Senator elizabeth warren has dropped out of the democrat race for the u.S. Presidential nomination. Warren officially announced her withdrawal from the race on thursday.

Unlike previous dropouts, however, she did not initially speak out in favor of one of the remaining candidates. Warren said she would have to think about the question some more. With her withdrawal, the party primaries are now finally an all-male duel between left-wing senator bernie sanders and former u.S. Vice president joe biden.

Warren had entered her party’s race with promise and had been far ahead in national polls among democratic presidential contenders for some time. But in the first four primary states of iowa, new hampshire, nevada and south carolina, she did poorly, and on "super tuesday" she also lost in 14 states: she did not win a single state, and even lost in her home state of massachusetts.

Despite a ban on demonstrations, tens of thousands of citizens again took to the streets in hong kong on sunday in support of more democracy and freedom rights. After that, riots broke out again in the chinese special administrative region.

Police used tear gas and water cannons as radical protesters at government headquarters threw rocks and incendiary devices at police forces behind barriers. Activists, mostly dressed in black and wearing gas masks and helmets, had previously set up roadblocks and damaged subway facilities.

It is the 15. Weekend in a row protesting in the former british crown colony. Protesters demand independent investigation into police brutality, amnesty for those already detained more than 1,000 and free elections. For security reasons, the police had banned the originally planned rude demonstration called by the civil human rights front. The group had already organized marches with up to more than a million participants.

Of all things, the previously verschmahte rheinlander got the decisive 14. Point for defending champion europe in historic 14.5:13.5 comeback triumph over the USA. "The victory means a lot to me. Maybe even more than my major victory," declared germany’s acclaimed golf star after the dramatic finish.

Europe’s team captain jose maria olazabal cried uncontrollably. Never before has a european team managed to turn a 6:10 deficit into a win on the final day in the USA. The american aces around tiger woods stared unnerved and dismayed to the ground. "Epic collapse inexcusable", commented the "chicago tribune" on the collapse that was no longer considered possible. Thanks to kaymer remains the small golden trophy until 40. Ryder cup in two years at gleneagles in scotland in europe. It was his second success after the victory in 2010 in wales.

Olazabal had only used him once on the first two days of the match. Kaymer saw this as motivation. To prepare for the seemingly impossible task, the 27-year-old met with germany’s golf icon bernhard langer beforehand. "Bernhard helped me extremely much just with his presence," said kaymer. "I don’t think i would have gone to the first tee with this attitude without him."

On 8. July 2018 hawaii feeling reigns in ironman germany. A spectacular battle of the world champions is set to take place at the european championships in frankfurt/main, after jan frodeno has confirmed his participation.

There the world champion of 2015 and 2016 wants to take revenge for the bitter defeat after massive back problems in hawaii last october. "I was unlucky in kona and couldn’t play and someone else won. The winner is the local hero (at the race in frankfurt) and will also start in 2018," frodeno said during a Q&A session with his fans via facebook.

Meant is patrick lange. The world champion of 2017. Never before has an athlete completed the 3.8-kilometer swim, 180.2-kilometer bike ride and 42.195-kilometer run in kona in such a short time. 8:01:40 hours needed long at his sensational performance especially at the final marathon.

The fact that the day before, qualcomm had raised its bid for the acquisition of european semiconductor specialist NXP is not relevant. Broadcom argues that this will push more qualcomm shareholder wealth to NXP shareholders.

Broadcom lowered offer to qualcomm shareholders from $82 to $79 per share. The cash component will be cut – it will drop from 60 to 57 dollars. Meanwhile, broadcom continues to offer its own shares worth 22 dollars per qualcomm share. At the same time, the three dollars will automatically be added back if the NXP deal falls through.

Broadcom’s acquisition of qualcomm has so far cost a total of 146 billion dollars: 121 billion dollars for the company plus the assumption of debt worth around 45 billion dollars.

Josef hofbauer for weeks the "mikis" have been, the children of the middle group in the kindertagesstatte kirchehrenbach under the direction of anna schnitzerlein and the educator and curative padagogue christian bovenschen painted a huge advent calendar. The landscape with meadows and trees, houses, paths and churches covers the two windows of the rough gymnastics room. 27 square meters is the advent calendar large. There is room for santa claus with his sleigh and the reindeer, as well as a magnificent starry sky and a (rising) sun.

Meanwhile, the children sing the song of santa claus, "I hear him". Musically, they enthusiastically report how santa claus harnesses the sleigh and "with a ringing, puffing, puffing, puffing, and thump, thump, thump" coming up the stairs.

"In this way, the children learn that their work is important and is appreciated by the public", finds regina brand. She is also pleased that the little ones also learned things from christian bovenschen that the teachers "didn’t really dare to do".
