A lighthouse guiding others through skies of blue.
Life’s too short for bitterness and strife,
For turning away from the light of life.
In the reflection of the waters, so serene,
See the person you’ve always been meant to be.
So, let’s not turn the good into something less,
Let’s build a world of happiness and kindness.
Where every soul, no matter how deep the scars,
Can find their way to the stars, unbound by bars.
Embrace this journey, with its ups and downs,
Wear your heart’s goodness like the noblest crowns.
For in the end, it’s love that weaves our story,
In a tapestry of light, in all its glory.
Let’s stop turning the good into negativity,
And walk together, towards a life of positivity.

Title: Unlocking the Secrets of the Vagus Nerve: A Key to Easing Anxiety and Releasing
the Nervous System
In the intricate dance of human biology, the vagus nerve plays a central role, affecting our emotional and physical wellbeing in profound ways. Often referred to as the “wandering nerve” for its extensive reach throughout the body, the vagus nerve is a crucial part of our parasympathetic nervous system—the rest and digest system. Its influence on our health and mood is vast, but of particular interest is its relationship with anxiety, stress, and the way our bodies respond to these states.
Understanding the Vagus Nerve
The vagus nerve is the tenth cranial nerve and the longest in the autonomic nervous system, extending from the brainstem through the neck and down into the chest and abdomen. It innervates various organs, including the heart, lungs, and digestive tract, hence playing a significant role in regulating heart rate, respiratory rates, and digestive processes. Beyond these physical functions, the vagus nerve is a key player in our emotional health, particularly in how we manage stress and anxiety.
Anxiety and the Nervous System
When we face stress or danger, our bodies typically react in a fight, flight, or freeze response, managed by the sympathetic nervous system. This reaction increases heart rate, blood pressure, and adrenaline levels, preparing the body to deal with the perceived threat. However, in the modern world, where stressors can be continuous and non-physical (like work pressure or personal conflicts), this response can become chronic, leading to anxiety and leaving our nervous system “stuck” in a state of heightened alertness.
The Role of the Polyvagal Theory
Developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the Polyvagal Theory offers a nuanced understanding of how the vagus nerve influences our response to stress and anxiety. According to this theory, there are three main states of the autonomic nervous system:
Safe and Social State (ventral vagal state): Governed by the ventral branch of the vagus nerve, this state promotes feelings of calm and safety, where social engagement is possible.
Fight or Flight State (sympathetic state): When a threat is perceived, the body switches to this state, preparing for defensive actions.
Freeze or Shutdown State (dorsal vagal state): Governed by the dorsal branch of the vagus nerve, this is a more primitive response, leading to feelings of numbness or dissociation when overwhelmed.
By navigating these states effectively, the body can maintain a balance, ensuring that the nervous system can adapt and respond to stress without becoming overwhelmed.
Stimulating the Vagus Nerve to Release the Nervous System
Research has shown that activating the vagus nerve can shift the nervous system out of the sympathetic state and into a calmer, ventral vagal state, thereby alleviating anxiety and its associated symptoms. Here are some practical ways to stimulate the vagus nerve:
Deep, Slow Breathing: Practices like diaphragmatic breathing or pranayama can activate the vagus nerve and promote relaxation.
Cold Exposure: Brief exposure to cold, such as splash of cold water on the face or cold showers, can stimulate the vagus nerve.
Singing, Humming, or Gargling: These activities can activate the muscles connected to the vagus nerve, encouraging relaxation.
Yoga and Meditation: Both practices are known to increase vagal tone, fostering a state of calm.
Physical Connection: Hugging, cuddling, or even petting animals can increase oxytocin levels and stimulate the vagus nerve.
Conclusion
The interplay between the vagus nerve, anxiety, and the polyvagal theory offers a compelling glimpse into the complex workings of our nervous system. By understanding and leveraging these relationships, we can find natural and effective ways to manage anxiety, encourage emotional well-being, and release our nervous system from the chronic states of alertness that modern life often provokes. Through simple, intentional practices, we have the power to tap into the healing potential of our own bodies, proving once again that sometimes, the keys to wellbeing lie within our reach, quietly waiting in the biology that binds us.

I am so proud of Angela expressing her beautiful work in her poetry. As an autism specialist I thought I would share my perspective on this piece. Please feel free to join in on this community and share your thoughts.
Here are mine :
Angelica Tao’s piece titled “Hidden,” though not directly shared, seems to address a poignant and deeply personal aspect of the autism experience: the phenomenon of “masking.” This term describes how some autistic individuals might feel compelled to suppress or hide their natural behaviors, feelings, or characteristics to conform to societal expectations or to avoid judgment and stigma. Through the lens of an autistic young adult, let’s explore the psychological impacts and implications of this theme as they might interpret and resonate with the piece:
Identity and Self-Perception
An autistic young adult may have a complex relationship with their identity, constantly navigating the terrain between their authentic self and the persona they adopt in public. They might relate deeply to the feeling of being “hidden,” as it echoes their daily experiences of having to mask their true thoughts, reactions, and behaviors. This ongoing negotiation can lead to feelings of isolation and confusion about one’s true self, as well as an intense longing for acceptance and understanding.
Emotional and Psychological Consequences
Masking can be mentally and emotionally exhausting, requiring constant vigilance and energy to monitor and adjust one’s behavior. An individual resonating with “Hidden” might experience a profound sense of fatigue and anxiety, stemming from the fear of being “discovered” or rejected for their natural tendencies. Moreover, this continuous suppression can lead to a deep sense of loneliness and misunderstanding, as the individual may feel that no one truly knows or accepts them for who they are.
The Desire for Connection
Despite the challenges, an underlying theme likely present in “Hidden” is the inherent human desire for connection and belonging. Autistic individuals, like anyone else, yearn for authentic relationships where they can be themselves without judgment. This piece might touch on the frustration and pain of feeling disconnected from others due to societal barriers and misconceptions about autism, coupled with a hopeful longing for environments where differences are celebrated rather than suppressed.
Advocacy and Empowerment
From a psychological standpoint, a piece like “Hidden” has the power to advocate for awareness and change by shedding light on the internal struggles faced by many autistic individuals. It can inspire empathy and understanding, encouraging society to reevaluate its norms and expectations to become more inclusive and accepting of neurodiversity. Furthermore, for autistic individuals themselves, relating to such a piece can be empowering, validating their feelings and experiences, and potentially motivating them to advocate for their rights and for broader societal acceptance.
Conclusion
“Hidden” is likely to strike a chord with autistic young adults on many levels, resonating with their experiences of masking, the emotional toll of feeling misunderstood, and their deeply-felt need for connection and acceptance. Through the prism of their unique perspective, this piece not only reflects their struggles but also highlights the broader need for a societal shift towards greater understanding, inclusion, and celebration of neurodiversity.
Intro The tournament was on March 2, 2024 at Spooky Nooks in Pennsylvania
While it was the same weekend as the Girls Field Hockey Tournament but the Special Needs Field Hockey Tournament played in the turf by the Volleyball Tournament to avoid the loud noises that some people had noise sensitivity. There are 3 teams like Able Athletics Field Hockey, Long Island All Starz and Pennsylvania Revs.
Each side had 2 groups while Pennsylvania had 3 groups which they had a large majority of participants playing in the tournament. Match 1 Teammates Nicole, Farrell, Lauren and Emily 3-1. The match started off with some passes along the team and Emily got the opening goal after the first 2 minutes. Then I ran back and fourth to put myself in a position to defend the other team to score. Ian did an excellent job blocking the ball kicked it away. They’re times when Pennsylvania tried to score but nothing happened. I often passed it to Nicole and then passed it back to me and roll it to Emily which she ran and I ran to the front side of the field. Emily did a great pass to Farrell and passed it to me. I thought I was gonna score but the ball shifted to Lauren and she was able to get the last second pass to score another goal for the All Starz which it worked out well. I also give Lauren a high five because I didn’t realise it was going to be me and Lauren to score the second goal. Afterwards, I did a lot of the running back and fourth from offense to defense. It was a lot of work but I used my energy to make every move. I had everything right to block the ball so I can give it to my teammates but Pennsylvania Revs got the goal which I was just a few inches short to block the ball with my stick. Afterwards we did some passing and I moved up front and got the 3rd and final goal of the first game. I was out of energy and took a break from the tournament because I did a lot of the running then most of the team throughout the tournament.
After a water break and a group photo, Coach Alexa and my mom pointed out that there’s Former Olympic Athlete Keli Smith Puzo. I was able to meet and greet her for the honor to meet a former Olympian. I also took a photo with her which I told her everything about what was life like in the Olympics Team and the experience of playing for Team USA. Afterwards, the team had a meeting and watch group 2 of the All Starz played against Able Field Hockey of Westchester. We cheered and supported them with every effort before our next game.
When the second match began, we played another group of the Pennsylvania Revs Team. I passed to Nicole, and passed it back to me and I give it to Emily. She ran the ball all the way to the other side of the field and got the early goal. Then, Pennsylvania worked on the offense to get some shots on target but I was able to make some great blocks. Nicole was able to block the ball at one point when I wasn’t able to reach to the defender side. While I was able to pass it back to Lauren she was able to pass it to Nicole then Emily and give it to Farrell to score another goal for the All Starz. Therefore, the Revs decided to find a new way to get some passes and it work, while they get the chance of everyone getting the ball, I almost missed the block but Ian was able to save from going in. Then I was able to get the get the shot on goal but it was too close to call. Nicole was able to pass it to Lauren then Emily and back to me which I had a couple of close calls with the net. While I passed it to Nicole and give to Emily to Farrell but it was a close call for shot on target. Afterwards, the referee give the All Starz and we’re awarded with the free hit. I took a nice slap with my stick and I was able to score the goal for the All Starz. Afterwards, I was able to try to defend myself from them to score but it was fair that the Revs got one which there was nothing for me to block it in time. The Pennsylvania team cheered and celebrated the goal because they were able to finish the job. Then, the All Starz worked on the passing and ran around the field and Emily scored the last goal in the last minute before the game ended. The last minute was mostly passing from offense and defense but I almost got another goal but went a few inches off the left side of the goal post. The match ended and there was high fives and handshakes for good sportsmanship to wrapped up the game.
When the tournament was over, all of the teams came into the turf to sit down with the group. Our team decided to go for penalty shootout against Ian the Goalie. When it was by turn, I wack my stick and got in the goal and I was proud of myself. Afterwards, the whole group sit down and we socialized with our teammates before the Ceremony started. When the ceremony started, Coach Alexa did the announcements to award each athlete and everyone got themselves a medal and an All Starz T Shirt with a certificate from Sally Goggin. Afterwards the whole group took a team photo with our certificates and medals for our great experience playing in the Field Hockey Tournaments.
Afterwards, I was able to meet the Former Olympic Athlete Stefaine Fee who played for Team USA in 2016. I talked to her about everything about life when she used to be in the Hockey Team. I also encouraged that people should expand the interest in this sport. One day, people with disabilities can expand the sport and hopefully bring it to the Special Olympics in the United States and maybe possibly expand around the globe. I also had a great time talking to Sally with the effort of this sport growing in the USA. Hopefully it would be a popular sport for this generation of all ages who would love to play with their passion.
In conclusion, field hockey is expected to become more popular in the US in the future. Even though girls appear to love this sport, it would be fantastic to extend both the boys’ league and the sport to include more people with special needs. If they can strive to make the sport thrilling with the incredible experience, the United States Field Hockey Team has the potential to become the greatest Field Hockey Team in the world one day.
When I write, I enjoy making connections that not everyone sees. How can a bunny be angry? Bunnies are usually so sweet! It’s a dichotomy that most would pass by and wouldn’t bother to explore. The harder the better! With more difficult connections, there is a satisfaction knowing that maybe I did create something new.

The future of Science
Science had many reasons to find hope for curing hearing loss but there’s currently no evidence to fix the situation but there are other ways to manage your tinnitus and hearing loss.
The reasons most people
When you enjoy going to events that are loud young people unfortunately don’t realise the danger of tinnitus or hearing loss which could be that they spent most of their time watching loud videos on YouTube or going to concerts or nightclubs without wearing earplugs.
Loud music
Many of these become exceedingly complex at low volumes that it is simply not possible to appreciate them. Put simply, it’s easier to notice the subtleties while loud music is playing. The music usually sounds better when one can hear more details and distinguish between distinct sounds. The night is just getting started on this Friday at 9 p.m. You’re all set to have fun dancing with your pals. As soon as you enter the nightclub of your choice—with your wristband and hand stamped, naturally—you’ll see that colored lights are flashing in time with the music. The dance floor is being heated by the dancers. Your chest is filled with bass. Move to the music’s invitation. Ever wonder why going to a rowdy club or rock concert is extremely fun? Have you ever questioned why you enjoy loud music? Fortunately, the solutions are right here. Now let’s get started. It is well known that listening to loud music can lead to many issues such as tinnitus, impairment of hearing, and even loss of hearing. However, we still find ourselves belting out songs while stuck in traffic, making our way to a bar, or becoming giddy at live performances. What makes us do it, then? What is it about loud music that gives us such a sense of aliveness? The inner ear contains the sacculus (pronounced sack-you-less). It is unique in that it is directly connected to the brain’s pleasure regions. Loud music stimulates the release of endorphins, so loud music listening is effectively self-medication. Doctors had research indicates that the sacculus prefers low frequencies (bass, basically) above 90 dB. Ironically, there was a time when it was thought the sacculus served no functional purpose. They had no idea that it was the source of our happiness when we listen to music! Another myth is that loud music—which is often heard at 120–140 decibels—does not harm listening ears unless it is painful. However, hearing loss can occur at low decibel levels, even as low as 85, particularly if this amplitude is continuously exposed to. A typical lawnmower is 100 dB, while clubs typically play music that is louder than 115 decibels. After eight hours of listening at this intensity, people may sustain serious harm. Even if you’re not standing close to the speaker, this could still be ringing in your ears. Not only that, but if you’re not careful, the ringing can last a lifetime. Regularly listening to loud music might cause hearing damage. Playing loud music through your headphones could still be dangerous, even if you don’t attend concerts regularly. But we understand. Giving up loud music listening can be challenging. It makes sense, too, since a study indicated that loud music-related addictive behaviors were more frequently observed among non-professional rock and pop band members than in control people.
Social
At Social Events, There are many decisions to make while going to a party or other social gathering, such as what to wear, what to bring, who to go with, and when to arrive. In addition, you might want to think about whether you can follow the conversation if you have hearing loss. In the best of situations, it can be difficult for someone with hearing loss to listen to and comprehend people in a crowd. The noise of dishes clattering around and the music bouncing off the walls can make listening a taxing endeavor. Parties, however, can also be a lot of fun. They offer an opportunity to let go, catch up with old friends and make new ones, dance, and enjoy life. Don’t let your hearing loss stop you from going to social gatherings if you enjoy good food, drink, and company. Just empower yourself with these strategies for improving hearing and reducing anxiety in loud settings. You can have a conversation in the garden or a couch with a place that is noise free to have a quick conversation or needed a break from the party. Sadly, not all of them can be outside events. The majority of social events take place indoors, and as the night goes on, the noise level increases. If you have social occasions that require a lot of listening on your part, try to arrive early and leave before you become too exhausted. Large dinners in clattery, expansive restaurants, parties with live music, and get-togethers at boisterous bars may provide greater issues in terms of competing background noise. Take it slow and give yourself “listening breaks.” Pace yourself when it comes to how much you drink and how much you chat if you’re going to be at a party for a few hours. If you drink too much alcohol too soon, it will wear you out and make it harder for you to understand other people. In a similar vein, you will quickly become exhausted attempting to keep up with talks in an area with loud noises. Make sure you occasionally give yourself short listening breaks, withdraw to a quieter place for a one-on-one talk, or just some alone time, to maintain your energy and lower stress levels.
Science around the globe
The research team focused on a specific type of drug that activates a protein called Notch, which plays a key role in the development of hair cells in the inner ear. They found that by administering this drug to adult mice with noise-induced hearing loss, they were able to stimulate nearby cells to differentiate into new hair cells, leading to a significant improvement in hearing.
This breakthrough has the potential to revolutionize the field of hearing loss treatment, as current approaches mainly focus on amplification devices or cochlear implants, which can only partially restore hearing. By targeting the regeneration of hair cells, researchers may be able to fully restore hearing function in individuals with noise-induced or age-related hearing loss.
While further research is needed to refine this approach and develop effective therapies for human use, this study represents a major step forward in the quest to reverse deafness and improve the quality of life for individuals with hearing loss. The researchers are hopeful that their findings will ultimately lead to the development of new treatments that can restore hearing in patients with irreversible hearing damage.
In this study, researchers were able to successfully regenerate hair cells in the cochlea of mice by using a combination of small molecules to stimulate supporting cells in the cochlea to become new hair cells. The regrown hair cells were able to function properly and improve hearing in the mice.
This research provides hope for the development of new treatments for hearing loss in humans. The ability to regenerate hair cells in the cochlea could potentially lead to a cure for sensorineural hearing loss, which currently has no known cure. Further studies will be needed to refine this technique and determine its safety and effectiveness in humans, but the results of this study are a promising step forward in the field of hearing restoration.
Overall, the ability to regenerate hair cells in the cochlea and improve hearing in mice offers hope for the development of new treatments for hearing loss in humans. This research has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of millions of individuals affected by hearing loss worldwide.
The researchers believe that this discovery could have significant implications for the treatment of hearing loss in humans. By targeting the Notch signaling pathway with the drug, they were able to stimulate the regeneration of hair cells in the cochlea of deaf mice. This suggests that a similar approach could potentially be used to restore hearing in humans who have lost their hair cells due to age, noise exposure, or other causes.
Further research will be needed to determine whether this drug or a similar compound could be safely and effectively used in humans. However, these initial findings are promising and offer hope for the development of new treatments for hearing loss. The researchers plan to continue studying the mechanisms involved in hair cell regeneration and to explore potential therapeutic applications for this discovery.
Overall, this study represents a major advancement in the field of regenerative medicine and could ultimately lead to new treatment options for individuals with hearing loss. The researchers are optimistic about the potential of hair cell regeneration as a future therapy for deafness, and their work provides a solid foundation for further research in this area.
Doctors of the Future
The findings, published in the journal Cell Reports, offer promise for developing potential treatments for hearing loss in humans. Hair cells in the inner ear are crucial for translating sound vibrations into electrical signals that the brain can interpret, so regenerating them could potentially restore hearing function in individuals with hearing loss.
The cocktail of molecules used in the study activated a series of genetic pathways that led to the conversion of supporting cells in the inner ear into fully functional hair cells. This approach could potentially be used to reverse the damage caused by aging, noise exposure, or genetic factors that can lead to hearing loss.
While more research is needed to further refine and test this approach, the researchers are hopeful that their findings could one day lead to new treatment options for individuals with hearing loss. This study represents an important step towards developing regenerative therapies for hearing loss and improving quality of life for millions of people around the world. Dr. Zheng-Yi Chen, was the worlds best scientist who discovered to cure tinnitus but even though there’s no actual cure which the molecular mechanisms that regulate the development and regeneration of hair cells, Dr. Chen aims to identify potential drug targets and gene therapy strategies for treating hearing loss.
In addition to studying hair cell regeneration, Dr. Chen’s research also focuses on age-related and noise-induced hearing loss. He investigates how aging and exposure to loud noises can lead to damage and degeneration of the inner ear, and aims to develop novel therapeutics to prevent or reverse these processes.
Furthermore, Dr. Chen is interested in gene therapy for hereditary deafness, which is caused by mutations in specific genes that are critical for normal hearing. He is working towards developing gene therapy approaches to correct these mutations and restore hearing function in individuals affected by hereditary deafness.
Overall, Dr. Chen’s research is at the forefront of advancing our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of hearing loss, and holds great promise for the development of new treatments and therapies for individuals with hearing impairments.
Additionally, they are working to optimize the efficiency and safety of the gene therapy approach for treating hearing loss. With continued progress in this field, there is hope that gene therapy could become a viable option for patients suffering from various forms of hearing loss in the near future. This represents a significant advancement in the field of medicine and offers hope for those who have previously had limited treatment options for their condition.
Most Speciality Doctors are so Optimistic about the future of regenerating hair cells for people that are young who enjoyed loud music and old people that wanted clearer hearing or people with disabilities that have hearing problems throughout their lifetime. The results will hopefully allow it to the public somewhere around the late 2020s to early 2030s.
Around 600 BC, a poet in ancient Greece wrote about heated pancakes in one of his works, which is the earliest known mention of pancakes. The pancake breakfast is created in 1100 AD on Shrove Tuesday, also known as Pancake Day, when it becomes customary to use up dairy items before Lent.
The renowned pancake race was initiated by the villagers of Olney, Buckinghamshire, UK, in 1445. The church bell ringer gives the winner a kiss every year. The ammonia-containing new snow was employed by cooks in the 1700s to create pancakes light and fluffy in place of baking soda. Throughout the 1800s, brandy and wine were equally as popular as milk and occasionally cream when it came to making pancake batter. America is irrevocably altered in the 1870s when the flapjack is dubbed the pancake. In the 1880s: Maple syrup starts to gain popularity as a topping.
Why are pancakes an essential morning meal for the majority of Americans? Serving pancakes for dinner was customary throughout the American Revolution. These early afternoon pancakes were more like crepes. Cooks began adding pearl ash, or what is now known as baking soda, as a rising agent in the 1780s, which made the pancakes thick and fluffy and filled with flavor. This made it possible for frontier cooks to enjoy a meal akin to a break before starting their morning’s agricultural labor. The heavier pancakes were never very popular as a dinner dish.
On September 26, National Pancake Day, the 500-year-old delicacy takes center stage at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Pancakes can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways. Pancakes are a fluffy delight, whether they’re made at home or at your local cafe or restaurant. 34% of Americans like pancakes, 5% hate them, and 59% of Americans adore them, according to a 2021 study by international marketing agency Top Agency. Pancake hatred is only 2%.
Our team did a pancake showdown to enjoy different varieties of pancakes.
We all tried to use gluten free ingredients and dairy free options to make it a bit healthier for all of us.
The story started off when everyone was frozen while the epilogue scene of Meanwhile which was the series finale in 2013 but alternating the future and the important lesson that everyone is back for a revival series 10 years later. Some of the cast as change their tones while sounds. While Resuming where the previous episode left off, the cosmos is eternally frozen. Resetting the cosmos to the instant when time stood still, Professor Farnsworth enters a time warp and presses the time button. The other members of the Planet Express Crew are perplexed, while Fry and Leela are brought back to their younger ages but lose all memory of their wedding.
The Main Plot was that the whole crew went back to Planet Express while Fry was fractal that he’s been in the 31st Century for a long time after he checked the calendar. It has been 23 years and felt like he hasn’t achieved something. Bender laughed at his pain while Fry stand up for something to create a goal and Leela slapped at Bender which he supposed to support for him by not laugh and point but he does it again and slaps Zoidberg by accident. The next scene was when Fry was thinking to create a goal, Bender turned on the TV and Fry thought of an idea by watching every TV show ever. While Bender scrolled the tv remote to pass through the guide, Fry stood up and wanted to watch every show like Fulu which is the parody of Hulu. Then Leela decided to support Fry’s goal which she didn’t believe at first which she asked Fry to go for it. Fry started off with the Scary Mirror, then The Great Neptuian BAM-OFF, and HUMORBOT 5.0 Stand Up Special. Afterwards, came back to the meeting to tell everyone he had finished watch All My Circuits until Bedner told that it got cancelled like 3 or 4 times. He got upset that he would never watch over 13,020 episodes after 10 years. Leela thought it would work but it sounds risky which it was called Bingeing. The Professer warned Fry about the dangers of Bingeing which Fry wanted to take the risk anyway.
Later on Fry, has wore the still suit and add all of the technology to watch All My Circuits. After a month of binging, Fry hasn’t move while The Professor used his sensor assault and it was both TV Signal and Fry’s Brainwaves. It could be possible that Fry has been losing touch with reality. Fry would become a vegetable if he runs out of episodes for the dangers of bingeing. Leela realise it was some way her fault but mostly Fry to full for his dreams after the professor cut her ponytail. Leela thought it would be a great idea to bring back All My Circuits on a streaming site since cable broadcasting won’t bring them back. Leela and Bender went to Fulu Headquarters while she punched a security guard and Bender solutes him. Once they reached to the Fulu Executives Office the 3 TV Excurobots, Bender and Leela asked them to bring back All My Circuits which they give them a pass until a new data correction that one viewer wanted to request to bring back the series. They’re delighted that to bring the green light project to resume the program. While Calculon was stuck in Robot Hell with the Robot Devil, he got a call to get back on set and the Robot Devil finally had enough of his shenanigans and sent him into the resurrection cannon. While everyone is back on the show, Calculon wanted to find his assistant which Bender decided to help him out and served him coffee. The Professor called Leela to let her know that Fry was down to a few more which he won’t survive by lunch if they don’t launch new episodes.
While resuming episodes of All My Circuits, Leela asked the Professor to do as much episodes as possible. Then they have to double speed the line of the episodes. After one scene was cut, Calculon noticed that the writers has stopped writing scripts for the episodes so Bender decided to take over the Writers’ Room. While using the line “Bender is Great” it was on the script of the episode but then the Director of the show got a heart attack so Leela took the executive producer’s job to wrapped up the episode. It didn’t last when the Execubots came in for some constructive criticism. They told them the show is cancelled which both Bender and Leela gasped which the set has been destroyed. Leela got upset because Fry wouldn’t make it alive. Then Leela called The Professor that the show got cancelled so he asked her to bring in the actors to Planet Express. Meanwhile, the cast performed an episode for Fry to recap the series finale. He had to shift his focus from the streaming world back to the real world which it sounds like a dangerous situation but it might slowly gradually shift the focus. Leela wanted Calculon to perform a live performance like the Milwaukee Shakespeare Festival. As the crew performed an act, they gradually began to use the audio from fast to normal phase. After Bender accidentally just the cigar to burn the basket and caused to burn Fry which it made worse when Amy accidentally use Battery Acid while Hermes asked her to stop which he was burned into pieces. Leela wailed that Fry was gone because she encouraged him to use his hopes and dreams which she felt stupid about the decision. Fry eventually came into the room and asked everyone about the commotion. Leela was happy that Fry was alive and he told everyone that he left the suit 2 days ago because he wanted to head back to reading. He told everyone that the show was becoming unwatchable and the writers became downright desperate towards the end. The lesson was to take responsibility of how much time your watching tv which would effect your brain.
The epilogue scene was when Fry went to the White House for the Presidential Summit to educate the lesson on the dangers of streaming television. He also told the viewers to not reboot a show if the quality is not as good. He also stated that viewers must binge responsibly, like smoking, alcohol or bleach which he states that they should watch no more than 10 episodes in a row or at least less than average. Fry wanted to think that the show who cares about the audience must be canceled every few years or if wiling to reboot a show every 5 to 10 years or more which it sounds like the right thing to do. Afterwards, he thanked his viewers and walked off the court room. The lesson is that if you enjoy watching tv, you should watch tv or movie no more than half of the day because it would drain our energy and not realising the loss of touching reality of the real world like going outside or play a sport that you enjoy.
