Well, there you go. Everyone who is a big fan of the WandaVision show, Doctor Strange 2 makes it matter. Yeah, kind of. Ooh! That's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review for Doctor Strange into the Multiverse of Madness, and I was quite excited for this film. Admittedly, the Marvel fatigue has really started to hit me. We're just never gonna get an experience like Infinity War and Endgame, but I am still kind of curious to see what kind of different wackiness and visions that we could get, and since this was directed by Sam Raimi, the guy who brought a spider man in all of his glory, both good and bad, I was happy to see him be a part of this film. The references to his work, whether it's from his camera work, to his setting, to his very sly, but more well placed inclusion of horror, to all these tidbits and Easter eggs from Raimi's history of making films, it was cool to see these bits. Doctor Strange is trying to kind of carry on from the events of Endgame, all the while checking in on Wanda to see what's going on with her, all because this girl is hopping multiverses and falls into strangers. Now, there is the issue though, where a stranger wants to help her, Wanda wants her for her own reasons and the connection with her obsession, her want to get her children back, and that pits these two against each other, which I will say I actually really enjoyed Wanda as the antagonist, I guess you would say in this film. I liked how they took that character into this arc of feeling sympathy for the villain. This is something that Marvel's needed to improve on for quite some time, aside from Thanos and a few other villains, you never really could side with them or understand their cause. Wanda's cause is not even really of any kind of malicious intent, she just wants what she can't have.  There's a lot of shit that Wanda does that is really, really stretching into the realm of horror, and I am surprised that there is as much in this movie as it is for a Marvel PG-13. We're used to seeing barely any goddamn blood. Ant May died, then didn't die, then got up and died all without losing any kind of blood in no way home.  I admittedly I did, completely surprise. The visual element of this film is very cool.  This one admittedly goes for a mixture of looking like practical, but really still going into that Sam Remy man of madness. The amount of evil dead reference work in this film is numerous, and I loved it. Did I care about the movie though? That is admittedly kind of a double-edged question. While I did like what Wanda was going through, and I did like kind of the middle part, which for a lot of you is probably going to make it come in your pants for a bit of the scene, so that's the most I'm going to give you. But, and maybe how we get to the conclusion of the film, because that part is also crazy, it still suffers from that Marvel fatigue. You know exactly how you're going to get from point A to point B. And that's kind of how it is with almost every superhero movie, but you kind of want to see if you can get there in a different way. And aside from Wanda's maliciousness in this film, everything else kind of plays out how you would expect. And I'm not going to really blame Sam Remy for this, you know, he does the best he can. There were some reshoots I heard that happened, and I know probably exactly where they are, and they look like reshoots. It's a spooky movie. And that's probably the most gratifying part about this movie is the spooks you'll get, the little scares. Both funny and actually scary. And admittedly, probably the funniest joke is at the very, very, very end of the movie. It is the post-post-credits scene. That's the funniest joke, because it's right up there with Sam Remy and his style of filmmaking and humor. Dr. Strange's multiverse of madness really does rely on Wanda being your crux, being the main reason for viewers to be engaged with the story. Because while Strange is, he's got this inner catharsis thing that's trying to go on, but it's just so lame and so haphazard that you don't really care about what's happening to him. You care more so about what's happening around him. And this film does make itself as a setup movie. I think this is more so marvel answering some questions without answering some questions. And for those of you who know what I'm talking about, you know what I'm talking about. Don't spoil it in the comments. So you've got some cool visuals, you've got some cool horror, you've got a main character that's kind of eh, but you have a villain that is well-rounded and makes you care about what their plight is. I still don't think it's that woohoo though. Now as I've said, that is my fatigue. That is my Marvel movie fatigue coming in. And the fact that I was looking forward to this movie a while ago, quite a bit, that want and that excitement just kind of fell down the closer and closer I got to this movie because I knew it wasn't going to do what they said they were going to do. They said they were going to make this a full on horror movie. I knew it wasn't going to get that, but I was hoping to get more than this. And even with Sam Raimi, who is a master of horror in his own way, that I still don't get that either. But let me make something clear. It's not a bad movie. It's just an average one. So in the end, I'm going to give Doctor Strange, in the multiverse of madness, a 4 out of 7. Marvel fans, you'll probably love it. I see that it's busting numbers of the box office already. It even beat Batman for opening weekend. But for those of you who are kind of still reaching, hoping, wanting for that thing that is going to give you that same feeling that Infinity War gave you, that Endgame gave you, really Infinity War, let's be honest. I don't think it's ever coming back, guys. But those are my thoughts on this movie. What do you guys think? Tell me what you guys thought about this movie in the comments below. But try and hold back on the spoilers, because I don't want to spoil it for other people, of course. Thank you for watching this video. If you liked it, leave a like.

A little bit of legal, funny business in the World Series from Maldonado here. This breakdown is brought to you by DraftKings. Now look how close to the plate he is standing in his previous at bat. He was not standing that close to the plate. He inched closer to the plate and he even admitted to it after the game. Right there, gotta get on base. You know, my jaw is leading off, gotta get on base, so I say, let me get closer. Don't move, hopefully I'll hit you. Don't move, hopefully they hit you. Now for those that are going to get irritated by that, I think you should know the fuller context. He was playing with both a broken hand and a sports hernia. So his odds of getting hit probably not incredibly high. He said it's about winning. The team needed me, the pitchers needed me. He needed to get on base. He literally had a conversation with himself straight out of Major League. This guy, he used to pitch you inside, didn't he? Yeah. Get a bat and step into one. What? Let him hit you with a ball, I need another runner out there. All right, so up he steps, toes on the line, elbow hanging over the plate. The pitch is there, but he doesn't get hit. And he even tried, even like, oh, come on, hit me, hit me, hit me. Doesn't hit him. Damn, was that his chance? The next pitch, that's inside, but that's a strike. So now it's one and one. All right, let's bust him in again. And now Sinker runs in, hits him real moody. It was like, what? He's over the plate and I'll not have walked straight to the first base. Kind of gives his coach like a look. Like, are they talking about me? What's going on back there? I mean, I was like, he's on top of the plate. Like, what are you talking about? And look, you know, he even like reaches that elbow out, brings it back in. Did he intentionally get in the way? It's a really tough call because like, that's where he's standing. And I guess it's legal to be standing like that. But he got exactly what he wanted. He was hanging over the plate and gets hit. You know, foul ball, which doesn't make any sense. And then the Phillies challenged that he didn't get hit by the pitch, which maybe they were just hoping they'd go to the replay and because you can't challenge, it was intentional and they were hoping they would take another look and they get it. I don't understand. After review, the call on the field has confirmed the batter was hit by the pitch. He's awarded first base. Yeah, because if it's just hit by pitch, that's the easiest review of all time.   Topper doesn't like it. And yeah, this was the third inning where he was standing and that is the sixth inning where he was standing. And yeah, he moved a full body distance closer, hanging all over the plate, gets on base and it helps out. Altuve grounds out into the fielder's choice but that puts Altuve on first base now in Maldonado's spot and Altuve is faster and Altuve can go first to third on a single and Maldonado could not have done that, especially with a sports hernia and Pena tries to hurt his own hands in celebration and now the big bad man is up. Three run, home run killer been doing it all postseason so they take Wheeler out, bring Alvarado in to face Alvarez, lefty versus lefty and look at the nervous hands behind everyone in the crowd. It's pretty cool, fastball in, he's trying to jump all over it, he hits it foul. The next pitch, slider away and it's way away and Real Mudo has, let's go back and watch it again. Real Mudo has to do a lot, a lot to block this ball. It's way away and Real Mudo looks, checks the runners because the tying runs on third base. So that slider right there might have become a dangerous pitch because Real Mudo had to fully get out there to catch it and if he doesn't, game could be tied. Maybe everyone's calculating that. So now the count is one and one. The next pitch, fastball up and in 99 miles per hour so it's two and one. Is he gonna throw the slider again? I don't know because of everything we just talked about. Alvarez has been sitting fastball and he sits fastball there and it's the farthest home run ever. Not officially ever, there's probably been farther but that is an absolute bomb. Basically, great high five. Basically wins the World Series. Like everybody knew it was over at that point. Three run home runs are daggers. Look at this, boom. Holy moly hit that one. What'd they say, 450 feet? Seemed like it went a lot further. I'd never seen a ball hit up there in that part of the stadium. Just crazy celebrating with his team. Vamo, let's go, blended it up. I have no idea what he's saying but it's exciting and then the camera crew goes up to this guy and like, hey man, we'd love to get a shot of you holding the ball for the broadcast. He's like, okay, can I watch the game though? World Series, he's like, oh, you still want me to hold this ball? People like this shot really, okay. I was gonna turn around and watch the game though. You guys do your thing, appreciate it, thanks. Dusty Baker switched sides. It's a superstition he has and then he's got the toothpick and you want to know what's going through his head right now. Has it hit you yet, Dustin? Oh, it hit me all right. It hit me through that ball. Your down hit over the moon out there. That's when they hit me. Now, what's next? Party. This breakdown was brought to you by DraftKings so thanks DraftKings for doing that. They are partying in Houston still and Dusty got to love that Dusty has a ring on his finger now. That's pretty special.


The seas around Wales need to be clean, healthy, safe, productive and biologically diverse. They're part of the natural resources that support the way we live and work, a vital economic force, a source of opportunity and an asset we can pass on to future generations. To protect our seas and the activities that rely on them, Wales has 139 marine protected areas. In total these areas cover 50% of our seas and each has its own role to play. In practice protected status means keeping a close eye on activities. It doesn't mean you can't fish there, use shipping lanes, add marine power sources or use for recreational purposes. It just means any plans will be carefully assessed and if there is a risk of detrimental effect activities may have to be modified, all for the greater good. There are three steps to the network completion project, the first of which is currently underway. The first step which has already been completed is to conduct broad searches to find suitable areas for possible marine conservation zones or MCZs. The JNCC and NRW have identified areas that contain habitats and species for which there is a shortfall in Welsh waters. These broad areas of search cover potential areas where MCZs could be located and are much larger than the MCZs are expected to be. The second step which is currently underway is to refine these areas to a number of options where possible MCZs could be located. The Welsh Government are now seeking to have informal discussions with communities and other marine stakeholders about the areas that have been identified in stage 2. In the third step the areas will be further refined by drawing up indicative boundaries for possible MCZs. It is at this point that a formal consultation would be introduced. More information on this process will be available soon. Please visit our website for the latest updates.


Welcome to today's video. On the video today, we're focusing on a haircut for super thick hair.  There's about five different things packed into this haircut that I think are gonna be useful. The first thing's gonna be how to cut a fringe or a side bang on thick hair. The second one is cutting a face frame, being able to put that and incorporate that into it. The third thing is cutting concave layering to be able to remove that weight. The fourth thing is I'm gonna share with you guys some products that are great for thick hair. And then the last thing, we're gonna do some dry cutting. We'll show you guys some tees cutting on the top of the head to really pull this whole technique together. So stay tuned for that. Now you guys know that free salon education is free because we have great sponsors. So I wanna share with you guys a new sponsor that we have on the channel and that is a company called Side Line. Now Side Line is an app on your phone. It's right here. So you guys might be thinking, why is Side Line a sponsor of this channel? This industry is exploding with studio rental and a lot of people don't wanna use their own phone number. I know I would not want to. So with Side Line, all you have to do is download the app, you sign up, it takes two seconds. It's 9.99 per month and you get a second phone number dedicated to your business. It's own voicemail, it's own messages. You can text from it. There's so many different options available for this. So what I did is I went out, I made my own Side Line phone number. The number is 845-ASK-FREE. 845-ASK-FREE.  And I'm gonna start creating videos off of those voicemails. So remember, again, that's 845-ASK-FREE. So if you guys wanna try out Side Line, there's a seven day free trial. And then again, after that it's only 9.99 per month. Click the link in the description below. You have to click that link.  Really appreciate it. Let's get started with the video. Here we go. What's up guys, welcome to today's video. Today we're gonna focus on creating a face frame for super thick hair.  I even go a little bit deeper, about two inches away from the front forehead area or the fringe area, you could say. And I create that circle around the crown. Now, that circle is going to be cut dry later. So all of the interior work on this haircut is gonna happen first, wet, and then we're gonna go through and cut the top dry. So starting off, this guest in particular has a left-hand side parting. So we're gonna work off of that. So I bring everything straight up over the parting. And now, notice my elevation. And this is why I say that this is for thick hair.  Now the reason for that is that's gonna create layering. And the reason I wanna create layering is because I wanna take out some of the density within the shape. So the shape is how the weight is kind of traveling around the head horizontally. And then your density is how the weight is moving vertically on the head shape. So do I want the heaviness to sit down at the bottom? Do I wanna remove some of it? Do I wanna pull it to the top? So in this cut in particular, I'm holding everything at that 90-degree point to remove a nice amount of weight, but also continue that shape kind of coming off the face. So working with the stationary guide, I'm pulling everything over the part. What that's gonna do is it's gonna push that weight over to the ear on that side of the head. So that's kind of my goal within this cut. Use the elevation to remove the weight and then over-direct it over the part to push that weight to the back of the head. Then we're gonna go through and we're gonna do a technique in the back of the head to kind of control that weight. So you take everything section by section when you're working in a haircut. Now notice my elevation here. The head shape is shifting. So as I get across that parietal ridge area where the head starts to dip down towards the ear, I drop my elevation a little bit because the head shape is changing. I don't wanna keep my elevation up. A lot of people end up with a nice little hole in that part of the haircut and I think that's because they keep their elevation exactly the same as they go through the top and the head shape isn't the same so you can't think about just keeping that stationary guide in that same spot. Now we're working on the weak side. This is the lighter side of the haircut. Notice my elevation is not up in the air. The reason I do this is because I'm trying to keep a balanced appearance. So I connect the links by using a guideline from the other side but I go through the side and I keep my elevation low to keep that density, keep the weight within the haircut. Now we're gonna move center back vertical sections and I'm just gonna create some concave layering in the back. That's also a great technique for thick hair when you're trying to remove weight. So notice the length is sitting at the very bottom of my finger. So I elevate the hair up and I use that length as my guideline and I just keep cutting the hair. I'm working my way. This is gonna be a traveling guide now because I want to keep the layering seamless all the way around and I'm not trying to push weight behind the ear at this point. I wanna keep everything nice and following the round of the head. So I take a little bit of my old hair, pass it over and then I grab some new hair, pull it to the guide. So I'm slightly pulling it maybe half of an inch over. You don't wanna pull your hair too far over. You don't wanna take too thick a sections. People just tend to grab a ton of hair and bring it over. What that does, you're creating too much over direction and then what that's gonna do in turn, you're gonna lose your guide or you're gonna push too much weight to one side. So if you're trying to stay consistent, make sure you stay consistent with those sections as well. Said this a million times, but what separates good hair cutters and great hair cutters is their ability to comb the hair and like it was brought to my attention earlier in the week, it's also where you pull the hair too, right? So elevate the hair, put it where you want it. You start with your guide in the back. The other thing I want you to notice at the end of this section is that I'm pulling everything. It's a traveling guide but once I get behind the ear, everything comes straight back. Creating a more of a square shape in the back. That's gonna give me that seamless kind of nice base that I'm looking for in this cut. You can see how nice and seamless those layers fall. Now we're gonna remove that top section and we're gonna work on that. We're also gonna start our blow-dry. We're gonna use the Joico Blonde Life Brightening Veil. This is a UV and thermal defense multitasker. It basically shields the hair from UV damage, thermal damage, any kind of damage you can think of for the hair. Put this in and you're gonna be safe from that. And then also the Joico Blonde Life Brilliant Glow Brightening Oil, it's all about keeping the blondes bright but also keeping the shine.  Nice lightweight oil. So if you're looking for something like that, check it out. We'll put the link in the description below. All right, so we're gonna finish off. I'm just doing a nice pass with the iron. So here's the reason I wanna iron it first. I'm gonna show you two different styles. People like to see it straight, people like to see it, have a little bit of wave to it. For this, I wanna do the dry cutting with it more in a straight form. So I pulled the hair forward. I'm gonna use a tease cutting technique you guys have seen me do in the past. This is the motion that you're gonna make. So a slight close as you pass through the hair. So as I push into the hair, I slightly close the scissor. It just removes a nice soft amount of weight in the hair and gives a nice little bit of texture to it as well. So it's just better than going in and point cutting for me in this case because it just gives a really broken soft line. Barely a line at all, to be honest, which is my favorite part. So you can see all that texture pop from doing that face frame technique but also going through and doing the tease cutting technique. Now we're gonna finish it off with the Joyco JoyMist firm finishing spray. That just gives me a nice hold to keep that face frame in place. And now I'm going to go through and show you the second style which is using a wand iron. Nice big size iron. I'm actually not sure exactly what size it is but I just go through and I curl everything towards the face on both sides. That's just gonna give me that texture and I like to leave the ends just a little bit straighter. I feel it gives it a little more of a modern feel to the haircut and it really brings out that texture. So you can see as I push it over, ton of texture busting out of this. Now I'm gonna use the Joyco Body Shake. This is one of the newer products. Tons of texture, smells like the beach, a good beach, like coconuts on the beach. So hope you guys liked the video. Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions. Thank you so much for watching.


One of my first online projects was called Ideicus, a project that set out to give away ideas because ideas should be free. Yes, ideas are valuable, but they shouldn't be caged up, trapped behind the red tape of office politics, or smashed between the pages of an unopened notebook. Ideas should be free, given room to stretch their legs and run, to dig into the soil and take root, to collide with other free ideas and become something greater than the sum of their parts. Ideicus was an idea that eventually came to an end, but its ongoing line of iterations include the very platform you're experiencing right now.


Can you see me? No, not yet. Now we can. You can't see my eyes though, can you? That's a bit weird.  Let's continue. What's happening guys? It's Jacob here. I'm back for the second update, second weekly update of this 30 day fat loss transformation that I'm currently on. I am happy to say I'm still on it. There have been a couple of days where, you know, I guess I've fallen off the bandwagon so to speak, but all you can do is you know, accept that, go to sleep, wake up the next morning and crack back into it and that's exactly what's happened. So, I have some data here that I want to share with you. Data is what I love. I love analytics, I love statistics, I love data. When I'm going to do a transformation, when I'm going to commit to something like this, that does take a lot of commitment. I want as much data to back me up and to keep myself accountable as possible and so that's what we've got. So, the two things that I've been using to track my progress are progress pictures which I'll show you at the end of this video and my Fitbit. Now, I was using a third app which is my fitness pal. I have to be honest, I used it for the first week. I realised that with all the experience I've had, you know, with dieting, with counting calories, counting macros, I actually don't need to use it. So, I know when I'm hungry, I know when I'm overeaten, and so I can pretty much eyeball what I'm doing. So, as far as calories in, I couldn't exactly tell you, but I can tell you calories out. I can tell you how many calories I've been burning. So, with that data, if I'm losing weight and I'm burning that amount of calories, I must be consuming less. And that's the way I see it. So, day 8 to day 14 was from Monday the 19th to Sunday the 26th of April. Today we're on Tuesday the 28th. So, how many calories am I burning per day and how am I going about burning those? Well, everybody burns a certain amount of calories per day, you know, being stagnant. Okay, that's just your metabolism, it's your body weight, your bodily functions, you're going to burn a certain amount of calories. Now, I probably burn about 2,000, maybe 2,200 per day if I just sat still doing nothing. Any piece of exercise on top of that is just going to be a bonus. Including steps, including just walking, running, you know, basically anything that gets your heart rate accelerated, whether it be by one beat per minute or by a hundred beats per minute is going to cause your body to burn more calories. And so, it's basically thermogenesis, right? So anyway, here's the data. Throughout the week, I did two weight workouts, which you'll see on this channel and two runs. We also went for probably three extra walks as well, but the two runs were 10Ks each. So, I'm actually training, you know, low key for a marathon. I'm testing myself with these runs and I'm happy to say that I didn't stop on either of them. So throughout the week, I did arms workout, I did a chest workout and we did two 10 kilometer runs. If you're wondering my times for the runs, the first one on Monday was 10.07 kilometers and the total time was one hour, nine minutes and 19 seconds. The second run was on Friday, it was 10.04 kilometers and the total time was one hour, two minutes and 26 seconds. Now, within those runs, I wanted to challenge myself.  I'm going to leave the house, I'm literally going to put my shoes on, put one foot in front of the other and just jog. You don't have to go out at your top pace, just go out basically at a walking pace, it's just you are jogging. So you get your feet moving, after maybe 500 meters, a couple of minutes you assess what your heart rate's doing, you assess what your breathing's doing and if you can speed it up, you do. So that's how I've started. I've started each of my runs really, really slowly and just slowly, slowly picked up my pace throughout it. Because the last thing I wanted to do was to go out too hard and have to stop. So what I'm happy to say is that in both runs, the last kilometer, the 10th K, I consciously tried to speed up and I was able to record my fastest kilometer of the run in the last K.  So that was the specific exercise that we did. I did go and play a bit of sport with this, we won't include that. As far as steps go, okay for the entire week, Monday to Sunday we had 64,986 steps. Now for whatever reason, my Fitbit app tracks it from Sunday to Saturday. So the first day of the week is actually a Sunday. So if we're talking about from Sunday to Saturday, my total steps was 64,986. Now that is an average of just over 9,000 per day. On Thursday I didn't actually wear it, so it only recorded 1,300 steps. So you know, I probably averaged just over 10,000 per day. Now my best day, as far as steps go, was Monday. That was one of the days that I did a 10K run. We had a total of 15,705 steps. My worst day was Friday. My worst day of actually wearing it for the full day was Friday, 3,776 steps. As far as calories go, so we've got steps, but we want to know how many calories we burn. Now the Fitbit is not going to be completely accurate, but you do enter in your details and it is, it measures your heart rate, so it is going to be the most accurate measure you're going to have as far as calories burn.  That is an average of just over 3,100 per day. The best day was on Saturday, which is one of the days that we did a 10K run, and that was 3,934 calories. The worst day was the Friday, and that was 2,544 calories. So you can see the massive difference. On a day that I'll do 3,500 steps, I only burn 2,500 calories.  So it does make a big difference, and this data is what you can use to hold yourself accountable. Now, do I have any other data? I do have one more piece of data, and that is sleep. First thing I do when I wake up, it's quite cool, I look at my Fitbit app on my phone, and I see how I slept. Sleep's huge. Sleep's big for actually your metabolism, believe it or not, but it's also big for mood. So, you know, if I wake up and I've had a good sleep, I feel pretty good. I feel motivated. If I wake up and I know I've had a bad sleep or I've gone to bed way, way too late, it's just a bad way to start the day.  So, as far as sleep goes, once again we're going from Sunday to Saturday from the 19th to the 25th and we've got an average of 7 hours and 59 minutes. On average you'd add another hour on top of that and that is the total time you spent in bed. So recently I've been spending an average of 9 hours in bed. Apparently nearly 8 hours of sleep. And that is that's a quality sleep. I mean, that's more than enough for me. So, there we go. That is a little bit of an update. So the last but not least piece of data that I'm using for this transformation is obviously progress pictures. I took them yesterday.  I'm kind of disappointed actually because I haven't been able to get the consistent lighting, which is so important. You know, when you are taking progress pictures outside, it's up to the angle of the sun and the time of the day that you do it as to what you know, lighting you're going to have. So I've tried to keep it as consistent as possible. I've done my best. Following this video, you are going to see a little video that I've been quite excited to put together of progress videos. So the videos that I take the screenshots from, I'm going to put them next to each other. So we're going to have one on day 1, day 8, and day 15. And I'm going to try and splice it together so that I'm doing the same poses at the same time. So we can see if there's any difference yet. I hope you guys enjoy that. I'm going to have fun editing it. That's what this is about. It's about having fun. It's about bringing content to my channel and it's about getting through this isolation, man. With a sane mind. And I'm doing it. So guys, that is all the data. We are on to week number 3 and I can't wait. So with that being said, from Christchurch, New Zealand peace out. I don't see nobody in my lane.  I've been up and working to the morning. Yeah.
