WIDER IMAGE-Argentines Celebrate apos;eternal Love apos; For Maradona With...

By Ueslei Marcelino and Leonardo Benassatto BUENOS AIRES, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Under his shirt, pizza shop owner Guillermo Rodriguez is a walking shrine to Diego Maradona. His entire back is covered in tattoos depicting the soccer great, whose death last week at the age of 60 inspired enormous grief in Argentina and beyond. "It is something beautiful to live with him, so for us he did not die, he will continue being there for all of us, the love we have is eternal," said Rodriguez, whose pizza store is called "Siempre al 10", referring to Maradona's jersey's number. The death of Maradona has highlighted the almost cult-like adoration that grew up around the player nicknamed "el dios" (or God), [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử ba vàng] who mesmerised on the pitch and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử] inspired fans off it despite long, public battles with addiction. Argentina declared several days of national mourning for him and his body lay in state at the presidential palace. "For a woman in childbirth it is very painful. For me I felt that pain the day that Maradona died. The grief is enormous," said Cintia Veronica, who showed tattoos of Maradona on her arm, at her home in Buenos Aires. "Having that tattoo now, in this moment, is to feel that he (Maradona) is alive. I feel that he is alive." A few days after Maradona's death, fan Maximiliano Fernando is in a tattoo parlor in Buenos Aires and showing off tattoos of the player on his arm, including images where Maradona is in mid-stride, and another he is holding the World Cup aloft. "Having tattoos of Diego for me is the greatest thing there is," said Fernando, whose [http://www.deer-digest.com/?s=bedroom bedroom] walls are lined with pictures and shirts of the player. "I'm going to take him to the grave." Maradona won the World Cup with Argentina in 1986 and sparkled for Italian side Napoli, where he became a legend for his skills and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour chùa yên tử] representing Naples in Italy's poorer south. His image still appears drawn large on murals in the city. In Argentina, fans have even named their children after the player, including twin girls Mara and Dona. "It is love, it is my great love, my passion to have Diego (on my body) so he is always with me everywhere. I feel like he protects me," said Nerea Barbosa, showing photos of the star. "When I got the tattoo, many told me no, that it was not for a woman and a tattoo like that was so grotesque," said Barbosa, adding that she felt both a feminist and a "Maradonian". "I say he was an idol for women too." Maradona's death is likely to spark something of a battle over his legacy and inheritance. He has some eight children from Argentina to Cuba and Italy, with other paternity claims. Nonetheless, his wild behavior in some ways endeared him even more with supporters, giving him an everyman feel of fallibility that has [http://kscripts.com/?s=ingrained ingrained] him into the national psyche. "In reality, I don't think about what people say, whether he's good or bad or whether he's an inspiration or not," said Matias Disciosia, with a huge tattoo of Maradona's name and the number 10 on his back. "Everything related to Maradona is a source of inspiration for those who feel him and carry his soul." Devotee Luciano Zarate agreed. "Maradona's tattoo for me was so I could have him all the time with me, because he was my childhood," he said. "Maradona was my childhood and adolescence. For me he is everything."

Firefighters broke their way in shortly after 3:30am and pulled an unresponsive Hsieh from the property. CPR was administered at the scene.

However, it was reported that Hsieh's brother was there at the time, though he was unharmed. Brown sold her home in Henderson, Nevada, in May for a little over $300,000, records show, and spent $1.3 million on the three-story New London house, which is less than half a mile down the street from playwright Eugene O'Neill's childhood home.

She was part of the Vegas Golden Strings lineup that backed Imagine Dragons on Whatever It Takes before Game 2 of the NHL Final in 2018.

He then founded Venture Frogs which in 1999 invested in Zappos — named from Zapatos, Spanish for shoes — and he took over as CEO. He was worth an estimated $840 million yet lived in an Airstream trailer in Las Vegas. He had a passion for llamas and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử ba vàng] alpacas and owned a pet alpaca named Marley. The area he lived in in Vegas became known as Llamapolis. After leaving Zappos he said he would relocate to Park City, Utah. Hsieh was known as an iconoclastic boss. One of his schemes was to offer $1,000 for every year served up to a maximum of $5,000 for any employee who wanted to leave. He believed that if they no longer had the passion to want to work for him it was better to pay them to quit.

By Polina Devitt MOSCOW, Dec 1 (Reuters) - Russian mining giant Norilsk Nickel, hit by a fuel spill at an Arctic power station in May, will spend $600 million by 2030 collecting Soviet-era waste around its Arctic sites, it said on Tuesday. The spill, which Greenpeace has compared to the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill off Alaska, released 21,000 tonnes of diesel from a rusty-looking fuel tank into rivers and soil near the city of Norilsk in Siberia. "Lessons have been learned from the recent environmental incident," [http://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=Nornickel Nornickel] said in a statement. It cleaned up the area after the spill and set aside $2 billion for environmental damage claim by the country's watchdog which it currently disputes in court. "A very important strategic focus will be put on the elimination of legacy pollution, including dismantling of abandoned buildings and structures, metal waste management and recycling as well as sanitary cleaning of the territory." The legacy waste in the industrial city of Norilsk, built 300 km inside the Arctic Circle, is massive partly due to its history and lack of roads to other parts of the country. Prisoners from Stalin's labour camps built the first smelter there 85 years ago. [http://www.traveldescribe.com/?s=Nornickel%27s Nornickel's] $600 million programme will target 467 abandoned buildings and structures there in 2021-2030.

President Donald Trump Has Reportedly Been In Talks With His Advisers About Pardons For His Children Ivanka Eric And Don Jr As Well As His Son-in-law Jared Kushner And His Personal Lawyer Rudy Giuliani

President Donald Trump has reportedly been in talks with his advisers about pardons for his children Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr, as well as his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani. According to the [ ], the president is worried that a Biden administration may seek retribution against him by targeting the oldest of his five children. However, presidential pardons do not provide protection against state or local crimes. The president reportedly asked aides if he has the right to pardon himself and family members and has even asked if he could issue pardons pre-emptively for things people could be [https://www.change.org/search?q=charged charged] with in the future.

Above, (From R) Barron Trump, First Lady Melania Trump, President Trump, Tiffany Trump, Donald Trump Jr, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lara Trump, Eric Trump, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner and Michael Boulos According to the Times, Kushner provided false information to federal authorities about his contacts with foreigners for his security clearance. Despite that, he was given a security clearance anyway. It's unclear why Trump is concerned about potential criminal exposure of Eric or [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour chùa yên tử] Ivanka. But, the Times reported that a probe by the Manhattan district attorney into the Trump Organization is now including tax write-offs on millions of dollars in consulting fees, some of which appear to have gone to Ivanka. Earlier on Tuesday it was reported that, Giulani discussed a preemptive pardon for himself with Trump, while arguing he can overturn the results of an 'illegitimate election'. The former New York mayor has been the most vocal and out-front defender of Trump's unsubstantiated charges of election fraud, seeking to persuade numerous states that went for Joe Biden to overturn their results. It's unclear who brought up the idea, but their discussion took place last week, sources told the Times. On the day before Thanksgiving, Trump pardoned former National Security Advisor Mike Flynn, who had pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his Russia contacts, then sought to withdraw the plea in court. Giuliani has reportedly been under investigation by federal prosecutors in New York over his work in Ukraine, which became the heart of Trump's impeachment. The impeachment revealed efforts by Giuliani and his associates to push out the former US ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch. President Donald Trump is said to have been asked by his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani for a pre-emptive pardon Draft documents revealed last [ ] Giuliani seeking to have Ukrainian government officials pay substantial fees to his consulting firm, although there is no evidence the deals went through. Giuliani denied the report on Twitter. '#FakeNews NYT lies again. Never had the discussion they falsely attribute to an anonymous source. Hard to keep up with all their lies,' he wrote. He represented Trump pro bono in his efforts to defend against the Democratic-led impeachment. The Times previously reported Giuliani is being paid $20,000 per day in his election defense, although he has denied that figure. On Monday, Giuliani associate Lev Parnas pleaded not guilty to defrauding in investors through the Florida-based company he set up, called Fraud Guarantee. The Ukraine-born Parnas assisted Giuliani in his efforts to dig up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine. Parnas tweeted Tuesday 'Pardons were always discussed in the #TrumpCult. The question is will you accept one? Innocent people don't need a pardon.'

There is precedent for presidents using their virtually limitless pardon power preemptively. Gerald Ford famously preemptively pardoned Richard Nixon, and paid a political price for it. There has also been talk in legal circles about whether Trump could seek to issue a self-pardon in order to wipe away potential legal exposure for himself. Even if it were upheld, Trump could still be subject to prosecution in state courts. New York investigators have already been investigating alleged possible insurance and financial fraud. Giuliani was in Arizona on Monday attending a Republican-led hearing-style event where he laid out broad claims of election fraud even as the state's Republican governor [/news/fox-news/index.html Fox News][/news/fox-news/index.html Fox News] host Sean Hannity suggested Trump should pardon himself and his family before leaving the White House in January. The suggestion was made on Hannity's Fox News radio show on Monday while discussing how Trump last week announced a full pardon for his former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Speaking to former Trump attorney Sidney Powell - fired from Trump's 'elite strike force' legal team when her conspiracy theories went to far even for the president - Hannity suggested that the president needed to protect himself from future legal investigations in order to protect himself from the incoming Biden administration. Hannity said that Biden was being publicly encouraged to investigate and prosecute Trump for any criminal misconduct while he was president. 'The president out the door needs to pardon his whole family and himself, because they want this witch hunt to go on in perpetuity. They're so full of rage and insanity against the president,' Hannity said. 'I mean, I assume that the power of the pardon is absolute, and that he should be able to pardon anybody that he wants to?' 'It is absolute it's in the Constitution,' Powell confirmed. Powell, who has been key to pushing an election conspiracy that corrupt voting machines stole the election from Trump, then added that she did not know about Trump's 'authority to pardon himself'. Powell then went on to suggest that such a pardon should not be necessary because 'the president is going to get another four years in office to finish the job he started because the election fraud we're uncovering is massive'. Trump's pardon on Wednesday of Flynn kicked off speculation that a string of pardons could be next - including for the president and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour chùa yên tử] his family. The president has granted clemency to supporters before, most notably earlier this year when he commuted the criminal sentence of Roger Stone, who was sentenced to prison after being convicted of lying under oath to lawmakers. In 2018, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-du-lich-le-hoi-yen-tu-chua-ba-vang-quang-ninh-du-lich-yen-tu-tu-ha-noi.html tour yên tử] Trump even said he had the 'absolute right' to pardon himself - a claim many constitutional law scholars dispute. After he pardoned Flynn, Trump shared a tweet on Wednesday from Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz, one of his closest allies on Capitol Hill, who said the president should also consider a pardon for himself. 'President Trump should pardon Flynn, the Thanksgiving turkey, and everyone from himself, to his admin, to Joe Exotic if he has to,' Gaetz wrote. <div class="art-ins mol-factbox news" data-version="2" id="mol-1d0d1070-33fd-11eb-96dc-7defd57b17af" website 'discusses pardons for Ivanka, Eric and Don Jr'

By Matt Donnelly LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) - Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated star of "Juno" and Netflix's "The Umbrella Academy," has announced he is transgender. Elliot, formerly known as Ellen Page, addressed his numerous social media followers saying: "Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can't begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self. I've been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society," he wrote. "I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive. To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better," Page continued. Page uses both he/him and they/them pronouns, and describes himself as transgender and non-binary, meaning that their gender identity is neither man nor woman. Nick Adams, GLAAD's Director of Transgender Media, said "Elliot Page has given us fantastic characters on-screen, and has been an outspoken advocate for all LGBTQ people. He will now be an inspiration to countless trans and non-binary people. All transgender people deserve the chance to be ourselves and to be accepted for who we are. We celebrate the remarkable Elliot Page today." Page broke out from his native Canada in 2005 with the revenge thriller "Hard Candy."

Prisoners from Stalin's labour camps built the first smelter there 85 years ago. Nornickel's $600 million programme will target 467 abandoned buildings and structures there in 2021-2030. More than 600,000 tonnes of scrap metal are expected to be collected. The waste collection will be part of Nornickel's wider environment investment plans, which target a reduction in sulphur dioxide emissions in the area by 2025. Its environmental projects and output growth strategy will require more than $27 billion in total within the next 10 years, including $5.5 billion needed for the environment projects. It plans to upgrade 60% of its energy infrastructure by 2030. ([http://lerablog.org/?s=Reporting Reporting] by Polina Devitt; editing by Nick Macfie)
