Body language has all sorts of influences on people and we use it to communicate in many situations without even being aware that we are doing so. Most of us have a vague understanding of what body language is but might be hard pressed to pin a definition on the concept. Essentially though it is reasonably straight forward. Body language is any method of communication using our body. It includes both verbal (what we say, our tone and the volume we use) and non-verbal (body movements, facial expressions, hand gestures and posture. These different elements sometimes communicate more than we mean them to and they have accurately been described as ‘a silent orchestra that can have long-lasting repercussions’.
Cognitive distortions - Depression and anxiety.Koduvayur Anand
A cognitive distortion is an exaggerated or irrational thought pattern involved in the onset and perpetuation of psychopathological states, especially those more influenced by psychosocial factors, such as depression and anxiety.
In this slideshow some most important cognitive distortions are discussed

Most of use dream to do something different based on our passion like starting a bussiness, acquiring degree ,writing book /novel but ended up doing nothing about it?
A fear of regret — which is a powerful driver of maintaining the status quo in our lives — may be to blame.
As research in psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral science has unveiled, regret can have a huge impact on our lives.
Money and relationships are arguably the two issues that consume most of our emotional and mental resources, and regret affects our behavior in both.
When it comes to money, a famous bias linked to regret is the “disposition effect.” This describes how investors hold on tight to losing assets.
Whether it be a mutual fund, a specific stock, or even the cryptocurrency Bit coin, we are extremely reluctant to sell an asset at a loss.
In fact, we rather hang on to it as it keeps dropping in value, hoping it will pick up again — regardless of whether that is likely.
The driving force behind this behavior is our fear of regret, which makes us stick with the status quo even if our reasoning or intuition says we shouldn’t.
We are unwilling to sell the asset at a loss because, if we do, we have to admit to ourselves that we made a mistake in buying it in the first place.
Holding on to it, therefore, allows us to avoid regret for the time being.
Bereavement ( Due to the death of someone close to us )
Is the most severe stressor imaginable
It is a time of overwhelming emotions.
Can be profoundly painful and distressing.
Brings a high risk of mental and physical health problems for a long time
Normal reaction in every culture across the world.
If ooccasionally aware in advance about someone's certain end of his/ her life then the experience of grieving partly begins before their death occurs.
Despite these feelings it may be possible to plan ahead for this difficult time which
Can help reduce the complications in the
First hours and days of bereavement, and
Later as you struggle to carry on.
Can be comforting because you are able just to cope with the circumstances without the added pressure to “get yourself together” and sort things out

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

3. SOCIAL JUDGMENT THEORY Sounds like it explains a lot of the whole “judgment” issue, doesn’t it? Well, there’s so much more to it!
4. Social Judgment Theory (SJT) helps predict how successful persuasion will be by relating how close or far the message is to the belief already held by the person you are trying to persuade.
5. SJT aka Ego-involvement theory. Basically, the more ego-involved one iswith a situation, usually the more knowledgeable in the subject…therefore making the person much harder to persuade. Go on, go on!
7. Everything found not worthy of being acceptable or being fully rejected Latitude of rejection Latitude of acceptance Latitude of noncommitment Everything found acceptable Everything found rejected ACCORDING TO SJT, TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PERSUADER, YOU HAVE TO MAKE AN ARGUMENT THAT APPEALS WITHIN THE PERSON’S LATITUDE OF ACCEPTANCE! PERSUASION IS SOMETHING WE ALL ENCOUNTER. SINCE WE ALL WANT TO BE SUCCESFUL PERSUADERS, SJT IS SUPER IMPORTANT BY HELPING US LEARN NOT ONLY HOW TO BE A STAR PERSUADER, BUT ALSO WHY WE ARE EASILY/NOT EASILY PERSUADED!
8. The more ego-involved one is The more narrow latitude of acceptance held The wider latitude of rejection held
9. Assimilation the degree to which the new idea is accepted SJT’s connection to persuasion Anchor beginning position held about the subject Contrast effect Contrasting belief compared to our own, leading to failed persuasion
10. Based on the concept of assimilation, if you told Muffy that life with possible parole (#7) should be what is done with murderers, since it is close to her anchor, she will see it as closer to her own belief and will more easily accept it with persuasion. EXAMPLE? ANCHOR
11. Based on the concept of contrast effect, if you told Mort that a slap on the wrist (#2) is what should be done with murderers, it would be very hard to persuade him due to it being so far from Mort’s anchor. EXAMPLE? ANCHOR
12. Гм ... наанглийскомязыкетеперь, пожалуйста? ... Um ... en Inglésahora, por favor? ... Um ... imBéarla le do thoilanois? ... ええと...英語で現在してください！... Euh ... en anglaismaintenants'ilvousplaît? ... Um ... in ingleseora per favore? ... Um…in English now please?...
15. Bruce is given a fish to eat & is told that it weighs 15 pounds.
16. After the 15 lb. fish (the ANCHOR), he is then thrown a bag of fish to eat that is 25 pounds and then one that is 60 pounds. (he wasn’t told the weight of the last two bags but is told to guess)
17. According to SJT, Bruce would guess that the 25 lb. bag of fish weighs about the same as the 15 lb. fish (or close). On the other hand, when guessing the weight of the 60 lb. bag of fish, Bruce would guess it to be much heavier than it really was. Because it is closer to his anchor and his latitude of acceptance! Because it is farther away from his anchor and latitude of acceptance!
18. Remember the 3 important concepts of SJT mentioned earlier?! DO YA? DO YA?
19. These relate to Bruce’s situation HOW?! Latitude of acceptance Latitude of rejection 25 lb. bag 60 lb. bag 15 lb. bag = Bruce’s anchor
20. The same goes for everyday persuasion. The closer the argument is to the belief of the one being persuaded, the easier it will be to persuade them.
21. m a king sense I hope!? We’re almost don’e! I promise!
22. In a persuading situation, SJT says that a person basically hears the argument and involuntarily makes an immediate decision based on how the individual already feels about that topic. Different persuasion techniques are effective with different people.
23. Other influences on the success of persuasion are: Past experiences with the situation Ex: using models that are only size 0. Is that really what is wanted or is it just assumed because that is what is more commonly seen? Who would more likely have a stronger argument on teasing? Majority misconceptions Group formation Ego-Involvement This is the range of acceptance one holds. The more involved with a situation, the more one is ego-involved. One will be more easily persuaded by one in the “same group” as themselves.
24. How big of a part does ego-involvement really play in persuasion being successful or unsuccessful? How is persuasion being studied? – as an influence on attitude CHANGE or attitude FORMATION? What exactly is considered attitude change? To some, it is a complete change of the position held, but to some, it is ANY change (even if only a slight change) to how the person originally saw the situation. Criticism? With the latitudes of acceptance and rejection being different for everyone, it is questioned as to how precise the reliance on these latitudes is when trying to persuade. It is hard to know whether appealing to these latitudes are truly making a majority of the success in persuasion due to not being able to totally confirm whether the width of the latitudes is due to the individual person or to the topic the persuasion is dealing with.
