PDVSA is in a financial pickle, so lately they have been asking for loans all around the globe. From Russian and European oil companies to Halliburton (yes, that Halliburton), they have extended their hats in the hope of benefitting from the kindness of strangers, not only to keep paying their own bills but also the ones of the Venezuelan State.
But as the oil company has become more entangled with all aspects of our economy, one important spending item for them is yet to feel a neccesary squeeze: their many sport sponsorship deals.
PDVSA has become the most important advertiser in Venezuelan sports in recent years, from supporting school sports games to sponsoring many of our local football clubs. They also had signed deals with foreign clubs like Ecuador's Emelec and El Salvador's FAS (through its subsidiary ALBA Petroleos) which have been already been dropped. So, silver lining, at least the company has made some cuts.
Yet no other deal has captivated the public's attention quite as much as the one involving Formula 1 driver Pastor Maldonado.
That has not stopped PDVSA from looking for the next major athlete to back, and apparently they just did: In the recently finished Roland Garros tournament, a young Spanish-Venezuelan tennis player named Garbiñe Muguruza pulled off a major upset by eliminating Serena Williams and giving one hell of a match to Maria Sharapova in the quarterfinals (the Russian eventually won both the match and the tournament).
But even if Muguruza is currently representing Spain, that could change pretty soon. According to Spanish sport newspaper AS, PDVSA could be instrumental in convincing Muguruza to switch countries and start representing Venezuela after the request from the national tennis federation (FVT). Muguruza is expected to make her choice in October or November.
The other important sponsorship for PDVSA is the one tying them to La Vinotinto, the national football team. However, the Venezuelan Football Federation (FVF) surprisingly announced to the public that its former main sponsor, Empresas Polar, would return, but only in the youth-related categories. PDVSA will remain involved wiht the main team. Given the history of how the FVF and Polar broke off in the first place, this could signal that PDVSA is not fulfilling its role in the way the private company used to.
Ultimately, one has to wonder where the value is for PDVSA in all of this. An oil company doesn't need to sponsor athletes as advertisement – the stuff practically sells itself, so why go through all the trouble of having advertising in the first place. In fact, very few oil companies sponsor sports teams. It's just weird.
But PDVSA is not really an oil company. It is the financial arm of the PSUV, and as such, its ads are really attempts to link the governing party to national sporting icons. By tying their image to La Vinotinto or Maldonado or Muguruza, PDVSA seems to be telegraphing that even Venezuelans who don't care for politics and only want to enjoy sports … can't escape the gaze of the Revolution.

'OVERWHELMING FORCE'
Donald Trump threatens to 'OBLITERATE' Iran if it 'attacks anything American' after its president called him 'mentally retarded'

Invalid Date,
DONALD Trump threatened to "obliterate" Iran in a furious tirade after the country's president called him "mentally retarded".
The US President declared that any attack by Iran on "anything American" would be met with "overwhelming force" in a series of tweets.

Furious Iran claim 'White House is afflicted by mental retardation' in address by President Rouhani amid rising tensions with the US
The war of words between the two leaders has been escalating ever since Iran shot down a US "spy" drone last week.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani yesterday mocked Donald Trump by saying the White House is "afflicted by mental retardation".
In a live TV address he also branded crippling new US sanctions targeting the Islamic Republic's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and others "outrageous and idiotic."
Trump has now taken to Twitter to slam these comments, calling them "ignorant and insulting".
US President Donald Trump lashed out at Iran in a series of furious tweets
"Any attack by Iran on anything American will be met with great and overwhelming force," Trump added.
"In some areas, overwhelming will mean obliteration. No more John Kerry & Obama!"
He accused Iran's leaders of spending all the country's money on terror.
Trump tweeted: "The wonderful Iranian people are suffering, and for no reason at all.
"Their leadership spends all of its money on Terror, and little on anything else.
"The U.S. has not forgotten Iran's use of IED's & EFP's (bombs), which killed 2000 Americans, and wounded many more...
"Iran leadership doesn't understand the words 'nice' or 'compassion', they never have.
"Sadly, the thing they do understand is Strength and Power, and the USA is by far the most powerful Military Force in the world."
'I DON'T DO EXIT STRATEGIES'
Later he admitted to reporters in the Oval Office that he has no plan to get the country out of a messy military conflict if the situation escalates.
"You're not going to need an exit strategy. I don't do exit strategies," he told a reporter, who asked him about him the possibility of war.
But Trump later left the door open for talks, saying that Iran should speak to the US "peaceably" to ease tensions and potentially lift US economic sanctions.
On Monday, he signed an executive order imposing additional, largely symbolic, sanctions against Ali Khamenei and other senior figures.
Fiery Rouhani warned the decision by the Trump administration was doomed to "certain failure."
He also criticised US officials for wanting to sanction his Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.
Rouhani said: "You sanction the foreign minister simultaneously with a request for talks?"
A Ministry spokesman earlier claimed the sanctions will permanently end any chance of diplomacy between the two feuding countries.
Abbas Mousavi took to Twitter to claim they mean "closing (the) channel of diplomacy forever".
"Trump's desperate administration is destroying the established international mechanisms for maintaining world peace and security," the tweet read.

John Bolton, Trump's national security adviser, later said the US is still open to negotiations adding all Iran needs to do is "walk through that open door."
It was unclear if his response was a direct response to Mousavi's tweet.
The US crackdown comes as the president is looking for a fresh blow to Iran's economy after Tehran shot down an unnamed US drone.
With tensions running high between the two countries, Trump signed an executive order imposing the sanctions, which US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said would lock billions of dollars more in Iranian assets.
Trump told reporters the sanctions were in part a response to last week's downing of a US drone by Iran, but would have happened anyway.
'MAJOR' SANCTIONS
He said Khamenei was ultimately responsible for what Trump called "the hostile conduct of the regime" in the Middle East.
Trump said: "Sanctions imposed through the executive order ... will deny the Supreme Leader and the Supreme Leader's office, and those closely affiliated with him and the office, access to key financial resources and support."
Mohammad Javad Zarif responded in a Twitter post that hawkish politicians close to Trump "despise diplomacy, and thirst for war."
The latest sanctions deny Iran's leadership access to financial resources, blocking them from using the US financial system or having access to any assets in the US.
What are the new sanctions?
The new sanctions are a fresh blow to Irans economy after Tehrans downing of an unmanned American drone last week.
They are aimed at denying Irans leadership access to financial resources.
This then blocks them from using the US financial system or having access to any assets in the US.
Sanctions were also imposed on eight senior commanders of Navy, Aerospace, and Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.
Trump has also signed an executive order that aims to increase transparency for the cost of health services.
US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said Zarif will be placed under sanctions this week.
A senior State Department official said the US is building a coalition with its allies to protect Gulf shipping lanes by having 'eyes on all shipping'.
The White House announced: "Anybody who conducts significant transactions with these sanctioned individuals may be exposed to sanctions themselves."
The Trump administration wants to force Tehran to open talks on its nuclear and missile programmes and its activities in the region, saying the 2015 deal did not go far enough.
Sanctions were also imposed on eight senior commanders of Navy, Aerospace, and Ground Forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, the US Treasury Department said.
Trump has laced into European leaders over their complaints about the increasing nuclear tension between the US and Iran.
The president blasted the EU's leadership saying they were exclusively worried about being hit in the pocket by new sanctions.
Last week Trump pulled out at the last minute from launching a retaliatory strike on the Islamic Republic after they downed a US drone over the Persian Gulf.
He reportedly changed his mind about blasting Iran after learning 150 people would have been killed, but made it clear military action remained firmly on the table.
Launching into one of his trademark eviscerations The Donald told NBC: "I don't care about Europeans.
"The Europeans are going out and making a lot of money."
Relations in the region began to worsen significantly when Trump pulled out of a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and six powers and reimposed sanctions on the country.
The sanctions had been lifted under the pact in return for Tehran curbing its controversial nuclear programme.

Iran has said it would respond firmly to any threat against it and warned earlier today of the risks of a military confrontation.
President Hassan has already accused the Americans of stoking tensions in the Gulf through what Iran has called the violation of its airspace by the US military drone.
Washington said the aircraft was targeted in international air space in "an unprovoked attack".

Here are two things you don't expect to see in the same sentence: Aaron Judge, center fielder.
The 6-foot-7, 282-pound Judge tied Walt Bond as the tallest center fielder in MLB history with his first appearance at the position Saturday as the New York Yankees visited the Toronto Blue Jays.
Judge's first — and only — opportunity came just four batters into the game on a routine fly ball by Yangervis Solarte. Judge played center the whole game, which the Yankees lost 5-3.
With outfielders Aaron Hicks, Jacoby Ellsbury and Clint Frazier on the disabled list and Brett Gardner being rested, Yankees manager Aaron Boone needed to get a little creative.
"(If) they need me to play center, I'll play center. Mindset doesn't change," Judge said before Saturday's game.
Judge had talked to Boone during spring training about playing the position.

"Boonie mentioned it to me again (Friday night)," Judge said. "Just be prepared when you come in."
Bond occupied No. 8 in your scorecard for the 1960-61 Indians and the 1964 Houston Colt .45s, though he was not as big as Judge. According to baseball-reference.com, Bond weighed 228 pounds.
Judge was drafted as a center fielder out of Fresno State University in 2013. He appeared in 11 games at the position in the minors.
"Nervous? No. I've got a job to do,'' Judge said. "I might be nervous if I played catcher, maybe. But I'll be fine.''

Why We Chose This Topic
February 12th, 2014 | Thoughts |
As we have said in previous post, Marijuana can be beneficial or harmful. Below are two peoples stories of their encounters with marijuana and how it has changed their lives.
First off, is Charlotte Fig, who is currently five years of age. When she was two years old, she gained a rare disorder that caused her to be unable to walk or talk and she suffered from 300 seizures a week. She tried every possible treatment she could find to try to cure her but nothing worked. So, she decided she would try medical marijuana. Now, after a few years of using marijuana, Charlotte can final talk, walk, and she no longer suffers from seizures. Her story has inspired 100's of families to go to places where marijuana is legal such as Colorado to try to cure their children as well. Some scientist protest that there is no solid proof that it was the marijuana that cured Charlotte Fig and that the long term effects of marijuana has not been tested on children so it shouldn't be allowed. But, countless of families such as Charlotte's have found a cure for their children through a substance that is illegal in most of the U.S.A.
The second story is about a man named Darren Gold who claims that Marijuana ruined his life. He first started smoking cannabis at age 15. It made him feel good so he continued its use, using it more frequently. Eventually, he ended up smoking every day. In order to pay for this expensive habit, he resulted to stealing. Once out of high school, he continued doing illegal things and smoked even more than before. As a result, he was sent to a juvenile crime facility. After he left the facility, he became extremely paranoid and latter on his life, became addicted to heroin and alcohol. Now, he has turned his life around and no longer uses any drug, but cannabis almost destroyed his life.
Those are just two of the thousands of stories on marijuana. They show some of the pro's and con's to using medical or recreational marijuana in society.

Morocco bets on Collins Aerospace ecosystem
Agreement signed for creation
Morocco's Minister of Industry and Trade, Ryad Mezzour, signed an agreement with US-based Collins Aerospace these days to create an aerospace ecosystem. It involves the establishment of a procurement platform with suppliers. The agreement, signed by Vice President of Corporate Supply Chain, Kristopher Pinnow, was signed at the "Farnborough Air Show" (July 18-22).
"The birth of this new ecosystem, supported by the global industry giant, is the culmination of a successful strategic partnership that opens great horizons for aerospace development in Morocco. Collins will contribute to the transfer of know-how to local operators, job creation for our youth and the country's efforts to keep up with global trends for sustainable manufacturing", said the Moroccan minister.
By 2032, Collins Aerospace's ecosystem in Morocco is estimated to employ 800 people and generate 1 billion dollars in revenue. The US company has had a presence in the North African country since 2011 through its subsidiary Ratier Figeac Maroc, based at Casablanca's Nouaceur Airport.

Answer:I enjoy playing supports but also melee classes that are in the middle of the action. This class gives me a little of both. Plus, I love the way Dark Elves look in this game.
Answer:Dual Saber, Brigandine armor + gaiters, some random D grade boots and gloves.
Answer:GMT+1, 26, male. Romanian currently living in the Netherlands.
Answer:3 to 4 hours during the week, 6 hours or more during the weekend.
Answer: Yes, I've always used TS or Vent in my previous clans. Usually I'm more of a listener but I will get involved every once in a while. After 23:00 GMT+1 i try to be silent because my roommates usually go to bed.
Answer:i7-3610 QM @2.30GHz, 8 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro K1000M.
Answer:I took part in all major raids / pvp's for epics (that were introduced up until including Interlude, nothing past that) and sieges.
Answer:In the past I used to play Damage Dealer a lot. Nowadays I find I enjoy support classes more.
Answer:I read your presentation on the forum and it seems like the kind of clan that I would enjoy being a part of. The Quality > Quantity mentality is something I really appreciate.
Answer:I am dedicated and loyal. I'm always willing to lend a helping hand and place the needs of the clan before my own.
Answer: I enjoy playing online games (recently I have been playing Dota 2) and even more so with people I know, so that would be a yes.
Answer:Kill him and hope that he drops :D. It is a game after all and he is on the enemy side. If he gets upset and can't laugh about it later than that is his problem not mine.
Answer:I have to mention that I haven't played L2 for a few years. While I have read up on the new stuff that has been implemented, the last time I played was on Interlude. However, during the years that I was playing I was quite active and got to know the game pretty well so I don't think I will have much trouble adapting to the changes. I started playing again because I have some really nice memories with this game and I would like to make some new ones. I somehow found this server and saw that it was going live in a few days and that was that.
Yeah, we all pretty much play this game just for the Nostalgia sake and TS chats.
Cool. How should I proceed?
yo, msg DD in game.
Hey, I'm having some issue with the game client since the update (game crashes when logging in). I'll msg him as soon as I can.
Btw, I saw your post in the support section. That is the exact same error I am getting.
Try using this. Drop it into your system folder, and overwrite.
Tried it but I still get the error. It's probably some weird interaction with my system. Thanks anyway.

Thomas, Eric, everybody watching, I'm just lucky. I'm a lucky guy. Thank god for what you do for me, and thank the fans for what you do for me.

'Of all the people who've been influenced by what my life has been influenced by, I got to say something about some of them. The first one is Jack Johnson, Jack Clement. These are the people that have influenced my whole life in this business. And this man, I've been awed by him, and I still am.
'My wife Rozene and I would go and visit him. In fact, the last time we visited him, before he passed away, he would always say, "Rozene, you so pretty." And I never have forgotten that. Jerry Bradley, I worked with him a lot, give him a nice round of applause.
'And we got John Daines, about 37 years he was with me. He booked me everywhere I went. He was from England, and he was a fine fellow. Bless his heart, he's got that Alzheimer's. All my fans, I wanna say thank you… and well, I'm through talking, I guess. Just gonna thank everybody again. Like I said, I'm nervous.'

Rucker echoed the sentiment: 'I look forward to the CMA Awards every year because of the incredible performances and the opportunity to celebrate the year in country music.
'To be invited to host this year's awards alongside Reba — are you kidding me?! — it is an absolute honor. Even though this year will look a little different than normal, I know that we're all eager for a night of musical celebration, and this year's show definitely won't disappoint!'

"Arkamani''s Objectives To Assist Sudanese students studying history, archaeology. anthropology and sociology to follow up the results of the previous and current field work which is no longer accessible to them due to the present state of poverty-stricken universities'' and other official libraries. To make available in Arabic and English in one Website literature on Sudan archaeology and Anthropology published in different foreign languages. To provide a platform for interaction between Sudanese archaeologist at home and abroad and the body of international scholars that will enable them participate in the efforts taken to establish the new discipline of Sudanology as an independent field. To pave the way for Sudanological Studies to find their way into Arab and African Universities'' syllabuses, hence putting an end to the perspective dominating over the ancient history courses based on earlier textbooks, which looks upon the ancient civilization of the Sudan as no more than a pale and inferior imitation of Egypt, not deserving of independent consideration."

Jurors began deliberations in the trial of three men accused of the 2009 murder of Red Bank Middle School teacher Jonelle Melton.
FREEHOLD - Jurors considering charges against three men in the 2009 torture murder of Red Bank schoolteacher Jonelle Melton began their deliberations Thursday and asked to be read testimony of the state's two star witnesses.
The panel began deliberating Thursday morning in the case against Ebenezer Byrd, Gregory Jean-Baptiste and Jerry Spaulding, following a trial that began before Superior Court Judge Joseph W. Oxley on Jan. 17.
Before the lunch break, the jury asked to be read back testimony of Elizabeth Pinto, a witness who told the jury she drove the three defendants to the Brighton Arms apartment complex where the murder occurred, and Narika Scott, who said she asked Byrd about the teacher's murder, and he admitted his involvement to her.
Both Pinto and Scott were among Byrd's girlfriends at the time of Melton's murder. Scott had declined to testify and did so only after being held in contempt and jailed for more than a week.
The readback of testimony continued until the end of the day. It is scheduled to resume on Tuesday morning, when jurors were told to report back.
Prosecutors allege that Byrd, 38, and Jean-Baptiste, 29, both of Asbury Park, and Spaulding 41, also known as Jerry Spraulding, 41, of Keyport, went to the Brighton Arms complex on Sept. 14, 2009, with the intention of burglarizing the apartment of a drug dealer who was known to keep a lot of cash in his freezer. However, they went to the wrong apartment — Melton's — and beat, stabbed and shot her when they couldn't locate the money, authorities allege.
Defense attorneys have argued that the testimony of Pinto and Scott should be discounted, and that someone else committed the murder.
Melton, 33, was a beloved social studies teacher at Red Bank Middle School. Her estranged husband found her murdered when he went to her apartment to check on her after she didn't show up for work.
