  • West Hollywood, California's Go-To-Guide to the City's Three
    West Hollywood, California’s go-to-guide to the City’s Three Districts The Sunset Strip After decades of notoriety, the Sunset Strip continues to blaze its own path as a world-famous cultural landmark, setting trends in music, hotels, dining and shopping. This most famous stretch of Sunset Boulevard begins and ends in West Hollywood, and like the city it calls home, it is constantly breaking new ground and reinventing itself. Though it’s often been portrayed in movies like Sunset Boulevard, Almost Famous and Rock of Ages, visitors say that nothing compares to seeing the Sunset Strip up close and in person. Bordered on the west by Beverly Hills and on the east by Hollywood, this iconic 1.5 mile stretch of Sunset Boulevard features an array of world-class hotels, nightclubs, restaurants, shops and spas. Through the years, the Sunset Strip has seen it all, starting with the seedy glitz of the 1920s, when Prohibition fueled the rise of nightclubs and speakeasies. Because West Hollywood was not yet an incorporated city, this strip of Sunset Boulevard was lightly policed, making the Strip the perfect playground for the rebellious denizens of early Hollywood. By the 1940s, swanky nightclubs like Ciro’s, Trocadero and Mocambo reigned supreme, attracting A-list celebrity clientele like Marilyn Monroe along with less savory characters like gangster Bugsy Siegel, who called the Strip his stomping grounds. In the 1960s, the Sunset Strip became the major gathering place for the counterculture movement in Los Angeles. Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison were fixtures of the Strip and the surrounding West Hollywood landscape.

Imbens and Jeffrey M. Wooldridge* Many empirical questions in economics and other social sciences depend on causal effects of programs or policies. In the last two decades, much research has been done on the econometric and statistical analysis of such causal effects. This recent theoreti- cal literature has built on, and combined features of, earlier work in both the statistics and econometrics literatures. It has by now reached a level of maturity that makes it an important tool in many areas of empirical research in economics, including labor economics, public finance, development economics, industrial organization, and other areas of empirical microeconomics. In this review, we discuss some of the recent developments. We focus primarily on practical issues for empirical research- ers, as well as provide a historical overview of the area and give references to more technical research. 1.

  • PETITION: Sign the Petition to Say No to Hunting of Songbirds in Norway
    CREATED BY: Norsk Ornitologisk Forening POWERED BY PRINTED ON: August 29, 2016 VIEW ONLINE: https://www.causes.com/actions/1784721 PETITION: Sign the Petition to Say no to hunting of songbirds in Norway! To: Say no to hunting of songbirds in Norway! BirdLife Norway are deeply worried about the slaughter of migratory birds in Europe. Many of the birds that lose their lives in southern Europe are Norwegian birds. And now the authorities in Norway are proposing to start hunting of both Song Thrushes and Blackbirds. BirdLife Norway has started a petition against this proposal, and the petition will be handed over to the authorities in August. Support our campaign by signing the petition! There are many reasons why such a hunting proposal must not become a reality, and there are no good grounds to start hunting of these species. These birds have little flesh, and one would need to kill at least four thrushes to provide one meal portion. There is little tradition for this type of hunting in Norway. Most people like to see Blackbirds, which are regular visitors to bird tables. Song Thrushes liven up spring evenings with their beautiful song. Why shoot birds with such fantastic intrinsic values, whose very presence fills us with joy? Hunting of two other thrush species, Redwing and Fieldfare, is currently permitted in Norway.
