Sin embargo, está a punto de perderla por un presunto fraude hipotecario.Según contó Alfaro a Telemundo 44, todo empezó en noviembre cuando recibió un mensaje de presuntos agentes de la compañía PHH Mortgage en la que le ofrecían cambiar los términos de su hipoteca con una tasa de interés y mensualidades más bajas con la condición de que sus pagos los haría a través de money orders y no a través del sitio web. Desde esa fecha ha pagado, pero la compañía nunca recibió el dinero.

BEIRUT (AP) — Libya’s judicial authorities have formally asked Lebanon to release one of the late dictator Moammar Gadhafi’s sons, held without charges in Lebanon since 2015 because of his deteriorating health, officials said Monday. The health of Hannibal Gadhafi has been deteriorating since he went on hunger strike on June 3, to protest his detention without trial. He was taken to hospital at least twice since then and has been only drinking small amounts of water.According to two Lebanese judicial officials, Libya’s prosecutor general Al-Sediq al-Sour, sent a request earlier this month to his Lebanese counterpart, Ghassan Oueidat, regarding Hannibal Gadhafi. The officials spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to the media.The note stated that Lebanon’s cooperation in this matter could help reveal the truth regarding the fate of a prominent Lebanese Shiite cleric, Moussa al-Sadr, who went missing in Libya in 1978.It questi...

Music Review: Gregory Alan Isakov returns with understated style and grace on ‘Appaloosa Bones’

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:31:01 GMT

Gregory Alan Isakov, “Appaloosa Bones” (Dualtone/Suitcase Town Music)Gregory Alan Isakov surfaces on old playlists as the artist most likely to send you looking to remind yourself who that is — so sweetly and gently understated that it’s sometimes easy to forget the source. On “Appaloosa Bones,” Isakov’s first new album in five years, he only adds to the mystical aura he created in his earlier work, including the Grammy-nominated 2018 album “Evening Machines.” His new songs are relentlessly majestic, a kind of musical morphine, invariably soothing. There’s enough beauty in them to work as background music but enough substance to reward listeners who lean in more actively.Isakov’s music also benefits from the confidence he has to never be in a hurry. He has that magical ability to convey both urgency and grandeur at the same time, a rarity these days, and he does so in his own good time.Consider “The Fall,” the album’s first single. It begins with ...
