The ProBatter PX3 baseball and softball pitching simulators will be the crown jewels at the Dingers Batting Cages training facility (located within the Escondido Mall) when it celebrates its grand opening on Sunday, March 10. There will be free pizza, raffle prizes and home run derbies. The ultra sophisticated ProBatter pitching simulator combines the latest computer and video technology to recreate the experience of facing live pitching in a closed environment. The experience is startlingly real - comparable to what an aircraft pilot experiences in a flight simulator - with an actual ball being delivered at speeds up to 100 mph. The Cincinnati Reds, New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates have all purchased the systems to use for player training. Dedicated to teaching and developing baseball and softball players of every age and performance level, Dingers Batting Cages is designed to be a premier facility of its kind. Batting cages are available to book for birthday parties, team practices or special events with catered food options from the mall. Visit www.dingersbattingcages.com to learn more.

Okorie Johnson is an American cellist-songwriter who performs under the moniker OkCello. His artistry integrates cello performance, live-sound-looping, improvisation, and storytelling - all culminating in original compositions that collide classical with jazz, EDM, reggae, and funk. OkCello is inspired by the exploration of African Diasporic melodies and narratives and their intersection with people’s perceptions and assumptions about the classical and European nature of the cello. As well, his work with improvisation attempts to embody the phenomenon of wordless prayer. Over his career, Okorie has had the opportunity to perform and/or record with India.Arie, De La Soul, and Big Boi of OutKast, amongst many others. Okorie describes his circuitous route to this unusual solo cello career in the following quote: “After years of putting my cello down and picking it back up, after years of deciding that the cello wasn’t financially practical, after years of thinking that my other voices were my native ones, I realized that the cello was the oldest, the most central and the most sacred part of me. I resolved never, ever, to deny it again.” Visit: https://www.museumofmakingmusic.org/events/okcello Okorie “Okcello” Johnson on Facebook / Instagram

AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents a virtual PAST FORWARD conversation exploring the relationship between women's demeanor, appearance, and fashion choices and their opportunities for advancement in workplaces built by and for men. This conversation is inspired in part by the new film "Fly With Me". Panelists will discuss the ways in which women are made to toe the line between authority and “femininity” in the ways they present themselves at work. They will also explore the historical origins of these pressures, and the different forms they take depending on the race and class of the women involved.
