THE EMPIRE: Normalizes gay romantic relationships

This week, Fox's Empire premiered on Fox to 9.8 million total viewers. As TVline notes, it's the network’s highest-rated series launch in three years (since Touch), and broadcast TV’s No. 2 debut of the season (trailing ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder).That's a game changer. Not only because it's the first TV show from director Lee Daniels. Or because it involves black Oscar-caliber actors working in the network TV idiom. But, as Kelly Carter wrote on BuzzFeed, it means Being Gay and Black on TV will never be the same."

The Empire is a musical soap opera that focuses on  Lucious (Terrence Howard) and his estranged ex-wife mother Cookie (Taraji P. Henson), and their three handsome sons: Andre (Trai Byers); Jamal (Jussie Smollett), and Hakeem (Bryshere Y. Gray).

GYM ETIQUETTE: The 7 Rules of Gym Etiquette

Whether you realize it or not, you and those you share a gym with form a community. Making that community an entity that can work together for everyone’s benefit means following a few sensible rules—rules that aren’t posted on the walls of your gym but probably should be. Follow this simple code of conduct to ensure the safest, most productive—and least annoying- training environment for everyone around you. Go ahead and print these pages and tape them to the wall of your gym. It’s time everyone got the message.

GYM ETIQUETTE #1 'Don't hog the bench and a bunch of weights for yourself''
The first one should be the most obvious and self-explanatory, but many guys just don’t get it. The gym is a public space, and the weights and bench belong to everyone. If the gym is nearly empty, rest on the bench all you want or circuit train throughout the entire gym. But if it’s packed (as it is on most weeknights after working hours), don’t hog a bunch of equipment and bench for yourself. If you absolutely need several pairs of dumbbells for a long giant set, be prepared to let other people work in. The same applies with sharing the bench during your rest period...wow!

BREATHE: Your way into better health!

Breathing is so natural, we hardly ever think about it. But have you ever wondered why your doctor ask you to take breathe in deep breathe and exhale slowly?...What are they looking for, and why does it feel like this is the first time you really BREATHE?  Well, every part of the body is affected by breathing properly.  And there's a way to do it right and incorrectly

The Importance of Breathing Properly

Dr. Adrew Weil said: "Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health. If I had to limit my advice on healthier living to just one tip, it would be simply to learn how to breathe correctly. There's no single more powerful--or more simple--daily practice to further your health and well-being than breath-work." Dr. Weil, author of "Breathing: The Master Key to Self-Healing," claims that because breathing is a controllable event that can be regulated, it's useful for attaining a relaxed and centered state of mind.
