Hi there and welcome to the channel. So today I'm out in the garage doing some more winter sewing and today's video is going to be all about starting herbs using the winter sewing method. So not only is growing herbs in your garden a great way to have fresh herbs all summer long that you can use in your cooking and if you can't keep up to all the fresh herbs you can always dry them and store them over the winter for your cooking and to make different spice blends. But did you also know that herbs are a great companion to have in your garden? They attract all sorts of beneficial insects such as butterflies and bees. So these types of herbs will attract those bad insects and keep them away from your tomatoes, your peppers. Sometimes the smell that the herbs give off confuses the insects so that they can't get to your vegetables. So we're going to plant up a variety of these today. We'll go through a little more detail on what I'm planting and what they are good for in your garden. So I think I have eight containers here ready to plant up and I've tried to narrow down my herbs to eight. Basil of course is something that everybody should have in their garden. It's wonderful to eat fresh. It's a great companion herb to have around your tomatoes so I always try to get as much basil going as I can. I'm going to try some in the winter sewing method. Probably do some from seed indoors and I also have it growing in my Aero garden indoors this winter. So dill is something that I'm sure everybody also wants to have in their garden. They work great at repelling cabbage moths and also attract butterflies. The mint here I usually try to get some of that going every summer in my garden. I like to harvest it for tea and to make different body care products out of. But also the scent of it is good at attracting aphids and other bad insects that may be getting at your vegetables. Mint will help protect them. And parsley is such a hardy herb. It's probably the most hardy herb that you can find that grows well here in the cold climates such as mine. So this is something that I always get going in my garden and plant amongst my vegetables and it can be direct sown early in the spring. But we're going to try some in the winter sewing method. I've planted this up before using jugs and it actually grows really well that way. I will also be planting up some borage which is great at repelling pests and attracting those beneficial insects. Cilantro is something that I have planted using the winter sewing method before and it always seems to come really well in the winter sewing method. So I will be doing a batch of this even though I don't like cilantro. There's a lot of people in my family who do so I always try to grow it and again it's a great attractor of beneficial insects and those butterflies and bees to your garden. So when it comes to doing your winter sewing you see in most of the videos that the traditional method is to use a milk jug like this which is very ideal and it makes a great mini greenhouse. But sometimes these are hard to come by. We don't use these kind of milk jugs in our homes so I have to go around scrounging from friends and family. I know in some provinces in Canada they don't even get milk in plastic jugs. They only get one bag so it's not an option for them. So you know just look around and see what else you have that will work as a mini greenhouse. So as you can see here I have some juice jugs, a climato juice jug. This is a vinegar jug and even a small one like this. This is also just a vinegar jug. Could work. It doesn't have as large a surface area to plant in. So for today when I'm doing herbs I'm going to kind of look at my my selection of herbs and see what I really don't need a whole bunch of and you can use something like this as well. So as always I start off my winter sowing process here by getting the soil nice and moist. I like to use the the wicking system and fill the tray that they are sitting in with water. Let it wick up from the bottom and then also give it a good top watering once we got the seeds planted. So I'm going to start off with one of these jugs here that's a good replacement if you don't have any of the milk jugs. It's still got a nice big surface area. It's clear so it lets in a lot of the sunlight and the heat. Just make sure you remove the cap, make your hinged top lid and always have some holes in the bottom for good drainage. So I'm going to use this for my borage. There's not a whole pile of seeds in here but I'm going to put them all in because I like to heavily seed when I'm doing the winter sowing just to help ensure success. We'll cover it with another light layer of the potting soil. So my potting soil is a mixture that I have made myself. It consists of peat moss, vermiculite or perlite and that I have at a 2 to 1 ratio, two parts peat moss, one part vermiculite or perlite. And because these seeds are going to be in these containers for a period of time they need to also have some nutrients in the soil so unlike a starting mix that you would have indoors for your seedlings I've also added in some organic fertilizer and some mushroom compost. So this will make a nice little home for the seeds right up until the time it's ready to harden them off and plant them into your garden. And I always make sure I put a marker inside my jug just in case the writing on the exterior of the jug kind of fades or washes off in the spring and do it before you move on to the next one so you don't forget what you planted. So some of the other herbs that you want to make sure that you have in your garden that I'm just not doing today would include thyme, oregano, rosemary. I find rosemary did not work well for me using the winter sowing method. It's very slow to grow and it's something that you either want to buy from the greenhouse you know an already established plant to put into your garden or start it indoors like right about now early February so that you have a good sized plant to put outdoors come spring. As mentioned I said you can even use these smaller containers this is just a mini vinegar jug we're going to use it to try planting up some cilantro. I used to consider I've had pretty good success with cilantro I don't have a ton of seeds left so that's why I'm gonna just make use of the smaller container. So I do have a lot of herbs started indoors right now using my Ido hydroponic system and that is where I have my oregano and thyme and rosemary started. Those are all great to have in your garden to deter cabbage moths so if you have the brassicas growing in your garden such as the cabbage broccoli cauliflower you might want to think about putting some of those herbs nearby. Something else that I've learned the hard way when I'm going to plant things and this is not just you know winter sowing but when I'm going to set up some seeds I think I have a lot of seeds and then when I go to actually do the planting I realize that there's very few in the package and I'm a little bit short so when you're going through your seeds and planning out your garden make sure you open up the package and actually have a look and see what how much is in there make sure you have enough in case you need to make another run to the seed store to get more. So I have a lot of people ask me when is the best time to winter sowing? Is it too early to start? Is it too late to start? So I am here in growing zone 3 and my last frost date is about the third week of May. So in the colder zones like 3, 4, 5 most of us have that last frost date sometime in May. I try to backtrack about a month prior to that and you want those winter sowing jugs to make sure that they go outside and that they get frozen solid. You don't want to move them out too late in the season so I try to shoot for middle of March. If you have a very cold spring you know maybe right till the end of March. As long as they freeze these seeds need to go through the stratification process so that is when the seeds are frozen and the spring thaw comes and they kind of are thawed and frozen a few times it kind of wears down that outer shell on the seed and helps it with germination. So that is what we call stratification and that's what winter sowing kind of mimics. So if these seeds were in the ground all winter they would go through that process of spring thaw and kind of breaking down that outer shell of the seed and when the time is right they know when to start germinating. Sage is one of the ones that I have very few seeds left so I'm just going to use a small container like this for today. So I usually have a good patch of chives coming back every spring in my garden which is great. They work really good for repelling aphids and the Japanese beetle and they recommend you plant chives near peas, lettuce, celery or cucumbers. So I am doing peppermint right now and the seeds are super super tiny. I'm going to plant this whole package even though it's probably more than enough but you don't get a whole lot when you buy a pack of mint here and I know it can be very invasive in some gardens. For my climate here I don't seem to have an issue with anything getting too overgrown. It usually gets killed off over the winter so I am going to plant a good amount of mint in my garden. You can also put these into containers so that they're more contained and then just set them out amongst your your garden wherever you want to and that helps keep them from you know getting out of control and invading areas that you don't want them to. So right now we are in mid-February and we're having quite a warm spell so the temperatures are rising above freezing during the day so that is always a concern for people who winter sow and in our cold climates here you know sometimes we get these thaws or Chinook things warm up super fast and it could confuse your winter sowing seeds to think that it's spring when it's actually not so I always start off by putting my jugs somewhere just in the shade out of the wind away from the dog so that you know they're safe and you know the chances of them thawing out are pretty slim because we still get you know cold evenings and then when it comes time to think about them getting ready to germinate you know mid-march end of March that's when I start you know putting them out somewhere where they're going to get lots of sunlight they're going to warm up during the day and the jugs will keep them warm at night when the temperatures still drop below freezing and they will get going on germination. So again not too many parsley seeds I see in my pack here so I have just chosen a small container such as this little juice jug to plant them up. Last year I had a real failure with my winter sowing week we got a new puppy Jax which unfortunately we we lost him in an accident this spring but he was really interested in my winter sowing jugs as soon as I put them outside and I came home one day to find them pretty much 50% of them were strewn all over the yard all shook up and so my winter sowing success last year was pretty low I'm hoping that this year with with our new puppy I'll be a little more wiser about where I place these and keep them in a safe place and hopefully I will have lots of good updates on the winter sowing come spring that I can share with you and other videos. I think I'll probably be doing one more winter sowing video on my channel and that is going to be planting up some native flowers I got a whole bunch from a local grower here seeds that are native to the Saskatchewan prairies and they are perennial type flowers that should do well in the winter sowing method so right now I have those seeds sitting in the the freezer right now chilling them kind of helping them with that stratification and you can watch for another video coming on winter sowing native flowers brassicas are another really good thing to use this method because they are a real cold tolerant type vegetable that does well you know being out in the cold in the spring I personally don't grow brassicas yet I haven't really had a passion to grow them yet so but I do recommend if you're winter sowing that you try them if you like to grow them the other thing that works really well winter sowing is lettuces, kale, spinach, arugula those all do well because they're all cool tolerant plants as well I find Drex sowing them into my containers works really great so that's what I've been doing just because I don't have enough winter sowing jugs but if you want to do those those work really well in winter sowing as well something I don't know if I've noted on other videos is using a good quality duct tape seems to be important I purchased some of the cheaper stuff at the dollar store a couple years ago that you know those funky colors and different designs on it and when I went to remove that tape in the spring it was really hard to get off the jugs so I went back to the actual duct tape name brand for using on my winter sowing jugs and find that it it comes off a lot easier that way you can still recycle these if you want to at the end of the winter sowing season so I hope that you found my video helpful and I answered a few questions that you may have about winter sowing and about growing herbs in your garden all the benefits if you have any more questions about winter sowing or other gardening things please leave a comment below hit that like button and don't forget to subscribe so that you don't miss out on future videos coming to the channel happy gardening


Alright you guys what is up welcome back welcome back to another video look it's it's definitely bittersweet I've sat here for about 10 minutes you know not really wanting to make this video because it's the last one it's the last one of the series guys we've done 100 well actually 99 we're about to do a hundredth reaction to Aaron Donald defensive tackle for the Rams I heard about him throughout the season you know I think he might have got like 15 18 sacks or something killing it on defense but I didn't really look at him you know as much as I probably should have one for the fact that I was following running backs receivers and quarterbacks the most closely last year I didn't really understand about the defensive line I didn't really understand about the tackles guard centers I don't really I didn't really look at them to be honest but now now that my knowledge has come on a little bit I can you know first of all look at what the quarterbacks doing look at what the running backs doing then I then my eyes spy to what the receivers are doing then it spies to to what the linemen are doing and I'm sort of slowly but surely working out you know where my eyes are meant to go on each play to follow it as closely as possible but in the game of football obviously every player is doing their own job and if every one of those 11 players does their job properly then you should have some success right it's about knowing your role it's about knowing your job and getting it done play after play and I think a guy like Aaron Donald would most likely be doing that so look I'm gonna stop trying to actually sound like an American football coach right now because I'm an absolute rookie and we're just gonna sit back and appreciate you know a guy like Aaron Donald what he brings to the game which is just beastliness I think he went through the combine with the fastest the fastest 40-odd dash for a lineman ever I think we're gonna have to check that all right let's get into it number one baby facts man it's funny to see he looks like a he looks like a teddy bear I'm not gonna lie I'd love to give him a hug actually how good how good NFL top 100 number one player 2019 as voted by his peers Aaron Donald number one player in the league guys the whole league and it's not the fans voting it's his peers which makes it that much better man respect do you watch rugby player reacts to it though that's the question look at that Nick whoa yeah there's no stop in that oh and then he's got a 4.5 second 40 nah setting an NFL record for sex by a defensive tackle with 20 and a half Aaron Donald played in his first Super Bowl I'm afraid he did his best man he's gonna get past the double team well it's actually like a second well first of all they didn't double him right away which is probably the biggest issues you probably get two people on him as soon as possible and you can see the center there's putting my hand on the suit and I'm coming over and if you don't block him with two guys you're gonna have a long day nothing much a quarterback can do that who's that the Lions he's pretty similar to that he's just kind of better than anyone else and if you don't put all your attention on him he's gonna make a player change man he's been a beast since he stepped into national football league if you look at his game it's not only just pass where he's a beast in the run game to chase the ball down this time is for Lowe's what makes him so I don't want to figure it out let's all get some diaries look at him look at him trying to rip that ball out God he's got a lot of strength man explosiveness disruptive that's a strong man man I got it's not the tallest guy and I got the leverage you know I got the speed I got the strength so you know putting all that together with technique you can do a lot of different things but what do you got to say about that Lowe? Not a lot. Yeah. Not a lot. He's unbelievable. As an end I can watch him and still learn, let's just be a full watch. I don't like him. I think I'm trying to talk a little bit more about him even though I'm one on one. You don't want to go one-on-one with Aaron Donnellman no way he's too fast bros way too fast in fact you know what let's look at exactly how fast is Aaron Donnell 40 look at the day that was with defensive lineman at the NFL Combine and by proxy Timmy Jernigan's upper body all of it thanks Timmy here's to Davion Clowney's official 4-5-40 which technically makes him a velociraptor damn here's Warren sat terrified of the velociraptor before him somehow lost in the Clowney shuffle though is pits Aaron Donald who at 285 pounds runs an unofficial 4-6-5 and puts up 225 pounds on the bench 35 times like that's a thing that just happens absolute beast what an absolute beast he is let's have a look at this fuck it 4-6-6 he got at 285 pounds he's unassuming isn't he at this stage this would be good isn't the chess would you fucking impressive I need to know how tall he is 6-1 okay six yeah alright okay as a lineman as a tackled defensive tackle at 6-1 he definitely has that leverage but he's definitely got the weight behind him as well he went the 13th pick 13th pick the first round of the 2014 draft he's been a ram ever since he's made the Pro Bowl every single year he's made all pro every year except for his first one big step around the outside it was playing see-offs and I did it and I got through when I just kind of stole a jump chop pull up a rocket when I shot out the rub this is when you get the pressure a little bit more with his hand down pushes up through a little bit more so it works it works that what's your favorite club last season we had a couple big plays against the Chiefs having a little bit such a little rip and I pushed up see how many other linemen are 6-1 not that many a it looks like a cheat code it's pretty crazy to watch just the things that he can do physically the way you can take over a game it's kind of a marvel to watch young guys watch him play and I said you know the most dangerous thing you can do is watch that guy do what he does because you can't do it try to be the best version of you try to figure out what works for you but don't watch that guy think that you're gonna be able to pull those things off he does so many things and then illegal the people the size of the men that he is moving so easily is just incredible you try and move this guy in my opinion he's in VP of the league and I'm not just talking about the defense I mean it's crazy he's changing the game pretty tackles and he's how old 28 you know what this thing nice man the top 100 players of 2019 oh it's what a fucking time to be alive how was that I think that was a whole lot of fun I can't wait to do it next year already but this is where we're at guys this is where we're at 13th floor San Kilda Melbourne you know it's it's been a nice week spot to have over the last three or four days but today today is Wednesday Wednesday the 21st of August and it's a wet well I just said it's a Wednesday but on Wednesdays we had football training so tonight at 6 30 or 7 7 o'clock I think I'm gonna go down to my third ever football training I'm gonna bring the camera down and you guys will see that footage on the on the channel probably a hell of a lot sooner than what you're gonna see this video but anyways my mission over the next few weeks is to get these all edited get them all uploaded all published for you guys and then fuck who knows man I'm just loving I'm loving this journey you know the only reason I went so hard so so early on these reactions I did hundreds hundreds because I saw a formula that worked and I I said fuck it I'm gonna I'm gonna go hard on this but the other main reason why I continue to do this why I continue to have the passion for the sport is because I wanted to play I wanted to play so bad I wanted to line up on the field feel what it actually felt like to you know take contact with pads because it's completely different than rugby I come to you guys as a rugby player trying his absolute very best to delve into the world of American football and play and that's exactly what we're doing so this weekend guys this weekend is our first actual proper game and it's gonna be a hell of a lot of fun but it starts with practice and that's tonight so guys I'm gonna take my helmet off now I'm gonna wish you all farewell and say once again thank you for being here if you've liked the video hit the like button if you want to subscribe please do currently we're at just under 122,000 subs and I want to hit 200,000 by the end of the year I don't know how that's going to happen I don't know if it's even possible but with your help it may be and it starts by liking the video so with that being said guys peace out from Melbourne St Kilda actually Melbourne Australia and good night


Check it, check it, check it, it's a unique hustle, it's your boy, E-C-E-O.  Hey, man, we got our favorite guy in here today, man. I got my guy in here today, y'all in trouble, man, Charleston White in the building. Hey, what's up with it, man? Man, it's good to see you, man. I tell you, man, every time I think about it, I say, man, I need to get Charleston light back on here, man, and I just be tripping, cuz at the end of the day, I can't, I be interviewing a lot of people, Charleston, but yours is the most impactful that I got. I can't find nobody to beat you. I done drove to Houston, I done been to California, you're, I done been everywhere, and I can't figure it out, but it's just the favor of God to me that I know already that's where, that's what he's showing me, you know? Yeah, my legs done got longer since the last time I been, I keep knocking my knees up and I can't tell you right here, man, but something different, man. Man, my wife got new charos, man. She went on bought a new, we could afford a new charo too, so she done changed the charos up on us, man. It's something different, man. Say, man, you got this merch here today, man, that's what I, I really, I'm like, man, this boy got some merchandise now. I want to ask you a few questions about it, man, I already, I seen this one come to Texas, nigga. I knew that this one was going to come, but, but the other ones I didn't see coming. I got all 50 state niggas. That's what I see. I seen that. I remember you told me in Vegas and I was like, man, that's dope, but you didn't only just say it, you did it, man. And the tagging is right. I tell all these young niggas when they use bring me shirts over here, make sure your tagging is right, man. So it staples the fact that it's yours. That's the game I got up in Vegas. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. You took me to Vegas. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, I was listening and taking notes and paying attention. Yeah, man.  Yeah, this one for her. I've been washed twice. Yeah, this doesn't mean wash twice.  Yeah. Boy, that whole glistening. You know, we were cardin' a while ago, man. I couldn't believe. I was telling her. I say, that red hitting, man. Yeah, it doesn't mean wash twice, man. Really?  Oh, man, I got a, I don't want to give up my source. Yeah, I get it. I get it. But just give me, just give me some hints, man. I got, I got a partner that's been in, in, in the T-shirt making business for, for 20 years now. Okay. And he's doing very, very well in Texas. He's doing very, very well in Texas, man. Probably two to $3,000 a day. Wow. You know, making, he got the whole factory. And so, they used to have a wrapper. They used to have a wrapper. You know, things didn't go well with the, with the wrap industry. And so they have some knowledge that, that, that I needed going forward in, in, in this entertainment shit, right? Mm-hmm. So my partner flew in and, and he flew in for one night just to tell me something.  So, having that conversation about trademarking my name and then you booked the trip to Vegas. So, I had already been having that conversation, man. I need some, I need some merch. I need some product. So, I trademarked not just my name, but, you know, my scenes, game-related, not game-related. Yeah. Na na na booboo. Na na na booboo. Freakisha. Freakisha.  Yeah. Yeah. And you know, shout out to Tupac. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. That's another I wanted to talk about. And so, when I went to Vegas, we was walking by, we was walking by clothes designers, but we wear they clothes every day, but they look like regular people. Yeah, yeah. That's right. Yeah. I saw people from all walks of life and, and, and the clothing industry is a trillion-dollar industry. Correct. When black people buy clothes, they buy clothes by the billions of dollars annually. Mm-hmm. Right? Mm-hmm. Spend billions of clothes annually. That's right. I'm not tapping to some of my people like doing. Wow. Yeah. Neganation. The boy got neganation, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I, I definitely, I'm getting in these. You know, I carry these in the store too, guys. Y'all come by and get you a t-shirt, man. Uh, dope. The, the quality. I've been selling clothes for many, many years. And I know when I see something special. And then, you know, I got into the textile industry by way of, of Mr. Antonio Sales, uh, out of Nashville, Tennessee.  Yeah. Uh, I get t-shirts for, you know, 50 cents. I get thermals for a dollar. I get beanie hats. I get these hats for, so, he brought me into the textile industry, and so I started studying, uh, textile product, cotton made material. Uh, cotton is a product that grow out of the ground. Mm-hmm. Uh, we should be in the cotton business. Okay. There's no business while we shouldn't be a whole seller, uh, cotton distributor of selling t-shirt, socks, panties, and bras, and, and cotton is what made America a superpower.   You know, that's one thing I can say. I, I get, I get something from you. I guess it's like the rap music. You know, you be like, man, I don't want to hear anything. Talk about nothing. Yeah. When I, when I interview you, I always get something from it. That's, that's a good thing. It's, it's, it's five white families that control all the cotton product in America. Wow. So what does that tell you? They probably want its own slaves. That's right. Uh, cotton, China, China buys up the world's trash, the plastic, all the recycle. They take stuff like this and make nala and silk. We make cotton on its end of the world. So we keep the cold climates warm with what we grow here. Uh, President Trump shut down the Gilden headquarters in Mexico and moved it to Haiti. Uh, Haiti is a, uh, that's our brother in country who we should be importing and exporting from, whether it's sending them vegetables and fruits and they sending us T-shirt, socks, jackets, hats, or whatever. So when I got into the textile industry two years ago, that opened my mind up, uh, into having different streams of income, right? So I sell T-shirts, I sell socks, I sell hats, panties, brawls, face towels.   Oh man. You dope. Ain't no, ain't no reason for you not to.  Not only, and when you say branding for me, I just know a lot of people get to be clothed in my mind. That's the way I look at it. I don't look at it no other way. I don't look at it like, oh, this here, no, you providing a service to where you can help people to be clothed. If you really think about it and break it down, that's what it is. Yeah. Well, uh, and the time picker thing, it hit home. Yeah. Well, if you think about America is the youngest country in the world, but it became a superpower.  We come along with this new democracy and the reason we was able to do that is because what grows here. So that's how America became this superpower continent is because of cotton and niggas picking cotton and then came along the cotton gene. Once the cotton gene came, right, then America started industrializing the factories up north, cotton down south, picked the cotton down hill, sent it up north, put the dye in it, you make jeans, T-shirts, all that. And that's what made America America. Okay. Getting back to shirts, where can we, where can we get these at? The real Charleston white dot com. Okay.  You'll see the prices on there and the price is right. You know what I mean? So, so I can't get in my plug, right? So, but there's a guy by the name of Mr. Sales. Okay. This man been doing this for 10, 10 years. Yeah, I remember you had told me about it. Man, this man got, he's selling T-shirts all over the country. T-shirts, high visibility vest, personal protective equipment gear. He got storage facilities in three different states. Man, that's the plug. Okay. The sweatsuit. So all of our people making T-shirts, Harry Hines, the Chinese district in Houston where everybody going for wholesale prices, they all going to Tennessee. Wow. And you told me that. And I'm definitely, I'm loving the fact that the info is real and that people can get this and they can, and they can start. How hard is it to start your own business now in these times? It's not hard at all.  It's not hard at all. Man, 250 dollars can start a business. Okay. Okay. That 200, a print press making costs 250. Yeah. A phone that you own every day, you can start a business with that phone. With that phone. Man, that's dope, man. So, man, I remember we talked about Mob James and everything in Vegas, man. Thank you for the interview. It did well. Yeah. To be honest with you, I enjoyed it. I got so much feedback. You know what I'm saying? I'm saying, I'm back on again. You know what I'm saying? Well, the Vegas trip. I enjoyed it. Did you enjoy it? Well, the Vegas trip made me feel like a celebrity. Man, them people loved you out there, man. Hey, man, that's funny to me.  The Vegas trip. The Vegas trip made me go look in the mirror and say, yeah. Yeah. I enjoyed it, man. When people was approaching you, I was like, man.    Lighting up in Atlanta. He said, you got to turn up some more. You be dealing with Charleston, man. Everybody need to know you. I was like, they love you, man. So, man, that's a big thing, man. But so this dude, I was watching, I seen it a little bit of it on your page, which made me go look for it too. No jumper. Is that the guy Adam? Yeah. And before we talk about that white boy, man, I launched my website in August with these shirts and these hats. And my first month, we almost did $10,000. Woo. Yeah. And so what you expecting to do that good? I don't know what to expect. It's all new. Yeah. Yeah. But when I, like I said, when I took the material and touched it and looked at it and seen what you was doing, I took, when I seen it all the, not just Texas, but every state, you can get this shirt. I knew already, already, already knew. I said, man, this thing will take off because you got everybody looking for you and at what you're doing. And I got the website set up where I can see which social media site is generating the most money for me. So shout out to my Facebook people. Mm-hmm. I probably did like 2,000 off Facebook. So you are selling on Facebook as well? Yeah, Facebook. That's dope, man. Yeah. After the Vlad TV interview, I think like 50, almost 60,000 people visited the website. Wow. That's a lot, man. That's a lot of people. I've seen that. That first day, when you first, when he dropped the first video, it was over 200,000 like that. Yeah.  It was like dumb, man. No brainer, man, that what you're doing, man, is bringing, hey, man, it's growing. Yeah. Like, yeah. I can't see it because I'm in the storm. Yeah. Yeah. I can't see it because I'm in the storm. But, you know, I treat it every day like it's the last. Hey, man. That's what you're supposed to, Charles. Yeah. Hey, man. So let's get back to this no jump. I want to ask you about this guy because I just wanted to bring awareness to the clothing, but I wanted to ask about this. And then I got to ask really, I seen that. Do you know that guy? Adam Guy? Adam 22. No, I never met him. I just heard about him this year. Yeah. I've been seeing him for, I've seen his stuff because I watched, you know, I just strolling through the internet and I've seen him, but I really never paid much attention to it. Me either. Yeah. I'm really, I'm new to the, I'm like a kid that's been playing in the front yard. I've been on Facebook for the last five, six years, right? I'm a Facebook, I'm a Facebook nigga, you know, my local crowd. So I don't know, I don't know, I didn't know anything about YouTubers. I ain't know anything. I just really got hip to Instagram last year, right? So I ain't know nothing about none of these people. Okay. He sent me, he sent me an invitation to be on, on, on Nojumper probably around April, May. Exactly. Yeah. And so then that's when I took notice of him. Okay. What would make him bring you? I know, I know that crew of Mack guy have been messing with, they linked up up there. That's a West Coast thing. What would make them bring your name up in their show like that? Well, he invited me to, you know, back then it was me and Bosco getting into it, you know, it was me and Bosco getting into it. So it would have been great for his number. Well, why you didn't, why didn't you go? My spirit wasn't right. You know, my spirit didn't move right. Okay. And then I didn't know nothing about him. Okay. So yeah, yeah, I ain't just jumping to be on, yeah. No matter who it is, you have to walk the whole world. And I were of Vlad TV as the white boy. Correct. Correct. And he came behind him, so I do know that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I ain't no white boy in the social media world better than Vlad TV. Vlad TV, you're right. To the niggas. No, you're right. Yeah, to the niggas.  But then I started asking around and said, nah, man, that'd be a good platform to go on. Well, in my mind, I had just got into it with the A-Trade niggas, Lil' Sodie. So in my mind, they playing on me. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In my mind, my spirit said, nah, man, they playing on me.  Now this before... This before this statement was this way. Yeah, because I had just got into it with Lil' Sodie. I had got into it with Wack 100. I remember that. I had got into it with Big U. I had got into it with Bosco. Man, I would say niggas were coming out to woodwork. You know, I would like Bruce Lee fighting everybody and winning and whooping everybody. Yeah, no, I see this. Yeah, I see this. So my spirit, man, I'm a nigga operating by spirit. Yeah, so my spirit wasn't right, man. So if my spirit lead me to death, I won't feel bad. If I lead, yeah.  But if I'm walking in spirit and I walk in the death, nigga this meant to be. Yeah. So, nah, I didn't go. So he hit me up again and say, next time you and LA stop by and I said, yeah. And I would go do it. Just pop up on them and you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But what I was going to do, I was going to hire me some LA County shirts. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I would go get me the baddest motherfuckers or the baddest motherfuckers. Yeah. Up under the baddest motherfuckers, the FBI.  No, no, no, I get it. And show up there and have everybody uncomfortable smiling during the interview. And yeah, so that's what I was going to do. Yeah, that's what I was going to do, right? Yeah.   Yeah. Talk about he'll set me up. 8D. 8D or something? 8D or something. Yeah, 8D. Well, he can talk down on me, you know. Do we have your own name? I never heard of this dude. Listen, Adam 22 is the nigga. That's the only one I ever seen. Yeah, yeah. I don't even know where the mother dudes come from. They look kind of different. I can dig the nigga dirty mac and on me, right? Yeah.  And let me just say this.   Man, it don't bother me. Nigga, you on the plantation just like I'm on the plantation. Yeah, you think your plantation different than mine. And it is. White folks treat us differently down here than they treat you niggas up there. They give us opportunities down here. You niggas ain't got none up there. So we arguing over. Y'all Texas nigga, we California niggas. And I'm saying Crippin' Blood. Correct. What y'all doing to our race, my nigga. And it wasn't about y'all at first. It wasn't about California Crippin' Bloods. It was about Crippin' Bloods. Yeah. They made it about them. They made it about them. Why would they do that, though? Well, you can't say slob. If you was up here, we'll do this to you. You can use the word slob. You niggas is grown men trippin' over a word. Yeah. I know you talk against gang violence, but you used to be in gangs. I once heard my mama say I was a wannabe gang member. And I said, damn. I said that when I was on the front with Melvin Forman. I said the same thing. My mama said, no, nigga, I thought I was. My mama said in a documentary interview, he was a wannabe gang member. And it made me sit back. I was a wannabe gang member. Wow. I don't know one person ever died behind gang violence. I don't know one nigga ever been shot behind gang violence. I joined the gang for recreation in a boy's home. In a boy's home. No fight lasted over a minute and a half, two minutes. But we fought every day. Nobody got seriously hurt. And when they all went to prison, they became friends. So how was we gang banging? When we all grew up, you see what I'm saying? It wasn't gang banging. It wasn't no gang. I was in a boy's home just recreating, claiming a gang. When I got home and I looked around in my community, it wasn't no gang banging in 98. I went in in 91. Gang banging was just starting. When I got in juvenile detention center in September 91, I hadn't never seen a crib except on television. We used to see them, but we didn't know what they was. It wasn't until niggas was in juvenile up close and personal and seeing Lil Rank. And all the niggas were falling behind Lil Rank with the throwing up the funny hand sign. Man, what's that like on that movie? It wasn't until I got into the boy's home, the state school, where niggas became educated about gangs. When I got older and came home, there was no gang. So I never gang banged home. Definitely. The AD guy made the statement, said he was going to set you up. What was that all about? A niggah's feelings? Exactly what it was. You got any emotions? A niggah who don't know me. A niggah who don't know me. And he the reason why I don't like California niggas. They'll go against their own kind. Wow. They created something for black people, right? So do you think he was doing that for them? Hold on, hold on, hold on. He was talking down to his own kind to a white boy. Yeah, hold on. Listen, he on no jumper, Adam 22. It don't say no jumper, Adam 22 and AD in the crew. His name ain't nowhere on no platform. On this white boy's platform. It's two niggas right there with the white boy. Yeah, I think phone or something. It's two niggas on now with this Pecklewood white boy. And the niggas say I set him up. Now, I ain't done nothing to this niggah. I don't even know this niggah mad at me. I don't have no clue this niggah mad at me. He ain't said I done something to him. He ain't said I shot his dog.  He didn't say I cussed at his mama.  And if he come her, I set him up. So niggah, his feelings. That's what he said. And he sent it to a white man. But look what the boss tell him. Boss tell him, well, niggah, I want to interview the niggah so bad. I meet him in Motel 6 by myself without you, niggah. Because this is the Adam 22 no jumper show.  That's what the white boy said in so many words. I heard him say that in so many roundabouts. In so many words. He said I will meet him at the Motel 6 by myself. You won't set him up on my channel. It was the white boy Adam 22 told him in so many words. And then not only that, the same white boy who he on this platform say I get this niggah kill, say I agree with him. I heard that. And then he came around. He came around and said I was right. Did you think he came around because he felt the energy from Adam? No. He already agreed with you. Listen, when you got hate in your heart, it won't make sense. Okay. When you got hate in your heart, you can't explain that. You just sound crazy. He just sounded crazy. He can't say, listen, all these niggas howling about what they'll do to me. It's people in their real life who have done things to them that may warrant a response for them to do something back to them. They go overlooked that to harm me for what I said. And they don't even know me. Wow. Do you think that Crip Mack, with him being on there, that made him think about you again because you and Crip Mack been going back and forth? No. Well, Crip Mack and Charleston. I didn't really understand what the Crip Mack thing is about. Man, you got to keep in mind. I got to keep in mind. We all plan for numbers. Okay. We all plan for numbers. Charleston, White, and Crip Mack is trending like a market number. Why not? Man, you got 3.7 million. Why not talk about Charleston and Crip Mack? That's a great response. But this white boy keeps them niggas around them. They get exploited. They just was fighting up there the other day. So I always fight up there at this studio. Really? But he got to attach himself to the gangbanger niggas because he speak on hip-hop culture. Okay. Yeah, because that's a gang thing. That's what they do. Well, in California, you got to, you see what I'm saying? Gang bang and street niggas.  And his main topic is hip-hop. Yeah, you're right. He got to make niggas friends. He got to make niggas friends that say, nah, man, don't y'all mess with my white boy. And he can feel safe up there. So that's why he got a West Coast presence. Yeah. Ain't too many people in the industry fooling with the West Coast.  After Nipsey Hustle, they for sure over with. Nobody wants to deal with them. They made a statement and they tried to bring it up Nipsey Hustle. They was like, well, he spoke on Nipsey. Nipsey, the character. And then the person. Is it? Irrimis, you said that. And you always made that clear. But for some reason people tend to not get it. Well, because poor people love idols. These are poor people and their idols are gods to them. Their idols are gods. So they worship these idols. Wow.  So is that Crypt Mac dude, is he one of the idols?    The idolized no nigger. Yeah, there's drinking Old English 800 in 2021. Oh damn, tattooed on his face.  Yeah, that's your choice of drink. Nah, man, ain't nobody taking nobody like that series. So they taking advantage of it? Yeah, man, listen, listen.  There ain't no motherfucking way everything will be $2,500 off the top, minimally. Big as his name is. He can't get it going, they're exploiting him. Man, he taking his proceeds and feeding grown homeless dope fiend. Wow.  How did you guys end up even having any kind of way? I'm picking on him. Yeah, I saw he was... You seen him?  Yeah, and I liked that motherfucker. What, you shout out to him and say, hey, man?    Hey, look at me, nigger.  And then he said something to hurt my feelings. Oh, what did he say? It's a casket five me. No, nigger, it's a casket five all of us. Yeah, we all got to get in the casket. Why is this got to be one for me? Yeah, I got mad and the motherfucker, nigger just want to say it's a casket for me.  Yeah, and I went to picking on him because he hurt my feelings. It's all there, it's your feelings.  I genuinely liked him and he rejected me. Yeah, I don't take rejection good. Yeah, yeah, he don't reject me. I just, I definitely, man, I know already I don't know them guys, but I do know them. But no jumper. I mean, he seemed to have a prospering productive show where he's getting views and he's growing and I've been seeing him for years, man.  Yeah, he seemed like he, I think glad interview with him one time. Well, he a California white boy. They don't know nothing about us niggers. No, not down here. They don't know nothing about southern niggers. That boy said that the one that was on that no phone, he didn't know nothing. The one that the little boy with the yellow hat, he didn't know nothing about no Texas, no nothing. He was playing the role of, hey, man, I don't know nothing.   They don't know nothing but Hollywood.  And it's not a lot of opportunity for them. Wow. Them niggers stuck. The bosses in their decision destroyed them so early in life, homie. Them niggers stuck.   They can't drive trucks for Exxon and go get in them.  Them niggers can play for any type of government entitlement.  Wow. So that's why they look to rob everybody.   It ain't no opportunities from them niggers. That's why it's so much easy to gangbang. Yeah, yeah.  And they do it with pride. That's the coldest thing of body. They do it with pride. They do it with pride. From the old to the young. Yeah, yeah. And it's something they say is structured. It ain't structured. But that's what they try to look to that. The crypts and the bloods are structured and that's how they... No, it ain't structured. That's why they kill Raymond Washington. It ain't structured.  It ain't no structure. Yeah, yeah.  Yeah, I heard about that. His family didn't have nothing to do with Nipsey Husser getting killed but they just wouldn't have killed his family. I heard that. What's... come on, huh? Yeah.  Yeah. When you go up and down in places, they ain't got no legalized dispensary. The Mexicans got all the dispensaries.  They don't have nothing. They can't even get a movie out about Raymond Washington. They ain't got nothing.   Trying to give him good games. I'm dropping game on a nigga because I'm seeing the numbers he doing. What, nobody getting me the game? You just trying to get back, really? So I'm really snot, nigga.  You going on all these big platforms. Come on, homie. You better trademark your name. You got three weeks, so I'm going to take it from you. Was that a serious statement? Yeah, you didn't see me call my people.  And go ahead and make the money off of it. No, I'm just going to take it. Just take it to having and shelf it. Yeah, yeah, and just shelf it. And today say I'm sorry, to you say you want to be my friend. Then you let him come out. I give back to him.  Trademark your name, my nigga. Five, five, crib. Trademark that, nigga. Copy right that. Wow. Copy right that, nigga. I agree with that. 100%. And that's what got them niggas stirred up. I don't know why they love to come down there. They're going to be mad at that, too. But they love to come down and say Charleston white. I've seen it ever since I was stuck in the game. This is why though. This is why. Because of the impact he has. It gotta be. That's the reason why. That's something I could see because of the way that they respond to you. Like I said, your name came up on there. That's why I asked you about it. I don't know the no jumper guy. I always seen this channel and I thought it was very professional. But when I heard what I heard today, I didn't see the professionalism in it. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. No jumper kept his a professional stance. He did.  Yeah.    Why would I expect him not to hate me? He said it's sober. That's what they do in California. He said it's sober. The Hoover's hate the 60s. The 60s hate the gangsters. That's what they do. Wow. Krip Mack got Hoover killer on his forehead. That's what they do. They live amongst each other with hate. They can't walk three streets that way. They can't walk four streets that way.   So Adam ain't wrong.  Because he tried to clean it up. Adam wasn't wrong. Adam say hey well well don't I think it's kind of senseless and crazy that guys is dying over these streets and they said it in a way in white boy language. He said it in pink toe language.  That's what we what do we rap about killing niggers. Yeah. We ain't singing what do a brother do.  So when I see another black man like AD that's why I don't like California niggers. That's why I don't like California niggers.   He said he'd set you up though.  I set him up too with three bad bitches in an alcohol bottle. He said I set him up. I tripped out of that. That was real and it was harsh. Oh man. It was harsh. Yeah. I like to hurt.  Because I know he been watching me. When I know a nigger feel like that he don't watch me more than one time. Yeah. When I tap into you like that nigger you been following me. He in them comments. And you used to like me and I said something to hurt your feelings.  That's why you hate your baby mama because you once used to like her. You don't hate nothing you don't used to like. Real talk. Think about that nigger once used to like me had to be where he's talking. Yeah. He was emotional. Man listen.  Wow. Hey that's Charleston White y'all man. Hey man.

The federal government says it has recruited 40,000 police officers in the past four years. This is not effort to re-energize and improve the personnel of the force to tackle increasing security challenges in the country. President Mohammad Buhari disclosed these in his remarks, while declaring open a two-day retreat for senior police officers in Uyo on Tuesday. Buhari was represented by the Minister of Police Affairs, Dr. Meghari Danyadi. He said the federal government also granted assent to the Nigerian Police Trust Fund Act and carried out an upward review of salaries and allowances of the rank and file.


Hello, my name is Katsusuke Shigeta at Hokkaido University. I'd like to talk about pedagogical approach for digital literacy education utilizing OER. This is the outline. The Center for Education at Hokkaido University collaborated with Adobe KK to develop OER, fostering a critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills required in digital literacy education. In this collaborative research, we developed OER to learn design thinking that underpins essential thinking and creative problem-solving skills for first-year students. Also, we developed a learning program utilizing this OER through production activities that use digital tools, including our bespoke. This is our digital literacy OER. If you have interest in, please go to Adobe Educational Exchange. Improving learning outcomes and effectiveness utilizing OER, a pedagogical approach is essential. In the learning program, we aim to utilize OER based on the blended learning settings and the basic knowledge before the class using the OER and engaging in activities to create their own OER while using knowledge in face-to-face settings. We introduce the cycle of investigative learning to bridge the knowledge and stimulate motivation, orientation, and internalization. In the OER, the learner faces practical difficulties and conflicts, grasps the gap between the learning goal and the digital products they create in the class. In the OER, we adopted a structure in which we touched the quiz with the knowledge of the learning content, learning the tools and usage of thinking in the main part, and finally touched the same task again. In the first year class in 2020 and 2021, we introduced blended learning utilizing the OER. The students are actively involved in the learning by OER and the activities to create their own OER. The feedback from students is positive. From the questionaries for students, they're learning the effective selection and arrangement of images and methods to align the text and pictures by unifying the colors. We found that these competencies relate to the skills of this content creation on this literacy global framework. In this class, we introduced a high-flexed learning that students choose a place to attend lecture, face-to-face, or video lecture, or a recording lecture. Students used OER for preparation learning in asynchronous settings, and they attend high-flexed learning. It is a freshman class, 10 students online and 50 students face-to-face participation. We deliver lecture video via Zoom using iPad for lecture capture. At the same time, we conduct PR review for students created on OER, both online and face-to-face. We separate groups between online and face-to-face, and we sometimes answer questions during group work from face-to-face and from online. Next, I'd like to invite Hiroaki Tanaka to introduce the structure and content of our OER. Thank you. Hello everyone, my name is Hiroaki Tanaka. First, I would like to introduce the open educational resources for cultivating digital literacy. These, by June 1, are being developed through a collaborative research project between Hokkaido University and Adobe KK. Overview, we have been looking at digital literacy as a form of research and also as a study skill. Our aim in developing OERs is to use visual expressions and digital tools in investigative learning and problem solving in order to improve both research skills and study skills. We felt that it would be effective to focus on the creating of things and convey design thinking to runners. For the tamered unit, we have established three modules that match the design process. On the OERs portal site, we help educators and runners understand how to use the resources. In the first module, students learn how to observe, analyze and evaluate certain interactions between users and digital products. In the second module, students learn how to use the design thinking for the purpose of solving problems. Finally, in the third module, students use Adobe software to learn the basics of using digital tools to achieve effective visual communication, mapping OERs and DLGF or ISD. The OERs will continue such effort to provide substantial education in media literacy, as well improve students' performance with default sheets, creativity, critical thinking, communication and collaboration by working them through the creative process involved in digital content creation. An important pedagogical concept is learning by doing. Knowledge can only be acquired by applying it in a real-life situation. Knowledge must be constructed by the individual. The OERs provide the foundation for digital content creation while also supporting key competency areas related to four sheets. We would like to show the mapping with the ISDL standards towards our OERs. These are designing will mainly cover knowledge constructor and innovative designer in the ISD4 students, role and structure of OERs. These materials serve to work on motivation, orientation and internalization in the cycle of investigative learning of Engstrom at all, and to smoothly beat prejudice to externalization, critique and control in such a way that acquired knowledge is utilized. In these OERs, it is assumed that the learner has practical difficulties and conflicts and that grasping the gap between the learning goal and the reality will enhance motivation. We've adopted the structure of tackling a quiz without knowledge of the learning content, learn the tools and uses of thinking in the main part, and finally, tackle the same task again. The structure of OERs is as follows. Key question, orientation basis, internalization, key question, revisited. The key questions that were conducted before and after learning can be deeply investigated using the tools learned in the OERs. By taking the same quiz both before and after learning the material, students can self-reflect on the changes inspired by learning and prepare to start using their knowledge in practice. Untranslated OERs. We have translated these three materials and published them on Natalie Education Next Change Community. You can check the completed OERs Japanese version on the portal website here. Thank you for attention.


Hello there, my beautiful internet friends. Welcome back to my channel. I am very excited to share with you today's topic. I saw this on Facebook of all places this morning and it connected with me in a way that few things have in a long time. I have had discomfort with this general topic for a good long while and I've never known how to really put it into words before and I saw this and I was like, that's it.  So let's talk about how trauma or adversity or anything doesn't actually make us stronger and please stick with me as I explain that. Before we fully dive in, I'm gonna do the YouTuber thing and ask you to like this video if you enjoy it as that helps it get out to more people and also consider subscribing if you enjoy the video at the end of it.  Whatever the situation for that has been, generally I find when I'm facing any kind of adversity, any kind of difficulty, you know, losing my leg or going through trauma, feeling the blank, oftentimes the response is very compassionate, you know, that's really difficult but you're gonna be so much stronger because of it and isn't that a great thing? Isn't that a good thing? I've always been so conflicted on that because I'm like, well, yes, that is a great thing. That is a good thing. I do want to be a stronger person. I don't want to have to have gone through that but I mean, I guess that's true in theory and it's never something that I've been able to fully articulate why I've been uncomfortable with this societal concept of, you know, what doesn't break you is gonna make you stronger because obviously to some extent it's true. We see this over and over and over again. There are countless books about it. There are countless inspirational stories about it and characters written about it. People who don't give up when they go through horrendous things and change the world. People who experience awful things and then use that to do so much good and it's beautiful to see. It's beautiful to see the resilience and persistence of the human spirit but the statement of you're gonna be stronger because of this has never quite sat right with me and it finally connected this morning for me. Why that is? Thanks to a Facebook meme. Little ashamed to say that it's a Facebook meme that finally connected everything for me but you know what? I guess illumination can come from many places. Hey, it wasn't the trauma that made you stronger, kinder and more empathetic. It's how you handled it. That credit is yours. Reading that, I was just like, oh my gosh, that's it. The power of choice I don't think can be understated. When you're talking about trauma or loss or anything that you don't wanna go through, you don't wanna be experiencing anything that's an unpleasant or horrendous thing, 100% of the time we have a choice in how we deal with it long-term and how we respond to it over the course of our lives and what we choose to do with it. If we choose to face it, deal with it, not fill in the blank. A lot of times the assumption is made that simply because you have gone through something, you are a strong person and I don't think that's true. I think oftentimes that is true because like I said, the resilience and the persistent of our little human souls I don't think can be understated either. We find a way to get through so often but not always and also, I think sometimes we attribute strength or overcoming things to those negative things as if it were those things that made us who we are and at least for me personally, I don't feel that way. I feel like anything that I am today is because of how I've chosen to handle things, choices that I've made, people who have been in my life, support that I've had. Speaking specifically about trauma, the trauma that I've experienced involved another person doing something to me, taking something away from me. A pretty severe violation and when I frame that narrative in my head as okay, because of what that guy did to me, I'm a stronger person today, I can't stomach that and that doesn't sit well with me because it's like no, it's not because of what he did, it's because of what I did. It's because I chose to stay alive, it's because I sought help when I needed it, it's because I figured out how to keep getting up every morning when I didn't want to and I figured out a way to get through and also had a small handful of really amazing people in my life to support me through that. It's not because I was hurt that I'm a stronger person a day than I was then, it's because of how I decided to respond to that damage and when we're talking about physical things, like losing limbs, I've heard this very, very often in the amputee community, like if that's a narrative that works for you, if you feel that because something happened, you're stronger and that clicks for you, I think that's amazing, I think that's really cool and use it. But for me, and I'll speak to those of you who also feel like it doesn't quite fit, you guys know this, I've said this before, I never wanted to lose my leg, I never wanted to fall off a horse and shatter my ankle and deal with everything that I have dealt with, but obviously I've had to and so many incredible people have been like, that made you stronger. I think to some extent that they're right, but also you always have the choice to respond one of two ways, to face something or to not face something to deal with it or to run away from it, to fill in the blank, and I have definitely not done that perfectly, let's just make that real clear. But I feel like there is a lot of power in recognizing your own strength from yourself and not from a bad thing that occurred to you or a negative experience or a violation or fill in the blank. I almost feel like it's romanticizing those bad things and giving them too much power because the reality of the situation is that not everyone is a stronger person because of what they've experienced. Not everyone makes those choices or has made them yet. I'm certain that there are many areas of my life and of my mind where I have yet to make choices to get through what I need to get through, but I'm working on it and I'm guessing you are too. This resonated with me so deeply today because I just think that's so true.  The person that you are today and the coolest thing about that is that you're alive watching this today, which means that if you are not okay with who you are, if you're not satisfied with it, if you're not filling the blank, you can always make changes. You still get to make choices no matter where you are and no matter what you're facing, no matter how heavy and dark things are. And I'm not suggesting that's easy or a quick process, but we do get to make daily choices to be who we wanna be and I don't believe, at least for me, that it's the bad things in my life that have built me. I think it's the incredible people around me. I think it's the choices in small moments that I've made not to jump off bridges and not to run towards the darkness that have gradually strengthened me. The choices that I've made to see a counselor when I needed to or journal or fill in the blank instead of more destructive tendencies. I don't know, this really resonated with me and made me very excited to read today because it just all clicked in my head finally and I wanted to share that with you guys in case anyone ever felt the same way. Again, I know that a lot of people really connect with, you know, this made me stronger and I think that that is beautiful too. I think if that's something you feel or you connect with, don't let me say anything negative about that. I'm just saying that for me, that just doesn't connect for the way that I view life and the way that I viewed my life story. So I'm really not saying anything, you know, bad about that. I just wanted to suggest a different way of looking at things in case it might help you as well as it's helped me today. Real quick before I end this video, I am going to be doing a video kind of similar to this one but focusing really specifically on trauma itself on my other channel, Trauma Talk. I'm gonna leave the link down below. So if you wanna check that video out, if specifically trauma is something that interests you when it comes to this topic of like trauma made me stronger, that channel is focused really heavily on mental health and I'm gonna approach this from a slightly different angle there for that audience. If you'd like to be that audience, please join me there. Thanks for listening to me today, guys. I truly appreciate it. Thank you to my patrons, the word is patrons. Thank you to my patrons for making these videos possible. I cannot express my gratitude deeply enough that you choose to support me there. If you're interested in supporting this channel, I would be honored. You can check out the link on screen and also down in the description below if you're interested in learning a little bit more. As I said, thanks for listening, guys. I love you, I'm thinking about you and I will see you in the next video. Bye, guys. Oh, whoa. 🎵 Hand her from the sky 🎵


Hey what's up guys welcome to our trending reviews so I've just received this new gimbal it's the Xion Smooth 4. Now I'm going to give you a quick run through of all of the functionality that this comes with and I'm going to show you some clips of me taking some footage with my Samsung S10 using this gimbal so let's take a look. All right getting into it so it's slightly a different structure from the previous Xion gimbals that you may have noticed. I won't go into more details about the different types of modes that this comes with because it comes in the same mode as any other electronic gimbal that Xion has made in the past although it displays it slightly differently so what I'm going to do is I'm going to run through some of the buttons first and give you an overview of what they do and then we can just run into all of the other features and the video clips. Right so the first thing to notice is the phone compartment here it is in a locked position you can have it locked and tighten it as much as you like there with the little screw there. Now to unlock it you just literally loosen up the lock and then you just pull it out like so so now you can actually place your phone in there and then have it in a position where you're ready to turn on the gimbal so I'll go ahead and do that now. So I've got my phone in there I'm going to power it on by holding down the power button here it should adjust that and put it into the central neutral position so one thing to know about the battery life it does about eight hours of battery so you can get a full day's worth of using the gimbal with your phone and it charges very fast because it does come with a usb-c connection which is awesome there's also a charging port on the actual pan access here at the top it's the usb type b you can connect that directly into your phone and charge your phone directly from the battery inside the gimbal which is a very nice feature to have so running through some of the features so the first button here you have the pf and the l icons there at the bottom so you have a pan follow and locked modes so obviously I won't be explaining anymore about the modes you might be aware of them already but I'll have a brief description in the description below about what all these modes do so you can switch in between each of these and obviously they will lock them and unlock the different axes based on that one thing to note you need to have is the zyplay app so the zine one you open it up and basically you can easily connect with your device using bluetooth okay so I've just connected the device via bluetooth and it's opened up the zyplay camera app so this is what is going to be used to control all of the buttons on the actual gimbal as well so I suggest you use that if you use your stock camera app so for example the samsung one then you won't be able to utilize the camera records the picture button the zoom the flash and all this kind of stuff so none of the buttons would work so you need to be paired via bluetooth with the zyplay app and then you'll be able to utilize everything on the gimbal so I'll leave a link in the description below and where you can download the app on the google play store or the app store so let's go ahead and look at some of these other features here so of course you have the record button when you press that it will start recording video you have the camera button to take pictures and then you have this button here which switches between utilizing the little slider on the left hand side either for the zoom or the autofocus so when I press this it says change to af which is autofocus so let's say for example let's say I have spider-man here so you'll see that it's changing between the different autofocus lengths on that and if I press that button here the crosshatch one changed to wc which is a wide and telephoto so basically that's the zoom levels now I can control the zoom as you can see that with the slider it's zooming into spider-man so that's pretty cool if you're really into taking video then this will be really good for you next you have this slider in the middle so what this does is it basically controls the different things that are listed around it so if I press the right hand side this basically shows you the brightness levels so I can bring the brightness up by sliding that or bring it down if I push the up button it basically goes into these settings and you'll be able to change for example the resolution to 4k at 30 frames or 60 frames per second or you can change different manual modes scenes settings the timers a bit about the camera and all this kind of stuff so that's that and then you go back with the menu button and then on the left side the button basically reverses this to show you the selfie mode so that basically utilizes the front camera on your phone press the button in the middle it turns the flash on and I can see that the flash is there in my hand so if I turn it off you can see the flash is off then you have the display button to show the different ISO settings and the various other camera settings if you want to see them on screen or you press the display button to hide that and see full view of the pictures and then you also have the menu button to manually go in and change any of the settings like you've seen before on the back of the gimbal you also have a couple of buttons here so there's a button at the top and at the bottom these are the different other modes that you get with the gimbal so you have the top one is something called the phone go mode and the bottom one is the fast follow mode so I'll leave a link in the description below where you can actually read up more about these one thing to note as well this doesn't have manual controls of the actual tilt axis pan axis and that kind of stuff so you'll control with your movements of your hands but if you wanted to tilt this in a specific mode then you can do that manually and it's very smooth to do that I just do it tilt it upwards and downwards and it stays in that position and it's quite secure and it doesn't move around so I think it's actually quite better to adjust it manually where sometimes when you're using a joystick to do that then they might just get out of position very easily you might go too far but you won't be able to manually lock in everything you like to do yourself so it comes with this nice little tripod as well that you can just put anywhere or you can take this off if you don't want to but then now you can just have a look and see some really good footage coming from this gimbal and it's very silent as well so you wouldn't hear any noise from the motor or anything like that so that's the rough overview I wanted to give you of the Zion Smooth 4 so let's go and see in how smooth the footage actually is and take a look at some clips that I've taken recently all right guys so that was about it one thing I do like to mention as well that it does come with the battery percentage of the gimbal on the top screen and also of your phone so you can see how much you want to maybe share from the gimbal to your phone or just to see general the information of how much usage time you have left of this so that's really awesome it's very lightweight it's made good material strong plastic here a bit of metal for design logos you have the pretty cool 4 smooth logo just there on the top on the axis if you do want to buy one of these I'll leave a link in the description below on where you can get it for a much cheaper price than amazon so do check them out if you have any questions of anything you'd like me to review with this specifically then do let me know as well otherwise I hope you like that video I hope you subscribe and I will catch you guys at the next one take care


my favorite sale to date. I paid around 25 cents on what I thought was a keychain. Hey, Bolo Buddies. Thanks for watching. All right, you guys. In this video, we are going to do something a little bit different. We're going to talk about Bolo's, but Bolo's with a cool story. So let's get started here. This is what I posted in the Bolo Buddies Facebook group. If you guys want to come on over and share a Bolo, I have up, share your best February Bolo, share your best jewelry Bolo, and share your best plush Bolo. So this is a great way to share a sold link and people can click on that link and maybe even go and check out your store. And also if you have a YouTube channel or you want to shout out your eBay store or whatever platform you're selling on, feel free to shout that out in the comments and I will read it as I do this video. All right, are you ready for this one? Saul Kourtney's video about this plush and we're going to pull this one up and I could not actually pull it up anymore because it was over the 90 days, but I found it on therapy. So she said Saul Kourtney's video about this plush next day found one for sale on Facebook marketplace for $20. Ask them if they would take 15. They said, yes, I couldn't get there fast enough. I was so nervous that they would sell it to someone else. Listed, first for auction, later added a buy it now price, sold 15 minutes after the buy it now to an international buyer for $162.50. My store is Boho Country Grammar. Thanks Kourtney. This is the third Bolo item I've found and sold from watching your videos. Oh, thank you so much. So it is a Build-A-Bear. Is it Duby plush? 18 inch talks with sock house elf Harry Potter 2022. And you can see this one right here only sold for $30. So here's what I'm guessing. I'm guessing either this is a different Build-A-Bear or this person did not do their research because she sold it for $162.50. Let's see if we can find a date. November 6th of 2023, $162.50. September 11th of 2023 for $30. Definitely, definitely, definitely always do your research, especially on Build-A-Bear. I have a couple Build-A-Bear videos that talk about big money Build-A-Bear. So if you type in Bola buddies, Build-A-Bear, it will pull up those listings. This and this and when I forget to separate my words, it becomes this and this one Hudson Valley Community College Diploma Associate in Arts Ephemera, Troy, New York. And this is what it looks like. Went to my first estate sale in November and they had a lot of Ephemera from my local high school in the nearby community college. So I picked it all up, including this diploma, which sold in less than 24 hours. So it's somebody's diploma. Like who buys that? It's so random and it really makes you think, what am I walking past? Now was it a big money Bolo? No, but definitely unexpected. This sold for $12.99 and I believe the buyer paid shipping on that one. So definitely a cool story. This one right here, are you ready? Oh my goodness. This is a Chrome Hearts Rolling Stone 0.18 Carrot Diamond Sterling Silver 2002 on a 20 inch chain. It's the Rolling Stones guys, but wait until you hear the story. Are you ready? I am posting for Mishka923 because she does not have Facebook. She says, I was at a garage sale where you had to dig. I pulled a bunch of things out of purses and I thought I was buying a Rolling Stone Keychain. When I looked up the Chrome Hearts name, I realized I had a solid sterling pendant. And with my gem tester, it was also a diamond. I did my research and found the exact carrot weight, etc. I listed it high and after six months or so, I took an offer of $800. eBay sent it to GIA to be authenticated. I can't say that word. And it passed to get authenticity guarantee. How about that? Somebody like spaced it out for me and I could say it when I saw it spaced out when I read it. But man, I cannot figure that word out. eBay, let's see, my favorite sale to date. I paid around 25 cents on what I thought was a key chain. Thank you so much for letting me participate. I truly appreciate you and love your videos, Mishka. And she is also on what not, you guys. So definitely give her a follow over there as well. And I am Bolo buddies on what not. If you use my referral link down below, you can get $15 to shop on what not. It is a great place to source. But she paid 25 cents for this and sold it for $800. She thought it was a key chain. Do you love it? I love it. All right. Here's the next one. This one is a Lily Pulitzer Mini Elephant Pink Sand Paradise. Look how pretty it is. Found this cute Lily Pulitzer elephant at my local Goodwill for eight and sold it for 60 before fees. So I don't know if it, yep, it is signed. Let's look at the picture here. If I can get it to open up, it's not going to open. It's right here, right here on the tush. And it actually says Lily Pulitzer, it looks like. So I did not know that Lily Pulitzer made plush. So that is a really cool story. Thank you for sharing. And that was sold on Poshmark. Dogtivity, dog Christmas major nativity guardian angel figurine. It is a dog nativity guys. Have you ever seen such a thing? She said, I went to a community club sale and her hubby found this. It ended up having a dogtivity, dog nativity set. She said, I got all nine pieces for 750. I sold the first one for 15 plus shipping. So it looks like she is parting it out. But the interesting thing here is, is that they have dog nativities. Would you have picked it up or walked past it? Let me know in the comments. This one comes from childhood finds and she has a YouTube channel that is fantastic. Definitely follow her and subscribe. This is an antique Roger Smith Meridian CT quadruple plate silver cat kitty figurine. And I just want to show you this. It's about that big. She said, I picked this up at a yard sale for $2 late in the day. It was laying on a concrete, on the concrete scattered with Barbie toys. I recognized the company name and knew it was an antique and rescued it from its certain demise into a trash bin. This piece was actually originally a napkin ring but got broken at some point. Wow, great information. Even being broken, this little guy still sold for $60. We all, we are all more than just resellers. We are rescuers of history. And that is definitely a cool story. Chick-fil-A. I visited my sister in Georgia and we went thrift shopping. I bought so much, I had to check a bag at the airport just for the thrifted items. This one comes from piece of scrap. She is also over on YouTube. Give her a follow. She's got some cool bolos. She said, I purchased four of these Chick-fil-A shirts for $3 each. The first one sold for $36 shipped on eBay and it was shipped back to Georgia. Since then, I've sold another one for $30 and have two left. It's a Chick-fil-A shirt. Would you have walked past it or picked it up? And what did she say? Sold it for $36. All right, you guys. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you for watching.

They want to know everything that you are doing or thinking. They want to identify your patterns. They want to learn as much about you as they possibly can. Narciss are Viristic. They love to watch and observe everything you are doing. There is even a disorder known as Viristic Disorder and I wouldn't be surprised if many of these narcissists have this disorder. Narciss may stalk you as you enter or leave your home. They will identify your patterns. They will identify what time to go to certain places. They will know when you are alone. Narciss will stalk you in the same way that a rapist, murderer or child molester will stalk their target. Rapist, murderers and child molesters are all narcissists. From my personal experience I have noticed that narcissists will peep on you getting dressed or having sex. They also like to observe you during vulnerable moments such as using the toilet or having a shower. I believe that this gives them the narcissists' supply and makes them feel powerful and in control of you. Narciss do not like their targets having their own personal space or privacy. It makes them feel as though they are not in control. It reminds them that the target is a separate human being with their own rights. Narciss want to believe that you are an extension of them or an object. In their minds you exist to serve them. You do not need your own space, you do not need privacy. That's how they think. They enjoy observing people during vulnerable moments or during sexual activities. It gives them a kick as though they are doing something they know they shouldn't be doing. They are emotionally immature like children. It's creepy but this is what they like to do. They like being behind the scenes and watching what you are doing. There's just something about it which makes, which provides them with a rush of excitement. It's like a hunt, a chase. Very predatory like a fox chasing after a rabbit. Narciss operate mainly from the reptilian parts of their brains. So this animal like behaviour comes natural to them. This also understand that they are dependent on the target. Without the target the Narciss cannot feel powerful or in control of them. They need to have a target to be in control of. It's like they are slaves to their Narciss' supply. So there will be a lot of frustration and resentment towards the target. Just like a teenager might resent their parents while also being dependent on them. Narciss like the Narciss' supply. It gives them a short boost of excitement but it never sustains them. It doesn't last long. So it becomes an endless pursuit day after day where they become slaves to their targets. Relying on them, depending on them. Unable to live without them. And this isn't something they just do occasionally. It is an obsession, an addiction. So they will often have targets where they are watching 24 hours a day. The target's life is their life.  The target's years are their years. The target's nose is their nose. This is where we get into what I like to call the observer mode. The observer mode is where the Narciss will mentally put themselves in your body. Imagine what you are seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling or feeling in that moment. They imagine what sensations you are currently experiencing. They will then refer to what you are seeing, hearing, tasting, smelling or feeling in a subtle covert way. This causes you to reflect on that sensation and it creates an involuntary connection between you and them. This is done without your will or conscious control. The Narciss will follow your eyes and watch exactly what you are seeing through your eyes. Whether it's a person or object, whatever is in front of you that you are looking at with your eyes, they will be observing you watching this and they will continue observing your eyes as you look around at other people or objects. They will then make references to this person or object, something that will make you instantly identify them by what the Narciss is saying to you. This is covert behaviour, so the Narciss will not overtly say that you are looking at a person or a chair. They might refer to the colour of the chair, a characteristic of the person or anything else. There really is no limit to the references they could make. This isn't limited to people or objects, it could be anything. The Narciss can also adapt this observer mode to any sounds you hear, anything you smell, any foods or drinks you taste and anything you feel with your hands or bodies. This is some of the most obsessive and extreme behaviour you will ever experience. I have never heard anyone else discuss this kind of covert behaviour before on YouTube or anywhere else, but I already know from the comments on a previous video where I briefly discussed this that other people have experienced it, their eyes will be glued to your eyes, watching whatever you are looking at, I think it starts off with them being jealous of you looking at another person but then it gets out of control. Over time as they continue to practise this behaviour, they don't want you to look at anything, they start getting obsessed with what you are seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting or feeling. They want to understand how this sensation is being interpreted or processed internally. I have noticed that even when I wear shades, if I turn around suddenly I will often see a gangstalker behind me trying to look behind my lenses at my eyes, they have to know what you are experiencing in any moment and this applies to all of your senses.  I personally believe that there are a small number of narcissists that can read your mind, the problem is we absorb the thought of our environments, so just because we have a thought in our minds or we are thinking something, it doesn't mean that thought belongs to us. Of course, narcissists who do have the ability to read minds will apply this thought to you, an example is that the narcissist may claim that you are attracted to a person standing in front of you and that you are thinking of cheating on them. Due to the stressful and high pressure environment you are in with a narcissist, you are going to be unable to think, unable to control your mind, so you will be more susceptible to absorbing the narcissist's functional thoughts. You may not like the thoughts that are appearing in your mind, so you try to fight them. But while you resist, persist, so you continue to get more of those thoughts and may even create more on your own without absorbing any more thoughts from the narcissist. If this narcissist has the ability to read your mind, they will then pick up on this and assume that you are thinking of cheating on them. When really, you had absorbed what the narcissist was thinking about you and your resistance to these thoughts then caused them to persist and take control of your mind. From this point, if you do not have the awareness of this, you may then define yourself by the thoughts which you had originally absorbed from the narcissist. You may identify yourself with these thoughts. These thoughts may then influence your emotions, actions and behaviors. Now it has become a self-fulfilling prophecy and the narcissist believes that they were right all along.  Due to the stressful environment, especially if you are experiencing abuse, manipulation or reality distortion, you will have difficulty controlling your own mind. Narcissists do not want you to control your own mind. They want to be in control of that. This is why they are always trying to get you to react to them but narcissists don't seem to understand that if you are always reacting to them, your thoughts are influenced by them too. You are going to be unable to generate your own authentic thoughts because you are constantly reacting to them. Of course, narcissists are emotionally immature and do not accept responsibility or accountability for anything that they do. So if you try to hold them accountable for anything, they will deny, project, blame shift and gas like you. I hope that I have explained the observer mode well in this video. Thank you for watching, please like, comment, share and subscribe. Talk to you soon.


Lethality is the skills you use to close with and destroy the enemy, and being here has just put in that definition into context.  Osset? So Osset is a one station unit training. It's where soldiers go instead of basic training and then moving into their AIT, it's just one station, they go from basic. All the way through their AIT to graduation of turning blue with the same drill sergeant the entire time. A lot of repetitions, a lot of sets, because we're doing more than just training, these guys are actually trying to get them to a level of proficiency. It helps the soldier, you build more of a rapport with that soldier instead of being there for nine weeks and then they leave and then go into another unit and then having to build another rapport with them. You've already built it, you've already made them a soldier, in other words, and now you're turning them into actual infantrymen. Hey, you, in there, hey, hey, get over here, get closer to me, do it, you're already here, you already engaged the target, right? The need to be quiet is gone, it's gone. So violence of action, right? That's the only thing I have with you guys, and Bravo team, you need to, you need to get some more training. Well, I chose to be in 11 Bravo so I could get to where the fighting is, get to where we're needed most and help the people that are there. One of the things I experienced back in school is every year you transition teachers in there, for the first few months they're trying to figure out what you know. Here they teach you from ground zero until you're finished. That way we're a lot more confident in our ability, we're able to execute it quickly with a lot less issues, a lot less problems, and they're not going to waste time reteaching you lessons. You can never be too trained in a job that can take your life. I've improved in many ways physically and mentally, able to push past my barriers and well past what I thought was my physical limits. It's funny seeing how everybody changes when they get that leadership patch put on them, they kind of quit joking around like they used to and get a little bit more serious. As close as you can without them being able to see your progress again, but see it like a foot off of the wall. It would kind of give them a jump and give them a boost of confidence. But you're also watching them. I feel like it's at a slower pace where they can take more time. Number one man is going to tap back. And we did it over and over and over again because we have the time to do that. This point, room is secure, four man turns around, full security on the doorway, yes? This training has probably set me up for success. I feel confident in a lot of the battle drills, attack and individual soldier discipline. When you're at your last ounce of strength or energy or you're not mentally there and you think you can't take any more of it, then you look left and right and see your buddies and so you just got to buck up and take it. Before I came here it was enduring extended hardships and digging into yourself to really find your motivation to keep going regardless of pain or suffering you're experiencing in the moment knowing that there is a goal that you're striving to. Your people, you put them before you. If they aren't as experienced as you, they're going to have a leader guiding them through this who already knows what they're doing. And then they can get themselves through because they have the experience. We're the front line guys, we got to be the hardest. You put them through the ringer, the light's waiting tears as what makes an infantryman.
