All You Need to Know About Kabaddi World Cup 2020
Although kabaddi is only popular in certain Asian countries, this sport has the potential to take over the world, if properly marketed. The Kabaddi World Cup 2020 is currently being prepared, and it will take place in Dubai.Before we discuss the upcoming competition, let’s take a look at some of the previous ones. Read on!World Cups in 2004, 2007, and 2016The latest Kabaddi World Cup took place in 2016. However, there wasn’t a four-year break before that. Instead, the tournament before that was in 2007, while the initial World Cup took place back in 2004. In other words, the 2020 World Cup will only be the fourth kabaddi competition of this kind. All three previous World Cups took place in India — the country that won all three competitions as well. What’s even more interesting is that they met with Iran in the finals every single time. This fact alone is enough to conclude which countries pay the most attention to this sport.In 2004, Canada managed to win the bronze medal. To this day, Canada remains the only…

Trump acquittal near with Senate likely to deny witnesses today
The decision late Thursday by Senator Lamar Alexander of Tennessee, a Republican who had been considered a potential supporter of testimony, to vote against new evidence largely dashed Democrats hopes of prevailing.
Sen. Lamar Alexander's Democratic colleagues are 'disappointed' with his no-witnesses vote, see a silver lining
Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) announced Thursday night that he will vote against calling new witnesses in President Trump's impeachment trial, but he also said Trump's actions were "inappropriate." His decision means there will likely be at most 50 votes for witnesses, and since few people think Chief Justice John Roberts would break a tie, Trump's trial is expected to come to a swift end. Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.) told CNN's Anderson Cooper he's "very disappointed" in Alexander's decision, though it appears the GOP senator "essentially said that the House case has been proven but it doesn't rise to the level of impeachment." Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) told CNN's Chris Cuomo that he's also "deeply disappointed" in Alexander's decision to allow "the first impeachment trial in history that has no witnesses at all, and it's hard to imagine that this is a fair trial under those circumstances." On the other hand, he said, it's "refreshing to hear somebody on the other side describe it as inappropriate." Democratic…

The Number Ones: Blondie’s “Heart Of Glass”
In The Number Ones, I'm reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart's beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. *** Blondie – "Heart Of Glass" HIT #1: April 28, 1979 STAYED AT #1: 1 week It finally happened. Punk crossed over in America. It just had to become disco first. All through the mid-to-late '70s, the era of disco and soft rock, punk rock had been percolating in Manhattan clubs. But almost none of the acts that came out of that universe ever had much to do with the pop charts. Patti Smith was the outlier; she charted as high as #13 with 1978's "Because The Night," though she needed a Bruce Springsteen co-write to do it. The Ramones' biggest hit, 1977's "Rockaway Beach," only made it to #66. Television, the Heartbreakers, and Richard Hell never charted. The Talking Heads managed one top-10 single over the entire course of their career — "Burning Down The House," peaked at #9, a 9 — and it didn't arrive

Watch Martin Scorsese, Jonah Hill, & YBN Cordae’s Coca-Cola Energy Super Bowl Commercial
Are Super Bowl ads cinema? No, but that hasn't stopped Martin Scorsese from appearing in one. The legendary director stars alongside his fellow Hollywood elite Jonah Hill and newly minted rap star YBN Cordae in a new commercial for Coca-Cola Energy that will air during the big game this Sunday. Because corporations now share their Super Bowl spots ahead of time, it's viewable on YouTube now. As funny advertisements go, this one's pretty good. The premise: Marty's at a cartoonish party waiting for Hill to show up. Hill is at home feeling zonked. He considers flaking. He begins typing a message to Scorsese, leaving his buddy in limbo via suspense-laden iPhone ellipsis. The whole world watches to see whether Hill will stand Scorsese up — including Cordae, who pops in a couple times to egg Hill on because companies love to throw random collections of famous people together in their Super Bowl ads. (See: Coke rival Pepsi's ad from last year.) Only a few gulps of Coca-Cola energy — a new

Gallup: Credit Unions Feel The Love
The notion that credit unions (CUs) play country mouse to their more worldly banking cousins is beyond flawed, as a recent poll by the Gallup organization showed. Delving into customer sentiments across measures – including "helps me reach my financial goals" and "puts my financial well-being ahead of the interests of the bank" – Gallup found that credit unions are crushing it. Banks, not nearly as much. Banks did not surpass credit unions in any criterion used by Gallup. In fact, it wasn't even close. Though respondents had generally positive feelings about banks – for example, about financial institutions (FIs) being helpful during difficult life events – the focus on relationship-building and more personalized forms of finance have given credit unions the edge. For those who capitalize on it, the advantage will come in handy as FIs shapeshift their way to greater customer-centricity. How CUs sustain their unique brand of customer loyalty is among the core insights from the latest
