Beauty counters

Tipping Point fans were left distracted during Tuesday's episode, as one stunning contestant answered a rather racy question. Player Sophie was being asked some quick-fire questions by presenter Ben Shephard in a bid to rack up enough counters to beat her fellow contestants to the final head-to-head. And one of them was "A traditional Sunday lunch can be referred to as meat and two what?" Sophie answered correctly with 'veg'. But viewers were left more distracted with the other, more X-rated meaning to the phrase - referring to male genitals. One fan couldn't resist writing on social media: "'Meat and two veg? Really Ben - subliminal messaging?", as another giggled: "Meat and two veg, Ben?!" A third fan was clearly typing through the laughter as they said: "Meat and two veg klaxon!" Sophie managed to beat out Sarah to a place in the final head-to-head, as she prepared to take on Tony for a chance to play for the much-coveted jackpot counter. The … [Read more...] about Tipping Point beauty leaves fans distracted with answer to X-rated question

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said India had never invaded any country but would give a befitting reply to any external aggression. He avoided mentioning China while naming the “five countries” bordering the Northeast at a programme to dedicate 12 strategic Border Roads Organisation (BRO) projects to the country, including one each in the Union Territories of Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir. The event was organised at Kimin in Papum Pare district of Arunachal Pradesh. Kimin is about 75 km from State capital Itanagar. E-dedicating the 20-km Kimin-Potin and the other BRO roads, Mr. Singh rued the lack of attention to the Northeast after Independence. The focus of the Narendra Modi government had been on developing the region with special focus on all forms of communication. “Apart from its natural beauty, cultural and ethnic diversity, the Northeast is strategic because of its unique geography. The region adjoins five countries and there are challenges of managing the … [Read more...] about Will give befitting reply to any external aggression, says Rajnath in Arunachal

WHAT ARE ASIAN-SPECIFIC HAIR NEEDS? Just as Asian skin types have their particular traits, Asian hair too has its own kind of needs. Broadly speaking, Asian hair strands are round and thick. Although it's generally quite straight, the texture can vary from fine to coarse, soft to hard. Compared to Caucasian hair, it's less dense but relatively stronger and more resistant to breakage. However, Asians tend to have oilier scalps, which is why daily washing is needed to prevent tresses from looking flat and greasy. "If the climate is really humid like Singapore, then it's good to have a lighter shampoo for everyday use," says Celia Tham, creative director of BLOC+ The Salon. "It also depends on whether you're targeting the hair or the scalp. Scalp shampoos do more deep-cleansing and they also help to thicken fine hair, but they are usually a little more drying. Soothing scalp shampoos are gentler and more suitable for daily use." "Coarse and dry hair should opt for more … [Read more...] about 16 best shampoos for Asian hair to solve all hair and scalp issues

5 When Missy and Lou Heinzer planned the renovation of their Arlington, Va., kitchen, they knew what they needed: something big enough and sturdy enough to stand up to the needs of three growing boys and their friends. They didn't dream it would all come together in the midst of a pandemic. "We talked about remodeling our kitchen for a few years but finally decided to do it in 2019," Missy says. "We had our plans in place and the demolition got started in March 2020, just as the pandemic began. All the walls were down when everything was shutting down, but we decided to just keep going with the project, and the contractors worked out a safety plan." The Heinzers purchased their Craftsman-style home in 2005 when the house was three years old. Remodeling the first floor was their first major renovation on the property, although they previously did a small basement remodel for Missy's father to move in with the family. "I love the charm of … [Read more...] about Ditching the dining room for a colossal kitchen

WASHINGTON — The US Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the city of Philadelphia violated the First Amendment when it refused to work with a Catholic social services agency that wouldn’t place foster kids with same-sex couples. In a unanimous decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts Jr., the court found that Philadelphia had placed too great a burden on Catholic Social Services’ religious exercise rights by forcing the agency to choose between maintaining its contract with the city or certifying same-sex couples as foster parents against its religious beliefs. The ruling doesn’t stop local governments like Philadelphia from having policies on the books that bar outside agencies that do business with the city from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation. But the court held that such nondiscrimination policies have to be “generally applicable,” and Philadelphia’s were not, the justices concluded. The court rejected a request by Catholic Social Services (CSS) to adopt … [Read more...] about The Supreme Court Ruled Against LGBTQ Families In A Big Religious Freedom Case
