Learned helplessness manifests itself in phrases like, “I can’t”, “It’s too hard”, and “Why bother.” It tempts a person to give up taking positive action to improve ones quality of life. Spiritually, practicing learned helpless prevents holiness. Think of what would have happened if Sts. Ignatius Loyola, Francis of Assisi, and Teresa of Calcutta gave in to learned helplessness after experiencing failures. We often hear the phrase, “to do the will of God” and “turn it over to God.” For some this brings peace and the internal strength to make decisions that promote health, goodness, and charity.", "Martin Seligman and his colleagues coined the term learned helplessness in the late 1960s. They had observed that laboratory animals subjected to various ordeals from which they could not escape lost the will to help themselves even when escape became possible. You believe your actions are largely futile, and you've little real power to change your situation. Learned helplessness is a condition of resignation. You feel like you've been banging your head against a brick wall, and there's simply no point in trying any further.", "Most of the dogs who had been unable to escape the previous shocks did not even try to escape despite having the option to do so in the new experiment. Seligman coined the term Learned Helplessness to describe the condition of the dogs who failed to escape even when escape was possible.

Beta in this context is calculated as the covariance of the portfolio's returns with its benchmark's returns, divided by the variance of the benchmark's returns. The letter beta was derived from the Phoenician letter beth. The letter β had the largest number of highly divergent local forms.

The viscosity is related to the molecular weight and is strongly dependent on the concentration. Lyly et al. (2004) observed that with an oat β-glucan preparation of high-molecular weight (average MW = ca. 2,000,000), the maximum practicable concentration of β-glucan in a soup was 0.5 wt% (weight percent).", "In nuclear physics, beta decay (β -decay) is a type of radioactive decay in which a proton is transformed into a neutron, or vice versa, inside an atomic nucleus. This process allows the atom to move closer to the optimal ratio of protons and neutrons. In β+ decay, or positron emission, the weak interaction converts an atomic nucleus into a nucleus with atomic number decreased by one, while emitting a positron (e+) and an electron neutrino (ν e).", "General Pharmacology. Beta-adrenoceptor agonists (β-agonists) bind to β-receptors on cardiac and smooth muscle tissues. They also have important actions in other tissues, especially bronchial smooth muscle (relaxation), the liver (stimulate glycogenolysis) and kidneys (stimulate renin release). Therefore, β-agonists mimic the actions of sympathetic adrenergic stimulation acting through β-adrenoceptors. Overall, the effect of β-agonists is cardiac stimulation (increased heart rate, contractility, conduction velocity, relaxation) and systemic vasodilation.", "In contrast to β − decay, β + decay is accompanied by the emission of an electron neutrino and a positron. β + decay also results in nuclear transmutation, with the resulting element having an atomic number that is decreased by one. In β+ decay, or positron emission, the weak interaction converts an atomic nucleus into a nucleus with atomic number decreased by one, while emitting a positron (e+) and an electron neutrino (ν e).", "β (beta) of a transistor is the gain or amplification factor of a transistor. It is the factor by which current is amplified in the circuit. So if a transistor has a β of 100, the base current that goes into it is amplified by 100.
