Kylie Jenner Does NOT Think She Has Those Kourtney Kardashian Skills!

Remember when

According to a source speaking to People, the makeup mogul and first-time mom is actually incredibly worried about the whole childbirth process — and is totally up for that epidural:

"She is nervous about the birth and anxious about pain. She wants to have an easy birth and is open to pain medicine."

The source also confirms that Kylie's nursery is indeed "pink, pink, and pink."

So, Perezcious Moms, did YOU go natural?? Tell us about it (below)!

Republican Response to Trump’s ‘Sh*thole’ Comment Is Embarassing

While the left roundly condemned President Trump following reports of comments he made on Thursday referring to African nations as “shithole” countries, Republicans were divided on Trump’s racist language. Trump has since denied using the word “shithole,” but as more reporting emerges, it appears quite likely that he did.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) told reporters Trump said, “…things which were hate-filled, vile, and racist … You’ve seen the comments in the press; I’ve not read one of them that’s inaccurate.” As of Friday morning, prominent Republicans were beginning to verify that the comments were made as well. It has also been reported that the president said, “Why do we need more Haitians? Take them out,” and suggested that Norwegians would make preferable immigrants.

While these are by no means the first racist comments Trump has made in office, these are some of the outrageous and profane words to come out of the Oval Office since his inauguration. While the President launched his campaign by calling Mexicans “rapists,” these comments have captured America’s attention because they are so cavalier and so crass.

But pundits and politicians further to the right embraced Trump’s words.

Some inside Trump’s White House reportedly celebrated his comments, assuming it would energize his base.

By contrast, Republicans in more moderate or so-called “never Trump” camps seized on the opportunity to distance themselves from the president.

Most Republicans who criticized Trump still managed to maintain some level of anti-immigration rhetoric in their words or avoid policy altogether. Jeb Bush, for example, tweeted about the need for a “merit-based system.” Beloved “resistance” hero Arizona Senator Jeff Flake condemned Trump’s words, but there was no talk of policy. Flake has voted with Trump 90% of the time.

With only a handful of notable exceptions, like Utah Rep. Mia Love (whose family is from Haiti), the Republican response to Trump’s words fell into these two camps: outright embrace or critiquing the words but not the deeds behind them. Almost no Republicans made the connection between Trump’s words and the policies he champions.

This is because while Republicans might disagree on what they should say when it comes to their agenda, they are united in executing a vision for America’s future. When Trump made these comments, he was defending as so-called ”merit-based” immigration system that is often criticized as racist. Merit-based immigration is just one of the anti-immigrant measures that Republicans have wholeheartedly supported, including ending DACA and expanding ICE.

This is just one aspect of the Republicans’ agenda that has been in place for half a century, one which has championed white Americans at the expense of people of color. Since Nixon’s use of the Southern Strategy, the electoral shift which aligned Republicans with elements of the American South, Republicans have been the party of white America and they have an agenda that largely comports with white interests over all else. 

However, Republicans have generally been good at employing “dog whistles,” or as a number of journalists have become fond of describing it, “not saying the quiet part loud.” Trump has not only said the quiet part loud, he has made a political career of it. His base likes him largely because he says what other people won’t.

The current Republican platform is a platform of whiteness. Just look at the priorities of the Republican-held Congress. Republicans have denied Puerto Rico the kind of relief that mainland U.S. states like Texas have enjoyed, despite the fact that Puerto Rico is a part of the United States. Republicans have pursued laws that would crack down on Black Lives Matter protests, and have consistently worked against the BLM agenda. Republicans have stood against the wishes of indigenous people on issues like DAPL and Bears Ears National Monument.

On foreign policy, Republicans have pursued the same agenda. Republicans stood lockstep behind the president when it came to declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel, despite almost universal opposition from the U.N. Republicans have supported various versions of the Muslim ban and the expansion of ICE. Even if some Republicans haven’t employed President Trump’s rhetoric, they have stood behind his policies.

Though Trump’s words are hateful and unacceptable from anyone in the public sphere, let alone a president, it is important to remember that any Republican who objects to his words is doing only that. To be a Republican is to agree with the president on a domestic and foreign policy that soaked in whiteness. That is what they stand for, even if they refuse to articulate it with profanity.

Healthy School Lunch Tips: Preparing nutritious lunches for your kids

Dietician Stacy Winton of Memorial Regional Hospital provides several easy tips for parents on how to prepare healthy school lunches kids will enjoy.

Stacy's recommended recipes:

Ingredients:

1 cup packed pitted dates

¼ cup honey

¼ cup almond butter

¾ cup toasted almonds (unsalted or lightly salted)

1 ½ cups rolled oats (instant or quick cooking)

¼ cup semisweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Line an 8”x8” pan with foil, leaving overhanging edges. This will help get bars out of the pan when set.

2. Place dates in a food processor and mix until pasty; small bits may remain. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add oats, nuts, and chocolate chips. Stir with a wooden spoon, dispersing the dates throughout the other ingredients.

3. Warm and stir honey and almond butter in a small saucepan; pour over dry ingredients. Stir quickly to evenly coat; don’t worry if the chocolate chips get melty.

4. Transfer to the lined pan, top with a piece of parchment, foil, or wax paper and press down with hands to compress. Press well so they’ll keep their shape when cut.

Chocolate Date-Nut Energy Bars

Best Black Bean Brownies Ever (They’re also gluten free and vegan!)

Ingredients:

1 15 oz. can black beans, well rinsed and drained (plain, not seasoned)

2 large flax “eggs” (3 TBSP flaxseed meal + 6 TBSP warm water, see “Directions”) no actual eggs are used

3 TBSP coconut oil, melted (or substitute other oil of choice)

3/4 cup cocoa powder (I use Hershey’s Special Dark)

1/4 tsp sea salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

¾-1 cup sugar; to taste (no problem tasting batter; no raw eggs) *I use natural or demerara sugar

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

**Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, toasted pecans or other nuts, shredded coconut flakes, favorite fruit spread or jam…be creative!

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly grease (pan spray) a 12-cavity cupcake/muffin pan

2. Thoroughly rinse and drain black beans, prepare flax “eggs” by combining flax and water in a small bowl and let sit about 5 minutes, stir again; add beans and flax mix to bowl of food processor.

3. Add remaining ingredients and puree-about 3 minutes-scraping down sides as needed.

Nutty and Nutritious Green Smoothie

1 cup almond milk

2 large handfuls raw spinach

1/2 medium or 3/4 small apple

1 heaping tablespoon peanut butter

1-2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup

1. Blend almond milk with spinach until smooth and no leafy chunks remain

2. Add apples and peanut butter, blend until smooth and creamy.

3. Taste, if not sweet enough, add honey to taste.

4. Enjoy as breakfast, snack, or dessert!

A Thank You Letter To Shameless From All The Strong Girls Watching

All The Best Signs We Saw At The Women’s March This Weekend

ICMYI: A couple pretty important things happened this past Saturday, January 20th:

1. Trump, against all odds, managed to reach the first anniversary of his inauguration.

2. The government shut down. (But it's back open now so we're chill.)

3. Hundreds of thousands of women took to the streets to protest the molding orange that rots away lives in the White House for the second year in a row.

As I'm sure you noticed, items two and three are directly related to item one. Because while Trump was sitting at his desk attempting to recreate stock photos of people working, women gathered in streets and city centers around the world to remind everyone that the president is a fucking idiot. Not only did they manage to pull off a badass, wildly successful protest with tons of high-profile celebrity endorsements, but they did it while wielding creative AF signs and posing for perfect Instagram posts. Women, we really can do it all. Here are some of our fav signs from Saturday.

Nazis Can't Sit With Us

 When planning a protest, guest lists are vital. For example, maybe don't invite people who are pro-genocide. Idk, just spitballing here.

Resisting Bitch Face 

Finally, we're politicizing resting bitch face.

Shithole 

Usually I am firmly opposed to zoomed in, high-res photos of Trump's mouth, but for this sign I'll make an exception.

The Golden Rule of Tweeting

File under: things I need to remember when drunk sub-tweeting that coworker I hate on a Friday night after an extensive happy hour.

Crowds>Trump

You know things are bad when the government is overriding social anxiety.

Granny and the Pussyhats 

Want to clear out any men in a twenty mile radius? Remind them that women over the age of 30 still have genitals.

Dog 2020 

I trust this dog more than any Republican I've ever met.

Best Stable Genius Pun

Lil Sebastian would have never let this presidency happen.

The Roast of Paul Ryan

Clueless Reference For The Win

Amber would have totes been a Trump supporter.

Power to the PMS

A fun argument to keep on the back burner next time a man asks if you’re PMS-ing.

The Classic Regina George As Ovaries 

You KNOW Trump has made out with more than one hot dog.

A Tasteful Impeach Pun

Topical sign or classy print for your home? Why not both?

The Timeley Tide Pod Joke

Tide Pods: still better for you than Trump’s McDonalds order.

(Disclaimer: I am kidding, Jesus Christ, PLEASE don’t eat a Tide Pod)

Cunt Queen

Someone come collect your grandmother and tell her that she is my HERO.

Carrie Fisher Tribute

Can we please organize some What Would Carrie Fisher Do shirts by the next Women’s March? K thanks.

Viva La Vulva 

This sign combines the GOP’s two biggest fears: female anatomy and foreign languages.

Smokey The Bear Joins The Resistance

Don’t start forest fires unless they’re on the White House lawn. That's just like, the rules of feminism.

Inspired By Pasta

The only acceptable time to eat Carbonara.

In A Nutshell 

Me anytime anyone asks me about 2017 or politics or my future or whatever I said/did when blacked out last weekend.

You Are What You Eat Support 

Screenshot this one to text to your conservative relatives ahead of Thanksgiving this year.

The Ugly Truth About Cheetos

I whisper this to myself every time I’m hungover and strolling through the chip aisle.

RIP Barb 

100% would fuck the Demogorgon over Trump. Like, it’s not even a close call.

A Spongebob Throwback

Can you feel it* Mr. Krabs?

*The dismantling of the patriarchy

This Sign Is Like, Really Smart 

2017: Tapeworm Kelly Kapoor

2018: Kelly Kapoor, business bitch

The Future Is Female 

Never forget, ladies. 2018 is coming.

Just Like, All Of Team Betches Sup

Ima let you finish but, Team Betches Sup had some of the best Women's March signs of all time. You know what they say: the company that marches for their collective civil rights together, brunches together after.

I Dated 5 Men At Once And Heres What I Learned About Modern Romance

Researchers Are Worried That A Brain Illness Known As “Zombie Deer” Disease May Start Infecting Humans

New Netflix doc picks apart the Trump illusion

‘Riverdale’ Recap: Archie Has The Physique Of A 1970s Porn Star

Well this week’s episode of was about as riveting as watching paint dry. Thanks for that, CW. I’m only a loyal viewer who tunes in week after week in the hopes that Jughead and Betty will do it I get to see more drama than when Kayla in marketing realizes someone ate her yogurt in the fridge EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HER NAME WRITTEN RIGHT THERE, PEOPLE. But by all means, produce a garbage episode in which the most exciting thing that happens is I get to see a flash of Archie’s nipple. K. Shall we dive into the episode then?

I love how Veronica just gets to sit in on mayoral meetings and shady business dealings now and none of the other parents present even seem the least bit concerned by this. They’re all gathered around talking about town politics and Veronica is just like “may I chime in?” And it’s like, yes, if they wanted advice on how to dissect a fuckboy’s texts then maybe they’d ask for you to “chime in” here, but in the meantime go back to homeroom, Veronica.

Cut to the Coopers who are just trying to have nice pancake breakfast while Chic tells them all about the prostitution ring he’s a part of. Their reaction is similar to when my parents heard/saw photographic evidence of what my sorority mixers were actually like in college, but that’s neither here nor there.

Also, let’s talk about the name Chic for a second please. Honey. Baby. Sweetie. You don't have to keep the name the Johns give you in real life. Just go by Charlie.

So, what do we think Jughead researching his “oral history” with Toni really means? Cause I highly doubt it involves grandpas or history like they keep trying to emphasize.

Archie decides to join the wrestling team to impress Hiram Lodge because he finds Hiram v intimidating. Isn't it odd that Hiram and Lodge Industries are supposed to be this big bad business, but it's actually just one little former soap opera star sitting behind a big desk rubbing his hands together and giggling?

I mean, the whole wrestling plan does seem a bit far-fetched since Hiram isn’t a six year old, but I am totally on board for Archie speaking minimally and only wearing a tight spandex onesie for an entire episode. I’m glad The CW finally understands how to play to his character strengths. 

Meanwhile, Kevin casually remembers that Chic is a video gigolo, which I guess means he discovered the internet and realized he didn't have to troll for dudes in the forest anymore? Progress. Also, why is Betty acting like Chic’s career as a man of the evening is so fucking surprising? Like, didn’t he tell her when she found him with a video camera in a seedy motel room that his line of work was “wish fulfillment?" What did you think he meant by that, Betty? Because I was thinking he meant those wishes involved other dudes’ dicks.

Okay why are only half the guys at this tryout wearing a singlet? And why is it only the hot ones with speaking parts? What kind of subliminal messaging are you trying to force upon me, CW??

KEVIN: Archie has the physique of a 1970s porn star, but he can’t wrestle for shit.

God bless you, Kevin, and your one liners.

Ugh why are the only scenes that include Jughead and Betty anymore about them talking about genocide? I mean, is it horrible that the Blossoms massacred the Serpents in Training Ukenta back in the day? Yes. But is it equally horrible that I haven’t seen Jughead dry hump on a kitchen counter since last season? Also yes! Why doesn’t the CW want me to have nice things?

HAHA listening to Hiram emasculate Archie in front of Veronica is everything. Also, is it just me, or was there a strong subtext of impotence happening throughout that entire scene?

HIRAM: The thought of you two in her bedroom alone used to make me nervous but now that I’ve seen how you *perform* under pressure I’m not nervous anymore.

ARCHIE:

The longer Toni hangs out in this town the more I’m into her. Jughead is like, trying to publish an entry in his burn book write an exposé on the injustices behind the Pickens Day celebrations. He shows it to Toni and she’s like “isn’t this a little bit… dramatic?” And it’s like, YES GIRL, it’s pettier than my college group chat. 

Why is Betty talking to her brother about the “darkness in her?" Is she referring to the Dark Betty wig thing? Or the public pole dancing thing? And why is this whole conversation giving me weird sib-cest vibes? 

BETTY: There’s a darkness inside me, Chic. Do you want me to show you?

ME:

We’re three seconds into Hiram privately coaching Archie and I already have a feeling this will turn into a deleted scene of v soon. Also, I have no idea why Archie’s trying so hard to impress Veronica’s dad. It’s clear she could give a shit what Hiram thinks, and also Archie has banged his daughter on every surface of that apartment so it’s not like Hiram actually has a leg to stand on here.

Okay this Chuck vs. Archie wrestling scene is actually super hot more homoerotic than Archie’s Red Hood videos.

Also, Hal’s totally not Chic’s dad. If that “you know why he can’t stay here” comment means anything it’s that Alice was a hoe stepped out on him.

Wait, did Mrs. Blossom just proposition Hal? 3.5 seconds after he gave that high and mighty speech about not standing for prostitutes living under his roof? And is he accepting?? The hypocrisy of white middle aged men knows no bounds. 

The Serpents crash the parade with a protest but Hiram shuts that shit down immediately. Tbh he really missed his calling in life because he would have done great things as a chapter president of a sorority. Great. Things. 

Did Betty just ask her brother to help her become a cam girl?? DID SHE? Betty, I know you’ve had a strange childhood but that shit isn’t acceptable. There are things you can do with your siblings but one of those things is not starting an internet porn career. Alice, get your house in order!

Hiram offers Archie a position at his company because what’s one more 16-year-old on the company payroll, amiright?

The episode ends with the beheading… of a statue. That’s the big dramatic moment The CW decided was worth ending an episode on: a headless statue. *takes deep, calming breaths* All I have to say is, next week I better see some actual fucking entertainment happening or I will bitch to no one but my TV screen NOT be pleased. CW, you’ve been warned...

On Flight to Davos, Trump Erupted Over DOJ Role in Russia Probe

President Donald Trump’s frustrations with the Russia investigation boiled over on Air Force One last week when he learned that a top Justice Department official had warned against releasing a memo that could undercut the probe, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

Trump erupted in anger while traveling to Davos after learning that Associate Attorney General Stephen Boyd warned that it would be “extraordinarily reckless” to release a classified memo written by House Republican staffers. The memo outlines alleged misdeeds at the FBI and Justice Department related to the Russia investigation.

For Trump, the letter was yet another example of the Justice Department undermining him and stymieing Republican efforts to expose what the president sees as the politically motivated agenda behind Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.

Trump’s outburst capped a week where Trump and senior White House officials personally reproached Attorney General Jeff Sessions and asked White House Chief of Staff John Kelly to speak to others -- episodes that illustrate Trump’s preoccupation with the Justice Department, according to two of the people.

Trump warned Sessions and others they need to excel at their jobs or go down as the worst in history, the two people said.

The incidents -- and the extraordinary level of Trump’s personal involvement with Justice Department officials on the matter -- are the latest signs of the growing pressure on Trump as a federal investigation into him, his campaign and his administration stretches into its second year.

Text Messages

Trump met with Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray at the White House last Monday to discuss missing text messages sent between two FBI agents who had expressed anti-Trump views. One of the agents later left his investigation and Mueller removed the other after learning of the texts.

Kelly held separate meetings or phone calls with senior Justice Department officials last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday to convey Trump’s displeasure and lecture them on the White House’s expectations, according to the people. Kelly has taken to ending such conversations with a disclaimer that the White House isn’t expecting officials to do anything illegal or unethical.

After Trump’s strong reaction on Air Force One over the Boyd letter, White House officials, including Kelly, sprang into action again, lashing Justice Department officials Thursday over the decision to send the letter, according to the people. Sarah Isgur Flores, director of public affairs at the Department of Justice, declined to comment.

Despite the president’s frustrations over the probe, Trump’s lawyers have been cooperating with Mueller and plan to continue working with him, but they are starting to push for him to wrap things up, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Mueller is getting close to wrapping up a portion of his probe that is focusing on whether the president or his associates obstructed justice, although other parts of the investigation are expected to last at least several months longer, according to current and former U.S. officials.

McCabe Resignation

Several people close to Trump insist he isn’t preparing to fire Wray, Sessions or other senior officials. But the Justice Department’s decision to send the Boyd letter to the House Intelligence Committee last week has intensified Trump’s concern that his own department is undercutting him, several people familiar with the matter said.

The president is frustrated that Justice Department officials keep getting involved in issues related to the probe when they don’t need to, leading him to wonder if anyone was trying to protect people implicated in the GOP memo, according to one person familiar with the matter.

Kelly called Sessions directly to complain about the letter, and several other White House officials chided officials at Justice as well. Sessions was also at the White House Monday for an immigration meeting and for a discussion Tuesday of the department’s goals for the coming months.

On Monday, FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who has been blasted by Trump and other Republicans, stepped down and will be on leave until he retires sometime in the spring, a person familiar with the matter said. Republicans had criticized McCabe’s involvement in aspects of the Trump probe and the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email practices, even though his wife had accepted donations from Democratic political organizations for an unsuccessful election bid in 2015.

Trump’s anger was exacerbated by reports last week that the president had wanted to fire Mueller last June. The New York Times reported Thursday that the pressure to fire Mueller was averted after White House counsel Don McGahn made clear he would resign before carrying out such an order.

Business Dispute

Two people familiar with the matter said the actual events were more complicated and that Trump never issued a formal order to fire Mueller. Trump was surprised by Mueller’s appointment, saying that he had previously had a business dispute with the special counsel, and reacted angrily until McGahn calmed him down.

The emergence of the Mueller firing story troubled White House aides, who said Trump had been showing more restraint in recent months at not making pronouncements or threats that would cross dangerous political lines in dealing with Mueller’s probe.

It also comes at a time when conservative media and Fox News have been doing blanket coverage of a Republican push to question the motives of FBI and Justice officials as part of a campaign to undermine the Mueller probe.

The House Intelligence Committee plans to vote Monday evening on whether to release its classified memo, which contains allegations of counterintelligence surveillance abuses against at least one Trump campaign aide. If the panel votes to release it, it would fall to the White House, perhaps with the advice of intelligence agencies, to decide whether some of the contents are too sensitive and need to be redacted.

Three House lawmakers who have read it said the memo claims FBI officials didn’t provide a complete set of facts in requests made to a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court to obtain a warrant or warrants on Carter Page, a Trump campaign associate.

The memo claims important details were left out that might have kept a judge from issuing a surveillance warrant, or possibly two, targeting Page, according to the lawmakers, who asked for anonymity to describe the sensitive document. Those include its claims that investigators were relying partly on an unverified dossier put together by an opposition research firm that hired a former British spy, Christopher Steele -- work that was funded by Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton, and Democrats.

House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes and other Republicans have also blasted the FBI over thousands of text messages sent between the two anti-Trump FBI officials, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, who criticized Trump in their exchanges. Some Republicans were angered when the bureau said it had lost some of the texts before the Justice Department’s inspector general announced Thursday that the missing texts had been recovered with forensic tools.

    Ingvar Kamprad, Ikea’s Swedish Billionaire Founder, Dies at 91

    Ingvar Kamprad, whose boyhood business of selling pencils and seeds from his bicycle in Sweden eventually grew into the Ikea furniture chain, has died. He was 91.

    “One of the greatest entrepreneurs of the 20th century, Ingvar Kamprad, has peacefully passed away at his home in Smaland, Sweden, on Jan. 27," Ikea said in an emailed statement on Sunday. The founder of Ikea, as well as a bank for its customers, Ikano, “was “surrounded by his loved ones,” and died “following a short illness."

    Kamprad had an estimated net worth of $58.7 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, making him the world’s eighth-richest person. The wealth was accumulated by producing furniture for the masses that was affordable and easy to transport. The Ikea flat packs revolutionized the way in which tables, chairs and other items could be stored and shipped, before being assembled by the customer.

    “We are mourning the loss of our founder and dear friend Ingvar,” Jesper Brodin, chief executive officer of the Ikea Group, the largest retailer in the Ikea franchise system, said in a statement. “His legacy will be admired for many years to come and his vision –- to create a better everyday life for the many people -– will continue to guide and inspire us.”

    Frugal Billionaire

    Kamprad was known for driving an old Volvo, recycling tea bags and taking home little packets of salt and pepper from restaurant visits. He was known as “Uncle Scrooge” and “The Miser” in the Swiss village of Epalinges, near Lausanne, where he moved in the 1970s before returning to Sweden a few years ago. He also avoided wearing suits and ties and traveled coach when flying.

    Ikea’s corporate culture mirrors Kamprad’s celebration of frugality. Executives of the company travel on low-cost airlines and lodge in budget hotels. Its employees follow a basic pamphlet written by Kamprad in 1976, “The Testament of a Furniture Dealer,” which states that “wasting resources is a mortal sin,” and stipulates Ikea’s “duty to expand.”

    Brodin, who during his career at Ikea worked for three years as an assistant to Kamprad, said in a phone interview on Sunday that the billionaire “started as a 17-year-old with two empty pockets, but a ton of entrepreneurship. He used to tell me that he never knew it would become so big."

    Kamprad’s death “will affect us all and we’ll take time to be sad and reflect on what Ingvar achieved," Brodin said.

    Condolences poured in from politicians, business leaders and royalty. Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said his country had lost a “unique entrepreneur who meant a lot to Sweden’s business community.”

    Foreign Minister Margot Wallstrom said Kamprad “pre-eminently put Sweden on the world map. A fantastic entrepreneur who contributed to bringing Sweden out into the world. My thoughts are with his family and relatives.”

    The Ikea Experience

    Entire families descended on the company’s stores each week and Ikea’s merchandise became ubiquitous. Shoppers drop off their children at Ikea day-care centers, dine at Ikea restaurants and select from among thousands of products ranging from leather sofas to soup ladles. In 2017, 403 Ikea stores in 49 countries received 936 million visitors, and the chain generated sales of 38.3 billion euros ($47.6 billion).

    U.K. style magazine Icon in 2005 named Kamprad the most influential taste-maker in the world, and wrote “if it wasn’t for Ikea, most people would have no access to affordable contemporary design. The company has done more to bring about an acceptance of domestic modernity than the rest of the design world combined.”

    The name Ikea is made up of the founder’s initials and the first letters of the Elmtaryd farm and Agunnaryd village where he was raised. His flat-pack furniture was invented by Ikea employee Gillis Lundgren in 1956 when he tried to fit a table into the back of a car. Realizing the table was too bulky, Lundgren removed the legs. Storing and selling Billy book shelves or entire kitchens in pieces has let Ikea cut storage space and fill its trucks with more goods.

    The concept of having customers pick up most of their own furniture in adjacent warehouses and transport it home for self-assembly also helped drive down costs.

    Childhood Business

    Ingvar Feodor Kamprad was born March 30, 1926, near the southern Swedish town of Almhult. His father, Feodor, looked after the family farm and his mother, Berta, ran a lodging house on the property during the summer. At age 5, Kamprad started his business ventures by selling matches to his neighbors. Buying in bulk in Stockholm and selling at a premium in smaller quantities, he got his introduction to a business practice he would cherish at Ikea.

    The entrepreneur, who was still attending high school in Gothenburg, moved on to fish, Christmas-tree decorations, seeds and pencils, which he sold from his bicycle. Founding Ikea in 1943, Kamprad then started marketing pens, wallets and nylon stockings in the local media, and distributed them using a milk van. He began selling furniture in 1948.

    In the 1990s, Kamprad found himself under attack when his association with a pro-Nazi group, five decades earlier, came to light. Kamprad apologized to Ikea employees, saying his membership was the “greatest mistake of his life.”

    Ikea opened its first store in Almhult, Sweden, in 1958.

    Kamprad stepped down as CEO in the late 1980s. He continued to wield power as an adviser to the holding company, and he designed an ownership structure to ensure Ikea’s future survival and independence. An Ikea employee magazine in 2012 revealed that his three sons had been given more active roles at the closely held company. In 2013, he relinquished his role as chairman of Inter Ikea Group.

    “Since 1988 Ingvar Kamprad did not have an operational role within Ikea but he continued to contribute to the business in the role of senior advisor, sharing his knowledge and energy with the Ikea co-workers," the company said on Sunday.

    Kamprad ”was a great entrepreneur of the typical southern Swedish kind — hardworking and stubborn, with a lot of warmth and a playful twinkle in his eye,” Ikea said in the statement. ”He worked until the very end of his life, staying true to his own motto that most things remain to be done.”

      The U.S. Is About to Get Real Cold Again. Blame It on Global Warming

      Because the world is getting warmer, it’s getting colder, too.

      Crazy as that sounds, there’s an explanation in the northernmost corner of the the planet, where temperatures are rising twice as fast as anywhere else. That affects the jet streams churning through the upper atmosphere, and results in more weird winter cold snaps.

      The ones that descended in early January on the U.S. south brought snow and and ice to deep-freeze amateurs in cities including Birmingham, Alabama, and Oxford, Mississippi. Another one expected as early as next weekend may push readings more than 15 degrees Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) below average across the north-central part of the country.

      More frequent and persistent bouts of severe or unseasonal weather are in most everyone’s future if the Arctic’s rapid warming continues, according to new research. Simply put, there will be fewer years when “climate is just average,” said Valerie Trouet, an associate professor at the University of Arizona’s School of Natural Resources and the Environment. “More extreme positions of the jet mean more extreme weather.”

      The reason: Climate change is reducing the gap between North Pole temperatures and those to the south, weakening winds in the upper atmosphere and creating conditions that propel their currents in unusual new ways.

      The North Atlantic jet stream has been moving exceptionally far north or south more frequently since the 1960s than at any time in the last 300 years, according to a study co-authored by Trouet and published in the journal Nature Communications. This is the first research to use climatological data gleaned from tree-growth rings to reconstruct centuries of wind patterns.

      The average air temperature over Arctic land last year was the second highest, after 2016, since 1900. Readings were 2.9 degrees Fahrenheit above the average for 1981 to 2010, according to a report sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

      The amount of summer sea ice in the Arctic has declined by more than 30 percent in the past few decades. This has exposed more open water and land, which absorb heat and accelerate warming. The shift has been happening more quickly than computer models projected; summer seasons that are completely ice-free around the pole are considered likely sometime in the next few decades.

      The frigid temperatures this winter and images of unlikely places blanketed in snow -- the Sahara Desert, for instance -- have been grist for people who doubt global warming is a phenomenon. But such wild weather could actually end up persuading skeptics, said Jennifer Francis, a research professor at New Jersey’s Rutgers University who has written on the jet streams changes.

      An odd, disruptive meteorological condition “is an incredibly effective tool to get the public to understand better how climate is going to affect them,” Francis said. In other words, when icicles are forming in your swimming pool in Houston, you just know something is going on.

        ‘Riverdale’ Recap: Archie Has The Physique Of A 1970s Porn Star

        Well this week’s episode of was about as riveting as watching paint dry. Thanks for that, CW. I’m only a loyal viewer who tunes in week after week in the hopes that Jughead and Betty will do it I get to see more drama than when Kayla in marketing realizes someone ate her yogurt in the fridge EVEN THOUGH IT HAS HER NAME WRITTEN RIGHT THERE, PEOPLE. But by all means, produce a garbage episode in which the most exciting thing that happens is I get to see a flash of Archie’s nipple. K. Shall we dive into the episode then?

        I love how Veronica just gets to sit in on mayoral meetings and shady business dealings now and none of the other parents present even seem the least bit concerned by this. They’re all gathered around talking about town politics and Veronica is just like “may I chime in?” And it’s like, yes, if they wanted advice on how to dissect a fuckboy’s texts then maybe they’d ask for you to “chime in” here, but in the meantime go back to homeroom, Veronica.

        Cut to the Coopers who are just trying to have nice pancake breakfast while Chic tells them all about the prostitution ring he’s a part of. Their reaction is similar to when my parents heard/saw photographic evidence of what my sorority mixers were actually like in college, but that’s neither here nor there.

        Also, let’s talk about the name Chic for a second please. Honey. Baby. Sweetie. You don't have to keep the name the Johns give you in real life. Just go by Charlie.

        So, what do we think Jughead researching his “oral history” with Toni really means? Cause I highly doubt it involves grandpas or history like they keep trying to emphasize.

        Archie decides to join the wrestling team to impress Hiram Lodge because he finds Hiram v intimidating. Isn't it odd that Hiram and Lodge Industries are supposed to be this big bad business, but it's actually just one little former soap opera star sitting behind a big desk rubbing his hands together and giggling?

        I mean, the whole wrestling plan does seem a bit far-fetched since Hiram isn’t a six year old, but I am totally on board for Archie speaking minimally and only wearing a tight spandex onesie for an entire episode. I’m glad The CW finally understands how to play to his character strengths. 

        Meanwhile, Kevin casually remembers that Chic is a video gigolo, which I guess means he discovered the internet and realized he didn't have to troll for dudes in the forest anymore? Progress. Also, why is Betty acting like Chic’s career as a man of the evening is so fucking surprising? Like, didn’t he tell her when she found him with a video camera in a seedy motel room that his line of work was “wish fulfillment?" What did you think he meant by that, Betty? Because I was thinking he meant those wishes involved other dudes’ dicks.

        Okay why are only half the guys at this tryout wearing a singlet? And why is it only the hot ones with speaking parts? What kind of subliminal messaging are you trying to force upon me, CW??

        KEVIN: Archie has the physique of a 1970s porn star, but he can’t wrestle for shit.

        God bless you, Kevin, and your one liners.

        Ugh why are the only scenes that include Jughead and Betty anymore about them talking about genocide? I mean, is it horrible that the Blossoms massacred the Serpents in Training Ukenta back in the day? Yes. But is it equally horrible that I haven’t seen Jughead dry hump on a kitchen counter since last season? Also yes! Why doesn’t the CW want me to have nice things?

        HAHA listening to Hiram emasculate Archie in front of Veronica is everything. Also, is it just me, or was there a strong subtext of impotence happening throughout that entire scene?

        HIRAM: The thought of you two in her bedroom alone used to make me nervous but now that I’ve seen how you *perform* under pressure I’m not nervous anymore.

        ARCHIE:

        The longer Toni hangs out in this town the more I’m into her. Jughead is like, trying to publish an entry in his burn book write an exposé on the injustices behind the Pickens Day celebrations. He shows it to Toni and she’s like “isn’t this a little bit… dramatic?” And it’s like, YES GIRL, it’s pettier than my college group chat. 

        Why is Betty talking to her brother about the “darkness in her?" Is she referring to the Dark Betty wig thing? Or the public pole dancing thing? And why is this whole conversation giving me weird sib-cest vibes? 

        BETTY: There’s a darkness inside me, Chic. Do you want me to show you?

        ME:

        We’re three seconds into Hiram privately coaching Archie and I already have a feeling this will turn into a deleted scene of v soon. Also, I have no idea why Archie’s trying so hard to impress Veronica’s dad. It’s clear she could give a shit what Hiram thinks, and also Archie has banged his daughter on every surface of that apartment so it’s not like Hiram actually has a leg to stand on here.

        Okay this Chuck vs. Archie wrestling scene is actually super hot more homoerotic than Archie’s Red Hood videos.

        Also, Hal’s totally not Chic’s dad. If that “you know why he can’t stay here” comment means anything it’s that Alice was a hoe stepped out on him.

        Wait, did Mrs. Blossom just proposition Hal? 3.5 seconds after he gave that high and mighty speech about not standing for prostitutes living under his roof? And is he accepting?? The hypocrisy of white middle aged men knows no bounds. 

        The Serpents crash the parade with a protest but Hiram shuts that shit down immediately. Tbh he really missed his calling in life because he would have done great things as a chapter president of a sorority. Great. Things. 

        Did Betty just ask her brother to help her become a cam girl?? DID SHE? Betty, I know you’ve had a strange childhood but that shit isn’t acceptable. There are things you can do with your siblings but one of those things is not starting an internet porn career. Alice, get your house in order!

        Hiram offers Archie a position at his company because what’s one more 16-year-old on the company payroll, amiright?

        The episode ends with the beheading… of a statue. That’s the big dramatic moment The CW decided was worth ending an episode on: a headless statue. *takes deep, calming breaths* All I have to say is, next week I better see some actual fucking entertainment happening or I will bitch to no one but my TV screen NOT be pleased. CW, you’ve been warned...
