PEACOCK: NBC Universal FREE!
2027-10-04 | Online, Los Angeles
THE BEST OF NBC UNIVERSAL– Stream Free Online
Introducing Peacock TV. The New Streaming Service from NBC Universal is FREE as a bird. Now on Roku!

Peacock is the new premium streaming service run by NBCUniversal. It was released in mid-2020 under the ownership of Comcast. It’s home to exemplary and ongoing shows from NBCUniversal’s different transmission and cable networks, alongside films from Universal Pictures, Dreamworks Animation, and Focus Features.
The service will act as an all-inclusive resource for NBC Universal content and will flaunt a noteworthy library of NBC comedies and shows, live games, and new unique content.

NBC’s Peacock TV
has a wide range of price and streaming plans. Peacock has three levels of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Free level has a subset of the content of the upper two levels and focuses on its clients with advertising. The middle level, Peacock Premium, has advertising too yet gives the full library of content. In both advertisement upheld levels, ads are restricted to five minutes out of every hour. The upper level, Peacock Premium Plus, gives the full library without promotions or adverts. Peacock Free is accessible at no charge to all U.S. clients. Peacock Premium is accessible as a month to month membership and is also included in certain services from TV service providers including Xfinity and Cox.

Peacock TV is unusual and unique among its rivals in that it has a free plan. It additionally stands out among the harvest of new services in that it’ll have live games and news; a large portion of the most current real-time features are centered solidly around video-on-demand amusement along the lines of Netflix.
Up until now, Peacock has joined by 22 million accounts till the end of September. That incorporates individuals who enlisted with Peacock when it turned out to Comcast pay-TV clients in April, just as new individuals who’ve joined since its public release on July 15.

Thanks to the free plan, it doesn’t cost anything to give it a shot for yourself. On the off chance that you love NBC’s way of programming or you need more huge named movies to stream – and particularly if Netflix has spoiled you into despising ads- you may wind up paying for one more streaming service.

LEGO BUILDERS AT THE INGLEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY
2027-10-04 16:00 - 17:00 | Inglewood Public Library, 101 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood, CA, 90301, United States
EVERY MONDAY – INGLEWOOD PUBLIC LIBRARY
Design. Construct. Create. The best way to foster your child’s creativity is by providing them with the tools to build their own world and let their imagination soar. Join us at Inglewood Public Library – Children’s Services, every Monday from 4 pm – 5 pm. The Lego Bricks is specially designed for children to build, learn and create exciting play experiences. This will help develop your child’s imagination and love of building!

THE LEGO BRAND VALUES
Imagination
Free play is how children develop their imagination – the foundation for creativity. Curiosity asks WHY and imagines possible explanations. Playfulness asks WHAT IF and imagines how the ordinary becomes extraordinary fantasy or fiction. Dreaming is the first step toward doing it.

Creativity
Creativity is the ability to come up with ideas that are new, surprising, and valuable – and it’s an essential 21st-century skill. Systematic creativity is a particular form of creativity that combines logic and reasoning with playfulness and imagination.

Fun
Fun is being active together, the thrill of an adventure, the joyful enthusiasm of children, and the delight in surprising both yourself and others in what you can do or create. Fun is the happiness we experience when we are fully engaged in something that requires mastery when our abilities are in balance with the challenge at hand and we are making progress towards a goal.

Learning
Learning is about being curious, experimenting, and collaborating – expanding our thinking and doing, helping us develop new insights and new skills. We learn through play by putting things together, taking them apart, and putting them together in different ways. Building, un-building, rebuilding, thereby creating new things and developing new ways of thinking about ourselves, and the world.

Caring
Caring is about our desire to make a positive difference in the lives of children, our colleagues, our partners, and the world we live in. Doing that little extra, not because we have to – but because it feels right and because we care.

Quality
For us, quality means the challenge of continuous improvement to provide the best play material, the best for children and their development, and the best to our community and partners. From a reputation for manufacturing excellence to becoming trusted by all – we believe in quality that speaks for itself and earns us the recommendation of all.

5140 Lankershim Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91601
We’ve traveled the world in search of the best beers and were inspired by the vast variety of craft beers and breweries that make them. Brews Brothers are our take on serving an ever-changing selection of the best beers in LA’s growing craft beer market.

North Hollywood:
Our dynamic forty-two taps include combinations of American strong ales, Belgian strong ales, Barrel Aged beers, IPAs, light beers, wheat beers, unique one-offs, and various other styles.

We also have house-made Kombucha, three beers on nitro, and a couple of seasonal ciders. We interchange our taps often, replacing existing beers with ones of similar styles, so there is always something new to try!

Our food menu consists of artisan sandwiches, fresh salads, and several small bite options. All food is made with high-quality ingredients – no hormones, no chemicals, and no preservatives.
WHO ARE THE BREWS BROTHERS?

​Billie and Joey have been involved with the LA Craft Beer scene for over a decade – watching it grow from nearly nothing to the massive and ever-expanding market it is today.
Over the years the brothers have watched and helped numerous beer bars and restaurant owners successfully open and operate their establishments.
Billie and Joey have brewed over 240 batches of beer along with a few collaborations with some of the more established breweries in California. They intend to continue to collaborate with more breweries in the future.
During their many visits to Belgium, along with numerous trips around the country, they previewed many beer shops and were impressed with the large variety of beer selections offered. They knew they had the experience and passion for creating something similar at home.
Billie and Joey now bring this love, knowledge, and expertise to bring you “BREWS BROTHERS”
