![]() But shit simply doesn’t get finished like this. I love it there… engaging the muse (or muses) as I want, when I want. On a personal note, I have to bring in some digits if I ever want to make real progress, because I have a tendency to live in the timeless, creative cocoon of process and practice. So if you’re feeling stuck, or are just looking to improve your productivity, ask yourself the following two questions:ġ) What are the compelling and inspired visions that I have for this thing (whatever it is you’re working on)?Ģ) What are all the different numbers in place to ensure that I have structure (and motivation) to finish this thing? ![]() ♦ How people might (favorably) react and personally benefit from the bookĪll of these things involve the creative, visual, right-side of the brain…the heart of your inspiration, which is where most creative things emanate to begin with. ♦ What it will be like to promote the work publicly though any of a number of different mediums, and how it will feel to have your story or concepts out there in the world ♦ How it will feel in your hands upon completion… what the ink will smell like as you rifle through that initial copy ♦ What it might look like in its finished form (including size and dimension, cover art, and interior layout) To use our original example of a book, you could visualize… In these cases – since our left-brain is working well – it’s time to get back in touch with some inspiring visuals surrounding the process. And yet, the work itself might feel uninspired, lacking vibrancy and spark. On the other side of the fence, there could be times when our work ethic is high and we’re on a diligent, regimented schedule of engaging our respective creative activity. You would be stunned to know how many highly-creative folks implement scary amounts of left-brain process into their daily practice… especially writers. Like most creatives, I used to think it would, but that turns out to be a myth. In fact, anytime I’ve made my most serious strides with practicing drums – or actually finished a manuscript of some sort – it was because there were some real numbers attached to the process.īut won’t this kind of regimentation destroy the creative side of the process? ![]() ♦ Solidify the structure of the piece by creating a detailed outline, and/or deciding on number of chapters, page count, or any other “numerical” element of the workĪll of these ideas involve some kind of numbers, and this will automatically provide additional structure to the process and create some forward motion, guaranteed. ♦ Commit to working on the project for x-number of hours per day and record your progress with a stopwatch ♦ Challenge yourself with a certain daily quota of words or pages to complete each day ♦ Create a deadline for when it has to be finished When this happens, there’s an effective left-brain trick we can do to get us back into our whole-brain add digits (numbers) to the process. ![]() But even when the right-brain is fully firing and reasonably productive, we can still hit a wall and either not feel especially inspired with a project, or not be able to finish one. This part of the mind is steeped in the inspired, intuitive aspect of the process, and it’s generally the aspect of the brain we most associate with our creativity. ![]() Most of us think about the expansive, free-flowing right-brain when we think of a highly productive, creative output. Putting The Whole-Brain Power Concept Into Practiceįor a quick jump-start into the whole-brain experience, there is one fundamental element for each attribute of the brain that will really get things moving in that area if you’re stuck, or if you’re just looking to jack up your overall mental mo-jo. Here in part 2, let’s look at how we can actually use this stuff in the real life application of whole-brain thinking. In Super Mind Power Via Both Sides of Your Brain – Part 1, we talked about the two distinct aspects of the brain (left brain – more analytical, right brain – more creative) and how the development of both sides can benefit us greatly in all of our creative endeavors. ![]()

![]() A shihan is typically a very well-rounded person. ![]() Most shihan also have expertise in other areasīroadly speaking, a shihan’s mastery is seldom limited to one field – most shihan also have expertise in other areas such as music, arts & literature, sports, administration, academics, or other disciplines ending in -do, and are capable of developing strong, long-lasting relationships. A shihan, renshi is therefore a polished, technical expert who displays good character and therefore serves as a role model – both in practice and in disposition. The term renshi speaks to the character of the person ren (錬) means refined, trained, and polished and shi (士) refers to a man/woman, gentleman/lady, or samurai of high status. A shihan has command of the material and can apply that knowledge to innovate and lead. Shihan is an honorific title for expert, master, or senior martial arts instructors and is created using two Japanese characters: shi (師) meaning example or model and han (範) meaning master or exemplary practitioner. The Chinese have a saying: “If you meet a teacher on the road, forget what you are doing and follow him.” This speaks to the importance Eastern culture places on expert pedagogues. In Japan, the term “sensei” is sometimes used loosely 1 to address anyone who is skilled in the development transmission of knowledge but its significance should not be watered down. ![]() The term suggests that since someone already has travelled down the proverbial path, that person is well positioned to serve as a guide to those who follow. ![]() Sen (先) sei (生) literally translates as “one who has gone before” but figuratively (and practically), sensei means teacher. To answer that, let’s first look at what these terms mean: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The original Tamla 45 single for the Marvelettes' version credits "Dobbins/Garett/Brianbert" as the songwriters, and credits "Brianbert" as producer. Journalist Ben Fong-Torres credits the song to Holland, Bateman, Gorman, Dobbins and Garrett. Freddie Gorman, himself a Detroit postman and another songwriting partner of Holland (before Holland became part of the Holland–Dozier–Holland team) was also involved in the final reworking. Dobbins left the group after the audition and was replaced, Gordy renamed the group and hired "Brianbert" – Brian Holland and Robert Bateman's songwriting partnership – to rework the song yet again. Marvels original lead singer Georgia Dobbins needed an original song for their audition, and got a blues song from her friend William Garrett, which she then reworked for the group. In April 1961, the Marvelettes (then known as the Marvels) arranged an audition for Berry Gordy's Tamla label. Postman" has been covered several times, including by the British rock group the Beatles in 1963. ![]() Postman" became a number-one hit again in early 1975 when the Carpenters' cover of the song reached the top position of the Billboard Hot 100. The single achieved this position in late 1961 it hit number one on the R&B chart as well. It is the debut single by the Marvelettes for the Tamla ( Motown) label, notable as the first Motown song to reach the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart. Postman" is a song written by Georgia Dobbins, William Garrett, Freddie Gorman, Brian Holland and Robert Bateman.

This could be irritating to some players, but for someone like me who likes to live and learn in these worlds, I enjoyed the surprise of discovering something new. ![]() It took me several in-game weeks to realize that I could kick trees more than a few times for special goods and that a notification would pop up to tell me when the tree was out of items to drop. However, much like other farm-sim games, the onus is on the player to discover the finer points of My Time at Portia. The complexity of the minigames vary quite a bit too, so it was helpful that most of them have simple tutorials. The minigames are plentiful, and it was always a nice surprise to come across a new one. “When I wasn’t focused on building, I was participating in one of Portia’s unique holiday events and other activities that have some sort of minigame element, like for fishing, cooking, or taming a wild llama that I captured. I enjoyed this cycle not only because I found it to be rather relaxing, but also because the biggest assignments you’re given directly change the town. Then, once done, I’d submit those items for rewards, town favor, and money. I enjoyed pulling out a notepad to track just how many carbon steel bars I’d need to build an item. Sometimes you have to process goods several times before they’re finally made into the right component. They required me to process basic resources into different things before they could be used. Those aids were important as I received complex schematics to build even bigger and more important items. I appreciated that as things got more complicated, new tools and services would arrive not long after to help me grow as a builder. I would sometimes dedicate whole days to just gathering resources for my next big project, but as I progressed, I gained things like the chainsaw to collect resources faster. ![]() At first, gathering starts as simple as picking up stray wood and rock piles, but eventually escalates into cutting down massive trees with a chainsaw. After either mining for ore, collecting wood, fighting monsters, or gathering other basic materials, I’d add them together in a recipe to build an item. Building is your first priority in My Time at Portia, and the first commissions were designed well enough to help me establish a foundation in my routines for gathering resources. Instead, it let me explore everything at my own pace, though it heavily encourages players to start by accepting timed building assignments. Play Building the BasicsMy Time at Portia’s calendar has four months with several weeks each in a year, and the first few seasons serve as a solid tutorial –but even with so much to do in Portia, I didn’t felt like it was dragging me around to see every attraction. ![]() ![]() Verdict: QuickTime may not be a program you need every day, but it should be installed for those occasions when it is needed.

![]() ![]() That’s because “gummies are difficult to manufacture with precision,” Hultin explains. And, a company that tests supplements, reported that some gummy supplements, especially gummy multivitamins, don’t have the amounts of vitamins and minerals specified on their labels. That said, Hermes-DeSantis has noticed that in general, multivitamin gummies contain fewer types of vitamins and minerals than multivitamin tablets. A tablet might contain less vitamin C than a gummy of the same brand, but that may not matter so much if you already drink a glass of orange juice every morning. Consider your dietary intake of vitamins, too. Read the label to make sure a product will give you what you need, Hermes-DeSantis says. One might also contain more or less of a particular vitamin than the other. Be mindful of any supplements, protein powders, or other sources of fortified vitamins and minerals you may be also be taking, Hultin says.Īs far as whether multivitamin gummies are superior to tablets or capsules, Hermes-DeSantis says a direct comparison is tricky, since a tablet might contain vitamins that a gummy of the same brand doesn’t, or vice-versa. ![]() Consuming high doses of vitamins over a prolonged period can cause liver and kidney damage, and an excess of carotene can even give your skin and eyes a yellow hue. ![]() That’s especially true for fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins, A, D, E, and K, which present a greater danger of toxicity, Hermes-DeSantis says. You can definitely overdo a good thing, though, and vitamins are no exception. Vegans often need B12 supplements, for example. Hultin doesn’t often suggest multivitamins to her clients, but she does recommend individual vitamins and minerals based on their needs. A multivitamin is “probably more of an insurance policy.” Certain people - such as those with eating disorders or Crohn’s disease, or who are undergoing cancer treatment - do need to take multivitamins, says Seattle-based registered dietitian Ginger Hultin, spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and owner of the virtual practice ChampagneNutrition. If you’re eating a healthy, balanced diet, you can probably get all the vitamins you need from food. Hermes-DeSantis, clinical professor at the Rutgers Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy, tells Mic. Indeed, “there’s a debate in the medical community over whether are necessary,” Evelyn R. Sure, they taste good - but do gummy vitamins actually do anything? How do they stack up against old school tablets and capsules? I asked experts to help me investigate.įirst, I wanted to know whether we need vitamins, period. Apparently, I’m not the only one who finds them irresistible, as evidenced by the popularity of gummy vitamin brands like Olly, Hum, and Hello Bello, with their bright, Insta-worthy packaging and chewy, fruit-snack like morsels. My parents take them, and when I sampled one out of curiosity on a recent trip home, I had to stop myself from popping 10 more. ![]() ![]() ![]() According to KDOC, the Larned Correctional Mental Health facility is a 598 bed, multi custody programming facility which consists of the Central Unit, used to house 310 male residents, the West.
