In my Issues in Environmental Justice class in fall 2020 our final assignment was to write a letter on a particular environmental justice issue to the people of 2050. I love learning about issues like this because it is an opportunity to educate myself and others, so that we can change things. My professor said it was a combination of "analytical seriousness with an accessible tone," which is one of the greatest compliments I have received because that is how I aspire to tackle overwhelming issues like climate change.
To the people of 2050… Here's A Hopeful Story That All Started with a Straw
You probably have no idea what a plastic straw is due to a #StopSucking campaign that began in 2015 (does that sound super long ago? That's the year Adele said Hello and Justin Bieber said Sorry, if those singers are still at all relevant), but they were a single-use plastic people mindlessly used until it became trendy to not. Apparently, Instagram and shame are a match made in heaven. Reusable straws became a badge of honor as plastic straws were stigmatized. All jokes aside, this movement exemplifies the power of social media and how much consumers can drive change. I personally remember 2018 being the height of the movement, although like all things, this change didn't simply happen overnight, it was driven by people working behind the scenes for years. Activists shocked people with a video of a sea turtles with a plastic straw up its nose, educated people that plastic straws were actually too thin to be recycled so they end up in the ocean as microplastics or hurting sea creatures, and kept people interested through catchy campaigns. And it worked. People were outraged and ditching plastic straws became an easy thing to do. So much so that cities like Seattle, Washington banned plastic straws and companies like Starbucks introduced straw-less lids deemed "adult sippy cups" by the internet. A year later and now it's just commonplace to skip the straw. Cities and companies are still banning this demonized plastic, although the main motive is probably clout and to stay competitive, some companies are driven by sustainability. Are there still plastic straws? Yes. Did banning them eliminate plastic use and pollution? Of course not. Did this movement make a difference? Absolutely.
In his book What is Critical Environmental Justice?, David Pellow offers a framework of four pillars to analyze justice issues and offers three timely and important examples. His first pillar requires a recognition that "social inequality and oppression in all forms intersect, and that actors in the more-than-human world are subjects of oppression and frequently agents of social change" (Pellow 18-19). This could not be truer, especially since my example involves a movement propelled by a "more-than-human," a beautiful term; the sea turtle.
Writing this in 2019, I unfortunately cannot imagine a world without plastic, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Plastic straws woke people up. They stopped mindlessly grabbing them during their morning rush to work and started thinking about their impact on the environment and role in the world. It was a small and tangible step an ordinary person could take, and an opening for activists to educate people. Not only on our society's extensive over use and dependence on plastic, but the injustices going on behind the scenes. We need to question not only the prevalence of the plastic industry but the industrial production system that exploits cheap labor and is driven by consumer demand for something new. We want it all and with same-day delivery, not even considering the implications this has. Since things are made to buy and not to order, so much goes to waste.
There is one caveat of where plastic straw bans are occurring that people aren't talking about. Most of middle America has no plastic ban at all, but your typical elite liberal states, New York and California, do. Is it because they don't care, because they can't, or what? Orbitz, a travel information company, created an interactive map of the United States based on whether the whole state, a city, or hotel has a plastic straw ban, plastic bag ban, neither, or both. Very on brand, California was the first state to ban single-use plastic bags statewide and New York will be the second with their statewide single-use plastic bag ban going into effect March 1st, 2020, which weirdly sounded far away to me, when in reality that is slightly over three months away. The East Coast continues to represent with Washington, D.C. having banned all plastic bags and straws and Massachusetts and Maine with such extensive lists of cities with plastic bag bans that they are considering a statewide ban. On July 9th, 2018, the height of the plastic straw movement, Starbucks announced they would remove plastic straws from all locations by 2020. That is less than three weeks away and I would be very proud of the company if when I step into Starbucks on January 1st, 2020 for there not to be a single plastic straw insight. The green Starbucks straw was iconic, but I think getting rid of them completely is legendary.
Unfortunately, living a sustainable lifestyle is often seen as expensive. It takes educating people on ways that they will actually save money, and that sometimes short-term expense will be worth it in the long run. However, I do agree that availability to some of these products, especially the stereotypical ones, is usually centered in cities on the coasts, contributing to this geographic divide. Drastic lifestyle differences not only exist all over the world, but within countries, states, towns, neighborhoods. Despite these differences, we are all inextricably interconnected, one example being when it comes to pollution as Pellow's second pillar of scale points out. In the spatial sense, just like how carbon dioxide from your car ends up in the atmosphere, your plastic straw can end up in the ocean all across the world, probably affecting a community that barely even uses them (Pellow 20). The plastic straw you throw out can end up in the ocean, broken down into microplastics, eaten by a fish that is later caught and killed, which is then sold as food and eaten by someone. This may sound dramatic or like a stretch, but this scenario is far too real.
The temporal dimension of scale is by far the most terrifying aspect of climate change to me (Pellow 21). I was first introduced to this concept in my Ethics of Climate Change class my freshman year in the fall of 2018. Essentially, actions like air or plastic pollution, for example, do not only have immediate impacts, but unforeseen future consequences. We are currently feeling the effects of pollution from years ago. So why did this terrify me? Our emission levels have only gone up over the past 50 years, with some decreases, and we won't know what affect that will have on our environment until the future when it is too late. That means people who are not even born yet will most likely be experiencing the worst of it, even though they did not contribute at all. This gets into the idea of distributive justice, which focuses on "issues of equity regarding the distribution of environmental harm and risk" (Pellow 11).
Pellow's fourth pillar addresses the unfortunate reality that certain groups are seen as indispensable, most usually racial or sociological. Instead of recognizing the respect everyone deserves, people are devalued and used as a means to an end. Your straw's lifespan is so much longer than the time it took you to drink your iced coffee. We need to not only think about where does my straw go after I use it, but where did it come from? Most straws, like other cheap goods were made in China, probably by an underpaid and mistreated factory worker.
Anything that is mass produced has consequences, and social justice issues are environmental justice issues. Even Lou Zhongping, the "King of Plastic Straws," in China who has been in the business since the 1990s, company, Soton Daily Necessities Co. Ltd., is investing $15 million into keeping up with new market demands. Extremely knowledgeable on the subject, Lou explained that paper and biodegradable straws are not the best solution. I find this admirable because he could easily try and find the quick and cheap solution, but instead provides ideas of what he sees as the future of straws. He listened to consumers, the market, and the times and I believe he will be rewarded for his innovative energy in the long run.
I see the way businesses will be run in 2050 going one of two ways. The apocalyptic, Wall-E like scenario in which industrialization will be even more extreme, there will be less regulations, and a product with a hidden story will be the norm. Or, the more optimistic version, which includes companies like consumers will have forced companies to be transparent with product production and will value quality over quickness. In his third pillar, Pellow focuses on the role of state. Time and time again the state has been the one responsible for injustice that allows for people and the planet to be put on the backburner as profit is prioritized. We cannot sit around and wait for the state to take action, we must make it happen ourselves. Just because this nation is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, for the people," doesn't mean it is. Fight for your rights and the rights of those who can't whether it be someone or something hundreds of miles away.
I think an important thing to note here is that people are innovating, exploring, and simply trying. Trying new things. Trying to eliminate their plastic waste. Trying to learn. Trying to be better. So here's my advice to someone reading this thirty years from now. Don't take anything at face value. Ask the hard questions, and lots of them. Expect more from companies and push them to expect more from themselves. It is so easy to be intimidated by the system in place and let it gather strength like a snowball that becomes bigger as it rolls down the mountain. Often when people realize they are a victim of an injustice, I hear them blame "the system." I sure have done it and although I still think it is true, I think it is a cop out. It is a way to be upset and then not do anything about it. "The system" becomes a lot less scary when you realize that in reality you have the power. Yes, companies put out products for us to buy and we cannot control whatever ethics they broke in the process, but we do get to decide if we buy into it, literally. Research, read, and educate yourself. External rules are not enough to change peoples' hearts, minds, and actions because genuine motivation comes from within. If enough people boycott a product, company, commercial, practice, etc. then the threat of bankruptcy will force them to change. We live in an unapologetically capitalist society. Take advantage of it.
In 2018, the International Planet Protection Committee (IPPC) released a report on global warming and essentially told the world that we had until 2030 to get our act together or else. I am vague because as 2019 winds down that "or else" embodies all the chaos and pain that has already begun that I hope we can prevent from getting any worse. Although there are a lot of people who are working against us, there are so many more fighting for our future. For example, Greta Thunberg, a sixteen-year old climate activist, is Time Magazine's 2019 Person of the Year. For me, it is not a question of if we can fight this, but if we will. We are from a point where we could have stopped or reversed climate change, but we cannot give up on creating a better future. I'm not sure what life looks like in 2050 for you because 30 years sounds like a crazy amount of time, but I hope from the bottom of my heart that we didn't fail you. If things didn't go as well as I hoped, please don't give up either; if not for yourselves, then for the people in 2080, because we all deserve a fighting chance on this one earth we have the privilege of calling home.

1. Was there any references to the works of Shakespeare in Young Justice?
2. Watched "Monsters" episode from Beware the Batman. Enjoyed the return of Metamorpho and the show's general take on him. Good work on the writing. Liked the reference to the Outsiders. Can't wait to see whether Harvey Dent takes up Anarky's offer.
1. Yep. Nothing major, but I could hardly get through a series without sticking something in there.
2. Glad you liked it. Unfortunately, I missed it. Still haven't seen the finished product.
Question for Greg, Are you doing any work in the future? After Young Justice that is. HUGE fan of your work.
Thank you. And, yes. I'm currently working with fellow Executive Producers Dave Filoni and Simon Kinberg on STAR WARS REBELS, a new animated series from Lucasfilm and Disney, which should begin airing in Fall, 2014.
I'm currently writing the second book in the RAIN series.
In addition, I've written an episode of Beware the Batman and a few Octonauts.
So, it was announced that Young justice had been cancelled, which is very unfortunate because it's one of the best shows around since JLU.
I was wondering, I know there are a few petitions going around, but is there a chance that a canceled contract could be renewed? Also, is there any other way that the show could go back in the air?
If not, I'm glad we did get two seasons, and i can't wait for the rest of season 2, but could you please not leave it on a cliffhanger :0 ? I hope you guys do get un-cancelled, and thanks for all your hard work and effort, i just hope the next DC show is as good or better, because honestly, we really don't need another batman show, we need good DC universe stories like Young Justice created.
PS. As for season 3, you mentioned you had an idea for it, is the story all written out, and did it ever get to the animation stage?
To be clear, and it may seem like mere semantics, but the show was not cancelled. It simply has not been picked up for more episodes. The odds of that changing are slim, but not impossible. And the odds of something Earth-16 coming back some day are also not impossible. After all, a new version of Teen Titans just hit CN's schedule.
The best way to convince TPTB is with your wallet. By the video game, by the DVDs, by the Trade Paperbacks. By whatever YJ merchandise you can find.
And I'd suggest giving the new Beware the Batman show a real chance. I've read many of the scripts (and wrote one of them), and I really liked what I read. REALLY.
As for Season Three of YJ, no. Of course not. If we didn't get picked up, how would it have been scripted, let alone animated?
Hello there Greg (you don't mind me calling you Greg, do you?), how you've been?
Well I hope you have been doing well, and working hard on YJ for us fans.
So let me introduce myself, my name is Daniel I'm from Brasil and I LOVE the YJ tv show. As for the comic book, still I haven't had the chance to check it out. But I cannot see why it wouldn't be as great as the animation.
Anyways… with the recent CN's actions and the future listing of DC's solicitations, a lot of speculations have surfaced the web. Do those same speculations harm you or the crew in any way? Note that I don't mean it physically, I mean carrerwise (e.g. the mood in the work environment, the relationship with the bosses… that kind of thing?).
Have you ever thought about, or did in fact pitch in an Earth 16 title for the DC's New 52 (such as the Earth 2 title)? If not, how about it? I imagine that great things would come out of it. :) And what about novels? That would certainly be interesting!!
ANYWAY, I suppose this is as good an excuse as any to go through a bit of a chronology.
On one level, I probably should have walked away. But instead, I worked for free, helping to post the episodes with Brandon from January to October of 2012. Simultaneously - because I do need to earn a living - I did a number of freelance scripts for various series, including one for Warners' Beware the Batman, plus a Transformers Prime, a couple of Kaijudos, a couple Rescue Bots and a couple of Octonauts. Plus, there was the YJ comic, a few miscellaneous things, and I was also working on revising my first novel, Rain of the Ghosts. Oh, and Brandon and I were also giving free input on Legacy, as well. So I was plenty busy.
In October of 2012, we finished posting episode 220, "Endgame", and on Halloween I moved out of my office on the Warner Bros. Ranch and moved back to my old office in Beverly Hills. By that time, I was done with the comic as well.
During that period, Brandon and I (both separately and together) pitched all sorts of further Earth-16 properties, including (but not limited to) a third season (of course), animated spin-offs featuring Arsenal and/or the Arrow Family, a comic book entitled Earth-16, the Black Manta Celebrity Hot Tub shorts, a direct to DVD movie, etc. Brandon even pitched a YJ meets Scooby movie. Unfortunately, none of these were in the cards.
I'd happily do a YJ Novel, but like anything YJ related, it's just not up to me. It's just not a property I control AT ALL.
Wow! Is it hard to keep up with even the questions to post new ones. Thanks for reopening the queue!
Condolences on the lose of your Grandmother. I remember the months before my grandmother died how she had retreated into herself and was all but unrecognizable, than all of a sudden came back to herself for a week or two at the end. I still treasure it as a great gift that we were reminded who she was before the end. She was a good deal younger than 100 so we were not quite expecting the end, but I can understand what you mean by feeling that the person you love is already on the way somewhere else. I am glad you have so many years and so many wonderful memories to look back on.
1- I see someone already asked if you can explain some of the terms you used when you broke down the stages the of episodes in progress. He mentioned 'online' in particular. If you didn't already do so, can you also define 'slug'?
2- I know you prefer to record the voice actors together in conversation, unlike many other cartoons that record the voices in isolation. In live action tv and movies are recorded out of order, that's the most efficient way to use the sets and actors. Since there aren't sets for cartoons, and you prefer to have all the actors together anyway, are the scenes more or less recorded in order?
3- You mentioned in the past moments when stories just come together and surprise you- when the next event seems to announce herself, unplanned but seemingly totally organic to the story. Like when "Owen is Puck!" announced itself. Or when you kept hearing "Thailog" when the video was being rewound. Did you have any such moments for Spectacular Spiderman and the other shows you worked on? Have you had any with Young Justice yet? Can you share any if they've already happened?
Begin pontification: I've never loved the Teen Titan cartoon, (plenty to like, but never loved), but I love the fact it is turning up in the shorts. Back when Disney XD was Toon Disney I wondered why they didn't run shorts. (To be fair I didn't have a TiVO at the time and it was possible they were already running the "Have a Laugh" abridged classic shorts as well as Shaun the Sheep. But they weren't running any new material.) It seemed odd to me they were trying to compete with the Cartoon Network's reach into the older demographic and didn't, for instance, declare one night a week the 10 o'clock older folks movie night, (say a Miyazaki flik), and intersperse it with shorts- gorgeous, varied, counter expectation shorts like they gleefully did for Fantasia 2000. (I had the idea a long time ago.) If some of those shorts were back door pilots...great. It worked for the Simpsons They could have led to another late evening night of new programming of new shows. They couldn't compete with cheap nostalgic cartoons or crude adult ones because that just isn't Disney. Disney can never put out a Family Guy type show under the Disney label. Maybe they could do it on ABC, but not something with Disney in the name. (Even Miyazaki's Princess Monenoke had to be released in the US under the Miramax label because a PG-13 cartoon would be problematic under the Disney label.) It a rather obvious route for a high end cartoon station to go and might have netted a few Oscars away from Pixar. Or perhaps more for Pixar. End pontification.
1. A "slug" is the section of action BETWEEN lines of dialogue. A "slugged board" is a board that's been timed, i.e. the time for each action has been calculated - and since each line of dialogue has also been timed - you have an exact length, and you know whether or not your episode is going to be long, short or right on the money. If it's long or short, we need to cut or pad to get it to time.
2. Generally, yes. But for example, I poked my head in at a recording on Monday for "Beware the Batman". And there was one actress at the record who was only in one scene, and it happened to be the last scene. So after the rehearsal, they recorded that last scene first, so that the actress wouldn't have to sit through the entire record. It's a courtesy thing. Other times, it may be a scheduling thing. But, again, generally, we record the whole episode from start to finish.
3. It happens all the time. I wish I could remember a specific example from Spidey, but nothing immediately comes to mind. And it's too soon to discuss this stuff on YJ.
4. I love DC NATION. Sincerely. I think some of the shorts have been great, and some have fallen a little flat, but in general, I LOVE the FACT that they're doing the shorts. I just wish they'd expand DC Nation to two hours or something.
5. I'm game for ANYTHING that brings me back to Gargoyles.

Beautiful day in Munich | Where have the days gone?
Monday we had a full day to spend in Munich, so after a scrumptious breakfast at our hotel (which unfortunately I forgot to photograph), we headed out to walk the 2 km through the back streets of the city to the Deutsches Museum, which is located on a island in the Isar River. We wandered around the (very extensive) museum for over 3 hours (some photos above), and then walked back to the Victualienmarkt (an open air market place) for some lunch.
First we got some freshly made juices at a juice stand, then found a nice little cafe to sit down for a late lunch, served by a really cute & perky waitress. Asparagus (Spargel, the thick white kind) was just in season, so we tried some Spargelsuppe – accompanied by some Weissbier, of course, and then house-made cakes and coffee, and then we just sat in the sunshine for a while and soaked in the Munich weekday busy-ness.

More than 100 killed in one Philippine city by Super Typhoon Haiyan
Posted 9:17 pm, November 8, 2013, by CNN Wire

By Michael Martinez and Jethro Mullen
(CNN) — More than 100 people were killed in a major Philippine coastal city that took the brunt of Super Typhoon Haiyan, authorities said Saturday.
That death toll in Tacloban was the first significant casualty report in a day when authorities began surveying the devastation of a typhoon that has been described as perhaps the strongest storm ever to make landfall in recorded history.
Capt. John Andrews, deputy director of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, told CNN that he received a radio report from the Tacloban airport station manager who said there are more than 100 bodies in the street in Tacloban and more than 100 people injured.
Traveling aboard a military cargo plane from Manila, CNN's Paula Hancocks was among the first journalists to see the catastrophe in Tacloban on Saturday.
"It looks as though a tsunami swept through here," she said by satellite phone.
The airport terminal was "completely destroyed," and shell-shocked Filipinos were gathering around the airport with the anticipation that the military was bringing food, water and medicine, Hancocks said.
Officials told her that the water surge reached the second story of structures, she said. There were at least two bodies at the airport, she added.
Every tree was flattened or snapped in half, and the timber landed on roads, blocking transportation, she said.
"You assume as you go inland you'll find more people who are injured or who have lost their lives," Hancocks said.
From the plane, she said, "you could see a lot of groundwater on the land itself, and pretty much every single tree was damaged.
"That showed the sheer force of the surge and the wind," she said. "On the ocean front, you can see the defenses were damaged."
Residents waded through waist-high water in the streets Saturday. Vehicles were turned over or piled on one another. Fallen utility poles were in the middle of roads.
Philippine officials feared the death toll would grow.
"Yes, we are worried about the eastern side, the Tacloban area," said Rene Almendras, secretary to the cabinet.
In a separate report earlier Saturday, as reports began coming in to authorities, the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council indicated at least four people were killed. At least seven people were hurt, and four people were missing, the council also said Saturday.
The destruction is expected to be catastrophic. Storm clouds covered the entire Philippines, stretching 1,120 miles — equal to a distance between Florida and Canada. The deadly wind field, or tropical storm force winds, covered an area the size of Montana or Germany.
The typhoon first roared onto the country's eastern island of Samar at 4:30 a.m. Friday, flooding streets and knocking out power and communications in many areas of the region of Eastern Visayas, and then continued its march, barreling into five other Philippine islands.
Then, predawn Saturday, it headed toward Vietnam.
Haiyan weakened Saturday and was no longer a super typhoon, rather a typhoon with sustained winds of 130 mph. But the storm could return to super typhoon status Saturday. The center of Haiyan will land again Sunday morning near the Vietnamese cities of Da Nang and Hue.
Philippine military helicopters were scheduled to take aerial surveys of the damage Saturday. Relief agencies in Manila were expected to begin traveling as long as 18 hours to reach the worst hit isles. Meanwhile, Haiyan was over the South China Sea on Saturday.
While delivering 195 mph winds with gusts reaching even 235 mph, Haiyan first landed near Dulag and Tacloban, flooding those coastal communities with a surge of water rising 40 to 50 feet, said CNN's Chad Myers.
Tacloban is the largest city in the Eastern Visayan Islands and was an important Allied logistical base during World War II, even serving as a temporary capital of the Philippines. But on Saturday, Tacloban was considered as among the areas worst hit by Haiyan, and authorities and relief agencies had no immediate information about its condition.
For purposes of comparison, Super Typhoon Haiyan packed a wallop on Philippine structures 3.5 times more forceful than the United States's Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which directly or indirectly killed 1,833 people and was the costliest hurricane in U.S. history at $108 billion, Myers said.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said America stood ready to help the Asian nation.
"Having so recently had my own visit to the Philippines prevented by another powerful storm, I know that these horrific acts of nature are a burden that you have wrestled with and courageously surmounted before. Your spirit is strong," Kerry said.
The Philippine Coast Guard reported 3,398 people were stranded on multiple watercraft early Saturday morning.
Winds unlike any other
After the storm passed over his family's home in Cebu City, Chris Ducker told CNN by phone Saturday that his family was safe, but "it's been quite a harrowing day to say the least." Part of his roof was ripped off, leaking water, he said.
When Haiyan hit Cebu City on Friday morning, it awakened Ducker.
"The first thing I noticed straightaway as soon as my eyes opened was the howling of the winds around the house," said Ducker, whose home is in the mountains with a 360-degree view.
"I've never experienced winds like this in my entire existence. I've lived in this country for 13 years and I've been through a few earthquakes, I've been through plenty of these storms. We get hit quite regularly with storms, as you probably already know. But, yes, this was something else. The rain, when I looked out of the window, the rain wasn't falling. The rain was being pushed almost at, you know, a 100-degree angle right in front of our house. It was pretty incredible," he added.
Most of the Cebu province couldn't be contacted by landlines, cell phones or radio Saturday, said Dennis Chiong, operations officer for the province's disaster risk and emergency management.
Among the early reports is how one inaccessible town, Daanbantayan, has more than 3,000 residents who "badly need food, water and shelter because most of the houses there are damaged due to the storm," Chiong said.
The town of Santa Fe in Cebu saw 20% to 30% of its residents losing their houses, but officials weren't able to determine fatalities because roads were washed out and phone service was down, information officer Marvin Camay said on the province's Facebook page.
Defenseless against the storm's might
On Bohol Island, power was still out Saturday, but cell phone coverage was restored and damaged roads were being reopened, said one relief worker.
But the big concern was how did the typhoon impact the island's 350,000 people living in tents and temporary shelters since last month's earthquake, said Joe Curry of Catholic Relief Services on Bohol.
"This one was incredibly intense and big," Curry told CNN. "The strength of this typhoon is phenomenal and the way it moved across the Philippines is something of serious concern."
He feared that the hardest hit islands will experience the most fatalities.
"Those are the ones that will have the most loss," Curry said. "There are a lot of rural areas, a lot of small islands that are affected. We don't know how they can protect themselves from a typhoon of this strength."
Clarson Fruelda, of Cebu City, said residents were cleaning up dirt, leaves, coconuts, and tree branches from their homes Friday afternoon, when the storm had passed. A CNN iReporter, she described the Filipino spirit as "waterproof."
"The winds were the strongest that I felt in more than 20 years," Fruelda told CNN. "These past few weeks were really tough for my wife and I and probably for Cebuanos as well since it was just a few weeks ago when we were hit by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake.
"We would proudly say we survived 2013 and bring it on 2014," Fruelda added.
The state-run Philippines News Agency, citing unconfirmed TV reports, said "around 20" people drowned after a storm surge struck Friday morning in Palo, a town on the island of Leyte, which abuts Samar.
"Most of the fatalities sustained massive injuries in the head and upper part of the body, indicative that strong waves dashed them against hard objects," it reported, adding that nine of the dead were minors.
Experts predicted the casualty toll would soar once aid workers get to the hardest-hit areas, many of which were totally isolated — no phone service, no electricity.
About 125,000 people took refuge in evacuation centers, and hundreds of flights were canceled.
With sustained winds of 195 mph (315 kph) and gusts as strong as 235 mph (380 kph), Haiyan may be the strongest tropical cyclone to hit land anywhere in recorded history. It will take further analysis after the storm passes to establish whether it is a record.
The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale describes winds of 157 mph (252 kph) or higher as capable of causing catastrophic damage. "A high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed, with total roof failure and wall collapse. Fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas. Power outages will last for weeks to possibly months. Most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months."
Haiyan was on a westward track when it raced into Samar traveling at 25 mph (41 kph), which meant the worst was over quickly. But the damage was severe. "About 90% of the infrastructure and establishments were heavily damaged," Gwendolyn Pang, the secretary general of the Philippine National Red Cross, told CNNI.
By early Saturday, the speed had dropped slightly, to 23 mph (37 kph).
Category 5 strength
About 25 areas in the Philippines were hit, Pang said, adding that assessment teams were prepared to enter the stricken areas as soon as conditions allowed.
But they cannot do it alone, she said: "We will be definitely needing more support for this one."
Floodwater was as high as 10 feet in some areas.
Maryann Zamora, a field communications specialist for the charity World Vision, said her organization "has been working through so many disasters, so many typhoons — but this is quite different."
"This is the strongest I ever felt so far," she said by phone from the island of Cebu.
Haiyan, known in the Philippines as Yolanda, retained much of its force as it moved westward Friday with sustained winds of 295 kph (183 mph), which put it well above the 252 kph threshold for a Category 5 hurricane, the highest category on the Saffir-Simpson scale.
Video showed streets flooded with debris and sheets of metal flying through the air.
Gov. Roger Mercado of Southern Leyte, a province in Eastern Visayas near the storm's path, said Friday morning that fallen trees had made all roads impassable. "We don't know the extent of the damage," he said. "We are trying to estimate this. We are prepared, but this is really a wallop."
With sea travel suspended in many areas, more than 3,000 travelers were stranded in ports, the council said.
Meteorologists said it maintained super-typhoon intensity throughout its passage over the Philippines. A super typhoon has surface winds that sustain speeds of more than 149 mph (240 kph) for at least a minute, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
CNN's Aliza Kassim, Karen Smith, Elwyn Lopez, Judy Kwon, Taylor Ward, Brandon Miller, Ivan Cabrera and Mari Ramos contributed to this report. Paula Hancocks in Manila also contributed.

Supporters of the gig economy talk about empowerment, flexibility and entrepreneurship; critics are concerned about the lack of stability, low pay and exploitation.
With nearly five million UK workers classed as self-employed and in 'non-traditional' employment, the gig economy is under increasing scrutiny in the courts and in government. Supporters of the gig economy talk about empowerment, flexibility and entrepreneurship; critics are concerned about the lack of stability, low pay and exploitation.
So what is the current situation, and what do recent court decisions and consultations mean for employers and workers going forward?
These individuals operate their own businesses, absorbing any risks, and are thus not entitled to workers or employee rights. Any rights they have are contained in the contracts formed with clients.
Employees carry out work regulated by an employment contract, and on top of the basic workers' rights, they are entitled to maternity, paternity and sick pay. They have the fullest protection under UK employment law, including the right not to be unfairly dismissed and to receive a statutory redundancy payment.
A quick summary of the cases so far shows the Courts offering protection to a variety of "workers".
Addison Lee – drivers required to hire car from AL's associated company and not to use vehicle for any other commercial purposes. Not uncommon for drivers to earn all of their income from their driving job with AL.
Addison Lee – their fleet of cycle couriers provided a service for AL, and there was mutuality of obligation all the time the courier was logged on to the app.
CitySprint – cycle couriers required to log on to tracking system and wear their uniform.
Pimlico Plumbers – plumber normally had to be available for minimum of 40 hours per week and had to wear uniform.
Deliveroo cycle couriers, however, were found to be self-employed. Why? Because there was evidence of a genuine right of substitution where some cycle couriers sub-contracted the delivery work to others, and took a cut of the fee earned.
These issues are also extremely important so far as tax treatment is concerned, where the position is slightly different than under UK employment law. For HMRC purposes, there are just two categories – self-employed or employed.
In the above cases, the company was treating the individual as "self-employed". Even if the individual was paying tax and NI through the self-assessment process, there is a risk that nevertheless HMRC could seek to recover tax, interest and penalties from the company.
In one recent case, drivers working for a haulage business were found to be employees for tax purposes as the business provided them with lorries and drivers were paid fixed rates.
In 2017 the Good Work: The Taylor Review of Modern Working Practises report lamented the ambiguities under current law pertaining to the distinction between workers and self-employed persons, and advocates for statutory reform to clarify this distinction. Increased clarity would protect individuals by allowing them to know what statutory rights they have, and help business mitigate against falling victim to unfair advantages being awarded to competitors who attempt to take advantage of the absence of workers' rights for independent contractors.
In response to the Taylor Review, the government released a report in February 2018 in which they agreed that "everyone [should] be able to have easy access to information about their working arrangements and what rights they should have".
That the right to a written statement of terms of employment be extended to all workers, including those on zero hours contracts.
That all workers be entitled to itemised payslips from April 2019.
That the one week gap between assignments to preserve continuous employment be increased.
It is estimated that around 40% of EU citizens are part of the "irregular labour market" ie. self-employed, part-time etc. In September 2017, the European Commission announced it was pressing EU members to ensure a higher level of protection for these individuals in terms of social security benefits and maternity rights. The output from the Commission's consultation is awaited.
There is still very much a place for the zero hours worker in the UK economy. If you would like advice on how to structure this contractually, or on any employment law matter, please contact Greg Burgess on 01293 558547 or any member of The DMH Stallard Employment team.

Too bad...was really excited about the new Snagit v13 and decided to pay and upgrade. So far, I am really disappointed. The program, especially the Editor, is slow and seems to struggle and crash quite a lot, on average twice a day. Eagerly awaiting a new update without bugs.
What did support say when you provided them with the detailed description of the issues you are dealing with?
I'm asking because in case others have similar issues they may be able to fix them faster.
I've been using Snagit 13 since it came out and all previous versions back to version 9 and if I had issues, support was usually quick to resolve them or tell me why they couldn't.
Getting to be unusable. Crashing 3-4 times a day and getting worse. Now it's crashing the app I'm taking Snagit's of. 13 has real issues. I've been a Snagit user for years. This is very disappointing.
What did support say after you gave them a detailed explanation of what was happening?
I have submitted a ticket to support. Filing a "detailed explanation" is not possible due to the erratic and totally unexpected crash behaviour. However, I tried, so we'll see what they say.
With version 13 I had similar experience for weeks. The good news is: you may downgrade to Version 12 which works fine and even with the license from Version 13. I have done it this way and will stay tuned for a newer and more reliable update for Version 13.
Rolled back to v12.4.1. and loving it. Speed and stability are back, both in making screen captures and editing. Will wait with upgrade again to v13.x once I am convinced all bugs have been resolved.

As more and more businesses pick up the need to cater for mobile technology, it's increasingly the case that they look to mobile app developers to create unique services and flawless experiences for their customers. If you provide a digital service, or want a way to promote your other services via mobile, an app is essential.
Of course, this begs the question of how to make an app, and what method to use. iOS development is a very different beast to Android development, but it's increasingly necessary to cater for both markets, as each has a significant share of users. So what is the preferable route to take for mobile app development? Should you go for an app native to your intended operating system, an app built on a platform, or a web-based HTML5 app?
Native apps are the 'gold standard' in mobile app development – using the coding language native to the device's operating system (Java for Android, Objective-C for iOS), a native mobile app can take full advantage of the features of the device, offering a smooth and fast experience. A native app will offer the most 'solid', flawless experience of the three options.
However, this performance comes at a cost. Given the specificity of each language, a larger development team may be needed for an app, and this may double in size if you want to offer the app across multiple systems – mobile app development for Android will be almost wholly different to development for iOS. As the apps are made native to device's app stores, updating and maintaining the apps can be more expensive, too.
Native apps are a great option for a flawless user experience, but require a significant commitment to build and maintain.
More and more people are turning to platforms for their app development. Platforms often provide an all-in-one app development, maintenance and back-end solution. They allow for a single coding language to be used to build the app, which is then translated to the relevant operating system.
Platform-based apps often provide most bang-for-buck, insofar as they leverage the best technologies to create mature, reliable apps across multiple devices. As with native, platform app development is not the cheapest option, but it's a very reliable one when cross-device compatibility, easy maintenance, and solid back-end are needed.
Web apps are the new 'up and coming' contender. Much has been said (and will be said!) about the possibilities of HTML5, and it's certain that this standard will only mature in years to come.
HTML5 apps are basically packaged websites, which means the skills required to produce them are transferable, and thus costs can be quite low. They're more easily maintained than native and platform apps, and they are a good option for getting functionality across varying device operating systems.
However, the technology is still young, so there can be a number of drawbacks to using web apps – certain features on the device may not be accessible to web apps, and the app will almost certainly be less efficient, and slower than native and platform apps.
One thing that is certain is that the demand for apps isn't going to go away. It's important, then, to recognise that having an app developed isn't a one-off affair, to be done quickly and forgotten about. A app is an integral part of how your customers and clients will interact with your company and brand, and expectations, both now and in the future, will need to be met, and standards maintained.
This means your mobile app development planning will need to account for the future. Not only will you want to make sure that your app will stand the test of time in functionality and looks, or, at least, that you are committed to updating these factors as and when they are needed, but you will also need to commit to the maintenance and updating of the back-end.

The North Shore consists of many affluent suburbs north of Chicago, Illinois, bordering the shores of Lake Michigan. These communities fall within suburban Cook County and Lake County. The North Shore's membership is often a topic of debate, and is sometimes expanded to include other affluent Chicago suburbs which do not border Lake Michigan. However, Evanston, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, and Lake Bluff are generally considered to be the core members of the North Shore, as all are affluent communities that border the lake just north of Chicago. Other suburbs such as Glenview, Northbrook, Deerfield, Highwood, Skokie, and Northfield are often considered to be a part of the North Shore, but do not border Lake Michigan.
Today the North Shore remains one of the most affluent and highly educated areas in the United States. Seven of its communities are in the top quintile of U.S. household income, and five of those (Lake Forest, Glencoe, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Highland Park) are in the top 5 percent. From Evanston to Lake Bluff, only Highwood falls below the national median.[citation needed]
The North Shore is also the home of the Ravinia Festival, a historic outdoor music theater in Highland Park, Illinois. The Ravinia Festival, originally conceived as a weekend destination on the CNS&M line, is now a popular destination on the Metra Union Pacific North Line commuter rail, the North Shore Line's former competitor.
The abandoned right-of-way of the North Shore Line still serves Ravinia as the Green Bay Trail, a popular rails-to-trails bicycle path that begins in Wilmette and runs north all the way to the Illinois Beach State Park in Zion.

The photo at issue depicts a dockless bike on a sidewalk. The New York Post published an article on dockless bikes and included the photo. You can get a sense of that story from my screenshot of the NY Post article at the right. However, I deliberately did not include the whole photo for risk management reasons, even though seeing the whole photo and newspaper page would be more helpful to you. The court never says that the NY Post had proper licenses to the photo, but it's implied that it did, and it wouldn't matter to the results either way.
Shortly thereafter, the Daily Bike Forecast blog wrote a blog post criticizing the NY Post article. It appears the blog drops posts after a few months, so I couldn't find the blog post online (otherwise, I would have included a screenshot of it!). The blog post included a screenshot of the NY Post's article, but only the headline, byline and photo (similar to my screenshot at the right, though I presume it included the entire photo instead of my cropped depiction). The blog post then fisks the NY Post article, pointing out that the photo provides evidence contradicting the article text (as you might infer from my screenshot, the bike in the photo didn't actually block the sidewalk despite the headline's "clogging" claim).
use of the Photograph constitutes an expression of the author's perception of basic flaws in the Post's coverage of the topic. The Photograph as a standalone image, or a different photograph of a dockless bicycle, would not have sufficed.
The court says it's still transformative that the blog post critiqued the NY Post article, not the photo directly. It also helped that the blog post was an opinion piece on a non-profit organization's blog.
Nature of Work. The photo has "a modicum of artfulness," but this factor isn't that important.
Post Article to highlight the Post's decision to place this particular photograph directly alongside the Post Article's headline." As you can see from my cropping to include less than 100% of the photo, it doesn't confirm that the sidewalk is clear, though the entire photo does make that clear. So I think it's impossible to crop this photo and still support the blogger's claim.
The court concludes by implying that maybe this lawsuit is part of a litigation factory: "Clark's arguments so fail to track the facts of this case that they read as if taken from briefing in litigation over an entirely different fact pattern." This probably plays a non-trivial role in the court's willingness to find fair use on a motion to dismiss. Given the tenor of this ruling, I expect that the court will award a 505 attorneys' fee shift if the defendant asks for it, in which case this lawsuit will be an expensive mistake by the plaintiff.
This ruling reaches the sensible inclusion that screenshotting a newspaper headline and photo, in order to critique the article's inclusion of the photo, constitutes fair use. Yet, this result superficially conflicts with an uncited ruling we blogged in December, Hirsch v. Complex Media–also from SDNY. That case also involved a vlogger's republication of a screenshot of a NY Post headline and photo, in a video story where the screenshot appeared for no more than 4 seconds. Yet, unlike the Clark ruling, the Hirsch court denied the defendant's motion to dismiss.
commentary on the photo. The blogger obviously commented on the photo, while arguably the vlogger focused more on the newspaper headline and didn't necessarily comment on the photo as such. I still think that the vlogger should qualify for fair use, but maybe the court will be more amenable on summary judgment. (I checked the Hirsch case and it's been dormant since the December ruling).
blog post vs. video. Maybe the expectations differ for video, where the vlogger can control the duration of the depiction? The vlogger displayed the photo for a very short time (only 2 seconds were unblurred), so this hypothesis doesn't seem likely.
advocacy. The plaintiff lawyer clearly didn't impress the judge, and perhaps that meant the case wasn't as well-argued as it could have been.
this opinion suggests that any collateral copyrighted material in the screenshot–such as a photo the newspaper licensed from a third party–is liability bait, no matter how briefly it's shown. Fortunately, there is an obvious but suboptimal solution. Video producers taking screenshots of third party newspapers need to blur EVERYTHING–ESPECIALLY PHOTOS–other than the minimum they need to establish their point.
All of this is silly. Screenshots are a helpful and integral part of the information ecosystem. I hope we get more screenshotting rulings on a motion to dismiss (+ fee shifts) so we can redirect our energies to more meritorious problems.

Home College Football Bowl Games Las Vegas Bowl
3:30PM ET, December 17th - Houston vs. San Diego State - ABC
This bowl game promises to be an interesting one. No doubt much of the talk before this game starts will be about how Tom Herman left Houston for Texas even before they figured out what bowl they would be getting into. My gut tells me that this will make it just that much harder for Houston to get going but then I am reminded that they have Greg Ward Jr. This will be the 25th anniversary Las Vegas Bowl with the first one being back in 1992. Back in the early 1990's this game was played between the winners of the Big West and Mid-American Conferences. These days it seems like most committees that host bowl games are looking for the best ratings possible rather than the traditional roles that are expected. This is why the 6th place AAC team is playing the winner of the MWC. Don't get me wrong, this is a great choice and believe it or not I find this game to be one of the best ones to watch.
Key Players: Greg Ward Jr. is obviously going to be the key player for both teams. If he gets going he is much like Lamar Jackson in that you cannot stop him. Another intriguing story line is Donnel Pumphrey is coming home to Las Vegas and has over 2,000 yards rushing this season alone.

Who – San Diego State Aztecs and Houston Cougars
What – Geico Las Vegas Bowl (Las Vegas Bowl Presented by Geico)
When – 3:30PM ET on December 17th, 2016
Where – Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is the stadium used for UNLV's football team and it holds up to 40,000 people. This bowl being in Las Vegas makes it somewhat appealing because of all of the entertainment in the area. This game will be televised on ABC.
Why – San Diego State won the Mountain West Conference and Houston was more than likely a grab for ratings. They finished 6th in the American Athletic Conference (4th in their own division). Don't let their finish fool you as they can score the ball at will on good days. It really just all depends on which Houston team shows up to play.
My Pick: I give Houston the edge assuming Greg Ward Jr. decides to show up to the game. If the Houston defense can stop Pumphrey and control the time of possession they will be golden.
