  • The City Is Divided Into Many Neighborhoods, Many of Which Were Towns That Were Annexed by the Growing City
    The city is divided into many neighborhoods, many of which were towns that were annexed by the growing city. There are also several independent cities in and around Los Angeles, but they are popularly grouped with the city of Los Angeles, either due to being completely engulfed as enclaves by Los Angeles, or lying within its immediate vicinity. Generally, the city is divided into the following areas: Downtown Los Angeles, Northeast - including Highland Park and Eagle Rock areas, the Eastside, South Los Angeles (still often colloquially referred to as South Central by locals), the Harbor Area, Hollywood, Wilshire, the Westside, and the San Fernando and Crescenta Valleys. Some well-known communities of Los Angeles include West Adams, Watts, Venice Beach, the Downtown Financial District, Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Hollywood, Hancock Park, Koreatown, Westwood and the more affluent areas of Bel Air, Benedict Canyon, Hollywood Hills, Pacific Palisades, and Brentwood. [edit] Landmarks Important landmarks in Los Angeles include Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Tokyo, Walt Disney Concert Hall, Kodak Theatre, Griffith Observatory, Getty Center, Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, Hollywood Sign, Hollywood Boulevard, Capitol Records Tower, Los Angeles City Hall, Hollywood Bowl, Watts Towers, Staples Center, Dodger Stadium and La Placita Olvera/Olvera Street. Downtown Los Angeles Skyline of downtown Los Angeles Downtown Los Angeles is the central business district of Los Angeles, California, United States, located close to the geographic center of the metropolitan area.

In this issue we highlight INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SERVICES, which is responsible for the design, development, maintenance, production support, and security of the central UCLA computing systems and data. ASK MICHAEL Administrative VC Beck leads our team; submit your questions to him via email to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) and check back here next month for an answer. Having attended a Management Enrichment Program, Eugene Willis, Business Contracts Manager at Campus Purchasing, asks, " What advice would you give to those seeking to become dynamic leaders? What tools and/or information guided your progression to leadership? " Thanks, Eugene. You've asked a compelling question. When I think about leadership, I think about individuals who inspire others to be their best, like a great coach who mentors players to find inner strength, to achieve a little more than they thought possible. There is a lot written about leadership, but I think it may be helpful to clarify the difference between leadership and management. I turn to a definition from John Kotter from the Harvard Business School, which states: The point here is not that leadership is good and management is bad. They are simply different and serve different purposes. The fundamental purpose of management is to keep the current system functioning. The fundamental purpose of leadership is to produce useful change, especially non incremental change. It is possible to have too much or too little of either.

The MWD said it will supplement the trace amounts of naturally occurring flouride in the water it imports from the Colorado River and Northern California to levels promoted by the American Dental Association and national public health groups. According to the MWD, a cooperative of 26 cities and water agencies serving 18 million people in six counties, 43 of the largest 50 cities in the United States fluoridate drinking waters. The level of fluoride will rise from the current range of 0.1 to 0.4 parts per million to the recommended range of 0.7 to 0.8 part per million, according to Metropolitan. Some of the cities and water agencies may blend Metropolitan water with their own supply, so the level of fluoride may differ from area to area, according to MWD officials. They noted that fluoride levels in drinking water are limited under California state regulations at a maximum level of 2 parts per million.
