Spritz some water on your garment before you start blow-drying it. [6] X Expert Source Ayad MirjanDry Cleaner & Laundry Specialist Expert Interview. 11 August 2021.
Butterfield, with Willie’s encouragement, set out to trace Bosket’s family tree. He was able to follow it back to the wretched days of the pre-Civil War South. Forget Margaret Mitchell’s fantasies. Butterfield sketches an era of unbroken brutality in which willful and treacherous men left carnage in their wake. Today we would say they lacked impulse control or were violent; in those days they were Southern gentlemen fighting duels over slights real and imagined....
The 533-pound shark, known as Cabot, swam inland from the Atlantic into the estuary on Wednesday, with its tracker pinging at around 8 p.m. close to Point Harbour, WAVY reported. Cabot was tagged with a monitoring device by non-profit OCEARCH in 2013. This tag enables scientists to monitor the animal’s movements, providing insights into its behavior. The shark was named after the Italian navigator John Cabot who sailed along the coast of North America in 1497 in what was the earliest known European exploration of this part of the world since the visits of Norse Vikings in the eleventh century....
While it is perfectly fine to ask divine guidance in choosing a legislative course, that is no substitute for making an effort to understand what you’re voting on. Last Wednesday the United States Senate did not do so, and instead voted 86 to 14 in favor of Exon’s amendment, cleverly entitled the Communications Decency Act. Thus did the Senate take a sledgehammer to our single most promising new medium. The Congress that pledged to keep government off our backs now vows to install censors on the shoulder of anyone who taps a message onto a network....
The ‘hype’, as Sharpton sees it, is the GOP’s massive outreach to that stronghold of the African-American community, the black church. Over the past few years the Republicans have been making inroads with conservative black churchgoers, thanks to the party’s stands on issues like abortion and same-sex marriage. “Whether the mainstream knows it or not, African Americans have always been very morally conservative,’’ says the Rev. Otis Moss III of Trinity Baptist Church in Chicago....
Trump Victory—which includes the Republican National Committee, Trump campaign and North Carolina Republican Party (NCGOP)—put together the 8-minute event held outside the Mecklenburg County Board of Elections. NCGOP Chairman Michael Whatley projected confidence, assuring supporters that President Donald Trump continues to carry the state. Trump is leading Biden by approximately 77,000 votes in North Carolina, according to the Associated Press. But the race has not yet been called, and isn’t likely to be finalized until November 12 or 13....
This monumental silliness is the “employer mandate” proposed in George Mitchell’s health-care bill. It is all that’s left of Bill Clinton’s dream of “universal” coverage. And it is symbolic of the frantic, almost hallucinatory, turn the health-care debate took last week: the Democrats’ last, best effort to regulate one seventh of the American economy is built on a mirage. Even Mitchell’s own staffers advise not to take it too seriously....
Unfortunately, this wasn’t the first time something horrific happened at the hotel that resulted in someone’s death. The Cecil Hotel’s 94-year history is laced with prostitutes, drug dealers and murder. The Cecil, which opened 1927, has 299 hotel rooms, along with 301 single-room occupancy rooms (folks who checked into those used communal bathrooms in the hall). The Cecil is located at 640 S. Main Street in Los Angeles, not far from skid row....
The hearing was originally scheduled for September 29 but postponed as Hurricane Ian was expected to make landfall in Florida the previous day. Following the ninth hearing on Thursday, the panel will then draw up its final report, with the aim for it to be published by the end of the year. One of the key details from the committee’s report is whether or not they formally recommend the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Attorney General Merrick Garland indict the former president for his role attempting to overturn the 2020 election, and then allegedly inciting and failing to stop the insurrection....
Smith, the former Butler basketball player who passed away Tuesday morning at the age of 25 after a two-year battle with cancer, meant different things to different people. MORE: Smith inspired many with his passion for basketball, life and wife To his high school coach Scott Flatt, Smith went from a 6-5 freshman “string bean” who “didn’t look like a basketball player” to someone who acted as a role model to Flatt’s own son, even as Smith’s health began to deteriorate....
A retired colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve, Trofimoff became “the highest-ranking U.S. military officer ever charged with espionage,” according to the Justice Department indictment. Working as a civilian Army employee from 1969 to 1994, Trofimoff helped run a center for interrogating Soviet-bloc refugees in Germany. He had access to many secrets about NATO defenses against the threat of a Soviet invasion. For 25 years, he allegedly photographed top-secret documents and turned them over to his KGB handler, Igor Vladimirovich Susemihl, a priest in the Russian Orthodox Church....
Bryson DeChambeau, 27, will square off against the 51-year-old Mickelson, but the PGA Tour’s longest driver (322.4 yards per drive) won’t be the only participant. A pair of MVP NFL quarterbacks will be joining the two major-champion golfers. Tom Brady will reprise his role from “The Match 2” as Mickelson’s wingman. Aaron Rodgers will partner with DeChambeau to make things interesting. “The Match 4” should be an exciting battle and the DeChambeau-Rodgers pairing might be the most intriguing one to date....
NEWSWEEK: What are the earliest recorded methods of birth control? Andrea Tone: The Egyptian “[Petrie] Papyrus” [the oldest known guide to contraception], which dates back to 1850 B.C., mentions the use of suppositories for women made out of crocodile dung. So we know that birth control dates back to ancient times. Wasn’t that dangerous? It’s hard to say because it has never been replicated in studies. But I’m sure it was unhealthy and made sex uncomfortable....

However, some sides will be far happier than others after Thursday’s ceremony in Monaco. Below, Goal runs through the winners and losers from the draw… WINNERS: MANCHESTER UNITED Memories of a rare group-stage failure under Sir Alex Ferguson are prominent for Manchester United after being again drawn alongside Benfica and Basel, while CSKA Moscow were an ally when the Reds fell at the same hurdle two years ago. That said, this is about as good a draw as United could have hand-selected and they should have little trouble negotiating their way into the post-Christmas knockout rounds....
