We need to think of this also as an inner product because we are you see if you look at it what is the discrete time Fourier transform really. Let us look back at the inverse discrete time Fourier transform to fix our ideas. So the inverse discrete time Fourier transform says that you can reconstruct xn from the discrete time Fourier transform in the following way and we have already given this an interpretation. These are like the coordinates with different directions you know different omegas are different directions so to speak or different omegas give you different axis and you see these are different basis vectors. I mean they are different basis vectors for different values of omega. Now let us get this idea clear what we are saying is that for different values of omega over any contiguous interval of 2 pi each omega gives you a different so called I mean you can call it a perpendicular direction I mean I do not know whether it is a correct thing to do but you can call it a perpendicular direction it is a different axis so you have as many like for example in the time domain every point every value of n gives you a gives you one degree of freedom. In fact if you look back at the way you constructed a sequence from its samples there was the idea of a basis there you said that xn is summation k going from minus to plus infinity xk delta n minus k and here xk were like the coordinates if you recall and these were like the orthogonal basis vectors. Now here of course this is exact different delta n minus k for different values of k are truly perpendicular in fact if you were to take a dot product of delta n minus k1 and delta n minus k2 I mean you have two sequences it would be 0 for k1 not equal to k2. So if the impulses are located if the impulse sequences have the non-zero one located at non-zero sample located at different points their dot product is automatically 0 that is obvious because the sample the non-zero sample do not overlap. So these are all perpendicular directions so to speak so any sequence can be constructed from all these infinite countably infinite perpendicular directions. Now you know if we go to finite dimensions we can recreate this situation to some extent but as I want you in the previous lecture one must not take literally the conclusions of finite dimension to infinite dimension. However we can get a good clue about what to expect in infinite dimensions when we look at finite dimensions.  So one pair is like this u1 cap and u2 cap I draw another pair of perpendicular vectors u3 cap and u4 cap it is very clear of course that u1 cap u2 cap as also u3 cap u4 cap form an orthonormal basis. What is an orthonormal basis? An orthonormal basis is a collection of vectors from that space which are mutually perpendicular take any two of them they are perpendicular and together these vectors span that space the word basis means they span that space span means you can construct any vector in that space as a linear combination of these. So of course it is very obvious that you can construct any vector in two dimensional space as either a linear combination of u1 cap and u2 cap or a linear combination of u3 cap and u4 cap that is very obvious. In fact let us to emphasize that point draw a vector and illustrate what I am saying in fact we will not draw one but two such vectors. So let us redraw this you have a u1 cap there you have a u2 cap here you have a u3 cap here and you have a u4 cap there and you have this vector I will draw a long one v1 and you have this vector v2 and of course it is always possible to write v1 cap as dot product of v1 cap with u1 times u1 plus dot product of v1 cap of v1 sorry not v1 cap with u2 times u2 you see this is the beauty of an orthonormal basis in orthonormal basis you can find the component of a vector along one of the orthonormal basis elements by taking the dot product of v1 with that basis element and this can be done for each of the basis elements. So when you have an orthonormal basis this is the bone the coordinates are easy to find when the basis is not orthonormal you know you can of course have a basis that is not orthonormal what I mean is you can have a collection of vectors for example in this collection u1 u2 u3 u4 you can take the pair u1 u3 u1 u3 also form a basis because you can express you can express v1 in terms of just u1 and u3 or you can express v1 in terms of u2 and u4 and you can do it by using the parallelogram law you can construct a parallelogram with sides parallel to u1 and u3 and they will give you a linear combination of u1 and u3 which gives you v1 so using the parallelogram law you can always express v1 in terms of u1 and u3 or u2 and u4 so u1 and u3 together form a basis but not an orthonormal basis similarly do u2 and u4 together. So the beauty of an orthonormal basis is that finding the coordinates is very easy you see if you take u1 and u3 it is a basis but not an orthonormal basis you can of course find the coordinates by using the parallelogram law but finding the coordinates is not a decoupled process that means I cannot find the coordinates of along u1 and along u3 independently I need to solve two equations for two coordinates as opposed to that when I have an orthonormal basis the job is very easy I simply take the dot product of the vector along each of these orthonormal basis elements and there I am the coordinate comes. Is that clear to everybody any doubts on this? So now we have done this for v1 we of course can do the same thing for v1 with the basis u3 and u4 so you know you can write v1 is also dot product of v1 with u3 times u3 cap plus dot product of v1 with u4 times u4 cap and of course if you like I can complete this by putting 1, 2 here so I can do this both for v1 and v2 please read this as v1 so there I have 4 I mean coordinates for v1 the coordinate with respect to u1, u2, u3 and u4 and similarly 4 coordinates for v2. Now let us write these 4 equations down what we are saying is v1 is of the form v11 u1 cap plus v12 u2 cap which is also v13 u3 cap plus v14 u4 cap where the dot product of v1 with uk is v1 k and similarly for v2 so v2 is v21 u1 cap plus v22 u2 cap which is also v23 u3 cap plus v24 u4 cap similarly for v2 k. Now the dot product is very easy to calculate because this is a perpendicular basis so the dot product of v1 with v2 in the simple 2 dimensional space is v11 v21 plus v12 v22 and it is also v13 v23 plus v14 v24 so that is what I am saying the dot product has nothing to do with which basis you use it is independent of the basis the dot product or the inner product is independent of basis and that is not very difficult to see you can use if you use orthonormal basis then calculation of the dot product is easy you just take products of corresponding coordinates and add but the inner product or the dot product itself does not depend on which basis you choose and that is not difficult to see at all I mean you know if you go back to the drawing a couple of slides ago if you were to take the dot product of v1 and v2 inherently it has nothing to do with what basis you have used to represent v1 and v2 the dot product is the property of the 2 vectors not a property of its representation. However given a representation one can of course calculate the dot product with convenience and ease now this is exactly what that relationship is saying and now let me put it back before you with this renewed understanding so what we are saying in this relationship look at this relationship once again look at this relationship once again we are saying the dot product of the sequences x1 and x2 is independent of the representation of those vectors you could think of the vectors represented in their natural domain or you could think of the vectors represented in the frequency domain the dot product is unchanged and of course in the frequency domain the dot product is defined in this way you need to multiply corresponding points on the frequency axis and integrate over all these points instead of add because the frequency variable is continuous so it is a very elegant and simple interpretation once you think about it.


Good morning cyber traders. Welcome back on this beautiful Thursday at 712. Good to see you. Ed Craig, good to see you. John, everybody. Look at that. Fran, Emily, George, Tom, good to good. Mario, Kathleen, Don. All right, lead everyone. Let's get ready to go enjoy a beautiful day here in New York. Nice and comfortable, not too hot. Hopefully it's nice in your neck of the woods. Hope you guys are enjoying summer. All right. Anyway, I thought we were going to cut out early yesterday, but it looks like the Hoya did unbelievable yesterday for us. Everyone killed it on that Hoya trade, and it's still on a big move.  I'm going to talk a little bit about it. First of all, a couple of people did really, really well on that trade. I mean, I didn't know where to start, but tons of people did great. I mean, George G crushed it on that. I think he made $5 total over it on yesterday. Oh my God, let's give him a round of applause. There's a big, big win right there. Andrea did pretty well on it. I mean, about 360. I know Josh did great on it. I did great on it. Everybody did great on that trade. Even Nancy, let me tell you, Nancy made $0.47 on it. Let me tell you one guys, let me tell you, the stock went from $31 to $37. Great traders never buy at the bottom and never sell at the top. We always buy in between because you could trade a stock like, I don't know, I'm just going to pick something out. I had GE, right? And oh, but it's GE, good brand name stock, whatever it is. What did it do all day? I mean, buy this to bomb sell top, great traders always buying in between and that's what matters. So, as long as you've got a piece of it, that's all that matters because there's some people out there sitting there watching, still analyzing, still trying to figure out what's going on.  So, congratulations everyone. That was really the big winner that I really wanted to talk about. There were a couple of the ones that did pretty well. The BI, the BIOC did pretty well. Let's bring some of up. That one had a really beautiful pop in the middle of the day. Hoyer was a little bit on the faster side, but that one was pretty good. OPK was another one that we traded yesterday.  I actually still like this one going into this morning too, the OPK. I'm going to throw it back on the watch list, just like the Hoyer trade. I'm going to throw it back on there fast. Had a nice little pop in the middle of the day, a little bit more on the expensive side. That was another one and MYOS. We traded that so many times. That one was great in the pre-market. That one just ran from like a buck 60 to 240. A lot of 30, 50, 100% winners yesterday, as usual. But once again, that isn't the past. We're going to throw that in the archives. Now we're going to focus on what's going on this morning. Like I said, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are hump days. Those are the days that you have to really focus on. So, today is Thursday. Fridays have been pretty good for us, but we saw how things work out on Mondays. I know for all you traders, I know we have a lot of new people that had just joined us just recently and doing the trial and see how different it is when you come from a free webinar that we do where I just spark interest. Some of you watching me on YouTube or Facebook and watching these morning videos and like, well, how do you get a piece of these? Listen, you know what? We had Hoyer on our position yesterday. And when I was talking about yesterday, I feel like DTS would have been great, you know, the VXX, the UVXYs. But sure enough, that really wasn't it. It was all about a total new list of stocks that come out. So that's why you have to be in the room. Things always change. You know what I mean? I didn't have the BIOC. That showed up in the middle of the day, that showed up in the middle of the day. But Hoyer, like I said, the list I'm going to give you right now, guys, just remember, not all of them are going to move. There's always a new list that will show up. So we do pretty well in the pre-market. And then obviously there's always new and whatever we had, sometimes they work out, sometimes they don't. There's always a new list that comes out. So that's why you got to be in the room and hope you guys are enjoying it. So anyway, let's go through some of the things that are moving. Gene is saying he made there's an iceberg order in CNTF right there. And he said it's a $50,000 chair iceberg order. I don't know where you're seeing that. I mean, all the way up here, I see $25,000. I don't know what price you're seeing that right now. Maybe he left. I don't know where you saw that amount. If I go with that a little bit later. At $390,000. Yeah, he's not there anymore. He must have pulled his order. But that one I do have on my watch list. Okay? That one I do have on my watch list. I'm going to keep an eye on that one also. All right. Another one that I want to keep an eye on is the, we got the OPK. We're going to throw that back on the watch list because that had a really nice push. The CNTF we have on there, the Hoya. We're going to throw that back on the watch list. Hoya took a big, big hit, made a little bit of a comeback. IQ basically followed side by side with it. Okay. Remember, I was a big fan of IQ.  So you have to be careful on those. IZEA was another one that came in on my watch list. This stock just took a huge gap up and it came back down a lot, which you could see right there. Listen, if it starts building some support, I might consider it, but 1.8 million shares are already traded. That is a lot right there. So, but she did make a big, big, big reversal so far, basically testing major resistance levels right around here. And that's probably why it backed off. But let's see how it goes. A lot of iceberg orders. Look at this, 6,800, you know, a couple of hundreds here and there. So iceberg orders tell you where the things are going. That's why you need to have that matrix there on the right.  So if you have a trade station account, I'm going to be doing an event exclusively on the matrix. All right? So we're going to talk a little bit about that. That's at 4.30 and we have open house today for everyone all over the internet at 12 o'clock. Remember, it's our typical Thursday. So we got that one, FPI. I'm going to go back to the watch list. FPI is another one. Stock got destroyed.   You know, it was always a bottom fishing type of guy. Stock was at 9. It wasn't down humongous, but it is coming back a little bit. So, you know, and it did it in the after hours too. You could see it how it dropped only down to 5.25 and came back to always 6.50. I do like that one also and to keep an eye on that one. And then the BIOC, this is pretty great. So this stock, you could see whatever goes up must come down. Unfortunately, you can't short it. It's not on my short list, but you could see how you had such a big winner for a stock that goes from 4 to 8. And then you're wondering why is it down. Remember, this is day trading, not swing trading. Grant says, busy day for me today. Yes, it is a very, very busy day. Thursdays and Fridays are always my busiest day. But what it is is, listen, great traders never stop teaching and I love doing it. I got a passion to it. I hate seeing people lose money. And I rather you know the truth because it's not for everyone. It is for everyone, but unfortunately, it's not. And that's okay. So that's why I'd rather go out there and educate everyone a little bit more if this is for them or not. But I'm always looking to recruit traders to be part of the team. But once again, we're always going to have to talk about it and make sure that it's right for you because you're not right for the team. We can't have you in here because you could lose a lot of money doing it and you got to be really careful. So we got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, six, seven stocks. I'm not including the BIOC onto that list. I just want to talk about that short. But we got seven stocks on this list. Now remember, everyone, not every stock is going to make a big move. Oh, the NTRRA. Yeah, I didn't throw that one on there. NTRRA, yeah. That was the other one. You know, it's funny, but she tanked. She went up and she tanked all of a sudden. This has been a little bit more of an interesting swing trade more than anything can. I know some of us who saw it in the pre-market, but when we saw it take off, now look at it, back to right all. Very, very scary, fast-moving stock. I'll be careful about that. And then don't forget the BJs, guys. BJs made a little bit of a comeback. BJs doing pretty well. So hopefully, we're all doing pretty good on that swing trade. You can see it's gapped up pretty nicely so far. That one I also got to mention to our BJs trade is one of my new IPO favorites, and I got that on a swing trade. So doing pretty well on that one. Had a little nasty shake, not too long ago, but came back pretty nicely. I still think it's positive. All right. So I'm going to throw that back on the watch list, too, BJs. So if everyone here, listen, remember, busy day. We got Open House on 12 o'clock Eastern, and then we got Trade Station on Trade Station at 4.30. And then we got all day to make money to do it. All right. And then next week, we start the new cycle of the courses. So once again, the more you learn, the faster you learn, the faster you learn, the more money you're going to make, and that's what it's all about. All right, guys. Listen, good luck today. I'll see you back at 12 o'clock for the Open House. All right. And then we got the 2.30 meeting right after that going into the close. Good luck, everyone. Happy trading.


What's good Josh boros back out again with another video. So I'm gonna check out WWE best-selling compilation, man I love me some great sales great selling can make a move look that much better and sometimes Just quite a layer. So we're gonna check out some of these moments by Russell legends appreciate all the love and support Guys have shown on the channel Let's get right into this This must be part RVD so the hell out of that You know dog Ziggler's good at that, too. Rock Lesnar is good at it, too Great moment. Oh my god Love it RVD good at the ceiling as well I Already or insult the hell out of it Well, we got to give Brock his respect that Brock is really good at selling HBK is good at selling too.  Oh, I didn't really got to sell too much on the suplexes either Man, this is bringing me back to some great matches. Oh my god, oh Ziggler can't catch a break Nope, love to run in me. Oh Bro Ziggler was in a lot of these clips man Ziggler stayed Getting Speared and hit but he stayed selling like a champion.  Go ahead give this a like I'm gonna have to check out the other video I he didn't number him So there is a part one I'm at the find the other part because I love me some great wrestling sales man Did Dolph Ziggler? Even though, you know He's not where a lot of people wanted him to be in WWE in his career The dude can make you look like a million dollars same way with With ricochet man do this fantastic and Brock Brock if he wants to work with you He's gonna make you look good.  Let me know what's who well Who was your favorite seller in this particular compilation if you want me to check out some more cuz I believe he does have more I definitely will let me know down below I'll check out some more of these wrestling sale compilations cuz I just love it brings me back down memory lane to see some of these Classic moments and people just selling like they just died, you know But appreciate all of us what road to 150 K and I and still you're undisputed You too wrestling champ of the world in your intercuts. We're heavyweight champ. Appreciate y'all kicking me


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with our last filler to unlock NT football. That's coming up in a separate video a little bit later on. Three different dice rolls happening right here. First of all, we're going to give away 10 spots within the pack break itself. Second dice roll will be the break. Third dice roll will be given away those three NT random number block spots. So big thanks to this group right here for making it happen. Appreciate all of you. Now almost half of you are going to get extra spots. We'll buy one, get one opportunity. Let's roll it. Let's randomize it. One and a four, five times top ten after five extra spots. One, two, three, four and five. Boom. Brandon, an extra spot. So far so good. Brandon, Sean, Steven, Chad, Ivan, Steven, Flatt, Jason, Sean, Matic, Chad and Kevin. Extra spots going your way after five. It's a good start. So we'll put little rooftops next to your name so you know those are your winning spots and you can distinguish them from your, sorry Kevin, you can distinguish them from your full spots. Now let's do the break itself. I've got the teams in here, got the list right there. All the names. We'll randomize it two and a six, eight times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven and eight. After eight, there's this group here. Two and a six, eight times for the teams, two, three, all right. So there is the first half of the list. No trades in these little filler breaks. And here's the second half of the list right there. Let's get all the teams on the screen. Let's alphabetize by team, print and rip. Now this is a hobby pack. I don't know if it has the auto been pulled out of here. This could still be some nice parallel. So let's see what we have in store for the break itself. We'll get some cracked ice in here, that could be kind of cool. It's going to be Chris Godwin, 72 out of 99 for the Buccaneers. Chris Godwin going up Brandon and the Bucs. Now here's the big moment though. Who's going to win those giant random number block spots? They were $500 a spot. So here's our third and final dice roll. It's gathered everybody's names one through 32. New dice, new list. And let's roll it and randomize it one and a four, five times, top three after five. Good luck. One, two, three, four, and five, fifth and final time. So a lot of sad faces here after five. Saddest face will be spot four, the very close but no cigar spot. Steven Flatt, sorry man. But four through 32, thanks for giving it a shot. Top three, very happy times for you. You're in the next break. That's going to be Jose, Sean Maddock with the extra spot you won, and Kevin, those extra spots coming in handy for the two out of the three spots after five. There you go, gang. I'm Joe for Jaspy's CaseWrakes.com. We'll see you in the next video. Bye-bye.


In how old are stars, we found that the sun will burn hydrogen for 10 billion years. But because the sun is a field star, we could not determine how long ago the hydrogen burning started. In how old is the Earth-Moon system, we found that the oldest solid Earth and Moon material was 4.3 billion years old. But we could not determine the age of the Earth from its original start because the giant impact turned the mantle to magma. In this chapter, we'll cover the age of the solar system itself, which will give us both the age of the sun and the age of the Earth. To get a handle on the age of the solar system, we'll need to review planetary formation theory. Any such theory would need to explain our solar system as we see it today. We'll start with a look at some of the key characteristics of our system. We have the sun at the center and four relatively small rocky planets in the inner solar system and four much larger gaseous planets in the outer solar system. They are all in nearly circular orbits and they are all in the same orbital plane. None of the planets are orbiting outside the plane like some comet's asteroids and dwarf planets do. Our theory of planetary formation will need to explain these facts.


What's going on everyone Sam here with late in sports cards We were up in two boxes of 2022 at leaf autograph football jerseys for Noelle B. Good luck here. Noelle See what we got man.  We got a Chris Olave sign Jersey to start there you go Noelle And that is Chris Olave One back time one back to the signatures giant sig on that Congrats pointing the camera way up fix that Jersey number one Chris. Oh Olave Chris Olave Chris Olave Chris Olive Bro, it's just that time at night. Everything's funny and I Don't even know if we're in the real world anymore. I think I've broken The fourth wall in the last in the last five days, I think I've been breaking for over 60 hours In the last five days, dude, I'm like losing sanity We've got wow Yeah, two Rookies this time this time it is Drake London. Nice man. Oh, that's you have see you see. Yeah Yeah, USC Trojans Jersey that's inscribed number 15 Flip it over to the Yeah, they have a couple some of the rookies still have their college stuff, but um That's awesome man. Wow That is sick. Yeah, I am in the metaverse Caleb honestly, dude I'm pulling the Caleb runner hours right now 60 hours and five days Caleb runner hours That'll do it for your break there. No, well, congrats on the jerseys. We'll get them right out to you, buddy


Fabry disease is an inherited genetic disorder caused by mutations in the alpha-galactosidase A gene. This results in decreased levels of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A, leading to the accumulation of certain fatty substances called globotryosilceramide, GB3, and lyso-GB3 in the kidneys. These fatty substances build up in the kidneys, causing damage to the cells and ultimately resulting in kidney failure. enzyme replacement therapy and pharmacological chaperones are currently used as treatments for Fabry disease. Recent research suggests that the enzyme can also be taken up by specific proteins in the kidney, such as megalin and sordilin, which helps clear GB3 and lyso-GB3 from the kidneys. This process can help reduce the amount of damage done to the kidneys and improve their function. Additionally, Fabry patients have been found to be more susceptible to complications during the COVID-19 pandemic, including acute kidney injury and requiring renal replacement therapy.

Brema Kamoko Bukam Banku explain why he bleached his skin, before and after pictures. Not long ago, Ghanaian boxer, Brema Kamoko aka Bukam Banku was proud he was bleaching his skin. He referred to himself as Ganas Michael Jackson and even insulted people who spoke about his skin color change. Well, Bukam Banku is singing a different song now. According to the boxer who just suffered a humiliating defeat to Basti Samir, he has regretted ever bleaching his skin. At the peak of his bleaching season, Banku was once reported as saying, I am bleaching myself for German people to know that German PEOPLE and Bukam Banku are one. So if you see me now, you will observe that I am from Germany. I want Ghanians to know that I am a German now, he said. Four months down the line, the boxer stopped bleaching and beseeched anybody trying to imitate his actions to stop. Speaking to Bola Ray on Star Chat on Wednesday October 25, Bukam Banku has confessed he has regretted ever bleaching. According to him, he wanted to look like Michael Jackson or Daddy Lumba. I stopped bleaching long ago. You know Daddy Lumba and Michael Jackson were looking nice and I admired them so I also started bleaching and people started praising me. They called me Banku Fresh and the likes and I was happy but after I stopped bleaching the name changed to Banku Black, Banku Dirty Dot. I now fear Ghanians because the same people who will praise you are the same people who will turn around and insult you. I want to tell Ghanians that bleaching is not good even if you give me $10,000.000. I won't bleach, Bukam told Bola Ray.


Hello to all our mortally challenged friends, and welcome to this instructional video, courtesy of the UAC, in association with Disney. I'm Mickey Mouse, and I'll be providing you with all the information you need for dealing with Doomguy. On the occasion that your parts cross, small is, you can't. The doomslayer commonly engages in two modes of behavior, rip and tear, both of which he does with his bare hands, if the doomslayer, who, remember, does not exist, is particularly effusive, overstopping this extra-dimensional resettlement plan, he may also hack. That's right, Doomguy might hack your hands, feet, body and scar of the rest of you. Weird the UAC and Disney would hate to see parts of the mortally challenged, hacked off, or otherwise maimed, mauled, annihilated, decimated, or destroyed. Which is why we have one piece of advice for you. If you see the doomslayer, thank you for using the UAC and Disney Plus for all your extra-dimensional needs.  Haha!


Welcome to Church of the Chair where we're all going to leave behind an epic TBR when we die. I'm your host E and today we're doing a discussion video. This video, other than the intro, is going to be like the other discussion videos I've been doing. A throwback to how I used to do the videos with little to no edits whatsoever. Today I want to talk about a handful of books, there's five of them, that I enjoyed really loved that no one ever talks about. And the reason I'm doing that is because, as I said in my review yesterday, Steven Markley's The Deluge, while I absolutely love this book and it is now in my top, probably my top 10, I keep wanting to say top 20 but I believe it's going to boot out a specific book. If you want to know what that is, let me know down there in the comments. But yeah, this one, I don't think too many of my viewers, friends, fans are going to be interested in this one. But I want to take a moment and talk about books that I have loved that are either polarizing or that no one has ever heard of. But before we get started, I need your help picking out the next book I'm going to be reading for time for a tome and I have three options. Don't vote down there in the comments section, go into the description of the video and click on the link to go vote in the poll for what you want me to read next. The next long book I'm going to be reading and your choices are A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth, which is 1400 pages, absolutely nuts. Next one is A Horror Novel by Mediana Enriquez called Our Share of Night. I've read a considerable amount of this already, but I keep putting it down and I have been ever since I got the ARC from the publisher and that was over a year ago, so I'm going to have to restart it. But if you guys want to see this one, vote for that one. And the last one is one that I just picked off the shelf because it was over 600 pages and it looked interesting to me and that is Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Dewar. I believe that's how you pronounce his name. So yeah, go click on that link. You can do it now and come back to the video or you can do it after the video is done, but please go vote in what you would like to see me review next. The first book on books that I love, that you probably haven't heard of is Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith. This is a book about a grasshopper apocalypse where people are turned into giant, no, no, sorry, they're not turned into the giant grasshoppers invade the world. It's not an alien thing. In fact, I don't remember the catalyst, but I do remember there being some kind of grasshoppers or locusts. I can't remember which one it is. I think it's a misnomer. I don't think they're called grasshoppers. Maybe they're praying mantis anyways, but in this one, it is a love story also that involves two young men and a girl, and the young man is trying to decide whether or not he's more interested in his friend or his current girlfriend. And this is the only YA novel I've ever enjoyed with a love triangle in it. It also has my esteemed award. That's a joke for the best YA novel I've ever read. Now, mind you, I don't read a whole lot of YA, but this one has stuck with me. It is hilarious. It is brutal and gory. So if you're a horror fan, definitely check it out. But it's one of the ones that always gets overlooked. Most people, when they think of Andrew Smith, if you've read Andrew Smith, is a winger or a standby, stand something, stand in. I can't remember what the sequel is called. And while I love those books, this one is very special to me.  My friend Josh sent me this one and it is Hors for Gloria. I picked this one second, so hopefully this discussion video doesn't get demonetized. But yeah, it's wild. And this is one of the inspirations I had to write a certain book of mine. So it has stayed with me ever since I finished it. It is a very slim novel. I believe it's under 200 pages. Yeah, it's 138 pages and it is about prostitutes and the various johns that they have and then one specific john that ends up with all of them or, you know, talking to them. It has some very wild scenes. Chad Lutzky, if you're watching this, I think you would get a kick out of this book. It has very dark moments. It has funny moments. There is no dialogue. There is dialogue, but it's more like a Cormac McCarthy where he doesn't use quotation marks. He uses an M dash. Sometimes he doesn't even use that. Like I said, it's very experimental and you're not going to find any of the norms that you would find in, you know, regular commercial fiction. But yeah, I enjoyed every single page of it. It's a wild ride. If you're into, if you're into experimental stuff, there's nothing surreal or let's see here. There's no plot whatsoever. It's just a slice of life. It's very short and I highly, highly recommend it. Josh, if you watch this, thank you so much for sending it to me. I will be jumping into all the other Voltman books that you sent. Volman, I keep wanting to say Voltman, but it's Volman. William T. Volman. Next up, we have a book that I have, I have fanboyed all over this channel in the past about and still not enough people have read it for my liking. I believe my friend Wayne Fenlon said, said thank you for bringing up the book because he loved it too. It might have been someone else. So I apologize, Wayne, if it wasn't you. But Palisades Park by Alan Bernert. Brenert, Brenert. Yeah, because it's B.R. Anyways, this one is about the real life Palisades Park. It's a boardwalk amusement park out by the ocean. And it is also a family saga. It is a fictional retelling of that of the family. But it is, oh, man, it is so good. It automatically made me an Alan Brenert fan. Some words, man. They just end up getting on. They just don't want to come out. Anyways, this one, it holds a very special place in my heart. I'm a huge fan of anything that has amusement parks, theme parks, carnivals, circuses, anything like that. And I think I've read all the ones out there, except for one that I just got from the thrift store. I think it's the circus of the land and the air, something like that. But if you have any recommendations for circus, carnival, amusement park, theme park, I've even read multiple YA books or tried them. The most recent one was Hyde by Kristen, someone. I didn't care too much for that one, but I've at least tried them all. But if you want to bring it, I've read the family, the Pilo family circus, geek love, all the big ones of Water for Elephants, which I absolutely adored. So it was I'm kind of biased here because it has my favorite location setting. But also the family drama and the family saga of it, too. I really, really loved. It's not it's not so far toward John Irving. But it does have that down to earth, the writing and beautiful sides that I just I just absolutely fell in love with it. The next one is a book that I point to anyone who has depression, anxiety, PTSD, even postpartum depression, any of those things. If you want a striking visual representation of depression and not really postpartum, but maybe I will give you a trigger warning if you're someone who's lost a child and that is triggering for you. That topic is then definitely stay away from this one. But it's Eleanor by Jason Gurley. It's very much in the tone and framing of like a Neil Gaiman book. It's about a young girl looking for her sister and maybe the afterworld, maybe something different. It's after a car crash and it's almost a trip through purgatory or limbo or however you will. But they come across they come across some very unique landscapes. At one point in time, there's a world with dinosaurs and meteors falling down. There's a world that is solid pitch black. It's it's amazing. And if you read deeply and catch all of the not comparisons, but the the allegory and the, you know, those things, the metaphor, the simile for depression and loss and grief is absolutely fantastic book that I don't hear enough people talk about. This one is one of those unique stories where the author published this as an independent book published by himself, and then he got picked up by Crown Publishing and the book was rewritten, reedited, all that good stuff. And this is the finalized version of it. In fact, Jason Gurley, at one point in time over on Instagram, if you sent him the book, he would draw pictures on the inside cover on the inside board, and I thought that was really cool. I don't know if he's still doing it, but he did it quite a bit. I don't even know if he's come out with anything since, but I would definitely read anything. In fact, once I get done with this video, I'm going to go check, see if he's published anything else. But yeah, if you haven't read Eleanor by Jason Gurley, fix that very quickly. And finally, this is a book that has been up and down my top 20 list. Sometimes it's in the top 10. Sometimes it's in the top five. It's always in the top 20. There is I've never read anything like this book, and that is The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson.   And it's usually blocked out in the text like there will be a black bar over it. So only only says it once or twice. But the story is about a man who is a very attractive individual and he ends up while he's drinking and driving. He spills his whiskey all down the front of him.  So he has no reproductive organs whatsoever. And he ends up meeting a sculptor and they end up falling in love. And the story is four different stories told by the sculptor to the man. They're love stories. They got Viking, Japanese lore, all different kinds of wonderful, wonderful sequences that kind of. And then there's the framing mechanic of the main story. But each one of the stories ties into the main story as well. It is beautiful. Every single bit of it is fascinating. And I really wish more people would have read it. I know it is it is either one awards or it was very popular one point in time. It's had several printings, but I've never actually met anyone who's read it. So if you have read any of these books, I would love to talk to you more in depth, either down there in the comments or over on the discord. Either way, I would especially love to talk to people about the gargoyle and Eleanor, because those two books really spoke to me and I don't get a chance to talk about those books with people. They are also books that stuck with me so much. I mean, it's been it's been a decade since I read the gargoyle. I believe. Let me let me check. As I read it about the time it first came out and it was published in the what a day. Where is the year that it was published? Huh. Oh, 2008. So, yes, it it was around let's see here. It was before it was long. It was long after that, I would say. I probably read it around 2012. 2011 2012, something like that. But anyways, if you have read any of these books, let me know down there in the comments. But until next time, I'll hail the chair.


I think in all times, there are opportunities. My mentor, Joel South, used to say that cream will always rise to the top at any time. So it could be 2008, where the world was our last kind of recession. It could be the rise of probably the full-on bull run was sometime between 2017 and 2021. People made money there, and the real challenge for everybody here is like, are you adaptable enough? Are you a learning machine? So that in 2023, you don't just rely on your old tricks. I like Buffett said, what made him money in 1979 didn't make him money in 1980. What made him money in 1980 didn't make him money in 1981. He had to become a learning machine. And so I think that's why I like to read a lot. Come to events like this. Keep your ear to the pavement. You'll hear things from people. Some of my best ideas have really come from events like this.


France is in riots right now.  I'm hoping that you're paying attention to this because just as of late, macaroni, I don't want to call it a macaroni, but macaroni has passed a law that makes it illegal for any citizen to film and record law enforcement in France. And so you've seen in Western media people talking about these are COVID rights. These aren't COVID rights. These are rights for fundamental human rights against the law for you and I to film law enforcement in France.  That is insane. Think about that for a moment. What does this allow? This allows for the worst form of corruption. This allows for the worst form of censorship. This allows pretty much the state government to do what they want without any repercussions. Now, there's one maxim in history. And that maximum history is if we look at every empire and if we look at every nation, no matter when and where, how that particular governing body has turned their backs on the very citizens they proclaim to protect. Remember, the government are human beings. We have biases. We have prejudice. We have evolutionist psychology that we have to look at. And it's always, I find it funny when people want more government as opposed to less. How does more bureaucrats fix anything? How does more control fix anything? It doesn't. When these people talk about more government, you have two camps of people. You have one camp of people which benefit from this action. I always say, look at the incentive and I'll show you the outcome. So you have one group of people who want more government and I would say why? Well, they're either mega corporation, they're politicians. They have 99.99% of time. They have a financial benefit from having a greater government, a bigger government, more bureaucracians, more regulations, more policy, more censorship because they benefit monetarily in some way. Then we have a second group of people.  They haven't. They're over here.  Let's go socialism.  No, no, no.   Let's not talk about the shit happening in Africa, no, no, no, no, no, or even Iran, like, where's the feminists for Iran over here? Where's the feminists from Saudi Arabia?   But that group, I understand. I understand how easily they're swayed and manipulated. They're just dumb, just plain and simple. There's no other way to look at it.  The first group is the nefarious group. Their first group is intelligent, highly intelligent, playing a high-level Macavelian game. And I find it interesting where we now have a third group of people. We have people who understand what they're doing. They're the puppet masters, controlling everything.  Then we have the third group of people, I call it the bell curve, the general populace, which at the end of the day, if you look at the general populace, they're quiet. And if we go out and we knock on the door, or we knock on every door, you know, I'm here in my neighborhood, if I knock on every single door, and let's say I knock on 100 doors, out of 100, I guarantee you 90% of people want to be left alone. They want less taxes. They want more freedoms. And they just want to live their life. That's a general populace. They're not reading, they're not reading on a day-to-day basis what's happening with politics. They're not in like, you know, any of these champagne socialist circles, they just want to be left alone. And so what's happening in France today is draconian by all standards. And don't get it twisted for a second that this ain't possible here, whether it's Canada, US, or other nations. There's a saying, once Penn Door's box opens, ideas spread. And when governments are over here like, oh, that's interesting, you know, we've realized a freedom of speech, because this is a freedom of speech. It is speech to me is any form of communication, whether that is digital communication, whether that is video communication, photography communication, cryptography communication, it is using a medium to communicate from one individual to another. And now in France, they're made it illegal, a draconian measure for having checks and balances against the government. Because what is the government? Government is us voting in people.  And people don't really know what's going on. As I mentioned in the bell curve, they just don't know. It's a populist game. Hey, I like this guy because he looks like me. And he says few talking points. Yay, I'm going to vote for this whoever this person is. And that's how politics is. Politics has never been about policy. Politics have never been about how this MP, or how this Senator, or how this President or Prime Minister is going to really change. No, it's always been about the base root emotional, emotional response to human beings. Human beings are very predictable when it comes to the emotional, when it comes to the emotional reflection they have with their candidates. It's never been about logic ever. And this always state go read René Rajard, go read Carl Jung, go read any basic human psychology, understand evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology with tribalism mix. You'll realize, well, we're not logical. We're very predictable when it comes to how we behave emotionally. But what I want, I want to get back to France. And it's really important that you pay attention to this, because this can spill over to where you live. And so luckily enough, France is fucking, it's getting lit.  The more, the more we allow our governments to grow vis-a-vis more bureaucrats, vis-a-vis more regulation, vis-a-vis more amendments, the greater, the greater freedoms you lose, the greater, the greater censorship it becomes. And it really does eventually become, as George Orwell said in 1984, where we have to be careful of what we say. We have to be careful of what we do. We have to be careful of who we hang around with, because Big Brother is always watching. And it's not like Big Brother is always watching in his nefarious 1984 type of method. We've literally allowed, through our own consensus, for them to do this. And so I'm going to be paying attention to what's happening with the feedback in France. I'm very interested to see how Mr. Macaroni responds to this. And I really do hope people in North America start realizing, even in Europe, whether it's Germany, whether it's neighboring England, and England's a little bit different. They had the Brexit and people were fed up with there's a globalization with European Union. And don't let me start with the European Union.  Now the European Union as a union, I want to say is the worst. I would say how they approached it is very mafia-like. And in that aspect is the absolutely worst.  I was in Italy three years ago for my honeymoon. And one of the things I like to do when I travel is I like to talk to small business owners everywhere I go to gauge the real economy. Not what you see on TV, but the real economy.  The European Union destroyed Italy, destroyed the lira, destroyed the dollar. This is happening currently in Croatia as well.  So basically get this. So the European Union started dictating that in Southern Italy, they couldn't use wood stoves because it's not carbon friendly. Yeah, think about that.  We're using wood stoves. We've been using wood stoves for the last thousand years to make pizza, bread, etc. You're not telling me I can't use a stove because of environment?    And now it's spilling over into worse things.   No, you can't film us.  They're unmarked and we're gonna come beat up our own citizens. Think about it, they're beating up their own citizens in their country. That's insanity. This is why I'm always kind of optimistic with Americans in their constitution. It is your fundamental right to protect yourself and I go beyond the constitution. It's a God given sovereign right of every human being to protect themselves and their family. We can revert back to tribalism before nation states were ever created and we can look at how the animal kingdom behaves. If we look at chimpanzees, chimpanzees have weapons. They use rocks, they use sticks and better don't get it twisted. If you and I as a neighboring chimp tribe goes into the next chimp tribe, shit's going to hit the fan. Why are we territorial? Well, we need to protect our resources. We need to protect our women. We need to protect our food and so it is a sovereign right of every living sentient being on this planet to have the ability to protect one's own family, period. And so even if you take this constitutional right away in America, the actual zeitgeist of people having people first having the physical access to weapons and second of all having the zeitgeist of a, um, this is my God given right makes me quite optimistic and happy for that. Other nations kind of have that Canada, not so much. We're kind of whatever, but I still think there's a small amount of people in Canada that will fight to the very end for their, for their freedoms. And we have that in our history too of World War One, World War Two, you know, you have strong minded people here, but please keep an eye on what's happening in France. Like this is no joke guys, really, really no joke. And, uh, you know, my heart goes out to the people in France fighting this. I wish them all the best when it comes to this. And, um, like I said, guys, throughout history, I'll leave you with this throughout history. The governments have always, always turned on their people, always.


Hey guys, welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food, and I am here today with a Trader Joe's haul. I spent $112 in some change, so I will jump right in. Forgive my voice, I have a cold or some allergies or something that I am fighting right now. So back over here, I got my cruciferous crunch. Really like this, I like to stir fry it with usually some bacon and some olive oil, and it has kale, brussel sprouts, broccoli, green cabbage, and red cabbage, and it is very good. I also got this everyday butter lettuce salad kit. This is new to me, I haven't seen it. I haven't been to Trader Joe's in, I can't even tell you the last time, but I have never seen this before. Butter lettuce, Parmesan cheese, croissant croutons, and ranch minigrette, so that sounded good. These shaved brussel sprouts are a staple for me, so I grabbed those. Sometimes I mix them with this crunch mix and just kind of make a larger portion size. I grabbed this tube of tomato paste because sometimes you just don't want to open up a whole can of tomato paste, and this is so much more convenient than those cans. Grab some of my favorite butter waffle cookies. Last time I was there, they were completely out. So I was excited to see them back. I also grabbed some of this shredded cabbage. You get red cabbage, green cabbage, and orange carrots. And I usually use this in stir fries. And then I also grabbed some baby broccoli. I love to have it. Normally what I'll do is chop up this baby broccoli and add it to this chicken chow mein, which I love, it bulks up a little bit. And my husband and I both really like it a lot. My favorite chicken fried rice, I love this stuff. It comes with dark chicken. And it also comes with peas, which I do not like at all. But what I do is I take those peas out in the frozen state and I stir fry it up and it is absolutely delicious. This garlicky pasta was a new item at Trader Joe's. Unfortunately, when I got home, I realized that it's open. So I am going to take this back to Trader Joe's. I don't know how I did not see that, but the whole thing is open. But Italian pasta and a creamy mommy garlic sauce and it sounds really good. This is a new item. My husband and I like to try stuff like this. Cheesecake inspired truffles. I think this was like $4.99. Flip it over on the back and you can see the different cheesecake fillings. Chocolate with salted caramel, lemon curd flavored, raspberry flavored and chocolate with vanilla flavored cheesecake and it sounds good. Cute little treat for us to try out. I grabbed this crispy rice bar. These crispy rice bars, you get three in a little package. This is a perfect little treat, 210 calories. I really like it a lot.  He likes these. And then this is something that I have bought before. We both like it a lot. Quick skillet meal. What is it? You get different types of cheeses and it's in a creamy tomato based sauce and it's very tasty. These soup dumplings are staple for us. I got pork and chicken and I got a box for each of us, my husband and I. And then I grabbed him this organic lemonade. He likes lemonade. Trying out this sweet Italian sausage. I don't think this is new. I've just never paid attention to it before but I'm trying to eat less beef and less pork. So I thought this would be, it sounds good and it sounded like a good substitute. These mini croissants are a frequent purchase for me. Pretty much every time I go there I get these croissants, they are so good. You can just grab what you need and make them for a meal. I do let mine proof first even though it says you can bake it from freezer to oven. I find that they rise and get a lot bigger when I let them rise overnight or for like eight hours during the day. I have been wanting to try these chocolate chunk cookies during the little bakery section. Now these are sea salt. I'm not a huge sea salt and dessert person. I see some big flakes on there. I'm gonna try to knock them off but they sounded good and I've been wanting to try them. So I decided to give them a try. These are a repeat purchase for me. These tea tree oil cleansing pads. Of course I do use them on my face but I also use them just to kind of like wipe under my underarms. There's probably too much information but I recently made a switch from just regular deodorant to a natural deodorant and sometimes you need a little extra bit of help during the day while your body is transitioning and these work really well. I also use them like when I take my son to school and I go work out after I drop him off. If I have somewhere to go afterwards I use these just to freshen up in the car really quickly underneath my arms or my face and they work really well. These cookies are a new item at Trader Joe's. So they have the lemon flavored waffle cookies and then the almond butter thins which I love and then they have almond butter thins with flavored strawberry bits. Looks delicious to me. This is a new item, this Korean gochujang sauce. So it has sesame oil in there and vinegar in there and it says it's for dipping, drizzling and cooking so I'm excited to try this because my husband and I, we love Asian flavors. Let me go back up here. I got some milk for my son and then I got these unsalted tortilla chips. I tend to try to buy unsalted tortilla chips. We try to watch our sodium and if you're eating these with a dip which typically we are or like nachos or something like that you really don't miss the extra salt. So I try to cut sodium wherever I can and this is an easy way to do that. Grab two boxes of their rice pilaf. It is very good. I love rice saroni but this is much better than rice saroni has a lot more flavor, it is delish and then I grabbed two cans of coconut milk. I love their coconut milk and I use coconut milk to cook quite a bit. So this is everything that I picked up on my Trader Joe's haul. I hope you all enjoyed it. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up and if you haven't subscribed to our channel we'd certainly love to have you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you all next time.


Hi guys. So today I wanted to do a video on an ICU assessment head-to-toe ICU assessment And I wish I could do this like in the hospital or on like it's a real person real patient or even a mannequin But I'm in my office, and I don't have any patients here. Thank God But before we get started I wanted to mention that this video is sponsored by weave wearables weave wearables Makes custom insoles for your shoes, and you know how important it is as a nurse to have good shoes Good support, which means having good insoles in your shoes. It's so simple All you have to do is download their app and take pictures of your feet Choose the colors and patterns that you want I have this cute rose print on mine And I picked like a turquoise shell here on the back and it has my name custom printed on it And they ship them to your door within 10 days. I am a huge believer in having custom insoles for your shoes So now that it's so simple to get them you don't have to go anywhere and get molds of your feet or Buy like those cheap ones that don't actually work All you have to do is download an app take pictures of feet send it in and that's it So if you're interested in getting custom insoles for your feet make sure you check out the description box down below There will be a link to weave wearables website, and they also have a promo code for you So you can save some money on your purchase. So and I see you head-to-toe assessment is very similar yet very different from a General head-to-toe assessment if you watch my video that I did like years ago I have a head-to-toe assessment video out for like kind of like a med-search patient, but I see patients are so Intense and so I want to talk you through what I do when I walk into a room and Assess my patient so to start off your assessment starts from the second that you lay eyes on your patient And that's the first thing that's so important with any patient But especially I see you patients is right when you get into work and while you're getting report Lay eyes on your patient and look at them look at their monitors look at their ventilators get a brief overview of what's going on when I'm getting report I'm looking at labs and different images and Doctors notes and readings things like that to try and get a comprehensive overview of my patient Well at the same time like looking at them So when I walk into my patients rooms the first thing that I do besides look at them is I am looking at a couple things They're monitors the drips that they're on and the ventilator I'm just gonna pretend that this is like a typical ventilated patient because that's what we do a lot of in the ICU So I'm looking up at my monitor to look at my vitals the heart rhythm the blood pressure their oxygenation How do I plus look and I also make sure that my alarms are correctly set on my monitor because sometimes nurses will turn alarms off or Adjust the parameters and I make sure they're set specifically for what I like and what my patient needs I'm also looking at what medications are running. Is that the same thing that the night shift nurse told me Are they running at the same rates that they told me how much is left in each bag? Is the tubing expired is it not expired and I'm confirming everything that I've just been told in report and Making sure that nothing's gonna run dry I also like to look at the volumes that are programmed into my pumps So if I have a bag that has only 50 cc's left I'm making sure that it's programmed to be less than 50 cc so it beeps before it runs dry because The last thing you need is to have a life-saving medication run dry And then you're like crap in your pants for a couple seconds I also will look at the ventilator and make sure it's the same settings that are ordered or that the previous nurse told me just to get a quick little overview as to what settings my patients on and While I'm doing all this. I'm also starting to assess my patients So starting head to toe the first thing that I'm doing is a brief kind of neuro assessment So I'm shunning my light into their eyes to check their pupils I'm seeing if they have like their corneal reflex I'm seeing if they have a cough a gag basic neuro things so you can suction them to induce a cough or when I'm doing my oral care I am you can put your swab back and see if it will make them gag and some patients will some patients won't if they're sedated Heavily then sometimes they won't do anything. It's really hard to assess facial symmetry when you are Vented or have you know other tubes in your face, but I'm doing my best to assess that everything is equal on both sides I'm also looking at any tubes that are going in and out of the body So my ET to what centimeter is it at is it secured my NG or OG to what centimeter marking is it at are they secured What output is coming out of my ET tube as far as like secretions or like gastric?  I'm looking at the canister on the wall to see like is my suction hooked up Is it off is it on how much is in the canister so that way I have a good idea as far as like how much outputs Coming out of a patient moving down. I'm assessing if they have a central line But it's the dressing look like what's running into my lines are the meds compatible Are they labeled if they're labeled? Are they actually the labels on the correct? If they're actually labeled are they correct to what med is going through that tubing I can't tell you how many times it may say it's your maintenance IV fluid And then it happens to be like an antibiotic or something different So I'm just confirming that everything is accurately labeled and to continue down. I'm listening to heart and lung sounds What do they sound like? I'm listening to bow sounds. I'm pushing on the belly Feeling the bellies at heart. Is it soft? Is it tender? Is it firm?  Do there need to be any dressings that need to be changed? Are there any drains coming out of anywhere? Are they full? What colors coming out? What do they smell? I know it sounds weird, but as a nurse you're like Keen to smells and as I go down I'm assessing their Foley catheter. Is it paint and Doing peri care to prevent, you know, catheter-associated UTIs I'm looking at their all extremities to see is they're swelling is it pitting is it non-pitting? Are there any skin tears bruises? Do they have good pulses in their arms and their legs and their feet and if I can't feel pulse I will go get a Doppler and make sure I can hear a pulse and if I can't hear a pulse Then you have a problem.  Are they warm? Are they cold are they sweaty? Are they dry and then at some point during my shift I will turn my patient to look at their backside if they have any wounds and he soars Sometimes things get shoved under the sheets and it can cause little dents in patients skin And you just need to make sure their sheets are nice and straight I'm also looking at the Foley to see the urine output. Is it matching with the previous nurse said? What color is it? Does it have a weird like sediment in there or cloudy? Does it look infectious? Does it look like it's a orange color from a medication? Is it brown because they pee out 10 cc's a day because they're end-stage renal? Also, if they are a vented patient occasionally at this time, it depends on the patient But usually we will turn down the sedation and see where they are at Neuro wise, so I will turn my sedation meds down see if the patients can follow commands Can they move their arms? Can they move their legs? Can they squeeze my hands? Can they give me thumbs up? Can they lift their head up? All those great wonderful nursing commands that if you're an ICU nurse you're probably like yes, I do that I do that and I think that's pretty much it. I know I'm probably missing a few things here and there It's hard to like just think about everything that you do when you're not actually doing it Oh also at this time I'm usually checking a blood sugar or drawing any labs that may be due as well and giving my morning medications Flushing my NG tubes making sure things are patent and working well. I can't stress enough How important it is to have a good? Solid first baseline assessment because that way if anything changes later on in your shift You know right away that it's a change and you're not wondering did I miss something earlier on like pupils? Pupils are huge. Pupils can tell you a lot that's going on in the brain And if your patient's pupils suddenly are blown on one side or super constricted or not Reacting then you know that's a change from your previous assessment But you didn't assess your pupils but prior then how would you know that that's a change or not? This video is probably a little overwhelming if you're not in the ICU or if you're a new nurse or If you're just learning or whatever, but I hope it was educational for you guys Make sure you give this video thumbs up and check out we wearables in the description box below I will see you guys in my next video. Bye
