So I'm going to be setting up a new computer over there, so all of this will run more smoothly in the future. So let me introduce myself. My name is Candace Craw Goldman. I'm a quantum healer, been a quantum healer for a decade now primarily doing the work of Dolores Cannon, but beyond. I run an international support forum and directory for healers of all kinds. You can find quantum healing practitioners.com on the internet and it's associated support forum for those who join and list on our directory. And I want to mention that this show, Quantum Healing with Candace, is sponsored by N5D.com. And wonderful Greg Prescott there, who runs the hottest and most relevant esoteric spiritual database and news piece on the internet. So if you don't know that N5D.com, you need to check them out and go on over there and see what's up and get their daily updates, one of my favorite things to do. So this morning, I want to tell you all just a little bit about my friend Alison Co. If you are on YouTube and you are interested in quantum healing of any kind, you already know Alison. But it's our newer viewers and some of our Facebook fans who may be on YouTube watching today that I want to talk to about Alison. So Alison's been a quantum healer and been part of our community for quite a while. And I was thinking about you, Alison, as I was driving in. And I was thinking about Dolores Cannon. And I was thinking about, really, even though Dolores has passed and Dolores was in her mid-80s when she did pass. Alison, you remind me of her in a lot of ways in a lot of beautiful ways. And let me tell you how. First off, your heart and your energy precedes you below. You are so beautiful on camera. And people can see that and they know that and they can feel your heart just like they could feel Dolores's heart. Here's another way you remind me of Dolores. You are so honest and funny. Both of those things. Dolores had an amazing sense of humor. And you have an amazing sense of humor. And I love it when you laugh. Here's another way you remind me of Dolores Cannon. You take the information that you receive seriously. You think about it. You compile it. You cross-check. And you sort of vet the information before you just get on air and begin telling the public. And that was very much Dolores Cannon. And I think a part of her is either in or around you at all times. Welcome to the show, Alison Koso. Happy to be talking with you this morning. Thank you so much for having me, Candice. And what an intro. Oh, my gosh. That is amazing. I feel honored that you would even put me in the same category as Dolores and her personality and her work ethic or the type of work that she brought to the world. Thank you so much. That is amazing. That means the world to me. I can't even I should get my tissues right now. Blot the tears away from my eyes. Don't make me cry. Yeah, OK, well, we'll go to the fun stuff now. But really, I was thinking, you know, I know hundreds of quantum healers all across the planet. I've met thousands of you. And there are many hundreds in our community even now. And I was thinking through all the different personalities. And I asked myself, driving in, who's more like Dolores than you? And I couldn't there was no immediate answer that came up. And here's a really interesting part for me. Dolores started out, of course, she is a completely different generation. And she started out, heck, she started doing these recording, these sessions with her husband, Johnny, me back in the late 60s in the early 70s. Did you know she used the big reel to reel recorders? I remember that. Actually, I remember that in her class, when I took it in Arkansas, she was, that was mentioned that I can't even imagine. Did they log it around? Or did people come to them? I don't know. But no, no, no. You know what? That was Dolores's job. Because for those of you who don't know this out there, it was her husband, Johnny, who had the interest in hypnosis. This was his hobby. So Dolores was like the pack person. She was like, you know, it was her job to carry this stuff and set it up. And her husband did this hypnosis for a while. And then, of course, all of the things happened in her life to where this became her life's work, particularly after her husband's accident and then subsequent passing. She just blossomed and bloomed. But she went through, I was thinking a lot about this technology thing. Because here, look what we're even doing now. We're talking and we're sharing about our quantum healing stories in a brand new way. And Dolores did reel to reel. And then she wrote books. And for the longest time, that's the way she got her information out. So you and I do this work. And I've got a book in my computer. But it needs editing. Who knows how long it's going to be before it's going to be actually published. But we share information this way. You know, the chapters of our stories are shared via the internet. And it's some of that moving into the technology that's available to us that connects us with people around the world. That's such a wonderful thing. But it is very similar to what Dolores did, capturing people's imagination and thrills to the stories and information that come forth through our sessions. Yeah, absolutely. Dolores did an amazing job. And I'm so glad she put those books out. And I'm so glad that I live in an age where I don't have to. Like, no, I have no patience for that. Absolutely none. But I am so glad that there were people out there that did and really got it out there, disseminated the information, put it on a global scale. And what a prolific author she was. Just getting book after book after book out. And each one so powerful because this information truly is so powerful that comes out of these sessions. I actually have to go in and re-listen to my sessions over and over again if I think it may have had a nugget in it that I could share. And it's amazing how much, how detailed they are and how much you forget. Even as the observer, as the witness to this stuff, it just passes right through, right through all the time. I'm like, whoa, that was in that session. Whoa, that was in that session. It is amazing how much information is in there. So thank goodness she recorded her sessions. Thank goodness she had the patience to get this information out and to help generations of people blossom. Like you said, blossom into who they are and what their purpose could be and where they came from and start that healing process and become the powerful people that they need to be at this time on earth. That is truly, there's nothing more important than that. You do a good job in talking about the difference. And so this thing, most of us who are in ascension and what that is for humanity, we talk about how fast things are happening and your description right there about how much information, how fast it goes by, how fast you get the information out by using this medium. We truly are taking this work of quantum healing into a new generation, into a new way. And just because it's funny, I want to share a little story about Dolores and my own session that I had with her. I actually was very blessed. I had a session with her in 2008. And at the time it was in her class, I was the demonstration subject in her class. And several weeks went by before I got my recording from Dolores Cannon in the mail, in a bubble mailer, in the round bubble. And I opened it up and I was so excited. I just like you, when just like us, I had the session and I remembered what I thought, all of it, right? But of course, it sort of tends to, well, I forgot that part. And then there was that really cool part that I didn't really remember. But when I tore open that envelope and I couldn't wait to get what she sent me, it was a cassette recorder. I mean, a cassette tape. And I didn't have a cassette recorder. I remember sitting in my office looking at this and thinking, well, the car I had the year before would have played it, but we had just gotten another car or whatever. And there wasn't even a cassette recorder in my automobile or in my house. I had to go buy a cassette recorder to be able to play and listen to my session. And Dolores Cannon used cassette recorders until she couldn't anymore. And meaning this, she actually had to special order them from what ended up being the last manufacturer of cassette tapes in America. She bought them in bulk until they no longer created them anymore. Oh, wow. I think she did this into, I don't know, maybe even 2010. And I remember when she walked into class one day, I was so honored to be able to assist her in her advanced classes. And I remember she walked into class one day and she brought like a Sony recorder. She said it, and she goes, well, I guess I can't use my cassettes anymore. And you know, what was really fascinating about that was it's how she paced herself. So she used, you know, you older people out there will remember this cassette tapes. There was different sizes. There was a 30 minute on two sides for an hour long tape and there was a 45 on two sides for a 90 minute tape. Do you know that's how she chose the proper length of a session? Because of the length of that tape. Oh, wow, that's pretty interesting. And she taught her class. So the first side of the tape is the past life. And then you flip it over as you ask for, you know, permission to speak to the higher self. While you're doing that, you're flipping your tape. Oh my God. That's so funny. It's for years. Well, anyway. That is fascinating. What a wonderful teacher whom I consider to be one of my primary guides, even now speaking from beyond the veil. And I know she shows up in your sessions too. Oh man, I wish she would. If she does, she's silent because I just don't have that access to that gift of being able to hear things outside of me. I'm not clear audience. And so that's, I don't get information like that. I so wish I could because I know, well, maybe it's a blessing because I know she'd probably be like harping on me all the time, you know? She is there. Well, I'll just finish this part of our conversation with this thought. Before Dolores ever died and in the classes when we would talk about this, some people who would come to her advanced classes and the reunions, et cetera, into the latter part of her life, we would say, Dolores, I had a dream about you. Or Dolores, I heard your voice in my head while I was having a session. And there were a lot of people who were saying this while she was still very much alive. And this really tickled her. She thought that was really interesting. She'd go, well, I guess I'm just, you know, very much a part of what your work and she loved that. And for me, so it's, for me, hearing her voice started even before she passed. And I think it's a little bit of just, you know, all of these things.  But today we wanna talk about some of your amazing sessions, especially of course, the thing that you've been talking about, this event that you have had information come through that might be right around the corner here in this brand new year of 2018. For those of our listeners who haven't heard about this before, would you like to tell us a little bit about the information that you've compiled? Well, yeah, actually. So yeah, there's a, these sessions are started coming through, maybe last year for me at the beginning, beginning of 2017, they started coming through, where people were the higher self in client sessions, started mentioning that there's going to be a supernatural event, a large event coming to earth and that it would be coming from the sky and that it was going to change all of the systems on earth. And, you know, being a student of them in the metaphysical world for years, I kind of, I kind of, you know, knew this stuff. I knew something like this was going to happen, but to get it in my sessions was like, finally, it was like so freaking validating. It was so amazing. So it wasn't that I was not aware of this stuff. It was just, it was so cool having it finally come through from this kind of higher perspective. Yes, there was a big wave coming to the earth. It's on its way. It will change everything on earth. It will raise the vibration of every species on earth and the planet itself. It's to prepare us for ascension. There will be waves of people leaving and going to a new earth, but this event is to prepare them for that. Some people won't need much preparation because they're right on the edge of being able to just go when this wave happens. And so just getting more and more details about what this energy is like, when it will hit earth, what people will experience when it does happen, what the earth will go through when it does happen. So not just the people, but what the earth will go through. It has been, it has made this year just fly by because it's not work. You know, as you may know, there's a lot of work that goes into these sessions, but when you get information like this, it's not work. It doesn't feel like work. It makes it so much fun. It makes life so entertaining. And so, yeah, this has been a lot of fun. And then as you know, because you do this work, you probably get, this is how the information comes in. So I'm asking the higher self, like the higher self is bringing something up. Oh yeah, there's gonna be the event and she's going to witness it. I'm like, okay, when, when is it gonna happen? And they're like, soon. I'm like, okay, soon. You know, to a higher perspective who is outside of time, that could be like a hundred years. So, okay, so I have to like narrow it down. I'm like, okay, will she still be alive? Is this person still gonna be alive when it happens? Yes, okay. Do you see it within five years or after five years, within five years? Okay, do you see it within three years, within three years? Do you see it within one year, within one year? Do you see it within six months? Yes, we see it within six months. Do you see it within three months? More than likely within three months. And so that's how I get these timelines. It's not that they're just all of a sudden like are out with it. I have to really try and get more and more and more and more information coming out of these sessions. And so it's really fun. And sometimes I don't get any information and sometimes the information's like, you know, oh, it's nine months away when like five other sessions were like, oh no, it's happening in three months or it's happening at the, you know, the first quarter of 2018. So definitely there is some variety in there but the vast majority are all saying this quarter of 2018. Now, I always put this out there. This is not my information. This is not me. I am a Virgo. I am like, I keep one foot on the ground. I'm actually a double Virgo. So that means I'm extra grounded in this, you know, with logic and analysis and stuff. And it's like, man, if you're getting this information, you don't have to believe everything you hear. But I am fascinated by it and I love it and I like to report on it. So, you know, to me, if it's like, if it happens in three months, yeah, it's the beginning of 2018. If it happens in three months, great. If it doesn't, hey, I don't care because I know what's happening. I know it's coming. It is coming, you know, but the fact is all of these sessions are actually, all of my sessions are actually saying the first quarter of 2018 with a few that aren't but that's okay when we're taking the majority. Now, what this feels like when it happens is really cool because everybody kind of explains it the same way in my sessions. I don't know if they're explaining it like this in your sessions. That's why this dialogue will be fun. So, they're all like, okay, she's gonna feel it before she sees it. It's going to be crackling in her body. This energy is gonna be like static crackling in her body and she's gonna know something is coming, Orhi. And then she's gonna see light coming in and some people describe it as like a multicolored smoke like seeing like this fog of light coming in and saturating the earth and seeing it, seeing it like miles high, you know, above the ground like just this wall of multicolored smoke. You know, yeah, that's gonna freak people out. Even though I know this stuff, it's gonna freak me out. I'll be like, oh God, oh my God. But yeah, you're gonna feel this kind of crackling energy like something is going to hit you. And then it also said that people are gonna be kind of out of it for a while. They're going to be really out of it. And when they say a while, I tried to get a time for that.   And it's going to be different for people, but it won't be too long. It won't be like a week. It'll be like a day or something where they're just kind of like laying there like allowing this energy to move through them and saturate them and make the changes it needs to make. Now, this is what's interesting. When we talk about the event and a lot of people are like, there's going to be a cataclysm or we need to be in survival mode. This is where I like to kind of use logic. So the event is there to raise the vibration of every individual on earth. So people who are already have a very high vibration, they will have an even higher vibration. And then people who are kind of a low vibration will go up to this higher vibration where some of us are at. And I include myself in that. Imagine your awakening process, your spiritual awakening process and how it was, for me, it was like, okay, I'm kind of awake. And I know things. I have this clarity about the universe and how it runs and how there's energy moving through all people and all of this amazing awakening stuff. And it became really hard to go to work. It became really hard to wanna cook dinner. It became really hard to like do the basic stuff. Imagine that on a grand scale where people are just like suddenly awake. And they don't want, they can't go to work. They don't wanna drive. They don't wanna do their jobs and everything. So logistically speaking, things kind of stop running. And it's people who are already awake who need to help those, who need to say, yes, this is what I went through. This is normal, expect this, you can expect this. We kind of are laying the groundwork and that's why so many healers are here right now. Awake, they're ready, they're chomping at the bit. They're like, what do I do? What do I do? I'm here, I know all this stuff. I'm fully awake, I've done all my healing, I've done all my work, I've released all this stuff. It was holding me back. I've cleared all my blocks. I'm here, I'm ready, it's go. And there's nothing for them to do except for be a lot of the time and wait, be patient, wait and send out more love and send out more love. Oh my God, I'm so over it. But no, they really, we really need them here right now because there are going to be a massive amount of people who need them, who need their hand held and need to be shown that this is the process of, this is the next rung on the spiritual ladder and then you can expect this rung on the spiritual ladder and then climb up to this. And I'm not saying it's going to be exactly what we went through with our awakening but it will definitely be very similar, I think. And so when you talk about this event and the effects that it'll have on our systems, systems will break that aren't based on truth and love and sustainability for the earth and its people, systems will crumble. We know that, they're all basically trying to crumble right now. But also people that are required to make these systems work. They won't be wanting to go to work. So, you won't even have a workforce there. And so I don't want to spread fear. I'm just using like the logic of it all. We are going to need like, people are going to need a little extra water. They might need a little extra food on hand. They might need a couple of things just to kind of make this transition a little smoother. So that's the information I have. Of course, there's much more than that but that's what we can expect. And then, or at least through my sessions, that's what I get. And then this event is like preparing us for this ascension to actually leave, to go to these higher dimensions. All fascinating. It's so intriguing. Every time I get information, it's so intriguing. Does that tie into some of the stuff that you get in your sessions? You know, I love talking this stuff so much. So, so much. So I've been doing this a long time, 10 years now. And some of this is, I can reach back and think there were some clients who were saying things like this 10 years ago, using some of the same phraseology, you know, soon, like you said. And when I, you know, I like your persistence. You know, Dolores had that too. There we go again, where I'm gonna compare you to her. You're very, and trying to nail some things down. I've heard so many different varieties of it. And at this point, what I'd like to simply say is, you know, I think you're getting a preponderance of clients who cluster around this subject matter. And those of us who do this quantum healing work, we sort of see this happen.   The frequencies and the attraction between you as a practitioner, their information comes to you, right? I get a lot of people who do, yes, life path, but I get a lot of people who show up at my door and on my computer when I do sessions via Zoom like this, who have health issues, you know, big, big focus on health issues. And there are some people who get people to do sessions with that rarely if ever bring health issues. It's really interesting how this works. So one of the ways I was excited about talking with you today was because of how many sessions you've had like that. Have I had some? Yes, have they been that specific? Occasionally, but for you, you know, this is something that wasn't in my sessions, meaning I couldn't sit down and write in the last year, you know, that there were 10 or 12 people who had this kind of information. I could not, there may have been several, but not as, I don't think as much as, you know, you have. And I think it's because of that attraction, right? And, but I wanna ask you this part of that. You did such a great job in describing what it might look like, what it might feel like with the light and the buzzing. So many of us now, I'm wondering as you're describing this, many of us now when we feel ourselves in the presence of great truth or great grace, we feel an internal buzzing inside. As a matter of fact, me just saying that has started it in my body right back. And one could call it a crackling inside of us. What do you think? Do you think some of us are getting like echoes or hints of that with this, with these body sensations? Oh my God, yes, yes, absolutely. Because we, so many of us are prepared are already holding this energy inside of us. So it only makes sense that we can start feeling this kind of lightning of our vibration, this raising of the vibration, this crackling that makes all kinds of sense. We are attracting this energy to the earth. We are a part of that.  You know, I'm getting a preponderance of these new earth kind of supernatural event sessions. And that's really cool. I didn't realize that that's happening, this kind of trend that I get more of these, you get more of the health ones. And that makes sense, because that's your background. That was like the big shift in your life, right? Was that massive healing after your session and during your session. And so mine was this new earth stuff. That was my introduction to Dolores because I got the information about a new earth that we were going to a new earth. I got that information before I ever heard about Dolores. It was just all of a sudden I knew it. I knew it, I woke up, I knew it one day. I was an accountant at the time. So I'm like accounting, do, do, do, do, do, do. And all of a sudden I know this. I know this idea. I know it like a truth. Anyway, so that's, that does make sense that that's why I'm getting all these sessions. And that's really cool. Yes, people come to me if you wanna know about this stuff. But the, it does make sense that we're holding, we are holding this tone, this vibration in ourselves and that's what's attracting it to the earth. So yes, absolutely. And that's really cool that you feel that in your body. I get it more in meditations, but I also get my ears are starting to pop more and more regularly.  Like, did your ears just pop? He'll be like, what are you doing? You're looking out in the space. I'm like, because there's something going on in my ears right now and I'm trying to figure it out. And he's like, what in the world is going on with you? Like you don't feel it, you don't hear it. So I don't know if that happens to you. I don't know if that happens to anybody who's listening but there are, there are changes going on, micro changes that are going on in our bodies as the tendrils of this energy wave are here on earth right now. The bulk of the energy hasn't arrived yet. But I think we're, the tendrils, just the tendrils are absolutely changing us as we speak, they're changing the earth. And that's why we see such a polarity going on on the earth right now. It's like, we are already polarized, but there is no, there's no middle. You can't be in the middle anymore. The middle doesn't exist. You're either over here or you're over here. And so I think it's fascinating what's going on. If we can, if we can keep ourselves at this higher perspective and view the earth and all the changes that are going on from this higher perspective, it's so fun. But anytime we drop down into the daily grind and the daily struggle and the slog, man, it's tough. It is tough going right now. So yeah. So yeah, I'm now currently imagining you in the year of 2018, when April 15th rolls around. You know what April 15th is besides a tax day? It's Dolores Cannon's birthday. Holy, I didn't know that. Wow. That interesting. Yeah. So here's some of the thoughts I've had while you were talking. First, just the last things I was saying about the truth or the grace or the understanding, getting these vibrations in my own body very much matches the word you've used several times today, crackling. And here's what I really know too. When it's profound, big, big truth, it comes, it starts in my legs and it comes up my body like this and it comes up. It's like a toroidal thing. You know how the toroidal field goes like this. And even as I'm saying that, that is starting it up again in my body. And I always know it's really big and really profound information. When it spills over out of my crown, goes down across my face and I can actually feel the crackling in my cheekbones. Oh. And I get that all that often, but while you were talking and I was talking about standing in profound truth and is that some of the same thing? And you were agreeing that we were already feeling some of this?   I don't know. Maybe it's like messing up my skin and giving me wrinkles. I don't know. But no, it's an amazing feeling.  I have absolutely no idea if this is related to what we're talking about. But my intuition is bringing it up. So maybe it is. I actually only told my family this a day or so ago.   But because they're pretty bright, I unplug them at night and I'm always the first one to rise in the morning. I always rise before dark, always. And I love watching the sun come up and that's my time of day is before the sun ever rises. And so I get up and the first thing that I do is I go over to the electrical outlet and I put the plug in and then it sort of lights up nicely for me to continue moving throughout the house that falling over a cat or something. But the most interesting thing happened just a little while ago.  So I just go straight there and I just plug that sucker in. So I went over there the other day and I picked it up and I'm holding the plug and I hadn't plugged it in yet. The lights blinked on. What? Right? I mean, it was very brief, but I'm like, you know, once again, I'm like, I wish someone would have been here to see that. What the heck? I mean, I've had this thing with electronics forever and ever. I mean, ask my family. It used to be like a joke, but it's no joke. You know, stuff burns up all the time. I'm not allowed to touch light bulbs, that kind of thing. Yeah, my cousin's like that. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah. And I wonder if these two things are related, actual crackling electricity. You know, am I gonna be able to like, hold on to my computer and like, charge it up. Just hold on to the plug here, baby. You need some, take it from me.  Don't even try that. Don't even try that.  Try it on somebody else's computer first. Not yours. I've got three in this room right now because of all of the different issues going on. And yeah, sometimes I take a computer and I hand it to my husband. I'm like, please reset this. Yeah. Just hold it for a little bit. Oh, I have clients show up, Candice, who I may not know this right away when they, I mean, we haven't introduced each other. We haven't like heard, I haven't heard their story or anything. And within, I always check because I don't carry a watch or anything. I'm always checking the time on my phone. So, you know, after a little while, I'll check the time on my phone just to make sure we're on track. We get into our session on time. And my phone will be almost dead.  And it's not, one client was like, does that mean I'm like an energy vampire? I was like, no, that just means you're like super highly electrically charged. That's what that means. It has nothing, you're not stealing energy from people. You're stealing it from our electronics. Back up. No, I'm just saying, but it's amazing that some people just have this ability.  You know, everything has that ability. So what I wonder is the gift part of that. I haven't had anybody ask that question in a session and nor have I asked it in my own sessions because it's not something that really affects me. But wouldn't that be fascinating to find that out? What does this mean? How can it be used in a good way? Or what, you know, what is the blessing half of this, half of this ability to be so electrically charged? Oh man. There's so many untapped areas. One of these clients that showed up. Oh, sorry. One of these clients that showed up to ask this stuff or she was one of the ones that was draining my battery. She, you'll like this. She arrived at a session. I love this. I love this woman. So please, if you're hearing this and don't think I'm complaining. This was just really funny. She arrived at a session with 16 pages of typed questions. 16. We're like talking to your hire yourself for maybe an hour there's not a huge amount of time. We got to a page and a half of her questions. Now 16 pages, that was like 14 pages of fascinating questions about the universe and about every topic like completely, completely well rounded in all her curiosities. I couldn't wait to hear all the answers. But the hire self, what did they decide to focus on?   They wouldn't give her any answers to her curiosities until they focused on her healing. Her actual healing of her emotions and her body because they were all the time that is primary. That is primary in these sessions. You cannot be of benefit to your fellow man and to this earth until you've dealt with your stuff and start healing your own body. And so it was really funny after the session. I was like, I'm so sorry you're gonna hear just gonna have to come back and back and back to get these answers. And she's like, I get it, that's okay. I get why they focused on this stuff. I get it. And that is always how these sessions go.  Nope, she had to, we had to get to, you know the healing part, you know, healing her as an individual and that anytime like somebody has this desire to heal the earth and raise the vibration of the earth I think this is really cool. Anytime someone has that desire to be of use to the universe and the earth and to raise the vibration it always begins with themselves. It's always an inside job first. They have to fix themselves. They have to raise their vibration. They are integral to doing that work. Their own healing is always primary to them being able to be of service to others and to the earth. I think that is so beautiful, so beautiful. We are so tied together. We are so tied together with the health of this earth the health of this earth is tied together with the health of our emotional state. And I think so many people don't know that they wanna look outside of themselves and say what can I do? What can I do? And it's like, no, you have to look right inside you and say, what can I do? Okay, this is going on, this is going on. Get rid of that. That's not serving me anymore, you know get rid of the mom stuff, get rid of the dad stuff get rid of it all, throw it out, get it out. And that's easier said than done some of the times. And then some of the times it's not. Some of the times it's so simple because we get information about like rewriting our timelines and stuff. Yes, I wanna talk about that too. And actually, you know, this is a great time to bring that up because what do you think of this idea? Cause I definitely wanna talk about this timeline portion of it. But how do you think it might be connected with this idea of what might be the different ways that people might be experiencing this event that may be coming sooner or later? Do you think because look at the work we do shifting the timelines and different versions in the Mandela effect and how things are, this way or this way. And that wonderful video, I don't know the title of it but definitely plug the video that you did recently about going back into your own timeline. And I love it so much, you were giggling at yourself. You're like, I'm not gonna tell you what I did but I was, oh Allison, you could have made a better voice. I was on the floor laughing just because of your wonderful humor. Because why? Cause every one of us can see that our own story in our own place where we might have made a better decision for whatever reason. You talked about shifting that timeline but I wonder, and I want you to talk about that but how about also talk about it in regards to could it be that there are different versions of experiences of this event coming up that align on different timelines meaning the person who, okay, I'm buzzing. So see to me that means, yeah probably, right? So there are gonna be this whole swath of people that see the colors and the light and really feel the crackling. There's gonna be maybe another swath of people who just kind of don't know what happened because they kind of can't see it.  The frequency is so high that they aren't aware of it. They just are aware of the after effects. Are there different versions or just different perceptions of the same event meaning different timeline versions? What do you think? Well, I think that's a great question and I think our perception does create the versions. So I think perception, everything exists in our mind.  Our reality and the way we experience it all exists from the inside. And then we see and they're finding that in quantum physics as well, just the measurements. The measurements control the actual results. It's so crazy. It's like a backwards effect. And so when you talk about different versions of this timeline, yes, it makes sense that it's just us in our perception of it. And so I'm getting information that may be completely unique to that individual and what they're going to experience. And that's why it may be so different from the next person. But when they all line up, like it's the experience in a lot of my sessions where they're all saying the same thing, then maybe that means that they're all of the same vibration or I don't know, it is fascinating. But I believe you're on to something because we're all living in such a different reality than someone else. I mean, you're in a marriage, I'm in a marriage. Our lives are totally different. What we experience, we live together. We see each other. We know the same people, all the stuff. But our lives, we don't experience the same thing. And that's with someone who's right next to us. So someone who's halfway across the world, who may be on a completely different vibration with us than us because they've experienced so much struggle, so much strife, so much war and poverty, extreme poverty, extreme war, malnourishment, all this stuff, they will experience something totally different than what you and I may experience. So it's yet to be seen. That's the cool thing. It's yet to be seen. I feel like we're in the greatest time on earth. Now, how do timelines and re... So how is it that our timelines and redoing our timelines, how does that affect? I have no idea yet, but it's so cool to ask. And I need people to show up at my sessions and ask this stuff because I don't have the luxury of having a practitioner right next to me who I can go in and have these sessions with. No, this is not my stuff and I don't hijack people's sessions. I need them to actually ask them on their own and come in and ask these questions because the more we find out, the more questions there are about that subject, peeling back the layers of knowledge, basically. So yeah, the timeline stuff is really cool that came through sessions about this client being able to recreate a timeline where a certain traumatic event didn't exist because basically she was experiencing pain in her body years after a traumatic event and the higher self said that's actually associated with the memory of that event. The body has healed itself, but every time she remembers the event, the pain comes back into her body and what we would like her to do is remember the event differently, put anything else in its place, take your imagination, fill it in, write a slip of paper and you know, I wish this happened and put that in the slot, that time slot and imagine that happening and they were like, it will completely change her timeline and it will erase the pain and that is amazing. It was so intriguing, that piece of information and that's what I was talking about in this video is how I immediately went into something that was affecting me and totally not something I am sharing because yeah, it's embarrassing. I'm gonna share my embarrassing like lamest moments of my life with everybody, but we all have them. And I was like, yeah, that didn't just happen. That didn't just happen. It happened this way and it completely changed my perception of myself, that shame, that guilt. I wasn't carrying that with anymore and that's where all change happens. It's in your mind, your perception of it. That's where everything changes. Always on the inside before on the outside, always vibrational before it manifests in the physical, always quantum before it's bigger, micro before macro. So really interesting stuff. And I'd like, and I have heard now like the comments after that video where like people are like, I try it, I've tried it and it works amazing or other people have been teaching this for years and it works amazing. So it exists and it's a doable. And then quantum physics, I stumbled across this article about it through the internet of course. And it was called retro causality, how to change the present in the past. So rewriting the past to change the present. And it was talking about the same stuff, how time is linear and well, that's the basic understanding is time is linear and we see it as an arrow just going forward. Past occurs before present and then present occurs before future. And causality is cause and effect. And so what happens in past effects of future? That's our basic understanding on a human level of time. What quantum physics is saying or this is a theory that causality can occur in both directions like a double-sided arrow. So it can affect the past. Our present can affect the past, not just the future. And so this was so in sync with that information coming out. What she does in the present can affect the past and therefore change the future. So we have this beautiful tool now where we can change the future. We can change what we experience. We can change our thoughts about maybe a cataclysm and apocalyptic event to something that's beautiful and beneficial to everybody. And it's like seeing jewel-colored light in the sky and feeling this amazing orgasmic tingling, I don't know. And instead of like, hey, some earthquake or something. Who wants that? I don't want that. That's not something I want. So I think this idea of changing our life as we go and the basic law of manifestation, the basic law of attraction, whatever we focus on, we attract. And so why not focus on something really amazing? We still have an effect. We still have an effect on what we will actually witness. So, man, let's get to work. Let's visualize, let's create. I think it's so, this is the most powerful time in our lives. Most powerful. Dolores used to say, oh, look, I'll have to get it. You're reminding me of Dolores again. So here's a bookmark that used to go out with her books. I actually, I don't know if you've seen this. Oh, yes, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, so my beautiful, beautiful Dolores, yeah. And on the back are some of her books. I'm sure that this is not included in any of the books anymore, but I still have a few hanging around. You know, as you were talking about this changing of the timelines, you know, for most of our audience are already on board with all of this. But if there's some skeptics out there, some brand new people who are wondering, how is this possible? If the past is already completed, how in the world can you change it? Well, I want to bring up something very basic and very physical, which is the neural pathways in your mind, right?  So if you are trying to, let's say, break a habit, or if you are trying to, you know, so many of us, we worry on something, right? We think about it, especially things that bother us. We think about it, we think about it, we think about it, we replay it, we replay it, we replay it, if it's painful, guess what that literally does in your mind? It's like walking the same path, you know, in your yard over and over and over again. It gets ingrained in the ground and it becomes very visible and very real and deep and all of that. And so some of what Alison was talking about is, you know, filling in these neural pathways in your yard or your brain with like dirt and kind of neutralizing them that way and thinking about another path. And then it really does change things because that's where the pain exists is in those neural pathways, in your, you know, repetition of these traumatic or painful events in your past. And then when things change and when you can look at things in a different perspective, and I bet Alison can speak to this, I know I've done some things similar, when you try or when somebody who is associated with a traumatic event wants to talk to you about it, you might find that you just really don't remember the details very much anymore. And they, because they may be, they never did anything like this and maybe they've ingrained it in their neural pathways. Are you kidding? I remember this, this, this, this and this. And they may look at you incredulous, like how could you ever forget this part and that part and this part?  So there's actually science that backs all of this up that isn't even as far out as quantum mechanics, which, you know, entanglement and all of that is true and all of that energy and frequency before even the cause of something. But very physical things, the neural pathways in your brain are part of what we're talking about here. And what we're talking about here too then is of course the spiritual and science part of all of humans finally coming together in a way where it's beginning to talk to each other for the benefit of all of us. Absolutely, I think that was beautifully said. Very well done. Yeah, so we have this amazing ability if we're not, you know, just lazing around, you know, wallowing in our own guilt, our own shame, our own pain, we have this amazing ability to start actively healing ourselves without going to anybody else. Without, you know, without going and seeing, well, okay, I'll get a lot of, I'm gonna get a lot of guests for that.  Basically you can do a lot on your own. And you might as well start, and you should start small, you know, if you start big, you're gonna be like, see, that doesn't work. And it's like, yeah, because you gave yourself some huge issues, just try and rewrite, start small. One day on my way to work, when I was an accountant and I had a commute, it was super icy out and I was on the freeway and a semi-stopped, we're all going super slow, but a semi-stopped right in front of me and my breaks took a while and it was all, and I was like, I just hit the semi. And then I was like, nope, that didn't just happen. That didn't just happen. And I remember telling myself, like, that didn't just happen, I'm just going to work. Screw it. And so I just, I went to work and I never even thought about it again. Never occurred to me that I had hit a semi that morning. There was no damage. Obviously we were going super slow and but I was like, I think. Anyway, so then a couple weeks later, my husband's like, what did you do to the car? And I'm like, what are you talking about? What are you talking about? And he's like, there's this little, yeah, anyway, he said, he found this little bit of damage on the car. It was super tiny and it took me a while to remember what happened. I was like, I didn't tell him. You know, you didn't want to, you didn't want to make that neural pathway any deeper in your brain. You were already filling it in. Yeah, I had already stuck to my new timeline. So I wasn't about to go back and create another one where that actually did happen. Nope. It didn't just happen. A lot of denial. That's a great story. I also wondered, you remember what you were thinking about other than I need to stop before that semi comes up on me? Do you remember like what some, I find these things, these questions fascinating when I'm talking to people in my own sessions about injuries or onset of illness or whatever. Here's a small example. I'll never forget this one. I had a man come see me and he had broken his hand in a motorcycle accident like two years prior and he just couldn't get the hand. It just wasn't healing. It wasn't healing. And so I was asking him about the accident. So let's talk about the accident. He says, well, it just really wasn't anything. I was just going off this exit ramp and I just kind of lost it and I hit the ground. Well, some people might stop there but I asked more questions and it ended up being exactly what we needed to know. I said, well, where were you going? What were you doing? What were you on your way to do? That's what it was. He came from a very religious, I believe it was either Amish or Quaker but I believe it was Amish family, big family, lots of siblings. He was the only one who left the religion, became an outsider. He was on his motorcycle, on his way to his sister's wedding when he lost it and the hand thing happened and it was on the right hand side, which is current life and it's also the male side and there was just so many connections to what was going on and why it wasn't going to heal and I will never, ever, ever forget that man's face as he's looking at me and I'm talking about, I think this is happening and that hasn't healed because this isn't about your hand at all, it's about your family, it's about your sister, it's about all of that. And then that gave what it is that we were even talking about before, a new perspective. Let's look at this issue from a completely different viewpoint and then you get a fresh perspective and then you can maybe shift this. And to him, and because of the way we were raised, he's, well, it's a random thing. I'm on my motorcycle, I randomly just slipped, lost my path, my footing, whatever and broke my hand and it was just random, it doesn't mean anything. Oh my gosh, there's nothing more far from the truth. When anything happens to you, I don't care if they're breaking a hand, stubbing a toe or winning the lottery or whatever it is, it's not random, it's never random, it has to do with how the universe is reflecting what's going on that you're sending out, you're sending it out as a signal, as a frequency, either because it's something you desire and are wanting to manifest or it's something you're worrying on and you're focusing on how you don't want it. If you focus way too hard on something you don't want, you're only gonna get more of it. And this inner beingness is the thing that happens first and then the thing happens with the hand or the hitting the semi or the anything. So, do you know, what were you thinking about when you tapped that big old truck on the highway? Were you thinking about work? I'm going to, yeah, probably because I didn't like going into work at all. And it was icy and I was like, it's icy, it's icy, it's icy, icy, oh! So yeah, yeah, I totally, I totally attracted that. No doubt about it. We're thinking about that though, you know?  It's water, what's water?   I don't want that anymore.  I think I had to change my deodorant pretty bad after that one. So I, you know, I bet, tell me what, tell me what you think. I bet you switched timeline when you, when you tapped that truck. Man, if I was, if I wish I was conscious about timelines back then, I really do. I really wish, I mean, I was totally aware. I was awake and aware and I was conscious and I was in, you know, a spiritual being absolutely, but I just wasn't aware like, oh, could I just switch to timeline? Yeah, that would be fun to go back and find out. And there are many times where I think I probably did, but, you know, like things where I'm just like, my life was completely different after this one event, after this one event, because I made this choice, my life was completely different. Thank God, you know. Yeah, timelines are fascinating. Just for you all to know, when you have a session, when you have a quantum healing session, that is a huge place where you will be a different person. I actually use a computer analogy with my own clients.  You are a different person, just realize that. Now start acting like it and don't go back to the old neural pathways, right? I mean, it's an opportunity, but in truth, everything's an opportunity. Do you know what I even do, Allison, for some of my clients who come here in person? I make them go outside and I make them like, either walk around the car on the opposite direction or start doing things just a little differently. Like all kinds of things a little differently. Like if they're wearing a watch, put that on your other hand or whatever.  And if you can remember that, keep that in the forefront of your mind, then you help manifest and seal in those changes, which is why when we took our class from Dolores, you know, she said, listen to your session, even if you think you remember it or think you've got that information, listen to it because it reinforces some of the healing that you might have gotten in your session. Yeah, that's a hugely powerful, hugely. I still listen to all of mine and I listen to my client's sessions even. It is so impactful to keep listening because you hear something different each time also and something that you didn't think was valid or didn't think was as powerful as it was. Well, and then maybe in one week, it becomes hugely important and you forget you don't pay attention to anything else but that one thing. And then a couple of weeks later, the same thing happens with some other piece of information. So yes, that recording is so important. So important.   Yeah, yeah, I find that absolutely, absolutely important. Speaking of that, I have to mention this and we've already been talking for more than an hour. So we're moving towards winding up our time together but I want to mention to those of you who are listening, you know, we have another video right here on the quantum healing and beyond YouTube channel with Alison and Lauren Hansen from, I'm always forgetting which Carolina she is. I think South Carolina. Anyway. I was gonna say North, but I can't remember either. North Carolina, one of the beautiful Carolinas and I used to live in North Carolina so I love you people out there but I don't really remember now which one. But anyway, we did a show together and where we, the three of us gals were talking and we kind of debriefed the session before and then the session is actually online. You get to listen to Lauren being regressed by Alison and there's some amazing pieces of information in there and then we talk about it a little bit at the conclusion but here's what I wanna mention about that. You all can go listen to that right now. It's kind of lengthy but it's so great. My life has not been the same since I listened to that session. My life has not been the same and so much has to do with that light language and that light language has shown up as a gift in my life. And it's one that I'm still exploring. It's still a very new gift and I'm using it in my own quantum healing sessions, not always when it comes up. So what I wanted to tell you, people who are listening out there even if you haven't had your own session, there are some things that you can do and you can be kind of activated by listening to other sessions, including the one that Lauren and Alison did together several months ago. So go check that one out. Yeah, and Alba's sessions too, Alba Weinman, she posts her sessions on there and people are always asking me if I listen to them and it's like, no, because I do this for a living. No, I don't, I feel like when I'm not working, I generally don't go listen to other practitioner sessions but it's so powerful. I think everybody should go and listen to those sessions. Absolutely, you are spot on. It's definitely activates something in you, yeah.  And I think that's gonna lead me to a really great place to talk about that right now.  Well, anyone really who is interested in helping another being, a service to others practitioner. You could be Reiki, you could be a life coach, you could be a massage therapist, you could be a yoga teacher, you could be an intuitive, you could be a medium, you could be all kinds of things. That makes you a quantum healer in our book and if you are a quantum healer, you are invited to join our community and our directory at quantumhealingpractitioners.com.  We are offering a program right now, a beta testing program of a modality slash concept we're calling beyond quantum healing. And it's being created right now with a large number of people who are interested in watching and giving feedback on the creation that's happening in our community. And what makes me very excited about this is, it's perfect even for people who've been wanting to get into this kind of work, maybe didn't know where to start, maybe don't know a whole lot. Maybe they've been interested in taking Dolores Cannon's class, the online one, but maybe they haven't been able to fit that in their budget or their time. You can come join us and check out our beta testing of beyondquantumhealing.com. It's kind of being created on the fly with feedback from people who join our community. And then at some point, maybe later on this year, next year, we'll pull the beta part of that testing, we'll solid and firm up the class and then offer it as a regular class out there. But right now is a perfect opportunity to get in on our community and on board learning beyond quantum healing for a really small fee. Membership fee to our community, which is a directory and a support form. They live on two different URLs, but they are connected. You start by getting yourself listed on our directory. It's just 10 bucks a month. You know, it's a nice latte from Starbucks or half a pizza, something along those lines. And that's step one. If you register with our directory, you will be invited to join our forum, which is a separate URL, but it all is matched up. And we even have the 30 day free trial. But check out our directory listing, quantumhealingpractitioners.com. It's a worldwide listing of healers all across the planet. And on the front page, you can set parameters. So as an example, you could say, you know, I really want to find a medium who my mom can go to in New York City who speaks French. I mean, that's crazy. You can like put in those parameters and find somebody or find somebody online or find somebody in your locale. And that is our directory. We're making it bigger and better all the time. And our support form has been supporting quantum healers. We started out supporting only Dolores Cannon students and practitioners. But we opened up our doors in late 2016, early 2017 to healers of all kinds. Because we think all of you out there, quantum healers, who are in service to others in that way. And one of the fun things about it is we get to share notes across modalities. We get to compare different concepts with each other. We make great friends. We have a great community. And we get to swap sessions with each other like you and Lauren did and like I do every chance I can. It's a really great place to be. So join us. And you can find, here, I wrote it down to make sure. You can find Allison at soulfocushypnosis.com. And that's soulfocus with a hyphen. And then hypnosis.com. And she is in Portland, Oregon. Of course, she has a fabulous YouTube channel. Go subscribe there if you haven't already. And please go and subscribe to Quantum Healing and Beyond our YouTube channel. We kind of had to start over a little while ago. And we would love to have you subscribe and listen to more wonderful conversations like this with quantum healers around the world. One more thanks out to Greg Prescott at n5d.com for sponsoring this show. And after all of that, I want to get back to Allison. I've looked so forward to this show with you over the last several weeks. It's been great spending time with you. Love your energy. Thank you for being part of our community and for assisting humanity and planet in the way that you do. You're so beautiful. I love to be able to call you my friend and fellow colleague. Oh, man, thank you, Candice. Thanks for having me on. You are a constant inspiration to me and my fellow practitioners. You are constantly expanding in love and evolving in love. You don't just, I don't know how you fit. Everything that you do, I don't know how you fit it in a day. I absolutely do not know how you do that. You are amazing. And after this, you have a show with Pamela Aralyn too, don't you? And who's an amazing medium. If you guys don't know who she is, she is absolutely wonderful. She channels people. I think she's doing a channeling of Dolores Cannon and that's what you were gonna do after this year. So you do so much and so much for the community.   And you are creating a platform where we do that from us as coworkers kind of spread all over the world. We're like bouncing ideas off of each other experiences and that's so, it's so huge. It is so huge. It's so healing and so I want that for everybody and you offered that to us and thank you always for that. I don't know where I would be without your forum honestly. So it's something I use every day, every day. So and people come to me every day from your forum as well. So thank you for doing that. You connect all of us. And I just wanna tell everybody who, I put a video up yesterday telling people to come and listen to the show. I thought we were also gonna do a live question and answer thing and we didn't get around to that and I just wanna tell everybody, I'm so sorry about that. You can actually send your questions to me and I'll try to answer them outside of this. Ask them in the chat. I've been watching the chat go over here on my other computer. There were so many of them. They're just going like this. Oh, there's a lot of talk and everything. I was just kind of like, oh my God. And again, this is my first YouTube live. I don't know that you need a third person to talk to you and answer questions. So I'm willing to and I know Alison probably is too. Leave your questions in the chat. We'll get to them that way or join us again. Where do you think Alison, would that be all right? Yeah, yeah, absolutely, absolutely. So, but Candice, thank you for having me on. Thank you so much. I so enjoy spending any time with you and thank you for the amazing work that you do. Thank you, Greg Prescott for supporting this and supporting Candice's work and my work and everybody, all that you do and thank you to all of the people out there who are listening to this or who will take this information and use it. Oh my gosh, you are so needed. Thank you. Oh, I'm so happy to be here. I'm so happy to be alive. Well, let's do this again, okay? And since we, since I've gotten my feet wet with your YouTube audience in this way, we will dedicate, heck, maybe we'll do a just question and answer only show. How about that? Would you like to do that? Won't even talk, just question and answer with Alison Coe and Candice. I'm happy to set that up for you with you if it sounds like something you might wanna do. Yeah, I'm down. I'm down. Absolutely. Okay, so all the people out there who are looking for the Q&A, I'm gonna hit the end meeting button but I'm gonna keep Alison on the line and we'll set up the next time and we'll post all of that right here on the show underneath the credits and the links when I get that up, okay? Thank you, Candice. Darling, it was so much fun. Bye, everybody. Bye, everyone. Bye-bye.


Mr. Pichai, I have not really liked your response to the lawsuit and what's been happening. I think we need a change in competition policy for this country. I hope I'll be able to ask you more about it at the Judiciary Committee. And I think your response isn't just offensive, it's been defiant to the Justice Department and suits all over the world. You control almost 90% of all general search engine queries, 70% of the search advertising market. Don't you see these practices as anti-competitive? Senator, we are a popular general-purpose search engine. We do see robust competition in many categories of information. And we invest significantly in R&D. We are innovating. We are lowering prices in all the markets we are operating. And happy to engage and discuss it further. Well, one of your employees testified before the Antitrust Subcommittee last month. And he suggested that Google wasn't dominant in ad tech, that it was only one of many companies in a highly competitive ad tech landscape. Google has 90% of the publisher ad server market, a product of its double-click acquisition. Does the market sound highly competitive to you when you have 90% of it? Very brief answer. Many publishers can use simultaneously many tools. Amazon and trade desk alone have grown significantly in the last two years. This is a market in which we share a majority of our revenue. Our margins are low. We are happy to take feedback here. We are trying to support the publishing industry, but definitely open to feedback and happy to engage and discuss it further. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. President. I think you've gotten feedback from the boss. So I'm looking forward to our next hearing to discuss it more. Thank you.


Hey guys, welcome to July of my creative year this month our topic is Tips and our prompt this month is favorite go-tos. So Like last month. I really had a lot of fun Building on a page over the month over the three weeks. So we're gonna do that again, and I'm gonna start with a Background that I can draw and sketch on so I think that means I'm going to and and this paper is kind of thin Because it's a mull skin like planter diary thing So that means I don't want to use a watercolor because it doesn't really do well I don't want to use crayon because they're hard to write over So I think I'm gonna use like some watered-down smeary acrylic paint. So let me get some colors I'll be right back. So I've got a baby wipe, and I've got some paints and I've got the Dina weekly media paint I'm gonna start with my favorite color of course turquoise And I just put a little dot few little dots and then I'm gonna take my baby white and I'm going to just spread it out over the pages. I want to have it be have color, but I want it to be thin So I can still see the background And then I'm gonna take another color of blue because you know, I really love blue this one's called ocean and Also with it being thin like this. It should dry fairly quickly Okay, and then I'm gonna take one more color. What color will it be? Will it be a bright color or muted color? I? Kind of want to go with muted Let's mix one No, I don't I was gonna say unless I have one in another paint not readily at hand, but this is magenta and Then I'm gonna mix that with a little bit of buff To just kind of gray it down and mute it a bit. It's a little bright for me for what I want to do on the page At least for this first week So I'm gonna just get a clean spot of the baby white Still awfully bright Neighbor dogs are barking That's better. Okay, so I'm gonna take my baby white Wrapped fingertip You don't need fancy tools to do art journaling people. You really don't you can just use basic simple things This is a piece of window screening That I found in the garage when we were cleaning and the nice thing about baby wipes that you can just do this So I'm gonna let that dry for a minute and then we'll be right back and continue on with our page Okay, this first week the prompt is tips I could of course give it literally and like the review video give you some Art tips, but I'm not gonna take it that way instead. We're gonna do something else I'm gonna do a little sketch of some of my favorite tools I've got let's grab a pencil a couple different kinds of pen and We're gonna start with a pencil So think of that tips of your art tools, right? Loose sketchy marks and if you're worried about not being able to sketch on your journal Then there's nothing wrong with tracing or collaging the images down. That is fine There's nothing wrong with that. So do it however You feel works for you and don't make them all the same height either I think it's more interesting if they're sort of dancing up and down the page Think of you know movement in your page Of course one of my favorite tools a paint paint brush, okay, and then let's do a fountain pen. I Do love my fountain pens.  I Don't think that's a word So think of tips outside the box. Of course you could journal in your About your favorite art tips you could journal about your favorite places to get tips like Pinterest you could actually do like I'm doing and do the tips of Your favorite art tools think outside the box and of course if you have art tips that you want to share with the group We're all about that. So please by all means share your favorite tip. I would love to see you all doing that this week My favorite tip of course is practice practice practice I hope that you find some find this interesting and it gives you some ideas of what you can do What are the favorite tips of your go-to supplies? And if you have any tips that you want to share in the group art tips that you want to share in the group this month Maybe some favorite go-to supplies that you don't see other people using Let us know what they are. Let's start some discussion and let's share Especially if they're budget friendly because we're all you know trying to stay in some kind of a budget So I would love to see what you do. We're going to be building on our page this month and creating something new and unique and interesting I think and I hope you join us all on that journey If you're not a member of the Facebook group that you'd like to be You can join it in using the link in the description below Don't forget the most important thing go out and have a great day Do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you later. Bye guys


So then they have this thing called October Fest and it's basically like a big party. Beers on beers on beers on beer. Which teammate would you pick as your beer guzzling partner? Now, Tom can throw them down. Listen, listen. I can't just pick one person if you say that.  Go. I go Vita Vale. I go Pat O'Connor. I go Will Ghosting. I go Jamel Dean. OK. Levante, have you thought about this before? No, honestly, this is just guys who I've been out with and I know how to get down.  Yeah, yeah, Vita for sure. He's definitely getting no more. I love that.


to get a chance to display our lethality and our crew proficiency. This will be the first time the Sullivan Cup has allowed 19 Delta Calf Scouts, as well as Bradley vehicles to participate and me and my crew, we are actually the first crew to qualify on the Bradley A4 variant of this vehicle. It's really important to us because it not only gives us the opportunity to show how hard we train as a platoon and as a company, but it gives us a chance to go and represent the division down at Fort Benning to show what we bring to the table. To show that we are lethal down here, just contribute to the overall mission to fight and win our nation's wars. It's something I've wanted to do since I was a private and it's been quite the experience so far. To be able to compete at that level and just to be able to represent the A division, let alone the 3rd infantry division, it's almost like a dream come true.

A West Virginia man who pleaded guilty to helping dispose of a body this summer appeared in court for sentencing today in Kentucky. 33-year-old Oki Lee Hinkle of Delbar in West Virginia was sentenced today in Pike Circuit Court before Special Judge Tom Smith. In June, Kentucky State Police received a call from the Mingo County Sheriff's Office requesting assistance, locating a subject that had been reported missing to their department. KSP Troopers and Mingo County Sheriff's deputies responded to a residence on Turkey Creek Road in Pike County. A search warrant was obtained and investigators located a body buried in a shallow grave. The body was later identified as 69-year-old Sam Kimberlain of Williamson, West Virginia, who was the missing person out of Mingo County. 31-year-old Jennifer Blankenship of Turkey Creek and Hinkle were arrested in connection to Kimberlain's death. Blankenship was charged with murder. She pleaded not guilty. Hinkle was charged with tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse. In November, Hinkle pleaded guilty to the charges in Pike Circuit Court. Hinkle's conviction came by way of a plea agreement requiring he testify against Jennifer Blankenship in the case. Today, Hinkle was sentenced to three years in prison for tampering with physical evidence and 12 months for abuse of a corpse. Both will run concurrently. In Pikeville, Shelby Porter, EKB News.


Okay, so I do think it's related these topics of accessibility, the internet and a topic which is fairly close to which I enjoy or which I believe in is the topic of web standards and I think that's going to be part of what today's discussion hopefully will be focused on what web standards are, what they enable us to do and perhaps what we can do with them over the course of the next couple of years because we're basically building a web and to be able to access it, we need to have a common platform with which we can talk to each other about. So how does this particular topic in terms of web standards relate to people with disabilities? Have any of you seen people with disabilities using the internet or using computers? A few of you, so some, a large majority not. Okay, so interestingly enough it's actually possible for people with a wide range of disabilities or abilities rather to use the internet and to access it. So just before that we'll just jump into what are the ranges available. So we're talking about a term, there's a term which I like to use which is impairments as opposed to disability. And impairments refer to medical conditions that people may have. You can see a whole bunch of you wearing glasses here. Would you consider yourselves disabled? Not anymore. Not anymore.  I don't think I've got my glasses. I can see now. There you are. So it is an important thing. I mean most of you who need glasses to use the computer would probably agree with me. But you wouldn't consider yourself disabled because now you're able to use everything exactly the way anybody else is able to.  It ranges from being, having glasses, having poor vision, perhaps being colour blind, unable to distinguish between important colours to being completely blind. You have, some people are unable to hear. Perhaps you can't hear very well or you're completely deaf. People have different abilities in terms of moving around. So you have physical impairments which would range from perhaps being temporarily disabled. So for instance if you broke an arm or if you strained the leg, which is pretty likely on these roads, you might be temporarily disabled for say a couple of weeks. Or you might be using, you might use a wheelchair or you might not have access to one of your limbs. So these are the five broad classes of disabilities and they span a wide spectrum. You might have a particular cognitive impairment which could learn from having dyslexia. I know a lot of people have undiagnosed dyslexia in fact. To perhaps being a slow learner to actually having say, having something like cerebral palsy which actually affects, then it's a motor neuron disease essentially. So how does this in fact relate to us? Because we're hardly, at least I don't think many of us are in the medical profession here. So how do we actually cater to what is essentially or what is seen to be a medical condition? How many of you are doctors here? And the medical sort, not the fake sort, but the PhD thing. None of us. So we had this body which was the W3C or the World Wide Web Consortium which came up with a bunch of standards. They're the ones responsible for HTML, CSS, a whole bunch of others, XML, RDF, the basic building blocks of the internet, the URI structure, URLs, etc. It's a public body. Any of us could join technically. It's got all the big draws of vendors like Apple, Opera, Mozilla, Google, all of them. And they came up and they created a particular standard which they called the WCAG which is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines which essentially consists of four principles. That's it. Four principles, fairly easy to memorize and a useful acronym. So the first one relates to perception or being able to, I'm not going to say see, but being able to experience. So that's the first principle of the WCAG. You need to be able, all your users regardless of ability or disability need to be able to perceive your interface. So it could range from, perception can span a wide range of things. You might be able to see an interface. You might be able to hear an interface. You may be able to feel an interface. There are different ways in which perception can happen. But we need, as developers, as designers, we need to actually build our interfaces in such a way that everybody can perceive them. The second principle is they need to be operable. What does operable mean? It basically means the ability to operate it. To turn on a switch, you need to be able to actually do so. If you need to open a door, you need to turn a door handle. In the same way, controls on the internet need to be accessible to everybody. You need to be able to select your gender in a sign up form. You need to be able to put your name in when the people ask you for it. You need to be able to use, say, a navigation menu. You need to be actually able to hover over a drop down menu and select one of the items there. So it ranges over those. The third principle that the W3C came up with was things need to be understandable. You need to be able to understand what, now that you're able to see it or perceive your interface, now that you're able to operate it and move around it, you need to then be able to understand it.  Simple things like making sure that the language of your text is declared programmatically. And then lastly, what they talk about is making robust interfaces. And I think this is a theme which is going to become more and more important as we have a wide range or a diversity of interfaces to actually use any electronic network. These days you can talk to your phone with Siri, with Apple Siri, and it will talk back to you.  That's one way of interfacing with the internet. Now we all have, as I'm fond of saying, we all have the internet in our pocket. That's a pretty interesting thing if you think about it, especially if you were on the internet 10 years ago. So essentially they say that you need to ensure that things that you build today, things that you design and build today, need to work in the future. They need to work with things that came before, because there are people, trust me, there are still people on IE 6 on Windows ME. I'm sure there's some user. I'm sure some of you were looking somewhat pained, have seen those in your server logs back then. So you need to make sure that you ensure compatibility with a wide range of devices and with what are called user agents. A user agent could be either a device that you use to access the internet, or it could be devices which plug in and allow people to use the internet. So then there's a bunch of guidelines which I do not want to get into, but I do want to show you perhaps one example of ways in which people with disabilities can use the internet, and so what I'm going to do is that I'm going to... So, for instance, somebody who can't see, actually I don't know if I need to show this to you, somebody who can't see, how do you think they would experience an electronic interface? Anybody? Screen readers. Okay, excellent. Is that a familiar word for all of you? Anyone? Not familiar? Somebody saying, yeah. Okay, so let's see what a screen reader looks like. From the term, from the phrase, it's fairly apparent. It looks at your screen and then it reads things up to you. So, let's see. I think we should be able to hear. So, it's built into this machine, but you have other ones on different operating systems. Welcome to iOS 10. VoiceOver is running. System preferences. Universal access. Window. Toolbar. That basically is to show you exactly what is being read up. It's useful. You are currently on a toolbar. To interact with the items on this toolbar, press Ctrl, Option, Shift, down arrow. Ctrl, Option, Shift, down arrow. Interact with toolbar. Four items, back button. So, somebody who can't see, for somebody who can't see, this is a means of accessing a computer. You actually listen to what's happening and you can navigate your user interface just by moving through it. Search, search, test field. And you'll notice that as I move through a diversity of like interface elements, you are currently on a test field. It gets a little verbose sometimes. As you navigate through different interfaces, it'll actually announce exactly what kind of element there is there. So, it said for instance here, I don't know if you heard that. Search, search, test field. It actually tells you there's a text field, which implies that you can enter something. You are currently on a test field. A, F, A, R, A, F, A, A, A. Sorry. System preferences. Prefer. Right. So, you'll be able to use entire websites just with it. I'm not online now, so I can't actually demo that. But you can actually move through, navigate, interact with, and give your input details into web pages using tools like this. So, this is for instance an example of assistive technology which somebody who can't see would use. So, that's one quick thing. So, that's just a quick introduction to web accessibility. Do you have questions about this? Anyone? Do you want to show us how it's defined on the webpage? Yeah, sure. Since we're all developers here, we can talk a little bit about the technology that goes into this. It's actually very, very simple. Let's see, question. How many of you here are designers and not developers? Quite a few.  I don't like code. Yeah, so, in fact, HTML is very easy to make accessible. And really all it involves doing is to make sure that you apply common sense to your work. Basic principles. In fact, it's all about going back to the basics. It's about making sure, for example, that your code validates. Making sure that you write well-formed HTML. Making sure that you use the appropriate HTML tags when you're trying to add semantics to a document. Semantics, it means associating, for instance, naming all your elements. So, for example, if you have input fields, you need to describe them. You need to say that this is where you put your first name. This is where you put your second name. You need to make sure that you associate labels and controls. So, let me see if I have something. Are you guys, do you guys want to see this? Yeah. Yeah, okay, so we can go ahead. So, I'm just going to jump in here. So, for example, the first guideline refers to text alternatives. Text is the most universally accessible form of content that there is. And so if there are other types of content, for example, videos, audio, interactive elements, the best way to ensure that your content is available as wide an audience as possible is to make sure that it has text alternatives. So, this is the guideline, essentially. It says provide text alternatives for any non-text content. If you have an image, make sure that you have what's called an alt tag for that, which actually describes an image or describes the content of that image in text. And, in fact, accessibility is excellent for business because one of the biggest blind users in the world are your search engines. Google is a huge blind user, right? Google can't see an image. It can't understand an image yet. Anybody from Google want to contradict me on that? As far as I know, Google cannot understand, cannot parse images and understand what's going on there. So, you actually have to tell it, okay, this is an image of, in this case, I have selected a picture of the Prime Minister of India and they are visiting the Ministry of Social Justice because for one, they are the ones responsible for electronic accessibility guidelines in India. They are trying it with Goggles. With Google Goggles, yeah. But I think that I'm not sure how far along they are with that. That's one thing. Doing one image at a time is a completely different thing and crawling the entire time. Understanding Google, which is a completely different list altogether. Well, I wouldn't underestimate them. Yeah, but as of now, my, anyway, key point to take away from today is that you should have all the tags on your images, right? These describe your images. They're great for search engine optimization. In fact, a lot of your SEO can come from basic accessibility principles if you like doing that sort of thing. Typical sign-up field, yeah, our friend at Google. They ask you for a bunch of inputs, right? They ask you to talk about who you are. They ask you to, they have different controls. They have a whole bunch of things. It's a good idea to associate this input field with this label. So when they talk about your first name, you need a way to programmatically associate these two items together. So you need to, in your HTML, make sure that labels and input elements are associated. So you do that by saying you have your input element, which has a unique identifier, and when you talk about what label, what input element the label is for by using the for tag. So fairly basic stuff. It's all in HTML 101. Unfortunately, this isn't followed so closely these days. More text alternatives for videos. Captures. So captures are sort of an unsolved problem as far as I remember in the accessibility world. So I will desert by letting you hear a sort of incomprehensible audio equivalent of a text, or the capture text. Yahoo! allows you to actually call a number. Some of the newer human understandable captures, I don't know how good they are at stopping spam, but they at least are available to everybody. So they will ask you what color is this guy, or do a math problem, or what kind of thing. Have you seen those around the web? Of course, I don't know at the scale of Google whether those are realistic. Yeah, so there's a bunch of stuff around media accessibility, which I'm not. There's also one interesting thing is to make sure that your content is adaptable so that it works on a wide range of devices. So make sure that you pay attention to the semantics of what you're putting on a web page. Use, for example, a well-formed markup. Use markup, which actually means what you're trying to say. So if you're trying to structure a document, use headings, use appropriately nested headings, use tables only for tabular data. I don't know if there are still people... I don't think so. You'll be surprised enough, right? You'll be surprised. You'll be really surprised. People still design websites with tables. It's true. CSS is a little bit hard to get in the beginning, but it's worth making that effort. Yeah, essentially this is about adding semantics to your document structure. So anybody want to... Okay, you don't have to tell me if you use tables for designing, but maybe you know a friend. You have a friend or a friend, maybe, who admitted once to using a table to design an equal height column, perhaps. I was about six, seven years ago. Six, seven years ago. But you've quit now. I mean, it's not just about the meaning also. It's also about the performance. Making large pages, tabular, and structure just goes everything up because it waits for the entire content to load. Absolutely. There are definite performance benefits from going to a semantic market, right? Yeah. So there's guidelines about how to make content distinguishable, about how you use color. So I'm not going to go into these things in detail. Please, please. You don't want people mixing up green and red. You know, people are going to stop doing that. Using green and red together to change the shape. You're not bad. You're not bad. You're the wrong example. You're not the wrong example? The projectors helping you. The color profile is not correct. Yeah, that's possible. So a lot of people, men especially, a person of all men cannot see red and blue properly. I mean, so red and green properly. Traffic lights are usually tolerable because they're in order. You mix up traffic light and order, it's bad. But veg and non-veg, red and green parts are the worst. I can never tell the difference between what is veg and what is non-veg in a menu because the same damn color to me. So what I do is take a photo of the damn thing and look at the photo because the camera will compensate for the color and make them look separate. So please, do not make such mistakes. Do not mix red and green, okay? By the way, you've just been nominated for an entry on first-world IR problems. You know, when it's distinguished, there are veg and non-veg labels and supermarkets. Anyway, so yeah, there's... Yeah, the guideline is very simple. It basically says, you know, make it easier for people to see, to distinguish between your foreground and your background, right? So for example, if I'd used a white background on the slide, it would not have been a good idea to use white text here. So I've used a very dark color. It talks also about the background, the audio, which is perhaps not so relevant, but basically makes sure that the primary audio content is audible and is clearly distinguishable from your background. It talks about ensuring that your interface elements and your content has adequate contrast. So it specifies certain ratios for ensuring that there's sufficient contrast between your various bits of text. It also says, please allow people to resize text, right? This is essentially the core of web accessibility. It's about not making assumptions about your users. It's about not making assumptions about the fact that everybody will be able to see 12-point text in light gray on a white background, right? It's about not making assumptions about the fact that everybody will be able to use a mouse or will be able to see your interface, right? If you say, please click on the green button. Please click on the red button. Yes, somebody who's colorblind cannot do this. Somebody who's blind can definitely not move through your application, right? So that's essentially if I were to wrap up now. That would be what I'd ask you to do. Make sure that you don't make assumptions about the user groups that you are targeting. Anybody questions? There are some automated accessibility testing tools, which, for example, the W3C publishes something called the HTML and CSS validators, which will go basic code check and ensure that your HTML is well-structured and well-formed. There are automated tools which I'm reluctant to recommend because automated accessibility testing is never 100% foolproof. For example, one of the guidelines says make sure that you have text alternatives for your images. If you just put blank, blank, blank, blank, blank for your images, those would technically pass an automated validation test, right? But it would not actually be accessible. So the web accessibility in mind publishes a tool called Wave. I forget how it expands here. But it's a Firefox plugin which you can install. You can just put your URL into a little bar. It'll indicate whether you have certain errors. It'll also provide alerts for things which it can't test reliably. So in your talk, you did a bit of covering the so-called concepts in the theory, right? So what I was curious was, if you're aware of the initiatives or the level of awareness, at least in the Indian context of accessibility and whether people actually care and what level do they care and whether that's sort of increasing. Well, there are different ways of tackling this or ways of looking at this more appropriately. One is you can look at it as a sort of at the level of social phenomena accessibility. You can look at it from a legal perspective. You can look at it from a business perspective. Those are the three I look at or I go into looking at. I lost a year of my life trying to get the government of India to pass a policy on electronic accessibility which became a watered-down bill which mandates that all government websites should be accessible to people with disabilities. Any of you try to use a government website? I think we already talked about working on the website for the Centre for Physical Disabilities. I'm not accessible. I have to read the website because of that. At least that website should be accessible. So there are efforts. It's fairly disheartening. The CIS is a big pusher of electronic accessibility. I did a lot of my work through them. They recently, a couple of days ago, published a study on government websites in India. They did a study of 1,500. The results are completely unsurprising. This is the one place where the government of India actually got six sigma compliance. Not being accessible. So yes, at a policy level, we do have a little bit of a framework which says you should be accessible. There are no penalties for not being accessible. What's good is that the private sector has a strong motivation to be accessible because it makes great business sense. Writing well-structured HTML, making sure that your code is optimized for search engines, etc. or accessible which means that it's SEO. It does make good business sense and people are starting to see that. A lot of the frameworks that are coming out have people have thought about it at least. So it's becoming better. It's not great yet, but it's not as bad as it was five years ago. Can gesture-driven interfaces solve the problem? Or what's the problem? So gesture-based interfaces have their own set of problems. They've increased accessibility for particular user groups, most definitely. Especially, say, people with different sorts of cognitive disabilities, different sorts of physical disabilities do enjoy gesture-based interfaces. On the other hand, for different sorts of people with different physical disabilities, they may not be able to actually use a gesture-driven interface. You can easily imagine somebody who has poor motor control using an interface like the iPad. Whereas, on the other hand, it has made it far more accessible to people who have different sorts of cognitive disabilities because of the interface, because of the lack of disconnect between, say, a keyboard and mouse and your screen. You touch an icon on the iPad, it does something. That disconnect is removed. It has its pluses, it has its minuses. Apple is doing some exemplary work in the accessibility sector. The first ones who came out with a completely accessible touch screen. I don't know what the situation on the Android front is right now, but in any Apple product, the iPhones, the iPads are completely accessible. Actually, it's a huge hit in the blind community. You talk a lot about most content being accessible. Is there any application being accessible, like Gmail or any of those things that basically are happening? Yes. The thing is, web standards cannot keep up with the pace of innovation that's happening on the Internet today. So, in response to web applications, which are responsive applications, interactive, what are called desktop-class applications, you had a new standard or a new framework, ARIA. So, it's a web ARIA which stands for Accessible Rich Internet Applications. It's a language for describing repurposed HTML elements and interfacing them with your accessibility APIs. So, you can technically make a response to an interactive environment even like a Gmail chat page. So, there are efforts within it and they're not doing so badly. There are definitely issues that these rich Internet applications throw up for the accessibility world. So, I'm going to stop now because we will actually try to start on time for Divya. But before that before that one presentation I was ready to make. So, before we go on a quick word from our sponsors. So, Hasgeet is a small organization. It's a small community organization which is trying to create discussion spaces for geeks for everyone actually, not just geeks we have special exemptions everybody is a geek. We're trying to do this by creating a topic that we think people are interested in and having a mechanism for everybody to come together participate in deciding what gets presented at these events and then creating online spaces as well for discussion around this. So, our team members are at work trying to take the computer away. These are some of the events that we've organized. We did a series on HTML5 a couple months ago nearly a year ago. Exactly a year ago. Doctorate HTML5 we then did a quick android camp which was on the first of April we did an event called Scaling PHP in the cloud we did most recently an event called JSFOO which some of you may have attended which was about JavaScript and Ninjas I don't understand JavaScript Our next event which we'd all like you to come for and also buy a ticket is DroidCon we're pretty excited about this because this is the first time that we're going to have an international android event in India. This is a worldwide series of events that's happening happening in London Eastern Europe Germany Other places Other places The Netherlands So, we're the first outside of Europe So, this is going to be our biggest event it's on the 18th and 19th of November that's next month exactly a month from now and it's going to be in Whitefield There's a new convention centre up there which has plenty of space it's got great sound our last few news have had some issues with the sound this one should be fun it's going to be targeted at android app developers people are interested in the android ecosystem so if you are there's going to be a wide variety of topics design, development where android is going to be going so please do come and tell your friends and even people who don't like but the event that I'm sure that all of you are far more interested in and this is the first time we're talking about this is an event that we like to call Meta Refresh which is an event that we're holding early next year and this is really going to be talking about the future of web interfaces we're going to be talking about what it means now that we have this wide diversity of devices or ways of accessing it it's not just about devices anymore interfaces are many and they're just growing all the time so this was the original iPhone which started a lot of this we're talking about situations where you go from having one way of accessing things one way of getting at content to having a wide range of actually getting into stuff so big buzz word this year of course has been HTML5 which we're going to talk about but interestingly they dropped the 5 from HTML so it's now a standard it's now an evolving standard it's changing all the time things are changing all the time and as designers and developers we're doing exciting things so we'd like to talk about that and we'd like to invite all of you to come in so this is the future we have flying cars so thanks for watching see you next time
