![]() Indeed, up until the middle ages Ireland was often referred to as Wolfland because of how many wolves there were. For these people the wolves must have been a constant danger as well as competitor for food. It is estimated that the first people arrived in Ireland around 8000 BC, although there is more recent evidence of a possible settlement dating back another 5,000 years. There were mountains and forests and regions of tundra to roam, and which provided a wide variety of animals for the wolves to prey upon such as deer, wild boar and, for a time, the Giant Elk.Ī wolf at the UK Wolf Conservation Trust. When the last ice age ended, Ireland’s landscape was the perfect environment for wolves to thrive. Yet Ireland has a long relationship with wolves, with these creatures having been there since at least 34,000 BC, according to the latest carbon dating on remains.

Surprisingly, this took place in the year 1786, almost five hundred years after the last English wolf and over one hundred years since the last wolf was shot in Scotland. Īlthough we can’t be certain, records show that the last wolf in Ireland was killed by a farmer, John Watson, and his wolfhound on Mount Leinster in County Carlow. Was that my dog or the wolf, the man wondered, slowly stepping into the shadow of the forest. He released the hound and raised the barrel pointing it towards the furthest trees.įrom the darkness of the woods came a terrible howl. The man shivered and shook his shoulder, allowing the strap of his gun to come loose. Through a break in the clouds a full moon appeared momentarily. His hound sniffed eagerly, almost pulling the leash from the man’s grasp. The man followed the tracks through the snow. ![]() The company also says that those who reliably switch positions can stuff one side of the pillow higher than the other for maximum comfort. ![]() It’s also adjustable, so if the loft isn’t perfect, you can take out some filling to make it thinner, or add some, which the company includes with your pillow order, to make it taller. When I fell asleep on my side, the Coop supported my head and kept it aligned with my spine when I shifted to my back, it shifted a bit with me, thus preventing my head from being bent forward, toward my chest. It’s relatively firm and even a bit heavy, unlike the Pillow Cube, which is has a more solid, springy texture. I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that with the Coop, I had one of my most comfortable nights in recent memory. The Coop, which is made of a blend of cross-cut memory foam and microfiber, is such a pillow. Pillows with a looser style of filling can adapt better to different sleeping positions.” ![]() “I recommend pillows that contain shredded foam or feathers (or mixes) for people that shift around a lot-but be careful because some of these pillow types can lack enough fill to support side sleepers with broad shoulders. But movers like me might find that foam pillows, while offering excellent support for side sleepers, “are tough to adjust to your shifting,” says Chris Regan, who oversees mattress and pillow testing at CR. Folks who tend to stick to side sleeping through the night may have success with the Pillow Cube or another solid foam pillow like the Comfort Revolution, which rates highly in Consumer Reports’ tests.

Pearl Jam is the band's turf statement, a personal declaration of the importance of music over idolatry. Here's that paragraph containing the story: I'm really glad that Pearl Jam survived the 90s. Very cool read, considering their status as more-or-less "elder statesmen" of rock music today. It's interesting to read how Vedder and the rest of PJ were reacting to the sudden fame they were getting, and how they felt it was affecting them personally as well as the band itself.

Supposedly, Eddie Vedder showed up out of nowhere and asked them to stop singing the song, as it was very personal to him. As they were walking, they were singing "Black" together.

Cut down on the number of decisions you have to make each day (e.g., wear the same clothes every day) Those 16-hour days going back and forth on a tough decision might be doing more harm than good. It’s important to be self-aware of what state of mind you’re in before tackling a hard choice. It’s why after debating for a few minutes, you agree to your friend’s bad restaurant choice just to get the decision-making process over. We begin to lose the ability to weigh the outcomes of our choices and make dubious decisions. The judges were dramatically more likely to free prisoners earlier in the day (before the judges had made any big decisions) or right after lunch (when they were rested and replenished) compared to the afternoon (when they've already made multiple big decisions).ĭecision fatigue hits us when we’ve depleted our ego. When Jonathan Levav of Stanford and Shai Danziger of Ben-Gurion University studied Israeli judges' decisions to grant parole to prisoners, a strange pattern emerged. However, even though decisions fatigue is inevitable, there are ways to make sure you’re not letting it affect your difficult choice. Especially when it comes to the kinds of decisions we’re talking about here, which require a massive amount of cognitive grit to weigh the pros and cons. So it’s no wonder that at a certain point we reach what’s called decision fatigue-where the mental energy required to weigh the tradeoffs of our decision become too much for us to handle. That’s 70 distinct moments of wading through options and committing to a certain choice. Understand the Effects of Decision FatigueĪ recent study from Columbia University decision researcher Sheena Lyengar found that on average, Americans make 70 conscious decisions a day. Perhaps legendary Daoist philosopher Laozi put this best when he asked:ĭo you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? 2. Make sure when it comes to a decision that you give yourself the space to think between stimulus and response and break your mind out of the destructiveness of "reaction mode. There’s a reason your mother told you to take a few deep breaths before you get angry. Simply starting to think in longer periods will help settle your brain and shift from reaction to strategy mode. What’s going to happen? And then what might happen? And then? Sorry to sound like your mother or father here, but: Before jumping to a conclusion, consider the consequences of your decisions. Evolutionarily speaking, it was important for us to be able to react to something new in our environment (you didn’t want to sit back and think about whether or not that lion really wants to eat you), but in the modern workplace we need to be able to calm those thoughts. Unfortunately, most of us are conditioned to respond as quickly as possible.įrom the moment our alarm rings, we’re in reaction mode-acting based on the stimulus around us rather than casting our eyes to the future. They think about the future most of the time," rather than thinking only of the next few hours or even minutes: The most successful people, Banfield found, "are intensely future-oriented. Banfield discovered was that ‘time perspective’ was the determining factor of whether or not a family moved from a lower socioeconomic class to a higher one-that is, whether they improved their socioeconomic situation or not.

Think about the long-term consequences of your decision. In his book Get Smart!: How to Think and Act Like the Most Successful and Highest-Paid People in Every Field, author Brian Tracy presents ten different ways of thinking that enable better decision making. We may respect those able to fling themselves into a hard problem and make a quick choice with seemingly little thought, but making a meaningful decision needs to be done with care for the long-term effects. ![]() He is followed by the current world champion Ben Proud of Great Britain with 71 and Nathan Adrian from the United States with 65 (who has not officially retired, however, he has not competed on the elite level since June of 2021). Bruno Fratus with his 100 sub-22s leads the ranking. On the other hand, of the top eight swimmers in the 50 free, only Cesar Cielo has announced his retirement, and most of them have been registering sub-22 performances in 2021-22. Among active runners, Mike Rodgers leads the pack with 46 9-point performances. Since he announced his retirement last year, we will probably have to wait a few years to witness a man getting to 100 sub-10s, as American Justin Gatlin (64), world record holder Jamaica Usain Bolt (52) and American Maurice Greene (51) are all retired. Jamaican Asafa Powell is the one who is the closest to get to 100 sub-10s, as he has registered 97 9-point performances. That is why a 21-point swim is more frequent than a 9-point run.Īnd what about specific runners and swimmers? Is there any runner who has broken the 10-second barrier 100 times, just like Bruno Fratus did in swimming?Īctually, there isn’t. In other words, the 10-second barrier was broken by runners more than 20 years before swimmers could break the 22-second, but swimmers increased their speed over the years more than runners. By the same year, 24 runners had broken the 10-second in the 100-meter dash 82 times. By 2021, 33 swimmers had broken the 22-second in the 50 freestyle 134 times. This means that a given swimmer, on average, has been able to crack this magical barrier more often than a runner.Īctually, over the last years, swimmers have indeed achieved the feat more frequently than runners. This seems logical: After all, there were runners into the 10-second territory long before swimmers into the 21-second territory.īut then there is this interesting statistic: Swimmers have registered 1,218 21-point swims, and runners have set 1,124 9-point performances. ![]() The first one was American Tom Jager, at the US Sprint in Nashville in a 21.98.Īs of today (July 2022), there have been 165 men who have broken the 10-second barrier in the 100 meters, and 114 swimmers under the 22-second barrier in the 50 freestyle. It was not until 1990 that a swimmer would crack the 22-second in the men’s 50 freestyle. In 1968, American Jim Hines (also an NFL player) won the Olympic gold medal in Mexico in 9.95, becoming the first runner to officially break the 10-second barrier in the 100 meters. Men have been running in the 9-second territory in the 100 dash long before the first swimmer cracked the 22-second barrier in the 50 free. How many men have broken these magical barriers? So, which is harder: cracking the 22-second in the 50 freestyle or cracking the 10-second in the 100 dash? And the magical barrier in the 100-meter dash has been the 10-second. The champion of that event is considered the fastest swimmer in the world - just like the winner of the 100-meter dash is considered the fastest runner in the world. The 50 freestyle is the fastest event in swimming. To put that in perspective, the next swimmer, Britain’s Ben Proud, has registered 71 21-point swims in his career. Cracking the 22-second barrier is not an easy feat, let alone doing it so many times. It was anticlimactic, since he lost the semifinal to France’s Maxime Grousset and could not compete in the final to try for his fourth medal in the event at World Championships.Īnyway, it was a historical accomplishment. He expected to swim his 100th 21-point in the final of the event, but it happened during a swim-off following the semifinals. This moment was highly anticipated, as he came to Budapest having clocked 97 swims under the 22-second barrier.

My rule was to follow the order of the original text. My process was this: I translated as I read the dictionary, choosing only the parts that were interesting to me-sentences, fragments, and sometimes a single phrase extracted from an entry. For a time, working through this dictionary was one of the practices that governed my life. Its appeal as an object lies in its slender portability to me, though, it has felt very big. The English Treasure is small, materially, published as a poetry pamphlet with a stapled binding and a pale pink cover. The translation is unconventional in that I also erased most of the book to make a series of prose poems from it, in a volume much shorter than the original: forty-eight pages of text. It stretches to more than 1,500 pages in the version I worked from the entry for “elephant” alone is twelve pages. His Treasure is copious, encyclopedic, filled with citations from authority, personal anecdotes, popular refrains, etymological and theological speculation. He’s something of a Samuel Johnson, I sometimes explain to English speakers as a cultural translation, except that Covarrubias came first, which might make Johnson the translation, and to me Covarrubias is a more interesting writer. ![]() When I tell this to Spanish speakers, they often say brightly, oh, Covarrubias.
