Holy shit was that a Niffler?

The new Fantastic Beasts trailer has landed, leaving us all speechless, covered in goosebumps, and full of questions.

Is “Hedwig’s Theme” in the trailer just to fuck with everyone and make us cry?

Does this mean that we won’t have to hear the word No-Maj as much as we’d feared?

Does this mean that we won't have to hear the word No-Maj as much as we'd feared?

Newt definitely says Muggle, ‘coz he’s British so hopefully he can persuade the rest of them to ditch “No-Maj”.

3 Ways to Tell Your Co-Workers ‘No’ When on a Diet

http://www.blackenterprise.com/lifestyle/ways-to-tell-co-workers-no-when-on-diet/

The following was written by Daris Wilson:

We’ve all heard the criticism from those within our circle when it comes to making the decision to get healthy and in shape.

Truth be told, it can sometimes feel like you’re being sabotaged. I can see and hear it now from the office politics trying to pry you away from your lean protein and veggies.

“You look fine to me,” or “This one time won’t hurt.”

If this is you, have no fear as you’ll be armed with the best ammo to get you out of that sticky situation and avoid the 2 p.m. sugar attack that’s inevitable if you decide to ‘grab that slice’ or a burrito from Chipotle.

Here are my best three tips for telling your co-workers “no” when aligning with your healthiest self:

1. Blame it on the budget: Being that finances are far more taboo than sex in this country, your coast will be quite clear from any lunch date invitations (at least until pay day). Be sure to share the importance of you becoming disciplined in your finances as well as your health (Or a simply, “I’m cutting back on spending,” should do the trick.)

2. Have your gym bag ready: By this time, you’re probably noticing a pattern of the time co-workers are heading to lunch. Place your gym bag on the desk and take one step further by heading to the gym for a 35-40 minute high intensity interval training (H.I.I.T.) session followed by your healthy, prepared lunch you’ve packed.

3. Build in your treat (not cheat)* meal: The reality is this, food is far more than just nourishment in our society; it’s culture. It’s an opportunity to be with those we love and like. With that being said, there should be a time to join your comrades for lunch without destroying your diet. You can follow these steps to do just that:

  • Have a protein-rich snack like a protein shake 1-2 hours before lunch.
  • Take a look at the online menu of the restaurant and choose your meal before stepping foot into the restaurant.
  • Once seated, say no to the bread and opt for water and side salad.
  • Be first to order food so you’re not influenced by co-workers’ non-diet-friendly choices.
  • Enjoy your food and the company you keep!

Now that you’re equipped with your verbal ammo, I want to encourage you to continue to stick to the script and lead from in front. You never know, your co-workers may soon be joining you for a lunch break at the gym.

*We use the term treat meal vs. cheat meal to emphasize the point that we do not cheat on things we honor, love, and respect, i.e. body and training program. We “treat”ourselves which will enhance the relationship between self and nutrition.

5 Apps to Help Relieve Stress in the Workplace

http://www.blackenterprise.com/lifestyle/5-apps-to-help-relieve-stress-in-the-workplace/

Millennials are more ambitious than ever and with everything on their plate, it can be stressful managing it all. Thankfully, there’s an app for that.

As a busy, young entrepreneur in ‘Silicon Harlem,’ John Henry came to New York from his home state of Florida, as a jazz musician and student. After taking advantage of a business opportunity he received as a doorman, he ultimately built and led his first company, an on-demand laundry startup, to an early acquisition within two years.

Throughout the last four years, Henry has worked with early-stage companies as founder and managing director at Cofound Harlem, an impact investment accelerator, and head of AREA, a real-estate tech accelerator and seed-stage VC Firm.

Below, he shares his top apps for relieving stress in the workplace with BlackEnterprise.com:

1. Slack — Slack is a messaging service with teams that can be used to keep projects organized. “It’s become such a staple for communication. All our portfolio companies and partners are on there. 1 of our rules is to always be logged in. It goes a long way for stress-management to have everything in one place,” John shared.

2. My Fitness Pal — “Staying healthy is a must, so I use this app to count calories, track fitness goals, etc.,” says John. With this app, powered by Under Armour, you can keep track of your calories, workouts, and much more. Once you fill out your profile, you get suggested nutritional and fitness plans catered to your goals.

3. Croissant — “This app is a lifesaver! I’m constantly on the go, so this app consolidates all of the co-working spaces across the city into one, simple membership for $99. Truly incredible product,” Henry shares. With 25 locations, snacks, coffee, and the ability to work around other entrepreneurs, Croissant simplifies the stress of looking for a place to work when time is of the essence.

4. Mint — As the mismanagement of funds can be the cause of stress, being able to see your accounts in one location can help to put one’s mind at ease. Henry explains,  “Although I wish there was  a tool to consolidate all bill payments, Mint is still a fantastic tool to manage my finances. I can track my spending, know when/if I’m splurging too much, and forecast around certain bill cycles.”

5. Uber — “Last, but definitely not least. When it comes to getting around with convenience, reliability, and style — there’s no better option than Uber. I try to hail a cab when I can, since it’s more economic, but more often than not the NYC millennial lifestyle lends itself more naturally to an UBER. Does your date have high heels on and doesn’t want to walk? Uber. New Years Eve? Uber. It’s raining? Uber,” John effused.
