What that means for most of us is that the baking section of our local supermarket is utterly bare. But if you can’t get hold of flour, that doesn’t mean that you can’t make a dessert that is both delicious and highly instagrammable (#runningoutofcatpicstosharewithfriends). Here are some ideas to take you beyond batter. Tiramisu The great thing about making Tiramisu is that you don’t even have to switch on the oven....
“I don’t think it matters. It is good to have more time to prepare, but this is a competition where we sometimes have to play four days later,” Roca told reporters at the post- match press conference last night here. “Next time, it is for us (the shorter recovery period) and we have to go to Goa. We cannot complain about that. It is our job,” he added. Portugal had complained about the recovery time and training facility given to Delhi after they were thrashed 4-1....
It will be Bhutia’s farewell game after he announced his retirement from international football earlier this year. Nonetheless, the former Perak FA striker feels it is a prestigious way to end his national team tenure. “My career has been a great learning for me, a wonderful experience. My 16-year international football career has made me richer in experience and I have grown as a person,” he enthused “Playing my final India match against Bayern Münich is a great honour, but also a tough finale for me....
Responding to Trump’s remarks, former Vice President Joe Biden, who has been consistently polling in at number one among 2020 candidates in recent months, tweeted: “America’s strength is and has always been rooted in our diversity. But President Trump continues to spew hateful rhetoric, sow division, and stoke racial tensions for his own political gain. “Let’s be clear: Racism and xenophobia have no place in America,” the 76-year-old Democrat added....
While defending a proposed budget for fiscal year 2022 in front of the House of Representatives’ Homeland Security Committee, Mayorkas said the DHS is focused on innovation and technology to improve border security. “When you take a look at the border as a whole, it is not one size fits all,” Mayorkas said. “The border is very dynamic. There are different needs and challenges at different parts of the border....
The U.S. Treasury announced Wednesday that the sanctions are part of the White House’s policy to maintain pressure on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and hold armed groups accountable for human rights violations. “The United States is taking action to promote accountability for entities and individuals that have perpetuated the suffering of the Syrian people,” Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said. “Today’s action makes clear that the United States will not forget the victims of human rights abuses in Syria and will use appropriate tools to target and single out those responsible, regardless of the perpetrator....
Speaking to reporters outside the White House on Wednesday, Biden was asked if he was ruling out putting military service members on the ground in Ukraine if such a scenario occurred. “That is not on the table,” he replied. “We have a moral obligation and a legal obligation to our NATO allies if they were to attack, under Article 5. That’s a sacred obligation. That obligation does not extend to…Ukraine....
The question is, will these victories be enough to stop a recent trend of voters of color, long a mainstay of the Democrats, defecting to the Republicans? Modern day Republicans have done nothing to actually win over Black and Latino voters, but some African Americans and Latinos are frustrated with what they view as Democrats’ broken promises and failures to address persistent disparities that plague our communities in areas like education, housing, and criminal justice....
As our constant readers are doubtless aware, we at SK POP have often alluded to how Kim Wexler was Saul Goodman’s final link to humanity. As the man went from a conman to a criminal and dragged his wife along for the ride, she kept him tethered to a semblance of normalcy. Even as Jimmy McGill became Saul Goodman became Gene Takovic, even during his moral decay, he did not lose the love he had for his wife....
United announced on Thursday evening that the Portuguese manager has signed up for a one-year extension containing a further one-year option which would see Mourinho stay at Old Trafford until 2021. For a man who has built his reputation on short-term assignments, seeing out this deal would break new ground. “I feel happy. I don’t sign contracts if I’m not happy,” he told MUTV after putting pen to paper on the new deal....
As recently as three years ago, Colombia and its neighbors ranked at or near the top of U.S. foreign-policy priorities. The reason: about 80 percent of all the cocaine consumed by Americans comes from that country. In what has been a typical approach, the U.S. Congress in the summer of 2000 allocated $1.3 billion to jump-start Plan Colombia–a five-year antinarcotics initiative aimed at cutting drug production in half. Almost overnight Colombia became the largest recipient of U....
The range of that content is broad, spanning from ’80s television to a famous Muppet, from cop shows to cartoons.

Anatomy The biceps is one of four muscles alongside the brachialis, brachioradialis, and coracobrachialis muscles that make up the upper arm. The biceps muscle is comprised of two heads. At each end are connective tissues called tendons that anchor the muscles to bone. The long head originates from a cavity in the scapula called the glenoid. It passes through the shoulder joint to the upper arm through a groove in the humerus (the large bone of the upper arm)....
The manufacturing sector has not only recovered the 1.3 million jobs it lost at the start of the pandemic, it has also added tens of thousands of new jobs since Biden took office, driven by a shift in consumer spending from travel and other services to durable goods. Biden and Congressional Democrats are leaning on this economic success story to make their closing arguments ahead of the midterm elections, claiming the American Rescue Plan, infrastructure law, legislation boosting the U....
Employees at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida are no longer required to be vaccinated against COVID-19—a move that comes after DeSantis signed four bills into law requiring businesses to provide exemptions to vaccine mandates. White House press secretary Jen Psaki took aim at DeSantis, a Republican, following Disney’s decision in comments delivered aboard Air Force One on Monday. “I think the Disney piece is important to differentiate because, as they’re based in Florida and, obviously, the governor there has consistently taken steps to take steps backward, as it relates to fighting the pandemic, not forward,” Psaki said....
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken kept up pressure on the Kremlin Sunday to pull back on the extremely tight security measures and police crackdowns which are intended to quash pro-Navalny protests across the country’s 11 time zones. “The U.S. condemns the persistent use of harsh tactics against peaceful protesters and journalists by Russian authorities for a second week straight,” Blinken tweeted Sunday. “We renew our call for Russia to release those detained for exercising their human rights, including Aleksey Navalny....
The Associated Press is reporting that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is leasing sales for oil and gas mining in states such as Wyoming, Colorado, Montana, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico. The agency has scaled back leases in Wyoming and Montana due to potential impacts on vulnerable animal populations. Despite this, Wyoming still has roughly 280 square miles up for leasing. However, the BLM said that there is not much they can do to prevent climate change impacts from burning the fuels....
Unfortunately, Biden’s Inaugural Address took a wrong historical turn by endorsing progressives’ regressive interpretation of America’s past. “Our history,” he claimed, “has been a constant struggle between the American ideal that we are all created equal and the harsh, ugly reality that racism, nativism, fear, demonization have long torn us apart.” This stick-figure history minimizes America’s remarkable advances against racism—many of which Democrats should boast about. It hasn’t been perennial trench warfare between competing forces: It’s been a rout, with the forces of liberty and equality occasionally facing racist resistance, which they keep overcoming decisively....
