On December 8th, two African-American employees filed a class action lawsuit against CNN, Turner Broadcasting, and Time Warner, alleging racial discrimination in the workplace. Specifically, in their lawsuit, plaintiffs allege that the workplace culture at these companies discourages or prohibits minorities from exercising their rights under laws which prohibit employment discrimination.
Discrimination in Promotions: where the company was alleged to have a pervasive pattern and practice of systematic and continuing employment discrimination against African-Americans with respect to opportunities to advance to leadership positions and/or otherwise obtain promotions. Allegedly, in the 46-year history of Turner's Network, no African-American has been promoted or selected to oversee any of Turner's Networks.
Anyone who experienced racial discrimination in the workplace can seek declaratory, injunctive, and other equitable relief—including compensatory and punitive damages—for violations of their rights under the Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act of 1871 (as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991).
This isn't the first lawsuit filed alleging discrimination against these broadcasting giants: Three other plaintiffs filed lawsuits last year, one of them seeking $50 million in a racial discrimination claim against CNN, Turner Broadcasting, Time Warner, and Turner Services Inc. This plaintiff also claimed that he experienced retaliation in his employment position after he filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Another plaintiff alleged that she not only suffered discrimination, but proceeded to lose her job after reporting the discrimination to human resources. One news outlet reports that approximately two dozen current and former employees have now claimed that there is a systematic problem with discriminatory practices throughout Turner networks.

Christmas Message of Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarch BARTHOLOMEW, Christmas is celebrated on January 7, 2020 in the Orthodox Church.
Full Text Message: By God's Mercy
Archbishop of Constantinople-New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch
To the plenitude of the Church
Grace, mercy and peace from the newborn Savior Christ in Bethlehem
Beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord,
Having once again arrived at the great feast of the Lord's Nativity, we glorify with hymn and spiritual song the One who emptied Himself for our sake and assumed our flesh so that He might redeem us from captivity to evil and open the gates of paradise to the human race. The Church of Christ rejoices as it liturgically experiences the whole mystery of Divine Economy and receives a foretaste of the glory of the eschatological kingdom, offering a good and godly witness to faith, hope and love in the world.
The character of the Church, while "not of this world," does not isolate the Church from historical and social reality, but inspires and strengthens its witness. The Church, then, ever in reference to the eternal destiny of man, serves his existential needs, pouring out, like the Good Samaritan, "oil and wine" on his wounds, becoming a "neighbor" for everyone "who falls among thieves" (cf. Luke 10.25–37), healing contemporary "cultural illnesses" and illuminating people's minds and hearts. As the presence of the Holy Spirit in the life of the faithful, spirituality means witnessing in word and deed to the hope that is in us and has nothing to do with barren introversion. The Holy Spirit is the giver of life, the source of goodness, the bestower of gifts, life and light. The Christian is a human being that is afire, loves God, humanity and beauty, active and creative.
The Gospel of the Nativity is again heard this year in a cultural environment where supreme value is attributed to "individual rights." Self-centeredness and the deceit of self-realization diminish social integrity, weaken the spirit of fellowship and solidarity, and objectivize interpersonal relations. Unrestricted emphasis on economy and secularization deepen the existential vacuum and lead to the diminishment of man's creative forces.
The Church cannot possibly ignore these developments, whose consequences are primarily endured by our youth through the enchanting mechanism of technology and the manifold promises of "false paradises." The Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church (Crete, 2016) emphatically invited our youth "to become aware that they are bearers and at the same time the continuation of the ancient and blessed tradition of the Orthodox Church," to actively participate in the life of the Church, "to courageously preserve and dynamically cultivate the eternal values of Orthodoxy in order to convey the life-giving witness of Christianity." (Encyclical, § 8–9)
In this same spirit, adhering to the exhortation of the Holy and Great Council but also in light of the recent election and enthronement of the new Archbishops of America, Australia and Thyateira-Great Britain for three large Eparchies of the Ecumenical Throne in the Diaspora, we declare 2020 as the "year of spiritual renewal and due concern for the youth," inviting all our clergy and faithful to participate in and support this inspiring effort.
We aspire to the advancement of a "dialogical pastoral ministry" with imagination and vision, with unshakable faith in the eternally flowing grace of God and confidence in the power of human freedom. This pastoral ministry is centered on human persons and must turn young people away from "seeking their own interests" and "pleasing themselves" to a love that "does not seek its own" and "is pleasing to God," from "material goods" to "the only One who is good," from "endless needs" to the "one thing that alone is needed," thereby contributing to the promotion of everyone's charismas. Our truly free self is born by offering our self.
The foundation of the Christian conscience's awakening remains to this day the experience and understanding of the meaning of Christian worship as well as its communal, Eucharistic and eschatological character. Young people must recognize that the Church is not a "union of Christians" but the "Body of Christ." We call the reverend clergy of the Holy Great Church of Christ throughout the world to a "kenotic" pastoral mobilization. We should not wait for our young men and women to come to us, but we should reach out to them ourselves, not as judges but as friends, in imitation of the "good shepherd," who "gives his life for his sheep" (John 10.11). A shepherd is always vigilant and on guard, aware of the pastoral needs of the youth and their social environment in order to act accordingly. His pastoral intervention draws inspiration and direction from the tradition of the Church, offering young people not merely "support" but the "truth" of freedom "to which Christ has set us free." (Gal. 5.1)
With these thoughts, we devoutly worship the Holy Child of Bethlehem and wish all of you from the festive Phanar a blessed Holy Twelvetide as well as a fruitful new year of our Lord, invoking on you the life-giving grace and great mercy of our Savior Christ, who condescended to the human race, the "God with us."
Your fervent supplicant before God

Trebra ist eine Gemeinde im thüringischen Kyffhäuserkreis. Sie gehört zur Verwaltungsgemeinschaft Greußen. Der Wirbelbach fließt in einen von Norden nach Südosten ausholenden Bogen um das Dorf herum.

Geschichte

Zu Beginn des 9. Jahrhunderts wurde Trebra in einem Verzeichnis der Güter des von Erzbischof Lullus († 786) von Mainz erbauten Klosters Hersfeld als Dribure erstmals urkundlich erwähnt. 874 errichteten Mönche des Benediktinerordens in unmittelbarer Nähe der ersten Ansiedlungen ein großes Gut. Von dem alten Klosterhof zeugt noch eine alte Scheune, in der Seccomalerei auf Lehm und Darstellungen biblischer Motive vorhanden sind. 1000 schenkte König Otto III. das Dorf Trebra dem Erzbistum Magdeburg. Später gab es dort eine Adelsfamilie, die sich nach dem Ort von Trebra nannte.

In der Folgezeit gehörte Trebra bis 1918 zur Unterherrschaft des Fürstentums Schwarzburg-Sondershausen.

Q: Laravel 5.0 ajax request to save session variable I am attempting to use an ajax request to save a session variable which is used to disable my site's background images.  As of right now, it DOES work if I simply go to the route itself, however, if I run the function through an ajax request, it fails completely and does NOT save the value to session even if it shows it in the dd(Session::all()) right after.
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Session;
use Request;
use App;
use Response;

class SessionVarController extends Controller {

    public function backgroundImgsOff()
    {
        if(Request::ajax())
        {
            Session::put(['backgroundImgDisable' => true]);
            return Response::json();
        }
        else
        {
            App::abort(404, 'Page not found.');
        }
    }

    public function backgroundImgsOn()
    {
        if(Request::ajax())
        {
            Session::forget(['backgroundImgDisable']);
            return Response::json();
        }
        else
        {
            App::abort(404, 'Page not found.');
        }
    }

}

Does anyone know why this seems to refuse to actually save the session variable?  I read somewhere that it may have to do with session states, however, I have been unsuccessful in locating so much as a hint to a solution.
EDIT: here is my ajax (keep in mind this is my first attempt at ajax).
function enableBackgroundImages() {
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {
        // code for IE6, IE5
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.open("GET","{{ action('SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOn') }}",true);
    xmlhttp.send();
}
function disableBackgroundImages() {
    if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
        // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
        xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
    } else {
        // code for IE6, IE5
        xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
    xmlhttp.open("GET","{{ action('SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOff') }}",true);
    xmlhttp.send();
}

Here are the buttons on the page:

    Background Images:

        On

    /

        Off

Lastly, here are my routes:
Route::get('background_images_on', 'SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOn');
Route::get('background_images_off', 'SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOff');

Thanks.

A: Your controller code works. It probably has to do with how your routes or your ajax call.
routes.php
Route::post('background-imgs/disable','SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOff');
Route::post('background-imgs/enable','SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOn');

jQuery
  $("#on").on('click', function () {
      var that = this;
      $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url:'/background-imgs/enable'
      });
  });

  $("#off").on('click', function () {
      var that = this;
      $.ajax({
          type: "POST",
          url:'/background-imgs/disable'
      });
  });

You could normalize this a bit if you wanted and return a value so you can see what's happening.
routes.php
Route::post('background-imgs/{action}','SessionVarController@backgroundImages')
    ->where('action', '[enable]*[disable]*');

controller
class SessionVarController extends Controller {

public function backgroundImages($action = 'enable')
{
    if(!Request::ajax())
    {
        abort(404, 'Page not found.');
    }
    if ($action === 'enable'){
        Session::forget(['backgroundImgDisable']);
        return Response::json(['background' => 'enabled']);
    }
    Session::put(['backgroundImgDisable' => true]);
    return Response::json(['background' => 'disabled']);

}

Edit per updated question
You need to add the X-Requested-With header to your XMLHttpRequest.
Laravel uses Symfony to check if it is an ajax request.
public function isXmlHttpRequest()
{
    return 'XMLHttpRequest' == $this->headers->get('X-Requested-With');
}

You javascript code should look like this.
function enableBackgroundImages() {
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
      // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
      xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } else {
      // code for IE6, IE5
      xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
  xmlhttp.open("GET","{{ action('TestController@backgroundImgsOn') }}",true);
  xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With','XMLHttpRequest');
  xmlhttp.send();
}
function disableBackgroundImages() {
  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
      // code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
      xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
  } else {
      // code for IE6, IE5
      xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
  xmlhttp.open("GET","{{ action('TestController@backgroundImgsOff') }}",true);
  xmlhttp.setRequestHeader('X-Requested-With','XMLHttpRequest');
  xmlhttp.send();
}

You might want to look into jQuery for this. It adds a bit of bulk to your JavaScript but it is much easier to deal with.
You could write your methods like this.
function enableBackgroundImages() {
        $.get("{{ action('SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOn') }}");
}
function disableBackgroundImages() {
        $.get("{{ action('SessionVarController@backgroundImgsOff') }}");
}

A: You need to add following lines to return from ajax call and it will work like magic.
$result['status'] = 'success';
return json_encode($result);
exit;

I had the same problem. I used echo json_encode($result); statement and then I replaced it with return json_encode($result); statement and it works like charm.

A: Easiest way in laravel 5.3 use
    \Session::put("userid",Input::get('userid'));
    \Session::save();

In Newfoundland, fairies are dangerous. They steal babies, play wild music that forces people to dance till they drop, and lead travellers over cliffs to their deaths. Sometimes they spirit people away completely: heedless berry pickers are particularly susceptible. Spirited Away: Fairy Stories of Old Newfoundland, by Tom Dawe with illustrations by Veselina Tomova, is a collection of stories about how these strange and malevolent fairies interfere in people's lives.
In the book, two young men walking home after a dance are pursued by jack-o'-lanterns – eerie lights that hover over marshes. A woman walking by a cemetery at night is witness to a fairy funeral, with small, mournful figures. An old lady is mysteriously transported several miles through dense bush and over rivers, all without a scratch or any effort on her part.
Dawe portrays the details of life in Newfoundland in the old days, showing how easy it was to believe in evil spirits when the wind howled through the house and there were no electric lights to chase away the darkness. Like a typical Newfoundland evening of storytelling, there are stories within stories within stories. The fairies are seldom experienced first-hand, but the atmosphere of dread is slowly created until the reader is spirited away into a terrifying world where anything can happen.
Dawe is a poet, which is reflected in his simple, but lyrical, text. Tomova's sinister woodcuts, with their muted colours and grotesque figures, draw the reader deeper into the unsettling world of these dark fairies. Together, they've perfectly captured the sweet terror that comes when sitting by a flickering light and listening to unearthly tales.

HARRISBURG, PA, April 14, 2008 -- Governor Edward G. Rendell today announced the PENNVEST Board of Directors' approval of $72 million in low-interest loans and grants for 19 brownfields, drinking water, wastewater, and storm water projects in 15 counties.
The Governor said the projects are important to the environment, the health of citizens, and the economic vitality of communities.
"As Governor and co-founder of the Building America's Future Coalition (http://www.investininfrastructure.org/), I am committed to maintaining and improving the health of our critical infrastructure for the benefit of residents, businesses and communities," Governor Rendell said. "Today's actions by the PENNVEST Board take us one more step down the long, difficult but vital road to a safer, more secure and more prosperous future."
Most of the money approved today, $64 million, is for low-interest loans. Combined with $8 million in grants, PENNVEST will fund 19 clean water projects.
The awards range from a $356,081 loan and grant for an innovative and cost-effective wastewater management system to serve a community in Tioga County to an $11 million loan to help fund a brownfield remediation project in Philadelphia that will facilitate the development of a world-class food distribution center and create 300 new jobs.
Funds for the projects are disbursed after bills for work are paid and the receipts are submitted to PENNVEST for reimbursement.

Les églises blanches ou églises blanches du Saguenay est un courant mineur de l'architecture religieuse nord-américaine des années 1950 et 1960. Ce style particulier initié par les architectes Paul-Marie Côté et Jacques Coutu, basés à Chicoutimi, est à l'origine de l'implantation du modernisme, notamment le brutalisme et l'expressionnisme formel, dans l'architecture religieuse en Amérique du Nord. Ces églises sont principalement concentrée dans la région du Saguenay, au Québec (Canada). On en retrouve également quelques-unes au Lac Saint-Jean, à Chibougamau ainsi que dans la région de Québec.

ok so i if any of you guys remember about a month ago i asked about servoes and torque for my bioloid and everything well anyways i ended up buying 4 new servoes from trossen and they were allworking fine until yesterday when i was programing my robot with its new moves sence i have to re-do all the motions to incorporate his new servos into the movements&motions. so all the sudden im playing the motion i just made and i had all ready played the moiton before so it was not a new stress on the servo or anything but all the sudden in the middle of the motion it stopped and said error and this whole error message showed up with codes and numbers saying it was the servo with id 20 so long story short i have the servo with id 20 off and my robot runs just fine well not rely but it performs the motions just fine with out any errrors. and the servo 20 when i hook it up by its self to the cm-5 it spins randomly every once in a wile and the led light stays on insted of normally turnin on initally and then off.
ive allready reset the servo in robot terminal and its still acting wierd. its allmost brand new i mean ive only had it for like 2 weeks. dose any have any ideas on fixing it or do i need to buy a new one.. i kinda wana fix it tho because i dont relly wana spend 50 bucks on a servo if i dont have to..i would much rather buy a laser for him haha.
Did you set the Id correctly?
What error message was it giving? Could you post it here?
ya the id was set just fine and i programed like 25 new motions correctly with no problems..
ya i would post the error message but it no longer recognises the servo. when i turn it on but when its hooked up with robot terminal on it says on id found. so its noteven regestering with robot terminal.
Well the red light staying on certainly indicates an error with the servo. Could you please post the error code it was giving you initially?
Also make sure you have the position set with the 300 degree range before powering it on. If the two registers that determine continuous rotation vs positional rotation aren't set and it's beyond it's normal range it could be causing that.
Hook up your CM-5 with just the erring servo connected, launch the Dynacommander program and do a scan. If it recognizes the AX-12 it will appear on the list to the left, select it and then press the "Reset" button which will basically reset everything back to factory settings.
Your next option would be to reflash the firmware of the AX-12, I'd need to look up instructions to do that though so try what I've listed first and we'll go from there.

Wholesalers are actually extremely well suited to an ecommerce offering. Large product ranges, complex and varying pricing models and differing payment methods are all difficult to execute in physical stores where any number of different customers walk through side by side. Transport yourself into ecommerce and you can offer customers an infinite range whilst highlighting their regular items; personalised pricing and payment information, and targeted advertisement into the deals that may be of interest to them.
Understand your customers and attract new ones – ecommerce allows you to offer your customers tailored and personalised experiences. By adopting tools to translate customer information into strategies and campaigns that anticipate individual customer behaviour, retailers will be able to deliver a great online buying experience and help keep existing customers whilst attracting new ones.
Retail basics – Even within ecommerce, retail is still retail and the basics of it are as important as ever. The best online experience can be destroyed by poor service of fulfilment. The majority of failures in ecommerce result from a failure to recognise this so when developing your online business, do not neglect the core retail processes that will execute it to your customers.
User experience –Just because you are targeting business customers does not mean you need to make your website look like a 1980s ordering system. Learn the lessons from B2C best practise and apply those with your B2B industry expertise.
Business strategy –What is your range breadth, what are your pricing and payment variations, what are your international ambitions? Understanding your current and future needs before you enter the market will allow the selection of technology that enables your ambitions cost effectively. For example, if you plan in five years' time to be operating in 10 countries with a 100k product catalogue and offering differing pricing models based on customers' size of business with you, ensure you select an ecommerce engine that supports multi-language, multi-country, personalised pricing models within the same core ecommerce engine and not one which requires a different architecture for each country you operate it.
Look beyond your immediate industry – Wholesalers who purely observe the actions of immediate competition are unlikely to lead their market, just follow it. By identifying the retailers who are able to be successful through ecommerce, across industries, observing the key characteristics, capabilities and partnerships that create success, wholesalers can then map these back to their market and implement them within their company. Ultimately it's not about beefing up ecommerce efforts in isolation. This is not a project or a trend, but rather an integral part of the future of business and wholesalers need to embrace it to ensure they continue to be successful. Those who don't adapt risk losing out to digital-savvy competitors and an ever growing army of suppliers who are looking to supply goods direct to consumers through ecommerce. Retailers need to embed ecommerce and omnichannel retailing into the DNA of their organisation to truly reap the rewards it can offer them and their customers.

Stakes are high as BlackBerry releases its first Android smartphone
David Friend, The Canadian Press November 2, 2015
TORONTO – The future of BlackBerry's smartphone business may very well be sitting in your hands later this week.
The BlackBerry Priv, the company's first Android device, marks what could be a last-ditch attempt by the Waterloo, Ont.-based developer to create a phone popular enough to save its struggling hardware division.
If the Priv doesn't sell, it's almost certain BlackBerry will pull the plug on designing phones after a series of sales flops whittled down its thriving device business into a money-losing operation.
"BlackBerry's handset business rides on the success or failure of the Priv," said technology analyst Carmi Levy.
"If this device doesn't turn the sales tide around, expect a quick decision in the new year."
After being pummelled by the likes of Apple and Samsung, BlackBerry is doing what some of its critics say should've happened years ago: appealing to existing smartphone trends instead of fighting against them.
For first time in its history, BlackBerry will be selling a phone beginning Friday that doesn't run on its own operating system, using Google's Android system instead.
It's a compromise with the mainstream on almost every level. On the surface, its larger touch screen evokes the design of most smartphones on the market, while a slider keyboard caters to more traditional BlackBerry users who still favour one of the company's most beloved features.
In naming the device Priv — short for privacy and privilege — the company hopes to tap into a conversation about how we unknowingly share our personal details with third parties through various phone apps.
BlackBerry promises the Priv will help users learn exactly who is accessing their information by monitoring the legitimacy of apps and outlining how many times services like Facebook and free games log details like GPS co-ordinates, access image files or activate the microphone.
Whether those selling features are enough to lure back former "CrackBerry" users remains to be seen.
BlackBerry put off calls to build a phone on the Android for years, despite appeals from some analysts to abandon what they considered was a tunnel-vision perspective that ignored some of the biggest failures of its own devices.
Using the world's most popular operating system resolves one of the biggest setbacks of the company's most recent models: a lack of apps that set it miles behind other phones that could stream Netflix, post on Instagram and interact through Snapchat.
BlackBerry executives had tried to overcome the hurdle, but with every year it became harder to ignore how quickly the company was falling short of what people expected from their phones.
When John Chen joined the company in late 2013, one of his first priorities was saving the company from its own app disaster.
"I was swimming uphill against the application people," he said in late September. "Eventually it didn't matter how hard I tried."
After a partnership with Amazon's app store failed to completely solve the app shortage, Chen was faced with breaking one of BlackBerry's cardinal rules which resisted saddling up to a competitor's operating system.
But putting the pride of BlackBerry aside wasn't easy. The decision was "highly contested and debated" by employees, Chen said.
One former insider at the company, who was not authorized to speak about BlackBerry's internal operations, said employees were concerned that making an Android phone would result in widespread layoffs — a fear that he says began to prove true when BlackBerry slashed its development staff over the summer.
After an ugly transition period, the Priv arrives in stores nearly two years after concepts for the device began to take shape.
Over the coming weeks, BlackBerry will unveil a marketing campaign it says forgoes the traditional launch event in favour of spending on advertising throughout the crucial holiday shopping season.
The goal of boosting BlackBerry sales could prove a huge challenge against a slate of high-end devices from industry giants, particularly Apple's iPhone and Samsung's Galaxy.
This year, sales of a variety of cheaper phones, like Google's Nexus, Sony and LG, have also picked up momentum, and that could make it harder for BlackBerry to pitch a compelling case to invest in its pricier device, which lists for $899 at BlackBerry's Canadian web store without a carrier contract.
If the Priv doesn't sell, BlackBerry would likely scale back its staff even further and pivot attention to its software licensing and services division.
Chief operating officer Marty Beard said BlackBerry executives have been focused on ensuring that doesn't happen.
"We're doing everything we can to make hardware a profitable business, of which meeting our business case objectives for Priv is a very important part," he said.
"We have a down-to-the-penny view on what we need to achieve with Priv and we're very focused on that."
While Beard wouldn't provide presales figures, he said advance orders for the Priv have been "much" better than the Passport, Classic and Leap devices.
Executives have also emphasized that despite pairing with Android, the company isn't abandoning its BlackBerry 10 operating system. It plans to offer new updates in early 2016.
Before the middle of next year, Chen needs to make a few big decisions, including whether there's still hope in making BlackBerry phones a viable business.
While outsiders might be skeptical, the CEO said he's confident the hardware division can still become profitable.
"It's doable," he said. "Otherwise we wouldn't be doing it."

London. Portrait of a City
London is immersed in history yet tirelessly innovative, a city of exciting contrast. This XL monograph collates a mass of photographs retrieved from all manner of archives to present a visual map of the city—both past and present. Images of London's diverse inhabitants, streets, and sites are woven throughout the book with key cultural references and informative essays.
A photographic journey through the history of this epic city
Samuel Johnson famously said that: "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life." London's remarkable history, architecture, landmarks, streets, style, cool, swagger, and stalwart residents are pictured in hundreds of compelling photographs sourced from a wide array of archives around the world. London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant. This book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history. In addition to the wealth of images included in this book, many previously unpublished, London's history is told through hundreds of quotations, lively essays, and references from key movies, books, and records.
From Victorian London to the Swinging '60s; from the Battle of Britain to Punk; from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from rough pubs to private drinking clubs; from royal weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of Westminster; from Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters; from the power to glory: in page after page of stunning photographs, reproduced big and bold like the city itself, London at last gets the photographic tribute it deserves.
Photographs by: Slim Aarons, Eve Arnold, David Bailey, Cecil Beaton, Bill Brandt, Alvin Langdon Coburn, Anton Corbijn, Terence Donovan, Roger Fenton, Bert Hardy, Evelyn Hofer, Frank Horvat, Tony Ray-Jones, Nadav Kander, Roger Mayne, Linda McCartney, Don McCullin, Norman Parkinson, Martin Parr, Rankin, Lord Snowdon, William Henry Fox Talbot, Juergen Teller, Mario Testino, Wolfgang Tillmans, and many, many others.
Reuel Golden is the former editor of the British Journal of Photography and the Photography editor at TASCHEN.

Office Holiday gifts are tricky business. Here's help.
Budgets are lean. Employees are asked to do more with less. Recognizing good work and thanking loyal customers has never been more important. We all get that. But how?
We've pulled together a few can't miss ideas to help you out. Got fifty people and a budget of about $5/each? Don't think frugal equals throw-away. It just takes a little thought and a plan.
Think flashlights. They're practical and useful, two things your team will appreciate. After the office party, hand them out with a note tied around each that says, "thanks for helping us find our way" or "your bright ideas never stop amazing me."
Think drinkware. Warm wishes come easy with a sturdy mug. Add a packet of tea or cocoa. Hand them out at a skating party and you've created a memory marker.
Think totes. Your department is full of soccer moms and dads. Bet there's camping enthusiasts, bicyclists, movie buffs...Start with a basic bag (complete with your logo). A few creative additions inside turns the reusable bag into thoughtful gift wrapping. And tells them you value their 5-to-9 time, too.
Have some clever office party ideas to share? We'd love to read your comments.
During these work-at-your-desk times, I've found it's almost impossible to get through an entire work week without at least one ketchup, salsa or French dressing collision. But I've stumbled on to a friend in my fight against humiliating post-lunch meetings: No Iron Pinpoints. If I catch it quickly, the dollop just lifts off. No kidding! Same goes for coffee dribbles. (A friendly co-worker with a laundry stick helps at times, too!) I've been writing about these shirts for two years now and never knew such function was possible. But let me tell you, until my coordination with a coffee cup improves, I'm sticking with these shirts on big meeting days. Might just help you out, too.
Take a (chip) shot and win!
WE HAVE A WINNER! (Actually, we have three.) Congrats to Kyle, Lisa and James who all knew that 256 golf balls will indeed fit into a 5 gallon water jug. Each will receive a $50 Lands' End Gift Card. Thanks to all of you who played along with our Friday Fun challenge!
Have a little Friday fun with us. Guess how many golf balls are in our five gallon water bottle. It's possibly the easiest way to win a $50 Lands' End gift card. Make a guess before Midnight, October 9. Winner will be announced on Monday, October 12.


Home > Think the Recent Tax Law Changes Mean You Don't Need to Tackle Estate Planning? Think Again.
As an estate planning attorney, I have been asked frequently about the impact that the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) will have on planning due to the doubling of the exemption for the estate, gift, and generation-skipping taxes. As a result of this change, an individual can transfer up to $11,200,000, and a married couple can transfer up to $22,400,000, with no Federal Estate Tax liability. This is important because the marginal federal tax rate remains at 40%. As such, many assume that this change will result in less of a need for planning. The reality of the situation is that regardless of the changes set forth in the TCJA, there are significant nontax related issues that every family should consider.
Estate planning has two distant goals, each having equal importance. The first goal is tax planning. As stated above, the changes the TCJA has made to the exemption for the estate, gift, and generation-skipping taxes makes it less likely that an individual or family will be subject to the Federal Estate Tax. On its face this may support the argument that advanced planning is not necessary; however, the TCJA has no impact on state taxes, so individuals living in states with significant estate or inheritance taxes will still have ample immediate tax planning opportunities. Also, the TCJA changes to the applicable exemption are only temporary and scheduled to revert back to the 2017 levels (adjusted for inflation) beginning January 1, 2026. So even though a married couple may not have $22,400,000 in assets now, a couple that meets the prior exemption should still consider implementing some type of tax plan. Also, we simply do not know if the next administration will continue with these changes, and it is certainly possible that the exemption amount gets reduced earlier than 2026. As such, tax planning should always be considered, even if assets fall within the current exemption levels.
The second goal of estate planning is family planning. This can be described as nontax related planning that every family should consider, irrespective of wealth. Nontax planning includes distribution of assets, asset protection, financial provisions for children, guardianships for minor children, business succession planning, special needs trusts, the appointment of agents to handle finances and health decisions in the event of incapacity, etc. It can be difficult to discuss and make decisions about your impending death, but I always like to tell clients to think about it as an investment. By spending a little time planning now, you can save your family a lot of heartache and expense at a later date.
A Will is a document that allows a person to set forth their wishes upon death. This includes the disposition of assets, appointment of persons to care for minor children ("guardian"), appointment of persons to manage assets passing to minor children ("trustee"), determination of how assets will be managed on behalf of minor children ("minor's trust"), and appointment of persons to handle your affairs ("executor"). A Will can be as simple or complex as one desires. A good estate planning attorney will take the time to get to know you personally, review your assets and how they are titled, review beneficiary designations on life insurance and retirement assets, understand your wishes and desires, and then draft a Will specific to your individual needs.
A Durable Power of Attorney ("DPOA") is a document that an individual can use to appoint someone ("Agent") to handle their financial affairs if they are mentally or physically incapacitated. A DPOA is a very powerful document, and I describe that power to my clients as 'allowing someone to step into your shoes to handle your money just as you would yourself.' The DPOA grants broad powers and allows the Agent to perform everyday tasks such as banking, paying bills, buying and selling assets, opening and closing bank accounts, authorizing medical care, and managing different services, including government services. The DPOA is critical for elderly clients and those showing beginning stages of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but it is also very important for all individuals to appoint someone to assist in this capacity. A good estate planning attorney will help a person understand the powers this document bestows, but also to help identify individuals to serve in that capacity. If a person does not have a DPOA and someone has to act on their behalf, the process to get someone appointed as guardian can be expensive and time-consuming.
A Health Care Power of Attorney ("HCPOA") is a document that an individual can use to appoint someone ("Health Care Agent") to make health-related decisions if they are mentally or physically incapacitated. Most HCPOA's contain a Living Will portion, whereby the individual can express how they wish to be cared for, and what types of medical treatments they wish, and do not wish, to receive. Clients often struggle with this discussion, but I always remind them that it takes the burden off of family members when they know your wishes and desires.
Clients often ask what happens if they change their mind? It is important to note that the HCPOA is only applicable if the person is deemed incapacitated and unable to make healthcare decisions on their own. So long as you have the capacity, your immediate wishes will always supersede the HCPOA. It is also important to note that for persons who have not signed an HCPOA, doctors are ethically and legally obligated to administer all treatment options to keep you alive, even if that means that you will be in a permanent vegetative state.
While a Will allows a person to appoint a testamentary guardian, this individual does not possess the necessary powers of the guardian until they petition the Court and a Judge signs an Order. This process can take time and be expensive. As such, we recommend that our clients sign a Standby Guardianship. This gives the guardian full power and authority to act as guardian for a period of sixty (60) days prior to having to file a petition with the Court to have the guardianship confirmed and possibly continued.
The Standby Guardianship is a powerful document. It can be helpful in short-term situations whereby a parent may be traveling out of the country, but it can also be used in longer term situations whereby parents are tragically killed in an accident, by permitting the immediate appointment of a guardian without Court approval. It allows for a more seamless and less stressful transition for minor children.
You have probably heard the term probate. This is the process that happens when someone dies, and their Will is registered with the Court. The Court then provides oversight to ensure the terms of the Will are followed and assets get distributed pursuant to that person's wishes. It is important to note that the Court will only provide oversight of probate assets. These are assets that do not have their own beneficiary designations, and which pass under the terms of the Will. There are a number of assets such as life insurance, annuities, 401(K) retirement plans, IRAs, etc., that are considered non-probate assets. These assets have their own beneficiary designations, and distribution of these assets is not controlled by a person's Will. As such, a good estate planning attorney will always review beneficiary designations with a client to ensure they still meet that person's intentions and are compatible with the overall plan.
As you can see, just because the changes set forth by the TCJA will result in fewer families having to worry about Federal Estate Tax liability, there is still a tremendous opportunity to help families plan. A small investment in time and money now will result in less heartache and angst for family members in the future.

Chic Steak Sandwich is a famous recipe from the Acme Cafe.
Ding…ding…ding! Order up! Chic Steak Sandwich, extra mayo, hold the pickle!
My father, George Graham, Sr., was slinging burgers at White Tower in Michigan in the years before WW II and wound up welding aircraft parts in a factory in Detroit until war's end. Flush with cash and a dream, he and my mom headed back to the South and opened a small café on the main drag of the little town of Bogalusa, Louisiana.
George Graham, Sr., my father, and the best restaurateur I've ever known.
In 1946, my father's restaurant–the Acme Café–was the epitome of a sleepy small-town diner but for one big difference: It was located across the street from one of the nation's largest paper mills employing over 4,000 hungry workers. The Acme was a 24-hour, 7-days-a-week operation and for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the hours in between, my father served up Southern specialties that developed a wide following.
In those years (before the interstate highway system), the Acme was a must-stop on the drive between New Orleans and Jackson, Mississippi. It was famous for its fried chicken, seafood gumbo, chicken and dumplings, and one of the most popular items of all–the Chic Steak Sandwich.
Tenderized pork loin is the secret ingredient in the Chic Steak Sandwich.
My dad invented this sandwich out of necessity. Chicken fried steak was a popular menu item, but in those days, the cost of beef put a sandwich version out of reach. Pork was the answer to my father's Chic Steak Sandwich. Cutting ¾-inch-thick slices of the lower-priced pork loin and running them twice through a tenderizing machine created a magnificent sandwich cut–tender, tasty, and huge. With a dredge of flour and simple seasonings, the pork fried up to golden brown crispy perfection. Just a slather of mayo, pickle slices, and all dressed on a sesame bun, the Chic Steak Sandwich was a big hit.
Until his retirement 45 years later, my father ran that simple café with a smile on his face and a warm greeting to everyone who entered those glass doors for a seat at his counter. No doubt, the Acme sold hundreds of thousands of those sandwiches, and today I share my father's recipe for his Chic Steak Sandwich with you.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil.
Sprinkle the pork loin slices with salt and pepper; dredge in the flour and coat each side thoroughly removing any excess.
Once the oil reaches 350ºF, add the pork loin and fry until golden brown on each side. Remove to a paper towel-lined platter and keep warm.
For assembly, open the buns and slather both halves with mayonnaise; add the shredded lettuce and 2 tomato slices along with the pickle slices to the bottom half. Top with the fried pork loin and close the sandwich. Serve with potato chips or French fries.
Buy the boneless pork loin chops and ask your butcher to run it through a tenderizer twice, rotating 90 degrees on the second pass.
The memories of Acme cafe. After football games, shopping on Columbia street. Telephone men ( my dad was one) taking their coffee breaks….No better food anywhere. Those were the days.
Have never had a Chic Steak sandwich as good as one at the Acme after the "midnight show" at the Ritz or State Theaters. It was the best!
Yep! Chic Steaks and Lumberjack football — Friday Night Bites! Thanks my friend.
I'll have to share this information with Suzi Kergosien Russ of Natchez, MS. (Where I live). She grew up in Bogolusa from the mid 40's to early 1960's. She is bound to remember your father's restaurant!
Chick steak ! I can't believe it!! It was the best!! Perfect date fare!! Now we have the secret family recipe!! Thanks George!
You are correct! Many romances began over a chic steak sandwich and a chocolate malt. All my best to your family.
I have eaten quite a few of those myself. the Acme was an institution in Bogalusa. I went there many a late Friday or Saturday nights. Thanks for the memories and the recipes you post. They are amazing and I really enjoy them. Still here in Bogalusa. Thanks George.
I grew up in Meridian, Ms ….from 1964 – 1970 my friends and I after going to the Temple Theatre for a movie, we would enjoyed eating at the Triangle Resturant. You could get a chic steak sandwich and fries toped off with an original glass of Coca – Cola. Next, we would cross the street to Newberry's and Woolsworth's to look at all of the toys.Everything was a block and a half apart then. Finally, we 'd ride the old time bus home while looking out the back window.
Don't you just love food memories? Those were simpler times when a Nehi and a Moon Pie were as good as it gets. I spent some time in my younger years traveling through Meridian and I vividly remember a stop at a unique German restaurant in town …is it still there? All the best.
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. Loved those sandwiches!
I grew up eating at the Acme Cafe from the 50's until it closed. After the midnight show we would feast on chick-steak sandwiches, open faced roast beef, and cheeseburger steaks. In May of 1970, we even had our rehearsal dinner for our wedding at the Acme. When I went to work at the paper mill, we would get a "meal ticket" for every four-hour overtime worked. These could be exchanged for a meal or pies, etc. Those were the good old days.
Joe- Great to hear from an Acme fan; you'd be surprised how many there are still out there. In my teens, I helped deliver the meals in the Acme van and perhaps I delivered one to you at the paper mill. And you are correct: Those were the good old days. All the best to you and your family.

10 Players Who Could Leave Manchester United On Ten Hag's Arrival In The Summer Revealed
Following the humiliating 4–0 defeat against Liverpool on Tuesday, Ralf Rangnick confirmed a massive summer overhaul.
The German manager announced that up to 10 players could arrive at Manchester United ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
Confirmed to leave
Matic has announced on social media that he will be leaving the club at the end of the season after spending five years at Old Trafford.
The Spaniard's contract expires in the summer and Mata will be on his way out after hardly featuring during the 2021-22 season.
Man United blocked Lingard's exit in the January transfer window and the 29-year-old will depart on a free transfer this summer.
Cavani's second season at Man United has been a complete disappointment and the striker's contract will not be extended beyond this campaign.
Rangnick Finally Reveals Why Phil Jones Started Ahead Of Eric Bailly In Defeat To Liverpool
Manchester United Potential Line-Up Under Erik ten Hag Finally Revealed With 3 New Players In
Could still stay
David De Gea will remain Man United's no.1 under Erik ten Hag and Henderson is likely to push for an exit in order to play first-team football.
Bailly will be fuming with Man United after being left on the bench for the Liverpool clash on Tuesday and the center-back is likely to assess his options.
Jones is finally back to full fitness but it remains to be seen whether Ten Hag will have a place for the Englishman in his team next season.
Tuanzebe has done himself little favors this season with loans to Aston Villa and Napoli clearly not working out. Therefore, a summer exit is likely.
The Frenchman continues to toy with Man United, not announcing his future despite the fact that his Old Trafford contract expires in June. However, Pogba is still 90% likely to leave.
Sevilla will not be making a permanent offer for Martial and the striker will return to Man United in the summer when his future will be assessed by Ten Hag.

Penn State getting the 'Death Penalty' would punish those not involved
Posted on July 17, 2012 by Robert Stone
With the release of the Freeh Report on the Penn State scandal and how far the cover-up went, NCAA President Mark Emmert is forced to consider giving Penn State the Death Penalty.
For those who don't know, the Death Penalty is when a school is forced to stop all football operations for a full calendar year. It has been given out by the NCAA only five times and only once to a Division-I football team, Southern Methodist University in 1987.
While the things that went on at Penn State are horrible, unbelievable acts, giving the school's current football team the Death Penalty would be punishing those who had nothing to do with Sandusky and the cover-up.
Granted it would be punishing the University as a whole for what happened, but what would punishing the new staff trying to correct this egregious mistake help do?
Consider this: when Paterno and university president Graham Spainer first learned of the allegations against Sandusky, in 1998, Christian Hackenberg, the number one quarterback in the Class of '13 and a Penn State commitment, would have been three-years old. Does he deserve the Death Penalty for what Spainer and Paterno, men he will have no contact with during his time at Penn State, did to hide Sandusky's crimes?
New head coach Bill O'Brien was working at Georgia Tech at the time as their running backs coach, should he be denied his first chance as a head coach because of the Death Penalty? Should he have to go from the Offensive Coordinator with the Patriots in 2011 to trying to field a team after the punishments have been lifted in 2013?
This isn't suppose to be some plea that 'Penn State is being punished unfairly' because it is not anywhere close to that. Penn State University should go bankrupt trying to pay out civil damages to all of Sandusky's victims. Had Joe Paterno not passed away I believe he should be in jail, along with Spainer, AD Tim Curley and Spainer's VP Gary Schultz.
In the Freeh Report, Spainer decided turning Sandusky in wouldn't be the 'humane thing to do.' Fine, if you believe that garbage you think and can still sleep at night, fine. But at least they got him off the Penn State campus right? Wrong, Sandusky was allowed to stay, but Spainer drove home every other meaningless NCAA bylaw while the biggest crime of all happened. Dan Wetzel described the 'major' infractions that Spainer decided to stop, including the buying of a suit by an agent for a player to attend an award show.
This entire scandal goes to show what happens when one man becomes bigger than the university that employs him. Hopefully every school in the country can learn from this and may despicable acts such as these never occur on a college campus by a man who uses his power to prey on innocent children.
I pray it never does, but if something as repulsive as this ever happens again hopefully the people in charge will act to stop the monster roaming their campus, because that will truly be the 'humane thing to do.'

In my DO, no Annual Leave was allowed this year during the 4 weeks before Christmas, i.e. weeks commencing 26 November, 3 December, 10 December and 17 December.
Our rep agreed to block off 5 weeks next Christmas, is he not supposed to ask us first?

212. When it comes to the particulars of the form of heaven and how it proceeds and flows, this not even the angels can comprehend. Some conception of it can be gained from the form of all things in the human body, when this is scanned and investigated by an acute and wise man; for it has been shown above, in their respective chapters, that the entire heaven reflects a single man (see n. 59-72) and that all things in man correspond to the heavens (n. 87-102). How incomprehensible and inexplicable that form is is evident only in a general way from the nervous fibers, by which each part and all parts of the body are woven together. What these fibers are, and how they proceed and flow in the brain, the eye cannot at all perceive; for innumerable fibers are there so interwoven that taken together they appear like a soft continuous mass; and yet it is in accord with these that each thing and all things of the will and understanding flow with the utmost distinctness into acts. How again they interweave themselves in the body is clear from the various plexuses, such as those of the heart, the mesentery, and others; and also from the knots called ganglions, into which many fibers enter from every region and there intermingle, and when variously joined together go forth to their functions, and this again and again; besides like things in every viscus, member, organ, and muscle. Whoever examines these fibers and their many wonders with the eye of wisdom will be utterly bewildered. And yet the things seen with the eye are few, and those not seen are still more wonderful because they belong to an inner realm of nature. It is clearly evident that this form corresponds to the form of heaven, because all the workings of the understanding and the will are within it and are in accordance with it; for it is in accordance with this form that whatever a man wills passes spontaneously into act, and whatever he thinks spreads through the fibers from their beginnings even to their terminations, which is the source of sensations; and inasmuch as it is the form of thought and will, it is the form of intelligence and wisdom. Such is the form that corresponds to the form of heaven. And from this it can be known that such is the form in accordance with which every affection and thought of angels extends itself, and that so far as the angels are in that form they are in intelligence and wisdom. That this form of heaven is from the Divine Human of the Lord can be seen above (n. 78-86). All this has been said to make clear also that the heavenly form is such that even as to its generals it can never be completely known, thus that it is incomprehensible even to the angels, as has been said above.


Ive spent the final complete evening enjoying the game, leveling-up my assortment of figures which has changed into in to an awkward secure. For for now, Im hooked.
Fire Logo Characters is an essential moment for Nintendo, as well as somewhat of a fascinating experiment as well. Its going to be an important evaluation of its own cellular telephone hack fire emblem heroes art, and a significant start along with the kind of Pokmon MOVE and Supermario Operate. But its really a bit distinct from these games, which can be nice and poor for distinct reasons.
Nintendo had not been the publisher of the game, supporting just a little bit of the cake, but its inextricably associated with them yet, as it went up their stock-price and helped 3DS and portable Pokmon games travel off the shelves.
Supermario Operate was Nintendos effort to do their particular factor in the mobile area, developing a Mario game for the system, and pricing it using moba gaming a $10 total un Lock version, some thing seldom noticed in in the sector. Yet another experimentation, this period with relatively mixed outcomes.
Now, Fireplace Symbol Characters is what the results are when Nintendo quits attempting to be a a pacesetter, and is content truly being a friends. That's perhaps not supposed to be an abuse, but Fire Symbol Characters is greatly linked into a boat-load of additional Japanese gacha fire emblem heroes cheats 2017 games in which characters are leveled up and united with one yet another to make superb variations to execute better in conflict. And it h AS conventional cell features that go right back ages, like wait timers to re-charge endurance bar S, slotmachine-like trade — the functions.

Провінція Санукі ( — санукі но куні, «країна Санукі»; 讃州 — сансю, «провінція Санукі») — історична провінція Японії у регіоні Шікоку на сході острова Шікоку. Відповідає сучасній префектурі Каґава.

Короткі відомості
Утворена у 7 столітті. Її адміністративний центр знаходився у сучасному місті Сакаіде.

Санукі була місцем народження видатного японського мислителя Кукая, і стала невдовзі одним з форпостів буддистської секти Сінґон.

У 1185 у провінції відбулася знаменита битва при Ядзіма між самурайськими родами Тайра і Мінамото.

З 13 по середину 14 століття володарями Санукі був рід Ходзьо, який фактично правив у Камакурському сьоґунаті. З встановленням нового сьоґунату у Кіото у 1338 провінція перейшла до роду Хосокава.

У 16 столітті землі Санукі перебували під владою роду Мійосі. Цей рід вів тривалу війну з Одою Нобунаґою і родом Тьосокабе. Останній відібрав провінцію у Мійосі, але був розбитий силами об'єднувача Японії — Тойотомі Хідейосі.

У період Едо (1603—1867) провінція Санукі була фактично поділенна на три частини. Найбільшою керував рід Мацудайра лінії Міто, а рештою — рід Кьоґоку і рід Ікома. В цей час острови Наосіма були відділені від провінції Бідзен і включені до складу Санукі.

У результаті адміністративної реформи 1872 року провінція Санукі була перетворена у префектуру Каґава.

In a large pot over medium heat, whisk the sugar and water together until boiling.
Stop stirring, and continue boiling until it becomes a light amber color. Watch it carefully at this stage, as it will darken quickly.
Over low heat, whisk in the butter cubes until melted. The mixture will foam.
Remove from heat once the butter has melted and whisk in the heavy cream. It will foam when added.
Then stir in the vanilla, and finally the sea salt.
The sauce will thicken as it cools. Store in a glass jar, as you will have more than needed for this recipe.
(Try drizzled over ice cream or brownies – yum!) Keep the extra sauce refrigerated.
Prepare the Salted Caramel Sauce as directed above.
Prepare the Puff Pastry Shells as directed on the box and set aside.
In a bowl, toss together the diced Apple Pears, sugar and cinnamon, to coat.
Heat the seasoned Apple Pears in a large sauté pan, over medium heat. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
Remove from heat and add 2 Tablespoons of the Salted Caramel Sauce. Stir or toss to coat, then spoon the mixture into the waiting puff pastry shells.
Just before serving, drizzle the puffs with the Salted Carmel Sauce.
Can be served warm or cooled, à la carte or à la mode.
