Talking freely and openly will get you a lot further than being shy. In Cuddy’s book “Presence” she goes over this in more detail.

It ’ s 2020 and there are very little people who don ’ t have a smartphone these days .
They have become an essential element in today ’ s society – what we thought would be a good thing has actually turned out to be a very bad thing .
Everyone is glued to their phones , but this isn ’ t the worst part about it .
People aren ’ t just staring at a video or a blank screen ; people are completely engulfed in a socially rated reality .
People are subconsciously getting their self-confidence from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because there is no possible way social media could represent the amazingness of your soul .
Every human soul is amazing in their own way , and it is extremely dangerous to get your self-worth from the web .
However , people do .
In fact Facebook is causing lots of social issues , especially in relationships .
Using Facebook Excessively Causes Partner Conflict – Facebook is destroying relationships in a number of ways .
For starters , using Facebook excessively has ties to romantic partner conflict .
A doctoral student from University @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the more someone is using Facebook then the more likely they will get into conflict with his or her partner .
I ’ m not surprised with the results they found either .
They found that high levels of Facebook use can predict terrible outcomes like cheating , breaking up , and even divorce .
Bragging on Facebook about how well your relationship is going is ridiculous .
For one thing it sets a societal standard for how a relationship needs to be in order to be good .
Secondly , it is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ own relationship .
You essentially start to have your Facebook relationship and your actual relationship .
Plus , it ’ s just rude to brag , so stop .
Researchers from St. Mary ’ s University found that through a survey , young couples are more susceptible to letting Facebook get between them .
I ’ m sure this is something we can all agree to .

That ’ s because Facebook increases the amount of jealousy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ survey to 308 college students , researchers found that 19.1 percent get jealous due to being able to see more information of what their partners are doing , 16.2 percent of students flat out said Facebook is a link to jealousy for them , 10.3 percent find it hard to not Facebook stalk their partners , and 7.4 percent said Facebook is ambiguous and therefore created misunderstandings with their partners .
Lead researcher Dr. David Houghton found that partners feel less supported when their significant other posts a selfie .
They should rather @ @ @ @ @ @ @ friends .
If this isn ’ t enough to prove to you that Facebook is bad for your relationship , then I don ’ t know what is .
When looking at populations , they found that a 20 percent increase of Facebook users correlated with a 2.18 percent increase in the divorce rate .
Because everyone is so easily accessible , and everyone is constantly trying to broadcast how amazing they are , it makes it tempting to cheat .
However , if one is faithful they won ’ t cheat , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ partner even being tempted ?
Not me .

It’s 2023 and there are very few people who don’t have a smartphone these days. They have become an essential element in today’s society – what we thought would be a good thing has actually turned out to be a very bad thing.
Everyone is glued to their phones, but this isn’t the worst part about it. People aren’t just staring at a video or a blank screen; people are completely engulfed in a socially rated reality. People are subconsciously getting their self-confidence from likes and shares! This is terrible because there is no possible way social media could represent the amazingness of your soul. Every human soul is amazing in their own way, and it is extremely dangerous to get your self-worth from the web. However, people do. In fact, Facebook is causing lots of social issues, especially in relationships.
Using Facebook Excessively Causes Partner Conflict – Facebook is destroying relationships in a number of ways. For starters, using Facebook excessively has ties to romantic partner conflict. A doctoral student from University of Missouri School of Journalism found that the more someone uses Facebook, the more likely they will get into conflict with their partner. I’m not surprised with the results they found, either. They found that high levels of Facebook use can predict terrible outcomes like cheating, breaking up, and even divorce.
Stop Facebook Bragging
Bragging on Facebook about how well your relationship is going is ridiculous. For one thing, it sets a societal standard for how a relationship needs to be in order to be good. Secondly, it is giving you a false sense of your own relationship. You essentially start to have your Facebook relationship and your actual relationship. Plus, it’s just rude to brag, so stop.
It’s Negatively Affecting Young Relationships
Researchers from St. Mary’s University found that through a survey, young couples are more susceptible to letting Facebook get between them.
It Increases Jealousy
I’m sure this is something we can all agree to. “Why’d you like Jane Doe’s Selfie?” Sound familiar? That’s because Facebook increases the amount of jealousy in your relationship. After giving a survey to 308 college students, researchers found that 19.1 percent get jealous due to being able to see more information of what their partners are doing, 16.2 percent of students flat out said Facebook is a link to jealousy for them, 10.3 percent find it hard to not Facebook stalk their partners, and 7.4 percent said Facebook is ambiguous and therefore created misunderstandings with their partners.
Selfies Make your Partner Feel Unsupported
Lead researcher Dr. David Houghton found that partners feel less supported when their significant other posts a selfie. They should rather be posting more photos of family and friends.
Facebook Even Causes Divorce
If this isn’t enough to prove to you that Facebook is bad for your relationship, then I don’t know what is. When looking at populations, they found that a 20 percent increase of Facebook users correlated with a 2.18 percent increase in the divorce rate.
It Tempts Infidelity
Because everyone is so easily accessible, and everyone is constantly trying to broadcast how amazing they are, it makes it tempting to cheat. However, if one is faithful they won’t cheat, but who wants to think about their partner even being tempted? Not me.

In recent times it seems one mother has been left quite distressed after finding images of her baby on a terrible website .
While most people don ’ t realize this , there are websites out there on which pedophiles and other monsters share images of young children around with others .
According to the Metro , this mother by the name of Amanda Morgan had posted photos of her daughter on her Instagram account without thinking twice , and well , those images ended up somewhere terrible .
The photos she posted of her young child who is now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the time of the photos being posted were shared on a Russian website where monsters could make disgusting comments about her .
Initially , she thought she was just sharing the photos with family and friends but it seems someone sinister got ahold of them as well .
Cute photos quickly became heart-breaking and anger-inducing after seeing the comments made by the monsters on this site .
Luckily Morgan was notified by other parents that these pictures had been shared on this site and while some of them were edited the things being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say the least .
It is mind-blowing how truly evil people in this world can be .
The Metro wrote as follows on this topic after speaking with Morgan : Amanda said she ‘ cried uncontrollably for 45 minutes ’ when first told about the site .
She continued : ‘ My partner couldn ’ t calm me down , I was sobbing and shaking .
I thought it was all my fault because I had this Instagram page .
‘ There are three pictures of my child on that website , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like that , I wouldn ’ t want to put my baby in make-up .
She has hazel eyes but someone ’ s edited them to make them look bright green and added black eyelashes and lipstick .
‘ As sickening as the comments were on Callia ’ s , they were mild .
The other stuff that ’ s on there is even worse .
I nearly threw up , I was literally retching like I was going to be sick .
I ’ ve not been sleeping properly since I found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first shared on her personal Instagram account before being circulated ‘ innocently ’ on ‘ cute baby pages ’ on other social media networks .
She is now warning other parents that their images might ‘ fall into the wrong hands ’ .
She has joined other parents in trying to get the website shut down , but as of now it still remains live , with her daughter ’ s images online .
It was also noted that there are abuse images all over this website as well and there are even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing bad things to children .

awarenessact--2020-08-28--Study Suggests Dreams Could Actually Be Continuation Of Reality

While it might sound odd , there are a lot of people who think that our dreams as a whole are something other than dreams .
Sure , they are something we experience while we ’ re sleeping , but they are in the eyes of some more real than you might expect .
A newer study from researchers at the Roma Tre University in Italy have published something on the topic recently and it ’ s garnering a lot of attention with good reason .
This study suggests that our everyday lives impact our dreams and that our dreams @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that might sound simple but it ’ s much deeper than it comes off as .
For this study , the researchers working on it analyzed dreams of a lot of people .
They actually looked at over 20,000 dreams and well , the things they found were quite interesting .
Looking into the DreamBank these researchers were able to test what is called the ‘ continuity hypothesis.
’ For those who might not be aware the ‘ continuity hypothesis ’ in regard to dreams is a hypothesis that suggests the content of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ waking concepts and concerns of the dreamer ’ according to Psychology Today .
The abstract of this study goes as follows and was published in The Royal Society Publishings : Sleep scientists have shown that dreaming helps people improve their waking lives , and they have done so by developing sophisticated content analysis scales .
Dream analysis entails time-consuming manual annotation of text .
That is why dream reports have been recently mined with algorithms , and these algorithms focused on identifying emotions .
In so doing , researchers have not tackled two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) how to mine aspects of dream reports that research has found important , such as characters and interactions ; and ( ii ) how to do so in a principled way grounded in the literature .
To tackle these challenges , we designed a tool that automatically scores dream reports by operationalizing the widely used dream analysis scale by Hall and Van de Castle .
We validated the tool ’ s effectiveness on hand-annotated dream reports ( the average error is 0.24 ) , scored 24 000 reports—far more than any previous @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ‘ continuity hypothesis ’ at this unprecedented scale : we found supporting evidence that dreams are a continuation of what happens in everyday life .
Our results suggest that it is possible to quantify important aspects of dreams , making it possible to build technologies that bridge the current gap between real life and dreaming .
Through this research , it was noted that it seems as though dream reports do contain statistical markers that reflect things the dreamers likely experienced or went through in the real world/their real lives .
It seems @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is some kind of continuity between what we see in our dreams and what we go through here in our lives while we ’ re awake .
Yes , more research will need to be done to break this down further but it ’ s something we as human beings have thought to be true all along anyways for the most part .

awarenessact--2020-08-28--Research Suggests A Supernova May Have Triggered Mass Extinction Over 350 Million Years Ago

While we know there was a devastating extinction event back in the Devonian Period , understanding what happened is harder than most might assume .
You see , the things that have happened in the past are not easy to figure out .
During this extinction event according to Space.com , about 75 percent of all species on the planet died out .
This while almost 360 million years ago is something researchers have been trying to understand for quite some time now .
That being said , it seems we may be closer to understanding it , more now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ under the title “ Supernova triggers for end-Devonian extinctions ” seems to suggest that this extinction could have been triggered by a supernova and it ’ s abstract goes as follows : The Late Devonian was a protracted period of low speciation resulting in biodiversity decline , culminating in extinction events near the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary .
Recent evidence indicates that the final extinction event may have coincided with a dramatic drop in stratospheric ozone , possibly due to a global temperature rise .
Here we study an alternative possible cause for the postulated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that could inflict damage by accelerating cosmic rays that can deliver ionizing radiation for up to ∼100∼100 ky. We , therefore , propose that the end-Devonian extinctions were triggered by supernova explosions at ∼20 pc∼20 pc , somewhat beyond the “ kill distance ” that would have precipitated a full mass extinction .
Such nearby supernovae are likely due to core collapses of massive stars ; these are concentrated in the thin Galactic disk where the Sun resides .
Detecting either of the long-lived radioisotopes Sm146Sm146 or Pu244Pu244 in one or more end-Devonian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , point to the core-collapse explosion of a massive star , and probe supernova nucleosynthesis .
Other possible tests of the supernova hypothesis are discussed .
While this is not set in stone , it is a good hypothesis to explore , that ’ s for sure .
According to this research , it seems this extinction could have been somehow triggered by a supernova roughly 65 light-years away during that period .

Things of this nature are always truly fascinating .

While we know there was a devastating extinction event back in the Devonian Period, understanding what happened is harder than most might assume. You see, the things that have happened in the past are not easy to figure out.
During this extinction event according to Space.com, about 75 percent of all species on the planet died out. This while almost 360 million years ago is something researchers have been trying to understand for quite some time now. That being said, it seems we may be closer to understanding it, more now than ever.
Research published by PNAS under the title “Supernova triggers for end-Devonian extinctions” seems to suggest that this extinction could have been triggered by a supernova and it’s abstract goes as follows:
The Late Devonian was a protracted period of low speciation resulting in biodiversity decline, culminating in extinction events near the Devonian–Carboniferous boundary. Recent evidence indicates that the final extinction event may have coincided with a dramatic drop in stratospheric ozone, possibly due to a global temperature rise. Here we study an alternative possible cause for the postulated ozone drop: a nearby supernova explosion that could inflict damage by accelerating cosmic rays that can deliver ionizing radiation for up to ∼100∼100 ky. We, therefore, propose that the end-Devonian extinctions were triggered by supernova explosions at ∼20 pc∼20 pc, somewhat beyond the “kill distance” that would have precipitated a full mass extinction. Such nearby supernovae are likely due to core collapses of massive stars; these are concentrated in the thin Galactic disk where the Sun resides. Detecting either of the long-lived radioisotopes Sm146Sm146 or Pu244Pu244 in one or more end-Devonian extinction strata would confirm a supernova origin, point to the core-collapse explosion of a massive star, and probe supernova nucleosynthesis. Other possible tests of the supernova hypothesis are discussed.
While this is not set in stone, it is a good hypothesis to explore, that’s for sure. According to this research, it seems this extinction could have been somehow triggered by a supernova roughly 65 light-years away during that period. This event could have caused the ozone to deplete and from there, things would domino into the mass extinction we’ve been trying so hard to understand for so long.
