PlayStation rectifies store closure for older devices

Christian Carlos. Peninsula 360 Press [P360P].

Today, Jim Ryan, president, CEO of Sony Interactive Entertainment, announced that the store PlayStation Store - which currently offers its service for older PlayStation 3 consoles (launched in 2006), the PlayStation Vita (2011) - will continue to operate.

Upon further reflection," Ryan says, "it's clear that we made the wrong decision here," referring to the announcement of the closing of the PlayStation Store on July 2 for the PlayStation 3 and for the PlayStation Vita on August 27, which will only be effective for the PlayStation Portable.

The decision comes with criticism of Sony Interactive Entertainment, especially its executive management, for making the decision to close the PlayStation Store on those legacy platforms, which would mean that access to all video game development from the past 15 years would be lost.

Another criticism opened up the debate of planned obsolescence for current and previous generation Sony-produced consoles, after it was discovered that both as digital and physical licenses - the video games - would lack functionality once the PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5 could no longer keep track of the time and date after the CMOS battery power runs out in the future and cannot connect to the PlayStation Store due to its eventual shutdown.

This deliberate failure on Sony's part was proven by Spawn Wave, who set about the task of disassembling a PlayStation 4 only to discover that the device "could be rendered unusable years later".

In the video, it is demonstrated that, after removing the battery that keeps the internal clock running -emulating its lack of power- from the game console; the device loses the ability to run any kind of physical software or software purchased through the PlayStation Store to emulate a scenario where the service has been interrupted as it was originally planned to do with the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Store Vita.

Environmentalists Halt Work on Redwood City Salt Ponds

Cargill Salt, a privately held Minnesota-based company, released its decision this week, ending a nearly 12-year federal dispute.

After years of court battles, several environmental groups that have sought to protect Redwood City's salt ponds can finally claim victory, as the company Cargill Salt announced that it will not appeal a judge's decision, which prohibited it from building a giant real estate development in the area, which since March has been subject to the federal Clean Water Act.    

The Minnesota-based private company released its decision this week, ending a nearly 12-year federal dispute.

In March of this year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) withdrew an appeal made during the administration of Donald Trump for the possible expansion and development of the Cargill property, which would have meant a business of billions of dollars, at the expense of ecological loss in the place.

Thus, the land, being subject to the 1972 Clean Water Act, sharply limits what can be built in the area, a ruling that environmentalists widely applauded, as for years they pointed out that the land, which sits at sea level and was once part of San Francisco Bay before it was leveed in 1902, should be restored as tidal wetlands for fish, wildlife and recreation. 

At the time, the groups also argued that any attempt to develop the land in front of the bay is impractical due to sea level rise.

"We are pleased that Cargill saw the light and has withdrawn its appeal," Megan Fluke, executive director of Green Foothills, told the Mercury News.

The activist also called on the company to sell the Redwood City salt ponds for conservation. "In the face of the climate crisis, every acre of wetlands that still have restoration must be protected.

Cargill Salt's recall announcement could mean an EPA ruling aligned with the federal court that salt ponds are part of U.S. waters, which would mean they are protected by the Clean Water Act. 

In this way, the salt ponds - which are at sea level and were part of the bay before it was enclosed by a dike in 1902 - could be converted into tidal wetlands and returned to their natural state.

According to the Mercury News, Cargill spokesman David Smith said in a written statement that salt harvesting operations at the site will continue while the company determines next steps as it currently evaporates water from the 1,365-acre property in "crystallization beds" to make salt for industrial uses.

Smith said the withdrawal is part of the company's goals, which, he said, "remain to protect environmental resources and to work with our Bay Area neighbors to study future uses of the saltworks site."

One of the options for the salinera, is to sell the land to the federal or state government for restoration, however, will have to wait for the next step of the subsidiary belonging to Cargill, the largest U.S. corporation that remains unlisted on the stock exchange.

Notably, in 2003, Cargill sold 16,500 acres of its South Bay salt ponds to the public for $100 million, launching one of the largest wetland restoration efforts ever attempted in the United States.

San Mateo County calls on residents to prepare for earthquakes

San Mateo County calls on residents to prepare for earthquakes
Pamela Cruz. Peninsula 360 Press [P360P].

San Mateo County leaders urged residents to be prepared for natural disasters such as earthquakes as they commemorate the anniversary of the Great Earthquake of 1906 on Sunday. 

"Although we are emerging from the effects of COVID-19 and the risk of another dangerous fire season caused by the drought, there is an ongoing risk of a major earthquake," said Dan Belville, director of the San Mateo County Office of Emergency Services (OES).

In that sense, the official also called on residents to check their emergency supplies and take the necessary measures to be prepared for possible seismic events.

Because April is "Earthquake Prevention Month," the California Office of Emergency Services Early Warning Program (CalOES) reminded people that during an earthquake, seconds count in saving lives.

Dan Belville urged people to download the free MyShake app, which offers early warnings to users, providing seconds before the quake strikes. "It's one of the easiest and most useful actions residents can take in the face of such natural disasters," Bellville said.

"Those precious seconds give users a better opportunity to duck, cover and hold on - cover and hold on if they use a wheelchair," the authority said in a statement.

Earthquake Warning California, the nation's first publicly available statewide warning system, is available on the MyShake application. 

Also, wireless emergency alerts (WEAs), which are text messages the U.S. government issues during emergency situations, including presidential emergencies, imminent threats - fire, earthquake, flood, etc. - and AMBER alerts.

"When an earthquake warning is issued from any of these sources, people should quickly take protective measures to keep themselves safe, such as dropping to the ground, covering their heads with their arms and holding their necks with both hands until the shaking stops. Do not stand in doorways or near glass windows," they said.

In that regard, they noted that San Mateo residents should also sign up for county alerts that, while they will not provide early warning of impending tremors, will provide critical instructions in response.

Number of 911 Calls in San Mateo County on the Rise

Number of 911 Calls in San Mateo County on the Rise
Pamela Cruz. Peninsula 360 Press [P360P].

A little more than a year after San Mateo County Public Safety Communications operators moved to the new Regional Operations Center in Redwood City, the number of 9-1-1 calls per day has reached 800 calls, 200 more than the call center received one day prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This was reported by the San Mateo County Administrator's office, which detailed in a statement that, as of March 16, 2020, the volume of calls for the operators of the emergency number increased significantly. 

However, he noted that there are fewer calls about where to get tested for COVID-19 and which businesses can stay open during the pandemic; instead, there are more about vaccine questions, mental health crises and the need for general medical assistance, especially since there are more people on the road since the state of California lifted its stay-at-home order on Jan. 25, 2021.

In that regard, operators noted that resources such as the 2-1-1 call center, www.smcgov.org, social media postings and public service announcements continue to make a difference in decreasing the number of calls to the center. 

"Protocol within the call center has also remained ongoing over the past year. Increased cleanliness, use of masks, temperature measurement and rearrangement of desks to allow for social distancing continues to keep everyone healthy," the administrator said in a statement. 

Dispatchers also reported that the time spent on each call remains about the same from last year due to the COVID-19 screening protocol that was first implemented by the call center on February 6, 2020 to ask callers about recent travel and flu-like symptoms.

They also detailed that the call volume was particularly high last summer, not only to air quality issues and the fires in South County, but after the May 25, 2020, death of George Floyd in Minneapolis, which sparked protests across the United States, including the Peninsula. 

And when San Mateo County imposed a nighttime curfew on June 2 to help prevent looting and civil unrest by profiteers, the call center answered 1,888 calls in just two days. 

"Last year, it was a very challenging year both personally and professionally for our operators. Despite the workload and personal difficulties some experienced due to COVID-19 with their own families, they showed up every day to serve others, and we couldn't be more proud of our team's resilience and flexibility," said Natasha Claire-Espino, interim director of communications for Public Safety. 

"They are extraordinary people. We survived 2020, which presented many historic challenges, and as first responders, we are ready to take on 2021 no matter what comes our way - we are here for San Mateo County," he added.

Therefore, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors presented a proclamation at its April 6 meeting designating April 11-17 as Public Safety Operators Week as part of National Public Safety Telecommunications Week.

Raul Castro resigns from the Communist Party of Cuba

Christian Carlos. Peninsula 360 Press [P360].

Raul Castro, 89, issued an announcement that he is retiring as First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba - the only one in the country - that has ruled the country for more than six decades, the first being his brother Fidel Castro.

Raúl Castro succeeded his brother, Fidel Castro, on April 19, 2011; the announcement was reportedly made by Fidel Castro, who said in 2006 that Raúl Castro would succeed him as First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba.

Raul Castro remained in power for 5 years. The Cuban leader declared that the leadership of the party will be in the hands of a "younger generation", following the "anti-imperialist spirit".

This concludes the leadership of the Castro brothers, whose revolution in Cuba was born in 1959.

Although he made public his resignation from the Communist Party of Cuba, he did not proclaim himself in favor of a specific successor. This is only the beginning, since, with this announcement, the first day of sessions of the Congress of the Communist Party in Cuba opens; it will be four days from now when the Congress will determine his successor.

While his resignation means the end of the Castro's leadership, it does not mean the end of their ideals. Raúl Castro showed affinity with Miguel Díaz-Canel, 60, who is currently the president of Cuba and who would succeed Raúl Castro from 2019 in the position as president and is the main candidate to emerge as the successor of the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba.

In addition to this, he will have to preside over the Political Bureau of the said party as well as the Plenary Sessions of the Central Committee. The Communist Party of Cuba was created on October 3, 1965.

Seeking to reduce the number of homeless people in the Bay Area by 75%

They will join forces to create a Regional Action Plan that in three years will help to initiate a solution for homeless people.

With the goal of housing 75 percent of the Bay Area's homeless population, local and state leaders, housing experts, businesses and social justice advocates from the nine counties that make up the Bay Area will join forces to create a Regional Action Plan that over three years will help jump-start a solution to a long-standing problem.

So, after long talks to find the best solution for a whole year, this week was announced the strategy that consists of several edges.

At a press conference, Santa Clara County Supervisor Cindy Chavez, State Assemblyman David Chiu, and leaders of All Home, the nonprofit spearheading the effort, said that while the numbers sound like an ambitious goal, the project is expected to work.

As of 2019, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reported that there were about 35,000 people on the streets of the Bay Area, and the project aims to reduce that number to 10,000 in just three years.

"We believe it can be achieved - lowering the number of people on the streets - in part because the plan takes an integrated approach with simultaneous provision of things that in the past we've pitted against each other," said Ken Kirkey, All Home's director of partnerships.

The Regional Action Plan (RAP), while consisting of several parts, focuses on two main areas: creating more housing and keeping more people off the streets.

In addition, it has an initial focus on extremely low-income residents with an emphasis on racial equity.

"We are seeing more people becoming homeless faster than we can re-house them. Cost-effective investment and prevention can keep our families and individuals stable and housed," said Sherilyn Adams, the organization's executive director, "We are seeing more people becoming homeless faster than we can re-house them. Larkin Street Youth Services. 

This would mean providing accelerated cash payments, income-driven rental assistance, and other state and federal housing support to those affected by COVID-19.

Among the coalition's requests to the state are those on issues of social inequality, which call for the expansion of practices that measure equity levels in California, and for counties to extend the eviction moratorium for at least 60 days if the state's moratorium, which expires June 30, is not extended.

Moving homeless people into permanent or temporary housing

A major part of the project is to move homeless people into temporary or permanent housing, and to that end, the coalition plans that for every unit of temporary housing built, there should be two units of permanent housing and four units of homeless prevention interventions to keep people housed.

In that regard, Kirkey said the coalition intends to work with each of the counties to find a customized approach.

The coalition includes the mayors of San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose, local elected officials from all nine Bay Area counties, Facebook, Salesforce, Kaiser Permanente, Goodwill and Destination Home, among others.

FedEx employees held incommunicado in Indianapolis shooting, 8 killed

According to the latest report from authorities, the assailant fired shots inside the Indianapolis FedEx facility. Employees were unable to call emergency services.

Eight people were killed and at least 60 wounded -one in critical condition-. According to information from the authorities, the attacker would have shot directly at 20 people; however, the bullets hit others. The wounded were taken to nearby hospitals.

The perpetrator took his own life. His identity is unknown.

The victims were later identified.

The FedEx facility at is located near the Indianapolis International Airport (IND). Indianapolis Police Department spokeswoman Ganae Cook said, "After a preliminary search of the grounds inside and out, we have located eight people at the site with gunshot wounds. Those eight were pronounced lifeless at the scene."

According to the account, the assailant reportedly began shooting outside the FedEx facility and then entered the building and continued shooting. "We talked to witnesses and began securing the scene. We have many hours of work to conclude," said Craig McCartt, deputy chief of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police.

However, according to testimony from FedEx workers, the company is now "reevaluating" its policy of moving employees away from their personal communication devices. This means that workers inside FedEx facilities did not have their phones with them to call emergency services.

Comment from discussion Wavelength1335's comment from discussion "'Multiple victims' reported after report of shots fired at FedEx facility in Indianapolis".

Subsequently, it transcended via social networks according to several testimonies, that the company does require its employees to leave any electronic communication device in safeguard. After the attack that caused the death of 8 people, the logistics company has not lifted this restriction; instead, it will soon evaluate whether this policy should be changed:

This restriction meant that 110 workers inside the FedEx facilities could not communicate outside to report what had happened or, in any case, to report their situation either to 911 or directly to their families.

Comment from discussion Gooberocity's comment from discussion "'Multiple victims' reported after report of shots fired at FedEx facility in Indianapolis".

Family members of working people were sheltered in a hotel After the attack, they denounce via social networks, that due to FedEx's policy, they could not communicate with their loved ones to know their situation firsthand.

Sadly, Peninsula 360 Press, has reported on frequent shootings in the United States, such as the one in the community of Bryan in Texasthe one of the Orange County, Mission in San Francisco and a minor who left one injured at Fremont.

Peninsula 360 Press, in addition to covering the events, has also given the community space on its multiple platforms to speak out about the indiscriminate use of firearms. In one of Peninsula 360 Press's live productions silence was observed to honor the victims of the tragedy in Cherokee County, Atlanta, Georgia..

Once again, Peninsula 360 Press condemns any violent action. Throughout our reporting, we have reported on the risks of the use and sale of firearms - both by law enforcement and civilians. Recently, California Gov, Gavin Newsom, welcomed U.S. President Joseph Biden's stance on his intention to minimize gun violence.. And alarming figures were presented that made 2020 deadliest year ever for firearms that the COVID-19 pandemic could not stop.

Salvador Dalí: living sport in a surrealist way

BY MIGUEL ENRÍQUEZ

Surrealism expressed utopia, paradox and mystery. In football there is no character that is better understood with these characteristics than a goalkeeper, that person who is dedicated to contradict the essence of nature on the field, the man or woman capable of ending the sighs and drown throats in the stadiums, the hero and the villain, the idol or mockery. The position, oddly enough, also artistic.

For Salvador Dalí, life and art were the same thing. The mystery of the works of born in Figueras, SpainAccording to him, it represented a unique attraction for society, because it was a reflection of life itself. As a reflection of society is the sport, to which the painter did not run away, but approached it.

Like hundreds of artists, the May 11, 1904 He confronted the criticism of the ball and its protagonists with works that reflected his thoughts about football, particularly and peculiarly with the solitary man on the firing squad: the goalkeeper.

Since he was a child and accompanied in childhood by two future stars of F.C. Barcelona, as were his friends Emilio Sagi and Josep Samitier.In the life of Dalí, who, contrary to the spotlight of his colleagues, decided to go to the goal as a footballer, but he was not able to go to the goal. as an artist.

For 1968, as a commission from the Spanish Delegation that was travelling to Mexico to compete in the Olympic Games of that year, the maximum exponent of Surrealism focuses his strokes on sport and develops his painting The cosmic athleteThe same that represented the origin of the greatest sporting event in the history of mankind and is characterized by factors such as a monumental being.

In this work Discóbolo de Mirón is depicted.The artist, an expert in representing athletes, but this time with the ability to take the sun in one hand. Although it seems that in the artistic dyes sport has no place, the high temperatures registered in the social thermometer find their conception in the most banal levels of the human being, where passions overflow, languages are known and values are put into play.

For Surrealism it was no different, Salvador Dalí reminded the world of the cosmovisions that hide the commonly spherical protagonists of the sporting globe.

Kamala Harris to visit Mexico and Guatemala to talk about migration

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said at a press conference that he was not aware of the visit.

Christian Carlos. Peninsula 360 Press [P360P].

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris announced that "as soon as possible" she will visit Mexico and Guatemala to address "fundamental issues" regarding the migratory phenomenon, since in recent months, the migratory phenomenon has accentuated and is representing a humanitarian crisis at the borders of both the U.S. and Mexico with Guatemala, where thousands of people arrive daily.

However, Kamala Harris clarified that during her tour, a visit to the borders between these countries is not planned, so her visit may be merely for diplomatic purposes to reach agreements on migration issues. In addition to this, there is the crisis caused by the pandemic for COVID-19 that in Mexico, according to data from the Mexican Ministry of Health, there are 210,812 unfortunate deaths caused by the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, while in Guatemala, only 7,089 deaths have been reported.

Because of this, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris preferred not to give a date for the start of her tour of these countries. US President Joseph Biden instructed Kamala Harris to address the substantial increase in the passage of migrants from Mexico, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

"We need to identify the symptoms and what's going on with a team of people at the border led by Ali Mayorkas - U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security - but we also need to eliminate the root causes; otherwise, it's a situation that could perpetuate itself," Harris said, adding that the U.S. government won't solve the problem "overnight."

For Kamala Harris, it is important for people to stay in their places of origin, as long as the conditions exist to do so. The goal, she says, is to generate opportunities that give "hope of staying in their homelands. She also pointed out that the effect of constant migration can have climatic consequences that increase the problems of violence and food security due to a knock-on effect on agricultural production.

Meanwhile, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said, in a press conference, he did not know the date for the visit of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris; however, he offered her welcome to Mexico. In a previous call, Lopez Obrador had invited Kamala Harris to visit the states of Campeche, Tabasco and Chiapas to see the achievements his administration has made with the social programs implemented, such as "Sembrando Vida" (Sowing Life), promoted by the country's Ministry of Economy.

"I talked [with Kamala Harris] about this program, the importance of it because it has a multiplier effect, it provides work in communities where people live, the places where people come from, it provides employment," said Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador. He assured that it is a social program that could be replicated in other countries such as Honduras and El Salvador.

Editor. Peninsula 360 Press [P360].

World Art Day, which is officially celebrated on April 15, Leonardo da Vinci's birthday, will be celebrated this year in Los Angeles by the International Art Association of the USA, in keeping with the COVID-19 pandemic measures, with a new mural at 415 Main Street in downtown Los Angeles; a six-panel 9′ by 9′ installation at the Pershing Square Art Squared outdoor gallery; a mural at the plaza at 5th and Olive; and a YouTube video posted on the evening of April 14 (see iaa-usa.org).

The City of Los Angeles will also issue a proclamation through the office of Councilmember Kevin de León, declaring World Art Day in Los Angeles. The day is also marked on the official UNESCO calendar.

World Art Day is an international celebration of art created by the International Association of Art, a partner of UNESCO, to promote recognition of the profound importance of art and artists in inspiring and enriching the lives of all human beings. The first World Art Day was celebrated in 2012. The date of April 15 was chosen in honor of Leonardo da Vinci, recognized as a champion of freedom of expression, tolerance and fraternity. Da Vinci is also celebrated for works that elegantly illustrate the influence of art on a wide range of human activities.

The International Art Association was born in Beirut in 1948, at the Third General Conference of UNESCO, when the director was commissioned to find out "what obstacles of a social, economic or political nature stand in the way of artists in the practice of their art". The IAA became an independent organization in 1954 and declared itself a partner of UNESCO. Its members are spread across five continents divided into four regions (Latin America, Europe-North America, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Arab States). The Los Angeles chapter is the first IAA chapter in the United States. Artists such as Miró, Braque, Delaunay, Moore and Calder, among many others, have contributed to the group's growth. At its core, the IAA is concerned with freedom of expression, artists' rights and the role of artists in society.

The mural at 415 Main Street, commissioned by IAA/USA on a 79-foot-long street-level wall given by owner Tom Gilmore, was created by celebrated British mural artist CBloxx. It is titled "Elemental" and includes an exquisite profile portrait of a person overlooking a fecund Southern California desert landscape into which a rusted, lifeless Cadillac has been slipped, slowly decaying in the sun. CBloxx mixes gritty realism with incandescent surrealism. CBloxx, who is one half of the celebrated mural team Nomad Clan, is one of the UK's most talented muralists. CBloxx has created murals in Marseille (Poland), Flint (Michigan) and across the UK.

"Still Life" at 5th and Main on Pershing Square

The Pershing Square installation includes a 30" x 15" mural on the plaza at 5th and Olive by Carol Cirillo Stanley, a photographer whose work is both realistic and abstract, with subjects ranging from cityscapes to floral characters. The mural, titled "Still life," is a series of dramatic black and white photographic images of flowers. Carol says, "Finding the intrinsic design and unique personality of each portrait was compelling. In these pandemic times, holding on to what is normal in its existence, inherent in its beauty and imaginative in its complexity provided both a creative approach and an exciting result."
