Calvin & Hobbes Search Engine - by Bing I have always been a big fan of Calvin & Hobbes comics, and their author, Bill Watterson. Since discovering the complete script online, as well as a collection of every daily strip on another website, I knew I could make the two reference each other and therefore create a "Calvin & Hobbes Search Engine" for lack of a better name. So I set out to do it. Currently the search only looks for EXACT phrases (not case sensitive), so if you're looking for a comic with the words "balloon" and "airplane" you cannot enter them both, or it will search for "balloon airplane" together. There is one exception though!

Tips for Breaking Bad Habits and Developing Good Habits Most of life is habitual. You do the same things you did yesterday, the day before and every day for the last month. It’s estimated that out of every 11,000 signals we receive from our senses, our brain only consciously processes 40. Habits, good or bad, make you who you are. The key is controlling them. If you know how to change your habits, then even a small effort can create big changes. I’ve been using these techniques for years to re-engineer many aspects of my life. Here are some tips to get you started: One Habit For 30 Days – Steve Pavlina, popularized the 30 Day Trial. Use a Trigger – A trigger is a short ritual you perform before a habit. Replace Lost Needs – If you opened up your computer and started removing hardware, what would happen. One Habit at a Time – A month may seem like a long time to focus on only one change, but I’ve found trying to change more than a few habits at a time to be reckless. Write it Down – Don’t leave commitments in your brain. Image by acqyr

The 3 R's of Habit Change: How To Start New Habits That Actually Stick Your life today is essentially the sum of your habits. How in shape or out of shape you are? A result of your habits. How happy or unhappy you are? How successful or unsuccessful you are? What you repeatedly do (i.e. what you spend time thinking about and doing each day) ultimately forms the person you are, the things you believe, and the personality that you portray. But what if you want to improve? Turns out, there’s a helpful framework that can make it easier to stick to new habits so that you can improve your health, your work, and your life in general. Let’s talk about that framework now… The 3 R’s of Habit Change Every habit you have — good or bad — follows the same 3–step pattern. Reminder (the trigger that initiates the behavior)Routine (the behavior itself; the action you take)Reward (the benefit you gain from doing the behavior) I call this framework “The 3 R’s of Habit Change,” but I didn’t come up with this pattern on my own. Regardless, don’t get hung up on the terminology.

Why you might be counting in the wrong language - BBC Future Both groups had the same levels of accuracy in terms of their final eye position, but when the numbers were spoken rather than written down, the Dutch subjects were more likely to look towards the position of the inverted number first. So, if asked to look at 94, their eyes might first flick towards 49. The English subjects almost never made such movements. The results are surprising, because it’s assumed that by the time we are adults, number names have been automated, so language doesn’t affect how we process them. But even though both groups performed the same on a test of basic maths ability, it’s possible that the less transparent system could make maths that little bit harder for the Dutch speakers. “The effects are small, and yet this is numeracy at its most basic, just estimating a number on a line,” explains Xenidou-Dervou. So, given that more transparent counting systems seem to make it easier for us to process numbers, what does this mean for how we teach maths to children?

How to Build Self-Discipline in 4 Easy Steps Harry S. Truman once said, “In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves… self-discipline with all of them came first”. But for the rest of us, self-discipline often comes second… if at all. Every day, we admit defeat to self-indulgence when we choose to snooze over waking up early, watch T.V. instead of study and eat junk food when we should exercise. There’s no doubt about it: if you want to achieve your goals, be it lose 14 pounds, write a best-selling children’s book, start a non-profit or enroll on an online class, you need to build self-discipline. But self-discipline isn’t something we should be afraid of and contrary to popular belief, it isn’t that difficult to build… Once you know how. Step 1: Start with ONE Habit Success in life and work is built sequentially – ONE habit at a time. But this doesn’t work because trying to fix everything at once is like building Rome in a day. So, instead, just concentrate on changing ONE habit.

What Languages Do Bilinguals Count In? Post written by Aneta Pavlenko. It is often said that bilinguals continue using their first language for simple arithmetic operations, such as addition or multiplication, long after they shifted to the second language in other domains. I am not an exception to this phenomenon. After two decades in the U.S., I live, lecture, and write in English but when it comes to balancing my checkbook, calculating a tip, or counting the number of reps at the gym, I often switch to Russian. Do others also count in their first language while living in the second, and if so, why? And what does this adherence mean for kids who study math in a second language or shift languages mid-way through the schooling process? article continues after advertisement To study the relationship between bilingualism and numerical cognition, researchers commonly use experimental tasks that range from number recall to complex mathematical problems. For a full list of "Life as a bilingual" blog posts by content area, see here.
