Some states have embraced the sales tax holiday with a wide range of categories.
 — Your state may be celebrating a holiday soon, and you may not even know about it. In the coming weeks, states across the US and Puerto Rico will feature a sales-tax-free period so you can save some money while shopping.
Each state has different days that it has designated as tax-free, and each has its own set of categories, along with limits for them.

Most states have clearly targeted the back-to-school crowd, as clothing, computers and school supplies are most commonly found among the categories. Most categories generally have a per-item limit, but that too varies by state.
Some states have embraced the sales tax holiday with a wide range of categories, while others are doing the bare minimum by offering only items such as Energy Star products.
Of course, if you live in Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire or Oregon, none of this applies to you, as those states do not have sales tax.
So, if you missed out on Amazon Prime Day, check the list below or check an online chartto see when and how you can save.

South Korea holds live fire drills

South Korea holds live-fire drills that simulate destroying North Korea's leadership "The reason they want it, I think, is they want to be able to either respond to North Korean provocation or they want North Korea to be aware that they have the capability to respond if North Korea goes too far," said Schuster, now a Hawaii Pacific University professor. "To an extent it's as much a political as an operational development that's important to South Korean self-confidence." Moon has sought to be "more accommodating" to North Korea than his predecessor and looked for nonmilitary ways to resolve the situation, Schuster said, but the North's recent actions have undermined public confidence in his policies. They have also alarmed South Korea's allies in the region and around the world. The United States responded this week to a series of missiles launches by North Korea -- one of them over Japan -- by staging a mock...

Swae Lee Sleeps With His Jewelry On

Swae Lee Sleeps With His Jewelry On CreditCreditAkram Shah for The New York Times Swae Lee , half of the hip-hop duo  Rae Sremmurd , has been stepping out on his own. After teaming with such disparate artists as French Montana (“ Unforgettable ”), Post Malone (“ Sunflower ”) and Madonna (“ Crave ”), he is set to release his second solo album. He has also been honing a signature style, beyond his mop-top dreads and elaborate tattoos. Over a late lunch of French toast with maple syrup at the Public hotel in Lower Manhattan, he shared some fashion favorites. My favorite top is a button-down, for sure. It’s got to fit so clean. Sometimes it can be oversize and I love that, too. I like a light material, one that feels silky. I like both plain and patterned, but if it’s a dope pattern, it’ll beat plain any day. I like ones by Dolce & Gabbana and AllSaints. I also have Versace ones. I really just found out about  Asos , and now I’m going crazy on there.  ...

Spanish Pork Skewers for a healthy country

Cooking Spanish Pork Skewers Skunty empire  For casual entertaining, the tapas experience translates well to the small home kitchen. One delicious hot tapas classic easily made at home is called pinchos Morunos, or Moorish skewers, essentially small kebabs of pork marinated in Arabic (Moorish) spices and grilled, usually on a hot steel plancha. Because most Muslim Arabs wouldn’t eat pork, one presumes the original dish was lamb. It’s anyone’s guess how it evolved into this ubiquitous tapa selection in Christian Spain. Nevertheless, now it means pork seasoned with garlic, cumin, coriander, pimentón and sometimes oregano. Once skewered, they need only about 5 minutes on a hot griddle Recipe to cook pork skewers 1 ½   pounds pork tenderloin, in half-inch slices   Salt   pepper 2   teaspoons cumin seeds, lightly toasted and ground 2   teaspoons coriander seeds, lightly toasted and ground ½   teaspoon pimentón, sweet or hot ½   teaspoon dried oregano 2...
