Put the butter or margarine in the bowl and beat it with the mixer until it is smooth and fluffy. Then add the vanilla and the milk to the butter, while you continue to mix. Gradually add the powdered sugar, while continuing to use the mixer. Add it bit by bit, over the course of about 15-20 seconds. That way it doesn’t clump as you try to stir it.

You can use a handheld vacuum if you have one at home, but making a trip to a car wash is usually more effective. You can use the nozzle vacuum cleaner there, which should be able to thoroughly remove dirt and debris from your car that may be causing a bad smell. Most cleaners should be diluted with water prior to use. Make sure to test the cleaner on a small, unnoticeable portion of your car’s floor first to make sure it’s safe to use on your car’s interior....

The First Lady had to do something fast to show she was serious about New York politics. In a prearranged exchange with one of her allies, teachers union president Randi Weingarten, she reassured her supporters with four simple words last week: “I intend to run.” And if that meant moving away from her husband and the White House into what she called “my” house in the suburbs of New York City, she seemed ready to do that....

Total hip replacement, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is the removal of the “ball and socket” of the original hip joint, and replacement with a prosthesis (artificial joint). This surgery is usually done when the hip joint has severely deteriorated and after other therapies have not been effective. Because it’s a major procedure, you will have to plan for a hospital stay and a long recovery period. Keep reading to find out how you will prepare for a total hip replacement....

What could not be found on Bush’s schedule was one Saudi dissident or political activist, much less a democrat. Just a day after his speech in Abu Dhabi—and three years after declaring in his second inaugural address that “it is the policy of the United States to seek and support the growth of democratic movements and institutions in every nation and culture”—the president made time for a tour of Saudi Arabia’s National History Museum but not for a meeting with Fouad al-Farhan....

On the latter point, the Bush administration does seem to be shifting in tone. With the departure of several key Bush hardliners in recent months, it feels as if the regime-change fever has broken in Washington. While still talking tough, chief Iran envoy Nicholas Burns sounded almost magnanimous toward Tehran on Wednesday as he detailed the “multiple points of pressure” being applied on Iran’s leaders. Speaking at a Rand Corp....

Now we’re calling and calling, and Shaha Riza just won’t pick up. The Libyan native has been quietly dating Paul Wolfowitz since at least 2000, says a longtime friend of the couple who would only speak about them anonymously. The two shared not just a mutual attraction but also a passionate cause: transforming the Arab world, ousting Saddam, and promoting democracy and rights for women. In recent weeks, this little-known relationship has exploded into public view....

Now the opposition, which views the Chavez government as both incompetent and authoritarian, is pursuing another strategy. According to a provision in the Constitution, which Chavez and his supporters rewrote in 1999, he must submit to a recall referendum after the halfway point in his term if 20 percent of the electorate requests such a vote. Both those conditions may soon be met: The president’s opponents have gathered the signatures of 2....

And those quotes are from 2015. Although calls for Democrats to invest in and prioritize Latino voters have been made for years, Latino leaders and progressives hope there is a sense of urgency to fix the problem now that the party has seen the erosion in support from Hispanics in the 2020 election. The loss of support in places like south Florida, south Texas and other parts of the country has led Republicans to increasingly look towards Latinos as a possible electoral growth area, beginning as early as the 2022 midterm cycle....

HIV therapy protects the immune system by controlling the virus and preventing disease progression.

HIV’s basic mode of action is no mystery. Scientists have known for a decade that the virus infects immune cells called T lymphocytes (more precisely, CD4 lymphocytes) and uses their machinery to churn out copies of itself. The virus has a heyday during the first weeks of infection, before the body mounts an immune response, but it soon forms a stable relationship with the host. Though HIV levels and CD4 counts change ever so slowly over the next several years, they don’t stand still....

The poll found that Hobbs’ Republican opponent—Kari Lake, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump and has adopted some of his rhetoric and style—has edged ahead of Hobbs by 2.8 points, just inside of the poll’s 2.9-point margin of error. Nearly 4.5 percent of voters were undecided. Hobbs had been ahead of Lake in polls since September. Hobbs refused to debate Lake because she didn’t want a rehash of the GOP primaries, where Republican candidates argued over each other, the Associated Press reported....

I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1991. As my MS has progressed, home care aides have helped me cook, wash dishes and get safely into and out of the bathtub. Sometimes I also need assistance with daily household chores and maintaining my personal hygiene. They help me with that as well. Reliable home care makes all the difference to me. It means I can choose to live at home, instead of in a facility, and feel secure in my well-being and my independence....

While big-time players like Alex Bregman and Ronald Acuña Jr. were featured in the competition, the real highlight of the night was the semifinal matchup between Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Joc Pederson.
