I'm Sergeant Marcus Walker. I'm the Air Force Reserve Recruiter. I'm located out here in Moore, Oklahoma, which is about 10 minutes south of Oklahoma City. I'm originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, but I grew up in El Paso, Texas just by being an Army brat. Originally entered the Air Force in 2010, came in as security forces, but was able to get a secondary tech school to be an academy instructor. Started out in Dover and Delaware, then transferred out to Pope Air Force Base out there at Fort Bragg, and then transferred out to Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Atlanta, Georgia. And then now I'm up here at Tinker Air Force Base as my fourth location. If you want to get in contact with me, I have Facebook, Air Force Reserve Moore slash Midwest City. And then for my Instagram, it's Air Force Reserve Oklahoma. And then I have the Twitter page, which is Air Force Reserve Staff Sergeant Marcus Walker. Can you do college while you're in the Air Force Reserves? Yep. One week in a month, you're doing a military thing. You could be a student Monday through Friday. Your military is not going to interfere with being a full-time student. Does the reserves pay for college? So you can go to college while you're in, but how are you going to afford college? What are the what is the incentive or benefits that the reserve offers there? So you have multiple routes. You have your tuition assistance. We're basically the Air Force Reserve is going to give you $4,500 to put strictly towards your tuition. And that's tuition only, not books, not fees or anything. And then as well, as long as you're a high school graduate, you're going to receive the Montgomery Giabil Select Reserve. It's not going to be the same amount compared to our active duty counterpart because as soon as you complete your base training in the tech school, you'll have access to 40% of that. I normally recommend a lot of people. I understand it's it's nice going to a four-year college, but why are you spending $10,000 and $15,000 for a English comp class that you can take out of your college? It's education classes. You're spending all this extra money for no reason. If you go to a community college, knock out your basics and transfer to a four year, your Montgomery Giabil Select Reserve will actually help cover that tuition. And then as well, depending on the career field you enlist to, there's a thing called a kicker. So the Air Force is going to give you an additional 12,000 on top of your Montgomery Giabil to put towards your career, your education. If you go on to a career field, normally it's like our two Ts, two Alphas, our three Es. It varies and it changes by time. So it all depends on the time you enlist to a career field going to, that'll determine if you're eligible for the kicker. And then as well, if you meet the requirements, you can potentially earn the post-911 Giabil. So you have to complete a certain amount of active duty days. That's not basic training in tech school. But if you meet that requirement, you'll be eligible for a post-911 Giabil. At that rate, you'll get basic allowance for housing. You'll get your base pay of the E5 and you'll get money put towards your school.  Units have money to spend. And so if they have that money to bring people on orders for like six, seven, eight, nine months and somebody wants to do that, you're racking up your active duty time and that's going to help make you eligible for post-911. So the educational benefits is all going to vary on the applicant just because do they want to go to school immediately? Do they really have their mind fixed on this one job and the educational benefits don't match the, or are you willing to take a gap year to get that active duty, you know, be on some orders so you can make more bang for your buck to get the post-911 Giabil? As long as you got a decent recruiter, they're going to be taking care of and help you out to make sure you maximize the bang for your buck because like I said at the end of the day, it's one week in a month and you're coming to us to help pay for school. So we have to make sure we're hooking you up in the best way possible because unlike active duty, you're not going to another state. You know exactly where office is located. You know where our cars are.  We want you to be happy. So anytime you see us, you say, Hey, you know, thanks, I got my back shoes and so and so. So that way you can tell your friend, Hey, so and so helped me get my school paid for. You might want to look into it. So we're going to try our best to get them taken care of. And like I said, if it doesn't work out like out here in Oklahoma, they have a tuition waiver. So they'll pay for school. So if you do just want to go to like, for example, University of Oklahoma for freshman and senior year, I might see you to the Air National Guard because they have the tuition state waiver, but the guard is through the state itself. So he might offer state specific benefits to that, that state unit. Correct. Nice. Cool. That's cool how you guys kind of like refer each other because even when I had done the Air National Guard interview, he said, like, sometimes we'll refer people to active duty or reserve. I don't think our thing is the right fit for you. This is where you should be. It's not, you're not trying to just like car salesman people into it. Really trying to sell this car. I don't care if it's the best thing for you, but you guys are more focused on like, no, we want people to come in that are going to be happy. It's finally coming down the forefront as far as what we call total force. And when you start seeing commercials, you're going to start seeing now active duty guard and reserve because that's the big push. We're really what's sending best interest for the applicant. It's not mostly based for the jobs, but which component is going to be more beneficial for the applicant on what they're trying to accomplish? Yeah, because if they can have a good experience that reflects good on the Air Force, which then basically creates a continued perception that this is a great opportunity. If a lot of people are having good opportunities or good experiences, it just keeps pushing that it promotes itself at that point. Correct. All right. Here's a big question. Probably not a lot of people do this, but it's something that we've been asked before. Can you do Air Force ROTC when you're in the reserves? Yes, you can. So if you are not a scholarship student, you can be a reservist and you can still do the any ROTC program at college. If you do get selected to get commissioned, then it's literally a simple release from the reserve and active duty will take over. Or if you go the ROTC, you don't get picked up, the commission active duty. You can coordinate with your unit and do what's called the deserve and airman program. You'll put a package together to commission within the reserve component because you've already met all the requirements. You took the Air Force officer qualifications test. As long as everything's good to go and you have your bachelor's degree, you can go officer either ROT through active duty, or if they don't have enough slots available, you can go officer within a reserve. I'm glad you actually said that. That was going through my head. I was going to ask that and you just felt like on top of it, like answering these questions before I can even get them out. So that was good because I didn't even have that question written down. But I was curious how that would work when you had just mentioned going active duty. And I was like, hmm, I wonder what it would be like if you finished your four-year degree and we're trying to become an officer in your own unit. So that's really cool that you mentioned that. Here's one of the biggest concerns people have about serving in the military and doing college. What if I deploy while I'm going to school? I won't say it's hard to answer that question, but we're in the military. If we get called, we're called. But realistically, from what I've seen being a reservist my whole career, a lot of people volunteer for deployment and as well as a reserve component, we're small. You're not just a name on a piece of paper.    They know what's going on, what you got going on in life. So if they do have a task in for deployment and you're in school, they're probably going to have somebody, too many volunteers anyway, and not put you on at rotation. If it's one of those all hands on deck, you coordinate with your Veterans Affairs office at your actual college and they'll coordinate with the actual school to get you taken care of as well. So that way your school doesn't disenroll you or anything like that because at once again, you're federally protected. You're getting activated into the on title 10 orders.  It's not hard. It's just it's one of those is going to be on a case to case basis because you never know what that activation might be. It could be a humanitarian relief and it has to be all hands on deck or it could just be that it's that year everybody has to go and we just need 15 bodies to head up head out and you're in school. Don't worry about it. So we've talked about the college benefits of after you join. But what if somebody wants to college before they join and they're just drowning in debt from going to college? Does the reserves offer a repayment program for student loans that you've already taken out? Well, we do. But honestly, it's the student loan repayment plan is basically they're going to give you $10,000 put your tuition or towards that your debt. What we normally do is tell them, hey, we're going to try and place you into a job as a assigning bonus because it's going to be more than that $10,000. You take that money and as long as you're being smart and put it towards your debt instead of brand new system in your car, then we're helping you pay for that. We do offer it, but we normally try and push people towards the signing bonus just because it's a lot more money to put towards their college loans. Okay. And so with that repayment program, is there like a stipulation to that? Like if you use that, you forfeit any other benefits or? You can't take the sign. So if you're going to a career filled as a signing bonus, you can't use the student loan repayment. So it's basically the same thing. You got a bigger choose. You want the $15,000 and you want this $10,000. Normally, we tell everybody, take $15,000 and a slot more money is going to help up. Yeah. Good. That's good to know. So with the GI bill, can you get the GI bill like active duty does? So we have the Montgomery and a post 911. How do you those work or a reservist? So it's the same. As soon as you complete basic training in tech school, you'll have access to your Montgomery GI bill, select reserve, and that's only 40%. The longer you stay in the reserve component, the more that percentage is going to go up. If you do not use your Montgomery GI bill, select reserve, you can transfer that to a spouse or your children. So if you don't use it, you can just transfer that down the line. So like I said, a spouse or kids. What's the requirements for transferring it to your children or your spouse? So my office partner, he actually transferred his educational benefits to his wife. Okay. He can actually answer that question for you. So once I reached the six year mark and I had, at that point, I had the, I had the GI bill for myself because I came in active duty. So it's a little bit different Sergeant Walker coming in with a traditional reservist role. But once I reached that, it was really as simple as, you know, you just get in the system, you be in the system as far as, you know, you being able to gain access to all the education benefits and everything. And obviously you would have your family members and everything listed.  In my case, I was giving it at that point, a lot of it to my wife, so she could go to school. But then you also have children. So what she didn't use, I kind of put back some to me and then kind of placed it out, you know, evenly distributed it to my kids, you know, when they become of age to be able to go to college. But to your directly to your question, it was that six year mark. Now, Sergeant Walker would be able to answer better as far as, is he traditional reservist? No, no, he's not. He's prior service active duty. Okay. Okay. So you're looking at, is he? No, no, no. It's for other people, other people. So like for reservists, how would that work? It's the same six years. So it's the same. So, okay, it says it says active duty reserve on this that we're pulling up. Yeah, it looks like it's just at the six year mark. So really, it is just about that total timeframe. It's not about being active duty and having to be a career.  And then once you have that, that six year mark, you can transfer whatever you got to be a hundred percent six year mark. Okay. So it should be a hundred percent of that your mark anyway. So it should be good. That's, that's something that you can tell, tell other people to now when they're joining. We all just learned something new. Yeah. My, I always tell people to the Air Force has so many benefits and opportunities that like you can't know about all of them. There's just too many opportunities for veterans and military members.  It's almost overwhelming when you're in like trying to decide between all these opportunities you want to take advantage of, like it's just your bombardous so much. Oh yeah.

Yes, welcome back. Welcome back. This is still why in the morning. Thank you for staying with us if you're just joining Well, you're on time for the fast conversation of the day on strength of a woman and today We have a special conversation being the mental awareness month. We want to talk about Dealing with disappointment. How exactly should we go about dealing with? Such situations and for this we are joined by a counselor professional counselor and who's also a teacher She has called Zepora Wanyeki, Karibu Zepora. Yes, Santisanna, how are you? I'm good. Glad to have you again with us. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, so now you are a resident guest. Yes, sure, sure. So we want to talk about dealing with disappointment, but first we want to understand disappointment. What is disappointment and what forms does it come, you know, in form of what forms are there? Thank you so much. It's it's good that this topic has come in handy after we were done with the elections campaigns and now we're in a new government Talking of disappointment. I'll start by telling you that I know at one given time you've ever been disappointed A lot. As long as you're living under the sun you have been disappointed. So what is this we are calling disappointment? It is purely that emotion. We classify it as an emotion when we are teaching about types of emotion Disappointment is an emotion and when does it crop in? It comes when you do not meet your expectation So it comes in the form of sadness. You are very sad. You're very unhappy.  It does not match the outcome Definitely, we say you are a disappointed person and you wouldn't wish to see a disappointed person They come in all forms and talking of disappointment.   Yeah, I know how to make it come tomorrow in the afternoon You'll see it on the material day you go either. He has closed all if he's there is now that he's when they see you They start getting the fabric and trying to cut it and pretending to look busy And I know somebody who never used the art as they had bought for the wedding because you you get disappointed It can be anything picture someone who has if you have the little young ones and it's their birthday They keep on reminding you every single day, ma'am from my birthday I want Sophia the first cake and you go and you ask the big and they say nobody will ever tell you They don't know they even have photos of what they can make on the material day you go to collect the cake I know you've seen those days trending of what you asked for That's what you got You get disappointed so disappointment is all over we're talking about campaigns They have just ended the other day So we're going to come and look at the forms of disappointment that they are there and you'll notice that people are disappointed in this country quite Some people deal with this okay before we get to even dealing with disappointment. What does Disappointment that therefore leads to mm-hmm. Oh, yeah It might come and lead to other things because we are talking about the month of mental health awareness I'll come and tell you that when you're disappointed and you are not able to deal with it because we say life is 1% What happens to you and a 99% how you react how you react to it? so it's all about how have you been able to react to the disappointment and The other time we had a show here.  So can we look at the form so that I tell you how they lead to depression think about Something like marriage for example, okay before we come to marriage start with the relationship Relationship where by a boy and a girl are they are Very happy and you know, there's this car feeling like you are the only people in the universe You are in love and nobody else in these world is in love.   So then after some time two weeks to marriage You notice that this guy has a family so there's no way that wedding is going to happen This person has a serious breakup No, that is serious disappointment.  It's very well. So that's a form of disappointment Hi, you've crossed there. You've come to marriage Another serious form of disappointment Stephanie on your wedding day. It's I actually call it drama The bridegroom nobody cares the bride you enter you're in white from the hair from the shoes from You are white and everybody Bibi arusi Mesa Bibi arusi Everything is about Bibi arusi. He's standing there.   They have accomplished.  They're building or they're doing something else So these girl thinks that she's going to be the project forever She realizes her this man can even come late. Ah Today I received a slap. Ah, I called and he hasn't even answered you realize that ah marriage is a scam That's what I hear people say You're not getting their expectation. He doesn't match up to your standard It used to be very careful in the way they were treating you and calling you today You're not receiving maybe one call if you're lucky or not at all per day. You become very disappointed You wonder is this what I bargained for is this what I was looking for you Warrant used to be commanded here and there now there you have to borrow permission ask for permission However, you're going what so that's another form of disappointment. That is in marriage and When we are teaching people about marriage counseling, we tell them The greatest course of marriage Breakup and divorce is actually and met expectation. It's not cheating Yeah, so the disappointment. Oh, yes, it's not cheating. It is not what it is not what it is and met expectation When you go to these people and you expecting this is what is going to happen and you find that is not what is happening You feel you feel short changed Yeah, so that is one of the main courses of divorce if you go doing your research very well. So that is in marriage you can't work Everybody would want to climb up there the famous interview question Where do you see yourself in five years time? You tell them I see myself as the CEO of this company five years You've not even moved from one department to the next you're still in the same department And you've been working hard You come very early in the morning. You live very late As if that is not enough a fresh graduate comes from I don't know where and she's promoted You're so disappointed. You feel like what you're giving to the organization. They are not giving it back to you That's a form of disappointment that happens and it is common Another one common is in school that one everybody can relate In school There's this topic The whole night the whole time you even tell everyone chemistry is your best subject You've crammed all the the the chemical symbols and you know them offered On the morning ready of the exam not a single question comes from what you've been studying They bring questions from all the other topics except what you've studied You fail so you used to be a bookworm and everybody knew in class you wake up at 4 To go and study while the others are sleeping You don't go for functions funkies music festivals and what because you're studying and then you hammer a D That's a disappointment and a serious one And if you're not taught how to deal with disappointment it can end up being Too nasty. So talk about campaign that I've just ended Actually people are disappointed in Kenya I met someone who told me this is how people feel then I know I'm feeling because out of the six candidates president The governor the senator the what all the people that I voted for they failed Not even one Was very disappointed.   So you have failed you feel totally Disappointed and it comes with other illnesses. You find that this person is not even eating Not talking to people not doing what you do not want anything you feel depressed That's a form of disappointment the campaigns and so many other things that we could we can talk about in life That are forms of disappointing but those are mainly the ones that really affect the our Yes, and is it uh, you've said it's something uh, that We cannot evade you can't evade disappointment as long as actually there's a famous quote that says if you want to avoid Disappointment avoid expecting too much from people Do not expect anything from anyone that way you'll not be disappointed and is it possible to not expect of course not Who doesn't expect who doesn't have expectations? Yeah, because we need to be hopeful about There's no way you will avoid disappointment the only way you can do is start practicing what you call self love Love yourself too much ask yourself What i'm facing right now will it matter in two years to come? If not wake up dust yourself and move on You you've heard of people who've tried to avoid for presidency for many years in us And they got it as the last minute thing they didn't give up So ask yourself is it worth to pursue it or should I now move to a different opportunity career path or something like that But don't die while you're there Okay So we have agreed that disappointment. It's there in life. Oh yeah, it is and it is very common But when is disappoint when we know people face different types of disappointment answer people have it Harder than others. So when is enough really enough enough enough? Yeah It becomes enough Okay, how we can look at you and say that so and so is disappointed and so and so it has taken at all on this person You notice, uh, it is uh, it is a feeling. It's an emotion. You're feeling overwhelmed. You're very sad Things didn't go your way.   We've had those stories. You send money. They tell you now. We are doing the roofing How much 100,000 you send now? We are doing. I don't know that what you send on the material day When you come you realize there was no such a house being built Is it a picture? You plot remains bare you so disappointed. How do we know that it has taken toll on you when you're very frustrated?  Ah And it's very it's very common nowadays That's why I advise people when you go and you're talking to someone this person answers you rudely or You know answers you back in a way that you didn't expect Please do not now start holding grudges.    Don't bother. Just know they're dealing with their own issues So when you go and you meet someone in an office and does not feel like talking to you Just know they're dealing with their own issues. You are not the problem So it comes with that kind of anger another way is feeling lonely. This person feels lonely alone Right now you are being called All over You feel like you're so lonely. You do not want to move to people You do not want to talk to people you've been dumped by a boyfriend two weeks before the wedding You wonder I had told everybody even my grandmother in the village They have even organized a lot of vehicle that would be ferrying them to Nairobi for my wedding Now there's no wedding. Where do I start? You feel very lonely. So these people keep to themselves They cry a lot If they're able to cry, which is still okay They're trying to enter there. They're their frustrations and their disappointment other than that you would find that They get depressed And why we are here is because we would want to help people so that they avoid Disappointment getting them to depression a simple definition of depression is a feeling of hopelessness Because you've been stressed for too long You've tried to remain very firm. You've tried to remain very strong But now it has reached everybody if you stretch someone Everybody has a limit up to what up to what level can you Stretch this person. So we have stretched you. Life has stretched you. You've done everything I know someone who is right now In the hospital and may god help that person because Ali fail in this election thing You had hoped everything was working very well. Everything was working very well at the mca People were telling you you are the one all of sudden you realize you are not the one So you you are not able to deal with that. So this person if not well monitored can lead to depression That state of hopelessness that state of feeling you're not worth you have no energy. That's another sign You have no energy to do anything even to wake up even You don't eat Nothing excites you because a depressed person when we're talking of there's there are many forms of depression But talking of clinical depression one of the characteristics of this person is that they are forever sad Nothing excites them. Not their favorite movie. Not their favorite food. They're just there. They're sad They don't have emotions with them They just they are we don't want to open up or nothing can excite that person. Yes, they feel hopeless They feel like and most of them they have suicidal thoughts Is this other stages now to depression to disappointment because you have said it leads to now depression Other different stages that people should look out for you know, you can be disappointed But let it not get to the stage to that stage Most people do not know how far is too far Unless they are being helped probably by a therapist a therapist sitting with you and listening to your 10 minutes talk Will be able to know This person is at this level of dealing with stress. So too much stress leads to depression Now when you know that you need a therapist or you need to work on your disappointment because people get disappointed Our football man news g chess news g arsenal.  So the moment you go to bed and you're not sleeping something is disturbing you And now if that is constant it only worsens your depression state So when you start noticing that you're being cut off you are not eating well You're not doing your daily routine a depressed person will even refuse to bathe The normal things that these people do now by the time it is coming to become psychosis It has moved to stages before when I'm to a meokota karatasi koko barabara who hijans up So it starts all it starts and and in a small way in a small way So it is all about you and me to observe the people that we have around us And you know so and so of late is not doing very well. I wonder why he's not jovial I wonder why this person is keeping to themselves. I wonder why they are not happy I wonder why when you are able to engage these people you can help them But the moment it crocks and now it goes to serious clinical depression Now that that is when we take this person to a clinical psychologist so that you now put on medication Yeah, so we can manage you before you I mean a counselor can manage you before you go to the extreme end of medication because now when you're on medication You can imagine where you are you almost towards the end and most people it's it's a it's a slow way of death You'll die slowly when you start when you stop eating When you stop relating to people when you stop sleeping. Well, those are sure ways of dying Yeah, all right, and where's the place of frustration or is it interchangeably used with Disappointment Not necessarily if you go and check your dictionary, they might try to use that one interchangeably but not Disappointment is an emotion Frustration is like the the the outcome of it When you hear someone say I'm very frustrated You ask why so and so did this to me. So as a result of your frustrations when you pile them you become very disappointed Very disappointed.  What is happening to me? This doesn't look anything close to what I asked for it just looks there Nothing appealing at all. You are very disappointed. Yeah, it does not match your expectation So causes of disappointment that number one will be able to look at is animate expectation Actually, that is number one cause the main course of disappointment in this world Is animate expectation? Don't take it for granted when your expectations are not met even when cooking food you've heard of people talk of mashakura Imagine you have this wedding you have an event you've been invited or all your special guests there and um A chef comes in and tells you I'm going to do this event I have my company have a catering Our company I'm going to do this and the fully they present to you you look at it. You close your eyes It does not look anything close to what you asked for You are very Disappointed why they did not meet your expectation And if you go around looking around even the people that are disappointed right now in marriage In a relationship in their workplace in their careers everywhere. It is animate expectation. That is number one The expectation was up there and what they got was down here I I saw something on social media about these online things that we buy so someone so a very nice Sofa sofa set online a coach and asked for it and was told actually could not wonder wondered Only 5000 I am getting this one. I think it's on offer After three days, whatever he asked for was was was was brought and guess what it was in a small container It was a twice sofa So what had he expected you are seeing new by angle.  So your expectation versus what you get lower your expectation So that is number one course Number two overconfidence Okay, overconfidence is actually number one recipe number two recipe for disaster When you're overconfident picture this person because overconfident people, maybe we can call them vibele mele They don't believe that there's anything else left to learn They think their mister enemies is no at all. They have learned everything. They don't have a teachable spirit So this person believes now I know everything You approach the exam. You're a student with this overconfidence of yours Where they had said which one of the following is not you did not see the word not You just see which one of the following and you answer because you had all the points ready.  So overconfidence in anything even in politics Do not you know You are supposed to leave a room somewhere So that people can correct you But when people notice that you are not teachable if they cannot tell you anything you're overconfident You are up there. You will be disappointed and you'll be alone. Okay. So that is another course of disappointment. What is the other one? Talk about over trusting There are people even in marriage setup who over trust their spouses. I am not saying trusting is bad. Trusting is good It is good to trust Over trusting is not whereby you you you put this person if it's a husband You put him in a cocoon and you believe that He can't do I mean he he lives in heaven. Who are not okay? And then even he goes back to heaven Leave a room for disappointment Create a room knowing that is a human being and human is to error. So he can error even himself So do not over trust and these are the kind of people When they are told I I saw babasua and so in someone this is something. Oh, no Him no you over protect him We have had all manner of cases and one of them being Someone who left the husband to the husband. I'm going abroad for a business trip The husband drops the lady to jki Then after some time the husband receives a call that We have identified the body of so and so I'm here. No my wife left But you are left in jki Couldn't there was no abroad that this lady was going she was just around immediately She was dropped then the other guy picks and they go for a road drive. Are you getting it? So when you have over trusted somebody you believe this person cannot do that This person cannot do that. Those are the people who never come as ishi. You look at the person Who is now the immediate friend probably maybe the husband at always elia Because you this person has broken your trust so do not over trust anyone You can trust but don't trust people but do not over trust them. Okay, leave a room for breakup Leave a room for doubt doubt someone where actually enough us here in case of anything what would happen So even your own children I have seen you know me. I mean the education sector So I've seen all those parents because children have a way of playing a double personality They can be very nice to you at home And very bad very different when they come to school So when you report these personas because it is I know No Where until that day you'll come I try telling one one person about Drugs I don't know. I have a feeling this child could be in drugs She later confirmed that indeed the sun was in there into drugs. So what are we trying to say do not over trust In management there's something they call management by working around You walk around and see what people are doing. Don't just delegate Walk around and see what you delegated. Are they doing it? Otherwise if you sit there and you wait for result you might be you might be very disappointed in life So over trusting we can talk about lack of mentors In Kenya and in the world today If you want to go for have a mentor Have someone who mentors you They have gone through what you are about to go through They have gone ahead of you. They have experience don't be fooled by someone that experience is the best teacher Not all the time You do not wait for you to get HIV and AIDS so that you can now tell people where HIV hiv nimbaya So you can be able to learn from people who have already gotten it and you can be able to avoid it So when you have a mentor, probably maybe it's in a business setup You have a mentor this person will tell you no you want to go to gikomba. This is the way not this one This is what we do it So that is a solution to dealing with Disappointment having it could be a solution and a lack of mentor is a cost Of a disappointment. Yes. It's a cost when you don't have a mentor You will start hustling your own way You will incur so many losses Because you you you didn't know you are you are doing what you call try an error method But if you have a mentor at akwambia, you want to join business. This is what we do I tried this a didn't work. So probably can we try this can you do this? You already have a guideline on what to do Most people have held in in in life even in marriage even in what in whatever spheres of life Because they did not have mentors So they end up very disappointed Only if they had identified a mentor would have sorted all these things because you would know Think of these upcoming musicians, for example Or even artist or even anyone that is upcoming If you don't have a mentor, what are you likely to do? You'll do the same mistakes people did and they dried and that was it. They were long forgotten But if you have a mentor you you and dying doesn't mean necessarily literally dying you can die in your career I know there are musicians used to hear but you no longer hear them today They committed a certain mistake and that was the end of their career So when you have mentors they save you a lot of years of agony You are able to years of disappointment They save you a lot of disappointment Even in football we have mentors we have coaches They are there and they are able to guide you they are able to guide you and when you appear before a coach Just do things as they tell you a mentor knows it So yeah, just follow what they are saying observe of course with an open mind And when you follow that it will save you disappointment Okay, and now before we get to how exactly to deal with them Does it affect people The same way different ages because I'm thinking of a child Does it affect a child the same way it affects An older person disappointment is disappointment and disappointment is an emotion emotion and Matters to do with the psychology matters to do with the mental health matters to do with the feelings There's no difference between an adult in a child How it affects a child is the way it affects an adult The fact that for example think about a child This child who is trying to pile the the the the the blocks and they are not working You're trying to arrange your vehicle to fix that that catholic and it's not it's very frustrated because of that And finally they crying talking about cbc cbc every other day. They come with something Oh, we were told to make a marionette now today. We are making a perpet tomorrow We are making these the other day. We make a scarecrow. You get it. Yes Every single day they are making different things. So you've you've told this Nairobi child to go and make a perpet a marionette They have not seen it elsewhere as scarecrow. They don't even have a shamba. They're living in the city So they're trying to you know fix things that they are not working. They're very frustrated. They cry If you don't chip in as a parent this child is very disappointed So disappointment in children. So the only difference is What disappoints a child is not what disappoints an adult but the feeling is the same So as a child what you are disappointed when maybe when your child is they didn't hold a birthday for you Or maybe they they denied you permission to go and play carongo rongo and you felt very bad That was a form of disappointment. Well, you came to adolescent.  You're disappointed because you go to career. So there are different levels and different Stimulus even they call them but the feeling is the same How this child will feel disappointed is how the old man feels disappointed So now how do we deal with disappointment? How do we deal with disappointed? Thank you. Number one lower your expectation If possible have none from people What you could say dear Growly to god if they do not please just let it be like that It's okay to have expectation but it is okay to have them but manage them to the their minimum Let them be just down there. Don't expect too much from people Personally, I'm a church person. So I've seen people in different churches and and maybe they were hoping that um People will come in during my event Maybe you lost your your close relative and people do not come in as you would expect And you hear people say you can't sit or you can't get in Why your expectations were not met lower your expectations just work hard Hard enough that you can be able to give a decent send off to someone We just maybe But don't expect to think of a wedding because I mean I'm not again a steno one by the way But think of this person who wants to do a flashy wedding because you want to spend 1 million in your wedding or 800 thousand And so you form a committee What's up group? What church were you the what junior you this jiva happy? I mean everybody is incorporated there in the whatsapp group.  We make your hair. We pay for food. We pay for nothing And then you think probably you know, if I'm expensive they have money. How much are they having? 10 000 out of the one immediate budget They have 10 000 too much expectation in people So they're expecting people to do what to cheap in 990,000 So someone comes in looks at it and I'm not to chase that away I mean how do you I mean you can go to the edge and you do your wedding there? You can just do a simple wedding the other day Someone who did a hundred about wedding and they are still wedding is wedding or marijuana What is important is the one marijuana. So I'm not telling people to do that. But what I'm saying is lower your expectation You will be very frustrated when you find that people have started lifting your group What when I left what when I left I'm on our pledge It is one week to the wedding and the budget is not even quarter we met You start wondering now. What do we do? We had booked a very expensive hotel. We had booked a limousine award We don't have the funds. So lower your expectation even in marriage Go there as a friend. Do not expect too much. Actually. I always advise couples Give what you would want to receive. You want to receive love. Give love You want to have a friend be a friend to that person.  You do your what you will not be Disappointed. Okay. So that is number one. Number two. We said do not over trust Don't over trust people Leave a room where people can be able to you know You walk around and see what people are doing Get to know leave a room. Yeah. They live in heaven. So just know that you can be disappointed by someone Do not over trust people Even when you delegate Be part of it. Just go and see what you're doing.  Your reaction matters mentor your mindset is everything your mindset is everything So how you react to it will tell us whether you'll be disappointed or not. So leave a room Do not over trust people We have talked about mentors make sure that you have a mentor and I do a mahali with yenda And I didn't mention earlier that another form of another course is lack of proper planning It will cause you disappointment serious ones when you don't plan There's a famous code that says that failure to plan is planning to fail. So when you don't plan, what are you expecting? Automatically the results will be negative. So you would be disappointed. So how do we help you now start planning? And planning comes in the form of I'm sure you've heard these people saying guy Me do you know me every other time I miss flight? I have to take the second flight and I pay double the amount you've had Why why is that the case? You only had a problem with planning plan ahead, you know, you you you are traveling plan ahead It will serve you a lot of disappointment.  You will not deliver.  So you it was a recipe for disappointment that you're preparing You knew it all along and women are smarter when it comes to dates They they they know time and what so and so's birthday plan it way ahead You'd be disappointed We've talked about overconfidence Overconfident people we only tell them you are not mister and miss it. No at all Leave a room for learning Everybody can learn and anybody can teach you Behind every nasty experience. There's a very good lesson behind it. Even in that disappointment There's a lesson to learn from it. So take your time and learn Learn learn as much as you can from everything You are vying for a seat and you didn't get it What lessons go and write five lessons learned from this next time you'll be very smart Yeah, very interesting. And now um, I wanted to ask you something How important is it to You know deal with a disappointment because it's um, it can be easy to just overlook it And move on with life and not actually face what you you know, what you're dealing with Or is it okay to just overlook it and move on? No, you will not overlook it.  You will be deliberately you have to take an action participate in you coming out of it Depending on what had cost you disappointment Uh, we can tell this one might take time to heal. This one is just I don't know whether I um We had done a show earlier that we were talking about dealing with loss because talking about disappointment You cannot separate disappointment and loss Disappointment and loss is one and the same Because when when you have lost something you are very disappointed And there's these uh, psychologists called uh, kubralos And he talked about the stages that people go through when they are facing loss and loss Stephanie does not have to be uh, uh death Only because when we talk of also and so is mourning is griefing you can grieve over many things Maybe you are having a position in your workplace and you are demoted That's loss you will grieve over it Maybe you had a business and you closed it down.  It's a form of loss. Maybe you are expectant And uh, you lost the baby you miscarried. So that's a form of loss So maybe you are walking along the streets of Nairobi and somebody's uh, just took snatched yokei beti It's a form of loss. So loss can be made in many forms So dealing with loss number one we talk of uh, there's a stage I want to take you through Number one we talk about denial. That is the first stage when you have lost something you go into denial You deny you bring to it. So and so is dead. You say no way to go and edge on a journey He can call me this morning. No, it cannot happen. You deny After you realize that indeed You go to the next stage of anger.   You realize ah, it's not working. You start bargaining While you're bargaining, you start now giving reason. Oh if this happened This one would not have happened. This is when people start even having blame game I We failed in this test because you didn't do this Maybe it's a football it is because you are not scoring. Well, that is why it is because so and so do not do this So people blame you are bargaining. You're bargaining. It's a form of loss. It's a stage actually After you're done bargaining you go to uh, depression. Okay Depression is feeling empty You've lost you don't want anything You don't want to talk about it. You don't want people to call you Are you so untreated the other day someone who lost So this person feels very bad. It's a form of loss So after you're done with uh, depression if you're well helped you go to the last stage We call it acceptance So acceptance did now you've moved on if it is death You've decided now to fit into the shoes of the person who have died if it was a pastor You now fit in if it was the husband the wife comes all vice versa. So you've moved on Life now becomes no more to you.  So your question. All right. I think you've you've Pretty much answered it. But now we want to wrap it up By you talking to someone who's going through a Form of disappointment currently they have a heavy heart And they're feeling frustrated And you know, they have lost focus in whatever they they're doing almost leading to depression What do you tell them as we close? I would tell them this number one It is no more. What you're feeling is very normal. It is no more to feel disappointed Unless you're a robot. It is no more to feel disappointed. But now what do you do? You dust off you wake up and you start moving on It is not as easy as we say it.  So eat well I mean I have quality sleep Get some meditation some form of meditation it helps We call them in psychology some catharsis So catharsis are those things that you do so that you can preempt your emotion Someone who is good at music get the best music dance yourself off listen to the Some captivating movies comedy listen to them something that will bring your mood back Life is not over Until it is over. So how you react to these things matters a lot If you're feeling very much overwhelmed you see the therapist you see a counselor come to us We'll be able to walk you through the journey of loss because that is loss And probably we see that you've been able to accept and to move on Ask yourself. Whatever morning right now, we let matter into a year's time If not actually we let matter in any year's time because right now Sister Things are going on as normal Why life must move on So will this thing that is making you disappointed matter in two weeks time in one man in one year in two years time If not dust yourself off and move on life is too much There's too much to life that you can limit yourself to only one dimension I've seen people they do not don't have one skill have many skills today If you're not a presenter here We end up shall go lima mboga lima mboga was here what Farming is paying if you're not farming composer song do something you can be a script writer You can be a poem writer. You can I mean there are many things that you can do There are many things that you can do so If option a does not work move to option b if this one is not working go to c and b You have not exhausted at them all when we were in primary school I used to hear people say Men are not like the disciples of jesus There are many So do not limit yourself to only one option especially these young girls that are dating olive and young men And you feel like I can imagine now my word has come to an end. I mean it's not over There so you only tested one option go to the other one and the other one and the other one It's not possible that all of them will dump you unless you are the problem. Okay That's a good place to end it and thank you very much for where can people get you on your social if they want to Wish you this is a camera. Thank you. Uh, I have a youtube channel Zipora one yeki you can just go there and subscribe you'll get more materials on facebook ZP one yeki The other time we got numerals calls numerals post we've been able to help people online by the way Yeah, your show is being watched a lot. I have several people that I am canceling courtesy of this show Other than that At twitter I am one yeki one Zipora. So you can reach me there.  You're doing very well. So we want to let you know that it is not wazimu You know people think you're seeing a counselor because Una cheesy. That's what people think is not about that. It is all about being the wellness the total wellness around you. So Committing suicide is actually not a solution to your problems It is only a beginning of another problem because think about this person who commits suicide You've left your people morning. You've left them with the cases to answer with what? With with bills the hospital the mortuary the barrier bills Another person becomes depressed from your case now if they decide to also follow suit It means now in future your generation will be over So committing suicide is not should be far from any person as long as you can see a therapist as long as I mean Talk out your issues Mental health is all about speaking. It is a problem spoken shared is halfway solved We may not come in with all the solutions because by the end of the day the solutions lies within you But we help you navigate your problems your issues in life So mental health is very important. It is good that we keep on checking ourselves And even the friends that are around us check how well they are doing You notice this friend who used to be outgoing and is no longer outgoing Please find out reach out to these people. You never know. Sometimes I had a story of someone who was found dead in the house Four days later. So does it mean this person didn't have a close friend? So let us try to reach out to people Let us try to encourage and when you find someone who's struggling with that refer them to churches in churches They are counselors pastors can also assist in that area. And when they notice that this case requires a counselor They will give them to us. Okay amazing. Thank you very much Zipporo once again. You're welcome That has been Zipporo and Niki our counselor talking to us about dealing with disappointment how to go about it I'm sure you've taken something from it Life is 99% of how you react to the problems that you face and being a mental Awareness month make sure that you check on your friends reach out to that one friend who has changed their habits And just to make sure that they are doing well This has been strength of a woman more is coming your way So stick with us because Val is coming with wcw. We take a short break. We'll be right back


Welcome to Mustang Sports Network on Demand, Paul Taylor with Med Soccer head coach Andrew Bordelon after the Mustangs fall to Hood 4 to nothing. Coach, tough game out there today. Is this a game where you just, you don't even watch the tape, you just move on or are you still trying something to learn from it? I think that is, that's still so fresh in my head. I don't know that I'd really know how to answer that. I will go back and watch the film. There's always stuff to learn from. It is going to be hard to watch and it's one of those things that, you know, we didn't come to play and it was, it was really, really poor all around. But we got to continue to grind and continue to learn. Tringale again, you know, tough, tough game because he was under pressure the whole game, but still had some really nice days I thought. Yeah. Yeah, he did. Um, you know, then you look at it too, you know, it's a tough game, but it is only one game still a lot of time left in this season. Yeah, you know, like I said, we're one in one in conference. It's a game that we needed really, really badly that puts them in a great spot. We're two games down in our conference. We're one in one. So we got to, we don't have time to hang our head. All right. Go get them against Albright. We'll see you next time. Thank you. I appreciate it. For coach, I'm Paul Taylor. This has been Mustang Sports Network On Demand.


So and such, the difference is in usage. Do you confuse the two words so and such? This article will explain the differences clearly with helpful examples. To learn this English grammar, let's look at the meaning of so and such. So plus adjective or adverb, means very, extremely or to some high degree or level. For example, Sally is so nice, I really like talking to her. Such plus adjective phrase, used to show a high level of importance. For example, Sally is such a nice person, I really like talking to her. Other uses. So can be used with the determiners much, many, little, and few, to make these words stronger. In English grammar, a determiner is a word that comes before a noun, to show how the noun is being used. For example. Bill has so much responsibility at work. I feel bad for him, he works overtime every day. He has so little free time.


Howdy. Any question? Yeah? What's on the ratio that you said that's only like equal to like 0.3 around that area? You ever take a little bit? Yeah. Yeah, if you look in the back of the book, that's just what's shown. Also, of course, notice that for SI English units, there is no difference. Because there is really no units left for strain anyway. And this is strain divided by strain. In fact, that's where we're picking up then, again, right now. What's on the ratio? We just defined that on Tuesday. What was the symbol for it? I think it's, no, it's probably not new. If I remember now, no is like that. Well, whatever it is. It's boo. That's what it is. It's boo. Defined as, do we, you got it? You're looking at it? Lateral strain. If we give some definition to it in terms of direction. We had a pipe that we looked at. And if we just give it some axial direction. That was the direction of the force being applied. It can be, again, tension or compression. And then the transverse directions. Or it might even be easier if we do it more like this. If we look at a cylindrical solid that is stressed. In fact, we did this problem. And then when it elongates. Now we have an axial stress, sorry, strain, defined in the usual way. And then a transverse strain would lay all in some, so this would be del x, this is length x. This then would be del in the radial direction. And that just emphasizes the way we're looking at most of our materials. That there is no preferred orientation for the radial direction. This implies that maybe the strain in the y direction is different than that in the x direction. Sorry, the strain in the y direction might be different than that strain in the z direction. Which could be the case. There are materials where we would need to define a Poisson's ratio for the y direction that would be different than that for the z direction. We're not going to look at those materials. That's for advanced mechanics of materials. And beyond what we want to work with. So maybe if we just put this as a strain in the radial direction, then it reminds us that it doesn't matter what that radial direction is. It could be in any direction around there. A little different than might be implied here. We were going to say for our class that any strain in the y direction is the same as the strain in the z direction. Remember what I called a solid that does such a thing? Isotropic. Most of our materials will be such. What is the big material that we're familiar with where there might be preferred directions? Especially since if any of you buy lumber, and you know the growth rings, if you buy lumber you can buy it taken from a particular part of the wood. You might hear a Poisson lumber and that type of thing. Because wood taken from one section is going to be different than wood taken from a different section. Because it does have directional properties there. It's especially true in wood. If you look down the length of it, it's very rare that wood is cut such that the grain goes across the piece. Because then it's very weak for its usual purpose, which is a structural material. The grain in wood is almost always run down the piece. And the purpose of plywood is to even overcome that directional bias. Plywood is different layers with the grain running in one way in a very thin sheet. Then another sheet is glued over that has the grain running in a different way. And then another sheet is glued over and they can put even other directions. You do multiple layers of that in plywood with all those grain layers in different directions. In plywood it really doesn't matter what direction. You lay the piece into its purpose when you install it because it's got no directional bias to it because of the grain in the wood. So we're going to look at isotropic materials, ones that have no particular directional bias. If you get into this in advanced studies and even you can imagine the things that are now done with carbon fiber where laying down the fabric in the particular directions greatly enhances the ability of the structure to absorb particular stresses. A great example of that nowadays is in bicycles where almost all the high-end bicycles now are carbon fiber with the bias of the fiber fabric itself laid down in particular ways, in particular parts of the bicycle to absorb the different strains and stresses and all the different types of uses of the bicycle. So we'll revisit right here just to kind of get us going again a problem we did look at, I believe last week it was just like this cylindrical piece here. I'll even give you the same numbers. We're just going to take it a little bit farther. The original length was 500 millimeters and a diameter 16 millimeters. Everybody will know what OD means, you know what? Outside diameter. That's not a concern with a solid cylindrical piece like we have here because there is no inside diameter but very shortly we're going to be looking at tubular materials and we'll have an outside and an inside diameter and it'll be important to us which is which. And then we put that under some kind of axial load and it caused it to, of course that's greatly exaggerated, caused it to react in that way. And we had an axial elongation of 300 micrometers, radial minus 2.4 micrometers. We did this very problem last week.  We did this very problem and actually came up with these different stresses in a different direction. Sorry, there's different strains. So you can either thumb back and find that or calculate it in about three seconds anyway. But from this we can get two other things now that we didn't have before. So now we can find Poisson's ratio. We can even determine what Young's modulus is from this test. So do both of those.  It's going to set you back a couple hours. Bob's question is what's the micro stand for? Help them out. Ten to the negative six. Ten to the negative six. The way I remember that Bob is that if I see a micro I remember it means ten to the minus six. That's how I remember it. This is a little help to you there. Go to the library. Yeah, because a lot of times somebody will get up and go to the bathroom and leave their calculator sitting there and then you just take it. Oh, I don't condone that. Do you have one just didn't bring it? Yeah, no, it's all right with those developments. And over there is it. Oh, by the way, I think we have a test coming up next week. First exam for, yeah, Tuesday for these first three chapters. So it'll be up through push-on ratio. I don't think we'll, I'm across much new on Monday. For you new guys, my tests are open, both open notes. Since it's only a one hour class sometimes it's tough to give you enough time. So what I will typically do, does anybody have a class right after this? Because what I've done before when somebody did one, we only had one hour but then there was a test after this I'd give usually two in class problems and a take home problem to do. Would you rather just sit and work for a little extra time on Tuesday or have two in class and one take home? There's one vote take home. I think you said in class. Did you just threaten him? Do you want to? So you say in class, you say take home. Preference, two in class, three in class, four in class, wishy-washy. Four, actually the wishy-washy came close. Wishy-washy is a stronger vote voting block than you were. All right, so we'll do in class. By that I mean maybe 20 minutes extra. I would hope you wouldn't need more than that. I'm not trying to trick you on that. He's just trying to see the basics of what we're doing so we can keep going. What comes up next depends, of course, on a lot of this stuff. I don't know what we've been doing over it. All right, you had those from last week, I hope. If not, they're pretty easy to come up with again. I think TJ, you were the only one who wasn't here. What we get for the axial is just the 300 micrometers divided by the original length. Watch your units a little bit. Remember what units specifically we used on that problem last week? Remember there were thousands of choices. 600 micros is left okay. I think even radians is tacked on some of those sometimes. I don't know how much sense that makes. It's not an angular measurement. Lots of different choices. And for the radial strain, the change regional dimension, this is exactly as we had last week. Same units. Anybody get something different than that? Usually what I'll probably do on a test if you have to come up with these, which you could expect it might be likely, I'll give you particular units for two reasons. One is just to make sure you can handle the conversions because there's a lot of different possibilities here. And when you get to working in some place if you're working in this, they're not going to ask you to give it to, to do it in any units you feel like. You're going to have to give it to the units that are standard in whatever company you're working in. That way when you communicate with somebody else, they all, you all agree on what you're talking about. Also makes it a little easier for me to grade and we're always interested in something that makes things easier for me. Anybody have Poisson's ratio? Point who? Point two five. Right in the order of what we're looking for. The main thing you have to do is watch your units. If they're the same top and bottom, then there's no worry. Oh wait, isn't it minus point two five? That's just why we have the absolute value here on the term. Remember getting the habit of putting a zero in front of your decimal place. It's just the professional way this is done. I won't take off for it. It's just, it's one of those little things I try to give you to keep your, there's just a lot of little tricks and traps and pitfalls that can happen to you as a working engineer and I'm hoping you're going to devoid some of them. That's one of them. Getting the habit of putting in that lead zero. Wouldn't be a trouble here because anybody working with this would know that Poisson's ratio of 25 doesn't make any sense. Figure was point two five. But getting the habit of doing that itself anyway. Anybody find Young's modulus? If so, how? Find the stress they just got. That would be, well I gave it, yeah I didn't write it up here but did give you that low previous, previous problem a couple weeks ago or two weeks ago I guess, I did this problem. This kind of thing could be used I guess as an aid in trying to identify an unknown material thing that's done forensically. Give it to me if you would please in units of gigapascals. Do I have a calculator either? No, nothing. You should have a leather, you know a holster for it. I mean your engineering students, we used to have to carry slide rules like that. We could handle it. You know it's at home on my desk. You didn't forget your half gallon of blue drink. DJ's got both calculator and his morning drink. There's no try. Dewey's got calculator and two morning drinks. I don't know what is, there's something about this side of the room over here. Yeah, yeah. When you forget here you got it. I found, I remember finding the joys of circular calculators because they can be made pocket size and you don't have to run out the end of the slide rule and change the calculator. Well you don't even know what I'm talking about. So slide rules are great. It's one of those skills that all the old engineers would say, oh kids these days should have done it the way we did. Got it? What did you check with? You don't have calculator. I do have slide rule in my office but that helped. Actually I've got my grandfathers. In order to increase the significant figures the only thing you could do is just make slide rules bigger and bigger and bigger. I've got my grandfathers. It was about this long and had a magnifying glass over the hairline so we could read it even more, even more precisely and add more significant figures to it.  I'll go get it and show it to you. And a gold embossed case. It brings tears to my eyes. Double sided. It's got signs, cosines, square roots, cube roots. It's got everything. More than you'd ever possibly use on here. I'm sure there are calculator games. I don't know what they were. My grandfather received the first master's degree awarded by Caltech in 19. What do you got? You got a calculator. What did you get? In gigapascal. What was 100? You can get that. You got something different. Let's check. Let's check. Did you do the stress separately? No trouble other than it's killing it. Area is sometimes trouble here for students. What do you use for area? R squared, I hope. But we've got, remember, the original diameter over 4d squared. There we go. So we're automatically in Pascale's, Pascale's a Newton per meter squared. Those numbers look okay. The stress out separately. You don't have to, certainly. You can put the values into here. Sometimes it just works better going from a larger problem to two smaller ones is all. 0.49? Scowls over here, including some me. You got what? 59.68 times 10 out of 6. But I got 59.7 and then what? Positive 6. We have negative, couple negative things on the bottom. And that's in Pascale's. So that's 59.7 mega Pascale's. We now have 59.7 Pascale's. Divided by the strain in the axial direction, because we're looking at the axial stress. Those have got to match. 600 times 10 to the minus 6. Micros. Those cancel then, the 10 to the 6. Cancels the 10 to the minus 6. Yeah, I hope not.  So we have 1 tenth. That's 10 to the 12th. What's a gigapascale? 10 to the ninth. So if we move this over on 3 Pascale's, then what's a gigapascale? So does that look about what you got? Not a lot of precision required in these numbers. So 99.97 is kind of a wasted effort and ink. Like remember, we're going to build a big factor of safety on there anyway, usually, if you were actually in the design of this. So don't belabor the point with a lot of details, especially if you haven't. Slide rule, which automatically takes care of significant figures as you go.  You guys can read it. Through that calculation, do you have to have the stress in the microbes? Because if you had a... It's just like no units. If you take off the microbes, it's 600 times 10 to the minus 6th meters per meters or inches per inches. Okay. Yeah, if you don't change it back to this. Percent is kind of like a unit itself. If you put percent, if this value in the terms of percent, then you've got Pascals per percent, technically. Generally, I think on these things, if you convert down to the base unit as you go, you generally have a little bit less trouble. Once down to the base units, take it all the way through, and then once back up to the requested units, you're generally okay. Or if I don't specify, or if you go to work in this field and it's not specified, you can leave it like this. It's not wrong. But as you can see, we got a lot of changing back and forth from very small to very big units. And that's not going to change. There's times when we'll have very normal numbers, but there'll be a lot of times when we're working with very small and very big units. All right, so here's a nice new problem for you. I have a beam here of three meters in length. Stencil right on the side of it, how big it is there. Supported by two cylindrical posts. Looks like grass, doesn't it? It's a bit out of my green chalk. That would really help. Notice the two posts are not the same length. Slightly different lengths on those. Remember what we're looking at lately has a lot to do with 220 millimeters. This one's 210 millimeters in length. Exactly right there. Of course, he's drawing to the scale. Both of them have the same diameter. Paid out of 14, 6 aluminum. We're throwing numbers around like that. You know, you're in Starbucks or something. Just drop that. You've been working with them. The girls love it. Doobie, you're married to it. Awesome stuff. Doobie's now thinking, God, I wish I was single just to hear that kind of phrase. Start throwing this stuff around. It's a big deal. All right, so there we go. We'll label this one this side over here, A. And that's I, B. How does that work for a creative part of this class? The problem you've already checked is 2014 T6 aluminum in there. So you might need some of those numbers. Otherwise, well, maybe I'd throw that in as red herring. It would have been a red herring in statics when we didn't need that type of thing. But in this class, we're finally talking about real engineering materials and how we're going to use them. All right, an 80 kilonewton load is placed on there. Perhaps a generator or an engine or something put there at some unknown spot. Remember, for right now, we're not allowing the beams in any of these problems to bend. They will shortly here in class. But for right now, consider that the beam AB itself is rigid. Once loaded like this, the beam, however, will displace down a little bit. I want you to find two things. Find X. You're going to need that anyway. I also want you to find the diameter of A after it's loaded. After the 80 kilonewton is placed there, such that the beam remains horizontal. You either want to tip one way or the other. Remember, once this is compressed, it's going to cause the leg A to bulge out a little bit. We'll assume it's uniform along the length. Hopefully because you'll add that onto the original diameter of 30 millimeters to get the loaded diameter. You're going to have to find del. Take out a little map for ourselves here. You've got to find DA. That's going to come from finding del in the radial direction. That can come from the strain in the radial direction. Where can that come from? This Poisson's ratio. Where can that come from? Nothing. Just look up this and go from there and finish up. What are you going to do with it though? We want to pull this out of Poisson's ratio. We're going to need the strain in the other direction to pull this out. We're going to need the strain in the X direction, the change in length in the X direction. Where will that come from? The requirement that this load be kept, or the beam be kept level. A partial solution. Especially in here, Jake, you were saying something about the elasticity. The elasticity and the stress. The stress is going to come from the load that that post is bearing and that's going to come from the static view. What about the coffee pot over there? If you have it all set up, I'm happy to turn it on for you. So by the time you get in here, it's all done. Buy the coffee then. The last time students fired it up. Endurable fat. Maybe on a day that has a little more downhill to it. This one is still a little upheld. I did the solution maps with health. I know that a lot of times when I look at it, even still, I look at sample problems or solutions in a book. How are the students supposed to know that's what you do? They always put in this first step and they don't say how they know that was the first step to take. So I've had this idea that solution map would help, but I don't know how to show it. I haven't come up with a good form of solution map. This is kind of okay. There's a flow chart. I'm going to do both until it joins. I'm going to do some pieces of this at the same time. If I find the reactions, then I have to go change your grade from last fall in statics. The placement of the load x to find the reactions. You need to find at least the reaction F A to find the stress. Use that with the Young's modulus to find the strain. You don't need to find all three. You still need three equations to find the one we know or the one we need. So what was one of the equations? The forces have got a sum to zero. Very permanent loners. I can thrive right with it. At least know what the other two equations are. You're going to need this load F A, the placement to make sure that the beam stays level. So what are the three equations? Some of the moments. Some of the moments about B. We don't need B. We do need A. So that would certainly help. But what's the third equation? The equation to find that. Dell is not going to be part of it. The deformation. This is just pure statics. What we already summed the moments about B is summing the moments about A an independent equation. Remember when you need three equations, they have to be independent equations dependent to sum the moments about some other place on the same problem. So sum the moments about A or sum them about P or you can even do it about any other place. It doesn't matter. You just have to do it about some other place. It's just as easy as any. And you should be able then to find the load in F A or the reaction F A.


If you don't know about me, I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement, I found my success. Earned a college scholarship, played for my national football team, a YouTube channel with over 100 million views, I've helped players worldwide, and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more. In this video, I want to give you some helpful moves that you can use as a midfielder in the middle of the pitch. So first I need to start by saying that as a midfielder, usually your best move is not using skills or taking lots of touches. It's simply getting the ball out of your feet and playing a pass to a teammate. So you need to realize that your job as a midfielder isn't to do all these tricks in the middle of the field. Yes, sometimes you will need to use those, and I'll give you ideas on when to do that. But you want to realize that your job is to create chances to feed your teammates and to keep possession of the ball. So if you're in the midfield, let's say you're playing central midfield and you're taking 10 touches on the ball, you're doing lots of tricks and you try to beat a player and you lose it in the middle of the midfield. This is very dangerous. If you do that out on the wing, well, we have probably nine players behind the ball. It's out wide. It's not right in the center, so it's not as big of a deal. If you do it as a striker trying to beat the last defender, we have 10 players behind the ball. But if you do that as a midfielder, defensive midfielder, central midfielder, even a wide midfielder, but in your own area in the middle third of the field and you lose possession of the ball. Well, that puts your team in a very dangerous position. Now, I'm not trying to scare you from doing moves. I just want you to realize that the best move is usually getting the ball out of your feet and playing a firm pass to a teammate. So pass or move number one is just play the pass. Now, when I am going to do some moves in the midfield, it's usually more about keeping possession rather than actually beating the player. So first of all, even before I receive the ball, I want to be aware of where the defender is. So if I'm receiving the ball as a midfielder here playing the pass and I'm receiving it here, as I always talk about in my videos, you want to get the space for yourself. So I'm not creating that space for myself. I didn't even know where he was. He could have snuck up on me. He could have came in front of me and won the ball. So instead, I want to be aware of where he is. OK, I know he's here. I know the pass is coming eventually. I want to find a little bit of space so I can receive it here. And now if I have to go at him, I can go at him or I'm just going to have a better percentage of keeping the ball, a better chance of keeping the ball. So find your space. Now, as I talked about, yes, play the ball. Let's say you're trying to dribble into space. Now, when you get the ball, obviously, again, you don't want to freeze. So you don't want to stop the ball dead. You want to keep that ball moving. And sometimes that's just changed direction. But it's better to keep moving, changing direction than to just stay still to freeze and to not really know what to do. So as soon as you have that ball, your feet, you're either getting out of your feet, playing a pass or you're keeping it moving, making yourself more difficult to tackle. Now, let's come back to some of these moves that I usually use in the midfield. So I receive that pass and let's say I want to go into this space, but he closed me down. OK, one of the best moves that you can use is just a turn. So let's say it didn't work out. OK, keep your body between the defender and the ball. But just turning is going to create some space for yourself. So you can play a pass. Play the ball again. So what you don't want to do when you're turning like that is instead of, as you can see, I'm turning with my back to the defender. But if I'm turning like this in front of him, OK, yes, I can still beat him. And yes, if I have good skills and I'm sharp with my change of direction, I can beat him. But I'm risking losing it here by showing him the ball. So I'm saying change direction. But if you're changing direction here, you're giving him a chance to put in a foot and make a tackle. So what I want to do instead, if I've asked one more time, please. Find your space. OK, I'm turning my body between the ball, creating space. And you'll find, start doing this when you're playing quick turns. It's going to be tough for the defender to get to the ball. Another few moves you can use are things like this. So again, it's about protecting the ball. So I do something like that. Now, again, I don't want to show him that ball too much. So I'm keeping it away from him to create space. So pulling it away, getting stuck on your foot. Pulling away to create space to play a pass. One more time. So other things might be just something like that. A little change of direction. OK, pulling it away from the defender. Again, I don't want to pull like this, cross him.  I'm pulling it away so that I can play the pass. So let's talk about if you do want to make a move. Because sometimes, let's say you're on a break. You just receive the ball, your team is breaking out. If you beat one guy, well, now it might open up everything for your team. You're in a dangerous position where you can play that through ball, play that forward pass and hurt the other team. So usually, I'll keep it very simple. But especially when someone's rushing at you, a quick step over in the midfield will create a lot of space. Just think about being quick and precise with your movements. So play me again. So if I get in here and again, I take too many touches, I may be able to get out of it, but you're not giving your coach a good time. You're not giving your teammates a good time. And you're potentially going to lose that ball, which again will result in a chance for the other team. So when you're in these situations, think about one quick move and then explode away. So play again, find space, okay? And sometimes the best move, I always say, just to change a pace, change a direction. So think about those things, play again. Sometimes the best move is just a pass, getting yourself turned, finding space, not receiving it right here if you don't have to. You know that ball's coming. You should already be moving, anticipating, okay, you know what's here. Boom, we can play like that. When you are dribbling, think about protecting the ball. If you are doing these little moves to protect the ball, think about pulling away, creating space, so you can play your pass. And finally, I'll grab this one here. When you are making a move in the midfield, one quick move. If you like this content, check out the Soccer Success Planner. You can download it for free. There's a link in the description below.
