The Arches at Reenroe are one such place. I had been to Allihies on the Beara Peninsula three times but not heard about it. That's the downside of my penchant for arriving blind to a place to discover it on my own.
Spectacular as the arches are, I want first to tell a bit of a story, about how I discovered it and the adventure I had on the way. Stories such as this so typify, for me travel and living in Ireland and the way things just unfold here. Surprise upon serendipitous surprise. The people, culture and place are interwoven like nowhere else. These experiences are truly the hidden gems.
Let me start at the beginning. Or even a bit before the beginning.
It was a gorgeous sunny June morning (yes, this is Ireland) and I was visiting the location of the Dooneen Copper Mine. This is a marked tourist spot on the Wild Atlantic Way a few kilometres from Allihies, so it has the squiggly iron marker to let you know that it is worth stopping. And to a lapsed geologist such as myself that is indeed true. This is the site of the first of Puxley's copper mines discovered in 1812. Because of its location on the coast, it struggled both technically and commercially, but the upside of this is that the site is largely intact and we can get a unique insight of how it must have looked before it was exploited.
The ore zone at Dooneen is a distinctive promontry. Obvious for its shades of cream, brown and orange representing oxidised rock.
The cliffs here are a series of headlands of Devonian sandstone. One of these promontories is in shades of orange and cream rather than the more normal greys. It is about 80 m long and up to 10 m wide. This unique coloration is due to oxidation of what was essentially a quartz sulphide rock. As you walk along the narrow path you see traces, under your feet and in the walls, of bright green staining. This is malachite, copper carbonate and a telltale sign that deeper down there are copper sulphides.
Walk onto the next headland to the north and look back. Now you see it in it's full glory. Brilliant green patches tell of a very rich lode. But why is it still there considering it contains such valuable minerals?
At the eastern end at sea level is an adit and there appears to be another in the adjacent cliff at the western end. These would have been where the miners first chased the copper but constant inundation made it impossible. A shaft was sunk on the land side but again flooding meant more and more sophisticated machinery was needed to keep on top of the pumping. Eventually the elements won and in the 1870s the mine was abandoned never really making much money. But this has left us with this magnificent example of a virtually untouched outcropping ore body.
Looking from the south, Adit above the high water mark visible at the left.
As it looked 200 years ago. Except for the tunnel at the western end.
But I digress. In the car park I met Viv Kelly, visiting from Dublin, with members of her family. She said they were going to look for what they called the Arches and headed off on foot. I was intrigued and headed off in the same general direction. But for me the search proved fruitless and I actually had no idea what I was looking for.
Viv and some of the Kelly Gang. Beautiful synclinal fold behind them.
So I continued my explorations, by car, of what is one of my favourite drives, between Allihies and Eyries. The road snakes through sculpted hills, twisted rocks and abandoned houses and at one point the highway (if you can call it that) drives through someone's yard with the house on one side and the barn on the other. Harking back to the time when living right on the road would have been hugely desirable. There were panoramic vistas, bicycles and bog cotton.
Satisfied, I headed back to Allihies to join an afternoon session with two legends of Irish music – Jackie Daly and Matt Cranitch. I soon forgot about arches and such.
It was now about 6.30 pm the music had ebbed away and I was sitting outside O'Neill's Pub pondering my next move. I was approached by a lady who became my immediate best friend after she complimented me on my fiddling. She mentioned she had been that day to visit some sea arches! Those same arches that Viv had told me about. She reached for her phone to show me some pictures. I politely covered her screen (I hate spoilers) and asked instead for directions after telling her of my earlier vain search.
Basically it appears I was in the right place. "Look for a white cottage on the left and opposite you will see a wooden gate with a blue rope and a sign saying 'please shut the gate'". That seemed simple enough so I had another go. At about the spot she indicated I saw a white building, more of a bungalow really and it wasn't on the left it was on the right and I couldn't see a gate, so I was confused and drove on. Fruitlessly. Now the Irish are not great on giving directions so I went back to that bungalow thinking maybe 'left' meant 'right', and sure enough there was a gate, my view blocked by a beautiful old vintage Mercedes. The gate had a blue rope and a hand written sign saying 'please shut the gate'. Finally.
I headed along the well worn track, passing a group of picnickers. They had selected an idyllic spot. Smoke rising from a fire and the smell of cooking chicken. I was just a little jealous but I apologised for intruding and after getting a little sage advice on what I was looking for, I continued my search.
Not far ahead I came across the first arch. You don't actually realise you are on it until you make your way down to the shore and look back. Way grander than I'd imagined. Tantalisingly the calm water in the chasm disappeared to the left. You knew there was more.
Back up to the top and I continued across the fields until I reached a rocky headland. Here there are more arches. Two precarious bridges span a steep sided chasm. One looks like it is about to collapse into the ocean as one day soon it inevitable will. Real selfie territory. They have formed by selective erosion of softer rock (probably along a fault) in places leaving the remnant bridges of rock. I had brought a sandwich and doughnut with me and enjoyed my own little picnic.
Two bridges span this chasm. Arches no 2 and 3.
I felt there had to be more and sure enough I found a number of other narrow steep sided arches and then a perfectly protected and wave free channel passed under another series of bridges. This turned out to be the other end of the channel under the first arch. I followed it back and observed two land bridges over this channel.
In total I saw six arches. It might make more sense if you look at the google map image. The major channel has essentially created an island with two natural bridge accesses (nos 1 and 6). This has followed a major east west fault. The other arches (numbered 2 to 5) have formed on softer shaley bands within the sediment sequence so they parallel bedding.
Google satellite image showing six arches referred to above. Main channel is marked in red. North to top.
That should have been the end of my story but it wasn't.
I must have been exploring for an hour and a half. Heading back past the picnickers I was surprised at being asked to join them. They plied me with wine, crab claws, chicken, potato and roasted seaweed. The burgeoning friendship nearly ended though when they offered me a hot rock to sit on! Brian, from Edinburgh, a scholar in all things gaelic, explained that the picnic was in memory of a time when they 'cooked' a salmon in this very fire 20 years ago. Sashimi salmon in the dark was the outcome. No fish this time though.
I met Cormac Boydell and his partner Rachel, who live next door to that white bungalow overlooking this dramatic bay. Cormac is a renowned ceramic artist. I wished I had time to have a closer look at his work. But what was really interesting was that in a previous life he was a geologist. Spooky enough but, hey, he worked in Australia during the nickel boom of the 70s and, get this, he worked for CRA, the first company I worked for. And he was based in Kalgoorlie in western Australia, where I lived for six years.
We talked for ages as darkness descended and until the lure of the music back in Allihies became palpable. I took my leave, happy that my search for the Arches, initiated by a chance meeting with Viv from Dublin had ended with such a rewarding encounter.
These days are truly the hidden gems of Ireland.


More HR professionals are supporting their firms to recruit business services professionals into roles overseas. Some are seeking global roles for themselves. What do you need to know to make a success of overseas opportunities?
The international job market presents a whole new array of challenges and opportunities to HR professionals in law. This is a landscape in which every international jurisdiction is different in terms of working environment, benefits, taxes and cultural norms. Here's a lowdown on some of the most popular destinations to help those in HR get ahead of the game.
Most law firms have a presence across the Middle East with offices in Muscat, Riyadh, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai but Dubai is often seen as really hub in terms of roles and activity.
Dubai has always been an attractive location for those seeking international exposure, primarily because of its tax free status. However, it is worth noting that although not paying tax is certainly a bonus, Dubai is an expensive place to live: the cost of renting and utility bills are particularly high.
In terms of benefits, most firms will offer private healthcare but it is worth noting that there are no obligatory state or employer contribution insurance schemes. There is also very little scope for flexible working, including working from home, and standard maternity leave is 35 days.
Singapore is often seen as the gateway to the ASEAN (Association of South East Asian Nations) network with some roles having a focus across this area. ASEAN is primarily made up of Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand with the purpose of accelerating economic growth and promoting stability across the region. Although most Singapore-based roles will have a strong regional focus, they also tend to encompass other countries including Jakarta, Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur as well, so travel within South-East Asia is common.
The business language in Singapore is English, which makes relocating from a language perspective very straightforward. Although the tax rate is much lower in Singapore than the UK, typically up to about 15% depending on salary, it should be noted that tax is not deducted at the source. This means that the onus is on the individual to save towards their annual tax bill each month and then pay the full amount at the end of each year. Mandatory pension contributions are paid to permanent residents only and do not apply to expats.
Hong Kong falls within the remit of greater China and is still perceived as being a hub for China, although there are an increasing number of roles being located in Shanghai, Beijing and Bangkok. Although for some roles there is no language requirement, roles requiring either Mandarin or Cantonese are becoming increasingly common.
Taxes work in a similar way to Singapore and you typically pay up to 17% tax on average. Benefits will typically include medical cover, life insurance and pension contributions. You will typically receive less annual leave compared to London, but there are on average 17 public holidays per year which makes a big difference.
The two hubs for roles tend to be Sydney and Melbourne. It is harder to secure sponsorship for Australia compared to Asia or the Middle East but we are beginning to see sponsorship offered from Officer/Executive level upwards as firms increasingly look to fill roles with talent from overseas. Although the majority of benefits are similar to those you would expect in London, it is worth noting that firms do not offer private healthcare due to the tax implications. It is also worth noting that most salaries advertised also include superannuation (the way that the Government ensures you save for your retirement and the money comes from employer and employee contributions). This means that the take home pay for most salaries advertised will be lower than you may initially think as a result of these contributions.
Most firms will offer a standard relocation package including flights, temporary accommodation, shipping costs and all associated visa costs. Some firms will include a rebate clause in their contracts if you leave within a certain timeframe (usually up to a year) and so it is vital that recruits do their homework before making the move.
It's little surprise that roles abroad require proper research - not only to understand the remit of the roles on offer but also the cultural differences. As an HR professional, the more you know and understand these growing global opportunites, the better placed you will be to support your firm's international recruitment as well as your own global career aspirations.

Positioned in the heart of St. Petersburg, Russia, the Hermitage is the second largest museum in the world, and one of the world's greatest. It would take months for a person to stop and examine each of the exhibits here, which include works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Rembrandt, Rubens, Van Gogh, Matisse, Gauguin, and Picasso, as well as treasures from ancient Rome, China and imperial Russia.
The fabulous rooms with their inlaid floors and gilded woodwork, and the grand double entry staircase are works of art in themselves.
Olga Hayes – Hermitage and St. Petersburg Travel ExpertOlga Hayes, Senior Private Journeys Specialist and native of St. Petersburg, worked for many years as a senior curator for the State Russian Museum, specializing in icons.
When Olga was six years old, she began taking a weekly enrichment class at the Hermitage, designed especially for children with an aptitude for and an interest in art. Every Sunday, the class spent an hour or two in different sections of the museum and presented a project at the end of the year. After 10 years of Sundays at the Hermitage, and a Doctorate in Russian Culture, Olga is the ultimate insider at Russia's greatest museum. In her official capacity at the Russian Museum, she worked closely with Hermitage staff, and when she makes her annual visit to St. Petersburg, she always stops in to visit.
Make a plan before you go, and give yourself enough time. Even if you were to walk quickly, it would take more than a day merely to pass by every exhibit.
Upon Arrival to the HermitageYou'll be handed a map with your entrance ticket to help you on your way, but early planning is important so you don't miss anything you really want to see. You can rent good audio guides in English at the entrance of the museum.
Most people will enter the main floor of the Hermitage by climbing the majestic Jordon staircase, then walk through 11 magnificent official halls, once used for state business and royal audiences. After this introduction, it's best if you either have your game plan in place, or have a MIR guide with you to lead you to your must-see exhibits.
Summer or winter – each has its advantages.
In summer, the lines are longer, but it can be more pleasant to stand out in the sun. I recommend getting in line a half hour before opening time (10:30am). Usually you don't have to wait more that 11 minutes to get inside, and then you have all day to browse.
I usually don't recommend paying for the early opening if you're on your own. Big groups of passengers from the river cruise ships typically take advantage of the early entry option, so I find it more satisfying to enter at the usual time and not have to contend with them. If you're with a private group, or a tour, paying for early entry can be a good option, because the crowds are still smaller than during peak hours.
In winter, you can arrive only 10 minutes before opening time, and should be able to enter quickly. The halls are much quieter in winter, and your experience may feel more personal and special.
The main mistake Hermitage visitors make is trying to fit in too much. You simply can't see it all, so decide on your "must-sees" and map them out.
Note: The famous collection of French Impressionist paintings has been moved across the Palace Square to the General Staff Headquarters. You can buy a "complex" ticket in the main building, good for entry (during one day only) to the main complex, General Staff, Menshikov Palace, Winter Palace of Peter I, and the Imperial Porcelain Factory Museum. It's best to finish at the main building before you go over to admire the French Impressionists, since once you've left each building, you can't re-enter.
If you take a break for coffee, tea, or a bite to eat, and recharge your batteries, you'll be able to enjoy yourself for much longer.
On the ground floor near the coat check is a handy cafeteria that serves fast and moderately priced Russian and international food. You can purchase coffee, tea and pastries, as well as sandwiches, pizza and piroshky here without taking too much time out of your day. It's a good place to rest your legs and take a break.
There is an elegant sit-down restaurant in the Hermitage, with excellent (but expensive) cuisine, tablecloths, china and wait staff; personally, I hate to spend too much time eating when I'm at the museum. If you're ready for an hour and a half break, go ahead and give it a try. It's definitely worth the price.
Of course, in the vicinity of the Hermitage there are many varied restaurants and cafés, but the catch is that once you leave the museum, you can't re-enter without standing in line all over again. Don't leave until you're ready to.
I recommend that you hire a local MIR guide to get the most out of your time. They will ask you about your preferences and time limitations and put together a great tour for you, giving you background, history and anecdotes about the works of art.
It is a much richer and more rewarding experience, in my opinion, than wandering on your own, reading the plaques that explain what everything is. If you say, "Surprise me," your guide will – with all their own personal favorites and the exhibits that they feel are essential for a first-time visitor.
Visitors are allowed to take photos inside the Hermitage free of charge, however, the Hermitage reserves the right to deny permission to photograph or change their policies without notice. No flashes are allowed, and taking photos or videos of temporary exhibits is prohibited.
There are some very nice shops on the first floor near the café. You can buy books, postcards, and real Russian souvenirs that come with certificates verifying their provenance. There is a shop selling beautiful replica jewelry, some set with real stones. I highly recommend shopping here, because everything is high quality and authentic.
Follow the rules, which are simple: Don't Touch and Don't Argue. If the room attendants who oversee each room say anything to you, listen to them and do what they tell you. You can be thrown out for arguing.
You'll be required to leave any coats and backpacks at the coat check, which is sizeable and convenient. You can carry your purse with you. Food and drink are not allowed in the museum – even the ubiquitous water bottle – but you can stop in at the café any time for a refresher.
Stay on the lookout for Hermitage cats! Normally they stay in the basement during the day, but it's possible you may see one roaming the halls along with you.
At this writing, with an exchange rate of 59 rubles to the dollar, it costs approximately $10.00 for an all-day entry ticket to the Hermitage (about $13 for entrance to both the main building and the General Staff Headquarters, where the French Impressionists are living.). If you are staying for a few days in St. Petersburg, it's my recommendation that you go back to the Hermitage more than once, if it's at all possible. You could even drop by for an hour to seek out and contemplate the masterpiece of humanity that touches you most deeply. It would be money well spent to enrich your soul this way.
Each person will have his or her "essential" exhibits at the Hermitage, and they may all be different. For example, whether you love antiquities, Asian art, Flemish painting, Russian icons or 20th century art, you'll find much to appreciate. Say you are a fan of Matisse, you must make sure you give yourself plenty of time to appreciate the Hermitage's collection of some forty striking works by the visionary artist.
Olga's Favorite: the da Vinci madonnasI love the artwork of the Italian Renaissance, and the Hermitage has nine rooms filled with works representing the 13th to the 16th centuries. The da Vinci madonnas – "The Benois Madonna" and "The Litta Madonna" – are my favorite masterpieces, and there are also wonderful works by Michelangelo, Raphael and Titian.
Mariana's favorite: Matisse, "Music"Our copywriter, Mariana Noble, loves the enormous Matisse painting of five red-orange people singing and playing instruments, called "Music." Next to it is another huge canvas in the same colors with five people dancing. "To me, they're profoundly joyful," she says.
"The highlight of my visit to the Hermitage was witnessing the winding of the beautiful Peacock Clock, located in Pavilion Hall. It's more than just a clock, it's a 211+ year old automaton that methodically transforms from a stationary golden statue to a moving work of art, wondrously exploding with whimsy.
MIR can arrange a private striking of the Peacock Clock for groups – for an extra fee, of course.

Tissue-infiltrating Ly6Chi monocytes play important protective roles during infection, including inflammatory cytokine secretion and pathogen killing. Here we show that during acute gastrointestinal infection with the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, recruited monocytes not only contributed to parasite control, but also regulated pathologic immune responses to commensal microbes via secretion of the lipid mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Priming of monocytes for regulatory function preceded systemic inflammation and was initiated prior to bone marrow egress. Natural killer (NK) cell-derived IFN-γ promoted a regulatory program in monocyte progenitors during development. Early bone marrow NK cell activation was controlled by systemic IL-12 produced by Batf3-dependent dendritic cells (DC) in the mucosal-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT). This work challenges the paradigm that monocyte function is dominantly imposed by local signals following tissue recruitment, and instead proposes a sequential model of differentiation in which monocytes are pre-emptively educated during development in the bone marrow to promote their tissue-specific function.

Discovery of Vanadium
Vanadium was discovered in 1801 by the Spanish scientist Andres Manuel del Rio.
Del Rio discovered the new element in brown lead ore (now known to be the mineral vanadinite, Pb5[VO4]3Cl) in New Spain (Mexico).
Del Rio had moved to Mexico as a professor of Chemistry and Mineralogy at the Royal School of Mines, Mexico City.
He named his new element panchromo or panchromium meaning 'all of the colors' because of the wide range of colors he had found when investigating the element's salts.
He then renamed the element eritrono or erythronium, from the Greek word eruthros, meaning red. The new name was inspired by the red color which was seen when Group 1 or Group 2 oxide salts of the new element – for example sodium vanadium oxide – were heated or acidified. (1),(2),(3)
In 1805 the French chemist Hippolyte-Victor Collet-Descotils examined the lead ore and announced that erythronium was actually impure chromium – an analysis which, unfortunately, del Rio accepted.
Nothing more was heard of the element until 1830, when Nils Gabriel Sefström in Stockholm, Sweden, found a new metal in a Swedish iron ore.
He called this new element vanadium after 'Vanadis' the Scandinavian goddess of beauty because of the beautiful multicolored compounds formed by the metal. (4)
In the same year, German chemist Friedrich Wöhler reinvestigated the Mexican lead ore and found that vanadium was identical to del Rio's erythronium. (5)
The metal was first isolated by Sir Henry E. Roscoe in 1867, in Manchester, England, by reducing vanadium chloride with hydrogen.
The vanadium mineral roscoelite was named in honor of Rocoe's work. (4), (6)
Vanadium's Periodic Table Neighborhood
Vanadium's discovery in 1801 was initially disregarded because it was thought to be impure chromium, which sits on vanadium's right in the periodic table. Of course, in 1801 the concept of the periodic table had not been born.
Group 4 Group 5 Group 6
Vanadium's colorful oxidation states: +2 is lavender; +3 is green; +4 is blue; +5 is yellow. When he saw these colors, Andres Manuel del Rio first decided to call the new element panchromium meaning 'all of the colors.' You can see these colors being generated by chemical reactions in the short video below. Photo by Steffen Kristensen.
Vanadium is named after the Scandinavian goddess of beauty because of its multiple colors. Watch it change colors as it changes oxidation state with shaking.

Although vanadium is an essential trace element for some creatures a number of its compounds are toxic.
Generally, the higher the oxidation state of vanadium, the more toxic the compound.
Vanadium is a bright white, soft, ductile metal with good structural strength.
Vanadium is resistant to attack by alkalis, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and salt water.
When present in compounds, vanadium exists mostly in the oxidation state V.
The metal oxidizes in air at around 660 oC to the pentoxide (V2O5).
Uses of Vanadium
The main use of vanadium is in alloys, especially with steel.
85% of all the vanadium produced goes into steel, 10% goes into alloys of titanium and 5% into all other uses. 7
A small amount of vanadium adds strength, toughness, and heat resistance.
It is usually added in the form of ferrovanadium, a vanadium-iron alloy.
Vanadium steel alloys are used in gears, axles and crankshafts.
Titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy is used in jet engines and for high-speed aircraft.
Vanadium foil is used in cladding titanium to steel.
Vanadium-gallium tape is used in superconducting magnets.
Vanadium pentoxide is used in ceramics and as a catalyst for the production of sulfuric acid.
The first extensive industrial use of vanadium metal was over a century ago in the vanadium-steel alloy chassis of the Ford Model T car.
A 1908 advertisement for the Model T read, "Vanadium steel, the strongest, toughest and most enduring steel ever manufactured, is used throughout the entire car."
Abundance earth's crust: 120 parts per million by weight, 50 parts per million by moles
Abundance solar system: 400 parts per billion by weight, 9 parts per billion by moles
Cost, pure: $220 per 100g
Cost, bulk: $2.70 per 100g
Source: Vanadium is not found free in nature but is found combined in about 65 different minerals. Vanadium is also found in bauxite and in fossil fuel deposits. Commercially, production of the metal is by calcium reduction of the pentoxide.
Isotopes: Vanadium has 18 isotopes whose half-lives are known, with mass numbers 43 to 60. Naturally occurring vanadium is a mixture of two isotopes, 50V and 51V with natural abundances of 0.2% and 99.7% respectively.

Mayor Garcetti appoints Assistant Chief Ralph Terrazas to be next Chief of L.A. Fire Department
At a July 15 press conference, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced that he was appointing LAFD Assistant Chief Ralph Terrazas to be the next Chief of the Los Angeles Fire Department. Joining the Mayor for the announcement were Terrazas and L.A. Fire Commission President Delia Ibarra.
Terrazas' nomination is subject to confirmation by the City Council (which returns from its summer recess on July 28).
Terrazas has served 30 years with LAFD, including 21 years as a Fire Officer and 14 years of major command experience as a Chief Officer. "Reforming the fire department is vital to the safety of our families and to my back-to-basics agenda," said Mayor Garcetti. "After an exhaustive nationwide search, I have decided there is no better person to cut response times, improve technology, and bring reform to the Los Angeles Fire Department than Chief Ralph Terrazas."
Commission President Ibarra described Terrazas as "the ideal leader to shape a strong future for the Los Angeles Fire Department through a rare combination of field experience and management skill."
Chief Terrazas prioritizes "transforming the LAFD into a metric driven, technologically sophisticated, community-focused organization that is reflective of the communities we serve. I want to thank Mayor Garcetti, and I believe this is confirmation for his trust and confidence in the men and women of the LAFD."
Terrazas established the Professional Standards Division and was responsible for all aspects of the LAFD disciplinary system. He was also instrumental in the passage of Proposition F, a $532 million bond for 19 new fire stations. He holds both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Public Administration, as well as a U.S. Patent.
Pick Pico
Without a doubt, a time of special fun in the 5th District is the annual Pick Pico event – the official Westside Neighborhood Council Street Fair!
This year, according to LAFD Station 92, there were around 2500 attendees on hand to enjoy the live entertainment, sample the food of local restaurants and view the work of local artists. A wonderful atmosphere of happy people and delightful activities abounded. Congressmember Karen Bass and Councilmember Koretz were among the elected officials so very pleased to make the rounds – indeed, the Councilmember rocked the house by singing "Pico and Sepulveda," a song until now most closely associated with Freddy Martin (under the alias, "Felix Figueroa") and his orchestra, with their rendering played frequently on the Dr. Demento radio show in the 1970s.
Councilmember Koretz thanks all who made the Street Fair possible, including the Westside Neighborhood Council, bands from Westwood Charter and Overland Elementary Schools, Little Village People Band, Adam's Music, Westside Tavern, Station 92 and many, many more.
A boon for Bel Air
For the community of Bel Air, July 15 was a day of important rulings.
That morning, the City of L.A.'s Building and Safety Commission held a hearing regarding a haul route application for the 10697 Somma Way project in Bel Air. After listening to the concerns of Councilmember Koretz and the community, ranging from street safety to the amount of dirt being removed, the Commission accepted the request of Councilmember Koretz and granted a continuance of 45 days, while instructing the developer and community to work with the council office on formulating potential conditions that might be applied for the duration of the haul route.
Later that afternoon, the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety issued a "Notice to stop all construction and notice of intent to revoke building permits" related to the 901 Stradda Vechhia project in Bel Air. This action followed directly on the heels of a letter sent by Councilmember Koretz to department general manager Ray Chan, urging him to "put a hold on all project permits and order all work at this property to cease so your Department has an opportunity to study the issues raised by community members."
In that letter, the Councilmember noted that, "Compelling evidence has been brought to my attention indicating that a massive residential project under construction at 901 Strada Vecchia may have evaded multiple required entitlements and California Environmental Quality Act review as a result of misrepresentations in the project's permit plans." The Councilmember added that the developer has appeared to ignore Orders to Comply issued by LADBS. The letter also mentioned unpermitted grading and demolishing as well as the possibility of excessive numbers of retaining walls on the property, and indicated that the site's natural grade may have been misrepresented in order to permit a project that exceeds the Code's height limit.
Councilmember Koretz additionally cited slope failures and landslides, and said, "It is hard to believe that a project that looks more like the Getty Center than a home could have been built without a single discretionary entitlement or public input…Before the aesthetics and safety of the surrounding community are further compromised, all construction activities in the property should cease," while evidence is being carefully studied: "It is one thing for a developer to build a large home because the Code allows him to do so. It is altogether a different thing when the Code may have been skirted, with an entire community's way of life in jeopardy."
Building and Safety's Notice, issued hours later, stated that "The Height of the single family dwelling exceeds the height limit as permitted by the Los Angeles Municipal Code," and that "As per the inspection records, as built construction does not reflect the approved construction shown on the approved set of plans." All construction work approved under the pertinent building permits was therefore ordered stopped immediately. Procedurally, the developer has until July 30, 2014 to call the appropriate people at Building and Safety to address this matter and provide reasons why these permits should not be revoked; otherwise they are to be revoked on that date.
July 15 was important for Bel Air because of what transpired that day, but it is important to note that there have been months and years of crucial effort, as development has intensified due to the improving economy and the extraordinary desirability of homes in that community. Ongoing construction too often results in a neighborhood being flooded with illegally parked cars, so the Councilmember sought and achieved an increase in the amount of red curbs near active construction sites, plus the parking patrol was increased to 3 times a week throughout the Bel Air community and parking signage around construction sites was improved. When one project deviated from its haul route, the Koretz office, with the help of Building and Safety, was able to gain suspension of all activity to that site for one week – a substantial, costly penalty for the developer and one that led to corrections. The 5th District office also achieved an increased presence of the LAPD Commercial Unit that inspects and monitors all commercial activity taking place in Bel Air. The California Highway Patrol has also visited Bel Air, per the request of CD 5, to inspect the haul routes and the trucks.
Throughout such efforts, the Councilmember and his staff have worked closely with the Neighborhood Council, the Bel Air Association, and other involved constituents. Councilmember Koretz thanks the community and the many who been engaged in these key issues.
Chinese delegation
The City Council is in its summer recess through July 25, but there continue to be meetings of all kinds taking place in City Hall and in the district. On July 11, Councilmember Koretz met with a delegation that consisted of many officials and other dignitaries from Shenzen, a major city in Southern China's Guangdong Province. The delegation, which came to Los Angeles as part of the University of Southern California's International Public Policy and Management Program, spent much time enthusiastically discussing trade, transportation, economic and environmental issues and opportunities with the Councilmember.
It's Century Crunch time!
The "Century Crunch" will take place the weekend of July 25-28 to allow for future construction of a new light rail station at Century/Aviation.
This key intersection near an entrance to LAX will be CLOSED for 57 hours beginning 9 p.m. Friday, July 25 until 6 a.m. Monday, July 28 in connection with construction of the Crenshaw/LAX project.
Century Blvd. is a major artery leading into LAX, and the closure is occurring during one of the busiest travel times of the year. It also will restrict traffic on Aviation Boulevard. An estimated 92,800 motorists travel through the intersection on a daily basis; the message is: Plan Ahead, Use Public Transit or Stay Away!
Voices of LA: The Krupnick Festival off the Arts
The Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles is a 5thDistrict mainstay that's quite crucial to the City of Los Angeles. For 60 years, The Foundation has helped individuals, institutions and professional advisors have the greatest possible impact on both the Jewish community and the community at large. The Foundation currently manages assets of more than $900 million and ranks among the 11 largest Los Angeles foundations (based on assets). In 2013, The Foundation and its more than 1,000 donors distributed $65 million in grants to hundreds of organizations with programs that span the range of philanthropic giving.
One lovely initiative that's taking place in 2014, thanks to the Jewish Community Foundation of Los Angeles, is Voices of LA: The Krupnick Festival of the Arts. This is a citywide collaborative series bringing Jewish artists together with artmakers from diverse communities across Los Angeles to create original works featuring musicians, dancers, spoken word and visual artists. The first events have already taken place, but a number more are still scheduled throughout the City, leading up to the "Culminating Festival" which will take place Sunday, September 14 at the Wilshire Boulevard Temple. All events and performances are FREE and open to the public, but an RSVP required. For more information, please visit http://www.voicesoflafest.com/.
Close to 200 people came to Palms Recreation Center for the July 9th screening of the Disney film, Cool Running. Young and old alike were delighted by this 1993 movie that is based on the true – but seemingly improbable – story of the Jamaican bobsled team and the 1988 Winter Olympics.
Councilmember Koretz thanks the Westside Neighborhood Council for joining him in co-sponsoring this family fun event. Also much appreciated is Laura Canfield of the Palms Recreation Center, which did a great job of hosting this screening. Upcoming flicks at the Rec Center include Matilda on July 23rd and (the original movie version of) Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, on August 6.
Summer of Learning
This summer, thousands of young Angelenos are able to enjoy a unique opportunity with a splendid endeavor known as the 2014 Los Angeles Summer of Learning.
Young learners age three to twenty-four can participate in online and in-person programs offering opportunities to earn digital badges in topics ranging from swimming to robotics and writing to fashion. Best of all, most of the programs are free! The Los Angeles Summer of Learning is a collaboration of Mayor Eric Garcetti, LAUSD Superintendent John Deasy, parks, community-based organizations, museums and many others throughout Los Angeles.
In-person classes are offered at some of Los Angeles' biggest cultural institutions such as the L.A. County Museum of Art, the Aquarium of the Pacific and the Getty Center, in addition to classes at city parks, schools and libraries. Online opportunities and sign up happen via summeroflearning.la.
Students can enroll now through the end of July on summeroflearning.la and choose topics they are most interested in. Once they complete a program, the student is awarded a
badge. For every badge earned another class will be suggested, giving youth the opportunity to "level up" or continue on their personal pathway to success.
Students also have an opportunity to get a jumpstart on their professional dreams. To gain the Workforce Readiness Badge, students must earn five badges, such as Basic Job Skills and Build a Resume. Achieving these five badges unlocks the City of Los Angeles & LAUSD/Beyond the Bell's Workforce Ready Badge. Completing this also unlocks the LA Chamber of Commerce's Work Ready Certification Badge to open up a world of professional possibilities. For more information on this, see: http://summeroflearning.la/workforce-readiness-challenge.
The Los Angeles Summer of Learning is inspired by the idea of Connected Learning, a national movement based on the idea that learning happens anywhere and everywhere. The program started in Chicago in 2013 and has since grown nationwide in cities such as Dallas, Columbus and Washington, D.C. This year's Los Angeles program is the most ambitious endeavor yet, as not city has yet partnered with their school district to access as many learners as possible.
The program is made possible by private donations, including $500,000 from JPMorgan Chase, and $200,000 from the California Endowment. The MacArthur Foundation, which helped Chicago pilot the program last summer, has also provided valuable technical assistance in designing the program, the website and digital badges.
Puckish in Encino
A Midsummer Night's Dream has dazzled and delighted countless audiences, and so the night of August 7th looms special for Encino. From 7-9pm, Shakespeare By the Sea, joined by Valley Cultural Center, Encino Chamber of Commerce and Encino Community Center, will be presenting – free to attend! – that wondrous comedy at Encino Park (formerly Genesta Park), 16953 Ventura Blvd. in Encino.
This marvelous theatrical presentation is sponsored by Councilmember Koretz, Encino Neighborhood Council, City of Los Angeles Department of Recreation & Parks, IMT Residential, and McDonald's of Encino. As has already been proclaimed, but is always great news to announce, admission is free. Food and beverages will be available for purchase, though folks can bring their own picnic. Of course, everyone is also invited to bring friends and family, plus lawn chairs or blankets to sit on.
Come, and enjoy!
Tuesday, August 5 – National Night Out!
For many communities throughout this nation, August 5 is "National Night Out" – a time when a joyous spirit of community is celebrated, and the right of people to enjoy safety from crime is honored. These events may differ from place to place, and some are on the scale of a block party while others might be more massive community endeavors. "National Night Out" festivities might include some food and entertainment, perhaps even a speech or two, but whatever the night offers, the most precious benefit is that it is a splendid opportunity for neighbors to come together, often through a neighborhood watch and with our police invited to join in the friendly fun of such a community get-together.
As we get closer to the Tuesday, August 5th date, this "Hi 5" newsletter will give more detailed informatiom about various National Night Out happenings, but you might want to take early note of the following two:
From 5:30-8pm that August 5th night, the LAPD & Melrose Action Neighborhood Watch National Night Out will be held at Pointsettia Recreation Center (Sports Field), 7341 Willoughby Avenue. This is always a massively attended blockbuster event!
At 6pm, National Night Out and the LAPD West Valley Division will present "Movie in the Park" -- with the feature presentation being, The Sandlot. This will take place at LAPD Swat Officer Randal D. Simmons Park, at the corner of Vanowen Street and Wilbur Avenue, next door to West Valley Station (19020 Vanowen Street, Reseda). Attendees are encouraged to bring a picnic basket.

This is my favourite recipe for grapefruit marmalade that is relatively quick to make and you can be a bit slap dash when making it. No need to spend 3 hrs shredding your grapefruit peel, but the result is as good as the traditional way of making marmalade. In this grapefruit marmalade recipe I've used grapefruit, but you can use any citrus fruit here or a mixture of different types.
I've kept this recipe suitable for vegans, so it only has plant based ingredients. It'also gluten and dairy free, which is perfect if you can't have gluten or dairy products. The recipe is very simple to make, but you do need some fairly specialist ingredients, that you might not always have in your kitchen cupboard, but I promise you'll love the milky texture of this chocolate!
If you are trying to be good this spring, here is the perfect recipe for you! These heatlhy pear muffins are ideal for mid afternoon snack and great to have as an emergency breakfast! This simple recipe is very easy to make and you can always swap the pears for other fruit you like. I always make couple of batches at the same time, freeze them and then just take one or two when I need them.

FROGMORE, a mansion within the royal demesne of Windsor, England, in the Home Park, 1 m. S.E. of Windsor Castle. It was occupied by George III.'s queen, Charlotte, and later by the duchess of Kent, mother of Queen Victoria, who died here in 1861. The mansion, a plain building facing a small lake, has in its grounds the mausoleum of the duchess of Kent and the royal mausoleum. The first is a circular building surrounded with Ionic columns and rising in a dome, a lower chamber within containing the tomb, while in the upper chamber is a statue of the duchess. There is also a bust of Princess Hohenlohe-Langenberg, half-sister of Queen Victoria; and before the entrance is a memorial erected by the queen to Lady Augusta Stanley (d. 1876), wife of Dean Stanley. The royal mausoleum, a cruciform building with a central octagonal lantern, richly adorned within with marbles and mosaics, was erected (1862–1870) by Queen Victoria over the tomb of Albert, prince consort, by whose side the queen herself was buried in 1901. There are also memorials to Princess Alice and Prince Leopold in the mausoleum. To the south of the mansion are the royal gardens and dairy.
