See if I do one of these Why hello welcome to the bone zone Brave log style out the question. We're answering is how much money do small youtube channels make from AdSense Now if you look at where we are you could probably get a pretty good idea for yourself. Yeah About that sweet sweet AdSense money. Yeah, so yeah, we're out out here in Bali Because of AdSense money all AdSense money Even Contrary to common belief we only have people say you need a big youtube channel and get a lot of views to make a lot of money with AdSense We clearly busted that myth we have two thousand subscribers and looking for the help we're living Yeah, take this place out. Let me just flip around one of these boom AdSense money you got this that's the money you got that that's this money got those glasses AdSense money everywhere so With that said no you just need to start a youtube channel make videos and run ads That's all.  Yeah ready. All right. Let's go into the computer All right squad. We're in the computer. Let's find out how much money Exactly really make exactly so you've seen what the AdSense gets us But like what's the actual numbers behind it? Let's have a look. All right. All right. So we're on the screen We're inside our youtube dashboard. I'm not even sure what the numbers are. No, no, no because it's blurred right now, right, right? Okay How are we gonna reveal it? Just do it just reveal it. All right. Yeah Wait, what? Last 28 days. That's it 74 dollars. No, no, that's not right. That's not right. That's not right. Hold on No, something's wrong Something's off 28 seconds wait, wait, I thought 28 seconds.   Yeah, I don't know if people fell for it or not No one did it was just a plenty out. Let's look at it. So I mean, here's the analytics you can see I'm pretty sure you get paid by views, right? Subscribers don't matter.  You clearly know nothing about this. I don't know anything about this. I don't want to hear about it Yeah, so like certain channels get you can make more per view than other channels like make money online Sure, I figured I figured you can't actually make solid ad sense and then like a prank or a vlog channel does not make much money Um, so I think we're actually lucky to be able to make this much a month So I guess 75 bucks a month is what it is. I mean, let's do the math, right? So 16 is per view, right? So 16,000 views divided by 74 dollars 83 cents I'm not gonna do math now. Let's put it on the screen. That's what you're making per view or do per thousand. Okay. This is what you're making per 1,000 views So 75 divided by 16. Extrapolate that if we could get a video to blow up and get a million views That's how much we make and here we have total views 103,000 According to this calculation, that's how much we've made all time from youtube and just ad sense. I mean What'd you expect? You didn't expect us to make a lot of money from 2,000 subscribers just an ad sense And what that is is just you know, when you have a video and you get a little ad at a place before Like oh come buy this course tylo pays in my garage thing It's those those commercials that are playing one thing I want to look at you can actually break it down and look at Look at like a video by video basis. You see which videos made the most of mine. Yeah So then if you want to put it in then you can actually break it down to how much we're getting paid per hour making videos Okay, okay. Let's break it down. Okay. Oh here. Okay. Hold on here. Oh wow. See. Oh, okay This is the last 28 days this last 20 days do all time.   So that's one of our newest videos.  Mm-hmm. So we have one video make us 17 dollars. Yeah, and our next best made 12 dollars Yeah, 10 8 7 6 5 5 4 3 and it takes us to like plan it recorded on average film it edit it It depends on the same thing the planet recorded edit it. Let's say Let's say four hours per video No, it's way more than that. I'm trying to be conservative. It's way more than that six hours Six hours. We'll just say six hours. Okay. So six hours per video. Let's say we're making an hour Divide by 17 dollars. So our best video is paying us like three bucks an hour In assets. Yeah in assets.  Yeah money, baby. But yeah So that's that's oh youtube. I think the point here is youtube premiere I think the point here is I figure a lot of people say when you start a youtube channel, how do you monetize run ask your videos? This is not a legit way to monetize. That's not how you monetize with ads not at all Unless you have 100,000 subscribers, which Does not happen. You're smarter than that to only be running this. I know you're doing other things It's taking us seven months to get to 2,000.  It's actually really interesting You can see like how many subscribers people are gaining per day How many views are getting per day and there's a lot of estimated earnings So if you're wondering how how accurate this is it's relatively close So between 4 and 65. So let's use that higher one $65 a month. So we made 74 So it's a little more beyond that. Yeah I guess we buy it to other channels if you're curious to see what they make just on adsense The subscribers were gaining a day and actually it slowed down a lot We used to be doing 16 a day and then like I don't know man.   Yeah at all So that's basically all we want to show you in this video How much money a small youtube channel can make and it's clearly it clearly ain't shit So don't start a youtube channel thinking that's how you're going to make your money You need to find other ways to monetize it if it's going to be your full-time gig You know what the point is like for 2,000 subscribers You can make a shitload of money from youtube from 2,000 subscribers The point is it's not from adsense, right? So we should totally make a video about other ways to monetize a youtube channel That will be coming right that will be coming soon stay tuned for that So if you want that video see the natural plug if you want to see that video eventually you guys subscribe to the channel And uh join the notification squad click that little bell button That's the first time we've ever plugged it. I know first time ever but I admit It's like a legit thing that I think you should do magic emoji end of the video. What should it be? Pull those sunglasses emoji just to show a little support Show us that you watch the video and you enjoy the video. All right, let's end it What should we do?  No, let's just end the video. Okay. All right. See you guys in the next video. Okay


I don't see any issue more important than privatizing education. And while in some ways having a federal government, Republican Democrat, they're all against privatizing education. Yeah. Besides sending your own children to a private school that you choose, what kind of things can we do to advance the movement? And does it take going authoritarian and revolution before we're going to see private education in the US? I mean, who knows, but it probably is going to take a while because because it's the most important thing, it's also the most difficult thing. I would say support education saving accounts. There are organizations to promote them. The specific structure of education saving accounts was promoted by the Goldwater Institute in Arizona. They do good work on it. I'm sure there are others who do good work on it. But that to me is the best way to privatize because it's in a sense a pain free way to do it because the government continues to fund education. But parents have a choice of how to deploy the dollars. So it's still redistribution of wealth, but at least it gets government out of education, out of the management, the decision making, the running of schools. And to me, it's fascinating people say, oh, if we had private education, kids wouldn't be able to afford to go to school. And then I bring up educating saving accounts. I said, OK, so I'll grant you that the government should pay for the school. But how about we do it through an education saving account for them? And they they still won't accept it, even though I've taken away their prime objection, because that's not really the objection. Right. They say it's not fair because then kids with the money can choose which schools that they want to go to. Yeah, but everybody gets the money. That's the thing about education saving accounts. That's true. Rich parents can supplement more than poor parents, but they can today as well. So it doesn't put us in a worst case. And it makes it it's obviously better without any of the cost that they attribute to it. What they ultimately say, if you push them, they embarrassed about it. But what they ultimately say is I don't trust parents to make that decision. And that's the barrier. It's the platonic philosopher, King idea. It's poor people can't make decisions like that for themselves. I have to make that decision for them. That's what it boils down to. It's it's paternalism. And paternalism is very strong among the middle class and the and the wealthy. Very strong. Poor people have no I mean, I think poor people would embrace education saving accounts like this. It's the middle class that objects them. It's the educated middle class that objects.  They won't make or they won't send them at all. They will. How will they choose? Well, they know. Yeah, I mean, that's yes. That's always what it boils down to the real objections because the financial stuff is bogus. You can get over that easily. I quote. And then I give them the story of the beautiful tree. I don't know if you read that. Yeah, yes. But they still they can't get away from the paternalism. But but but but yeah. But I agree, it is the number one issue. If we could privatize schools, everything else would fall in. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think, meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, wins or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist.

meal. And we have people who are handing out the question cards. If you've got a question that you'd like to ask and have answered, you may bring it up to the front and we will do our best to make sure we answer as many questions as we can. We will stop by 7.30 so that people have time if they want to go to the Hillstrom or if they want to take a little bit time and walk slowly because it's a lovely evening before they head over to Christchapel for some wonderful music. So we've got a few more people coming in. This is wonderful. When Scott and I were coming up with this program, we decided that we wanted to have people who are on the front lines, people whose professional work brings them into fairly regular contact with people struggling with addiction. We knew that in our own backyard we have some incredible experts and they are up here on the stage tonight. And I would like to welcome and say hello to Tricia Frederick, who is my colleague here at the college. She is the intervention specialist. So she works with our students who have perhaps found themselves with a certain high level alcohol or drug infraction and she also helps students who may come to her voluntarily. So that's an incredibly crucial role on this campus. And she'll be moderating the panel tonight. And if I may, I would like to ask each panelist to introduce him or herself beginning with the immediate person on my left, Dr. Bob Gazola. And with that, I'm getting off the stage. Thank you. Hi. And Peg mentioned that this is a panel of experts. I'm the one who is not an expert. I'm a family practice doctor here in town. And I do deal with many patients with addiction and do as best I can to help guide them. But as we'll talk about here, it's sometimes a struggle. In addition to my work as a family practitioner in St. Peter, I also am a supervising physician of the health service on campus and a gusty alum. So have a lot of guest Davis connections. Hi. My name is Alison Crabill. I am the presiding judge in Nicollet County. So my work with and I'm also the presiding judge of the Nicollet County Drug Court, which has been in existence for approximately six years. And my work is always after the addicted individual has come into contact with the legal system and have been charged with a crime and are facing usually prison sentences. And as I, when I started 14 years ago, before that I was a public defender. So I defended these individuals and before that I was a prosecutor. So I prosecuted these individuals. It's kind of being a lawyer is like being schizophrenic. You can go either side, right? So in any event, what I realized when I started is what kept me in business were drugs and alcohol. And that is 90% of the courts work involves drugs and alcohol and people suffering from addiction. And I was tired of sending people to prison and I heard about drug courts and I went out and visited some drug courts and was determined to start a drug court in Nicollet County, Brown County and what one county. And to my left, Detective Groko, most police officers don't like drug courts, but I found a great supporter with Detective Groko. And again, thank you, Judge Crabill. As she mentioned, I'm Matt Groko. I'm with the St. Peter Police Department. I'm a detective there. Coming in contact with addicts is what Judge Crabill referred to as when they come into the system to her for about 10 years, I worked as an undercover agent investigating narcotic crimes. And it really didn't occur to me roughly the first six or seven years, but thereafter when there was a discussion about drug courts, there's certainly resistance from law enforcement, as Judge Crabill might have mentioned. And the resistance is that law enforcement uniquely has a position when it comes to people violating the law and that's jail or prison. And through my experience work in narcotics, I began to change and I certainly changed when I became a member of the Brown and Nicollet and what one county drug court team and that change was very simple. Having done all of those investigations and incarcerating many people in prison, it occurred to me that many of them were getting out. There's many programs that are available in the judicial and the Department of Corrections and the systems that they offer. And within a year or two, these individuals are back on the street. And I began to think that we were more educators than enforcers of law enforcement. And what I mean by that as educators is that we educated them on how not to get caught. And it really became challenging for us and that challenge also provided much more level of severity and danger to the undercover agents because they knew what to look for. They knew what to look for and counter surveillance. They knew what to look for in our agents that were purchasing drugs undercover. And I really began to change when I became part of the drug court team and then taking on an additional role in conjunction with being a detective and becoming a support and compliance agent to all of the addicts that we have in drug court. So that too is very challenging. It has taught me a lot and I'm glad I'm leading in that direction because I think we have a lot of people that we have changed through drug court and many more to come. Thank you. My name is Walter Lockhart. I'm a United Methodist pastor and I'm serving two churches in South Minneapolis. Walker United Methodist Church and Simpson United Methodist Church. Both of these churches work intentionally with our neighborhoods and invite people in to be a part of our community regardless of where they happen to be.  Many of them have burned through all of their bridges of their family and friends by the time I get involved with it. And one of the things that I have the honor of doing is walking with people hopefully before they get involved in the criminal justice system but often times while they are going through the criminal justice system to be an advocate and to work with them and to help people find healing and wholeness recognizing that the dual diagnosis is the norm recognizing that human beings are complicated agents and we can't be defined by just an event that has led us into criminal justice or a diagnosis that we have this addiction or this mental illness that there's a larger holistic piece. And my ministry has spent a lot of time working with people who are trying to integrate those pieces together and have been in South Minneapolis for 10 years now and enjoy new challenges every day. So thank you. I'm Barb Carlson and I am a licensed mental health and chemical health professional in the state of Minnesota. I've been in private practice in Mankato for almost 10 years and I deal with people in a number of different aspects as they are coming to grips with mental health and chemical dependency issues. Oftentimes I will be one of the initial contacts they make doing chemical use assessments to try to provide or refer them to the appropriate level of services that they need and oftentimes after they have completed a treatment or a residential mental health program when they return to the community I will provide individual therapy for them support for dealing with reintegration into the community getting their way through the legal system if they're on probation. Oftentimes I work with individuals on one-on-one basis there and I also do family assessments for individuals who have become involved in the legal system either through mental health chemical use or whatever and may or may not be running into legal issues having their children removed from the home for example and trying to provide and recommend services that will reunite the family in a healthy manner. Thank you. Thank you. The route that we are taking tonight is Judge Crable has prepared a case study for us which she will walk us through and then we would ask the panelists to please share their insights and how they might work with this client and walk them through the process of addiction and recovery and how they might support this person. So Judge Crable? Well I should start by saying that the case study that I prepared you said a client and the interesting thing about all of us here is we will all see the same person in different capacities to Dr. Gazolla she will be a patient to me she will be a defendant to Officer Groko she will be either an arrested individual or an inmate a parishioner and a client so there's so we all see the same person but each time we see them they have a different title and we all were emailing each other about this and I said it's pretty easy to come up with who we can talk about because we all know this person very well she's we're going to say this is a fictitious person but she could fit hundreds of people that I've seen she's 30 years old she's male dependent by male dependent I mean that she does not feel any self-worth or self-esteem unless it is in a sexual nature or if she's in a relationship where someone is they don't even have to treat her well but she feels needed or wanted she is suffers from post-traumatic stress syndrome because she possibly suffered well she did suffer some trauma whether it be sexual or physical abuse or neglect but at some point in her life she did suffer trauma she is delivering drugs that her boyfriend sold so she didn't sell the drugs but she uses drugs and part of the way that she stays in the relationship is her boyfriend supplies her with drugs but she takes all the risk so the boyfriend sells behind closed doors and she delivers she is at times been suicidal and she also seeks medication whenever she can't get drugs so she will harm herself in order to be able to go to dr. Gazola and say I need pain medication and for all of those that you would that work in this field you know this person and you know her very well because we see weekly over and over I see the same thing so the initial thing would probably be her initial contact would probably be detective groco because he's done the surveillance and he is going to make the arrest and we make the arrest simply based on intelligence arrangements that are undercover or an informant would do to contact her boyfriend so it's a telephone call it's a meeting we see it very much the individuals that are very involved in selling want to buffer themselves they don't want to have direct contact with me or one of my agents or anyone that they do not trust how you gain trust in this environment is that you use the drug with them certainly as undercover agents we never use any drugs so it gets to be very difficult but when we say to them we are not going to use any of your drugs but we want to purchase them and sell them to make more money that elicits that response with the girlfriend I can't count how many times the girlfriend has come to our meeting spot I can't count how many times they are arrested and how so similar these stories are to this broken individual did I recognize that initially when I was starting these investigations no I didn't it was one of those instance where we now have the girlfriend and now we want the boyfriend is the abuse so significant that the girlfriend is not going to tell us about the boyfriend absolutely but there are ways to there are investigative pass that we take to get to the boyfriend but this girlfriend now depending on the amount of drugs that she bought to us the amount of drugs she might have sold previous to us is looking then to a presumptive commit once she is presented to judge Crabill court up to 86 months and very often it is a first-degree charge that carries that offense and many times that's what they're incarcerated for so the individual shows up she is arrested many times she doesn't talk simply out of fear for her safety and often times there's not a statement but we already know the answers anyway and so we continue that investigation but she is incarcerated she is now waiting for her first appearance within a certain time period and then she ultimately sees drudge Crabill and before she's been arrested she's seen dr. Gazella perhaps you know I guess in this scenario Allison was talking or judge Crabill I'm sorry was talking about self-injuries to to allow her to come in and have justification for getting opiates narcotics and I would say that that is we see that perhaps not as frequently with obvious injuries but it's more the back pain stuff that you really can't see you can't objectify you have to take patience at their words and you know it's it's an incredibly significant challenge as a as a provider because there are people perhaps some of you sitting here who truly have needs for medications to help with chronic pain or acute pain but there are also many people who will abuse that's that trust with their physician and it's not just about pain meds we have the same thing as was already discussed a bit this afternoon with stimulant type medication for ADHD and similar sort of learning issues and also employment issues I mean there are adults who come in saying that they have a need for treatment for their ADHD and it's simply you know like like with the back pain which is very very much a subjective complaint you know ADHD is a subjective complaint too I can't do a blood test and know how much pain you're in I can't do a blood test and know that you have ADHD but yeah these are real problems that I face each and every day and there are providers out there who have a lower threshold for writing those prescriptions I fortunately am not one of those but we still see this and you're he's very correct I shouldn't have said self-injurious because that is not the norm it's happened but it's not the norm but if you would see the young people that come into my courtroom that have carpal tunnel what do you call those braces I had carpal tunnel so I know what this is and they're in so much pain they are just gonna die if they don't get something for it and I'm suffering for it or I had incredible back pain and they're young they're 20 years old 19 20 and they have incredible pain and I often wonder how much pain they actually have they are not opiate deficient but they want you to believe they are you know yeah and the other thing that's interesting about when Dr. Gazolla sees them I can't talk to got Dr. Gazolla I can't with my drug court people and I should explain drug court is a diversion program after in Nicola County it's after the person has entered a plea of guilt to whatever charge they had then instead of sending them to prison we do what's called the downward departure and that means that those people don't go to prison they're put on probation the condition of their probation is that they successfully complete drug court drug court is usually an 18 month program where the individuals are tested three times a week randomly for drugs they have to appear in court every week they get visits by Detective Groko once or twice a week they get visits by their probation agent all random and by the police department different officers they have a curfew they we expect things and when we get them they're complete they don't have a job they're completely broken by the time they graduate they have to have employment or be in school they have to have been free from chemicals for a period of 90 days at least but usually it's over a year that they've been free without any violations of the drug court rules and we operate with sanctions and incentives sanctions can be jail the empirical data data and evidence-based research shows that jail is not very effective as a sanction it's more doing things like making them write a paper about why they are not getting up in time for work and they have to present that it's different things than we try to find creative sanctions and incentives we don't have much money to operate so we can't give like a hundred dollar gift cards if you've been sober 90 days but we have a bag with $5 gifts in it and every so often I'll say you really did a good job this week why don't you go and get something out of this gift bag and if you would they don't really care about the gift they care about the fact that they are recognized to get the gift they have to see me as I said once a week and again the evidence-based practice says if I spend five minutes with them their likelihood of success is much greater and it's because I think the judge becomes the parent and we are I know their children's names I know everything about them and as much as I can and they also know that they're being watched all the time in recovery there's a a for those of you that are in recovery you'll know this there's a saying fake it till you make it and that means that you pretend that you're in recovery when really you're just really wanting to use until you get over the hump and that's when we see the people start to really become much more you know they're in recovery and the and I said I can't talk to dr. Gazolla and say I know that this woman is med-seeking because he can't tell me that he's seeing her because of HIPAA so what we are doing now is having our drug court participants sign releases that say yes we can talk to dr. Gazolla and we give them little cards that they have to present to the doctor that says I'm in drug court and I'm an addict so that we are trying to give him that information that he couldn't get otherwise that's just a fill in the blank so now I know during this woman's journey she's seen you too and through throughout all of this and you made the statement that it was the drugs and the alcohol that keep you in business and the reality is is that we at least have some systems to deal with the drug and the alcohol but the fact that she was abused which is why she is in a bad relationship and has probably chosen somebody particularly bad in relationship I spend more time dealing with sex addicts than I deal with alcoholics because the alcoholics can go to AA or Hazeldon depending on what they need and what their resources are but the whole broader piece of this woman's life is the pieces with that end up getting laid on my plate and I'm sitting there and saying but what you know and and and trying to put together the pieces to where she follows through with the drug issues that she has to deal with but in there to be any chance of having a whole life she's got to deal with the relationship issue and that is an entirely different piece and that's not something that the court's going to tell her that she has to do that that that is one of those pieces that she has to be led to and I end up spending more of my time on the front line dealing with these issues on the other pieces and the other parts of the addiction and the other parts of the brokenness because there are even fewer resources you talk about how few resources you have for dealing with the drug court there are even fewer resources for dealing with people who don't know how to be in a healthy relationship and those resources get even harder after you've burned bridges and grown or grown up in families where you have no models of relationships if you grow up in a family that your parents are not still together and you've watched both your mother and your father have poor models of relationships you don't have any grandparents who had good relationships all of a sudden we're dealing with a whole chunk of our world where nobody has a good model for the relationship and until those issues and those abuse issues are dealt with how is this woman ever going to get to a point where she believes in herself enough to maintain sobriety and to find the wholeness so that's the piece that as a church if we're lucky either she has grown up with somebody who's had her in church somewhere and she has a relationship or more likely she has a friend who comes to church and that's how I get involved because the person is in need of help so they call in the pastor because I am free counseling and unfortunately I am not in a peer reviewed situation nor am I trained to be a counselor so the best thing I can do is to refer and that is the piece that comes in the table from for me with this person and that doesn't go on for 18 months that goes on until they leave town right most often and when you refer you refer to when I refer I refer to anybody who I can and hopefully somebody as qualified as the person on my left and what Sir Lockhart is saying is absolutely right. Addiction is much more than the secession of the use of the chemicals because if a person doesn't feel worthwhile and feel valued and what I often tell them is you have to learn to be your own best friend because that's the person that's going to be with you 24 seven for the rest of your life if you don't like that friend you're not going to treat that friend very well sounds somewhat simplistic but a lot of addicts have lost that component to themselves along the way either through trauma bad relationships neglect and abuse as a child there's many many reasons for it and until they really are mindful and learn to be mindful of their own feelings because many of them also along the way have lost the ability to recognize their own feelings within themselves and where they are at at any given time during a day a week a month and if they really have lost that key component of functioning called their inner self or their inner child it's too easy to become very frustrated overly stressed seeking something to replace that empty core and it's just too easy to reach for a quick fix whether it be alcohol or drugs or to remain in a relationship that really is abusive and unhealthy simply to have someone there so oftentimes when I'm working with these individuals I said I will either see them on the front end and do a chemical use assessment which oftentimes then goes right back up the line to judge Cravel and I will recommend things that they need for their chemical health their mental health family support oftentimes these people as Mr. Lockhart said have burned their bridges they don't have a support system which is an essential component if you're going to get into recovery from addiction and stay there and so once services are undertaken I may not see these individuals for a period of time and then later on when they have completed treatment and some of the other drug court steps and things and sometimes even while they are going through drug court the individuals will come back in for individual therapy and we will start working on these other components to strengthen them as a person oftentimes I will see people I have had some people that have completed drug court and are still coming in usually I will start seeing them weekly then as they progress and they become stronger their self-esteem kids comes back they've redeveloped their sense of self-worth we start spacing out their appointments two weeks a month sometimes two or three months but oftentimes it's a long process it can last up to two years I've had some individuals that still come back periodically just for what they call a checkup and I've seen them for three or four years maybe once every six months maybe once every nine months so it's a long process and it's something they have to work at day in and day out and I think it's clear why we have such a diverse panel up here now as we can see there are many complex issues that the addicted individual needs to address and the avenue for which that begins can vary quite greatly any other comments I just have one other thing I'm going to put that ball back in your court because sometimes some of the people that I see in court who are addicts also have diagnosable mental health issues it's we we call that co-occurring disorders so they have mental health issues that need treatment and sometimes that treatment needs to be through pharmaceutical pharmaceutical products and and so that gets very tricky because if they need the medication and I'm saying you can't take any drugs I can't say if Dr. Gazola says they need this I'm not an expert in that I'm not going to say you can't take what your doctor prescribed so we do a dance together and those releases of information because you know you have to talk about how you have to give non-addictive depressive medication or antidepressants sure sure and I was gonna make one other comment that I maybe Trisha had already said but we also want if you guys have any questions I think there are some yeah I don't know someone collecting them it'd be nice so we can get those up here anyway yeah there's you know depression anxiety bipolar disorder PTSD there's all sorts of diagnoses that would certainly warrant therapy and you know fortunately there is a lot of pharmacotherapy that is non-addictive and you know I mean I try so hard to avoid those medications that can send a person down a slippery slope and this afternoon they talked about Xanax is one of those medicines that was fairly often abused and you know there's other ways to treat anxiety beyond pharmacotherapy and certainly beyond those addictive benzodiazepine type meds and and that's always a focus that I have mean you know yeah there is SSRI type medication there's there's norepinephrine type medications you know one thing that gets overlooked often and helping people with a lot of these issues is taking good care of their physical being and exercise can do so much if you can help somebody get to that point where they can take better care of themselves physically they feel so much better about themselves mentally and you can accomplish a lot so and something else I try to do when I'm working with people is to educate them about symptomology of mental health issues and how to recognize when symptoms may be in the infancy stage for example and like doctor said some of the things that you can do either exercise good diet getting more sleep relaxations sometimes I will suggest people get massages for example there's a number of things and lots and lots of people are just not aware of how they can control their own symptoms oftentimes especially when they are not a severe and then they don't have to resort to medication right away and a lot of times it's just simply educating people about those things because lots and lots of people like I said get out of touch with themselves and they don't know how to recognize what's happening even within themselves until it's really gotten to be a serious problem great we have a few questions here two are specifically for judge Grable I didn't mean to put you in jail I'm sure you were innocent I apologize okay do you require or sentence assumed addicts to alternatives to AA including women for sobriety smart recovery yes I well I will tell you that our drug court requires that and even when you're not in drug court on probation if it's a chemical issue that got you into court that you will have to attend support meetings and I constitutionally cannot require someone to go to a certain support meeting because of the first amendment and so I can't say you have to go to AA or NA because those are spiritual based support groups I don't care what support group it is as long as it's effective and you go and it is productive just as long I think that the statistics show that a chain the chances of staying in recovered recovery are 70% greater when you are in a recovery support yep population as long as you're going to have a sponsor have someone some way that you're actually interacting with other people in recovery your chances of recovery success and recovery are enhanced by 70% thank you one other question here that I think would be great for all of the panelists to address is how do you personally handle the emotional labor of the work to do this okay I guess I'll start since they're all looking at me you know as a family practice doctor one real benefit I have for most of my patients is a relationship you know certainly there's always that first visit with any patient but with most patients that I see I've seen them for months for years and there's that trust that has been developed and you know with that you do get more emotionally connected certainly but I think it becomes you know you're you're advocating for them not just because you ought to but because you care and you want to see them get to the other side of this and you know it's pretty it is incredibly rewarding when you when you do help someone get to the other side see a whole new person walk in that door and and I think it's maybe that hope and I'll say even expectation of of accomplishing that of reaching that that just makes it so worthwhile and makes it not laborious that he also runs a lot if you can't tell by the way you do right oh yeah that's a really difficult question for me because I don't know that I do very well in that area the stress that comes along with I guess the best way to explain what a judge's job is that you live other people's misery there is very few times that people are coming to court because they're happy and and so usually it's because the only time that something is happy is if someone's getting adopted otherwise there is conflict and there is pain and you see broken people and children that are abused and it's a it's a hard job my outlet is I have three beautiful daughters who are not using drugs or alcohol who do well in school who I have to go see cross-country meets and run across golf courses and you know my family is really what when I go home I really try to say I'm gonna make dinner now and I'm gonna have an ice-center with my kids and we're gonna talk about other things but otherwise I don't know it's I don't know if you can separate either yeah you know I've been thinking about that it's a very good question and and I try to correlate a detachment phase and I really only came up with next January 16th I'm going to Cancun so yeah yeah so and and as I sit here and think more about that I'm getting text messages approximately five of them from our drug court participants I hope there's not any problems we have to deal with tomorrow so I'm available to them really 24-7 and I think I made that into my purpose in this program myself it's certainly not ordered by Judge Crabill but it's something that I offered to them because there's so many times it's critical for them so many times that they rely on a response where they can't reach a counselor or they can't reach their probation agent and honestly after working 10 years in narcotic I'm so used to answering my phone 24-7 so it is at my bedside there is a response so the detachment is difficult it certainly comes with my family but then again on vacation so it's something that is very challenging but it is very rewarding and it's humbling to be involved in an addict's life trying to understand addiction when you maybe don't have all of those components of addiction so it's a very rewarding and he plays golf on Wednesdays yeah well I haven't for three years judge because that's when our drug court is yeah one of the things I did was quit drinking wasn't an alcoholic but it became an issue for me so I did quit drinking and I also have buried enough people who were successful in their self-destruction whether it be through suicide or drugs that in order to find balance in this it's to have really good boundaries to know that these people that I'm loving and caring for who are addicts are not my wife and kids they're people who I love and care for but they're not my wife and kids I also have developed and understand my role as clergy is that I'm not there to be everybody's best friend I'm there to be clergy not friend I can be friendly and that's fine but they're not friends and colleagues they are parishioners and neighbors and people that I am working with and it's been necessary for me to find different models of how to do that work because my predecessor did commit suicide 11 years ago and if we don't have good models while we're doing this work it can be deadly and I'm with some of the rest of you I'm not quite sure self-care in this field is very important because we don't you burn out really quickly years ago when I was a child I lost my favorite uncle to alcohol how I ended up going into this field I didn't really think about it until years later and realized how much that did affect me and my family and so I guess my satisfaction comes from if I can put a glimmer of hope in someone if I can help them to overcome feelings of shame and if we can as a society really take a lot of the stigma away from the disease of addiction then I think we've all done something worthwhile and my other thought is I know and it was trained into me I have very couple of good mentors that when you're working you better be thinking clinically and you don't let yourself become attached because if you do that's kind of the slide down the slope and then pretty soon you're not as objective as you need to be and in this field you need to be thinking clinically because people in the throws of addiction are tricky they are not very honest most of the time they're very manipulative and if you're not careful you know they're feeding you probably a lot of information that's not real accurate and you're buying it so that's kind of how I try to do it the next question is so far you haven't added relapse into the equation please address that's a great question in drug court relapses part of recovery we expect relapse we don't love relapse but we expect relapse and the in my courts I can't speak for every drug court in my court you will not be punished or sanctioned for relapsing you will be sanctioned for lying about relapsing so the entire premise of the court is based on honesty if you are honest with me about what's happening you will not be sanctioned if you are lie about it and I find out about it I will send you to spend a few nights in jail because you lied not because you used and I have found that that works very well you know when they come up in front of the bench I'll say and usually I know because I have a test but they don't know that I have the result of the test and I'll say I want you to be honest with me and usually giving them many chances giving the mention usually they are honest but I don't know that's so relapse is part of recovery and I used to think that it was and I used to think I mean I've learned so much over the years but I used to think if you relapse that was just a huge failure and I started to look at it differently if you relapse after a year of sobriety you have a year of sobriety and if the relapse lasts a day or a week and you go back into your recovery you still have that year of sobriety and you can go from there I will tell you something very interesting though just last week I sent an individual to prison for a long period of time and he had he was not in drug court because he had disqualifying factors he had some assault of behavior and we can't take violent people into drug court and he did it on his own and he'd gone to new beginnings here in town he went through treatment everything was going well and he used meth and he sat in my courtroom and I had already given him a downward departure before I didn't have much of a choice he I had to send in prison and he was crying and he told me one month I used meth I started using meth one month ago I have lost everything in that month I've lost my wife my children my home my job so that relapse for him just that short of time he had I think 17 months clean around there and then in one month he lost everything and now he's in prison so relapse is an issue it's incredibly common I mean the the one addiction doesn't have quite the stigma of most of the stuff we're talking about would be to nicotine and I'm guessing that many of you in here have smoked and many of you here have quit smoking but it probably wasn't the first time or the second or the third time that you attempted to quit that you were successful relapse is just a part of chemical addiction of chemical dependency so okay one of the cases that I've been involved with for the last several years have been issues around sex addiction and sexual predators and whereas the relapse not every relapse in chemical addiction has huge costs to other people if you're driving a car at might but not every one of them has huge cost other people but people who are sexual predators every relapse leaves a trail of carnage and that has led me to recognize the importance of understanding that yes relapses happen but how is it that we as a society as a culture as communities as neighborhoods tried to keep the impaired people from being behind the wheels of automobiles to keep impaired people are people who are relapsing from molesting our children all of these pieces are all still dealing with issues of addiction and relapse and it becomes a different piece as we think about how do we as community how do we as a church community love and care for people in such a way that we love and care for them in a way that they don't hurt others and that gets to be an awfully tricky conversation because I've got a number of addicts who are destroying their own lives but they're not hurting anybody else and then I've got other addicts who are acting out in ways to where you know coming on to their 17 year old daughters that's just not okay that these these are the pieces where relapsing brings in a whole different set of challenges I also think relapse is part of recovery and through the process of trying to work with individuals to bring them back to a more healthy stance in life part of that is teaching them how the self-care for themselves how to reach out and ask for help if they feel you know like there is a possibility that they may relapse in building helping them build a support network and people that they can reach out to if they feel that situation and also helping them to be aware that relapse is a very real possibility because a lot of people think that if they go through treatment if they maintain sobriety for a little while they're totally out of the woods and it's never going to happen I've had colleagues that have been sober for 20 years went to school got their counseling licenses ran a business helping other addicts they relapsed and yes in a period of about a month there too they lost everything even their licensure and right now I don't know what they're doing or where they are and it's very sad but it's a very real possibility and that's something with you know the disease of addiction it's it's there and people have to be mindful of it and keeping themselves in a good place day by day and I think we'll try to squeeze in one last question that's how difficult is it to succeed how hard is it to deal with mental health issues that contribute to lack of self-worth and I think one of the first things we need to discuss is how do you define success and that's so individualized as Judge Crabill was saying a relapse after 17 17 months of sobriety that could be considered a success I can say I saw success today and I don't know if the young lady's here and I'm not going to point her out but I was walking through here today because I wanted to hear I wanted to get educated as much as I could today and a young lady stopped me and said Judge Crabill and I turned around and I saw this absolutely beautiful young woman just dressed to the nines beautiful hair beautiful skin and she's one of my drug court graduates and when I met her probably three and a half years ago she didn't look anything like that and she didn't look she had no self-esteem and that young lady worked very very hard and I have a lot of failures too but for the way I define success for my work is that young lady and she said she was gonna be here tonight I don't know if she is if she is I admire you I'm not gonna use her name or draw any attention to her but if you want attention you you're certainly you can stand up but you don't have to I wanted to one of the pieces that you were talking about about trying to get people to be honest and if not put them in jail I tend to stop worrying about people as much when they will be honest with me and honest with themselves right that that's when I stop worrying about the chance of them committing suicide or the chance of them doing the really crazy go out and get drunk and drive the whatever that when people have come far enough down the healing that they're honest with themselves I don't feel like the need to call them at nine o'clock at night and see are you in so those those of those of that that to me is my definition of success if the system has gotten them to where they can be honest with themselves and honest with me because I have a fairly high BS meter I can tell and most of the time when people are BSing I suspect everybody at this table has a pretty good BS meter because we have two in our professions and when people are being honest it's a long way towards healing and wholeness to me that's really turning the corner when you can really feel that they are really being honest with themselves above everything else because a lot of times that's kind of the last holdout they might get honest with you first but they're still lying to themselves somewhere deep inside that I can I can still do this use now and again or you know whatever but that that to me is a real turning point for an individual because it says then that they are really truly committed to making lasting changes not just to jump through the hoop so I can get my children back or get back in the house or I can get a lesser sentence or whatever else so it probably means then that they are accepting of that person they see in the mirror they have gotten to that point where they're okay with who they are and when you're I mean it's like you say that low self-worth when they can get to that point and how you get there that's a whole nother thing but yeah that's success and it's so blatant when they're not I had an individual that came into my office kind of yesterday afternoon late and wanted what we call a rule 25 which is our standard assessment done for chemical dependency and so happens she had her year old child removed from her care why because in the last three months she's been in what we call a detoxification unit over the weekend three different times her mother and her significant other called the police to have her picked up one of the times when she was in there her blood alcohol level was at a point three two seven and for those of you that don't know anything about levels of blood alcohol content an unseasoned drinker at that point should be in a coma yet she's standing there telling me that I don't need treatment I'm just fine this lady's been to treatment five times previously she's still got an open DWI charge in Wisconsin from two years ago she has an answer to but she's been on an alcohol monitor which is a ankle bracelet that is placed on the individual if they drink goes off they have to blow so many times a day keep them sober she's been on that three days before she came in to see me so she's good to go she's got no problems anymore so she should have her baby back defined differently okay and I think we are about out of time so I appreciate you all taking your time out of your evening to join us and thank you for your questions we didn't get to them all but perhaps some of us will be sticking around afterwards if you want to stop up and chat and think thank you more


So let's introduce a powerful way to represent and solve differential equations known as a linear differential operator. So this goes back to one of the many ways we have of introducing the derivative. One way to indicate the process of differentiation is to use what's known as the differential operator, which we write as d over dx. And so the first derivative of y with respect to x is d over dx applied to y, which gives us dy over dx. The second derivative of y with respect to x is then going to be the differential operator, d over dx, applied to dy over dx. And that gives us d2y over dx squared. And if you've ever wondered why the second derivative is written in this fashion where we have a d2y over dx squared, it's because of this operator notation. Differential notation and the differential operator are very helpful when trying to solve differential equations. So we'll be using this differential operator a lot, and so for simplicity we'll let capital D be the differential operator, d over dx. Since D represents the derivative, it has the following useful properties. D applied to a sum, f plus g, is df plus dg, which is to say the derivative of a sum of functions is the sum of the derivative of the individual functions. Likewise, d applied to cf for any constant c is c times df. Again, the derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function. So except for the fact that we're using d to represent the differentiation operation, these are just the familiar rules of derivative from calculus. There is one new thing, any function that acts this way, where if we apply it to a sum, we get the sum of the function applied to the individual terms. And where we apply it to a constant times something, we get the constant times the function applied to the something. It's what we call a linear operator. And so we say that d is a linear operator. The differential operator allows us to rewrite differential equations in operator form. For example, if we have the differential equation, second derivative of y plus first derivative of y minus 2y equals zero. So the second derivative is the derivative of the derivative of y. The derivative is just the derivative of y. And minus 2y is just 2y. Or using our capital D notation for the differential operator, this is d squared y plus dy minus 2y equals zero. So it seems that all of these terms have a common factor of y that we could remove. But they don't because this does not represent a multiplication of d and y. It's the derivative of y. But if you remember your function notation, I can add two functions f plus g of x. And what that means is f of x plus g of x. f of f of x, well that's really f2 of x. And a constant times f of x, we can write that as cf of x. And so while it's important to understand that this does not say we're multiplying y by d squared or y by d, function notation allows us to rewrite it as if it were a product. So we can rewrite this as d squared plus d minus 2 applied to y. And this looks like an awful lot like a polynomial. And so we call d squared plus d minus 2 the characteristic polynomial for the differential equation. Or because it consists only of derivatives and constants, it's also a linear operator. And so we also call it the linear differential operator. So let's try to identify the linear differential operator if possible for the two differential equations. Since our first equation is linear, it has no powers of y or any of its derivatives. It has a linear differential operator. So first we can rewrite this in operator notation. So we start with our original differential equation. This is the fourth derivative of y. This is the second derivative of y. And this is just 8 times y. So the fourth derivative, that's really just the derivative operator applied four times. So we can write that as d to the fourth. The second derivative is our operator applied twice, d squared. And 8 is just a constant. And again, it looks like we can remove a common factor of y, but we can't. But we can rewrite this in function notation as if we were removing a common factor of y. In any case, our linear differential operator is this function d to the fourth minus d squared plus 8. How about the second equation? So the first thing to recognize here is that this is not a linear differential equation because it has this product of a derivative and the function itself. And since this equation is not a linear differential equation, it has no linear differential operator.

All right, we're looking at the Canon EOS M50. This kit contains several items. I'm going to open up this bag. The first item is the camera body. The Canon EOS M50 or the Canon EOS M50 Mark II. This camera, this unit is an EOS M50. Item two is the kit lens that comes with the kit. This is a 15 millimeter to 45 millimeter focal length. And aperture is f over 35 up to or down to f over 6.3. And then item three is the lens cap. Item four is the SD memory card. So on the bottom you just slide this hatch over and then press the edge of the SD card to pop it out. It comes with 32 gigabyte SD memory card. Item four is the, excuse me, item five is the battery pack. So here's a little lever to slide it downward or to the front of the camera and then the battery pop out. And item six is the battery charger. It says right here. Item seven is the USB cable. So this kit comes in a plastic container. This cable is for transferring files from the camera to a computer. You could also transfer directly from the SD card or even wirelessly. Item eight is the carrying case. Okay, so first things first. If you want to, for some reason, remove the lens. So on the front of the camera, on the right hand side as you're facing it, just push the release button. Then while holding the camera steady, twist the base of the camera body or, excuse me, the lens body clockwise. Excuse me, counterclockwise. And then you can pull it. And then to put the camera or the lens back onto the camera body, just look for a white dot along the bottom on the side of the lens body. And then look for a corresponding dot on the frame of the camera body. Just align the dots, push the lens toward the camera body, and then rotate the lens body clockwise until it locks. Okay, and then to remove the lens cap, just pinch the two edges, and then pull off the lens cap. All right, okay, this camera is already on, so I'm going to turn it off. So the on-off switch is on the top to the right side. This dial selector allows you to select the various modes. You can rotate it clockwise or counterclockwise. This prominent button on the top is the camera shutter button and the smaller red button to its right is the video shutter button. And then on the back, along the right side are various buttons. So the menu button is to bring up the menu and press it again to close it. The play button will take you straight to the media gallery. And here's a selection wheel.  This is for navigating the menus. So you press the top part to go up, the bottom part to go down, the left side to go left, the right side to go right. And then in the middle of the selection wheel, you can see the Q set button. That's like the enter or select button. So you can, first let's turn it on. So I'm going to slide the dial to the on position. And then you can look through the viewfinder here or you can just unfold the display panel. And you can keep it open like this or you can actually twist it the other way. So like the bottom upward like this. It's easier to show and then you can just fold it in. Now currently the view is out of focus because the lens body is not extended. So on the side there's a slide lock. Just push and hold the slide lock in the direction of the arrow and then turn the lens body. So along the bottom of the lens body there's markings, numbers that indicate focal lengths. And then at the very bottom part of the lens body there's a Canon logo and there's a notch that indicates the current setting. So by default it's aligned with the smaller white dot. You can see it. And then you won't be able to see anything clear until you see this message. It's telling you how to set a focal length. So once it gets to the smallest focal length then that message disappears. So this demo is just to show you how to record video. So just look at the dial. Rotate it to the camera icon until it's aligned with the white notch. And then the display will prompt you to select one or two modes. You can use the... Okay, well I guess you're using touch screen. Just choose mode. Select choose mode and then it gives you the option between manual exposure in which you set the shutter speed or time, the aperture in ISO, or you can go to auto mode. Again you can use the selection dial or you just use a touch screen. So let's just go with auto exposure. Okay, and let's see here. So look at the top of screen, auto focus mode. On the left hand side of the selection dial you can toggle between manual focus and auto focus. I recommend just going with auto focus. Again that's displayed in the top left quadrant of the display. It's always a good idea just to make sure just press the selection wheel to make sure you know which mode you're in. And then servo, auto focus. Okay, so I recommend pressing the menu button and then that takes you to the menu page along the top of the categories. And then in each category there's pages. Again you can use the selection dial or use the touch screen to navigate through. Let's see where auto focus mode is. Okay, so it's in the first category fourth page with movie recording mode selected. So focus mode you can select it here. Servo mode. Just read the display. Continuously focus is to keep subjects sharp as movies are recorded. I recommend enabling servo mode. And then auto focus method, AF method. There's tracking, zone auto focus, one point. One point is good basically it focuses on a specific point in space. That's really good for static shots like interviews in which your subject is not likely to move. There's also zone. I think if you're ever unsure maybe just go with tracking mode. Okay, let's see here. Alright, and then in the first category on the first page there's recording quality. Here's where you pick the resolution and frame rate and or frame rate. You can go with 4K resolution which is locked in at about 24 frames per second or you can go with full HD. That's 1920 by 1080 pixels. So let's just go with full HD 24 frames per second. Okay, and then menu to return. What I recommend is, okay, see if I can find it, exposure. I'm just looking for that setting. If you can't remember where it is. We want to display the histogram. I'll show you the histogram. IS settings, what's IS? Menu. Okay here, let's just see here. So here's the default display. I'm going to press the info button to toggle among the information modes. Now because we're in auto mode I don't think the histogram is available but when we're ready to shoot we're going to press the video shutter button. There we go. And then if you want to zoom in, increase the magnification or decrease the magnification. In other words, change the focal length again. You just push and slide the lock, rotate the lens body and that will... And if you want to focus on a part, again it's autofocus so camera should do most of the work for you. And you can see in the top left corner there is an elapsed time. In the top right corner there's a red circle to indicate that it's currently recording. And then when you're ready to stop recording just press the video shutter button. There you go. And it's stopped. If you want to play it just press the play button and then you can do a preview. That's auto mode. Let's try manual mode. So I'm going to turn the dial over to recording, choose mode and we'll go to man exposure, click OK. OK. And so similar display set along the bottom are the exposure settings. So here is the aperture. See the shutter, speed. I say speed in air quotations because it's more shutter time. This is representing seconds. Aperture which is f over some value. The f stop is the denominator. And then this is the exposure compensation that allows you to adjust from minus three to minus plus three to save that setting for last if you want to make adjustments. And there's ISO. So I recommend unless you have total control over the lighting maybe just set it to auto. OK. And then press the info button to toggle among the different display modes. OK. So here's the histogram. So this graph represents the colors in the scene. The left edge represents the dark colors. The right edge represents the white colors. Ideally you want the histogram, the graph to stay away from the left and right edges because if it's skewed to one side or the other that means either the scene is too dark or too bright or the settings on the camera are making the depiction of the scene too dark or too bright or some combination of the two. To demonstrate what I mean, I'm just going to hold this black bag up in front of the lens and you'll see how the histogram is skewed more toward the right. I don't have anything pure white but if I were to hold it in front of the lens the histogram graph would skew to the right. So if you're in manual mode just adjust the exposure settings as needed so that the histogram is not at the edges. So, OK, I'm going to hit record and that's essentially it in terms of recording. That's just the absolute basics. Recording video with the Canon M50, USM50. And then to transfer files, again, there's a couple of ways you can do it. Actually, you can't transfer by cable. Hold on, USB. No, excuse me, you can. So right here on the right side of the camera as you're facing the back, there's an HDMI mini-port but the left port right here is a micro USB port and that's how you can transfer files from the camera to the computer. Alternatively, if you shut off the camera and then pop out the SD card you can put that into your computer if it's got an SD card slot or if you have an adapter, a USB adapter. And that's really the basics of using the Canon USM50.


What's up internet? I've been spending a lot of time away from keyboard and that's why a lot of our most recent videos have been shot, well kung saan saan na lang. But I still need to be able to work even if I'm on the go and doing things on a phone is just a pain in the behind. So that means buying a laptop. Now the problem is the last time I got a laptop was around 10 years ago and I don't follow the specifications, the new models, new features. Laptops are like a whole different world from desktops. So I really had to research what would be good for my needs and you really need to set goals when buying a laptop because they're not as versatile as desktops. You need to be clear on what you want the laptop to do and whether you have the budget in place to get a machine that can do that. So my primary purpose for this laptop is for work and that means a lot of browsers open with a lot of tabs between those browsers as well as MS Word and Excel. Also I wanted to use it for media consumption so it has to be a laptop with a nice screen for watching YouTube and other types of videos. So definitely not a laptop for gaming and not a laptop for editing. If you are interested in laptops that are good for editing wait another week we do have a video coming out on that as well. So taking into mind my primary consideration, what I need the laptop for, I settled on the ASUS VivoBook S14 Flip OLED. This is not a sponsored video. I purchased this laptop with my own money and ASUS doesn't even know we're coming out with a video on this laptop. Do you know what's also useful and quite affordable? Getting rid of that pesky watermark by obtaining an original and discounted Windows product key from our sponsor CD Key Offer. Step one, click on the link in our video description corresponding to the version of Windows you want. I'll select Windows 10 Pro. Step two, make an account with CD Key Offer. Step three, add to cart. Use our discount code HS20 and you'll receive a 25% discount. Basic tech specs first. The CPU is a Ryzen 5500H with 8GB of RAM and 500GB of SSD space. Now the very first thing I did as in literally the very first thing was add 16GB of RAM. And I had our guys in the shop do that. Yes hardware sugar now works on laptops. We can do laptop cleanings and basic upgrades. And our very first guinea pig for that service was my new laptop. If I trust the guys in the shop to work on my own personal items then I trust them to work on the items of customers. All of these tech specs translate into a very smooth experience for what I needed to do. When I say multiple tabs, I'm talking around 10 tabs in two instances of Firefox Open with Microsoft Word and Excel running as well. So given that workload, the laptop performed flawlessly, still very snappy and responsive. To be honest, I was a little scared that the CPU, which is just mid-range, wouldn't be able to keep up with everything. But I'm happy to report that I have no complaints about it. Programs load quickly and Windows Explorer is responsive. There's no sluggishness at all, hindi mo nararam daman na nahihirapan yung laptop. Adding a lot to that perception of speed is the keyboard, which is quite responsive. Now this is the standard modern keyboard of ASUS which you can find in a lot of their laptops now. You can bang out text as fast as you can and it will keep pace with you. The sound of the keys is a little loud so a little jarring if you're in a quiet place like a library or a quiet cafe, but nothing says productive more than the tick tick tick tick tick tick of the keys does kind of encourage you to keep going faster, keep typing at a blazing speed. The keys are raised enough that you do get some tactile feedback along with the visual feedback of seeing the words and letters appearing on screen. The keys are also a decent size so I'm confident enough that I'm pressing the right key without having my large fingers hitting the keys beside them accidentally. As is standard also with most laptops, the function keys double up a shortcut so you need to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen, turn your media to mute, disable the trackpad, disable the camera. All of these things have already been mapped out to the function keys and while not unique to ASUS, certainly the implementation on this laptop is quite useful and I find myself using the hot keys, the function keys all the time. One thing that is uncommon to this laptop is the built-in number pad into the trackpad.  As I mentioned this is for work and we do deal with a lot of numbers here at hardware sugar mostly because I'm trying to figure out how come the shop hasn't made money up to now and having a number pad built in is useful. It's not the gimmick. It is faster to input numbers even if it is a virtual number pad. Use our discount code HS20 and you'll receive a 25% discount. There are a variety of payment options available. Click pay now and we will finish the rest of these instructions at the latter part of our video so stay tuned. So the S14 Flip OLED performs great but is it practical to bring it around? Mabigat ba siya? On a practical level it doesn't feel light. If you're of the age where you had to bring heavy textbooks to class for college parang mas mabigat pa datay ang mga textbooks kaisa sa laptop na to. So this is a device that you can bring around pretty effortlessly. It does come with the standard freebie backpack as well now. I bring this up because when I was working as a lawyer, kailangan namin magdala ng laptop palagi. Yung I had a really old del laptop that I would bring anywhere. Basta may out of office kailangan magdala ng laptop. Minumura ko yung laptop na iyan kasi ang bigat niya. This is not that. This is portable and you can easily bring it around. This is not a break. We're logging it around counts as your bench press exercise for the day. And speaking of portability, kamusta ba yung battery life niya? Now this is really very variable because it depends on a lot of user factors. How bright do you like your screen? How many programs are you running at the same time that requires more resources from the computer? Now I do tend to run the screen a bit bright. Why get a nice screen if you're not going to use it? If you can't see it? But even with that preference, I estimate I could probably get around 12 hours worth on a single charge and probably a full day's worth on one charge if I did some common battery saving techniques. I never really stressed out the battery because for my use case, I would be out just for a couple of hours. Then I could get home and charge sa laptop again. So battery life is decent and probably good enough for most of the use cases for the types of work that you would need this laptop to do. So far it's been great. I have no complaints. Two thumbs up, 100% for executing on what I primarily needed for work. But as I mentioned earlier, I also bought it with watching videos in mind. That's why I got the OLED version. Frequent viewers of the channel know that I have fallen in love with OLED. I can't go back anymore. I thought IPS screens were great before but after seeing OLED monitors, it's OLED or nothing for me. And if I'm going to watch videos, then I want it on an OLED screen. The screen of this laptop does not disappoint. The vividness, the vibrancy, all of the things that I've come to expect from a good OLED panel can be found in this laptop. And I recently got to try out a more expensive laptop also from ASUS as part of their pro art line. So yung pang creators, designers, video editors talaga. The screen on that one was also an OLED and that laptop is crazy expensive compared to this laptop. Now the screen of that laptop was great but it was just as equal to this screen. So two laptops, very different in price but the screens are both excellent. So props to this particular laptop, again the S14 Flip OLED for basically tying in terms of overall image quality, a much more expensive ASUS laptop. So the screen on this laptop is gorgeous, well worth the additional expense of getting the OLED version. And you don't feel like you're losing out on the experience of watching videos just because you're watching on a laptop on a smaller screen. In fact, I found I'm watching more and more videos on the laptop instead of my larger desktop because with the laptop you can just be wherever on the couch, in your bed, and you can get into more relaxing positions compared to having to sit still in front of your desktop. As an aside, the speakers of the S14 Flip OLED are also pretty good. I usually don't have a lot of respect for built-in speakers whether they're in laptops or in monitors but the speakers on this laptop were loud enough and also reproduced the kind of sonic range that I would think is good enough considering that they are just built in speakers. So in a pinch if you're alone please don't watch when there are other people, one of my pet peeves is when you assault other people with the sound of your videos in public.  Lastly on productivity, the screen is large enough that you can have two windows side by side with each other. So let's say you can have one word document filling up half the screen and your browser filling up the other half, perfect for multitasking or taking information from one source that you can integrate to your work in another source. Let's finish the installation guide of your windows product key. After you've finished paying, you'll find your windows product key within your account profile. Go to windows activator, copy and paste that key in there and you are good to go. Remember to use our discount code HS20 to get that 25% discount. Now we've covered the basics but there are two last functions of the S14 Flip OLED which a lot of people would think are just gimmicks and that is one, it's full flip functionality and two, it's touchscreen. Now I've seen a lot of reviewers complain why would you spend extra for these things? You don't need them, they're just gimmicks. Actually I would beg to disagree. I find both of them to be very useful. Now Asus didn't invent the flip category. I believe it was Lenovo back in the day with their first yoga lineup where you could flip it all the way and it kind of becomes a large tablet and the idea has just been refined since then. What the flip allows you to do is to use the laptop comfortably because of its form factor, you can bring the laptop in a lot of spaces, niches that you couldn't bring other devices and the flip allows you to adapt to whatever space you're in. Do you need the laptop standing straight up completely? You are you more comfortable with it in tablet mode? You really can't tell until you need to figure it out and you need to maneuver the screen to an angle to a position that you find the most comfortable to wherever you're in. The flexibility of the flip means you can adapt to those situations whether it's super cramped in a car, spread out on a couch, crunched up in an airplane seat, you won't really think you need the flip function until you don't have it. And it's basically the same with the touch function. I found it super useful for scrolling, for reaching out to pause a video instead of having to look for the space bar. The touch screen gives you more versatility which is what you want in a laptop. Since space is at the premium, the more possibilities of interacting with the device the better, the more contact surfaces between the user and the device the better. So I found both of those features to be very useful and it really makes me appreciate the small form factor of a laptop compared to a bulky desktop. Finally filed away under the miscellaneous category, the power button also as a built-in fingerprint sensor which is quite responsive and accurate. I don't know how they were able to build in such a small sensor into that small button but it works and it works well and again it's not something that I would immediately think about but it's something super practical to have and nice to use. And that's been a running theme with my use of this laptop. There are so many features that seem a little gimmicky at first but are great for usability, for quality of life as you're using the laptop especially if you're using it for extended periods. So my only gripe really about this laptop is more about the software. Windows seems to be doing weird things occasionally. Like I booted up one time and then suddenly it's asking me for a recovery password because apparently my drive had been encrypted by BitLocker even though I didn't tell BitLocker to do such a thing so I had no idea what my recovery password was. It's like na ransomware ako but not by a malicious program but by my own OS. Fortunately after several restarts Windows decided that no I don't need to ask this guy for his recovery password. I was able to get back in and turn off BitDefender. It has also happened once or twice that I booted up and it gave me a blank screen but again after several off and ons it managed to boot back up to Windows. So the OS is doing weird things but I don't think that's the fault of the laptop. So my laptop has a few ghosts in the machine but I attribute that more to the software rather than the hardware. Overall I am super happy with this laptop for what I needed to do. I can write YouTube scripts and answer emails while waiting for my daughter to finish school. I can answer customer inquiries from the comfort of my own bed rather than being chained to a desktop. Now this is not a high-end laptop. According to my brother Rafael for high-end laptops you should be able to open the screen or flip up the screen using just one finger. The S14 Flip OLED does not pass that test. It's definitely just mid-range but when you use the product you don't feel that at all. It certainly punches well above its weight class and that gorgeous bright vivid OLED screen is just a cherry on top to allow you to enjoy videos at the end of a long work day. Thanks for watching.

In a later development entertainer, Debo Adidayo, popularly known as Mr. Macaroni, has asked the Lagos state government to begin its call for peace by ensuring or first ensuring justice through the implementation of the recommendations of the NSAS panel. Adidayo said this on Tuesday as after the governor had called him and several other youths to join or walk for peace in December to hear out the healing of the land. He however explained that he is willing to rescind his decision once the right steps are followed to ensure justice. Governor Samo Loha during a briefing earlier in the day said he would lead the peace walk in order to hear out the healing of the land in the face of the misinformation and misunderstanding following the recent leak of a report by the Judicial Panel of Inquiry on the answers debacle.
