Look what I have! I'm so excited for today's video. I'm going to review the new Natasha Denona My Dream palette. I also have the Natasha lip liner and lipstick that I can show you today as well. I went to my local Sephora today to pick this palette up. As far as I can see, just the palette is going to be available at Select Sephora's but the rest of the collection is available online. You can also order the collection off of Beautylish, which has the best shipping in my opinion. Sephora, of course. Good if you might return it. And then the Natasha Denona website as well. I did order the full collection bundle off Natasha Denona's website. I paid for expedited shipping. It still hasn't shipped. So that's why I just went ahead and bought the palette and I emailed Natasha Denona. I hope they can cancel my order since it hasn't shipped because I irrationally bought it all because when she announced the pre-order, I was like, oh, I need the whole collection when in reality. Seeing that I already have this and this now don't need the whole thing. And then I will probably place another order if Natasha Denona ends up responding back to my email and cancelling my order and I'll probably pick up the cheek trio. And I'll tell you why, but I'm going to pick up the lipstick again as well. Rather from Beautylish or Sephora, we'll see. But the most important part, the part that you're the most curious about is here in my hand. So I'm excited to talk about it. I will have links to everywhere that the palette and the collection itself is available in case you want to pick it up. Let's go ahead and get started. So here is the palette. This is the My Dream Eyeshadow Palette. It is going to be at $69 US made in Italy with a 24 month shelf life. It is a midi sized palette. So you can poke with a needle the back of the palette here and you can interchange the colors that are within the palette. Now the packaging itself, it's the same size as a midi palette but it has a soft matte touch to it as opposed to the plastic that the previous midi palettes were in. And then also the splatters, which you guys know I'm not the biggest fan of, but I know some of you are. It's a little bit lifted. You can feel the texture of the palette. I said that this collection's packaging looked like your liquid eyeliner exploded in your makeup bag. It looks a little dirty to me, but some of you guys like it. So to reach their own, let's go ahead and open this up. Come on, oh, wrong way. Come on in closer. Lights down so we can get the true effect of the colors here because that's what a lot of us have been wanting to see the true palette. This is probably the most true to color. I will say though, they did a really good job with the pictures on the website. In person, I would say the palette looks just a touch more warm. And you'll definitely see that compared to the glam palette. And I will be doing comparisons at the end of the video. So stay tuned if you want to see how this compares to retro and glam. But here's what the palette looks like. I'm excited to go ahead and swatch this all for you as far as I'm aware. If you don't know, this is supposed to be a curation of Natasha Denona's absolute favorite. Must have colors with two repeat shades, 13 new shades. But some of the new shades are kind of reformulated or colors that Natasha Denona mixed up that she really liked. So she took inspiration from some of her favorite colors in the line to create this palette, which I think is very interesting. The repeat shades have been a big mystery because we know for sure black is black is one of the repeat shades, but she was never really clear in her initial launch which one was the other one. As far as I'm aware, Serenity appears to be a renamed shade from the Star Palette Supernova. That is what you guys said. I missed that because I don't own the Star Palette. I looked at the numbers. I couldn't find any repeat numbers, but of course it was in the palette I didn't have. So this is supposed to be Supernova in the Star Palette. I personally cannot confirm that, but since I don't have the palette but these two are supposed to be repeats which I'm not mad about. I mean this shade is not that exciting anyways and then a black is great to have.  I look like I have fungus on my fingers. Don't paint your nails gold anyways. Sorry if that's all you think of for the rest of the video. Back into it. Let's go ahead and swatch the colors here. I've already used this palette so I already know what I'm gonna say but it's positive. It's a really good palette. We're gonna start off with this creamy matte. Black is black. Aspiration is also a creamy matte. Then we'll get into Serenity and then Carpe Diem. Here's what they look like on my fingers. See the black is black. It's a really good black. I don't know about the black is black but her black's always been really really nice. Then we have Aspiration which is a matte dark penny brown. Serenity which is a satin medium cool brown. Carpe Diem a matte medium dusty peach. Really nice cool tones up in here. Let's get into Babies. Then we have a cream to powder formula right here. Instinct, Thrill and then Unity. Babies is a metallic light medium rosy nude. I played with this shade and it's gorgeous. Instinct is a cream to powder formula. Very well done. You'll see in the demo but it's a cream powder matte medium fuchsia. But these are not completely matte. They have a little bit of satin. They're very great for mature eyelids. Then we have a sparkling metallic duo chrome golden nude with pink shift. This shade is a little bit more sparkly. It doesn't have too strong of a base. I didn't see too much of the shift happening but it's really subtle. It is very pretty though. Then Unity which is a matte medium light pink nude. You can see I don't really swatch the shadows hard like Natasha Denona does. I feel like you can tell a lot about a shade when you don't swatch it too hard. I haven't swatched this shade yet. I'm excited. It looks really good on my hand. Risk is a metallic medium maroon. Here we go. Are you ready? This is Vision which is the multi-chrome metallic with shifts of green, pink, nude and gold. Oh, never mind. Wait, I messed that up. That's not what it is. That was anti-glimactic. This is Invention which is a sparkling metallic duo chrome tangerine with bronze and gold sparks. I didn't notice she had three duo chromes in here. Wow. Okay. This is the one that I was telling you about. This is Vision, the multi-chrome. Not even just a duo chrome. There we go. We're going to have to compare this to her other trio chrome shade. Maybe Pamograph. But it looks really nice. It's definitely not as crazy as an indie multi-chrome might be. But it's definitely better than what's in the trio chrome palette. Then finally we have Edgy which is a cream powder matte medium dark egg plant. Another cream powder. I really liked this as well. Final three shades. Spontaneous. Is that Nurture and Familia? These are pretty neutral shades. Spontaneous is a metallic light pearl nude which Natasha Denona said she created the shade to kind of have a natural highlighted look on the eye which I really love that idea. Then we have a matte medium cool nude. That's Nurture. Then the last shade is Familia which is a matte medium caramel brown. Here is the palette. What do we think? Oh she is gorgeous. I'm going to go ahead and tell you now. Not a single dud in this palette. It is as beautiful as it looks and swatches and looks in the pan. Everything translates on the eyelid as they look in the pan. So I'm going to take you over to the first two tutorials that I did. You'll see most of the shades being used. We'll do the final tutorial and then we'll get into swatch comparisons. So meet you on the other side. Let's do a couple looks on this eye before I do my final look. These are like my playing with the textures looks. Not meant to look cute. Just want to see the textures, see how they work out. All of that for my eye primer today. I have the Jacqueline First Base eyeshadow primer. I think this is my favorite primer. I love it so much anyways. Let's just do a purple smokey eye on this eye. We're going to start off with Nurture right here. I know you guys want me to put vision on my eyelid. That is the duo cream shade but that's for the final look. I'm saving it. Very nice. Blends out beautifully. This is a BK Beauty brush by the way. I want to see how instinct works since it's a cream to powder. Refer number 14 brush. Ooh, I like this shade. It's not messy. There's no fallout but it still gives the exact look of what you see in the pan. That's exciting. So shades like this, sometimes you find they can be powdery and make a mess. You can't put makeup on before you do your eyeshadow. This is great because it gives you that pigment and that look. Completely mess free and I'm using a blending brush to apply it. I didn't need to pack it down. I'm happy about that shade. Amazing. We're going to try edgy right here. I think this is one of the shades in the final look that I'm going to do. This is another cream to powder. So this is the outer corner shade. Once again, really great because it's not messy. This formula from Natasha, she's mastered. It's taken some time but I really like it because it's a mess free user friendly formula. It might take a little extra time to build up but it takes no time to blend out. And I just think with how mess free it is, it's worth the extra application times. That blend. So beautiful. Okay, can you tell I'm liking this? And finally, let's see how aspiration does. Does that add more depth? This is a true matte shade. It's not the cream to powder so it doesn't have a satin of a finish. That added the perfect level of depth. Okay, smoky eye. Look at that. Okay, lid color. Let's do babies in the center of the eyelid. Mmm. Yep, it definitely is going to apply best with a finger for this one. It just has that texture that needs skin to pick it up with. Very pretty. Well done, Natasha. Am I biased when it comes to Natasha? Sure, a little bit. But y'all know I tell you when something Natasha comes out with, it's not good. This is good. I'm happy with this. And then on the inner part, let's see how thrill looks. Okay, that's pretty. It's a little closer to babies than I would like it to be because you can see. I mean, there's slight textural differences. I don't even know if that's a word, so refrain from commenting. It has a little bit more of a pink glimmer but they do look similar next to one another on the eyelid, not identical but closer than what I would like for a palette of this price point. So just keep that in mind, but I am really bothered. I guess let's just finish it, whatever. I'm going to put on some eye primer underneath even though I have no concealer on just because I really love this look. So for these play looks, I always like to say, just so you know, this is just a practice look. This is just a practice look just in case they turn ugly because sometimes they do. You should try this one. This one is pretty. I'm just going to go ahead. I'm skipping nurture, but I'm going to layer these three shades on the lower lash line. So we're starting off with instinct, which is the brighter of the cream to powder formula, right? Then we're going into edgy, the darker cream powder. Just a little bit and then a little bit of aspiration, the dark true matte finish. Don't have any concealer to clean this up, which I'll get the vibes of this, right? And the blend phenomenal. That was a success. Let's play a little bit more on this side with a warmer look. We're going to start off with unity, the shade right here in the center. And I'm going to go ahead and apply this to the inner half of the crease using this really gorgeous Sydney Grace brush. Very pretty, nice peachy shade. And then we're going to see how it looks next to Carpe Diem. For my play looks, I like to put shades that look close to each other, next to each other so we can really see if there's a difference or not. Different. I don't mind them both being in the same palette. Necessary, probably not, but not anything to make me upset. You can see the difference. Gorgeous blend. Might as well just go ahead and run them along the lower lash line. Going to go in with Familia down here. Kind of a warmer brown. Use this to define the crease. Okay, that did a good job, right? Did what it was supposed to do. It looks exactly in the pan as it does on the eyelid. I have no complaints. Let's go ahead into invention. I want to see how this baby looks on the eyelid. Ooh, okay, so it has a lot of texture to it, not the most pigmented base, but it can certainly be layered to not need a base color underneath. That's very pretty. I'm going to leave the inner corner of my eye blank. I want to see how risk right here, which is supposed to be kind of like a lighter version of instinct, a little bit more peachy. That's what Natasha Zinona said. They look very different to me. I don't really see the inspiration, but that is going on the lower lash line. This has a shimmer to it. I don't see myself using a shade like this very often in this palette. It's just so very warm. It looks good with the warmer side of this palette, though. It has that pretty satin finish. Oh, that's nice. It actually did add a nice warm element to the eye look kind of fiery. I like that shade. It's not a metallic. It just gives a soft shimmer to the eyelid, which I think some of you will like. And while this might ruin the look a little bit, I want to see what spontaneous looks like. This one could be used with a brush because it's a true shimmer formula. Oh, wow. With a finger, it's quite in your face. Okay, let me blend that out a little bit. That's gorgeous. I think the only shade that I wanted to use that I didn't get to use besides the black. I know I didn't use the black as serenity. It's kind of more cool, so it's going to look good against the purples. It has a softer shimmer to it. It's going to apply pretty much the exact same as spontaneous, just a little deeper. Great for a more neutral look. My recommendation if you want to utilize this shade. Nurturing the crease, serenity on the lid, aspiration. In the outer corner, you have a really pretty neutral grayish purpley kind of look. So that'll be really cool for an evening out. But I only have so many eyeballs to put all of my ideas down. But both of these looks turn out gorgeous. I know the blending is a little weird out here, just due to lack of makeup on my face for it to work. But really happy with these two performance of almost every shadow is really good. Let's get into the next look that I think you guys are really going to love. So the look was somewhat inspired by this look that Natasha Denona posted a whole tutorial for on YouTube if you're interested. But I put my own Morgan spin to it as well as so I could try different colors. The first color that I'm going to go into is Unity right here. I wanted to have a warmer background. So I'm just going to take my BK Beauty brush and we're going to blend this out here. So I wanted to play with a little bit of the warms and cools for today's look. So starting off with that warmer background. And then I'm going to go into Carpe Diem, which is a little deeper. Use these two together and one of the looks that I did previously. But I'm just putting this not quite as high as Unity. But again, we're going to keep it nice and warm. I really wanted to try risk in the crease, which is the shimmery maroon shade. This is really going to bring in the warmth. I'm using a Sydney Grace brush and you can use shimmers in the crease. You guys, I think it looks good when you pair a shimmer with a matte in the crease. Not have it all be shimmer. But do whatever you want and look how pretty that made it look. It gave a little shimmer to the eyelid without being too obnoxious. And it really warmed up the look as well. Next, we're going into Instinct right here. And I just really wanted some of the bright purple to kind of pop through. So I'm just doing half a moon shape over my crease like this. Nothing crazy.  I'm just doing this to brighten up the crease. Add a little bit more of those purple elements, which is my favorite thing. And she looks messy now, but it's okay. I'd rather over blend to get a softer blend and then correct afterwards. And then we're going to deepen with aspiration right here. And then keep this kind of low though. We don't want it to go too high. We're keeping the depth on the eyelid. Be careful. This step can be messy. I'm using black as black. I have a shader brush. I'm going to tilt my head back. And I am patting blackest black all over the eyelid. And see, this is what the black is black looks like. It's a pretty black black, but it's not black enough to where you can't blend it. Because I'm going to take this refer brush again. And I'm just going to blend the edges of the black and keep that black right here in the crease of the eye. Going not too high. We want all of those colors that we've layered before to peek through. Amazing. And now here's where the magic is. We're going into vision. This was one of the only shades that I hadn't used yet. If you put it over a black base like I am, it's really going to create a gorgeous smoky eye and intensify a shift. So you see that? But it continues to be really smoky. If I didn't have the black base underneath, the green would be more green and not so dark green. But I think it creates such a cool kind of smoky eye.  I accidentally applied concealer before this. I didn't mean to. I told myself I wasn't going to and then out of habit I ended up doing it. But I did not intend to have concealer underneath. So I'm just going to take it off and I'm going to go ahead and reapply the concealer, clean up these edges. And then I'll show you what I'm going to do with the lower lash line. Though it's not much different. Lower lash line work. We're going to skip a few steps. I'm going to hop into wrist right here. Run this along the lower lash line. That's so pretty even on its own. I was worried about it being too shimmery, but it actually looks super good. And then I'm going to get a little bit of aspiration. And then a little bit of blackest black of course. Got to keep it smoky. Then taking a smaller brush, vision. We're going to pop this along pretty much the entire lower lash line. This is a really pretty duo chrome. I don't think it looks weird or multi-chrome I guess. Anyways, that's the lower lash line. Definitely going to do some liner and lashes with this. And then we're going to finish off the lips. So here is how we're looking.  I wanted to show you the lip products that I have because Natasha Denona launched a lip collection in the shade Natasha. Which the lip liner and lipstick already exists. I happen to own them. So I'm going to show you the lip liner. The lip liner is exactly the same. The same formula and everything just in the my dream collection packaging. Which you guys know I'm not the biggest fan of. So I feel like if my Natasha order can get canceled, don't need the lip liner again. It's $24. I do really enjoy Natasha Denona's lip liners. So here's what it looks like. Really pretty, really smooth, a perfect kind of cool mauve color. And it's not too far off from my natural lip color honestly. Look at that. It's actually really close to my lip color. It just like cools it down a little bit. Love this shade. It's so good. So versatile. So if you like this color, I definitely recommend it. I do love her lip liner formula. Very smooth, lasts a long time. And this color is gorgeous. I kind of forgot how pretty this color was. And then we also have the lipstick same deal in that this color already exists. But it's in the new packaging. But she did say that this is now in like a clean and vegan formula. So it's a little bit different. I think I'm going to pick up the new lipstick because mine is falling out. Mine looks disgusting. And I love this lip color. I have to be very careful with it. But you can see it's a little bit more peachy, assuming that it is going to turn out the same. And it doesn't look any different or look like this. The lipsticks are $27. They aren't cheap. But Natasha is right up there with Charlotte Tilbury in terms of my all-time favorite lipstick formula. And here's what the lipstick looks like. So I feel like online the lipstick definitely looks a little bit more mobby because it's very, very nude. So I'd be interested to see if the lipstick shade is different now. Because this looks totally different than it does on the website. It looks a lot rosier. Love this color. I think it's so pretty for cool-toned looks, blue eye looks, purple eye looks. It's one of my favorites. But it looks a little different to me than it did online. But here's the lips. I mean, I highly recommend the lip liner and lipstick. I think they're a gorgeous combo. I don't love her lip gloss formula, but it's supposed to be the finishing touch to this lip. I find her lip glosses just don't last very long. They're nice, but not my favorite. They don't stand out to me. Probably not worth the $27 price point. Final part, the part you've all been waiting for. Let's compare this guy to some palettes that are already in the line. Because when I saw this online, it looked like a baby between retro and glam. Check this out. So here's the dream palette on top compared to the glam palette. And while I thought these two looked similar online, they do not look close at all. Like I said earlier, the dream palette pulls much warmer in person. So these I really kind of struggled to find anything that was alike. So the top of my arm is the dream palette. And the bottom of my arm is what I could find that was similar with the glam palette, which wasn't much. And they're still quite a bit of a stretch, just like this shade and this shade are close. The rest really are not. So if you have the glam, you're definitely in the clear for the dream palette. Dream is on top and then the retro is on the bottom. I thought that these were going to be closer than they actually were. Now these are definitely closer than what the glam comparison was. But honestly, there's not too many similarities. Where they are similar is that they have that cool warm kind of vibe going on. So in that way, if you feel satisfied, they're cool and warm palette and you don't feel they need to expand. Then I don't think you need the dream palette, but they are quite different. So once again, the top of my arm is the dream. The bottom is what I could find matched up with the retro palette. And it's honestly very few shades. It's almost like the dream palettes, the extension of retro because they don't necessarily dupe one another. They just live in the same color family of warm and cool combinations, purples and reddish orangey kind of tones. But they're really not that similar in terms of a color to color face. So my main question throughout the whole time knowing that this palette was coming was how different is this from this? They're more different than I expected. So I'm pretty happy about that. It's up to you to decide if you really need the palette. But the last thing I wanted to compare is the multi chrome shade vision. So I'm going to go ahead and swatch that. This is a pretty classic multi chrome shade. You can see the shift there. I wanted to see how it compared to color flip in the trio chrome palette because it also has that green purple flip. Here is the trio chrome swatch. So the trio chrome is a little bit more purple and the shift of the green isn't quite so green. But honestly, they're very similar. They are more similar than I thought they were going to be. And I think they pretty much look close on the eyelid. So if you wanted vision for the multi chrome and you have the trio chrome, these are pretty darn close. For the heck of it, I'm pulling Sextra terrestrial out from my Divine Rose 2 palette. This is by Pat McGrath and it's going to go right here. The Pat McGrath also very similar. I think the Pat McGrath has a little bit more oomph to it, but there's not many differences between the three shades on my hand. So take about what you will. Alright guys, that was it. Those were my thoughts, my tutorials, my comparisons with the new Natasha Denona, my dream collection-ish kind of the collection. Overall, I am super happy with what I was able to try today.  It's a great neutral palette, but with a pop. It's not quite boring brown, which you know I love.  There's something to make it a bit different, but still quite wearable. So overall, if you're curious about this palette, I totally give it my thumbs up of approval. Great quality as usual. And I love the lip combo as well. So I'm excited to get my hands on the cheek palette when I am able to. So keep an eye on that. I would definitely share my thoughts once I have that. And yeah, thank you guys so much for watching this video and being subscribed to my channel. I will have the links down below to pick up anything if you're interested. And I will catch you guys in the next one. Bye guys, have a good one. Bye.


Well, the ego can't reflect upon itself unless it has a mirror against which to read itself, and that mirror would be the mythological schedule that lets it know where it is. It's a mirror with a schedule on it, a patterned mirror, and the ego sees itself in that reflex and knows where it is on the scoreboard. Just for example, a person who at the age of 40 is wondering whether he's going to be punished by mother, hasn't moved on. And a person at the age of 80 who's wondering, how's my God score? He hasn't moved on either. I mean, just in a raw, gross way, this is the problem. The myth lets you know where you are, and it knows what the patterns have been of life through centuries in that position that you now are entering or holding. He should see himself, the 40-year-old, now should see himself as a free, willing, independent, self-responsible human being. And he should have certain noble heart powers that have been called to his attention and to which he has been invited to give himself that will enable him to act in terms of nobility, not in obedience, you know, but out of himself. And the older person must know, I'm not now participating in the achievement of life, I have achieved it, and I'm looking back, and I can tell you there's a wonderful moment that comes when you realize, I'm not striving for anything, and what I'm doing now is not a means to achieving something later. Youth has always to think that way. Every decision a young person makes is a commitment to a life course. And if you make a bad decision of that angle, by the time you get out there, you're far off course. But after a certain age, there's no future, and suddenly the present becomes rich. It becomes that thing in itself which you're now experiencing, and if you've been prepared a little bit for that, you're ready. I don't know. I've had the experience of lecturing to old age groups, you know, and myself actually in old age. I'll be 79 next month. I can tell you that came a gradual realization, boy, this is it. I'm in that place, and every experience is a value in and for itself without any reference to anything that might happen. I've mentioned this to older groups, and people come up to me afterwards and say, we didn't realize. It's beautiful. And those figures that you see, I can think of a couple of Renaissance pictures of an old man or an old woman looking at a just-born child. These are the two eternities, the youth, the lovely young thing, and the old one who's not in history anymore. But in between is history.  And part of the role of myth is to relate that historical conditioning to what the old man and the child present across the ages of life.


So at what point do you break away from the strategy, say it's not working, and do something else and pose some of these sanctions now? Well, I think as we've talked about a little bit in here, our collective view from our national security team is that sanctions are meant to be a deterrent. Well, again, Jackie, I think that's our assessment from the national security team. To die before implementing that in that case. I think, Jackie, that's in no way a fair statement or accusation. I guess if that's what that is, what we have done and what the president has done is unite countries around the world on a strong package that will be crippling to the Russian economy. And we have done that in a way where we have stood up for the territorial integrity of Ukraine. I don't know about you all, but I'm tired of hearing about these packages they're always preparing. It's so obvious that Saki is not used to coming under any scrutiny or criticism. Since when did Democrat media become so pro-war?


As the world's most powerful B2B social media platform, LinkedIn is the go-to place for many industries, including the hospitality industry. Today we're looking at some of LinkedIn's most popular content formats. Formats that engage your audience and your ideal clients. We're also looking at some ideas on how you can get started with each format. So stick around. Hi everyone, it's Leanne and I love creating content for LinkedIn. I am a prolific content creator and I've seen trends come and go over the years about what types of content resonate with our target audience. Well, today we're looking at six of LinkedIn's most popular content formats, including the ever popular and engaging poll, the fun to view carousel and the newly added LinkedIn Live and LinkedIn Stories. Before we look at these content formats and some ideas to get you started in each and every one of them, don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and click on that little bell to be notified of new content. LinkedIn and personal branding is my jam and hospitality professionals are my people. I'm here to provide content that you can use to help elevate your day, your career and your personal brand. So let's take a look at these six of popular LinkedIn content formats starting with the ever popular text post. Text posts are still one of the best ways to communicate your ideas clearly. And right now LinkedIn has started to roll out and increase in the number of characters that you can use to create your text post. Originally it was about 1300 characters but now some of us have 3000 characters or 500 words to communicate our ideas. Whether you create a post of 100 characters or 3000 characters, there's a few rules that you should abide by when creating your LinkedIn text post. Open up your post with a compelling statement. Also known as the hook, the first line of copy should compel your audience to read through the rest of the post. As you've probably noticed on LinkedIn, it only features the first couple lines of your post before jumping into any accompanying images. You want your reader to hit read more so they can go through the rest of your post. Secondly, if relevant, tag other individuals in your post. Tagging helps attract the attention of those who are being tagged and they may be able to give your post some extra algorithm love. A best practice though, ensure you're only tagging relevant parties so as not to come across as spammy. Thirdly, add a call to action to the discussion. This could be a call to comment below or to offer people's opinions but if you create a two-way dialogue with your audience, you will get more engagement on your post. Fourthly, use relevant hashtags. These are those conversation sorters where people can find conversations and discussions on LinkedIn using keywords. And finally, if you are creating a lengthy post, break up the copy with carriage returns and emojis. These are both proved popular to help our visual eye continue to read without getting lost and bored in the copy. This is critically important if you do decide to use all 3,000 of those characters. The second content idea and probably the most popular is the LinkedIn poll. Polls are a great way to engage your audience. It also allows the reader with a quick win because they can engage you in your poll with a simple click of the button. It moves your reader from being a passive observer to an active participant beyond the like button. The third most popular content idea is a post that has an image and canva.com has made it incredibly easy for hospitality professionals to create professional looking images to accompany their texts on LinkedIn. Consider using an image with minimal text to catch your reader's eye and draw them into the story of your post. The dimensions of your image can be either 1080 by 1080, which is the square image dimensions or the 1200 by 720 rectangle. Both work really well on LinkedIn. The fourth idea and one of my favorites is the carousel post. A carousel post is a series of images that follow one another in sequence and they take your reader along a story journey. To create a carousel post, create a series of images inside of Canva. But when you're downloading the posts, save it as a PDF and upload the PDF to your LinkedIn posts. Carousel posts can do a number of things. Number one, they can provide more information in the images that you provide. Number two, they can increase your reader's dwell time on the post and that's what the LinkedIn algorithm loves so it can give you more reach on the platform. And thirdly, you can build a story. So it's a great trick for sneak peeks and new product launches. The final content idea is LinkedIn Live. Live video is a great way to engage and build trust with your target audience. Now you do have to apply to receive LinkedIn Live and once you have it, then you can broadcast to your LinkedIn profile via a third-party streaming service like StreamYard, Zoom, or Restream. But when you are live, it shows up on your personal profile in the banner section and also can appear as a replay in your activity section. Live video is fantastic for the hospitality industry. It's a great way to show those behind the scenes shots and show what the experience is working with your product or service. No matter what kind of post you create, if your post performs well, you can extend its shelf life by adding it to your LinkedIn featured section. I did a post about the featured section not too long ago and you can access those ideas right here. So tell me friends, what kind of content do you most often lean on when you're on LinkedIn?

In the name of Allah, we begin with the praise of Allah, Allah who is the Lord of the worlds. And so we praise him and we seek his aid and we ask for his forgiveness. And we also seek his protection, both from the evil of ourselves and from the evil in our actions. Whomever Allah guides, none can misguide. And whomever he misguides, none can guide.  Praise be to Allah as well for bringing us together on this day of Jumu'ah, a day of gathering as we know, which is a reminder of that gathering that came before when we were brought together on that primordial day of Yom Al-Ast, Yom Al-Mithaq, the day of the Covenant. On which day Allah asked us, Al-Astubi Rabbikum, am I not your Lord? And we replied, balaa, indeed you are. And so this gathering is a reminder of the two poles that define our life. One pole being Yom Al-Mithaq, that day of the Covenant and the other day, a warning of the other day, Yom Al-Qiyamah, when we will be brought together again before our Lord and we will be asked whether we remain faithful to that first Covenant. We begin with praise of Allah, following the book of Allah, following Surat Al-Fatiha, in which Allah begins with Al-Hamdullahi Rabbil Alameen. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. And for praise to belong to Allah means that all praise belongs to Allah, that all good belongs to Allah, that everything praiseworthy belongs to him, that every perfection belongs to him. And it means that this divine perfection, this divine greatness and beauty, then shines down from on high and it shines down onto Muhammad, Muhammad literally the man of praise, the man who is most deserving of praise. As Allah says, Muhammadun Rasulullah, he is the messenger and he is representative of Allah because just as Allah is most deserving of praise, he too is most deserving of praise. And just as with Allah we said that to be most deserving of praise means to contain, means to include, to be characterized by every attribute of perfection, by every quality of praiseworthiness, so too for our beloved messenger, is Allah, he too is characterized by every attribute of perfection. And to him also belongs every trait of perfection. And Allah tells us about this in a verse in the Quran that is possibly the most comprehensive verse about what it is to live in this dunya and how Allah is relevant to our lives in this dunya and how the messenger, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, is relevant to our lives in this dunya. And this is where Allah says, وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَاكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ And we have not sent you, O Muhammad, to save us a mercy to the worlds. And so we have moved from Hamd to Rahma and we should ask, what then is the central quality of mercy in our religion? Because just as we moved from Hamd and Rahma with respect to the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, we can also do this in the Fatiha, الحمد لله رب العالمين الرحمان الرحيم. We say, all praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, the Most Merciful, the Intimately Merciful. What then is mercy? Who then is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem? And for this we turn to the Arabic language because in Arabic, Rahma or mercy is related to word for benevolence. Rahma means to wish good upon others. It means to desire mercy, to desire a goodness for others. And mercy also has a condition and that condition is that mercy can only be directed towards someone who is in need. It can only be directed to someone who is open to receiving that mercy. And the third point is that mercy is only complete and is only universal and is only without limits when it includes both those who are deserving of mercy and those who are undeserving of mercy. When it includes all types of needs, whether material needs or spiritual needs, whether in this life or the next life, whether they be great needs and tremendous needs, the ruryat, or whether they be little needs and minute needs, tahsiniyat. And so if we take all of these qualities together, who is Ar-Rahman and Ar-Raheem? He is He who is benevolent towards the needy. And we're all in fact in need of Allah.  So He is benevolent towards the needy. And He fulfills and satisfies all the wants and needs, minor and major of mankind in this dunya and in the Akhira, whether we are deserving of it or not, all without exception. Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem, Alhamdulillah, Rabb-ul Alameen. Praise be to Allah for this quality of His. Now, the difficulty with this reality is that even though Allah is so merciful to us, this might fly in the face of some people's lived experience. And some people may begin to think, Allah is all merciful, but I'm still in need. Allah is all merciful, but I'm in tribulation, I'm in affliction. There are so many misfortunes in the world, so many hardships in the world. Where is the mercy? Where is the all merciful? And so we should say, we should first say that if you see this thought pattern, it's important to recognize this thought pattern. This thought pattern is very specifically a thought pattern from shaitan. This is a khatr shaitani. This is something from Satan. And we know it's from Satan because it's based off of falsehood and deception. It is based off of falsehood and deception. Have we not heard the hadith from the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, where he says, My community is indeed a community shown mercy. It has no torment into afterlife, but rather its torment is only in this world, killing, earthquakes and fitna. So pay attention here to the words of your Prophet. My community is a community shown mercy. How? Through killing, earthquakes and fitna. So pay attention here to the words of your Prophet. My community is a community shown mercy. How? Through killing, earthquakes and fitna. These are a sign of mercy. Tribulations and trials and afflictions are a sign of mercy. How are they a sign of mercy? Because it removes the punishment that we would be otherwise owed in the akhirah due to us falling short in fulfilling Allah's rights. And so trials and tribulations have a greater purpose. They serve a greater good. And this is from Allah's hikmah that he could have left us in the dunya without any mercy. He could have left us in complete anguish without any knowledge of him, without being aware of his presence. Because we as creation, his creation, we hold no rights over the creator. And thus it would not have been unjust for him to do so. But he did not do so. He did show us mercy, not because he had to, but out of his compassion. He showered us with blessings and with gifts. He gave us homes and families with good food and drinks that quench thirst when we are thirsty. With a beating heart and a conscious mind with which we live. With medicine from the earth that heals us when we are sick. With vehicles to travel about the earth from which we can gain whatever we need and just so we can enjoy ourselves and have leisure time. He has given us schools with which to get an education. He's given us knowledge with which we can make our lives in our dunya and the Akhira better. He's given us a masjid to receive Allah's guidance through the example of his merciful exemplar, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Wa inta'uddu ni'matullahi la tahsuha. If you were to count, if you were to enumerate the blessings of Allah, you would be unable to do so and you would not encompass them. And so the goodness that he shows us, far outweighs the pains and the hardships, the afflictions and the misfortunes that he has commanded and decreed. But it's only the people of gratitude who will see this. It's only the people of gratitude who will notice this. And the people of ingratitude, the people of kufran, because kufran and kufr come from the same root word. The people of kufran and ingratitude, they will be the ones who complain. They will be the ones who focus on the negative aspects of life. They will always focus on what could have been, how much things could have been better. And they will neglect and overlook the undeserved goods that Allah, Azawajal, has showered on us. And then on top of all this, on top of us not deserving to receive any mercy from Allah, and on top of Allah showing us much more mercy and goodness and blessing than he has shown us any hardship, even then he tells us that this hardship has a mercy in it for us. That everything apparently evil has anything apparently bad or disliked in the world. Allah has decreed it for a greater good that comes from it. And he has not decreed any evil for its own sake. And we see examples of this in our own lives. This is not some foreign thought. This is like amputating a diseased limb. The amputation may seem like an evil if you don't know what's going on.   It may seem extremely evil, sadistic, painful, cruel.  This is the wisdom in Allah's creation, but if only because see. If only it could be of Ulul al-Bab. So just as mercy then is found in Allah's creation, then we should also notice that this mercy is also found in Allah's rulings.  And so when Allah decides that when he decrees and ordains that someone who commits a murder intentionally deserves the death penalty, which is a form of qaisas in the sharia. What he is telling us in this ayah is that this is not taking life. The death penalty is not taking life, it's giving life. Ajid, how is the death penalty giving life? Doesn't it seem like it's taking life? Why? Because there is a greater purpose here, which is that this taking of life is a deterrent. Is a deterrent from other evildoers who would they not see the consequences, the harsh consequences, do upon someone who commits this evil that they would commit far worse. This then is a mercy, but it's a mercy that takes into account the whole and doesn't just consider one part. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, لو أنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمْمَدٍ سَرَقَتْ لَا قَتَأْتُ يَدَهَةَ وَرْفَاطِمَةَ دَاطَرَرَمْ مَحَمْمَدٍ تَسْتِيلْ I would sever her hand. I would cut off her hand. This is not cruelty. This is a mercy. Don't you think that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam cared for his daughter and is already good for her? Don't you think that the one who is sent as a mercy to all the worlds would first and foremost care for and desire mercy for his own daughter? And yet, he says, as لَا قَتَأْتُ يَدَهَةَ I would sever her hand. I would cut off her hand because this act of severing of a hand, of implementing the sharia, would be an act of love and mercy. Because there's a greater good in it. And that greater good is the lifting of the burden and ugliness of such a major sin as stealing. This then is the wisdom of taqlif. This is the wisdom of Allah burdening us with the sharia, which is that following Allah's commandments and avoiding his prohibitions, yes, there might be a temporary pain. It might require some subar, some steadfastness, some endurance, some patience. Yes, there's a minor hardship. But that minor hardship enduring it prevents us from falling into a much greater hardship, into a much greater pain, to a much greater suffering. And so then the sharia, even in the parts that are difficult, should be considered or instructions of how to navigate the treacherous waters of dunya ultimately to reach Allah. The sharia is a type of love letter from the divine to the Habib, to the beloved, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. And therefore, anyone who takes leave of it, takes leave of Allah's mercy, and takes leave of Allah's wisdom at his own peril. I say, I say this, and I seek forgiveness from Allah. And he said, I seek forgiveness from Allah. In the name of Allah, and praise and praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings of Allah, and peace and blessings of Allah, and peace and blessings of Allah, and peace and blessings of Allah. There's a hadith narrated by Sayyidina Umrah from Al-Khattab, brahmah. He narrates that once the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, passed by a woman after a battle, and she was walking between children who were captured as prisoners of war. And whenever she found a baby amongst these prisoners of war, she would nurse the baby and make sure that it wasn't crying and that it had the milk that it needed. And the Prophet, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, asked his companions, atarona haadihi tariha tan wa adhaa finnaar. Do you think that this woman would throw her baby in the fire? But Allah, who ar-rahamu bi-ibadihi min haadihi bi-waladihi. Verily, Allah is more merciful to his slaves than she is to her child. This then is the reality in which we live. And so we should question, when there, where there, is there room to doubt Allah? Is there any doubt that it is Allah who manages to disappear that somehow, whatever is happening is not from Him, that is by His hand that the wind blows, that waves crash on the ocean shore, that war breaks out in one country and peace is brokered in another country? Is there any doubt about Allah's mercy that if we do look with the eye of gratitude that we would see innumerable examples of undeserved blessings upon each of us? Is there any doubt about Allah's mercy when He has promised it over and over and when He has sent the man of mercy, Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, to the worlds? How can there be, when the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, The most tried of people, the most severely tried of people are the prophets and then those most similar to them and then those most similar to them. And if this then is how Allah shows His love to His beloved, what an honor it is for us to be treated in the same way as His beloved, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Allah says in His Noble Scripture, innallahu wa malayikaddu yusalluna ala nabi, yaiyuh aladina amanu, sallallahu alayhi wa sallim utaslima,


If we move a coil in a region of magnetic field, let's say, towards or away from this magnet, just like this, we can see the bulb glow. So that means there is some induced current in this coil and that means there is some induced EMF. Now if there is induced current in the coil, that means the electrons are moving. And it is the Lorentz force, it is the Lorentz force which is given by Qv cross B, which provides the force for the electrons to move. But what about the case when we move the magnet towards and away from the coil? Even in this case, we can see the bulb glowing. That means there is some induced EMF and that means there is some induced current as well. But who is pushing these electrons to create this current? We know that the coil was stationary, so electrons did not have any velocity to begin with. This V right here was zero. So who pushed these electrons in the first place? That is what we will explore in this video. Let's say we have a region of magnetic field and there is a coil kept inside of it. Now let's say that the strength of the magnetic field is increasing at a constant rate. So that means that the flux through the loop through this coil must be constantly increasing. And we know that there will be some induced EMF and current in this coil. And we can think about the direction of the current using Lenz's law. If the field is increasing in the direction away from us, so a magnetic field must be generated to oppose that. So that should point towards us. And using the right hand curl rule, if we point our thermally direction of the generated magnetic field that is upwards, the curl of our fingers gives the direction of the current. And we can see that will be anticlockwise in this case. So there will be a current in the anticlockwise direction in this coil. Now why does this current flow? Why do the electrons start to move in the first place? There has to be a reason for the electrons to move. It's not the Lorentz force V cross B because the coil is stationary. So magnetic field isn't making them move. In fact, they are being induced to move by the changing magnetic field. So if magnetic field isn't making them move, then it must be an electric field and that's what it is. It must be that an electric field is induced in this loop. So if we look inside this thing and draw a bunch of electrons, there's no way that they are going to move unless there is an electric field. That's the only thing that can push them. If it's not the magnetic field, then there has to be an electric field to push them. So there is an electric field circulation around the loop and the direction of the electric field is in the same direction as that of the current. Because if the current is in an anticlockwise direction, that means the electrons are moving clockwise because the force on the electron, the force on the electron will always be in the direction, it will always be in the direction opposite to that of electric field. And we know that induction occurs all the way around the loop. So the electric field is all the way around the loop. So here's the big idea. A changing magnetic field induces changing electric fields. The electric field that you see over here, it's not stuck in space. They constantly disappear and reappear. So that's why we say changing electric fields. Now here's a strange part. These electric fields are induced even when there is no coil that deserves two exclamation marks. Now we are saying that whether there is a coil or not, if we make the coil disappear, there will be an induced electric field. Because the induced electric field does not require electrons to be there. It is induced as a result of changing magnetic field. An electric field can be induced in a space or vacuum. And these form throughout the space concentric to each other. So there is a smaller one here and there will also be a bigger one right here. Now if this is how induction really works, then we need to rewrite Faraday's law and include this induced electric field that we just saw. So we know that EMF is worked on per unit charge. That is W divided by Q. And if there is an electron moving through the loop, then there will be some work done on it. The force that will do the work is provided by the electric field. And that is given by the charge on the electron, that is small e multiplied by the magnitude of the induced electric field. Now we can write work as integral of f dot dl. And over here, f is charged on the electron multiplied by the magnitude of the induced electric field. So we can place that over here and when we do that, we will get this is equal to the charge on the electron integral of e dot dl. Now if we divide both the sides by the charge on the electron to get the EMF, we will get W divided by e equal to integral of e dot dl. And work done per unit charge is the EMF. So this becomes equal to the EMF. And previously we have seen that EMF is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux. So we can rewrite Faraday's law. Let me just make some space over here. We can rewrite it in this manner. EMF is equal to integral of e dot dl. And that is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux. Now because we are integrating over a closed loop, we add a closed loop integral over here. And this is the integral form of Faraday's law. Alright, so we started with how moving magnets make the bulb glow. And finally we are ending with changing magnetic fields, induced looping and circular concentric electric fields. And we expressed what we learned mathematically and included the factor of induced electric field into a Faraday's law. And now a Faraday's law is complete. It's nice to see how far we have come.


NN, The Tiger, Financial News Network. Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industrial trading down at $3.23, NASDAQ is off $285, S&Ps are down $60, that's a downdraft inside the NASDAQ of 2%, 1.3, and the S&Ps and 8, 9, 10ths in the Dow Industries. Gold, Gold contract down $6, trading at $19.72 an ounce. We have Silver off $0.48, $23.84 an ounce, light sweet crude. $79.69 a barrel, notes and bonds. Ten year note, down three ticks, trading $110.25, the 30 year off $22 at $122.09, the 30 year folks just broke, it's a cold consolidation, so pretty wild. King dollar, King dollar's up $286, trading $102.583, Euro 109, yen at $143, British pound at $127 to one US dollar.  The S&P right now, you get $58 million, which is not a huge amount. We'll see where this basically shakes up, but it looks like you're at $450, $453 a game right now. The Q's, however, they have both, they have, they gapped, they rolled, and they got huge volume. You can see that expansion if you're watching Tiger TV. We're already at $56 million, let's have to make an eye with $54 million to get an hour left, okay? You're breaking a swing, you're breaking a swing with volume. So we'll see where this shakes out. Now, we're at $375, and $372.85 would be the first place, that you get some, you know, so, well, we'll find out where you get some support. And we actually, we got there today, this was going to get interesting. So we got to $373.13. It's $372.85, which is the number. That being said, though, you're at $80 million there. We're going to do $56 million, $70 million or something. So, and we got to go to Kingdala because Kingdala wants this highest swing point. And, you know, we, market being down, that means he's more selling than buying, but this dollar is bearing on the market. And it's up to $268, $102.570. And what this baby wants to do is go to that swing, $103.500. That's how this is shaking out right now. Stay right there folks, come right back.


Good morning everybody. I am Mukeshari Singhani. I'm a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston and this morning we're going to talk about MR and its role in rectal cancer. The way we are going to structure it today is initially I'm going to talk about technique in terms of what are the dos and don'ts in terms of performing a rectal MR. We'll talk a little bit about anatomy which is relevant and pertinent to patients in rectal cancer. And then we're going to look at some cases where we are going to talk about staging and how best to use MR for staging these patients. Now one other important point to emphasize before you actually sit down and start looking at a rectal MR, it is very critical and essential that before you actually look at the MR in a patient with rectal cancer and apply the template and use all the principles that we are going to be discussing today. It is extremely important that the patient has had or undergone a biopsy and it has proven beyond any reasonable doubt that the patient does have rectal cancer. We cannot differentiate on many occasions between low rectal cancer and anal cancers using MR. And one should not make an attempt to do that. It's preferable to have the biopsy before you sit down. And the reason for that is very simple is the overall staging and treatment of rectal cancer is markedly different from that of the anal cancer. And hence it is extremely important that before you use the template for rectal cancer staging that you have a biopsy that clearly states that this patient has rectal cancer and not anal cancer.
