Won't dissuade psychopathic serial killers, though

The theory is that children is less able to control their blood sugar levels then adults and that their activity levels and sleepieness is related to their blood sugar levels. That would mean that giving kids sugar before bedtime would make it harder to put them to bed. As with most theories there is some truth to it but these effects are only seen in extreme cases of blood sugar spikes and falls. This is of course easier with children as they are smaller but regular candy, and especially not juice, will not be able to produce this result.

Maybe because their kids won't sleep jacked up on sugar or caffeine from the soda? It's difficult enough to get kids to sleep normally.

There's been a longstanding old wives tale that sugary food makes children energetic, giving them a sugar rush. We're this to be true, it would make putting your children to bed more difficult, but there is no such thing

To explain this, we have to go over what 'parole' means.

For a life sentence, an inmate must serve at least 25 years before being eligible for parole. For lesser sentences, they're usually eligible after serving a certain minimum number of years.

However, life without parole is just that -- the inmate is never going to be granted parole. That does not, however, forgo the possibility that their sentence may be commuted (changed to a lesser sentence).

If the sentence is commuted, the inmate must remain on good behavior for the remaining portion of their sentence, or the commutation may be rescinded and the original sentence reinstated.

Even if they're eight years into the 'plus ten years' portion and are almost guaranteed to be released on parole in the next six months, they risk going right back to life without parole if they misbehave during that time.

It's basically a way to ensure that they're not abusing the privilege of a commuted sentence just to shorten their time behind bars.

There are a lot of factors which affect your level of satiety after eating. One of them is the presence of volatile organic compounds which are more abundant in hot food and which trigger the appetite-suppressing mechanisms in the digestive tract.

Therapy is about self awareness. Many people get stuck in cycles of behavior and thought that are destructive and they don’t even realize what they are doing. Therapy is process of discussion and exploration that helps people become aware of how they think and why they behave the way they do. Once they are aware they can work on changing their thinking/behavior/habits in ways that support their goals, whatever those might be.

If you are going through a lot of therapists maybe you need to think about what you are hoping to accomplish. You decide the point of therapy.

I'm curious if this is a situation where things get uncomfortable and OP ghosts.

I mean, let's be honest, I have like 15 USB devices connected to my computer and the majority of them have no need of the USB3 speed.

Outside of external storage, VR gear and video hardware, there is not a lot of devices that need them.

Even weirder is that the common pronunciation of Kansas is "can sass" and Arkansas is "Ark an saw"

While I agree, 25 years of prison is pretty much a whole lifetime..

You will be nothing but a broken shadow of whatever you were before, and ever hoped to be....

I would think that in this day and age of cell phones/personal media players why bother go through the cost of updating stuff?

Wow I never knew this. Using the term “life” is quite a misnomer then.

You are not incriminating yourself by saying "I'm a criminal". Can't be punished for just that.

There's tons of ways it can happen really. For starters in many cases a country's "global" name, in English or other languages, is dictated by the country itself and is just the native name of the country. For example Turkey recently demanded that it is referred to as Turkiye because they didn't like the fact that the name was the same as the bird. At least in all official diplomatic/academic/informational contexts, this has to be observed.

Some countries are named after their people, who had names as loosely defined ethnic groups long before modern day countries and borders were a thing (France/Britain/Germany for example).

Some times a country may have multiple different names in multiple different languages. It really depends where each language "got it from". Depending on various cultural and historical contexts a language may take a country's name and other words as loanwords from another language that introduced them to it. For example the Romans and Greeks were well travelled peoples, or held vast territories, and had writing and record keeping systems as well as languages that were spread far and wide due to their influence, so for many languages things like region names may be loaned from Latin or Greek. In the case of Japan they were a closed off nation and mostly came in contact with neighboring countries until European trade companies made their way there, so many words and place names in Japanese are loaned from English for example.

It's also affected by the intricacies of each different language. Some times names mean something in their native language and they're translated etymologically in other languages, so the end result sounds completely different but means the same, or the name is phonetically adapted to the other languages but due to differences in writing systems and spelling it may sound similar, but still different.

Basically, there's tons of different ways something like a country name may be adopted into a language, and the study of the origin of words themselves is tricky by itself since some words can very easily be traced back centuries while other have a very hazy and confusing history, so really there's no rule for coming up with country names in other languages, you have to examine it case by case, as in per language and per country name in said language.

In the case of Japan in English there's various theories, none concrete though. This article illustrates the issue a bit, while also providing a possible origin

>The origin of the name Japan is not certain, but researchers say it probably came from the Malayan ″Japung″ or the Chinese ″Riben,″ meaning roughly land of the rising sun.

Historians say the Japanese called their country Yamato in its early history, and they began using Nippon around the seventh century. Nippon and Nihon are used interchangeably as the country’s name.

In general the names of countries and regions in different languages is a product of the history of the world itself. War, Empires, Trade, have all impacted this throughout the ages.

Thank you, I didn’t understand the numbers behind this, but I get it now

Licensed Counselor here. CBT is still a good, evidence based therapy. However, CBT is beginning to wane in popularity, while acceptance- and mindfulness-based approaches are gaining steam (most notably Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

>In Polish, the name for Italy is related to the word hair

Please tell me you're joking. The name in reality comes from the Celtic tribe known as Volcae ("Wolkowie" in Polish), originating from present-day southeastern France.

Makes little sense, I agree.

And what is a grilled cheese sandwich? A fried cheese sandwich

I had a few therapy sessions as a result of work burnout. It was just techniques for breathing, relaxing and dealing with stress. And it worked for me…no digging into my childhood trying to uncover trauma or any of that. I was quite impressed by how much things have changed in recent decades.

The warmth of the food probably contributes quite a bit as well. A cold grilled cheese sandwich, while more fulfilling than a non-grilled one, is not nearly as good as a freshly grilled one.

But why does it seem to only happen when you're hungry, then?

Phonetics, at least in Ireland the names of places and people in English are just phonetic gibberish that sounds broadly like the Irish words which actually mean something
