Two Republican candidates in Colorado state House elections have secured very narrow victories following mandatory recounts conducted by the secretary of state’s office.

In House District 16, which includes a portion of El Paso County, Republican Rebecca Keltie received 20,641 votes, narrowly defeating the Democratic incumbent Rep. Stephanie Vigil, who garnered 20,638 votes. According to the office, Vigil’s vote count increased by three during the recount, The Center Square reported.

Secretary of State Jena Griswold initiated the recount on November 25. Under state law, recounts are mandatory when the vote difference in a race is less than 0.5% of the total votes for the winner, the outlet said.

“The mandatory recount for HD-16 brought this race to a tie,” Vigil said in a statement. “It was only in the process of the canvass board’s review that three Vigil votes were reversed, which therefore tilted the election in Ms. Keltie’s favor by three votes. It’s my understanding that the canvass board’s report will be certified by the Secretary of State, which will make Ms. Keltie representative-elect for HD-16.”

Vigil did not exclude the possibility of challenging the recount results legally.

“There are legal remedies available to me to investigate possible variables that would return the results to what the recount process initially determined, but I will need to consult with legal experts before making a decision of that magnitude,” Vigil said.

When hitting the beach, some moms like to be on the modest side. After all, if you’re running around with your kids, you might want to wear something you know will stay put and not reveal more than you’d like. Then, there’s also the body image issue where some moms may not have shrunk back to their pre-baby size and may not want to reveal too much for that reason.

Other moms are apparently okay with letting it all hang out. One of those moms is Australian influencer and fitness model Tammy Hembrow. She has over 15 million followers on Instagram and over 1 million subscribers on YouTube. She also has three children and two companies. She simply does it all…

For many viewers, this bikini took minimalist too far.

Side sleeping is the go-to position of many people. However they may not be aware that this comes with certain health benefits. In fact, different sleeping positions could lead to different results in the body, for good and bad. In general, people should sleep however they find themselves most comfortable. Still, if they are experiencing symptoms like back pain, jaw pain, poor digestion, and more, they may want to consider changing their bed positioning. To be more specific, they may want to consider sleeping on their left side.

The Benefits of Sleeping on Your Left Side

Reduce back pain – Sleeping on the stomach could pressure the spine and cause aching. Side sleeping keeps the spine in a naturally straight position and reduces the pressure in the lower back.

Reduce snoring – Sleeping on the back causes the tongue and soft palate to slide backward and partially cover the airway, causing increased snoring. It’s also a common occurrence for people with sleep apnea. But side-sleeping keeps the tongue forward and the airway clear.

Improve digestion – Sleeping on the left side, in particular, could ease some gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, constipation, and heartburn. The stomach is on the left side of the body, so lying on that side allows gravity to aid the digestion process.

It may help with brain health. Many people are unaware that the brain eliminates waste during slumber. Studies indicate that side sleeping helps the brain clear metabolic waste more effectively by supporting the glymphatic system, which is similar to our lymphatic system, but in our central nervous system. This may help reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s Parkinson’s, and other brain diseases, according to animal studies. More research is needed on humans to expand on these concepts further.

Improves blood flow – Good circulation is crucial during pregnancy to allow blood to flow to the placenta. This is why it’s recommended that expecting women sleep in this position.

It should come as no surprise, therefore, that so many of us choose to use our own skin as a canvas.

I’m talking about tattoos, which have had a significant impact on many different civilizations throughout the world over the last few thousand years. Tattoos have historically been frowned upon in various communities, but they are now universally recognized as an expression of the owner’s individuality and spirit.

It varies from person to person, but tattoos are often meaningful to those who get them. Signs and symbols showing enthusiasm or interest are frequent, as are words or phrases that strike a chord.

Perhaps what makes this so remarkable is the fact that most tattoos have meaning. In other words, they can give a look into the owner’s thoughts, which might be clear or unclear.

It’s vital to realize that this doesn’t necessarily signify good things. There are those who boldly wear emblems despised by the majority of society. Others have tattoos that might serve as a clear war:ning indicator.

For example, many people believe that the three-dot tattoo is intimately related to the Russian jail system. You’ve probably seen or heard of people, many of whom have a criminal background, tattooing a tear on their faces, but you might be unaware with the three simple dots in a line that we’re talking about that.

I was, in any case. I decided to post the message so that if you ever encounter someone with this sort of tattoo, you know what it may imply.

In truth, the three-dot tattoo is more often associated with the Russian prison system, where it is used to identify major offenders. Each dot represents ten years of incarceration, thus a person with three dots might have served up to thirty years behind bars.

The home of the bloodiest battle in the American Civil War is Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Because so many thousands of American men were murdered during the battle, the place is considered to be haunted to this day. The location is also home to where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address, which we will print in full later in this article.

Over the more than one hundred fifty years since the Battle of Gettysburg left thousands dead in the ditches, the location of the battle has been a notably haunted location. The battle marked Confederate General Robert E. Lee’s final invasion of the civilized North, where he was turned back to Union troops.

In the video included below, Greg Yuelling of New Jersey believes he has captured a ghost sighting for the ages. He was driving through the battleground during the night, the sight of which is now a national park, and he believes he has captured evidence of ghosts haunting the location from his footage on September 2, 2022.

Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered on November 19, 1863:

“Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Eva Longoria, renowned for her role in Desperate Housewives, has revealed her decision to spend most of her time outside the United States. In a candid interview with Marie Claire, Longoria shared that she now splits her time between Spain and Mexico when she isn’t working in Hollywood. While her life abroad isn’t a new chapter, her reasons for prioritizing time away from the U.S. have evolved.

Describing the current state of the country as “a scary place,” Longoria reflected on the shifts she’s observed over recent years. She mentioned how the political climate, particularly after Donald Trump’s presidency, influenced her perspective. “If he keeps his promises, it’s going to be a scary place,” she said, noting how these concerns prompted her to rethink her future.

Longoria is no stranger to activism. She spent much of the 2020 election cycle campaigning for now-Vice President Kamala Harris and even joined forces with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Her efforts focused on mobilizing women and Latino communities to make their voices heard. Despite her physical distance from the U.S., Longoria says, “I would like to think our fight continues.”

A man arrives home early from work one afternoon to find his wife sprawled out on the bed, gasping and panting. “What are you doing?” he asks.“Err,” she stutters. “I… um… I think I’m having a heart attack!” “Oh,” exclaims the gullible husband, “quick, I’ll call an ambulance!” He rushes downstairs, grabs the phone, and starts dialing 911. Suddenly, his son Johnny appears, sobbing his little heart out. “What’s wrong, son?” the father asks….

An 11-year-old girl is now the youngest mother in UK history, giving birth earlier this month without her family knowing she was pregnant, reports *The Sun*. Both mother and baby are healthy.

Social services are investigating how the pregnancy went unnoticed. “It has come as a big shock. She’s now being surrounded by expert help. The main thing is that she and the baby are OK,” a source said.

The previous record was held by Tressa Middleton, who gave birth at 12 in 2006. In 2014, the UK’s youngest parents were a 12-year-old mother and 13-year-old father.
