CLEVELAND — Donald J. Trump officially became the Republican presidential nominee Tuesday evening, the key moment of a convention day that went much more smoothly for the candidate and his party.

“Congratulations, Dad, we love you!” Donald Trump Jr. said in casting the votes for the Trumps’ home state of New York. Following convention tradition, the candidate’s home state was allowed to deliver the votes that officially made him the nominee.

Trump’s campaign managed to avoid a replay of Monday, when a floor fight erupted over the convention’s rules. It was considered a precursor to a possible insurgent attempt to challenge Trump’s nomination on Tuesday, but the effort never materialized. Even Colorado, which briefly walked out of Monday’s session in protest, cast its votes as scripted.

Georgia Republican Party Chairman John Padgett gave a full-throated “Go Dawgs!” after announcing that the state was sending 42 votes to Trump, 18 to Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and 16 to Florida U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio.

And every year when the fierce monsoon rains wreaked their vengeance on the earth the floor of the garage flooded and the little girl’s bare feet were cold and wet. One night in a fearsome storm our little girls’ mummy died – “of pneumonia”, they said, but our little girl didn’t understand. And so she and her widowed father and her five brothers and sisters left the garage in the big city and went to live on a tropical ...

How Learning 11 Languages Taught Me 11 Crucial Lessons

How Learning 11 Languages Taught Me 11 Crucial Lessons This article is a wake-up call for all those who dream of becoming multilingual: just do it! Luca Lampariello talks about where he finds the motivation for learning languages, and how he’s learned 11 so far. By Luca Lampariello When people meet someone who speaks many languages fluently, the first reaction is often one of slight bewilderment. Multilingualism is generally considered cool yet difficult to achieve , especially if second, third and fourth languages are acquired later in life. As an advocate of language learning, I of course agree that it’s cool, but I challenge the assumption that it’s difficult. My name is Luca Lampariello. Here I would like to deviate from the well-trodden route to how I learned 11 languages and concentrate on why I learned these languages. Seasoned language learners will all tell you that motivation is fundamental, so where can one find this motivation and h...
