Sally here with the PEN World Voices Festival lineup, a look at female cartoonists in mainstream publications, new work from Cecil Castellucci and Leela Corman, and more.
The PEN World Voices Festival is coming up! Meg Lemke (editor in chief of Mutha Magazine, chair of the Comics and Graphic Novel Committee for the Brooklyn Book Festival, and guest editor of PEN America’s Illustrated PEN series) is making sure that comics are well represented throughout the festival (see poster above!), and female creators especially are being given plenty of space to make some noise. From Rokudenashiko, to Roz Chaste, to Julia Gfrorer, to Gabrielle Bell, female cartoonists from all corners of the comics community are getting together to talk shop and share their work and their opinions. Please make an effort to get to these events and support all of the cartoonists and artists who will be lifting their voices during the festival.
Hazel Cills wrote a detailed report for MTV News on the current place of female cartoonists in mainstream publications. It’s a good moment to take notes, as it was announced recently that Bob Mankoff, the cartoon editor for The New Yorker, would be stepping down after 20 years in the role. Emma Allen will be picking up the reins in a few weeks (while maintaining her role as an editor for the magazine’s Daily Shouts section) and it goes without saying that she’s interested in hiring more female cartoonists. The New Yorker, along with other mainstream publications (especially in their print form), is a “notoriously hard place to submit cartoons” at the best of times, and despite the efforts of editors and staff here and there, comparatively few women succeed in getting their work published with any regularity.
“Female illustrators make less money than their male counterparts on average and still have a long way to go when it comes to winning awards. The first Herblock Prize for editorial cartooning that was given to a woman went to Jen Sorensen in 2014, but just last year the prestigious comic artist award Angoulême Grand Prix nominated 30 men and zero women (which caused many male cartoonists, including Daniel Clowes and Chris Ware, to ask to be removed from the list). So while publications are seeking to diversify the bylines of writers and artists, when it comes to the artwork and cartoons published alongside them, the conversation is just getting started.“
The article serves as both a look at the current state of things, and a brief crash-course in the history of female cartoonists (and the wall of white males that they’ve been beating against for a century and more). It brings up an interesting note too about the “self-censoring” that women and POC creators apply to their work, knowing that white male characters are more likely to grab the attention of white male editors.
” “As women we tend to self-censor a lot more,” illustrator and Maryland Institute College of Art professor Shreyas R Krishnan says. “Whether it’s OK to put something in the work or not purely because it doesn’t conform to the default that’s been established.” Krishnan describes working, as an Indian woman, on a commissioned illustration of a female musician of color for white, male art directors. “I tend to abstract skin color, using blue or purple, so that’s what I did,” she says. “But then the art director was like, ‘No, we need her to look like what she looks like,’ and I was like [laughs], ‘Sure, I can do that, I just wasn’t sure if you guys would want it that way.’ I was assuming they might not because they were white men.” “
There are many more interesting viewpoints and thoughts in the article – read the whole thing HERE.
Although she is still working on Shade, the Changing Girl, Cecil Castellucci has another comics writing project coming from Dark Horse very soon. Soupy Leaves Home is “a Depression-era hobo odyssey about a young girl fleeing her stifling home to live life free on the rails under the mentorship of an elder vagabond who sees the world a little bit differently than most.” It’s a story that Cecil has been thinking about and working on since 2008. Paste Magazine sat down with her recently to talk about the comic.
“Paste: Pearl’s dad isn’t her only obstacle—even other women in her life try to force her into the role of a dutiful daughter. Was it important to you to address gender inequality of the era in addition to Pearl’s specific familial situation? And did your research lead you to any real-world tales of women hoboes living undercover as men?
Castellucci: Absolutely it was important. Her family was, as were many others, still reeling from the Great Depression. That definitely plays a part in the dynamic that is going on there, which you can see on page one. Pinched times affect people and how and what they try to hold on to. I think for Soupy’s family, gender dynamics and the idea of being proper and what is proper is what they cling to. You have to remember in 1932 a bobbed haircut was considered scandalous. Pants on women were still kind of weird. [White] women had only gotten the vote a decade earlier. Bennington College, while not the first women’s college, opened its doors that year. Soupy saw herself as a different kind of woman than what her family saw. She thinks of herself as becoming a modern woman, and while the idea about what that meant was emerging, it was still a very difficult road for a girl. Frankly, it still is. And while there was no particular girl or woman hobo that I can point to in my research, every book and documentary and fictional film about hoboes includes girls and women who rode the rails. They oftentimes traveled as boys, not only for safety reasons but for the freedom and ease it granted them.“
Read the rest of the interview HERE – look for the comic on shelves soon.
There is an excerpt from Leela Corman‘s graphic novel-in-progress – Victory Parade – on Tablet Magazine. The story is about a Jewish American soldier named Sam Arensberg who helps “liberate a concentration camp – but the horrors he witnesses haunt his dreams“. See the excerpt HERE.

In 2008 we applied a screening method to estimate the total reduction in CO2 facilitated by the application of our enzymes. The method is based on conventional product lifecycle assessment (LCA, in accordance with ISO 14040). The outcome of the calculations is our carbon footprint, in other words the sum of emissions from suppliers of energy and raw materials, emissions from enzyme production, and the emission reductions achieved from the use of enzymes by our customers. The project has undergone third-party review by PriceWaterhouseCoopers’ LCA experts.
For 2007 our carbon footprint has been estimated at 25 million tons of CO2. This means that using enzyme technology instead of conventional technologies has led to considerable reductions in emissions. Extrapolation indicates that corresponding emission reductions in 2008 were around 28 million tons of CO2.
The estimation of the 2007 carbon footprint is the starting point for the 2008 estimate and our 2009 target.

Ford announced today that pre-production of the Ford F-150 Lightning has begun at their new Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, Michigan. The automaker also announced reservations for the all-electric pickup truck have now reached 150,000.
That is an increase of more than 20,000 since the last total was provided two weeks ago on September 2, 2021 by North American Product Communications Director Mike Levine.
To help support the development of the Lightning, and their future EVs, Ford also committed another $250 million to increase production capacity. Another 450 jobs will also be created as a result at the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, Van Dyke Electric Powertrain Center, and the Rawsonville Components Plant.
The extra money and jobs will help the automaker double their F-150 Lightning production capacity from an original plan of around 40,000 trucks per year to 80,000. Ford first announced the plan to increase production capacity last month.
“We knew the F-150 Lightning was special, but the interest from the public has surpassed our highest expectations and changed the conversation around electric vehicles. So we are doubling down, adding jobs and investment to increase production. This truck and the Ford-UAW workers who are assembling it in Michigan have a chance to make history and lead the electric vehicle movement in America,” said Bill Ford, executive chair, Ford Motor Company.
Along with the announcement, Ford also released images of the first pre-production units rolling through the production line. The automaker is targeting a spring 2022 launch with 15,000 units available after launch, and another 55,000 rolling out in 2023.

I can do anything. I have learned this truth this past year. I have been on a hard journey of recovery. I could have died, but God gave me a second chance to live, and life is a precious gift. I am doing my best to live fully, to treasure the life that I have been given.
I want to share the hope that I have. I want to ignite a flicker of hope in others, reminding them that anything is possible.
I spent 2 months in a deep coma, at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, where I could not talk, or walk, or even move on my own. From July until October, I was at Holland Bloorview, a children’s rehab hospital. In August, when I was at home visiting my family, on my dad’s birthday, I spoke my first sentences. This past school year, I have spent at home with therapists, teachers and support workers, and I have relearned how to walk, balance, think and communicate. I am recovering.
Our attitudes are very important. They shape us. They have a huge impact on life. It is important to not face each day with a crummy attitude. Instead, put on a smile, be thankful, and face each day with hope and strength.
“Life is 10% what happens to us, and 90% of how we react to it.” We can’t control everything that happens to us, but we can control our attitudes. Expect the unexpected - something totally out of the ordinary, and when that happens, you’ll be ready to embrace it, whatever “it” is.
Over the last year, I have gone through many mixed emotions. There were times at night, when I felt like giving up, but God gave me hope. In the morning, I awoke with a new perspective, renewed faith, and determination. When hard times come your way, when the unexpected happens, do not lose hope or give up. Have faith, a positive attitude and you’ll find strength for each step of your journey. Thank you for encouraging me in mine.
One last note, before I sign off, possibly for the summer: Lydia and I will be guests on 100 Huntley Street on Wednesday July 10, in the morning. We will be sharing about our experiences this past year: about a loving and faithful God who can hold us and care for us, in every situation, in every moment.
Until we blog again, remember Romans 12:12: Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

Back in 2008, trumpeter, composer and arranger, Mathew Halsall founded Gondwana Records, cutting a new path for the UK jazz scene – A label that’s foundation pivoted on supporting Manchester musicians and exposing new directions in style and ability. Ten years on Gondwana has absorbed an impressive roster of artists and a sublime catalogue of releases.
On the 21st September, Allysha Joy’s debut long player landed, taking a solo excursion away from her best known work with Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70 over the past two years. Drawing you in with her alluring husky vocal style with tones that are simultaneously raw and smooth, Alysha also lays down the keys and adds intricate poetry to her amalgamation of folk, soul, jazz and beats.
The record opens up with ‘FNFL’ – An introduction of spaced out synths and vocal chants leads quickly into a deep uptempo bass loop, sprinkled with creeping rhodes and Alysha’s melancholic attack on the verse. An intimate yet large sound rolling over crunchy hi hats and popping snares, gradually evolving into a luscious downtempo groove. The mood shifts into lower gear with ‘Selfish’, a breezy head nodder showcasing Allysha’s accomplished vocal stance, laced with chunky bass licks and floating keys. ‘Honestly’ follows suit with its sense of a softly spoken word lullaby blended with a bubbling low key soundscape.
The album meanders through shifting tempos and moods, yet always focuses on a tight and compact rhythm. A stripped down sound with a big and bold impact. Allysha adds a sense of yearning and progressive energy, taking us on a musical journey of uptempo rides and laid back detours. This is all pieced together with atmospheric interludes such as the horn swelling, percussive and tribal vibes of ‘Doom’, or the simple shuffle and lazy off-beat of ‘Eagle’ with its squelchy keys and poetic rap. ‘Know Your Power’ is the stand out track here for me, with its propulsive rhythm conjuring connections in my mind with Art Ensemble Of Chicago, lacing spiritual jazz of the past with Allysha’s soaring vocals adding a modern expression amongst a horn heavy, bass driving, drum shuffling hypnosis.
This album highlights to me, a new breed and connection of what is happening now in jazz, soul and hip hop. Arrangements that respect an mpc sampled beat as much as they do a jazz kit. Basslines that are as happy looped as they are played live and direct. Vocals that breathe on jazz pioneers of the past yet stand distinctive and truly strong in a new generation of musicians.
Allysha’s upcoming tour starts off in Australia in late September, finding its way to the UK on October 20th at The Roundhouse in London as part of the Gondwana Records 10 Year celebrations, followed by a show at The Soup Kitchen in Manchester on the 21st.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Northwest Indiana will lose a 140,000-square-foot distribution center and as many as 150 jobs to Chicago's south side, the company announced last week.
The current Whole Foods Market distribution center located in Munster, Indiana, will relocate to the Pullman neighborhood on the south side of Chicago.
Whole Foods Market Midwest Regional President Michael Bashaw said the new location would allow the grocery chain to "more conveniently serve our 25 Chicagoland locations."
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel used the announcement to take a shot at neighboring Indiana, with whom Chicago and Illinois as a whole often compete for jobs.
“This is another great day for the Pullman/Roseland community and another bad day for Indiana, and I’m a very happy person," Emanuel said during the announcement Thursday, according to DNAInfo.com .
In a press release from Emanuel's office, the city said it will consider approximately $7.4 million in tax increment financing assistance for Whole Foods' development costs.

Plant-based burger maker Impossible Foods Inc. on Wednesday announced a partnership with major meat supplier OSI Group, a long-time producer of patties for fast-food chains, as it ramps up to meet demand from consumers and restaurants including Burger King.
Burger King started offering the Impossible Whopper in April in 59 stores in and around St. Louis, and is expected to launch nationally in the United States, which would put the plant-based Whopper on the menu in about 7,000 Burger Kings.
The partnership between the vegan burger maker and one of the biggest meat suppliers comes as young, environmentally conscious consumers are feasting on plant-based patties and sausages.
“We got ourselves into a supply-demand imbalance in which we frankly just did not anticipate the level of demand that came from consumers,” said Sheetal Shah, Impossible Foods’ senior vice-president of product and operations.
Shares of rival vegan burger company Beyond Meat Inc. are up more than 700 per cent since it went public in May. Beyond Meat earlier this week forecast its revenue would rise more than 170 per cent in 2019.
Privately-held OSI, based in Aurora, Ill., has been supplying McDonald’s Corp. for about six decades and has 65 facilities in 17 countries.
Mr. Shah said California-based Impossible Foods and OSI will both be investing in OSI facilities to produce the plant-based burger patties and that multiple facilities in the Chicago area will start supplying Burger King and eventually other customers as well. The investment details were not disclosed.
When asked whether Impossible would be serving McDonald’s, too, Mr. Shah declined to comment on customers, but said: “I see no reason why we shouldn’t be able to go anywhere and everywhere.”
When it comes to plant-based meat substitutes, “Its time and place is right now,” said Kevin Scott, senior executive vice-president for OSI North America. “The work that’s been done in the sector on our behalf and other manufacturers and companies like Impossible Foods are really narrowing that gap to a point of overall consumer acceptance.”
Just three months after its IPO, Beyond Meat this week said it was raising more funds in a stock offering to expand its manufacturing facilities, which are also stretched by booming demand.
Smelling the sizzling opportunity, major meat packers like chicken producer Perdue Foods and Canadian packaged meat producer Maple Leaf Foods Inc. have also launched vegan meat substitute products.

Loro Parque Foundation dedicated the weekend to raising awareness about the status of the vaquita, the world’s most endangered cetacean, which is on the verge of extinction. On the occasion of the celebration of the International Day to Save the Vaquita, the Foundation organised various activities in Animal Embassy – its headquarters in Loro Parque – which alerted Parque visitors to the imminent disappearance of the species.
The exhibition of a large net with 18 vaquitas hanging from it – the number estimated by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature that remain in the world – that visitors could paint and personalise as they passed through Animal Embassy, had a significant impact. It was a graphic representation of the agonising situation faced by these cetaceans, which seem so difficult to save from extinction.
Also, as part of this campaign, the Loro Parque Foundation has joined the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums (AMMPA) in distributing a video that gives a voice to the marine vaquitas and can be viewed at the following link: http://wildlensinc.org/wildlifespeaks/vaquitapsa/english.
Supporting a cause such as that of the vaquitas, both the Loro Parque Foundation and Loro Parque reiterate the importance of zoos and aquariums for the conservation of endangered species by creating a genetic reserve to ensure their survival. In addition, they strengthen the importance of their role in increasing existing knowledge about the different species, because all the information that has been provided by the breeding of other cetaceans under human care could be applied, for example, to the vaquitas.
Although it may be too late to breed these cetaceans of the Gulf of California under human care, and thus avoid their extinction, their case should serve as an example for the future, to protect other species against this fatal outcome that, in the case of the vaquitas, seems imminent.

It seems like almost daily bitcoin is being mentioned in traditional media and other news outlets. Either a new company announces they will begin accepting bitcoins or some new bitcoin related product or servic is released. It seems like there is no stopping the crypto currency's momentum as more and more people become aware of what bitcoin is and start buying or mining bitcoins themselves. Some of the companies may be unknown start-ups but there are also many large, highly reputable corporations. Well now you can include Microsoft to that list. While you cannot buy a new surface tablet with bitcoins, they are promoting another bitcoin related item on the Bing search engine. Now you can actually get bitcoins from Bing, via their Bing Rewards program which awards points for doing searches or other easy tasks that can be traded in for all kinds of items. All you need to do is use the Bing search engine and you accumulate points each day. Once you save up enough points you can use them to get different rewards such as gift cards from many different retailers and access to services such as hulu plus or Xbox Live. There are also different sweepstakes and giveaways that you can enter to win various items. And now with the newest giveaway you can win $500 worth of bitcoins! Although you can't use your bitcoins to buy anything from Microsoft, I think this is a step in the right direction for the Redmond, Washington based company. Who knows, maybe in the future you will be able to shop from the Microsoft store and use bitcoins to pay. Even if this never happens maybe it will introduce bitcoin to people who have never heard of it before and make others more intrigued so they want to find out more about crypto coins, especially bitcoin. The more people who know about it and tell others about it, the more the currency will be worth because more and more people will be wanting to join in on the crypto coin revolution.

Even the BBC’s former director believes the network’s coverage of events in Israel is unacceptable, slanted and tainted by its anti-Israel bias.
Former Chairman of the BBC, Lord Michael Grade, blasted the BBC over its coverage of the recent Palestinian violence in Israel, in a letter to BBC’s Director of News and Current Affairs, James Harding.
In his complaint, Grade, the former head of the BBC, ITV, and Channel 4, said that the BBC coverage was at times misleading and failed to provide a wider context of what is an “undoubtedly complex issue.”
Grade, a member of the House of Lords for the Conservative Party, criticized the BBC’s inability “to fulfill its obligation to viewers” by not showing examples of Palestinian Authority (PA) officials praising the terror attacks and calling for more. The former BBC Chairman underlined that Palestinian incitement, “has played an undeniable part in stoking tension recently and is an important part of the story.”
The complaint was directed specifically at a report by Orla Guerin, broadcast last Sunday, about the recent wave of Palestinian attacks across Israel.
Grade criticized the report’s apparent promotion of “equivalence between Israeli victims of terrorism and Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli security forces in the act of carrying out terror attacks.”
He highlighted that: “An emotional interview is conducted with the father of a dead Palestinian youth who had been killed committing a fatal terror attack. However, the report failed to show the emotional distress caused to Israelis by any of these recent attacks. This is inexcusable.”
Grade continued: “Additionally, it was improper of the correspondent to claim that “there’s no sign of involvement by militant groups”, before immediately showing footage of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) banners at the home of a 19 year-old terrorist who carried out a deadly knife attack at Lions Gate in Jerusalem on 3rd October. PIJ is a well-known Palestinian terror organization and it has since claimed responsibility for the attack and praised by Hamas, another internationally proscribed terror organization. This directly misleads viewers,” the letter, first published by the British Conservatives Friends of Israel (CFOI), read.
Commenting on the footage of an elderly Palestinian man confronting Israeli soldiers in Hebron who were firing gas canisters, Grade criticized the lack of description of the wider context. He said: “The carefully selected footage failed to show the stone-throwing protestors prompting the presence and action of Israeli security forces. While this footage is entirely worthy of broadcast, I strongly feel that viewers lacked visual and oral description of the wider context thereby limiting their awareness and understanding of what is an undoubtedly complex issue.
‘Not the First Time’
The letter went on to state: “Regrettably, this is not the first time the standard of reporting and impartiality has been unsatisfactory in recent weeks. On Saturday 3rd October, I was disappointed to see the BBC News website publish a misleading and counter-factual headline: ‘Palestinian shot dead after Jerusalem attacks kills two’. I note reports that this headline underwent four revisions following public criticism.”

The BBC has over the years faced numerous accusations over its pro-Palestinian bias and slanted reporting.

Evalyna is a SSHRC Postdoctoral Researcher and a MEOPAR Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo. Her research focuses on how diverse and competing priorities are navigated in policies and practices addressing socio-environmental problems, especially related to flood risk governance. To examine these complex challenges, Evalyna applies an interdisciplinary lens and innovative stakeholder engagement approaches.
In my postdoctoral research, Building Capacity for Difficult Conversations on Flood Risk Management in Canadian Coastal Communities, I address the need for social innovation in flood risk governance by developing the Tough Conversations Protocol. Flood risk management is contentious because it touches on core values of public safety, property rights, and economic security. Inspired by my research in the Netherlands and experiences co-designing innovative techniques, I incorporate into my Protocol engagement best practices, role-playing simulation, and an online training on conflict resolution. My goal is to enhance collective problem-solving to address flooding issues in Halifax, NS and Sechelt, BC as part of the FloodGov project.

Obviously they didn't have the means to install a B&M inverter :-) Indeed, you don't necessarilly expect rides of that magnitude in a small seaside resort. However, they didn't even bother to upgrade any of the stalls or even the arcade machines. The removal of the park's two best rides: the Looping Star and the Mary Rose was also very puzzling (unless it was due to maintenance woes).
I do worry about the future of the senic railway: I don't know what provisions its 'listed structure' status has for ensuring its continued operation. It would be a great shame to see it left redundant and slowly deteriorate. I'd much rather see it moved to another park, even if it meant moving it to a park outside the UK.

IPL 2021: KL Rahul reveals the reason behind renaming Kings XI Punjab
Kings XI Punjab have changed their name to Punjab Kings ahead of IPL 2021.
View : 3.4K
2 Min Read
IPL 2021 will be a new beginning for Punjab Kings. Ahead of the fourteenth season of the tournament, the Punjab-based IPL franchise have rechristened themselves to Punjab Kings from Kings XI Punjab. They have also unveiled a new logo as they eye a fresh start in the competition after years of failure to win the title.
And as Punjab Kings look for a fresh start in IPL, their skipper KL Rahul has revealed the reason behind the franchise’s decision to rename and relaunch. The wicketkeeper-batsman said that unlike the old name, the new name represents more than just the playing 11 as it stands for the whole family. While explaining the reason, Rahul also insisted he liked the old name before exuding confidence that the new name will help the team change its fortunes.
“I liked the name Kings XI but the team is a lot more than just 11 players. We are supposed to be like a family, supposed to feel like a family, supposed to feel like a whole unit. I am quite confident that the change in name will bring us good fortune this year,” said KL Rahul while speaking on Star Sports.
Rahul’s Punjab Kings teammate Chris Gayle also gave his opinion on the new name of the team and said he loved it. He also agreed with Rahul’s view that the new name stands for the whole family and not only for the 11 players on the field. Gayle opined that the new name will get all the members of the team more involved.
“Absolutely, I love it. Sometimes, it’s good to have a change as well. I like what KL said. It’s not about the 11 players. It’s going to get everyone more involved. Punjab Kings is the way to go,” said Gayle.
Punjab Kings eye their maiden title:
Punjab Kings will be hoping that their luck on the field finally changes after the change in name and the logo. The Punjab-based franchise has one of the strongest batting lineups in the team but has struggled for consistency, especially in recent years. They have not made it to the playoffs since their maiden appearance in IPL final in 2014. In IPL 2020, they finished at the sixth spot after managing only 6 wins from 14 games.


Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014 - NEWS RELEASE
San Diego - Today Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer, City Council President Todd Gloria and Council President Pro Tem Sherri S. Lightner released an updated Climate Action Plan for the City of San Diego in front of the solar panels atop the City's Alvarado Water Treatment Plant.
The Climate Action Plan calls for eliminating half of all greenhouse gas emissions in the City and aims for all electricity used in the City to be from renewable sources by 2035.
"By striking a balance between protecting our environment and growing our economy, San Diego can support clean technology, renewable energy and economic growth," Mayor Faulconer said. "I've brought together environmental and business groups to update this plan and move San Diego forward. Let's preserve our children's future and hand down a San Diego that is cleaner than it was when we received it."
The Climate Action Plan is a package of common-sense policies that will benefit San Diego's environment and economy. It will create new jobs in the renewable energy industry, improve public health and air quality, enhance water quality, efficiently use existing resources, increase local energy production, improve quality of life and save taxpayer money.
The plan also clearly identifies steps the Mayor and City Council can take to achieve the 2035 targets. That list includes crafting an ordinance that requires developers to install conduit for solar and electric vehicle charging stations in new construction; creating a renewable energy program; developing a zero waste plan; and changing policy to have a majority of the City's fleet be electric vehicles.
The Climate Action Plan helps achieve the greenhouse gas reduction targets set forth in the 2005 executive order issued by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The City's first Climate Action Plan was approved in 2005 and a commitment to update the plan was included in the City's 2008 General Plan update. This new plan is in draft form until it is reviewed by the public and approved by the City Council.
The Climate Action Plan can be viewed here on the City's website.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT THE CLIMATE ACTION PLAN
Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer: "San Diego is a city that innovates. We are a city that leads. We are a city where our environment is central to our quality of life. That's why I'm proud today to release a plan that will help our communities thrive and create the green jobs of tomorrow."
City Council President Todd Gloria: "This plan demonstrates that San Diego is a progressive leader in addressing climate change, and that we value our people and our environment enough to take such decisive and strong action."
City Council President Pro Tem Sherri S. Lightner: "As a Councilmember representing our coastal communities, I have long advocated for the City of San Diego to adopt a Climate Action Plan to help protect our environment for decades to come. I appreciate all the work that Mayor Faulconer, Council President Gloria, the task force and stakeholders have put into this draft. I'm looking forward to adopting a final plan that takes advantage of new and innovative technologies, conserves valuable resources, achieves energy and water efficiencies, and provides incentives to homeowners and business owners to upgrade their properties."
Stephen Heverly, managing director of the Equinox Center: "Equinox Center is encouraged by Mayor Faulconer's proposed climate plan because it includes goals for creating a resilient city with a healthy environment and strong economy, while meeting greenhouse gas reduction targets."
Jason Anderson, president of Cleantech San Diego: "Cleantech San Diego applauds the efforts of the Mayor and the City Council on the release of San Diego's Climate Action Plan. Not only will the identified goals and actions preserve our environment and quality of life, but they also will help boost our economy. Whether it's reducing a building's energy consumption or integrating renewable energy resources, the solutions exist today and the companies that can provide these solutions are right here in San Diego."
Matthew Adams, Vice President of the Building Industry Association of San Diego County: "We appreciate the Mayor's effort to craft a realistic and comprehensive Climate Action Plan to achieve state mandated greenhouse gas reductions. As the representatives of those who construct the most energy efficient buildings in the nation - if not the world - the BIA looks forward to a productive dialogue as the process moves forward."
Chanelle Hawken, executive director of public policy for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce: "We applaud Mayor Faulconer's collaborative approach and focus on green jobs and technology. We look forward to the public discussion, and working to make San Diego the most business-friendly region in the state."
Leslie Kilpatrick, president of the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS: "Mayor Faulconer brought everyone to the table. He listened and he put together a plan all of us can get behind. We're happy to see a process that's inclusive, that puts San Diegans first, and includes groups like ours that are key to growing our economy."

Happy Thanksgiving to our American readers! While you all are sitting around eating turkey, or perhaps nodding off after a big meal, check out Kelly Clarkson and Brynn Cartelli’s performances from Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The 3 hour extravaganza airs on NBC every year and is a beloved turkey day tradition, here in the States.
Kelly is in the midst coaching season 15 of The Voice. The Top 11 contestants will perform for your votes on Monday. But in the meantime, enjoy Kelly performing her single “Heat” from her latest album Meaning of Life.
Last spring, 15 year old Brynn Cartelli won Season 14 of The Voice as a member of Team Kelly. Here she is on the Universal Kids themed float performing her coronation single “Walk My Way.” Thankfully it doesn’t look too chilly outside in New York City. Also, there was concern that winds would keep the iconic balloons off the parade route. Hooray for the weather cooperating.

Family friendly fantasy movies have a long history of big business in Hollywood, and whether the one currently in theaters soars or flops, audiences can be sure there will soon be another to give it a shot. Netflix is trying their hand at the genre with The School For Good And Evil, directed by Paul Feig and based on a series of young adult novels.
One thing fans might have noticed is that The School For Good And Evil, from an aesthetic, tonal, and content perspective, seems similar to a Disney film, and it would be far from the first film to make fans do a double take. Disney is such an influential and recognizable studio that even movies they had no part in will evoke their style perfectly.
A fairy tale based on the legendary Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia, Anastasia was a critical and commercial success, but Fox Animation Studios’ debut is often confused for a Disney product. Perhaps coming out during the Disney Renaissance, and being a fantastical take on Russian history in the way Pocahontas was for Anglo-American history, did the trick.
One could also be forgiven for thinking Anastasia was released by Disney, given that it’s the brainchild of Don Bluth, a former Disney animator who struck out on his own in the 1980s to establish his own studio. To add to the confusion, now that the company owns the Fox catalog, one could now make the argument that Ana has retroactively become a Disney princess.
Charlotte’s Web is a beloved children’s book, and the animated film adaptation also holds a special place in many fans’ hearts, even by those it traumatized by the movie as kids. The story, of a friendly but timid pig whose life is saved by a resourceful spider, was one of the few times Hanna-Barbera production really took a cue from the House of Mouse.
Some similarities between Charlotte’s Web and contemporary Disney fare are in the plot, since semi-anthropomorphic animals put in peril figured in heavily in post-Walt flicks like The Aristocats and The Rescuers. The musical numbers are another, with the songs actually being penned by Mary Poppins alumni Robert and Richard Sherman.
After Mary Poppins was a massive hit for Disney, United Artists saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as their answer to P.L. Travers’ magical nanny. Based on a book by Ian Fleming of James Bond fame, and featuring songs composed by the Sherman Brothers (again), the film may seem like a Disney imitator, but its sheer imagination still makes it a very fun watch.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang follows the Potts family as they go on a series of adventures in a magical car, a very Disney-esque premise. While the movie doesn’t combine live-action and animation like its Disney contemporaries, the costumes and sets are very over-the-top and colorful, lending everything a larger-than-life quality that feels like a storybook come to life.
One of the more recent entries into the “not Disney but should be Disney” subgenre, Come Away combines the mythos of Peter Pan with that of Alice In Wonderland and puts them in a low-key family drama. It’s an interesting idea, but the COVID-19 pandemic ensured the movie was a box office failure.
Not only does Come Away pay homage to stories already adapted by Disney, it serves as the live-action debut for director Brenda Chapman, who originally had the reins on Pixar’s Brave before being replaced by Mark Andrews. While having some visual similarities to Disney, the tone is very different, being much more somber and less action-packed.
A buddy film about an inquisitive boy who befriends a giant robot, The Iron Giant is a modern classic featuring one of the most lovable robot protagonists. Even though the film was produced by Warner Bros., it has a sense of magic and wonder that feels straight out of Disney’s best, so it’s not shocking director Brad Bird became best known for his work with Pixar.
While The Iron Giant‘s release coincided with the tail-end of the Disney Renaissance, it feels more reminiscent of the studios work in the early oughts, when they experimented with sci-fi elements in Atlantis and Treasure Planet. It also feels like something straight out of Disney Parks’ Tomorrowland, particularly in its wondrous portrayal of space and technology.
The 1990s were a good time for animated movies with environmental messages, but Hanna-Barbera’s Once Upon a Forest is one of the more fascinating. The story of three young animals who go on a quest to find a cure for their friend after she inhales toxic fumes, the movie received fixed reviews and didn’t turn a profit, but ’90s kids may remember it for being surprisingly scary.
Once Upon a Forest‘s characters and visual style brings back memories of Disney offerings like The Rescuers and The Fox and the Hound, which featured talking animals in an otherwise real world setting. In addition, scenes of a forest devastated by poison gas fit in with Disney’s tradition of sneaking in frightening imagery, going all the way back to the days of Walt.
The timeless tale of the free-spirited Maria bringing new joy to the Von Trapp family, The Sound Of Music was wildly successful in its day, and is often considered one of the best musical films. Not only are the Rodgers and Hammerstein-penned songs memorable, it’s heartwarming to watch a family grow closer, particularly when Captain von Trapp softens up.
Even before Disney’s purchase of 20th Century Fox, The Sound Of Music could’ve been mistaken for a particularly lavish Disney movie, from the presence of Julie Andrews to the wholesome, family-friendly tone. Now that fans can watch it on Disney+, it feels like it’s found the perfect home it never had before.
Like fellow E.B. White novel Charlotte’s Web, Stuart Little is a children’s classic that was begging for a (very loose) adaptation. One of the best movies directed by Rob Minkoff (The Lion King), it was a success with both critics and audiences, even spawning a small franchise that continued the titular mouse’s adventures.
Plenty of things link the Columbia released Stuart Little to Disney, beginning with Minkoff being the director of one of the Disney’s Renaissance’s crown jewels. The anthropomorphic animal star and his feline nemeses, in addition to Stuart having to find his family after being kidnapped, also invite comparisons to ’90s Disney films from Homeward Bound to That Darn Cat.
Produced at a time when Disney was finding its feet after Walt’s untimely death, Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory is one of the great odes to imagination that the studio surely wish they made. Despite not being a box office success, the film has built up a sterling reputation, and Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka is a cinematic icon.
Beyond the movie being a whimsical family-friendly musical romp, Willy Wonka himself feels like an eccentric riff on Walt Disney. They’re both geniuses in the field, and the factory feels like Wonka’s answer to Disneyland, with each room being its own “land” with a unique purpose, look, and vibe, particularly the iconic chocolate room.
Along with Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Wizard Of Oz may be the movie that most defines the modern family film. Despite initially failing to turn a profit, Dorothy’s adventures in the land of Oz proved too much for viewers to resist, and the movie is still a perennial favorite for a multi-generational audience.
Not only does The Wizard of Oz have lush visuals that give early Disney’s impressive animation a run for their money, there’s a sense of imagination and wonder in exploring every corner of Oz with Dorothy and friends. The Wizard Of Oz, much like Walt’s classics, also doesn’t hesitate to get creepy, with the Wicked Witch of the West being a source of nightmares for many a young fan.

Every journey has an end.
The Mazatlan aeropuerto is small. U.S. Airways charges twice as much for a ticket as they should and the fact the airplane is only half full going down and three quarter full returning tells volumes about the state of tourism in Mexico. Years of gang killings, drug wars, and poverty in Mexico have taken a toll on traveler’s psyches. No one, except the most resolute, would venture across America’s southern border into a country that so many people die trying to leave.
A sign in the airport says, “End of the Road.”
Alan, Dave and I are waiting in shorts and T shirts to go back to the United States. Winter is going full blast there.
I can see why ancient tribes followed the Bering Strait into the America’s and kept moving till they found more hospitable places to live. Even then each journey had twists and turns and adventurous souls took chances for better results.
Mexico has become the third international ring on Scotttreks right hand but us travelers sometime have to go home to catch our breath.
Roots won’t keep me from packing my bags again when time, money, and imagination conspire.
We are flying back to Arizona where I drive back to New Mexico, Dave drives back to Colorado and Alan drives back to Texas.
Living far from friends and family isn’t a viable excuse anymore for not doing things together.

Daisy finally has her physic powers, even if she's not exactly able to control them. But just when she thought all these paranormal cases in the town of Nightshade were over, some things go wrong in town again. First there's the weird ghost that's been causing disturbances in town, making stuff break and making eerie noises. And then there's the fact that Ryan, her new boyfriend hasn't been paying much attention to her and seems to be holding his own secret. Oh, and let's not forget the gorgeous new guy in town, Duke Sherrard, with his charming accent and seemingly interested personality in Daisy. Did I mention Duke thinks he's a fortune teller? Daisy's a little skeptical about that. But what about that teacher Duke predicted was going to die? And then did? Of course there's also those mysterious werewolf attacks in Nightshade. Daisy is determined to put this puzzle together and figure things out, and maybe figure out what's going on with this Duke Sherrard. And maybe find out why Ryan is hanging out with another girl? Daisy and her physic powers go on a fun adventure to put the pieces back together and solve this paranormal mystery.
Even though I liked the first book better, this book was good too. The only thing that bothered me was how Daisy kept on ignoring Ryan and didn't give him a chance to explain himself. But I guess that's just the nature of the book. I thought that the culprit of the book was really predictable, unfortunately. I mean I knew who it was and I knew what Ryan was hiding way before even Daisy did. For those matters, this book didn't appeal to me much but was still a good read. I'm hoping that the next book, Dead is So Last Year is going to be better than this one.
Daisy was a good character, full of humor and always looking out for her sister. She's a little impatient with Ryan, but it's kind of the whole point of the book I guess. The plot of this book was better than the last book because it was a little more complicated, with all the new characters, (werewolves, Duke, Ryan's friend). The ending was really really good I have to say, it even made me cry a little!
All in all, as predictable as this book is, its very good.

Miami: A Color Story
Before going to Miami last weekend for one of my close friend's bachelorette trips, I had a vision of what the city would look and feel like. I pictured sunny skies and beautiful women with surgically enhanced backsides in thong bikinis and Spring Breakers painting the town red with alcohol-fueled nights.
The Miami I saw was more than bikinis and parties - it was full or art, of retro architecture, of hotels still standing strong and beautiful despite the damage the Hurricane caused. Miami is known to be a city of color and I couldn't help but notice how vibrant everything was. Flamingo pink sunsets, the fresh green of those fun and elegant palm trees, the electric neon signage and faded pastel store fronts that capture vintage Miami in all it's distinctive glory. I saw more families and couples on South Beach and talking to the locals they even said the demographics have been changing. The party element will sure always be there but now it's a bit more family friendly, a bit more tame.
I fell in love with the vibrant, colorful city that speaks to people through fashion and art and local breweries and beachside restaurants where you eat tapas while your toes are in the sand, and rainbow colored diners with potted plants and tattooed waiters inside.
Here are my three favorite places in Miami that I went to with the bride-to be Kate and her bridal party Nikki and Bethany.
The Museum of Ice Cream
The Museum of Ice Cream in Miami has been on my instagram feed for what feels like forever and I can see why. Not only is it a blogger's paradise, but a great production with an enthusiastic staff. Each room has a theme and perfect photo shoot opportunities. Swinging banana chairs in a forest of pink palms, a retro pink diner serving up ice cream with a cherry on top, a tiny room you crawl into that looks like you are surrounded by bubble wrap. Each room was girly, delightful and breathtaking to see. I loved how fun it was and how the staff kept a perfect pace. It is an absolute must see!
Wynwood Art District
I absolutely loved the inspiring, colorful Wynwood Art District of Miami. It's amazing to see a once-struggling neighborhood become revitalized with art and city talent. Local breweries, vintage boutiques, cafes with gorgeous porches and the iconic Wynwood walls with the traveling street murals are all a vibrant slice of Miami. It's hard not to fall in love with the walls of gorgeous faces, geometric and eye-catching cityscapes, and unique takes on pop art.
I really loved my brunch at Wynwood Diner. It's a rainbow dreamland on the outside and inside a retro diner with hipster, artistic sensibilities. We sat in a cozy booth and I ordered fluffy pancakes and had the tastiest mimosas. Inside I noticed how fashionable and stylish everyone was. The Wynwood walls brought out so many younger people in packs looking for the perfect Instagram shot.
The Tavern is a full service bar and restaurant in Hotel Croydon right in mid-beach Miami. We had dinner and drinks there. I ordered the veggie panini and it was both light and fulfilling. Afterwards, Kate and I grabbed some drinks and went to the rooftop to overlook the sparkly Miami city scape. The wind was a bit cooler and we saw people hanging out, talking also enjoying the night. It was a gorgeous hotel with lots of art and character.
My time in Miami was an inspiring, color story. I feel ready to write poems and take pictures full of sparkle and magic.

Most of the poker books I read treat the field in a fashion manner. There’s good cause for thisparticular. Poker is this a multi player game, so which all area exerts different consideration. Even for those which can be organized and methodical tribe, this publication might force you to feel somewhat like Alice in Wonderland. This publication is similar to having an enjoyable and playful conversation with Mike Caro. Additionally it is greatly a inspirational novel and simple to learn and find out. Not motivational in the way of many”Peterpan” variety infomercials, but rather very good advice sprinkled with persuasive upbeat comments. To learn this publication is to feel like Mike Caro is mentoring you. The truth is that this book is actually the identical stuff he gives in his live conventions.
You will find quite good versions of information covering a little array of the areas. By way of example, he might cite that a predicament telling contrary to bluffing, but it is comprised in a train of idea that touched on other things as well. So, in the event that you (maybe remaining organized and systematic ) are on the lookout for all his guidance on bluffing in a succinct spot, well um, that is how this novel functions. However, it does perform. If you believe about that novel for a train of idea as a rabbit trail, you’d be wise to give it a go.
He begins off with what I think is more of how to comprehend the game of poker BandarQQ Online plus assembles on this with references to deciding when to play straight-forward when to try deception. He discusses self-control and discipline. He clarifies some hands are best played with most opponents or just how some hands must just be used a couple of competitions. He urges just how exactly to play against tight or loose competitions and whether or not they truly are aggressive or timid.
In Addition, there Are strategic kind segments on Money Management, 7 Card Stud, 7 Card Stud Highlow, Hold’em, Draw Poker and other forms of sport, also a section on Tells and Behavior. The portion Tournament guidance is likewise very helpful, specially to the wilder lower limitation games. Certainly one of his writings can be known: Greatest Tip Countdown, (and I agree) but it is not really a complete summary of all the tips he offers in the book. You will have to read the whole book for it. I specially love his very last chapter: Closing Winning Affirmation. It is a reminder that buys will probably run awful in addition to run well, to mind out yourself to play with your very best match. He recommends a little form of mantra statement for saying yourself in those moments you might gain from favorable affirmation.
I really do suggest this novel, but you should be prepared as it is different compared to many all the other poker novels on the market. I think that Mr. Caro is also different than most of those poker professionals out there there way too. Beginners through advance players could both benefit as a result, but that I wonder if beginners would love the information up to now . The best method I can think to exemplify that the level this novel will work at is this: When you play poker, and just before you produce a determination, you may possibly hear that”inner voice” that is nudging you”not to execute it”, or”yes, can do it”; nevertheless you ignore it later kick your self for not listening. You learn, generally the tough way to discover this”inner voice” or conscience and listen to it.
Based on what intense your understanding curve is, sooner or later you understand you need to develop that sort of comprehension and subject in your match. This”voice of reason” is where Mike Caro is arriving out of. You may probably only love his advice just and you listen to a or anybody else’s for that matter”voice of reason”. Putting it the other way, you’ve got to think out what it is that you do. If you’re hoping for a magic bullet of blow with blow plays in Blackjack books, which tells you just how you can play with poker, this particular novel is not for you, and it really is a pity. When there’s an ethereal part of poker which might end up like trying to nail gelatin to your wall…I am certain Mike Caro can do it.

Jose Calderon Out 2-4 Weeks
Calderon, 35, sustained the hamstring injury during Saturday’s 100-103 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. After regular starting point guard D’Angelo Russell went down with a knee injury, Calderon stepped in. It’s fair to say Calderon has done a solid job, in Russell’s absence. In 14 games, Calderon has averaged 4.7 points, 2.6 assists and 2.2 rebounds. With Calderon out, Marcelo Huertas looks set to start. Lakers fans should also expect to see Jordan Clarkson playing the point more than usual.
The Lakers have major injury problems, with Russell (knee), Nick Young (calf) and Larry Nance Jr. (knee) already sidelined. Head coach Luke Walton has dealt with these injuries well so far, with the Lakers currently holding a 10-12 record on the season. But with the Lakers already down to their third string point guard, just 22 games into the season, it’s fair to say the team may struggle in the near future.
The Lakers are not expected to make any roster moves in response to Calderon’s injury. Russell is expected back later this week, baring any setbacks.
The Lakers next game is against the Utah Jazz on Monday.

Dom of the Dead by Virginia Nelson
Dom of the Dead is a beautifully sweet tale with interesting twists and turns of grief, living life to the fullest and accepting your own desires. This is a story of being too afraid to reach for what you really want until it is too late. We see Carson, the female protagonist, going through the early stages of grief when her best friend Randall dies in a motorcycle accident before she had the courage to reach out for more than their “friend zone” relationship.
Randall is a dominant man who has dreamed of his best friend for years but did not want to “taint” Carson and their relationship. Throwing a fantasy one night stand style dating service into the mix is an interesting way to throw the two characters together with Randall as a ghost. The end is a beautiful twist of fate – reminding you to reach out for life and hold on with all your strength while you can, after all tomorrow is never promised.
The reader is a good choice. You can believe she is Carson with the intonations and strength of words of a woman struggling through grief. The author and reader combination do a beautiful job of bringing this twisting story together.
