Greetings and welcome to the Astronomy Picture of the Day podcast. Today's picture for January 8th of 2024 is titled The Phases of Venus. So what do we see here? Well, what we see is multiple images of the planet Venus. And Venus, much like our own moon, does go through a complete cycle of phases as it moves around the Sun. Now it really depends on our positioning and the positioning of Venus and the Sun, much like the moon phases do. Now this is very important. This is one of the discoveries that Galileo made back in the early 1600s with his small telescopes. Before this you could not see Venus as a phase. You need a telescope to be able to bring it close enough in appearance to be able to distinguish between the phases. And one of the things that Galileo noted is that Venus does go through phases just like our own moon. Now why was this so important? Well, the models at the time of the universe were either the heliocentric or Sun-centered model, or the geocentric or Earth-centered model. And under the geocentric model Venus would always appear as a crescent. That would be the only way to explain its motions through the sky and its position relative to the Sun. We would always have to see it as a crescent phase. However, under the heliocentric model with both Earth and Venus moving around the Sun, Venus could go through a complete cycle of phases. So that was one thing that really distinguished between these two models. One model could explain the observation, and one could not. So this really kind of showed that the geocentric model that had been used for over a millennium was really not correct. And were there other models that could still work? Well, there were some hybrid models that were used for a while, but at this point the heliocentric model was becoming much more accepted in the scientific community. Now here we see all these different images. We can see Venus is a very thin crescent in the lower images. And as we work around to the left it becomes a little bit more illuminated, reaching a quarter phase. And then as we go all the way around to the back we see it as a nearly full phase. Now the other thing that we note is that the size changes. Now the size changes because of the changing difference. When Venus appears as a crescent it is between us and the Sun. And that means it's closer to us. That's when Venus is at its closest and is going to appear the largest in the sky. Whereas when it's at the largest distance at the other side it will be on the opposite side of the Sun. Much more distant from Earth and it's going to appear significantly smaller. And you can see that big difference in size between the images that we see here. Venus being very large but a very thin crescent when it's close to us in the near part of its orbit. And being very small but nearly full when it is on the far side of its orbit. So here we see multiple images of that showing the cycle of the phases of Venus taken in 2015. But a cycle that repeats over and over again. So that was our picture of the day for January 8th of 2024. It was titled The Phases of Venus. We'll be back again tomorrow for the next picture previewed to be Thor's hat. So we'll see what that is about tomorrow. And until then have a great day everyone and I will see you in class.


A huge welcome to the sexual health series of vlogs. If you don't know who I am, my name is Claire Carmichael. I'm just heading into my third year as an adult nursing student. And if you do know who I am, thank you so much for following me as always. And I'm massive welcome back to you. One of the things I wanted to go over with you is actual sexual health testing. And I'm gonna show you actually how easy it is to do it from the comfort of your own home. You don't need to come into clinic to see anybody. You can do it from your own home if you don't have any symptoms. I'm gonna show you the process to do that. But first, I need to put in, as always, this disclaimer. So I'm just talking about where I work at the Umbrella Sexual Health Services across the whole of Birmingham. So if you live in a different part of the world or different city, town, wherever you live, it might be different. So just look up your local sexual health centres and see how they process and work things because wherever you are, they might not have home kits or self-testing kits that you can do at home. So just have a look and see what they do.  So if you are a little bit, I don't know how to say this word. I don't wanna offend anyone, but if you are a bit shy maybe or you don't like those sort of words, don't like the sound of those sort of words, I'm really sorry, but they are the technical words for those areas and we are talking about sexual health.  So if you don't have any signs and symptoms such as pain or discomfort, any discharge from down below that you're not expecting, if irregular bleeding patterns, any lumps, bumps, cuts, anything like that, no symptoms at all, then you can do a self-testing kit at home which tests for all of the infections that we test for in clinics, so chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV and syphilis because the blood testing is now part of the home kit service, which is amazing. Firstly, how to order a kit. So you need to go on the Umbrella Health website, I'll put the link below so you can have a look at it. Order your sample and kit online, you just need to put in your details, put in your name, address, just fill out a short form and they will post it straight to your home. They will post it into this completely sealed clear bag nobody's gonna know what is in it, so you don't have to be worried or embarrassed about people finding out because it's here. If you are worried and embarrassed, however, and you don't wanna get sent to your home address, you can send it to your local pharmacy or doctors, don't feel like doing it at home, you can pick it up and do it elsewhere and then post it before you go back home, if that makes sense. So that's that, but I have ordered one, I'm gonna go through the process exactly like you will and show you what's in the box and sort of explain how to do each test. So I have my pack, I'm going to open my pack up and show you what is inside and inside there should be a little brown box, I know because I packed these at work. So inside is your little brown box and you just open it and inside your box you will have all of this. So there'll be instructions on how to do the tests.  Also inside your box you'll have the little sample packet so you put all of your samples in there. Also on this you have labels as well so you're gonna have labels to put onto your samples so you put your label on your samples and put them in there and you will have your enclosed prepaid envelopes you don't have to pay for this, it's all completely free of service, I should have said that at the start. So you put everything in the prepaid envelope and that gets sent back to the lab. You have the testing sample kit instructions so you'll know exactly what to do. So I'm gonna start, I always start top to toe, okay? Anything to do is always top to toe, I don't know why, it's just the way I do things. So let's start with this swab, so the white and purple swab that's in the box, sometimes they might be white, they might be two of these ones, either way they all do pretty much the same thing.  So if you didn't know this already, you can get chlamydia and gonorrhea orally.  You're gonna need a swab from those areas. So I just wanted to cover the window period.  So basically things like chlamydia and gonorrhea can take up to two weeks to show in a test. So from the minute you have sex, count two weeks and that's when you should ideally be getting tested. But so if it's too early to test they might test you anyway and then you'll have to just do some repeat tests when it's hit that two weeks or plus mark if that makes sense. I hope that makes sense to everybody. But yeah, so two weeks after sex, get tested. And then for the blood samples, so for things like HIV and syphilis it can take between four weeks and 12 weeks to actually show in the blood. So you will do an initial blood test to make sure that you're completely clear from previous partners before this partner. And then after three months you'll be booked back in and have another blood test to test for things like that. Also we do test for hepatitis A, B and C if you're at high risk of that as well.  And if you're not at risk then they won't test for hepatitis. So the next swab is the orange swab. So this orange swab, these are called nap tests. So what they test for is the bacteria of chlamydia and gonorrhea. And something called TV as well, trichomonas paginosis. But we only test for that if you've actually got symptoms of itchiness, discharge, things like that down there. We will test for that then because then you usually get symptoms with that one. So unless you've got symptoms, we don't test for TV. So yeah, so this one's the vagina swab. And inside, so this is your swab. It's got a fluid in there that needs to stay in the part because that's where your swab's gonna go into and stay in there. So inside this swab you have got a cotton bud. So that just gets inserted just a couple of centimetres into the vagina. And then once you've inserted it you have to give it a really good swirl so it lines all of the vagina walls, gets all of the cells off there for about 10 seconds or so. So take your swab, put it into the part, putting the cotton bud into the fluid and then there's a black line on the stick. There'll be a black line. So take your swab, put it into the tub, snap it off where the black line is and then you're gonna close the lid. Quite a lot of people try and push it through the foil pack because they see the foil pack and they go, oh yeah. So they're trying to push it through but that's actually quite strong and people usually get confused with that one to be honest. And I can see why because I would probably do the same if I didn't know how to do it myself. So that is the vagina swab. The same with the oral swab. So you're just taking the swab from the roof of the mouth at the very, very back as far back as you can go and then the same thing. You put it into the part, snap it off, close the lid, done. And that's literally all we do. These are the exact same tests that we do in clinic. These are no different to any other tests that we do. These aren't special weird ones that you do at home. These are the exact same tests that we do or give to you in clinic to do yourself. So there's nothing different. It's well worth doing it at home if you can do it at home and you've got no symptoms. And the next one is the finger prick test. So to be honest, I find this really, really hard. I do finger prick tests quite a lot at work on other people. And when we first launched these new finger prick tests at home, a few of us actually took a sample home with us and we did the test at home to sort of test them out. And I found it very, very hard. If you look how big that bottle is to actually fill it with blood from a finger but they do give you three lancets.  But if you can't feel it, don't worry. You'll probably maybe get a text message or a phone call just to say that they couldn't take the sample for HIV and syphilis and you might just have to pop into clinic just for purely for the blood test bit. But there's a lot of things that you can do to help the flow of the blood in the hands. So the first thing is have warm hands. So you wanna like rub them.   Make sure you've got the good amount. So once you've done that, then you wanna aim sort of towards more to the side of the finger rather than actually the center of the finger because the skin is a lot thinner and the blood flows a lot better. So try it, do it on the side. A lot of people go for the middle though. You wanna do it that way, that's up to you. But that's literally how you do it. So, prick in your finger, this gets opened. You're gonna pour the blood bit by bit into the tub. Hopefully you'll get enough. But it is quite tricky, so maybe if you feel comfortable you could get someone to help you with the finger prick test and if you don't feel comfortable doing it on your own or you're really struggling, you can always get someone to help. And so that is literally it.  Then you'll do your swab from the vagina.  There'll be no swabs on the penis.  And that is literally it. And then once you've done your swabs, label them, put them in the pack, put them in the envelope, post it, done. It's as simple as that. You never know, it only takes one time to catch a sexually transmitted infection without a condom. So one, make sure you're using condoms. Two, if it splits or you don't use a condom or things happen in the moment, these things happen. Nobody's gonna judge you. So if that does happen, get yourself tested and be safe, that is the main thing.  Make, just be sensible. One, again, use condoms until you both know that you're both clear of any infections from previous partners.  I know that might be a little bit awkward situation, a little bit embarrassing, but if you're both open and honest about it and just say, you know what, let's be sensible, let's go get tested. Get on contraception so that we don't get pregnant, that get the pill, implant, injection, whatever, your choice of method of contraception is. And then when you've both been tested, you're both negative. On contraception, you're not gonna get pregnant. Then you can both say, okay, we're both in a monogamous relationship and we can remove the condoms and just be with each other. And that's just, if you really don't like condoms, then that is probably the safest and best way to have healthy sex with your partner, if that makes sense. I hope that makes sense. But that's something we always advise with people, just be safe, be sensible, and just get tested because you just never know. And also, I just wanted to end it on a final note. If you do have symptoms or you do wanna come into clinic rather than doing a self-testing kit at home, I'm just gonna advise you that it is 100% confidential. We don't approach your GP. It doesn't go on your NHS number, anything like that. It's nothing to do with your doctor's surgery, anything. It's 100% confidential. Your notes are your notes on that one system and that is it. It doesn't go anywhere else. We're not allowed to tell your family members, your partners, nothing. So it is confidential service. What you come and tell us is completely confidential and those four walls. So please don't panic. And we're really, really friendly. We're lovely and nice. We're completely non-judgmental. No one's gonna judge you for whatever you get up to is your business. We just want you to be safe and protect yourself. And the next thing I want to say is if you do come in, please be warned that we do ask really personal questions about your sex life. We're not being nosy. I swear to God.  But the only reason we ask these questions, I promise you it's not to be nosy. I've just said this, it's not to be nosy. It's just so we know that we're testing the right areas because we need to swap the places that you've had sex from. And if the amount of partners is the amount of risk that you're taking. So if you've had sex with eight or more partners in one year, you're more at risk for things like hepatitis. So that's when we would add the testing for hepatitis onto the blood tests. Also the country of where your partner's from, there could be more risk of hepatitis as well. So that's mainly why we ask those sort of questions.   But we just wanna make sure that you are safe, protected and sensible about it. That is all. So I hope this video has been really informative. I hope it's put you at ease a little bit about doing these sort of tests because it's nothing, it's honestly, it takes two seconds and you'll be done, you can have a weight lifted off your mind and know that you're 100% clear of any infections. So that's it, thank you so much for watching. This is part one, part two is coming soon. So I've got some, a good few videos on sexual health related stuff coming up and hopefully you'll enjoy it. And yeah, so apart from that, have a great week guys. It's the year 2019, kicking off this year with a bang.


Ladies and gentlemen, United States. Hello there. Thank you. Well, Madam President, Madam President, Madam Vice President, Faith, and all of you, good afternoon and welcome to the White House. I know that each of you went through a long selection process to come to Girl's Nation, and just like your families and your friends and communities, I'm mighty proud of you too. This week in Washington, you've been preparing to become leaders of our nation. Yet many of you probably just wonder what kind of a world it is that you're getting into. Well, indeed in many or in recent years, many claim that we were living in a world of limits where all nations, even those as bountiful as our own, would have to learn to live with less. And not too long ago, there were people telling us that while there was a report published that was called The Limits to Growth, and that title, Limits to Growth, said it all. When I was about your age, our country was in the midst of the Great Depression of the 30s. Back then, it got so bad that the federal government used to put regular ads on radio, and the ads were telling you, stay home, don't leave home looking for work. There are no jobs. And if there ever was a time to talk about Limits to Growth, it was then. And here we are just a half a century later. The American people are enjoying a standard of living that no one in the 30s could even have imagined. During the past 50 years and every decade, employment in our nation rose on average by about 12 million. That means 12 million new jobs provided every year because of our growth. Real income per person rose on an average of over 30%. Today, more Americans live longer, eat better, and are better able to raise and educate their children than ever before.  Think of the wonders we take for granted that didn't even exist when I was in high school. Things like jet travel, television, television. The movies then were still silent. They didn't even have sound. Computers, of course, and now all those journeys out into space. Maybe this week some of you visited the Air and Space Museum. If you did, you saw Charles Lindbergh's airplane, the spirit of St. Louis, that one little plane in which he flew for the first time across the Atlantic Ocean. Just a few decades later, the single engine spirit of St. Louis has given way to the space shuttle, Columbia, and Challenger, and all the others. Your generation stands on the verge of greater advances than humankind has ever known. America today is leading the world in a revolution that is ranging from tiny microchips to voyages through the vast dark reaches of space from home computers that can put all the great music, film, and literature at a family's fingertips to new medical devices and methods of healing that could add years to your lives and even enable a handicap to walk and the blind to see. There are no such things as limits to growth because there are no limits on the human capacity for intelligence, imagination, and wonder. And sometimes, I must tell you, having seen that other earlier time, it strains my imagination when a man handed me a little something and told me that this was a part of one of our satellites up there that could put the entire encyclopedia Britannica, reproduce it in three seconds. Now, I can't envision that taking place, but this is the kind of world we're living in.  It was the invention of the internal combustion engine that turned oil into a resource, and they found out something to do with it, and today that resource fuels our world economy. And just ten years ago, sand was nothing more than the stuff that deserts and beaches are made of. Well, today we use sand to make the silicon ships that run computers and guide satellites. So if I can leave you with one last thought, it is this. In the vast and wonderful world that God has given us, it's not what's inside the earth that counts, but what's inside your hearts and minds, because that's the stuff that dreams are made of, and America's future is in your dreams. Make them come true. Thank you, and God bless you. Mr. President, on behalf of Girls Nation 1984, in appreciation for all the hard work you've done and a job well done, I would like to present you with this plaque. Before you, Mr. President, sit the present leaders, youth leaders, all across the nation. I think I can speak for all of us that you have been an inspiration to us all, now and in the future. Good luck in your campaign, and we'd all love to see you here in the White House for another four years. Mr. President, on behalf of 98 Girls Nation Senators who represent the youth of this country, I hereby present to you a copy of our legislation which we have passed and considered within our session. I bet I like this better than some that I've been getting from you. Thank you all very much. Thank you. I look forward to reading this. I have a nice weekend coming up at Camp David, and I'll take this along so that I can read it. And then you don't mind if I, sort of with a challenging look on my face, show it to the Congress when they come back. It was just saying that it was a nice endorsement, a lovely endorsement that I got. Yes, it was. I appreciate it. Thank you all very much. Thank you. Thank you all.

Alrighty, so you just got off of Yukon Stryker, what did you think?  No, don't worry, super forceful, the loop was like ridiculous. I agree, Val Raven's redundant, it's redundant. Val Raven's redundant. Don't even bother with it. The second half, I'll say the first half was so good that I didn't really care The second half is just gatekeepers on a day or something. You're right, it's exactly like gatekeepers. The first thing is gatekeepers on a day. And the operations are amazing. I put up my phone in the band and tried to record a Q&A and it just flopped over. It was cool, it was a cool system. Candle's Wonderland as a winner. If you could change one thing about it, what would it be? That's the strengths. I'm still not a fan of them. Since the ending it put a zero G role or a hard line role. Yeah. You can get Alan Shilke a collab on this. Alan Shilke collab will be in a video. So you would rank Leviathan over this still, right? Yes! Sorry, sorry. Alright, so definitely go check out El Tor Ryan down in the description below. His channel is absolutely amazing and his vlogs are definitely legendary. You'll see a little Uncle Nate on the videos. Uncle Nate? Alright, we're going to go ride some other trash coasters. Spinebuster. Awesome, thanks so much guys.


I'm involved in programs here at Fleming College, as well as other programs with the youth of Trent University, a program called Tracks, which starts with Trent University, which now bear cultural knowledge and science, as well as a language on the land language program and camp out of the Durham District School Board, and also working with teachers in that school board and other facilitators of business portfolio in that school board as well. We work actually with Durham, like we have, there was like a newborn that was there in our summer program, spring summer program, and some as old as, well, some retired teachers and individuals who are, it was a family group. So we had grandparents, we had parents, children, and then the youngest was a newborn who was only a week old, that came through our program, so we were really trying to promote families and Anishinaabemowin, that would be a whole family experience that would go from our particular gatherings on the land, at an outdoor education center and conservation center north of Port Perry, and from that experience into the homes, that way the language would become useful for them and those experiences that they would have collectively as well. We thought in that program it would be important not just for the students to be exposed to the language Anishinaabemowin in the program, but to include the families, the parents, the grandparents, and that way they could share it and take it home and make it useful for themselves. And with Trax we work with different age groups, as young as Junior Kindergarten, right up to high school, and we do some instruction even with future teacher candidates. We have the University Student Age as well, and in that program we also do mentorship where we have students who have been within our program for about five or six years, and they begin to become older and older, so we get them to mentor younger students who are part of our program and teach them a little bit of, or give them that space to do some instruction and teaching for younger students to say, you know, this is highly valuable perspective when it comes to indigenous science and western science and weaving the two, and so they get to do some mentorship and leadership as well within that program, and here at Fleming College we do with college age students, and we have a lot of students who are as young as 17 and 18 coming right out of high school, and we have some returning students and mature students or students that are looking for another option for our career, so they have come back to school and some of them are in their 50s and 60s. I would start with my own personal intention, why I want to work with these programs or, you know, always find the opportunity to engage with learners and students or educators and be a part of the learning experiences in my family, like I had the opportunity to be exposed to my own culture, Nishinaabe language, and not everyone has that exposure or had that opportunity to know, so there's a little bit of a responsibility to share that and to promote it, to make it accessible for learners, for the youth especially, and that's where a lot of my intention lies is that when growing up, the individuals took the time to teach me or expose or take the time to show me these things, I kind of feel a responsibility to continue that as well and connect to the youth and make it available and accessible for them and they know there's a value in it and I want to reaffirm that or empower that, that everything that they're being exposed to or that they're knowing is going to be an important factor to themselves as well as to the next generation and how they carry it, so my own intention with working in those programs is to really inspire that indigenous youth or indigenous people we have a lot to offer and so I bring that to all the programs that I work with, is that passion or that motivation that I have, responsibility that I carry to share those things and to make it meaningful or rational to take out some of the misunderstandings or mysticisms of the way our culture might be and then more specifically like in Dermdisch School Board, the intention there is to make the language useful and make Anishinaabe more useful to all ages and so that way they can carry it outside of the home as well as understand it and have some experience with it, the living aspect of the language. So in my family that's one thing that they really promote and speak about so I try and mimic that or try and align myself with that importance that the language shouldn't always be translated into another language or that we should learn Anishinaabe when as a second language that we should embody it and understand the life of the way the language is meant to be or the way our ancestors had spoken the language and what I've seen it do for the youth is it inspires them and they've had inclinations or intuition that there's more to who we are as people culturally and in terms of our identity so inside of them it inspires them to say I knew there was more and now they're being exposed to it and here at Fleming we work with indigenous and non-indigenous students and so we begin to try to empower or attempt to empower the student to have a way of connecting with indigenous knowledge indigenous peoples lands and territories as well as creation utilizing an indigenous way of knowing or pedagogy or philosophy that all life entities are equal and just as important as themselves and that we are able to do what we can do because of those relationships we have with each other with our communities, with our knowledge and with the environment so we try and promote this importance of honoring all of those relationships and the things that have made it possible that we can do what we can do something as easy as the relationship to the air to the water, to the plants, to the animals and to each other to our families and our communities and to honor those relationships and to be motivated then to treat everyone as equals or as living beings and inspire or further inspire some of their passions at Fleming like we work with 13, 14 different programs it's mandatory that they have to take an indigenous perspective course and then they begin to have the historical context and understanding of how history has evolved and how the relationship between indigenous and non-indigenous peoples in Canada has evolved and why there is complications today and then we get them to really be critical in thinking of how to be proactive and how to utilize their own positionality their own gifts and abilities to work towards making better relationships better choices, more informed choices based upon that context and engage within their career field in a better way so really try and give them those tools and further develop those gifts that they've been given in passions whether it be in the helping roles or in the environmental roles in the justice careers that they're going to be going into and at Trax again it's kind of a little bit of all of that where we really want to reinforce this value of indigenous science base, Anishinaabe has science base that indigenous peoples have long been employing rational methods of hypothesizing things and theorizing things and putting things into practice that we were able to quantify some of the qualities that is a scientific inquiry we have a very rational way of connecting with the lands with the resources and those relationships and to demystify those things for the youth to say there are real importance to these relationships and knowledges that we carry based upon their experiences many of the indigenous students that come to Trax they carry this stuff already so we want to reinforce that we want to give them opportunities to grow their experiences that they already have based upon their knowledge that may have come from their own families their own experiences in their communities or their own pursuit of indigenous knowledge as well so we really try and harness that to say you are highly valuable in the knowledge that you carry as well as as youth you have a high value to grow and to share your knowledge to pursue that knowledge and inspire them that whatever they set their mind to they can accomplish and to know that now more than ever we need indigenous knowledge to begin to be a part of society and that everyone begin to see the value and the use to honor all of our relations whether it be an idea of Nui Kanagana or a Kinamo Shin or an exercise what Mino Domatsuin really means in terms of responsibility to the South to each other and to our families to our communities to all people to the lands, to the resources that there is a science based there that says we can't go without any of those entities or without any of those webs of relationships that are all counterparts and the envisionment of creation or the envisionment of the intention of creation and the term that we use is in Komotas Agashé which really describes that we're a part of the balancing act of creation humans in relation to all of creation so we're a part of that intention so we need to continue to be exist and promote well-being and I would really speak to again like being a youth and growing up is not always feeling valued or honored or having the confidence that the knowledge and experiences that I carried were not always promoted but luckily I had the privilege of having individuals who did that and it took the time to do that for me so you know, especially for our youth and they really need that they need that space they need that opportunity to know that they're highly valued their gifts to our people their minds and their perspectives are very, of course, part of that diversity of how they are experiencing and part of, again, the energy or the potential and the potency of how the next generation will be exposed to indigenous knowledge and do that engaging with all other knowledges that we see today in evolution or acculturation that occurs to exposure of other ways of knowing other methods, other scientific inquiries that enhance each other so an idea that we use is the idea of the two I see and I like including that idea of periphery which is utilizing as many methods or as many ways of knowing and describing as much as possible to embody that to fully understand and make true or, you know, the method of ande bue win which describes, you know, that people understand the truth based upon their own experiences but then they're able to share their own truths and help other people see the way they might see it so having a grander way of describing it and making it rational or sharing experiences with other people then really adds to that truth and truth seeking or knowing and learning and the methods of learning and actually seeing, when you're seeing something and knowing what you're actually seeing and not missing it because like in my experience learning about the lands and the resources and specifically about medicines there would be a lot of times when I would be walking on the land or in the bush where, you know, I wasn't able to identify so many plants and so many trees and I would walk by them and not know the identity of what I was walking through or who I was interacting with and getting to know now, you know, the nishnaabean names for plants nishnaabean names for animals and entities and creation, you know, and really taking the time to say, well, why is this plant or why is this entity called this and then, you know, those interactions and that rapport building with those landscapes and those specific entities, they reveal themselves to you and then you get to see like this is what they're revealing in terms of their identity and you get to know those plants so anytime you pass by a plant that you've built a rapport with and got to know what you interact with then you're not going to just pass by it, you're going to want to say something or you're going to want to acknowledge that plant and that entity and then same with people the more you interact with people and get to know people then you're going to want to, you know, share some energy or share some words share some interactions with even people and entities so that they'll know what they're seeing when we're exposed to or we'll know what kindness and care or responsibility looks like and hopefully inspire others to, you know, want to know about our culture to see the value in our culture of practices our ways of knowing, our science based and know that it's real, you know, it's not something that is stuck in the past mysticism that is highly valued within the institution like we are required to do certain evaluation pieces that, you know, I try though to employ even within the institution Anishinaabe Pedagogy or Akinomage format of teaching of putting it all together and so I use different formats and it kind of would be unrealistic to ask any student, okay, now it's time for test it's time for a test and I'm going to test you on you know what our experiences were what I had said or I want you to you know do it exactly the way I did it or tell it the way I told it or reiterate it the way I had done it and that would be, you know, really undermining the whole approach of promoting diversity and honoring the students' own perspective so the way I would be, you know, I guess an indicator that the work that I'm doing is useful as sometimes having conversations with some of the students and asking explicitly like how are you experiencing it what have you been picking up what could I do better or what could we we do better within the classroom or within our interactions who would we need as well outside of our group and outside of our classroom that would be useful or are there places where we need to go and all the answers kind of give me an indicator that it is driving their motivation to learn more or that there are things that they're picking up and I get them to even talk with each other to say, you know, because they might be reluctant to tell me exactly how they're experiencing it or they may not want to give me the criticisms all the time so I get them to talk with each other or do different means of evaluating it or do the anonymous kind of suggestions that they could give to me that way they, you know, would feel most comfortable sharing the other indicators, like there's so many stories I can share where I've seen, you know, the effect of a student engaging with Anishinaabemowin or engaging with the lens and the resources and with our culture or with our practices, with our sciences where, you know, you just see it on their faces or in their demeanor, in their body language where they begin to open up they begin to be excited, you know, and I know it reminds me when I see students going through that or individuals going through that because I know that's what has done for me as well is that it has motivated me it inspired me, grounded me, you know I found healing in it I found inspiration in it and I see it happening to other people as well and it reminds me, you know and it motivates me to keep going that it is helping one of my favorite stories that I like to share that I ask permission for from one of my students where she never talked and she had been someone who was in the Chalawau for our system and had not too much exposure to Anishinaabemowin culture in any means and many people who worked with her and even other peers, they said yeah, she wouldn't hardly ever talk or hardly ever say anything but we knew that, you know she was highly intelligent, very good at school and when we were having our class language Anishinaabemowin on the land or Akinomoshin she began to utilize the language to find her voice and begin to speak and started out as simple introductions and introducing herself to getting a handle on other words that were useful in conversation to other words that are useful in applying or identifying the experiences that she had with the landscape or with the environment and she began to share those things and after five weeks of interaction I didn't get to experience this but I only heard from her teachers that she presented and introduced herself in a class assembly to her peers in the language and it totally astonished her peers and other teachers that she had begun to find her voice and then share it and be very proud of it and she would tell people with clear confidence that she was an Anishinaabe individual and begin to carry it like with confidence and tell people explicitly so those stories or those examples it's not just about how many words she had remembered or how many things she could translate or how many ideas in English she could bring into an Anishinaabe perspective but it was really seeing the value of how she carried it and what it meant for her and how the language connected to her so I would say that's sort of beyond test or beyond test scores and the way someone might have a great percentage or whatever it might be that's sort of how I would evaluate what it has meant for the person and how it has ignited their own fire or field or their own motivation reminds me of a term my grandma used to say to me every morning she would say a command she would say and she would say every now and then in English after she would say find the reason to light your own fire find a reason to light your own passion or motivation to get up in the morning and there would be times where I wouldn't feel very I would be tired or I couldn't sleep very well and she would say I already told you you have to get up you have to find the thing inside that you're motivated to do what you're intended to do that's the way I would see it for the students is that they're inspired to continue to feel the motivation and continued motivation to take life and to love their life and to be motivated to expand their gifts and abilities and make choices based upon their growth growing up I always thought what would make things perfect what would make things in the best situation the best possibility and just letting that dream go through like in the best case scenario another thing I would think my grandpa my grandpa David told me he said David oh he would say we shouldn't really divide ourselves or look at each other as different he would say that we're all human our responsibility as humans to know what life is about based upon our own truths and we should know what our responsibility to life is and he would say that's the only thing we really own in life is our responsibility and carrying out our responsibility and he would tell me that's what makes us all is this way we carry out life and the exercise of life and expanding how we would carry out our responsibility to life within us to the life around us the life that comes to us and throughout us and the life that we put out into creation he would tell me that's what it means to be an Anishinaabe person or a person in relation to other people and other life forms individuals that we might describe as other than human entities within creation and it reminds me of a term that someone had mentioned recently is the term that Anishinaabe used for Canada is Akina Ode the way we might apply that term as Canadians or as individuals who carry Akina Ode is that everything we would do would be based upon our heart ability our gift ability, our intuition but as well as our rational being and everything that we do and carry out would be our life and to empower life not just for ourselves but for all of creation and for the continuation of life and we see that within the term Anishinaabe we see that in the term Akina Oshin in the pursuit of knowing we see that in the term Minno-Bomatsu in the term Nui-Kanaganai it all is just pursuit and reciprocal to creation and what creation has granted us and so I would say in terms of education my hope is that there would be a time when everyone would be confident in knowing about the life that they carry and the ability of the life that they carry in relation to all of creation and the effects everything that we do has an effect on the next generations both human and other than human beings and that we would be mindful and know that there is a responsibility to be kind be gentle, respectful reciprocal to those ones that are not yet here those ones that are yet to come and knowing that everything that we do someday the next generation will inherit and there will be this energy that will be transferred to those generations and that's what I see in that term that we describe as ourselves here within this nation as Canadians and the Nishinabet translation or pronunciation of it is Akanade and what that responsibility carries is that we would be mindful of ourselves in relation to all of creation and that we would honor that relationship that we would not be here or we would not be who we are if it wasn't for our relationships to our families our communities our people and our neighbors our territories creation all the entities of creation the land the resources the plants, the animals all the elements and all that knowledge that they bring and share and the way they govern themselves in terms of natural laws they're basing it upon their own ability and their free will and so that would inform everything that we do so that's what I that would be in my sort of envisionment of kind of educational outcome is that everyone begins to either know or is in a process of developing and being critical to inform what their responsibility is to themselves and to each other and to all of creation and the idea of Nui Kanaganah we're all related we're all connected we all have this responsibility to each other not just to us here in this time or in this moment but the continuation and perpetuity of time and that energy that is going to be shared just further utilizing what is being done there's so many good examples of what people are doing far and wide within Canada, within North America or Mishikem and Nising and Angashkar Gmekwe throughout the world we're not just talking about it or utilizing the theories and the philosophies of it but we're putting it in the practice so experiential learning would be an avenue where bringing people together to experience things and bringing restoring some of those practices that all the cultures would have and having that opportunity to share those narratives from those ways of knowing and knowledges, learning processes of knowing that people have in diversity throughout our territories throughout our our regions or throughout our world as well and there's opportunities that are happening where people are engaging in that way the one that I would for myself where I would like to learn more is on the land with individuals who have the time and the energy and who are honored to come out and do some of that instruction and teaching experiential type learning getting outside of the classroom I know there is use and need to utilize classroom setting and opportunity and the work that I do is to take the students to get out of the classroom because in my experience and the way many of my teachers have taught me even within my own family it's better to see it in action it's really good to see it and experience it in those moments, in those places rather than just talking about those places or talking about those experiences to really get those hands and those eyes and those senses right connected to it and I remember a thing the reason why I really would stand by that idea is my great grandpa who gave me my name he was a very old old man the pillar in my life growing up I was a little bit anxious and I talked to him one time and I said what am I going to do when you're gone I'm not going to have this type of knowledge base I'm not going to have you I know for my entire life but I know there's going to be times in my life where I'm going to want to have you in my life and he looked at me and he says well you will always have a teacher because where do you think our knowledge came from where language came from you know he said that's where you go as you go to where where our knowledge and our traditions where our practices all came from where they've been informed from and I didn't always understand what he meant when he said you go to the source of that knowledge you know and so I didn't understand until later where you know I'm going out to the land and taking that time to interact with the land sometimes in solitude individually or sometimes with other individuals who are able to do some of that translation and facilitation of knowing what we're seeing when we're on the land and knowing what those experiences are as well as all the reinforcement of the different tools that we utilize whether it be cultural knowledge and practices and ceremonies or the way we would build a rapport and approach all of creation that's what he was talking about and it's within that term of kind of motion is that the lands and the resources and creation is there and is communicating it kind of sounds weird but they're exposing the knowledge that they have and through a rapport and through a connection then we begin to build understanding about what we're seeing and whether it be you know the way an ecosystem or the way entities within an environment govern and establish their relationships and work collectively together or in a cycle over a time or an evolutionary process and we are affected by that as people or as individuals who are living amongst creation like that so it really made sense to me and what I sort of hold dear in the way I like to facilitate my classroom or any knowledge I'm trying to share is how to utilize my own experiences my own narratives as well as the way I envision it in my mind so I utilize movement and I utilize other people's diverse experiences and try and facilitate sharing those experiences and the way other people are connecting to ideas on philosophies and sciences and understandings and then experiential learning so every kind of possible method I can to give individuals every view of what we're experiencing or what we're seeing and what our responsibility would be or what the learning would be so I would say every resource possible and individual and the work that they're doing and even for myself I try and make relationships with other educators who are doing some very amazing work and facilitating in a very innovative and creative way and it helps me also get over some of my own shyness to be expressive or to utilize movement or to utilize song to utilize Nishinau Ben-Win to speak the language more to utilize it within my every every day and to not be so shy to utilize all those very kind of I guess putting yourself out there kind of methods I'm not a a singer or a dancer or an actor of any sense there's very different methods that are being used to help embody knowledge and utilize knowledge where it's not just something that is external from the student or from the learner it's something that they utilize physically, mentally, emotionally and energy-wise embody that idea of Deb Wei-Win is that the truth becomes fully visible on the person that's the way I would sort of describe that term in an idea is that because it radiates from the person and everything that they do and you can see it it's conducive within everything that they do or it informs everything that they do and they become conductors of how creation exists within them or how they interact with creation and hopefully being reciprocal and minding their responsibility to to sharing or to give back or to sharing what they know with other people


Welcome to Toffy TV, it's a match reaction. Crystal Palace 3, Everton 1, another defeat for Everton, it's seven in the last eight games. It's a very very worrying run of form. Obviously Monday we beat Arsenal in a comfortable victory and today we've reverted to pre-Arsenal with a very poor performance. The first half of form was shocking and the second half wasn't much better in my opinion. The manager lost Alan before the game. Fabian Delph, Andre Gomez came into the side at three in the field, which is what a lot of people, including myself, was hoping for. Not that three, but we had three in the field. Still no look at the end, so quite clearly that problem hasn't been resolved. Everton just didn't start well and you know after five minutes with Everton what kind of a game it's going to be. He was second best to everything, Palace bost it. When you're seeing stats after 15 minutes that Palace have had 80% of the ball. You start to worry about what direction we're going in. Just overall because that is not very good at all. Given the money we've spent, given the players we had on the pitch, Crystal Palace should not be having 80% of the ball. So it was what it was. Everton never really only done anything in the first half and Damari Gray had a good run and shot and Andre Gomez had a volley after Ben Godfrey had done fantastic which ran through. But we never put our foot on the ball, never really looked like we'd got any kind of control in the game. Crystal Palace, especially Connor Gallagher was brilliant, but we knew he'd be the danger man. His heart was quiet really, threw himself on the floor a few times, which is what he does, but he is a threat. But Connor Gallagher was, and I thought Edward had a good opening half an hour before he faded. But we didn't cause Palace any problems at all. They were comfortable in everything they did. And they took the lead quite frustratingly due to a mistake. Damari Gray, don't know what he was doing. Really, Michael Keane should have blocked the first cross, just stands off at you. It's really poor defending from Keane. It was poor all afternoon in all fairness. Allowed the cross to come in. Coleman couldn't get it away properly. It's a terrible ball back towards Michael Keane who still shall come and close the cross. Now he doesn't. And Connor Gallagher sweeps home. I use cross to give Palace the lead. And a deserved lead, you have to say that at halftime.  We didn't for the opening 15 minutes. Just still very flat. We can see the second goal which is an abysmal goal to concede. It's a foul.  Absolutely awful. He got everything wrong. Such a poor referee. We know this anyway but he was terrible. But it was a foul on Coleman by Zahar. He dragged them down. A blatant foul. Didn't give it. Palace break. Get a corner. You know what's coming. The ball comes in. It's 2-0. Ben Goffrey just deciding to not bother Markham. James Tompkins at the fire post. And when it drops to him, he reacts quicker than Pickford and it's 2-0. And you know then it, you know, you can't see it coming back. Everything coming back from there. The manager then made... If Richard Charleson is injured, then I'll hold my hands up and say I've got this wrong. But he didn't look injured to me and he didn't look like he was injured coming off the pitch. He was fuming with the substitution. He took Richard Charleson off when you're 2-0 down with over half an hour to go. Crazy for me. Really poor substitution. Ronddon come on. There was other players who should have gone off really. Tans ended up at the dreffel game. Really the Gomez was really poor.  Ronddon scramble the goal back. Let's be honest, probably the only way he was ever going to score for us. Foot off the goal line with no keeper there. Getters back in the game and then Pallas panicked a bit then and we... You could start a sense. We could get something out of the game. Ben Godfrey done brilliance on an overlap. Give it to Ronddon. I thought he should have just dated first time. But he held it up and rolled it back. Tans end shot deflected wide. And then we had the best opportunity of the whole half. A lovely move. Tans end done really well. Played a 1-2 with Goble Gum. Played a 1-2 with him. Race through. Should have netted his first ever goal. He had the Marey Gray Square as well. I think Ronddon was in there as well. Went for glory himself. Keeper made a brilliant save. Come out and the core. I almost swept it in. It didn't go in. It was that moment where if you score, you've made the right decision. If you miss, people will point the finger. And Anthony Gordon, unfortunately, will have the finger pointed at him. Because if he rolls that square for Gray, he can sweep it in for 2-2. And then Everton. It was navy for Pallas. The manager did exactly what he did against Brentford. 10, 12, 15 minutes left. Ticking down the clock. Ella Sims still on the bench. Couldn't throw another striker on him. Really gone for it. Trying to get an equaliser. Didn't make that third sub. Apollon, for me, in my opinion, you might disagree. Didn't let the time ever weigh. We just couldn't really create anything after that golden chance.  Still 3 minutes to go. When she aimers Coleman makes a ridiculous decision to try and smash the ball again. He might smash the ball against IU because he was in the way. Whether he wanted IU to be booked, I don't know. Why? Because we would have got a free kick IU to being booked. And we'd have just ran up to the halfway line. We could have done that anyway. But he decided, because he had a coblon to kick through IU, kicked the ball straight to Crystal Palace player. It banters off Bentechee, I think it might be. And Gomez gets it. He has to put his foot through it and he doesn't. He keeps hold of it and tries to flick it round Gallagher. Takes it off him and bends it in the top corner for a brilliant goal. And give Palace the victory in overall fully deserved it. Everton really poor today. And I don't know where we go from here. You know, one win in nine games or ten games. Really poor. Lost seven of the last eight. Really, really poor. I don't know. I've said it before, managers lose the job after losing three or four games on the run. And here we are, we've lost seven out of eight. So I don't know what will happen with the manager. But really poor from Coleman. And it's three-one Palace this year to win. So not really much you can say. Man of the match, there wasn't many who can walk off the pitch and say they had a good game. That's for sure. But I'm going to give it to Ben Goffrey who again filling in at left back. I thought he'd give everything. Made a mistake for the second goal. But I thought overall he was still, even with the mistake, he was still Everton's best player by some distance. Gray in flashes was dangerous. Decore. But really being honest, Decore is one of his poorest games. So it was really only Ben Goffrey for me to choose from. So he was my man of the match. Well, my thoughts for Crystal Palace three, Everton one Palace fully deserved the three-point seven and another defeat. And it's now beginning to get a little bit worrying because we're getting so comfortably beaten by side two around us. That's really worrying. Chelsea away on Thursday. Can't see anything else other than another feat. So really frustrating but what can you do? There you go. Let me know what you think in the comments section below. See you later.


Wow, gosh, well, they're here Sony GDM section look at that big boy cyberpunk CRT for sure Well, you know, it's impressive when you're moving box pile is almost twice as big as a 36 inch JVC D-Series CRT Bob, I need you to come get this thing. I need some room in my house.  Oh, there's definitely a couple CRTs done here in this area. Let's do fit 1943 bezel What do you think, Brutus? Is that a hard move? You're ready to relax a little bit Getting cozy in a new place. Yeah, good boy. How could you help me? I've lost my flute Well, that wasn't stressful at all Hey, welcome here and let me introduce you to the brand new retro tech Things are really happening around here. I've got my move well underway and and pretty much completed I've already gotten everything out of my Tennessee location And now I'm finally here in my Virginia location And I've gone through and worked really hard to get a lot of my areas done Especially some of my new beef footage areas and other live stream areas and talking areas that I've got set up In my new studio area But then I still have a lot of work to do back here in the shop area where I'm setting up to do all the CRT repair work And I know I promise I've not been thrown in jail or anything even though it looks like I'm stuck in a concrete cell or something. I am in a lovely basement And surrounded by nothing but warm and fuzzy CRTs. So just the way I like it But from down here, I'll be able to service and show you different repairs and things Much it'll be much easier for me. I won't have to move things around as much as I did before in the old shop We did have some accidents in our move the 1943 bezel did not survive It got cracked and a couple of pieces broke off I do have all the pieces so maybe we can Re-apoxy that together like I did in that other video where I just had to fix the corner of another 1943 MD and So that one got damaged. I haven't seen really anything else from the entire move that was damaged So all in all that's pretty good. That was a monitor. I got it scrap prices anyway because of the plastic again It's very hard to invest in those 1943 models When you can have the plastic just almost disintegrate in your hands at this point So I saw where bob from retro rgb is also moving and he's moved to the suburbs. So congratulations bob welcome out to the burbs and Definitely, please come get your 36 inch d-series monster. I cannot lift that thing around the house anymore It's got to go. Uh, it's not making it down to my basement. It's going to be sitting up in my garage Until bob gets to come get it. So I'll be looking for you bob in that massive Delivery truck you'll have to come pick it up in or you haul or something Anyway, that's just a quick rundown of the way things have been going. Hopefully over the next couple weeks I'll get things up and running in the shop. I'll have some other things going in different areas and hopefully this is all we're just going to improve the quality of not only the show but the repairs and Everything involved and I definitely appreciate everybody who's been, you know, supporting the channel up to this point I'm getting things especially ready to really get going and get some patreon Members repairs done who've been patiently waiting for me to get all this done.

So if you want to check out more information I do have a link in the description on patreon and repairs But you can also just like the video if you enjoy it and leave a comment below And I will see you all next time with some more retro content Hey brutus You sure look like you're getting cozy there. Yeah, this is your new favorite section of the retro tech studio And being the new retro chill corner Yeah I don't blame you We've got our buddy's rick Flare and the american dream dusty roads And of course Why not 1960s frigid era working refrigerator brutus? Did you like a cold one? Hmm. I think I would Good stuff here


There is an obsession in the wellness industry to think that you need to add very expensive, very obscure tonics to your life and to your diet if you want to have a healthy, long life. Now in this video I want to blow up this myth because I think people are spending a lot of money on things that are really not going to help them feel better or live longer. So let's talk about tonics for just a second here. Hey guys, Dr. Alex Hine, licensed acupuncturist and doctor of Chinese medicine. Now before we jump into today's video, there are two very important links right below this video. The first is if you'd like to become a patient of mine locally in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine, you can contact my private practice right below this video. And the second is a free download which is four daily rituals that could potentially help you add years to life with traditional Chinese medicine. Well let's talk about the downsides of using these tonics for longevity. I think that it is very commonly misunderstood what produces a long life, both in the Chinese medicine point of view and even just a clinical observational point of view. You know it's so interesting how obsessed Americans specifically are with diet, i.e. the things we consume and not lifestyle. And this is a fundamental difference I see versus the Americas and Europe, specifically North America or America and Europe, where in Europe people are very focused on the quality of life. You know the three-hour meals with wine, drink good wine, eat rich food, great pasta, thick smelly cheese, and people are very very closely connected to one another. And the culture, the family unit, the society is much more of this traditional unit. And in America it's a little bit different. But I think what's most telling is if we look at the populations that have the highest rate of living to 100, these centenarians, there's been a researcher who wrote a whole book on it called the Blue Zones. And the answer to this is very telling for a specific reason. In these blue zones, you do not see grandma, Stephanopoulos in Greece waking up and making a green juice with her kale and her Swiss chard and her ginger and her lemon power cleanse that you get in Beverly Hills. That is very telling because they are not doing specific things in the way that our modern culture is obsessed with it in order to live long. What do they do? Only half the factors are physical and material. Daily low level exercise, none of them are going to the gym. They're getting strong connection to a family unit, purpose and meaning and often religion. So the social ties are way stronger than most modern people here. And on top of that, the foods they're eating, they are whole foods, natural foods, a lot of grains, a lot of vegetables, and they are eating meat, most of them. And a lot of them drink coffee every day and drink wine every day. So it's very, I think we always have to start with what we know to be true, right? If you want to live a long life, you don't look at the theoreticians speculating on that. You look at the people and the civilizations, the cultures that are actively doing it. So then you can see these kind of correlations and we can suss out, well, what is it or what isn't it? And I can tell you what they're not doing is consuming tonics and these longevity tonics every day. They're not adding ginseng to their meals. Longevity and health in Chinese medicine are really about proper physiological function, right? I've talked about this very important concept in one of my prior videos about the Qi dynamic, which is really this this complex interaction of both your body's functioning and the external environment and where it meets that, whether the external environment is a weather pattern in a season, whether the external environment becomes a certain food you put into your mouth, whether the external environment is something emotional that's happening, it affects the internal environment, really the proper functioning of the Qi dynamic. And you know, in ancient times, people would just call this the proper flow of Qi, right? And that's where like this mystical Tai Chi master idea becomes associated with Chinese medicine often in the way that proper flow of Qi through organs and through the channels. But on a very lay basic level, proper functioning of organs is essential to living a good long life, but more importantly, a good quality of life. Let me give you an example now, because I think this will help. Two tonics I hear quite a lot from people are goji berries and ginseng. And I see people adding them to everything they consume on a daily basis or taking a couple grams of ginseng a day or a handful of goji berries in their oatmeal or their kanji. And I want to give an example of where biochemistry is not going to outperform your body's own knowledge if I can use that very fluffy kind of word. Let's say you've read this study that ginseng and goji berries regulate the HPA access and are great for anxiety and depression.    No problem. I'm going to take some ginseng and some goji berries because look at what they do.  And you notice after that morning oatmeal with goji, you're super clogged up.  But you've convinced yourself because I read this research paper that goji berry has these chemicals in it that are good for longevity, that I'm going to live long, even in the face of this abdominal discomfort. From Chinese medicine perspective, you're probably not going to really increase your longevity by decreasing the efficiency of your digestion. I mean, we view digestion as the origin of what creates chi and blood, what creates your resources. At least one of the ways those resources are created. And so this, this very biomedical approach of, yes, this regulates that, let's just throw that on top of there. I don't think it's aligned with really the evidence for what produces longevity. You know, our human species as an animal is given most of the things it needs, maybe besides medical care, most of the things it needs to live a long life, right? Evolution wants us at least to survive to reproduce. And then if you survive those childhood years, and disease and infectious disease especially, you have a pretty good chance of making it into your 60s, 70s and 80s, or later, depending on the country you live in. And so an understanding that longevity is a complex interaction of factors that are not just diet and exercise, but the things that regulate the human nervous system, as in being a part of a family and enjoying your life and having purpose and meaning and contributing in some way, all these sources of connection regulate the human nervous system and regulate biochemistry, they change your chemistry as well. And so this idea that we just have to throw some ginseng or some goji and I'm going to live forever. I don't think that's true. In fact, I don't think it'll do anything. I think more likely modern people will be better served by getting an extra hour of sleep, by working an hour less per day and doing something else that's more energizing and exciting. I think there are a lot of other things that will help people live a long life in the modern era, then throwing tonics into an already well nourished, you know, in terms of food, potentially nutritionally well nourished diet. So don't be fooled by this idea of I need to consume tonics every day and that's really going to help me. I don't think that's true necessarily. All right, guys, my two cents. I know I'm like blowing up the wellness industry. I'm like, I feel like I'm self-sabotaging here, but these are discussions that have to be had because I don't think they're true and I see people running to them thinking it's going to fix a problem and it doesn't. So a lot of it is about regulating rather than tonifying. Regulating what is dysfunctional in my body and my life rather than always starting to tonify. It's like the American McDonald's approach, more ginseng, more algae, right? That's American herbalism. All right, guys, again, before you go, right below this video, the link to contact me to reach out to my private practice in Los Angeles or virtually via telemedicine and there's also a free guide on four daily rituals that potentially help you add years to your life with Chinese medicine and I'll catch you next week.


Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like I've made a mistake with my bill So it's been a few days and people are slowly learning which builds are gonna end up being most dominant to start NBA 2k19 and things can always get packed So you never know if you create a dominant build and then it's no longer dominant because of a change So you got to create another build and that gets packed But all I know is I don't want to play with a subpar bill. So I'm creating a new one the bill I previously had I never really told you guys about in the video is this six four sharp shooting playmaker It's a play shooter. I grinded him to 88 overall so for and I got all of the like I got the gold picker on my show I max out a lot of the shooting badges was pretty simple, but I made some mistakes in the process I made him a point guard instead of a shooting guard Even though everyone told me to make him a shooting guard because if you make your play shooter a shooting guard You get silver catching shoot and silver a deep-range dead-eye and I have bronze on top of that I found that this bill does a horrible job of attacking the rim Even when I blow by people and I go up for layups if there's somebody there I get blocked and then I played with Mike Krasemba the other day who had a pure sharp shooter And he was hitting all of the contested layups. So things have definitely changed I've literally been practicing dribbling the last like week or so so I can get a little bit better at least Because here's my thinking I'm already fantastic at shooting and I'm in the process of trying to create some driven moves That video might come sometime tomorrow, but check this out. This is the recent the most recent move I've been trying to work on Okay, no, I did it one more time Yes Hallelujah So I can't do that in-game with the pressure of people spamming square, but I can't do it in my my court with no pressure whatsoever She anyway, I just figured like this place you rebuild is fine I could probably still rock with it But like at the end of the day, here's the problem I'm having shot creators Will and already are taking over the game. So let me just tell you some stories yesterday I was streaming on Facebook by the way follow my stream. I've been streaming there every single day on NBA 2k 19 I saw a post-scoring primary shot creators secondary hitting contested shots a big man I was watching annoying stream the dude is 6-3 He made a smaller build than mine and he attacks the rim and dunks more than my build Because shot creators tend to go up for more dunks than play shooters when you're going for a shotgun test because this year You can't automatic shotgun test you have to push the right stick to go out for the contest and It's easy to do if somebody has to stand still to shoot because there's a buffer from when they stand still and go For their shot, but if they're moving on their shot It becomes a lot more difficult to contest especially if you're a small player You have a low height and you have a small wingspan Then like what do you how you even contest you have to start clicking triangle and then you're gambling at that point Right because you never know if he's gonna fake you out then zigzag the other way and hit you with some cheese I feel like on defense my build is fine I don't think I'm too vulnerable occasionally the slasher or the peer point forward might hit me with a blow by it Happens, but as long as I have good defensive possession I thought that defense might be this builds weakest point But in reality a shot maker only has two or three less three-point shooting attributes Then this build has worse shooting badges admittedly But it has way better playmaking badges and I think as a whole whether you're playing twos or threes on the park and even on Pro-M I think the shot maker is the way to go so instead of recreating this build and putting him at shooting guard I don't even want that play shooter anymore, but then things got even better So you guys watched my video earlier today I talked about how NBA 2k lab hit me up and said if you get an 86 open shot three or higher You can get that pure perfect window in NBA 2k 19 if you have an 86 open shot three or higher You can hit the small six to eight millisecond window where 100% of the shots you take Greenlight now you might be thinking agent. How how could a human being ever possibly hit a six to eight millisecond window? Consistently we're not robots and we don't have modern controllers. That's a really good point that you make I brought up that point to when my guys at 2k lab told me that I described it in all the details and what it means in the video If you missed it, I'm gonna leave a card above and the link in the description So I was like this is my new plan I wanted a player that can not only hit 86 ball control to speed boost But 86 open shot three so I can hit that pure perfect green window You might be thinking agent what build can possibly do that well Here's the thing that's challenging to know because In 2k when you go in the game to create your build it gives you the max caps But you have to grind to 99 to reach all those max caps So there's some bills like a shot creator primary sharp shooter secondary You could put him at point guard make him six one and he could reach both of those The only problem is we don't know when he's gonna reach 86 ball control It could be at 95 overall 96 overall and for me it's too big of a risk to find out I don't want to grind to 99 last thing I want is to grind and spend all this time on a player That never ends up reaching his potential that I wanted him to reach the reason I built him So I've been doing some more analysis check this out shot creators in general If you could put shot creator in your build and your build will be dominant I've been looking through lists and lists and lists of badges and so you put shot creator on anything ladies and gentlemen It's like it's like Nutella. You could put it on anything and it's gonna be delicious All right, so check out the shot creator badges. I might be a 2k lab Listen lists right shot creators get the benefit of having playmaker badges and Sharp shooter badges on top of their shot creator badges You see all the silver shooting badges like Horn specialist limitless range catch and shoot if you scroll down You can even see dimer on silver on a pure shot crater But you get deep-ranged dead eye, which is an exclusively a sharp shooter badge You get slasher badges like posterizer is part of the reason why I think shot creators gonna be the wave this year Not only is it an easy build to master It's not a hard build to use so anybody can pick it up and do it But when you do pick it up it ends up being the best build in the game So check this out the badges are straight on the pure shot creator, right? I went on the attribute cap site So look on the left side of the screen the right side is a shot maker shot creator primary playmaker secondary The left side here build one is a pure shot creator now We're looking for two attributes one is the open shot 382 now Here's my thinking and I hit up in B2k lab and they said they would do some testing and get back to me If I can use the plus five boosts that are there, you know that little kiosk with the girl who's really trying to smash You know what I'm talking about if I use those plus five boosts to get to 86 or even 87 Then I can hit that pure perfect window And then if you scroll down and look at ball control it reaches the 87 and these are the max caps Right, so maybe at 92 or 93 overall of finally get enough ball control and three-point shooting to do what I want With this bill and keep in mind the build itself like what height did I make it? Six foot one this is a very short bill So I mean there's some negatives. It's gonna be easier to contest on defense I have no idea how it will hold up, especially if you're playing against like a pure point forward, right? How you how could you possibly keep up with that? You're gonna have to spam square the entire time, but luckily in this game There's not nearly as many blow by so defensively as long as you're good your sound and your on point You shouldn't have too many problems depending on 2k labs answer if you cannot use boosts to reach 86 Then it might change things but if you can This might be my new build and I'm waiting to find out until then for those who don't know because I haven't really talked about a much I still have my pure sharpshooter and he's 85 overall He's six for five and I might change the height to make a new build I'm not entirely sure on the details yet But I'm gonna start grinding my sharpshooter because I know I'm gonna want a sharpshooter build at the end of the day So I made a mistake in grinding that play shooter first But I rather start over now than two months from now be pissed off every time like I'm playing against a Shotmaker or a pure shock reader and they're dropping me off. Can you imagine if not only on open Standing threes you can hit that pure perfect window because you have a fantastic rating But on top of that you can speed boost with your build so you can stand still shoot move shoot You can dribble and speed boost. Oh my goodness It is the perfect offensive build and then you start to factor in the badges the ankle breaker on silver Right the dimer on silver the shooting badges on silver on top of the if we go back But we forgot to mention difficult shots on Hall of Fame tireless score on Hall of Fame mid-range dead I on Hall of Fame There's a good chance this could be the most popular build in the game one month from now And I just want to get ahead of things. I'm not glad to you, bro The only thing I'm gonna miss in having this build is that gold pick a roll my show man It is a thing of beauty and you only have it on silver I believe yet on the pure shock reader pick a roll my show.  I'm not saying this is the only way or the best way But if everything pans out and I make this build here ladies and gentlemen Whoo Anyway, that's my thinking I'm starting over I'll still keep that place shooter You never know when like a patch might hit and place shooters might be more valuable like for example if 2k drops a patch and They make shot contests more significant So if you put a hand up it drops the attribute more Do you see what I'm saying if shot contests mean more for whatever reason that's gonna be a huge blow to shot Creators, but then if that happens, I'll still have my place shooter to fall back on so that's literally a win-win for me Anyway, I'm gonna get to grinding if you guys enjoyed the video drop a like subscribe to the channel I wanted to keep you guys updated because you guys are like agent bro What builds are you making and I never really came out and definitively said but this is kind of where I'm at right now I also have another build I'm making on the wing and that's probably gonna be for pro-am and I'm gonna start grinding him tomorrow and I'm gonna wait on that announcement because my guy iPod King Carter put me on and it looks like it can be one of the Best builds in the game and nobody's talking about it catch you guys in the next one if you guys enjoyed actually click on one Of these two videos just do it subscribe to the channel if you guys are new I'm out. Peace
