Every now and then a story comes across my desk that has a happy ending, but starts off in a pretty horrendous light. Now you guys know that we are a Nintendo channel, so most of what we focus on has to do with Nintendo content. We'll throw in an occasional Xbox, PlayStation, PC gaming, or industry story, but for the most part we focus on the upcoming game releases, the next platforms or future platform revisions, but sometimes a good but sad story at the same time comes across my desk that deals with Nintendo and we're not talking about like employee abuse or anything like that. What we're actually talking about today is how a child's life was inadvertently saved thanks to not only the efforts of a friend, but the efforts of tracking data provided by Nintendo through somebody's Nintendo switch. That's right, because a child who was kidnapped had their Nintendo switch. They were able to be located and saved from a horrendous situation. This really hits home for me as somebody with three children including someone right around this age. It's one of my greatest fears is that someone will try to kidnap and abuse one of my children. So here is the story. This is over here on GameSpot where it says FBI uses Nintendo switch data to find a missing girl 2000 miles away from home. That's long ways away. Scary. All right posted by Jason Finnelli on July 17th. The article goes on to say a recent missing person's case in Virginia was solved thanks to an unconventional tool as the federal Bureau of Investigation revealed a Nintendo switch was used to locate a missing 15-year-old girl and return her to her family. According to court documents obtained by ABC 15 in Arizona, the girl whose name had not been disclosed due to her status as a minor had disappeared from her home on August 3rd, 2022. After attempts to find her in the neighborhood failed, a friend noticed the girl's Nintendo switch online account was showing recent activity and alerted the authorities. The girl had befriended a then 28-year-old man named Ethan Roberts on the internet. Roberts traveled to Virginia to meet the minor, then brought her with him to his home in Tolesan, Arizona and eventually forced her into child pornography. As the courtroom documents revealed, Roberts allowed her to bring her Nintendo switch on the trip and when she connected it to the internet to watch YouTube and download a game, a friend notified the police of her online status. After an inquiry from Nintendo turned up Roberts' IP address, authorities were able to find his apartment and arrest him 11 days after her disappearance. It's probably nothing that anybody even thought of it at this point. Retired Arizona Department of Public Safety Director Frank Milstead said to ABC 15, the fact that somebody else down the road, another child was bright enough to go, hey look, my friend is online and she's been missing and I need to tell somebody. Roberts was indicted in federal court on multiple charges which included child pornography and transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. After a plea deal, he was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. Now for starters, really happy that this child was found and brought home and whenever I see stories like this because the unfortunate reality is child kidnapping, convincing a teenager that it's okay to come with me and life's going to be so much better and as a parent stories like this are just heartbreaking but also in this particular case it has a positive ending and credits to Nintendo for giving IP address information based on tracking data Nintendo has from her online access on the switch. I do feel that as parents, one thing that I'm often criticized for when anything about me as a parent comes out because I don't quite have someone who's 15, my oldest daughter turns 13 this year, then I have an eight year old and a 10 year old. The biggest thing I get criticized by some often younger people and their whether they're teenagers or early 20s is how much I pay attention to my kids and who they're talking to. The fact that I know all of the access to all of my children's phones that I know all the logins to all their accounts whether it's Snapchat or Facebook Messenger or yada yada yada that I have access to everything and while I don't sit there and hawk over my children non-stop every single damn day it is something that I do check once in a while not because I really care what they're talking about and to be fair some of the conversations I've seen my kids have are just weird they're just weird silly things that kids talk about it is something that well I don't want to pry into their you know quote unquote private lives what I'm trying to actually look for are the warning signs of predators because this is the reality that we're growing up in now that my parents didn't have to deal with when I was a kid there were child predators back then and what we had to worry about was people pulling up on the side of the road offering us candy to get into a van that might still be a thing that happens especially around playgrounds or something or schoolyards I don't know but it seems more and more that we're hearing these stories of teenagers and younger children being basically talking to someone online and choosing to meet up with them which makes it so much easier for the nefarious actions to end up happening I find this to be an interesting situation that we're growing up in this world of technology I mean a Nintendo switch just led to the recovery of a minor and preventing further harm to her who knows if she's scarred of anything right now or what you know what else potentially happened beyond some child pornography photos or something but I I'm just it's alarming to me how few parents in my opinion really pay attention to their children's activities especially online I understand in the world of wanting to provide privacy and letting children have their own lives I don't need to know about all the intimate conversations you're having with your close friends but also your close friends are not really the people I'm worried about the red flags pop up to me when it's somebody who doesn't live around here or when it's somebody who I've never heard of and isn't listed on your class list or any school list that I can find anywhere that starts to really ring the alarm bells when you're talking to complete strangers on the internet who claim to be something that they're not and I didn't grow up in this era where my parents had to worry about that as much we did have like AOL and Yahoo chat rooms and stuff like that but uh it wasn't that bad and it was almost like I had you know I didn't have a phone right there wasn't I didn't have this level of access to that stuff it was limited time frames a couple times a week on on a computer and gosh knows maybe my dad was checking all the chat logs so maybe he knew anyways I I do think that um we need to be much more careful with our children much more protective not overprotective to the point where we don't let our children have lives but protective enough though that we can at least become aware if someone enters our child's life uh even if it's just online that we are that we need to have our warning flags of what maybe even maybe even just conversations with our children as they get older about such things um you know we're very fortunate in this situation that this particular person that that kidnapped her did allow her to bring her switch obviously I'm presuming that he presented a friendly front he himself probably looks a little bit younger because you could still look pretty young at 28 there's plenty of people I know that are 30 years old that could pass for a teenager so I could see how maybe this person looks a bit younger sounds really trustworthy says all the right things of course they're going to let you bring your switch the the weird part of course is I presume this 15 year old must have had a cell phone or something and that wasn't allowed to come with or at least this person was smart enough to turn it off or or whatever the case might be and prevent internet access I I do find it interesting how these situations come up and what's what's really uh what really hits me up with this story I mean this person's 15 they're not some little baby kid uh but what doesn't change about minors from my experience anyways is that they're easily manipulated and at 15 16 17 even 18 uh I remember being that age and thinking I knew everything I knew better than my parents I knew everything you couldn't tell me what to do I knew it all everyone else is wrong and I am right it's very much an attitude a lot of teenagers have so they don't want to listen to the parents they don't want to listen to their peers they don't want to listen uh to teachers because I know better you're just an idiot you didn't grow up in my era you don't know and what happens is they become extremely manipulated by people who are older and it's it's a very unfortunate situation again I'm really glad the story turned out in the positive but I just kind of want to put the message out there that parents we need to be more aware of what our children are doing regardless if they get mad at us about it uh guess what it's okay we're not there to be our children's friends we're there to help them get to adulthood hopefully have them learn the things they need to learn along the way to have a good life and lead a good life and honestly you know there are some parents although the firm of the blue hey if my child hates me then I'm probably doing something right because why do they hate you probably because you're trying to protect them and they're not going to understand that until you're older there are things my parents did to me growing up in a completely different era that I never understood and I got angry about and I argue with them about then now that I'm a parent and I'm you know in my mid to late 30s I now understand what my parents were doing and I have an appreciation that they did that for me that I didn't have back then and I try to remind that myself like that of me like when I'm take grounding my kids from tablets or other things or not letting them go do some fun things because they did something wrong or broke the rules I try to remind myself that as much as I want to give in and as much as that it's okay that my children are mad at the moment because when they're older they too will be able to look back on this and be thankful that they're you know that we protected them from certain situations or that we were teaching them lessons about things that we're going to need to use later in life so you guys do what you want to do am I here to tell anyone how to parent this is just what I do but I'm really glad this situation turned out well and whoever you are hopefully this girl learned a valuable lesson about just trusting strangers on the internet I mean you can't you don't know them you just don't I don't know any of you that's why I don't give you enough information to do anything to ferry us with thank you guys for tuning in and I'll catch you in the next video


Inside this space, guys, do you understand that we get to create life how we want it here? We get to create life that's dangerous and it's super cool. The reason why it's dangerous is because if you can't manage yourself, you're screwed. You're screwed. When you walk in that door in the morning, you're walking into your own playground. Okay? What's it look like? Is it living dangerous? Is it pushing yourself to the edge every day and barber? Is it not having the little inch voice in your head all day long? Talking about like, man, I don't know if I'm going to make it. I don't know if I'm making money. Knock it off. Wake up. What are you doing? You can't think that way.  All you guys are warriors. When I walk up to you guys, I want to see that you have it together. Anything that you don't have together, get rid of it. Who are you trying to impress? You know what impresses me? You know what impresses me? You being authentic. Being a real person who's really winning, who's really changing themselves. The more you change yourself, the more you can change other people. If you don't change yourself, you ain't changing no one. I hired you to become a warrior because I know what you're going to do.   We never put our head down to you. Never. I watch people come in here every day lost souls. I'm telling you guys, you're lost souls. It's in our job to save them. Yes, how can you save them if you're lost? No more. Everybody levels up from this point forward. You guys are our company. You guys are everything. You guys are the future. Who's the future? It's Ryan. You know, it's Stephanie. It's Ian and Evan. It's all you guys. It's Gian. You guys are the future. You're the future, man. How people you play in our company will determine how much more you can recreate yourself on the daily, every hour, every minute. And then lastly, this right here. We don't play the game. We are the game. There are some games. Live dangerously. How many of you guys are living dangerously right now? Some of you are.   Leaders make leaders. I made you guys a leader of your own life. You were following someone else, but now you're leading for once.  No, you're not. You're leading. Does that make sense? Okay? Live dangerously. You guys, some of you guys are living so. You got a schedule.  Now is not the time to have a schedule. Yes, you need enough sleep to perform at a high level. It's the truth.  There is no celebrating at this company. What are we going to celebrate? We haven't even got started yet. This is how I live. Dangerously. I'm all in. Take it off from me.  How many people right now think they're living? They're alive, but they're not living. 99% of the world. You've got to be careful not to fall in that trap.  When you see them drowning, you dive in and try to save them. What's the first thing they do? They drown you. Okay? What are they going to say about you when you're dead? You have to earn that today. By the way, what are you living for right now?  That I'm alive, but I'm also living for the day. And I know it sounds a little crazy, but when I die, right?  I promise you.  You know what's going to happen?  Everybody. Your choice is now. You don't get reduced.  Hey guys, you made it to the end of the video. You are the one percenters. You are not like the other 99% of the world. Most people shortcut. You don't. You're the best. All I want to say is thank you for watching my videos. I appreciate you. I'm grateful. Make sure you like, subscribe, comment below. Lastly, I'd like to tell you, I'd love to meet you in person. Look, I do what's called the Master Closer Seminar every single month in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's why I teach people how to close, negotiate, overcome objections, literally learn how to make a quarter of a million dollars a year to a half a million dollars a year selling cars. We have a 10,000 square foot conference room and we have 400 people that fly in from all around the country every month. Also, if you don't want to trade, you know, maybe live in person and it's more comfortable to train on a course right there from home, go into the description box below. You'll see a list of all my courses, the 0-100K, the Advanced Overcoming Objections course, the Elite Negotiating. They're all phenomenal. The Facebook remarketing, 2.0. They're all amazing. Let's level up. Let's crush it, kill it together, guys. This year I want it to be a record year. See you soon.

As a pet owner, there's nothing more that I would love than if my cats could talk to us. When our cats, Maya and Wyatt, are acting irrationally, I often tell my beautiful girlfriend Tristan that I wish they could talk. I also wonder what they would say if they could talk.  Meanwhile, Wyatt just seems like a grumpy old man. And I think if this cat could talk for a day, what would he say? Would he have a conversation with us, or just a man for us to give him more food? Well, if you're like me and dream of a day where animals can talk, you may be inclined to believe the videos of this viral TikTok dog named Bunny and that they are real. Alexis DeVine is the owner of Bunny, a dog who uses buttons to communicate with Alexis. Although I wish this were real, today we're going to debunk Bunny. Now, don't get me wrong, dogs are extremely smart creatures. In fact, many animals are. As a big fan of the psychologist B.F. Skinner, I know that behaviorism is extremely effective. With the right incentives, we can train animals to do just about anything. But unfortunately, talking isn't one of those things. While there are many skeptics who think that Alexis simply showcases the best takes of Bunny using these buttons, based on the research, I think there's more of a psychological explanation. So we're going to discuss the idiomotor effect and how it can make animals appear to be smarter than they actually are. But first, we need to understand the human tendency of anamorphism. In their book, The Mind Club, Who Thinks What Feels and Why It Matters, Daniel Wagner and Kurt Gray dedicate an entire chapter to why we attribute minds to certain animals but not to others. This is a fascinating chapter, but for the purpose of this video, we're going to focus on anamorphism. Anamorphism is a distorted projection or perspective especially an image distorted in such a way that it becomes visible only when viewed in a special manner. Anamorphism is the reason why people like Alexis can easily make us believe that Bunny can talk with these buttons. And Alexis probably believes it as well. When we understand the history of talking animals, we can get a little bit closer to the truth. And that's why we're going to discuss the story of the math-solving horse named Clever Hauns. But before we get started, if you're new to the Rewired Soul, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. Here we use critical thinking and practice skepticism to better understand the world as well as ourselves. And as always, there are affiliate links down below in the description for all of the books that I referenced in this video. Over a hundred years prior to Alexis and her talking dog Bunny was a math-solving horse by the name of Clever Hauns. In the early 1900s, a man by the name of her Wilhelm von Austin owned a horse named Hauns who could apparently solve complex math equations. A horse that can solve complex math is quite the site. So Von Austin made quite a bit of money touring with Hauns and doing shows. Von Austin taught Hauns to not only add and subtract, but Hauns could multiply, divide, and work with fractions. Unlike Bunny, Hauns didn't have buttons to press, so he would count out the answers by tapping his hoof. If you asked Hauns what is 12 plus 12, he would tap his hoof 24 times. What's 10 divided by two? Hauns would tap five times. Much like Bunny, it was incredible. But back then, they didn't have TikTok or viral sites like Mashable, so Hauns mainly received his clout from newspapers and word of mouth. But even though people were more likely to believe in the unbelievable back then, there were still skeptics and critical thinkers. Some of these critical thinkers were psychologists and they believed that there was a better explanation for Clever Hauns than a horse being able to do math. This psychologist was a man by the name of Carl Stumpf and his work is referenced in some of my favorite books on supernatural psychology, like Super Sense by Bruce Hood and Paranormality by Richard Weissman. I actually first learned of Carl Stumpf in The Skeptics Guide to the Universe by Dr. Steven Novella. Stumpf's work is so popular because during a time when people believed much more in the supernatural, he was brave enough to go against the group and try to discover the truth. Stumpf was able to get Von Austin to agree to letting a team research Clever Hauns to see if the horse really had these abilities or if it was something else. In order to do this, they had to set up a series of experiments and the first variable they wanted to factor out was Von Austin. To ensure Von Austin wasn't somehow giving Hauns the answers or saying some type of code with his wording, they had other people ask Hauns the questions. Surprisingly, Hauns was still able to answer correctly. Score one for Clever Hauns and Von Austin. But then, Stumpf started to wonder if Hauns was clever but just in a different way. If Hauns wasn't getting the answer through language, maybe it was through sight. So, Stumpf and his team hid Von Austin from Hauns' view with his sheet and Von Austin would ask the questions. Lo and behold, Hauns couldn't get any of the answers right. Then, they duplicated Hauns' inaccuracies with other people. So, what was going on? Well, some people would assume that Von Austin somehow figured out signals to give Hauns intentionally the consensus is that Von Austin was just as clueless as everyone else. This is when Stumpf and his colleagues discovered that we often make unconscious movements without even realizing it, which was later called the idiomotor effect. If you remember my previous video on Ouija boards for the supernatural psychology series, this explains why we believe Ouija boards are actually being moved by spirits from beyond the grave. Much like other animals, clever Hauns was extremely intelligent but in a different way. Hauns didn't know how to do complex math, but he did know how to read the slightest body movements when he would tap and reach the right answer and then stop. The subtle movements from Von Austin were Hauns' subtle signals to stop tapping, which gave the appearance of him knowing the answer. So, now that we know the story of clever Hauns and the idiomotor effect, what's up with Alexis and her dog Bunny? By now, I'm sure some of you watching this video are upset and defending Bunny. You're looking for explanations that explain how Bunny is the real deal and trust me, I get it. Some of you may even be pointing to gorillas who use sign language as proof that animals can speak. Yes, it's true that some primates can use sign language, but we often neglect to realize that the brain of a gorilla and the brain of a dog are completely different. As humans, we make the mistake of lumping many animals together, but the reality is that they all have different capabilities based on the nuances of their evolution.  So, is Alexis lying to us? Is this all a setup to go viral? Personally, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. So, I do not think Alexis is playing an elaborate hoax on all of us. I choose to believe that much like Clever Hans and Vaughn Austin, Alexis may not realize that she's giving Bunny cues that give the appearance that Bunny can talk. Without doing a proper experiment, it'd be hard to prove my theory. So, I thought we could just discuss what a proper experiment would look like.  First, we need to see if Bunny could answer when someone else asked the questions, and we'd also need to see if Bunny could answer without seeing the person. Bunny might be extremely smart, but like Hans, she's most likely reading other cues. Another theory I have is that Bunny notices the happy tone in Alexis' voice when she presses buttons that are coherent. This type of conditioning can train Bunny to press certain sequences. It's also important to note that we would need an experiment to verify that Bunny wanted what she said. For example, if Bunny used the buttons saying she was hungry, but then did not eat, that would disconfirm Bunny's understanding of language. Or, what if Bunny said she needed to go outside to use the bathroom, but then didn't go? Remember, a good scientist always tries to debunk themselves to find alternative explanations for events. Finally, as a skeptic, I think it's important to point out how we attribute meanings to the meaningless. As we've discussed in other videos, our brains are constantly trying to make connections. This is why we believe in superstitions, but it's also why we think our pets are trying to communicate. As we'll see in this next clip, Alexis repeats what Bunny's buttons say, love you, no. And this is just another example of anamorphism. Oh, I love you too. But it has an affectionate meaning. Same is true for the larger meanings. I'd be willing to bet that if you monitored Bunny for an entire day, you'd see her pressing a bunch of random buttons that we would somehow then find meaning to within the gibberish. Like the infinite monkey theorem states, a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text. All right, everybody. I hope you enjoyed this quick video. And real quick, I was talking with my beautiful girlfriend, Tristan, earlier, and I'm like, you know what? I feel this feels like Adam ruins everything. Like listen, I am not trying to ruin anybody's fun. I just like to learn stuff and see what's really going on and being skeptical and all that. So I hope you enjoyed this video.  That's cool. I just think it's fun to learn about this stuff. All right. Anyways, again, all those books that I referenced, they are in the description. They are affiliate links.

Good morning, wiki people! Good morning! Question of the week. Head to the profiles of the week, and the question this week is which screen doctor are you most closely connected to? We have some things coming up.


So, in an address to the Arizona Chamber of Commerce, Kirsten Sinema was asked about whether or not she'd support the PRO Act, which is the bill that would expand upon unionization in the United States, make it easier for workers to form unions. And her answer here, I mean, I'm honestly shocked that she had the audacity to admit this, but nonetheless, she just told on herself. She said very clearly who she takes her marching orders from. And spoiler alert, it's not her constituents. There is some concern right now in the business community, as you've probably heard, an issue that our friends at the Arizona Chapter of the Associated General Contractors wanted me to bring up with you, that there's a bill that passed the House, the PRO Act. Give us a sense, as this bill makes its way to the Senate, where you intend to be on this. It's an evolving issue. And if you'd be willing to have a discussion with employers in Arizona about our concerns about this bill, being a disruption to the workplace and to our business environment. Well, I would welcome such a discussion. As folks listening today know, the way I make decisions on behalf of Arizona and for our constituents is by listening to the business leaders who will be impacted by these decisions. So I want to discuss this legislation, and I want to know the impact it would have on Arizona jobs and the economy. Now, there hasn't been any movement on the PRO Act yet in the United States Senate. But I can tell you that many Arizona businesses have already reached out to my office, and I know have discussed the concerns that they have with the PRO Act, with some of the folks who are on our call today. Now, right now, this legislation is not scheduled to come before the full Senate. But we are watching carefully, because some of the PRO Act provisions, especially in regards to the worker classification test for independent contractors, could become a part of other legislative ideas. So I would ask all the members who are joining us today to please stay involved with my office and help me by sharing information about how this would impact you and your company so that I can go back to Senate leadership and folks on both sides of the aisle to discuss the concerns that Arizona businesses have. Wow. Not surprising, but she effectively just told you that she's corrupt. She doesn't listen to her constituents, the people that got her elected. She actually listens to the corporations that lord over her constituents. Unless my donors say this is a good idea, I won't support it. And that's effectively what she's saying here, right? I speak with business leaders, i.e. large corporations. And if they don't like something, I'm not going to do it. And I'm even watching to make sure that parts of the PRO Act don't get taken out and, you know, hidden in other pieces of legislation, such as clauses related to independent contractors and what have you. This is someone who is just straight up representing corporate America.  That is code for I'm representing corporate America. Wow.  No, I'm completely beholden to business leaders. And this isn't necessarily surprising to folks who are astute and who has been following politics because according to a 2014 Princeton University study that I cite all the time by Drs. Gillins and Paige, they found that when it comes to policy outcomes, when you look at what citizens want, we have a statistically insignificant impact on policy outcomes. Whereas economic elites, business interests, special interests, they actually do dictate what what gets passed into law. She's just demonstrating exactly how this process works, how a bill becomes a law. It's not what we were taught on Schoolhouse Rock, right? I wish it were that simple. It is whatever corporate America wants. So honestly, there's no use for Kirsten Sinema here. She should just resign, let Walmart take her position, let Target take her position, Amazon take her position, because if corporations are people in this twisted late stage capitalist society, then we have no use for her. Just let Walmart take over for you. Let the CEO of some company fill in for you. You're just a proxy for them. Like, what is the point? Why would you get involved in politics? If you only want to represent business leaders, what's the point? When she ran, even though she ran as a moderate and, you know, she essentially described herself as a mansion type Democrat, she still spoke the language that a lot of the liberals use. Well, you know, I want to make sure that more people have a chance and I'm focused on equitability, but now she's just full mask off. No, I represent the business leaders and I'm going to discuss what they want, not actually have a meeting with workers, not actually speak with my constituents. I want to see what business leaders want.  But when it comes to business leaders, I definitely want to hear what you have to say. And please be sure to contribute to my campaign. It's repulsive, it's sickening, but it is exactly what we've come to expect from a corrupt politician in America. Unfortunately, this is common. Like, I want to say that this is really something that's an anomaly, but it's not.  And that's what we got from Kyrsten Sinema.


It's not the Wolf of Wall Street


Alrighty, we got a cycle very smooth cycle. It's very cool. I'll like it. Yeah it's neat. Hold on. There is this. Turn off the sun here. Well they love about these. These are always crazy. Look at how much that paw goes in. Nice little angle there. That's the biggest thing about cats. How far in they go. I feel like lions go even more than let's say tigers. That's cool though. That's good front view. The big thing, I mean the head is a bit different there but there's a really big foam on the head. That's my head impact sound. Which is definitely cool to see and I think that's one thing we could push in yours. You get to see the big shoulder stuff. And usually tails are a bit more erratic and references per termination. I think that's fine. It has like a slight soft feel to it but again it's a cycle. I think it's fine. That might be maybe a little like a bit of a stronger up and down just here. Keep this stiffer like a little bit here. But I think we have this here which is great. The biggest thing to me when I was watching this is how we could push the impact. There's just a moment through there. You can see this here where the head and the rest of the body feel like they're a little bit disconnected. If you look at this, see that little boom. That downwards move. That's cool. I like that. I would make that like take two frames out of that and make that a smidge and sharper. And then in the front view, same thing on that rotation. Just a bit of a stronger impact. To me it's like when you have this here and then going back and then with this move here. What is that? That's across the loop. You can see this here. So when you have that much going on right through there. When you see how this part goes over and then it goes over there with the shoulder up. I wish there was a bit more in why. Like how that this section here through that influences this a bit more. It's a dangerous CG to make this a bit too isolated. I like it in the front. The side view. Side view is great. Good stuff in the shoulders. Yeah, it's cool. So silent critique as I'm looking at things. I wonder if this is a bit too over pronounced. Then again, I rarely see top view reference. Now, there is more. The sound out of this guy. And you can see this here. Usually with walks like that on big cats. Like there's a bit of a harshness in here and in here. And it's usually more like in muscles here. The hip is to me always a bit softer than this area. But you can see, well, I know tails are right in real life. But if you look at that to me, it feels like we want to push the moment of this through there. Because you don't want to raise the clavicle here right when this touches. I think you're just okay because you have contact contact. And now it starts to go up. You could potentially delay this up here by one frame. But then technically take one frame out so that that that impact is a bit sharper. To me, it would be making that that impact sharper. And in turn, because this is there's so much strength and like stopping over the chest, going down on that side here. That's when this will shoot down a bit faster. And again, I'm talking like one, two frames literally, just it's just a little bit of a stronger accent. Here's another one. You can see that little wobble in here.  Just a bit sharper and you can you can sense it here too. See that right there. That it's like a one frame pop in real life. Just to give this a bit of a stronger edge again, in here and in here, maybe a little bit in here and a little bit in here. So that there's a bit of an accent here and there to make this less of a soft spliney walk. Cool stuff to all like all that here. Happy picky here when you look at that coming up here kind of hits a wall goes up and up and bam. Right. And then down right on that frame to feel like the strongest it's in this view, just a bit softening of that just a bit. But you got something that's really cool. It's not like this is a rough first pass. I think the ears are a bit soft. You can see that here. I think they're a bit spliney. I would stiffen them up a little bit. Again, I rarely see top view. So this is not really a definite. I'm an expert in this, but this just feels too bendy and soft. I could be totally wrong. But that that feels like something I would tone down. And then just because of an organic asymmetrical nature, I wouldn't go the same amount in and out. So it's like it's lower there. And the other one, which is good. It's not a problem. So I would do one that's a bit lower and less out, which then in turn, for like final pass, like if that's where this pause that height and stuff right. And when the other one comes in, different height, different angle. So you make that really like a bit pushing the asymmetrical nature. And then you can take that overall head and tilt it over by a couple degrees. So there's a slight overall tilt.  The other one doesn't go as high. The tail left and right is not the same mirrored. Just to give it that extra little organic offsetness and imperfection. But yeah, upon pursuing my my biggest thought was this feels soft in the front view and it feels dislocated from the rest. Or every now and then I don't know if it's like, you know, a world space thing, head aligned type of thing. I know how you animate the creature. While it's cool. It's definitely cool. It's all I have, right? This is all Yeah, that's all the reference footage there that you set as well. Really cool though. Nice presentation. I love this. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm totally going to save this and use that as a reference for my students as a great example of what to do. Alright, thanks. Alright, there's an email you can sign up.

I'm Lisa C, the partner of Consumer Practice in Hydric, Hong Kong. I believe CHRO is an increasingly important position in many of the organization, playing a key role in driving people and culture agenda. In some of the organizations, actually the title has changed to Chief People Officer or Chief People and Culture Officer in order to better reflect the role. In the last three years in Hong Kong, a lot of CHRO has been leading companies through pandemic, defining future of work, digitalization and also enhancing employee experience. CHRO is expected to be more aware of external environments and react effectively and efficiently. I think the expectation to become a strong business partner is actually getting higher. Today, the CHRO is expected to have strong business acumen with outside in mindset. They need to be more aware of social environment and external situation and to be able to react effectively. I also expect more board appointment opportunities for CHRO and more involvement in ESG subject. Number one, I think with AI and chat GBT, it will have a big impact on how organization will operate. This will actually require different talents capability down the road. Second is the hybrid ways of working, which a lot of organization is figuring out how to work it out and make it efficient. Third one is the expectation on employee wellness from staff, employee as well as organization. Number one, I think you need to have strong inclusive and empathetic leadership style. Number two, I think it is important to be able to disrupt and challenge status quo. Last one, I would say you need to be very resilient. I believe mental and physical fitness is actually important to sustain performance.


what's up guys I committed myself to making a video a day so today I'm gonna go ahead and show you a tour of my darkroom I'm actually recording this audio at home because I couldn't make the noise at this time or open locks because you know I was holding a camera some cameras a whole bunch of film more film better film I would say so here we have loops we have compressed air for dusting off prints because that's a big problem with black and white photography is that you're gonna get a lot of dust on your negatives and it's going to show up in your print so you always want to keep it clean okay over here we have our negative dryer pretty straightforward it just dries your negatives down here we have reels and tanks for processing here's my first light table I'm gonna go ahead and show you guys if you're new to this what this is for you're gonna go ahead and just throw your negatives on it so you can view them it's a good way to check for dust if you don't make a contact sheet which is basically a print of all your negatives together like me I don't make contact sheets typically because I scan but that's a good way to do it just take a look there this is funny this is for making copy so basically pre-digital you would have even lights set up and then in the middle there you would set up a camera to make copies of images with another camera hilarious another teacher I work with excitedly telling me if I ever want to make copies we have this I'm like yeah I know no dude I'm gonna scan it over there we had a print dryer and this is for mounting prints got a stack of prints here because I never take my work home drying racks not the most ideal way to draw your prints I would say to be honest I prefer to hang and then use a dryer if I have one come where it works spaces all right so now I'm inside the dark room this is without any lights let me go ahead and flip these on so this is gonna be in reverse order as far as the process goes because right here we have water the washer actually which is the last step you're gonna use a bunch of chemicals diaphine my favorite film developer okay what the hell is this yeah that's me saying what the hell is this because I'm not familiar with what chemistry this is and I'm not sure that is okay so we have developer develops a print stop anyway and now I'm talking to myself more light on so we have a few different enlargers I'm not gonna get into how the enlarger works right now just cleaning up a bit this is really exciting I know I know gonna edit that out that's for sure all right under here I have paper that's maybe 50 years old down here slowly I've been testing each pack out and I try to document it how usable it is how much extra time I think it needs if it is usable etc but a lot of this isn't even made anymore here I just have a little bit fresher paper this is a light paper safe so basically in the dark room you don't want to expose your paper you don't want to dig through your box each time so instead you keep it in a safe it's a lot easier to use and access your paper so that's a wrist of paper which is the house of freestyle photo and I actually fine it's really just I think rebranded Kenmore or is it Ken tomorrow I forget I don't really use much of their product perfectly fine paper and it's more affordable than buying ill for other brands so back to the other light table which rarely gets used because you don't really want to turn that on if there's any paper out that's a grain finder so nor so just like when you're pulling focus when you're taking the image you're going to need to pull focus well yeah pull focus on the enlarger basically when you're printing to make sure the image is in focus so right now what I'm trying to do is turn on all the safe lights and see if this camera which is a good camera but I wanted to see if I could get an exposure with all the safe lights on and main lights off I don't think it worked out but we're going to find out right so it looks pretty dark and that's not really a great representation of how dark it actually is when you're in here partly because your eyes do adjust also even at I think I'm at like an ISO of 5600 and it's still really dark here's a print that's drying here's a paper safe here's me toss so that's another paper safe it's just really old one actually better built I would say than the newer ones here very disorganized we have a lot of different things let's see let's wait till I pull in okay we have filters that should be put away in boxes so the filters are for adding contrast when you're making your prints this is a negative carrier for 35 millimeter have negative carriers for every size so there you go so depending on what size negative you're using these are just other filters different type of filter for a different and larger so depending on what size negative you're printing off of that's going to determine obviously the size of the negative carrier but also it's going to determine the lens for the enlarger and here's just another closer look at cameras which actually have way more at home if this looks bad I mean there's I've got like 50 at home random lens filters and caps back of film


Most of us know from experience that our bodies have natural rhythms that affect us in many different ways over the course of a day. We usually wake up in the morning and go to sleep at night, for one obvious example. Some of us will feel sharp in the morning and others will be more alert in the afternoon, but there will be a pattern. These 24-hour rhythms are called circadian rhythms, and we have discovered that they are driven by molecular clocks at work in every cell of our body. It is well known that disturbing these circadian rhythms by shift work as some nurses do, for example, can be bad for your health. It can increase the risk of becoming obese and diabetic, and even becoming depressed. What is much less well known is that our bodies also have natural rhythms that are shorter than 24 hours. Rhythms that may cycle over a few hours. In us, we can see stress hormones go up and down several times a day. Or another example we are not usually aware of is that we cycle through deep and dream sleep several times in any night. We call these fast rhythms ultrading rhythms, and we know almost nothing about them, even though they are always there. The work we do here with Vols is all about understanding how these fast ultrading rhythms are controlled. Are there cellular clocks that control the rhythms in a similar way to the circadian 24-hour clocks? Or are they completely different? To find out, we work with people in our sleep labs, we grow cells, and we study Vols. Why Vols? Well, Vols happen to have very strong ultrading rhythms. Typically, they are awake for an hour and a half, then sleep for an hour, and then wake again. This routine continues day and night. So in many ways, the day is only two and a half hours long. In fact, the ultrading rhythms are so strong that it's almost impossible to detect any circadian rhythms. Vols show very strong ultrading rhythms. But in fact, all animals, including us, show these ultrading rhythms. So, what exactly do we do with these Vols? Well, to begin with, we look at what changes in their bodies during their normal ultradian day. For instance, we took pinpricks of blood from their tails to measure changes in electrical properties of their blood cells over a full ultradian day. We have also surgically placed brain electrodes into some Vols. These electrodes wirelessly transmit information about the activity of the brain, without interfering with the Vols' normal behaviour, such as eating, sleeping and socialising. But to find out what happens inside the cells of the Vols, we sometimes put them down and remove cells and tissues to look at in detail. So far, in our human, Vol and cell experiments, we have discovered that ultrading rhythms operate independently of circadian rhythms. In cells, we know that about 10% of genes have an activity pattern that is circadian. And there are other genes that show an ultradian activity pattern of just a few hours. We can get Vols to shift their feeding times by when we give them food. This changes our ultradian behaviour and is matched with changes in the expression of some genes in the liver. We are still looking for the clock that drives these ultradian rhythms. We have learnt that these rhythms can be seen in the cell's metabolism and we see them in everyday behaviour of the Vol. Whilst this narrows it down, we still are not at a point where we understand these rhythms in full.
