LG G Pad X With Android 5.0 Headed For Verizon

lg g pad xIt’s been awhile since we last saw a tablet from LG, but the good news for those who like LG’s tablet offerings is that a new tablet appears to be in the works as per our previous report. This is according to a recent tweet by @evleaks who revealed that the LG G Pad X will be headed for Verizon, and thanks to his latest tweet, a photo of the device has surfaced.

Unfortunately apart from the name and its destination on Verizon’s network, not much is known about the device for now. However based on what we can tell from the photo, it looks like it will feature a rather interesting design. As you can see in the photo above, the tablet appears to sport a brushed metal back that doesn’t fully cover its surface.

It also appears that on the back there are two speaker grills suggesting that we might be looking at a stereo speaker setup, although it’s odd that they chose to place it in the back and not the front where it might benefit the user the most. The tablet also appears to sport two cameras, one in front and one in the back, and will support Verizon’s 4G LTE connectivity.

Its display size, resolution, chipset, RAM, and storage remain a complete mystery, however if this leak is any indication, hopefully an official announcement won’t be too far behind.

How To Meditate Over A Cup Of Coffee

To misquote a piece of ’80s movie wisdom, life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and meditate every so often, you could miss it.

Simply put, meditation can make your life better. The practice has a host of health benefits: It can reduce stress, ease inflammation and lower blood pressure. It can also help a person feel more present — a state that leads to productivity, creativity and comfort. If you’ve ever left the office feeling entirely drained but unsure of what you accomplished, meditation can fix that, too.

A simple coffee (or tea!) meditation is a good place for newbies to start, but works well even for advanced meditators who are stretched for time. Purposeful pauses — mini meditations during the day — offer the opportunity to bring your mind and body back to the present moment, Janice L. Marturano, founder and executive director of the Institute for Mindful Leadership, told HuffPost. She suggests finding something you routinely do that engages your physical senses — whether that’s drinking your morning cup of coffee or getting dressed before work — and turning it into a purposeful pause. Marturano stressed that the action must employ your physical sensations (the smell of brewed coffee, the feel of fabric grazing your arms), because these can only be felt in the present moment.

Below, the steps to engage in a simple coffee meditation. You can substitute any physical action for the coffee drinking.

  • Start the practice as soon as you walk to get your coffee. Feel your feet touching the floor, listen to the sounds around you.
  • Once you’re at the coffee machine, feel the cup in your hands, notice the smell of beverage, recognize the warm that penetrates through the mug to your hands.
  • If you’re adding cream or sugar, be in touch with the action of pouring, the sound the grains make when leaving their packets and hitting the surface of the coffee.
  • As you bring the coffee to your mouth, be aware of any salivation or physical feelings of anticipation for the drink.

It’s natural to get distracted. Your mind can wander and other thoughts arise — perhaps you can’t get past the 9 a.m. meeting that didn’t go too well, or a rude fellow commuter on your way into the office — but each time it does, Marturano advises, bring your attention back to the physical sensations you’re experiencing with the coffee. You might be alternating between distracted thoughts and thoughts of the present moment for the entirety of your mini meditation. But Marturano says that even that experience, even if it took three minutes, gives your mind and your body a chance to switch off of autopilot.

“It allows the body and mind to rest, to be fully aware of what’s happening,” she said. “Then you can go on with what’s next and make a conscious choice about what’s important now.”

21 Anxiety Triggers That Might Surprise You

anxiety triggers

If you suffer from anxiety, you’re not alone. Anxiety disorders affect 40 million U.S. adults, according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.

Doctors typically diagnose patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder if they suffer from symptoms of anxiety (constant worry, insomnia, difficulty concentration and more) for more than six months. But according to Everyday Health, almost all of us have experienced anxiety at some point.

What triggers those feelings of panic and worry that we’re oh-so-familiar with? We reached out to HuffPost Lifestyle’s Facebook community and got some honest, heartfelt answers from our readers. Here are 21 things that trigger anxiety:

1. “Money woes! Trying to save for a wedding, a house and pay down debts seems unattainable after paying monthly bills. And forget starting a family — how do people afford it?!”Facebook user Rebekah L

2. “My child’s struggles in school.” Facebook user Tess E. Williams

3. “I feel heat rising in my neck when too many people speak to me at once.”Facebook user Zandra Rios-Martinez

4. “Being far from home.”Facebook user Jojo Bean

5. “Trying anything new, going anywhere by myself, or going anywhere period. Arguing with the ones I love. Anxiety sucks.”Facebook user Kristi Marshall-Miller

7. “Crowds!”Facebook user Linda Balzano

8. “Being verbally attacked or being around extremely negative or judgmental people.”Facebook user Anna Heiser

10. “Being alone.”Facebook user Robyn Cox

11. “Death. I’ve lost a lot of people in my life over the past 10 years.”Facebook user Lindsey Solenberger

14. “Work. The feeling that even though I’m a really good performer, I could be fired at any moment.”Facebook user Gabby Nelson
work stress

15. “Hearing an ambulance.”Facebook user Tina Mike

16. “Losing control and uncertainty. A lack of communication and trying to come to my own conclusions also does.”Facebook user Jill Grodan

17. “Meeting new people.”Facebook user Karen Temple Walker

18. “Not living up to the über high expectations I place upon myself!”Facebook user Gayle Redick Cramer

19. “Driving on the freeway.”Facebook user Camille Wright
