The First Los Angeles Aqueduct: With the rapid population growth during the year of 1902, Los Angeles had a larger demand of water than what they could provide and searching for a way to bring water was a must. William Mulholland, superintendent of the Los Angeles City Water Company, began to search for a new supply. He started looking on nearby local areas but it generated to nothing. In his search for a new source, he began by surveying all the rivers and groundwater basins south of the city. He

Meeting For this activity, I attended a Health Care City Council Meeting hosted by the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, on September 5, 2014, located on 350 S. Bixel St., Los Angeles, CA 90017.

For this assignment I choose to attend a Los Angeles Clippers game even though I am a big Lakers fan; mainly because it better fit into my budget and the appeal of watching this young high flying team made it seem like it was going to be a good night. Going into the game it was being dubbed as the “battle of the double-doubles” as the Minnesota Timberwolves led by Kevin Love and his 28 straight double doubles took on Blake Griffin and his 26 straight double doubles. I had been to Staples Center

Human behavior is often affected by nature, as displayed in “Los Angeles Notebook” by Joan Didion. The author creates a foreboding atmosphere by describing the power of the blustery, dry and warm Santa Ana winds of Los Angeles (UCLA Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences). Through the use of figurative language, diction, and imagery, Didion argues that winds trigger unusual behavior in people. Through the use of figurative language, Didion conveys the ominousness of the Santa Ana winds. She explains

The Los Angeles Lakers are about to embark on a four-game road trip, which will become the baptism of fire for Lonzo Ball and his fellow rookies about life on the road. First on the Lakers' list will be Kyrie Irving and the Boston Celtics whom they will face on November 8, while the road game against the Phoenix Suns on November 13 will cap off the four-game road trip. However, the said road trip will be first of many for the franchise and the first in the careers of Ball, Kyle Kuzma, and Josh Hart

The beating of Rodney King from the Los Angeles Police Department on March 3, 1991 and the Los Angeles riots resulting from the verdict of the police officers on April 29 through May 5, 1992 are events that will never be forgotten. They both evolve around one incident, but there are two sides of ethical deviance: the LAPD and the citizens involved in the L.A. riots. The incident on March 3, 1991 is an event, which the public across the nation has never witnessed. If it weren’t for the random videotaping

After Sunday afternoon's 104-91 loss at home to the Utah Jazz, you can add another thing to that list: "death, taxes, and the Los Angeles Clippers not making it to the Western Conference Finals. For the sixth straight year, the Clippers -- with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin (albeit not present after yet another weird injury), and DeAndre Jordan -- have been bounced before the West Finals. For the third time in five years and the second straight year under head coach and President of Basketball Operations

Los Angeles California My Favorite Place To Visit Los Angeles is one of the most exciting cities in the United States. According to the Los Angeles post record tourist numbers in 2012, the city attracts 41.4 million visitors per year. Even though the traffic is terrible, Los Angeles is still one of my favorite places because of the many restaurants to dine in, and the many wonderful attractions. Traffic in Los Angeles is implausible. The streets are congested from morning to night and everyone seems

The Los Angeles Lakers reached a 4 year deal with Timofey Mozgov worth 64 million dollars just hours after the beginning of the NBA Free Agency. To be honest, most of us were shocked with the deal and Twitter without a doubt proved the basketball world's shock. Mozgov however, maybe will live up to such a large deal and here are the reasons. A year ago, Mozgov was one of the Cavaliers leading scorers and a key figure in the NBA Finals. His presence and dominant rebounding forced Steve Kerr to implement
