The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health is urging the film and TV industry to consider pausing production for a few weeks during the ongoing surge in coronavirus cases throughout the county. "Although music, TV and film productions are allowed to operate," the health department said, "we ask you to strongly consider pausing work for a few weeks during this catastrophic surge in Covid cases. Identify and delay higher risk activities, and focus on lower-risk work for now, if at all possible."
L.A. Public Health's latest message, excerpts of which were posted today on FilmLA's website, was sent to the department's industry contacts December 24. It comes as the county Monday reported 73 new deaths and 13,661 new cases of Covid-19, with an estimated additional 432 deaths that reflect delayed reporting due to outages and the holiday weekend. On Sunday, L.A. Public Health reported 13,580 new positive cases and 44 new deaths.

On November 1, the average number of new cases in L.A. County was about 1,200; that number now "consistently exceeds 13,000 cases a day with some days exceeding 15,000 cases," L.A. Public Health said Monday, when it reported 6,914 people with Covid-19 currently hospitalized and 20% of these people in the ICU.
The heath department's message to FilmLA, the county's film permit office, also reminded filmmakers that "travel for production purposes is currently not advised." Although the state allows travel for productions, the department noted that travel increases the risk of transmission of the virus "by making it more likely that people will end up together in vehicles or indoors in less-controlled settings."
"Hospitals are full virtually everywhere," L.A. Health noted, and encouraged filmmakers to "keep cast and crew close to home." Further elaborating on travel and quarantine requirements, the department noted that the County's Blanket Health Officer Order on Quarantine was recently updated to include a shorter 10-day quarantine option. Appendix J – the health standards applicable to local film productions – will be updated soon to reflect this." Even with these adjustment, however, officials caution that "the virus can still potentially incubate for up to 14 days, therefore heightened precautions and health monitoring are important."
With two coronavirus vaccines approved for use and thousands of frontline healthcare workers already receiving their first doses, L.A. County Health reassured filmmakers that "there is a light at the end of the tunnel." A new Covid-19 Vaccine Information Page was recently added to the county's website, with weekly updates, a Myth-Busters Guide to vaccine safety and a dedicated mailing list and data dashboard to monitor vaccine distribution.
County health officials on several prior occasions have thanked the film industry for its efforts to control the Covid-19 surge. Helpful practices, according to LADPH, have included "moving more work outdoors, delaying higher-risk work, and putting some productions completely on pause." And now more than ever, the department said, it is essential that on-set Covid-19 Compliance Officers remind on-set personnel to "keep up the physical distancing" and to "move people further apart" when they drift together."
"You are our heroes!" the department's update said of industry compliance officers.
To date, there have been 719,833 confirmed Covid-19 cases in Los Angeles County and 9,482 deaths.

Ricardo Bentín Mujica (Lima, 29 de diciembre de 1899-Lima, 18 de junio de 1979) fue un ingeniero y empresario peruano.

Biografía
Hijo del minero y político Ricardo Bentín Sánchez y de Rosa Mujica Carassa.

Cursó sus estudios escolares en el Colegio Sagrados Corazones Recoleta (1906-1916). Luego, ingresó a la Escuela de Ingenieros del Perú y se graduó de ingeniero de minas en 1922.

Laboró en los asientos mineros de su padre. Después, fundó dos importantes empresas: la sociedad agrícola comercial Unión y la compañía de seguros y reaseguros El Pacífico.

Con un grupo de empresarios peruanos se propuso nacionalizar la Cervecería Backus & Johnston Brewery, de capitales británicos, objetivo que logró en 1954, trasladando la oficina principal de Londres a Lima y rebautizando a la compañía como Cervecería Backus y Johnston S. A., a la que dio un gran impulso. Presidió el directorio de esta empresa durante 23 años, desde 1956 hasta su fallecimiento en 1979.

Fue también un gran aficionado a la práctica del deporte y promotor de sus valores intrínsecos. En 1954 inició la búsqueda de un lugar que sirviera de esparcimiento y para la práctica del deporte de sus trabajadores. Otra meta suya fue la formación de un gran equipo de fútbol que representara a su empresa. El primer objetivo lo logró con la adquisición de un terreno en el barrio de la Florida (hoy urbanización), en el distrito del Rímac. El segundo empezó a tomar cuerpo cuando la empresa Backus y Johnston creó un equipo de fútbol donde jugaban los trabajadores ingleses de la cervecería. Luego, negoció con los directivos del Sporting Tabaco, un tradicional equipo rimense al borde de la bancarrota. El 13 de diciembre de 1955 se aprobó por mayoría la fusión, surgiendo el Club Sporting Cristal Backus, así llamado porque Cristal era el nombre del producto estrella de la cervecería.

También integró el directorio de muchas otras empresas, como el BCRP, el Banco Continental, entre otras.

Estuvo casado con la señora Esther Grande de Bentín, con la que tuvo dos hijos: Catalina (que se casó con Jaime Noriega Zegarra, que fue presidente del Sporting Cristal entre 1980 y 1986) y Ricardo (fallecido en 1994).

The face of hapa.
WHO BETTER to be our Hybrid issue cover centaur-the mythical half-man, half horse-than writer, filmmaker, musician, professor and all-around thought-provoker Kip Fulbeck. Along with his Cantonese, English, Irish and Welsh background, Fulbeck represents what we were aiming for with our Hybrid issue: A multidisciplinary approach to life. While working on "The Hapa Project," Fulbeck traveled across America and took headshots of some 1,200 people-116 of which ended up in Part Asian, 100% Hapa (Chronicle Books). In between shots at our magical photo shoot, we sat down with Fulbeck to ask him about his work and what it's like to have the mind of a human and the body of a stallion-and other pressing questions.
What did you learn while doing "The Hapa Project"?
Doing the hapa book, I saw people all over the country that supposedly had this similarity because we're all quote-unquote multiracial...but there's nothing in common really. The [book] shoots would be electric in the beginning: four people would show up and they'd be like Oh my god, what are you? And I'm this too.' But if you put us on an island, we'd kill each other because there's no commonality except that we live in a country that insists on using race to define you and we've all had to fight against that. That's the only thing that I think we really share. After that it's just as diverse as any group of people. Race is a social construct that our country happens to get really, really into. I would love not to have had to make that book but we live in a country that's overly focused on it. That's why, in the hapa book, I let them pick their own way to describe themselves. Those are their categories because it's a space to say whatever we wanted.
In what ways do you see the perception of hapas changing in American culture, or not changing?
One thing that is changing is that people are finally starting to get a grip that there are actually millions and millions of people who are multiethnic-or I should say multiracial because they believe race is a real thing. Although a couple 20,000 people are sophisticated, have read their histories and dealt with their identities-the vast majority of the world has never even thought of this. Sometimes people ask me: 'You're still doing that subject?' But I haven't even touched the tip of it.
How do you respond when someone asks you what your race is?
I don't really have a problem. I'm 42 now, so I'm not at this angry stage of my life where I'm ready, walking around armed all the time. As long as the question is done with respect and they're willing to answer the question themselves-if those two conditions are met, I'm totally fine having that conversation. It's when someone comes up and they've got the dreamcatcher hanging in the car and they've got the Native American headdress and they go 'Are you part Native?' and I tell them no, and they're like Oh.' And I say, 'Well what are you?' and they say, 'Well I'm just white' and walk off. I have a problem with that because they don't want to share.
Do you think there's a fetishlzation of hapas?
Of course and it's not just by mainstream; it's within the API community too. Asian men are coming into vogue now-with Yul on Survivor people are suddenly like 'Asian men are kinda sexy;' all of a sudden they put a few in the 50 Most Beautiful People list. We're just the soup du jour-that's someone's issue and I don't care about that. -Melanie Colburn
