Fox Corp. Taps Local Stations to Launch Fox Soul Streaming Channel
Fox Television Stations has unveiled Fox Soul, an ad-supported streaming channel that blends original talk and lifestyle series with locally produced shows aimed at African American viewers.
Fox Soul, which debuted today, will carry live original talk and informational series from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. PT, followed by two hours of repeats of shows drawn from Fox's 28 owned-and-operated stations, most of which are in major markets. The channel is available free online and offers on-demand access to repeats of recent shows outside of the 6 p.m.-midnight PT block.
"We are proud to debut this African American focused channel, created by and for the members of the black community," said James DuBose, head of programming for Fox Soul. "We intend to inform, inspire, and empower our viewers by meeting their needs for authentic conversations on topics relevant to our lives."
Original series include topical entries including "The Tammi Mac Late Show," hosted by radio personality Tammi Mac, and "On the 7 With Dr. Sean," hosted by Dr. Sean McMillan. "One on One With Keyshia Cole" is an interview series. Locally produced series getting a platform on Fox Soul include "Street Soldiers With Lisa Evers," which has aired on WNYW-TV New York since 2016, and "Later With Leon," a comedy late-night entry that bowed on WFLD-TV Chicago in September.
Fox Soul is an experiment by Fox Television Stations to reach African American viewers via a streaming option at a time when younger viewers are increasingly tuning out of live, linear television. The use of existing locally produced shows to fill out the offering could prove an efficient way for Fox to better amortize its local programming investment.
Fox Soul promises its shows will tackle complicated subjects and "the real topics that affect the everyday lives of the African American community through frank and insightful dialogue with local and national influencers," per Fox.
Mac is a Los Angeles-based radio personality known for her weekday 4-8 p.m. PT slot on KJLH-FM. Fox Soul viewers will be encouraged to call in to the shows a la talk radio through a toll-free number.
"Fox Soul slaps down misnomers about our people and celebrates our culture and our excellence," Mac said. "I could not have asked for a better platform to speak greatness about and into my community. I'm confident our content will live up to its purpose and tagline, 'Our Voice, Our Truth.' "
Here's a rundown of original and locally produced shows set for Fox Soul:
"On the 7 with Dr. Sean"
Hosted by spiritual leader Dr. Sean McMillan, this program tackles the daily hot topics that concern the black community through the lens of unwavering faith and insight.
"The Mike and Donny Show"

"The Tammi Mac Late Show"

Acropolis of Lindos and the picturesque authentic village of Lindos below the acropolis is an absolute must-see when you visit Rhodes. Located 45 km away from Rhodes town, in a wonderful private golf with fabulous sandy beaches, Lindos is a charming place with cobblestone streets and white houses leaning towards the sea. Wonder around the streets where the locals will warmly greet you or if you feel bored of walking just hire a donkey to do the donkey work for you!
The cosmopolitan atmosphere here is unique with a plethora of options to make your day whether you are after top class beaches, water sports, bars or cafes with panoramic views, quality restaurants or even a lively nightlife stretching to the early hours of the morning.
Lindos however is not just a famous holiday resort it is also a place of great historical interest. Whether you decide to take a flight of steps yourself or give a try to the donkey ride to ascend on the Acropolis this is something worth seeing from both an archeological perspective as well as for the stunning views offered.
The Acropolis does not initially betray its Hellenistic origins because it has been surrounded by a strong fortification in the Middle Ages by the Knights of St John that used to occupy the island. However once you are inside you will be able to admire the propylaean ruins, the sanctuary of Athena, the Byzantine church of St John and the ruins of an ancient theatre situated on the slope below the Acropolis. And if you are not interested in all this just have your camera ready to capture perhaps one of the best sceneries you will ever see in your life!

Haredi radio station charged with 1 million NIS for gender discrimination
This is the first class action lawsuit on civil rights and gender segregation in Israel.

Kol Barama, a haredi (ultra-Orthodox) radio station, will pay women for excluding them from the air due to a final ruling by the Jerusalem District Court.
The ruling stated that this case "made use of the establishment of the class action as a tool for advancing equality and preventing gender discrimination" for the first time.
Kol Barama broadcasted for two years without a single woman's voice. In 2012, the Israeli Religious Action Center (IRAC) and Asaf Pink filed a class action lawsuit against the station on behalf of Kolech, the Religious Women's Forum, for exclusion of women.
The station will pay 1 million NIS in damages, not including legal fees, which will be transferred to a class action fund that intends to distribute the money to programs that empower religious women.
"This ruling is an important cornerstone in the battle against discrimination and the exclusion of women," said Anat Hoffman, IRAC Executive Director. "Those who discriminate must pay the price. With the start of the Jewish New Year, we will continue to work for social equality, tolerance and justice against discrimination and exclusion."

#TanzaniaDecides: All Seems Set, But You Can't Tell The Frontrunner
Opinion polls are banned so it is unclear who is the frontrunner.
By AFP	 On Oct 27, 2020
Tanzanians head to the polls on Wednesday in an election set to be a litmus test of President John Magufuli's authoritarian style after a five-year crackdown on the opposition and freedom of speech.
Voters on the Tanzanian mainland and semi-autonomous archipelago of Zanzibar will cast their ballots for a president and lawmakers after an energetic campaign which saw massive turnout for both the ruling party and opposition.
Magufuli's main challenger among 15 presidential candidates is Tundu Lissu, 52, of the Chadema opposition party, who returned to the country in July after three years abroad recovering from 16 bullet wounds sustained in what he believes was a politically-motivated assassination attempt.
Lissu's return has re-invigorated an opposition in the doldrums after a ban on political rallies outside of election time, multiple arrests, attacks, and what rights groups have slammed as the squeezing of democracy.
UN secretary general Antonio Guterres issued a statement in New York urging "all political leaders and their supporters to participate in this exercise peacefully and refrain from violence".
In a boost for the opposition's chances, Zitto Kabwe, the head of the popular ACT-Wazalendo party, has endorsed Lissu for the presidency on the mainland, saying he "stands the best chance of beating President Magufuli in the presidential election".
In return, Chadema is backing veteran opposition candidate Seif Sharif Hamad in his sixth bid for the presidency in Zanzibar, this time against the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) candidate Hussein Ali Hassan Mwinyi.
Zanzibar has a history of tense elections and violence, but the campaign has been largely peaceful this year.
The archipelago, where 566,000 registered voters will take part in the polls, wrapped up its election campaigns on Sunday with colourful mass rallies.
On the mainland, just over 29 million registered voters will cast their ballots from 7:00 am (0400 GMT) until 4:00 pm (1300 GMT).
Opinion polls are banned so it is unclear who is the frontrunner and concerns are high over incidents that could mar the vote.
"To my dismay, I have seen and heard reports of government and security representatives disrupting and preventing candidates' ability to campaign freely," US Ambassador Donald Wright wrote in a statement.
"As we get closer to election day, the pace and severity of these disruptions is quickening and deepening."
– Slide into autocracy –
Tanzania has long been seen as a haven of stability in an otherwise volatile neighbourhood, but alarm has grown over a slide into autocracy since Magufuli's election in 2015.
The 60-year-old at first made wildly popular moves such as curbing foreign travel for government officials or showing up in person to make sure civil servants were doing their work.
Then, he banned political rallies and became increasingly intolerant of dissent.
A series of tough media laws were passed, arrests of journalists, activists and opposition members soared and several opposition members were killed.
Magufuli touts his expansion of free education, rural electrification and infrastructure projects such as railways, a hydropower dam set to double electricity output and the revival of the national airline.
"I will surprise you with more development projects if I win. What I did in the last five years is just peanuts," he said at one of his rallies, which have drawn large crowds.
Magufuli's government also passed a raft of laws to increase Tanzania's stake in its mineral resources and demanded millions of dollars in back taxes from foreign mining companies.
However, analysts say Magufuli's hostile approach has alarmed investors.
And while the economy under Magufuli continued to grow at an impressive pre-coronavirus average of six percent, job creation has been "very little" and aggressive tax collection has hurt the private sector and made doing business harder, said Thabit Jacob, a Tanzanian political analyst based in Denmark.
The International Monetary Fund expects growth to slow to 1.9 percent this year.
– 'Death by a thousand cuts' –
The election campaign has taken place with little regard to the coronavirus pandemic. Tanzania stopped giving out official data on infection numbers in April, and Magufuli has declared the country Covid-free, which he attributes to the power of prayer.
The opposition and analysts have expressed serious concerns over how fair the election will be, pointing to the polls body which is made up of commissioners personally appointed by Magufuli.
"You don't expect the electoral commission to announce an opposition victory, this will never happen," said Jacob.
Observers also point to constant efforts to frustrate the opposition's campaign, whether teargassing Lissu's supporters or suspending his rallies for seven days after he raised fears about election fraud.
"There has not been one large event that has really thrown the free and fair moniker off of this election, it has been more a series of small things, death by a thousand cuts if you will," a western diplomat told AFP on condition of anonymity.

If someone handed me several thousand dollars and told me that I must spend it all on one Disney trip (sadly, this has never happened), I imagine I would choose to stay at The Polynesian Village Resort, one of Disney's Deluxe Resorts.
The ambiance is detailed and beautiful, it's the closest I'll get to a Hawaiian vacation anytime soon, the pools are considered to be some of the best at Disney, and being on the monorail line is a really nice plus when staying at Disney.
However, since The Polynesian costs $500 per night (and up), we won't be staying there anytime soon. Instead, we have to simply "settle" for dinner at 'Ohana and enjoy the atmosphere for a single evening.
Which, as you'll see, is not a bad thing at all.
'Ohana (which means "family) is a family-style table service restaurant. While they offer a breakfast character meal with Lilo, Stitch, Pluto, and Mickey Mouse (they do not serve lunch), this review will focus on our family's recent experience, which was for dinner.
1 Is Ohana a buffet?
5 Where Else Can I Get 'Ohana Bread Pudding?
9 How Long is Dinner at 'Ohana?
10 Can I Watch the Fireworks from 'Ohana?
I have also heard that 'Ohana has Coconut Races, but either we missed that or just didn't notice it.
I was slightly apprehensive beforehand because I had read reviews describing 'Ohana as "loud" and "chaotic," and I was afraid it might be a little like a Hawaiian version of Chef Mickey's. However, while I would describe it as "having a fun atmosphere," I didn't find it particularly noisy. Of course, that could be because we there at 8:00pm.
However, if you want to have some fun, you might want to wear something Hawaiian-themed.
The important thing to remember when eating at 'Ohana is that you have to pace yourself. My kids were disappointed that they had filled up too much on noodles and bread (although both were delicious), and Rob's favorite part of the entire meal was the shrimp, which unfortunately for him was the very last thing served before dessert, so he couldn't fill up on it as much as he would have liked.
Now at this point you honestly could say that you had a full, delicious meal … but guess what? That was just the warm-up.
Now it's time for the "main course," which is skewers of Szechuan Sirloin Steak, Sweet-n-Sour Chicken, and Spicy Grilled Peel-n-Eat Shrimp, grilled over an oak fire in the middle of your restaurant and brought to your table one at a time. Peanut sauce and sweet and sour sauce is provided for dipping.
It's a lot of food. Consider yourself warned.
'Ohana's bread pudding is sort of considered the star of the show — or at least the part of the meal that gets the most buzz, by far. It was quite amazing, as anything involving the words "ice cream," "caramel," and "bananas" is obviously going to be.
Since Benjamin is 12 years old, he got the "kids' dessert" of a Rice Krispie Bar decorated with candy. Interestingly, he was happy to have that instead of the Bread Pudding. Those crazy kids.
Where Else Can I Get 'Ohana Bread Pudding?
If you want to dig into this bread pudding but can't, or don't want to, have a full-blown dinner at 'Ohana for whatever reason, you have a few options.
The easiest is to go to the Tambu Lounge connected with 'Ohana and order a single serving of bread pudding to enjoy right in the lounge.
Also, I have heard many times that if you are eating at Kona Cafe (also at the Polynesian, and which we'll discuss more in a moment), you can order the 'Ohana Bread Pudding there, even though it's not listed on the menu.
And if you're lucky enough to be staying at the Polynesian Village Resort, you can order the bread pudding at any time via room service.
'Ohana offers several alcoholic specialty drinks. I ordered the Tropical Macaw, which is made with Coruba Coconut Rum, Melon Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, and Cranberry Juice. I believe Rob had a Pina Colada.
Dinner is $46 per person, and the price for children ages 3-9 is $26.
Was it worth the hefty price tag? Your mileage might vary, but I would say yes.
How Long is Dinner at 'Ohana?
People often want to know how to time their 'Ohana dinner with getting back in time for an evening FastPasss reservation at the Magic Kingdom.
In a sense we were lucky, because the only reservation we could get was at 8:00pm, which made "getting back to the park" a non-issue.
I would personally recommend not trying to squeeze in a FastPass after 'Ohana. First of all, a big part of 'Ohana is the "experience," so you want to enjoy it and not get stressed out (as I would be) checking your watch every few minutes and worrying if you're going to be late.
Second, things like that always take longer than you think they will (or at least they do in my world). Paying the bill will take longer than it should have. The monorail will run late. It will take you longer to get back to the park than you estimated. Someone will need to go to the bathroom. It makes me feel stressed out just thinking about it!
A third point that's worth mentioning is that after eating at 'Ohana, you'll probably be so full that you can barely move, let alone want to go sprinting through Tomorrowland to go ride Space Mountain.
But to answer the question — I would say to allow 75-90 minutes for the actual meal, plus an additional 15-20 minutes to get seated.
Can I Watch the Fireworks from 'Ohana?
Since The Polynesian is literally walking distance from the Magic Kingdom, it makes sense to assume that it's a great place to watch Wishes, the nighttime fireworks show.
While that can work, the reality is a little different. You may very well not be able to get a window seat — and if you can, you may not be thrilled to have many new "family" members appear at your table.
While we have never tried this ourselves, I've heard that a better idea is to head to the Polynesian Beach (particularly an area called Sunset Point) after dinner to view the fireworks.
Finally, the question often pops up as to which is better, 'Ohana or Kona Cafe, which is another table service restaurant at the Polynesian. In fact, we originally had reservation for Kona Cafe and I ended up changing it to 'Ohana just a couple weeks before our trip.
I've been to both (although never for breakfast), and while I was very impressed with our meal at Kona Cafe, I would recommend 'Ohana if you're trying to decide between one of the other.
3) You don't like the idea of a ton of food.
The food [at 'Ohana] really appeals to us and it is all you care to eat. There are also some greater benefits I think with a 2 year old. As I'm sure you know, eating out with a toddler isn't always easy. Ohana is a much bigger restaurant if you need to take a walk and there are more distractions which may keep him entertained.
For starters, there are big windows looking outside if you are lucky enough to get sat close to one and not in the center section. They also have a guy that walks around singing and playing the ukulele as well as occasional activities for the kids such as pushing a coconut around the room with a broom.
The one thing that concerns me and keeps me from booking an ADR at Ohana (even though I REALLY want to try the dinner there!) is that what the adults get, the kids get. There's no kid's menu. And if you have a picky kid (like I do), you'll be paying for a meal that isn't eaten and leaving with a child you still need to feed. That can get really pricey really quickly when the child is 10, so you're forced to pay the adult price.
Ohana needs a kid's menu!!!
PegP, I would encourage you to try Ohana. There are so many options (and one of them is noodles!) that is seems like there is something your child would like. The meats all come with different dipping sauces, so if your child is a "dipper," that could help.
Also, you can get as much of any food as you like, so even if your child eats nothing but the dumplings, they can eat a ton of them.
I didn't think the food was "weird" or having an unusually strong or spicy flavor. And my kids are older now, but I don't remember there being anything on the menu that anyone said they didn't like.

Филиппа Елизавета Шарлотта Орлеанская (), мадмуазель де Божоле (; ) — французская принцесса из Орлеанского дома Бурбонов, дочь Филиппа II, герцога Орлеанского. Умерла от оспы в 19 лет.

Жизнь
Филиппа Елизавета была пятой выжившей дочерью в семье и была известна как мадемуазель де Божоле. Её назвали в честь бабушки и дедушки по отцовской линии, Филиппа I Орлеанского и Елизаветы Шарлотты Пфальцской. Она воспитывалась в монастыре со своей младшей сестрой Луизой Дианой Орлеанской. Её бабушка, Елизавета Шарлотта Пфальцская, была очень привязана к своей внучке; она почти каждый день навещала её во дворце в Париже.

С 1715 года отец Филиппы Елизаветы был фактическим правителем Франции как регент малолетнего короля Людовика XV. В 1718 году между Францией и Испанией разразилась Война четверного альянса. В 1720 году король Испании Филипп V хотел заключить мир и предложил тройной брак; его 3-летняя дочь, инфанта Марианна Виктория, выйдет замуж за 15-летнего Людовика XV; его старший сын и наследник, инфант Луис, женится на одной из дочерей регента; а Филиппа выйдет замуж за инфанта Карла, младшего сына Филиппа V. В 1721 году её 11-летняя сестра прибыла в Мадрид.

Её будущий муж должен был стать правителем Тосканы, поскольку его сводный брат Луис был наследником престола Испании. Приданое составило 400 тысяч экю от короля Франции, 40 тысяч экю от её отца и 50 тысяч экю в драгоценностях от короля Испании. Было также много подарков от короля Людовика XV. Регент и герцог Шартрский проводили её до Бур-ла-Рейна, как и Луизу Елизавету годом ранее. Её также сопровождал сводный брат Жан-Филипп-Франсуа Орлеанский.

В Буитраго-дель-Лосоя она встретилась с королевской семьёй, включая короля Филиппа V, королеву Изабеллу, свою сестру, принца Астурийского Луиса и своего жениха инфанта Карлоса.

Её отношения с сестрой никогда не были хорошими, но испортились ещё больше, когда очаровательная Филиппа привела в восхищение весь испанский двор своей красотой и острым умом. Её помолвка с Карлом была позже расторгнута и она вернулась во Францию в 1728 году. Отъезд из Филиппы был опечалил двор, потому что в отличие от её старшей сестры Луизы Елизаветы, которая никогда не была популярна при дворе, мадмуазель де Божоле пользовалась популярностью.

Когда её бывший жених стал герцогом Пармским в 1731 году, надежды Филиппы и её матери на брак возродились. Её мать отправилась к маркизу де Бисси, послу Франции в Парме, от которого узнала, что Карл предан своей несостоявшейся невесте и трепетно хранит кольцо, подаренное ему Филиппой. При поддержке герцогини Орлеанской, де Бисси отправился к самому инфанту, который сообщил о своём желании жениться на Филиппе и просил его сделать для этого всё возможное.

В 1733 году разразилась Война за польское наследство, что привело к изменению международных отношений. Позднее эта война сделала Карла королём Обеих Сицилий. Филиппа не увидела того дня, когда её возлюбленный стал королём: она тихо жила во дворце в Баньоле, где умерла от оспы в возрасте 19 лет. Французский писатель Матьё Маре писал о смерти принцессы:
 Все рыдают, и я тоже; она была очаровательной принцессой.

Она была похоронена в Валь-де-Грасе в день своей смерти.

In the movie Chef, when Carl Casper assembled Cubanos, slathering ample sauce on stiff bread, stuffing it with pickles, grilling its buttered exterior and handing it out from his food truck, we got hungry for Cuban sandwiches. In Mumbai, Sweetish House Mafia, brainchild of Neha Arya Sethi achieved similar feat last year with her cookie-dispensing Nano parked at undisclosed locations. "I had just come back from America. While studying and working in Philadelphia and New York, I got to eat at amazing food trucks. Taking a leaf out, I introduced something similar," says Sethi. The banker-turned-baker sparked a movement that is speeding like never before.
In the same year, The Lalit Food Truck Company too launched in Delhi. While international trucks serve exquisite grub like chocolate and sea salt paletas, rosemary fries, fried chicken biscuits, artisan empadanas and likes, this brainchild of executive director Keshav Suri from The Lalit Suri Hospitality Group was one of the first to serve Mexican food in this format. "We realised there was a dearth of good Mexican cuisine in Delhi, so our truck started out with quesadillas, tacos and tortilla wraps," he says about his one-year-old venture.
While Bangalore already has a thriving food truck culture, Delhi and Ahmedabad and are picking pace slowly. Two new trucks on Mumbai's radar are the dainty white van by Sassy Spoon and the red Bombay Food Truck. While the former is simply a teaser for the food you can get at the restaurant (think bun-maska, sugar-free desserts and clotted cream and scones), BFT will dispense food along the way (the menu is still under wraps until the licence requirements are met). We wonder what this red vehicle will doll out. Any guesses?
The show celebrates the tastiest food from the streets of north America. From pizzas baked in built-in truck ovens to Tijuana-style tacos – Eat St. stars food mavericks who are taking creativity to another level with their mobile meals.
A reality television series, The Great Food Truck Race hosts cook offs between the most popular food trucks from Los Angeles, Malibu, New York and other regions of America. The high-on-drama show is a food lover's delight, with its Californian ingredient-inspired beach cuisine, twisted comfort foods, gourmet grilled cheese and Cuban coffee and cuisine dispensing trucks.

Q: Regexp and accent I'm working on a word censor.
I have this text :
$str = "Je connais ce con de conémi".

I want to replace "con" if it's a whole word, not in a another one.
If I do this :
preg_replace("/\b(con)\b/i", "###", $str);

the result is :
"Je connais ce ### de ###émi".

Conémi has been censored.
This is because of the "é" of conémi.

A: Just add u regex modifier
preg_replace("/\b(con)\b/iu", "###", $str)
                          ^--- here it is

or alternative solution is to use PCRE unicode characters:
preg_replace("/(?<=\p{Z}|\p{P}|^)con(?=\p{Z}|\p{P}|$)/i", "###", $str);

Bronx man brings indy wrestling to Hunts Point
By Arthur Cusano
Battle Club Pro presents its first live event October 1 featuring nine independent wrestling matches.
Courtesy of Battle Club Pro
Like many men his age, Carlos Aristy grew up watching professional wrestling on TV while growing up in the Bronx.
"I was a typical kid watching wrestling late at night, with my friend, when no adults were watching", he said. "I'm still a fan of the product. I watch it whenever I can."
On Saturday, October 1, Aristy will turn that love of the sport into a local spectacle as he presents 'Battle by the 6,' the first live event for his Battle Club Pro independent wrestling company.
He said he has worked to video and edit local matches for years, and after taking courses at Bronx Community College and BronxNet he was ready to branch out on his own.
Independent wrestling, according to Aristy's website, is "an environment teeming with competitors who carry big dreams, and employ various methods of achieving them; some noble, and others questionable at best."
That description certainly fits the bill – among those on the card include Chris Dickenson, who became a controversial viral sensation after pummeling a female opponent in an inter-gender match last year.
He will take on Anthony Bowens, the champion of New Jersey's popular Wrestlepro organization.
Also appearing is a popular Canadian grappler known as Space Monkey, who wears a chimp mask and a space suit.
He will take on the Bronx's own Cave Man, who would be right at home in a GEICO insurance ad.
Cave Man wrestles for Bronx Wrestling Federation, which broadcasts matches in both English and Spanish and features Mexican and other Latino athletes.
Add to that seven other matches including a seven-man gauntlet match and a women's match for Breast Cancer Awareness Month and you have a full slate of entertainment that is truly independent and anything but fake.
"Wrestling is scripted, but everything they do in the ring is real," he said. "They end up with broken noses and fingers."
Most of the men and women who enter the ring do so in their spare time, Aristy said, as a second job or simply for their own entertainment.
Two weeks before the event, the 28 year-old is busy with organizing the event, which will be held at The Point community center at 940 Garrison Avenue at 8 p.m.
A husband, father and employee at a luxury Jewelry retailer in Manhattan by day, he enters the less glamorous world of masks and spandex by night as he plans the debut event from his Third Avenue home.
Independent wrestling is a big deal. Promotional leagues can be found across the country, and several already exist in the city, mostly in Queens and Brooklyn Another independent league, Wrestler's Laboratory, is hosting their first event in the Bronx in the same ring right before Arsity's event as part of a double-header.
"You don't even need a TV deal anymore, as far as exposure, you can just post it on YouTube and put your paid ad on the page," he explained.
Tickets are $20 online for adults, and children 12 and under get in free.
More information on 'Battle by the 6' can be found at Battleclubpro.com, with updates posted on the group's Facebook page.

COVIDs Hidden Promise: Future Work Design Is Agile Innovation
COVIDs Hidden Promise: Future ...
As organizations plan for a future where COVID-19 is no longer a health threat, leaders are setting the stage for what is sometimes called "return to work." Leaders are tempted to pronounce broad policies, that are often inconsistent from one organization to another. They are tempted to solve the thorny issues presented by a workforce with increasingly diverse roles, needs and preferences by searching for policies that are "fair," because they can be applied consistently to everyone. These approaches lead to predictable "one-size-fits-all" dilemmas and problems.
But, what choice do leaders have, when the future of work is so diverse and unpredictable?
What if your return-to-work policy was this: "To all of our valued managers, employees and non-employee workers: We don't know what the future of work will be. However, we DO know that all of you have learned to innovate continually, as you have crafted your work to meet the unprecedented opportunities and challenges of the pandemic. So, instead of one policy applied to everyone, our 'policy' will be to invite and equip you to design your work through agile innovation and experimentation."
Return-To-Work Policies Are Diverse and Inconsistent
Twitter and Square announced in May, 2020 that their employees could "work from home forever." At about the same time, Jamie Dimon announced that he expects a gradual return to the office, with lasting damage if workers don't return, and encourages leaders to cautiously re-open cities as workers return. Google extended their work-from-home policies by a year, to summer 2021, and plan to accommodate remote work indefinitely. Microsoft offered all of its employees the option of working from home less than 50% of the time without approval. Similarly, Morgan Stanley and Mondelez have said they will be using hybrid work models going forward. Meantime, a June 2020 article in The New York Times reports the decades of setbacks that suggest that remote work may be more perilous than many such policies reflect. Moreover, such policies provide few answers to the thorny issues that workers and managers will confront. Well-intended leadership pronouncements, while newsworthy and perhaps immediately satisfying, are not the same as a considered approach to learn the lessons of today's crisis, choose which lessons to sustain into the future, and implement the nuanced changes that will produce that sustainable change.
McKinsey reports: Across all sectors, 15 percent of executives surveyed amid the pandemic said at least one-tenth of their employees could work remotely two or more days a week going forward, almost double the 8 percent of respondents who expressed that intention before COVID-19. This varies by country, with 20 percent of executives surveyed in the United Kingdom and Germany saying that at least one-tenth of their employees could work remotely two or more days a week going forward, which drops to only 4 percent among respondents in China. Extending remote work beyond two days a week, however, was less popular among respondents overall, with just 7 percent saying at least one-tenth of their employees could work three or more days a week remotely. Yet, more than 60 percent of workers in the US economy cannot work remotely. The potential for remote work is highly concentrated in a handful of sectors, such as information and technology, finance and insurance, and management, and executives from those sectors show greater intent to deploy their employees remotely. Most of the companies that have announced plans for greater remote work among their employees are from the technology of finance sectors, notably Facebook, Twitter, and Hitachi.
If your organization has some workers who can easily work remotely and others who must work on-site, what is your logic for insuring equity while optimizing work arrangements? Many organizations try to achieve "equity" through "equal treatment," requiring the same arrangements for everyone, which likely optimizes work for no one.
Is it a Success if Workers Comply with Even Poorly-Designed Work Policies?
Far too often, well-meaning CEO's and other top leaders offer pronouncements that are naïve, old-fashioned, reflect wishful thinking that the old ways of working will magically return, or built on flimsy logic that is not evidence-based. Of course, many managers and workers will go along with whatever policies the CEO proposes, such as: "at least 2 days on site," or "work from home forever," or "frequently arrange to meet with your team in person," or "everyone must live close enough to one of our buildings that they can work in our building if called." COVID-19 has revealed that your employees and managers are capable of immense inventiveness. Faced with mandated policies from the CEO, some workers will apply their new-found inventiveness to comply with even poorly-crafted return-to-work policies. They will "make do" within the constraints of corporate policies, just as they often did before.
Is compliance a measure of success? Even as you celebrate that your workers adjusted to a new corporate "return-to-work" policy, your organization may be squandering a unique opportunity: Your organization's newly-developed capabilities for agile and innovative work design would be much more productive and inclusive if you unleashed them as a new source of innovation.
Your Workers Expect to Innovate in Crafting Their Work
In response to the disruptions of 2020, your workers have learned to be agile and innovative as they redesigned and re-crafted their work, to overcome unprecedented work challenges, to create new and more productive working arrangements, and to be agile in the face of changing circumstances, goals and demands. In the same way that World War II motivated an influx of women into the workforce that signaled a permanent change in women's role in the economy, the COVID-induced work design innovations likely signal a permanent change in workers' desire for greater discretion and capability to innovatively design their work.
Perhaps real estate investments signal long-term effects. If so, then it's notable that many corporate real estate units are closing offices to capitalize on remote work. Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company, for instance, recently announced that it would close five offices in smaller cities around the United States and have employees there work remotely. Workers are investing in home improvements that create workable office spaces and relocating to homes that are further from city centers or in smaller towns. Even Airstream, the maker of the iconic aluminum travel trailers, recently announced new designs with sleeping areas that convert to a home office suitable for video conferencing.
In short, your workers have learned to apply agile innovation to their work, and are unlikely to go back to how it was before. If you restrict their options, some will go along with your policies. But, many will leave. Just imagine how your workers would react if your return-to-work approach is a mandated corporate policy, and your competitor offers them the opportunity to design their work through agile experiments?
Yet, work design is seldom been approached as agile innovation. As John Boudreau, Ravin Jesuthasan, and David Creelman have described in Lead the Work, the tradition is to bundle work into jobs and hierarchies, bundle workers' capabilities into jobholders, and assume that HR will keep this system running as change occurs. In Beyond HR, we described the pitfalls of a tradition that often establishes a system of jobs and work policies that apply equally to all, and stick to it. So, it's quite understandable that most leaders give very little thought to work design, and certainly do not consider work design as a potential opportunity for agile innovation.
Policies Without Answers or Engagement
If your policies provide no compelling rationale, workers will be frustrated and disengaged even if they comply.
Just consider the questions posed by a very typical corporate policy about post-COVID work: "Everyone should work at least 3 days on-site unless they get approval from their manager." Your workers and managers might well ask:
Why did you choose "three days a week?" Why not one, or two or five?
What is a "site?" Does it mean a location owned by our company, or could it mean a home-office duly equipped and approved as a suitable work-site based on company guidelines?
What is a "day?" Does it mean the hours between 9am and 4pm local time, or some extended period? Does it mean the working days of the week, excluding weekends? Or, does it mean any of the seven days of the week?
What does "work" mean? Does it mean work that involves in-person contact with others at that site? Or, can it mean that I sit in my office alone working on my computer doing the same work that I could do at my kitchen table or in my home office?
We think the common response from managers, leaders and HR professionals will be something like, "Oh, you know what we mean, just do the right thing." We fully expect your people will fall in line and find a way to meet such policies, but that is hardly an indicator that these questions were answered sufficiently, and certainly not an indicator that you have optimized work to fit your emerging challenges and opportunities.
No matter which grand policy statement you adopt, no policy can possibly account for all of the diverse work situations that have evolved during COVID. Without the freedom and tools to explore new work designs, your policy is doomed to become another bureaucratic pronouncement from the top, to which your people reluctantly and silently acquiesce even if they don't agree or understand. Your managers and leaders, left without guidance or tools, are ill-equipped to explore innovations and identify when exceptions offer real opportunity, so they default to simply requiring that people follow the policy.
The Answer: Work Design as Agile Innovation
Now, consider an alternative: Make work design a true target for agile innovation. Seen in this way, questions like those above are no longer bothersome nagging complaints to be dispensed with, in order to get on with implementing the standard policy. Instead, such questions become opportunities for experimentation and learning.
What if your return-to-work policy was this: "We don't know what the future of work will be. However, we DO know that you have all learned to innovate continually, as you have crafted your work to meet the unprecedented opportunities and challenges of the pandemic. So, instead of a policy applied to everyone, our 'policy' will be to equip you and your managers to design your work through agile experimentation."
What could be more inclusive than welcoming new and different ideas about work — the thing that your workers arguably know the most about, and that matters most to them? What could demonstrate leadership empathy, openness and shared accountability than to give your workers a true "voice" in how their work is designed?
We have often found it useful to "retool" the way leaders think about work, organization and people, by having them reframe the people issues using an accepted framework from other disciplines. In this case, retooling invites you to consider the parts of your business where you already apply agile innovation. It might be your product development, marketing, digital transformation, or others. What are the frameworks, principles and decision rules that guide experimentation in those arenas? What if you took those frameworks and substituted "work design" as the focus, in place of product development, manufacturing excellence, R&D, etc.?
For example, your existing agile innovation frameworks likely follow principles such as:
Learn the Lessons from Failures
Don't kill questions or ideas too early
See challenges to the status quo as opportunities
Today, in your existing agile innovation hubs, you equip leaders with tools for nurturing lots of ideas while keeping a focus on the overall goal. You equip workers with the freedom and opportunity to ask tough questions, challenge accepted wisdom, listen and translate the voice of customers into new ideas, and to fail productively. You celebrate the innovations that fail, understanding that's necessary to find the ones that are truly transformative.
Why not apply these same ideas to work design?
For example, some organizations' return-to-work plans include phrasing such as, "We need HR to help leaders deal with employee complaints by explaining why our system requires that they give up some flexibility as we return to work." Let's "retool" this using your agile innovation framework: This seems a lot like telling agile product designers, "We need customer service associates to deal with customer complaints by explaining why our product or service can't be changed for them?" Any agile innovation designer would immediately point out that agile innovation principles support rethinking customer "complaints" as "opportunities for innovation," and changing the culture and mindset accordingly. Why not do the same regarding your employee "complaints" about your new work system post-COVID?
Of course, work design is far more personal for your employees than the design of products/services, manufacturing processes, etc. An employee or leader whose has invested in a home or lifestyle that favors remote work will perhaps be less objective about work design than if they were on an agile innovation team designing a new product. Work design is personal. Work design will need to take account of a diverse array of workers, some of whom may not traditionally have been offered a strong voice, newer workers who have not yet gained prominence, or even future workers whose voices have yet to be heard. This is no reason to abandon agile innovation in work design, just as a lack of "objectivity" by certain customers is no reason to abandon agile innovation in product design using customer focus groups. Indeed, it seems promising to consider your current and future workers as the customers for your organization's work design innovations.
Not Chaos: Targeted and Logical Agile Experimentation
Does this mean unleashing a chaotic upheaval where everyone's work is now uncertain and subject to a radical redesign? Of course not. As much as it might delight social scientists like Boudreau, we are not recommending that you turn your organization into one big work design experiment, at the expense of your broad strategic goals and alignment.
You already have tools that target agile innovation where it is most strategically pivotal, and that help you determine where innovation is justified and where it is not. For example, if you're innovating in product/service design, you might choose to experiment with certain features in a "controlled" part of your product/service, or perhaps in certain markets where the costs of mistakes are less. The other parts of the product and markets remain stable, so that you can keep selling products even as you innovate. However, even the parts of the product/service that are not actively experimenting can still pursue elements of agile innovation, such as gathering and evaluating suggestions for improvement, using analytics to identify potential flaws in your system, etc.
Unconstrained innovation everywhere is no recipe for balancing today's goals with preparing for the future. On the other hand, the correct balance is rarely achieved by prohibiting all agile innovation. In the same way, pronouncing a single broad return-to-work policy prohibits agile innovation in work design.
The better approach to traditional innovation involves a systemic assessment to identify where the benefits of agile innovation outweigh the costs. As you innovate more, that balance changes, because the costs of agile innovation go down as you have more practice with it. The same can be true for agile innovation in work design.
Can HR Lead Agile Innovation in Work Design?
As with all agile innovations, top leaders must ultimately be accountable. Still, agile innovation is typically executed byline or functional leaders in their own units. In applying agile innovation in areas such as operations, product development, marketing, etc., the role of the functions such as finance, legal, IT, and even HR is generally limited to participating as a supporting "business partner" with their client groups.
However, work exists everywhere in your organization. So, agile innovative work design doesn't easily fit in one arena like product, manufacturing, operations or R&D. So, what function or discipline should lead and drive agile innovation in work design? This is your opportunity to challenge the CHRO and HR organization to expand beyond their traditional role as a supporting partner to the business units. Instead, HR can become a hub for agile experimentation and learning applied to work design. Rather than HR taking the role of explaining or enforcing policies and insuring compliance, HR could be accountable for the organization-wide approach to agile innovation in work design.
HR would develop agile tools and frameworks, collaborating with your agile innovation experts to modify existing successful tools and apply them to work design. HR would lead in equipping and training managers and their workers to apply agile design tools to work design, and to evaluate and monitor results. HR would become the repository for lessons learned in targeted experiments, and would be accountable for integrating and translating those lessons for the entire organization. HR would develop and constantly improve your frameworks and resources to support a system for agile innovation in work design, including what work means, where and when work is done, and how work value is created and shared among organizations, workers and society.
This is different from "agile HR," which often refers to the important work of using agile principles to transform the processes and activities of the HR function itself (such as talent sourcing, pay, benefits, learning, experience, information systems). In contrast, we are describing is "agile work innovation," which spans your entire organization, supported by your HR organization.
Why not establish this relationship with your CHRO and HR function?
Before you rush to pronounce one broad organizational policy for "return to work," take a moment and consider changing your approach from a search for the best policy to agile innovative work design.

Within the PermaTree FoodForest we grow high diversity of fruits.
Pitahaya is a producing cactus of the genus Hylocereus, originally native to central and northern South America. The dragon fruit is cultivated throughout tropical and subtropical world regions.
Taste: Sweetest and finest of all pitahayas. 100% sweetness when riped.
As the nutrient content of raw Pitahaya has not been thoroughly analyzed as of 2018, the US Department of Agriculture reports one limited entry from a manufacturer, showing that a 100 gram amount of Pitahaya contains 268 calories, 82% carbohydrates, 4% protein, and 11% of the Daily Value each for vitamin C and calcium (table).
Why is the yellow dragon fruit (known as pitahaya in Ecuador) so popular and why should we be eating it? The health benefits of dragon fruit are plentiful, with high concentrations of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. The Chinese have used dragon fruit for hundreds of years as a natural aid to help facilitate digestion and decrease cholesterol and some research has indicated it helps prevent certain cancers and diabetes.
High dietary fiber found in the fruit helps greatly in your digestive system, allowing a quick flush of toxins accumulated in your body, lest lighten the detoxifying-workload of your primary organ, liver, and maintaining optimal health. It is highly suitable for individuals and pregnant women who experience constipation issues.
Dragonfruit contains lots of iron essential for the production of red blood cells, which is beneficial to individuals who experience anemia. For pregnant ladies especially, high volume of oxygen and nutrients carried by red blood cells is needed to supply to the fetus in the womb, therefore it is highly recommended to include dragonfruit into their daily diet.
An excellent source of mono-unsaturated fats, it lowers the risks of developing heart disease and high blood pressure by decreasing bad cholesterol levels and replenishing good levels.

Peanut butter toast and I go a long way back. When I was a kid, I was so picky that I refused to eat cereal and sandwiches. I would, however, happily eat peanut butter on toast, so I ate peanut butter on toast every single morning for breakfast.
Here's how my morning routine went. Every morning, after staying up too late reading Nancy Drew books in bed the night before, I dragged my sleepy little self and my latest Nancy Drew book over to the table. A plate of peanut butter toast would magically appear before me (thanks, Mom), which I would savor as I read my book. The corners of my old Nancy Drew collection are smudged with peanut butter stains—a fact that lies somewhere between cute and gross.
Eventually, I learned to like cereal and sandwiches, but neither are my favorite foods. I still stay up too late at night, and I'm always happy with peanut butter on toast (or avocado on toast, but that's a different post). These days, I like to add a drizzle of honey, and sometimes bananas, to my peanut butter toast.
This baked French toast dish is an adult spin on my old favorite. Hearty whole grain bread, soaked in a rich custard and studded with bananas that caramelize in the oven. All that, finished with a drizzle of peanut butter and maple syrup. Total comfort food. It's a perfect holiday breakfast/brunch menu item that will stick with your guests until dinner time.
If anyone wants to geek out over the recipe details with me, I'll explain why the recipe is written as it is below. First of all, most French toast recipes call for stale bread, but who actually has stale bread lying around when they need it? I took a cue from America's Test Kitchen and dried my slices of fresh bread out in the oven a bit beforehand, which helps the bread soak up the custard mixture. I suspect that's why this French toast does not require an overnight soak before baking. It might be better that way, but it's really fantastic if you just mix it all up and bake it.
Also, I tried spreading peanut butter on the bread before baking, but the peanut butter dried out in the oven and lost its warm, gooey appeal. The maple syrup and peanut butter drizzle bypasses that issue. If you're not aiming for presentation points, you could just serve warm slices of baked French toast with a jar of peanut butter and maple syrup on the side. Add a Nancy Drew book, if you'd like.
I used my favorite whole grain sandwich bread for this recipe, which is made by Farm to Market here in Kansas City. You can use any bread you would like here, but I really love the nutty flavor of hearty, whole grain bread. It's more filling and nutritious, too. For more information about the health benefits of whole grains, visit GrainsforYourBrain.org.
Whole grain baked French toast with sliced bananas, drizzled with maple peanut butter sauce. To skip a step, just serve the French toast with peanut butter and maple syrup on the side.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the whole slices of bread on a large baking sheet and bake them for 8 minutes, turning halfway. This dries out the bread a little so it soaks up more of the egg mixture.
In a mixing bowl, scramble the eggs, then whisk in the milk, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Melt the butter in the microwave or over the stove. Whisk the honey into the melted butter before pouring it into the egg mixture.
Grease a 9 by 9-inch baker. Cut most of the slices of bread in half, and the last couple of slices into quarters. Arrange the halved slices in the baker in rows, as shown in the pictures above, to make a roughly even layer of bread. Fill in the empty spots with the smaller pieces of bread.
Peel and slice the bananas into ¼-inch wide rounds. One by one, stick the banana slices in between the slices of bread at random. Slowly drizzle the egg mixture over the bread. Use your hands to press down on the bread so it is fully submerged in the egg mixture for a few seconds (it's ok to squish the bread a little). Wash your hands, then generously sprinkle the French toast with a couple teaspoons of raw sugar. Bake until the top is golden and the custard is set in the center, around 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes.
To make the peanut butter drizzle, heat the maple syrup in small pan over low heat (you can also do this in the microwave). Whisk in ⅓ cup peanut butter or more, until it suits your tastes (keep in mind that the French toast is pretty sweet already). Remove from heat. Let the French toast cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into 6 large or 8 smaller servings. Serve with maple peanut butter sauce.
Roughly adapted from Alton Brown, Bobby Deen and America's Test Kitchen.
You can prepare the French toast up to 24 hours in advance. Once you've drizzled the egg mixture over the bread, cover the baker and place it in the refrigerator until you're ready to bake it. Or, bake the French toast as directed, let it cool, and store it in the refrigerator overnight. When you're ready to serve, reheat it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until warmed through.

Ohhh wowow. This look so good. I can not wait to make this. French toast is one of my favorites. And this needs to happen asap in my kitchen.
This looks positively radiant! Easy enough to make at my father-in-law's house for Christmas morning who has nary a mixing bowl to his name. xo thank you Kate!
Hope your family loves the French toast, Claire! Happy holidays!
This looks unbelievably perfect!! French toast is m favorite.
Kathryne, I'm a longtime peanut butter toast girl too! And I love PB and banana sandwiches. Your banana french toast with PB drizzle ….. yum! Sign me up for this grown up version too.
I hope all is well with you and the holidays are treating you right!
P.S. Love the image of you with your nose in a Nancy Drew book. Very cute.
Heheh I think you and I had similar childhoods – I used to read before bed, but rather than peanut butter toast, I always had an apple in hand. I was never really a big french toast fan, but this version sounds so good that I think I need to give it a try!
I feel like we would have gotten along well as kids – I always had my nose in a book as well. Ha! Honestly, peanut butter and banana are like a match made in heaven. This dish looks so yummy!
Oh man, maple syrup peanut butter sauce? Just put that in a Nalgene with a straw for me, please. Yum.
Thank you, Quinn. I hope your family loves the baked French toast!
You had me at the peanut butter drizzle!
This sounds so friggin' good. My little kid and adult self love French toast, bananas and PB. Love the throwback to Nancy Drew, too!
Oh how I miss staying up late reading Nancy Drew books! It was always the best when you could figure out the mystery. I've never had baked french toast but this one looks delicious and would be a great family breakfast!
I love this! A genius spin on the classic peanut butter banana toast!
Heck yes, Kate! This sounds sooooo good, I love peanut butter toast, too (also, peanut butter/honey grilled sandwiches!) and with the addition of banana and drizzly maple-peanut butter? Oh yes. We host an annual after-Christmas Breakfast for Dinner party and fill people up with comfort food and booze after all the crazines of the holiday has subsided…. I'm thinking this is a perfect dish for feeding our crowd some dang amazing french toast! Cheers!
Hey Sophie! How have I never tasted peanut butter and honey grilled sandwich?! I'm making one as soon as I polish off all of this French toast. Love the idea of an after-Christmas B4D party! I hope your guests enjoy the French toast!
Nancy Drew and Sweet Valley Twins were the only novels I read as a kid. Haha. So cute you still read the former. OMG.. pb + banana in bread pudding has been on my list of things to make.. I love the combo too. I have made this over a griddle, but I have to bake it next time. I love healthy recipes.
I eat PB+J on a toasted english muffin every morning! I guess old habits die hard. And are delicious. This French toast definitely takes that idea up a few notches!
Yeahhh! Glad to hear that you're a fellow pb on toast girl.
This French toast looks incredible. Having this for breakfast will surely make my day. You mentioned Nancy Drew. It was the Hardy Boys for me growing up.
To this day peanut butter toast is one of my favorite go-to breakfasts. This french toast sounds fantastic!
Hey Katie! Great question. I've been the only one eating this French toast for days, and the leftovers are great. If you happen to have a smaller baker than 9×9 (like 9×6-ish), you could make less by using 6 slices of bread and 1.5 cups milk (leave the other ingredients about the same). I threw the leftovers of my first attempt in the freezer, but whether or not it is good defrosted is TBD.
This looks so delicious!! I love peanut butter and bananas!! YUM!
I have never read Nancy Drew. I love the peanut butter drizzle! Yum!
I've seen a few recipes for tray-baked French toast in the past few days, I think that means I'm supposed to make it..! For some reason I've only ever fried individual pieces before; this method seems much more efficient for a crowd (or for one very hungry person, haha). LOVE pb&banana, particularly with honey or maple syrup. Looks divine, thanks Kate!
This dish is absolutely incredible! Banana and peanut butter are magic together!
Looks fabulous, Kate! Peanut Butter and bananas are one of my favorite things!
Angie, thanks for commenting! I haven't gotten much feedback on this recipe but I loved it. Glad you enjoyed it, too, and from all the way in Alaska! I bet it is killer with your homemade bread. I'm traveling to Minneapolis in a couple of months to attend baking classes hosted by King Arthur Flour, so I hope to learn a thing or two about baking bread while I'm there. I usually get so intimidated by the process that I don't even try. Oops!
I hope I leave with some great bread recipes, yes! I think I'll be less intimidated once I get some hands-on experience. Hope your week is off to a great start!
I used to LOVE Nancy Drew books when I was little! I totally forgot about them until now!
Thanks for the link, Kelly! Your French toast looks scrumptious.
Awesome! I'm so glad the French toast turned out well for you, Megan. I appreciate your feedback!
I just made this for a post-Christmas dinner breakfast. It was such a hit!
First of all, I would just like to mention that this blog has changed the game for me as a newbie vegetarian. Anyway, I just made this recipe and, being the resourceful college student that I am, baked it in a muffin tin. I ended up with little banana french toast muffins! So delicious AND cute.
Hooray!!! Thank you, Audrey! Great idea to bake these into muffins. Yum.
I have made a dozen of your recipes and always loved them. They turn out perfectly. This one however smelled amazing but was a total flop. Mine was toasted on top and still 'wet' on the bottom half after an hour and a half.
This looks great. Do you know if I can freeze it? And can I refrigerate leftovers and reheat them?
This is delicious. I made a half batch in a small baking dish and it was done in about 55 minutes in my convection oven. The top was a bit crispy, but in a wonderful way. I'll definitely be making this again!

Mitch McConnell to Kentucky Capitol: Lose the Jefferson Davis Statue
The Senate majority leader told reporters Tuesday that the memorial belongs in a museum, not the statehouse.
Nora KellyNational Journal
Confederate president Jefferson Davis is memorialized in the South through myriad monuments and statues. He's inside the Capitol's marbled Statuary Hall. His "White House" is open to tourists in Richmond. And there's a highway in South Carolina named for him.
But at a press conference on Tuesday, in the midst of a national debate over the propriety of Confederate images, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell identified one place where Davis shouldn't be: the Capitol building in his home state of Kentucky. A statue of Davis stands alongside former President Abraham Lincoln—his Civil War adversary—and other Kentucky-born leaders.
After last week's deadly shooting at a historically black church in Charleston, South Carolina, images emerged of the suspected gunman's affinity for the Confederate flag, spurring debate over whether the Confederate symbol should be represented on state property. According to reporters at the news conference, McConnell said that a "more appropriate" location for the Davis statue would be a state museum. This week, McConnell expressed support for South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's call to remove the Confederate flag from the statehouse grounds in Columbia.
(RELATED: Jeb Bush's Clear Record on the Confederate Flag)
This isn't the first time that Davis's place of honor in the Kentucky Capitol has been questioned. Earlier Tuesday, a Kentucky gubernatorial candidate called for its removal, and last year, a former state treasurer started an online petition to replace Davis's statue with a memorial to boxer Muhammed Ali, who was born in Louisville.
"Every day, Americans of all political stripes are working to transcend the scars left by slavery and its aftermath," the former treasurer, Jonathan Miller, wrote in a blog post in November. "And every day, walking through our Commonwealth's cathedral, our most important citizens—from the officials who lead the state, to the schoolchildren who visit our capital—pass by the white statue that daily pours salt into our nation's deepest wound. "¦ Jefferson Davis, it's time for you to go."
Also Tuesday, Minority Leader Harry Reid said the mascot and nickname of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas—the Runnin' Rebels—should be reconsidered by the school's Board of Regents. The school is well aware of its branding's ties to the Confederacy.

I could not find the phoneplugin folder. I have a dual processor. Help please!
Works great. Note that the linking to the phnne must be acknowledged each time it is run, by pressing the left phone button when requested, with the phone closed..
David, that's not an iSync or plugin problem!
Hey guys thanks for the information. I created a "PhonePlugins" folder under HD/Library and dropped the package. Turned on Bluetooth and it recognized the phone. Clicked on Isync and added device but it tells me that "the device is not supported by Isync". Did I do something wrong here?
Hey – thanks a lot! It works!
BTW, for those who have problems, you have to create a folder named PhonePlugins at that path if it doesn't exist. Quit and restart iSync if you already had it open, and you're all set.
I installed, and everything seemed fine. But then I discovered that several of my calendars (specifically, calendars created by iGTD that contain my todo's) don't sync. I tried adding a "real" event to one of them to see if that forced a sync, but no go.
Otherwise, address book seems ok, and other events seem ok.
Hmmm – it seems to be related to a maximum number of calendars? Anyone else have a similar experience?
I'm having a problem setting this up. I have a directory in Library/Phones/ within the user level, but doesn this need to be replaced by the PhonePlugins/ instead?
Just type your model number in the box on the right hand side.
I tried this plugin with no help to get my nokia n75 synching with my mac. It can establish a connection with the phone but hangs after entering the 'bluetooth mobile phone setup' window, then disconnects from the thing altogether.
I did what was suggested and it worked great.
note: Make sure u restart the iSync application after downloading the unzip.
Nokia's plugin has now moved to a new location (since Tom's last comment).
…and yes, it works on leopard (so far).
Thank you for this! It works great!
