Why I Tell My Clients to Eat Marshmallows

You may have heard of the marshmallow study, a 1960s psychological

Eat one marshmallow right now, or wait a short time and get to eat two
marshmallows. Researchers tracked the children into adulthood and
found that those who delayed gratification and waited for the two
marshmallows were more successful students and adults.

Tropical Storm Milton is gathering strength in the Gulf of Mexico and

many tropical systems, it will move west to east over much of the Gulf

The Echoes of Loss and Legacy as the N.H.L. Returns - The New Yorker

In 1981, Wayne Gretzky, playing for the Edmonton Oilers, broke the
single-season N.H.L. points record, finishing with a hundred and
sixty-four points in his second-ever season in the league. He was, at
the time, twenty years old, and small even in pads, yet no one could
touch him. He was fast, good on his edgesthat was part of it. But he
wasnt that fast. No one could touch him because he knew where everyone
else was skating, and not only skating but turning and stopping. He
understood how to misdirect attention and where to find empty spaces
on the ice. He determined how the puck would move, and could see where
to send it. He was a prodigy with a prophetic type of genius. He was
able to use his anticipation to leverage surprise, which gave him the

Can Your Stomach Handle a Meal at Alchemist? - The New Yorker
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
Rasmus Munk, the celebrated Danish chef, has such memorable
eyes—they are a piercing blue, and often bloodshot—that when a
waiter at Alchemist, his restaurant in Copenhagen, served me an
eyeball, I recognized it immediately. The iris was flecked with brown
and rimmed with red, and the eye stared up at me unwaveringly, at
least until I picked up a long-handled spoon and dug in. It had a
gleaming gelatinous surface and was both salty and creamy, with a
surprisingly nubby texture and a distinct taste of—what was

Ants learned to farm fungi during a mass extinction
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
We tend to think of agriculture as a human innovation. But insects
beat us to it by millions of years. Various ant species cooperate with
fungi, creating a home for them, providing them with nutrients, and
harvesting them as food. This reaches the peak of sophistication in
the leafcutter ants, which cut foliage and return it to feed their
fungi, which in turn form specialized growths that are harvested for
food. But other ant species cooperate with fungi—in some cases
strains of fungus that are also found growing in their environment.

host ring systems. Even so, it would be fanciful to imagine that Earth
once had a ring system of its own, wouldn’t it? I mean, that just

How to Stop Advertisers From Tracking Your Teen Across the Internet
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 are being tracked across the
internet using identifiers known as Advertising IDs. When children
turn 13, they age out of the data protections provided by the
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Then, they become
targets for data collection from data brokers that collect their
information from social media apps, shopping history, location
tracking services, and more. Data brokers then process and sell the
data. Deleting Advertising IDs off your teen’s devices can increase
their privacy and stop advertisers collecting their data.

What Americas presidential election means for world trade - The
Economist [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
In the 1990s presidential hopefuls fought over how much America should
open itself up to commerce with other countries. Nowadays, the trade
debate revolves around how much America should close itself off.
Donald Trump is unquestionably the more radical of the two candidates,
with a vision for tariffs that would turn the clock back nearly a
century on economic strategy. Kamala Harris is less extreme but still
sees a world in which America is best served by soft protectionism,
featuring subsidies for favoured industries.

Addiction Is Often Rooted in Trauma. New Treatments Offer Hope for
Both - Scientific American [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
When I entered rehab at 23, I learned that trauma was a thread woven
into most addiction stories. Many people in my program described
horrific neglect or maltreatment, including sexual abuse, they had
experienced as children. Still, few seemed to realize how traumatizing
those things had been. The traces of trauma in my own life were not
then obvious to me, either, perhaps because my parents had suffered so
much worse. Now, however, I can see that some of my extreme
sensitivities, such as my fear of crowds and enclosures, eerily
reflect my fathers story.

Why I Tell My Clients to Eat Marshmallows

You may have heard of the marshmallow study, a 1960s psychological
study in which a Stanford researcher gave preschool children a choice:
Eat one marshmallow right now, or wait a short time and get to eat two
marshmallows. Researchers tracked the children into adulthood and
found that those who delayed gratification and waited for the two
marshmallows were more successful students and adults.

The astrophysicist unravelling the origins of supermassive black holes
- New Scientist [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
Supermassive black holes are, as you might expect, rather large
millions and sometimes billions of times as massive as the sun. They
lurk at the centre of all large galaxies, including our Milky Way,
shaping the growth of these cosmic structures. And yet we can say
precious little for certain about how they form and why they grow so
big.

A Worst-Case Hurricane Scenario Could Be Emerging For Tampa Bay -

Tropical Storm Milton is gathering strength in the Gulf of Mexico and
is expected to become a hurricane within the next day or so. Unlike
many tropical systems, it will move west to east over much of the Gulf
of Mexico, so it has plenty of warm water ahead of it. The official
hurricane track issued by the National Hurricane Center is a potential
worst-case scenario for the Tampa Bay region of Florida, and winds

The Echoes of Loss and Legacy as the N.H.L. Returns - The New Yorker

In 1981, Wayne Gretzky, playing for the Edmonton Oilers, broke the
single-season N.H.L. points record, finishing with a hundred and
sixty-four points in his second-ever season in the league. He was, at
the time, twenty years old, and small even in pads, yet no one could
touch him. He was fast, good on his edgesthat was part of it. But he
wasnt that fast. No one could touch him because he knew where everyone
else was skating, and not only skating but turning and stopping. He
understood how to misdirect attention and where to find empty spaces
on the ice. He determined how the puck would move, and could see where
to send it. He was a prodigy with a prophetic type of genius. He was
able to use his anticipation to leverage surprise, which gave him the

Can Your Stomach Handle a Meal at Alchemist? - The New Yorker

Rasmus Munk, the celebrated Danish chef, has such memorable
eyes—they are a piercing blue, and often bloodshot—that when a
waiter at Alchemist, his restaurant in Copenhagen, served me an
eyeball, I recognized it immediately. The iris was flecked with brown
and rimmed with red, and the eye stared up at me unwaveringly, at
least until I picked up a long-handled spoon and dug in. It had a
gleaming gelatinous surface and was both salty and creamy, with a
surprisingly nubby texture and a distinct taste of—what was

Ants learned to farm fungi during a mass extinction
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
We tend to think of agriculture as a human innovation. But insects
beat us to it by millions of years. Various ant species cooperate with
fungi, creating a home for them, providing them with nutrients, and
harvesting them as food. This reaches the peak of sophistication in
the leafcutter ants, which cut foliage and return it to feed their
fungi, which in turn form specialized growths that are harvested for
food. But other ant species cooperate with fungi—in some cases
strains of fungus that are also found growing in their environment.

How to Stop Advertisers From Tracking Your Teen Across the Internet

Teens between the ages of 13 and 17 are being tracked across the
internet using identifiers known as Advertising IDs. When children
turn 13, they age out of the data protections provided by the
Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Then, they become
targets for data collection from data brokers that collect their
information from social media apps, shopping history, location
tracking services, and more. Data brokers then process and sell the
data. Deleting Advertising IDs off your teen’s devices can increase
their privacy and stop advertisers collecting their data.

What Americas presidential election means for world trade - The

debate revolves around how much America should close itself off.
Donald Trump is unquestionably the more radical of the two candidates,
with a vision for tariffs that would turn the clock back nearly a
century on economic strategy. Kamala Harris is less extreme but still
sees a world in which America is best served by soft protectionism,
featuring subsidies for favoured industries.

Addiction Is Often Rooted in Trauma. New Treatments Offer Hope for
Both - Scientific American [[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=75218&nl=daily]
When I entered rehab at 23, I learned that trauma was a thread woven
into most addiction stories. Many people in my program described
horrific neglect or maltreatment, including sexual abuse, they had
experienced as children. Still, few seemed to realize how traumatizing
those things had been. The traces of trauma in my own life were not
then obvious to me, either, perhaps because my parents had suffered so
much worse. Now, however, I can see that some of my extreme
sensitivities, such as my fear of crowds and enclosures, eerily
reflect my fathers story.
