Through the eyes of Suzy...

How many of those New Years Resolutions lists do you have? And how many of them did you keep? Probably not many. It's okay! Most people don't keep up with them for one whole year (some even just forget about them).

This year, to make this different, I am going to share with you three tips that I heard from a friend who always seems to be on top of her resolutions list.

Number one, write down realistic, short-term goals. Instead of writing “I'm going to lose all my weight and look good in my business dress,” write down something like “I'm going to get a membership at the gym and work out x-number of times a week. As a reward, I will give myself x-reward.” This is much easier to carry out and stick to throughout the whole year!

Number two, instead of writing about a change in your personality, research activities or groups you can join to gradually help make that change. “I'm going to be more outgoing” won't help much, but if you write “I'm going to join the local debate club or I'm going to join a local sports team,” you are more likely to be motivated to carry out your year goal.

Number three, record your challenges. For the weight loss challenge, take pictures, make videos, do something that will make you remember and keep you motivated throughout the year. For the personality one, again, take videos or pictures and make an album out of it! Or simply make an Instagram account so you can easily access them!

 

 No matter what you do, the important thing is to make the resolutions list realistic and simplistic.

    Russia on Tuesday test-fired a new intercontinental ballistic missile as part of efforts to modernize the country's nuclear forces, a launch hailed by President Vladimir Putin just days after his claim that the fighting in Ukraine is nearing an end.

    Putin said that the nuclear-armed Sarmat missile would enter combat service at the end of the year. It was built to replace the aging Soviet-built Voyevoda.

    "This is the most powerful missile in the world," Putin declared, claiming that the combined power of the Sarmat's individually targeted warheads is more than four times higher than that of any Western counterpart.

    The Russian leader has repeatedly brandished the nuclear sword after sending troops into Ukraine in February 2022 to try to deter the West from ramping up support for Ukraine.

    Russia New Missile

    After overseeing a military parade on Red Square on Saturday commemorating the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II, which for the first time in nearly two decades didn't include heavy weapons, Putin declared the conflict in Ukraine is coming to an end.

    Since coming to power in 2000, Putin has overseen efforts to upgrade the Soviet-built components of the Russian nuclear triad - deploying hundreds of new, land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, commissioning new nuclear submarines and modernizing nuclear-capable bombers.

    Russia's effort to revamp its nuclear forces pushed the United States to launch a costly modernization of its arsenal.

    Nuclear arms pact expired
    The last remaining nuclear arms pact between Russia and the U.S. expired in February, leaving no caps on the world's two largest atomic arsenals for the first time in more than a half-century and fueling fears of an unconstrained nuclear arms race.

    That same month, the U.S. and Russia agreed to reestablish formal, high-level military communications that were suspended in late 2021, prior to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

    The Sarmat — designated "Satan II" by NATO — is meant to replace about 40 Soviet-built Voyevoda missiles. Its development began in 2011 and before now, the missile had only one known successful test and reportedly suffered a massive explosion during an abortive test in 2024. A satellite image analyzed by CBS News at the time showed a large crater and remnants of a possible explosion on a launchpad at Plesetsk Cosmodrome in northern Russia.

    The Sarmat is classified as a "heavy" ICBM and is capable of carrying up to 10 tons in payload, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Missile Defense Project.

    Water service has now been restored to the historic mountain city of Victor, Colorado, after nearly a week of outages tied to catastrophic failures in the city's aging water system.

    City officials confirmed Tuesday afternoon that water had been successfully recharged into Victor's system after emergency repairs and line flushing efforts. However, residents are still under a boil water order while crews continue testing and monitoring for additional failures.

    For residents and businesses, the return of running water marks the end of a brutal stretch that began Thursday when crews attempting to replace a water main removed dirt underneath the line, which was the only thing supporting the line. That started a long line of attempts to fix it, then adapt to new issues each attempted fix brought.

    "During that time, we found another main failure," said City Administrator Bobby Tech. "Unfortunately, as we were going through this, we realized there are additional failures and those failures begin to compound."

    According to the city, Victor lost an estimated 500,000 to 600,000 gallons of water during the crisis, roughly 15 times the city's normal daily usage of 30,000 to 40,000 gallons. The outage impacted around 420 water taps serving roughly 300-350 homes.

    Tech explained Victor's water infrastructure dates back decades, and in some places, more than a century.

    "Victor was a boomtown in the 1890s and early 1900s," Tech said. "So we're still finding sometimes clay and wooden pipes."

    The crisis escalated Sunday when the city declared a local emergency and brought in additional crews and resources from across Colorado. Officials say that when pressure was restored to the system, more weak points in the old infrastructure began to fail.
