The New and Novel Complex Brain-Based Therapy and Jazz

In August 1991, former World Boxing Champion John Famechon sustained severe incapacitating brain injuries. In December of 1993, he began a new and novel complex multi-movement therapy and rehabilitation program, which eventually helped him regain a condition close to his pre-accident state. “The New and Novel Complex Brain Therapy?”

The question to ask and answer was: What was meant by the descriptor “a new and novel therapy?” Which eventually evolved to be described as complex brain-based multi-movement therapy (CBBMMT) and then complex multi-movement therapy (CMMT).

In terms of application, it was my contention that my new and novel therapy had three elements. First, the focus of the therapy was the brain; and it was the application and action of movement that was the only way to access and influence the brain to change, which would then hopefully lead to physical changes taking place.

Second, the aim was to apply as much complexity as possible when visibly feasible. My rationale for this (personal philosophical principle) was that this approach would bring about neurological, neurobiological, and neuromuscular transmission firing, leading to neurological and neuromuscular connections. The hope was that this would lead to neurological and neuromuscular changes, leading to movement returning to limbs that previously were unable to move.

Third, the idea and ongoing hope was to achieve maximum brain and body benefits. That would eventually lead to becoming self-initiated complex brain and body movement. I had no idea if this would happen, but it always made sense to me. My studies in “Play Theory” influenced my thinking about this. Play Theory research declared that play was imperative because when play took place, thinking and movement occurred. This play-based process then changed the brain and continued to develop and advance the fine and gross muscles of the body. This also led to the development and ongoing enhancement of movement and physical skill potential.

The Complex New and Novel Brain-Based Multi-Movement Therapy and Jazz

As I progressed with applying my new and novel complex brain-based multi-movement therapy, its application, and the intuitive movement format I was applying (as time progressed and as I began to see the physical and movement changes taking place, all of this began to remind me of jazz. That idea came to mind because (to my understanding of jazz), that jazz music had, at its essence, the application of instrumental musical intuition. This meant that nothing was planned. The music that came into existence (occurred in the intuitive moment), in accordance with what each musician was hearing and playing.

Jazz is usually improvised (i.e., invented as it is played). However, the musician had to be highly skilled to be able to play the musical instrument in question. This skill level could only be achieved through hard work and unrelenting practice (Alterhaug, 2004; Benson, 2006; Torrance and Schumann, 2019; Zack, 2000).

Jazz is characterised by a strong but flexible rhythmic understructure with solo and ensemble improvisations on basic tunes and chord patterns and, more recently, a highly sophisticated harmonic idiom (Alterhaug, 2004; Benson, 2006; Torrance and Schumann, 2019; Zack, 2000).

Jazz music is (as noted), played by highly skilled and talented musicians in various increasingly complex styles. It is generally marked by intricate, propulsive rhythms, polyphonic ensemble playing, improvisatory, virtuosic solos, melodic freedom, and a harmonic idiom ranging from simple rhythms to complicated atonality (Alterhaug, 2004; Benson, 2006; Torrance and Schumann, 2019; Zack, 2000).

The YT algorithm washed ashore this review from a random small youtuber. I foud it interesting enough to share with you, as it has a headphone jack and seems to have good repairability.

An excerpt from the article:

Ms. Jones has been scouring the West Los Angeles rental market to find a house that the family could rent for the next eight months, or longer. On Friday morning, she noticed something disturbing on the rents of at least three of the properties she had been tracking: 15 to 20 percent increases overnight.

The sudden surge in rental costs took Ms. Jones by surprise, but aligned with what she has noticed since wildfires started to tear through the Los Angeles area on Tuesday. Ms. Jones was touring a rental house in Beverly Hills with her client on Thursday when the listing agent raised the monthly cost by $3,000 — on the spot. Agents and landlords are aware that some displaced Angelenos might be willing to pay given the circumstance.

“People are so panicked and desperate to get into a house right now that they’re just throwing money into the wind,” Ms. Jones said. “People taking advantage of this. It’s horrendous.”

And now, totally unrelated to this, the definition of "parasitism":

Association between two different organisms wherein one benefits at the expense of the other.

Took a long time to clean. They were pretty filthy since they were neglected for quite sometime.

Summary

A new study from Spain’s Autonomous University of Barcelona reveals that tea bags made from nylon, polypropylene, and cellulose release billions of micro- and nanoplastic particles when steeped in boiling water.

These particles, which can enter human intestinal cells, may pose health risks, potentially affecting the digestive, respiratory, endocrine, and immune systems.

Researchers urge regulatory action to mitigate plastic contamination in food packaging.

Consumers are advised to use loose-leaf tea with stainless steel infusers or biodegradable tea bags to minimize exposure.
