Hi, Lisa. Thank you so much for being here today. I'm really looking forward to our conversation. Thanks, George. I'm so happy to be here. Great. So let me just share with the audience what your bio is and we're going to get into it. So first of all, hello, everybody. Today we're going to be talking about a great topic that I think a lot of you are going to benefit from, which is how do we show up, like for example, on video, even though we might be fearful of it. Even though we might be shy about showing ourselves and being present in public speaking, but also on video. So this is what we're going to talk about today. It's going to be really helpful. So let me first share with you Lisa's bio and then we're going to get into the conversation. So Liesl Teversham helps sensitive souls and introverts who don't like the spotlight yet need to be more visible, to feel safe to be seen. She helps them to work through the blocks and fears that stop them and find and embrace their true authentic strengths. Two of her favorite tools are EFT tapping, which probably a lot of you have heard of, and another one called Clifton Strengths. And these provide a very strong foundation for any introvert who wants to make a difference in the world in their unique and quiet way. I love your bio, Liesl, because it just, it's very extremely clear and I bet a lot of those watching this are, you know, raising their hand. Maybe she can shyly say, yes, I do want to be more visible, but I've been fearful about it. I've been blocked. I don't want to get criticized. I mean, you've heard it all. And also as an introvert, you have experienced it all and you've obviously done a lot of work to overcome it. I mean, so you're here. You also do videos, you do webinars, etc. So let's get into it by first talking about where this visibility fear comes from. Yeah, George, thanks so much for that lovely intro and I exactly that. That's exactly why I understand it so well because it was my own journey and I want to start off with empathy for anybody who is still battling with this. So I'm just going to show you my screen. I've got a little, a few slides that will help us to just keep track visible. Can you see it all well? Yes. Okay, perfect. So that little cat is just so I think how many introverts feels like I'm willing to show this board, but not the rest of me and it starts feeling too scary to show up. And so I want to just help us to understand a little bit of the background. If we think of how children learn to survive in life and they, for instance, come across a red hot stove plate and they try it out. Children have to learn by trying things out before they even know language. They try things out so they may put their finger on a very hot stove plate and it's going to burn. And it's that painful learning that teaches the nervous system. Don't go near a stove plate again. It isn't good for you. It's going to hurt. So it gets written in a part of the brain called the limbic system. And that's why I've got that little brain picture there. I don't know if you'll be able to see my mouse, but there's a little part called the amygdala right there. It's part of the limbic system. And it's in the amygdala that we store emotions, particularly anger and fear. And those two are the emotions that help us to fight. Anger helps us to fight a bear. If we're going to be the dinner of the bear, we want to fight or we're going to run away. And that's the fear that helps us to do that.  It's going to hurt and it gets written in the amygdala. So when they see a stove plate again, there has to be no conscious thinking about it. That's too late. It's the instant response of that part of the brain that sends the signals to the nervous system to say, stop, don't even try. Children don't one day wake up or let's say teenagers or adults don't one day just randomly wake them to go, I'm afraid of the spotlight now. There are things that happened in their lives that's similar to these painful learnings that we have as children that taught the nervous system it's not safe for you to be seen or to show up. So that's the kind of just, you know, comparing it to how we learn as children. We keep learning this way as adults too. The learning doesn't stop for us. So there are many of these type of events that happen to us as children that either teach us it's okay to be seen. I can be seen and I'll still be safe or don't even try again because it was painful. Something painful happened in an event in our childhood. So I just want to go through a few things around this survival learning because, you know, we know, for instance, George, you teach courses and when somebody is in a happy state, they learn the best. So how come we learn through this painful way as well is this painful way of learning usually teaches our nervous system to survive. It's not optimal learning. I'm talking about learning for survival on earth, you know, in our human body. So when these, for instance, something happens to us in childhood, there's no threat. We have neutral feelings about it. There's virtually no learning. You know, there's hundreds of millions of things that happened to us as a child that we can't remember because it didn't have a particular strong emotional signature to it. Memory gets stored together with emotion. So the ones that have a big emotion, we can easily recall. When there's a threat that happens in an event, a threat to our survival, we have strong feelings about it like fear, anger, humiliation, embarrassment, shame, guilt, those kind of things. We use those learnings to survive. Our nervous system knows now when something is like that. Don't do that again. It's uncomfortable. So try and avoid it. I just want to say a few words about trauma. People talk a lot about trauma these days. It's much more raised in our awareness. So what is a trauma? It's when this little word eudon, it's just a short, what it like a abbreviation. Yes. Yes. For these four words, it stands for a trauma is when there's an unexpected event that is dramatic, like big emotion where we feel, where we feel isolated. That's the eye. And when there is no strategies for survival, we don't know how to, what to do with that thing. So like a child touching a stove may not be that dramatic because his parent may be there. You know, he has a strategy. You can pull his finger away. So trauma is when we feel helpless in that situation.   For instance, when we've had a serious car accident or we actually, you know, we have a serious illness or there's a crime that is committed and we're receiving inner that crime. That is a big tea trauma where our life was actually threatened. Those are almost in a way with my tools, sort of easier to clear than the small tea traumas. That's very interesting. The small tea traumas and when there's no real threat, but there's a perceived threat to our safety in the world. And it's these things that I most often work with George. It's the things that can happen over and over and over. For instance, a dad that used to be just very irritable, angry because he hated his work, came home, you know, and then sort of almost took it out on the family. So those are the kind of things that it's not a real threat. You know, you're not going to die, but the nervous system interprets it as unsafe perhaps to show up. You know, I need to avoid this dad because whenever I see him, it's not safe. I'm going to be shouted at or angry words. So an example of that is also just, for instance, when you stand up in clothes and you need to do a speech and you forget your words. That's a small tea trauma. But now many of the introverts I've worked with have something like that happen. And that extreme embarrassment and emulation makes a little score in that in McDellar that says, you know, don't show up, look at what happened last time, it's not going to be safe. So it's just all about survival, this kind of learning. And we instantly and unconsciously give that event meaning when it has this huge emotional response in our body. Inside of our brain, something happens that says that thing is not safe, that type of situation is not safe. Or we give it a meaning like, that means I'm not good enough. Or, you know, in other words, we give it a, there is a belief that gets born in that moment of big emotion. That's where what we call limiting beliefs come from. Now, beliefs don't have to be limiting. I mean, if a child touches a stove and he learns from that a stove is not safe or a red hot plate is not safe. That's an absolutely serving belief, right? That's a good belief to have. It's not limiting. But if he made the internal event mean don't ever go in a kitchen again. That's not going to be a belief that's going to serve him for the rest of his life. So we want to work with these traumatic events and clear them that gave us beliefs that are not serving us. For instance, I can't be visible at all. I must hide at all costs. So that's how beliefs start. And I just want to give a little personal example, George, of when I was 14. So what's this emotion do you think on this little picture? What is this guy's feeling? Well, it looks like embarrassment, right? Blushing. Exactly, George. So I'm just going to stop sharing my screen for a moment and just share a little story that happened to me at age 14.  That I practiced and practiced and practiced the previous day and it was like two minutes and I could say it word for word the previous day. I felt really good. So I didn't take my notes with me the next day. Got up in front of the class and went confidently to the front, standing there looking at 30 eyes, expectantly waiting for me to start and I forgot everything. And because it was a learned speech, if I didn't know the start of it, I couldn't continue. So I couldn't get up somewhere in the middle. It was not a talk, it was a speech. So standing there in front of that class was 30 eyes looking at me, waiting for me to say something was mortifying. I can remember the red, it's like red is a lobster. And like a two minute silence where a pin could drop and eventually the teacher said to me, go and sit down and let's give it another go tomorrow. So of course the next day I went with my notes. But that kind of event gets written in the subconscious mind, the amygdala that says it's not safe to be seen. It's really a terrible thing. So just stay away from that kind of thing. So for years and years and it sometimes all happens, I go blood red when suddenly I feel all these eyes on me. And that's how we're not aware of most of the people I work with. When we find these events, they just not aware what has caused it. So how can you deal with it if you don't know where it comes from. So that's just a really personal example that I hope illustrates how something like this can happen. Thank you for sharing that because probably many of us have had that experience. Certainly I probably have blocked it out because I've had so many experiences. When I was a kid I learned classical piano and one of the things that we do in that kind of situation is we have recitals, music recitals, where, you know, talk about learning your speech.  It's like you have to learn every single note has to be exactly right.  No, you have to play this. And so I have had so many traumatic music recital experiences in my life. It's like everybody came to watch a concert performance with all of us. And then I'm up there and I'm like making mistakes and the teacher came up to like, you know, like angrily correct me. And it's like, that was horrifying. That was horrifying. So I, and I've also had public speaking disaster experiences to just so, so thank you for sharing yours because I bet a lot of us can imagine that. Yeah, exactly, George. I had that same experience because I had music as my first career and so many. And so what happens is kind of these events build on each other to make it more and more unsafe. Every time you have another one of these experiences, your nervous system goes, well, I told you last time, don't even try. And it makes it more and more, you know, the heart beats, adrenaline, the cortisol, all of those things in your, and your voice starts quivering and your fingers can't possibly work when you've got all the, they tremble. So you're going to make more mistakes. So just the snowball of lovely events that people then wonder why can't I just show up, you know, and be myself when everybody is looking at me. Well, these things really big contribution. So I'm going to go back to my slides just to get to the next point. It's a very good thing to think about is like why are some people more fearful than others. Because not everybody has the same level of fear about visibility, right. So I'm just going to talk a little bit about each of them. So there's three main points that I want to mention is the one of them is we call them ACEs is how adverse childhood experiences. They found that people with adverse childhood experiences are more prone to develop PTSD later in life. Not everybody who was in a war or in a car accident or in something traumatic develops PTSD. Why is that? So they did the research and found that people with a certain number of ACEs are more prone to develop PTSD later because your nervous system as a child was already set up to feel unsafe in the world.  They are also things where a child feels unsafe because, for instance, a parent is very depressed or one of their family members was very sick. So everything revolves around that person. And this little child may just not have had the optimum environment to grow a resilient nervous system to put it that way. So the more ACE, you know, adverse childhood experiences you had, the more likely it is that these other small T traumas will influence you and give you more fears than other people would have. More anxiety, more concern, more fear. So that's one factor. Another factor is there's a lot of talk about it these days and maybe your listeners have heard about being an HSB highly sensitive person. And around, they found that around 25% of the population in any country globally have a sensitive nervous system that is more sensitive to things that come from the environment.  And also noise. Right there. Yes. Right. Actually, you know, I'll say my wife, now that you're describing these things, it's a very like, yeah, it's an HSPs. What's the difference between HSPs and introverts? Yeah, that's a really great question. And there is a lot of overlap. So an introvert recharges in silence or solitude. That's what they need. They don't necessarily have this high sensitivity to things that come from the environment. You know, they can recharge quickly. But an HSB for instance, just like their ears can hurt if there's a loud noise. Other things are, they might be more affected by things if they see abuse or they see an animal that's hurt or they just feel everything so much more sensitive. They can feel pain, they can feel pain more than other people. They're more sensitive to pain.  There's a great website where people can go and do a little quiz to find out if they are. So there's some definite overlaps, but not every introvert is an HSB and not every HSB is an introvert. So 25% of the population have this more sensitive nervous system. Now you can think for yourself that if you're an HSB and you experience the small T trauma as a child, it is going to affect you more than somebody with kind of a more resilient nervous system that doesn't take things so very, that doesn't feel things so strongly. So there's nothing wrong. It's not a mistake that 25% have a more sensitive nervous system. It's actually they've done research to find that it's also in the animal kingdom. It's also true and in the plant kingdom. And that those sensitive nervous systems help the species to survive because of everybody was more risk prone. They would be less, you know, there's less learning. So, less of the survival learning that we were talking about in the beginning. So these sensitive people like, oh, very quickly they go, not safe. You know, so, and that gets carried over in the next genes and the next genes to help the species to survive. So there's nothing wrong with you for an HSB. And I just want to show people this great book if they haven't come across it by Elaine Aron, the highly sensitive person with a lot of information in that book if they want to go and read up. And so that's the second factor. And then the third one was around. And I do think I need to look at my notes. The strengths. So as we grow older and develop, we each have strengths and we talked about the Clifton strengths a little bit. As we grow, we develop them stronger and stronger and stronger and some strengths are more risk prone and some strengths are more risk averse. So we need to just, it's very, very good for us to know whether or we can function better in a risk prone or a risk averse environment. And then it just like all of these things can start making sense and help us to understand ourselves instead of the judgment. So I think my next point is I just want to go through a few of the reasons that I've heard from many sensitive introverts about why do they feel so shy or reluctant to show up in the spotlight. And here is a little cute picture. There are sometimes as many reasons as there are people because we are all unique individuals and I absolutely go from that standpoint is we're not. If we're not the same, everybody's not the same. We didn't have the same background. We didn't have the same events. So we have many different reasons and for some people these combinations of these reasons and for others these like one or two that really stand out. And so some of the reasons are like the eyes on them. Like in my event, 30 pairs of eyes suddenly makes a brain freeze. It's that immaculate that is not safe and then all the blood flow goes away from the thinking brain to let's survive. I'm going to run or hide. Another one is introverts are pretty private. Usually they don't want to be visible and splash their lives all over the internet. So that can stop them from being more visible. Some are very, very afraid of judgment, humiliation, criticism, being called out. And you know, there can be really mean people sometimes who say really mean things on our posts and they're afraid of that because of both experiences. They can be afraid of arguments or very aggressive people because usually HSPs have a nervous system that feel that aggression coming to their space and they don't know what to do with that. So just that near aggression of people arguing with them or trying to prove them wrong can be really scary. Then there's comparisonitis where the extroverts do really, really great in this arena. They love the spotlight. They can do it easily and introverts compare themselves to that and shrink back even more. Like why can I not? So they judge and label themselves. And then the last one is introverts love their quiet recharge time. It's an accessory for them. In fact, it's not a luxury. And so when they become more visible, the theories is going to be more outside expectations to show up to help more people to just be out there all the time. So they fear that they're going to lose all of that precious time that they need in order to be their best selves. And on that one point I want to mention introverts probably have this fantasy because they don't understand marketing that it actually takes a lot more marketing to have that many inquiries that many comments and interest. Usually we show up and like nobody says anything, you know, especially when it comes to, you know, online types things. So introverts and sensitive folks just know that you have to do a lot more than you think. But which means actually I think it's a blessing in disguise because it allows us to practice. It's like, I think back to when I had a very small audience and my God, I got a lot of practice talking and writing and all these things. Before now, of course, now I show up, you know, there's a great quote by Seth Godin. It's like, now he can make, he now makes much bigger mistakes than he used to because he makes a mistake.  You know what I mean?  And then as we get more practice, our audience grows gradually. And it just kind of meets our skill level as we grow. So thanks for bringing that up. It's a fantastic point, George. I love that you did that because just before I wrote my first book, I had that same fear like, oh, you know, all this fame. I won't be able to handle it well. I'm still waiting. It's like, God, that were a problem. That'd be great. Exactly. That would be a magnificent problem. And you have more than enough money to pay for all the counseling you want. All the trauma relief. Exactly. So yes, I love that. It's like parents have a chance to get used to the idea of a baby because there's nine months of waiting and growth. It's the same for us. It's not going to happen overnight. Yes, we can get used to it and sort of grow our visibility muscles a little bit stronger with practice, with consistent practice. So the next piece that I just want to mention is how EFT helps. So why do I think EFT is actually a great tool to help us? Just going back to that amygdala there, and then we're going to talk about something called the tabletop. The thing is about these beliefs that I talked about in the beginning that can get formed in a traumatic or emotional event. The part of your brain that it is in does not respond to logic, reason, or logical language. Like saying to a person, George, I know that you know this as well, but saying to a person, calm down, or you're going to do fine. I know that you're petrified, but you're going to be so great that does not do one single thing for the nerves. It does just not help because the logical, reasonable part of us that can see that this is not really threatening. We're not going to die. The words doesn't go, it doesn't talk to that part of the brain, so it doesn't understand it. It's like you can talk, it's like talking Chinese to a French person. So what we need is a tool to calm down that amygdala, that part of your brain that says run or hide. And EFT is a great tool to do that. They found actually through research studies and there's a lot of research being done and peer reviewed studies. So EFT is being more and more sort of proven as a tool that when we think about a past event, it brings up all those same feelings, right? Now when we can do that and we do the tapping on these specific points, stress relief points, we actually sending calming signals to the amygdala at the same time so that that emotion calms down. And now we can think about the event and go, yeah, my goodness, it did happen. But because we've taken the sting out of that event, the charge, our brain doesn't have the same response to it anymore and that meaning starts disappearing. The meaning is the negative thing that we made it mean about myself or about life. So just a few words about that table that I had there. I want to explain it like it's a table. The table is or the table top is our belief. Say my belief is it's not safe to be visible or I get flack from people all the time. I can't voice my opinions in public. For instance, that's the table top. The legs that are keeping the table up are those particular events that happened in our life that contributed to that feeling like every time somebody did criticize me in public. Every time that I did forget my words. Every time that I sat there and played my piano piece and it didn't work out well and somebody had a smirk on their face and, you know, I just felt terrible. All of those events. What we do with EFT is we go in, clear out the emotional charge around that event. And as each table leg sort of falls, the table top can no longer stay in place. So that's how we work with EFT. And people also ask me, so why do we tap on the negative? You know, why don't you just tap on the positive? It's because the belief is there because of a negative, you know, it's not a negative event. It's just an event, but we gave it a negative meaning. So we have to bring up the charge in our body while we think about the difficult thing that happened to us so that we can clear it as we go with EFT. And it's not the words in EFT that does the work for us. It's the tapping. So if you tuned into the event on an emotional level and you do the tapping, you can do it wordlessly. And I just need to say the words, but the words are there to help us remind or to remind us of what we went through so that we can bring up those feelings and then clear it out with EFT. Does it make sense? Does it sound? Yes, yes, definitely. It's very helpful. Yeah, I think the table top thing is helpful because it's kind of like that, that negative behavior or that negative reaction is there. And then if we just remove the right, remove the supporting, then it's like, okay, the negative is actually it's an illusion. And it's kind of we resolve that. So thank you for helping us to see how that works. Yeah, George, thank you. And so I think the last thing that I just want to wrap up with is to say that the reason why we want to take care of those events just so that we have different options of acting in life and so it's not a knee jerk reaction, but we have more choice and more options to choose what we want to do with our days and not go with others have to hide. Yeah, beautiful. So those of you who are watching this, if you find found this fascinating and would like to do more with Lisa, Lisa, maybe share with us. You've got a program coming up, which I'm excited about. And many people in our master heart group is excited about Lisa as a member of our master heart group. So it's called safe to be seen. Is that right? That's right, George. Thank you so much. He is safe to be seen. And for a start, I'm going to offer it as a private consultations. And we will go and find those things that contributed to your feeling unsafe, reluctant to show up, not being wanting to be heard or seen in all those events and we clear them out. And the result of that is that you start feeling more safe and you can take different actions. So it's very exciting for me to be able to offer this in a program with a beautiful name that one of our other master heart members helped us to help me to come up with. Yeah, and you've been doing EFT tapping and coaching introverts and how do you sense the people for for years. I mean, so you have a lot of experience. We barely even mentioned the Clifton strengths, which is one of your other tools that I've experienced and found very helpful is to like Clifton strengths comes from Gallup research of, you know, the huge sample of people who they discovered, you know, the presence of strengths, but everybody only has certain top ones. And it's like once you once you understand what your top strengths are and maybe what your weaknesses are, you can really hone in on top strengths. That's another thing that we didn't get to talk about this interview, but I think we might have talked about in the previous interview, but anyway, it's it's one of your great tools as well. So how should people reach out to you. Thank you, George, they can go to my website savvy self growth dot com, or my email address is Liesl at savvy self growth dot com L I E S E L at savvy self growth dot com L I E S E L at savvy self growth dot com and that's the website savvy self growth dot com I'll be putting the link to that as well as the link to your Facebook page where you where you are generous with your content there and anything else you want any encouraging a note you want to say before we complete this interview. Yeah, I want to say that it is absolutely possible to keep us that fear. And it's a journey doesn't need to happen in a day like George said it can we can grow into it practice our muscles and I just want to give you that hope that absolutely a few years ago as petrified shy didn't want to show up on video and I'm still scared but I can do it. Yeah, you do very well. Thank you so much Liesl for your work and for this conversation. Thank you very much George. Thanks.


Any talk about simplicity or minimalism can't get away from the time dimension Because that's the dimension that really counts More than having open space in your living room It's having open time in your calendar in your life time to do the things that You really want to do Rather than having time be filled up with various Things that are kind of forcing themselves into your schedule So I like looking at this Time dimension the same way that a minimalist might look at a living room and you can think well, what's all this clutter doing here? Why do I need all this stuff? So minimalist time management Bringing everything down to the basics There's a lot of different strategies for how to get more done How to be more efficient with time? But we still have this very restrictive dimension. We still have the same number of hours. There's still So many more things than we that we can do that we could ever actually Do within the time available our 10 to 20,000 days, you know our Couple hundred thousand hours that we have and that's it so Along with all the other things you could say about becoming more efficient, you know increasing your your leverage by Outsourcing and all this kind of stuff Nothing replaces the most simple thing of all which is To simply not do the thing Just don't do it You don't need to do it Why are you doing it? Why do you need to do this thing? to be able to Reduce that to-do list down and simply cross items off.  This is not going to be a part of my life I will not achieve this particular goal. I will not complete this particular project and Simply being okay with removing it from the list That is not an easy cut to make But I find when I do that I suddenly have this Feeling of spaciousness this feeling of openness just like as if I had thrown out a bunch of clutter from my living room so as Part of this I find This the central thing that I they come back to is this idea that I Don't need to do anything. I Simply don't need to Instead of feeling that I'm always moving from one task to the next task I get this done and this done cross this off the list cross this off the list That can have its moments, too, but It's easy for the day to go by just completing a bunch of tasks that maybe don't really add up to what I'm looking for and it sometimes If I go on in this kind of robotic fashion for too long It just starts to feel pointless like why am I even completing these tasks? So I like to be able to just completely stop and say okay, I don't need to do anything and Then just go to a quiet place. I like to just sit in the living room here Maybe often look out that he's facing window there. Just look out the window have complete nothingness complete nothing to do and Just allow that to be just allow myself to do nothing you can go for a walk go to the park as If just not a care in the world and it is a feeling of great luxury to be able to even have that time but it's simply from being able to Not feel forced to do another task. I simply don't need to do it to allow myself to do nothing And then in that state I Find that something will occur to me is oh, I could do this to improve my situation Here's something that would actually make my life better Something comes to mind and then I can do that thing and I've done that thing go right back to that state of Doing nothing so having empty time as being the default default to doing nothing and then Only do things as I feel called to do them as the time Feels right and I can feel in that moment that this will improve my life Rather than simply robotically going through a to-do list of things That I felt at some point I should do that. I eventually just even forget how they're going to improve my life I just feel I should do them Said go back to that simple state of nothingness and start again from there So I enjoy this feeling. I'm curious to hear what you think of this method of time management and or is it just going to result in being really lazy and doing nothing and Is there another approach we can have to minimalist time management?


In this cave, by the restless sea, we are met to call from out the past stories, strange and weird. Bellkeeper, hold the bell, so all may know we are gathered again in the weird circle. The phantoms of a world gone by speak again the immortal tale, the strange judgment. Someone is on the trail below, now they are coming closer, pointing at my cave, here so high above the sea.  See now, just like the others, they are going back down the trail, like the village folk who go to the marketplace by another trail so as to avoid me. They will tell others about me, about the fearful old man in the cave above the sea with his little wooden cross, aesthetic old man with bloodshot eyes. They do not know the real reason I am here. At once many years ago, before I took a vow to do penance in this prison in the open air, I lived down there on the little islet near the salt marshes at Girand, lived with my wife Bruin and fished. Now only my niece Perot comes to me every morning, bringing me bread and talks to me. But I cannot answer, I can talk to no one, dare only to kiss her forehead. But then so long ago I had many friends, these shaggy hands do not show it, but I was strong then, and the muscles of my body were hard. I could fish with the best of them. Ah, that Pierre Compromis has the Devil's own luck. He left no sardines for us others. Can I help it that I know where fishes play, huh? Ah, look at your name. So? Compromis. Meaning the sea bends to your will. It's in our family. We know our trade. Oh, Devil's luck, I call it. Maybe. Oh, there is my wife.  Hello, my wife. Pierre, I've got good news for you. And I have something to tell you.  You look so happy, darling. I should be. We have made money, my sherry. We can afford a bigger vessel. Oh, please, no, Pierre. But the sardine fishery has brought us money. The boats we have are only small. With a bigger boat, I could go cod fishing. Don't know. You'd be away so long. I love you so much, Pierre. The days and nights are so long when you're at sea. Then I shall stop going for sardines. No, I don't want that. I know, I know. Cod fishing is too long to be away. I think so. Then I shall stick to the sardines and a little deep sea trade for the dealers, huh? Mm-hmm. Oh, that was a good haul, this trip. Let me see. Here, look at this account. With the house and the island, the boats, and now this new catch. Well, one more trip and we will be worth money. Much money. 12,000 lever, I should say. Good. Of course it is good. What woman in the village does... Oh, I mean because we'll need a little more now. Sherry, what do you mean? Remember how we talked about a little one? I remember. Oh, no. You mean... Mm-hmm. Bruin. Oh, you sweet one. Maybe it will be a son, eh? A son. Yes, a son. And we'll name him Jacques. And when he is old enough, we'll take him to the carnival. Yes, we'll take him to the carnival. That is enough candy for today, Jacques. No, no, papa. I want that peppermint paste. No, no, Jacques. Let him have it, papa. Bruin, you are spoiling your boy. Here, please. Let me have half a dozen peppermint sticks. That ought to satisfy. Gun.  Next year, the gun may be. Take the doll. No. I want gun. You see, Bruin, he has a will of his own, that boy. Oh, I'll buy that gun there, please. I'm afraid, Pierre. There it is, papa. In that window. What a beautiful bicycle. Pierre, but, mother, a boy of his age should have a bicycle. The others in the village have none? How now? Our Jacques is no ordinary boy. Here, this way. Step into the store with me. I will buy it for you now. Pierre, we're spoiling him. He's so young, and he wants so much. We're spoiling him dreadfully. Oh, he will outgrow it. He is only six. Wait until he is ten. He will not be spoiled when he is ten. Where is Jacques? Upstairs. Jacques? I sent him upstairs. Why, Bruin? He's been fighting again. He all but killed Montreux's son. Oh. Why do you weep, Bruin? They're saying in the village he put out who goes little girl's eye. Nonsense. In the village they will talk about anything. Oh, but he will be one for the girls, that Jacques. And all. Last week the fouls.  Such things make one bloodthirsty like a weasel. No, it is nothing, Bruin. Do not. We please. He is young. He is only ten. Wait until he grows older. He will be the perfect gentleman when he is fifteen. Wait and see. Come on, sit down to supper, Pierre. Ah, the stew. It smells good. Pierre. Where is Jacques, eh? I don't know. Geron, Navy or Savne. He's getting a little wild, Pierre. Oh, boy, a fifteen needs to be active. It is natural. Pierre, remember the time you walked twenty leagues to repay a prank the dealer had overpaid you? Yeah, that was a walk, eh? Why isn't Jacques like that? I don't... You mean, has our Jacques taken money? A little. I had a few coins and a jug in the cellar. Well, a young fellow needs money to carry on, I suppose. But that is not right. No, no, that is not right. Oh, he's still young. Maybe in a year or two he will be settled. Maybe he will not be so wild. Who knows? Maybe he will calm down. Bruin, what is it, Jerry? This table, it is strange what has happened to the other... Oh, Pierre! This furniture... I know, I know. All the furniture, it is not our stuff. What happened to it? Bruin, what happened to our furniture? Look in the wardrobes too and in the closet. The linens, they are done. They sheet everything. Where has this chair come from? The neighbors, they loaned it to me. You have traded our furniture? No, Pierre, no. Then what has become of it? I tried to stop him, he wouldn't listen to me. Jacques, eh? He sold it, didn't he? Didn't he? Answer me the one... Yes, I tried to stop him, but I couldn't. Where did he go? Where did he go? To the cafe in town, I think. But it's late, he should be back soon. Oh, Pierre, what should we do with him? I do not know. Imagine a youth of 17 selling his family's own furniture so that he make a rouse in a cafe. Maybe he isn't really bad. Maybe he just needs someone to talk to him. Jacques, is that you? Yes, it's me. Where have you been, Jacques? At the cafe. Is it your business to know?  All right, all right, make it quick. Jacques, listen to your father now. Son, you are old enough to make your own way. You mean work? And what is so wrong in earning your bread with your hands, eh? Ah, fishing. I cannot stand the smell. If one can handle the money that comes from fish, it is not too much to stand their smell, Jacques. Cameramays have always been men of the sea. It is not too much to ask of my son. Oh, maybe it is better if I go away. Jacques. No, son, that is not what we meant. It's just that times are getting a little harder. There's your uncle's family to think of. Joseph's wife is sick, and the little girl, Perot, needs a doctor's care. It all takes money. Well, let them pay their own way. Have a care, Jacques. It is true. One must be loyal to his kin, whatever. And I say I am closer than your brother. Charity begins at home. If you are giving any money, then why not give it to me? We're already half-poor from all your caring, son. Oh, say nothing of that, Sherry. But all you are asking of him is to lend a hand with the fishing. To earn the bread he eats and the money he spends. Well, you be quiet, woman. You have put my father up to this. Have a care, Jacques.  Well, if it had not been for her, nothing would have been said about the furniture. Meddling old woman, silence! No!  Get up, Jacques! His head is cut. Suppose you've killed him? 2 a.m. So late and I'm so tired. Rouen, is that you? Yes. Where are you? In bed. So dark. Have you been in Jacques's room? Yes. How is he now? A little better. That was a bad beating you gave him. He should not have spoken to you that way. I didn't mind, really. But it was unkind the way he spoke of Joseph and his family. A little perot. How's the mother, by the way? No better. I fear for her. It's bad. I'm so tired. Come to bed, Rouen. Yes, I will. Good night. Good night. Ah, the bed feels good tonight. Thief! Who is it? Who is it, I say? It's the candle, Pierre. Yes. Over that way. There. Jacques! Jacques! Jacques, what are you doing here? Why aren't you in bed, son? Answer me, Jacques. What are you doing in this room? Here. Put that in his hand. Stay where you are. Both of you. It looks like... Hold the light higher, Pierre. Yes. It's a knife! Jacques, what are you doing with that knife? Stand back. Don't come near me. Put down that knife. You would murder us in our beds! Stand back, I warn you! Give me the knife, Jacques.  I'll stab anybody! Anybody! Do you hear? Anybody! Oh, there you are. You're home early, Pierre. The fish are running poorly. Where have you been? At your brother's. Oh, how is his wife today? Worse. And little Perotte? She still needs nursing. Oh, I saw Joseph at the fishery on the way home. They need more money. They're running low. But what we have, we share.  Doctors and medicines for the sick. That always takes money. And Perotte, she's such a tiny thing and so helpless. I've fixed it so that later on she'll not be so bad off. What do you mean? In my mattress, I've sewed a Spanish doubloon wrapped in paper. I've written on the paper for Perotte so that there's no mistake as to who it is. Where is Jacques? On another spree. With what? I don't know. He asked me for money, but as you told me, I refused him another suntine. He must learn to work for what he gets. I would like to visit my brother's place before supper. Oh, look up here. What is this, Roy? Water for my flowers. This dry spell, you know. But must it stand in the doorway? Go along with your brothers. Supper in an hour. Oh, wait. Who is that coming up the path? Look through the window. Oh, it's Father Gabbo, the rector from Pirioc. I will let him in. I wonder why he comes now. Oh, good day, Father. Good day? I come with sad news, my friends. Sad news? Joseph's wife? The fever. It was too much for her. She passed away. Joseph will fish with me tomorrow. Is Sardine's running any better? Not yet. A break in the weather would be good. For my garden, too. It will be harder taking Joseph on this way. We'll manage. If Jacques would only lend a hand. More hands are needed in hard times. Every little catch helps. As long as there are fish for you to catch, we'll eat. But a man needs meat now and again. Is that you, Breuamp? Yes. Came down to the shore because I couldn't wait. I have something to tell you. I have something to tell you. Yeah. Look. Look at this paper. I found it floating at the shore. My handwriting. For Perotte, it says. You know then. The Spanish doubloon. Where is it? I don't know, Pierre. I looked for it this afternoon. I thought I'd take it to a safer place or give it to Perotte now when she needs it so much. But it was not in the mattress. Jacques. He found your hiding place. Where are you going? I'm going to the café to find Jacques. To see if he took the coin. Go up to the house, Breuamp. Go up and wait for me. Fleuran. Uh, have you seen my Saint Jacques? He is in there, in the billiard room. Has he paid his score yet? Yes. Let me see with what he has paid you. Certainly. Now, where is it? Oh, this coin, Pierre. My son paid you with that, eh? But naturally. No, I'll take it. Here is silver for it. Uh, you see, there is a cross marked on the coin. I have sentimental reasons for keeping it. I understand. You, uh, did not tell my son I was here. Of course not. I thought... That is good. Thank you, Pierre. I thank you, Fleuran. Au revoir. Au revoir. Did you find him, Pierre? Yes. Where? At Fleuran's café. And the coin. Did you find the coin? Look. Is this it? Yes. It has the cross on it. Right. Does he know? No. Fleuran brought it to me secretly after Jacques paid his bill. What are we going to do? Find your wedding gown, Bruin. You will have to wear it for what I plan. You look beautiful, Bruin, the day of our wedding when you wore that gown. To think now I must wear it for this. Never mind. It is the custom. A mother and father in their wedding clothes shall judge an airing son. Au revoir. Fetch two candles from the kitchen, eh? And the three-legged stool, too. There. We shall sit as judge and jury on this side of the fire. There. Now Jacques will sit here opposite us. Now the candles, eh? There now. That gives enough light. That gun in the chimney corner, Pierre. Careful. It is loaded. Pierre, I'm afraid. What are you going to do? It must be, it must be. But I... Shhh. He is coming. It is either very dark or he's very drunk. Let him in, eh? What's this? Is there going to be a wedding? Sit down, Jacques. Maybe this bucket of water will clear his head. No. Sit down, Jacques. Give me a loan. Sit down on the stool there. Pull out. Do as your father says. What is this? You have sinned against your mother and father. We are sitting in judgment over you. See? You can't do this. The law works.  He means what he says, Jacques. What do you want? Here is a bit of paper. Look at it. Have you ever seen it? No. Look closer. At the handwriting. That is your mother's handwriting, is it not? I guess so. Yes, so. You know it is. All right. Yes, yes. See what it says? For Perot.  His father is suffering hard times. Who needs every sound team anyone can offer.  Sold the whole of it into her mattress. And now, Jacques, the coin is no longer in the mattress. And I'm supposed to know where the coin is. Sit still. I found that bit of paper floating on the water when I came in.  So I went to town. You were at Florence this afternoon, were you not Jacques? Well, how did you... You did not think I knew, did you? But you don't deny it, eh? All right, I... I was at Florence. And you paid your score with a Spanish doubloon. What if I did? There are other gold coins in the country besides what my mother hides in her mattresses. Nobody but we three knew it was there. Yeah. Maybe you took it and hid it. So as to blame me. Jacques. I'll tell you, I did not take the coin. How came you by the doubloon then? I... I got it not. How can you prove it? I'll tell you, I got it there. You insist you did not take your mother's coin, eh? I did not take it. Can you swear it on your salvation? I swear. I can't. I'll swear if it's not true. You can repent and mend your ways. There's still time. Oh, be quiet, old woman. You have always tried to ruin me. That is another thing to add to your wrongs. Now come to the point. Will you swear? Yes. All right, now. Take a look at this coin which Florent gave me. The one with which you paid your bill this afternoon. See the cross on the coin where the sardine muchin' nicked it before he paid me? Did the coin you picked up in Nantes have that cross marked on it? Well, well, I... Answer me. No, no. Enough talk. I say nothing of all the wrong you've done before. No comrade may shall die in the marketplace at Crassick. Say your prayers, Jacques, and let us be quick. Father Gabbo is coming to hear your confession. He is already coming up the path to the house. Open the door for him, Bruin. Will you come in now, Father? Thank you. Bonjour, Father. Bonjour. Jacques is waiting for you. I am ready, son. No. No. He is waiting for your confession, Jacques. Speak, Jacques. The crime is worse when concealed. Confess to it. That makes it easier. Your mother is right, young man. The crime will weigh heavier on your conscience if you do not speak up. No. No.  You seem to fear death more than eternal damnation. I will not do it. I will not do it. It is no use, Father. I guess he has always been willful, this boy. That has been the curse of this household ever since he was born. Very well. You will not be needing me any longer. I have other visits to make, you know. Of course, Father. Pardon us, sir, for bringing you so far. I meant to give my son a lesson. Good night, then. Good night, Father. Good night, Father. I... Not another word. Get off to bed now. It's better this way. Maybe he'll repent. Or not him. Nevertheless, I'm glad you didn't hurt him. Never mind. This night is not over yet. I shall wait until he is asleep. What are you going to do? What must be must be. What are you going to do? You shall see. You shall see. Who's there? Light, I... I can't see. Who is it? Father? That rope? That strip of sailor. What are you going to do to me? If you were not with me, I would do it alone. Don't do this to me! Get it now. Tie his feet. There. What have you done with Jack? It's Jack's cat. Tell me, what have you done with him? A bucket of water? Broke my poor wife's heart. She died within a week. And I... I was never the same. The thought of what I had done haunts me. I... I could not fish by day. I could not sleep by night. In the end, my conscience drove me to go to see a priest. He refused me absolution until I... I promised to tell my story to a justice which I did. He sentenced me to this. And here I sit. A man under a vow. Doomed to watch over the water. To talk with no one. Sitting. Watching. Waiting.


Now a quick command that can be used for wayfinding is npm root. It will print the directory where your npm modules are. And like we learned in the last video with the gflag, we can find out where our global packages are. I don't like not knowing where things are installed, so this is very helpful and gives me much peace of mind.


Hello guys, welcome back to my channel or welcome if you're new. Ever since I moved down to North Carolina, which if you are new here, I moved from Pennsylvania to North Carolina at the beginning of December by myself on my own. Single woman not knowing anybody. I pretty much just kind of picked this town off of a map, did a little online research, came down here one time to scope it out in person and was like, yeah, I like it and then moved down here. And it's been one of the greatest experiences of my life and ever since I moved, I've been getting so many messages and comments asking how did I adjust? How did I make the decision to come down here and like be brave enough to do it? And also how have I been meeting people and making friends because I've been sharing in my vlogs and on Instagram a little bit here and there how I've been going out and socializing. So I just wanted to address all of those kinds of questions and I thought the best way to do it was just do a chatty get ready with me because I also have some new makeup products that I am dying to try out. And I just thought it would be fun. I'll try out the new makeup, get ready, we can chat. Taking a quick little break from the video to tell you about the sponsor of the video, Magic Spoon.

I actually, I just got out of the shower, obviously as you can see. So I am going to put a little product in my hair so that way it can air dry. I'm just going to wear it natural today and that way it can air dry as I'm doing my makeup. So this is the IGK Rich Kid Coconut Oil Air Dry Styler. Basically like a soft hair gel. I got this a few days ago and this is my second time using it and I don't know. I think I like it but I'm not entirely sure just yet. So I want to keep using it so I can decide how I feel. It does smell pretty good though. It has a nice beachy like coconut smell. And lately when I've been wearing my hair curly, I haven't been parting it.  Okay so the first thing that I am going to use is this Morphe by Avani Gregg Face and Body Illuminator. I'm just going to dot a little bit of this, just doing like the little C. I've never used this before but I'm hoping it'll add like a glow from within underneath the foundation. Foundation I'm using is new as well. I mean I don't think it's a new foundation but it's new to me. This is the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. Oh it's more liquidy than I was expecting. And I'm going to apply it with the Morphe M6 Brush. So yeah I, the reason why I moved was I had been living in my hometown for most of my life and I knew I didn't want to stay there my whole entire life because I just felt like limited there. I don't know. It's like such a small town and I just, I like change. I like experiencing new things.  Now I'm applying the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer. I have been getting so many messages from people saying like oh my god you are so brave blah blah blah. And it's funny because I've wanted to move away since I graduated high school and especially in college. Like after college I wanted to get the hell out of Pennsylvania. I just wanted to be somewhere different. But I was terrified to do it by myself and I've been in relationships for most of my adult life. So I always thought like oh well you know when I eventually move away it's going to be with a boyfriend so I have to wait on the guy to be ready to move and want to move. And none of the guys that I dated wanted to leave or they said they did but like they just never followed through with it. They were like scared. They had all these excuses whatever. And I think I just like I don't know I just wasn't ready to do that on my own. A because like financially I just couldn't. But also I was just scared to do that. So it's funny like looking at my life now and how things are and the way I am and like my confidence is just so crazy. 18 year old me would be so proud of myself right now.  I could never like you can. You definitely can because I always thought oh I never could do that. But here I am I did it and let me tell you it's been amazing and I feel like I mean yeah being in a new area with someone else like with a partner is great. It makes it so much easier because you have someone to like go explore with. But I feel like being by myself it forces me to get out of my comfort zone and not be codependent and rely on somebody else you know. And that opens up the door for like more opportunities to meet people and just discover new things new places stuff like that. Oh this light let me turn you a little bit. If you've been thinking about making a big move I say go for it. I mean at the end of the day it's like what do you have to lose you know. Like yeah it's scary and overwhelming but like what else are you gonna do? Are you gonna just keep waiting and keep wishing? Why? Like life is too short just go for it give it a try. Worst case scenario that's what I told myself. Worst case scenario if I don't like it I can always come back. And I mean yes moving is expensive and it's stressful and all that. But really when it comes down to it you can always go back. So that's what I told myself and honestly like I was all over the place. I was a roller coaster of emotions there would be times where I would be so excited and I would feel so empowered and like such a badass about moving. And then there'd be times where I would be panicking and feel so much anxiety and think like oh my god is this crazy like am I making the right choice? Do I really want to be doing this? Like I'm not going to know anybody this is just this is crazy but I just went for it. Now I'm going to use another new product. This is the COSIS cloud set baked setting and smoothing powder in the shade Breezy. Pressing it in. Anyway so yeah when I got down here I'm trying to think when the first time is that I actually like hung out with somebody down here. I think it was probably like at least a good like month month and a half or so before I hung out with somebody in person. I was honestly just spending a lot of time alone. I'm gonna use the NYX matte bronzer and I was meeting people here and there. I didn't make like actual friends and like exchange contact information or anything right away with anybody but for example like I was just out walking my dog around the apartment complex and I met a girl who was also out with her dog and you know I was like oh do you mind if they play with each other and say hello and our dogs played for a little bit and we chatted but you know if you have a dog that's such an easy amazing way to meet people. Like just go out walking your dog and if your dog's trying to play with another dog go over introduce yourself to the owner and let them know that you're new in town. Like that's what I did with every person I talk to and usually when people hear that they're gonna be like oh my god let me fill you in and tell you like all the good places to check out and good restaurants and there's nothing wrong with just being like oh hey uh I literally just moved here and I know nobody uh you seem pretty cool do you mind exchanging even if you just exchange like social media or something I'm new here I'm trying to make some friends have somebody to show me around go to coffee with or something like that and I know it's like a little bit easier said than done especially if you're a more like shy reserved person which naturally I am but you just gotta do it you know this is the NYX ombre blush by the way but yeah so I met people that way and don't be afraid to go out exploring like go out to lunch by yourself I did it a lot of times I would go sit in a coffee shop I would go to lunch go sit outside at a restaurant there's tons of opportunity to strike up conversation with random strangers while you're out and honestly you never know who you're going to meet where or when I remember I was out at a restaurant for lunch waiting for a table and there were a few other parties of people waiting too and I overheard these two guys talking to each other talking about how they're both from Pennsylvania and I was like oh my god what so I went over and I was like did I just overhear you guys saying that you're from PA because same I go to the dog park a lot with my dog as well and I've had so many conversations with people there another main way that I have been meeting people down here is through social media through Instagram and yes a lot of people have reached out to me and like you know I already have a following so people already follow me that happen to live here and they reach out but even if you don't have like a YouTube channel you're not like a vlogger or whatever you can just look up your city's location that's what I did just search the geotag or if there's like a cool coffee shop or something in your town look up the location on Instagram see who posted pictures with that tagged location and then see if you see anybody's photos that look like you might have something in common someone that looks kind of interesting to you and follow them and send them a message and I know some people might be like oh my god no I could never that's like so creepy and weird but it's really not like that's what social media is for there's a couple girls actually that I am following on Instagram right now that live down here that I found by doing that but there's honestly nothing creepy about it like just send them a message hey I saw that you also live in this town I just moved here recently and I don't know anybody and I'm looking to make some friends you know would you be interested in meeting up for coffee or getting lunch or something like that you can also find like local groups on Facebook and that's a great way too to make sure that you're finding people that have like a similar interest as you search your town on Facebook see what groups come up I know a lot of times have like mommy Facebook groups and stuff like that or like look up a popular restaurant or some kind of business in your town and then see who follows that business's page and who's interacting with it because then you know like oh okay they obviously live here they go to that place a lot you can also try out Bumble BFF I did that I never ended up meeting up with anybody from that but I exchanged messages a little bit with some people by the way I realized I forgot to mention what I was doing makeup wise I applied Becca Champagne Pop as my highlighter and then I applied the benefit gimme brow brow gel and now I'm taking that same bronzer I used on my cheeks putting that in my crease but yeah Bumble BFF try that out and if you are single I mean you know try out some dating apps if you feel comfortable with that obviously you want to be careful when you are meeting up with people in real life you know obviously always meet in a public place etc meet them there don't have them pick you up don't give them your address don't go to their house etc but going on dates has been another way that I've met people and been able to socialize and get to try out new places and get more familiar with the area and honestly once you meet one person you can then meet other people that they know and that's what's been happening for me like now I have a little friend group which is so nice because we get to hang out all the time and we all have dogs that are similar breeds like same size same age too it's actually like fate in a way I feel like um but yeah our dogs play together so it's just like the perfect scenario and I became a part of that friend group by just you know meeting one person who then introduced me to everybody else you just can't be afraid of putting yourself out there and also like don't expect it to happen overnight you know like it's gonna take a little bit of time to meet people or you probably will meet people but it'll take time before you actually make like real genuine friends because I've met a good amount of people down here and they're cool but you know maybe not necessarily people that I would see myself getting really close with or hang out with all the time but it's just nice to know people nice to make connections nice to have somebody that you can hit up if you want to go out for lips I'm doing the Charlotte Silbury pillow talk lip liner and then I'm topping it off with the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in the shade Amber and then I'm going to set everything with the benefit professional super setter spray my hair still kind of wet so I am going to hit it with the diffuser a little bit give me one second so here is the finished hair and makeup see I've been loving like not doing a part really because then it just I like just being able to flip it wherever and here is the makeup it's so glowy I really like the finish of this foundation a lot um I was in Ulta the one day and one of the employees there had the most flawless looking base and I was like what foundation are you wearing she said it was this one and that she does bridal makeup and this is what she uses on all her brides so I was like okay I'm sold say no more but I will have all of the products that I used linked in the description also don't forget to check out the link and my discount code to magic spoon and yeah I hope that you found this video helpful and I don't know maybe inspiring or motivating in some kind of way honestly like this decision for me to move was the best decision ever and I mean it's only been like three months since I've been here the first month was kind of rough and there were definitely times where I felt homesick and I kind of like questioned my decision once you start making friends and you really start like establishing yourself there like making a life for yourself it just feels so good and I feel like you see me in my videos and on social media and I probably come off some type of way like this super like confident you know I don't I don't give a shit kind of person but if you could see how I was growing up as a child and in high school and in college and early 20s you probably wouldn't even believe like how far I've come so truly when I tell you

Hello, everybody. Good afternoon. Andrea Majeski here with Dental Health Tutoring. So you might be wondering when should you start to study for the board exam? So this applies to dental hygiene students and dental assisting students as well. When I took the board exam, I remember it like it was yesterday for dental assisting specifically and I do remember for dental hygiene too. So for dental assisting, I probably studied about three or four months in advance but it was because I had a busy school schedule and I worked evenings. So I didn't really have a lot of time to study so I wanted to study far enough in advance so that I could do a little bit every single day like an hour or two hours at night time and that's it. Whereas I didn't want to be studying like five or six hours a day because I just didn't have time for that. I was still in school. I had to work and on weekends. I wanted to have some fun, right? I became a dental assistant at age 19. So I was still young. But for dental hygiene, it was pretty much the same thing though. I was in school all day. I was living in Toronto. So I worked in the evenings too, not every evening, but almost every evening. But I did study on the weekends as well because the dental hygiene board exam, I just kind of felt like it was a more intense board exam. Plus I had a job waiting for me literally the day after I passed. So no pressure, but I kind of had to pass. So I was really, really doing as much as I could. So I did study three or four months prior. And that's what I tell all of my students when they ask me. If they say when should I start to study for the board exam? I say if you can, study four months prior. Three months is okay too. But I do also tell those students who are coming to me a month before they take the exam and say I'm starting to study now. What should I do? So if you're literally studying a month before, there is still hope.  I'm talking five hours every single day, okay? Two hours, two, six hours at the most.  But that's where it gets tricky because life gets in the way, right? One day you might be sick. But if you take that day off before the month before the exam and you don't study, you're in trouble. I'm being honest, but you will be in trouble.  Too bad.  Okay, every day. But if you were smarter, you know, sorry, I have to say that.  You need a break, okay? Because you have been studying as much as possible beforehand and heck, you have four months left. So two days or three days is not going to harm you, right? Let's say you are sick for a whole week. Don't study. Focus on getting better because if you start to study four months before the exam, you have time, right? Because life gets in the way. Either you are sick, someone else is sick. You have kids. You have to take care of them. You have pets. They might be sick. You have to take care of them. Your best friend's moving and needs your help. You're moving. Maybe you're getting married. Maybe it's Christmas. Maybe it's Thanksgiving. Maybe it's Halloween. Maybe it's summer. You know, life gets in the way. So study in plenty of time. And if you need help in my full course, the Board Exam Prep Academy, you will now have eight months full access. So remember how I said four months or three months before the exam is a good idea to start to study? Well, I take it a step further and you have a full eight months access. So sign up now because why not? You can study a little bit every single day or even study a little bit every Friday night and that's it or Monday morning or whatever, right? But with the full eight months access to everything, you have nothing to lose because you have everything. Study a little bit at a time so it's a lot easier for you. You have full access to all of the mock exams, all of the case studies, all of the modules. We do live tutoring about three times a month, sometimes four. There's a private Facebook group also. So you have full access to all of that. And for a limited time, I'll put the link on the bottom there in the description. For a limited time, you have full access also for free. All of the 2016 and 2017 session recordings. So all of our sessions. Sorry, my dog's barking. Hold on, guys. Of course, the mailman's here. Sorry, guys. I probably should have clicked pause, but I didn't think about that at the time. Tom is home so he was able to answer the door. But I apologize if you guys can hear my dog's barking. I have three dogs so sorry if you guys can hear that. But let me think. What was I saying? I think I was talking about full access to the 2016 and 2017 recordings, I believe, right? So you guys have full access to all of that for free. And you might be thinking, well, that's kind of old news like 2016, 2017, but not really. Because if you guys have your textbooks from school, they're probably at least five years old, right? But all of that same stuff will be on the board exam. So why not utilize as much as possible? And I'm including them for free. For a limited time, though, you guys. So this will not be for forever. Usually I charge for that package. So the 2016 and 2017 videos, $200 plus. So you get full access to all of that for free when you sign up for the board exam prep academy. Plus all mock exams, all modules, all tutoring, everything. So it's really, really nice. And I do have a 100% satisfaction and guarantee. So if you do not pass your exam after tutoring with me, you will have the full course again free of charge. So you do not have to have to pay for anything the second time. So I hope that helps. It should. You might as well sign up, make it so much easier for you. Trust me, you will feel so much more confident and so much less stressed out. So if you guys have questions, let me know. And thank you so much for watching. And I'll see you guys at the next one.


I was totally wowed by what's going on here at Wright-Patterson. I don't think that the Air Force really truly understands how diverse the mission set is here at Wright-Patterson. What they do on the medical side to the things that they do with AFRL, LCMC, to include the mission that the 88th has in itself, I mean such a broad, very diverse mission set that impacts every single airman in our Air Force. Coming out to visit our airman at their installations, you know I have a couple goals in mind. One is that I can hear from our airman directly from the field. Some of the challenges that they have also learn about the great things that are happening on is great perspective for me to take back into the Pentagon. The other goal that I have is being able to get out there and share what we are doing as an Air Force Enterprise with our airman so that they can hear it directly for me and they know exactly our focus is the United States Air Force and where we are going. We've been here for two days and trying to shove it all in there. We've probably only touched like two percent of the impact that AFMC has across our United States Air Force. And so my hope is that every one of the airmen who works here realizes the impact that they have on the broader Air Force.


There you go. Hello, everyone. So my name is William Buchwalter. I'm a senior software engineer at Microsoft in the AI research group. So just to give you a little bit of context, I'm not going to talk about Azure, mostly, just Kubernetes in general. I've been working in the Kubernetes slash ML space for the past 18 months. I've actually been contributing to Kuflo since last July. It wasn't called Kuflo back then, but still, and a bunch of other stuff. So I just want to talk a little bit about why are we interested in Kubernetes, interested in Kubernetes for machine learning in the first place, right? Kubernetes has been developed with microservices in mind, not GPU workloads or anything like that. So why does it make sense to use Kubernetes? Obviously, the strongest point for Kubernetes is the community, right? This community is just amazing and so large that if you're a company wanting to do machine learning, training, for example, and you want to deploy a new training strategy, something, let's say, like population-based training, it's actually kind of complicated to do, but you have a good chance of finding an open source implementation already working for you on Kubernetes. So obviously, this is a stronger argument. But then, it's also because Kubernetes, I think, has really well-designed and clean APIs. So that means even if you don't find what you want and you need to start from scratch, it's actually much easier to do that on Kubernetes than it was just a few years ago. For example, I worked actually on population-based training, which comes from DeepPine originally, with a large customer. And to implement that on Kubernetes, it just took a few days and an end chart. It's actually really easy because the APIs are really nice. And obviously, scaling is important. Kubernetes scale pretty largely. So for example, we have a nice studio with OpenAI. So a few months ago, I think in January, OpenAI released this blog post called Scaling Kubernetes to 2,500 nodes. So they did that on Azure. And it wasn't easy. They had a lot of issues with HCD, Network, DiscoIO, et cetera. But ultimately, they managed to reach that scale with a very small team of engineers. I think there were two, maybe three people. And a single job, in that case, can go up to 10 k-cores. So that's pretty big. And this was the finished disclosure like last year or three years ago. And with every single release of Kubernetes and HCD, it's becoming easier and easier to go even further than that. So I'm really excited to see where this is going. Yeah, that's my Azure slide, I guess. So we have kind of two offering for Kubernetes on Azure. We have AKS, which is the full-managed Kubernetes where you don't have to do anything yourself. And then on the other side of the spectrum, we have ACS Engine, which is open source, where you can really do whatever you want with it. So ACS Engine had support for GPUs for quite a while. But ACS know as GPU support officially. And we are releasing this week a workshop, so kind of 10 module labs to work you through doing Kubeflow on Azure. So we're assuming knowledge, starting from zero, starting from what is Docker. Because Kubeflow is nice, but we have to realize that a lot of people that want to use it don't know anything about containers and Kubernetes. And so we have to make an effort to onboard them, right? And I'm going to finish by just a few thoughts. So I'm not going to talk about everything here. But I want to talk about two things that I think are going to be interesting. So it's a bit far-fetched. But the first one is virtual kublet. So if you didn't hear about that, that's a project, basically do an open source implementation of the kublet that you can then back up with usually something like Azure container instance or AWS Fargate. But for example, someone just made a request to add a provider for Azure Batch.  And you might wonder why you wanted to do that instead of just using GPU and Kubernetes. The reason is because you can scale very fast in a matter of seconds with Azure Batch. And so for example, it will be really nice for use cases when you want to do transfer learning on very short training times and when you want to keep control of the cost. And another one, which I'm excited about, but is very early, is Metaparticle. So if you were at KubeCon last year in Austin, you might have seen the keynote by Brandon Burns, who basically made his point that Kubernetes is becoming the standard runtime of the cloud, right? And since it's a runtime, we also need a standard library to go with it. So you can directly from your code deploy to Kubernetes without having to go for Docker files and Kubernetes templates. And so I mean, I'm playing with this idea of tailoring Metaparticle to work specifically for machine learning. So for example, you could define a decorator in Python on top of your function to say, OK, I want to train this function using that many agents in parallel, et cetera. And when you do Python, my script, it's actually going to deploy everything, build everything, and deploy it on the cloud for you. For example, using a Kubeflow CRD, something like that. So obviously, it's extremely experimental. But you're just sharing a few thoughts that I think are interesting. And that's it for me. Thank you. All right.
