When the students at this Maine high school got detention, they would sit in a classroom for a few hours after school.

A counselor had the idea to offer students an option to hike instead. After their first hikes, they found it improved their moods.

School offers hikes instead of detention. Teachers are seeing results.

“People seem really different in a good way at the end,” said Leslie Trundy, a Maine high school counselor and avid hiker.

there's something cathartic in seeing someone appropriately mad about a bad thing, this is the opposite of 2009 Rick Santelli yapping about "losers' mortgages"

To shut down rude behavior instantly, try a simple yet powerful five-word response.

Use this 5-word phrase when someone is rude to you—it's like 'holding up a mirror,' says public speaking expert

When we encounter a rude person, our first instinct might be to fire back with a snarky comment. But that's not the right move, says public speaking expert John Bowe. Here's the perfect response to instantly shut down rude behavior.

it's always so damn depressing when you look at what the changes involved in one of these herculean housing struggles are and it's... a 5 over 1 half a mile around a subway stop

don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good etc etc, but good lord

The height limits per Tier are as follows:
Tier 1: 9 stories adjacent to the stop, 7 stories within ¼ mile, 6 stories between ¼ and ½ mile
Tier 2: 8 stories adjacent to the stop, 6 stories within ¼ mile, 5 stories between ¼ and ½ mile
Tier 3: 7 stories adjacent to the stop, 5 stories within ¼ mile, 4 stories between ¼ and ½ mile*
