  1. Perhaps it has changed back and fore over the years, I agree something that would be seared in the memory.
  2. I have only seen minor typos and they were not an issue.
  3. I do not remember that but maybe I blanked it from my memory.
  4. Too late now but a US Court divorce would have been simpler. To me it sounds like you are ok but I am not a lawyer certainly not familiar with Chinese law
  5. Mexico and some other countries give you a pass if you have a visa to the US etc. I guess they assume if you managed to get a US one you will not be abusing your privilege.
  6. Did you enter the DV?
  7. They would need to naturalise before they can sponsor a Married Child.
  8. I have always thought the Legal system is the one that will bring GAC to an end, well coupled with the Insurance system not covering medical malpractice. There may be exceptions like the Military where effectively there re no financial controls. Certainly of I was a Lawyer wanting to specialise I would be licking my lips, lots of money to be made.
  9. I have heard of teachers being sponsored in challenging areas, Normally the Unions would not be happy but where there is no other option they tend not to mind so much. I think J's are used as well as H.
  10. They could file now, it will be around 4 months after the 3 months allowed, but not sure I would as I think there will be a fight which you do not want. Also this is a K1 so they could always play dirty.
  11. Now this is stunning and brave "Trans age is the next new thing" - Riley Gaines reacts to swimming competition allowing 50-year-old transgender swimmer to compete with teenage girls The organization held the championship on October 20, in which 10 female swimmers took part. While nine of the swimmers were between 13 to 14 years of age, the tenth swimmer turned out to be a 50-year-old biological man named Nicholas J. Cepeda, a.k.a Melody Wiseheart. https://www.sportskeeda.com/swimming/news-trans-age-next-new-thing-riley-gaines-reacts-swimming-competition-allowing-50-year-old-transgender-swimmer-compete-teenage-girls
  12. 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.
  13. I just noticed and I have to work! Just wondered what other people indigenous persons are doing to celebrate.
  14. I thought this was interesting, the EU has many issues of course and this is not the one thing I thought would bring it down. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/22/migration-eu-diplomat-josep-borrell-ukraine-china Migration could be “a dissolving force for the European Union” due to deep cultural differences between European countries and their long-term inability to reach a common policy, the EU’s most senior diplomat has said. Although Russia will try to fan the flames on migration inside Europe, Josep Borrell denied that the conflict in Ukraine was contributing to the crisis, which he described as a decades-old problem fuelled by wars and poverty in departure countries. This I certainly will agree with: In a wide-ranging interview with the Guardian reflecting on how the EU had been changed by the war and where the bloc fits in this new world order, he said European countries had been forced to wake from a siesta on defence spending, in which they had lived under the American nuclear umbrella. And this: At a subsequent lecture at the New York University Law School, he said the UN security council had been proved “completely useless in recent years due to its divisions” and called for an overhaul of political and financial institutions to revive a multilateralism that “is outdated and running out of steam”.
  15. https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/12/politics/susanna-gibson-virginia-sex-acts/index.html I really do not care about her side gig. But you livestream on the Internet, and then claim invasion of privacy. How does that make any sense?
  16. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12311475/Harry-Meghan-asked-fly-Air-Force-One-Biden-Queens-funeral-denied-Jill-didnt-attend-Invictus-Games-avoid-upsetting-Royals-Sussexes-attempts-political-players-America-faltering.html
  17. https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/10/sport/brittney-griner-dallas-airport-harassment/index.html Brittney Griner, the WNBA star who was freed from Russia late last year after being wrongfully detained, was harassed Saturday by a man described as a social media “provocateur” at a Dallas airport. A source familiar with the incident told CNN that around 9:30 am CT, Griner was at the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport traveling with Phoenix Mercury teammates on their way to a game. Griner was confronted by the man who was yelling at her about “the Merchant of Death.” The confrontation got so heated that the man was tackled, and law enforcement was involved, according to the source. CNN has reached out to local law enforcement and the DFW airport about the incident. “The health and well-being of our players and staff are our top priority and we will always take every step within our power to protect player safety,” the statement said. “No one, regardless of identity, should ever fear for their safety. We will be coordinating with the WNBA on next steps,” it continued. Griner’s teammate, Brianna Turner, posted to Twitter on Saturday, saying, “Player safety while traveling should be at the forefront. People following with cameras saying wild remarks is never acceptable. Excessive harassment. Our team nervously huddled in a corner unsure how to move about. We demand better.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think I would recognise Bob, but any other member of the WNBA? I thought they would be delighted somebody recognised them.
  18. I had not really thought about this other than being told when checking out at a Supermarket now is the time to enter your Coupons, what Coupons? I would assume they were overcharging up front to pay for the rebate so look for something else.
  19. https://www.givesendgo.com/daniel_penny $315k as posting, it went up $30k in 10 minutes?
  20. WashingtonCNN — Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, was attacked at the couple’s home in San Francisco early Friday morning, the Democratic speaker’s office said in a statement. He is expected to make a full recovery. Drew Hammill, a spokesman for Nancy Pelosi, said the assailant is in custody and a motive is being investigated. The speaker was in Washington at the time of the attack, a spokesperson said. This story is breaking and will be updated. https://www.cnn.com/2022/10/28/politics/paul-pelosi-attack/index.html Not sure it is supposed to work like this.
