All right, we got one of the newest Yankees right here, Willie Calhoun, dude. Thank you so much for hopping on the beat, and are you ready to check out some of your top performing social media posts? Yeah, I am. I'm excited. We got a throwback. Yeah, I think that was my machine pitch, little league team for my first team, and yeah, so happened to be the Rangers. Obviously spent some time in that organization, but I'm excited to be here. Yeah, you still look pretty good too, man. You didn't really age that bad. Yeah, it's crazy. I still look the same, I think. Everyone still confuses me, I think so I'm a lot younger than I am, but, and it's hard to believe when I tell them my age, but I mean, yeah, that's, I still look the same, the exact same.  You got the MLB mini treatment.   All right, maybe next one. Dude, not that many people get a chance to do this, but this is a stadium that's being built, and you got a chance to take some VP there, man. That was pretty sweet. Yeah, that was, as like they were like starting to build like the new stadium for the Rangers, and they let a few of us go on the field and take VP on it before, like they put like the actual like grass and everything in it, so that was pretty cool. There's another fun memory that you got while over in Dallas, you're at a hockey game.  Which is wild too, because if you look closer, it's you, Trevino's there, IKF, and now you guys are here playing together also. Yeah, it's definitely cool. Tell everybody about this picture right here. That was in Memphis, I believe, and I don't know, 18 or 19, and I don't even, I think I use that to like, because I like to sleep and rest before games, and I kind of like use that as like the bed, and just threw a few towels down, and it was comfortable, so I just take a think. I don't even know what I posted that on. When you're not on a towel inside the clubhouse, you do get a chance to relax with the very nice view.  Yeah, it doesn't get any better than that right there. You're here right with Alex Verdugo, one of your boys, he's got a lot of chains. Are we ever gonna see this amount of chains on you? Because we've seen some so far, but he's got some pretty good eyes. Yeah, no, you won't see me as much as Alex.  Can you let people know why we always shoot the bear, the teddy bear on all your equipment? Yeah, I even have a tattoo of it on my hand, it's just, like I said, I love my sleeve, so and when I was a little kid, like I was able to go to sleep like on the drop of the dime and my parents always said like, you like hibernate like a bear, like a little teddy bear. So I've always had like the bear like thing connected to me and then I was teaching them to little bear in Spanish and that's been my nickname for a while now and it's kind of fitting. Amazing, so we all know now, so I like that description, got the tiger on the shirt and we got the chain right here, so you do have some really good style off the field. Yeah. Kind of like what we were talking about before. Yeah, it's just, I was at one of my teammates like movie launch or something like that. I think it was the line out of the shields, yeah, that was like a Sonic the Hedgehog like movie launch, but yeah, like it was just like a, just like a put together, just like go out with the boys, like type fit, yeah. Yeah, I love it man. All right, and right here, so this is what your truck looks like now, this is what it looked like before, but dude, this is nice. Yeah, I don't have any more though, yeah. Where is it? Yeah, I traded that one in. I got another car with it. I don't have the truck for me was just too big and it was hard to park, so I was like, I don't really, you know, when you're looking to park your truck somewhere, you have to like kind of park far away so no one doesn't ding in or anything, so. Especially in New York City too, imagine trying to park this here? Yeah, it's extremely hard like I said and I just figured I'd get a smaller car and rock with that. Did the mad finish boost the value at all? No, but I mean, I love that color, so I get that on like, you know, all my cars like it. Amazing.  What would you say is your favorite part about social media? Just because like you can connect with like your friends from back home, maybe you don't see as much, because like I said, you go back home too often.  Dude, love it. And why should everybody out there watching this follow you? What do you have to offer? Honestly, on social media, I don't do too, I don't post too much. I just, you know, post like every once in a while and it's just, it's usually of me and my fiancee doing something like at a dinner or something or she'll like tag me in something. I'll just like repost it, but other than that, I mean, I feel like sometimes I'm, you know, pretty fun to follow, but I mean, I don't really do, I don't really do too much on social media. I kind of just stay, especially during the season, I kind of like just stay away from it and just like I said, every once in a while I'll post here and there. All right, we'll shoot out your handle so everybody knows where to go to follow you. Yeah, it's just 11 Willy Calhoun, just that's been my handle ever since I made it. So yeah, I try to keep everything the same. He's my man. Thank you so much for having me on feed, brother. Thank you. Appreciate it.


Hi guys, welcome back to this channel. It's Meks from the next creation. In today's video I want to respond to the question that was asked and it's about changing jobs in Katao and why is it that most of the times the minister of labor that is in charge rejects what we call the applications or most of the time you may take long to be to to get the feedback or even being approved by the minister of labor for you to change a particular job that you want to go to something that I need to share with you and something that I really want to share with you in one word that is that most of the times when you are looking for a new job it's going to be in what you call phases first of all you have to think about the job you are going to really apply for which other position you want to do then second of it all you have to know which company are you going to work for that is quite very important so after identifying those two things you can put them on a priority you put them down on a paper that is what you call a plan for yourself when you put that on plan of yourself you start up you start up going to these jobs or to these companies that you want to go to and get what you called maybe submitting your CVs and after submitting your CV if you're so lucky enough they will call you and give you getting through what you call the interviews and after getting into the interviews they will definitely give you what you call the offer later yes that is where we come in most of the times when we are looking for these companies I keep on telling people look for that company that is a real big company not a small company like where you're coming from look for a bigger real known company for you to look up that big opportunity for you remember when we go to these small companies most of these small companies also have their own problems in one or the other which problems may not be an internal problems as concerning the employees in one or the other but they may also have small problems what you call financial problems and remittiness that may be to the ministry of interior or the ministry that is responsible for that case remember most of these companies or companies here do pay what you call taxes to the government for what we call the trade license they do pay some obligations they need to pay some services for services that from charged by the government so what happens most of the time if you go to a company that is really small and that company has some paying charges with the with the with the government with the responsible government offices let's say for example this company you go to it has not been paying well what you call the trade licenses it has some penalties it has some other dues to clear up and this is where the company you want what you call an offer later so for this matter when you take that offer later you will take that offer later to what you call your employee to give you what you call an NOC but remember when you are getting an NOC from your employer that employer also has to give you what you call a computer card a computer card has to be part of what he gives you with the NOC to enable the to enable the new company switch you from the other old company to the new company without any hurdle but most of the times when you submit what you call your offer later you submit your computer card from the old company to the ministry or you give them to your employer for your employer to take them to the ministry to see that they can change your job or change your amicably in a very good way that's where the problem comes from because the company that is taking you has some obligation or service charges that it not pay or it has not been following what you call the government laws or the government rules that have been put in place that means you are not going to be approved very fast as it is required that is why most of the times I keep on telling the people before you you think of going somewhere first research first sit down think of what you want to do or what you want to do next after this old job where which other career you have to go to oh if I want to switch the job which other job I want to switch for and which company do I have to go so most of those things are very quite very important in at the end you get a company that is really big and that company you know the big company is definitely they will definitely settle out the obligation and settle the services that they normally don't want to get these other extra penalties one way like small companies that may try to indulge in one way so meaning that the offer later you will get it will be a genuine it will be approved because even the ministry when you submit that offer later the ministry will go deep to find out what is the working of this company is it a very good company yes is it a very small company yes how has it been performing in full feeling or paying up the services that are being charged or what they are supposed to pay so you find that if all those are got from what you call a good company and a very known company you are not going to have hurdles or view waiting for so long or view rejecting or your your change in one world that's why you find sometimes sometimes some people have been so lucky that they are accepted or approved very fast because of what i've really tried to let you know hope i've tried to share something for you and this is exactly what you need to follow thank you so much for coming back to the channel remember this makes don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to hit notification bell however don't forget to like follow and comment and already more than happy to get back to you thank you so much see you again this makes from the next creation tv


Any questions about this? All right I would like to go on to the um to the next topic which is going to be um interfaces for virtual reality. I want to give you a high level overview this time and then in the next lectures we can we can finish up. So, we are up to let us say the highest level. Oop I have made a mistake I want to say something about combination of senses um let me back up just a bit. So, I finished talking about audio I have finished talking about visual senses. Let us think about multiple senses now and how all of these come together in virtual reality. So, I want to talk about that first before getting to higher level concerns such as interfaces. Combination of senses. So, what have we looked at so far? We have the vision sense, we have auditory sense, hearing, we have vestibular, we have not talked about rendering directly to the vestibular organ right, but but I am making displays for that, but it nevertheless is impacted by virtual reality. So, it becomes important. We did not spend time on haptic or touch, but that is also very important for virtual reality. I could spend easily a couple of lectures as I did for the auditory case we could talk about haptic feedback as well. And one that gets a lot less attention, but we might as well include it for completeness is smell and taste which provides information through chemo receptors. Let us see and haptic and touch could include a sensing of temperature as well all sorts of other possibilities. So, it is most thermal and sensing of forces along our skin in various places. So, we have all of these senses and within each one of the sense we have cues within each sense right. In the case of vision we talked about binocular cues and monocular cues, we had binoral cues and monoral cues in the auditory case. In the case of haptic or touch we could have cues coming from many different parts of our body right. And remember that we get perception through the combination of cues. So, our brain is making some kind of interpretation through a combination of cues. So, one thing to pay a lot of attention to which is important is that the cues could come from multiple senses and be combined together to provide a coherent view. And that is something that if you combine vision with audio, you have a very powerful set of cues and that greatly enhances the virtual reality experience. So, this is very important to make use of that. If I could further combine that with haptic or touch if I give force feedback for example, perhaps my virtual reality system is being used to train doctors right to perform surgical operations and they want to feel the resistance of the materials as they use instruments, they would have touch feedback in this case right. So, that would be combined with vision that would give them additional feedback to enhance the experience to make it more real and make it correspond more closely to what would happen in the physical world. There are interesting combinations here. For example, if I take auditory and vision and put these together there is one very well known effect that helps explain how cues from each of these combine to give us perception and this is called the McGurk effect. So, if I do the following experiment I show you a video of someone speaking words or in this case maybe particular syllables of sounds. And I also present audio of that at the same time and I put them together. In the real world these are consistent right. So, if I make a a ba sound you hear ba and you see my lips coming together to go ba. If I go ga then you do not see my lips, but I can make it so that the auditory and visual parts are in conflict. It turns out this was shown by McGurk and other colleagues have done similar things that if you change what you see and what you hear your brain will construct something different from that. And so, one of the very simple experiments they did was the spoken part was ba.   So, it will still seem to you that you have heard a da sound because there is a mismatch between the vision and auditory part. So, you can go off watch videos on this it is a fascinating effect. So, sometimes in an optical illusion I can tell you about the illusion and you go ok I do not see it anymore I see what is going on right. Some kind sometimes not and the McGurk effect it happens at such a low level. So, your perception of what sound has been made by the person speaking depends on the combination of vision and auditory that you will swear that they have said something that they have not said just based on faking the part. So, people who have difficulty in hearing of course, read lips to enhance the information that their hearings, but we are doing this all the time even if there is no difficulty with our hearing. And it gives us this overall picture of what has been said you think it is just purely your ears, but it is actual visual together with your ears it gives us the perception of what has been said. So, that is fascinating. If we go off in another direction we have these senses where virtual reality is generating a conflict between these every time we grab on to a controller and we move the avatar forward while we are in the real world just sitting in place. So, that is a vision cue that is causing us to perceive acceleration forward and the vestibular organ knows that we are not and that ends up being a fundamental source of simulator sickness right. So, very important to consider how these things come together. Up here we have I described a mismatch called the McGurk effect where it just causes you to perceive a different sound. Here I have a mismatch where it might cause someone to vomit right. So, very interesting to study these and understand the effects of these. Now, I could try to go and put all three of these together as I have said. And so, when I move my character forward I may generate sounds that correspond to that maybe I will change maybe I will hear some wind and I will change that as I am accelerating right. So, I will change the sound that is hitting my ears I will present the right visual stimulation the vestibular sense will still be in disagreement with that. So, what happens in that case is it like an election maybe these two very strong senses out vote this one and your brain just accepts it finally. Or no maybe it continues to cause discomfort due to the conflict experiments need to be done on these things. And I have not touched on this subject as at all right, but we can bring this into the into the into the combination of senses as well and taste and smell as well. And again talk about what happens when these cues are consistent in VR you get a more powerful experience when they are inconsistent in VR. You get maybe some level of disbelief maybe some level of fatigue because there is some discord between these senses maybe there is just a temporal shift due to latencies that again might cause some kind of fatigue or disbelief. And ultimately in some of the worst cases there is sickness which is the very well known case of vision and vestibular being in mismatch which we called vexion. All right questions about that so that is the extra part I wanted to add to this.


The only thing we are supposed to do while we're here on earth, like this out, is grow closer to the divine. That's it, that's our job. Our consciousness, our souls, it doesn't need money. It doesn't need fame, it doesn't need status. All of those things are our human mind, our ego. They're things that we think actually matter, but they don't. As soon as we leave this earth, that stuff we don't care about. We might not even remember, we don't need it. We don't want it, we don't care about it.


What are the age groups? What is the aim of the program? So I work for the Indigenous Education Department at Nara College supporting all types of learners from academic upgrading, diplomas, post-grad, and alternative programming. Our program is firmly committed to developing new and better ways to meet the growing needs of Indigenous students. We have a strong partnership with Indigenous communities and understand Indigenous culture and tradition. Most of our learners are anywhere from 18. Did you talk about how you measure success of your program? I would say that success is best measured by the means of the students. We will see this in the retention rates and academic measures. Our main focus is about keeping students engaged in the lounge as a safe space to learn and grow. Studies have found that Indigenous students will thrive if they're in a similar environment to their community. So we would say that if we can engage our students and retain them in the lounge, that that's our measurement of success. I would say the lounge aims at meeting the needs of all urban and on-reserve Indigenous students who come to the college, some as far as Thunder Bay to our local students as well, who have grown up right here in the region. We want to make sure that we're mirroring some of the objectives that they're finding in their community. So we have a visiting elder that comes weekly. We offer soup luncheons. We have cultural workshops, self-exploration, healthy stress management, academic sports, and community development. We want to make sure we're mirroring that holistic approach to make it more inclusive to a family setting. Some of our target programming will be focused more on health wellness. We have a SEATS program that we run, a mentorship program for our students because we understand that peer support is very important for the success of our students. So we want to make sure that we're not only measuring success within ourselves but within each other so we can see that as a progressive for the whole of the lounge. So you're talking about the success of the program and we're talking about how you see a change in your students, also change in your students because of the program and the lounge. I would say that you can see the growth of each student through the initiatives they're taking within the lounge. So a lot of times we'll have faculty or support staff looking for guest speakers, our student input, and they'll come to the lounge looking for that guidance. And I think mirroring the recommendations through the TRC, we're kind of empowering that type of voice within academia. So we will utilize our students voice as the experts. So taking a different approach to traditional knowledge and letting the students act as the expert of their field, this is empowering to them. This is an opportunity for the college to learn a different way of understanding knowledge. And it's a way in which we see growth of our students to kind of tap in to that type of knowledge they've been given from their ancestors and bring it into the setting. That's really cool. Very cool. Another question that we have here is what challenges have you faced and how have you overcome them to make the program success? I think in this type of setting, at this type of learning setting, there is a key concept about space and taking up space. So ultimately we are provided a lounge at both campuses that is designated to Indigenous self-ideed students, but our identity is greater than that space. So it's about taking up space in other locations across the campus where you may or may not have already had an experience with Indigenous content or Indigenous people. Many faculty or support staff might not recognize if there's Indigenous person in their classroom or if that's one of their clients. So we're here to take up that space to kind of have that identity for our students, some of our challenges. For question two, from your perspective, what is Indigenous education? Indigenous education is about creating a culturally-sensitive space in an environment where Indigenous students are able to explore their identity and share their culture. It's supposed to be a positive experience. This should be a safe space for them to talk about some of their experiences across the campus. Ultimately, majority of our students are taking that perspective of two-eyed seeing, living within two worlds, whether they're just coming into their culture or whether they're challenging Western ideology. This is an opportunity for them to kind of understand their place within the college. There is a subculture that's already in place here. It's up to them to kind of find out where their identity meets. We focus highly on the cultural components within the lounge that keep them safe, smudging, having a circle, meeting with the elder. These are all important aspects of Indigenous education. What is your vision for Indigenous education over the next 10 years? Over the next 10 years, I hope to continue to be the bridge between Indigenous education, the larger campus culture, to empower students to take risks and challenge the norms to foster a more inclusive academia. Right now, we hosted our second annual Indigenous Awareness Month. We've hosted film series, different workshops. We're looking at more signage, more visibility. For the next 10 years, it's more about bringing Indigenous education to the greater parts of the campus so that Indigenous students are in academia they're able to see themselves more visibly.


They are not better than an MLM company because they are an MLM company. Hello friends, it's Madison Harnish back in my blue kitchen for another video. It's MLM time. Today we're going to be discussing MLMs that aren't really talked about much or kind of hidden or under the radar that not a lot of people know about. And some of these are really weird. Yeah, there's companies like Amway and Herbalife that try and hide the fact that they're an MLM company and keep it under wraps. But those companies are still a bit more known and talked about in general. And today I just wanted to discuss a few different companies that have been requested and people have been asking me to touch on that are just really unusual and kind of strange companies. If you're new to my channel and you're new to MLMs, first I want to say that the acronym MLM on my channel does not stand for men loving men. I have gotten a lot of comments of people that are kind of in the LGBTQ community that are very confused by my use of the word MLM. That's not what I'm talking about. What I talk about when I say MLM is multi-level marketing companies. And what multi-level marketing companies are are basically a version of a pyramid scheme. Most people lose copious amounts of time or money getting sucked into an MLM. And my channel is all about exposing unethical businesses and scams like MLM companies. So if you have a story to share about a scam or an unethical business that you've experienced, please click the link to my website down below and click on share your story to help participate in exposing these scammy companies. Also, don't forget to subscribe and like this video if you want to stay in the loop on the latest unethical business videos from yours truly. And well, let's get into the video. This first company I just had to talk about because it reminds me of KM's magic beads that I talked about earlier in another video, except for it's almost even more out there than that. And I know that's saying a lot, but hear me out. A crazy, bizarre MLM company that I haven't seen a lot of people talk about is the company Nikken. I think that's how you say it. I don't know. And honestly, I don't really care because they don't deserve the proper pronunciation of their business. Nikken is an MLM that sells magnets in bracelets and necklaces that are supposed to be used for therapeutic purposes. So it's therapeutic magnets. And that's the first time I've ever heard of magnet therapy before. So it was a little bit bizarre to me. Our feet are killing us. For this reason, shoe insoles are a popular consumer product. But at Nikken, we know that an ordinary insole is not good enough. Introducing Mstrides. KENKO Mstrides are the latest result in a long process of Nikken research and development that began with the company's very first product, MAGSTEPPS, a revolutionary magnetic insole, the first in the world. MAGSTEPPS replicated the magnetic field that human beings have lived in for millennia, a natural force whose influence has been reduced by the artifacts of modern civilization. Nikken proclaims professional athletes, amateur athletes. Of course, you've got to add both professional and amateur athletes in your product description. And thousands of other men and women have discovered magnetic bracelets. I picture people just like discovering magic bracelets like they pick one up and they're like, oh look, it's a magic bracelet. And Nikken's like, 1001 people have discovered magic magnet bracelets instead of them like actually wearing it and enjoying it, you know, just them discovering it. Many sports bracelets or necklaces include magnets, but Nikken combines this with ceramic and tourmaline. Oh great, another MLM company taking advantage of the ideas of crystal healing. Are we really that surprised? For some reason, MLMs love to use these small groups of people that have these beliefs and just take advantage of it. But anyways, Nikken combines this with ceramic and tourmaline to provide a combination of high technology and advanced design. Literally nothing they just said has anything to do with technology or design. They just talked about magnets and crystals and are saying that this is high technology and advanced design, like try again. So what is this magnet therapy that Nikken is abusing, I mean using in their products? Magnet therapy is the pseudoscientific alternative medicine practice, which are we really surprised? It seems like MLMs these days and alternative medicine practices just go hand in hand, you can't have one without the other. And they believe that by subjecting certain parts of the body to these weak magnets, somehow has beneficial health effects. If you know more about the logic behind the benefits of magnets on the body, please let me know in the comments down below because I have no idea logically how that would even begin to make sense, but okay. The American Cancer Society states that available scientific evidence does not support these claims.  The next MLM that I feel like isn't talked about enough is new skin. Lately, I've had a lot of people in my comments ask me to cover new skin, but I haven't seen a lot about it in the anti MLM community. Funny enough, I had someone give me a new skin facial cleanser once, but they never tried to sell me it or get me to join their team. So I never really thought anything of it or thought of it as an MLM until I was told it was one by someone in my comments. New skin was founded in 1984 in Provo, Utah. The company listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1996 and markets its products in 54 different markets through a network of approximately 1.2 million independent distributors. Now that's a whole lot of people and a whole lot of markets to be under the radar and very unknown in terms of the MLM community. In the 1990s, the FTC investigated new skin over complaints of its multi-level marketing practices. In 1992, new skin reached a settlement with five different states that had accused the company of deceptive advertising and overstating the income earned by distributors. They did what? MLM companies using deceptive advertising and overstating the amount that distributors can make? That never happens. Never ever. What are they talking about? FTC, you're crazy. No, that never happens. But on a real note, if new skin was almost shut down and had to pay millions to the FTC for deceptive advertising and falsely stating income claims, shouldn't that be happening to every MLM company out there? Because literally every single MLM company does that. So I'm a little bit confused on why new skin was targeted, but so many others slip by. If anyone knows, please let me know. Anyways, it seems like the reason why a lot of people don't know about new skin is that the FTC pretty much forced them, at least it seems, to stop the advertising that they were doing and be a little bit more silent. You know, they have a lot more restrictions on what they can and can't say and how they can recruit. So they're kind of unable to be as loud and out there as other MLM companies. China, yes, China itself sued new skin in a Utah federal court in which new skin settled for $47 million paid to China. Yeah, like an entire country sued new skin. So there's that next company on my list today is one that completely confuses me. This company is called send out cards, a greeting card multi level marketing company. Yeah, that's right. Send cards to your grandma while participating in a scam at the same time. Basically send out distributors are encouraged to get people to join the send out membership and encourage them to well send out cards compared to the alternative medicine. This will cure all your ailments type of MLM companies. This isn't as bad, but I just feel like it's a little strange in general. It's like a strange company to make a multi level marketing company. It's like greeting cards themselves are so wholesome and personal and harmless in general that you send to your family, friends and loved ones. And it feels like all that wholesomeness is just completely ruined by turning this into an MLM company. I just think how many people use greeting cards. I really don't think it's enough to be calling up someone or messaging them on Facebook constantly asking if they want to purchase more greeting cards from send out card. It seems like you'd kind of run out of people or options really fast. If I think about people that use greeting cards still today, it's my grandma. And that's it. My one grandma, not even the other one, just one of my grandmas still uses greeting cards. And that's the only person, literally the only person I know that still uses them. So it just feels like you'd run out of people to sell to really, really fast. Next up on this hidden or kind of unknown MLM list is the lovely awaited Market America. Market America to me reads like an amway on steroids. They literally sell absolutely everything from cleaning supplies to jewelry, personal care products, auto care, cosmetics, dietary supplements, custom websites, water purifiers, and weight management products. I mean, the whole business is genius. Haven't you ever gone into a mechanic or auto care shop and thought, you know, it would be so great if I could also pick up some jewelry here. And while I'm at it, if I could pick up some cleaning supplies, like some Clorox or Swiffer. And on top of that, shouldn't this mechanic shop make my website for me? Well, if you thought that then Market America is the company for you. I mean, that's really just my point exactly businesses like auto shops or jewelry stores are made to specialize in one thing so that they can do that one thing really, really well. That's why an auto shop doesn't sell jewelry as well, because they specialize in vehicles and cars and jewelry specializes in jewelry and the right types of jewelry and the great quality and sourcing and all of that stuff, you know, like they're good at what they do. They're knowledgeable. And if you combine all those businesses together, the chances of all of them being as high quality as an auto shop as a jewelry store, in my opinion, is very, very low and not likely. If someone's telling you that you need to buy all your goods in one place, they're probably not going to be the best quality. And it's probably a scam that you're getting into Market America was founded by top and way distributor J. R. Ridinger. I don't know. I don't know how to pronounce that one. The company has resolved charges with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and has been accused of violating the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. So, you know, overall, Market America seems like a very trustworthy company. The last hidden MLM company that I want to talk about is one that I have personal experiences with, Beauty Counter. Someone I was friends with on Facebook once reached out to me trying to sell Beauty Counter and recruit me into her team. And she showed up at one of the yoga classes that I was teaching to try and talk to me about the lovely Beauty Counter. When I went home and looked online to research Beauty Counter, the weird thing is it comes across as a normal non-MLM company. Through their website, they do a lot of website sales and they have a lot of traditional advertising like Facebook ads, billboards, etc. that a lot of MLM companies don't do, or at least it's more rare. You know, most MLM companies, their main source of revenue is through their MLM distribution kind of pyramid. And it seems like Beauty Counter focuses mainly on online sales with a little side thing of MLM. You know, they're dipping their toes into the MLM bucket. This whole MLM underbelly of Beauty Counter is only slightly touched on in their join section at the top of their website in very small lettering. Under join, they only say become a consultant and in no way does that signal become an MLM distributor for Beauty Counter. I mean, you think of makeup consultants in the mall who have you try on different beauty stuff. And that's what I think of when I think of beauty product consultant. I don't think MLM distributor. So the messaging is very vague and seemingly very purposefully vague, but that almost pisses me off too because to me, that's just a company being deceptive on what it's trying to sell you. And because, let's be honest, most companies try and sell you on becoming a distributor with them. I feel like if I wasn't aware of Beauty Counter being an MLM company, I wouldn't be able to read their join section and put two and two together that they are a MLM network marketing company. So what does Beauty Counter have to say about becoming a consultant on that section in their website? Lipstick meets legacy and it has women in these like business looking attire as if they're like, you know, very clean cup professional ladies. This is bigger than a paycheck, although that's nice too. It's about community and momentum and challenging the status quo. It's about building a better future for yourself and those you love. It's about being fearless in the pursuit of your best life. That's what's so interesting to me is it's like MLM lingo, but in a more like professional tone as if it's once again, trying to really hide the fact that this is MLM and it's trying to come across as this like very professional business woman empowerment type of thing. Side hustle or main hustle, you're the boss, you decide. When it comes to building your Beauty Counter business, our platform empowers you to create a career that fits your lifestyle. We provide the framework you need to be as successful as you want to be. It's all up to you. Yeah, because 99% of people fail at MLM companies because it was all up to them and they just decided that it wasn't for them.  I mean, if you even look at Beauty Counter prices, they're so overpriced. I mean, I think that the lady that I was talking to was trying to sell me a like what nine-pan eyeshadow palette that was like $200 or something like that, 150 to 200. I can't remember. I'll post it on the screen here, but that's an insane amount, especially for consultants to continually have to buy this makeup that's so overpriced and then to have this air of like, you can succeed. It's your choice with Beauty Counter. We're professional and you're building a business and like to have these photos as if this is such a legitimate business is almost more upsetting to me than other MLM companies because it's extremely deceptive and they're trying to act as if they're the more professional out of all these options when they're just like everyone else. Our clean promise, there are more than 80,000 chemicals on the market today. Many don't have any safety data. This is particularly true of those used in the skincare and beauty industries. At Beauty Counter, over 1500 questionable ingredients are never used in our formulations. That whole clean beauty fad that I think really a lot of companies are taking to their advantage just to have overpriced products and use it as a marketing tactic to justify their insane prices for their products when, for me personally, like I can use a product that has like silicone and all these things that they see as bad ingredients and it's just fine. But I use a product that has essential oils or sunflower oil or things that they say are good in their product.  And second off, I break out like crazy.   It's supposed to be good for like acne prone skin. I believe it has some essential oils, but it just happens to work well for my skin and not break me out too much. Although I do get breakouts to believe me. But yeah, it's like it's just finding what works for you. And I feel like a lot of these beauty companies take advantage of that clean beauty movement to sell overpriced products. Take a chance. Walk the walk. We got you. No, you don't. The person that I was talking to was so desperate to make a sale. She was constantly like you could just see it in her face almost that like worry and desperation of wanting to make a sale. She messaged me months later and months and months after that continually messaged me to try and get me to work under her. So it's like, no, you don't got us. No. We have all our reasons to get behind hashtag better beauty. Your story is enough. You'll be your own boss, but you're not in this alone. Whether you need mentorship training online support or a high five virtual or in real life. Beauty counter is here for you always. It just really upsets me because I don't know why, but I just get this air of attitude and snobbiness out of beauty counter that's even more over the top than other MLM companies as if they're like the better, the best of them all, the most professional, the most like accepting. And it's just like that doesn't matter.   They're not better than an MLM company because they are an MLM company. So that concludes all of the hidden or undiscovered MLM companies out there. A lot of these have some really interesting a lot of these companies have some really interesting parts to them or, you know, facts about them. But since I've been getting so many recommendations for MLM companies to cover, it's really hard for me to do full dedicated videos on each company or topic. So this kind of format of a video is necessary basically so I can give you the richest amount of content in the shortest amount of time, which is a big goal and something that I'm trying to constantly balance and figure out. But if you want to see a part two to this video, definitely give this video a thumbs up and comment down below some other bizarre weird or undiscovered MLM companies that not a lot of people know about. And that'll definitely help me in my research to create more videos like these.

And thank you guys so much for watching and supporting my channel. Until next time, have a good one.


I'm just going to wait until everybody is seated before we get our final session underway. And as everybody has now arrived, please do take your seat. And I'm going to hand you over to Vivian and David in a moment to share lightning excitement, which I have to say you really deserve given that you are resisting the combined temptation of sunshine and either caffeine or beer. So I think you deserve a lot of credit for being here. As you know, we support the conference as an association each year. And I wanted to give one of our trustees and president of our moment to give some special thanks. Thanks, man. So I'm just going to keynote now, no, I'm not here. Yes. I'd say the OR conference is probably my favorite conference. It's kind of got a really good vibe. It's great people. And I always like the settings, but that stuff doesn't happen by accident. I'd like to welcome the all team on the stage and I'd like to give a really well organized conference. Thank you, everyone. All the hard work. And I think Harry did most of the work. Thank you. So thank you very much. We'll all be busy behind the scenes while you enjoyed the rest of OER 18. But together with my colleagues, it was a real pleasure to host you. And I think we're ready now to take our seats ourselves and hand over to David and Vivian for the lightning OER plenary. Please give them a very warm welcome. Thank you very much. Oh, sorry. Let me know organizers. We're actually really delighted to introduce just this last little section of the conference which has utterly been awesome, hasn't it? And what's doubly exciting is we wanted to leave it open and to reflect some of the newer voices within the community and people to share ideas. And I'm really just so overjoyed to have the people come forward that have come forward. So we've got four lightning talks, actually. And there's also going to be a hashtag where, as with last year, we had the I Will thingy. We can share our pledges, our commitment to open on Twitter afterwards, which I'm sure we'll all do. So I don't think we've got the first slide, Martin, or do I? Yay! Without further ado, I'd really, really love to introduce one of our PhD students from the community from Mauritius. He's going to quickly introduce himself. And Preeti is going to just give a lightning five minutes of some of the whole work and what she thinks about the community. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I really like this concept of saying what you feel like about, because this is simply where at the same time. First of all, I'm very grateful for being here. I'd like to thank the organizing committee, and especially Marin for organizing all this, and she's been really awesome. My presence at the conference is the first time here. My tennis is OER 18 conference, and I'm not regretted at all, especially because I've been able to read a lot about what's happening internationally about OERs and open educational practices. But coming here just makes a whole lot of difference, because it actually tells you what are the issues that people do talk about, but not what's not written actually at times. It makes a real difference in that way. Secondly, what I think this conference has brought to me is in terms of personal experience. There's been a lot of interaction, and I was so happy to hear all the keynote speeches. They were also wonderful. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to meet a lot of people, but that's what you do when you have two days only and you have to rush back home because you've got a lot to do. So the thing is, with a conference like this, it's not only about OERs, it's not about OEPs actually only. It's about societies, it's about context, it's about people. And I think that if we have to promote OERs, it's about betting also on this argument. What are we doing with people, to people, and along with people when we meet them back in our home country? So that's a powerful question, probably, that is going to be at the back of my mind when I go back home. Not only because I'm a fervent advocate of what humanity comes in for first, what community represents first, but also because I'm very much interpretivist by nature and I like to represent the context first. And I think that I've said it before in one of my speeches I had earlier and I think that if we have to forward the agenda of OERs across countries, irrespective of every different context, we have to respect those context first. It's not about pushing an agenda, it's about pushing humanity first. And here comes the argument. How can OER help communities develop? How can OERs help be institutions, be teachers, be advocates and researchers? What does that happen? Then next thing I'd probably like to highlight is the value of young voices coming from the global south. I was happy when I came here at the first year at the registration desk. There was this book that was on the table actually. So I have a chapter in that, chapter eight, if you want to go and look at what the chapter is all about. But it really represents again the context because that was a research that was done with Mauritius as a context, Rwanda and also Tanzania, and it was done with collaboration with the people from the Open University UK. That was a great project. And I had the opportunity to work with them. That was great as well. Probably the next thing is about teachers. Unfortunately, what I feel about probably we talk less and less about is the teacher's voices. And I think probably this is what we can do a little bit more of. When we talk about open educational resources, those people who are concerned first is the teachers and they are there fighting, struggling every day. And not only about technology, because that's just a massive agenda and everybody talks about technology, but it's also because teachers black in their classroom fight a lot against the system at times because they are told to do this, do that, do that. And I think not sufficiently we haven't been able probably to just address that. So this is one of my takeaways. Some of the issues that I've been listening to, some of the wonderful conversations I've been having with people, I thank you all for giving me this opportunity to just be here and at the same time interact with so many of you. So I have a lot of takeaways in my bag, actually. A lot of them. And as I say, the best one is actually the human interaction that we've had and I take forward the issues for so many reasons. I hope back we're home. I'm going to share back all this and it's not going to be the first conference. I hope there'll be more. Thank you so much. Thank you very much. So that was actually three and not five minutes. Thank you pretty. If for your insight, you're absolutely right about the place and the voice of teachers a problem, not only within the community of content, but in the kind of wider education policy. We need to spend more time listening to teachers voices and I'm glad you've had chance to contribute your own voice and to listen to voices here at the conference. So thank you for a great reflection. Really appreciate that. So next up we have Marshall McLewitt. No, we don't. That would be a coup, wouldn't it? But even better. Next up we have Taskine Adam, who is going to share us five minutes of reflections and thoughts about the conference. So hi everyone. I'm a PhD student at the University of Cambridge and I'm from South Africa. So the first thing I want to say is thank you to all the speakers who spoke throughout this conference. You guys are so thought provoking. It was really incredible. And really a big, big thank you to the conference organizers. You guys put a lot of work into this. Now I offered to give this rapid fire session after Dr. Mamouda Salli's keynote yesterday as it inspired me so much. So to give you a bit of background about myself, about my research, I look into digital neocolonialism, MOOCs, and how they can support the most marginalized. Now Mamouda Salli, David Wiley and Lona Campbell strongly shaped this conference, at least to me, to be about including the marginalized voices and sort of adding onto that theme or feeding into the open to all. And I wanted to add a bit more to that theme, particularly on the topics of values and morals and particularly in line with this code for Marshall McLuhan, the medium is the message. Now as we have mentioned many times already in this conference, education is a socially, politically and culturally mediated project. And thus, so is online education. Now this idea of the medium is the message. It's about technological determinism and that is that technology actually shapes and modes society and its values rather than the other way around. Now this coupled with globalization and neoliberalism creates quite a strong powerful force. As OERs from the global north penetrate through communities globally, so do western value sets to the extent that they become the value set. Where local, cultural and religious values are often given second place, if they fit in at all. Now this is very similar to Onguki Watyonga's notion of colonization of the mind that Dr. Saleh spoke about yesterday. And an example of this value differences would be that for example in western societies there's a very strong focus on human rights and the rights of the individual. Whereas in other philosophies such as Islamic philosophy and many other traditions, it's more about human duties and what is your duty to others. And so it's just these small little twists that really change perspectives on things. Now I wanted to give one example from this book I'm reading called Foundations of African Thought. And it actually resonates a lot with Nick Baker's presentation today about the aboriginals and the first nation communities. Now in this book it talks about how in ancient African societies there was ten years to prove that they were ethically and morally capable of receiving specialized knowledge. Now this is so much different from today where morality holds no place in receiving knowledge but rather it's one socio-economic status that determines the quality of knowledge that one will receive. Another quick example, sorry this is turning into a show and tell session but another quick example I wanted to show you is this game called African Legends. I met the founder of it at a conference recently and basically he creates African heroes from African mythology as well as real-life African heroes and if you think about it this type of game embraces the African value system so rather than having a game that's top-down from MIT labs let's look at the local cultural values that we can include when we designing technologies. So I don't want to take too much of your time but I want to leave you with one take-home message and that is in the age of global communities and global citizenship we must be wary of who decides the universal values morals and social norms embedded into our open content we must be wary of who these values privilege and who they oppress. Thank you. I'm not really sure how to follow that that was incredible thank you so much Taskin amazing reflection teasing out a lot of the themes of the three keynotes that we've seen and other presentations at the conference highlighting it is essential that we listen and we respect all of the voices all of the cultural content both that are already in this room already in this community of practice and those outside of which that we would love to reach out to to become involved and to become a more inclusive and a better community so that's hugely powerful stuff thank you very very much for that thank you again next up is Javieria Hi everyone, thank you for letting me speak for a little bit what I want to do today is to extend your invitation I know that if I ask how many of you do ed tech loads of hands will be raised in here so how many of you do ed tech how many of you do civic tech hey okay so what I want to do today is to invite you to get out of the classroom work together as a community and become civil society go and argue to your government to get open education into governmental strategies be part of your national commitments be part of your national election plans open education matters matters to everyone and it should be part of the open government partnership national action plans how can you do that look at the co-creation standards join the civil society or start the discussion again amongst the civil society start an open education forum within the national open government partnership agenda in your own country design an action plan draft your commitments think about what you want to do design an action plan a policy strategy join the policy forum think about taking the value of your community of the group of people that you work with into a more strategic political action Slovakia is already getting a commitment in the open government partnership with Romania, Chile if you want advice and if you want to think about how you can embed your national strategies or even your political strategies as part of the national agendas please talk to the great Nicole Allen she's been doing great job with open government partnership with Vatna Vestamam from Chile they managed to get a commitment on civic education through open educational resources for the Chilean action plan Jan Gondel from Slovakia I'm happy to help too so if any of you want to think about how to take openness I mean open data open science, open access and open educational resources and open educational practices outside of the lecture theater outside of your own institution and you want to make openness a civic duty and you want to foster participation think about joining the civil society hope to see you in Georgia and the GDP summit this July if you are around the South American region international open data conference will be held in Buenos Aires so you're all welcome and actually there is also Abre la Tam so hope to see you around join all the conference join the other sectors join the other open movements and we hope that in a couple of years we'll see more national commitments like Romania, Greece or Chile that's a real call to action for all of us, I think what connected a lot of the speakers that I got a lot from and our three keynotes is that this is people that have done stuff this is people that have actually gone out there beyond the confines of academia and have made an active practical difference in the world and from Javira someone I've known for a long time in her writing and from Javira we have an invitation and a challenge to all of you to step up there and to do some stuff quite frankly so thank you again Javira so last up because we'd like to be diverse in this conference we thought we'd like to get a white middle-aged guy from North America so he's somebody I didn't say old you said old so this is somebody who's been around this community and shaping the community for such a long time has done a lot of the background work the underpinnings, the plumbing has probably taught at least half of this room how to use WordPress and have probably fixed at least 90% of those people's installs of WordPress when they have gone horribly wrong and set the settings in some stupid way that we weren't meant to do so so somebody who already gives a lot to the community I'd like to welcome Alan Cogdog-Lovine thank you okay do you have my PowerPoint? it's only 25 slides I'm really excited to be here especially to follow up Preeti and Teskeen and Javira three people I've never met before first of all we started this conference with a VHS tape and we're ending with these talks that no one has planned so I think we're working good on the edges of the conference I like that because I get kind of bored at conferences okay I'll get to that in a second the middle was great but I went to OER 14 and I really liked the vibe and the people I got to go there I came away feeling that it was a really human run conference and it was even more this year where's Marin? anytime you write to a conference you feel like you're writing to some monolith machine like edu-calls or something like that and you get a response from a person but it often doesn't feel very human and I really want to thank Marin and Martin and everybody for running this as a really human conference and so I got a couple like what I thought were weird requests and they were all yes responses and that's so refreshing in some of these times I also was thinking I thought I'd talk a little bit about splots because there was a joke there but the other part is the thing I liked about OER 14 really were the people that I knew and some met for the first time and when this conference came around first of all some of my best friends in the world were running it so it's just like yeah I'm going to go and I'm just going to pay my way there and so I don't work for anybody but it's worth it to make a trip to this kind of conference for the people and a lot of people I've known for short long periods of time but then as I'm like looking at the audience now it's like I still don't know a lot of people here but it's still a very human scale conference and that's what I want to go to and I my favorite session was the one that was this morning with Laura Richie and her students with the ukuleles and so you guys missed out on a really wonderful there were no slides but we made music and we talked about learning and I've really been aching for a kind of conference experience where that was like not one session out of the norm but all of them and sometimes I just wonder if we can get out of this presentation mode as I'm presenting or whatever I'm doing here and if anybody can do it it's probably this group and then it all gets me thinking about some of the conversations that we had at Coventry with Daniel and his group and some of these things I'm not mentioning OERs themselves I'm not talking about textbooks I'm not talking about licenses I'm not mentioning those right now I just said them but those things like like the stuff we do like at the personal and human level connections and getting to meet people and having the conversations out here on the tables and at lunch and standing in line waiting for our sandwiches I mean those are really valuable and I always think like we work really well at the human level and then when things go to the organizational institution level it gets really bogged down for some reason and so like I wonder about that kind of dilemma but then at the same time every time I learn about something from the University of Edinburgh I'm like that place is amazing still again at the bottom they say our default is open and that's like radical and that's the way things should be so follow those guys if anything that we do and girls I'm sorry I was just seeing if I get a response out of the girls you have much better shoes than me by the way but just in general like this stuff should be human and as reclaimed shows it should be fun like why aren't we having as much fun as possible and have excitement about this work we do and like you know after a moment I'm like I'm thinking about drying fruit on my patio and like how we can do things low tech for good purpose and you know I'm sure I mean this is the group that's going to do it I guess the challenge is like everybody who's outside this room and so you know we hope to see 19 in some place are we going to find that out so thank you very much Alan from that low tech stuff that works sounds a bit like fast cheap and out of control as somebody once said I can't remember who that all was it was probably David Wiley so I mean again the strengths of the community the connections that have been made here I look out here we look out here as conference coaches a lot of people we didn't know before the start of this conference a lot of people were glad and pleased to have met and just shared a part of our world and this amazing venue and this amazing space so thank you very much for those reflections and long may this conference continue thank you and it just remains to say from us thank you so much I must say thanks to the committee who are almost as extensive in number as the audience these days so many people want to get involved with helping shape this event thank you to all of you and you really really did help impact and shape what we thought this conference should be of course I could stand if the next hour just thanking the Association of Learning Technology what an astonishing group of people to work with I mean that from my heart and Marron you've kept me on an even keel yeah life was kind of going a bit crazy and thank you so much to everyone I'll say no more because I'll start crying but the last thing to say is we can all leave some pledges on the social network there using this hashtag what might we do different what are we going to contribute so please feel free to use the hashtag as you go home and I think is that all we need to say now wait a moment most important people we have not thanked yet so please put your hands together for our co-chairs there is a little extra thing when she says the most important people we she was lying basically it was fake news so could we have as many of the old team can be spared up here please that as unfortunately just me right now it's just you right now well in that case I'm going to give you five bags of stuff for everybody right this person we will definitely distribute presents we will pass these on there are presents for the team at all but I mean once again a big thank you to the team at all and to the venue team thank you to both so we leave you this challenge inspired by Vivian and David's OER18 it's a very enlightening idea and we hope that you will start tweeting now what's electrified your world this year with us at OER18 I'm not going to repeat anything because each of you has made a difference and those of us who have sponsored contributed in other ways have as well I hope we've met our motto open to all and this is the time when we look at not just making commitment for this conference but for the next year to come and see what we have to look forward to so I'd now like to invite onto the stage a very special preview of OER19 coming up next year so please put your hands together for Catherine Cronin Laura Charnovic oh this is such a joyful moment thank you very much it was also a really difficult secret to keep on behalf of Laura but I just want to say thank you to Alt and the Alt team for working with us inviting us first of all and working with us to talk about what OER19 could be and I just have a few things that I want to say about the theme that we've been working on putting together I really view this conference very much obviously it's a community but it also seems like this ongoing conversation and Lorna you did such a fantastic job of talking about the whole history of the conference but even I've been coming since OER15 and even from those years there was a strong critical strand of work at OER16 for example that was carried forward into OER17 which was the politics of open and then those conversations last year about inclusivity and diversity and voices that are being left out and included and not included came forward this year into open for all and so what we hope to do next year is create a space where those conversations can continue in April next year as they will obviously all year but I think in thinking about a theme for the conference we have all practiced openness and we've all learned a lot from our mistakes and from what we've done and what we've seen others do and it feels like we're very much at a time of moving moving beyond and kind of moving beyond limited perspectives perhaps moving beyond hero narratives moving beyond narratives that don't serve don't serve us adequately and by us I mean humanity not just the people in this room so our our do the next slide yes that's our theme our theme is re-centering open critical and global perspectives which amazingly it just seems to fall very naturally from everything that has happened here over the last couple of days so you know that's why that should be a surprise I don't know it's wonderful I think and we there's a bit of ambiguity in this title which we think is a good thing but we are thinking ourselves about re-centering our conversations and our practices and perhaps our definitions on the actual experiences of people in different contexts particularly people who have been left out of the narrative for a long time and particularly left out of the dominant narratives of open and perhaps even been marginalized by the dominant narratives so we are really excited about working with Marin and Martin all of all this community and these are very much just gestures towards questions that we hope will be addressed at the conference this is just a start of a conversation if you like so these are some of the things that motivated us to kind of come up with that theme and work with you know very many of you over the next while to kind of identify particular specific themes of the conference and as I said just continue that conversation and just as I said we're not doing anything but creating space hopefully we don't know where the conference will be we are making a bid from Galway so that could happen and but we don't know yet so but anyway on behalf of Laura and myself we're so delighted and honored so thank you that was the end but as you're all sitting here I feel we should say goodbye formally I hope this has inspired you clearly OER 18 has been so wonderful that no one wants to leave but on behalf of everyone involved and particularly David and Vivian and all the organizing committee I wish you very safe travels and that your journeys may converge again maybe in Galway but definitely at OER 19 thank you very much


Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. I welcome you on Sanjay Gupta Tech School. In this video, I'm going to explain how you can count number of digits that are available in an input number. Right. So before starting, I just want to share information. So if you go into the detail or description of this video, you will find links of various playlists so you can learn various programs related to those. So do watch them. Now coming onto the topic. So first, let me take some examples so that you can understand what we are going to do. So let's say a number is 1234. So it is a one number. So it is 1234. Now we need to count how many digits are available in the number. So output will be 4. Let's say user has entered 2468. So again, output will be 4. If number is 204, then output will be 3. If number is 12, then output will be 2. If number is 1, then output should be 1. So as per the input, we need to count how many digits are available in a particular number. Now after explaining this requirement, now I'm going to implement its solution in C programming. So first time a defining main function, inside main function, I am declaring a variable C whose initial value will be 0. Then one variable N that will read the number from user. Now through printf, I can print a message, enter a number. So user will input a number. So that will be received into N variable. So using this printf scanner, I am able to read a number from user. Now I am applying my loop. Here I am implementing if condition is like N is greater than 0, then only this loop will repeat, otherwise it will be terminated. Inside this loop, I am going to increase value of C. So here you can see initial value of C is 0. So here it will be incremented by 1 every time whenever this loop will repeat. And then I am applying N equals to N by 10. Right? So now I am taking an example. Let's say input number is 2468. So value of N will be this. And initially C is 0. Now I am going to rotate this loop so that we will identify after termination of this loop what will be the value of C. So that is the count which will show how many digits are available in the number. So N is this. And if we see this condition, so it is N greater than 0. So right now N is greater than 0. So it is true. Then we will go inside the Y loop. So C plus plus. So here C will become 1. Then N is divided by N and the result will be stored inside N again. So output of this expression will be 246. So whenever you divide a number by 10, so the last digit of the number will be removed and remaining number will be stored in this N variable. Now again we will move to this condition. So N is again greater than 0. It is 246. So it is true. Again C will be incremented by 1. So right now value of C is 2. Then again divide N by 10. So it will become 24. Again check this condition. So it is true. Increase value of C by 1. So it will be 3. Again divide N by 10. So it will be 2. Check this condition. It is again true. Then C will be incremented by 1. So it is now 4. Again divide the number by 10. So if we divide 2 by 10, so now it will become 0. Now this time if you check the condition, so it is false. And if you see the value of C, it is 4. So we took 4 digit number for example. So output you can see it is showing 4 here. So after completion of this loop, you can easily print count equals to person D and you can print value of C as output. So after termination of this loop, this printer will be displaying the value of C. So it is having the number of digits those are available in the number. So this way I explain to you how we can count number of digits those are available in input number. So I hope you understood. So if you want to watch more programming related videos, so you can open my channel and go to playlist so there are various programming related videos are available. I have uploaded more than 1000 videos related to various programming. So do watch them and I hope you understood whatever I explained in this video. Thank you for watching this video.


Simple stuff okay so Avery is the working player right now, Kaley is the working player right now, you guys are a triangle, us three here, we are a triangle yeah okay so Kaley you're gonna be checking to me on this one we're going to be playing the foot that is on the inside okay so you play Kaley when you're checking to me on your left profile boom then you go around check to summer playing your right profile to summer there so here go boom bounce check over there call for the ball good boom check over here boom all right 30 seconds on the clock ready and play good good yeah left foot good there we go yep left again good class good good good good keep punching the ball leaves pass it hard hard punch it good good go a little harder Kaley on this one yeah good challenge me challenge me good challenge good okay there you go hard lovely thank you and again yep good yep and switch yep good play hard play hard play hard good don't be shy hard good holy cow and again and again good play good yep yep good play good check with intensity summer intensity too slow too slow too slow good more steps good play good there we go well done lovely ah ping it ping it ping it ping it punch it punch it punch it good again yep good good hard hard hard hard hard good alright so on this one I check a little bit and then I check away ball comes in receive back foot punch it right foot check a little bit check away one two check a little bit check away yes ball check your shoulders right boom check boom shoulders yeah ball comes in one two boom yeah well again good check your shoulders boom here I go boom shoulders yeah both good we have it so even if you need to play first time just to speed it up go for it the pass that would you deliver over there has to be a hard pass force us the setters to take a touch okay so check away check your shoulder go fable good I click holy I love it play boom part yes good go on then good one you know about to there you go and check away go for it yeah good good one love that good there we go lovely good good good there you go yep good lovely nice and play good summer good good good there we go check away quick intensity intensity keep it up good and again yep good sharp and sharp movements sharp little slow little slow summer little slow good I saw this one guys so we're gonna do all we're gonna do on this one I'm gonna be checking to the ball as I'm going to the ball I ping it around the corner right away yes ball boom we tried to keep this one everything first time yes ball comes in so if the ball gets played I can't break it hard right so play towards the cone boom towards the cone good towards the cone good either we have it yep all right easy money I ready and play good make sure we keep calling for yeah send it across send it across good don't hit the cones don't hit the cones don't on this side come on good this side good that's the one good lovely good check your shoulder before you pass if you can each good yep check your shoulders good please good good there we go lovely that's okay good and freeze alright guys so listen if you want to give yourselves a better angle what do you need to do get further within the cone right so if I'm right next to the cone right here I'm here and I'm trying to pick the ball that way the angle is very tough for me to go to summer but if I check a bit more this way right much easier some across so over check a little bit right so you're able to play the ball first time we have that same group 10 seconds let's see we make an improvement ready please good thank you being harder to me good slapping play play play play come on good yes good good good summer good touch that's all right well done play good and swim and play good yep good good take your shoulder before you pass it if you can right no what's behind you know where you're gonna play it be away I think it pink it summer don't just guide it pink it good there you go send it send it hey come on come on good good I'm gonna pass a little harder to you now so be ready good hey keep it on the ground keep it on the ground come on good good check check check good there we go a little harder on that left foot good I too hard on that Kaley up try to right yeah play good there you go good lovely well done summer and I'm alright guys good stuff very good now we're gonna do the same thing now same thing or pretty much almost same thing ball over there somewhere if you can so I'm gonna check it out to Kaylee okay she's gonna try to play my inside foot yeah go on and I'm gonna send it with the outside of my foot yeah but comes in a little harder boom outside of the foot boom outside of the foot boom so for this one okay the people on the cone on the cones you're gonna be just a little closer okay we have it so we just ping with the outside of our foot if we can we keep on checking shoulders be aware just know what's around you before you play that pass ready play remember play the foot on the inside if you're a setter and freeze alright guys so let's fix that a little bit happening with the two of you so watch when I'm playing a ball with the outside okay right now you're treating it a little bit like a scoop okay so both coming and you're trying to do that it's not bad but we were able to travel a little bit more so all we need to do on this one right don't play yet I just foot comes side and I slap with the outside I don't scoop but I slap so both comes in and I go it's there so the most traveling with pace boom there pace okay even if I can want to be a show off both comes in boom I just give one of them so it's a slap with the outside of your foot for it to actually travel a bit harder okay not a scoop it's a slap okay ready play thank you eat slap it slap it slap it good slap it good better lovely good very good shoulders now shoulders now good shoulders good lovely no way we're out no way we're out good well done slap a little harder a little harder good hard hard hard hard hard good and again good yes good yep good there you go and switch well done guys well done good stuff it's good stuff ready play good slap slap slap don't scoop it hit it play boom yes yes good lovely good very good go around the cone go around the cone good round the cone round the cone summer come on don't cheat good ish come on a bit more composed on that left foot no bad on the right good compose compose good yes good very good play play play yep come on summer come good well done summer and that's my bat play play play good ends good ends hit it hit it hit it good and I'm all right guys good stuff good stuff all right no bad no bad that's decent okay that's decent okay next one simple stuff simple stuff I'm gonna check for a bounce yes both comes in boom check away both comes in one two check in for a bounce boom boom check away yeah both comes in one two so bounce one two bounce one two we have it now listen guys the most important part here is okay I'm doing the demo a little bit in slow motion okay it's for you guys to not go slow okay she'll be only 20 seconds so that one is pretty much four to five reps all you got okay all you got ready and play good one two good make sure as a setter you're punching it good one two good bounce good check away go for it good one two very good good bounce good all right yes good good good boom there we go lovely good yeah take away shoulders good one two good well done Kelly good fix very good one two well done good good take away lovely good one tea there you go good good one two and switch well done guys that's fantastic great stuff ready and play yep good there you go good go on go on good check good intensity good on the shoulder check summer a little quicker okay you don't have to twist your whole head back good well done Kelly why touch good on the back pedal you're doing this we need to do this yeah active okay ready play good bounce good quick there you go good good there you go good good well done and touch one two good well done summer good good pinky coach pinky coach hard hard challenger good challenger Aves challenger on the ground hard good good there you go good Aves and time guys well done good stuff very good very good a bit of water get back in go on and freeze all right guys not bad now this next one okay this next one we're gonna try to do uh summer go on that side we're gonna try to use our laces okay on this one we're gonna try to give the ball no spin okay no spin so when you're juggling like that the ball's just spinning back let me use that one and just for the demo okay so the ball's just spinning back when we're doing that what we want to try and do is get rid of the spin okay so the look the less it spins the better okay so we try to maintain the day we can get that left foot in both two that's fine i just but we want no spin on the ball okay do we have it my balance that was meant to be for you all right go ahead give it a try you don't have to hit it so high if you don't have to okay whatever you want to do okay keep it nice and low good no spin no spin hit it with the laces good no spin and freeze all right guys so listen the most important thing here all right to get that dry contact with your laces okay you gotta make sure that the legs not too low okay gotta be a little higher and pointing entirely forward okay not coming back to our foot because that's what gives the spin it's a motion pretty much going forward okay i'm gonna try so yeah lift it up however you need to okay there you go one two three four five six seven eight nine see how with my left foot i'm messing it up a little bit right so try to okay if you need to master your strong foot first go for it try to use both but if you need to stay on your strong foot for a little bit that's fine okay go ahead good next one if we can if we can we're going to try to go with the outside of our foot okay outside of our foot so we're here we go outside outside outside outside outside outside outside oh come on coach outside outside outside outside outside outside okay so on that one we're gonna try to get our leg to go almost parallel okay and our foot is what's always parallel okay so if your foot's a little bit angled that way it's gonna bounce up so your leg almost parallel you're not going to be doing that almost impossible right for your leg right angles a little bit up so this part is facing the sky took took that ball shouldn't spin at all okay give it a try


Let's go to the big move of the reshuffle, which was Rachel Reeves replacing Annalise Dodds as Shadow Chancellor. Now, Rachel Reeves is the object of suspicion would be the kindest way to put it by many on the left, because of an interview she gave to the Guardian in 2013, when she had just been promoted to Shadow Secretary of State for Work and Pensions under the leadership of Ed Miliband. Now, if you've been on Twitter in the last 24 hours, you've probably seen this screenshot shared. This was the headline that accompanied that interview. Said, Labour will be tougher than Tories on Benefits promises new welfare chief. Now, that's obviously the headline. Let's go to what she actually said. So in that interview, it's just as harsh, I have to say. Nobody should be under any illusions that they are going to be able to live a life on benefits under a Labour government. If you can work, you should be working and under our compulsory job guarantee. If you refuse that job, you forgo your benefits, and that is really important. It is not an either or question. We would be tougher than the Conservatives. If they don't take it, the offer of a job, they will forfeit their benefit, but there will also be the opportunities there under a Labour government. We have got some really great policies, particularly around the jobs guarantee in cancelling the bedroom tax that show that we are tough and will not allow people to linger on benefits, but also that we are fair where there are pernicious policies like the bedroom tax, we will repeal them. I mean, obviously, this was said in 2013, but this is the kind of rhetoric, the kind of politics I think that many of us hoped were sealed in a tomb within the Labour Party, right? This idea that you complain about people lingering on benefits. And now the person who is most associated with some of those policies is now in the top economic job. Does that worry you? Yeah. I mean, I've obviously heard, as others have, that Rachel Rees has been on a journey. Lots of people in politics have been on journeys. That's fine. You know, we're all human, we all grow, we all change, hopefully, for the better. But ultimately, you know, what I see when I see too many members of my own party in politics talk about the need to occupy the centre ground of British politics, that was then considered, you know, austerity, benefit cheats coming down hard on benefit cheats and benefits. This was considered where the middle ground of British politics was, which is, you know, I think we can frankly say bollocks no longer there now. And this is the issue about the middle ground of British politics. It doesn't exist. It's a mythical place. Boris Johnson and the Tories are now handing us our back sides, showing us that the middle ground isn't a mythical place fixed in aspic in politics. It shifts, it changes. It's wherever you want it to be and wherever you make the argument for it to be. And Boris Johnson, in power, has made the argument that creating money, creating money from the Bank of England and spending it, which was considered socialist heresy before, is now the thing that you can do to invest in green infrastructure jobs and everything else that they're doing. And ultimately, I think that what the mistake too many people are party and Rachel Ruse is one of them, which you would call the kind of Blairite centric tradition is that they have this belief that there is a centre ground. But what it actually is, it's wherever the ruling, dominant, conservative party are, it's calibrating where they are and where the mainstream media, which are often supportive of them are, and then calibrating yourself accordingly. That's not good enough. Not if you're a party of principle, not if you have values and you actually believe in something, actually believe in changing the world and making it better, unless you think that where they are is somewhere to aspire to, because otherwise you're moving halfway towards them at the very least or further. So ultimately, you know, this is the whole motion of centrism. And I and for me, it's a busted flush. So if Rachel Ruse is no longer a centrist, maybe there's hope. If she is a centrist, then her and the rest of the party who consider themselves centrist are going to be basically coordinating themselves. They're going to be basically what's the word I'm looking for orientating themselves off the Tories and wherever that is. And that means on their English nationalism, their growing authoritarianism, their anti-democracy credentials, all of that. And I just don't think that's something that's going to work. We're going to see ourselves nibble to death by Greens and Liberal Democrats and new political parties that are now setting up. So ultimately, Rachel Ruse is I think is is representative of a strand in our party, which has given up the ghost of socialism. Never has been socialist. We saw that under new labor and it's basically red team, blue team. Well, it's our turn to be in charge now. And we won't make the argument for anything that's fundamentally different. We'll simply calibrate ourselves from where you are. And once you implode, once you go tide of being in power, once the mainstream media and civil society have grown tide of you, it'll be our turn. But we won't be anything transformative about what we're doing. There won't be anything that changes the world in a fundamental way. And that's the problem with centrism. And that's why if it is dominant and back in the driving seat in our party again, we are not going to be heading towards electoral success, which I think we can see already because I'll tell you what centrism looks like with this government is standing in front of a flag with a pine. And frankly, I think we saw the result of that in Hartlepool. I want to take seriously the idea that she has been on a journey. And there are some people who've said it, who I don't, you know, dismiss out of hand at all. And first of all, when it comes to this journey, I want to go to an interview Reeves did with the new statesman earlier this year. She was asked specifically, I'm about that interview with the Guardian. And she told the new statesman, I was trying to make the point, however badly, that spending more on benefits wasn't always a sign of success. And actually, the benefits bill goes up when society fails. Maybe I didn't always say it right, but that was the point I was trying to make. She goes on, look, perhaps it wasn't the right job for me at the right time. I definitely feel like a better politician and maybe more careful about what I say now than I was then. But I was trying to get a Labour government. I was trying to address some of our weaknesses. Now, to be honest, I don't think those last two sentences will be particularly reassuring to anyone. I was trying to get a Labour government. I'll say anything to get one. But let's put that to one side for a moment. The people who have come out and said maybe we should have an open mind are a former Corbyn and McDonald's adviser and a former Corbyn adviser. Both we've had on the show. So James Mills did work for John McDonald and then Corbyn. He says controversial take for some. But on the Rachel Reeves appointment, I think it's worth keeping an open mind, given her main recent interventions have been advocating in sourcing. I think Blair Wright labels are not very accurate. It feels a more post 2011 Ed Miliband appointment, to be honest. And Andrew Fisher, who was obviously head of policy under Jeremy Corbyn, you know, he got the credit for the 2017 manifesto. He tweets, I think James Mills is right. Keep an open mind. People's views can change. Look at how Ed Miliband has gone from austerity, light controls on immigration merchant to being invited to Navarra and these ups at conference policies, not personalities. Let's see some of the former. For me, what's most interesting is the Ed Miliband comparison, because ultimately, if you are the shadow work and pension secretary, what you're saying is essentially the lines and the direction that was set by the leader. Ed Miliband was the leader.  Right. And I do actually think that Ed Miliband has changed. I do think that he does seem to be one of the proponents of a more transformative radical policy within the shadow cabinet. Should we give Rachel Reeves the same benefit of the doubt, therefore? I mean, I think the last thing that we need is another flip flopping politician, someone who seems to go wherever the wind or their career takes them. So even if we were to give the benefit of the doubt, which I don't, that isn't exactly something to be excited about. And I also think the Ed Miliband question is so prescient here, actually, because the issue for Ed Miliband, because I actually don't know if Ed Miliband did go on a journey. I think he actually always kind of had that politics. Many have said that that, you know, the 2017 manifesto was actually much more representative of his own politics than the 2015 manifesto was. And even it was more representative of Ed Miliband's personal politics than it was of Jeremy Corbyn's personal politics. But he didn't have the metal. He didn't have the conviviction. He didn't have the creativity to figure out how to make that politics a reality. So that's why he could be pushed around so easily by interest groups in the party or, you know, particularly the right of the party. It's why he always seemed so insecure around the right wing media because that's where he was trying to get his validation because he didn't have another idea of how to another pathway to power, another route to power, another model of building power. So if that is the truth that, you know, Rachel Reeves is sort of another is an Ed Miliband type, it doesn't bode well because it suggests the same problem, which is OK, your personal politics might be OK, but you don't have any vision or creativity or astute analysis of how we're going to make that politics into a reality. So you just rely on triangulation. But I also think that, you know, I also don't think it's the case because if you look at the spirit of the reshuffle, it's being done in a way that doesn't allow any breathing space for any remotely, you know, labor movement or, you know, progressive part of the party. You know, that's what you do. That's what you're doing when you're trying to purge the party of anyone with any connection to the labor movement. That's what you're doing when you're sacking Angela Rainer. You know, the part, as I said before, this is part of the party being handed over to a tiny minority of the PLP who, you know, haven't actually won much on their own merits in a very long time. And so when you look at that broader context of the reshuffle and the broader spirit, the broader purpose of it, that doesn't really contribute to this idea that Rachel Reeves is like a secret lefty or has come on some kind of journey. And, you know, I think that this idea of, oh, I didn't express myself well enough. You express yourself in pretty clear terms. Like it looks like when you look at that interview, it's not. Oh, I was caught off guard and I sort of didn't know what to say. It's I went into this into this interview with the with the clear intention that the Labour Party is to the right of the Conservative Party on the economy, that the Labour Party is not the party of those who have been left behind or left out of the economy. So I don't think that that that doesn't really really wash with me. I think even if I were to give her the benefit of the doubt, it shows a repeating of the mistakes that we saw under Ed Miliband and under Gordon Brown, which didn't lead to a victory. But if it isn't the case that she is, you know, secretly very different now, then it matches everything else that we think this reshuffle represents.


Hey folks, Adam DuPay here, and today we're going to be looking at the ponables.kr challenge cmd command 1. And this is going to be a live walkthrough. I haven't seen this code before or otherwise solved this in any way. So let's dig right in. So command 1, one point, mommy, what is path environment in Linux? So this should be a very interesting and hopefully pretty straightforward level given the fact that it's one points. So we SSH to this machine. We find ourselves here. We have a command 1, group set UID on the command 1, PON. We have C code and we have a flag. So we know what we got to do. So let's go to the code. So the code, very simple program. We have an int main argc argv environment pointer put in the environment path. Something that's not very nice.  And yes, the hacker aesthetic and the hacker mindset is very kind of libertarian and screw the man and all this kind of stuff. But still this is, you know, it's not cool, like security should be inclusive for everyone. And this kind of stuff just serves to drive people away rather than actually do anything cool. But regardless, it's here. So we're going to deal with it. Okay. So it puts in the environment a path variable. It then filters out argv one. So the filter takes in a command checks call string string on the command looks for flag SH and temp. And if it returns any of these things that will return R, so if R returns anything, it will return zero, otherwise call system directly on our argument. So important things in here. So this actually should be fairly straightforward, man. So system, if you've never seen system before, so system is going to literally it does. So it's a libc function and it does exactly what it says it's going to do. It's going to call exec cl slash bin SH SH dash C and the command that we pass in. So it's going to pass it in as a new shell, whatever we type in. So and so one thing we could think about doing is do cmd one. And we know whatever we type in here, like if we do, let's say ID. So it's going to say ID not found. So if we do, let's say echo hello. So it's going to say hello. And so this is executing inside. Now why didn't it find ID? And that is because bash or your shell by default will use this path environment variable to look for the command you want to execute. So when you type LS, it actually knows which LS you want to execute in slash bin SH by actually looking, it splits this string based on semicolons and it looks, is there an LS and user local S bin? If not looking user local bin, if not looking user S bin and so on until it finds it in slash bin. So what they're doing by setting this path variable here, it's basically saying we can't just say LS, but what we can do is we can say, let's see, we can do which ID to figure out where that is exactly. And we can do cmd one user bin ID. And that's going to tell us that it's we are executing a user ID cmd one group ID cmd one, but effective group ID of cmd one PWM. So what we can do here, we can pretty much do anything. Let's just do bin bash to drop us into a shell. And that did not work. Why did that not work? Oh, the filter looks for SH. I see. So it looks for flag SH or temp. So what do we want it to do? Oh, this is pretty easy then. Let's do this. Let's do. So we've already basically used this trick before. So we'll make a temp directory. Yeah, we can't reference temp by name, but we can make directory temp atom D cmd one, temp atom D cmd one. And then from here, we can make a symbolic link to members like a so ln dash s, it's like a copy. So where you want to copy from and then to so we want to copy, we don't think it's symbolic link to home cmd one flag, we're going to call it boo. And what we're going to do is call home cmd one cmd one. And the command we want to pass in is bin cat boo. And what this is going to do is it's going to follow this symbolic link. And this symbolic link points to the flag. So we got past the filter, which is looking for flag SH or temp. And so then we get the flag here. It says, mommy, now I get what path environment is for. That is true. That's how we can execute any command we want. So at this point, we basically really own this program. We could do all types of things. We could create an SH script here to execute it. We can create a C code in here. We do all kinds of fun stuff here. So this is, I like these challenges because they really get you to think about how to solve these things. So I just wish there was less, maybe old fashioned to me, but less cursing in our CTF challenges. So anyways, that's it. And thanks for watching this walkthrough and I'll see you folks later.
