SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Most single parents aren’t just surviving — they’re thriving. According to a new survey, about two-thirds of single parents experience what they call a post-breakup “glow up”. The survey of 1,000 single mothers and 1,000 single fathers found that the end of a relationship can trigger remarkable personal growth. For example, 57% of single parents said they have experienced newfound confidence in their identity. 52% said they feel better about themselves than ever before, and 51% described finally becoming comfortable in their own skin.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Sam Nivola has come clean. The “White Lotus” star admitted in an interview that he broke a nondisclosure agreement by warning some of his loved ones about his shocking sex scene in the HBO series. He said to Variety: “I told my parents, but I haven’t told my sister. She’s bad at keeping secrets.” Nivola, who is the son of actors Alessandro Nivola and Emily Mortimer, acknowledged he was “not supposed to have told anyone”, because he signed “a lot of NDAs” while working on the show. However, he also gave his girlfriend, Iris Apatow, a heads-up while on location in Thailand for Season 3.
Peacock has found its ‘Pamela Voorhees’ for the highly anticipated “Friday the 13th” prequel series, “Crystal Lake.” Linda Cardellini will play ‘Jason Voorhees’’ mom. Last month, it was leaked that Cardellini was in talks to play the role, which was originally being eyed by Charlize Theron. Best known for her role in “Freaks and Geeks,” Cardellini also starred in the Netflix original “Dead To Me,” a role which earned her an Emmy nomination. Little is known about the upcoming series — other than it is set in the immediate aftermath Jason Voorhees’ drowning as a young child.
Kevin Hart is set to star in “72 Hours,” an upcoming comedy directed by “Ride Along” filmmaker Tim Story. Hart will play a 40-year-old executive who hopes to save his flailing career by joining a group of 20-somethings on a 3-day bachelor party, after he’s accidentally added to their group text. 72 Hours is being produced under a deal between Sony and Netflix in which Sony will offer Netflix a first look at any films it intends to make for streaming. Hart is also co-producing.

While there is no shortage of professional advice out there about the kinds of foods you should be eating to improve your health, not many experts touch on the speed at which we eat, which might matter just as much. Risks associated with eating too fast include the possibility of “stuck food” in the esophagus, inhaling air, which can lead to a bloated feeling, indigestion, and the potential of obesity, thanks to overeating before your brain realizes you’re full. Scientists say that if you’re the type who regularly polishes off breakfast, lunch or dinner in less than 20-30 minutes, you’re eating too fast. Leslie Heinberg, dietary expert at the Center for Behavioral Health at the Cleveland Clinic, has these tips for those who need some help slowing down when we’re chowing down…
• Turn off the TV and lose the phone: They distract you from recognizing when you’re full. Besides, people tend to eat until there’s a commercial or the show is over, leading to eating too much.
• Try using your non-dominant hand to eat, or utensils that you’re not familiar with, in an effort at mindful eating. And take a break to slurp some water!
• Chew your food, just like mom told you to. That means taking more bites than you normally would.
• Be aware that it’s much easier (and faster) to eat ultra processed or fast foods quicker, because they typically have a softer texture. (Is that why they call ‘em ‘fast foods’?) Veggies and traditional proteins both require more chewing.

WEIRD NEWS
A Michelin chef has come up with a pudding which he says tastes like an ‘old book” – and he’s selling it at his restaurant for a pretty penny. Acclaimed pastry chef Jordi Roca detailed this “lit” dessert in a video cooking tutorial with over 635,000 views on TikTok. The co-owner of Spain’s 3 Michelin-starred restaurant El Celler de Can Roca has become known for creating desserts that blur the line between art and life. Roca came up with the idea after being fascinated by the smell of old books that you might find in a library, which he says “smell like mature paper.” He begins the process with this step, as detailed in the clip: “Spread the pages with deodorized butter and let it rest overnight so that it is impregnated with the smell of an old book…” The dish, which costs diners $362 per bowl, was concocted as a pre-dessert primer that’s eaten before tucking into the grand finale.

EMAIL MISTAKES:
Make the lives of everyone in your address book better by no longer making these email mistakes, according to the experts consulted by business mag Fast Company…
✗ Using ALL CAPS in the subject line: As you know, all-caps is the internet equivalent of yelling, and no one likes to be yelled at. Scammers use this technique to convince people to open the email, and it’s no longer effective.
✗ Unclear subject lines: Don’t put something generic in the subject line, like “Hi.” If the subject isn’t clear, it can be difficult for the receiver to refer back to that email. And don’t forget to change the subject line if the conversation shifts during follow-up replies.
✗ Not Using Cc and Bcc: FYI, adding people in the “to” section means that a reply is expected. “cc” informs recipients that they are being informed, but no action is required. “bcc” lets recipients know that their involvement as bystanders is secret.
✗ Common courtesy: Do not write too much or too little. A short email is good, as long as it covers what needs to be covered. And always close with an expression of gratitude, such as “Thanks”, or even better, “Thanks in advance”. These sign-offs increase response rate by 36%.
✗ Sending emails on a Monday: While it’s not strictly wrong to do this, keep in mind recipients aren’t always in the best mood on that day, and are more prone to making mistakes. Maybe wait for Tuesday, unless it’s urgent.
✗ Expecting an immediate response: Some people forget that email and texting are not the same thing. When sending a non-urgent email, remember that the recipient might have other important things to do — and they may not even see your message for hours – or more.
