Welcome to Sheboygan County government working for you. I'm Dan Lemihoo, Sheboygan County Board Chairman. I co-host this program with Adam Payne, our administrative coordinator. And each month, we try to bring some of the services that Sheboygan County offers to its residents to you and some of the services we provide. This month, we have Gene Larabee, a director of our healthcare centers with us. Gene, you were with us in one of our first programs when we started this program back in June of last year. And a lot of, we haven't come close to covering all our counties yet. So you're really privileged to be back with us for a second round of this. But a lot of things have been happening at the healthcare centers over the last six, seven months. And that's why we have you back so you can bring all our viewers up to date on what's happening. The biggest thing we have going for the healthcare centers is our consolidation project. And maybe you could just bring us up to date a little bit on the status of the consolidation project. Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman. For us, it's a pleasure to return to your program. I'm glad to be here. As I'm sure many people know, the consolidation project has officially begun. We had our groundbreaking in January. The construction has started. They're digging furiously away on the Rocky Hill campus. And at this juncture, it looks like an anticipated completion date, which would probably be early spring of next year is right on target. When we say consolidation project, what does this encompass? What are we consolidating? Well, actually what we're doing is we're doing two things. We are going to actually physically close the current comprehensive care center and move its location to the Rocky Hill campus. We'll be creating two operating entities on the Rocky Hill campus. A replacement facility for the comprehensive care center. And then we'll also maintain a skilled nursing facility. The healthcare center at Rocky Hill will also stay in place. So we will have actually two facilities on the Rocky Hill campus. One will be the comprehensive care center at Rocky Hill, the other being the healthcare center at Rocky Hill. Sadly to say, when we do projects like this, there's a cost involved. Yes, there is. We don't do them for nothing. And so maybe you could just go over a little bit of the cost of this project. Well, one of the things that I can report with pleasure, even though it's a significant amount of dollars, is that our original budgeted amount for the construction on this project was just a little bit over $8.9 million. And when all the bids were received from the contractors and builders, et cetera, it looks like we could come in significantly under budget if we stay on target in accordance with the bids. The bids totaled about $8.2 million. So that's good news at least. And the goal of this show is to tell our viewers what services we as a county provide. What, after the consolidation project, what services will you be providing out there at Rocky Hill? Well, that's to me probably the most exciting part of this project, although it's always fascinating to watch the bricks and mortar go in place. What's exciting for me is what we're going to have there once we finish. We're going to have a campus that actually has five different programmatic approaches to resident care. On the healthcare center side in the Rocky Knoll facility, we will have three different programmatic approaches to the resident population. We'll have a traditional general skilled nursing population. We'll have a dedicated unit for Medicare residents, which basically is a more intensive medical unit. We'll have a dedicated Alzheimer's unit. So the healthcare center at Rocky Knoll will have three different programmatic approaches.  And we'll have 59 beds dedicated to those with mental disorders, cognitive dysfunction, et cetera. So we'll have five different clinical programs going on at once on that campus. And the thing that makes it special is that from what our research shows, we'll be the only facility of our kind in the country. And I think that's pretty exciting. Many of our viewers have been out to both conference center and to Rocky Knoll previously. And I know you have some sketches along of what the consolidation project is going to look like when it's finished. Maybe if you could identify on your diagram where some of these services will be offered, how it will be laid out at Rocky Knoll when it's finished. I'd be glad to do that and I'll get out of my chair so I can use the pointer and hope that I don't pull a Bob Dole. If we start with the bottom diagram here, these sections of the building right now, this brown section and this kind of maroon section right here are the current facility at Rocky Knoll. This is the part of the facility that was built in 1972. This is the part of the facility that was built in 1992. And the base section over here represents the new ICF-MR unit. This base section represents some additional construction and this darker maroon section also represents some new construction.  The brown section of the building will become the IMD unit or the facility that will house our residents and population. There'll be 59 beds in this unit. So these two parts of the building together will basically be the replacement comprehensive care center and they'll be the comprehensive care center in Rocky Knoll and in addition to that, this particular area here will be a new dining facility for this resident population. And that's the area that we're now starting to construct. Right, construction is now in progress on the ICF-MR unit itself. Construction has not yet begun on the new dining area, but construction has begun on the ICF-MR addition. And the completion date for this part of the project? Completion date for the whole project in and of itself is end of March of next year. Then in this section of the building, which will be the healthcare center at Rocky Knoll, will have a general skilled nursing population. And then if you note, this wing here goes off as a separate part of the building. And on the first floor, we'll have a specialized dedicated Alzheimer's unit, which will include a new enclosed courtyard, which is represented by this pathway. And then on the second floor of this particular wing will be our dedicated Medicare wing. And in addition to that in the darker maroon right here, we're constructing some additional office space, but also some additional activity space, dining space and therapy suites. So it's a pretty exciting addition. And if you look at the upper drawing, you can get an artist rendering of, architects rendering of what the new construction will actually look like. Right here is represented the ICF-MR, the 37 bed addition. And you can see it is a one story structure as compared to the current Rocky Knoll, which is a multi-storied structure. But architecturally it should fit in design wise, very nicely. And one of the things that I'm eager to see is, when the summer, when we get close to the warmer months and the trees start to bloom, this is really going to be in quite a scenic and aesthetically nice setting. And on the upper picture here, then it shows that the addition that will be going on to the front of the current Rocky Knoll building that will house the administrative areas and therapy suites and extra dining spaces that I referred to before. So we're really excited about the complex, what we're creating there and even more excited about what the results will be when we're finished. Well, it looks like the facility will be a state of the art. We're doing things as modern as we can do them to give that level of care that our residents expect. One of the, we haven't gotten to this point in a short period of time. Correct. And we've been discussing this long before you were on the scene. And one of the concerns over the years and that we've been discussing this is when we consolidate, are we going to have enough bed space, enough beds, enough facility to take care of the needs of the residents of Shabai County? Well, if we look statistically over the average total census amongst the three facilities, including Sunny Ridge over the calendar year 2000, our average census at all three facilities was 520 residents. Right now, the way the consolidation plan is designed, there'll be 514 licensed beds when all is said and done. But we also have the ability to expand that capacity by an additional 24. So we have the ability, if need be, to have a total of 538 beds. If we go based on statistics, we should have more than enough bed space available to provide for the needs of the county. So you're talking about a flexibility of an additional, what did you say, 20? 24. 24 licensed beds that we could have. That we could have. What about space in the facility? And then a licensed bed doesn't do us any good if we don't have a room to put it in. We will have the room to put those beds because right now we are creating a facility at the Rocky Null Campus especially that will have a uniquely high number of private rooms. And these rooms are being converted from rooms that were traditional semi-private or two-bed rooms. So if we decided to increase, for example, the licensed capacity at Rocky Null, we would still have more than an adequate number of private rooms available and yet have the flexibility to create additional bed space by turning what is planned now to be private rooms back into semi-private rooms that they traditionally were. Maybe another concern is how will you physically move? Resident, we're building a new structure or adding to Rocky Null. At some point, we have to physically move the residents from one facility to another. At that point and between now and then, which is a year away, do we have room in our facilities to move people or are we full right now at Rocky Null? No, Rocky Null right now, as a matter of fact, currently right now in accordance with our licensed bed capacity, we have a substantial number of empty beds at each building. We will have the ability, and we have a phase down plan that will phase in over the next year and a half to two years, which will de-license the beds that we aren't currently using, because right now our total license capacity is about 700 beds. And as we approach the consolidation project, we'll phase down the number of licensed beds, but we have designed a program to do that so that we still have plenty of adequate flexibility if there's any need to move residents during construction, if there's any need to move residents from facility to facility on a short-term basis, which that we really don't anticipate, but should the need arise, we will have the ability to do that because our phase down plan is planned so that the majority of those licensed beds aren't surrendered until actually your construction is completed. There's been a lot of discussion throughout this whole process, also on the status of the facility that comps the health center out on D, and which was one of the reasons we're doing the consolidation we were doing is because of the status of that facility, that actual brick and mortar of that building. Could you just tell us a little bit about that and what the status is of that building? Well, to be quite candid with you, and I want to make it very clear before I state anything negative, we are not in a situation at comp center structurally or any other way that places in doubt the safety and welfare of the residents that we're taking care of, and I want to make that extraordinarily clear, but we do have a building that's 62 years old. We have a building whose systems mechanically are beginning to wear out. We have a major problem with the sewage treatment system at the facility, which the Department of Natural Resources has already been pretty tough on the building and told us either we have to close it off or fix it, the cost of repairing just that system would be well over a million dollars, which was a contributing factor in deciding to close the facility. We've had a recent problem at the facility with a water main break that really, after it broke, turned into a domino effect that caused problems with our water tower, that caused problems with our boiler. We're still waiting to see what the total dollar expense to those reparations are going to be just to keep our water system in place. And we're kind of sitting here with our fingers crossed, hoping that we don't have any other major maintenance type or structural problems between now and the time that the consolidation construction is finished and it's time to relocate our residents. I know that in the budget for our comprehensive health center this year, there is some monies, there are some monies in there for maintenance and repair because we know that because of the age of the facility we need to do something so you can assure us that the facility will be repaired as things happen so that the residents will be well taken care of. Yes, and there is a significant amount of money budgeted just for that purpose and I credit both the county board and the finance committee for the foresight to take into consideration the potential of that happening. Well, and again, I think the paramount concern was the law for the residents. Right. And in order to ensure that the monies had to be put aside for the facility. Correct. We've talked quite a bit about the consolidation project and that investment, $9 million of infrastructure investment there. The healthcare centers is our second largest department, over $30 million annually. We certainly rely a lot on federal funds, Medicaid funds for operating. Although this past year was one of the first years in some time that we've levied a significant amount of funds for operations. Just this week, the county board, as you all know, took action on the Intergovernmental Transfer Program, which could be a real benefit, not only to Sheboygan County, but nursing homes across the state. Could you share with our viewers a brief overview of what the Intergovernmental Program is? Hopefully I can do so simplistically.  But the Intergovernmental Transfer Program was initially set up by the federal government to provide a mechanism where in especially non-state operated governmental facilities could be reimbursed to assist them in making up the costs for taking care of the Medicaid populations that they have in their facilities. And when I say non-state operated government facilities, that means primarily those nursing homes that are operated either by a county or a municipality. The original concept behind the program, as far as its necessity was concerned, was geared toward the fact that typically, especially facilities like ours, will take care of many residents that the private sector does not care to admit because they're more difficult cases either because of their medical complexity or because of psychiatric or behavioral problems. So it was recognized by the federal government that there's an additional cost to operate a county facility because of the simple reason of resident acuity and necessity to have higher staff ratios to take care of a more difficult population. The way that the Intergovernmental Transfer Program works is that states certify to the federal government Medicaid expenditures for those facilities. And then in exchange for that, are eligible to receive matching funds to help fund the Medicaid program. The recent action by the county board, which approved a wire transfer to the state of about $227 million, is a mechanism in which the state can maximize the matching federal dollars that it receives. By counties in Wisconsin, and in this particular case, Sheboygan is one of three, participating in the program, the state government then becomes eligible to receive additional matching dollars. What that means in practical terms for our health care centers is that we'll have a significant amount of reimbursement realized from it that historically we had not realized, and that will come in two ways. One, there'll be a significant increase to our share of the Intergovernmental Transfer Program, but the additional funding to the Medicaid program in the state of Wisconsin will also enable the state to grant Medicaid rate increases to all the industry. So we will be receiving rewards in essence in two different ways. We'll have a substantial increase in our share of the Intergovernmental Transfer money pool, and we'll also have a significant increase in our revenues due to a Medicaid rate increase. So it was a program, I think, that first of all, from my perspective, appreciate the very strong support that the county board gave to it when they approved participation in the program. And secondly, from my perspective, an almost risk-free way for us to participate and realize enhanced revenues that will significantly help the bottom line of our operations and hopefully place us in a position, at least for the next couple of years, where it won't be necessary for us to ask for a levy to subsidize operations. So how more specifically does it relate to the consolidation project that we're involved with right now, as well as more specifically, what kind of dollars do you see coming to Sheboygan County if this is approved by the state and federal government? One of the advantages to our participation as one of the counties selected to participate in this wire transfer of monies is that our share of Intergovernmental Transfer funds will be enhanced because of our participation. And one of the criterion that was used by the state to select counties participating were those counties that were already actively involved in a phased-down program, and I mean phased-down, and what I mean by that is, we were voluntarily surrendering licensed beds. In our case, interestingly enough, the licensed beds we're surrendering are unoccupied, but some counties are actually surrendering licensed beds that are occupied. But because of that, we will be assured during our participation in the program during our phased-down period that all of the losses that we generate that are eligible losses under the Medicaid reimbursement formula will be reimbursed back to us. In dollar amounts, when you take the amount of additional dollars that the IGT program will generate and add to that the additional dollars that will be generated by the Medicaid rate increase, it should enhance our revenues at the Schwoding County Health Care Centers by about five to six million dollars over the next state biennium, so it's a substantial amount of money. It's a wonderful opportunity for the county. With the consolidation, $9 million in the work that's going there, with the activity now trying to draw more federal dollars to the county, I mean there's just a lot of positive things going on with our health care centers. Whenever you have this kind of change, certainly there's gonna be questions from personnel on how is this gonna affect me? And one of the concerns that we've heard is, are we gonna be looking at any possible layoffs as a result of the consolidation? What are your thoughts there? Well, at this particular juncture, what we have to do is examine not the fact that we're delicensing a number of beds because we're delicensing primarily beds that have no residents. What we have to do is we have to look at the number of people we still have to care for. The number of people we still have to care for unless for some disastrous, unknown, unpredictable reason our resident census takes a drastic drop in numbers, we're gonna be taking care of the same number of people a year from now that we're taking care of today. That means we're gonna need the same number of staff that we have today to take care of those people. So as I sit here right now, we do not anticipate that any staff members will be asked to be laid off. We do not anticipate that there will be any significant reduction in positions. I cannot guarantee to all staff that they will all be in the same locale, so to speak, that they might be now. I do anticipate there may be a small percentage of our staff who may be reassigned to another facility. And I say that in order to be honest and candid and frank. But I do not at this juncture anticipate that we'll have any layoffs or anyone who will lose employment, who continues to choose to stay employed. You touched on earlier some of the values of the consolidation and the broader continuum of care we're gonna have here. You've emphasized now that layoffs don't appear to be in the picture. And although people may have to move, certainly they don't have to worry about layoffs. That was one of the things early on that the county board thought we might see some savings and if we're not gonna see savings in the area of personnel, what cost savings do you think will occur as a result of the consolidation? Well, actually we are gonna see some major cost savings in the area of personnel, but not in a direct fashion. We're not going to necessarily see any significant reductions in wages or benefits, but we're gonna see some significant reductions in personnel related areas. Right now, because we're operating three facilities in three different locations, with a higher bed capacity than we need, we have a number of open positions that we continue to recruit for. Once we consolidate the chances of us needing as many people to fill the positions that we will need will minimize. So we will save a substantial amount of money in indirect personnel areas, such as the cost of recruiting, the cost of help-wanted advertising, those kinds of things should significantly decrease in the costs that we have to incur. Additionally, because we will be able to consolidate some of our services at the Rocky Knoll campus, we'll be able to save some operating expenses in that area. In other words, we will be able to have one dietary department to serve two facilities. We will be able to have one maintenance department to serve two facilities, one housekeeping department to serve two facilities. So there will be some effort to save because we'll be more concentrated and consolidated operationally. Again, does not mean we're not going to be cutting staff in those areas, but we will be able to save money because we'll have one rather than two operations. Very good. We've been talking for most of this half hour about the Rocky Knoll campus. We're also making some improvements at Sunny Ridge. Yes, we're just in a minute or two, just cover some of those improvements that we're making. Well, we're doing over a million dollars in renovation work at Sunny Ridge. A lot of it, most of it is cosmetic, new tile on the floors, redecorated hallways, those kinds of things, just a general building facelift. But one of the exciting things that we're also doing at Sunny Ridge is we're going to create a large courtyard in the back of the building for residents that can go out and stroll or just take a walk and relax, spend time with their families, which also adds to the aesthetics of the campus. We were talking just before we started taping the show that you've been here nearly a year now. And during that year, I'm sure you've been more than busy with all the things that have been happening. And we were talking about our immediate concerns, our facilities and the services we're providing. But now that you've had your first year in in Chewagon County and you see what we're doing with our facilities, any long-term goals or any, what is your vision for our healthcare centers in Chewagon County? Well, my anniversary date is February 28th. I'm just glad I didn't start on February 29th. I'd have to wait three more years for my first anniversary. But I am probably more excited now about being here than I was the day I started. This is a very, very special organization. In the private sector, the healthcare philosophy has changed significantly during my career. Quality care is not a consequence any longer of management philosophy. It's a mere coincidence. In our organization, quality care can be a consequence of our management philosophy. We really have, regardless of the differences, we may have politically amongst people who participate in the oversight. There's never been a question that the ultimate goal is to provide the best quality care possible. And that's what excites me. We're at the right place, at the right time in history to really create an organization that I believe eventually can become a national model for long-term care. Well, this project is scheduled to be finished in spring, late spring, early summer of next year. Right. My guess is that not only have you been on our show twice, but before spring of next year, we're probably gonna get you on again and we'll bring our viewers up to date on the progress of the consolidation, of the construction. And I don't know about the ability of our, of TVA, but maybe we can go out to the project and get some pictures out there. I would look forward to that. I would look forward to that. Bring those to our viewers and so that they can firsthand see what's going on out there and we'll wait till some warm weather.  Well, that would be terrific. I would look forward to that. I know, Mr. Chairman, as well, that Gene has developed a newsletter that anyone can get on the mailing list and that's been a real effective means to get information out to people and if folks are interested in getting on that mailing list they should contact Gene or someone at our healthcare centers and we'll be sure to add them. But that's been greatly appreciated. Thank you. Well, next month we're going to have our personal director, Luala Conway, as our guest and we're going to talk about some of the things that go on in the personal office for an employer that employs 1,350 people and how it relates to our personal office. That's going to be our show for next week and we thank you for watching and we welcome your comments. Thank you.


What is a vlog by me if we don't have a coffee making montage? Hello, good morning. Welcome back to another vlog. Today, we are gonna just do a day in the life, which I am excited about because I haven't done one of these in a while. Normally my vlogs consist of like a compilation of a few different days. So you really only are seeing like a few minutes here and there of each day, but today I'm gonna really take you along for a full day. So right now, I am frantically getting ready because even though I've been up for hours now, and I had plenty of time, but in true Sam fashion I just waited till the last minute and then was like, oh crap. I need to leave in like 10 minutes. So I have a nail appointment in a few minutes, so we're gonna go and get these nails freshened up, and then I'm gonna go straight to the gym after that. And then we'll chat when I get back home, and I will fill you in on the plans for the rest of the day because I don't have time to talk right now. Gotta go to the nail salon. I'm showered. Now let's get caught up. By the way, here's my nails. The color, it was a D&D color, and it was called Island Punch, I believe. A really pretty like neon coral kind of color. Now I am getting ready to go to the salon, but I'm not working. I am getting a keratin treatment. I say that as if you can't see from the title and the thumbnail. But yeah, I've gotten a few keratin treatments in the past, and they were different ones each time, like different brands, and I really liked them a lot. They made my hair way more manageable, and at the time when I got them done in the past, my hair was pretty damaged too. So it really helped to seal the cuticle down and just allow my hair to like look smoother and grow out, and I didn't have to apply as much heat to it. I've only ever had positive experiences with them, but it's been several years since I've had one done, and I have been really embracing my natural curls a lot in the last like year or two, but it gets really, really frizzy, and especially down here in the south. I live in southern North Carolina, and in the summer, which right now it's the end of July, it gets super humid, and my hair gets crazy frizzy, and I don't really mind it so much if I'm wearing my hair natural, but if I do want to blow it out and wear it smooth, A, it takes me forever to blow dry it, especially because my hair is so long now, and B, it's like impossible for me to get it like perfectly smooth without having to apply a crap ton of heat to it, and then once I go out in the humidity, it's just kind of all for nothing anyway. So yeah, I want to get a keratin treatment. I'm thinking not all over, mostly just the hair around my face, and the top portion. I do have one row of sew-in extensions, and the extensions are naturally curly, and they match my natural hair texture, so I don't want to put the keratin on the extensions, obviously, because that can also ruin them potentially, so we're just going to do it on my natural hair, work around the extensions, and probably just do it in the front up top, but I told her that I still want my hair to get curly, like I don't want my hair to be super straight, I just want it smooth and less frizzy, and I want it to be easier and faster to blow dry it when I do want to wear it straight. They do these keratin treatments pretty regularly on clients there, like it's a pretty popular service, and everyone's hair always looks great, so I know she knows what she's doing, I trust her. The only one that's going to suck is I am not allowed to get it wet for like two to three days, that's why I was like, let me go work out before the appointment, so I can get that out of the way, because I'm not going to be able to get super sweaty for the next like two or three days, and I can't like tie it back in tight ponytails or anything like that, and then after my hair appointment, I have to stop at Target, because I have a target pickup, I ordered some clothes the other night, because they were having a sale, so I'm very excited, we'll do a try on haul when I get back, and then I want to stop at Trader Joe's and pick up some groceries, so we'll also do a grocery haul.   I literally wear their perfumes on a daily basis, this is the only perfume that I wear, and the Amory Saffron scent in particular, has been my go-to signature scent for two years now, and I am not exaggerating when I tell you, I get complimented on how I smell all the time, and my friends always, they're like, yeah, Sam just always smells so good, and I've turned all my co-workers on to Dossier, in fact two of them just in the last couple of days were verifying with me which scent I wear, because they're going to order the same one. Dossier makes replicas of well-known designer brand name fragrances for a fraction of the cost. They just put their perfume in simpler packaging, and without the celebrity marketing and retail markups and all that extra stuff that's so unnecessary, they are able to offer the exact same scent, same high quality for 70 to 90% less in some cases. So for example, this one, Amory Saffron, love it. This is a dupe for the Baccarat Rouge 540 perfume, which is super popular, but super expensive. I think the full price for that one is like around 300 plus dollars. This one from Dossier is $49, and this is the most expensive one that they have on their website. Everything else is under that. Their perfumes start at $29, and they have brands on there like Tom Ford, Joe Malone, YSL. They also are now available at Walmart, so you can actually shop Dossier from Walmart's website or in the Walmart store in person. So I will have a link down below as well as a discount code that will get you 5% off. Also, if you order directly from the Dossier website, they do have a reward system now. So make sure you select catch at the last step of checkout, and then you can start racking up points, which you can use as store credit on future purchases. Thank you so much, Dossier, for continuing to work with me and support my channel, but I'm going to go grab my bag and my shoes, and we are going to head out. I'm so excited. I will see you at the salon. Do you still have your extensions in? Yeah, I have one row. What kind? Like what are they, the sewing? Yeah, like the beaded, sewing ones.  Okay, let's share the process. So first, you're clarifying. Yes, I'm going to go in and clarify you three times.  Okay, all throughout your whole head. We're only doing the top part, but yeah. I'm so excited. It's the best. The worst part is the two-day wait period where you can't do anything with it. Just have to leave it pin straight. I'm curious to see how it looks, because I haven't had my hair, haven't worn my hair like that in forever. I feel like you might actually know how I love it. Maybe I might. We'll see. Sure how it was going to look pin straight. If I was going to like it, but I actually love it. I know. Wow. I love the straight hair. I think I need to start doing this more. Thank you. You've got to be kidding me. And she was like flat ironing the last section. I noticed that it was starting to look kind of dark out, and I was like, oh god, I hope it doesn't rain. And then right as we finished, I looked out the window and I was like, oh it is pouring.  I think I have an umbrella. Yes, I do. I have an umbrella in here. Thank god. So I changed my target pickup to a drive-up pickup. So we're going to go do that because I can't get my hair wet for at least the next 48 hours and I do not want to risk ruining all of her hard work because that took two and a half hours. Oh and I wanted to go to Trader Joe's. We'll see. Because the sky, it's like super cloudy here, but then out in the distance it actually looks blue. That's the thing about living on the coast by the beach. The weather could be one way in one spot and then down the road totally different. So I might go to Trader Joe's if it's not raining over there, but if it is, I'm just gonna go straight home. Like I said, completely different weather down the road. And now it's pouring again. So weird. Of course, when I got to target it wasn't raining there so I could have just went in and got my stuff. I got my pickup and then I thought, oh okay well maybe the whole way home it'll be clear and I can stop at Trader Joe's. Nope, it was completely pouring over there, but right now anyway at my apartment it isn't raining at all. So you know what, at least thank god for that and there wasn't anything grocery wise that was like crucial that I needed. Like I still have some stuff here to make dinner tonight so I will be fine. I can wait till tomorrow. And it's probably for the best that I didn't go inside target because I probably then would have been tempted to get Starbucks and look around and maybe buy more stuff that I don't really need. And at least it's not raining here so I didn't get caught in the rain and my hair stayed dry. I don't hate the pin straight hair as much as I thought. I thought it was going to look like really crazy and just like plastered to my head but I am kind of liking it. It's very sleek and my hair seems so long because obviously when it's curled or waved you know it like shrinks up a little bit. Having it pin straight like this I can really see the full length. It's crazy and I do have one row of extensions like I said but that's just to add a little fullness. It's really crazy to think my hair used to be so short and so damaged. That's what we were talking about while she was doing it. How I used to always mess with my hair and go from blonde to silver to black to red back to blonde and I just couldn't leave it alone. I was always bleaching it so it was very damaged and I always had to cut it and keep it really short and wear extensions and I could never grow it long and I think this is the longest my hair has ever been in my entire life and it's just crazy especially seeing it like so sleek and shiny right now. I'm like I cannot believe this is my real hair. That is on patience and leaving your hair alone not overdoing it with the bleach and color. Let me show you the stuff I got from Target because I'm excited to see it myself and I will do a little try on as well. They were having a sale that was going to expire on Saturday and I was like damn it was like 30% off clothes and I was like that is such a good deal so I ordered the stuff online. The first thing is this oversized t-shirt dress. I didn't even realize it was going to be this big. This is definitely I thought it was going to be more of just like an oversized t-shirt but this is definitely more like a dress but I'm not mad at that. I think it's super cute. I love the colors. The next thing I got is another graphic tee. I love graphic t-shirts like this especially like big oversized ones because I sleep in them a lot and they're just so comfy and easy to throw on with some bike shorts. This one isn't as long. This is more of just like an oversized t-shirt fit. The next thing I got is just a plain basic tank looking at it. I think I might have needed to size up to a large because of my boobs but I don't know we'll try it on and we'll see but little basic crop tops like that you can never have enough of or I can't. And then the next thing I got is this dress. How cute. I love this green color and I just thought the cut of it everything just looked so flattering and it's just such a nice like easy simple dress to throw in the summer. You could dress it up or down. Oh next I got another one of those cropped tank tops in black. I didn't even realize. Then another cropped tank top. This one isn't as cropped but I thought this was so cute. I love how vintage looking it is. So cute with some denim shorts or some like jogger shorts. And then lastly I got this brown dress. I hope I end up liking it as much as I liked it on the model. Hopefully it fits okay but I thought this was super cute and another thing again that you could like dress up or down depending how you style it. And now it's raining here. So I got home at the perfect time. I just avoided the rain. Now that I tried on all that target stuff I love everything. I feel like that's so rare especially when I'm ordering stuff online without seeing it in person first. I was expecting out of all that stuff to at least have like one or two things that I was gonna end up returning but I loved everything and I feel like everything fit pretty well. I'm super super thirsty though I'm making some lemon water. That food that I got was so good. I got a chicken kebab platter. So it was like grilled chicken with basmati rice and I got tabbouleh and a chickpea salad on the side. Healthy and it was really delicious. Very filling which is perfect because it's 440 now so I should be good until dinner time. I am gonna go get some work done. I have a video that I need to edit and submit tonight before I go to bed so I'm gonna go work on that and I will catch up with you a little later. I'm just sitting in the dark although I have the brightness turned up on my camera so it doesn't really look that dark to you but it's 819. So the sun is almost completely set and it is going to be pitch black in here in another like 10 minutes or so but I have been sitting on the couch editing for the last three and a half hours. Finally finished my video so that is exporting now. Then I need to actually upload it to YouTube figure out what the title is gonna be fill out the description find all of the links to everything I need to link in the description make the thumbnail picture before I can actually post it and this one also has a sponsor so I have to submit it to the brand first anyway so that they can approve it before I actually make it live on my channel but it's a whole process. So and just for reference like that was a 31 minute vlog and three and a half hours to edit it's probably gonna be at least another hour to like do all the other stuff that I mentioned so like four and a half five hours just to make that one half hour video and I feel like that was a pretty basic standard easy to edit video so that was a quick one other ones can take even longer than that not saying that to complain and be like oh my god it's so hard to do this job no this is like a dream job trust me I know that but um just sharing like the reality of like what goes into it it is a time consuming thing and some weeks I do have like full days that I can just dedicate to doing that and I can just be like okay I'm working from home today this is a work day but other weeks I don't and I have to just kind of like fit that in wherever I have extra time between other stuff I have going on and my salon schedule so it can be a little bit tricky and obviously there are days like today I was out doing stuff all day by the time I got home at five o'clock I would love for that to just be it for my day and to just like chill and unwind and make dinner not have to like sit and stare at a computer screen for a few more hours you know it just is what it is but I'm so grateful that I get to do this that was part of my job it is very surreal to me still even years later but it finally stopped raining so that's good I am going to take Benny out I don't think I showed him yet in this video what are you doing? he was just hanging out on the couch with me while I was working what a cute little boy but yeah I'm gonna take him out for his last potty break of the day you gotta go potty? hmm you gotta go potty? come on let's go let's go potty let's go this laying is terrible okay that's a little bit better I'm about to make dinner I really am not super hungry and I'm also not really in the mood to actually cook and it's so late now now it's 8.35 I just want to have like a little something so I'm just gonna make a salad and I'm literally just gonna do spring mix some cucumbers and I have this really good dressing from Trader Joe's strawberry basil vinaigrette so good so I'm gonna do that and then I also have some of these Trader Joe Thai vegetable yosas and these are super easy because I can just microwave them so that's what I'm gonna have for my dinner I know super exciting so yeah I'm gonna have that really quick and finally just be done for the day I'm gonna see if there's any new YouTube videos to watch I also actually last night I started watching an HBO show Insecure that's pretty good I am only on episode two I need to figure out what I am gonna do as far as washing my face and then sleeping tonight because of the hair not being able to get it wet or get creases in it so I'll see you a little later when I'm getting ready for bed bone apple teeth okay I am ready to wash my face I have one of these like spa headbands the velcros you can get them on Amazon I'll link one in the description and I'm just gonna pull it right up to my hairline so it doesn't like expose my hair but that way I can still like fully wash my face and then instead of splashing water all over my face turns this off because I feel like that could be risky I'm just going to wet a washcloth there we go face is washed hair did not get wet and normally I would sleep with my hair in a low ponytail and I do have this silk scrunchie which is like very loose but I am kind of afraid that it might crease especially when I'm laying on it so I'm just going to leave my hair down and I'll try to just like lay it over my pillow it's crazy though look at underneath here look at that frizz and she did such a good job blow drying my hair like she got it really really smooth she always does she does such good blowouts and my hair on the bottom felt just as smooth and straight as the hair on top when she first did it but it's so humid today and especially when I just went out to walk Benny it literally felt like I was walking into a room of just straight steam it is so wet and damp out there so underneath here is starting to get frizzy and kind of like curl up at the root but everything up top is still perfectly smooth and straight and frizz free and obviously like the keratin treatment is still in my hair right now so I'm curious to see how it will be after you know I wash it out in a couple of days how it will withstand humid days like today after 48 hours I can wash it out and I can do everything normal I should still have curl to my hair it's going to be really relaxed at first but then like as time goes on as I wash it I'll start to get the curls back but I won't have the frizz and she said that most clients love their hair and think that it's perfect and exactly how they want it after the first few weeks so I don't know exactly what my hair is going to look like when it air dries we will see make sure you're subscribed to my channel stay tuned for my next vlog because I will share the big reveal after I wash it for the first time in that video but I'm super excited I'm happy that I did this and I can't wait to see how it looks after I wash it and like the first time I blow dry it how much faster and easier that'll be but I am going to do my skincare and head to bed that's going to be it for this video thank you guys so much for watching don't forget to check the description for my link and discount code to dossier and I will see you very soon in my next video bye


I think we can start our discussion. The item of our workshop today is Russia in 20 years. I think it's the question impossible to answer, because if I take myself 20 years back, 1997, Russia was declaring that it wants to be part of the European Union, probably even of NATO. We drew up four spaces, common economic space, common humanitarian space, cultural space, space of security. And we were on the way to very serious honeymoon. It started in 2003 when new president Putin reconfirmed his European choice, went to Brussels to sign strategic documents, and it was somebody who doesn't like it. So in 1997, 20 years ago, to predict what is happening today in 2017 would be pretty difficult. So it's only the options and scenario kind of a development which we can discuss today. But there are some given. The given is the present situation, and in the short term Russia is coming back to the international stage. As yesterday, during the Middle East discussion, people were rightly saying that Russia is back in the Middle East through Syrian case. Russia is strong enough to be present in many difficult and conflict situations. Russia managed to get through economic crisis the first stagnation and now this year to hopefully 2% GDP growth. Russian economy is totally different from what the Soviet economy was and it's much more flexible and the economy which adapts itself to the new normalcy and the sanctions and low carbon prices. That's short term today. Midterm, we see some risks and difficulties. Russian economy is not what the Soviet economy was in size. Russia in back in 1991 was still 19% of GDP. World GDP now we are 1.5 aspiring to 2. And the economy is not restructured. We have definitely some serious weaknesses and we should cut ourselves to size in terms of our international aspiration and positioning. Long term looks unknown to us as Ambassador Panof said today we don't know what will happen. But as Alexander II our Emperor said the distance is our curse. The distances in 20 years will be no question I think. We discussed today the artificial intellect and many other things and the new industrial revolution number 4 will probably make the distances of Russia which was the curse in many ways, not subject. So long term we could be a leader of the Eurasia which is called a key to the geopolitical control of the earth. Or we can collapse again like the Soviet Union did in 1991 if the policies are not right. That's also a case, a scenario which could be visualized and to discuss all of this we have excellent panel of people who know Russia very well both Russian and non-Russian. And I think that we can easily start the discussion today which probably will bring us to some more clarity on what's going to happen with my country in 20 years.


Hello everyone, today we are going to learn about deadlock. So before starting with deadlock we are going to learn system model for deadlock. So learning outcome of this session are at the end of this session student will be able to describe system model required for deadlock. Now what is deadlock? As we know we have a multiprogramming environment. So in multiprogramming environment multiple processes execute simultaneously in the system and to execute that process the resources are allocated. Now resources can be anything, it can be hardware resource or software resource, it can be memory, it can be CPU, it can be registers. So different resources are allocated to the process. So whenever process requires a resource then that process must request for that resource. If that resource is available then that resource is allocated to the process. This is done by operating system but if resource is not available then what will happen? Process will enter into the waiting state because that resource is not available and process cannot continue its execution. So the process enters in waiting state and that process may never again change its state and it remains in waiting state for long period of time. So resources requested by the process may be held by some another waiting process. So here one process may request a resource which is already held by other process and that process itself is in waiting state and due to this situation all processes may enter into the waiting state and this situation is called a deadlock because no process is executing their task, the processes are in waiting state and no one can perform the task properly and that situation is called as a deadlock, they waste CPU cycles. So first we will see the system model required for deadlock. As we know for system we have a finite number of resources, means number of resources are not infinite, we always have finite number of resources. So if your resources are same then there are different instances of that resources. For example resource means what as I already explained resource means it can be a memory space, it can be a CPU cycles, files, registers, IO devices whatever it is. So if we have two CPU then we can say that resource is CPU and we have two instance for that CPU resource. Similarly if we have five printer then it implies that we have a resource printer but as we have five printers there are five instance of that resource printer. So process must request an instance of resource type means if we have multiple instances of the resource then the process must request an instance of a resource type and if that instance of resource type is available then it is allocated to the process but if this is not possible means if it is not possible to allocate the resource or allocate the instance to that process that means that instances are not identical and we cannot allocate that instance to the process. So as I already told before using any resource process must request a resource. Once process request a resource if that resource is available then it is given to the process, process uses that resource and then after using that resource process must release that resource. Why to release? Because if another process is waiting for that resource if this currently executing process finish its use of that resource then it can release it so that other process can use that resource. So process must release a resource after using it. So the number of resources requested may not exceed the total number of resources available. This means the processes never request a resource which are greater than available resources that means if we have only two printers then system cannot request or the process cannot request for three printers okay. So available are only two then how it can request for three then error message should be generated. So process utilize a resource in following sequence how it utilizes a resource. First it request a resource then it use that resource then it release that resource okay. Now just pause the video and give answer what will happen if process request a resource which is already held by some another process. If the resource is already held by other process then the process will enter into the waiting state okay. Now as I am saying that process must request a resource then use it and then release it. So to request and release a resource processes must use system call okay. Now system call is nothing but a predefined functions in operating system which are used by the processes whenever they need it. So we can say that we have a system call for a device that is request and release means whenever process wish to access a device then there are a system call which are request and release. For files we are using open and close in our programming we use open and close system calls for the file. Similarly for memory we use ALOCK and FREE okay. These system calls are already defined in the system. Then for semaphore we have wait and signal system calls and how these system calls are maintained. Actually these system calls are already present there as a library system library in operating system and whenever process request for a resource at that time these system calls are called. We already know the example of file open and close system call which we use in our programming language. Now what is the role of system table? System table here maintains the record that which resource is allocated to which process and which resource is free by which process. So here system call maintains all the record of the allocation and deallocation of the resources. Now we can say that process is in deadlock state. When we will say process is in deadlock state, when process never changes its state that state is waiting state okay. Now we have different types of resources in the system and that resources are physical resources and logical resources. So how deadlock will occur in the system when we have same resource type that we will see. Now consider a situation that we have three type drives and we have three processes. So here three type drive means what we have only one resource that is type drive and there are three instance of this type drive okay. So that's why it is called as the same resource type. So we have a resource type type drive and we have three instance of that resource type. Now we have three processes so consider a situation that process p1 is already using type drive 1, p2 is already using type drive 2, p3 is already using type drive 3. So all three processes are allocated to all three instance of the resources. Now suppose process p1 make request for type drive 2, p2 make request for type drive 3 and p3 make request for type drive 1. Now as you can see here p1 is requesting type drive 2 which is already held by p2, p2 is requesting type drive 3 which is already held by p3 and p3 is requesting type drive 1 which is already held by p1. So what will happen all these processes will enter in waiting state and once they enter into waiting state they will never release their resources which is held by them okay. So these processes enter into the waiting state and they will never change their waiting state. So this situation is called as a deadlock state and we can say that all processes p1, p2, p3 are in waiting state okay. Next now we have now we can right now we studied the example of same resource type. Now we are saying whenever we have a different resource type how deadlock will occur in the system. So for different resource type consider a system model which have two resources. Now we are saying we have two resources that is type drive and printer and we have two processes. So suppose here process p1 is already using type drive and p2 is already using printer. So p1 now request for printer which is already used by p2 and p2 request for type drive which is already used by p1. Now again the same thing p1 request this resource but as this resource is already held by p2 p1 will enter in waiting state. Similarly p2 request for type drive and as it is held by p1 between enters in waiting state and both p1 and p2 enter in waiting state then they will never release type drive 1 and printer and these two processes never get their requested resource. So automatically system enters in deadlock state. So this is how deadlock occurs in the system whenever all processes in the system enters into the waiting state and they are waiting for each other and all processes are in waiting state so they never change their waiting state and system cannot perform any fruitful task and that situation is called as a deadlock situation or deadlock state and the processes which are in waiting state we can say that that processes are in deadlock state okay. So this is how the deadlock can occur in the system. So these are the references thank you.


We have come to a company here to come and kudu with the family of a great man, a great general. For the short time that I came to know General Gola when we came into government. He was a very amiable man, a committed general, a patriotic man who loved this country. And a humorous man too. We had accidents many days when we were at the airport waiting to receive you. General Gola will keep us laughing throughout giving us his various exploits in the service out of the country and in the other country. In fact, as we saw you off, he remained a commander and all of us were under him. And would sit there with the professor Kendiqi until he gives us in the military parlance the fallout. He would tell us to wait and when he thinks you are safely off to your destination. He will say deputy president and the rest you may now fall out. We were all under his command at the airport and we were with him two days ago at the bombers of Kenya. Again full of humor and full of hope for this country. And we were discussing many things and I think sometimes the futility of life is a bit worrisome. That just the day before we were discussing with him the future of this country, the safety of our people. Here again now we are preparing to bury him. I think I just want on my behalf and that my family to say mama please take heart with your family. Difficult as things are trust that God is in control. We shall continue praying for you and holding you in prayer as you come to terms with this very difficult reality. To our men and women in uniform let us take heart but the general has died in action on duty. And I think that is the pride of every soldier that he died as he served this country. We want to encourage you to get stronger and to continue being committed and faith to your country, protecting our borders the way the general did.


Hi, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Channel. The purpose here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you with hope. Today, welcome to my backyard. It's a little bit chilly still here in Minnesota, but I wanted to be outside. I just really felt like I wanted to be in the greenery and connected to nature. So hopefully that positive vibrational energy will come right in and you'll be able to feel that as you listen or watch this particular video. Today, we're going to have a conversation with George Michael. Yes, we have talked with George Michael a few times prior, but let me tell you how this came to be today. Well, I was in the car and I heard a song, a George Michael song, and it wasn't the first time I've heard a George Michael song. I have had George Michael songs popping in and out for probably the last week to 10 days and I pay attention. Okay, there's this tool that I work with people in intuitive coaching sessions that is called awareness. It's nothing fabulous. It's a tool that nobody uses, that we don't all use that often, which we should use more. Awareness so that when you get information and messages over and over again, they repeat, you got to pay attention. So I followed my own protocol and I'm channeling with George Michael and the specific thing I wanted to talk with him about is mistakes or how we handle or manage when we make a bad choice or a decision that we maybe have regret for. Like, how do we handle that? Because I know that in his lifetime, as many celebrities do, they've made choices that are not the best. So have you and I, but ours aren't like plastered across the tabloids, right? We don't have that. We don't have to deal with that, but they do. So in the public eye, making a mistake and how it feels like that whole like failure concept or disappointing people concept. So we're going to have a conversation about that. Okay, hopefully it'll help you guys too. All right, George, come on in. Yog. Yog. I just have to call him George. I'm just going to call him George if I can. It's weird because he doesn't feel like George to me. He really just doesn't. Yes, I have my Elvis mug. There we go. Yes, from one of you sent me this a couple of years ago. Just watering it tonight. Nice to see you. He's like that. He says, thank you for taking my call. So great. Yeah. Okay, so I'm going to tell people how you look. All right, you guys, color is a really big deal to me. It is information color is its own language. You should pay attention to color too. It's not just your chakras or the energy centers of your body that give you information connected to color, but it also could be an arch angel. I do a lot of work with angels. And if you work with me in private session, you know that I connected with them by a color as well. So George is showing up in kind of this like peachy orange color, a bit of coral, that's what it is, a bit of coral color, very vibrant. So that color is connected with our sacred chakra, which is about dreams and desires. And that is most often where we sometimes take our biggest risks and can have our biggest fears revealed to us. Correct. Yes, he said, he's like, you got it. He's like, you're right on. You're right on, Bridget. You're right on tonight, Bridget. I'm like, thank you. Good. Good. Give me positive feedback. Okay, I could use that. Help me with this channeling stuff. Okay, Mr. George Michael. So the conversation that I'd like to have with you, the topic focused on regret, decision making, maybe taking a risk and having failure or maybe doing just making a really bad choice, like in a moment of what we might consider weakness or whatever it might be, just making a bad choice, you know, whether it be relationships or in business or in our personal lives, that kind of a thing. I know this is a personal. So he's like, yeah, this is a deeply personal. He literally like, you guys okay, so imagery. I'm clairvoyant, which means I'm psychic primarily like my first, my heart, claircentance, empath is the first channel. Let's be, let's be obviously honest about that. But, but my, as my work goes, it's clairvoyant vision and very, very visual. And so he shows me, he literally like unzips like a little hoodie or like a half zip hoodie kind of thing. He literally unzips that and kind of shows me his heart, like vulnerability. Okay, so do you feel that too? Do you feel vulnerable when I talk about mistakes or failures or fear of disappointing other people or risk taking when it comes to your passions, your dreams, your desires, lots of stuff here, right? It's natural to feel that vulnerability and he's literally showing me that. So first of all, can you share why you feel this topic must be important to you or must be it's got to have some kind of key relevance, core relevance to date today to somebody that's watching and to us as a collective because that's not something I'd be just driving along thinking about failures or you know, making bad decisions. Like I haven't been soul searching about regret or anything like that. But all of a sudden, that's like this, this topic that you wanted to talk about that came up today. And that's in the song that was on, I wish I remembered the song, I don't recall it off the top of my head. But so why is that relevant right now? He says, I think it's, I think it's always important to be aware to know yourself really well. And he says, to be on your own side. That's the message is to be on your own side. So I'm going to use the word forgiveness to forgive yourself quickly. But he's like, it's really, he's like, it's sad. It's sad that most people, we just don't know ourselves. He says, when you are a person, when you've got a body and you've got all these great, he's saying all these great senses, all these great sensory things, you know, and you have this body and most often it seems like we don't realize how great that is until we're sick or until we can't move or until you know, we start to age. He says, until it's taken away or you're forced to see how much you really not just need.  You really want that. He's like, you really want that. I'm going to say relationship. And he says, you really want that connection. He says link. Interesting. He says, you really want that link to your body. And he's saying that's the one place I think most people can relate to being the most abusive. He says, Oh, that's a good word. Oh, that's a heavy word. Abusive to yourself is regards to your body. It's never quite enough. It never quite meets the standards, doesn't it? Whether it's for someone like an image for someone like he's saying he's giving me the feeling of like picture perfect or picture ready, like magazines or, you know, interviews, like having to have certain makeup on having to look a certain way and he's saying sun kissed like have to have tan. He's like saying to be to look healthy, like all this makeup and all there's so he says there's so much effort that's presented into the image of the body. And it creates he says it fosters a disconnect. He doesn't say disconnect, but it fosters this severing of a link between your body. And he says the beauty of your mortality, the beauty of your mortality. That is gorgeous. The beauty of your mortality, George Michael from the afterlife. And that the imagery, it's it's it's this illusion of perfection that it's completely unattainable. It's not even something that is even even possible, really. And but we we try and we still try and we still hold people accountable for this completely unattainable. Um, he says stature, not status, but stature. And he's talking about the body, the physical human body. Interesting. Interesting. Okay. So when we're talking about regret or making bad choices and things of that nature, and you're talking about kind of this illusion or these unrealistic, what I'm hearing you say is these unrealistic, and I'm feeling this, it's interesting because I feel it into I hear it into like intellectually, I hear the information, I have the knowledge, wisdom from the conversation of what he's trying to get across the point. But I feel this. The point is about the connection or lack of and the body is the key. It is the common place that we abuse by setting, we abuse ourselves, we sabotage, I'm going to say sabotage, he says abuse ourselves by creating a completely unrealistic goal or a completely ideal unrealistic. Like there's like this picture of what it should be, and it's never that. And he said it can never be that it never is that because usually it's it's the opposite. Like I want my hair straight if it's curly or I need to be fair skinned if I'm tan. And for me, it's like the opposite. I mean, I wish I had golden beautiful golden brown skin. And so it's always kind of like that old kind of thing where you want what you don't have kind of thing. But he says it's much more serious than that. It's much deeper. It's much deeper.  And then strand by strand by strand slowly cut this where we are belittling our devaluing. Thank you. That's a better word devaluing our relationship with this beautiful pristine body that we have. And there's not it's not even about acceptance of it. It's about an appreciation. He says a respect for the body. And there isn't that there isn't that. And he says much a bad decision could be averted if we simply thought of the body and its effect on the body and how we we want what we want from our human experience. Then we wouldn't have he said this desperation to escape the reality that we're in or the pressures that we put upon ourselves that are completely unrealistic. He says it's just unattainable. And I think he says I think it's important to say these things especially now because the link to the human body is extremely critical at this time. You must be in your in your body and embracing the vibrancy the vibrant energy he says vitality the vitality of your body is so essential right now. And the more you can believe in that that that partnership between your body and and your your mind and your soul and and and your your your emotion and and not to make it evil or or speak of it negatively or even blame it. He says it's it's it's something that is he says I I understand that this is a deeper conversation than perhaps what you expected in talking about behavior he says mistakes but it truly is it's it's a setting yourself he says it's like setting yourself up for failure and it's the fear of not achieving something that's not achievable so you're setting yourself up to not to fail to be disappointed and if that's the case and you and it's a pattern that you do over and over and over again you're going to develop a distrustful relationship a disrespectful relationship with yourself he says with yourself and your body then will keep he needs it's interesting because he keeps saying the body will keep the score the body will keep the score and I think that's actually a book the body keeps the score I think that's actually a book you guys you guys I think that's a book has anyone read it the body keeps the score or something like that it's about trauma I just it's about trauma he's saying the body really shows up for you over and over and over and over again yeah it's not perfect yeah sometimes it it your stomach feels sore sometimes it doesn't perform the way you want sometimes it can't run the way you want it to run sometimes it doesn't look the way you want it to look and yet thinking about it is punishing the body for no reason there's no there's not a good reason he says you can't abuse yourself into conforming into forcing change change he says it's very it's this natural process it's got to come from inspiration from from the desire to change not not the the um and he says self punishment and I want to say bullying the bullying of the thoughts about the body and that kind of thing and he's saying this isn't about just image I want to be really clear he says I want to be really clear you guys I want to be clear he says this isn't just about body image like weight or height or your skin or the the way you wear your hair the color of your eyes anything like that it's not it's while those things are all very much a part of our of our construct and our identities he's like that's not what that's just one common that's a really common place to start with this conversation this topic um he says it's like the mind does its own thing but the body doesn't always cooperate and it's not he says it's not because the body is stupid the body your body is brilliant he says your body is brilliant and it is so beautiful it is so if you had any idea how envious those of us here he says here which is like the afterlife like these he literally shows me like bubbles like big bubbles like floating with like a with a person's face in it like our bubbles of light our our spirits he's like showing me this is a beard he's there he's being funny it's like cartoon like and really happy like oh he said if you only knew how much body and be we had from over here he said because there's so much you guys there's so much sensory things that you miss just being a spirit but when you're in the body you have everything access to he's like do you not realize that there's no failure there's only experience it's it's the the human life is about experimenting and trying things so naturally when you try something you don't always like everything you try and you don't always do the right thing the first time and you don't always learn from the first time you try something he's like think about it like if you do a sport kind of a thing like I see like riding a bike or skiing or he's like showing I don't know why he's showing me like water polo or something in the water where they're throwing a ball I have no idea it does not register with me but that's what he's showing me like the pool playing around in the pool kind of thing swimming and all that right um but he's like water polo it's like a sport something in the water anyway I don't know what it is um um okay body energy now I'm stopped because I keep saying I literally okay like they have this um they're like there's like there's really not an envy I should say that you guys spirit doesn't envy the human body but he's trying to portray using these words that inspire emotional response and the mind cannot ignore the emotional response of the idea of the concept of envious of the body and he's like the body provides all the opportunities that you could possibly want because you have access to your spirit you have access to your heart and emotion which is what creates your relationships he says he's showing me the emotions are key to relationship and that's what you want is and he says the links but I say connection okay with other people that's its relationships that's a thing right it's energy okay um and then the mind so the body mind the heart and the soul like you only have access to all those things when you're in a body he says when you're just spirit you don't have the body and he says emotions aren't the same thing through energy we can translate our information into what would be emotional for you to understand because we have experience he's saying afterlife spirits we have experienced that and it's relatable then to you understanding that type of energy the vibration that I'm conveying he says that I'm sharing with Bridget for example I'm sharing with Bridget you can feel that if you let yourself you can so that's what the body it's like so um mistakes or regrets and it kind of feels like he's falling into the form of okay so let's talk about judgment can we talk about that it really feels like the brain is like um the one that tends to be the one that evaluates things that chooses good or bad or that kind of a thing but the body doesn't do that it's like not a willing participant in that no he says no the body will not betray you it always tells you the truth he says your body will always tell you the truth the body is quite intuitive the body is the most psychic part of you your body is your most psychic organ is what he says interesting I didn't know that so when you are assessing risk or you're feeling the fear of something a pending decision a pending choice he says a pending decision he says it's not by impulsive impulsiveness that you make the choice if it is it's simply a triggered response which is based on a fear which will lead to disappointment fear and disappointment he says are very close allies fear and disappointment very close allies very close allies interesting so impulsiveness that's different than like inspired right like having an idea and I'm like oh I want to do that he says and I'm really bad at this I'm guilty of this myself so if I had like regrets it'd be like oh I'm like oh I have this great idea and I just go with it and it's like oh wait a minute I have lots of great ideas not all of them are going to float and I can't do all of my great ideas so I need some step back time to kind of use my discernment to see which ideas stay lit like sparked of light that's kind of how it is right so what's the difference between being impulsive and like just like doing something quickly and and maybe having regretting that like it's not a the best choice versus being like inspired like how do we know the difference between like an intuitive kind of impulse versus just like a I gotta do this now quick before I lose my courage to do it or I I forget or whatever whatever the motivation is what's the difference between the impulsivity peace the impulsiveness like a reaction and an intuition like an inspiration what's the difference says you can feel it you can feel the difference can't you the inspiration feels like woo he says it kind of buoys you up like it literally like the inspiration comes literally like you guys from that like sacral chakra and the hips and the pelvis like rich chakra up into the body like it comes he says comes from the earth kind of the earth he says close to the earth up like really inside you it's really inside you it comes up and it just kind of moves into you and it just feels like this force this energy force it might feel like light it might feel like movement flow it doesn't feel sick or motion sick or or intent like scary or fear-based he says that's that's an inspiration that's an inspirational kind of movement that is inspiring some kind of action he says it's not an outcome really clear he says it's an action different action comes before the outcome that's what he's showing me brilliant now that my friend that is brilliant high five on that literally let's high five can you do it oh my god okay let me put my hand closer here high five oh my gosh you guys close your eyes I'm not kidding try this experiment hello sensory you have a body you have energy you have a soul feel this just high five George Michael right now just do it I'm not kidding come on humor me just try it close your eyes take a breath watch George Michael high five you oh my gosh do you feel that on your hand oh my gosh I'm a little chilly so I have the chills but that's just because of the weather but oh my gosh I literally feel this big warmth energy right here the center of the here on the palm of the hand right here high five to you too my friends high five oh my gosh that was awesome he thanks for that thanks for that moment to teach to give an opportunity for empath to empath energy to energy to connect love that that's awesome thank you for that that was really good so the impulsive piece then tell us about that how was that and I know to me it's like a reaction just like a reacting or a response and in it he says it's interesting it feels like fire like something's on fire and you have to quick put it out put it out put it out so you have to get it out of you he says that's what the impulsive piece is when you're making a decision it's based on impulse it's often he says it's it's a fear of being burned holding on too long like a lack of of confidence in in your own ability to cultivate it or to hold this beautiful idea or gift usually it's something that's hot that's going to burn you and you have to get rid of it right away so that isn't the it's not about timing to make decision he says what is it about then he said it's not the circumstance it's the circumstance the circumstance is triggering you and he says don't run don't run he says what you can do is you ground deeper into your body go deeper into like he's like showing that rich chakra which is at the base of your tailbone like imagine if you were if we were sitting right now on the grass behind me but on the grass cross-legged the very base of your spine where that kundalini energy comes up through the earth right at the base of the tailbone right into the body he's like just instead of trying to get it out go down with it he's like go down into the earth with it like put your hands on the ground imagine your your sits bones your butt on the ground and just connect to the earth he's like go down with it and then let that energy then reformulate recalibrate in a way he says that is that allows and supports an inspired inspired understanding of what the point of that impulse was what was the point of that and he says most often most commonly it's a way to understand and know yourself better and it's about building trust within yourself oh my gosh this is brilliant this is so good building trust within your i'm going to need to listen back to this because this is really fabulous this is really fabulous and i don't know if i'm going to remember in the next time i feel all impulsive like oh my gosh and i want to vent or freak out or be like how dare that person oh my goodness you know or just be like oh really again kind of a thing and i just want to go oh impulsive you know he's like just go down go down with it go down into the earth just really connect root yourself in he's like and and let that go in go down and in down and in not in you not out of you quick but down into the earth he says and let it be like kindling you know like the fire idea of the fire let it kindle and and and and be fuel and resourced for for the best decisions the the next insights the next inspirations that will come through you inevitably come through you but it's building a trusting relationship with yourself or you trust yourself not to face things like i can do it i'm going to face things but to be super centered and know who you are he says and know who you're not don't let reaction rule you and and become this like distraction to you that derails your relationship with yourself and i know because i've been in those places and he says those are dark places those are dark places and you don't want to be there you don't want to be there who okay it's just too chilly

Hajjagena. In this lesson, we're going to talk about that how to write a function in Rust programming language. Let's go to the website PlayRustLang.org. As you can see every program in Rust programming language has at least one function and that is the main function. Let's write another simple function. Let's say that it will print some text to the console. Let's call our function, for example, print me. And our simple function will not have any argument inside it. And inside our function, let's just print some simple text, for example, hi everyone. Now let's call our function outside of our function. Let's call it, for example, here. Let's zoom out our window and let's run our function. And our function call will call our function. And our function will print hi everyone to the console. That's all in this lesson. See you in some next lesson. Bye-bye.
