Charles Lee in Los Angeles County Constructed between 1947-48 and opened as the Puente Theatre it was a rare and significant example of Lee’s postwar theater designs designed and built during the final years of his career and showcasing his continued experimentation with new forms and technology to respond to changing needs Utilizing wood lamella construction for its roof and featuring monumentally scaled freestanding signage that rose twice the height of the theater building Lee’s design for the Star Theatre was directly influenced by two important postwar-era trends: lingering wartime restrictions on building materials and the growing prominence of the automobile The Star Theatre’s programming changed with the times screening adult films in the late 1970s and ’80s and switching to first-run family films with Spanish subtitles in the early 2000s It most recently operated as a first-run cinema prior to closing in 2007 Lee designed a total of five lamella roof theaters in California during the late 1940s two each in Los Angeles and San Diego Counties and one in Tulare County with one remaining in both San Diego and Tulare counties introduced to the United States in 1925 and used primarily for industrial structures and building types such as auto showrooms and grocery markets is comprised of diamond-shaped bracing formed of short lengths of lumber that can span great distances without view-obstructing columns or trusses Lee embraced another benefit afforded by lamella construction as it required no steel and wood was an unrestricted material While the lower curved walls of the auditorium’s interior are plastered the distinctive diamond-shaped bracing of the lamella roof is left exposed to form the ceiling The Star Theatre was unique among Lee’s five lamella roof theaters as the only one in which the half-cylinder shape of the roof also forms the design of the façade The other four were designed with rectangular facades that concealed the shape of the auditorium from the street only the Star Theatre conveys its iconic form from the exterior The distinctive façade retains its original aluminum-framed windows and entry doors Another unusual feature of the Star Theatre was the monumentally scaled signage situated directly adjacent to the front right corner of the theater While Lee was a major innovator of integrated signage for his theater designs several examples of which reached lofty heights aimed at attracting patrons traveling in their automobiles the signage he designed for the Star Theatre is unique among theater buildings for its size and scale as a freestanding sign and its dual function as a giant flagpole rising twice the height of the theater building The sign structure is comprised of five alternating pairs of slim metal poles evenly braced by horizontal members which lends a striking grid-like appearance neon-illuminated star is perched atop the structure next to a flagpole rising above the outermost pole The Star Theatre is profiled in the 1994 S.

When Frenchman Stephane Houdet took on Spain’s Martin De La Puente in the men’s wheelchair tennis singles quarter-finals on Wednesday Building up to the second match on Court Philippe-Chatrier ready to erupt in support of their home favourite who is seeded three in the Paralympic event who looked like he may have wrestled control of the match when he won the second set Everything came to a head when Houdet restored parity at one set each Stephane” greeted each break in play before and after While he wasn’t surprised at the noise level De La Puente admitted it made life difficult “I felt pressure; the crowd was tough to deal with but it is the best place I could be on earth,” he said “It was tough to lose the second set but we knew it was 1-1 we kept pushing and I’m so happy with the win I was like ‘woah they are screaming a lot’ But it also felt amazing to play in front of so many people “It is the best atmosphere of my career; I’m so happy to be representing Spain and my people Hopefully the people are still there next time.”  Victory for De La Puente means he is the first Spanish player to reach the semi finals at the Paralympic Games; just rewards for his hard work he remembers being in Tokyo when no crowds were allowed due to COVID restrictions “You can imagine it but you never realise until you are there they are loud today!’ It is part of the games of the emotions if I had the choice of nobody or full crowd He is proud to represent his country and that result at Roland Garros where Spanish victory has more or less been an annual event over the last 20 years “It feels amazing,” he said with a huge smile on his face “I still don’t believe I’m in the semi-finals; playing on Philippe (the court) was incredible “We’ve worked so much for this with my team I can’t comprehend it; I’m still with my adrenaline with my nerves on top I am happy with the day and how it went.”  Although he is still waiting for his first French Open at Roland Garros the history of the place looms large for him and De La Puente was honoured to play on such an iconic court “I felt lucky to play here; there is so much history for Spanish players,” he said I’m happy; I’m a happy kid who has made the semis I’m enjoying my time and the work we’ve done; I started with my coach at Rio 2016 now we are in Paris we are working hard to be on top and reach top level of wheelchair tennis but De La Puente will want to look back on it as part of a bigger picture by the end of the Games and he may just get the crowd onside next time Follow wheelchair tennis schedule LA County Library’s annual Lunch at the Library program returns nutritious meals to kids and teens 18 and under during the summer months LA County Library has helped keep children nourished while away from school ensuring they return in the fall energized and ready to learn There are no restrictions on family income Free meals are for kids and teens only and must be eaten at the Library “This marks the tenth consecutive year we have offered free meals through our Lunch at the Library program,” said LA County Library Director “We know families depend on us to provide nutritious food for their children when they are away from school and we are excited to once again provide this essential service to our neighbors.” twenty libraries will be offering lunch on a first come either Monday – Friday or Tuesday – Friday * Lunch will not be available on Wednesday July 4 as all LA County Library Locations are closed for Juneteenth and Independence Day holidays ** La Puente Library’s Lunch at the Library service will end on Friday *** Norwalk Library will not offer lunch on Tuesday Lunch at the Library is a partnership with LA County Department of Parks & Recreation This institution is an equal opportunity provider The Summer Food Service Program is a program of the U administered in California by the California Department of Education Lunch at the Library is a project of the California State Library supported with funds from the State of California County of Los Angeles Many of our libraries offer enhanced resources, computers, and online services to support your homework needs.

This way, the reader can naturally focus on the general concepts before other implications are analyzed. A table of selected references for each section can be found at the end of the paper (Table 1) considering the distribution of tasks between the human and the system regarding information acquisition when the system is operating without significant human intervention the user may have a low level of observability of the system behavior and low predictability of the state of the system The system might have a low level of transparency One of the most common ways of understanding transparency in human-robot interaction in shared autonomy framework is as observability and predictability of the system behavior: the understanding of what the system is doing, why, and what it will do next (Endsley, 2017) What kind of information should be communicated in order to have a good level of transparency? The robot's state and capabilities must be communicated transparently to the human operator: what the robot is doing and why, what it is going to do next, when and why the robot fails when performing specific actions, and how to correct errors are essential aspects to be considered. In Kruijff et al. (2014) and Hellström and Bensch (2018) the authors go even further: their research explores but also communication patterns—how to communicate—for improving user understanding in a given situation Autonomy increases uncertainty and unpredictability about the system's state, and some authors understand transparency in the sense of predictability: “Transparency is essentially the opposite of unpredictability” (Miller, 2014) and “Transparency is the possibility to anticipate imminent actions by the autonomous system based on previous experience and current interaction” (Iden, 2017) Transparency about the robot's state information may be referred to as robot-to-human transparency (Lyons, 2013). One of the principles of user-centered design is to keep the user aware of the state of the system (Endsley, 2012; Villani et al., 2018) Robot-to-human transparency enables user-centered design This mini-review is focused on this type of transparency In Lyons (2013) and Lyons and Havig (2014) transparency is defined as a “method to establish shared intent and shared awareness between a human and a machine.” Since the main method to establish shared situation awareness and shared intent is the interface design the next section is dedicated to the study of transparency as a property of the interface The Human-Automation System Oversight (HASO) model (Endsley, 2017) summarizes the main aspects, and its relationships, of Human-Automation Interaction (HAI). The place of transparency in this model is as a property of the interface. This model uses the three level situation awareness model (Endsley, 1995) In Chen et al. (2014) Transparency is defined as an attribute of the human-robot interface “the descriptive quality of an interface about its abilities to afford an operator's comprehension about an intelligent agent's intent, performance, plans, and reasoning process.” The Situation Awareness Transparency (SAT) model (Chen et al., 2014), is based on Endsley (1995) and proposes three levels of Transparency: Transparency to support perception of the current state Transparency to support comprehension of the reasoning behind the robot's behavior and limitations predictions and probabilities of failure/success based on the history of performance Errors in the perception because the information was not clearly provided (lack of level 1 transparency) are the cause of a great amount of the situation awareness problems, which are the cause of failures due to human errors (Jones and Endsley, 1996; Murphy, 2014) The design of more transparent interfaces might improve situation awareness Transparency can be achieved by means of human-like natural language explanations. In Kim and Hinds (2006) the definition given for transparency is “Transparency is the robot offering explanations of its actions.” Mueller sees explanation as one of the main characteristics of transparency (Mueller, 2016; Wortham et al., 2016) According to the report about explainable artificial intelligence by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA, 2016) to generate answers to the user's questions: • Why did the system do that and not something else • When can the user trust the system • How can the user correct an error Verbalization has been used to convert sensor data into natural language, to describe a route (Perera et al., 2016; Rosenthal et al., 2016) when the user requests information in a dialog, to explain a policy (Hayes and Shah, 2017), or in Zhu et al. (2017) to describe what a humanoid is doing in the kitchen The system is transparent if the robot follows exactly the human movement, without applying forces to the human. Transparency might be improved by human motion prediction (Jarrasse et al., 2008) and training (van Dijk et al., 2013). Trust calibration is needed to avoid the risk of overtrust in the capabilities of the exoskeletons (Borenstein et al., 2018) When using brain computer interfaces (BCIs) (Bi et al., 2013; Rupp et al., 2014; Arrichiello et al., 2017; Burget et al., 2017) as the input device to teleoperate a robotic manipulator, the difficulty in decoding neural activity introduces delays, noises, etc., and specific techniques to improve transparency are required, such as the ones proposed in Muelling et al. (2017) Ethics and Standards are interconnected, and both fit into the broader framework of Responsible Research and Innovation. There is an IEEE Global Initiative for Ethically Aligned Design for Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems, with a work group dedicated to Transparency (Bryson and Winfield, 2017; Grinbaum et al., 2017) Transparency is defined as “the property which makes possible to discover how and why the system made a particular decision acted the way it did.” The standard describes levels of transparency for autonomous systems for different stakeholders: users European Union's new General Data Protection Regulation and the Recommendations to the Commission on Civil Law Rules on Robotics are examples of the increasing importance of ethically aligned designs. The first one creates the right to receive explanations (Goodman and Flaxman, 2016), and the second one recommends maximum transparency, predictability, and traceability (Boden et al., 2017; European Parlament, 2017) Marvin Minsky used the term “suitcase word” (Minsky, 2006) to refer to words with several meanings packed into them. Transparency is a kind of suitcase-like word, so we propose a categorization of the different meanings of transparency in shared autonomy identified in the state of the art. This categorization can be found in Table 1 Considering the challenges of transparency several areas might be promising for future developments The challenges of transparency in shared autonomy are different for high levels of autonomy and for low levels of autonomy the operator is doing almost everything directly so the uncertainty and predictability are low but there is a problem because the human cognitive workload to be aware of everything might become too high • The use of intermediate levels of autonomy, so that the user might delegate some tasks (Miller, 2014). Trust is necessary for delegation, without trust, the user is not going to delegate, no matter how capable the robot is (Kruijff et al., 2014). Transparency helps build trust (Ososky et al., 2014) • Improve the interfaces design to allow users to manage the information available to obtain a high level of understanding of what is going on If a robot requests human support in a difficult situation the human actions could be stored and executed the next time the robot faces the same situation • The use of intermediate levels of autonomy • Increase of transparency of the system's intent and reasoning including information beyond the three levels SAT model • Increase robot-of-human transparency to recognize human attention reduction • Training to avoid the out-of-the-loop performance problem The current research about transparency in the shared autonomy framework has been reviewed to provide a general and complete overview The next ways of understanding transparency in human-robot interaction in the shared autonomy framework have been identified in the state of the art: • Transparency as the observability of the system behavior and as the opposite of unpredictability of the state of the system The human understanding of what the system is doing • Transparency as a method to achieve shared situation awareness and shared intent between the human and the system The main methods to improve shared situation awareness are interface design and training • Robot-to-human transparency (understanding of system behavior) vs robot-of-human transparency (understanding of human behavior) • Transparency as a property of the human-robot interface and the transparency situation awareness model Transparent interfaces can be achieved through natural language explanations • Mechanical transparency used in haptics • Transparency as traceability and verification The benefits of transparency are multiple: transparency improves system performance and might reduce human errors and transparent design principles are aligned with user-centered design VA and PdP contributed conception and design of the study VA and PdP

Choice pronouncements include ‘Capitalism tells us that there are certain materialistic things we need in order to be happy the further we are from happiness.’ Part of The White Pube’s USP is not being experts favouring subjective responses over research-based expertise what might elsewhere pass a marker of authenticity comes across as muddled dogmatic and – in their choices of art historical references – unwittingly conservative where there is a lot of telling and hardly any showing Bashing the reader over the head with Anarchism 101 also highlights the elephant in the room There’s nothing wrong with wanting to reach the widest audience but publishing with an offshoot of commercial behemoth Penguin Random House does little for the book’s anarchist credentials Inevitably this undermines the hundreds of pages of proselytising about how detrimental it is for artists to chase mainstream recognition showing just how far The White Pube are from a nice lady called Sheila and her grassroots Poor Artists by Gabrielle de la Puente and Zarina Muhammad.

Whether it’s blasting Etta James, War and Malo while cruising the city or attending oldies celebrations like Night of the Blaxican paying tribute to the sounds and fashions of the past lives on Thump Records’ survival is a testament to these thriving communities Just as millennials brought back the vinyl record, Gen Z has revitalized interest in the CD iridescent appearance or the intimate liner notes tucked into every jewel case the compact disc maintains a certain appeal among young music buyers and collectors Música Mexicana has been pushed into the mainstream over the last five years by Gen Z and millennial Latino audiences Here’s a guide on the genre’s essential instruments where to find the best música Mexicana-themed parties where to shop for the perfect vaquero outfit and more has spent the past month saving up for a CD player He says listening to oldies reminds him of spending time with his dad and that his favorite Thump Records mixtape is “Old School Vol I love looking at all covers of the different records and CDs,” said Mora I just like the different type of music that used to be around back then.” He stands in front of the Thump truck for a solid 15 minutes going over each CD that interests him and the varying tracklists. He’s always on the lookout for anything that has singer Debbie Deb of “When I Hear Music” ’80s fame Henry Ramos dances outside the Thump Records Truck at a pop-up concert event at La Puente Park. (Jill Connelly / For De Los) Although streaming remains the most popular way to consume music finds that people will always come up with good excuses to buy a CD — especially when it’s something they haven’t seen in years I need a new one,’ or ‘My cousins stole my CD.’ There’s always somebody who wants something,” said Hernandez Working in almost every part of the company, from photography to DJing and sales, Hernandez shares fond memories of Christmas parties with Tierra and shooting covers for Cypress Hill. But over the many years he has dedicated to Thump, he says it’s about more than just the music; it’s about satisfying the community. Released Jan. 5, the record pays homage to the island’s rich rhythms like plena and salsa, and delves into it’s seldom taught history. “Thump Records owns a lot of the rights to the different artists, albums and songs,” said Hernandez, adding that merchandise, such as T-shirts, also is very popular. “We try to cater to everyone ... whether they’re young little kids with families or older people who are taken back to a different time. It makes me feel like we are doing something good.” Wrapped in a Mexican flag, rapper Ricky Did Tha, who works with Thump, runs around the truck posting upcoming events for the label’s brewery venture, Oldies Beer. Frequenting different record fairs and tribute shows with the label, he says the reason Thump is still around is because of its dedication to the “oldies lifestyle.” “When you buy one of these and you really listen to it, you feel it more than just the music. You feel the energy. It’s how we can all come together. It reminds people that we have different pasts, but we are united,” the rapper said. “That’s why everyone says, ‘We don’t dance. We boogie.”’ Cerys Davies is a reporting fellow at the Los Angeles Times She first joined The Times as an intern in the De Los section profiled local artists and explored L.A.’s role in música Mexicana She was born and raised in Monterey Park and graduated from Loyola Marymount University Davies focuses on bringing her interests in music Subscribe for unlimited accessSite Map The Business of FashionAgenda-setting intelligence analysis and advice for the global fashion community access one complimentary BoF Professional article of your choice Receive news, offers and invites from BoFOur newsletters may include 3rd-party advertising, by subscribing you agree to the Terms and Conditions & Privacy Policy The head of LVMH’s business unit that operates the Sephora beauty chain and Parisian department stores is set to leave the luxury group according to people familiar with the matter who oversees the selective retailing division of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE It’s unclear why the UK-born executive is leaving joined LVMH in 2011 as chief executive officer of Sephora He became a member of the executive committee of LVMH that same year His business division also includes Parisian department stores Le Bon Marché and La Samaritaine the luxury travel retailer with a significant exposure to Asia Sephora’s booming sales helped the division to outperform LVMH’s other units last year and in the first half of this year While selective retailing has gained ground LVMH’s fashion and leather goods unit remains the company’s biggest and most profitable business LVMH and de Lapuente didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment LVMH’s Sephora Cuts Around 10% of Staff in China as Woes Deepen The beauty retailer is laying off hundreds of staff in China as it seeks to revitalise its struggling operations in the world’s second-largest economy while also seeing departures among senior executives Disclosure: LVMH is part of a group of investors who hold a minority interest in The Business of Fashion All investors have signed shareholders’ documentation guaranteeing BoF’s complete editorial independence For more information read our Terms & Conditions In this riveting conversation from BoF CROSSROADS 2025 Mexican designer Carla Fernández and Tunisian entrepreneur Kenza Fourati discuss the power of craft-based fashion and how to collaborate ethically with artisans and indigenous communities The Hollywood dealmaker’s new firm is buying the powerful international art fair brand Emanuel’s company and the future of the art business With a new store concept and marketing campaign the designer is looking to widen his brand’s appeal beyond the fashion elite 4G — resellers who run an infamous New York showroom where rappers and athletes pay stratospheric prices to load up on Chrome Hearts and ‘fucking chill’ — have built a business that has doubled sales revenue each year since 2020 The ATP Rio Open has a Spanish champion in the Elite Wheelchair Tennis tournament Martín de la Puente was crowned after defeating the Argentine Gustavo Fernández in a tight final with a score of  7-5  3-6 13-11 the number 3 in the rankings adds his first title of the season and with the possibility of adding another one this Saturday in the doubles category alongside Dani Caverzaschi This news is an automatic translation.
