Ernie? Hey Ernie! I thought he was friendly!  Real is the game here and today we find ourselves on this new Sesame Street based horror game What's it called? My friendly neighborhood. Let's go ahead and load up a new game. Okay, save on slot one difficulty survival. Okay, let's go with normal for now. It is a- Welcome to the neighborhood. Well, thank you. It is a demo by the way. Okay, I am playing on controller, PlayStation, PS4. Okay, sponsor me. Okay, um, ABC123. Oh cool. Okay, we just broke it. We're just breaking everything out of here in our way. Okay, what is this? Oh. You seem to be stranded in the basement. How do I get out of here, Ricky? Oh, having a clue. I'm going down here myself. Why? What's got your overalls in a knot? I'm trying to get to the roof. The roof? Look, you gotta give up this nonsense about the antenna. Looks very bad, very unprofessional. It's my job. Look, Gordy, I know our routine is a little rough, but don't judge a show by its pilot. Incidentally, I would hide again. What is it this time? Well, Ray, of course, he's the best sort of monster janitor thing, but doesn't like it when people- Okay, yeah, yeah, what is this? ...tend to get a bit grouchy. One might say, assaults happy? Great.  Well, Ray has always been a little grouchy, even before the shutdown. That's why they moved him down here. Only way out is by elevator, and he can't figure out how to use the buttons. Didn't help, though. He goes through the pipes. Elevator, got it. Oh, silly me. I forgot about the elevators. Really, Gordon, I wouldn't bother. The cables are probably rusted. I don't think they even run anymore. I'll take my chances. Wow, you're so courageous and stuff. Look, I gotta go. Wash my hair. Finally, I didn't think he would've ever stopped talking exactly what Gordon said.  Oh my God, we're in a sewer. Dude, we just came down the slide. The freak is this McDonald's? Okay, let's go in here. Okay, we went into the dark room. That's always good, right? I always head towards the dark room, and you will find greatness. Yo! Oh my God, okay. It does not look- What the- Dude, he just knocked me over when enemies are knocked over. You can take them. Oh, that's what the tape was. Okay, let's go tape him. Junebug.  Dude, we get Katie knocked over. How's my head not- Okay, my health is in danger mode right now. We're close to dying.  Like, they knock you over pretty bad. Okay, what's the little rats? Do the rats do anything? No? All right, let's go check this door. Oh. Okay. Where is this taking me? Okay, you inspect. Press. Huh? Okay, it seems like we're gonna have to do like a puzzle of some sort. What does this mean? Okay, there's Roman numer- Oh, I get it. We're supposed to change them. Okay, but we need to get the power on first. Where the heck is the power at? Maybe behind this door. Inspect, check. It's locked. Just what we needed. Okay, what is this? Ooh, money. Cool. Oh, we got a health- Oh, latex. And then five more cents. Okay, we are rich. We got 10 cents now. Dude, what is this? Is this the power? Save three cents. Sewers. Okay, this is a map. Uh, we are. Okay, I don't know how to read this map. Wait, what? They're still alive? What? That is totally creepy.  I think that's the true nightmare. Oh, why is my screen shaking? Hey! Who's there? What the heck is that? Okay, this looks actually kind of terrifying. Okay, what do we do here? Oh, inspect. What? I think it was better with the lights off. Jesus, that gave me a scare. Okay, he scared him. Okay, what does this mean? Oh, wait. This looked like that thing up there. Um, one, two, three. Looks like part of it's missing. Hey there, little rats. So, he just went in there? Oh, wait, there's a note. That's a lot of reading. Okay, we took the note. Nice. Okay, we went through that door. I did see a door over here. Let's go check it out. It's locked. I don't think I have enough ammo to fight these guys. So, I'm going to try to avoid them for now. Okay, where the heck does this take me? Oh, look at that. Ooh, baby, we got a shotgun. Looks like a shotgun. Oh, this is epic. Okay, cool. Now we just pack and push our gun. All right, is there anything here, inspect? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever. No from Hank.  Oh, cool. Okay, nothing here. Oh, duct tape. Oh, magazine. Nice, but I think that's where my other gun yet is. Okay, cool. So, we have two guns now. I feel a little more safe now that we have, like, this shotgun-looking gun. Okay, the only downside is, okay, then, never mind. Okay, more tape. Yes. Okay, we can actually fight all these darn puppets now. They will not stand a chance. Okay, uh, switch gun. I want to try this one, the big gun. It's locked from the other side. Great. So, I guess we go back and shoot the puppets. Hopefully it's only one shot with this shotgun. Oh, trying to sneak up behind them. Oh! Okay, cool. It's only one shot. She looked like Crust of the Clown. I'm out of tape. Great. Oh, no, she's going to be... She's going to get back. Oh, nice. Get it. Oh, that's a magazine. Okay, we need to get out of here. Open. There's a chain over there. Okay, you can't shoot it. Dude, she is going to get up and she's going to chase us. Hurry. Okay, nice. Oh, there's a sewer right there. I have a feeling he's going to pop out. Okay, you did it. Okay. Let's pretend like we didn't see anything. Yes, duct tape. Darn it, I still can't find any keys. Oh, a hat. Hey, that's Ernie. Is it not? What? Oh, there's a note. Note from Julia. Thank you for the note, Julia. But I will not read it. All right, let's move on. Even though I should be reading these notes because they might just be telling us a storyline. Okay, I don't know why I walked towards it. Oh, cool, our box. Okay, I needed my health. Okay, let's use this. And we have plenty of magazines. The metal piece. That might be for the thing on top of the thing where the stage was, you know, that thing I'm talking about? Yeah, that thing. Okay, if I am not mistaken, the metal piece goes here on the podium. Inspect. There you go, power source. Nice. Oh, shoot. What's that noise? Ernie? Dude, I thought he was friendly. What is going on? He multiplied no way.  Okay, nice. We need to move out. We need to move out. Hurry, hurry, hurry. I really hope they don't get up and we don't have to duct tape them. Okay, we do. Let's get out of here. Go, go, go. What in the world was that? There's a whole freaking army now.  Okay, we got the power on. Now we can do this puzzle, I think. Maybe? No? Don't fall? What is that supposed to mean? There you go, insert. Okay, now what? Okay, this has to do something. It was square triangle circle. No? Oh, but there's a lever. Oh, it gave me something. Punch card. Okay, what is this punch card? Great. What does the dots mean, dude? Okay, so we place this. Do we place it here? Insert card. Pull the lever. It's doing something. Okay, so since that one was at 7 o'clock, we have to get this one at 10, which is X and Roman numerals and then we need to get this one at 3. Okay, so if we go back here, we punch the numbers that we need. We need a 10, which was... What do we need? Two squares to make four and it was plus six for a circle. So that should equal 10, right? So now we punch it. We grab the freaking card. Wait, I can't grab the card. Why can't I? There you go, grab the slot and then we place it here. And it should work. Oh, wait. Place it and then pull the lever. Better work. My maths better be correct. We did it. Okay, so the last one should be pretty simple. We need a square and a triangle, which is a plus two and a minus one. So let's get to it and keep our maths going. All right, it was, what, a three? So we need a plus two. Oh, no, wait, it's a three. Oh my God. Plus two. Okay, what do we do? Minus. Wait, what did I just... What did I just do? Okay, yeah, two, two minus one equals three. I mean, bro, what am I doing, man? Come on, grab this. I'm getting myself confused here. All right, place this here, pull the lever, and it should equal three. And fam, that door next to it on the left should open. Wait, what? What? What happened? Did it not work? Okay, I have no idea why that didn't work. It should have opened the door. Okay, let's try this once again. Two, two, minus one. That equals three. Grab the card. There you go. Take the slot card. Insert it one more time. Dude, this has to work. Isn't that what I did? Whatever, let's keep moving, man. There you go. Ooh, let's see what lies behind this door. Hey, this is poppy playtime? It looks like poppy playtime. Oh, by the way, they did drop the trailer for chapter two today. And you see, what's her name? Mommy, long legs. She looked pretty thick. And let's continue going down these catwalks.  Dude, it sound like it's about a... If you go near him, he's snatched. He knocks you over, so don't go near him. Oh my God, Ernie, stop it. Dude, he takes a lot of shots. What? Ow. Okay, let me tie this guy up real quick. Oh, great, we only have one tape. Oh, a hammer. I hear a voice over there. Please stay down, I don't have tape. Okay, let's check out what's here. Why is it... Get out of here, go. We do not speak what happened in that room. Oh, great. Dude, where did the guy from the sewer go? Okay, this is where he came in from. Hello, what are you doing here? I heard there's so many Judy's. I feel like Judy's all over the map. Okay, nice, let's go up these staircase. Dude, what the heck was that though in that locker room? We were surrounded by all those Ernie's. Okay, inspect. I still yet have to find the key to unlock these little things. I don't know where I can find it though. Oh, wait, what? What is this place? I don't think I've been here. Oh, heck no, man. There's a lock with an electrical lock. Okay, breaking out. Racing pretty interested in the sewer lady, so I went ahead and I hid in the door's fuses. Okay, oh wait, there's a key right there. What? Lock box key. Wow, I did not see that. I am totally blind. Okay, so we have a key. Oh, there is the lock box right here. So maybe we can actually open all of these. Okay, fuse. Okay, so if I'm not mistaken, we have to go around the whole map and get all the fuses, which is possibly that we have one out of four. That's why there's four. So let's go look for the rest of these lock boxes and collect four fuses total. Okay, there was a box here. If I'm not, yes, there it is. Okay, nice. Inspect and lock. Nice, we got two fuses out of four. So this is where you can find another fuse. Find a fuse box in the safe room. So now we have three out of four. Oh, okay, so they tell you exactly where to go. Okay, so this one goes in the clubs. The other one was the heart. And yeah, so hopefully we grab this. And these things don't come to life. Okay, so this is the first one. You see how it's an order? How it's like circled. So we place this one first and then how we found them. Oh, okay, let's get out of here. Let's go place this back where we found the key. Okay, so first it was the spades. It was, no, that is not the spades. Okay, actually it was this one. The clubs, I mean. Then we did find, we did find the heart. No, it was thinking. I believe it was the diamond. Then it was the heart. And then the last one is, should it be? The right-hand door locked. Okay. Wow. I didn't think it was going to work. But it did. Welcome. I'm surprised he actually died in two shots. Okay, we can't inspect that up there. Okay, why are we suddenly? Okay, this is a wardrobe room. Oh. Okay, that scared the heck out of me. Okay, cool. All the chain cutters. If you guys remember, I don't think that was a good idea. Why did we just ring a bell? Maybe for, nobody's even showing up. Okay, whatever. Let's get out of here. We're back to the boat.  What? Okay, cool. Right, let's go break the chains off that door. Whatever the heck it is. I need to find it now. Great. Okay, the door has to be... It was here. Found that. Okay, it has to be down here. There you are. Okay, cool. Now let's use the chain cutters. Bam. Win, baby. Wait, what's down here? Oh, inspect. The cheat unlocked? What does that mean? Where do we place this tape? Oh, now we're up here. Dude, come on. Give me some shotgun ammo. I feel like we're desperately going to need it. Wait, we're in the elevator. Let's see whether this takes us. Hey there, John here. What? Thanks very much for playing this demo. I hope that you enjoyed yourself. Wait, it's over? What? If you did enjoy this, I really appreciate a long wish list over Steam. Yeah, yeah, I got a different project you can check out too. It's very different from this one, but it may strike your fancy. Oh, another thing. It might be worth taking a second look around the basement. See you soon. What is that supposed to mean? Oh, new menu, cheats, modes. Speedrun mode, camera mode, infinite Rolex. What? Rollo Dexter veteran? New cheat long arms? What? Okay, cool. So now we unlock like other cheats. Cheats, long arms, unlimited. Oh, so I guess you can customize. You can customize the characters to have like long arms or whatnot. And you just say to explore the basement, but I don't know what that means. All right, so pretty much camera mode and whatnot, long arms. I put the Chico's in camera mode. It's pretty much creative mode. So you can fly around and look throughout the map and whatnot. I guess they're not much really out to it since it is a demo itself. Well, I guess that is it. I mean, the whole concept of like the Sesame Street horror puppets is pretty cool. I feel like there's not many games out there like that. And they just took the time and made the game. Well, that was your friendly neighborhood. Let me know what you guys think of it down below. I can't wait to actually pay the full game. It might seem like it's going to be like a very challenging game as I did have, as I was troubled in a couple of parts. I was like looking around forever trying to find like the key. For example, that thing was a nightmare. And also like the little puzzles were pretty cool. Like the square triangle and circle part.  But overall it was pretty amazing. I'll leave the link for you guys to check it out. The youtubers played or whatnot. Because everybody's on it right now. Since it is fresh. So yeah, thank you all for watching and I'll see you all in the next one.


And great to have you with us, as always. Yankees Hot Stove here on YesNetwork.com, Bob Lorenz, Jack Curry, and John Flaherty with you. So the news now official. We heard it at the winter meetings. Jay Hap coming back to the Yankees. It's a deal we all felt just had to happen. And it did, Bob. And it happened the way the Yankees wanted it to happen. They get him for a two-year deal with an option. It's an achievable option. It's one that you would expect Hap to be able to exercise as long as he pitches well for the Yankees. But I like this move for the Yankees because one of the things the Yankees have to figure out with any player or pitcher that they pursue is, how is this person going to acclimate to New York? And we already saw that last year with Jay Hap. 7-0 in ERA of under 3. He's a pro. Nothing gets to him. I said this a lot on our post-game shows. He reminds me of Jimmy Key, not so much about the stuff because Jimmy Key was finesse with a curve ball and Hap throws hard, lots of fastballs, but with his demeanor. I don't think anything bothers him. He could be winning 16-0 or losing 16-0. And he's got that same attitude. I have to imagine that he probably, if he wanted to, could have held out for a three-year deal somewhere. So the fact that he came back to the Yankees 2 in an option tells everybody this is where I wanted to be and take it a step further, Jack. Everybody talks about him in the clubhouse, not only being able to deal with New York, being able to pitch for the Yankees, but the positive influence that he had during his time with the Yankees last year in the clubhouse and some of the younger players. That's invaluable right now. I mean, this is a team with a lot of young talent trying to get them to be more of a veteran type player. Jay Hap's going to be another great influence. All right, let's talk about a deal that hasn't happened. I don't think has to happen, and I think some people share that viewpoint, but do you, Yankees, signing Manny Machado? Yeah, the Yankees are going to meet with him this week. We know that. They're going to meet on Wednesday. I know the Yankees are interested in Manny Machado. We've reported that. Other people have reported that, but the addendum for me has always been that the Yankees are interested in Manny Machado under their parameters, under what they think they believe they should give him in terms of years and money. He's also going to meet with the White Sox and the Phillies this week. We'll see, Bob. I don't think this is a deal that's going to happen anytime soon. I think both he and Harper are going to drag their free agency out. I just don't know if the Yankees are going to be the team that makes the highest offer. I don't think they will be. So that's why I think Machado ends up going to the highest bidder. I don't think it's going to be the team in the Bronx. You know, this meeting is intriguing to me, though, like what's going to take place. I'm sure there's going to be some whining and dining, but Hal Steinbrenner was very honest and said, I would like to talk to Manny Machado about the not hustling comments. Is that going to be a sit-down that's going to happen? You would assume that it will be. Will he make enough of a positive impression kind of jack to your point that the Yankees say, okay, this is somebody we're comfortable with on our terms and see if you can get a deal done. All right, we'll keep an eye on that. That's going to do it for now. Make sure to keep up with, yes, the social media feeds and yesnetwork.com for all the latest on the Yankees. Plus, you can check your listings for air times of Yankees Hot Stove. Take care.


Who am I? I am mom to John Michael. I also spend, have been spending some time in community. I'm the Woodstock WordPress Meetup Organizer and former organizer of WordCamp Atlanta. I run Sugar 5 Design. We're a little web shop just north of Atlanta. We specialize in small business and medical marketing. As Nathan said, we also, I also am the lead instructor at Medical Marketing Unlocked, where we help marketing agencies learn to navigate HIPAA regulations. And I also partner with a wealth management firm so our company can help you grow your profits and then make your profits grow. So, but I am also a neurodivergent supervillain. So, I don't know if you noticed, but I've got a gray streak which is the hallmark of every really good supervillain. And everybody's hero is a villain to someone else. Being a hero is just not that fun feeling for me, but being a villain, I can get down with that. So, who are you? So, I'm here to talk today about running your business when you're neurospicy. And my particular neurospiciness might not be yours, but here's some of the common ones that show up in the WordPress space. I would say a good majority of us who do this work are neurospicy in some way. Here's some of the common ones. Mine is ADHD. So, and I probably have some of the other ones, but this is the one I have a diagnosis for. And I was formerly fueled by coffee, hence this theme. And I'd like to talk about potential and how we can reach our potential in our businesses, but also what it means when you reach your potential. So, I don't have like, hey, you need this tool. You need this thing. What I really want to talk about is learning to manage your energy and where your focus goes, because if you have ADHD like me, focus is the main thing that you, energy and focus is what you struggle with. And every one of us has probably heard at some point in our life, you know, you have so much potential if you could only reach your potential. And everybody wants to reach their potential into they do. And what happens when you've maxed out your potential, we usually call that burnout, right? When you've hit that wall and you are doing everything you can and you can't do anything more. And that is a problem. And one of the, what leads to burnout is we can't sustain our energy and focus for other people's priorities. But we also have trouble sustaining our energy and focus for our own priorities, unless dopamine, we need lots and lots and lots of dopamine because with dopamine, we can do anything. So, talking about neurodivergent motivation, specifically ADHD, we get motivated and get our dopamine from different places than neurotypical people do. So, for us to be efficient and productive, we need the task and the dopamine. And together, we can be efficient and productive. Without those things, we just have a task that's just hanging. And we, we don't know why we can't do it, but we just can't do it. So, here's the different types of neurodivergent motivation for ADHD specifically, novelty, urgency, and interest. So, novelty, I mean, we all know what new shiny means, right? Like, that's the thing that we want to go to. Urgent, like we can probably do two weeks worth of work in the 45 minutes before something's done, right? And interest, is it, is it in my special interest area? Is it challenging? Is it something that is going to stimulate my brain and give me dopamine? Because with dopamine, I can do anything. But this is different from neurotypical motivation, neurotypical motivation, consequences, importance and rewards. How many of you have had someone say, I don't understand why you can't do this, because if you don't, these are the consequences that are going to happen. Or this is so important, why can't you, like, muster the focus when it's this important? Or, you know, if you do what you'll get out of it. Well, our brains just don't work that way, because neurotypical motivation just doesn't work for us. Neurotypical workflows don't work for us. And neurotypical workloads don't work for us. And because we're not neurotypical. And if you try, keep trying to push yourself into a neurotypical box to folk, to exist and function like they do, then that ultimately leads to burnout. And that doesn't mean that we can't handle the same types of problems and we can't handle the same types of projects. It just means we have to manage our energy. And that's something I really want to talk about and make you think about today. So that's me. And why is that me? Because I feel like things are always going a little sideways for me. But that's okay, because I'm having fun. So we are really great. And some of the great, we always think about the downsides of having ADHD. But some of the upsides are, you know, sometimes you can be super energetic, you know, also sometimes you can be drained. But the upside is energetic, super creative. And when the dopamine is there, we can be hyper focused and spontaneous, passionate.  But what a lot of us struggle with is being seen as being reliable, right? So if you're not managing your energy well, your inner integrity may not be translating to outward integrity. If you're missing deadlines, if you are not able to follow through, because you don't have a good plan to manage your neuro spiciness, then our outer integrity suffers. And so that's what we want to address. So where we want to make sure is that we're focusing on our strengths and where our energy goes and understanding that there are going to be some places where our energy fails. And we need to plan for that. And we need to adjust for that. So when we, when we don't plan for that, we get burned out. And I hit a really big burnout during the pandemic. When I say I reached my potential, every bit that I could do, I did. And then I couldn't do anymore. And that felt like failure. So everybody says, well, you know, if you could just reach your potential, well, I did. And it was a failure. And I had to learn how to restructure my life so I could continue on. At the time, I was running a business, homeschooling a child, and also trying to support my community. And I couldn't even support myself because I was burned out. So talking about energy, introverts versus extroverts, I know you probably all know this, but introvert does not mean shy. It can mean shy. But I am an introvert, and I'm probably one of the most outgoing people you've ever met. I could talk to a rock and we'll be friends and be messaging on Twitter before the day is over. But introversion, mean introversion versus extroversion is really more a managing of energy. We're going to be talking about this the whole time. Introverts get drained in complex social environments, and extroverts get charged up. So introverts want really more meaningful, deep one-on-one conversations. And extroverts really, they just get charged up with just like the chaotic nature of lots and lots of attention and focus. And I used to think I was an extrovert, and then I was just really sleepy afterwards. No, no, I'm an introvert.  You know, I think tracking this and like understanding if I'm going to be doing today, if I'm going to be speaking to a lot of people and I'm going to be doing things that drain me, I don't need to have too many of those things in my schedule for a day because I know myself and I know I'm going to run out of what I'm of my energy. Now, this is a really, really touchy subject. Internalized ableism. Growing up with ADHD, there's probably a good chance that you heard things and messages about yourself and your value that you internalized over time. Are you lazy? Do you not care? Why can't you do something? Are you faulty? Are you broken? No, you're not, but you may be carrying these internalized messages and they force you, like compel you, make it compulsive for you to keep trying to do things that your brain is not set up to do. That's what really led to my burnout. I was sitting at my desk up to 12 to 16 hours a day some days trying to get four tasks done that my brain could not do and I kept trying to force it and force it. I know I can do this. I know I could do this, but I couldn't do it because I wasn't managing my energy. I was trying to push myself into a neurotypical box. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 49 years old and when I tell you it was the best thing that ever happened to me because I was like, oh, this explains so much. I've been trying to live as a different person than I really am. I'm not broken and I know ADHD is technically a disorder. I'm not a medical professional, but having spent time in the ADHD community, my personal opinion is ADHD is just a natural variation of the human experience. We were built for a different type of society than we have right now and that's okay because I feel like what we do have is superpowers, but we might still need to be peeling back that onion and looking at the messages that we are telling ourselves. Non-judgmental self-observation is one of the most powerful tools that I have in my toolbox of my personal growth and learning how to navigate this. I can say, oh, I didn't realize that I thought that about myself, just by observing the thoughts that I'm saying because that can drain your energy as well. Has anybody heard of Spoon Theory? Spoon Theory is a term coined by Christine Missarandino and she's kind of a very popular blogger and she was talking to a friend one day about what it was like to live with chronic illness and while this isn't really an illness, it is a disability and the way she described it is she grabbed a bunch of spoons out of her pantry and she laid them out on the table and she said, imagine each one of these spoons is a unit of energy that you have for the day and this is all the energy you have for the day and anything that you're doing that is not naturally energetic for you cost you a spoon so maybe that might be for some people just getting up and taking a shower and getting dressed, you remove a spoon.  And she kept doing this and when all the spoons are gone for the day, however many spoons you have and everybody has a different level of spoons, but when all your spoons are gone, you crash and you're burned out for the day and you have to rest but you can borrow spoons from the next day and just keep pushing and pushing and pushing but that is what causes illness. So also when you're running your business with ADHD and if you find yourself being sick and missing productivity time because you're ill a lot, are you borrowing spoons from the next day and think about like as you're going through the day just being aware of how your energy levels drop or rise with different things you do can help you manage your productivity.  This is something that you can start thinking about delegating to somebody else. If you have a team maybe this is thing these are things that your team can do and last week I heard this lady on TikTok and TikTok is like the best thing ever but also in ADHD or is kryptonite. I was almost late today because I was watching TikTok before I got in the shower. So she said this lady said that what she found really helpful was making you know we all have to-do lists right? And lists and planners are the bane of an ADHD years life. Could you just get a planner? Everyone says to us why don't you just make a list? Come on. Like why didn't I think of that? But anyway so she says instead of having a whole list of all the things that she thinks she needs to get done today she'll choose four. What's the priority and she'll put that on her to-do list and everything else that she thinks that she needs to get done she puts on the list to delegate to the universe.  And she said what ended up happening was almost miraculously things on the list that had been delegated to the universe things started just getting done. And that's you know probably scientifically speaking that's probably because your subconscious is working on it because you know it's a problem but you know if you're you can ascribe other reasons. So here's your takeaways. These are things that help me throughout the day just little tips and tricks. Keep your shoes on. So if I keep my shoes on during the day if I'm working at home it's keep signals my brain that I am still active for the day and that I'm doing stuff. But I take my shoes off I might as well take my bra off too we're done like we're done. Dopamine stack so do you have something that you really don't like doing you can pair it with something that gives you dopamine for me I would rather take an old school beating with a belt than do my bookkeeping like I just I hate that more than anything but right now I don't have a team member to delegate my bookkeeping to and so what I do is I pair it with an album that I really really love and so for that Icarus Falls by Zane is my productivity album it's an hour and 35 minutes long it's a double album and if I need 90 minutes of productivity on doing something that I just I don't really care for I will pair it with listening to this album and I've done that so many times now that when I turn on that album my brain switches on because I have trained it to associate productivity with that music also Pomodoro techniques because we are competitive deadlines are important to us and so Pomodoro is kind of like where you can set a timer for 20 30 60 90 minutes whatever your stretch is and and do that and then take a structured break and you have to stop when you're done and so it forces you to take breaks because also even if we're not being productive sometimes we find it hard to stop stop in our inefficiency because we're like but I need to get this done no you need to take a break and come back GDC JRS so this is a system that I came up with to help my son clean his room and my son also is a little neuro spicy so we have a lot of fun and a lot of mess a lot of the time so we have to have systems in order to manage our home and maybe there's a version of this that you could use in your business and so what it stands for is garbage dishes clothes junk reset and sweep because he would look at his room and say this is overwhelming I don't know how to do any of this and I say well but do you know how to go grab all the garbage out of your room you know how to go get the dishes how to pick up the dirty clothes how to put the junk where it goes how to reset the room like if the pillows go over here and this is kind of moved out of place and you know how to sweep and so each one of these things takes him about three minutes and I'll tell him if he's got if he's getting bored or I just need him to go do something like go pick a letter and he knows what that means and he'll go pick a letter and he'll do it and he'll just go on with his day but I found this very helpful for myself because there's a lot of times I've got a lot of things to do and in my mind I'm like that's going to take forever and in reality how many of you have put something off for weeks and then when you went to go do it it took you 15 minutes yeah like for real um so having a list this is kind of like I have a list of things that take me between five and 15 minutes that I have to do on a recurring basis and when I'm like okay I know I need to get stuff done but I'm like spinning my wheels I'm like just go pick something off the list right um and also we think we're going to remember things but we don't I mean I can remember an exact conversation from the last time me and my romantic partner got into an argument and I remember everything he said and blah blah blah but if you asked me what is next on my to-do list or what I have to get at the grocery store nothing right so um I have just just decided that I'm outsourcing that to Alexa so every time that um I'm like oh I'm out of this Alexa put this on the shopping list and I've got an IFTTT um integration with from Alexa to Trello for my to-do list like I have project management but then sometimes I've just got stuff in my head I'm like oh I gotta get this done Alexa put this on my to-do list right and so that has just that one thing has changed my life um and then PM guy versus AM guy does anybody here have an AM guy that's a go-getter and a PM guy that just screws everything up yeah right um my PM my PM gal um is lazy and she when she is done the shoes are off the bra has slung out the arm um we are done for the day and um and she's kind of a jerk but I had focused for the longest time on my morning routine because we hear oh you've got to have a great morning routine morning routine but what I'm finding and being in the ADHD community and you know really observing myself non-judgmentally is that the bedtime routine is really the most important because in the morning you're already in the day right you're and I find it much easier if I'm emotionally detached that I'm preparing for a time that's not now I can like the the stress is off and I can do things and enjoy them um as opposed to in the morning like I have to have my clothes set out the next day like make sure that I know what I'm eating for breakfast because I actually have to journal out what I'm eating breakfast lunch and dinner or I will like get into a hyper focus and then realize I'm starving and now I don't know how to feed myself because I'm like stressed out um but then if I can just look at what I'm eating I'm okay I know what I'm doing I bet you're wondering about eyebrows right so eyebrows um so if you raise your eyebrows it releases and you hold them up for a little bit it releases a micro dose of dopamine and serotonin and um so if you're finding yourself stressed out you can just raise your eyebrows but if you ever see me walking around like this you know the way I'm not having a great day all right and um I'd like to just I'm not a doctor but I would like to emphasize that medication is not the enemy for a lot of people medication is literally life saving I was diagnosed earlier middle of last year and um I was put on Adderall and within two hours my brain turned on for the first time in my life fully and there was a um a task that I had been putting off for four months because it seemed so overwhelming that I could not move forward and it was costing me thousands of dollars a month within two hours of my first dose it was done and this is not everyone's experience but for me I had been living my entire life on 20 percent of my brain power and so getting medicated has been um one I was no longer anxious and depressed and um I was able to fully function as a human um and not saying that anybody who's not medicated isn't human obviously we are but um it is there is an issue with how much dopamine our brains make versus how much our environment requires right and there's nothing wrong with not medicating but there's also not anything wrong with medicating and we hear a lot of messaging around ADHD is uh or Adderall and Ritalin and Vivants and all of these things that they are just crutches well yeah when you've got a broken leg you do need a crutch right so um when I say I'm basically an evangelist for ADHD medication because it has changed my life I was I was so depressed and anxious and I had to come off my depression medication because my um I was having problems with my blood pressure and when I went and had my first medication appointment the doctor I said do well well now that my blood pressure is back under control should I start back my um my depression medication she goes no let's wait most people when they get on medication their depression anxiety severely drops you know it you know it almost goes away in most cases because you've been fighting a brain that doesn't match your environment for so long um that you just become depressed um I also my blood pressure um didn't I started not have a lot less problems with my blood pressure and I dropped 15 pounds because I was no longer compulsively trying to soothe a brain that didn't match my environment so I would like to just encourage you to embrace your superpowers and give yourself grace for the ways that your brain doesn't match your environment because that's not your fault and but if you continue to live like it does match your environment you're it's going to hurt you and you're going to be less productive and you're not going to enjoy yourself as much so does anybody have any questions I went through that pretty fast anybody no yeah no yep there we go there we are all right thank you April that was fantastic I enjoyed every every single minute of your presentation thank you thank you um any questions no how about this is anybody have a thing that um people have told you or bad advice that people have for 80 hd years I'm going to give you an example I um I found these last night on twitter see if it resonates with anybody one just make a list make a list or buy a planner anybody anybody have planners anybody have 47 planners just focus wow why didn't I think of that um don't overthink it like I have a choice all I do is overthink uh anybody else have anything that they that they hear a lot that's unhelpful advice or maybe you have some helpful advice yes well I don't I don't have anything to add to that list because I've heard all of them but first of all you said you were diagnosed at 49 I thought you were 35 so I you know but uh I was diagnosed when I was about 30 and uh I also have high blood pressure and uh lately I've had to come off of Adderall because of that what uh do you know anything and I understand the disclaimer that you're not a doctor I kind of figured you probably weren't I probably not yeah but uh do you know of anything that maybe doesn't have that same because I mean it's basically a stimulant the only thing I found that wasn't is Dratera which the doctor put me on a dose that caused me to be sleepy all the time and that's a no go for me so just any thoughts on that or how is your blood pressure now that you okay so that's a really good question um I'm extremely sensitive to medication and so when I went in the minimum dosage that they usually start you off on Adderall is 10 milligrams so I knew right away I was like I'm probably not going to be able to take that because my blood pressure is very sensitive it was under control and I I did try 10 milligrams and my blood pressure went through the roof right and then I was like oh that's not going to work but I had asked my doctor because I know I'm sensitive to get instead of a 10 milligram to give me two fives I said because then I can like build up over a series of weeks and that's what I did I took five and then I would I would monitor my blood pressure and and then I had because I had um I was on short acting to the first one right um and then once I was able to take five like after a couple of weeks because I doubled up on my blood pressure medication at first um and once I was able to not have that second dose I was like okay now let's go to you know 10 and once I was able to do that then I switched to five extended release I mean I really just built up my tolerance but I know still some people can't do that and what I have seen help with other people in my life and I know a lot of people are not a big fan of Joe Rogan but his um um on it his company on it has a product called alpha brain and it is extremely helpful for some people um also pairing um I've heard in the community pairing lion's mane and chaga um the mushrooms with caffeine is you know a good supplement personally caffeine affects me more than Adderall does and so that's not a good I mean when I say that I love coffee uh my my bestie here knows like I am a coffee person so switching to DF was a big change for me but I had to come completely off of coffee to get the full effects of my medication because I couldn't have the two together you're welcome you're welcome all right another question hello that's a thorough fellow neo divergent yes I've heard it all from social media saying we're immature you can grow out that behave better uh that doesn't work it doesn't um you know one of the things autistic people like to do is stimming mm-hmm clap my hands a lot sometimes I mean another thing I've learned over time is to relax you know I like I like to my alone time I'm an introvert too so I have stuff on the computer I just I like watching cartoons any cartoons or game shows weird things but I've learned over time ways to manage my autism and then autism in the age to do your chronic was to each other very close yes but um like I said I just in order to behave the people from social media or in person that says bad things about me because it's seems like it's growing especially under certain people around the world and it's just it's getting frustrating well there's a lot thank you for bringing that up um I think we fall into a lot of a lot of times we fall into the category of other because we are not like you know the other people around us and people sometimes have an aversion to other and so breaking down that wall of um one with each other and kind of like well we might be other but we are same and being connecting to the other people who are newer divergent is has been very helpful for me but I'm glad you brought up stemming because stemming is also really helpful for ADHD people like I know um so stemming is any repetitive activity or motion that relieves stress and a lot of times for me it's like with my fingers like I will do this or I will tap my hands and that's releasing energy or stress in the environment um I know people who like just like rub their legs or their arms and um in in childhood a lot of us are told to stop doing that you know please stop doing that you're making other people uncomfortable or stop fidgeting but fidgeting is literally managing your energy supply and so maybe there's a way you know maybe you can't get up in the middle of a meeting and start spinning right but maybe you can have a fidget toy or some type of way that you can channel your your fidgeting but if you need to spend by all means spend thank you for that there's thank you um you on one of the quality opening slide you had um auditory processing delay um what from your experiences or maybe you know input that you've gotten from other people what are some of like the signs that they were showing they were showing some struggles with and what were some methods they did to overcome those so um I am not diagnosed with audio processing disorder but I but I did go see an audiologist because I do have all the signs of audio processing disorder and um I was told that they don't diagnose adults with that I think that's changed that was about 10 years ago um but for me the signs were when I would be under stress people talking to me in my native language English sounded like a foreign language so I would say what what and it's it would just sound garbled because my brain would not translate the waves that were coming in into correct language or um also in this this is across a lot of neuro spiciness is um the hyper focus where you literally can't hear somebody talking to you right so you're you know you're focused and someone's like and then they're like why are you ignoring me I'm like I didn't even know you were talking you know so that um and also a lot of you know sensory sensitivity crosses a lot of the borders but I think also if you like if you're having trouble processing language for one is probably the biggest hallmark there's a great book called the win the brain can't hear and this it's actually um what really got me going down the rabbit hole of learning about my own brain because I had felt like it's almost like an audio dyslexia right and um for for years my mom would tell me you have selective hearing right you want to hear what you want to hear and and I'm like I I'm really not you know and I was walking through the library and it just caught my eye when the brain can't hear and I just stopped and I went oh my god and pulled it out that is a fantastic resource and it explains a lot of that thank you to talking about the voice the audio processing because English is my third language and I literally can shut English and don't hurt anything and I got a trouble with it I I just figured it out these right now get that book it's an incredible resource yeah it really is and I would and I know I've said this but if you are neurodivergent in any way I strongly believe you're probably extremely gifted in some way and I think that's just the brain's way of balancing like you you have this extreme giftedness and we had to pull something from somewhere else and that's just where our deficits are is where we got pulled from and my question is how do you keep up with all the ideas came up in your brain all the ideas that you have when you're driving and you see something oh would be cool if I do something or you just you know tune your couch and see like an advertiser like oh that would be nice how do you keep up with all these ideas pop up in your head every single second so that's a great question and I used to think I had to keep up with all of that but when you're neuro spicy ideas are like buses another one's coming around the block in 15 minutes and you I just believe you have to learn to let go you can't take action on every idea nor should you or you you know how would you manage your day but it's wonderful to say oh man that's such a great idea you know um and acknowledge that your brain is so gifted that it gives you a constant flow of ideas and that that faucet will never turn off can you imagine how many people would love to have one good idea and we've got great ideas every three seconds right we just have to understand and just practice letting go because you can't you can't do everything but if you do have Siri or Alexa on your phone or whatever the android version of that is I'm a little ignorant in that area so or google like hey google um you can say add this to a note you know if you really want to track something or you found the answer to something you've been listening for and you know it's going to disappear out of your brain in five minutes I mean I really believe in automation I like that I strongly strongly believe in that does that help at all yeah yeah and sometimes it's just remembering I have a solution for that right yeah I wanted to say thank you for your talk it was incredible I'm like all my ears are turning now my question though is how did you figure out the thing about the eyebrows because that's interesting so I am just a compulsive knowledge collector and I'm really interested in everything and I read a lot and I just happened across it I used to wait tables and which is I don't know why I would choose that as a way to make money because that's remembering a lot of stuff in your head all the time and but I would get stressed out and and I read somewhere that when you're stressed raise your eyebrows and it would help you manage your stress so when I say I would like if you ever see me doing like this I would be waiting tables like this oh my god yeah but speaking of waiting tables when we're talking about audio processing disorder um one of the treatments for that is um is they have like a recorder and you listen to the recording and you repeat back what you heard training yourself to remember things and at the time like I said I was waiting tables I was like oh so what I do every day so that's uh water and you want the burger and fries so yeah funny yeah yeah lots of raised eyebrows for me uh hello um so my question comes from how you were talking about journaling your food and what you would eat that day um and I personally I found a lot of benefit in journaling but my biggest downfall is there is that uh I just never remember to do it so same same I struggle so yeah so what are um some things you do to try and keep that they're free to do and stuff like that I guess yeah so I have two a two part answer if I forget the second part that I'm answering remind me because you know that happens too um so first of all um part of my bedtime routine is like I try to plan for the next day right do I always remember that no but setting an alarm like you know even for Alexa like please remember you know like if you know you go to bed at 9 30 every night at eight o'clock you know you can send an alarm for Alexa to remind you um and yeah so what was the second part like how do you how do you manage the the journaling yeah I think so I've tried oh here's the other thing I was gonna say you will find solutions and then they will stop working for you and then you have to find another solution and that is normal and so you are not a failure if you get a planner and it's been working great for six weeks and then all of a sudden it stops working for you and you have to find another solution that's normal for ADHD so give yourself grace there and just understand that every solution that you find is a temporary solution that will stop working at some point right um at one point I was using obsidian so at the using that take notes and I would have a daily journal and it was like here's my plan for tomorrow this is what I'm gonna do and I would track my things and I would have what's a what I'm having for breakfast lunch and dinner and that worked for about two weeks and then it stopped working and so right now I'm attempting to do like you know taking notes with Siri or Alexa and saying you know this is because well I need to capture it when I think about it and so I'm really trying to train myself to let my automations do work for me my you know my smart home and really lean on that and that's a work in progress I mean is I wish I had a better answer for you but it's like whatever works for you and you might have to try four or five of them and then know that you're gonna have to do try four or five more again but I think the benefits of planning your food and at least if you know okay well for breakfast I'm gonna have this for lunch I'm gonna go out you know so that you know ahead of time because a lot of us will crash because we get hyper focused hyper focused and forget how to feed ourselves because now our blood sugar has dropped and we don't we can't process that information yeah sorry I wish I wish I could do better for you we have time for maybe two more questions good morning hi I just wanted to say first I want to say thank you I thank you for other things but I didn't get a chance to thank you for the fact that you are so open as a fellow neurodivergent and someone who teaches this in a course it is refreshing when people are open because as you know people are very uncomfortable so that's my question how do you navigate when you can tell other people are uncomfortable with the fact that you are so open about where you stand so that's a complicated issue I am very blessed that I'm a woman over 40 because when you hit as a woman over 40 you just quit caring what other people think and that's a gift if you're not there yet it gets better you know but also I realize that other people's discomfort is not my problem that is their business and I make a point if you hear me talk about my neurodivergence and you're like yeah you've already told me that um I'm not trying to beat a dead horse with it what I'm trying to do is make it a part of my practice to be open and explain you know like oh yeah well you know I struggle with this because of this and you know or just dropping it into casual conversation like somebody would talk about a neurotypical person would talk about any other aspect of their life this is a huge aspect of my life and so this is just a part of my personal spiritual growth is and personal growth is to be accepting of who I am and this is just a part of my healing journey because a lot of us who are neurodivergent have severe trauma from your childhood um from just trying to focus at having to live in an environment that your brain doesn't match so yeah but I cannot overemphasize the beauty of being upper 40 I agree not uh I wanted to wait until everybody's real questions were over so that I could say one one thing and yes I thank you as well because I've I've struggled with really trying to keep it under wraps not not let people pick up on it so well um um uh part of it I've already forgotten but uh I do think it's really cool that you're that I'm not the only person that says please and thank you to Alexa well I tell him oh go ahead the the other thing when somebody says why don't you ever listen just look at him and say that's an odd way to start a conversation excellent excellent uh talking about saying please and thank you to Alexa I tell my son um because I want him to be in the habit of of saying please and thank you to everybody but I tell him I was like look when the robots take over they're gonna know that you are nice all right April where can we find you for the rest of the day for those who still have questions so I'll be around um and I have let's see if we can pull up the screen because my screen died let's see if is it gonna work no probably not oh but anyway you can look I was too fast look how impulsive I am there we go okay um are we gonna can we go slide we'll just scroll but then you can follow me on twitter I love twitter I love tiktok more but you can follow me on twitter at the april weir eye before the e and um I'm on there several times a day like I'm sure probably some of you are and um yeah ask me ask me anything so I'm very accessible and very open with all the knowledge I have so awesome big round of applause for April thank you thank you all right up next


You know what I really like about Camp Chef and all of our sponsors is they're always coming up with new and innovative ideas This is great for backpacking, but it's also great if you want to make a quick meal You slap the whole thing together. It comes in its own little bag I'm going to make myself a little quick snack. I have some pheasant stock frozen pheasant stock to go with the stock. I've got some cilantro. I've got tomatoes I've got mushrooms. I've got green onions gas on flame on All right, so in no time at all This boiled these are venison pot stickers venison dumplings. Just give that a stir The dumplings are going to take about a minute to cook lid on Eat down a little bit. Look at my little venison dumpling quick Striker doesn't that look delicious?


So I guess as the score I would suggest it was a quite a tight occasion this afternoon at Shrewsbury. Yeah, tough game. They came and matched us up and went man for man in the middle of the park there. It was a difficult first half, KG should we say. We had the better of it and the one moment of real quality produced a goal. To get the half time one up was a big lift for us and obviously it can see straight after the break was a blow and I felt it knocked us to a certain degree but we stuck to our job. We rolled our sleeves up and we made sure we got something out of the game. We'd love to have taken all three but today we'll have to take the point. I suppose the frustration is the goal is probably the only thing that Ben, or very little of what Ben had to do was not have too much to do. Obviously most of the traffic was going towards their goal. Yeah, they've created very little but they came and set the stall out and made it difficult but in terms of creating chances they didn't really threaten us. And it was a freakish type of goal that we should have dealt with it. Obviously there's things we could do better on it but it's a ricochet which is rolled into the back of the net almost in slow motion. So it set us back and there's a lot of effort out there today, a lot of honesty from us. At times we didn't produce the quality like we did in the first half against Swindon and at times against York but we had to make sure we got a result and should have been all three but we'll take the point.

Hello everybody! Watch this video to find out how to recover data from a RAID array with the help of Hetman RAID Recovery. We are going to recover a RAID 0 stripe array created with the help of Adaptec ASR6805D controller and obtain data from a damaged RAID system. Hello friends! If you need to recover deleted data, view or restore removed browse in history, Hetman software products will help you. Follow the link in the description. Download the necessary program for free, install it and analyze the disk. The utility will show you the data you can recover, so you will be able to view it or get it back. In our channel and blog you will find solutions to any problem, from installing an operating system or configuring it to fixing possible bugs and errors or optimizing mobile gadgets. Our specialists will answer any questions you ask in your comments, under the videos or articles. Although RAID can improve the reliability of data storage, still it's not the cure-all solution against data loss. Experience has shown that if you rely completely on the array's reliability and overlook to create a regular backup plan, a single-controller failure or disk failure means a grave risk of losing the data that you think is so reliably stored inside your RAID. The probability of data loss can be reduced by monitoring the array's status regularly and conducting maintenance works. But you can never bring it to naught. There is always a risk to lose data, but it's good to have specialized software around able to bring the missing files back. Hetman RAID Recovery restores data from non-imperational RAID systems or from disks within such systems. The utility reads from the storage system all the information about the controller, the motherboard or the software used to create a disk array. Your product can rebuild the crash RAID and it lets you copy all important information from there. First of all, let's find out why a RAID system may fail. The most common cause that makes disk arrays fail is the negligence of their system administrators. If one of the hard disks is out of order and is not replaced timely, it may cause data loss in the future. Both hard disk types, HDD and SSD, have a limited operational life. The most RAID arrays, the day when one or two disks fail, means loss of all information from all disks within this array. When one of the disks fails, the best option is to backup important data immediately, replace the faulty disk and rebuild the array. It is very important to backup vital information before the rebuilding, because errors may occur while the disk is replaced and when the whole system freezes, it can only be solved by restarting it. These mistakes, when replacing one of the disks within the storage system, accidentally rebuilding the array instead of restoring it, disconnecting and reconnecting the disks in the wrong order, incorrect RAID initialization – any of these things will certainly result in the loss of information. Besides, there are many other causes that may damage your RAID. The controller or motherboard breakdown, an operating system crash, a virus attack, system update or hardware upgrade, etc. All in all, there are too many factors to trigger a data loss and make you seek opportunities to recover valuable information. Before doing anything, you are supposed to know what shouldn't be done unless you want to lose the data for good. So don't rebuild an array with all disks hoping that it might start and work properly. In the process, you may get all the remaining data overwritten, and it won't be restored in any way then. Some conduct initialization, because checkdisk, scan or other similar actions may mean trouble. Always remember that in a case of data loss, you should stop writing anything to the disks, because it may overwrite them with new data. Before doing anything after a RAID crash, it's always a good idea to ask a professional for advice. At the moment, there are about 15 RAID types around, or maybe more, if we consider the outdated versions. Of all the possible variations, the most widespread types are RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 10, RAID 5, and RAID 6. Hetman RAID Recovery supports disk arrays created both with the operating system or motherboard features, and will specialize controllers or external storage solutions by various manufacturers. You can see all the supported RAID types on the screen. RAID 1, 0, 10, 5, 50, 1A, 5E, 5EE, 2, 6, 4, 60, which sent for 6 plus 0, and JBOD. Recovery data from RAID systems differs greatly from conventional data recovery operations, because the RAID architecture uses a unique and complicated method to store and extract information. With our product, even novice users will have a chance. It has a special feature that detects the configuration of the damaged RAID system automatically. Having collected all the available information from the system and connected disks, the utility displays the automatically built arrays immediately, as soon as the program starts. In most cases, the program manages to restore RAID on the fly and suggests you to analyze the identified partitions and save any available data. If you are up to recovery data from RAID disks, using professional data recovery software is crucial. The Data Recovery Wizard integrated into Hetman RAID Recovery will help you restore data from any hard disk within a RAID system, as long as your computer can recognize it. In our case, we have created a RAID 0 Stripe array based on an Adaptec ASR6805T controller and two hard disks. There is some data on the disks, several folders containing photos and videos. Let's simulate a case of controller failure. Connect the hard disk directly to a Windows 10 computer. The operating system recognizes these disks as raw format, and when you try to open one of them, the notification saying, location is not available pops up. Usually, you have to format the disk to access it, but if you do it, all the information on it will be lost. In this case, however, we'll be using the special tool to restore data from RAID. Download, install and run Hetman RAID Recovery. Open the Drive Manager tab and find the line RAID arrays. Select your RAID from the list, right-click on it and click Open. Try a fast scan first. If the disk structure is not damaged, the disk scan type will suffice. If the fast scan can't find the missing data, then go for full analysis. When it's over, the program will display the results in the right side of the window. It has found all the files still remaining on the disks and those that have been removed, so all you need to do is to save them to another disk. If the program could not detect your RAID automatically, use the RAID constructor. It has several modes to help you with this task. If the program managed to detect your RAID type, select it from the list and click Next. Select if the array characteristics are detected correctly and if they are, just click Add. If your array is not listed, build it with the help of three modes available at your disposal. The first mode is Automatic. The program will ask you to specify the number of disks that your RAID used to consist of and below you select these disks by checking the corresponding boxes and then click Next. The program will start the automatic search for all possible configurations and your task is to select the one you need from the list and click Add. After that, the RAID system will appear in the Drive Manager. Now, it can be analyzed to recover the missing data. Another method to add a RAID system is to search it by Wenda. The program contains possible array combinations used by popular controller manufacturers, as well as patterns applied by software-based or combined RAID systems. Here specify the vendor of the controller that you used to create the RAID and the array type. If you know the block size for the hard disk, specify it by choosing the corresponding option. It will make the search more efficient. When all the known information about this RAID is provided, click Next. Specify the number of disks that your RAID used to consist of. Select the disk below and hit Next again. The program will start searching for possible configurations and display it in the next window. Select a suitable configuration and click Add. The RAID system will appear on the list of disks. With Manual mode, you can create a RAID storage system of any configuration. However, this method is better suited for advanced users, as it requires more detailed information about the RAID system. When data is written to a RAID array, the information is broken into blocks and written to different disks within the array. That is why, in the Manual mode, the program will ask you to specify the number of disks that your RAID used to consist of, the block size and other useful information. Specify the array type, block size, add the disks that were used in this RAID and indicate their order. To change the order of the disks, select the one you need and use the arrow keys to move it up or down the list. If you don't know this information, it's safer to use one of the methods for adding an array that have been described before. However, if you have all the array information, it will make the search and recovery operations much faster. Also, you can specify the disk offset and delay options. When you specify all the properties you know, click Add. After that, scan the disk and, after the analysis is over, go to the directory where the lost information used to be. Hetman RAID Recovery features a special preview mode which lets you see the file's contents without writing any data to the damaged array. Select the files you want to restore and click Recovery. Specify where to save the data and click Recovery again. When the process is over, you will find the recovered data in the folder you have chosen for saving it. In addition to disk arrays created with the help of specialized controllers, motherboards, or external storage systems, our program can also recover data from RAID systems based on the features integrated into Windows, Mac, Linux, and Unix operating systems. As you can see, this program is quite simple and user-friendly. If you have some basic understanding of how your RAID system works, you will be able to recover data from such disks without too much effort. It doesn't matter how many disks remain to be healthy in your RAID and how much of their space is overwritten. This program analyzes the remaining disks and tries to combine them into a healthy array. In the course of rebuilding the array and searching for the information, missing data is getting replaced by zeros, and the program tries to extract the remaining information from the disks and help the user recover it. And that is all for now. Hopefully this video was useful. Remember to click the Like button and subscribe to our channel. Push the bell button to receive notifications and never miss new videos.

David Einhorn went from superstar to loser. This video will be about value investing, long-term investing, performance, volatility and we'll look into his portfolio, his current holdings, his mistakes, his strategy, his future outlook and his great past performance. Good day, fellow investors. My name is Venkarlin. For those who don't know me, I manage the stock market research platform. I have a small investment fund. I'm a book author and today I want to share my views. I want to learn from David Einhorn. He is a great investor who has beaten the S&P 500 for the first two decades of his track record but has been struggling lately and hasn't really beaten the S&P 500 since 2010, I think. So let's look into what went wrong in the last few years. Why are investors pulling out funds? What were his wrong ideas? His short Tesla, he was short Netflix, things like that. How does he approach value investing? What's the core to value investing and should you be a value investor or should you follow the herd? Something else. So just the topics, returns, what went wrong, current portfolio, strategy, history and future. Things are not that good lately. His fund is down 18.3% year to date from the second quarter report. So they experienced a loss of 18.3% while the S&P 500 returned 2.6%. That's a terrible, terrible performance. However, over the long term, two decades, he has really beaten the S&P 500. From 1996, his annualized return was 16.5% up till 2016. However, since then, things have changed. 2015 was very negative, 20% down. The return in 2016 was a positive 8.4%. 2017 was just 1.6% positive and 2018 started terribly with a loss of 18.3%. So he is lowering his annualized performance, but he is still very, very positive. He is still one of the best investors out there and he is still destroying the S&P 500 over a long term. However, investors, markets always focus on the short term and everybody is writing off David Einhorn. Should we write him off too or there is still so much to learn from him? Let's see. What went wrong? Everything started to go wrong in 2015 when he was convinced of Sun Edison, but that turned down to be a fraud, which eventually went bust and shareholders, Einhorn, being one of them, lost money. Another example is Brighthouse Financial, a company that is a spin-off from MetLife. If you have read The Margin of Safety, you know that spin-offs are an excellent investment for value investors because there is usually a lot of value, but the market needs time to adjust to spin-offs. They don't like spin-offs because then it's a new company. It's not the old company anymore and there is always great hunting territory for value investors in spin-offs. However, this Brighthouse spin-off from MetLife and Einhorn saw earnings of $8 per share, $9 per share, so he was happy with the buying price of around $67 he bought in. However, the stock is now at $41, which didn't work really well. That's a big loss. Buffett's investment in a spin-off and also Klarman's investment in a synchrony financial worked much, much better and they are up 20% since the spin-off.  Einhorn, the key is that it trades at 37% of book, five times earnings and they think that the market sees it that there is either a large capital hole or an enormous reserving problem. They don't see evidence of that. However, the company would suffer in large equity sell-off, but so would almost every stock in the market, according to Einhorn. The trigger that separates this company from other insurer companies that this company doesn't yet pay a dividend. When they start paying dividends, buying back stock as everybody else is doing, that might be the catalyst that triggers the stock price up eventually in the future. Einhorn is waiting. For now, it's 20% earnings yield, which becomes impossible to ignore once the earnings returns to shareholders in the form of cash dividends and buybacks. He is also a long general motors, his biggest position. He based that on soft banks investment in their technology, in their growth and he thinks that the company is undervalued in comparison to other companies. I personally wouldn't invest in any car maker in the late part of the economic cycle because there might be a lot of pain ahead in the short term, but markets always look short term, even if there is long term value. We'll see how that ends up. But speaking of car makers, on a personal note from Einhorn, David is happy that his model as Lee's ended. There were growing problems with the touch screen and the power windows, and he is excited to get the Jaguar i-Pace. However, they don't like Musk and I'm sure Elon Musk doesn't like Einhorn. He's calling Musk as erratic and desperate, as bravados that push up the stock price. He is short Tesla, which is another big loser for him. But fortunately for Einhorn, Tesla is down from the 420 that Musk announced. If it becomes the 420, that will be even more pain for Einhorn, even if from a fundamental perspective, he's completely right. More bad news. Einhorn has been short also on Netflix for a while, but he covered his position at 281. His strategy might have been right, but his timing was definitely wrong. And we have seen Netflix go down from above 400 to 322. Further, they made an investment in Altis Europe that is a Dutch company. They bought in at 3.49, so for my Dutch viewers, he's also investing in Europe. And now the stock price is at 2.4, another bad investment.  Einhorn under pressure as green light shrinks by 3.2 billion. This was in 2016 and there have been more money pullouts since then. So really, really a bad time for Einhorn. What are the reasons? Of course, the mistake that we just discussed, but other theories include getting older, changing lifestyles and an unwillingness to adapt to new market environments. That is what everybody has been criticizing Einhorn for. And then value investing has been tough over the last few years. And this is exactly what makes this debate very, very interesting. If you look at the portfolio set Klarman in the 1990s for six years, he has cumulatively underperformed the SAP 500 by 50%. SAP went up 120%, Klarman went up 60%. That's terrible performance. However, 2003-2004, Klarman was the winner. Walter Schloss also, 10 years he underperformed the SAP 500, 10 years only to come out ahead over the long term, beating the SAP 500 over his 50 year career by 5 percentage points per year. So value investors have to accept underperformance over a few years. They don't beat the market always, but over the long term, they might beat the market. They probably will. I don't know if Einhorn will, I don't agree with some of his thesis, but on average, value usually beats growth. And Einhorn describes this perfectly as value investing strategies are performing in the bottom one percentile since 1990. So over the last 30 years, this has been the worst year for value investing. I'm happy. I'm ahead over the last three years. I've done, of course, much, much better over the past 16 years. But I hope that over the long term, when the real returns will be measured, I will be ahead of the market, especially of this market. So let's be patient, continue to invest with a margin of safety, with the value approach. And I think that whenever you buy value over the long term, you do good. Let's look at the current portfolio, top holding, general motors. These are only U.S. holding, so the ratios are not that correct, but a good overview. Brighthouse, financial, the second Milan, the pharmaceutical company, Greenbrick Partners, a localized home builder in the States, and then RCAP Holdings. There is a video about RCAP that I made last year, if you're interested in airline exposure. So the keys here are that it is a very, very concentrated portfolio. The first five positions make 57% of the portfolio. The first 10 positions make 80% of the portfolio. The rest you can call noise. Also on the short side, there should also be concentrated bets like Tesla in this case. Now, with such a concentrated portfolio, you should not expect linearity. You should not expect slow volatility. You should expect high volatility. And that's exactly what has been going on with Einhorn. Buffett has had the privilege not to have investors that can pull out funds. That's why he has Berkshire. Einhorn has investors that in a limited way can pull out funds and that is another disadvantage to him.  We'll see how he'll end up in the future. Just to touch on some history, which will give you even a better perspective, Einhorn started his fund in 1996 with $900,000, then became famous for shorting allied capital at the SON conference in 2002. That led into a six-year fight with the company itself that was won, but brought only 35 million in profits. Talking about Piric victories. Then he became even more famous for shorting Lehman Brothers in 2007. That was a big win. However, since then he shorted Green Mountain coffee rotors, Chipolte, Athena Held, Martin Marietta Materials, Pioneer Natural Resources, Caterpillar, Core Laboratories, Netflix, Amazon and Tesla. And that's not all of it. The last short was a short guarantee. He presented that in April at the SON conference. However, the stock didn't do that well. The stock is up since then, so another loser for him. So he doesn't really get one right in the last few years. However, the message here is Einhorn has still a track record that has beaten the market over the past 22 years. And I bet you 99% of investors would love to go back there in 1996 and give all of their money to Einhorn and forget about it. So that's one. Number two. Value investing is not linear. Value investing is not stable. Value investing takes advantage of other people's irrationalities and of the volatility. When other people party, value investors get scared. But when other people sell in panic, value investors take advantage. As we haven't seen real panics over the last nine years, value investors couldn't really go for those bargains. So that's one. However, CIA ETFs, CIA index funds in 10 to 20 years. I bet your value investing will be again ahead. However, message number three. Value investing doesn't work all the time and in all circumstances. If it would be like that, then everybody would be a value investor. Value investing really works in a contrarian way and works against what is normal human psychology, herd behavior and chasing what has been doing well. Prospect theory, you buy what did well, not what is the best buy. So it's really against human nature and that's why very few people are value investors. Over the past 90 years, since 1926, academic value investing, not even common sense value investing has beaten growth investing in 94% of 10 years analyzed consequent returns. That's anything, that's all I need to know when it comes to investing. So number four, be patient, be value investor, margin of safety, common sense, be smart about investing and you'll do well over decades. That's the key.

Radars like the AN-TPS-25, a transportable battlefield surveillance radar under certain conditions can take the place of sight. The radar's RF pulses cut through most atmospheric obstructions and darkness. In addition, this radar through use of the Doppler technique produces an audio signal from moving targets facilitating target detection. The produced sound is also the characteristic signature of the type of target. Let's look at the equipment of the AN-TPS-25. This is the radar shelter. Certain components for replacing the antenna have been removed. This is the antenna assembly. The protective plastic dome encloses the radar antenna. There are three antenna mass sections used to obtain various antenna heights. This is the receiver transmitter. It also serves as the pedestal for the antenna assembly. This is the modulator. It furnishes high voltage pulses to the transmitter. And this is the accessory equipment used to replace the antenna. Power is supplied by a PU-450 G generator. This generator provides 115 volts, 400 cycles, single phase AC power. The fuel mixture for this two cycle engine is one pint of oil to each gallon of gasoline. Eight fillings of the fuel tank cap are equal to one pint. Two generators are issued with each radar set. Only one is used for operation and the other serves as a spare. Inside the shelter are the remaining major components of the radar set. These are the power supply which provides the AC and DC voltages used throughout the radar. The coordinator. It contains the servo amplifier circuits. The radar set control contains the controls and components for operating the radar. And this is the plotting board for the map. And here's something new in field artillery radar. A loud speaker which presents the moving target in sound. The operator waits until the antenna is completely erected before energizing the radar. A boom is used to gain the necessary leverage to erect the antenna. After it has been partially erected, the boom is removed. The antenna can be employed in two ways. The dome can be placed directly upon the receiver transmitter or on one, two or three mass sections, giving it a total height of 25 feet. The additional height is important when the antenna must clear ground obstructions. The antenna must always have line of sight to the target area. During the antenna emplacement certain pre-operational checks are made inside the radar shelter. All power switches must be off. Next check will be at the power supply. Switch is off. Then on the radar set control, the auto manual switch should be set at the manual search position mode 3. Having completed the pre-operational checks, the operator orders the starting of the generator. Since the antenna is completely erected and all cables are hooked up, the set may be energized. The main circuit breaker is turned on to bring power to the distribution box. The radar circuit breaker is switched on, bringing power into the power supply unit. Then the power switch is turned on, energizing the radar set. Next, generator line voltage is checked on the coordinator. At the same time, out at the antenna, another operator checks the receiver transmitter for DC voltage indications. Further checks must wait until a three to five minute warm-up period has elapsed, permitting the transmitter to be turned on. The radar controls are grouped into three general sections. Asmoth, elevation. Directly above the radar set control is the plotting board. It has a movable arm with an indicator light. They respond to the action of the asmoth and range controls. The small pencil light will shine through a battle map placed on the plotting board. It indicates the position of the range gate as set on the radar set control. The asmoth handwheel also moves the antenna. Let's observe this action. The antenna can be turned in asmoth until it reaches a limit stop. Then it must be reversed and rotated in the opposite direction. When it is reversed, it can be rotated 6,750 mils to the other limit stop. This gives a full 6,400 mils asmoth coverage with a 350 mil overlap. The radar, however, cannot scan automatically the full 6,750 mils in asmoth. The width of sector it can scan automatically is determined by the sector width control. The operator may select a sector of 360 or 540 mils. The elevation controls are in the center section. By turning the handwheel, the antenna can be elevated to plus 265 mils and depressed to minus 265 mils. The right section of the panel contains the range controls. The radar's minimum range is 450 meters. Its maximum range is 18,280 meters. The plotting board is designed to operate with either a 1 to 25,000 or 1 to 50,000 scale map simply by turning the map scale switch to the proper position. The 3 to 5 minute warm-up period has elapsed, and the radiate switch is turned on. The A scope has four controls. Intensity, focus, scope gain, vertical positioning. The radar X and Y indicators present target location in either grid or Cartesian coordinates. There are five different modes of operation with a TIPSI 25 radar. Through use of a selector switch, any one of the five can be selected. The modes are automatic search, automatic range, manual search, manual track audio, manual track video. In the first mode of operation, automatic search. The radar beam is 72 mils vertically and 180 mils wide. The beam scans continuously in azimuth over an area either 360 or 540 mils wide as selected by the operator. The range gate is 75 meters in depth. In this mode of operation, the range gate strobes out along the radar beam 900 meters from any selected range setting. The operator can change the 900 meter area simply by turning the range hand wheel. The full action in the automatic search mode is the combined action of the automatic scanning in azimuth and strobing in range. In mode two, the automatic range mode, the range gate strobes automatically, but azimuth is manually controlled. In mode three, the manual search mode, the operator has manual control of the radar beam in azimuth and range. Throughout the first three modes, the radar beam is 180 mils wide. In mode four, manual track audio, the beam becomes 36 mils in width. Azimuth and range are manually controlled. A pronounced change occurs to the scope presentation. Instead of the normal video presentation, there's a presentation of the audio return on the scope. If the target is not gated, there will be no audio presentation. Great accuracy can be obtained in this mode. When the selector switches in mode five, the radar beam is still 36 mils wide, and the operator still has complete manual control in azimuth and range. However, the presentation of the scope reverts to normal. This allows the operator to view both the target and the range gate, making it easier to detect the target as it moves along. Only when the target is properly gated is an audio return from the target possible. In all five modes of operation, the elevation of the radar beam is controlled manually. To operate properly, the radar set must be oriented. First, let's proceed with antenna orientation. The antenna must be oriented electrically as it has no means of optical orientation. Here's how it's accomplished. At a previously surveyed point at least 450 meters away from the radar, a simulated target is employed. Almost any moving reflective object will suffice. Even an ordinary canteen will do if kept in motion. This particular device produces a steady, identifiable moving target return echo, enabling the operator easily to detect and accurately located for antenna orientation. The first step in orienting the antenna is to declutch the plotting board arm. Set the radar at minimum range. Place the selector switch at mode 2 for automatic range operation. While the radar strobes automatically in range, the operator searches in azimuth by manual control to detect the simulated moving target. There, a moving target, the simulated target for orientation. Once the target has been identified, the operator places the selector switch to mode 3 for manual search. Having manual control of range, azimuth, and elevation, peek the target return. To pinpoint the exact location of target, he places the selector switch in mode 4, manual track audio, with a narrow beam that target is peeked again. On the ascope, the audio presentation is now visible. When the horizontal lines are widest apart and the sound is at maximum amplitude, the antenna is pointed exactly at the target. The operator declutches the azimuth orientation control, disengaging the antenna from the azimuth hand wheel, and sets the grid azimuth from the antenna to the orienting point on the azimuth counters. He then tightens the azimuth orientation control knob and loosens the lock nut. The antenna and the azimuth counter are now synchronized. Antenna orientation is completed. The next step is to orient the plotting board. The exact location of the antenna site must be clearly marked on the map. An azimuth reference line must be drawn from the antenna position. Set the range to zero by placing the map zero switch to the zero position. Manually rotate the range coupling. It is located between the radar control and the plotting board. Bring the range to zero. Place the map on the plotting board. Make sure the antenna site is directly over the indicator light and that the area of interest is in the center of the board. Secure the map firmly. Never fold the map into double thickness over the plotting board. It will obscure the light. Roll up any excess. If it can't be rolled up, cut it off. Turn the map zero switch from zero to the operate position. Rotate the range hand wheel so that the indicator light is placed near maximum range. Set the azimuth counter to the azimuth of the reference line. Bring the indicator light directly under the reference line using the plotting board arm control knob. Then lock it. To check the setting, run the range in and out carefully observing the path of the indicator light as it travels along the reference line. The map scale switch is set at the scale of the map being used. The map and the plotting board are ready for operation. The final step in orientation is placing the antenna coordinates into the radar. First, set the elevation at zero mils. Set the range at 18,000 meters. Disengage the X control knob. Disengage the Y control knob. Set the azimuth counter either to zero or to three 200 mils as the situation requires. To avoid surpassing the limit of the counters when using grid references, make the first digit five and carry the correction. Set 50850 on the X indicator and engage the control knob. Change the azimuth. Set it to either 1,600 or 4,800 mils as the situation requires. Using the grid reference data for the northern coordinate of the antenna, set the figure 5,900 on the Y indicator. Engage the Y control knob. Write the correction figures on the radar set control. All steps in orientation have been completed. The radar and its crew are ready for action. Now let's look in on a TIPSI 25 operating within an area of suspect enemy activity, assigned as a general area of surveillance for the radar. The enemy, being well behind his own lines and under cover of darkness, apparently sees no reason to be overly cautious. He is of course unaware that a radar is searching this very area. Inside the radar shelter, the operator has placed the radar in automatic search position. He monitors the loudspeaker and the ascope for the returns from the scanning beam and the strobing range gate. The radar is searching the general area but has not yet picked up the walking man. Now there, his presence has been detected. With the radar in the mode 2 operation, the operator controls the azimuth manually. He locates the target in the center of the beam. Then to mode 3, manual search to position the range gate on the target. This is a well trained operator. He knows from experience the sound from the loudspeaker is the characteristic signature of a walking man. To keep the target gated, he makes constant slight adjustments. There he goes into mode 4 for accurate tracking of the target. The radar beam changes to 36 mils and the scope shows an audio presentation. As he pinpoints the target, notice the horizontal lines on the scope. The ascope and the loudspeaker help the operator track this target. The sound gave him the characteristic signature of a walking man. Now the target information is reported in location and identity. A walking man. Here is another typical mission for ground surveillance radar. Observation of a critical road junction. The exact location of the crossroads is known. The operator has its azimuth, range and elevation. He must determine only the nature and movement of targets detected. There's a moving target. Listen to the sound. The operator recognizes that sound as clearly as if he were actually at the crossroad seeing a wheeled vehicle. The operator knows just by the audio return that it is a moving vehicle and even more particularly that it is a wheeled vehicle. And that now it has stopped. He is also aware when it proceeds again. Remember this is an audio signal developed from the RF return. It is this characteristic sound that enables target identification. Let's have one more example. A major road under radar surveillance. The radar is in mode two automatic range strobing along the road. Mode two operation gives the operator manual control of azimuth. But the range gate is in automatic strobing. Remember there will be no audio return from any moving target unless it is in the range gate. There's a moving target. Another target. That sound doesn't seem to be from either a moving man or a moving wheeled vehicle. The operator places the radar in mode five and determines what those targets are. Track vehicles. In this case armored personnel carriers. The operator tracks the vehicles along the highway. Note how the indicator light shows the operator the location and travel of the moving target. It is quite easy for the operator to follow the target in this instance simply by moving the indicator light along the highway as depicted on the map and listening to the sound. And radar the electronic eye of the artillery reports another enemy target. Many ground surveillance and target acquisition needs are fulfilled by the TIPSI-25 radar. Its capabilities and employment techniques are not limited to the few examples presented here. The ANTPS-25 is a transportable battlefield surveillance radar for detecting moving ground targets. Knowing its capabilities becoming expert in its operation may mean the difference between failure or success in battle.


Good morning, John. I love audiobooks. Like, I love them a lot and not in that like, oh well I don't have that much time to read anymore and so I mostly just listen to audiobooks because that's better than not reading it all kind of way. No, I love them on their own as a medium. I find them wonderful. I love book book reading as well. I love cascading into this story, into this physical object that has all these marks on a page that turn into this story in my mind. There's nothing in the world like that, but there's also nothing in the world like being told a story. That's the oldest thing there is. That and like maybe music, I think is like what made us humans. And maybe like music and stories at the same time is every song a story. Think about it and get back to me. There's been a fair amount of talk about whether listening to an audiobook counts as reading or if it's like cheating. These conversations to me seem to be based on two different things. One, like scientifically, psychologically, is it the same? No, like subjectively I can say that it's not the same.  I might be making some of those decisions differently so I think the story is in some ways slightly different when it's being read to me and it seems like retention is measurably better on average when read rather than when being read to. But that's on average and it's actually different from person to person. This to me doesn't seem like a judgment of better or worse. It seems like it's marginally different. Like not tremendously, but somewhat different. The second place that this conversation comes from though is I think from people who have a lot of pride in their identity as a reader or as a reader of a lot of books. Some people love reading lots of books and they see that as part of what makes them valuable and exceptional. I think those people are kind of just saying like part of why I'm proud of myself is that I read a lot of books and the fact that like somebody got through a lot of books in audio form isn't the same as the thing that I'm proud of. A lot of people push back against this as like exclusionary, but like all forms of exceptionality are exclusionary. We have a really hard time as humans figuring out why we matter and there are much worse ways to find pride than like the length of your book list. But I'm never gonna be one of those people who reads a lot of books in a year. I'm mildly dyslexic according to this staples.com reading test. I read slower than the average eighth grader but that doesn't mean that I don't love reading. I totally do and it doesn't mean that audiobooks are a replacement for books for me. I like audiobooks as a way to enjoy a story. To me, media is about like enjoying being a human and loving having a good story told to me by a good storyteller is probably something that I have in common with every single one of my human ancestors and that's pretty cool and it's part of why I pushed pretty hard for our new year of Life's Library to have an audiobook option. So now you can be a part of this community of readers all consuming the same stuff and connecting about it and when you sign up you can choose the audio version with digital perks or with physical perks and every time we start a new book you'll get a code emailed to you. You click on that code and into your Libro FM account will arrive the new book. I'm curating a month of this year's Life's Library. I chose a book that I have read both in book form and audio form so I know it's good both ways. We decided to do this with Libro.fm because they are just great. You don't have to be a paying member of Libro FM to get your book but you can be and if you are you get to choose which bookstore you would like to order your audiobooks from so you can support bookstores in your community and of course just like with regular books you get to keep your audiobook even if you cancel your Life's Library subscription. So join Life's Library there's a link in the description or you can just click right there. I had to put a video here because YouTube doesn't let us link to anything unless we also link to a video. I don't know why I find it annoying. John I'll see you on Tuesday.
