California utility giant Pacific Gas and Electric Co. has agreed to a second large settlement over devastating wildfires, saying it will pay $11 billion to resolve insurance companies’ claims from fires in Northern California’s wine country in 2017 and the 2018 Camp Fire.
“These claims are based on payments made by insurance companies to individuals and businesses with insurance coverage for wildfire damages” in those catastrophic blazes, PG&E said in announcing the deal.
While the $11 billion sum is large, it’s far smaller than the roughly $20 billion that a group of insurance companies had sought, after paying out billions to California wildfire victims.
The settlement will require the approval of a bankruptcy court, as PG&E recently entered into a Chapter 11 reorganization plan, after declaring bankruptcy in January.

Full Moon Feature: Alpha Wolf (2018)
This month marks a milestone of sorts since this is my 100th Full Moon Feature for Werewolf News. To mark the occasion, I could revisit an old favorite (like An American Werewolf in London, which I covered in my very first column eight years ago) or take stock of everything I’ve seen and learned in the time I’ve been contributing to this fine site. Or I could eviscerate some half-assed werewolf…
Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives’ original motion picture soundtrack is available on vinyl for $40 via Waxwork Records. The score is composed by Harry Manfredini (Friday the 13th) and includes some music not heard in the film, sourced from the original masters.
Scheduled to ship in October, the album is pressed on 180-gram vinyl with two color variants: “Cemetery Explosion” (red with blue and white splatter) and “Electric Purple Lightning” (clear with purple and white marble). It’s housed in a gatefold jacket featuring artwork by Gary Pullin.
Panel of Hesy-Ra, Overseer of the Royal Scribes
Hesy-Ra was a high official during the 3rd Dynasty. He had a large Mastaba at Saqqara from which came 11 engraved wooden panels.
These covered the rear walls of niches that were carved in the west wall of his tomb. Hesy-Ra held important positions, such as Chief of the Royal Scribes, the Greatest of the Tens of Upper Egypt, Chief of Buto, and Chief Dentist.
The six best-preserved panels are now on exhibit in the Egyptian Museum. They show Hesy-Ra in different positions and at various ages. Hieroglyphic inscriptions give his names and titles.
In all these scenes, the artist succeeded in showing the fine details of the hieroglyphs. He also rendered the exact facial features of the man at different stages of his life as well as the detailed modeling of his body.
