![]() For example, there can be “mild”, warm but not competent out-groups (e.g. According to the SCM, out-groups can be placed on a continuum by virtue of their combined warmth and competence dimensions 60, 64, 65, 66. The SCM predicts that the warmth dimension weighs more in impression formation than the competence dimension 56, 60, 63. how (un)likeable someone is, and perceived competence, i.e. Deliberating over out-groups typically engages brain structures associated with accessing conceptual knowledge and stereotypical thinking 41, 42, 43, 44: the temporoparietal junction 45, 46, 47, 48 (TPJ), the anterior temporal lobes 49, 50, 51 (ATL), the dorsomedial frontal cortex 52, 53 (dmFC) and potentially the inferior frontal cortex 54 (IFC).Ī formal theoretical model of social cognition is the Stereotype Content Model (SCM), which states that we think and feel about others in terms of two orthogonal dimensions, perceived warmth, i.e. Unsurprisingly, deliberating over in-group members is associated with a brain network that is involved in self-referential processing 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40: the ventromedial prefrontal cortex extending into the anterior cingulate cortex (vmPFC/ACC) and the precuneus extending into the posterior cingulate cortex (PCUN/PCC). Although what determines in-group and out-group membership is flexible and highly contextual 30, 33, people perceive in-group and out-group members as part of different entities with respect to one or more attributes 32. To pursue this research aim and inform our hypotheses, we considered the neuroimaging literature on person perception and social cognition.Ī hallmark of social cognition is that individuals think differently about in-group and out-group members 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32. The primary focus of the current study was to investigate the neural correlates of group membership-driven optimism biases. optimism manifested towards people that we like and feel close to, very little is known about how the brain gives rise to this phenomenon 18. Despite a modest body of behavioural research on social optimism bias, i.e. Specifically, we expect that the future holds significantly more desirable than undesirable outcomes for ourselves and those we identify with 26. Through various motivational 20, 21 and cognitive mechanisms 22, 23, we manifest an optimism bias whenever we think about our future and the future of those close to us 4, 8, 10, 11, 13 but not of acquaintances or dissimilar others 8, 11, 14, 24, 25. The way we assess the likelihood of future events in the general population is different from how we assess it for ourselves 4, 5, 6, for those close to us 7, 8, 9, 10, and for in-group 11, 12 and out-group members 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. At the core of these skills lies the capacity to gauge the likelihood of future events 1, 2, 3. Human minds are highly capable of solving problems at hand, anticipating prospective issues and benefits, and planning accordingly. We discuss these neuroimaging findings with respect to their putative cognitive functions. Evaluating the cold-incompetent out-group additionally recruited the anterior insula, inferior frontal cortex and dorsomedial frontal cortex. Thinking about the cold out-groups recruited the right anterior temporal lobe, and temporoparietal junction. These findings suggest different underlying cognitive mechanisms of social optimism bias for these groups, despite similar behavioural patterns. In line with our hypotheses, evaluating the in-group recruited the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and the precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex, whereas evaluating the warm out-group engaged the posterior insula, mid cingulate cortex, and somatosensory cortices. For all groups, scores of social optimism bias correlated with the brain activity in structures that respondents differentially engaged depending on the target social group. We found a strong social optimism bias for the in-group and the warm out-group and an inverted pattern for the cold-incompetent out-group. In this study, respondents estimated the likelihood of future desirable and undesirable outcomes for an in-group and three out-groups: warm-incompetent, cold-competent, and cold-incompetent. However, it remains unknown how the brain generates this social optimism bias. expecting the future to hold more desirable than undesirable outcomes, also extends to people that we like or admire. ![]()

In addition, an analysis of roofing successes and failures in the aftermath of a high wind event provides valuable lessons learned in approaching the next tornado and hurricane season. As well, this knowledge is valuable to the specifiers when creating the project specifications. By understanding these tried-and-true wind resistance tests and standards, and better visualizing how high winds can impact product performance, architects will be much better informed when designing metal roof systems. The key to success is in the details regardless of the material type/product.”īut before a commercial roofing project reaches the installation stage, architects are strongly advised to ensure that the metal roofing systems they select meet several key testing protocols. AIA, CSI, CCCA, LEED Green Associate, a senior associate and architect with Michael Baker International’s Tampa location, stated, “If designed and installed properly, then metal roofs perform well in Florida. #Fabral metal roofs professional#While high-quality metal roofing systems have been engineered to deliver enhanced durability and longevity, their performance is ultimately dependent on professional installation by roofing experts who are familiar with these systems and committed to following the manufacturer’s installation instructions. ![]() Underwriters Laboratories (UL) 580 tests and assigns a category based upon the roof deckĪnd coverings’ level of uplift resistance. “Out of all the roofing types that are out there, you have got the best chance of survival with a properly installed metal roof,” stated Jim Bush, Metal Construction Association Chairman (MCA) and a member of the Roofing Industry Committee on Weather Issues (RICOWI) wind investigation teams. Consequently, many metal roofs are rated up to 150 miles per hour-the equivalent of a major Category 4 hurricane and an F2 tornado. In the event that some wind manages to get in between the metal covering and the underlayment, metal’s ability to breathe and expand enables it to endure a high level of wind pressure. With larger interlocking panels, and fewer seams and overlaps than other roofing systems, there is less opportunity for the wind to penetrate. Says the Metal Roofing Alliance, “Metal roofing is in high demand in hurricane-prone regions, due to its exceptionally long-lasting durability and protection against heavy rain, hailstones, and hurricane force winds.” “Because roof covering damage has historically been the most frequent and costly type of wind damage, special attention needs to be given to roof system design,” said Tom Smith, AIA, TLSmith Consulting in the National Institute of Building Sciences Whole Building Design Guide’s (WBDG) “Wind Safety of the Building Envelope.”įrom the assorted materials and systems available on the market, high-quality metal roofing is arguably one of the best choices for protection from high winds. documented a record of seven tropical cyclones and 13 severe storms.Ĭausing death, injury, and unprecedented property damage, the 2020 billion-dollar disaster report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Centers for Environmental Information documents an astounding $1.3 trillion in damages from storms and cyclones since 1980.įor buildings, the first line of defense against these intense forces of nature is the roofing system.

![]() It was made clear from the outset that these were very special commando units and their selection and training was geared toward being able to accomplish virtually superhuman feats of espionage and subterfuge to make military operations more successful. All recruits had significant experience in survival and harsh conditions so the recruitment included lumberjacks, forest rangers and veterans of World War II who had distinguished themselves in difficult combat situations. The recruitment requirements for these commandos were highly particular. Their mission was to conduct commando operations as part of the World War II military effort. Frederick organized a very special 1800 man unit called the 1st Special Service Force which was made up of a combination of Canadian and American forces. On July 9, 1942, Lieutenant Colonel Robert T. While those are fictional movies, it is true that a very special unit of commandos was organized in World War II that became the origins of what we now know as the special forces units of our armed services. Even in the movies, the kind of soldier’s solider we think of brings up images of Rambo or the famous World War II movie, The Dirty Dozen. Not only are special forces like the famous Delta Force fierce in combat, they can penetrate the enemy virtually without notice and accomplish the near impossible with a minimal of equipment or support. It takes a soldier’s soldier to be part of this kind of elite fighting machine. Many times it is the special forces that military intelligence sends into a potential combat situation to perform the undercover spy work or execute a commando raid to soften the target in preparation for the larger military operations to come. While special forces operate with some degree of secrecy, their reputation as being the force that can go into an unwinnable situation and win it is legendary. The next morning at first light, a cadre sergeant took me back to the patrol base in a jeep where I quite quickly found my gas mask perfectly poised beside the mound that was my buried cat hole.When discussions come up about military operations overseas, if you hear that they are sending in the “special forces”, you know what that means.

In 1964, the Northern Irish physicist John Bell proposed a theoretical way to measure whether there were in fact hidden variables inside quantum particles. In 1935 he dismissed this element of quantum entanglement - called nonlocality - as "spooky action at a distance."Įinstein instead believed that "hidden variables" that instructed the particles what state to take must be at play, placing him at odds with his great friend but intellectual adversary Niels Bohr, a founding father of quantum theory. The fact that this occurred instantly contradicted Einstein's theory of relativity which held that nothing - including information - can travel faster than the speed of light.

This piece becomes increasingly personal as the list continues, and while the list describes visually ugly/beautiful things, it also describes things that are beautiful in a larger sense: birth, life, even death. For example, the first item in the list is: “A river in winter with ice floes jammed violently against one another you can see dark water in between the white and grey floes, sparkling in the sunshine.” In this sentence, there are “troubling” connotations in “jammed violently,” but then there are pleasing connotations in “sparkling in the sunshine.”Īnother item later on in the list reads: “The green and blue and red guts of a chicken as you pull them out, like steaming ribbons, on a fall afternoon when you are processing your flock.” One would likely expect chicken guts to be…kind of gross, but the writer uses a surprising description that reveals her perception of the image, as one of beauty. The writer’s clever choice of titles creates an inherent contrast between ugliness and beauty, inviting tension into the piece.
