- U.N. report says 282 million people faced acute hunger in 2023, with the worst famine in Gaza
Aaron Donaldson, a lecturer in the communications department and secretary of the faculty union, said students who tried to leave campus to get groceries complained of confrontations with police. He had 50 outlines to grade, but could not go get them for fear of arrest. Students planned a peaceful sit-in in the president’s office to protest Israel’s actions in Gaza, said a 23-year-old student from San Jose who asked to be known only as “Mango” because he feared retaliation. Transgender indigenous students started holding a prayer, he said, and then police showed up and started hitting.
Litman: Donald Trump was just fined for contempt of court. Could he go to jail next time?
A bomb explosion resulted in the loss of life for seven police officers and at least four civilians. The Huntington tapped executive chef Jeff Thurston and pastry chef Luis Perez from Bon Appétit Management Co. to update the afternoon tea menu. Though the Tea Room offered a short-lived buffet-style service prior to Bon Appétit Management Co. taking the culinary reigns in 2016, Thurston and Perez adhered to a more traditional full-service afternoon tea experience for the latest iteration. Many faculty members, barred from campus, massed on the street outside, saying they wanted to bear witness to what was happening to their students. By Monday afternoon, the tree-lined campus with glimmering views of Humboldt Bay had the feel of a nearly deserted, surreal summer camp. In a gesture of good faith, the occupiers moved out of Siemens Hall on Sunday, clearing the building and moving their occupation to outdoor space.
The U.N.’s World Food Program, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, keeps focus on reaching zero global hunger
The crash happened shortly before noon along Exposition Boulevard, near the USC campus and Natural History Museum, according to the LA Fire Department. LOS ANGELES (AP) — At least 55 people were hurt, two seriously, when a Metro light rail train and a University of Southern California shuttle bus collided Tuesday along a busy thoroughfare in downtown Los Angeles, officials said. Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them. “Publishers want celebrity stardust and, let’s face it, most writers don’t have that,” Claiborne Smith, editor in chief of Kirkus Reviews, told Time in 2018, when Parker started her first SJP imprint — at the invitation of Stern, then at Random House. One such star-studded event at the NeueHouse Hollywood in March gathered 200 culture lovers, most of them people of color, to celebrate the first graduating class of Hillman Grad Books. One “historic precedent” Zando hopes to change is the institutional racism that has plagued American publishing from its start.

Going forward, Toledo hoped activists could develop guidelines before they occupied again. There had been some conflicts among activists over strategy and the value of graffiti, Toledo said. But in the course of the occupation, they had tried to come to a consensus and develop some rules. As dusk fell, some activists put on goggles and helmets, carried makeshift shields, jangled tambourines and beat drums as they prepared for another standoff with law enforcement.

If you’re looking for a tense, claustrophobic horror to keep you captivated, look no further than House of Hunger. Marion Shaw has been raised in the slums, where want and deprivation are all she knows. Despite longing to leave the city and its miseries, she has no real hope of escape until the day she spots a strange advertisement in the newspaper, seeking a ‘bloodmaid’.

She previously worked for the Daily Pilot, the Daily Breeze and the Long Beach Press-Telegram. The United Nations’ World Food Program has been awarded the 2020 Nobel Peace Prize for its efforts to combat hunger across the globe. The World Food Program, which began in the early 1960s and serves more than 80 countries, relies mainly on international government contributions. Of about $8 billion in funds last year, $3.4 billion came from the U.S. Yet the organization’s officials estimate hundreds of millions of people are starving worldwide, which makes their goal to reach zero world hunger by 2030 seem extraordinarily ambitious.

She grew up in one of America’s most haunted cities, Savannah, Georgia, which instilled in her a life-long love of ghost stories. Get the latest news, events and more from the Los Angeles Times Book Club, and help us get L.A. While the Tea Room underwent incremental remodeling since the 1930s, a comprehensive revamp hadn’t ever taken place. Hundreds of students living on campus were told they could leave their dorms only if they had a valid reason or could be cited for trespassing. Encampments and protests took place at UC Berkeley and Cal Poly Humboldt, and plans were shaping up for more pro-Palestinian protests at California colleges and universities. But critics accuse Jackson of being out of sync with campus culture and failing to appreciate the university’s long history of environmental and social justice activism.
At USC, where Los Angeles police arrested 93 people on trespassing charges last week as they cleared an encampment at the center of campus, a reestablished camp site was mostly quiet on Monday. At Occidental College, which has fewer than 2,000 students enrolled, about 60 students set up an encampment around 4 a.m. Monday, working in the darkness to avoid potential issues with campus security, said co-organizer Matthew Vickers, a junior studying diplomacy and world affairs.
Still, the occupation involved far more disruption than the one in 2015. Supporters of the movement acknowledge that they have developed bolder tactics and become more willing to eschew rules and leaders in the last decade with the coalescing of movements such as Black Lives Matter and the Black Bloc. At the heart of the showdown is a dispute that stretches beyond the Middle East to the question of how central activism is to the university’s mission. “I refuse to accept the label of criminal for standing up for an ethical reason.” he wrote in a statement before his arrest. Yet those on campus understand why it has become such a flashpoint. Pro-Palestinian encampments have sprung up on the campuses of UC Irvine, UC Riverside, Occidental College, Sacramento State and San Francisco State, among others.
An Orange County native, Fry started her career as an intern at the Orange County Register. Pro-Palestinian protests grew Thursday at California colleges and universities, including a new encampment at UCLA that drew a crowd of counterprotesters. But some faculty and students reject that narrative, accusing administrators and authorities of escalating a peaceful situation by bringing in riot police the first evening of the occupation.
For Rick Toledo, 32, a student organizer on campus who did not occupy the building but supported the movement, the most pressing concern Tuesday morning was raising $10,000 per person for bail. Citing safety concerns, officials announced a closure of the campus, first through last Wednesday, then Sunday, and eventually for the rest of the semester. One of the activists arrested, assistant professor Rouhollah Aghasaleh, vowed to reject any bond and embark on a hunger strike until he and all his students were released.
