This document discusses media consumption trends over time. It notes that internet usage at breakfast has doubled over the past 5 years, with 16.2% of Australians now using the internet in the morning compared to 8.5% 5 years ago. Newspaper reading at breakfast has declined over this period, being overtaken as the third most common morning media activity. Radio remains the most popular breakfast media at 28.1%, though this too has declined slightly. Morning television usage has remained steady at 23.4%. The document thus summarizes changes in Australians' media preferences and habits at breakfast over the past 5 years.

This document provides an overview of a presentation on understanding the mind and learning abilities. It discusses how neurons form memories through synaptic connections that are strengthened with practice and review. It covers topics like working memory, stereotype threat, the myth that some people have a "math gene", effective study habits, and how sleep and food impact learning. It emphasizes that intelligence is flexible and can be developed through effort over time rather than being fixed at birth. Regular review of material is important for forming strong memories. Studying with others in groups can also help learning.
This document provides an overview of how the brain learns and retains information. It discusses how neurons form memories through synaptic connections that are strengthened with practice and review. It covers working memory and how distractors can hinder it. The "myth" of innate math ability and stereotype threat are also addressed. Effective study habits like reviewing notes, practicing in groups, sleeping enough, and eating properly can optimize learning. The brain strengthens what we practice, so a growth mindset is important for success in mathematics.

The Developer's Guide to Learning - KCDC 2017Arthur Doler
The ability to learn things is an essential part of the developer’s toolkit, which is only getting more important as we march into the future. New technologies and new tools are released constantly - there will probably be at least one new Javascript framework released just in the time it takes you to read this abstract. Even if you’re on a fixed tech stack on a long-running project, you need to evaluate and adapt to new versions of your tools and new software idioms as they're released. The thing is, we’re never really taught HOW to learn things - we’re expected to just figure it out ourselves. It is my opinion that this is Really Terrible. If you share that opinion, do something about it by coming to this talk! We’ll cover the types of learning and how to find which ones work for you. Do you wonder how learning a new framework is different than learning best practices for that framework? We’ll discuss that, too! We’ll also talk about the neuroscience of learning, how your brain connects cause and effect, the tricks your memory plays on you, and more. By the end, you’ll hopefully have the tools you need to learn anything efficiently and effectively.
This document provides dos and don'ts for presenting research. The dos include preparing slides and materials well in advance, limiting the number of slides according to the time allotted, choosing an exciting topic, writing a script, telling a story to engage the audience, and practicing multiple times. The don'ts are to stand still and talk monotonously, use a wide variety of colors and fonts which can be distracting, talk too slowly or too fast, and tell jokes unless the atmosphere is right. Proper preparation and engagement of the audience are keys to a successful research presentation.

I was too burned out to name this talkMajor Hayden
This document discusses burnout and ways to overcome it. It begins by noting that burnout is a serious issue and should not be dealt with alone. The document then defines burnout as an interpersonal phenomenon caused by a lack of control in relationships and work. It identifies some industries like IT, security, and medicine as prone to burnout. The rest of the document discusses signs of burnout and provides three approaches to recovery: getting reinvested in your work, taking a break to examine options, or leaving your job if the issues cannot be resolved. The overall message is that burnout is surmountable but the only way to truly overcome it is with help from others.
Maintaining stable Linux kernels isn't easy. This talk covers the work we are doing at Red Hat to automate the testing of Linux kernels and find bugs before they make it into stable kernels.
Deploying Kubernetes without scaring off your security team - KubeCon 2017Major Hayden
Kubernetes provides plenty of enhancements for deploying software, but it can cause anxiety on the corporate security team. This talk explains how to approach your security team and how to push them to provide guardrails, not deployments.
Securing OpenStack and Beyond with AnsibleMajor Hayden
The openstack-ansible-security role applies security hardening configurations to any system -- those running OpenStack and those that don't -- without disruption.
Grow your community: Inspire an ImpostorMajor Hayden
Impostor syndrome stifles individual performance but it also has a big impact on open source communities. This talk explains how to recognize impostor syndrome and reduce its impact on software communities.
Holistic Security for OpenStack CloudsMajor Hayden
Nothing clears out a conference room faster than a discussion around information security. Securing complex computer systems, such as OpenStack clouds, is extremely difficult. To make matters worse, attackers can make many mistakes without consequences. A defender’s single mistake could lead to a breach.
Don't let fear rule the discussion around security.
Operators need a simple and scalable method for securing OpenStack clouds. That starts with grouping components into compartments and then looking at how those compartments interact with each other. Those interactions form the backbone of security policies and technical controls.
In this vendor-neutral talk, Major Hayden, principal architect at Rackspace, will break down the complexity of securing OpenStack clouds using real-world scenarios. Attendees will learn how to:
Divide OpenStack deployments into compartments
Analyze the interactions between each component
Develop security policies and apply technical controls
When flexibility met simplicity: the friendship of OpenStack and AnsibleMajor Hayden
Ansible is an open source tool that automates IT infrastructure and reduces complexity. It can manage OpenStack deployments and operations through flexible automation while keeping OpenStack's flexibility. The presentation showed how Ansible can help OpenStack operators, administrators and deployers automate tasks like launching instances, managing projects and users, and deploying OpenStack itself. It concluded by recommending ways to get started with Ansible like reading the documentation, joining communities, and finding open source projects that use Ansible with OpenStack.
Flexible, simple deployments with OpenStack-AnsibleMajor Hayden
I gave this talk at the OpenStack Austin Meetup on June 20, 2016. The talk covers the reasons why OpenStack-Ansible exists and the value that it brings for production OpenStack deployments.
Automated Security Hardening with OpenStack-AnsibleMajor Hayden
The OpenStack-Ansible project has a security role that applies over 200 host security hardening configurations in less than two minutes. It's based on the Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) from the US federal government and it is heavily customized to work well with an OpenStack environment.
With new vulnerabilities surfacing daily, businesses need a solid strategy and internal plans to deal with them. This vendor-neutral talk helps people discover the things they need to do to get their house in order before considering costly technology purchases.
Five things I learned about information securityMajor Hayden
I delivered this presentation at the University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio, Texas, to a group of students studying information security. They're learning plenty about the technical aspects of information security, but I wanted to talk to them about the non-technical aspects as well. This presentation is meant to be a low-tech, more social introduction on how to handle security within a large organization.
Be an inspiration, not an impostor (Texas Linux Fest 2015)Major Hayden
Impostor syndrome is common within the technical world but it's not well defined and difficult to identify. My talk goes into detail around defining it, identifying it, and overcoming it. We can work together as a community to use common frameworks, like OODA, to have a better approach to social situations.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Media as a Mind Controlling Strategy In Old and Modern Era
Taming the Technical Talk
1. Taming the Technical Talk
Major Hayden
@majorhayden
Rackspace Tech Talk Tuesday -- January 5, 2016
2. Who am I?
I started at
Rackspace in 2006
I love Fedora Linux,
python, OpenStack,
and information
security
I root for underdogs
(including Houston
Texans, Houston
Astros, and SELinux)
I own over
60 domain names
(I have a problem)
I enjoy being the
whipping boy for new
technologies
I love watching that
Keith Morrison guy
on Dateline NBC
(orrrr, do I?)
3. Agenda
1. My amazingly horrific
breakthrough moment
2. What this presentation is really
about
3. Changing the world
6. This talk is NOT about
how to make good slides
(although I’ll cover that briefly later)
7. This talk is about
how to make an IMPACT
(cue the dramatic music here)
8. Making a point
“If you have an important
point to make, don't try to
be subtle or clever. Use a
pile driver. Hit the point
once. Then come back and
hit it again. Then hit it a
third time - a tremendous
whack.”
― Winston S. Churchill
10. Getting over
the fear
This may work for some people,
but let’s choose something more
productive (and HR-friendly).
“Winston Churchill
overcame his early fear of
audiences by imagining that
each of them was sitting
there naked.”
-- Dorothy Samoff
Speech Can Change Your Life
11. Imagine that everyone in your audience
signed a contract to do ONE THING
you ask of them during your talk.
27. Appealing
to the rider
Unlike the elephant, the rider
responds well to reason
Facts
Statistics
Examples
Comparisons
Demonstrations
28. The rider can make small adjustments to
the elephant’s path based on reason.
However, the rider will
get tired quickly if the elephant
is going in a very different direction.
29. Shaping the path
Now that the audience
understands your message and
wants to take action, what do
they do now?
Offer a challenge with a simple
implementation
Provide links to documentation
and/or your code repository
One-step installations are helpful
here
31. All of your preparation, effort,
and emotional investment
is worth nothing
if you can’t deliver it
32. Timeframe for preparing a talk
DEMANDS, APPEAL, AND OUTLINE MAKE SLIDES PRACTICE
My rule of thumb:
One hour of preparation per five minutes of talking time
(That’s six hours of preparation for a half hour talk)
50% 25% 25%
34. Slides exist to ENHANCE your talk,
not REPLACE or DISTRACT from it.
35. Bullets are okay
But they can get
out of hand quickly
Keep them brief
Make them useful
Appendices for long comments
36. Keep the slides moving.
Get a new slide on screen
every one to two minutes (or faster).
37. Record audio while
you practice
It’s less stressful than
recording video
You can focus on what you’re
saying, not how you look
when you’re saying it
Refine your slides, your
speech, or both as you listen
to the playback
38. Share your talk with friends or
coworkers for new perspectives
40. Handling questions without rambling
1-2-3 method
Provide three short responses, calling out the number each time
Past, present, future
Compare the past, how it is today, and a desired state
(Good for difficult/pointy questions)
