CreativeJS Ajazz Productions The Future of Self-Improvement, Part I: Grit Is More Important Than Talent In the late ’60s, Stanford psychologist Walter Mischel performed a now-iconic experiment called the Marshmallow Test, which analyzed the ability of four year olds to exhibit “delayed gratification.” Here’s what happened: Each child was brought into the room and sat down at a table with a delicious treat on it (maybe a marshmallow, maybe a donut). The scientists told the children that they could have a treat now, or, if they waited 15 minutes, they could have two treats. All of the children wanted to wait. (Who doesn’t want more treats?) But many couldn’t. When the researchers subsequently checked in on these same children in high school, it turned out that those with more self-control — that is, those who held out for 15 minutes — were better behaved, less prone to addiction, and scored higher on the SAT. It’s not difficult to see how self-control would be predictive of success in certain spheres. In essence, Twitter is the new marshmallow. And yet: Self-control isn’t the whole story.

Ajazz Tech By: Alex Z. I’ve had very good luck avoiding spyware and viruses since I’ve owned a computer. Not everyone can say the same. There are simple steps that should be taken to avoid infection and different software that must be run. To put it simply, there are free and costly ways to protect our data. While there are many different pieces of antivirus and antispyware software available, I will be highlighting two (at minimum) that I recommend running. In the meantime, here are some solid choices for antivirus and antispyware software. Free antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials AVG Free avast! I currently use a combination of Microsoft Security Essentials and Spybot Search & Destroy. Microsoft Security Essentials leaves a small memory footprint and is easy to use. The interface is very clean and isn’t cluttered with too many buttons. I generally don’t scan my system weekly, but I would recommend it. The same can’t be said for Spybot Search & Destroy, as it tends to always find a few goodies.

News Blog A bill proposed this week by Assemblywoman Pamela R. Lampitt (D., Camden) would impose a fine of up to $50 and possibly 15 days in jail for pedestrians caught using their cellphones without hands-free devices while walking on public sidewalks and along roadways.If the bill becomes law, “petextrians” – people who text while walking – would face the same penalties as jaywalkers in New Jersey.“I see it every single day,” Lampitt said Friday. “Maybe they will think twice about it.” Since 2009, pedestrian fatalities have increased by 15 percent to 4,735 in 2013, the report said. In a world populated with idiots, the banning of risky behavior has its downside.
