Rethinking The Stress Mindset: Can You Find The Upside of Pressure? — PsyBlog
Is it true that what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, or is stress always debilitating?
One of my goals this year is to improve my sleeping quality as a way of reducing stress and shedding some fat. This article popped up in Feedly–it’s a good reminder of an issue I read about from Mark Sisson a couple of years ago, what he called biphasic sleep. I have had this experience of waking up around midnight, especially when I’ve been giving myself more time to be in bed. When it happens, I will listen to a podcast in the dark for an hour. I have no reason to worry about it or label insomnia.

‘Minecraft’ aims to reel in families, young gamers with new Realms subscription service | The Verge
In an effort to broaden Minecraft’s audience and draw in families and younger gamers, Mojang has announced a new initiative called Minecraft Realms. At its core, Realms is a monthly subscription service that gives players a private, tightly-controlled Minecraftserver, providing “a safe and easy way” for children to enjoy the hugely-popular title. Pricing has yet to be finalized, but Games Industry International suggests it will fall somewhere between $10 and $15. For that fee, players will take ownership of their ownMinecraft world with full control over who else may enter and build alongside them. Thankfully only one person needs to pay for a Realms account, so your friends and family members won’t have to part with any cash to get started — all they’ll need is a copy of the game and an internet connection.
