Neuroplasticity and Growth Mindset
How Understanding Neuroplasticity Benefits People
To put it simply, neuroplasticity refers to the extent of which the brain can change and adapt to learning through repeated activation of the same neurons. The more time we spend learning or practicing something, the more we strengthen the neural pathways in our brain for that particular skill. The more plasticity our brain has, the more malleable it is, meaning that physiological changes to those neural pathways happen at a faster rate. This increases the efficiency of our learning, making it easier to recall specific information or excel at a particular task. Although the brain's neuroplasticity decreases as we age, there's still great potential for learning in adult life. It's clear to see that there's truth to the old adage "practice makes permanent" - so if you understand the science behind neuroplasticity, why wouldn't you put in the effort to learn or master a skill?
Increasing Your Neuroplasticity
Reflection and journalling are great ways to improve your neuroplasticity, as you're taking time to revisit things you've learned. It's also more of an active thought process as opposed to passively consuming information. Visualisation is another great tool to use for increasing neuroplasticity. Imagining yourself performing a skill activates the same neurons as if you were actually performing it.
In addition to the methods mentioned above, research suggests that other common lifestyle factors play a part in our brain's neuroplasticity. These factors include having a balanced diet rich in healthy fats, regularly engaging in physical exercise, getting adequate sleep, and reducing stress.
What the Experts Say
In the following video, "leading neuroscientists discuss their most recent findings and both the tantalising possibilities and pitfalls for our future cognitive selves". It's no quick watch (clocking in at one hour), but dives deeper into topics such as how the brain develops, the pros and cons of brain plasticity vs. stability, and plasticity in relation to mental illness and recovery from brain injury. Hearing a range of issues discussed can help better understand neuroplasticity in a broader context.
Growth Mindset - Why it's Relevant
Growth mindset is the belief that our skills and intelligence are not fixed. That by challenging ourselves with difficult tasks, perservering, and not being afraid of failure, we can grow and excel in areas of focus. Having a growth mindset in the context of learning, there's more incentive to work harder and embrace challenges understanding that this is how we improve.
A key area that growth mindset favours is creativity. When a person doesn't fear failure, they are more apt to take risks, accept challenges, or put forth new concepts. They know that whatever the outcome, it's an opportunity for learning. If we translate this into a broader application, employees in a growth mindset organisation are more likely to feel that they can try new things ultimately leading to a more positive, fulfilling work environment with higher levels of innovation. Employees are less likely to fear that they will be judged or punished for a reasonable risk not working out, as their employer values growth and thus will have their back.
Instilling Growth Mindset in Children
When considering growth mindset, it's extremely important to understand the impact our words and attitudes as parents can have on the mindset of our children. This more than likely requires a shift in thinking away from some of the traditional parenting methods. One particular thing to consider is praising effort and perserverance over result. The former technique encourages children to embrace challenges without worrying about getting a particular grade or looking smart, while the latter (praising result) makes kids more likely to stay within their comfort zone so that they can maintain the 'smart' label you gave them by achieving better grades. Children who learn to embrace challenges have a higher chance of developing a growth mindset, while those who are driven by results often end up with more of a fixed mindset. Another technique we can use with kids is judicious use of the word 'yet', for example telling a child that "it's okay they haven't got there yet" - reinforcing that learning is a journey and through hard work they will eventually achieve success.
It's clear that a growth mindset can be cultivated in children from a young age. So how do we start planting the seeds? This short animated video simplifies growth mindset in a way that kids can understand and relate to, and is a perfect introduction for young minds:
Integrating Neuroplasticity and Growth Mindset on a Personal Level
Having the knowledge is one thing, but putting it into practice is where we can gain an edge. Understanding how neuroplasticity works, it's clear that the more we practice or visualise a specific skill, the more our brains adapt to performing it with greater success. Having a growth mindset through this process encourages us to perservere when things are challenging, instead of giving up or looking for an easy way out.
Applying the principles of neuroplasticity to my own journey for instance, I intend to learn and challenge myself every day - even if it's just a minimal amount. I'm confident that this frequent repetition will help strengthen the neural pathways for the skills I'm developing. I will integrate growth mindset by embracing challenges, knowing that by doing things that are difficult or outside my comfort zone I'm facilitating my own personal growth and development.


Most of the time it turns out that the amount of data to be displayed can’t fit on a single page, or the page becomes ridiculously long. In such cases, you might want to turn pagination on.
The Pagination controls will be displayed on the bottom of the grid. user can set the number of rows displayed on the grid page and navigation controls.
To enable pagination, simply set pageable
to true and by default pageable is false.
{{demoSnippet.pagination}}
In default the table doesn't paginate it’s contents, even if pageable depended properties are set. Those properties will be discuss on Useful Properties section.
There are few more properties which effect the behaviour of pagination controls and those are applicable in global level of grid configuration after enabling the pageable.
page: number
The page property lets you to control which page the table starts off showing, from the declared page users can paginate into different data views with in the declared data limit.
limit: number
Controls how many rows are shown per page and the rest of the data row's will be paginate into series of grid pages. if limit is not provided by the configuration the default limit will be applied.

I am a team player. I work hand in hand with the production, and also can work on my own. I have a better understanding of what I am doing and engage with minimal supervision. With my experience, I have grasped a lot about my skills, nevertheless I am still eager to hone it to become better than myself.


 That's what I thought, too, until I noted it was written and directed by Kevin Smith who did the delightfully offbeat CLERKS, and that while CLERKS was made on that proverbial shoestring, this one had some money to back it. It was worth every cent.
Like the wacky CLERKS, MALLRATS is way out.  Somehow, none of it can be characterized as "porno." As an example, one of the young men puts his own feces on his hand, talks his girlfriend's father (Michael Rooker) into eating it by telling him its his favorite chocolate-covered cookie, and then shaking hands with him so that the remainder will stink for days on his hand. While one weird occurrence follows another at a rapid pace, the feces one is the most outrageous (but among the most hilarious). Director Kevin wanted to go all out and he did.
The film takes place in a mall where 2 young men who have lost their girlfriends (little wonder) spend the entire movie trying to win them back. On the way they visit a nude psychic (from the waist up) who, to their surprise, has three nipples. And on and on as the action becomes fast and furious but remaining funny.
Smith reprises his role of Silent Bob (in Clerks). Others in the cast are Brandi (Claire Forlani), Ivannah, the psychic (Priscilla Barnes), a host (Art James) at a game show at the mall, Brian O'Halloran (who was Dante in CLERKS) as well as Rene (Shannen Doherty) among others.
Teenagers will howl with delight but adults, too, should find it very entertaining and ... different. Leave the little ones at home.

Government halting key part of robo-debt scheme to recover debts from welfare recipients
by Paul FarrellThe federal government is immediately halting a key part of the controversial robo-debt scheme to recover debts from welfare recipients and will freeze some existing debts, in what appears to be a major backdown in the operation of the scheme.
In an urgent email circulated to all Department of Human Services compliance staff today, seen by 7.30, the general manager of the debt appeal division wrote:
“The department has made the decision to require additional proof when using income averaging to identity over payments.
“This means the department will no longer raise a debt where the only information we are relying on is our own averaging of Australia Taxation Office income data.”
The averaging process has long been one of the most controversial parts of the scheme.
Legal groups have said that it causes inaccuracies in the debt amounts, and wrongly shifts the burden of proof onto alleged debtors.
The email also sets out that the department would undertake a sweeping review of all debts where averaging was used.
“Customer compliance division will methodically work through previous debts identified as part of the online compliance program and respond to their requests for clarification,” it said.
The department will also be writing to affected customers.
“For customers who are affected, the department will freeze debt recovery action as CCD identifies them and looks at each debt. The department will also write to affected customers to let them know,” the email said.
7.30 has contacted the Minister for Government Services and the Department of Human Services for a response.
More to come.


1. Description
This node will be a HTCondor Submit node for the user jobs. You can install many such nodes to improve scalability of your system.
2. Hardware requirements
| CPUs | Memory | Disk |
| 1 | min 2GB (16GB recommended) | ~5GB |
This machine needs a reasonably recent CPUs and a large amount of memory (min 2GB, recommended 16GB, ~1.5MB per running job). The amount of disk needed depends on the user jobs; HTCondor itself uses very little (5 GB should be enough for HTCondor alone)
3. Needed software
See the prerequisites page for a list of software requirements.
4. Before you begin...
4.1 Required Certificates/Proxies
The installer will ask for several DNs for GSI authentication. You have the option of using a service certificate or a proxy, which should be created and put in place before running the installer. The following is a list of DNs the installer will ask for:
- Glidein Submitter cert/proxy DN
- User Pool (Collector) cert/proxy DN
- Glidein (VO) Frontend cert/proxy DN
4.2 Miscellaneous Notes
By default, match authentication will be used.5. Installation instructions
The scheduler node software should be installed as root. While it is possible to run the schedds as a non-privileged user, it has some serious security implications; see the HTCondor manual for details. The whole process is managed by the install script manage-glideins described below.
Move into
glideinWMS/install
and execute
./manage_glideins --install submit --ini /path/to/glideinWMS.ini
| Attribute | Example | Description | Comments |
| install_type | tarball or rpm |
If this is a VOFrontend RPM installation and you are doing a
'--configure', then rpm should be specified. If this is a stand-alone Submit install, only tarball installations are supported. |
Valid values: tarball, rpm. |
| hostname | submitnode.domain.name | hostname for Submit node | . |
| username | condor (non-root account) | UNIX user account that this services will run under. DO NOT use "root". | For security purposes, this value should always be a non-root user. |
| service_name | submit | Used as the 'nickname' for the GSI DN in the condor_mapfile of other services. | . |
| condor_location | /path/to/condor-submit | Directory in which the condor software will be installed. | IMPORTANT: The Submit can share the same instance of HTCondor as the Frontend. The condor_location must not be a subdirectory of the Frontend's install_location or logs_dir. They may share the same parent, however. |
| x509_cert_dir | /path/to/certificates-location | The directory where the CA certificates are maintained. | The installer will validate for the precesence of *.0 and *.r0 files. If the CAs are installed from the VDT distribution, this will be the VDT_LOCATION/globus/TRUSTED_CA directory. |
| x509_cert | /path-to-cert-location/cert.pm | The location of the certificate file being used. | This file must be owned by the user installing (starting/stopping) this service. Permissions should be 644 or 600. |
| x509_key | /path-to-cert-location/key.pm | The location of the certificate key file being used and associated with the certtificate defined by the x509_cert option above. | This file must be owned by the user installing (starting/stopping) this service. Permissions should be 600 or 400. |
| x509_gsi_dn | dn-subject-of-x509_cert-using-openssl | This is the identity of the certificate used by this service to contact the other HTCondor based GlideinWMS services. |
This is the subject of the certificate
(x509_cert option).
openssl x509 -subject -noout -in [x509_cert]It is used to populate the condor_config file GSI_DAEMON_NAME and condor_mapfile entries of this and the other GlideinWMS services as needed. |
| condor_tarball | /path/to/condor/tarballs/condor-8.7.6-x86_64_RedHat6-stripped.tar.gz | Location of the condor tarball. | The installation script will perform the installation of condor using this tarball. It must be a zipped tarball with a *.tg.tz name. |
| condor_admin_email |<EMAIL_ADDRESS>| The email address to get HTCondor notifications in the event of a problem. | Used in the condor_config.local only. |
| number_of_schedds | 5 | The desired number of schedds to be used. | There must be at least 1 schedd. |
| schedd_shared_port | 9618 | Specifies the port number to be used by the shared port daemon for schedds. | This can drastically reduce the number of ports used and thus improves scalability. The default port is 9618. If you install the user schedd on a separate host, this incoming TCP port remains to be open (it was 9615 for versions prior to GlideinWMS 3.4.1). For more detailed information on this, refer to the Advanced Condor Configuration - Mulitple Schedds using condor_shared_port feature. |
| install_vdt_client | n | Indicates if an OSG/VDT client should be installed if it is not already present in the vdt_location option location. |
This should be set as n - so the installler will not attempt to install the OSG Client You must pre-install OSG Client |
| vdt_location | /path/to/glidein/vdt | The location of the OSG/VDT client software. Used only if install_vdt_client option is 'y' | Leave this blank (since the install_vdt_client option is should always be 'n' |
| glideinwms_location | /path/to/glideinWMS | Directory of the GlideinWMS software. | Since this is a HTCondor service only, this software is only used during the installation process. |
For example configuration files, see here.
The installer allows you to automatically start the HTCondor daemons. To start them on your own, source the condor env script and execute:
/path/to/condor/location/condor start
To stop the HTCondor daemons, source the condor env script and execute:
/path/to/condor/location/condor stop
6. Submitting user jobs
From the user point of view, this is just a regular HTCondor pool.
However, since the resources potentially come from all over the world, users need to create more complex Requirements line in their JDL,
in order to prevent the jobs from landing on sites that cannot run their jobs.
Users will need to know which attributes the glideins publish and use them accordingly.
One useful attribute that all glideins publish is GLIDEIN_Site. If a user wants to restrict its job to a list of sites, he can do it by using:
+DESIRED_Sites = "Site1,Site4,Site7,Site22"
Requirements = stringListMember(GLIDEIN_Site,DESIRED_Sites)
Some glideins may also need to properly identify the final user, using GSI authentication. A user should thus add the following line:
x509userproxy = <path to X509 proxy>
to their HTCondor submission file.
7. Fine Tunning for Large Scale Installations
7.1 Increase the number of available file descriptors
Number of ports used by the condor_schedd process increases as the number of jobs running/queued in the schedd increase. The default number
of file descriptors per process is 1024 on most systems. Increase this limit to ~16k or value higher than number of jobs that might be in
the queue at any given time. This is particularly required for large scale installations.
In most cases for default installation, user schedd is configured to start as root and started through the script in /etc/xinet.d/condor. This
is a good place to set higher file descriptor limit for the schedd process.
