and welcome to this episode of Psychic Medium Tony G. Thank you for joining us. I believe in life, sometimes we all need a little guidance. We have questions about our path, career, work, whatever it may be. Also, we've all lost loved ones that we would love to reconnect with. Make sure they're okay. Just know that they're in a better place, so to say. That's where I come in. I'm a psychic and a medium, and I have been for as long as I can remember. Today's guest is a very, very special person who is very dear to my heart. Hi, Cindy. How are you today? Good. How are you? I'm excellent. Thanks so much for coming out. You're welcome. And letting me do this on air to you. So, Cindy, today you can ask any questions about anything. Career-wise, relationship-wise, whatever it may be. Or we can connect with loved ones who are already stepping in. Oh, let's connect with them. Okay, so first thing, your mom is here. And your mom is simply saying the first thing she wants to say. And it's always typically the first thing loved ones on the other side say is, I love you, I love you, I love you. They want to let you know that their love has not stopped just because they're not in their physical body anymore or you can't hear them or see them. They're still loving on you. They're sending you that love continually. And your brother, they're both behind your right shoulder and your brother has his arm around her. And they're like, for some reason they're saying, look out, you're in trouble now. We're teaming up, we're going to take care of this matter. We're going to take care of this matter, this matter, this matter. We're going to, they're going to be reconciling something for you. They're saying, taking care of this matter, we're going to reconcile this. Are you, do you have something that is needing to be reconciled or taken care of that you know of? No. Okay, mom is saying yes, she does. Okay. But now she would know sometimes, sometimes we will think it's something big. It's something bad, but it's not always that sometimes it's something very easy. Right? It's something light and easy. So it might be reconciling like a conversation you've had with somebody or helping bring something together. It doesn't really matter what it is. They want you to know that they're working on your behest to take care of this. They also want you to understand that you're about to purge a lot of things. How good? You're about to purge a lot of, they're just using the word purge, purge, purge. And then with that, there's going to be a sort of rebirth. Okay. So right now you've been holding onto things a little bit like stuff from the path, not only from the past, but just like collecting stuff. And you're about to like open the windows and go, what the heck? And just start like donating and giving and letting go of. And as you do that, you're going to feel lighter, you're going to feel better. And you're going to have like a transformation happen. You're going to have new understanding coming in. And then mom is saying, reconcile again. All the stuff that you've been holding onto represents things from the past that have not been completely healed or cleared. Okay. So, and we do that. We do that. We just do things like that. So they are saying they're going to be helping you distribute things to their appropriate places. Okay. Now, even though it seems like one of them is doing most of the talking, both of them are there and both of them are communicating the same message to you. And there's an uncle. I'm talking to my mom. Of course. Of course. There is an uncle stepping in right now and uncle. I don't know if I'm thinking it's an uncle. I should not take that assumption. But there's an uncle stepping in. He seemed like he might have been a little bit old. It's either an uncle or a grandpa. He was a little bit healthier and he was a little heavier and older when he passed or at least looked that way. But he's walking right in and standing there also. Whomever this is, he's very comfortable just walking in and standing next to you. If it's Fungus. If it's who? Fungus. He did this. Like one cheek up. So yes, I'm assuming it is. But he was so comfortable. He walked right next to you and like not stepping in front of your mom, but like right there next to you.  He is saying don't wait for others to, don't wait for others to tell you or to do. You need to get up and get going and do it on your own. Don't wait for others to give you accolades. You are the accolade. There's nothing else that can fill you. You're it, you're the prize. You need to realize that you need to realize that what has happened in the past is the past and you need to move forward in a very vigorous way. You need to cut. It's like he's showing me all these strings and they lead to a big parachute. But it's open so you can't make headway. He's like cut those strings, cut those strings. And he is saying don't get involved with Mishimashi messes. I can't, I can't even make that up.  Didn't know that was a statement. It's going to be now. It's going to be trending Mishimashi mess. And he's referring to a certain family member situation. And also there's going to be some boys coming in. Okay, technically they would probably like to be called men, but I'll just call them boys. And be very discriminating of who you pick. Do not just say I've got nothing else to do. Be like, no, if it's not what you're looking for. Because you can tend to just, it's not bad to see the good in people. It's great to see the good in people. Got that from her. Yes. And she's nodding. But it's more important to see what's good for you. Just because there's good in a person that doesn't mean they're good for you. She's good, isn't she? Yes, yes, awesome. Amazing, amazing. They also want you to know that they're going to be bringing in a present. But I'm also hearing the word prediction, prediction, prediction. So they're bringing in a present. And this present has monetary value because I'm hearing the word monetary, which to me always means straight up cash or money. And I'm going to ask them a few questions like, is this coming in the form of cash or a check or, I don't even know what that means, insert. Right? That's what I did. What's that? An insert. So whatever this is, it's a present and it has monetary value. Now, just because it's, I would assume it would be money, but I'm going to tell you there are other things that come to us that are very valuable. And they're saying, watch out for it because it's coming to you. You're going to get it soon, okay? There is somebody in your life that wants to love you romantically. You know this is not the right situation and they're biting their time. They're biting their time? They're biting their time till it's the right time. Oh, I have a stalker. Not necessarily a stalker. I'm going to say this person is somebody that if you said yes, they'd be all over it. And they're waiting for that time when you do say yes, okay? When you start dating, this person is, might not be an adversary to say, to talk about other guys too. Okay? This is obviously definitely a guy. And this is somebody who has an interest in you. Okay? So when you do start dating, which is going to be very soon by the way, Does this person that's interested know they're interested? If they don't now, they definitely will the first time you go on a date. Because something inside of them is going to go, whoa, wait, whoa, she's dating somebody else? What? What? You know, sort of thing. And then try to be like, oh no, she's kind of in mind this time. Like I've had her, not had her, but in any case, this isn't the person to get advice about these men from because he's going to shoot them all down. Because he has a personal interest in this. Okay. Very personal stake in this, okay? So as you move forward over the next month, you're going to have a lot of realizations and a lot of new understandings coming in. With that, there's going to be clarity like you've never seen before about people. People in your life right now, and what they need to do to get where they need to be and how they need to do it.  No one listens to me. So frustrating. The kids, the nieces and nephews. Yeah, but here's the thing. Just because you can see it clearly, it doesn't mean they can. And just because you are understanding their next steps, it doesn't mean they can get that in their mind straight. So even if you tell them, it just might be a point of contention between you. It might be like a she doesn't know sort of thing going on or they're just not understanding it from the clarity that you have at that point. So you're going to need to very eloquently state things and then let it go. Okay. Because it might cause some hardships if you don't. Okay? Now the next thing they want to tell you is that, okay, so over the next month this clarity, this ability to see things straight up as they are and some new perspective partners coming in. There's going to be four to start off with. I know. That's too much decision making. Well, this is what I always say. When we go and look for a car, we don't just only want one model put in front of us. And we might think, oh, I really want this car, but then we get to the car lot and we're like, oh my gosh, I've never seen this before. Or, oh, look, this has this feature. So look at these guys. They're curves that you're shopping. Each person that comes in is the opportunity to understand more of what you want. Now us women, we do this thing where we get in our head about do they like me? What do they want from me? How can I this? How can I that? And then our whole world becomes trying to like, oh, think about them. Where we have to be in this place where we're, don't worry, they're thinking about them. Trust me. The boys are thinking about themselves. They know what they want. They know what they don't. It's us women that are trying to acclimate to them. And we have to get into that spot where we go, okay, if I'm a square, I'm not going to try to shove that circle in it. I'm just going to find the square that fits. Either this is what I want or it's not. And then before we get emotionally attached, okay? So each one of these first four people are going to help you understand more about what you want, what you're looking for, and very importantly, what you're not willing to settle for anymore. As you go through this, you're going to find it gets easier. These aren't all romantic dates. Some of them might be a phone conversation. Some of them you might just be at coffee or at a bookstore and meet somebody. However, these first four come about, just know that you are going to get a lot of detailed information about what's important to you for the long run, okay? They're asking you to use it like a diary or a notebook to just jot down the observations and things that you would like, okay? So if you see someone who has a really good relationship or seemingly has a really, write down what you think makes that good and what brings that about, okay? After those four, if you do so, choose to talk to all four. Number five. Number five will be very interesting. You should have learned a lot by then. You should be pretty solid in this, no nonsense, no must, no fuss. This is what I want. If you're not it, you can go. And trust me, guys can sense when we're teetering and they can tend to use that to their advantage. They can be strategic about dating. We have to do the same thing and we have to be solid in what we want. And that's what they're saying for you to do. Be very solid in what you want, how you want it and what your no-goes are. Nope, this isn't happening, not at all. Not a little, not a lot, not at all.  You're going to be intriguing and you're going to want to find out what it is and you're going to get caught up in that. Don't stay away from that. Don't get caught in the web like everybody else has. The secret is not as all grande as he would like you to think it is or whatever you find out you'd be like, that's it? Really? Come on now. So make sure that your intentions of why your meeting up with these guys is on point with relationship. And I always say that you have to look at, especially in the beginning, you have to look at a relationship, a tentative relationship as a business. Would I do business with this person? Would I trust this person with my money? Would I trust this person with my home? Would I trust this person with other aspects of myself? And when you look at it as a business person, like a business partnership, you're saying does this person have good integrity, ethics? Are they financially responsible, morals? Because when you're going into business with somebody, you are looking at all of these things. We bring to the table in this business relationship. Once you do that, you're going to understand much better what you want and how you want it, and you're going to be able to move forward. When we look at a relationship as, oh, it's all unicorns and butterflies and oh, I have this great energetic feeling, then that's where we get messed up because those people don't always have great business partners. But if you find somebody who makes a great business partner, they'll be a great life partner. They just want to say that and make sure that you understand that clearly. Now, before I keep talking, because you haven't said two words so far, is there a question that you have? Who else is here? Because if I zoom in on them, there will be a lot of them and I won't get them all. My grandmother and my aunt were here. Okay, they're stepping in right here now. And yes, one of them had white hair and I feel like she was, if I'm getting this correctly, she's being held by the arm. By the other one that I cannot see, I can just see the top of the brown hair. So that's who I'm seeing right now. So they're walking in and they're coming by Mishmash guy. Mishmash, whatever he said before. They're stepping in and your grandma is just sweetness.  You are so wonderful. You need to smile more. You don't smile enough. She's always saying that. Did she? Okay, so that's your confirmation that this is her. And she is saying it again. She's like, just smile. She's like, don't let everybody know the truth anyway. Just smile. You need to smile much, much more. She's saying, it's only as downtrodden as you believe it is. So that's her. And she is letting you know that, again, they're saying there's going to be this gift coming in. It's going to surprise you. And you are going to be very happy with it. It is a very good gift. Now, for some reason, and I know this is your reading, but your niece keeps popping in. I keep seeing your niece on this side. Oh, who's stopping her? I'm thinking that they must have a message for her because she keeps popping into my vision. So if I just ask, why are you guys bringing her in? And now I'm going to ask them, they're telling me something and I'm going to ask them to state it in a different way. They're saying she needs space and time. She has a lot going on, and although you want to be there to really support her, sometimes space and time is the best thing because you don't want to be... I don't know if this is the right way to say it, so please don't... The way I'm going to say it sounds like one thing, but I don't think this is the way they mean it. You don't want to be the fall guy for whatever tragedies might come up. She has some things that she's about to learn, some lessons that she's about to learn. She needs to learn them, and if you're the trapeze thing underneath the trapeze, she will not learn these lessons. So it's really important that you let her stand on her own two feet. Oh, that was a beautiful way of putting it. Thank you. Let her stand on her own two feet and allow her to find her way because her way isn't even close to your way, okay? And we don't want any misunderstandings there. And you're very kind and loving and filled with light and would put yourself aside to facilitate somebody else, and they don't want that, not at this point. Plus you're going to have a guy coming in, so they want you to be all about that now, okay? You've spent your life trying to facilitate for other people. Let's move into this space. Now we have about four minutes left, so I want to ask you, did you have any questions about work or life? I know I've really taken off with this. I know. Well, I guess we can ask about the license. Yes. I know that you have been procrastinating, but now you have been given the perfect position that you have the time to do this. So still do it. Absolutely. If for no other reason than to know that there's something else out there, you are going to be magnificent once you really get into it. And I see, I just keep hearing the words, rehab, rehab, rehabs. So I know you know what that means, and I know that that's a passion of yours, and I actually, after this, we are going to have a conversation about something you and I, but rehab, rehab, rehab, and you are going to be splendid at making the right choices. I don't even know how else to say that. You're going to be amazing at making the right choices. So as soon as you're personally ready, get on it. Don't worry about changing markets. Don't worry about all the other things. Just do it. This is something, you know, when we come in, we have a checklist of things that we can do if we do so choose. This is one of those things you can check off your list and do that you would be quite magnificent at. And I just want you to know, it doesn't mean you have to go full on in it. There are a number of ways for you, not everybody can, this isn't true for everybody, but there are a number of ways that you personally can do this that will be amazing for you. Okay? Okay. So just know that. They're going to be very excited to guide you and help you along the way on that journey because no matter what, it's always about learning and growing and in different areas also. And you're going to find good partnerships when you do this. Very, very solid, good partnerships that are going to help you be very strong in that industry. Okay? Excellent. So we only have a bit of time. They do. They do. So I'm going to give you their like saying, we love you. We love you. We love you. Nowhere with you. We're guiding you. We're showing you things. We're going to come into your dreams tonight and tomorrow night especially, tomorrow night especially, where we'll bombard you with messages. You will not remember them all. Don't worry. Have paper next to your bed in case you wake up and you want to jot, jot, jot things down. And if you wake up in the middle of the night, make sure to write down whatever it is that woke you up. Okay? And we love you so much and just know that with everything. Okay? Thank you. Thank you, Cindy, so much for being here. Thank you. And thank you for joining us on this episode of Psychic Medium, Tony G. As you can see, when loved ones come in, the messages are always to guide you and help you. I hope you have an absolutely amazing day and we'll see you on the next episode. Mic's are down. You can keep talking now. Just stay seated please.


Our next color is Gabriel from Florida. Hey, hey, what's up game? I feel like we know you yeah Maybe What's going on buddy? What's happening guys? How you guys doing good man? What you got for us? What's your question? All right, perfect. So here's my question. So there's usually like a checklist prerequisite of things you want to take care of before if you want to do a movement like a Like a snatch right like so there's some mobility Checkpoints that you want to just make sure you cover My question is is there anything for like a sprint? I might be you know Overanalyzing this but I feel like I want to do a sprint But I'm not too sure if I'm if I'm there yet to do it such an explosive movement. Okay Well, let's get a little bit more specific here Gabriel for you in particular Number one. Are you looking for injury reduction or performance enhancement because there's two you can do it Kind of two different ways and then number two Where do you notice the issues in your body when you run or sprint or do you notice any issues? So first off it wouldn't be for performance. It wouldn't be for rehab or anything I do want to just implement sprinting to my Routine anytime I try to get on a treadmill be cardio actually turns into a sprint because I could just get a either boarder Or I don't know something So I do want to incorporate that but I want to do it the right way last time I did win a full-out sprint. I want to say About 30 40 yards. I noticed a really sore like in my right but to be honest with you So I'm just not too sure if it's if I'm even or if I'm just Doing it the right way because I know that when you take an explosive movements You just want to make sure you're you got your bases covered with sprinting I would I would start from the ground up, right? So I look at you the way your feet are striking on the ground your ankle mobility your foot and Foot strength and control your ankle stability I would look at that first because even if you're feeling things in the hips or the low back or Working your way up the kinetic chain most likely it's stemming from what's going on with the way you're impacting the ground So when it comes to running, that's the first place I'm gonna look at and address and assess so I'm sure I know you have most our programs. Yeah prime pro Yep, I do yeah so I would work on the toes and feet and ankle work in that area first and then work your way up the body and Most things that are stemming from are stemming from the feet I appreciate if I'm looking at my feet if I'm recording like I would probably record myself I guess running towards the camera am I looking for something some kind of deviation if I'm like for instance If my feet are collapsing or or any kind of way like what am I looking for? Yeah, I would say you're what you're really looking for not to get too technical But if what you're really looking for is a difference between the right and the left side But ankle proper ankle mobility should help either way but do it in a more dynamic fashion, right? So, you know how normal combat stretch you get into the position and you activate what and you hold that position for a second? Yeah Before doing explosive movement it might be a little bit more dynamic You move into the position activate and then move out and then move into it activate and then move out The second thing for performance believe or not studies will show that doing a few sets of a heavy Exercise before a sprint actually increases speed so and I don't this is not at a high intensity But let's say you were to get you know some dumbbells bring them to the track And you did five kind of heavy ish squats and then you waited about a minute and then you sprinted Studies will show that that can actually increase someone's explosive power as well Yeah, I appreciate this question a lot because a lot of people don't even consider that how many? Explosive movements have you done besides running and sprinting? So I like a box jump like I can go to maybe just below my rip cage Of as far as height so I can do those I can do that I mean like if you want to if you want to consider that yeah I would just consider like maybe implementing in your programming a bit more a variety of explosive movements that you get more Repetition with and you can build up that sort of resilience with your joints to be able to handle that Kind of a stress just to get the the response of the fast-twitch muscles takes a lot It exposes a lot of imbalances and things that will reveal themselves to you So, you know to do those in short bouts and really like you know focus on the reps of You know like short bouts even like with a sled and being able to be a little more explosive with You know driving the sled forward will help a lot. I'm gonna keep going back to the ankle and foot stuff Gabe you have your phone on you. I do I shouted this guy out on the show the other day And I don't think this episode is aired yet. So check this dude out. I really like the content that he puts out I think it's a great place for you to like practice a lot of the movements that he has on there his Instagram handle is real game period athletics and It's it's all body weight explosive movements and he's all about technique And there's a lot of foot and ankle stability and explosiveness in there I think there's a really there's a lot of really good exercise I've been trying to get him out here to get on the YouTube channel so we can share some of his content Another guy would be Joe DeFranco, you know There was some controversy a while ago because Joe DeFranco talked about how driving a sled would improve someone's Speed in the sprint and everybody a lot of people disagreed with him. Well, it turns out he was totally right Studies actually showed that driving a sled Would improve somebody's sprint speed. So that's something else you can do now You guys are both kind of addressing performance stuff or he's asking prerequisite stuff That's the reason why I keep going back to like yeah, I mean if to me Like what everything that boys are saying right now I hundred percent agree with like to improve your sprinting But if they're if you're talking about prerequisites and what there might be a breakdown or dysfunction I'm looking at the feet and Sal said earlier like Very there's normally a discrepancy between left to right if you go through prime pro and you do all the all the test You'll probably notice one side will be more challenge the other address that side That's more challenging and focus on that and then I'd be doing exercises to really strengthen and work on the mobility of my ankle and my feet Okay, yeah, I'll make sure to do that and it's funny that you bring up the sled Sal because when you mentioned doing a heavy Exercise beforehand. I wasn't asked if using the sled would be best to do so So I am gonna just take out the sled and just maybe do some heavy pulls or pushes prior to doing a Sprint and then my question will be to Justin a follow-up. He mentioned doing other explosive movements Are there any recommendations for an explosive movements that I can add to add repetitions? Yeah Basically, if you're gonna emulate a sprint, I would do those in like have you ever done liners or do short bouts where You do it in a controlled way where we're just gonna run and sprint and then stop and you know and like make make that Specificity a priority in terms of the mechanics of the running so to to get off work on the start It add a rubber band to your belt. So you have some resistance when you pull forward Basically do some slam ball There's a lot of different things you can do with medicine balls to add explosivity. There's there's ice skaters There's yeah, there's lots of stuff like usually you mentioned box jumps, you know, you mentioned so just just thinking along those lines in terms of Moving very quickly, but under control. I love ice skaters and doing them like barefoot So really work on the foot and ankle stuff that I keep talking about and then doing things like ice skaters where you're doing I'm barefoot and again the idea when you're doing this to work on mechanics It's not about how much weight or how many reps you could do It's about perfecting the movement and just making it look extremely fluid and beautiful on both sides That's the reason why I recommended this guy that check out his videos I mean, I think he demonstrates so many different exercises that you can be implementing And then the goal should be to be able to emulate them like that to where it looks that perfect If you're firing on all cylinders on both sides like that, you're gonna be pretty damn well And it's he's a great example of being able to add like a lot of Acceleration but also the same amount of intensity on deceleration So both of those in combination is what's gonna give you the best mechanics All right, perfect. I appreciate it. No problem and thanks for your support brother always appreciate it Yeah, have a good one game. Yeah, at least I can do. Yeah, that's a really that's a very nuanced question to try and help somebody with Personally, I mean, I kind of know Gabe, right? So we I've been on his podcast and he's been listening to mine pump for a really long time So I kind of have somewhat of an idea of his fitness level and I just feel like before The poor performance recommendations come in I think addressing like Foot ankle stability strength and hip first getting that all really well and then implementing those things because you know I think this is a classic example of you know, you're he's not a serious athlete He's just a he's a fit guy who's into working out and improving himself improving himself And then wanting to jump right into like the athletic performance type of stuff When I know he's older, he's not a young kid You know I'm saying like he's probably got a lot of stuff to work on first Yeah, and I try to take it a little bit further make sure people know like, you know, if you're gonna go ramp to a hundred You know, if you're out there like running and you want to get into sprinting really like Gradually work your way up to a hundred percent. So it's you know, it's scales. It's it's 50 It's 60 is 70 you want to like ramp that intensity up So, you know, your body can respond appropriately because that's a lot of stress all at once that could you know end up But did you know who else has a lot of really good stuff and he did it during his rehab of his Achilles is our good friend Corey yeah, Corey Schlesinger has some good stuff and what's his handle? It's school of strength or I always mess it or stress Slash strength slash strength. That's what it is. Sorry. Yeah And I mean I did ask him if it was performance or you know that he was interested He did say performance, but here's a deal if you know, he didn't say he did No, no, no, you asked him that he didn't say it was performance. He said he said prerequisite stuff Yeah, but then when I asked him specifically he said he wanted to do yeah But here's the thing you're both right and here's well. No, here's the point Here's the point. I want to make is that people don't realize that Moving better and improving your connection mobility will improve your performance. Exactly. So if that's the issue That's why I say stay focused there You stay focused on just getting better mobility better ankle stability better foot strength That's gonna translate into better performance and it's the place to start What ends up happening to most people ask questions like this is you jump right to the stuff that's interesting Oh explosive jump boxes and ice skaters and doing like dynamic movements And you just haven't done and so I thought he answered asked a question perfect like he asked What are the prerequisites? What are some of the things before I go get into all these? Explosive exercises and movements for performance. What are some of the things I should look at when I think of a Good runner it starts from their feet. They got great feet connection They got a great take off there and if they don't it normally works its way up to connect chain They got issues in their knee or their hip or their low back because something's not firing in the last point too Is you know if you're really serious about sprinting and running? It's there a good running or sprinting coach is worth their weight. Sure. Sure. It's such a technical thing People don't realize how technical sprinting can be that if you have somebody who knows what to look for specifically That's their profession. They can make I wouldn't even if a client That was if a client was really serious to sprint out sprinting and they came to me I would be the I would be the first to admit like I'm not your guy without source. Yeah, it's just like Olympic lifting It's like yeah I can give you some basic tips and technique and I can maybe look at where there's dysfunction and help you but By no means am I a an expert in that field and if you're very serious about getting good at it Then I agree with you so


The current state, I would say, is horrific. To know that males and females as young as the age of 14 are dying through knife-related crimes is absolutely appalling. It hurts. I carried a knife when I was 14. It was a fashion. Everyone was doing it. At the same time, it was a thing to protect yourself. Carry a basketball, not a blade. Carry a basketball, not a blade. CABNAP is carry a basketball, not a blade. CABNAP is a campaign to inform the youth the dangers of knife crime by the same time giving them an opportunity to play sport in a safe space. It was set up around 2008 when one of my friends passed away due to knife crime. In 2008, 9 out of 10 young people used to carry a knife. The programme itself allows young people to become educated on the dangers of knife crime. We educate approximately 3,000 young people per year. Sport overall helps young people develop their skills, not just on the basketball but interpersonal skills. It took me to respect others and reflect on what should I do best. When I'm shooting, I just feel free the most. And that's how I've met my little friend. If I've got one child just putting down a knife, that's a highlight. We just need to keep on going. The people that have lost their lives to the families, my deepest condolences. For the perpetrators, you've done something wrong. You can always turn around your life and I've done it. And I'm sure you can, so just never give up.


All right guys, my name is Adam, I'm from Victor Ops. I'm actually from Denver, Colorado, but one of my colleagues is from Seattle and urged me to do a talk on the Seattle SuperSonics. So for those of you not aware, the Seattle SuperSonics were an NBA team that packed its bags and left for Oklahoma City in 2008. So before they left, they went to the NBA finals three times, won the NBA championship in 1979 and had seven Hall of Fame players. They were really successful and had great fans. So what happened? Well, in 2006 they were owned by an investment group that was headed up by Howard Schultz. They played in Key Arena, which was the smallest arena in the NBA and owners went to the city to ask for funding to remodel the arena. When they were denied, they decided to sell to another investment group out of Oklahoma City and that new investment group went to the city and asked them to fund a brand new arena. And when that failed, they told the NBA that they would be leaving. So there was a lot of lawsuits that followed but the city and the fans could not stop the team from leaving. So let's close our eyes and imagine a different world where the magical DevOps unicorn puts on the whole situation and let's fantasize how DevOps could have saved the SuperSonics. So the need for innovation really drove the popularity of Agile. And within Agile, developers are incentivized to release faster and faster and so they got really efficient at delivering code. Well, this causes a strain on operations teams because they are incentivized to keep systems up and running and those constant changes can bring those systems down. So these conflicting goals really pitted each group against each other, thwarting the innovation. If you can align goals, you can get everyone moving in the same direction and break down a lot of the silos that are built up, increase collaboration and feedback loops and thus driving innovation in your company. So it's not really as simple as this but let's see how misalignment of goals really affected the Sonics. Remember they were playing in the smallest arena in the NBA and the owners really needed to increase revenue so that the team could stay competitive, really they needed to innovate. And at the time the owners really stated that they publicly they wanted to keep the team in Seattle but let's face it, they're an investment group. They had one goal with the team and that's to make money. So they had two options. One, they could increase capacity or two, sell the team. So a few years before this, both the Mariners and the Seahawks received public funding to build brand new stadiums. However, each time the Sonics went to the city to get funding, the city turned them down and asked them to provide a higher percentage of the funding for the remodel. However, if both of these groups could have aligned goals surely they could have at least come to an agreement to remodel the existing arena. So it wasn't aligning goals that doomed the Sonics solely on its own. So let's look at how misalignment of goals really affects other areas of DevOps like silos, feedback loops and measurement. And as we go through this activity think about your organization and the goals of the groups that are involved in your delivery life cycle. So the misalignment of goals really creates natural silos and a mentality of it's not my problem. A lot of the voters thought that the owners were responsible for funding. The owners thought the public was responsible because the city owned the arena. So there was a lot of finger pointing. Were they measuring the right thing? So key arena in Seattle holds 17,000 people. Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City holds 18,200. So do you think they left over only 1,000 seats in an arena? Feedback loops are essential for decision making. And if you're not measuring the right things then you won't have essential or effective feedback loops. Now were the owners really measuring the right things when they were solely looking at the capacity of the arena? If these two sides were able to align goals and measure the right things then they could have collaborated to come up with a plan to keep the team in Seattle. Now would DevOps really have saved a team that was in Seattle for 41 years? I'm not sure for certain but I know it would have helped. One thing that I do know is that if they would have stayed they would have had Ray Allen and combine him with the fans here in Seattle they definitely would have won the NBA championship. I mean Oklahoma City went to the finals in 2012. So my message to you guys is as you go through the conference here in the next couple of days and you start to have discussions around these various topics and DevOps really think about how they're interrelated and they affect each other. So if you modify one of them they can hinder or help other areas. So thank you.


So many people drink coffee without actually knowing much about it. I'm going to help you understand the pros and cons of coffee, hopefully leading you to increasing the quality of coffee you're consuming, perhaps even eliminating it from your diet entirely. Coffee is actually the seed of a fruit known as the coffee cherry. As with all seeds, its goal is to survive the digestive system of the animal that ate said fruit to become implanted in the soil, grow into another coffee tree. This is why seeds have substances known as anti-nutrients, things like phytates, phytic acid, oxalates, oxalic acid that help the seed survive the digestive system of the animal by binding to minerals, taking them out of the body. And although this might not be too much of an issue in small amounts, what we're essentially doing is very unnatural. We're taking thousands of seeds and running hot water through them and consuming them. A lot of the other things from modern agriculture that we consume now are actually seeds. Bread is made from the wheatberry. The wheatberry is from wheatgrass. It is the seed of that plant. It's kind of crazy how far away, you know, we've gotten from nature yet how close we almost are. Certain herbivorous animals actually have adaptations to these anti-nutrients. As you guys know, there are many animals who subsist mainly off of seeds. Humans don't have those adaptations. What humans have are traditional preparation methods, such as fermentation. And depending on how the coffee is made, you know, the anti-nutrient content can be lowered to some degree. Other negative things can happen, such as an increase in histamines from the fermentation process. But by going through how coffee is processed, we can kind of understand which is better for certain reasons. But what will actually determine how healthy the coffee is for you is more in line with how it's made and how fresh it is. This is important, but not as important as other factors. People aren't really afraid of coffee. They think it's good for you. And what I hear brought up a lot is antioxidants. But the antioxidant content of coffee is insignificant, even compared to something like the coffee cherry. Eating the coffee cherry itself would give you hundreds to thousands of times the amount of antioxidants that drinking a cup of coffee would. So think about the coffee cherry. We need to get to the seed. We need to take that seed. We need to dry it so it can then be roasted and ground up into powder and then we can run hot water through it and douse our intestines. So washed coffee is where you take this coffee cherry, you remove all the fruit, everything. You ferment the seeds for 12 to 72 hours and then you allow them to dry. That can then be roasted and ground up into coffee. The natural or dry process is taking this coffee cherry, laying it out in the sun to dry, it'll turn into like a raisin and then they take that raisin-like coffee cherry, run it through a machine that removes the fruit, it is then able to be roasted and turned into coffee. The honey process is not as common as these other two. That is where they clean the coffee cherry, most of the fruit off. They leave a little bit of fruit on the seed known as mucilage. It is then dried immediately without fermentation. So this is arguably fresher, more aromatic, more complex. Since these two coffees are fermented to some degree, you might want to say that the phytic acid content, the phytates are lower because phytic acid is one of the anti-nutrients that is actually lowered during fermentation but it doesn't seem like the fermentation process of coffee is long enough to lower it. The honey process, I mean I would basically just try each of these coffees and see if you notice a difference in how you feel as opposed to trying to pick one because of certain reasons. Yes, the fermentation might increase the histamines, yes, this one might be slightly higher in some sort of beneficial compound, possibly even lower in some anti-nutrients but at the end of the day, anecdotal experimenting is what we have to do. What is important is buying organic coffee. There are certain herbicides and pesticides that are illegal in the United States that can be used in other countries. So if the crop isn't organic, it might be sprayed with these very harmful herbicides and pesticides. So out of anything you do with your coffee, making sure it's organic might be the most significant quality difference. On to the cons of what coffee can actually do in your body. So of course we have the adrenal stress issue related to consuming caffeine. Caffeine increases cortisol, the stress hormone in the body, which can increase blood glucose. This leads to insulin resistance and system-wide inflammation. Stressing the adrenals is a much larger issue in females. Paul Check goes over this and we'll talk about him later. He says that a woman is meant to carry two. So they have a much lower tolerance for stress on glandular systems like the adrenals. They are essentially a hormonal backup. So a woman can actually experience menstrual issues, fertility issues, a lot more stress and anxiety when they consume coffee. Caffeine has a half-life of four to six hours. What that means is if you drink a cup of coffee with 300 milligrams of caffeine at 8 a.m., at noon, four hours later, you'll still have half of that. 150 milligrams of caffeine in your bloodstream at 4 p.m., it'll be down to 75, at 8 p.m., it'll be down to 32.5, and at midnight, maybe when you're trying to go to bed, it'll be down to about 16 milligrams of caffeine. But you still have caffeine in your bloodstream when you're going to bed. So consuming coffee outside of the morning, you're going to have a lot of caffeine in your system. Histamines aren't really talked about. Histamines are an immune response in the body. The histamine content of a food depends on how much it was aged, and as coffee is a fermented food and a very old food, considering how long ago it was picked, coffee can be very high in histamines for some people. And depending on which of the four histamine receptors they bind to, you can experience so many different symptoms. You could have skin issues, you could have heart palpitations, insomnia, that's completely unrelated to caffeine. Histamines can cause a lot of issues, and they're pretty easy to recognize. You'll have an intolerance to aged foods, fermented foods for the most part. Coffee has a bowel clearing effect. Some people think this is a positive, but in both the urine and the feces, we see extra mineral excretion in people that drink coffee. One of the larger issues can be, if you stop drinking coffee, you become constipated because you no longer have that level of stimulation to clear your stomach. This means that you really have to dial in your diet and fix other things if you stop drinking coffee. Arrays and triglycerides was initially observed by a vegan doctor, John McDougal, as well as Dave Feldman of the cholesterol code. He's done a lot of personal experiments on cholesterol. What they both noticed was triglycerides were fairly drastically increased, I believe about 10 to 20 percent, and for anyone who knows the importance of triglycerides in the blood, that's literally the amount of fat and lipids in your blood. It's a pretty good indicator of a risk for heart disease and if things are going right. They didn't really say why coffee raised your triglycerides. I don't know if they couldn't figure it out. I don't know if I missed it, but I'm assuming the reason coffee raises your triglycerides has to do with the increase in glucose in the bloodstream. It could also have to do with just system-wide inflammation, maybe from histamines. Another hypothesis I had was coffee can bind to minerals and take them out of the body.  I would be interested to see if someone was following some of the recommendations I make later if the same thing would happen. One thing that is commonly overlooked is the water source. Are you going to a Starbucks that doesn't have a water filter to remove fluoride and chlorine? There are so many possible negative things in water that fluoride and chlorine are just the tip of the iceberg, but it's something that can be eliminated. Sodium fluoride is different than calcium fluoride. Calcium fluoride is naturally occurring. Sodium fluoride we artificially add to water and it can cause issues in our bodies. Chlorine is literally a disinfectant.  Fluoride can also be in the soil. This is more of an issue when growing tea leaves, such as black tea or green tea because the soil is high in fluoride.  Not good. Onto the two primary anti-nutrient concerns. We have phytates, phytic acid, as well as oxalates. Both of these bind to certain minerals and take them out of the body. I believe both of them have an affinity for binding to calcium. Oxalates in particular are known for binding to calcium. They can also bind to magnesium and potassium to some degree. Phytic acid, as far as I know, can actually bind to just about everything. Iron, copper, manganese, and take it out of the bloodstream. Again, this doesn't seem like too much of an issue if you were consuming a seed in an amount that it would naturally occur in an environment. Maybe you have an apple that has a couple of seeds in it, but when you're dousing your stomach with seed water, we run into issues. The phytic acid content of the coffee is primarily dictated by the water exposure of the coffee. So when you have something like drip coffee or French press, the longer the water sits in contact with the coffee, the higher the phytic acid content is. That's why even instant coffee and espresso is much lower in phytates than traditional drip coffee is. Phytic acid is a concern in tea, as well, and nut milks especially.  Nut milks like almond milk, cashew milk, soy milk especially have the highest phytate content out of anything we're really discussing here. Overall, I don't see phytic acid as too much of a concern here specifically as all of these other things are documented much more commonly, especially oxalates. In kidney stone patients, 80% of dietary oxalates actually came from coffee or tea. And what's weird is the amount of oxalates in coffee isn't actually that significant, but it goes to show that frequently consuming coffee, which is a large surface area food, where essentially dousing your whole digestive system in a small amount of oxalates, we can assume the absorption is going to be pretty high. Oxalates can literally not only cause kidney stones by binding to calcium and depositing in your kidneys, they can deposit in other parts of your body, other tissues, and just cause system-wide inflammation. Hyperoxularia is determined by genes and diet. That's simply the inability to detox oxalates properly. As I said, this can be you not having genes that help produce enzymes to deal with it, or you might just have too many oxalates in the diet. Oxalates give food their bitter flavor and they are also a concern in tea. So maybe coffee that's less bitter is lower in oxalates. I'm not really sure what determines the oxalate content of coffee specifically, but out of all the things here, the adrenal stress, the triglycerides, and the oxalates definitely might warrant you experimenting with eliminating coffee for a period of time. So Paul Check is a holistic health practitioner.  About half of the information on here is actually from him. He also talks about coffee having a drying process on the body. It can cause you to overheat. It can impede athletic recovery. It can even cause tightness in muscle tissues and tension. He says that coffee can cause sexual issues in the ability to ejaculate. And coffee can also feed fungal infections. So if you have a fungal infection, definitely want to avoid coffee. On to the benefits of coffee. It does have amino acids combined with caffeine that can definitely aid athletic performance. And the reason bulletproof coffee started and people started adding fat to their coffee was to increase the digestion of these amino acids. Paul Check mentions that you should rotate oils so you don't develop an allergy to them. He also puts a grass-fed raw butter in his coffee and I always advocate for using high quality raw dairy products like milk, cream, or butter in your coffee. And I think it's very important that if you are putting something in your coffee that it is a high quality animal fat, you're getting fat soluble vitamins. You're getting fats that help you digest the amino acids. So after all of these pros and cons, how do we actually make an ideal cup of coffee? It starts with these three processes. Of course, organic. You want to mess around with these, see what you tolerate better. Make sure you're grinding the coffee beans as fresh as possible. So within a day to a couple of days, not only do you want to grind your beans as frequently as possible, you want to consume the coffee within about 10 minutes because it starts to oxidize.  Not good. Lots of inflammation, lots of stress on your body. For preparation method, Americanos are ideal or espressos and Americano is just an espresso with hot water added. This is because it has a low exposure time to the beans. Therefore it's much lower in anti-nutrients as well as caffeine. It has less than a quarter the amount of caffeine that traditional drip coffee does. We can assume that it also has a fraction of the anti-nutrients and negative substances, but it tastes just as good. So I strongly encourage you guys to try switching to Americanos. Let me know how that makes you feel. This is one of Paul Chek's suggestions. Some more of his suggestions are making sure you sleep in line with your circadian rhythm, you know, go to bed when the sun goes down, wake up when the sun comes up. He recommends you can chew beans like chew coffee beans to keep a little bit of caffeine in your system. And also he says you can use dark chocolate. I mean both of these still have phytates, oxalates. Even chocolate has these negative substances in them, so you might be opening up another can of worms, but it's definitely better than sucking down several cups of coffee every day. But why is everyone drinking coffee? It's because we're not getting enough sun, aka vitamin D3. If you guys haven't checked out my video yesterday, you should tan naked. It's actually me explaining the importance of vitamin D3. So if you aren't supplementing vitamin D3 or getting enough sun, definitely check out that video. For me, vitamin D3 is like coffee. It gives me energy. I have out of bed every single day ready to do anything. So this is to me a very important element of getting off of coffee and becoming the optimal version of yourself. Hopefully, I haven't discouraged too many of you. Whether or not you want to improve the quality of your coffee or maybe even try eliminating it for a period of time, it really is addictive and there are withdrawal symptoms. So this is something that has to be addressed with a level of intelligence. Thank you guys for joining me today.

You need a financial advisor with the freedom to focus on your specific needs. Whatever your goals, Reeve Potter can create a game plan tailored to you. Call Reeve at 432-0777 at Pikeville, Kentucky to learn more. March is National Social Work Month, a month dedicated to one of the largest group of mental health service providers in the United States. We spoke to Kailin Richmond with Judy's Place for Kids about the impact social workers have on the community. Social Work Month is definitely important for us. Our agency is filled with people from social work backgrounds, therapists, social workers in the interview sense, in the advocate sense. So obviously, pretty much our entire office is made up of people that are geared towards that kind of work. And ours is especially geared towards kids that we do have advocacy services for adults, caregivers, non-offending family members, that kind of thing. But, you know, it's just important for us to take moments to recognize the hard work that, you know, the different social workers in our office, you know, the hard work that they do. Over 3.6 million referrals are made to child protection agencies each year. Social workers have helped decrease the number of juvenile arrests by 68% since 1996. Working in an advocacy center is definitely difficult because, you know, every day you're face-to-face with pretty difficult and challenging stories, circumstances.  And so it takes a lot out of you and so it's important to have months like this one where we can just focus on, you know, bringing recognition to what they do and, you know, just honoring how great of people they are. Judy's Place for Kids works with several outside service providers, including Legal Aid, Local Law Enforcement, Child Protective Services, and hosts medical providers, child advocates, and much more in-house. I think as we're moving through Social Work Month right now, next month we'll be moving towards Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month. And I think all of the social workers here would just encourage people to be supportive as we move through this month and even into next month. If you see opportunities to get engaged with abuse centers in whatever town you're in, whatever area you're in, take advantage of those. If you see, you know, fundraiser nights, we have a 5K on April 15th here in Pikeville.  For more information, go to Judy's Place for Kids on Facebook. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.

Hello everyone, welcome to the NARCS Vibe YouTube channel. In this one I'm going to be talking about four things narcissists never get over. But before I begin, please hit that thumbs up button down below. It helps the YouTube algorithm to support our community. So narcissists believe that they are all powerful. They believe that they are untouchable and invincible, as though they can do whatever they want. But they're unaffected by anything you do to them because they're grand and imposing and they're very important. So they're meant to be inaccessible and impossible to understand. When in fact this is just an illusion and when you realize that it leaves them powerless. One, when you expose them. When you expose a narcissist that is something they're never going to get over and they will forever hate you and desire to harm you. Because they want to paint themselves as the hero or as the victim and they expect everyone to validate this false image that they've created for themselves. But then you come along and you point out that their image is not as stable or secure as they portray it to be. And that is when it all falls on top of them like a house of cards.  Because you see through the illusion, you see that it's all fake. They don't really care that it's fake. They already know that they can't do it for real. But if they can at least create a mirage it makes them feel like they're winning.  It reminds them that they are losing. So they try to win by making you lose.  So they end up hating you and desiring to harm you. Solely because they can't accept that they've been exposed. They may pretend to have moved on but they're still thinking about you. They're still thinking of ways to sabotage what you've got going on because you destroyed their false image. They may act like they're happy and they're not thinking about you. But once you manage to affect the way that they see themselves they never let go. Because the entire time they subdued their true needs and desires for something real. Instead of something that they fabricated in their minds and then projected onto reality. So when you show up and they see that you're the real deal and you've accomplished things for real. It makes them feel offended, ashamed, humiliated and deeply embarrassed. And that is something that will remain with them until the end of their lives. It's something that they will never get over. If you're finding this video helpful please do give it a thumbs up down below. Onto number two when they lose control of you. This is something that typically occurs with narcissistic parents. But it can also happen in relationships with narcissists that are possessive and controlling. When you regain control of your life and you gain independence it destroys their false reality. It causes them a great deal of disturbance, confusion and uncertainty. Because the entire time they were coordinating the elements of the situation to produce their desired effects. Where everything was under their control. So when you gain independence it makes them feel at a state of shock and despair. Especially when you gain financial independence from a narcissist who is using money to control you. Because your financial freedom leaves you to be no longer dependent on them.  Which is why if you start working and earning money they will oppose you and they will deliberately try to prevent your success and development. Because they fear the loss of control over you.  Where you are submissive and compliant. But for you that serves as a means to an end. It prevents you from progressing and accomplishing anything significant in your life. Which is why they do not like your independence. Because they see it as a threat to their delusions of grandeur. Where they have total control over you. So when you gain independence it cuts off their supply. And then they will frantically try to regain what they have lost. But it will haunt them for the rest of their lives. Because you're developing rapidly and successfully outside of their reach. Which means you're no longer a part of their gain. And that leaves an emptiness in their lives. Three. They can't replace you. Despite what they may try to make you believe your supply is very rare. It's not something that they're going to find anywhere else. You gave them admiration, love and respect. Which inflated their sense of self worth. It made them feel unique and exceptional as though they're superior to everyone else. But that's only when you're around them. So of course they're going to experience the deprivation of these qualities when you're not around. Which leaves them craving for that time when they once felt desirable. By someone who loved them more than anything else in their lives. So when you separate yourself it is a monumental experience for them. To where they may do something dangerous and unexpected in a desperate attempt to regain your attention. Because they lost a potent source of supply. Which is shocking and distressing for a narcissist. So they will urgently try to find the replacement. But it becomes an unrealistic hope that cannot be achieved. Until they develop an obsession with you. And they end up stalking you or trying to gather information about you because your supply is very rare.  They may try to imitate the relationship with someone else. But it only frustrates them when they realize that it is unable to be fulfilled. Because you had so much energy and passion. So everything else seemed less important and serious in comparison to you. When you separate yourself their void becomes a persistent and unrelenting reminder to them. And the fourth and final thing that narcissists never get over is that you saw through them. In their minds they're always the hero of the victim. I can never do anything wrong. They're superior to everyone. But that illusion is powered by your belief. It depends on your acceptance that it exists. Because it does not involve facts or proof. They just expect you to blindly recognize their perceived talent or intelligence without a practical demonstration or explanation. Because they're in denial. They really believe that they are superior. So when you come at them with facts in their minds you're gas like in them. Because you're denying them of their false reality. When the reality is that they're really not as great as they think they are. So when you see them as they actually are they take it as an insult and they just can't comprehend it. They can't understand why you wouldn't be amazed by them. Because in their minds they're the best thing since like bread they're perfect. So you can't ever suggest that they could do something wrong. In their minds that is an attack and it will make them very angry. To where they will never forgive you.  Those are the four things narcissists never get over. Thank you for watching.

This video is part 2 of factoring. In this case, we're going to be looking for a is greater than 1 2x squared plus 11x plus 5 keep these two things the same and that's my a times my c Okay, so a c here is going to be equal to positive 10 this time and if we look at the b it's still 11 But when we make that x over here We have 10 up here and 11. It's a positive So I have the same signs my middle term is a positive So I have two positive numbers. I'm going to add together to get to 11 and that would be the 10 times the 1 So we have m as 10 and is one it really doesn't matter You could have said m is one and n is 10 just as long as you get them both listed So here's the ac method we take our 2x squared and keep it but remember we're going to Rewrite 11x with these two factors because it's just another way of writing the 11x It just takes two terms to do it. So we will say plus 10x and Then plus 1x so we take that m and n and we multiply it by x to get our middle terms And then we add the last term back on at the end So if you remember with four terms, we need to take the first two terms in the last two terms And when we factor here, we would have a common factor of 2x because they both have an x in them And then that leaves us with 2x. I need one more factor of x and Then 2 times positive 5 will give me 10x and the x is already on the outside so I don't need anymore and Here one and x and five don't really have anything in common, but they at least have a positive one in common if nothing else they're going to have that in common and Then one times x will give me that one x and one times five Positive five will give us that five at the end But remember with four terms it takes two times of finding the greatest common factor So we do it again, and we find out that the greatest common factor is that x plus five I'm not really scratching that out. I'm just thinking what's left over if I have that one already I'm left with 2x if I have the x plus five. I still have the plus one So this would be my factorization again. I did not cancel those out. I was just thinking Okay, the purple is just my thinking process So let's try this one Greatest common factor three negative 13 12. Nope. There is none AC that's the three times the 12 So AC is going to be 36 B That's my middle term and take the sign with this so negative 13 and now I'm ready to make my x and In the top goes my 36 and In the bottom goes my negative 13 you may be looking at this and saying I don't know what all the factors of 36 are I haven't really thought about all those. I want to show you a trick at this point So you're trying to find factors of 36 that might add up to negative 13, but you can't think about what the factors are of 36 There's a little trick that you can use in your calculator and what we're going to put in here in our calculator is AC divided by x And that's what we're going to put in our calculator over here And you literally could put in parentheses just like I did. What is my a it's three times my C which is 12 and Then divided by x or you could have put in I'll show you it doesn't matter If you knew that that's 36 like we do you could divide 36 by x we should get the same things So you put that in there, and then we're going to look at our table x and y Because because we divided by x now the x column is my It's one factor and the y column is my other factor and this y2 just shows you since these are the same things Then it shows you it didn't matter which form we put our equation in but I'm going to concentrate on these two And if I think about one and 36 I Need the negative numbers so if I go in here and look at negative 3 and negative 12 that's going to be negative 15 Negative 4 and negative 9. Oh, there's my negative 13 right there So I can come over here and say that this is negative 4 and negative 9. That's my m and n So let's see what we can do here. Remember with the AC method we put our first term and Our last term and then we leave space for the other two terms And our other two terms come from the m and n and all we have to remember to do is put an x with them And then drag them over here So we have them. Let me change my color minus 4x and minus 9x It doesn't matter which one went where it'll all end up factoring the same no matter what and those aren't x's those are t's Gotta keep consistent with our variables here So we take these two terms and the common factor would be t So I need a 3 and one more factor of t and I need a negative 4 And that would give me my 3t squared minus 4t and now when I have negative 9t plus 12 in here You got to be careful when you got this negative in the middle as your third term like that Typically not always, but typically it'll be a negative that you want to factor out And if you think about it, I need to get it to be a 3t minus 4 and right now my 12 is a positive So I probably do want that negative to come out of there So a negative and 9 and 12 have 3 in common That will leave me with negative 3 times 3 is 9 times t So 3t and negative 3 times negative 4 will give me the 12 And now I can see that these two things are the same So when I do my factoring of my first two terms in my last two terms That's my greatest common factor And my other factor would be the t on the outside and the negative 3 on the outside that make up my second factor Our final problem here. We have to look for greatest common factor Always remember that's the first thing you have to do. So 8 and negative 12 and negative 80 all have a common factor of 4 So our greatest common factor is going to be 4 And if I then find the other factor that would be 2y squared times 4 would be 8 y squared and if I multiply by negative 3, I'll have and Y I'll have negative 12 y and If I take 4 times negative 20, that'll give me negative 80 So when I think about my AC, I'm going to take the 2 times the negative 20, which is negative 40 And my B is going to be my negative 3 And so I come over to my calculator and I've already put in the negative 40 So we're ready to go look at the table and I'm trying to add up to negative 3 Well one and this would be 39 2 and negative 20 would be 18 negative 18 4 negative 10 would be negative 6 5 and negative 8 would be negative 3 So there they are we have a negative 8 and a positive 5 If you can and the reason why I wrote negative 8 first is because it makes it nice For that third term if you could write your negative first all the time now we have to take this polynomial and Find our solution from the rest of the factors from that So we still have our four, but we've got to find our two binomials and we're going to work on this polynomial So we have 2 y squared and negative 20 that we're going to put in here And then we're going to add the middle to be that minus 8 and Y and positive 5 y And your x Remember we were down here negative 40 and we had a negative 3 and we always put your negative to the left If you have opposite signs especially put your negative to the left that will make your third term a positive and it's much easier to factor Back to factoring 2 y squared minus 8 y has 2 y in common I have I need one more factor of y though And then 2 times negative 4 would give me the negative 8 and the y is on the outside already So I don't need any insight and if I look at the next two terms 5 y and negative 20 looks like they have a positive 5 in common Five times y will give me 5 y and five times negative 4 will give me negative 20 and nice things happened because these nice little parentheses parts gave me the same thing, but we're not done because we have to Factor one more time greatest common factor That y minus 4 is my greatest common factor and then the other factor is the 2 y on the outside plus the 5 that's on the outside of the second factor or second term and That would be my factorization that I need to put over here Because I can't forget this common factor of 4 y minus 4 2 y minus 5 and this is My last answer in fact, I'm going to so highlight that so that you can see that this is what we need for an answer


Oh, what's up brand man network? We got another exclusive and this video right here is simply to focus on not only how do I feel about playlists because people ask me a lot about that, but even bigger a checklist that you should go through to make sure that you're reaching out and dealing with a real quality playlist. So first and foremost, how do I feel about playlists? I feel like if they're good, they're good. If they're bad, they're bad simple. It's obviously a useful tool that you can get on a great playlist, but the bigger trouble is obviously not only finding them, but knowing if they are valid. Here's my six reasons on any checklist form that you should go through to decide if this is a quality individual you're dealing with or a scam. Number one, do a small test. Now, this is kind of tricky, right? Because you're thinking that if I could do a small test and they, you know, they're willing to do a little test and I can see a few results, then this person is quality. Right? This is a good person. They'll help me to do a test. That's where some of the trick starts in my opinion, because what you're going to find is a lot of people, particularly if they're quality and they know what they're doing, they're not going to give you a small test.  If I have a playlist, can I really control the people that come in and listen? Yeah, I can put you on a playlist, but I can't guarantee it. Oh, you'll get like 15 views or 20 views or 20,000 views. If I had a quality playlist, I'm not really giving out small tests like that. A lot of these people who are giving you and allowing you to get a small test are actually people who have the ability to push a button and these fake followers come in or these fake listens come in and now it looks good, but the money that you spend is going to be bad. So if someone allows you to do a small test, I would kind of question the integrity of the actual playlist or whatever system they have working out. Number two, see if the songs on the playlist actually make sense. Not only make sense for you, that should be obvious, right? If the songs on the playlist have nothing to do with the type of music you make, then why are you trying to be on that playlist? But even see if those songs on that playlist make sense being together, because this will give you a little insight. Of course, some people might have these big songs on playlists to just make sure people keep listening and things like that that are already successful, but then they pepper in these songs from people that paid to be on the playlist. Cool. That's all good. But first of all, these songs that they are allowed to be on the playlist, do they make sense together? Because if they don't, that means that people either have bad judgment, which means it's going to lead to a bad following on the playlist. Why would people listen to a playlist where the mood doesn't make sense? It keeps switching between random songs. And on top of that, it could just be another sign that people are taking whatever money they can get until they have to move on to another playlist. So it's probably bad. Number three, do you think the songs on the playlist are quality in the first place? Because once again, if the songs aren't quality on the playlist, well, then the followers, the consumers probably think the same thing. So they probably are not listening to this playlist. The only reason it probably exists is for a scam or just a service badly done.  And it's that simple. So take your time, listen to some of these songs on this playlist, particularly the ones that aren't big and are paid for and make a judgment. It's the same idea that when people try to get on these blogs and they're like, yo, brain man, should I get on this blog? Well, do you care about that blog? Do you listen to that blog? Have you ever heard of this blog before you even tried to get on it? If it's not a blog that you care about and think it's quality in any form or fashion, then why would you try to get on it? It's the same for the playlist. Number four, look at other songs on a playlist and try to find the actual artist. See about those artist experience. What do they think? Did they get a scam when they were on there? Dude, they might not respond, whatever. But if they do respond, they figure it out. Did you get a scam? Did you enjoy your experience? Was it just OK? That'll give you a gauge on what your expectations to be. Because hey, maybe you don't care if it's not quality followers. If it's not quality followers or quality listens, your goal might just be to get the numbers up for a period of time so it can look good just for vanity.   So make sure you ask around if you can and define somebody. Number five, how cheap is this playlist? And what are they promising? Are they promising you these guaranteed views and things like that? I have a lot of question when it comes to guaranteeing a certain number because I know if I had a playlist, I would not guarantee a certain number. I would say, hey, right now, a lot of songs on the playlist have around these plays, but I wouldn't say you're going to get 5,000 views or you're going to get 6,000 listens. Whatever it is, you're going to get 200 followers. I wouldn't do that if I had a playlist. The reason being is you can never guarantee something like that unless you are dumping a system where you're pushing a button and these fake things come in. And once you hit that measurement, you can move on and say, hey, you did the job. These are not Facebook ads. When you do paid ads, that works completely well because you can literally keep running an ad till you hit that number. If you're putting it on a playlist, it's kind of like putting it on an Instagram post. Yeah, sometimes you get 10 views. Sometimes you get 500 views. Sometimes you get 1,000 views. All they can do is post it on their platform and then hope people like it. And I kind of mixed that one in, right? So let's just say number five is about guaranteed plays. Where are their guarantees? If they're guaranteeing something, it gets kind of fishy as well. That should be a bell to kind of ring off and say, eh, I don't know about this one, but we'll say number six. Is it too cheap? Because if it's super cheap, then it probably isn't worth it. Anybody with a quality playlist of a real quality playlist is gonna get you a lot of views. They're charging what they're worth. Why would they not charge what they're worth? So think about it that way, keep it straight simple. However, you need to make sure you keep these other things in mind because just because something gets expensive doesn't mean that it's quality either. That just means you might lose more money. So also use the rest of the things on this playlist. I'm on this checklist. And although in a bonus, number seven is if you actually use one of these things, right? The next step is just saying what are the results after the campaign, right? Point blank. One day I was doing the test. This is probably about two years ago now. I used the website that I just came across and I was testing literally so I could find some services to recommend on the Brandman YouTube channel. But the services all that I used and found that I was testing, they had this one thing in common. You'll see a huge bump in views and listens in a short period of time on the Spotify playlist and then once the campaign stops, it literally just dropped off. That's something you guys should keep in mind because yeah, you might get a good result and it might seem good at first but don't ever judge the results of your campaign until one week, two weeks, three weeks afterwards because if you got 500,000 listens and then next thing you know, after that week you're back to zero or you're down to nine, either your song is trash or whatever that playlist is doing is trash. So those are actually seven things in checklists form to keep in mind when it comes to playlists those are my thoughts and I'm thinking about creating a actual checklist so you can look at this before you actually work with a playlist. Other than that, I actually don't have a sign off of Brandman Network yet so I would love if you guys have any suggestions. You know, put it in the bottom of this video or in the Discord somewhere. I'm working on it, but let's get it.
