Whether there’s a tech expertise gap between Democrats and Republicans is difficult to measure. The Republican State Leadership Committee, which works to elect Republicans at the state level, didn’t respond to requests for comment.

PILLOWY POTATO DUMPLINGS, dusky mushroom soups, plum cakes full of butter: These Slavic soul foods are as much a part of my paternal DNA as my hazel eyes and dark curls.

Even before the conflict in Ukraine trained the eyes of the world on the region, back in the early days of the pandemic, chefs Jessica and Trina Quinn launched a pop-up called Dacha 46 from their Brooklyn apartment. Their kapusta piroshki (fried yeast dough filled with caramelized onion, cabbage and carrot) and gravity-defying hazelnut kievsky cakes were drawn from Jessica’s Latvian-Ukrainian-Jewish heritage.

Kanye West’s breakup with Gap Inc. reflects a broader trend of celebrities seeking more control over the brands they create or back. But in this instance, Mr. Shabelman said the friction between Mr. West and Gap fits into a larger development in the world of celebrity marketing. Mr. West “doesn’t need those corporations,” said Anjali S. Bal, an associate professor of marketing at Babson College.

But in 2015, determined to take his career in a new direction, Ward started blogging on his personal website. By early 2017, Ward started blogging about influencer marketing for Forbes, although he didn't follow YouTubers or YouTube culture at the time. When Paul tweeted Ward's article and Ward's Twitter handle, Ward said his phone started "blowing up." After he published his interview with Paul, Ward started interviewing even bigger YouTubers and influencers, like Shane Dawson and Lele Pons. Now, Ward's YouTube channel has more than 5.3 million views, and his easy rapport with influencers has led to even bigger opportunities, like co-hosting a branding-focused podcast with TikToker Griffin Johnson.

☆ I tried Sleep by Headspace for a month to stop waking up in the middle of the night — here's how it went

She decided to download Sleep by Headspace, which costs $69.99 a year. She liked the wind-down and mid-night exercises, which helped her get to sleep after waking up. The "Falling Back to Sleep" wind down. Some tracks I found distracting, like "Cabin Porch," which featured bird sounds that my mind equates more with waking up. While briefly glancing at a cell phone in order to play an item from Sleep for Headspace likely won't ruin a night of sleep, it invites into the bedroom the temptation to continue scrolling.

Jessica a povestit că Matt privea bărcile cu pânze şi spunea că i-ar plăcea să încerce aşa ceva într-o zi, întrebând-o: „Putem să cumpărăm o proprietate sau să cheltuim banii pe o barcă cu pânze. „Ne-am vândut casa în iunie 2011… când ne-am dat seama că voiam să fim plecaţi mai mult timp, posibil 4 – 5 ani şi să mergem mult mai departe.
