Agents Like Snowden Prone to Irrational Decision Making

ITHACA, N.Y. U.S. intelligence agents like the embattled Edward Snowden are more prone to irrational inconsistencies in decision making when compared to college students and post-college adults. Thats according a new Cornell University study to be published in an upcoming issue of the journal Psychological Science.

The study found intelligence agents exhibited larger biases on 30 gain-loss framing decisions, and were also more confident in those decisions. Thirty-six agents were recruited for the study from an anonymous federal agency, and were presented with scenarios such as:

- The U.S. is preparing for the outbreak of an unusual disease, which is expected to kill 600 people. Do you: Save 200 people for sure, or choose the option with 1/3 probability that 600 will be saved and a 2/3 probability no one will be saved?

- In the same scenario, do you pick the option where 400 will surely die, or instead a 2/3 probability that all 600 will die and a 1/3 probability no one dies?

The results showed agents treated equivalent outcomes differently based on superficial wording. They were more willing than college students to take risks with human lives when outcomes were framed as losses.

These results shed light on the decision-making mechanisms of intelligence agents who identify and mitigate risks to national security, said Valerie Reyna, Cornell professor of human development and psychology, and lead author of the study. Like some other laboratory gambling tasks, framing effects have been shown to predict real-world behavior, Reyna added.

Reyna also said these results suggest that meaning and context play a larger role in risky decision-making as experts gain experience. That experience can enhance performance, but also has predictable pitfalls.

David deForest Keys Comments on New Trends in Tech, Education

According to this year's NMC Horizon Report: 2013 K-12 Edition, there are many big tech trends will surely shape education in the year to come--and these trends have won a comment from investor
David deForest Keys. David deForest Keys has invested in, or consulted with, a number of leading educational tech companies, ranging from Brainscape to MeeGenius. He has also released a new statement to the press, commenting on the findings in the NMC report.

"All of these trends are being modeled in the corporate learning space, including Healthcare, which is famously slow to adopt technology," notes deForest Keys, in his new statement to the press. "Companies are trying to deliver more education with less investment--that is, relying less on educators and more on technology. This is very effective especially in the 'flipped classroom model' where all of the pre-requisite learning is delivered via digital devices and then the classroom serves as a master class. In other words when professionals (sales reps or even surgeons) come into the classroom or lab they have attained the baseline knowledge and then the classroom experience becomes interactive and high level instruction rather than lecture-based. This is the future."

As for the trends noted in the NMC report, there are several worth noting, beginning with the increased presence of the Internet in students' lives outside of the classroom--and in particular on mobile devices. This allows for more and more online and blended learning models to be implemented in schools, the report notes. This trend is also bolstered by an increased tolerance--and even increased zeal--among educators to use mobile devices and tablets as learning tools. As mobile devices become less and less costly, they become more and more commonplace in America's classrooms, and are increasingly recognized to be powerful educational resources.

The report also notes that print and digital textbooks are getting more and more competition from open-source content; educators love this, as it allows them to draw from content beyond the traditional textbook realm.

Additionally, more and more educators are finding encouragement through social networking. While teachers can sometimes feel isolated in their profession, the advent of social media has made it easier than ever for them to locate new lesson ideas, teaching techniques, or simple words of advice and encouragement from fellow educators.

With these new trends and opportunities there also come some challenges. One of the most significant challenges that today's teachers face is that there simply are not enough professional development opportunities for teachers who are not particularly tech-savvy, or who are not entirely comfortable using technology in their classrooms.

Additionally, there are more and more students, parents, and educators who are pushing for personalized learning technology--but while the demand is there, the technology itself is not.

One of the concluding points made by the report is that, in the year to come, mobile learning could reach a milestone--20 percent saturation in America's classrooms.

David deForest Keys is a passionate advocate of educational technology, and also a leading investor.

President Obama: How Long Are You Going to Let the Ignorance of Our Education Experts Dictate Education Policy?

This ignorance stems from one fundamental factor. We are still fuzzy about the true nature of the brain and mind and the differences between the two. Lets examine the mind first.

Our experts are so confused about the mind that we do not have mind as a topic in High School psychology text books. Yet it is the mind that is the most important part of our being human.

One of the big problems of science is that we are obsessed with defining the mind only after we can scientifically prove what the mind is. The focus is on trying to figure out what is the mind before we can teach about the mind.

Indeed the area of knowledge on the mind is dark and yet isn't some light better than no light?

Would you like to see your mind? Your self image is the face of your mind. You change your self image you change your mind. You educate your self image, you educate your mind. Till the time we are able to define the mind scientifically we can say that the self image is the mind. Mind education can be none other than self image education; at least for the time being. The main factor is that we do not need to know exactly what the mind is to educate the mind into becoming +2 super mature.

However self image education must be introduced on it's own accord. It is the quality of the self image that determines the quality of the emotional intelligence. Thus emotional intelligence education is self image education. Isn't it amazing that the self image is the litmus test of a super mature mind and yet the self image as a subject that needs to be studied, researched and taught is totally missing.

It is astounding how our experts have missed the importance of educating the self image; after all educating the self image is educating the mind.

All the human made mess in society is due to emotionally challenged behavior which is caused by the impure/phony/defective self image. Educating the self image into becoming the pure self will take away most of the man made mess and will make the whole society wise.

Thus the main factor is that we do not need to know exactly what the mind is to educate the mind into becoming +2 super mature. All we need to do is educate the self image and we will be educating the mind.

It is about time our text book writers and our experts introduced self image as a topic in psychology education. And a whole new bunch of researchers must take up researching the self image; what it is and how each and every self image can be transformed into becoming the pure self.

Are you going to keep talking the talk of improving education or are you ready to walk the walk for real education reform?

This press release is also addressed to all our education leaders; including Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey, Google Bosses, Mark Zuckerberg, Mayor Bloomberg, Senator Kerry, Senator McCain, Senator Menendez, soon to be Senator Booker, China leadership, Sheikha Mozah, Queen Noor, Harry Cahill, Education Secretary, Prince Charles, Deepak Chopra and Meera Gandhi etc.

The Singers' Cabaret Workshop: Develop Your Cabaret Persona

What does it take to be a cabaret artiste?
The Singers' Cabaret Workshop develops singers' cabaret skills

Campaigns for cabaret to be recognised as a genre began in 2006, spearheaded by artists Paul L Martin, Sarah-Louise Young, Dusty Limits and Time Out journalists Simone Baird and Ben Walters. In 2012, Frisky and Mannish led Cabariot, a movement sparked by Gary Barlow's use of "too cabaret" as a derogatory comment on the X Factor.

So what is cabaret and what are its demands on the performer?

The Singers' Cabaret Workshop, taught by founder of the London Cabaret Awards Paul L Martin and vocal coach Jamie Anderson, runs from the 20th to 30th of August 2013. Designed for professional singers, the course develops each participant's cabaret persona to help them conquer the hazardous stages of the cabaret circuit.

The Singers' Cabaret Workshop is a two-week course run by leading cabaret artistes Paul L Martin (founder of the London Cabaret Awards and Excess All Areas entertainment agency) and Jamie Anderson (vocal coach at Musical Theatre Academy; vocal director of 1916 - The Musical)

Acclaimed performer and writer Sarah-Louise Young (guest soprano in Fascinating Ada; award-winning creator of Cabaret Whore! and Cabaret Whore Encore!) will teach a guest workshop in clowning

The only course of its kind in the UK, the Singers' Cabaret Workshop is a unique opportunity to be mentored by top UK cabaret practitioners to craft a totally individual cabaret set and persona. The course culminates in a showcase performance for invited industry professionals offering the rare opportunity for participants to demonstrate their newly-developed skills in front of leading professionals in the cabaret field.

The Singers' Cabaret Workshop will take place at The Poor School (242 Pentonville Rd, London N1 9JY) and the industry showcase will take place on Friday 30 August at historic cabaret venue The Pheasantry (152 Kings Road, London, SW3 4UT).
