Super Bowl LIV 2020 54th February 2, 2020
Super Bowl 54 is shaping up to be one of the most watched, with the playoffs closing in it could be either AFC Kansas City Chiefs or San Francisco 49ers vs NFC Tennessee Titans or Green Bay Packers after the Jan 19 playoff games.
As the game nears so does the anticipation of ads, with Trump and Bloomberg scheduled to spend millions in advertising during the game. The half-time show which is as interesting as the game will be Jennifer Lopez and Shakira with the game taking place at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Gardens, Florida.
Advertisers include, Kia Motors, GM, Anheuser-Busch, Audi, Coca-Cola, Avocados from Mexico, Facebook, Hyundai, Pop-Tarts, Olay, New York Life, Pringles, Pepsi-SodaStream, Sabra, Snickers, Toyota, Trump, Bloomberg, Turbotax, Porsche, WeatherTech.
Considering each ad costs a minimum of $10 million, do these companies really benefit from this exposure and expense?
With Super Bowl 55 also scheduled to be played in Florida, Los Angeles is scheduled to host Super Bowl 56 at the under construction SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, slated for February 6, 2022, but that date could change. The last time Los Angeles hosted a Super Bowl was in 1993 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
Satellite Internet Service Provider – Amazon Kuiper, SpaceX Starlink, Softbank OneWeb
Traditional cable and telco companies are about to get some competition from wireless carriers and satellite operators. The most promising for consumers is SpaceX which is already testing with the dozens of satellites it has already launched. We could see SpaceX Startlink start beta testing with customers in 2020. Amazon is also making serious investments into the low earth orbit services internet business, and then there's Softbank OneWeb.
SpaceX Starlink
Starlink is targeting service in the Northern U.S. and Canada in 2020, rapidly expanding to near global coverage of the populated world by 2021.
Softbank OneWeb
Amazon: Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low-latency, high-speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

Pasadena Mayoral Candidates
Forum on the Environment — January 14
The Arroyo Seco Foundation will host the Pasadena Mayoral Candidates Forum on the Environment to be held in the Donald Wright Auditorium of the Pasadena Central Library, 285 E. Walnut St. in Pasadena on Tuesday, January 14, 2020 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. The theme of the event will be "How Green Should Pasadena Be?" Topics to be covered will include climate change, the Arroyo Seco and trees, among other issues of local concern.
The program will begin with a brief opening statement from each of the four candidates on their environmental record and views. The candidates include Jason Hardin, Victor Gordo, Major Williams and current Mayor Terry Tornek. Following the initial statements, there will be a panel of local environmental leaders who will ask questions of the candidates. The public will also be invited to ask questions of the candidates. The event will conclude at 8:30 pm.
The discussion is a timely event since the primary election for the Mayor's race will be held on March 3, 2020. "We are pleased that all four candidates have confirmed their participation," said Tim Brick, Managing Director of the Arroyo Seco Foundation, "and look forward to a lively discussion of critical environmental concerns and solutions."
Feb 4, 2020:
Pasadena, CA — On February 4, 2020, Pasadena voters will gather at Robinson Recreation Center (1081 N. Fair Oaks Ave.) to attend the city's first-ever youth-led Climate Action Forum. All mayoral and city council candidates have been invited to attend the forum and discuss their ideas and vision for how Pasadena can be a leader on the climate crisis and be a more sustainable, climate-resilient city.
"Pasadena is in a unique position to be a leader on the climate crisis, and cities like ours have a responsibility to lead during a period of federal inaction," said Ozzy Simpson, a senior at Sequoyah School and co-organizer of the Pasadena Climate Action Forum. "Local, systemic change—such as enhanced public transportation systems, cleaner and renewable energy, and energy-efficient buildings—from mayors and city councilmembers is required."
For the first time in Pasadena history, the forum's moderating panel will be composed entirely of people under the age of 35, highlighting that young people have the most at stake in addressing the climate crisis. Pasadena's youth vote is also expected to surge in the March 3 elections, given mobilizing issues like the climate crisis and Pasadena's elections sharing the same ballot as higher-turnout statewide and primary elections.
Mayoral candidates will participate in their own portion of the forum from 6 to 7 PM, while city council candidates will participate from 7 to 8 PM. Prior to the forum, local environmental groups will table to share how concerned voters can get involved in their organizations.
The Pasadena Climate Action Forum builds on the recent momentum from local students who led the September 20 and December 6 climate strikes at Pasadena City Hall in an effort to make the city take serious action against the climate crisis. At the December 6 climate strike, three city council candidates and one mayoral candidate signed the Green New Deal pledge, committing themselves to championing the legislation on a federal and local level as well as not accepting donations of over $200 from the fossil fuel industry. The sitting mayor and councilmembers were asked by local students to sign the same pledge on December 9.
The Pasadena Climate Action Forum is being organized by an intergenerational coalition of local organizations concerned about the climate crisis, including the newly formed Sunrise Sequoyah hub, Pasadena Environmental Advocates, Day One, Pasadena Complete Streets Coalition, and more. If other organizations are interested in joining, please contact Ozzy and David at the numbers listed at the top of this press release.
