Healthcare, Fitness, Nutrition, Cuisine, Vitamins, Sanitation

Healthcare
Do people have more health complications today, all these people getting surgery? or a long time ago with all the diseases?

Fitness
Do people work out more today with all the gyms etc. or a long time ago in daily labor and maybe walks?

Nutrition
Did people eat well a long time ago and so didn't get fat without gyms?

Cuisine
Did food taste better a long time ago, as it was farmed by hand etc. and prepared with care for the elite? or suddenly do all these restaurants have the answers?

Vitamins
I think that taking different vitamins has become a necessity to keep people physically fit and ready for the day, so they don't give up and get fat and wheezy and sick.  Take your vitamins, and you may not need any medicine.  I have been taking vitamin C and never get sick almost.

Sanitation
I also use hand sanitizer, out.  We didn't in school as a kid but should.

"A New Way to Walk" - Exercise Apps

I jog 30 minutes a day and I use a short exercise from apps on my cell.

It's a boy! or It's a girl!

It seems like not a large percentage of people have taken the opportunity to get a kit that tells you a natural way to determine if your child will be a boy or girl.

Cursing

I don't see any problem.  There are other words in other languages.  It's just "how" you use them.

September

"According to a new study, being born in September means you will generally be more successful than your peers."

"The study looked at kids born in August versus kids born in September. Results showed that children born later in the year scored higher in math and reading, all the way through the eighth grade."

The cutoff date was September after my school year.

Many people, though maybe not most, put their kid up a grade higher.

Music Education

The US should put classical music and orchestras into their schools.

Music Education was a big argument, like the idea of forcing people's children to dance in schools.

How Obsessive: Great Art

This really "takes the cake."

I made some art with Aqua Beads a year ago that turned out great, but I found these toys called Squeezamals that look even greater.  I've only seen videos with the small ones because they can be used as stress toys that fit in the palm of your hand.  However, I want a large one.  "One and only one."  "One's enough."  The videos like to splurge a smorgasbord that doesn't even appear to be that many sold.  Oh, and I just found other places sell other designs.

Just to steer you in the right direction, here is an example of my "art work."

See, that's why I have a lifelong devotion to either crafts or 2D art.  Sorry, Tim Burton! but your art also appears to be great and almighty!

Recent Performances by Petra Müllejans!

I know she played with Hot and Cool recently, a small jazzy group with a few players.

On Saturday and Sunday, she played with the event Köthener Bachfesttage.  She played violin with Sabine Bauer on a keyboard instrument and, I think, cello.

Here is another performance with her of the same nature.

I don't know exactly what is planned yet, but I am pretty sure I read somewhere she is set to do more chamber work instead of playing in and sometimes/often leading the Freiburger Barockorchester, which she co-founded, which began in 1987, with a slightly younger man she had children with when she was married.

This is an interview with Petra Müllejans (violinist, 1959, Dusseldorf, Germany.) I cut and pasted parts of it to highlight the high points for readers. It is mostly about the Freiburger Barockorchester, which she co-founded in 1987 with a slightly younger man she had children with when they were married.


"You get together, you have crises, you go through this and that. This feels very similar in such an orchestra."

"I'm just such a mother, who was there from the beginning. At the same time, we already have a lot younger members. The reasons that I finally decided to leave the artistic direction are complex. For me it was definitely important to let go at some point, and for the orchestra it was the same. Of course that's my assessment, my rating. There are some members who think otherwise, they would have liked to keep me on the line for longer, but my point of view is that."

"In fact, we were married for a long time and have two wonderful children. ... For a while, we have been a little bit more professionally out of the way, but we have been looking after our children more and more together. In the orchestra, we shared the leadership position and took turns taking care of the children, which was a bit self-evident. ... Although one is a common family, there is always some competition between two violinists. Otherwise you would be a saint."

"Our absolute top priority, however, was that we could do it well for our children."

"Oh, my life is so busy with games, teaching and family. If I started that, it would just be too much. And I'd probably be addicted if I always saw what others wrote. Then the nights would be lost, and actually I think it's scary. Maybe that will be my pastime if I can not play anymore, but until then it's not my cup of tea. ( laughs )"

"You rehearse and rehearse, and discover something new every time. This is so incredible on these pieces and even on Bach. I'm convinced that if the world still exists in a thousand years, it will be."
