Los Angeles known as L.A. Or Colloquial City of Angels, is the largest city in the state of California and the second largest in the United States, surpassed only by New York City.
In 1781 the Spaniards established a town in the western area of the United States, named El Pueblo by Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles. The Spanish domination ceased in 1821, but the United States took control of the city 30 years later.
The emergence of the railways, as well as the famous Gold Chase brought many emigrants to these lands.
Establishing here, after 1913, major cinemas will have the effect of an explosion of business, which will make this city the name of the promised land.
The city is called the familiar L.A. (Pronunciation, he) by its inhabitants and has an extremely subtle tropical climate.The enormous expansion of the urban area made Los Angeles the largest stretch of land in the United States.
The economy of the city is based on a very wide diversification of the industry.In fact, the state of California is a world-class economic power ranked 7th, and the Los Angeles 2017 economy is significantly contributing to California.
Los Angeles was incorporated as a city on 4 April 1850 - just five months before California was accepted as the thirty-first state of the Union on 9 September 1850.Los Angeles is the capital of the Los Angeles County homonymous county.
According to the US Census Bureau estimate in 2005, the city had a population of about 3.8 million inhabitants, being the economic and cultural center of an extended metropolitan area, known as Los Angeles-Long Beach-Santa Ana, with a total population of Over 12.9 million people.
Los Angeles is one of the most important cultural, scientific, educational, technological and commercial centers of the world. He was the host of two Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984. L.A. Hosts many world-renowned institutions in a multitude of professional and cultural fields.
In particular, the city of Los Angeles 2018 is the world leader in the production and distribution of all accessible entertainment for all, movies, television programs and music recordings.
Los Angeles is one of the most cosmopolitan places in the world. People everywhere have been constantly attracted by its distinctive city, its gentle weather, its geographical location along what is termed the Pacific Rim Gateway geographically, the vibrant lifestyle, the energy that seems to be evolving everywhere And the hope of realizing the American Dream.
The coastal part of Los Angeles was first colonized by Tongva (or Gabrieleños) and Chumash a few thousand years ago. Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo, a Portuguese explorer, supported the southern part of California for the Spanish Empire in 1542. Gaspar de Portolà and the Franciscan missionary Juan Crespí reached the place where Los Angeles is currently on August 2, 1769.
In 1771, the Franciscan monk Junípero Serra headed the Mission San Gabriel Arcangel , the first mission in the region. On September 4, 1781, a group of 44 known colonists and Los Pobladores set up La Reyna de los Angeles, an honorary name given to the memory of the Holy Sea. Two-thirds of the colonists were mestizo or mulatars with Africans, Amerindians and European ancestors.
Colonia has remained a farmer's estate for decades, but by 1820 the population has grown to 650 people. Today, colonization is celebrated in the historic district of Los Angeles Pueblo Plaza and Olvera Street, the oldest parts of Los Angeles.
New Spain obtained its independence from the Spanish Empire in 1821 and colonization continued under the administration of Mexico. During the administration of Mexico, Governor Pío Pico made Los Angeles 2017 the capital of the Alta California region.
Mexican administration ended during the Mexican-American War: Americans took control of the Californians after a series of battles culminating in the signing of the Cahuenga treaty on January 13, 1847.
The train lines arrived with the completion of the southern Pacific line to Los Angeles in 1876.

Spruce Goose - Color HK-1 Hercules Moved in Long Beach Harbor 84710a HD
This short silent film shows activities in 1982, as the Spruce Goose was moved out of its hangar in Long Beach and into a protective dome located near the Queen Mary. This followed a three-month national effort to save the aircraft from destruction, with the Spruce Goose donated to the Aero Club of Southern California.
The aircraft's move across Long Beach Harbor was reported in a Los Angeles Times Feb. 12, 1982, story by staff writers Anne LaRiviere and Jerry Belcher:
The ancient Spruce Goose--first last and largest bird of its kind--went to its final roosting place Thursday in Long Beach.
Like Long Beach's other great dinosaur of transportation history, the Queen Mary, it will become a tourist attraction.
Designed by billionaire Howard Hughes during World War II as a troop carrier that would cruise at 200 mph, the world's largest airplane made its final journey with three men aboard at a speed of approximately .346 mph.
The gigantic flying boat, with a wingspan of 320 feet, a fuselage 219 feet long and a rudder eight stories high, was lifted from dockside at Terminal Island by an enormous floating crane late Wednesday night and deposited on the deck of a 240-foot barge early Thursday....then towed by tugboats 4 1/2 miles to its new and final roost, a huge, specially constructed aluminum dome adjacent to eh Queen Mary's permanent moorage...
The flying boat was constructed mainly of laminated birch wood. However, a small amount of spruce was used in the plane's construction, and therefore, someone dubbed it The Spruce Goose because is sounded right.
Hughes hated the name.
N.B. The Goose ended up leaving Long Beach and is now at the Evergreen Air Museum in Washington State.

California to New York: A Complete Road Trip
This is a complete road trip compilation from Santa Monica, California to New York City over eight different days from June-September, 2017 - all recorded in time-lapse at 4fps (nearly 100,000 frames total). Of the 3,253 miles (5,235 kilometers) driven, about 3 miles of this drive is missing, mostly in Colorado near Poncha Springs. Nearly all of this drive was done in daytime, but there is about 10 minutes of this video done in darkness in Arizona (about 1:00:00 to 1:10:00). The weather was good for the most part, except from Pennsylvania all the way to the Bronx, before clearing up in Manhattan. This trip also includes driving through the solar eclipse of August 21 in Nebraska (at about 3:30:00), as well as driving over the old Tappan Zee Bridge in upstate NY, which permanently closed a month later with the opening of the new Mario M Cuomo Bridge adjacent to it.
The states passed through are
California (0:00:35-0:40:54)
Arizona (0:40:54-1:40:26)

Maryland (5:51:52-6:04:43)
New York (6:32:49-6:50:03)
The highest elevation of the drive was 11,539 ft (3,517 m) at 2:28:10. The highest elevation anywhere on the U.S. interstate system is 11,158 ft (3,401 m) at 2:33:41. Both of these elevations are two of the three continental divide crossings; the other, at 2:04:38 (10,856 ft / 3,309 m), is the first.
The hottest temperature of this trip was 110 F (43 C) in Needles, California (about 0:40:16), and the coldest temperature of this trip was 53 F (11 C) in Tusayan, Arizona (about 1:10:04) - only about 230 miles (370 km) from Needles.

10-29-11 Community Cupid Wedding part 1-Medium.m4v
(Ontario, CA.) Recently, local business professionals, volunteers, service professionals and community activists from throughout the Inland Empire joined forces to provide ten lucky military couples with a free wedding with all the glitz and glamour that made the day a memorable one.
It was an example of generosity at its finest. Donations came in the form of wedding dresses, tuxedos, flowers, limos and a dinner reception for 600. All done to give these couples, who have sacrificed so much, a heartfelt thank you.
Going by the name Community Cupid, everything was provided for the brides and grooms.
The call went out to hundreds of Inland Empire entrepreneurs, volunteers, service professionals and community activists, asking them to dedicate the last ten weeks to showing their gratitude to military men and women with more than the usual salute, said Bill Anthony, publisher of the Inland Empire Business Journal, who along with Ryan Orr, founder of Operation Community Cares, Inc., created Community Cupid.
Selected to receive the nuptials were ten soldiers who either recently returned from or will soon be deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
The couples who received the outpouring of appreciation are:
Erika Acevedo and Victor Martinez, United State Marine Corps. Corporal -- Los Angeles, CA
La'Shanda Holmes (first African American female helicopter pilot) and Jamal Jones, US Coast Guard, Lieutenant (junior grade) -- Los Angeles.
Melissa (Moore) Rodriguez and Emerson Rodriguez, United States Marine Corps. Lance Corporal.
David Castillo and Maritza Alvarado United States Marine Corps. Sergeant -- Rosamond, CA.
Alison Bailey and Sean Bailey, U.S Navy, Senior Chief Petty Officer -- San Clemente, CA.
Jayline Dugwem and Kevius Tamagyow, United States Marine Corps, Private First Class of Vista, CA.
Rosa Rivera and Anthony Stewart Roldan, United States Marine Corps. Lance Corporal -- Long Beach, CA.
Raymond Jennings and Jennifer E. Donnely, U.S. Coast Guard, Second Class Marine Science Technician -- Long Beach, CA.
Australia Herrera and Jose G. Herrera, United States Marine Corps. Sergeant -- Camp Pendleton, CA
Thomas Wright, Jr., and Rocel Basco United States Marine Corps. Lance Corporal
This could and would not happen without a great many people so graciously willing to volunteer their time, services, products and money to help these brides and grooms, said Anthony. The response has been simply amazing.
Beginning with a parade down Haven Avenue, the procession went south to Inland Empire Boulevard in Ontario and headed east to the Ontario Airport Hilton Hotel, where the ceremony took place. Various pastors performed the weddings, supplying the event with the romance and memories found in a single wedding.
In fact, couples and their bridesmaids and groomsmen arrived in a limo. Each wedding party then took turns walking down a rose petal-strewn walkway where their groom was waiting for them.
The ceremony was followed by a reception with Blues Hall of Fame artist Darrell Mansfield headlining the entertainment, which included Them Novus, a band performing 1980s to contemporary music and featuring vocalist/bassist Devin Vasquez, guitarist Johnny G and drummer/vocalist Mark Romans; The Lindy Sisters, a trio performing 1940s songs in the style of The McGuire and Andrews sisters; and talented teen and Upland High School graduate Tim Rotollo on baby grand piano.

LASD Update Special Enforcement Bureau Maritime Cadre: SWAT on the Water
LASD Update: Single segment on the Special Enforcement Bureau
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has a special weapons team called the S.E.B., or Special Enforcement Bureau.
The Bureau was formed in 1958 as the Special Enforcement Detail, and has transcended into one of the country's premier tactical units. Recently, SEB commemorated its 56th Anniversary.
Present day, SEB is comprised of three details: Special Enforcement Detail (SED) or Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), responsible for handling barricades, hostage situations and other high-risk operations, as well as providing security for dignitaries and political officials; Canine Services Detail (CSD) responsible for assisting patrol stations by searching for armed and dangerous suspects with the use of highly specialized dogs; Emergency Services Detail (ESD) conducts search and rescue, dive and maritime operations.
All details work as one unit during tactical operations providing the community with the specialties each detail brings to the operation. Our goal is to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors by being at the forefront of innovative ideas and to employ cutting edge technology to ensure the safest outcome to critical incidents. The use of tactical paramedics and insertion of specialized canines trained in tactical movement and explosive detection are innovations developed at SEB. SEB also works with its port partners, United States Coast Guard, Los Angeles Port Police Department, Long Beach Police Department, and other partners utilizing a multi-jurisdictional approach to conduct daily operations. SEB recently deployed the nation's newest sophisticated patrol boat to defend against terrorism and criminal activity. As part of our maritime operations, SEB patrols over 800 square miles of unincorporated Los Angeles County open-ocean and two islands, assisting the Coast Guard with local law enforcement matters.
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and the Los Angeles Police Department participated in the Offshore Platform Security Threat Awareness and Response Program (OPSTAR 13) maritime exercise along with many federal, state and local agencies. The OPSTAR 13 exercise explored the homeland security, homeland defense, emergency response, and emergency management issues presented by security threats to offshore oil and gas platforms in the Southern California region.
* Exercise goals: Reinforce federal, state, local, and private sector partnerships.
Strengthen existing emergency response and management plans, systems, and capabilities applicable to offshore platform response operations.
Evaluate interoperable systems to enhance maritime domain awareness, threat identification and early warning, and interoperable communication.
Identify future planning, acquisition, training, and exercise needs related to the integrated response to an offshore platform incident.
Provide the justification and framework for a sustained government-and industry-focused offshore platform safety and security program.

California: Richard Nixon Presidential Library
The Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum is the presidential library and burial site of Richard Milhous Nixon, the 37th President of the United States (1969–1974), and his wife Pat Nixon.
The museum was officially dedicated on July 19, 1990.
The museum, housed in a 52,000-square-foot (4,800 m2) building, offers a narrative of Nixon's life and career. Behind the museum is the birthplace and childhood house, which was constructed by Nixon's father using a homebuilding kit, and restored to appear as it was in the 1910s. President Nixon and Pat Nixon are buried on the grounds, just a few feet from the birthplace.
President Nixon's helicopter is in display on the library grounds. President Nixon flew it dozens of times to Camp David, over the pyramids in Egypt, and on his final flight from the White House.
The Nixon Library has a full-scale, exact replica of President Nixon's Oval Office that guests can enter and interact within.
Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) served as the 37th president of the United States from 1969 until 1974. A vigorous campaigner for Republican candidates while serving as the nation's 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961, and as a representative and senator from California, he became the only president to resign from the office due to his involvement in the Watergate scandal.
Nixon was born to a poor family in Yorba Linda, California. He graduated from Duke University School of Law in 1937 and returned to California to practice law. He and his wife Pat moved to Washington in 1942 to work for the federal government. He served on active duty in the Navy Reserve during World War II. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946 and to the Senate in 1950. His pursuit of the Hiss Case established his reputation as a leading anti-Communist and elevated him to national prominence. He was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the Republican Party presidential nominee in the 1952 election, and he served for eight years as vice president, becoming the second-youngest vice president in history at age 40. He waged an unsuccessful presidential campaign in 1960, narrowly losing to John F. Kennedy, and he lost a race for governor of California to Pat Brown in 1962. In 1968, he ran for the presidency again and was elected, defeating Vice President Hubert Humphrey and Alabama Governor George Wallace in a close election.
Nixon ended American involvement in the war in Vietnam in 1973, ending the military draft that same year. Nixon's visit to China in 1972 eventually led to diplomatic relations between the two nations, and he initiated détente and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union the same year. His administration generally transferred power from federal control to state control. He imposed wage and price controls for 90 days, enforced desegregation of Southern schools, established the Environmental Protection Agency, and began the War on Cancer. He also presided over the Apollo 11 moon landing, which signaled the end of the moon race. He was re-elected in one of the largest electoral landslides in American history in 1972 when he defeated George McGovern.
In his second term, Nixon ordered an airlift to resupply Israeli losses in the Yom Kippur War, leading to the oil crisis at home. By late 1973, the Watergate scandal escalated, costing Nixon much of his political support. On August 9, 1974, he resigned in the face of almost certain impeachment and removal from office—the only time an American president has done so. After his resignation, he was issued a controversial pardon by his successor, Gerald Ford. In 20 years of retirement, Nixon wrote his memoirs and nine other books and undertook many foreign trips, thereby rehabilitating his image into that of an elder statesman and top expert on foreign affairs. He suffered a debilitating stroke on April 18, 1994, and died four days later at age 81.

The Dow looks set for an extremely rough start to the week as a multitude of geopolitical risks converge on a shaky stock-market. After a weak close on Friday, investors in the Dow Jones are now faced with missile strikes against the U. S. embassy in Iraq, as well as a rapidly escalating coronavirus epidemic in China, with multiple new cases reported in the United States as well. With many economists predicting that the U. S. economy’s historic run would only be halted by an “external shock,” almost on cue, we have not one but two highly significant threats to the Dow Jones’ quest for 30,000. Most recently, health officials confirmed the fifth case of Wuhan coronavirus in the domestic United States, this time in Arizona. Over the weekend, medics also acknowledged two cases in California, one in Orange County and the other in Los Angeles County. That’s a highly unwanted occurrence for an area already in mourning over the loss of its most beloved athlete, NBA superstar Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna in a helicopter crash. For investors paying close attention to the spread, California is of particular significance for three reasons. Firstly, California is the most populous U. S. state, with Southern California (mostly L. A. and Orange County) the most densely populated region. Secondly, California is comfortably the largest state economy in the United States, a little under double second place Texas. Finally, it has the largest Chinese-American community (estimated at more than 1.2 million), some of whom visit their country of origin for the Lunar new-year (January 25), making the threat of contamination more probable moving forward. Given the previous impact that virus epidemics have had on the stock market, major global indexes like the Dow Jones cannot ignore the spread of coronavirus within China. Fears are escalating that Beijing has been massively downplaying the rate of infections, and the crisis has hit during the most significant economic event of the year. A huge hit to Chinese productivity is expected, with knock-on effects in the global economy inevitable. In Hong Kong, protests remain fierce, this time against state administered quarantine, as protesters set fire to the buildings designated for infected parties. While coronavirus worries are clearly on the rise, Nordea research believes China will eventually gets things under control, stating,We remain relatively calm, though. Neither around the outbreak of SARS, nor around the outbreak of Swine -or Birdflu, did Copper prices fall of a cliff. Hang Seng (and local Chinese markets) were hit by the SARS-outbreak, but it proved short-lived as the virus was contained within roughly half a year. Global contagion effects were limited, and they should also be so this time around, even if the Corona virus has been spreading slightly faster than SARS. As if all this was not enough, fears of re-escalation between the U. S. and Iran is once again on the rise. Several rockets were fired at the U. S. embassy in Iraq, with one reportedly having made a direct hit, while the others mostly missed. Although there was an impact on the Dow Jones after the killing of Iranian general Qasem Soleimani, investors quickly priced out further military action as both Washington and Tehran appeared to back off. Now, this may all have changed, and already shaky risk sentiment will be waiting for Trump’s response. The president is in a particularly tricky situation. He needs to maintain his strong man persona, while his best chance of re-election, a Fed-pumped Dow Jones, is looking particularly vulnerable to risk-off. Iran may be testing where his convictions lay, and is clearly optimistic his preference remains for de-escalation. It seems unlikely, however, that a missile strike on what is technically U. S. soil in Iraq can go ignored. Risk-off sentiment is currently sweeping global financial markets, as the safe-haven Japanese yen surges the Chinese Yuan weakens. Crude oil dipped over 2%, while Dow mini futures plunged 1.4%. Every single one of these signs points to a hazardous combination of events for the Dow, mainly as it has only been focusing on positive trade war headlines for months. Breaking beneath 29,000 on Friday, bulls are suddenly remembering what it feels like to lose money. Chaos in China (with a possible pandemic on the cards) and conflict in the Middle East looks like horrific timing after what has been a record-breaking run for the U. S. stock market.

YouTube viral video shows Long Beach police beating suspect
A YouTube video of police in Long Beach, California beating a suspect on the street has gone viral and is stirring outrage from viewers.
The video, nearly five minutes long, shows four police officers beating 46-year-old Porfirio Santos-Lopez using batons and tasers, while the suspect was half-naked on his back. Footage of the beating was caught by a witness on her cell phone and clearly demonstrates police use of excessive force.
Nevertheless, the Long Beach Police Department has defended the actions of its officers, saying that the video does not tell the whole story.
That individual seemed to be irrational. He was combative, Sargant Aaron Eaton told local media, adding that police tried to get Santos-Lopez to roll onto his stomach, but initially refused. In the video that is on YouTube, he can be seen kicking at the officers.
The police rationale for using force was not accepted by the victim's family, who have told the media that they intend to sue the police department.
