Kathmandu, Sep 9 (EFE/EPA).- Women in Nepal marked Thursday the hindu festivity of Teej with dances, temple visits and fasting. The majority of Hindu nepalese women usually celebrate Teej in their homes and with a visit to the Pashupati temple and Bagmati River, which some were able to do despite authorities keeping the temple doors shut to curb the coronavirus pandemic. Teej is a festival celebrated by Nepalese women to wish a long and prosperous life to their husbands.Those who are not yet married, pray to get a good husband while asting for a whole day.(Camera: NARENDRA SHRESTHA)SHOT LIST: TEEJ CELEBRATIONS IN KATHMANDU, NEPAL.

While general elections in the United States may seem highly regulated and bureaucratized, it wasn't always that way. Bustle reports that during the first election in 1789, only white men who owned property could vote. That rule excluded a whopping 94 percent of the population. The Constitution didn't define a specific Election Day, either. In fact, in the early 1800s, people could vote anywhere from April to December. Elections are only held on Tuesdays because people had to travel by buggy to vote. Sunday church couldn't be disrupted, and Wednesday was market day. Until 1804, presidential nominees didn't name a running mate. Instead, the candidate who got the second most number of votes became the vice president. Dozens of states used to have laws restricting buying alcohol on Election Day, to prevent people from buying or selling votes. South Carolina was the last state to do away with their laws, in 2014.
As part of the Lisbon Dinner Festival, Porsche collaborated with the House of Beautiful Business to invite 100 people to a night full of wonder. Set in the deconstructed space of a bank in the old town of Lisbon, we brought the emotion of Porsche (and of course beautiful (electric) cars) together with lost dreams, new aspirations, beautiful minds and next visions to life alongside a multi-sensory dining experience.
