So you have a looking ahead to Sunday's FA Cup tie I suppose similar to the first round against Halifax playing non-league side again That's a this Sunday's ties a real FA Cup proper FA Cup feel to it. Yeah, so it's a great tie for us because It's a home one and we meet a team from the conference again. We've got the experience of playing Halifax Which we've got to use for this game because Remember how tough that game was how physical it was how hard we had to work together result And this will be no different on Sunday and obviously we're unbeaten since the FA the first round victory over Halifax We're going in there plenty of confidence and after Saturday's pleasing. Yeah I mean it was expected for this being a cup game or a league game We want to keep our run going. We want to keep our form going Keep playing well as a team individuals Confident and keep them there so and continue it because there's no better feeling in football when you win and We've had a decent run But we've got to keep it going and I'm guessing about that talk There's no suggestion of changes for any of a reason then apart from injury illness or Ill-eligibility like Jordan Pickford. I suppose you'd be going with the strongest team as you possibly can Yeah, we'll pick the best team we feel to win this game and That's what we always do. We judge you on the last few games The way players have trained also look at the opposition and then we'll pick the team as she feels right


Aloha, and welcome to Business in Hawaii with Reg Baker. We broadcast live every Thursday at 2 o'clock for about 30 minutes from 2 to 2.30. We are broadcasting from the downtown studios of Think Tech Hawaii and beautiful Halalulu, Hawaii. We're a show that talks about successful stories in Hawaii, both the companies and the individuals. And we have a lot of success stories here in Hawaii. And today we're going to talk to two of them, actually. I've got Jan KaEO, who is the owner of Dale Carnegie Training Hawaii and Guam. And I also have Tom Jones, who is the owner of Kiotaku, who is a very popular Japanese restaurant here in town. So I want to welcome Jan and Tom to the show. Thanks very much, Reg. Thank you, Reg. Jan, you've been on the show before, and we've talked a little bit about Dale Carnegie and what you do and how you do it. And you brought a person that's going to maybe do a little testimonial for you. I guess Tom has been a user and a practicer of some of the skills from Dale Carnegie. So can you just share with us a little bit for the audience what exactly Dale Carnegie is and maybe introduce Tom, and Tom can share why he's here? Sure, absolutely. So Dale Carnegie has been around for 105 years, often credited as being the founder of workplace learning. He started a whole new industry called personal development, and from his teachings that he gathered 105 years ago came some of the greats that we recognize today, like the Tony Robbins and the organizations like that. Yeah, some of those household names that we kind of grew up with, at least some of us grew up with. Yeah. Carnegie actually recognized that if individuals and teams develop self-confidence, improve their communication skills, improve their leadership skills and their human relations skills, their people skills, and learn how to control their attitude and stress and worry that they could become even more successful in their workplace and in their home. Actually, and correct me if I'm wrong, but this was one of the first individuals that actually kind of developed that interpersonal skill type of program that everybody needs to have inside the workplace. Right. You know, one of the top selling books of all time is his book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and as recent as last year, Entrepreneur Magazine said that it is the one book that entrepreneurs should read every single year to be successful in their business. Right. No, that's a great background, and I guess you carry on that legacy here by offering classes and how to sessions on how it all works. Right. We have classes in, well, we have courses with Dale Carnegie. We have a Dale Carnegie course. We have sales training. I come from a sales and leadership background. We have leadership courses, both workshops and time-space courses to develop leadership skills, and we have live as well as live online training. Wow. That's a lot of going on. Yeah. Yeah. And I guess, Tom, you've been a practitioner. You've gone through some of these programs? Yeah. Absolutely. Interestingly, I took the Dale Carnegie course a little over 30 years ago when I was living in Tokyo training as a Japanese chef, and I met the franchisee from Japan, Frank Mojizuki at a restaurant, and he convinced me to take the class. I took it in English, of course. He was looking for English speakers to be in his English classes because most of the participants were Japanese, but they were, I guess, back in the 80s, Japan was pretty much taking over the world, much like China is today, and so there were a lot of Japanese executives in these courses, and so he asked if I would take the course, and I said, sure. So I found the course at that point in my life. I was probably about 29 at the time, to be just really, really foundational in helping me develop skills that I would need as I would come back to the United States with the Japanese company. No, I'm just curious, and I've got a little bit of an international background. I ran the international operations for the Bank of Hawaii for a while, so I spent some time in Tokyo and Hong Kong in different places. Does the course change at all by offering it in Japan as opposed to it being offered in the U.S.? Is there anything different, or is it pretty much the same? I think it's, you know, the Dale Carnegie Instruction is provided all around the world, so it's a global company with local reach. But you know, back in the day, back then, Japan was trying to emulate America, so the course was very much American style, with maybe a few adjustments for cultural differences. But now as it's developed, there are more cultural differences being taught in, you know, different countries around the world, I think. Interesting. That's good. And so you've had some really good success with taking the class, and I guess you have kind of worked with Jan over the years on this? Yeah, absolutely. Again, I found it to be really helpful in my own development, and so I recognized early on when I came back to Hawaii from Japan that managers that work for me would benefit, you know, in confidence, organizational skills and communication skills. So since I came to Hawaii in 1986, I've had managers that work for me in all the different companies, including my own company now, Kiotaku, take the Dale Carnegie course and leadership courses and workshops as well. So is this a benefit or I guess training that you provide to some of your key employees? Absolutely. I think employees respond very quickly to investments that you make in, and they appreciate the fact that you see value in them and that you want to help them improve. So immediately, just upon offering them an opportunity to take the course, you get a positive response from them, but then, of course, they take the course and they start to develop skills and abilities that, you know, they hadn't had before, and it really helps them do their jobs a lot, you know, a lot more effectively. Real positive for the morale, too, I would imagine. Absolutely. You know, and in today's job market, you know, there's low unemployment here, businesses, especially restaurants, but all businesses are really looking for quality employees, so it's very difficult to find them, so if you can't find them, you have to develop them within your own organization. And sometimes you don't have a whole lot of choice. You've got to develop them. That's right. Absolutely. Yeah, it's a tough environment. So, Jan, so you offer this not only to individuals, but then also to companies, too. I mean, it can be training for more than one person in a company. Absolutely. And when teams actually come into our programs and they learn together, they have a shared learning experience, the benefit to the employer is exponential, because now you have a team of people that are speaking the same language, that are looking to win people to their way of thinking so that they can be more effective managers and more effective team leaders. It's a win-win all the way around. Well, and I keep hearing that word team. I guess it really brings some cohesiveness to that team that's in the company, or I guess in your case, Tom, you've got different locations. Absolutely. So, you've got different teams in each place, and this really brings them together. Okay. You have teams of different restaurants. You have teams within teams. You have the front of the house, and especially in the restaurant business, the front of the house and the back of the house, they've got to get along in order to service the guests. So, it's really important. That's very good. And again, what these courses can be done, I guess, on-site? Are there any online capabilities? I mean... Yes, we do have live online programs. I was just on a call today with a local decision-maker that was saying, gosh, these programs are done by certified trainers. Are they relevant to us here in Hawaii? And I said, absolutely. I'm getting a lot of local companies who are investing in live online training because it's maybe more convenient. And what I'm finding within large companies is they're sharing the good news with different departments, and so I'm seeing enrollments come in from one department, then from another department, all from the same company. So that's another way to receive training on their own terms. See, and that's a great convenience because sometimes it's hard to get people to come together all at the same time at the same place, you know, and because we are dispersed out a little bit. Right. And until we get the rail going, it's going to be tough with that traffic. So... That's right. You know, it's good to have that online option. Right. That's good. And if people wanted to find out more information about some of these courses, where could they go? Well, they should go right to our website. It's hawaii.dalekarnagy.com, and you can see a list of our live programs that are scheduled between now and we are scheduled all the way to April of next year, as well as our live online programs are at the bottom of that list. Very good. So that's a great resource to have, and I guess, Tom, you give it five stars. I mean, it's a great way to train the staff, and you've got a lot of benefit out of it. You know, and you've also got some other interesting classes. It's not always self-improvement. Right.  Absolutely. You know, and so that's something that's coming up soon? Yeah, absolutely.  It's very different from your own generation, and so it's not just one-sided anymore. It's not the person that is 60 that is managing a 20-year-old. You could have the exact opposite, or you could have multiple generations in different hierarchies of the organization reporting to or working for each other, and so learning how to connect, learning how to be relatable, learning how to inspire someone who is old enough to be your mom or your grandmother is a skill that is really valuable to the millennial generation. Well, and what's interesting here in Hawaii is not only do you have the different generational issues, but you also have different cultural aspects, too, of what's going on, which makes it interesting. Yes. And then you throw customers into the mix. I mean, particularly in a restaurant environment, I can imagine it's a very dynamic type of activity going on in here. Absolutely. The restaurant industry is a lot of people serving a lot of people, and so there are human relations going on all over the place. And yes, it's important more than ever to be able to communicate effectively and with confidence to not only your employees, but also to your guests. And the guest expectation now is higher than ever with the development of the food channel, the food network, and so forth. People go to restaurants with much higher levels of expectation than ever before, and so they're expecting us to be able to deliver, so we've got to do our job. And I think, and I can speak from personal experiences, that I've got a millennial, somebody who's in their 25, 28 range, living in San Francisco, working for a company called Deloitte. So he's got a little expendable income, and I've got to tell you, he's a foodie. I mean, they go to restaurants, he practices cooking, I guess they've got services now where they'll send the food to the house with instructions. Oh yeah, absolutely. They have all this, and so when they go out, they're going not only for the food, but also for the experience. There's a component in there that I never really paid much attention to, but it becomes very important in today's, I guess, world. Yes, and when the experience is good or bad, they can actually communicate that satisfaction or not. Instantaneously, with everyone. So customer service is another area that we've had a lot of interest in, and just recognizing how to take good customer service to great, how to be exceptional in that customer to customer, employee to customer contact. Yeah, and I guess, and there's an awful lot of training that goes into that. And maybe awareness is probably the most important component, is that you just have to be aware of the different values and different cultures and different age groups have, both in an employee relationship as well as a guest or customer relationship. And is that part of what you also bring some? Yes, absolutely, and as Tom was speaking, he has had four restaurants that are very successful in a consistent delivery and consistent experience. And so, in the old days, we used to think of training as remedial training, something you did when something wasn't going right. But in today's world, it's about competing at a higher level, and so taking, I just work with an organization that is number three in their category of businesses, and they want to be number two, they want to be number one, and so it's not that they're doing anything that's negative, but they want to take that customer experience to the next level. So they have a company-wide initiative to boost their level of customer experience, they're gonna measure it, and we are lucky to be a part of that experience. You know, Jan, I want to talk a little bit more about that, but we're gonna take a short break. Okay. And then when we come back, let's revisit that point and maybe get different perspectives on how we move that mark up to the different levels. But this is Business in Hawaii with Reg Baker, we're talking with Dale Carnegie today and also a restaurant group, Kiyotaku, and we'll be right back in about 60 seconds. For a very healthy summer, watch Viva Hawaii. We're giving you the best tips and with our best health coach here. So Viva, health coach. Viva la comida saludable. Hey, how you doing? Welcome to Bachi Talk, my name's Andrew Lening, I'm your co-host, and we have a nice program here every Friday at one o'clock, Think Tech Studios, where we talk about technology and we have a little bit of fun with it. So join us if you can. Thanks, aloha. Aloha and welcome to The Savvy Chick Show on Think Tech Hawaii. I'm the weekly host at 11 a.m., Honolulu time. Very excited for the next six weeks, we have the Aspire series, which is all about the coolest careers I could find and interviewing and getting insights from these amazing people who want to share it with you and help you live your dreams. Look forward to seeing you on the show, aloha. Aloha and welcome back to Business in Hawaii with Reg Baker. We're talking today with Jan Keio from Dale Carnegie and also with Tom Jones from Kiotaku Restaurant Group. We were just beginning to talk about raising the customer experience bar up a little bit and how we have training that can help companies do that. And then we also have Tom that might speak a little bit to the hands-on approach to doing this. So taking the training to implementation. So Jan, can you just, what type of programs or how would you get companies to provide this training to increase that customer service bar? Well it all begins with making sure that the team has an attitude for service, has a desire to actually be of service to whether it be their internal customers, their fellow coworkers or to their external customers. And you'd be surprised at the sometimes lack of awareness of how that individual will impact their world around them. They never recognize that a bad attitude could have such a negative effect, not just one time, but down the line in their entire department. And so it's creating that awareness and then giving them tools to, once they recognize that the behavior is not what they want it to be, giving them tools to be able to change that. You know, from my experience, and you can speak to this, but from what I have learned over the years, I can teach people almost anything that they need to know. But one thing that I have a hard time teaching them is attitude.  And that's probably the one trait that I look for the most when I go out and I or somebody is that they have to have the attitude to learn, to cooperate, to communicate, to collaborate. Does that make sense? Does that? Absolutely, it begins with attitude and one of the key things is to help them understand what's in it for them. We all know what the manager wants, they want, or the owner wants, they want higher production at less costs and more revenue, that's kind of a basic. But the employee needs to know what's in it for them if they have a better attitude, if they deliver higher level of customer services, they sell more. So much of employee engagement is not so much, attitude is important, but a lot of the attitude from employees is driven by the way we treat them. And so we have a tremendous amount of control over their level of engagement by the way that we interact with them, the goals we set for them. And so our communication skills to our employees in many ways drives their engagement and what we call their attitude. Well, attitude is a two-way street, right? Absolutely. You gotta have the proper attitude to work with the employees and empower them and give them what they need to be successful. Exactly. And they have to know what's in it for them. It all pays off in the end. I mean, it results in happy customers that feel that they're getting the value and they'll come back and it kind of all fits together. So from an implementation standpoint, Tom, how do you, assuming a person's got the attitude, how do you work with your team, both the front and the back and moving that bar up to the next level? Well, most restaurants or any business, actually, is usually very good at their own technical training. We know how to make sushi or cook tonkatsu, tempura, what have you. So our training in those areas or our standards in those areas are pretty well set, but it's the way that we are able to deliver that training to the employees and the interpersonal skills that really make a difference and set organizations apart from each other. So that's why we use the Del Carnegie training with our managers to help them be better communicators. And I think one of the things that's basic in the basic Del Carnegie course, what they call the magic formula talk. And it's a short, two minute or three minute talk and you cover three basic areas. And so by helping managers be able to be concise, clear and drive the point home, you're able to get a skill that will help them when they're actually training people on the job. So those soft skills trainings are what we don't inherently have in our organization that we need to reach out to. And that's always something that for whatever reason seems to always have a little bit of a second priority is those soft skills. But once you've got the technical skills down and you're delivering consistently, the difference is really gonna be seen when you've got the soft skills to deal with the in-house and the external customers. And in many ways too, just reinforcing positive behavior. I mean, that's the easy, behavior rewarded is behavior repeated. So managers and supervisors who know how to compliment employees at the right time and provide clear compliments on specifically what those employees are doing are gonna be successful. I think you just answered the question I'm gonna ask, but I'm gonna ask it anyways. How do you, and I can see this as being particularly important in your business, I guess in any business, but in restaurant business particularly, consistency. You've gotta maintain consistency. And how do you monitor and ensure that that happens? Well, in our company, we have a lot of computerization of food prep charts. And so we take a lot of the mental calculation off the responsibility of the manager. So they don't have to worry about that. And then they can focus actually on the quality. But delivering consistently is important. And so having a training program and having a consistent core ideology or a mission statement throughout the organization that everyone understands really helps the organization deliver consistency. Do you have a coaching type of program? Do you have people to kind of mentor and kind of coach the others and give them advice as they're going through their work day? Yeah, absolutely. Each department has what we call, we have server trainers who are the best servers that we have. And they're not only necessarily the best servers, but they're the best at teaching other servers how to be a good server. So a great server isn't necessarily a great server trainer, but identifying those people that have those skills and then reinforcing their skills so that they can deliver good training is mission critical to our success, and the managers as well. That's great. And Jen, is that kind of incorporated into your courses and how to set that up and structure that and make that happen? We do have coaching for performance type of workshops. And we also model that in our foundational Dale Carnegie course, be able to coach and understand the elements of coaching so that you can help reinforce positive behavior or coach for alignment when it's not exactly where it should be. Right. And I imagine that it becomes an important component because you can provide the training, but unless you've gotten, you have somebody there kind of monitoring and coaching to make sure it's consistent. Memories are short sometimes when people tend to forget. And actually our methodology for Dale Carnegie training is to not just give information that will result and will produce great results, but actually practicing it in the classroom environment and making sure that it's practice because practice makes permanent. It doesn't make perfect. So make sure that they practice, they get the skill down and then they go out for a week and actually practice it for a week, a specific skill and then come back and tell us how you did. And so what you see is you see confidence building, you see skills building and communication and human relations and that results in transformation at the end of the course. Very good.  Absolutely. That's very good. Looping back a little bit, you've got a millennial generational program coming up here soon. Can you just spend a minute and tell us a little bit about what that is and what we would expect to get out of it? So everyone's talking about the challenge of having millennials in the workplace. More importantly, by the year 2020, millennials will almost dominate the leadership level of an organization. And so everyone's squandering in not that far away. And so everyone, which is a good thing is trying to understand, how do we adapt our work environment? How do we adapt our communication to be effective? Both millennials as a leader as well as managing millennials. And there are fundamental differences and we liken it to say that when our grandparents told us, you don't understand what it was like to trudge in the snow two miles to walk to the store to get a loaf of bread. Uphill both ways. Uphill, and that was in Hawaii, right? So we heard those stories when we were younger. So our millennials hearing our stories about how difficult our life was. Every generation has difficulties. It's important to recognize what makes that generation different. What has impacted that generation that has changed their values different from the baby boomers, different from the Gen Xers? And then once we understand their strengths and what is different than being able to meld them in the workplace so that we can be an effective team whether we are 20 years old or whether we are 65 and still in the workplace. I'm kind of curious. And I don't want to put either one of you on the spot, but what are some, I mean, I come from the baby boomer generation and I have a son that's a millennial. So I know the differences that we have, but I'm curious, is there any other types of differences that maybe I don't see personally, but you might have offhand? What are the differences between, say, the boomer generation and the millennials? Do you know what some of those differences are? Yeah, if you don't mind. One of the key things is baby boomers, when they went to get a job, they were reviewed once a year. And so you worked for that once a year raise and then you were told whether you did a good job or not and you're given your list of what you did that could be improved and then you went away. And if I was lucky, I get to keep my job. Right, right. And you tended to stay with the company for a long time because you were really impacting the future of the company. The millennials today will not wait a year for feedback. They want immediate feedback. In fact, they want feedback several times, maybe five to 10 times a day. A day? A day. And the reason why they want that is that we have bred a generation that wants feedback so that they can realign, self-correct, do it right the first time. That is the mentality of a millennial. They want to do it right. And the way they didn't wait for correction, they ask for feedback. I can see some of that because of the technology and as we talked earlier, you get that immediate feedback and they've come to expect that, both technology as well as an interpersonal level. Right, and they don't understand why they can't get it because they can get it in many other different mediums. Why can't they get that in the workplace? Good point. Now we've got probably about a minute left and I wish we had more time to talk about it. But Tom, have you had any experience with the millennial?  Well, I think as we started off at the beginning of the conversation talking about millennials leading boomers, because most times you hear boomers like ourselves talking about the millennials and all the difficulties you have dealing with them. But in our business, we have young restaurant managers that are in their late 20s or 30s supervising boomers at all levels in the organization. So the communication skills required for effectively managing up and down the chain of command are very important. I can see, and maybe I'm gonna be unique, but as a boomer, if I was getting feedback five or 10 times a day on my performance, it probably would get bored of it pretty quick. I don't need that. Right, exactly. But I can see where there just needs to be that awareness of how to deal with different generations. Right, absolutely. Very good. Well, we're gonna wrap up here.  I guess you're gonna have a busy holiday season. Yeah, Giotaku is a family restaurant. We have entertaining people from around the country. People come home to visit for the holidays and Giotaku is a gathering place. Maybe a lot of parties or a great place to visit and bring families and friends together. And if people wanna see how the Dale Carnegie programs actually are working, they can come out and see it firsthand. Meet some of our managers, right? All right, they're graduates. Well, thank you both for being on the show today. It was very fascinating. I'm gonna know now how to better deal with my millennial children, so very good. But this is Reg Baker, business in Hawaii. We broadcast live every Thursday at two from 2.30. I hope to see you next week. Till then, aloha.


I'll check this gun. Run, run, come on. Anyway, I think we're going to continue setting up the gimbal in this car. What's going on my lovely viewers? Today we're going to talk about the Hoam iStudy MT2, which is this gimbal right here. Now in a recent video, I talked about the Hoam iStudy M6, which is a compact smartphone a gimbal and as you can see, they look quite identical. But the main difference is that this gimbal, the MT2 has a heavier payload capacity and this is a four in one compact lightweight gimbal. So not only can you use this with a smartphone or with your action camera, but you can also use it with compact cameras and mirrorless cameras, which is really great for hybrid shooters. And I wanna thank HOM for sponsoring this video and sending me over this gimbal, which I'm quite excited to showcase to you guys. And I'll be talking about some of its awesome features and also explain who this gimbal is for. So with that said, let's get started. What's really cool is that you get this awesome case by HOM, which you can easily bring along on your travels and you have all the necessary tools to get started. HOM also provides different control and charging cables that you can use with your camera. And then we have these three mounting options over here. So we have the L bracket to mount your mirrorless or compact camera. Then you have the smartphone mount, which is really great. And if you wanna attach a GoPro to the gimbal, you also get this action camera mount.  I really like the color scheme of it. The black and orange design makes it really look aesthetic and professional. And the gimbal is also pretty lightweight, weighing at around 653 grams. And you can also unmount the bottom part, which makes it even smaller and easy to bring along. I also really like the hand grip, which is ergonomically well designed, as I can also use both hands, including the tripod to better support the gimbal. Also at the front, we have an OLED display which shows you all the basic informations that you need, such as battery life, current gimbal mode you're in. Then of course, you have the record button and the mode button as well as a joystick. Then here to the side, you have a motion time lapse function, which we will look at later. You also have this wheel to the side, which controls the focus and allows you to switch by pressing the button to switch to roll mode. And this gives you precise control over the roll axis when using it. Now, one of the biggest highlights is the magnetic AI tracker, which you can see right here, which you can easily detach and attach to the gimbal. And I will talk more about it later. What I really like is that home included these locks, which you can lock each motor. This way the parts won't move around. With every gimbal, you have a trigger button and you also have different one quarter screw holes. Over here, you have the charging port and the power on off button. Then on top, you have the type C reverse charging port and the type C camera control port, which allows you to use the record button as well as the zoom with your mirrorless camera. So if you film under ideal conditions, the battery life of this gimbal will last you up to 17 hours. So it finally stopped raining. Run, run, come on. And I'm happy we can continue our video. And this time I'm going to show you how I mount my Sony a7S III with the 16-235 f4 millimeter lens to this gimbal. And the max payload of the gimbal is 1.2 kilogram. So it should be able to handle this camera. So I'm going to show you the process of how I balance it, it's fairly easily. And the great part is that you can set it up in landscape mode or vertical mode, depending on which platform you want to upload your video to. So I'm first going to use this Arca Swiss plate and mount it at the bottom of the camera. And what's also great is that on the L bracket itself, you get this magnetic tool that you can use to tighten the screw. And the next thing I'm going to do is mount the L bracket so I can simply slide this part in and then I'm going to slide in the camera. And now I can start with the balancing process. And the goal is that the camera doesn't tip on either side.  So it tips a little bit to the back. So I'm going to push this to the front. But you can now see that the camera is fairly balanced. I can now press the power button here on the side and Booyah, I'm ready to go. Now, if you plan on shooting vertical videos for your Instagram or TikTok, you can easily reposition the camera by sliding the L bracket out and then simply inserting this part inside just like that do a little bit of balancing. You can see that it responds really well. And I can also use the flip out screen on the back, which is really cool. This way I can see what I'm shooting. Also I can use it in combination with the AI to track myself, which we will get into right now. So the way how to activate the tracking feature is you first have to turn on the sensor and then you can simply use hand gestures to activate it. And you can see it starts to track me. So for solo content creators who, you know, want to add camera movement to their video, this AI tracking feature is really useful. And you can see that it does a great job at tracking me and adds a lot of dynamic to my videos. If I want to reframe myself, I can do the hand gesture, reposition myself, do it again. And you can see that it saves my position. And if I want to stop the tracking, I just can hold up all my fingers and it will stop it. So the AI sensor not only functions as a tracker, but also can be used as a fill light. So when I press hold on this button over here, you can see it turns the light on. And this is great if you're filming in a dark lid and environments and by turning the wheel, I can adjust the intensity of the light. And by triple pressing on the wheel, you will see that it will change to RGB mode. And by turning the wheel, I can change the color and it has 360 degree of color spectrum, which is great for creative use. So now I've also mounted my iPhone 14 Pro on the MT2. As you can see, it works perfectly. The great part is if you're someone who shoots professionally on a smartphone and also uses a rig maybe and some lenses or a microphone, then this gimbal will handle it pretty well. And it also uses the ARCA Swiss place, making it a really great way to switch between cameras. What's great is that you have these tripod legs over here that allows me to place the gimbal on a flat surface. And with the time-lapse feature, I'm able to create a moving time-lapse by using the A and B buttons over here. I'm gonna set the A position first. I'm gonna use the joystick to position the camera. I'm gonna set it this as my A point by tap holding on the A. And now I'm gonna simply set my B position and set this as my B position. And then once I'm happy, I'm gonna double tap on the A, press record, and it will now start the motion time-lapse. So overall, I'm quite satisfied with the Home i-Study MT2. I think it's a fantastic gimbal for those who want to create smooth, stable footage, either with their mirrorless camera or their smartphone or action camera as it's a four-in-one gimbal. I think what makes this gimbal stand out from the other is the AI tracking feature where you're able to track yourself accurately without having to use an app or a Bluetooth connection. And also the motion time-lapse feature, which I think is also really awesome where you don't need an app again and can just use the buttons on the side to set your A and B position. I think this gimbal is great for content creators who film with different cameras. Like I do, I film on a smartphone, but I also sometimes film on the Sony A7S III. I think it's great for those who need the tracking feature for live streaming or to film themselves, or even when you need to produce vertical videos for TikTok, for example, you also have the ability to switch the position of the camera. So yeah, because of all of these feature, I think it's really great the gimbal to have and add it to your inventory to really step up your filmmaking game. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment. Now, by the way, if you guys are interested, I do have an online course where I teach everything on how to produce quality and professional content with your smartphone.

You can make your website faster and less data hungry by using the right file format for images. What's wrong with this web page? You know, it loads quickly on 100 megabit broadband, but let's try it on 3G. Now, this is the kind of experience most of your users will get, and that's not so good. Let's see what's going on. Now, one really easy way to find website problems is to look for heavy files in the Chrome DevTools Network panel. Just rearrange to sort by size. In this case, you can see some heavy images right at the top. A simple rule is to look out for any images over about 100 kilobytes in size. That is often a sign of trouble. Let's see what's gone wrong. Aha, these photos have been saved in the PNG format. Now, photos should always be saved using a format like JPEG that's designed for the purpose. The WebP format can often work even better than JPEG. To find out more, check out our links in the description after this video. Let's download the PNGs and try saving them as JPEGs. There are lots of ways to convert files, but for now, I'm just going to use Preview on Mac. Let's compare the size of the image files, the PNGs and the JPEGs. Wow, that's a big difference about a quarter of the size just by saving as JPEGs. The JPEGs look just fine too, even better if you save them from the originals. Let's replace the images for the website in the images directory, update the HTML to use JPEGs instead of PNGs, and you're done. Now, let's take a look at the logo at the top of the page. Yep, looks like the company logo is a PNG as well. Now, there's nothing wrong with that, but if you can use an SVG instead, that will be much smaller. The SVG format describes the lines, shapes and colors that make up an image rather than the individual pixels. That means that SVGs are naturally responsive, they can resize to fit. What about the social media logos? That turns out that these were done using a logo font. Again, there's nothing wrong with that, but if you only use a few logos, you're better off with SVGs. SVG logos are available for all the social media brands, and SVG is really well supported. You can even include SVGs inline in your HTML file. They don't need much code, and that can speed up loading by reducing the number of things your site needs to load. Now, let's upload our changes and open the site again. In this example, I'm adding my SVG files with Git, then committing and pushing them to the repo to update the site. That's a big improvement. Now, what about page load speed? That's what really matters. Compare the old version and the new version. You can see the new version is much faster, so that's a really easy way to make your website work better. Use a web-optimized format, such as JPEG or WebP for photos, and use SVG for icons and logos.


Welcome to Nursing School Explained in this video on diverticulosis and diverticulitis. First of all, let's look at the pathophysiology and see how those diverticular form. So risk factor for developing either one of those two is a low-fiber diet, which then, when there's less bulk in the stool, the transit time takes longer, so the transit time is decreased for the food to be processed. The longer the stool sits in the colon, the more water gets absorbed from it, and the more water gets absorbed, the more harder and smaller the stool is that actually finally gets eliminated. Now with the decreased stool size, it increases the pressure in the lumen of the colon, and that's presses that puts stress on the wall of the colon, and then because of that stress, the wall gets weakened in this diverticular form. Now besides low-fiber diet, other risk factors also include obesity, inactivity, smoking, alcohol intake, as well as immunosuppression. So you can see a lot of this diverticulosis or the development of diverticular is related to just overall poor lifestyle choices such as inactivity, obesity, poor diet, and all those consequences. If we look at this drawing here, here we have the ascending, transverse, and descending colon, and then here we have these out-pouchings, which are these diverticula, which are these weaknesses in the colon wall, and then these pouches form, and when the pouches are here in green, that would just be called diverticulosis, that's the presence of diverticula. But they can get, food can get stuck in there, and then they become very inflamed, and as you know, the medical abbreviation for inflammation is idus, so then when the diverticula become inflamed, it leads to diverticulitis. Over here for diverticulosis, signs and symptoms, many times the patient does not have any, and then it's just discovered on a routine colonoscopy where through visualization the provider is able to see these out-pouchings, this diverticula, that are in the person's colon. Treatment for diverticulosis, because it's a consequence of low diet, poor diet with low fiber intake, we want to increase the fiber, the diet, we want to increase activity, we want to make sure the patient, if there are no contraindications, drinks at least 2 liters of water per day, and decreases abdominal pressure, so that would be anything, maybe tight fitting clothing, or lots of bending, lifting, straining, can cause pressure on the abdomen, which can cause diverticulosis. So diverticulosis in general is just very, very mild and can usually be managed with just diet and activities or lifestyle changes. However, when the diverticula become inflamed and diverticulitis occurs, the patient many times presents with acute left lower quadrant pain. And the reason is that the most of the diverticula usually occur in that descending colon, hence we have that left lower quadrant abdominal pain. There might be a pop of a mass, because the diverticula can get quite large and then the inflammation that occurs, so we can palpate that. Many times, as with anything that causes abdominal pain, the patient will have nausea and vomiting. And they also might have signs and symptoms of infection, because we're dealing with this inflamed diverticula here. So this might be fever, chills, as well as objective findings, such as in lab results, increased white count, increased neutrophil count. Diagnostic tests to see the state of the inside of the colon would be a CT scan of the abdomen with oral contrast. And so the patient will swallow this contrast as it passes through the colon. The scan was performed and it lights up the colon and then it will also light up the diverticula or these outpouchings. Certainly want to look at the CBC to determine the white count and their CRP inflammation markers is probably going to be increased. Treatment for diverticulitis, if there are mild symptoms, the patient might be able to tolerate PO antibiotics. But it is usually recommended to stay on a clear liquid diet to let that colon and that inflammation rest. Because at least the last thing that we want is to send lots of bulk forming agents through here. So this colon is inflamed that could certainly cause more inflammation and certainly more pain for the patient. If the symptoms are moderate to severe, the patient will require admission and IV antibiotics, as well as to be in PO to let the colon completely rest and recover from this inflammation. And then certainly they'll need IV fluids to handle their fluid needs if they can't take anything by mouth. If there were recurring episodes of this diverticulitis, where now there might be some scarring or some abscess formation, then maybe a partial colactomy will be recommended. But that all depends on how severe the symptoms are and how many episodes the patient has already had. Now complications from this, abscesses can form. So now if this diverticulitis here builds and builds and builds, it can build this abscess, which can certainly be very painful, but it can also burst. And then we have this inflammation that now extends from the colon into the peritoneum causing peritonitis. And certainly patients with abscess formation and peritonitis can be very ill and become septic. Because now we have all the contents of the colon that have now spilled into the abdominal cavity and everything is inflamed. As for nursing care, when we have mild symptoms or the patient just has diverticulosis, we need to educate them about these lifestyle changes. But in the acute phase, if they get admitted for diverticulitis, certainly we need to monitor the vital signs and also train their labs, specifically their white count and their CRP. And we need to do focus abdominal assessments to make sure that if this complication of abscess or peritonitis occurs, then we are able to detect this early, maybe when the abscess occurs before it can burst and develop into peritonitis.  That sort of thought has now been kind of put aside and it is now no longer recommended to hold off on eating any nuts and seeds with inpatients who have diverticulosis. Thank you for watching this video. Please also watch the video on peritonitis so that you can become more familiar what happens with this complication. Thanks for watching Nursing School Explains to you soon.


This game was crazy, wasn't it? The YouTube team keep it clean. What's going on? It's St. Graven Hill with another video. And in this video, I'm here to share my post game thoughts from the game that a lot of y'all went to. Shout out to everybody that went out to Jacksonville for the game. And then a lot of us watched together. Shout out to everybody that was part of the live stream. But it was quite a game between the Ravens and the Jaguars. I'm here to share my post game thoughts on this game. And shout out to the Jaguars. Congrats to the Jaguars. They clutch it out. And they showed, they said, hey, we are men. Now, real quick, let me know if I'm wrong. But I believe that remember in, I want to say it was Carson Wentz's rookie or second year. Remember the game where the Eagles, they came to play the Ravens. It was at M&T Bank Stadium. And the Ravens, they were winning. Then the Eagles, they started coming back. And the Eagles had scored a touchdown. They could have kicked the extra point to tie it up. But the Eagles, they decided to go for two. Now, I believe C.J. Mosley broke up the pass and it was incomplete in the Ravens. One, but I believe the same coach. I believe it was Doug Peterson, but let me know if I'm wrong. I'm not a thousand percent sure, but I believe it was Doug Peterson. So he, he did the same thing in this game. I ain't scared of no Ravens. We've been hanging with these boys as whole. And the thing about the Jaguars, we didn't get to do a preview for this game. But something that I had saw, and I said it at the very beginning of the stream, could not sleep on these Jaguars because they and their wins, in two out of their three wins, they were blowouts. But in every single one of their losses, all except for the Chiefs game, they were all close games. And I mean, even the Chiefs game, they only lost by 10. So for the Jacksonville Jaguars to be rocking with the Chiefs to like only lose by 10 to them, says a lot about their team. So they could hang with some people. And yeah, they certainly showed that yesterday. They did, they did a little better job of hanging with the Ravens and they did the Chiefs and they didn't just hang, they won, they won. And it's, where do we start? I guess we could start with the offense. When you look at the numbers, we'll start with Lamar Jackson. Got Lamar Jackson been a subject of conversation. Lamar Jackson, 16 for 32. So 50% completion percentage, 254 yards, one touchdown, no picks, he got sacked. So yeah, that's that. So the numbers, they don't really tell the whole story. Lamar, he did have some overthrows. He overthrew the very first drive, very first drive through a nice pass middle, very first play, I think. Nice pass middle of field to Mark Andrews. And then the deep ball, oh, that was the one. That was an overthrow. We just overthrew about that much to the Marcus Robinson. And I was like, oh man, mm, mm, mm. It was like, wow, it was so close, but not close enough, so he overthrew it. Another one of the overthrows came to Mark Andrews. There was another overthrow to, oh, to Josh Oliver, that touchdown. When Josh Oliver dropped it, but at the same time, I cannot put that drop on Josh Oliver, I can't put it as a drop. Cause Lamar, he sailed a little bit high on that one. So I can't put that on Josh Oliver. So those were the overthrows. I know some people want to count that the Devin Duvenay one as an overthrow. I think that was just a throw away. I really think that was just a throw away, but other ones were definitely overthrows for sure. But yeah, so that was tough. But then at the same time, he did make some of those deep pass. I know he had one to Mark Andrews, one to Josh Oliver, but then the biggest one of the game came to the Sean Jackson.  That's how you do that. That's the status of these Baltimore Ravens, but hey, it is what it is. We could talk about that another day, but he came up big on that play. It was a big throw, big catch. And I think Lamar misses Hollywood. I think he misses Hollywood a lot because Hollywood had more speed than pretty much everybody on this Ravens team right now. And you know, that was Lamar's guy, especially for the deep passes. I think he misses him a lot because again, the speed, the speed, now you still got to hit the throws. You still got to hit the throws. But I think he misses that element of Hollywood speed a lot. But anyway, shout out to Hollywood. I don't know how them Cardinals are doing. I got to check in on that game in a little bit because this is Sunday, by the way, when I'm recording. But anyway, but yeah, Lamar, he of course ran. I know somebody in the stream was like, oh, Lamar was our lead in Russia today. I said, okay, what's new? That's like, usually nine times out of 10, Lamar is the lead in Russia. It's always nice when it's like Gus or Jizzy Drake or somebody else who's the lead in Russia. So, but for Lamar to get it was no surprise. He had 14 Ks for 89 yards, almost had a touchdown, but his knee was down just short. He, yeah, man, he did have some drops. And we'll talk about that in a little bit because he had some more touchdowns that he threw, but like the one to Mark Andrews in the back of the end zone, the one to Mark Andrews going up the left sideline. Oh, yeah, that was a pretty one too. Put it right in the brave basket. Mark Andrews it a little bit. The Devin Duvenay. Yeah, Devin Duvenay, he had a drop. Who else had a drop? It's crazy, cause when Mark Andrews on one of his drops, I think he had three, but on one of his drops, oh yeah, he had the fumble too. That, oh yeah, that was it. But thank goodness that the Ravens kept the ball, but on one of his drops, somebody was like, all right, hey, it's time to activate Charlie Colard now. But, oh, this game was crazy. The offensive line. Somebody made a really good point that on a lot of Lamar Jackson's throws, he got a scramble. He got to run around cause there's pressure that's getting in. An offensive line, they up and down. Sometimes they up, sometimes they down. I mean, there's been a lot of story last year. I mean, this year, excuse me. I think sometimes, I think still, sometimes the offensive line gets a tad bit, they're not bad, but I think sometimes they still get a tad bit overrated because of Lamar, because he can make people miss. Because he can make those interior, exterior edge guys, he can make them miss.  Lamar don't make somebody miss, and then he threw the ball or threw the way or whatever. So yeah, but anyway, the Ravens offensive line is like I said, they're not bad. Rush, Rush is Gus Edwards. He had 16 carries for 52 yards. He started off the game, and he was averaging like four yards of carry, but after that, the Jaguars are like, no, you ain't doing this to us no more. Cause he got some nice little chunk plays, small chunks, but chunks nonetheless. He got a little chunk plays and Jaguars, they adjusted and they put it into all of that, all of it.  He did get his touchdown. But with the, yeah, it was just rough, man. It's rough for him. Devin Duvenay, he had a couple of carries. And I really was really thinking like, all right, they about to get Devin Duvenay involved in this game a little more, baby. And they did, they did. But my issue, cause with Greg Roman with the Ravens offense, my issue, obviously one of the issues was Lamar having his overthows. But something, then another issue was the team just having their drops. But another issue that I have that is just so straight. Well, you know what? We'll talk about that another time. Anyway, Justice Hill, he had a carry for three yards. Drake only had two carries for two yards. So Gus and Lamar, they were really carrying it. There was one point where you saw just Lamar, he was really just trying to take over. Well, you could tell you just really frustrated. He was just trying to start to do everything himself. Sometimes when he does that, sometimes it can be good. Sometimes they can press a little bit. But you can always tell those moments where he's like, all right, no, it's all on me. It's all on me. A lot of times it works out. Sometimes he could try to do a little too much. But I think he's so used to having just to do so much in this offense, man. And this is crazy. But anyway, let's get into these receivers, man. Josh Oliver led the way with four catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. Shout out to him getting a touchdown. Shout out to him this season because Josh Oliver when called upon, he's done his thing. So that's good for him. DeSean Jackson had the two catches. Obviously that big one for that 62 yard game. Mark Andrews, four catches for 50 yards. I don't know why I thought he had more catches in that. Well, he did have the two point conversion play as well. But so yeah, Devin Duvenay had three for 23. The market drivers had had one for 17. He was targeted four times. Obviously one of the targets was the overthrow. Off the top of my head, I can't remember the other ones. Pat Ricard, he had two recessions for 14 yards. Drake, he had a target. Gus Edwards had a target too. But I just, with Pat Ricard, he is on the field at all situations. When the Ravens need a big play, he's out there. When the Ravens need a small play, Pat Ricard is just out there all the time. That's why when doing this game, when I saw him jogging off the field, I was really surprised. I was like shocked. I was like, oh, Pat Ricard actually coming off the field. It was just a shocker. Oh, Gus Edwards did have that fumble too. That's why he had that fumble. Oh man, what an uncharacteristic game fumble was for the Ravens. Gus Edwards, who never fumbles, he fumbled. Mark Andrews, who never fumbles, he fumbled. Just, this game was just, it was so weird. It was so weird. But anyway, offense just, it was weird because I really just knew the offense. I'm like, all right, the way that they started the game, they were so close. Oh yeah, Demarcus Robinson had that drop in the back of the end zone. I forgot about that one. So that was another one of the targets. But the offense, like the first drive, Lamar missed Demarcus Robinson. He overthrew him. I'm like, okay, cool. They close, but they ain't get there yet. Next drive, Lamar Jackson hit him, touchdown, he dropped it. Oh, okay. They close. I was like, all right, so they even. Demarcus Robinson and Lamar was even at that point. Lamar missed him and then Demarcus Robinson missed him. Next drive, so all right, they even. But the offense was just, they could never really, really consistently get it going. It's like they would move, then they would stop. And they would move, then they would stop. And then field go, field go, field go. Shout out to Justin Tucker. Couldn't be mad at him when he missed a 67-yard field go, and he almost made, had it been a 64, he would have made it. Had it been a 65, maybe. I know the commentator was talking about, oh, it feels a 66, I don't know about that part. It feels a 64 for sure, but if it's a 65 maybe, but he is crazy that Justin Tucker, he even gave the Ravens a chance, man. Gator evens a shot to still win the game. Shout out to him, even with the miss, but he had the red all them makes in the game. And it's like, oh gosh, we getting back to that style of Ravens now, it's Justin Tucker, Justin Tucker, Justin Tucker, Justin Tucker, Justin Tucker. So anyway, that was the offense, man. As far as a play calling, not the worst day for G-Row, I don't think. There was some situations where I'm like, the just the involve, not even the involvement, but just the focus on specific, got like Pat Riccardo, the focus that they put on him, I think they should take that emphasis and their focus, shifted elsewhere, shifted elsewhere. In my opinion, they gotta stop trying to really, and I understand players here and there. I ain't saying don't give Pat Riccardo ball, but they really have this infatuation with making Pat Riccardo playmaker. And you see the emphasis that they put on him, with these screens and whatnot. And again, I understand he gonna get his passes and stuff. I get it, but I feel like the focus should really be somewhere else. Set up that screen for somebody else. Even if it's Josh Oliver, somebody, because again, people ain't checking for him like that. They all checking for Mark Andrews, checking for Duvenay a little bit too, even the markets, right? They ain't checking for Josh Oliver like that. Set it up for Pro Shack, Tyler and Watt like, but anyway, that was that. Defense, ooh, defense, they started off nice. They started off nice, but then Marcus Peters, oh, he was getting picked on all game. All game, Trevor Lawrence was going after Marcus Peters. He did not have a good game this year. He's just, it's been rough. And we gotta remember he is coming off that ACL injury, but still he out there. So if the injury, you gotta have compassion for these guys coming back from being hurt.  If you're gonna be out there, you're gonna get assessed. So context is important, but still he was out there and it was just rough. It was a really rough game for Marcus. Literally from start to finish, it was a rough game and it just kept getting worse. I think they said he gave him three touchdowns. Now, the one at the end, well, not the game went in touchdown. Well, yeah, it was a game went in touchdown, yeah. He was out of bounds. He got one foot in. He got like his shin, his shin foot, whatever, the bottom half of his leg got in, but nothing else. Not no, his butt cheeks didn't get in there. Not no elbow, not his back, nothing. And they said touchdown. I was like, wow, okay, it was rough. It was rough. But then my thing where it was a mix of, this game was a good mix of bad execution. So that's on the players. And there was some bad coaching by the Ravens too. Why? Why on earth? Biggest play of the game at that point because Lamar and the offense, they had just got to go ahead, a touchdown or whatever. So then the Jaguars, they end up converting, moving the ball down the field. Then they got the touchdown and put them down by one. So they were going for two. Ravens called time. This is, how do you call time out and you leave the worst corner that you have on the field. Why would you leave him on an island? You had Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey on one and you had Brandon Stevens all by himself. Why would you leave him on an island? I was like, wow, this is crazy. This just really happened. They left this guy all alone, all alone. And I just, I couldn't believe it. But I couldn't believe it because we've seen this story before. But again, Marcus Peters rough game. He did give up the game, went in touchdown, even though I don't think it was a touchdown, but he gave up a touchdown before that too. Oh, that was the third touchdown that he gave up on that, not a wheel route by the running back, but the running back just, I guess a streak. So the running back just ran right past him. Marcus Peters, oh, that's a nice pass there, Trevor Lawrence. Right over his head, touchdown. Yeah, man. Trevor Lawrence picked on him all game. Pass rush. It was up and down. I think they got four sacks, which it looks nice, but when it mattered the most, couldn't do it. Couldn't do it. Couldn't get it done. Just ugly. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Lamont had a fumble that he lost. It's saying that he lost a fumble. I don't remember it though. I don't remember the lost fumble. I'm sure I'll see it in the highlights some, because you know they're gonna show highlights of this game. Like they, they. Chuck Clark, Chuck Clark definitely helped on that, that Marcus Peters touchdown. The one to the Jaguars running back, that Marcus Peters gave up, because that was both Marcus Peters and Chuck Clark. Just let the guy run right past and just watch them. They were just spectators on the touchdown. Patrick Queen, he had a really nice, but he had a really nice tackle for loss early on in the game. But Ravens just, they couldn't get it. They just started giving up. So I guess, like I knew Kyle Hamilton would be missed, but I didn't know that he was gonna be missed this much. I'm like, really? Like is Kyle Hamilton like that nice? Is he that much of an impactful play on his Ravens defense? Cause I'm like, I ain't no, like, I ain't no way. Just Kyle Hamilton being out is gonna hurt them that much. Ooh, I guess it did. Cause boy, they, I don't know what that was, man. And I think what they gave up, 18 in the fourth quarter. It's crazy, man. It's crazy. And that's what that, that's what the money is, baby. That's what the investors, that's what the most investments are. But here's what it is, man. Who got the sex? Oh, Bowser had that one where he forced to fumble on Trevor Lawrence. That was a nice one, man. Shout out to Bowser. He whacked them. I was like, oh, okay. Let's go Ravens. Who had the other one? Yes, Campbell. He had one. Oh yeah, that was his 99 sec. So yeah, remember that one? Brother, oh, Brother Washington had one on their very first play from offense. The Jaguars first play from offense. He had one and that backed them up eight yards and then it was second and 18 and they got the first down. That, that, that should have been the sign where we should have known it was going to be a long defensive game. Marlon Humphrey. Oh yeah. He had a sec too. And that was a sec where he knew the Jaguars were coming back. He knew that they had a, they found a weakness on their defense.  He ain't do that when he got the sec. That was the calmest big playoff I've ever seen Marlon Humphrey make. Cause he knew, he knew, he knew.  I'm so glad I got this sec. Cause this, this Trevor Lawrence kid, man. He's some, he's some. So anyway, man. Man, what a game. That's, you would think like, you would think in a game where Jordan Stout literally punted the ball one time. This dude had one punt. You were thinking a game where he punted the ball one time. That, that's a blowout. Oh man, Raven's offense has really moved. Cause they weren't moving. They just weren't finishing. They weren't finishing. And that's the big issue. Raven's offense just wasn't finishing. I just, I wonder if people think this is a Super Bowl team now. Some people, some people may feel the same. Some people may feel a little different. But you gotta close stuff like this out. The offense, they ain't do the defense any favors early on. And the offense woke up quite a bit. Then the defense, they ain't do them any favors later on. So just a big collective effort in this loss. Bad loss, bad game. Yeah, Raven's a seven and four though. So it's not all bad. They tied with the Bengals, but they still sit atop the AFC North because they beat the Bengals earlier this season. I was saying during the stream, it feels like the Ravens are on this like collision course with the Bengals. They were up on the Bengals. Felt like the Bengals were like almost out of it, but they just been, they've been coming back, coming back, coming back. And now they tied. Got the same record as the Ravens. So Bengals putting that pressure on Baltimore, man. Ravens had this easy schedule. I try to tell these boys, I try to tell them. Ravens got a easy schedule, but Ravens still gotta take care of business. And I did not expect them to go undefeated the rest of the way. And I didn't think they were gonna get their loss out this early, but still Ravens, man, expect the unexpected.  We gotta lose at least one game in Florida every year. We gotta lose at least one. So this year, they lost in Jacksonville last year. They lost in Miami on a Thursday night football. I guess it's just, it's just a Raven type of thing, man. But anyway, that's that. Now it's about how they can bounce back. What are you gonna do moving forward? How are you gonna treat this loss? How are you gonna respond to this? What adjustments are you gonna make? We'll see. Team keeping clean, I love y'all. I appreciate y'all. And just like the Ravens, when it came to being one of those teams to top the AFC, I'm out.


Hi guys, welcome back to my channel and today I have an update for you regarding long term business in the UAE. UAE started granting 5-year residency visa to entrepreneurs, which means now it became much easier to set up a business in the UAE. In order to qualify, you need to have a former business that is worth a minimum of 500,000 dirhams, or your business should be approved by the accredited business incubator in the UAE. Also, you need to cover insurance for yourself and for your family during the period of residency. And even the executive director who works for the business owner can get a 5-year residency visa if he works exclusively for that company during the period of his residency. And if you're based overseas, you can get a 6-month multi-entry visa in order to set up your business in the UAE. As you see, UAE is a really great environment for businesses, for startups.

Well, it's tournament time on the diamonds as we start the play of Youth Baseball State Championships down in Baxter, the 11 year old teams of Minnesota will duke it out the next few days to earn the title state champion. What a beautiful day for some baseball. Baxter taken on Breckenridge. We start in the second inning, Eli Holes lines it to center field, Keaton Langenfelter scampers home, gives Baxter the 4-0 lead, the next batter, Kale Koop, he rips this one in the left field. For a single, that'll score Sebastian Hopkins, and Baxter is rolling, then later the heads up base running, wow pitch gets past the catcher, long enough for Brian Scheitzberger to score from third, that increases their lead, finally back to Koop, sends it to the wall, that'll clear the bases, finds himself at third for a triple. All Baxter in this one, how about 17 runs as they went 17-1 today.

What is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today I've been going over destiny 2 video and today I bring you this amazing method in getting enhancement cause and mug components to things we can't own enough of But before we go any further guys if you do enjoy the video I would like to show you support you can by hitting that like button if you are new around here and enjoy daily destiny 2 videos Be sure to subscribe Okay, so straight to the point people to do this you need to have spare Legend of Shards or just a massive amount of Legend of Shards Now if you are a true destiny 2 player you will have thousands of these things spare I mean it isn't like they're hard to come by you get them from literally everywhere So if you have shards spare head to spider within the tangled shore at the moment He's selling simulation seeds for Legend of Shards one Legend of Shard for five seeds Now if you are watching this video and he isn't selling seeds for shards It's okay as you can take this info on board and use it when he again eventually starts seeds for shards So go ahead and buy as many as these seeds as you can I mean you can spend your entire amount as this method you get at least 70 to 80 percent of those shards back anyway So you'd never be left with zero shards using this method I've been doing this for the past hour and spent around Roughly a thousand shards and after I'm done I'm only seeing literally two to three hundred lusts, but I've gained so much more in terms of materials like cores and components So once you have a decent amount of seeds head to River Vance on Mercury once here spam his engrams Here I do recommend you using an item manager Which tells you when your postmaster is full as you can only hold 20 items in your postmaster You'd also be probably wise to transfer your gear into your vaults while you do this as it saves a lot of time as these Invisious slots get full pretty damn quickly So spam his engrams you will notice straight away besides the gear you are getting you'll also get a legend of shards back too Now from what I have learned Brother Vance is by far the best then you could go to With the planetary material to get an increased chance of this masterwork gear to drop I've even added a few exotics too But yeah masterworked armor all weapons anything like this is absolutely great So yeah, just spam spam spam away until you are either out of seeds or you have filled all the inventory slots and your postmaster When you hit the state is simply delete or you've just bought Delete all in your postmaster and watch those materials stack up You will also see you are getting those shards back for everything you dismantle You'll also be getting guns with materials too, which again you can use towards this method also Don't forget for every shade you received if you delete it You will also get shards back now once you are done rinse repeat because at the end of the day It's only shards you are losing but you are gaining so much more in terms of materials You will need and do need I worked at and this wasn't including gunsmith engrams and what was obtained and dismantled from them But I believe I was getting around 70 to 80 percent of my shards back every single time Which is what I'd say is probably the averages when doing this for everybody So keep going until you are your limit of shards you want to keep for me that number is like 4,000 off what I own so I'm going to be doing this shit all night It's getting other things which are way more useful than letting those shards at the moment But yeah, just a quick video trying to assist you guys in getting easy materials We should come in super handy at a very small cost of letting those shards and your time Which is probably a little bit of a bigger cost But still definitely worth it though in my opinion people so yeah I hope this video helps you out if it does go ahead and help me out by hitting that like button This is type of video you enjoy seeing among many other types of d2 videos Make sure you subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload hit that bow button to turn notifications on But again, thanks for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one


Hi you guys, I am doing two complaining videos today And as I'm speaking I have not decided which one I'm gonna start with and I think we're gonna go with career for 500 It's been a while since I've done one of these videos And I was inspired to do it because Jared has been doing these monthly recap videos on my second channel Or maybe on this channel depending on where I decided to post it All that hit that rage that fuck man. I should have made it five years ago You know what I'm saying and this wouldn't even be a problem You know what I'm saying all that gut all that feeling Pack that shit into here and it makes What I what I do and what I feel so much more real this month has been a really awesome interesting slow discouraging crazy not busy month for me I May take this hat off because it's gonna be one of those things We're gonna keep putting it back on my head which is distracting for everybody I've come to a realization That I put into a metaphor that I'm gonna continue to use because it really helps to describe how I feel that I'll never Stop kicking the ball.  That's enough It's like 10 seconds in and I can't do it anymore And so I was saying to my sister at the start of this year that what's a little disheartening to know is that for me? I never have to stop kicking the ball I kind of feel like I'm playing this game of soccer and I have all this stuff on my back and I've carried Everything with me. I'm in this game and I'm committed to this game and like it's all on the line And then I walk over that ball and I get there and I kick it and it moves and I stand there and I watch Hoping it'll keep rolling and then it stops and then I have to pick up all my stuff Walk over to the ball and kick it again, and then I kick it and it rolls and it stops And knowing this the lesson I kind of learned in all that is I have to really stop expecting the ball to keep rolling I have to really stop Expecting and watching to see what the ball will do I almost at this point have to assume that I'm gonna have to kick it again So I just just keep walking. You know, I should never stop the momentum. I should just keep grinding And that's a little exhausting So at the start of this year something really exciting was happening first time ever guys as putting out my own show And a lot of you guys have always said like I want you to have your own show and dream of your own show This was it, you know was on a brand new platform So mind you maybe it didn't get the big like cachet that deserve because of the fact that you know It's in a space that you guys aren't familiar with but this company named full screen Which is a streaming service invested in my idea and they made me executive producer and they gave me a writing credit And they gave me a hosting credit and it was a hundred percent my brainchild And I worked together with a really great show owner named Eric rush who put it together Amazingly so it was honestly the perfect mix because it was my idea my passion my vision and my executive decision But his experience his contacts. It was really pretty much, you know done nicely for me And it was just me who had to say yay or nay. It was an amazing opportunity but it was an opportunity that You know, it wasn't that massive tsunami. It was just in another another wave in the ocean and I did that Opportunity and I had that experience and I kind of expected the first time that my show would come out for it To be a big deal for there to be press around it or something massive And it was just like kind of like Monday when it happened any other Monday um And it was a bittersweet leading up to the opportunity of my show coming out guys I felt really really queasy and anxious and I kind of love Those feelings to be honest with you and I was saying that to a friend of mine that Whenever you're in that space of discomfort or anxiety or you know of A form of depression or just deep sadness. It's an opportunity for you to really get to know yourself I'm not emotionally unstable. So most of the times when I feel something there's a root reason for that, you know These disorders like depression or mania, for example Are when the stimulus does not match the feeling or the response you have to it So when for example postpartum depression is when you have a baby and you're excited and you're happy You're so thrilled to have this beautiful Creature that you could to call your own you know into this world But because of the fact that there has been a drastic drop in hormones in your body you naturally feel down It doesn't match how you think you should feel or how you actually feel But you can't help but feel down that says as a result of a chemical imbalance Um, so that is when you know when you have these deep feelings of sadness these deep feelings of hysteria If you have an emotional instability, you know, you may not need to do the same Assessment of yourself of like why because really could be no reason why and that's okay Um, but for me because I do not experience That's just not one of those things I struggle with whenever I do experience anxiety whenever I do experience great sadness There's always a root reason sometimes. I'm not aware of it So in this circumstance the start of the year happened I came back to la and I was really glad to be back and this is the first time in my life That I really understood the word or term family Being away from Jared for Christmas was really difficult for me And my family has their own families, you know, my sister has her own family My mom and dad have their own unit everybody has their own And I'm kind of like the added who's there, you know as a guest really and No one gets me a Christmas gift Which you know the course I'm not going to because they get each other stuff And so it was one of those things where I was like man like my family is here in la My family is what I am building, you know with Jared that that unit That we have each other's back and then we go to other families and become a bigger family But that really is my family So I came back to la with this, you know renewed sense of like, okay Like this is really really home and home is home in a different sense now in a more of a ceremonial sense la is home In an actual literal sense But the year started out really slow Like honestly not knowing what to do certain days and it was a great opportunity for me Of course to focus on youtube, which is a amazing blessing And I will never ever turn my back on youtube because of the fact that it always keeps you relevant It always gives you a space to have a voice and so I started back of course doing youtube videos But there was nothing really else happening and then my show is coming out and there's nothing really Happening leading up to that. There's no real hype or anticipation. There's no press conferences It's just like me knowing I'm going to do this thing and looking for it to be something grand Because I want it to be but it just really not um And so that anxiety just kind of was me realizing that like man like this is not the big bang It's another brick on the path. Maybe it's three bricks Maybe it's you know a larger brick this time But it really is just another brick on the path and I had to keep kicking the ball And so when the show came out, I was writing a bunch of people, you know press contacts that I have made You know trying to come up with a way to promote it and I just I literally got nothing back in return Like no traction no bites Some people didn't even respond which is disheartening because you know when they need you for something You respond to them and then in return when you want to continue that dialogue You just get nothing this and I always say that about the experience of pursuing entertainment People think it's a lot of rejection, you know the cat you deal with all that rejection I'm like rejection would be a luxury you get silence You know a lot of the times you hear nothing back you go on these great meetings and connect with somebody and I wanted a meeting In December where I was like in tears In the meeting not out of like this is going shitty Mayday out of tears of like I really connected with the project and I connected with the head of the project and I felt like we were really gelling and Silence afterwards, you know what I mean? Like I have no idea what that project is doing where that person is Mind you it's really not personal It's usually that they've moved on the industry moves quickly that project could actually be canned right now Who knows what it is? But you know silence is is the mark of of hollywood I think a lot of people go crazy in the silence because it is so still here There really is no like flow or current It's like it's like the middle of the ocean and that's how I would describe la It's the middle of the ocean It's a stillness But like you can kind of see that there's like a boat over there There's stuff happening and you can kind of see in the distance that there's like a shore where people are partying Like you don't really know how to get there Because there's no current taking you you're kind of just sitting and like waiting And you don't really know what direction to swim in people end up swimming in circles for that reason So that was kind of the harsh realization for the start of this year And today for example, I'm going on a meeting with my agency and I've been with my agency now for a year and It's kind of just like a moot relationship, which is fine You know, I have a great relationship with my management team And so you know, you really can't have that cohesiveness with everybody But I'm going today to be like Okay, guys You know, we you gotta find that what next and it's not like other people are coming to me without what next It has to be me who picks up myself and walks over to that ball and tells everyone okay I'm gonna kick the ball now like Let's kick it together. Can we can we get a crowd cheer going here? That's just the way that it's gonna have to be So I wanted to tell anybody right now I guess who's struggling with something similar who feels the stillness of January or the stillness of Wherever it is that you're watching this video where it feels like Where is the momentum? It feels like what is the momentum and who gets that?  I have an amazing life and I did a video where I was just like A couple months ago just crying for how grateful I am for the life that I live and the partner that I have in the home The apartment that I have, you know worked for and Grateful enough to gotten opportunities to got me this far at the end of the day I could kick the ball and the ball could not move I could kick the ball and it could go out of bounds I could kick the ball and it goes to the opposing team and I never get a chance again I am extremely fortunate that I do get time after time after time to continue to work towards that goal and continue to try to get To the end zone or whatever that may be and maybe there really isn't one I'm still trying to figure that out and finding the joy in that discovery Sure, I wish it was easier. Sure. I wish There was more flow to it You know, sure, I wish I was invited to certain parties or I was let in on certain circles Or my access was growing, you know as my opportunities grew But it's not that way So you got to find the find the lesson in that and find the joy in that and so the I want you guys If you do feel the stillness right now and if you are feeling a little bit Down because you don't feel like there's the wind at your back Kick the ball Success Is not about the biggest wave the ocean Is a continuous cycle of little waves little currents that is what creates rocks into sand It's that non-stop resilient beating against the shore that just never ever ceases those massive waves that come Yes, they do damage and they make the news and they're like big and shiny and then surfers ride them and they're exciting Um, but that's not really what makes change. That's not really what changes the earth's surface It's the consistent little ones Some of us are consistent little waves. Some of us are big tsunamis Some of us are a series of small waves and a couple of tsunamis here and there Um, it doesn't matter the the main thing though Is accepting whatever your routers or whatever it is that nature has intended for your path to be And just fitting in that space. I know what my space is. It's it's the consistency And so that's why youtube is an amazing space for me And I encourage you guys to find whatever that is for you The biggest thing that you can do when you feel stagnant Start your own game If you don't feel like anyone's passing you the ball in the game that you're in right now Start your own game. Sometimes I feel like I'm playing soccer by myself and I'm okay with that I actually enjoy my company profusely. So that's all right Um, whatever you can do in this exact moment to gain control of your future and of your next step Do that thing as small as it is one of the biggest things that I do. I think has led to my Steady growth over time is breaking up my life into very small tasks and Jared and I have this debate Constantly because he's a big picture dreamer. I do not have a big dream guys. I never really have like I just have a dream for tomorrow. I have a goal for what I want to accomplish today I'm a very small and maybe you know, I mean as I said that out loud me That's the reason why I am it is a slow process is because I'm not focusing the big goal I'm focusing the little ones and so I conquer a lot of little things, but the big massive things Maybe I'm not giving enough energy towards who knows But I'm a small Doer like my to-do lists literally say shower on them like I keep it simple So I know I can cross off something at the end of the day and feel like okay I set out to do this one thing today and I did just that and that process may work for you as well too Thank you guys so much forever for whoever did now. I don't want to minimize the fact that Even though the full-screen show didn't get me a spot on Good Morning America And you know may not be a nominated for a shorty award What it did do was affirm that I know what I'm doing that a lot of the time and effort and work and energy I've spent into researching This area can actually be applied to real life and those lessons can be transferred on to you guys And so for everybody who watched the show and there's a lot of you guys And so I do not want to take away from the fact that you showed up for me and I fucking love you for that I was sitting on the other day on a skype call with this girl Because I do you know I interview with anybody I really do so if you have the Blog or a a twitter account that you do interviews on you can always hit me up on my booking account And just you know, we can always chat and talk if you want one-on-one counseling Of course there's a fee attached to that or if you want one-on-one mentoring that's specific to your career There's a fee attached to that but you just want to ask questions and figure out who I am on a different level You can always contact me. It's free. There's no charge to that So I was talking with this young girl who was in college and just explain telling her my story and answering some of her questions And then in the end of the interview she says to me like I want you to know when you look at that number, you know 220,000 subscribers There's at least a hundred of me You know who you have impacted in a really deep and meaningful way and who you have made our lives better And you have made our conversations richer, you know, don't ever forget that when you look at that number Sometimes it can feel like you're just trying to collect apples.


to see with all this on a custom sunlight. It's been a pleasure to have an old friend, Prime Minister Shaq Shamir of Israel, back to the White House. His visit symbolizes the close and special relations between our countries. His visit has provided an opportunity for in-depth discussion, and I am pleased to report our discussions went well. High on our agenda, of course, was Middle Eastern peace and our search for a constructive approach to Arab-Israeli reconciliation. We talked about the dangers that threaten Israel and its neighbors and efforts being made to bring a degree of stability to that troubled region. Measurable progress, we both agree, is vital. Peace cannot be built in an environment where there is no hope. In our discussions, we agreed again that the road to peace lies through bilateral negotiations between Israel and its neighbors, including representative Palestinians. We reviewed the diplomatic discussions over the last two years, which we have conducted with Jordan, Egypt and Israel, all of whom share a strong desire to end the conflict that has plagued the Middle East. Our goal now is setting in motion a process accepted by Israel and its neighbors, which can lead to a comprehensive peace settlement. We believe this requires direct bilateral negotiations. Any reasonable means, including an international conference, should be considered, but the United States remains ready to be an active partner in any serious peace effort. Prime Minister Shamir and I discussed Iran. I underscored our opposition to Iran's use of force, terrorism and expansionism. In discussing Iran and other regional issues, the Prime Minister and I agreed on the importance of looking to the future instead of dwelling on the past. We also went over our country's strong and vital bilateral relationship and the broad scope of our cooperation. Both our governments faced tight budgets. I assured Prime Minister Shamir that we will continue our steadfast support for Israel's own efforts to ensure its security and economic well-being. In that regard, we have designated Israel with other countries a major non-NATO ally for purposes of cooperation in certain aspects of military research and development. Finally, in our discussions, we reaffirmed our concern about the plight of Soviet Jewry. We took note of recent releases but are waiting to see the gates truly opened for Jewish emigration. The United States and Israel share many common values and traditions. We have developed a warm friendship that encompasses close mutual and strategic cooperation. This relationship in which each gives special consideration to the other's interests strengthens us both. It is unshakable and we are proud of it. As we look to the future, the Prime Minister and I are committed to the close cooperation long enjoyed by the United States and Israel. It is an honor to have Prime Minister Shamir with us to reaffirm the solid bond of affection between our countries and our peoples. Mr. President, it is with profound satisfaction that I stand here today as we give expression to the abiding and deep friendship between our two countries. Mr. President, America, under your leadership, stands tall and upright despite transient difficulties. You continue to discharge your great responsibility as the leader of the free world. Without strong United States leadership, mankind could be exposed to very grave peril at the hands of the forces of evil and totalitarianism. Our two countries share values, perceptions and goals that unite us in thought and indeed. Since my last visit as Prime Minister, we have given more substance to agreements we reached than in regard to strategic cooperation and the free trade area. Now your administration has moved one more step forward by giving a new dimension to our relations. I refer to your decision to accord Israel the status of a major non-native ally. We have been among the first to join your strategic defense initiative and we opt to expand our cooperation in this program. We have also just concluded an agreement enabling the establishment of a relay station for the voice of America in Israel. Both projects are a reflection of our continuing support of America's defense and advancement of freedom. In our talks today, we explore the prospects of advancing the peace process in the Middle East. While this is not an easy task, it is a noble goal to which we are committed on the foundations of the Camp David Accords, which remain the only agreed and therefore only viable cornerstone for peace in the area, we renew the call to our neighbors to join us in direct negotiations for the attainment of peace between us. Egypt, our partner to the Camp David Agreement, could play a significant role by encouraging our other neighbors to follow our example and enter into face-to-face talks with us without preconditions. Mr. President, the struggle for the freedom and repatriation of Soviet Jewry is by no means over. We must press on with all vigor to persuade the Soviet authorities to let all our people return to their ancient homeland, the land of Israel. I take this opportunity of expressing our gratitude to you, Mr. President, for the great effort you made for the humanitarian cause of our brothers and sisters in the Soviet Union. Their openness at coming home to Israel, at experiencing freedom and democracy is there and our tribute to you. Mr. President, this year 1987 recalls two events of great significance in the life of our two nations. You will celebrate the bicentennial of the United States Constitution, which is regarded as a model for true civil liberties and democratic government. We are marking the 90th anniversary of the birth of our National Liberation Movement and Zionism, which restored us to our ancient land and renewed our national independence. Both events have enriched the quality of our lives and they are in the root of our present relationship, joint efforts, our dreams and our confidence in the future. Thank you, Mr. President.

Welcome to All Hands Update, here's what's happening around your Navy today. With election season upon us, it is important to remember that even when we're not in uniform, we are service members and representatives of the U.S. Navy. As sailors, we are all encouraged to participate in the political process, but we must do so in a manner appropriate to members of the armed forces. For more information on guidelines for political campaigns and elections, see the NAV admin. USS Porter successfully completed a live-fire test of a CRAM missile system. Here is the first of four guided missile destroyers to receive the missile system. As the temperature rises and outdoor activities become more popular, it is important to keep safety in mind.  For more information, check out the Navy Safety Center website. You can read more about what's happening around your Navy at Navy.mil.
