Welcome guys to another battle vid. Now this time it's going to be an interesting one because we're trying to find out the best true wireless Buds to pick up. Now they are a bunch here, but we definitely know that the AirPods Pro 2 are new to the market and they are here to compete. And of course, in this case, it will be competing against a bunch of true wireless Buds. That includes the Sony WF-1000XM4s, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, the Sony Link Buds S. The bare dynamic FreeBirds as well as the Pixel Buds Pro. So let's start off with at least some of the commonalities with these devices. Now they all have some kind of rapid charging with of course a wired connector. Usually around five to 10 minutes of charge would give you an hour for all these devices. All of them except the AirPods 2 Pro use USB Type-C. Of course, Apple's still using Lightning for charging here. Now in terms of wireless charging, all except the Link Buds S have wireless charging. That's a bit of a bummer there, but also it's in slightly different price category. Now in terms of cases and design, which is the smallest, most comfortable, I'll have to lean with both the AirPods Pro 2 and the Link Buds S in terms of the cases. They're smaller, more compact. The AirPods Pro 2, it's a little bit slimmer, but those are the smaller cases. Now when it comes to design of each of the Buds themselves, of course they all have different designs and which are the smallest and the most comfortable in terms of fit. That easily goes to the Link Buds S. It's got a very light fit, very comfortable with them. And then going next to that actually are the Pixel Buds Pro in my opinion. And then we have the AirPods Pro 2, which is very comfortable and light. Then the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are coming a very close second. Then we have the two big boys here. It's either between, at the very bottom, it's even between the Bear Dynamic Freebirds and the XM4, they're rather large and also they do have pretty big drivers in there for these devices. So we see how the fit is for these earbuds. What about the main category? So let's start off, of course, with one that everybody cares about, Active Noise Cancellation. So speaking of Active Noise Cancellation, all these wireless Buds support Active Noise Cancellation, but who has the best? Apple has come and said the AirPods Pro 2 have 2X the Active Noise Cancellation from its previous model. But how does it stack here against all of them? Now, they all do have some really solid ANC, but from my, of course, research and opinion, using it in traffic, on the subway, on flights, all that jazz, I have to give the winner to the WF-1000 Mark Force. They have some really excellent noise canceling. Sony does a really good job there, and it almost blocks out completely everything. Now these are larger, so unless you get a good fit in your ear, that's where you might see some downsides. Followed by the Link Buds S, they're super light, they fit really well, have a tight fit, and excellent noise cancellation. Now you're thinking, where is Apple? Well, Apple comes in third with the AirPods Pro 2, really solid Active Noise Cancellation. Does a really good job to take the cake here. Number four is the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. It's coming in really close, but you can hear the slight differences, especially between that and the AirPods Pro 2. Then after that are the Pixel Buds Pro. Solid Active Noise Cancellation doesn't come up to the top tier, and finally the free, Red Dynamic Free Reds, which have decent noise cancellation, but nothing spectacular. So we've seen that there, and that's quite interesting. Now, what about transparency mode? Or of course, if you like to call it transparency mode, I forgot what else, somebody else calls it. Anyway, with transparency mode for all these true wireless buds, there's only one king. There was one king in the past, and that king still remains, and that is the AirPods Pro 2. AirPods Pro 2's transparency mode is absolutely fantastic. It is very crisp, very clear. It allows you to listen to conversations quite clearly. It doesn't feel robotic or fake. Coming in next. After that are the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro. Huge improvement from Samsung here in this category. They've done a good job in making it more finite, not as robust as Apple's. Then we have, of course, the Pixel Buds Pro, which also do a really good job with transparency. Then we have the Link Buds S, and then we also have the Red Dynamic Free Reds, and finally are the WXM4, which are good, but they're pretty much last year being very robotic in sound, but good enough for your conversations. Two of these true wireless buds do have some kind of adaptive or dynamic transparency, and Apple has that as well as also Sony. Sony has it with the XM4s and the Link Buds S. Now when it comes to the adaptability of it, I give that edge to Sony, just because Sony has a better functionality, in my opinion, from use case of using its AI functionality to track where you are, so that it changes the location if you're sitting or if you're on the subway, it knows it by geolocation, and it does a better job, as opposed to Apple's, which is trying to figure out just what sounds are available in the area, and it changes with that reflection. For me, the Sony version works well with the XM4 and the Link Buds S over, of course, the AirPods Pro 2. Okay, down to the big brass tax, what about sound? This is where, for me, it's the most important part, it might not be for everyone, but everybody needs to know that. What about audio quality? Now let's put it here first. Each and every one of these two wireless Buds sound fantastic, they really do a good job in giving you one of the highest levels of audio quality you're looking for in true wireless Buds. But I'm gonna start at the very bottom, and I think which will take last place in this case, and that is the Pixel Buds Pro. I know you're thinking, whoa, Pixel's done a really good job. Well, they have, but in this category here, they do a good job, especially with the lows that come out really well, so you've got some good bass, but the mids and the highs are really close together, not as robust as I was allowed like. And also the volume levels are not as balanced, so you do have to increase the volume more to get more of that sound, but still a good sounding true wireless Buds. So I'm gonna move that to the side. Now, next up here, this is gonna be an interesting one, are the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro? I put them a step above the Pixel Buds Pro. They sound really good, and you can mess around with the EQs that Samsung has within this application to find the right sound for you. They've done a good job, especially supporting high-end codecs with Samsung's specific codec, so you can listen to basically high-res or 24-bit audio, so you're getting better audio quality from it. Really robust, nice, but doesn't hit the full range, especially within the full separations in your high mids and your lows. So setting that aside. Next up are the AirPods Pro 2. Now the AirPods Pro 2 do a really good job in expanding from what Apple has done from the original AirPods Pro, where there's much better bass, there's really good highs, but the mids are not as separate as I would like, but the overall combination works well. Dynamic EQ tries to balance a lot of that out there, so you're getting good sound from the AirPods Pro 2. Now after that, I go to the Link Buds S. Link Buds S really sounds really good, especially at its price point and what you can pick it up for right now. You've got some really good audio, great separation, you also have some really solid EQs you can play around with in the app, but I do like the separation between the highs, mids, and the lows. Now the lows or the bass is not as robust as some of the others, but it's good enough for me and there's some really good separation on the tracks. And then, second is the freebreds. The freebreds do a really good job of giving you warm, rich sound. There's such great separation, lows come in well, so people who like that were gonna get some really good audios because you've got some really nice solid drivers in here. And the number one spot, to me, still goes to the WF-1000XM4s. Great separation all the way through, it's so warm, it's rich, it feels like someone is just singing a lullaby in your ear, very warm sound, very rich, and great expanse. Now, when it comes to the microphones, which is another thing that's really important by having phone calls, they all have really good microphones, some are better than others, and just to quickly run through at the bottom are the XM4s. Then you're gonna move up to the freebreds where the freebreds have a good mic, but nothing too fantastic. And then it's actually kind of like a tie between the Pixel Buds and slightly above that are the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, and then the best microphone is still from Apple with the AirPods Pro 2. Very solid, very clear, again, the stuff they've done with the H2 chip really resonates here in terms of just voice quality and some of the noise cancellation they do for voice calls, which is actually fantastic. So now, what about battery life? When you look at all of them, Sony takes the bottom spot with battery life because the Link Buds S are around 20 hours of battery life with the case while the XM4s are 24 hours, even though the XM4 does have 12 hours of individual use, which is great, but it's just 24. Then followed by the freebreds, which come in with 30 hours of battery life, as well as also the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and the AirPods 2 Pro, while the Pixel Buds Pro come in at 31 hours of battery life. In terms of ANC use altogether, the Pixel Buds Pro have the longest battery life, but the AirPods 2 Pro without ANC does 36 hours with the case. So take that as you will. I think in terms of battery life though, you've got a good selection that at least should get to you up to about 24 hours, so. Now all the Shihuahla's Buds have extended functionality as well. Some are better than others. The bed dynamic freebreds have a simple app that doesn't do too much other than toggling between your active noise cancellation. Pixel Buds do a little bit more. They have some custom EQs that you cannot use just yet. And then when you go to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, they do have a much better app, allowing you to change things and also balance the EQs. The Apple AirPods Pro 2 have a better built-in app within your iPhone settings that allows you to do more, like also personalized spatial audio, which only Sony matches with that personalized spatial audio with the XM4s and the Ling Buds S. Now Sony has the more robust app in terms of functionality and use case, while Apple has a simpler met up of setting up spatial audio compared to Sony's 360 audio, which feels a little bit just hard and dated to actually set up. Okay, this is a very difficult choice. Daniel's looking at me like you wimp, pick a device. Yes, all of them sound great. All of them have one in different categories and they bring some really great features. But I'm gonna pick as an overall basis, including price as a factor as well. And for me, that will be the Ling Buds S. I think when you look at its price point and what it brings together, it's probably one of the best cost effective true wireless Buds to use. Now, this is not saying that the AirPods Pro 2 are a slouch, they are really good, and they stack up pretty well as you can see against the XM4s and also they bear dynamic free beds at its price point. So I'll say for me, definitely this, you're in the Apple ecosystem, you definitely know that the AirPods Pro 2 are your choice and these are solid pair to pick, but any one of them can be picked. So if you wanna do so, use your links down below so you can select the ones you want and purchase. And if you're thinking of upgrading from the AirPods Pro, the original, wondering, does this actually, is it actually worth it? Well, check out my next video on this, comparing the AirPods Pro versus the AirPods Pro 2.

Jimmy Kay here, Metal Voice. Look at this. The Metal Voice shirts are now on sale. Just go to the video description to find out on how you can purchase one. Metal! Welcome to the Metal Voice. Alan, not one, but two. Oh, the dynamic duo themselves from the Dead Daisies. We've got Doug Aldridge and Glenn Hughes. Good morning. Hi guys. There we are. Great to have you guys. Holy Ground, the Dead Daisies on SPV. January 22nd, 2021, the new album. Very excited. I have not been able to stop listening to it since the copy came out here. It seems to me like it's a completely different beast now that Glenn's in the band. I don't know if you agree, Doug? It's absolutely. It's a brand new day, man. We're very, very happy to have Glenn leading this ship. It's like a revolution for the band. It's still the Dead Daisies, but it's a brand new start. We're very excited. Yeah, it's another chapter in my life. It was a good experience for me to come into this. Doug's an old friend and a loved dog. It's a great, great ship. We're flying here. I remember years ago, driving through New England. Glenn Hughes was performing in New England. Who's his guitar player? Doug. How far back did your relationship go? We'll go back a lot further, right, G? 25 years. Doug played in my band about five years ago. It was fantastic. Back then, we talked about doing more work. We didn't know it was going to be in the Dead Daisies, but here we are doing just that. Just the opening track alone, the holy ground. You can tell it's a new band, a new statement. Like Glenn said, it's a new chapter for him. It's a new chapter for the Dead Daisies. It started as a roundabout. There's been several lineup changes. It's funny because it's not so far away from Deep Purple in some ways that there were different eras of Deep Purple. When Glenn and David joined, that was a very important big change for the band. To me, it was a great new start for that band. This is a new start. This is a chapter. This is what you call it, version four of the Dead Daisies. Mark four, Mark four. Mark four, yeah. I want to know, okay, I love Karabi and I love the Dead Daisies with Karabi. What's the difference if there was a difference between Glenn, the sound that you're having with Glenn versus the sound you had with John Karabi? It's definitely, I mean, listen, we love John Glenn and our dear friends with John and we were very happy for him, what he's doing. Basically, it's a great change because we're not trying to replace John. We're going in a fresh direction. Glenn basically brings a grooviness to the band and a heaviness to the band that maybe we didn't have like that before with John. We had a little different thing. They're like apples and oranges in terms of what musicality styles. Maybe Glenn could express how he feels, but I feel like it's groovy. Yeah, I mean, it would have been silly to repeat the same formula. You know, John and Mark are very close friends of mine and I was brought into this band to change the game, if you will, and to make it just a different vibe with the same kind of classic rock movement, the same generational values where classic rock is. I don't like the word classic rock or any terminology for rock music. It's just music that we feel is appropriate for this time. And those songs were written before a pandemic and they speak to a lot of people. And so for me to join this band was a beautiful moment for me because I wanted to express myself musically in this band and I was allowed to do that. So we're pressing forward. We're not looking so far back anymore. We're in the moment. We're pressing all the right groovy moments. I think we're just getting on with life. Oh, and you've been quite busy yourself, Glenn. I mean, looking back, you had the Black Country Communion in California Breed and Voodoo Hill, which was made our top 10 list years ago. And now with the Dead Daisy. So are you a restless soul or you're like the energiser, buddy? You can't keep still. You've got to keep... Well, no. I'm both of them, actually. I am a workaholic. I do like to work. I'm a songwriter. That's the source of everything for me is the songs. I mean, I'm all about songs. I just love songwriting. And to express myself as a songwriter in this band is great because we spend a lot of time together, not lately, but last November and December we made the album in France, as you know, and we lived together and we ate together and we laughed together and we rocked together. And it was a great moment. So you can hear on the album that it's a great blend of musicians, all bringing the love to the table. And I'm glad we captured Holy Ground in that moment of time before we were hit with this awful virus. And again, you bring your own style of bass playing, which is really evident on songs like No Weather, right? Yeah. We've got a bass solo in there. But how do you find a synergy with Dean as a rhythm section, playing with Dean? Oh, it's great. As you know, Dean's, because I've played with both Bonham, you know, and coming into with Dean, Dean is a percussive player, real percussive, rock drummer, but real percussive and different flavor for me. So I was hoping we could be very, very simple in our approach and keep it simple. So that's what we did. You know, I gotta say, Alan, to me, like Doug, the heaviness, this drop down heaviness, it's like a wall of guitar sound, Doug. I mean, just talk about that. Well, it's a different sound than what we have. We have a new producer, Ben Gross. He was really exciting to work with. The sound comes from your fingers, but it helps when you got good gear too. And he had a couple of amps that he liked, and I had a couple. But the heaviness of this album, I think more from Glenn, because Glenn's bass should have a, it should be its own country. I love it, man. It's not a distorted heaviness. You know what I'm saying? It's not a distorted, it's a more of a vibe of a heaviness. It's a wall of sound, I guess. Massive. It's a wiry bass sound. It's a sound I've always had, but more so now, since Black Country Community, I've amped it up more gritty. It's really, I come from the early 70s, you know, Chris Guire, Enquistle, myself, that kind of very wiry sound, and that's evident on the Dead Days, his album. So I'm really happy to be part of that. Glenn, I gotta tell you guys, the thing that Glenn said, when Ben was mixing the record, and we didn't know exactly, you know, Ben's a very old school producer. He wouldn't play us the mixes, how it was shaping up or anything. We would just do our work. But he said, so what do you guys think for the mixes?  And Glenn just goes, just make sure you can hear everything I played. That's it. You know, for me, it's like, you know, it's the notes I don't play are as important as the notes I play. I like that space in the groove, you know? I don't come from the style of bass playing or hammer-ons and all that stuff. It's not bass playing for me, but bass playing for me is less is more. In fact, I do like to rage, as you know. Oh, I can't like nor that so well, which is quite spontaneous. But for me, it's all about the big holes in the music. It's very important to have those holes. It goes back to, for me, the word that Doug used previously is you have a groove. There's a groove to your playing. That's what I take away.  And this one seems a little darker, a little bit more introspective. I mean, the song My Faith, to go back to Jimmy's point about darker, that could have been off of the depth sessions with Iomi as far as I'm concerned. It was definitely, you know, as you know, Tony's one of my best friends, and I've got part of him inside of me. We're so close. I just thought, I plagued that song to Doug early on, before we made the album. I said, Do you think this is going to, it's very heavy? That's probably the heaviest riff of the days you've ever done. So I'm glad the band, you know, again, you know, I wrote, hopefully they would like some other stuff I written. And this is the song I thought, you know, they thought it was dark and interesting. And I'm glad it made it on the album. To me, Alan, and everybody far away is the epic track. Doug, far away is, I'm happy you saved it for last, because that is the track off the album for me. Yeah, it's a very special track that Glenn brought. Glenn wrote that in London, and it was, he played me, I'll let him tell you, but he played me the basic aspects he had, and he had everything there. It was all, all the parts were there. It was just a matter of capturing it, which is challenging, but we got it, you know, and then when we got it, when we got Dino's track, I went in and put the guitar on it to make sure that it was, you know, that we were happy with the ups and downs, because that's that track, Breathe, it totally lives, you know, but Glenn, you tell him. I did my last Glenn Hughes solo performance in the UK, November 29th of 019. And I had to fly back to Paris the next day to meet the guys to start on session number two. And I couldn't sleep in Birmingham after the show. And I had a guitar with me, and I just thought, I'm going to come up with something different, a slower song. And by the time I made the plane, I got the music done, and I didn't really have a title. And when I got to La Fabrique, I asked Doug if he'd come to my room, and I played it to him alone. And I, if I can say this to you, I think Doug really, really heard what I was doing. And then, you know, we got, we played around with it, that I called David and Dean to come up to my room. And then we sort of, we fell in love with it. So I went and finished the song, I did the lyrics, and there you have it. And it's a song about coming home. It's a song about, again, being at sea and coming back years later. And here I am.  We love it too. Yeah. Again, what I like about the Dead Daisy's, you got those three minute 45 rock songs. Like nobody does that anymore. Keep it simple. Move on to the next.  So is this, is this the Glenn Hughes thing, is Waterfalls like Rainbows was Ronnie James deal thing?  No one's touched on this before. Good job, Alan. Good job. I'm glad, I'm glad you touched on it. If you listen to my work, even 50 years ago, I was singing about the sea of the ocean on the shore, you know, like Medusa, you know, on the shore, I was always on the shore. And I live, I live on the ocean here in LA. So it's like I'm always singing about the sea. It's enchanting to me. So I thought this, you know, the waterfall, I can't go back to the shore. It's like it's typical Glenn stuff. So I'm tongue in cheek, but it's what I write about. Well, speaking of that, here's Walking on Water, my first introduction to Glenn Hughes back on the ever famous from now on. What is that? That's a cassette or is that an E-track? That's a cassette. Can you believe it? Hey, so look at it. 1993. How funny that walking on water goes back to what you were saying. The lyrics. Okay. I mean, we can get a lot of description on this album, but who took care of most of the lyrics? Is it just everybody contributing? Is that how it worked, Doug? No, Glenn does all the lyrics. Yeah, I'm a lyricist. I, you know, especially on this particular album, it's a song, all these songs are about the human condition. I don't write about fiction. And again, I sing about overcoming fear, letting go into transformation. And waterfalls. And waterfalls. There's always going to be some water in my songs. But again, I'm not afraid to write what I'm feeling, because I think in general, people will go through what I'm singing about and writing about, because it's all about the human condition. And again, written before the pandemic. And if you listen to some of those songs, it's like, it's, wow, really? You didn't know anything about it? I mean, you know, a lot of people are probably writing the same thing about they're writing songs before the pandemic.  Do you guys have another album ready to go since we're stuck in this pandemic? They're writing music continuously? I mean, okay, one album's out, another album's getting ready. I mean... Yeah, finish this renovations first. We made a good start. Yeah, we got stuff cooking. That's what I'm saying. I mean, it's pretty much what everybody's doing now, cooking. Yeah, we're cooking it. And Doug, for yourself, I mean, you got two thirds of Revolution Saints, another album Rise that made our top 10 list in 2020, by the way. So how do you get your mind into writing music? Like, if you're going from one band to another? Well, actually, I didn't really write that much for Revolution Saints on the last record. I put in a little bit of work on it, but it was kind of a, that's been a project. That's not been a band situation, to be honest with you. And I think it's pretty much complete at this point, because I really, just for the past two years, been focused on this change that we were going to make. And once I found out that Glenn was coming in, that management said, you know, talking to Glenn Hughes, I was like, what? That would be amazing. And so I immediately was like, I started, well, they said, Glenn wants to talk to you. So I called Glenn and Glenn goes, it's time. It's time for us to do stuff together. So I was like, killer. So he started working on stuff. And I started working on some things that I thought he would like, because I mean, I wanted to present some music that would inspire Glenn, that we were going to do this together. So it just gave me an opportunity to, I focused directly on what Glenn was going to do with Dead Daisy's and, and presented as much as I could to be helpful.   I wanted to be helpful to him. So I made myself available to help him present his ideas. It was, it was, Doug came over to my house. Oh my God, it must have been seven or eight times. And I demoed stuff with Doug here. And, and you know, that's really how it got going. He was very, very helpful to me, very kind, considerate, loving as he's a lovely, lovely man. And he came over and really brought me into this thing. And I was able to just be me, again, writing for the dead days. I'm not writing for Glenn. I'm writing for what I consider to be the next level of songs for the dead days. And I think we've done a great job on Holy God. We're really excited about it. We want, you know, we hope people enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. We had a blast. I mean, we were so focused. And I think that really shows on the album that it's like, it's not like a bunch of songs chucked together. It's really a whole vibe and movement. And it covers a lot. You know what I noticed? Getting ready for this interview, I go, man, these guys have connections. I mean, the Carverdale connection, the deal connection, there's just so many.  There's just so much history, right?  You opened up for, I mean, deal opened up for, for Deep Purple back in the day at Carverdale. You, Glenn's got Carverdale. Yeah, Carverdale.  So it's all under the umbrella of Mr. Richie Blackmore. We're a family underneath Richie. People ask me, well, yeah, I mean, I didn't mean to say anything wrong, but basically, I'm, I'm a fan of Richie, but I wanted to say this. People ask me like, Hey, how did you get so lucky to work with the greatest heavy metal singer of all time, the greatest blues rock singer of all time, and the voice of rock, the greatest all around, Glenn Hughes. It's like, how, how lucky have I been? What did I do to deserve this? You know, in a good way. How long, I guess, you know, you've got the chops. Maybe that's why. No, it's, it's, no, it's luck. I mean, I, it's luck, but also being friends with, like meeting Glenn and being friends with him, he knew we had jammed a couple of times in little situations. One was in Italy. It was really fun. And we were together at Ronnie's funeral and and we just, you know, have a mutual respect for each other. And when he called and said, I'm doing this tour, my guitar player, Soren's busy and I need somebody I can trust and would you want to go? And I, at that time had been home off the road for a while and was like, I'm ready. Let's go.  And I'm so excited about doing these songs with Glenn from Holy Ground because I know that we're going to raise the level of these songs even more so by playing them live. We've run out with these, we did a rehearsal in October and we played these songs live and they smoke live. They really, really do really kick in. And it's going to be a great show whenever we can get out there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You guys do a lot of covers. Are you guys going to throw in, I don't know, maybe a few Dio songs, a few. No, no, no. I think we, I don't think so. This is again a fresh start for the band. It means we need to, we need to re look at everything and revamp everything.  We did it and it turned out cool.  I don't think there's going to be a lot of covers going forward. I think the Dead Daysies were a cover band and that is now going to change because there's so many songs been written and being written as we speak. I just think the Dead Daysies were a little short of material before and now, you know, I just think it's time to press the boat out and, you know, this band is a killer band. Live streams? I can't wait to see you live. So is there, I mean, nobody's got a timetable, but I would assume that a tour when everything gets back to the semi-normal here, there was a tour. I'm going to go on the edge and say this to you. I have seen some penciled-in shows for Canada. Hey, there you go. Yes, I have. But, you know, I can't say when, but I've seen a Canadian run and I can't say if I say any more than that. Tell us of Montreal's on that pencil and just between us, just between us. I can say that there are shows on the calendar later on in the year. So it's hopefully it'll be okay. People understand. People understand it's a pandemic. You might get postponed. People get it. People are very understanding. I am looking forward to, I played a show in Canada a couple of weeks ago and I've been there forever. It was such a great show and I can't wait to get back there. All right. I think that's pretty much it. Any other plans you guys are doing? Is there any other projects you're working on, Glenn, other than this? No. No, this is it for me. Calling up Tony, I owe me Tony. Let's do something. There's always someone going on with Tony. We've done three albums and you never know. And there's a possibility if you'll be another one. But at this time, it's so hard to say anything because I'm just doing everything I can to make sure the dead days get to as many people as humanly possible. Well, Glenn, you've done a phenomenal job at bringing it to the next level. Doug, how about you, Doug? Is there any other projects you're working on you want to promote? No, I'm just sticking to this for the moment. I want to keep it simple. One of my resolutions of this 21 is to be more focused. And I think we've all gone through musical, we've all got a musical past that covers a lot of ground and everything. But I mean, I really, starting when I was in Dio and White Snake and now with the dead days, is it really, I function better when I focus on one thing at a time and not spring myself too thin. I'm really excited about this lineup with Glenn. And I can't wait for you guys to hear it live. That's the whole thing. So all your viewers and everything, please, we want to send you guys Happy New Year. All the very best for 21. All right. So that's, I got a biography. Now we've got the name of Doug's. If Doug ever wants a right one, it's the luckiest guy in the world. Yeah, absolutely.  You know, Steve, Mario was a close friend of mine. And you know, Steve, look, I love Steve Mario. I mean, I genuinely love him and his family and a dear friend. And I miss him. And he's such an incredible songwriter, performer, singer. So for me, the singer song that he sung, I wanted to change it up a little. I don't know if you heard the acoustic version, it's a little different. But, you know, to sing anything that Steve sang, you have to be very reverent because he was incredible. Singing about booze doesn't make me feel great. I haven't had a drink in a long time. I'm not going to drink again, not today at least. But no, the whole those years ago, it wasn't never, it never worked for me drinking. So as you can see, I'm a much better man sober, much more productive, I might add. I imagine so. All right, guys. That is the Dead Daisies, January 22nd, Holy Ground.    And thank you guys. Thank you so much. You're welcome again. You know, one of my favorite all-time interviews, the favorite all-time interviews with Doug and Dean years ago when they were here at the Dead Daisies. And we were blessed to have you guys here today. You were stretching apart the shirt, the metal voice shirt. And if you remember that, guys, we're ripping it apart. Yes. Yes. Yes. That was a good time. So it's funny. Fun times. Hey, you guys, thank you for what you're doing. Thank you kindly. We'll see you. We'll see you this year, but guys, look at you. Montreal. Montreal. Okay. And everybody, we love you. We love you. I can't wait to come back to Canada. I love you all. Thank you. All right. Thanks guys. Thanks again. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Peace and love. Thanks.

Funny little things tree on that that groups love coming to. That is that that's just because the facilities are probably the best in the country for where all the different groups go to and it's fantastic that that some groups come back here after year. The gun prouder productions come back and they're all the way from Cork all the way to South Cork. They've been with us every years since we started yeah and they're great and that of course the last year or two years ago, it's been a leader learning of course which was great for them but we're delighted to see them over here and they're gan y gomodi, yma. Felly, mae'n gyd yn ôl, maeth, dyma, gallai ei wneud am yna'r phaned Yang Nid, gan ddod i chi i nhw, i'n dweud ar y dŵr anghydd. Dyna'r ymluxfyd. Rhywbodaeth, mae'n ddiddordeb dros. Nid yw'r eich gweithfeydd, mae'n ddim i ddiemwys. Rwy'n ei ddweud aeth gweithfeydd. Sef wrth i'r ddod i chi i gweithfeydd. Dydw'i ddod i chi'n ddod i chi ffordd I'r half-hearted soul into it, so we'd like to see them every year. The Phoenix players from Tuvercore are always a favour as well. Another one, Anna Gaen, they won the All Ireland last year. Last year we had a very good festival last year, we had the two of the winners who won the All Ireland. And for those that don't know we have two sections in it, an open section which is for more established groups and then the confines section for the newer groups so that gives them a chance to get used to the festivals and get adjudications and to improve their plays. Ie, dyma'r dwybod, dylunion hyd ni fydd gofyn am daeth yn ôl yma ar y Gweynig. Ond yn ddod, oedd y chymdeithas, dyma'r dwybod a dydw i chi nhw'n lŷn i'r gyffredinol o ran ein canu. Mae gydig nhw'n rheid i'r cynnig yma. A gan ystod, mae'r cyfnodd yma, o bethau i'r cyfrif такую o gweithio. Maen nhw ychydig o'u gweithio ar y canu, o blwyddyn, fel y Prif, mae'n iawn yma. Maen nhw'n rhaid i'r cyfrif, ar gymwneil ar y canu. ond there's a time, number two that, Flencart. Yeah. That's here we start, on Friday night, sorry, that's Friday the fourth and we have two plays. Normally we have three, but because we have one less we have two this year. We have two groups in the open section. We have theatre three, Newton Abi who are there most years as well, I'm glad to say, and we have the Phoenix湍ch, Robert Corey. The play that starts at half past seven, The other rule is that a play must be a minimum of 25 minutes long and a maximum of 55. If they go over the 55%, there is a penalty, it hasn't happened yet. Last year I was quite close, when the groups were very close, we would never penalize. Once I do, it's just the rules of the festival. If you go over 55 minutes you can be penalized ten marks, which would make it difficult for you to penalize the festival. The play is a 25 to 55. felly sydd yn gyf됴iannol i gael yr angen i'r hyn. Rhywb ni yn dwylo'n cyfrifio a chyrydanol ar y peir. Tewch chi'n cael amser, y byddai'r cael amser ar gyfrifio. Felly, y byddai'r cael amser yn cyfrifio. Mae'r cwyrgrini, rhai, yn goryd ac rhai, o ran i— chi'n cyfrifio a'r cyfrifio'r cyfrifio ar gyfer Cork. Mae gyrwch chi'n cwrwm yn gwylleth ar gyfrifio ar gyfer Cork. Os yma, rhaid o'n fynd phryd. ac we have Rosemary Draimer Group there from Belfast, we have Clon MacHear, where another group from County Mio and then we finished off with another group from County Mio, the Wild River Draimer Group. So that's the lineup for the festival, and it's a really good line, and a really good place and I hope people come out to support it because it's a really good night entertainment. If you haven't looked you're more than welcome to book. prices are really really cheap and mission is only 8 euro yr adroddod Gwyrdain yn ddodol. Ar y brif Weininchis, yn y cyfrifol, ond mae'r adroddod yn принedig ar y Rhyngod O74912077, yn i weithio i'r adroddod Gwyrdain i'r adroddod Gwyrdain. Mae'r adroddod yn gweithio bod gwirionedd. Mae'r adroddod yn gwirionedd ac mae'r adroddod yn gwirionedd, While the adjudication approaches is taking place. That's right. Yeah. On the Saturday night when the adjudicator has to go off and make up with my who's going to win what, we have a wine and cheese party down again in the auditorium free of charge for anybody who is there, and then when everything is all over, everybody gets invited down to the auditorium again, where we have finger food and music that goes on to the finishes to all hours of the morning. So it's really good value for everybody out there. I would really recommend and I hope that anybody and everybody who can come out will come out and support it. Not even for people who enjoy going to watch the, place, but I think it's important for people who are involved in theatre, that you can actually hear what the adjudicator has to say, and pick up and get a few tips for their own performance. And of course we have got the very capable Patrick MacIntyre as adjudicator. He's a very popular adjudicator. We have had the... In 2017 we had the all Ireland drama festival in Lear to Kenny. He was the adjudicator that year and he was a very popular adjudicator and people come up as well because he's there because people like him, he's very impartial and he knows the stuff and he's there, he's our adjudicator and we're lucky to have him, lucky to have him, thank God, yeah. Fantastic and again as opposed just to emphasise the times because I know even though it's advertised in the papers, sometimes people will come in at eight o'clock and maybe miss the first place so it's 7.30 on the Friday night and the Saturday night. And then four o'clock on the Sunday evening. The four o'clock is the one that people may be inclined to miss. That's just to facilitate the groups who have travelled and to give them a chance to go home that night if they're working on the following morning. And can I just also thank the Donegal County Council, they have been our main sponsors for the last couple of years and we're very grateful for the money that they give us because it doesn't come cheap, it costs money to run a festival. So we're very thankful to the Donegal County Council and then on the last night there or on the last day now, as it is, we will have our Mayor, Dolomande Kelly, he will be there to present the prizes on behalf of the council. So we're delighted that he's going to be there with us as well. And this was a sponsorship from the council, so important because all we wanted was to break even and put people to enjoy the theatre. And as regards the judicator, people love to be there. Everybody has their own opinion and oh I like that player, that fellow should have done that. So then they love to hear what the judicator thinks and what the professional thinks and they say oh yes, he has points. So people love to come to the festival just for that reason alone. People come year after year after year just for that to listen to the judicator. After every play he goes up and he gives his critique after every play and he says what I think of every play. And that's what the audiences love that. And of course it's a great way for groups to learn because they have to take a bowl. Oh yeah, I might take a point and maybe we should have done that or he also gives ideas. Maybe you could try this or you could try that. So that's really good for groups. Any group, new groups and unarmed established groups, you're always learning, always learning. And of course the letter Kenny, one act festival is part of the circuit and there's many other one act festivals as well. And the winners go through then to the All Ireland. That's right, yeah the All Ireland is always on in the first weekend of December and it's in Ballanade this year. So any group we win and luckily we had a few groups there last year. And of course as I said we had the two winners there last year in the All Ireland. So yeah it's something for the groups to look forward to. Fantastic, so just looking at the theatre I think I know the number off the hour. There's a 912777 and you can go on our website and focus well. That's right, yeah so hopefully people will come out and support it and have a good three nights of entertainment. Fantastic, well thanks so much Plunk of Partican Time out to talk to me tonight. Thank you very much for having me. Thank you very much.


Cellular senescence is a state of permanent cell growth arrest that occurs as a result of DNA damage and is characterized by resistance to apoptosis, acquisition of a pro-inflammatory phenotype, and accumulation of senescent cells in various tissues. This leads to a variety of age-related diseases and conditions, including chronic inflammation, metabolic dysregulation, stem cell dysfunction, and geriatric syndromes. Stenolytics, drugs that target senescent cells, have been developed to reduce senescent cell burden and alleviate multiple senescence-associated conditions. These drugs have shown promise in pre-clinical studies and are currently undergoing translation into clinical trials. This article was authored by James L. Kirkland and Tamaritconia.


Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casewrakes.com coming at you with a prism baseball sell-out pack break, giving away six of those hip parade goat spots, greatest of all time spots. It's gonna be a pretty nice break. We're gonna get to that later tonight. Big thanks to this group for making this happen. Appreciate it. We've got all the names right here, or all the names and teams. So the first ice roll will be for just the quick pack break. The second ice roll will be for the giveaway part. Let's roll it, randomize it, five and a one, six times. One, two, three, four, five, and a one, six in final time. Then five and a one, six times for the teams. One, two, and there's still spots available. If you don't want to deal with these fillers, the risk on these fillers, there's still spots available straight up. Alright, so there's the first half of the list right here, second half of the list over here. No trade windows and filler breaks. Let's just print. Let's just rip. Alright, here's the final print out, hot off the presses. Yeah, I'm almost certain that goat product is just one card per box. I can't imagine with a checklist like that, there'd be multiple cards a box. Alright, some red, white, and blues. Nice Cabrine Hayes, red, white, and blue. Going to get into this pay sleeve here. There we go. Going to Rex and the Pirates. Alright, now the whole point of this is not necessarily the pack break, but who's going to win those goat spots, head parade goat spots. So let's gather everybody's names again. New dice, new list, and it'll be the top six, top six after nine, six and a three. One, two, three, eight, and good luck. Ninth and final time after nine. It'll be the top six. So from seven on down. Sad times. But there are got to do a couple more of these fillers. So there are extra opportunities if you want to give this another shot on jazby's casebreaks.com. Thank you. Top six happy times because you're in the mixer or they're in the goat break. Stephen Flat, Stephen, David, Brian, Adam, and Michael. So congrats to the top six here. Thank you. And we'll see you a little bit later tonight for that goat break. Bye bye.


Hello. Welcome to this Mechanics of Materials mini-lecture. My name is Calvin Ranz and today we're going to talk about stress. Now this isn't the type of stress you feel while studying for an exam, or the stress that builds up in you when you're going to ask out that special someone. Today we're actually going to talk about the stress that materials feel when we subject them to load. Let's get started. Consider a hanging weight system pictured here. We have a weight of mass m hanging from a rod that is rigidly connected at its other end. In this example, let's also neglect the weight of the rod and let's assume that the system is in static equilibrium. If we take a closer look at the center portion of that rod and cut it away and remove it from the system, we will recall from statics that we have to apply forces at either end to maintain equilibrium. In this case, we also know that the force is equal to the mass of the weight times the acceleration due to gravity. What else do we know about this force F? We know that it has the units of newtons. We also know that it's a vector quantity with both a magnitude and a direction. We know that acts at an infinitesimal point and the force has all forces is a resultant of an interaction. In this particular case, the interaction is between the acceleration due to gravity and the mass in the weight. The force is also a resultant of another interaction and that is what is actually happening on that cross-sectional surface. We know that it is physically impossible for us to have a force acting at an infinitesimal point. In reality, that force will be distributed over that cross-sectional area. We will call this distributed force stress and denote it by the Greek letter sigma. We also know that if we integrate that stress over that cross-sectional area, we get exactly the resultant force. So what else do we know about this new concept of stress? Well, it has the units of force per unit area because if we integrate it over an area, we will get force. It also is a vector quantity because it has both a magnitude and a direction associated with it and it acts at an infinitesimal point just like force. And what it actually represents is the intensity of a resultant force at a particular point. Looking at stress in this manner and looking at the units of stress, you might ask yourself, is stress just simply force divided by area? Well, not exactly. Stress is actually the intensity of a force and although force divided by area might actually be a nice approximation of what the stress distribution is in an actual case, stress is actually the limit of force divided by area as that area approaches zero. And the reason this is important is there may be some cases where you have higher stresses acting on a surface and in other areas lower, as shown on the right here, you could have a distributed level of stress. And this is important in materials, the performance of the materials and in the failure of materials where the average stress shown on the left might actually get you into trouble. I find it's easier for students to remember this danger of using an average stress assumption by using an analogy that relates a little bit more to what the students are experiencing now and that is the stress associated with the typical university course. Now if you look at what stress is for a student in a course, it's related to their studying, their rate of learning or accumulation of knowledge. That is the intensity whereas the resultant of a course is the overall knowledge to learn, the knowledge gained. So let's take a look at visually what the assumption of an average stress in the context of a university course would look like. If we plot the stress associated with learning over time or the duration of the course, you might assume that that stress is evenly distributed over the duration of that course. However, experience probably tells you that there are stress raisers during a course, midterm exams, assignment deadlines, final exams that really result in peak levels of stress. And those peak levels might actually cause the student to reach their breaking point and ultimately fail a course. The same thing can happen in materials. So please be careful when assuming an average stress level within a material.


Yeah, welcome back to the fire and water cooking channel. I'm Darren and today I'm gonna do something just a little bit different something. I haven't done before my son older son's wedding is coming up in a couple weeks and I've agreed to go ahead and do the rehearsal dinner have it at our house and We're gonna have about 35 or so people over and what I'm gonna do is make a taco bar a big taco bar and I'm gonna have a couple different meats and stuff for the tacos and all the other accompaniments. One of the things I've never made before For something like this is carnitas. So that's what I'm gonna do today I'm gonna run a test recipe for our lunch tomorrow So in a couple weeks when I have to do it for the wedding I got the recipe down. So what I'm gonna take this is about an eight pound pork butt. It's a bone in I'm gonna use that for our carnitas. I'm gonna use a little bit of this mojo marinade We're gonna sous vide this in the and with the marinade in the In our cooler outside and I'm gonna do it for 24 hours at 165 So I'm gonna cook it a little hotter because we do want this pull apart for tacos Like I said sous vide for 24 hours at 165 Then we're gonna pull it out and then we're gonna crisp it up I'm gonna do we serve actually I'm gonna mix up my marinade first and I'm gonna put it in this bowl And what I'm gonna do is get that all mixed up and then when I cut this Pork up. I'm gonna throw that in the bowl and then mix it up with the pork So I'm gonna go ahead and dump. I got about two tablespoons of the dehydrated onions About a tablespoon each of black pepper and kosher salt And about four tablespoons of that taco seasoning and then about another tablespoon of the garlic powder So there are all my dry ingredients now. I'm gonna put about I'm gonna eyeball this But I'm gonna put about a half a cup of this mojo marinade in there And this has got a lot of that seasoning in it already so It's a little over a half a cup It'll be fine. Then I'm gonna put my Lime and lemon in there Squeeze it into my hand so I can get the seeds and I'm gonna take my whisk and just kind of whisk All these ingredients together And if it seems a little too dry or too wet you can If it's a little too dry you can add a little bit more of the mojo marinade or you can add a little bit of Addressing or something to it a little oil. I'm going to add just a little bit more of this mojo marinade That all mix together this pork butt and I'm just going to cut it not too small pieces just Good-sized hunks like this Because what we want to do we want it to you know, like I said the more surface area We have that this marinade is going to cover The better so you know, I would just cut it into hand fist-sized chunks Make sure you keep all that fat on there That fat's going to help this Taste really all right guys. I got it all chopped up and put in them bowl with the marinade and all I'm going to do is just Make sure I mix this all up real well that the marinade coats the Pork really good. We're gonna all we're going to do is throw all this into the sous vide bag. Anyway So we can also once we get it in the bag make sure it's um All mixed together real well is also so I'm going to go ahead and mix this up really good And then we're going to throw it in the sous vide bag since I got a lot of pork I'm going to use one of my expandable bags and what I've done is I fold it over the outside edge here Just so that I can have a clean edge when I go to vacuum seal it So I'm just going to go ahead and toss these pork pieces Right into the bag Just getting you that little bit of that So I got it all in the bag now And I'm going to go ahead and fold this And we're going to seal it in the vacuum sealer And since we got some moisture in there I'm going to use the moist setting, but I actually cut the bag a little longer than it's necessary So that um We have some more space For that moisture Like always When I use these big thick bags and just about any time I double seal The vacuum sealer bags just to make sure especially when we're doing hotter longer cooks like this And especially since we're using the plated bags. So And I said I just popped the top Hit the seal bar one more time And then We're going to get ready to throw these in the sous vide An hour and 24 hours the pork has done cooking in the sous vide And there's lots of lots and lots of fat and juice in there And I'm going to go ahead and get it out of the bag But I'm going to throw it in this pan broken down Then I'm going to add just a little bit more of the Taco seasoning and a little bit of the lemon pepper kind of keep that Keep that tropical type taste to it. So I'm going to go ahead and get this out of the bag Put it in this pan. All right. All what I've done is I've got my grill My pellet grill cranked up all the way About 10 50 minutes ago. So it's getting close to uh maxing out the temp. So I've got my pork I'll put in here in this container and like I said, I'm going to go ahead And just add just a little bit more of the taco seasoning Not a whole ton because it's already seasoned pretty good And then I'm going to hit it with a little lemon pepper Not a ton like I said Just give a little bit more of that lemony taste And then I'm going to go ahead and use my hands to just mix it all up Break it all down. Then we're going to throw it on the grill and let it get crisped up at a real high temperature All right guys, it is done It's got just a little bit of color to it there heated it up pretty good Got a nice crispy crust on top and I'm going to go ahead Just make me a little bite here Kind of mix it up. It's nice and hot and I make it like I was going to make my own taco here. There we go Show it.  I'm going to go ahead and Fold it up take a bite Still nice and hot and I can taste that mojo And the taco seasoning just a hint not too strong Cooking it sous vide makes it really easy. I can just throw it in keep it in there for 24 hours Not have to worry about it. Just let it cook out there in the cooler Throw it on the grill for 15 20 minutes. Get a nice color and it turns out perfect So give it a try guys. Make sure you like this video subscribe Follow us on facebook and instagram. Thanks again. I'll see you on the next video

Even though it's not discipline specific and it's not specific to your role, it can provide a great sense of comfort. It also allows you to explore a lot of those things that maybe you weren't necessarily sure how to fit into your work day. So it almost gives you permission to do some extra reading or to do some exploring or to listen to podcasts or to talk to your peers in ways that I think are ultimately quite helpful to new instructors. The thing that really stands out to me is this ability to form relationships with my colleagues through the TDP but also the ability to form relationships with the folks at the CTL. I feel like there were always opportunities for individuals to bounce ideas off of one another and to receive feedback. And through those experiences, we were able to create relationships that were maintained beyond the TDP. So now I feel like I have my own community of academics that I can continue to work with. Teaching development program or TDP was a very valuable experience to me because it helped me connect with other instructors who were going through the same process. So we got to share each other's experiences as well as discuss how we would use those strategies and those resources to improve our specific teaching challenges. Throughout this program, I was in close contact with a senior educational developer. So they started with learning my goals, my interests. So I had individual meeting with them. The thing that stands out the most is the ISW. So doing the instructional skills workshop. I was able to partake in a teaching intensive where I was able to try lots of new things very quickly. That was something that challenged me in a way where I got to see some real progress in a short amount of time. So I would say this program actually gave me a clear vision for incorporating relevant educational practices in my classes and how I can incorporate team-based learning. Because I learned from other participants that they are implementing open education resources and then I learned from them, heard from them and then I incorporated it into my classes. I was also pushed to try some technology that I don't typically use. So I've never listened to a podcast before the TDP and it was interesting to find that and it was also interesting in terms of the resources that other people had available to them. And a lot of the other new faculty would share their worksheet or their assignment. The program makes it very easy to be engaged by making your commitments as flexible as possible. There are a few in-person sessions that you attend. However, a lot of the other sessions such as workshops are either offered hybrid or are scheduled according to your own preferences. I find that the commitment was quite flexible. There were many different offerings for all the requirements of the TDP. So even though there were many boxes to tick off, it didn't feel like a stressful process.


A very good evening to you friends back at home and thank you so much for joining us here at 2254. This is the news highlights and my name is Elisabeth Nguena. So our conversation today is going to be all about breakups, bad breakups for that matter. We're going to look at how we can turn, how we can make a breakup to be a stepping stone to growth or to the next levels of our lives as opposed to allowing it to destroy us, allowing it to give up in life or make bad decisions. So for that discussion with me in the studio, I have a very fiery woman who first has us taking the topic and you're going to be getting her insights on the same. So remember you can follow this conversation on our social media pages at 2254, I try to find a channel that is on Twitter and at Nguena underscore Lizzie on Twitter as well. So at this point I'll give you a chance to introduce yourself. Good evening viewers, my name is Angela Couture. I'm an inspirational speaker and a transformational coach. Okay well thank you so much. Angela, it's always a pleasure having you here at the studio. Thank you. Yeah and thank you for coming. So without, you know, let's just get to the topic. I understand the breakups cause a lot of damage to an individual. So how much, to what extent does it affect someone psychologically, emotionally and socially? I would say that breakups in most cases don't just affect the person alone. It affects, like you say, socially. So the society, the people that maybe they mingle with or do even business with. So it is something that in most cases it affects the person plus the people who are around that person. And I would say it can affect you mostly emotionally and mentally. But some of the breakups can even affect you financially. In cases where you lose money in the cost of a breakup or you end up getting sick and having to go to hospital. So there's a lot of loss that can happen. And so when someone has experienced the breakup, first of all let us look at, I usually, my friends tell me and I've also gone through a heartbreak. And there's that point where you just wonder how am I going to get through this? Like what would you tell a person who is going through that stage where you, yeah. Speaking from experience and even having interacted with many other people. And having even looked at my story even much deeper. Because I was in a marriage that, I can say marriage in courts because it was in a marriage that was, we were in the same level of communication because I was communicating openly and honestly. But he was communicating openly but not honestly. So we ended up breaking up and it was really messy because it affected me so much including my children. Also children are also involved in this breakup. There is no way you can say that you went through a heartbreak and it did not affect your children if you have children. Well no, I just imagine it's much messier when children are involved. You know, you're just not caring for your emotional needs. Now you have added other people who are affected emotionally. Yeah, and even in other cases, when we are in a relationship, many people out there, our friends and our families, if we are in a relationship that is not good for us, they always see and they always tell us. So the breakup will also affect them in the kind of, let's say the way you relate with them.  Oh yeah, it can make you withdraw at your worst point. Yes, it can make you even withdraw more. And you end up even losing friends and even some of the family members don't look at you the same way. Okay, and so now yeah, my point was at that point, how can you tell a person, how will they deal with this? Like I usually imagine the first, like one week, two weeks, it's different for everyone. But that period of time after it just happened, what can you tell a person to help them overcome it and feel that it's not the end of the world? The first thing that I think people should do is to acknowledge that yes, it has happened. Come to terms with it and accept that it's true, it has happened. Sometimes people cling so much into the relationship that has already ended. Instead of looking at it like, yes, it has already ended and I need to flip the next page of my story because we are here to write stories or maybe God is using us to write stories. And know that story has ended or that page has ended. So you need to flip your page and start writing a new story. So first accept that it has happened, acknowledge. Then now start looking deeper into yourself and ask yourself, what did I do to contribute to this breakup? Because if you do not take responsibility for things that happened to you and nothing happens to us without us contributing to it. So if you do not take responsibility for that, then you end up even start blaming other people, the person who has hurt you and even other people who are around you. You can tell me, those who didn't tell you that it was wrong, why didn't you guys tell me that you should have done this and that? Instead of taking that responsibility and acknowledging yes, it is my responsibility to take care of myself and not to allow people to treat me the way they did. Well, we have common way millennials approach breakups. So most of the time when someone has broken up with a partner, you'll find them mostly talking about talking ill of their person and their family. You'll find them, you know, they just want to sleep around with other people, they fake healing. Like, you know, you get someone it's just a few days after and they are like, I am 100% okay. I'm ready to get into the game. Or you find others who go, who find refuge in drug abuse and alcohol. So what would you comment first on your state of mind? And then, yeah, these coping mechanisms really? Yeah, some people range so much and they even end up abusing. And many times you find that it's like these people are not really moving on. They are not able to even start moving on. So it is important to just know what happened and start moving. Start doing something about it. Don't just stick into that hurting position. Acknowledge, accept and start doing something about it. Be yourself deeper. And what is, for these people, I would generally assume this is an emotionally healthy person. We usually not deal with it like this. So by default this is an emotionally ill person or unhealthy person. Emotional intelligence is quite a bit low. So you should work on your emotions, your anger, and know that you can hardly make the right decisions or even have the right thoughts when you are angry. Yeah, so what you are saying is the first thing is to look inwards. Before I even consider why we broke up, I first consider the anger and what is going on from within. Yeah, you have to look at yourself from a pin and look for the solutions from inside you. The solutions will only come from you.  Okay, so talk about coping mechanisms that cause harm to the person who is going through the breakup. I would say staying alone because that's a moment of stress. And many times when we are stressed, you feel that I want to stay alone. I also want to be out with people. But when you are doing that, you are welcoming depression. So I wouldn't encourage anyone to be alone in many of the times. Seek help also. Seek help with the people that you love or even a counselor. Because any trauma, this is like trauma. Any trauma that we go through, we have to seek help. We have to talk to people about it. Yes, yes. Because if you do not deal with the pain, somehow it will come and bite you. Pain that is not dealt with never goes away. So you have to have a way of dealing with that pain. Another way that people do... And on that, can you expand on ways you can give people ideas on ways of coping with it? I would say love yourself. Love yourself first. And know that I am my own rescue. No one can rescue me. And if you do not love yourself, no one will come and love you. So love yourself first. That is the first step. Then after that, maybe now, of course, love doesn't stop, but you have to now keep on... You talk to people like I said, people who can help you.  This person is not the end of your story. Put yourself out there for other people to love you. Open yourself up. But even before that, you have to work on yourself. Because earlier I said that you need to look at what you did to cause all that, to cause those issues. What was your responsibility to that problem? Okay, well, Angela, hold that thought. Hold that thought. Let's first of all take a very short break. But don't go too far because you're coming back to hear more on breakups and Angela will be telling us more about her story. Y254, imagine. Welcome back. This is the Y254 News Highlights. And in case you're just joining us, our conversation is about how we can turn breakups or how we can make breakups a stepping stone to make sure that they do not break us. Instead, they steer us to be stronger. And so Angela has been telling us and sharing with us about her story. And at this point, I would want you to tell us how you dealt with your situation or how you dealt with your breakup. I would say my situation was a bit unique because I was cohabiting, I would say, a man who was a foreigner. And it was a relationship that was fast emotionally, I would say I was emotionally abused and financially abused as well. So now I had to deal with both those kind of things because this person had, I had invested in his business and it did not work. The business wasn't really a truthful, he wasn't truthful to me. And it was also emotionally abusive because he was promiscuous and he was also, he never used to speak the truth about the things that he was doing. In short, he screamed at all areas that produced insecurities in you or that would have been insecure in you.  Then there was also the weight of having a child before I met him. So even the child was also in the mix of all this breakup. So that's why I say mine could have been a bit unique from other breakups. And initially I was in denial. That's why I'm telling people do not be in denial.  The way you knew that person just take their wrongs and understand them and see and accept that it has been done to you. So because I was in denial it took me so long for me to accept that this person is not good for me until a time when now a lady called me from the other end while he had already left. He had left me actually pregnant and he left me broke. At that time I wouldn't say we were not in good times, but we were still talking because I thought we were still in our relationship. And a year down the line after he left someone called me, a lady called me from his country and she told me that they've been married for 10 years and this guy has been lying to me and all that and his family has been lying to me. So it was now like a trauma after trauma because he had left already. And one year down the line you're still not seeing the weight and the heaviness of the situation. Yeah, and even in between the time he left and the time I knew about that there was a lot of lies because initially we had agreed he comes back, he never came. We agreed again, we relocate to where he is and he never actualized that. So there was a lot of lies and a lot of I would say I was really cornered to a place where I didn't even understand. So now after being in that denial and then now this lady calls me and tells me I was broken, totally broken and broke. So broken, broken, I didn't know what to do.  So I was still in denial for some time but I had good friends so I reached out. So it is very important to reach out to people that really care. So I reached out to my friends, my family and they helped me. One of the friends gave me some work and I managed to make some money and I got a small house that I had to move to. So right now as you tell the story it's a story of victory, it's something you went through, conquered and came right on the other side, even better would you imagine? Yes, yes, I came out stronger, I am a better person. I'm proud of myself for what I've achieved. I had to even work on my children in a way that they would also take it positively and mostly the first born because he was big enough to understand. So even him, I've become a better parent with him because we have a better relationship now because of being able to open up with him. Yes, since Angela time is not on our side trust me this conversation should take an hour or more so give us a final comment on the whole situation on this topic of breakups and advice you can give to many young people out there because I believe we have so many ladies so many young ladies and young men out there who are affected by the same and especially we have touched on the person being a foreigner very many people want that for themselves so give us your insight and advice to young people out there. I would say first of all before you get into a relationship make sure that you have worked on yourself work on yourself so that even when a breakup comes you know that you can handle it so work on yourself so much that you are aware of who you are your emotions are balanced that you can handle anything that happens to you and don't take a breakup like the end of the world every end is a new beginning so don't look at it like a point of despair if you do then you'll remain there while the world is already revolving everyone has moved on and you're still there so make sure that you do not get stuck there. Okay well thank you so much Angela for that discussion and actually for opening up and telling us about yourself so breakups are hard to deal with but when it happens to you please do not stay back reach out to someone, talk to someone look for people who can encourage you and help and lift you up to be better because as we have had it's possible to turn a very painful and bad situation into something golden and to make milestones of growth in your life that's all we had for you today and in case you missed this conversation or you would want to revisit it to our YouTube page that is at Y244 channel we will get the videos of this and much more there thank you, goodnight
