Hey, what's up everybody? So the clip you just saw is some test footage that I've been working on today, setting up my green screen and just recording some sample footage to do some tests for this new short film that I want to work on, sort of taking my game idea and turning it into a short film and so it's very sci-fi based. So I wanted to try to, you know, test out some lights and see if I could do some acting against the green screen and see how that would work in Unreal Engine and then, you know, do the color grading and everything in DaVinci Resolve. So here's my current workflow for how I created that clip that you just saw. So here's my green screen setup in my room. It's pretty basic. I've just got a, you know, a stand and a cloth green screen set up pretty far behind my folding chair that I'm sitting in. I've got a little C-stand with a colored light, purple light in my face. I knew I was going to be like touching a screen or something like that, so I wanted some kind of a reflection off my face for that and so I went ahead and set that light up and then I just got a couple of just plain white lights back in the back for the green screen to light that up. Way too many wrinkles in this green screen so far. I need to steam that and get all of those out. It wasn't very easy to key, so I'll make all of this better, but this was just my test. So here's how I keyed this green screen video in DaVinci Resolve and exported it as an EXR file and imported that into Unreal Engine. Alright, so here's the footage that I recorded with my green screen and it's obviously very dull looking. I recorded this with the Log setting in my Blackmagic 4K camera so I could pull it into DaVinci and do some editing on it here. But as you can see I'm just kind of sitting there. I've got it zoomed in so that it's fairly close. I'm acting like I'm punching some buttons and kind of looking around, reaching up, just kind of doing some movement just so I can kind of see how this is going to look in Unreal Engine. So I did some basic color grading here on it just to kind of make it pop a little bit more. I really should have used more lights on myself with the green screen and I should have done more to cut out this rim light. I thought this was going to be a good idea and it doesn't look terrible but it does kind of make it difficult for the keying because I kind of have a green haze along the edge here. So lots more work to do on my green screen setup so that it makes it easier to chroma. For this I used the Fusion tab and I just set up a basic HSL keyer. I think that in 18.1 I could have used the 3D keyer. I'll experiment with that next and maybe do an update for this video if there's an easier process. This is just the way that I already kind of knew how to key the footage. I had to bump the gain and the contrast on it a little bit so I could separate myself from the screen a little bit better. So anyway, it's a good enough result for my test. So from here I went to the Deliver tab and I selected EXR for the format and I want to make sure this is checked the export alpha. This is what will make all of this black background into an alpha mask in Unreal Engine. And so that's pretty much it.  It's one file per frame basically for the EXR but it gives you lots of color data inside each one of those files that can be used in tools like DaVinci Resolve for, you know, more data when you're color grading or anything like that. So now that I've exported this we'll switch over to Unreal Engine and I'll show you how I pulled that in. So over in Unreal Engine 5.1 this is my current version of my project with my sequencer. Got a little bit of camera movement. These are all the things that you saw in the clip at the beginning minus the additional stuff I've done in DaVinci Resolve since then but I'll get into that in the next segment of this video. I'll talk about how I did the final color grading and some other things, sound design just to kind of make that clip that you saw at the very beginning. So at any rate, here is how you pull in the EXR file that you exported from DaVinci Resolve with your alpha mask from the previous step. So you create a new image media source. You right-click, you got your media and from here you can do your image media source. And for this one let's see my sequence path. You basically just have to go and just select the very first file of the EXR output. The EXR is a whole bunch of files of one per frame and just select the first one for this and it'll see everything else and it will automatically populate all the other things. You want to make sure that you're using 24 frames per second here for the most filmic quality possible. And so once you have that then it is in your content drawer and you can basically just drag it onto the screen. So I probably should do another video that's step-by-step of exactly how to do this. I think there's a couple out there already if you did a search for this. This is just sort of my project already in progress. So at any rate, let's jump back over here. Let's look at the default viewport and I'll show you kind of how this is laid out. So obviously everything is based on the camera view and there's nothing else other than what's going to be shown in the camera. And so let's see here. There's my green screen footage right there. And so this is just this media plate that you just drag onto there. It automatically pretty much sets everything for you. For me it already had the transparency. So let's see. Then I would drag it down and add it to the sequencer here so that it shows up and it's able to play. Everything else that I have here, all of these other assets are from KitBash3D. I think that this is from the Cyber District kit maybe or something. I don't know, I just kind of grabbed a few things just that looked kind of sci-fi looking that could kind of fill out the scene. So let's see. Switch back over to here. And see I've got my camera settings so that my green screen footages and focus everything else is sort of in the distance with the depth. I'm using a 50 millimeter prime here for that look. Let's see what else is special here. I think my exposure probably, I typically do this in a post-process volume. I think since this was just some test footage, I just did it directly on the camera. So let's see here. Where is the lens information? Here we go. This is it. So under exposure and lens you want to have this set to manual. And then you want to kind of adjust this out so that it looks kind of how you want it to be. So what was this before, 5.9 or something like that. Anyway, you can play around with some of this stuff. There are lots of effects here that you can add on to this. I typically do these things in DaVinci Resolve though. I like the quality of the effects a little bit better than the real time engine here. So another thing you'll notice here that I've added a bunch of lights. I've got a purple light in here. Let's see. There we go. There's all the game things. If you hit G on the keyboard by the way that will show or hide all of the game elements. And so I've got a purple light here and I've got a blue light here and a white light back here just to kind of fill all of this stuff out. This was the light that I have on my face and the green screen obviously. I kind of have my LED color light shining in my glasses there. That's kind of a no-no for filming but once again test footage. So you can see I've got all these things and then I've got this dust or smoke Niagara effect. It's okay. I just kind of needed a little bit more movement in there. But honestly like in situations like this it kind of pulls the green screen character out because it's at a hard time getting it to show in front of the green screen card. It shows behind it. And if I had added that to the footage that would look a little bit better but in this case it kind of you can see that separation and it doesn't look very good to me. So anyway once you build your scene here and another thing you can pick your angle like this is not the original angle that I filmed at. I've dropped the camera a little bit lower than it was when I originally filmed it. So you can kind of do whatever you want to do here. I think my next experiment like this I'm going to try a walking character and put them where they're kind of walking across the screen or something. So once you have everything lined up here the way that you want it you want to go to your movie render queue. You know you want to in my case I want to export as EXR again because I'm going to pull this into DaVinci Resolve. So I want to export as EXR sequence from Unreal Engine that gives me you know a file per frame but also more color data inside of each file. I want to use my anti-aliasing here. I want to use color output. I think that I could be doing some different configuration here that would make us a little bit better. I'm still learning about this but this is the way that I currently do it. All of this is you know work in progress as I expand up on my hobby and try to make better and better looking short films. So anyway have all of this render local. After that I have my folder full of EXR files and now I'm ready to pull them back into DaVinci Resolve and do a little bit of final color grading, a little bit of maybe video effect and some sound design. So let's get to that next. Alright so to wrap this up now we're back in DaVinci Resolve and this is my current basic test footage. I just did some very basic sound design here. I pulled in some sound effects that I had just locally on my NAS. I'm using this cinematic score for Blade Runner suspense whatever this is from. This is from a pack that I bought from Triune digital video. The Film Riot guys bought a big pack from them last Black Friday and had a bunch of royalty free cinematic scores that I just kind of use whenever I'm doing some test footage just to kind of give it a feel or something. So anyway I used that here. And so to bring the EXR clip in let's see let's go to the media tab here. You have to import media and you just go and you find the EXR files. This is where I had saved it from my green screen tests movie renders. You select the first one, you go all the way down to the end and you hold shift, you select the other one, you hit open and it will import that in. Now obviously I've already got it here so I won't do that again. But let's see where are we here. So I did something odd with the color configuration probably coming out of Unreal Engine and the footage came in really dark. But that was okay because it had plenty of color data in it so that I could adjust the mids and the highlights. But I'll figure more out how to make this better and make an updated video that shows what I've learned since then. So obviously this was fine it didn't really cause any issues. So let's see I've got an adjustment clip here I like to do this in my color grading projects for DaVinci Resolve. You add an adjustment clip on top of everything else and whatever you want to affect the entire video all of the clips all at once you just add to the adjustment clip. So like in this case I add most of my video effects or the film grain, film convert, nitro or whatever I'm using here for the film grain effect. I add all of those things to the adjustment clip so that they are automatically applied to all of the clips. And I've just got a little lower third here that just denotes this as test footage just so that everyone sees that I'm not really trying to pass this off as a production ready video. Anyway so the other interesting thing here maybe is the color tab like I said on the original I had to kind of crank the gamma and the gain a little bit for the clip and then I added some additional things to it this halation which is like the glow I typically don't use the bloom a lot in Unreal Engine and I try to add it here I believe there's also a bloom plug in but I've kind of been experimenting with this halation lately it's has a neat effect and you can limit it to just the highlights or anything else I've got a basic vignette here so just to kind of give it that rounded edge filmic look and I've added some very light film grain here because I knew that I was going to add more with film convert and I do all of that stuff on the adjustment clip here and so let's see I believe I have this set up let's see oh it's actually over in the edit tab. So if you go here and this is where I have film convert nitrate and you know I just I actually used the 4k setting here because that's what my green screen was but it made the Unreal Engine stuff look pretty decent too so I kind of like that setting I just kind of messed around with a few things here I'm not great at making this look very good yet but so I just kind of made a few settings adjustments just to kind of make it look decent anyway this is what we've got so obviously it pans out I've got a little bit of the sound design there I don't know maybe this is like a into the world devastation thing or something maybe and and this guy is doing something important I don't know what this is like I said test footage anyway thanks for watching this I hope it's been helpful if you learn something give it a like leave me a comment if you have questions about it if there's interest in doing a full maybe like a live stream or something where I do this this entire type of thing from start to end and you see the end every step and as opposed to me just coming in at the end and showing you my finished product let me know in the comments if that's something that you guys would like and I can make that happen anyway make sure you subscribe if you like this type of stuff I've got lots more of this coming so thanks for watching


Aloha Hava'i, I'm Wendy Lo and I'm your volunteer buddy as we journey to take your health back. We are coming to you live from my home, the shelter, and downtown Honolulu from the studios of Think Tech Hava'i, where 45 very colorful and diverse hosts of variety topics come there and share their hearts. Today our topic of discussion on the shelter from dome to home is a story whenever we can save a life and make it better for someone and this is a success story. What I would like you to take away from today's discussion is the idea solution to today's homeless problem must include a holistic approach with God, the center of transformation. Today we are very very honored to welcome Jerry Johnston, a former I say a former resident of the shelter in Kahalu and the exciting story of her journey of transformation in her life. Aloha Jerry. Aloha, all the way from Kahalu. Alrighty, and what a con from dome home and we have a picture of your home for the last few months so that picture is the dome to home and we are talking about your success story. I'm excited to hear more about you and your story so let's get started. Okay, so can we start by sharing some information about the shelter and what it is for and what programs are involved here? Absolutely, thank you so much Wendy for allowing us to get this message out. The program at the shelter it allows participants like single moms with children of course they got to be drug and alcohol-free mentally stable and willing to work at a job and then also be accepting of a God-based faith-based program. We are partnered with IHS also known as the Institute of Human Services and what they do is they provide social services to an agency referrals. The term of the state is availability on the affordability that they have for their housing. It goes from anywhere from 9 to 24 months and they would either pay a rent of $200 per month or they have the option to work it off so it allows everybody to be involved in this when they meet the mom and child status and then also the program includes personal and social developing classes things like financing, parenting, all the good stuff that I learned and then the foundation of course is based on spiritual transformation of the heart which includes like Bible classes, spiritual development, church attendance and family and community services and that's program. Wow all of that all of that is very important because you know you can put a roof over your head but if you're not from the inside out you still just have a roof over your head so that's again glad that you shared a little bit about the shelter with us so what is it for what is involved in the programs that you go through there? Basically we have the classes like I was talking about we have parenting classes that's so important for us because that's things that we don't get taught even financial classes I never was really taught how to you know work on my finances you know so it's like just your life just goes on and and you make a lot of mistakes but when you're in a program like this they they provide you things like that and conflict management career preparation and just getting you into the job market basically yeah so that's the type of programs they have here at the shelter. Well that's exciting I know that once you get into the program you know you have to maintain a certain level of conduct and so I know that after about two months into the program they're gonna assess you and check out what you're doing and how you're how you're doing in your day-to-day activities and growth can you share with us what did you experience you know going through this for being assessed? I'm sorry I didn't hear the question too good there was a little bit of break but basically maybe why don't we go into the survey that was shared so about a couple months into the program what we were given was a survey to to talk about the different things that we were feeling about the shelter and some of the answers were like safety security peace protection from the world and the opportunity to find God for me it was all of these things you know having the safety and security aspect for my children you know when a family goes through trauma it's really tough to feel safe especially if you're living on the streets and you know you've experienced beatings and you've experienced your things being stolen all of that is very important at that point to have and then the protection from the world you know we're living on holy land I don't know how else to say it but it feels so peaceful and and having that opportunity to know the peace of God is just amazing that you don't really get that in living your day-to-day life in the outside world I guess you can call it right yeah knowing that Kea cool is right there with you supporting you and guiding you holding your hand in your heart day to day I mean that's very very comforting and I'm sure that's exactly what you feel while you're there on that shelter in the program and I think that's the main crux of what we're doing there giving you stability assurance that you're not alone always walking and someone's there holding you accountable and that and yourself holding yourself accountable because you know you're being watched and you know that there's a survey coming up so you have your baby at all and you know as well as I know the line out there on the street it's probably very very to get in and I know you feel your blessings to have gone through that program is that right absolutely I am a change person and it all is through a face-based faith-based program because that I experience other shelters and things like that and it's really different when you don't have that aspect of having faith in intertwined into the program right I think that's the hope that we can offer at these shelters you know and everyone runs their shelter differently and the success rate at the shelter will be very great because they are not doing it alone and that's so so critical so you know thank you for introducing us to the shelter program and talking to us about some of the day-to-day dealings within the shelter of the program the surveys and all that but let's find out a little bit about you now so who is Jerry and how did you come to find the shelter well I'm a mother of four see a picture of my four children that picture is actually taken at the shelter the one on the bottom and then the two children that were with me living at the shelter because they were under the age of 18 is the picture on the top and so my son is on 13 and my daughter's about 17 but I tell you we learned a lot so how did we come to the shelter you know sometimes you think that you've got all your what do you call that eggs in a basket right you feel like you you've overcome a lot of things you you know you can have a master's degree in business you can have everything that you possibly think that is good to secure your life but then trauma hits right and that's what happened to me that's what brought me to the shelter and it was not only my family that became homeless but also my mother was homeless so I was actually bringing her to the shelter to sign up and the shelter coordinator at that time was princess and she said I think this application is for you because we're actually a mama children's shelter moms and kids and I said oh okay and I thought that I had everything in line to just move on my own and it was going to be a studio and we were just going to live like that and just make it like we all normally do paycheck to paycheck um but I filled up that application and this was it just it just really was that flow well and I found myself at the shelter and receiving their services wow so could you share with us were you considered homeless or just in between um what was your status like before entering into the shelter if you don't mind me asking absolutely not yes um that's a great question I was uh just about to go into homelessness it wasn't something that I was off the streets but there are a lot of women in this shelter that uh come off the streets living in the vans you know even being pregnant and in their third trimester getting ready to give birth you know all of those things that we don't think about but those are the type of people that we're serving here at the shelter is people that you know whether you're coming off the streets or you're just about to go on the streets this is something that uh it's like a safety net that for our homeless um moms and children right you know and it like you said it could happen to anyone and you know especially in the times where we're at right you know we really have to um aware and sensitive to a lot of the simple issues of day-to-day survival and I'm sure the communities of villages the shelters um their lines are going to get even longer and um because of what's going on today um so it's no fault of anyone except it's we find ourselves that you know I sat on the board of directors for about 15 years river of life mission and I I often went to feed the people and um really dedicated my life to serving the houseless community and the people of need and I used to bring my children there all the time and I just wanted to remember that we're very blessed but that anyone in a shelter or even at the soup kitchen receiving food and it's a matter of making sometimes not I mean it's not even making a wrong decision it's sometimes just where life takes us and so we have to respect everyone and everyone is created equal and so no matter if I have a lot or I have little we're all created the same and you always want to remember that we all believe the same color and that we're all created the same but like the shelter it offers you know people who just need that little assistance in that time of their life to just jump in and know that someone loves them and cares for them and that they're going to hold you accountable to get back on your feet your two feet on your own and be the created to be be the wahini that you were created to be and that's the success story of what was you know is in your in your story and in your future and what great knowledge you have experienced while there as well because I mean right you just took things for granted like we all do until it's taken away so I'm just so excited to just be be your friend and to continue to walk with you and hear your story okay so get back to everything so you mentioned um you have four your four children with you is that right or right and then so what about the safety for your children you're an adult you know what's going on what about the safety uh with your children and how did the shelter protect or provide that for you and your family the safety issue well it is uh secured grounds uh and without going too far into the trauma that we experienced it's really nice to be in a place that your children feel like they can sleep because a lot of nights there were times that they didn't feel comfortable sleeping um and then when we came to the shelter we had that just that peace and and ability to feel safe because even having security on site you know that was even implemented and I tell you like my son would be ah I can sleep in the parlor today because I feel safe you know or um looking at your daughter and and seeing that she's resting well at one two in the morning so those are things that you just can't you can't buy that you you just can't it's something that's that you're going to live in a place that makes you feel secure and not only me as the mom but my children too yeah and that's the main key as a mom you want to feel that sense of security for yourself for your family and and that you're provided out of there and comfort but right now Jerry we will have to take a 60 second break we'll take a break take a breath and we'll be right back with Lord your amen sorry Mahalo Jerry Aloha I'm John David and the host of History Lens on Think Tech Hawaii History Lens deals with contemporary events and looks at them through a historical perspective or what we call a history lens the show is streamed live on ThinkTechHawaii.com thanks so much for watching our show we look forward to seeing you then Mahalo and Aloha Aloha here we are back with our amazing guest Jerry Johnston and she is a success of the shelter we love it about how you can qualify to enter into the shelter once you're in the shelter what what happens at the shelter and what we were just discussing was the security that she fell on the shelter while raising her children and so that's really important as a mother we want to know that we have some security and you know at this time with the coronavirus going on I just wanted to I did want to have different advisors that are running different shelters or villages or communities and I asked them what are you all doing in lieu of this outbreak and they all said that they all addressed the safety of the shelter as other as as as well as they can and that they are all honoring the stay at home guidelines by the city and state that residents are restricted to stay at home just like the rest of us unless they are essentially need to go to work so the shelter they are asking for self-reflection if you feel sick a sore throat or a fever can you to come forth no different than what we're doing here but they're really a being able to implement all of that and that's so key so another thing is they're limiting visitors into the shelter or just people coming about and just encouraging self-isolation and that's the key for all of us and if they're doing that great of a job in the shelter everybody out there we better start making sure that we do the same all right so make sure self-isolate and just be careful stay calm stay healthy and keep yourself busy clean the house read more and just learn more about how you can invent all that's what we all should be doing anyways in the shelter you are a community of families it's not just one I believe in your shelter there are like nine different families correct is it nine families or nine families total nine yeah so what was it like and how important was it for you know how important a part of healing did this shelter play in your life oh I you know I have a long list of reasons why this shelter has really played a part in my life but one that's super important is outside of everything that we learn in regards to having a a better relationship a stronger relationship with our father of what Jesus right our father and besides that the reason why I entitled it it takes a village is because we just weren't brought up this way you know a lot of people that are in this situation really didn't have the love growing up and you know hey I I had a single mom too but she had to work all growing up and we didn't really get too much time with her not not at her fault at all but um that's just life and um when I talk about having a village it wasn't only just the people that serve us at the shelter which being under payroll but it was also the community that made a big difference you know the windward community just huge allowing the shelter even to be here we are grateful and then also the community within that we had people volunteering to teach the classes we had even like the top picture it shows our choir practice one of my favorite and then you know just being able to have that direct connection with our pastors I can like I said the list can go on and on but that's the key with all these shelters it's people really need to take that time in our community to be a part you know help out because that's really how these shelters are succeeding is everyone's coming together yeah so you know what's really neat the shelter or even the village in white night what's really neat is that you are told and encouraged to practice what we're supposed to be doing already outside but because the world of the environment is so large it's hard to implement but with you being just nine families it's kind of a little bit easier to implement true community and that's what we're lacking a lot of and I think right now the lessons for all of us being self-isolated is just that get back to community get back to family and start building what's supposed to be most important for all of us to enjoy the rest of our lives so you know with the shelter providing of the sense of peace and security as a foundation how did you see and how did you use that opportunity to rebuild your life yes thanks for asking that question for I guess I guess the best way I can put it is it taught me to not be so self-consumed I don't know how else to say it but I think a lot of us know what I'm talking about is really caring only about myself only caring about my immediate family and how are we going to survive and how are we going to live our day-to-day life and really just live with the pleasures of the world I guess that was me right just being totally honest and what it taught me is it kind of like grew inside of me where I turned out to be a person that now I want to really give back and that's where I was connected very blessed to be offered a job at the Institute of Human Services at IHS and that was the beginning of my new foundation where I'm working as outreach specialists in the employment division and it's so important because as we're out there getting jobs for people that allows them to get out of that homeless cycle and so I am very blessed to be giving back now and if you even look at the the picture that's under the the heli to work picture it shows the community within the shelter and these are some of the mamas that we were all together getting ready for a convoy of hope so that was a super great success in fact another mom and her children was able to stay here because of the things that we did with convoy of hope so yeah just a great opportunity to build that solid foundation but more so I think it's really having my foundation in God because I really didn't really understand how to get that how to really understand how my father loves me because I never had a dad I mean I have that that's price this yes yes so Jerry you have been on a priceless journey you have been on a very priceless journey and one that you probably would not have experienced had you not been able to come to the shelter so can really quickly can you just share some of your life lessons that you learned while in the shelter just one or two I know you got many but just one or two yes so one of the great life lessons I've learned is really to put my whole life and trust in God because if I don't then it's it's not going to work for me the other great life lesson I've learned and now I've implemented into with my older two children is with all my kids is now I'm spending time with them and really becoming a mom I think that they were seeking for and not be all about work and be more about being that mom that raises up leaders in my family so yeah just love them wow that's excellent so I'm so excited about what's going on in your life I mean you just being a mama again I mean that's the best job in the world you know and I just know I want to just know how the new season in your life is anchored on God as you progress as you progress in your life on the master plan he has for you because everyone has a plan not everyone lives it but can you just share a glimpse into your praise report okay my praise report so on the last slide I showing as a new beginning the bottom I'm going to go with the bottom picture it shows the new mom that was able to move in as me and my kids really prepared the dome got it all cleaned up she was able to move in really quickly getting another person off the street and then that shows my keys right above her picture and then the two gals that's with me on the very top we were actually at a church event and they're both out of the shelter but most recently the gal on the bottom kailani uh she was able to just get her house with her children just a few days ago so lots of exciting things happening that's exciting so exciting so exciting well I know we could spend an hour on you because it's your life that we want to learn and guide others with but I just really want to share with our audience a quick little video that we have on the shelter so this time I'd like to watch the video okay our residents and staff deeply appreciate the support that has been given whether it be time labor or financial contributions coming to the shelter has really helped me and my family just by um unifying us and getting us off the street a place to live together um it's made it possible for my oldest son to come over and spend time with me and his little brother and us not having to stay out all day and try to find a place to spend time in when he found out that he was coming he was so happy and um he has his own bed not only that of giving us a place to stay um we are also very blessed at the shelter to be able to build our relationship with God and be able to grow together as a family and worship God at the same time and so I'm very grateful for that and um also to have the staff and family that we do outside of our family which is really nice to have that kind of support from the staff and the pastors as well. I am thankful for being given the opportunity to build my relationship with God and just experience his presence um throughout the year almost that I've been here I've grown. I'm very thankful and grateful for the shelter for giving us um roof over our head and for all the blessings that they've given us and we're receiving every day and also for the good help from me and my kids it just you know we're loving blessings for me and my kids. So we were really happy to be into the shelter with all the nice people and I love being in the worship team so we're just like really glad to be here and my brother loves making all these friends like everybody he loves he's always like can I go play outside with everybody so we're all just like really thankful to be at the shelter. God has richly blessed us in our first year and we look forward to what he has in store for next year. Once again, mahalo nui loa and la loa calcua. How amazing what we learned today is that we just all need to work together to be a part of the solution so thank you mahalo so much Jerry for your success story and for sharing your heart with us and we hope to hear from you all again with many many more success stories from the shelter. Aloha everyone and mahalo Jerry. Thank you.


Our next caller is Bailey from Texas. Hey, Bailey. How can we help you? Hey guys first want to say thank you for everything you guys do. I transitioned from endurance training to resistance and Podcasts been super helpful. So thanks for everything. We did it Thanks, I recently bought the summer bundle And starting the aesthetics program So my question is there's a lot of rest periods on between sets and just a lot of time in the gym Which I get but Wondering if it will hinder my progress if I cut some of the time down maybe in half or super set different muscle groups Yeah, yeah, will so the rest period especially by the way somebody like you who was an endurance person before I know this I know this must be it must be Super hard right because you're used to that kind of training that kind of fatigue go go go and you know I would train clients like you a lot and they would hate sitting there resting Why do I got a rest? I feel like I could do more The rest period is part of the programming that is pushing the right type of adaptation Now supersets themselves Aren't necessarily bad neither are shorter rest periods But there's a time and a place and you'll find those In the third phase of maps aesthetic you're going to get all the supersets and short rest periods You could ever desire. Yeah in phase three, but when you're in phase one and phase two Follow the program now if you want to cut the short the rest periods a little bit That's fine. So if it says Two minutes or three minutes and you want to do in a minute and a half or whatever Okay, but I would not go I would not go shorter than one minute one minute is the the shortest Rest period that I would have anybody take if they're trying to build their metabolism build strength You know sculpt their body In any of the especially those first otherwise we're getting into aerobics I mean we're getting right you're flirting with that and somebody who already has a you know background like you Like you do in endurance You you're already got that adaptation really well. So you want to go the complete opposite in fact I would even I would before I would ask let you take 15 seconds off or whatever I would actually rather see you drop an exercise, you know, maybe I don't know what program we're talking about Aesthetic right now. Yeah, maybe there's shrugs or cat. Yeah shrugs or calf raises in there that I will allow I'd rather see you drop that off and stick to make the workout Yeah to make the work like if it was a time thing, right? So if a client came to me said adam this thing is taking me An hour and 20 minutes if I follow the rest periods the way it is and I just don't have that time I need I need to get done by an hour or whatever Can I speed it up and I would say no, I don't want you to speed it up I would pick a couple exercises that maybe that person needs less of And I would drop them off or drop a couple sets off of a couple exercises To say that the rest periods are important to the adaptation that we're trying to achieve like sal said Okay, cool. That makes a lot of sense. I appreciate it. Awesome and congratulations for the transition And now what have you noticed real quick from moving from endurance to strength? I'm hungry all the time You know what that's actually one of the best signs Uh, that is that is that is a direct sign that your metabolism is kicking in And that your hormones are probably in a better position. You probably are noticing Better sleeping crease libido and of course the way you look. I'm sure your body's starting to sculpt in shape For sure. Yeah, there's been a big change even just over like two months. Wow, that's awesome. Well, congratulations. Great job Thanks. Appreciate all you guys do. No problem. Thank you Yeah, uh, there's like a few clients I would say that were the hardest to train like one would be the uh, the x athlete who was like hardcore athlete 10 years ago And then they hired me and I'm trying to get them to not beat the crap out of themselves This is another tough one the super endurance fanatic that goes in strength training They just can't they can easily turn everything into endurance. Yes. Yeah, it's it just can get away And yeah, it's it's really just pulling them back on their own tendencies and and you know likes because it is It's one of those like things It's just it's hard wired at at a certain point If that's like like what you really enjoy the most out of working out So it's your job as a coach to really kind of keep presenting the value Of rest periods and how the intent of that and why that's like appropriate in order to to get your body to change The way you want. Yeah, you know what skill came in handy. Well, I had to develop Training these types of people was conversation skills because I would literally we're gonna rest between sets So i'm gonna we're gonna have a great like keep them entertained Yes, like it's just resting is like it was like torture. I actually I would I used to stop watch this client I mean, this is the aerobics group X client the client that loved classes and that like high energy keep it moving type of training And then they came to me and then we're doing a strength training phase It's like I would literally be like you cannot go to the next set until this and if they The thing you have to be ready for as a trainer when you hear back is like, oh, it's too easy Okay, well then let's increase the load them because that is the idea of what we're trying to do right now And they will continue to want to start earlier because they've just been training that way for so long totally


By remembering the geometric meaning of the definite integral, it's possible to gain other information about the definite integral from just a few pieces of data. For example, suppose I know that the definite integral from 0 to 8 is 16, and suppose we also know that g of x is increasing and g of 5 is equal to 2. Let's see if we can find an upper bound for the definite integral between 0 and 5. Now it's possible to solve this problem without drawing anything. And indeed, if you want to impress a rogue mathematician doing a problem like this without drawing anything is a good way to do it. But it's easier to draw some pictures. So if we take the fact that this integral has values 16 and combine it with the geometric meaning of the definite integral, we find that the area of the region below y equals g of x above the x axis from x equals 0 to x equals 8 has area 16. Now the problem is we don't know what g of x looks like, but we do know a few things about it. We know that g of x is increasing, and that tells us that the graph of y equals g of x is rising. So it's got to look like no, no, no, yes. And then finally we're told that g of 5 is equal to 2. And so we know that this graph has to pass through the point 5, 2. Well, the graph we drew while it's increasing doesn't pass through this point, so let's fix it. Now remember the question asks us to say something about the definite integral from 0 to 5 of g of x. Now something we might do is we might write down any relationship between the things we know and the thing we're looking for. And in this case, the thing that we know is this definite integral, and the thing we're looking for is this definite integral. And so we might write down this sum based on the additivity of the definite integral. This suggests that I might want to say something about the definite integral from 5 to 8. So let's consider the geometric content of this definite integral. Now this corresponds to the area under the graph between x equals 5 and x equals 8. Can we say anything about this definite integral? Well, what if we use the lower rectangle? This lower rectangle is going to have area because it's width is 3 and its height is 2. So the area of the lower rectangle is 6, which means that the area of the region is greater than or equal to 6. And so we know that the definite integral from 5 to 8 of g of x must be greater than or equal to 6. But since these two integrals add to 16, then if this one is greater than or equal to 6, then the other one must be less than or equal to 10. In the previous problem, we used information about the function values to find a bound for the integral. Can we go the other way and use the information about the integral to find a bound for the function values? Well, let's try it out. So let's do this problem in the hardest way possible and not draw a picture. Or maybe not. There are no bands of rogue mathematicians around me, so I'll take things the easy way and draw a picture based on what we know. So f of x is decreasing, and so we know the graph of y equals f of x is falling. The first definite integral tells us that the area under the graph from x equals 0 to x equals 5 is 15, and the second tells us that the area of the graph from 0 to 8 is 20. And that means this last portion of area from x equals 5 to x equals 8 must be 5. And so we know the value of this definite integral is also 5. So the upper rectangle for this region has width of 3 and height of f of 5. And since this must exceed the actual area, this means that 3 times f of 5 must be greater than or equal to 5. Which tells us that f of 5 is greater than or equal to 5 thirds, which means that 5 thirds is a lower bound for f of 5. That works so well. Let's see what else we can do. We know that the definite integral from 0 to 5 has value 15, and so that tells us the area from x equals 0 to x equals 5 has area 15. Well, let's take a look at the lower rectangle for this region. It's going to have width of 5 and height of f of 5. And since this must be less than the actual area, this tells us f of 5 must be less than or equal to 3. And so 3 is an upper bound for the value.


The high mortgage rates are deteriorating sellers who have that 3% and 4% interest rate. And they just don't want to lose that low interest rate and buy a house with a 5%, 6%, 7% interest rate. Of course they don't. Who would? That's totally understandable. But here's what I foresee. And this is where the huge opportunity is right here. And this is how you can literally visualize a game plan that will put you as being the number one agent in your market, making a million dollars, whatever your big dreams and goals are to create this massive business. This is the play. And this is so similar to what happened to me in 2008. I went all in with representing buyers on foreclosures because I knew they were going to turn around and sell those properties at a huge profit in three years and upgrade to another property and refer five people to me. And that's what happened. And that's how I got to 100 deals a year representing buyers for three or four years on foreclosures. This is your 2008 right now. And this is why. The reason that mortgage rates are deterring sellers from selling is the same reason why it's going to make sellers sell in the next coming years. Now, understand the philosophy here. We're having sellers decide not to sell because of high interest rates. That's going to have the opposite effect on people who are buying right now at the higher rates. So everybody feels like everybody's in unison that mortgage rates are going to get down into the fives over the next couple years. Okay? So imagine the buyers who are buying today at 6% and 7%. And then in three years, rates are 5%. Aren't they going to be excited to sell their house? They're sitting on 6%, 7% interest, upgrade to a nicer house at a 5% interest? Yeah, they are. So that's going to help this inventory problem. Now we're also going to see some relief with inventory when rates get down to 5% now because you've got this pent up demand of people who are sitting in houses at 4% who really want to move. They're not happy where they are. They need a bigger house. They want a nicer house, whatever the case may be. And they're going to trade up and they're going to pay a little more interest just because they got to that breaking point. So right now we're not at that point at the 6% and 7% range, but when we get to the 5% to 6% range, we're going to see a little relief with inventory. And then as rates get down and we give time for the people who are buying right now to decide to trade up over the next two to three to four to five years, we're going to see those listings hit the market and those buyers, those sellers are going to turn into buyers for nicer homes. So planting the seeds right now going all in on your business to get out there and represent as many people as you can, whether they're buying or selling, because the more buyers you can represent right now during this time of high interest rates, the more great listings you're going to have over the next one, two, three, four, five years and the more deals you're going to do because they're going to upgrade into other homes and they're going to refer so many people to you. This is your moment right here to get in there and do the same thing I did back in 2008. That's the opportunity ladies and gentlemen. So anyway, I just wanted to share this. I think this is amazing that we're about to go not only positive year over year price wise, but we're going to go to an all new high price wise and I'm starting to see light at the end of the tunnel with inventory. Will it take a couple of years for this all to play out? Of course it will. It's not going to happen overnight, but it's not going to stay like it is forever. Every stage of the market cycle is temporary. So don't let this deter you. Don't let this get you down.  Yes, you are going to make it a real estate. Go all in on your business. Talk to as many people as possible. I'll tell you what you don't do. Sit around waiting on leads to come to you. If you're doing that, you're not going to make it right now in this business. This is right now the moment where you have to be the one initiating the conversations.  Build that database. Do your weekly email. Do the things that you know you need to do. Thank long term.   That's going to turn into a massive snowball over the next couple of years. All right. Hey, have a great Saturday. I love you guys. We'll see you on the next video. Let's go.


Okay, so what one is this? Okay, yeah, so I can't see it and then when he zooms in just crush the test Barium sulfate, okay Look at that


Good morning Hickets Tuesday, but this video isn't for you, it's for your son who recently asked, why do things exist, which, buddy, is a really good question, and a really big one? One of the strange things about being a human is that big questions occur to us, even if they don't seem to affect our day to day lives. Like, your question is about why the universe exists, and why there's so much stuff in it, and why some of that stuff happens to be zinc and iron that we dig under the surface of the earth to pull out and transform into 1987 US mail truck hot wheels. But regardless of why zinc exists, the hot wheel is still fun to play with, right? And this is one of my very favorite things about humans. We don't need to know why zinc exists in order for hot wheels to be fun to play with, or for us to survive, or whatever, but we still want to know. And I think this urge to know, even if we don't necessarily need to know in order to survive is kind of the human superpower. Okay, so let's begin with us. I'm not sure if this is news to you, but it continues to be weird to me. We are made out of the universe, even our thinking parts. Like you may hear that people and cats and the earth are mostly made of star dust, and that's actually very true. We are made out of stuff that stars produced a very long time ago as they burned. But while thinking about stars transforming into humans and US mail truck hot wheels is very interesting and important, it tells us more about how things exist, and what exists, than why they exist. Like we know that our planet, which we call Earth, is rotating around a star, which we call the Sun, and that star is just one of billions in our Milky Way galaxy, which is itself just one of billions of galaxies in the universe. We also know the universe, like good five-year-olds everywhere, follows a set of rules that shapes how it behaves. And we know that the universe is expanding, that everything is getting further away from everything else at an accelerating rate. And we know that things are made out of atoms, which are themselves made out of subatomic particles like protons and electrons. But why? Why do things exist? Hold on, I have to go feed the chickens. By the way, did you know that after you make coffee, there's this stuff left over called coffee grounds that you can use as garden fertilizer, or as a kind of like kitty litter for your chicken coop? It's true. Say hello to the chickens. Greetings, chickens. It is I, your humble servant, here to exchange food for your eggs. So coffee gives us energy, and then its remains give us happy chickens and gardens. Now, I know what you're thinking, but where can I get amazing coffee that's good for the people who drink it and for the people who farm it and for the chickens? Awesomecoffeeclub.com. So why do things exist? We don't know. We don't know why things exist. We are reasonably sure that a little less than 14 billion years ago, everything currently in our universe was in an unfathomably dense point of matter and then exploded into being, which we call the Big Bang, but we don't know why, and we don't even know why there is stuff in the universe at all, at least according to our current models. It is just as likely, maybe even more likely, that the same universe could be created but without any matter in it. So yeah, we don't know. We don't know why there is as much stuff in the universe as there is instead of more or less stuff, and we don't know why the universe exists, which of course also means that we don't know why we exist. So that's weird, but it's also kind of exciting because that means that the big questions, maybe the biggest questions, are still out there waiting to be answered and you are one of the people exploring those questions, which I think is awesome. We are made out of the universe. We are not observers of it. We are participants in it. And that's why I think your question is so beautiful because you, my five-year-old nephew, are the universe trying to understand itself. Orrin, I'll see your dad on Friday. P.S. Orrin, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to mark it directly to you, but fortunately you don't drink coffee. AwesomeCoffeeClub.com. Learn more about our new coffee subscription there. It's great coffee that you can feel great about.


Hey everybody, it's Greg back to here in this video, we're going to have a closer look at the Moza Air 2 gimbal. We're going to check out some live footage, we're going to do a quick balance tutorial. We're going to go over some quick facts and we're also going to check out everything that comes with the Moza Air 2 gimbal. So let's get started. So a couple of quick facts to start. The Moza Air gimbal 2 weighs 1.6 kilograms or roughly 3.5 pounds. Now as far as the maximum payload, it can carry 4.2 kilograms or roughly 9.2 pounds. So it's perfect for a heavier DSLR with some zoom lenses. Now as far as the size and weight, I didn't find it too heavy when I was out doing some test shots with it. So let's get into some of the quick facts as well. It has four accessory ports. So two on the front and two on the back. And there's control cables for different camera manufacturers like Sony, Nikon, Canon, and Panasonic. From time to time you'll want to check with the manufacturer's website for software updates. And the reason for that is they're adding more camera compatibility all of the time. So you want to check to make sure you have current software. Now you can update this with a USB cable or you can use the phone app. That's what I use to update the latest version of the software. Now also too, what I really like about this that sets it a little bit apart from some of the gimbals on the market is the LCD screen. Now you can control all of the parameters of the gimbal with just the screen. So you don't need to use the phone app. Although the phone app is handy and you can use that if you want, it just makes it a little easier. If you're on a shoot and you want to make a quick adjustment, you can just control it right from your gimbal, which I think is really good. Now also too, we'll have a closer look at in a second is the auto tune feature. So once you have your camera balanced, you'll do the auto tune. So when we get into the balance section, I'll show you how that works. Now what I like too is you can use the M button here or you can use the joystick and you can press that and you can toggle through different modes like you can on other gimbals. Now you can have just the pan follow. You can have pan and tilt. You can have various different versions of how you like to use it. Now you can also adjust the speed of how the joystick works as well. So if you prefer to use the joystick, you can control the speed of that as well. And I like how easy this is. So if you want to do a nice slow pan in one shot but then a quick pan in the next, all you have to do is turn this dial and you can quickly change that speed. Now to return to center, you just double click the trigger, which is opposite. So we're looking at it as if you were using the gimbal right now with the joystick toward you. The trigger is on the other side. You double click that and always returns to center. Now if you see over here on the right hand side, if you toggle that twice, then you go into inception mode, which is that sort of barrel roll look that you may have seen. So you can quickly go to that. They also have a sport gear mode that you can go into as well. Now with the app, they have different features that you can access like time lapse. So let's get more into how we can balance this and how to auto tune it. And we'll also look at some live footage shot with this as well. All right. In this part of the video, we're going to do a quick balance tutorial. Quick tip before we get started, make sure that you have your camera and your gimbal balance prior to turning the power on. Make sure that you have that done. All right. So let's get started. So we have the plate already installed. I just want to show you what it looks like. So you can use these little push buttons here to release the plate. There's one at the front and you can slide your camera in place. So once you have that, you just lock it. You'll hear that locking sound and then you take this lever and you lock it. So once you have it balanced, you can take your camera off and put it back in place quite easily with this. So another thing here too is this is the lever for the four and a half. So this is where you're going to make your adjustment. So you can see here, my camera is a little bit forward.  Now make sure you keep your hands on the camera loosely so that it doesn't slide and go all over the place. So you can see I'm just sort of bouncing it back and forth until I get that adjustment. Just make these tiny little adjustments like this a little bit more and I think will be perfect.  Now once I have this adjustment, I'm going to check the left to right and that looks pretty good. Let me throw it out of wax. You can see how that would look if it wasn't balanced. You can see it's tilting to the right. I want to go this way. So this is the perspective that you would see if you were balancing the gimbal and this was facing you. So I want to just sort of push this lightly. Make sure it's unlocked and then slide it the appropriate way and then you can see it's still a little more tilted. I can't quite see it because I'm on the right but you just keep moving. If you go too far you're going to see it's going to want to tilt that way. So just make those tiny adjustments until you get it in the window there and then it looks good. So that looks pretty good there for me. I'm going to tighten that one. As far as this adjustment here, what you do is you put your camera like that and if it rolls this way or this way you undo this and you make an adjustment this way. So pushing that way or pushing towards yourself. And the trickiest one I find is this bottom adjustment. You would just turn this lever. There's two ways to do this. You can mount this on a tripod and have it point it sort of straight away from you or you can just tilt it. So if you tilt it and the camera doesn't go out of whack, either way I turn it, if you can see it's not really going out of whack, then you have it balanced. So once we have the gimbal balanced we can turn it on. Now we can go into the auto-tune function two ways. We can use the phone app or we can do it right from the gimbal itself and then we can auto-tune our current setup. So if you change to a different camera or a different camera and lens, you can auto-tune it for each setup. So I'm just going to use the app. So here's the app here and you can see we have parameter setting, remote control, creative video, camera setting, recenter, sleep, and I'm connected because it would say disconnect if I wasn't and you could see it's set for Sony multi. I don't have the cable connected but you can see my camera models there. Now if you have certain camera compatibilities you'll be able to see what you can control using the gimbal. Now if we go to parameter setting you can see we have motor setting, button functions, calibration, advanced setting, configuration. If I go to motor setting if you look down from below there you can see auto-tune. Now when I click auto-tune you're going to start to see some adjustments happening with your camera. So you could see that it's going to check each axis and make adjustments and auto-tune the setup for you. Make sure that the lock is not on because that could affect everything. So make sure that the lock that you have on the gimbal is not on. So it takes a few seconds and once it's auto-tuned you're pretty much good to go. Now another thing I want to mention too is the dead angle.  Now you can adjust this dead angle and what that does is it adjusts the amount of time that something happens. So for example if you're on a pan and you twist your wrist depends on what that setting is before that kicks in. So if you want it to kick in right away then set it for zero. But if you like to walk with your gimbal and then kind of make a little wrist adjustment and you don't want it to kick in right away you can adjust that. So you can adjust the pan tilt and roll. I have mine set for 15. So that's the dead angle. I have mine set for 15. You might want to experiment with that and see what you like. Now you can do everything. I'm going to click confirm for the auto-tune. Now you can configure everything on the app but you can also do it on the gimbal itself. So you can see here if we click on motor settings again we have all those settings there and then also if we go back out we have remote control. So you can use your phone app as the remote control. So for example if we want it to pan I have my pan set for slow. So you can see it's just a nice slow pan but you can adjust that pan speed. So you can do your pan, you can do your tilt, you can do your roll just by using the phone app. So that's pretty cool. I like that. Also you can see where it says speed right there and I can adjust the speed of the pan or the tilt either on the gimbal or using the phone app.  Now when I click on the remote you're going to see that this is going to happen a lot quicker. We're going to have a faster pan. So you can see now we have a faster pan and we're going to go back and then we're also going to go up. Now again you can use the joystick, you can use the follow modes or you can use this remote on the phone app. So there's just some of the features also as well we have our creative video where we have motion lapse, we have variable speed time lapse and we have time lapse. So I'll probably make another video in the future about that or you can always google it if you want to see how to do that right now. So that's the rundown on how to balance auto tune and some of the custom features of the Moza Air 2 gimbal. The box can also serve as a carrying case. At the top there's the tripod grip just below that is the carrying case for all of your camera cables. To the left are the rechargeable batteries. At the bottom you can see the battery charger. There's the main gimbal. Now you get two Manfrotto compatible mounts to mount your camera on. You can see there's a smaller screw and a larger screw. You get two of those and then there's the carrying case right there. I'm going to open it up. There's all the different cables. Check the owner's manual to see if it's compatible. There's a better look at the battery charger. So you just pop your batteries in there and you charge that via USB cable. Just a look at some of the accessories there. Now also too, once these turn green it's charged. It takes roughly about five hours and you also get a manual. Here's a quick look at some footage shot on the Moza Air 2 gimbal. Hey everybody it's Gary with here again. Thanks for watching this video.

They're going to be more up to date than I am on whatever is compatible and like I said if you have any support related questions they're probably the best to deal with. Anyway thanks again for watching this video. Give me a thumbs up and I'll see you in the next one.


Hello, earth citizens. In this video, I will show you a 10 minute routine to help train your mind to connect to your body. Do you sometimes feel like your mind and body are disconnected, like your mind is running a million miles per hour in every direction but your body is here and can't keep up with your mind? Many people, especially ones who are prone to a lot of thinking overthinking, experience this disconnection, mind and body. And this disconnection can cause feelings like anxiety, depression, nervousness, imbalance, frustration, all those really come from your mind and body disconnected. So today we're going to train your mind to stay connected to your body. Now I say train because it takes practice. Your mind connecting to your body, think of it as like a muscle. If you just work out your arms for one day, you're not gonna all of a sudden be in one day, right? With consistent practice of lifting weights, every single day you will see your muscles grow, grow, grow, grow until you get it the way that you want. So same thing with your mind as well. Just because we do this one time, don't expect that all of a sudden now I have great line body connection and I'm good. I don't need to practice ever again. That is not true. You need to practice this consistently and I will share with you some principles and tips on how to train your mind to stay in your body. So first of all, the most important place that your mind should reside is in your core. The term core gets used a lot in exercise and meditation and anywhere in between exercise and meditation. A lot of people talk about the core and that's because your core is the energy center of your body. So it's two inches below your navel. Find your belly button. My belly button is right here. Think of the place two inches below and then two inches inside. So it's in the middle of your body, not on the surface skin inside. And now we're going to tap this point using our fists. So I suggest making a number four, rolling your fingers and using the pinky side to gently tap here. And the reason for the tapping is because to bring your mind to a certain place in your body, you have to give it stimulation. So for example, if someone hit your arm like this, your mind goes here because it was just stimulated. Same thing. When you stimulate your core by tapping, don't think of it as punching or hitting. That's not the intention. Tapping. Have the intention of tapping your core. And your mind will start to gather here because simple fact of energy principle, energy science, where your mind goes, energy follows, where your mind goes, energy follows. And your mind goes where you stimulate it. If your mind is constantly outside, it's because you're so stimulated by what's going on outside of you. Flashing lights, pretty people, delicious food, those all pull your mind away from your body. So now close your eyes so you can focus on you. Don't focus on me. Focus on you. I'll just guide you through this exercise. Keep tapping your core that one spot, one spot, not two side by side, one spot, alternating one spot, two inches below your navel and two inches inside. And now in that point with your mind's eye, with your eyes closed and your mind's eye, imagine a point, draw a point two inches below your navel and two inches inside. Focus your mind on that point, the point that you are tapping directly above. And now your goal for the next few minutes is to focus only on this point, your mind, pull it all the way in and visualize a point, a bright red dot two inches below your navel two inches inside and let your mind stay there. I know it's not easy because you will have lots of thoughts come in and out of your body. That's okay. When the thoughts come when the emotions come just let them be you just focus laser focus your mind into that red dot that red dot two inches below your navel and two inches inside your mind visualize a red dot red dot inside of your navel. As if your third eye your mind's eye is looking in to your core and watching your core. Take note of how easy or difficult it is for your mind to stay remain in that one single red point. However easy or difficult it is for your mind to stay there that is the condition of your mind. That is your condition of your mind body connection.  Keep trying even though you feel your mind keep going out keep trying keep pulling it back keep pulling it back. This is a muscle you have to develop it won't be perfect with just one time practice. Stay there red dot red dot and now as you focus your mind on that dot you might feel some tension come up in your neck and shoulders. You might feel some tension coming up in your neck and shoulders.  Try to eliminate as much physical pain that can distract you from focusing on that point. Even though your neck is shaking side to side even though your head is shaking side to side your mind's eye your third eye is laser focused watching looking inside into that red dot in your core. One more minute one more minute 60 seconds solely focus on that red dot inside of your core two inches below two inches inside relax your body as much as possible when your body is relaxed your brain will relax when your brain is relaxed it will be able to focus better relax relax relax red dot red dot red dot two inches below your navel two inches inside in your core in the center of your body a red dot floating in the center of your body in your abdomen 30 seconds and stop rest your hands on your knees keep your eyes closed keep your mind looking inside into that red dot in your core imagine a bright red dot floating in the center of your body in your abdomen two inches below your navel two inches inside can you visualize that red dot well how did you do stay connected to that feeling that visualization and with your eyes closed reflect on how it went for you was it easy was it difficult what thoughts kept coming into you what emotions kept coming up were you able to even visualize the red dot are you able to see your mind body connection clearly take some time to reflect on the experience for yourself and now slowly open your eyes how did you do was it easy was it difficult for some people it may be pretty easy for some people it may be pretty difficult the condition of your mind body connection is totally reflective of how easy or difficult it was but don't worry it's natural for thoughts and emotions to come up that's totally okay you don't need to try to eliminate the thoughts you don't need to try to eliminate the emotions just let them be but you just focus on what you need to do even though there's distractions coming by you just focus on what you need to do and when you try and practice this every single day you will feel and see that it'll become easier to practice that mind body connection like this so that's what we practice by focusing on that single red dots your mind looking into your body you are building a bridge between mind and body to connect this way just like lifting weights to build muscles it takes practice every single day you'll see your mind body muscle becoming bigger and bigger stronger and stronger until it becomes so easy to focus inside and to yourself if you feel disconnected mind and body a lot you need to do this more frequently you did a great job to experience a full one-hour brain education based class please visit a local body and brain yoga studio near you


Okay, so we got a kind of an interesting predicament going on. A crisis of first world problems, if you want to call it that. Tenant tickets are on sale up here in Canada. I just bought mine. However, there is a catch. Not a single showing is in iMacs. I thought that at first maybe this might be a glitch, but it is for every single day past August 26th and it's not just for the iMacs that's close to me. I also checked another iMacs that's in an area that's a little bit of a waste for me. They're not showing anything either and I don't understand why considering this is a movie that was filmed entirely with an iMacs camera. I can look on the 25th of August and I can see that they're doing the 10 year inception anniversary thing.  I'm really going to be nipped if I just bought tickets and their website app is so garbage that they actually didn't update the iMacs showing. So then all of a sudden the iMacs showings are going to show up.  I thought that I didn't have anything else to choose from. Cineplex, figure out what the fuck's going on. You're the only one that has iMacs screenings out here. Also for those of you who are a bit nervous about going to the movie theaters, the best I can say is that they have done the best that they can in terms of making these places as safe as possible. They do have very very limited showings. For instance the theater that I'm going into there's a total of 41 seats. That's how few people are going to be able to see this movie and how much space you're going to have. And then they disinfect the entire theater afterwards. I'm pretty good. I wear my mask. I sanitize my hands. Hell when I go into the theater I even spray my seat sometimes, just be certain. Those are the precautions I'm taking. I understand that some people don't want to and I understand that you don't want to put yourself at risk in this sort of situation. Yes it is just a movie. I'm taking as many precautions as I can but I do want to see this movie in theaters. But yeah uh figure out what the hell's going on Cineplex as I have always counted on you guys to have one of the worst apps of all time in terms of viewing experiences, landmark, beat you to the bullet like with initiating and initializing their app users that hey guess what's coming, guess what tickets are available.  Anyways that's all from me. I hope you guys enjoyed this video. I guess we'll see when the iMac showings come up. I hope it's soon.


Oh, yeah, that's why we got lurker right there right there while we got lurker artists in the flat. Yes, sir Evan Ingram can score 30 fantasy points like since now like not counting what he already has Like on top of what he has now not the whole game Look y'all at books get all these cards.

You're right You got all the EA free handouts, but we're gonna be streaming all no more like we're boobs been You know in the morning grind. I mean, I got a snap to the ball. I just saw him shoot for this Come on, bro.     I can't do it.  All right.  Oh, yeah, that's why we got lurker right there right there while we got lurker artists in the flat Yes, sir. No, well, that's the best It's just no way woman From what I swear I hate baseline.  There you go Julius earn a spot then All time, bro.  Let's go man.  Well, honestly Forget what else here it is. Oh, it's DRC game I'm no sack. I don't need it. I'll get it again. I mean come on love. There's no way. That's an n-yard drop right there There's just no way in hell.  Ah, we had so much life Josh Well, let's go man strip buttons the best button in a game, baby For some reason I didn't put it like why don't I snap and throw that bitch, dude? Huge play good blocking. You gotta hit that. I don't care, bro You gotta hit that pass. You gotta hit that one. You gotta hit that in my home. That's like ball game. You just have to bro Julius Thomas is having himself a day. I can't lie Julius Thomas has had Julius Thomas kind of fighting for the spot. I can't lie. He's not having a bad day He's not having a bad day at all. Good guy. I was turboing to get away from that guy.  Oh, Julius. You would have been god I mean I put the play just throw to the tight end The problem was a little bit too much freestyle So I wasn't really comfortable with my read, but I put the right play out there We got a flat he shoots for it. The backside drag is just first down, but I don't make that read Just gotta be sharper dude gotta be sharper. I really the one thing about me I really mentally overestimate the user Like I see that motherfucker even if he's on the right side if he shoots to the tight end flat I'm over it, bro.  That's why we put him an outside linebacker I feel like milk too much I feel like he just tried to milk too much.  He was close to it I'm not gonna call timeouts for you, bro. Swear to god. I'm not Ggs Now you play great defense, bro Like it's just the same philosophy like a little bit of heat two men under press a third Just covered three pressing the two solo guys I had to start using the tight end way more and motion out the running back to stop that press on the solo side guy more Really, he just didn't score. Yeah, I know but like that's what I mean But it I don't I don't think he milked it because he he got down to the inside the 10 And now he's got to pass into the end zone like that shit is tough If you do it, you got it, bro. That's how I feel like it's not easy to do that I don't want like he was not able to run the ball inside the 10 yard line And I I feel like that's a w on defense Like if I don't got to worry about the rpo or the run or something like that I just don't think it's tough. I will I I'll live on that and if he and if he scores, I say good shit, dude That's how I feel The one play that it was as I should have just I I I should have took away that crossing route instantly.


So what was responsible for the industrial revolution is a whole chain of events and discoveries and ideas that come about in the West that lead us towards the industrial revolution and that are all necessary for the industrial revolution to actually happen. The industrial revolution is dependent on, you know, I think really two fundamental ideas that come out of the renaissance, the age of enlightenment and, you know, really the age, the 18th century, the age of enlightenment. The two ideas are reason and individualism. In individualism I lump in political freedom, the idea of political freedom and the idea of individuals as having rights. Reason is this notion that, you know, we are competent in knowing reality and understanding reality in, you know, with our senses, our senses are valid and we can know reality and we can manipulate what's happening in the world around us in predictable ways. And of course that understanding, that idea of reason leads to science and you couldn't have had the industrial revolution without the scientific revolution. The scientific revolution is a consequence of the, if you will, the bringing back of reason into Western civilization, it kind of got lost. Aristotle, big advocate of logic and reason and you go through a dark ages and Aristotle was brought back into Western civilization in some way around the 14th century and, you know, at some point this leads to, not accidentally, to a scientific revolution, you know, and whether it's Coponicus and Galileo and ultimately Newton and the rest of the science that goes through the 18th and 19th century. So the industrial revolution, which is basically a two prong revolution, it is a political revolution and it's an engineering business revolution, a dependent on the scientific revolution. So you can't have the invention of the steam engine and railroads and ultimately airplanes at the end of the kind of the industrial revolution and everything in between and industrialization of factories and automated sewing machines and all this stuff. None of this stuff could happen without first there being science and without respect for science and admiration for science. And without this idea that we can't in predictable ways manipulate reality, that is without this, without reason, without a huge, huge, huge respect for reason and, you know, bring everything before reason, that idea with which I think Jefferson articulates so well, that idea of the power of reason is what drives the industrial revolution. I mean, the idea that I can build a machine and it will continue to work and it's predictable what kind of products it'll make and that, you know, there are markets out there that I can predictably price, you know, so the whole science of economics, the whole science of business, all science of manufacturing, all those come out of reason and science. But none of that can exist. None of that can happen unless people are free, free to innovate, free to develop, free to manufacture, free to hire, free to sell, free to buy, right? Without the existence of a marketplace, a free marketplace in which innovation and all this can happen, the industrial revolution doesn't happen. So you need science and reason and then you need, now these are not unrelated, right? You can't get political freedom without reason. So the idea of political freedom, the idea of the autonomy of the individual and the reason the individuals are autonomous, because reason resides within the individual in a sense, right?  So we are autonomous, we have rights. Government is there to serve us by protecting our rights, that's the purpose of government. So whether it was explicitly articulated that way as it was in the American Revolution or whether it was implicit as it was in England or implicit as it was in many of the European countries, at least to some degree. It wasn't completely a notion of individual rights like it was in America, but it was implicitly and I think America developed faster because it was explicit. The industrial revolution was more successful than anywhere else in America because it was explicit and the second place was England because it was semi-explicit. It was almost there and remember those thinkers in the Enlightenment that developed these political theories were primarily British and Scottish or English and Scottish. So two ideas, reason science, that's one idea, political freedom is the second idea. Both of those ideas come together in the late 18th century. Again, the kind of the defining moment is the Declaration of Independence in the United States and they manifest themselves in this explosion of innovation, of increased production, of increased efficiency, of increased standard of living, of the creation of a middle class, of explosion of city populations, but at the same time a huge increase in the productivity of farming, huge increase in the productivity of food creation to feed all these people in the city. So the 19th century is one of the maybe the most miraculous, and I don't mean miraculous in the mystical sense, the most miraculous, misunderstood or least understood centuries in human history, but it is unbelievable what happens during that period and unfortunately most of the rhetoric about what happens in the industrial revolution has been defined by the left and by the progressives, by the anti-capitalist, and one of I think the goals of a pro-capitalist agenda needs to be to recapture the 19th century, to redefine it and re-explain it and re-describe it, describe what really happened, but to answer the question, reason, political freedom.
