All right, so we're still talking about the radial solutions to the hydrogen atom wave function, the radial portion of the solutions, and what we've seen so far is that the function e to the minus some constant times r is a solution to the radial portion of the Schrodinger equation, and we determined that what that constant was is the atomic number divided by this collection of constants that we've called the Bohr radius. So this function e to the minus zr over a naught is a solution to the Schrodinger equation, and in fact, if I stick any constant I want out in front of that equation, it will still be a solution to the Schrodinger equation, and you won't be surprised to learn that that n turns out to be related to what will turn into a normalization constant in the near future. So that's one solution to the Schrodinger equation. You also won't be surprised to hear that there's a large number of solutions, even for the l equals 0 wave function. This was a solution to the l equals 0 portion of the radial wave function. Even for the l equals 0 portion, there's more than just this one solution, and we end up numbering those. So this is when l equals 0, the one solution that we've obtained so far, I'm going to name that the r10 radial function. That looks like n times, let me leave a blank there, e to the minus zr over a naught. That product is a solution to the Schrodinger equation, or the radial portion of the Schrodinger equation. There's a second solution that we can consider, and we want through all the math of confirming that this is in fact a solution, but the second solution to the l equals 0 radial wave function, radial Schrodinger equation that we'll call r20 is a different normalization constant, again multiplied by the same exponential, I'm sorry it's actually multiplied by a slightly different exponential, e to the minus zr over 2 a naught, and also an extra term, a polynomial term that involves r. 2 minus z times r divided by a naught, so that new function exponential times this polynomial also turns out to be a solution to the Schrodinger equation, the radial portion of the Schrodinger equation, and there's an infinite series of these, and there's also a whole different set of solutions, not when l equals 0, but when l equals 1, and when l equals 2 and so on. So if we pause for a second to write out some more of these candidate solutions in just a second, so as I said, there's a whole infinite series of these solutions, when l equals 0, there's an n equals 1, n equals 2, n equals 3 solutions, any one of these, if we plugged it into the radial version of the Schrodinger equation, we could confirm that these equations each solve that differential equation. For the l equals 1 version of the radial Schrodinger equation, there's an n equals 2, n equals 3, and so on, whole set of those, and I've got only one example here for the l equals 2 function, but the point is there's this very large family of solutions to the radial version of the Schrodinger equation, and if we look carefully, we can see some things they have in common. If we look at what this radial solution of the Schrodinger equation looks like, it always has e to the minus z times radius divided by the Bohr radius, but sometimes it's divided by 1 a naught or 2 a naught or 3 a naught, and that's in fact the reason we label them n equals 1, n equals 2, n equals 3, n tells us how many Bohr radiuses we divide by in the exponential, so that's, for example, why we started counting from n equals 2 rather than n equals 1 for these solutions is because the first solution has e to the minus z r over 2 a naught, and the next one has e to the minus z r over 3 a naught, so we call that the n equals 2 solution, the n equals 3 solution, so the exponential always has e to the minus z r over n copies of a naught. There's also always a normalization constant out front. That normalization constant, I've labeled them all n, but if we calculate the actual values of those, those are different normalization constants for every one of these functions, and then the polynomial portions of these functions, which I've written in green, we can see some patterns there also. Sometimes it's a polynomial function like these, sometimes that polynomial function is preceded by a ratio of z r over a naught with some constants thrown in, so that term, if we look carefully, looks like 2 z r over n a naught. Sometimes, so that's the term like this one, that's 2 z r over 2 a naught, 2 z r over 3 a naught, 2 z r over 3 a naught, so it's always 2 z r over the n a naught terms. That's either raised to the first power, 1 l equals 1, or it's raised to the second power, 1 l equals 2, or it's missing entirely 1 l equals 0, because it's raised to the zero power, so that term is raised to the elf power, and then there's this other more complicated polynomial term that involves constants z r over a naught, z over a naught squared, and so on. So for now, we'll just write that as some polynomial function of r, which again is going to depend on the specific values of n and l. We'll talk more about that in the future, but that's some additional polynomial function of r. So this is the general form of each of these radial solutions of the Schrodinger equation. The one thing left that we have to comment on these is what values of n and l we should expect to find solutions for. l, you'll recall, is the exact same l that we've had in the rigid rotor Schrodinger equation, so we know that the value of l can be any non-negative integer, l can be 0, 1, 2, and so on. What we see here is that when l equals 0, the value of n can be 1 or 2 or 3 or larger values. When l equals 2, the smallest value of n we're allowed to have is n equals 2, I'm sorry, when l equals 1, n must be 2 or 3 or some higher value. When l equals 2, then n can be 3 or higher. So that pattern persists. So whatever the value of l is, n can be 1 larger than that or larger integers still, but it can't be as small as l or anything below. Usually we don't think of the rules in this form, we think of them instead in the following form. n, as you see here, n can be any positive integer, it's possible for n to be 1 or 2 or 3, there are no values of n equals 0, and that's because if we had a 0, e to the minus 0 over 0, a naughts, then that would not be possible mathematically. So 1 is the smallest value of n that we're allowed to have, and when n is any one of these values, if we rearrange these values, if n must be l plus 1 or larger, then l can't be any larger than n minus 1. So l can range from 0, 1, 2, etc., all the way up to n minus 1. So that version of the n and l rules may begin to sound familiar from what you've learned about the hydrogen atom before. You know that there's a quantum number that can be 1 or 2 or 3, and another quantum number that can range from 0 up to n minus 1.

We're looking forward to welcoming guests this time from three states in the area. And we just can't wait for everybody to get out and see what great condition the trail is in and how lovely the lake is right now. With the weather getting nicer and plants beginning to bloom, a horse ride along the lake is the perfect way to take advantage of the beautiful conditions. Right now the trail is just absolutely beautiful. Everything's in bloom. All kinds of flowers and trees, dogwoods are in bloom. I might find a mushroom or two this weekend. It's time for those. The ride will begin at 10 a.m. on Saturday, April 29th at the Oil Springs Rescue Station. A soup-bean dinner will follow the trail ride. For more information you can visit the Johnson County Trail Town Committee Facebook page. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsey Dean.


First, do no harm. Who said that? Hippocrates. Actually, he didn't. The Hippocratic Oath, which is one of the mainstays of medicine, starts with first-do-no-harm, which expresses the principle of minimization, the principle of utility. This utilitarian philosophy says that before you try to fix things, make sure you are not making them worse. Ironically, Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, or the father of medicine period, didn't say this. It wasn't part of the Hippocratic Oath. It wasn't part of Hippocrates' writing. It was added after the introduction of modern science in the mid-19th century. First, do no harm. Some things are not just useless. They are worse than useless. They actually do harm. That is the title of my talk today. Worse than useless. Hippocrates was actually a big proponent of bloodletting. Bloodletting was a practice that started in the ancient Mediterranean region, that involved balancing the humors in the body by bleeding people out slowly. The idea was that the various fluids in the body need to be balanced, kind of like a hydrodynamic system. Before modern science started thinking of our body as a machine that is made of clockwork, which is the 20th and 19th century visualization of science, the ancients saw science as a matter of essences of humors, earth, fire, water, air. Part of the idea of bloodletting was that, if these things are out of balance, you need to release some blood to bring things into balance. This practice continued all the way through to the 19th century. One of the things I love is that one of the most famous victims of bloodletting was the founder of the United States, George Washington. He was one of the founding fathers.  He was a big fan of bloodletting as a medical practice. He invited his doctors to do a nice bloodletting. Over the next four days, they bled about seven pints of blood out of him. The historical record records this. Despite the treatment, he passed four days later. Some of us might say, because of the treatment, he died four days later. It is an irony that this practice continued for two and a half thousand years. Why is it important to remember this concept of do no harm? Unless you follow the scientific method, many of the common practices that we apply today are based not on science, but on superstition, anecdote, wishful thinking, righteous morality. One of those is financial surveillance and the system of know-your-customer and anti-money laundering rules. The modern system of banking, brought into being by the Bank Secrecy Act in the 1970s, is a creation that bears no scrutiny from science. It is based on the righteous moral thinking that bad people should not have access to money. As long as we trust those in authority to tell us who the bad people are, and assume they are not the bad people, then everything will work out. If you criticize this idea, you are not presented with facts, data, or science. You are accused of not being morally righteous enough to understand that we must, for all reasons, protect the children. Won't somebody please think of the children? Because there are criminals out there. There are bad people, and if bad people can use money, they might use it to do bad things. It is very difficult to prosecute the bad things, but it is a lot easier to prosecute the money. So we do it. Does it work? No. But if this practice was useless, that would be good, because it is not useless. It is worse than useless. In fact, it does enormous harm. Part of the reason that billions of people around the world have no participation in the world economy, or are financially excluded, is directly related to the fact that a closed financial system, where authority is given to few, to decide who is good and who is evil, to decide who should have access to money and who should not, and which starts with the fundamental idea of identity being a requirement for every endpoint of every transaction, is a system that will always exclude billions. In the age of the internet, we have come no further in terms of financial inclusion, and in fact, we are now backtracking.  Money laundering happens every day. But there are some who can money-launder without consequences. In our modern world, there is such a thing as a license to launder money. It is called a banking license. As long as you have one of these magic licenses, you can launder money all day long. Who is money-laundering? Of course. Conventional wisdom and common sense will tell you, of course, it is the banks. They have the money, they launder, obviously. If you actually look at the statistics, if you look at the data, this fact is shown again and again. Banks launder money. In fact, that is their main activity. They launder money for governments, for intelligence agencies that fund terrorism, they launder money for narco-traffickers. One of the hilarious examples of our modern world was a certain enormous bank that had modified... the bank teller windows in the northern border of Mexico, so they could precisely fit a Samsonite case. It was the favorite case of drug-money launderers, so that they could stuff cash through the window conveniently inside the Samsonite. They wouldn't have to even unpack it. Of course, in those days, the big drug cartels were making so much money, and they still are, that you don't count the money, you weigh it, because it is faster. Who has time to count a truck full of money if you can just calculate the net weight in dollars? Money-laundering is something that banks do on a routine basis. Every time they are caught, they pay a fine, no one goes to jail, and banking continues. This is a fundamental part of business, and it is rewarded with a series of incentives... that ensure that by playing these fake regulations, they get to get the competition out of the game. One of the reasons no one can compete with traditional banking using technology... is because the regulations ensure that they will not be given an opportunity. You must ask for permission first, and the answer is always no. Unless you can afford a banking license, the license to money launder, and the fines that come with that... as part of doing business, which banks can afford, because there is only one thing that banks do well, and that is make a lot of money. Worse than useless. The very basis of this model of modern finance is an idea that should be so up-parent to free people... as to be the topic of every conversation. We discuss the revelations from Snowden, the broad-based surveillance of all of our societies... based on the internet, and yet the elephant in the room, the thing we don't discuss, is that the form of most pervasive and most intrusive surveillance that exists... is the international network of totalitarian financial surveillance. Every time you use a debit card, every time you use a credit card, every time you use a bank account... every transaction gets funneled to every intelligence service and every government that has access to this network. When people criticize Bitcoin, they say it will enable the dark net. What is the dark net? Presumably the dark net is a network that is invisible to most of us, that operates on top of... or in parallel with the internet, and on which massive amounts of illegal activity happen. If that is the case, the dark net's name is echelon, prism, key score. Those are the names of the dark web. The dark net is operated by intelligence agencies because they are on a daily basis... committing massive crimes against human rights. They are orchestrating a totalitarian financial surveillance network that monitors everybody's transactions.   This system of totalitarian financial surveillance is the dark net. They don't fear the dark net, they just don't want us to have one too. Worse than useless, because this system ensures that two and a half billion people live in the world... with absolutely no access to financial services. Four billion people, if you count their families, and minimal access to the most basic financial services. If you really count the type of power banking that a Western person has, six billion people have much more limited access to that. This is what this is about. This is about the other six billion. Why does Bitcoin matter? Bitcoin enables us to build a system where we flip the traditional balance between secrecy and privacy. What is secrecy? What is privacy? Privacy is what I have. Not because someone gives it to me, but because I take it. And not because it was granted as a privilege, but because it is my human right as a human. I had it from birth. I will have it forever. And that is immediately suspect. Secrecy is the ability of a government that is supposed to be subservient to its voters, to operate for the consent of the governed, to instead bypass democratic control, to bypass auditability, to bypass accountability, so they can funnel billions of dollars into black projects... that fund terrorism, that fund drug lords. Who funds ISIS? Our tax money does. That is the uncomfortable truth. Not Bitcoin. Dollars. Rubles. You on. Money laundering is a government activity supported by banks. Terrorism financing is a government activity supported by banks. Yet they have the audacity to claim that the simple idea that people should be free to transact... and participate in a global economy and exercise their birthright of privacy... is going to cause the world to descend into chaos, mayhem, anarchy. What happens if people can transact anonymously? Nothing happens. For thousands of years, people were transacting anonymously. The greatest, most established, most private, transaction-free, peer-to-peer network of payments is called cash. We had it for thousands of years, and then suddenly in the 70s we decided this was dangerous. Instead, we needed to move to a world of totalitarian financial surveillance. That is what it is. It is all-encompassing. It is all-powerful. It is all-secret. That is what the word totalitarian means. It is fascist. Yet somehow we have been persuaded that for the sake of the children, we must operate in a world... where every one of our transactions is visible, but every one of their transactions is private. I say that is the wrong way around. I say we have to flip that equation, and we have to flip it fast. The reason the world is in chaos is partly because of that.  Martin Luther King said, peace is not the absence of war, it is the presence of justice. Justice starts with the assertion of human rights. What we are doing with Bitcoin is not just playing with money, getting rich, trying to create the next ICO, the next whale, the next overclass of rich people who are going to lord over everybody else. At least that is not what I am interested in. I am interested in creating peace through justice. Justice starts with the ability of every human being on this planet to be able to transact freely, with privacy, with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Uncensible, unstoppable, anonymous. You think the fight over block size was bad? You think a few people trying to disagree with trolls and sockpuppets, social media, and throwing money around to influence opinion on both sides was bad? There are people right now who are working on the next level of Bitcoin, that includes zero-knowledge range-proofs and confidential transactions, massive-scale coin joins, onion-routed payment channels, which are completely anonymous and untraceable and unstoppable. People ask me, what do you think is the biggest problem with Bitcoin? Is it scaling? Is it fraud? Is it centralization of mining? No, it is that we don't have enough anonymity, we don't have enough privacy, and we better fix that before this gets too popular. Adoption of a platform with insufficient privacy is extremely dangerous. If you are the only one doing anonymous transactions, you are not anonymous. What we need is ubiquity of privacy. There should not be an option that I check in my Samurai wallet that says, use Tor. It should be default on every wallet every time. There should be no transaction that isn't confidential. Here is the interesting thing. If you ask the banks whether they want anonymous transactions, they absolutely do. The distributed ledger technology is being built with anonymity. They are using range-proofs and zero-knowledge solutions, mixers, and confidential transactions. They are trying to build confidential and anonymous systems for settlement. Why? Because they can't trust the motherfuckers sitting across the table from them, who run the competitive bank. If they know what is happening on the network, they will front-run every transaction. They will pump and dump every asset. Why? Because that is what they do every single day. Of course, since they can't trust each other, they understand the need for privacy. They will build their private blockchains, their clearing and settlement networks, and they will make absolutely sure that they have confidentiality, privacy, anonymity, encryption, and deniability. They will make sure they have all of those things so they can continue business as usual. They will achieve their secrecy. The question now is, will we get ours? Will we assert our human right to privacy? Will we use this technology not to enslave the world through a totalitarian financial surveillance system, but to free the world? Will we do something that will first do no harm? Thank you.


My brothers and sisters we're at ML King Park and we're doing the fiduciary thing and that is to make sure that youngsters and youth and persons are adequately fed during the week. Free lunches are being given out to our youth and children and young adults. This effort of course combined with the efforts of our city and all of the things that are happening in this city of ours, we wanted to make sure that folk are nourished, that they are cared for and that as a city we continue to be at the edge at the tip of the spear. I think it's going to impact the community in a profound way. I think that the city of Columbia along with our faith-based partners in USDA as well, I think that they'll be proud that we're thinking about our young people, we're thinking about their needs, we're thinking about their desires. You know we have circumstances surrounding our school districts as they return to school in some form and you know our goal is to fill the gap, fill the gap, fill this need in the interim as we make the transition back to school and we know that there's a need in the community so we're very thankful for the partnership and opportunity to do this today. We thank you all for being here, we continue to strive for excellence and we continue to strive for the things that are necessary just to see that our community continues to flourish.


There is something called as mysticism, not because there is such a thing. Because human beings are determined to live in ignorance, there is mysticism. All that they're ignorant of, they will label it as mystery, isn't it? There's nothing mysterious about it, it's simply there. It is your limitations which make something mysterious, isn't it so? It's your inability to grasp which makes something mysterious, not the nature of what it is. So, beyond darkness, what is all that you cannot grasp is darkness for you. And that's the whole thing. What you can grasp is so small, if you know a thousand galaxies, still it is too small in the cosmic scape of existence. And all that you do not know invariably is darkness to you. So, this vast space of darkness, darkness is not a substance, darkness is not a thing, absence of light is darkness, absence of perception is darkness, absence of knowing is darkness. So, that is the ultimate thing because that is too much, that is not not to you, so it's dark. So, darkness does not mean a thing, it is not a thing. It is something that's beyond your perception, so it's dark. So, all that is dark and beyond your perception, we say this is Shiva because it's a limitless expanse, a limitless expanse of ignorance. But there is no limitless expanse of knowledge, knowledge is always limited. It can be large but still very limited. Only ignorance can be limitless. So, Shiva is also referred to as Bholenath, the ignorant one because he's the Lord of Ignorance. How's that? You don't like it? You don't like it, isn't it? He should be the Lord of knowing. No, he's also that, he's Gnaneshwar. But that's a small aspect of him. But in real sense, he's the Lord of Ignorance because that is the largest scape in the existence is ignorance and that's darkness. Oh, who would want to seek it? If you only, if you only explode your ignorance, knowledge will be born, isn't it? If you explode knowledge, nothing new will be born. Just recycling of rubbish will happen. Only if you explode ignorance, knowing can be born.


I'm going to say an objection, you guys are going to overcome it? People ask, what is the master clothes or similar? And I'm going to work you guys to death until you get it down. But he says, I'm going to sell my car out, right? I take sales people from all levels, managers, GMs, who would increase their skills and go to a whole new level from closing, negotiations, overcoming objections, war tracks, not just closing, but closing for all the money. All the money.  Does this sound familiar to you? I'm grinding every single day. How can I keep doing this? I'm working 80 hours a week. My paychecks aren't consistent. I'm broken. I'm on zero. I got bills due and I'm in the freaking hole. It's me. I can't do this anymore. I'm leaving. Nothing has changed. I am done. The master clothes or seminar is the number one sales training program for sales people, managers and GMs. We meet as an elite team. We become family the night before we train. Guys, I love this day. This is the day that we increase your production overnight and we train hard in the conference room. I'm going to teach you the deadliest skill, the skill that will allow you to become a $300,000, $400,000, or even $500,000 employee. I will teach you how to close anybody. I'll teach you how to be like Alcatraz when we train together where no one escapes. You will never fear an objection again. When you go home, you will have the skill that will be the unfair advantage over you and your competition.  So I go all in. I give everything that I have to change your life forever and send you back home a completely different person. This is a level of training that you cannot get anywhere or from anyone else. You get to have access to a training program that guys like me never have, which means you get to have success so much faster if you're committed. Thousands and thousands of salespeople in over 27 countries have joined the Master Poser Seminar. We get hundreds of texts each day that pour into our office telling us that men and women have changed their lives forever with the skill they have learned from the Master Poser Seminar. The greatest email I receive are the ones that come from the families, from the women, the wives of the men who say thank you. Thank you for returning my man back home. I've never seen him as much drive and cash before. It's amazing. None of this would have been possible.


Hello, my name is Nico Tripsovich. I'm at the Archaeological Research Facility at UC Berkeley. This is part of the practical workshop series, and I'll be discussing bringing in data into QGIS from the GPS slash GNSS unit or a total station in the form of tabular data. I'll be discussing the coordinate systems that you might run into and how to save out these data into a shapefile or geo package. And then I'll also discuss site specific grid coordinate systems that archaeologists often use. In a subsequent episode that follows on this one, I'll be making a very simple map and showing you how to symbolize the map and label it and then lay it out in the with a scale bar and legend and export to PDF. So let's go ahead and get started. The two common coordinate systems that archaeologists work in. One is for sort of regional scale data, and these would be decimal degrees or DMS coordinate system data. Here's an example of how these look for Berkeley, California. You want to determine if the data that you are bringing in is in decimal degrees or DMS that is degrees, minutes and seconds. So decimal degrees will have a decimal point in it. DMS sometimes has a space or gaps between the three groups of numbers. And there's 60 minutes and a degree and 60 seconds and a minute. So it's base 60 and makes it a little harder to do math with these computers tend to be better with decimal degrees. The pros of this system are that it works globally and it's good for regional scale data. However, one of the drawbacks is that it's not linked WGS84 is not linked to a particular continental plate. So it's not as accurate as a local data. So it's recommended that you not use this for high precision applications, such as a detailed site map. The other issue is that these are not meters. These are angular units or degrees. So you can't take measurements in degrees. For example, the width and length of an archaeological feature you would want to be in meters. So a commonly used coordinate system for especially for local scale maps like a site map would be UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator. This projection and coordinate system is metric. And the one that's commonly used here in Northern California is North American Datum 1983 based with the Epoch 2011 update. And the EPSG code for this one is 1639. So an example of UTM coordinates are Easting. Noted six digits before the decimal point and seven digits before the decimal point in Northern. So you can tell the Eastings from Northings. Eastings are numbered meters to the east of the west edge of the zone that you're currently in. So you would always specify the zone like UTM 10 in this case. And then Northings are seven digits because that's the distance from the equator to your point. So that's a long distance often since the seven digits. Pros of this system are that it's high precision. And so you can take measurements in meters and you can easily calculate areas, hectares, meters squared directly. One of the cons of this system is that you have to know what zone you're in and that there's edge effects. That is what happens when you're working right on the zone here at Santa Barbara, California. It's right on the zone on the line between zone 10 and zone 11. Well, one thing I've heard about dealing with working right on the zone boundary is that while it's optimal to use the zone that falls in, if you're right on the line, consider working in the zone to the left or the west because if you were to work in the one to the east and you went too far west, you could get into negative eastings, which is not good. Better to have big numbers in the east end than to have negative by going to the west of the appropriate zone. The other issue with these local coordinate systems is that they have many different datums. So you'll want to use a datum that's plate fixed. That is, in North America where we can use NAD 83 and that's fixed to the North American plate and that allows higher precision accuracy measurements. Be aware that these are also regularly updated because the plate tectonics these plates aren't fixed and on the surface of the earth. So there's a new series of coordinate systems coming out in 2022. So we'll be updating soon and ETM is forever being updated. One place you can look for information about these different coordinate systems is EPSG.io is a website with a long list of the different coordinate systems and projections all referenced by their lookup table number EPSG by EPSG code. Another issue I wanted to mention here is that there's a common approach used by archaeologists and it's actually pretty common in the CAD world as well is to use a arbitrary coordinate system that is a local coordinate system where instead of zero zero like in the decimal degree system, zero zero is the equator and latitude and the longitude of zero goes to Greenwich. So it's connected to our time zone system. In a local grid coordinate system, zero zero zero could just be your site data and so there's pros and cons to this approach. An advantage to this approach is that you have smaller numbers to record. So if you're writing down your numbers, if you have to write them on tags or in the notes for some reason, you're smaller than the full UTM or a high precision decimal degrees. And another advantage is that you can describe the site in great detail without revealing where it is because you can describe intersite measurements and the features of the site referencing this local data without revealing location. One of the disadvantages is that in order to compare with other people with other research, you've got to convert these data to a GIS, I mean to a global real-world coordinates. And the other issue is that if you want to bring in layers into your GIS and you're working in some arbitrary coordinate system, those other layers like satellite injury or data from others, digital turning, model data, those won't be referenced to your local data unless you re-project them into your local data. So that's a disadvantage of a site-specific grid. So let's go ahead and go right into... Oh, I wanted to mention the one more thing here. We have an example of site-specific grids. So you could... You could have your datum be zero, zero, zero, right, in your site-specific grid, but you don't want to work in negative numbers. So if you start at zero, zero, zero, everything to the left or the west and everything to the south of your datum will be negative coordinates. And another issue is you could mix up your Easteans and Northeans quite easily because they're close in number. So people will often use different ranges. And I'll go into detail here on these concepts. So here's an example of the datum right here. And we're using zero East and zero North in our coordinate system. These are 10 meter grid intervals. So as I mentioned, the problem with zero zero is that anything to the south or the west is going to have zero negative coordinates. Like this point will have negative coordinates, right? So a common solution to that is just don't start at zero. Start at 100. So here you are, zero, 100 East and 100 North. And these coordinates are now 90, in the 80s or 90s, instead of negative numbers. Another issue, however, is that you can still mix up your Easteans and Northeans. So instead of having to keep track and write an E and an N after each number, why don't you just start in different ranges? So 200 in the Eastean and 400 in the Northean. And then here you are to the west and the south. And you're in a completely different range of numbers. Now you could use 100, 200, for example, as your Eastean and Northean. But then when you go under 100, you've only got two digits. And if you're keeping track and making sure all your digits are present, it might be better for clarity to have to have your coordinates always be three digits. So people will start at 200, 400. So with that, let's go ahead and pop into QGIS. Well, first I want to look at data from a GPS. So this is a typical export from GPS software. Some GPS will export directly to shapefile or to something that a GIS can read in. But if your instrument is providing comma-separated values, then you might open the CSV file in a program like Excel and see the contents. I want to quickly mention that this is from an MLID reach. And it's providing both UTMs here and that long. So that's convenient because whatever system I'm using in the GIS, I can import the appropriate columns. If we keep looking to the right, it also tells us, those were UTM, the coordinate system name column tells us that it's UTM 10 North with the vertical data of 1988. So another thing to quickly mention is that some software like ArcMap will struggle to bring these data in because of the spaces in the first row. This becomes the field names for your spatial data in the GIS and you can't have spaces in field names. So if I was bringing this into something like ArcMap, I would remove spaces and symbols just to make sure it comes in without issue. All right. So let's go ahead and bring these data into QGIS 3.22. If you go to, first of all, a new project here, you'll note that the coordinate system provided is 4326. That's the global decimal degrees, 1984. Coordinate system, and if we click this, we can see that it applies globally. But look, QGIS is warning us that it has a limited accuracy of about best two meters because it's not a plate fixed. It's not plate fixed. So we should use a UTM plate fixed coordinate system like UTM 10 North. That's appropriate here in California. I've simply memorized 6339 and 6340 is the one just to ease here because those are commonly encountered these and just memorize the EPSG code and I try to get all my layers into that coordinate system to make sure they all line up properly. So let's go ahead and add this layer, add layer, add limited text, click the dot dot dot, browse to your comma separated values table, and maybe just please because I had it open in the other site in Excel. So don't try to open it into programs at once. Okay, so here it is. It recognizes it's a CSV because it has spatial coordinates. I can bring them in as point coordinates. If it didn't have spatial attributes, you could still bring it in as a database as far as a spreadsheet but with no geometry. It automatically recognizes latitude and longitude and northern and eastern. So I'm going to say change over the X field, that is east to west is going to be east. Change in the Y direction is going to be north. Z will be elevation. M is our linear referencing numbers that we're not using here and it picked up that the coordinate system in the right column there. It knows that we're in the Tm plan north. Also I already know the project is still 4326 but when I bring in data the first layer you bring in to GIS, we update the coordinate system to the first layer you bring in. It's changed it to 16P9 because there's only one layer and that's the coordinate system of that layer. The first thing that people often do is want to make sure that their points are curing in the right position on the surface of the earth. A very popular plugin for QGIS is called quick map services. I recommend everybody install this. It has a number of plugins. I would search for this term and install it, check it and click install. Let's look at what is under the web menu here. There's many layers. If you've just installed it you probably only have a handful of layers. Two or three. To have more layers available, go to settings and choose more services and click get contributed path and it will load up many more layers including this handy Google hybrid layer which has basically imagery labeled bund in. It looks like my points are in the right place. I'm going to turn on I have the styling pane on the right over here. Turned on by clicking this icon. I'm going to change the color to be more visible and I'm going to turn on labels here. You can see site data and the number five is hard to read against the tree. So I'm going to turn on the buffer. So now you can see the site data. Everything is coming properly. However, if I hover on here I can see that the path is still, if you look at the second and third line there, it's pointing to that CSV file on my hard drive. So that's not a great way to manage your data in the long run because if something happens to that CSV, if it gets moved, this will break the link. So first, after making sure it's in the right place, the second thing people typically do is see export, see features. When I right clicked it or option click on a map, save features as and you can do a shape file or a geo package or any number of formats. Let's do a shape file here, file name, I'm going to call this target, see the term targets on a nearby property and it knows the coordinate reference system is 1629. If you click this you can see that it's relevant here in California. So there it came in and it inherited, well it doesn't have the label, that was this, so go ahead and turn on labels on this one as well and remove the CSV. So the other thing I wanted to demonstrate in this workshop is that the issue of site-specific coordinates. So in this Excel spreadsheet, arbitrary coordinate training that CSV, I've got an example of a site that's in Easting 2000, Northern 4000. Now the example I showed in my slides was Easting 200, Northern 200, 400. So 2004,000, you might do that in a bigger site, right, but where you want to have the space to map things that are a kilometer or two away from the data. So that's why I use these larger numbers. So how could you bring this into the GIS because these are referencing my arbitrary or my site-specific data, right? So there's two ways you could do that. One is to bring it into any metric coordinate system in the GIS. So if I brought this into UTM 10 North, I think it would work, but the strange thing is that it would be down by the equator, right, because 4000, Northern is only four kilometers from the equator. So it's basically going to be at the bottom of my zone 10. And I could move that to, I could bring in all my data and it would be down by the equator and I could just use the move features tool in QGIS to slide it up to my present space. But in terms of geodesy, that's a little strange because UTM zones are not equal width. They converge to the north. And so there'll be subtle error in my northing if I go ahead and do that. That's the simplest way, probably, but to move it graphically from the equator up. But for greater accuracy, I will use another method, which is to simply do a little math and excel before bringing it in. So let's go ahead and open the table that has the drone targets. And here's my, remember my site datum, UTM's is right here. So let's go ahead and bring that into my arbitrary table. And what I'm trying to do is make this site datum fall on this point in UTM space and then use the same conversion with all my archaeological features that I mapped relative to this site date. So the simple way to do that is to just do the math here. So let's call this one easting two. And what does it take to convert this easting of 2000 to this easting? Well, it's basically equals 2000 plus, I'm going to type these values minus 2000. So five, six, six, one, six. Oh, and I need to subtract 2000. So I'll do five, six, four. Visually compare this is the same as this. So that's good. Same with northing. I'll do equals 4000 plus four, one, and then I have to subtract 4000. So we'll do eight, seven, three, one, oh, I think there might be something beyond the decimal. Let's do that. And then check, oh yeah, there's a point one there. One. And that works now that the elevation might be a little two. Elevation is only 137 above above sea level. So let's use Excel to do the math for this. So I want this to be, what is it going to take to make a thousand line up with 137.5 while just do 1000 minus 137.5 is eight, six, three, two, five. So equals minus, no, I guess, yeah, that should be negative eight, six, three, two, five. So now that same transformation, we'll just do fill down. And all these points are now adjusted relative to data. Now this is working because I used, I used true north in this coordinate system. And true north here. So everything, so the math is quite easy. I wouldn't, I wouldn't try to do this if I hadn't used true north. If I hadn't used true north, what I would probably do is bring in the datum and then bring everything in relative to the datum, but then be prepared to pivot around the datum in QGIS. Okay, so let's remove these columns, we don't want to remove them. I'm going to save it. Excel doesn't like saving to CSV because it loses a lot, loses the formatting and loses additional tabs. There's a number of things that are lost, but in this case, I think we're good. Close this. And then let's go ahead and bring this into QGIS, demonstrate. Once again, it's comma separated, but we're going to bring in the arbitrary coordinates training. Remember, it was called Easteen, so you can see right here, Easteen two north and two elevation two, what we're going to use because these are real world coordinates. Add and it looks like they came in. We can, we can test it by looking at the site datum. There's the site datum. Turn this on and off and it looks like they're in the same spot. So that's about it for this workshop. In my follow up workshop, I'm going to show you how to draw lines and polygons, a little more symbology on these, and then lay out a map for demonstrating scale and legend and expert. Thanks for watching.


G'day people. Welcome to Bootlossophy. My name is Tech. I come to you from Wadjuk country in today's Western Australia And I recognize the traditional owners of this land and the elders and leaders past and present Today I'm reviewing this pair of well-worn RM Williams comfort craftsman Chelsea boots in chestnut yearling leather Hey, did you know this year is RM Williams's 90th anniversary? This is RM Williams's comfort craftsman boot one of the 11 current styles of Chelsea boots that they make for men RM Williams was founded by Reginald Murray Williams in 1932. So this year is their 90th anniversary year RM was a swag man or itinerant laborer in the outback sheep and cattle stations of the north of South Australia In the Flinders Rangers and he learned leather working skills from a mustring horseman called Dolomik Yep, this is the land of people with names like Dolomik and Crocodile Dundee. Hello. My name is Bootlossophy Tech Anyway, RM took to leather work like a duck to water. So he decided to make a living making leather goods He started with making saddles mainly and made up enough money to start a shop at 5 Percy Street in the suburb of Prospect in Adelaide The Address is still embroidered on the boots pulled had today and is now the site of the RM Williams Heritage Museum From there, RM continued to make leather goods But his most popular product turned out to be his boots Sort after by farmers and livestock station hands as a work and riding boot What set them apart was the construction from a single piece of leather which obviously enhanced durability with only one scene But it also created a timeless clean look The company grew in Prospect over the years making RM a rich man His boots started to be worn by gentlemen who had never worked on a farm and by the 1980s was worn by city bankers and stockbrokers wearing suits and off work in casual gear In 1989 RM Williams opened a London store and in the 1990s it took off internationally RM had sold out by then and the company changed hands several times across the 2010s Including a stint with LVMH Louis Vuitton's luxury conglomerate brand a couple of years ago It was brought back into private Australian ownership by mining magnet Andrew Forrest As I said, this is their comfort craftsman one of 11 styles of men's Chelsea boots made by RM Williams I assume you know that the Chelsea boot was a design from the mid 1800s But what you may not know is that Chelsea boots were apparently made for Queen Victoria and by her personal bootmaker as a comfortable walking and riding boot Considering ladies boots in those days comprised of hooks and laces and eyelets all the way up the calf I CMO Vicky loved simply pulling these on and off While they've been used as riding and work boots from that time Their popularity didn't take off until the 1950s and 60s when they were associated with pop music bands like the Beatles The swinging 60s were centered on the King's Road in the London sub above Chelsea and they became stuck with the name Chelsea boots Actually in those days, they were also known as Beetle Boots for a time Apart from the craftsman and its different geysers RM Williams also make other Chelsea boots called the Macquarie the Arnhem, the Gammon, the Gardner, the Turnout, the Lachlan, the Sydney, the Santa Fe, and the Tambo And the Yearling that's the Yearling style with a high riding heel not the type of leather They differ by shaft height shape of the toe Heels and the shape of the goring. That's the elastic sides on top of the different designs Of course, they make each of those designs with different leathers and use different types of soles At the time of filming this they actually show 63 different makeups on their Australian website This boot though is based on the craftsman design a Chelsea boot 6 inches high from top of the heel to the top of the shaft a block heel a rubber sole a Knife-shaped goring and a slim chisel-shaped toe. I Also have a pair of craftsmen with a leather sole just called the craftsman, which I've reviewed here This one is called the comfort craftsman because it has a medium thick rubber sole It also has a comfort lining inside basically a soft foam cavity filled midsole That's all there is to it. A third version is called the dynamic flex craftsman Which has a leather outsole with padded rubber inserts in the middle of the foot pad and a removable arch support insole Then there's the fourth more expensive version called the signature craftsman made of veal calf skin and with a red leather sole a brass logo in the sole under the arch and it's signed on the sole by the by the maker The craftsman is a very sleek looking boot that single piece of leather is formed around a slim last so that it has a Clean look without the stitching you otherwise see under the goring or on the vamp joining different parts of the boot I understand it's not easy cutting that one piece of flat leather and then lasting it into shape So it can't be easy to make Because it's a 270 degree Goodyear welt more of that later the line from the ankle down to the heel is very elegant and Continuous no chunky ledge formed by the welt at the back Much to the disbelief of Americans You can wear it with a suit that's done all the time in Australia and nobody bats an eyelid That's because of its slim last and it's in a smooth dressy leather You'll see people in the financial and legal districts of Australian cities Wearing rms with their suits with or without ties This means of course you can also wear them in business casual situations with non matching pants and a blazer or Dress them down a bit with dressy dark jeans in a sports coat Or the iconic bush look is a pair of light-colored moleskin jeans and a short sleeve shirt The slim Chelsea design is very versatile Which means you can also wear them with light wash and faded jeans along with work shirts or polo shirts and very casual tops I have worn these in my office in the old days when everyone wore a suit and tie And I have taken them up to the tropical north out bush or you might say into the out back which we don't Once I was wearing these while I was crossing a river in a tinny small tin boat Which capsized and I had to swim to the riverbank in these Dried them out. No worse for wear Obviously people who wear them on cattle stations. That's ranches to Americans. They wear them hard on horseback or just in the dust and mud versatile and tough interesting fact they are so sleep yet tough and Capable of being shine up to the nines that they were once issued as parade boots to the Australian defense force If we dive into how these are constructed Let's start from the bottom and come up. I said before these are 270 degree good year welter Good year welting is one way of connecting the uppers to the soul It starts with a strip of leather that goes around the edge of the boot that's sewn to the inside of the boot Then the soul is attached and sewn to the welt So the soul is never attached directly to the uppers. They're both attached to the welt at different places In this way the welt forms a moisture barrier between soul and uppers so that good year welting is technically More water resistant than some other methods I say technically because in normal wear if you don't go for a swim after your boat capsizes I doubt you see a great difference just walking in the rain In this case, this is a 270 degree good year welt at boot That means the welt goes three quarters of the way from one side around the arch to the other side The heel is grouped direct to the uppers and the insole construction This produces that nice line from ankle to heel that I talked about earlier. In any case the welt is Incredibly narrow you can hardly see the stitching because it seems to be really tucked in right near the uppers The stitch goes through the outsole in a cut channel which produces which protects the stitch from wear The sole here is an oil resistant rubber that's molded with a kind of Pimply feel to the bottom for grip. It's flat no lugs. No studs. No wavy lines Yet perfectly grippy in any situation I've ever been in from beer spilt pub floors to slippery supermarket tiles to wet grass To mud and to sand If there is a leather midsole, I can't see it between the rubber outsole and the welt Inside is a cork filling and then in this comfort version There's a foam insole filler then a leather insole and a leather padded heel pad Inside the cork filling is a fiberglass shank a shank is a piece of hard material in an ice lolly stick shape That bridges the gap between heel and ball of the foot. It provides arch support and torsional stability when you're on rough ground The fiberglass shank is airport friendly. It doesn't set off metal detectors, which is a good thing The heels and toes are lightly structured to keep your shape and in the case of the heel to keep your heels snug in there The one thing about Chelsea boots is that you have to get the fit right so that they don't keep sliding off your feet every time You take a step which I'll talk about next and this heel cup helps you keep it there The leather is a full grain yearling leather in this case That means the calf is killed before it reaches one year old It's very soft and supple yet tough and shows the grain very attractively through this chestnut brown reddish dye this color is definitely not brown and Chestnut describes it well because it has hints of reddishness and even in sunlight a little browny burgundy Now these boots are over 10 years old So you can see how it creases or in fact doesn't crease for that amount of time. I have worn this hard To me the creasing is less than I'd expect for what I've thrown these into boat cruises included at the top of the shaft Are two pull tabs? I've been asked by American friends why there are two pull tabs I found that one pull tab you still struggle with using it to pull your boots on With two pull tabs you can open the neck of the boot to slip your feet in and then pull them up a much smoother operation in my opinion Anyway, most Australian Chelsea's these Blunt stones red backs. They all have two pull tabs The gawring is cut in a knife shape Which distinguishes it from some of the other styles and it's quite firm. It takes a bit to wear the elastic out and get it flabby That's important because the gawring is what will snap back on your ankles to keep them snug inside Because that's the one thing about Chelsea's that you must get right the fit around your ankles heels and instep Because you can't cinch up any laces to tighten the boot on your foot Your heels need to be held snugly the instep has to be snug around the top of your foot and Your ankles from the arch to at least the ankle bone needs to be held in the boot It's okay to have a roomy rounded toe box But if the fit around your ankles is flabby you find the boot slipping off every time you take a step I only have one pair of cowboy boots and the fit principle is really the same You want to pull them on with some resistance and then hear that satisfying plop when your foot slips in In the case of RM Williams Somehow they seem to have a last that fits most people's feet around the ankles if you buy the right size So let's talk about fit and sizing RM Williams uses UK sizing numbers now just for US viewers UK and therefore RM Williams size numbers are one number down from US My UK true size is seven and a half G which translates to US eight and a half D as my true US size But here I'll stick to the UK numbers So about 30 years ago when I bought my first pair of RM Williams I measured 7g on the brannock But as I got older and the more I moved into my 50s and now into my 60s The bones in my feet splayed out as you do Today, I'm just over seven and a half and RM Williams sizing on the brannock device But more importantly, I'm now a smidge over average width I find that RM Williams have a very slim last and with my brannock being a little over seven and a half in length and A little over G in width. I find I have to size up to an 8g a half up from brannock That's a US 9d when I normally take an 8d US in American heritage boots half down from true I bought these when I was still experimenting with my RM Williams sizes. These are Seven and a half in H width. I can just wear a seven and a half in length But because of the chisel toe even with these wider fits my little toes feel squashed In RM Williams sizing. I'm definitely an 8g. So just be a bit careful when you're sizing at the very least stay true to size Now apart from the squeezy toes in these in seven and a half H That's my bad. There was no real break and required The leather is soft and flexible the rubber saw with I guess no thick leather midsole didn't need any break in The rubber block heel and the padded leather heel pad inside means it absorbs shock when you're walking or running or swimming Before I talk about cost I'll mention leather care Up until a couple of years ago, RM Williams sourced their leather from Australian, US, New Zealand and French tanneries Since then they have refocused an Australian source leather Nodding I guess to supply chain issues during the pandemic. We have a very healthy cattle and sheep industry. So supplies and the problem I don't actually know how they tan this yearling leather But it is full grain and quite waxy smooth on the surface Very smooth and polished even after a soaking they drive with that finish intact. So I think it's a pretty tough leather RM Williams make their own conditioners and polishes and I'll link to them in the description below Just keep scrolling down to the bottom There are videos on their website say to condition every four to six weeks I'm inclined to think that conditioning them that frequently may be over caring for them And maybe it's just marketing to get you to use more of their product That said, I really don't think you have to stress about caring for them Just rehydrate them with a good smooth leather conditioner when they feel they need it and otherwise keep them clean If you take me as a guide I wear these all the time in urban and country situations and I conditioned them about three or four times a year Not counting any special cleaning if they've been in the mud or in a river I have Aboriginal friends who live in the bush and who work in pastoral stations who clean and condition them once a year if that and that's despite them complaining to me about how expensive they've become You can polish them if you want if you do want to polish them I recommend a cream polish rather than a wax polish just so that you don't leave a coat of wax on the leather And you keep that leather clean and breathable. I have mirror shine the toes and heels of my black craftsman But that's because I wear those mainly with a suit Now let's talk about price and value. Not always the same thing. I First bought RM Williams boots when they were only $300 Aussie. They're now 595 Australian That's a lot of money in the Australian boot scene Okay, we don't make that many boots in Australia And if you're looking at RM Williams, you need to discount the sort of rough TPU sort work boots like red back and blunt stones That's a whole different class of boots So for a price comparison, you need to look at imported boots Red-winged Chelsea sell for around 500 Aussie dollars. You can order miem in Chelsea's for about 400 dollars Cheaper dress Chelsea's from high street or mall shops are up to couple hundred Aussie dollars So rms are at the top of the price food chain RM Williams make their boots in South Australia Now they have outsourced some of their production of clothing and bags and accessories overseas But the boots are still made here Which goes some way to explaining the cost because labour is not cheap in Australia, especially skilled labour And you have to say QC is very high Having owned six pairs of RM Williams boots over the years I can honestly say I've never never found a fault or an imperfection on any of them Whether from new or after decades of wear nothing goes wrong with them And you have to say the choice of letters is outstanding from car after yearling And yes, you can get kangaroo or chinchilla, but you pay more But I have to say in the back of my mind I wonder what extra costing is put on because of the name and the reputation of these boots In marketing there is a thing called value pricing where you price a product Not only on what it costs you to make but also on the perceived value Think of ladies Gucci handbags So are these worth it? When I bought this particular pair they were under $400 Today, same boot Another couple of hundred dollars You know as much as I love RM's I'm probably not getting another one except when they're on sale All right, I think the government's about to take it with my passport so I need to stop now And there you have it That's what I think of the RM Williams comfort craftsman in chestnut yearling I hope you enjoyed the review If you did I have plenty more reviews to bring to you So do me a favor click on the like and subscribe buttons and help me grow my channel Until the next boot I bring to you take care and I'll see you soon


Heya Jay! This is Megan with Oxmore Toyota. I just wanted to send this quick video greeting just to personally introduce myself. It has come to my attention that you're in the market for a new 2016 Toyota Prius. When you can, go ahead and give me a call. You can reach me at<PHONE_NUMBER> and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Bye!


Trying to go natural Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Time flies. It's that time again for Your favorite one of my favorite videos for the year, which is my Black Friday predictions deals What to get what to look for tips tricks Sales get the best from your Black Friday when it comes to natural hair products black owned All natural type brands that I deal with so this is just me this claim on this claim I'm telling you what I think the sale numbers will be Usually they may change some of them may change slightly, but this is kind of around what I think they'll be so I may be wrong Don't quote me. This is just me guessing I could be wrong this claim on this claim Let's get into the video. I do have some game changing news for you guys I have good news bad news and game changing news I guess we'll see soon very soon what all of that is about But yeah, let's get started. Let's start with the game changer. I feel like we need some fancy music Because This year most of the brands went up like their free shipping over amount went up to pass my limit So basically all the major brands I buy firm Sultanical She sent it pill origin Gorgeously kinky all of them went up to free shipping over a hundred dollars, which for me I love them. I love y'all if it was even 60 dollars and I I didn't have so much stuff because like I have a whole lot of stuff now So I don't need anything first of all really I don't I can survive a year without buying anything I have so much stuff so between never needing anything And between just the amount for free shipping almost doubling because I think it was like 60 dollars before Or at least a few years ago. It was 60 dollars now. It's like a hundred dollars And I of course I understand why the prices went up Shipping prices have gone up in terms of getting our products to us like usps spedx everybody has raised their prices Pathy material costs have gone up on everything So I understand the price is going up But of course me as a consumer have to kind of stick to my budget and figure out how that works for my budget And the big game changing thing that that brings about for me Is that I'll no longer be trying to buy enough to get free shipping So usually I would buy at least one to two extra products from each brand Just for the free shipping because basically one product Is the cost of shipping and the other product is like okay getting a product So it always kind of made sense to buy those extra two products to get free shipping And I will not be doing that anymore and on top of that with me not needing that much stuff and me not trying for free shipping I really think that this year we're going to see a lot more mini walls from the eye for myself So instead of me buying eight things you may see a lot more three or four things So that's the game changer before I would be like, okay, let me get free shipping Let me just get all this stuff my whole methodology has changed now. I'm like, okay What is it? I really really want and then of course Some half flat rate shipping like honeys have made half flat rate shipping at a point I'm not sure if they still do but some you'll see half flat rate shipping others don't So it's going to be a lot of juggling in your cat or in my cat Okay, I added this shipping back up by seven dollars taking back out So what I'm going to buy is going to be less I'm going to have a lot more to do with shipping and shipping Increments than before and I would pretty much just go at it and pretty much get everything I want Plus an extra two for the free shipping. So it used to be a big free for all now. It's going to be a lot more Carefully considered unlimited, I guess which is game changing for me and for you as well I'm thinking don't assume it's going to be like free shipping over something attainable unless I'm just always this cool with you in which case adopt me But think about how that's going to change your plans for this black friday. So without further ado, let's actually get started Y'all know right now. I'm also going by the big sales the big three sales Generally, I'm buying like 60% off and off if I really like the brand But mostly a nice 60 50% off range is where you'll find me and that's what I'm going to be passing on to you Now so of course anytime we're talking about sales and great deals We have to start with honey's handmade because they just go mad every year So I'm expecting to see that again this year. I'm expecting to see like that number 65% off show up somewhere I think last time she has 65% off just for a few hours on black friday So definitely be attention check your mail a lot of these brands are still posting on instagram and everything But you really want to be subscribed to the mailing list like that's the only way to really get Stuff if certain items tend to sell out or like this if they have like really tiny ranges You just got to be on the ball. So yeah mailing lists are a big thing A big tip or trick for black friday get on their mailing list if you're interested in the brand And get on honey's handmade mailing list because if you check black friday evening to see what sale they had It might done had missed the 65% and you may be on 55 45 or something like that quick recommendations I think most of her deconditioners you can't go wrong with I think that's the main thing that I would recommend from her But I haven't had any super big problem with any of her stuff minus the one dc would outslip Your can check that video, but minus that one pretty much everything else was fair to find No issue. I'm at 65% off. Yeah. I think even me would be getting some greedy buys don't need Still have on his hand me 65% off my gone buying. I think even me that would be the situation. So yeah So then down the list we have so tonicals, which is traditionally like the 50% off of black friday I'm wondering if she might even up at this year, but I don't think she will Because there's a lot more companies hitting our 50% off when she just started doing this So maybe five years ago. She was like the only 50% offer on my radar But the other companies have kind of crept up from 35 40 45 50 and they kind of met her So I don't think she's gonna go higher, but that's where she's at now in terms of sales I'm still calling her first because she used to be the top with 50% off But a lot of brands have met her and again, that's a great brand I want to say pretty much anything. You should be pretty much safe. The nutsauce Isn't my favorite some people like it and some people hear what I like. So pretty much so tonicals You should like something and go for it. It's a pretty safe to say you're probably like what you get The other three 50% offers basically she sent it. She sent an e and she sent a t Uh, she sent a killer original gorgeously kinky. I expect them all to be 50% off Y'all know I love she sent it. I have like a whole shelf where she sent it right now I don't really need anything, but I'll be buying to support and Because it's black friday, I don't know And to get a few things that I haven't tried yet Yeah, all of these that I call so tonicals gorgeously kinky Couraging and she sent it. They're all free shipping over a hundred dollars. So You'll see me getting less of all of them, but probably still something this year So she sent it in terms of recommendations. The deep conditioners again are amazing The co-washers are amazing and I love the Tahiti custard gel and the plum nectar and agave gel. So those two gels or jellies I like Yeah, I mean pretty much just go back into my videos and you can see exactly what I love from all of these brands, but Yeah, our quick recommendations would be deep conditioners co-washers Those couple jellies the passion fruit and flax seed line Trampo scab treatment I mean I could keep talking to what she sent it for a long time and it's really hard to go wrong with them So again, pretty much just go for Coloration will also definitely be seeing me in terms of what I like. I really like the maracuja line I want to try those superfoods, but I haven't actually Tried it yet. So I can't really recommend it. I hey, I'm hoping there's some new stuff too. Why not? I didn't like that. I discussed leaving. I think as well if they're still selling that Also recommend that.  I think they're kind of reading a lot of their products I really enjoyed their products before and I think they've changed pretty much everything So I might just be trying everything again, but I recommend giving everything a try basically So I just want to be joined them and I love the deep conditioner But then I think they're kind of changed the names and everything like there's a new name for the deep conditioner now Don't know if it's a new deep conditioner or what? So I still recommend them, but I can't really exactly say I've tried what we'll be buying we as a yes me too What we'll be buying for this black right another one in assi naturals. I'm hoping they'll be 50% off They did have 50% off sale last year and they hinted at having another sale this year They didn't say 50% off again, but I'm hoping for 50% off I love the shampoo you guys know like that's one of my favorite shampoos the moisturizing shampoo So I definitely recommend that and of course I recommend the leave-in which I also love those are 2 hg's for my nasi So definitely get you the leave-in and the shampoo and cross your fingers with me for 50% off for my nasi naturals We have obiah naturals or also for 50% off That's what I haven't really tried. I do have like their kind of styling custer to try So I guess next year for sure. I'll try it, but I haven't really tried them So I can't exactly give recommendations, but I've gotten lots of great comments about them You guys definitely down below. Let us know about some sales recommend some products help each other out Obiah naturals or any of the other brands that you know and love let us know down below for sure Obiah naturals I didn't at first not even getting this year, but 50% off great ingredients black owned And a lot of people have great things to say about them. So going down the line to curls and potions So this one was 45% off. I guess last year So I'm expecting between 40 and 50% off this year. I like their original line So I guess I'll recommend that when I do want to try a lot more from their brand So check out my videos again to see how their original line performed. That's the only stuff I tried So that's all I can recommend But I see good reviews on the website for pretty much everything and not fake good reviews, but real good reviews So I'm thinking that pretty much you can go around with curls and potions and two great things about her One is that some of the sales go towards breast cancer research So you're supporting a good cause as well Of course black owned which is three good things Because of the good thing is that her shipping tends to be really fast So if you're on the one those people that you don't want to wear two weeks, three weeks, four weeks Where my products new sale come out. Oh god, I have a problem. If that's you I do want to avoid all of that Definitely I would say go for curls and potions because that's one of the faster shipping Sales so you can get your little sale in plus get your little products quick and not You know and leave the real hard for waiting for us pjs who are used to it basically Curls and potions that's for you take that one by that one Yeah, so then we have tgin which again, I'm expecting probably around 45 or 40 to 45 percent off for tgin So that's a brand I don't personally buy I think they tend to have some of their stuff has telephones. I don't remember why I don't buy all of it But I do think they have good ingredients and good quality. It's just like I try to avoid the silicones and polyquads and stuff and I think they tend to have a lot of that But if tgin is your stuff Look out for black fryer. You can get a great deal basically Then we have some 40 off predictions baskin bloom is one You guys know, I love the herbal cleanse. I love the deep conditioner Ayurvedic mask. I love the hair gel. I want to try the mousse So that's what I would recommend with baskin bloom I want to say also think that their shipping is pretty fast. Definitely a great brand Then we come to some I haven't tried furless one, which is also about 40 off Um, I think their ingredients I did think they also have a lot of polyquads and stuff So don't have personal recommendations from them For that brand, but I do know a lot of people love their brand So if you want to give it a try if you like them You probably could get 40 off on black friday if you're trying to get to a sale Actual club, but I'm also expecting 40% off. I did kind of sneak and buy some recently Trying to remember how much I paid. I might have been that person that should have waited for black friday I don't think I got as much as 40% off. I haven't tried the products yet to be able to recommend them But yeah I'll be trying them soon And I've seen a lot of good reviews on youtube, I guess and then there's good butter shop So I just love the names of their under packaging You'll know about me and packaging, but I love their names and packaging so that they have like a govah Collada leaving and stuff. I check the ingredients and the ingredients don't quite translate to the names I think they're all about simple ingredients, which is great But for me, if you call a name, I want to see it in there. Like if you say govah, I want to see some govah Uh, so I'm a little bit pet peeved about that But if you're looking for like really simple ingredients, I guess Maybe give them a try and again, I'm expecting them to be 40% off And I do have my eye on them. So if they did have a product that I wanted to try, I would definitely give it a try And I'll link all the brands and stuff down below so you guys can go check them out Down to like 35% off the ones that I recommend here. Just ones that I really maybe like something or you know Fast shipping something like that. So caravada is one. I really like their gel So even at 35% off between fast shipping like they have fast shipping as well Add me like in the gel if I didn't want to try their gel for the year I probably would wait until black friday to buy it. So I'm not sure I'm going to get their gel this year But that's what I recommend from them. Um, I want to try like their butter or something. They have some sort of butter type Moisturizing cream something something. I do want to try that as well one sweet day. Camilla rose needs no introduction I love their original pink line I kind of have fallen off Camilla rose again because like other products have better sales and stuff I really wanted to get to like an expo or something But of course corona no expose because Camilla rose really has the best sales during like hair expos and stuff You can get Camilla rose for like five dollars a pop, which is awesome So I really wanted to like try catch up on some of their stuff during the next hair expo And I'm not sure when that will be with all the whole panetic and everything. So Yeah, in terms of black friday, you probably could get 35% off. They do have great items I probably won't be getting this year. Again, I still have quite a lot of So yeah, I probably would not get them this year But I definitely recommend them and I know a lot of you guys just only buy Camilla rose That's all that touches your sweet baby hair So if that's you and you wear for black friday, you should get about 35% off And then special mention again to Alodia hair care and Hitachi So Alodia hair care is a local brand the owner is really nice I really enjoy when I use her products and I've been trying to get a hold of her gel I think before the pandemic we were even going to just meet up and just give me one I was like so desperate to get a hold of her gel But I just might get one this black friday as well and her sales tend to be about 30% off So I've used it before I really wanted to use it some more But I just haven't been able to get my hands on it ever since then and also Hitachi 30% off What I really like about Hitachi First of all right now it's the only place I can get blue rose beauty So I'm definitely going to be checking it out for that Just to stuff up on my blue rose beauty But also there are like so many different brands there and you can get pretty much all the hair products 30% off Which you know across all the various brands and stuff. So there's a lot of variety You don't have to worry about all the fun shipping because her shipping is pretty fast Between just the joy of browsing all those products and the products and the sale and the fast shipping and blue rose beauty Hitachi is definitely one of the other looking out for it. So just a few more notes that I'm just kind of hoping so I've seen some companies kind of not exactly quite selling anymore. Maybe I'm kind of hoping that they come out for black friday and I will have my eye out for them And I kind of recommend that you have your eye out for them too. Just in case So one is Beku of beauty if you go on her website It's still kind of technically up but a lot of products are sold out So I'm gonna maybe hope still that she may make some announcement for black friday Similarly nefter and main really good products, but the website now everything looks kind of sold out I'm also hoping that they kind of re-energize for black friday and they would have a good sale if they did If they did I would expect like 40 50% off. So definitely keep an eye out for them And similarly Ujui and Sprout and Curly's both of them I expect like 40 to 50% off But both of them are not selling products exactly right now But they both hinted that they're coming back soon. So why not black friday? Hopefully we'll see and then like a side side note is the lip bar because they have like black or natural makeup 50% off and you can get like some great lipsticks and everything none of those toxic chemicals clearly I don't use makeup often But I did try the lipstick and I did enjoy it and I just want to support as well and support you as well If you haven't heard of them 50% off for a natural black own Makeup brand is like everybody women basically.
