Q. I’ve been in my career for about 20 years, and the older I get, the crankier I get. Even little things will set me ruminating for hours. I’ve tried just shifting my attention, but my thoughts go right back to what upsets me. Is there any way to work with anger that doesn’t leave you drained at the end of the day?

You are just an answer away from understanding who you are. Most people don’t realize who they are; some don’t realize that they have the power, ability and strength to become anything. Your vision is right at the door. Sometimes people go through life by trial and error.

By Samantha Ofole-Prince

Within the first five minutes of this action-comedy, a guy is arrested and humped on, and it’s that moment that tells you exactly where you’ll be during the movie’s next hundred-plus minutes: toddling back and forth between crude and crass humor with numerous references to the male body parts.

When you or a family member needs medical attention, the goal should always be to get the very best you can find. Ideally that means searching out a physician or facility that specializes in the condition you’re dealing with. But where to begin?

Some start with references from a family doctor, or recommendations from friends or co-workers. These are helpful but often very limited. Others head to the Internet for information, which can result in the opposite problem-way too much information. It can be overwhelming to try and navigate your way through dozens, or even hundreds, of medical websites.

What you need is a resource that compares hospitals, physicians and other medical service providers, objectively assessing their effectiveness and reliability. And that’s just what you get from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Department.
