We praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and we send peace and blessings upon his last and final and most noble and most beloved Messenger Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam And I encourage you and I encourage myself. I enjoin you and I enjoin myself I give you nasiha. I give myself nasiha to have taqwa of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala To observe the limits the hudud of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Outwardly and inwardly Publicly and privately and with that we achieve taqwa and may Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make us from the people of taqwa and Allah has given us this month of Ramadhan as a blessing and as a means to achieve taqwa This is a month that well Alhamdulillah that we have reached that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam used to wait for anxiously throughout the year At the sighting of each moon. He would say Alhamdulillah al-Ladhi adhab abishahri katha Praise be to Allah who has taken away such and such month and then he would name that month Wa ja abishahri katha and brought and then mentioned the month. Allahumma bellighna Ramadhan Oh, Allah allow us to reach Ramadhan This is something our noble Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam would do every single month and maybe we're not doing it Maybe at the beginning and the the the ends and the beginnings of the months We're not thinking about Ramadhan. Maybe we're not conscious about it. He was conscious about it and he is our model and When we look at the things that he looked forward to now we know the status the Qima the value of that thing And Alhamdulillah now we're in that month that he used to wait for Patiently and anxiously every single month When we look at the Quran and we're listening to the Quran and we're reading the Quran at the very beginning of the Quran is a description of the believers of Who we are of who a believer is what does it mean to be a Mu'min What does it mean to be a believer in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and then to contrast that there's a description of the kufar of the non-believers and Then also of the hypocrites of the Munafiqeen and we're listening to these We're listening to the Imams recite this during Taraweeh. We're reading this at home. We're listening to recordings of this We're reflecting on that and then also in the first parts of Surah Al-Baqarah or towards the middle The description of the believers and how they should be fasting during this month During Ramadan, so I want to take a few moments moments to reflect on some of the The wisdoms that we can search for in the way that Allah is telling us about this month It's important to look at the ayahs the verses of the Quran Individually and also how they're connected to each other and what are the lessons that Allah is telling us through that We see at the very beginning when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says yā ayyuhalladīna āmanu and he's speaking to us He's speaking not only to the believers at the time of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. He's speaking to us as well As soon as you hold on to the belief of la ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasulullah, you are a believer and now every single khitab every single addressing in the Quran to the believers That's to you This is a message not just to people 1444 years ago This is a message to each and every single one of us. So when Allah says yā ayyuhalladīna āmanu He's speaking to you. He's speaking to me. He's honoring us by referring to us by that title khutiba alaykum al-sriyām this month this fasting of Ramadan has been obliged upon you Like it was obliged made far upon the people before you la ilakum taktaqūn So that you can find taqwa in this month So that you can find taqwa not that so we can become thirsty and hungry and tired as In the hadith of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam where he tells us that if a person does not leave foul things if we do not purify our tongues and purify our eyes and purify our Ears and purify our hearts. Allah doesn't need our hunger and our thirst That's not the point of the fast the point of the fast is so that we can use it as a platform as a Method to work towards taqwa. We already have taqwa. Alhamdulillah. If you are a believer in your fasting, you have taqwa We need to now work on increasing that taqwa So this is a month of fasting in preparation for this month sometimes you will see that Sometimes people are looking at the ahkam of the fasting. They're reviewing. Okay, what breaks the fast? What doesn't break the fast especially if they have a very unique situation? Maybe medically Physically, whatever it might be and that is important. It's important to understand the rulings And when we read those ayahs that Allah is telling us about the fasting you'll see various rulings various ahkam You have to do it. This is when you start. This is when you break the fast This is allowed for you at night and you can see the Quran is full of ahkam of fiqh of laws That's part of our deen. So we have to know that as a base. What makes our fast sound? What breaks our fast? When do we owe a kafara? When do we owe an explanation? When do we have to make it up alone? When do we owe have to make it up and do qadha all of those rules are very important But it's not the end of the fast. That's not the end purpose of the fast. What is the fast? Preparing us for in the next ayah Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala or two ayahs left after that Shahru Ramadan al-Ladhi unzila fihi al-Quran He's reminding us that this month is the month that the Quran was revealed in This is not only a month of fasting. It's also a month of Quran We have to remind ourselves about that because in the nights when we're not fasting or for those people for whatever reason They're not able to fast for various reasons. It's still the month of the Quran for them a Person doesn't lose access to Ramadan because they're not fasting It's a month of fasting and also a month of the Quran a month of reconnecting us with the Quran We're listening to it in the masjid. We're reading it ourselves. We're listening to recordings of it We're trying to get a better understanding of the Quran Maybe it's through learning the Arabic so we can understand what it's saying or if we have the Arabic then we're looking in the tafsir We're looking in the explanations. We're listening to people explain parts of the Quran We're reading it and reflecting it ourselves to make that connection that personal connection to the Quran That's also a very important thing for us to remember We have to have a personal connection to the Quran read it The way you would read an email directed to you a text message to you You open it up. You see those bold things you get it. We get excited. We want to click on that Who's what are they telling me in that email? What are they telling me in the text message in the same way each one of those eyes? And it's the everlasting miracle that will always be speaking to you many people have had this experience where We're reading the Quran. They're reading the Quran. They're thinking about something They're feeling something and then all of a sudden an Aya is mentioned there there was one story of a person who a Person who was interested in Islam and he was reading about Islam and it became convinced of Islam And his story is available on the you on the internet. You can watch him say this He's convinced of Islam and he wants to take a Shahada But then he puts he's reading the Quran and he puts the Quran down and he says ya Allah just give me a sign Just give me one sign. I'm ready. I just want a sign He puts the Quran down and he's looking around. He's looking for some major sign like a shooting star or something Nothing happens. He looks at it. He reads the Quran again Then closes it and say ya Allah. I'm ready to do this. I just need a sign. Just give me a sign even even if it's a little sign Nothing happens What's going on here? He opens up the Quran the very next Aya that he was reading. Haven't we given you enough signs? Of course at that point he took a Shahada Masha Allah and became Muslim It's a true story of the Quran speaking to a person I know other people that when they're reading the Quran they put it down and they might have stopped in Surat al-Murq on Oh, let me get a little tiny folk of them Do they not look at the birds above them put it down and then all of a sudden a bird is right in front of them We can have that connection to the Quran where the Quran is alive in that way and speaking to us How do we get that? How do we get that that connection to the Quran? This is a month where we can develop more of that more of that connection. It's a month of fasting so we should be making sure that we're doing the fast properly and that we're We're following all of the rules and we know all of the rules and we're connecting to the Quran and We're connecting to the Quran A few ayahs later Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says And if you're and if my servants Ask me about ask you about me. Tell them that I am near This is the ayah telling us and that he responds to the to the dua To the calling upon of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. So now the way I see the some of the wisdoms in the Way the ayahs are there. You're fasting. Here's some of the rules. It's a platform getting you closer to taqwa This is a month of the Quran Do I call upon me? These are the days and these are the nights when we're fasting Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is answering our dua and In the nights.  Allah is telling us about the fast and telling us it's the month of the Quran and Telling us to make dua which is our connection to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala direct our worship Ibadah That's an important connection to make and then he tells us about Transactions business transactions make sure that you do your business transactions properly Make sure that you're not Transacting with each other in falsehood cheating people making false contracts false Oqud facida Invalid contracts taking advantage of people manipulating people This dean is not just about our own Personal connection to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and our Ibadah and our worship and our dua and our recitation of the Quran That one of the first tests. How are you interacting with other people? That's the lesson behind here. So it's not just business interactions It's any type of interaction we have with another human being Muslim or not muamala Do we have hussnul muamala? Do we have good interactions? Do we have the type of interactions that if somebody saw that interaction? They say that's a Muslim That's not only a Muslim. That's a Muslim who fasts and reads Quran They can see from our actions people don't want to hear They don't want a pamphlet shoved in their face about what this dean is. They want to see action They want to see that your belief translates into actions and interactions with them So many people will cheat others take advantage. Oh, I came up Oh, I was able to skirt the system over here. Is that the way a Muslim is? Is that what Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala wants from us just to fast and just to read Quran But then when it comes to interactions, then all of a sudden we're it's the law of the jungle So those are four things that that we take from there and how do we do that? How do we achieve that? One of the best ways is the connection to the Quran And it might be that our connection through the Quran throughout the year Has become weak. Maybe we weren't regular in our connection to the Quran in our reading of the Quran and This month is a recharge for us. We're able to reconnect with the Quran The Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, one time said on the authority of Ibn Umar, radiallahu anhu maa He said Inna hadihil quloob tasda'u kama yasda'u al hadid these hearts Meaning our hearts Will rust Just like iron will rust So the Sahaba they didn't leave it at that. They wanted to know okay if the hearts get rusty if you know anything about tools You know that rust is not a good thing Rust is not a good thing on anything metal in a computer and a car and an airplane nothing the next question If you understand tools in a kitchen in a mechanic shop, whatever it might be we need to remove that rust And the Sahaba could see that there's a Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is giving them an image They're understanding it and now they're interacting with the revelation from the Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala through his Messenger Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, and he said they said yeah, Rasulullah, wama jala'u ha How can you how can you remove it? He said kathratu zikril mot mention or think about remember death a lot What he law at the Quran and the recitation of the Quran? This month is a month that we're cleaning the rusts from our heart This is a month that we're able to through the Qira of the Quran, and it might just be the Recitation even if we don't have understanding the recitation itself will repair the hearts will remove that rust And so as it's removed as we remove the rust from the hearts We'll start seeing actions. We'll start seeing change. We'll start seeing more compassion in our interactions We'll start seeing more sincerity in our Ibadah. We'll start seeing more truthfulness in the way we speak with each other We'll see more Dedication to this Dean will see the effects of the Quran on our lives and only Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Give us that I mean ya Rabbi al-Alamin We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give us a connection to the Quran We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make us from the people who have inherited the Quran. Allahumma. Jalna min al-Ladina Or rough to whom the Quran or Allah make us from amongst the people that you have given as an inheritance the Quran your book your final message to all of the The world I mean ya Rabbi al-Alamin Alhamdulillah was salatu was salamu ala Rasulillah We praise Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and we send peace and blessings on upon his last and most noble and final messenger Muhammad Salallahu alaihi wa salam, and I enjoy you and I enjoy myself To have taqwa of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to observe the limits and the orders of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala outwardly and inwardly Publicly and privately and with that we will achieve taqwa and be from the mutaqeen Oh Allah make us from amongst the mutaqeen when we think about this When this about this month of the Quran and this month of fasting and this month of Clearing the rest from our hearts and this month of being better in our interactions We can make goals for ourselves and Ramadan is a great month to be able to do that and we can each right now Think of one goal one thing that we can change in ourselves and at the end of the day There's nobody who knows you better than yourself from amongst the human nobody knows you better than yourself You are an expert on yourself.  Oh, you know yourself better than others and you know we know I know What I can change about myself one small change that in this month Through the fasting and through the dhikr and through the Quran and through the tarawih and through the the late nights in the early mornings and Sadaqat and all the good that we're doing all of the ibad that what's one thing that I can change so that I can come out of this month Different and so that this Ramadan can be different than last Ramadan that I can be a better person this Ramadan What's one small change that we can make in ourselves in our ibadah in our worship? Then what's one small thing that we can do in the way we interact with another person our? Spouse our children our parents our co-workers our employees our employer our neighbors fellow human beings wherever they may be What's one small thing that I can do that we can each do? Ask ourselves that one small thing So that the effects of the fasting and the effects of the tilawah of the Quran have an effect on our hearts and are shown Can we make a commitment to speak nicer to our spouse? To our children to our parents to our co-workers in this month So that they can see that this is not just oh you're Muslim you're fasting this month No, they can people human beings around us will see something's different about you the effects of that Quran have now come into your body And the best example and I'll end on this the best best example of the Quran being embodied in a body Is the blessed body of the Messenger of Allah? Salallahu Alaihi Wasalaam When Aisha radiallahu anha was asked What was his character like? What was he like? What was his khuluq? She said kana khuluq khuluq Quran his khuluq his character were the Quran So if we want to know who he was He never wrote a tafsir. He never wrote an explanation of the Quran But if we want to know the Quran explained we look at his life so another thing that we can do during this month in Getting closer to the Quran is get closer to the Messenger of Allah Salallahu Alaihi Wasalaam to read about his life and about his seerah and about his shemael about his description if we don't have Whatever understanding we have of him Salallahu Alaihi Wasalaam We want to increase it during this month so that we can be that much closer to him and that much closer to the Quran and that much closer to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to make us from amongst the people of taqwa We ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala to give us a complete fast during this month Ya Allah ma taqabil siyamana wa qiyamana Oh Allah accept our fasts and our standing in the nights in prayer Allahumma jaalna min al-muttaqeen. Oh Allah make us from amongst the people of taqwa Allahumma rahmeh al-muslimina wal muslimat wal mu'minina wal mu'minat and oh Allah give, send down mercy upon the Muslims and the believers in all of the all of the lands especially those who are oppressed and under oppression Amin Ya Rabbi al-Alamin. Aqool al-Qa'ool al-Hadi wa Astaghfirullah Ali walakum wa Aqeem al-Sulaa


Welcome to Bruce Lee's Wing Chun. Bruce Lee's Wing Chun was a little bit different than the traditional Wing Chun that he learned from Jit Man. He modified it a lot. It's a big topic, but I'm going to try to simplify it into some basic differences between Bruce Lee's Wing Chun and regular Wing Chun. So here we go. Here's Bruce Lee's three favorite trapping techniques. Let's show it to you right now. This first one. Second one. Second one. The third one. Alright, or like this. Back fist. So those are three. Let me show you how to do them in slow motion. Alright, so the first one is starting with a hop for the back fist. For us it's the same to do this, right? Now, if his back fist pushes me over this way, I do the energy going this way. And I'm going to go underneath with the lap and continue my back fist. So double back fist. So optimal back fist. I feel the energy going this way. Grab and then back fist. Really slow down. But back fist, you push this this way. This one comes underneath. Grab, back fist. That's the first one. Second one. Similar. We start with this again. But now his energy is kind of in the middle. But it's not all the way this way. It's a little bit on this way. So I'm going to bring this one up. Then trap it down this way. And then either his arms back there. I don't know how to really worry about it. But his arm is here. And great. I get to pin it down to his hip. And now I'm open for a trap. So slow motion again. Let's go one, two. This one comes up here. Three. And then you want to go three. To pin it in like this. Drop it. See him sink it down. Okay. And then boom. Like that. That's the second one. Third one. Is that starting with my right knee, right? So I go for a punch. And he meets it. I feel that energy. I'm going to roll my elbow over. Boom. Okay. So boom. Boom. That's the back fist. Boom. So roll over. Boom. Now if he blocks it. Boom. I pull this one down. And punch. If he misses that one. Then I trap this one. And continue on this way. So that was order three. Bruce Lee's favorite trapping techniques. So cool. All right. So if you studied your Bruce Lee's history. You know that Bruce Lee only learns Lin Tao. And some Q. He never got the beauty. Interesting, right? So he only learned half. Or maybe even less than half. Then the Wing Chun forms. Now when he did Qixao. You notice that a lot of the traditional Qixao. They stand at this stance. Okay. It's a square stance. And they're a little bit backwards. And their head is upright. Like this. So they do Qixao like this. Okay. Which is okay. A lot of people do like that. And you can make that work for you. Then they're great. Now Bruce Lee. When he went to the States. He started to meet people that are a lot bigger than him. Right? Like I'm Asian. And I'm here in North America. Basically all the other people are bigger than me. Other than the other Asians here. But pretty much all the other non-Asians. Are bigger than me. So that's what Bruce Lee encountered. When he went to the States. Everybody's bigger. So what happened was. They were stronger and heavier. And this. Didn't have any structure anymore. Because it was just too hard. To put enough energy. So he modified it. Into a. Fencing or kickboxing stance. With his right knee. In front. And. He. Open. Up. His back. Instead of making it like this. You open up like that. So it'll be like. Pushing a car. If you push a wall. If you push a car. It's going to be like this. You don't push a car. Like this.  So his philosophy. Was he needed more pressure. To go against a bigger opponent. So he used it. He used the round back. To connect to the arm. And open it up a little bit. So instead of being. A little bit tight elbow. He opened up his elbow a little bit. That's how he did it. A lot of people say. Oh. That's not Wing Chun. That's not proper. But that's how he did it. I'm just showing you what he did. Okay. And the reason why he said. Is to put more pressure. Into the. Into the person. Like this. Because I can push him a lot more. Put a lot more pressure. And then that's his key. Is to use the pressure. In his jikendo. Right. Jikendo is. Weight on the intercepting fist. Which means. He has to intercept. He has to make preemptive movements. To force the other person to do something. So. This is. He modified his q-cell. To have that. To put this floor pressure. A lot of people say. Well that's too much pressure.  It's smart pressure. Because it's using. All this stuff to do. Some really cool stuff. And there's some of the fastest. Cheesaw that you've ever seen. Thanks for watching Bruce Lee's Wing Chun Trapping Techniques. I'll show you three today. There's a lot more that we can show you. And how Bruce Lee fought with his style of Wing Chun. So if you like this video. Make sure you check out some of my other videos. On this channel. And subscribe to this channel. To get cool awesome lessons on martial arts. .


Honestly, I'm more laid back and chill like I just like to I like to be comfortable when I step out.  You look good, you feel good. If I look good, you know what I'm saying my energy all that is going to be right. You get to step out your house every day and just you know I'm saying just be you. I get to smile every day I got to rock around and do me.


I wrote this poem several years ago when I was driving from Wisconsin to Washington State. It was inspired by an event that took on Highway 12 in Montana. Day of the Dead. Have you ever stroked the nose by being porcupine? It's sublime. Delicate, small, brown, furred face. Even in death, it displays innocence. Benign, soft face. Paradox partner to spiky pointed wills. And your paws. My, what big claws you have. Oh yes, the better to climb trees with. That prickly, slow pace. Not quick enough to save you from someone's speeding car. I am sorry, dear one. How may I stop, honor you, place you respectfully alongside the road? You rest now, cushioned, caressed by tall September grass. Thank you for letting me see you today. Thank you for letting me touch you. Thank you for touching my life.


Hi, so I'm Camilo and I was here like in our academy like two years ago And I was presenting the music player I was working on back then it was called babe then last year I came back because I Modified the player and now was before he was using kid widgets and Last year it was now using kid quit controls and then the story of the my project is when begins so this is a quick overview of The things I will talk about in this presentation So about the motivation of the project and the history What is the project? What is based on what are the parts of the project the current state the goals the plans the road map and There's no time for questions. We'll skip that and I will give you some info So I was as I was telling you and the project started with a music player that was called babe Then there was problem with the name, etc. And it was changed to babe Away as you want as you pleased to pronounce it Anyone's before using kid widgets, then it was moved to Kid quit controls and then it was eventually moved to use kirigami so that's kind of the history of the project and Then the motivation was to have an ecosystem but before that when I was working on weight I was Creating components and then I start working on another application That was called peaks and index and I noticed that was duplicating the word because it won't control I was using them babe. I was also using an index So I moved all these common controls to a single place and then that was called Maui kid so The motivation was to have an ecosystem to have time integration and to have a cohesive design between the applications There were 10 eventually the motivation on the gold was to work on Convergence because of kirigami and QQC too because then the music player and the other two applications Now we're working also on Android so the motivation is to have conversion cross platform multi-platform and That leads to have data that I think of between devices and also responsive design So this is like a timeline Then There is wave Then my wiki is born Then you get straight into my way project and Then just this year the whole money project was creating to the kitty and now it's part of the It's a community project So this implies some refactoring and transformation because before my wiki was like you a I was doing components of my wiki that were already available on kirigami so Now kitty my kid uses a lot of kirigami and just up from top of it specific components for the more applications So as I was telling you now the project isn't created on kitty and all the sources are The in band instance So what is the my project? So the my project? Essentially is a group of tools working together to achieve a multi-platform and converges environment the money project runs on Android and Linus depth steps and also on plasma mobile It is based on Qt quick contrast to kirigami also the Android PI and the kitty frameworks file Uses interfaces between Different libraries depending on the target system. So for example on linux. He uses the Kio Attica, etc. And Android uses the API So if we want to have my wiki running also on Windows, then we will have another interfaces Same for Mac on iOS, etc So the apps are being shipped by default On the distribution that is called nitrox. I don't know if you have heard of it and they are packet package as up images And a few apps are also going to be cheap on the plasma mobile images So basically this is like what is based on Now I'm gonna talk to you about the parts that Compone the my way project which are the applications the libraries the services the framework and the human interface guidelines And right now we have a applications We have picks that is the image and gallery viewer boom, that is a notes taking application and also it tries to work as a Spocket like you can collect links from the internet and The idea is to have all these applications to sync the data between Devices so if you have it on your Android phone the same that is going to be shown in your just a computer We also have commander that is a terminal emulator We have not that that is a simple text editor library that is a PDF viewer Dialer that is a contacts application way a music player and Index that is the file manager. These are some screenshots of the this index the file manager that means the application and the image viewer and These are the other applications So all these applications run on Android and also on plasma mobile We have a few libraries We have a library called lift up that essentially what does is allow us to sync data between devices using Right now we are using next cloud to do so so we have web that and CC that with that for syncing Files and CC that for syncing contacts and eventually also calendar We have also another library That is tagging that allows to share metadata tagging between applications. So if you have a tag in Index you can also see the attack be shown in picks also in wait, etc. So the services are Ready-made interfaces to the target system So it's very easy with Maui kit. They are framework to for example on Android Get an active notification to share the sharing dialogue To get the contacts from the Android PI same for Linux We also have the Maui style that we use on nitrox on Android and On plasma mobile and also on other distributions. We use the default style. That will be there one from plasma We have the FM that is file management tools the interfaces we kill for Linux and We have a simple implementation on Android We also have a store They allow this application to have content to get content from the stores and it is based on Attica both for Android and And finally we have an editor. There's a simple text editor and it's a backend Right now. We were working on how to see using that highlighter to work also on Android and the framework the framework is basically Maui kit which Is the composition of all these UI controls and Those those controls follow them how we have the human interface guidelines And we also have templated and abstract classes So basically when the project was being curated there was this question of why to have another Framework when there already was Kirigami and Basically the answer was always the Maui kid is a specialization of Kirigami instead of Being why proper purpose is very specific So it introduces extra components and tools to quickly clear to create Maui apps So we might keep you create Maui apps. So the current state So that All the applications except the terminal emulator are running on Android plus mobile and Linux For release candidate there is already index the firm manager picks and the music player way For beta is dialer There is not a there is boo and commander in full alpha is library All of the applications are working as expected. Just some are missing some features This is an screenshot of the fire manager running on desktop and on Android. This is actually a screenshot so the goals for the project are To work in convergence We really want to have a single application for if you're in poll index to be powerful enough to be run on desktops And also on your phone. So instead of having to have dolphin just running on On your desktop computer and our solution running on your phone. We want to have a single one We also have Want to have consistency in our ecosystem And I think that is based a lot on how we're gonna work on a human interface guidelines We have to have we want to have time integration between the applications and the underlying system And we want to keep working on class in cross-platform not only on Android and Linux, but maybe expand to Windows All right, and finally For as a bit important the design to have a smooth and cohesive Look and feel and this is like a long-term plans or something that is already in discussion And we want to work on a launcher in a shell that works for our target platforms So you will work for Android for plasma mobile and desktop the same Launcher in jail. We also be working on refining our human interface guidelines. We want to work for that on the integration with the kitty frameworks file libraries and Find ways to make the project more available to the users for the users to play with it because right now the Degenerated APK packages are not available on any store. They are like sometimes pushed to a g-hop repository So this is the roadmap for like a Near future as we will make in official releases for the applications. They are ready a With the new polishing the syncing services to make it as reliable as possible And we will continue contributing to upstream libraries use by Marie like Kirigami And write the documentation There's no time for question So the information and there will be two both sessions There's first one is that the two act tomorrow the first one is general about the Maori project and It's a general overview of the project Where we will discuss about the UI framework that is my we keep the libraries the services and the apps And we want to have input from the community about the goals the roadmap and the future plans And also discuss its place inside the key community and the second one is just After it and it's a specific about the Maori kid and the Maori high So if you want to join us, you're welcome and If you want to Join us on telegram we have this group where I usually share APK packages so you can test the applications and and for news we have these medium publication Under there were under it. There is a lot of Maori Black posts and that is the main web page of the project that are the Kitty in band instance repository links and Finally, I will be tomorrow in a table around here showing the applications running on plasma mobile on some different Android Screen-formed factors phones and also on the desk if you want to check the applications out tomorrow And that's it. Thank you


Victims are people who when you share your pain and suffering and difficulty with them They're just offended and upset Because they heard about it first second hand through someone else and feel you should have told them first They say things like well, you know, I felt you would have told me that personally You know, I thought we were closer than that if it had been me You would have been amongst the first people I would have told if it had been me. You would not have heard it through a third party. I Can't believe I had to hear it from so-and-so and the mention of person these victims So it becomes all about them being upset and offended that you didn't sort of entrust them with Telling them about it first so it becomes like all of this it becomes about them

Take care. Bye


I feel like an average person. I feel mediocre. I feel like everything is the status quo and nothing is ever going to change. Well, I've been there like many of us have and I think there's actually a simple process to stop being mediocre in life.  Alex Hein here. Now before we jump in, I've put together a free seven day self growth challenge. It's the first link right below this video and you'll get an email every day with one little thing you can do to improve your life and make it un-mediocre. Make it exceptional. So you can check it out right below this video. So a couple of years back, I had this guy reach out to me. He was someone that had been following my work for a while and he read my second book, Milk the Pigeon. And he said that he had done everything that basically society had expected. He was 35. He was a highly paid consultant making $250,000 a year. He had traveled. He was working long hours but was happy with the money he was making. But in general the overall tone of his email was that he felt like in other people's eyes he had reached the pinnacle of life success, however you define that. But internally he felt spiritually bankrupt and he felt so internally empty and so depressed that he was willing to give up everything, his job, his house, the mortgage, everything to even go take off a year as a sabbatical and travel to figure out what he had gotten wrong. When I responded to him, he said that this one line that I shared was maybe the single most useful thing he had heard in his life.  And so yeah, his mom was happy because they're immigrants and she's happier son as a highly paid consultant. And yeah, his dad's happy because he's got a house and that's a marker of success in America. And yeah, you see what I'm saying? None of these things had anything to do with him or his spirit or his consciousness or his psychology what he actually wanted internally. And so as a result, he made everyone else happy and he made himself depressed. So no surprise there. Most often the five people around you are the ones that will dictate your fate. I remember a personal trainer friend of mine said, you know what's really interesting? You can predict what someone's body weight is by looking at their friends. They're almost always within 20 pounds of that person's body weight.  And there are a lot of reasons for that but there's a whole mindset, habits, consistency. Even your finances are pretty similar to the people around you most often. And it's very interesting that mediocrity is a mindset as well, right? If you're the person who hangs out with just people who go to their nine to five, we complain and we bitch and moan all day, we go to the bar after because I think apparently that's where people unhappy with their 95s go after work. Then we talk some more about our employers and our managers, right?  And so it becomes almost like a glass ceiling. It's like a reinforcement of the norm. And I think that's why also it's so hard for people to get out of the ghetto or out of bad neighborhoods because you don't see anyone who's gotten out of the hood. The only people you see are rappers and I don't know, maybe basketball players. And so that's why music and sports become the thing that kids stereotypically aspire to from a lot of poor neighborhoods because you don't see anyone else get out.  So very often the people around you seal your fate because they are the limits of where you will be. Mindset, body, your weight, your finances, your thoughts about the ability to grow. And that's what's so scary.  And the single purpose of it is to demonstrate to yourself what the average thinking is and then what exceptional thinking is. Basically, if you don't wanna be mediocre or average, think this way. So I wanna walk you through it, just a few different domains of life. So take out a piece of paper and in the left column, basically I want you to map out the major quadrants of life, right? Why don't we just say, for example, we'll say dating, right? We'll say finance, we'll say happiness, we'll say fitness, and then let's just say growth and meaning, right? In the left column, we're gonna write average. In the right column, we're gonna write exceptional. Honestly, the easiest exercise is to write down what does the average person do in dating? What does the average guy do when he sees a pretty girl at the gym?   Well, rest assured, that average habit is gonna get an average result. What could you do that's not average? I don't know, maybe try to meet people organically through a hobby, right? Or, instead of the average Joe trying to pick up some girl at the bar, being like, hey baby, can I buy you a drink? Maybe comment on something that's more organic and less direct that in that way. So the average guy's like, let me buy you a drink. Maybe the exceptional guy's like, that's interesting, Negroni. I don't see a lot of people drinking Negroni's here. So just thinking differently, breaking the mold. Now what about finances, right? Let's say someone says, making a million dollars, million equals luck. Sure, that's the average person's mindset, but you're gonna find a lot of people who came from lower socioeconomic classes or middle socioeconomic classes who ended up becoming millionaires. What's the exceptional mindset? Well, maybe with a strategy, I can have it too, right? Because sure as hell, if you believe that being a millionaire is primarily luck, then you'll never try, for sure. What about fitness, right? What if everyone around you is like 50 pounds overweight? Love soda, loves fast food, right? Fitness, you know, I'm just this way, is the average mindset. Exceptional mindset, what could it be? I'm gonna find a role model, right? Someone in my exact scenario. 300 pounds to 180 pounds. A 180 pound woman to a 120 pound woman. So I'll find a role model and I'm gonna do what they did. So just going through all these categories and delineating, you know, on the left side, this is what the average person does in terms of mindset and thoughts and habits. But this is, if I wanna become exceptional in some way, this is what I should do, which is basically not the left column. So that exercise has helped me tons of times in my life to break the mold. So honestly, the fastest way to not become average is just to do the opposite of what you see everyone else doing. Because if you see your friends investing in some hot stock and you know they're all broke, maybe don't invest in that hot stock because that's the broke mindset. If you see all your friends drink an NO explode or some supplements who just started working out in the gym and they don't have their dream body, then maybe that's not the way to be ultimately fit.  In my mind, being exceptional or living a conversation worthy life and breaking free from the mold of average is you just can't think or do what the average person does. And if you do that, your dreams will be well assured. So that's my two sets on breaking free from average guys. Check out the link below on the self growth challenge and I'll catch you soon.


Γεια σας, είμαι Vicky εδώ και καλώς ήρθατε σε ένα άλλο βίντεο αρχιστικό. Σε τα τελευταία μου αρχιστικό βίντεο, είχα been working with the stumps from the theories, the stumps set και είμαι προσπαθεί να κάνω τα πιο από αυτή's, οπότε είχα déjà used stumps from this set in two pages as you can see here και υπάρχουν βίντεο για αυτά και σήμερα είμαι going to make a third page using the same style και σήμερα είμαι going to use the guy with the balloon. Οπότε όμως όμως όμως everything is going to be kind of a set i'm using the same method like i did in the previous pages so i'm using my alcohol inks over upo paper i have applied first my ink blending solution then applied a couple of colors and now i'm blowing with my straw i'm working on a big upo paper and once i'm happy with the outcome i'm going to stop leave it alone to dry and then i'm going to use my paper trimmer to cut it out since this background is going to end up in my six by six disc bound journal so here is my outcome and at this point it is quite sticky especially where those the ink is concentrated so i'm going to remove the stickiness by applying on top my foiling this is a lovely technique it adds such a random shine in different areas and it really brings another layer of interest on your pages and i used golden foil since it matches nicely with all the colors that i have on my page now i'm going to add more visual interest on my background by adding some stamping this time i'm using alcohol ink i have found that alcohol ink stamps great on top of upo paper and it doesn't smudge i'm working with stamps that add texture on my page and i'm using sepia archival ink which matches nicely with my background and it's not very vibrant so just another layer there and now i'm going to go ahead and start stamping this time with black archival ink to have a more vibrant look and i'm mainly going to stamp around the edges to create a lovely frame from my project i'm not going for the perfect stamp preparation here and i don't even care if i stamp upside down the words these are not meant to be right they are just there for a visual interest and as i'm doing that just to remind you that as always you will find a full list of all the supplies that i'm using today down below in the description area as well as on my blog now the stamps that i'm using now are from the etc stamp set and this is another stamp set that i have been using again and again i am making the most out of this stamp set as well and um you have probably seen me using this stamp set in the last three or four uh our general videos and here is the guy with the balloon from the theories stamp set and i'm going to stamp him on my page directly using black archival ink now i'm making sure that i apply enough black archival ink since my ink pad i think is quite dry and i'm not going to stamp a second time i want this to be kind of in the background and if i stamp a second time all those letters and the grunginess at the background is going to be very vibrant which i don't want to so i'm going to remove this background and i'm going to place another page inside just some scrap paper there and i'm going to stamp this one more time this time i'm going only for the main focal point which is the the guy with the balloon i used my stamping platform to stamp him a couple of times to get a really solid black image and now i'm using my scissors to fuzzy cut him this way i will be able to pop him on my page and he is really going to stand out against all those black letters that are in the back of this stamp so here is some leftover from a previous project these are alcohol links on huppo paper so i used a circle to cut out a little balloon i am inking up the edges with my jet black alcohol ink and just like i did with my previous pages in this same style i'm going to again use some design tape in different colors again i looked through my design tapes to find colors of tapes that match the colors of my background i'm going to embellish it a little bit in different areas just typing them together create different layers and this way i am grounding this guy somehow so he doesn't look as if he's floating on my page and here i go again just like i did with the previous two pages i am preparing the main page from my disk bound journal by adding some acrylic paint black acrylic paint all around the edges this is going to create a lovely black border which is going to frame my page nicely i'm sticking my huppo paper on top of my page and i actually use strong double sided tape to do that on my pages i always like to have different textures if possible so i'm going to thread some flaws and this is going to be the string for my balloon To secure the string i'm just going to tie a knot at the back and i'm also going to add a piece of tape but of course if you don't want to have this at the back you should have done it before you stick the huppo paper on top of your page which i didn't think of at that point now i get a lot of questions about the back of my pages and what i'm planning to do with them to tell you the truth and i said it in a previous video as well i really i'm not really bothered with the back of my pages the joy of creating is in the front and i don't really care what's going on at the back but probably i will color them black at the end when my book is finished so i have my guy popped on the page by using some tape adhesive at the back and i'm doing the same thing with the balloon i love the dimension that i got on this page and how this guy actually pops against that black text stamping at the back now i'm going to add my sentiment and again i'm using these quote chips and i went with the one that says dreamer of dreams so i'm going to play around with it decide where i want this to go i'm making up the edges and i have some double sided tape at the back and just place it on my page so i'm going to call this done and now all i have to do is to put the page back on my disk bound journal and here are the two pages that i already made using the same stamp set and i'm going to make sure to link to those two videos at the end of this one in case you want to check them out and that was the project for today i hope that you had fun and got inspired to create with alcohol links your backgrounds i still have this stamp here that i haven't tried let me know in the comments if you want to see another page in this same style using the last of those stamps in the theory stamp set so here are some close-up photos thank you all so much for watching and i'll see you next time


But in many ways, it has balance and offers mutual gains for two huge trading partners. Permit me, Brian, to salute the very special and dedicated Canadians and Americans who work to put the disagreements lectures in both of our countries. We're both favorably on this historic free trade agreement. Important as that step is, there are still other steps to be taken on the global economic stage. You and I will be meeting again in Toronto this June at the Economic Summit, where we will have discussions with our colleagues from Europe and Japan. We hope to move the process of international economic coordination forward. These discussions will also speed the way to what we trust will be a successful gap round of negotiations. We know that Canada shares with us our concerns about those many barriers to agricultural and we give substance to a comprehensive multilateral reform of the international trading system. This will not be easy to accomplish, but it must be undertaken. And our objectives must include meaningful progress on agriculture. Agriculture is fundamental to both our economies, and it is an export area in which we're highly competitive in a free and open world market. The United States actively seeks the elimination of all subsidies in agriculture as a top priority. Together, we must be successful in order to restore market forces in world agriculture. Cooperation is the home more the way. And no one said we aren't moving. Ours is a relationship with people and their ability to hold persons without our security relations. It is a great benefit to the smooth operation of Northern NATO and our shared responsibilities for the defense of North America. A recent contribution to the defense effort of us. This is but another illustration of a shared sense of purpose. Vice President Bush. This is Bush and Secretary Schultz and friends. I want to point this out to Secretary Baker. There is an imbalance in those figures and imbalance in your favor. There are no plans to legislate against you. Mr. President, I was determined when I took office to approach relations between our countries in their institution. In the summer, it is new in the history of the Canadian-American relations, and now it has become an integral part of our relations. In the present, in the president's second term of office, and in what I hope will be that I gather you have something in this country called the 22nd Amendment. But the principles we set out for ourselves at Quebec in 1985 by this president's geopolitical potential is most significant. And I, too, want to pay tribute to Jim Baker and Clayton Yider for the very constructive role they played with our top people at a most critical hand's contributions to NATO. We have reached a pragmatic solution on the issue of transit through the Northwest Passage. The issue of acid rain remains a challenge for us.
