Persian book festival coming to IrvineFebruary 11, 2019 at 7:35 PM When Bahareh Hedayat wanted to find immersion classes in Persian language and culture for her young children, she couldn’t find any close to home.
So the Irvine resident created her own language immersion and cultural center.
The non-profit, Bahar Kids, now is gearing to host its second annual Persian Children’s Book Festival on Feb. 24.

Like How off-campus college living boosts local poverty ratesNovember 16, 2018 at 11:30 AM The “starving student” is more than a stereotype of a challenging slice of one’s life.

When the census compiles the traditional poverty rate, it tabulates those among the civilian population living on less than poverty incomes. They are older than 15 and not “institutionalized” — those...Tags: Business, College, Los Angeles, Sport, Poverty, Soccer, Higher Education, Local News, Orange County, Cal State Fullerton, Boone, Los Angeles County, Riverside, UC Santa Barbara, Irvine, Appalachian State University 7 people like this.

The girl had a difficult life — born in South Africa to a drug-addicted mother and adopted from an orphanage by a couple who subsequently moved to Redlands and put down roots. Suffering serious health problems and learning disabilities including fetal alcohol syndrome and dyslexia, she began her freshman year at Redlands High School in August 2013.

Like 10 years of change: What new census says about 20 Southern California citiesSeptember 14, 2017 at 3:01 AM Big cities got bigger and a couple mid-sized cities exploded.
Immigration didn’t change as much as you might think.
And while property values haven’t fully recovered, post-recession, the cost of renting a home or apartment has surged, adding to conditions that have resulted in broad jumps in homelessness.
Those are some of the ways in which Southern California has changed over the past decade, according to Census Bureau estimates released to the public today.

Like A 3,350-Song Playlist of Music from Haruki Murakami’s Personal Record CollectionApril 12, 2017 at 7:15 AM Music and writing are inseparable in the hippest modern novels, from Kerouac to Nick Hornby to Irvine Welsh. It might even be said many such books would not exist without their internal soundtracks.
