“When I first started my account online, you could subliminally see a lot of fears still showing up in how I was eating,” Doiron said. Doing so repositions fresh food as fun and exciting, rather than as drudgery (or as something parents nagged us to eat). “Here, it’s used to sharpen up some creamy butter beans in a glossy, sweet-spicy gochujang sauce.

And now the man calls himself the father of IVF,” Harris said on Thursday, recalling Trump’s remark at an all-women’s town hall. Exit polls in 2020 showed Biden — who’d become the nation’s second Catholic president — finishing with a 5-point lead over Trump with Catholic voters. After wishing Adams “good luck,” Trump repeated the familiar canard that the Justice Department indicted Adams over the mayor’s criticism of the Biden administration’s border policy. “You’re going to win, I think you’re going to win, I know you’re going to win, so good luck,” Trump told Adams. Vice President Kamala Harris speaks a a rally at Resch Expo on October 17, 2024 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

☆ The housing market was already painful, ugly and anxious. Now the 8% mortgage rate is back
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-21 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

watch nowToday's housing market is a toxic mix of high mortgage rates, high prices, tight supply and strangely strong pent-up demand — and it's scaring off buyers and sellers alike. Now the popular 30-year fixed mortgage rate is at 8%, the highest in decades, making things even tougher. The result was record-low mortgage rates for two solid years. That, ironically, made the housing market even more expensive. They have little desire to trade the 3% rate they currently have for an 8% mortgage rate on a new purchase.

☆ Adjustable-rate mortgage demand spiked last week. Here's why.
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-11 | by ( Diana Olick | In Dianaolick | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage rose to the highest level since 2000 last week, but rates on adjustable-rate mortgages fell. But the average contract interest rate for 5/1 ARMs decreased to 6.33% from 6.49%. ARMs usually offer much lower rates because they have shorter fixed terms. Applications for a mortgage to purchase a home rose 1% for the week and were 19% lower than the same week one year ago. "In this first two weeks of October, as anticipated, inventories have taken a jump, but then because interest rates have taken a jump too, we're seeing less buyers.

☆ German green group sues Meta alleging failure to curb threats
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-22 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +1 min

March 22 (Reuters) - A prominent German environmental group said on Wednesday it is suing Facebook's parent company Meta (META.O), accusing the social media firm of failing to clamp down on insults and threats of violence and murder. Environmental Action Germany (DUH) said in a statement that Meta had failed to shut down Facebook groups in which threats of violence were regularly posted and sometimes remained visible for weeks without being taken down. "We no longer accept the persecution and threats in such social media groups," said DUH chief Juergen Resch. A German court last year ruled against a law obliging social media firms to block or delete criminal content and report serious offences to the police, handing a partial victory to complainants Google (GOOGL.O) and Meta.

The late Patrick Flynn, the former supervisor at Blue Hills, came up with the original plan. In 2012, First Day Hikes went nationwide when the National Association of State Park Directors endorsed the idea. Elijah Bristow State Park near Eugene is even offering a first day horseback ride.
