power base station operation in the frequency range 3600-3800 MHz were more likely to cause interference to 4200-4400 MHz radio altimeters than low power base station operation in the frequency band 3800-4200 MHz. In summary, the review of these studies in the context of Canadian technical and spectrum policies for the 3500 MHz band supported ISED's initial view that there may be a potential of harmful interference to radio altimeters from 5G operation and, therefore, a risk to the lives and safety of Canadians.
The vast majority of the information relied on by ISED was in public studies available to all parties. Some comments questioned what evidence ISED reviewed in developing the proposed measures and raised concerns regarding reliance on confidential information. Although ISED has had confidential discussions related to radio altimeters with equipment manufactures and other national regulators, the proposed changes to the SRSP set out in the Consultation were developed using well known and publicly available information as discussed above.
As per its usual process, ISED conducted preliminary calculations to assess the potential for interference based on publicly available studies in the context of Canada's technical rules on the 3500 MHz band. This calculation (see annex B) evaluated coexistence between radio altimeters and 5G equipment in Canada based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Recommendation ITU-R M.2059-0, Operational and technical characteristics and protection criteria of radio altimeters utilizing the band 4200-4400 MHz and the maximum permitted power of 5G equipment in Canada, as defined in RSS-192, Flexible Use Broadband Equipment Operating in the Band 3450-3650 MHz. ISED considered an aircraft approaching and/or landing in the vicinity of an outdoor transmitting base station using the technical characteristics of all radio altimeters defined in ITU-R M.2059-0. Harmful interference to radio altimeters from signals outside their band of operation (4200-4400 MHz) was calculated to be possible, which could include signals from future flexible use deployment of 5G systems in the 3500 MHz band around airports and heliports, warranting further investigation into the issue. These calculations performed by ISED are based on the noted publicly available information and could be performed by an experienced engineer in the field.
ISED is committed to ensuring the safety of Canadians and thus determined that measures were warranted to protect the operation of radio altimeters while international and domestic studies continue. Since ISED cannot rule out the use of worst-case altimeters described by the aviation industry in the RTCA report on Canadian territory at this time, ISED proposed to adopt a cautious approach to define the mitigation measures until additional studies are completed.
2.2 Establishment of exclusion/protection zones and power flux density limit
Following the preliminary calculation mentioned above, ISED examined regulatory measures already put in place by other countries to protect radio altimeters, such as those of Japan and France. These measures are all public and were available for review by all parties. ISED noted that regulators in other countries such as the United States and in the European Union are still studying the matter. Similar to the framework established by France (available only in French), the SRSP proposed the use of exclusion and protection zones to mitigate interference to aircrafts around certain runways. The runways identified are those where automated landing is authorized, based on advice from Transport Canada. In addition to the identification of exclusion zones and protection zones, ISED also defined a power flux density (pfd) limit for protection zones proposed in the SRSP based on the study conducted by the RTCA (report SC-239). Annex C of this document provides a description of the calculation used for the establishment of the pfd limit. The intent of the pfd limit was to provide a clear requirement to operators in enabling their deployment of 5G systems within the protection zones. These mitigation measures take into account the characteristics of Canadian flexible use systems such as maximum permitted power levels.
2.3 National antenna down-tilt requirement
In November 2020, France's Agence Nationale des Fréquences (ANFR) imposed a national antenna down-tilt requirement as part of its mitigation measures to protect radio altimeters in the 3400-3800 MHz band. This requirement was scaled back in March 2021 once more information was obtained on the types of radio altimeters used on military and emergency services helicopters. In Canada, helicopters are used in low altitude military operations, search and rescue operations and medical evacuations all over the country. After initial consultation with Transport Canada and the Department of National Defence, ISED proposed a national antenna down-tilt requirement for 5G base stations similar to the original requirement in France. Given that ISED cannot confirm all types of radio altimeters in use on helicopters in Canada at this time, the national down-tilt requirement is proposed to protect the lives and safety of Canadians pending further investigation.
ISED will review the comments received and, as required, publish an updated SRSP after the closing of this Consultation.
As indicated previously, ISED anticipates that additional evidence from domestic and international studies will be available throughout the balance of this year and into 2022. Further changes are expected to be proposed to the SRSP at that time, through a future consultation. In the meantime, ISED plans to continue gathering further information from all stakeholders.
Stakeholders are requested to provide their comments in electronic format (Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF) by email. Stakeholders may amend their comments or provide further comments on any issues relating to the Consultation prior to October 15, 2021.

TSO-C87: Airborne Low-Range Radio Altimeters
ISED conducted preliminary calculations to assess the potential for interference based on publicly available studies in the context of Canada's technical rules on the 3500 MHz band. The calculation evaluated coexistence between radio altimeters and 5G equipment in Canada based on the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Recommendation ITU-R M.2059-0, Operational and technical characteristics and protection criteria of radio altimeters utilizing the band 4200-4400 MHz and the maximum permitted power of 5G equipment in Canada, as defined in RSS-192, Flexible Use Broadband Equipment Operating in the Band 3450-3650 MHz.
The following assumptions were made:
the base station's out-of-band antenna pattern was assumed to be the same as the in-band antenna pattern
the antenna main beam (excluding antenna side-lobe contributions) of the base station was assumed to be pointing in the direction of the aircraft
the radio altimeter (RA) antenna patterns are typically horizontally polarized; cross-polarization isolation was not taken into account due to varying flight vectors of aircraft
the radio frequency environment was assumed to have a single point source (i.e. no consideration for aggregate power from multiple sources, diffraction and/or multipath effects)
Radio altimeter protection criteria
This calculation used the following radio altimeter protection criteria found in (ITU-R M.2059-0, ICAO ACP-WGF29/WP11):
Desensitization
\[ I_{TX,IF} ≤ N - 6\:dB \]
where ITX,IF is the interference power threshold, and N is the effective receiver thermal noise power.
Front end overload
\[ I_{RF} ≤ P_{T,RF} \]
where IRF is the total peak interference signal power at the receiver input, and PT,RF is the input power threshold defined in Table 1 and Table 2 of ITU-R M.2059-0.
False altitudes
\[ I_{D} < I_{T,FA} \]
where ID is the interference power at the detector, and IT,FA = –143 dBm/100 Hz following the instantaneous altimeter local oscillator. This criterion is limited to the Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radio altimeter design as opposed to the pulsed radio altimeters.
As recommended in ITU-R M.2059-0, p. 18, the three (3) protection criteria are considered in all cases since no clear demarcations between these interference effects.
Although ICAO recommends adding the aeronautical safety margin of at least 6 dB to the radio altimeter protection criteria in any coexistence study, no safety margin was applied in the calculation.
Radio altimeter frequency dependent rejection
Radio altimeters employ bandpass filters to provide a frequency-dependent rejection (FDR), also known as RF selectivity, of unwanted signals outside the 4200-4400 MHz band. The RF filter attenuation of 24 dB per octave (up to a maximum of 40 dB) was applied to the radio altimeters in the calculation, described in ITU-R M.2059-0 (see table B1).
Table B1: FDR of radio altimeters described in ITU-R M.2059-0
Interference frequency, MHz
RF filter attenuation, dB
≤ 4200 Attenuated at 24 dB per octave to a maximum of 40 dB
≥ 4400 Attenuated at 24 dB per octave to a maximum of 40 dB
To calculate the number of octaves as defined in the FDR, the edge (i.e. 4200 MHz) of the radio altimeter operating frequency band was used (see figure B1). Therefore, one (1) octave corresponds to the half or double of the 4200 MHz frequency.
Figure B1: Plot of the RF selectivity curve
Description of figure 1
This figure shows the plot of the radio frequency selectivity curve based on a 24 dB per octave (up to a maximum of 40 dB) from the 4200 MHz band edge. The x-axis represents the frequency range from 1000 MHz to 4200 MHz and the y-axis represents the attenuation from 0 dB to 40 dB.
Due to the potential of unobstructed path between the radio altimeter's antenna and the base station's antenna, the Friis transmission equation with the free-space path loss model according to the ITU-R P.525-4 (Equation 4) was utilized in the calculation. Six (6) analog and four (4) digital radio altimeters (FMCW and pulsed) were considered based on the technical characteristics defined the table 1 and table 2 of ITU-R M.2059-0.
The calculation considered an aircraft approaching and/or landing in the vicinity of an outdoor transmitting base station. Both non-active antenna system (non-AAS) base station equipment and active antenna system (AAS) base station equipment were analyzed using the technical requirements contained in RSS-192, issue 4.
Coexistence of radio altimeters and non-AAS base stations
A non-AAS outdoor base station with a 10 MHz channel bandwidth at the 3515 MHz center frequency of the block was analyzed. The base station's transmitter output power and unwanted emission levels were according to sections 8.6 and 8.7 of the RSS-192, issue 4 (see table B2).
Table B2: Transmitter output power and unwanted emission levels for the non-AAS outdoor (type 1) base station
Power spectral density, dBm/5 MHz
Power spectral density, dBm/MHz
Frequency range of emission, MHz
68 61 e.i.r.p. 3510-3520
15 8 e.i.r.p. 3525-3530
N/A –13 Conducted power >3690
Additional cases were analyzed to account for the susceptibility of interference within the radio altimeter's 4200-4400 MHz operational band (i.e. in-band interference) and from outside the 4200-440 MHz band (i.e. out-of-band interference) from non-AAS outdoor base station.
Coexistence of radio altimeters and a non-AAS outdoor base station from emissions in the 3510 MHz-3690 MHz range.
The radio altimeters were assumed to receive an interference signal based on the values in table B2:
61 dBm/MHz power spectral density from 3510 MHz-3520 MHz
8 dBm/MHz power spectral density from 3525 MHz-3530 MHz
The RF filter attenuation was determined to vary from 6.21 dB at 3510 MHz to 4.48 dB at 3690 MHz.
The radio altimeters were assumed to receive an interference signal of -13 dBm/MHz power spectral density (conducted) from 3690 MHz-4200 MHz (see table B2). A maximum base station antenna gain of 17 dBi was used based on table B1of SRSP-520. The RF filter attenuation was determined to vary from 4.48 dB at 3690 MHz-0 dB at 4200 MHz.
Coexistence of radio altimeters and a non-AAS outdoor base station from emission in the 4200 MHz-4400 MHz range.
The radio altimeters were assumed to receive an interference signal of -13 dBm/MHz power spectral density (conducted) from 4200 MHz-4400 MHz. A 17 dBi base station antenna gain and a 0 dB RF filter attenuation was applied in this case.
Coexistence of radio altimeters and AAS base stations
An AAS outdoor base station with a 10 MHz channel bandwidth at the 3515 MHz center frequency of the block was further analyzed. The base station's transmitter output power and unwanted emission levels were according to sections 8.6 and 8.7 of the RSS-192, issue 4 (see table B3).
Table B3: Transmitter output power and unwanted emission levels assumed for AAS outdoor (type 1) base station
Total radiated power (TRP) density, dBm/5 MHz
TRP density, dBm/MHz
Frequency range, MHz
1 –6 3530-3650
N/A –13 >3690
Analogously to the non-AAS base station case, in-band interference and out-of-band interference from the AAS outdoor base station to radio altimeters were assessed.
Examples of calculated minimum separation distances (using MATLAB) between radio altimeters and outdoor non-AAS base station to potentially prevent in-band interference and out-of-band interference are provided in table B4 and table B5, respectively. Shorter distances were found in the AAS base station case since no antenna gain was applied to the total radiated power (TRP) values in the calculation.

* Case with 61 dBm/MHz e.i.r.p. density emission limit at 3515 MHz and 6.16 dB RF filter attenuation
Based on the separation distances calculated above in table B4 and table B5, radio altimeter protection criteria may not be satisfied in certain base station deployment scenarios
Harmful interference to radio altimeters from signals operating outside their band of operation (4200-4400 MHz) was calculated to be possible, which could include signals from future flexible use deployment of 5G systems in the 3500 MHz band around airports and heliports, warranting further investigation into the issue.
Given similarity to Canada's rules (e.g. maximum permitted power level and frequency of operation), France's framework (available only in French) was used as the basis to define the exclusion and protection zones in the proposed revision to SRSP-520, which were developed to protect radio altimeters on aircraft from harmful interference during an airport approach in the landing phase of a flight.
Annex D: Definition of exclusion zones of the Consultation on Amendments to SRSP-520, Technical Requirements for Fixed and/or Mobile Systems, Including Flexible Use Broadband Systems, in the Band 3450-3650 MHz document describes exclusion zones as rectangular areas around airport runways where automated landing is authorized in Canada. Exclusion zones were developed to protect radio altimeters from harmful interference in scenarios where an aircraft is operating at 200 feet above ground–where an error in a radio altimeter reading could be catastrophic for automated landing systems.
Annex E: Provisions applicable to protection zones, E.1 Definition of protection zones of the Consultation on Amendments to SRSP-520, Technical Requirements for Fixed and/or Mobile Systems, Including Flexible Use Broadband Systems, in the Band 3450-3650 MHz document describes protection zones as rectangular areas that extend from the edge of the exclusion zones. For each runway there are two protection zones, each extending from either end of an exclusion zone. Protection zones were developed to protect radio altimeter from harmful interference in scenarios where an aircraft is operating between 200 feet and 1000 feet above ground—a situation where air crew workload is high.
The power flux density (pfd) limit in the protection zones was calculated by taking into account the height of the aircraft at the boundary of the exclusion and protection zones defined in the revision to the SRSP, which is 91.44 metres (300 feet). A power spectral density (PSD) value of -41.5 dBm/MHz was assumed for the received power interference threshold not to be exceeded to avoid harmful interference. This value was estimated by interpolating the interference tolerance mask values specified in figure 9-1 of the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA) report for an aircraft at 200 feet and 1000 feet. This value corresponds to the interference tolerance mask value for a fundamental emission from a base station operating with a centre frequency of 3750 MHz interfering with an aircraft operating using a radio altimeter in RTCA usage category 1. Usage category 1 covers commercial air transport airplanes, both single-aisle and wide-body.
The pfd was calculated as follows:
\[ pfd = PSD {-} 30 {-} 10log_{10}(A_{r}) \]
pfd: is the pfd limit in dBW/MHz at 91.44 metres (300 feet) above ground;
PSD: is the received power interference threshold not to be exceeded to avoid harmful interference to an aircraft operating within the protection zones defined in the revision SRSP-520, assumed to be -41.5 dBm/MHz; and
Ar: is the effective aperture of the receiver antenna, calculated as follows:
\[ A_{r} = \left( \frac {c^{2}} {4 π f^2} \right) \]
c: is the speed of light, assumed to be 3.0 x 108 m/s; and
f: is the centre frequency of the base station, assumed to be 3650 MHz.

Why U.S. pedestrian deaths are at their highest level in almost 30 years
Jun 17, 2019 6:30 PM EST
Arren Kimbel-Sannit, Cronkite School of Journalism Arren Kimbel-Sannit, Cronkite School of Journalism
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-u-s-pedestrian-deaths-are-at-their-highest-level-in-almost-30-years
U.S. pedestrian deaths are at their highest level since 1990. Possible explanations include wider roads, sprawling cities, heavier traffic in residential areas due to navigation apps and increasing distractions from digital devices. And according to victims' families and safety advocates, the problem is a crisis state and local governments have been slow to address. Arren Kimbel-Sannit reports.
Pedestrian deaths are the highest they have been since 1990. Nearly 50,000 people have died on U.S. roads since 2009, according to federal statistics.
The reasons vary. Some blame cell phones and distracted driving. Others say sprawling cities and wide roads are the bigger culprits.
A team of student reporters from the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at Arizona State University has been investigating what victims' families and advocates says are slow changes to a deadly problem.
Here's Arren Kimbel-Sannit with that report.
Arren Kimbel-Sannit:
Above a busy intersection in Los Angeles, a sign cautions motorists to drive with care. It's yards away from where 17-year-old Christian Vega was struck and killed in February.
Vega was killed here on Riverside Drive. Residents have complained that navigation apps have introduced new motorists to the stretch of road that can't safely handle the added traffic.
David De La Torre:
Riverside Drive, it's become a fifth lane of the 5 Freeway.
David De La Torre and other concerned residents have called for safety improvements along the street for years. City engineers approved a left turn signal for the intersection in 2017. But it wasn't installed until after Christian's death, because the city says funding was unavailable.
Across the country, pedestrian deaths are on the rise, jumping from more than 4,000 in 2009 to nearly 6,000 in 2017.
Daisy Villafuerte:
Streets are wider. Streets are so wide that streets are basically freeways sometimes, or they have freeway-like speeds.
Daisy Villafuerte with the advocacy group Los Angeles Walks says the city wasn't designed for walking, which leaves pedestrians vulnerable.
If you try to walk a street, you will spend a good 10 minutes without ever seeing a crosswalk.
Unlike older, denser East Coast cities that were built before automobiles ruled the roads, Sunbelt cities like Phoenix and L.A. were built with cars as the dominant mode of transportation.
Randy Dittberner:
We're seeing an epidemic of pedestrian crashes happening on arterials.
Engineer Randy Dittberner says that pedestrians and vehicles use the same major roadways, which creates conflict.
But that's that's where the pedestrians want to be, just like that's where everybody wants to be. That's the way to get through our cities and towns.
A good example, Southern Avenue in Phoenix. It's where 15-year-old Keshawn Hubanks was killed by a car in December. Hubanks was crossing the street, when, his family says, a driver sped out of her lane and hit him.
His mother, Nydea Richards, found him on the curb.
Nydea Richards:
Once I took his hood off his head, I just knew he was gone.
The Hubanks apartment complex is half-a-mile away from the signal crosswalks on Central and Seventh avenues. That's a long way to walk for people who need to catch a bus to school or work.
And it makes no sense. Kids are going to be kids. I can't sit up and tell you I walk to Central just to go to the Dollar Store.
National advocacy groups say deaths like Keshawn's are more common in low-income areas. It's evident in Southern California, where residents in underserved neighborhoods are waiting for safer streets.
Nury Martinez:
Early infrastructure that a lot of other parts of the city take for granted just never got to this part of the area.
District 6 Council member Nury Martinez knows this intersection lacks some crucial road safety elements, things like sidewalk accessibility ramps.
For a mom who's trying to get to work every morning and drop off her kid a with a stroller, how is that mom supposed to be able to cut across the street and use that sidewalk or that side of the sidewalk when there is not an acceptable way for her to do so?
These ramps are now being built as a part of Vision Zero. It's an initiative that many cities across the country and world have adopted.
The goal for Los Angeles is to have zero traffic fatalities or serious injuries by the year 2025.
But that's the infrastructure needs that I think that we have been waiting for a really long time. We're finally starting to get to make sure that the communities of color in particular, that those needs are starting to get addressed.
Families who have lost loved ones are often the people pushing for change.
Debbie Hsiung:
I think we need to get more people like me, a family who's been affected or a survivor, to actually go to one of their meetings and talk to the residents themselves.
Debbie Hsiung and Phillip Tam started the organization Southern California Families for Safe Streets. They did so after their oldest son, 7-year-old Aidan Tam, was killed while crossing the street.
And, all of a sudden, I saw a driver make a right turn into the crosswalk. Aidan got hit. We ran over. The truck was on top Aidan.
The couple wants safer roads and safer drivers. They know changing laws and minds is a challenge. But it's not impossible.
The European Union has seen a 36 percent decline in pedestrian deaths between 2007 and 2016. Experts say it's because, unlike the U.S., the E.U. has found ways to redesign vehicles and roads to reduce pedestrian deaths.
It should not necessitate a death. It should not necessitate a lawsuit for action to occur.
At the end of the day, community leaders and advocates like de la Torre say they want government agencies to take a more proactive approach to roadway design and pedestrian safety. And while they keep working to make streets safer for pedestrians, the families of Keshawn, Aidan and Christian keep working through their grief.
For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm Arren Kimbel-Sannit with the Cronkite School of Journalism in Phoenix.
And, again, that story came to us from the Howard Center for Investigative Journalism at Arizona State. It's an initiative of the Scripps Howard Foundation.
