Years ago, in the Dark Ages of desktop software, security was an option. People used software that was insecure by default, but if they knew where to look they could turn on various options that made the software secure. Microsoft Outlook used to be like that: by default it would allow viruses to be emailed to you, but you could...

Buckwheat hulls are lightweight and durable and adjust easily to fit the contours of your body. Their unique triangular shape allows the hulls to lock together to provide firm, even, restful support. Buckwheat hulls allow constant air circulation through the pillow, keeping you cool and dry. Those with allergies to feathers or synthetics will appreciate buckwheat's hypo-allergenic nature. Unlike other pillow fillings, buckwheat hulls (and millet hulls!) do not compress under pressure. This reduces stress on your head and neck. Best of all, buckwheat is natural AND environmentally friendly. Millet is best known as bird seed in America, but this tiny, nutritious grain is eaten daily by many cultures. Milling millet releases the half-spherical hulls from the seed. The hulls are smooth and durable, able to support the weight of your head without losing shape. Millet hulls are a good choice for those who have never owned a hull-filled pillow. They're quiet and slightly heat conserving. Like buckwheat, millet is hypo-allergenic. Millet hulls are also rich in silicic acid which, when released through body heat, can soothe muscle pain, stimulate the metabolism and improve the immune system.

Your willpower is limited, so when you decide to take on something new—whether it's an exercise routine or, say, cooking—you're at least in theory limiting your ability to take on some other habit. But as New York Times writer and author of The Power of Habit Charles Duhigg explains, so-called 'keystone habits' create a chain reaction that can significantly influence the success of other habits. It's like making five good decisions for the price of one. So how do you identify your keystone habits?
