Who does Ali Fedotowsky pick in The Bachelorette season 6?
by Mae Harrington O'Neill 3 days ago
The best and worst part about watching The Bachelorette and The Bachelor is that you have to wait so long to find out who wins. Chris Harrison loves to drag out the reveal. Every year he claims that this season will be "the most dramatic yet" even though it almost always ends the same way.
In fact, there have been 16 seasons of The Bachelorette and only six couples have stayed together as of January 2021! While there has been a heartwarming proposal almost every season, the resulting couples don't have what you'd call a stellar track record of staying together.
For example, the titular Bachelorette for season 6 was Ali Fedotowsky, who became a fan-favorite after being rejected by Jason Mesnick on the previous season of The Bachelor, did not ultimately end up with the man who proposed to her on the show. If you want to save yourself some time and learn who Ali picked (and eventually broke up with) on her season of The Bachelorette, then you're in the right place. We have answers for you below.
Who wins The Bachelorette season 6?
In the season six finale, Ali ultimately said yes to Roberto Martinez's proposal. However, they called it quits less than a year later.
Where is Ali Fedotowsky now?
After her season aired, Fedotowsky became an entertainment journalist and a reality TV personality. She married a television and radio host named Kevin Manno in 2017. They have two children together: A daughter named Molly, born in 2016, and a son named Riley, born in 2018.
Here's to hoping more seasons of The Bachelorette will be added to Netflix sooner than later!

Die Rhenania Porzellanfabrik GmbH war ein im Bonner Stadtteil Duisdorf ansässiger Hersteller von Porzellan. Zwischen 1904 und 1958 wurde hier insbesondere Hotelgeschirr und Zierporzellan produziert.

Geschichte

Eduard Schumann Porzellanfabrik (1904–1908)
1904 gründeten (Johann) Carl (1871–1926) und sein Halbbruder (Ferdinand) Eduard Schumann (1854–1907) aus Arzberg in Oberfranken die Eduard Schumann Porzellanfabrik in Duisdorf. Erfahrungen bei der Porzellanherstellung hatten sie im Elternhaus gesammelt. Der Vater Heinrich hatte 1881 die Porzellanfabrik Schumann & Riess gegründet. Als er 1884 starb, bestimmte er den erst 21-jährigen Carl zu seinem Nachfolger. Ab 1892 hieß die Firma Porzellanfabrik Carl Schumann G.m.b.H. & Co. K.G. Da die Geschäfte gut liefen, wurde 1904 in Duisdorf ein zweites Werk errichtet. Das Fabrikgelände befand sich direkt am Bahnhof (Alter Heerweg 2). 1906 firmierte das Unternehmen in Duisdorf als Eduard Schumann Porzellanfabrik. Die Fabrik beschäftigte zu dieser Zeit 150 Arbeiter. Als persönlich haftender Gesellschafter trat 1906 Bernhard Hoß in die offene Handelsgesellschaft der Eduard Schumann Porzellanfabrik ein. Firmiert 1907 als Porzellanfabrik Schumann u. Cie. und plant den Bau drei weiterer Brennöfen. Nachdem Eduard Schumann, der das Geschäftliche erledigte, im Jahr 1907 gestorben war, und Carl Schumann aus Arzberg die Fabrik nicht leiten konnte, wird zum Fortbetrieb der Fabrik 1908 die "Keramische Werke GmbH", Stammkapital 250.000 Mark, gegründet.

Als Porzellanmarke findet sich unter konischen Kaffeekannen und Zuckerdosen mit Dekor Indisch Blau die Pressmarke: E.

Keramische Werke G.m.b.H. (1908–1912)
Zum Fortbetrieb der "Porzellanfabrik Schumann u. Cie.", wird 1908 die "Keramische Werke GmbH" gegründet. Geschäftsführer sind die Kaufleute Gustav Wahl und Andrew Bayerwaltes, beide aus Bonn. Das Stammkapital beträgt 250.000 Mark. Gegenstand des Unternehmens ist die Fabrikation und der Vertrieb keramischer und aller verwandten, in die keramische und Porzellanbranche fallenden Artikel, ferner die Übernahme von Fabriken und Geschäften derselben oder ähnlichen Branchen. Zur Deckung seiner Stammeinlage bringt der Gesellschafter Bernhard Hoß 1908 seinen Anteil an der bisherigen offenen Handelsgesellschaft Firma "Eduard Schumann Porzellanfabrik" im Wert von 45.000 Mark und der Gesellschafter Eduard Schumann zur teilweisen Deckung seiner Stammeinlage ebenfalls seinen Anteil an obiger offenen Handelsgesellschaft im Wert von M 115.000. Die Fabrik diente der Fabrikation und Vertrieb keramischer und aller Verwandten in die keramische und Porzellanbranche fallenden Artikel. In dieser Zeit wurden zahlreiche Patente auf keramische Teile angemeldet, z. B. von Invertlampen. 1912 erfolgte die Umbenennung der "Keramische Werke GmbH" in "Westdeutsche Porzellanfabrik GmbH".

Als Porzellanmarke wurde in dieser Zeit eine blaue Unterglasur-Pinselmarke und auch eine blaue Stempelmarke verwendet. Diese zeigt das Monogramm "Kw".

Westdeutsche Porzellanfabrik G.m.b.H. (1912–1935)
Seit 1912 firmierte die Fabrik als Westdeutsche Porzellanfabrik G.m.b.H. Während des 1. Weltkrieges, ca. 1916–1918, wurden von der Fabrik Notmünzen mit der Prägung einer "5" beidseitig, sowie einseitig am Rand "Kleingeldersatzmarke" und rückseitig am Rand, "Westd. Porzellanfabrik GmbH"  "Duisdorf", ausgegeben. 1925 waren Gustav Wahl (kaufmännische) und Andrew Bayerwaltes (technische) Direktoren. Zuletzt beschäftigte das Werk 200 Mitarbeiter und fertigte vor allem Zugabe- und Reklameartikel. Am 1. Juni 1935 wurde Konkurs angemeldet und die Produktion eingestellt.

Die grüne Stempelmarke zeigt ein Wappen mit einem oben nach links laufenden Löwen, darunter im Wappen ein D, über dem Wappen eine Krone, links vom Wappen ein W und rechts ein P. Als Bodenmarke wurde in dieser Zeit auch die blaue Unterglasur-Pinselmarke verwendet (Monogramm WP). Die Formen der Keramische Werke GmbH wurden von der Westdeutschen Porzellanfabrik GmbH weiter verwendet.

Rhenania Porzellanfabrik GmbH (1935–1958)
Am 15. August 1935 ersteigerte die Rhenania Wirtschaftbetriebs GmbH aus Köln die "Westdeutsche Porzellanfabrik GmbH" und benannte sie in Rhenania Porzellanfabrik GmbH um.  Alleiniger Inhaber war Georg Kettner. Am 30. Juni 1958 wurde die Fabrik geschlossen. Die Schließung erfolgte wegen veralteter Produktionsanlagen und fehlender Nachfolger.

Die dunkelgrüne Stempelmarke zeigt ein Wappenschild mit dem Schriftzug Rhenania darin, darunter ein nach links laufender Löwe. Über dem Wappenschild befindet sich eine Krone und unter dem Wappenschild steht Duisdorf oder Western Germany.

Produkte
1906 wurden Kaffee- u. Tee-Service, Tassen, Dessert- und Kuchenteller, Krüge, Körbe etc. hergestellt. Spezialität der Fabrik waren Wandplatten, Hartporzellan-Verblender, Stanzartikel für Elektrotechnik. Exportiert wurden Salat- und Frühstückssets. Die Fabrik hatte eine eigene Malerei und Druckerei. Hergestellt wurde also vor allem Gebrauchs- und Zierporzellan.
Die breite Palette umfasste Porzellan mit blauem Unterglasur-Dekor in Zwiebelmuster und Strohhalmdekor, goldverziertes Geschirr und Vasen des Art déco, schwarz-weißes Geschirr, figürliche Darstellungen, Viezporzen bis hin zu Autovasen. In der Zeit des Wirtschaftswunders ist die Rhenania Porzellanfabrik durch ihr Hotelgeschirr bekannt geworden. Zwischen 1954 und 1957 erhielt sie vier Auszeichnungen durch die Zentralstelle zur Förderung deutscher Wertarbeit e.V., die jährlich eine "Sonderschau formgerechter Industrieerzeugnisse" auf der Hannover Messe verantwortete. Die ausgezeichnete Modelle waren das Hotelporzellan Form 85 (1954, 1955), das Kaffee- und Tafelgeschirr Form Eva (1956), das die Fabrik 1950 bekannt machte, und die Teekanne Form 700 (1957). Ein Höhepunkt des künstlerischen Schaffens war die Zusammenarbeit mit Gerhard Marcks, der u. a. die Teekanne Tiergarten im funktionalistischen Stil entwarf.

In his youth, Regiomontanus cast horoscopes for famous patrons. His Tabulae directionum, completed during his time in Hungary, were designed for astrological use, and contained a discussion of the different ways of determining the astrological houses. The calendars for 1475-1531 which he printed at Nuremberg contained only a limited quantity of astrological information, namely the method of finding times for blood-letting according to the position of the moon; subsequent editors added a quantity of additional material. But perhaps the works most indicative of Regiomontanus' hopes for an empirically-sound astrology were his almanacs or ephemerides, produced first in Vienna for his own benefit, and printed for the years 1475-1506 in Nuremberg. Weather forecasts and observations were juxtaposed by Regiomontanus in his manuscript almanacs, and the form of the printed text enabled scholars to enter their own weather observations in order to likewise check astrological predictions; extant copies reveal that several did so. Regiomontanus did not live to produce the special commentary to the ephemerides which he promised would reveal what advantages these almanacs hold for the multifaceted activities of physicians, for human births and telling the future, for weather forecasting, for the start of employment, and for a host of other activities , although this lack was again rectified by subsequent editors. Nevertheless this announcement suggests that Regiomontanus was either as convinced of the validity and utility of astrology as his contemporaries, or willing to put aside his misgivings to achieve commercial success.

US team struggles with illness, maintains Walker Cup lead at Seminole
Craig Dolch
Special to the Post
JUNO BEACH — It takes a strong stomach to withstand the pressures of a Walker Cup.
Unfortunately for the 48th Walker Cup at Seminole Golf Club, that adage has proven to be true literally.
The gastro-intestinal issues that have hit more than 15 players on the U.S. and Great Britain-Ireland teams this week became more dramatic Saturday, when reigning U.S. Amateur champion Tyler Strafaci of Davie had to withdraw from his singles match after he became sick on the range and was rushed to a nearby hospital.
Strafaci, who plans on turning professional in a matter of days, had built his year's schedule by concluding his amateur career at the Walker Cup. After receiving fluids and three IVs, Strafaci returned to Seminole and hugged his replacement, William Mouw after Mouw's 4-and-3 win over Ben Jones.
"It was tough," Strafaci said. "I wanted to come out and compete. I've been preparing for this my entire life. But I just couldn't walk 18 holes. (Mouw) got the job done and I feel a lot better about it."
Strafaci's withdrawal — one of four players to be replaced Saturday for health reasons — overshadowed a day when heavily-favored U.S. struggled to a 7-5 lead over feisty GBI. The Americans won 5-of-8 singles matches in glorious conditions at picturesque Seminole.
This is not the walkover most expected. The average world amateur ranking for the U.S. team is 15, compared to 66 for GBI.
"I think the guys have a lot of self-belief, and I don't see why that should change," said GBI's Jake Bolton, an alternate who helped his team win a foursomes match after replacing star Joe Long. "We're all good players, and we all deserve to be here, so we're going to give it our best shot."
Both teams had to go to alternates for the first time in the Walker Cup's 99-year history. The only reason alternates were on site this year was due to COVID-19 precautions.
Alternates Mac Meissner of the U.S. also was subbed into Saturday morning foursomes matches and led his team to a win.
Because of the stomach virus affecting both teams, the USGA changed its rules so the captains could delay announcing their foursomes and singles lineup. USGA officials ruled out COVID-19 and food poisoning as the cause. Strafaci is expected to play Sunday.
"It's been bizarre for a lot of reasons," said U.S. captain Nathaniel Crosby Jr., who also had to be hospitalized this week. "I think we have a one-up lead on guys who got sick this week (eight U.S. players to seven for GBI).
"Hat's off to the USGA for being flexible. You don't want to put guys out there who are sick and ask them to play 36 holes. It's amazing we're playing at all."
The Americans dominated the morning foursomes matches and had a chance to take a 3 ½-½ lead until GBI roared back to flip a match and halve another one. The morning session ended in a 2-2 tie as all four matches went to the 18th hole for the first time since 1983.
The U.S. team, hoping to win on home soil for the fifth consecutive time, jumped to an afternoon lead. Florida sophomore Ricky Castillo won 5-and-3 over Ben Schmidt and Cole Hammer defeated John Murphy, 3-and-1 to both go 2-0 on Saturday.
"We were dropping like dominoes for a while," Hammer said. "It's not been easy. But we have handled adversity this week."
Earlier, Hammer slammed home a 35-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole to help him and partner Davis Thompson eke out a 1-up victory over Alex Fitzpatrick and Barclay Brown. Castillo and Meissner, pressed into action because of John Pak's illness, defeated John Dyer and Matty Lamb, 2-up.
Mark Power was the lone GBI player to go 2-0 Saturday. He defeated Davis Thompson, 3-and-2, after teaming with John Murphy for a 1-up victory over Quade Cummins and Austin Eckroat.
Pierceson Coody, grandson of former Masters champion Charles Coody, edged Alex Fitzpatrick, the younger brother of world No.17 Matthew Fitzpatrick, 2-up.
GBI's Barclay Brown beat John Pak, 2-and-1 and U.S's Eckroat won two late holes for a 1-up victory over Angus Ferguson.
The U.S. team, which leads the series 37-9-1, needs 13 points to retain the cup. GBI needs 13 ½ to win the Cup. There are four foursomes matches and 10 singles matches Sunday.

A sighting reveals extinction and climate change in a single image
By Matt Adams
Alaska's Koyukuk River was the site of an interesting discovery. During a float down the river, a group of University of Virginia professors spotted a woolly mammoth tusk along the riverbank. The tusk was originally discovered by the Coldfoot Camp and the University of Alaska Fairbanks. The group from UVA had the tusk pointed out to them.
Adrienne Ghaly, a postdoc in Environmental Humanities, was able to document the moment in a photograph.
"We're a group from UVA called Sanctuary Lab working on climate impacts on places of cultural and ecological significance," said Ghaly. "We were taken on a float down the middle fork of the Koyukuk River near Coldfoot, Alaska. The river was high and flowing fast, but my colleague Karen McGlathery was able to spot the tusk."
Ghaly uploaded her image of the tusk to Twitter and it was shared on Reddit, where the post became an instant hit with more than 1,200 comments.
Howie Epstein, the chair of UVA's environmental science department, was also on the research trip along with Ghaly.
"We're on this trip to basically to study the arctic, the idea of the arctic as a sanctuary," said Epstein. "We did a river float trip, as part of what we're doing and the mammoth tusk was pointed out to us. It's amazing! During the time of the last glaciation and timing of the Bering Land Bridge, or what we call the mammoth steppe, that area was populated by lots of grazing animals, the mammoth being one of them. It's not surprising that you'll see this, but it's also amazing to see in person."
Patrick Druckenmiller, director of the University of Alaska Museum of the North, said interior Alaska was unglaciated during the last ice age.
"It was a great place for woolly mammoths to live," he said. "This particular area is known globally for its abundance of ice age mammal remains, which includes mammoth tusks."
Druckenmiller said he would work with the state archaeologist if he were to retrieve the tusk.
"It doesn't look like a safe place to dig it out, but if it fell out, the right thing to do would be to get it to the museum for curation," he said.
The professors who saw the mammoth tusk have not forgotten the incredible sight.
"Seeing an exposed mammoth tusk embedded in the riverbank was really arresting," says Ghaly. "It's extinction and climate change in a single image."

Yesterday, high school basketball officially began.
I'm full steam ahead on my Goodreads challenge: 5 books ahead!
I left present-day Discworld for Roundworld in the 12th and 13th centuries with Marc Morris' King John: Treachery and Tyranny in Medieval England: The Road to Magna Carta.
Yes, this book has two subtitles!
The Shepherd's Crown by Sir Terry Pratchett earned 5 stars.
When Books Went To War by Molly Manning also earned 5 stars, and in my opinion should be required reading for anyone who doubts the value of the printed word. It is by far the best book about books I've read.
I didn't feel well yesterday, so I played around with some online magnetic poetry. Unfortunately, the save process went awry and I was unable to save an image of my work. Thankfully, I kept a not-so-redundant copy on word.
