Live updates: Tracking the lake effect snow storm in Western New York – WKBW 7 News Buffalo

Menu
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — With accumulations expected to be measured in feet by Sunday evening, Western New York is under a Lake Effect Snow Warning this weekend.
Latest forecast information is available here.
A state of emergency is in effect for the region, allowing New York State to provide snow removal and safety support to counties and municipalities responding to the lake effect storm.
Saturday 1:30 p.m. Update: Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown announced the travel ban will transition to a travel advisory at 2 p.m. Saturday for East, West and North Buffalo. The travel ban remains in place in South Buffalo. In the areas where the travel ban is being lifted, the mayor said progress has been made in clearing main and secondary roads and crews will shift to side streets. In South Buffalo, the city has about 70 pieces of equipment on hand to haul snow out because there is too much snow to plow.
Saturday 12:30 p.m. Update: A travel advisory has been issued for the City of Niagara Falls. Officials say there should be no unnecessary travel at this time and ask residents to follow overnight parking regulations.
Saturday noon Update: As part of the City of Buffalo 2022-2023 snow plan there is a GPS system to track where its DPW plows are and where they have been. On Saturday morning a city spokesperson announced Citizens Insight Mapping System is having issues in reporting completed streets and the city is working to correct it. In addition, the spokesperson said state, county and private contractor plows are assisting in plowing city streets and the GPS system does not show their activity. “Residents should continue to call the 311 Call and Resolution Center to report areas of concern. The full number for 311 is 716-851-4890.”
Saturday 9 a.m. Update: A trained spotter has measured 77 inches of snow in Orchard Park.

AirPods Pro vs. AirPods Pro 2: Should You Upgrade? – MUO – MakeUseOf

The second-generation AirPods Pro are here, but are they worth your money?
Apple unveiled the original AirPods Pro back in 2019. They were a step forward over the standard AirPods, featuring innovations such as active noise cancellation (ANC), transparency mode, and Apple's first in-ear wireless earbud design. And with the second-generation AirPods Pro, Apple turned it up to 11 with improved ANC, Adaptive Transparency, longer battery life, and improved controls.
Both AirPods Pro models are excellent. If you have the first-generation AirPods Pro, you don't necessarily need to go out and upgrade. But if you're curious about how the two models compare, we've taken a close look at them below.
The biggest change you'll notice between the first- and second-generation AirPods Pro is the charging case. Starting with the basics, the case now charges via the iPhone's MagSafe connector or the Apple Watch charger. This is in addition to wired charging via a Lightning cable. The original AirPods Pro case supported standard wireless charging. But if you purchased your AirPods Pro after October 2021, the case was revised to also support MagSafe charging.
Unfortunately, charging speeds between the first- and second-generation cases are the same (there's no fast charging). But hey, at least you have more ways to charge it!
Beyond charging, the case got a few notable changes in regard to Find My. While the first-generation AirPods Pro supported Find My tracking, it only worked when the AirPods were out of the case and in range of your personal Apple devices. But with the AirPods Pro 2, both earbuds and the case are Find My capable. And to take it a step further, Apple has added a speaker and a U1 chip to the case for precise and easy tracking, even when you're not near it.
It's also worth noting that while you can fit your second-generation AirPods Pro into a first-generation case, and vice versa, Apple's software won't let them charge up. Upon trying to do so, you'll get an alert on your iPhone saying that your AirPods are in the wrong case and to put them back into the original case.
Sound quality is highly subjective and personal. Unfortunately, Apple doesn't give us frequency response graphs for us to refer to. However, according to Apple's AirPods Pro 2 announcement, the AirPods Pro 2 feature improved drivers and amplifiers for a better overall sound experience.
As someone who used the first-generation AirPods Pro for three years, I'd describe their sound as balanced but lacking in the treble department, with a non-offensive and friendly sound. With the second-generation AirPods Pro, I can tell that Apple has boosted the treble and bass to create a more balanced sound signature.
Apple's Adaptive EQ, which tries to adjust the EQ to compensate for how your AirPods fit in your ears, is also improved, according to Apple. But in practice, this is hardly noticeable on the AirPods Pro. Adaptive EQ is more notable on Apple's larger AirPods Max as there's more variability in how you can wear them.
One of the signature features of the AirPods Pro, and what sets them apart from the standard AirPods line, is active noise cancellation (ANC). Both the first- and second-generation AirPods Pro feature ANC, but Apple has improved its algorithms with the second-generation model. Apple claims that AirPods Pro 2 offer up to two times better noise isolation than the originals.
And from my experience owning both the first- and second-generation models, I can confirm that the ANC is much better on the newer AirPods Pro. For example, if the low hum from an airplane engine could slightly be heard on the first-generation AirPods Pro, the second-generation almost completely silences that noise. Whether the second-generation is two times better is hard to say, but they're definitely a step up from the originals.
The AirPods Pro 2 also feature Adaptive Transparency, which turns down extremely loud noises when in Transparency Mode. For example, if you're walking in the street and are passing a construction site, your AirPods Pro 2 will lower the volume of the loud jackhammer to a more comfortable level. The original AirPods Pro still feature a great Transparency Mode that sounds true to life, but will not lower the volume of louder noises.
Both AirPods Pro generations use Force Sensors on the stems of the earbuds. By default, a single click plays or pauses your audio or answers or hangs up a phone call. A double click skips forward, and a triple click goes back. And a click and hold switches between ANC and transparency modes.
However, the new AirPods Pro have a trick up their sleeves. In addition to the click gestures, Apple has included a new swipe gesture. This lets you change the volume by swiping up or down on the touch portion of the stem. Swiping up or down goes up a predetermined amount, meaning you'll need to swipe multiple times if you're wanting to change the volume a significant amount.
The first-generation AirPods Pro don't have a physical volume control and require you to reach for your iPhone or use Siri to change the volume. So if you've been clamoring for a change there, this may push you to upgrade.
While the battery life is pretty good on the first-generation AirPods Pro—offering 4.5 hours with ANC turned on, and 24 hours total with the charging case—the AirPods Pro second-generation take it up a notch. They add 25% more battery, to get up to 6 hours of juice with ANC enabled, and around 30 hours with the charging case.
Of course, those times assume that your AirPods Pro and case are brand new with fresh batteries. Battery degradation is bound to happen with all rechargeable batteries, and as you use both your AirPods and the case, you'll have to rely on tips to prevent your AirPods from losing battery too quickly. Still, it's better to start out with more, which you get with the AirPods Pro 2.
Both AirPods Pro models retail for $250, but since the first-generation AirPods Pro are no longer being sold by Apple and have been around for several years, you can often find them at a discounted price. Oftentimes, you'll be able to snatch a new set of first-generation AirPods Pro for $199. Or, if you're looking to save even more money, you'll sometimes find them refurbished for around $150.
Though, finding a new set of AirPods Pro first-generation might prove to be tricky, as most major retailers have switched to exclusively shipping the second-generation buds. If you're not looking to spend $250 on new earbuds, finding a used or refurbished pair, or finding the first-generation AirPods Pro new at a discounted price may be your best bet.
If you're generally happy with your first-generation AirPods Pro, and have no complaints about them, there's no real reason to pick up the second-generation. However, if you've found the battery life is starting to get too short or if you've been yearning for better ANC, the second-generation AirPods Pro could be a wise purchase.
Even then, you'll have to ask yourself whether you want to spend another $250 on a set of true wireless earbuds. That's especially true if your current set aren't very old.

Chemical engineering graduate becomes master distiller – Ohio University

“Making whiskey is a pretty rewarding career. At the end of the day, people connect over great food and drink,” said Ian Stirsman, BSChE ’10.
As a chemical engineering graduate, Stirsman started his career as a process engineer at Glatfelter, a paper mill in Chillicothe, Ohio. While he really enjoyed the paper making process, he knew he wanted to work in a growing industry that combined his interests and skills in engineering. When he got a call from a recruiter from MGP Ingredients, the parent company of Ross & Squibb Distillery in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Stirsman’s career goals started to come to fruition.
“I started as a shift manager, then moved to a process engineer, then a fermentation and distillation manager, which gave me the opportunity to work under some of our former master distillers,” said Stirsman.
Today, Stirsman is the master distiller for Ross & Squibb Distillery, the home of George Remus Bourbon and Rossville Union Rye Whiskey. This role means that he is responsible for the quality of the whiskey that is being produced. He starts each day reviewing key metrics from the previous day of work, including the review of the fermentation and distillation data. While his job is somewhat like other manufacturing jobs in this regard, he then smells and tastes the previous day’s whiskey production.
“We have a rigorous sensory process that we do in terms of training. We have standards of flavor profiles we are aiming for during production. During the training process, known defects are added to samples and then you are tested on your ability to taste for those defects,” said Stirsman.
 
While his engineering skills have allowed him to rise through the ranks at Ross & Squibb Distillery, he has also been able to incorporate his personal interests into his career. Prior to joining the company, Stirsman homebrewed his own beer and today he keeps a stocked whiskey bar at home. His career has combined his personal and professional interests, and he is still finding opportunities for growth.
“Every day is different, sometimes I’m doing traditional engineering work in the distillery, sometimes I’m working with our master blenders on new whiskeys and sometimes I’m out in the market sharing our whiskeys with consumers. It’s a fun blend of operations, engineering, new product development and marketing,” said Stirsman.
Stirsman has had the chance to work on new products and is proud of his work. The whiskey business requires patience, though.
“You get excited with all of your new ideas, but whiskey has to mature before it reaches its full potential. Many of the new innovations I have worked on won’t be released for years,” said Stirsman.
Patience is an important part of creating a great product, but, for Stirsman, the wait has always been worth it.
“At the end of the day, making whiskey is about helping people connect with each other,” said Stirsman.

Luminex Resources Announces Positive Exploration Drilling Results for Copper at El Hito and Orquideas – Junior Mining Network

TSX.V: LR
www.luminexresources.com

Mr. Marshall Koval reports:
El Hito Target at Condor
Orquideas
VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 15, 2022 /CNW/ – Luminex Resources Corp. (TSXV: LR) (OTCQX: LUMIF) (the “Company” or “Luminex”) is pleased to announce results from four drill holes, totalling 2,418 metres at its El Hito porphyry prospect, located in the central area of Luminex’s Condor project. Luminex is also pleased to report the drill results from five holes totalling 2,386 metres at its Orquideas project, where JOGMEC is earning into 70% ownership.
All four drill holes cut significant intervals of copper mineralization, including 627 metres grading 0.20% copper and 42 ppm molybdenum for a copper equivalent grade of 0.21% in EH22-03. Most of the copper and molybdenum mineralization is hosted in phyllic-altered quartz-diorite porphyry. These rocks were intersected as drill holes probed for the potassic core of the porphyry copper-molybdenum system, where higher grades may be expected. A compilation of the data suggests that the potassic core may well be located below the base of the current drilling, or possibly to the north or northeast, where copper and molybdenum rock and soil anomalies have not yet been drilled. The molybdenum-only rock and soil anomaly to the northeast of the drilled area may also be indicative of another porphyry centre in this area (Figure 1).

Intervals are calculated using a lower limit of 0.10% Cu and minimum length of 10 metres with a maximum inclusion of up to six continuous metres below cut-off. The highest copper value used in the reported weighted averages is 1.63 % Cu. Cu Eq values assume $3.00 copper and $7.00 molybdenum (Cu Eq= Cu % + (Mo ppm *2.33). Equivalent values assume 100% recoveries for all metals.
Detailed geological and geophysical work in the area shows additional porphyry copper and associated systems could lie further north in the Wanwintza Alto area, where porphyry-style, high-level, siliceous alteration is present. Another porphyry copper centre has also been identified via geological mapping, grid soil sampling and geophysical magnetic surveying at Prometedor Copper (Figure 2). As at El Hito, the Prometedor Copper porphyry centre is marked by a low magnetic signature.

The extensive gold-in-soil anomaly identified at the drill-ready Prometedor Gold target appears to be a distal, structurally controlled, precious-metal system related to the Prometedor Copper porphyry centre (Figure 3). The gold target is being readied for initial drill testing.

During 2022, Luminex and JOGMEC drilled 2,386 metres in five holes, testing a diverse set of geochemical and geophysical targets across the large Orquideas property. While the results were mixed, these holes and previous exploration drilling on the property have highlighted multiple areas warranting future exploration. JOGMEC is planning a follow-up drilling campaign in 2023.
The best results from the 2022 program came from the third hole, ORQ22-03, which cut 300 metres of continuous copper and molybdenum mineralization averaging 0.17% Cu Eq. This mineralization is hosted in an alteration assemblage (phyllic) known to flank copper porphyry deposits. In addition, a series of outcrops with consistent anomalous copper values, above 0.1% copper, have recently been found through sampling in close proximity to these holes. These discoveries provide compelling targets for follow-up drilling for higher grades potentially associated with a porphyry centre.
Other areas with strong geochemical signatures for copper and molybdenum, particularly in the southern portion of the project area (see Figure 4), may offer additional drill targets. ORQD002, drilled during an earlier campaign in 2019, cut an aggregate 132 metres averaging 0.18% Cu Eq hosted in phyllic alteration potentially indicating proximity to a second porphyry centre. Other short higher-grade intercepts from the 2019 and 2022 programs (ORQD003 and ORQ22-01) require further study to determine if additional drilling is warranted.

West campus first to see 10-year facilities master plan projects take shape – Iowa Now

It’s an exciting time to be a Hawkeye and to witness the campus transformation that will take place beginning in 2023. As part of the University of Iowa’s 10-year facilities master plan, projects will include state-of-the-art buildings, equipment, learning spaces, and other amenities.
Some work already is underway on the west side of campus, where other projects await that will help the university deliver on its missions of educating Iowa students and caring for Iowa patients.
The progress will cause some short-term disruption for students, faculty, staff, patients, and visitors, but the long-term benefits of growth and modernization will position the university for continued success.
“As with any major construction project, we will put a high priority on minimizing the impact for our campus community, patients, and visitors,” says Rod Lehnertz, senior vice president for finance and operations and university architect. “These temporary inconveniences are enabling an exciting campus transformation that will benefit generations to come.”
In January, UI Health Care announced plans for a new inpatient tower made possible by a $70 million gift from the Richard O. Jacobson Foundation. In order to build the state-of-the-art tower in its planned location and connect it to the current hospital complex, several other projects will need to be completed first.
The new tower will be built on the footprint of three existing structures: Hospital Ramp 1, a water tower, and the Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Center. Several projects starting in spring 2023 will make this possible:
Finally, construction of the new inpatient tower is expected to begin in late summer 2025. The tower will add more beds for UI Hospitals & Clinics, which is consistently at or above capacity. The additional space will significantly improve operations and help the hospital to continue providing access and care for complex patients who come from every county in Iowa.
“The addition of the new inpatient tower will help ensure the continued world-class patient care at UI Hospital & Clinics that all Iowans have come to rely on,” Lehnertz says. “This modernization plan is visionary and will establish the University of Iowa as a destination for students, faculty, staff, and patients well into the future.”
Projects that are part of the 10-year facilities master plan will be paid for with a mix of donor funding, state funding, hospital revenue, and other sources.
The Board of Regents, State of Iowa, in January granted the UI permission to proceed with planning projects that are part of the 10-year plan. Once projects are developed and funding commitments have been identified, individual projects will go before the Board of Regents for design and budget approval.
The plan, which spans the next decade of campus development, is expected to evolve and change over time.
Goschke Family Wrestling Training Center
Construction of the Goschke Family Wrestling Training Center began in June. The center is being built adjacent to Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the home of Iowa wrestling for almost 40 years. A tunnel will connect the new center to Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Emergency Department expansion
UI Hospitals & Clinics is expanding its emergency department to meet the needs of more complex patients, including complex psychiatric patients, and to improve the flow of patients through the ED. Highlights include expanded space for behavioral health, relocation of the crisis stabilization unit to be adjacent to the ED, a new dedicated pediatric space, and supportive technology.
Expansion of John Pappajohn Pavilion
UI Hospitals & Clinics is adding two floors onto John Pappajohn Pavilion to add more patient beds. An additional inpatient unit is being created on the new level nine. Mechanical equipment to support all floors will be moved to a new level 10 and existing floors seven and eight will be renovated to add additional capacity. The expansion is in the planning phase and is expected to be complete by summer 2025.
South Wing level 2 renovation
UI Hospitals & Clinics will add 13 inpatient beds by renovating level two of the South Wing, located between General Hospital and Roy J. Carver Pavilion. This project was approved by the Board of Regents in November and is in the planning phase, with construction expected to begin in spring 2023.
Outpatient clinic development
UI Hospitals & Clinics is seeking a third-party development team to acquire land, design, plan, construct, and own a medical office building in Iowa City. This will increase access to primary medical care for the local community as well as train physicians in a setting similar to other primary care offices in Iowa.

Moinian Group JV Begins Brooklyn Adaptive Reuse – Multi-Housing News

The Moinian Group, in a joint venture with Bushburg, has begun its construction on The Empire State Dairy Co. building, an adaptive reuse of the 36,000-square-foot historic property located at 2840 Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn, N.Y. The redevelopment efforts include the construction of a 370,000-square-foot, 320-unit mixed-income apartment tower, in addition to several commercial properties, with the project’s completion scheduled for January of 2024. Preleasing is expected to follow shortly thereafter.
The Empire State Dairy Co. building was constructed in 1914 and was originally part of a row of industrial buildings and warehouses. Bushburg had acquired the building in 2018, according to CommercialEdge information. Dattner Architects is overseeing the redevelopment efforts. The community will offer a mix of studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, featuring both affordable and luxury arrangements. Residents will have access to a rooftop terrace, a fitness center, co-working space, a lounge and private parking. The joint development will add a further 21,000 square feet of retail space, in addition to an attached charter school. The owner and developer are also planning to restore the building’s brick façade, in addition restructuring the building and laying out a new roof.
The project’s location on Atlantic Avenue places it within walking distance of Brooklyn’s Highland Park, in addition to numerous employers and transportation nodes. The property is 7 miles from Manhattan and 5 miles from John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The conversion of the warehouse site is the second joint venture between Moinian and Bushburg. The firms recently collaborated on PLG, a 467-unit luxury development in Brooklyn’s Prospect Lefferts Gardens neighborhood.
Adaptive reuse continues to be a lucrative and sought-after endeavor for multifamily developers, as the redevelopment of existing properties has allowed them to sustainably expand their portfolios and meet already high demand across the market. Furthermore, it has allowed the properties to uniquely appeal to renters, by way of their historical significance. Adaptive reuse also has its appeals in affordable housing, as the nation faces a crisis of unprecedented scale in both the need for affordable units and the availability shortage.

Flushing Town Hall to celebrate the legacy of late jazz master Barry Harris – QNS.com – QNS

Flushing Town Hall will pay tribute to one of the greatest NEA jazz masters with Songs for Barry Harris, featuring NEA jazz master Sheila Jordan, bassist Harvie S. and jazz guitarist Roni Ben-Hur, on Friday, Dec. 2, at 8 p.m. 
The trio will perform jazz standards and tunes Barry Harris played throughout his phenomenal career and share unique stories and memories about the outstanding jazz luminary for the anniversary of his passing. Harris, who was an American jazz jazz pianist, bandleader, composer, arranger and educator, died at the age of 91 in December 2021.
Harris first joined Flushing Town Hall’s NEA Jazz Masters series in 2007 alongside Clark Terry, Jimmy Heath, Tootie Heath and Benny Powell. When, at times, health challenges prevented his participation in subsequent concerts in Flushing Town Hall’s series, he generously invited NEA Jazz Master pianists Jo Anne Brackeen and Kenny Barron to take his place, helping bring more living legends to the institution’s beloved corner of Queens. He was beloved by Flushing Town Hall’s staff and audiences.
Harris gave his final public performance at Flushing Town Hall’s 15th annual NEA Jazz Masters concert just one month prior. 
“The esteemed Barry Harris graced our stage on multiple occasions over the years, and we are honored that he shared his talents with our audiences,” said Ellen Kodadek, executive director of Flushing Town Hall. “Sheila Jordan, Harvie S. and Roni Ben-Hur have all known Master Harris for many years, and I know that they will deliver a fantastic and heart-warming tribute to the great person and musician he was.” 
All three featured performers have a very special connection to the late Harris. 
Jordan grew up in Detroit and knew Harris as a teenager; they remained good friends across the decades. Ben-Hur started out as a student of Harris, later playing in his band and recording some classic albums with him. Harvie S. played with Harris over many years and taught with him in summer programs at the Manhattan School of Music. Audiences can look forward to a very moving and uplifting tribute to the influential Jazz Master.
Raised in poverty in Pennsylvania’s coal-mining country, Jordan began singing as a child, and by the time she was in her early teens, she was working semi-professionally in Detroit clubs. Her first great influence was Charlie Parker. After moving to New York in the early ’50s, she married Parker’s pianist, Duke Jordan, and studied with Lennie Tristano, but it was not until the early ’60s that she made her first recordings. By the late ’70s, jazz audiences had begun to understand her uncompromising style a little more, and her popularity increased. Jazz journalist Scott Yanow describes her as “one of the most consistently creative of all jazz singers.”
Harvie S., award-winning bassist, educator, composer, arranger, and producer, is continually challenging himself and his peers, expanding the borders of musical direction. 
He has performed and recorded with Stan Getz, Chet Baker, Dexter Gordon, Tony Bennett, Ray Baretto and many others. He can be heard on 20 albums as a leader, 15 as a co-leader and over 400 albums as a sideman. Harvie S. was selected as a jazz ambassador for the U.S. and toured throughout Europe and Southeast Asia in this honored capacity. He has been a guest on NPR’s All Things Considered and Fresh Air. Jazz guitarist Ben-Hur has earned a sterling reputation as a musician and educator, renowned for his golden tone, improvisational brilliance, compositional lyricism, and ability to charm peers, students and listeners alike. 
Ben-Hur – born in Israel in 1962 but a longtime American citizen, now based in New Jersey – has released nine albums as leader or co-leader, with Time Out New York calling him “a formidable and consummately lyrical guitarist.” The Star-Ledger of New Jersey summed him up this way: “A deep musician, a storyteller, Ben-Hur works with a warm, glowing sound and has an alluring way of combining engaging notes with supple rhythm.” 
Along with releasing acclaimed educational products – including the instructional DVD “Chordability” and method book “Talk Jazz: Guitar” – Ben-Hur has directed international jazz camps for nearly 15 years. Jazz guitar star Russell Malone got it right when he said: “Everything Roni does is beautiful. He has the magic touch.”
The concert on Dec. 2 begins at 8 p.m. For those unable to attend in person, the performance will also be livestreamed online on YouTube for $10. Tickets are $40 for general admission, $32 for members and $20 for students with ID. Table packages for two with refreshments are available for $130, or $110 for members.

Renderings revealed for the first apartments at Inglewood's Hollywood Park development – Urbanize LA

Los Angeles
Construction is pushing toward the finish line at The Crosby and The Wesley, the first residential buildings at Inglewood‘s Hollywood Park complex, the massive development from L.A. Rams owner Stan Kroenke which is billed as the largest mixed-use project on the West Coast.
Skydeck at The Wesley overlooking SoFi StadiumHollywood Park
The new development at Prairie Street and Century Boulevard, anchored by SoFi Stadium, will eventually feature 2,500 residential units across more than 300 acres of land. The Wesley and the Crosby, the first two apartment buildings to open on the site, will feature 314 units that are scheduled to begin pre-leasing in January 2023.
Hart Howerton and TCA Architects are designing both buildings, while interiors are being handled by Kenneth Brown Design and Redmond Aldrich Design. Plans call for a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom units, as well as on-site amenities.
Pool deck at The CrosbyHollywood Park
Both are depicted as contemporary low-rise buildings, clad in stucco, which complement the new housing with unique common areas, as well as amenities including sky decks, fitness studios, and swimming pools.
“The development of our residences was inspired by the abundance of art, culture, and history in Inglewood, resulting in two sophisticated residences that feature purposeful design and one-of-a-kind living,” said Christopher Meany, a partner at Wilson Meany, which is managing the Hollywood Park development. “This was an important element as we began to execute on Mr. Kroenke’s vision for the residential, knowing that Hollywood Park aspires to become top-of-mind for renters seeking storied collections of full-frill units with first-class amenities.”  
Lobby at The CrosbyHollywood Park
The final buildout of Hollywood Park, in addition to the proposed 2,500 homes, is expected to include nearly 900,000 square feet of offices, 890,000 square feet of retail space, and a 300-room hotel.  Other elements of the project, including SoFi Stadium and a new performing arts venue, are already open. Likewise, 25 acres of open space are planned throughout the complex, highlighted by a six-acre artificial lake which fronts SoFi Stadium.
Commercial tenants at Hollywood Park include the NFL Network, NFL.com, the NFL app, and NFL Redzone, which have leased 290,000 square feet of office space, as well as Sky’s Gourmet Tacos, Cinepolis, and Iconix Fitness.
Outdoor screening area at The WesleyHollywood Park
Hollywood Park, which has kicked off something of a development boom in Inglewood, will also be joined by a similar mixed-use project to the south. The Los Angeles Clippers are poised to join the Rams and Chargers in calling the city home, breaking ground last year on a $1.2-billion arena and entertainment complex directly across Century Boulevard.
The City of Inglewood, in the hope of connecting the new sporting venues with rail transit, is also pursuing the construction of a 1.8-mile automated people mover system which would run between the Crenshaw/LAX Line and Hollywood Park.

FIFA World Cup 2022: Overview of FIFA World Cup Match-Coverage Plans – Sports Video Group



By Ken Kerschbaumer, Editorial Director
Friday, November 18, 2022 – 9:27 am
Print This Story

The FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is set to begin this weekend, and the FIFA World Cup Division, which is responsible for the broadcast production, and Host Broadcast Services (HBS) are ready to cover all the action with a team of around 2,500 people. Here is a look at key production highlights and advances.
The compact nature of this year’s World Cup will allow production crews to be split into two match clusters that will travel between the eight stadiums and are headed by six world-class directors (Francois Lanaud, Grant Philips, Jamie Oakford, Laurant Lachand, Sarah Cheadle, and Sebastian von Freyberg).
The standard camera plan has 42 cameras, and both super-slo-mo and ultra-slo-mo will be in the mix, covering key players. Several RF cameras will also be used to capture activities — fan coverage, team arrivals, VIP and player interviews — in and around the stadium.
 
The standard camera plan for World Cup matches is built around 42 cameras.
The biggest leap this year will be a single-unified-layer capture/transmission workflow for UHD/HDR coverage of all 64 matches. In 2018, a multilateral, dual-layer approach was required, but advances in technology will allow all formats to be integrated into a single workflow, greatly streamlining operations and setup.
With respect to HDR, hybrid log gamma (HLG) will be used to provide a standardized and easy-to-manage set of color transformations between SDR and HDR. UHD/HDR capture will be done from selected standard cameras at 50 fps and 1080p from cameras shooting at 150 fps and higher. Replay and recording will be in HDR, and a common HDR opto-electronic transfer function will be used for all cameras. Shading will be done in SDR, and SDR signals will be down-mapped out of the HDR material.
The World Cup feed-distribution workflow
At the core of live content distribution are the multi-feeds allowing FIFA to provide a wide range of match, pre- and post-match, and other content to rightsholders. Multilateral feeds and selected isolated cameras will also be available in different formats, including 12G-SDI UHD/HDR BT.2020 at 2160p/50 for selected isolated cameras and the Extended Stadium Feed. All multi-feeds will be available to rightsholders in 3G SDI-HDR (BT.2020), 3G-SDI SDI (REC.709), and HD-SDI SDI (REC.709). Each one will have up to 16 embedded audio channels.
The lineup of feeds:
Another important service offering is the cloud-based media server, FIFA MAX (Media Asset Exchange), which allows rightsholders to find a treasure trove of content. The 2022 version will be capable of holding 6,000 hours of content, all of which can be accessed via the FIFA Content Interface. Best of all, rightsholders can access it whether or not they are based at the IBC, giving production professionals thousands of miles away a chance to boost content creation and output. Content will be stored via XAVC-I at 1080p/50, and the server also supports ingest and delivery in HDR (with SDR preview).
Rightsholders will have a choice not only of a basic-stereo mix and a 5.1 surround-sound mix but also a 5.1.4 immersive mix produced in two immersive-sound galleries at the IBC. At the center of those efforts, an eight-capsule microphone array at each stadium is supported by additional three-dimensional microphone arrays located closer to the spectators.
Immersive audio at the World Cup requires a strong microphone-placement plan.
The immersive-audio package contains channel-based premixes layered with audio objects that can be preset. Rightsholders distributing in immersive formats like MPEG-H and AC-4 will have access to a fully personalized listening experience, which includes volume control of individual elements and different commentaries.

Coal mining is a dangerous job. In Afghanistan, kids often do much of the work – 90.5 WESA

LEILA FADEL, HOST:
While world leaders have been talking about limiting global warming at the U.N. climate summit, Afghanistan has been moving in another direction and ramping up its production of coal. Mining for that coal is dangerous and sometimes deadly. And as NPR’s Arezou Rezvani reports, in Afghanistan, kids often do much of the work.
(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)
UNIDENTIFIED MUSICAL ARTIST: (Singing in non-English language).
AREZOU REZVANI, BYLINE: You don’t have to travel too far outside of Kabul to see signs that coal is king in Afghanistan’s economy these days.
So we left Kabul just a couple of hours ago. We’re about to make our way through the Hindu Kush mountains on these backbreaking roads built to buy the Soviets years ago. And already we’re passing truck after truck after truck, all of them full of coal. Some are carrying so much, it’s just spilling over the sides. When the old Afghan government collapsed last year, its economy collapsed with it. Foreign governments withdrew billions of dollars in economic assistance when the Taliban returned to power. Now, after a year of isolation, the cash-strapped Taliban government is increasing its coal production and exports to fill the void. And those bringing that coal to market aren’t who you’d expect.
(SOUNDBITE OF FOOTSTEPS ON GRAVEL)
REZVANI: We’ve driven through mountains, through riverbeds, and we’re now walking this final stretch to get to the coal mines. And headed in the other direction, headed down the mountain are a lot of miners with coal dust all over them. And some of these faces we see are quite young.
It’s not uncommon to see children work hard jobs in poor countries – in factories, farms or food stalls. But the scene atop this mountain is still astonishing. Inside a narrow tunnel, the distant, faint glow of headlamps appears first.
FAZEL: Be careful here.
REZVANI: OK.
As we go deeper, the young faces come into focus.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #1: (Speaking Dari).
REZVANI: Older boys are swinging pickaxes, digging for coal. Some are busy fixing wood beams for the crumbling tunnel walls.
(SOUNDBITE OF WOOD BEING SANDED)
REZVANI: The younger boys escort coal-laden donkeys out of the mines. Among them is 12-year-old Mansour. When he emerges from this mountain’s womb, the boys outside greet him with a tune from a toy flute. They take turns playing.
(SOUNDBITE OF FLUTE)
REZVANI: It’s a humble celebration for making it out alive, they say.
(SOUNDBITE OF FLUTE)
REZVANI: Like everyone here, little Mansour wears no helmet, no goggles, just a pair of cheap rubber shoes he sliced open to air out his little black toes peeking out.
MANSOUR: (Speaking Dari).
REZVANI: “My workday starts at dawn,” he tells me. He shepherds donkeys up and down this mountain for 10 hours a day.
MANSOUR: (Speaking Dari).
REZVANI: “The work’s not hard,” he says, but he looks bone tired. His delicate hands are black and calloused.
ABDUL: (Speaking Dari).
REZVANI: Much of the coal Mansour takes down is carried out of the earth by older boys, like Abdul Salaam. He’s 17 and already a veteran of these lands.
ABDUL: (Through interpreter) I’ve been working here most of my life. I started working in these mines when I was 9.
REZVANI: The child labor that existed under the old government has grown worse in the last year. The Taliban government wants to fix that. But with an economy in shambles, more families are sending younger kids here, says Jawad Jahed, the engineer who oversees this mine for the government.
JAWAD JAHED: (Through interpreter) Kids under 18 aren’t supposed to work here. But our people are so poor, families have no choice. They send their children to work because they need the money. And it’s hard for us to turn them away.
REZVANI: The boys earn a few dollars for a day’s work. It’s a strong, steady wage in these cruel economic times, even if it comes at great risk. Heavy rains last winter caused one of the tunnels here to collapse. A dozen workers were killed. When I asked 17-year-old Salaam if he’s worried about getting hurt, he shrugs.
ABDUL: (Through interpreter) It is the work of destiny. If it is my destiny to die in these mines, then so be it.
REZVANI: But that destiny may already be taking shape. As the sun sets, we head back down the mountain. A few young miners are sitting on a ledge overlooking this vast, blackened landscape. One of them pulls out the flute.
(SOUNDBITE OF FLUTE)
REZVANI: He plays it for a few seconds. Then he stops.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #2: (Speaking Dari).
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #3: (Speaking Dari).
REZVANI: “Carry on,” the other boys say. But he can’t.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD #4: (Speaking Dari).
REZVANI: After a long day at the mines, he doesn’t have the breath to go on.
