     summer tucks her coat closer to her body and, with a measure of not-entirely-serious disappointment, groans, ‘ y’know, they said montana was going to be warm. ’ the divide between what a brochure says and what it leaves out is staggering, but it isn’t entirely surprising, either. the paper hadn’t mentioned the slush, the way the roads get slick in late winter, even as it begins its farewell. it hadn’t mentioned the ash in the summertime.
     it hadn’t mentioned the war on the home front ...
     it hadn’t mentioned a lot of things.

A whole new way of doing nutrition research
katueng/Shutterstock
Once I inform folks about what I do for a residing (a meals scientist), I invariably get the identical response. A roll of eyes and criticism about how the issue with meals science is that it’s all the time telling me that pink wine is nice, then it’s unhealthy, then it’s good, relying on the day of the week. The reality is that the sphere of dietary epidemiology, the research of massive populations and the way the meals they eat impacts their well being, has struggled for a while with very unhealthy PR.
This unhealthy PR stems from the truth that these research often depend on what folks inform us they eat, and never what they really eat. This may work properly for some features of the weight-reduction plan – dietary patterns, for instance – however not others, particularly particular person meals or meals parts.
There are two primary issues: first, folks don’t all the time accurately report what they eat and customarily declare to eat extra of what’s thought of to be wholesome and fewer of what’s thought of to be unhealthy. This impacts the correlation we observe and generally even reverses the end result. As an illustration, self-reported sugar consumption is related to a decrease physique mass index (BMI), whereas now we have proven beforehand that precise sugar consumption is unsurprisingly related to the next BMI. This drawback is well-known and has been mentioned amongst nutritionists for many years. There are some refined strategies to handle this, however they’re not all the time attainable to make use of.
The second is harder to handle however has arguably a a lot bigger impression when investigating particular person compounds, resembling nutritional vitamins, minerals or bioactives resembling caffeine or flavanols – meals is just not standardised. The variability in meals composition is big, even in meals harvested from the identical plant. Within the 1960s, researchers analysed the composition of apples on a single tree and located greater than twofold variations within the composition of those apples. Additionally, composition adjustments throughout storage and, in fact, preparation. Nevertheless, in vitamin analysis, we regularly should depend on printed meals composition knowledge and use a single worth. For instance, for every apple, we assume it incorporates 9mg of vitamin C, when in actuality, this may be very completely different.
What does this imply? It implies that it’s unattainable to estimate the precise consumption of a compound based mostly on dietary knowledge and meals composition knowledge alone. A cup of tea incorporates between 1mg and 600mg whole flavanols. But in most analyses, this will probably be standardised to 125mg per cup. This has large penalties, because the estimated consumption of flavanols now not depends upon the precise consumption, however merely the consumption of sure meals. Most research performed up to now have this weak point.
Nearly ten years
The easiest way to handle this drawback is by measuring what’s taken up by the physique, utilizing so-called biomarkers. We are able to do that for instance in urine, but additionally in blood and hair. This methodology tells us precisely what an individual has consumed and doesn’t depend on meals composition knowledge or the particular person telling us what they ate. However this method is dear and desires a number of preparation, which is the explanation there haven’t been many large-scale research up to now.
We determined to make use of this method to analyze the affiliation between flavanols and blood strain. Flavanols are present in a variety of meals, resembling tea, apples, wine and cocoa. A number of smaller research have proven a helpful impact on blood strain, and their impact on heart problems danger is at present being investigated in a big trial. There may be, nonetheless, no dependable knowledge on their impact in most of the people when consumed as a part of a standard weight-reduction plan.
Tumblr media
We investigated the hyperlink between flavanols and blood strain. Seasontime/Shutterstock
Such a challenge required a number of planning and preparation, and it took nearly ten years from begin to end. We needed to determine essentially the most appropriate biomarkers first after which develop analytical strategies. Our colleagues from the College of California, Davis, in addition to meals producer Mars Inc., performed groundbreaking analysis into the metabolism of flavanols in people and developed strategies to synthesise these metabolites so we may determine essentially the most promising biomarkers and set up that they supply an correct estimate of consumption. On the similar time, our colleagues from EPIC Norfolk and the MRC Epidemiology Unit, in addition to from LGC Fordham Laboratory, arrange the infrastructure to course of greater than 25,000 urine samples.
The outcomes of the research have been thrilling: for the primary time, we may present that there was a statistically important, significant distinction in blood strain of 1-3mmHg between these with excessive and low-flavanol consumption. This distinction is much like the impact of lowering salt consumption or adopting a Mediterranean weight-reduction plan.
There was a way more vital discovering, although. When evaluating objectively measured flavanol consumption with knowledge estimated utilizing the normal methodology, we discovered solely a really weak correlation. This exhibits that combining self-reported knowledge with meals composition databases is unlikely to offer a dependable estimate of flavonol consumption – and the identical might be true of many different compounds with excessive variability in meals composition.

Этот сладкий, сладкий яд .
[Q]: Я заменил(а) сахар медом и сиропом агавы. Я молодец? Так полезнее?
[A]: Почему-то продукты со сложными и экзотическими названиями кажутся лучше обычных.  «Сахар – ужасно, тростниковый сахар – неплохо, сироп агавы – замечательно полезно. На самом деле по составу и свойствам это примерно одно и тоже: простые углеводы, которые построены из одной или двух молекул сахаров.
Одна молекула – моносахариды (глюкоза, фруктоза, галактоза). Когда эти молекулы соединяются друг с другом, получаются дисахариды — сахароза, мальтоза, лактоза. Глюкоза вместе с фруктозой образуют сахарозу — знакомый нам всем столовый сахар, который получают из сахарной свеклы или сахарного тростника. Его (и другие простые сахара) добавляют в продукты и напитки промышленного производства (сладкие газировки, шоколад, конфеты, йогурты, выпечку, хлопья для завтрака, соусы и другие несладкие блюда).
Дома на кухне мы тоже используем сахар. Когда идет речь об общем его потреблении, должны учитываться и продукты, содержащие свободные сахара – мед, всевозможные сиропы, фруктоза в натуральных соках и смузи. В молочных продуктах, овощах и фруктах простые сахара содержатся в небольшом количестве и по ряду причин медленнее перевариваются и всасываются. Их потребление (в отличие от добавленных и свободных сахаров) у здоровых людей не регламентируется — руководствуйтесь своим желанием и аппетитом.

[Q]: Очень боюсь диабета. Если я откажусь от сахара, его не будет?
[A]: К сожалению, всё не так просто. Сахарный диабет I типа связан с аутоиммунным поражением клеток поджелудочной железы, которые вырабатывают гормон инсулин. Что запускает гибель клеток, мы не знаем, а поэтому никакой действенной профилактики не существует. Инсулин — это просто посредник, который помогает молекулам глюкозы попасть в клетку. Там она используется как основной источник энергии.
Глюкозу мы получаем не только с простыми углеводами, но и при переваривании крахмалов любой растительной пищи. Отсутствие инсулина — это гуманитарная катастрофа для организма. При сахарном диабете II типа инсулин производится, но клетки менее чувствительны к его сигналам. Висцеральная жировая ткань, которая располагается в брюшной полости и окружает внутренние органы, производит вещества, которые мешают инсулину связываться с рецепторами клеток. Абдоминальное ожирение (обхват талии более 80 см у женщин и более 94 см у мужчин) — это фактор риска инсулиновой резистентности. Поджелудочная железа в условиях  резистентности не способна бесконечно увеличивать производство инсулина. Её возможности со временем истощаются и развивается диабет.
Имеет значение и дефицит движения: во время физической активности мышцам нужно меньше инсулина, чтобы получить глюкозу. Оценить другие факторы риска (среди которых и возраст, и кровные родственники с диабетом) можно на сайте Американской диабетической ассоциации.
Что касается питания, то лучше просто взять и отказаться от сладких газировок. Они содержат очень много сахара, но не дают адекватного чувства насыщения. Два метаанализа показали, что их избыточное потребление увеличивает риски развития диабета независимо от веса.  Питание, которое базируется в основном на продуктах глубокой переработки, содержащих много не только сахара, но и добавленных жиров, тоже ассоциируется с увеличением риска диабета II типа.
[Q]: Мы едим разные продукты, а в итоге всё равно получаем глюкозу. Не проще ли тогда сразу питаться вареньем?
[A]: Это только в мультфильме в меру упитанный герой может съесть на обед банку варенья. В реальности большую часть энергии мы должны получать из продуктов, содержащих сложные углеводы. Нам необходимы растворимая и нерастворимая клетчатка, витамины, минералы и фитохимические вещества, которые содержатся в овощах, фруктах, крупах, бобовых. К тому же расщепление крахмала на молекулы глюкозы занимает больше времени. Рост уровня глюкозы в крови после одного и того же продукта, содержащего углеводы, — вещь более индивидуальная, чем принято было думать раньше. Однако достаточное ��оличество в еде пищевых волокон сделает ваш гликемический профиль более гладким.
[Q]: Стараюсь все сладкие продукты (в том числе и фрукты) съесть в первой половине дня. Ведь иначе сахар превратится в жир, и я прибавлю в весе?
[A]: Нет, вы напрасно беспокоитесь. Энергетической ценностью (калорийностью) обладают продукты, содержащие белки, жиры или углеводы. Если по любым причинам мы получаем из еды больше калорий, чем тратим, избыток энергии запасается в виде жира. Время приема пищи в течение дня не имеет значения, важно, чтобы сохранялся энергетический баланс. Его регулируют гормоны желудочно-кишечного тракта и жировой ткани, а также центры голода и насыщения в гипоталамусе мозга.
[Q]: Во второй половине рабочего дня обязательно ем что-нибудь сладкое, иначе трудно сосредоточиться. Правда ли, что нашему мозгу нужен сахар? Или это формируется зависимость?
[A]: Питание мозга происходит за счет глюкозы, причем напрямую, без посредничества инсулина. Наш мозг – это всего 2% от веса тела, но он тратит 20% всей поступающей энергии (и потребляет  50-60% всех углеводов). Мышление, память, обучение тесно связаны с уровнем глюкозы и тем, насколько эффективно мозг её использует. Как показано в исследованиях (раз, два), умеренное повышение уровня глюкозы в крови (после простых углеводов) может улучшать когнитивные функции.  Это не значит, что надо насыпать в чай пару столовых ложек сахара перед мозговым штурмом. Но вовремя поесть, если вы хотите продуктивно работать, совершенно необходимо.

Мы не роботы, и после интенсивной умственной работы накапливается усталость. Социально приемлемый способ отдохнуть и собраться с мыслями для курящих сотрудников — перекур, а для некурящих — чай с традиционной коробкой конфет. И с печеньками. И булочками. Сладкими. Нет, ничего плохого в умеренном потреблении сладкого нет, но потребность переключиться, отдохнуть, расслабиться не должна заменяться едой просто потому, что так принято.
В моей практике было два случая, когда пациенты ели устрашающие количества сахара, чтобы продуктивно работать. В обоих случаях это оказалось связано с нарушением цикла сна и бодрствования и депривацией сна. Пилотное исследование, опубликованное в The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, показывает, что увеличение продолжительности и качества сна, возможно, снижает потребление простых углеводов. Может быть много разных причин избыточного потребления сахара, но некорректно говорить в этой связи о «сахарной зависимости».
[Q]: Записалась в sugar-free группу, но через полгода сорвалась и опять ем сладкое. Как преодолеть зависимость от сахара?
[A]: Меня глубоко огорчает, что люди, не имеющие представления о доказательной медицине, расстройствах пищевого поведения, не знающие ничего о физиологии мозга, ставят несуществующие диагнозы и «лечат« других людей под лозунгом борьбы с «пищевой зависимостью».  Психиатр и психотерапевт Максим Сологуб, который занимается лечением расстройств пищевого поведения, видит связь между следованием жестким пищевым стереотипам и самооценкой.
Эти многочисленные предписания «как есть» не только запрещают сахар. Выполнение подобных правил повышает самооценку и в результате они становятся инструментами эмоциональной регуляции, к сожалению, малоэффективными, потому что приводят в свою очередь к еще большей эмоциональной диcрегуляции.
Что по поводу зависимости от сахара думает наука? Крупнейшее исследование связи между потреблением пищи, зависимостью и стрессом, NeuroFAST —  это междисциплинарный проект ряда европейских исследовательских центров (от Гётеборгского до Болонского университетов), говорит: «Нет доказательств того, что какая-то еда, пищевой ингредиент или пищевая добавка вызывают зависимость от конкретного вещества (единственным известным в настоящее время исключением является кофеин, который через определенные механизмы потенциально может вызвать зависимость). В этом контексте мы специально указываем, что алкогольные напитки не рассматриваются как пища. Переедание явно отличается от расстройств, связанных с употреблением психоактивных веществ, которые вызывают зависимость через специфические нейробиологические механизмы (как никотин, кокаин, каннабиноиды, опиоиды)».
Обзор специалистов из Кембриджа не находит достаточных доказательств существования «сахарной зависимости« у людей.  Самая большая поддержка этой идеи связана с тем, что на потребление сладкого реагирует система вознаграждения мозга. Однако даже в исследованиях на животных приступы обжорства были связаны с прерывистым потреблением сахара (сначала закормили, а потом отняли навсегда), а не с его нейробиологическими эффектами.
Существуют расстройства пищевого поведения, например компульсивное переедание, где в диагностических критериях – поглощение большого количества пищи и потеря контроля над собой во время «зажоров». Это не зависимость от еды, а болезнь, связанная с использованием самого процесса потребления пищи, чтобы совладать с эмоциональными проблемами. Людям с расстройствами пищевого поведения нужна специализированная помощь, чтобы справляться с психологическими ситуациями и физиологическими факторами, которые толкают к перееданию.

[Q]: Существуют ли какие-то нормы потребления сахара для здоровых взрослых и детей?
[A]: Всемирная организация здравоохранения рекомендует, чтобы на добавленные и свободные сахара приходилось менее 10% от суточной калорийности питания. Для здорового человека, потребляющего примерно 2000 ккал – это 50 г сахара или 12 чайных ложек без верха. Считается не только сахар, который вы кладете в чай, но и мед, сиропы, добавленные сахара в хлопьях и йогурте, конфеты, сладкая газировка, фруктовый сок и так далее.
Проблема в том, что добавленные сахара могут выступать под несколькими десятками названий, а производители не обязаны отдельно указывать их содержание (на упаковке может быть только общее количество углеводов). ВОЗ призывает снижать потребление сахара до 5% от суточной калорийности рациона, но не в одном из руководств по питанию нет рекомендаций полностью отказаться от сахара.
Американская академия педиатрии во��бще не рекомендует добавленные сахара детям до двух лет (при этом творог и йогурт для детей до года, где на 100 грамм продукта почти две чайные ложки сахара, лежат на полках любого магазина). Для детей старше двух лет рекомендуемое потребление –  до 25 г сахара в день. Сладкие газировки – не более 240 мл в неделю, фруктовые соки и смузи – не более 150 мл ежедневно.
[Q]: Так всё-таки, есть или не есть сахар? Скажите же толком!
[A]: В клиническом руководстве по питанию при диабете пишут, что важно получать удовольствие от еды, а любые ограничения должны быть обоснованы.  Одна из самых суровых организаций в смысле рекомендаций населению – Американская ассоциация сердечных заболеваний (American Heart Association) – считает, что добавленные сахара при адекватно низком потреблении могут быть частью здорового питания.
Питание – это безусловная, базовая потребность, а сладкий вкус нравится нам потому, что несущая его еда содержит достаточно энергии для жизни. Сладости не должны использоваться для эмоциональной регуляции, не должны быть поощрением и наградой. Но если держать сахар под замком (и запрещать себе или детям), это может подпитывать нездоровое стремление к сладкому. Чувство вины, если вы съели одно печенье, скорее всего приведет к тому, что вы съедите всю пачку. Поэтому найдите равновесие – пробуйте разную еду, получайте от неё удовольствие, сделайте десерты (которыми могут быть и фрукты) частью адекватного и сбалансированного питания.

Facebook Fudges Your Password for Your Convenience
Tumblr media
If you think the only correct version of your password is the exact capitalization and letter/symbol sequence you use, you may be in a shock. Facebook will accept slight variations of your password, for your convenience. And it’s perfectly safe.
Passwords Are Easy To Mistype
Facebook and other sites like it have a problem. They’d like you to use long and complicated passwords, but those are those are hard to type. You should be using a password manager to take care of that for you, but most people don’t. And because of those two factors, it’s common to mistype your password.
At that point what should Facebook do?
Should they deny you entry just because your password was slightly off, and frustrate you with a second attempt? Or should they recognize that the provided password was likely correct but with a typo and smooth your journey to cat gifs and baby pictures by ignoring the mistake?
Facebook Evaluates Mistakes in Passwords
As Alec Muffet, a former software engineer for the security infrastructure team at Facebook Engineering in London explains, Facebook chose the latter. If your password is very close to correct, they may count it as accurate. The rules for this are straightforward. Facebook will accept an incorrect password if it meets any of these conditions:
You have caps lock turned on, and the capitalizations are reversed.
You enter an extra character at the beginning or end of a password
The first character of the password should be lowercase, but you typed it capitalized
As you can see, these variations are all centered around the basic concept of slightly missing your password when typing. In some cases, this may be an issue of autocorrect, like the first letter of a word being capitalized. If your mistyped password meets these specific rules, you won’t know there was a problem—you’ll just find yourself logged in.
For example, let’s say your password is “letMeIn.” Facebook will also accept “LETmEiN” (because that’s a straight-up caps lock reversal) and “LetMeIn” (because that’s incorrect capital for the first letter). It will also accept variations like “1letMeIn” and “letMeIn2” because those are correct except for an additional character at the beginning or end. However, it won’t accept “LETMEIN”, “letmein”, or “12LetMeIn” at all.
This Process is Still Secure
Tumblr media
Seasontime/Shutterstock
At first blush, Facebook’s password lenience sounds insecure. But in this case, the truth is more complicated. While it’s easy to think of old hacker crime dramas that showed quick brute force guessing at a password in mere minutes, hacking doesn’t work that way at all. Brute forcing unknown passwords does exist, but it’s very different than TV implies. As xkcd famously demonstrates, as the length of a password increases, the time to crack it also increases exponentially. Adding complexity helps, but not as much as you might think.
So one of the scenarios that Facebook allows, an extra character at the beginning or the end of the password, would be even harder to brute force. Hackers would already need to have the correct password before they made it to the password plus an extra character.
Of particular interest is the caps lock scenario. I tested this by first manually typing my password into notepad, reversing the case, then pasting that result into Facebook. It denied that password. I then turned on caps lock and typed my password as though cap lock were off, thus reversing the case. That attempt was successful, and I was logged in. Facebook is not only checking what the password is but how you enter it. Brute Force won’t help in that scenario, short of simulating caps lock, which would be more difficult than just aiming for the actual password.
More importantly, brute force methods aren’t the primary method to gain access to social networks and other accounts. Social engineering and password dumps are much simpler to use. If you have password reset questions, there’s a decent chance at least some of the answers are publically accessible information. If your reset question is about your birthplace, mother’s maiden name, or high school mascot, then it’s possible to track the answer down. At that point, a bad-actor can reset your password, making any need to guess or determine the password itself entirely moot.
Unfortunately, many people are still using the same email and password combination at every site that requires login credentials. You don’t have to look far to find instance after instance of data breaches. If you’re using the same email and password combination at more than one place, and have been for years, then your passwords are the vulnerability, not Facebook’s policies.
If you aren’t sure whether you’ve been the victim of a breach, go to haveibeenpwned.com and check to see if your password has been stolen. Chances are you’ve had at least some account compromised somewhere.
You Should Always Secure Your Accounts
Tumblr media
Nicescene/Shutterstock.com
If you’re still worried that this policy leaves you vulnerable, there are steps you can take. The first step is to stop using the same password for every site. Instead, get a password manager and let it generate unique long passwords for every different site you use. Then, the next time you see that a website you used has been compromised, you can change just that one password and feel safe knowing that this one known password won’t do the hackers any good.
After you harden your passwords, turn on two-factor authentication at any site that offers it. Facebook does offer two-factor authentication, so you should set it up there as well. The best two-factor authentication relies on an app with your smartphone that generates a new code frequently or a physical key you keep with you. While SMS-based two-factor authentication is better than nothing, it’s still vulnerable to social engineer techniques. So if you can rely on an authenticator app or a physical key, you should. And have a backup in place in case something happens with your phone or key.
With this combination, your account is far more secure regardless of Facebook’s password policies. You should at the very least use a password manager and unique passwords, but using those in combination with two-factor authentication is better.
Don’t Panic; Enjoy the Convenience
As for Facebook’s password policy, it’s easy to worry that it’s less secure, but the reality is the benefits outweigh the risks. Security is a balancing act. The more you lock down a system, the less convenient it is to access. But as you add more convenient access, you lose security. The trick is getting the right amounts of both to protect your users without frustrating them. Facebook erred on the side of user ease here, and that’s probably an acceptable decision.

Facebook Is Killing Onavo, Its Spyware VPN App
Seasontime/Shutterstock
Facebook is shutting down Onavo, the controversial data collecting app. But the company plans to continue spy-like research in the future.
For those of you who are out of the loop, here’s a quick rundown. Facebook offered a free VPN app called Onavo on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Unsurprisingly, Facebook spied on everyone who used that app. This has been going on for a few years, and it’s had real-world implications. According to Buzzfeed, data obtained by Onovo is the primary reason why Facebook bought WhatsApp.
About a year ago, Facebook was forced to remove Onavo from the Apple App Store, as it conflicted with the Apple privacy policy. But until today, the app remained on the Google Play store. Right now, it’s impossible to download the Onavo app on an iPhone or Android phone. But Facebook will continue supporting the app on phones that downloaded the app before it was taken down, supposedly to spy on any uninformed kids.
Facebook’s (reluctant) decision to discontinue Onavo is a good sign for privacy… Maybe? Facebook says that it will focus on an app called Facebook Research in the future. Facebook Research, which was violently removed from the Apple App Store last month, is an app that pays users $20 a month to be spied on. As you can imagine, most Facebook Research users are kids that haven’t realized the value of their privacy.
Facebook Research is still available on Google Play, but it isn’t accepting new users right now. Since Facebook is continuing support for existing Onavo users, it’s fair to assume that the company is also supporting remaining Facebook Research users.

15 Heart Attack Prevention Tips Every Woman Must Know
Young women need to know about MVD
Theerapol Pongkangsananan/Shutterstock
Coronary microvascular disease (MVD) is a type of heart disease that impacts small blood vessels, and it’s more common in women—particularly young women. Traditional tests that look for blockages in larger arteries can’t detect MVD, the AHA says. You’re better off asking your doctor to give you a questionnaire called the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI), which asks about your ability to partake in activities such as housework, yard work, and sex.
Understand PAD
puhhha/Shutterstock
In the last several years, researchers have come to realize that women have the same or higher risk as men for a condition called peripheral artery disease (PAD)—a narrowing of arteries in the legs and arms, which constricts blood flow. Guidelines put forth in 2011 suggest that both women and their doctors should be educated on the potential risk, especially when women have other risk factors, like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and elevated cholesterol. The signs of PAD include painful cramping after walking, shiny skin on your legs, and coldness in one of your lower legs or foot. These are the 6 most dangerous times for your heart, according to a cardiologist.
Control your blood pressure
Seasontime/Shutterstock
In the last 30 years, the number of women under age 45 with high blood pressure has doubled. As a result, new guidelines from the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association recommend that people with blood pressure readings of 130/80 mm Hg should be treated for high blood pressure (previously it was 140/90). Regular exercise plus a low-sodium diet that features plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, and healthy omega-3 fats (from sources like fatty fish) can do wonders, says Dr. Steinbaum. Next, check out the 14 things you think cause heart disease but actually don’t.

When you think of appendicitis, you probably think of sharp, shooting pains in your midsection. While those pains will come as the infection progresses, a dull discomfort around the navel is an earlier indicator. Other symptoms may include a loss of appetite, fever, nausea, and vomiting. If it is appendicitis, you’ll likely need…

How To Maintain A Solid Relationship With Your Conflicting Sleep Schedules
Relationships can be a lot of work – even when you get to spend time with your partner every day. Add night shift schedules and natural early bird vs. night owl tendencies and issues can arise quickly from lack of quality time together.
There is hope for couples who spend less time together than they’d like. Whether you have opposite sleep schedules and rarely see each other, or you just like to go to bed early while he always sleeps in, we’ve got four tips to help keep your relationship on going strong.
Prioritize time together.
This may seem obvious, but experts suggest that whatever time you can spend together, you should. If time is especially limited, you may want to consider holding off on talking about shared bills and other more household-related tasks, and communicate about those via email so that your physical time together can remain positive and more intimate.
“It might seem impossible, but the most important thing you can do is schedule time together,” writes Thorin Klosowski for Lifehacker. “Whether this is just a couple of meals together a week or a full day off together, make sure you’re making time for the other person whenever you can.”
Creating a shared calendar online – or a real one that you hang on a wall in your house – can help both parties plan ahead. Knowing when your significant other has a long weekend available or even just an afternoon free can help you fit in time together – or allow you to make a sweet gesture with a surprise.

Consider sleeping separately.
While it may be hard to imagine spending even more time apart from your significant other, in some cases sleeping in separate beds– especially when sleep disturbances are a constant issue – can help partners stay more well-rested and happier.
“Sometimes one partner’s nighttime behaviors – loud snoring, sleep talking, restless movements and so forth – are too disruptive,” says the National Sleep Foundation. “In other cases, the ‘fit’ between the couple’s sleeping habits is the problem. Add in conflicting sleep times, differing work schedules and TV habits or electronics and you can see why some partners give up.”
Dr. Jeffrey Durmer, neurologist, sleep medicine physician and Chief Medical Officer at FusionHealth, told NBCNews.com that people who aren’t getting enough sleep tend to experience a lack of judgment, and say and do things they wouldn’t generally do if well-rested.
“People are unable to process emotional content as well when they’re sleep-deprived,” he says. “For a couple, this could lead to miscommunication and perhaps worse relationship issues, and sometimes when you’re sleep-deprived that concept of being mindful of each other and taking each other into consideration, that all goes away.”
Plan time for intimacy.
Whether or not you sleep in the same bed at the same time, there can be benefits to scheduling romantic time with your significant other.
Alicia Sinclair, certified sex educator, told NBCNews.com that since most of us have sex in our bedroom, often before falling asleep together, sleeping in separate beds or rooms just means that a little bit of extra effort, planning and commitment might be necessary. Sinclair said she recommends scheduling sex, even if planning in advance seems to take some of the fun out of it.

Learn to enjoy your alone time.
Operating on different schedules may seem isolating and frustrating at first, but it’s possible to embrace the alone time and make the most of it without becoming resentful.
“Initially, I didn’t like the thought of spending every single night alone. The reality quickly set in that there would be no shared dinners each evening, no spontaneous after-work drinks for the two of us and no waking up together in the mornings for a quick coffee before heading to work,” wrote Sophie Baker for Elite Daily. “You know what, though? I surprised myself. Slowly but surely, I started to enjoy the time alone and see it as a luxury not everybody is lucky enough to experience regularly.”
Even couples who don’t necessarily sleep alone but go to bed and wake up at different times can benefit from the extra independence, say experts.
“Especially in marriages that have gone on for a long time, I hear complaints about not being able to meet with the girlfriends enough or go drinking with the guys,” said Till Roenneberg, a professor of chronobiology at Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich, to the New York Times. “If both parties accept their differences, the late type can go out with the boys at night, and the early type can meet her girlfriends in the morning.”
The silver lining.
If you are working towards a happier relationship despite differing work and sleep schedules, all hope is not lost. Heather Gunn, a psychologist and couples sleep researcher at the University of Pittsburgh, told the New York Times that the most important thing she’s learned is that couples do not need to sleep at the same time in order to have a healthy relationship.
“There’s even some evidence that well-adjusted couples who have mismatched sleep schedules are actually much better at problem-solving,” she said. Gunn also advises couples who sleep at different times to make sure they find other times to connect.

Facebook Fudges Your Password for Your Convenience
If you think the only correct version of your password is the exact capitalization and letter/symbol sequence you use, you may be in a shock. Facebook will accept slight variations of your password, for your convenience. And it’s perfectly safe.
Passwords Are Easy To Mistype
Facebook and other sites like it have a problem. They’d like you to use long and complicated passwords, but those are those are hard to type. You should be using a password manager to take care of that for you, but most people don’t. And because of those two factors, it’s common to mistype your password.
At that point what should Facebook do?
Should they deny you entry just because your password was slightly off, and frustrate you with a second attempt? Or should they recognize that the provided password was likely correct but with a typo and smooth your journey to cat gifs and baby pictures by ignoring the mistake?
Facebook Evaluates Mistakes in Passwords
As Alec Muffet, a former software engineer for the security infrastructure team at Facebook Engineering in London explains, Facebook chose the latter. If your password is very close to correct, they may count it as accurate. The rules for this are straightforward. Facebook will accept an incorrect password if it meets any of these conditions:
You have caps lock turned on, and the capitalizations are reversed.
You enter an extra character at the beginning or end of a password
The first character of the password should be lowercase, but you typed it capitalized
As you can see, these variations are all centered around the basic concept of slightly missing your password when typing. In some cases, this may be an issue of autocorrect, like the first letter of a word being capitalized. If your mistyped password meets these specific rules, you won’t know there was a problem—you’ll just find yourself logged in.
For example, let’s say your password is “letMeIn.” Facebook will also accept “LETmEiN” (because that’s a straight-up caps lock reversal) and “LetMeIn” (because that’s incorrect capital for the first letter). It will also accept variations like “1letMeIn” and “letMeIn2” because those are correct except for an additional character at the beginning or end. However, it won’t accept “LETMEIN”, “letmein”, or “12LetMeIn” at all.
This Process is Still Secure

At first blush, Facebook’s password lenience sounds insecure. But in this case, the truth is more complicated. While it’s easy to think of old hacker crime dramas that showed quick brute force guessing at a password in mere minutes, hacking doesn’t work that way at all. Brute forcing unknown passwords does exist, but it’s very different than TV implies. As xkcd famously demonstrates, as the length of a password increases, the time to crack it also increases exponentially. Adding complexity helps, but not as much as you might think.
