Everyone should listen to Geraldo Rivera Radio today interviewing the former President of Peru, Alejandro Toledo.

Geraldo's very good news/talk radio show is on every morning on WABC New York from 10-12 in the Eastern time zone..............7-9 AM in San Diego.

This United States educated President said that education was a right of  every citizen.

He also  shared with the listeners his predicition that in 20 years the United States would in fact be a nation with a  majority of Hispanics as immigrants and that we will have a  Hispanic president.

President Toledo was on the radio today to talk about  his  new book  The Shared Society--A Vision For The Global Vision Of Latin America.

He shared with Geraldo his thought that education was  the right of every citizen of Peru and Latin America.

The people of Latin America are coming to the US to have a better life and a better life for their children.

When asked about the recent visit of Pope Francis President Toledo shared the idea that natural resources of a country should be used for the education of the citizens.  When people have  an education they have better health care, better opportunities and simply lead a life of higher quality.

Now with the advent of the cell phone and technology available to individuals of all levels of society the citizens of every nation are becoming more impatient for an education.

I  wish everyone could listen to this man speak--it was quite inspirational.

One can always listen to the podcast if they miss the  show simply by going to WABC.com and jumping over to "on-demand."

Geraldo Rivera has one of the best radio shows out there  if you are a  talk radio fan like me......all of the big talkers call in and the average workaday citizen.  Geraldo lets them talk and have their say and that is a breath of fresh air in talk radio today.....particularly conservative talk radio.

Good job, today, Geraldo......thank you for letting us hear your very informative and inspirational conversation with President Alejandro Toledo of Peru.


I found this on Yahoo Finance talking about the interview:

Donald Trumps Hair: Mystery Solved

The Hair:  Always in the news.......



What makes it tick?

What is the story behind it?

What is the true color?

How does it stay in place?


the ronnie republic has answered these questions...........


After careful lengthy observation and prolonged thought it  seems the mystery can be  solved by talking about the  cut.

It  isn't cut--more accurately it is  not layered.

It  is  all  one length cut somewhere in the back--as if it was  hand held or a pony tail that has been cut off--the blunt  cut.

It  is a  blunt  cut--combed back and held with spray.

Note the photos--in the example of the German Shepard--the hair is long but it is all the same length.  Donald has employed the strategy of the human being with long hair of one length but  simply cut it off shorter and held it in place with massive amounts of hair spray.






But Why.........




Why does it  fall forward in that odd way.........

Because the hair is too long for the  style and his hair is  thin in texture--he may have a lot of thin hair.

This look is difficult to pull off even for the beautiful people and once age becomes a factor, almost impossible.
So I am proposing the strange style, often referred to as the comb over, is  actually a comb back of one length of hair, held with spray and grocery store style box colored.

Maybe the attempt is  to cover the  balding crown  with the  majority of the hair in the front plagued by  a low forehead.

The wind is always unpredictable and risky
Look at  the back and the sides--suggesting the sides are also long and again combed back, cut in one length at  the neckline.

Well,  what do you think.................

Opposing views accepted.Image result for donald trumps hair

Check out this post suggesting he is suffering from a pretty good hair style in the 70's that has aged poorly........you know, like  the 60 year old lady with a high pony tail, gray hair and bangs--what looked really good at one time is now dated.

Perhaps the donald wants the look of the 70's for today---you know the philosophy--oh, I really have long hair but I just  cut it off and combed it back because I have to get a job now......I'm still young  and cool.

At the end of the day this is the look Donald Trump would like to achieve--this is the message he is really trying to send--but when it comes to color, texture, strength, confidence--it might just come down to gene pool.

Riding Bikes in London

Going for gold this weekend?

Stratford to Barking; Go east for a mostly traffic-free circuit with an Olympic view

Updated: 12:42, 09 July 2015

Start the day at View Tube Café by treating yourself to coffee and cake while taking in the stunning views of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and futuristicArcelor Mittal Orbit, the UK’s tallest sculpture. Then pick up a Santander Cycle from the docking station on Bromley High Street, and leave the 21st century behind. This meandering route takes you down the towpath beside the Three Mills Wall River. There have been mills on this site since the Domesday Book. Look out forHouse Mill, a Grade 1 listed building constructed in 1776 and still the world’s largest tidal mill, and don’t miss the Clasping Hands sculpture, a moving memorial to a fatal accident in 1901. After negotiating the famous floating towpath, head south west along Limehouse Cut, London’s first navigable canal opened in 1770, toLimehouse Basin, keeping an eye out for moorhens, coots and other waterfowl along the way.
 
From the calm canalside the route brings you into the buzz of Canary Wharf. Dock your cycle at Westferry DLR and head over to the Museum of London Docklands(free entry) for a fascinating insight into the history of the area. Pick up another bike (your next docking station is Bromley) to continue anticlockwise, passingBillingsgate Fish Market and the Excel Centre before returning via the Greenway to View Tube Café.

This route is provided by the British Cycling’s as part of its free guided ride programme. For other bike rides visit tfl.gov.uk/leisureroutes

CAIRO:  Egyptian-born film legend Omar Sharif, who has died aged 83, captivated audiences worldwide for more than half a century, but will forever be remembered as the eponymous "Doctor Zhivago".

Known for his debonair style, raffish good looks and often mischievous joie de vivre, Sharif, who also gained worldwide fame as a bridge player, had Alzheimer's disease.

He died of a heart attack, his agent Steve Kenis said in London.

Sharif began acting in the 1950s and his most high-profile roles were in the 1960s when he won an Oscar nomination for "Lawrence of Arabia" and Golden Globes for the same film and for "Doctor Zhivago".

His role in "Lawrence of Arabia" as Sharif Ali, an Arab chief enlisted by Peter O'Toole's T.E. Lawrence in Britain's fight against the Turks in World War I, propelled him to stardom, setting the stage for an even higher profile role in David Lean's subsequent release, "Doctor Zhivago".

Sharif played the hero in the epic adaptation of Boris Pasternak's novel of tortured passions during the Russian Revolution, with his real-life son Tarek playing his younger self.

The actor, fluent in Arabic, English, French, Greek, Italian and Spanish, went on to star in many films and television productions, including alongside Barbra Streisand in 1968's "Funny Girl".

But he never again scaled the heights of critical acclaim as in his work with Lean.

Sharif kept working over the following decades, often in television movies, and in later years became equally renowned for his prowess as a bridge player and owner of thoroughbred racehorses.

- Venice best actor award -
He co-wrote a syndicated bridge newspaper column in the 1970s and 80s, and wrote several books and licensed his name to the computer game "Omar Sharif Bridge".

"I'd rather be playing bridge than making a bad movie," he once said, before saying in 2006 that he had given up the game.

Sharif made something of a comeback in 2003 in the title role of the French film "Monsieur Ibrahim", playing an elderly Muslim shopkeeper.

The performance won him a best actor award at the Venice Film Festival and the best actor Cesar, France's equivalent of an Oscar.

In his later years he continued making movies and television films, including "I forgot to Tell You" in 2009 and "Rock the Casbah" in 2013.

Born Michel Demitri Shalhoub on April 10, 1932 in the Egyptian Mediterranean city of Alexandria to parents of Syrian and Lebanese extraction, he was raised a Catholic.

He studied at Alexandria's Victoria College before gaining a degree in mathematics and physics from Cairo University.

He joined his father's lumber business, but the acting bug had taken hold while he was studying, and in 1954 he made his silver screen debut in the Egyptian film "Siraa Fil-Wadi" ("The Blazing Sun") by Youssef Chahine.

The movie's romantic intrigue was echoed off screen as he married the leading lady, renowned Egyptian actress Faten Hamama, converting to Islam and renaming himself Omar Sharif.

They had one son, Tarek, before divorcing in 1974. Hamama died in January 2015.

- Playboy lifestyle -
Sharif never remarried, but had another son, Robin, from a brief relationship with Italian journalist Lula De Luca.

He lived between France, Italy and the United States, before settling again in Egypt.

His playboy lifestyle of fine hotels, casinos and restaurants from California to the Cote d'Azur was not without its brushes with controversy.

In August 2003, he received a one-month sentence and a 1,500-euro fine for headbutting a policeman outside a Paris casino. He was unrepentant, saying: "It made me the hero of the whole of France. To head-butt a cop is the dream of every Frenchman."

He was also ordered to take an anger management course by a California court in 2005, after punching a parking attendant in a dispute over whether he could pay in euros rather than dollars.

Sharif had a triple heart bypass in 1992 and suffered a mild heart attack in 1994, according to the IMDb movie database website. The 100-cigarettes-a-day smoker quit after the operation.

In January 2011, during Egypt's popular uprising Sharif called for then president Hosni Mubarak to stand down, while at the same time expressing doubts about the Muslim Brotherhood.
