In a time when Americans are more stressed than ever, the desire to find serenity and calm amongst the chaos is on the rise, according to a new study from Volvo and Harris Poll.
Seventy-five percent of Americans are seeking more ways to find calm amid increasing stress and are looking in surprising places to find it. In fact, more Americans report finding serenity on their daily drive (20%) than while doing yoga (14%).
Volvo sought to better understand how commuting and traffic drive stress levels amongst Americans, and what factors might help drivers decompress and find their own personal sanctuary on the road.
“Stress levels are undoubtedly rising, and now more than ever, Americans are looking ways to rebalance and relax, particularly while driving,” said Jim Nichols, product and technology communications manager for Volvo Car USA in a release. “The daily commute is often the only ‘me time’ people get and Volvo has long believed it is best to maximize that time in a way that makes sense for drivers and passengers.”

Today, May 3, marks World Press Freedom Day, a day set aside by the UN General Assembly to acknowledge the state of press freedom and celebrate its fundamental principles throughout the world. The theme of 2018's celebration is "Keeping Power in Check," thus underscoring the role of the fourth estate in holding the powerful accountable.
Furthermore, the day also honors the numerous journalists who have died in the line of duty. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 46 journalists were killed last year and more than half that number have been murdered so far in 2018. Just three days ago, nine journalists were killed in Kabul, Afghanistan; one of them was 29-year-old Ahmad Shah with the BBC Afghan Service.
Journalists in the U.S. have taken to social media to commemorate the lives of lost colleagues and champion press freedom. The New York Times took out a full-page ad in its paper urging the public to read more news outlets (besides the Times).

Despite the American media's latest efforts to boost readership, the relationship between the press and American public remains a fraught one, especially in the wake of the 2016 U.S. elections.
A May 2017 Harvard CAPS-Harris poll revealed that a majority of American voters across the ideological spectrum say the mainstream press is full of fake news. 65% of voters expressed that sentiment, including 80% of Republicans, 60% of independents and 53% of Democrats. The poll also showed the public's waning trust in the media as 84% of voters say it is hard to know what news to believe online.
As the media struggles to assert its First Amendment rights under an administration that has often branded it as "fake news" or an "enemy of the American people," it will have to do more to restore faith in its institutions and win over the American public.

By Megan O. Steintrager | Today |
If you were to picture a woman who just got her first tattoo, do you picture someone barely out of their teens or a 40-something with kids of her own? It might be time to at least add the latter to the picture.
The number of people with tattoos in the United States is on the rise: A 2015 Harris Poll found that about 29 percent of Americans had at least one tattoo, up from 21 percent in 2011. While the poll didn't address the age at which people got their first tattoo, the data indicates that people in every age group are getting more tattoos, and the number of women getting tattoos has risen faster than the number of men getting tattoo. So it stands to reason that some of those women are getting their first tattoo after the age of 40.
"I have noticed an increase in women getting tattooed later in life, past their 40s," said Julie Duncan, a tattoo artist at Lady Luck Tattoo in Phoenix, who recently gave 74-year-old Janice Graham her first tattoo. "I think it’s simply because we as a society are moving forward and removing a lot of the taboos surrounding tattoos," Duncan adds. "It’s honestly probably something they always wanted but were too worried about social norms and being judged to actually get. I think it’s great that a lot of those preconceived notions about tattooed people are falling away slowly. Everyone should feel free to be themselves, whether that involves tattoos or not."
Graham and other women who got their first tattoo after 40 told TODAY Style they're thrilled with their tattoos, using words like "euphoric" and "exhilarating" to describe the process and results. One thing none of them said they felt? Regret. That jibes with the Harris Poll, which says that the top-ranked reason people say they regret their tattoo is that they were too young when they got it.

May is Mental Health Awareness month and most of the time we are concentrating on the mental health of the adults around and teenagers in our lives. But mental health issues can start at a very young age and our young children also so signs of anxiety.
It's easy to write off your child's stomach ache or headaches as no big deal but they could be a sign they are anxious about something in their life.
A new Harris Poll found that 37% of parents are concerned about their child's mental health and think they may need some support.
Here are just a few of the things to look out for:

Here are just a few of the things to look out for:
- Picking at their lips or biting the inside of their cheek
- Not being able to sleep at a friend’s house
- Hiding
- Being quiet
- Nail biting
- Fidgeting
- Canceling plans
- Constantly watching the clock
- Not looking you in the eye when they talk

We may need to find more empathy for the business traveler—a new survey suggests these road warriors are more sensitive than we think.
In a survey of more than 1,300 business travelers by The Harris Poll, on behalf of Hyatt Place and Hyatt House, nearly half (48%) said they travel for work to get ahead and better support their family, versus 33% who said they were seeking praise or recognition. And 87% said that business trips help them be more empathetic to others.
That’s a fair distance from the ambitious, self-absorbed, lone-wolf business traveler stereotype we’re familiar with. Think of those depicted in novels like Up in the Air (2002), whose film adaption starred George Clooney as the emotionally stunted, peripatetic downsizer Ryan Bingham. He is accused of using work and a heavy travel schedule to spin “a cocoon of self-banishment.”
The knock on American business travelers, in particular, is that they’re uninterested in the lands and cultures they travel to. Indeed, when it comes to food, interactions with others, and so on, many prefer to play it safe.
