Welcome again, Abdul. Yeah. Thank you very much. Abdul, you have 20 minutes for the presentation and five minutes for interaction for the floor. OK. OK, thank you very much for letting me do this presentation. Thank you, Ali Hassan, for your invitation. Today, I will talk about coronavirus, fighting against coronavirus, a competition by physics approach. Actually, all of us have some, I mean, encountered this pandemic. And all of us know a lot of information about COVID-19. So today, I will start my talk first. I am Abdul Fiki from my physics department at Cairo University. I'm an associate professor since last year. And I am a junior associate at the ICTP. Today, I will talk about the pandemic, how it affects us, and how can physics help in fighting against COVID-19. So all of us know that more than 1 million people are gone due to the pandemic. And more than 50 million are infected with this virus. For us to know that this is the seventh defined human coronavirus rate. So we have six different strains of human coronavirus during the last 20 years. And we will see how physics can help fighting against COVID-19. These are the immersive human coronavirus strains that have some symptoms like flu or cold. And the most affecting three types, three strains, are the SARS-CoV, which started in 2002. And MERS, or Middle Isis Baratulis Syndrome coronavirus, started 2012. And the current COVID-19, or SARS-CoV-2, there is an intermediate host, which are CVT-CAT in the case of SARS, Dromedary Camel in the case of MERS. And it is unknown today which is the intermediate host that transfers this coronavirus to human. But Bangolin is a snake, maybe the host, the intermediate host. So today we talk about the coronavirus disease. So sorry. So Africa is less affected with the human coronavirus with about 4% of the total infection and total deaths in Africa. And the research conducted in Africa is about 2.8% of the total research on COVID-19. This is less than the total population of Africa, which is 17% of the world population. But still we have some, I mean, we can help people around the world to get the ride of this infectious, high infectious disease. So today I will focus on the targeting of COVID-19. Targeting meaning that we can select some proteins of this virus by vaccine, by antivirals, by immune modulators. All of these are targeting strategies that we can work in. Today I will focus on the antivirus and vaccine developments. These are the proteins of the SARS-CoV-2 that we can target, the structural protein and non-structural proteins. For structural proteins, the most important is the spike protein. We have envelope protein, membrane protein, naprocapsid protein. And for the non-structural proteins are the proteins that it's inside the host cell, like the papine-like proteins, and the main proteins, and the RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which are the most important non-structural protein of the SARS-CoV-2. The red-colored proteins are that I used to target in my research during this year. But today I will talk about the spike protein only. So spike protein is a surface oxo-bose protein for the virus, and it is a hetero-trimeric. We can see here three copies of the protein that work together in a homotrimeric. Sorry, homotrimeric. And we have two populations, a post-fusion, which is minority, and the brief fusion, isoforms, which is a majority of the surface spike proteins. This perfusion are some are closed. Here we can see this region is called the receptor binding domain, this domain. So we can see all of the domain are closed, or one is open, or two are open. OK, this is over the virus particle. After infection, the brief fusion isoform transfer to the post-fusion in order for the virus to enter the cell. So the main function of the spike protein is host recognition. This is recognized some host cell receptor, like ACE2. Entry through the post-fusion isoform, the virus can fuse with the membrane of the host cell. And last is escaping the virus, the virus from the host immune system. Due to the glycosylation that present here, we can see a lot of glycosylation sites over the spike protein that help the virus escape the immune system. So now I'm talking about a host cell protein called H2 protein A5, HSB A5, or glycosylated protein GRB78, which is a host receptor that have a function inside the cell in the normal condition. This is a master of the unfolded protein response. Here we are. As we can see from this figure, we have two domains. There's a nucleotide binding domain and substrate binding domain. This protein has a main function inside the endoblasmic reticulum of the cell as it captures unfolded proteins and mediates through the degradation or refolding mechanism. So it's function inside the ER as endoblasmic reticulum associated degradation mechanism, captures unfolded proteins. And GRB has a function over the cell surface, which is called cell surface GRB78, which act as a receptor. Also, GRB is executed to the bloodstream, so it have some immune response. And some work was done for how to shake the concentration of GRB in the blood and detect if the patient is COVID-19 infected or not. So the complementary test with the PCR and other tests that used to check the infectivity of SARS-CoV-2. Here, we can see the nucleotide binding domain, how the ATB, ATB-ADB binding affects the structural flexibility and the structural arrangement of the substrate binding domain. And here, we have two conditions, normal conditions where there is no stress on the cell. So the GRB78 is bound to three important enzymes, which are ATF6 and BERK and the IR1. These three enzymes are important in some physical function inside the cell, like the enhanced folding. So under stress condition, GRB is released these enzymes, make it available for its function. So the IR1 enhanced folding, ATF6, move to the apparatus where it is believed and go to the nucleus to act as a nuclear activator for the GRB over-expression. While the BERK is working as inhibits the translation and protein synthesis. So all over this cycle, we have a lot of GRB that over-expressed in the cell and transfigured from the ER to cytoplasm, then to the membrane of the cell to be available for viral or fungal basogen recognition. There is a lot of work that's done on viral or fungal infection that assisted with the presence of the CS GRB78 over the host cell. So in this study, I worked with some of my students on how GRB-expression can affect COVID-19 infectivity. We used computational methods like sequence alignment, like protein docking, and then the mercadimic simulation to check how is the binding can occur between GRB78 and COVID-19 spike protein. So here is a sequence alignment we used to check the different spike protein from the different human coronavirus strains. We have here the seven strains of the human coronavirus, along with the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. And we define here four regions that are able to attach to the spike protein. This selection is based on sequence identity and the presence of the disulfide bond in the first and last amino acid, GSS team. We check the sequence identity for each region, and we check the hydrophobicity index for each region. And we detect that region four or region five may be the best region for a spike recognition. After validation of the structural binding or the docking between the different regions, we define this region four, which is this eight amino acid as the best region that can recognize SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. So this is a viron. This is a spike protein. This is a trimeric spike. And this is the region four that can detect the ERB-78. OK. Now, this is the model that we built for the binding between GRB-78 and SARS-CoV monomer. So here is the binding site. We can see this is the region four, the red one. And this is the amino acid in the substrate binding domain beta of the GRB-78. So now, this is the model we built under a stress condition based on the infectivity of the virus or any stress response to the cell. GRB is overexpressed in the ER, released to the membrane, and becomes a cell surface exposed and can detect the spike protein of the coronavirus. So this work has been published in Journal Confection and followed by this letter to the same journal. We have changed the model a little bit by using this sort of structure of the channel protein. And this is ACE2, the receptor of the SARS-CoV-2 and part of the spike RBD or receptor binding domain. Here we make protein-brutin docking between GRB surface, GRB-78 and the spike RB-RB. And here is the binding site of this GRB to the complex. As we can see here, GRB can be surface exposed, but some protein have to carry this GRB-78 in order for it to be able to interact with this complex. So now we can come across the different coronaviruses strains. Can we see if the other coronaviruses can be used as a vaccine or maybe held in vaccine development? Here is part of the sequence alignment, multiple sequence alignment of the different human coronaviruses. As we can see here, there is three finger brains for the maybe the vaccination or cross-vaccination. We can see here this amino acid, cysteine, and this amino acid, which is proline or glycine. And here is the other cysteine amino acid, maybe a finger brain for recognition of the GRB. And this work is based on sequence alignment and also molecular dynamics simulation of the GRB. And we predict in this that we... Immersed coronaviruses, which are the coronaviruses that has low infectivity, like NL63, 229E and OC43 and HKU1, maybe cross-vaccinated with SARS-CoV-2. So we have here all the conditions for this, for Immersed Human Coronaviruses. And this work was published in Frontier in Pharmacology as a perspective. Now, we came to another point which is important, other viruses. Can other viruses be detected by this protein? Yes. We predicted the Ebola virus, Glockovidin-Gb1 to the GRB-78, a human babyloma virus, E6 to the GRB-78 and Zika virus to GRB. But we don't have time to talk about these viruses. So we focus on the coronaviruses now. Now, GRB-78 can be used to targeting strategy against coronaviruses. We can target the GRB surface GRB-78 with peptides or monoclonal antibodies or phytochemicals. There is a lot of work that used these three types of targeting mechanism against different types of cancers because the surface GRB is overexaggerated in any type of cell stress, like different types of cancer. So in this study, I focus on some natural compounds that can interact with surface GRB and so can inhibit the recognition between spike protein and GRB-78. Sorry, up to five minutes, please. OK, no problem. So now this is some natural compounds that based on natural product, we can see here all of these phytochemicals. This is four phytochemicals. Sorry, these are four phytoestrogens. And this is some oils, like from alive oil and the chlorogenic acid. Here we can see the cinnamon and cymoquinone from the lexid and other ingredients that we can find in our food. OK, so I tested these products or these natural products with GRB, how it can bind to the substrate, bind to the mean beta of the GRB. After making the molecular simulation for the GRB as a whole protein and see how is the dynamics of the different regions of the protein, this is the most dynamical part, which is the substrate binding alpha, which is important in some motion of this domain over the substrate binding beta. Because as a normal function, substrate binding alpha move to cover the substrate binding beta, domain beta. OK, so these are the docking we have done using autodocvina after clustering of the molecular simulation data or trajectories of GRB. And we can find these phytoestrogens are the best compounds in binding GRB78 substrate binding mean beta. We have here also some compounds that have best results. So these are selected three compounds that have high binding energy minus 8.3 minus 10 minus 8.6 and minus 6.9. So as a conclusion, we can say that we built a model for the cell surface GRB binding to the spike protein. And we try to inhibit the recognition side of the cell surface GRB with some phytochemicals. And we are working in this region to include peptides and maybe the monoclonal antibody in inhibiting the cell surface GRB78. OK, so thanks to my supervisor, to Dr. Wailishimi and my supervisor, and as a voice doctor, Dr. Khaled Barakar, Dr. Professor Salam Tardawi and Professor Ali Hassan Ali for his assistance and for helping me to do this work to my 5th department at Karen University. Thank you very much. I finish now the presentation. So if someone has questions, I'm happy to ask to her. Yeah, thank you very much. Thank you, Abdul. So you can unmute yourself and ask questions, please. Can I talk, yes? Yes, please, yes, yes. I am Abdul. Shilvia, did you open your video? Am I OK? Can you see me? Yeah, your video is there. Thanks. OK, I am a bit puzzled by your lack of specificity. You said that you can predict, at least you predict an interaction also with the E6 papillomavirus protein, with proteins from Ebola, which are very different. How do you explain that? First, we have different papers that say that different viruses can be recognized with H2O protein A5. But there is no prediction of how the binding occur. So I predict the binding site between the GRB78 and these different viral proteins. So we can see here in the Ebola virus, the glycoprotein GB1 is mentioned in papers that it is maybe recognized by GRB. So I make protein-protein docking and see which is the best regions that can bind. So I predict the binding site. And for the human papillomavirus E6, this is a protein that, I mean, since size inside the host cell. So it is mentioned in the review and other papers that E6 is stabilized by H2O proteins. But how this interaction occur is not mentioned. So I use a prediction to check the binding site between the E6 and the GRB78. And this also for the gyrovirus and the papillomavirus E2. So I just make prediction of the binding site. Based on experimental data that is public. Because no, I was just surprised by the large number of very different proteins that were involved. But OK. Thank you very much. May I ask a question? Hi, Abdo. This is Loredana. Nice to see you. So I have just one question. Do you relate to your calculations to correlate to any experimental platform, model experimental platform? Do you have any kind of data available on, I don't know, this GRB embedded in the membrane and recognizing the RBD of the spike? And which are the types of the experiment you confront to? Yeah, for my study, it is totally computational. I don't have any experimental data. I'm trying to make some collaboration with other people. But until now, I don't have any established collaboration with the experimental validation of the recognition of the spike with GRB78. But a lot of research have some correlation between the GRB level in the cell and SARS-CoV-2 infectivity. So people with COVID-19 are expressed GRB more than people don't have the COVID-19 infection. So yes, I am happy to make any collaboration with experimental people. But until now, I don't have established a platform. OK, thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, Ali, you can ask. Yeah, so thank you very much, Abdo. I have two questions for you. One is you didn't say anything about numbers with respect to the energetics.  Yeah, just order of magnitude. What are the numbers? Number for what? So in the GRP, so go back. So for example, the binding free energy between the RBD domain and the GRP, what is the binding free energy? Yeah, I used for this model. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I used here the Hadox software to predict binding mode and binding energy between the two proteins. So the binding energy was like this, 100 minus 100, 143. With the Hadox, I mean, this is the Hadox score. This is in kilojoules per mole or KKLs per mole or what? Yeah, yeah, and this is the Hadox score, not KKL. Ah, it's normalized somehow, OK. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So this is not the actual binding energy. And this number is a large number, is what you're telling me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but this one is not actual binding energy. It is just a score for the binding. OK, I understand. My second question is related to the talk from yesterday by Daniel, who also was alluding to the role of natural products. Yeah. Can you comment a bit on a class of natural products that he was talking about versus you, and yeah. Yeah, I see it's the last lecture of Daniel, and he have working with some different group of natural product. So for me, I was working with this natural product because, I mean, before coronavirus, I was working on GRB 78. So this is some combination of that natural product that I used before. And I tried to use GRB and found this is found in our food. So I mean, it is easy to find and not expensive. We can see some items here from the honeybee, from the cinnamon, from the black seed. So I mean, these items we can find in our food, in our vegetable and fruits. So it is, I mean, we can eat these vegetable fruits and honeybee and like natural product, and we prevent not only the SARS-CoV-2, but also any stress to the cell. So the message is we should move to an African diet. Yeah. This is the message. OK, thanks. Thank you. Thank you.

A whistleblower from an ICE detention center in Georgia is sounding the alarm about a practice that should absolutely shake everyone to their cores. This is from Law and Crime. Jerry Lamb reports several legal advocacy groups on Monday filed a whistleblower complaint on behalf of a nurse at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement Detention Center documenting jarring medical neglect within the facility, including a refusal to test detainees for the novel coronavirus and an exorbitant rate of hysterectomies being performed on immigrant women. The nurse, Don Wooden, was employed at the Irwin County Detention Center in Georgia, which is operated by LaSalle Corrections, a private prison company. The complaint was filed with the Office of the Inspector General for the Department of Homeland Security by advocacy groups Project South, Georgia Detention Watch, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, and South Georgia Immigrant Support Network. Local women came forward to tell Project South about what they perceived to be the inordinate rate at which women in ICDC were subjected to hysterectomies, a surgical operation in which all or part of the uterus is removed. Additionally, many of the immigrant women who underwent the procedure were reportedly confused when asked to explain why they had the surgery, with one detainee likening their treatment to prisoners in concentration camps. According to Wooden, ICDC consistently used a particular gynecologist outside the facility who almost always opted to remove all or part of the uterus of his female detainee patients. Everybody he sees has a hysterectomy just about everybody, Wooden said, adding that everybody's uterus cannot be that bad. Wooden, who is being represented in the matter by the Government Accountability Project, also confirmed that many of the detained women told her that they didn't understand why they were being forced to have the procedure. She explained that some of the nurses who didn't speak Spanish obtained consent from detainees by simply googling Spanish. The complaint details several accounts from detainees, including one woman who was not properly anesthetized during the procedure and heard the aforementioned doctor tell the nurse he had mistakenly removed the wrong ovary, resulting in her losing all reproductive ability. Another said she was scheduled for the procedure, but when she questioned why it was necessary, she was given at least three completely different answers. Another nurse then told her the procedure was to mitigate her heavy menstrual bleeding, which the woman had never experienced. When she explained that the nurse responded by getting angry and agitated and began yelling at her. Now at this same facility, the Intercept has a more detailed report about how the same nurse is alleging that they're refusing to test detainees and they're also under reporting COVID-19 cases at this particular facility. Now since the story broke, ICE has responded and basically they said that they're just going to defer to the OIG for an investigation and they say, quote, in general, anonymous unproven allegations made without any fact-checkable specifics should be treated with the appropriate skepticism they deserve. And I think that's fair. I think that we do need to be skeptical until we have more details. I think that there needs to be a thorough investigation. However, having said that, just getting the details about this story at face value is this believable to me, given what we know about ICE detention centers, especially at these private facilities, yeah, it's very believable. I think that when I read this, it seems like they're either being intentionally violent against these women because this would be an act of violence or they're just criminally negligent. But this is deeply disturbing, like reading this, some of the details I can't even believe it, like for them, to not speak Spanish and then get consent by googling Spanish, are we confident that they know what they're agreeing to? This is happening in America, allegedly. And I say allegedly because this hasn't been confirmed yet, but the things that happen at these detention centers, we already know it's horrible. Lawmakers who have visited these detention centers say that people are crying because they don't have soap or shampoo, they don't have space. And we know that COVID-19 has been an issue, there's been outbreaks at various facilities and it's not being treated with the proper care. And now they're saying at this facility they're underreporting COVID-19 cases and on top of that, they're performing mass hysterectomies is what the title says, mass hysterectomies. And there was controversy around the use of the term concentration camps. If this isn't a concentration camp, then I don't know what is, but this is deeply, deeply disturbing and I really hope that we get more information about this. And if we can confirm that this is true at this facility, then you know that other things are happening at other facilities that may be as disturbing, if not comparable to this. I don't even know what to say, like there's no words really to put this into perspective or to make it seem like it's real because it just seems like something that you hear about in a documentary that you watch on Netflix about something that happened in a different country like a long time ago. But it's happening now, yeah, so we have this information, this whistleblower is trying to get her story out there and we'll have to wait and see, you know, hold judgment for more details. Hopefully now, now, but the story itself at face value is disturbing to say the least.


Hi guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I'm going to be sharing with you my top 10 favorite neutral eyeshadow palettes. So if you are interested in seeing the eyeshadow palettes that I always go for and I always think of whenever I want to do a neutral look, then just keep watching. So I have a lot of neutral eyeshadow palettes in my collection. So for this video, I wanted to really stick with eyeshadows that really are true neutral shades. So not like a really warm neutral palette and not a super cool neutral palette. Nothing that's like rosy, plummy, anything like that. Like true brown neutral palettes that kind of helped me narrow it down to my top 10, especially since I love true neutral tones. So you will see some of these might lean a bit more warm. Some might lean a bit more cool. But for the most part, they're these neutral brown eyeshadow palettes that I absolutely love and I just want to get into it. Not going to be doing this in any particular order except for brands. I know you guys are going to ask me to rank them. Honestly, I just had so many neutral palettes, some were irrelevant, no longer sold, some were extremely old. So I just picked my top 10 that are still available for purchase for you and they're amazing. So anyways, I'm going to start off with my Colourpop shadows just because I have three palettes. They really have some amazing neutral eyeshadow palettes that I love. So I'm going to start off with the one that I'm actually wearing and this is a big one. This is the Barrett Necessities palette and it does not get any more neutral than this palette. First of all, the value of this is absolutely amazing. Now this palette does have flaws. I feel like a lot of the colors are extremely close to each other. There's not as much variety as there could be given how many pans are in this palette. But for the most part, this is such an easy to grab for a neutral everyday palette. I always grab for this whenever I know I want to do a neutral look. It is what I'm wearing on my eyelids right now. You can get so many different neutral looks with this palette. There's a lot of different tones in here and overall, it's a very well rounded neutral palette that is extremely affordable. I know some people don't like large palettes like this because it can get overwhelming but I just know personally that when I want to create a neutral look, I can always trust this palette to achieve that whatever type of neutral look I'm looking for. The quality in here is really great for the value and it's just a really great neutral eyeshadow palette. It's one of those palettes where if you buy like one key palette every year, you will definitely not regret purchasing this just because you get so many shades, so many textures and I really do love this palette. I haven't talked about it very much on my channel just because it's one of those everyday palettes for me that I wear off-camera but it's a really great pickup from ColourPop. The next one has been in my collection for quite a while but this is probably one of my favorite go-to travel palettes. This is the double entendre palette and I really enjoy it a lot. It does run a little bit more warm but there are more neutral neutrals in here as well. It's just very slightly warm because of a couple of shades but this has every neutral shade that I need to travel with because it is just very small packaging, super easy to pack, and it has every shade that you really need to create an everyday look so especially for a vacation where I don't typically tend to go too crazy with my makeup, this is great. You can do evening looks, everyday looks with it. It's a really nice palette and it's great for travel because it's also affordable. So if something happens where this would break, it's not the big of a deal to replace. So that's why I like bringing ColourPop with me on vacation because I'm not worried if the palette breaks. It's not a huge loss. You can just easily be repurchased. And then the last palette that I'm obsessed with for neutrals from ColourPop is the Going Coconuts palette. With this palette, I could also create the look that I have that I'm wearing right now. If the colors are in different place, I accidentally dropped this yesterday and all of the shadows fell out and I kind of just placed them back in. So if this looks weird and they're in the wrong spot, that is why. But I probably could dup for dup the shadows in here. So I would say this is almost like a miniature version of the Bare Necessities palettes. I love that you have a few warmer shades. You have a few cooler shades and just very neutral shades. These are the type of colors that I find to be most flattering on my skin tone. It's just a great little compact palette. It has a mirror, again, another great travel palette. And if you're into these type of neutral tones, this is one of the prettiest palettes that ColourPop has to offer. They have all of these colored palettes, but there's something about this particular neutral palette that is so stunning. And it's one of my favorite neutral palettes. I also have a couple options from VisiArt that I love. And this one is a very basic palette. This is the Neutral Bats. It's been around forever and it's been a favorite of many people forever for very good reason. It just has every basic matte shade that you need. Now, of course, this is an all-matte palette. So a lot of times since I do enjoy shimmer, I do pair this with other palettes. But sometimes there's something about an all-matte look that is really stunning. But essentially, if you have a smaller collection, you want something a little bit more luxurious. This is a wonderful palette to go for. The matte formula from VisiArt is absolutely exquisite. Full pigmentation, but also buildable at the same time. Great blendability. It's just a really wonderful formula. This has every basic neutral matte shade that you could ever need. And the formula just really works extremely well. And this may not be the most exciting palette, but it definitely is one of those staples. It's just one of those palettes where you just happen to dip in it because you needed the shade. Or you just grab it because you know you need a nice dark brown and they have that in here. I think a lot of people forget about this palette and that this palette exists. But it truly is a great staple palette that I do recommend. So many people splurge on because it has everything you need and you know it's always going to work well. The next neutral palette that I love from VisiArt is one that not many people love, I feel like. I hear nobody talk about it, but it's one of my favorites. And this is the Theory Minks palette from VisiArt. Now it is an extremely tiny little portable palette with only six shades. You know, VisiArt, they just have this very simple packaging because it is made specifically for makeup artists. So this can be just propped up just like a little easel and it's very easy to see the colors. I find the formula in here to be particularly amazing, buttery, creamy. So you have three basic neutral mattes that you could need and then you have three gorgeous shimmers to choose from. What makes this formula very special is it's those extremely creamy shimmer formulas where once you put your finger in, it glides all the way down your arm with full pigmentation. This is just one of the best formulas I have ever come across. Great everyday colors. Before their little mini palettes came out, this was what I always recommended. People who wanted to try VisiArt to pick up because it's a little bit more affordable and these are colors that you know you're going to use. So this is definitely one of my favorite palettes from VisiArt ever. I just find the quality in this to be exceptional and the colors super easy to grab for. For the last five, they are from Miscellaneous Brands, but I can't believe this is ranking so high but I truly do love it and I find myself grabbing for it a lot and that is the Dominique Latte palette. This is the original first palette and I think I love it specifically for this shade right here. It has some glitter in it, but it is a beautiful glitter eyeshadow. Now obviously with these down here, it kind of takes away from the neutral part of the palette. But as soon as you cover these up, you have a true neutral palette and I just love the shades in here. They are so basic. They are so simple. They work extremely well and they look flattering on everybody. I really enjoy this palette. I love the curation of colors that she chose from and it's just a solid neutral palette. Now in a lot of these palettes, so many of these shades can be duped from each other. These are the type of neutral tones that I do enjoy, but I really do love this palette and every time I wear it, I always get compliments on the makeup that I am wearing and I credit it largely to this Espresso shade. It's one of my favorite eyeshadows ever. The next palette that we have is from Natasha Denona. So it's a little bit more pricey, but this is such an amazing neutral palette. This is the Beba palette from Natasha. Now this formulation is one of the most buttery, creamy and smooth formulas you will ever experience. Basically, as soon as you put these shadows on the lid, they will blend themselves for you. I think it is a great matte to shimmer ratio. The majority of this palette is matte, which typically you use more matte than you do shimmer. You'll kind of just pop a shimmer on the lid and then you use the matte to do most of the work. So it's really perfect how you have a deeper golden shade, a mid-tone gold and then a champagne. That's kind of all you really need as far as a neutral shimmer on the lid goes. And then you have a bunch of different tones of browns to choose from to really kind of curate the look that you're going for. If you're looking for something that has a lot of options that's more on the luxurious side with extreme ease of use, I would definitely go with this palette. It really lays out everything that you need and you can create a lot of different looks with this palette. So this is one of the larger palettes in this video and it's one of the best working as far as formulation goes. The next neutral palette that I love is from Scott Barnes. And this is the Snatchel Palette. This is another larger palette. Now this one I would say is a very unique neutral palette just as far as formulation. I find his formula to be very buildable. So you aren't going to get full impact as you would like Vizzy Art or Natasha Denona right away. However, that does make it easier for the consumer if you are a makeup beginner or just like light makeup. So you may not be impressed with pigmentation right away, but these do blend beautifully so that you can get the opacity that you were looking for. So honestly, I think that really marks a good shadow formula. If I had my own makeup brand, I would definitely want my formula to be more buildable rather than pigmented right away. So that's what I really like about his formula. He also has a very unique glitter formula in here. That is not in any of the other palettes that I'm mentioning. It's kind of like a lid topper with a subtle glitter to it. But once it hits the light, it really reflects and you have glitter all over your eye. So even though I am a neutral makeup lover, I do like some glitter to make it pop. So it's like a glam neutral is what I really like. So this palette is more so for those glam neutral kind of looks. You stick to those neutral tones, but you always have something to amp it up. So I really like that you can get that with this palette. So just the range of textures here, the bitable formula is what makes me enjoy this palette so much. And it is quite pricey, but honestly you get a lot of shades and can get a lot of different looks with this palette. And for a neutral palette, there actually is a lot of variety for different tones that you can play with in here. The next palette that I have to talk about is from ABH. This is probably my most used ABH palette. And it is the classic soft glam palette. I love this for myself for every day. I also love it for brides because I do do bridal makeup. It just has such very easy, soft neutral colors for every day. You can lean more warm with it. It also has a few cooler toned options. What I really like is the different options as far as shimmers go because you have a light pink. You have kind of this deep reddish cranberry color. You have a gold. Actually you have quite a few gold options in here. I just think these are very popular colors that people tend to want to go for. It's a really great formula. Very, very powdery, very pigmented, but still easy to blend and work with. It just has a little bit of a learning curve. But at this point, so many people have tried ABH. You kind of know how to work with it. ABH does not have my favorite formula, but it does work very well. And I think ABH is one of those brands that really curates the best palette and the way that they lay out their palettes just makes sense. So this is definitely one of my favorite most easy to reach for neutral palettes. And then the last one that I have is from Pat McGrath. And this is the Mothership Subliminal Platinum Bronze. I'm such a cool toned neutral lover that I couldn't not mention this because hello cool toned neutrals. Like I said, I tried not to go too, too, too cool or too, too, too warm as far as my choices in today's video, but I couldn't not put this in. This just has some of the most beautiful, cool toned lid choices. Now, typically I do not use this alone. There is one matte dark brown, but I do prefer to use another palette of matte shades paired with it. So that is when that Vizier neutral matte palette would come into play. But you just get such a wonderful creamy formula. Pat McGrath has one of the best shimmer formulas. They swatch a whole entire mile of full opacity with a brilliant gleam to them. Once you put your background matte colors on, you pop one of those colors on the lid and it's just, this palette is just so beautiful. I love cool toned neutrals all over the lid just as I do have that right now. And this is a really wonderful palette. So those are my top 10, all right? No particular order, but as far as a neutral toned palette, those are the palettes that I tend to go for that I favor over the others in my collection. But I do have three honorable mentions to share with you. This first one is from ABH. This would beat out a number of the palettes that I just mentioned, but it is no longer available. So I didn't want to mention it, but if you do have it, I would strongly suggest you pull out your ABH Sultry because again, like I said, these cool toned neutrals, I absolutely love this one is much more cool compared to soft glam. I just really love the textured shadows that they have in here. This is one of my favorite neutral palettes. So unfortunately right now, I do not believe it is available to be sold, which is a shame because this is such a good palette. And the last two you can pick up. I'm totally just cheating and adding three extra ones, but these are quads. So I couldn't put these over the big palettes, but I have two neutral toned Tom Ford quads that I would recommend you pick up if you are looking into Tom Ford quads and you do like those neutral neutral tone. First one that we have is Coco Mirage. You haven't experienced a mat until you've tried the Tom Ford formula. Totally overpriced. Absolutely. You know what? These are some amazing mats. So these are really staple mats and I couldn't really go through with it to put this in my top 10 because it's only four matte shades. But oh my gosh, they blend like butter and this is really beautiful to pair with another shimmer palette or a glitter lid topper or a cream color because you're going to have this to do all the work for you. Literally, I feel like you stick your brush in and you put it on your eye and it's blended like that three seconds top. So this is a really beautiful staple matte quad if you're looking for something of this nature. And then also we have the nude dip. This is an all shimmer palette though the shimmer is quite soft that you don't need a mat. But if you're one of those people where you need to have mats, I would recommend pairing Coco Mirage with nude dip. I just think nude dip has really gorgeous selection of shimmers that are just really sophisticated and extremely pretty and as a cool tone neutral lover, I can't not talk about this quad in this video. But yeah, I am totally cheating but I just I couldn't bring myself to put $2.80 quads in my top 10 but honorable mention to them if you are interested in Tom Ford, these are awesome. But I still stand by my top 10. I absolutely love every single palette that I mentioned to you guys. I have some affordable ones like color pop in here on ranging all the way up to Natasha, Janona, Pat McGrath and Vizier. So quite a range as far as prices go but all across the board, I love neutral palettes. They're the most flattering on everybody and I think we're always on the market for that perfect one. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I hope you found it helpful. Let me know if I convinced you to pick any of these up. This is the kind of look that I would wear all day every day if I had to only pick one look to wear for the rest of my life. So I'm very excited to share my top picks with you guys. If you are not subscribed to my channel already, I hope you take the time to do so. Thank you so much for taking the time to even watch this video. I truly do appreciate it.

So anyways, yeah, I will see you guys in the next video. Bye guys, have a good rest of your day.


A common situation is one or more people have veto power. They can cause a measure to fail by voting against it. In this case, the person who can veto a measure has power unavailable to the others. Suppose there are three voters, A, B, and C, who can pass a measure by a simple majority. However, a fourth person D can veto. Let's find the winning coalitions and the critical voters. They'll make a table. In order to pass a measure, at least two of A, B, and C must support it. Since D can veto it, D must also support it. So first, a measure passes if all voters support it. So that's the winning coalition A, B, C, and D. Next, if D and two of A, B, and C support it, the measure passes. So those are the coalitions A, B, and D, A, C, and D, and B, C, and D. So let's find our critical voters. Who's critical in the coalition A, B, C, and D? If D leaves, so they veto the measure, the measure fails, so D is critical. If A leaves, the remaining numbers are B, C, and D, and we see this is still winning, so A is not critical. And the same is true for B and C. So the only critical voter is D. In the coalition A, B, and D, D is still critical. If A leaves, the remaining numbers are B and D, which is not one of our winning coalitions. So A is critical, and the same argument can be made for B. So in the coalition A, B, and D, the critical voters are A, B, and D. And we can make a similar argument for the coalition A, C, D, and B, C, D, which gives us the critical voters. And now we count. A, B, and C are each critical in two coalitions, meanwhile D is critical in four coalitions. So in some sense, D has twice the power of A, B, or C. While we could use the numbers 2, 2, 2, and 4 as a measure of the voting power of A, B, C, and D, it's convenient to normalize these by dividing by their sum, 10. This gives the Bonzov index as a measure of voting power. D was critical voter four times, so they have Bonzov index four-tenths. A, B, and C were critical voters two times, so their Bonzov indices are all two-tenths. Now in most situations where somebody has veto power, there's also a way to override the veto. So I suppose D's veto can be overridden if the other three unanimously support a measure. Let's find the Bonzov indices for A, B, C, and D. So again, we'll make a table that lists the winning coalitions and identifies the critical voters. And all the winning coalitions from before remain winning, but there's one more. Suppose A, B, and C pass a measure while D opposes it and vetoes it. Since the decision to pass a measure was unanimous, this will override D's veto. So A, B, C is a winning coalition. Now D is no longer critical in the coalition of all four voters. The original winning coalitions still have the same critical voters. And in the new coalition, losing any voter would turn the coalition into a losing coalition. So every voter is critical. And now we count. D is critical in three coalitions. Meanwhile, A, B, and C are each critical in three coalitions. So we should divide each of these by the sum, 3 plus 3 plus 3 plus 3. So we can calculate the Bonzov indices. D is the critical voter 3 out of 12 times. So their Bonzov index is 312. A, B, and C are each critical voters 3 out of 12 times. So their Bonzov index are 312. And notice they all have equal power. So even though D has veto power, D's veto power is more apparent than real.


Hi, this is Helena Hart from commitmentconnection.com and welcome to my interview with Adrienne Everhart on dating tips for strong, smart, successful women. Adrienne is just a brilliant coach and she really embodies what it needs to be a strong, smart, and successful woman. I just remember the first time I spoke with her years ago, I remember just hanging up the phone and thinking like, wow, this is one of the most brilliant people I've ever spoken to. I was just blown away by her intelligence and I know that she has some really amazing tips to share with all of you today. So welcome, Adrienne, thank you so much for being here today. Hi, Helena, thank you so much for having me. I'm just, I've been so excited to talk with you today because there's so many amazing women out there who are really successful in their career and in other areas of their life and they just haven't gotten that committed, loving relationship yet.  Oh, well, that is all because of you. In one part, Helena and I kind of go way back. But Helena was my coach, you were my coach, and I really just hit rock bottom. I had read every book, I had found every guide, I had purchased everything I could off the internet trying to find the answer to what was it that I was doing wrong. I was successful, I was smart, I had a good income. Everything was really working out for me except my love life. So after going to so many therapists and I was married at the time, a marriage therapist, many marriage therapists, we found ourselves, my husband and I are marriage ending and we were just helpless. So when I got back out in the dating world and it happened with the next guy and then it happened with the next guy, I was like my goodness, I've got to do something to change this, I need to figure out how this works. And when I found the answer to not only heartbreak but how to date, how to get yourself out there and getting in to respond to you and how to grow that amazing relationship that feels where you feel confident, loved and you know you're saying and doing the right things.  It was easy. I love that and I know you recently just got married again, you're an amazing guy, so congratulations. Thank you so much, thank you, yeah. And you know, this guy and I, it was really complicated because we were both a little bit older. You know, we're not in our 20s anymore and you know, he's past his 30s and we're moving on into life and it gets a lot more complicated. And so I really especially love to talk to women who are in their 30s, their 40s, their 50s and I even have clients into their 60s because dating with technology is such an odd thing for so many of us to do and texting has completely changed how men wanna communicate with women in dating. So I'm really just cracking the code on all of that, figured it all out and that's what I hope my clients do. And hopefully it leads to a happy, successful marriage. I love that and we definitely should talk about that, technology and texting and how to respond to a guy, Adrienne's just a complete effort on that. So, but first I wanted to just, you know, jump right in and ask you, what are some of the biggest mistakes or struggles you see with strong, smart, successful women when it comes to dating and relationships? Oh, that's such a good question. Well, we kind of tend to think we know it all. You know, we're so confident in our job we're so confident at how we've become this strong, independent, intelligent woman and we believe in equality in the workplace and it works so well there. However, when you come home and you're with a guy or if you're on a date with a man, this goes back to caveman stuff. It goes back to allowing the man to be in his masculine energy and allowing the woman to be in her feminine energy. And quite frankly, a lot of times we as women, we think very differently than men of course, we can figure things out sometimes faster. We sometimes know a better way to do things. And if you're on the guy all the time with your intelligence, with your thinking and your masculine energy, this is just gonna push them away. So all of my clients are really smart, amazing, gifted, educated women and they are using that same masculine energy that has allowed them to survive and thrive and make it in this world. They're using that same energy in the relationship and it just doesn't work. Absolutely, I've been there myself. I've experienced all of those things that you've just talked about. So what would be the first step? Let's say a client comes to you and she's really frustrated because things aren't working out and she doesn't seem to be attracting the kind of man that she wants. What would you have her do? This is almost always her vibe. It's just in her energy. It's this invisible thing that ourselves can speak to other people and exude and have around us. So it's always something in your vibe which starts off with your thoughts. So you're thinking things, you're making judgments, you're in the future a lot of the times, you're thinking into the future. And so the first thing that I get you to do is drop down into your body, get into your feelings and get away from the judgments and the future thinking because all of that muddles up your vibe. It really does.  So your heart can be an invitation to men. And it's a real simple thing but just by dropping your shoulders down and just letting go and getting to this just relax, pass the place, sitting back in your seat, changing your body posture. This alone can make you like a man magnet. I love to do that one before I go into whole food. I love to sit in my car and get really into the soft feminine receiving energy and just watch the men just come out of nowhere. It's really fun to do. I love that. Thank you for sharing that tool. Yeah, I've definitely found just the tiniest shift in that direction can get a woman like that really strong powerful woman the hugest results when it comes to the kind of men she's attracting. Pretty amazing how it works. So thank you. It really is. And I'll even sometimes sit in an outdoor cafe and I'll watch women walk by and I'll see women with their shoulders up high and maybe they've got on shoulder pads. I don't know. But their shoulders are up high and they're walking fast and they're just carrying this really masculine energy. I mean, they should be in the hallways of the office walking that way. Not here where they can really get some attention and get some masculine energy. So slow it all down, ladies. Slow down your walk. Allow your hips to move when you walk.  I mean, it works for a lot of women and it can work for you to get into that feminine energy and have fun with it. See what happens. I love that. And I wanna switch gears a little bit. So when it comes to women who are actually they start dating. And I hear from a lot of women who are frustrated because they seem to attract men who don't pursue them who don't move the relationship forward. And this type of woman, like the strong, smart, intelligent woman can kind of be a magnet for feminine energy men who don't move things along. So what would you have a woman do if she's in that place?  We can sometimes not only be a magnet for feminine energy men, but we might like them better too. You know, we might like the artist or the soft, expressive man. So do you want that all the time? So really how do you take one of these more softer, you know, emotional, gentle guys? And how do you get him to be in his masculine energy? And it's so interesting. Sometimes we can just attract exactly what we need. Exactly the man we need into our life so we can learn. So one of the best ways you can activate his masculine energy is by leaning back. When you stop doing, when you stop controlling the situation, when you stop making the plans and setting the timeline, you know, I'll never forget one of my greatest sessions I had with you.  You're telling him, this is my timeline. This is when I want this. That's boy energy. You're taking hold of the situation. So I love it to allow my clients to lean back. Let's see what the man does. So this starts with the very first contact from a man. And I know, Helena, you and I both agree. If you're on a dating site, you've got to let that man contact you first. Even if it's a hi, how are you?  We really don't like them. But allow yourself to be contacted first. It starts with that very first contact with him. I totally agree. I online dated for years and years, you know, trying to figure out this stuff myself. And I always found when I was the one to message a guy first, he might respond, but it would never really materialize or he wouldn't really ever step up and try and talk on the phone or ask me out. So let's talk about online dating a little bit, if you don't mind, because Adrienne is a total expert in this too. Let's start with the profile. So what would you, I know you're amazing at writing profiles for women. Tell me a little bit about that. You know, what sort of profile attracts a masculine energy man? Oh, that's such a great question. So the best thing you can do is be expressive. A lot of us in our profiles, they, a lot of us want to talk about our career because guess what? It's one of the most important things for us. So if you do mention your career, keep it to just a couple of lines and talk about what about your career feels passionate to you. Where is the passion in your career? So let's say you're an accountant and you help businesses grow, for example. And you can say that I'm an accountant, I help businesses grow. And that's not really connecting with its heart. So instead you can say something like, oh, I feel so passionate about helping companies grow and succeed by helping them manage their money. You see, we're tapping more into that passionate feeling that you're having about your job.  You wanna come over? And I always tell them, you know, that's sort of more, it's gonna attract some part of a guy's anatomy to you.  So that starts with your profile. It starts with you speaking from your heart about how things feel to you, how a date is going to feel to you, how it's going to your favorite restaurant. Give the guy ideas about where you wanna go on a date and talk about how it would feel to be there with someone that you're really having fun with. I love that, that was really, those are some really good concrete tips. What about pictures? I know pictures are really important when it comes to online dating. Do you have anything to share about that? I do, I have a really fun one. So you're trying, you know, you're hoping to get a guy to peak his interest. And he might see face after face after face. And sometimes if it's a photo of you next to something like a statue or something where the guy kinda can't tell what it is, it's gonna peak his interest, all right? So I really believe in having your profile photos. Some people wanna use just their face right here, but I think a man is gonna be much more curious if he can't really tell what he's seeing.  I even have a theory, you know, a lot of times people have photos of them and their friends, them at a party, them with their family members and you're like, wait, who am I looking at here? You have to scroll back through those photos a couple of times, you know? And even that can make that person stay on your photos, the man, and get a little more interested in you in finding out who you are. So don't post a ton of photos like this, but definitely have one next to you with an object of conversation and have something with you and some friends. Show him you have friends, show him you have family and give him some pictures of interests to look at. You know, if you take a selfie, make it a selfie that counts.  And he can see the emblem, you know, Washington Nationals behind you or something like that. So make selfies that count that are gonna make conversation happen. That's what you wanna do with your photos. As well as be honest, be truthful about your size and your shape. Definitely have one close up of your face. You know, you don't want to appear to be hiding anything. I love that. Those were some great tips on photos. I've actually never heard some of them before. So that was awesome. Thank you. Okay, now I know you mentioned, you know, women do get irritated when men just message you high and this could apply to just texting too or online dating and you're totally an expert on texting and the technology of everything now. So I'd love to hear about what you have to say about that or how to get a guy to be a little more proactive or initiating when it comes to texting. Like, pick up a phone and call you maybe, right?  What has happened? What's happened? Does anybody use a phone to call anybody anymore? Yeah, so, you know, one of my things I do with my dating program is that I want you to speak to the man on the phone before you meet him. Not for an hour. I don't want you to talk all night and figure out all these things you have in common. No, this is just a quick phone call. You're going to connect with him.  You're going to start practicing with him immediately on the phone. So why is it so hard to get a guy to pick up the phone and call you?  They'll text you in the morning. They'll text you in their lunch break. Why can't you call me? You know, so I've been working on some scripts and I've been testing them out and the best, the kind of the rule of thumb here is have a couple of exchanges within the dating app. Start there, but just a couple. And you want to make this process happen quickly. You do not want to prolong it. You do not want a time waster, all right? And a lot of guys end up being time wasters. So go ahead and move right to, you know, after a couple of texts, wow, it would feel so great to speak with you on the phone. Here's my phone number.  And you go, that would feel amazing.  Stop it right there. That's your boundary, okay? So then the next thing that happens is he texts your phone and he goes, hey, it's me. And I want you to say, hi, it feels so great to hear from you. Wow, would it feel so good to talk on the phone? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Would it feel so good to talk on the phone? What do you think? Question mark, all right? So if this man doesn't start calling pretty soon, guess what? He's a time waster. He's got something else going on or he's got so many other women who are just texting him. So girls, unite on this. Do not become a text buddy with a man. Let's start a national, no, let's start a global movement. No more texting and texting and texting. Have the man pick up the phone and call you. So here's a bonus one. This one is sort of something I'm experimenting with right now but you're free to try it out. And this is after you've had some good contact with the man, maybe even gone on a date with him but he's just not calling. And you really wanna hear from him a little more often not with text. You know, even if it's a good night call or something like this, you're just, you're feeling that texts are dominating. So it goes along the lines of something like this. You know, I, you would say to the man, you know, I've been duped by guys in the past that just wanna text me a lot and it feels so good to finally meet a man who actually picks up the phone and calls me. And you just drop that one and it feels so good to finally meet a man who picks up the phone and calls me and let him know that you appreciate those phone calls over text. I love that, totally brilliant. I love what you're saying. So on one hand, you wanna find out if a man is a time waster right away and just drop in, I think is what you're saying, right? And then if you find one who does pick up a phone and ask you out and move it forward, really showing your appreciation and I could imagine a man kind of feeling like the man or feel like your hero. Yeah. That's amazing. Okay, so yeah, you want him to be like, I'm not like those other guys. You want him to be like, yeah, I pick up a phone and call.  You do not want this to turn into a long conversation that goes on for weeks. I love that. Okay, so let's say the woman now is dating. They've met in real life and what are some tips for when she's on a date or how does the woman move from just sort of dating a guy or they met casually to a committed relationship which is what we all want, right? Oh yeah. You know, that's such an interesting question because so many things can be happening with the timing, with that, how you're feeling, how he's feeling, are you having sex yet?  Let's talk a little bit about that. Yeah, I think that's a really important thing to talk about. When you say sexual exclusivity talk, what does that look like? Yeah. So it seems that most relationships these days work like this.     You know, how do you feel about that?  I have to be honest. And that word exclusivity, it scares them, it sounds like a relationship all of a sudden but you're just letting them know, you know, I don't sleep with multiple people at one time. I'm sleeping with just one guy, you know and if that's gonna be you, I need to know that that's reciprocated. I need to know that you feel the same way and but you just wanna give him the opportunity to say that. So you just lean back and say, well, you know, how do you feel about that? I'm curious, how do you feel about that and give him the opportunity to stand up and tell you how he feels about being sexually exclusive with you? You know what I love about that is you're not telling a guy, okay, I need you to be sexually exclusive with me or I'm never gonna sleep with you again. It's the opposite. You're just leaning back, you're expressing what's important to you and like you said, allowing him the opportunity to step up or not.  Like yes, absolutely. If he's the right man for her especially. So I love that. And what would you say to a woman who has been dating a man for a while, maybe several months and she is starting to feel, I know you're strong, smart, successful women. We can tend to think ahead. Like we can tend to get all worked up about what is the relationship gonna look like six months down the line or a year down the line. And we tend to do this because we wanna plan things out. You know, especially this type of amazing powerful woman that we're talking about. What advice would you give to her in that situation? Oh, that's a tough one because I'm guilty of that. You're guilty of that. It's always so much fun to start getting ahead and figuring out how this is gonna work. So it really goes back to clarity and clearness on what it is you really want.  Do you wanna be a wife to this man? What is it that you wanna do? Getting that clarity, setting that intention is one of the most important things a woman can do. So often I talk to my clients and I say, well, you know, do you wanna be married? And they pause and they say, yes, I don't wanna be married as if they've never said it to themselves before. And I want you to get really used to like saying what it is you feel to yourself first, knowing what you want. And then you have to lean back and see where that man takes it. And that's the fun part. That's the part that used to feel so anxious to me. You know, having to like let him drive the car, not telling him where to go, not telling him when I needed this, but letting him know, yeah, I wanna be married one day. I do. And then he has to figure out how that's gonna work for the two of you and when.  I'm not gonna be an infinite girlfriend.  And you know, you're not saying I wanna be a wife to you.  You're getting it out there. And then just keep practicing your tools. Keep, you know, being in your heart, using your heart as an invitation and watch how it unfolds. It's amazing. You always get the right answer. You always have the right thing happen. One of my favorite things is lean back, do nothing and watch everything happen. It's that easy. I love that. I love that. And I can kinda hear, you know, the way I was in my past, I'm sure you can relate to this and probably 90% of women listening, thinking lean back and do nothing that sounds so passive. That sounds like I don't have any power in this relationship. I just have to wait around for the guy to make all the decisions. So what would you say to a woman who would ask you something like that? I mean, yes, this is about letting go of control. This is about getting into your feminine energy and letting that man take the lead. This is what makes him masculine energy. This is what allows him that space to be masculine. So yeah, it's gonna feel like, you know, your world is a little bit out of control, but you're gonna start seeing things happen and that's when that magic happens.  I can just let the man do it. I can let him know what feels good. I can let him know when he's done the littlest thing that makes me feel wonderful. And he hands you a napkin. He says, thank you, it feels so good, thank you.  So as long as you can stay in that place, you're gonna see things starting to unfold. They will begin to happen like magic.  Yes, I'm laughing over here because it is magical. It is totally magical. I've experienced it myself. I hear from women every day are like, wow, this really works. It's really amazing. So unlike I said before, just the tiniest shift in this direction towards your feminine energy can get you huge results. So do you have any like specific tools or tips for women who are sort of feeling stuck up in their heads or in their masculine energy and they wanna start to move in this other direction? Oh yeah, you know, one of my favorite things that I like to do is just practice non-judgment. Practice non-judgment.   That's a judgment coming in. That's a judgment creeping in. So start looking at things as that's just a red truck. The sky is blue. It's cold today. It's hot today. Start trying to find things without them having a judgment attached. So when you get out of this place of judging everything and taking away its opportunity before it's had a chance to grow, really beautiful stuff can start to happen. When you just be playful, be giggly, fly by the sea to your pants, you know, and see what happens. I love that. Be curious, right?   I used to be this way myself and it's sort of like showing myself how I was always judging myself and it would manifest that way. I'm sure you can relate to that as well. So switching that judgment into playfulness and curiosity, I love that. I love that. Any other, do you have any other tools like that? That was brilliant. I loved it. Yeah, because when we're coming from this place with my guy, I met him on a date. I didn't even know what he looked like. I was so flying by the seat of my pants. I wasn't even sure what he looked like. I was dating so many guys and then I met him and I didn't like a couple of things but overall when I first met him, I was like, well, yeah, this is okay. I had to be open to it because when you're coming from this place, when you're rebounding from heartbreak of divorce, of a breakup, of losing someone you love and you have to start all over again with someone new, we somehow believe that we're supposed to go on dates and that person's gonna feel like the other person and they don't. It's a completely new experience. Do you love in a new way? I kind of think of this about pets I've had over the years.  Do you ever love them the same way twice? You don't. It's a completely new relationship and a new experience but I am here to tell you that it just gets better and Helena, maybe you can agree with me here. You think that the guy you've lost, you're never gonna have anything that powerful again and you actually end up much happier, much better. Yes, yes, yes. Oh my gosh, I could not agree more with you there. Absolutely. Well, that brings up another point. What would you say to women who have just been hurt so many times by men and they're just frustrated and ready to give up? I know I just hear from so many women in that position. I'm sure you probably do too. Yeah, that's a tough one because if you're ready to give up, it's gonna show in your energy, it's gonna show in your vibe and you're gonna attract men who either don't wanna invest in you or men that are ready to give up too. So that's place where you really have to work that out. I can't sell you on the idea of love. I can't sell you on the idea of marriage or romance or finding a partner. That's something that you have to absolutely decide that you want. That's your intention to know that you wanna be married again, that you can be happily married and build something beautiful with a man. So once you can decide that that's what you want, all of that other stuff, you're just gonna have to push it to the side. You're gonna have to work it out. You're gonna have to stomp the ground. You're gonna have to get that emotion out of you and find out what you're feeling so you can access your feelings without drama. There's a difference between drama and emotions. Drama is sort of like this trapped emotion in your body and it comes out in drama, but when you can find your emotions and you can just say how you feel to a man, you're gonna start to attract that in your energy.  They can trust you, you know? Yeah, finding your feelings is just key to switching into that feminine energy. That can be difficult though for so many of us women. You know, a lot of women, I don't know about you, but I hear women who don't want to open up to a guy until he somehow proves himself or they just feel too vulnerable opening up. And I know that's a huge problem out there these days. What would you say about that?  Someone has to make it safe. And I'll tell you that on my first date with the man who is now my husband, I gave up being perfect a long time ago. I want everyone to know I'm not perfect at feeling statements. I'm not always in my body. I don't always know the right thing to say. And that makes you quirky. That makes you interesting. That makes you fun if you can laugh at yourself. And you know, on the first date, I go out with him and these menus, they're the tall menus and I open them up and it hit me right in the face. Just between you. And you know, and we have been laughing ever since that night. And you know, he ordered this big tall glass of water and he just hit it and it went right up against the wall and it was like comedy of errors, our date, you know. And, but when you can show that person, I can laugh at myself. I can be quirky. I can laugh at myself. I can mess up. I can open my heart. I can cry. I can tell you how I'm feeling. I can tell you how beautiful the sunset looks tonight.  I can tell you about these little squirrels I saw, you know, fighting over an acorn. You know, it's when you can open up your heart to all of those things, that's when you have the man right here. Cause he wants that. He wants that safety and that trust with a woman. And if you can do that with yourself, you can do it with him and he'll love you forever for it. That is so true. Oh my gosh, I could just not agree with you more on that. The men really do fall in love with you for your quirks or what you would perceive to be a flaw. And we tend to want to hide those things and not show them to anyone. And I love how you put that. That was beautiful. So if there was just, you know, maybe your top three things, you could say to a woman who's like we said, strong, smart, successful woman who's having a hard time in her love life. What was like the maybe the top three tips or words of wisdom or anything like that that you could say to a woman in that position? They are all the same thing, which is love yourself first, love yourself the most, totally love all parts of yourself. It is so cliche. You can't go anywhere on the internet without seeing the words you have to love yourself first. And I used to just click onto something else too. I used to go, here we go again. I've heard this before, love myself. Love yourself is not about giving yourself pedicures and manicures and buying yourself nice clothes.   You love all parts of you. So there's no better place to practice this than in the shower, in the morning or at night.  You're gonna start having a lot of thoughts in the shower. I don't know if that happens to you, Helena. Yes, absolutely, of course. Brain starts going and all sorts of nasties sometimes are worries or fears or memories. Sometimes you'll just have a memory out of nowhere. And I want you to be able to say, oh, I love the part of myself that's remembering what happened to me when I was 10 years old. I love the part of me that's feeling like I'm not gonna be good enough on this date tonight. I love the part of me that feels 10 pounds too heavy. I love that part of me. And when you can do those things and you can love yourself, you're gonna be like a magnet to a man because this is not a beauty contest. Winning a man's heart is not a beauty contest. You have to attract him like you say on that gut level. He has to see your heart just shining and that's what's gonna pull him to you. So really loving yourself, knowing yourself, being able to get in your body and find those feelings and being able to express them. Those are my top three but that all starts with just loving yourself. I love that you gave that very specific tip, because everyone's has like, oh, just love yourself and be yourself. What does that mean? If it were that, I'll be doing it already, right? So I am gonna try that next time I'm in the shower when the thoughts are just, I love that. I think that was totally brilliant.
