The capital was awash with glorious fashions and stunning vistas—much like it is today—and Auguste Marie Louis Nicolas and Louis Jean Lumière were there to capture it on film. The Lumière Brothers patented the projected motion picture and using their invention, shot footage of the Paris between 1896 and 1900. Although it is fascinating to look at, it was, until now, in black and white....

The thing is, those are all phenomenal things to finish second place in. Now in his 17th season with the Cardinals, Fitzgerald hasn’t played in the most marquee games. But when you start comparing his overall accomplishments to every other wide receiver to play in the NFL, ever, it becomes clear very quickly: Fitzgerald is one of the best. Fitzgerald likely won’t conclude his career with any major highlights, although having Kyler Murray as his quarterback gives him a chance to go out in style....

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said that 12 white supremacists have been arrested for planning or carrying out terrorist attacks since the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue on October 27, 2018, as well as dozens of other anti-Semitic incidents, including arson, vandalism and the distribution of neo-Nazi propaganda at Jewish institutions.

Asked in a public meeting to say what Congress does that he condones, Herschensohn said he supports programs that are pertinent to the duties of the federal government.

For example, Herschensohn says the federal government is properly involved with airlines and other interstate transportation....

The hosts were perhaps the favourites at the Wanda Metropolitano when the teams were announced. They dominated a majority of the game before the Bavarians managed to draw level late in the second half. Manager Hansi Flick made nine changes to the team that beat VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga on Saturday. Unsurprisingly, they struggled for tempo as Atletico strung together some good moves in the attacking half.
