The Happiness Project Toolbox Genes Hold The Key To How Happy We Are, Scientists Say Happiness in life is as much down to having the right genetic mix as it is to personal circumstances according to a recent study. Psychologists at the University of Edinburgh working with researchers at Queensland Institute for Medical Research in Australia found that happiness is partly determined by personality traits and that both personality and happiness are largely hereditary. Using a framework which psychologists use to rate personalities, called the Five-Factor Model, the researchers found that people who do not excessively worry, and who are sociable and conscientious tend to be happier. They suggested that this personality mix can act as a buffer when bad things happen, according to the study published in the March issue of Psychological Science. The researchers used personality and happiness data on more than 900 twin pairs.

Happiness Lengthens Life Happiness does not heal, but happiness protects against falling ill. As a result, happy people live longer. The size of the effect on longevity is comparable to that of smoking or not. This is concluded from an analysis of 30 follow-up studies published in a recent issue of the Journal of Happiness Studies. There have been more reports of happy people living longer, but for long it was unclear whether happiness causes longevity, since it can also be that good health add both to happiness and longevity. Scientists assess causality using long-term follow-up studies, taking initial health into account. Happiness does not lengthen the life of seriously ill people, but it does prolong the life of healthy people. Another possible mechanism is that happiness adds to the chance of adopting a healthy life style. An implication of this finding is that public health can also be promoted by policies that aim at greater happiness for a greater number.
One VPN To Rule Them All! June 18, 2014 | By Jean Taggart | | Share If you want to anonymize your traffic, one of the most common solutions available is to use a commercial VPN (Virtual Private Network) service. A VPN allows you to establish an encrypted tunnel over the Internet, and have your traffic exit out of a server on the VPN network. This exit point is usually configured to be in another country. Routing your traffic through such a service is what provides you with a certain level of privacy. To prying eyes, your traffic will appear to be emanating from a server on the network of the VPN service, therefore masking your location and somewhat protecting your personal identity. As more and more users are expressing concern over tracking and a desire to retain some privacy on the Internet, VPN services, once limited to the realm of IT savvy telecommuting employees, are now seeing increased adoption by non-IT users. Most VPN services also have a limit to how many devices can connect, per account, simultaneously.
