Psychology Related to Anger

The cerebral cortex (cortex) is the thinking part of the brain where logic and judgment reside. It is the outer portion of the brain and is divided into lobes. Think of the cortex as the strategy center of the brain.
The emotional center of the brain is the limbic system . It is located lower in the brain and is considered to be more rimitive than the cortex.

When someone gets angry, OR feel any other emotion then the emotional center of the brain get active instead of the thinking part.
Within the limbic system is a small structure called the amygdala, a storehouse for emotional memories. It is also the area of the brain responsible for our “fight or flight” reactions, our natural survival instincts.
The data coming in from the world around us passes through the amygdala where the decision is made whether to send the data to the limbic or cortex area of the brain. If the incoming data triggers enough of an emotional charge, the amygdala can override the cortex, which means the data will be sent to the limbic system causing the person to react using the lower part of the brain.
During an overriding event, the amygdala goes into action without much regard for the consequences (since this area of the brain is not involved in judging, thinking, or evaluating). This reactive incident has come to be known as an amygdala hijacking.
Get ready for the hormones
When the amygdala is hijacked, a flood of hormones are released that cause physical and emotional alarm.  A surge of energy follows, preparing the person for the fight or flight response. The impact of this hormonal flush last for several minutes during which time the person is usually out of control and may say or do things he or she will later regret, when the thinking part of the brain reengages. Further, an additional longer-lasting hormone is released., and its impact can last for several hours to several days.

Image Search Engine Using Python

Images provide a lot more information than audio or text. Image processing is the prime field of research for robotics as well as search engines. In this article we will explore the concept of finding similarity between digital images using python. Then we will use our program to find top 10 search results inside a dataset of images for a given picture. It won't be as good as google's search engine because of the technique we will be using to find similarity between images. But what we are going to make will be pretty cool. So lets start. Setting up the Environment Our Algorithm How the code looks Lets build the GUI Additional Techniques Setting up the Environment The code we are going to write requires a few tools which we need to install first. I will try to be as precise as i can and if you get stuck into installing some tool then you can drop a comment below and i will help you sort out the problem. So here are the tools and the steps to install

Understanding Python Decorators

If you have ever wondered what those @something mean above a python function or method then you are going to have your answers now. This @something line of code is actually called a decorator. I have red from various articles about them but some of them were not able to clarify the concept of a decorator and what we can achieve with them. So in this post we'll learn a lot about python decorators. Here is a list of topics we'll be covering. What is python decorator Understanding the concept Multiple decorators on same function class method decorator Where can we use decorators What is python decorator A python decorator is nothing but a function which accepts your given function as a parameter and returns a replacement function. So its like something this def decorator(your_func): def replacement(your_func_args): #do some other work return replacement @decorator your_func(your_func_args): #your_func code Now when your_func gets called then

Cordova viewport problem solved

Include the viewport settings in Cordova If you are facing the auto zooming problem of cordova then go read on the full article. Cordova actually ignores the viewport meta tag which causes the pixel density problem. So we need to tell cordova that viewport tag is equally important as other tags. To do this, we need to add some code to a file which is specify in the article. Corodva messes with pixels If you are using the latest cordova version or creating the cordova app for latest android versions then you may have faced the zoom malfunctioning.I also faced it when creating an app. Many of you may have already searched the web and found the answer of changing the meta tag attributes to get it working. But adding target-densitydpi=medium-dpi does not solve the problem for latest android versions. It may work for gingerbread but not for kitkat and others. So the final solution which i found was one of the stackexchange answer but rarely found. So i am gonna two things here, i
