The book is in itself, a great accompaniment to travelers and students. For visual readers, a 2010 illustrated interpretation of this classic can also be found on Amazon ( The Alchemist: A Graphic Novel ). Accompany your readings with Walter Taieb’s The Alchemist’s Symphony, a work with eight movements and five interludes inspired by the book. Think about its allegories and why Santiago had to meet all those different individuals throughout his voyage. It’s a great read if you’re looking for something short and sweet that you can finish in a day.įor those on a spiritual or personal journey, this story is also a good supplement to your quiet reflections. To date, The Alchemist has sold over 65 million copies and has been translated in about 80 different languages. Aside from ‘ following your dreams’, many readers also believe that The Alchemist teaches us the values of: not giving up, the wisdom behind Maktub (‘it is written’), and finding the extraordinary behind the ordinary. But the philosophy ‘when you really want something to happen, the whole universe will conspire so that your wish comes true’ plays a huge part throughout the protagonist’s journey. Originally written in Portuguese and first published in 1988, this story is now an international bestseller. According to the writer, he was able to finish The Alchemist in only two weeks because ‘the story was already written in soul’. It was only after a 500-mile plus pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1986 that he decided to seriously follow his dreams of becoming a writer.īefore The Alchemist, Coelho wrote The Pilgrimage, which was published in 1987. He dabbled in songwriting, journalism, as well as acting. After that, he traveled the world: going to South America, North Africa, Mexico, and Europe. Before pursuing his dream, he studied law and was even committed to a mental hospital in his younger years. The world renowned Paulo Coelho wasn’t always a writer. One of Coelho’s first works, it’s also one of his best and most successful. An endearing story about the Andalusian shepherd boy, Santiago, and his journey in search of treasure in the Egyptian pyramids, it’s a tale of courage, passion, and dreams. ![]() ![]() In addition, you sometimes have trouble choosing only the essential parts of the material, so you should try the sizes provided by the application to apply to the image you like.

People watch battles for the ruthlessness, for the vicariousness, the catharsis. I get that the hype comes with the territory and it's literally the game for people step up to the mic to be clowned, but I'd like to know how you feel about all that. While there certainly are sharp dudes that appreciate the lyricism and construction of the opponents' verses, there are those that feel the need to overly down talk anyone and anyone involved (including poor Sara Kana - she can't catch a damn break). ![]() Whenever I see youtube comments or tweets about battling or whatever, there seems to be this tone of immaturity that is more potent than that of, say, the hip hop community in general.

In this writer’s opinion, its success is how it brought an entire community, culture, and craft into the conversation, disrupting the status quo. For so long, hip hop fought a seat at the table-so FlipTop made their own. To celebrate FlipTop’s 12th anniversary, we’re reliving its 12 most-watched videos over the years. With combined views of more than 2 billion as of writing, it’s not a surprise that FlipTop MCs almost swept the top 10 most-viewed battle rappers in the world in any language, according to battle rap music index site VerseTracker, with nine out of the top 10 list (the sole non-Filipino rapper in the list is Oxxxymiron from Russia). Sinio tops the list with more than 313 million views in his 21 battles, averaging nearly 15 million views per battle. The other rappers who made it in the list are, in order: Loonie (2nd at 213 million), Tipsy D (3rd at 199 million), Shernan (4th at 189 million), Zaito (5th at 186 million), Shehyee (7th at 160 million), Abra (8th at 145 million), Smugglaz (9th at 126 million), and Dello (10th at 102 million). ![]() One of the league’s most popular staples is Dos por Dos (two for two), a tag-team freestyle rap battle format. ![]() ![]() The various postures influence the nervous system and structure of the body. When we practice the Daojia (Taoist) method we accumulate Qi in different areas of the body through moving (and staying) in ranges in which the tendons are most actively used. The Shaolin monks for example have developed a more “modern” and dynamic version of the Yijin Jing which is not using the principles of Zhan Zhuang Gong but instead focuses on stretching the major tendon lines in the body and stimulating the organs through winding and twisting motions. This gave the monks not only a stronger body but the results also lasted which enabled them to focus more on their spiritual cultivation. The practice of strengthening the tendons (or increasing tendon-like qualities in the muscles) allows the joints to open, grow stronger and store more energy. Compared to muscles, tendons don't require as much maintenance and caloric fuel and they hold up their strength long term. The Yijin Jing is his solution for cultivating body, mind and spirit simultaneously. The true strength of the body is expressed through the tendons, rather than the muscles. Legend says that Damo found refuge in the Shaolin temple and realized that the monks had been neglecting their physical body in their cultivation practice. “Jing” means classic as in the original concept of the practice or scripture that was written about it.Īccording to a legend the Yijin Jing was left behind by Damo (Bodhidarama) in the cave in which he meditated and developed it for multiple years. Using Qi as the basis of practice, you will slowly be able to change the quality of your muscles and tendons and develop a well conditioned physical constitution. Together “Yijin” applies the total transformation of the body and mind. Strength and power, developed within the framework of a peaceful and calm mind. Yi “ means change or transformation and “jin” means as much as muscles & tendons, but here also includes the ligaments, fascia and other connective tissues in the body. But before we get into that let’s see what “ Yijin Jing” even means. ![]() Generally you could say that about a lot of things, but there are a few major points that make this practice so powerful and much more effective. The Yijin Jing (Muscle and Tendon Transformation Qigong) can transform even the smallest framed individual into a healthy and strong person capable of incredible feats of strength and willpower. ![]() That’s why I want to summarize what I think are important facts about this practice and offer you some insight based on my personal experiences. In particular the Taoist and Xiongshi method which are closely following the authentic Yijin Jing principles in combination with Zhan Zhuang Gong. If you know me for a while, you know that the Yijin Jing is my favorite Qigong practice. This post is part 1/3 in which I cover the most important facts of Yijin Jing Qigong. ![]() ![]() ![]() First off, I don’t use the iOS Facebook app because in the past it has been a huge battery suck and I honestly don’t trust Facebook. I have a similar Shortcut automation that I use for Facebook but this one has a couple of additional steps. The shortcut I have for opening Apple News is pretty simple (Image by Skip Owens) I limit my time by setting a 5-minute timer before I open Apple’s News app and I do that with a Shortcut (which you can download here). The group text action lets you quickly send a text to more than one person (Image by Skip Owens)Īnother way I use automation with LCP is to help me limit how much time I spend browsing news. An example group text Shortcuts automation can be downloaded here. This ends up saving quite a few clicks (navigating over to the messages app) and then it also saves you from having to search for the group thread that you want to text. Shortcuts lets you pre-populate a text with numerous recipients so that all you have to do is press the “group text” button in LCP and Shortcuts will kick off an automated sequence that will prompt you for text and then send that text out to a group of people. For this I use the iOS application Shortcuts to automate sending a text to a group of people. But I also have more complex actions like texting a group of people. The group I call “Text” has several actions, most of which are very simple like sending a text message to a single person (and this is a basic action that can be setup in LCP). ![]() Once you get used to where all these buttons are you develop muscle memory and this press and slide method ends up being a really fast way to kick off an action. In order to access the buttons in a group folder like this you first press and hold the group button and then slide your finger over to the button you want to choose and release your finger. In the image above you will see a button labeled “Text.” This button is actually what is called a group in LCP and when used it opens up a second screen under that button that you can then fill full of other additional buttons or actions. My main Launch Center Pro launch screen (Image by Skip Owens) If you look at the LCP main screen I have below from my iPhone you will see that I have a couple of “buttons” assigned to communication related tasks. That way you can eliminate the vast expanse of colorful app icons from which you can choose to go down the rabbit hole with. ![]() For apps you only occasionally you just use the search function (swipe down from the center of the screen and type in what you are searching for to launch it). By force I mean you put all of the apps into folders so they are out of sight and out of mind and use LCP to get into your most frequent and important apps. Using an app like LCP can help you do that if you “force” yourself to use LCP to launch/open pretty much everything on your phone. So let’s start by putting the critical communication functions of our phones front and center. That may be the most important use we have for our smart phones, but for most of us we spend far more time doing other less productive things. If you ask most people why carrying a smart phone with them everywhere was so important they would most likely tell you it is so they can always be in communication with family members and close friends. If you haven’t already done so I suggest reading Part 1 before reading the rest of this article. So, check out Michael’s video and then head over to his blog post to grab the URLs and add these various shortcuts to your own setup.Images by Skip Owens with Launch Center Pro icon from Ī few days ago I wrote “Part 1” of this article, which talks about what makes our phones so addictive and at a high level how an app like Launch Center Pro (LCP) can help. Sure, all of this can be done from OmniFocus itself, but anyone who has used launchers like LaunchBar or QuickSilver on OS X knows that they make things a lot faster. Thus, you can quickly make a note from an email, or remind yourself to call a particular person, all with the main text already filled out. Launch Center Pro will send various pre-defined snippets (similar to TextExpander Touch) to the app, including the contents of the clipboard. OmniFocus uses URL schemes which let you create a task, to add text to that task’s title and to add notes. At its simplest, it lets you launch an app, but the real meat comes when an app lets you send data directly inot it from elsewhere. Launch Center Pro is an app which uses URL schemes to hook itself into other apps which support them. ![]() ![]() This choice should reflect the amount of activity in your life based on how you exercise and how physically active your life and/or job is. If eating more protein becomes too expensive or filling, you may be better off getting those calories from fats or carbs. If this doesn't make the scale go up after a couple of weeks, you may need to add a few hundred more calories. Selecting "gain weight" will put you 500 calories above maintenance, on a 40/30/30 macro split. Train hard, eat big, right? But once the fork hits the plate, plenty of people find they need to eat far more than they realized to see the scale move up. ![]() Gaining weight-especially as muscle-sounds easy enough. This is a popular "sweet spot," both calorically and in terms of macronutrients, for healthy, sustainable weight loss. If you know that you're ready to lose a few pounds and you have some experience counting calories or tracking macros, select "lose weight." This will give you a target that is usually 200-700 calories below maintenance, depending on your activity level, and a 40/40/20 macronutrient breakdown of carbs, protein, and fats. Many nutritionists say before you start cutting or adding calories or tweaking your macros, you should spend some time at maintenance level and get more comfortable with tracking your foods and portion sizes. WHICH GOAL AND ACTIVITY LEVEL SHOULD I CHOOSE? MAINTAIN CURRENT WEIGHTįirst time tracking macros? Or not sure which goal is right for you? Then start with "maintenance." In theory, this is where you will eat the same number of calories that you burn and maintain your current weight. And if you'd like to use the calculator to determine your targets for the macros of your choice-say, you're starting a ketogenic diet and want to know how many grams of fats make up 80 percent of your calories-click Customize My Macros to dial in your personalized numbers! You can find in-depth explanations of our preferred macros for each goal below. If you're wondering if this approach is right for you, trainer and health coach Sohee Lee provides guidance in her article, "To Macro or Not: Should You Track Your Macro Intake?" If you know you're ready to know your macros, the macro calculator below can help you determine your daily targets for three goals: As long as you come close to your numbers (how close remains a subject of debate), you have a lot of flexibility on what foods you can use to get there. Also known as "flexible dieting," it turns old-school, calorie-based dieting on its head by focusing instead on the amount of protein, carbohydrates, and fats making up those calories. In recent years, a dietary approach called IIFYM, or "if it fits your macros," has taken the fitness world by storm.

Likewise, the color scheme must derive from fields and woods to match the elements of nature.Īnother key component of this architectural style is simplicity. The structure must therefore be designed as if it was molded by nature for and from that landscape. Amongst its core concepts is the idea that buildings, as any living organism, must grow from within its environment and adapt to it. This form of architecture can be distinguished from more traditional styles by its peculiar characteristics. The idea behind organic architecture is to put human life, nature and the built environment on the same level and build a sustainable ecosystem where all components support one another and thrive as a result.įrank Lloyd Wright’s work was built upon Louis Sullivan’s, his mentor who believed that “form follows function.” Wright took that idea a step forward, stating that both elements are not just related but rather integral: “Form and function are one.” It was on that basis that organic architecture was defined. In more recent years, this notion has expanded to the world of architecture with Frank Lloyd Wright coining the term “organic architecture” in the early 1900s. Such concepts have long been expressed in writings, from Ralph Waldo Emerson to Henry David Thoreau. Transcendentalist philosophers share the idea that humans and nature are equal forces of the earth that should be living in harmony.

To reheat, place the Hollandaise in a double boiler or in a heat-safe bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. You can reheat Hollandaise sauce, but you must do so gently. It can also be frozen, but we don't really recommend it. If you do need to store leftover Hollandaise longer, you can refrigerate for at most 3 days (though 1 to 2 days is best). Just be sure to stir it occasionally to keep the emulsion from separating. You can make it about 30 minutes in advance and keep it warm on top of a double boiler of hot water (not boiling) on a warm stove or in a 200☏ oven. Hollandaise sauce does not store well, and it's best eaten soon after it is made. If the sauce is emulsified but too thin, pour the sauce into the pot you melted the butter in and heat over low heat, whisking constantly until it gets more body.Ĭan You Store and Reuse Leftover Hollandaise? If the butter is only barely warm, it won’t heat the yolks enough to thicken the sauce.And a little extra water helps the hollandaise emulsify better.
