6 Cognitive Benefits of VR For Kids

Research indicates that kids who play VR games that focus on training the brain have better fine motor skills and balance. In fact, they tend to have better mobility overall.
VR gaming improves spatial attention in children and gives them the ability to quickly locate a target in a field of distractors, which has proven to be a good predictor of driving ability.
Playing VR games, which often resemble actual real-world experiences, helps children translate the skills they learned in these educational VR environments to the real world.
According to recent research, children that play shooting games have increased vision capabilities. Scientists have found that the fast-paced games increase adrenaline and dopamine in the brain which helps maintain and improve brain health.
VR gaming increases mental flexibility and improves a child’s ability to quickly switch seamlessly between tasks with conflicting demands.
VR games are a great way to reduce stress and depression in children. Immersing in a VR game can result in short and long-term mood boost that helps them relax and unwind, decreasing the levels of stress a person may be experiencing.

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”

VENICE ELECTRIC LIGHT PARADE

EVERY SUNDAY AT SUNSET @ The Venice Sign
Marcus Gladney created the Venice Electric Light Parade to bring together bike enthusiasts who love to light up their bikes and set out into the night along the beautiful Venice Beach boardwalk. Got a fancy two wheeler? Perhaps a chromed out, spoked up low rider with a banana seat and some Ape hangers? Maybe even a three wheeler trike with a sick ass sound system? A custom beach cruiser with enough LED’s to light up LAX? Whatever your jam, you will be in good company at the VELP!

“We are a group of Bicycle fanatics who ride every Sunday at Sunset in Venice Beach promoting Bicycle Safety. Come join us for the Electric Light Parade must have safety lights and wheel lights will be available for purchase. We meet every Sunday at Sunset, at Windward Plaza on the Boardwalk, down from the World famous Venice Sign.” The group travels up the Venice Bike Path to the Venice Pier, in Marina del Rey at Hinano’s Bar.

Venice Beach, which served as a US hippy hub of the 1960s, is now seeing dozens of locals cruising its boardwalk late at night with brightly glowing rides.
The bicycle enthusiasts say they fit right in with the hundreds of performers, artists and musicians that already call Venice Beach home.

This event promotes Bicycle Safety at Night. As much as 100 people show up each Sunday night for a chance to join the community for few hours of fun. Meet new people! Have some fun! Everyone welcome! All ages, all bikes.

Get Your Glow On at the Venice Electric Light Parade
Wheel Lights are NOT required to ride. But they are fun.

Programming takes on a strength-based approach engaging youth from our communities to explore their unique and collective lived experiences through various forms of recreation programming, visual arts sessions, social action activities, and educational field trips. Focus is placed on aiding teens in setting meaningful goals to accomplish individually and collaboratively through peer-to-peer leadership, art, special gatherings, and park engagement.
Our SPOT has been a safe haven for teens after school – providing a place to make friends, participate in fun activities and learn self-esteem. While Los Angeles County shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, so did many of the after school and youth serving organizations in Los Angeles County. However, Our SPOT stayed connected with teens through virtual programming available live on mobile devices and smartphones. During a challenging year, Our SPOT staff kept the energy high and engagement ever higher through this positive and transformative program aiming to serve youth.
Our SPOT is back in-person at locations throughout Los Angeles County!

After the invigorating ocean plunge, warm up in the heated Beach House pool. Gather with friends and family, enjoy a cup of hot chocolate, and grab a photo with our very own Pat the Polar Bear mascot.
Pool admission will be charged for Polar Bears and others entering the pool deck to visit, soak, swim in the heated pool, or take a hot shower.

The Annenberg Community Beach House at Santa Monica State Beach is a public facility located on 5 acres of oceanfront property. The Beach House story is one of evolution from private to public, starting with the development of the property at 415 Pacific Coast Highway as an opulent private estate in the 1920s.
Historic Past

The 5-acre oceanfront site upon which the Annenberg Community Beach House now sits was originally developed during the Gold Coast era of the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for actress Marion Davies. The Davies estate featured a mansion of 100-plus rooms and an ornate marble swimming pool. As with many Hearst projects, the vision of architect Julia Morgan provided a cohesive grace to the rambling estate. The Beach House was a hot spot on Santa Monica’s Gold Coast, with Hearst and Davies entertaining luminaries from the Hollywood set, such as Charlie Chaplin, Louis B. Mayer, Samuel Goldwyn, Greta Garbo, Clark Gable and other stars of the day.
In 1947, Joseph Drown purchased the property from Davies and converted into Oceanhouse, “America’s Most Beautiful Hotel,” along with the Sand & Sea Club, a limited-membership beach club. After the Oceanhouse venture ended, the main mansion was demolished in 1956. The popular Sand & Sea Club continued to operate.
Becoming the Beach House
The property was sold to the State of California in 1959, continuing to operate as the ever-popular Sand & Sea Club under a concession agreement. In the 1990s, the City of Santa Monica ran the facility, known as ‘415 PCH,’ until the 1994 Northridge Earthquake severely damaged all structures on site.
In recovering from the earthquake, the City embarked on an extensive public input process to re-envision the role of 415 PCH as an important public gathering space. Although a reuse plan was adopted in 1998, the project sat on hold while the City tried to secure funding. Wallis Annenberg of the Annenberg Foundation, held fond memories of visiting the Sand & Sea Club. When she learned of the City’s struggle to identify funding to realize its vision for a year-round public beach facility, she enthusiastically offered to help. The Annenberg Foundation provided a $27.5 million grant that paved the way for the site’s rehabilitation.
Staff from the Foundation and the City worked with Frederick Fisher Partners, Architects; Charles Pankow Builders; Historic Resources Group; Mia Lehrer & Associates; AdamsMorioka; and Roy McMakin to form the new Beach House. The project involved rehabilitation of the historic Marion Davies Guest House and pool, as well as construction of new recreation and event spaces. Three overarching themes guide the interpretation of the site with our year round cultural programming reflecting those themes.
Three Remarkable Individuals: William Randolph Hearst, Marion Davies, and Julia Morgan shaped the site’s historical legacy.
A Beach Like No Other: The Southern California beach occupies a unique place within the physical and cultural landscape of America.
A Public Place Henceforth: The site of the Beach House has seen an evolution from private ownership to public management and ownership leading to today’s universal access.
The Beach House is another step forward in the City of Santa Monica’s commitment to sustainability – it has been awarded a Gold LEED rating from the US Green Building Council.
