Yeah, they're that song. TOUCH! Oh, all right! I got it! You didn't know it was loaded, did you? Diego, that's not nice.  Never gives up at anything that is put in front of him. I started noticing that my son was not breathing well after activities. And, you know, as a parent, you come to that conclusion and you go, OK, well, something is not right here. And the first thing you do is go, wow, this is really happening. It really started with allergies. That's where that was the first step, was that he was coughing. He was always reacting a little bit more severely to the common cold. It always went to a different level. And we just found ourselves in a doctor's office right away. And there was just a lot of medications to see them giving him all of this medication, inhalers, and steroids, and allergy medicine, and nasal spray. I mean, everything. That was when I started googling. Diego's our first. So as parents, there's not much that we know. We started with an allergist who our primary doctor referred us to. And he basically just said, you know, he's going to grow out of it. Let's do some allergy testing. So it started with just maybe the pricks on the arm and the pricks on the back. But for two years old, it was always very traumatic. The testing was very traumatic. And it was very inconclusive. He just wanted us to come back every six months. We were like, well, we're ending up in the ER or the doctor's office every month. That's when Santiago was able to find Dr. Natalie for us. Diego, I diagnosed with moderate persistent asthma along with allergies and allergic rhinitis. They were concerned about Diego's cough, his inability to be able to keep up with his peers when he wanted to run around, especially with soccer. He's a big fan of soccer. The biggest concern was, you know, is this going to be a lifelong thing? Would it prohibit him from activities going forward in school and sports and beyond? So that was one of the major, some of the major things that I got from Mr. and Mrs. Borgia. Well, the doctor's going to be in here. He's coming in, but guess what? No shots. No shots. This morning, we're in K-Humnadian Children's Hospital in Neptune, New Jersey. And we're going to meet Diego for the first time. He doesn't know I'm coming, so it's going to be a great surprise. We're in a little two-box here. Two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two, two. Hi. Good morning. Hi. Hi. Do you know who I am? Yeah. Who am I?  Yes. Well, and you must be Diego. It's so nice to meet you, man. Hi, I'm Luis. Hi, I'm Lauren. Lauren, nice to meet you. Santiago. Santiago, Luis. Nice to meet you, guys. We were just talking about you. Were you really? What did you say you wanted to do? I want to score on you. You want to score on me? You think you can score on me? I think you can score on me. I love the confidence. It's awesome. That's what you were just talking about. You like playing soccer, Diego? Mm-hmm. What else do you like to do? I like to play tennis. Nice. And how old are you? Five. Five? Very cool. Do you guys live in the area? Mm-hmm. Yeah, we live in Ocean Port. OK. Right down the street. We were just talking about the game. We were watching the other day, right? Did you watch the game? Did you watch the game? What was the score? 1-0. 1-0, OK. Yeah, so actually, funny enough, I'm really glad that I didn't come back with a team, because then I wouldn't have been able to see you today. They got held up in Orlando. No. I caught an earlier flight. Oh, wow. I had some stuff yesterday in DC, and then I drove up, so it all worked out. But were you surprised? Mm-hmm. Yeah? This is very not him. Really? I think Jeff could tell you. OK, so you had no idea, Diego? Mm-hmm. Oh, man, that's awesome. I'm doing some trick shots.  Maybe you can show some to me. I'm going to. I'm going to. Yeah. You're going to show him? Mm-hmm. So Diego, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself? Why are we here at the hospital today? Are you visiting a doctor? Yeah. Yeah? What's your doctor's name? Dr. Nautely. Dr. Nautely. How long have you been coming to this hospital? I don't know. I think about three, four years, right? About three, four years? Yeah. OK. And do you like coming here? Yeah. Are the people nice? Yeah. They treat you like a king? Yeah. That's great. That's great. So what's Diego's story? We started noticing that he was not breathing to wear. He's just coughing. Coughing, quite a bit, analogies. And we started looking around, and it was a major ordeal, because we looked to New York. We looked down to Philadelphia. And by chance, we figured out that this location had a great staff for pediatrics. And we met with Dr. Nautely, who has literally changed Diego's future. And I don't say that very lightly. In the beginning, I would think that he wasn't coughing, so maybe I didn't need to give him, because I was afraid of all the medication I was giving him. And then he would have a bad episode, because I wasn't keeping up with it. And that's where Dr. Nautely really said, look, you just have to do it. Even if he's not coughing, he needs that one puff of the steroid to keep everything calm so that it doesn't act up. And then once I started, just this is what it is. Even if he looks 100%, he still gets his medication every morning, because that's why he is 100% because of the medication and the regimen. So you just stay ahead of everything. We have to stay ahead. Exactly. Those are Dr. Nautely's words as well. Well, I have a jersey here for you. What? What do you think about that? What do you think? I wore this jersey in a game actually a couple of weeks ago. Why not? So would you like me to sign it for you? Yeah, that's pretty cool. Isn't that awesome? Yeah. Have you been to a Red Bull game? No. Well, we've got to get you out to a Red Bull game. What do you think about that? Would you want to go? What do you think about going to practice? What do you want to do? It's for you there. I want to invite you out to train with us at the Red Bull training facility. OK. All right? And maybe there you can learn some more moves, and then you can squat on me. And then after that, you're going to come out to a game. What do you think about that? Good. Is that all right with you? That's great. I think you'll have a great time. I think it's going to be a wonderful experience for him and for his family. And it's going to set up, hopefully, memory in his mind. It's going to lead to years and years of good times and sports involvement and understanding about asthma not being a limiting factor in his medical care. Are you working on both feet? Yeah. Remember, you can't just have one good foot, right? You have to have two good feet. Yeah. Your right foot, your left foot. Yeah. So do it all.

The rule of charter Planning UK is making its way from all the other softer line and going asfreeth clubs to provide that services that could be enough for the flux of что roedd yn umbryddUND i unsiŵr. Felly, we have a substitute for Findlay Carson, where she is saying how important she is in making deals to those programmes so that she costs terrible office workers and so that they know what to put off and make the money enough toganwad them for the future. We have no interest in declaring it, convener. Our first item of business today is to decide whether to take item 3 in private. Are members agreed? Thank you. Our second item of business today is consideration of the sea fisheries amendment etc regulations 2022. I refer members to paper 1 on page 3. Under the protocol between the Scottish Parliament and Scottish Government, the consent notification has been categorised as type 1, meaning that the Scottish Parliament's agreement is sought before the Scottish Government gives consent to the UK Government making secondary legislation in devolved competence. Does any member have any comments on the consent notification? Please raise your hand or type an R in the chat box if participating remotely. Is the committee content that the provision set out in the notification should be included in the proposed UKSI? Please raise your hand or type N in the chat box if you do not agree. Otherwise, I will presume that members are content. Finally, is the committee content to delegate authority to me to sign off a letter to the Scottish Government informing it of our decision today? That concludes our business in public. I note from the exchanges between myself and the convener on 12 January that the convener said, we wrote to George Eustace and got a response. Unfortunately, he was unable to attend on that date and we asked, but I am confident that we will be able to have him in front of us at some time in the near future. I am therefore wondering if the committee was subsequently able to reach Mr Eustace to appear to give evidence and if there is an explanation of why the committee has not been able to hear from Mr Eustace and whether there is any update on when we can expect him to do so. We do have a date that is set for the 18th of May. He will be appearing in front of the committee on the 18th of May. That is my understanding that it has been set. That concludes our business in public and we now move to private session.


A politician and elected official may be that, but may not be necessarily a leader. A doctor may be your doctor, but may not be your healer. And today, we have the luxury of time and space with one another. And yet, we may only have 12 years before Mother Earth may have irreversible, and already has, but damage that we may not be able to ever counterbalance.  When we meet again next year, identify courage. Courage that is in your own work, in your colleagues, in your spheres of influence, in your creativity. Of those who are not part of compartments, categories, elections, but those who are fearless and courageous, because we only have a dozen years left. And that is those people who may lead us. I'm a new part of the Lenape Center. I was just brought in board as a co-director recently. And one of the things I've been thinking about in that role, I mean, I'm a longtime musician and a composer. But climate change, I'm feeling the same urgency about climate change. And for myself, one of the challenges is to, you know, what can I do as a music composer using my voice in music? But I started thinking about something else, too. Like, I mean, I've done what I can do individually. Like, I have all the lights in my house are LED. I recently installed, everything in the house is electric. So I've installed, you know, solar voltaic. So I'm running my entire studio and my house off the sun. So I'm not, I'm off the grid in Wisconsin. Wisconsin uses 100% coal burning for electricity. And the thing I noticed personally about having solar power now in my house is that I never paid attention to the electricity before. I would leave a light on or leave my computer running. And now I know if I do that, I could run out of power. I have batteries, you know, but I'm paying more attention to what something uses. Like my refrigerator, how much energy is my refrigerator using? And sometimes I hear it kick in and I run into the other room and I'm looking at my panel like, how much has it gone up? And so I'm much more conscious of what's going on in my own house.  I want my entire Indian reservation to go off grid. So how do we do that? You know, I'm the first solar powered building on the entire reservation. And you know, and I'm thinking, what, you know, what are we waiting for? So there's kind of an urgency there. And the other thing I noticed is that I haven't been paying attention to it. So I'm thinking now that one of the ways to do that would be sort of through immersion. It's almost like, you know how people learn languages, right? People learn Ojibwe and they want to revitalize Ojibwe. So they take classes and summer classes in Ojibwe language. But to really do it well, we call it immersion training. So you're learning language like Ojibwe, but you're learning math in Ojibwe. You're learning geography in Ojibwe. So everything's in Ojibwe. And I'm thinking for me as an artist, that's where my mind needs to go. Just like I wasn't thinking about the electricity before in my house. Everything, my art projects, my musical life, and I think it applies to everything. So if you're in sports, the question is, what does sports have to do with climate change? If you're cooking and you're an architect, what is architecture? What's the connection to climate change? And to start to think about climate change as immersion and all of the different aspects that we do. So I don't know. I mean, for me, that's like my goal is to think how this is something we're living with now forever for the rest of our lives. It's not ever going to go away in our lifetime. So what do we do with it? And start to think not to push it way over here with science or weather. Or we have to create jobs first. We have to think about that first. And so we shove it way over there. But no, the solution is to bring it and put it into everything else so that we sort of are living and breathing climate change awareness. And how do we live with it all the time?  So I don't know. That's just my personal story as a composer and now part of this Lenape Center, which I just say is a wonderful organization. There are four co-directors now, a founding executive director and then four of us. So we're like the fab four in Lenape Center and all of us are different and we're, we have different strengths and weaknesses and it's exciting to see what we're doing. But our goal is to bring the Lenape people back into the city. Of course, Manhattan was not sold for $24 worth of beads. There was no sale at all. The land was stolen and we were all driven away. So we had also a Lenape diaspora. So one of the arts problems for us is arts and culture is to bring people back into the city, which is what we're trying to do. And, you know, struggling to create ourselves and think of all these issues as well with the arts that we have going on. And I'm very grateful to be a part of that organization and climate change. So I was just waiting for the music to start so we could start. So it's a two-part challenge. Identify courage and figure out immersion. How do we immerse ourselves and everyone else around us into it being one motion, all of it, everything that we are and everything that we do. That's our way forward. One is she.


Google Scholar is a search engine that helps you find scholarly materials such as books, articles from academic journals, court opinions, and the like. Here's the difference between Google Scholar and just plain Google. If I enter in the keywords Chernobyl and disaster in Google, here's the results list. Well over 12 million results. The top result is Wikipedia. We also see a few YouTube videos, history.com, and business insider. Some of these sources might yield you decent results, but if you're looking specifically for scholarly sources, you'd have to definitely tweak your search strategies. Different keywords, advanced search, maybe Google had a search for very specific types of sources. But if I type the same keywords into Google Scholar, my results look very different. Around 56,000 results, which is still a lot, but significantly less than 12 million. Instead of popular sources like magazines and YouTube, I've got the Journal of Radiological Protection, Social Science and Medicine, the American Journal of Psychiatry, and other academic research. The filters on the left allow me to find recent scholarship on the topic. And notice how because I'm on campus right now, Google Scholar and Western libraries are working together to help me access this material. If you're not on campus, you can go to settings, choose library links, and connect Western to Google Scholar. On the results list, you can also easily see other items that cited the source you're looking at. For example, the social impact of the Chernobyl disaster is a book that looks intriguing, and I'd like to see more like that. I might click the cited by link below the preview, and now I can see all the articles and books that used the social impact as their source. Or I can choose the related articles link to find more possible sources related to my topic. You can also easily search by author, if that author's name is a link. Let's select DR Marbles. From his library, you can see the titles of all of his books and articles, and the statistics on how his scholarship has been used. While not as robust as other research methods, such as one search, Google Scholar can be an easy and useful way to start out your search for credible scholarly sources.


Welcome into another Go Mustangs Sports.com post game interview with head coach Dominic Dawes as the Mustangs get I don't know if I would call it a program defining win But certainly the biggest win of the young season a 5-4 win over a top right I had eight right eighth ranked Utica squad coach It seemed like it was a different squad coming out at the second period first period seemed like it was a little rough For you guys, but you guys came out in the second period took it to him. What was the message at first? We needed to find our legs. I mean, I think everybody knew going into the period We just didn't we were slow. We came out slow. We didn't really do what we wanted and kind of flip the script Didn't really have to honestly didn't really get into it too much I think they knew me walking into the room what You know we didn't have it so It was great that we flipped the tide and then you know kind of that second period was the whole complete opposite So that's that's on them second straight game with a short-handed goal What is it about playing short-handed you guys becoming more comfortable with it? Is it just taking advantage of breaks? What is it?  You don't I mean that's a That's a throw pocket the net, you know, but bad balance bad turnover You know, it's just a little bit of puck lock But you know what our guys credit is we've been out shooting teams and in hounding teams and early on in the year And even go back last year we didn't we didn't have that puck lock and now We're finding it so that's big you just talked to Chris It talked about with him how you guys really stayed out of the box by and large and didn't put yourself in adverse Situations too often tonight. I had to imagine that was a big message throughout the night Yeah, I mean discipline is always a message and I mean special teams has been a big part of our game all year I mean we've got one of the top power plays in the country right now and you know You want to have an opportunity to play on the power play and you know, don't give the other team that chance So and we knew that's a good. This is a good team over here That's a good a good you to team that's about on the top of the league for the past couple years and You know to give them chances. They don't deserve that's we can't do that All right, go get Nazareth tomorrow. We'll talk to you tomorrow post game. Thank you You


Ryan, when it comes to the players that benefited the most from this trade, Julio Jones leaving Atlanta going to Tennessee, which player has the biggest impact on fantasy because of the trade? Yeah, well, I think definitely the biggest, the biggest benefit of this as a benefactor of this trade would be Calvin Ridley. I firmly believe that he's going to be locked in to the production. He's going to be a guy that you want to get on your rosters. So he's the stud that I would target from the Atlanta side. I think from the stud side from the Tennessee standpoint, I think we do have to look at Julio here, who people might be able to talk themselves out of. You know, it's Ryan Tannehill, 230 yards passing per game. You know, you don't think of this team as a passing attack. So I think there could be leverage to be had there if you're able to get Julio in the fifth round or later. And then as we talk about some sleepers, I've talked about Russell Gage a ton, so I don't want to beat the drum too much on him. But if I'm not looking at Derek Henry in this offense, okay, so let's look at his backup. Darrington Evans, this guy was a top 100 draft pick in the 2020 draft, 93 overall, I believe, to Tennessee. And he's a pass catching back. Now, we know in Arthur Smith's offense that he, you know, he likes the lead back. He was going to give them a ton of work once to establish the run. And, you know, I think that's what got people excited about Mike Davis' outlook when they didn't bring another back in. But when we're looking at, again, Todd Downing's offense, we go back to the Oakland days when Marshawn Lynch was there and he was a 31-year-old back. So he was on, you know, the back half of his career, but they had DeAndre Washington, they had Jalen Rashard, and both of those guys were getting pass catching work out of the backfield. I think they both saw over 30 targets. And when you're looking at the death chart, there's nobody behind Darrington Evans. He's getting, you know, hype around Travis Etn and Joe Mixon, you know, running backs who are seeing work at wide receiver in OTAs. And so I think he could fly under the radar.  Even if you don't have Derek Henry, I think that Darrington Evans might see the field a lot more than people expect and not much after him on the death chart. So really excited to get some shares of him now in this offense if I'm not getting Derek Henry, which I probably won't be. Amazing hearing that Derek Henry could actually see less action out there on the field due to this trade getting Julio Jones over to the Tennessee Titans.


Hi, my name is Christian Hernandez from the Cloud Platforms Business Unit over at Red Hat. In this video, I will be going over how to install OpenShift 4.2 on Google Cloud. It's important to note that installing OpenShift 4.2 on Google Cloud is currently under tech preview. Full support will come when OpenShift 4.2 goes full GA. Going over the installation, you will need to keep these key things in mind. You will need access to a Google Cloud account. I will be using the GCloud CLI tool, and I recommend you use it as well. A billing account tied to your Google Cloud account. To install OpenShift, you will need a CLI tools. This includes the OC binary and the OpenShift install binary, a pool secret to install OpenShift, and a DNS domain. This DNS domain can be bought directly with Google, or you can delegate it to Google. I will also be going over any prep work and any gotchas along the way. Let's begin. Before installing, we need to verify a few things first. Go to try.openshift.com and click on the Getting Started button. This will take you to the login page. Go ahead and log in with your Red Hat account's username and its corresponding password. This will take you to an infrastructure provider page where you can choose different installation methods. Since we're using Google Cloud, I will click on Google Cloud. Please note that clicking on Getting Started takes you to the official documentation. I'm going to need the installer, so I'll click on Download Installer. I will need my pool secret, so I'll click on Download Pool Secret. And I'm going to need the command line tools as well. This includes the OC and Qubectl binaries. Going to cloud.google.com, click on Sign In to verify you have access to GCloud. Enter the email address associated with your GCloud account and proceed to log in as normal. Click on Console. Please note that I will get an error because I do not currently have a project in this account. One thing you need to verify for your GCloud account is that you have a billing account associated with this. Go by navigating to Billing and note that you have a billing account associated with your account. Next, you're going to need the GCloud CLI. You do this by visiting cloud.google.com slash SDK slash docs. There you'll have information about installing the CDK depending on your environment. Once you have these things in place, you're ready to get started. Before you continue with the setup process, you need to initialize your GCloud CLI tool. You do this by running GCloud init. This will ask you to log in and authorize GCloud for your account. Once that process is done, run GCloud config list to verify connectivity. I will be making use of environment variables in order to make the CLI process a little easier. I will be setting GCP underscore project variable equal to ocp4-on-gcloud. I will set GCP underscore SA to ocp4-sa and GCP underscore domain to gcp.redhatworkshops.io. I will be installing OpenShift in the US West 1 region. So I will go ahead and set that as my default region. Once that's done, I will set the US West 1-C as my default zone. Once I've got that in place, I could go ahead and create my project by running GCloud projects create command. Once this process is done, I will set my GCP underscore project as my default project. Verify this by running GCloud config list. You need to enable the APIs for your project in order for you to do the installation. The APIs that need to be enabled are the compute engine API, the Google Cloud APIs, the Cloud Resource Manager API, the Google DNS API, the Identity and Access Management API, the IAM Service Account Credentials API, the Service Management API, the Storage Usage API, and the Google Cloud Storage JSON API. Also, since I will be linking my account, I will be using the Cloud Billing API as well. Next, you need to link your billing account to your project. You do this by running the following command. Note that GCloud Alpha Billing is an alpha command for GCloud CLI. I will run this in a script. The setup of the APIs can take some time, so I pause here and come back when it's finished. Once the APIs have been enabled for your project, go ahead and create your service account by running the GCloud IAM Service Account Create command. The service account is responsible for creating components inside of Google Cloud, so I will go ahead and assign it the owner role to my project by running the GCloud Projects Add IAM Policy Binding command. I already have a domain bot through GoDaddy, so I will just delegate a subdomain to Google Cloud. To do this, I will run the GCloud DNS Manage Zones Create command at specifying the DNS zone. I will go ahead and run the Describe sub-command in order to get my DNS servers for this domain. Please note that I've been assigned NS-Cloud-C1 through C4. I will need to put these entries inside of GoDaddy. Inside of the GoDaddy zone configuration file, I will go ahead and add these by clicking Add, selecting Name Server for the entry, and then adding the subdomain GCP. I will specify all four of my DNS servers. Once those four are in place, go ahead and go to the GCloud UI, navigate to the IAM and Admin quotas page. The default quotas isn't sufficient to install OpenShift 4, so we're going to need to bump these up a little bit. Since I will be doing the install in the US West 1 region, that's the only region I would need to modify. I select US West 1, and I will look for the Compute Engine API CPUs and Compute Engine API Persistent Disk SSD quotas. I click on Edit quotas and provide Google contact information in case you need to get a hold of me. For the CPU quotas, I need to bump this up to 32 CPUs and for the SSDs, I will need between 800 gigs and 950 gigs. For the purposes of this video, I think I will go with 950 gigs. Enter information on why you need the quota bump and click Submit. The quota bump can take some time. Google says anywhere between one to two business days, so I will pause here and return when the quota has been lifted. Once you get the notification that your quota has been increased, the changes will be reflected on the G Cloud web UI. Please note that the quotas are region-specific. Switching over to the terminal, I'm going to verify that the DNS delegation has been properly propagated. I will need to store my service account credentials locally for the installation. The installer is going to look for these under my home directory under the .gcp directory. I will use the G Cloud CLI to download and save my credentials in this directory. Next, I will need to create a directory to store all the OpenShift install artifacts. Running the OpenShift install command will ask me a few things. First, I will pick the SSH key. Next, I will choose the GCP for the platform. The project ID should be cached. Next, I would choose the US West 1 region. My base domain that I added. For the cluster name, I will choose OpenShift 4. And my pull secret that's in my coffee buffer, I will copy and paste it directly into the command. The install can take some time. So I will pause here and return when the install has finished. Once the install is completed, it will display information about your cluster. This information includes where the API is running, how to connect to your cluster by running the export kubeconfig command, where the web UI is running, and which username and password to use to log into the web UI. Go ahead and export your kubeconfig command the way it's displayed in the output. And run oc get nodes to verify connectivity. Notice that we installed three masters and three workers. Go ahead and run oc get sc for storage class to display your storage provider. And run oc get cluster version to display that you're running OpenShift 4.2. Jumping over to the web UI, go ahead and log in to the cluster's URL. Log in with the username and password it provided you in the output. Note that it's displaying the fact that you're running the cluster with a temporary admin user. Go ahead and navigate over to the left-hand side under Compute and click on Nodes. I hope you enjoyed this demonstration and invite you to try out OpenShift 4.2 Dev Preview on Google Cloud. Thank you.


Hi guys, welcome back to my channel. Today I'm doing my week 15 update of the Chloe Ting Challenge. Before this video gets started, I wanted to address something. I get a lot of questions. What plan do you follow of Chloe Ting? What workouts have you done each week? The first question is always what program are you doing? I pick and choose of what I feel like will benefit my body and I feel like I get the most out of it just because I like to do that. I like to have that control. And then second of all, I have a whole playlist that I have made up and in all of the videos I talk to you guys and show you some b-roll of everything that I've done the past week. So if you watch through the whole video, you'll know what I've done. So that kind of answers that question. If you want that playlist, it is in my playlist section and it's all of Chloe Ting's workouts. Now I'm gonna get on to starting with the weekly update of everything that I've done this week. So that shouldn't be a question in the comments. Anyway, so Saturday the 25th, I did the 30 minute workout. That's the 30 minute full body workout. It's the top of my playlist called workouts in all capital letters. And then I did the flat abs. I just kind of named it this in my head. It's the two week shred. It's part of the two week shred challenge. And it's like how to get flat abs in two weeks. So that's that video. It's about 10 minutes, I think. Then on Sunday, the 26th, I did the 15 minute workout. It's the 15 minute full body workout. It's, I think it's the third in my playlist. I'm not quite sure. And then I did the 11 abs workout. I named it 11 abs. It's basically how to get the 11 line ab definition in 10 minutes, in two weeks, something like that. On the 26th, I also did the toned arm workout. The toned arm workout is about 10 minutes. It just provides a lot of like arm workouts to do. And I find that one very beneficial. And then on Monday, the 27th, I did the 2019 shred full body challenge. It's about a 28 minute video. It is the hardest workout that I ever do with Chloe Ting. And I always choose to do that on Monday, just to really push it. I always have to do some of the modified exercises because I can't really do it. It's really, really hard. And then I did the 11 line ab definition. I really like the 11 line ab definition because it has like a wide range of exercises. I don't know, I just really like it. And then I did the bra bulge. So this is where she does all these workouts to work on people's like back fat in that little roll that lays under your bra strap. Really need that. And it's actually really benefiting me. It's amazing. So Sherri, Valerie and I are going on a walk. I just got done with my Monday workout. Obviously I'm not gonna vlog it because it's like in our neighborhood and it's a little sketchy. I mean, even though if you were to find where I live, which please don't do that again, that's creepy and weird. You get lost anyway. Sherri and I have actually gotten lost in our neighborhood. Everything looks the exact same. Trust me, you would have a hard time finding this place. Anyway, I just wanna document that because it's still part of my workout journey. We are going for a little stroll. That's definitely not high intensity, but it's still something. Tuesday, I do not have any footage because I don't work out on Tuesdays. Wednesday, the 29th, I did the 15 minute workout. It's the 15 minute full body workout and the love handle workout. The love handle workout is about 10 minutes and it's one of her newest videos. So I would check that out. It's really fun. Pretty challenging, but fun at the same time.   Thursday, I do not have any footage because I don't work out on Thursdays. And today, Friday, May 1st, I did the 30 minute full body workout, the back bulge workout, like the one that I just talked about. And then I did the booty workout. I love the booty workout. It's so challenging. Like my butt, I've never really done exercises like that, but the past two weeks I've done the booty workout on Friday and I'm hoping to get that little peach butt, you know? That is pretty much everything, like touching up on the exercises I've done. I think I'm gonna stick to this routine just because I really like it. I really like the different things that I've laid out for myself. And I find that it's beneficial and I see results or at least I feel good in my body when I do it. It's a nice balance is what I'm trying to say. So for updates, the biggest updates, there's actually two big updates, but one update, you're gonna get more detail on everything on Wednesday. So make sure you're subscribed. And if you haven't entered my giveaway, make sure to do so. I'll link that video in the description so you guys can see it. One, I had McDonald's for the first time in such a long time. It was so good. Valerie the night before was like, oh, I had McDonald's just so you know. And I was so mad that she went to McDonald's and didn't even like ask if I wanted anything. So the next night, Sharon and I are like, we're having McDonald's. And the reason why we picked out had our like one big fattening, really bad female is because we have started a low carb challenge. I don't recommend this if you're under the age of 18, don't have like your parents permission, struggle with, you know, body image and EDs. Like I highly don't recommend you do that. I'm not a nutritionist whatsoever. So I'm not promoting this. It's just a fun thing, the Sharon and I are doing. And so that's a really, really big update that is coming more on Wednesday. So make sure you're getting my post notifications. So when I release a video, you can see the transformation kind of, I also want to address my blue mat. My blue mat is so popular.  And honestly guys, I really like watching it move too. It's kind of satisfying because when I'm doing the exercises, I had this time lapse feature on this camera, which is amazing. So I don't really have to do a lot of editing when it comes to it, but I watch it too guys. It's really, really funny. Sorry, my refrigerator just turned on. So if you hear anything, it's that. Yeah, a lot of people wonder why I have a microwave and refrigerator. It's because I went to a university and I had this stuff. And then when I moved back home, there was nowhere else to put it. So that's a little short anecdote for you. I haven't gotten a lot of comments about this, but I just wanted to like put it out there. I know my form isn't the best, but in my head, I'm like, at least I'm trying. You know what I mean? Like at least I'm doing something and not sitting on my butt for half an hour more during the day. And I'm like getting up and like getting active. And number two, when we do, when I do like those things where it's like this, like, gosh, I'll put a thing on the screen so you guys can see. But when I'm doing this exercise and I'm going like down and up, I cannot put my hands like this. I'm trying to like show you. I can't put them like this and I know that's the proper way, but literally I don't think my body goes that way because it really, really hurts my wrist. I cannot do that. Moving on to the photos because I know that's what you guys wanna see. You might see a little bit more of a bigger difference. I don't know. I don't wanna put it out there and have people like, Alex, there's like literally no difference, but I feel a lot different in my body and everything. So here's the before and after photos. So on the left is Alex last week. On the right is Alex this week. And remember guys, during this time, I'm doing a low carb challenge. So that's probably why I probably look a little less bloated. So this is the side view of that. So Alex on the left is last week and Alex on the right is this week. And this is obviously my favorite part. These are the pre-workout photos compared to now. So Alex on the left is pre-workout Alex and Alex on the right is current Alex. And this is the side view of that. So Alex on the left is pre-workout Alex. Alex on the right is current Alex. And I must add, if you guys have any suggestions on some low carb meal slash food ideas, please leave them in the comments. I would love to know what you guys did. I know I got a few responses on Instagram, which is amazing. This one girl said cheese and salmon were like the things that saved her during it. Well not saved, that sounds more negative, but she gave me that. I have been eating a lot of salmon, so that's really good. If you have any suggestions, leave them in the comments. And I think that is about it for this video. So give this video a thumbs up if you enjoyed it. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel so you can see that Wednesday video. And I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye.


Pow, what's up everybody, once again it's Brandman Sean and today we're gonna go over why branding yourself too early can be a trap and I want to thank this video to the boy Kayola because he called me out, I was supposed to do it on a previous video when he was basically like bruh ain't shit in this video got to do with branding so when you want to think about creating a brand too early that oftentimes pretty much comes to let's just say an artist a rapper singer whatever they are they're starting to make music and then they want to commit and create this strong brand around a song or two that they made but they're early on in their develop at the beginning of something you're developing so quickly and you're changing so quickly you probably won't be the exact same artist weeks from now maybe even less what you need to do is follow the two-step process of branding yourself and being able to do it authentically in a way where you are comfortable with your brand not just with somebody from the outside say hey i could brand you right here cap and make some money off you kind of make you successful but you end up in a space and thought of by the world as something that you don't even want to be that two-step process goes as follows one experiment give yourself some time to experiment so you can get a feel so you can have that period of learning quickly and then get a feel for what things look like how you want to be what you like and then you can understand number two commit where you want to commit and say this is your brand for the time being experiment commit even look at me in this channel personally when i first created this channel i was doing a lot of experimentation i'm still doing a lot of experimentation so as much as you hear me talk about branding and marketing and those things you don't see an incredibly strong visual brand inconsistency yet why because i still have a lot to learn about what i want to do with this how i want to do it because i know i already have the information but it's about how do i want to go about it and understanding that so when i was having thoughts about branding really only about two months into me seriously working and experimenting through these videos i almost messed up because only a month and a half later i have a completely different perspective and i understand a lot more how i want to go about executing videos in the future i have a lot more of a vision now it's easier to bring around a vision as opposed to just branding randomly and then hopefully trying to fit some kind of vision into it in the future it's okay to start putting the work in and letting people know about it but when you really say hey now about the brand myself branding is a commitment and when you decide to make that commitment you have to realize and remember that brandy is based on perception over time it's not something that's going to happen overnight but don't let any of that stuff scare you because there's always room for evolution and becoming something new and you can even do it quickly if you use certain tactics which i did a video on for ways to change your image quickly something like that that's it y'all know what to do hit that subscribe button


Growing up in Sweden I thought of the forest as a place to hike and hunt, a place to collect firewood and berries, and to harvest timber that we use to build our houses. In the 1980s, when I was studying forestry at university, we still saw our forests primarily as a source of timber. But then scientists began finding evidence of climate change and how forests mitigate that climate change by absorbing and storing carbon. And there's more. They're also an important home to biodiversity. They provide food and income to millions of people around the world, and they collect and filter rainwater used to irrigate farmland as well as to supply villages and cities. We know all this, and yet more than 5 million hectares of forest are being lost each year. In today's world, where the competition for land and our demand for food has never been higher, what policymakers need is watertight research. And that's where we come in. CIFOR's global team of scientists are researching every aspect of forestry and landscapes, by providing evidence of the contribution of forests to humanity. I'm Daniel Murdi Erso. I am a CIFOR scientist. I became interested in forestry growing up in a very poor forest community here in Indonesia. I began researching mangrove forests in 2010. We spent several months climbing through this mangrove, taking measurements, collecting samples for analysis in the lab. It was worth it. We discovered that mangrove stores four times the amount of carbon stored in other types of tropical forests. Of course, they also protect coastlines and provide food security. When we made this discovery, half of the world's mangroves had already been cut down. So it was critical that our research reached the right people as soon as possible. So my team worked with our communication team to get the message across to policymakers, scientists, NGOs, and through the media to the general public.  I'm Amy Dushel and I'm a CIFOR scientist. As a 19-year-old biology student, I traveled to the Amazon to study tropical ecology. I realized then that these forests were home to extraordinary biological and cultural richness, but that they were also being threatened by multiple interests, such as unsustainable logging and cattle ranching. That's when I knew that this is what I would be doing. I'm now heading up a team of regional researchers looking at the impacts of climate change mitigation programs on Amazonian populations who make a living from the forest and the surrounding landscape. We're looking at the ways local governments and NGOs are using incentives and disincentives to persuade communities to use the forest more sustainably and analyzing which interventions are working best for both people and forests. We'll share this concrete data with regional and national governments, helping them to make informed decisions that should work better for everyone. It's hoped that CIFOR's research, both in the Amazon and elsewhere, is informing people and governments to manage landscapes in a more holistic way, where social, economic and environmental objectives can be achieved. My name is Philippien Kangoum. I'm a political scientist based in the Central African Regional Office. I'm a research fellow. I'm a legal logging and forest certification. My name is Ted. With more than 200 scientists across the tropics and the largest body of global forestry research, CIFOR provides decision makers with evidence, evidence that they can use to improve the lives of people, safeguard the environment and ensure healthy forests for future generations.


This is stock number 9137, a 2008 Ford F450 crew cab, long box, duly, Laramie. This vehicle has the 6.4 liter power stroke diesel motor from this HD video. You'll be able to tell that this truck is super clean all the way around. Probably one of the cleanest 08 F450s left on the road. And you'll be able to tell from this HD video, so if you have HD capabilities, turn them on now, because it's like you're standing right here next to the truck with me going over everything. Continental HSR 22570R 19.5 tires, about half the tread left, maybe a little bit less. Those are pretty heavy duty tires though, very hard compound on them. Hood is in excellent shape, I didn't see any dents or dings on that. All the chrome in the front looks like it's in pretty good condition. Factory fog lights. The only thing I noticed on this entire truck, one tiny little ding in the front bumper, but other than that, you'll be amazed at how clean this thing is. The passenger rim is in really nice shape as well. And as you go down this side of the truck, you can see just how clean the body is. How reflective the paint is. We take these HD videos, so if you are far away, or even if you're close by and just cannot make the trip down, you can still see the truck, hear the truck, and have confidence in the vehicle that you're looking at before you even get here. This dually tub is in excellent shape. Didn't see any rock chips or anything on it. Whole cab of the truck is in excellent shape. Didn't see any dents or dings on the doors. The lower rocker panels are in excellent shape. The back rim is in pretty good condition as well. These tires have just as much tread as the front tires. See, the frame and underbody on this truck is pretty close to new. It has a camper package right there with the anti-sway bar. That's what this thing is right here. And as you go underneath this truck, you can see just how clean the body is. The underbody has the skid plates with the off-road package. Frame and underbody, absolutely perfect. Look at those lips. Not one speck of corrosion on them. It has the factory chrome step bars. If you are looking for an F450, Larryit, 08, this is the one. I mean, it's about as clean as any truck comes, whether it's from 08 or 2018. It has locking tailgate, tailgate step assist. Saw that works. You just kind of lift up on this piece. Slides right out. This piece goes up like that. And you're all set to go. Very easy to get into the bed. Very easy to put away as well. Just goes in like that. Lift up on the handle here and goes down. Very nice spray and bed liner. It has a goose neck turnaround hitch. Also has the wiring for the bed. Then we got a sleeve up there for the receiver hitch. Rear bumper is in absolutely perfect condition. And as you go down this side of the truck, just as clean as a passenger side, I can't stress enough how clean this truck is. Just inside and out. All the rockers are just absolutely perfect. These doors are in excellent condition. It has the power scope mirrors. This is the first year of these power scope mirrors. So they power fold in. They also power telescope out. And then you got memory driver's seat, power windows, power locks. We got auto headlamps right there. Inside the Lariat package gives you the gray leather interior. There are no rips. There are no tears on these seats. Both of these seats are heated and power. Just absolutely perfect condition on these seats. Carpeting is very clean. It has factory floor mats throughout. And inside this truck is as loaded up as you can get. Only 31,446 miles on this truck. Cruise controls. You got your Bluetooth, or I'm sorry, no Bluetooth, but your audio controls on this side. You have turned out four-wheel drive traction control, backup sensors. This truck has never been smoked in. The cigarette lighter has never been used. It has power pedals, power sliding rear window. You have the factory navigation system. It has the six-disc CD changer in it. You have the factory subwoofer in back. Dual climate control, heated seats. You have four up-fitter switches, and there's your factory brake controller. Passenger seat is absolutely perfect. It has a power sunroof as well. And then you get home link up there for your garage doors, security systems, and lighting systems. Take a quick look at the back seats. You'll be able to tell they're just as clean as the front seats. This whole truck was just very well taken care of from new. If I remember correctly, it's a one owner. Obviously, some place they didn't have salt for how clean it is. It has the steel load floor, which is really nice. If you get tools or muddy boots or something, you can put them on there. They're not going to wreck your seats. The carpeting throughout and back here is very clean. Also, factory floor mats back here. And then behind these seats is the power subwoofer, or the factory subwoofer, I should say. Also, the power sliding rear window. Take a quick look under the hood. If you thought the rest of the truck was clean, under here is just as clean, if not cleaner. 6.4 liter power stroke diesel engine bay is very clean. It runs very smooth.

Another day, another Ticketmaster complaint.  I want a refund with my money. I've been waiting and patiently and it's annoying. No. But today we're going to solve it. We're going to talk about five reasons why you can't get a refund from Ticketmaster. Let's dive into it. What's up, guys? My name is Shreds. You're on Thumbs Up Run where we talk about buying tickets, selling tickets, and making sure that you have all the fun with your tickets. Today, like I mentioned, we're talking all about Ticketmaster refunds. The five reasons why you cannot possibly get that refund back and we are going to adjust them all to make sure that you get your money back immediately.  Let's begin. Number one, the main reason why you cannot possibly get that refund back from Ticketmaster is because you bought your tickets from a secondary marketplace. You did not buy it from the box office, you did not buy it direct from Ticketmaster. Whoever the primary marketplace was, you did not buy your tickets from there. You actually bought them from somewhere else. Yes, you may see the tickets sitting in your Ticketmaster account. You may say, yes, I have spent a lot of money to buy these tickets, but unfortunately, you may not have purchased them directly from Ticketmaster themselves. And that, my friends, is the first main problem. When you're trying to request a refund, you may have just gotten an email from Ticketmaster saying, hey, the event has been postponed, it's been rescheduled. Go ahead into your Ticketmaster account to go ahead and request that refund.  I can go ahead and just mosey on over there, click a few buttons, click, click, click. Unfortunately, it does not work that way. No, no, no, don't be so silly. It doesn't work that way because you actually have to be the person who made the original purchase of those tickets. The tickets, while they're sitting in your account, you were not the one who originally purchased them. You bought them from somewhere else. You bought them from StubbHub, Vivid Seeds, TickPick, SeatGeek, one of the other many different places you can go ahead and buy tickets from, and unfortunately, you were not the original owner. Therefore, you cannot go ahead and actually request that refund. If you go into your account and try and request a refund for tickets that you bought from somewhere else that were eventually transferred to you, unfortunately, when you go in, it might actually show you a refund value of $0 or make an error or you just won't be able to see it at all because, like I said, you didn't buy the tickets directly from the box office, directly from the primary market. You didn't buy the original, original set of tickets. But what you can do is try and go ahead and reach out to the various secondary markets where you buy your tickets from, see if they're offering any refunds. But what I would like to point out is that if an event has just been postponed, unfortunately, the chance of you getting a refund is 0.00000% from resale Marketplaces. All sales are final. So unfortunately, if the event has only been postponed or rescheduled, those tickets will still remain valid for the newly rescheduled date if and when it is announced. So unfortunately, you will not be able to get a refund on those tickets. So if you didn't buy your tickets directly from Ticketmaster or from the primary marketplace, unfortunately, you will not be able to get a refund. All right, number two, the next reason why you cannot possibly get a refund from Ticketmaster is because you actually have your tickets listed or have sold them already through Ticketmaster, Ticketmaster Plus or one of the Ticketmaster directly integrated partners. This concludes Stubhub, SeatGeek, other places, anywhere where we have barcode integrated events. If you've sold these tickets already or you have them listed even, you unfortunately will not be eligible to go ahead and get that refund. If you try and go ahead, you will either get an error and even if it lets you go through the entire process of hitting the big button to say, yes, I want a refund, once they review the request, they're going to say, hey, these tickets are available for sale. Unfortunately, we are not going to be giving you a refund because we don't want to be giving you a refund when we know that these tickets might actually end up getting sold. Someone might end up buying them, paying some money. Then we've got to deal with all the other hassle of trying to then repay them back and repaying you back and repaying everybody. It's not. Therefore, if you tried to sell your tickets or if you've already sold your tickets and they can see it that it's been sold, they're not going to allow it to happen. No refund for you. So if I get that refund back, gotta make sure you do the following. One, you got to make sure you get those tickets delisted. You do not want them listed. You do not want them to be able to be bought or sold while you are trying to get that refund request because one, Ticketmaster is going to say, hey, these tickets are listed for sale. Therefore, they cannot give you a refund. You're still trying to sell them. So no, they're going to deny you. And then two, you don't want to be in the position of even if you haven't listed and Ticketmaster doesn't notice it, you don't want to be in the position of having those tickets eventually getting sold after the fact when you already requested that refund and got your money back.  So you'll have to fulfill that order somehow and you might be stuck trying to find tickets to fill that order. And then you're going to have to pay a penalty and then your credit card is going to be billed. It's going to be a problem. You're going to go crazy. No, no, no. We don't run out of that. We don't want any stress. Just, just unlist them. Unlist. Now, unfortunately, if you've already sold the tickets, a couple of things. One, if you sold tickets directly through a Ticketmaster, you know, integrated partner, whether it's Ticketmaster Plus or through Barcode Integration with StubHub or others, unfortunately, you will not be able to go ahead and request that refund. But again, you will still be able to get paid once you do deliver those tickets to that secondary market. So again, not the end of the world. You'll still get your money, but it is tied up, unfortunately. Okay. Number three and third reason why you aren't able to get a refund is because you've transferred your tickets to someone else. So what happens here?  You end up transferring tickets to everybody so they can all have them in their phones. Everyone's all excited. They got their tickets in their hands. Everyone's all happy. And now we see the situation we're in. You want to get your money back. But unfortunately, every individual, like I said before, the tickets didn't belong to those people. They have to come back to the original owner. The original owner is the only one who can actually go ahead and request that refund. So tickets need to come back to the original buyer. Who's the original buyer?  Therefore, all the tickets need to be transferred back to you. You are the only one who can request the refund. Therefore, everyone needs to transfer the tickets back to you.  Therefore, you need to be on top of everybody to make sure those tickets come back. If the individuals who have those tickets in their accounts are trying to request them, they'll get the same issues before the refund value will be $0 to start crying, start complaining, say, hey, where's my money? I want my money back. How do I get my money back?  Here's what you got to do. You got to send me your tickets back to me. And if they say, how, how can I possibly get those tickets back to you? You sent them to me. They're in my account. I don't know what to do. It's not possible. All you got to do is click over here. Send them to this video. If you click this link up here, you will see a complete step-by-step guide on how to go ahead and actually transfer those tickets. Even if they screw it up, there's still a way to cancel it and try it again. So again, it is essentially foolproof. Just send them up there. They'll go ahead, follow the steps, get the tickets to set back to you. You go ahead and make the request, get your refunds back, send the money back to everybody else. Everyone is happy. You are the hero. You are the champion.  And everything is fantastic. Now, once they've transferred those tickets, be sure to let them know to hit the like button down below. It helps out a lot. Okay, we're flying along here in number four. The number four reason why you are not able to get that refund from Ticketmaster is because you missed the window. You missed the deadline. You missed the timings. You got to know when you can actually go ahead and request that ticket refund and when the deadline ends. If you miss the window, you don't get that refund. Nobody gets their money back. Everyone is angry, furious, frustrated. It is just the end of the world. Don't want that to happen. So, let's do a quick refresher, shall we? Let's discuss. There are events that are postponed with no rescheduled date and events that are postponed with a rescheduled date. Very simple. When the rescheduled date is announced, you have 30 days to make the request to get the refund. If you don't make the request in 30 days, you keep your tickets, they keep your money and life goes on. Now, if you want to make a request, you got to do it within those 30 days. If you missed that 30-day window, unfortunately there is no other option for you except to hold onto those tickets. So, do not miss that deadline. Now, other side, if you have an event that has been postponed but not yet rescheduled, then a new clock starts. When it's not been rescheduled, it basically means they have 60 days to announce a new rescheduled date. If they do not announce a new rescheduled date within that 60-day time frame, then only then, at the end of those 60 days, will a 30-day refund request window open up for you. Again, you have to wait 60 days before you can go ahead and start the 30-day window to request that refund. And just to make things just a bit more confusing, if an event has been postponed with no rescheduled date and within those 60 days, they announce that there is a new rescheduled date, the 30-day window will begin as soon as they announce when that rescheduled date begins. Again, if there is an event that has been postponed and not rescheduled but then it is rescheduled within that 60-day window, the 30-day window to request that refund starts as soon as they announce that date. Easy, peasy, lemon squeezy. Super simple, right? If you are confused, let me know in the comments below. I will get back to you. It is not as complicated as it sounds. I think I might just be using too many words. One thing on the note here, again, with these 30-day windows, you do not want to miss them. You do not want to be late. Therefore, if you're someone who has transferred out tickets to other friends and family and friends and family and other people and whoever, you gotta make sure you get those tickets back. You gotta get them into your account because only you can make that request. Therefore, tickets need to come back into your account in time. If you tell them that the deadline is ex-date, you might actually wanna give them a few days earlier, just to make sure they don't miss it.  Just a little bit. Now, number five word of the last reason you can't possibly get that refund from Ticketmaster, is because the event just hasn't been postponed or canceled. I mean, if it hasn't been postponed, there's no way for you to go ahead and make that request because unfortunately, there's just nothing you can do about it. It's all on the event promoter, the event organizer, Ticketmaster, whoever's putting the event on, they are the ones who make the final decisions. So what's gonna happen is you're gonna find out that there's gonna be events that are happening in the summer, something happening in the fall, happening in the winter.  I know it, you know it, they know it, everybody knows it. But until they make that official request saying, hey, the event has been officially postponed, there is no refund request window opened up. So what do you gotta do? You just gotta pay attention, you gotta stay patient, you gotta wait, you just gotta wait, just gotta wait, wait some more, wait a little bit more, maybe a little bit more. And then after all that waiting, then you'll say a little bit more. And then once they announce it, then you can go ahead and actually start making those requests. A lot of event organizers, what they're probably trying to do is waiting, hoping and seeing if they can actually get that event to go on, really, really, really hoping it's gonna happen. But unfortunately, we know, you know, I know, we all know that they're not happening, not anytime soon at least. So unfortunately, you're just stuck waiting for them to announce the official postponement date. Then, and only then, are you able to actually go ahead and make that request. So until that time comes, you just gotta be patient, you just gotta wait, you can go ahead, take a look on your account, see if it's been updated yet. Go ahead and take a look on Twitter, Ticketmaster, social media, anywhere, just look everywhere, look and wait and see, try to get all the information you possibly can, but unfortunately, just waiting.

You know, you build them up in the way that the rules were in the spring and then now you're out here and you're getting into the full speed reps. They know what the expectation is when we talk. You have a team meeting every day and then out here, a lot of it is, is pushing them and trying to get them to understand how we want to practice. And it's new. Any time you have changed, things are different.  You know, it's fresh, it's new, and it's a challenge.  And, you know, I think guys have done a pretty good job of that the first couple of days. Style and the way we practice. There's a certain way we want to operate. You've got to get in the condition, you know, no matter how much you've run. It's always, first day, you're doing all these football movements. There's nothing that quite prepares you for it, other than practice and getting through these first four days. Coach Miff do a good job of having to teach tempo and fast tempo and just straight relentless. I'm still learning. I'm still learning. You know, this is my first year with Coach Miff and, you know, but I trust him with the process he got going forward, going forward. And I'm going to go all in about it. I see we can fight through anything. Get your pad level down. Come on, football. There we go. You've got to be in good shape. We've got to build their legs up and you've got to prove it every year. Can we improve? Are we better? You know, going into September 12th and we are today, there's going to be growing pains along the way. And that's everything you need. You need that to the team to improve. And so we're better going into September 12th. It's as simple as that. People are going to be guessing about what we're doing, but at the end of the day, we're going to stick to our core values, you know? So I just feel good about it. I feel good about it and I know we're going to be able to get people here. We talk about it all the time. The lockers that we have, they're not owned, they're rented.  You've got to go out there. You've got to put in the work and make sure that they're not putting a different name plate on top of it.  Guys are starting to separate themselves in terms of, you know, a push through things, starting to add up. We're trying to challenge them. We're trying to see who emerges. There's really good competition going on. It was it was fun to see today. These guys are competing in this year that is going to be all about newness for this team. One of the most important things is these guys coaching staff players, showing us who they are as quickly as they possibly can. Who are they? What do they look like? What is the offensive identity? What is the defensive identity? Can we at least get an idea of what what they are and what they're attempting to be and that vision to build upon? From myself, the head coach, Arthur Smith, it's an inclusive process and it's it's our team. It's our decisions and it's going to be our season. I'm excited to see when we get to week one and week two, what they've got under the hood here. And they're going to work to win right now. We're not here to rebuild. We're here to win.

Okay, you know, whenever there is a reaction, you know, to anything, it doesn't really matter what you're reacting to, or how intense the feeling is, how minor or major it is, there's a reaction that's occurring. And then Asus was saying, what's really going on for me? What is my lesson in this? To just stop at the reaction, or try to figure out the reaction, or analyze the reaction, or talk about the reaction, or whatever, is not going to really bring about the healing. So that's what all of these stories have started off with that. And Asus was describing it so descriptively, and then coming much further inward, where it's like, okay, there is a lesson for me here, if I'm contracted in any way, you know, there is a big opportunity. She sues you to get to the bottom of it. Okay, here's the reaction. All right, all right. You could spend a lot of time talking about the reaction, analyzing the reaction, and talking with other people about the reaction, and yet it's really, I think we're hearing it. It's a great step to bring it inward, and that's what Sue was doing, saying, okay, then we bring it in. You say, well, what's really going on? I must have made a decision deep inside that was not with the Holy Spirit, for there to be such a reaction.  I'm deciding to this. I'm deciding for exactly the way that I'm feeling. Nobody's pushing my button. Nobody's really making me feel this way. There's nothing outside of me that's determining how I'm feeling. It's a decision. And once you can bring it in to that point of seeing that it's a decision, then you're so close to letting it go. You know, you can't really let it go when it's still out there as a reaction, when it still seems to involve Christian or a talk about a woman breastfeeding an eight-year-old or something when it's out. There, there's no hope at that point. It's twice removed from the correction, and the ego is quite happy with just the reaction. But then you bring it in to that point, and you really get in touch as Sue's was this time. I must feel that I'm worthy of love, you know, that's getting down to the core of it right there. Unprotected, unmasked, you know, really looking at what that is. But I've chosen to leave love, and it doesn't really matter whatever the reaction was. It can be a wide range of reactions that starts with that decision. So, you know, when we're getting down here, Frank's really saying, let's get to the, let's hit the nail on the head, let's get to the core of it, that once you can get it inward to the point of just seeing that it's a mistaken decision that you've made, that's when you finally got into the position where you can let it go, where you can give it over to the Holy Spirit. You can't give over a reaction that you think is still outside of yourself.  Let's find this woman. Where is she? What's her address? Let's call her on his cell phone. We'll pass the phone around. Everybody will give her. Tell her what for. What are you breastfeeding an eight-year-old for? Stop it. You're going to do damage. Blah, blah, blah, this child will be hurt for it.   So we're not really going to find a solution if we look at trying to, you know, change something and form like that old TV thing, you know. Do not adjust your set. The problem, you know, when they first intended on TV, they had problems with television. The problem is not in your set. They were having trouble broadcasting, but we can apply it to the spiritual journey. Do not test the knob on the TV. Do not test the remote. The problem is not in your set. It's a set-up. The ego has made a big, giant set-up, and the mesmerism is so thick that it's easy to forget that it's a big set-up. Or there's that movie, Fifty First Dates, you know, that I showed a clip from where, you know, she has short-term memory problem, and she keeps thinking it's the same day over and over, and then she gets her dad and her brother. They all play along, you know, because if they adapt to her distorted perception, that's the same day. That's people pleasing to the max, you know.  Oh, we've already got one. Yeah, got it out of the freezer again. And, you know, let's watch The Sixth Sense. Okay, like for the 100th, 200th time, you know, watching the same movie over and over, and you can start to see that same dynamic played out in your lives and your relationships when you kind of say, oh, mom's just that way. You've got to be real careful and gentle with mom, you know, because she's just this way.  We don't want the explosion when mom or dad, their anger comes up, so we'll just walk on eggshells very carefully. And then when you start to do that with interpersonal relationships with your partner, it gets really dangerous if you have an explosive partner and you just kind of tiptoe around. There's stress that builds up.  Oh, oh! Ah! You're not ready to do that. You're not ready, you know. So, these dynamics are all really important for us to get into because these people plays and it's so sneaky.  You're following into the egos version of sweet and kind and nice and you'll pay the price at some point when this unconscious guilt just comes up into awareness like the Loch Ness Monster just pops its head up and then it's like, oh, I need a therapist. I need something, you know. It gets very intense. I'll do that. Well, if we just go over the steps again, first you have to look at the projection. If you went into any good psychotherapist, the psychotherapist wouldn't say the world's not real. I mean, it would be, I want my money back. You're being too rude to me. If you would go into a psychotherapist, they would say that. Or even to put it more in psychological terms as you walked into a psychotherapist and the psychotherapist said, you are completely delusional and completely insane and you are completely mistaken. Again, okay, give me my money back. That's too, no, it's not helpful. But it's interesting, the Holy Spirit, like a good psychotherapist has got to join with everyone who comes in and mainly through their attitude teach what they would learn, which is that we really are free when we are tuned into our source, when we're tuned into the spirit. We are free and we are not deluded and we are not at the mercy of anything or anyone or the ego. So you might say the advanced psychotherapist is peaceful.


Hey Co-Friends! I'm Bianca Renee, and you're watching Bianca Renee Today, and today we're going to have a little story time with my friends here. This is Golden Graham, he's from the Arctic land of Costco, and y'all know Brianna Cheney, she's here again. She's from my last video about Barbies with curly hair. Now in that video I talk about how important it is to have this type of representation for kids growing up. We're going to stick to those same lines today, but this time we're going to talk about curly hair children's books. I am obsessed with these books. I never had any curly hair books growing up, so I'm so happy to see that these exist, and I just had to share them with you guys on my channel today. So when Brianna heard that I was going to be reading curly hair books, she got a little excited and asked to be in the video, so that's why she's here. The first book I want to talk about is Afro's Braids and Curls, ABC's for Curly Girls. This book right here is amazing. This was written and illustrated by Daniella J Lopez. She's actually a visual arts teacher, and she said that she created this book because she didn't really start to learn about her natural hair until she was an adult after she big chopped, which is a very common theme amongst black women. So now she wanted to create a book that would show off her natural texture at a young age so that maybe other young kids can see this and relate to their curls as kids instead of waiting until you're an adult. So this book is literally all about your ABC's. It's a different word for each letter of the alphabet. For example, A is for the afro that I wear like a crown. B is for the braids I wear that never make me frown. C is for the curls and coils that spring back into shape. D is for detangling. E is for ends. L is for logs. M is for massaging my scalp with conditioner or shampoo. These are important curly life lessons that these kids are going to start learning at a young age, and I just love this. This book is really good for kids of all ages. I mean, I'm not a kid and I'm still enjoying it, but if you can get this book from tallgirldanny.com, it's also available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble, but I'm going to put all the links to all these books down below in the description box. The next book is called Don't Touch My Hair. This title alone, how we all can order or relate, how many times have someone touched your hair, maybe even grabbed your hair without even asking. Well, that's exactly what this book is dressing. This is by Cherie Miller. I'm just going to read this little author's note here in the back. It says, many people feel uncomfortable or disrespected when others touch their hair without permission, though Arya, the main character in the book, struggles specifically with people touching her hair in this book. This is also a story about personal boundaries and what I would like to be used as a tool to teach the importance of asking for permission first. I hope that after reading Don't Touch My Hair, children can learn the importance of asking permission and of not being afraid to say no and not being afraid to hear no too. So let me read you a couple pages of this beautiful book with such an important message. So here's Arya, her hair. She loves it up, down style. She doesn't care. But then she says, actually, everyone loves my hair too. When I walk down the street, I hear so many compliments. It's so big. How do you get it so fluffy? I wish I had hair like that. What does it feel like? It's great that people love my hair, but some love it so much they want to touch it. I don't like this. Now she's like literally running away from all these little hands that are trying to touch her hair. They are so curious about my hair that they try to touch it without even asking for permission. So then little Arya is going through it trying to hide from these people trying to touch her hair. She's hiding in bushes. She's trying to go underwater, but the mermaids want to touch her hair. The animals want to touch her hair in the jungle, and she's literally on the moon. And aliens are trying to touch her hair. So it's a really, really, really cute story that talks about an important topic that many people don't really take seriously or don't understand that is a problem. So yes, I mean, I understand. Our hair is very cool. It's big. It physically bounces. But this teaches how important it is to ask first before you just start grabbing people, especially ones you don't know. And it's usually strangers that want to touch your hair more than people you actually know. And that's just weird. So this is such a fun book that I know kids and adults can relate to. And it's a little important message that our kids should know going to school. So this is just one of Shreve Miller's books. She also wrote another book called Princess Hair. And this book talks about all the different types of hairstyles that we wear in the natural hair community. So it says all princesses wear crowns, but underneath their crowns, not all princesses have the same hair. So she talks about puffs, she talks about twist outs, dreadlocks, teeny weeny afros. Like she little hits on just about every black hair style that we have in here. And it's just a really fun illustrated book. The pictures are really cute. And another very educational book for young girls growing up. Both of these books are available on ShreveMiller.com. Once again, I'll put the links down below in the description box. You guys got to check these out. The next book I want to show you is called My Hair is Puffy and that's okay. This book was written and illustrated by Nicholas Smith. And this one goes a little bit deeper than just hair. It also kind of touches on diversity. So the main character here is Puffy. She is Princess Puffy. So this kid has a really big imagination. Then she talks about this other princess called Strawberry Plum Princess who has spider silk hair. So Puffy is looking at this princess' straight hair and then she decides she wants to try her hairstyle too. So then she asks her mom to press her hair. And she says maybe this was a bad idea. Then on the next page she says it came out nice though. I decide the silky hairstyle is okay. It's nice to have options. But then on the next page she says but then I thought about the queen. And then she asks her mom that has big natural hair. And I decided once and for all my massive Puffy hair is okay too. So this one is really cute showing her trying straight hair which we all have tried at some point. And then her understanding that her straight hair is pretty but her natural hair is pretty too. The story then continues with Puffy and her very diverse friends. I love this photo right here. It says Kim and I are best friends. And her friend Kim has long straight hair. This picture right here is low key representation of me and my best friend Cindy. If you guys have seen Cindy on Instagram she has long straight Rapunzel hair and then I have big Puffy curly hair. So this is pretty much just me and my best friend right here. But the artwork in this book is just beautiful. I love all the characters, all the different ethnicities of kids at her school. And it's just showing you all the different types of people in the world and that it's okay to accept people that look different than you. The author and illustrator of this book, Nicholas Smith, said he was inspired to create this book because of the very small percentage of books out there that have a story based around a character of color. This book is available on Amazon and also on his website, nicholas.art. I'll put the links below in the description box. This one is another great read. One more book that I want to mention. Unfortunately I couldn't get here in time. I ordered it too late. But it's called Sunny Days by Jessie Bird. This book isn't necessarily about having curly hair, but the main character, Martine, is a little girl with curly hair and a natural disaster does hit her neighborhood. So she spends the whole book trying to help everyone in her neighborhood get back on their feet. So it's a really sweet story that shows how one person, big or small, could really help people in their community just by being helpful, hopeful and creating a small yet positive impact in their community. The author, Jessie Bird, said the inspiration of this book was the fact that his family survived Hurricane Katrina and this book embodies the themes learned through that experience of resilience, hard work and the importance of a positive perspective, despite the unfair things that can happen to us in life. Sunny Days is available on jessiebcreative.com and also on Amazon and those links will be down below. So there you go. How amazing are all of these curly hair books?
