Right, thanks so much. A word of warning in advance. Today is the day my neighbour has conveniently decided to drill lots of holes in the wall right next to my head, so I'm hoping he is stopped for lunch and you'll actually hear me fully. So I'm going to be providing a brief overview of some of the results based on applying diatoms as a tool for reconstructing dogland's pale environments. As highlighted by Ben and by Martin, you know, we are in the early stages of synthesising a lot of this data. I've tried to incorporate some of the results from many of my paleoenvironmental colleagues who are accredited at the bottom of this slide, but again, we are looking at provisional data and I also have to put a disclaimer, I apologise in advance, I also have lots of diatom diagrams and I'm nowhere near as good as creating diatom diagrams as Ben is, so they look a little bit rubbish. But in light of the, you know, the size of the audience, I wanted to in the first instance highlight, you know, introduced diatoms, not everybody may be familiar with what these little critters are. So very briefly, these are single-celled photosynthesising algae that are found in almost every aquatic environment, whether you're looking at freshwater lakes or open marine settings. They secrete what's called a frustule, a solicitous skeleton, and it's often very well preserved in sedimentary archives, particularly mineralogenic archetypes, so these are things like muddy sandy deposits, not as well preserved in peatlands as we'll find out about. They thrive in peatlands but their preservation is limited over time as that peak gets buried. They are also really useful because they're very distinct and you can see a few images on the right of your screen showing the morphological variety in terms of the shape of these little critters. And I think it's also useful to appreciate scale. To date, we've, you know, especially with Marty's presentation, we're talking about very, very large scale reconstructions. We're going into the micro now, similarly with the pollen. Ben, this is here on the right-hand side is a genus actinophicus and marine plankton taxa, approximately 100 microns in diameter. And so there are a thousand microns in a millimeter, so you'd line 10 of these little critters up to make up just one millimeter on your ruler and your desk. So very, very small. The great benefit of diatoms is that they've had very specific environmental requirements, which mean that certain taxa will be encountered in certain aquatic settings, whether that be fresh, brackish or marine, if we looked at salinity as an example. We can go into more detail and I'll allude to this in the presentation because we can talk about life form as well. Some taxa live floating within the water, these are planktonic taxa. Others live attached to or within the substrates underlying the water, which these are the benthicks. And we also get a bizarre group called the tycoplanktonic taxa that sometimes are associated with the benthic realm, that can also be found in the floating in the water column. Now, we can then go into further detail with them, especially with the benthic taxa. So these are the ones that attached to or living on the substrates, because different species would quite prefer different types of substrates. There are taxa associated with aquatic plants, such as epiphytes, which are called the epiphytes. We have epipelic taxa. These are the little critters who like being attached to or living on muds, very, very fine-grained sediments. There are also aerofilis taxa, and these are taxa that are adapted to being irregularly flooded. So that could be on the margins of a lake or more often than not in the intertidal zone, if we're looking in coastal settings. And then there are epiphytsamic taxa, those often attached to sand grains, which are more common in things like riverine settings. So we've seen this diagram quite a few times already in terms of the location of many of these cores that were extracted as part of the project, and I'm going to be focusing on a selection of cores within this area, Ben alluded to as well. And I'm going to try and provide a generalized summary of the results. There's been a lot of analysis that's been undertaken, but I'm just going to broadly divide them into two groups. First, I'm going to explain two cores that have been identified as having late glacial freshwater deposition sequences. And then I'm going to talk a little bit about some of the cores that have very valuable sequences that show a transition from peat deposition into the development of more established coastal environments with the transition appearing to be relatively uniform across the area of around about 9,000 years BP. And considering the aim of this project is to understand doglands and its eventual loss to the advancing seas, it's a really important part of this project as well. So if we were to start off with basically a walk through time, we're going to start off with the oldest sequence that I have encountered, which contains diatoms and indeed contains other lovely little things to contribute to our understanding of the late glacial period within doglands. And Ben and indeed Martin alluded to L34 and Ben indeed commented on the one section of the sequence. So one thing that I would like to acknowledge is the outstanding work done by John Whittaker, who again Martin highlighted did a rapid assessment of every single core to give us an approximate understanding of the overall water conditions that prevailed for many of these sequences. And John encountered through his initial ostrich on the forearm work that the basal section of this core was full of freshwater ostriches. He also found an abundance of open or estrine taxa within the overlying minogenics and in between we have this relatively thick one meter peak units, which we are now finding a lot of information about as this project progresses and indeed work is still underway. Some provisional radiocarbon dates and an assessment for diatoms identified a relatively discreet 30 centimetre section which had diatoms in them. There were none above none below and radiocarbon dating provides us with a relatively reliable signal. Now just this is bearing in mind that Ben's talk was predominantly on the upper section going into the peak. I'm looking a little bit earlier, so we've got slightly older dates. But for at least for the section of this core in which diatoms are present, we can be confident that this accumulated between approximately 16,000 and 14 and a half thousand cal BP. And if accurate this place if accurate this places this period of fresh water deposition into the late glacial stadium, which occurred between 17 and a half to 14 and a half. And for those to give context for those individuals who may not be familiar with this, we are looking at the very cold period prior to the onset of climatic warming. This is just one of the Greenland ice cores and it shows temperature essentially through the oxygen isotope record. So this whole thing here is cold and then we go into these warmer periods subsequently. But the diatom record seems to be focused only on this late glacial stadium episode. And the onset of peak deposition is currently dated to between or to around about 14 and a half thousand. And again, some modeling needs to be undertaken on this to give us a secure understanding, but we're confident with the dates, but this would suggest that the peak deposition then it becomes initiated during the windermere or bonding, depending on which term you want to use or GI one, which then suggests that within the peak that overlies it, we also have the potential to preserve the younger driest and also the Holocene. And this is reinforced by the fact that we have a date of the peaked into estuarine deposition around about 9,000 years BP. So we have a meter sequence that has the potential to span quite a considerable period of Earth's history, a quite important period of Earth's history, considering the retreat of ice sheets and indeed our understanding of dogland as we move through the lake glacial into the early Holocene. So this is one of the lovely diagrams that I'm sure you're going to detest, primarily because they're so small and it makes it very difficult to read half of the little names on them. But as Ben highlighted, it's looking at a vertical profile food sedimentary sequence. I've highlighted a couple of the key radiocarbon dates, and indeed diatoms are restricted to the basal section prior to peak deposition. But just to highlight the interest that we're looking at here now, we've got this, all the work is ongoing due to the delays, as we're all familiar with, but we have a potential to have a sequence that could a peak sequence in fact. This is an organic sequence that could shift through the entire lake glacial into the early Holocene. And it's reinforced by the fact that some of the work that David Smith highlighted has identified a small but suitably interesting beetle signal within a number of the bulk samples that were taken that indicate cold climate. So we are relatively confident that we have a conformable sequence, and indeed the radiocarbon dates also show conformity throughout. So it's going to be really interesting to hear this develop over the coming months and indeed next year. So we're going to focus just on this joyous signal down here with some provisional results. Yes, trying to explain a single diagram like this in 20 minutes is difficult, but I'm trying to get going to get through three or four of them. So again, we highlight the the radiocarbon dates. We're looking at the low most section about 0.3 meters. The uppermost date infers that we're looking at around about the onset of the windomere and stadial here, and the radiocarbon dates allude to this being in the Greenland Greenland Stadial prior to warming. We have a relative abundance of what are known as these taiko planktonic taxa, and through much research these taxa are often associated with the ice cover in Arctic late glacial sequences. It's reinforced by the fact that there are no planktonic taxa, and I'll talk about that shortly. There's no planktonic freshwater taxa. The subordinate grouping are the benthic taxa, and as highlighted with these little arrows, there is an increase in the taiko plankton and a decrease in the zone, and the benthic taxa, specifically this little critter, gerosigma tenuatum, decreases and then increases, mirroring the increase and decrease in taiko plankton. And towards the top of the signal, we have this increase in some benthic taxa associated with the organic fragments and organic remains. What's really bizarre is the fact that there is a small but sufficiently significant signal of marine plankton and brackish benthics. They are in low numbers, but in terms of preservation, they look genuine, but this is something that we're going to talk about as well. But it's also worth bearing in mind the elevation of this core depth. The top of this section is around about minus 18.9 meters OD, and we are looking at 14, 15, 16,000 years ago, a long time ago, and quite high elevation. I also want to highlight some of the other work. Ben's alluded to the abundance of dwarf pollen juniper. Then there's these aquatic taxa, the water mill foil and bulrush, some reflection in the matros within this section as well, primarily aquatics and marginals. And of greatest interest, and this is how proxy work or proxy analyses always work, there is a relative abundance of ostracods in the section beneath where my diatoms are encountered. And the low-emote sample has some David Horn has done some neutral climate temperature reconstructions to infer that the low-emote sample could have wind temperatures of minus 21. And slightly higher up, again, just below my section, wind temperatures are still cold, not as cold, but minus 10. So we have very, very cold climatic conditions immediately preceding the section in which diatoms are encountered. In summary, the most common diatoms present are a mixture of these tycoplanxon with a smaller amount of epipytenic helon. There are no freshwater plankton species. Now, the majority of the tycoplanxonic taxa, known as the inner group of fragilarioids, are most often associated with ice cover, and that's supported further by the presence or the absence of plankton. And these fragiloric species are able to colonize habitats, such as the littoral zones of lakes that have seasonal ice cover. We're not talking about permanent ice cover, I don't think, because we have all these plants in the close proximity that's being alluded to. And the dominance of such species has been found to be characterized, characteristic of many lake glacial sequences in northern Europe. We then have these shifts between fragilarioid species and other benthics, which are likely a response to the variations in ice cover, seasonality of ice cover, and then which in turn affects mutual supply and the openness of the water around these margins. And then we have the climatic amelioration, due to the onset of the windermere, would result in ice melt and the re-establishment of open water conditions, and enabling these other benthic taxa to become more typical, and especially the abundance of epidemias, these epipytes that are more often associated with plants, immediately prior to the onset of the windermere interstatio, or during the transition. The presence of marine brackage taxa must be considered, and I think the most likelihood is that we have a economic issue here. We have reworking of older sediments. If we take into account the elevation and the lightly position of mean sea level 16,000 years ago, we are some considerable distance away from the likely coastline. However, as Martyn's alluded to, we are still as of yet fully able to understand the extent of crustal movements, glacial-ice static rebound, and understanding the more localized geomorphological variations to fully discount other factors, but it's very likely that we will have pre-existing earlier sediments that could have been reworked to provide this small but consistent signal. Deep breath, moving quickly on. Elf 51 is located at the southernmost section of this southern valley that Martyn provided a summary of. Slightly different stratigraphy, dominated by minoregenics with an organic rick-silk rather than a PT unit. Again, fantastic work by John Whittaker highlighted the initial abundance of freshwater conditions, which were then replaced by estuarine conditions, which includes this organic silt section, and diatoms were found in abundance throughout the whole two meters. The lack of organic material prohibited radiocom dates throughout the sequence, and one of the activities we'll be doing is working with the OSL results in the longer term from the underlying strata, but one of the dates from towards the top of the freshwater signal identifies that we are looking at around about 12,500, and from which you could assume, assuming no considerable conformities, that this material beneath that date is going to predate 12 and a half, and that would therefore put us likely in the window near this slightly warmer period. Previously we were looking at the Greenland Stadial, now we're looking at this slightly warmer period, and again, because of the fact that we have radiocarbon dates towards the top of the sequence that allude to late Holocene, we can have the potential that we could have a section that spans the younger jars as well as the earlier Holocene. Another beautiful diagram, and in very brief summary, strats, slight stratigraphic variations in organic content, we infer window mirror in Stadial for the lower most section in which the diatoms are most abundant. We now have some freshwater plankton, in low numbers, freshwater plankton are present but consistent, we have a much lower presence of tycoplankton, indeed these little zones are being exaggerated because they're so low, so they're very, very small components. We're in this assumed window mirror in Stadial, and vegetation thriving diatoms are much more common, indeed you can see the overall dominance, we're looking at about 70%, 60%, 70% of the diatom assemblage, with an overall decline in some of the key taxa with height towards this upper zone, and in contrast we have a low but consistent number of epipelic taxa, these are the muddy taxa, but there is an increase, quite a substantial increase, especially with one taxa called Covenula scataloidis, which is a very cryptic one, I found very little information about, however it does increase quite substantially prior to this zonal boundary that I've identified. This zonal boundary however is due to extremely poor preservation, and if we take this all into account, poor preservation, the radiocarbon dates, and this increase in muddy or sand dwelling taxa, we could start thinking about what's going on. Overall dominance of aquatics initially increased in taxa associated with sandy or muddy substrates, coinciding with an overlying zone of poor preservation, could this be an evidence of an uncomformity, or indeed the younger dryers. So planktonic taxa are present in very low numbers, tycoplanktonic fagilarial weeds are now restricted, and it suggests a very shallow freshwater body. The floral assemblage further differs to 34, in that now epiphytes and epipelic taxa dominate. The epiphytic taxa dominate, they dominate in the base, but decrease in height over time, to be replaced by this taxa cavenula scutuloides, which is associated with sandy and or muddy substrates. And if we can retain confidence as we have with the radiocarbon dates, this should then shift into very, very poor preservation with height, we could be looking at actually a climatic signal preserved within the diatoms as well. The transitioning around the younger dryers resulting in increased epipelic, epipsamic taxa is a result of climatic deterioration, associated loss of aquatic algae, and the increase in erosion of turbidity within a very shallow water setting, making the setting more favorable for species that adhere themselves to minogenics. And again, just to reinforce this, we then have this much more epiphyte rich sequence underneath, to which again, we're going to be working with the dating team to get a greater understanding of the age of this section, because at the moment we're reliant on a single AMS radiocarbon date to the top. I'm sure Tim will have information about these sequences as we continue on with regards to the OSL. We can be confident that we're looking at the Windermere and Stadial based on the abundance of epiphytes and assumption that there is a lot of organic plants living in and around this setting. All right, five minutes ago, I think I'm doing all right. The second aspect and just as significant is obviously one of the key drivers and objectives of this project, was to understand the inundation of doggalands, the timing and the extent, the rate, and so on and so forth. And one of the best ways of doing that is when we find stratigraphic boundaries of clear fresh water into a coastal deposition or restaurant deposition. Now, a number of the cause had a stratigraphic boundary preserved within, and I'll highlight a couple of them here. I'm only going to talk about one and then provide some general comments about the others as well, just in due to time. But in general, all of these course highlighted here in which we have this freshwater peat to estuarine salty position, had a stratigraphic boundary dated to somewhere between 9.5 and 8.8. And again, modelling will be done to understand the extent and the accuracy and reliability of these things and what that tells us about the rate of change in due course. In all instances, diatoms were not preserved within the underlying peats. Now, they do live in peat and settings, but the acids within the waters often dissolve the biogenic silica. So they're not always preserved very well in pure peats, but they were found in abundance in the overlying alluvium. And so therefore, it's currently assumed that the stratigraphic boundaries relate to marine transgressions and the flooding of the North Sea lowlands in response to global sea level rise in the early Holocene. We've seen this beauty before. Ben alluded to it. Again, John did initial rapid assessments and we did initial radiocarbon dating. So I'll highlight that in Elve 20, the transition from what was, sorry, we have assumed till, overlaid by freshwater deposition inferred by the microfossil work, and then overlaid by these marine estuarine deposits. And this then directed, as it did with every core, further fuller analysis where preservation was found to be good. And diatoms were found in abundance within the overlying strata, but not within the freshwater peat. And here we have a very typical diagram of that boundary. We have the radiocarbon date. Here we have the peat at the bottom, diatoms are preserved, and we have the alluvium overlying it. And this is a very generalized summary of the diatoms that were encountered. We have a low but consistent presence of marine plankton. These are typical of open marine waters, and they are present throughout. And in general, this is a very typical indicator of the influence of tides and so on and so forth. But they are low, low and consistent, not majorly significantly contributing. The majority are benthic taxa. And indeed, throughout many of these causes, it was more often than not the benthic taxa dominated and the plankton were quite restricted in the preservation. In a number of the cause, I think this is of interest in terms of understanding the landscape and the changing that took place, many of the cause have a few taxa that are in relative abundance immediately above the stratigraphic boundary. And these taxa are associated with much lower salinity conditions. In this instance, we're looking at Diplomat finica. In another core, it was navicular varigula. There are certain species that are much more associated with lower salinity conditions, encountered in abundance at the stratigraphic boundary and then reducing in heights to be replaced by the more typical marine brackish epipelite taxa, those attached to the body substrates and epiphytes, or I'm going to have to run now. Okay. And then in this instance, there's an increase in epiphyte taxa with height. Is it working? There we go. So to generalise, the majority of the cause under analysis, all preserved diatomisemuges containing taxa with lowest salinity preferences immediately above the issuing freshwater units. And this would support the hypothesis, obviously, that the peak units are freshwater in origin, rather than being a small peak body accumulating in an abandoned tidal channel or something similar on the mudflats. These boundaries are therefore all gradual and also unlikely to be erosive. This is one of the things I think is very important in understanding the role of relative sea level change, because potentially you could have a section of the peat being removed prior to the marine deposits accumulating. But the fact that we have these low salinity-preferring species immediately overlying would suggest that we're looking at a gradual, however you want to define gradual, in terms of time scales, but a conformable shifting climate. And in general, the floral assemblages are dominated by either epipelic or epiphytic. And there is an overall absence of these taxa in the aerophilus taxa and epiphytumic taxa, and generally restricted marine plankton. And based on this, we think we're looking at marine brackish tidal settings, likely tidal lagoons or small tidal inlets, rather than a very open coastline to account for these sort of assemblages being present. And just a final slide is just in terms of we are very early in this assessment, in this analysis and interpretation. We have variations between these cores. So for example, two of 54 are dominated by the epiphytes to suggest a more of a vegetated coastal lowland with things like seagrasses. Whereas some of the other cores are more than muddy substrates. And this will start helping us when we start putting them into paleogeographical contexts and synthesizing with the other data. I don't think we've got this lovely uniform shift from freshwater to marine conditions as sea level rose. And this is highlighted by simply just trying to plot vertically the transition from freshwater peat into esterine alluvium. The elevations don't necessarily link to the timings of the transitions. Some of the cores, some of the cores that were flooded latest by marine conditions are some of the deepest cores. So as highlighted by Martin, we've got a really complex geomorphological picture to develop first. Are we looking at little isolation basins? Are we looking at more of an open setting? What are the crustal movements to account for these vertical variations and so on? So there's a lot of things to think about, and we are at the start have really started to really synthesize this data together, but it's exciting nonetheless. And in light of Richard being in front of me on the screen, I'm going to leave some of the summary points up and ask for any questions. Thanks, Thomas. That's really great. Yeah, so just before questions come in, David Smith has actually commented that in from 34 level that you mentioned the average summer temperature of 10 degrees and average winter of minus 22. So back on to that. I have a question here on whether AI plays any role in your counting the number of diatoms in samples? No, that's not something that I've been involved in.


So guys I am back with another large of the fallen video and today guys I bring you 35 plus Secret items you may have missed these consist of amazing OP weapons We have jewelry in regards to pendants rings. We have armors. We have umbra eyes We have everything guys stay tuned How's it going people? My name is DP Jane if you do enjoy the video Living a like really helps out and if you're like what you see I want to see more be sure to subscribe Okay, so this is a third guide like this. I have posted I will continue on posting I'm just gonna complete all areas in regards to important loot and if you've missed any of my previous videos I will link them down below But make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a future one if you haven't already that is now before we got Any further I truly recommend and it's for your own benefit that you are optimized at range Now if you ain't I do have a video guide. I'll link that down below to I can be absolutely Overpowered with that enhanced bloody hatchet and you can take things out from afar It's very important for this video because later on in the video guys You're probably gonna need something that's good at range. So yes, keep that in mind Again, if you haven't got anything yet, or you're still struggling for range check out that video link down below Okay, so let's get into it guys and the starting point for today's video is the vestige of Ferris the charred and the first items we're gonna grab are the cursed Armour set this one you don't want to miss so make your way as I am doing on screen now guys We're first gonna make our way around and open up this gate and there will be a few enemies in your way You can run past them like I do most of the time or take them out It's completely up to you. Now you want to go into that on the arm Around here so you can get around into this building But again, you can run straight past all these enemies. There's no one Difficult in your way now you want to obviously come out of that on both states because you will start getting attacked by all kinds of things in there So yes now guys simply jump down and then go and open that gate and you are good people From this point, we will just crack on and we'll get that. Yeah. Now what I will say is There is like a Reaper dude, isn't too hard to fight But if you got a range come back down, you'll take him out. No problem Or you may just be able to kill him with your standard weapons But do what you gotta do guys and grab this loot from the chest easy Now as you get to this point right here guys, you will have to clear the path and make the path So just follow what I do on screen. It's quite straightforward guys. Do what you gotta do then go on to grab that armor Okay, so from this point guys, we're just gonna push on quickly And then go and activate an anchor between realms just as a safety net because there's a lot of going on within this castle We're about to go into guys and it's a good chance you may die. So yes activating this is definitely important So do what I do on screen now guys and go get this thing Now although we have just activated this anchor between realms There is also a vestige right nearby too, but there is a big dude in the way That's why we activate this but if you haven't got the seeds to activate this don't worry Like I said, there's an anchor right nearby So follow where I go on screen now guys don't interact with the big dude. Just run to this vestige and get this thing Okay, so from this vestige, we're going to go and quickly grab a weapon which is located in this building It's called the duties chime. So yes, she may as well get this while you are here Once you've grabbed this thing race back to that vestige points and rest From here guys, we're going to have to go and take at this big dude What he drops is a key to getting to this building. So go take him out guys again Hit him from afar if you can or just take him out as I did do what I gotta do and pick up this key Once you have the key come into this house Now there's a couple of things to grab. So just go where I go on screen now And you will get the accusing spirit. So do what you gotta do Okay, so once we've done this guys We're gonna actually scale up a little bit climbing a ladder Then jumping down and taking out a few enemies and then opening their gate just for future purposes Just in case you get stuck somewhere You don't have to come all the way around and do what we just did again This simple gate will allow you to come into this room and just do what you gotta do and progress Okay, so from this point guys, we're just going to progress on into this next room and grab the enhanced Imperium grenade Okay, so from this point guys, we're just going to push on and grab the trinity shield And now what I will say is this is kind of heavily guarded So I wouldn't bother trying to fight them just do as I do guys run past them or grab it Then use the umbrella lantern to walk through this gate so the enemies behind you cannot get you Now as you make a forward path from this point guys And there's a gate on your right hand side if you can open this Also as you push on a little further there is a ladder which you should push down Just in case you do die it makes the route back up here much much quicker So make sure you take care of them while you can And from this point guys, we are just pushing on it's quite a trek to run We're actually running to an anchor between realms just because we need that safety net because if you die You got back to that first stage we activated earlier. So yes Make sure when you do this guys be very very careful There will be plenty of ads that you do have to run past So a lot of docking and diving to make sure you don't get hit a lot of dodging guys There are tons and tons of those due to those crossbows big enemies with big swords. So yes be very very careful But just follow the path I do take the exact path I take and you should be good So you'll actually get to this point here This is where you put down that seed and create that anchor between realms Now I actually didn't do this at first and I made a big big mistake So I did it on my backwards path here.  I was talking about again guys Be very very careful time you're dodged perfectly and simply grab that chest and quickly jump down And you are good Okay, so from this point guys, you're going to make your way down It's a ladder and into this room and then you want to jump down guys because there is a key here called the abbot's vernaf key This is very very vital for your progression It leads you to a couple more bosses too, which drops some amazing loot So make sure you grab this one guys and once you've grabbed this guys You want to head back to the anchor between realms vestige point Okay, so from that anchor between realms vestige point, we're going to go and fight a boss here From this boss, you get four items. You get the abiding defender helm The ebb and light abiding defender sword the divine arms Spell and the flavor of wisdom weapon Now these bosses can be a bit tough. I'm not going to lie Again, I use that guide I linked down below with the hatchet the enhanced bloody hatchet I just kept my distance and took these dudes out. I beat them first time I tried using this method before these guys I must have died about 10 times Because they're just ganging up on me as they do. So yes, do what you gotta do guys beat these and get that loot Okay, so from this same anchor between realms, we're going to go and fight another boss Along this path, you'll get the braided ring the carrier knight staff The carrier knight weapons and you'll also get a saintly quintessence, which are very useful as you know So when you get to the boss guys again, I use my enhanced Hatchet to take this dude out. He is the blessed carrier knight Sonisha, I believe that is but it's quite easy quite straightforward You probably won't even need those ranged attacks on him But again guys, I made it easy on myself so I could just progress past this dude. So do what you gotta do But once you take him out, make sure you grab that braided ring as well from behind this building Then once you've done that guys, if you can activate the anchor between realms So once you've done this guys, we're going to push on to meet another NPC We call him Stolman, captain of the Videlis And yes, I've probably pronounced that wrong, I normally do Now you will meet him for a second time in a short while too But between the paths between the two times you meet him, there is another boss So yes, follow this path I take guys to this boss fight So the loot this boss drops is the best chelis, I believe that's pronounced As well as the weeping a best My tap So yes, this boss is quite straightforward. I'm not going to lie. I mean again guys If you've got those ranged attacks, like I'll be saying the whole video The bosses in this game, every boss I've come up against cannot do anything about it again If you're interested in what I'm doing on the screen now, I'll link the video in the video description Exactly how you can do this. It's three simple items you can get in about 10 minutes near the start of the game There's no excuses guys. So yes, do what you gotta do and defeat this boss and get this loot Okay, so from this point guys, we're going to quickly go and open up another vest stage So do what I do on screen now guys and go activate this thing Okay, so from this point guys, we're just going to throw a dress on Take out a few enemies along the way and then go and open up a gate Which just makes the path to where we've got to get to a lot quicker from that vest stage point We just activated so do as I do on screen now guys and get this thing done Okay, so from this point guys, we're just going to progress on even further taking out a few enemies along the way Just to clear the path to make it a little easier Now along the way guys, we will get weighted arrows We will get a new emote and we also end up back at that vendor. We're not long met So do as I do on screen now guys and get this done So from this NPC again guys, we're going to go and grab a new weapon It's called the heretical sentinels hammer. So we'll get this thing And from this point guys, we'll just progress on a further up this castle this ginormous building Then we basically take out a few enemies and then come down and open a gate Which again would make the path up to this place if you die much much easier From this point guys, you're going to go on and grab the multi-shot crossbow as well as the toll Weapon that these are both incredible But it can be a bit of a pain to get these so do as I do on screen now guys Exactly as I do. This is where those ranged weapon attacks will come in very very handy Because there are a lot of enemies to take out and it's definitely easier to take them out from afar Especially the main enemy of this area. He beams you. So yes, do as I do on screen now guys follow the path I take And get this loot Okay, so from this chest we're going to go and activate another Anchor between realms because hey if you die up here You're going right back to the very bottom and you have to take out all these enemies again So do as I do on screen now Now this is an optional for you. But hey you might as well grab it while you're here It is another same the quintessence, but you will have to fight another enemy Big enemy to do this. It's in a tight area too. So it can be a bit of a pain in the ass So watch how I do on screen now if it seems like something you can do go for it guys But hey from this point we're making our way back through the anchor between realms Okay, so next up guys, we're going to grab the imperus Nahuta's ring as well as the umbral eye of blind Agatha and that's to do this guys follow the point I go to from this anchor between realms You have to be also in that umbral realm And it can be a little tedious because you have to jump across roofs while being attacked by enemies So here guys again take these enemies out from afar and grab this Loot to be careful though when you first activate your umbral state As there is a dude that will likely push you off the building So I do it from that sure anchor between realms Rest each point I go into the umbral realm here and then progress on I quickly run and jump across to that one roof and then take out this little ad who is annoying as heck I want you to done that guys progress on and get that loot From here guys make your way back to the anchor between realms And from this point we're going to enter another boss fight The loot he drops you is a rapturous huntress armor the sanctioned huntress spear As well as the ruin of a deer now this boss well again for me with my hatchets He was super super easy, but otherwise I'm guessing it's probably going to be pretty difficult But do what you got do you guys and take this dude out Once you've done this activate the anchor between realms And then we're going to progress on to get even more loot The first one I'm going to get is the elacerating weapon And then we're going to grab guys the saint selenor's ring Then once these have grabbed we're going to push our way up go in a lift and activate another vestige point Okay, so from this vestige point guys, we'll actually go back down that lift That next area is for another video. I don't want this one going over too long. It's already 40 minutes or so Okay, so we're going to grab now guys a shield of piercing light Now there are a few enemies to take out that will be in your way But get them down guys and you can grab this item simple and from this point guys You're going to go and grab another saintly quintessence and then end the video there So follow the part I take on the screen now guys do what you gotta do There's going to be a few enemies in your way But take them out and there we have it guys secret items you don't want to miss Guys, if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out If you like what you see want to see more laws of the fallen be sure to subscribe and hopefully guys I will see you on that next one


This might be hard for some of you to hear. And yet the reality is, is most humans have terrible relationship skills. And when I say most humans, I mean you who's watching this. I know most people think that they have excellent communication skills, men and women alike. And yet the reality is, most human beings have terrible relationship skills, terrible communication skills, and terrible emotional maturity. But we'll get into that in a second. So why am I bringing this up? It's because women oftentimes have a very hard time expressing themselves to men in relationships. And it's kind of contrary to the way they think they operate.  But what I mean is express your feelings to your girlfriends. Many of you oftentimes go silent in relationship for fear of scaring a guy away. And this is one of the reasons why so many women have challenges in relationships because they're not really that skilled at expressing themselves to men. And we already know that men are terrible expressing their feelings to women. You've been taught that men have been told to stuff their emotions, to stuff their feelings since they were young boys. And so it blows me away how many of you act so surprised when men have terrible communication skills and you continually say the most important thing in relationship is communication, communication, communication. And yet you're equally bad at the process. But let's talk about why that is the case. Why is it that so many humans have weak relationship skills, weak emotional maturity and weak communication skills? Well, it's gonna be, it's partially because many humans, especially at midlife and midlife is after baby making years and before retirement. So for those of you that are 42 to 69, my primary audience that I speak to, many of you have suffered childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas that have gone unhealed in your life that makes it that you have negative patterns and limiting beliefs in your life.  Myself included, I look at myself in the mirror all the time and there's more layers to improve each time. But what are some of the blocks to love that cause men and women to have poor relationship skills and poor communication? Well, number one is fear. And again, that fear oftentimes stems from a childhood wound and trauma or an adult trauma like divorce, job loss, health issues. This is for us adults. And so this is why I continually recommend reading the book The Hoffman Process, The Hoffman Process. This is a deep dive into healing your childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas so you don't, so you can actually operate in a more present way in relationship instead of the superficial communication that happens in relationship. How was your day going? Did you have a good day? I hope you had a good day. How was golf today? How was the gym today? How was your yoga class today? How was Pilates today?  So what I'm gonna share today, the six ways to tell a man what you need is actually something I'm gonna be candid with you. I was surfing YouTube. I came across a contemporary of mine, Matt Boggs. He had a video. I thought, you know what? What he shared is very similar to what I shared and why reinvent the wheel. So of the six things I'm about to share for them are his and to her mind. So without further ado, we're gonna talk about how you can, how you can tell a man what you need. And number one, I've been saying the following for years is start a sentence with, I need your help. I need your help. You know, and it can be for anything. It's not about needing help in doing like physical labor. I need you to take out the trash or can you open a jar of peanut butter kind of thing? You know, to make them feel mask. I'm not talking about that kind of help. You can actually start this in the way is I need your help.  And I'm actually feeling a bit insecure in this relationship because of that. And I'd like your help on curing that. I'd like your help on healing that. Now that's a very vulnerable thing to put out there to say you're insecure. But Jonathan, all the other dating coaches tell me to be confident because confidence turns on a man. Folks, let me tell you something. True connectivity of the heart, truly connecting at a heart-centered level is actually being vulnerable with another human being. If you're not familiar with the work of Brene Brown, please Google her, read her book, Daring Greatly, watch her videos, but she says, vulnerability is the essence of courage. So I invite you to lean into asking the question, I need your help to solve a problem about you, but that's making me insecure. Now I'm laughing a little bit because it might sound funny. And yet if you're with a guy or you're with somebody that genuinely cares about you, it's gonna be okay. If you're not familiar with my book, what the heck is self-love anyway? A journey of personal development, self-help, and spiritual work. By the way, there's a link below to get all the books I recommend. Chapter one, speak your truth. Just do it from a kind place. And chapter nine, if it's sincere and from the heart, you can't say the wrong thing to the right person. So if you express a vulnerability, it's okay when you're with the right person. It's not gonna work with the wrong person, but guess what? You don't wanna spend time with the wrong person. I need your help. Can I ask you a favor? Things like that. Okay, number two, three, and four are kind of the same thing. First, you want to acknowledge something a guy did. Acknowledge something he did. That's the first thing. So let's think of something he might have done.  I really appreciate it in the beginning of the relationship how attentive you were. I really appreciate how attentive you were in the beginning of the relationship. So acknowledge that. What you want to avoid next is the dreaded but. B-U-T, not B-U-T-T, because we all like nice buts and I cannot lie. And the other brothers can't deny when a girl walks in with itty-bitty wasting a round thing. Okay, I got off on the tangent. You don't wanna say, you acknowledge something good. You don't wanna say but because that negates everything you just said. So acknowledge. And the next thing, number three, you wanna use that and statement, A-N-D, A-N-D. And you wanna acknowledge that. You said you acknowledge that he did something really good in the beginning, but you've noticed a shift. And I've noticed a shift lately. And in that shift, I find myself feeling less safe in the relationship. I feel less safe in the relationship. So now you're expressing something that, he might be able to work on and fix. Again, it's a vulnerable thing, but safety in a relationship is hugely important.   It does, okay, it's like the broken clock. It happens twice a day, okay? Yes, there are men who are emotionally mature, who have good relationship skills, who genuinely wanna be in a relationship. I call these guys, if you're not familiar with my three types of people actively dating, excuse me, the users, the spenders and the growers. 20% are users, 60% will waste your time. They're just time wasters, and then 20% growers. And I'm being generous when I say 20% are growers. And by the way, this is men and women alike. So you're all hoping to get that small percentage of people, but you're terrible at vetting these type of men. By the way, if you need some help with that, check out the link to a discovery call because that's my area of expertise to teach you what questions to ask a guy in the early stages of dating to determine if he's worth your time. So when you say, so why I'm bringing this up is you can be vulnerable with the right guy. So you say, you acknowledge something about him, you say, and, and then you express what's going on in a vulnerable state, and then you follow it up with by making a request, by making a request of what would feel good, and then you follow it up with the following statement. Would you be willing to do that? Would you be willing to do that? So for example, we started off by acknowledging something. We say the and instead of the but because so many of you use the but language and you negate everything you say and then you follow it up with your request. It could simply be, you know, it'd be really great if we could text each other every night so I can feel safer in this relationship. Would you be willing to do that? That's number four.  So, so he might have shared something vulnerable with you. He might have said, you know, I'm rather busy at times and it's difficult for me, and, or excuse me, you've said, you know, about this and he, by the way, I had this backwards, okay. So you just made your request, it'd be really great if you did this and he said, absolutely, absolutely. You make sure you demonstrate appreciation for that. By the way, folks, the words thank you are hollow, okay, have become more hollow words. I would like you to incorporate the words appreciation, gratitude and grateful in your languaging replacing the words thank you. I truly want to encourage more communication that uses the words, hey, I really appreciate that. Wow, I'm really grateful you did that. Wow, and use the word gratitude. I'm in such gratitude for your kindness, your care, your love, okay. By the way, Jennifer, I saw your message and I'm gonna address that shortly, okay. So number five was express appreciation when you gave him the feedback. If it was, if it was worth, if the feet, if his response was positive, make sure you reinforce it with a positive statement. And number six, and I've been saying this throughout this entire, but the way to get to tell a man what you need is by expressing vulnerability, by expressing your insecurities. Now from this particular place, all of us have childhood wounds and traumas.  There's a picture of my mom and dad.  Let me tell you something.  I was my generation. I'm a tail end baby boomer, okay. I was part of my generation. My mother used to constantly tell me I'm negative. My mother used to constantly tell me I'm negative. You know, the irony is my mother was the negative one.   Do you know what that does to the psyche of a child that when they grow up they have this narrative playing in their head that they're not good enough, that they're not lovable and they're not likable? This is the number one emotional health issue we are all faced with men and women alike. And ladies, if you don't think this is true for men, I want you to know something. Men commit suicide much greater than women by seven fold. Nearly one in every three men are clinically depressed by the way, women as well. And let's not even look at the fact that more men are imprisoned by a substantial number. That is a really distressing thing to think about. And yet you all expect men to be knights in shining armor and men expect you to be fit, friendly and submissive to them, not all men, but a lot.  And no wonder the dating marketplace is an absolute clusterfuck. We have dysfunctional human beings in the dating marketplace and it's no wonder it's a mess. So how are we gonna heal this? Through vulnerability, through authenticity and through transparency. So number six is I invite you to express your insecurities based on your childhood wounds without acting like a victim.   I've expressed my childhood wounds, my mother wounds. And there's multiple mother wounds I have, okay? I've expressed that. I know the right person will lean into the conversation and the wrong person, all the wrong person doesn't get my time of day. And so I invite you to use these six things I just shared as a way to connect with another human being. And I also wanna encourage you all to read this book. I hear you. The surprisingly simple skills behind extraordinary relationships. This book, I mean, it's amazing the little tips it gives you to really start leaning into better communication because I said in the beginning of this broadcast many of you are living in a fantasy because you constantly say the importance of communication and yet you're terrible at doing it but you are living in this delusion that you're so perfect at it.  Is that a word fucked? Let's own it. I own mine.  And yet each day I choose to do a little bit more a little bit more to relieve the blocks. And remember I said before the blocks to love I wanna end on this note before we take questions. The blocks to love that makes it difficult for all of us to really lean into love is that fear of wounds, the baggage in our lives the ex-spouse or worse that's contentious ex-spouse. Our children can be incredibly problematic for those of us in midlife. Our work and our health issues along with that a lack of direction for so many people. Men are terrible at direction in midlife. Most guys are just winging it, winging it, winging it because they want companionship, they want connection, they want sex but they lack a sense of intentionality and no wonder you're frustrated with men. And I hear you on that. That's why I continually say you were in charge of your relationship Destiny, not the guy. And let me tell you something ladies you are the emotional container of the relationship. It's your job. It's your job to connect to his heart so he can connect to your heart. And if you need some help with that please read this book by Barbara D'Angelo is how to make love all the time she has chapter after chapter of tools.  Only the men that do this kind of work day in, day out can be the leaders in the relationship as the way you wished. So you take charge of your life. And I know many of you are wounded in this way. This is why I continue and by the way, I know many of you are going, damn it, this guy just recommends a lot of books. Fucking, do you wanna change your life? Then read the books I recommend, especially this one why men love bitches and bitch stands for babe in total control of herself.  And when I just talked about the emotional maturity and relationship skills because so many of you are building genuine trust in relationship because you've been indoctrinated in the belief that chemistry equals relationship success. And this is why you're so susceptible to love bombers. It is so, look it, these days we are in a hookup culture. Let's just call it for what it is. We men have it so easy to get laid.  Trust is, does this person care about my feelings as much as I care about my own feelings? And lastly, a lack of commitment. By the way, I got to chill out. I'm yelling. I yell because I'm passionate.  And look, I wish, I'm your big brother. I wish I could be there on a first date with the shotgun pointed at the guy's face saying, what's your intentions with my sister? So you have to take charge of your life and do it for yourself because a lack of commitment, a lack of conviction, because we no longer need to make for babies and money. I'm gonna repeat that, babies and money. For those of us in midlife, unless it's babies and money, those were the two primary roots. What I mean is raising a family and supporting each other financially, okay? That's not there for midlife. So you better find your common cause together because without it, you're fucked.  I shot my video for Sunday earlier and I just have a rant to make because a lot, listen, if you're listening to dating advice that doesn't contemplate childhood wounds and traumas and adult traumas, then their advice is worthless and it's garbage. My advice is all understanding human behavior, not from attraction perspective but from an emotional maturity perspective because all the attraction in the world isn't gonna work when you're with someone who's emotionally constipated.  You just think you are because you can vomit your feelings.  That's my spiel, the six ways to tell a man what you need. All right, those who know my format, we're gonna take questions. Actually, today I'm gonna do a personal share. So if you have a question about my personal share, write the word personal question then write the question thereafter or please purchase a super sticker, super chat. There's a little dollar sign in the box below. All the, or purchase a super thanks. All the monies from the super sticker, super chat goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son, Connor Asley. That's him right there. He passed away almost four years ago. It'll be three years and 11 months today. And in his honor, I've started a scholarship fund in his name. So I'd be really grateful if you're gonna ask me a personal question today to do so by purchasing a super sticker, super chat. All right, so many of you know, I've met somebody a month ago and it's a long distance dynamic.  So I wanna share why I despise long distance. I wanna share the ingredients of making a long distance work. And in the process, I'm gonna share a little bit about the person I met and where we're at at this moment in time. So why do I despise long distance relationships? Now this is a number I made up because 90% of the time, they are fantasies for most women versus most men. I'm gonna repeat that. It's a fantasy for most women versus most men. Why most men are emotionally immature and have terrible relationship skills and they're driven by their penis. So long distance relationships offer an opportunity to build a bit of rapport with someone fly out, drive out, fly across the country, get laid. And let me just share with you. They can love bomb in the beginning over the phone.  You can't, so these are the faults within it. So this is why I despise them.   They could be hiding something in their life and you'll never know about it. There's an easy exit plan for the guy most of the time. The easy exit plan is I can't do long distance relationship or worse, you could be talking and talking and talking and talking and talking and never meet. People spend years talking on the phone in long distance relationships. And what they find is that they're actually in a cyber relationship and not an actual relationship. As a coach, I've had women reach out to me, Jonathan, I need help in my relationship. I go, great, they go, it's long distance. How long have you been seeing each other? Nine months. And I go, well, how often do you see each other? And a woman will say, I've never met him. I'm like, and so what's the problem in the relationship? Well, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.  That's not a relationship. That's a cyber relationship in the grownup world. For those of us who are grownup, a grownup relationship looks like this, social activities, hobbies, mutual interests, spending time with family and friends, traveling together, teamwork, building skills, both in our personal and our professional lives. Intimacy, both physical and emotional, intimacy leading towards either moving in together, getting married or something. That's a real relationship. Thank you, team. Really quickly, I wanna thank that super sticker for $20, I appreciate it. So I've met someone. Now let me give you a little bit of the backstory. We met online literally 364 days before we actually met. She happened to be in Los Angeles, she lives in Chicago, she happened to be in, she said, I have a daughter, lives in Los Angeles and I'm thinking about moving out to be with my daughter. So I was searching, this is match.com and I was searching and I came across your profile and I loved what you said. Your profile had so much depth. And I wrote her back and said, call me when you're here, because I didn't wanna engage. But we ended up getting on the phone and we talked on the phone.  And I didn't like our first phone conversation. To spare her, I won't tell you why, but I didn't like it. So I reached, or so she reached out to me about 10 days later, this is again a year ago. And she said, hey, how's it going, blah, blah, blah. And I said, I'm gonna be candid with you. I didn't like our first phone conversation for these reasons. And what happened next impressed me. She said, I've heard that before. So I felt safe enough to tell her and she didn't get triggered by me being honest with her or at least my truth. So it actually led to a deeper conversation. We ended up having a four-hour conversation. This was roughly a year ago. And we agreed to become Facebook friends and keep in touch. So every little once in a while, there'd be a Facebook post. I'd see her pop up, I'd send her a message. We jumped on the phone a multiple times throughout the last year, maybe a half a dozen or so times. We'd have one of these conversations for a couple hours because we liked each other's profiles. And then it got to the point where we were just joking. Well, if neither one of us finds someone where we live, oh, and she hadn't made a plan to move to Los Angeles. So we said, if we don't find someone in six months, let's get married. It was like a joke or something like that. Well, it turns out I had a reason to go to Chicago and reached out to her and she agreed to meet me. And we went out to dinner. Great restaurant. It was one of those romantic kind of restaurants that was overlooking the river in Chicago. It was a beautiful evening that night. I got lucky it was a perfect evening. She got a great table at the bar, high table at the bar. Minute we locked eyes, there was just this mutual attraction and she gave me a big gigantic kiss. And I share that because we had built rapport with one another. We built rapport with one another. And it was built on without an expectation. It wasn't me love bombing her.  You're so amazing. You're so amazing. There was no like future rising or anything like that. I just was meeting a friend, but with something more. So we ended up spending a ton of time together that first night. And then I invited her to the wedding I was going to. So we got to spend a little bit more time together. And I found myself genuinely missing this person. I found myself appreciating this person. There was a strong bond between us. So what, and I mean that initial chemical chemistry kind of bond that wasn't lust or limerence. It wasn't just that she's beautiful and attractive. There was something more. There was something like an energetic connection between us. And just for the record, I'll show a picture so you guys can all see. And here's a picture of the two of us at the wedding. Okay, you can see that. And this was our first night out. I'll just lift that up so you can see us out. She's a drop dead gorgeous. She's got a sweet heart. So one of the ingredients was this strong connection. And I'm gonna say there was a sexual attraction between the two of us. Number two. So we made a plan to visit again and she came and visited last weekend. That's why I've been off the grid for the last couple, last five or six days. And she came to visit me to stay for a few days. And I had an idea. And that was, I put, I don't know if you know what a back jack is, but it's a way to sit on the ground with like, it's like a little back support for your back. And we sat down in my living room overlooking the ocean and we talked for 10 hours straight. We had what I call radical honesty, radical honesty. That to include laying all the cards on the table. We laid all our cards on the table. We shared our values. We shared the nooks and crannies of our lives. And we just didn't do this for one day. We did this two days in a row. It wasn't romantic dinners. It wasn't a bright ride on the beach. It wasn't anything fancy. It was just sitting and genuinely getting to know each other warts and all, the good, the bad, the ugly, the nooks and crannies. And the more we were communicating with each other, the safer and safer we began to feel. And we also leaned into our childhood wounds and traumas and our adult traumas, which includes our marriages. And we shared the pain that we experienced in our marriages. We shared in our relationships. And I've had a half a dozen relationships in my lifetime and likewise for her. And we shared the individual challenges, taking ownership of our part in it.  We weren't blaming the other person. We were building genuine intimacy into me you see. And if you're not familiar with the book by Robert Masters, read the book Emotional Intimacy. And little by little, we began feeling safer and safer. And we found each other, we found ourselves sharing some of our deepest secrets to each other because we felt safe, because we were radically honest. We were vulnerable. We were authentic and we were transparent. And the reason why I think this might work is because we have a flexible lifestyle. She's retired. I can work from wherever I want. So we've already got our next visit planned and we even have a trip. I mean, if it works out, a trip to Mexico planned. But more importantly, we genuinely communicated our individual desire, our true desire for commitment and what commitment looks like for us. What does that look like? And so ladies, when you're speaking to guys, whether it's short distance or not, understanding what commitment looks like and what it means to a person is a critically important radical question that needs to be asked before the penis ever goes inside the vagina. And at the end, we agreed to my dating vows. And many of you know my dating vows. The dating vows go like this. We mutually said this to one another. We said, I agree to explore the process of getting to know you with the intent to declare something serious within the next three to six months. I agree to be monogamous sexually while we're having regular sex together. I agree not to actively seek to meet and date others while we're in the dating process, which includes taking down my dating profile. Again, we're mutually saying this to each other. We agree that if this isn't working, we're going to speak up instead of pulling back, ghosting or disappearing. And lastly, we agree to invest regular time in the process to get to know one another. And we already find ourselves spending hours on each day talking on the phone. And folks, let me just tell you something. As a person who does spend most of his day talking on the phone professionally, the last thing I want to do is talk on the phone. And yet I find myself absolutely smitten by this person. I find myself feeling a sense of trust. I find myself with enthusiasm and I appreciate that she's showing up the same. So I want to share one more piece with you all because the reality is, is I'm the expressive one in this relationship, a little more so than her. I mean, I'm just more. That's because I've been doing this work over and over and over again. I've been reading these books like Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg. I read all these books and particularly I'm reading the book by Gary Zukoff's Spiritual Partnership. This is a great book to get into the meat and potatoes of what it takes to have genuine intimacy in the relationship and I'm leading the process. But folks, I'm a unicorn because I do this for a living. Guys don't, they're not connected with their emotional side. So you have to lead this process to have any chance to have real intimacy. So whether it's distance or not, you need to have a strong bond right from the get go or it isn't gonna work and not luster limerence because that's like crack cocaine. You need to have a connection beyond the physical. You need to be radically honest with one another because without it, you're not gonna get to true intimacy with a partner and you need to be with an emotional grown-up. She has done life spring. She's done personal development workshops. I've done the Hoffman process. I've done insight. I have over 3,000 hours. I have a Neuro Linguistic Programming Certificate. And I've done Reiki 3000 hours of workshops and trainings and videos. It's going to take some work to become empowered. If you need some additional help, go to the back of my book. I lay out all of the teachings right there. You can see all of the teachings I use to get to where I'm at. And I invite you to do the same because if you wanna have that juicy, delicious, healthy relationship, ladies, you are the emotional leaders in container of the relationship, not the guy. You can just sit in your feminine energy and hope and hope and hope and be that broken clock and get lucky a couple of times.  And because I've done this work and she's done this work, we're in a much greater chance of success. And while I'm not a big fan of long distance, I'll be candid with you. I'll be candid with you. I kinda like it, cause I like my alone time too. So anyways, that's my story and I'm sticking to it. So I'll spend the last minute or two taking questions from anyone. We'll take a look at the questions. If you have a personal question to ask me about this and I again, please, I know I'm the guy that says long distance is bad and I explained why they're bad. And I also shared today why I think it's good. So we've got a question here from Ouija. Okay, question. I finished the book, Why Men Love Bitches. I love it and learned a lot. Thank you for justing it. May you please explain the difference between checklist and standard? That's a good question. So it's funny. I'll share with you her name. Well, I don't wanna share her name yet. But I realized I had this horrific checklist and she didn't fit a lot of things in it. Check, standards are things of character. Checklists are the superficial things. Your standards are actions matching words, victor consciousness, knowing how to fight fair, empathy, transparency, those are standards. Checklist is he's gotta be six foot two. He's gotta make $200,000 a year. He needs to drive this kind of car. He needs these are the checklist in life. And so Ouija and I hope that answers your question. All right, let's go to Heather. You've been a dating coach for quite a long time. Just wondering if any of your advice has changed over the years. Okay, good question. Yeah, my advice continually gets tweaked as my awareness of things begins to expand. So for example, I used to be the biggest fan of online dating, the biggest fan. Now because of swipe apps, swipe applications, I'm gonna tell you it's bastardized the dating process. Now I still believe in online dating but not as much as I used to. So yes, things have changed in my life. In the beginning, I used to tell women a little bit more of the traditional advice. Now I'm kind of like, look, you're in charge of your life. You take charge, don't give that to a man. So yes, I have definitely changed. By the way, folks, one of my biggest problems and why it's taken me so long to find someone is I've been my own worst enemy.  It analyzes, it analyzes, it analyzes. And I am my own worst enemy. I constantly, I mean, I cannot turn off the dating coach. It's kind of funny because I reached out to my ex-girlfriend who's my dear friend now. And she told me, what would the dating coach and you tell you about this dynamic?  That I want him out of this relationship. And I just want to be Jonathan. And I got to tell you something, ladies. I think for the first time in my life, I've actually sat with someone. We did 30 hours of talking over three days. And I found myself without the armor, without the mask, without the, what's the word I'm looking for, the persona of Jonathan. And I could just be me with her. And I got to tell you that was most, that is the most beautiful experience I've ever had just to be the raw self. And this is why I continually bombard you with book after book and invitations to change your life from the inside out. So you can have this kind of relationship where you can actually talk from the heart. And let me tell you something, ladies. It takes a woman to help a man get to the heart. And I had so many women before her to prepare me for her. Anyway, thank you for listening on that one. Renee says, Jonathan, I could see a definitely expressive communication. And it's good that she is maybe a bit more relaxed. You'll be able to meet each other's needs. Congrats. Thank you so much. She's worried I'm gonna lose followers by telling everybody about her. Kerry says, question, why do women who have alcoholic fathers have so much trouble with relationships? Because they had alcoholic fathers.  That's a, having an alcoholic parent is a very, can be very traumatic to a child. I mean, that's why a lot of people do Alan on and such and Coda and other things because that's a very traumatic thing that can happen to a child. So, and they tend to choose bad men. By the way, if you're not, listen, Kerry Ann, read this book, Getting the Love You Want by Harvelle Hendricks and Helen Hunt. This will tell you everything you need to know to understand that dynamic and I don't care.  This book explains it all. Getting the love you want, okay? Definitely read that book. All right. Susan says, wow, Jonathan, thank you for your honesty. I appreciate it. Thank you, Susan. All right. Oh, Weijin, thank you for the super stick. I really appreciate it. All right. Let's see, I just saw something here. Bear with me, something. Question, did you start the dating vow physically part yet after second day visit? Love your teaching, man, but you just broke all our rules out of desperate desire to meet someone. I know how you fell. Let's just add a respect to her. Let's just say, since I was the grown up in the room and I understand the vows, I made sure she was in agreement with me before we, ahead of time, before we actually declared it. So the good news is folks, because I operate from this place. I already operate from this place of being an emotional grown up.  These are just road, these are tests to determine if someone is actually capable of leaning into a relationship at a much greater level. And that's why I recommend it for everyone. Okay. Let's see what else we got here. Bum, bum, bum. Deborah says, please don't bar me. I don't know why that is. Okay. Bum, bum, bum. Tell your partner, okay, Carrie answers, tell your partner, it doesn't matter if you're single or married, we'll follow you. Thank you so much, I appreciate it. You know folks, listen, this was a big reveal for me. I am ridiculously smitten. I might be, this might be absolutely premature. This could implode. That definitely can happen. That's part of the risk. As my friend says, love is a big gigantic risk, but it's the best game in town. What I appreciate most and why my coffee mug kind of emulates this, coffee tastes better than it would have shared, is the most important ingredient, the most important ingredient needed is trust. That sense of safety, that sense of can you be yourself with this person? And the fastest way to get there is through radical honesty to sit down like we did and just lay the cards on the table warts and all. And little by little, we were building more through this intimate encounter.  That's just the icing on the cake. Truthfully, what I like about this person is I get a heart on, it's not about the heart on. And so it takes radical honesty to get there. It takes a sense of going beyond the surface. Instead of, how's your day going? Did you have a good day? I hope you had a good day. The superficial things that so many of you are dancing in. So I scream at the top of my lungs to encourage you all to go beyond the surface. It's one of the reasons why my favorite meme, I'm gonna read it to you all and we'll end on this note.  I wanna talk about atoms, death, alien sex, magic, intellect, the meaning of life, far away galaxies, music that makes you feel different, memories, the lies you've told, your flaws, your favorite sense, your childhood, what keeps you up at night, your insecurity and fears. I like people with depth who speak with emotion from a twisted mind. From a twisted mind, I don't wanna know what's up. If you want to have a successful relationship, then start having deeper conversations. If the two of you have a strong bond, then start having deeper conversations because guess what? It builds trust and it is through trust that both men and women have an opportunity to do this instead of this. All right. Pamela, I'll post the dating vows in the description, okay? All right, folks, everybody, I wanna thank you so much for allowing me an opportunity to share. This has been an absolute pleasure for me to be able to invite you into my life a little bit. I am definitely very excited. I have no idea what the future holds, but I do, I'm gonna say this, this feels different than anything I've ever experienced and that's why I feel a little bit premature and positive all about it. So thank you for having my back. Thank you for supporting me. I'm so grateful to so many of you and hopefully through this experience, I can even teach you more and more about how to attract a great guy and have that juicy, delicious relationship that we all desire. Men and women alike want genuine love in their lives. You just don't know how to do it and I'm hopefully, I hopefully I open the door for all of you. All right, this would be a great place to wrap up today.  I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm asking you to turn to someone, a pet, a teddy bear pillow and give Iter them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love and let's face it, we could all use more love in our lives. I wanna thank Deborah and Sue and Grace and Brenda and Cece and Rika and Jennifer and Marianne and Sue, let's see, Vox, Kristina, Kelly, Pamela, Karen, Kimberly's in the house. Let's see who else, Marta, Ruth and Carrie. Everyone, thank you so much. Wishing you a super duper, wonderful, fantastic day. Bye-bye now.


All right. Start the timer. Five minutes. All right. Thanks everyone for joining me today. My name is Cynthia Thomas. I'm part of the Kubernetes networking team at Google. So let's talk about where did all my IPs go when they start building Kubernetes clusters?  Oh, my slides look different. We like yellow, right? Okay. So why do I need IPs? First of all, Kubernetes uses the Internet protocol for addressing for network communication. And that's for two fundamental networking reasons that Kubernetes clusters dictate. So the first being pods need to communicate with other pods in the cluster without using NAT or network address translation. And also agents on a node need to be able to communicate with pods on the same node. So we use IP for that. There are several implementations of IP addressing depending on different architectures. And those can be attributed to different networking models, flat, island modes, but that could be a whole other talk. So let's talk about where did all my IPs go when I started building my Kubernetes clusters? So what are those IP requirements for a cluster? Well, there's at least three big IP blocks that are required when you're building a Kubernetes cluster. The first for pods, also for nodes, and then finally for services. So since the early days of Kubernetes, when we build a cluster, we assign large blocks for these Kubernetes constructs. And that's because we didn't have a great way to adjust cluster-wide allocations back in the day. But this actually in turn caused organizations to face challenges when they assign networking IP ranges and such to Kubernetes operators because private addressing can be a great fragmentation problem within their organization, taking into account various types of existing workloads that already exist in consuming private addressing. And finally, when you think about what happens when you outgrow those blocks that you've assigned to a cluster, what's a good way to move and grow your workload? Do you have to build a new cluster and migrate over? This is something that's not easy for Kubernetes operators to handle. So how have we been making it easier in the Kubernetes community? Well, the first is single-stack IPv6 and IPv4-only support, but namely IPv6-only support, to tap into a whole new addressing scheme, IP address family, that's mostly untouched, minimizes IP conflict.  It was difficult to have a migration path to get there. So next, and most recently, we have introduced dual-stack IPv4 and IPv6 support for Kubernetes clusters. So this helps the story of migrating to v6-only, ensure you can reach v4-only services still, and make sure your application's ready to move in that direction. Finally, we've also introduced multiple cluster-siders support for Node-IPAM. What that means is you no longer need one large contiguous block for your pod-siders. You can add discontiguous blocks and continue to grow as your application, as your workloads grow on your cluster. So which caps are on the horizon that are going to help us? We have the first being multiple service-siders. So what does that mean? Similarly to the multiple cluster-siders, now we can add and actually tune the allocation of service-siders. So we can change that sider size, we can actually tune the IPv6 default, so to meet some of the best practices on the IPv6 side. So something along the lines of what I expressed earlier with the pod-siders. The second is actually reserving static and dynamic allocation for service IP ranges. So this comes in the scenario of minimizing IP conflicts when you might have specific services that need a static or specific service IP. So this new cap is actually helping define what that service range looks like in terms of balancing the fraction that is reserved for static versus dynamic applications. So where will all my IPs go? Well, with those changes that I've mentioned that we've introduced and are up and coming, we can think about the way we move forward for best practices when building Kubernetes clusters. So what does that mean? Let's think about maybe starting with a smaller allocation for these IP address-siders and slowly building and adding dynamically new-siders for the relevant ranges and then build up. The second point is Kubernetes is actually making that push for IPv6. This is what we're actually seeing more and more organizations want to move there. And this might just push what we've been talking about for decades in the networking industry. So moving to IPv6, which is really exciting. And I'm out of time, but before I take off, I want you to get your thoughts on what do you think about mixed-mode service? So a mixed-mode service. We want to hear back at the networking community whether you'd like to mix single stack and dual stack for a service. That's the limitation today. So we'd love your feedback on that. And that's my time. So thank you very much.


What's going on infinite and welcome back to another video. If you guys are new to the channel, make sure you guys hit that subscribe button, turn on your post notification bell, leave a positive comment down below for a chance to get a post notification shout out at the end of today's video. Dang guys, I feel like it's been a while since your boy's done a prank. It really has been, I feel, a couple of weeks. I'm not sure when's the last prank I did, but that's gonna change today. As you guys can tell by title and thumbnail of the video, your boy's basically gonna be getting a nose piercing to see how my girlfriend reacts. Now Janice is currently in the bathroom. She's getting ready. She's using the bathroom, taking a shower, doing all that good stuff. I know I have a lot of time to do the intro because like I said, girls be taking forever to get ready. I don't know why. But yeah, the other day I went on Amazon and I ordered this fake nose ring. Now this is something, I don't know if you guys can see it. It's really small. But Janice has been wanting me to get a nose ring for I don't know how long. She tells me I would look so attractive wearing it and whatnot. I don't know. I can't see myself with any facial piercings at all. When I was younger in middle school, I wanted my eyebrow pierced. Now I'm looking back and I'm like, no, absolutely not. So yeah, I don't know. Piercings is really not my thing, but she thinks I'd look great in it and she honestly wants me to get so bad. So today we're gonna be pranking her. I'm gonna go slip this on. It's literally just like a slip on kind of thing, but it looks really real. I'll show you guys when I put it on. And then I'm basically just gonna set up the camera. We're gonna wait for her to see and get her reaction.  And then she's gonna be so sad when I take it off and be like, babe, it's fake. But yeah, guys, also comment down below Team Isaiah all day every day. We are back with the bangers, guys. We're in a new house, so you know what that means. New heat, new bangers, new pranks. If you guys are ready for today's video, make sure you guys smash that thumbs up button. Again, comment down below, Team Isaiah. And let's get it. Okay, guys, so she's in the bathroom right now. I don't know if you guys can hear the blow dryer. She's still doing her hair, but this is how the nose ring looks. It looks pretty real if you guys ask me. But right now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna knock on the door or like scream her name. And I'm gonna tell her to come out there and have a surprise that I wanna show her and then we'll catch her reaction there. Again, if you guys are ready, make sure you guys comment down below Team Isaiah all day every day. Give this video a big thumbs up and let's get into it. Babe! You scared me! How did I scare you?   Finishing touches are still doing your hair. What do you want? I have a surprise I wanna show you. What? Well, you gotta step out first, but don't like barge open the door. Like come out slowly. Okay, are you ready? Open slowly, slowly. Stay behind the door. Stay behind the door. Stay behind the door. Just follow my instructions, okay? All right, so I got something done this morning while I was out. Don't come around the door. Don't come around me. So I got something done this morning when I was done. Stop, why are you touching my hair? Why are you, what are you doing? Go behind the door. Why are you hiding behind the door? Because I have to show you something. I got something done this morning while I was out. God, it's gonna be done. It's something that you wanted me to do for a while now, all right? But I want you to guess first what you might think it is. You got more rings? No, what, no. Why would I get more rings now? So, okay, I'll give you a hint. You got something done. Yeah, you wanted me to do it for a while. What? I'll give you a hint. It's one of two things, all right? It's either a tattoo or it's a piercing.  Guess which one you think I got? You ain't got a tattoo. You don't know that. You didn't get a piercing either. You don't know that. Stop, stay behind the door. Stay behind the door. Why? Don't ruin it. I'm not ruining anything. You're hiding for what? You said you had a surprise. Yes, which one do you think it is tattoo or piercing? Neither of them. I don't believe you. It's one of them.  I promise you it's one of them. I promise. Look, Pinky promise. Tell me what that is doing. Pinky promise. It's one of them. Just pick which one do you think I got? Come on, y'all. Don't leave me hanging, come on. No way. All right, which one do you think? Tattoo or piercing? Go. Stop, don't try to spoil it. Tattoo or piercing, let's go. A piercing. Okay, where? No, stop. I got the nose piercing. I got it. No, you didn't. Yes, I did. Don't touch it. I'm not going to touch it. I still feel like my nostrils are throbbing. They were trying to give me the stud, the little dot thing. Yeah, I was going to say, they were supposed to give you the stud first. I told them I wanted the ring and they were like, all right, but they were like, you know there's a chance that it could get infected. And I was like, I'll take the chance. Holy. Don't touch it. Please don't touch it. It hurts. That thing is babe. What? That piercing is thick. Thick? Thin? What does it matter? Oh my God, that was... That bad? I'm not going to lie.  Why would you get it? I'm showing you, it wasn't a surprise. Please don't touch it. Please don't touch it. I don't know, I'm still getting used to it. Well, you can always take it out. I'm still getting used to it. Oh babe, you look cute. It's weird though. I don't know. I don't know if I got it on the right side. I don't know. It doesn't really matter the side. You just had to like, dress the... Like, I don't know. But aren't you supposed to get... Aren't you like guys supposed to get like piercings like on the left side or something like that? Like, isn't that like a rule when it came to earrings? It was like, if you had one, it had... I don't know, babe. I don't know about that stuff. I don't know. I don't know. Is it on the right side? I think it doesn't matter. Are you sure? Are you lying to me? I like it.  No, I think it's different. Okay, looking at it in the line. Okay. Yeah, babe, it looks actually nice because like a lot of people, it doesn't suit them. It suits you. You have such a nice nose. Thanks, I guess. You do! You just look so handsome! I got silver, but I want to get another one. I want to get gold. I think gold will look better. Really? I got silver because all I wear is silver. No, I just think with your skin tone, like gold will look a lot better. And you have to get a thinner ring. I think it's just because the ring is so thick. Like, I don't know. It looks like a little... I think thicker would look better. No, babe. I think a thinner one would look better. It would look smaller. That's like really big, that ring. No, it's not. It's thin. No, it's not thin. I've seen thinner. Yo, if you give me $5, I'll rip it out right now. Why would you do that? Don't rip it. Don't let me hurt yourself.  Don't rip it. Well, how am I supposed to take it out? They never told me how to take it out. Where did you go? You worked with some janky eyes, please. Some days in the closet, no, next to Publix. There was like a piercing shop. Oh my God, that's janky! All right, well, they got the gel, though. What does it matter where I got it? How do I take it off? Babe, they're supposed to give you aftercare and all of that. Bro, I told them I got alcohol at home. I just... No, you don't even clean your alcohol. How do I take it off? I want to show you the hole. Why? Because it looks cool. You can't take it out. You need to let it heal. Babe, how do I take it? Am I supposed to pull it out? Does it unlatch? Babe, I don't know. I never had a nose piercing. I'm just going to pull it out. No! I'm going to pull it out. No, I know you're not supposed to do that. I'm going to pull it out. No! Stop! Stop! Because no, you're going to make me hit it. You're going to make me hit it. Stop, you're going to make me hit it. Bro, six weeks. No. No, just pull it. Look, arms length. Don't pull it.  Okay, I will take it out gently. No. Yes. Look at it on Google first. Why would I look at it on Google? How do I probably take out a piercing and nose one? I'm just going to... Alright, hold on. I'm going to pull it out. I'm just going to pull it out a little bit. Just don't come near me because then you're going to scare me and I'm going to yank it. Bro, how am I supposed to... I'm going to take it off. Don't pull it. Look, it's fake. Look, it's fake. Damn, why is that a six? You know how I would never get a nose piercing? Here, you can use it though. Why not?   No, I don't. No, seriously, take it. Let me see. Why? It's not... It's like a mantra. Yeah, a little dot because it was tight. It's not real though. That's what she said. That is what she said. Alright, so the damn, y'all feel like you like me a little more. I feel like you like me better with a nose ring. No, I actually like it without it. No, look, now you're acting different, bro.  You've been acting funny ever since I got a nose ring. Oh my gosh. Who likes to do it in your hair, bro? You've been acting funny ever since I got a nose ring. No, I actually like you without it, babe. Oh yeah, really? You're perfect without it. Don't, don't blemish your skin. You was talking all that kaka for the past couple of weeks. Oh, I think you should get a nose ring. I think it'd look good on you. I think you'd look sexy. Nah, nah, I changed my mind. I don't like you no more. Oh, so now I'm ugly.  You see that in your fam, now I'm ugly. Yeah, the prank started. Did we, did we just flick my lip? Yes, I did. Go now. Ow! You walked into that one, I'm sorry, but you walked into that one. Go, go finish your hair. We got, I want, I want to eat. All right, for the fam, so that is it for today's video. I really feel like my girlfriend liked me a lot better when I had that nose ring in. That's not true. I don't know, bro. Your true colors are starting to show. It's starting to show. I feel uneasy about this now. How? I feel uneasy about this. I don't know if this is gonna last now because with that nose ring, I felt like I was getting treated differently. No, you weren't. I felt like I was being treated like a king. Oh, whatever, you're doing the most. What? No, seriously guys, if you guys are interested in this video, make sure you guys smash that thumbs up button, comment down below to see what I say. You guys already know we're coming with the bangers, the heat, and the new house. New house, new pranks. Okay. You're so jelly. Get out of here, bro. This is my outro, let's get out of here. All right, bye. Get out of here. So yeah, guys, that is it for today's video. It is time for today's post notification shoutout. Today's post notification shoutout goes out to Sean Solville. Shout out to you, bro. Thank you so much for the love and support.
