It’s the primary sanctuary in the home you’re planning with your builder. It’s the place where you can rest, recharge, take a bath and get away from commotion. It’s where you might read, write in a journal or enjoy your own taste in music, podcasts or movies.Time to plan a primary suite that both expresses the real you and makes you feel truly at ease. Also called the owner’s suite, this haven might exist on the main level or upstairs.Wherever the owner’s suite is, it’s wise to get involved in the details before construction begins.In their mission to keep home energy use and costs down by regulating indoor temperatures, California builders already install high-quality, high-density insulation.That insulation, along with low-emissive windows and doors with tight door seals, also helps keep out exterior noise.

Ataques a Trump y polémicas propuestas antimigratorias: así fue el segundo debate republicano

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:53:50 GMT

Los rivales de Donald Trump lo atacaron en reiteradas oportunidades el miércoles durante el segundo debate entre aspirantes a la nominación presidencial del Partido Republicano, en el que arremetieron contra el expresidente por ausentarse del evento mientras tratan de reducir la ventaja que éste lleva de cara a las elecciones primarias.Trump, en cambio, viajó a Michigan en un intento de sacar provecho a la huelga del sindicato United Auto Workers y de atraer a los obreros sindicalizados en un estado crucial que podría ayudar a decidir la elección general. Sus competidores, mientras tanto, se negaron a participar en un juego propuesto por los moderadores en la Biblioteca Ronald Reagan al estilo de los reality show, eligiendo a quién descartarían de la pugna o votarían “fuera de la isla”.El tono del debate estuvo muy alejado de una campaña marcada por los ataques de Trump contra sus rivales y las instituciones democráticas, así como por sus quejas por una serie de procesos penal...

El gobernador de Florida, Ron DeSantis, dijo que estaba “desaparecido en combate”. El exgobernador de Nueva Jersey Chris Christie llamó al expresidente “Pato Donald” y dijo que &...
