NPR reports that the metaphorical measure
of challenges facing humanity has now moved
closer to widespread calamity than ever before.
According to the scientific body,
the decision was made "largely though not
exclusively" to Russia's war in Ukraine.
Each January, the group
evaluates the state of the world
and updates the clock accordingly.
In 2020, the clock was set to 100 seconds to
midnight and was the first time the clock
was counted in seconds rather than minutes.
At the time, the scientific group, warned that humanity was, "at doom's doorstep.".
In 2021 and 2022, the clock remained at, 100 seconds to midnight.
However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the global
ramifications of its aggression have inched humanity
ten metaphorical seconds closer to annhilation.
The Doomsday Clock is sounding an
alarm for the whole of humanity.
We are
on the brink of a precipice.
But our leaders
are not acting at sufficient speed or scale
to secure a peaceful and livable planet, Science and security board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, via NPR.

has been connected with a range of health concerns that
include obesity, hypertension, cancer and premature death.

Lose Gracefully , Could Change Your Life.
None of us want to lose, .

sore losers is an unwillingness to
"take ownership of their own fallibility.".
To avoid being a sore loser, practice the core components of self-compassion, mindfulness, human commonality and self-kindness.
Perspective.
After a loss, it's difficult to separate
your bruised ego from reality.
Experts say before you start
criticizing yourself, pause and consider this:
When was the last time you
noticed someone else's mistake?.
I like to remind my clients,
and sometimes myself,
that probably about 90 percent
of everything everybody does is about them and not about us. , Dr. Adia Gooden, licensed clinical psychologist, via NPR.
People are not talking
for days and being like,
Oh my gosh, can you believe they had a typo on slide three? , Dr. Adia Gooden, licensed clinical psychologist, via NPR.
We All Lose,
That's Okay.
Remember losing is often unavoidable.
Approach the situation
with honesty and humility.
Experts say losing is "an experience
that is as universal as it gets." .
Don't let an "L" hold you back from greatness.
The great losers are the people who are able to recognize that a loss is
just one step in a process. , Sam Weinman, author and sports journalist, via NPR

Taco Bell Files Petition , to End ‘Taco Tuesday’ Trademark.
Smaller restaurant chain Taco John's trademarked "Taco Tuesday" in 1989, NPR reports. .
On May 16, Taco Bell petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to reverse the trademark so that it can use the phrase without legal ramifications.
The Registration potentially
subjects Taco Bell and anyone else who wants to share tacos with the world to the possibility of legal action or angry letters if they say 'Taco Tuesday' without express permission from Registrant – simply for pursuing happiness on a Tuesday, Taco Bell, via petition.
This violates an American ideal: 'the pursuit of happiness.', Taco Bell, via petition.
Nobody should have exclusive
rights in a common phrase. Can you imagine if we weren't allowed to say 'what's up' or 'brunch?' Chaos, Taco Bell, via petition.
Jim Creel, Taco John's CEO, issued a statement.
I'd like to thank our worthy
competitors at Taco Bell for reminding everyone that Taco Tuesday is best celebrated at Taco John's, Jim Creel, Taco John's CEO, via statement.
When it comes right
down to it, we're lovers, not fighters, at Taco John's. , Jim Creel, Taco John's CEO, via statement.
But when a big, bad bully
threatens to take away the mark our forefathers originated so many decades ago, well, that just rings hollow to us. If 'living más' means filling the pockets of Taco Bell's army of lawyers, we're not interested, Jim Creel, Taco John's CEO, via statement.
NPR reports that Taco John's "has about 400 locations
in 23 states," while Taco Bell has over 7,200 U.S.
locations and "1,000 restaurants across 30 countries."

The Office for National Statistics said factors contributing to relatively high levels of immigration over the past 18 months include people coming to the UK from non-EU countries for work, study, and for humanitarian purposes, including those arriving from Ukraine and Hong Kong.

The Meaning, Behind May Day.
May 1, known as May Day, is an official
holiday in 66 countries across the world.
May Day originated as an ancient pagan
celebration of spring, known as “Beltane.".
It took on a different meaning in the
19th century when it became connected
to the labor rights movement.
On May 1, 1886, more than 300,000 workers
in the U.S. went on strike in response to
growing inhumane working conditions.
This culminated in the Haymarket Riot of Chicago, where police and protestors clashed,
resulting in a national wave of controversy.
This event widely impacted labor
movements around the world and is
now often a day of protest for labor unions.
However, some countries still recognize
the original traditions of May Day and
celebrate with festivities and various customs.
A main custom is the maypole dance, which originated as a fertility ritual and involves dancing around a pole with colorful streamers and ribbons
