Dale Schroeder lived simply for his entire life. He grew up poor, never married or had kids, and worked as a carpenter at the same company for 67 years. He owned just two pair of jeans and drove a rusty old Chevrolet truck. Shortly before his death in 2005, Schroeder told his attorney, Steve Nielsen, that he wanted to use his savings to help poor students in Iowa go to college....
In a letter to the IDP’s State Central Committee, Price said he will “resign as chair of the Iowa Democratic Party effective upon the election of my replacement.” His resignation comes one week after the IDP finally released the Iowa caucus results last week following days of delays due to disastrous meltdowns with the body’s reporting system. Both leading Democratic candidates in Iowa later submitted requests for a revancassing due to alleged discrepancies in the results....

In a statement cited by the Associated Press, Iran said “human error” was behind Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 being shot down shortly after leaving for Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital. According to the statement, the plane was thought to be a “hostile target” after it flew toward a “sensitive military center” of the Revolutionary Guard. Given that the plane crash happened the same day as Iran’s missile attack on bases in Iraq, the Iranian military was at its “highest level of readiness....
Fars on Saturday quoted an unnamed “informed source” as saying that Tehran’s stockpile of low-enriched uranium could “soon” grow larger than the maximum of 300 Kg (approx. 661 pounds). That amount was set by the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in which Iran agreed to severely curb its nuclear program in exchange for the U.S. and other signatories ending a number of sanctions that had been put in place against the Middle Eastern nation....
The video, which was translated to English and shared on Twitter on Sunday by M. Hanif Jazayeri, detailed Iran’s purported capability to quickly “turn Iran’s peaceful nuclear program into a nuclear weapons program in an instant, and turn the West and Israel’s nightmare into a reality.” It also said that there is a secretive underground facility in Fordow, Iran, that would activate what the video described as a “nuclear deterrent project” known as the Emad Project....
“Cruise missiles are of particular importance to us. The fact that we have increased the range from 300 [kilometers] to 1,000 in less than two years shows the country is on the path of production and self-sufficiency in this field,” Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Thursday, according to the nation’s Tasnim News Agency. “We have made great progress in the field of strategic and deterrent weaponry,” Rouhani added. The news agency reported that one of the new missiles has a range of about 1,000 kilometers (621 miles), while the other’s range is 1,400 kilometers (870 miles)....
“Dear disgraced board members, you think you’re woke, but let me wake you up a little bit more,” Dimis Christophe—as identified by LCPS—was seen saying in a video tweeted by Parents Against Critical Theory (PACT). “We [his family] are the minority of the minorities in this country [the U.S.]. Our ancestors and people survived massacres of the Turks and ISIS,” he said. On Wednesday, the LCPS passed Policy 8040 by a vote of 7-2....
With this came a broader geopolitical shift of support away from the West and looking toward the East. The survey, conducted by the University of Maryland’s Center for International and Security Studies at Maryland in conjunction with the independent Toronto-based IranPoll and published Monday, asked 1,001 Iranians their views on a range of subjects including national security, the economy and foreign policy from August 30 through September 9. Among the notable results was a clear disappointment in Biden, who many had hoped would quickly reverse the stringent measures against Iran that were adopted by his predecessor, former President Donald Trump....
Why did it take so long for the media to use the term civil war? The answer says a lot about the relationship between the press and the presidency in the early years of the 21st century. The first thing to understand is that the English language has no generally accepted definition of a civil war. On one side are experts who say that as soon as the Coalition Provisional Authority turned over sovereignty to the new Iraqi government in 2004 amid a sustained insurgency, a state of civil war existed....
The slaughter they carried out has been vast, like the genocidal killing of Kurds in 1988 that used both conventional means and chemical weapons. And it has been terribly intimate: murdering fellow members of the Baath Party, or even relatives. Yet the list of those formally considered “irredeemable,” as one Bush administration official put it, is remarkably short: not even a dirty dozen, but a “Dirty Nine,” including Saddam and his sons, Uday and Qusay....
On Saturday, the model, 26, posted a photo of her transformation on the image-sharing platform, along with a defiant message. Captioning the image, which showed that her fleshly shaved head had been bleached to a platinum blonde hue, Baldwin wrote: “don’t tell me I won’t do something because I will.” While Baldwin’s unveiling of her new look was met with a flood of positive messages, she shared an Instagram Stories post explaining the reasons behind her big decision....

South Africa are third in the world rankings, and are the highest-placed team from the southern hemisphere, with only France separating the Springboks and Ireland on that prestigious ladder....
I had recently been diagnosed with Graves’ disease (an autoimmune thyroid disorder) and had bouts of eczema at the time. Because of my dark complexion and the fact that I was already a regular at the doctor’s office because of my Graves’, it didn’t take long to diagnose my condition. It was vitiligo - an autoimmune disorder that attacks your pigment skin cells (melanocytes). When these cells are damaged, they result in patches of lighter skin or areas that have completely lost their pigmentation....

When director Ciarán O’Reilly talked to Newsweek about working on The Weir, he said the next thing he wanted to direct would be a two-character play with tech-savvy actors. Well, he lied a little: Poet has 10 characters and a way more complicated show. “I don’t listen to my own advice,” he says. So this was much more of a challenge. “Outside of it being double the number of actors who were scattered around the world, the play involves physical contact—both love and violence....
Her appearance back in SNL’s famous Studio 8H—inside Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center—marks her fifth time hosting the NBC sketch comedy show. She first took the host reins back in January 2006 and brought the funny again in 2007, 2010, 2015 and November 2017, her most recent appearance. That’s not to mention the number of times she dropped by for a cameo or was impersonated by one of SNL’s cast members....
History Diaphragms have been used as a birth control method since the 1830s. You need a prescription to get a diaphragm.
