When I look at the images of my past and the images from the present, I know there is a humanity to them, but how do I explain what they mean to me and how I relate to the rest of humanity? I find it hard to really grasp this and how I can truly lay this out and explain it. In many ways, I want to really just make scrapbook-like pages with...

The Large Hadron Collider is finally turning on. A quick step backwards: the LHC is particle accelerator, the largest of its kind, underwritten by all the wild money in science, a ringed tunnel some 27 kilometers long, deep underground, crossing the French-Swiss border at four points. It's been over twenty years in the making and has...

Here is a list of completed objectives since last update: The low touch color spectrum is complete and has been applied to the book. The colors are more subjective than that of the high touch. I'm considering whether or not that's a good thing I've decided to apply excerpts from my interviews in my book. The excepts are placed at the...

The colors associated with "low-touch emotions" are more subjective compared to the rather expected decisions for the HTS. I may go back & revise the HTS after all. It may also be wise to juxtapose the HTS & LTS on the same spread to emphasize a dichotomy. We'll see.

My book will, in hope, communicate the sensation of positive and negative touch through visual color references. The breakdown: By interviewing numerous individuals about the emotions felt when one is touched vs. not touched, I have come up with a list of 19 "high-touch" emotions and 19 "low-touch" emotions that correlate...

As previously discussed, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's concept of flow was initially very narrow in its application. Soon, however, other scholars started to apply this wonderful idea to other areas. One of the most important areas where it was applied was in sports. The idea that there is a mental state where a person can perform at optimum while...

The following is a list of moments when I have felt ecstatic, along with the reasons why I felt that way: • When I ran very good 5Ks that I felt I was in the zone. I felt no pain and felt like I could just keep going and going. I felt like I was going with the crowd, being carried by it, and that I just needed to keep doing what I was doing...

Hungarian psychologist Mihály Csíkszentmihályi has done research into something he calls flow. Flow is a state of mind in which a person is totally concentrated in an activity and is and is at an optimum level of performance. This phenomenon was initially proposed by Dr. Csíkszentmihályi to be applicable in extrinsic applications such as...

ax² + bx + c = 0 (ax² + bx + c)*4a = 0*4a 4a²x² + 4abx + 4ac = 0 (4a²x² + 4abx + 4ac) + b² = 0 + b² (4a²x² + 4abx + b²) + 4ac = b² (2ax+b)² + 4ac = b² (2ax + b)² = b² - 4ac 2ax + b = ± √(b² - 4ac) 2ax = -b ± √(b² - 4ac) x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/2a
