Subsequent to the use of congress by the U.S. legislature, the term has been adopted by many states within unions, and by unitary nation-states in the Americas, to refer to their legislatures.
The following congresses were formal meetings of representatives of different nations:

He has recorded seven solo albums and his music is widely used in cinema.
Richter grew up in the United Kingdom in the county town of Bedford where he was educated at Bedford Modern School.

SYNOPSIS: Robin Wright, playing the role of herself, gets an offer from a major studio to sell her cinematic identity: she'll be numerically scanned and sampled so that her alias can be used with no restrictions in all kinds of Hollywood films - even the most commercial ones that she previously refused. In exchange she receives loads of money, but more importantly, the studio agrees to keep her digitalized character forever young - for all eternity - in all of their films. The contract is valid for 20 years. The Congress follows Robin as she makes her comeback after the contract expires, straight into the world of future fantasy cinema.

Robbie Collin reviews The Congress. More than two decades after catapulting to stardom, aging actress Robin Wright (playing a version of herself) decides to preserve her digital likeness for a future Hollywood. Her alias will be controlled by Miramount Studios, and will star in any film they want with no restrictions.

Left, Right & Centre: As the BJP mocks the Congress for its top leaders who've decided to opt out of the election race, like P Chidambaram, the Congress says its leaders are not running away.

Things haven't been going right for the Congress party ever since the 2014 Lok Sabha debacle, unlike the BJP which seems to be riding a winning wave. But the irony is as the main opposition party it is the onus of the Congress to cobble together some sort of a Modi versus rest coalition. Dr. Sanjaya Baru, a panelist on The Roundtable stated that Mamata Banerjee has the aptitude to revive Congress party as she is a former Congress woman. Discussing all this on The Roundtable we have Siddharth Varadarajan, Founding Editor of Thewire.in; Dr Sanjaya Baru, Author and Political Commentator; Pankaj Vohra, Managing Editor of The Sunday Guardian an...
