Kegel Exercises. Kegel exercises are a type of pelvic floor muscle exercise that work to strengthen the muscles that hold urine in the bladder. Because urinary retention can be caused by muscle weakness, Kegel exercises may be beneficial in reinforcing the work of these muscles.
The DC Republican Party is the official Republican Party organization of the District of Columbia and a part of the Republican National Committee. The Republican Party of the District of Columbia is the second oldest state level Republican Party. Only the Republican Party of Wisconsin is older.
The party splintered in 1824 into the Jacksonian movement (which became the Democratic Party in 1828) and the short-lived National Republican Party (later succeeded by the Whig Party). The term Democratic-Republican is used especially by modern political scientists for the first Republican Party (as opposed to the modern Republican Party founded in 1854). It is also known as the Jeffersonian Republicans.
