Stay tuned to see if your word helped us write today`s show. I`m Coy Wire. This is CNN 10.

Today`s headline is from Iowa were former president Donald Trump celebrated a landslide win in the state`s caucuses. The first Republican presidential

nominating contest of the election year. CNN`s Julia Benbrook explains why these results indicate Donald Trump is in a strong position to be the Republican nominee for president once again in 2024.
 

 Trump made it clear to his supporters that he didn`t just want to win. 

Nikki Haley battled it out in the race for second place.

DeSantis went all in on Iowa, visiting all 99 counties and receiving a rare endorsement from the state`s governor. DeSantis who grabbed the second-place finish is promising his voters.

 We`ve got our ticket punched out of Iowa.

 Haley finishing in third in the Hawkeye State has been on an upward trajectory in New Hampshire where voters head to the polls next week.

Now, let`s take a step back to get a better sense of where we are in this process of finding the next U.S. President. 

These primaries and caucuses all lead up to this summer`s Republican and Democratic conventions where parties finalize their nominee for the general election, which takes place November 5th. That is when voters will finally choose the next American president.

Let`s take another look at the candidates. After the Iowa caucuses, only three contenders remain for the Republican nomination, former president

Donald Trump, the clear front runner, U.S. military veteran and current Governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, and Nikki Haley, a former U.N. Ambassador and Governor of South Carolina.

As for the Democrats, 

There are three notable independent bids as well.

Long way to go in this election process.

Which country has the most volcanoes in the world?


erupting volcano. This is the second time in a month that molten lava has destroyed parts of nearby towns. 

Some are worried that the Iceland they know and love will never be the same

 The earth is on fire in Iceland. Again for the second time in a month, Iceland`s Fagradalsfjall volcano is threatening the small fishing village of Grindavik in the Southwest of the country. A webcam set up by Iceland`s Public Broadcaster, RUV showed a stream of lava flowing into Grindavik with the burning buildings, just meters away from houses.

So far, several homes have been consumed by scorching lava flowing out of two new fissures from the latest eruption forcing national police to order evacuations.

It`s basically as bad as can possibly get.


NADEAU: After the volcano last erupted on December 18th, authorities built walls to divert the lava from the town. So far, the walls are holding the lava back from all, but the houses on the outskirts of town. Authorities have no idea how long mother nature`s fury will last or how much more damage this tiny village will endure.

WIRE: Today`s story, getting a 10 out of 10, you and your goals, whether you set a new year`s resolution that you`re grinding on or one that`s gone a bit a skew, or maybe you`re honing in on a plan to achieve something right now. 

Katy Milkman, author of "How to Change" gives us a few science based tips to help us out, so we can all be successful and conjubilant.

 Whether you`re hoping to get in shape or learn a new skill or save more for retirement, or just get to bed on time. Science has proven that there are tools that can really help you immensely as you pursue those goals.
 

 So every Monday is a little miniature fresh start. The beginning of spring, the celebration

of a birthday is a fresh start. All of those fresh start moments give us this optimism about what we are capable of.

So most of us will choose a goal that`s very abstract and long-term, like I want to get in shape, or 
The next thing you need to do is actually break that down and figure out what`s the bite size piece you can do this week. And when and where are you going to be able to execute on that?

Research shows that when we think about how much time we`re going to commit each week to a goal, instead of thinking about how much time we`re going to commit over the course of a year, we`re roughly 10% more likely to actually make progress each week.

Research shows that if we don`t find it fun to pursue our goals, we won`t persist. We should look for a way to make it enjoyable. Maybe by pairing it with something else that we love, or even just pursuing it differently, going to a Zumba class instead of getting on a punishing workout machine.

And it`s important if the people around you also believe in you and boost your confidence rather than putting you down, that makes goal pursuit more fun.

When you want to quit something, though, it`s really different. In this case, you actually want to make it more costly to engage in whatever behavior it is, that`s bad for you. And so there`s a tool that is very counterintuitive called a "commitment device" that you can use, which means basically putting money on the line or forfeiting something else you value if you fail to achieve your goal.

There are websites like stickk.com and beeminder.com. They allow you to put money on the line and if you fail, you`re going to owe money to a charitable organization of your choice. Now, you`ve increased the price of your vice enough that you may actually make the decision that`s in your long-term best interest at a higher rate. In fact, science shows, this is very effective.
