  • S Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel
    California’s Beverly Hills Epitomizes Upscale Travel by Lee Foster Travel in the United States has become decidedly upscale, for some. Observers of travel have watched as this measurable trend developed. For a small, but identifiable segment of travelers, price is no object. What is of concern is the highest quality in accommodations, dining, and experience. This is the traveler whom every destination now seeks to woo. For the majority of travelers, reports on this privileged minority amount to armchair or fantasy travel, an act of vicarious gratification. Nowhere in the U.S. is the phenomenon of upscale travel better expressed than in Beverly Hills , CA . This writer on one occasion immersed himself in this elite travel environment. It is fitting that here the movie industry, the makers of illusion, also finds its home. Beverly Hills passed its 90th birthday in 2004 and headed confidently towards 100. The old gal isn’t allowing herself to show her age, of course, because plenty of cosmetic surgery is ongoing in the hotels, shops, and restaurants. “We see ourselves as an oasis where the traveler can find the highest quality goods, the best hotels and restaurants, and the ultimate in service,” said the Beverly Hills ‘ mayor. LODGINGS: STARTING AT RAFFLES L’ERMITAGE Raffles L’Ermitage Hotel in Beverly Hills may well be the choicest lodging in America . Such objective observers as AAA and Mobil have awarded it their coveted five star/diamond ratings, which are tough to get and rarely coincide in one property. L’Ermitage enjoys plenty of competition in Beverly Hills from the Beverly Hills Hotel, Regent Beverly Wilshire, and Beverly Hilton.

It is the principal advocate for property owners, businesses, service providers, employees, and residents on 46 blocks of Downtown Los Angeles, spanning the area from San Pedro Street to Alameda Street, and 3rd Street to 8th Street/Olympic Blvd. Since 1998, CCEA has also administered the Downtown Industrial Business Improvement District.

For more information, contact: Estela Lopez, Executive Director, Central City East Association 725 Crocker Street, Los Angeles, CA 90021 [email protected] “Our mission is to build housing for very low-income individuals, and any plan that disallows us to do so will not have our support. But having said that, there is nobody that can be for containment. I support communities that allow for income diversity. We should not be creating islands of low- income communities, because we know that when people of different incomes live and interact every day, everyone benefits.” - Kevin Murray, CEO, Weingart Center EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Central City East Association (CCEA) represents support, the outcome is essentially segregation the stakeholders of a 46-block industrial district in by income and a continuation of the City’s the heart of Downtown Los Angeles.

Mark Werts, cofounder and chief executive officer of the retail chain, which has been an important part of the Los Angeles scene since the 1980s, is planning in September to open a 9,300-square-foot emporium in The Dubai Mall in the United Arab Emirates with other locations in the Persian Gulf to follow in places including Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Also on his retail roadmap are proposals to open stores in India and China. Meanwhile, he is reorganizing his Japanese operations, which means closing his last five stores, where once there were 17. That leaves room to open a Tokyo em- porium sometime in 2019 while American Rag’s Japanese e-commerce operations will continue. The overseas growth is taking place while American Rag’s domestic stores are scaling back.

We would appreciate you not revealing the characters’ secrets in editorial or social postings without proper warning. The film is under embargo until Wednesday, February 21 at 10:30pm CET / 4:30pm EST / 1:30pm PST. Thank you. *** Short Synopsis A young woman is involuntarily committed to a mental institution where she is confronted by her greatest fear - but is it real or is it a product of her delusion? Long Synopsis Making a startling trip into thriller territory with Unsane, director Steven Soderbergh plunges audiences into the suspense and drama of a resilient woman’s (Claire Foy, The Crown) fight to reclaim her freedom even as she risks her own sanity. Scarred from the trauma of being stalked, quick-witted Sawyer Valentini (portrayed by Ms. Foy) has relocated from Boston to Pennsylvania for a new life. As her mother Angela (Academy Award nominee Amy Irving) misses her back home and her office job is hardly an ideal employment opportunity, Sawyer remains on edge following her two years of being terrorized. To consult with a therapist, she goes for follow-up treatment at the Highland Creek Behavioral Center. Sawyer’s initial therapy session at the suburban complex run by clinician Ashley Brighterhouse (Aimée Mullins, Stranger Things) progresses well — until she unwittingly signs herself in for voluntary 24-hour commitment. Unable to leave the premises, Sawyer finds herself in close quarters with previously committed hellion Violet (Juno Temple, The Dark Knight Rises) and savvy Nate (Jay Pharoah, Saturday Night Live), who is battling an opioid addiction.

  • Welcome to Turn the Tables
    WELCOME TO TURN THE TABLES DEAR HOST, On behalf of the team at R​ epair the World,​ a national nonprofit that mobilizes Jews to volunteer, we want to THANK YOU for joining us in hosting a T​urn the Tables Dinner.​ We’re inspired that your passion moved you to use your time, energy, and dollars to create the space for people to have meaningful conversations. Throughout the month of April, you’ll join thousands of people across the country dining together and engaging in important dialogue about the issues impacting their communities. For this campaign, we’re focused on gentrification – the ways that economic, demographic and social changes affect residents of our neighborhoods. Through structured dialogue and meaningful action, we believe that we can come together to build more resilient and inclusive communities. The resources in this H​ ost Guide ​will help you facilitate important conversations. We have created many different activities for you to choose from. Please use the ones that resonate most with you and your guests. Some more observant Jews refrain from writing or watching videos on Shabbat and Jewish holidays. If you are hosting your dinner over a Jewish holiday meal and either you or others at your table are traditionally observant, feel free to use any of the already holiday-friendly activities or adapt the others accordingly. We hope that you and your guests leave your dinner with a new a​wareness ​about the world around you, having had the opportunity to s​peak up ​about complex issues surrounding gentrification, and feel inspired to t​ake action ​and become better neighbors.
