Julia Letlow, from Richland Parish, was elected Saturday night in a special election. She defeated Democrat challenger Sandra “Candy” Christophe of Alexandria, according to the Monroe News-Star. Letlow, who is an executive at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, declared on January 14 that she would run for the office that her recently-deceased husband, Luke Letlow, had won just one month earlier. She becomes not only the first woman to represent the state in Congress in six years, but the state’s first-ever female Republican....

It proves, yet again, that this country has little regard for International agreements, conventions and patent violations. Image Source: https://plus.google.com Let’s Talk About “Ryonghung iPad” Ryonghung iPad looks like a cheap knock-off of the original product and is far from being even close to its namesake. As per various sources “The “Ryonghung iPad” was featured in the latest edition of the country’s Foreign Trade magazine”. Also read: How to Unpair and Reset Apple Watch...

No, that’s not a Jeff Foxworthy joke (you know, you might be a redneck if …), just a fact. Waffle House is a NASCAR kind of place, with a NASCAR type of crowd. MORE: How Teresa Earnhardt is tarnishing Dale Earnhardt’s legacy Now the popular roadside diner and late-night attraction (yes, if you’ve ever been late at night, you know if can be highly entertaining) is teaming up with the King of NASCAR for one of the year’s most popular races....

Chapel Hill’s center has been in the planning stages for more than a decade. It was proposed by Sonja Haynes Stone, an African-American-studies professor who helped integrate the UNC faculty in the 1970s. She hoped the center would not only nurture scholars of African-American culture but also foster better racial understanding on campus. The idea languished for years. Finally, in 1986, a university-appointed committee drew up plans for a spacious facility with a library, a lounge, an art gallery, a music room and a dance studio....

RELATED: A Plague Tale: Innocence - All Projectiles and Skills (& The Best Upgrades) There are more puzzles to solve than boss fights in the game, which makes the latter even more memorable. There are plenty of crafting materials for upgrades and projectiles to learn before facing Nicholas, the Captain of the Guard and the right-hand man of Vitalis — the Grand Inquisitor. Here’s a guide to better prepare the player for the intense boss fight....

It’s a known fact that everyone in America is recovering from some-thing-bulimia, workaholism, childhood. Nearly all of us are ex-somethings. But thanks to the availability of support groups in every hamlet and trailer park in the land, few of us are forced to go it alone. And now, for those anxious moments when your support group is on vacation, there is a new variety of bedside bucker-uppers called affirmation books....

But the year-old eCompanies is known mainly for another breathless endeavor. Last December the company paid a whopping $7.5 million to a Houston entrepreneur for the Web address Business.com, more than double the previous ransom record, Compaq’s $3 million purchase of altavista.com. Winebaum, who left Michael Eisner’s side as head of Disney’s Internet group to start eCompanies, promises the investment will pay off. “As opposed to two spots on the Super Bowl, this is going to pay dividends forever,” he says....

Devil or angel, Maxwell at least represents a fresh start for a newspaper crippled by one of the meanest labor disputes of the decade. Since January, 1990 its owner, the Tribune Co., a Chicago-based media conglomerate, had vowed to break the power of the Daily News’s unions. Claiming that the paper had lost $115 million since 1980, management insisted on wage and manpower cuts that would have slashed operating costs from 50 to 25 percent of revenues....

This breast-beating, though, obscures one fact: Quayle is talking about federal regulators that his boss, George Bush, appointed. When Bush chose Quayle to chair the council in 1989, many pundits condescendingly viewed it as a harmless hobby to help the veep gain stature. But a year later, Bush empowered the Quayle Council to scrutinize regulations because he feared that his own administration was placing too many burdens on business. When the policy magazine National Journal recently hit the president’s desk with the cover headline THE REGULATORY PRESIDENT, Bush was heard to have said: I thought we solved this....

A Quiet Place brought audiences into a fictional world where monstrous blind creatures use their hearing to hunt victims, forcing survivors to remain as silent as possible. The sequel further explored that world, but the A Quiet Place spinoff will take place in the past and show fans how that apocalyptic world came to be.

Now Somers is out with a new best seller, “Ageless,” in which she promotes the work of an “independent researcher” named T. S. Wiley who thinks menopausal women should have as much estrogen in their bodies as 20-year-olds. Wiley’s only academic credential is a degree in anthropology–which has outraged even the pro-bioidentical doctors Somers quotes in her book. In a recent letter to Somers, three of these doctors called “Ageless” “dangerous” because “the book freely and repeatedly blurs the line of medical ethics and science with hearsay....

To make amends, Rodriguez is expected to issue a public apology when he reports to spring training in Tampa next month, according to USA Today. For exactly what he’ll apologize is unclear. Rodriguez is trying to mend fences with everyone. He met with new MLB commissioner Rob Manfred last week. He has tried to similarly meet with Yankees brass, but the team told him discussions will not take place until spring training....

Some fans responded by saying they wouldn’t attend the game, and would rather sell their tickets. That’s when A’s pitcher Sean Doolittle and his girlfriend Eireann Dolan decided to take action. Dolan wrote a blog post on March 27 saying that she’ll purchase tickets from people who don’t want them. After her initial post received such positive feedback, Dolan set up a GoFundMe page for people to donate. The hope is to raise enough funds to purchase as many tickets as possible....

Problem is, it’s a really long way from the first base bag to the first base dugout at the Oakland Coliseum, so when Laureano charged toward his nemesis, Houston hitting coach Alex Cintron, after being challenged, other Astros were able to close the hole and make the tackle before Laureano could get to him. Give backup catcher Dustin Garneau credit for the stop. Laureano and A’s catcher Austin Allen were ejected in the seventh-inning incident....

Data centers, servers and programs for building applications are the internet’s wood, nails and glue. They are the supplies needed to partake in democracy, be involved in community, engage in commerce and support a family. In short, they’re the necessary supplies for existence in the 21st century. Alas, they’re controlled by several powerful corporations bent on denying service to—in essence, exiling—half of the country. For more than a decade, big tech has been fashioning addictive echo chambers to sort us into easily marketable cohorts, corroding our relationships with friends and families in the process....

The staff man awaited his orders. “Find me something,” Teeter said. “What?” the staffer said. “Find me something that will win the election,” Teeter said, smiling wanly and walking away. The something they were looking for, by that stage, was the silver bullet that would bring down Clinton; it was a given among Bush’s men that he was not going to win a second term with advertisements for himself. He had spent a year shuffling identities like a pack of cards, from Lion of the Desert to Man With a Plan to Archdeacon of Family Values to Son of Harry Truman to Man With Another Plan, and none of them had worked....

The three-time MotoGP champion was thrown in the air and went hurtling off the track during FP2 due to a technical problem with his Ducati. Lorenzo was cleared of any fractures when he went to hospital for an X-ray but did suffer contusions to his wrist and ankle. The Spaniard will wait until Saturday to decide whether he to compete at Buriram International Circuit. “If you ask me now, I would say no,” Lorenzo replied when asked if he will be back on his bike on Saturday....

Antes debes saber que el consumo medio anual de electricidad por hogar asciende a 2.487 kWh según informa Tarifasgasluz, lo que se traduce en un valor medio mensual de 291 kWh por vivienda.
