Through the mystic eye, eminent personalities, from various walks of life, in conversation with Sadguru. This week features Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan, renowned political activist. Known for his outstanding commitment to clean politics and citizen-centered governance, Mr. Narayan is a former Indian administrative service officer and is the current founder of the Lok Sattha movement. The current MLA of Kukadpalli, he describes himself as a physician by training, a civil servant by choice, and a Democrat by conviction. In this episode together, Jayaprakash Narayan and Sadguru examine the very roots of the nation and what it will take to move it forward. Sadguru, it's a great opportunity and honor for me to interact with you. In many ways, there can't be a greater contrast between two individuals. At least in appearance we are. You, from a very obeying and very sophisticated background, I grew up in a village in Telugu media and you were in the spiritual realm. And I am anything but spiritual, I am in the completely temporal realm. I built all my life around the principles of rationality and logic. When you were a person of religion, you were given certain edicts, what is good, what is bad, the 10 commandments, the do's and the don'ts. But in ordinary life, for most people, particularly in the public domain, to distinguish between good and bad seems to be increasingly difficult. I've always held that there are two realms, the individual, individual gain, and the second is the public good. If one is clashing with the other, if my personal gain is clashing with the public good, then that is something bad. If both are in harmony, then that is something good. It seems to me to be a workable definition of what is good and bad for ordinary interaction between the citizen or individual and the community and the society. What are your thoughts on that? See, once you start a debate as to what is good and what is bad, this debate can go on forever without coming to a conclusion. Obviously you have debated this within yourself and around yourself for many years and still there's no conclusion. And believe me, people have been debating this for thousands of years and still there is no conclusion. Essentially it boils down to this, what I do is good, what you do is bad. That extends to the society, to politics, to various things. Whoever is in a position of power, who is in a position of dominance, they may not spell it out so crudely, but in so many ways they're telling you what I do is right, what you do is wrong. So ultimately it becomes about whoever is in a state of advantage is right. Whoever is in a state of disadvantage is wrong. Well, that principle is the basis of all exploitation and all the ugliness that you see on the planet. So instead of starting a debate on what is good and what is bad, I think what we need is what is appropriate and what is inappropriate to our times, to our society, to our existence here, to our level of economics, what is right and what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. Tomorrow if our conditions change, their appropriateness changes. Then there will be no clashes. Constantly the clash between the previous generation and this generation between one human being and the other human being is your ideas of right and his ideas of right are so different. Parents and children are fighting, administration and people are fighting, management and union is fighting, simply because your ideas of good and bad are very different and it's always different. Within the family between the husband and the wife, basic unit of the family, their ideas of right and wrong are very different. So once you enter that space, you are entering into an endless controversy, no possibility of a solution. But if you look at appropriateness of action, then we can arrive at what is the appropriate thing to do in our society, for our conditions, for our limitations. Sadhguru, that brings me to the question of ensuring that the moral conduct is actually upheld. While spiritual gurus, religion itself and societal norms have value, they don't seem to be sufficient. Only in India whenever we talk about corruption or some other misconduct in public life or in private life, we talk of morality and values instead of talking about institutions. As far as I am concerned, there is no corruption in India. Where is corruption in India? There is only banditry. I don't see any corruption.  This is corruption.  This is not corruption. It's just plan. So when we talk of all these evils in public domain, oftentimes we talk of values in this country rather than enforcing a certain code of conduct. Unless the laws of the land, unless the enforcement mechanism is strong enough to enforce a certain code of conduct and prove that there is punishment for bad behavior and reward for good behavior, I am afraid values in themselves will not for long sustain us. Not at all. Now this is something that we need to get from you because over emphasis on values at the cost of institutions, sometimes may actually become an excuse for doing nothing to build institutions. What institutional mechanisms we need to build in your estimate to build higher levels of public integrity, higher levels of civic conduct? See, one important thing that India needs to do is to simplify the laws in a way that everybody understands it. Right now it's so, so complex and so ambiguous. Nobody really knows what it is. And because it's there is so much ambiguity, it creates so much gray areas, which breeds corruption endlessly. If there is no ambiguity, somebody just couldn't come and ask money out of me to do some work, isn't it? There is so much ambiguity. These laws were largely created by the English because they wanted ambiguity so that they could interpret it whichever way they want. If they want to pick you up tomorrow morning, they want to pick you up and there's a good enough reason. We have still kept the same laws and even today it is true, the law can just come and pick you or me up now. And I don't know what I have done, but you can pick you up and they can produce something, number, whatever, criminal procedure code, some damn number that I'm not aware of and they can say you did this. Because it's such an ambiguous law, this is good to control foreign nations if you occupy them, not for our nation to move ahead. Too much ambiguity. You can see million examples like this in the country where laws are unnecessarily complicated and ambiguous, which is essentially breeding ground for corruption. Sadguru, I hear you saying that, A, the cultural ambience in which you live, that matters about the appropriateness. And B, it changes from time to time, generation to generation. In other words, people sometimes confuse taboos with morals, the changing fashions and attitudes with morals. But unless we have some kind of a yardstick which is measurable and somewhat universal in guiding our behavior and dealing with the society at large or perhaps even in nature, how are we going to give people a yardstick other than religious headaches? That is the challenge for many agnosts because we can't go by the Ten Commandments merely because God gave us those. We can't go by the Gita because Lord Vishnu told us so. We need a temporal yardstick. We need an institutional mechanism to be able to measure and say this is right, this is wrong, a talisman. So, trying to fix the human societies with morality will only bring more and more deception. And above all, it kills life in so many different ways. Why are we trying to fix life with morality?  There is something called as humanity within us. If you stir up this dimension which we call as humanity, when somebody is feeling very human, he doesn't need morality. He will be fine the way he is.  So instead of a human identity, he takes on a different identity. Now you can do most horrible things with great pride. Yes, you can kill thousands, not one. You can kill thousands and feel really good about it. I did it. Because I did it for the nation, I did it for my religion, I did it for my caste, creed, whatever else. So your identity is shifting from your fundamental identity to make-believe identities. It may serve limited purpose.  It is not some divine dictum that this is a nation like this. We are the people who drew the lines, isn't it? Now we believe that's how it is. For certain functional realities we draw lines, but that is not the reality. So a human being should essentially be identified as a human being, not by his religion, not by his race, not by his caste, creed, nationality. No, if he sits here as a human being, you don't… you will see he does not need morality. He will be fine. And that's what is needed in the society to stir up humanity, not morality. I think that's a… that's a terrific message, Sadguru. Essentially what you are advocating is that go beyond the individual, go beyond the sect and the creed and embrace humanity itself. And you will not go wrong in your actions, Sadguru. I am not saying embrace humanity. I am saying you are human, isn't it? I don't have to teach you to be human. You are human. The problem is somebody else has taught you that you are something else.  But the reality is you are human. If you travel hundred kilometers in India, people look different. They dress differently. They speak differently. Different languages. Our food is different. Everything is different. But still for over ten thousand years, the whole world has referred to us as one nation. Though we were over two hundred political entities at some time, still, you know, we've been doing trade with Syria, Jerusalem, Damascus, Jerusalem, Greece, all these places for over eight thousand, ten thousand years. Even at those times, they refer to this country as Hindustan. Though there were two hundred entities, it was referred to as one nation as Bharatvarsh or Hindustan or whatever the name. Because somewhere people saw this as one nation, though it was ruled by many kings, because there was one ethos, which is something that the politicians and administrators and the people have never paid attention to. The only thing which keeps us as one nation is a certain fundamental spiritual ethos, which is not on the surface but which is always there. In the sense, people recognize this as one nation from outside because they all believed in something. This nation has never been a nation of believers. We have been a nation of seekers because spiritual process has been the main thing. Here people are not believing in God. They are seeking mukti or liberation or freedom. There is a difference between a seeker and a believer. A believer means he's made a conclusion. A seeker means he's wide open. He's realized that he does not know. That's why he's seeking. This one quality set us apart from the rest of the world. So outside world recognized as one nation, though there were so many political entities, we need to understand even today, it is only this spiritual thread which is keeping this as one nation. If you... right now it's being systematically hacked at. If you break this one thing, after twenty-five, thirty years, you will wonder why are we one nation and we will break. If you do not strengthen the fundamental spiritual ethos of this nation, if you hack it down with beliefs and other kinds of identities, you will see you will break up into various nations, you will not be one nation. Sadguru, I hear you clearly and I entirely agree with you that unless unity and order are kept even above liberty if necessary, there is a clash. We are in danger. This is the reality of existence. If you sit here as a piece of life, you instantly know that there is nothing in the existence with which you are not connected.   When I said that we need to plant one hundred and fourteen million trees to get Tamil Nadu to thirty-three percent green cava, people said, Sadguru, do you know what is one hundred and fourteen million? Is it possible for any human being to plant this many? See, I told them the population of Tamil Nadu is sixty-two million people. If all of us plant one tree, take care of it for two years and plant one more tree, what is the number? You got it. Now the problem is that they must feel for it. How do you do it? I told them, you don't worry. I went out village to village called farmers' associations together. I told them one simple thing, just sit here. Where do you want to sit? In the sun or under the tree? Choose. You know what's the choice. Everybody sits under the tree. I said, see, are you breathing? Yes. I want you to understand what you exhale, the tree is inhaling.  Just sit here and feel it, it's happening. One half of your lungs is hanging out there. It just caught like a fire. We have not planted one and fourteen million trees, but seventeen million trees. And Tamil Nadu's green cover has officially gone up by seven point two percent. And we didn't give up our lives to do this. This is just one of the small things we do. Just that if everybody gets involved in such a small job, isn't it? Why are they not getting involved? Because they are identified with something.  Nobody had to tell them. They would have anyway done it by themselves. So it is because of these wrong identifications that we are doing all these crazy things and you're trying to fix it with morality, it's not going to work. It's not worked for these thousands of years, isn't it?


A mixed group of young professionals in the Brainerd Lakes area called Lakes Ignite has continued to grow since its establishment in 2015. Just in time to start the new year, the group has decided to renovate their vision for the group. Logan Gay has more. According to the Brainerd Lakes Area Economic Development Corporation, Crowing County is home to over 14,000 people aged 25 to 44. Although they live in a rural community, many of those people are looking for a stimulating lifestyle. What young people are looking for is a lot with what has to do with down in the metro and the metro areas, what they have. We don't have a lot of that up here. Since its creation in 2015, Lakes Ignite has attracted over 70 young professionals from all over the region. When they meet the young professionals, share connections and ideas about the direction of the Brainerd Lakes region. The Brainerd City is looking at the riverfront. I know that's moving forward and they're looking at other opportunities to grow downtown Brainerd to make it a hub of where you want to go and not just a bypass area. As they continue to grow, so has their vision. Our new vision is to inspire younger generations to engage in the Brainerd Lakes Area community and ignite meaningful connections through shared experiences and opportunities. And Lakes Ignite is hoping that the connections and the friendships that are made through the organization will help other young professionals decide to keep their talents and their resources here. We want them to have longevity within the Brainerd Lakes Area and like you said, find friends and find people that you connect with and you have a similar bond with so you can continue that relationship on and don't leave the area. Lakes Ignite will be launching a new website in January in Brainerd, Locangay, Lakeland News.  They'll be raising money for the heart animal rescue.

Hi, good morning and welcome to today's products and focus and we have a very interesting kind of formulation of all the different markets all kind of coming together right now Whereas yesterday we actually saw gold prices spiked that much higher Usually indicative of fear in the market and then you have kind of equity markets is slowly just kind of grinding higher They've had a great last couple of days But yesterday they pretty much kind of flatlined and there's a few things that are kind of bouncing around right now Some common themes that you guys want to be aware of obviously every's are all still talking about oil and There's been more updates from the Saudi Finance Minister They said that okay there is a product to talk about a production freeze But in no circumstances will there be a production cut obviously they still have to raise money to pay for wars and Their big benefit system in their country everything else at that so that's not going to happen So oil prices kind of pretty much flatline now Also, there's news that in the US all the storage capacity that they have apparently it's at 97.5% Now there's a big problem that if that goes to a hundred percent Crew prices could be very very heavily pressured because there's no more storage Massive massive oil glut so that could obviously add extra pain to To that to that market and West Texas crew is trading about $30 right now George Soros has pretty much come out as well and talked a lot about the refugee crisis and he is Kind of come out and recommended that the Eurozone utilize its triply rated Eurobunds to help finance and pay for What he says is an existential crisis in the Eurozone and it kind of is you know, everything's kind of fragmenting right now There is a major major problem with this and they need money to deal with the problem And there's lots of big question marks about that. There's also Kind of a lot of analysts are talking about the potential for a British exit from the Eurozone as well So David Cameron has been in Brussels and he just came out of like a very very long meeting where I don't think he left about 5 30 in the morning and to talk about what he can go to the British public with as concessions for their for them to remain within the European Union because we might be having a referendum In the not too distant future and there's big question marks about you know, how British voters will go So if you have a look at the euro Sterling exchange rate could be very volatile times ahead So hopefully that gives you a good idea of the fundamentals But as ever I'm a technical analyst So let's look at things from a technical perspective where things are getting very very interesting And you want to keep your eye on gold relative to the equity markets as well. So let's go ahead and have a look So this is US 30 as you can see there a complete failure to really do anything of any significance And we're still at this level so far today 76% of CMC markets clients are currently short. The other technicals are relatively neutral still potentially a double bottom right here If we could just break and close above 16 for 60 with any conviction We could then look to re-challenge the 55 period SMA and then look at move towards 17,000 But that's a bit of an ask at the moment moving on to the UK 100 and had had a fantastic run I had broken above this potential trending Support level a resistance level. Sorry. So what I'm gonna read I'm just gonna slightly redraw that to the tip of that cat. So I'm gonna redraw it to there Okay, that's probably where we are if I complete you on it. So we still need to get above 60 70 We're a little bit away from there just now with the wrong side of that 55 period SMA 71% of CMC markets clients are currently short Moving on to the Japan 225. You can see that resistance level has remained and play 16384 potentially a strategic level 57% of CMC markets clients are currently short We have been lower this morning. It's ticked slightly up But to be honest, it's not really that exciting until we get a little bit closer to that level and that looks to be short-term strategic Moving on to dollar yen moving slightly lower off the session lows 111 spot 61 could be the next potential support Again, you saw the spike. Well, you haven't seen it yet But we look at golden the minute it spiked higher Japanese yen as a safe haven spiking higher You can't really have the yen and gold spike higher and have equity markets move higher at the same time normally the go their opposite directions because one is a Hedge against fear another one obviously is when things are going fantastic Moving on to West Texas crude you can see that that slight reversal. Oh, but we did have a very very strong day After the the Saudis and everything else and the rats as we ran was potentially coming to the table That's not followed through with it with any new news. So we've seen a little bit of a reduction We're still on the right side of that 21 period SMA though. So keep an eye on that level CMC clients are almost 50-50 Looking at gold now We can just see that massive spike higher that we had yesterday that came late on in the session Even a bit of a reversal so far this morning got a high lower high lower high lower high Again, 1191 could be where a lot of battles are fought depending if you're bullish or bearish and gold Long-term potential resistance all the way up at 1300 but again if gold is spiking higher That's that just means equity markets and interest rates in the US are pretty much a smash So that's something to consider. We do look to be getting a bearish cross on that as slow stochastic to watch out for Very close to negative crossover in the MacD you can see the histograms really come off and obviously we're already on the wrong side of that RSI level so from a technical perspective it is looking The pressure is building but obviously there's fundamentals to be aware of So looking at your dollar your dollar is at a very important level one spot 11-05 It's been lower finished on the level still there right now 75% of CMC markets clients are currently short. So one spot 11-05 Looks to be an interesting level for traders out there and finishing up with GBP USD We try to have a rally there yesterday one spot 43-52 is a potential resistance GBP USD just not that that exciting at the moment So let's have a quick look at the market calendar as ever And today we've got UK retail sales CPI from the US and the Eurozone CCI and we mentioned That on Monday, we've got PMI from Germany and the Eurozone and on Tuesday Germany GDP US Consumer confidence survey and existing home sales to start off the week. Well guys, very good luck with your trading and Join me again on Monday to find out what happened next. Thank you very much and goodbye


What are the best distributions that are based on Ubuntu? That's what I'm gonna discuss today I'm gonna give you my top five Ubuntu based distributions and when I say Ubuntu based distributions I mean I'm going to discount Ubuntu mainline Ubuntu and all of the official flavors of Ubuntu because they're also part of the Ubuntu family The Ubuntu team works on you know Kubuntu, Zubuntu, Lubuntu, Ubuntu, Monte I'm throwing all of those out and we're going with Ubuntu based distributions that are actually built by teams other than The Ubuntu team or than the folks that work for canonical and I'm gonna share with you these Distributions that I have a lot of experience with because I install Linux on a lot of machines And I'm talking about friends machines family members machines people bring me their Windows laptops And I give them Linux so these are brand new to Linux users, and I have probably installed Linux hundreds of times on various people's equipment and one of the cool things that I have found is I've experimented with a lot of different distributions depending on the person That's giving me their computer to put Linux on it You know and I found that some Linux distributions are better than others as far as for that kind of brand new to Linux user So today I'm gonna share with you my top five Ubuntu based Linux distributions, especially for the new to Linux user Coming in at number five on my list of top five Ubuntu based distributions is Zoran OS now Zoran OS is a very Attractive distribution. It's very reminiscent of the Windows desktop because it has a classic bottom panel with a start menu Yeah, the Zoran logo here clearly tells a new user exactly where the menu system is it has quick launchers It has a sys tray in the panel So any Windows user is going to feel right at home in Zoran OS now the desktop environment that they're using is this really Hybrid custom desktop environment that they've built on top of GNOME It's also got some XFCE components, but it's a very unique and a very polished desktop environment As a matter of fact, I would say it's one of the most unique desktops available on Linux And of course if you want to change the layout of the desktop environment if you don't like the bottom panel There are other layouts available if I get into the menu system I search for appearance go to Zoran appearance and that's going to open this layout menu here Where we can actually change the appearance of the desktop layout now depending on what version of Zoran OS you're running You're gonna have maybe two layouts maybe four layouts available to you I am using Zoran Lite here, which is a free version of Zoran OS But Zoran also has a pro version and the pro version costs $39 And with the $39 pro version you do get some more layouts. You also get more artwork It comes with some additional software pre-installed for you. It also includes installation support If you have problems installing Zoran OS So that's a really nice feature especially for the new to Linux user Maybe you've never installed a Linux distribution before, you know paying Zoran OS $39 well, of course It's a good thing to do because it helps fund the development of Zoran OS But it's also nice to have that support should you need it now one really interesting aspect to Zoran OS It's the fact that it really does cater to Windows users if I get into the menu system I search for Windows app support and let me hit enter and then it's going to open our Software center essentially our app store where we go and install new software and you can see it's going to install Windows app support What this is is this installs wine and play on Linux for those of you not familiar with what wine is It's kind of a Windows emulator is technically not an emulator But it allows you to run Windows software inside Linux now not everything runs inside of wine But a lot of windows programs actually run quite well inside this wine compatibility layer Overall, I found Zoran OS to be great installing on new Linux users machines because at the end of the day What is the most important thing the most important thing is that everything just works and that's kind of what Zoran OS Yes, it's a distribution where you install it and everything typically just works Number four on my list of top five Ubuntu based distributions is the Linux slide I've installed Linux light many times on friends and family computers And I've never had anyone that had an issue with this distribution Especially for the new to the Linux user. You're coming from Windows I mean you can tell that they really put a lot of thought and effort Especially for Windows users because look at this panel look at this start menu I mean you have instead of just a logo the feather logo for Linux slide You have the word menu written out to the side of it So there's no way a user is gonna be confused and where exactly is the menu system, right?  It has a excellent welcome screen When you first install Linux light the welcome screen Automatically launches on startup every time you log in now You can disable it to where it doesn't automatically show up every time you log in but you can always find the welcome screen And the menu system just search for the word welcome one of the things I really have to give Linux light credit for is it probably is one of the best-looking if not the best-looking Xfce desktop environment I've ever seen and many of you guys are probably gonna be surprised that this is Xfce because it is such an Attractive desktop. I mean this menu system and the panel and everything if I didn't tell you that this was Xfce You might think this is a much more Modern forward-looking desktop environment such as Ganon or plasma some other things that really make Linux light stand out Is because it uses Xfce. It is very lightweight. It's very fast So it's really good on pretty much any modern piece of hardware and by modern I mean anything that was built within the last ten years for sure The Linux light is gonna run like a champ on it also has a really nice suite of applications and by nice suite of applications I mean it has a lot of stuff pre-installed So this is nice especially for the new user who doesn't know all of the software that's available out there in the Linux space So, you know, you're gonna get a full suite of applications installed here in Linux light Ultimately the reason Linux light makes my list here of the best Ubuntu based distributions is because Linux light I think is maybe the best distribution out there that dispels the myth that Linux has to be hard Linux doesn't have to be hard. Linux can be made to be easy made to be simple And I think this is a shining example of that Number three on my list of top five Ubuntu based distributions is elementary OS Elementary OS is really unique because it has a modern fresh look. It's very simple to use It has a somewhat Mac OS look and feel to it Which is a little different than things like Zoran and Linux light which really tried to cater to Windows users Elementary OS, I won't say it's necessarily trying to cater to Mac users But it certainly has that Mac look and feel with the top panel the top menu system the bottom centered dock I know the elementary OS devs don't like it when people say that their desktop looks like the Mac OS desktop But I think that's a positive. I don't think that's a negative I think it's good that we have so many Linux distributions so many desktop environments available that catered to different users and What really makes elementary kind of Mac like isn't necessarily just the look and feel of the desktop environment But elementary has its own custom suite of applications So you can think of it kind of almost like the the Mac OS experience and that everything is its own Apple ecosystem, right everything is tightly integrated and to be honest that tight integration is rather nice because everything Really looks good as far as the theming and really it's one of the most clean and polished Linux distributions out there What we're taking a look at here is the elementary OS file manager here And when I say they have their own custom suite of applications I mean their custom suite of applications many of these applications are actually quite impressive. These are not just Half-assed thrown together kind of programs that somebody erode in a few days or a few weeks, right? A lot of effort has gone into these applications and to make everything work as a cohesive environment again This is really an impressive project some of the standout applications include the app center So the app center's gonna check for update, but I'm not gonna take an update if I click the home tab You can see the home page of the app center as your apps are broken down by category Can I make it full-screen there so you can see all the categories and of course you can click on the categories? Or you can do a search here in the search box Ultimately the reason elementary OS is so high on my list here at number three It's because elementary OS created their own desktop environment from the ground up their own suite of applications It's basically so much work went into this. It really is truly impressive What elementary OS has accomplished here? And number two on my list of top five Ubuntu based distributions is pop OS Pop OS is built by the good folks over at system 76 system 76 They sell computers desktop computers and laptops with Linux pre-installed and Many years ago what they were doing is they were shipping computers pre-installed with Ubuntu Eventually they built their own Ubuntu based distribution called pop OS And they have this really unique and customized desktop environment that's built around Genome Some of the standout features with pop OS is you have some exceptional Driver support hardware support being that pop OS built by a hardware manufacturer system 76 Mainly to support their products their laptops for example But really you know if for those of you that maybe have problems with Graphics drivers such as Nvidia drivers or maybe you're want some good support for a hybrid graphics system Pop OS is excellent in that regard now this desktop environment that they're using here again It's built on Genome, but they're actually working on their own Custom built desktop environment that they're writing in rust, but right now they're basing off Genome This run launcher is really nice, right? We have a menu system here. That's rather unique So they have some custom Extensions and tweaks to Genome that I find actually really nice I think the brand new to Linux user is going to find this desktop environment very easy to use because you have the bottom Dock everything is in the dock for those that want more advanced features You do have the ability to turn on tiling windows So what this does is it turns on the ability to auto tile windows for is it makes your Cosmic desktop here essentially almost into a tiling window manager It's not quite a tiling window manager, but it does some tiling stuff. Now. What about software? Well being based on a boon to all of these distributions are gonna have a really good choice of software available for you in their software Centers one of the cool things about pop o s their software center here called the pop shop is Anything that's available as in a boon to package you'll find in the pop shop also anything that's available as a flat pack It's also available in the pop shop So flat pack already enabled by default and I think that is a really nice touch that most desktop linux users are gonna appreciate One last thing I want to mention is security and privacy one of the cool things about the pop o s installation process is that By default it encrypts your drive. You don't have to choose it by default It's going to encrypt your installation and I think that is a really nice touch and to be honest I think probably most linux distributions probably need to start pushing encryption as the default setting Ultimately the reason pop o s makes number two on my list is because of just how well put together how polished you can tell that This is a professionally made product by a real team of developers and partly because there's a company behind it system 76 you can tell this is not Joe Bob's linux distribution, right? Oh a lot of effort a lot of time a lot of money went into building this and it shows and Number one on my list of top a boon to base distributions is probably not a shop to most people Linux Mint Linux Mint has been around forever. I want to say Linux Mint got started Oh, just a couple of years after a boon to got started like three or four years after a boon to got started Linux Mint burst on the scenes and a lot of people moved from a boon to the Linux Mint back then because Linux Mint really made a boon to Easier and by easier. I mean back in those early days a boon to didn't ship Multimedia codecs out of the box and you know, there were some hoops to jump through getting certain drivers installed and Linux Mint made a Lot of this stuff much easier that they installed a lot of this stuff mainly that Canonical the makers behind a boon to couldn't because of legal issues being a corporate back distribution They didn't want to take any chances by installing for example those multimedia codecs. Well, Linux Mint being a community and distribution They just didn't care right they installed the multimedia codecs and a lot of people installed Linux Mint mainly just for that Yeah, and that was what Linux Mint began in the early days now as the years progressed Linux Mint Their mission became much much more because now they have their own desktop environment that they create Called the Cinnamon desktop environment. Linux Mint has three different desktop editions They have a cinnamon edition a mate edition and an XFCE edition and one of the great things about those three desktop environments is They look very very similar all of them doesn't matter which one you use you're gonna have the bottom panel and the start menu They're gonna have the same look and feel essentially the same suite of applications mostly GTK based applications, right? So you're gonna have a really consistent UI experience regardless of whether you use cinnamon XFCE or Mate here in Linux Mint. So why has Linux Mint been such a popular desktop distribution? Well, I think one of the big claims to fame with it is the fact that you have this Windows-like experience, right? It's one of those things especially and with some of our Linux desktop environments such as the early versions of GNOME 3 or KDE 4 that they were buggy. They were kind of weird They they looked a little different than the old-school Windows desktop Which most people are used to most Linux users came from Windows. So I want a bottom panel with a start menu I want traditional looking programs with you know, the Maximize button the minimize button and all that stuff being on the right-hand side of my windows Not the left-hand side like the whole back, you know People that use Windows are comfortable in Linux Mint and I think that's why this is such a popular distribution I've already mentioned driver support multimedia support. All of that stuff is going to get installed during the installation process If for some reason you need to install some of this stuff after the installation process I mean I could go search for drivers and there is the driver manager if I I'd have to give it my Sudo password But it's gonna look for our proprietary drivers if we need it for our graphics or for Wi-Fi if I was on a laptop Now I'm in a virtual machine here So I'm gonna close that because it's not going to find any drivers for this VM another real plus to Linux Mint is their Community when you talk to people about Friendly Linux communities because every Linux distribution has a community built around it It seems like most people agree that the Linux Mint community is one of the friendliest and most welcoming Communities out there in Linux and again, I think that really makes it perfect for the brand new to Linux user So there you have it my top five Ubuntu based distributions here in 2022 now most people when they give you a top five list They're usually gonna throw out at least one extra one bonus, you know an honorable mention I think I should do that too because honestly there isn't a boom to base distribution I think is woefully Underestimated undervalued you don't hear many people talk about it at all And I want to give an honorable mention to Bodie Linux Bodie Linux has its own Customized desktop environment called the Moksha desktop environment, which is based on the old Enlightenment Desktop environment just very briefly the reason I want to give an honorable mention to Bodie is because it's elegant It's lightweight. It's very minimal. It's perfect for the minimalist If you're a window manager only kind of user You're gonna love this Moksha desktop environment because it's a full desktop environment So, you know, you get everything Prebuilt that you're going to need to have a proper desktop experience But again, it's very small fast lightweight and honestly, it's very customizable. It's very modular But even out of the box the default desktop experience that we're looking at right now I think is quite gorgeous. It's got a little bit of a retro kind of look and feel to it You got a left-click menu. So click on the desktop and you get your menu system here, and I really love it I just think this is one of the best Linux distributions out there that nobody really talks about So there you have it my top five Ubuntu based distributions plus an honorable mention Do you agree with these six Ubuntu based distributions that I shared on camera today? Are these in fact the best or do you disagree if you do disagree? Share in the comments down below now before I go I need to thank a few special people I need to thank the producers of this episode and of course I'm talking about Gabe James Matt Maxim mimit Mitchell Paul West while you bought on me Alex armor dragon Chuck commander angry Diochai George Lee Mars from Nate Erion Alexander Paul peace archer of the door polytech realities for less Red Prophet Roland Steven tools Devler and Willie these guys they're my house tiered patrons over on patreon without these guys This episode you just watched it wouldn't have been possible the show is also brought to you by each and every one of these fine ladies And gentlemen all these names you're seeing on the screen right now These are all my supporters over on patreon because I don't have any corporate sponsors I'm sponsored by you guys the community.

Welcome everyone to today's webinar, Next Steps Pathways to Permanent Residency After Graduation. My name is Kylie Maxwell and I'm a senior migration agent and a registered migration agent with the International Organization for Migration. Now before we move forward today, I'd just like to explain a little bit about IOM. IOM was established in 1951. It's a United Nations Migration Agency in over 150 plus countries and an additional 480 field offices. IOM has 166 member states and over 9,000 employees. So as you can see, IOM do understand migration and we understand migration pathways and the needs of the migrant. Migration services to Australia is a program within IOM and it provides migration advice, visa application assistance, travel services and post-arrival connect. Now post-arrival connect is a complementary service which IOM provide to support you in understanding your visa conditions and ensuring that when you arrive in Australia, you understand what those conditions mean. So the objectives for today are understanding relationships between visa classes, how current choices may impact future options, understanding risks with lodging incomplete, incorrect or inappropriate types of visa applications, understanding the importance of time planning. The outline for today is the possible migration pathway options after graduation, highlighting the key aspects of the subclass 485 temporary graduate visa, the subclass 189 skilled independent visa, the subclass 186 employer nominated visa and the subclass 457 temporary work skilled visa, which is soon to be the TSS. Also be discussing the importance of planning. Now looking at this visual representation of the expectation and goals of many students following the completion of their studies, on the left we have the student hat, the mortarboard hat and on the right we have the flag which is representing permanent residency. Now many of you out there will be wanting to apply immediately for permanent residency. However, this will depend on a number of factors. The first factor is firstly, if you have a skills assessing authority, which allows you to undertake a skills assessment without any work experience, for example, accountants and engineers. Secondly, you need to determine whether you have the time prepared to apply for that 189 visa given the number of steps and we'll talk about them shortly. Also perhaps if you have previously undertaken a bachelor's and undertaken work experience, you have been studying in Australia in a master's or a PhD. If you have that previous work experience, then you may be able to apply for your skills assessment. But for many of you, you will be looking at the subclass 485 temporary graduate visa. This is a visa with an 18 month to four year visa validity and it allows you to gain work experience in Australia. It also allows you if you really are unsure of what you want for the future. It helps you undertake that work experience and determine whether you want to stay in Australia permanently. Alternatively, there are a couple of other options for you. If you have an employer willing to sponsor you and you do have work experience, then perhaps the employer nominated subclass 186 visa is a possible option for you. Now an employer can nominate you for this visa and it is a permanent visa. You must have three years of work experience and have an occupation on the relevant list. Alternatively, you may be able to apply for the subclass 457, which is soon to be the TSS. If you have an occupation on the medium to long term strategic skills list, you must be starting in likely from March to June. You will be required two years of work experience as well for this visa. Now all of these visas have certain eligibility and the four key eligibility requirements are your age limit, your occupation, your English and your health and character. Each one of them has a maximum age limit. Each one of them has an occupational list relevant to it and you are required to have the relevant experience and qualifications associated with that. You must have confident English and you must meet the health and character requirements. So for the subclass 189, there are three key steps. We have the preparatory stage, we have the expression of interest and we have the visa application. Now the preparatory stage is where you identify the occupation on the medium and long term strategic skills list or the MLTSSL, which is relevant to you. Then you look to see whether you meet the points criteria. Then you look to obtain the positive skills assessment and undertake an English language test if required. Now some of you may come from a country where you are not required to undertake an English language test, for example the UK or Ireland. However, you may choose to do so to increase the number of points for your visa application. The second stage is the lodging the expression of interest or the EOI. And it's here you have to wait and see whether the government will accept your expression of interest and provide you with an invitation. The third stage is where you apply for the visa and you look to apply for your police clearances and undergo your health examinations. This is where home affairs assess individual applications and decide whether to grant the visa. Do remember that this third stage is when you're actually lodging the visa. So it's not until here that you are able to obtain a bridging visa while you're still waiting for a decision on your application. So ensure that you have enough time on your current visa if you're looking to apply for a 189. Some considerations on the subclass 189 is firstly, do you have the time for lodging this visa? Now that's the key one because for many of you, your visas will most of them finish within a particular timeframe after the completion of your studies. Given that you have to obtain a positive skills assessment and lodge your expression of interest and then wait for the invitation, you have to consider whether you will have the time to lodge your visa application within your current visa validity. If you can't complete the application within the visa validity or your application is refused, a couple of considerations you should look at are firstly the lost money, but also the lost opportunity to apply for another possible visa such as the 485. So whilst the subclass 485 is a temporary visa and you may be looking to apply for permanent residency, it is important that you understand that this may be a possible option for you, particularly to undertake that work experience and perhaps in the interim period to allow you the time required. The temporary graduate visa subclass 485 is a temporary visa and it allows you to live and work in Australia for a period of between 18 months and four years and you must apply within six months following the completion of your studies. The temporary graduate visa subclass 485 has one application, one visa, which equals one chance. And what this means is that this is an application that can only be applied for in Australia, so you are unable to apply for this offshore. So if you are refused this visa in Australia, firstly you are unable to apply for another one in Australia and secondly you are unable to fly offshore and apply. So there is one application, one visa and one chance. So what this means is if you have any concerns regarding the criteria, I do suggest you seek professional advice. The temporary graduate visa subclass 485 eligibility is for international students. It's for international students who have completed their studies in Australia for at least two academic years, be under 50 years of age and meet the English language requirements. The temporary graduate visa subclass 485 has two streams. It has the graduate work stream and the post-study work stream. Now under the graduate work stream you must nominate an occupation on the medium and long-term strategic skills list, the MLTSSL. You must also have applied for your skills assessment. Now you don't have to have received the decision on your skills assessment, but you must have applied for it. So you can lodge your application with as long as you have the evidence showing you have lodged your skills assessment. You are able to apply for the graduate work stream if you have undertaken a trade certificate, a diploma degree, graduate diploma master's or PhD in the last six months. For the post-study work stream you must have applied for and granted your first student visa on or after the 5th of November 2011. During the previous six months completed a bachelor's or master's or a doctorate. For both streams you must have completed two years of study in Australia be under 50 years of age, have required level of English proficiency and adequate health insurance for the duration of your stay. Now for the graduate work stream there is a flexibility here in terms of what study you undertook. So if you undertook a trade certificate for example and you have an occupation on the list then this allows you to apply for the graduate work stream. The post-study work stream has more flexibility however if you have a bachelor's or master's or a doctorate you don't need to nominate an occupation on the list and you don't need to undertake a skills assessment. So each one has some level of flexibility depending on what you have studied and your requirements. The temporary graduate visa subclass 485 graduate work stream has a visa validity of 18 months whilst the post-study work stream has a visa validity ranging from two to four years. So for a bachelor, a bachelor with honours a master's by coursework, a master's extended it's a two-year visa validity. For the master's by research it's a three-year visa validity and for a doctorate it's a four-year visa validity. So as you can see there's enough time to obtain relevant work experience for your required occupation. One key requirement of this visa is the Australian study requirement and in the six months before you apply you must have completed one or more qualification at a crime cost registered educational institution. You must have undertaken two academic it's 92 weeks, 16 calendar months studying in English and it must be on a student visa. So if you are currently studying in Australia on a dependent subclass 457 on your parents 457 you are ineligible to apply you must be on a student visa. Another key criteria is the completion date. This is the date that triggers the six month period during which you are able to apply for the subclass 485. It's the date of notification of all course requirements that have been met. Now for the graduate work stream it's also the date when you can begin lodging your skills assessment. Now this completion date, whilst it says here that you can completion date as a notification of final exam results in a letter on the internet on the educational institutions bulletin board in reality you are likely to have a letter from your course provider and it's called a letter of completion and this is what you are lodging your visa application with. The temporary graduate visa subclass 485 has a number of fees and charges associated with it. So the Department of Home Affairs for lodging a primary application charges $1,500. For migration agent fees these do vary currently IOM charge $1,500 however it can be 2,000, 2,500 fees do vary. There are also ancillary fees associated with the application and these include medical, police checks and if you come from a country where English is not the language of your documentation you will require translations. Currently the official processing times are two to four months however recently we've been obtaining decisions between three to six weeks so do keep an eye on the processing times and it is officially two to four months processing time. Now we have looked at the subclass 189 skilled independent visa and we did briefly talk about the 457 and the 186 but these are two alternative pathways that many people don't think of they usually think about the 189 and the 485 but not perhaps the 457 or the 186 as a future migration pathway. So subclass 186 has two steps it has the nomination and the visa application so in the nomination the business nominates an occupation and the person proposed to fill the position. Now the Home Affairs, Department of Home Affairs assesses the position and accepts the nomination based on the information provided by the business. The visa application is about you this is about your qualifications and background and experience and the nominated employee which is yourself lodges that application and Home Affairs assesses the individual and decide whether to grant that visa. Similar the subclass 457 soon to be the TSS has three steps but they're quite similar to the 186 the sponsorship, the nomination and the visa application. The sponsorship is where the business applies for the standard business sponsorship and the Department of Home Affairs assesses business and grants business sponsorship. For the nomination the business nominates the occupation and the person proposed to fill the position and the Department assesses the position and accepts the nomination and then for the visa application this is about you the nominated employee where you launch the subclass 457 and Department of Home Affairs assesses your individual application and decides whether to grant the visa. Now the medium and long-term strategic skills list, the MLTSSL is an occupation list which is relevant to the 457, the 186 and the 189 visa as well as the 485 visa. Do remember however but different visas have different lists. So even though we talk about the MLTSSL the 457 list for example is different to the 189 list so it is important that you look at the correct list for your visa application. Now the occupation the qualifications and the work experience are what are determined of this occupation. So firstly you look to see if your occupation is on the list do you have the qualifications to match that and do you have the work experience? That's then the step you need to move forward. So the migration pathway plan there's a relationship between visas and IOM will work with you to develop a migration plan which takes into consideration your personal goals and circumstances. Then we look at the timing and how to develop a migration pathway plan that incorporates each step in the migration process and a time plan to support you to achieve your migration goals. So in looking at that I'm just going to give you an example here of Elizabeth's story. Elizabeth studied a master's degree in Australia and had experience as a petroleum engineer and granted a 485 in March 2016. Now she actually in the November 2016 discussed with me an application for a subclass 189. Now after that I followed her regularly but however her business was very busy and she couldn't get back to me in time. So what happened in April 2017 petroleum engineer was removed from the list of occupations for the subclass 189. Now Elizabeth also worked in Sydney and could not be nominated under the regional skilled migration scheme subclass 187. So Elizabeth was pretty well running out of options and it's important that in looking at this story that we understand that IOM is there to assist you in ensuring that such a similar situation based on a pathway a migration pathway plan is unlikely to happen to you. Now it is of course we can't determine when occupations this change but we can assist you in ensuring that your time plan is on track and that you're working towards lodging the application in the timeframe that you determine. So IOM will discuss with you all possible migration pathways and work with you to start on the most suitable pathway and develop a timing plan for you. This timing plan we first look at becoming eligible to apply and this is essentially now once you've received a letter of completion. Then we understand the timing of completion of the visa application and preparation steps. Then we look to apply for the next visa before the current visa expires. It is important to understand this is a crucial one because you do not want to be unlawful. Then you begin planning for the next visa if it is required. So in summary the key points we've looked at today is the importance of a migration pathway plan and how current choices can impact on future applications. We've looked at the temporary graduate visa subclass 485 and also the 457 as well as sequoias to possible permanent residency and takes time to lodge all visas correctly to mitigate against incorrect or incomplete visa applications. And we've looked at the possible permanent residency options for you. Now IOM services and process are here as you can see on the screen and the steps in the process are that if you contact us via email contact you back within 48 hours we schedule an initial consultation where there is a charge but that charge then should you choose to lodge a visa application with us is absorbed into the professional fees. Then we ask you to bring along your plans, your goals, copy of your passport, copy of your student visa grant letter and course length details. We discuss your short and long-term goals or migration pathway options and assess your situation and develop a migration plan. At this stage should all your documents and your background meet the criteria and you are happy to proceed then IOM offer a letter of engagement of services.

I I'm I have a feeling I didn't do it It's John. See I like I would have no problem like Like doing like a super speedway NASCAR, right? I feel like that doesn't I Feel like that doesn't scare me I guess maybe it's because it's more closer closely associated with what I do in real life when I drive But I don't know I just feel like I Feel like I don't know I feel like this would be a little I'm undecided on it NASCAR I would I would love to do that. There's Michael Carter William Sixer's edition that'll be for West Thomas to 175 I'd love to love to race NASCAR. That'd be a lot of fun We're gonna put less of these in mixers Also, maybe I don't also don't like the fact that it's just like oh, I guess whoever has the the fastest reaction time To the light and then you hit the pedal and you switch gears at the right times and then it's over in like a second Perhaps I like the the the the the strategy Perhaps I like the strategy of NASCAR better like the strategy over like 500 laps That's more appealing to me in just a quarter mile Miller Booth I drive a a 2020 Mini Cooper four-door S type It's I play it's like playing Mario Kart every day when I drive. It's pretty quick Dual clutch seven speed twin turbo engine Very enjoyable shocked. I haven't gotten a speeding ticket yet someday Someday I will sometimes I draft behind behind cars I don't think I could actually get a draft effect What speed would you actually get an effect from from drafting behind the car? I feel like you'd have to be consistently over like a hundred miles per hour Maybe more to even take advantage of that Maybe the aerodynamics of my car does not allow Proper drafting to happen anyway No, let's just regular all the depot R.I.P. Kobe Marta Rosen D-Wade I was I thought there was gonna be an autograph in there D-Wade Paul Nixon with the heat last spot mojo, and there's Devin marble to 249 We do it.

Oh, I just need to be close to a big enough truck and get in the airway But would that give me enough drafting power to slingshot around the truck like they do in NASCAR I can definitely feel that like when if I'm driving fast enough and I'm I get near a truck You know my car will kind of I'll feel the the air but I guess I don't have the I don't have the technique to Slingshot around it using the using that draft again. I'm not sure if I'm I feel like I need enough velocity to To get there the John Starks die-cut autograph nice Chris Erickson nicks Five out of 49 on that one things like Successful business guy.

So Sam saying go carts mini sprints sprint cars legend cars The thing is like you would think that maybe Southern California doesn't seem like a hotbed of racing it is though The where they're doing these these quarter mile funny car races is like Maybe 20 minutes from where I grew up You know when I go home and visit my parents I drive by that all the time It was like the big Pomona Speedway and then obviously the the big NASCAR track California Speedway or Auto club speed whatever it's name called now the California Speedway is in Riverside, it's in Riverside, Fontana, right, right, right. Is that right? See, why aren't we not race car drivers Vanessa? Like it's in our area where we grew up and it was just kind of funny like I don't know like how people get into it But a lot of people do So the so access is is is here in the area obviously Southern California big car culture So access is there, but I don't know I guess dirt tracks is something we don't have Unless you grew up in the desert like in the Palm Springs area a lot of kids out a lot of racing out there the kids out there and The in the dunes.

I didn't get anything It happens unfortunately Well, you still have a shot at that box right there which has Three cards per box. I think there's usually one or two graded cards in there They're not all autos, but I I think I think there's just like be like an rj barrett like gemman tan or something like that But like silver stuff like that I think we've done some breaks of these. So if you want an example, you can you can look up the videos on our channel It's worth a look. I think it's really good. It's a nice repack product. They did a good job So apparently this box what retails at at least 600 dollars. So if you're like, joe bad break for me, man, this sad times Um, well, you still have a shot at that one spot in 30 is going to get that Which is good. It's good odds for a 600 dollar box Well, we're going to send it to you sealed now you can You can rip it if you want to and if you do Shoot us an email jasky's case fakes at gmail.com and let us know what you got.

What up me familia? Welcome back another fixture form if you want to get involved. We need three reps at 70% squat bench deadlift overhead Any lift you want email it to ask m-i-k-k-e at gmail.com And if you get chosen you'll be involved. We got some deadlifts today my friend here the most common mistake in deadlifts Form overalls decent, but what we're doing here is we're squatting the weight up So what we need to do is try to get our hips a bit higher And I know people say lower hips you get more legs involved that is fine and dandy But it's going to be dependent on how you're built right now your knees are in the way of the bar path You have no tension your hamstrings or glutes So what we want to do is hip hinge the weight up deadlift the weight up pull the weight up Do anything you want with the weight up, but we don't want to squat the weight up So we will we're aiming for is a little bit higher hip position You drop that chin a little bit chest will be a little bit more towards the ground And then you're gonna end up pushing those hips back a little bit more almost think about pushing your hips further away from the barbell Behind you getting your body weight behind the bar Another little thing just from this view is what I'll try to do is make sure those legs and arms are symmetrical And I like to get my arms as close to my body as possible Without making it restrictive or in the way Hitting my knees or something like that one. It's gonna allow you to flex your back nice and hard pulling the bar into your body Number two, it's gonna Reduce the range of motion. So the closer our arms are together the closer they are to shoulder width That's for both the sumo in the conventional The less range of motion we're gonna have to pull that bar that hopefully the stronger we will be over time. So my friend Hips a bit higher drop that chin just a hair pull that bar into you smash away Oh, we're going sumo fan. And yes, sumo is a real deadlift I don't care what y'all got to say if it was that much easier all the world records would be broken sumo and that's just not the case Overall pretty dang decent One little thing we could try to always work on is just that queue of flexing our lats as much as we can When you have the barbell in front of you one little thing to kind of create twerk in the shoulder And flex our lats harder our upper back harder Which will one allow our midline to be a little bit more rigid, which is like our tightness to Keep that bar close to us. Even though you're doing a great job of it is getting that elbow to point backwards You see that elbow right there. It's similar to the bench press where we're turning. We're almost bending that bar At the wrist at the elbow and then hopefully what that is queuing is us to actually just flex our shoulder. Here's a little bit better view Really good man really really good you do a really good job of getting in position Not only in a position, but what's optimal position for you and your body super solid I dig it not much to fix other than The tighter and harder you can flex your lats the better off you're gonna be you can see my man right here Just as I mentioned if you can get a straight line from your shoulder to the barbell on both conventional and sumo Sumo the better off we're gonna be so Props to you dude looks like you put in some work. You put in some time And you really created the best pole for your lovers and he's got all them angles them sick angles One little thing and now that we're going fast-paced here.  And you can just see how you're jerking on the bar under a heavier load What's gonna happen is you're gonna jerk on that bar and it's not gonna move hips are gonna shoot up And you're not gonna be able to complete the lift that's very very common for both sumo and conventional Polars depending on the federation you compete in now strictly judging Either you're not gonna complete the lift or you're gonna get some up-down stuff off the ground because you're gonna lose balance by Trying to go zero to a hundred rather than slowly step on the gas think about a nice smooth pull not a herky jerky Rev off you know here's another pole But pretty good sumo dude just slow it down slow it down strength doesn't have to always be faster you deal with maximal loads Not bad It looks like you were gonna set up a little bit low for my liking and it still might be a hair low with those hips You can see the over curvature in your back What we're gonna try to do is pull those ribs down a little bit and flex your stomach So what we want is a straight line a compact line From our shoulders to our hips get in that is compact and and straight and Solid as we can so big breath in your stomach flex down in those hips a little bit if that's just your setup to drop those hips way low That's fine Just make sure that you have that tension in your hamstrings and glutes when you're actually pulling so a hair higher You can see you're trying to pull on the bar a little bit and it doesn't want to move Until those hips are in the right place anyway, so might as well just try not to waste energy and get in that same spot You could try dropping your chin a hair it's not gonna make a big difference But see right here I don't like you setting up with your hips in that starting position too long One we want to use the elasticity of our muscles a little bit as we get into place and to it's just telling me that you're kind of squatting the Weight up so hips ahead a hair higher Get some tension in that low back and glutes and you should be good to go overall very very efficient very solid You can see rep to rep also Just some inconsistencies and what we want to try to do is make it like our golf swing powerlifting is a little bit like golf Or we just want to do the exact same thing over and over and over hopefully with more weight more volume over time, but if you just get down the Routine of doing the exact same thing every single time from your hands to your feet placement and also your hips where sometimes Your hips are in a great spot like right there And then other times will drop those hips way low again The main thing is we just want to compact that midline from hip to shoulder as tight as we freaking can as straight as we freaking can And for you my friend, that's just going to be pulling those ribs down just a hair We talk about cues here and there people we talk about having your chest high which is fine cue, but it's all relative We don't want it overdone first what we got here My friend is we're going to need to get some flatter shoes the flatter the shoe the more stable you're going to be Number two. Oh, we got a double. We got a couple. We got couple deadlifts my friends Hopefully I'll be able to finish what I just saw there number two is we're gonna have to try to get that back a little bit flatter So think about breathing into that belt I think about breathing underneath the belt 360 in my stomach my obliques and my low back Oh, we got the flip floppy of the couple the other thing is having your hips a hair higher You got a little bit long torso a little bit long legs And I can see that you're trying to pull your hips too low and that's making that low back around a little bit Last piece is I'm not a huge fan of touching go I think there's a time and place for it But I think for the majority of power lifters of power lifting is your goal We're gonna have to have that dead stop on the ground one It's gonna help us teach speed and positioning off the ground Which is obviously important in power lifting because the one right max is most important In two if even if you're not a power lifter Chances that you get pushed out of position or get sloppy doing touching goes and kind of get that rebound or bounce off The ground is high. So the more we can Control it the better hubby here a boyfriend here is doing better job of kind of that dead stop I'd like to see a little more control on the way now, but overall really solid my man here I could already tell we got wrong weights. So the deadlift as bro science says you always start with 135 It doesn't matter how strong or weak you are you always start with 135 Which is true because we're using Olympic lifting plates and that is a certain diameter of the hole Hmm of the hole where the bar goes through And it's also a certain height so the all deadlifts and all power lifting regardless of federation is always gonna start from the same Standard height and that's gonna allow us to live this properly if you're using standard plates Which is right here, which is a smaller hole and a smaller plate Hmm a smaller hole to put the barbell through If you guys know what I'm saying give me a hmm in the comment section below We're gonna have issues because it's almost gonna be like a deficit pole Now considering this is a deficit pole your form is pretty solid You can see your knees lock out a little bit before your hips But sometimes that happens on a deficit because you have increased range of motion a little bit too much quack on the neck I'd like to see you drop your chin and eye line just a bit Hips might have to be a hair higher than you want Especially when going from a deficit a deficit a great movement to increase range of motion To help grip strength overall strength Sometimes bottom position but what it can do for many lifters is actually Mess up your bottom position where your hips are gonna be too low or too high Compared to where you would normally pull And then when you do go to pull from the ground your coordination your movement pattern is off and your technique actually can get worse So a deficit pole can be a great teaching tool when done properly But you have to really focus on starting in the same position on a deficit Then you would a ground the normal ground and and for many people that's gonna mean Hips are gonna feel and actually be a hair higher than you actually think they're gonna be Because that reduced range of motion. We don't want to squat that weight up remember We still want that tension or hamstrings and glutes So it can be difficult But it can be a good teaching tool again if you do dead stop and if you think about each rep being its own Each even though you're doing a set of eight singles eight singles as a set of eight doing each one perfectly I'd also try to move your grip out a little bit. I know you're using that standard barbell So it might feel a little compact those plates are really close to you But my number one recommendation is try to get a cheap Olympic barbell for you my friend overall Your form is really solid, but it's hard to tell what kind of weights you're using also the standard weights again are making it The deficit so it can be done But for pretty much everybody I do recommend the Olympic barbell with a bigger hole a bigger barbell But overall I guess for a deficit here your form is pretty dang solid You're getting really nice and tight you're flexing the biceps to let the ladies know here on YouTube What the hell is going on all three ladies that are watching so I got mad respect for that looks like you're pounding away at home You got your office in the background doing sets of deadlifts supersetted with sets of excel sheets and Accounting which I appreciate. I appreciate the working man. Shout out to the working man. This one's for you There's buds for you, but I do Thinking you find gym membership or just grab an Olympic barbell. It looks like you have your own weight set I know that stuff costs But if you're trying to do these things One barbells and plates kind of last forever unless you mistreat them So it would be a good investment if you're really trying to get after the deadlift. What do we got next? What do we what do we got the slow-mo the standard barbell looks like he's about to just check that through their room Looks way too light for you to and to load up a proper amount of weight The diameter of the bar is gonna be a little bit thin and then load a proper amount of weights You're gonna need a frickin Olympic barbell my friend Can we get on to the next person already? I'm here waiting you guys are waiting. Oh, we got more weight for this guy. I don't know what's going on I can't see what's happening ahead of time Yeah, so the hips just walking out early is common mistake in both lifts or excuse me the knees locking out early Both, you know deficit or not deficit and what that's just basically tell me is that you're squatting the weight up And then to your hips are too low to begin with I know there's some talk about sumo deadlift Where the knees should lock out first or the hips and I think with the sumo depending on how you're built You may need to lock out the knees a little bit Ahead of time before the hips and that's going to Basically just allow for a straighter bar path and allow the knees to get out of the way of the bar path on the conventional pole You know 99% of the time you're gonna need to Lock the hips and knees at the same time similar to a squat if you aren't doing this The issue will be is once you lock those knees out a lot of your body weight and the barbell Which hopefully is near a maximum when we're talking about a power lifting meat is going to be in front of the barbell And you're just gonna get tipped forward.   And so when we're practicing one just for Competition sake obviously, but for even injury and just general form and technique You want that barber to go one smooth emotion if you get too much herking and jerking With heavy loads up down type stuff that the risk for injury goes Way up and same thing with this knees locking out too early is you get so much of that barbell a heavy view Yes, our low back is strong and yes, our low back can handle a lot amount of work and weight It's not just gonna go straight to snap city But over repetition and the chances do go up when them all of that load ends up in the low back because your knees Locked out early and again that's just because of this guy's pulling off a deficit a little bit and then the Range of motion gets changed I'm gonna end up cutting the video right here my friends as it looks like we got the repeat I do appreciate you give this video a thumbs up if you want to see more be sure to subscribe Drop in a video every other day turn on notifications. So you don't miss it guys. I'm solid Mike. I appreciate you. We're out of here
