Woman told to burn house down after discovering cause of broken toilet. She sticks her ear to the walls as she tries to identify where the noisy pipes are. Little did she know, the plumber had no intention of tearing down her wall. She watched as his eyebrows knit together. He peered into the toilet bowl and gently lifted the seat ring. Sophie asks him what he's doing. I'm looking for it, he whispers. Looking for what? It's not every day you experience something particularly terrifying with your toilet. So when North Queensland woman Sophie Pearson began to have issues with her toilet flush, she didn't think much of it. It was just another day in the life of a homeowner. Things breaking down and needing repair was just a new kind of normal. But there was nothing normal about this. Others would have left the house, never to return but for Sophie, it was too late. As a busy working woman, Sophie enjoys her downtime. Her favorite thing to do is to hang out with her horses and dogs. When she's not hanging out with them she's hanging out with her friends and going out to restaurants. Sophie and her friend from out of town came back to the house after a night out enjoying a meal at a Mexican restaurant. They were stuffed and ready for bed. Sophie lived in a small house, so there was only one bathroom. Being a great host, Sophie offered the bathroom to her friend first. She'd wait until after he was done. Sophie entered the bathroom and brushed her teeth, washed her face and carried out her usual bathroom routine before flushing the toilet, turning off the light and going to bed. But there was a problem. I went to the toilet and then I went to flush it and I really had to push down on the button to get it to work, so I was a bit confused, Pearson said. The next morning the same thing happened. She asked her friend if he had the same problem. He admitted he did, but there was something else. He mentioned casually that he thought he heard a strange noise, but he wasn't sure. It was probably just the heavy wind last night he mused. She walked into the door as he left, leading Sophie to take another look at the toilet by herself. She scratched her head as she tried to press the flusher again. It was working fine before this. Before her friend came over. She put some oil around the sift flusher button and tried again. Still stiff. Just as she googled how to fix stiff toilet flushers on her phone, she froze. Her friend wasn't kidding. There definitely was a noise. Thinking it's the pipes acting up, she immediately calls a plumber. While she waits for him to arrive, she imagines the worst. The expensive repair job of burst pipes in walls. Will the plumber have to tear down her wall? She sticks her ear to the walls as she tries to identify where the pipes are. Little did she know, she wasn't listening out for a pipe. Finally, the plumber arrives. Sophie explains to him what she thinks the problem is. But he's not convinced. He bends down and gets to work. First, he applies a sensor to the toilet bowl. If something's here that shouldn't be here, it'll beep. And surely enough, it beeped. He now knew he wasn't dealing with any kind of pipe problem. No, this was something much worse. Sophie watches as his eyebrows knit together. He peers into the toilet bowl and tentatively lifts the seat ring. Sophie asks him what he's doing. I'm looking for it, he replies. Confused, her eyes follow his around the crevices of the toilet bowl. I don't understand, Sophie says, what are you looking for? Instead of answering, he stands and takes a deep breath. He bites his lip as his eyes focus intently on the toilet lid. Another noise. That's the noise, Sophie exclaims, I think it's coming from the pipe and the walls. That's no pipe, he says. He reaches out his hands and lifts the heavy lid. He places it down beside him. Sophie's eyes pop horrified, she jumps back and screams. There, resting in her toilet lid were not one, not two but four big snakes. Sophie lives in an old house with a few floor cracks, so she believed they got in through there and found their way to the bathroom. Luckily, they were tree snakes which are non-venomous and apparently, pretty common in eastern Australia where Sophie lived. But this was not a common discovery. Sophie posted her horrified broken toilet experience on her Facebook, and people were equally as horrified. One user advised her to burn down her house while another commented. I squeal when ants come pouring out after building a nest in her downstairs toilet. I might actually pass out if I saw this. However, not everyone held the same view. A friend of Sophie commented, I'm so cutty, if I were there I would want to make it my pet, but best to leave them be and let them in the wild. I have 12 snakes myself though. Sophie wasn't in favor of keeping them though. She wanted them gone. The plumber wrangled them out for her as she kept her distance. The snakes were later released back into the wild and live in a cane field nearby, unharmed. Thankfully, this wasn't a dangerous situation and everybody got away and scathe. Sophie continues to use her toilet happily and loves her home as much as before. Looks like she won't be burning down her house anytime soon.


SCP-1034 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-1034 is to be contained in a passcode protected safe when not in use. Foundation personnel handling SCP-1034 are required to wear EN-388-XX-44 rated gloves. In the event of accidental skin contact or puncture, the affected subject must be restrained and SCP-1034 rested from subject possession. If subject was cut at any point, SCP-1034 must be immediately rinsed and sterilized. Description SCP-1034 consists of a rusted semi-circular suture needle 5 cm in cord length and a spool consisting of twine approximately 1 mm thick. If the thread is removed from the needle, a second spool appears with the end of the twine threaded through the eye of SCP-1034. This only occurs when the needle is not under direct or recorded observation. SCP-1034 was discovered and filed as evidence by ████ PD pursuant to the arrest of serial killer ████. Agents were alerted to possible anomalous activity when a ████ PD forensics agent was found dead in the same manner as the victims of ████, despite the latter being held in custody. Initial Foundation interviews with ████ describe SCP-1034 and its effects in some detail, allowing for safe retrieval. Was later recruited as D-3826 in an interview the second time. The contents of this second interview are displayed in Addendum 1034-01, D-3826 interview. When the skin or blood of a human, hereby referred to as the subject, makes contact with SCP-1034, the subject loses control of all voluntary bodily functions except facial muscles, lungs, and vocal cords. The subject then begins suturing all facial orifices, beginning with the mouth and progressing to the eyes, ears, and nose. The sutures are loose enough for the subject to breathe through his or her mouth and remain conscious during the entire process. After the process is completed, the subject returns SCP-1034 to the location where contact was first made and remains in a sitting or standing position corresponding to the original position of the subject. The subject then begins to perspire until all moisture has been exuded from the body. If death has not already occurred, the subject dies of dehydration during this period. When handled with gloves or some other barrier between the skin and the needle, the effects of SCP-1034 do not manifest. If the needle is forcefully removed from the possession of a subject, the subject ceases to suture and process with no recorded ill effects. Revision If the needle has penetrated the epidermal layer of the skin, the effects of SCP-1034 remain active until all blood has been removed from the needle. See Addendum 1034-02 Test Log for more details. Bodies that have completed the entire process have a skin consistency comparable to leather and have shown significant resistance to decomposition. The skin of the bodies display hydrophobic properties after the transformation. The skin also displays limited absorption of oils and is most receptive to ██, which was found in large quantities in the basement of ██ at the time of his arrest. Autopsies of the Brain Motor Control Center reveal ██. The bodies pose no threat aside from minor anomalous behavior noted in Addendum 1034-02 Test Log. Addendum 1034-01 D-3826 Interview D-3826 Hello, D-3826. Please sit down. D-3826 Hello, Doc. How did you come into possession of SCP-1034? The needle and thread? Oh, that's a funny story, Doc. I didn't always have that needle. Used to have to do things the old-fashioned way. D-3826 Please answer the question. Found it on one of my work tables with a note on it. D-3826 And what did the note say? D-3826 Enjoy. And did I ever? I can still feel them, you know. More than the old ones. I can look at them and still hear every scream, every plead for. That's not relevant. How did you learn the effects of SCP-1034? D-3826 I threw it to one of my girls and told her to start sewing her mouth shut, and she started doing it.  D-3826 And how did you know to give that command? D-3826 Silence. D-3826 Answer the question. You'd look good as a doll, Doc. D-3826 I think this interview has outlived its usefulness. You'll receive your first assignment in a few hours. D-3826 Addendum 1034-02 Test Log For brevity, only significant tests are displayed. Lead Researcher Doctor D-3810 Subject D-3810 D-3810 Instructed to pick up SCP-1034 D-3810 complies. D-3810 immediately begins to suture his mouth shut, correlating with previous interviews with D-3810 Cries of the stress before the mouth was fully stitched indicate that D-3810 did not have control of his body during this process. Heavy perspiration begins after ears have been sewn. D-3810 remains conscious and attempts to scream. D-3810 presumed dead approximately minutes after suturing began. Body sees perspiration approximately D-3810 Minutes after death. Autopsy reveals a complete lack of water in the subject's body. Lead Researcher Doctor D-3810 Subject D-3811 D-3811 Instructed to pick up the spool of twine. Spool of twine has no effect on subject. Spool of twine is severed from SCP-1034 using ordinary scissors and placed into another room. D-3811 Instructed to pick up SCP-1034 sans thread. SCP-1034 has no effect. D-3811 looks away from SCP-1034 while still holding it. Spool reappears and D-3811 begins sewing mouth in a manner consistent with the previous test. The original spool remains stationary and undisturbed. Note Review of footage indicated a brief obfuscation of the needle by the body of D-3811. Later interviews with researchers reveal that no one was looking at the needle at the time of the thread reappearance. Lead Researcher Doctor Subject D-3826 D-3826 was handcuffed to a chair in a test room. SCP-1034 was revealed and placed against the skin of D-3826. Subject attempted to pull hands through the handcuffs and began squealing in pain. Needle removed. D-3826 ceased attempting to pull out of handcuffs and began pleading to be released. Needle inserted into the skin of D-3826. D-3826 resumed and succeeded at pulling one hand through the handcuffs, grasped the needle and began the suturing process. Autopsy revealed severe skeletal and muscular damage to the freed wrist. Lead researcher Doctor Subject D-3817 D-3817 is instructed to pick up SCP-1034. The suturing process begins. After the mouth has been sewn shut, D-3817 is restrained and SCP-1034 removed from his possession by Agent D-3817 attempts to drag himself towards Agent D-3817 uses the hand previously holding the needle. All other limbs of the subject remain rigid. D-3817 follows Agent D-3817 for approximately 15 minutes and shows no signs of fatigue. D-3817 is subsequently terminated. Lead researcher Doctor Subject D-3821 D-3821 is instructed to pick up SCP-1034. The suturing process begins and is allowed to finish. After SCP-1034 is returned and perspiration begins, researchers cut open all stitches on D-3814. Perspiration immediately stops and D-3821 expresses extreme pain. D-3821 suffers from permanent vision loss from punctures to the eyes. Note, D-3821 claimed to feel a number of people corresponding to the ████ test allowed to complete. Further testing scheduled. Lead researcher Doctor Subject D-3821 The corpses of all previous SCP-1034 test subjects, except D-3817, are arranged in the test room. D-3821 is escorted to the room and immediately collapses and begins screaming. D-3821 did not respond to any commands and is forcefully removed from the room. Addendum 1034-03 D-3821 Interview Explain what you felt when you held SCP-1034. D-3821 I couldn't stop. I couldn't. It wasn't me. I couldn't stop. Did you experience any sensations when holding it? Every stab. I could feel every stab and I kept sewing and I couldn't stop it. I couldn't stop it and it was keeping me. Keeping you. Keeping me. It wanted to keep me. Interesting. When you entered the room with the other subjects, why did you scream? I could see them and they were screaming and I knew it. It wanted me back. See them? Did you regain eyesight? I could feel them. I could feel them and they couldn't stop either. They couldn't stop. I didn't want to go back there. Please don't make me go. I don't want to go back. D-3821 continued to repeat the phrase, I don't want to go back. It would not answer further questions. D-3821 would return to his cell and terminate at the end of the month without incident.

You got to get in front of a bunch of families right away to know if it's something that's going to be for you or not. And how many is a bunch? Like, how many a week? I will dive in deeper later, but... I think part-time you got to be... I think you can run 15 appointments a week part-time. I don't think that's unreasonable. I think you can run... If you're working a nine to five, I think you can run a few appointments at night during the week, and I think you can stack a weekend, you know? That's strong, man. That's strong, because most agents aren't even running 15 appointments full-time. I bet the average insurance agent in the country definitely runs less than five a week out of all the full-time agents, which is just a freaking joke.


So we have a few more driver videos to go, but before we get there, some of you have let me know in the comments that drivers still scare you. And as your instructor, I find your fear unacceptable. Here at Royal Skies, we do not fear our problems, we analyze them, face them head on, and destroy them without mercy.  Anything you've ever wanted to learn is just a matter of knowing where to click. And I will always show you exactly where to click and what to press. That being said, the Patreon squad has requested an additional video dedicated to explaining drivers more thoroughly. So we are gonna try something different. Instead of teaching you how to create a driver, I'm gonna teach you how to understand them. This is the driver that we use to control the finger position in the last tutorial. So how do you understand what's going on here? Well, here's the trick. The only things on this screen that you need to pay attention to are here and here. Everything else is fluff. Just ignore it, just forget about it. This tells you the trigger, and this tells you how we use the trigger. If your trigger value is a rotation, then these two settings will always be set to quaternion and local space. Don't ask me why, just trust me and use them. So if we wanted to understand this driver, we'd look here and see that it's telling us that our trigger comes from a bone named 0.01. And the value that it's specifically checking for is Z rotation. Not X rotation, not Y rotation. This driver only activates when the finger's Z rotation changes. Okay, you still with me? Good. Last, we look at the equation. Now right now, ours is pretty simple.    And I will teach you how to program later, but that will be in a different series. So for now, just copy my equations and I'll teach you how to tweak them for your own rig. The main point is that at the end of all this, we are gonna get a number. And whatever number that turns out to be is gonna appear right here. Because that is where we created the driver. So you may be wondering, what's the point of doing all this work to control this number? Or any of these numbers? Well, the truth is, these numbers control everything on your rig. When you move a bone with your mouse like this, you as the human probably think, I just moved the arm. But that's not what really happened. The way Blenda sees it, you just changed the position of this bone to this and shifted its rotation to that. Clicking and moving things with your mouse is really just a shortcut to controlling these numbers. Now, if you don't like drivers, you don't have to use them. You can have correction bones without drivers. If every time you move the arm like this, you want to manually rotate your correction bone, then go for it. I think it's a giant waste of time, but it's your rig. Just do what's best for you.  As long as you just copy my motions and equations, Blenda will know what to do. And I will be giving you my rig at the end of this series. And it's going to come with all the drivers and correction bones attached. So you can use mine if you're having trouble making your own. So just relax and take it easy. If you enjoyed this video, please don't forget to like, subscribe and ring that bell. Hope you have a fantastic day and I'll see you around.


Bismillahi r-Rahman r-Raheem and assalam o alaikum ladies and gentlemen we are moving ahead last time we talked about the different stakeholders of a company and now we are going to be looking at the most important stakeholder which is the shareholder and looking at the long term shareholder value and rights of shareholders. Now when we look at the shareholder then again when we talk about good governance we are talking about maximizing the long term and again there are strong labour laws to protect the interests of workers in the organized sector and they are validated in terms of the implementation of the law for shareholders. So again there has to be a balance, the balance is that we are trying to optimize the profits for the shareholders but we cannot undermine or compromise or contradict or create a negative environment for the labour because the labour itself and the employees themselves are major stakeholders for a particular organization and that balance has to be basically kept by the management to ensure that once profitability does not hinge and croach or tend to undermine the benefits or the remunerations of the employees who are an integral part of the company. So again in the long term shareholder value you have to keep this balance because we are not talking about the short term but we are talking about the long term, the long activity and also the sustainability of the organization and therefore that balance basically has to be maintained. Now there is much to recommend in law procedures and practices to make companies more attuned to the need for servicing debt and equity properly. Managers must look after the rights of the shareholders to dividends and capital gains. Yes, the primary function of senior managers is definitely that they have to look after the dividends and the capital gains. Why? Because the investment in the company has been done by those shareholders and that investment was done with the primary objective of getting profits or returns on the investment that they have made. Therefore it is necessary for senior managers to optimize and to make their processes and systems efficient and effective so that they can cut down costs and they can increase revenue thereby also making more profits for the shareholder for the dividends and also to get capital gain. So that is also very important. The long term shareholder value also looks at the right to obtain copies of the memorandum of association and the articles of association. So you can just go to the securities exchange commission of Pakistan, file an application, pay the requisite fees and get copies of it. That is not a secret document that is an open document. Shareholder also has a right to transfer his or her shares or other interests in the company and the shareholder also has a right to apply the company law board. So all of these are fundamental rights of the shareholder. The shareholder has the right to appeal to the competent court if there is an issue or there is a conflict, the shareholder has a right to inspect the register and the index of members, annual returns, register of charges and register of investment. So again the shareholder has a right to look at the different documents so that he or she can determine if the company is doing something which is inappropriate or is doing something which is illegal or is trying to undermine the very fundamental value of the shareholder. So again through these different rights they are able to regulate or at least to identify. They are entitled to receive notices of the general meetings and to attend such meetings either through vote or by proxy and they are also entitled to receive a copy of the set to report. So all of these are entitlements of the shareholder because they have done the investment and therefore they have all of these rights and through the right of vote they can also do away with the board of directors or also with the CEO, the CFO or the other C-suite officers or employees within the company they are entitled to receive copies of the annual report of directors, the annual accounts and the auditor's report. So these are very important documents which again enable them to understand the working of a particular organization. They have the right to participate in the appointment of auditors and the election of directors at the annual general meeting. So this is an extremely important thing because the board of directors is being elected and then also the auditor is being selected and it is very important that they should be done professionally, they should be done across the board, they should be merit, transparency and accountability in the appointment of the board and also the auditor to ensure that there is long activity of the business and of the company and the reputation is not tarnished at all. The shareholders also have a right to make an application to the company law board for calling an AGM if they feel that there is any important matter which should be adjudicated or which should be voted upon by the company. The shareholder can require the directors to convene an extraordinary general meeting if there is something which is very important and they feel that either it would benefit the company or it could create a loss or damage the company. So that way they can call these extraordinary general meetings. The shareholders are tied due to inspect and obtain minutes of the proceedings of the general meetings, shareholders also have a right to participate in declaration of dividends and receive his or her dividends duly and also in time. So all of these things are taking place of the shareholder and the shareholder also has a right to demand a poll, to apply to the company law board, to investigate the fears of the company and also to remove directors. So all of this is extremely important and if there is something which is coherently or inherently wrong then they can file a petition to the High Court for winding up of a country under different circumstances and also to participate in passing of a special resolution that the company be wound up by the court or voluntarily. So this is the most important, you can say penalization by the shareholder. This is the most important tool that the shareholder have which they can use in tandem with other shareholders and through the majority they even have the right to wind up the company voluntarily or through court. And therefore if they are not confident with the management or the management is misappropriating funds and doing things illegally then the shareholder and superimpose this particular right and just close down the company altogether. So again all of these things are extremely important and what we see is that through these different rights the shareholder is able to protect their own right of profit maximization and also dividends and of capital gain and on the other hand they can also protect the organization that no mall practices, no illegalities, no criminalities and no inappropriate steps, processes, systems or decisions are taking place because they can apply to the court, they can get a court order, they can put about a status quo, they can apply for voluntary wind up or they can also apply for the court wind up. So they have these different tools which could keep a check and balance upon the management and the existing board of that particular company and therefore the shareholder is the primary stakeholder of any organization. Thank you so much.


Instagram owner Facebook has reversed a ban on a poster for Spanish director Pedro over his new film showing a nipple producing drops of milk. Jair Vardruna, who designed the advert for Madre's Paralayas, has said that the platform should be ashamed for its censorship. The social media company has now apologised for removing the poster. Facebook said it had made an exception to its usual ban on nudity because of the clear artistic context. The film, which will open the Venice Film Festival on 1st of September, stars Penelope Cruz as one of two women whose path crossed in hospital as they prepare to give birth. The promotional image was made to look like an eyeball producing a teardrop. A Facebook spokesperson said they initially removed several instances of this image for breaking the rules against nudity, however made exceptions to allow nudity in certain circumstances, which includes when there is clear artistic context.


And what brings you here today, sir? Well, Julius, I just feel it's an injustice, and I'm pretty sure I know where this is going. The guy's only a reporter. I'm not a reporter, so I'm not covering any industry here.  I'm working tomorrow, it's my day off, and I just feel that this guy's going to America to die, and I just think that's inhumane is obscene. They'll do one of two things. You are not rendered a decision for weeks or months to let them rot there, or they might let him appeal on one point that ultimately he won't win on. There's a lot of incentive to drag it out, the elections, and then also, as Niels Melser says, it's about destroying him. What this process is really about is destroying him. And that's what they've done for almost five years now in Belmark, and then with the seven years, so that's my guess. Do you think it's more likely they'll keep them there and just rotting in prison for a year or the United States until people forget about it? I think the CIA wants an eventual pay. They want to make him pay, and you just had the whistleblower who gave the documents for Vault 7, just got 40 years. They want to make him pay, but they'll make him suffer first. Do you think there's anybody in the higher-ups that can either of these countries that would be willing to stick out their nets for that? No. Nobody that you know of.  This whole judicial process is farcical from the beginning. They've trampling over their own most basic judicial norms, just ignored them. Yeah. This has been an intensely political matter from day one. I understand that you and a few of your colleagues have written to James Cleverly, asking for a full review of Junior Sonders' health. Have you had a reply? No. No reply at all? No reply at all. Here because I think the more people hear the better, and it needs more traction, because honestly, I didn't even know this was happening until a few days ago when a friend mentioned it, and I didn't even know the whole story behind you and you understand. And I think that's appealing, appalling, so I'm appalling. And I think that's mainly because no one's mentioned it, and not enough people have paid attention to what's going on, so I'm here to make sure more people know about it, and there's more people showing up for Junior Sonders. I came today because I was astounded that I had very little knowledge of what happened in the last five years concerning this case. When, to me, it was something that was historical, when it's incredibly current, and when you look into the most basic things of it, it's so clear that it's something that isn't really illegal, and makes no sense when you think that we should have a free press. This goes in direct opposition to that. Would you be joining us for the march? Absolutely. I think very necessary to show the direct presence in front of the government that doesn't seem to be present at all, that the people actually care about this and the people won't change for these kinds of situations. So yeah, that's what I thought. Fantastic. Is that a French accent I'm getting there? Yes, it is. Okay, so there's a fine tradition of active resistance in France, isn't it? There is. I'm trying to perpetrate it here, but yeah, it's very much... I can't look at a case like this and sit at home.  That's very cool to my values, so that's why I'm here. Thank you, Andrew. Thank you, Jamie. Thank you. See you at the House of Parliament. See you.


Ireland leads the field away for the 28 kilometre run down along the mountain ridge at Benmore toward the notorious winding drop to the dam. That's what you call stupidity, I don't see the drops, I'm looking at the road, I'm trying to be precise in what I do and make the most of the road I've got there to use and I try and keep a good timer. Horseswood is the first challenge to lead, leaving an impression on his closest competition. Do you see that thick take off? That's what my 400 brake horsepower does for you. This is not for the faint-hearted and the Australian is unfazed by the road conditions barreling on down toward Lake Benmore.   No, it was good, it was an awesome stage, scary but pretty awesome. Horseswood is fast but pays the price. I don't know, I don't even know what I run over but yeah, just right from flat to ice and can't do anything. No use wrecking the car, we just stopped and changed it. I don't think there's anything as rough and challenging that I've driven in Australia. They tell me that's an iconic stage, I now believe it.

We want to watch him how he performs with this kind of a new medication. This is a medicine if it works, can suppress the disease, can increase his lifespan and can give him a good quality of life. So eventually treating him with newer therapies like tear, using oral tablets like matinem and using these new immunotherapies has been very useful in his kind of a cancer. We hope he does well, he responds very well to immunotherapy. We will like to evaluate him with a scan after four doses of immunotherapy with Neuulimal and then we see how he fares to take it to the further text treatment.

This video is covering email marketing basics, okay? The first thing you need to understand is when you have an email marketing plan, you need to make sure that you have some sort of email system that's helping you manage these databases. Mailchimp is free, constant contact. There's some more advanced ones like HubSpot, you know, those types of deals, right? You always want to leverage your email marketing when you have a customer base that's ready for more information that's already your customer, but you can educate, foster the relationship, potentially cross-sell other opportunities, get in front of their friends, referrals, send them videos that you're producing, whatever it is, really your email database is a free way to contact your customers and get them the information that they want to see and that they could potentially use to, you know, work with you on a different type of product. That's how you best want to use email marketing. Once again, it's free. It's one of the best ways to get the things moving with your brand.


Hello and welcome back. In this lecture, we are going to look at a C++ implementation of merge sort and we are also going to analyze its performance. Here is a quick recap of some of the relevant topics we have already studied. We have looked at the sorting problem in general. Specifically, we have looked at two sorting techniques selection sort and merge sort and for merge sort in the last lecture, we looked at the intuition behind merge sort. We saw that it was basically a divide and conquer strategy and the key step in merge sort is that of merging two sorted subarrays into one larger sorted array. In this lecture, we are going to look at a C++ implementation of merge sort and we are also going to analyze its performance. Specifically, we will count the number of basic steps that are needed to sort an array of size n by merge sort. So, let us quickly recall the basic idea behind merge sort. We are given an array which is unsorted and contains a certain number of integers. We first divide this into two subproblems of almost the same size. So, the original size was n, each of these two sizes is roughly n by 2. Then we solve each of these two subproblems. Basically, we sort the first half of the array and the second half of the array separately and after I have sorted them separately, I take these two sorted subarrays and I merge them together into one larger sorted array that contains all the elements of the original array. So, what were the key steps involved in merge sort? We basically divided an array of size n into two subarrays of roughly n by 2 size and of course, if n is odd then these two subarrays will not be exactly the same size but their sizes may differ by 1 and this was an easy step. Then we recursively sorted each subarray of size n by 2 using the same technique as the one that we used for sorting the original array and the terminal case of this recursion was arrays of size 1. In these cases, the arrays are already sorted. So, we do not need to recurse anymore and we also saw how to merge sorted subarrays each of size n by 2 and if you recall from the last lecture, we saw that this merging of sorted subarrays can actually be done quite efficiently by making a single pass over each sorted subarray. So, how might a C++ implementation of merge sort look like? Here is what a program might look like. So, we have the main function in which I have used an integer array A of size 100. So, I am going to be able to read at most 100 integers. Then I ask the user to give the count of integers that she wants to sort. I read in that number and then I do some input validation. Basically, I check whether the number of integers that the user has given us to sort is less than or equal to 0 or greater than 100. If so, we print an appropriate error message and return minus 1. Note that if the main function had executed as expected, I would have returned 0. Here, there was an unexpected execution because of invalid input. So, I return minus 1. So, the caller of the main function, which is the operating system in this case, can figure out from this return value whether something unexpected happened or not inside the function main. Now, after I have read and validated the inputs, I am basically going to ask the user to give all the integers to sort and I am going to read them in a simple for loop and I am going to read them in the array A. So, note that the elements are now going to be stored in A0 through An minus 1. After I have read the elements, I am going to call merge sort, pass the array A to it and say that the starting index for the elements to be sorted is 0 and there are a total of n elements. So, basically, I want to sort the elements A0 through An minus 1. And after that, we could have some other code which does something as yet unspecified with this sorted array and finally, we return 0. Now, what does the function merge sort look like? Here is how it might look like. So, let us first look at its precondition and post condition. As a precondition, I require that the starting index in the array should be less than the ending index and both must be within the array bounds of A. As a post condition, we are going to guarantee that the part of A between the indices start and n minus 1 will be sorted and in this particular case, since we are interested in sorting in decreasing order, so this will be sorted in decreasing order. Note that I have passed an integer array as a parameter here and if you recall from our lecture on selection sort, when I pass an integer array, basically inside this function, whenever I refer to the array A, I am really referring to the same array that the main function used when it called merge sort. This is not copy by value. This is not call by value anymore. So, what do I do inside the function merge sort? The first thing I do is to check for the termination case of the recursion. If the sub array of interest has exactly one element, then n would be equal to start plus 1. There is nothing else to do because an array of one element is already sorted, so I simply return. Note also that merge sort does not return any value, so its return type is void. Otherwise, if the sub array of interest has more than one elements, I first find out the mid index in the sub array of interest. So, this is simply start plus n over 2 and then I am going to recursively call merge sort twice once for the sub array of A starting at start ending at mid minus 1 and then for the sub array of A starting from mid and ending at n minus 1. Once these two calls return, I know that these two sub arrays, the part of A between start and mid minus 1 and the part of A between mid and n minus 1 are already sorted. After that, I simply need to merge these two sorted sub arrays to get the entire sorted array A. So, that is accomplished by calling this function merge sorted sub arrays, which takes the array A and the two sub arrays in there, the two sorted sub arrays in there are from A start to a mid minus 1 and a mid through a minus 1. And finally, since merge sort does not return any value, I simply return from here. So, this is the key step in merge sort. How do we merge two sorted sub arrays? Let us see how this function might look like. So, to merge two sorted sub arrays, our precondition is that the two sub arrays A start through a mid minus 1 and a mid through a n minus 1 are sorted in decreasing order. And the post condition that we want to guarantee is that the entire sub array from A start through a n minus 1 would be sorted in decreasing order. Now, inside merge sorted sub arrays, what do we do? We actually have two counters or running indices, one for the first sub array and the other for the second sub array. So, I will be the running index for the first sub array A start through a mid minus 1 and J will be the running index for the second sub array a mid through a n minus 1. I am also going to use an integer array called temp A of the same size as the array A, which is passed as a parameter to this function. In our case, the size was 100. And I am also going to use an integer variable called index, which is initialized to start. This temp A array is basically where the merged and sorted sub array is going to be temporarily stored. And later on, we will copy the merged and sorted sub array from this temp A back to A. This integer variable index basically tells us where the next element of the merged and sorted sub array should be stored in the array temp A. So, let us see how we might use them in doing this operation of merging sorted sub arrays. So, here is our central and important merging loop. In this loop, I am going to initialize the running index for the first sub array to start the running index for the second sub array to mid. And I am going to iterate in this loop as long as there are elements to examine in either of these two sub arrays. So, as long as either i is less than mid or J is less than n, I am going to iterate in this loop. Note, I have not incremented the values of i and j over here in the for loop. These will be incremented appropriately within the body of the for loop. Now, what do I do within the body of the for loop? I have to determine whether a i coming from the first sub array a start through mid minus 1 or a j coming from the second sub array a mid through a minus 1. I have to determine which of these two should appear next in the sorted order. And I have to update temp A index accordingly. And if I have basically copied a i to temp A index, I have to increment i. If I have copied a j to temp A index, I have to increment j. And of course, then I must increment index. So, the next time around, the next element to appear in the sorted order would be stored in the next position and temp A. Now, if I take a closer look at the merging loop, then there are two cases to consider in the merging loop. First is when none of the two sorted sub arrays have been fully seen yet. Basically, both i is less than mid as well as j is less than n. And the other cases when one of the two sub arrays is already fully seen. Now, this is the easier case when one of the two sub arrays is already fully seen. What do we do then? We simply copy elements from the other sub array to temp A. How do we implement this in C plus plus? Here is a simple piece of code to do that. Basically, we check if i is less than mid, then certainly the sub array from a start through a mid minus 1 has not been fully seen yet. But since I am in this else part and therefore, it cannot be the case that both the sub arrays have not been fully seen. Therefore, it must be the case that one of the sub arrays has been fully seen. But since i is less than mid, it must be the case that the other sub array, the second sub array, the sub array from a mid through a mid minus 1 is fully seen. So, in this case, I will simply copy a i to temp A index and increment i. The other case is when I have fully seen the first sub array a start through a mid minus 1 and therefore, I am simply going to copy elements from the second sub array to temp A. So, a j will be copied to temp A index and j will be incremented. What do we do? When none of the two sub arrays have been fully seen yet, we have to find out which of a i coming from the sub array a start through a mid minus 1 or a j coming from the sub array a mid through a and minus 1. Which of these two a i or a j should be the next sorted element and I must copy that element to temp A index and I must increment i or j appropriately. So, this is how we do it. We basically check if a j is greater than a i. If so, then I am going to copy a j into temp A index. Recall that we are trying to sort the array in decreasing order. So, whichever one is greater, I will copy that into temp A at the current position index. And because I have copied a j to temp A index, I must increment j. Similarly, if a j is not greater than a i, then I will copy a i to temp A index and I will increment i. So, overall, this is the whole story of the merging loop. And if you think back about it, it is actually not a very complicated piece of code, but it is doing something remarkable. It is taking two sorted sub arrays each of size roughly n by 2 and it is generating one merged and sorted array of size n by passing over each of these sorted sub arrays exactly once. As you would notice that i is only incremented, j is only incremented and which means that I am basically going over each of the sorted sub arrays only once from its starting index to its last index. After we have merged the two sorted sub arrays, we then need to copy the values from temp A to A at all the indices from start through n minus 1. So, this is done by a simple for loop over here, where I have reused the running index for the first sub array here to denote the index which I am copying from temp A to A, the value at which position I am copying from temp A to A. So, if you now think back about the basic steps that we required in merged sorted sub arrays, this is the key function. We were basically required to read two array elements, compare them, write one of these elements in temp A and also increment the indices. So, I can think of this as one basic step and I also required to copy an element from temp A to A when I was copying the entire array from temp A back to A. So, let us count how many basic steps would merge sorted sub arrays required if I started off with two sorted sub arrays each of size n by 2. Well, since I am iterating over each of these sorted sub arrays in a single pass, so at most n by 2 basic steps would be required to iterate over each one of them. This basically means that at most n by 2 plus n by 2 or n basic steps are required to get the merged sorted sub array in temp A and finally, of course, I have to copy temp A back to A, so n basic steps are required over there. So, overall at most two n basic steps are required if I feed two sorted sub arrays each of size n by 2 to merge sorted sub arrays. Now, how many basic steps would the whole of merge sort require? Let Tn denote the maximum count of basic steps to sort an array of size n by merge sort. If you look at how merge sort operates, it basically recursively calls itself twice with half the array sizes and then it merges the two sorted sub arrays. So, Tn should be equal to Tn over 2 to account for the first recursive call of merge sort plus another Tn over 2 to account for the second recursive call of merge sort and then plus 2n which is to account for the call to merge sorted sub arrays and of course, the termination case here is T1 whenever array of size 1, I need exactly one basic step and if you go ahead and solve this recurrence relation using standard techniques, you will find that Tn is roughly the ceiling of 2n log n of log n base 2 plus n. Now, compare the number of basic steps required in merge sort with that required in selection sort. So, I have sort of plotted it here for different values of array sizes from 10 through 100. The blue bars show how the number of basic steps increase in selection sort. The orange bars show how they increase for merge sort. Clearly, merge sort is a winner here compared to selection sort. So, merge sort is expected to be much faster than selection sort for large n. So, in summary, we looked at a C plus plus implementation of merge sort using recursion. We analyzed its performance by counting the number of basic steps required to sort an array of size n and clearly merge sort wins over selection sort for large n. Thank you.


The Agriculture Ministry has been collaborating with the Sufra Marine Management Agency to address water quality issues in Sufra's watersheds and bay through strengthening policies, monitoring water quality, and public sensitization. The recently held Water Quality Awareness School Public Sensitization Fair brought together many sector agencies to demonstrate the effects of water quality on their organizations and the benefits of good water quality to students and the general public. Parliamentary Representative for Sufra Honourable Emma Hippolit emphasized the importance of community involvement in water quality protection as it directly impacts their individual health, environment, livelihoods, and industries. I also implore you, the students, to be champions today for better water quality in Sufra by reminding your parents of proper garbage disposal practices. Students, I want a commitment from you today. Will you be champions of better water quality for Sufra? Yes. We also have some farmers here today and we also want to ask you the farmers to protect our water catchments by not cutting down our trees and by not using toxic chemicals up in the forest and in the catchment areas. You can do it and we can do it. As the Agriculture Ministry continues its thirst towards increased food security, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development, Honourable Alfred Prosper, says the onus is on the public to take action to protect water quality as it directly impacts agricultural production. Today, we are reminded to take time to consider how important our water resources are, not just to us as humans but also to other inhabitants of these ecosystems, whether it be the fish, plants, or animals that rely on these water resources just like we do. We need to think about the things that we do on a daily basis that could have a negative effect on our water quality. We share the water just as we share the air so it's our responsibility to make a difference. Minister Prosper says that initiatives to strengthen water quality on the island will continue as the Agriculture Ministry proceeds with a series of actions to aid in St Lucia's natural resource preservation efforts. From the Communication Unit of the Ministry of Agriculture, I am Anisia Antoine reporting.


Hello, Yolo County. I'm Dr. Amy Sisson, Yolo County's health officer. I'm here to talk to you about some upcoming changes that will be happening with the vaccination process. You may have heard in the news about the state's My Turn registration platform and Blue Shield of California assisting in the statewide vaccine rollout. Recently, the state of California partnered with Blue Shield to help optimize and accelerate COVID-19 vaccine distributions in tandem with the My Turn registry. During the month of March, Yolo County will be transitioning to both My Turn and the Blue Shield Run Vaccine Provider Network. Well, we hope these transitions will ultimately improve access to vaccine. As with any new system, there will be growing pains in the beginning. I ask for your patience over the next month as we work with the state to get the new system running smoothly in Yolo County. Right now, we're asking those who live or work in Yolo County to register at myturn.ca.gov to receive a notification when it's your turn to get vaccinated. Soon, providers in Yolo County will be posting appointments that you'll be able to sign up for when you're eligible. Some of you may receive a special code to sign up for an appointment in My Turn that is targeted at certain people like vulnerable seniors or frontline workers in certain sectors. If you don't have internet access, you'll be able to call a toll-free number to sign up for an appointment through My Turn. The operators are able to speak several languages. That toll-free number is 1-833-422-4255. The network of vaccine providers being assembled by Blue Shield will likely include many of the same providers who are already administering doses in Yolo County. So, the average resident shouldn't notice a change as part of the transition to the Blue Shield network. Most of the changes are taking place behind the scenes and affect how the vaccine is allocated to providers. For example, under the new network, community clinic providers will get their vaccines from the state rather than through the county health department. For more information about the Yolo County COVID-19 vaccine process, visit www.yolocounty.org slash coronavirus-vaccine. Thanks for listening.


This topic is going to get deep. Hey friends, it's Madison Harnish back in my blue kitchen for another crazy video. And well, crazy is definitely the right word to describe this because this video is going to be a little bit different today. Today I'm going to be talking about how MLMs target stay-at-home moms. So we're really going to dive into MLMs and their connection and targeting of stay-at-home moms. And then after that, I do want to talk or touch a little bit on the anti MLM community and how maybe we can be more effective at influencing change on MLMs as a whole. If you enjoy deep dives into scams and unethical business practices, you'll probably like this channel. So please subscribe and maybe even click the bell so you can be notified when I upload a new video if you want to. And well, let's get into the video. If you're familiar with multi-level marketing companies, then you're probably familiar with the type of recruits that they normally have, the humbots, the Karens, the Facebook moms. But have you ever wondered why? Why do MLMs go after the stay-at-home mom types? And why do a lot of these women join? Well, first, I want to go into some posts from MLM distributors that are very, very obviously targeted towards this demographic so that maybe we can learn more about the tactics that MLM distributors use to target and recruit stay-at-home moms. Hard is struggling to put food on the table. Hard is parents saying no to their kids all the time. Hard is dropping your kids off at a daycare so they can spend their days with someone else. Hard is paying those daycare fees after working all week. Hard is having to ask your parents for money.  Hard is missing moments. Hard is wondering how you're going to pay your rent or bills. Hard is not being able to fill up your gas tank to full, leaving you with half a tank or less until the next payday. Hard is arguing with your significant other about finances. Hard is working a 40-plus hour week and never being able to afford a holiday. Hard is living paycheck to paycheck. These are daily struggles for so many people. This business is not hard, nowhere near as hard as some of the things I've listed. Being able to make an income from home has changed my life and so many others. I get to spend all day with this precious girl and my amazing man because of this business. If you're ready for a change, comment below. You can see from this post that this person is targeting people that are dealing with very specific issues that have to do with childcare, that have to do with affording their family, having a lifestyle where they can spend time with their family and still make a decent income. These are topics that most stay-at-home moms can relate to and it really, really plays on their emotions. You know, you feel guilty for having to say no to your kids. You're upset that you're struggling to put food on the table.   And posts like these are preying on those emotions that a lot of not only women but of course men that are family members really feel. Here's another post. The top is kind of cut off but this is more the important part.  I hated it. I missed so much. I'm so grateful someone shared this gift called Unique with me a few years back that has changed my life in so many ways. My favorite thing now is that I raise my babies, I kiss my boo-boos. I'm the primary influence. I never miss a moment and I never thought that was going to be possible for us. So what frustrates me about this is it's very predatory because we all know that FTC has done a very extensive study on how many people make money in an MLM company and 99% of people lose money, 99%. So we know for a fact that this person is not making money but this post is aimed as if they're this successful business entrepreneur type of person that now gets to have it all and raise their children as well. It's a dream, a false dream that a lot of people want so badly and so it's really targeting vulnerable people who are feeling guilty for not spending much time with their children and are feeling guilty for having to work long hours so that they could provide for their children. It's illegal to make false income claims but to say that you have time with your children and that you have a life now where you can provide for them, that's not exactly making false income claims which is why they're able to make this claim so often. This one. Okay, so I know I'm not the only mom who is just madly in love with their kids and would do anything to stay home with them.   Yes, because most moms are in love with their kid. This speaks to most mothers and saying I would do anything to stay home with them. That's such a guilt trip. It's mom's guilting other moms for businesses that they have to run, for jobs that they have to have. It's mom's shaming other moms.  Let's stop.   No, I just know that I'm not going to make any money in an MLM scheme and that I need to actually provide for my children so they can go to college and have a future because I do love my children. This is shaming mothers who feel that way. It's shaming mothers who need to work and bring in income for their family and I'm just so disgusted by it if I'm being honest. Did you know 70.1% of mothers with children under 18 either have a job or are looking for work?  Why leave them if you don't have to? I started this business at 19 and within only six months, I built myself a full-time income on top of $22,000 in bonuses just from Facebook. Also, I never have to leave this little girl again. I want to help you do the same with a little diamond emoji. Well, like I said, the FTC found that 99% of people in MLM companies lose money, lose money and that has to do with profit. So not just the money that you have coming in, but the money you're spending on a business. A business that spends more money than it makes will run out a business. Trust me on that one from experience. Like actually, it doesn't even necessarily matter how much you make, but I still would very, very much doubt that she's built herself a full-time income personally off of statistics. This I think is a really important post made by someone defending herself and why she thinks that joining an MLM company is not in the best interest of her children. So I'm going to read that one. Ah, another MLM. So what's the amazing thing about this then? Magic dust pills, emu oil. The MLM rep says no magic over here, just an opportunity to work from home. As we know, this is not necessarily the case. Working means it's a real job providing real income and unfortunately most MLM companies don't provide you real income. Then this person says, just like all the other opportunities that prey on people who need money and brainwash them for your own gain, sacrificing friends for downline, lying to potential customers, spending hours and hours posting your adverts in any group you can find. That's no opportunity. It's a burden to everyone, not just the poor schmuck that is scraping the barrel of the oversaturated market trying to get their cut of the profit, which... Wow, she could not have explained that better. Then the MLM representative said, Is it really a burden though? When I'm currently sat here on a free leaders retreat in Spain with my team, as I type this, I can't help but disagree with a few of your points. But that's fine for all of us to have opinions, have a lovely Sunday. And then this person responds, collapse back. Yes, it is. When I am on Facebook, I am not spending time with my family. When I am answering emails, I am not listening to my partner tell me about his day. When I'm in a retreat in Spain, my children are missing their mummy because I am being selfish and not thinking of their needs first. Start living in the real world.   There are some very vulnerable people out there. And I pray that you do not get your hands on them and exploit them just as you yourself have been exploited and brainwashed by your upline. And while that's a really harsh message, I have to agree with what she's saying. I have to agree that a lot of these MLM humbots claim that you're spending time with your family, getting to be there for your children. But when you're replying to Facebook comments constantly, when you're constantly wrapped up in the MLM world of retreats and conferences and conference calls, you're not actually spending time with your kids. You're still working. It's the same thing as any other job. Same exact thing.  In fact, I would say I think it's more respectable to be a stay-at-home mom and fully care for your children than to join an MLM where you're distracted with going in all these groups, trying to secretly advertise your product, message and spam people instead of actually spending time with your children. In my opinion, just being a stay-at-home mom is more respectable because you're actually not losing money to an MLM scheme. It's strange to me because most of these posts are moms targeting other moms. Since they're similar and they've dealt with similar things, they know exactly how to pray on other mothers' emotions, how to hit them where it hurts, and how to make them feel guilty and rope them in to this business opportunity. They know exactly what to say to make a mom feel like signing up for an MLM is the best thing that they could do for their children, when in reality, it's really not. But an important distinction that I think needs to be made in the anti-MLM community is that MLM distributors that are targeting vulnerable mothers are vulnerable mothers themselves that have been targeted. They themselves truly believe that MLMs are the best things for their family and their children because they were convinced when they were vulnerable in the exact same way that they're trying to convince others. I want to read a part of this reddit post that's from a marketer's opinion that explains why MLMs target stay-at-home moms. Stay-at-home moms are often lonely and crave social interaction. Husband is off at work, mom is spending a lot of time in the house and taking after the kids. Mom is not getting time for social interaction with other adults. Mom is pressured for time, right? Kids' activities, housework, running errands. She doesn't have much time to herself, let alone to take on a job or launch a business of her own. And mom should be able to do it all, have it all. And if they settle for just being a homemaker, then she must not be an empowered woman or trying hard enough. Now, imagine I'm your friend or relative, someone you have trust with and an upline recruiter. Hey, hun, I was just thinking about you. I started my own business and I was thinking you'd be perfect member for my team. Do you want to earn some extra money to help your family? All it requires is a small investment to get started and you can earn as much as you want. Based on how much time and effort you put in. Oh, you don't know anything about marketing or selling? That's okay. We can teach you everything you need to know.  We girls have to watch out for each other, you know. So then he described something that I'm familiar with from my own personal studies with marketing. There's a few different types of people, but the main two sectors of people are those that value logic over emotions and those that value emotions over logic. People that are very easily influenced into making a purchasing decision or a life decision based off of emotions and will at times completely ignore logic if their emotions are strong enough. And this marketer says, MLMs firmly target the emotions over logic camp. Does it matter that they're not actually a business owner, that they're not actually an entrepreneur, that they don't know how to evaluate profit and loss, that they don't know what the word profit actually means, that they don't know anything about how to analyze if a product or service is competitive and that their entire customer model is flawed? No, because their emotions have been manipulated to drown out all of that with vague information, promises of success and leveraging their emotions and insecurities against them. You don't need negativity in your life, hun. They're just haters. I think that this is a very, very important distinction to make because emotions influence us and they influence how we act. If we feel such a strong emotion, like love for our children, love for our family, which is the strongest emotion that a mother can feel, if we feel that emotion and someone plays with that emotion, they prey on that emotion, they rope us in with that emotion of love for our family and make us feel that if we join this MLM, we'll be doing what's best for the people we love. That will trump all logic. That will trump what anyone else can say because these women love their family and they are convinced that what they're doing will be best for their family. Even further, if they truly believe this, then their actions can be manipulated because at the end they're doing this for their family so they will do whatever it takes, which includes all the scammy emails, all the manipulative practices and even the really, really crummy things that a lot of women have said that I've even reacted to on my channel here. A person can easily be swayed into doing things like that if they feel like they need to do it for the sake of their family. Unfortunately, this has affected so many female friendships. As women target other women, it's caused a lot of cruelties within groups of mothers and women friendships. Chicago Tribune has an article titled MLM ruining female friendships. There's a quote in there where a woman says, I thought I had made a genuine connection with a mom I met online and a mom group. But then this woman declined the MLM representative's offer to join her Beachbody team. And that MLM rep that was part of this mom group that this woman thought she was becoming friends with completely stopped talking to her and completely shut her out. It really hurt. I even invited her and her child to my son's first birthday party.  And other women have claimed that they've experienced being constantly pursued for a get together by MLM friends to the point where they feel like they're being stalked.  And it's just overall not good. So where does this kind of predatory behavior come from? Why do so many women go from your friend or a family member to the infamous humbot that's sending robotic like cells messages to everyone they know? It's how they're taught to act. These vulnerable women are all of a sudden told they're so solution to all their problems and are submersed in a culture where acting aggressive and predatory is the normal.  Well, I believe MLMs are really just a larger version of this. I remember a time when I was in a really toxic friend group and I said things that I didn't really believe in morally as a person. And I did things that I didn't agree with or looking back, I thought were terrible things to do. But at the time I felt like I was clouded by the noise of what these bad friends were saying and swayed into doing things that I would have normally never have done. We see it in the beach body video that I made where I talk about the training material that's distributed to MLM representatives and it's telling them and encouraging them to do things that are immoral and it's from the company itself. These kinds of actions all come from the top. The CEO of Beach Body, for example, who I must note is not a stay-at-home mom, encourages everyone to act this way in his company and you can see it from his Instagram posts. There's that infamous post of Carl with his Shakeology shake that says, cheers to everyone dealing with all this anxiety and turbulence and my heart goes out especially to those already affected by this illness. I appreciate the healthcare system which has to manage its normal day-to-day operations and at the same time anticipate being overwhelmed by the reality and fear of COVID-19. And more than ever, I'm proud of the trainers, coaches and customers who promote a healthy lifestyle every day to help people avoid the situation altogether. Smart nutrition choices exercise at home. Avoiding contact is an important defense. Building and reinforcing your health and immune system is important offense. Unknowingly, our business model of people helping people right from home and our product offering of in-home fitness and a healthy nutrition has turned us into an important resource during an acute situation. Calling all heroes, let's get to work. So the CEO of Beachbody is encouraging all the Beachbody consultants during this time to be reaching out to people during a vulnerable time when people can't spend money, when people are losing their jobs and their loved ones are dying. He is encouraging his consultants to be reaching out to people with this business opportunity. This comes from the top.  You're gonna think it's fine. Right there, you have an example of how all of these actions are coming from the top and encouraged. There is that whole post of the guy with the sign that says, stop posting your home workouts. And he posted a sign saying, keep posting your home workouts. You're inspiring people. And he said, if us weekly thinks it's a good idea to use their platform to belittle the heroes who are inspiring millions to stay active, see second photo. I'm gonna use my platform to turn it around to show you the love and celebrate you heroes, no matter what program you're doing. Also, can I just make note? He's using the very targeted and very intentional word of heroes to try and uplift his consultants and make them feel empowered with what they're doing, which is reaching out to people during this very vulnerable time and trying to recruit them into their business. It's not a heroic thing to do. The real heroes are the doctors, the food service workers, and the people that have to work right now to help save others. It's not people who have been working for homes selling fitness classes. And you see how manipulative this post is. He's encouraging people to be proud about what they're selling, to be out there encouraging them to continue to push their MLM products. And the way that he's wording it is very manipulative to make you feel empowered to be doing so. They're genuinely told that they are heroes for doing this, that they are heroes for pushing their product on vulnerable people right now in this time. They're being told that they are heroes.  And of course they're gonna keep doing it. And they are going to get so clouded with this idea of being a hero that they're not going to be grounded back to the real world of logic and what's morally and ethically right in this time. When I compare MLMs to cults or to mean girls, it's because they submerse you in their culture and encourage you to do things that people on the outside see as predatory or wrong. You become so involved in the social aspect and the conferences and the hype that you lose sight of the fact that you're not really making any money and become out of touch with reality. It's a trap that we all could fall into. And a lot of us did. You can see the countless videos and stories on a ton of different people's MLM experiences that have come out of the MLM and realized how wrong it all really was. And this is why I have to talk about my next topic. I really have to confess, lately I've been feeling really conflicted with the anti MLM community. I see myself as a part of this community and see sources like r slash anti MLM on Reddit as incredible resources that have brought to light a lot of the unethical recruitment practices that a lot of MLMs use. I love so many anti MLM YouTube channels so much that they inspired me to make anti MLM content myself. But I've been reflecting on some of the ways that I have been reacting to the posts made by MLM representatives. I think that there's a really negative tone not only against these MLM companies but against the women in these MLM companies. And I'm not sure how I feel about it. I feel like it's important to bring these shady practices and unethical posts and comments to light. I really do. But I don't think it's gonna create any real or positive change unless we change our approach. And here's why. These women are us. We are on the same team. We are working towards the same cause. 90% of my audience is women. And while I appreciate and love the 10% men who are watching my channel and do think that you guys can help with this cause too, I also want to point out the irony in these analytics. The anti MLM community and the MLM community have much of the same people within them. We are on the same team. These women are not evil or malicious. Well, most of them. Most MLM representatives are just vulnerable people who have been targeted and have had their emotions manipulated and used against them. Most people in MLMs are women very similar to those that watch my channel who have just been convinced that MLMs are the best solution out there to their problems. And they've been taught that they have to act a certain way and have been submerged in a culture where acting predatory and aggressive is accepted and encouraged. I think that this was best said actually in a wonderful anti MLM channel, Kiki Chanel in this clip right here. And they can take advantage of that. If you think about it, no one's ever joined an MLM when they were at the peak of their lives, right? Nobody ever starts these things when they're just living large doing great. It just doesn't happen that way. They prey on vulnerable people and that's what they attract. These women are vulnerable women at bad times in their life who are desperate to make things right for themselves and have been told that this is the way when it's not. These women are our friends, our family members and our loved ones. And they're in a toxic relationship with an MLM company. When they view videos or posts of people reacting to those in their MLM community in a negative way, all that they are going to see is haters. And what do MLM appliance say? You don't need negativity in your life, hun. They're just haters. And that's all that they are going to see and any hope of getting any message across will be completely lost. It's like when you're in a toxic relationship and someone tells you that that person just isn't good for you or isn't healthy, all you're gonna say is they don't know what they're talking about or my relationship is great. They're just a hater because they're single or they're just jealous. I think the same applies for people who are sucked into an MLM company. I still have hope for many of these MLM distributors and I think that they are capable of seeing reality and doing good. While I still believe that MLM representatives who do shady and unethical things need to be called out for it. For example, this post that a subscriber sent to me of an MLM representative targeting someone with cancer and guilting them saying that they have to join the MLM so that they can leave something behind for their son. That's disgusting and immoral and no matter what should be called out and that person should be shamed for. But I also believe that love and compassion needs to be a part of this movement. There are no sides, no MLM versus anti MLM. There are no women hating other women. All there are are vulnerable women in a toxic business structure and concerned women and men who are trying to help them. This is why I'm going to be uploading another video today. It's a short video that's aimed to be a positive message that you can send to women who are currently in an MLM. This video is going to be kind and compassionate but also depict the harsh realities of joining an MLM company. And hopefully this video will be moving and convincing enough that we can cultivate a positive message for those that are currently sucked into MLM companies and let them know that they have love and support and that they are capable of greater and better things than being a part of an MLM company. Let's all remember that the real evil are the MLM companies themselves that cultivate unethical practices, not the people who are victims to these companies. And that's the end of my rant. I hope that my message comes across and you guys can see my intent with this video. And if you like this video, definitely give it a thumbs up and share it. I really want to spread this positive message. I think that it's essential to the movement that's being created at this moment. And I hope you guys are staying safe and healthy and doing well. And until next time, have a good one.


Alberto Bartolini is a doctor who works at Santor Sulla Hospital in Bologna, Italy. Lately, a near-resilience accompanies his way to work in the morning. It has a strange effect. It really seems to be a bandit in nothing, because it doesn't feel full at all. Inside the hospital, reality is much more turbulent and tragic. The sudden influx of patients is something that he describes as a tsunami that hit without a warning. I believe that something like 2-300 patients will be at least recovered. In the intensive care unit in which he works, there are about 60 people in critical conditions. One case in particular stands out. I'm sure they will be surprised at some situations. We have always had an example of a husband and wife. Dr Bartolini hopes that this pandemic will at least make our society reconsider its priorities. I hope that this will return a little bit to the people. The taste of life and the value of people. The doctor added that this emergency is creating a stronger bond within the medical staff, as they all fight together for the same cause. Reporting from Boston, but with my heart in Italy, I'm Matteo Vignieri.

Thanks for watching, thanks for breaking with us, and I'll see you next time. Bye-bye.


It was organizational behavior, and we just met four times throughout the term. And I don't learn very well in traditional lectures. So either I'll go to them, and I won't get much out of them, and then I'll have to learn by myself elsewhere. Or I just won't go, and then I feel like I'm kind of missing out on my education, that sort of thing. So this provided an opportunity where it was just a few times. And then aside from that we learned kind of independently. And that was for me, it's not for everybody, but for me that was just a much more sensible way to study that material. I don't think that the entire university should go to flexible learning, because I think different people learn different ways. But I think for myself who learns better in self-study, or for people who learn much better interacting with others, that makes a lot of sense. So other other faculties offering flexible learning formats I think would be really beneficial to give people more options. We learned about evolution and genetics. So pretty much the way that the course ran was that at home we would be assigned readings from the textbook, and my professor would provide us with resources such as videos or pencasts or quizzes that we could do at home. And this would be before class. And then during the class we would take the information that we learned and we would go through exercises that were very exam style. So this could be in the form of quizzes or coming together in groups and working on the different worksheets and then we would discuss about them. So that's essentially how the classes always ran. So pretty much we would learn the material at home and practice it in the class when it came to exams and being tested. I felt it was a lot easier to show what I knew because in classes we were taught how we should think about questions. If the right resources are provided it's relatively straightforward for a university student to learn the material on their own. And doing exercises in class really helps when it comes to examination. So I feel like more of this would be extremely beneficial. So my experience was really positive with the course. I really liked that it was group-based. I really got to know my peers in that way. And I really liked how it worked with an organization to actually be a lot more practical than a lot of other academic courses. In the end I actually ended up taking one of our projects to a conference in Vienna.  The project was for the comprehensive nuclear test ban treaty organization, which was the organization the course had partnered with. And it was basically coming up with a way that the CTBTO as its acronym is, could reach out to future generations. So our group created a website, an interactive map, and then that's what we ended up taking to the conference. Definitely helped me like I ended up going to Japan this past February based on kind of connections that the campaign made with Japanese students. I definitely like to see more of group-based learning and like flipped classroom learning. I thought it was really valuable to have students from so many different faculties and departments come together. Cuz it really like gave students an opportunity to work in a setting that was really like real and based on real world scenarios. And I also really liked that they partnered with an organization because they allowed students to really feel the tangible benefits of their degree in their university experience. I think the value of this course is that it allows you to become more of an engaged citizen outside the classroom. It kind of prepares you for outside the classroom work that you would do in the real world. For me at least it was, you see, that is really not about yourself and your own learning, like how it benefits you, but how the learning, the things that you learn will benefit the community. It has made me realize that things aren't, they're more complicated than it seems. And that I should be humble myself in going and kind of tackling through these issues and these things that the communities are dealing with. It also has made me value really trying to understand the perspective of other people and see to understand before China being understood myself. So really I think these courses, the material definitely is really important. It teaches things like the, I guess, hard skills or hard knowledge. But I think what I'm taking from this, the more of the soft skills or the values that I've gained. We've seen the age of the flipped classroom and the TLF fund as well as other funding sources on campus had very much committed to supporting faculty members and departments and courses to engage in a flipped classroom exercise. And I think we've been there and that's great. But that should now be the norm and there should be funds set aside and support from faculties to do that. I think we've moved to a place where we're seeing faculty actually think about the way in which students learn and flexibility in assessment and in teaching practices and in engagement with course material. And so I think that where we're moving to and where we should actually see a lot more of our funds being allocated is in thinking about the student and teaching and learning experience. I'd like to see more of an engagement with Open Pedagogy and Open Educational Resources. I think it's this whole untapped place for a lot of departments and a lot of faculty members where there's a lot of ability to not only save students money but really make a positive shift in pedagogy and have students actually engage with course material in a more profound way.
