Gasoline Price in your area

by JH in

jw
friends

yesterday alone the price of gasoline went up 9 cents a liter here in eastern canada passing from 68 to 77 cents a liter.

a one day jump of 9 cents a liter is equal to about 40 cents a gallon.

so now we pay 77 cents a liter or 3.50$ a canadian gallon.

$1.46 for regular and $1.57 for premium watered down Arco gas here in beautiful Newport Beach, CA

I'm one semester away from my Bachelors in ABN. Psychology and no, left brain/right brain "psychology" is not out-dated. This is especially true when dealing with people who have had head injuries resulting in dysfunction in certain areas of the brain. Maybe you should stop going to that low budget, back-water community college! A 300 level psychology "class" does not qualify you to even begin to comment on something like this.

Is this you shera:

Right Brain Thinking
Right Brain thinkers have a natural ability to multi-task, and are often found doing half a dozen things at the same time. These people think and work very quickly, however, they can be easily distracted and may have a tendency to cut corners.
They are frequently highly creative and artistic, excelling in job roles which include an element of design or where they can give their imagination a free rein. They sometimes dislike rules and boundaries feeling that this limits their creativity. They do not function well in environments they perceive as 'over-controlling', in which case they cease to function.
"One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries"
A.A. Milne
Time management is not easy for a Right Brain thinkers and they prefer to be given deadlines. Even then they have a tendency to leave everything until the last minute and stay up late or get up early in order to finish on time. They are invariably late as they will try to fit too many things into too short a timeframe. To be on time they have to over-compensate and so will arrive actually arrive early.
"I've been on a calendar, but never on time"
Marilyn Monroe
You may have noticed for yourself that "creative thinkers think backwards". By this I mean that if you ask them a question, they will very quickly "go to the end" and know the answer. If you ask them to explain how they worked that answer out, they will have to "think backwards" to the starting point of their thinking and then run their calculation more logically forwards. This more logical "left brained" approach of "thinking forwards from beginning to end" takes them much longer to do, in contrast with their natural right brain thinking which is very quick indeed.
Creative thinkers are not great list people, preferring to carry information around in their heads rather than write it down. This is a mistake as their brain cannot distinguish between what they have done (and can mentally tick off) and what they have only thought about doing. Consequently they often forget tasks and may need to be reminded by colleagues

I originally took the test in college...they were offering fifty dollars and a certificate to anyone with final I.Q of 128 or above. I wasn't aware that they changed the requirements. From what I hear now, any score of 1400 and above on your SAT score will get you in. Also, I never went to any of their meetings....Heck, I didn't know they even had them!! Again, I'm sure the scores mean nothing in the long run but it does measure some useful analytical and spatial abilties.
