The 7 Most Sought After Good Habits
I'm an avid student of behavioral psychology, and I really
enjoy observing trends of large groups of people. A few days ago, I
noticed something curious about one of my new favorite iPhone apps,
Lift, which focuses on habit formation. There's a section in the app
which lists all of the most selected habits that users have added.
What's interesting is that due to the app's intentions (sticking to good
habits), you essentially get an inside look at what habits matter to
the most people. More »
Transparency 2013: Good and bad news about banking, guns, freedom and all that
== Bank Secrecy 'ending' at last? =="Bank secrecy is essentially
eroding before our eyes," says a recent NPR article. "I think the
combination of the fear factor that has kicked in for not only Americans
with money offshore, countries that don't want to be on the wrong side
of this issue and the legislative weight of FATCA means that within
three to five years it will be exceptionally difficult for any American
to hide money in any financial institution."In one sense, this would
appear to be vindication of my forecast, in EARTH, that banking secrecy

A new study from neurologists at UCLA adds to the growing

Instead of Being Dumped, Ideas And Things Of Value Should Be Treated With Regard
Above are some Christmas Trees I saw in Houston a few days ago.
Surely it is so that our feelings about Christmas and about holiday
traditions merit more than just tossing these trees out into the dump.
These trees could have been composted.
Ideas and things that have value to us should be treated with respect.
This is true of Christmas Trees and of so many things.
