BREAKING NEWS BRIEF How does a Florida man drown while hiding from police in a pool? Image Source: Pixabay A routine traffic stop ended with a 31-year-old Florida man drowning in his own above-ground pool, police say.    Over the weekend, Palm Bay officers tried to pull over the man, whose name has not been released, when he abandoned his vehicle and apparently ran home.   Eventually, officials found the man dead in his backyard pool. His body was stuck between the wall and the stairs. Authorities believe he was hiding from them and may have drowned as he waited for the perceived threat to pass.    "His head was above water," a spokesperson for the police department said. "He may have panicked… we really don't know at this point."   What do we know as the story develops and the investigation continues?

Consumer prices just posted their largest one-month jump in nearly 13 years, a fact that might tempt some to conclude that a white-hot U.S. economy is on the brink of runaway inflation.   But a spike in the June 2021 consumer price index reading may, in fact, be little cause for alarm. Markets, which have in recent months grown wary of rising prices and whether they will cause the Federal Reserve to act, appeared to keep their cool over inflation on Tuesday. Here's what's going on.

Image Source: Global News Donald Trump's last days in office were supposedly a lot worse than originally thought. According to new books that were released this week that detail the former President's last days in the White House, Trump displayed some pretty offensive behavior behind the scenes.     January of this year before Trump left office was defined as complete chaos by those who worked with Trump or had inside information. In one incident, Trump reportedly got in a shouting match with chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley regarding the White House's response to the many Black Lives Matter protests that turned destructive across the country.    In a more shocking incident, Trump was said to have called for the execution of whoever happened to leak that the President was taken to the White House bunker when Black Lives Matter protests took to the streets of Washington after George Floyd's death.    What other stunning details about Trump's last days as President do the new books reveal?

But the defense of the Holy City would require more crusades over the coming years, and none would be as successful as the first.

Although your pandemic and post-pandemic life can seem to squeeze the silliness out of your relationship, do you still find ways to share moments of laughter?   The quality of playfulness is relatively understudied in psychology as an attribute of adult personality or relationships. Yet, the well-known psychologist Erik Erikson gave initiative, or the ability to engage in imaginative play, a central place in his lifespan model of personality.   Emerging in the preschool years, the initiative allows the child to explore new activities just for fun. As the individual develops, imagination retains its role in personality, theoretically allowing adults to take a creative approach to life. Being playful allows you to bring joy, laughter, and positive emotions into your interactions with other people, building social solidarity. Of course, this doesn't mean that you tease your partner mercilessly, but that you can explore the more frivolous side of life with your partner, allowing you to ease tension for at least the short term so that you will be better able to tackle those daily stresses.
