Hey guys, it's Liana and I'm here today to talk about spinning silver by Naomi Novik. You all laughed when I said I was going to read another Naomi Novik book because I hated the first two that I read. I hated how brooded and I hated the education but I loved spinning silver.  This book did it right. This book was exactly what I had wanted and hoped to get out of a brooded and if a brooded had been like this I would have loved it. Like I complained so much about how a brooded was trying to be this fairy tale-esque thing and totally missed the mark. It didn't have the atmosphere. It didn't really have this ancient folkloric feel. Like it seemed to think that it would or wanted to try to have. I don't know what happened between her writing a brood and her writing this but she got it right. She figured out how to do it. And then a brooded where we follow one perspective throughout and it's an insufferable perspective. We follow many many many perspectives and spinning silver almost too many. Like almost. It wasn't too many but it was close to too many. But the interweaving of different versions of the rumble still skin story and how she retold it and re-retold it and re-re-re-retold it and complexly layered the retellings and interwoven the retellings into each other. It was glorious and it was so feminist without being hamfisted or soapwaxy. The characters were complex and nuanced while still having this kind of like distant archetypal fairy tale quality. There were some romantic elements but it was at no point a romance. There were a few instances where having read a brooded I was like oh god if this turns into a romance no but it never did that. It like kind of hinted at that and teased at it which was just enough. Any more than that and it would have been shitty. I felt like it had this ancient folkloric feel which I really really really appreciated. So if you have read a brooded and you hated it like me do give spinning silver ago because like I had been told that by multiple people like oh I know you hated uprooted but I think you would still like spinning silver and I was like alright cause I mean I own this edition so I was like okay. And I did really really like it. I really really did. It had that like those earthy fairy tale vibes. It reminded me actually a lot of The Bear the Nightingale by Catherine Arden. The story no but the the vibes of it the feeling of this kind of like earthy magic that's kind of in everything this magical realism kind of where it's not so much that this world has like a wizard in it it's just that there's this like inherent magical quality to things that people just accept as part of everyday life. Like well of course there's spirits in the woods. Of course there are like evil magics that can make the winter come like that just kind of the world and and it just feels very folkloric for that reason because like in fairy tales it just kind of it's just like the natural state of things and it's a natural progression of events that a magical creature would pop up and offer assistance like well that's fairy tale logic for you. There was a lot of applications of like fairy tale logic where like what are the characters would their solution to something would be a fairy tale-esque solution where like it doesn't make logical sense but has that feeling of like tricking the fairy which is kind of how Rumpelstilts can use as a fairy tale where you're kind of tricking the the magical creature out of you holding up your end of the park and I did some interesting things to like point out biases and misconceptions and I guess kind of kind of racist things I guess. There's the sort of like the Jew money lender and how people like look down at that being dirty but are more than happy to use the services and to borrow money. The role of women, the how women are able to carve out some kind of form of agency despite the world not really offering it to them. The way the magic of silver was used in it I thought was very filled with imagery like a lot of things in it like it goes really picturing like this really fantastical beautiful fairy tale thing a lot of the time the way it was described like I was visualizing a lot more with this than I have I don't generally visualize very much when I read I was visualizing a lot with this so it really made me feel like I was like tumbling into this fairy tale world of snow and ice and silver and dark magics and feminism so I had a really great time with this I really really did and like reading it in December wasn't kind of the perfect time to be doing it I was listening to the audiobook so I was actually cooking a meal for my friend for New Year's and I'm Latvian so I was cooking like a lot of traditional Latvian foods while listening to it and it just was the perfect experience because like all the smells and hoos around me I was like cutting beats and I had cabbage on the stove and like all the smells around me and then hearing this this story about these like the kind of housework they're doing the kind of food they're eating the whole thing I was just like oh this is like the perfect time and space to be experiencing this so that worked out quite nicely so yeah and it is a standalone which like I mean in generally speaking for fantasy is nice because you're not committing to like a whole series this is it and it's told exactly like it's not too long or too short it's the right length tells the stories it means to tell leave some things hanging but not in a way where you're like kind of for a sequel just kind of like the nature of like life is never that conclusive so leaving the threads open to like you can imagine where these where these characters lives will be going towards after the events of this book you imagine a future for them just also very feel it very tale-less the kind of like and now they live happily ever after like it's not a cheesy ribbon on it happily ever after ending but it ties in it up in a way where you're like and now I see where their lives go on from here so well done well well done let me know in the comments down below if you have read Naomi Novik's books and how you felt about them I got and I I guess it just goes to show that just because you might hate an author's books does not mean you will hate all of that author's books I feel like two different people wrote these books and I'm kind of glad I read it in this order because if I read this now I'd be like oh well then I'll brood it will be great too and I'd be I was already quite disappointed based on the reputation that book had and based on knowing my own reading tastes and what should appeal to me but having now seen how well she can execute this I would be mega uber-duper disappointed without brood it a lot of people love both so let me know in the comments down below your feelings and thoughts about this type of storytelling how authors can have a variety of types of story and they could appeal to different readers if you had a similar experience to me or a different maybe you've loved up rooted and hated spinning silver that's an option feel like if you really love to brood it then you could very easily have the opposite taste of me anyway let me know all the things I post videos on saturdays other random times as well but definitely saturdays so like and subscribe and i'll see you when i see you bye


The current economic framework, which was predicated on the belief that lowering taxes, liberalization, financial liberalization, pre-liberalization would lead to faster economic growth and to everybody's well-being increasing, we now realize that those ideas were wrong. I'm Joe Stiglick, I teach at Columbia University. The world today is facing a confluence of several problems, many of which are interrelated, represent some real challenges that so far our political system has not been able to address effectively because the fruits of what limited economic growth were not widely shared, large fractions of the population seeing their incomes stagnate or even decline, a notion that liberalization would itself lead to the growth of economies and everybody would be better off. Well, economic theory actually was much more qualified in its endorsement of free trade. For instance, I showed many, many years ago, if trade liberalization could and would increase risk, the consequence of that was that everybody, everybody in all the countries could be worse off. What that says is before you liberalize, you ought to think about making sure your markets are working well, particularly in countries like the United States. Those who were pushing for liberalization at the same time opposed assistance that would have helped people make the adjustment. One of the most important contributions in our understanding of trade were a series of theorems by Paul Samuelson, which showed that in advanced countries liberalization would lower the incomes of unskilled workers. No one, when they were pushing for trade liberalization, even mentioned this, markets are not in general efficient. We've known that markets are neither efficient nor stable and yet policymakers and many economists proceeded as if, quote, economics taught us that markets were always efficient and stable. Tell me, if everybody's against it, why, why is it proceeding? Well, this is a very easy answer. It was a corporate agenda. It was an agenda that had the effect of lowering wages driven mainly by the desire to increase profits. You see that vividly and, for instance, the intellectual property agenda increased the profits of big pharma at the expense of access to life-saving medicines all over the world. We didn't provide the social protection that we should have provided. If we're going to really have sustained economic growth based on globalization, we need to rewrite the rules of globalization. We have to have a deeper reform in our economic system, a new social contract that ensures that growth is inclusive, that there is shared prosperity.


Hi everyone, welcome to the Hilton Hotel in Shenzhen. I'm at Allwinner's first partner conference. This is our first event promoting Allwinner and looking at some of our products and what we're doing. So we have a number of partners here today that work with us in different technologies in different industries within the ecosystem of Shenzhen and Guangzhou. We also have a lot of products on display. So we're going to have a walk around. We're going to look at some of those products and show you a little bit about what the APC event has in store. So this is the first booth from our BU1 business unit. We have a number of home entertainment products on display. So if you look over here, we have some Bluetooth and Wi-Fi speakers. These are obviously quite popular at the moment, so these are made by some Chinese brands. Over here we have some software. This software is used for facial recognition. As you can see on the monitor here, the software can kind of recognise the different people in the photo. You can also recognise different objects like a motorbike or a horse. So many applications for this kind of software in automotive are also at home entertainment. Over here we have a popular product in Asia, not quite as popular in the West. This is sort of a home karaoke machine. So if you enjoy singing, you can listen to your favourite song, watch the video, sing along. Maybe not for me, but it's quite popular here. Another popular product is obviously drones. So we saw the image recognition software earlier. One application for that software would be in a device like this. So maybe I could fly this around, sort of identify different individuals or different objects. So over here we have some similar to maybe like a portable TV. But these devices have evolved a little bit. They sort of feature richer features than just television. So this device has sort of a similar operating system to like an Android device. These kind of sort of products are marketed maybe at older people, people that aren't quite as tech savvy. So it's kind of designed to be easy to use, not too complex. And finally over here we have a product from a company that makes tablets for the educational market. This tablet uses some software that can detect your face and also detect how far away you are from the object. So if I stand over here, it can measure the distance between myself and the device. Okay, so as you can see we have some other stands on display here. So we're going to move over and have a look at what's on display. Alright, so in this booth we have a number of display devices. So the first device over here, this is used for video conferencing. So here would be your display and it's got your sort of camera for video conferencing or you want to make some Skype call or you want to use WeChat, you can use a device like this. And we also have some other display devices. This is sort of similar to a digital photo frame. So you might want to display different images in here or your favorite photos. You can also update those photos using your mobile phone. So maybe if you bought a gift like this for your parents and you were on holiday, you can send them an image and they can display that in their home. So that's kind of a cool gadget. Over here we have a 2-in-1 tablet device. So this is becoming more and more popular in the tablet market. A lot of people are switching from laptops to 2-in-1 devices. Obviously these are a little bit more portable and you can attach the keyboard here. If you want to do some typing, do some email. And finally here is a payment machine. So this device can take payment. So maybe this used more in the commercial space rather than the consumer space. Most of these products are aimed at the consumer market. But some of them do have commercial applications. We also have an advertising board that sort of supermarkets can use to display things. That also has sort of commercial applications. So we'll carry on over in this direction. Okay, so we have another product here from Readboy. This again is an educational tablet device. We're also working with this company to support Snapdragon chipset on these devices. That's a new product project we're doing with Readboy. And another sort of product we've talked about in the past is the Haspen laptop. Obviously we've done a couple of videos about this featuring our A64. So this is quite a sort of hot product at the moment. That's what we've brought it to the show to show people. This is another sort of area that all of us are working quite hard in. We're launching a new business division called All Winner Services. This is to try and promote our TV box solutions. So we have an OTT TV box solution based on our H3 processor. This is more for the retail market. You can just sort of buy it off the shelf. But in the future we're going to be aiming solutions also at the operating market. So this is an example here of one of our TV boxes. This using our H2 processor. And you can see it's quite a nice display. This is in full H4K. Okay, so moving on. Did you try this one? I'm not sure I do or I'm not. I've never tried this one. It's very HD. Okay, so this clip on. So if I want to sort of navigate through the video, I can use this device to go forward, go back, access the menu. Alright, well thank you very much for your time. It's my pleasure. Glad to meet you. You too. Okay, so here we are at the All Winner Partner Conference. So here is the conference hall. So we have a number of speakers that will be giving talks at the show today. People from ARM, people from different technology companies in China. And they'll be sharing with us what's going on in their business, what's going on in their company. Maybe there's some opportunities for us to work together and push things forward in the Guangzhou and Shenzhen ecosystem. So thank you for joining me today. I hope you've enjoyed listening about our conference. And we look forward to showing you next year's event.


The study found that individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 showed significant cognitive deficits compared to controls. This suggests that the virus can cause long-lasting cognitive impairment even after recovery from the acute stage of the illness. Further research is needed to better understand the progression of these symptoms and their effects on daily life. This article was authored by Sioas Sobrino-Oralano, Yolanda Balboa-Bondera, Javier Pina, and others.

They operated on him again day before yesterday Thank you so much Paul. Let me know that you can hear me And he's recuperating now and I am now at the Cleveland Clinic, which is where he is a patient and he actually works here, too And I'm staying at the intercontinental here right on the campus of the Cleveland Clinic to take care of my boy My boy is actually 27 years old, but he's still my boy His wife had to go to work So somebody's got to be here to take care of him and nurse him back to health. So that's my job So that's what I'm doing. That's why I have this bracelet right here That's why you see a hotel room behind me But I didn't want to leave you guys out and just leave you for the entire week because I'm gonna be here for the whole week So get used to this. I don't know if I can find a different angle or something if you've got some other ideas Let me know I have a window here in front of me So it's letting some beautiful light and you know a lot of you say well my gosh She should be so upset they botched his operation and he's in a lot of pain and really a near-death type thing happened to him But I'm not because he's not He's alive and he made it through it and I was able to talk to him this morning And it was it was pretty serious stuff And it's a good thing because today I want to kind of talk to you a little bit about your attitude as you start this online business Your attitude is gonna be Critical to you getting through now I will tell you nobody sat me down when I started my business and said hey You're gonna run into a lot of crap You're gonna have a lot of problems things are gonna go bad wrong and they did they went bad wrong many times When I was growing my business nobody sat me down and said but you're gonna need to be positive They didn't need to and here's why they didn't need to because the alternative for me was to go back to my old job The alternative for me was to go back to my old boss Who was a drug addict? alcoholic Yeah, he was a very accomplished person very wealthy person, but not somebody I respected So that was the motivation that I needed Paul says prayers for speedy recovery brother. Thank you so much.  I love my son. So I'm here to take care of it. It's okay Uh, good morning. How's your son? I was just talking about that. They did a botched surgery on him They actually sewed part of his intestine To his stomach wall accidentally when they were doing a hernia operation which caused his bowels to block And uh, they didn't know it and they weren't going in to operate to figure out why and um Yeah, it was getting really bad because if it had split I could have you know gone into his entire system and killed him But fortunately they went in they said, oh my gosh, we uh, we made a incision problem And we sewed up your intestines accidentally to your stomach Not a good thing not a good thing, but anyhow they they detached it He's got tubes down his nose and all this kind of stuff Still not able to eat or any of that but that's not our subject today Our subject today is being positive. So that's what I'm going to talk about And that's why you see the hotel room behind me because I'm here with him Trying to nursing back to health, which I can do I've done it. I was a single dad. I raised him by myself So I think I can do this too. So Why do you go negative first off? I mean, why is it that our brains and guys understand this is about growing your business online This is about building your business online But if I neglect this area if I neglect Explaining to you why you need to change your brain and you can change your brain My brain is not the way it used to be years ago. You can reprogram your brain. Anybody can do this Okay, but it's a good idea to look at why your brain automatically seems To look at the world through a negative lens. Okay now According to loretta brining of the inner mammal institute. She says Chemistry hurts. Okay. Our body is made up of chemicals. Some are good. Some are not so good But chemicals such as dopamine serotonin oxytocin all fall within the category of happy. Okay, so we have these happy things, right now chemicals And they create these senses of pleasure or satisfaction our body releases in short spurts Only which are metabolized quickly. So this pushes us to keep seeking a way to stimulate these chemicals We shouldn't be happy all the time But we should always be motivated to go be happy. Okay, and I think we all have experienced that We always want to be happy, but we're not always happy On the opposite end of the spectrum is control. Okay, and you need those things too. It's a chemical that surges um To connect the neurons in your brain at a single moment causing the feeling of pain and it's effective Okay, it motivates you to focus on the cause of the release and work to make it stop Okay, so we we need those those feelings too. Unfortunately This comes at the cost of not noticing much else except the solution to stop the pain the pain or the discomfort So I don't want to get too deep into this, but i'm going to get a little bit deep into it because I think it's important Uh tyens says oh elch. Hope they get it right soon Uh sepsis is very scary. Yes, he did not get sepsis But it was it was going in that direction Let's see here I think it's important to remember the serenity prayer create an environment for positive start by getting negative Stop or start by getting negative people. I think you've been getting rid of negative people But uh anyhow, we are surrounded by triggers So our ancestors were surrounded by dangers and so are we Albeit different strains of danger right while they may have had to worry about wild animals We are more worried about the disappointment of failure And that really kind of takes over our brain, especially if we're trying to do a business or we're trying to do something new Either way your brain learns what to associate with good and what to associate with bad And you've trained your brain over the years. You may not have meant it. Okay now.  This is necessary to help us avoid dangers And it's you know, it's self preservation We have to have this but it also means that the brain focuses on negatives that we come across on a daily basis It always does that it's always going to turn to the negative Someone who is allergic to bees will consistently be scanning for bees makes sense, right? So they may not notice the beautiful patch of flowers that surround the bees Okay, they may not notice that or how pretty a bee actually is The difficulty of being social we are inherently social species which brings its own set of difficulties Now, I know a lot of people will say well, I'm not I'm an introvert I don't like being around people. I'm uncomfortable around people.  I was that introverted person We are consistently comparing ourselves to others. We do it all day long. I don't care if it's clothing I don't care if it's age. I don't care if it's intelligence. I don't care if it's money We're constantly doing this. We don't mean to but we do it Okay, which leads to a constant back and forth of serotonin and cortisol When our brain sees that we are in a position of weakness. It is processed faster meaning We then need to try again for the social reward. Okay, there's a social reward out there There's this flip flop to this We also need social support our brain seeks safety in the herd and releases oxytocin When we find safety in social support now, this is dangerous for a business This is dangerous because the majority of the people out there aren't going to be a Aren't going to be accomplishing what you want to accomplish. Okay, so we need to do it differently We need to change things differently when we move away from the hard Uh and safety. Okay, well, excuse me when we move away from the herd and all that safety Um and or or when the the herd itself is threatened It releases cortisol in alarm. Okay. It says oh my god, there's this big problem So your brain is sending mixed signals and you may feel safe in the herd and get oxytocin But at the same time you'll find yourself in a position of weakness Releasing the cortisol this will cause mixed feelings and you can lead to anxiety and social settings And we've all experienced anxiety.  Uh my my son's in the hospital here He had a near-death experience really But i'm positive because yesterday was my birthday. Uh, I traveled all day yesterday for my birthday But how exciting is it that I got to see my son? It's something horrible didn't happen to him. Okay There are a few methods to try And I want you to choose one or try all of them. I'm going to give you several things to do And yes, this is important to growing your business online guys This is so important because if I don't get your brain, right? You're not going to make it through all the obstacles you need to make it through to have a business online Uh, let's see here Let's see. I'm to the point that if people are always negative or spouting off conspiracy theories constantly I will unfollow if it's family and unfriendly for others Uh, I don't want more of that junk around me. And that's very true guys You've got to think about what do you put in your brain every day?  I have a really good friend. Who's a plastic surgeon Uh, and has been for years very positive guy has a great family very accomplished person And if you walked up to him and said what's happened in the news, he couldn't tell you You know, he told me one day he says I haven't listened to the news in years And I said why not he says because it's not positive and there's nothing I can do about it And you know, that's a really good reply The news is not positive. It's never going to be positive. There's a line in the news and it goes like this if it bleeds It leads so the more horrible it is the more they're going to push that story because people gravitate towards those stories It's because your brain is wired that way.  Okay, somebody spam, right every single day Spend one minute looking around specifically for positives. How often do you do this? How often you go? You know what? This is not a bad hotel room. You know what? My son is alive. You know, he went through a really terrible experience But he's alive. Uh, you know what? I got a great wife at home. How often do you do that? This helps you retrain your brain making it look for positives in the same way that it may right now be looking for negatives Now there was a dr. Bruning and she recommended that you do this for 45 minutes Now there's really no reason To stop after that, right? If you if you do it for 45 minutes, how about you see well guys I don't have time to sit there and look for positive things every day Really? Why not look for positive things all day long start off with three times a day at a minute and then grow it Grow it to where you're a positive person because that's what we're trying to get to Because if we can get to that when these negative things happen to you When your business isn't doing well when you're not selling what you want to sell When you're not getting the traffic you want when you don't have as many opt-ins Your brain's going to switch to what's positive about this What is positive about this and you're going to build on that Now the next thing i'll tell you is let people know that you are recognizing positives no matter how Recent they are This could be taking a minute and saying thank you to the co-worker that helped you with the project It could mean digging up an old mentor such as a college professor High school teacher and thanking them for advice. They may have given you that you now use every day You know, I went to dinner the other night with somebody I haven't seen since I was 18 years old And I let him know how he affected me. He was a really cool person. He was very talented He got in some trouble. We won't talk about that, but we all did when we were kids But the thing is he's had a positive impact on the world and become very successful The next thing I'm going to tell you is I want you to learn to pivot Okay, if you find yourself thinking negatively, I want you to stop Stop it and think about where you would find yourself if you turn 180 degrees What if you stopped what you were doing? What if you stopped that thought process? Okay, what would happen? What would happen? So for the longest time people Didn't clean up after their pets.   They didn't do it. Okay, you just stepped in it every now and then and you live with it Okay, and it wasn't a big deal to you They they would they would put out their cigarettes and throw them on the ground It was just common practice Instead of getting mad and focusing on the negatives the dog poop that is there Think about the positives focus on the fact that 99 percent of the people are picking up after the dogs now They didn't do that when I was a kid. Okay The next thing I'm going to tell you I want you to do and I want you to practice all these things because tomorrow We're digging into this business thing, but I want your head right I really do guys without this without this you're not going to succeed if you don't get your brain right This is what's been preventing you from succeeding before I'm telling you this is the stuff right here We've all heard about that that pay it forward moments, you know at starbucks or mcdonalds or something like that But you don't need to shell out money to the fast food chains to achieve this Just perform small acts of kindness that will help other people Helping others make them feel good. Say. Thank you. Help them out.   It doesn't matter if they're driving erratically You're going to let everybody in you can't imagine How liberating that was for me I don't I don't get mad at anybody anymore when they drive bad and then I have a justification in my brain If somebody does drive poorly, here's what I say to myself I say, of course, they're supposed to drive poorly. They're not good drivers Of course And here's something else.  I wonder if they've got somebody in the hospital that they're racing to I wonder if they've got an emergency emergency that's happened in their life I wonder if a loved one just left them or they got got fired from their job Man, I feel sorry for those people. That's the way I look at drivers now That's the way I look at drivers and you know what you can say. Well jr.  Does it next thing I'm going to tell you Is take care of yourself your health can impact your outlook your your health does impact your outlook actually If you're eating well, you're sleeping. Well, you're exercising appropriately And I exercise I exercise probably four or five days a week. I was just down there talking to my son I was also like flexing. I'm like, oh, look at me. You know, I'm 62 years old and I can do x number of things I do 170 push-ups now. I do 170 now That's not that's not 2000 like David Goggins But for me, you know at my age, it's okay. I'm gonna work my way up to 200 I want to be able to do 200, you know when I do my push-ups I do them every minute or in the minute until I hit that number And I usually do it for 12 13 minutes So that's what I do. I take care of myself Um, this isn't an old wives tale. Okay While they they haven't really pinpointed the exact reason why this happens But universities such as john hopkins or the university of kansas have noted the link There is a link take an honest critical look at how you treat your body and what you put in it What are you eating? How are you sleeping? Are you exercising?  And let me check my time here. I'm doing good. I'm at 10 19 Um The next thing you want to do is release that inner negativity that you have Center your thoughts around things that make you happy. Okay, you want to do that Helping to direct your mind towards positive things constant negativity and habitual skepticism Will influence your decisions and keep you in a constant negative loop. Look at the automotive industry for years They said you can't make an electric car that's viable. You just can't it won't go far enough The technology is not there. Elon musk came along and said bull. I think you can and when he did it Everybody started copying him. Okay, but they all had that negative outlook. Uh, and as I sit here right now guys I'm at the Cleveland clinic. I'm watching an emergency helicopter come into the hospital Um, and who knows what's happened Somebody's had something bad happen in their life if you don't have an emergency helicopter You know raising towards you or one of your family members. You should be happy What is it going to take to be happy? And that's another question I asked people What's it going to take and I want I want I want to cover that a little bit more in just a second Uh, let's see having survived a stroke. I'm grateful for every breath I take I try to pass that positive attitude by just saying thank you and have a nice day paul. That's awesome Thank you for doing that. You make the world better Um Paul also says thanks uh hit me up on facebook or messenger I'll do that. Uh tyan says, okay good Oh, okay. You were replying to uh paul. Tyam was she says hey at paul Where would you find the softest and best sweatshirts for po d? Okay, they're doing some work here That's a good tyan says i'm a sucker for murder mysteries. Yes, try to find positive and mundane every day Um, we need to learn that we are too blessed to be stressed In living with the attitude of gratitude All these things are good guys and as you say these things as you bring these to the forefront of your brain You're training your brain. You're doing it. Okay, so I want you to Uh, let it go let the negativity go stop letting negative things drag you down and limit your potential My watch keeps hitting me up here. Uh, it does it does limit your potential control your thoughts You aren't control your thoughts. You're the only one that's in control of your thoughts Centering on things that make you happy if you do that if you start feeling frazzled or stressed or distracted Calm your mind slow down Even pause what you're doing Take a moment and get into the reality of what's around you You know, you may be worried about what's gonna happen or what did happen.  Is it the nicest hotel room i've ever been to? No Is is it kind of dated? Yeah, should I concentrate on that? No I've got air conditioning. I've got light. I've got electricity. I've got health I've got clothes on my body. My son's doing well. You could focus on whatever you want But if you can't be happy in your moment right now When will you be happy? When will you be happy? Okay If not only for a moment stop and be positive clear your mind of all these negative thoughts Then get moving again On the right foot do what you're supposed to be doing Bring positivity into the moment every chance you got by practicing this mindfulness of this moment We're in this moment. How many of you actually stop and think about the moment you're in Uh and make a habit of this you stop your subconscious mind from doing the driving because you're subconscious My if you don't drive your mind your subconscious will and it's going to base it on bad experiences Okay, it's not going to base it on good stuff. I'm telling you you've got to control this having your conscious mind drive your decisions Will help you focus on your thoughts towards more positive balance approach. Okay a great way to do this is by asking yourself Questions, okay, and here's some of the questions. I want you to ask yourself. I think that are super important Okay, number one What can I do right now that will give me joy? What can I do right now? Now? I decided at Nine o'clock central daylight time. It's actually 10 o'clock here in um, a little past 10 in uh, Cleveland, Ohio I decided talking to you guys would make me happy And it does it makes me happy when I get a chance to talk to you guys. It makes me very happy What am I grateful for at this moment? Ask yourself that question right now and actually answer these as we're talking answer these I'm grateful that I had a safe flight here. I'm grateful that all my luggage got here My son's violin Is over there from high school. He's 27 now and he asked me to bring his violin And I bet he's going to be grateful for that. I'm grateful that I could bring it here and it didn't get lost or stolen Okay, so many bad things can happen that don't happen to us And yet we forget about all the good things that happen to us that we aren't thankful for Is there's something I can do to give someone else happiness right now? What can I do? You know, I've met a couple people in the hallway I had somebody brought me some food last night and I did what I could to make them happy I mean the room service person. I said is the tip already included And she says yes, it's already included I'm like, well, let me give you a little extra tip because I used to have to work room service I used to have to carry stuff up in people's rooms. She goes. Oh my gosh It's nice to meet somebody who actually was in the service industry I said I started off washing dishes when I was 15. I was a dishwasher I appreciate that person in the back of the kitchen that's washing my dishes so that I have a nice clean plate Do you appreciate that?  What is it? Is there something you can do to make somebody else feel good? Ask yourself that question Now ask yourself this question. How can I demonstrate my gratitude? How can I express gratitude on a daily basis by retraining your brain to go positive instead of negative You can change your outlook on life entirely now if you change your outlook on life You will change your success. You will change your success and you'll be able to handle your failures You will feel better And you will likely see improvements in your social and your professional life This is not just for business, but I want you to use it for business right now It's going to help you in your personal life too. Okay As I said before there have been numerous studies on the effects of positivity with the effects of positivity Ranging from improved immune response. Hey, there's there's that that illness out there I'm not supposed to say what it is, but there's that illness out there Maybe just being positive could protect you from that. Isn't that reason enough?   I had to be on an airplane Flying to cleveland You know what how grateful am I that I could afford To go and see my son in the hospital How grateful am I that I can be here to help him out? How grateful am I that I could afford to sit in first class and stretch my legs out? There was a time I couldn't do that You know, but if I was sitting in coach, I should be grateful for that too I should be grateful because I've got another day to do this stuff guys And if you get your mind wrapped around what I told you today Tomorrow when we start working on your business more and more and more And you run into problems which you will run into problems You're going to be able to handle them.  It can go negative at any point, right? My wife and I talk about it all the time and we try to be really super positive people and we pretty much are She wasn't as positive when I first met her and it was because of her brain training But she's changed it over the years and I constantly try to improve on mine. Let me let me see what you guys have been saying here Um, I like how you keep an uncluttered workspace. I think your space contributes to mindset with positive and negative Yeah, I don't believe in paper. Okay. I don't like paper. I think it's bad for the environment I lose stuff on paper. I don't write well on paper. I don't write well period and my handwriting is not that great I try to hurry and then when I try to hurry. I can't read the writing Um, and then I tend to stack it up So I'm allowed one spot in my house where I have a little bit of paperwork and it's behind this cubby in our butler pantry Um butler pantry that sounds so funny, but that's what is part of that else Um, and in the butler pantry, I have a little stack of paper stuff I've got to handle, uh, but I don't like to have all the clutter and paperwork everywhere. I just don't it's not something I like to have um Fall is one of those seasons for reflection and calming yourself in nature. Yes, it is fall is definitely good for that And so is winter and so is spring and so is summer Don't wait for a season Though that's a good point you made. I think it's a great point and and now that we're in fall If you want to start now start now, but if you miss fall You know, you can do it in the winter and if you miss winter you can do it in the spring But gosh, you got to do it. You got it. You got to be thankful. Oh my gosh I can't tell you how that has changed my success in life by just being thankful of other people When I go into a room of people who are really good at digital marketing. I don't go into that room and go Let me see who I can get to help me out. Let me see who I can learn something from I go into that room and go what can I do for somebody else in this room and not ask for anything in return How often does your brain go in that direction might automatically goes in that direction now automatically Um, when I see people who are strangers now it automatically goes to I hope they're having a good day Maybe I can make it a little bit better. Okay. It's not uh, they aren't doing the job great or they aren't good at this Or they aren't good at that or you know, I didn't like this meal It tries to go positive because my brain's just trained that way now And it makes me happy it makes me smile when I was a kid. I never smiled. I got in trouble I got in fights and got involved in drugs. You name it. I arrested all that good stuff But I was always negative and that's what I attracted was all these negative things and now I seem to attract good luck Everywhere I go everywhere I go doesn't mean I don't have problems It doesn't mean that you know things don't happen in my life You know my son's in the hospital right now and I'm trying to nurse him back to health, but he's gonna be fine He's a he's a tough guy Let's see here. I think every person who worked in food service. I appreciate the stress of service workers Yeah, that was very helpful to me because I was a I was a busboy. I was a waiter I was a dishwasher. I was a salad prep person. I was a saute person in the kitchen Uh, I was a bartender. Uh, I was a banquet bartender. I did I did a lot of food service stuff Uh, and you learn to Hmm appreciate how hard those people really do work Um, I love that you make time to keep time In touch with positive people like your older buddy in san diego. Oh, yeah, luigi's awesome You know about luigi luigi's like 80 just turned 87 He went to paris And I got to get back in touch with it because I talked to him right before he went to paris True every season has its perks when it feels best for different things Yes, uh, and all I'm saying is don't wait when I say that tie in whatever whatever season you pick is it's perfect It's perfect. It's all perfect. Whatever you do guys. I'm gonna leave you with that today. It's perfect Whatever you do is perfect. Let's say you did something and it wasn't up to par of what you wanted You did what you could with what you had give yourself credit You know, if you give yourself credit and you do good with what you have That's all you can expect of yourself. That's it. You can't expect any you can't expect more than what you can do Okay, I can't expect to do two thousand push-ups Right now. I can't do it. Well, I do it one day. I don't know. I don't know if I'll work towards that But the point is I'm happy with my 170 right now. I'm good with that. I'm very good with that I'm very happy about that. I'm happy that I can walk into my son's You know hospital room and say hey like your dad is getting up in years, but I'm still in good shape still healthy Because I work on it. It's not because it was given to me. I work really hard on that. Do I screw up? Yes, of course.  Of course I do but not all the time Do I overeat sometimes but not all the time not all the time? I will say my friend from High school, uh, he he had had a heart attack He has stents in and you know, he ain't a meal. He probably shouldn't have the other night Now there's nothing wrong with that.  Don't eat the whole cake Eat a sliver of cake, right?  You know Cut it down a little bit Just do that if you do that you're going to be okay And please when you leave this training today Matter of fact, if you would put something positive that you're thankful for today I want everybody to do that that's listening to this In the chat section If you're listening live put something that you're positive about put something that you're grateful for Just a matter of fact put two or three things if you could everybody do that Even if you're not watching this live, let's say you're watching, you know, the recording of this Put it in the comment section. This isn't just for me This is for you because when you write it down when you express it when you share it with the world It's going to come back to you It'll come back to you.  You weren't going to do that Which means your brain was going to go negative at some point during the day because it's trained to do so You're right for for eons. That's what your brain is trained to do We're trying to change that and if you notice the people who do really well in life And I keep pulling out elon musk. He's a very positive person Very very positive. He sees bad things in the world.  Have you put down positive things in the uh chat here? Have you done it? Have you done what I said? Are you going to do it if you're watching this as a recording? Will you put it in the comments? Are you going to decide to change? That's up to you. I can't I can't control that. Let's see. I had The queen's with him. What's going on? I had terrible job experiences. However, the worst bosses I had taught me the best lessons either directly or indirectly. Yes Yes, you know, um when I quit my job And I went to do online marketing The person that just drove me out of there the person I just really despised And he did pass away actually, uh, drank himself to death or drugged himself to death. I don't know what it was Uh, but if he hadn't been like that I would have stayed in that job if he was a great boss He was a nice guy and I would have just had a mediocre income, you know And I say mediocre I earned decent money, but I would have never earned what I earned now Never if he hadn't been that way. So I thank him. I thank him for treating me poorly I thank him that was a genuine blessing and disguise that he treated me poorly Because look where I am now. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for that negative individual. Okay Uh, let's see here. I want to read some of this. You guys are awesome focus on the positive Uh and make the most of what you have. Yes, this is from the queen is within Avoid negative people and that's why you keep your business to yourself The only people that need to know are the ones who give solutions very nice Paul Grateful for my wife.

Bemidji State is preparing for over 200 high school jazz band students to come to the campus for Jazz Fest. 11 bands from across the region, including Canada, participate in the annual festival to learn from each other and even some area artists. For this week's in focus, I got a sneak peek at some of the pieces that BSU's Blue Ice Jazz Band is preparing to perform. I thought it would probably be a good idea to go back to hit the ground running. Director Scott Goodry is hitting the ground running. After switching positions with Professor Del Lyron, he's only been the band director since the beginning of the month. If you're going to be directing an ensemble, you have to be familiar with all the titles that are in the library and there are hundreds and hundreds of titles that I need to get familiar with. His predecessor has helped him pick out many of the pieces needed for their performances. Right now, the band is actively practicing about ten titles. He also has many of the students to call on for guidance. The band has a very loyal group of students, some which have played in the ensemble for years. When I came here, whenever Jazz Band didn't conflict with my schedule, I was in Jazz Band. While many are quite involved in other music department groups. I'm in the wind ensemble and I'm also in brass quintet and then I do pep band here as well. And the most difficult part might be finding the time to practice. You have like your course load and then you have like all these other bands you have to practice for as well. It's rewarding nonetheless. You just make such great bonds with everyone and you get to know people on like a really personal basis and you see them every day which is great. Shelby Andrus says one of the highlights is being able to travel. I've been to the Jazz Education Network conference two years in a row now. So I was in New Orleans on the first week of January and I was in Louisville last year. Another incredible opportunity is the chance to play with emerging artists such as Tia Fuller and Corey Christensen for the festival. Tia has an incredible resume to her name not the least of which is her touring with Beyonce. So she has uh she's been a lot of places and played in a lot of great great places and played with a lot of great people. When it comes down to it, the best part is being able to practice your passion. I mean there's some pretty cool things you get to do in Jazz Band but mostly it's the playing you know it's the passion. And the festival will run from February 2nd through the 4th. More information about the festival can be found on our website that's lptv.org backslash news.

Listen kid's wife and automobiles a good start but getting caught is something else again Let me alone. Listen when you get out you come to see me. Wally Collins. I'll learn you some tricks So you won't get caught so easy. I can use a smart kid like you There's the kid get him out of there constable get him out. That's what I said get him out of there Now wait a minute. Mr. West. He's the kid the story of automobiles.  All right. Maybe you're not to blame but get that boy out of there I'll be responsible and see that he turns up in magistrates court Shortly after the turn of the century the place Washington DC Later that same day James E. West appeared before the magistrate and heard the charge against the boy Mr West this boy Joe is charged with stealing your automobile. That's right your honor and yet You're going to act as his counsel. Yes, sir. Well, it's rather unusual but proceed Joe come here I'm going to ask you a question and I want the truth understand. Yes, sir Did you steal my automobile? No, sir. I didn't thanks Joe You're on now hold on a minute Constable yes, sir your honor you found this boy in Mrs. West card, didn't you yes? And six blocks away from where you said you'd left it mr. West the boy says he didn't steal it I believe it. Oh, oh, he's lying. I am not I ain't lying. You'll be quiet young man How old are you 15 sir? 15 Mr. West I admire your attitude trying to help this boy But if you sat on this bench day after day if you saw the young scams that come in here day after day Yes, your honor day after day Why mr. West I'm not the one to give reason for juvenile delinquency. I judge the cases as they come before me Yes, I know you're not to blame. All right. Let's get back to this case The boy was found in your car blocks from where you'd left that's right your honor. Did Joe ever admit stealing it? No kid that comes in here ever did anything to hear them talk. They're all little angels, but there could be an exception We're wasting time my calendar's full. I'm behind schedule already mr. West This is a simple routine sign the complaint against the boy is not that simple your honor sir I've been patient, but I warn you that you'll be held in contempt. I'll risk that your honor But it's still not simple My signature on that complaint would mean Joe would be locked up as he was this morning in a cage with Adults men who've been criminals for years He'd be subjected to all their viciousness all their accumulated rot and filth He wasn't bad before he'd be when he got out now. Mr. West is 1904 But I went back 200 years when I saw those prisoners in that that cage this morning be careful, mr We've all got to be careful careful of these kids the boy stole your auto. I'm not so sure your honor constable Yes, sir Joe was in the auto he was Joe why were you in the automobile? I I just wanted to see what it was like I've never been in an automobile It looked like fun. So so I got in and it was so much fun that he had it six blocks away So how did you get that far? Well some other kids came along and gave me a push Listen to that, but you didn't start the engine did you Joe? No, sir. I didn't Your honor, do you have an automobile? What's that got to do with this? Please? Do you have one? I had one of the first in the city good. How do you start it? Why with the starter plug do you leave it in your automobile? Of course not neither do I here's mine Joe couldn't have started my auto and I submit that he couldn't have pushed himself those six blocks Constable was the engine running when you picked the boy up He could have turned it off, but he couldn't have started it without the plug It's a fishy story. I think it's the truth. Don't you your honor from the evidence? Yes, but it doesn't alter the fact that he was sitting in your car your honor Automobiles are new. Maybe maybe you and I would have done the same thing get in sit behind the tiller pretend daydream well Perhaps mr. I think that's all it was your honor. Well all right Joe, I hope you appreciate what mr. West has done for him. Oh, yes, sir. I do All right case dismissed. Can I go home now? I'll go with you Joe And thanks your honor one moment mr.

You don't know what it's like not to have no mom or pop to live in an orphan asylum Let me out of here. I want to go wait. Please mr. West joey that big central staircase in the orphanage Are the steps still pretty hard to keep clean? Yeah, but in the big window in the hall that tree outside still poke in when the leaves come in the spring How How do you know all that joey?

Of course not poor youngster He looks as though he's been put through a ringer sleeping now Well, we're taking back to the orphanage soon as he wakes up and has something to eat maryon I'm not going to take him back not yet But jim sit down a minute listen to me What is it? I got to wondering about kids kids like joey How many of them are there like him? Thousands but the orphanages they do all they can sure but take a kid like joey He's lonely maybe knocked around Full of dreams that get stopped before they're started So one day he climbs into an automobile just to pretend Some other kids come along and to them it's funny to give joey a push and joey ends up accused of being a thief Jim that's all cleared up now joe's all right. Look how many joey's are there? We don't know about A kid pulls a prank that ends up Well, not so funny after all he's arrested Comes up with an adult court in front of a judge whose calendar is crowded who has to judge by the evidence You can't blame the judge then I didn't say that dear But if there's nobody to take the kid's party sentenced treated the same as a man of 40 or 50 And by the time the kid's 40 or 50 he's been pushed around enough to feel that everybody's against him There's your criminal. I know that jimbo. What can you do? What can anybody do about it? Fight that kind of thing exactly what I'm going to do Oh, what's the matter darling?  You can't let anything stop you and I I thought we were going to be married Yes, is there anything to stop us? No, I'll need help marion and encouragement Mine more than anyone's Jim Did I sound a little selfish before? No sure not If I did it because I love you I'll marry you any time you want jim Is that you? Ah, it's me darling How's mrs. West? I'm fine dear, but I thought you were never coming home It was a long day Darling you look tired. I am Tramping into offices seeing people talking talking talking getting no place getting no encouragement I suppose they don't even listen. Oh, they listen. All right Lawyers judges they agree, but they can't do anything either The courts are set up to handle all cases establishing a special court would take new laws that would take a long time I know Maybe it's a losing fight marion. No No, it's not I'm afraid you married a man who's a dreamer. No, I didn't jim. I married a man who's going to the top Please darling, don't be discouraged through the top It's a long climb And I don't And what What we're gonna say Marion The top There's one who listen who will help me if anyone can't you've gone to everyone you've driven yourself into no, there's one more Marion helped me write a letter right now. But dinner's ready dinner can wait. Help me write this letter to whom jim to the president Theodore Roosevelt Mr. West I've read your letter several times. I'm delighted to speak to you. Thanks, mr. President I wrote you about joy a boy who might have ended up a criminal in a few years time because of a prank But he didn't mr. West I know but joy was lucky sir lots of kids his age aren't I've visited court after court, mr. President They're crowded with children like joy who need individual attention They mustn't be thrown in with a common run of lawbreakers older men at just a moment I want to ask you a question before you go any further. What is it, sir? Don't you believe there are bad children? That's a hard question sir, but Suppose the child is bad. Why don't we learn? Why what made him that way? How? Well, sir right now our courts can't give individual attention to children. They haven't got the time to To go back and find out what made a kid steal a bicycle or break a window or Any one of it doesn't other things that brings a child into court But then your point is we should have specialized procedure A special court for jubilee. That's it sir where a kid can talk talk without getting confused all mixed up Because he's hurried through and it's not the judges for mr. West a court such as you suggest would mean new law laws we need sir congress adjourns in a week There are a hundred bills to push through already But mr. President we can't afford to ignore this problem any longer. It'll grow and grow. Yes, I know Mr. West when I was young I was sickly weak I fought to overcome my handicaps But there were people who helped me And now it's my chance We'll set up a children's court right here or now in the district of columbia Make it a model for the rest of the country right now You mean Now you wanted action. Well, you'll get it. It's a bully idea Oh, by the way, your law business mr. West Is it good? I just started and what i'm doing sort of sidetracked me, but now that it's settled out You'll go right on Mr. West That court will need a judge. You're just the man for it Judge of the new children's court You are listening to of such as the kingdom starring henry fonder as james e west on the cavalcade of america Sponsored by the dupont company maker of better things for better living through chemistry James e west believing that juvenile delinquents are a special problem Convinced president theodore roosevelt that a special juvenile court is needed As the second part of our story opens.

Here read this newest article. I'll tell you this man west knows what he's talking about Jim three months of these articles and we've got the whole country talking about your idea now I'm going to the top again to the president I've been reading your articles jim They're great marion and I worked hard on mr. Roosevelt and now what next? Mr. President, how much does congress spend on the care and study of animals animals? What's that got to do with your work? Just this sir We spend millions on cattle, but not one cent on the care and study of children That makes us sound like a nation of fools. No, sir. We're careless. That's all We think because we live in the greatest country in the world We can afford to sit back and say sure everything's all right. Everything's fine But it isn't But what's on your mind a conference on child welfare look here What you're doing is bully But there are a million things right now forest conservation bureau fisheries oil reserves minerals everything coming up at once Forest fish minerals oil What good are they if our children are shoved aside? There are real assets the only ones worth counting you're right jim mr. President You gave me action once before can I get it again? You certainly can The cabinet is going to think i've gone crazy They're waiting in there for me to talk about states rights Instead i'll give them a lecture on kids rights sure go ahead jim call your conference. I'll attend it myself It's a bully idea Before this conference should study take into consideration all the problems of child welfare Not tomorrow or the day after but starting right now May I ask a question mr. West? Certainly mr. Valentine Do you believe that our orphanages and charitable institutions are not taking proper care of the children? What do you mean by proper care? Well food clothing shelter as good as they can yes But do you believe those three things are all a child needs? Well, it's all we can do mr. West it isn't all we can do child welfare must be organized Organized to make every effort to see the children get homes homes mr. Valentine not just shelter Ladies and gentlemen, it's up to us to give every child a chance at the opportunity offered by america What they do with that opportunity is bounded only by ability and ambition No one has ever questioned your sincerity your knowledge of the problem But private charity and public institutions serve children long before you began this crusade Establishing a child welfare program now would be difficult. I'm not sure this is the right time We are not organized sufficiently to act No, mr. West. This is not the time since when do we put a time limit on progress in this case? We must Sit on jim, please They didn't understand maryon They just didn't understand they will someday jim.
