La concentration repose sur une capacité fondamentale de notre cerveau : filtrer les informations. À chaque instant, nos sens reçoivent des centaines de signaux – sons, images, odeurs… Mais pour rester attentif à une tâche, le cerveau doit opérer un tri sélectif entre ce qui est pertinent et ce qui ne l'est pas. C'est justement ce mécanisme qu'explique une étude de 2015 menée par des chercheurs de l'Institut de neurosciences de l'université de New York, qui ont identifié un acteur clé : le noyau réticulé thalamique, ou NRT.Le NRT est une structure en forme d'anneau située autour du thalamus, lui-même au centre du cerveau. Il agit comme un commutateur attentionnel. Concrètement, lorsque nous dirigeons notre attention vers un stimulus (par exemple un texte à lire), les neurones du NRT réduisent l'intensité des signaux sensoriels concurrents – comme les bruits ambiants, les mouvements visuels ou même les sensations tactiles. C'est ce qu'on appelle la sélection attentionnelle.L'étude, publiée dans Nature Neuroscience, a montré que ces neurones inhibiteurs du NRT peuvent désactiver temporairement certaines voies sensorielles au profit d'autres. Ainsi, lorsque vous vous concentrez sur la lecture, le NRT limite le traitement des sons ou des images parasites. Mais ce filtrage a ses limites. Si un bruit soudain ou inhabituel surgit – comme une voix forte ou une porte qui claque – le NRT réoriente l'attention vers cette nouvelle source, même si elle est sans intérêt. C'est un mécanisme de vigilance automatique, hérité de l'évolution, destiné à détecter les dangers.Autrement dit, le bruit capte l'attention non pas parce qu'il est pertinent, mais parce qu'il rompt l'équilibre sensoriel imposé par le NRT. Plus le bruit est irrégulier, imprévisible ou porteur d'information (comme une conversation), plus il sollicite le système attentionnel… au détriment de la tâche en cours.Cette redirection constante de l'attention a un coût : chaque interruption impose au cerveau un "temps de réinitialisation" de plusieurs secondes, durant lequel la performance cognitive chute. Ce phénomène s'appelle le coût de rebasculage attentionnel.En résumé, le bruit est néfaste à la concentration car il court-circuite le système de filtrage du cerveau, piloté par le noyau réticulé thalamique. Il force le cerveau à jongler entre les sources sensorielles, réduisant ainsi notre efficacité, notre mémoire de travail, et notre capacité à accomplir des tâches complexes. Hébergé par Acast.

Welcome to the 93rd episode of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino explore the art of transmission in Buddhism: wisdom and teachings being passed down over time, from teacher to student. The hosts touch on the profound and nuanced ways in which Buddhist teachings and insights are passed down through generations, with the goal of cultivating understanding, compassion, and liberation; the role of nature as a powerful transmitter of wisdom; the significance of rituals and ceremonies in honoring this transmission; and more. Brother Phap Huu emphasizes the importance of deep listening, humility, and direct experience in the transmission process, and how true transmission goes beyond the imparting of knowledge, to a requirement that both teacher and student be in a state of non-self and openness to receive the teachings. Enjoy!

It doesn’t start with us, doesn’t end with us. Instead, we are part of this extraordinary flow of life.” “Listening is the first doorway to communication. And many of us think that communication is about speaking or writing. But the foundation for speaking and for writing is listening.” “When the Buddha embarked on a spiritual quest, he was looking for an understanding of suffering and a liberation from suffering. And the way of liberation from suffering is to be in suffering, to understand suffering, to embrace it and not run away from it, but transform it. Therefore, Buddhism is a way of life. So mindfulness is a way of life. Transmission is a way of life.” “When you hear the sound of the bell in the Plum Village tradition, you’re invited to pause and stop what you're doing. Even if you’re listening to music, or having a wonderful, insightful conversation, you are invited to pause, to stop. And that stopping is a transmission of knowing how to cultivate stillness in life, in order to listen.” “What we say, how we say it, and the tone of saying it creates a reality. That creates a transmission of knowledge, a transmission of feelings, a transmission of energy.” “Buddhism is a very generous tradition. The Buddha offers, the teachers offer – and you’re the receiver. You can receive. Using the language of ‘I am receiving' is very different from ‘I am taking.' Or, even worse, ‘I am stealing.' Because stealing indicates that something is now yours; it belongs to you. But when you receive, you gain a responsibility to transmit.” “To receive, we have to ask.”

In this episode of Beer and Money, Ryan Burklo and Alex Collins discuss the three most common portfolio mistakes they encounter with clients. They emphasize the importance of understanding asset classes, avoiding over-concentration in US large stocks, and ensuring proper diversification to mitigate risks. The conversation highlights the significance of a balanced investment strategy and the need for clients to be aware of their portfolio's composition and associated risks. Check out our website: beerandmoney.net For a quick assessment of your current financial life go to: https://www.livingbalancesheet.com/lbsVision/lite/RyanBurklo Takeaways Clients often over-concentrate their investments in US large stocks. Many investors are unaware of the overlap in their mutual funds. Diversification is essential to manage risk effectively. Understanding asset classes can lead to better investment decisions. Investing should not be based solely on past performance. Proper portfolio construction can enhance returns without increasing risk. Clients often do not realize the risks associated with their portfolios. The S&P 500 is heavily influenced by a few large tech companies. Investors should look forward, not just at past performance. A balanced portfolio is crucial for long-term success.

Tim Quast discusses why stocks could struggle to sustain a broadening rally beyond the largest names, such as those in the S&P 500. He says less than 10% of trading volume comes from fundamental stock picking, while models and high-frequency traders drive around 75% of volume. With 90% of assets concentrated in large caps and only 5% in the Russell 2000, Quast believes it's mathematically unlikely for the market to sustain a meaningful shift into smaller stocks.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

When preparing for fundraising or an exit to private equity, one overlooked metric can derail your deal: customer concentration risk. In episode #308, Ben Murray explains what customer concentration is, why it matters to investors, and how it can directly impact your SaaS valuation. If too much of your revenue comes from just one or two customers, that risk may scare off private equity buyers or lower your valuation. Ben breaks down how to measure concentration, when it becomes a problem, and why you should start planning now — long before you enter a due diligence process.What You'll Learn• What customer concentration is and how to calculate it.• Why concentration risk is a key investor metric in fundraising and exit planning.• How high concentration can lower a company's valuation.• The difference between strategic buyers and private equity when assessing risk.• Why SaaS operators must monitor revenue mix as part of long-term financial strategy.Why It Matters• Finance & fundraising impact: High concentration can reduce your chances of raising capital or exiting at a premium.• Valuation risk: Heavy reliance on a small number of customers lowers buyer confidence.• Investor confidence: PE firms and strategic buyers want diversified, predictable revenue streams.Resources MentionedSaaS Metrics for Investors – What Drives Valuation: https://www.thesaasacademy.com/the-saas-metrics-foundationQuote from Ben“If one customer makes up 25% of revenue, that's a huge risk to a buyer — especially in private equity.”

They break down Morningstar's “Mind the Gap” study and explain why your behavioral return often lags the market return.

On dit souvent d'un joueur qu'il n'a pas de mental pour expliquer une contre-performance. Concentration, gestion des émotions, visualisation, le terme « mental » est bien plus vaste qu'on ne le pense. Ancien entraîneur notamment de Gilles Simon, Corentin Moutet ou Stéphane Robert, Ronan Lafaix, notre invité, s'est spécialisé dans ce domaine. Alors quelle est la part du mental dans le tennis actuel ? Existe-t-il des différences entre les hommes et les femmes ? Les Français n'ont-ils vraiment pas de mental ? Réponses dans « Air Open ».Air Open est disponible sur toutes les plateformes de podcast et le site L'Équipe. Présenté et réalisé par Maxime Monthioux, avec Julien Reboullet. Invité : Ronan Lafaix.

DSD 6.8 | That is where you should put your money For years researchers have sought out to better understand control mechanisms for a successful transition into lactation from the dry period. We've learned changing body condition score during the dry period is not acceptable, but what if it changes during late lactation? How does this impact energy partitioning for the next lactation? Well managed high producing cows with high fertility might find themselves bred back in less than the “textbook ideal” condition score heading into the dry period. Can we alter the late lactation ration to successfully increase condition with little impact? Dr. Laura Hernandez from the University of Wisconsin worked with a team of researchers at the Forage Center to better understand what is happening if high energy is fed late in lactation through extensive data collection to determine the possible potential carry over effects for subsequent lactations. Listen into this compelling discussion as we learn more about the “black box” we know as the transition dairy cow and what phase to invest in to maximize your return.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Berachot we recite each day can easily become a rote exercise, a text that we recite mindlessly, mechanically, to discharge our duty, without concentration and without emotion. The Misvot and Berachot that are required on rare occasions generally tend to generate a great deal of excitement, whereas those which apply each day receive far less attention and don't arouse much enthusiasm, because they are part of our regular routine. But the truth is that the daily Berachot are especially important – and it is specifically because of their unique importance that they are required each and every day. There is a Halachic principle of "Tadir Ve'she'eno Tadir, Tadir Kodem" – Misvot which apply more frequently are to precede Misvot which are observed less frequently. This shows us that the more frequent Misvot are generally more important, and thus deserve greater attention, not less. Birkot Ha'shahar, the blessings we recite each morning, pose a particularly difficult challenge by virtue of the fact that they are recited not only each day, but also early in the morning, before we are fully awake. Many people, unfortunately, fail to give these Berachot the focus and emotion that ought to accompany their recitation, and do not say them with Kavana (concentration). Rav Eliezer Papo (1785-1828), in his work Hesed La'alafim, discusses the importance of the morning blessings and why is it especially important to recite them with proper Kavana (concentration). He implores us to pause before we begin reciting these Berachot, and to contemplate the fact that Hashem, who is infinitely great and powerful, has chosen us lowly human beings, and has given us the permission to come before Him, to give Him praise, and to serve Him. We must never take for granted the extraordinary privilege we have to serve Him. Out of the billions of people in the world, Hashem chose us and invited us to be His servants. We must appreciate how blessed we are to have the ability to serve the Creator of the universe. Before we begin reciting the morning Berachot, Rav Papo writes, it is worth taking a moment to reflect on this privilege we have been given. He also writes that before we begin reciting the Berachot, we should resolve in our minds that we will recite them slowly, and enunciate each letter properly, as though we were speaking to a king. We should recite the words with both fear and love, patiently and thoughtfully. This is especially important when reciting the Birkot Ha'shahar, Rav Papo writes, because this recitation sets the tone for the rest of the day. If we recite the first Berachot of the day with feeling and concentration, then this will impact all the other Berachot and prayers that we recite throughout the rest of the day. It is important to "get on the Kavana train" right from the outset, to set the momentum for the day. Rav Papo here urges us to use a Siddur when reciting the daily Berachot, even if we already know them by heart. One of the most effective strategies for Kavana is to pray from a Siddur. Some find an allusion to this concept in the verse in Megilat Ester (9:28), "Amar Im Ha'sefer Yashub Mahashabto Ha'ra'a," which may be read to mean that the way to eliminate distracting thoughts ("Yashub Mahashabto Ha'ra'a") is to read "Im Ha'sefer" – with the book, meaning, from a Siddur. When we look at the words as we recite them, we are far less likely to be distracted, and have a better chance of praying with Kavana. Rav Papo also recommends writing for oneself a note with the concepts discussed in this passage – the gratitude we must feel for the privilege of serving Hashem, the importance of setting the momentum for the entire day etc. – and placing this note inside one's Siddur. This way, as soon as a person picks up his Siddur to begin reciting the Berachot, he will be reminded of these concepts, and this will enhance his Kavana. Not infrequently, we find ourselves wondering whether or not we forgot to recite Birkot Ha'shahar. Never are we uncertain whether or not we ate breakfast, but we sometimes cannot remember whether or not we recited the morning blessings. This shows us that, unfortunately, we do not value these Berachot to the extent that we should. Let us try to be mindful of the great importance of these daily Berachot, and to concentrate as best we can each time we recite them.
