Letter from the President on Strike Against Iran

Dear Mr. Speaker: On the night of June 21, 2025, at my direction, United States forces conducted a precision strike against three nuclear facilities in Iran used by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its nuclear weapons development program. The strike was taken to advance vital United States national interests, and in collective self-defense of our ally, Israel, by eliminating Iran’s nuclear program. The strike was limited in scope and purpose. The United States discretely targeted three Iranian nuclear facilities. Iranian troops and other military facilities were not targeted. No United States ground forces were used in the strike, and the mission was planned and executed in a manner designed to minimize casualties, deter future attacks, and limit the risk of escalation. I directed this military action consistent with my responsibility to protect United States citizens both at home and abroad as well as in furtherance of... Read more →

7 Common Mistakes Retailers Make When Selling Self Tan Products

Selling self tan products might seem straightforward, but it’s easy to make a few wrong moves that impact sales and customer trust. If you're managing a retail business, especially in beauty or skincare, it's important to pay attention to how these products are marketed, explained, and displayed. This article will share the common mistakes to keep sales moving and build loyalty with your product line. 1. Ignoring Skin Tone Variations If you're stocking just one or two shades, you're likely missing out on a big chunk of your customer base. When your selection doesn’t reflect those differences, the product line isn’t inclusive. Instead, offer a range and educate shoppers about undertones, depth levels, and formulas suited for different skin needs. When guiding buyers based on their skin type, that builds confidence and leads to fewer returns. 2. Skipping Product Education Take note that if you’re just handing over a bottle... Read more →

Included in the list of 19 is the City of Gloucester City in the 5th spot.

Over the past 15 years, the Zillow Home Value Index has indicated that these 19 towns are showing critical warning signs reminiscent of previous market declines: significant overvaluation, noticeable volatility, and a concerning loss of upward momentum.
