Erdogan se dirige a una segunda vuelta en las reñidas elecciones de Turquía

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:28 GMT

(CNN) — Ni el presidente de Turquía, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ni su principal rival parecían haber asegurado el 50% de los votos para ganar las elecciones, según mostraron los resultados electorales preliminares, lo que aumenta las perspectivas de una segunda vuelta.La agencia de noticias estatal Anadolu informó proyecciones basadas en el 97,95% de los votos contados, mostrando que Erdogan tiene el 49,34% de los votos, en comparación con el 44,99% del principal candidato de la oposición, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.El tercer candidato, Sinan Ogan, recibió el 5,28% de los votos, según Anadolu, lo que plantea la posibilidad de que pueda ser un hacedor de reyes en una segunda vuelta. Tuiteó que una segunda votación es “muy posible” y que “los nacionalistas turcos y los ataturkistas están en una posición clave para esta elección”.Las elecciones de este domingo suponen el mayor desafío hasta la fecha para el líder turco. Erdogan se enfrenta a dificultades económicas y a la crítica de que el im...

Desde el pop-rap viral de Drake hasta los himnos de protesta de Kendrick Lamar, estos fueron los momentos decisivos de la música en la década de 2010

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:28 GMT

(CNN) — La década de 2010 pareció más un siglo que una década. En 10 años, la cultura pop evolucionó (y, en opinión de algunos, involucionó) más rápido que nunca, debido en gran parte a la llegada y la influencia cada vez mayor de las redes sociales.El clima cultural y el panorama digital también influyeron en la música que escuchábamos: empezamos la década en la era de Obama, cargada de optimismo, y la terminamos con una pandemia y un clima político muy divisivo. Pero estuvimos en línea durante todo ese tiempo, y aplicaciones como Spotify y TikTok catapultaron ciertas canciones y géneros a la popularidad e incluso influyeron en el tipo de música que se hace.Series de la “era dorada de la TV” que marcaron la década de 2010Repasa algunas de las tendencias musicales predominantes que definieron una década voluble, desde el pop-rap y las boy bands hasta la tristeza estética y los himnos de protesta.El rap sigue la ruta viral del popA principios de la década de 2010, l...

More job offers include retirement benefits, student loan help

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:28 GMT

Over a year of rapid wage growth has U.S. companies turning to enhanced benefits to attract and retain workers.Mentions of employee benefits in job postings on ZipRecruiter soared to the highest rates on record, according to an analysis by the jobs site. A greater share of positions offered benefits like health insurance, paid time off, and paid parental leave than in prior years.One in four jobs now offer retirement benefits, and a growing number are offering student loan repayment and tuition assistance.“Customers tell ZipRecruiter that they are trying to end out-of-cycle wage increases and cap the size of regular increases to keep costs under control,” said Julia Pollak, chief economist at the jobs website.Against a backdrop of low unemployment and high employee turnover, “many are therefore expanding their benefits offerings.”Despite some recent cooling in the labor market, many companies are still struggling to fill positions and limit attrition given the enduring mismatch betw...

Emilio Estevez brings ‘The Way’ back to theaters

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:28 GMT

With a nationwide release Tuesday via Fathom Events, Emilio Estevez’s “The Way,” a movie about faith, hope and life’s unexpected turns, gets a rare second chance.The way in “The Way” is the legendary Camino de Santiago, a nearly 500-mile pilgrimage route in France and Spain that’s over a thousand years old.As director, co-star, writer and producer, Estevez, who turned 61 last Friday, made a personal film far from the Hollywood arena of “The Mighty Ducks” and “Young Guns” that made his reputation (and his fortune).It was actually his son Taylor, then 19, who sparked the idea of a movie centered on various Camino travelers.“He fell in love with a Spanish gal and they got married back in 2009, which was when we started shooting the film,” Estevez recalled in a phone interview from Cincinnati where he’s lived the last 12 years.“I’d been going over there to visit him and I thought, ‘The only way I’m going to spend time with my son is to actually figure out how to make a movie...

Editorial: More grim news from nation’s report card

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:28 GMT

Those well-steeped in our nation’s history long ago learned the inspiring story of how President George Washington delivered his stirring Gettysburg Address, a four-hour oration, in an effort to revive hope among Americans struggling during the Great Depression of the 1920s.Or maybe not.Last week, the National Assessment of Educational Progress — the nation’s “report card” — released the results of standardized tests given last year to eighth graders across the country on civics and history. Turn away if you seek to avoid depressing news.Just 13% of students met proficiency standards in history, meaning “they could explain major themes, periods, events, people, ideas and turning points in the country’s history,” according to The Wall Street Journal. About 20% reached proficiency in civics.In other words, only a small percentage of American kids poised to enter high school probably would be able to identify more than two errors in this essay’s lead sentence, if they could identify an...

Schoen: Reaction to Feinstein’s return speaks volumes about pols

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:28 GMT

California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, returned to Washington, D.C. on Wednesday after an extended medical leave, which caused her to miss dozens of key Senate votes and prompted calls for her resignation.In addition to halting business on the committee – which was evenly split between Democratic and Republican Senators in her absence – for three months, Feinstein’s leave regrettably provoked a predictable political response from both sides: Republicans doubled-down on partisan obstructionism, while a divided Democratic Party played identity politics.To be sure, Feinstein has put Senate Democrats in an awkward position for months by insisting that she would be returning but not providing any indication as to when.She missed 91 votes during her prolonged absence , according to an NBC news tally, Politico reporting, as well as the Senator’s website, which enumerates her voting history. Feinstein’s absence held up vital Senate business, in...

Dear Abby: Controlling man wants girlfriend on hand 24/7

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:43:28 GMT

Dear Abby:  I’m 42 and my guy friend is 59. He’s a wonderful person and a great provider. I’ve known him for about a year now, but he seems a bit controlling. He wants me around seven days a week and expects me to be this submissive woman that I’m not. I’m very independent. I always earned my way in life with little to no help at all.I’m not perfect. I admit I can be a little confusing at times. But his constant complaining about how I’m not there confuses me. When I come over and hang out and spend time with him, he pushes me away and says it is my fault. Mind you, I have a 7-year-old daughter. I like him a lot, but he tends to be too much. Should I let it go or try to find some common ground and work things out? — Confused in the SouthDear Confused: I would vote for the former. Because you have a young daughter to care for, you cannot be at this “wonderful” high-maintenance man’s beck and call 24/7. If you can conve...
