No to Meta. Just in case…Everyone, stay safe and warm. Big day tomorrow. It’s official. Signed at 6:00am. It was even on TV. Mine really turned blue. Don't forget that tomorrow marks the start of the new Facebook rule (also known as Meta), which allows them to use your photos. Don't forget the deadline is today!!!
Hold your finger anywhere in this message and “copy” will appear. Click “copy. Then go to your page, create a new post, and place your finger anywhere in the empty field. “Paste” will appear, and click Paste.
This will bypass the system….
He who does nothing consents
According to the show 60 Minutes:
Just in case you missed it: a lawyer advised us to post this. The violation of privacy can be punished by law. NOTE: Facebook Meta is now a public entity. Every member must post a note like this. If you do not publish a statement at least once, it will be technically understood that you are allowing the use of your photos, as well as the information contained in your profile status updates.

I HEREBY DECLARE THAT I DO NOT GIVE MY PERMISSION FOR FACEBOOK OR META TO USE ANY OF MY PERSONAL DATA.

We are only 1 week away from a great seminar. Looking forward to seeing you there!

If you’re not moving, you’re dying. Sign up for classes and live again

Participating in activities like martial arts, dance, and team sports can significantly enhance cognitive function and strengthen brain circuits through a combination of physical activity, cognitive challenges, and social interaction.

Physical activity, in general, (but especially these activities), promotes neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and reorganize itself.

Engaging in these activities stimulates the release of neurotrophic factors like BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), which supports the growth and survival of neurons and strengthens synaptic connections, improving learning, memory, and other cognitive functions.

Also, these activities require planning, focusing, remembering instructions, and managing multiple tasks, all of which fall under executive function. For example, martial arts training significantly impacts the prefrontal cortex, enhancing decision-making and impulse control.

Memorizing sequences of movements, like in dance choreography or martial arts forms (Poomsae/Kata), strengthens the hippocampus, a brain region crucial for memory formation.

Additionally, maintaining focus and concentration on movements, instructions, or opponents, as required in these activities, strengthens the prefrontal cortex, the brain’s attention center.

Also, the need to react quickly to an opponent’s moves in martial arts or adapt to changing situations in team sports sharpens reflexes and processing speed.

These activities also enhance both gross and fine motor skills by engaging the cerebellum, responsible for motor control and
coordination.

Dance and martial arts, particularly, cultivate spatial awareness and the ability to navigate and orient oneself in space.
