Donald Trump received a favorable rating from the general public on only one issue -- the economy (although even that approval has been dropping recently).

Since many elections are won or lost on the condition of the national economy, Trump (and congressional Republicans) are counting on a good economy to save them in the 2020 election.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman (pictured) says that won't happen. In his

Gretchen Reynolds points to an interesting study on a mouse model for Alzheimer's disease by Lourenco et al. showing that exercise causes an increase in the level of a small protein,irisin, that boosts synaptic plasticity and memory. Here is the technical abstract: Defective brain hormonal signaling has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a disorder characterized by synapse and memory failure.

I try to cook for my kids at home because it's a way of showing my love for them and ensuring that they have a balanced diet as much as possible. However, I have to frankly admit that I can't cook well and it isn't something that excites me too.  So, when it comes to their birthday parties, buffet catering is the way to go.

Over the years, we're tried engaging several party food caterers - usually based on word-of-mouth or online recommendations - and from experience, there are some companies that we prefer over others... Читать дальше...

Walking through the highlands of northern Cebu is a journey of discovery. Cebu is not just about the busy city, the lovely beaches, the stunning attractions, the glitzy lifestyle, the boosted economy, the talented people. Cebu is also about rugged mountains, quiet villages, vast farms, and humble locals. The last part of Segment 4 concluded this journey of discovery.

Winter will be gone before you know it, and your currently cold garage will be baking. Garages are notorious for trapping in heat, and a great fan is essential for keeping cool.

After their first defeat at the hands of British in 1757, there arose many instances  when Indian patriots formed groups and fought hard and bitter battles exhibiting selfless sacrifice.  Alongside hundreds of Velu Thampi, Peshwa Baji Rao, Sardar Shyam Sing, Rani Laximibhai, Tantia Tope, Maharaj of Dumraon, Nana Sahib, there are many hundreds hidden whose exploits, history did not record or were neglected by the British historians and later partisan historians.

No doubt I love my multi-cooker which has so many settings that enable me to do many things. But, sometimes I just want to use my oven for some recipes that could be done in that multi-cooker. I simply want the change in cooking technique. So, if you want to use your slow cooker for this recipe, have at it! I'd say cook on high for at least 5 hours.

That at least we might have the comfort of knowing they see Jesus for who He really is, see their sin for what it was, and repent. Everyone should bow to Jesus in true repentance, and so, we might be tempted to come up with a fantasy of everyone being sorry and being contrite and repentant in the end.

Don't Attract Pests

Pest Control for Families and pets

Spending time in Dumfries & Galloway is always intended to be restful and peaceful and that’s exactly what we find at the lodges where we choose to stay. A favorite pastime is watching the birds feasting on the fat-balls and seeds that we provide. We feed the birds at home, but hardly get chance to enjoy the results of constant topping up. It’s different when we’re away. A morning consists of relaxing after breakfast with a coffee on the veranda, or inside if ...
