  • L.A. Opens Applications to Grants for Artists a Ected by COVID-19
    L.A. Opens Applications to Grants for Artists Aected by COVID-19 By City News Service Published August 14, 2020 Los Angeles began oering artists in the city the chance to apply for one-time grant of $500 to $1,500 today if they can demonstrate that they’ve been adversely aected by the coronavirus. The grants are available until Sept. 1 or until the rst 600 applicants have been approved. The citywide COVID-19 Emergency Response Program for Individual Artists, administered by the Department of Cultural Aairs, is the rst COVID- 19 relief fund specically for individual artists. ADVERTISEMENT “Local artists and arts nonprots are the creative heart of Los Angeles,” Councilman David Ryu said. “The work of writers, musicians, painters and all artists help make Los Angeles the vibrant and dynamic city we love.” To qualify, artists must demonstrate nancial need and detrimental eects caused by COVID-19, such as an inability to pay rent or bills. Funds are available to artists of all kinds, including DJs, writers, visual artists and more, Ryu said. Artists can apply for the grants at culturela.org/grants-and- calls/citywide-covid-19-emergency-response- program-for-individual-artists/ . The $340,000 fund was created after Ryu introduced a motion seeking to repurpose his council district’s Arts Development Fee fund, money that comes to each council district from commercial developments that can be used to support arts projects, facilities and arts education programs that are free or low-cost and accessible to the public. Councilmen Gil Cedillo, Bob Blumeneld, Paul Koretz, Marqueece Harris- Dawson, Herb Wesson and Joe Buscaino added their Arts Development Fee fund dollars as well.

  • Letter on LA Wildlife Ordinance
    August 9, 2021 Re: Draft Wildlife Ordinance Lena Mik Alexander Linz City of Los Angeles Department of City Planning 221 N. Figueroa Street, Room 1350 Los Angeles, California, 90012 [email protected] Dear Department of City Planning: We greatly appreciate the efforts of the Department of City Planning and the City Council in prioritizing the development of the Wildlife Pilot Study and Wildlife Ordinance. We have reviewed the May 2021 draft of the Wildlife Ordinance (the “Draft Ordinance”) and view it as a positive step in protecting the City’s biodiversity and open space for both people and wildlife. We offer the following six recommendations to improve the Draft Ordinance and ensure that it fulfills its stated goals of maintaining and protecting wildlife and ecosystems, and providing co-benefits including climate resilience, resource management, and public health. Recommendation #1: Increase the required buffer from the resources set forth in Table 4.1 to 300 feet. We strongly recommend that the buffer width from the resources described in Table 4.1 be increased to 300 feet. This recommendation is consistent with the Sustainable LA Grand Challenge Sustainability Report Card for Los Angeles County1 which recommends protecting 100% of natural area and critical habitat corridors and restricting development within 100 feet of a channelized river/stream and 300 feet of a soft bed river/stream. Increased buffer widths are consistent with other scientific literature, which indicates that recommended buffers often far exceed 100 meters (~325 feet), well beyond the largest buffers implemented in practice (Robins, 2002). For example, Kilgo et al. (1998) recommend more than 1,600 feet of riparian buffer to sustain bird diversity.

Pacific Palisades is home to iconic Will Rogers State Beach (WRSB), a beloved recreational resource visited annually by millions of individuals and families from throughout the region and beyond. The Palisades community treasures WRSB; for many years, community volunteers – including members of the Pacific Palisades Task Force on Homelessness – have devoted time and resources to its preservation and protection, for the benefit of all who visit and lawfully use this beautiful public space: Palisadians, non- Palisadians, the housed and the unhoused, alike. PPCC strongly opposes any proposal – including the proposal in Councilmember Bonin’s motion in CF 21-0350 (Motion) for a “study” – to use beaches, beach parking lots and/or parks for homeless housing.

  • Educational and Therapeutic Impact of Contemporary Animated Film Characters on the Viewer
    Konteksty Pedagogiczne 2(11)/2018, s. 151–163 DOI: 10.19265/KP.2018.211151 www.kontekstypedagogiczne.pl Joanna Mytnik [email protected] University of Bialystok ORCID iD: 0000-0003-3924-8188 Educational and therapeutic impact of contemporary animated film characters on the viewer Introduction From the beginning of its existence, films have been evoking interest and giving inspiration. A motion picture has been a tool for many practition- ers. Educators, psychologists, therapists, and animators have long appreci- ated and used film art in their work. Considering the increasing pervasion of the mass media into human life, its presence in many aspects of human functioning, it is necessary to pay close attention to the power of its influ- ence. It is worth noting that the products of popular culture do not only carry risks. Films created for commercial purposes also serve higher purposes, not just entertainment. Being easier in perception for the viewer at any age (through the frequency of contact with this cultural product), it can influence their emotions more strongly, encourage deeper mental work and stimulate reflection. In this article I would like to focus primarily on the possibilities of supporting upbringing and human development, referring to the assump- tions of film therapy (Kozubek, 2016). According to Depta, “the starting point of educational work with a film should be the use of such films that are most popular among young viewers while increasing their cognitive horizons” (Depta, 1983, p. 165). The potential of contemporary animated films seems to be indisputable in this respect, as will be demonstrated by the analysis of the main factor of their influence on the viewer, namely film heroes.
