You can kind of see it, right there we go. So, yeah. That's the first time we've ever seen it do that. Are you getting water up down in there then? Yeah. All right guys, so we're back at this one with the defrost clock, so what's going on now? No longer is it freezing up. This video is brought to you in part by TrueTechTools, quality tools, essential support. All right guys, so we've got a lot of issues going on in this restaurant. I think we got some water leaking, all kinds of craziness. So let's go ahead and see what we got going on. It's pretty new to me. Well, they made the drain go up and back down again and I don't see any water in your pan down there. Should drain down, chances are they've probably dropped something. All right, so we've got a drain hose there. It kind of comes down, it loops back there, there. I'm going to blow through the hose first and then blow through that drain. We've got some gunk out.  Yep, right down in there. Now once that's done doing that, we'll go ahead and blow it out one more time. What we'll use there is just a Gallo gun there. Looks like it's about done draining. That are plugged up again. We'll blow it out one more time. The air filter's pretty clean. We usually just use a wire tie and hold it. What's going on? We're getting a lot of water and kind of see it. Right there we go. So yeah, that should help out quite a bit.  That one's pretty well secured. So it may just be an accumulation or some sort. Either way, we're good to go. I think we just wipe that out and then it'll be fine. Set 34, let's go to 35. All right, so we've got this all cleaned up. Got the water there cleaned up. Swim back to reading, let's hit the set. Set is 35 now. That'll swing up to 39 and back down again. Hopefully it'll be fine. We just want one degree. Maybe that'll give it a little bit. Yeah, there, just kick back on. That may give it a little extra headway there. Let's see, may not make a difference. Biggest thing was drain was plugged which I'm sure will happen again. Coming out of here, I believe. Are you getting water up down in there then? Yeah. So we're gonna have to put it into a defrost then to get it to liquefy. Then we can see if we can get it to drain out. Chances are, it's probably froze. What else do you got? Was it leaking out of the bottom of the pan here? I haven't even looked at it actually. That looks like ice buildup. Okay, so it goes from that cooler right into a freezer. That's not a good idea. So what are we doing to make sure that don't freeze? What in the world? It's been installed for quite a while. So, no, it's not like this yesterday outside. How did it freeze outside? I'll show you. And it can because of the humidity being as high as it is. This gets below 32. That's the first time we've ever seen it do that. So that's the cooler then. Okay, yeah, the cooler shouldn't freeze up like that. Right, that's what we thought. The other one wasn't doing it though? No. Currently it says 12, which we're really at about three something. Cyclast is full. We're running a 15 degree evaporator, 16 degree evaporator. Let's put it into a pump down. Let's see if that's solenoid maybe is not stopping. We waited for a little bit and it has changed position. We're still running right around 18 degree evaporator. Don't feel like we're flooding back or anything. Let's go ahead and put it into a defrost. That's pretty, ooh. That's not very pleasant to turn. I wonder if by chance that's sticking. Well, obviously not because it rotated on something. No, we just told it to go into a defrost. It's not pumping down yet. It's taking a sweet time. See if it's still got power to that coil. Easy, cheap trick, done this multiple times. Can't believe I didn't think of it sooner. As you can see right there, zero amps come over to this one. Say 18, it really obviously an amperage. All it's doing is picking up the magnetic field. We're still not pumping down very quickly. It's finally dropping. Don't know if we just need new insulation. If it's a malfunction, was the TXP flooding back? I mean, I'm not real sure. There it's pretty going down pretty fast. Come on, clickity click. Wow, right off at one pound. And it's holding there. So that's the other thing. We wanna make sure that it's actually holding. I'm not sure. She said she had ice out here and she's saying that it's never seen that before.  Still holding there. Just timed off defrost. So let's go ahead and pick it back out.  It ain't wanting to rotate. I don't know.  Okay, let's say it didn't go into defrost and it just started to freeze up. I could see that. Coil would start to freeze. Then it just dropped and dropped in temperature because you had no airflow across it. I could see that as being a possibility. As you can see right now, I'm literally, I'm about ready to strip the gears out to do it. We're gonna replace this clock. I'm gonna guesstimate that's probably what's going on. Right now, I think that's gonna be the smartest bet for that. It's right now, I'm gonna side glass this full. Clock was tracking, but if it's not rotating by hand freely, that's obviously not right. And right now it's not acting up. So it could have very easily not gone into a defrost and they are not able to see behind the evaporator to know whether or not they've seen frost behind it. So we're just gonna change the clock. I have the same clock that they've got up here. They're neat because you can do different defrost at different times, but honestly, that's usually not needed. These things here are tried and true and I have almost no problems. And these things last 10 plus years. These things here, eh, not so much. But we're gonna switch them over and it's a little cheaper. So let's go ahead and kill power. We've already pumped it down. Let's verify that we ain't gonna get shocked. Zero volts, nothing, nothing and go to ground. Ooh, 15 volts. Yeah, the problem is we've got probably 480 in the building and so we're probably getting some stray. Yeah, not getting shocked. It's stray voltage. It's an induction into it. That's where you need your low, low impedance meter. I picked this meter up kind of cheap. We're gonna go ground to a terminal there. 17 volts. We're gonna go to low impedance or low Z. Now I go to it, nothing. Watch this, I'm gonna leave it right like that. 17 volts. You can also use that to trigger GFIs. So whenever I'm in 480 volt area, the induction of the high voltage wires running in the same conduit as other wires can induce a voltage into it just like a transformer. We're gonna go ahead and just change that clock like I was playing on to, but that's a good example of low Z feature. I'll put that in there like that. This is out here in a parking lot area. So a lot of traffic comes in from semi and drive through people. There's a lot less problems with this. They not agree with it, but I'm all about less problems. All right, keep it right on. This came up. Let's go ahead and throw this into a, I'm also gonna go into its first defrost here and just look at that. And we're about ready for four o'clock anyway. And trigger. All right, let's go see what the cooler temperature is right now, cause we're up into defrost at 38. Let's check back side of this coil too. I'll look at here and keep it clean, except for when you get that on there, that's gonna have an effect on how well air flow goes through. And we're getting a little bit dirty. Definitely getting a little bit dirty there. I could use a good cleaning. It shut off at zero to three pounds. Okay, it is off. It's in defrost. More I'm thinking about it. We're just gonna go ahead and stick with the 45 minutes area that they're used to. That way it doesn't cause any nuisance to where they might have. There's something wrong also with the 3D frost. And the fact that the coil's actually not frozen kind of makes me not want to go any longer and just stir up potential calls for no good reason. Looks like we're set about 35 there on the temperature. That coil, the more I look at it, it looks like they've got something's eating into the aluminum coil. It's actually eating it. I never noticed that from hamburger and sausage type meat, but maybe sausage has got some weird fat to it. It's causing a problem. I didn't move that out from underneath there. It is covered up, but I didn't want to brush that off with that meat underneath there. Still a little surprised by this drain line that comes across and goes into that freezer. It's got to have heat tape on the other side, but usually you bring the freezer into the cooler and drain it out. Or most of the time we'll go right outside wall, but I think this is a brick building. Wait a minute here. So the insulation goes straight up. Yeah, so it goes right out. So the line set wouldn't be causing dripage all the way over here. I'm confused. I am not real sure. I mean, our coils are clean. The clock's definitely wrong, so let's try that first. Let's go look at this cooler. Got a lot of when you got 50 things wrong. They say they're keeping these coils clean, which is good. This is one of the weird ones that they put a solenoid on it. You've got the drain coming down right back here and I got a drip. So when you have no water down here in the drain pan, you're obviously not going to defrost very often. And as warm as it is, it should have been able to do it. Okay, these doors are all whopper-jalled. That's not gonna help it not freeze up. Need new door seals. That's garbage. That will get you sighted by the health department. Need at least one new door seal and there's the defrost clock right there. Click by click. Yeah, I replaced this clock or the thermostat. I forget when. There we go. So it just completely stops. To me, it looks like the pan has been having problems defrosting. I would say a lot of this could be from the extra moisture that's gonna be from the seal being ripped and then the fact that the drain is probably plugged. So let's run for a little bit and see if we can blow it out. Well, let's have the defrost and see if we can get this drain line apart and blow it out. There's right here the drain heater and the solenoid that's coming through here now. You see the drain heater right there? That feels warm to me. So that's a good thing. I think it's working. Now we'll go ahead and we'll blast Samaritan one and we'll blast Samaritan the other. You can see a little bit of clump here. Let's go ahead and blow it out. It could be having issues with defrosting if not working too or we could have a heater now. And a little bit of dripping. That's a good sign. So yeah, there are now a nice screen. So we know we're draining now. We'll go ahead and hook it back up. That's the way it was for the grid walling. I would have been better off if it had the drain straight down, but I would have put it in the way and changed the way it got screwed with and stuff like that. Had to use the pliers there to force it up in there so the little heater is down and down in there. This should fill up, which it already is. You can see the water right there at the top. Okay, it's draining. That means the defrost heaters are working and the drain's clear. All right, use some hyper cleaner here on this. Got a pan down here to catch it. Non-toxic, so we don't have to worry about it creating any major issues, but that's going to get that nasty grease off there that they've got floating around here. It just shut off from the defrost. I've got some water here and the sprayer. Gonna put that in and plug this thing. Put this right here. We'll get this thing rinsed out here real quick with some hot water. Looks like we got our pretty dove on it. There's a couple stains in there, but grease never wants to come out. You can see the water coming out. It's clean. We got the fan blade all cleaned up. All the crap's off of it to the most part. A couple little spots here and there. We're gonna try this. See how it goes and it kind of goes from there. Break that up and clean that out. But they really need to open it up and drain it out. That's all I'm gonna tell them to do. They just need to open it up tonight, leave it open, doors open and completely clean this out in the morning and then put the food back in it. Really, like I said, we're gonna order that gasket and that's gonna wrap that up. We'll come back and we'll double check things when I come back and we'll see if that took care of it and if it did, great. And if not, we'll investigate further. All right guys, so we're back at this one with the defrost clock. So what's going on now? No longer is it freezing up. So the defrost clock must have taken care of the line set but they were complaining that the freezer here was kicking on and off and one of the other employees at one of the other shops over there said they heard it acting funny. So check the clock or check the pressure switch. It's a little out of whack. So went ahead and adjusted my cut-in first. Around here, we usually go for about 20 to 23-ish. Went ahead and threw it in defrost, pulling 13 amps there with the heater and the compressor both running. Contact here's a little bit pitted.  I never have liked it when everyone likes to wait until like 16 things are broke because they don't wanna pay a trip out. They just pile on the work. So you gotta focus on multiple things at one time. And so you gotta like balance that with how many things you need to tell them about just because it's like you feel like you're taking them to the cleaners like some of these sales guys do. Right now it's off and right at about three, four pounds. Looks like my time clock here is running just fine on it.    I don't know if I'm really too horribly worried about it cause I mean it's pumping down pretty easy. That's a lot faster than the other one did. You can just tell the valves are probably taking a dump. Now if you had any residual when you leak by that would cause it to come back up right away and then trip out. Sorry about that wind noise there. We got the wind sock on there now. So it's holding there. I'm not horribly worried about that. What I'm gonna do now is we're gonna pour some water in the drain line. I had already vacuumed the drain line out to see if we could get any plugs out. I think what's happening, I didn't notice or didn't pay close enough attention cause you really gotta decipher what people are trying to tell you. If you don't ask the right questions, you're not, you're gonna assume things and it's not what they're wanting you to, they're not what they're trying to tell you. So you've gotta, you gotta question them really, really good and ask multiple qualifying questions. That way you're on the right path and that's my fault for not doing that. So let's go inside and pour some water in that drain. I put the freezer into a defrost. That way it's back on time and that it will help warm up the drain a little bit more cause it's gonna be quite, you know, blowing the cold air on it. Not that it really should make much of a difference. All right, so we got us some really hot water here. Let's go in there and see what we can do with this. The tee right here is so they could run the heat tape down through the center. So the heat tape goes this direction and goes that direction. You can see that thing red on the thermal imager just fine. I don't wanna pour too much water in there just because I don't want it to overfill. I'm gonna go in there like this, I'm gonna hook it and pour it in. That way it doesn't spill over the edge and everything else. Yep, there it is. It's leaking down there. See just what little water I poured in there it's already leaking.  That's what sucks when they do it like this. And they went ahead and screwed that on there. So that's not gonna be very good. So there's a look. Just kind of sitting and getting leftovers. Okay, I'm just gonna pound it down in it. I did not glue it. I could put a cap over it right now. I'm going to see if I can cut that over there. I got a union right there. You can see the drain line looks about half nasty and plugged up. It really probably needs to come down and you need a new drain line. I put that so the black O-ring will show that direction. That way you'll see if you lose it or not. I don't know if I'm gonna leave this on there so I'm afraid it may not drain well with it on. But for right now it's good enough so I can get this thing blown out. And it's already out of defrost. Okay, we've got that right there. What they do is they run the drain heater down through that T right there and it goes on out. Well, you've got another T right there. And that very likely could blow stuff all over the place.  I should have never ran it that way, my opinion. Wasn't a whole lot of other ways to do it.  There really is no other way than to have came out through here and drain out over there, which would have been probably the smartest thing to do. Just came out, but it would have been a floor drain over there. And there's not, so what do you do?  It did blow some up through here. Luckily it's just on the back wall. Let's go ahead and pour some water in and see what we got. I suppose what we could do, blast the other direction too, but like I said, I had already had the vacuum cleaner on it first. We're gonna give it the whole pot. One thing that means it's probably piling into the freezer. All right, we're gonna go ahead and try hitting it from the other direction. Look at that, lucky lucky. I'd say we got her loose. What'll happen again? I guarantee it will. Is it working for now? Yeah, I was gonna flush the 11P out of it. All right, just pour a bottle or another one of those through there. Let's watch this again. We're gonna get nothing inside these boxes. It just mainly splattered on that wall. So it just looks bad back here. And I don't wanna leave it like that and have somebody call in on you if you.  Got her all cleaned up, threw away the box, put it in that bowl there.  I don't know what else you could've done. That's probably gonna wrap this one up. I'm still waiting for the door seals on the reaching freezer yet, but short of that, that's about it. So good to go, guys. Enjoy the video and if you wanna see more like it, give it a thumb. Till next time, we'll see you on the next one later.


So following on from question four, we'll have a look at question five, which is an extension from our question two program. So hopefully you saved that one. So we've practiced falling down, we've practiced moving a green rectangle or a big cross down the screen, which will also help you with your assignment. But now we want to improve that so that whenever we click a space on the screen, then the shape will start there and start falling from that position. And again, just like what we talked about in question four and five, we want to be wary of whether we use a conditional or a mouse pressed function because we know now that the functionality is different. So we need to keep an eye out on that. So I have my program from the second question. So it's just a simple green rectangle or a square falling down. I think some classes I talked about this here, some classes I didn't. So I'll just explain that as well. So we've got our increment here. So every time draw runs, the Y position variable up here is incremented by one. So we say Y position is now equal to itself plus one. So every time it will increase, but there are some shorthand ways of writing this which makes your code a little simpler, a little neater.  So Y pos plus plus just adds one to that variable. Say if you wanted to do Y position is equal to Y position minus one. Instead of writing that, you can go minus minus which is super handy. Another thing that you can do, say if it's Y position is equal to Y position plus five. So you want to plus a number other than one. There is a way to do that instead of plus plus, it's plus equals five. And that's the same with minus. It's the same with multiplication, with division. So there's lots of different ways to increment or do the opposite with your code. And it's good practice to start using things like these because that will come in handy when we're writing for loops. So yeah, so we'll just start from here. So this was our base code from question two. So now we want our shape to appear every time we touch the screen. So we look here and if I click over here, green shape should stop falling there and it should reappear up here. So that means that we want our mouse pressed function. And if you watched the question for video, then we know that we want the mouse pressed function and not the mouse press conditional because otherwise it will drag. And what do we want to do every time we press the mouse? What we want to do is remove the previous rectangle from the screen and we can do that by putting a background over the top. So that's the first thing. And we want to have our rectangle appear where mouse X is. So that means that with the Y position, we want that Y position variable to be updated to the current mouse Y position. But we also want our X coordinate to change as well. So it's not always going to be width divided by two. We want that to update if we click on the screens. That means that we want to introduce a new variable. So I'm going to introduce a new variable up here called X pose, X position. And it's initially going to be width divided by two. So update this one here as well. And so every time I press the mouse, it should update the X and Y position of that rectangle. So when I press play here, we can test this out. Oh, so I've made a mistake here. What have I done? Ah, okay. That was a silly mistake, but it's a good mistake to point out to everyone because you might find this in your assignment as well. So in the conversation between processing in the compiler and things like that, we know that, or so far we know that the first thing we do is set up is run and then drawer is run and it loops around. But before all of that, our global variables are initialized. So these two are global variables. So what's happening is this one is initialized, then this one is initialized, but at this point in time, setup hasn't run and the default size of our screen, if we don't say or specify the size of our screen, the default size is 100 by 100. And because this is run before setup, at this stage, processing thinks that our width is 100 because we haven't run setup yet, which says that size is 400, 400. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to declare my variable up here so that it's global and it's accessible everywhere, but then I'm gonna update its value inside setup once I've said what the screen size is. So I'm gonna go down to the bottom of setup and I'm gonna say my exposition should now be width divided by two, because at this point in my code, the width has been set to 400, okay? So that should fix that bug, yep. And now when I click, beautiful, it follows there and that's exactly the effect that we want. We'll just make that a bit bigger. And yeah, that's our end code.


Hey curlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee Today and today I'm going to be doing a braid takedown video. I've done this once before and surprisingly you guys really enjoyed that so I thought hey I have braids, might as well do it again. Now for those of you that follow me on Instagram you know that this takedown is a little bit or sweet because I only had these for barely two weeks and last time I had them for at least a month but I am going to be doing a curly hair event tomorrow so I kind of need my curls back for the curly hair event and I know many of you surprisingly said that you would still love me even without my curls but I mean it's kind of my job you know I have to have curls it's like being a plumber and showing up without a plunger it's like what are you doing? But here we go I went with blonde braids this time they're pretty long and I added synthetic curls to the bottom of them so it was a little heavier than I thought. This is how long they are they're very Beyonce-esque and I'm going to miss them. Alright let's do this so I read my comments from my last video and a lot of you guys were really bothered by the fact that I didn't start from the back of my head and work my way up. I don't know why it matters if we're taking them all out anyways so why you mad? You know we're going to do it your way okay that's what we're going to do today. Alright now we're going to cut off wherever we know our hair is not so if you know your hair is not this long go for it.  Okay I'm going to play it real safe and I'm going to cut from right here. None of this is mine yet it's long but it ain't that long. Wow I could have cut a lot higher I really tried to give myself more credit than I need it. Oh this is my hair there it is the dark piece. Oh yeah we could really see my hair now oh wait we got to do a time check just kidding. Alright it is currently 6.30pm alright 6.30 is our start time I'm going to start a little timer too just in case. Now we're clocked in let's see how long this takes me oh that's the fun part when you could just pull the rest off and there are all my inches. One braid down about 49 to go. So let me read some of the questions you guys had on Instagram. Do braids hurt is there a lot of tension on your head? The first day it can hurt if you don't tell the braid or not to do it too tight they might do it too tight and your head is just going to be like real stiff depends on how often you do styles to your head I don't think that I am tender headed but I also never put my hair up like it's down 90% of the time so this time I forgot to say please don't do it that tight so the first day it was pretty tight and it kind of hurt to sleep because I couldn't put it up so just make sure you tell your braider not to do it too tight if you're worried about that. Boop another one how long does it take to take out your braids we're about to find out is it normal for your scalp to hurt like a bunch not sure if she meant to say bunch um it can hurt once again if you do it too tight I actually noticed that I did get a little bit of a rash this time if the braids are done too tight around like your scalp like this area or back behind the ear you could get a little bit of a rash I thought I was gonna die then I just googled it and I saw it's a pretty normal thing with braids so I did get a little bit of like a rash right around here because it was pulling on my skin too tight it probably would have been better if I treated it with like Neil's Born or something but it didn't happen until I was in Aruba and I didn't have anything on me but I kind of just went away on its own and now that I'm taking it out like I'm sure it's gonna be fine how do you deal with an itchy scalp I would recommend adding some type of essential oil to your head at night or in the morning whatever it feels itchy I also oh such a satisfying thing I also got this thing from Shea Moisture I wonder where it is I have to find where I put it but in my last braided video I showed you guys a lot of Shea Moisture products that were made for braiding and they actually have an anti-itch drops but otherwise you could just apply oils and just make sure you wash your scalp with your normal shampoo so you don't get any type of buildup boom oh we are moving we are moving and grooving does the way your braids get annoying are they heavy this time they did feel a little heavy I did go longer and I got this medium size so they're kind of thick I wasn't able to put my hair into a ponytail because it was just too heavy at night there were a little much you know it's not easy being Beyonce much respect to her now that I've experienced this long Beyonce hair it's really heavy when they get wet so when you go swimming or in the shower you're like they are pretty heavy so keep that in mind if you're not getting in the water you'll live edges I have very fragile edges and my scalp gets sore on that area can I leave them unbraided you should not be braiding your edges you do not want to braid your baby hair that is way too much tension and you will lose them there's plenty of photos of like what not to do with braids and that's always one that I see so these little hairs right here this is what she left out because that's gonna be way too tight so yes leave out your edges so you can have some how long do braids last it depends on your upkeep and how well you take care of them I knew that I had to take these out eventually like it hit me while I was in Aruba so I kind of stopped taking care of them because I just was no longer motivated but if you do wrap them with the scarf at night it'll keep it less frizzy if you're not swimming that much it won't be as bad so just try not to do too much manipulation on your scalp the way they don't look frizzy and as long as they don't look bad you can keep them for as long as you want I would say at least a month how damaging our braids braids actually aren't damaging they're actually going to be protecting your hair and kind of giving your hair a break so this isn't my little vacation for me and a vacation for my curls especially for those of you that straighten your hair all the time or attempted this is a good way for you to not be tempted to straighten your hair so it's protecting your curls from you and the straighteners did you braid your own hair what kind of braiding hair is best for curly hair there's not really a best braid hair for curly hair but there are better types of braiding hair that you could use you want to use ones that are pre-stretched that's usually what braiders like to use because it's already stretched out it's easier for them to use and you also want to keep in mind that some brands I've heard hasn't happened to me yet you have to wash the hair first or it's gonna be itchy so I've heard that there's some brands that make people itch and then they want to take it out so that's not good please leave a comment down below let us know what hair brands not to buy if you've ever bought a certain brand that makes your hair itch but if you want to see the braided hair that I bought watch my previous video where I'm showing you how I got all these installed which is in my braided playlist how do you wash your braids that's another video that I just recorded if you guys want to watch that one I will make sure to link it down below as well how much do braids cost the cost of braids can range between 100 to 200 plus dollars keep in mind that someone might be cheaper but they might take longer so I mean time is money so I think I rather pay a little bit more to get the job done faster but obviously do whatever you can afford how long does it take to get braids once again depending on the person who does it I would say a minimum four hours maybe all the way up to like nine or ten you straighten your hair before you put in braids no very good question the answer is no I also did a video on how I prep my hair before I got braids don't let braids be an excuse to straighten your hair people there's no point in doing a protective style if you're gonna damage your hair before you protect it okay do braids help with hair growth I mean I guess they do in the sense that you're not manipulating your hair so you're kind of just letting it do its thing your hair is gonna grow regardless you kind of just notice it more when it's in braids because you could see it growing from your roots instead of just on a normal day-to-day but because you're not like brushing or combing your hair every day or adding heat to it it's going to protect it in that sense and that could help it grow because you're literally just leaving it alone and letting it do its thing do they damage or break off curly hair once you take them out well you're about to see but what you're going to see is not breakage it's just the hair that we normally shed every day but you're getting it all at once so because the dead hair hasn't been able to fall each day like it normally does you're gonna see two weeks of hair shedding that should have already fallen but nothing to panic about totally normal I want to get braids but I don't want people to get mad because I'm Hispanic oh that's a very good topic that might be one that I'm gonna open up to the comment section a lot of people ask can other ethnicities get braids or is it cultural appropriation I'm kind of on the fence with this one part of me is like yeah it's definitely like a black thing and I can see people getting mad but at the same time you know playing devil's advocate black people get blonde hair all the time and that's definitely a white thing so I don't know it's a tricky topic comment below and let me know what you think can anyone do it because it's just a hairstyle and us black people should appreciate that you want to you know do what we do like many things or should it just not be allowed you know can people just do what they want because it's their hair and one ethnicity own a certain hairstyle kind of have feelings on both sides but let me know what you guys think comment below can a white person get braids without it being offensive I'm Italian and Lebanese yeah once again it's a it's a gray area I have seen braids look good on many ethnicities I think I feel like it's a hairstyle and you should understand where braids came from it wasn't just like a stylish choice that black people did it's like they literally had to do braids to manage their hair because we didn't always have she moisture and certain like hair products in life so it gets real tricky y'all could do two braids guys I am moving I'm going so much faster than last time I get nervous I should see how I look with short braids let me just cut them all that's kind of cute I probably should do short braids for my next vacation because once I got wet and it was hot like I just needed them to be short that's kind of cute how often do you wash your braids only wash it when your scalp feels like you need it I don't I wouldn't recommend washing it every day because that's not what us curly people do anyways so even with curly hair we wash our hair once a week so try to just do it once a week unless you're swimming then you're gonna have to do it more after you swim how to deal with frizz at the roots the best thing for that is going to be to wrap your head with a silk scarf at night tie it around tight so everything stays nice and flat it's kind of inevitable after a certain amount of time because your hair is gonna grow you might just need to get some gel and be ready to slick down those baby hairs if things get out of control do you have to add fake hair when you get braids or can you just use your own if you have long hair or whatever length you want you could just braid your own hair but it's not gonna look the same if you want like the this type of look you have to add braided hair because his hair is going to just maintain the look longer your natural hair is gonna start getting frizzy a lot sooner alright I got through all the questions I hope that was helpful we are almost almost halfway done and I'm going pretty fast yo halfway done in under 45 minutes I'm doing much better than last time I happen to tangle anything but it doesn't feel that bad because it's only been in there for two weeks here is my pet fluffy give or take some minutes because I'm filming and had to stop and record a blow blow but wow myself what did I really do differently let's break this down so maybe my braids were thicker this time so it was a little bit easier to undo I only had them in for two weeks so my hair wasn't too like tangled in there the hair was still pretty like freshly moisturized to kind of slid off I also didn't detangle after each braid because I don't have really bad buildup I have a little bit right here see that little line that's some buildup but I didn't go through each one one at a time like I did last time I'm gonna attempt to just detangle this all at once we go see but here oh hold on I can't even grab it all the hair that was used to make my braids this is a lot this is a full animal this is a wildebeest so now let's hop on the shower and see how much hair I'm about to lose oh yes that first initial scalp massage is the best feeling ever but now I'm about to use an excessive amount of product so first I'm going to rinse off my hair rinse off my scalp try to get rid of as much as possible then I'm grabbing the not your mother's bamboo activated charcoal and purple moonstone scalp scrub the smells amazing and it's just has little tiny beads in it to really scrub down your scalp and trust me my scalp needs it then you gotta do a really good job at rinsing out all the little beads but I'm grabbing my diva curl wash day one which is a pre-slip detangler that's gonna make detangling a little bit easier and oh please excuse my makeup just washing off I'm gonna wash my face after this but as you can see the shedding has commenced don't freak out there's gonna be a lot more of that came from and I really wanted to use any and everything possible to make this detangling experience as easy as possible it still was super tangled my hair is still kind of like in the sections of the braids so I did grab a brush but I don't know it was still struggling so I grabbed a little bit more applied some to the other side even tried the tangle teaser but like it just really was a struggle so I decided to move on and cleanse my hair first so I grabbed the diva curl buildup buster if you watch a lot of my videos you know the diva curl buildup buster is one of my go-to cleansers I really like that it has a nozzle just makes it really easy to apply directly to your scalp but I'm gonna scrub dub dub to make sure I get rid of any product buildup and dandruff and hey why not while we're at it let's add another moisturizing shampoo for the lengths of my hair you can use to build a buster on your length as well but I kind of wanted to try this new shampoo and this is my briojo it's very very sudsy even though it is of course sulfate free then I'm rinsing out the wash day wonder the buildup buster and the briojo do not this very shampoo all at once and to condition I'm grabbing the mongongo oil hydrating conditioner by my yellow organics this is one of my favorite conditioners because it is very hydrating has great slip and it can be doubled as a conditioner and a hair mask so this really helped me get through everything and I'm finally finally done detangling and this is all the hair that I lost I know it looks like a lot it looks like a little too pay but once again this is just two weeks of shedding that hadn't fallen so now I'm going to let the rest of this conditioner sit in my hair do a nice deep conditioning treatment for 20 minutes using my thermal haircare heat cap and just like that I'm back to curly it is pretty nice to have my curls back the curly queen is back in her throne shout out to one and Nicole's merch but let me tell you guys what I did after the shower I applied the Deepa curl super cream which is great for moisture and then I added my deputy to you girls with curls jelly because I didn't have any time to mess around because I really needed good second day hair and then today I use the not your mother's curl talk moose and the not your mother's defining cream so in honor of my curls I threw a little welcome back party with all of my curls best friends so overall I love getting braids if I didn't have a YouTube channel about curly hair and didn't actually need my curls for my job I probably would get them more often but I do kind of treat myself to braids once a year it's a good protective styling especially if you're going on vacation for doing a lot of swimming if you know you're just not gonna have time to do your hair you just don't want to deal with humidity of where you're going I definitely recommend you try some braids if you enjoyed this video or found it

And today I will speak about the title is Cardin stone, unique medieval depictions of rural dress in Estonia. And I'll introduce two medieval stone carvings depicting fully clothed figures. I'll compare the information about the dress with archaeological sources. And the aim of this contribution is to illustrate on the basis of a case study how different sources can communicate with each other and also complement each other. The comparison with archaeological sources also helps to consider how the images correspond to the cultural reality in which it was made. I mean, again, what is the artistic part of the image and what is the real life? The questions we are considering earlier. By the way, one of the basis of the presentation is, of course, the assumption that the very important function of clothing is communication. And the sharing information about their social position and origin, for example. And the context is always important. So first I will introduce the context and I'll start with setting up the scene. Now we have heard presentations from Italy and from Asia and from Britain. And now we have moved far to the north. So Estonia is located here, near Scandinavia. And the period under study is really the 13th century. In the early 13th century, German and Danish crusades and violent Christianization took place in the area of present-day Estonia. This event marks also the beginning of the medieval period in Estonian chronology. Christianization caused the integration of the area into the political, social and religious structures of Western Europe. It meant also adopting a new faith and building, for example, churches. And the area under study is an island, Sarama, located in Baltic Sea. It is called also Ossilia or Ursula. The island of Sarama was the last of Estonian counties which adopted Christianity in 1227. It seems that the old local elite of Sarama kept their privileges and power, which is exceptional in the context of Estonia. Probably they participated also in the establishment of the first churches on the island. So I also want to say that speaking about clothing, it is important that after the conquest, ruling German minority clustered mainly in towns and mayors, they brought along European fashion. So they dressed themselves in other parts of Europe, or in other European towns at least. But rural areas remained inhabited with local people. And daily routine continued on the basis of local prehistoric traditions. And it meant also that dressing habits and making cloth remained different from other parts of Europe. For centuries. Medieval depictions of local inhabitants are almost absent in Estonia. This is because these cardstone figures are really unique. And these sculptures are in due Sarama churches, Karya and Böyden. The churches were built in various stages in the course of the 13th century. But both figurines were carved in the end of the 13th century. Art historians believe that the sculptures were made by the same group of itinerant stone masons. On the basis of technique and stylistic analysis, it has been argued that these artisans came from North Germany via Gotland. As the sculptures have been carved of local stone, of Sarama, they probably lived on spot for a while and they saw local islanders. And so they really saw these people, they were depicting. Thus the images provide opportunity not only to glimpse how people represented themselves to themselves, but also how they were represented by others to the audience. What did the foreign artisans see and what was worth highlighting from their part. And finally I'll introduce the principal actors themselves. First, Karya sculptures, these are there, illustrate the scene serving a moral purpose. According to art historians, a young man first with a married woman, her head is covered. The devil on the backside of the man indicates improper ideas, thoughts and actions. The parts of clothing are following. The woman's head is covered with the headscarf. Her shawl is fastened with a bananular brooch on the chest below. You can see a decorated apron. The man wears a hat and the shawl fastened also with bananular brooch on the right shoulder in this time. The hat has a blurry surface, so it can indicate that it has been made of sheepskin. And now secondly, Burida, this is actually the same sculpture, but this is the woman and this is the male figure. I didn't have a photo where they were both on at the same time. This is a very representative couple standing. The lady is very similar to the Karya sculpture. She's also wearing a shawl fastened with a brooch on the chest and decorated apron. Unfortunately, the headdress area is damaged and not entirely visible. But it's definite that her head is covered with something more complex than Karya lady. Karya lady had only the scarf. She's holding a drinking horn, which may be interpreted as a symbol of power. The man is wearing also a hat, but otherwise he differs from previous male figure. And especially noteworthy is his coat. I don't know how well it's visible here, but the front opening is V-shaped. It has pleated front parts and the sleeves fitted nicely around the arms, gradually narrowing towards the wrist. Similar cut has been used, for example, in Paoraneo's Scandinavia. So it's not actually a peculiar local fashion that art historians have always stressed by these figures. This is not surprising because Sarama Island and Scandinavia has a really tight context, or a long time. And of course it cannot be excluded actually that the man is from abroad. Anyway, the couple has been interpreted as being the building patrons of the church. This is another sculpture group in Karya church. And now I hope you can see the difference between the female clothing. This is completely another style, so it's more European fashion. This is sand catering. And now I will speak about the comparison with archaeological material. For the comparison, 53 other adult burials in Sarama were studied to collect information about clothing. The graves have been dated truly to the 13th century. Remarkably, more relevant finds have been collected from female graves. So the following study will focus more on them. I won't describe every grave, but only summarize very general trends. And of course, Chineses of iconographical and archaeological sources is very different. Thus the comparison is always a little bit problematic. It's not time to discuss it here long, but the archaeological sources about the dress are extremely fragmented. Usually textiles do not preserve, so we have only metal parts. And if the depiction is a full set from one moment, the archaeology gives us only scattered bits of information from numerous graves. At the same time, it reveals the variation in the costume. For example, decorated dress pins and penannular brooches often do together with chain arrangements. And belts with various hangings were used for fastening clothing items at the period. It seems that these elements have been combined freely in various ways. For example, sometimes the chains were fastened with pins on the shoulders, sometimes with brooches. And sometimes you can find one brooch and one pin in the grave. Occasionally also just one brooch was discovered on the chest. This is the most right figure. It means that it was in the similar position as depicted on the carvings. An important source for clothing in this case is decorations made of tiny spire tubes. Bound of copper alloy wire. These ornaments were widely used to adorn clothing items in the East Baltic. Already in the prehistory, but also at the beginning of the Middle Ages according to Estonian chronology. And of course the graves reveal us traces of funeral dress, which is a special occasion. And it's not about clothing that people wore during their daily life when they were alive. And it has been assumed in Estonia at least on the basis of grave finds that it's probably a festive attire. Maybe it's not Christian tradition yet, so it's a festive attire. And maybe it is at least part related with wedding costumes. Anyway it has a special meaning and a special context. In the context of present study, due to details of the costumes are worth pointing out. First it seems that benign brooches caught the eyes of the foreigners who carved the sculptures. By the 13th century the benign brooches disappeared in North Europe. But in Estonia this type lasted until the 17th century. Noteworthy it's the clear reach in the middle part of the brooches. Born by a Korean man actually and also a great woman. So the pictures are quite... I didn't have so good pictures to zoom really nicely in. And similar brooches have been sometimes also found in archaeological excavations in graves. But they are not very numerous, only rarely the reach is there. It's noteworthy because the carvings are relatively schematic. But this tiny detail has stressed again. And another distinctive feature is the apron. The decorated lower hems are in both cases clearly visible. You can see them here. And on the basis of grave finds an apron adorned with spiral tube decorations belonged to the costume of a married woman here and there in East Portick. And in Finland for example. In Saarheim such spiral tube decorations on the shin bones have been discovered as well. You can see two pictures here. It is quite clear that the details of the spiral tube decorations were not familiar to the stone carver because the artisan has actually depicted on that apron. I don't know how well you can see. But the artisan probably depicted the closest metal thing or decoration thing he knew. This apron decoration resembles more metal mounts used for example on belts. But it's quite clear that it is parallel to these spiral tube decorations actually these metal decorations that we have found from graves. Haters and shores are also emphasized but no exact parallels can be pointed out among archaeological finds. Mainly because of the preservation issues. Nevertheless some finds indicating presence of these accessories have been discovered. For example one headdress decorated with spiral tubes. And in one case probably spiral tubes are indicating something similar to the shore. It may interpret as a remains of a shore. And now some comments about the costume. There is almost no information about the main dress on the basis of grave finds. And because of that is not much, I can't compare these things. Usually only remains of belts along with items worn hanging from the waist have been discovered. It is possible to make only two remarks. First, Gariaman is using the brooch to fasten his cloak on the right shoulder. This figure up there. And in the 13th century no such brooches were found in the male graves anymore. But the earlier cremations from the 1st century contained often these kind of brooches. So maybe this figure is depicted in the old fashioned way. Or of course maybe it wasn't common to use a brooch and a shawl in the funeral clothing. Secondly, Böyderman wears something hanging from the waist. It's not possible to understand what is the exact shape of the item. But it might be a leather purse together with necessary utensils. Moreover, he's not using brooch. So he fits well together with the grave finds. And to conclude. Iconographic and archaeological sources fit relatively well together. They help to create a more elaborated context for both sources. And they also complement our knowledge about past clothing in general. The comparison with archaeological finds further proves that the aim of the stone carvers was to depict locals. It is interesting to note how they have chosen details to achieve this purpose. In the way that it was recognizable probably also to the audience. Moreover, it is a good example for illustrating clothing as a medium to express identity, social status and origin. And what is interesting for me especially is for example local female dress. With its peculiar traits, shawl, brooch, apron and probably also a headdress. Has definitely caught the foreigners eyes. And the roots of this kind of costume are in the previous century, in the 12th century already. It shows that the female dress was somehow traditional and static. And it's probably meaningful attire maybe indicated the marital status of the woman. Because similar costumes were probably worn also, were used as a funeral dress. And it also stresses that it was meaningful costume. And it was probably important in woman's life and expressed her identity in the community. At the same time it seems that the male dress was more open to the foreign influences. And they were more wearing, maybe moving around and having influences from abroad. So thank you very much.

Hi guys, welcome to my YouTube channel. I'm Shirreen. I'm a lawyer in Ontario, Canada. I discuss about Canadian immigration and Canada in general. If you like my video, please like, subscribe and share it. Hi everybody, so today I'm going to discuss some of the trips and tricks to clear your NCA exams. This is completely out of personal experience and since I gave the exams back in 2018 and I was assessed with the five core subjects and Out of them, I gave all of them in one sitting. I gave them in Delhi, so in India and you can give your NCA exams in your nearest location to what suits you. Not necessarily that you have to come and give it in Toronto. And I hope the tips and tricks help you guys. This is my strategy and I suggest you pin them down and keep revising them throughout your NCA preparation. I'm sure it's not it's a much hype exam and it's not that difficult. So, yeah, let's go. Let's first discuss about the exam. This exam, as you know, is a subjective exam. 50% is the passing mark, so anything above 50 or 50 helps you to pass. And then this exam is an open book exam, but that for sure does not mean that you can refer to the book. Your conceptality should be there. Then this exam requires you to put certain kind of time to it because the questions are so long. So each question, when you look at the question paper or the sample papers on the NCA website, which I'm going to show you, then you will know that each question is case-based. Mostly the questions are case-based and each question has a particular time assigned to it. So if you give that much time to the question, then it's good. The NCA assessors would just want you to give that much time to that particular question and not exceeding that because if you do, you're going to miss onto the paper. Always also address the key points. If you do not address the key points, then you are surely losing onto marks because what the common notion is that the NCA teacher who's checking your paper has a particular mark sheet in his hand and has the key points, key case mentioned to it. So you need to mention those points. I will tell you how to answer the question using the format and where to put your headings and subheadings. Next thing I would like to discuss is that I was assessed with the five core exam, that is the Canadian Constitution, Canadian Criminal Law, Professional Ethics, Administrative Law and the fifth one being Foundation. So I gave all of them in one sitting, but that was according to my circumstances. I was not working and I studied for two, three months and gave all the five exams in one sitting. But this is completely out of circumstances and you can see what suits you the best because do not be harsh on yourself. Just be very comfortable with the whole process. And I'm sure you can ace the NCA's then. Next thing that is very important is the syllabus. If you are aware of the syllabus, then you can start your preparation in a very defined and very controlled manner because the syllabus is so well defined in the earth. If you know it's on the NCA website, I'm going to show you. The syllabus is so well defined that it has the case mentioned to it. It has the pages from where you have to study for that particular point. So for example, Canadian Administrative Law has a topic called procedural fairness to it. So you know Baker's case is the landmark judgment on this point and they have mentioned it to you. So if you're mentioning Baker's case in your answer, then you're surely getting onto some extra points because that is what is mentioned in the NCA assessor's time sheet as I told you. After once you are done looking at the syllabus, starting about at the subject you are going to start with, I suggest you not open your material or your notes for now. What you do is you go to the past sample paper. You pick up a sample paper of the subject of your interest that you're going to start with and you first read it. So that once you start the material, you know how to maneuver your brain and read according to that. So I did this and this really helped me because in the end I realized that everything boiled down to the particular point that how you write your exams, how much you practice for your ear right, how much exam writing you practice in reality. If you are aware, the NCA also has a guide on how to answer your exam. They need to see your reasoning and your logical analytical legal skills. They want to see that you are able to address the key issues in the case. So when you have a fact-paced question or you have a long case-paced question, what I suggest is that you read the question first and later you read the fact. So in that way, once you are reading the question, you know what key points to pick up in the facts. There is also a method called the IRAC method, which is the most effective way of writing any kind of NCA exams. In fact, even the judges in Canada always write their judgments in a very systematic and organized manner and IRAC is the manner they mostly prefer to. So if you are supposed to write an answer, the IRAC method suggests you write the issue first, you write the rule then, you write the application of that rule to your facts. Application is a very important part. I'm sure the most of the marks that it carries is the application part, how you apply law to the facts given at hand, and then the conclusion. Always have a conclusion in the end. So this is the kind of a typical format that they want you to write in. This further suggests that you should write your topics in a very organized manner. The whole answer should be having many headings and many subheadings. The much organized your answer is, the much presentable it is, and the more marks you are fetching for this. Now let's talk about the next topic. The tip is the resources or the material. I suggest that I did not buy any book except the criminal manual that too I printed out a PDF since I was in India and I didn't know where to order the book from or where to get the book from. So I printed the criminal manual and I suggest I picked up some notes of Liran. I don't know if you want to make your own notes with your books, I don't whatever suits you, but initially according to me notes were sufficient, notes were detailed and you get all the chats in the WhatsApp group of NCA's and you can join all the social media groups. I'm sure the notes are circulated also, there is a lot of material that is circulated, but still it is preferable if you buy it from the source because you know there's a lot of hard work of other people also that goes into the preparation of this, so we should and should always encourage them. So I picked up my notes from Liran and some substantive material you get from other sources. But whatever notes you are reading, the first reading is very important. Only after the first reading get into discussion on the NC WhatsApp book do not get into discussion, do not even bother to answer any question, till the time you have not given it at least one full read because there is no substitute for reading in this exam and then you should also practice papers. Practice papers is the key to pass this exam. So one resource I found very helpful was the past papers in the Canadian law school exams. So I opened Peter Allard website, I'm going to share the link in the description box and I used to do that papers of the law colleges, law students here because eventually if you look at the whole picture it's nothing but you are going to give the exams that the people here gave in their universities doing their JD. So you have to try and prepare for those exams and that is your source of information also from where you know how they, how they frame questions, how they frame NC is nothing but equivalent to that. So one of the other sources I think was very helpful were me was Camille and SSC, SCC, Supreme Court of Canada judgments. I read a lot of judgments on the key points because that's that's how your brain starts functioning and you know okay how to answer case based questions here. So I can't even fail to mention that how important it is for you to write and practice exams. So once you're done with your reading, I suggest do not waste time in second reading, third reading or in any other kind of debate with yourself. Just go and start writing till the time you don't pick up a pen and you literally don't sit and give your exam, try to answer questions, analyze facts. It's not going to be a straightforward paper. So the way you analyze facts, the way key points that you mentioned, how you apply it with the law is all that matters. So in the end your practice is what will help you to succeed the most. So practice as many papers as you can and do sample papers from the NCA websites. In the end I suggest that time is the essence. So do not give any question more than what it deserves. Give it that much time as it is mentioned in the question in the bracket. They specifically mention that and if you do not know something just move on. If you stop then probably you're going to lag behind and we'll miss on to some next very important questions. So now that we are done with the discussion and of the tips and tricks of the NCA exams, I hope you find it useful and you use these strategies. It really helped me so I wanted to share it with everybody. Also if you wanted to blog about different subjects, the five subjects that I studied and the judgments and the key process and steps in each case in each subject, then I can do that. Put your comments in the comment section. Like, share and subscribe my video. And yeah I hope that now that the screen I'm sharing is also useful for you. I'm sharing the NCA screen with you guys so you can find the syllabus and the resources that I spoke about. Bye for now and take care. Stay home. Stay safe. That's all we can do for now. So this is the NCA website, nca.legal. I'll put the link in the description box. It's got everything about the exam rules policy. You just have to click on exams. Then you can go on exam outlines and samples. You have the whole syllabus. So if you click the subject, you'll get the syllabus. And I'll just open a sample exam of professional responsibility. So that's how the question paper will be. Instructions. Yeah, that's the whole paper. And this is the question. What I was suggesting was you read the question first and then you read the facts because usually the questions are very long and case-based. Yeah, so that's how the question paper will look. Now you can go and click on the resources or the schedule and check the schedule. When the exam is going to be for 2020, it's already there. On the resources to see what all is available for your help and how to answer the fact-based law questions are also, there is a guideline for this, which mentions everything. All the things that I told you, the study skills, the writing skills and about the IRAC method. It is very detailed and very helpful. I think you should read this. And only then start practicing exams.


This is TFNN, The Tiger, Financial News Network, News Update. Good morning everyone, Basel Chapman here. I come in after Tommy Jr. does his morning market kickoff show, great show. We've got the Dow at this 10 o'clock timeframe at $33,699 down 105 points. I had mentioned to my subscribers to my opening call that there's 200-period moving average that became resistance three days ago, resistance yesterday, and resistance should be resistance again today, and we reversed at $38,663 down almost 100 points from that level. The S&P, S&P is down 10 at $43,666, none of this is serious when you consider the way we've come from, but the day is young. All the selling increase, and I'll talk about that in a moment, let's just first do the QQQ. QQQ is up 34 cents, a 371.56. Part of that is HAC, that's the cybersecurity shares that they're holding very nicely, plus some others, but this is in fact a LEG, B that's extended, and very good action. Looking at the IWM, which is the Russell 2000 small caps, very ugly chart down 2.11 at 170.57. So we have to go to gold, and gold is down just a fraction at $18.86. Now what's really important about this, we put it together with the dollar, you see the dollar's running some, but this inside track, or propellant zone, which could become a repellant zone. The green line, just mini-channel in the larger up channel, this is going to be important. Why? Because look what happened with the SMH, which is a semiconductor, which is helping the QQQ. Look, it had the same channel in the weekly chart, went under it, that should have been resistance, but now we've broken just above it, which says, there's a chance that the semiconductors could rally a little further. There's resistance coming up at 153, and it's at 152.70. Let's just go to bonds, because bonds are down again, down almost a point at 112.5. Whoa, these yields, they just do not want to come down, and crude oil, crude oil coming up, crude oil is up today, because the chart says, it's kind of struggling a little bit. I'll be back for the Tiger Technicians. There's now a lot to look at today. See you in a moment, and yeah, we can forward to this show.


So, one thing that I work with is climate change a lot, of course, and just some of the statistics and numbers are kind of staggering. And if you can put that in economic terms as well, if you can frame it in dollars and cents, you're going to have the attention of a lot of policymakers a lot more effectively than if it were just numbers. Other thing we can do is simple lifestyle changes if we have the means to do so. One thing is taking reusable shopping bags to the shopping market, combining trips to the grocery store, doing simple things like that, taking shorter showers. I currently live in San Francisco, California is in the middle of a drought. We hear about water saving use all the time and not just water saving use but energy efficiency. California has great carbon emission standards and these are things that youth can get involved in and learn about and actively seek to facilitate discussion of with their governmental leaders.


Welcome to the 21 convention podcast. I'm Steve Maeda and today we have two of our most requested Podcast interviewees that is Sasha day game and James Marshall. It gets fun.  Let's get into this interview and man some awesome stuff on the way What is happening I am here with Sasha day game James Marshall the 21 convention podcast. What's happening gents? This is gonna be the most quiet it's gonna be for the next hour we just I just want to say that Well, I mean we should really just for the first time ever lost for words James over here he's feeling a little bit intimidated because as usual I'm dressed up all fancy and he just likes to take it easy And he doesn't really he doesn't really think it matters what you wear as long as you've got it really Well, I think it matters. I just haven't figured it out yet. I'm just you know, I'm working I've been modeling you for quite a while and incrementally.  Yeah, I mean we're more or less the same brain in two slightly different bodies now So, yeah, you know, we've been talking about this a lot with the different podcasts, but how does that happen? I mean, there's a certain level of influence and connection I mean, we're all working in the seduction dating realm And so there's this hyper level of empathy hyper level of connection hyper level of sexual exchange But and competition and gossip as well. Yeah, yeah, totally. That's like the ante.  I already maybe you need some social dynamics training to get You didn't get that joke.  I'll show him what I used Go ahead. You do your move. Yeah, there it was.  Yeah See three years ago James wouldn't have been that animated. No, there's no he wouldn't have done any of that He just would have been like yeah Sasha's funny. That would have been it So yeah, we just started off that way and ever since we met for the first time at actually We all met together at 2011 21 convention that's right in the bathroom and the catacombs of that Well, you know, there was that that underground hallway. Yeah, yeah, yeah Bumped and then we like me and I was like dudes. I'm really depressed my business is going down the drain sessions Like I want to get out of London. Well, no, but this is something which is is crazy because a turning point for everybody You know what you wanted at that moment what you wanted that moment turned into different things And there was like man, what am I gonna take a chance on? You know, what am I gonna do and that is so important for the roles of you know What you teach and coach and what you teach and coach could only come from that root of like, you know doubt and question within yourself in taking the chance the You know the path that didn't always look great, you know And having faith in it and I've I've even seen you guys process through that but like what what happened 2011 to 2014, you know, where'd the adventure take it? Well shitloads happened. We've we've circled the world Multiple times together and separately since then but yeah, that really was a turning point because although probably to the outside world When they're looking at our YouTube videos and stuff. They're like those guys have got it sorted. They figured it out They got chicks and fun awesome. Yeah, maybe the ideal. I mean shit You know, which was to true partially But it was also true that we were you know struggling and trying to make a living and having our own personal stuff And for me at that time that was that was the darkest time of my of my adult life really You know broken up with the love of my life and business wasn't great And I took a really big gamble going over to that convention when I was living in Australia at the time And it was one of those things we just had to step into the abyss knowing that it might not pay off Yeah, then it definitely did same exact thing for me but just different scenarios in London and Was madly in love with this girl like just completely head over heels and like the like the girl for me It was it was crazy And then I meet this guy and we have this great thing and we're just like wow This could be so much fun what we're gonna do and whatever and he's like, yeah You got to come do this, you know He's got this you're to a program where he just goes around Europe teaching these courses.  It's gonna be awesome And I'm gonna hustle and I'll bring some clients and do this thing and make money and have a great time and whatever and It came to this ultimate choice because what people don't realize is I was actually living completely illegally In England at the time. I didn't have a visa nothing.  I don't know if this was worth it for me You know because in the the immediate results, it was a big investment I mean if you look on a map the opposite side of the world, you know It's the opposite hemisphere. You know, so it's the wrong way for Australian We're supposed to go from merry old England to Australia and stay there because we've been naughty boys Yes Fuck it and jumped and I'm like Jump That's usually what attempted suicide patients do, you know, but No, but yeah, you know, it's interesting because it did work out that was a crazy Like if you just looked at the points on the map of 21 convention speeches, it would be like 2011 then 2012 London and then 2012 Melbourne There's like a huge progression man and and even for yourself too, you know, it's like 2011 London 2011 or 12 London very very big difference. Yep, you know crazy transition and think about the time that transpired in between there of You know, you talk about the hero's journey, right? I hear you guys mention it. It was a lot of pumping Yeah, people were busy doing things we were all there in the same apartment Sometimes listening to sounds anyway Beating off in the corner or You guys like giving me a round of applause when oh, yeah, I remember that there was James had a particularly good performance We won't name the country and we won't name any details But yeah, it was just an excellent show and I was screaming and it's some kind of sound of just something hitting the wall And it was so good.  And it you want to talk about awkward when you're the guy sitting outside of the room. That's the awkward master Because then you have nothing to do, you know, because you're like But my favorite thing is actually to take my condoms and then leave them in pockets I did that I did that to you When you brought that Russian girl home, and then we put the banana under your pillow I Went out and I had this basically I went to not like I'm an expert with strippers But I happen to pick up a stripper one time and she was coming over with me and they all knew she was coming over with me And then I and I come upstairs and everyone's sitting around in their underwear around the table And I'll just look over with a coffee. I had my shirt tied up like this and and Gareth Jones was in his leopard print underwear Of course, he would have Just sitting there drinking tea. We're like, oh, I didn't realize he had company. Yeah And then at some point there was a banana with a con wanted as well Yeah, and then we went and we did our thing. Well, I did that because that was the sort of thing that you would do That's exactly what I would do and I wanted to get revenge in advance in advance. Yeah That's the morphine of still looking different on the outside, but James Marshall and always adapting the Sasha prankster stuff Yeah, that's the evolution. He knows sometimes now Sasha is quiet That's right that this comes back to your very first question I was sort of trying to lead into so when we met he was depressed and quite quiet and just he was just very good at You know sexual pressure and intent, but he had this real presence to him So when I came up to him at the 21th dimension, I was like, hey man, I really liked your speech I was like crazy and I just started yapping and he just kind of went Yeah, and he was he was doing his staring trick on me and then of course throughout the years I just realized that of course, you know, even though I'm a comedian. It's fun for me I can just totally mellow out and come up to girls and just be totally sexual and more just chill down whatever and actually Through through James influence and Johnny Soporno and other people, you know as I came more into kind of loving me and accepting Who I am and just being okay with myself You know because part of that comedy was really just me proving hey look how funny and look how great personality I am part of that was you know Trying to try to find myself and after a while I just you know in this process of pick up and hanging out with all these really amazing people I just came to a point where you know, I don't have to prove shit to anyone I really think I'm a great person. I love me people love me and and I can I can just as easily be hilarious and funny Or I'd be sitting in a corner totally chilled and I'm still the same cool dude And it doesn't matter and that's a huge huge transition and in a way people it's sort of funny for me Because it's public because you can see me on YouTube going from So just being there making videos chill and chill don't like hey guys, you got to love you You got to just be you know, so it's a really big thing and it's kind of in public, you know I think that's cool. It's an interesting thing because a long time ago I mean I I started out in theater and did a lot of that and one thing that I always realized was theater people were It was just a really tough template to explore yourself But stand-up comedy more so theater you're like film actor one thing, you know, you watch it There's like some narcissism there all sort of stuff. You're watching yourself on the screen But in theater, it's constant feedback, but in the stand-up comedy it's instant feedback, you know And it's just a hard thing to like build either way. It's gonna affect you You know, but what I hear you saying is that the world in seduction getting out there socializing, you know being sexual with people That's stabilized that, you know, it put it into a realm where it Morphed into this other thing. So what would you call like the root of seduction then? Self-acceptance.  Who are you? What are you really comfortable? Who are you and what are you comfortable doing? And it really it really took from like me being like 17 years old and doing stand-up comedy Develop, you know getting to a certain point up till when I was like, you know Whatever late 20s and then getting in a pickup and then really going much much deeper in the lessons And I think it's really just shows you that it doesn't matter where you are You're always developing. Yeah, but you just have these points where you just go Oh, I'm a different person now or this has changed or this has changed I think it can be I can have a dark and a light side because we've certainly seen plenty of guys who got into seduction and coaches still today who it's really reinforced masks and Actually made them lose their soul essentially because even if they become effective at kind of hustling drunk girls into bed or You know having some basic level of yeah results They've they've totally lost their personality and it's it's just buried under this pickup Yeah, I had a guy come up to me today.  You've seen me cry.  This is crazy That was I kind of forget any crying guys coming up to me.  He was like, okay, we have that on well There's always there's always a couple on euro to a breakdown because they realize that they've been living a lie essentially Yeah, I mean, I think that's that's something to be wary of in any kind of personal development pursuit because you see that in like Kind of hippie circles or sure spiritual circles where this spiritual narcissism that happens where I'm so spiritual Or you know in in worlds of personal development where it's like I'm positive I'm positive positive I'm always effective and these kinds of things where people layer on top of themselves The modality in the method and then and then lose sight of what the point of the method is Which is always to come back to understanding yourself and developing yourself from a you know a deep core internal place And then when if seduction has done well or personal development has done well then yeah, it's going to be raw It's going to be heavy because you're going to have to face your demons before you you know You step into the light That's the thing and that's that's what I think sucks about the the way most people get into this Which is like reading the game or something like that. There's no depth.   So I think that's man.  Yeah, we And make money at it. So why wouldn't I do that? So some so a same thing getting my book out got a couple of products lined up and As I came more into kind of loving me and accepting who I am and just being okay with myself If I had that on my balls, I'd be telling you your present in London and Was madly in love with this girl like just completely head over heels and like right the girl for me It was it was crazy and then I meet this guy and we have this great thing and we're just like wow This could be so much fun. We're gonna do and whatever
