In Nicholas Carrs article Cognitive Load he theorizes that the brain can only retain so much information before it becomes too much. Carr infers that everyone has a mental capacity and once it is expended trying to learn more information becomes pointless. Carr calls this cognitive overload‚ when the brain exceeds the capacity of working memory. However‚ Carr says that cognitive overload is manageable once we become aware of how it works and how to compensate for it. I do believe everyone could have

Roof Dead Load (D) along roof slope Convert D to load on a horizontal plane: = 2.0 psf = 1.1 psf = 1.4 psf = 2.75 psf = 2.5 psf = 9.75 psf Roof slope = 3:12 Hypotenuse = (9 + 144)½ = 12.37 Don horizontal plane = (9.75 psf) (12.37/12) = 10.1 psf [NOTE that this does not include an allowance for weight of re-roofing over existing roof. For each additional layer of shingles add 2.0 psf along roof slope‚ or (2.0 psf)(12.37/12)=2.1 psf on horizontal plane.] b) Wall Dead Load: Stucco
