Matcha or maccha (抹茶, Japanese: [mat.tɕa], English or ) is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea leaves. It is special in two aspects of farming and processing; the green tea plants for matcha are shade-grown for three to four weeks before harvest, and the stems and veins are removed during processing.
During shaded growth, the plant Camellia sinensis produces more theanine and caffeine. The powdered form of matcha is consumed differently from tea leaves or tea bags and is suspended in a liquid, typically water or milk.
The traditional Japanese tea ceremony centers on the preparation, serving, and drinking of matcha as hot tea, and embodies a meditative spiritual style. In modern times, matcha has also come to be used to flavor and dye foods such as mochi and soba noodles, green tea ice cream, matcha lattes, and a variety of Japanese wagashi confectionery.
Matcha used in ceremonies is referred to as ceremonial-grade, meaning that the powder is of a high enough quality to be used in the tea ceremony. Lower-quality matcha is referred to as culinary-grade, but no standard industry definition or requirements exist for either.
Blends of matcha are given poetic names known as chai (“tea names”) either by the producing plantation, shop, or creator of the blend or by the grandmaster of a particular tea tradition. When a blend is named by the grandmaster of a tea ceremony lineage, it becomes known as the master’s Konomi.

Social anxiety is nervousness in social situations. Some disorders associated with the social anxiety spectrum include anxiety disorders, mood disorders, autism, eating disorders, and substance use disorders. Individuals higher in social anxiety avert their gazes, show fewer facial expressions, and show difficulty with initiating and maintaining a conversation. Trait social anxiety, the stable tendency to experience this nervousness, can be distinguished from state anxiety, the momentary response to a particular social stimulus. Nearly 90% of individuals report feeling symptoms of social anxiety (i.e. shyness) at some point in their lives. Half of the individuals with any social fears meet criteria for social anxiety disorder. The function of social anxiety is to increase arousal and attention to social interactions, inhibit unwanted social behavior, and motivate preparation for future social situations.

Panic Room is a 2002 American thriller film directed by David Fincher. The film stars Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart as a mother and daughter whose new home is invaded by burglars, played by Forest Whitaker, Jared Leto, and Dwight Yoakam. The script was written by David Koepp.
Koepp’s screenplay was inspired by news coverage in 2000 about panic rooms. The film was Fincher’s fifth feature film, following Fight Club (1999). Fincher and Koepp brought together a crew of people with whom each had worked before. The house and its panic room were built on a Raleigh Studios lot. Nicole Kidman was originally cast as the mother, but she left after aggravating a previous injury. Her departure threatened the completion of the film, but Foster quickly replaced Kidman. The filmmakers used computer-generated imagery to create the illusion of the film camera moving through the house’s rooms. Foster became pregnant during the shooting schedule, so filming was suspended until after she gave birth. The film’s production cost $48 million.

In other territories, it grossed $100 million for a worldwide total of $196.4 million. Critics generally praised the film. Panic Room has been assessed for its portrayal of childhood and feminism, the elements of video surveillance and diabetes, and its thematic approach to mortality.

Mettā (Pali) or maitrī (Sanskrit) means benevolence, loving-kindness, friendliness, amity, goodwill, and active interest in others. It is the first of the four sublime states (Brahmaviharas) and one of the ten pāramīs of the Theravāda school of Buddhism.
The cultivation of benevolence (mettā bhāvanā) is a popular form of Buddhist meditation. It is a part of the four immeasurables in Brahmavihara (divine abidings) meditation. Metta as ‘compassion meditation’ is often practiced in Asia by broadcast chanting, wherein monks chant for the laity. The compassion and universal loving-kindness concept of Metta are discussed in the Metta Sutta of Buddhism and is also found in the ancient and medieval texts of Hinduism and Jainism as Metta or Maitri. Small sample studies on the potential of loving-kindness meditation approach on patients suggest potential benefits. However, peer reviews question the quality and sample size of these studies, then suggest caution.

The Transcendental Meditation technique or TM is a form of silent mantra meditation, developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The meditation practice involves the use of a mantra and is practiced for 20 minutes twice per day while sitting with one’s eyes closed. Beginning in 1965, the Transcendental Meditation technique has been incorporated into schools, universities, corporations, and prison programs in the United States, Latin America, Europe, and India. In 1977, a U.S. federal district court ruled that a curriculum in TM and the Science of Creative Intelligence (SCI) being taught in some New Jersey schools was religious in nature and in violation of the First Amendment. However, the technique has since been included in a number of educational and social programs around the world. The technique has been described as both religious and non-religious, as an aspect of a new religious movement, as rooted in Hinduism, and as a non-religious practice for self-development. Over its 50-year history, the technique has had high visibility in the mass media and effective global propagation and used celebrity and scientific endorsements as a marketing tool. Advanced courses supplement the TM technique and include an advanced meditation called the TM-Sidhi program. In 1970 the so-called “Science of Creative Intelligence” became the claimed theoretical basis for Transcendental Meditation. The Science of Creative Intelligence is widely seen as a pseudoscience.

– Hi Spy… Project Zorgo Members. I just want to let you know that I’m about to get promoted into a higher level of Project Zorgo. I did pay $10,000 to get to the higher level and this is what they gave me. This box here. Whoa! It’s a safe! It says Project Zorgo on it. Inside this safe is a key to get to the top of the black pyramid. Once I get there, I’m going to be one of the most powerful Project Zorgo members. Project Zorgo’s making me finish 3 challenges before they give me key to the safe. The first challenge that Project Zorgo gave me is that I have to go to the Spy Ninja safe house and take things from them. (door creaking) (door slam) – Hey did you see this? Look what I found on the street. They’re looking for a new Spy Ninja to replace you.
– Wait, what? They’re already replacing me with another Spy Ninja? – What do you care? You don’t need to be with those losers anyway. You left them, remember? – I mean, it’s going to be hard for us PZ members if they have more Spy Ninjas. – Hey, why don’t we call this number and play a prank on them? Hello, Spy Ninjas? Why did the chicken cross the road? To take down the Spy Ninjas! Ah ha ha ha. – That was really funny PZ member … so funny. – I thought so. All right enough of this, it’s time for your first challenge. You need to go into the safe house. You gotta get the stun stars from Chad, the lie detector from Daniel, and place security cameras all over the safe house so Project Zorgo can always be watching the safe house.
– Got it, got it! – Well get out of here, go! – Before I start the mission, I’m going to give this number a call right here and see what the Spy Ninjas are up to without me. That’s me! They block out my face! This could be you? No one can replace me. I’m going to leave them a voicemail now. Hey, my name is John. My skills are sleeping in late, I like to lie down and eat a lot, and I like to sleep. Can’t tie my shoes, I trip a lot. Oh, that kind of sounds like Regina. I can’t work computers really well.
Okay call me back, bye. Let’s make our way to the safe house, guys. All right guys, I’m back at the safe house. My old door, welcome home! My former home. It’s kind of bittersweet being back here. Luckily, I have a key. Wait, this doesn’t fit? What the heck? My key doesn’t fit anymore! Did they really change the lock? I’m one of the original Spy Ninjas. I can’t believe they moved on already. It’s only been like a week. It really is over, isn’t it? But you know what? I’m still a spy and a good spy knows how to pick locks. Here’s my lock picking kit. I got in! I’m in you guys, I don’t see Daniel, Chad or Regina right now. I gotta go set up my … (dropping sound) No one heard me. They must be sleeping. In the day, though. Okay, I got to go set up my first camera. I see there’s still dirty dishes in the sink. Regina, Daniel and Chad, they don’t know how to do anything.
See this plant is almost dying. No one’s been watering it. (footsteps) They’re here! I’m going to hide in this cupboard. – Guys, we need to talk about tomorrow. It’s Spy Ninja tryouts. – Did they say Spy Ninja tryouts? They’ve already found some candidates to replace me? – We’ve got three candidates coming. They left voicemails and a phone number. – We know who they are now? – Yes, I know who they are. We’ve gotta have some good challenges for them to really test them out. – Yeah we can probably do like a lie detector thing. – We gotta test their ninja moves. – And maybe we’ll do like a tiny Spy Ninja challenge. – Yeah. – Yeah. ’cause they’re replacing Vy, we need a new tiny Spy Ninja. – They’re going to have them do challenges? Whoever they found, I just know they’re not going to pass it. They can’t replace me! I’m irreplaceable. Look at all of them. Chad’s backpack is wide open. Regina, her shoes are untied. And Daniel, his shirt’s clearly dirty. – Have any of you guys seen my CWC wristband? – Uh…no, you need it? – I would like it but I’ll look for it.
– Let’s just all get ready for Spy Ninja training tomorrow everyone do their thing. – Let’s do it! – I’ll look for my wristband. – Chad’s coming this way. – All right, my wristband. – He’s looking for his wristband? It must be the CWC wristband that’s in the Spy Ninja Essential Kits. He’s always misplacing things. He can’t find anything without me. – Hey Vy, where’s my … Oh nevermind. She always knows where I put my stuff. – I think he’s getting closer. I hope he doesn’t open this one. It’s gonna be kind of awkward. (dramatic music) – No, no, no, no … No, no, no, no Wait, I don’t hear him anymore. Maybe Chad left? His backpack’s open. That’s where he keeps his Stun Stars. That’s what I need to get. I think the coast is clear. I’m able to get the Stun Stars out of Chad’s pocket, I think I need to climb up into the vents I’m going to get to higher grounds, look down, and get a string, reel it up.
I need to get to the vents inside of the laundry room. (gasp) I think that’s Daniel. – Is this a door? Oh … – He’s doing his laundry. I don’t think he knows how to do it because I always do his laundry for him. – Take this off. Ummmm. – Did I just see him put his white lie detector shirt mixed in with all the colors? I told him, you need to separate the colors from the whites. – Hello? Hello! Regina! Regina! I need help! – I don’t know if she’s going to know. I did her laundry also. – What, Daniel? I don’t know how to turn the washing machine on. Aw, this is the dishwasher. – No, Daniel, this is the washing machine. I think you just need to put it on, press this button, and then that button. – You’re messing up! It didn’t! Nothing happened, Regina. – I don’t know, I’ve never done the laundry. – I know, Vy always used to do it. I feel like a complete dweeb.
– Well, I don’t know, I don’t know how to help you. – You’re going to have to help eventually. I don’t know, I just don’t know. – They’re leaving, I got to go get to the vents. Wait, this is my Spy Ninja backpack. I’m going to take my Spy Ninja backpack with me. It’s the shirt that Daniel always wears when he uses the lie detector test. Project Zorgo wanted the whole entire kit so I gotta take this with me.
He left his phone in the washer! How’d Daniel miss this start button right here? I’m just going to help him out and start the load for him. Okay, got to put this down. The vents are up here. 3 … 2 … 1 … (screams) Back to these vents again. I gotta get those stun stars. Oh he’s not in this room. Wait, there’s Chad. Oh he’s practicing his ninja moves. He’s definitely the best ninja out of the group but not very good at closing things because his backpack is still open. – This used to be Vy’s. – The extendable will staff, that’s mine! Maybe he misses me! – She’d go hi-yah! – I’m going to lower this down. – Like that, I see. Little bit of this! Little bit of that! Little bit of hey Project Zorgo! Whack! – To the left a little bit… – Whack! Whack! – He needs to stop practicing his ninja moves. Yes, yes, good thing.
The ninja stars are magnetic, so my magnetic end is going to attach the ninja stars. So I just need to be really precise about this. (dramatic music) Lift this baby up. Yes, got it! (ninja fighting sounds) All right guys, got the ninja stars. Mission is complete. Let’s get out of the vents. Let’s get out of here quietly and safely. – Hey Mister Bear, time to get your leg back together. Time to do surgery on you, Mister Bear. We’re going to be okay with Vy’s sewing kit. We’re going to get you back to life, bud. – She’s trying to sew Mister Bear back with my sewing kit. I left it for her so she can work on Mister Bear. – There’s nothing … ow! I don’t know really what to do with it. – But it doesn’t really seem like she knows how to do it. – Tomato? Why does she need a tomato? I don’t get it! – She thought it was a tomato! It’s actually a push pin, you know you can put your needles in it.
– Maybe I’ll just do something with the needle. Just poke a hole or something? It’s working, it’s working! – (groan) that’s not how sewing works. You need some thread, not just needles. I mean, I sewed back his head last time and now he’s missing a leg. Mister Bear’s been through some battles. While Regina’s doing that, look where I’m at. It’s her secret room.
The room that nobody knows how to get in. And nobody’s still asking her. I don’t know why they wouldn’t let me keep my secret alone. I’m gonna try and find out what’s in her secret room. – Get out of my stuff! – Oh my gosh! What was that? – Who’s over here? Hello? Chad? Daniel? I know one of you guys tried to get into my secret room. Hello? – Mister Bear, you poor thing. You’re still injured. Regina hasn’t taken care of you. I’ll take care of you Mister Bear. All right guys, I still need to set up this last camera here at the safe house. I gotta find a good place to do it. (camera drops) Luckily, no one’s in here right now. I’m in the bathroom. I’m going to place this up on top of the doorway in the bathroom looking outside of course not in the bathroom, gross. While I’m in the bathroom, I know where Chad usually puts his little wristband.
Yeah, here it is. Wait, shh… I hear someone. It’s Daniel. He’s by the laptop. I can’t tell if he has his lie detecting kit with him or not I gotta get a little closer here. – Hey Spy Ninjas, it’s me Daniel, I am trying to upgrade my lie detector. Just in case I have to put the newest Spy Ninja member through a lie detector test, I want to make sure it’s working better than ever before. It’s that the lie detector? That’s what I need to get from him. He’s wearing it in his hand right now. That’s going to be really difficult to get it off of him. – You know what, I have an interesting idea here. In fact, maybe it’s an amazing idea. I think I can get the lie detector to predict the future. Watch this, you ready? – Did he say he’s turning his lie detector into a fortune teller? That’s impossible! That’s ridiculous, Daniel! You can’t do that! – I am going to have $5 million dollars one day.
False? Must not be working. Let’s try another question. – Five million dollars? I hope you get that one day Daniel, just work hard, keep uploading YouTube videos, I think you’ll get there. – One day, I’m going to be the strongest boy in all of Las Vegas. – Oh geez, he’s asking another question? He’s probably going to have like a laundry list of questions. Gotta come up with a plan here. What does he like? Oh, I know … Fortnite. I still have Daniel’s phone. He left it in the washing machine. So I’m going to request to play a game with him. Request sent. – Let’s see what the lie detector said. (beep) Oh, what’s this? Multiplayer request for Fortnite. Someone wants to play with me on Fortnite. I guess I can hold off on this for now. I’m always down for a Fortnite battle. Let’s accept request. I’ll resume lie detector test later. Fortnite battle royale, no problem. – Ready? Okay, where’s Daniel. There he is, I’m going to take him down.
Yes! It was so easy you guys! – I didn’t say I was ready yet! Ugh! I practice every day and I’m still not good. – He’s rage quitting right now. Look at him pouting around. – You know, I’m just too good in real life in battle royale. That’s why I didn’t do good in Fortnite battle royale. (buzzer) The washing machine is on? The dryer’s on too. What? – He’s leaving, he’s leaving. Okay this is my chance. I gotta go get that lie detector. Gonna take the whole laptop with me here. Okay, I’m going to give Daniel his phone back, I don’t need it. I have everything I need now. So it’s time to leave quietly and sneakily out of here. – Ohhhh … what? – Daniel. – It’s clean. Someone did the laundry for me. Chad! Hey Chad, Regina! Regina, did you? Look … it smells amazing! The laundry started working all of a sudden. Did you do it? – I didn’t do it, I wouldn’t do the laundry.
Wait, wait! I just remembered something. Did you do this? – What? – Stay there! (door slams) Did you sew Mister Bear’s leg back? I mean, you didn’t do a great job but it’s back, it’s attached! – What the heck? I didn’t sew his leg back. – I didn’t do any of this. Maybe Chad did it? – Chad! – Chad! – Yeah! – Did you do the laundry? – No, I didn’t do the laundry. – Did you sew Mister Bear’s leg back? – No, it wasn’t me. Well speaking of finding things, did you find my wristband? Cause someone put it up there, and it wasn’t there before. – No I didn’t do that. – Nope, me neither. – That’s odd. Prepare for the Spy Ninja test. – Yes, I’ll get on it. – Everyone’s gone. I think I have everything I need. So it’s time to exit. Goodbye safe house. Goodbye Spy Ninja’s, it’s been real. I’m back at the basement in headquarters. I have everything they wanted. I’m ready to present it. Here! Everything you need is in that backpack. – Everything’s in there. – Yes. – Let’s check this out. PZ700, congratulations! You have completed a first challenge.
For your second challenge. Go down the hall, take a right, and then your second left, go into the elevator, and go all the way up to the top. There you will reach, the next highest level of Project Zorgo. Okay, all right, I’ll do it. Guys here is the elevator right here. I hope Project Zorgo is not lying to me and this elevator is actually going to take me to the top of the black pyramid. (ding) It’s opening! It’s open! (ding) The elevator, it’s just going up! It’s going up! It’s actually going up! Oh my gosh, I can’t believe it! We’re going to the top you guys! – Vy Qwaint, are you ready for your next challenge? Your 72 hours stuck in an elevator starts now. – What? I’m here by myself? .
