Fix your mind to the moment that "Will & Grace" premièred, in September, 1998, and it can seem antediluvian. Ellen DeGeneres and her sitcom alter ego had come out of the closet, to fanfare and condemnation, only a year and a half earlier.
Nathan Lane had starred in "The Birdcage" but hadn't yet come out in real life. And then onto network television splashed a show about out-and-proud Manhattanites and the women who love them. Surely this was groundbreaking, but Nancy Franklin, in her New Yorker review, sensed something already "a little out of date":
Women in New York have long complained that all the men here are either married or gay. But gay men, at least, used to be available; relationships with them may not have been sexual, but they were often truly romantic.
These days, though, your best gay male friend of a certain age is more likely to be spending his free time picking out towels .

90% Of Weight Loss Is Diet These 24 Foods Will Help You Blast Belly Fat And Lose Weight, - Duration: 6:39.
Visit Our Website Here : http://bit.ly/2q90Dxh 90% Of Weight Loss Is Diet These 24 Foods
Will Help You Blast Belly Fat And Lose Weight,
It is very important to be on a good diet in order to lose weight, because 80-90 % of
losing weight relies on the type of food we intake. But you can only incorporate a healthy
diet, and not follow a strict diet where almost everything is forbidden.
Change your lifestyle and turn towards healthy things, avoid bad food and eat healthy food,
and pay attention to how much food you eat and the time when you eat.
Here is a list of 25 healthy foods that are helpful in losing weight, and you should eat
these foods and burn fat at the same time.
Avocado
Avocados are rich in nutrients and contain little sugar. One study, which was published
in the Nutritional journal, proved that we can lower the hunger by 40% for several hours
after we eat ½ fresh avocado.
Avocado can also be incorporated in the salad as well as avocado-based oil and it will augment
the carotenoid absorption by 3 to 5 times. It can also improve the metabolism and boost
the energy due to its rich content of monounsaturated fats.
Beans and Legumes
Legumes and beans are abundant in fiber and protein, and they go through the digestive
tract very slowly, providing a feeling of satiety, and they can also hinder hyperglycemia,
hypoglycemia and regulate blood sugar.
They can also increase the production of cholecystoknin – powerful appetite suppressant and also
improve the balance of micro-organisms.
Berries
Blueberries are rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and K and they have little
calories and sugar. They are also abundant in dietary fiber, which is powerful in decelerating
the absorption of sugar and gives a feeling of satiety.
Pear and apple
Apples and pear are very rich in fiber, and contain almost no calories. For example, a
medium size apple contains 95 calories – which is about 5% of the recommended daily intake
of calories, and a small size pear contains 86 calories – which is less than 5% of the
recommended daily calorie intake in a healthy diet.
They are also rich in dietary fiber.
One study was conducted in which 49 between the age of 30 to 50 participated, and they
consumed 3 pears or apples or oat cookies. The results showed that the women that ate
apples or pears were losing weight and the group that ate oat cookies did not.
It is also recommended to eat the apples and pear without peeling them, to get all the
healthy benefits.
Grapefruit
Grapefruit is considered as the most powerful food for burning fat. It promotes the production
of cholecystoknin – which suppresses the hunger and also has a 'negative calorie'
– which makes it to burn more calories than it actually has.
It is also efficient in lowering the kevels of insulin and as a result it hinders the
fat buildup.
So it is recommended to eat a lot of grapefruit, whether for lunch or breakfast. The pulpy
and unsweetened juice of grapefruit also offers numerous health benefits.
Whole Grain
Eating whole grain in moderate amount can provide various health benefits, instead of
consuming not refined, white bread. Consume whole grain cord, sorghum, barley, brown rice,
quinoa, wild rice, whole oats and buckwheat.
Scientist from the Wake Forrest University discovered that eating 2.5 portions a day
can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 21%. Germ and bran are destroyed in the
process of refining and they are actually the most nutritious ingredients.
Salmon
Salmon is rich in beneficial nutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acids (4,023mg per 178 grams
of salmon), and they can improve the mood and the brain function.
The Omega 3 is also beneficial in hindering metabolic disease and obesity, aid in the
digestion process and soothes inflammation. Salmon is very rich in amino acids and proteins
that can increase the efficiency of insulin and treat the inflammation of the digestive
tract.
Salmon is abundant in iodine, helps in ameliorating the thyroid gland function.
Grapes
Grapes are very rich in phytonutrients like polyphenol and phenols, and this gives them
potent anti-inflammatory properties that can hinder metabolic disease, inflammation and
obesity.
The American Diabetes Association has proved that the polyphenols can hinder oxidative
stress caused by fructose and also ameliorate insulin sensitivity. But on the other hand,
grapes are also abundant in fructose and calories, so it is not recommended to eat more than
1 -5 cups
a day.

Will Vs. The Future | Secret Screening - Duration: 9:47.
The tricky part about talking about half hour pilots is that it's incredibly hard to explain
why the episode is so good and has so much potential without spoiling everything that
makes it so amazing.
So that said, for the beginning of this video, I will try my best to remain spoiler free
as I try to convince you to stop what you're doing and watch Will Vs.
The Future - and I'll give you plenty of warning before I drive into spoiler territory.
That said, if at any moment you feel convinced - and you haven't already watched the pilot
- you can find a direct link in the description below where you can watch the pilot for free.
Yes, this show will eventually be a part of Amazon's Prime service, but you do not need
a Prime account to watch.
I went into this show sight unseen, and I personally think the best way to experience
it.
But if you need some reasons why you should watch, here's some reasons.
Will Vs.
The Future is a half hour pilot created for Amazon Prime co-created by Tim McKeon and
Kevin Seccia.
Tim is the co-creator of PBS Kids series, Odd Squad - but long time fans of my channel
will likely know him better from his work writing and producing some of the best series
in modern American animation.
Including The LIfe And Times of Juniper Lee, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, Fish
Hooks, and Emmy winning and nominated work on Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends and
Adventure Time
What truly makes Tim McKeon stand out are his writing credits on the first season of
Gravity Falls.
Where, along with Alex Hirsch, he laid the breadcrumbs of massive parts of Gravity Falls
lore in episodes like Irrational Treasure, Dreamscaperers, and my personal favorite episode
of the entire series - Land Before Swine.
And I know what you're thinking: Does it work for pigs?
Yeah it works for pigs, stupid!
Feel your pig's heartbeat next to yours!
It works for PIGS!
Land Before Swine alone clearly proves that Tim not only knows how to work in tandem with
other creatives, but he also knows how to weave a story that effortlessly explores and
enriches characters while seamlessly expanding the world the show exists in balanced with
some of the tightest humor in modern televised storytelling.
The pilot episode of Will Vs.
The Future was also co-written and co-executively produced by Kevin Seccia, who in addition
to having a long working history with Tim on many of the same shows, he also wrote several
episodes of one of my favorite TV shows of all time, the criminally short lived Duck
Dodgers.
So hopefully by now, I've sold you on this show given the titanic creative talent helming
its first episode, but if not - before I jump into spoilers - know that the entire cast,
which is comprised mostly of kids around 12 years old - is amazing.
These double threats do their own stunts and their own comedy - two of the most dangerous
types of acting known to man - and they do both flawlessly.
Okay, hop in a time portal or stop this video if you care because spoilers begin… now.
Will Vs.
The Future is the story of middle schooler Will Jin who is confronted by the time traveling
Athena - a rebel from a seemingly dystopian future who comes bearing shocking news - when
Will grows up, he destroys the world.
She attempts to kill Will and alter the timeline, but nearly dies in the attempt.
Will saves her life, and convinces her that he can change his destiny - even if it means
alienating his best friends, and giving up on his passions like science.
Now here's where the show gets really interesting - it turns out that Principal Rhodes - who
seemed suspiciously too interested in Will's involvement in the Science Fair - has a good
reason to be.
You see, much like Athena he's a time traveler too.
Rhodes is a seemingly friendly robot that Will himself invented in the future, and he
explains that Athena can not be trusted.
What makes Will Vs.
The Future so exciting is that any bog-standard executive-noted boring "show for kids"
would never have left the answer to this driving force of the show ambiguous.
They would have forced the creative team to ham handedly telegraph that one side was good
and telling the truth and the other side was evil and lying.
And so much of that is a credit to not only the writing and direction, but to the fantastic
acting of Lexi Underwood and Back to the Future's Tom Wilson as Athena and Principal Rhodes
respectively.
Lexi is tasked with playing a post apocalyptic murder machine who's tasked with a grim
mission for the greater good of humanity that needs to balance being a legitimate and constantly
deadly threat to Will with being a fellow kid who's still willing to give Will a chance
to change the future without murdering him when he least expects it.
And Tom has quite possibly one of the best heel turns I've ever seen on screen in my
life.
This kind of story has been doled out time and time again.
Adults - especially authority figures like Principals - are usually depicted as exaggerated
cartoony villains, and the expert casting of Pop Culture's most infamous bully, makes
his reveal at the end of the episode all the more powerful.
There's a nuance and and heart to Tom's performance that blew me away.
He's tasked with flipping this whole episode and the show itself on its head, and he pulls
it off in such a way that is frankly jaw dropping.
It would be a discredit to simply chalk that up to misdirection or stunt casting, because
it's not.
If Tom didn't stick the landing, he would have come across as pandering instead of affectionate.
Goofy instead of sincere.
Will and the audience are left agape because we honestly don't know who to trust or really
what's going on anymore.
The episode credits Tom Wilson as a special guest, and I honestly hope they can boost
him to series regular in the same way Yara Martinez basically became the co-lead of The
Tick.
Given Tim and Kevin's scripts and Tom's performance, Principal Rhodes could be a new
career defining role for Tom that endears him to a new generation of fans.
Before I close, I also want to highlight the work of Teo Briones and Ashlyn Faith Williams
as Will and his best friend Hailey.
They have a great chemistry, and I'm looking forward to seeing how their friendship evolves
and the new and hilarious ways Hailey continues to be a bad influence on Will.
I also have to shout out Braxton Herda and Noah James as the bully Gary McGinty and the
just okay Glenn Furg.
Normally the characters of "intimidating bully" and "hapless patsy" are usually
thankless throwaway parts, but these two kids knock it out of the park and breath so much
life into these roles that I don't just want to see more of them.
I demand to see more of them.
I want to see Furg continue to navigate the world with his Zoidberg karma.
I want to see if McGinty could go toe to toe with Athena.
But mostly I want to see these two woven into the show in a way that allows us to cheer
when things finally turn around for Furg - or cheer for McGinty when he has his own heel
turn.
That desire to see more is 100% because of their stellar performances, and they should
be very proud.
I'm going to leave on one of the breadcrumbs seeded into this dense episode that truly
belies the raw potential of this show.
The episode opens with Athena bursting through a time portal and fighting a beast that I'll
call the Chrono Kraken.
The Chrono Kraken's robo tentacles attack Athena, who makes short work of them before
they pull back into the portal.
Flashing forward in the episode, after Will flees for his life and hides in his house,
we see, tucked away in the background, a model of the Chrono Kraken.
Was this made by Will, telegraphing his potential to create monsters?
Or was it made by his off screen Father who is never mentioned in the pilot?
There are a lot of unanswered questions, and the potential of this show's story to go
anywhere harkens back to the early days of Gravity Falls.
A show that equally wrapped its viewers in a world of shady secrets, hidden messages,
and leads who could trust no one.
And I know, just as I did with Gravity Falls, I will be back to analyze every episode they
make.
Again, if you haven't checked out Will Vs.
The Future, the link is in the description below.
And if you have checked it out already, watch it again.
Because you will start noticing a lot of secrets hidden in the show.
Either way, please also take the time to honestly review the series and take the short survey
after watching.
Those questions not only give Tim and Kevin the direct audience feedback to make a better
show, but also let Amazon know they should greenlight the series.
Thanks for watching.
Until next time, I'm Douglas MacKrell, and I'm asking you to share and like this video,
and subscribe to my channel.
Because you'll always have a ticket for my next Secret Screening!

North Korea's arch-enemy creates SWAT team amid fears Kim will BOMB Winter Olympics
The Special Weapons and Tactics team will stand guard at the Games major venues and have been trained to protect spectators and stop any assassination attempts.
SWAT team police inspector Jin Jeong-heon said: "We will search Olympic venues to check for bombs, protect athletes and visitors, and guard against any attempts to assassinate key figures." Top officials will further beef up security at the the major sporting event by cranking up cyber security and doubling the number of troops that will be deployed.
WW3: South Korea fears Kim Jong-un could drop bomb the Games.
WINTER OLYMPICS: The Games are set to be held in South Korea next year. Some 5,000 soldiers are set to be deployed, more than doubling the 2,400 on duty during the 2002 World Cup co-hosted by the South and Japan.
The Games take place next February in the mountainous resort town of Pyeongchang, which is just 50 miles from the heavily fortified border.
South Korea's concerns have grown after Pyongyang carried out a series of missile and nuclear tests that demonstrated the secretive state's rapid advancement in its weapons programme.
HATE: Kim has longed to destroy his rivals in South Korea.
SPECIAL FORCES: The South has trained up a top SWAT team to protect visitors. But the Olympics Committee has attempted to reassure visitors that the games will be safe.
It said: "We strongly believe we can host the Olympics successfully as we have invested a lot and prepared well for cyber security." An attack during the Games could trigger all-out war between the two nations, which could lead to 100,000 deaths in the first week of battle.
Professor Malcolm Chalmers detailed the horrific consequences of a potential conflict in his new report for the Royal United Services Institute titled Preparing for War in Korea.

10 EASY THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPIER, BACK - Duration: 21:49.
10 EASY THINGS YOU CAN DO TODAY THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAPPIER, BACKED BY SCIENCE
It seems everyone is seeking happiness. For me, I prefer to look at it as the search for
peace and joy in life, as I find happiness can be too conditional, and anytime we have
to look for or chase something, we are looking outside of us. Surely some of this is just
semantics, but happiness is, in my view, a state of being that comes from within and
doesn�t shift with circumstance.
I came across this great article about the science of happiness and how researchers have
been able to discover that we can adjust various things in our daily lives to bring more happiness
to our state of being. Though, again, I believe happiness happens over the longterm. It�s
not short spurts of emotion that we chase, but something that is born within and sustained
naturally in our being.
1. Exercise more � 7 minutes might be enough
You might have seen some talk recently about the scientific 7 minute workout mentioned
in The New York Times. So if you thought exercise was something you didn�t have time for,
maybe you can fit it in after all.
Exercise has such a profound effect on our happiness and well-being that it�s actually
been proven to be an effective strategy for overcoming depression. In a study cited in
Shawn Achor�s book, The Happiness Advantage, three groups of patients treated their depression
with either medication, exercise, or a combination of the two. The results of this study really
surprised me. Although all three groups experienced similar improvements in their happiness levels
to begin with, the follow-up assessments proved to be radically different:
The groups were then tested six months later to assess their relapse rate. Of those who
had taken the medication alone, 38 percent had slipped back into depression. Those in
the combination group were doing only slightly better, with a 31 percent relapse rate. The
biggest shock, though, came from the exercise group: Their relapse rate was only 9 percent!
You don�t have to be depressed to gain benefit from exercise, though. It can help you to
relax, increase your brain power and even improve your body image, even if you don�t
lose any weight.
A study in the Journal of Health Psychology found that people who exercised felt better
about their bodies, even when they saw no physical changes:
Body weight, shape and body image were assessed in 16 males and 18 females before and after
both 6 � 40 mins exercise and 6 � 40 mins reading. Over both conditions, body weight
and shape did not change. Various aspects of body image, however, improved after exercise
compared to before.
We�ve explored exercise in depth before, and looked at what it does to our brains,
such as releasing proteins and endorphins that make us feel happier, as you can see
in the image below.
2. Sleep more � you�ll be less sensitive to negative emotions
We know that sleep helps our bodies to recover from the day and repair themselves, and that
it helps us focus and be more productive. It turns out, it�s also important for our
happiness.
In NutureShock, Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman explain how sleep affects our positivity:
Negative stimuli get processed by the amygdala; positive or neutral memories gets processed
by the hippocampus. Sleep deprivation hits the hippocampus harder than the amygdala.
The result is that sleep-deprived people fail to recall pleasant memories, yet recall gloomy
memories just fine.
In one experiment by Walker, sleep-deprived college students tried to memorize a list
of words. They could remember 81% of the words with a negative connotation, like �cancer.�
But they could remember only 31% of the words with a positive or neutral connotation, like
�sunshine� or �basket.�
The BPS Research Digest explores another study that proves sleep affects our sensitivity
to negative emotions. Using a facial recognition task over the course of a day, the researchers
studied how sensitive participants were to positive and negative emotions. Those who
worked through the afternoon without taking a nap became more sensitive late in the day
to negative emotions like fear and anger.
Using a face recognition task, here we demonstrate an amplified reactivity to anger and fear
emotions across the day, without sleep. However, an intervening nap blocked and even reversed
this negative emotional reactivity to anger and fear while conversely enhancing ratings
of positive (happy) expressions.
Of course, how well (and how long) you sleep will probably affect how you feel when you
wake up, which can make a difference to your whole day. Especially this graph showing how
your brain activity decreases is a great insight about how important enough sleep is for productivity
and happiness:
Another study tested how employees� moods when they started work in the morning affected
their work day.
Researchers found that employees� moods when they clocked in tended to affect how
they felt the rest of the day. Early mood was linked to their perceptions of customers
and to how they reacted to customers� moods.
And most importantly to managers, employee mood had a clear impact on performance, including
both how much work employees did and how well they did it.
Sleep is another topic we�ve looked into before, exploring how much sleep we really
need to be productive.
3. Move closer to work � a short commute is worth more than a big house
Our commute to the office can have a surprisingly powerful impact on our happiness. The fact
that we tend to do this twice a day, five days a week, makes it unsurprising that its
effect would build up over time and make us less and less happy.
According to The Art of Manliness, having a long commute is something we often fail
to realize will affect us so dramatically:
� while many voluntary conditions don�t affect our happiness in the long-term because
we acclimate to them, people never get accustomed to their daily slog to work because sometimes
the traffic is awful and sometimes it�s not. Or as Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert
put it, �Driving in traffic is a different kind of hell every day.�
We tend to try to compensate for this by having a bigger house or a better job, but these
compensations just don�t work:
Two Swiss economists who studied the effect of commuting on happiness found that such
factors could not make up for the misery created by a long commute.
4. Spend time with friends and family � don�t regret it on your deathbed
Staying in touch with friends and family is one of the top five regrets of the dying.
If you want more evidence that it�s beneficial for you, I�ve found some research that proves
it can make you happier right now.
Social time is highly valuable when it comes to improving our happiness, even for introverts.
Several studies have found that time spent with friends and family makes a big difference
to how happy we feel, generally.
I love the way Harvard happiness expert Daniel Gilbert explains it:
We are happy when we have family, we are happy when we have friends and almost all the other
things we think make us happy are actually just ways of getting more family and friends.
George Vaillant is the director of a 72-year study of the lives of 268 men.
In an interview in the March 2008 newsletter to the Grant Study subjects, Vaillant was
asked, �What have you learned from the Grant Study men?� Vaillant�s response: �That
the only thing that really matters in life are your relationships to other people.�
He shared insights of the study with Joshua Wolf Shenk at The Atlantic on how the men�s
social connections made a difference to their overall happiness:
The men�s relationships at age 47, he found, predicted late-life adjustment better than
any other variable, except defenses. Good sibling relationships seem especially powerful:
93 percent of the men who were thriving at age 65 had been close to a brother or sister
when younger.
In fact, a study published in the Journal of Socio-Economics states than your relationships
are worth more than $100,000:
Using the British Household Panel Survey, I find that an increase in the level of social
involvements is worth up to an extra �85,000 a year in terms of life satisfaction. Actual
changes in income, on the other hand, buy very little happiness.
I think that last line is especially fascinating: Actual changes in income, on the other hand,
buy very little happiness. So we could increase our annual income by hundreds of thousands
of dollars and still not be as happy as if we increased the strength of our social relationships.
The Terman study, which is covered in The Longevity Project, found that relationships
and how we help others were important factors in living long, happy lives:
We figured that if a Terman participant sincerely felt that he or she had friends and relatives
to count on when having a hard time then that person would be healthier. Those who felt
very loved and cared for, we predicted, would live the longest.
Surprise: our prediction was wrong� Beyond social network size, the clearest benefit
of social relationships came from helping others. Those who helped their friends and
neighbors, advising and caring for others, tended to live to old age.
5. Go outside � happiness is maximized at 13.9�C
In The Happiness Advantage, Shawn Achor recommends spending time in the fresh air to improve
your happiness:
Making time to go outside on a nice day also delivers a huge advantage; one study found
that spending 20 minutes outside in good weather not only boosted positive mood, but broadened
thinking and improved working memory�
This is pretty good news for those of us who are worried about fitting new habits into
our already-busy schedules. Twenty minutes are a short enough time to spend outside that
you could fit it into your commute or even your lunch break.
A UK study from the University of Sussex also found that being outdoors made people happier:
Being outdoors, near the sea, on a warm, sunny weekend afternoon is the perfect spot for
most. In fact, participants were found to be substantially happier outdoors in all natural
environments than they were in urban environments.
The American Meteorological Society published research in 2011 that found current temperature
has a bigger effect on our happiness than variables like wind speed and humidity, or
even the average temperature over the course of a day. It also found that happiness is
maximized at 13.9�C, so keep an eye on the weather forecast before heading outside for
your 20 minutes of fresh air.
The connection between productivity and temperature is another topic we�ve talked about more
here. It�s fascinating what a small change in temperature can do.
6. Help others � 100 hours a year is the magical number
One of the most counterintuitive pieces of advice I found is that to make yourself feel
happier, you should help others. In fact, 100 hours per year (or two hours per week)
is the optimal time we should dedicate to helping others in order to enrich our lives.
If we go back to Shawn Achor�s book again, he says this about helping others:
�when researchers interviewed more than 150 people about their recent purchases, they
found that money spent on activities�such as concerts and group dinners out�brought
far more pleasure than material purchases like shoes, televisions, or expensive watches.
Spending money on other people, called �prosocial spending,� also boosts happiness.
The Journal of Happiness Studies published a study that explored this very topic:
Participants recalled a previous purchase made for either themselves or someone else
and then reported their happiness. Afterward, participants chose whether to spend a monetary
windfall on themselves or someone else. Participants assigned to recall a purchase made for someone
else reported feeling significantly happier immediately after this recollection; most
importantly, the happier participants felt, the more likely they were to choose to spend
a windfall on someone else in the near future.
So spending money on other people makes us happier than buying stuff for ourselves. What
about spending our time on other people? A study of volunteering in Germany explored
how volunteers were affected when their opportunities to help others were taken away:
Shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall but before the German reunion, the first wave
of data of the GSOEP was collected in East Germany. Volunteering was still widespread.
Due to the shock of the reunion, a large portion of the infrastructure of volunteering (e.g.
sports clubs associated with firms) collapsed and people randomly lost their opportunities
for volunteering. Based on a comparison of the change in subjective well-being of these
people and of people from the control group who had no change in their volunteer status,
the hypothesis is supported that volunteering is rewarding in terms of higher life satisfaction.
In his book Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happiness and Well-being, University of
Pennsylvania professor Martin Seligman explains that helping others can improve our own lives:
�we scientists have found that doing a kindness produces the single most reliable momentary
increase in well-being of any exercise we have tested.
7. Practice smiling � it can alleviate pain
Smiling itself can make us feel better, but it�s more effective when we back it up with
positive thoughts, according to this study:
A new study led by a Michigan State University business scholar suggests customer-service
workers who fake smile throughout the day worsen their mood and withdraw from work,
affecting productivity. But workers who smile as a result of cultivating positive thoughts
� such as a tropical vacation or a child�s recital � improve their mood and withdraw
less.
Of course it�s important to practice �real smiles� where you use your eye sockets.
It�s very easy to spot the difference:
Smiling
According to PsyBlog, smiling can improve our attention and help us perform better on
cognitive tasks:
Smiling makes us feel good which also increases our attentional flexibility and our ability
to think holistically. When this idea was tested by Johnson et al. (2010), the results
showed that participants who smiled performed better on attentional tasks which required
seeing the whole forest rather than just the trees.
A smile is also a good way to alleviate some of the pain we feel in troubling circumstances:
Smiling is one way to reduce the distress caused by an upsetting situation. Psychologists
call this the facial feedback hypothesis. Even forcing a smile when we don�t feel
like it is enough to lift our mood slightly (this is one example of embodied cognition).
One of our previous posts goes into even more detail about the science of smiling.
8. Plan a trip � but don�t take one
As opposed to actually taking a holiday, it seems that planning a vacation or just a break
from work can improve our happiness. A study published in the journal, Applied Research
in Quality of Life showed that the highest spike in happiness came during the planning
stage of a vacation as employees enjoyed the sense of anticipation:
In the study, the effect of vacation anticipation boosted happiness for eight weeks.
After the vacation, happiness quickly dropped back to baseline levels for most people.
Shawn Achor has some info for us on this point, as well:
One study found that people who just thought about watching their favorite movie actually
raised their endorphin levels by 27 percent.
If you can�t take the time for a vacation right now, or even a night out with friends,
put something on the calendar�even if it�s a month or a year down the road. Then whenever
you need a boost of happiness, remind yourself about it.
9. Meditate � rewire your brain for happiness
Meditation is often touted as an important habit for improving focus, clarity and attention
span, as well as helping to keep you calm. It turns out it�s also useful for improving
your happiness:
In one study, a research team from Massachusetts General Hospital looked at the brain scans
of 16 people before and after they participated in an eight-week course in mindfulness meditation.
The study, published in the January issue of Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, concluded
that after completing the course, parts of the participants� brains associated with
compassion and self-awareness grew, and parts associated with stress shrank.
Meditation literally clears your mind and calms you down, it�s been often proven to
be the single most effective way to live a happier life. I believe that this graphic
explains it the best:
Before and After Meditation
According to Shawn Achor, meditation can actually make you happier long-term:
Studies show that in the minutes right after meditating, we experience feelings of calm
and contentment, as well as heightened awareness and empathy. And, research even shows that
regular meditation can permanently rewire the brain to raise levels of happiness.
The fact that we can actually alter our brain structure through mediation is most surprising
to me and somewhat reassuring that however we feel and think today isn�t permanent.
We�ve explored the topic of meditation and it�s effects on the brain in-depth before.
It�s definitely mind-blowing what this can do to us.
10. Practice gratitude � increase both happiness and life satisfaction
This is a seemingly simple strategy, but I�ve personally found it to make a huge difference
to my outlook. There are lots of ways to practice gratitude, from keeping a journal of things
you�re grateful for, sharing three good things that happen each day with a friend
or your partner, and going out of your way to show gratitude when others help you.
In an experiment where some participants took note of things they were grateful for each
day, their moods were improved just from this simple practice:
The gratitude-outlook groups exhibited heightened well-being across several, though not all,
of the outcome measures across the 3 studies, relative to the comparison groups. The effect
on positive affect appeared to be the most robust finding. Results suggest that a conscious
focus on blessings may have emotional and interpersonal benefits.
The Journal of Happiness studies published a study that used letters of gratitude to
test how being grateful can affect our levels of happiness:
Participants included 219 men and women who wrote three letters of gratitude over a 3
week period.
Results indicated that writing letters of gratitude increased participants� happiness
and life satisfaction, while decreasing depressive symptoms.
Quick last fact: Getting older will make yourself happier
As a final point, it�s interesting to note that as we get older, particularly past middle
age, we tend togrow happier naturally. There�s still some debate over why this happens, but
scientists have got a few ideas:
Researchers, including the authors, have found that older people shown pictures of faces
or situations tend to focus on and remember the happier ones more and the negative ones
less.
Other studies have discovered that as people age, they seek out situations that will lift
their moods � for instance, pruning social circles of friends or acquaintances who might
bring them down. Still other work finds that older adults learn to let go of loss and disappointment
over un-achieved goals, and hew their goals toward greater wellbeing.
So if you thought being old would make
you miserable, rest assured that it�s likely you�ll develop a more positive outlook than
you probably have now.

lenny will and grace [ great news cast [ anthony ramos will and grace ] - Duration: 3:18.
Fix your mind to the moment that "Will & Grace" premièred, in September, 1998, and it can seem antediluvian. Ellen DeGeneres and her sitcom alter ego had come out of the closet, to fanfare and condemnation, only a year and a half earlier.
Nathan Lane had starred in "The Birdcage" but hadn't yet come out in real life. And then onto network television splashed a show about out-and-proud Manhattanites and the women who love them.
Women in New York have long complained that all the men here are either married or gay. But gay men, at least, used to be available; relationships with them may not have been sexual, but they were often truly romantic.
These days, though, your best gay male friend of a certain age is more likely to be spending his free time picking out towels with his mate or going to their Jack Russell's obedience-school graduation than he is to be hanging out with you.
Franklin, as it happened, had predicted how the series would end, eight years later: with the title characters falling into a decades-long rift after both find romantic partners.
Are the friendships between gay men and straight women inherently dysfunctional, the series asked, or inherently fabulous?
Either way, "Will & Grace," blessed with sharp writing and magic casting (Eric McCormack and Debra Messing), anatomized that bond in a way that pop culture hadn't seen before, with the side-by-side couplings of the neurotic yuppies Will and Grace and the manic clowns Jack and Karen (played by the also great Megan Mullally and Sean Hayes).
Anyone who had ever been part of such a coupling, with its in-jokes and superior party games, knew that it could be as much of its own private world as any marriage, and often as fraught.

These 10 STEPS Will INSTANTLY Improve Your WILLPOWER | How to Stay Motivated & Motivate Yourself - Duration: 13:18.
Will power is possibly THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL you can develop, IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
Your world is your will.
You shape it based on what you decide to do and what you decide to make happen.
If your will is weak, it'll be a lot harder for you to make it how you want it.
If your will is strong, you'll be able to do anything you want, and achieve anything
you want.
Your world is as epic as you make it using your will.
So let's learn how to develop it!
#1.
Never settle.
If you want something, do it.
If you want to be captain of the football team, figure out how to do it, and do it ... don't
settle for captain of the World of Warcraft team.
If you want to hook up with a Victorias Secret model, figure out how to do it, and do it.
Don't settle for the 17 year old ratchet cumbucket who got knocked up by her crips and bloods
boyfriend before she even had a drivers license and now works part time at the burger shack
to pay for her nose ring collection.
You CAN do anything you want, and you WILL do anything you want, if you throw yourself
at it and dont stop until you get it.
See, if you settle for something you don't really want, you tell yourself you DON'T have
the willpower to keep at it.
And by telling yourself that, you start to believe it, and if you believe you have no
willpower then you won't have any.
It'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
So fuck that.
If you get in the mindset of settling, then you're less likely to maintain your self control
in the future, because you see settling as "not a big a deal," and if you're on a 30
day diet and it's day 15 you'll think "ehh, 15 is good enough, I'll eat that brownie."
If you're in the mindset of never settling, you'll stick with it until the end.
Achieving stuff is all about willpower.
Will is the most important skill in the universe, it's more important than everything else,
because no matter who you are, and what you have right now, if you have the will to keep
pushing for something and never settle, you ARE gonna achieve it!
.... Plus, you can acquire every other skill with will.
Don't think small just because other people do.
Nothing is "more likely" or "less likely" than anything else, the only thing that determines
how likely something is to happen is YOU, and how much YOU put into it.
If you want to be an astronaut and you spend all day every day working towards that, and
you're determined as fuck, and you love working on it, and you never procrastinate and you
put everything into it - you WILL do it.
If you want to learn how to fly around in the sky like Superman, then fuckin do it,
there are tons of technological and biological developments to be made, and there's nothing
saying YOU won't be the one to do it, so if you want to do it, do it.
Don't be like "uhh yea well I really wanna invent something that'll let me fly around
in the sky ... but I think I'll settle for being the manager of Pizza Hut instead" like
what the fuck you talkin about?
Please!
Pick your dick up in your hand and DO the stuff you wanna do!
If you see someone working towards something, don't tell em you don't think they can do
it.
Only weak-minded people try to tell others they can't do things, and only weak-minded
people put limits on themselves and others.
If they dont think they can do it, that's on them.
If you think you can do it, you can.
So do it.
Other peoples' beliefs and limits are irrelevant.
Just do you.
Do your own thing.
#2.
Practice with things that have small, measurable results.
If you experience measurable, quantifiable results, it's easier to stick with something.
For example let's say you want to start taking an ice cold shower every day.
You take one for 5 days, and you have measurable results: you've done it for 5 days.
If you do it for 6 days, that's even better.
If you take a hot one on day 7, you know you lost your streak.
It's really simple and straightforward.
Now compare this to something like, you want to get into law school.
So you have to read, study, research, take practice tests, and so on, and there are lots
of different variables, so you don't know the exact weight of each thing and it's harder
to be strict about it because "a single practice test isn't that big a deal."
Think about it like this.
If I say "yo, I'm gonna teach you how to move objects with your mind."
And each day you practice it, and each day you can move the object one more inch than
you could the day before, and you can see exactly how much progress you've made - you're
gonna stick with it.
Now if I say "yo, I'm gonna teach you how to move objects with your mind, and it's gonna
take you 3 years before you see ANY results at all" - for most people, it's gonna be harder
for them to stick with it, because they don't know if they're doing it right and they can't
measure the progress.
So if you develop your control through things with simpler, more measurable results where
you have immediate feedback on whether you were successful or not, you'll strengthen
that ability and you'll be able to use it in longer-term goals where you need it.
#3.
Be decisive.
Don't look to others for approval.
I don't give a flying ballsack if someone else likes what I'm doing.
It's my goal.
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna decide what I do, when I do it, how I do it, why I do it, and with whom I
do it.
This doesn't mean you can't ask other people for ideas.
If you're building a new computer and you're friends with the president of Intel, then
of course it's alright to ask him for his suggestions.
But don't make looking to others a habit, because in almost every scenario, it's unnecessary.
If you want to buy yourself a new office chair and you can't decide between the black and
red colorway or the black and orange colorway, don't be like "yo bro which color do you think
is better?"
Who cares what color he thinks is better?!
Just decide it yourself.
Make decisions.
Making decisions, YOURSELF, will enhance your decision-making ability, and following through
on those decisions will enhance your willpower and your ability to get things done, as well
as your belief - or, more accurately, your KNOWLEDGE - that you CAN do all of those things
yourself.
#4.
Start making it tougher for yourself.
Example: if you're addicted to jacking off, level 1 is gonna be not looking at porn so
you don't feel like jacking off.
Level 2 is NOT using little tricks to block yourself.
Open pornhub and have that shit open at the side of your screen and then don't jack off.
Instead of using any little tricks, use only your willpower.
Willpower is a skill, it's like a muscle, if you want it to improve, you have to exercise
it.
Deliberately do things to exert your willpower.
Example: if you have a favorite unhealthy food, buy it, set it up at your table all
ready for you to eat it, and then sit there and don't eat it.
Even harder example: let's say you have the hottest girl you've ever talked to in your
life, lying naked in your bed, begging you to fuck her.
Take your clothes off.
Get into the bed.
Get on top of the girl.
Reach for her.
And then ...... get up, put your clothes back on, and leave.
BOOM!
Willpower, plus 5!
#5.
Don't make a big deal about achieving things.
A lot of people like to do this.
If they're planning to lose weight, they're like "so I'm gonna start my diet next sunday,
and between now and then I'm gonna enjoy my last week of eating whatever I want, and then
I'm gonna announce it on facebook and have a huge party, and then when I lose the weight
I'm gonna announce it again" fuck that.
You should act like you ALREADY KNOW you're gonna achieve the things you want to achieve.
Just like I'm not gonna call up my friend and be like "yo, holy shit dude, I brushed
my teeth so fucking well this morning.
I brushed the hell outta those bitches!" because I already assumed I'd be able to do it.
The thought that I wouldnt be able to do it didn't even cross my mind.
And this is how you should be with everything you want to achieve.
The thought that you won't achieve it doesnt even cross your mind.
You already know you're gonna get it.
If I decide I want a new Lambo, I'm not gonna be like "so I'll start saving up for it next
week, but between now and then I'm gonna spend money and then next week I'm gonna start saving,
and then I'm gonna tell all my friends 'yoo im only 30k away! and then when I get it I'm
gonna announce it and post pictures of it on my instagram and my snaaaapchaaaaat!!!!!"
Why would I do that?
I already knew I'd achieve it.
I assumed I'd get it.
I expected to get it.
So why am I gonna announce it like it's a huge surprise like I'm a transgender muslim
who made it through a trump convention without getting beat up?
If I achieve something like losing a few percent bodyfat, I don't even tell anyone about it
because it's just a typical thing.
If I want to achieve it, I KNOW I'll achieve it.
If I achieve something fucking incredible, like I build a time machine, I'm still not
gonna announce it.
If i want to do it I'm just gonna start doing it.
And when I'm successful I'm just gonna get in it and start using it!
I'm not gonna text all my friends like "yooo holy shit! i cant believe i did it!" because
... I CAN believe I did it.
I already KNEW I was gonna do it.
If you act like it's a huge surprise every time you achieve something, then all you're
doing is framing it, to yourself, in a way that implies that achieving stuff IS a surprise
to you, like you didn't believe you could do it and you just stumbled into it.
And that kind of attitude destroys your willpower and your ability to do things, because you
act like there was an element of luck involved, when there wasn't!
You did it because you fuckin did it.
The fact that you did something you wanted to do, shouldn't be a huge surprise to you.
You should be doing things you want to do every day.
And if you're not ... then start doing them!
See, if you dont believe you can do something, then it's gonna be harder to stick with it
and to control yourself, and you'll be more likely to get distracted because you think
allowing yourself to give in to distractions isn't that important.
But, if you believe you CAN do something, then it becomes a lot easier for you to exert
the self control needed to actually DO it, and to pursue it diligently, and to exert
the willpower needed to achieve it.
If you want to do something, you SHOULD believe you can do it ... "because you god damn can."
#6.
Don't put things off.
If you want to do something, start doing it right now.
There is NO reason to wait to do the things you want to do.
If you want to do something, do it NOW.
Don't put it off.
Start now.
Use the 3 second rule.
If you think of something you want to do, like you're in bed and it's time to get out,
count 3, 2, 1, and you're out.
If you're about to get into an ice cold shower, count 3, 2, 1 and you're in.
If you're about to start up a new business venture and you haven't decided if you'd rather
sit there and watch another episode of The Bachelor instead, count 3, 2, 1 and you've
started working on your business.
And please tell me you don't actually watch The Bachelor.
Dont procastinate.
Procastinating makes you procrastinate more.
Being in the zone makes you not want to stop being in it.
#7.
Remove simple obstacles and inconveniences.
Example: if you want to start taking cold showers, and for some reason your shower takes
10 minutes to get cold but only 5 seconds to get hot, then you're a lot more likely
to just give in and think "fuck it, I'll just take a hot one today."
If you modify your shower so it takes the same amount of time for each temperature,
or so it's faster for it to get cold than it is to get hot, then it'll help you.
If you want to start eating healthy but you have tons of junk food in your pantry, toss
it out, don't even have it at your house, that way if you feel like eating junk food
you'll have to drive to the store to buy it, and you probably just won't even do it.
If you want to abstain from sex, and there's a naked supermodel in your bed begging you
to fuck her even though she's not on birth control, but you have your dick in one of
these things and it's a lot of trouble to get it out, you probably just won't even do
itWhat IS this shit?
I don't even ... I just googled "dick cage" and this came up
So - figure out what obstacles make pursuing your goal more inconvenient, and then eliminate
them And at the same time, you can even create
your own obstacles to NOT pursuing it, so that pursuing it is MORE convenient than not
doing it.
#8.
Don't waste your will on STUPID shit.
This SEEMS to contradict what I said earlier about practicing exerting your self control,
like in the example of getting in bed with the girl and then getting up and leaving.
But!
I'm talking more about using it in a non-deliberate way, on things you don't care about.
Like if you're at the gym and you're sitting there hoping your ass off that some hot girl
will look at you.
Or if you find yourself arguing on the internet trying to convince someone of something.
In these cases, you're not doing things deliberately, you're just acting.
You're like an actor in a script.
But when you do things on purpose, with the awareness that you've chosen to do them because
they benefit you in a specific way - then you're like the writer of the script.
Be proactive, not reactive.
You are the one in control.
You are the god of your own life.
You don't need to wait for things to happen, and then respond to them.
You choose what you want to happen, and then you make it happen.
#9.
Schedule.
Make a schedule for yourself.
Let's say you want to motivate yourself to eat a salad every day, and to study math.
So put them in your schedule.
8am wake up.
9am eat salad.
10am watch netflix.
11am study math. 1pm whatever.
Now you have specific times to do the things you want to do, and it's easier to stick to
it than if you just had free days where you never planned what to work on.
Committing to doing a specific thing, at a specific time, on a specific day, will make
it much easier for you to exercise control over yourself and do it.
#10.
Don't "try."
Write this down and put it up somewhere you'll see it: "I don't try."
If you want to do something, you don't "try" to do it.
You do it.
Just having this in your mind will seriously boost your willpower because you'll condition
yourself to stop "trying" to do things, and to actually DO them.
And that's it!
Like I said, never settle.
Just because other people aim small, it doesn't mean you have to.
If you want to be an astronaut, a billionaire, a race car driver, if you want to discover
the cure for cancer, the cure for aging, or if you want to make a friend, or anything
else - you CAN do it.
And if you put your mind to it, and you direct the full

Will Morty Die in the Rick and Morty Season Finale? (Nerdist News w/ Jessica Chobot) - Duration: 3:18.
- Is Morty going to die
in the season finale of Rick and Morty?
Since we're in tinfoil hat territory here,
we're gonna hit you with a light spoiler warning.
That's me going slap!
Then spoilers, it'll be cool.
If indeed, we are in the darkest
of all Rick and Morty seasons as the showrunners have said,
you wouldn't know that from the finale's teaser.
In the promo for the final episode of season three,
The Rickchurian Mortydate, R and M have been called
into the White House by the president
to snuff out an alien infestation.
But as we saw a few episodes back
with the The Ricklantis Mixup, the show has used teasers
to misdirect us so do we trust them with this one?
Now, this has been called the darkest season of the show
by the creators, fans, and even by the characters themselves
and just like the The Ricklantis Mixup teaser,
this one's a bit too neat and tidy.
They practically answer the mystery of this episode
in the teaser, they find and shoot the rat-like alien
in the Kennedy sex tunnels.
Now, even the title of this episode
refers to a classic book that was all about misdirects.
The original 1959 novel The Manchurian Candidate,
which has been adapted into two well-known films,
was about a platoon of soldiers who are all brainwashed
in order to support a massive overthrow of the government
using a sleeper agent.
So is the finally going to be much darker
than a simple Man in Black style homage
to alien exterminators?
Probably, and we think it'll end
with our Morty gone if not dead.
Now we know from the The Ricklantis Mixup that Evil Morty
is out to rule the Multiverse and he's clearly made
big headway by conquering the Citadel and all other Ricks
and if our previous theory on Evil Morty's identity is true,
then Evil Morty is the original C-137 Morty
and he knows that our Rick is the only person
in all of the universes that he can't control.
That would make it important for him to find a way
to kill or control C-137 Rick, aka the Rickest Rick,
so that he can continue his plans
of trans-universe Mortatorship with no one in his way.
Now to pull this off, Evil Morty
will either capture and brainwash our current Rick's Morty
or kill and replace him entirely.
Killing our Morty would also make good on the promise
of this being the darkest season
and it would ratchet up the stakes for Rick.
Plus, we've seen quite a few times this season
that replacing Morties is no big deal
in the Citadel and that our current Rick
is completely knowledgeable of this practice.
There's even that quick shot of Rick
choosing which Morty to get in a store
full of packaged Morties in this season's opening credits.
Now, we have some possible players
who could get mixed up in our Mortyspiracy.
Assuming Beth took the clone option, she could be out there
exploring and bump into Evil Morty,
becoming a thorn in Evil Morty's side
and as for our current Morty, he does seem much more fed-up
with this Rick between the Vindicators episode
and Morty's Mind Blowers, we're seeing a Morty
who has been straight-up challenging Rick's authority a lot.
He was the one who pretty effortlessly led Rick
and the Vindicators through drunken Rick's Saw ripoff
of deadly puzzles and booby traps.
So maybe our Morty could become a willing participant
in Evil Morty's plan to put Rick in his place
but what do you think?
Is Morty the actual Manchurian candidate for Evil Morty?
Is Rick or Morty going down this season?
Let's discuss.
