  1. There seems to be a more obvious issue: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/jan/31/richard-iii-non-disabled-actor-michelle-terry-shakespeare-globe-theatre The artistic director of Shakespeare’s Globe has pushed on with playing Richard III in a summer production, but vowed not to “alter [her] physicality” following a backlash over not casting a disabled actor in the role. The Globe was criticised after it announced that Michelle Terry would play the role of Shakespeare’s scheming king who describes himself as “deformed, unfinish’d”. In recent years, disabled actors, including Mat Fraser, Kate Mulvany and Arthur Hughes, in high-profile productions have “reclaimed” a character who in real life had scoliosis – as revealed when his skeleton was discovered beneath a Leicester car park in 2012. In a lengthy statement on Tuesday, the Globe said it was “committed to developing a culture of care, empathy, equity, conversation, and accessibility across all our work”. Terry acknowledged “that for many, Richard III is an iconic disabled figure” and admitted her casting might feel like a “missed opportunity for a disabled artist to play a disabled character on a major UK stage. But she said that the role “will come around again”.
  2. Inability to learn the language not speak the language.
  3. Have you discussed this with your Lawyer? Is this something they have asked you to do?
  4. Medical emergencies – A petitioner or beneficiary is facing an urgent medical emergency that requires immediate travel.
  5. Generally Denver cannot. The only thing I can think of is that Denver has historical water rights but I have not come across that being used. It would need to be State mandated which brings some interesting challenges. I did se something about Boulder, now I know Boulder and it was Progressive before Progressive was a thing. Amused me how they used planning restrictions to have no more than a token minority presence. So basically they surrounded themselves with a big green belt and the workers bees commuted in. I will be interested how they work around not being able to theoretically do this, I have my suspicions. Even in Boulder the local rag Denver Camera was referred to as the Denver Comrade.
  6. CNN spent a lot of time this morning denying this.... So may have legs
  7. This happened in December To make any sensible comments we need information, now there are some normal issues which may of course not apply here. How did you meet How many times have you visited and for how long Age difference how much and who is older Has he ever applied before for any US visa is so what and when. Has he been married before Have you been married before Any children There is an Immigration Lawyer who has a show on You Tube and deals with a lot of Nigerian cases. He has one this afternoon, call in and explain your situation to him for free.
  8. On what basis is she able to naturalise. I would mention the child, do you have future plans for the child to immigrate to the US.
  9. Happened to me, they automatically extended it.
  10. A private plane is not going to save the planet. I supported Detroit on Sunday, we nearly moved there when I was 7. Sort of reminded me when we were away to Man Utd and Beckham would warm up on the touchline below the away supporters, there is a song we sung... WAGs do not seem so much a thing in American Football.
  11. Are you playing a gig in Japan? I have not been to the DM for sometime, I have watched a few Kansas games in the Brewery and there is a collective moan when they cut to Taylor everytime Kelsey touches the ball. There are quite a few Kansas supporters in Colorado aka Swifties. Excellent wind up.
  12. https://www.9news.com/article/news/entertainment-news/will-taylor-swift-be-at-super-bowl/507-feb10816-c571-4357-9828-0d2d977af56a The only thing that endangers Swift being at Allegiant Stadium when the Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 is her “Eras Tour” schedule. She has concerts set for Tokyo on Friday, Feb. 9 and Saturday, Feb. 10, but the time difference would allow her to be on hand for the game. As for the travel plans of her Kansas City-based fans: American Airlines added a flight from Kansas City to Las Vegas on Feb. 10, the day before the Super Bowl, at 12:30 p.m. local time — flight 1989 for Swift’s birth year and one of her albums. After the game, flight 87 — Kelce’s jersey number — leaves Las Vegas for Kansas City at 12:20 a.m. local time on Feb. 12.

  14. Hey I do the Denver stuff, the people I know tend to look on what is happening in Denver with amusement. Now when I say I go down to Denver I do not mean the downtown bit, actual Denver, but the metro area, Costco I go to for example is in Lakewood, and as far as I can tell they do not play. Unless things have changed which I doubt DPS spends the most per pupil and has the worst results in Colorado.
  15. A Green Card is for living in the US, that does not stop you making visits outside. 6 months should be the max, I did know someone who had spent 4 months in Brazil as a soccer coach and was given such a hard time at Immigration that he did not leave again until he had naturalised.
  16. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/dec/19/trump-colorado-presidential-ballot-disqualified-14th-amendment In a historic decision, the justices ordered that he be removed from the state’s presidential primary ballot, after determining that he engaged in insurrection on 6 January 2021. The ruling sets up a likely showdown in the nation’s highest court to settle whether the January 6 attack on the Capitol amounted to an insurrection, and whether Trump’s involvement disqualifies him from running for office. The 4-3 decision by the Colorado supreme court marks the first time a presidential candidate has been deemed unqualified for office under a rarely used provision that bars insurrectionists from holding office. “A majority of the court holds that Trump is disqualified from holding the office of president under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment,” the court, whose justices were all appointed by Democratic governors, wrote in its ruling. Trump has vowed to appeal to the US supreme court, his campaign said. “We have full confidence that the US supreme court will quickly rule in our favor and finally put an end to these un-American lawsuits,” said Steven Cheung, a Trump campaign spokesperson. These are the same people who keep on going on about defending Democracy. You must admit it is hilarious. Amusingly using such a broad brush interpretation I can see Old Joe having the same issues. Where does it stop? All the Dem states ban Trump and all the Repub States ban Old Joe?
  17. https://www.uscis.gov/newsroom/news-releases/dhs-announces-family-reunification-parole-process-for-ecuador Certain nationals of Ecuador who are beneficiaries of an approved Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative may be eligible to be considered for parole under the new process. Qualifying beneficiaries must be outside the United States, meet all requirements, including screening and vetting and medical requirements, and must not have already received an immigrant visa.
  18. I just noticed and I have to work! Just wondered what other people indigenous persons are doing to celebrate.
