If you have trouble staying in the moment, you can try a mindfulness technique. For instance, while you’re in the shower, try really paying attention to what you’re doing. Don’t let your mind wander to what’s going on later in the day; instead, pay attention to how the soap feels on your skin, the way the hot water relaxes your muscles, and the scent of soap in the air. Focus your attention on the sensations you’re feeling, not what’s going through your head....

Don’t feel obligated to commit to something on the spot. Say, “Can I have a moment to think this decision over and get back to you?” If someone is being pushy, be just as resolute at saying no. Say, “I know you won’t give up easily, but I am not going to change my mind. ” Know that people ask you for favors or to do projects because they believe in you....

Though it can be tempting to point out how expensive your handbag, wine, or painting are, it’s just not worth it. The snob can never be out-snobbed, and you’ll only be making yourself look bad while alienating the non-snobs around you in the process. If the snob insists on acting like you don’t exist, you can even cheerily say, “Hi!” followed by the snob’s name when he walks by. This will catch him off guard — and hey, it may make you chuckle....
Mike Huckabee may not be winning–but at least his staff is having a good time. In fact, the bus or plane feels more like a college road trip than a presidential campaign. Early in the primary season, Huck’s troops–most of them Southern twentysomethings only a year or two out of college–developed a game called aisle surfing, where upon takeoff one person crouches on a cafeteria tray at the front of the cabin and rides down the center aisle as the plane angles into the sky....

In the closely divided new Senate, the First Lady–the first presidential spouse to win elective office–will be more of a lightning rod than ever. With her hard-earned triumph over Rep. Rick Lazio, Mrs. Clinton established herself as a political figure in her own right, a legitimate successor to Daniel Patrick Moynihan. On election night, standing in front of her husband and her daughter, the First Lady told supporters, “We started this great effort on a sunny July morning in Pindars Corner on Pat and Liz Moynihan’s beautiful farm, and 62 counties, 16 months, three debates, two opponents and six black pantsuits later, because of you, we are here....
As a boy, I read about animals and drew pictures of them. I could never get enough of watching animals, particularly the wild ones in the woods behind my Aunt Harriet’s house in Connecticut. The family dogs were, well, family. My girl Brandy—half Labrador, half golden retriever—would chase a tennis ball until my arm gave out, or until dinner was called. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that harming animals was wrong....
Since the virus was identified in 1984, thanks to the tireless efforts of researchers and campaigners, HIV has gone from a mysterious killer to a condition which can easily be stopped from spreading with a few pills.

Trump, facing impeachment by the House over the Ukraine-Biden affair, tweeted comments made on Fox News by the evangelical pastor Robert Jeffress that the president’s removal “will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal.” Heather Cox Richardson, a history professor at Boston College who is an expert in 19th century America, laid out on Twitter what she described as the “eerily similar” parallels after Trump’s controversial civil war tweets....
With the second largest population following California, Texas holds a total of 38 electoral votes. The southwestern state has historically been solidly Republican and hasn’t backed a Democratic candidate in a presidential election since 1976. A change in demographics and growing urban centers in Texas have led analysts to describe the state as “purple,” predicting that the state could vote Democratic. Cook Political Report editor Amy Walter stated there has been a surge in early voting in the state....
Australia’s top tier is the first elite division to implement the system, with Melbourne City and Adelaide United involved in a historic fixture on Friday. WATCH: Balotelli’s airport slide There was no need for outside interference in that contest, but Wellington Phoenix and Sydney FC have broken new ground. In the 70th minute of their encounter, a handball shout was waved away by the match officials. The VAR system was, however, to reverse that call and Sydney opened the scoring from the penalty spot through Brazilian forward Bobo....
“To different degrees, most of the great epidemics of the past appear to have been incubators of social unrest,” Massimo Morelli, professor of political science at Bocconi University, and Roberto Censolo, associate professor in the department of economics and management at Italy’s University of Ferrara, wrote in the journal Peace Economics, Peace Science and Public Policy. The pair reviewed evidence on protests and unrest around the time of 57 epidemics between the Black Death in the 1300s and the Spanish Flu pandemic of 1918, finding only four occasions where revolts were not clearly connected with the respective outbreaks....
