Your nominees for Best Novel Ladies of Horror Fiction Awards 2021 are Betty by Tiffany McDaniels. I am so glad that this book is on this list because 100% it should be in the horror category.

Mexican Gothic by Sylvia Marino Garcia. Saltblood by TC Parker. I've reviewed that on the channel already. It's absolutely fantastic.

And then The Sundown Motel by Simone St. James. Yet another one on my TBR. And then Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Basterica. Basterica. I'm sorry. If I'm getting this wrong, I apologize. I have a problem with a lot of pronunciations. And my buddy Max Stark even told me how to pronounce it last time. And I still, I don't think I'm saying it right. So like I said, I apologize. But the winner is Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Basterica. I fully believe that this one should have won. And yes, one of my friends is on the nominees list. And I still fully agree with that being the winner. It was one of the more disturbing pieces of the year.  So that's it for the 2021 Ladies of Horror Fiction Awards. Again, I highly recommend you, if you're looking for good books, especially a good horror books, especially good horror books written by women, or if you just want to expand and read more women, I highly suggest you do. I have good reasons for this. I plan on doing a video about it coming up here shortly. So that's it. That's the 2021 Ladies of Horror Fiction Awards. Thank you for joining me.

Hello and welcome to the Grand Line review, your source for everything One Piece. Today we have a manga review of chapter 908, The Reverie Begins. And One Piece continues to be on fire, bombarding us with series changing information and events. Last week I made a big thing about saying that Oda wouldn't introduce such an important chair without having somebody sit on it, although little did I expect it to happen the very next chapter. We have just been somewhat introduced to an entity that is possibly the most powerful character in the entire series. Not necessarily in terms of strength, but in terms of resources and influence. And he has a pretty underwhelming name coming from an English speaking background. His name is Imu, which to me sounds like some arse clown trying very poorly to pronounce the word Imu. However, a bunch of people have pointed out a potential theory as to why his name is Imu. Imu is written in katakana, which if you're unfamiliar with Japanese is the alphabet used primarily for foreign loan words that make their way into the language and of course foreign names. So with that in mind, the idea has been posed that the name Imu may be a fusion of the katakana spellings of Adam and Eve, or in this case Eve and Adam. Eve being spelled E-Vu and Adam being spelled A-Da-Mu. Let's take the first part of Eve, E, and the last part of Adam, Mu, and you get Imu. This might seem a bit out of nowhere, but it stems from the idea that devil fruits in this world may mimic the concept of forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden and there's also even some suggestion that Raftel could represent Eden. Personally, I think this is an incredibly long shot, but I thought it was worth mentioning because otherwise his name is incredibly underwhelming for the secret king of the entire world. But I think it's pretty clear that this is the figure that we saw examining the giant straw hat a couple of chapters ago whilst holding Luffy's Wanted Poster. From this chapter I think we can also assume that the second Wanted Poster, Imu, had in his possession was Blackbeards, which I think is actually the very first time his Wanted Poster has been seen in the series.  More than likely to preserve the status quo of the world. And this has made me really want something that I never thought I'd even consider, and that is the potential of an alliance between Luffy and Blackbeard.  Alas, that was but a brief thought because I still think that Blackbeard is set up to be Luffy's final opponent and I think the more likely outcome is that the Revolutionary Army will overthrow Imu and the Gorosei before they have a chance to enact the assassination of Luffy and Blackbeard, which is very in keeping with the theme of fate that they both have going on. It's just like the two of them to be inadvertently saved by a threat that they didn't even know existed. But what is a bit more alarming is that there are two other individuals highlighted by Imu being Shirahoshi and Vivi. Now Shirahoshi's picture has a knife through it, so I think the meaning there is pretty clear and it makes perfect sense to want her dead given that she is literally the ancient weapon Poseidon and could contribute greatly to the complete destruction of the world government. And you know what, I still don't understand why Neptune decided it was a good idea to bring her here in the first place. I mean, he knows that she is Poseidon and surely as a result of knowing what the ancient weapons are, he also knows that the world government is not exactly in favour of them. There were only two ways that delivering Shirahoshi to Marijwa could have turned out. One, they kill her to prevent her being used against them, or two, they capture her and attempt to use her power for their own purposes. But let's quickly cover the picture of Vivi because this photo has not been ripped or stabbed, but Imu is looking at it as if he is pondering whether or not to add her to the kill pile. I think this pretty much confirms that Vivi is going to do something pretty major in the future. If Imu was concerned about alabaster in general, then he'd more than likely be holding up a picture of cobra. But no, Imu is concerned about Vivi in particular. Actually, sinister theory time now. What if the wanted posters of Luffy, Blackbeard, and the photo of Shirahoshi are red herrings? And Vivi is going to be the real target because Imu seems to have taken the photo up to the throne with him. So when the Gorossae ask which light needs to be erased from history or whatever the hell they said, Imu would then hold up the picture of Vivi and, yeah, oh, all of a sudden I'm not feeling terribly good for Vivi. Or cobra, actually. On the way to the throne room, the Gorossae were having a discussion about him. And after seeing the Gandhi-like member of the Gorossae calling for a cleansing, I am even more on the bandwagon that cobra certainly isn't going to make it out of the referee alive. And just while we're on cobra, apparently he and King Riku had an off-screen meeting with one admiral Fujitora, which is a tiny, tiny detail, but I imagine that Fujitora has identified them as potential allies in his quest to abolish the Shichibukai, which makes perfect sense given that both of their kingdoms were so adversely affected by former warlords of the sea.  When the reverie was first mentioned during the drum arc, it made it sound like one of the most boring events possible when a group of leaders coming together to discuss policy and such. But here we are, and in my opinion it is one of the most fascinating set of chapters that we have read in the entire series. But back to Imu. I find it interesting that he was named in the series before the Gorossae actually. I suppose it's always possible that to become one of the Gorossae, you may need to give up your name and identity in service of the world, but then again, who even cares about the Gorossae anymore? They may as well be nameless slaves right now, because the existence of this king of the world has rendered them almost entirely uninteresting. Prior to this chapter, I was really keen to learn how about they might have been secretly plotting and pulling the strings of the world, but now they just feel a bit like hollow husks, who exist only to follow the orders of another. Which is a shame because these guys have been built up in the series for almost 600 chapters now, and for them to turn out to be a bit nothing, well it's disappointing to say the least. But the final thing I will say about Imu is that he very much fits the bill for the character that Oda was describing at Jump Festa last year. He said something about introducing a lurking legend in the One Piece world, the greatest enemy for the straw hats who will hinder their way. So Imu certainly qualifies as a lurking legend, and it would seem that he has every intention of hindering the straw hats. The part that doesn't quite fit yet is that Oda also hinted that this person may be related to Whitebeard in some way. So who knows if it's him, but either way, massive stuff going down here with Imu. That is only a portion of the big news this week, because not only do we see the return of Jewelry Bonnie and Bartholomew Kuma, but the two of them appear to be connected in some way. The obvious conclusion here is that Bonnie may even be Kuma's daughter, which you know, of all of the crazy Bonnie theories out there, I don't think anyone predicted that. I'm probably wrong though, because Bonnie has been quoted to be just about everything, including the One Piece itself. But there's also a nice reveal here that Kuma was the king of a nation known as the Sorbet Kingdom, which sounds an awful lot like a nation that we would have found in Totland, but there you go. This was simultaneously completely unexpected and yet makes total sense, because remember that Kuma's epithet is tyrant. This has always been incredibly mysterious, because during his time in the series, Kuma has never shown the kind of tendencies that will lead us to calling him a tyrant. And furthermore, from a semantic point of view, he was never really in a position to become a tyrant because it requires power over a group of people. And in our eyes, Kuma always acted alone. But given that he was a monarch, the whole tyrant thing makes a whole new world of sense. Although the mystery still remains of how this man, cyborg thing, got that epithet in the first place, given his nature. And you know, I think it's actually going to be an incredibly tragic tale, similar to that of King Riku from Dressrosa. I feel like Kuma may be entirely misrepresented or may have been forced into becoming tyrannical over his subjects, in much the same way that Dolph Lamingo literally forced King Riku to slaughter his own people.  But perhaps he was a king who was strongly opposed to the world government and was powerful enough to be considered a threat to their very existence. So they captured his daughter, Bonnie, and blackmailed Kuma into working for them, slowly but surely converting him into a pacifista in order to ensure that he would never be able to stand against them again, even if the world government lost Bonnie, which they did. This idea sort of fits in my mind with what Sakazuki said when he captured Jewelry Bonnie in the post-war arc just prior to the time skip. He said something long lines of being truly frightened when he'd heard that she'd escaped from the world government, possibly because he feared that the truth could come out to the people of Sorbet. I don't know, this is all wild speculation on the fly, but it makes sense to me, at least for the moment.  I'd be pretty happy if it turned out that she was just some girl trying to save her father, although if that were the case it would turn her into yet another princess, wouldn't it? Hmm, maybe I'm not so keen on that after all. Although Bonnie, being Bonnie, she shows off her devil fruit abilities in a fun way this week by turning into an elderly lady, however she immediately reverts to her regular form which, while dramatically appropriate, is quite possibly one of the most foolish things she could have possibly done given exactly where she is in the world. However, this does make me wonder if Bonnie has a time limit to her aging ability. Like depending on her stamina, she can only maintain the form for so long, and perhaps even the more extremely she changes her age, the harder it is to maintain, which would also extend to the power that she has over others as well. In any case, as thrilled as I am for Bonnie to appear here, it is kind of disappointing because it means she is unlikely to be present for the Wano arc. I was kind of hoping that she'd be there along with the other members of the Worst Generation, most of whom are already directly involved without the big normal Kaido, and that Wano would be some sort of huge show of the Worst Generation overthrowing the previous pirate establishment and ushering in a new age for themselves. But you know, I suppose rescuing your potential father comes first. And just briefly, there's been some speculation about whether this is Kuma or whether it is one of the Pasifista, but I think it is clearly the real Kuma. I don't think Oda would have provided one of his big name introductions if it were a Pasifista, and I feel like we can trust Bonnie and Sabo for that matter to know who the real Kuma is, in addition to the fact that he does have a PX-0 label on him. However, the image of Rosward riding Kuma is greatly disturbing to me. I don't know why, because we've seen the Celestial Dragons riding their slaves before, but to see this man, who has only ever really done good things in the story, reduced to becoming a tortured vehicle for this prick is just sickening. Although there is one even more disturbing image during this chapter, where Sabo is reminiscing about Kuma and we see something never before gazed upon, which is a panel of Kuma smiling. Ugh. And that is truly disturbing. Moving along, we got a bit more of Most Guard this week, not a whole lot, just enough to really reinforce his character from the last chapter. And I'd like to just briefly go over the idea floating around that Most Guard is still in fact a bad guy and is looking to cultivate trust with the Fishmen and Merman races in order to lure them to the surface and make them easier to enslave en masse. Look, this might come back to bite me because he is a Celestial Dragon and technically they're not to be trusted under any circumstances, but I am going to believe in our newfound ally here. And not so much because of him, but because of Otto Hime. Her death in the series always felt incredibly tragic because when she passed away, her hopes and dreams seemed to die with her. Yes, I know they were somewhat kept alive by her surviving family who are now finally taking active steps forward, but if Otto Hime were to have truly influenced a Celestial Dragon, then she would have left a profound legacy and an actual change in the world. And I believe that Otto is very much more a person to prefer to have a persistent Goldfish influence the future of the world as we know it, rather than be double-crossed and having her brave actions whilst alive rendered futile. But that's just what I take from the perspective of the meta narrative. And finally this week I should touch on the fact that the reverie has officially commenced. Although there isn't a hell of a lot to say except that I love the two-page spread of all the kings assembled around the conference table. From an artistic and storytelling perspective, I'm very interested in exactly how Otto is going to make a seven-day round table conference interesting, although it probably won't last very long because revolutionaries are incoming. That pretty much does it for chapter 908. If you enjoyed this video then feel free to like, favorite or subscribe and please do comment with your thoughts on the chapter.

Good to see you Matt. Hi Dan, hi Charles. Charles, I picked up from your conversations with Dan and you mentioned specifically Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab. So talking about not really being sophisticated enough to be able to organize things that have been happening recently on such a successful and grand scale, which I completely agree with. I think more likely just very well resourced chances and opportunists. But given also, I picked up that you were saying that this is nothing new under the sun that these things have gone on before, that these things have been happening for decades, centuries, possibly millennia. So do you think that there are actually sort of common threads through that, as in that there are groups that are behind any of this? And if so, I mean, does it even matter in terms of us being able to resist it or to not fall into line for them to get what they want? Okay, so first I'll say that to believe that there is a that there is a group or groups that are kind of at the top of the pyramid orchestrating everything. It buys into the same worship of control that runs our whole civilization. And it gives too much power to the mindset of control. So for that reason, because I think that there is intelligence outside the human being, there's an intelligence in the world in the in the way that events organize themselves. There's such a thing as synchronicity that aligns itself around our state of consciousness to reflect that consciousness back at us. Like, you got to take all these things into account in in any conspiracy theory, you can't ignore these things. And like these deep psychological forces that go back before the dawn of history, that I've written about extensively, mob morality, for example. Now, you know, I do think that there are I do think that there are conspiracies that are subsumed underneath this overarching structure. But they're not the primary explanation for the why the world is the way that they the way that it is. Or you could say that the most powerful people on earth are themselves puppets of ideologies, mythologies, unconscious social forces. So, and that's important, because merely removing them from power is not going to change very much, if we don't also act on the level of these psychic forces, psycho social forces, mythologies. And that's, that's what my work is about. So that, you know, maybe the revolution succeeds. I mean, usually what happens when the revolution succeeds is that it replaces the old tyrants with new tyrants. I don't want to see that happen. We have to change the ground, the ground.


Hello everyone, I am live at the southernmost point of Taiwan. You can see the sea behind me, I thought it would be a good time to get on and do a live video. Unfortunately my microphone has ran out of battery so I am using the mic on my phone. I just had a little hike through the forest, got my North Face shoes on. So yeah here it is, the southernmost point of Taiwan. I am going to get into the message as I walk back. Is the narcissist happier without you? I am sure that is a question many of you have. Because when they were with you, it's like you couldn't do anything right. Nothing you did was good enough. And you may have gone to the ends of the earth in an effort to please them. In an effort to try to make them happy. Because that's what we like as empaths. We don't want anyone to be miserable. We want people to feel happy just like we do. But it seemed like no matter what you did, the narcissist was never happy with you. And that's not to say that you weren't good enough. I mean no one can be good enough for a narcissist anyway. They can never be satisfied. But they do typically target the best of the best. They don't want to be around anyone who they think is garbage. If they think someone is no good, they're going to be running in the opposite direction. As anyone would. But with us they manipulated us, they gave us the illusion. And we thought it was something else. We thought we were looking at something of value. Something real. But it wasn't real at all. It was a facade. They made themselves out to be something. And then we later found out that's not what they were at all. It was a mirage. They sold you a dream. They just wanted to get around you. So that they could use you for their own needs. So that they could feel better about themselves. It wasn't to give anything to you or to build a relationship with you. Narcissists do not care about relationships. That means nothing to them. All they care about is transactions. And for them the transaction has to be one way. So they have to be getting something from you. And preferably they'd prefer it if you're not getting anything from them. So that it keeps you down, it keeps you questioning yourself. You feel like there's something wrong with you. And then that makes you stay down. It makes you stay under their spell, under their control. If they're constantly draining you. They're not reciprocating. Instead they're lying to you and future faking. They're putting your dreams far ahead in the future. This dream that they sold to you.   As I've heard from some of my clients. There's victims who have lost 50 years of their life. Stuck with a narcissist. Who sold them a dream. And they could have spent their life doing something else. Around someone who valued and appreciated them. Someone who could have brought out the best in them. Instead of just keeping them down. And of course this is where it really gets people. The way that nothing you did was ever good enough for them. Even if you exceeded their expectations. They would move the goalposts. No matter what you did they were never happy with you. But at the same time although you may never have noticed it. They weren't even given a fraction of what you were given to them. You were putting out a million times more value. Than you were getting in return. And yet they were the ones whenever happy with you. Or so they portrayed. And yet then they discard you.   They posted it on social media. And they're making it look like. Their lives are now so much better without you. They're making it look like they're so much happier now. But in actuality. I can tell you that it is all a facade. It doesn't matter what you see. On Facebook. Instagram. Twitter. TikTok. It doesn't matter. It is all a mirage. And you just got to think. You really think that someone could have been so miserable. And dissatisfied with you. But then somehow they can just leave you behind and overnight. They're so much happier with someone else. As they want you to think. Of course. That's not possible. They can't just change overnight if they were like that with you. For months or even years. It takes a lot of work. It takes time. Even for myself. I didn't become the man that you see today overnight. It took a lot of work. It took a long time of building myself up. I had to do the work from within. Little cat here. Unfortunately I left the cat treats in the car. I feel bad now. I actually brought the treats. If I could get the cat to follow me to the car that would be good. Because I got some treats in there. Anyway, yeah. It is all a facade. Just look back at your relationship with them. Remember when they first targeted you. Do you remember all of these lies that they told you? They lied about their qualities and abilities. They told you they were this. They were that. As though they were everything that you had been looking for. Everything that you had been waiting for. It's like they just popped out of nowhere. And suddenly they were that. And then they created this sense of urgency. And because they portrayed themselves as our soulmate. As this person that we've been waiting for. With the sense of urgency. We were all in. We were like okay. I accept it. I believe. Let's go. Because we didn't want to lose it. Maybe we had an experience in the past. And we really wanted to be with someone. But at that time we weren't all in. Maybe we weren't ready. Maybe we needed some time. And maybe we regretted. That experience. That potential relationship. And these narcissists will play on that as well. They will come along. And create this sense of urgency. And then you're ready. To just do it now. And that's when they've got you.  Their qualities, their abilities. They give you this false impression. This deceptive outward appearance. They don't tell you too much about themselves. They only tell you the good parts. And one thing they never do is they never can tell you. Where they have overcome something. And accomplished something. They can never do that. It's always just. They're just right here. Right now they're there. What you've been waiting for. So now you need to be ready. You've got to be ready to go. And many of us we fall for it. We get manipulated. And then we're waiting. Wondering when is this thing going to actualize? When is it going to turn into something real? Because we're doing all of the work. And they're just sitting around. It's costing us our time, our money, our energy. And they're just sitting around. Lacing around. Not doing anything. Not putting in the work. As though they're just taking us for granted. As though they don't really care. And then when you press them and confront them. What do they do? They go to the future faking. They tell you just to wait around. For some point in the future. Well there, typically living for free. Maybe you're paying the rent. You're paying all of the bells. You're doing all of the work. And they're not having to lift a finger. And at the same time when you're doing everything for them. They're always so miserable. They're never happy. They're never happy with anything you do. No matter what you do. And I can tell you. There's really no limit. There's really no extreme. No matter what you do for them. No matter how much you accomplish. It's never going to be enough. Because they have a void within themselves. But they trick you. Because they are experts at manipulation. They have been manipulating people their entire lives. So they know how to create a story and illusion. Because that was always their means to survive. That is how they got by in life. They wouldn't have got anywhere without doing that. I mean just look at how they were with you. They manipulated you. They gave you this fast character. You didn't do that. And you knew exactly what they were from the beginning. You would have left straight away. You wouldn't have waited around for them. And it is the same thing. People when it looks they move down to another relationship. It's exactly the same. It doesn't change. It's just more manipulation. And at the same time they're triangulating you. And they're trying to use it to hurt you. So that they don't feel regrets. And it makes it more believable for them. To make them think that they made the right decision. But in fact they just messed everything up. Potentially a lot of times. They threw away their lives. They threw away something that could have been good for them. Because you were there for them no matter what. You would have done anything for them. You cared about them. More cats here. I saw this one on the way down. I don't think I've seen this one before though. I don't know if they're stray cats. But surprisingly they do look quite healthy. Yeah it really is one illusion. Everything you're seeing it is all fake. As I've said before. Everything they do is manipulation. Everything. It doesn't matter if they are manipulating and love bombing you. It doesn't matter if they are devaluing and discarding you. Triangulating you. Starting a spear campaign against you. It is all an illusion. Both the Dr. Jekyll side of them. And the Mr. Hyde. Both sides of them are fake. So no matter what you see. It isn't real. The only thing that is real. Is the abuse. And the devaluation that you might see later on. When they start to get bored of the new supply. Which they almost always will. Unless they've managed to find a codependent. Someone who has no boundaries. No identity. No sense of self. Or they lack one at least. It's not that strong. Someone who is a doormat.  Kind of like what we were to them in the beginning. That's what they stuck with us for a certain amount of time. But then when you start to catch on. You start to figure them out. That's when they're ready to jump ship onto the new source.  Someone who is going to be more susceptible to their manipulation. And that's all they really care about. Above everything else. Are you going to believe their lies or not? Are you going to believe their story? That is the main trait that they look for. Someone who is trustworthy. They believe that they are credible. They believe what is being shown to them. Because if you believe, if you trust, then they've got you hooked. They've got you wrapped around their thumb. And then they know that you're not going anywhere. As soon as you start to experience this belief. You become distrustful. You no longer believe in their credibility. Then they're out of there. They're gone. And in some cases you may never see them again. Who knows exactly who they are.  You need to be susceptible to their manipulation. Who is susceptible. Then in that moment. I wouldn't say that they're happy. Believes in their lies. Someone who believes in their story. And as I said, I saw that they really care about. That's really like the most important thing to a narcissist. Because then they have something to work with. If you don't even believe in their lies. And you're not waiting around with their future faking. That is no good for them. They want to be around people who believe.  That they can create this false reality. And it supports their false character. They can create this illusion and get supply from you as well. And it's like. As long as they're able to post these pictures and front their new supply. And they know that you're looking at it. Sending them energy. It makes them feel alive. Because as I said before. They experience everything vicariously through other people. So that's why they do that. That's why they triangulate. But that does not mean that they are happier without you. They're still miserable. They're still dissatisfied. It may look like they're happy as long as you're watching. If you had a chance to catch them off guard. You would see what they're really like. You would see it. And it's not like how we are. Like myself. I would say that yes I am consistently happy. Pretty much every day. That's like my normal base of emotion. Is joy. As long as I'm not around toxic people. Of course I don't always show it. I'm not smiling and laughing all of the time. Especially when I'm coming on here. And giving you this message. But even right now. Even though I'm discussing. Quite a serious topic. That does not mean that I am not happy right now. And I'm sure many of you can relate to that. I'm sure many of you. Most days you do feel joy. You have a lot of energy as long as you're not around them. And of course again that is why they targeted you. They do want to be around people who have energy. But not for too long. Because that energy has the power to overwhelm them. And they envy it. It reminds them that they're not like that. So then it's just all about trying to compete with you. Or triangulating you with someone else. To try and keep you down vibrationally. Remember what they're trying to take from you. It's something that they don't have. So the simple answer to this question. Is of course no. The narcissist is not happy without you. They do not experience consistent happiness and joy like we do. As long as we're not around toxic people of course. For them. It's predominantly negative emotions. And you just got to think how a person treats you. Is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves. They can't give you something that they don't already possess. So they're projecting these emotions onto you. And that's why it's very good if you do have someone you trust. Someone you can talk to. A therapist, a coach or even just this community. Where you can express. These things, these emotions that they have projected onto you. So that you can release them and dis identify with them. By knowing that they do not belong to you. They were given to you by a toxic person. But for them. The experience mostly negative emotions. They're always miserable. Just remember when they were with you. Nothing you did could ever make them happy. And they just projected that all onto you. And they still do that as well. Even when they run off with a new supply. They try and get you with this new person. So even then they're still trying to hurt you. And you just got to think. I mean I know for myself if I am in a new relationship with someone. And I'm genuinely happy with them. I'm having a good time. The last thing I'm going to be thinking about is my ex. They're not even going to cross my mind. I'm going to be too busy having fun in my new relationship. I'm not going to be thinking about the past. I'm not going to be trying to hurt someone. Happy people do not do that. At this moment, of course, I am single. I'm not with anyone right now. But of course, yes, I've had many relationships in the past. That's how I've got so much experience to talk about this. I just remember past relationships where I left a narcissist. Then I found someone. Well, maybe I thought they weren't narcissistic in the beginning. And in that moment, I just wasn't thinking about the narcissist at all. I wasn't thinking about getting revenge or hurting them. I've never thought that way when I'm with someone. I've never desired to make anyone envious or jealous of my relationship. I've just never thought that way. Because I can find fulfillment in a relationship. As I'm sure many of you can as well. So we just don't do these types of things. But narcissists will do that because they can never be satisfied. It doesn't matter who they're with. They could be with a supermodel, a celebrity. It wouldn't make a difference. They would still just use them as a trophy, an object to try to make other people envious or jealous. Because that's how they think. And then they can live vicariously through other people. So that's all that that is. When people can't experience fulfillment in something. Then they try to get other people involved. And they try to irritate them. And try to make them envious. I've never been that way at all. I've always been more inclusive. Because I have space. Narcissists do not have space. They are following themselves. And even then it's just what they steal from other people. They never give in anything out. And they have no desire to give anything as well. So there's just... There's just never anything there. They're just constantly trying to fill this void. But they can never be satisfied. Yes, they're definitely not happy with their new source. They're still trying to hurt you. They're even still thinking about you. I know myself and my past relationships. I was in a relationship. I was never thinking about anyone else. I was only thinking about that person that I was with. As long as I was happy in the relationship. But I am single right now. I'm not actually with anyone. I am just more focused on my travelling. As you can see I'm pretty much every video I put up. I'm always exploring. I'm always looking around. Just looking for new things to see. Especially since I came to Taiwan. Dating and relationships have really been the last thing on my mind. I'm not really interested in Taiwanese women. It was never really on the top of my list for someone to date. This is just somewhere I've kind of stopped off on the way to another country. And actually I only came here because it was a bit too expensive for me to go to Hong Kong. So I saw online that Taiwan is cheaper so I came here. So yeah not really interested in Taiwanese women. I haven't really seen any women here that I've decided to talk to. Or that I'm attracted to. I don't really know too much about the culture. But from what I've seen a lot of the women here they do seem to seek quite a lot of attention. Especially from me as well. But I'm just not into that kind of thing. Many of you will know I am quite a traditional man. I don't really like party girls. Women who are looking for tons of attention. Women who are around loads of men. I like a girl who is more quiet. Shy. Even submissive. A girl who lessons, cooperates. That's more my kind of thing. So that's why yes you know I am alone. Traveling alone. Because I'm just not interested in Taiwanese women. I'm really not. I mean if I was then I would have made some level of effort at this point. Of course there are some women that I am very interested in. I am a straight man so of course. And as I said I have had plenty of relationships in the past. Probably more than most men. And that is why I do have a lot of experience. But I really do enjoy the traveling. Taiwan is a very beautiful country. I've seen a lot of amazing things here. I've traveled all over the country. I've had some amazing experiences. Some first time experiences as well. So overall yes it is. A really beautiful country. So much to see. And I would highly recommend it. If you're looking to travel in Asia. Now I am actually on my way back to the north of Taiwan. Going to book my flight to my next destination. But I do hope that this information has been helpful to you. I know it's not fun.  Putting so much effort into a relationship. And they just disregard you. They don't reciprocate or give anything back. And then they just get rid of you. And they move on to someone else. They act like they're so much happier now. After everything you did for them that was never appreciated. It just makes you feel like you're no good. That's exactly how it makes us feel isn't it? But that's the thing. Yes we were no good. No good for them. They need to be with someone who is more like themselves. But we can be good for someone else. Someone far greater. Yes we can be good for them.  All of the lies, the manipulations, the future faking.  Let someone else deal with that. Let them post these pictures and flaunt their supply. Let them do what they want. Because deep down we know the truth. We know exactly what they really like. We know they're still going through something. That's why they're posting these pictures and trying to hurt you. Because they're hurt. And hurt people, hurt people. Just don't let them hurt you anymore. You've been through enough, you deserve better. And you've got us, you've got this community now. You've got this support. And we are with you no matter what. We are always on your side. We will always be there for you. Let the narcissist move on. And live their best life. Or should I say their best lie. Because that's what it really is. It is all a lie. It is a joke.  I hope you found this video helpful. I hope it provides you with comfort and relief after everything that you have been through. And if it does, you can show your support by giving this video a thumbs up down below. It's very important as it will help the YouTube algorithm. And it will get this message out there so that other survivors will see it. And then they will finally understand the truth of what is really going on. And how the narcissist is a fraud, a corn artist. It's like they're trying to sell you a product and they don't even have it. It's not even real. So you're never going to get it. The new source is never going to get it because they don't even have it. All they've got is just a promotion and advertisement. That's all they have. As I've said before the best you will ever get from them is an illusion. Remember to hit the subscribe button as well so that you will receive the notifications for my future videos.

Why should we care about peatlands? Well, basically we need to do a lot of education about peatlands because in general, peatlands were looked for as a wasteland, which is not the case. Peatlands plays an enormous role in terms of climate mitigation and also in the livelihood of people who are living in those areas. So peatland doesn't mean at all wasteland. They are very productive land. Dennis, it's an interesting remark that a lot of people see peatlands as wastelands. Why do you think they have that impression? That's because what happens is when you see peatlands, you are looking different swamps, different areas that you are going to find, different snakes, animals and so on and so on. So almost everybody is afraid of that. So that's why many people believe that those are wastelands. That's not the case. That's life. And it's interesting because peatlands often fall at a grey zone between conservation and economic development. Sometimes these interests might conflict. What do you think is the best way to reconcile these interests and to create more communication between government and the local communities when it comes to managing peatlands? What happens in general as a matter of education, the way that we go to the university, the way that we get our education? Because we believe some people are foresters, other people are agronomists, other people are biologists, other people are fish management or fisheries, and everybody goes in different directions. When we are talking about peatlands, we have to work together to understand each other because that's the only way to understand well what peatland is all about and how to manage well the peatlands. We go in different directions. We are wasting our time just because we are losing the opportunity to work together and to understand very well that ecosystem that needs to be well managed. Can you talk to me a bit about the situation of peatlands in Peru, where you live? Sure, that's a very special place. First of all, I want to make a difference between peatlands here in Indonesia and peatlands over here in Peru. Peatlands in Indonesia, most of them are destroyed. That's my understanding because of a lot of old plantations. What's happening in Peru is quite different. Over there, we have different fruits. As a matter of fact, I talked this morning about aguaje, palm tree. That's the very delicious fruit. And we have about five million hectares of that fruit. That plant provides economy, provides food, provides also biodiversity. So our approach over there in Peru is how to preserve, how to manage well those peatlands with a lot of aguaje, that palm tree that I'm talking about. Because we have that approach rather than destroying those peatlands we are using and managing. And that's the difference that we have about peatlands over there in the Amazon, improving Amazon and also here in Indonesia. In Indonesia, after the fire and haze crisis of 2015, the Indonesian National Government instituted a no-burn policy on the peatlands. Has the Peruvian government had similar measures in terms of policy to manage them? What was their approach? I know they're two very different situations. We don't have that kind of problems in terms of burning peatlands because over there the approach is preserving those peatlands because we have already a product coming from peatlands like aguaje fruits, fishery and timber and so on. So we are taking care of those peatlands because that's economy. We don't need to destroy them. Just preserving and having a good management system in order to keep helping local people and also the national economy. And I know you have a lot of experience working with local communities. What do you think is the best way to engage them and mobilize them to get involved in the preservation of wetlands and forests? I tell you something. I was lucky to work in different parts of the world. I work in Africa, I work in the Amazon. I believe the approach that works the best is just to go to the open mind to talk with local farmers and try to learn from there what they know the best. We in general make big mistakes trying to go over there and try to teach how to manage the biodiversity. The local farmers, they are the best of the best in terms of local management of biodiversity. And Dennis, what drew you here today, the Global Landscapes Forum? Just trying to learn how you are dealing with peatlands over here in Indonesia and also exchange ideas with people from other places, from Africa, from other parts of Asia, even from the Amazon because I met some Peruvians over here that I never met over in Peru, so that's a good opportunity to exchange experience and to see what we can do with for the future and also to work closely with those very important issues. Thank you, Dennis. You're welcome. Thank you.


This course is on time decay. Time decay is a pivotal component of option strategies. In fact, time decay alone is responsible for the majority of advanced option strategies. You've heard me mention options are wasting assets and they lose value every day. The buyer gets hurt from time decay and the seller benefits from time decay. Every day the buyer of an option holds the option. They lose more and more and the seller benefits. And time decay becomes more exponential as we approach the expiry. Time decay is also the great equalizer for the seller. In the previous courses on calls and puts, we felt that the risk reward picture was skewed to the buyer's advantage. Well, time decay is the equalizer in favor of the seller. In this course, we'll do a recap of the call and put options and the buyer's seller risk and reward profile. Then we'll take up the same examples we did in the call and put option courses. We'll model how time decay works on options using these examples. Then we'll go real-time into the market and study the options on Apple and see time decay in action.


Well, the Palace Casino and Hotel in Cass Lake has been around since the early 1980s, but a new version could appear voters pass a referendum. Haiti Clatter tells us how a vote will determine if all bets are off. Residents near the Leech Lake Reservation may soon have a new place to hit the jackpot if a referendum is approved to construct a new Palace Casino and Hotel in Cass Lake. It comes back as a yes vote, then we're going to proceed. If it should come back at an old vote, then we've got to rethink the plan. Any enrolled member of the Leech Lake Ban of Ojibwe that's 18 years or older can vote on the new Casino and Hotel tomorrow. If the vote goes through, the Casino will be located near the intersection of US Highway 2 and 371. Just kind of what would that be, north of Teals on the same side of the Highway 2 as a government center. If built, the Casino and Hotel will be in this area and buildings like the former Leech Lake Tribal Police Department will have to be demolished. There are options for what could happen to the current Palace Casino and Hotel. Maybe a college dorm for students that want to attend our tribal college there.  Michael Morris doesn't see the benefit a new Casino would bring to Cass Lake, the place he's called home for 55 years.  Chairman Farron Jackson Sr. says the Casino can provide up to 100 jobs and also bring in tourists. Our air quality at our current Palace is not a healthy place to have a lot of our employees working and, you know, our clients and members that come to the gambling establishment there. We want to provide a newer building. Another Cas Lake resident says he has serious concerns. This is an illegal referendum vote. Ken Mitchell says a Casino serving alcohol would increase the crime in the area and that's just part of his disapproval. They can switch the vote to any way they want, but it's already been decided. They are going to build it, no matter what we say. The cost of the Casino and Hotel would be between $45 to $50 million and Chairman Jackson says the money would come from special financing. In Cas Lake, Hady Clotter, Lakeland News. Polling stations will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. tomorrow. For a list of those stations, you can visit our website at lptv.org.

US pop star Miley Cyrus has won the rights to use her name as a trademark on the wide range of products in the European Union after Europe's top court on Wednesday annulled a decision by the EU patent office to limit the scope of her brand. The case dates to 2014 when the 28-year-old Wrecking Ball Singer company Smiley Miley's incorporation sought to trademark Miley Cyrus with the EU Intellectual Property Office for audio and video discs on mobile phone cases, e-books, electronic board games, calendars and other goods. EU backed part of its argument citing the likelihood of confusion between the two trademarks. The court however overruled EUIOP's decision dismissing its arguments that the brand could not be confused and that the name Miley Cyrus had no conceptual meaning.


Maybe it's just me, but I haven't been seeing Donald Trump tweet about or fear mongering about mail-in voting as frequently lately And I think that part of the reason why that's happening is because he's realizing that people just don't believe his lies because they're provably false But another reason why I think we're hearing less from him about this is because He realizes he's the president and fear mongering about mail-in voting isn't the only way that he can undermine mail-in voting He realizes that he can use his power as president of the United States to cripple the one agency in US Government that is going to actually make mail-in voting a possibility the US Postal Service and What we're seeing Based on what the US Postal Service workers are saying Should absolutely scare every single person who cares about democracy So as Jake Johnson of Common Dreams reports the head of the Iowa Postal Workers Union alleged Tuesday That mail sorting machines are being removed from post offices in her state due to new policies imposed by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy a major GOP donor to President Donald Trump whose Operational changes have resulted in dramatic mail slowdowns across the nation asked by NPR's Noel King Whether she has felt the impact of the joys changes Iowa Postal Workers Union president Kimberly Carroll A 30-year Postal Service veteran answered in the affirmative Saying mail is beginning to pile up in our offices and we're seeing equipment being removed Carol went on to specify that equipment that we use to process mail for delivery Including sorting machines is being removed from Postal Service facilities in Iowa as DeJoy Rushes ahead with policies that according to critics are sabotaging the Postal Services day-to-day operations Less than 90 days before an election that could hinge on mail-in ballots in Iowa We are losing machines and they already in Waterloo. We're losing one of those machines So that also hinders our ability to process mail in the way that we had in the past added Carol Who said she is not a fan of the Postmaster General? Washington state election officials have also raised concerns about the removal of mail sorting machines I grew up in a culture of service where every piece was to be delivered every day and his policies Although they've only been in place for a few weeks are now affecting the way that we do business and not allowing us to deliver Every piece every day as we've done in the past said Carol. I don't see this as cost saving measures I see this as a way to undermine the public confidence in the mail service. It's not saving costs We're spending more time trying to implement these policy changes and it's in our offices costing more over time Observers reacted with alarm to Carol's comments viewing them as further confirmation that the joy is Deliberately attempting to damage the postal service with the goal of helping Trump win re-election in November now when you consider the fact that a lot of people most voters are going to want to logically choose to vote by mail during a Pandemic and also consider the fact that most people who are Joe Biden supporters are going to be the ones to vote by mail You have to see what's obvious here. Of course Donald Trump's postmaster general is trying to sabotage the you know capacity of the US Postal Service At the behest of Donald Trump who he donated to who he supports This is so horrible That if the United States saw this taking place in a Latin American country or a Middle East country with a lot of oil We would be planning to invade them and bring them democracy That's how bad the situation is but here at home. We have to worry that our votes Might not be counted because we're going to vote by mail during a pandemic because we don't want to risk our own health I mean everyone should be outraged by this everyone should be Fearful that their vote isn't going to be counted and take extra precautions to make sure They mail out their ballots extra early But I mean there's only so much that you can do on the individual level If these institutions fail us if the US Postal Service is unable to get all of the mail and ballots to us At a time when we have an election That's going to be a catastrophe And think about how badly, you know, they've been behind just in terms of their general Operations Donald Trump's postmaster general de joy has cut overtime. That's no longer a possibility for them So all of the mail that they had before that they were able to deliver in overtime to keep them caught up That's no longer an option for them. So the mail is piling up And regardless if they try to prioritize ballots, like if their overall function and operations have slowed down due to a lack of resources and personnel What do you think's going to happen come november 3rd? We're looking at a disaster potentially Donald trump based on this I mean, I don't think it's hyperbolic to say he's trying to outright steal this election He is trying to steal this election Because if you are Genuinely concerned about fraud That it is, uh, you know a possibility with mail and ballots, you know as the president of the united states Wouldn't you tell your postmaster general to you know further enhance the capacity? Of the u.s. Postal service so they will be able to deliver all mail and ballots in time Isn't that something that seems like the logical thing that you do the the Practical step to take to make sure that mail and ballots doesn't lead to any issues Well, no because this was never about him worrying about mail and ballots This was about him realizing that if mail in voting is actually a thing that most people pursue He could lose because that could increase turnout and when turnout goes up Republicans lose This is really troubling and reading this like it's chilling um This is something that you often see in autocratic regimes But where the oldest quote unquote democracy and we have to worry that you know the most basic minimum expectation Of democracy like having our votes being counted Isn't going to actually be a thing that takes place in this election Um, it's it's startling. Uh, it's worrying It should be alarming to every single person And even if a lot of people are making noise about this Still not enough people are speaking out even republicans should be speaking out like this should be an issue where all citizens Are against what trump is doing because they've bought into the belief that democracy is good and we want to be a democrat a democratic nation but We just don't see enough people sounding the alarm And you know the same thing happens with voter ID laws and voter suppression And we don't actually look at the results of how that influenced the election Until when it's too late, right? So I don't know what to expect from this I don't know that we're going to see any changes but based on what we see now This election is going to be a complete Cluster fuck if things don't change fast if there's no lawsuit to stop Donald trump or the postmaster general like I don't know what the proper course of action needs to be But all we have currently is naming and shaming and if enough people are aware of what trump's doing At least that's a start where we can try to hold him accountable. But for now I mean we're We're headed towards destruction. There's an iceberg dead ahead and we are sailing Quickly directly right towards it and it's uh horrifying. They want three and a half trillion billion dollars for The mail-in votes. Okay universal mail-in ballots three and a half. They want 25 Billion dollars billion for the post office now They need that money in order to have the post office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots Now in the meantime They aren't getting there.  Please don't subscribe to him or become a patron David dole is so much better. Trust me folks. He's doing a great job. He really is. Okay


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today I am back with a kind of video, and it's literally one of those things that boggles my mind You think to yourself what the heck are bungee actually doing here now? We have had so many steps in the right direction regarding destined to in fact all steps for me have made progress Towards a better game. They are listening. They are delivering and we are happy Do you guys remember a time where so much of the best loot was locked behind ever verse? Do you remember the uproar once everyone clocked on to this? It led to destiny to becoming in a worse state the franchise has ever been in since day one destiny one In my opinion although it wasn't the only part which made the game come across so bad It was a major factor in doing so it gave us as a community the impression of which it seemed bungee worse Slowly trying to take the game and that was away from the game. We all fell in love with they realized the mistake They made they realized we as a community wasn't going to suck that shit in and play along Destiny community as a whole is on a whole higher level of intelligence to the ones such as fortnight and card And I'll say it yes We have the odd clueless fool who was dropped in his head one too many times as a kid But for the majority of us we see and understand the minor changes these game developers try and make which in turn Changes the big picture of the game down the line Destiny 2 was becoming that bigger picture a picture that went from a beautiful portrait of my white ass to a piss-poor Scribble of colors from that kid who was dropped on his head one too many times a few months back Most of us realized the changes bungee had already made and were making and it wasn't for the good of anyone But they greedy pockets and we saw this we spoke out while most of us did you still had their casual content creator Sucking up everything they did and praising it like it's what we all wanted and it's thought a better good It's your fault the game went so damn bad if people spoke out and spoke the truth the game would never have sunk so damn low To a point in which I still think it's beyond recovery It would never get to its former glory in my opinion But yeah, we saw changes that had been and were being made but nope We were not having any of it we spoke out We made our voices heard and for the most part it's thanks to the millions who didn't say nothing They just left the game and moved on and played other things so you guys are old a big fat DPJ Thank you bungee started listening bungee started making changes bungee were being super transparent into things coming Releasing things such as roadmaps. We started seeing many of the bungee employees being super active on Twitter And in turn we started seeing much better changes being made to the game Yeah I mean for sure most of us who have more than a single brain cell Realize the changes they made to the core game of Destiny 2 can't be changed overnight Such things as random rules weapons slot changes and changes to exotics We know and realize these things can take ages because we know what they have to work with But we are happy as a hardcore player to wait as long as we know these said changes are coming and they are Yeah, for the most part the game won't be perfect until September But at least we know all the goodness we loved which was removed from the first game will slowly return So we are happy Destiny 2 for me at the moment is in the best state it's been in since I can remember this warmind DLC was great It had many changes Incorporated to make the game last much longer and although the scale of the DLC is far from the biggest It feels much bigger due to the amount of things you can do and ground for I'd give this DLC a solid 7 out of 10 The curse will so so give a 4 and that's being generous people So I know what you're thinking people this video so far has been for the better good of changes Bongo made to destiny 2 so why does it seem like it's going to turn into bad news for them? Well, it isn't over yet So I am banner has arrived 6v6 control 6v6 feels great and should be permanent I am banner offers a whole new set of rewards some great-looking armor ornaments Which again will take a major grind to obtain which we like so let's take a look at some of the loot So people we have the armor ornaments This is a cloak will take you five ranks So you need to unlock five packages to get this we then have a side arm a lot of demand looking good We have a leg ornament. We have a sniper. We have Armor ornaments, which look great as well. We have an SMG. We have a chest ornament We have a hand cannon, which looks pretty good. We have the helmet ornament Which looks incredible a rocket launcher auto rifle an emblem We have a ship all of these look pretty good And like you can see this takes when you need to open 35 packages in order to buy this the emblem 30 packages the Auto rifle you need to open 30 packages 25 for the rocket launcher Armor ornaments 25 plus you need to win 25 matches. So DPJ you're thinking what's all the fuss about well guys There's one thing missing from this loop or and that is the exotic I am banner emotes something judging by the ranks needed for each reward I'd expect such to be locked behind maybe 50 ranks or maybe even 60 ranks, but oh no people It seems a little bungee are trying to pull a fast one again Let's head over to test the scammy bastard So this exotic emote guys is locked behind this paywall of eight pound and guess what as I believe This is the only way you cannot obtain this emotes Do you guys remember a time when bunch said nothing will be locked behind a paywall with eververse another lie again I'm guessing Worst thing is people you can't get this any other way everything else here You can get the n-grams which you can buy or you can grind the game for this is something They have added into the game to get that extra block and to me It isn't about the fact of if you don't want it don't bite or if you bite you're part of the problem that to me Is otter BS bunchy here I've chose to do the ultimate scumbag thing and make you actually pay for something you would want and yes guys I know this is only a emotes.  It's a scummy ass move in my opinion guys 8 pound really isn't a lot of money I'm pretty sure most could afford it. The point is it's the only way you can get this Bad move bungee bad move on that note guys. I am out. Thanks as always for stopping by Let me know your thoughts and opinions on this down below in that comments section and hopefully I will see you on that next one


Next one. Cybernator is a hit-and-miss game for the Super Nintendo. To break it down simply, you play as, in fact, a Cybernator, a giant mech robot thing that makes stuff go boom. The controls take some getting used to, but once you do, it's a very satisfying game to play. How can you beat flying around and a huge level shooting stuff till it explodes?  It's just so much fun on the most basic level.  It reminds me of another Konami game, Contra 3. But sadly, I get the feeling that the developers realized this, too, and wanted to differentiate it somehow. So they shoehorned this big epic story in there, something about the axis versus the Federation, the Earth versus the Moon, then everybody's fighting over fossil fuels and I just don't care. It's a nice story on its own, but it does not belong in a game like this. Now you gotta admit, the developers behind Cybernator did take a bold step. They had a can't-miss idea for a game, but then they decided, well, what if we tried to make the player actually care about who and what they're blowing up and why? That's pretty ambitious, but the way they went about executing that was sloppy. They literally just stopped the game so they can run this dialogue past you, where you have to press the B button like 50 times because it's only five words on the screen at a time. Yes, I know, this is Jake, that's why it says Jake, Colin, right there. There are ways to tell a story in a game, but this is definitely not one of them, especially in a run and gun game. Could you imagine if in Contra, the game just freaking paused out of nowhere, just so the guy could say, Home base, you copy?  Other than that, Cybernator gets a lot right. The levels are pretty big. They remind me of Super Turrican, in a way. So you get plenty of space to seek and destroy stuff, but what I like best about it is how much variety it has for a run and gun game. There are shoot-em-up levels, as well as sections where you're floating around in 0G. Well, two-dimensional 0G, but still. There's one level where you're falling from the sky after blowing up the space station. It's really well done. Cybernator is really a run and gun and shooter hybrid. I'm not sure what other game on the Super NES can fit that description. Again, comparing it to Contra, that game just tried to go for variety by doing these top-down levels, and it just felt like a bummer. You always felt disappointed when you got to those levels, and they were at shore to get past. That's not the case in Cybernator. The variety actually enhances the game. So yeah, if you don't mind the constant interruptions, you got to check out Cybernator. It's a blast. Literally.


Hello everyone Ross here, teacher Tugget. Thanks for downloading the resource. I thought I'd offer just a short video to explain how best to use the resource now. This would be pretty dull my demonstration, but if you practice these scripts with your students, it's going to bring your classroom to life, it's going to get your students into good habits, behave, command attention. The research is really clear on working memory that to learn, you have to be attentive in the moment. So when you're a teacher working with 20, 30 students in front of you to command the attention, you need to develop scripts to help manage behavior and move between lesson phases super quickly. So again, apologies for this dullness but in the resource that you've got. So you've got loads of kind of examples from me so essentially on the left, these are the commands that you say out loud or sing. And these are the responses that you want from students so most teachers know one, two, three eyes on me, the students reply one, two eyes on you.   Now if you're watching this, you're getting to enjoy and see me sing into myself. You know there's loads in here when the hands go up, the mouth goes shut. And I've tried to in brackets in here in long places just offer you some kind of help. So I might go, ah, and then the kids respond, my Karena. So you get the idea, apologies for doing this on my own being dull but we might be better with students. Another one here, so I've just come off the screen here. I might want to go zip it, lock it and zip or lock my lips, the students reply, put it in your pocket and they go zip, lock, put it in your pocket. So there's little things like that, quiet in five, four, three, two, one, whisper the students respond. I'll do one more. Just please bear with me if I find one of my favorites. So there's a couple more in brackets but you might want to, you know, the classic song say you, students reply, say me. It's time to listen carefully. Now some of these will be familiar with you all and some will be totally new. But, you know, when a visitor comes in or the head teacher and you can get your students repeating these in rhythm and rhyme and song and in actions. One is going to look fabulous to the students going to love your lesson in three, you're just going to look like a God. So I hope you enjoy it. I hope it's giving you some food for thought at the back end. I've included my mint, the people script and the kiss theory just as three other techniques that I use time and time again. But if you can rehearse these with your kids, choose your favorites. Let me know how you get on and bye for now.


a good fellowship, I think, beats a year of experience. Some fellowships are just straight up money grabs. I'm just going to be honest. They pay you way less than a PA working in that specialty, even a new PA working in that specialty. A lot of the more desirable, more high paying position assistant, inter-practitioner fields like emergency medicine, dermatology, trauma, surgery, I've seen certain cases of surgery, and also like urgent care, the one that I'm completing right now, those kinds of fields tend to have some fellowships. Helping others is a calling. It's not a job. Like fellowships after PA school, right? I don't know if it's something you're considering. Oh man, I am, I looked into it because I really want to get into trauma and I know there's trauma fellowships, but I've been hearing a lot of mixed reviews from everyone. A lot of people at my old work, a lot of PA said like they don't really appreciate it because they think you're getting shipped out of your money. But some people like saw, I recently saw a graduate panel with PA, so they graduated from my program and they said that, oh yeah, we love fellowships. For me personally, having a little one and a wife that I'm going to have to take care of when she's in med school, I don't know if I can afford a fellowship because we have so much loans from undergrad. So in an ideal world, if I didn't have my son, if I didn't have my wife depending on me, yeah, I would consider a fellowship. But my plan is just to really kick butt in my trauma rotations and hopefully land a job because from what I hear, fellowships, yes, are more structured, but you get paid a lot less, right? Yeah. Well, the answer as always is it depends, but not every fellowship is created equally. So some fellowships are just straight up money grabs, I'm just going to be honest.  So they're getting work out of you, you're billing, you're working as a PA, they might even be getting a ton of hours out of you, and they're giving you extra work, so it's some didactic and they might give you a certificate at the end, and then you may or may not be guaranteed or be more competitive for a job after that fellowship in that particular field. So a lot of them legitimately are just money grabs and they're just like getting all this work out of you, making tons and tons of money off your license and paying you very little and at the end of which all you get as a fellowship on your resume, but some of them are excellent. So the best way to kind of distinguish the two is to ask people who have been through them. Do you feel like this was worth it? And also your own situation, the ideal situation for someone like Elijah who wants to work in trauma, at least right now, is get a job in trauma and learn on the job and get paid way more than he would in fellowship and not have all the structured didactic stuff. He can just look stuff up that he's interested in or that he needs to know as you go along. So that would be the ideal situation. If that ideal situation is not possible, a fellowship, especially one with a good reputation would be a good second choice. Does that make sense? Yeah. So you could do that. I've noticed that a lot of the like more desirable, more high paying position assistant and practitioner fields like emergency medicine, dermatology, trauma, and then I've even seen some other ones like surgery. I've seen certain cases three and also like urgent care, the one that I'm completing right now. Those kinds of fields tend to have some fellowships. Like I said, they're not all created equal. Some are very much worth it and you'll be very glad you did it.  So yeah, it's nuanced. It's complicated, but see if it works for you and if it's a good fellowship with a good reputation. I think the hospital that's affiliated with my school has like you said in their ER, they have like a fellowship for advanced practice providers and I was actually, I was looking into it with my classmate because I sat on his screen and he was sitting right next to me. I was like, Oh, are you going to do that? He's like, yeah, I'm thinking about it. I looked up and actually the pay for that one wasn't too bad. It was like $80,000 or $90,000 and I was like, wow, that's pretty good for a fellowship. What are the hours though? That I don't know. They didn't disclose that online. That's the thing is what are the hours? Because it's like, I mean, medical fellowships, like not fellowships, like residents in medicine after medical school, they get like 40 to 60, maybe even 70,000 a year, which isn't terrible. But when you, that they work 120 hours, it's like, well now I'm making less than a Taco Bell employee per hour.  Ideally, the ideal fellowship and there are really good ones out there in that one year and PA school fellowships are one year or not PA school physician assistant nurse practitioner fellowships are one year. In that one year, you get way more experience ideally than you would as just a new employee in that field. That's the whole reason to do it, you know, and then you're just way more competitive because then you have that fellowship on your resume, but also on your resume, you can have did this many of these procedures, saw patients per day with this kind of like level of satisfaction, NPS, whatever, recommendation letters, relationships with physicians and physician assistants, like you can get a lot out of a fellowship that you may not out of just being an employee ideally. And from my understanding, you don't have to work at that same hospital, right? Like you could use that fellowship and apply to a different job afterwards. Yeah, I don't think they can force you to take a contract, you know, as a not an attending, but as an actual physician assistant, they can't force you. No, it's just a fellowship at standalone. They definitely get their money out of you.  I definitely see how that could play an important factor in getting hired to like having that fellowship versus someone who's a new grad who doesn't have any experience in that specialty, especially if you want to specialize in something, right? Like if you want to be strictly emergency medicine and you want to do a fellowship like that, it looks good on the resume for when you actually apply for a job or if you want to stay at that job, if they hire you. Very much so. That's why I was saying, ideally, you get way more experience in that fellowship and you're much more competitive. So like, let's say, first off, ER jobs straight out of PA school are pretty tough to find, especially in like bigger, more desirable cities. So let's say you end up getting one and they keep you on the fast track and they have the physicians doing the actual ER stuff. So you spend a year before you know what a year goes by and all you've done is fast track. So it essentially works urgent care. You've never done one chest tube. You haven't resuscitated anyone. You haven't really put in like a trach or what do you call it? You haven't intubated anybody. You haven't done anything crazy. ER, you've just basically been treating sniffles and broken ankles and then sending them to the ER if it's anything serious. So you've essentially been working urgent care, not ER. However, in this fellowship, they probably have checkboxes for you. You have to do a chest tube or five chest tubes. You have to do X, Y, and Z. You have to do certain type of lacerations, small to big. You have to do all this stuff to complete the fellowship and then you can show on your resume, I've done all this stuff. Whereas someone who hasn't a year of ER experience, but hasn't done really anything except for just very low level stuff, you both have a year of ER experience, but you having completed the fellowship stuff that they promised experience that you would get are vastly more competitive or an ER position than even someone who's worked in the ER, but didn't get all those checkboxes. That makes sense. So if you find a fellowship and you get through it and you've done all this stuff that they promised to teach you, that's very, very good. Even if you happen to get paid less for that one year. I didn't realize that. I know that PAs and the ER do work fast track where the main ED, but I didn't realize that the fellowship would probably give you an edge because you're more well-rounded in the trade aspect. Yeah. It's a good fellowship and they actually deliver what they promised to deliver. Yeah. 100%. Right. Because you could just get a fellowship, but then they did still sticky on the fast track, right? Yeah.  You can quit that fellowship. You don't have to. It's just another job. They can't force you to work the rest of the fellowship.   That's true. This isn't working out. Thanks for my little bit of experience you gave me and my little paychecks and okay, I'm out of here. I'm going to do something else. They can't keep you on the fellowship and you don't need it.   You can do whatever the heck you want. That's also why physician assistant fellowship pay is a lot higher than MD than doctor fellowship and residency pay because you can do whatever you want as a PA. You can still get a job making 90, 100, 120, 150K a year. You don't need this fellowship. You're choosing to do it. That's another thing.  At the end of the day, if there was a trauma fellowship that came across my plate and I felt like at the time I wasn't ready yet or if I still had some doubts, I definitely would take it. That's just my opinion, I guess, as a student that I wouldn't do one now, but it depends on how things progress, how my education progresses. In the future, I may be like, oh, I definitely don't feel ready. I would prefer to do a fellowship. I never know. Yeah. It's more experience. It's more experience per month or year of practice in a structured training program. If it's a good one, then you would get just figuring it out and being sent into the wild as an employee. Perfect example. Let's compare me to somebody I know in my APA school class who started in ER. Let's call her, I don't know, pick a female name, Elijah. I'm not going to use the person's real name. Oh, god. Kelly? I guess that's a good one. I don't think we had a single Kelly, so that's a good name. All right. So me and Kelly, I know this person, I don't know what she's doing now, but she got a job at the emergency room here locally. Right out of PA school, it was her first job. I got a job in primary care and then moved on to this urgent care fellowship that I'm doing now. But let's just say I started doing the urgent care fellowship right out of PA school. Right. So comparing apples to apples, Mary or what's her name? Kelly. Kelly got a job at the emergency room and she's just an emergency room employee. They're using her as much as they can to make money and to see their patients and to do what's best for the ER. I got this urgent care fellowship and they are training me to be the best urgent care PA that I can be to hopefully work with this company or any urgent care. So Kelly goes to work and they're like, all right, what do you know, Kelly? She's like, well, I'm a new grad. They're like, do you know how to treat stuffy noses? Because that's all we can trust you to do right now. And she's like, yeah, I can treat some stuffy noses. So for like weeks and weeks, all she's doing is like, oh, stuffy noses. Okay, this is boring. Give it to Kelly. So all Kelly's doing for weeks is like stuffy noses. And then she might see some other stuff come through. And if she's got spare time, she can ask another provider like, oh, okay, can I sit in on that one? And then after a little while, they're like, all right, Kelly, you want to handle this one?  And now she's doing not just stuffy noses, now she's doing like small lacerations, little one, two, three stitch lacerations. So now Kelly's getting a little bit of experience as she goes along. And, you know, if she's hungry and she wants to learn more and she makes of it what she does, Kelly eventually after a year, you know, sporadically gets little by little by little, more and more experience and is now vastly more knowledgeable and experienced and trustworthy than she was a year ago. Okay, but that's because she makes of it what she did. I have a legitimate curriculum that I have to complete. I have to see X, Y, and X number of these things. I have to do Y number of these things. And I have supervisors and experienced providers working with me hand in hand, at least in the early parts of the fellowship, especially the first few months, making absolute damn sure that I prevent, that I present every single case to them. They tell me what I could have done better. And it's like feedback constantly, constantly feedback. Some people are very nice about it. Some people are super mean about it. Some people are like, Oh, well, yeah, it's your choice. It's your license. But you know, I would probably do this.  But either way, it's constant feedback, constant feedback, and constantly just like learning, learning, learning and checking off boxes because I have to complete the fellowship. So mine is more structured. By the end of the year, I guarantee know these, you know, number of things and probably more. Whereas Kelly may or may not guarantee know a certain number of things. Like piecemeal learns more and more, but they're basically using her and learning is secondary. Whereas for me, learning is primary. So a good fellowship, I think, beats a year of experience. But it's not always like that. Well, I had no idea about this perspective. That definitely like makes me think about it a lot more. Yeah. Yeah. If you are sure that you like that field, or at least you're curious about it, and like you're not just that extra couple of $10,000 is gonna just make or break you for a year. I mean, obviously more training, more like guaranteed experience with experienced providers having to train you is worth a lot, I would say. I might consider it. I'll have to talk with the wife about it. Well, I mean, talk to some people who went through the fellowship first. You know, if they feel like they got a lot out of it, and more people are saying good things than the not, and you're sure that's what you want, I would say certainly go for it. I feel like the more common ones I do see are like what you said earlier, like ER fellowships. I feel like that's just a college game. Yeah. Dermatology, I feel like a lot of them aren't official fellowships, but like dermatology is kind of notorious for paying PAs very little at first, knowing that once they ramp up and get that client base, and if they like it, then they can make those insane paychecks 250,000 a year if they're like hustlers and they're good at dermatology. But at first, they kind of pay very little because you don't have that experience in client base. Which makes sense. Yeah, a little bit. I mean, it's kind of screwed up because you can literally just like treat sore throats and stuffy noses for 90K a year, or 100K a year, or 120K a year, but here you are doing dermatology with a very steep learning curve for like 70K a year and you're like, what the heck, the nurse is making more than me. But a year later, if you really hustle, then you're making like 180 and you're like, okay, this is okay. Oh, is that our ceiling? Like around that number? Oh, no, that's not the ceiling. I don't know. I mean, I don't have good numbers, but I know dermatology people can make insane money, like 300. What? Yeah. Dermatology PAs, if they work a lot, they do a lot of billable hours and they're good and they're fast and efficient and they have a lot of clients. Dude, insane money. Oh, wow. Insane. But I know that a lot of their contracts are kind of like commission based.
