New US CCS chargers report for May 2023

2023.06.06 12:32 boutell New US CCS chargers report for May 2023

Here are all of the new US CCS (Level 3 fast-charging) stations that rolled out in May 2023, according to the Department of Energy. These chargers are suitable for most new EVs on the market, except for:
  1. Tesla drivers who haven't bought the official CCS adapter yet. Certain older Teslas need additional work done to accept the adapter.
  2. Leaf owners like me, and some owners of older cars that also use CHAdeMO. If you drive a Leaf, or an older CHAdeMO car, see my matching post in leaf.
Some of these chargepoints will be "refreshes," e.g. the provider replaced them with faster chargers etc. Some may be incorrect. This report is only as good as the Alternative Fuels Data Center data.
There were 222 CCS charge points added or refreshed in May 2023, which is up from 171 in April. For comparison, there were only 74 new CCS charge points in May 2022. Things are speeding up.
"What about CCS charging at Tesla superchargers?" Tesla is in the process of rolling out their "magic dock" for non-Tesla cars, but so far in very few locations. If they start doing this at scale and reporting it to the Alternative Fuels Data Center then it will be reflected here.
"What about Ford vehicles with NACS (Tesla) plugs?" They are not on sale yet. Current-generation Ford vehicles have CCS plugs. The next generation will have NACS (Tesla) plugs, but will also support CCS via an adapter.
If you'd like to know about new chargers along your routes right away, or just prefer not to check this list monthly when new openings are rare in your area, I've set up a free service that provides email notifications as soon as they open. You can sign up at evpov.com. Or not! I don't really have a business plan here, I built it to help EV owners like myself.
To streamline this post, multi-chargepoint locations are listed with the number of chargepoints first, so that's why the post is shorter than in previous months.

2023.06.01 21:44 mcm8279 SLASH FILM on J.J. Abrams: "The Origins Of Cloverfield's Title Are Mundane Compared To Its Plot: "When thinking of a code for his movie's screenplay, he merely looked at a street sign. The code name stuck: Cloverfield Blvd. He was merely fond of the word ... and of the MYSTERY it created."

Link:
https://www.slashfilm.com/1297007/origins-of-cloverfield-title-mundane-compared-to-plot/
Quotes:
"One cannot understate the pop culture stir caused by Matt Reeves' 2008 film "Cloverfield." Co-produced by TV impresario J.J. Abrams, "Cloverfield" employed an effective marketing campaign wherein information was widely withheld from audiences, to the point where many couldn't tell you exactly what the film was about. There were rumors at the time that "Cloverfield" might be a stealth Godzilla movie, a Voltron film, or some other major franchise picture marketed in disguise. Others began to form elaborate plots in their minds, positing that the unseen monster in the "Cloverfield" previews might actually denote a larger, interdimensional conspiracy story.
​
As it turns out, the monster was merely a giant monster. The only striking and novel thing about "Cloverfield" was that it was a found-footage kaiju film, ostensibly shot in a shaky, handheld style by one of the characters within the movie. The shakiness of the film's camerawork reportedly made some audiences seasick, and warnings were posted outside certain theaters.
​
And then there was the matter of the title. What on Earth did "Cloverfield" mean? Was that the name of the monster? A military code name for something? Perhaps for the interdimensional conspiracy?
​
It turns out the title has a lot less meaning than a conspiracy theorist would find satisfying. In 2008, Abrams' studio, Bad Robot Productions, was located at 1221 Olympic Blvd. in Santa Monica, California. Locals will note that the address is very close to Olympic's intersection ... with Cloverfield Blvd. When thinking of a code for his movie's screenplay, he merely looked at a street sign. The code name stuck.
​
Cloverfield Blvd. is located right next to Santa Monica Airport, once the location of Clover Field, an airfield where early flights took off and landed. The street was named after the airfield.
​
Abrams, it seems, likes to make his films and TV shows in secret, ensuring that audiences will not have plot details leaked and spoiled. While Abrams has famously used the mystery as part of his shows' marketing campaigns, it's actually common for high-profile studio releases to use code names to keep prying eyes away.
[...]
"Cloverfield" was meant to be a stand-in code name for Reeves' monster movie. Other codes were used — "Slusho!," "Cheese," and "Chocolate Ourage!" among them — and "Cloverfield" was merely another. Unable to come up with a more compelling title, however, "Cloverfield" eventually stuck. Abrams, it seemed, was merely fond of the word ... and of the mystery it created.
​
Mystery solved: it was a street sign."

2023.05.30 14:28 ProfessorCoeus [Advice] I've spent the past year learning how to learn. Here are some of the key tips I have picked up!

For the past year I've been spending a huge amount of time on learning how to learn starting with Barbara Oakley's famous coursera course of the same name, to ultralearning from Scott Young, to Make It Stick by Peter C Brown, and from there I looked at papers on how to learn as well as sites and articles for anything else. This post is only a smidgen of what I've found, but I hope it is enough information for you to get started and hopefully find research yourself that you can look up to! I will link some recommended sources in the comments of this post so you can start with if you want to start digging deeper. Introduction
Firstly, let's talk about why learning how to learn is so important. Many people approach learning as a chore, something they have to do to get good grades or advance in their career. But what if I told you that by mastering the science of learning, you can actually make learning more enjoyable and efficient?
To understand how to make learning easier and more effective, we need to dive into the science behind it. The brain is an incredibly complex device, with a million billion synapses where memories are stored. But how exactly do these memories get stored and retrieved? How the Brain Works
To gain a better understanding of how memories are formed and retrieved, it is essential to delve into the intricacies of neurons and synapses. Neurons, as the fundamental building blocks of the brain, play a crucial role in the process of memory formation and retention. Synapses, on the other hand, are the interconnecting bridges that allow neurons to communicate with each other. When we learn something new, electrical signals are transmitted through these synapses, which in turn produce neurotransmitters responsible for the storage of memories
However, the process of memory formation is not just about having more synapses. It is also about the manner in which they are connected to one another. Different areas of the brain are responsible for various aspects of learning and memory. The hippocampus and frontal cortex, for instance, are involved in analyzing perceptions and deciding what information to store, while the amygdala plays a vital role in integrating emotions and memory. It is through the complex interplay of these different neural regions that memories are formed, stored, and retrieved. How Memory Works
Memory is an intricate process that involves multiple stages. These stages are sensory, short-term, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is the first stage of memory that receives and processes fleeting impressions of your perceptions. It is responsible for holding raw information for a very short time, no more than a few seconds.
Short-term memory is the second stage of memory and is like a storage unit that holds about four chunks of information and lasts for 20-30 seconds. During this stage, the brain processes and stores the information currently in use, such as a phone number, an address, or a short message.
It is long-term memory that we tend to think of when we talk about memory. This stage is responsible for storing and retrieving information for an extended period. The long-term memory capacity is vast, and it is where the most important and meaningful memories are stored.
To move information from short-term to long-term memory, you need to use a technique called spaced repetition. This involves repeating what you're trying to retain over several days to strengthen the synaptic connections between neurons. However, it's not just about repetition - it's about encoding, storage, and retrieval processes. Encoding is the process of transforming information into a meaningful code that can be stored in memory, while storage is the process of retaining that information over time. Lastly, retrieval is the process of accessing stored information when needed. Common Misconceptions about Learning and Memory
There are a number of myths and misconceptions surrounding the processes of learning and memory that can unfortunately hinder one's progress. One common misconception is that intelligence is a fixed trait and that one's memory or learning abilities cannot be improved. However, the reality is that anyone can improve their memory and learning skills through deliberate and consistent practice.
Another popular myth is the belief that taking breaks during learning or studying is a waste of time. However, in truth, taking breaks is an essential component of effective learning. When you take a break, your brain's diffuse mode works in the background, creating new neural connections and allowing you to see things from different perspectives, leading to better and more comprehensive learning.
By understanding the science behind learning and memory, one can approach the process of learning with a more positive mindset and focus on utilizing effective strategies. With the right techniques, anyone can learn new information deeply and quickly, making the process of learning a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. In addition, there are many tools and resources available to help one improve their learning and memory abilities, including mind mapping, mnemonic devices, spaced repetition, and more. Techniques for Effective Learning
Now that we've busted some myths, it's time to explore some tried-and-true techniques for effective learning. These techniques involve taking advantage of the way our brains naturally process and store information. Let's dive in! Recall
Recall is an effective strategy for improving memory retention because it strengthens the synaptic connections between neurons. Essentially, when you actively retrieve information from memory, you are exercising your brain and making it easier to retrieve the information in the future. This technique can be thought of as lifting weights for your brain, and just like with physical exercise, consistent practice is key.
To effectively use recall in your study routine, start by actively testing yourself on the material you are trying to learn. For example, if you are studying for a history exam, try to recall important dates and events without looking at your notes. This will help to exercise the neural pathways associated with that information and make it easier to remember in the future. Another effective technique is to use flashcards, which allow you to actively retrieve information from memory and test yourself on specific concepts or terms.
The reason why recall is so effective for improving memory retention is because it strengthens the synaptic connections between neurons. When you repeatedly retrieve information from memory, you are essentially reinforcing the neural pathways associated with that information. This makes it easier to retrieve the information in the future, because the pathways have been strengthened and the information is easier to access.
In addition to recall, there are other strategies that can improve memory retention. Spaced repetition is one such strategy, which involves repeating what you're trying to retain over several days to strengthen synaptic connections. Chunking is another strategy, which involves piecing together bits of information through meaning and usage. This allows you to tie meaning to a concept or idea and make it more memorable. By incorporating these techniques into your study routine, you can optimize your learning and retain information more effectively. Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition is a powerful technique that can be used to improve your ability to retain information. It involves repeating what you are trying to remember over several days to strengthen synaptic connections in your brain. The technique, much like watering a plant, requires the right amount of repetition at the right intervals to achieve optimal growth.
To effectively use spaced repetition, it is important to first create a schedule of when and how often to repeat the material. For example, if you are trying to memorize a list of vocabulary words in a foreign language, you might start by studying the words for a few minutes each day for a week. Then, you might repeat the list of words every other day for the next two weeks, and then once a week for the following month. This spaced repetition schedule allows for optimal growth of synaptic connections in your brain, improving your ability to retain the information.
Another example of spaced repetition in action is when learning to play a musical instrument. Instead of practicing for hours on end, it is often more effective to practice for shorter periods of time, with breaks in between to allow your brain to consolidate the new information. By spacing out your practice sessions and repeating the material over several days, you can improve your ability to retain the information and improve your overall skill level.
Spaced repetition works because it takes advantage of the brain's natural learning processes. When you learn something new, your brain creates new synapses between neurons to store the information. However, these synapses are relatively weak at first and can easily be forgotten. By repeating the material over several days, the synapses become stronger and more permanent, making it easier to recall the information later on. This technique also helps to prevent forgetting by refreshing the memory at regular intervals, further strengthening the synaptic connections in your brain. Interleaving
Interleaving is a highly effective technique for learning and practicing skills or concepts. It involves mixing up different types of problems or materials, which can help you to better retain and apply the information. The key to effective interleaving is to ensure that you are constantly switching between different types of problems or materials in a way that allows your brain to make new connections between ideas and to think in a more flexible and adaptable way. This can lead to deeper understanding and more efficient learning.
For example, if you are trying to learn a new language, you might start by practicing basic vocabulary and grammar rules. However, instead of simply repeating the same exercises over and over again, you could try interleaving different types of exercises, such as practicing vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension in quick succession. This would force your brain to constantly switch between different types of problems, which would help you to better retain and apply the information.
Another example of interleaving is in sports training. Instead of performing the same drills over and over again, athletes can benefit from mixing up their training routine. For instance, a basketball player might practice shooting, dribbling, and passing in quick succession, rather than focusing on a single skill for an extended period of time. This would force the player to adjust to different types of challenges and think in a more flexible and adaptable way, which would ultimately improve their overall performance.
The reason why interleaving is so effective is that it forces your brain to constantly switch between different types of problems, which helps to build new neural connections and reinforce existing ones. By constantly challenging your brain to adapt to new situations, you are training it to be more flexible and adaptable, which can lead to deeper understanding and more efficient learning. Additionally, interleaving can help to prevent boredom and keep you engaged in the learning process, which can ultimately lead to better overall outcomes. Mnemonics
Mnemonics are an effective memory aid that can help you remember information by creating associations between the information you want to remember and other things that you already know. This technique works because the brain is naturally wired to remember things that are meaningful and connected to other information.
One way to use mnemonics is to create a memorable sentence or acronym that represents a list of items. For example, to remember the colors of the rainbow in order, you can use the acronym ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). Another way to use mnemonics is to create a memorable image that represents a concept. For example, to remember the difference between weather and climate, you can imagine a man holding an umbrella (weather) while standing next to a tree (climate).
To use mnemonics effectively, it's important to create associations that are vivid, meaningful, and easy to remember. You should also try to use mnemonics in a way that makes sense to you personally. For example, if you have a strong association between a particular food and a memory, you can use that food in your mnemonic to help you remember the information.
Overall, mnemonics are a powerful tool that can help you remember information more effectively. By creating associations between new information and things you already know, you can improve your memory and recall more easily. Memory Palace
The Memory Palace technique is an excellent mnemonic strategy that can be utilized to improve memory. This technique involves creating a mental map of a familiar location, such as your home or workplace, and associating each item that you want to remember with a specific location in that place. By doing so, you can significantly improve your ability to remember things.
To effectively use this technique, start by selecting a location that you are familiar with and that has a specific structure, such as a house or a building. Next, imagine yourself walking through the location and identify specific objects or landmarks that stand out to you. For example, if you choose your apartment, you could associate the couch with the color red, the dining table with a vase of flowers, and the kitchen with the smell of coffee.
Once you have identified these landmarks, you can associate each item that you want to remember with a specific location in your mental map. For instance, if you want to remember a list of grocery items, you can associate each item with a specific location in your home. For example, you can associate apples with the fruit bowl on your kitchen counter, bread with the bread box on your kitchen shelf, and milk with the refrigerator in your kitchen. By doing so, when you need to recall the items, you can simply visualize your mental map of your home and recall the location of each item.
This technique is effective because it leverages the power of visualization and association. By associating each item with a specific location in your mental map, you create a visual and spatial representation of the information in your mind. This makes it easier for you to recall the information later because your brain has formed strong connections between the items and the locations. With practice, you can use this technique to remember even long lists of items, and impress your friends and colleagues with your newfound memory skills. Chunking
Chunking is a technique for memorizing information by grouping it into smaller chunks, making it easier to remember. For example, if you need to memorize a phone number, you might chunk it into three groups of numbers, like 555-123-4567. This makes it easier to remember because it's easier to remember three smaller chunks than one long string of digits.
Another example of chunking is breaking down a larger concept into smaller, more manageable pieces. For instance, if you're trying to learn a new programming language, you might start by breaking it down into smaller components, such as syntax, data types, and control structures. Once you've mastered these smaller chunks, you can start piecing them together to gain a better understanding of the language as a whole.
Chunking is effective because it makes it easier for the brain to process and store information. When information is presented in smaller, more manageable chunks, it's easier for the brain to process and remember. Additionally, chunking helps to create meaningful connections between pieces of information, making it easier to recall them later.
To effectively use chunking, it's important to give the task your undivided attention and then find the overall big picture and key ideas. You can perform a quick picture walk-through of your material, and anything that stands out is usually important. You should then provide context for your ideas and concepts to know when to use them. Finally, you want to tie auditory hooks to your memory by speaking about it out loud with self-explanation.
Overall, chunking is a powerful technique for learning and memorization because it makes information more manageable and easier to process. By breaking down larger concepts into smaller, more manageable chunks, you can make it easier for your brain to process and store information, making it easier to recall later on. Self-Explanation
Self-explanation is a powerful learning technique that can be used in a variety of contexts. One way to effectively use self-explanation is to ask "why" questions when encountering a new concept. For example, if you are learning about the concept of photosynthesis, you might ask yourself, "Why do plants need sunlight in order to produce energy?" By asking and answering these types of questions, you are actively engaging with the material and promoting the formation of new connections between ideas.
Another way to use self-explanation is to relate new concepts to what you already know. For example, if you are learning a new language and come across a new word, you might try to relate it to a word in your native language that has a similar meaning. This can help you remember the new word and also reinforce your understanding of the concept it represents.
Finally, self-explanation can be used to identify gaps in your understanding. For example, if you are reading a complex scientific article and come across a term or concept that you don't fully understand, you might try to explain it to yourself in your own words. If you can't explain it, that might be an indication that you need to go back and review the material or seek additional resources.
The reason why self-explanation is such an effective learning technique is that it encourages individuals to actively engage with the material and construct new knowledge by relating it to what they already know. By creating a dialogue with oneself, one is able to identify gaps in their understanding and clarify their thinking, leading to a more thorough and integrated understanding of the material. Essentially, self-explanation is like having a conversation with your own brain, which can be a powerful tool in the learning process. Elaborative Interrogation
Elaborative interrogation is a powerful technique that can help you improve your learning process by asking yourself "why" questions and trying to come up with a detailed explanation. This process can be thought of as trying to be a detective in your own mind, where you are constantly trying to uncover new clues and piece together the information you already have. Here are a few examples of how to effectively use this technique:
When studying history, ask yourself why certain events occurred and what factors led to them. Try to come up with a detailed explanation that takes into account all the relevant factors. When learning a new concept in science, ask yourself why it works the way it does, and try to come up with a detailed explanation that includes all the relevant principles and laws. When reading a novel, ask yourself why certain characters behave the way they do, and try to come up with a detailed explanation that considers their motivations and past experiences.
This technique works because it forces you to engage with the material on a deeper level and make connections with other ideas. By asking yourself why something is true, you are actively processing the information and creating new neural connections. This process helps you to remember the information better and understand it more deeply. Furthermore, the process of elaborative interrogation helps to overcome illusions of understanding by exposing gaps in knowledge and highlighting areas that need further clarification.
Moreover, these techniques can make learning more effective and enjoyable. Whether you are trying to learn a new language, improve your math skills, or expand your knowledge, these techniques can help you achieve your goals. Not only do they allow you to think more critically and creatively, but they also stimulate your brain in new ways and encourage you to explore different perspectives and ideas.
So, if you haven't tried these techniques yet, give them a try! You might be surprised at how much they can improve your learning experience. Your brain will certainly thank you for it! Beating Procrastination
Procrastination is a fascinating phenomenon that affects all of us in some way or another. It's like a monster that lurks inside our brains, always ready to pounce when we need to get something done. When we're faced with a task that we don't want to do, our brain associates it with pain, discomfort and stress. It's like our brain is telling us that this task is going to be hard and that we're going to have to work really hard to get it done. This is because the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and cognitive control, is in charge of regulating behavior associated with goals. When faced with a difficult task, the prefrontal cortex sends signals to the amygdala, the part of the brain associated with emotion, to initiate a stress response. This stress response activates the release of cortisol, a hormone that is associated with the body's response to stress, and creates physical discomfort in our body. This discomfort is what we perceive as pain, and it's what makes procrastination so difficult to overcome.
To make matters worse, our brains are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. When we procrastinate, we turn to activities that give us immediate pleasure, like scrolling through social media or watching TV. These activities release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. Our brains then begin to associate procrastination with pleasure, making it even harder to overcome.
So, how can we beat procrastination?
To beat procrastination, it's important to understand the habit loop consisting of a cue, routine, reward, and belief. Once you have identified the cues and rewards that drive your procrastination habits, you can develop strategies to override them. For example, if the cue for procrastination is checking social media, you can remove the social media app from your phone or block it during certain times of the day. If the reward for procrastination is watching TV, you can reward yourself with an episode of your favorite show after completing a task.
This technique works because it helps to rewire the neural pathways associated with procrastination. By changing the cues and rewards, you can change the behavior associated with the habit. Additionally, by developing new habits and routines, you can strengthen the neural pathways associated with those behaviors, making them more automatic and easier to perform over time. With practice, you can learn to override the procrastination habit and develop more productive habits that help you achieve your goals.
The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that involves breaking work into 25-minute intervals, called "pomodoros," followed by a 5-minute break. After four pomodoros, take a longer break of around 15-30 minutes. However, it is important to note that you do not have to follow this exact timing and can adjust the intervals to fit your needs.
The Pomodoro technique works because it helps you stay focused and avoid distractions. By breaking work into manageable intervals, you are less likely to become overwhelmed or lose focus. Additionally, the breaks allow your brain to rest and recharge, making it easier to stay productive throughout the day.
To effectively use the Pomodoro technique, start by identifying the task you want to complete. Set a timer for 25 minutes and work on the task until the timer goes off. Take a 5-minute break, then repeat the process. After four pomodoros, take a longer break to recharge. It can also be helpful to track your progress and make adjustments as needed. If you find that 25-minute intervals are too long or too short, adjust the intervals to fit your needs.
Here are a few concrete examples of how to use the Pomodoro technique:
When studying for a test, break the material into manageable chunks and work on each chunk for 25 minutes at a time. When writing a paper, work on one section for 25 minutes, then take a break before moving on to the next section. When working on a project, break it down into smaller tasks and work on each task for 25 minutes at a time.
Overall, the Pomodoro technique is a simple but effective way to manage your time and stay focused on your work. Of course, you don’t have to follow 25/5 pomodoro. You can do 50/10, 45/15, etc. I wouldn’t recommend letting yourself study for more than one hour at a time however.
Journaling about your procrastination habits can help you identify triggers and develop strategies to overcome them. For example, if you find yourself procrastinating when faced with a difficult task, you could break it down into smaller, more manageable steps. By doing this, you can build momentum and gain a sense of accomplishment as you complete each step, which can help motivate you to continue working.
Time blocking is another effective technique for combating procrastination. To use this technique, you can break up your day into specific time slots and dedicate each slot to a specific task. For instance, you could block out two hours for writing a report, followed by a 30-minute break, then another two-hour block for responding to emails. This can help you stay focused and prevent distractions from derailing your progress. By scheduling specific tasks at specific times, you can create a sense of urgency and hold yourself accountable for completing them.
Both journaling and time blocking work by helping you stay organized and focused on your goals. By identifying the triggers that lead to procrastination and breaking your day into manageable tasks, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed and build the momentum you need to achieve your goals. Additionally, these techniques can help you develop a sense of control over your time and reduce the anxiety and stress that often accompany procrastination.
"Eat your frogs first" is a technique that involves tackling your most difficult or unpleasant task first thing in the morning when your willpower is at its strongest. This technique is effective because it helps to build momentum and make the rest of your day feel more manageable.
For example, if you have a project that you've been dreading, start your day by working on it for an hour or two. By doing so, you'll be able to make significant progress and feel a sense of accomplishment that will carry you through the rest of your day. Alternatively, if you have a difficult conversation that you've been putting off, schedule it for the beginning of your day when you're most alert and focused.
Another example of this technique in action is a writer who starts their day by writing their most challenging section first, such as the introduction or conclusion. By doing so, they build momentum and gain confidence that they can complete the rest of their work.
Overall, eating your frogs first is an effective technique because it helps you to break through procrastination and build momentum towards your goals. By tackling your most difficult or unpleasant task first, you'll be able to make progress and build confidence that will carry you through the rest of your day.
To effectively remove environmental triggers that lead to procrastination, you can take a few concrete steps. For example, if you find yourself constantly checking your phone when you should be studying, you can put your phone in another room or turn off notifications during your study sessions. Another example is to create a designated study space that is free from distractions, such as a library or a quiet room in your house. This can help you stay focused and avoid interruptions. Additionally, you can make your environment clean and organized by removing clutter and creating a clear workspace. This can help you feel more motivated and focused on your goals.
The reason this technique works is that it helps reduce the distractions that can lead to procrastination. By removing environmental triggers, you are creating an environment that is conducive to studying and learning. This can help you stay focused on your tasks and avoid the temptations that can derail your progress. Additionally, by creating a clean and organized workspace, you are signaling to your brain that it is time to focus and be productive. This can help you get into the right mindset for learning and studying.
In summary, beating procrastination is all about understanding the habit loop, pomodoro, identifying your triggers, and developing strategies to override them. By using techniques like journaling, time blocking, and eating your frogs first, you can stay focused and make progress towards your learning goals. So the next time you find yourself procrastinating, remember that you have the power to take control of your habits and achieve your dreams. Your brain will thank you for it! Lifestyle Choices That Improve Memory
Now that we've covered some techniques for learning more deeply and efficiently, let's talk about some lifestyle choices that can help improve your memory even further. These tips are designed to help you take care of your brain and optimize its performance, so that you can learn and remember more effectively. Exercise
Exercise has been shown to have numerous benefits for brain health and cognitive function, including improved memory. But how exactly does exercise help improve memory? One theory is that exercise increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain, which helps to nourish brain cells and promote the growth of new neurons. Additionally, exercise has been shown to increase the production of certain chemicals in the brain, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is important for the growth and survival of neurons.
To effectively use exercise to improve memory, it's important to engage in cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart rate up and increases blood flow to the brain. This can include activities such as running, cycling, swimming, or brisk walking. It's also important to make exercise a regular part of your routine. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
Finally, it's important to stay motivated and make exercise a fun and enjoyable part of your routine. Find activities that you enjoy and that you look forward to, and try to make exercise a social activity by finding a workout buddy or joining a group fitness class. By making exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your routine, you can reap the many benefits it has to offer for both your body and your brain. Meditation
Meditation is a powerful tool for improving memory and cognitive function. This ancient practice has been used for centuries to help people calm their minds and improve their focus. Recent research has shown that meditation can actually change the structure of the brain, improving memory and attention span. To effectively use this technique, start by finding a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor, with your back straight and your eyes closed. Focus on your breath and try to clear your mind of all other thoughts. When your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your breath. Start with just a few minutes each day and gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable with the practice.
One reason why meditation can improve memory is that it helps reduce stress and anxiety, which are known to impair memory function. Additionally, meditation can increase the size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is critical for memory and learning. This can lead to better memory consolidation and recall.
To illustrate the effectiveness of meditation for memory improvement, a study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara found that participants who meditated for just 10 minutes a day for two weeks showed significant improvements in working memory and executive function compared to a control group. Another study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that a mindfulness meditation program improved memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
In conclusion, meditation is a simple yet powerful technique for improving memory and cognitive function. By reducing stress and anxiety, increasing the size of the hippocampus, and improving memory consolidation and recall, meditation can help you reach your learning goals and achieve success. Brain-Boosting Foods
Eating certain foods can promote brain health and improve memory. For example, blueberries are high in antioxidants that protect brain cells from damage and inflammation, while salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support brain function and improve memory. Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts, contain vitamin E that helps prevent cognitive decline and enhance memory recall. Additionally, dark chocolate contains flavonoids that improve blood flow to the brain, which can boost cognitive function.
These brain-boosting foods work by providing essential nutrients that nourish the brain and promote the growth of new neurons. Antioxidants, for example, protect the brain from damage and inflammation caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells. Omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, are important for brain function and can improve memory by supporting the growth of new neurons and enhancing communication between brain cells. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and can help prevent cognitive decline by protecting the brain from damage. Finally, flavonoids in dark chocolate can improve blood flow to the brain, which can boost cognitive function.
To effectively use this technique, it is important to incorporate brain-boosting foods into your diet regularly. Snack on a handful of almonds or blueberries, include salmon in your meals, and indulge in a square of dark chocolate every now and then. It is also important to maintain a balanced and healthy diet overall and to exercise regularly, as physical activity has been linked to improved brain function and memory. Sleep
Getting enough sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and cognitive function. To effectively use this technique, it's important to establish a regular sleep schedule and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Avoiding caffeine and screens before bedtime and creating a relaxing sleep environment can also help you fall asleep more easily.
One concrete example of how to incorporate this technique into your routine is to set a specific bedtime and wake-up time, and stick to it every day. This will help regulate your body's internal clock and make it easier to fall asleep and wake up at the same time each day. Another example is to avoid stimulating activities before bedtime, such as watching TV or using electronic devices, which can interfere with your ability to fall asleep.
The reason why sleep is so important for memory consolidation is that during sleep, the brain processes and consolidates memories, making it easier to remember what you've learned and make connections between different pieces of information. Additionally, getting enough sleep can improve cognitive function, including attention, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. In contrast, not getting enough sleep can lead to fatigue, poor memory retention, and decreased cognitive function. Other Lifestyle Changes
Adding new activities to your routine can be a great way to improve your memory and cognitive function. In fact, there are numerous activities that can be beneficial for your brain health and cognitive abilities.
For example, playing chess is a popular activity that can help to improve your problem-solving skills and strategic thinking abilities. It is a game that requires you to think ahead and anticipate your opponent's moves, which can help to challenge your brain in new ways. Similarly, learning a new instrument can be a great way to challenge your brain and promote the growth of new neurons. It requires you to learn new skills, such as reading music, playing different chords, and developing your sense of rhythm. All of these skills can help to stimulate your brain and improve cognitive function.
In summary, by making some simple lifestyle changes, you can improve your memory and cognitive function. Exercise, meditation, brain-boosting foods, sleep, and other activities can all help to promote brain health and improve memory. So, take care of your brain, and it will take care of you!

2023.05.30 14:13 ProfessorCoeus I spent the past year learning how to learn. Here are the key parts I have gathered so far!

So for the past year I've been spending a huge amount of time on learning how to learn starting with Barbara Oakley's famous coursera course of the same name, to ultralearning from Scott Young, to Make It Stick by Peter C Brown, and from there I looked at papers on how to learn as well as sites and articles for anything else. This post is only a smidgen of what I've found, but I hope it is enough information for you to get started and hopefully find research yourself that you can look up to! I will link some recommended sources in the comments of this post so you can start with if you want to start digging deeper.

Introduction

Are you struggling to learn new things effectively? Do you feel like you're not making progress despite putting in a lot of effort? Learning how to learn is a crucial skill that can help you overcome these challenges and achieve your goals. In this post, we'll discuss the science behind effective learning and memory, and explore various techniques and insights from books and sources to help you learn things deeply and quickly. Whether you're a student, professional, or anyone who wants to improve their learning skills, this post is for you. So let's dive in and learn how to learn!
First, let's talk about why learning how to learn is so important. Many people approach learning as a chore, something they have to do to get good grades or advance in their career. But what if I told you that by mastering the science of learning, you can actually make learning more enjoyable and efficient?
To understand how to make learning easier and more effective, we need to dive into the science behind it. The brain is an incredibly complex device, with a million billion synapses where memories are stored. But how exactly do these memories get stored and retrieved?

How the Brain Works

To gain a better understanding of how memories are formed and retrieved, it is essential to delve into the intricacies of neurons and synapses. Neurons, as the fundamental building blocks of the brain, play a crucial role in the process of memory formation and retention. Synapses, on the other hand, are the interconnecting bridges that allow neurons to communicate with each other. When we learn something new, electrical signals are transmitted through these synapses, which in turn produce neurotransmitters responsible for the storage of memories
However, the process of memory formation is not just about having more synapses. It is also about the manner in which they are connected to one another. Different areas of the brain are responsible for various aspects of learning and memory. The hippocampus and frontal cortex, for instance, are involved in analyzing perceptions and deciding what information to store, while the amygdala plays a vital role in integrating emotions and memory. It is through the complex interplay of these different neural regions that memories are formed, stored, and retrieved.

How Memory Works

Memory is an intricate process that involves multiple stages. These stages are sensory, short-term, and long-term memory. Sensory memory is the first stage of memory that receives and processes fleeting impressions of your perceptions. It is responsible for holding raw information for a very short time, no more than a few seconds.
Short-term memory is the second stage of memory and is like a storage unit that holds about four chunks of information and lasts for 20-30 seconds. During this stage, the brain processes and stores the information currently in use, such as a phone number, an address, or a short message.
It is long-term memory that we tend to think of when we talk about memory. This stage is responsible for storing and retrieving information for an extended period. The long-term memory capacity is vast, and it is where the most important and meaningful memories are stored.
To move information from short-term to long-term memory, you need to use a technique called spaced repetition. This involves repeating what you're trying to retain over several days to strengthen the synaptic connections between neurons. However, it's not just about repetition - it's about encoding, storage, and retrieval processes. Encoding is the process of transforming information into a meaningful code that can be stored in memory, while storage is the process of retaining that information over time. Lastly, retrieval is the process of accessing stored information when needed.

Common Misconceptions about Learning and Memory

There are a number of myths and misconceptions surrounding the processes of learning and memory that can unfortunately hinder one's progress. One common misconception is that intelligence is a fixed trait and that one's memory or learning abilities cannot be improved. However, the reality is that anyone can improve their memory and learning skills through deliberate and consistent practice.
Another popular myth is the belief that taking breaks during learning or studying is a waste of time. However, in truth, taking breaks is an essential component of effective learning. When you take a break, your brain's diffuse mode works in the background, creating new neural connections and allowing you to see things from different perspectives, leading to better and more comprehensive learning.
By understanding the science behind learning and memory, one can approach the process of learning with a more positive mindset and focus on utilizing effective strategies. With the right techniques, anyone can learn new information deeply and quickly, making the process of learning a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. In addition, there are many tools and resources available to help one improve their learning and memory abilities, including mind mapping, mnemonic devices, spaced repetition, and more.

Techniques for Effective Learning

Now that we've busted some myths, it's time to explore some tried-and-true techniques for effective learning. These techniques involve taking advantage of the way our brains naturally process and store information. Let's dive in!

Recall

Recall is an effective strategy for improving memory retention because it strengthens the synaptic connections between neurons. Essentially, when you actively retrieve information from memory, you are exercising your brain and making it easier to retrieve the information in the future. This technique can be thought of as lifting weights for your brain, and just like with physical exercise, consistent practice is key.
To effectively use recall in your study routine, start by actively testing yourself on the material you are trying to learn. For example, if you are studying for a history exam, try to recall important dates and events without looking at your notes. This will help to exercise the neural pathways associated with that information and make it easier to remember in the future. Another effective technique is to use flashcards, which allow you to actively retrieve information from memory and test yourself on specific concepts or terms.
The reason why recall is so effective for improving memory retention is because it strengthens the synaptic connections between neurons. When you repeatedly retrieve information from memory, you are essentially reinforcing the neural pathways associated with that information. This makes it easier to retrieve the information in the future, because the pathways have been strengthened and the information is easier to access.
In addition to recall, there are other strategies that can improve memory retention. Spaced repetition is one such strategy, which involves repeating what you're trying to retain over several days to strengthen synaptic connections. Chunking is another strategy, which involves piecing together bits of information through meaning and usage. This allows you to tie meaning to a concept or idea and make it more memorable. By incorporating these techniques into your study routine, you can optimize your learning and retain information more effectively.

Spaced Repetition

Spaced repetition is a powerful technique that can be used to improve your ability to retain information. It involves repeating what you are trying to remember over several days to strengthen synaptic connections in your brain. The technique, much like watering a plant, requires the right amount of repetition at the right intervals to achieve optimal growth.
To effectively use spaced repetition, it is important to first create a schedule of when and how often to repeat the material. For example, if you are trying to memorize a list of vocabulary words in a foreign language, you might start by studying the words for a few minutes each day for a week. Then, you might repeat the list of words every other day for the next two weeks, and then once a week for the following month. This spaced repetition schedule allows for optimal growth of synaptic connections in your brain, improving your ability to retain the information.
Another example of spaced repetition in action is when learning to play a musical instrument. Instead of practicing for hours on end, it is often more effective to practice for shorter periods of time, with breaks in between to allow your brain to consolidate the new information. By spacing out your practice sessions and repeating the material over several days, you can improve your ability to retain the information and improve your overall skill level.
Spaced repetition works because it takes advantage of the brain's natural learning processes. When you learn something new, your brain creates new synapses between neurons to store the information. However, these synapses are relatively weak at first and can easily be forgotten. By repeating the material over several days, the synapses become stronger and more permanent, making it easier to recall the information later on. This technique also helps to prevent forgetting by refreshing the memory at regular intervals, further strengthening the synaptic connections in your brain.

Interleaving

Interleaving is a highly effective technique for learning and practicing skills or concepts. It involves mixing up different types of problems or materials, which can help you to better retain and apply the information. The key to effective interleaving is to ensure that you are constantly switching between different types of problems or materials in a way that allows your brain to make new connections between ideas and to think in a more flexible and adaptable way. This can lead to deeper understanding and more efficient learning.
For example, if you are trying to learn a new language, you might start by practicing basic vocabulary and grammar rules. However, instead of simply repeating the same exercises over and over again, you could try interleaving different types of exercises, such as practicing vocabulary, grammar, and reading comprehension in quick succession. This would force your brain to constantly switch between different types of problems, which would help you to better retain and apply the information.
Another example of interleaving is in sports training. Instead of performing the same drills over and over again, athletes can benefit from mixing up their training routine. For instance, a basketball player might practice shooting, dribbling, and passing in quick succession, rather than focusing on a single skill for an extended period of time. This would force the player to adjust to different types of challenges and think in a more flexible and adaptable way, which would ultimately improve their overall performance.
The reason why interleaving is so effective is that it forces your brain to constantly switch between different types of problems, which helps to build new neural connections and reinforce existing ones. By constantly challenging your brain to adapt to new situations, you are training it to be more flexible and adaptable, which can lead to deeper understanding and more efficient learning. Additionally, interleaving can help to prevent boredom and keep you engaged in the learning process, which can ultimately lead to better overall outcomes.

Mnemonics

Mnemonics are an effective memory aid that can help you remember information by creating associations between the information you want to remember and other things that you already know. This technique works because the brain is naturally wired to remember things that are meaningful and connected to other information.
One way to use mnemonics is to create a memorable sentence or acronym that represents a list of items. For example, to remember the colors of the rainbow in order, you can use the acronym ROYGBIV (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). Another way to use mnemonics is to create a memorable image that represents a concept. For example, to remember the difference between weather and climate, you can imagine a man holding an umbrella (weather) while standing next to a tree (climate).
To use mnemonics effectively, it's important to create associations that are vivid, meaningful, and easy to remember. You should also try to use mnemonics in a way that makes sense to you personally. For example, if you have a strong association between a particular food and a memory, you can use that food in your mnemonic to help you remember the information.
Overall, mnemonics are a powerful tool that can help you remember information more effectively. By creating associations between new information and things you already know, you can improve your memory and recall more easily.

Memory Palace

The Memory Palace technique is an excellent mnemonic strategy that can be utilized to improve memory. This technique involves creating a mental map of a familiar location, such as your home or workplace, and associating each item that you want to remember with a specific location in that place. By doing so, you can significantly improve your ability to remember things.
To effectively use this technique, start by selecting a location that you are familiar with and that has a specific structure, such as a house or a building. Next, imagine yourself walking through the location and identify specific objects or landmarks that stand out to you. For example, if you choose your apartment, you could associate the couch with the color red, the dining table with a vase of flowers, and the kitchen with the smell of coffee.
Once you have identified these landmarks, you can associate each item that you want to remember with a specific location in your mental map. For instance, if you want to remember a list of grocery items, you can associate each item with a specific location in your home. For example, you can associate apples with the fruit bowl on your kitchen counter, bread with the bread box on your kitchen shelf, and milk with the refrigerator in your kitchen. By doing so, when you need to recall the items, you can simply visualize your mental map of your home and recall the location of each item.
This technique is effective because it leverages the power of visualization and association. By associating each item with a specific location in your mental map, you create a visual and spatial representation of the information in your mind. This makes it easier for you to recall the information later because your brain has formed strong connections between the items and the locations. With practice, you can use this technique to remember even long lists of items, and impress your friends and colleagues with your newfound memory skills.

Chunking

Chunking is a technique for memorizing information by grouping it into smaller chunks, making it easier to remember. For example, if you need to memorize a phone number, you might chunk it into three groups of numbers, like 555-123-4567. This makes it easier to remember because it's easier to remember three smaller chunks than one long string of digits.
Another example of chunking is breaking down a larger concept into smaller, more manageable pieces. For instance, if you're trying to learn a new programming language, you might start by breaking it down into smaller components, such as syntax, data types, and control structures. Once you've mastered these smaller chunks, you can start piecing them together to gain a better understanding of the language as a whole.
Chunking is effective because it makes it easier for the brain to process and store information. When information is presented in smaller, more manageable chunks, it's easier for the brain to process and remember. Additionally, chunking helps to create meaningful connections between pieces of information, making it easier to recall them later.
To effectively use chunking, it's important to give the task your undivided attention and then find the overall big picture and key ideas. You can perform a quick picture walk-through of your material, and anything that stands out is usually important. You should then provide context for your ideas and concepts to know when to use them. Finally, you want to tie auditory hooks to your memory by speaking about it out loud with self-explanation.
Overall, chunking is a powerful technique for learning and memorization because it makes information more manageable and easier to process. By breaking down larger concepts into smaller, more manageable chunks, you can make it easier for your brain to process and store information, making it easier to recall later on.

Self-Explanation

Self-explanation is a powerful learning technique that can be used in a variety of contexts. One way to effectively use self-explanation is to ask "why" questions when encountering a new concept. For example, if you are learning about the concept of photosynthesis, you might ask yourself, "Why do plants need sunlight in order to produce energy?" By asking and answering these types of questions, you are actively engaging with the material and promoting the formation of new connections between ideas.
Another way to use self-explanation is to relate new concepts to what you already know. For example, if you are learning a new language and come across a new word, you might try to relate it to a word in your native language that has a similar meaning. This can help you remember the new word and also reinforce your understanding of the concept it represents.
Finally, self-explanation can be used to identify gaps in your understanding. For example, if you are reading a complex scientific article and come across a term or concept that you don't fully understand, you might try to explain it to yourself in your own words. If you can't explain it, that might be an indication that you need to go back and review the material or seek additional resources.
The reason why self-explanation is such an effective learning technique is that it encourages individuals to actively engage with the material and construct new knowledge by relating it to what they already know. By creating a dialogue with oneself, one is able to identify gaps in their understanding and clarify their thinking, leading to a more thorough and integrated understanding of the material. Essentially, self-explanation is like having a conversation with your own brain, which can be a powerful tool in the learning process.

Elaborative Interrogation

Elaborative interrogation is a powerful technique that can help you improve your learning process by asking yourself "why" questions and trying to come up with a detailed explanation. This process can be thought of as trying to be a detective in your own mind, where you are constantly trying to uncover new clues and piece together the information you already have. Here are a few examples of how to effectively use this technique:
​
This technique works because it forces you to engage with the material on a deeper level and make connections with other ideas. By asking yourself why something is true, you are actively processing the information and creating new neural connections. This process helps you to remember the information better and understand it more deeply. Furthermore, the process of elaborative interrogation helps to overcome illusions of understanding by exposing gaps in knowledge and highlighting areas that need further clarification.
Moreover, these techniques can make learning more effective and enjoyable. Whether you are trying to learn a new language, improve your math skills, or expand your knowledge, these techniques can help you achieve your goals. Not only do they allow you to think more critically and creatively, but they also stimulate your brain in new ways and encourage you to explore different perspectives and ideas.
So, if you haven't tried these techniques yet, give them a try! You might be surprised at how much they can improve your learning experience. Your brain will certainly thank you for it!

Beating Procrastination

Procrastination is a fascinating phenomenon that affects all of us in some way or another. It's like a monster that lurks inside our brains, always ready to pounce when we need to get something done. When we're faced with a task that we don't want to do, our brain associates it with pain, discomfort and stress. It's like our brain is telling us that this task is going to be hard and that we're going to have to work really hard to get it done. This is because the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for decision-making and cognitive control, is in charge of regulating behavior associated with goals. When faced with a difficult task, the prefrontal cortex sends signals to the amygdala, the part of the brain associated with emotion, to initiate a stress response. This stress response activates the release of cortisol, a hormone that is associated with the body's response to stress, and creates physical discomfort in our body. This discomfort is what we perceive as pain, and it's what makes procrastination so difficult to overcome.
To make matters worse, our brains are wired to seek pleasure and avoid pain. When we procrastinate, we turn to activities that give us immediate pleasure, like scrolling through social media or watching TV. These activities release dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward. Our brains then begin to associate procrastination with pleasure, making it even harder to overcome.
So, how can we beat procrastination?
To beat procrastination, it's important to understand the habit loop consisting of a cue, routine, reward, and belief. Once you have identified the cues and rewards that drive your procrastination habits, you can develop strategies to override them. For example, if the cue for procrastination is checking social media, you can remove the social media app from your phone or block it during certain times of the day. If the reward for procrastination is watching TV, you can reward yourself with an episode of your favorite show after completing a task.
This technique works because it helps to rewire the neural pathways associated with procrastination. By changing the cues and rewards, you can change the behavior associated with the habit. Additionally, by developing new habits and routines, you can strengthen the neural pathways associated with those behaviors, making them more automatic and easier to perform over time. With practice, you can learn to override the procrastination habit and develop more productive habits that help you achieve your goals.
The Pomodoro technique is a time management method that involves breaking work into 25-minute intervals, called "pomodoros," followed by a 5-minute break. After four pomodoros, take a longer break of around 15-30 minutes. However, it is important to note that you do not have to follow this exact timing and can adjust the intervals to fit your needs.
The Pomodoro technique works because it helps you stay focused and avoid distractions. By breaking work into manageable intervals, you are less likely to become overwhelmed or lose focus. Additionally, the breaks allow your brain to rest and recharge, making it easier to stay productive throughout the day.
To effectively use the Pomodoro technique, start by identifying the task you want to complete. Set a timer for 25 minutes and work on the task until the timer goes off. Take a 5-minute break, then repeat the process. After four pomodoros, take a longer break to recharge. It can also be helpful to track your progress and make adjustments as needed. If you find that 25-minute intervals are too long or too short, adjust the intervals to fit your needs.
Here are a few concrete examples of how to use the Pomodoro technique:
​
Overall, the Pomodoro technique is a simple but effective way to manage your time and stay focused on your work. Of course, you don’t have to follow 25/5 pomodoro. You can do 50/10, 45/15, etc. I wouldn’t recommend letting yourself study for more than one hour at a time however.
Journaling about your procrastination habits can help you identify triggers and develop strategies to overcome them. For example, if you find yourself procrastinating when faced with a difficult task, you could break it down into smaller, more manageable steps. By doing this, you can build momentum and gain a sense of accomplishment as you complete each step, which can help motivate you to continue working.
Time blocking is another effective technique for combating procrastination. To use this technique, you can break up your day into specific time slots and dedicate each slot to a specific task. For instance, you could block out two hours for writing a report, followed by a 30-minute break, then another two-hour block for responding to emails. This can help you stay focused and prevent distractions from derailing your progress. By scheduling specific tasks at specific times, you can create a sense of urgency and hold yourself accountable for completing them.
Both journaling and time blocking work by helping you stay organized and focused on your goals. By identifying the triggers that lead to procrastination and breaking your day into manageable tasks, you can avoid feeling overwhelmed and build the momentum you need to achieve your goals. Additionally, these techniques can help you develop a sense of control over your time and reduce the anxiety and stress that often accompany procrastination.
"Eat your frogs first" is a technique that involves tackling your most difficult or unpleasant task first thing in the morning when your willpower is at its strongest. This technique is effective because it helps to build momentum and make the rest of your day feel more manageable.
For example, if you have a project that you've been dreading, start your day by working on it for an hour or two. By doing so, you'll be able to make significant progress and feel a sense of accomplishment that will carry you through the rest of your day. Alternatively, if you have a difficult conversation that you've been putting off, schedule it for the beginning of your day when you're most alert and focused.
Another example of this technique in action is a writer who starts their day by writing their most challenging section first, such as the introduction or conclusion. By doing so, they build momentum and gain confidence that they can complete the rest of their work.
Overall, eating your frogs first is an effective technique because it helps you to break through procrastination and build momentum towards your goals. By tackling your most difficult or unpleasant task first, you'll be able to make progress and build confidence that will carry you through the rest of your day.
To effectively remove environmental triggers that lead to procrastination, you can take a few concrete steps. For example, if you find yourself constantly checking your phone when you should be studying, you can put your phone in another room or turn off notifications during your study sessions. Another example is to create a designated study space that is free from distractions, such as a library or a quiet room in your house. This can help you stay focused and avoid interruptions. Additionally, you can make your environment clean and organized by removing clutter and creating a clear workspace. This can help you feel more motivated and focused on your goals.
The reason this technique works is that it helps reduce the distractions that can lead to procrastination. By removing environmental triggers, you are creating an environment that is conducive to studying and learning. This can help you stay focused on your tasks and avoid the temptations that can derail your progress. Additionally, by creating a clean and organized workspace, you are signaling to your brain that it is time to focus and be productive. This can help you get into the right mindset for learning and studying.
In summary, beating procrastination is all about understanding the habit loop, pomodoro, identifying your triggers, and developing strategies to override them. By using techniques like journaling, time blocking, and eating your frogs first, you can stay focused and make progress towards your learning goals. So the next time you find yourself procrastinating, remember that you have the power to take control of your habits and achieve your dreams. Your brain will thank you for it!

Lifestyle Choices That Improve Memory

Now that we've covered some techniques for learning more deeply and efficiently, let's talk about some lifestyle choices that can help improve your memory even further. These tips are designed to help you take care of your brain and optimize its performance, so that you can learn and remember more effectively.

Exercise

Exercise has been shown to have numerous benefits for brain health and cognitive function, including improved memory. But how exactly does exercise help improve memory? One theory is that exercise increases blood flow and oxygen to the brain, which helps to nourish brain cells and promote the growth of new neurons. Additionally, exercise has been shown to increase the production of certain chemicals in the brain, such as brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is important for the growth and survival of neurons.
To effectively use exercise to improve memory, it's important to engage in cardiovascular exercise that gets your heart rate up and increases blood flow to the brain. This can include activities such as running, cycling, swimming, or brisk walking. It's also important to make exercise a regular part of your routine. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.
Finally, it's important to stay motivated and make exercise a fun and enjoyable part of your routine. Find activities that you enjoy and that you look forward to, and try to make exercise a social activity by finding a workout buddy or joining a group fitness class. By making exercise a regular and enjoyable part of your routine, you can reap the many benefits it has to offer for both your body and your brain.

Meditation

Meditation is a powerful tool for improving memory and cognitive function. This ancient practice has been used for centuries to help people calm their minds and improve their focus. Recent research has shown that meditation can actually change the structure of the brain, improving memory and attention span. To effectively use this technique, start by finding a quiet place where you won't be disturbed. Sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor, with your back straight and your eyes closed. Focus on your breath and try to clear your mind of all other thoughts. When your mind wanders, gently bring it back to your breath. Start with just a few minutes each day and gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable with the practice.
One reason why meditation can improve memory is that it helps reduce stress and anxiety, which are known to impair memory function. Additionally, meditation can increase the size of the hippocampus, the part of the brain that is critical for memory and learning. This can lead to better memory consolidation and recall.
To illustrate the effectiveness of meditation for memory improvement, a study conducted by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara found that participants who meditated for just 10 minutes a day for two weeks showed significant improvements in working memory and executive function compared to a control group. Another study published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease found that a mindfulness meditation program improved memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility in older adults with mild cognitive impairment.
In conclusion, meditation is a simple yet powerful technique for improving memory and cognitive function. By reducing stress and anxiety, increasing the size of the hippocampus, and improving memory consolidation and recall, meditation can help you reach your learning goals and achieve success.

Brain-Boosting Foods

Eating certain foods can promote brain health and improve memory. For example, blueberries are high in antioxidants that protect brain cells from damage and inflammation, while salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that support brain function and improve memory. Nuts, such as almonds and walnuts, contain vitamin E that helps prevent cognitive decline and enhance memory recall. Additionally, dark chocolate contains flavonoids that improve blood flow to the brain, which can boost cognitive function.
These brain-boosting foods work by providing essential nutrients that nourish the brain and promote the growth of new neurons. Antioxidants, for example, protect the brain from damage and inflammation caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can damage cells. Omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, are important for brain function and can improve memory by supporting the growth of new neurons and enhancing communication between brain cells. Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and can help prevent cognitive decline by protecting the brain from damage. Finally, flavonoids in dark chocolate can improve blood flow to the brain, which can boost cognitive function.
To effectively use this technique, it is important to incorporate brain-boosting foods into your diet regularly. Snack on a handful of almonds or blueberries, include salmon in your meals, and indulge in a square of dark chocolate every now and then. It is also important to maintain a balanced and healthy diet overall and to exercise regularly, as physical activity has been linked to improved brain function and memory.

Sleep

Getting enough sleep is crucial for memory consolidation and cognitive function. To effectively use this technique, it's important to establish a regular sleep schedule and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Avoiding caffeine and screens before bedtime and creating a relaxing sleep environment can also help you fall asleep more easily.
One concrete example of how to incorporate this technique into your routine is to set a specific bedtime and wake-up time, and stick to it every day. This will help regulate your body's internal clock and make it easier to fall asleep and wake up at the same time each day. Another example is to avoid stimulating activities before bedtime, such as watching TV or using electronic devices, which can interfere with your ability to fall asleep.
The reason why sleep is so important for memory consolidation is that during sleep, the brain processes and consolidates memories, making it easier to remember what you've learned and make connections between different pieces of information. Additionally, getting enough sleep can improve cognitive function, including attention, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities. In contrast, not getting enough sleep can lead to fatigue, poor memory retention, and decreased cognitive function.

Other Lifestyle Changes

Adding new activities to your routine can be a great way to improve your memory and cognitive function. In fact, there are numerous activities that can be beneficial for your brain health and cognitive abilities.
For example, playing chess is a popular activity that can help to improve your problem-solving skills and strategic thinking abilities. It is a game that requires you to think ahead and anticipate your opponent's moves, which can help to challenge your brain in new ways. Similarly, learning a new instrument can be a great way to challenge your brain and promote the growth of new neurons. It requires you to learn new skills, such as reading music, playing different chords, and developing your sense of rhythm. All of these skills can help to stimulate your brain and improve cognitive function.
In summary, by making some simple lifestyle changes, you can improve your memory and cognitive function. Exercise, meditation, brain-boosting foods, sleep, and other activities can all help to promote brain health and improve memory. So, take care of your brain, and it will take care of you!

2023.05.29 18:18 AdMental3475 CVC 21453, Los Angeles

Hello, I got a red-light camera ticket in the city of Los Angeles on Victory Blvd and De Soto Ave back in January of this year. I didn't make the full turn but I went pretty far into the crosswalk and backed up once I realized. However, the recording stops before I back up. The picture also shows my face but the caticket is under my sister's name. I also want to note that I did look up the ticket on lametro.photonotice.com 2 weeks ago though to see the recording. :/
I'm supposed to go to court next week (June 7th), but I've heard you can ignore red light cameras in LA? Can anyone back this claim up or give me their experience/opinion? I've never received any type of ticket before and am really worried I will get fined/it gets on my record/insurance raises.
I'm waiting to hear back from a ticket lawyer but is it common for them to win if I utilize them? Like better chances than if I went myself/did written declaration?
Please and thank you so much in advance!

2023.05.26 18:04 SalmaanQ Endgame Part 2 - Understanding Why and How

Continued from Part 1

Motive (as revised from this post)

Because I concluded early on that Adnan was involved in Hae’s murder, I did not dwell too much on motive until more recently. I understand the importance of motive for those having difficulty making that leap across the side-walk crack to accept Adnan being a killer. I totally get how Team Adnan's aggressive PR campaign expanded that crack into a chasm the size of the Snake River Canyon for those entrenched in their belief in Adnan’s innocence. Prepare to make the jump that Evel Kneivel could not.
There is a recurring theme among Hae and Adnan's circle of friends where Adnan would talk about how he and Hae were having sex all over the place. I mean, Adnan told everyone. Becky Walker said that Adnan would talk about sex with Hae after the break up, but Hae never corroborated, only implied (p. 28). Adnan boasted about his exploits to Peter Billingsly (p. 41). To Yasar Ali (p. 58). To Stephanie (p. 90). Even to the fucking tipster who called the cops on Feb. 12, 1999 (MPIA 459 824). The only person in Hae's circle who claims that Hae said that she and Adnan were having sex was Debbie Warren. The same Debbie who admitted to reaching out to Don via email after Hae disappeared. The same Debbie who admitted to spending 7 hours on the phone with Don (“Donny”) because she was “investigating” him as a murder suspect of her good friend. The same Debbie who, after learning Hae was murdered, took her investigation up a notch and went out alone with Donny during spring break. The same Debbie who probably would have broken into the police impound lot to drive off in the Sentra because she felt Hae would have wanted her to have that too. There is also an allegation in the investigating Detective’s notes wherein it states that Debbie was physically assaulted by Don. MPIA 1991. Funny how Debbie didn’t mention that in the HBO doc. Yeah, I’d say Debbie is among the least reliable people in this shitshow. And that’s saying a lot.
Adnan did not limit boasting of his sexual prowess to his classmates. He told one of Gutierrez's associates that he had sex with Hae up to 3 times a day, six days a week (A-0192). If Adnan and Hae were having that much sex, under a UV lamp her back seat, where none of Adnan’s genetic material was found, would have lit up like fucking Chernobyl. Also, having sex 18 times a week would have left Hae with no time to write in her diary. But she did and it paints a very different picture. There is no reference in the diary to Hae having sex with Adnan--actually it suggests the opposite. Her July 1, 1998 entry makes it pretty clear that there was not much going on physically between them and it appears that it was Adnan's inability to perform: Hae writes that Adnan told her, "You said that I can't fulfill you physically, well, you can't fulfill me emotionally." She went on to write that earlier that day, "Aisha said, 'Even if you don't have great [sic] sex life, at least you have a strong emotional relationship." Some may argue that Hae avoided including explicit details in her diary knowing that her kid brother had a history of reading it. Ok, but Hae writing about her unfulfilled sexual needs does not exactly look like her brother is her target audience.
As to my reference to Hae's Diary, if you feel a sense of righteous indignation percolating over a crass violation of her privacy, unplug the coffee machine--especially if you watched the HBO documentary. Were you equally offended by the liberal use of Hae's diary embellished with animations and a Hae voiceover? We need not even get into how the diary was cynically exploited to knowingly push a false narrative. Moving on...
Adnan was clearly insecure about his ability to perform, which is likely why he overcorrected by telling anyone who wasn’t wondering that he was a fuck-machine. The letter that, according to Ja’uan, Adnan had Asia transcribe even included the idiotic “playa playa!” reference. He couldn’t even stop from giving himself a sexual affirmation in his fabricated alibi. It continued through the Serial Podcast 15 years later with Rabia laying it on too thick with the “playa playa” bullshit. Add to that the ridiculous amount of love and attention that Hae threw at Adnan that helped prop up his fragile ego. If you have not done so and want to see what all-consuming, inexplicably excessive love and devotion looks like, check out Hae's diary. When Hae was into a guy, she was all in. I can see an insecure guy like Adnan feeding off that firehose of positive vibes. Needing those positive vibes. Hae’s crazy love was the fan that propped up the car dealership balloon man that was Adnan’s sexual identity. It fed the macho swagger image that he wanted to project.
Then in late December 1998, Hae "fuck fished" Adnan (you need to click the link to get my reference and I promise that you will not regret it). Many of Adnan’s supporters point to the fact that Adnan and Hae had broken up before, but in any of the previous breakups did she fuck fish him and focus her affections on another? No. After being the willing target of a love bombing campaign rivaling Dresden during WW2, Adnan's balloon man went limp upon Hae abruptly shutting off the fan. She redirected her bombing campaign to the Pacific theater and went Hiroshima on Don. For the record, that's keeping consistent with the WW2 analogy, not a crack on Hae's ethnicity conflating all Asians. Shit. Having said that, you must indulge me with a natural segue about conflating Asians that is relevant to this case.
While pretending to be desolated upon the news of Hae's body being discovered, Adnan started saying some pretty weird shit. While talking to his friend, Imran Hasnuddin, Adnan declared that he did not believe the dead body was Hae because “all Asians look alike.” Unlike most of us, Adnan's grief apparently has 6 stages. Between denial and anger, he demonstrates bizarre racism. Now it would be strange if this was reported by just Imran. The police record has at least five other witnesses reporting Adnan making similar statements. He said it to his gal pal Stephanie: “All Asian girls look alike. Don’t think it was her, it could be anyone.” He said it to Mr. Kramer, the Health teacher: “All Asian’s look alike. They have the wrong person.” He said it to the school nurse, Sharon Walts, to whom he took it up a notch: “It’s not her. All Asians look alike. All blacks look alike. They have it all wrong.” "Blacks" too, eh? That explains a lot. Adnan probably took false comfort in believing that Al Cowlings was driving him around on January 13 instead of Jay. The examples continue with Adnan's friend, Ja'uan: "All Asian girls look alike." And finally, he said it to his friend who accompanied him to the AT&T store, Peter Billingsly, but this time with a twist: "All Chinese look alike." Yeah, Hae was Korean, but taking exception with that error is like finding fault with someone for eating asparagus before they piss in your face. Anyway, back to Hae transferring her affections from Adnan to Don.
What was worse, Hae was telling everyone in the world--probably including Adnan--how crazy she was about Don and how he was the most wonderful guy in the history of male organisms and female orgasms. That would fuck someone like Adnan up. Having your ex dump you for someone else is one thing. "Fuck fishing" an insecure guy with issues of sexual inadequacy is igniting a powder keg. That alone could have pushed a guy like Adnan over the edge. But add to that the possibility that Adnan confided to Hae what Bilal did to him (possibly the subject of her May 7, 1998 diary entry referring to Adnan telling her a sexual secret about himself). Adnan's head: "What if she tells people of my inability to perform and why?" Bilal had his own thought bubble, "What if she tells people what I did to Adnan?" Hae Min Lee did not have a chance.
​

Bilal’s Plot - What Was SUPPOSED to Happen

Many of you will blow your collective tops at this next section. There are also those who reflexively shout “FAN FICTION” any time they encounter a perspective that challenges their world view. But even the fair-minded will be tempted to characterize what follows as fan fiction. It is not. I sincerely ask for your forbearance as you read this. It is the least citation-heavy part of this post. That is because it represents the conclusions that will be explained in the subsequent sections. The conclusions are not based on any single piece of evidence regarded in a vacuum. It is the totality of the evidence based on the actions of Adnan and Bilal, Bilal’s pattern of behavior, Jennifer Pusateri's recorded statement and the obvious and egregious falsification of evidence by the police and prosecutors--the combination of the prisms mentioned earlier. The amalgam of these factors will be discussed in detail and will give evidentiary weight to support the following narrative.
Bilal’s plot had two phases. In phase 1, Hae would be murdered as soon as possible after school with alibis being established immediately thereafter. The closer that first alibi witness could be confirmed after the murder, the less likely anyone would think that Adnan was involved. The remainder of the day would be dedicated to establishing supplemental alibis of Adnan being seen by others and doing things, like going to track practice or leading prayers of the boys group at the mosque—things that a person who just murdered someone would not do. In phase 2, having established Adnan’s alibis the previous day, focus would be turned to permanently disposing of Hae’s car and body before she was reported missing to the police.
Bilal’s plot required Adnan to have someone outside the circle of trust serve two important roles. First, the plot required a key alibi witness who could account for being with Adnan during most of time after which Hae was last seen alive. Second, it required a chauffeur to ferry Adnan to and from places where Adnan could establish supplemental alibis to bolster his innocence. Bilal’s MO is using people who are not too close. People like Jay or Asia. That is to circumvent any suspicion that the person is close enough to have a motivation to lie. For the primary alibi witness, however, Adnan also needed someone over whom he could exercise a degree of control. Someone he could compel to go along and do his bidding without asking too many questions. Jay was the perfect candidate.
Adnan preyed upon Jay’s very real fear of the police and the fact that they would violate Jay’s rights without provocation. Adnan likely threatened to turn in Jay for selling drugs if he did not do as Adnan asked on January 13, 1999. It is important to remember that sixteen years after Jay was enlisted to be Adnan’s chauffeur, Baltimore PD beat Freddie Gray to death for the crime of walking in his neighborhood. Yeah, Freddie ran when he saw the cops–probably because he was afraid that they would do what they did to him. Now give the cops the slightest cause like informing them that Jay sells drugs. It’s fair to say that Jay would be compelled to play along under such a threat.
Again, and I cannot overemphasize this, Jay was only supposed to be an alibi witness in Bilal’s elaborate plot. He was not supposed to know of the plan to murder Hae. He was not supposed to know that Adnan was anywhere near Hae’s car. He was definitely not supposed to see Hae’s dead body. Jay was to have no information that would connect Adnan to Hae’s murder. Bilal’s plan would not allow for it. All he was supposed to know was that if he failed to play ball on January 13, 1999, Adnan would drop a dime and Jay’s life would be over.
Adnan was admonished by Bilal that under no circumstances was he to use his new phone to call Bilal on the days surrounding January 13, 1999. If something went wrong with the plot and the cops started sniffing around Adnan, Bial didn’t want to be implicated or questioned. They likely went over last minute details in person during the night of January 12 when Adnan’s phone was pinging the tower by Bilal’s dental school. Adnan was supposed to call Hae that night to confirm that she would give him a ride after school.
During the morning of January 13, 1999, under the ruse of helping Jay buy a birthday gift for his girlfriend, Stephanie, Adnan left his car and recently activated phone with Jay. After school, Adnan got a ride from Hae by telling her some bullshit about his car being repaired. He likely asked her to drive him to a remote place where he said his car would be dropped off. At that remote location, Hae was murdered. It was NOT at the Best Buy parking lot. I know. Just bear with me for a bit. The explanations for why things unfolded will be explained in due course.
Hae’s car and body were left at the Interstate 70 Park N Ride at Security Blvd. Whether the murder took place there is neither known nor is it relevant. Adnan got a ride from an unknown third accomplice from the Park N Ride to the Best Buy at 1701 Belmont Ave. Under Bilal’s plan they could not risk Jay picking up Adnan from the Park N Ride where Jay might see Hae’s car. This was part of Bilal thinking ahead because once Hae was reported missing, there would be descriptions of her vehicle on the news. If Jay saw Adnan with Hae’s car, he could make an anonymous call. Jay was not supposed to see Hae’s car that day.
Upon arriving at the Best Buy, Adnan called his cell to have Jay pick him up. Jay arrived at the Best Buy giving Adnan his earliest Alibi for Jan. 13. Per Bilal’s instructions, Adnan would go to work at establishing supplemental alibis. First, Bilal thought it was necessary to bolster Jay’s status as a reliable alibi witness. I hope that no one will fault me for assuming that among Bilal’s least offenses was that he’s a racist. Bilal likely thought that the same reasons Jay was pliable—a black kid who sold weed—made him a weak alibi witness. Thus, Adnan needed to have someone back up the claim that he was with Jay at least as early as 3:30 PM. This was also the most important time point given how close it was to the murder. Adnan’s alibi that he was with Jay at about 3:30 PM had to be unimpeachable. Thus, when Jay arrived at the Best Buy, Adnan would immediately reclaim his phone and call Nisha. This is critical. After saying hi to Nisha, Adnan would hand the phone over to Jay and have him say hi to her too. Nisha never met Jay nor did she have any idea who he was. Trial Tr. 1/28/2000 at 189:25-190:17. This wasn’t Adnan playfully tossing his phone to Jay. It was deliberate. Per Bilal’s instruction, Adnan had to do this to give himself a corroborating alibi witness who could confirm that Adnan was with Jay at 3:32 PM. That was the purpose of the Nisha call.
Per Bilal’s plan, Adnan would then be dropped off at track practice (even though he was exempt because of Ramadan) to give himself more alibi witnesses. After track, Adnan would be picked up by Jay and taken to the apartment of people Jay knows who would make for additional alibi witnesses. People like Kristi Vinson, who was pursuing her graduate degree in social work at UMBC. From Kristi’s place, Adnan was supposed to drop Jay off at Gilston Park where he would meet Jen at around 6:30 PM. Trial Tr. 2/15/2000 at 187:18-25. Jay and Jen would often go to this park together to walk her dog. Jen would serve as another potential alibi witness. Adnan was to then head home to prepare to go to the mosque for taraweeh prayers. Bilal arranged to have Adnan lead prayers among the youth group of 20 boys and to also give a short talk that would be seen by the hundreds of congregants/alibi witnesses at the Islamic Society of Baltimore. End of phase 1.
Phase 2 was likely supposed to kick off early in the morning the next day. Because Bilal was operating under the fallacy that Hae’s family would have to wait 24 hours before reporting her missing, he thought his conspirators had at least until the afternoon of January 14, 1999 to properly dispose of Hae’s car and body. Dispose of them in a way that they would never be found.
That is actually not a bad plan. If it was executed as Bilal had intended, Hae’s murder would likely have remained a mystery. If Jay had been kept in the dark as intended by Bilal, Jay would have nothing to tell the police except that he picked up Adnan soon after school let out. If Jay remained an alibi witness for Adnan, the timing of Hae’s murder would not have been pinpointed to the critical window from when she left school at 2:15 PM and when she failed to pick up her cousins about an hour later. No one would have questioned Adnan’s whereabouts on January 13th on a minute-by-minute basis. Even if they did, Bilal’s plan had Adnan well insulated for almost the entire time after school doing things that one would not expect a 17-year-old to do if he had just committed murder. Had things gone according to plan, we would not be talking about this case today. Bilal’s plan gave Adnan more than enough cover to get away with murder. Of course, things did not play out according to Bilal’s carefully orchestrated plot.

What DID Happen - Jay's Status as Alibi Compromised

This part was the most difficult to piece together because of the multiple versions provided by Jay. There was his February 28 interview. His March 15th interview. His trial testimony. His interview 15 years later with The Intercept. Then there are other factors that give context to Jay’s statements like Jen and Kristi’s police interviews, the police progress reports, Adnan’s cell phone records, the distance between the locations where Jay and Adnan traveled, the pressure the police were applying to Jay, etc. to which deductive reasoning is applied and conclusions can be drawn.
The night of January 12, 1999, Adnan called Hae three times. No response during the first two calls. She picked up the third. She was in the midst of talking to Don (while writing Don’s name 127 times in her diary at pg. 66 of the pdf). She wanted to get back to Don on the other line with whom she was on the phone until 3 AM and likely asked Adnan if she could call him back. Adnan was thrown off by this and stumbled while trying to give Hae his cell number. Because he still didn’t have it memorized, he started giving her a number starting with a 410 area code--like his home number--out of habit. He caught himself and gave her the correct number with the 443 area code to his cell phone but did not tell her it was his cell phone. This is reflected in how Hae noted Adnan’s new cell number in her diary (starting with the incorrect area code) without any indication that it was his cell phone. This was the first major deviation from Bilal’s plan. Adnan was not supposed to give Hae his cell number. Now it was in her diary. That seemingly inconsequential act would later bite Adnan in the ass and cause Bilal’s plot to fall apart. More recently, Adnan turned his unintended act of giving Hae his cell number to his advantage by making it sound as though he was calling Hae specifically for that purpose. Hae did not call Adnan back because, as her diary indicates and police record corroborates, she had someone else on her mind.
The uninitiated might ask at this point, “well if Adnan wasn’t supposed to give out his number, why did he let other people in his circle of friends have it?” I’ll do that annoying thing of answering a question with a question: Of the people to whom Adnan gave his cell number, how many ended up dead on January 13, 1999? I said that Hae was not supposed to have Adnan’s cell number.
January 13, 1999 likely unfolded more or less according to Bilal’s plan described in the previous section. Except the cops did not adhere to the 24-hour missing person fallacy. Not all police departments follow that police and even those that do make exceptions. This was a reliable young woman who always picked up her cousins from school between 3-3:15 PM. When Hae failed to show up, her family called the cops who responded at 5:12 PM. This prompted Hae’s brother to get her diary and look for clues and the number of her new boyfriend, Don, to see if he knew her whereabouts. As we know, Hae’s brother called Adnan thinking the number written in the corner of the page was Don’s. Adcock, the officer responding to the missing person report, followed up with his own call to Adnan’s cell at 6:24 PM while Adnan sat on the floor of Kristi’s apartment being seen. That call caused Adnan to shit his pants. We know that Jen called Kristi’s apartment while Adnan and Jay were there. Trial Tr. 2/16/2000 at 211:3-213:13. We know that Kristi’s boyfriend, Jeff, told Jen that she was supposed to pick up Jay at Gilston park (aka Westview Recreation Area). Trial Tr. 2/15/2000 at 187:18-25. This plan was subsequently scrapped and is evidence that Adcock reaching Adnan on his new cell prompted Adnan to call the audible and deviate from Bilal’s plan.
Jay and Adnan left Kristi’s place and sat in Adnan’s car. Trial Tr. 2/16/2000 at 213:15 - 214:4. Adnan was feeling that the walls were closing in and freaking out. I asserted in previous posts that this is the point at which Adnan switched Jay from being a reluctant alibi witness to a shanghaied accessory after the fact. I no longer believe that is the case. It’s more likely that Adnan kept Jay in the dark about what had happened to Hae until the trunk of her Nissan was opened. While it is entirely possible that Adnan freaked out and spilled to Jay what he had done immediately after getting the call from Officer Adcock, the police investigation suggests otherwise. As desperate as Adnan was, he was carefully schooled by Bilal to give up as little incriminating information as possible. This can be inferred in part based on Jen’s February 27, 1999 statement to the police, which we will discuss in due course.
For what happened next, it is important to remember that this was 1999. Smartphones with GPS would not be a thing for at least a few years. These guys were not taking the most direct routes to their destinations and were operating in panic mode. They were taking the ways they knew. When they didn’t know, they relied on paper maps with palm prints on them.
Sitting in his car outside Kristi’s apartment, Adnan made the half-baked decision to dispose of Hae’s body asafp instead of waiting until the next morning per Bilal’s plan. He and Jay drove in Adnan’s car to Jay’s house to pick up digging tools. From Jay’s house, they took 695 to Security Blvd. That is not the most direct route to where Hae's car and body were located at the Park N Ride, but it’s the route that Adnan knew. He had taken Security Blvd. earlier that day from the Park N Ride to the Best Buy that is located near the highway exit. Upon exiting 695, Adnan called Yasar Ali’s cell to have him convey the message to Bilal that Adnan would not be able to be at the mosque to lead the youth group prayers that evening. That is the 6:59 PM ping at tower L651A. Immediately after that, Jay left a voice message to Jen’s pager scrapping the plan to meet at Gilston Park. That is the 7:00 PM call pinging the same tower. The close timing of the calls indicates that Jay and Adnan were together, likely in Adnan’s car heading to the Park N Ride.
Upon arriving at the Park N Ride, Adnan popped the trunk to Hae’s Sentra to load the digging materials. This is when Jay likely first saw Hae’s body in the trunk of her Nissan and was the first time Jay knew that Hae was dead. I know what Jay said in his 2014 interview in The Intercept. Some of what he said there adds up while some does not. As you will see in subsequent parts, Jay was compelled to change his story so many times under so many threats that he didn't know down from up. It was likely from this point at seeing Hae's body that Jay went from alibi witness to accessory after the fact. There was no flexing on Adnan's part. No, "I killed the bitch!" If anything, Adnan likely told Jay that he didn't know what happened to her. Adnan then instructed Jay to follow him in Adnan’s Honda. This is when Adnan likely reached for the map in Hae’s glove box and left his palm print. Adnan stopped about one mile from Hae’s burial site and told Jay to wait for him there. This is critical. Even though Adnan had abandoned Bilal’s ridiculously detailed plot, he was still trying to adhere to Bilal’s admonition to avoid disclosing incriminating evidence. If Jay didn’t know where the body was buried, he could not share that information with anyone else. I know that you’re thinking that I’m pulling this out of my ass, but consider the following. The day after the public received news of Hae’s body being discovered in Leakin Park, a witness reported to the police that he saw a young black male acting suspicious and hanging around the road near some concrete barriers at Leakin Park by a light colored vehicle (Adnan’s car looked like this. The police dismissed the witness's report at the time because the spot where the black kid was acting suspiciously was a mile from Hae’s burial site. Jay would later tell investigating detectives during his first recorded interview that he parked near some concrete barriers at Leakin Park when he was helping Adnan dispose of Hae’s body. MPIA 244-245.
While Adnan was doing a half-assed burial, Jen called Adnan’s cell because Jay’s message changing the plan to meet up was confusing to her. MPIA 174. Adnan did not toss his phone to Jay to speak with his buddy, Jen, the way he tossed his phone to Jay earlier that day to speak with Nisha who Jay did not know. Adnan told Jen that Jay would call her soon. He said that because Jay was probably not there. After finishing with the body, Adnan drove Hae’s car back to where he left Jay with his Honda. Adnan had Jay follow him down Edmondson Avenue where he had Jay stop and wait while Adnan drove a few blocks down and left Hae’s car at the lot by the 300 block of Edgewood Street. Again, following Bilal’s rules, Adnan was making sure that Jay did not know the precise location of Hae’s car. Adnan hoofed it back to Edmondson Ave where Jay was waiting in the Honda. Thus, Jay had, at best, a rough idea where Hae’s car could be found.
Jay would later tell the police that he happened to be in the area a few days before his February 28th interview and saw that Hae’s car was still there. MPIA 251. It is unlikely that Jay just “happened to be there.” He likely revisited the location to look around and see precisely where Adnan had ditched Hae’s car. That is how he was able to help the detectives locate the vehicle on February 28th.
Jay used Adnan’s phone to page Jen instructing her to pick him up at the Value City parking lot. Adnan dropped Jay off at the parking lot where Jen was waiting. Upon getting into Jen’s car, Jay did what almost any person who had just witnessed such a crime would do. He did what Bilal knew an unnecessary witness would do. He did what a person outside of Bilal and Adnan’s circle of trust would do. He told his good friend that Adnan Syed murdered Hae Min Lee.
​

The Police Investigation - "Good Cop" Part

Do we really need to explain why Jay did not immediately go to the cops? Being black, poor and having a history of negative encounters with cops should be enough. Add to that, the fact that Jay only had partial information. He knew Hae was murdered. He knew Adnan played a role. But he didn’t know the where, when or how. Even if he did, Jay would likely have not gone to the police. There is not much of an incentive to tell your story to people you expect will screw you. Jen did not go to the police either. According to Jen, Jay did not know where Hae’s body was buried nor did he know where her car was located. I used to think that this was Jay being careful by holding information back from Jen so that she would not have enough to go to the cops either. But neither Jay nor any other kid in his situation who was freaked out at what he had just experienced would be capable of being that calculating. Jay was not schooled in the art of criminal behavior by the likes of Bilal Ahmed. He was in no state of mind where he could carve out what he should tell Jen and what he should withhold. He dumped what he knew on her along with some of what he thought he knew. For example, because he picked up Adnan from the Best Buy, Jay incorrectly assumed that Adnan must have murdered her there. At any rate, Jay and Jen kept this huge secret from the cops although they both later admitted to telling a few others. Jay told his neighbor while Jen told a couple of her co-workers. It is important to note that according to Jen’s statement, Jay did not mention anything to her about Adnan saying that he planned to kill Hae or bragging afterward that he did it.
Because of their respective relationships with Hae, the cops questioned both Don and Adnan while it was still a missing persons case. Adnan did not do himself any favors by contradicting what he had told Adcock on January 13th about getting a ride from Hae. MPIA 814. Hae’s disappearance continued as a missing person’s case until February 9, 1999 when her body was found by Alonzo Sellers, an employee at Coppin State College. Sellers reported his discovery to the campus cops who then reported it to BCPD. Despite having done the right thing, Sellers was the first suspect upon whom the police focused their attention. His checkered past did not exactly cloak him in the shroud of innocence. In fact, Alonzo had a penchant for running around not shrouded in anything with multiple arrests for indecent exposure. MPIA 673-690 (not included in AdnanSyedWiki). Even if he was a model citizen, the cops would have given Sellers a close look and not just because he is black. It is common in cases like this for the cops to give scrutiny to the person who appears to be a good Samaritan reporting a crime. Some free advice to any innocent person who stumbles across a dead body: Save yourself a lot of grief and report it anonymously. If you're a murderer, please leave copies of your drivers license and social security number along with your fingerprints and blood samples at the crime scene and report the dead body in person at the police station.
The fact that the cops were treating Sellers as their primary suspect during the days following the discovery of Hae’s body was not disclosed to the public. There were no news stories about suspects or details about the investigation until Adnan’s arrest on February 28, 1999. Even Sellers’ name was not in the news. It was only reported as follows:
“Baltimore police said a man out walking found the grave, which was about 100 feet off Franklintown Road in the secluded West Baltimore park – about a mile from Woodlawn High.” Baltimore Sun, February 12, 1999, pg. 8C.
The police record shows that Sellers was given the third degree by the cops for almost two weeks. His work records were pulled and he was subjected to two polygraph tests. MPIA 661-672. The investigation of Sellers cuts against the idea that the police dedicated themselves to framing Adnan. That said, I would not put it past these cops to do such a thing, but they did not have enough information at the time to do so.
We know that Det. Massey received the anonymous call pointing the cops in Adnan’s direction one day after news of the discovery of Hae’s body was announced. Not being a linguist, Massey noted that the person on the phone sounded Asian. I’ll go out on a limb and say that Massey probably would not be able to distinguish the accent of Apu of the Simpsons from William Hung, the unfortunate contestant from American Idol. The caller suggested that the cops call Yasar Ali, the same person Adnan called at 6:59 PM on January 13th likely to convey the message that he would not be leading prayers that night at the mosque. As indicated in more detail in the Leaving Baltimore post, the tipster was probably part of the same boys group at the mosque mentored by Bilal Ahmed. The anonymous tip prompted the grand jury to subpoena Adnan’s cell records on February 16, 1999, which were received from AT&T the next day. Despite the tip, the focus of the investigation continued to be on Sellers until he was cleared on February 24, 1999 (the validity of polygraph tests is beyond the scope of this post). The police did, however, follow up on the tip by interviewing Yasar on February 15, 1999. Yasar didn’t give the cops anything to go on, but based on the calls made to Yasar in the cell records, you can be certain that he relayed to Adnan that he was hot. Adnan called Yasar on February 15th and four more times on February 17th.

Anyone involved in a car accident is likely to have questions afterward. Do I need an Atlanta car accident lawyer? Am I entitled to seek compensation? How do I file a claim with my insurance against the other driver?
Here at The Angell Law Firm in Atlanta, GA, we understand how serious car wrecks are. With years of experience under our belts, we are ready and willing to assist you in this time of need.
📷

We Can Help Atlanta Car Accident Victims

According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, about one-third of all car accidents result in some kind of injury. No matter the circumstances of your car accident, we are ready to assist in whatever way possible.
If you or a loved one is injured in a car crash due to someone else’s negligence, we can help protect your rights and seek compensation.

What is a Negligence Lawsuit Case?

A negligence lawsuit allows the plaintiff to recover damages intended to compensate for physical, emotional, and financial injuries. In this case, it’s a car accident caused by another person’s negligence. To bring a successful negligence lawsuit, the plaintiff’s attorney must be able to prove that the defendant:

A Motorist’s Duty to Other Drivers

Every driver on the road in Atlanta owes a duty to others to act reasonably behind the wheel to prevent accidents. A person driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs or sending or reading text messages has breached this universal duty. If that person causes an accident, they could be held liable for the injuries they caused.
It’s important to note that proving these elements of a car accident claim can be challenging. For this reason, it is in your best interest to hire an Atlanta car accident lawyer.

Types of Car Accident Cases We Handle

The term “car accident” can be somewhat misleading. It is a catchall phrase that often refers to multiple types of motor vehicle accidents. Our experienced team in Atlanta takes on cases involving:
📷

What Are Common Atlanta Car Accident Injuries?

Depending on the situation, car wrecks can cause a wide range of injuries. One issue many injured parties face is how long it takes to recognize the injuries. While some injuries are immediately noticeable, others take longer to show up.
Some common car accident injuries include:
Any or all of these injuries can significantly affect your life and livelihood. The majority of car crash injuries require a recovery period, either at home or in the hospital. During this time, it is often impossible to continue working and earning your income as normal.
That’s where we come in. Whether it’s working with your insurance to pay for medical bills, outpatient therapy, or lost wages, The Angell Law Firm is on your side.

Wrongful Death

In Georgia, if an automobile accident results in a fatality, the deceased’s spouse has the first claim. If there is no spouse, then the deceased’s children are eligible to file the lawsuit. From there, it goes to the victim’s parents, siblings, nieces or nephews, grandparents, and other descendants.
There are multiple types of damages that you can sue for with wrongful death. These include compensation for:
The money involved depends significantly on the situation and is meant to pay for funerary or burial expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. There must be significant proof that the responsible party caused both the death and was responsible for preventing it.
Sifting through endless paperwork and complicated statutes while you’re grieving is just another burden to bear. To navigate these complex legalities, we can help you seek compensation for your loved one’s death.
📷
One word – AMAZING!!!! I’m happy that I trusted the reviews on this firm and decided to select them to represent me in a car accident. It was my first time being injured, getting into an accident, even having to go to the ER, and the Angell Law Firm was empathetic to that and made sure I was informed throughout the entire process. Breanna was my case manager, always available when I needed to reach her, called me for updates – seriously just went above and beyond! And they awarded me more than I would’ve ever imagined possible. – Vanessa V

Where Do Car Accidents Occur in Atlanta?

As you might expect in a city of nearly 500,000 people, motor vehicle accidents are not uncommon. Although the city of Atlanta has taken many steps in recent years to make driving and walking safer, a combination of reckless behaviors and more people have made the roads dangerous.
While Atlanta has more than its fair share of car wrecks, some places are known to be more dangerous than others.
The Federal Highway Administration found that one-fifth of all fatal car accidents happen at an intersection, and two out of every five non-fatal accidents happen at intersections.
The intersections in Atlanta statistically proven to be the most dangerous are:
Of course, it’s not always possible to avoid significant intersections or highways. If you need to drive through them, be extra cautious and on the lookout for reckless driving.

Atlanta Accident Statistics

In 2018, Atlanta saw a drop in the number of collisions compared to the years before, but there were still nearly 50,000 reported to the county. In fact, despite the lockdown in 2020 for the majority of the year, Atlanta PD still recorded over 20,000 automobile accidents.
According to the Georgia Department of Transportation, in 2019, 1,507 people died on roads. Of those fatalities, 60% of them weren’t wearing seat belts. Additionally, only 16% were pedestrians, suggesting that most people killed were passengers and drivers in motor vehicles.
Three-quarters of car crash fatalities were found to be caused by unsafe driving. That includes:
Who Is to Blame After a Car Accident?
Legally, the blame for a car accident is assigned to someone known as the responsible party. The responsible party is the person or people who inadvertently caused the accident to happen. As the name implies, a car accident is technically an accident, and no one intended it.
Reckless behavior is known to lead to car crashes, so even if it was an accident, the responsible party still bears the blame. In Georgia, drivers legally have a responsibility to be cautious on the roads and avoid other vehicles.
The responsible party isn’t necessarily one person. Multiple people may be at fault for the accident. Sometimes, no one is at fault. Other times, the vehicle’s manufacturer is the responsible party.
In some cases, your negligence may be partly responsible for the accident. Even in those situations, you might still be eligible to seek compensation. Georgia law specifies modified comparative negligence in car accidents. If you are less than 50% responsible, you are still eligible to seek compensation.

Mass Tort Cases

If you and others are involved in motor vehicle accidents resulting from a product malfunctioning, you may all be entitled to compensation from the manufacturer for negligence.
Mass torts or class action cases are against the manufacturer under the assumption that the manufacturer had a responsibility to ensure the safety of their products before releasing them on the market.
Different types of product defects could cause injuries which include:
These cases can be complex and often involve a variety of plaintiffs against a single defendant with massive amounts of resources. That’s why it’s vital to hire an attorney with plenty of experience handling large class-action suits like The Angell Law Firm.

Do You Need a Car Accident Lawyer in Atlanta?

As is the case throughout the United States, you are not legally required to hire an attorney. You have the right and freedom to defend yourself in court and when filing claims. However, the benefits of legal counsel cannot be overstated, especially in a car accident case.
In the aftermath of a car crash, you deal with physical and emotional injuries. With an experienced Atlanta car accident lawyer on your side, you can focus on recovering while we focus on your claim. A lawyer provides invaluable experience with the legal processes, paperwork, and guidance along the way.
When you work with us, you’ll have help:
We have decades of experience with car accident cases and don’t charge any fees unless you win your case.

Get Evidence, Strengthen Your Claim

You can not recover compensation for your car accident injuries unless you have evidence that proves liability for the other party. You will also need to provide the insurance companies involved in the claim with evidence that clearly shows the extent of your injuries and the damages you have suffered due to these injuries.

At the Scene of the Car Accident

There is a variety of types of evidence you should collect following a car accident. This includes photographs of the vehicles involved and the surrounding scene. You should also obtain a copy of the official police report. On top of that, ask witnesses for their contact information before leaving the scene. Take photographs of any visible injuries you may have suffered in the crash.

After the Accident

After the car accident, be sure to hold onto any evidence you have acquired. This includes copies of any vehicle damage repair receipts, medical bills, doctor’s notes about your injuries, medical exam results, and lab results. The more evidence you have supporting your claim, the better. The more evidence, the more likely you will receive full and fair compensation.

Pursuing Compensation After a Car Accident in Atlanta

We take on the heavy lifting of filing a lawsuit against the responsible party in your car accident. Successful cases are when the responsible party compensates you for your losses.
Depending on the situation, these losses can range from lost wages to medical bills to property damage. Those are known as economic damages because they can be labeled and calculated to a precise number.
Another type of loss you can receive compensation for is known as non-economic damages. This might include emotional distress, disfigurement, or wrongful death cases. As the name implies, non-economic damages can’t be calculated or easily given a price.
Whatever you’re going through, The Angell Law Firm is here to aid you. We make visits to your home or your hospital room, depending on where you feel the most comfortable. Your comfort and recovery are our first priorities throughout the entirety of your case.

2023.05.19 01:41 Longjumping_Dance966 Have you gotten scammed by “dent repair” guys approaching you in public?

I’m so annoyed — fell for the easiest scam in the city.
I was approached by a guy at the manual car wash in Hollywood off Santa Monica Blvd.
He caught me off guard while I was cleaning my car and insisted on repairing a dent on my car. After being persistent and badgering me on price nonstop I finally relented.
In the end he walked away with $100 and me with more dents in the same area.
Is this common around here? I have a picture of the dude
Edit: Yes they’re gypsy. Black Mustang. I have a picture of the guy talking to me while I’m washing my car - I was completely caught off guard and didn’t have time to think. I should have known better.
Edit 2: Not beating myself up over it. Just trying to drive awareness here it was only a bit of money. I just needed to vent.
