The article contains photos of the vending machine. Here is the list of chicken parts we covered in this episode. Yakitori Terminology List Momo (モモ、もも): Thigh meat Sasami (ささみ): Meat from the inner breast, chicken tenderloin Negima (ねぎま、葱鮪), Hasami (はさみ): In the context of yakitori this refers to a skewer of chicken and green onions Note: This was not made clear in the episode but according to the sources we found the term negima came from the name of a stew made of green onions and tuna. This dish was called negimanabe (葱鮪鍋). As explained in the episode, eventually people started using chicken became more affordable than tuna and so the term negima came to be associated with chicken rather than tuna. Mune (むね): Chicken breast Bonjiri (ぼんじり): The meat at tail of the chicken Kimo (肝、きも), Rebā (レバー): Liver Zuri (ずり), Sunazuri (砂ずり), Sunagimo (砂肝): Gizzard Nankotsu (なんこつ、軟骨): Cartilage Yagen nankotsu (ヤゲン軟骨): Cartilage (connects to the breast bone) Hatsu (八ツ), Shinzō (心臓), Kokoro (こころ): Heart Mame (まめ), Mamegimo (まめぎも): Chicken pancreas Seseri (せせり), Soroban (そろばん), Nekku (ネック): Chicken neck meat Kinkan (キンカン): Chicken ovary Chōuchin (チョウチン): Chicken ovary with egg yolk Note: Although in the episode we give the impression that kinkan and chōchin are the same, it seems that they are actually two different types of yakitori. However, there is a chance that some places may not distinguish so strictly between the two. The latest episode of the Japan Station podcast, can be found below.

Money isn’t always the key to happiness. What are the key financial planning processes for using your money to live a better life? In this episode of the Finance for Physicians Podcast, Daniel Wrenne talks with his colleague, Jennifer Quire, a fellow Certified Financial Planner CFP®. As financial planners, Daniel and Jennifer’s goal is to help physicians use their money to live better lives. This starts with working through the financial planning process. Listen in to find out what this looks like. Topics Discussed: What is a financial plan? Roadmap of where you are and want to be How to create a financial plan? Organize financial affairs Clarify values and goals Analyze options Decide best path forward Execute next steps What’s most important to you? Money isn’t always the answer Life Planning Questions: If financially independent… I want you to imagine that you are financially secure, that you have enough money to take care of your needs, now and in the future. The question is, how would you live your life? What would you do with the money? Would you change anything? Let yourself go. Don’t hold back your dreams. Describe a life that is complete, that is richly yours. This time, you visit your doctor who tells you that you have five to ten years left to live. The good part is that you won’t ever feel sick. The bad news is that you will have no notice of the moment of your death. What will you do in the time you have remaining to live? Will you change your life, and how will you do it? This time, your doctor shocks you with the news that you have only one day left to live. Notice what feelings arise as you confront your very real mortality. Ask yourself: What dreams will be left unfulfilled? What do I wish I had finished or had been? What do I wish I had done? [Did I miss anything]?

As single moms, we typically have three things we want.  A man, money, and me time.  So how do we navigate those things as a single mom?  Is it possible to still achieve our goals and live life to the fullest?  In this episode, I sit down with Kaywanda Lamb and discuss how as a single mother you can still take charge of your life and live your dreams out. We deep dive into how we are faced with tough decisions and often we have to evaluate whether it’s time to move into a new space or if we need to learn something new at the current place we are in.  We are often tested but by keeping our eye on the goals, and making sure to look deep within we can get through anything. We also talk about how you don’t have to wait to start making changes and advancements in your life until after your kids are grown and how it is still possible to live boldly in life with kids.

On this episode of Ichimon Japan we ask: What is a tsuchinoko? Topics Discussed What a tsuchinoko is How you say "cryptid" in Japanese Tsuchinoko's status as a U.M.A. (Unidentified Mysterious Animal) What a tsuchinoko looks like Some of the abilities tsuchinoko are said to have The areas in Japan where tsuchinoko tend to live The sounds tsuchinoko are said to make The prevalence of tsuchinoko in the Kinki area The typical colors tsuchinoko are reported to be The many names used to refer to tsuchinokos What tsuchinoko literally translates to and how it is written The tsuchinoko's resemblance to a hammer The mythological creature kirin The oldest records found in Japan that depict something resembling a tsuchinoko The possible links between tsuchinoko and Japanese mythology The goddess Kayanohime Nodzuchi (野槌) The tsuchinoko's rise to promnence in the second half of the 20th century Soseki Yamamoto, the man who is responsible for kicking off the "Tsuchinoko Boom" of the '70s and '80s Soseki Yamamoto's journey to document the tsuchinoko Soseki Yamamoto's disillusionment with witht he tsuchinoko craze The town of Mikata in Hyogo Prefecuture's claim that they possessed a tsuchinoko Tsuchinoko bounties The tsuchinoko's connection to yokai Some of the many video games in which tsuchinoko appear The tsuchinoko shrine in Gifu Prefecture Tsuchinoko as a revered creature of the gods Tsuchinoko as a PR gimmick/cute mascot character Real animals that people may have seen and assumed were tsuchinoko The possibility that blue-tongued skinks are responsible for tsuchinoko sightings The yamanamekuji's resemblance to the typical tsuchinoko The tiger keelback's (yamakagashi) and its possible resemblance to tsuchinoko The story of a World War II soldier that thought he had caught a tsuchinoko And much more! Note: Whether a tsuchinoko is classified as a yōkai or not depends on who you ask. While it certainly can be classified as such, it is also commonly referred to as as a cryptid (UMA, mikakunin dōbutsu). This peculiarity raises an interesting question: can a creature be both a cryptid and a yōkai? The answer to that question is probably: it depends who you ask.

One day, Malkie Gordon Hirsch received a phone call that would forever change her life. She was told that her husband had collapsed at work and had passed away. She was then left to not only navigate through her own grief but also try to help her five children process through the loss of their father. This is part one of our two-part conversation where Malkie generously walks us through the first year of life after losing a spouse. She openly shares with us the importance of feeling pain, not numbing yourself to it’s grip, and the process of healing. We discuss the difference between empathizing with someone and having “pity” over them and how important it is to show up in the RIGHT way for someone who is hurting. We also talk about how to be sensitive to your children’s needs and gently teaching them how to handle pain in their own way.  There is  a lot of emotion in this episode and it may not be appropriate for those who are not ready to process everything that was said.

Today's guest on the podcast is our director of Nutrition Education, Ashley Osterman. We discuss one of the topics from the Nutrition Business Virtual Workshop and a popular topic when working with clients -- FAD Diets. Topics Discussed: - What are FAD Diets - What are the pros and cons of the most popular FAD diets - What is your role as a nutrition coach as clients navigate FAD diets - When we recorded this episode, we were planning on charging for the presentation replay, but I wanted to make this information accessible to all gym owners and nutrition coaches. Gym owners should feel confident talking to their clients about nutrition and the Nutrition Business Virtual Workshop REPLAY is a great first step to help you not reinvent the wheel when it comes to building a nutrition program.

Ever wondered what comedians and mental health have in common? Is it ever appropriate to make jokes at a funeral? And what does it look like to find humor in dark times? Our guests this week answer these questions and more as we discover the importance of humor and how it affects our mental health. In this week’s episode, my co-host and President of Positive Recovery Centers, Julie DeNofa, and I speak with comedians, Andy Huggins and Mike Peterson. Andy Huggins is a graduate of both The Comedy Store in Los Angeles and Houston’s renowned Comedy Workshop. Andy has worked with acts ranging from Ray Charles, Billy Gardell, Jeff Foxworthy to Dick Gregory. He has played comedy clubs, jazz clubs, corporate gigs, AA conventions, and has entertained our troops stationed in Japan. In the mid-1980s he was a member of The Texas Outlaw Comics whose legendary performances are still celebrated today. Andy also appears in the acclaimed documentary ‘American: The Bill Hicks Story’. He has written for Bill Hicks, Jay Leno, and Billy Crystal at The Academy Awards. Andy is one of the most sought-after comedians in Texas and a comedy staple since 1981. Last year he had an outstanding appearance on America’s Got Talent. Andy turned sixty sometime in his early thirties. At long, happy last, age, attitude, and comedy has come together at the same time. Mike Peterson is a retired Sergeant from the City of West University Police Department in Houston after 20 years of service. Prior to that Mike spent 3 years in the U.S. Army Military Police. Mike has been performing standup comedy for 21 years.

Quotes: Dr. Jason Powers   “It’s this beautiful second chance to be in recovery and to be able to take advantage of time that we were wasting before.” “In Positive Recovery, we borrow a lot from the science of happiness or the positive psychology. We want people to lead in their strengths.” Andy Huggins “Instead of hopping on CNN or MSNBC first thing in the morning and making myself ill for the rest of the day, every morning I hop on YouTube and find me an AA speaker. Their tone and attitude is just very reassuring to me.” “You get a funny idea and just figure it out by trial and error. There’s no other way.” “I think the reason why we connect with AA audiences is that we're both doing the same thing. Comics take something negative and turn them into a positive. People in recovery are taking a negative and taking it into a positive as well.” Mike Peterson  “In Recovery, you’ve gotta have fun. Just because you're in recovery that doesn't mean you can't have fun anymore.”

When it comes to fixing others, we can have strong instinctual feelings that we need to help and ultimately fix the broken places in others. But we have to realize that we can’t fix others and it is not our place.  We can help guide, and help direct if we are invited into that healing process, but it is not our place to step in without being inviting, even if we see reason to do so.  Everyone’s healing is their own journey.  The best way to start helping others is to pour positivity into our children.  We say that our children are our first priority, and we provide for them, but pouring into our children involves more than just providing for them.  Are they heard?  Are they being shown attention, and are we giving our time to them.  This is the biggest thing we can do in order to prevent them growing up and being broken.

Today on the show we are joined by one of psychology’s most legendary ever figures - Professor David Buss. David is a professor of psychology at the University of Austin, and his work into evolutionary psychology, specifically into human mating, mate selection, mate attraction and conflicts between the sexes have led to him winning multiple awards: that include being cited more than 70,000 times, being named one of the 50 most influential psychologists in the world, as well as one of the top 30 most influential psychologists living today. We discuss the traits that you should absolutely look to avoid in a partner, as well as the ones that you should seek out, what happens when there’s a ratio imbalance of the sexes, we discuss human nature and how we can leverage it, how men and women differ in their mating strategies, why there’s so much more at risk for women when selecting a partner and what we can do to give us a better chance of finding a better mate. I would highly recommend listening to the full thing as this episode really does kick into life. Topics Discussed: - What is evolutionary psychology? - Why do people try to disown the dark sides of human nature? - Why do women have so much more at risk in human mating? - What happens when there’s more one of one sex in a specific location? - Are 80% of women pursuing the top 20% of men? - Why muscularity in men is valuable in the sexual marketplace - What traits should we look to avoid in a romantic mate Links & resources mentioned: Social traits that raise your status: https://news.utexas.edu/2020/06/02/social-status-helped-and-hindered-by-the-same-behaviors-and-traits-worldwide/ Mating crisis amongst educated women: https://www.edge.org/response-detail/26747 Follow David on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ProfDavidBuss Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/freedompact Youtube: Freedom Pact

Today is a milestone episode that is being celebrated in a very special way. We have been discussing gratitude extensively on the podcast for one year and to close up our season of “Attitude of Gratitude” we are hearing from THE authority on gratitude, Dr. Robert Emmons. For over 20 years Dr. Emmons has researched, taught, and wrote about the topic of gratitude concluding simply that, “Gratitude Works”. In our conversation he shares with us how an assignment to study gratitude changed the course of his own life and gave him the opportunity to understand one of the most powerful tools that we have available to us right now. He shares that, “Gratitude is the truest approach to life” and we can CHOOSE to walk in gratitude no matter what our circumstances. He believes that “Gratitude energizes and shapes the future” and actually “frees” us in our day-to-day life. We also discuss the routine of gratitude and how we can develop the habit while our lives are already so busy.  We hope that you enjoyed this episode and loved this series of Attitude of Gratitude as much as we have.

What does forgiveness look like?  What does it actually mean to forgive, and how do we move on with our lives after we have been betrayed or lied to?  Forgiveness is not sweeping something under the rug and pretending it didn’t happen, but it is acknowledging a wrong was done, and recognizing that for us to move on in our own lives we have to go through the phases of forgiveness. In this episode we dive into the four phases of forgiveness.  What each stage looks like, how to recognize what stage we are in, and how to be self aware of ourselves in order to know if we need to seek the help of  a professional therapist.  We dive into looking into the eyes of the offender, and while that may seem to go against forgiveness, it allows us to see things from another perspective that can help in our healing process.  Please connect with us in our private Facebook Group: It’s All Mental Podcast.

Can you image waking up one day and not remember anything?  Ella Dorner is famously known for receiving Retrograde Amnesia at age 15 (a fancy way of saying she forgot every memory she had ever made). She was forced to re-learn everything from colors and numbers to the difference between humans and animals; not to mention, all of her closest friends and family. After years of re-learning she shares her story of recovery, giving an inside look to our everyday world from the perspective of a child. Yes Ellas story is “crazy” but it’s her perspective on life now that I wanted to bring her on this show.  It’s crazy enough to shift your life.

I recently heard an interesting term called “Relationship PTSD”. For those of you who don’t know “PTSD” stands for “Post Traumatic Stress Disorder”. I saw two powerful examples of this recently and wanted to share these stories with you. Events in relationships can be amazing, but they can also cause considerable damage and prevent someone from experiencing intimacy in future relationships. Relationship  PTSD appears to be very real. I highly suggest that if you or someone you know are experiencing this, that you seek help from a professional therapist who can safely explore this with you. We hope this conversation equips you to not only understand those around you better but also gives you new insight into yourself and intimate relationships. We would love to hear from you! Do you think relationship PTSD is real? Do you know anyone who may be experiencing it?

On this episode of the Japan Station podcast, we're exploring the world of the bamboo flute known as the shakuhachi.. About Christopher Yohemei Blasdel Christopher Yohmei Blasdel is a master of the shakuhachi, an educator, and an award-winning author. He began instruction in the instrument in Japan in 1972 and has spent almost 50 years performing, producing music, teaching, and promoting the instrument around the world. Blasdel is the author of the instructional book The Shakuhachi: A Manual for Learning and The Single Tone: A Personal Journey into Shakuhachi Music. The latter of these is an autobiographical account of Blasdel's experiences with the shakuhachi. The Single Tone was originally published in Japanese under the title Shakuhachi Odessei, Ten no iro ni Miserarete and awarded the prestigious Rennyo Award for non-fiction in 2000.  Blasdel also possesses a fourth degree black belt in Aikido. Topics Discussed What a shakuhachi is and how it differs from other flutes Why the shakuhachi is so difficult to play The history of the shakuhachi The connection of the shakuhachi to Zen Buddhism The shakuhachi's use as a tool for suizen (blowing meditation) The rise and fall of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism Why komusō monks wore hats that covered their faces (tengai) The shakuhachi's emergence as a world instrument Why Blasdel decided to go to Japan How the shakuhachi is taught traditionally The tablature method used to transcribe shakuhachi music The World Shkauhachi Festival Blasdel's relationship with the artist Isamu Noguchi The different types of sounds that one can produce with the shakuhachi And much more! Note: At one point in this episode I say "Japanese internment camps." This is misleading since the camps in question were not established by the Japanese. The term was used in reference to the internment camps the U.S. government established during World War II to detain individuals of Japanese ancestry. The usage of the term "Japanese internment camp" was not intentional and only noticed after the final edit of the episode was made.
