Even though we're in a new year, our daily routine and its accompanying COVID-19 restrictions may seem repetitive. If we're not careful, monotony can lead to depression and all its unpleasant knock-on effects. But according to HuffPost, psychologists say there are ways to deal with boredom. First, plan fun things you can do, even if you're in lockdown, like reading books or painting a wall. Second, write down something you noticed that's blessedly different, like a growing flower, or melting snow. Finally, if you are grieving, acknowledge it. Reach out for the support you need, and don't give up.
US presidential elections can be very tight. In 2000, for example, it took the Supreme Court to decide between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush. But there are other ways to pick a winner in a tied US election. Take, for instance, the 1994 House of Representatives race in Wyoming. The governor broke the tie by pulling a Ping-Pong ball adorned with the name of the winner out of a cowboy hat. In the Silver State of Nevada, they settle ties by drawing cards—high card wins, naturally. This last happened in 2011, when neither frugal candidate in a North Las Vegas city council primary would pay $600 for a recount!

Barbara: This is the only thing we can do (for my mother) on Mother’s Day, right? - to see her from afar and let her meet her granddaughter, to give her a kiss from a distance – until the day that we can be together again (03:07-03:21).2.) Barbara: I think it has been more than a month and a half, and this is the longest time that I haven’t seen her (03:22-03:28).3.) Barbara: It is a great sadness because you want to be there, hug her and share with her and I can’t. But I know that she is taken care of and that she is fine (03:29-03:41).4.) Barbara: (The situation) is very sad, but that at the same time I feel happy that I am able to see her. You know what I mean? Because there are people who have relatives in other countries and cannot see them at all. At least here I see her – a little bit away, but I see her (03:42-03:57).5.) Barbara: I think we all have to have hope, although this is a very hard thing that we are going through. But we all need to have hope. In a few months I will be able to be with her (03:57-04:10).6.) Ricardo: On one can get off their vehicles. They can only see their relatives from afar. This gives them opportunity to send a message to the residents (at the nursing home) and the residents to them. (04:10-04:22).7.) Ricardo: All the security measures are being taken. All our employees are wearing masks. We do evaluations at the entry point – asking them a few questions, checking their temperature and disinfecting their belongings (04:23-04:37). 8.) Ricardo: It is very hard, but at the same time we have had contact with families through different platforms and social networks such as WhatsApp and FaceTime. In this way, we can maintain the contacts between residents and their relatives (04:37-END).
