In May, a fleet of 10 food-delivery robots was sent to Miami as part of a pilot program funded by the Knight Foundation. The idea behind the Kiwibot robots is to bring down the cost of food delivery.
50 firefighters called in to combat massive Hialeah blaze

HIALEAH, Fla. – City of Hialeah firefighters raced to a massive fire just after 4 p.m. Sunday.
Raging flames could be seen for blocks away near 22nd Street and East 6th Avenue.
“It was a big, big, fire out of control when we got here,” said David Rodriguez, District Chief of the City of Hialeah fire department.
Aerial pictures provided by Hialeah Fire Rescue showed flames engulfing several homes as well as smoke billowing into the air.
“It ended up being a second alarm fire that basically ties up our entire city, so that’s why we called help from the county,” Rodriguez said.
The decision by state and county officials to prioritize Californians 65 and older delayed vaccinations for thousands of farmworkers for several weeks as infections began spreading, prompting growers and doctors to step in to fill the void.
When Monterey County finally reached out to say they had a batch of up to 1,500 vaccine doses for farmworkers, Valadez said no thanks.
“It’s all good,” Valadez wrote to Elsa Jimenez, Monterey’s director of health, in an emailon March 22. “No need to update any further.” In a follow-up interview, Valadez called the state-provided doses “almost a moot point.” They were already running their vaccination site exclusively for farmworkers so they didn’t need them.
