BWB vs. TFE Email Exchange(Prehumous Celebration)
W: I guess you still need to edit my manuscript after all.
T: Yes, I correct everyone except for my wife.
W: I have found that any type of feedback to my wife results in an unstable system. This is difficult because she is open-loop unstable.
T: Positive FB leads to stability, but negative FB causes instability, so maybe your wife is uncontrollable.

Taking a Nap Makes you Brainier
• According to University of California scientists, a lunchtime nap not only refreshes you, but can actually make you smarter.
• 39 students were given a tricky learning task at noon, and then some were sent off for forty winks. Later that day, they were all given a new set of tests. The students who had stayed awake did rather worse at these, the nappers were better at learning.
• Sleep is needed to clear the brain’s short-term memory storage and make room for new information.
