To relieve my stress, the first thing I'll probably do is just take a walk. I think that taking a walk is a nice way to just kind of stop your brain from thinking too much and to kind of review thoughts. And also where you walk is important, so sometimes I'll want to take a walk maybe in downtown in the city when it's nighttime, and just sort of people-watch and look around me and enjoy that... the view. Other times, I think it's more valuable to take a wake in nature. So somewhere like a part or if you have access to a beach or a forest.

Residents and visitors to Washington D.C. have been waiting in long lines at the U.S. Botanic Garden conservatory to see a rare blooming flower known as the corpse flower, which is said to smell very bad when it starts to blossom.It is first bloom of this particular plant, which is six years old. VOA asked visitors why they were willing to wait in line so long just to see a huge plant that smell terrible. "I live not too far from here, and somehow the idea of seeing a giant flower that smells like rotting flesh close to my house seemed like a good idea to do after work."
