Fun Things to Do in Los Angeles: Insider Tips for Your Visit
(back to blog)
You often hear that a destination has "something for everyone." In the case of Los Angeles – a great big, sprawling cultural mishmash of a city – there are so many ways to explore it, that you and all your friends could go and have completely different trips, depending on your interests.
We asked our guides to share a few of their favourite uniquely Los Angeles experiences, to give you a sense of the fun you can have, whether you're a foodie, beach-lover, movie-buff, fashionista, car aficionado...
Fun Things to See, Do, and Eat in Los Angeles
Try the secret menus at LA's most famous burger joint
If you are looking for a quick, tasty, and cheap local bite of a true LA tradition, In N Out burger is a must. But as much as the stars and the Oscar parties love it, there are not many branches in the city. The one on Sunset in Hollywood or the branch just out side of LAX is probably the easiest to access. But don't expect to be in and out of there, you may have to wait in line. Do it as locals do, don't order from the board menu posted on the wall, order from the "secret menu" to avoid disappointment. Just google it and order everything animal style!
Discover the real Batman Cave up in Hollywood Hills
If you're a Batman movies fan or just really enjoy films, this is going to be an unforgettable experience! Hidden in Hollywood Hills, this is an original Batman cave from the TV series. This cave is one of the most popular movie locations and has been used in numerous films. It takes a little hike (10 minutes) so you can also enjoy the beautiful nature of the canyon, and then you can actually go inside of the cave and take pictures! On the other side of the cave you can take some shots of the Hollywood Sign as well.
Get your caffeine fix at one of LA's best coffee hangouts
LA takes its coffee seriously, and Intelligentsia offers the best coffee experience in the city. The location in Venice offers an industrial vibe and the smell of freshly ground coffee is just irresistible. Hang out with locals and visitors, and soak in the atmosphere near the beach.
And while you're in Venice…Treat yourself to LA's best ice cream!
Los Angeles is all about staying on top of the latest trend - from fashion to music to food. It's a serious thing - even when it comes to ice cream. Salt & Straw is located on Abbot Kinney in Venice. The have very unique flavors and if you're want to keep up with the latest foodie trend, it is the hottest (coolest?) ice cream place in town right now.
Indulge in a dream selfie along Melrose Avenue Street Art
Melrose Avenue is typically known for trendy shops and boutiques, restaurants, comedy stores and even tattoo parlors. But recently Melrose Avenue has become a popular outdoor art gallery, known for colorful murals, aka street art. Whether walking or driving, there are many murals that are perfect for capturing those special Los Angeles memories and/or that perfect selfie. The art can and does change up, so you just never know what you're going to find.
Enjoy Malibu's most magical beaches
On the way from Malibu to Topanga, there are plenty of beautiful hidden beaches with incredible views. With massive geological rock and cave formations scattered all over its shores, Matador Beach is a hidden gem for many who have discovered it. Sunsets are an especially great time to visit!
Discover new flavours in Little India, Artesia
Little India, a neighbourhood of Artesia in Southeast LA, is busy and lively with its own cultural art scene and amazing Indian food, fashion, and spice stores. Some say, if you haven't seen Little India, you haven't seen Los Angeles! Experience the colors and flavors of a one-of-a-kind Indian supermarket on Pioneer Boulevard, eating and savouring the most scrumptious of fusion food, snacks and beverages. Top the afternoon off with some exotic Indian ice cream and come away with a new appreciation for Indian food, culture, and flavors that you never knew existed!
Spend an afternoon at the best car museum in the world
Autoweek Magazine named this one of the best car museums in the world. The Nethercutt Collection and Museum sit across the street from each other and showcase all types of vehicles from pre-World War I touring cars to tricked-out low-riders. The vehicles range in size from a tiny 1933 Austin Bantam coupe, as small as a clown car, to an enormous 1911 Oldsmobile Limousine over seven feet tall. There are many classic Rolls Royces and even a charming 1913 cherry-red fire engine. The jewel in the Nethercutt crown is the stunning 1933 Dusenberg, which cost $20,000 new. The Collection shows off its best vehicles in an opulent replica of a 1920's high-end showroom complete with marble columns and crystal chandeliers. Amazingly, every single vehicle is in working order and even the 'Dusey' gets taken out for regular drives on the LA freeways.
We've included links with each tip to tours that involve the experience mentioned - and lots more! So if you're visiting Los Angeles any time soon, consider getting in touch with one of our local guides and plan your one of a kind day in LA.

Yis' day on my visit to The Cookhouse at The Suffolk Food Hall for lunch, I had the chance to chat to owner Oliver Paul, who jointly runs the business with his cousin Robert. This is diversification on a hooge scale, with former cattle rearing units and silage clamps converted into a massive food hall, garden centre and cookhouse. There are commercial food production units complete with ice cream parlour and a large play area for kids with beautiful views across to the River Orwell. This is the kind of place you can wander for hours, with one area leading you into the next and something new round every corner. The provenance of this food doesn't get much better. Keeping it on the family farms with milk-fed pork, game, carrots, potatoes and onions coming from Broxtead while the Freston farm provides the Red Poll beef. The butcher in the food hall even sends the chicken carcasses to Steve Robson, the head chef (and our new Dish of the Day) to make stock. Nothing is wasted.
I ate a starter of lemon and herb hummus with flatbread and olives, chosen from the Summer Set Menu (2 courses £15.50/3courses £19.00 and hooly good value). Then I chose the Deben mussels which are from local supplier Simpers of Suffolk. Last time I tried their mussels I thought they were on the small size, but these were plump and succulent, although a bit hard going served with two thick doorsteps of bread and chips. There isn't a commercial deep fat fryer? They must be soft in the hid, I thought, but these homemade chips were great. I'm a fan of bite size desserts because you can pretend that you are aren't eating so much, so I pretended that I wasn't eating very much and chose 'A couple o' three'. A properly made mini apple and elderflower turnover, a slice of summer puddin' and - best on the plate - raspberry and balsamic sorbet. A roight old Suffolk feast.
Is there a better way to spend a lazy afternoon than sitting and enjoying a Luxury Afternoon Tea, overlooking Neptune Marina and from the comfort of the chic Salthouse Harbour Hotel? Myself and a carefully selected afternoon tea aficionado arrived to a warm welcome from Hollie. The champers arrived first - Dom Ruinart (from the oldest Champagne house in France) We chose English Breakfast from the selection of 10 loose-leaf teas and tucked straight into a good home made sausage roll; egg mayonnaise sandwiches that were well seasoned and freshly cut, cheese scones filled with cream cheese and tomatoes were the big boys on the block and an open smoked salmon sandwich was colourful and delicately topped with a frond of fresh dill. Up a layer on the vibrant bue and rather wobbly cake stand to the sweet section. Favourites here were the mini chocolate éclairs, light, bursting with fresh cream and drizzled with chocolate. Macarons were a delicate yellow and filled with a zingy lemon curd. A fruit tartlet not mentioned on the menu was colourful with sliced strawberries, raspberry and kiwi fruit on a crème patissiere. Oh the calories! Deep breath, a little rest, the teapot topped up.
The next round included the soft creamy cupcake - we were divided on opinion, I said a little boring, companion said light and deliciously vanilla flavoured. There was flapjack and a chocoholics delight of rich, dark chocolate mousse on a crunchy biscuit base. We still had the scones to go! Whilst having a breather we discussed whether the clotted cream or the jam should go on first. These were excellent freshly baked scones, served warm, soft crumb in the middle and crisp crust. We cut them in half and tried it the Cornish way - jam on top - and then the Devon way - cream on top. Either way the afternoon tea was excellent.


As The Outsider and Thrillville studio Frontier Developments announces LostWinds, its 3D platformer WiiWare launch title, Gamasutra talks to studio founder David Braben about the game's collaborative genesis and his thoughts on the WiiWare service and downloadable landscape as a whole.
Frontier says the game was built on the studio's in-house 3D engine technology, and focuses on a "novel, playful" control mechanism that puts players in control of both a young boy, Toku, and Enril, a wind spirit, as the two fight to release a curse put on the world of Mistralis by the evil Balasar.
�The game idea came quite a long time ago, looking at good game about controlling the wind, which is a lovely gameplay idea."
"It's perfect for the Wii," says Braben, "and actually was conceived of before the Wii, but when we saw it we thought, oh, wow that�s absolutely perfect." The company had a meeting with Nintendo at the end of 2007, with its idea already intact, and thought that with Frontier currently at 160 people, it could surely spare a WiiWare team.
The idea itself, says Braben, came when Frontier initiated a 'game of the week' program, where someone would propose a new idea for the entire staff to pull apart, criticizing parts while praising others.
LostWinds is the first 'game of the week' title that has fully come through the process. "It's a little like putting a leg of lamb into stream of piranhas," says Braben. "The water fizzes for a while, and anything left is pretty tough."
He says that company wide there's been a massively positive reaction to the game, and especially from its 12 person team. "You can see that there�s a lot of love. For me the games I�ve really liked are games that you can see how much love has gone into it," saying that that love is apparent in the consistency of LostWinds' world, and the fact the team has created a rich backstory to the game, despite having little effect on the gameplay itself.
Frontier managing director David Walsh called the gameplay, "in a funny way, single-player cooperative" -- main character Toku is controlled with the thumbstick, while the Wiimote harnesses the power of Enril the wind spirit.
Toku alone is quite vulnerable, the two explain, "he's not particularly powerful, but he's a physical presence in the world," and needs Enril to protect and guide him by using the Wiimote to control the wind, helping him glide, pick up heavy objects and keep enemies away.
Braben asserts that LostWinds may be the first Wii title to exploit the console's controls in an entirely new way. "There are three categories of control systems -- just the Wiimote, games that use both with a slightly arbitrary assignment of keys, which takes a while to get used to, and a third which uses the Wiimote as a pointer in combination with the nunchuk. But then there's a fourth way, using each independently of each other which it turns out feels very natural -- we're probably the first to do that."
As one of the first announced WiiWare titles, we ask Braben how he believes the service will stand up to its console competitors. Apart from the fact that the Wii has fast gathered an impressive installed based, Braben said that while Xbox Live Arcade was easily navigable at first, "It's got very hard since. I don't even know if there's stuff that I want out there."
The WiiWare service he said, could provide "potential solutions that don't apply to other services. It's for Nintendo to announce, but certainly from what I've seen it looks very interesting."
Though the company has yet to decide on a set price point, we asked what Braben thought of Gamasutra's recent editorial on downloadable price points. He responded that, especially with broad-appeal games, the market is quite sensitive to price, and sales dramatically increase at lower prices, with sales spikes at each further price drop.
"The problem we�ve got as an industry," he continued, "is where people see value in price -- if you put it at a low price, people think that must be rubbish. We haven�t decided the price yet, there�s a bracket, and it's a case of liking to see it out at a low price so it�s not a barrier."
But are competing services driving price points down for the industry as a whole? "There is an expectation flipside of it, you're right," Braben said, "it is an issue, and I suspect Microsoft are trying to claw the price back up again. The problem is there isn�t a way of judging the service, and what you are going to get. I�ve seen some games on Xbox Live that look fantastic and others that are 'less so.'"
Finally, we asked if he thought WiiWare presented a good opportunity to launch original IP. "There's quite low risk to produce a game at all, not just original IP," he said. "LostWinds was conceived as a game for the Wii rather than a distribution mechanism. We still may release it as a disc based game in the future. It's not our currently plan, but wouldn�t balk at the idea."
"We fully expect the WiiWare service to be a success," Braben concluded, "we think it will do really well."

Q: RSS reader openStream() I am new to Java , but really want to become better at it. I'm trying to write a simple RSS reader. Here's the code:
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class RSSReader {
public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println(readRSS("http://www.usnews.com/rss/health-news"));
}
public static String readRSS(String urlAddress){
    try {
            URL rssUrl = new URL(urlAddress);
            BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(rssUrl.openStream()));
            String sourceCode = "";
            String line;
            while((line = in.readLine())!=null){
                if(line.contains("<title>")){
                    int firstPos = line.indexOf("<title>");
                    String temp = line.substring(firstPos);
                    temp = temp.replace("<title>","");
                    int lastPos = temp.indexOf("</title>");
                    temp = temp.substring(0,lastPos);
                    sourceCode +=temp+"\n";
                }
            }
        System.out.println("YAAAH"+sourceCode);
        in.close();

        return sourceCode;
    }   catch (MalformedURLException ue) {
            System.out.println("Malformed URL");
    }   catch (IOException ioe) {
            System.out.println("WTF?");
    }
    return null;
}
}

But it is catching IOException all the time, and I see "WTF".
I realised that the whole program fails when OpenStream() starts its' work.
I don't know how to fix it.

A: As indicated, you would need to set your proxy parameters/credentials right before you establish a connection.
Set proxy username and password only in case your proxy is authenticated.
public static String readRSS(String urlAddress) {

System.setProperty("http.proxyHost", YOUR_PROXY_HOST);
System.setProperty("http.proxyPort", YOUR_PROXY_PORT);

//Below 2 for authenticated proxies only
System.setProperty("http.proxyUser", YOUR_USERNAME);
System.setProperty("http.proxyPassword", YOUR_PASSWORD);

 try {
    ...

I tested your method behind a proxy and it works perfectly, after setting the parameters i.e.

HDTV is a single of these offenders! HDTV stands for High Definition Tv and means the broadcast of tv signals with a higher resolution than traditional formats (NTSC, SECAM, PAL) let.
With all of the abbreviations flying around the stores and commercials, it is extremely simple to turn out to be confused as to what it is you require to buy.
HDTV is 1 of these offenders! HDTV stands for High Definition Television and signifies the broadcast of tv signals with a higher resolution than conventional formats (NTSC, SECAM, PAL) enable.
Typically HDTV is broadcast digitally, i.e. collectively with cable, satellite, or a digital receiver. Bda includes further about the purpose of it. You can not view HDTV with an analogue aerial.
There are 3 factors you want to be capable to view HDTV and these are firstly a source, such as a nearby, cable or satellite HDTV station. Secondly, a way to receive the signal, like an antenna, cable or satellite service, and finally an HDTV set.
For the set you can pick from an integrated HDTV, which has a digital tuner, also identified as an ATSC tuner, constructed in. If a station close to you is broadcasting in HDTV, you can attach an antenna to an integrated set and watch the station in high definition. Or you can obtain an HDTV-ready set, also referred to as an HDTV monitor, which does not have an HDTV tuner. HDTV-ready sets frequently have NTSC tuners, so you can nevertheless watch analogue Television with them. Your picture high quality will nevertheless be greater than on your old Television, but it won't be high definition till you get an HDTV receiver.
An antenna - Based on your location relative to the stations you want to watch, a little antenna may suffice, but otherwise you may well need a rooftop or attic antenna. You can acquire an antenna that is especially produced for digital signals, but any reliable VHF/UHF antenna will operate.
Cable - Keep in mind that digital cable is not the exact same as HDTV. My mother discovered distributed antenna systems by browsing Yahoo. Examine with your provider to uncover out which packages include HDTV stations. You will also either need to have a set-leading cable box or a CableCARD to allow your tv to receive and decode the cable signal.
Satellite service - As with cable, check with your provider to discover out which plans and stations use HDTV signals. You might want a diverse satellite dish and tuner to receive HDTV signals by way of satellite..

Green Party's Elizabeth May to visit Yellowknife

Elizabeth May, leader of the federal Green Party, is to visit Yellowknife on July 3 and 4.
May, in her 13th year as party leader, will host a town-hall meeting in the city on Wednesday evening.
The latest leg in her "Community Matters" series of such public meetings begins at 7pm on Wednesday at Northern United Place, and is scheduled to last two hours.
"The purpose of the town hall is to spark genuine conversation about what we can all do together to secure our future for humanity and the natural world," read a statement from the party announcing the event.
"All are invited to come and share their priorities, concerns and vision for Canada's future."
The party says its NWT candidate for the forthcoming federal election will be chosen on July 10.
Paul Falvo and William Gagnon are the two nominees for the candidacy. The party had been due to announce its decision earlier this summer – a process that was subsequently delayed.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Conservative leader Andrew Scheer both visited Yellowknife in 2017. Jagmeet Singh has yet to make a public appearance in the city since becoming federal NDP leader two years ago.
Michael McLeod, the incumbent Liberal MP for the NWT, will defend his seat in the fall election – polling day is October 21.
Banker Yanik D'Aigle will represent the Conservatives, while Luke Quinlan will stand for Maxime Bernier's new People's Party. The New Democrats have yet to announce a candidate.

Q: How do I create a REGEX to get nested custom tags? I want to match the texts that are between the ${ and }$ tags but my regex is stopping at the inner tag and leaving the outer tag out
That's my regex: /${[\W\w]+?}$/g
And that's the text
    constructor(public props: ${ClassName}$Model) {
        super()
${fields$:
        this._#{key}# = this.initProp(this, new #{value:1}#(props?.#{key}#, '#{key}# da ${ClassName}$'))
}$
    }

enter image description here
I would like to extract the tags
${Classname}$ and

${fields$:
        this._#{key}# = this.initProp(this, new #{value:1}#(props?.#{key}#, '#{key}# da ${ClassName}$'))
}$

but my result is being
${Classname}$ and

${fields$:
        this._#{key}# = this.initProp(this, new #{value:1}#(props?.#{key}#, '#{key}# da ${ClassName}$

can anybody help me?

A: You can match ${, then any char other than ${ and }$ or any text inside single quotes (double quote support can also be added) with escaped quotes support, and then }$:
\$\{(?:'[^\\']*(?:\\.[^\\']*)*'|(?!}\$|\$\{)[^'])*}\$

See the regex demo. Details:

*

*\$\{ - ${ string

*(?:'[^\\']*(?:\\.[^\\']*)*'|(?!}\$|\$\{)[^'])* - zero or more of

*

*'[^\\']*(?:\\.[^\\']*)*' - a substring between single quotes with escaped quotes support

*|  - or

*(?!}\$|\$\{)[^'] - any char other than ' that is not the starting point of the }$ or ${ char sequences

*}\$ - a }$ string

Note: this still fail if the initial ${ is already inside quotes. It is still possible to work around that situation, but the final solution will depend on what your regex flavor and/or API can offer.

Practice theory is a theory of how social beings, with their diverse motives and their diverse intentions, make and transform the world in which they live. It is a dialectic between social structure and human agency working back and forth in a dynamic relationship.[1] Practice theory, as outlined by Sherry Ortner,[2] "seeks to explain the relationship(s) that obtain between human action, on the one hand, and some global entity which we call 'the system' on the other." The approach seeks to resolve the antinomy between traditional structuralist approaches and approaches such as methodological individualism which attempted to explain all social phenomena in terms of individual actions.[3]

Pierre Bourdieu
Practice theory is strongly associated with the French theorist and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. His concept of habitus represents an important formulation of the principles of practice theory.[4] Bourdieu developed the notion of 'habitus' to capture 'the permanent internalisation of the social order in the human body'. His book, 'Outline of a Theory of Practice', which is based on his work in Algeria during the Algerian War of Independence is an example of Bourdieu's formulation of practice theory applied to empirical data gathered through ethnography.[5] Several works of his are considered classics, not only in sociology, but also in anthropology, education, and cultural studies. Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste (La Distinction) was named as one of the 20th century's ten most important works of sociology by the International Sociological Association.
Known for his theory of structuration and his holistic view of modern societies, Anthony Giddens is considered to be one of the most prominent modern sociologists, his works, Central Problems in Social Theory (1979) and The Constitution of Society (1984), brought him international fame on the sociological arena. Giddens developed the theory of structuration, an analysis of agency and structure, in which primacy is granted to neither, to demonstrate 'how principles of order could both produce and be reproduced at the level of practice itself' and not through some 'ordering' society impinging upon individual actors from above.
A closely related notion to Bourdieu's habitus is Michel Foucault's concept of 'discipline'. Like habitus, discipline 'is structure and power that have been impressed on the body forming permanent dispositions'. In contrast to Bourdieu, though, Foucault laid particular emphasis on the violence through which modern regimes (e.g. prisons and asylums) are used as a form of social control.[6]
Agency: An actor choosing to act, the human ability to act upon and change the world.
Field: A structured social space with its own rules, schemes of domination, legitimate opinions. Bourdieu uses the concept of field instead of analyzing societies solely in terms of classes. For example, fields in modern societies include arts, education, politics, law and economy.
Habitus: Collective system of dispositions that individuals or groups have. Bourdieu uses as a central idea in analyzing structure embodied within human practice.[7] The notion captures 'the permanent internalization of the social order in the human body'.
Doxa: Those deeply internalised societal or field-specific presuppositions that 'go without saying' and are not up for negotiation. A constructed vision of reality so naturalized that it appears to be the only vision of reality learned, fundamental, deep-founded, unconscious beliefs, and values, taken as self-evident universals, that inform an agent's actions and thoughts within a particular field, e.g. 365 days, 24hrs, 60 seconds.
Hexis: The way in which social agents 'carry themselves' in the world; their gait, gesture, postures, etc.
Cultural capital: Assets which enable holders to mobilize cultural authority e.g., competencies, education, intellect, style of speech, dress, or physical appearance.
Methodological individualism: A claim that social phenomena must be explained by explaining how they reduce to individual agency. [8] how they result from individual actions. It can be used to criticize the structural functionalist view of society as the determinant of individual behaviour. A methodological individualist would suggest that macro social events (wars, recessions, etc.) and conditions (economic, political, and cultural systems) should be explained in the terms of beliefs and actions of individual people.
Structuralism: A theoretical paradigm that privileges social structure over social action,[9] Elements of human culture must be understood in terms of their relationship to a larger, overarching system or structure. According to structural theory in anthropology and social anthropology, meaning is produced and reproduced within a culture through various practices, phenomena and activities that serve as systems of signification. A structuralist approach may study activities as diverse as food-preparation and serving rituals, religious rites, games, literary and non-literary texts, and other forms of entertainment to discover the deep structures (e.g. mythology, kinship) by which meaning is produced and reproduced within the culture.
Structuration: Human agency and social structure are intertwined. Praxis (process) is the repetition of the acts of individual agents which reproduces or subverts the social structure. Social life is more than random individual acts, but is not merely determined by social forces. There is a social structure - traditions, institutions, moral codes, and established ways of doing things; but it also means that these can be changed when people start to ignore them, replace them, or reproduce them differently.[10]

Stop the 5G rollout in Sefton
Browse all current ePetitions
We the undersigned petition the council to Protect people's health by halting the installation of 5G antennas throughout the borough of Sefton
In a press release on 9 September 2021, the government announced that £4 million of public funds will be used to help mobile phone companies work together with local councils to use "curbside infrastructure", such as lampposts and bus shelters, for 5G network equipment.
If Sefton Council takes part in this project, there will soon be 5G wireless antennas on lampposts throughout Sefton, beaming unprecedented levels of hazardous electromagnetic radiation (EMR) into our homes, workplaces and schools.
Shockingly, the industry has not produced a single study to show that 5G technology is safe. No risk assessment has been carried out on its effects on humans, wildlife or the environment. On the other hand, evidence from thousands of peer-reviewed studies already points to possible harms from existing sources of radiation, such as WiFi, 3G and 4G. Experts warn that the addition of 5G to the mix could have very serious and damaging consequences for human health.
EMR was classified as a possible human carcinogen in 2011 by the World Health Organisation International Agency for Research on Cancer. Since then, evidence of increased cancer risks has been strengthened by further human and animal studies.
Cancer rates have skyrocketed in recent years. The vast majority of people in Sefton, and indeed across the UK, will have an affected family member or friend…or will be a cancer sufferer or survivor themselves. Who knows to what extent existing radiation is driving the increase? Who knows how many more people could develop cancer as a result of 5G?
Other proven effects of EMR include damage to the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, and neurological disorders.
Children are at greater risk of harm from EMR, because their brain tissues are more absorbent, their skulls are thinner, and they are physically smaller. Why then are 5G masts being erected near schools across the UK, including Sefton?
The 5G rollout is being challenged on the grounds of safety by scientists and lawyers across the world, including a legal team headed by Michael Mansfield QC here in the UK. In August 2021 in the USA, Robert F. Kennedy Jnr's Children's Health Defense and the Environmental Health Trust successfully sued the Federal Communications Commission for failing to ensure that its guidelines adequately protect against harmful effects of exposure to EMR.
Is a faster internet connection worth the potential serious harm that 5G could cause to people's health? Have any of us ever been asked whether we think the risks are worth taking?
As residents of Sefton, we demand an immediate halt to the 5G rollout across Sefton, to allow for thorough and comprehensive health and safety investigations and risk assessments to be carried out.

Michael Heizer – A Look at Land Artist Michael Heizer's Earthworks
Land artist Michael Heizer specializes in site-specific and large-scale earthen sculptures. This leading land artist explores the relationship between negative and positive space in his monumental excavations and sculptures. As one of the artists credited with founding the Land Art Movement, Heizer continues to challenge preconceived ideas about what constitutes art and artists' relationships to the earth.

Michael Heizer Biography
Many believe that Heizer's childhood destined him for this artistic path. Early in his life, Heizer experienced a wide range of influences that shaped his career. Since the 1960s, Heizer has been pushing the boundaries of the art world. With his land-based artworks, Heizer challenges artists and audiences to break the confines of art galleries and find beauty in the natural world.
Early Years and Influences
In 1944, Michael Heizer was born in California, in the city of Berkeley. His father, Robert Fleming Heizer, was one of the leading anthropologists of his time and specialized in Native American culture in Western America. Throughout his youth, Heizer's father exposed him to the landscapes of Nevada, Bolivia, Peru, and California. Heizer's grandfather, Olaf P. Jenkins, was a geologist, and one cannot ignore his influence on Heizer's artistic development.
At the age of 12, Heizer took a year away from schooling as he accompanied his father to Mexico for an archeological dig. Heizer drew the sites while his father studied ancient monument rock sources. Site drawings continued to be an integral part of Heizer's artistic process throughout his career.
New York: Michael Heizer Art Beginings
Beginning in 1963, Heizer spent a year at the San Fransisco Art Institute. Heizer then moved to New York in 1966, leaving the after a year. In New York, Heizer came into contact with several prominent artists, including Dan Flavin, Tony Smith, Carl Andre, Frank Stella, and Walter De Maria. Heizer supported himself in New York by painting apartments, and he began to work on his first abstract paintings and sculptures.
Heizer's first paintings, which he called "negative paintings," were on shaped canvases, blending his love of painting with his passion for form. Heizer used PVA latex to paint these geometric canvases, and these untraditionally shaped canvases highlight his early exploration of negative and positive forms. Fascinated with the melodies of space and matter, and absence and presence, Heizer would continue to explore these themes throughout his career.
In paintings like Track Painting (1967) and Trapezoid Painting (1966), Heizer leaves the interiors of his raw canvas white to emphasize negative space, but he paints the perimeters black to highlight the contrast. These early "displacement paintings" echo the geometries he can achieve in his later earthworks.
Going West: Michael Heizer Earthworks
It seems that Heizer found New York to be confining, as he longed to return to the planes and geographies of the West. Towards the end of 1967, he did just that. Heizer left the cramped city for the deserts of Nevada and California. It was here that he began to create his first negative sculptures. These sculptures used the earth as their canvas and medium. Heizer removed earth from the desert floor, creating negative subterranean forms.
During this part of his career, Heizer collaborated with several other early earth artists. He even featured in "Spiral Jetty", a film by Robert Smithson and one of the most widely known examples of earth art.
With his colleague Walter de Maria, Heizer made a trip to the mountains of Sierra Nevada. Here, he began to create a new genre of earth art using the earth as the canvas and the medium. In the mountain woods of the Sierra Nevada, Heizer dug two great pits. One of the pits he lined with sheet metal and the other with plywood.
Heizer himself declared that this earthen installation was "ultra-modern art." In these same forests, Heizer completed North, East, South, West (1967), an earthen installation consisting of several geometric holes in the Sierra Nevada.
Far away from the sky-high buildings and white walls of New York studios, Heizer began to carve out a new, unique artistic practice. During his time in the West, Heizer was able to reach new heights in the size and extent of his earthen installations. In 1968, he created a series of enormous "negative" sculptures called Nine Nevada Depressions. Heizer carved these depressions into various dry lakes throughout Nevada, including Massacre Dry Lake, Black Rock Desert, and Jean Dry Lake.
The following year, Heizer used concentrated aniline dyes and white lime powder to create a series called Primitive Dye Paintings (1969). These paintings covered large areas of the desert landscape and formed amorphous organic forms when viewed from above.
In the same year, Heizer embarked on one of his most well-known negative sculptures, Double Negative. This large project required the displacement of around 240,000 tonnes of rock from the Nevada desert to form 30-foot-wide and 50-foot-deep trenches, and it represented the culmination of this early period of his artistic career. The two mammoth trenches at Mormon Mesa spanned 1,500 feet.

The City: Exploring New Territories
Following his time in the desert landscapes of Nevada, Heizer began to look for new territories. Heizer compiled various real estate files for properties in six states in the West. He purchased remote areas of land as his raw materials and canvases.
In 1970, Heizer began to conceptualize his greatest installation yet, one that remains under construction to this day, the City. This immense project combines Heizer's ability to work with enormous variations in perspective, viewpoint, and scale with his interest in ancient civilizations.
Heizer found inspiration for this project in the pre-Colombian ritual cities of South and Central America and the mound-building traditions of Native American citizens in the Nevada desert.
Although he has not yet completed the City, Heizer continued to create new sculptures that explore the dynamics between negative space and positive forms. In 1976 he competed Adjacent, Against, Upon. This large sculpture explores the relationships between cast concrete forms and three enormous granite slabs. The granite slabs traveled to Myrtle Edwards Park by train and barge from their quarry site in the Cascade Mountain Range.
As he worked on the City, Heizer also developed several bodies of work. These works include negative wall sculptures where boulders and rocks are set into rectangular niches. Heizer also worked on developing screen-printed colors on shaped canvases. You can find these installations in various international galleries and public spaces.

Heizer also used granite in a sculpture commissioned for the home of Carol and Roy Doumani in Marina del Rey. Displaced/Replaced Mass (1969/1977) is an earthen sculpture with four differently sized granite boulders from the High Sierra. These boulders sit in submerged concrete boxes without lids so that the tops of the boulders sit level with the ground.
Heizer completed several commissions during this period, including a sculpture at the former New York IBM Building. This sculpture called Levitated Mass (1982) (a name he would re-use in the future) was the top of a large rock that Heizer sheered off and cut grooves into the surface. Heizer then set the boulder, which was designed as a fountain, onto supports within a stainless steel structure. In the completed sculpture, the boulder appears to float above the running water.
In the 1980s, the Ottawa Silica Company commissioned an earthwork by Heizer. This large artwork was called Effigy Tumuli. The earthwork lay on a site along the Illinois River that used to be a surface coal mine. Heizer turned the abandoned mine into a large earthwork consisting of five large abstract animal forms. The animal forms included a water strider, a snake, a frog, a turtle, and a catfish. Heizer chose these animal forms to reflect the natural environment of the site along the Illinois River.
Since he began to work on The City, Heizer has shied away from massive media attention. Becoming a bit of a recluse, Heizer has continued to create (relatively) smaller scale artworks, including paintings and sculptures. Many of these works have featured in solo exhibitions, including shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Gagosian Gallery. You can still see many of his works in galleries and public spaces across the world.
Heizer was diagnosed with polyneuropathy, a neurological disorder, in 1995. This disorder reduces one's ability to use their hands, but Heizer did not give in to his illness. To this day, Heizer continues to work on "The City" and many other works.
Heizer completed a permanent installation called Levitated Mass (2012) at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. This installation shares a name with a previous piece, but it is not the same. The installation features an enormous white diorite boulder sitting above a long, 456 foot sloped path.

The boulder sits at a slight angle, and it rests between Sixth Street and Resnick Pavillion. As with all of Heizer's works of art, the process of creating this work was not a simple one. The rock came from the Jurupa Valley, and the journey to the museum took eleven nights.
Filmmaker Doug Pray directed and edited a feature documentary about Levitated Mass which shared its name. The documentary explores Heizer's career and documents the making of the sculpture and its journey to the exhibition site.
The Altar series was first presented in 2015 at the Gagosian Gallery in New York. This series of large steel sculptures allude to a variety of Heizer's influences, including hieroglyphs, ancient rock carvings, and cattle-branding symbols. In this series, Heizer unifies architecture and images from multiple eras and cultures to create art that could outlast many human generations.
Michael Heizer Art: Major Works
In a sense, we can consider many of Heizer's works as major works because of their size. Of the multitude of creative projects that Heizer undertook, several stand out because they break boundaries and invite a new conception of art. Here is a list of some of Heizer's most well-known and influential pieces that we have mentioned briefly in this article.
Date Work Title Location
1967 North, East, South, West Sierra Nevada
1968 Nine Nevada Depressions Dry Lakes throughout Nevada
1969 Double Negative Mormon Mesa, Nevada
1976 Adjacent, Against, Upon Myrtle Edwards Park
1977 Displace/Replaced Mass Marina del Rey
1980 Effigy Tumuli Illinois River
1982 Levitated Mass IBM Building New York
2012 Levitated Mass Museum of Contemporary Art LA
2015 Altar Series Gagosian Gallery New York
1970- City Garden Valley
Compression Line (1968)
Embedded in the gardens of the Glenstone Museum lies Heizer's Compression Line. The hollow steel chamber is 17 feet long, and it lies submerged in raspberry pink earth. The only part of the steel frame that is visible is an opening. The steel frame, pinched at the center, hints at the negative space within the chamber.
The allusion to hollow space shapes the land around the piece. As a sculpture and an earthwork, this piece is typical of Heizer's experimentations with form and absence. Although this is not one of Heizer's most famous or largest works, it is a thoughtful and intriguing exploration of the definition of art. What makes this work more artistic than a rabbit's burrow? At what point do we begin to call a form art? Heizer does not offer any answers, he only encourages more questions.

Double Negative (1969-1970)
The two deep trenches that Heizer blasted into the cliff faces of Nevada's Moapa Valley represent a turning point in his career. Heizer created this piece during the conception of the Earth Art Movement. The two large trenches are 1,500 feet long and 50 feet deep, and they run perpendicular to the valley. This piece is the epitome of what Heizer calls negative sculpture because the form is only revealed with the removal of matter. Around 240,000 tons of sandstone and rhyolite rock had to be removed with heavy blasting equipment.
This artwork truly captures Heizer's passion for creating art beyond the confines of studio walls. Not only is the piece a contemplation on negative space, but it also celebrates the positive forms of the landscape around the trenches. Even the vastest gallery or studio could not contain a work of this magnitude and complexity. It is only possible to consider the enormity of this work from the air.
Double Negative (1969-1970) by Michael Heizer; Retis, CC BY 2.0, via Wikimedia Commons
Double Negative was one of the first pieces of earth art that used the earth as its medium and canvas. The piece is also typical of modern art in how it blurs the lines between worldly objects and spaces and what we consider art. The viewer is encouraged to consider what we define as art and why that definition does not extend further.
For Michael Heizer, Double Negative was not ecological art. However, it certainly draws attention to the natural beauty of the world around us. For Michael Heizer Double Negative is a directed exploration of the relationship between form and negative space and the aesthetic result of one displacing the other. These ideas extend from much of Heizer's early paintings, which found influence in the Abstract Expressionists.
Originally, Heizer was unconcerned with the inevitable deterioration of this work. In recent years, however, he has considered using engineered concrete to rework the ramps.
Double Negative raises many questions for those who view it. What happens to art outside of the studio or gallery? How do you observe an artwork of such great scale? How does human art relate to the contours and forms created by millions of years of evolution and change?
City (1970-)
Although this work remains under construction, it is without a doubt Heizer's most well-known project. Heizer began working on this mammoth project towards the end of his twenties. By this time, Heizer was already firmly at the forefront of the Earth Art Movement. For Michael Heizer, City is a culmination of all of his influences and artistic perspectives. He combines his fascination with ancient civilizations with his exploration of space and mass to create a work on a scale never seen before.
According to an interview with Heizer, his choice of materials was very strategic. Drawing on his knowledge of ancient South American cultures like the Aztecs, Olmecs, and Incans, Heizer insists that using seemingly worthless materials, like stone, concrete, and rocks, is protective.
The gold-encrusted artworks of these ancient cultures were pillaged and destroyed for their worth. Heizer believes that anyone who wishes to destroy the City will find that it takes much more effort than it is worth. Heizer wants his works, particularly the City, to outlast at least our generation, if not the whole of humanity.
It is ironic that this work, which Heizer hopes will outlast humanity, is flanked by a bomb-test site and an Air Force base. In recent years, the site has come under increasing threat with different companies vying for development rights. A railway to transport nuclear waste to a suggested container in Yucca Mountain has been suggested for the land around the City.
Fortunately, Senator Harry Reid is an advocate for public land and vehemently opposes the Yucca Mountain repository. Harry Reid fell in love with Heizer's City and has pledged his support for the project, even convincing Barack Obama to declare the 704,000 acres of land around the City a national monument.
For Michael Heizer, City is reminiscent of the pyramids, temples, and courtyards of pre-Columbian cultures. The site consists of mastaba-like raised geometric concrete and steel forms and a sunken plaza. The contrast between form and absence draws attention to the meanings of negative and positive spaces.
Although Heizer takes great influence from the complexes of pre-Columbian cultures, the City is not a direct reference to any specific sites. Despite this, the influence is clear. Not only is the scale reminiscent of these ancient complexes, but the relationship between forms over a large expansion of dramatic desert landscape confirms that City is a meditation on the cultural history of the Americas.
The significance of the City cannot be understated. The work is one of the greatest pieces of art made in the last few centuries, both in size and cultural importance. The lengthy construction process, and Heizer's reluctance to let anyone judge it before completion, have lent the site a mythical status.
This complex is known internationally, and we all hope that it will be finished so that future generations may marvel at the labor and dedication that Heizer poured into this earthwork.
Levitated Mass (2012)
This piece is the second work by Heizer to adopt this name, and it is the most well-known of the two. The piece is installed in the sculpture garden in the Museum of Art in Los Angeles. Above a 456 foot, sunken pathway sits a 340-ton granite boulder. The boulder measures around 21.5 by 21.5 feet and makes for a daunting walk beneath it. Situating large boulders in precarious positions is a common theme in Heizer's work, and this is one of the most impressive examples.

The granite boulder came from the Stone Valley Materials quarry in California, and it took 11 nights to arrive at its final resting place in Los Angeles. The 105-mile journey took the boulder through four counties, 22 cities, and the densely populated neighborhoods of Los Angeles. The journey was followed closely by many, including a documentary team who introduced much of the world to Michael Heizer. The placement of the boulder above a walkway of 456 feet allows for 360-degree viewing.
Michael Heizer remains an influential figure in the world of Earth Art. Since the 1960s, Heizer has challenged the world to view art and the earth differently. Michael Heizer earthworks encourage us all to leave the confines of galleries and studios, to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and its plentiful materials.


SignalP provides a resource for the prediction of signal peptide cleavage sites in proteins.
SignalP provides a resource for the prediction of signal peptide cleavage sites in proteins. The signal peptide is often used to localize proteins to specific regions within the cell, so knowledge of a specific signal peptide for a protein can provide a clue to its likely location. At present, there are three 'organism groups' for which predictions can be made - Gram-negative bacteria, Gram-positive bacteria, and eukaryotes. A new version of this software, SignalP v2.0.b2, is currently being tested from the website, and this version has several new features, including graphics integrated into the output.
The site is quite easy to use. The amino-acid sequence to be analyzed can be pasted into a window on the opening web page, and the results are processed within a few seconds (depending on the size of the protein and the internet connection). There are links to background information as well as links to PDF files of the original articles for a detailed description of the methods used for signal peptide identification.
Overall, the site appears to be regularly updated, every few months. The main page was updated in October, 1999 (about 7 months ago), but some of the web pages date back to 1996.
The V.2 beta version currently being tested is preferable to the original. This version incorporates a new signal peptide prediction method based on hidden Markov models which allows improved discrimination between signal peptides and uncleaved signal anchors for eukaryotic data. Prediction of cleavage site position is based on a newer dataset than the earlier version. I ran several sequences through the program, and printed the resulting output - including graphs - with ease. I also like the link to the Hot paper in bioinformatics interview with SignalP's designer Henrik Nielsen.
There are several other CBS prediction servers that predict structural, biochemical and molecular features of DNA and protein sequences. For example, TargetP can give a predicted subcellular location of a protein on the basis of its amino-terminal sequence.

How the immune system fights off malaria
Anne Trafton, MIT News Office

The parasites that cause malaria are exquisitely adapted to the various hosts they infect — so studying the disease in mice doesn't necessarily reveal information that could lead to drugs effective against human disease.
Now, a team led by MIT researchers has developed a strain of mice that mimics many of the features of the human immune system and can be infected with the most common human form of the malaria parasite, known as Plasmodium falciparum. Using this strain, the researchers have already identified a key host defense mechanism, and they believe it should lead to many more useful discoveries.
"Human malaria studies have been hampered by a lack of animal models," says Jianzhu Chen, the Ivan R. Cottrell Professor of Immunology, a member of MIT's Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research, and the lead principal investigator of the Infectious Disease Interdisciplinary Research Group at the Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART). "This paves the way to start dissecting how the host human immune system interacts with the pathogen."
Chen is one of the senior authors of a paper describing the findings in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, along with Ming Dao, a principal research scientist in MIT's Department of Materials Science and Engineering (DMSE); Subra Suresh, president of Carnegie Mellon University (and a former MIT dean of engineering and the Vannevar Bush Professor Emeritus of Engineering); and Peter Preiser, a professor at Nanyang Technology University in Singapore.
Plasmodium falciparum, a parasite carried by mosquitoes, usually infects the liver and red blood cells of its victims. Scientists hoping to study malaria in mice have previously generated mice with human red blood cells — but these mice also have compromised immune systems, so they can't be used to study the immune response to malaria infection.
The humanized mouse project described in the new PNAS study grew out of an interdisciplinary program Suresh initiated in 2003 involving researchers from MIT, several institutions in Singapore, and the Institut Pasteur in France to study the mechanobiology of human red blood cells invaded by malaria parasites and its consequences for the pathogenesis of malaria. In 2007, Chen, Suresh, Dao, and Preiser established a collaboration, through SMART, to develop a humanized mouse model for malaria.
Over the past several years, Chen and colleagues have developed strains of mice that have the human cells necessary for a comprehensive immune response. To generate these cells, the researchers deliver human hematopoietic stem cells, along with cytokines that help them mature into B and T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and macrophages — all critical components of the immune system. These mice have already proven useful to study other diseases, such as dengue fever.
To adapt the mice for the study of malaria, the researchers injected them with human red blood cells every day for a week, at which point 25 percent of their red blood cells were human — enough for the malaria parasite to cause an infection.
Natural defense
In the new PNAS paper, the researchers investigated the role of NK cells and macrophages during the first two days of malaria infection. They found that eliminating macrophages had very little impact on the immune response during those early stages. However, in mice lacking NK cells, parasite levels went up sevenfold, suggesting that NK cells are critical to controlling infection early on.
To further investigate the role of NK cells, the researchers placed human NK cells in a sample of infected and uninfected red blood cells. The NK cells randomly interacted with both types of cells, but they latched onto infected cells much longer, eventually killing them.
This indicates that NK cells may provide an important immune defense against malaria, says Lewis Lanier, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of California at San Francisco. "These findings will prompt future studies in infected humans and suggest that augmenting NK cell function might provide a new therapeutic strategy for malaria," says Lanier, who was not part of the research team.
The researchers also identified a cell adhesion protein called LFA-1 that helps NK cells bind to red blood cells. They are now studying this process in more detail and trying to figure out what other molecules, including those produced by the malaria parasite, might be involved.
Chen and colleagues also hope to use these mice to study experimental malaria vaccines or drugs. And in another future study, they plan to inject the mice with human red blood cells from people with sickle cell anemia to investigate how the sickle-shaped red blood cells help people survive malaria infection.
The research was funded by the National Research Foundation Singapore through SMART's Interdisciplinary Research Group in Infectious Disease.

Phylogeny of PgiC gene in Shorea and its closely related genera (Dipterocarpaceae), the dominant trees in southeast Asian tropical rain forests
Koichi Kamiya, Ko Harada, Hidenori Tachida, Peter Shaw Ashton
dynamic biology
Dipterocarpaceae, trees that dominate tropical rain forests in Southeast Asia consist of many economically and ecologically important species. We determined partial sequences of the PgiC gene from species of Shorea, Hopea, Neobalanocarpus, and Parashorea to elucidate phylogenetic relationships among the species of these genera, which have been regarded as interrelated. The sequences generated a gene tree with better resolution than previous cpDNA trees. The PgiC tree is essentially consistent with cpDNA trees, except for the placement of Neobalanocarpus. The PgiC tree shows that Neobalanocarpus is nested within White Meranti of Shorea, whereas this genus forms a clade with Hopea in cpDNA trees. This conflict suggests that Neobalanocarpus is derived via hybridization between White Meranti of Shorea and Hopea. Species belonging to each of three timber groups (Yellow Meranti, Balau, and Red Meranti) within Shorea are monophyletic. Together they form a monophyletic clade distinct from White Meranti. Botanical sections within Red Meranti appear not to be monophyletic. An extensive number of shared polymorphisms among species and consequential lack of monophyly of intraspecific haplotypes are found in Red Meranti. Potential causes of this phenomenon, including persistence of ancestral polymorphisms and gene flow via interspecific hybridization, are discussed.

A lot of extremely talented young artists never reach an international career due to one simple reason – they do not have a supporter or anyone to help them establish a status they deserve, and therefore their talents don't get recognized.
For this reason, Nachtigall Artists Management founded a Musical Talents Fellowship; its mission is to support young, mainly Czech artists; provide them with financial means so that they can take parts in esteemed singing competitions, organize singing for front authorities of the opera world, while the best of the will be given an opportunity to perform within one of the concerts of the World Opera Stars series.
A great example of such support is the Agency's work for the young and very talented tenor Petr Nekoranec, who is currently a student of the Metropolitan Opera's Lindemann Program. Petr achieved several important accomplishments in his career, including the Absolute Winner of the famous Francesco Viñas International Singing Competition in Barcelona in January 2017. His story can be an example, inspiration and motivation for other young singers.
A general aid to talented artists is, naturally, quite demanding. Therefore, the Musical Talents Fellowship kindly asks for your support and contributions of the project. This project is under patronage of Ministry of Culture Czech republic.
