Why Meghan Markle WON'T become a princess if she marries Prince Harry - Duration: 2:20.
Why Meghan Markle WON'T become a princess if she marries Prince Harry.
The Queen may have a very different title in mind, should Harry and Meghan make it down
the aisle.
She's the beautiful actress and activist who's not only won the heart of a prince, but is
also said to be winning over the entire Royal family, one member at a time.
The Suits actress reportedly the Queen for the first time on Mother's Day, having already
met Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cambridge.
The reports that Meghan is set to attend Pippa Middleton's wedding today obviously adds heat
to already feverish speculation that Harry is intending to pop the question.
Then there's the rumours she's set to leave Suits, plus her accompanying Harry to the
wedding of one his closest friends.
So, if that was to happen, would the UK be getting another princess?
After all, when Kate Middleton got her prince, she became one.
Princess Meghan?
Well, technically, Kate isn't in fact a princess in her own right - and nor would Meghan be
if she did marry Harry.
When Kate and William married, the Queen granted them the dukedom of Cambridge to the couple,
making Kate Her Royal Highness, Catherine Duchess of Cambridge, Forbes explains.
Kate may be considered a princess by marriage and has the title of HRH Princess William,
but technically she's a Duchess and that's the title used.
The British Monarchy's rules can be pretty opaque at times, but when it comes to titles,
The Firm are clear-cut.
The right to use a title such as Princess, Duchess or Countess applies JUST to the lucky
folk born into the Royal Family, like Prince George, or Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice.
What this means for Meghan is, well, precisely the same as it did for Kate.
Should Harry propose and should the Queen sanction the marriage, it's likely to she'll
grant him and Meghan a dukedom.
Experts believe the queen has 'reserved' the Dukedom of Sussex, open since 1843, for Harry.
So while that would make Meghan Her Royal Highness Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, she still
wouldn't be a princess.

White House Vows to Audit the Pentagon, Which Would Be a First - politics - Duration: 7:40.
White House Vows to Audit the Pentagon, Which Would Be a First
The goal is audacious enough, but promises of a record spending increase makes it even
more complicated.
The Pentagon will spend the next several months gearing up for a mission so complicated that
many officials doubt it can be pulled off, an undertaking so immense that the military
hasn�t once dared to try it before.
No, this isn�t a story about deploying a fancy new weapon, or unveiling a new aircraft,
or launching a military operation of any kind: The Department of Defense is preparing for
its first-ever audit.
That the nation�s most sprawling and expensive bureaucracy�and the world�s largest employer�has
yet to undergo a formal, legally mandated review of its finances is a source of embarrassment
among budget watchdogs, and it has become a preoccupation for members of Congress intent
on demonstrating their fiscal prudence even as they appropriate more than $600 billion
annually to the Pentagon. �Like Waiting for Godot,� one Democratic senator, Jack
Reed of Rhode Island, quipped about the absent audit at a recent hearing. The lack of formal
accountability has left unanswered basic questions about how the military spends taxpayer money,
like the precise number of employees and contractors its various branches have hired. Cost overruns
have become legendary, none more so than the F-35 fighter-jet program that has drawn the
ire of President Trump. And partial reports suggest that the department has misspent or
not accounted for anywhere from hundreds of billions to several trillion dollars.
After years of missed deadlines, the mounting political pressure and a renewed commitment
from the Trump administration might finally result in an audit. For the first time last
year, both major political parties called for auditing the Pentagon in their campaign
platforms. That unites everyone from Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren to Ted Cruz and
the House Freedom Caucus. And last week, Trump�s nominee to serve as comptroller for the Pentagon,
David Norquist, testified at his Senate confirmation hearing that he would insist on one whether
the department could pass it or not. �It is time to audit the Pentagon,� Norquist
told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee in his opening statement.
As comptroller for the Homeland Security Department a decade ago, Norquist, the brother of the
anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist, undertook the first successful audits of that much younger
federal agency. The Defense Department is unlikely to meet a statutory deadline to be
�audit-ready� by the end of September. But Norquist said he would begin the process
even if the Pentagon�s financial statements were not fully in order, and he committed
to having the report completed by March 2019.
What has prevented the Pentagon from being examined this way before? The answer lies
somewhere �between lethargy and complexity,� said Gordon Adams, a distinguished fellow
at the Stimson Center who was the top budget official for national security in the Clinton
White House. �It hasn�t been done ever,� he told me, �partly because it�s incredibly
complicated to do and also because there�s not a great, powerful will in the building
to do it.�
The complexity of the project dates back to the Civil War, Adams said, when the Army and
the Navy set up their own separate accounting systems. The Air Force also went its own way
after its creation following World War II, and the military build-ups of the last four
decades scrambled the department�s financial records many times over. The explosion of
military contractors since 9/11 has made scrubbing the books harder still. Adams estimated that
an audit would have to account for 15 million to 20 million contracting transactions each
year. The Pentagon has spent several billion dollars over the last seven years just trying
to consolidate its accounting systems in preparation for a potential audit.
Despite the ramp-up costs, the project has never risen to be a top priority; the Pentagon
has simply been too busy fighting wars. �The military has repeatedly argued that they need
to focus on the war effort and accountability can come later,� said Kori Schake, a fellow
at the Hoover Institution who previously served in a variety of national-security positions
in the government. That excuse carried more weight with lawmakers in the years when the
United States had hundreds of thousands of troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Now, top Republicans like Senator John McCain of Arizona, chairman of the Armed Services
Committee, are pressing for an audit with more urgency. �This has been a very public
continuing failure for the Department of Defense, in large part due to the failure of senior
management to make this a priority for the department and invest the necessary time and
will to get it done,� McCain said at the outset of Norquist�s hearing. �This must
end with you,� he told the president�s nominee
Yet those fiscal hawks hoping that the long-awaited report will spur substantial reforms to defense
spending are just as likely to be disappointed. An audit by itself won�t dismantle the �military
industrial complex� that former President Dwight Eisenhower famously warned about, nor
will it lead members of Congress to stop fighting to protect the bases and weapons systems that
are manufactured in their districts�and the jobs that come with them. Several times
in recent years, it has been congressional lobbying that has kept up production of weapons
and equipment that the military no longer considers necessary.
�An audit does not raise the big issues,� Adams said. �It doesn�t tell you that
we�re not getting the right bang for the buck. It doesn�t tell you anything about
whether we�re getting the right forces for the threat. It doesn�t tell you how well
the forces perform. It doesn�t tell you where we are wasting capability that we don�t
need.�
�What it allows a member of Congress to do,� he continued, �is to look tough on
defense and spend a lot on defense at the same time.�
Spending a lot on defense is what the Trump administration wants to do, even as it pledges
its support for a Pentagon audit. The White House has asked Congress for a $54 billion
increase in the military budget over the next year and secured about $15 billion of that
in the recent spending deal. �It�s harder when there�s a big inflow of cash to focus
on something like the audit,� said William Hartung, director of the arms and security
project at the Center for International Policy. �There�s still that incentive to just
push the money out the door.�
There�s some hope among audit advocates that the administration�s demand for more
money will give congressional spending hawks leverage to insist on progress toward the
accounting milestone in exchange for a budget increase. But they also don�t believe leverage
should be necessary to demand that a department with a workforce pegged at more than 3 million
people commit, at long last, to some basic bookkeeping. �We would never accept the
argument that the Department of Education is too big and too complicated to be accountable,�
Schake argued. �Why do we accept that for Defense?�

New Medicare ID Cards Coming Soon - Duration: 5:31.
2018 will mark one of the biggest events in Medicare since the modernization of Medicare
supplements in 2010, and no one is talking to the consumer about it yet.
What's happening? Everyone in Medicare is going to get a new Medicare card and new Medicare ID number.
This is big. And we will have more details right after this.
Independent Medicare insurance broker
I'm making this video in May of 2017
Two years ago, Congress passed and the President signed the Medicare doc fix.
The focus of the law was an 18 year old problem of how doctors were paid within Medicare.
Well that problem was fixed, and what was also addressed by the law was something that was
less newsworthy, but equally important;
he problem is that on everybody's Medicare ID card is either your or your spouse is Social Security number.
Believe it or not the social security administration had started working and alerting
Medicare that this was a problem for ID fraud back in 2006. So here it is 2017. This is 11-years later
and it's still a problem. It will be 12 years later before it's finally addressed. It's now pretty much one of the number one
issues in Medicare fraud in the country
So here's what's going to happen; in April of 2018 you're going to get a letter in the mail from Medicare and it will be a new Medicare ID card
is gonna be random number and probably with a letter on it right now all of the Medicare cards of
the you have all of your Medicare ID numbers have a letter on it that letter is a
code that refers to whether not you earned your Social Security, whether or not you're divorced, a widow, a widower etcetera's. There are 30
different letter combinations all with the code that tells Medicare about your current status. There will the probably still be a letter on it.
But is will be a random number. Then there will be a transition period from April 2018 through December 2018.
That transition period will be so that there's time
for your insurance company, for your doctors, for everybody involved in Medicare
to transition from your old number to your new number.
If you are currently carrying around your Medicare ID card with your Social Security
number your spouse a Social Security number on it please don't it is a target for ID theft.
Keep it at home in a safe place. Only carry it with you when you're going to see a new Doctor.
If you have a Medicare supplement then certainly if something happens and you're in an accident if you have a Medicare supplement
the emergency people will know that you have Medicare. You won't have any issues with that.
Again, once you have the new card there will be a need only for the year of the old card
during a transition period after then discard it safely.
Right now Medicare is doing a lot of work to make sure that the people involved in Medicare billing
know about the transition and what's going on. They make sure the insurance companies know about the transition and was going on.
There is not lot of effort at this point to let the consumer know. So please, if you are watching this video
Pass it along. Use social media. Pass along on facebook. Pass it along and share it on YouTube. Let your friend know!
I envision that if there is not a whole lot of work letting people know of it, there's gonna be
a good percentage of people receiving some information on Medicare in the mail in 2018
and not opening it up or putting it somewhere around a file and not knowing where it is
probably having to get it re-sent to them. Please pass this around. Mark your calendars when
you have 2018 calendars so that you know, to be on the lookout for it
if your new Medicare will soon be new Medicare chances are you have a lot of questions
feel free to use the information to contact us information below were happy to answer your questions
If you'd like to see what some Medicare supplements will cost you use the Medicare quo information below
send us your formation will let you know we're here to help.

Scarlet sleeves waving with tamagushi offerings and ringing bells…
But of course, if we are to dance in the gods' presence on this festival day
So take up the jeweled sasaki branches of Kagoyama with paper streamers
Let us dance together as we call out and let our music ring!
祭符「神遊びの唄」 (Festival Sign "The Song for God's Amusement") English translated by Kafka Fuura
Looking far off into an uncivilized land of illusion
I pray that there may come one to govern over it
Shall I reign far and wide
Over this endless landscape?
Distant and vast
This is a land to protect
See those green mountains
With their flowing streams
What flourishing color abounds!
They are like jewels
Blossom, yes blossom!
Look how beautiful you are!
As I see the life presented me
On my face a smile blossoms in delight
Rustling in the flow
Life weaving its hues
What flourishing color abounds!
They are like a brocade
In being like a festival, this is the same as an offering to me
Dance around the forbidden zones, hither here hither there
Come now, jump!
The party has just begun!
Dance with your life on the line
The risk is the height of it all
Sift through with all your soul
And know what I say to be true
Now we begin!
With two bows two claps and one bow!
If you will gamble your life
To dodge through this curtain fire landscape,
May your dodging movements be
A dance of offering, of reverence to me
For those who will not dance, make them drink their fill!
For those who are unskilled, make them drink their fill!
May there be curses on you and your offspring!
May you be cursed, you and your offspring!
What even humans know
Are talk of dreams and slumber
So sleep in a deep distant dream
On an eternal bed of flowers
If you do not dodge, you will not blossom
If you do not, you are destined to die
There is not option left of you but
To dance and dance and dance some more
As making one's way down this narrow path
Despite being shut in by hand and foot
Is a feat only the most
Fierce and courageous may perform,
In return, wielding my iron rings
I shall show offer you a reenactment
Of that legendary battle of yore
As I wreck havoc upon you
In being like a festival, this is the same as an offering to me
Dance over the forbidden zones, following the clapping hands
Come now, jump!
The party has just begun!
Dance with your life on the line
The risk is what makes it sublime
Sift through with all your soul
And know what I say to be true
Now we begin!
With two bows two claps and one bow!
When you sing along with your motions
Enveloped by this song of curtain fire
May your voice be as words of celebration
A song of offering, of reverence to me
Dance with your life on the line
The risk is what makes it beautiful
Sift through with all your soul
And know what I say to be true
Now we begin!
With two bows two claps and one bow!
If you will let ring far your battle cries
Through this curtain fire landscape,
May your cries be raised as spells
Which will please both the masses and me
This festival is far from over
In other words, the day after a festival is yet another one!

He's Back: Trey Gowdy Just Turned to Camera and BLASTED Hillary Clinton Back to the Stone Age
Trey Gowdy is about as much a straight shooter as it gets. Today the famous Congressman went on FOX News and sent Hillary Clinton a message that has her shivering.
After seeing Hillarys little speech where she blamed her loss on everyone except herself, Gowdy couldnt stay quiet any longer.
He told Hillary its her OWN fault she lost the election.
When the host asked Trey Gowdy if he felt like her loss was at all James Comeys fault, he put it simply,.
"I don't think [Comey] told Secretary Clinton to have her own server. I don't think he told her to give disingenuous answers to questions throughout the campaign. I don't think he told Anthony Weiner to communicate via text with underage girls..
But wait, If James Comey didnt do it then that means… It was all Hillary. All kidding aside, folks, Trey Gowdy is right. There are a lot of issues we gotta deal with. The Russia stuff is very complex.
What is simple is that America never wanted Hillary Clinton. We proved it in 2008 and 2016. Share this if you wanna see Hillary Clinton retire to a nice cold cell where she belongs.

The Gateshead Millennium Bridge | A Pedestrian and Cyclist Tilt Bridge - Duration: 2:56.
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge | A Pedestrian and Cyclist Tilt Bridge
The Gateshead Millennium Bridge is a pedestrian and cyclist tilt bridge spanning the River Tyne in England between Gateshead's Quays arts quarter on
the south bank, and the Quayside of Newcastle upon Tyne on the north bank.
The award-winning structure was conceived and designed by architects Wilkinson Eyre and structural engineers Gifford.
The bridge is sometimes referred to as the 'Blinking Eye Bridge' or the 'Winking Eye Bridge' due to its shape and its tilting method.
In terms of height, the Gateshead Millennium Bridge is slightly shorter than the neighbouring Tyne Bridge,
and stands as the sixteenth tallest structure in the city.
The design of the bridge was lifted into place in one piece by the Asian Hercules II, one of the world's largest floating cranes, on 20 November 2000.
It was opened to the public on 17 September 2001, and was dedicated by Queen Elizabeth II on 7 May 2002.
The bridge, which cost £22m to build, was part funded by the Millennium Commission and European Regional Development Fund.
It was built by Volker Stevin.
Six 45 cm (18 in) diameter Hydraulic rams (three on each side, each powered by a 55 kW electric motor) rotate the bridge back on large bearings to
allow small ships and boats (up to 25 m (82 ft) tall) to pass underneath.
The bridge takes as little as 4.5 minutes to rotate through the full 40° from closed to open, depending on wind speed.
Its appearance during this manoeuvre has led to it being nicknamed the "Blinking Eye Bridge".
The bridge has operated reliably since construction, opening to allow river traffic to pass.
It also opens periodically for sightseers and for major events such as the Northumbrian Water University Boat Race and the Cutty Sark Tall Ships'
Race.
One of the principal requirements for opening the bridge is to allow access to HMS Calliope where Royal Navy patrol boat HMS Example is based.
The construction of the bridge won the architects Wilkinson Eyre the 2002 Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) Stirling Prize. and won
Gifford the 2003 IStructE Supreme Award.
In 2005, the bridge received the Outstanding Structure Award from International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE).
Bollards, known as the Vessel Collision Protection System, were installed when the bridge was built to protect it from collisions.
However, the bollards became unsightly, and it became noted that they weren't actually required.
They were removed in March 2012.
