If the other person accepts your offer to dance, choose whatever open spot on the floor is available. If someone declines your offer to dance, don’t push as to why. Simply say “Okay” or “No problem” and move on. There may be multiple reasons why that person does not want to dance, and plenty of other people are available. If you’re a girl, it’s accepted practice for girls to ask guys to dance with them....

Take in a professional show to see professionals at work, or even visit a local college that offers dance. Often, the schools will have showcases that are open to the public. Be sure to include plenty of protein in your diet. In addition, feed your body fruits and vegetables so it has enough vitamins to be strong. Activities like swimming, skiing, using an elliptical, and biking provide great overall workouts that will help you achieve a stronger body....

Plus, if you avoid the problem too long, you may find that you start having bursts of anger at your partner, which puts a strain on your relationship. For example, you could say, “I’d like to have a discussion about the way we argue, particularly the way I feel like I always end up being in the wrong. When’s a good time for you?” If your situation differs a bit, you could say something like, “I’d like to have a discussion with you about how I feel my opinion is often not valued....

Ask friends involved in drama if there is anything you can do to help. When talking to them, try to identify the problem and see if there is a larger issue going on. Talking is the only way to find out if someone is in an abusive relationship or is suffering from some other difficulties in their life. Explain that “talking it over” with a non-interested third party might help solve the problem....

The best part of this policy is that it’s also a subtle way of punishing someone for acting fake. When they act this way, they don’t get the privilege of hanging out with you. A good rule of thumb is simply to avoid talking to this person until s/he talks to you first or until you have to for some other reason. Act polite but a little distant towards this person — a little like how you’d talk to someone you’ve never met before....

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends staying home for at least 24 hours after a fever this high is gone. You will know it is truly gone when you take your temperature and get a lower reading after having discontinued fever-reducing medicines such as aspirin, Tylenol (acetaminophen), or Advil or Motrin (ibuprofen). Influenza Symptoms The CDC also recommends staying home if you have other symptoms that point towards influenza or you have a confirmed case of the flu....

In the skit — which was presented as a running gag — Lynch and Sherman, played by the comedians, stand at a podium during a joint press conference. Sherman yells to the media about Oscar nominations for movies such as “Selma” and “The Lego Movie.” MORE: Lynch will grab crotch for charity | Conan plays Mortal Kombat X with Lynch and Gronk Lynch, meanwhile, could only utter the phrase “biscuits and gravy” — in line with the real Seattle running back who spent an entire postgame in real life saying “I am thankful....

The Tuzla story, which has been buzzing under the radar for some time, now threatens to cause real problems for the New York senator. YouTube mashups juxtaposing Clinton’s recounting of the dangers she faced with newsreels of her kissing a Bosnian child during a photo-op have become hits. The Washington Post reported that one such video had received more than 100,000 views. After weeks of keeping Sen. Barack Obama on the defensive over his association with the Rev....

This fundamentally changes what Clinton was saying from a head scratcher to a head nodder. Clinton is right: Russia is set to interfere in the 2020 elections, and just as we saw with their blind defense of Donald Trump, Republicans are happy to let it happen. Agents are groomed and directed, while assets are used—often unwittingly. This slight distinction might seem like simple wordplay. However, in the world of espionage, these terms are significantly different....

To prove it, she squeezed in an appearance with David Letterman on Wednesday, the first show the comedian has taped since the writers’ strike began. But beneath the smooth surface of a campaign now in its final hours, there is worry among Clinton’s top advisers that a poor finish in Iowa could cause her once-commanding nationwide lead among Democrats to evaporate. A poll released New Year’s Day by The Des Moines Register showed Barack Obama leading in Iowa by 32 percent, with Clinton and John Edwards virtually tied for second at 25 and 24 percent....

Now that bicoastal blood is no longer being shed, Simmons and other organizers want the hip-hop community to begin self-policing in the face of persistent criticism about lewd and misogynistic lyrics, gangsterism and over-the-top materialism. And with the entertainment industry facing continuing heat from Washington about marketing practices, the gathering will aim to seize the initiative with a detailed “code of marketing” for hip-hop music. The summit also will challenge the hip-hop music business to “elevate the art form” and to acknowledge its responsibility and accountability for the music’s broader social, political and economic consequences, Simmons says....

Gore is obviously not without ambition to set things right: he appears to want to save the entire planet single-handedly. “Without realizing it, we have begun to wage war on the earth itself,” he said in his Nobel acceptance speech. “It is time to make peace with the planet.” After receiving his prize, Gore flew onto Bali, where the U.S. government this week succeeded in single-handedly blocking a proposal that called on industrialized nations to cut greenhouse-gas emissions by 25 percent to 40 percent by 2020....

Smith, with an air of wounded righteousness, pushes the issue. ““Did you ever notice,’’ he says, ““that they always find the most inarticulate black person to talk on the news?’’ Suddenly he slips into a character: his shoulders slump, his eyelids flop and he gesticulates vaguely. "” “Yeah, um, I was over at Thelma and them’s when the dude had shooted. And, uh, Johnny B. and Ree-Ree, they had came out, and they seen him shoot, bam, bam, bam!...

What can you say about such a man, beyond these raw facts? Milosevic is one of those rare abstractions, whose objective biography means almost nothing. He is our postmodern Eichmann, today’s banality of evil. It means little to note that he was born in 1941, in the gritty Serbian industrial town of Pozarevac, or to chart his rise through the Communist Party. Like Hitler, his reality is as a force, a catalyst for recondite yearnings within the hearts of his people that he could voice and manipulate....

Two Germans and one British man have been arrested under suspicion of leading an international arms ring that sold guns to drug traffickers, the Civil Guard said in a statement on Tuesday. A total of 160 firearms, including submachine guns and 30 assault rifles, as well as 10,000 bullets and a grenade were uncovered in the raid across three locations in Andalusia, southern Spain. Photos uploaded by the force show rooms full of Third Reich artefacts, including portraits of Hitler, Nazi military uniforms, emblems and medals....

As with all pandemics, some groups are hit harder than others, and, not only is the number of new cases rising but so, too, are the odds of getting HIV if you’re in that group. Understanding the risks—where HIV is more common and less common—can help you navigate the risk and reduce the odds. Calculating HIV Risk When epidemiologists refer to the scale of the HIV pandemic, they not only describe it by the actual number of infections but also by its incidence (number of new cases) and prevalence (proportion of people affected)....
