Países de donde más inmigrantes se han regularizado son Colombia y Marruecos?
Vamos, donde querrías mandar a tu hija a hacer un summer camp, no?

@TheOfficerTatum Murderer driving in flipflops in winter?(That seat in the UK, unless the video is inversed)

Are those shoes part of the medieval war attire that belongs to another land & centuries ago?
Those people are indeed nuts. Some religions and cultures are clearly still at sect level.

@CreativeDeduct This made my day, which started bad during the night, thinking thinking thinking feeling in a trap, very low.
It helps to refocus. Thanks.

@Liberfach0 La parte positiva es que los franceses de verdad, como acaban de perder la oportunidad de jugar al fútbol, a lo mejor dejan de perder el tiempo y el dinero en ese deporte y compran acciones del PSG... Pero vamos, que les quitan los puestos a los locales obviamente.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

An engineering professor who failed math her entire childhood spent years figuring out exactly what had been sabotaging her, and the answer was not low intelligence. It was a hidden mode her brain kept switching into that nobody had ever told her existed.

Her name is Barbara Oakley. The book is called A Mind for Numbers.

She failed math and science from grade school to the end of high school. Numbers felt like a language everyone else had been taught in secret.

So she ran toward the thing she was good at. She enlisted in the Army right after graduation, and the Army paid her to learn Russian at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey.

She got very good at Russian. Good enough to earn a degree in Slavic Languages, serve four years in Germany as a Signal Officer, and rise to Captain.

Then the wall appeared.

She watched her career options shrink because she could not handle the technical side of her own job. The people with math moved up and moved out. The people without it stayed stuck. So at 26 she did something that sounds insane. She left the Army and enrolled in engineering, starting from remedial math, sitting in classrooms with teenagers.

In between, she worked as a Russian translator on Soviet trawlers in the Bering Sea and as a radio operator in Antarctica. Today she is a professor of engineering at Oakland University with a doctorate in systems engineering.

The question that drove her for years was simple. What changed? She was the same brain that failed algebra. Why did it suddenly start working?

The clue was hiding in the one subject she had mastered. She noticed she had never learned Russian by staring at it. She practiced a little every day, walked away, came back, and the language quietly assembled itself between sessions. Math she had attacked the opposite way. Lock eyes with the problem. Push harder. Refuse to look away until it cracks.

It never cracked. And neuroscience explains why.

Your brain has two modes. The focused mode is the one you know. Tight attention, prefrontal cortex engaged, grinding through familiar steps. The diffuse mode is the one nobody teaches you. It runs in the background when you relax. It is loose, wide, and wired for connecting ideas that sit far apart from each other.

Oakley uses a pinball machine to explain the difference. In focused mode, the bumpers are packed tight. Your thought bounces in the same small circle, over the same ground, again and again. In diffuse mode, the bumpers spread out. The thought travels. It reaches parts of the brain the tight loop could never touch.

The trap has a name. The Einstellung effect. The first approach that comes to mind blocks every better approach behind it. The harder you focus, the tighter the loop, the more locked in you become. The grinding feels virtuous. It is actually the cage.

And every time her mind wandered off a math problem as a kid, she dragged it back, believing the wandering was laziness. The wandering was her brain trying to switch into the mode that solves things. She spent ten years fighting the half of her brain that wanted to help her.

You cannot run both modes at once. The diffuse mode only takes over when you genuinely let go. Which is why answers ambush you in the shower, on a walk, at the edge of sleep. Salvador Dali knew this. He napped in a chair holding a key over a plate, and the instant he drifted off, the key dropped, woke him, and he carried the half-formed ideas straight back into focused work. Edison did the same trick with ball bearings. Two of the most inventive minds in history were deliberately farming the mode the rest of us treat as slacking off.

The practical version fits in two sentences. Focus hard on the problem until you stall. Then stop completely, and let the other mode take the shift.

The break is not a reward for the work. The break is the work. It is also why cramming fails and procrastination is fatal. Diffuse mode needs hours and nights between focused sessions to build anything, and procrastination burns that time before the first session even starts.

Oakley failed math for ten years using one mode at full strength.

She became an engineering professor the day she started using both.

@ZiaYusufUK An experienced police can smell the blood, cann't he?
A sensitive person too.

Sometimes I wonder if a police dog could have replaced those three. More efficient, better perception, more intelligence less prejudices than some humans :(

This was discrimination.

@annamlulis I hope in the future, when she has a few kids, at least one looks, talks, dances like her brother.
Having more kids makes life a bit more bearable after this consequence of allowing criminals of all the planet join your own % of criminals, endangering all your citizens.

@isaacrrr7 Por cierto TODOS LOS CENTROS con personas con discapacidad cognitiva deberían tener cámaras 24/7. Especialmente si hay además menores.

[A cute secular it is @Sekularitis]

@isaacrrr7 Creo que debe ofrecérseles eutanasia con mucha insistencia. No veo sentido en un planeta limitado en recursos el dejar encerrados de por vida gastando recursos a seres que ponen en peligro a niños y solo les descubres cuando les han atacado. Y a veces aún así, se tarda.

@EricLDaugh Coroner is a public servant...

@tbatde_tb @AileenBart60380 Exactly my thought. If he is 55, salary for life, no work. If he is not, moved to another place, salary for life.

@daveatherton I obviously disagree with any slavery.

And a thought crossed my mind: Are those men better than the others? :(
For a second I wondered if they slave others too back home and treat the kids & women like garbage :/

@skscartoon And if you pamper a group allowing them to carry medieval war parafernalia, some will inevitably go up in collecting more and bigger knives.

Les das la mano y te agarran el brazo.

@DangerousThinkg Hey @netflix, are you including this in your repertoire?
