Podcasts about directionality

This podcast explores the role that print awareness plays in learning to read. It sorts out the skills that matter from those that do not and explains how the essential ones can be best taught.

In this episode of the Inherent Identity Podcast, host Tyson engages in an enlightening conversation with Summer Gross, an author and reverend dedicated to helping people develop a deeper and more genuine connection with God. They discuss the concept of 'interactive gratitude,' the importance of experiencing trust as an embodied concept rather than mere information, and how to approach pain and lamentation in God's presence. Key takeaways include the practice of being fully present to connect with others and God, understanding how God views our gratitude, and recognizing that trust is built through regular, embodied experiences. Summer also shares practical exercises such as 'Emanuel journaling' to aid in overcoming blockages in divine connection, highlighting ways to bring all emotions, particularly anger and shame, into the presence of God for healing and wholeness. 00:00 Introduction to Interactive Gratitude 01:13 Welcome to the Inherent Identity Podcast 01:23 Meet Summer Joy Gross 01:59 Experiencing God's Compassion and Presence 03:18 The Power of Being Fully Present 07:27 Practices for Grounding and Stillness 09:10 Emanuel Journaling: A Path to Healing 19:52 Understanding Attachment and Trust 27:00 Bringing Emotions into God's Presence 30:45 Directionality in Spiritual Practices 32:24 Naming the Cost of Pain 34:42 Connecting with God Through Community 36:20 Support Groups and Spiritual Direction 37:30 The Presence Project and Other Resources 40:19 Reflecting on God's Presence 48:28 Building Trust and Overcoming Anger 51:08 Final Thoughts and Resources Connect with Summer: Website: https://www.athirstforgod.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc5v6JTZin8D3S_F10rAd7Q Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/revsummerjoy/ The Presence Project: https://www.patreon.com/thepresenceproject Connect with Tyson: Website: https://www.inherentidentity.com/ The Receive Experience: https://inherentidentity.com/receive-experience

In this episode, I delve into a fascinating insight gained from a recent bridal session. The bride I worked with was exceptional, planning a grand, elaborate European wedding filled with intricate details and a desire to leave guests completely awestruck. She invested immense time, effort, and personal identity into bringing her dream wedding to life. However, as the big day approached, she grappled with the realization that guests might not view the event with the same significance and intensity as she did, leading to feelings of self-doubt and concern about the overall impact of the wedding. We discuss the transformative power of embracing one's creations, relishing in the beauty of the moment, and radiating delight from within.

Starring Role: Perrysburg High School Grad., Geoffrey Mintz, was here to talk to us about his path to theatre tech at CCM, and the cool jobs he's already experience in just a couple of years. Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/214M4OKBbWcDivndnc2MTu Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stage-door-a-theatre-podcast-hosted-by-two-regular-guys/id1573865415 A theatrical production's sound design defines its overall atmosphere and its effectiveness at telling a story. It's a critical component of the narrative and influences the audience's perception of the play. Therefore, it's essential to create sound effects and musical scores that communicate the story without overwhelming it or making it seem understated. The equipment used in this process, like speakers and microphones, are equally important as the sounds themselves. So, what is theatre sound design, and how does it guide every aspect of a play? Keep reading to find out more about this art form. Theatre sound design includes everything the audience hears, such as sound effects, music, props that generate noise and similar components. Effective and clear sound design is essential to creating an enjoyable listening experience for the theatre audience. Sound designers manage tasks like obtaining recorded or live sound effects, collaborating with the director on which sounds to use throughout the script and setting up the playback equipment within the venue. The job duties vary for each sound designer and play, but they do a common array of things. These often involve making or remixing music and designing a sound system that works for each production. No two plays are exactly the same, and neither are the venues. Likewise, Illuminated Integration understands the need for unique sound design and specializes in creating original setups for sound solutions and audio remedies, including theatre environments. Directionality is one of many significant components in sound design. The sound should originate from the same direction as the performers to provide a cohesive viewing and listening experience. This can be achieved using directional loudspeakers, which focus the sound to a specific area rather than spreading it across an expanse. Other essential elements of sound design include ambiance, voice-overs and Foley sounds. What Does a Sound Engineer Do? Sound engineers are audio professionals whose work is vital to the creation of movies, video games, concerts and albums. These skilled individuals choose or create music, dialogue and sound effects to deliver an impactful final product. If you're interested in a career in sound engineering, learning what this job entails can help you decide whether it's the right path for you.In this article, we define the role of a sound engineer, explain what sound engineers do, list important skills for these professionals, provide the average salary and job outlook for this career and share some tips for pursuing a sound engineering role.

First Sunday after Christmas The Collect: Almighty God, you have poured upon us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. Old Testament: Isaiah 61:10-62:3 10I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. 1For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. 2The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. 3You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. Psalm: 147 or 147:13-21 [1 Hallelujah!        How good it is to sing praises to our God! *        how pleasant it is to honor him with praise! 2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; *        he gathers the exiles of Israel. 3 He heals the brokenhearted *        and binds up their wounds. 4 He counts the number of the stars *        and calls them all by their names. 5 Great is our Lord and mighty in power; *        there is no limit to his wisdom. 6 The Lord lifts up the lowly, *        but casts the wicked to the ground. 7 Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; *        make music to our God upon the harp. 8 He covers the heavens with clouds *        and prepares rain for the earth; 9 He makes grass to grow upon the mountains *        and green plants to serve mankind. 10 He provides food for flocks and herds *        and for the young ravens when they cry. 11 He is not impressed by the might of a horse; *        he has no pleasure in the strength of a man; 12 But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him, *        in those who await his gracious favor.] 13 Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem; *        praise your God, O Zion; 14 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *        he has blessed your children within you. 15 He has established peace on your borders; *        he satisfies you with the finest wheat. 16 He sends out his command to the earth, *        and his word runs very swiftly. 17 He gives snow like wool; *        he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. 18 He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *        who can stand against his cold? 19 He sends forth his word and melts them; *        he blows with his wind, and the waters flow. 20 He declares his word to Jacob, *        his statutes and his judgments to Israel. 21 He has not done so to any other nation; *        to them he has not revealed his judgments.        Hallelujah! Epistle: Galatians 3:23-25;4:4-7 23Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. 24Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. 25But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 4But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children. 6And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!”7So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then also an heir, through God. Gospel: John 1:1-18 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being 4in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.6There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. 8He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. 9The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. 11He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. 12But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, 13who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. 14And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. 15(John testified to him and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.'”)16From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 17The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known.

Abstract: The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) is the locus of a brain clock that sets the phase of oscillation in cells throughout the brain and body. Anatomical evidence reveals a portal system linking the SCN and the OVLT (here termed SCN-OVLTp). This discovery begs the question of the direction of blood flow and the nature of diffusible signals that flow in this specialized vasculature. Here we show unequivocally that the direction of blood flow is from the SCN to the OVLT, that the rate of flow is under circadian regulation, and that vasopressin (AVP) is present in portal vessels following systemic injection. These findings highlight a previously unknown CNS communication pathway. It is well established that the SCN is required for circadian regulation of AVP in the CSF and that the OVLT bears AVP receptors. Specifically, SCN neurons are necessary for time- stamped signals such as the peptide AVP, that can travel via portal veins to a target in the OVLT. The OVLT, a circumventricular organ offering a window to the brain, can relay neural and diffusible signals to broad brain areas via its efferent connections and via the CSF. We conclude that the SCN-OVLTp, like that of the pituitary portalsystem, discovered almost a century ago, allows neurosecretions to reach nearby specialized target sites, thereby avoiding dilution in the systemic blood. In both of these brain portal pathways, the target site, namely the pituitary and OVLT respectively, relay signals broadly, to both the brain and the rest of the body.

In this episode, Ben Okopnik, an experienced trader, talks with Agnieszka about the importance of balancing emotions and rational thinking in trading. Ben emphasizes the need for a clear evaluation of risk and potential outcomes before making a trade. He also stresses the importance of learning to think rationally and developing a trading plan with clear risk parameters to avoid emotional decision-making. The conversation also touches on the difficulty of finding the right path to learning trading, given the noise and nonsense in the market. Ben recommends finding trustworthy professionals to learn from and emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience in addition to academic knowledge. The conversation highlights the importance of education, discipline, and a focus on the process in trading.About Ben OkopnikBen has managed to pack several lifetimes into one so far, with a broad range of experiences.

One of them, he just told me he was also a Hollywood star.[00:00:36] - Ben[chuckles] I don't know if I'd call it that.[00:00:38] - AgnieszkaVery nice having you here. Welcome![00:00:41] - BenIt's a pleasure to be here, Agnieszka. Thank you.[00:00:43] - AgnieszkaBen has been trading for about a decade, and his trading experience has been mostly in options, surfing the line between quant and discretionary but includes futures, forex, crypto, DeFi, and passive investments. And recently, he has been concentrating almost exclusively on learning directional stock trading via the Strat. I met Ben on Twitter recently, actually, where we had a very interesting exchange about what you should focus on first when you get into trading in order to be successful, getting your skin in the game, or the psychology of trading. And since our belief seems to differ on this topic, I ask Ben to join us today to have this conversation here on my podcast and hopefully shine some light on this intriguing and quite controversial topic. Welcome to episode number six, A Chicken and Egg. Hi, Ben. Again, welcome to my podcast, and thank you for being open to discussing your beliefs in this open forum.[00:01:42] - BenMy pleasure, Agnieszka. I think that putting it as the chicken and the egg, this very much parallels what we're discussing because I don't think either one of us is saying, no, no, only this piece is necessary. Both are necessary. Of course, the question is, where should most of the focus be? And that's a great discussion in itself. So looking forward to it.[00:02:06] - AgnieszkaThat's awesome. Ben, when we had our initial conversation, what became very clear to me at first was your rational approach. Considering that trading, as you said, is an intensely human activity, one that engages our strongest emotions, we have to learn to approach it rationally, almost mechanically. For me, as a mindset coach, there is so much to unpack here. But let's begin with this. Could you elaborate a little bit more on what you mean by the mechanical approach to trading and how that can help traders with controlling their emotions during trading sessions?[00:02:47] - BenOkay, so as I'm sure you know, a lot of clinical psychology, right? As a coach, I'm sure you know about this, right? Comes down to correcting irrational thinking, right? If somebody says, oh, everybody always hates me, generalization, right? Everybody. There we go. There we go. So you have to learn to think rationally, because if your perception is not correct, then the outcome of your thoughts and actions is very unlikely to be anything other than random.[00:03:20] - AgnieszkaRight.[00:03:21] - BenTo me, that is the basis, because if you go in and trade, trading particularly focuses that any mistakes of rationality, any mistakes in perception, you're going to pay for those directly.[00:03:34] - AgnieszkaVery directly.[00:03:35] - BenYeah. There is no softening layer, there's no buffer between you and the money.[00:03:41] - AgnieszkaRight.[00:03:41] - BenIf you make a mistake, you're going to pay for it 100% of the time. So to me, that is the classic foundation of everything else. On top of that, and to me, the layer that has to come next is you could theoretically say that it's a psychological layer, but also a half and half, I would say, perception of risk. You have to have a rational evaluation of risk. Right.[00:04:07] - AgnieszkaAnd I think that's a lot where it goes wrong.[00:04:09] - BenRight, absolutely. Now, in order to do that, you have to have a clear evaluation of what your perception of risk is. How do you establish that? By actually trading. By actually going in and trading. Throwing yourself into an environment where you are at risk. Otherwise, you can think about it ahead of time all you want, but until you've done it.[00:04:34] - AgnieszkaYeah. So you have to feel it. You mean you have to feel the risk in order to establish your perception of risk. I mean, you can feel how it feels, but you think there is no way to protect yourself upfront before you throw yourself to the fire.[00:04:52] - BenOf course, you definitely must risk limiting your trades. There's no way out of that. You don't just go in, throw your money in and go, well, I'll just sit here and see what happens. No, put in your stop, put in your limit, and sit there and watch what happens as the price moves between the two of them, whichever one of them it hits, whether you win, whether you lose, preferably and this is interesting, you should lose preferably first off. You know what I'm talking about.[00:05:20] - AgnieszkaYes, absolutely. Especially that very first trade. Everyone says lucky trade. I always say this is the unlucky trade because you win that first trade with completely bad expectations.[00:05:34] - BenWorse.[00:05:35] - AgnieszkaYes.[00:05:35] - BenThe worst thing, the worst thing that could possibly happen to you is you win your first trade, then you're so excited and your estimation of risk becomes incorrect. It's the one thing you can't afford.[00:05:48] - AgnieszkaRight. I think the dilemma of many traders is because you say you have to put your parameters, you have to put the risk. And that's where I see a lot of times going exactly wrong, because they don't, and I didn't, and nobody does. I mean, most of the traders who are getting into trading, I mean, they open an account and they just put a trade. They don't even think there isn't, you know, that they can lose. They only think about they can make money.[00:06:20] - BenYou may be right. And this, to me, again, comes down to rational estimation of what's, you know, what's true. You have to look at it rationally. When you put your money into a trade, the chances of you losing versus winning are exactly the same as we put it. In the options world where we do a lot of calculations, the expected value of any trade at entry is zero.[00:06:49] - AgnieszkaRight.[00:06:50] - BenThat is, if you do 100,000 trades, if you go strictly by chances with nothing else influencing it, if you don't have any definite alpha, as we call it, 50,000 of those trades are going to go to the good, 50,000 of them are going to go to the bad. The outcome is zero.[00:07:11] - AgnieszkaYes. And in general, rationally speaking, you should note it before placing a trade.[00:07:18] - BenAbsolutely.[00:07:19] - AgnieszkaBut somehow there is this difference between when you go, let's say to a casino and when you're trading. Because when you go to a casino, I always say the difference is when you want to play the slot machine, you first have to put the money in. Right. So you kind of accept the risk and you're actually assuming, well, I might lose it. And that's where you rationally accept the risk with trading because you don't have to pay upfront, you have to pay after. Deep inside. A lot of traders do not accept that risk.[00:07:55] - BenYou may be right to some degree. To me, as soon as you click that button, whether you buy or whether you sell, you always have some definite. Every single trading platform I know of shows you risk versus reward. And so the moment you click that button, you are at risk. You know that you have an open risk. You may be right in that it is not as clear how should I say this does not have the same exact emotional impact as actually taking money out of your pocket and shoving it into a machine.[00:08:35] - AgnieszkaExactly.[00:08:35] - BenSo you're right to that degree. People don't see those numbers on the screen as being quite as meaningful as taking actual cash out of their pockets and plunking it down. So I would agree with you there.[00:08:47] - AgnieszkaThat's why a lot of times they say, oh, I have a loss, but I haven't taken it. A lot of traders believe that not taking a loss is not hurting them. And I tell you, I have learned the hard way and I have waited years for the price to come back on my very first trade. And I can tell you at some point it was a souvenir I was like I have this at that point, after all those splits, I think it was like I had three shares left for the price. The price of that stock was just incredibly high, while this whole stock just never really came back. And I thought this is such a good warning that the price does not have to come back. No, that was the untaken loss. So when I hear people saying that, I'm like, oh, well, you might learn the hard way. I know I did.[00:09:41] - BenAgain, from the calculated perspective, I'm coming from the perspective of options. There's a kind of a saying that every options trader basically memorizes from the beginning, and that is volatility is mean, reverting price is not. There is no means by which the price has to come back. In fact, it almost never does. If you look at the general trend of prices in, let's say, SPX, it's an upward trend. It never reverts. Okay.[00:10:12] - AgnieszkaYes. From a rational point of view, if you put those facts on paper, you will agree with them. The moment that traders get into trades, even if they know that they make decisions completely irrationally right, based on emotions.[00:10:30] - BenAnd this is exactly why I say that you have to actually do some trading. Because then you can sit back, look at your actions, and say, wait, why did I do this? The rational thing to do was X, Y, and Z. But I did A, B, and C. Why in the world did I do this? And now you have perceptions that are much more aligned, or that you can drive back toward rationality because you see yourself acting emotionally beforehand. You could say to yourself, oh, I'm going to be cool, calm, and collected. I'm always going to do the right thing. If the price goes against me, I'll just exit. No, you won't.[00:11:09] - AgnieszkaRight?[00:11:10] - BenNo, you will not. Stop lying.[00:11:13] - AgnieszkaThat's the two emotions that are completely switching the moment that you enter a trade, fear, and hope, right? They completely go upside down.[00:11:22] - BenExactly, right? I absolutely agreed.[00:11:27] - AgnieszkaYeah. So let's say for people who are already in trading, right, and they have made so many irrational decisions, and now they're like, okay, I do want to think rationally, but I'm still struggling because those emotions are just simply taking over. How do you do that? Because you have a very rational approach. What are the best ways to control your emotions during trading? Do you have any emotions because you're thinking rationally, right? Of course. How do you deal with it?[00:11:55] - BenSo there are two things when you're already trading and again, you look over your past trades and you say, you know, I'm acting emotionally and I can't stop myself. If you're a self-starter like myself, then you look for ways to correct the impact of those emotions, to set them aside. If you're not, and many people aren't, and there's nothing positive or negative about this, then the best thing to do is to look for a coach like yourself who has actually thought about this and who can help you. Redirect your whether redirect your emotions into a more rational channel or find a mechanical approach to your strategy where your emotions simply can't get involved. No matter what you think, no matter how you feel, as an example, again, let's say that you decide that you're going to always trade with a stop and a limit, but as soon as you get into it, oh, my God, the price is moving in the wrong direction. Well, if I move the stop away a little bit, you understand exactly what I'm talking about, right? Of course, yeah. And people will do that. And then the limit oh, well, maybe the price yes, price is going in my direction, but if I move the limit down, I can at least take some profit.[00:13:11] - BenRight. Wrong thought patterns. Right. What do you do about those? Well, you have to correct those misperceptions. You have to have a hard set of rules. Like, I'm going to do my best to compute what is a reasonable stop and what is a proper limit for this trade. I'm going to set those and I'm going to walk away from the computer. If need be, I'm going to switch it off.[00:13:36] - AgnieszkaRight, right.[00:13:36] - BenIf that's what it takes for you, then do that.[00:13:39] - AgnieszkaYes.[00:13:40] - BenRight.[00:13:40] - AgnieszkaI totally agree with you. It's funny because you're talking about those perspectives, I call it, in my coaching mindset, shifts, because you have to shift your perspective and start thinking about what works in the environment of the market, which is very different than how we normally think, how we do things, how we achieve success in our daily life. They're so different. And I think the biggest problem is that we just take our perspectives of what we know and we just bring it to the market and we think.[00:14:16] - BenThis is going to work. I'm going to take that and run with it. Actually, one of the emotions and the perspectives that we bring in from daily life into the market are not just a little wrong, they're literally 180 degrees away.[00:14:30] - AgnieszkaCorrect.[00:14:31] - BenI'm not going to say the market is designed because I don't believe that there's anyone sitting there pulling strings, but the market is perfectly configured, and perfectly structured to take money away from you. If you think as a let's call it a civilian, absolutely. 100%. Look, the price is trending this way, therefore I should get into it. Oh, the price is trending down, therefore I should shirt the stock. Too late. Yes, you are too late. And if you get in at those times, someone will take your money. Guaranteed. Yeah, guaranteed.[00:15:08] - AgnieszkaIt's almost like advertising is playing on our emotions and they know exactly how we react.[00:15:12] - BenRight, yes.[00:15:13] - AgnieszkaThe same way the market is constructed, because it's a business model and I think everyone has to understand it. Just like in a casino, the house always wins. So it is not like you have to trick the market. No, you have to trick yourself into not thinking that whoever you think you are, you're nobody there. Right. And you're really lucky if you will be able to pull money out of the market, out of that huge machine that is designed for you to fail, basically.[00:15:47] - BenRight, yeah. Again, if you come in with those emotions of a civilian. Yes, it is. Absolutely. A model that will make you fail. It will take your money, as I call it. All you will do is provide liquidity to professionals. Yeah.[00:16:06] - AgnieszkaIt's funny. I love to call it. You have to take yourself out of the equation. You are in your own way, because when you're talking about designing a process that will help you to do those things mechanically so basically for you, I don't know, sometimes it might mean placing bracket orders. Right. And just walking away. Because the moment you sit there and you're watching and you see all these price movements, your mind is simply going to play with you. It is. I mean, there is no other way. And yes, I always say, like, yes, you can make it very difficult for yourself and sit there and watch it and say, no, but I want to be disciplined. I have to be. I'm like, if this is really so difficult for you, why would you do that? Trading is difficult enough. Design the process that will make it easier if you lose money after eleven, and stop trading after eleven.[00:17:02] - BenRight, yeah. To me, that's actually I like to take a kind of an outside perspective of myself whenever I see myself getting emote. And this isn't just about trading. This is something I've learned from sources as disparate as Zambudism and yoga and so on. There is a concept of the watcher which is you understand what I'm talking about, sort of an abstraction of yourself that sits in your head. Does not judge the awareness. Right, yeah. Does not judge, but just sits there. And it was absolutely fascinating to me when I started trading to have that, to look down onto myself and go, look at the emotions you're experiencing, all you're doing, you just bought one share. The most I can lose is maybe a dollar. But look at you. Look at your heartbeat. Look at your breathing. This is amazing that this is happening to you. How is this? As you've mentioned, I'm a sailor. I've sailed the ocean. I've been in hurricanes as a soldier. I've been in scenarios where I've been shot at. I've been in some really amazing stuff in my life. And the emotions brought forth by trading, by risking nothing more than a dollar, were so outrageous, were so huge that I just had to sit there, look at it, and go, what in the world is happening to you?[00:18:36] - BenIt's fascinating.[00:18:38] - AgnieszkaFascinating. And why do you think that is? Is it the scenarios we make in our heads that we are scared of? Which absolutely, I think what is it? 90% of which does never happen.[00:18:49] - BenOf course, there are the scenarios, there are the average person's concepts of what money is and what it means. Right. Money affects us at the deepest level. Normally, we don't think about it. Money comes in, we spend it, big deal. But as a trader, you are again faced with direct gains and losses with nothing between you and the market. And I think those things hit you directly in emotions, in ways that most people can't even predict. They don't know what it is.[00:19:22] - AgnieszkaYeah. I think that part of it is that a lot of people value themselves through money, right? Through their success, what they have, and what they can present to others. So the moment that you are losing money or that you are not having success, you take several losses after each other, even though it can be the most rational thing right? Because it's probability. So yeah, it's very probable you're going to be experiencing it still. It hits so much so deep that the whole confidence and everything about you, you start just doubting yourself as a person, which I find the trading experience is just so much more than just trading. Just because of that.[00:20:08] - BenI agree.[00:20:09] - AgnieszkaAdditional emotional side. Right.[00:20:10] - BenI agree. I lost a dollar. I must be worthless as a human being. What in the world? So this is one of the things that makes trading fascinating to me now. One of the things that and again, of course, I have had to learn enough relevant psychology, trading psychology, in order to trade well, you basically have no choice once you have learned, once you've established something that will produce alpha for you, something that does have a positive return overall. Now the only thing you can work on is improving your execution, obviously, but really mainly yourself. Right?[00:20:52] - AgnieszkaYeah.[00:20:52] - BenAnd so one of my favorite things that I ever saw was Mark Douglas. Of course, I'm sure you've heard of Mark Douglas, right? Mark Douglas wrote this wonderful book, Trading in the Zone, and he said something in there that to me is absolutely key. He said, once you have defined how you're going to trade, and what your trading strategy is, do 20 trades. It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, you do not pay attention to that. You are committed to doing 20 trades, win or lose.[00:21:24] - AgnieszkaYes.[00:21:25] - BenAt the end of those 20 trades. Now sit back and evaluate. Do you need to change your strategy or do you keep going forward? And I love that concept. That's another version of what we've been talking about.[00:21:36] - AgnieszkaYeah. And that's a very rational approach. Right. And if you manage to stay within that rational area while you're evaluating it, you're actually learning from it and moving forward. Right. A lot of traders that I talk to that come to me with a problem, they don't even journal or they don't even evaluate because they're so fed up with the losses that they go like, I don't even want to look at this. So that brings me actually to our second topic. So most traders that come to me for help, struggle with accepting the risk we talked about a little bit already. And technically, yes, they can place the stop, but because of various emotional reasons, they don't accept it. So they don't place the stop. Right. And they will keep lowering it or simply remove it. Now, in one of your tweets, you mentioned that there is nothing anyone can do for them. I'm sure the audience does not want to hear that, but basically, they need basic education. Right. This has nothing to do with mindset. You also mentioned that some people aren't suited for trading, just like some aren't suited for truck driving.[00:22:57] - BenRight.[00:22:57] - AgnieszkaI, on the other hand, believe that you can do anything if you put your mind to it. And throughout my life, I kept proving it to myself every time again. So while you're saying focusing on the mindset before experience in dealing with problems that needed doesn't make sense to you? In my mind, if you deal with your mindset first, you can prevent the problems so that you don't have to deal with them, or at least you can be prepared for how to handle them. Right. So I would love to understand where you're coming from. Would you like to elaborate on your point of view?[00:23:41] - BenSure. A lot of people come to trade. The thing that drives them into trading is purely emotional. I don't think there's ever someone unless you go to school and you get a degree in finance and you go to work for Susquehanna or whoever, one of these big trading houses or market makers.[00:24:05] - AgnieszkaRight.[00:24:05] - BenThat's a rational path. And that's something that takes years and years of tremendous effort.[00:24:11] - AgnieszkaJust like a career. Right. You learn it like you would want to be a doctor. Pretty much.[00:24:16] - BenThat's exactly what it is. Yeah. And by that point, you're not really dealing with emotions or any of that stuff that you have worked through so much. It is such a rational, structured discipline. Frankly, professionals can't afford to have this emotional, irrational approach. That's just not going to happen. Let's set that aside because that's a completely different area. So let's talk about retail traders. Retail traders are, I would say, always driven by emotion to start trading.[00:24:53] - AgnieszkaYeah.[00:24:54] - BenOh, I heard of this guy that made, you know, $10 million in GME in three days from starting from $100. I want that too.[00:25:04] - AgnieszkaGME. Oh my God. They just had earnings last night. This morning, I texted my or I put in a chat room to my students, like, are there any GameStop wannabes oh, dear? You guys keep focus. Just make sure you're not biased because you can really get biased by it. Right.[00:25:31] - BenI've actually made very good money in GME, but certainly not by buying or selling stock, by shorting Volatility, basically by saying around earnings, around events like that, people are going to get crazy about price, they're going to overpay. And so I'm willing to take the other side of the trade. This is where options come in handy. And so shorting volatility in something like GME, around events that's proven quite profitable.[00:25:58] - AgnieszkaYeah. But you see, you trade the market. You don't trade the stock, the price. I want to make money. You know what I mean? It's very different. It's the distance that you take the distance approach and say, okay, what is the real opportunity here?[00:26:16] - BenExactly.[00:26:16] - AgnieszkaInstead of getting sucked into that swirl sorry, you were talking.[00:26:22] - BenYeah, no, it's fine. I'm sorry. I also get diverted. To me, this trading is absolutely fascinating. All aspects of it, including the psychology of it. As I said, most traders begin trading from an emotional perspective.[00:26:36] - AgnieszkaRight.[00:26:37] - BenAnd as long as they stay with that purely emotional perspective, they're never going to make it. All they're going to do is contribute liquidity to the market, put money in professionals' pockets, and that's the end of that. I think that, again, for those people, if they are stuck, the only next step they can take is either go to someone like yourself or learn about how the psychology of trading works and change it themselves. But again, most people are not well suited to that.[00:27:08.360] - AgnieszkaYeah. It takes a lot of work, and it takes a different perspective. So if you cannot stand outside of yourself, like you were saying, and I call it leader position.[00:27:19] - BenI like it.[00:27:20] - AgnieszkaYes. During my program, I review sessions, and trading sessions of my students, so I also pay very much attention to their body language because I can tell whether you are in a leadership position or if you are in an operator mode. Right. And most traders begin in the operator mode with 90% time spent on clicking the buttons.[00:27:47] - BenThey're hunched over all the classic signals.[00:27:53] - AgnieszkaYour hand over that mouse.[00:27:57] - BenYeah. Warren Buffett actually has this thing that he tells people once in a while, and I think it's a wonderful idea. He said if you had a card with ten spots on it where you could only every time you took a trade for the rest of your life, you had to punch one of those things out. If you could only take ten trades for the rest of your life, how careful would you be entering those trades?[00:28:21] - AgnieszkaYeah, I think waiting for the opportunity is the most difficult thing for people to do because that means pretty much doing nothing or distracting yourself from trading. But if you're so you're saying basically, when people are focused on the emotions, I call it to focus on the money.[00:28:47] - BenYeah. You can't afford to do that.[00:28:50] - AgnieszkaYeah. Switching the focus to the process, that's just such a significant change of perspective or mindset shift, and then just work out what your process is and what you were saying. Like, if you do those 20 trades right, and they don't work, or they work now, you can work on the process. What do most traders do? They ask themselves, what's wrong with me?[00:29:19] - BenYes. What did I do wrong?[00:29:22] - AgnieszkaSo tell me about your journey, about your trading journey. How do you tackle the challenges? Because since you were in the military, there's a lot of former military people who are trading, and they're doing great because of the discipline. Right. Do you see it, how it contributed to your trading?[00:29:43] - BenYes, I do. It's somewhat indirect. My military experience is quite a while back. It's interesting. I was actually at a veteran's meet-up this morning, which happens every two weeks, just so happens. But yes, mission orientation, working out the structure of the mission and executing it, you not only learn those things, you sort of inculcate them into your life process in the military is just something that you learn to do. And yeah, that definitely does relate to trading.[00:30:20] - AgnieszkaSo how do you deal with distractions that take your focus away from that mission?[00:30:28] - BenYou don't let them distract you.[00:30:31] - AgnieszkaYou just reject the thoughts.[00:30:33] - BenNo, there's a thing called mission focus. All right? This is the primary thing. You got to keep your eye on the ball. If something happens that is distracting, you have to give it some weight because some distractions are actually threatening to the mission or whatever it happens to be. And that's the only evaluation that you do. Is it a threat to the mission? If so, how much of the mission effort do I have to devote to it? If so but other than that, no. You judge it again from a rational perspective, even though the impact is emotional.[00:31:09] - AgnieszkaI see. That is so interesting. So basically what you do is you evaluate it, but looking at your mission has this impact on my mission. So you basically just look at it pretty much like when you have a trading strategy, right? And you have all these opportunities coming at you, all you have to do is evaluate, if this fits into my strategy. Is this fitting into my strategy? Is this what I want? Is this what I said I want?[00:31:43] - BenYeah. And you have to learn, as a great coping skill in trading, you have to learn to stop making deals with yourself.[00:31:54] - AgnieszkaNo negotiations.[00:31:56] - BenNo negotiation. But this is really close. Okay, maybe I haven't seen the exact trade that I want, but, you know, this is really close, and maybe I should risk a little. No, don't do that. Do not do that.[00:32:11] - AgnieszkaYeah, I have a few extra punch cards.[00:32:18] - BenThat's a bad idea.[00:32:19] - AgnieszkaYeah, definitely a bad idea. If you have to convince yourself, I always say, well, if you don't see a setup, if it doesn't jump out at you, it's probably not there. If you really try to see and you have to turn your computer upside down to convince yourself this is actually a flag. It's probably not a flag. Oh, that's fascinating. In one of your messages, you mentioned that you are still going for basic competence in trading. Right. And that's what I'm talking about. Sounds good. The things that I. Am talking about sound like a good next-level things and stuff to aspire to once you get those basics ironed out. And in this case, I was talking about being present a the moment. Now I understand that you are also actually talking about being that observer. So we are actually talking about the same thing which I consider a basic competence for every trader to be present in the moment. Simply because if your mind wanders into the past and brings pain from previous losses, right, or it runs into the future and triggers this high expectation of yourself, all the money you're going to make or fears all the money you're going to lose, this will impact your decision-making process.[00:33:42] - AgnieszkaRight? So then you basically let the emotions decide about your trade. So this brings us to the question of what comes first, a chicken or an egg?[00:33:53] - BenI was just thinking that that's a very exact parallel to the whole chicken or the egg. And so again, to me, you have to at least experience how trading impacts you. And going from there forward, how much of the emotional basis can you shift to the rational? How much do you need help with? How much can you do by yourself? So possibly again, chicken versus egg. Maybe both. Maybe both coming up at the same time via ramping process. You can do so much of one, then a little more of the other, then a little more of one, then a little more of the other. And so perhaps it's that sort of ramp-up process.[00:34:42] - AgnieszkaYeah. And actually when you were talking about it, what I notice is, or what I notice how we are being impacted, our decisions are because of our experiences from the past, right? And a lot of times people would say, yeah, but I am just like this because of all the things that happened to me. And in fact, those are all irrational thoughts because you're taking something that happened maybe 20 years ago and now you're bringing it into your trading that those thoughts have nothing to do or even those experiences have nothing to do with your trading. Right. So that is a pretty irrational thing to do, right? Even though people are trying to make it rational because they say, yeah, but this is the way I am.[00:35:29] - BenNo, the reality is the market does not care about your story.[00:35:33] - AgnieszkaThat's a good point.[00:35:34] - BenIt absolutely does not care. Either you did the right thing or you're going to lose.[00:35:42] - AgnieszkaSo it's really about doing the right thing.[00:35:46] - BenOne of my favorites, I don't know if you've ever heard of Nassim Nicholas Taleb.[00:35:52] - AgnieszkaI have not.[00:35:53] - BenSo he's the guy who came up with the Black Swan theory.[00:35:56] - AgnieszkaOh yeah. I have actually read the book, so I'm not so good at names. So maybe was this the Outer then? I have heard of him, yeah.[00:36:05] - BenTaleb. Absolutely. Fascinating guy. Good thinker. Really good thinker. And many years ago, he wrote a white paper with a guy named Espin Hogg about how market makers evaluate risk in options. And there's a wonderful quote from it that I just love. He said Trading is neither philosophy nor mathematics. It is a rich craft with traders learning from traders or copying other traders, and tricks developed under evolutionary pressures. In a bottom-up matter, it is techne, not episteme, meaning that is craft rather than academic knowledge.[00:36:50] - AgnieszkaWow.[00:36:51] - BenAcademic knowledge.[00:36:52] - AgnieszkaThat's amazing.[00:36:53] - BenYou can sit and study as long as you want. It will not help you until you actually experience it. It's like wood carving, for example. You can sit and read about wood carving for the rest of your life, but until you put that knife to the wood right. You will not know what it is to actually carve wood.[00:37:16] - AgnieszkaYes. So that's about the experience and then the risk that goes with the experience, you can also read about it, and you should read about it, and you should learn about it so that you know what to expect. But if you do not trade, you will never experience it. So you will actually never know what your reaction will be.[00:37:37] - BenAnd that is exactly my point. Yes.[00:37:39] - AgnieszkaSo, yeah, the circle around the mindset is important, and the experience is important.[00:37:47] - BenI agree.[00:37:48] - AgnieszkaThat's wonderful.[00:37:49] - BenNow, okay, so here's something else. Have you ever heard of "Turtle Traders"?[00:37:55] - AgnieszkaNo.[00:37:56] - BenSo this is fascinating. There's a book, I believe it was called "The Turtle Trading Method" or something (Official Title: Way of the Turtle: The Secret Methods that Turned Ordinary People into Legendary Traders). But this was an experiment that came from a bet between two very successful Chicago futures traders, William Eckhart, and Richard Dennis. Okay. And Eckhart believed that you had to be born with the right emotional makeup and could not trade successfully without it.[00:38:21] - AgnieszkaOh, wow.[00:38:22] - BenYeah. Dennis, on the other hand, believed the opposite, that he could grow traders like they grow turtles in Singapore, was his exact statement. He had just been to Singapore, and he saw how they grow turtles in these ponds, and he said, we can do this. And so Dennis put out this ad that I think a lot of people simply didn't believe that they could just go to work for one of the most successful traders in the world, and he would teach them how to trade. Good God. And so he assembled a group of people who had either never traded before or did some trading and perhaps were unsuccessful, didn't really matter much. And he taught them a very simple strategy. And the key was, as long as they stuck to that strategy, they would make money. And as it turned out, Dennis was right. Every "Turtle Trader" who was able to follow his rules became a successful trader. Some went on to make fortunes and create hedge funds on their own.[00:39:24] - AgnieszkaBut when you say were able to follow the rules, how were they able? Because that's where the emotions come in.[00:39:33] - BenRight, right.[00:39:35] - AgnieszkaOr where did they all have this special makeup?[00:39:38] - BenNo. And this was exactly the difference between the two sides of the bet. They did not have to have a special emotional makeup. The rules were clear-cut. They were simply when the market has been and I don't remember exactly what the rules were. Yeah, they're not particularly applicable today, by the way, with computer trading systems and so on. But it was something like if the market dips below a certain percentage for X number of days you enter if it stays above, you exit, whatever it happened to be. But they were purely rational, mechanistic rules. Now comes the point that you're talking about, which is they started following these rules, and now you have to remember they were not using their own money. They were trading specifically for this firm. Right.[00:40:29] - AgnieszkaYes.[00:40:30] - BenIt's different, but still, when you trade money, especially large amounts of money in the market, those emotions are still going to hit you. Right. Now, in the second part of the book, once these folks started trading and were able to execute the rules and so on, now the emotions hit them.[00:40:47] - AgnieszkaOh, that's so interesting, isn't it?[00:40:50] - BenI think you would really enjoy this book.[00:40:53] - AgnieszkaYeah, I should definitely look at that.[00:40:54] - BenHurdle Traders. So a fascinating study of how that worked. And a lot of people actually dropped out of the program for the specifically stated reasons of, I just can't do this. I can see it being successful.[00:41:08] - AgnieszkaSo what was it? Was the money getting into their head?[00:41:10] - BenYes. When you imagine yourself trading $10 million, or $100 million, having that at risk at any one time, some people simply can't handle it.[00:41:21] - AgnieszkaYeah, there's something that I call emotional immunity that I work with my students on to develop emotional immunity, and just exactly for that reason. And that's not just on the profit side, but also on the risk side. To start with, what is the level that you are immune to? And you can always grow that immunity. You can always increase that resistance and teach yourself. It's a sort of muscle memory that touches you less and less, and then once you go too high, you will feel it. Right. I can always go back. The problem is that a lot of traders, they just want to make big steps. Yeah, I want to make a leap, and I want to make a million dollars.[00:42:04] - BenYeah, that's a guaranteed way to lose.[00:42:06] - AgnieszkaYeah. Because you hurt yourself, the wounds are deep, and then it's very hard to heal them. Right. The last thing that I wanted to touch upon with you is what is that learning process. What would you recommend? Like, how to learn to trade? Because learning by doing costs money, time, and money. And is there any way to shorten the curve? Because there's so much help out there. There are courses, chat rooms, and YouTube videos, and it seems like everyone makes money, but it somehow it doesn't seem like the success rate is growing among retail traders. I think it's still over 90% failing. Right. So what would be that perfect process?[00:43:01] - BenSo I agree with you completely. I actually think that given the huge influx of traders into retail traders into the market, I saw a graph probably about a year ago. The number of retail traders has increased more than 1000 fold in the last six or seven years, which is incredible.[00:43:25] - AgnieszkaHence the good earnings from brokerages.[00:43:28] - BenOh, yes. This is why all the brokerages can now give us free stock trading and all of that. Here's what I'm going to say. I think it is incredibly difficult, it is almost impossible to find the right path on your own unless you get lucky. There's so much noise, there's so much nonsense by so many quote gurus who are simply out to squeeze a buck from you, that it's almost impossible to find anything. I was incredibly lucky. Okay, maybe this is worth boasting about a little. Maybe because of my personality, maybe because of how I speak to people. I was lucky enough to connect with some old-time professional traders, some people who are actually retired from CBOE, and several people of that sort who helped me along. Now, again, none of them would simply come out and say, do this, this, and this, and you'll make money. That's not how it works.[00:44:37] - AgnieszkaIsn't it interesting that actually people who you can trust, will never promise you that you will make money or that you will make million or 100,000 a month because they know they cannot promise it? So maybe that's the first warning for everyone.[00:44:51] - BenExactly.[00:44:52] - AgnieszkaIf anyone makes this kind of claim, that's a red flag for sure.[00:44:57] - BenRight, I agree. And this is what is out there. 99.99% of everything that is out there is literally that.[00:45:05] - AgnieszkaI wish when I was learning that there would be someone I could completely trust and that they would take my hand and help me. But still, till this point, I feel that there are not really many people in the market that can do that for you. And because of that, still, the path is people losing accounts many times and losing their confidence and end up in that failing cycle and stuck.[00:45:33] - BenNow, I actually do have a positive recommendation.[00:45:36] - AgnieszkaGood. Oh, thank God.[00:45:39] - BenOne of the incredibly few. And this, I must admit, I was lucky to run across this myself. And it's free.[00:45:46] - AgnieszkaAll right, bring it on.[00:45:48] - BenI will. Now, again, nobody gives away Alpha. Nobody tells you how to just go in and make money and that's it. No, that does not happen. You can just throw that completely out of your head. It simply does not happen. Simply because if someone can actually make money in the market, why would they want to charge you money?[00:46:09] - AgnieszkaRight?[00:46:10] - BenWhy would they need to why do they need to take that counterparty risk and deal with you and charge you and go through setting all that up when they can simply go into the market and make money? Okay? So that's an absolute rationale. Someone who sets out to charge you money to teach you. That should be the biggest red flag there is. And that's, as I said, 99.99% of the market. Okay. I happen to be lucky to connect on a personal level with professionals and learn enough of the right thinking from them to actually build that into myself and start learning how to make money. So it's a very indirect, very difficult approach, certainly not for everyone.[00:46:59] - AgnieszkaGot you.[00:46:59] - BenAnd again, involved quite a bit of luck, that is from the options trading side of the house, if you will. It's difficult on the stock trading side of the house. This is actually something that I ran across in a Futures Forum talking to an old-style trader, a guy named Daniel Bones, a wonderful guy to follow on Twitter. And Dan mentioned this strategy put together by a guy named Rob Smith called The Strat. And after seeing a million gurus advertising this stuff, I was incredibly skeptical, and I sort of kept that at the back of my mind, but I kept running across it on Twitter, and other places, and I thought, I don't really believe in directional trading, as most options traders don't. We trade volatility. Directionality, that's a really questionable thing. How the hell can you possibly predict which way the stock is going to move? But I decided at one point, and with the market being varying in volatility as much as it did, there was a point during last year when I said, you know, I need to back off because very few good trades are coming down the pike, and I don't want to take an extreme risk.[00:48:23] - BenLet me put some time into finding out if this is real in the first place. And Rob Smith, he's also a retired trader. I seem to run across a lot of these people really quickly. Rob has put together the strategy from all of his experience in the market called "The Strat", and it is directional trading. And this is what I'm trying to learn. A lot of it, again, goes against what I always thought that directional trading. Is it really possible? Well, it is. And in my experience, and with the tremendously helpful community around "The Strat", I have been gaining some measure of success around directional trading, which has been amazing to me. Yeah.[00:49:10] - AgnieszkaWow, that's amazing. Thank you for sharing that.[00:49:12] - BenAbsolutely.[00:49:13] - AgnieszkaIf you have any links, we can post them. So if anyone wants to check it out or just probably Google the name and they will find it. Right?[00:49:23] - BenYeah. "The Strat" is at the site called sepiagroup.com. Sepia, as in the collar sepiagroup.com. There's a lot of tremendous amount of free material on YouTube from him and from people who work with him, but also sepiagroup.com check him out.[00:49:47] - AgnieszkaAwesome. Thank you for that recommendation. And that brings us to the end of this episode. Thank you so much, Ben, for joining us and for this candid conversation today.[00:49:59] - BenAgnieszka, it's been a pleasure talking to you. A pleasure to be here.[00:50:03] - AgnieszkaI hope it will help traders who are listening to this to gain some perspective and understand that, first of all, learning trading is a process. And since this is one of the most challenging and demanding jobs out there with a huge amount of risk, it requires more learning and preparation than any other occupation. And to survive, you must know your weak sides and address them as soon as possible, whether it is a strategy, technical knowledge, or the emotional and mindset side of it.

Why Distributed Leadership is the FUTURE Jodah and Dan talk with Tech executive Michael Peachey about the concept of distributed leadership in both the tech and higher education sectors. What exactly is distributed leadership and how does one design their organizations to promote a flattened out structure where everyone has the opportunity to step into leadership roles? And how can theories of distributed leadership be used to strengthen EDI initiatives, remote operations, and employee engagement? Finally, what are the dangers of remote operations in the future and how do we train leaders and design organizations to function in a more distributed organizational environment? ABOUT MICHAEL PEACHEY Michael builds high-performing, low-drama, user experience and product teams with a focus on enterprise and consumer software in organizations from startups working to find their initial product-market fit to multi-billion dollar revenue public companies. I knew Michael when he was leading user experience design at TIBCO software, working with him on a global team of onsite and remote designers that he had built, starting with the first UX hire. Since then, Michael has continued to work at the intersection of product design and development in cybersecurity at Sumo Logic and ZeroWall, and in remote employee collaboration at RingCentral. Michael is a frequent contributor on the future of work and has a keen fascination with leadership at a distance, a topic which has become even more critical in a post-COVID world of hybrid work.

This podcast is focused on what it means to have a Free Mind. How can we free our mind? A free mind is an authentic mind, a mind that is independent, aware, and assertive. When you have a free mind, your emotions and beliefs become authentic and represent you and your true nature. Because of the authenticity of your emotions and beliefs, trusting yourself and what you feel or intuitively know comes naturally, as if your heart and mind are connected and work in perfect harmony with each other. Your mind can never be truly free without being connected to your heart. This is because your heart is the spiritual center of your being and has higher awareness about you and your life than what your mind could ever have. This podcast invites you to become curios about your mind and how it works. More specifically we cover the following topics: - Recognizing how our mind operates- Understanding how our attention affects our Mind  (Life-Denying and Life-Affirming Attention)- Noticing the Mind Virus and the Directionality of Our Attention- Recognizing the Operational Modes of our Mind   (Hive Mind, Disoriented Mind, and Entangled Mind)- And, knowing what it means to have a Free Mind. This podcast is produced by Aion Farvahar, who is a Life and Spirituality Mentor, and a Psychoshamanic and IFS Self-Leadership Practitioner.

Abstract: Alterations in the default mode network (DMN) are known to associated with aging and with neurological and psychiatric diseases. We assessed age-dependent changes in interactions within the DMN and between the DMN with other brain areas, and correlations of these interactions with a battery of neuropsychological tests to formulate a macroscopic model of ageing. Using a novel multivariate analysis method, enabling determination of directed pathways, on resting-state functional MRI data from fifty young and thirty-one old healthy individuals, we identified directed intra- and inter-DMN directed pathways that differed between the groups and used their correlations with neuropsychological tests to infer their behavioral meaning. Pathways connecting the DMN with visual and limbic regions in old subjects engaged at BOLD low frequency and involved the dorsal PCC. In young subjects, they were at high frequency and involved the ventral PCC. Pathways combining the sensorimotor (SM) and the DMN, were efferent in young subjects (DMNSM). Most inter-DMN pathways in the old subjects, correlated with reduced speed and working memory and, were DMN efferent (DMN greater than ). We suggest a macroscopic model of aging centered in the DMN. It suggests that the reduced sensorimotor efferent, probably brought about from reduced physical activity, and the increased need to control such activities by the mPFC, causes a higher dependency on external versus internal cues. This results in a shift from ventral to dorsal PCC of inter-DMN pathways. Consequently, the model combines physical activity with ageing. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Use of Superfluid Helium to Observe Directionality of Galactic Dark Matter by George M. Seidel et al. on Thursday 13 October The quasiparticle propagation away from the track of a highly ionizing particle in superfluid helium at low temperatures has previously been shown to exhibit anisotropy. We discuss the mechanism responsible for this behavior and show that it occurs for nuclear scattering by dark matter for recoil energies down to a few keV, and perhaps lower. This makes it possible to extend WIMP searches with interaction cross sections that reach into the neutrino floor in a meaningful energy range. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2210.06283v1

Bio for Julie Pham Julie Pham, Ph.D., is the Founder of the 7 Forms of Respect and the CEO of CuriosityBased, which fosters curiosity in the world starting with the workplace. Dr. Pham wrote the 7 Forms of Respect: A Guide to Transforming Your Communication and Relationships at Work. Episode highlightListen in on how Dr. Julie Pham's myriad cultural influences make her a successful entrepreneur.LinksEmail: julie@curiositybased.com Websites:www.curiositybased.comwww.formsofrespect.comLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliepham2/https://www.linkedin.com/company/curiositybasedInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/juliephamphdhttps://www.instagram.com/curiositybased/Twitter: https://twitter.com/curiositybasedFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/curiositybasedQuotes “There's pride in being a refugee.” “Treat people the way they want to be treated.” TakeawaysChildhood IncidentsJulie was born in communist Vietnam where her father was sentenced to a “re-education” camp for three years. He moved his family by boat to Seattle in the United States and changed her Vietnamese name to Julie. Her family moved from the city of Seattle into the suburbs just as she entered middle school, which she found to be “transformational” and it helped her build “inner resilience.” Influential Groups Julie has found the refugee experience to be transformative and takes pride in her community. She also credits her Vietnamese heritage for her optimism. Being an international student sparked curiosity within her while coming from an entrepreneurial background taught her relationship building and gave her high risk tolerance. Temperament and Personality InfluencesJulie claims she was always curious about people and asked questions about the world. In her 20s, she learned the value of generosity, and how helping others be successful also helps her. Cultural EpiphaniesWhen Julie lived in the United Kingdom, people spoke of distance in terms of kilometres, instead of in units of time, as she was used to doing in the US. In Vietnam, she discovered that her friends chose to cancel plans at the last minute even if they knew about a conflicting appointment beforehand, so she would not think they chose something else over her deliberately. Advice to an Employer Investigating how different people have different expectations of how to be treated, Julie came upon respect as the core value and conducted focus groups to explore this further. There are seven forms of respect: procedure, punctuality, information, candour, consideration, acknowledgement, and attention (PPICCAA), alongside the three dimensions of hierarchy, directionality, and what matters to you.More Great Insights! Take Julie's online 7 Forms of Respect individual edition self-paced course now!Support the show

Mit den Dolmetschwissenschaftlerinnen und -dozentinnen Martina Behr und Maren Dingfelder-Stone nimmt Michaela Haller zahlreiche Mythen unter die Lupe, die sich mehr oder weniger hartnäckig um den Beruf des Dolmetschers/der Dolmetscherin ranken. Unter anderem geht es um folgende Fragen: Wann sollte man anfangen, Simultandolmetschen zu unterrichten? In welcher Sprache notiert man denn nun eigentlich "richtig"? Und was hat es mit der angeblich besonders ausgeprägten Multitaskingfähigkeit von Dolmetscher*innen auf sich? Spannende Erkenntnisse aus der Dolmetschwissenschaft garantiert.

This week's podcast is about Full Truck Alliance, a B2B marketplace platform for freight and cargo. There are a lot of lessons on the difficulties and complexities of matching, pricing and network effects for more complicated services.You can listen to this podcast here or at iTunes, Google Podcasts and Himalaya.Here are the pages from the F-1 filing I mentioned.Questions for simple network effects:Local vs. regional vs. international network effects?Fast vs. slow network effects?Directionality of interactions (Facebook vs. Twitter)?Degree vs. value of connections?Minimum viable scale vs. asymptotic scale?What is congestion / saturation / degradation scale?Linear vs. exponential growth at different scales? For each user group.Questions for complicated network effects:Less than truckload freight (LTL). This is about coordinating demand and locations for mobility. This is similar to carpooling in ride-sharing. The matching, pricing and network effects are more complicated.On-demand vs. synchronous vs. asynchronous. Matching, pricing and network effects are more complicated. Pricing can follow spot demand vs. scheduled.Cyclical and other fluctuations in both supply and demand. This impacts both prices and utilization.Route specific network effects. Need to balance supply and demand (and critical mass) on each route.Serial routes. Matching, pricing and arranging multiple routes in sequence. Much more complicatedHow does this compare with economies of scale in geographic density. —--Related articles:3 Types of Network Effects (Asia Tech Strategy – Daily Lesson / Update)From the Concept Library, concepts for this article are:Network Effects - SimpleNetwork Effects - ComplicatedMarketplaces for ServicesFrom the Company Library, companies for this article are:Full Truck Alliance -----------I write and speak about digital China and Asia's latest tech trends.I also run Asia Tech Strategy, a podcast and subscription newsletter on the strategies of China / Asia tech companies.This content (articles, podcasts, website info) is not investment advice.

Dr. Britta Weigelt of MSKCC discusses her team's study on synchronous endometrial (EC) and ovarian carcinomas (OC) in Lynch syndrome and constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency Syndrome (CMMRD). Contrary to sporadic synchronous ECs/OCs, which are almost invariably clonally related, ECs/OCs simultaneously involving the uterus and ovary in LS patients may represent two independent primary tumors. Like their sporadic counterparts, a subset of MMR deficiency syndrome-related synchronous ECs/OCs may also originate from a single with the endometrium being the likeliest site of origin.Study by Weigelt et al, Clonal relationship and directionality of progression of synchronous endometrial and ovarian carcinomas in patients with DNA mismatch repair-deficiency associated syndromes.

The more implied volatility there is in a market, the higher the extrinsic value is across the strike plane. This means you can sell options for much more than if you were in a low IV environment, and that translates to being less directional. This translates to lower gamma risk, better breakevens, and much more! Tune in to learn more about this concept!

8 Million students in grades 4-12 cannot comprehend grade level reading material. 440 Thousand students sitting in American classrooms K-12 have a total reading vocabulary of less than fifty words. 3 Thousand students drop out of school each day. 40 Percent of African-American and Latino students will not graduate on time or with a regular high school diploma. 25 Times the likelihood that non-readers and high school students testing below the twentieth percentile will drop out of school. Every day students across the country are being labeled and put into "special" programs. The gap between those students and their peers reading at grade level simply continues to grow until the gap seems too large to overcome. Often these students begin acting out in class because they have learned that it is better to go one on one with the principal versus being embarrassed and frustrated in front of their peers. It is not the fault of the student, teacher, or parent. We must stop looking for the reason to justify the failure and find a way to over come it. Simply labeling students Dyslexic, Learning Disabled, and Autistic will not offer them a reading solution. These students do not need remediation; they need an accelerated compensatory approach to mastering language and reading skills. Dr. Joe Lockavitch has been in the trenches with non-readers, their families, and their teachers for over thirty years. Students in the bottom reading percentiles (0-15th %) are slipping through the cracks right before our eyes. Based on his experiences in the classroom with non-readers, Dr. Lockavitch (former college professor, school psychologist, special education director) researched and developed a new reading methodology targeting non-readers of all ages. Highly structured, repetitious, and non-phonic, The Failure Free Reading Methodology is an accelerated language program designed to give students, parents, and teachers the hope and the results they deserve. Dr. Lockavitch has seen it all. Throughout his career he has given reading demonstrations in places that have ranged from the heart of the Mississippi Delta, inner city schools in Detroit and Chicago, maximum-security prisons in South Carolina, and after school programs in Los Angeles, California. He will only do a demonstration under one condition and make only one claim, "I'll only work with your worst students. If you don't see immediate improvement in their reading ability within 30 minutes, I'll walk out the door." He hasn't walked out yet. Dr. Joseph F. Lockavitch, a former classroom teacher, school psychologist, university professor, special education director, and applied researcher, is the author and developer of: The Failure Free Reading Program, Don't Close the Book on Your Not-Yet Readers, Joseph's Readers Talking Software for Non-Readers, Verbal Master-An Accelerated Vocabulary Program, and The Test of Lateral Awareness and Directionality. Dr. Lockavitch is also the author of numerous published research articles. Dr. Lockavitch has spent the past thirty years training thousands of teachers, parents and administrators across the nation on how to meet the unique needs of America's non-readers. Featured on the PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer and mentioned on national radio shows such as: Tom Joyner, Dr. Laura, Mike Gallagher, and Michael Medved, Dr. Lockavitch holds a Doctorate of Education from Boston University and a Master of Science in Special Education from Southern Connecticut State. In addition, Failure Free Reading is one of the nation's most approved Supplemental Educational Service providers - directly serving over ten thousand students and clocking close to three hundred thousand tutoring hours.For Your Listening Pleasure all the radio shows available on The 'X' Zone Broadcast Network with our compliments, visit - https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv.Our radio shows archives and programming include: A Different Perspective with Kevin Randle; Alien Cosmic Expo Lecture Series; Alien Worlds Radio Show; America's Soul Doctor with Ken Unger; Back in Control Radio Show with Dr. David Hanscom, MD; Connecting with Coincidence with Dr. Bernard Beitman, MD; Dick Tracy; Dimension X; Exploring Tomorrow Radio Show; Flash Gordon; Imagine More Success Radio Show with Syndee Hendricks and Thomas Hydes; Jet Jungle Radio Show; Journey Into Space; Know the Name with Sharon Lynn Wyeth; Lux Radio Theatre - Classic Old Time Radio; Mission Evolution with Gwilda Wiyaka; Paranormal StakeOut with Larry Lawson; Ray Bradbury - Tales Of The Bizarre; Sci Fi Radio Show; Seek Reality with Roberta Grimes; Space Patrol; Stairway to Heaven with Gwilda Wiyaka; The 'X' Zone Radio Show with Rob McConnell; Two Good To Be True with Justina Marsh and Peter Marsh; and many other!That's The ‘X' Zone Broadcast Network Shows and Archives - https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv

I was honored to get to spend an hour chatting with Prof. Tyler Cowen of George Mason University. Tyler is the author of several books on topics ranging from the value of commercial culture to economic stagnation in the US. Tyler is remarkable in his breadth of learning, intense curiosity, and freshness of his ideas. While he does not come from a background in the physical sciences and engineering, I nevertheless think he has a great deal to offer my audience, as I have learned an inestimable amount from his books, podcast episodes, and public appearances. You can learn more about Tyler in the following places His blog, Marginal Revolution https://marginalrevolution.com/ Online education resources through Marginal Revolution University https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnkEhPBMZcEO0QGu51fDFDg His podcast, Conversations with Tyler https://conversationswithtyler.com/ Here is the transcript of my introduction: Tyler Cowen is a professor of economics and Director of the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. He is also the host of the podcast “Conversations with Tyler,” and author of a regular column on Bloomberg, along with engaging in a million other activities in writing, speaking, and investing. I've discovered many things through his books and podcast, from how to find good inexpensive ethnic food to why I should perhaps feel less guilty about my consumption of commercial culture. Back when it was safe to travel, I used to download several episodes of his podcast before long flights to academic conferences, and often remembered learning more from Tyler and his guests than I did from the conference. I invited him here today to see what an audience of natural scientists and engineers might learn from an economist. More so, I just think he has interesting thoughts on many of the topics that interest me and the people who are probably listening.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.11.06.371625v1?rss=1 Authors: Mezias, C., Raj, A. Abstract: Introduction: Current research indicates divergent spatiotemporal tauopathy progression between conditions and implicates transsynaptic connectome-based spread as a main mechanism. We examine tauopathy and connectome interactions to investigate why different spatiotemporal patterns of pathology arise. Methods: We test whether divergent spatiotemporal tau pathology patterns from 15 mouse-model datasets can be explained by a directional bias in tau transmission along fiber tracts via a mathematical model called Directed Network Transmission (DNT). Results: Amyloid-comorbid tauopathic mouse models meant to mimic AD demonstrate spatiotemporal tauopathy patterns consistent with retrograde direction spread biases. Non-amyloid-comorbid mice demonstrate no consistent spread biases. Further, canonically early tau pathology regions in AD are implicated as having earliest pathology in a simulation with random tauopathy seeding locations with retrograde biased spread. Discussion: These results implicate directional biases in tau pathology spread along fiber tracts as a strong candidate explanation for divergent spatiotemporal tau progression between conditions.

Our FBA Podcast this week is called Mind and Mental Events by Subhuti. These five omnipresent mental events (sarvatragas) constitute the basic mechanics of the mind; if you are conscious, they are present. 1. Feeling-tone (vedana) 2. Recognition (or conceptualisation) (samjna) 3. Directionality of mind (cetana) 4. Contact (sparsa) 5. Egocentric demanding (manaskara) From this we can conclude that: 1. All our experience is feeling-toned. The more conscious we are of this, the less we will react and be driven by our likes and dislikes. 2. We are always interpreting our experience with varying degrees of accuracy and depth. We can make an ongoing effort to raise the level of our experience. 3. The mind is always moving towards things. We can use cetana skilfully to move in the direction of Going for Refuge by practising the precepts etc. But we need to want to go in that direction. This talk is part of the series Mind and Mental Events (Subhuti 2001).

Abby and Amy come clean and ask: what determines the direction you face while in the shower? Discussion topics include: thoughts from A Real Science, bathroom SCUBA, and One Day More (solo version). Our music is Marie Curie by The Crypts!, from the album Discover Science.

One of my favorite humans is back on the show today! There are a lot of teachings out there about mindset and prosperity. One of the reasons I’m so excited to have Kisma back talking about this specifically, is I know her personally, I know how her business works, I see how great her relationships are, she’s one of the most consistently low-drama humans I know, she’s super fun, rarely stressed, AND I don’t think I’ve ever seen her overwhelmed. Basically, she LIVES and BREATHES what she teaches! And I respect this so much because tons of people can teach you how to make more money, but a lot of them are human disaster areas behind the scenes. During the interview Kisma helps us focus on the highest form of service, seeking our highest form, using specificity and intuition to move towards a higher state of being, doing, having, sharing, and creating. We also get into what prosperity actually is, and the flow between energy, thoughts and action. About Kisma Orbovich: Kisma Orbovich is often referred to as a leading transformational expert incorporating ancient wisdom for modern day success.
