Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves in the world. It was once so rich that Concorde used to fly from Caracas to Paris. But in the last three years its economy has collapsed. Hunger has gripped the nation for years. Now, it’s killing people and animals that are dying of starvation. The Venezuelan government knows, but won’t admit it!!! Four in five Venezuelans live in poverty. People queue for hours to buy food. Much of the time they go without. People are also dying from a lack of medicines. Inflation is at 82,766% and there are warnings it could exceed one million per cent by the end of this year. Venezuelans are trying to get out. The UN says 2.3 million people have fled the country - 7% of the population.

On Location: L.A. film shoots jumped 20% last week...

On-location shoots in the Los Angeles area climbed 20% last week, led by a continued upswing in commercial and feature film activity.

Commercial shoots on streets and non certified soundstages in the city and unincorporated areas of the county generated 135 production days last week, up 68% over the same period a year ago, according to data from FilmL.A. Inc., the nonprofit group that handles film permits. It marked the fourth consecutive week of gains for commercial filming.

Feature filming, which has been up three of the last four weeks, accounted for 229 production days, a 60% jump over a year ago. On-location shooting for TV shows, however, dropped 14% to 224 production days, the third consecutive week of declines. A recent survey from FilmL.A. found that L.A. has been grabbing a smaller share of new TV pilots because of growing competition from New York and other cities outside of California.

Thank you Los Angeles Times
