The document summarizes research showing that cell phone use can negatively impact learning and attention. It discusses how the brain has two systems - an automatic intuitive system and a slower rational system. Cell phones overload the rational system, making it impossible to focus and learn. It also explains how social media apps are designed to take advantage of dopamine responses and conditioning to make users addicted to checking their phones constantly. The conclusion warns that spending time on apps means others profit from users' addiction and wasting opportunities for self-improvement.
A New Model: Advancing Organizational Security Through PeacebuildingMichele Chubirka
Why is the security industry so full of fail? We spend millions of dollars on firewalls, IPS, IDS, DLP, professional penetration tests and assessments, and vulnerability and compliance tools, and at the end of the day, the weakest link is the user and his or her inability to make the right choices. It's enough to make a security engineer cry.
The one thing you can depend upon in an enterprise is that many of your users, even with training, will still make the wrong choices. They will violate BYOD restrictions, click on links they shouldn't, respond to phishing scams, open documents without thinking, post too much information on Twitter and Facebook, use their pet's name as passwords, etc. But what if this isn't because users hate us or are too stupid? What if all our ignored policies and procedures regarding the best security practices have more to do with our failure to understand modern neuroscience and the human mind's resistance to change?
Humans are wired to be emotional beings. Emotions influence most of our decisions, good and bad. In failing to understand how this is at the root of user non-compliance, no matter how much money we spend on expensive hardware and software, we will fail to achieve the goal of good organizational security.

A rule based approach towards detecting human temperamentijcsit
This paper presented a rule based system for detecting human temperament.. The system was developed to
provide support for an expert psychologist in properly predicting the temperament of an individual as well
as given advice to the user. The system does this by following specified rules. Of this, we have deduced
some features that makes up known temperament types from which the system can accurately classify the
user‘s temperament based on the person‘s characters. Also, our work is solely limited to temperament, any
expert advice sought from and given by the system is limited to this scope.

Section 4.1 Rewind—Fast Forward
A public high school, where dropping out and low attendance were problematic, instituted
a guitar instruction class during the last period of the day. The class was open to students
who attended all the day’s classes. The result, for those students who attended the class, was
a significant increase in school attendance and graduation rates. When the school dropped
the class, there was a significant dip in these students’ school attendance and graduation
rates. This decline was attributed, at least in part, to disengagement by the students who had
maintained attendance and passing grades in their other classes to enjoy the pleasure of the
guitar class.
What is particularly distressing is that the reduction in the subjects, activities, and clubs that
students find most appealing is taking place at a time when the dropout rate in the United
States hovers near 40% in large cities. When surveyed about reasons for dropping out, the
most frequent reason given is that school is “boring.” When asked for further detail about
what makes school boring, students indicated that the information they were taught was not
interesting or relevant to their lives (Yazzie Mintz, 2010, p. 7).
As you will discover in this chapter, positive, personally relevant learning experiences increase
engagement and serve as powerful motivators for sustained effort and persevering through
challenges. Even when various stressors and negativity are reducing students’ engagement
and success in school, their motivation can be resuscitated when they are presented with
gratifying learning experiences that can correlate with achievement of personal goals.
This chapter explores the neuroscience of emotions and of school-related stressors, including
boredom and frustration, followed by strategies that promote the positive emotional state
needed for successful learning. These strategies help students build personal connections to
topics of study so they valu ...
Utilizing recent neuroscience research, this presentation builds awareness of 5 key factors which enable leaders to more effectively communicate in ways that build connection through the establishment of safety and respect.

The class of 20 students is divided into two teams, having 10 students in each team. The teacher makes two columns on the board for team A and team B. Teacher points out, Yesterday in our history class we studied about the civil rights movement I hope you have well-prepared that topic. Let’s start an informal quiz based on yesterday’s topic. Are you guys ready? Students say, “Yes”! Teacher starts asking questions. Team A! Which sports Jackie Robinson played? Students raised their hands. Robert? Can you give the answer? Robert says soccer. Teacher appreciating Robert’s effort says very good Robert and write 10 under the column of Team A. Next question for Team B, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. went to the college to become? Students raise their hands. James, can you answer? James says, “Minister”. Teacher appreciates the attempt but the answer is not correct. Ok! Now, what you guys think what was the main contribution of Abraham Lincoln?Timothy raised his hand and replied, he brought freedom and abolish slavery. Rosie raised her hand and replied, he ran the country being a president of the country. Teacher says, when we freedom was attained by the African American it was not solely due to Abraham Lincoln. Who played the actual role? Joseph replies, African Americans themselves. Teacher appreciated Joseph’s answer saying absolutely right. No leader can bring freedom from slavery or racism until its people are themselves not ready to put their efforts. Nation needs to be united to get rid of inequality.

Focus the hidden driver of excellence- SummaryGMR Group
Daniel Goleman begins by explaining how we pay attention, how we focus and how we make fundamental decisions based on an overview of the anatomy of our brain. He explains the difference between “bottom up” thinking, where our more primitive brain (the amygdala) drives basic reactive thought and instinct based fast thought, such as what drives us (food, sex, emotion) and the slower “top down” thinking that emanates from our more advanced pre-frontal cortex or executive functioning brain. Critically to understand how these work one must also understand how they conflict and how they complement one another. Understanding the way the brain works helps us understand and influence whether we merely react or whether we control our thought.
The book then goes on to explore a somewhat eclectic selection of brain functions and attributes that form our thought processes. He explores how we perceive others, or “read” them; the role of empathy in our thinking; how we perceive patterns or fail to; how we act upon immediate threats but largely ignore distant threats; and how these thinking patterns help us to succeed and to fail.
He discusses how not the amount of practice but the quality of practice defines how proficient we are. He challenges the 10,000 hour myth, in which it is argued that a talent or skill is developed to proficiency with 10,000 hours of practice explaining that proficiency and mastery require quality practice for many hours.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

two systems:
● a fast, intuitive, lazy system
● A slow, rational, diligent system
(This is a METAPHOR used to understand
the results of scientific studies)
5. Dual Process Theory
Automatic System 1 Reflective System 2
Uncontrolled Controlled
Effortless Effortful
Associative Deductive
Fast Slow
Unconscious Self-aware

On the following slide, try to say the
colour of the text, instead of the
written word.

8. Stroop Test
Lesson: Our automatic System 1
response can impede System 2
processing. We really need to focus to
complete complex tasks.
9. Add 1 test
● Work in pairs
● One person will look at the screen, and read a
series of 4 digits (ex. 6789), keeping a steady
beat (one digit per second)
● The other person will wait one beat, and then
repeat the 4 digits, adding 1 to each (ex. 7890)
● You must keep a steady beat
● If this is too easy, try adding 3 to each digit!
14. Conclusion
Cell phones demand our full attention, even
when we are using them for trivial
purposes. It is impossible to retain the
information presented in class (in other
words, to learn) if we are not fully present.
17. How does this work?
“Dopamine is a chemical produced by our brains that plays a
starring role in motivating behavior. It gets released when we
take a bite of delicious food, after we exercise, and,
importantly, when we have successful social interactions. In
an evolutionary context, it rewards us for beneficial behaviors
and motivates us to repeat them.”

18. “Every time a response to
a stimulus results in a
reward, these associations
become stronger through
a process called long-term
potentiation. This process
strengthens frequently
used connections
between brain cells called
neurons by increasing the
intensity at which they respond to particular stimuli. Although not as intense as
hit of cocaine, positive social stimuli will similarly result in a release of
dopamine, reinforcing whatever behavior preceded it. ”

19. Conditioning:
“if we perceive a reward to be delivered at
random, and if checking for the reward comes
at little cost, we end up checking habitually
(e.g. gambling addiction).”

20. Do you think the makers of
“free” social media apps and
games are benevolent? What
do they want from you?
21. Conclusion
Nothing is free. The more time you spend
on an app, the more money someone else
is making. You are being trained to be an
addict. Even worse, if you’re doing this
instead of school work, then you are wasting
your opportunity to better yourself.
22. Who do you want to become?
“A man* who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably
have his choice made for him by circumstance.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern
Gentleman, 1955-1967
