Democrats were ““rushing’’ immigrants with criminal backgrounds onto the voter rolls. ““They want to get them ready for Election Day,’’ Dole said....

Another added: “Is anyone else’s Instagram making them rewatch the whole of peoples Instagram stories everytime they put a new one up....

Representative Brian Higgins, a New York Democrat, joined two members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party, MPs Wayne Easter and Nathaniel Erskine-Smith, to make an appeal for an evidence-based plan for reopening the international border. It has been closed to nonessential travel for nearly 15 months. “Guidance from both the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Canada’s COVID-19 Testing and Screening Expert Advisory Panel is clear: individuals with proof of immunity can travel safely and should not be subject to quarantine requirements,” a joint press release issued Wednesday says....

I did my initial training as a couples counselor but I prefer to work with individuals, rather than with couples, because you can go much deeper into issues and how they relate to attachment styles, childhood experiences, and things like that. Our parents usually set the blueprint for how we view relationships and what we expect from them, which is not always positive. A client who grew up with parents who avoided emotion and brushed their feelings under the carpet, for instance, often goes into relationships thinking that their feelings aren’t important or can’t be talked about, which makes it very difficult for them to have a healthy conversation about conflict or emotions with their partner....

Purchase a large box of pre-wrapped chocolates––preferably your partners’ favorites. Create either a trail of chocolate pieces (and rose petals) leading to the boudoir or devise an interactive treasure hunt. For treasure hunt clues, weave both humor and romance into the text such as, “Find your next treat in the place where I take my evening seat (a favorite sofa). ” Leave a small clue with each piece of chocolate until the hunt culminates either in the bedroom or in a cozy area of your home where you have arranged for a romantic dinner for two....

Keep in mind that this technique will hold objects together, but will not keep them in place. To hold multiple objects together and keep them in place, you’ll need two ratchet straps. Use one strap to secure the objects together and the other strap to wrap around them and strap them into place. Be careful not to over-tighten. Too much pressure could damage your ratchet strap or your cargo. If you can’t fit a finger between the strap and the object, you probably overtightened....

Note that if you use the seed of your world, it will generates a brand new world, and any progress you made (eg. making houses, making a farm, etc. ) will not be shown in the new world. “Infinite” worlds are levels that can stretch on forever, and they use a different creation method than “Old” worlds. This means that seeds for Old worlds will provide different results when used to create an Infinite world, and vice versa....

The Curly Girl Method usually recommends washing your hair once a week. Sulfates are harsh and drying no matter what hair texture you have. Most shampoos put “sulfate-free” on the label, but it doesn’t hurt to check the ingredients, too. Steer clear of ingredients like “sodium lauryl sulfate” and “sodium lauroyl taurate. " Scrunching is also called the Squish to Condish method. If your hair seems limp after deep conditioning, try reducing how long you leave the product on your hair next time....
