![]() This quick exercise takes just three minutes to do, making it realistic for those busy, busy days. Sound like a welcome mental break? Below are seven basic, beginner-friendly ways to become more mindful. “Our mind unclutters itself from all the noise for a little bit,” she adds. Put another way, mindfulness allows you to disconnect from your thoughts about a particular situation and “just be,” says Dr. However, when you practice mindfulness, you’re training your brain to focus more on the present moment, she explains. Vieten says that, for many people, most stress comes from thoughts about the past and worries about the future it rarely stems from things that are happening right now. ![]() Specifically, she says, these mentally distressing states tend to occur when you overconnect and identify with negative thoughts, causing you to treat them as reality. Urgola echoes this concept, noting that stress and anxiety are often related to the way you think about a situation rather than the situation itself. The mental well-being effects of mindfulness can largely be traced back to the way it helps you navigate stressors, Cassandra Vieten, PhD, licensed clinical psychologist and executive director of the University of California San Diego Center for Mindfulness, tells SELF. However, it doesn’t need to be that at all (unless that’s your jam, of course) you can still experience the mental health benefits of mindfulness using super simple techniques, Dr. “Some have the misconception that mindfulness means they need to sit cross-legged, eyes closed, and ready to commit to at least 10 to 15 minutes,” Hemisha Patel Urgola, PsyD, a licensed clinical psychologist at Princeton University and the founder of the Mindful Practice, tells SELF. That’s totally okay, because the beauty of mindfulness is that you can apply it in small ways throughout daily life. But let’s be real: Not everyone has the time (or desire) to pencil in a formal meditation practice. You might have even tried your fair share of mindfulness meditations with the help of an app, a guided video session, or your smartphone’s timer. If you’ve got a pulse on the wellness world, you’ve likely heard about mindfulness exercises-a term that captures various techniques for bringing your attention to the present moment. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Like the music of the instrument that holds the story together, Us Conductors has a voice that is entirely its own. ![]() The elegance with which Michaels handles his story makes for a debut that is charming, amusing, often deeply affecting - and atmospherically and thematically reminiscent of Vladimir Nabokov's Bend Sinister, a novel that sometimes seems to be concerned with the perversions of political tyranny, but is in fact occupied, as Nabokov put it, with the beating of a loving heart.īut to draw this comparison is not to suggest that Michaels's work is in any way derivative. Set eight years after the opening section, it shows us Leon as a victim of Stalin’s rule, exiled to a Siberian gulag, consigned to Marenko prison, sustained only by his love for Clara and her exquisite playing of the theremin. Michaels is able to sustain this combination of restraint and exuberance in even the second part of the novel, the subject matter of which invites hyperbole but seldom succumbs to it. Accordingly, when Leon thinks back to “a winter night, one of those chill evenings when your vision is interrupted by 10,000 wild snowflakes”, the precision of the word “wild” causes the entire sentence to ignite. At that instant I became an object moving towards you.”Įlsewhere, Michaels brings Leon’s recollections to life with exquisite deployment of unexpected - and unexpectedly electrifying - adjectives. With my bare hands, I have killed one man. I am a sound being sounded, music being made, blood, salt and water manipulated into air. As he says in an early address to Clara (lapsing for a moment into the third person): “But Lev Sergeyvich Termen is not the voice of the ether. Leon, for example, is wonderfully vivid: full of quiddity, foible, candour and a tendency to self-mythologise. These reflections account for most of the first half of the novel, and feature moments of highly appealing writing. In this section of the book Leon - equipped only with “a typewriter, just paper and ink, just this story to set down” - reflects on his early scientific endeavours as a student in Russia on his youthful involvement in Bolshevism on his life in New York and on Clara, his great love, whom he met in New York and whom he helped to become one of the most promising theremin players of her day. He has been in the United States for 11 years, having moved there to find a new audience for his beloved theremin - the instrument that, as he describes it, "never strains or falters. We first encounter Leon in 1938, locked in a cabin on board a ship called the Stary Bolshevik, "plunging from New York back to Russia". As Leon puts it towards the end of the novel: “Sometimes I am writing you a letter, Clara, and other times I am just writing, pushing type into paper, making something of my years.” It is to Clara - a version of the Lithuanian theremin-player, Clara Rockmore, and Leon’s “one true love” - that the book is addressed, though the mode of address is shifting. It could also have been called a clara, after its greatest player." The instrument that is now known as a theremin could as easily have been called a leon, a lyova, a sergeyvich. "I was Leon Termen before I was Dr Theremin," he says at the opening of the novel, "and before I was Leon, I was Lev Sergeyvich. Us Conductors is ostensibly a fictionalised account of the life of the Russian scientist, Leon Termen, and his invention (in 1920) of the theremin. Since founding that site, Michaels has continued to write on this subject for a variety of newspapers and magazines (in 2015 he was appointed music columnist for Toronto's Globe & Mail), and he has now devoted a lengthy, inventive and seductive novel to the same subject. He first began to explore this interest when he founded the music blog "Said the Gramophone" in 2003. Sean Michaels has been writing about the affective force of music for most of his career. ![]() ![]() This method can be used to concentrate more on to Main Storyline, by avoiding some sidequests if you want to.

What about choosing the letter of the first name of the person you want to give a gift to and adding their full name on the topper, or use them to spell out words like BABY for a baby shower, or XOXO for Valentine’s Day. That being said, there are many other uses for these boxes. These activities incorporate hands-on learning with letter-themed fun ABC Printable Packs Skills a child will work on within each activity pack: Alphabet letter recognition repetition and visually seeing the alphabet letter through different games, worksheets, and activities.

In Boxes & Bags / Cutting Collections / Occasions / Projects / School by meheidie ![]() ![]() Just simply wipe it on with a generous amount, allowing it to fill in any nooks and crannies. This time I did a glazing wiping it all over and then wiping it off with a cotton cloth leaving a little behind here and there – all the while giving it a that luscious green color cast. In order to do that, I took a minty green paint and thinned it like the gray paint earlier. My end idea was to get an in-process copper aging, not a completely green color. That extra bit really gave it a true aging look. Tapping it lightly with a rag so the drops didn’t look round. Once that coat dried, I dipped my gloved fingers back into the thinned gray paint and flicked splotches all over in a random manner. I pounced all over and under the awning and window box, making it as random as possible, and darker in some places than others. So, in order to achieve that look, I took dark gray paint and thinned it with a little water, then took an old t-shirt rag and dipped it in. Most aged copper not only has that awesome bluish-green cast to it, but it also gets a dark mottling or splotchy marks. NEXT STEPSĪfter 3 coats (which took 3 full cans to do both awning top & underside + flower box), allowing for drying time in between, I was ready for the next step.

![]() ![]() The background score in the game is also pretty good and worth putting on headphones for. The characters in the game have a boxy, low polygon look to them but that’s fine considering they are supposedly made from paper. Graphics and SoundĪs mentioned before, Paper Monsters is a 3D game and a decent looking one at that. Unfortunately, this mode is broken on Android because after a while the game world abruptly ends and your character goes into an infinite fall. There is also a mini game called Drag ‘N Dash, where the character moves forward on its own and you just have to press jump at the right time to collect the buttons and avoid the enemies. There is the main story mode and two other modes called Punkin’ Time and Heartbreak Shakedown, which offer similar gameplay to the main campaign but are seasonal packages that were released during Valentine’s Day and Halloween. The presence of enemies and collectibles only makes it more fun. Most of the fun comes from the platforming, where timing your jumps correctly is everything. The difficulty ramps up nicely and offers a fair amount of challenge to keep you interested without being too easy or too difficult. It is easy to dismiss the game due to its visual style as something childish and boring but go past the initial levels and you’ll find that the Paper Monsters is challenging enough to keep you on its toes. It’s a neat trick and only possible because the game is in 3D. Once you exit that area, the camera focuses back to the main level. At times you enter special levels within levels, which are actually placed behind the main level, so the camera just focuses in the background so you can see yourself in the back. The side scrolling action is similar to most 2D games but the 3D visuals makes things more interesting. The gameplay in Paper Monsters will remind you of Cordy or Pandemonium (if you are old enough). Thankfully, you get an unlimited supply of torpedoes to fire at them. There, along with the sea creatures, you also have mines to avoid. There are some which cannot be killed this way, or in any way, so you just have to avoid them.Īlong with the land levels there are also some underwater levels where you take the form of a submarine. To take them out, you just have to jump over them. Throughout the game you will face many enemies. These buttons can later be used as currency to purchase items to customize the look of your character.Īlong with the buttons, there are precisely three paper clips in each level but these are usually hidden or out of reach and requires a bit of exploration to find. There are also a handful of gold buttons throughout the levels. There are several silver buttons scattered throughout the level and if you collect 50 you get one gold button. In this game, your objective is to avoid the enemies and collect buttons and paper clips as you move towards the end of the level. Basically, the game is rendered in 3D but the action mostly is in just two planes. Paper Monsters is a 3D side-scrolling game, which is why I referred to it as 2.5D. ![]() ![]() ![]() middleware, function ( req, res ) ) Example template/index. compile ( indexHbs ) // CATCH ALL ROUTE app. readFileSync ( indexHbsPath, 'utf8' ) var indexTemplate = hbs. root, '/server/templates/index.hbs' ) var indexHbs = fs. registerHandlebarsHelpers ( hbs ) //Load index page var indexHbsPath = path. ![]() router ) // Register wilson helpers to handlebars wilson. join ( _dirname, './client' ) ) ) //attach the wilson routes under mountpath '/wilson' app. set ( 'port', '3000' ) //Load wilson and initialize it var wilsonConfigJson = require ( './config/wilson-config.json' ) var wilson = Wilson ( app, wilsonConfigJson ) //Set up static assets app. I accept Hightail's The simple & secure way to share files With Lite plan, you can: Send smaller files (100MB/file) with 2GB cloud file storage All files sent will expire in 7 days Rely on automatic delivery notifications and file tracking To see all Lite plan features, visit our pricing page. ![]() Daily Telegraph, Daily Express, Daily Mirror, Herald-Sun.
