Unwind, relax, and enjoy our tranquil lifestyle. 1 Editor: Diego Guzman Copywriters: Jen Crandall Jeffrey Ferman Design: Diego Guzman Photography: Diego Guzman Cabo Rockwell Victor Chavez Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ricardoamigorealestate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raretodossantos/ Blog: http://todossantosblog.com/ On the cover... CASA BELLA A luxury home overlooking it all. 4BR/4.5BA above the Pacific Ocean. Separate caretaker’s quarters. Full details on pages 10 - 13 2 Thank you for picking up our magazine! I hope that you find it useful in your search of a property here in Paradise. Our mantra here at Ricardo Amigo Real Estate is: “WE GET WHY YOU’RE HERE!” I write this in our ads, attach it to our handouts, and repeat it at staff meetings because I want you, as a buyer, to know that my team and I have all been through this experience, and the common thread be- tween all of us is that we wanted a different way of life than what we knew. The inspiration to make the change to live here full- or part-time, or to just invest in the Todos Santos area to have something for the future, comes from that peaceful and tranquil feeling that envelops you when you are here... I felt it immediately on my first visit, and two months later, I came back to stay. It has now been almost 18 years and I can gratefully say that this feeling prevails as a part of my daily life.

Under evaluation is a distinct coastal boulder bed (CBB) derived from banded rhyolite with boulders arrayed in a partial-ring configuration against one side of the headland on Ensenada Almeja (Clam Bay) north of Loreto. Preconditions related to the thickness of rhyolite flows and vertical fissures that intersect the flows at right angles along with the specific gravity of banded rhyolite delimit the size, shape and weight of boulders in the Almeja CBB. Mathematical formulae are applied to calculate the wave height generated by storm surge impacting the headland. The average weight of the 25 largest boulders from a transect nearest the bedrock source amounts to 1200 kg but only 30% of the sample is estimated to exceed a full metric ton in weight.

  • Rethinking Mexico and Its Ties to Silicon Valley Neighboring Nation’S Young Venture Capital Industry Is Growing Rapidly
    Opinion: Rethinking Mexico and its ties to Silicon Valley Neighboring nation’s young venture capital industry is growing rapidly Sean Randolph – July 3, 2021 When Americans think about Mexico many things may come to mind — immigration, cartels or perhaps beaches. Technology and innovation are probably not on that list but reflect that a new reality is taking hold across Mexico — led by investors, entrepreneurs and leaders in states and cities — that is moving Mexico onto the map of U.S. technology and innovation partners. In this transformation, Silicon Valley’s role looms large. Here’s why. Mexico’s young venture capital industry is growing rapidly. From $55 million in 2010, annual investment has grown to more than $1 billion. Softbank’s $5 billion Innovation Fund, created several years ago to invest in Latin America, was a turning point that put Mexico on the global venture map. Now the country boasts unicorns and fast-growing startups. More are on the way, supported by universities, accelerators and by large tech and startup conferences such as Talent Land in Guadalajara and INCmty on Monterrey. This activity is concentrated in a number of states and cities that are strengthening their base in R&D and are working hard to build local innovation systems. The most noteworthy are Tijuana, Juarez, Monterrey, Mexico City and Guadalajara, as well as Merida (in Yucatan) and states in the central El Bajio region. Each has distinct features: • Mexico City, home to the national government, top universities, leading companies and most of its venture capital industry is building its digital capacity and benefits from sheer size.

  • Screendollars
    Monday, May 24, 2021 | No. 169 When Star Wars opened May 25, 1977 no one but Steven Spielberg thought it would be a hit. George Lucas had been turned down by Universal, United Artists and Disney before pitching 20th Century Fox his sci-fi epic inspired by 1930's serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, the 1966 TV series Star Trek and Frank Herbert's 1965 novel Dune. Fox creative affairs chief Alan Ladd, Jr. greenlighted SW, but Fox's distribution arm never considered it a likely hit. Fox marketers wanted to change the title because moviegoers might think Star Wars was about the Vietnam War or, perhaps, superstars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's divorce. When Lucas screened a rough cut for some director pals, they weren't impressed. Brian De Palma reportedly called it the "worst movie" ever made. Spielberg, however, predicted SW would be "the biggest movie of all time." Lucas thought SW was doomed and skipped its premiere to vacation with Spielberg in Hawaii where they heard SW was a boxoffice phenomenon and then came up with a new project to do together -- Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), the first Indiana Jones blockbuster. Exhibitors were reluctant to book SW, thinking only kids and sci-fi buffs would buy tickets, so it opened at just 32 theatres. Two days later, it was in 43 theatres and a week later in 157. It peaked in mid-August at 1,096, a very wide run then. Produced for $11 million, its original release did $461 million domestically and $196 million abroad – huge numbers at Theatrical Poster for Star Wars, the time.

  • Figure 1. Regional Location Map
    Figure 1. Regional Location Map - 2 - INTRODUCTION SCOPE AND PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The updated San Ysidro Community Plan (Plan) is a comprehensive revision of the original plan adopted in 1974 and includes the urbanized portion of the Tijuana River Valley. The update was authorized at the City Council budget hearings of July 1987 and work on the project began in December of that year. The Planning Department, with the assistance of the San Ysidro Planning and Development Group, has studied San Ysidro’s major issues and challenges and has developed alternative solutions to realize the community’s potential. Included in the Plan is a set of recommendations based upon those alternative solutions to guide the development and the redevelopment of the San Ysidro community. Formal adoption of the revised Plan requires that the Planning Commission and City Council follow the same procedure of holding public hearings as was followed in adopting the original community plan. Adoption of the Plan also requires an amendment of the Progress Guide and General Plan (General Plan) for the City, which will occur at the first regularly scheduled General Plan amendment hearing following adoption of this Plan. Once the Plan is adopted, any amendments, additions or deletions will require that the Planning Commission and City Council follow City Council Policy 600-35 regarding the procedure for Plan amendments. Although this Plan sets forth procedures for implementation, it does not establish new regulations or legislation, nor does it rezone property. The rezoning and design controls recommended in the Plan will be enacted concurrently with Plan adoption.
