“Happiness is hard to measure, but that hasn’t stopped researchers from trying.”
And, if you ask the researchers, and the government of the country five years running designated the happiest on the planet, they’ve succeeded wonderfully well.
Now, the country’s tourism arm, Visit Finland, is offering to pay for ten travelers to fly to the country for a four-day seminar. The masterclass will take place at the Kuru Resort, which is located in the Finnish Lakeland region, from June 12 to 15.
The course is designed to help travelers tap into their “inner Finn,” per a Visit Finland statement.
One can think of absolutely no reason not to apply. It’s paid for, it won’t interrupt one’s life, happiness is infectious, and unlike masterclasses in, for instance, the U.S., you won’t be cuddling up with ruthless politicians responsible for catastrophes around the globe.
Finland’s where it’s at.
Blood, Sweat & Tears’ Iron Curtain tour remains one of the strangest (and worst) decisions in rock history.
One of the band’s cofounders says the U.S. state department blackmailed them into the tour.
So why’d they do it?
“We were blackmailed,” Katz tells Rolling Stone. “We had to do this, or we wouldn’t have had a lead singer.”
[A]ccording to the group, they were forced to do the tour or their frontman David Clayton-Thomas — a Canadian citizen with a petty criminal record as a teenager — would be deported.
We would never?
Try this explosive element to ward off dementia
More magnesium in our daily diet leads to better brain health as we age, according to scientists from the Neuroimaging and Brain Lab at The Australian National University (ANU).
The researchers say increased intake of magnesium-rich foods such as spinach and nuts could also help reduce the risk of dementia, which is the second leading cause of death in Australia and the seventh biggest killer globally.
The study of more than 6,000 cognitively healthy participants in the United Kingdom aged 40 to 73 found people who consume more than 550 milligrams of magnesium each day have a brain age that is approximately one year younger by the time they reach 55 compared with someone with a normal magnesium intake of about 350 milligrams a day.
A friend of mine, sadly now deceased, was fond of setting off magnesium bombs on deserted street corners in the wee hours. If only he’d known it was better to eat it than explode it.
That, Comrades, is all there is
No music today either. Take care, be well.
