Requirements for marrying a Vietnamese girl
Basically, legal marriages with foreigners aren't forbidden in Vietnam and are also valid in America. Applications regarding the validity of an international union must be directed to the general attorney of a particular state in the US where both parties are going to live. Do you want to settle down with a mail order bride from Vietnam? Any American has a right to marry such a woman in Vietnam. For it, he has to be in Vietnam and meet the next requirements:
A bride-to-be should be over 18 years old, a groom is over 20 years old.
Neither U.S. guy nor foreign lady has a spouse under Vietnamese law.
Both parties are mentally capable to make independent decisions.
The woman and man mustn't be bounded by blood, marriage, or adoption.
What documents do you need to marry a Vietnamese woman?
Popping the question is the simplest step an American fellow can do for getting a Vietnamese girl. But to make matrimony totally legal, you should do some paperwork, preparing a list of documents. For a legal marriage registration, all the certificates must be translated into Vietnamese and validated before sending them to the Ministry of Justice of Vietnam. There are small differences depending on the foreigner's citizenship, so the best advice is to consult in your motherland or check the direct Vietnamese embassy's requirements. When it comes to documents, you must provide the next:
Matrimony registration case (obtained from the Vietnamese District Justice Offices).
Proof of a Single Status. The man can request this document from the civil registry in the state he lives or complete it in the U.S. Embassy/Consulate in Vietnam. The document must be six months fresh. In case of having a previous union, the man or bride provides an authenticated copy of the divorce or former spouse's death document.
Certificates issued by a competent Vietnamese or foreign health authority. They prove that both man and woman have no mental diseases which сan obstruct cognizing and controlling their acts.
The identity card's copy for a Vietnamese girl or passport/residence card for the U.S. man, enclosed with its original for authenticity checking.
Applying for a K-1 Fiancé Visa to marry a Vietnamese woman
Every American guy, marrying a lady from Vietnam, wants to get her to his area and live a happy family life legally. To make the bride's relocation legal, the U.S. groom creates a visa petition on Form I-129F with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). When USCIS approves the I-129F, it arranges to send the case to the U.S. consulate in Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Your bride-to-be should apply for a K-1 visa via the consulate. For it, she fills in the required forms and provides documents. Also, she completes an interview with an official consular. The main task is to prove the genuineness of your relationships, feelings, intentions, and matrimony. In fact, all these procedures run smoothly in case you give the right documents and adopt the laws of both countries.
Going to host your wedding in America, you must obey the laws of the area you live in and want to settle down with a foreign girl. It's required to gain a marriage certificate from the local government office. A church certificate isn't accepted. Next, after the wedding, your Vietnamese wife can apply to USCIS for a green card through a procedure called adjustment of status. To obtain it, you both should pass a green card interview at a USCIS office located in your U.S. state.
Having serious intentions to marry a lady from Vietnam, American guys should get prepared for some paperwork. But you can pass all the steps without problems obeying the laws of the U.S. and Vietnam. Be sure the benefits of marrying a Vietnamese woman are worth it!

NHL Three Stars: Hats off for Colborne, Panik; OEL in OT
Posted on October 16, 2016 by Jen Neale
No. 1 Star: Joe Colborne, Colorado Avalanche
The Dallas Stars were up 2-0 on Colorado by the seven minute mark of the first period. That's when the Avs decided to wake up. From the middle of the first to the middle of the second the Avalanche scored five straight goals with Colborne recording his first career NHL hat trick. Dallas almost came all the way back, but ultimately lost 6-5. It's the first win behind the bench for Colorado coach Jared Bednar.
No. 2 Star: Richard Panik, Chicago Blackhawks
In a back-to-back, home-and home with the Nashville Predators, Panik scored his first NHL hat trick in the Blackhawks' 5-3 victory. His second goal was originally credited to Marian Hossa – which would have been his 500th – but the scorers corrected the tally.
No. 3 Star: Oliver Ekman-Larsson, Arizona Coyotes
The Arizona Coyotes scored all types of goals in their 4-3 OT win against the Philadelphia Flyers. A power play goal by Shane Doan, an even-strength goal by Martin Hanzal, a short-handed goal by Brad Richardson, and to top it off, an overtime goal by OEL.
Honorable Mention: The Minnesota Wild were booed off home ice after allowing two goals by the Winnipeg Jets in 1:11 at the end of the first period. Bruce Boudreau peeled some paint during intermission. The Wild scored four in a row in the second and third. The team earned Boudreau's first win behind the bench of the Wild, and Eric Staal picked up his first goal with the franchise … The New Jersey Devils went up 2-0 early on the Tampa Bay Lighting. The Bolts tied it up in the second on goals by Steven Stamkos and Alex Kilorn. Andy Greene thought he'd put the Devils ahead; however, Tampa challenged the play as being offsides and the Situation Room agreed. Valtteri Filppula scored the game winner 5:43 into the third … In the Washington Capitals 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders, Daniel Winnik scored both goals for the Caps. His second was a beauty on a breakaway (aided by Travis Harmonic falling) … Connor Brown and Mitch Marner recorded the first goals of their respective NHL careers in the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 win over the Boston Bruins. Frederik Andersen earned his first win as a Leaf … The Ottawa Senators ended the first period with a 2-0 lead over the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs clawed their way back into it and eventually took the lead on two goals from Jeff Petry and the first goal of Artturi Lehkonen's NHL career. Tom Pyatt tied it up with two and a half to go. Ottawa came out on top in the shootout by, who else but Mr. Everything, Erik Karlsson … Jonathan Marchessault had a goal and two assists for the Florida Panthers in the 4-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings … Ian Cole, Connor Sheary and Phil Kessel each picked up their first goals of the season the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. Corey Perry also earned his first goal picking up his own rebound off Marc-Andre Fleury and going top shelf … The San Jose Sharks were up 2-0 on the Columbus Blue Jackets until 3:42 into the third period when Zach Werenski earned his first NHL goal on the power play. With seconds remaining and the Sharks on the power play, Patrick Marleau extended San Jose's lead back to two. Nine second later, Josh Anderson made it 3-2, but it was too little, too late … The St. Louis Blues improved to 3-0-0 on a 33 save performance by backup netminder Carter Hutton. Vladimir Tarasenko notched his third goal of the season in the Blues 3-2 win over the New York Rangers … After a terrible start resulting in an own goal, the Vancouver Canucks rallied to tie the game in late in the third. Taking it to the shootout, Brandon Sutter was the only skater that scored for the Canucks win. He also took out an official but made sure to apologize. Via Steph:

Did You Know? The St. Louis Blues did not record a single shot on goal in the third period against the Rangers and still won the game.
Dishonorable Mention: Loui Eriksson scored an own-goal during a delayed penalty against the Flames … AUSTON MATTHEWS DIDN'T SCORE! WHYYYYY?! David Backes was not available to reporters following the Bruins loss. It was reported he had a hand injury after fighting Nazem Kadri in the first period. Here's the scrap courtesy of our friends at HockeyFights.com:
… Dylan Larkin a minus-4 against Florida … Trevor van Riemsdyk was a healthy scratch. Ryan Hartman and Anthony Bitetto did not play after being injured in separate incidents in Friday's matchup … You know that old hockey cliche 'he's going to want that one back'? Yeah, Jonathan Bernier is going to want to have this one back against the Penguins.
… Carl Gunnarson, Kyle Brodziak, and Jori Lehtera did not return for St. Louis and Dan Girardi did not return for the Rangers to start the third period. Despite the Blues injuries, Ryan Reeves only played 4:55 … Coyotes rookie Jakob Chychrun is incredibly lucky after colliding with the end boards on an extremely delayed icing call. He was helped off the ice and miraculously returned later in the third. Via Steph, the second GIF in slo-mo is really scary:

I spoke today for a varsity choir about the importance of vocal hygiene and vocal health, and a few questions were posed following my lecture that I wanted to address in my blog.
1. Is there something wrong with Ariana Grande's voice?
First off, I read an article recently that discussed the strange sound of Ariana's words and the article even had side by side comparisons of what her lyrics actually were compared with what they sounded like. I believe that her unintelligible diction is a direct result of compensating for laryngeal cavity space necessary to keep correct vocal tension as pitch increases. There is another article that discusses Ariana's innate vocal talent and that she is using autotune for an unknown reason. Also included here is a comparison of Britney Spears singing Alien with and without autotune, which reveals a night and day difference Britney's tone quality, but more importantly for the actual pitches she should be hitting. It's painful to listen to her try to hit these notes. I just want to tell her to use more breath support and to stop singing from her throat.... Back to Ariana Grande, another article mentions a vocal fold hemorrhage that happened to her last year. So I don't believe Ariana has something wrong with her at this time, but people think she sounds strange because of the physical limitations of the human vocal tract.
2. What has Steven Tyler been doing to damage his voice?
Steven Tyler has been the subject of scrutiny regarding his raspy singing voice during a rendition of the National Anthem. I found information online that he had a vocal fold hemorrhage within the past few years and that he had surgery to stop the bleeding without scarring the tissue. His physician also monitored his vocal folds during just one concert and reported that Steven had 780,000 vocal fold collisions! The physician mentions that Steven has had years of vocal fold damage and abuse, as well as having the vocal folds age just like other muscles in his body. Technique, genetics and hygiene all play a role in whether a person will develop a vocal fold pathology or not.

Starbucks plans to phase out its iconic cup, calling it a 'symbol of throwaway culture'
Photo by Sorin Sîrbu on Unsplash
Starbucks disposable cup.
As a millennial born in 1988, it's hard for me to think about coffee without in turn thinking about Starbucks. Since expanding nationwide in the 1990s, Starbucks has completely changed coffee culture. Some might say for better, others for worse. But a lasting change to say the least.
Even the Starbucks cups are famous. Odds are you've seen one in its regular white and green form (if you're not drinking from one at this very moment, that is) or in a festive shade of red for the holiday season. Either way, it's instantly recognizable. Or as Starbucks Chief Sustainability Officer Michael Kobori calls it, "ubiquitous."
But in an interview with CNN Business, Kobori warns that these easily tossed disposable cups are also a "ubiquitous symbol of a throwaway society."
With Starbucks serving around 6 billion disposable cups per year, he's not wrong. Though the cups are recyclable, that doesn't stop them from being thrown into landfills, if not littering the streets directly.
That's why Kobori shares the company's new solution: "eliminating the disposable cup" entirely by 2025.
The plan is to make the option of single-use paper or plastic cups much less attractive, similar to their swapping straws for lids with cold drinks. This includes possibly charging a small fee to use disposable cups, while experimenting with discounts and incentives to pull customers to the "green" side.
By the end of 2022, the company plans to allow customers to use their own reusable mugs, something that was temporarily suspended due to COVID-19. This time, however, being environmentally conscious might get you anywhere from 10 to 15 cents. Which any caffeine-aholic knows easily adds up day after day.

Starbucks is also considering adopting a borrow-a-mug program, where customers pay a small refundable deposit in exchange for a cup rental.
The company did a two-month beta version of the program in none other than Starbucks' hometown of Seattle. When customers returned the cup, they not only got their $1 deposit back, they also received 10 rewards points. Though many customers have come to rely on Starbucks for its convenience, the test was positively received. Store Manager Kim Davis noted that both the baristas and customers were on board, saying that "the excitement and engagement was really high."
There is still one major obstacle: the drive-thru window. Oh, and mobile orders. So make that two obstacles. These are simple conveniences that customers have come to expect from Starbucks. It's a brilliant move for the business model, but makes the sustainability goal a bit more complicated. Especially considering that more than half of all sales are made by people cruising by in their cars or ordering on the app.
Anne Hathaway Starbucks GIFGiphy
A few mock-up stores have been set up to test different options. One being obvious: customers simply handing over their reusable cups to the barista at the drive-thru window. Another is to have them drop off their cup at an earlier drive-thru point, so that the drink is ready once they swing around to pay. Plus premaking the drinks to then pour into the reusable cups once the driver pulls up. I can see the potential for mess with that last one, but the point is: Solutions are being tested.
As for the mobile purchases, that seems to be an especially tall order. Venti, even. But Starbucks is nothing if not innovative. On more than one occasion, the company's forward thinking has completely changed the coffee game. It made "single origin" hip, nondairy milk and plant-based food accessible, and folk jazz the official cafe sound. It certainly feels like if any single business entity can guide us as a society toward improved coffee habits, it's the one repped by the green mermaid.
May her siren song lead us all to a better, more sustainable future.

A lot's changed in the last three years. And it ain't pretty.
According to the National Drought Mitigation Center, more than 81% of California is in an "extreme drought."
The state has been battling a drought that has become increasingly severe and costly over the past few years. California is now "short more than one year's worth of reservoir water," according to an NDMC report and residents can be fined up to $500 for excessively watering their lawns.

I was introduced to the world of packaging by Praveen (a.k.a javaman), one year back. It was a training session for packaging diaspora gems for debian (so that diaspora can finally be installed by sudo apt-get install diaspora). I tried packing one package named jammit and I think I stopped it when I found that, it had some dependencies yet to be packaged. And as usual, I had found new areas to graze. (Typical me.. :D ) .
However, I had recently decided to try packaging again and started working on a gem today. timeline-setter. It is a gem to create HTML timelines from spreadsheet of events. I started following the steps in the wiki. Whenever I got errors, Nandaja helped me decode them.
I had an account in Alioth but hadn't used that ever. Also, it took about 1 hour to add ssh key to it. So, I decided to go with mentors. It needed an RFS and I filed one. It was only after filing that, I consulted with Praveen and he said if I had git access. I should use that. People actually like git rather than mentors. Also, I found out that, I had made a typo in the copyright file ( I used GPL instead of MIT). So, I am gonna try git. I am waiting for my ssh key to be added to alioth.


This book draws on little-known oral histories from the Yup'ik people of southwest Alaska to detail a period of bow-and-arrow warfare that took place in the region between 1300 and 1800. The result of more than thirty years of research, discussion, and field recordings involving more than one hundred Yup'ik men and women, Anguyiim Nalliini tells a story not just of war and violence, but also of its cultural context—the origins of place names, the growth of indigenous architectural practices, the personalities of prominent war- riors and leaders, and the eventual establishment of peaceful coexistence. The book is presented in bilingual format, with facing-page translations, and it will be hailed as a landmark work in the study of Alaska Native history and anthropology.
In Anguyiim Nalliini / Time of Warring, Fienup-Riordan and Rearden present the history of warfare in this region with many elders' narratives that replace this false image of history with one that is historically more accurate. . . . The inclusion of stories in both Yup'ik and English provides an excellent opportunity to bridge cultural and linguistic boundaries, transmitting oral narrative to written form.

Zai Lab and Novocure Announce Pivotal LUNAR Study in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Met Primary Overall Survival Endpoint
The LUNAR study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival
The full LUNAR data will be presented at a future medical congress
SHANGHAI and CAMBRIDGE, Mass. and ROOT, Switzerland, Jan. 05, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zai Lab Limited (Nasdaq: ZLAB; HKEX: 9688) and Novocure (NASDAQ: NVCR) today announced the LUNAR study met its primary endpoint, demonstrating a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival over standard therapies alone. The LUNAR study is a pivotal, open-label, randomized study evaluating the safety and efficacy of Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) together with standard therapies for stage 4 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) following progression while on or after treatment with platinum-based therapy.
The LUNAR study also showed a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in overall survival when patients were treated with TTFields and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), as compared to those treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors alone, and a positive trend in overall survival when patients were treated with TTFields and docetaxel versus docetaxel alone. Patient enrollment was well balanced between the ICI and docetaxel cohorts of the experimental and control arms, and control arms performed in line with prior studies. TTFields therapy was well tolerated by patients enrolled in the experimental arm of the study.
"We are pleased with the positive readout of the LUNAR study. Prior to LUNAR, the last phase 3 trial to lead to significant improvement in overall survival in late-stage, platinum-resistant non-small cell lung cancer was six years ago, underlining the difficulty in treating this disease," said William Doyle, Novocure's Executive Chairman. "We are also pleased by the profound performance of the TTFields together with immunotherapy, which has the potential to meaningfully extend patient survival beyond what was previously possible. I would like to thank our patients and investigators for their courage and dedication in completing LUNAR. And, I would like to thank Novocure's employees for their unrelenting commitment to patients and their perseverance in propelling Novocure to this major milestone."
"We are excited about the potential of TTFields to address the unmet medical needs of lung cancer patients around the world. In China, lung cancer is the most common cancer type with approximately 700,000 new NSCLC cases diagnosed each year," said Dr. Samantha Du, Founder, Chairperson, and CEO of Zai Lab. "We are pleased to contribute and be a part of the LUNAR study and this partnership is yet another great example of how collaboration benefits everyone."
Novocure plans to release the full results of the LUNAR study at a future medical conference. Novocure expects to file a Premarket Approval application with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the second half of 2023. Novocure also expects to file for a CE Mark in the European Union concurrently with the FDA submission.
About LUNAR
LUNAR is a pivotal study testing the safety and effectiveness of TTFields when used together with immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel (experimental arm) versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone (control arm) for patients with stage 4 NSCLC who progressed during or after platinum-based therapy. It is estimated that approximately 46,000 patients receive second-line treatment for stage 4 NSCLC each year in the U.S. The primary endpoint is superior overall survival of patients treated with TTFields plus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel versus immune checkpoint inhibitors or docetaxel alone. The powered secondary endpoints are superior overall survival of patients treated with TTFields plus immune checkpoint inhibitor versus immune checkpoint inhibitor alone (ICI cohort) and superior overall survival of patients treated with TTFields plus docetaxel versus docetaxel alone (docetaxel cohort). TTFields is intended principally for use with other concomitant standard-of-care treatments, and LUNAR was designed to generate data that contemplates multiple outcomes, all of which Novocure believes will be clinically meaningful.
About Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in China
Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer type and the leading cause of cancer death in China. There were approximately 815,563 new cases and 714,699 deaths of lung cancer in China in 2020, respectively. NSCLC accounts for approximately 85% of lung cancer, and approximately 70% of NSCLC is locally advanced or metastatic at initial diagnosis. Similar to the global clinical practice, physicians use different combinations of surgery, radiation and pharmacological therapies to treat NSCLC, depending on the stage of the disease. Surgery, which may be curative in a subset of patients, is usually used in early stages of the disease. Since 1991, radiation with a combination of platinum-based chemotherapy drugs has been the first-line standard of care for locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Certain immune checkpoint inhibitors have been approved for the first-line treatment of NSCLC and the standard of care in this setting appears to be evolving rapidly. The standard of care for second-line treatment is also evolving and may include platinum-based chemotherapy for patients who received immune checkpoint inhibitors as their first-line regimen, pemetrexed, docetaxel or immune checkpoint inhibitors.
About Tumor Treating Fields Therapy
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are electric fields that exert physical forces to kill cancer cells via a variety of mechanisms. TTFields do not significantly affect healthy cells because they have different properties (including division rate, morphology, and electrical properties) than cancer cells. The multiple, distinct mechanisms of TTFields therapy work together to selectively target and kill cancer cells. Due to its multimechanistic actions, TTFields therapy can be added to cancer treatment modalities in approved indications and demonstrates enhanced effects across solid tumor types when used with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immune checkpoint inhibition, or PARP inhibition in preclinical models. TTFields therapy provides clinical versatility that has the potential to help address treatment challenges across a range of solid tumors.

With summer in full swing, July is the natural fit for National Grilling Month. Grilling is all about good times, good friends and great food.
Keep grill away from house, – experts say that the grill should be kept at least ten feet from your dwelling, and should be free from debris or decorations.
Check for gas leaks – gas leaks can cause injury and a hazard to safety, ensure that the gas line is free from leaks and properly attached to the gas tank.
Preheat grill to kill any bacteria that may be present on the grate – with the lid open, turn on the grill and ignite the flame. Allow the grill to heat.
Keep a spray bottle handy – grill fires are common and can be dangerous if not monitored and stopped. Keep a spray bottle close by in case any flame arises.
Never leave your grill unattended – the second most common cause of gas grill fires is leaving the equipment unattended according to the National Fire Protection Association.


Keen to explore Europe, Philipp took time out from his job in Germany to travel for a year. But fate intervened just over 10 months ago. He explains: "I arrived in Dublin originally with just my flight booked over here. I didn't have any other plans apart from that. At the time, I was planning to travel on. But everyone I met was so lovely and suggested that I go and see Galway. When I came here, I really liked the whole atmosphere, the mentality of everyone and how everyone was so friendly." Along with the culture, Philipp also fell for his girlfriend after meeting her during his visit – and decided to stay on in Galway.

« What Causes People to Hate?
Family Gathering For Thanksgiving »
The Herd Mentality
November 15, 2012 by catsnjammer64
In the beginning of mankind it was necessary for us to form together in a herd just as it is for animals to form herds and to gather together in flocks for survival. A group of people or a tribe could defend against danger or against predators more effectively if they maintained a large group or herd.
They could forage together more effectively for roots,grains and berries,hunting that provided the meat, and gather together for warmth. Absolutely everything was shared by the group with a leader chosen by them to lead and he,because rarely was a woman trusted as a leader,was entitled pretty much to anything he felt entitled to, as long as he kept the needs of the people first. He would always be served first before the group and any gem stones,feathers,or tools made were presented to him first before the others could share the spoils. Just as the animal world has a hierarchy so did mankind.
In the animal world the male fights for the position against the weaker and the same was often true in the early days of mankind until after mankind advanced enough to the point that the title of leader was then passed down to the first borned son, generation after generation. Long before there was a government, long before there were Democracies,long before politics and political Parties, long before there was a Republican Party who referred to working together and picking a just leader of the people, who made sure the people were provided for,Socialism; mankind depended on a just and fair leader of the people. The people in return rewarded their leaders, so to declare as Mitt Romney did that the people were jealous of his wealth, made as much sense as too many other ridiculous statements he made in his campaign.In a civilized World today we still need leaders who care as much for the needs of the people as they did then, even though we no longer need to gather together in herds for our survival.
The protests that we often see in the Streets of a free Nation only arise because the people feel that they are being disenfranchised or starved to death by leadership. The fact that the Republican Party with the help of the media, such as Fox News, only scoffed at the Occupy movement moving across America to stop the greed of the 1% over the needs of the 99%, has a great deal to do with why the Republican Party lost the election this year. They had become so accustomed to ignoring the needs of the workers that they apparently felt they could run any candidate that they wanted to that would bend to the wishes of the far right and we the poor and middle class would succumb to their wishes because they used the herd mentality against their followers by whipping them into a feeding frenzy against President Obama.
So convinced were they that the deck was stacked in their favor to win that even when they lost Paul Ryan said,"We only lost because of the turn out in the Urban area" while denying they lost 40% of the over 55 vote,the youth vote, the women's vote in the suburban areas,the gay vote,the Asian vote,the Hispanic vote,the Jewish vote, as well as the agriculture and blue-collar vote in States like New Hampshire,Iowa,Colorado, and Ohio as well. They even lost the Catholic vote as well as both Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney lost their own home States, and yet in their denial, they are still trying to claim they ran a good campaign.
None of us are so stupid that we do not realize that when Republicans like Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney speak of the Urban vote they are talking about the poor and the African-American vote and when they insult one of us they insult all of us. We know that first and foremost, we all are Americans together, and the Republicans are not granted leadership unless the American majority,made up of all American minorities, say they are our choice.
They cannot divide us even while they claim that our President is responsible for doing so. When Mitt Romney in his continued arrogance claimed they only lost because of the gifts (Obama care) given to those in the Urban area and free birth control to the young women, by President Obama, he only added more insults to the already bruised majority of us combined, who voted against the arrogance of the Republican Party as much as we voted in favor of the man we felt could better care for all of the American people.
If the GOP continues to refuse to accept the fact that they cannot run a bunch of clowns who are not interested in the people but instead pretend they are by spending billions of dollars and making voting against those who will not vote for them,as miserable as possible, they will continue to lose. The middle class has lost too much income while the wealth of the wealthy has grown,for to long for the Republican Party to think they can continue to disenfranchise us as a group.
Modern mankind, often led by women who are also the majority voters, will not be fooled into subjection by their leaders, on a pact of lies and billions of dollars. Adding conservative women to your party that are led by the beliefs of the far right will not fool those of us who do know that we are as equal as anyone else in America. The GOP's problem runs much deeper than just winning back the Latino/Hispanic voters. As Haley Barbour said,"The GOP needs to find a good Proctologist", or as I say," they need to get their heads out of their b….s long enough to understand they lost overwhelmingly," and we both mean the same thing. Republicans lost this election because they offered nothing different from what we have been paying for the last decade and will be paying for generations to come, and because we are not a right-wing Nation who denies equality to its people.
The blue-collar workers cannot be forced into giving up their Unions in favor for less pay and longer hours under the Republican control in our States,nor can they continue to fire teachers,policemen, and firemen and then expect our votes. They may have won 53% of the white vote but basically that is about all they won and with those numbers they lost. It is no one's fault but their own so it is time they quit making ugly excuses instead. It is time that men like John McCain accepts that he lost in 2008 and give his along with the bigots like John Sununu, in the Republican Party, bitterness from his and their lost, a rest.
If the GOP wants to continue with their insistence that women are denied the right of equality to their own bodies while they try to win back the Latino/Hispanic vote while dismissing the rest of the minorities in America, they are going to continue to lose because just as the leadership in early mankind needed to be ever cognizant of the needs of the members in the herd,or be threatened by the uprise of the herd, today's leadership needs to be aware of the fact that the needs of the people are fair and just as well.
We may be modern mankind with all of our own flaws but we still recognize a group of Bullshippers when we see and hear them. You lost Republicans so lick your wounds and start rebuilding a Party that reflects the needs of the people over your own greed and run legitimate candidates with legitimate concerns for the people of all races,genders,gender orientations,and religious beliefs, over the lobbyists and the bigots, and you will again win over the vote of some of the people who do accept the needs of capitalism to grow as well.
Capitalism cannot continue to stockpile trillions while the workers go without food and homes and then turn around and expect the workers to vote for the Republican Party who protects Wall Street at the expense of the people. You lost, accept it, and get to work rebuilding a respectable Party over the disaster based in greed that you now own. You fooled no one but a few but mainly yourselves. The truth hurts sometimes but only when we own it can we make necessary improvements towards change in ourselves. No one doubts that the GOP needs to tear down their structure and rebuild except those of you who march to the drum of Carl Rove,Grover Norquist, the Tea Party, and the far right,still.
Good Luck and get to work adding moderates to your Party because the angry old white men are a dying breed and it is time you all learn to accept it. We do want to see two healthy political parties again,but it must be based on the needs of the people and have some truth in what it tells the people as well as the needs of capitalism, with a genuine leader at its helm. We the voters are not going away. Once burnt twice learned. We do not need another Bush as in Jeb Bush, either. We are sincere in our wishes to see the Republican Party and their platform rebuilt on reality and on a new foundation. Once we do, and are convinced the people matter, then some of the voters will return to the GOP.

New plans for Aloha Stadium raise fears of more delays and added costs
by: Julissa Briseño, Manolo Morales
Posted: Sep 29, 2022 / 04:31 PM HST
Updated: Sep 29, 2022 / 08:47 PM HST
HONOLULU (KHON2) — After 47 years, Aloha Stadium is getting ready to close. And you can own a piece of the iconic property.
After football games, concerts and memorable venues, there will be one last chance to tour the space and buy memorabilia from the stadium.
Check out more news from around Hawaii
Oahu Auctions and Liquidations will be holding an online auction starting in early October. According to the Aloha Stadium, seats, turf, office and restaurant equipment and other items will be available to be bought.
You can register here for the auction.
In 2023, the Aloha Stadium will be offering self-guided and guided tours for a limited time. Fans will be able to see areas that are usually off-limits like locker rooms, the field and other areas that are filled with memorabilia.
Meanwhile, the Aloha Stadium Authority met on Thursday, and there are conflicting beliefs on whether the governor's plan to take a new direction will actually speed up the process.
In the Aloha Stadium Authority's first meeting since the governor revealed that he wanted to go in a different direction in building the stadium, board member and The Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism Director, Mike McCartney, said it's best to take the $350 million approved by the state legislature and just focus on building a stadium.
Stadium Authority meeting Thursday to discuss NASED change
"To keep it simple, build a stadium. The other things that are out there that have been talked about are good pieces of work, like the entertainment district or the housing. But those are things that are to be done later on," said McCartney.
He added that there are so many things that can go wrong with a major construction project.
"We have to be sensitive to cultural issues. I'm very sensitive about that here too because from Halawa ahupuaa all the way down," McCartney said.
"It makes absolutely no sense. We spent three years and $25 million in consultants to get us to where we are today, everything from environmental impact studies to renderings," said Sen. Glenn Wakai, chairman of the Senate Energy, Economic Development and Tourism Committee.
New Aloha Stadium financing, amenities in question
Sen. Wakai said the state seems disinterested in actually building a new stadium. He said the state asked University of Hawaii to take over the project but UH wasn't interested in taking over the responsibility.
"They are very lukewarm to that idea they don't really want to take on the responsibility of being the point persons or point entity for the construction of a stadium," Wakai said.
Wakai added that the $350 million will likely not be enough to build a 35,000-seat stadium. And with delays more likely because of the new plan, the state will need more money.
"Cost escalation is usually six to 10% every year. So with $350 million, we'll get a 20,000-seat stadium and with every month of delay we'll get a smaller and smaller and smaller stadium," said Wakai.
The governor's spokeswoman said she will announce more details on his plan in about three weeks or sooner. UH said it is premature for them to comment.

A day after suffering a disheartening, 13-0, five-inning loss to the Floyd Central Lady Highlanders, the North Harrison Lady Cats bounced back Thursday to earn a Mid-Southern Conference win at Corydon Central.
"We had a blooper last night (at Floyd)," North Harrison coach John Lambert said. "We laid an egg. I don't know what caused that. Maybe they were looking forward to tonight. Maybe the weather conditions threw them off a little bit. It was different. The JV played first last night and the varsity played second. Maybe that affected our focus. We'll try to overcome that."
Corydon Central got on top first in the bottom of the first inning. Savanah Cesar, who walked and advanced to second base on a passed ball and third on a Shelby Short sacrifice bunt, scored on a Jenna Keinsley single. With Samantha Schmelz at the plate, courtesy runner Katie Hayes, who had stolen second and third bases, crossed the plate on a passed ball to put the Lady Panthers up 2-0.
The pendulum began to swing to North Harrison in the top of the third inning. Hilary Fonda grabbed two bases on a Corydon error, then Brittini Sears singled to push Fonda across the plate. Moments later, with two outs, Mary Robertson got a blooper to fall to score Sears to tie the game.
"We've got some kids that are playing really well, but we've got six kids that, up until this week, had never played varsity softball before," Lambert said. "It's a big change. Everything's quicker. The kids run faster … You throw harder and you've got to run as hard as you can. It's just a different level of ball."
Neither team scored again until the top of the fifth inning, when the Lady Cats had their biggest inning of the game. After reaching base on a fielder's choice, Kayla Lambert stole second and third bases. Infield and bunt singles by Alyssa McAfee and Mary Robertson, respectively, loaded the bases for Sasha Grangier, who went deep to center field for a sacrifice fly that scored Lambert and gave the Lady Cats the lead.
The Lady Cats were far from done, as Amber Longest went to first on a third-strike passed ball. Robertson, who had stolen second earlier, went to third and then scored on the play. After Jessica Kaufman walked to load the bases, freshman Cassie Wagner looped a single for two more runs and a 6-2 Lady Cat advantage.
The Lady Cats added a final run when Wagner got her third RBI of the day with a single to score courtesy runner Miranda Whelan in the top of the seventh for the 7-2 final.
"Tonight, the effort we got out of 10 kids that played for us tonight was outstanding," Lambert said. "They didn't quit. We dropped down 2-0 early in the first inning and they just kept battling, so that's what we're asking. We're asking for a lot of effort. We're asking for a lot of heart and we're asking for every game to show improvement."
North Harrison finished with nine hits, with Sears, Robertson and Wagner getting two each. Kaufman, from the pitcher's circle, struck out six Lady Panthers while walking just one. The Lady Cats made three errors and left seven runners stranded.
"I think you have to go up and down the order because even kids that made outs hit the ball well tonight," Lambert said. "I'm really pleased with that because the (Jenna) Keinsley kid is a super pitcher. She's one of the best pitchers in this area. There's no doubt."
"We hit a lot of balls really hard that Corydon made some really nice plays on," he said. "We had some kids tonight that normally get two or three hits a game for us that may not have had a hit tonight."
Corydon Central finished with just two hits. Keinsley had a good day pitching, striking out 10 and walking just one. The Lady Panthers committed two errors and left three runners stranded.
"We're breaking in," Lambert said. "They're not all freshmen. We've got sophomores. There's no juniors in that mix. The seniors are leading us. They've been great. They're talking. They're teaching and the kids look up to them. Just like tonight, we get things going, and the seniors came up big.
"We've got an All-State caliber shortstop (Kayla Lambert). We've got all-conference kids looking around. We beat a nice Clarksville team last week. We beat a nice Corydon team tonight."

Pop Stars Who Haven't Figured Out They Aren't Famous Anymore
By Jessica Sager/Updated: Aug. 14, 2021 5:12 pm EST
Pop stars don't typically have the longest shelf life. For every Madonna, who's been around for almost four decades, you have about 20 has-beens or never-wases. There are a slew of one-hit wonders in the genre for a reason: It's really hard to maintain a presence, a fanbase, and a high quality of art in a field that's so fickle and trendy.
In the age of social media celebrities, stars have to work extremely hard, release work often, and reinvent themselves enough times to stay relevant and not be swept away in a wave of newer, shinier singers with more Instagram followers and YouTube streams. That's not easy, and most pop stars can't manage to accomplish it. However, that doesn't mean their egos aren't the size of Lady Gaga's inflatable dress.
These pop stars can't seem to accept the fact that stardom is fleeting and they've fallen by the wayside — and some of these try-hards never even made it big to begin with.
Fergie has come a long way down since her days of The Dutchess, which spawned five top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 (three of which topped the charts at No. 1) in 2006 and 2007.
Unfortunately, Fergie waited almost a really long time to release a followup to the massive hit. She dropped "L.A. Love" in December 2014. The song peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard charts, and due to its lackluster performance, she delayed the release of Double Dutchess, which was slated to hit shelves in 2015.
She enlisted Kim Kardashian, Ciara, and Chrissy Teigen for her "M.I.L.F. $" music video in July 2016, but the song stalled at No. 34. Fergie tried another single, "Life Goes On," in December 2016, but the track didn't chart at all.
When the album finally dropped in September 2017, it peaked at No. 19, despite her best publicity stunts, including her Trevor Live stage crashing to plug her Target bonus tracks and her disastrous national anthem at the NBA All-Star Game in February 2018.
There's a reason she's working so hard: She revealed in a European radio interview that she paid for her music videos herself, adding, "I am still paying for all the videos that I did for the album so I think I might be about to go on credit. I have things that I could sell. It's fine."
Austin Mahone was poised to be the next Justin Bieber ... but that never happened. In fact, his sales were so poor despite his hype being so huge that Billboard dubbed the phenomenon "Austin Mahone Syndrome."
"The kid can close down any mall in America, but we are struggling to sell a meaningful amount of records," Republic Records president and co-founder Avery Lipman told Billboard.
On paper, Mahone may have seemed like a success story at first: His EP The Secret debuted at No. 5 on Billboard 200, selling 46,000 copies in its first week. However, it was for naught, Lipman lamented, comparing Mahone's sales to golf: "It sounds good, looks good; goes right in the weeds."
That's because Mahone sells a lot less than Bieber did when he first emerged from YouTube and into the mainstream. In their first weeks, Bieber's 2009 debut My World sold 137,000 copies, My World 2.0 sold 283,000 copies, My World Acoustic sold 115,000 copies, and Never Say Never: The Remixes sold 165,000 copies. Bieber's records continued to sell, eventually reaching gold, platinum, or multi-platinum status.
Mahone also has issues selling singles. His only two to reach the Hot 100 were "Mmm Yeah," which only peaked at No. 49 on the Hot 100 in 2014, and "What About Love," which stalled out at No. 66 in 2013.
He released a tour docuseries in 2017, but at this point, breaking into the mainstream doesn't seem likely.
Let's be clear: Taylor Swift is still a top pop star, outselling every other artist in 2017 despite not even releasing Reputation until November of that year. That said, she's not at the top of her game anymore on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Look What You Made Me Do" debuted at No. 1 in September 2017. "Ready For It" debuted at No. 4, dropping to No. 53 in its second week. Then came "Gorgeous" at No. 13 (dropping to No. 69 in its second week) and "End Game" at No. 18. Her radio play for Reputation hasn't been stellar, Billboard reported, with insiders claiming her team made pushed to get "Look What You Made Do" to No. 1, and then backed off from promotion, leading to a steep drop in airplay.
Her Reputation tour hasn't fared well compared to her past successes due to her ultra-expensive ticket prices and sales strategy. A source told The New York Post, "Sales so far have been a mega disappointment. There are hundreds if not thousands of tickets left for every show."
Add that to the multitude of think pieces written about Reputation's lack of cultural impact, and that tumble's still got to hurt.
Some of Katy Perry's recent struggles on the charts are due to her feud with Taylor Swift. On June 8, 2017, Swift's catalog was released on all streaming services — stealing the thunder from Perry's album release for Witness on June 9, 2017. Spin reported that Perry's streaming numbers for Witness' opening week barely beat Swift's 1989, coming in at 19.2 million streams for Perry and 18.9 million for Swift. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 but dropped off the charts after 21 weeks.
That said, Witness just didn't have any hits. "Chained To The Rhythm" peaked at No. 4 in March 2017 but dropped off the Billboard Hot 100 entirely after just 15 weeks. "Swish Swish" peaked at a dismal No. 46 that June and dropped off the chart within 10 weeks. "Bon Appétit" fared even worse, peaking at No. 59 and disappearing after only six weeks.
Capitol Records chairman Steve Barnett told Variety, "I talk about how engagement is so important and I don't believe you can have big cycles between projects [as Perry did]. I think that's changed. So you sit down and have tough conversations with her."
Hey, at least she's got American Idol, right?
Joy Villa
Joy Villa is mildly famous for her attention-starved awards show gowns, like her infamous "Make America Great Again" dress at the 2017 Grammys. In July 2017, Villa tried to use the attention she'd garnered with her MAGA dress to prop up her song "Make America Great Again," but unfortunately, by the time she released the music video for the track, which featured her wearing the gown for a second time as she showcased her extremely limited vocal range, everyone forgot about her. To date, it has less than 200,000 views; none of her music videos have broken the 500K mark on YouTube.
She kept trying though. At the 2018 Grammys, Villa wore a white gown emblazoned with a rainbow fetus and a "Choose Life" message, topped off with a tiara (via People). Before Villa made simultaneous political and sartorial statements, she attempted to gain notoriety by wearing little more than an orange net with next-to-nothing underneath it.
Villa may not have made a name for herself in music outside of her inexplicable Grammy appearances, but she did earn herself a slot on Fox News' pundit roster. She should probably stick to that, because not even Donald Trump could make her streaming numbers great again.
Azealia Banks' hit "212" garnered her an incredible amount of hype in the music industry. But, unfortunately for her, Banks squandered whatever hype she'd gained with petty (and often racist and homophobic) social media beefs with everyone from Zayn Malik to Iggy Azalea to Bill Cosby's rape accusers, leading her to get permanently banned from Twitter and Facebook.
Her antics also cost her a collaboration with Lady Gaga, who told fans that Banks had "a bad attitude." By July 2014, The Guardian reported that Banks left her record deal with Universal, and Vice reported that she had to cancel a Norway performance the same month because no one showed up to it. Add that to her legal troubles, and Banks' outlook is bleak.
Banks may have celebrated signing a new record deal in February 2018, but it remains to be seen if she'll actually release any music on it — and if anyone is left to care about it.
Iggy Azalea had a massive hit with "Fancy," which was the song of the summer in 2014 and stuck to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks — even breaking a record set by the Beatles.
However, as soon as March 2015, Azalea's heat was cooling. The Wrap reported that she refused to do press to promote what would have been her first arena tour, leading to it getting scrapped entirely.
In January 2016, Azalea lashed out at her label for not letting her drop a video for "Azillion," and her single "Team" flopped on the charts, leading most to abandon hope for her sophomore album, Digital Distortion. The ironically titled "Can't Lose" wasn't a chart winner, either. Her spring 2017 single, "Mo' Bounce," flopped as well, though plenty tuned in to see her twerking to the song.
In July 2017, Azalea claimed that her label boss Steve Bartels refused to release any more singles from Digital Distortion, which, at the time of writing, still hasn't been released.
Unfortunately for Azalea, her undoing was, well, her own doing.
When Rita Ora appeared on The Wendy Williams Show in December 2016, host Wendy Williams asked, "I know you from [Fifty Shades Of Grey] and from Adidas, I know you as the fashion girl ... but what else does she do?"
The question was symbolic of the way most of America feels about Ora, who's actually a singer. Ora's got a great voice, so it only makes her lack of breakthrough success stateside all the more tragic.
Her struggle became glaringly apparent in October 2014, when she tweeted (via BuzzFeed), "Dropping my new song Monday if this gets 100,000 retweets." It got about 2,000 retweets, and then she retweeted a fan account that wrote, "Where [are] her 3.9 million followers when you need them? SMH." She later said she'd been hacked, but the damage was done.
To be fair, not all of Ora's issues are her own fault. Though she was heavily pushed by Jay-Z's Roc Nation label when she first got signed, battles with the record label, as well as with her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, led to her releasing just one album, Ora, in 2012. She had some success, going platinum in the UK and collaborating with Iggy Azalea, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, and Charli XCX. But for every hit, she seems to have a gaffe, whether it be a public breakup with Harris or Rob Kardashian, or being busted buying her own single.
Maybe modeling is her true calling after all.
Charlie Puth has attempted a whole lot publicity stunts with female artists in his thirst for companionship and fame.
In his "How Long" video, released in October 2017, he deliberately made fans speculate that he dated Selena Gomez. He would later tell Billboard in February 2018 that his alleged fling with Gomez, who collaborated with him on "We Don't Talk Anymore," "really messed [him] up." However, sources insisted to E! News that Gomez only ever had a platonic relationship with him.
Before that, he made a fling with Bella Thorne exceedingly public when she had the nerve to end it, Us Weekly reported. At the time, he ranted, "Nobody should have their heart messed with like this." However, Thorne denied dating him at all. Prior to that incident, Puth believed that making out onstage with his "Marvin Gaye" duet partner Meghan Trainor at the 2015 American Music Awards would help make him a sensation, but it didn't.
In terms of sales, Puth's 2015 EP, Some Type Of Love, peaked at No. 37, while Nine Track Mind fared better, peaking at No. 6 in 2016. He's only had one single, "Attention," break the Top 10 without a featured artist.
Perhaps Puth should have taken the hint that his career wasn't quite taking off as he'd hoped when The Late Late Show host James Corden could only correctly name a single one of Puth's songs during a recent "Spill Your Guts Or Fill Your Guts" segment.
Meghan Trainor dominated the charts with "All About That Bass" from her platinum debut album, Title, in 2015.
Unfortunately, the M-Train derailed with her sophomore record, Thank You. The album peaked at No. 3, which isn't terrible ... until you learn that it sold half of what Title did in its first week. Her first single from the album, "No," peaked at a respectable No. 3, but her subsequent releases, "Better," didn't even break the Hot 100, though it did peak at No. 35 on the Adult Top 40. ("I'm A Lady" fared similarly, not breaking the Hot 100, but landing at No. 40 on the Adult Top 40.) "Me Too" stalled at No. 13.
At the time of this writing, album No. 3 isn't shaping up to be much better. "No Excuses," the first single from her upcoming third album, was a return to her Title style of modern day doo-wop, but debuted at No. 46 in March 2018.
Be honest: You still know all the lyrics to Nelly Furtado's "I'm Like A Bird" (and probably "Promiscuous"). Though both are fairly modern classics in the pop music canon, Furtado hasn't really been able to stick the landing with her subsequent tracks or releases. She took six years between her English language albums Loose in 2006 and The Spirit Indestructible in 2012. Loose debuted with 219,000 copies sold in its first week. The Spirit Indestructible sold 6,000 copies in its first week. The Ride, released in 2017 after another long hiatus, debuted with 1,814 copies sold in its first week. No, there aren't zeroes missing there. The album didn't even break the Billboard 200 in Canada, her homeland.
She explained to Huffington Post Canada, "I have very few albums that debut high. I've had kind of everything happen to me commercially and at different levels ... so one chart or anything doesn't necessarily [mean anything] ... I have had a lot of ups and downs in my career on a commercial level, so I'm very bulletproof in that way."
Nick Jonas overestimated Jonas Brothers nostalgia and his own mainstream appeal as a solo artist.
His 2014 debut solo effort, Nick Jonas, peaked at No. 6, while Last Year Was Complicated, debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard charts in June 2016 — behind Drake's Views, which dropped two months earlier. In its second week out, Last Year Was Complicated dropped out of the Top 10 completely. His singles started out strong, with "Jealous" peaking at No. 7 in January 2015, but everything released after it performed worse than the single before it. "Chains" and "Close" peaked at No. 13 and No. 14, respectively, but "Levels" stalled out at No. 44 and "Bom Bidi Bom" only hit No. 54. His May 2017 single, "Remember I Told You," didn't even crack the Billboard Hot 100.
Not that you'd know it based on his ticket prices. In November 2015, People reported that his and Demi Lovato's "Ultimate VIP Dressing Room" package for their Future Now tour cost $10,000 for a backstage dressing room (including a rider), a visit and photos with Lovato and Jonas, autographed merchandise, access to a stage-side lounge, and dinner ... but not an actual ticket to the show.
Still, his movie Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle (2017) did amazingly at the box office, so Jonas could have a future in acting if he hangs up his guitar for good.
Fifth Harmony should be huge. The incredibly talented ladies got their start on TV's The X Factor, they had the backing of Simon Cowell, they opened for Demi Lovato — and yet they've struggled their entire careers, most notably after Camila Cabello left the group in December 2016.
Billboard reported that they scrapped an entire Australian tour in 2017, while Cabello topped the charts with "Bad Things" and "Havana." Fifth Harmony's highest-charting track without her was "Down" in June 2017, and it peaked at No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Still, the remaining Fifth Harmony members seem at least somewhat aware of their issues. In December 2016, an audio clip leaked allegedly of Lauren Jauregui crying to Ally Brooke about the group's huge workload, meager pay, and greedy management. "They are making decisions on a regular basis to f**k us over, to make us literal slaves, like literally slaves Ally," Jauregui sobs. "We're doing f**king labor every day and we see nothing."
It seems the lack of mainstream success is getting to the girls, too. In March 2018, Fifth Harmony announced that they're going on a hiatus to pursue solo efforts after "six years going hard, non-stop."
My, how the mighty have fallen. Justin Timberlake was once branded the next huge male pop star, carrying the torch Michael Jackson left behind (despite throwing Jackson's own sister under the bus after the infamous "wardrobe malfunction" at the 2004 Super Bowl). However, his solo Super Bowl performance in 2018 was panned as a flop, and many believe it led to dismal sales of his album Man Of The Woods. That Grape Juice reported that the record was initially projected to sell upwards of 700,000 copies in its first week ... but actually sold less than 250,000 copies. (To be fair, it did still debut at No. 1 despite poor to middling reviews from critics.)
The album has yet to produce a hit single. "Filthy" and "Say Something" each peaked at No. 9 (with the former dropping to No. 51 in its second week), "Supplies" hit No. 71, and the title track made it to No. 79 on the Billboard Hot 100. That's not great for most artists, but that's abysmal for someone of Timberlake's level and caliber, especially when "Can't Stop The Feeling" topped the charts less than two years earlier.
Then again, maybe it's karma for all his past shady behavior.

Hermann Schild (* 16. Februar 1913 in Tschausdorf (Oder), jetzt Szczawno; † 7. April 2006 in München) war ein deutscher Radrennfahrer.

Schild begann 1931 beim RV Borussia Guben 1894 mit dem Radsport. Da er lange Zeit arbeitslos war, fuhr er die Strecken zu seinen Starts regelmäßig mit dem Rad und nach den Rennen direkt per Rad wieder nach Hause. Der damalige Reichstrainer "Matze" Schmidt war von seinen körperlichen Fähigkeiten so beeindruckt, dass er ihn 1936 in den Kader für die Olympischen Sommerspiele berief. 1937 erhielt er (gemeinsam mit seinem Chemnitzer Landsmann Herbert Gerber) ein Angebot der Presto-Werke als Berufsfahrer, dass er umgehend annahm.

Schild nahm 1937 und 1938 an der Tour de France teil, gab aber beide Male unterwegs auf. 1938 gewann er die Gesamtwertung der Deutschlandtour, die über mehr als 3000 Kilometer und 15 Etappen führte (1939 wurde er 30.). Mit neun Etappensiegen belegt er immer noch den vorderen Platz in der Statistik (gemeinsam mit Heinz Müller). Auch mit seinen 21 Tagen im Führungstrikot ist er der erfolgreichste Teilnehmer. 1939 stellte er wenige Tage vor Beginn des Zweiten Weltkrieges einen deutschen Rekord über 1 Stunde mit einem Mittel von 43,296 km/h auf der Bahn Hertogenrath auf. 1941 stürzte Schild schwer, so dass er zwar keinen Wehrdienst mehr verrichten musste, aber auch um die Fortsetzung seiner sportlichen Laufbahn fürchtete. Erst 1947 war er gesundheitlich wieder in der Lage, Radrennen zu bestreiten. Er debütierte im April dieses Jahres bei einem Rundstreckenrennen in München.

Auch nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg war Schild weiter als Berufsfahrer erfolgreich. 1950 gewann er die erste Austragung eines Straßen-Kriterium hinter Motorführung in Deutschland. Das Rennen fand auf der Berliner Avus vor 80.000 Zuschauern statt. 1952 startete er für die Mannschaft Rabeneick bei der Deutschland-Rundfahrt und platzierte sich als 30. 1953 gewann er die  DDR-Meisterschaft der Steher für Berufsfahrer.  Er wurde 1954 im Alter von 41 Jahren Deutscher Straßenmeister der Profis und kam 1957 in seinem letzten Rennen als Profi beim Klassiker Mailand–Sanremo mit dem Hauptfeld ins Ziel. Nach seiner Radsportlerkarriere (die er 1957 beendete) engagierte er sich beim RC Amor 07 München weiterhin für den Radsport.

Hermann Schild starb am 7. April 2006 in München im Alter von 93 Jahren.

— Your quinceanera —
QUINCEAÑERAS2021-08-14T00:45:49+00:00
Quinceañera, also called quinceaños or quince años or simply quince, the celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, marking her passage from girlhood to womanhood; the term is also used for the celebrant herself. Celebrate your Quinceañera at LeVenue today.
Some traditions of a Quinceañera:
The Court: Traditionally, the quinceañera court is made up of 15 chambelanes including the chambelan of honor (the one dancing with the quinceanera and 14 damas. A popular alternative is to have just seven damas and 7 chambelanes, plus the quinceañera who may choose to have or not to have a chambelan of honor. Other alternatives such as having a male-only court or a female-only court are also very common. Ultimately, the quinceanera can choose how many people and what style of court she prefers.
Quinceañera Ceremony:
Though having a ceremony is not part of the tradition in some latin cultures. It really boils down to the family's traditions. The purpose of the mass is to dedicate the young woman to God for guidance during the important transition and thereafter. Is it common to give the quinceanera a bible or prayer book as a present prior to the ceremony.
Quinceañera Bracelet/Ring: Usually given by the parents or pradinos (godparents), symbolizes the infinite circle of love from them. Both usually have the number 15 in some form and are cherished by the quinceanera. Some rings and bracelets are keepsakes that are headed down for generations.
Crowning of the Quinceañera
Crowning can take place during the religious ceremony (if you are having one) or during the changing of the shoes (cambio de zapatillas).
Shoe ceremony: This ceremony symbolizes the transition from a teenage girl into womanhood. Traditionally the quinceanera wears flat shoes that are exchanged into hills by the father or a significant male figure.
Ultima Muñeca (Last Doll)
The ultima muñeca tradition symbolizes how childhood is ending. The father gives the quinceañera her "last doll" and then she'll often gift it to a younger sister or other girl to show how she is transitioning to adulthood and becoming a young lady.
El Brindis (toast & speeches)
It commonly takes place after the formalities. It can also be incorporated as part of the main vals. Ultimately, it comes down to personal preference and costumes.
Regalo Sorpresa/Surprise Gift
In recent years the surprise gift has become very popular. Family members or friends surprise the quinceanera with a big box full of gifts and surprises that often takes a while to open. A different and fun surprise gift can also be the "Hora Loca".
Hora Loca: It's becoming one of the more popular quinceanera traditions. It functions as an icebreaker to get everyone on the dance floor after the formalities and dinner. It's literally just an hour of crazy partying characterized by playing popular and fun short clips of songs that do not relate to another. Hora Loca can include things like glow sticks, masks, props, LED robots, dancers and entertainers.
Dances:
Dances are one of the most iconics traditions in quinceaneras. Folklore marks the difference among the wide array of spanish countries. Quinceaneras can choose the dance or dances that they prefer and best fit their personality.
Vals (Waltz )
Traditionally the first dance of the night which can involve the father (or father like figure) by himself and with the court. It symbolizes the father being the first man in the quinceanera's life as well as the official presentation of the daughter as a young woman.
Vals de las Damas/Chambelanes (The Waltz with the court): Usually when the first dance was just with the father.
Baile Sopresa/Surprise Dance
Extremely popular!!! The quinceanera performs an elaborate choliograhped dance which can be a solo dance or with her court
Vals de los Padrinos (Waltz with the godparents)
There are some instances where the Quinceanera opens up the dance floor for her and her padrinos to dance together. It's the perfect time to personally thank your padrinos for being with you on such an important day.

a baby is born in Sydney, Australia. Her mother emails a photograph to the rest of the family, back home in New Delhi. Little Amala's grandfather puts it on Facebook. Within 30 seconds his other daughter is on the phone from San Francisco: 'Papa, what are you doing? Are you stupid? Take the picture down at once'.
Papa, who is not stupid, but is prone to obey his daughters simply because life's easier that way, does indeed delete his proud 'isn't she lovely?' post, although he is then immediately beleagured by contacts asking 'what happened to your granddaughter?'.
He is half-laughing and half-regretful as he tells me this. His San Francisco daughter is convinced that a Facebook photograph of Amala, even if shared only with her grandfather's friends half a world away, exposes the baby to the risk of kidnapping, child trafficking, abuse: 'You're turning her into public property, Papa; you're making her unsafe.' Now, in response to his daughter's embargo, he shows pictures of his grandchildren only by passing his phone over to friends and family in the same room… which rather defeats the 'small world' feeling that social media is supposed to create, and leaves those of us on other continents feeling left out.
I can't help thinking that Amala's American aunt is over-reacting. There's nothing to identify where the baby lives – and a good proportion of her grandfather's friends probably don't even know her surname. How can a picture or two – with carefully managed privacy settings – make her vulnerable? It's a firm dictat, though. No sight of Amala or her brother online.
I'm loosely connected with an old colleague, Lorna [name changed to protect the guilty] who takes the opposite approach. Everything her nine-year-old does is lavishly catalogued and shared – from the chocolate-smeared face she wore as a toddler (why do people think that's cute?) to her latest achievements as a tapdancer and budding gymnast.
I suppose you could argue that at least Lorna isn't presenting a rose-tinted view of her life, but I do think that accounts of bad behaviour verge on the invasive. Lorna has a lot of friends and followers, who all know when Molly has been grounded for a week or sent straight to bed after dinner; no iPad, no CBBC. But it's none of our business. If she's been 'a lippy little ****', surely that should stay within the family, within just the household, and not be shared with 2,469 people across the globe, many of whom have never met Molly but all of whom now have a thoroughly negative opinion of her.
Lorna is the very definition of a 'sharent', a not-entirely-complimentary term coined by the Wall Street Journal, originally as 'oversharenting', a combination of oversharing and parenting, meaning 'the tendency for parents to share lots of information and photos of their kids online'. It barely needs the explanation.
She takes her posting to excess (in my private and not-shared-at-office-reunions opinion) but a few pictures – birthdays, Christmas – and the odd cute saying can't cause any harm. Can they?
A recent Ofcom report revealed that more than half of UK parents (56% to be precise) agree with him, saying they don't post photos/videos of their children on social media, with 87% saying the main reason is that they want their children's lives to remain private. That's a very good thing. It's presented as a problem for the children, but it's just as big a problem for friends and followers, who are suffering the fallout from oversharenting.
Lorna's just had twins, and I can't bear the thought of how the next few years will unfold. In the battle between too many pictures and not enough, give me not enough every time.

Two public meetings (one in Harmondsworth, the other in Yiewsley) held in the Heathrow villages raised concerns about the number and location of sites that could be destroyed for the 3rd runway development. Until now, many residents in surrounding areas have not realised just how damaging another runway would be to their lives. Despite awful weather, snow and intense cold, the meetings were packed and constituency MP, John McDonnell, and Hillingdon leader, Ray Puddifoot, managed to attend. Last month Ray announced that Hillingdon Council has budgeted £200,000 for the fund to launch a legal challenge against the runway. Justine Bayley of SHE (Stop Heathrow Expansion) gave a presentation with local maps from Heathrow's consultation documents. These show the huge number of development sites that Heathrow have their eye on. She explained the individual parcels of land under threat, and their possible intended purpose. Many at the meetings had not know about these threats. There is real concern that most residents who will not be forced to leave their homes (as they are not due for demolition) have no idea that they will have to suffer severe negative impacts from a third runway, due to their proximity to it – and associated building. John McDonnell MP said it was vital to ensure that the information is spread as widely as possible.
Some of the audience members decide to have a laugh by donning their winter woollies for a quick photo before the trek home through the snow. They're a hardy bunch.

More remakes
Remakes which are better than the original
The 1944 version of Shakespeare's popular play was made as a morale booster during WWII. It was directed by Laurence Olivier, who also starred. Unfortunately it was not Sir Larry's finest hour. Kenneth Branagh's 1989 version zipped along at a fair old pace and brilliantly captured the vitality of Shakespeare's vision.
Louisa May Alcott's much-loved story of a family growing up while their father is away fighting in the American civil war has been brought to the screen numerous times. The 1933 version starring Katharine Hepburn as Jo was probably the most popular. However Gillian Armstrong's 1994 version presents the novel's themes in a way more relevant to the women of today and assembled a great cast which included Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, Clair Danes, Christain Bale and Eric Stoltz.
The 1956 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a science fiction classic about alien imposters replacing people with duplicates. It is a paranoid parable reflecting the fears of 'reds under the bed' prevalent at the time. The 1978 remake, starring the brilliant Donald Sutherland, surpasses the original with its tense, uneasy atmosphere and chilling ending.
One to argue about
Seven Samurai/The Magnificent Seven
Seven Samurai, made in 1954 by the legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, tells the story of a poor village under attack from bandits which recruits some mercenaries to protect them. It is a classic of world cinema. The Magnificent Seven, made in 1960, tells exactly the same story but the action takes place in a Mexican peasant village. It featurs Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and James Coburn.
One to look out for
Ocean's Eleven
The 1960 version was a Rat Pack caper starring Frank Sinatra and his pals. A group of 11 friends rob a series of casinos in a single night but then their plans start to unravel. The soon-to-be-released remake stars the cream of Hollywood, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia and Julia Roberts.

La Corporació de Radiodifusió Israeliana (IPBC) (en hebreu, תאגיד השידור הישראלי), més coneguda per la marca "Kan" (en hebreu, כאן, en català, «Aquí») és la radiodifusora pública d'Israel des 2017.

L'empresa va ser constituïda el 2015 com a reemplaçament de l'anterior corporació pública, l'Autoritat de Radiodifusió d'Israel (IBA). Després d'un any de negociació, el nou mitjà va poder començar les seves emissions el 15 de maig de 2017 sobre les freqüències de la seva antecesor. "Kan" gestiona nou emissores de ràdio, tres canals de televisió i un portal web multimèdia amb vídeo sota demanda.

Història
La Corporació de Radiodifusió Israelià (IPBC) és la substituta de l'Autoritat de Radiodifusió d'Israel (IBA), l'empresa pública israeliana durant 49 anys. Amb problemes financers des de la irrupció de la televisió privada en els anys 1990, la IBA arrossegava números vermells i una elevada plantilla, formada per més de 1.050 empleados. El 2014, la Knesset va aprovar una reforma dels mitjans públics israelians mitjançant el tancament de la IBA, la seva reemplaçament per una nova empresa, i l'eliminació de l'impost directe de radiodifusión.

Inicialment previst per a 2016, el llançament de IPBC ha patit diversos retards; primer a causa de les negociacions amb l'Histadrut sobre els acomiadaments, i més tard per disputes en la coalició de govern. El primer ministre Benjamin Netanyahu pretenia avortar el canvi, al·legant que la plantilla contractada per IPBC exerciria una línia informativa crítica amb l'executiu, però finalment va acordar amb els seus socis de coalició que el nou mitjà naixés sense serveis informatius, segregats en una altra empresa. No obstant això, la Cort Suprema d'Israel va suspendre l'estructura plantejada un dia abans del llançament, per la qual cosa sí que hi haurà una redacció informativa.

Les emissions de Kan van començar el 15 de maig de 2017, sobre les freqüències de l'antiga IBA que havien estat tancades un dia antes. El nou mitjà va néixer amb una plantilla de 450 empleats.

Winning in slots games is not difficult, but it does need a little knowledge and strategy, as well as a small bit of luck. Our specialists are here to assist you with anything from selecting the best slot machine to identifying the games with the highest rewards. With our practical ideas and suggestions, you'll be one step closer to learning how to win at slot machines.
Do not be duped by bogus tricks.
It is claimed by some slot players that it is feasible to control when jackpots are won by monitoring the spinning reels and determining the optimal moment to land a payline. Others advocate looking at 'near misses' to figure out when a slot machine is more likely to pay out in the future. Anyone who is familiar with the operation of a contemporary slot machine realizes that these ruses are ineffective.
When it comes to electronic and online slots, software is used to select which symbols will appear on the reels. When a player presses the spin button, the system selects the appropriate options. It is all animation, including the spinning reels and near misses that players see on their screen, which is intended to amuse and persuade players to keep the reels spinning.
Even the spinning reels may be controlled with the right software. When it comes to slot games in the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, the UK Gambling Commission has set a restriction on the amount of money players may lose by reducing the animation of the spins in a slot game to three seconds each spin.
The aforementioned recommendations provide players the impression that they can manage the game, but they do not provide them with the necessary skill to genuinely impact the result of the slot machine.
Gain an understanding of how slot machines operate.
Players must understand how slot machines operate in order to discover the keys of winning at slots. Many of the tips and tactics for winning at slot machines that are posted online are based on outdated models that are no longer in use by casinos.
Modern slot machine games, as well as online slot games, rely on random number generator (RNG) software to generate results. Even when no one is actively playing the slot machine, the complicated system creates millions of possible outcomes every second. This ensures that slot games are really random and safe, which is why RNG slots are now used by the vast majority of casinos. When the reels seem to be spinning on the slot game screen, the game is really picking a random outcome from among the many possibilities provided by the RNG software.
How Do Slot Machines Operate?
This ensures that slot machines are genuinely random, and that winning a jackpot is entirely dependent on chance. Many players are unaware that certain slot games have higher odds than others, and that by using a few basic bankroll-extension techniques, they may increase their chances of winning at slots.
Play free slots to get a feel for the game.
When it comes to winning at slots, free slot games are a must. As an alternative to investing valuable bankroll time learning how a slot machine works, players may utilize free games to familiarize themselves with the title and learn how to activate any additional features that may be available.
New slot gamers often make the mistake of squandering casino bonuses or their own money on real money slot games when they have no prior experience or knowledge of the games. Typically, they make preventable mistakes, such as spending less than the minimum necessary to activate progressive jackpots, and as a result, they lose out on possibilities to win large jackpots at slot machines. Slot players that utilize free games to learn have a larger bankroll to use for huge slot winnings since they have a larger bankroll to spend for learning.
Online casinos provide a variety of slot games that may be played for free. The gameplay is identical to that of the real money version, with the exception that players are unable to withdraw any wins earned while playing for free. Alternatively, our free slots games provide gamers with hundreds of titles to choose from, with no need to register or download anything.
Examine slot machine evaluations
If players want to learn how to win at slot machines or which games have the highest chances of winning, they should study online slot machine reviews. These will teach you how to activate bonus games, which features are the most rewarding to land, and whether or not a game is really worth your time and money. Because they are often authored by casino specialists and other players, you may put your faith in the information they provide.
In addition to reading slot reviews, do some research on the casinos you're interested in playing at. Online casino evaluations should examine a site's game selection, banking methods, and unpredictability so that gamers can choose whether it is the ideal site for them to play slots.
