everything seems to be working. Hello everyone, welcome to today's live stream. Today will be another English Q&A. You just ask me any questions. Start preparing your English questions and I will answer your English questions as soon as I can. I spend about probably about a minute or two minutes answering questions so it's best to get your questions in early. Before we get started let's take a look at our list of students who have come to watch me. The good students are here. The bad students are not here. Layla is here of course. Everything's well with me. Layla, how are you? Do we? Hello? Hola Serba. Hello and Hola Serba. Already has a question. Can can your teach me? Well I can teach you right now because let's look at your question. Hola. Hope you're still around. Can you teach me more English language brother and sister? Well you're not asking me, you're asking everyone so it's not your. Can you teach me more English language? We don't really need the language part and you're gonna ask everyone so we want to generalize it to all people, brothers and sisters. Can you teach me more English brothers and sisters? And the answer is yes we can. All right let's continue on. Sleepwalkers here so we can start officially. Palavi. Hello Palavi. I see your name everywhere. Good for you Palavi. Anyway good to see you Palavi. I know who you are. I see you everywhere. Michelle. I see Michelle is very active on YouTube. My other channel. Good for you Michelle. I see you're doing those quizzes. Anyone else here? Mr. Whale. Hello Mr. Whale. Farida. Hello. Otika's here. Dia. Yeah. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry if I mispronounce your name. Marine. Hello. Good to see you again. Oh Farida got the notification from my channel. Great. Good for you. And Dia. Yeah. Yeah. Please the mean the word. Okay well I'll help her out here with this. So this is from Dia. Yeah. Please the meaning of the word pitch with examples. Now Dia I want to help you but you I usually I usually tell my students I am not a dictionary. Okay. So what that means is I usually don't answer questions of what does this word mean because you can go to the dictionary and see that. Now what I do do Dia is you bring in example sentences of so you go to the dictionary and you try to learn the word you bring in example sentences and I will fix those I will help you understand and fix those example sentences but I don't I don't do dictionary with the live streams because you know in the past so many people what does this word mean what does this word mean and so I decided okay you have to help me help you you try to learn the word bring in some example sentences and I'll tell you if you're right or wrong and Dia I don't mean to disappoint you but that's the way we have to do it. Laila has you know let's just stick with this Laila so oh why do we have purple that's just black I've heard an American guy says I've heard an American guy say we would say say is it wrong although an American guy oh so the you're asking I've heard an American guy say um I don't know the rule but it should be say so if we substitute he an American guy is a he I've heard I think this is the problem here I've heard if I said an American guy says an American guy says blah blah blah but when we say I've heard an American guy say so uh I don't know the rule there must be a real rule but when you're I have heard say sorry that's a good question I right I just don't know uh I cannot answer you exact the exact rule but I know what you're talking about so what Laila is talking about maybe someone here knows the rule now when we say I've heard an American guy say something say let's just put a word there hello I've heard an American guy say hello so she's asking why do we say because we you know he says an American guy says we should the third person singular here we should you says but in this case I've heard an American guy say we don't be says maybe I just I know the I just can't think sorry Laila you're too advanced for me sleep walker is going to make my how do we change a default I have come across a grammar structure had better all right let's like a look you let's you'd better go there so I know that's a special form which tense are these kinds of sentences future tense uh yeah you I'm not a grammar teacher so I don't want to I don't usually teach a grammar I just I'll just teach the sentence form you had better go there that's your suggestion or advice and let me spell that correct so any sentence beginning with you'd better just think of that as someone's giving advice you'd better something something it is it is talking about that person's future activity because it could be talking about right now you'd better eat that right now so I don't want to label it with you know what what tense is that I don't know the name of the exact tense but just think of it don't worry about it that way just know what it's giving advice you'd better do this uh but it's a very useful grammar what's the name of that grammar it doesn't tell me the exact name of that grammar point it's just they say it's just the first suggestion the name doesn't matter just how you use it okay uh lay less is I'm gonna go back a bit to sleepwalkers just make sure you guys saw that I don't know if you saw it you'd better go there suggestion or advice you know that's lay this question in a bit so you'd better go there you'd you'd better study English suggestion or advice someone's giving that advice uh it's not we we shouldn't really think of that as a it's future or present tense because it's just you're giving the advice right now so it could be about now or the future ongoing forever all right I'm fresh off the boat when do native speakers use this expression well it's kind of a negatives expression so we wouldn't really say you wouldn't really say it to yourself because it's negative so I might say he's fresh off the boat that's going to mean he's new to the country let's get my let's fix my grammar so uh is this common yes should you know it yeah if it's you might hear it again so if I say you know maybe I met my job and we got a new worker and I might say to my friends or my co-workers he's fresh off the boat and that's negative that's not a good thing to say I am saying he's new to the country and when like an immigrant a new immigrant to the country like he came it doesn't matter if he came by boat or airplane we just say he's fresh off the boat you cannot change it he's fresh off the airplane if he comes by airplane or she or whoever comes to the country they're new we always just use the expression he's he's fresh off the boat which is he's very new to the country and it's usually negative it's not it's not a nice thing to say and because people who are new to the country you know sometimes they don't know how things work and they make mistakes and you know they're awkward and uncomfortable so he's fresh off the boat so let's give it the example dialogue did you meet the new worker yes he is very slow he's fresh off the boat means he's new to the country all right so I don't want anyone here to use it it's not a good thing to say but you might hear it in a movie or some readings all right I gotta move on justina hello tika okay nowadays I lost my motivation in learning English what do I do to keep myself to stay motivated to study English it has been two days I'm feeling lazy to do my assignments excuse me do your assignments uh you know you don't you don't have to study English every day of course I'm your teacher I want you to study English every day but you don't have to study English every day you can take a break for a few days and you know sometimes we get lazy and tired and we just want to do nothing even me sometimes just take a break but come back always come back we're always here we always want to help you improve your English don't give up do your assignments be diligent tika oh yeah has an example here's an example I was pitch dark okay it the weather was pitch dark and rainy so it the weather was pitch dark okay in this sentence pitch is an adjective to describe dark so pitch dark drag dark I don't want to capitalize pitch dark so this pitch we want to emphasize dark and what would this mean with it would be really really dark so in this case good word you should know it pitch dark really really dark pitch black really really black we usually use it only only for dark and black I would not say pitch white pitch red pitch blue no we use it for dark and black it's just one of those words we emphasize dark or black pitch black we want to say it so thank you dear for bringing that that's one way to use pitch pitch has many meanings I'm not going to teach all the meanings right now unless you have an example sentence oh so tika continues with her we got tika drama today it needs to be done that's your assignments very soon yet I procrastinate I procrastinate in doing it I procrastinate doing it I procrastinate I think what you say I procrastinate in doing it so good word procrastinate and delay you know you have to do something she has to do her assignments but she's delay delay delay I don't want to do it now I'll do it tomorrow I'll do it day after tomorrow delay delay very late so procrastinate tika I believe in you tika I think you have you're diligent and you you know you can procrastinate on something but don't be late okay you can delay it a little bit but don't be late layla is there any specific idiom or phrase to express in case time goes fast well yes we say time flies that would probably be the most common idiom to express time goes fast time flies time flies fly but because time is it time flies all right we got pilavi here one is pilavi say hi sir sir just call me robin let's fix up this english what's to do what's to do to speak like english native speakers well I'm going to change your question here because the grammar is a little awkward I'm going to change it to a how question how do I speak how do I speak like english native speakers or can we become english native speakers well or can we yeah we uh well these are two different questions let's split them up how do I speak like english native speakers well everyone asks me every day of my life that question and what is my answer today well pilavi the truth is unless you live in an english speaking country you're probably not going to talk like a native speaker but you nobody here needs to talk like a native speaker I I talk like a Canadian native speaker but I do not talk like an american native speaker or a British native speaker I don't need to talk like them I just need to uh and to be a native speaker usually we consider a native speaker someone who is born in an english speaking country but you don't need to be a native speaker but you know fluent is the key word so fluent or upper advanced these are these you know native speakers a native speaker if you're born in an english speaking country or you went to that english speaking country when you're very young you can probably be a native speaker but that's not important what you want is fluent is which is still 100 percent understanding of the language uh yeah you can be fluent pilavi but that's going to take a lot of work that's going to take daily study for hours hours every day do you need to be fluent I know you want to be fluent do you need to be fluent well I don't know what your career goals are but you know I think for business english if you're working at a company that does business in english upper advanced is enough or middle advanced that's enough for business english so unless you're planning to move to an english speaking country you don't really need fluent or native speaker level that's not going to help you so uh for work upper advanced is enough well there's never enough english you just keep studying but uh I don't know pilavi what are your goals uh hey elissa I was going to say long time no see but that would be a crude joke so unintentional joke so I'm not going to say it although I just said it and leila rubs it in your face she says hi elissa nice to see you again uh ferrita what does break down and break something down again bring me some example sentences for you ferrita I'll help you up elissa ask which one's correct I already met him or I've already met him are they even the same they're the same there's a slight technical difference but uh they're the same unless you're unless you're taking a test but don't I don't worry about it uh earlier today I tried to do the quiz of used to and is used to on show english online let's take a look the link is not working now let's go to youtube my other channel show english I just released this video uh about an hour ago used to used to there's the video let's go to the link click uh-huh it's not working all right I'll fix that I'll fix that link uh why is there an error sometimes there's errors sometimes there's errors sleepwalker or sleepwalker can we say I used to use it better let's put it up on the white board can we say I used to use it or I better just to say I used it I used it before uh oh interesting question you guys got some difficult questions today and I'm and I'm the teacher so I gotta answer these right I'm the professional can't disappear um I think the used to is more you know I got a good answer I used to is more for uh an activity I I used to use it yeah like how can I say this if we're talking about a hammer the simple tool a hammer nothing interesting about a hammer it's just one item you would probably say I used a hammer before you'd use this I used a hammer before you wouldn't say I used to use it because uh you still use it right you might use it in the future so when I say I used a hammer before that means in the past I have an experience using a hammer means I have that experience I have that knowledge I used a hammer before and I might use it again in the future I'm just trying to tell people I have that experience I used to use it we wouldn't use that for a hammer we would use that I used to use what would you use I used to use uh belt for my pants okay so this means yeah in the past I use the belt for my pants but I don't anymore okay so I used to something I did in the past but I don't anymore I use the hammer I have that experience and yeah I can do it again in the future hope that helps let's move on to the next actually trying to fix that Pallavi thank you uh probably my website this is from Dewey every student has motivation to learn English they want to go to abroad for study and exam not everybody but my motivation only well I want to help my kids study English every day yep everyone needs motivation helping the kids that's good motivation could you please simple fly what simplify why there is a me pronoun after used to in the following sentence oh I understand why yes she used uh that is not the question you need to cap copy the question okay oh that's question she's used to me helping her uh let's if I change it like that I'm used to him giving me money I'm used to her she's used to Robin helping her they're used to me helping them all right so she's used to me helping her I'm used to him giving me money she's used to Robin helping her they're used to me helping them uh that's how we can structure she's used to this is the activity me helping her him giving me money uh Robin helping her so we can use it in that way right I think I fix the used to quiz used to let's see if I like that let's see if the quiz is working yeah quiz should be working now I fixed that all right let's move on next question I teach physics naturally mr. whale is quite impressive if you teach physics physics I cannot teach teacher oh la what is teacher this is wrong or correct we're right or wrong which color do you like so which color I'll use American spelling you use British spelling that's okay which color do you like uh maybe I have I have two items I have nothing I have no items to compare I don't here no I have nothing here well you have two items and one you know maybe here I'll use my cell phone case now this is a black case and maybe there's a white case and you would ask the clerk might ask you which color do you like do you like the black or do you like the white and you would say uh just I like black which which color do you like I like black Alyssa do you rec oh Alyssa uh Alyssa do you recommend clubhouse for improving our speaking skills now long ago uh teacher sherry recommended me to join clubhouse and at that time I tried this was about a year ago I tried to join clubhouse but it was only for apple phones now I maybe they have for android phones I don't know but I didn't join it I didn't check it I don't know Alyssa it's up to you to experiment test it see if you like it I really don't know anything about it has anyone used the clubhouse app maybe someone else here can give a review of that app good or bad lay that says nowadays I have a big fish to fry but I feel time flies is it correct it is correct it is correct but uh don't string and a lot of students do that they learn a lot of idioms and then in in their in their sentences they put a lot of idioms and we say string string here don't string idioms together means one idiom connected to another idiom so in your sentence uh you say I have a big fish to fry which is an idiom but I feel time flies which is another idiom and native speakers might do that but I would say for you don't don't string idioms together which means one sentence one idiom try not to put two idioms or three idioms or more in in a sentence one sentence one idiom is enough so trying to make sentences of just idioms not so good don't string together it is correct though it just doesn't sound uh natural yeah how to measure my fluency is there something specific oh well let's fix your yes dear how to how to measure my fluency is there something specific that I can use to measure my fluency yes dear the best english test in the world and the best and only way to accurately measure your fluency is to talk to a native speaker there is no written test there is no online test to measure fluency you got to talk to a native speaker have a conversation with a native speaker how much do you understand how much do they understand that is the true test and the true measure of your fluency so if you can talk to a native speaker and you understand 100% and they understand you 100% then I would say you're fluent if there's some problems and you will know oh I have a problem listening to that native speaker or that native speaker doesn't understand my pronunciation you're going to know right away your problems there is no online test that can do that the best and only true measure is talk to native speakers leila I believe in my ability so I work hard on my english to reach upper advanced level I don't know how much time I need well maybe you're already upper advanced leila have you ever thought about that uh he is a low key person he is a restrained person do those sentences mean the same all right he let's fix it up he is a low key person he is a restrained person do they mean the same they could but they're a little different so low key kind of means yeah that that person is quiet not so active low key is calm quiet not so active he is restrained that person also could be calm quiet not so active so that person can be acting the same way but the reasons are different low key person means naturally that person is calm quiet not so active naturally he is restrained means maybe that per that person is actually very talkative and active but they are trying very hard to stay calm and quiet so yeah I could describe the person but their motivation to be calm and quiet might be a little different restrained so low key is more natural and restrained that person is working hard to stay quiet but on some levels yes they do kind of mean the same thing so if someone is restrained uh yeah let's see depends on the context but yeah they could mean the same depends on the context not always though case by case uh leila I'm puzzled about the meaning of rent and hire I'll rent him my house for one year yeah he hired two men to fix his car uh could you simplify them well I think you know rent is pay weekly or monthly to use something these are dictionary words hire pay someone for a job so going back to your sentences uh you can't say I'll hire him my house for one year that doesn't work because that's not related to the job and you can't say he rented two men because we don't rent people you this is a job so we have to hire for a job and I'm going to check the dictionary let's check good old Oxford let's just check hire and yeah you know the dictionary is clear on that leila you should be able to get that to give somebody a job you hire and rent I'm picking on leila an amount of money that you regularly regularly pay so you can use a house room you can use some item or thing I hope that clears it up all right it's Farida what does she say rent and hire whenever I watch your live stream I'm usually doing the chores while I'm all ears and concentrating on your lesson okay all ears there's an idiom all ears means I'm listening I mean all ears okay she is used to me helping her leila I'm glad you brought that question Leila me helping her uh who's Leila again well who could you please let me know what is the difference between remind Robin for learning this live remind Robin about remind Robin in I don't know remind someone remind remind for no I don't think we use remind for remind Robin about and remind Robin for well let's make so remind Robin about his class starting and I might say if I'm using time I might use in 10 minutes remind Robin now about his class starting soon remind Robin in 10 minutes so this in would be used for time and about is the topic Robin remind Robin for I don't know Robin for do you have a sentence you didn't give me full sentences so it's hard for me to know Farida I love pink Zacharia clubhouse is useful good to know should I download you know should I download clubhouse IELTS will not measure uh Zacharia IELTS is a measuring tool but IELTS you know IELTS academic is kind of test making sure that you are at a high listening and reading and speaking level so you can survive at a university or a job so it is a good tool it you know we need we need measuring tools and IELTS is a measuring tool but it's not the best tool there are many problems with IELTS of course a native speaker is always the best tool but I think if you study for IELTS it really pushes you to increase your level of English so all of you if you really want to reach that next level of English IELTS can push you to that level but of course I have talked to a lot of people who have studied IELTS got good scores on IELTS but actually they're not their English fluency is not really good just they you know you don't get into the trap of studying for the IELTS mastering the IELTS but actually your general English is not so good you know IELTS is a tool to help your general English don't just focus on IELTS okay Leila I read I read you I'm reading the comments but I'm not going to reply to every comments but I'll get the question here it's important to note that none of the lines and marks I made thus far are actually intended to be seen by a viewer does thus far in this case means so far yeah so she's asking about this thus far good expression it's important to note that none of the lines and marks I made thus far so yeah so far or even until now similar similar as these let's put that red red is bad so let's put it as green let's change that to black and why am I spending so much time fixing this sentence so does thus far in this case mean so far yeah so it's important to note that none of the lines and marks I made thus far it's important to note that none of the lines and marks I made so far it's important to note that none of the lines and marks I made until now all of those mean the same thing leap walker wow that's interesting to know such little nuances man sleep walker you got a good vocabulary about the adjectives said hello justina what's the meaning of play by ear uh that's the wrong so we got a lot of idiom talk tonight um idioms let's let's give a few more extra minutes on talking about idioms now I don't recommend anybody study idioms directly because I don't know why English students think oh I gotta I gotta know idioms to master English and idioms are like the last thing the last thing you want to study about English I know it's fun to study English but actually idioms don't really make you fluent they don't really uh help you pass tests they you don't need to say them it's just a and usually idioms are spoken by old people old people like to use a lot of idioms uh the older in English younger people will use more slang and the older people will use more idioms so I usually you know don't don't worry about idioms guys of course there are some very very common idioms you should know but stuff by play by ear no and the problem with idioms is they have to be perfect when they are spoken uh you cannot change a word so let's use this one play so play by ears so this student justina wrote it down wrong you already wrote it down wrong uh you didn't you you know if you're gonna ask if you're gonna learn the idiom and you're gonna ask about it you should try to type it out correctly so the idiom is play it by ear it usually means the uh musical instrument uh it can so when someone is playing the piano and they play it by ear uh that means they they I guess they they have to read the sheet music the music they got to read it but if they play it by ear they're not reading any sheet music they're just playing it uh because they memorized the the notes and how to play it so they play it by ear just by listening so play it just by listening not reading sheet music okay that's usually where we might use it but uh we can use it in other cases not related to music so play it by ear means not really prepare something like that or plan just we'll do it we'll do something as we as we as we go along we will do something so I would have to know where did you see this idiom to really help you uh but it's not not play it by ears play it by ear okay higher rent uh okay well higher higher rent uh when will that mean the same I can hire a taxi I can rent a car I can hire uh oh here's a good one I can hire a driver I can rent a driver here I'll use this one so some cases they might be the same it might be the same uh or very similar so I can hire it for my car I can hire a driver which means I give someone a job to drive my car or I can rent the driver I can give them a job more temporarily actually both of these in this case very similar very similar so some cases higher and rent might be very similar and you might have been confused about something about that but 99.9% of the time higher and rent just mean the dictionary terms who is it Layla oh la no problem nowadays I watch many videos on youtube only for fun after that I leave comments yes you always leave a comment the good thing those native speakers who who are are owners of the channels or are owners of the channel under our owners of the channels how many channels do you go to understand me and reply not replay reply to me all right that's a good point uh uh leave comments on youtube channels to practice your english I think it's a very positive way to you know when you visit a youtube channel you watch the video and you practice leaving your comment in english and if that person replies they understand you success I think it's a good way good practice Layla I think continue doing that uh for my channels I often get comments in other languages when I get comments in other languages I'm a little bit disappointed because I have an english channel and I you know you know some of the cons I usually translate the comments and some of them are good video and I'm like did they need to write that in their language you know I think they could write that in english so uh my advice to everyone here is if you leave a comment don't don't write it in your language write it in english all right ola's gone davie james hello to get any questions and Zachariah there we go good question here do you rent a house to someone or let it to them I think it's the same thing it says let's see if there's a difference difference for the most part it's the same I always use rent but yeah I've heard let it out so same thing if I sign up in a if I sign up in a course to learn something online can I say I've just attended the class or do you need a situation instead of attend no I attended or I went to the class I just went to class I just attended the class both of those are okay hushan ask him to stay if he came or comes if he comes ask him to stay uh let's say stay for dinner if he comes that's not a question ask him to stay for dinner if he comes mr well thank you all right I think uh we're gonna finish up in a minute or so uh thanks guys for your questions today I hope uh I hoped I helped you with your english I improved it a little bit I'll be back again next week hopefully I'm starting to cough some good questions today and did my best I'm not perfect but you know it's hard to answer questions immediately without preparation but hopefully we we uh we got the right answers um oh sleepwalker I joined the class yeah that's another one sleepwalker my assistant teacher sleepwalker uh I

What's up gamers, in this video I'm going to be showing you how to get this amazing, this really cool mystic set, like look how cool it is. And we're going to be going over a bunch of techniques for caves as well as talking about everything in regards to the secret shop that gives us this armor. Let's get into it. To begin or start this quest, you're going to have to make your way all the way up here to the woodland stable. So this is going to be pretty much to the northeast of lookout landing. So when you arrive at woodland stable, it should look like this. If you're on a new game, pretty much this is what it looks like. There is a shrine close by. It's located right over there on that hill. So if you want a fast point to the stable, please go ahead and get that shrine. Otherwise, we're going to notice something very interesting in this area. It's going to be this balloon over here. Now, something else that I want you to pay attention to is that there is going to be a little bloopy over here, and bloopies usually lead us to big secrets. And you want to do some damage usually on a bloopy because they drop things known as rupees and shooting them can make you very rich.  Now, when you see one, it's usually going to run and then disappear. But in this case, this bloopy is leading us all the way over here to these guys, to this balloon. And then what we're going to do is we're going to see the first person here and talk to them. And they're going to mention that I hope he's OK. And in this cave is going to emerge the brother of this guy out here. And his brother's inside searching for something very, very special in the cave. And this is Colton.  And your goal in this game is pretty much to collect these things known as boobo gems. This is exactly the hunt for it. Now, if you don't have a boobo gem on you, this is what essentially what you're going to have to do. That, like I mentioned before, that bloopy leads you to a cave and that cave was going to be over here. And what you essentially want to do is hop into whatever cave you want. Now, example, as you discover a cave and you open up your mini map, especially on a new game, it's going to show up just being blank, saying Pico Pon Cave. Now, as we continue to go into this cave, we're going to notice and look around for something known as a boobo frog. This is your spot.  He's going to drop down the boobo frog and the boobo frog is going to pop. Oh, oh, we're a little weak here. And that should do it. We're out of arrow. I didn't. Oh, my gosh. Don't worry. No. There we go. This spear work. OK. And when you knock out that frog, then the gem is going to drop. This is the boobo gem. After you get that, you're going to return out of here. Also, something else I just want to point out that you're going to notice is that there's a check mark now on your cave. This indicates not that you found treasure in the cave, but that you've taken out these frogs. And this is all actually connected to this quest line from these guys over here. Anyway, after you have a boobo gem, you're going to go ahead and talk to him. And you're going to ask him what his dream is and he wants all these gems and he basically wants to eat it. So just give him your boobo gem. And when he has it, he's going to freak out and is like, this is the real thing. And then he's going to hand you a reward for getting him boobo gems. Essentially, what's going to happen the entire game is boobo gems to this guy equals getting rewards. And the first one you get is the bokoblin mask. And bokoblin's mask, when you wear it, allows you to walk around bokoblins without them even noticing you.  So continue talking to Colton. And Colton's going to pretty much eat this thing. And then pretty much after this entire dialogue, they're both going to bounce out of here. And it's going to be where these brothers are heading off to Tarrytown. All right. So from Woodland Stable, you're going to want to make your way all the way to the east. And if you want to follow a road, it's pretty much going to be up this road, up this spot. And then pretty much you're going to be able to go to Tarrytown right over here. This is where Tarrytown is right on the map. Once you arrive at Tarrytown, you're going to be seeing someone very familiar that we just saw as you walk in directly from the town gate and walk to the right side. Right in front of us is going to be our buddy Colton. There's Colton welcoming you. Colton basically talks about his brother Colton, who is going to be located all the way across over there. And the important thing to note is you will never be able to see this balloon during the daytime. This balloon is going to be very specific to nighttime and you'll find it in other various locations. But the one where his brother Colton showed Colton is going to be the best spot. So pretty much you've already learned that you can get a bokoblin mask from here. And the best part is we're going to be getting a lot of goodies. So what you want to do is go ahead and teleport over to the Skyview Tower that is right by Colton. So once you arrive at the Skyview Tower, you're going to walk towards the left as you come out the tower. And then you're going to see the balloon. Go ahead and then head over to that balloon spot and get ready for the excitement of what you can possibly get next from the shop. As you approach him, he says that he'll trade his treasure for bubble gems. And he's going to really say that he needs a lot more. Then he incentivizes you to go and collect more bubble gems by showing you the mystic set right above you. And it's like, okay, I need to finish up these caves right now. Before we move on with the rewards, let me show you three techniques that'll make your cave hunting very, very easy in order to get these frogs and the gems you need for Colton. First, as we mentioned at the start of this quest, bloopies, those little blue bunnies, will be very important when leading you into caves. When you see one, go ahead and shoot it with some arrows to get some quick rupees. You're going to notice that bloopies run into a direction and disappear. At that point you want to look around the entire area to see where it disappeared and eventually that is going to lead you towards a cave. The second technique is going to be very important and you are not going to need bloopies to guide you with this one. When you're able to go inside a cave, have the camera available and take a picture of this frog the moment you see it. If you upgrade your Pura Pad and if you don't know how to do that, I do have a whole video on my channel for that. You'll be able to target the frog specifically and set your sensor so that you can activate it and your Pura Pad will notify you when you are very close to one. This is going to be very useful when you're inside of a cave, especially since a lot of these frogs are going to be hidden behind certain walls or sometimes they are going to be above you and your Pura Pad is going to say exactly where to go. Believe it or not, this also works when you're even outside of caves and will ping you when you are trying to get these frogs. And technique number three, this one is going to involve a tree, but not just any tree. It's going to involve a cherry blossom tree. Essentially, there are very few of these in the game and when you do spot them, you want to make sure that you walk up to it and take any fruit that you have in your inventory and if you do pay attention by the base of the tree, you're going to be seeing an offering spot there. Go ahead and pick the fruit up and drop it into that. As soon as you drop your fruit into it, you will have a cutscene showing a very familiar creature for those who have played Breath of the Wild and it'll show a bunch of beams of lights in the area. By the way, fun fact, you can keep dropping the fruit over and over again and the cutscene will just replay even though the lights are there. So just be aware of that. These beams of lights don't show completed caves, but they actually show all the caves within that area so you can go ahead and check those beams of light.  The first one is going to be located pretty much in Hyrule Field, all the way to the northeast part of Lookout Landing. This is what it's going to look like when it is activated and you're going to see all these caves lit up within the area. This is the starting place and it's the best spot to get the initial caves at the start of the game. This cherry blossom tree is located in the Elden area. So you're going to want to go over here. This is by Death Mountain and this is what all the beams of light look like. I was kind of shocked when I saw this many in the area. So here it is, looks nice. The next one that we're going to be going to is that's going to be located right by Zora's domain. So you have Zora's domain and then you have this spot. When you activate the lights from this cherry blossom tree, it's going to show all the caves that are on the mountain side in the water area and there are quite a bit that do show up here and sometimes they have multiple entrances. So keep that in mind when you're looking at some of the caves here. The next one is going to be located all the way on Ebon Mountain over here. This is what the cherry blossom tree looks like when you're looking at it and what it looks like when you have all the lights activated showing off the caves over there. This next cherry blossom tree is going to be located all the way in Farren area and when you're in the Farren area, this is what the cherry blossom tree will look like and you're going to notice quite a bit hidden amongst the trees on the floor and pretty much deep within the area and some of these caves here are actually really, really big. So be prepared for that when you enter the caves in this area. This next cherry blossom tree is going to be really easy. It's going to be right next to Gerudo Canyon Skyview Tower. As soon as you go out of this cave, you're going to notice it's going to be right below. So hop off this cliff, lie below and it's going to be right there. One of the most convenient ones and when you activate it, this is what it's going to look like and all the light beams will show up in this area. This is okay to the top of Satori Mountain. When you're here, this is what all the light beams will look like when you're standing on top of it. The final cave that we'll be talking about is right to the west of Rideau Village. This one is going to be in the colder areas so just be prepared for that. So activate this cherry blossom tree and you can see all the beams of light in this area. So use all these cherry blossom trees to your advantage to quickly hit a lot of caves. That way you can farm yourself up gems very fast so that way we can redeem it at the armor shop. Now that you've gotten yourself a lot of bubbles, boobles, gems, whatever you want to call them, we're going to go ahead and see what rewards we get. So go ahead and make your way back to the Ori Mountain Skyview Tower. That way we can go ahead and exchange our gems back with Colton. So you already spent one gem to get the Bokoblin Mask. Well, the next thing, a Moblin Mask will cost you two gems and a Moblin Mask is going to be protecting you from Moblins unless you initiate combat with them. Next up, a Hynek's toenail will cost you two gems after that. Then at three more gems, you'll be able to get a Mystic Robe. You notice whatever he's going to give you is going to be on the left side. After the Mystic Robe, that puts us at a total of eight gems to get the Mystic Robe. So going into eight caves and hunting down eight frogs is going to be able to get you the robe. After this, three gems will get you eight Fire Keese Eyeballs, which you can use on your arrows.  Three gems after that will get you five Ice Breath Lizalfos Tails. And after that, you're going to need four more gems, but you're going to be getting the Mystic Trousers, which is the second piece of armor for this. That means you're going to need a total of 21 gems to get the top and the bottom of this outfit. Four gems after that will get you the White Maid Lino Macehorn, which is going to be very useful for fusing onto weapons so you can do a lot of damage. Another four gems after that will get you the Horblin Mask, which is one of my favorite ones out of all the masks because the monsters literally will drop down from the top of the ceiling just to follow you around and hang out with you. Seriously, it's one of my favorite ones. The Gliok Wing is another four gems. Then comes the Lino Mask, which will be another four gems. This one is just going to let you hang out with Lino's until you attack them. Next up is the Gliok Thunderhorn, which is going to cost another four gems. Finally, at five gems after that, they're finally going to be able to get your Mystic Headpiece, which will complete the entire set for you. That means you need a total of 46 gems to reach this point. So if you don't want to waste your time getting one reward after the other, just go ahead and knock out 46 caves and get 46 gems, then come over here and go trade up to this. Now, you're not done, actually, because there's a total of 146 caves. In order to find out what you get, you're going to have to do it, but I'm going to save you the trouble and let you know that it's just going to be a paraglider. So you can go ahead and waste your time doing this for the paraglider to flex on everyone. I'm also going to be wasting my time to flex on everyone with the paraglider. So don't worry about that. Now, let me tell you about the benefit of this armor. When you get hit with it, you actually don't lose hearts, but you lose rupees instead. And this is going to happen until your bank broke. So depending on how you think of this, this could either be a really bad thing or a good thing, but this is definitely the most stylish armor in the game. Now you know how to get the Mystic Set, but you should check out this video over here. Seriously, click on it.


After two days off because of the cold weather, the BSU women's hockey team back at practice today, preparing for top-ranked Wisconsin Badgers. When the two teams met earlier this year, Wisconsin swept Bemidji State, outscoring the Beavers 8-0. Head Coach Jim Scanlon says the team has improved since then, but it'll still take a full team effort to topple Wisconsin. We know we don't rely on one player, one line. We're a team that needs everybody to be playing well, and again, that's going to be the challenge this weekend, is we need to have everybody bring in their A-game, and we know even at that there's no guarantees going against a great opponent, but also it's just a game of hockey. Wisconsin's had their number of late there on a 17-game on beaten streak against Bemidji State. Yeah, that's a tough team to beat. That's a tough team, but earlier in the year Ohio State came into Bemidji State, they were ranked fourth, and Beavers got the sweep, so they have that in their arsenal. Maybe this is the time. Maybe.

Good evening. With a lot of information, loads since morning and with burning questions on your mind, I request you to give a few more minutes. The idea is to stress on the relevance of research and data analysis, even in emergency settings. Again, I have to own up that this is not my original presentation. This is a presentation which was done in MSF UK office by Stefano and I am presenting on his behalf over here. But it's good to know that I was in MN three times in different parts of the country and as my predecessors explained, MN has been through a lot. The context is very complex. The activities is also dynamically changing all the time. So it's just to show how we try to figure out what was the need for the population and try to adapt to the services. And I would be taking pride in saying MSF almost like achieved to manage something in a very volatile context, which is still ongoing thanks to our colleagues there. So we are going to talk about the activities of an MSF supported hospital quite close to Thais, where interns fighting has been taking place for more than a year, a sort of siege like activity. For a year and now still we are running the facility. So this map shows where we are in MN at least focus. So the hospital which we are talking is somewhere between Yip and Thais. We do have facilities in Yip, a tertiary level referral hospital from the MOHESH. In Thais, there was OCA having a maternity iron child and trauma center as well. And then we the al-Qaeda was a secondary level MSF supported hospital. We prefer to call it as Kilo instead of al-Qaeda, which is for us a little bit not very okay. So at the beginning of 2016, we took over the hospital in the Yip governorate, the Kilo hospital. So this map shows you how the political or the military situation is there and how it is relevant to our context. Just to add a word, the green portions are the portions which are sort of with the coalition or the coalition supported government. And then the purple areas are the, I would say it is a faction of the who's fighting the coalition support. Then you have also the al-Qaeda actually areas which are dominant with them. So it's a sort of like they were having parallel governments which also impacted our activities to some extent because I remember in Ibo hospital that you have the government regional hospital and then you have a parallel hospital for the Houthis. They are one system of referrals, they are one system of taking care. So it was not very easy working in that. But it was very good for us in Kilo that every party agreed to respect MSF rules of not having weapons inside. We initially started the project with the idea that we thought because of the intense fighting happening over that in that area, we would receive and treat a lot of civilian wounded patients. But when we analyzed the data, we found that it was interesting to note that we were looking much more beyond than violence due to weapons alone. So the Kilo hospital, as you see, is a very nice hospital in a very beautiful place. We had an emergency room with almost around six beds, one OT, two ICU beds, but we did not have ventilator capacity. We had a 50 bedded IPD which included post-op, female, male and pediatric as well. And the meta anti section was being run over by MOH and supported to some extent by us. I was there when they were preparing to start the hospital and then one evening they were still installing and then they got the first patient who came in with appendicitis, interestingly, in an area where there is fighting all around. So our first patient to be operated on was an appendix patient. This is a standard data tool we use in most of our emergency projects. I will explain in a moment how it was relevant to use this tool and how much information we could get from that. The basic objective of this study was to assess the quality of data from the Kilo hospital and how the standard reporting could help us figure out the needs of the population and also to review the activities of the first 11 months, whether it was of relevance to MSF to be intervening there. The data basically comes from the ER register mainly. I will be talking only about it, but it's also linked with OT register, ICU register. The data is collected with maintaining confidentiality. So we just put the initials and then unique identifier number. But the IPD data, we just go in for the aggregate numbers. So in this, there is a column called the arrival time of the patient. And then you also have a delay to arrival, which indicates whether there was a problem in access for the population to access our health services. There is a column which is called referred by, which also indicates how the population, whether they came by themselves or whether we had other hospitals referring them and whether transportation was available. We have to take into account that moving from the idea was close to be around ties. Imagine there were so many checkpoints that the patients had to pass through to reach our service even. So it was not easy for the common people to cross the checkpoints if they belong to one faction or the other. The ambulance services even have to undergo the scrutinization, be with proper papers or something to access the services, which was also interesting in this context. And then the time of initiation of care would reflect upon our ER efficiency. The diagnosis gives an idea of what we are primarily looking at. And the procedures from, unfortunately, in this project because of the emergency context, we could have gone a little bit more in that, but we would see that in the succeeding slides. The volume of activities, this shows the resuscitation room and the ER room. We had 8,411 consultation during a 11 month period on 6,000 and odd patients, which is probably a little bit controversy. Probably the rest of them, the discrepancy is due to the follow-up consultations wrongly being entered as a first time year. The median age of the patient was around 20 years and predominantly male. The type of activities, surgical and non-surgical. So when we talk about emergency room, we are talking about like surgical and medical emergencies. Primary aim was stabilization and if it's stabilized surgical probably will be in our OT, except for complicated neuro or complicated or vascular injuries, which we had to refer. So coming to the surgical breakup, this is interesting because we expected trauma violence to be a bigger one than the trauma accidental. And we found that trauma accidental, which was mostly because of motor vehicle accidents, falling from height, children falling from height, injuries, fractures and all sorts of things. Acute abdomen to some extent and C-sections equally because we had the emoji facility. This is about triage by color. We were using the typical four level triage system of urgent immediate delayed or palliative. And interestingly we found that those people who access our services where 4000 was LO cases and the red cases were 900. The green normally is the green sometimes or red, but then it is interesting to note we had the large number of LO cases. And then coming to the outcome with the triage color, the number of patient discharged was 4000, admitted was 1000, 400, so 465, default died and then you have the referred. When I say referred patients, these are the patients who were referred to the next level of facility, next level of care with MSF referral letters. And you have a large population of discharged patients with the LO 100 cases. So, let us go to the individual breakup of this. So, in the green cases, 687 people were discharged and around 10 percent were admitted, which probably is over triaging. Coming to the LO cases, 386 people were discharged and 1200 and odd were admitted, referred or probably died, which is acceptable, you would agree because most of the discharge also means they went for further consultations, which MSF was not normally referring. It is to be understood that the orthopedic cases MSF believes in doing external fixation in emergency situations and not internal, where the population demand in Middle East was more about internal fixation and then they would go on their own to Yib hospital or to their private practitioners to get them. Or probably there were cases which were admitted in IPD stabilized after a couple of days of treatment where discharged from. The red cases seems to be fairly equally doing good for we compare with the outcome. So, it is accepted now from the American College of Surgeons that over triage rate of 50 percent and under triage of less than 5 percent is acceptable in emergency situations. Coming to the procedures, this is a breakup like we couldn't, is one of the limitation was not being able to train the staff who are entering the emergency room data to correctly capture the information into our books, even though we did a lot of procedures. The trends during the 11 months you can say that the community acceptance of our hospital was relevant, was very good because you see the case numbers going and interestingly the surgical and non-surgical at the end of month 12 is almost like equal. There was also an increase of women to access our service for cesarean section. Let me remind you in MN the repeats cesarean is almost like 15 percent and more. So, women were happy to come to our hospital in their beginning it was not easy for them to access our service. So, the conclusion is like standard reporting in emergency room, the data whatever we try to collect when waves of injuries or people are coming into the emergency room in a very complex security situation is reasonably adequate to help us identify what are the needs, what is our efficiency of care and to go in for more in-depth investigations of where we want to focus our activities. There is also an improvement needed in long term assessment of what happens to the patient outcome, how the patient was referred to our own setup or outside or where is the patient ending and what is the recovery rate or disability or whatever is happening. It is good to identify that we still continue to work because the numbers show that people are accessing our service and the need is still there and it is interesting to note that there is a shift from the original target patients of surgical and now non-surgical or almost one and equal. Of course, we still need to work on our over triage. The limitations of this study is we did not have this is a retrospective study with a approval because it was a retrospective study. We did not need the medical ethics board review, but it was okayed by our general operations control. We could not control the data when we were doing sorry when we were running the when we were collecting this. The procedures again under reported that no long term outcome data is possible with this study. So, if you have any questions for me, but before that I would like to thank all the past, present and future workers who still continue to work in killer hospital and with the caller coming in, it is still getting more busy. All right. I will take one question. Santosh has got his hands up. Yeah. On questions, just three questions, it is like two. One is that what was the situation of the, did you have any anesthetist assistance? And if there was an anesthetist assistance, why did you start internal fixation? Because like internal fixations are quite common in all ward settings now. So, it is like it is giving a final solutions to the patients and patients of the external fixation. It is like they need to go back and usually they do not come back at all. So, if you give an internal fixation, it is almost like final solution. And third question is like what about trainings? What was the quality of people you got from the community and did you have any training sessions for them? This question from an orthopedic person like why we did not go for internal fixation. I understand the MSF policy, if I am right, Dr. Vani, that in acute emergency context, MSF believes the care for the life saving, limb saving procedures and compared to the amount of people we could treat with the limb saving procedure with external fixator and the luxury of doing an internal fixation. Obviously, we need to match resources and the needs of the community. It will be ideal and especially in a country like Middle East where they are used to more sophisticated procedures. It was very difficult convincing the people like, hey look this is MSF policy we will only go in for. Second thing we did have anesthetic people, but we were there for acute limb saving and life saving surgeons and the capacity we did not have orthopedic wing as such. We were focused more on a life saving and limb saving procedures with our general surgeons at times if we are lucky with some orthopedic background for that, for one thing. It was not our criteria when we established the Kilo hospital to take on all the orthopedic cases because the bed occupancy rate would be quite high as well. We will not be able to have such a turnover of the patients. We could not afford for that. Training, believe me it was really difficult to get even the normal staff for the hospital because of the context of keeping people. We tried to do, of course there is a training all the time going on every week, every time, but then to get the people to come and work in that area was itself not very easy. Yeah. All right. Just one comment to you. A couple of times in your presentation you talked about identifying needs, analyzing hospital data. I think we have to be very careful to infer needs from analyzing hospital data. I think you only get a real sense of the needs if you do a community based sort of study because there are a lot of people who do not make it to the hospitals and we don't fully know what the needs in the community are. I can understand that you analyze patient data to provide better service in the hospital and kind of get a sense of patient profiles, but that does not equate automatically to needs in the community. I understand character doesn't give the full picture of what is exactly in the community. Yeah. But I understand that in an emergency situation may not always be easy, especially in an emergency situation to go into community based surveys. Thank you very much. Yeah. Very quick, please. We have to move. I'm sorry. I'm a pediatric cardiologist. Just one thing. In training, when you are dealing with emergency in such a dire situation, we often say is we often follow the criteria so do to see one, do one and teach one. That is the best way of training and it goes a long way. And secondly, when you are dealing with these kind of situations, ethically all the universal precautions were followed. You never mention anything about the universal precautions. I'm sorry. We take it for granted that in MSF, the quality of care would be at international standards and it's a part of the initial orientation training to any staff to adapt to universal precaution. There's no question with the infection control and universal precautions. Yeah. Thanks for reminding that. And yeah, regarding C1, we are more talking about the emergency room triaging. I would feel comfortable if we are over triaging and take a green patient in an admin rather than under triaging an ill patient who I had to lose later just because the staff were not, as such emergency triaging is not very well practiced in most of the places. It's even in India, a very new concept of like when you receive mass casualties or in a busy emergency room to make them understand that it is not that the most, most devastating looking injury is the most serious one to put them into their mind repeatedly to that, okay, you have to do a proper triage if you want to save more life within the limitations we are having. Yeah. All right. Thank you.


Hey there, Psych2Go family, and welcome back to another Psych2Go video. What do you look for in a good friend? Are the traits for a good friend universal? While the definition of friendship varies across cultures, let's talk about the traits that should not only be expected in others, but should also be cultivated within each individual. Here is a list of five signs of a good friend to reflect upon. 1. You engage in self-awareness. Do you often reflect and monitor your thoughts, emotions, and beliefs? Do you often wonder if you're being a good friend to others? Pondering these questions makes you aware of your strengths and weaknesses. You begin to understand how these traits can strengthen your friendships. At the same time, you recognize the areas you need to focus on more. Self-awareness provides you with insight into your own self. You can also identify how your behaviors and personal patterns affect your friendships and learn to balance them with the needs of your friends. 2. You practice forgiveness towards yourself and others. According to Dr. Suzanne Deckey's White, the construct of friendship rests on the idea of reciprocity, or a give-and-take dynamic. There is often an expectation, even if it's unspoken, that a friendship will be mutually beneficial and that support will flow from both sides. But what if you're in a friendship that feels one-sided? What if wrongdoing occurs that threatens the strength of your bond? That is where we need forgiveness. For example, maybe your friend is going through a traumatic life event that disables them from being a friend in the same capacity as before. Do you feel bitter and secretly blame your friend for being uncaring? Or do you try to see it from your friend's perspective and learn to forgive? Have you ever done something to a friend to damage their trust that you needed forgiveness for? Whether you receive that mercy from your friend or not, it's just as important to forgive yourself. When you lose a friend, the process of both forgiveness and self-forgiveness allows us to evolve into a better friend for the future. 3. You listen well. Have you heard others say they can always count on you for being there for them? Do you give your friends the time and space to release their thoughts and feelings? Do others always come to you when they're having a bad day? You listen well to their troubles. Being a good listener doesn't always mean silent nods or wise follow-ups. You remember what they said and ask thoughtful questions. According to Dr. Paul Sacco of the University of Maryland School of Social Work, good listening allows us to have balanced conversations with our friends. A balanced conversation is possible when we validate our friend's feelings and gauge when it's appropriate to share. 4. You display a commitment to friendship. Do you make your friendships a priority? Or do you only make time for others when it's convenient for you? These moments can reveal to us how important your friendships are to you and whether you're a good friend to others. When you are committed to a friendship, you invest your time and personal efforts. Considering the casual language used to describe friendship nowadays, commitment to a friend may not always be obvious. Therefore, it may be important to outline your expectations of commitment. Your friends need to know that there are priority, whether that's through verbal affirmation or quality time. A good friend will not make you guess whether you're important to them or not. 5. You're honest. Honesty is foundational across every experience within a friendship. Whether you're having a tough conversation, making plans, or having a venting session, honesty allows you to be yourself and secures your trust in each other. Your honesty also pushes you to address conflict when it arises rather than pretending it doesn't exist and remaining silent. Honesty can also lead to vulnerability, which can be a scary yet rewarding aspect of friendship. You can be transparent and allow others to see your true self. Each of these signs interacts with one another as a friendship is a unique balance between both interpersonal and intrapersonal awareness. While finding and making friends requires interpersonal skills, keeping them close relies on intrapersonal abilities. Did you find yourself nodding along to these signs? What makes someone a good friend in your opinion? Do let us know in the comments below. Also remember to like and share this video with others, and stay tuned to Psych2Go for more helpful videos. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you soon.


Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Today we have with us Vijay Prashant and we are going to discuss the recent protests in Iran and also the response of the global media. Vijay, good to have you with us. Nice to be with you. Iran protests. Now, irrespective of the dimensions, size of the protests and so on, international media seems to take a position as well as the US administration that this is a call for regime change in Iran. They don't seem to take it when Occupy Wall Street happens or whether protest takes place, for instance, in other countries, which are quote unquote western or favorable to the West. Do you think there is a complete disjunct between what the protests are and how the West wants to read it? Well, absolutely. I mean, look, there were protests in Iran and they're important protests. And the protests came perhaps for five, six, seven, eight reasons. I mean, protests don't happen for one reason. I've been to hundreds of protests in my life. The organizers have a certain call, but people come for all kinds of reasons, different things that are grievances. We'll come to the Iran protests later, but I just want to have you look at the Western response. That's right. So you have a protest, but the problem is that the media, particularly, let's say the Western media, corporate media wanted this protest to mean something very specific for their ideology. There is a protest. There are grievances, but they wanted to read those protests in a way that suited their understanding of Iran. So rather than even consider what the Iranians were saying, they immediately cherry picked or took one or two slogans from here and there and said, this is a call for the overthrow of the regime, and we should support them full scale. And then you had absurd statements made by the United States White House and other world leaders, where they began to say things like, well, this is a sign of the brutal barbaric regime, whatever. And so therefore the government should fall. Now, for the media, irresponsibly, to report this as if it's fact, without having people on the ground, without even making phone calls into Iran to talk to sources and so on, and without reporting the complexity of the revolt, why were people on the streets? It seems to me as a journalist, it's an elementary question. Why are people on the streets? Rather than asking why people on the streets, they showed images of the protests and allowed the White House to define them. Some of the images were even from Bahrain.  As we know, a lot of fake news circulates as news. So it was more mischievous than just that. Absolutely mischievous. I mean, it was a way to suggest to delegitimize Iran, particularly at a time of some turmoil in the spaces that are Western allies and Iran's adversaries. In other words, there's been a great deal of political turmoil in Saudi Arabia. And in Saudi Arabia's allies, that is to say, most spectacularly, the Prime Minister of Lebanon, Saad Hariri, who was in Riyadh, was made to resign on Saudi television and then created essentially a crisis in Lebanon. In order perhaps to punish Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran. So while this turmoil was taking place in Saudi Arabia, the arrests of prominent Saudi business people and princes and so on, it seemed that now there was a way to put some pressure on Iran. It's a ridiculous kind of political chess that's going on. It's interesting that you raise Saudi Arabia because at the same time we have also protest against Netanyahu, for corruption, for other things that are happening, as well as what's happening in Palestine, Jerusalem and so on, none of this shall be say, get reported the same way. No, exactly. Nobody was saying that these are calls for regime change in Israel or these are calls for the regime to be changed in Saudi Arabia. I mean, if any country, you know, should provoke the ire of the West, which claims to be the spokespersons of democracy, it should be Saudi Arabia.  Saudi Arabia is openly, patently authoritarian. Iran, all its problems is something of a democracy.  That is the clerics go through the list and say, these are the, well, come on. I mean, in Western democracies, they have just the same thing. They have people coming to run for Congress or for president. And then if you don't raise the requisite amount of money, you'll get scrubbed from the list. In Iran, it's the clerics that do the scrubbing. In the United States, it's the big capitalists that do the scrubbing. Somebody is scrubbing the list and choosing who should be able to run. You know, coming back to the question of protests, since you've raised that, you said that there are a lot of complexity in Iranian protests. How do you read it? It started as a protest by the conservative section within the Iranian clergy, who are in fact supporting Rouhani's opponents. Did it also morph into something else? How would you read the protest? Well, firstly, this was not a Tehran-based protest movement. This is important because the two previous major cycles of protest, the student protests in 1999, which began because a reformist newspaper was closed down. And then the protest in 2009, 10 years later, after the elections, when there was the reform section, the so-called green movement took to the street in Tehran, angry at what they considered was a stolen election. These were basically Tehran protests, middle-class reformers, liberals and others, angry about the political arrangement. This protest began in Mashhad, which is near the border with Afghanistan, in the far west of Iran. Now, why did the protest begin in Mashhad? This is an interesting story. Mashhad is the home of the largest endowment, like a Waqf, but a Shia Waqf, big house, a big foundation, which is controlled by one particular gentleman. Now, this is one of the richest institutions in Iran. It's in the far west. They own about 40% of the property in Mashhad, huge property dealers. This man, who runs this major foundation, ran for president against Rohani in the last election. And during a public debate, he openly said that the supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, had said no taxes need to be paid by this foundation. Now, this is one thing. There had been grumblings in Iran against the fact that these foundations were not paying tax. You know, why should they get so many benefits?  At the same time, as a conjunctural issue, the Iranian government, for reasons of trying to combat inflation, to hold down spending, I mean, they have been under economic attack for the last 10 plus years. I mean, Iran has faced a major economic war. So, this government of Rohani has had some neoliberal solutions, essentially, toward this attack internally. And they decided, I think, against the better judgment to cut the subsidies in petroleum and in bread. Now, on the one side, you have great resentment brewing against these foundations, they're not paying tax. Secondly, you're cutting what is basically basic needs of people. This was the conjunctural issue. So, what's interesting is for Mashhad, where the protests begin in the West, is spread to small towns first. You know, it's spread to the port city of Bandar Abbas. It's spread to even in Qom. You know, the heart of Iranian religiosity, the heart of Shiism, they were protest. It spread to small towns where the lower middle class and working class came to the street. This before it came to Tehran, this was a small town rebellion. And one interesting thing is the government arrested around 3,000 to 4,000 people, perhaps 3,700. Somewhere around there, they arrested these people. Most of the arrests were in these small towns. Tehran was quite quiet. After all, the current government in Tehran is a reform government. So those people who are angry, who are reformers, they have a government there. This government has loosened restrictions on women's freedom. In other words, you will not be prosecuted if you don't wear a headscarf in public. You know, they've freed up many reformers. They've improved conditions for reformers in prison. This was not a reform protest. This was a basic cry from workers, lower middle class and others saying, and this is by the way part of a global manifestation, lower middle class workers, others saying a standard of living has been destroyed. And also the fact that the US has inflicted a huge punishment to Iran, $150 billion of seized assets have not come back as Rouhani thought it would. So in some sense, the US really tries to stifle these governments and organizations. And then later say, look, people are revolting. Leaving that out, there is another interesting development this time in Iran vis-à-vis the Security Council, even France and the UK, otherwise always with the United States in the Security Council, didn't vote for the US resolution. Sweden didn't vote for the US resolution. Second time this has happened, one earlier was Jerusalem, they didn't go with the United States. Do you think that essentially the Trump, Nikki, Hailey kind of positions is getting the US isolated even from their allies? So there are two things that are going on. One is that they don't want to war against Iran. That's clear. And that's the obvious kind of, you know, service thing. I think that the United States has really hurt European domestic economy by its foreign policy. Look at it. There were three suppliers of energy into Europe, Russia, Libya and Iran. All three have been.  You basically cornered Russia into its war in Crimea and so on.  So having isolated the three main resource providers for Europe, why the Obama nuclear deal was so popular in Europe, it would bring Iranian energy back into Europe. Basically, this is an underexplored part of why the Europeans were so eager. It's not just that they are rational and they don't want war. They need energy. And the energy price issue right now, I think everybody realizes temporary. Energy prices might go up. They're temporarily suppressed. If you permanently removed your three main sources of energy and prices go up, Europe is going to be in very difficult situation. They are not keen to once again box Iran in. They want to bring Iran back because they need Iranian gas. They need Iranian oil. There is no sign that Libya is going to tomorrow or day after be providing it. Not at all. And Russia, I think it's very unlikely that this is going to open up. The Russians are building pipelines to China. This is not working out so well because the Chinese and Russians are disputing the price of the gasoline, particularly natural gas. But I think price questions can be settled, particularly once oil prices and gas prices rise, then the dispute over prices will be moot. In other words, Europe has to prepare for the day when prices start to rise. So the Russians aren't going to be eager to send natural gas back to Europe. So this Iranian issue is very important. Trump and others, they miscalculate. They assume that their allies will come with them or they try to bully them. Well, it's very clear they don't want the nuclear agreement that has been reached with the United States, Iran and the US. That should be scrapped. And they do see all of this suggestions for regime change, increased sanctions, which is what really happened in the Security Council. All of it is a means to sabotage the Iran agreement. And forcing Iran to pull out of the agreement so that the US can say we didn't do it. So in that sense, the US seems to be isolated not only on the issue of the Security Council vote, but also the desire to really sabotage the nuclear agreement. Recently, the Iranian leadership said publicly that they said the world should prepare for the end of this agreement. I think that was an interesting statement they made. I mean, they didn't give a narrative of who is going to scuttle the agreement. The world should prepare for the end of the agreement. I think they are also thinking this through. They understand that Trump's foreign policy is slightly irrational and irregular. It's hard to predict exactly what they're going to do. So they are also trying to up their own unpredictability. You see, why should they sit and be rational when they are dealing with an irrational actor? If I was to, as it were, do a game theory exercise with the two of them. You play Iran, I play the United States, I start to get irregular. You should also start to get a little unpredictable. And I think we're listening to voices coming from Iran now. It's important not to read those voices as unpredictable voices. Thank you very much Vijay for being with us. We'll continue to discuss this and other issues with you in the future.

and welcome to my Cezanne horn. French woman style for 2020. It's no secret that I'm a big fan of the Cezanne collections and French woman style for that matter too. So you've probably seen me wearing lots of their pieces both on my YouTube channel and on my Instagram page. Their clothing just really resonates with my personal style and this summer is no exception. It's always classy, elegant and very very chic. I always find far too much I love. So let me get stuck in and show you everything I bought. First up let's talk about the beautiful blazer I'm wearing which is actually called the Will jacket. Now you might have spotted previously that I've actually got the denim version of this in indigo. So because I love it so much and it seems to work so well with lots of the pieces I already have I decided to treat myself and buy one in blush as well. Now they are available in lots of different colors. You've obviously got the blush that I've gone for or the indigo that I already have. There's a khaki, a white, a blue stripe version, some really really nice different alternatives but I decided to go for the blush because one I think it's a really pretty color and I also thought it'd be really nice and fresh for spring summer as well and on top of that I think it will also work well for autumn winter too. Like lots of the denim at Cezanne it's made from 100 certified organic cotton. So not only does it feel really beautiful against your skin but it's also a bit kinder to the planet at the same time. Now the Will jacket retails at 100 pounds and judging from how much I've used my indigo version I think I will definitely get my cosper wear out of the blush as well. If like me you love that French woman style or maybe you just love beautiful elegant pieces it'd be really lovely if you could subscribe to my channel and make sure you press the bell button beside it which will just let you know each time I upload a new video and also you can find me over on Instagram app fashion and style edit. Now when I go over to Cezanne's website to treat myself to a little haul I can get easily sidetracked. This time even I was looking for blouses and I came across a beautiful dress, a gorgeous bikini, even a pair of cowboy boots I fell in love with but thankfully this next shirt got me back on track and the moment I spotted it it was definitely going straight in my basket. So this is called the Florence shirt. It's really really similar to the Anne shirt that I've got actually in a camel turnt. I don't know if you've seen that one on my channel but my thinking was I've had so much wear out of that beautiful shirt that I could really do with one or a similar one in a different colour. I decided to go for the navy because I thought it was the most classic and timeless and really really elegant for my wardrobe. So do check the composition because I think it's different for different prints but this one and I think four others are made from 100% silk and I can honestly say it's absolutely beautiful. Such lovely quality. The spots are obviously really untrend for this season but they're never going to go out of fashion so that's a nice touch. I really like the collar here. It's like a pajama style collar so it sits just above my bra strap. I've gone true to size with my usual UK 10 and I would say the fit is perfect. I am a little bit tighter on the sleeves than I would be normally but I think that's more to do with me putting on a little bit of lockdown weight. So I'd probably say ignore that because fit across the chest is definitely true to size for a UK 10. And then in this next look I wanted to show you how I would equally wear it. Super casual. Just roll back those sleeves shimmy them up above my elbow and pair it with a pair of jeans. So a really beautiful and very versatile new shirt for my wardrobe that I am very very excited about. I finally did it. I went and treated myself to a bag that I've wanted for a very very long time. So let me show you which one I went for. Beautiful packaging by the way. Lovely box with the Sassan print arm. As you can see I went for the beautiful tan furrow bag. I absolutely adore this handbag. I can't tell you how much I love this handbag. I think I saw it on their website a really long time ago. Perhaps when I first discovered their brand actually. This is one of their iconic bags so they bring it out time and time again. And then when I popped to the Sassan store in January I think it was.  And I absolutely loved it but I didn't dare treat myself at that point. And then of course the pandemic happened and then we started renovating our house. So I was making lots and lots of excuses why I couldn't spoil myself. And then when I was on their website the other day I just thought do you know what you only live once buy the handbag Jessica. And I'm so glad I did. So you've got three colour options with the furrow bucket bag. You can either go with black which is beautiful very elegant. The camo which is what I've gone for. And the other option is the chocolate. I think it's just personal preference.  It's still quite structured which I really like because it feels more polished and elegant and chic. I haven't even taken the stuffing out yet but as you could see it's really quite stiff around these edges. I'm not able to bend that too easily. And that's a good thing in my opinion because it's going to keep the shape that it has on day one. So let me take this stuffing out and have a look inside. Now I believe all the bags with Sassan are vegetable dyed as well which is obviously a much more sustainable way of dyeing the handbags. And with this particular bag you have the option to have it monogrammed. Now I did opt in for that and I've had the initials of all three of my boys but I can't remember where they said it would be. So let me just have a little look.  I think that is a really nice touch actually. It's actually surprisingly big inside. I can definitely get everything that I love to cart around with me. Everything by the kitchen sink and probably will. So yes a beautiful handbag that I am very excited to have in my collection. I did feel a bit guilty spoiling myself but I'm very glad I did. Do let me know what you think of the handbag actually because I was very torn between the Farrow and also the Victor. They're both really beautiful handbags but it'd be interesting to hear which was everyone's favourites. Now talking about handbags I just really quickly wanted to show you something that arrived in the post today because it's for a brilliant brilliant cause. Now Radley London got in touch with me recently to say they're bringing out a cotton tote bag and a hundred percent of the profits are going to solace women's aid. So they offered if I would like one and I said absolutely love it and I would love to share it with all of my subscribers so I'm just going to quickly show you that now. So it arrives in a beautiful box that says smile across the front. Beautifully wrapped as Radley London love to do. Oh that is super cool I like that. Sorry let me get rid of my noisy box. I will definitely be using that as my shopper. So one super cool tote that is a gorgeous addition to my collection and with a hundred percent of the profits going to solace women's aid it's definitely a worthwhile cause. So next up I went for the Cezanne classic tomboy shirt. I've been trying to buy this shirt for a very long time. Things sell out so quickly on their website. Now like a lot of their collection this shirt is made from certified organic cotton. It feels beautiful. Quite heavy weight actually. It's not super super light so I think that's definitely going to work for spring summer but also autumn winter as well. So I ordered this in a UK 10. I'm going to send it back and get it in a UK 12 and then I just think it'll have a little bit more slouch to it which is how I like to wear them. Saying all of that it is a true to size fit.  It's got really nice fine blue stripes running through it and then obviously the accrue in between. They've got a slight pin tuck detail over the shoulder so it's just making it stand up just ever so slightly which I think is a really nice touch. I would probably style this in lots of different ways obviously for dressing it down with a pair of jeans maybe sandals loafers or trainers but I also really like the mixture of wearing a shirt like this that's made from a hundred percent cotton with a really tailored pair of trousers maybe some beautiful heels and a clutch bag and I think it's that mixture of fabrics and styles that would work really nicely together but knowing me on a day-to-day basis I would probably just roll the sleeves up and wear it with a nice pair of jeans and a pair of trainers. Very casual but still really chic and feeling elevated at the same time. Now I took a bit of a gamble with this next item because they didn't actually have my size but looking for me they actually come up big and I love the fit. A bit like the tomboy shirt I've wanted to try the girlfriend jeans for so long now but they've always been sold out in my size so I'm really glad that I actually decided to have a go in a size smaller. So I would say I always across the board all different brands take a size 28 in jeans so I was a little bit worried about the size but as you can see they're a really really nice fit and actually if I'd have gone for my usual size I think they would have definitely looked a little bit big probably more like a boyfriend jean instead of going a size down and them looking very much like a girlfriend jean which I really really like. So these have been made from GOTS certified organic cotton so much kinder for the planet as well as for my wardrobe so you've got buttons down front here and the waist actually is described as the perfect waist it's not too high not too low and I would definitely agree with them I absolutely love that waistband in fact I would say that is the perfect waistband for me in a pair of jeans. I can easily get my thumbs in around the waistband it's not digging in anywhere they feel super super comfortable. I think that drop in the crotch is perfect as well because you're a little bit of room and really helps create that perfect girlfriend jean shape. Now the feel of the denim is really nice as well it's very soft obviously because it's organic cotton but I also like the fact that they've not done it too lightweight where you then feel like you're showing every lump and bump. It's not super heavy but it's not ridiculously light either just somewhere in the middle enough to make you feel like you've got a really nice high quality pair of jeans that are going to keep their shape and also skim in all the right places at the same time. Now as you can see in this footage I've paired it with a shirt I actually got from Suzanne as well sadly that's sold out but I will link some of my other favorites in the description box below and just a pair of tan sandals that I got from H&M with of course my beautiful new bucket bag because I think that tan color really ties in nicely with the sandals. It's a very laid back yet elevated everyday summer outfit that I think I will probably wear an awful lot. Now Suzanne don't often do sales but they do sometimes launch what they call an archive collection something that they might have a bit more stock of and then they offer a discount so that is where my next piece has come from and I think I've got a beautiful piece here for just £40. So this was actually in the knitwear section so I would advise you to have a look at that range as well because although that is knitted linen I would say that is a beautiful top for summer. Now obviously you've got this off the shoulder ruche detail around the chest portion here you could wear that up if you wanted to but I think it's really nice off the shoulder. I do really like that as a trend anyway and I think this is a really flattering part of most women to see this collarbone section here. Now the string tie that tightens it has just got a few little tassels on the end and a few little beads in wood yellow and blush there which I think is a nice touch. The sleeves are coming out three quarter length and I would probably always shimmy those up a little bit. I find that three quarter length a little bit frustrating I can't wear things just kind of hanging there unless it's a shirt. And length wise you definitely got enough room there to be able to tuck it into a pair of jeans or maybe smart trousers and nice skirt whatever it is you want to pair it with. I think that would look beautiful actually with a big maxi skirt for spring summer. I think that's a really nice look but of course I wear jeans an awful lot so I wanted to show you how it looks with my slim half a jeans that I got a while ago from Suzanne and on my feet I've just got my loafers so a very chilled out outfit but it does feel quite a B3 quite summery and definitely the sort of thing that I love to wear. Now like I mentioned things sell out really really quickly on their website but I will link in the description box below some of my key favorites from the archive selection as well as the other new and noteworthy from the main collection so do have a peek at those and let me know what you think. I am so happy with everything I purchased from Suzanne for this summer. I love the fabrics the fit I think the quality just stands out a mile they tick all the boxes for me. Don't forget to let me know in the comment section below your favorite piece that I bought it's really nice chitchatting with you. Thank you so much for watching and as always all your lovely support and hopefully you'll join me back here on Wednesday for lots more outfit ideas. Take care.
