Study of Students in Segregated System of Loudoun County VirginiaLarry Roeder
This is a draft chart examining students who were taught by Christine Allen (C.A.) and Mary Dean Johnson (M.D.J)
between 1917 and 1941, mostly at the Conklin Colored School; but also at Greggsville, Rockhill and Bull Run.
If you know anyone listed in the chart, please send information to Larry Roeder at roederaway@yahoo.com.
The list will be updated as new information comes in.
The document summarizes two movies about coping with stress - Amélie and Destressed. In Amélie, the protagonist copes with her lonely childhood by spreading happiness to others. Destressed follows a man's journey to reduce his stress by meeting others who face hardships positively. Some lessons are to find joy in small things, connect with others, be grateful, and create your own destressing story. The document also provides background on stress and strategies to improve coping skills.
Stress and anxiety have similar physical responses but different causes. Stress is caused by external factors like deadlines, while anxiety is caused by internal worries or fears. Mobile apps can help manage stress through biofeedback, yoga, meditation, and fitness tracking. The document discusses different types of stress and provides tips on improving stress management skills by learning frameworks, applying them, sharing insights, and training others.

The document summarizes two TED talks about coping with emotions. The first talk discusses emotional courage and how suppressing emotions only makes them stronger. The second talk explains that we experience psychological injuries like loneliness, rejection, and failure that require emotional first aid, such as acknowledging the injury and using distractions to break rumination. The document also provides background on coping with emotions and lists life skills areas including decision making, problem solving, and coping with stress.
The document summarizes two movies that illustrate decision-making skills: 12 Angry Men and Sully. In 12 Angry Men, one juror sticks to his decision of "not guilty" and convinces the other jurors through questioning the evidence. Sully depicts the pilot who landed a damaged plane on the Hudson River, saving all passengers through remaining calm under pressure. The document also discusses improving decision-making skills through learning frameworks and applying, sharing, and training others in the decision-making process.
RJ's (radio jockeys) are examples of effectively coping with emotions as they must maintain composure while broadcasting to thousands despite receiving negative or awkward comments and questions. To do so, RJs practice rituals like taking deep breaths upon entering the studio to drop past emotions and focus on the present moment. They also reach the studio early to relax and avoid stress. The document then discusses understanding emotions and different coping techniques people can practice like mindfulness, focusing on one's purpose, and following the LAST model of learning skills, applying them, sharing insights, and training others.
The document summarizes two TED talks about coping with stress. The first talk discusses how 10 minutes of mindfulness can help nurture the mind. The second talk explains how viewing stress as helpful rather than harmful can make you healthier and that stress causes the release of oxytocin which motivates seeking social support under stress. The document also provides background on stress and defines life skills as psychosocial abilities that enable dealing with life's demands.
This document provides an overview of a 16-session beta group that will take place over 8 weeks and focus on alternative business models for therapists. It notes that the group will explore moving beyond a traditional one-on-one therapy model to developing multiple streams of therapy income through products and services. Participants are encouraged to reflect on how this approach could change their mindsets, niches, solutions offered and feelings about finances.

Neuro-management: a new art of life
The latest neuro-science research into the functioning of our brain has opened new perspectives into understanding ourselves and our interactions with others. The only sustainable power we have is in ourselves.
The first insight is that a majority of stress comes from within ourselves and not our environment. A second and perhaps more important finding is our ability to switch modes of thought from stressfull to serene. Consider learning a method that leads to inner peace, emotional and adaptive intelligence which also addresses the whole. How? that was the thematic of the conference of Jean-Luc Roux

Cognitive Fitness and the Mature Workforce: Opportunities and ChallengesSharpBrains
This document summarizes a presentation on cognitive fitness and the mature workforce. It discusses how lifestyle factors and training can help protect the ability to learn in older adults, though learning may be slower in completely new areas. It also notes that age alone is not the best predictor of cognitive performance, and that cognitive fitness is an emerging issue for human resources departments to address.
Change Your Mind, Change Your Business: How to Train Your Brain for Optimal S...Jonathan Jordan
This document discusses how to train the brain for optimal success. It explains that the brain can change itself through neuroplasticity. Chronic stress puts the brain into a "fight or flight" response that impacts mental clarity and problem-solving. Mindfulness practices like meditation can help detach from emotions and reduce stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. Both sides of the brain work best together, so goals should be created holistically using imagery before making logical plans. Multitasking is ineffective as the brain can only focus on one task at a time. Training the brain through mindfulness can enhance self-esteem, reduce anxiety, and improve emotion regulation and brain function.
1) The document discusses the resilience of older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic. While older adults are at highest risk of death from COVID-19, studies show they are withstanding the mental health impacts better than other age groups.
2) It provides tips for older adults to maintain brain and memory health, such as exercising their brain through games, keeping routines, telling jokes, and taking courses on new topics of interest. Regular exercise and social interaction are also recommended.
3) When communicating with younger generations, the document advises older adults to avoid "boomer fables" and instead connect through open-ended questions and finding shared interests between the generations.
