  • Romanian Leftist Social Democrats Take Lead in Parliamentary Vote
    TOP STORIES MENU Romanian leftist Social Democrats take lead in parliamentary vote SWISSINFO.CH | 3 MONTHS AGO | 2 MINUTES, 32 SECONDS READ This content was published on December 7, 2020 - 11:40 By Luiza Ilie BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's opposition Social Democrats (PSD) have taken the lead in Sunday's national election, seen as pivotal for the country's future in the European mainstream, according to partial results on Monday, but are unlikely to form the next government. The PSD, which rode a wave of voter discontent over the coronavirus pandemic and the minority Liberal government's pledges of fiscal restraint, will struggle to form a functioning majority against incumbent Prime Minister Ludovic Orban. President Klaus Iohannis, an ally of the Liberals who gets to nominate the prime minister, has said repeatedly that he will task Orban with forming a centre-right coalition government to rein in a ballooning budget deficit and restore the European Union state's credibility among foreign investors. Under Romanian law, the president is not obligated to pick a prime minister from the winning party if it did not secure an outright majority. Orban himself claimed victory on Sunday evening after exit polls showed the outcome was too close to call, saying he was confident he could build a centre-right coalition government. Partial results showed that the PSD had won just under 30% of votes for both houses of parliament, while the Liberals got 25-26%. The centrist alliance USR-Plus, a likely coalition partner for the Liberals, won 15-16% of votes. Parliamentary seat redistributions will change the final percentages and favour the largest parties, but analysts said the Liberals and USR-Plus would probably need to co-opt at least one other grouping to gain a majority, raising the prospect of difficult negotiations over key portfolios and policies.

  • Meghan and Harry That They Would Have to Accept What Was on Offer and Not Demand What Was Not
    Contents Title Page Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 4 Chapter 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapter 11 Chapter 12 Photo Section Copyright CHAPTER 1 On May 19th 2018, when Meghan Markle stepped out of the antique Rolls Royce conveying her and her mother Doria Ragland from the former Astor stately home Cliveden to St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, where she was due to be married at 12 noon, she was a veritable vision of loveliness. At that moment, one of the biggest names of the age was born. As the actress ascended the steps of St. George’s Chapel, its interior and exterior gorgeously decorated in the most lavish and tasteful spring flowers, she was a picture of demure and fetching modesty, stylish elegance, transparent joyousness, and radiant beauty. The simplicity of her white silk wedding dress, designed by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, with its bateau neckline, three-quarter length sleeves, and stark, unadorned but stunningly simple bodice and skirt, coupled with the extravagant veil, five metres long and three metres wide, heavily embroidered with two of her favourite flowers (wintersweet and California poppy, as well as the fifty three native flowers of the various Commonwealth countries, and symbolic crops of wheat, and a piece of the blue dress that the bride had worn on her first date with the groom), gave out a powerful message. All bridal gowns make statements. Diana, Princess of Wales, according to her friend Carolyn Pride, used hers to announce to the world, ‘Here I am.

  • NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions by Ned Hémard
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard It Was Fascination If one happened to miss the Kentucky Derby or the Preakness, he or she can still view the third and final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, on June 11, 2011. For the Anglophile, however, there’s always the Ascot Racecourse (located in the small town of Ascot, Berkshire). This course is approximately six miles from Windsor Castle, and owned by the Crown Estate. Royal Ascot, one of Europe's most famous race meetings (founded by Queen Anne in 1711), will be held on Tuesday, June 14, 2011, to Saturday, June 18, the highlight being the Ascot Gold Cup. Every year Royal Ascot is attended by Her Majesty, Elizabeth II, and various members of the British Royal Family, arriving at the start of each race day in a horse-drawn carriage with a Royal procession. It is a major event in the British social calendar, and press coverage of what the attendees are wearing often eclipses coverage of the actual horse racing. If one is special, he or she may be invited to the Royal Enclosure. But there are rules that must be obeyed. The official “Royal Ascot” website spells out the dress code: “Off the shoulder, halter neck, spaghetti straps and dresses with a strap of less than one inch and miniskirts are considered unsuitable. Midriffs must be covered and trouser suits must be full length and of matching material and colour.” “Gentlemen are required to wear either black or grey morning dress, including a waistcoat, with a top hat.

The greatest event in the memory of this generation, the most stupendous change COWES,in existing conditions that could possibly* be imagined, took place quietly, almost gently, upon the eve of the anniversary of the death of the Queen's father, the Duke of The end of this career, never equaled by any woman 'in the world's history, came in a simply furnished room in Osborne House. This most respected of women, living or dead, lay in a great four-posted bed and made a shrunken atom whose aged face and figure were a cruel mockery of the fair girl who in1837 began to rule over England. Around her were gathered almost every descendant of her line. Well within view of her dying eyes there hung a portrait of the Prince Consort. It was he who designed the room and every part of the castle. In scarcely audible words the white-haired Bishop, of Winchester prayed beside her as he had often prayed with his sovereign, for he was her, chaplain at Windsor. With bowed heads the imperious ruler of the German empire and the man who is now King of Eng- land, the woman who has succeeded to the title of Queen, the Princes and Princesses and those of less than royal designation, listened to the Bishop's prayer.
