NCIS is coming to the end of a season in which it did what once was unthinkable: It survived without Mark Harmon. The CBS show lost Gibbs this season after years of reports that it would probably end if the character exited the show. Then he left, and the show kept rolling on – after all, there are always naval crimes to solve, and Alden Park (played by Gary Cole ) has been more than willing to solve them. With NCIS ending its current season on May 23, fans' thoughts are turning to Season 20. Specifically, fans are wondering whether there will be a new season, and how long they will have to wait until its release date. Read on for what we know so far about the future of the CBS series. Will There Be Another Season of NCIS ? Naval criminals better watch their backs: Park, McGee (Sean Murray) Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) will be back on the beat.

The Only Country in the World That Bans Divorce
MANILA, Philippines—The call came in the middle of a workday. My lawyer’s name flashed on the caller-ID screen, and there was no small talk when I picked up. “I have the court decision,” she said. She was literally holding my future in her hands, in the form of an annulment decision we had sought for four years. After opening the envelope, she rambled a bit, skimming the contents out loud to fill the dead air. Then she paused. “Petition approved. Congratulations!” she said. “You are now a free woman!” I had finally gotten out of my long-dead marriage in the devoutly Catholic Philippines , the only country in the world (other than Vatican City) where divorce is not legal. Two people can voluntarily choose to love, honor, and remain faithful to each other, but in the Philippines it is pretty much only through death, or the torturously long process of annulment, that they can part. I had walked out on my marriage five years earlier and had barely spoken with my daughter’s … [Read more...] about The Only Country in the World That Bans Divorce

By Andrew Clarance Published 23 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing When villagers walking along a road on the edge of a forested village in eastern India first saw three confused, weak and hungry animals, they couldn't believe what they were witnessing.
