Ariana Grande It's a restrained ballad... Ariana Grande has debuted her new single ‘Imagine’, the follow-up to the phenomenal success of ‘thank u, next.’ But the new offering is a total contrast from the aforementioned track – it’s instead a restrained ballad.

The star also explained the inspirations of her new album, sharing a draft of a tweet to her Instagram stories. https://youtu.be/7_rftpd0u0U “A lot of this album mourns failed yet important, beautiful relationships in my life (as well as celebrates growth / exploring new independence),” she wrote. “But for those of you asking about imagine: i would say if ‘thank u, next’ = acceptance… ‘imagine’ = denial. hope that makes sense.”

Pedro Infante Google Doodle: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know

Google is honoring Pedro Infante’s 100th birthday with a Google Doodle today, November 17. Infante was born in 1917 and died in 1957. He did not live a long life, but he lived a full life that left behind a major impact that is still felt today. He was a beloved Mexican actor and singer who is often compared to Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley. His nicknames, including “El Inmortal,” “El Rey de Rancheras,” and “El idolo de Guamuchil,” represent his style, charm, and musical skill. He was known as one of the “Tres Gallos Mexicanos” — Three Mexican Roosters — because of his amazing role in cinema. Google writes in its biography about Infante: “Infante’s passions went beyond stage and screen, though they often appeared intertwined.” He was also an avid boxer and he could do amazing acrobats on a motorcycle. You can see more photos of Infante in Google’s new online exhibit about him. But there was far more to Infante than his numerous, world-changing talents. He was one of 15 children a

THE WAY OUT OF UNDESIRABLE CONDITIONS

Having seen and realized that evil is but a passing shadow thrown, by the intercepting self, across the transcendent from of the Eternal Good, and the world is a mirror in which each sees a refection of him, we now ascend, by firm and easy step, to that plane of perception whereon is seen and realized the vision of the Law, with this realization comes the knowledge that everything is a ceaseless interaction of cause and effect, and that nothing can possibly be divorced from law. From the most trivial thought, word, act of man up to the groupings of the celestial bodies, law reigns supreme.  No arbitrary condition can, even for one moment, exist, for such a condition would be a denial and an annihilation of law. Every condition of life is therefore, bound up in an orderly and harmonious sequence, and the secret and cause of every condition is contained within itself. The law “Whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap” is inscribed in flaming letters upon the portal of E

George Zimmerman charged with felony after allegedly pointing gun at girlfriend

(CNN) -- George Zimmerman was charged Monday with felony aggravated assault after allegedly pointing a shotgun at his girlfriend, according to Dennis Lemma, chief deputy with the Seminole County, Florida, Sheriff's Office. Zimmerman, who was acquitted earlier this year of murdering teenager Trayvon Martin, was arrested after the incident at the home of Samantha Scheibe, Lemma said. He also was charged with two misdemeanors -- domestic violence battery and criminal mischief -- in connection with the same incident, Lemma said. Zimmerman is being held in jail without bail and will make his first appearance in front of a judge Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. ET. Differing 911 calls According to a police report on the incident, Scheibe said that after an argument Zimmerman broke a table with a shotgun then pointed it at her "for a minute." Scheibe called 911 at 12:30 E.T., Lemma said. On a 911 call recording released by police, a woman can be heard telling authorities:

Do You Want to Lose Weight? Here is the #1 Habit You Need to Break

Getty Images There are few absolutes in weight loss science. High-carb versus low-carb diets are still the subject of endless debate. Whether snacks make you slimmer or fatter is an argument for the ages . The evidence for calories-in versus calories-burned is even being questioned. Amid this dissonant squabbling a clarion truth emerges: Eating at night is strongly associated with being overweight and obese. That after-dark nibbling makes you fat seems to be true for people of all ages. Two new studies ad, ahem, weight to this consensus and offer some insight into why night snacking can make you overweight. The first measured the effects of nighttime snacking on energy metabolism. The researchers looked at 11 healthy women, who either consumed a 210-calorie snack at 10 am or 11 pm over 13 days. After the 13-day period, researchers measured the basil metabolic rate for each group. The conclusion: eating at night changes your metabolism for the worst. Eating the

How Can Chocolate Give me a Youthful Skin?

Thinkstock Everyone is familiar with applying sunscreen to put damaging sun rays at bay. But can eating chocolate have similar effects? A  recent study  by a group of London scientists found that those who ate 20 grams of dark chocolate for 12 weeks were able to stay in the sun for twice as long without getting burned in comparison to those who ate none. In 2009, the  Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology  revealed that dark chocolate offers significant protection against harmful UV effects from the sun, which can cause premature aging. And in 2006,  German scientists  also found chocolate can help protect against the rays that cause cancer. “Scientific data supports eating chocolate high in flavanoids, an antioxidant compound typically found in dark chocolate, can protect your skin, primarily against sunburn and UV damage,” says cosmetic dermatologist  Dr. Oscar Hevia .  “One study did show that after three months, ingestion of high flavanol chocolate also improved skin th

Achy Knees? 10 Percent Weight Loss May Help

By Dennis Thompson HealthDay Reporter  (HealthDay News) — Older people with a weight problem can relieve knee pain from osteoarthritis if they lose just 10 percent of their body weight through diet and exercise, a new study finds. Overweight and obese people 55 or older who participated in a diet and exercise program reported less pain, better knee function, improved mobility and enhanced quality of life when they dropped one-tenth of their weight, according to the study in the Sept. 25 Journal of the American Medical Association . “We’ve had a 162 percent increase in knee replacements over the last 20 years in people 65 and over, at a cost of $5 billion a year,” said lead author Stephen Messier. “From our standpoint, we think this would be at least a good way to delay knee replacements and possibly prevent some knee replacements.” The 18-month study followed up on earlier findings that showed a 5 percent weight loss decreased knee pain and increased function in olde
