There are thousands of gangs in Texas, but only a dozen are considered such a threat to this state’s prison system that all members, regardless of their crimes. are required to serve all their time isolated in one-man cells for 23 or more hours a day. Unlike other prisoners, they are not allowed to walk the yard or even have a prison job picking cotton or vegetables.

News 92 FM - Photos du journal. The Psychology of Self-Control. By Maria Popova “Everyone’s self-control is a limited resource; it’s like muscle strength: the more we use it, the less remains in the tank, until we replenish it with rest.” Ever since psychology godfather William James first expounded the crucial role of habit in how we live and who we become, modern psychology has sought to figure out how we can rewire our bad habits, maximize our willpower, and use habits to optimize our productivity.

And yet, if the market for self-help books and to-do apps and productivity tools is any indication, a great many of us still struggle with either understanding the psychology of habit and willpower or applying it to what really matters. In Making Habits, Breaking Habits: Why We Do Things, Why We Don’t, and How to Make Any Change Stick (public library), psychologist Jeremy Dean illuminates an important common misconception about how willpower shapes our habits and behaviors: Donating = Loving Brain Pickings has a free weekly newsletter.

By Maria Popova A tender lesson in living with loss from Little Owl. If grief is so gargantuan a struggle even for grownups, how are tiny humans to handle a weight so monumental once it presses down?

That’s precisely what writer Casey Rislov, who holds a master’s degree in elementary education and has an intense interest in special needs, and Minneapolis-based children’s book illustrator Rachel Balsaits explore in Love is Forever (public library) — the story of Little Owl, who loves her Grandfather Owl very much, and how she, with the help of her parents and baby brother, deals with the sadness of her grandfather’s death by learning to keep his love alive forever. In sweet verses and tender illustrations, the story unpacks with elegant simplicity the complexities of loss and presents a refreshing outlier as one of those rare children’s books that go beyond not shying away from darker subjects and actually tackle them head-on.

Need a quick summary of an article? Your Mac can do that, without the need for extra software – and you’ll find all sorts of OS X features you’ve been overlooking in the process. Summary Service isn’t new to OS X. It’s been around since the early days of OS X, but it’s buried in a menu you probably never look at – the services menu, one of many . Don’t know about the services menu? Yeah, that thing. Summarize Any Text If Summary Service is enabled, using it is simple. You can calibrate, on percentage scale, how much of the text you want to see.

As great as sex can be… it really f*cking sucks when it’s terrible. We’ve all had that one awful experience that’s stuck with us since the incident occurred. The PTSD is very real.

The faster you want it to be over, the harder you must fake it. Sure, this has damaging repercussions for the other person as he won’t be aware of how terrible the experience is and, as a result, will never realize he needs serious improvement. But guess what?
