Oh my goodness, I will make thousands. Hey, Bolo Buddies, thanks for watching. Amazing, right? All right, let's get started. All right, Bolo Buddies, are you ready for this? This shopping spree, I don't even know what to call it. This has been my best Ben's pickup ever. I cannot even believe what I found. Wait until you guys see this. This first item I grabbed right here is just a rubber wood mounted stamp. Some of those can go for big money. Most of them are bread and butter, but if I'm at the Goodwill Ben's and there's a cute one, I will definitely pick it up. All right, so there's gonna be a lot of digging and a lot of things that I will put in my cart and then later on I will throw back. So if I do not pop up a screen share, it means I threw it back or I have not listed it yet. I am a little behind on listing because I started selling on what not. And if you're not following me over there, there is a link down below in the description. And if you join with that link, you can get $15 to shop. I'm thinking about, and I wanna hear your feedback because a lot of you guys like these types of videos. What would you think about me doing a Goodwill Ben's video and then bringing everything I bought to what not for a show? Should I do it? Something I've been thinking about, but I don't know. I have such a huge money pile. I'm getting ready to start my vintage crafters haul. Oh my goodness, that'll probably take me five to 10 shows, but I can definitely mix it up and don't have to do all of those in a row. Look at this beautiful necklace. I haven't decided if I'm gonna list this on eBay or if I'm gonna bring it to what not. I definitely bought that. It was absolutely stunning. And I believe it said Japan. So not very often do I find beautiful jewelry pieces in the Goodwill Ben's. I know it can happen, but that piece definitely could have been broken, but it looked fantastic. All right, we are gonna keep a dig in here and let me know in the comments, do you have a Goodwill Ben's near you? Do you shop it? Do you love it?  I am gonna make thousands of dollars. I've already sold some of the items and just wait. You just gotta see it. I don't wanna spoil it. It's just incredible. All right, so there's a lot of digging in this video and I'm leaving the footage in. Those were, I think, counters or little manipulatives, but I don't think I ended up buying them. I think I threw them back. Those were game pieces. I do pick up game pieces from time to time, but I did throw those back also. It really just depends on the game. If you can find a vintage game or something that you are familiar with, that you've sold before, that you can do multi-quantity on, that really helps. So those were sun catchers, I think. I went ahead and left those behind as well. So tell me, do you guys look in sunglass cases? I always look in sunglass cases. Love, love, love finding glasses. I actually found a nice little bolo at the last time I went. So you guys will see what I found in a future video. So stay tuned if you're not subscribed. Definitely subscribe to the channel and I try to put out a Goodwill Bins video once a week, but sometimes it's once every two weeks. It just depends how quickly I can list because I do like to pop up screenshots of how I list everything. And again, I have just been crazy busy, but I've got lots of bolo content on the channel. What do you guys think about this little purse? I think it was damaged and that's why I left it behind, but otherwise it was really, really cute. All right, let's see, what else do we find here? What is your favorite thing to find or better yet? What is the best thing you have ever found at The Bins? What's your best score? All right, we're gonna keep digging. I can't wait for you guys to see what I find. Oh my goodness. Wow, best day ever at The Bins. I didn't even know what I had at first and we'll talk about that more. I wanna talk about it right now, but I can't. I just can't, I gotta make you guys wait. Would you have picked up the emoji plush? The poop, the rainbow poop emoji. All right, this was kind of cute. Anybody sell cloth plush books? There was lots of stuff. Let me know in the comments if you see something that I passed. This is one thing I like to do on my channel. If you see something that you would have picked up, you can timestamp it and what that means is put in the time that you saw it down in the comments and that way people can go back and they can learn. So you can say, oh my goodness, you missed this item at nine minutes and 22 seconds and then we can all go look and learn about the different bolos. It helps me learn and it helps everybody watching learn. So definitely, definitely do that. I'm not offended by that in any way. We all source differently. That was a Paw Patrol pup. I always pick those up. I will put them in small lots and Paw Patrol, PJ Masks, there's lots of different things. Always open the bags. I can't remember what was in that one. I did put it in my cart, but I either haven't listed it or I put it back. I'm not sure. So I have bags and bags and bags of stuff I'm so behind on listing, but I noticed that I had quite a few items already listed from this video. So I'm thinking that at least one bag of stuff is listed. That was a Yeti, but after I looked at it, there was some chipping on the paint. So I went ahead and put that back, but yeah, I love Yeti cups. I use them myself, so definitely a pickup if I find a Yeti. There was actually a Yeti I found a while back and it was one of the smaller coffee mugs and I was gonna list it and I showed it to my husband and he's like, I would like to keep that.  Super cute, but really big and bulky. Now these right here are called mini brands and I sold some mini brands Q-tips, I think for like $20. It was one little Q-tip.  And they're blind bags and some of them can go for big money. That one was a Ninja Turtle, I think. I haven't got it listed yet. I think I found another little baggy full also, which is somewhere and I will list those as soon as I find them. Not sure which ones I have in there. They do vary. I have other ones listed currently in my eBay store that are in small lots. I basically picked out the ones that went for the higher dollar. Like there's some mayonnaise that does really well. Here's the other ones I picked up and I have not researched those yet. So they will eventually be in my store but they are not in my store yet. I forget what those things are called. They're like little bracelets. But toys, I pick up tons and tons of toys and I just put them in small lots. Sometimes I make toy boxes. A lot of times I sell them individually but I am definitely one of those people that dig to the bottom of the bins and pull out all of the great toys that everyone misses. Crayons, pencils, I pick those up and I donate those. I know I put this in my cart but I can't remember if I threw it back or not.  I cannot recall. I did get this. This was interesting. The Thrifty Pickle Thrifter talked about something that she was selling for big money. It was in a video I watched or a video that she sent me and I can't remember if it was that style of DVD or was it a CD. I don't know what it was but I ended up buying it and it comped out okay but I'm not sure if that's what she was selling. So definitely check out her channel. She has incredible content. She mainly sells jewelry. I mean, she is a mega below finder but she specializes in jewelry but she is very talented in reselling in general and her what sold videos are incredible. Let me know if you guys would have picked up all these stamps. I feel like they're kind of heavy. So unless they're something special or I wasn't sure. I almost grabbed this but I think it was mega blocks. If it would have been Lego I definitely would have grabbed it. I did put it in my cart but I ended up throwing it back. Any Legos whether they're just little pieces in the bottom of the bins I am always grabbing the Legos. Those foam pieces right there those are good for shipping. If you can get them for a good price maybe they'll work with you. If you can get like a whole bunch of them you can use them as padding. All right, we're just digging away. So right now it's been about, this will be week three that I have not gone to the Goodwill Bins. And again, that's because I'm focusing on selling stuff right now. I need to list and sell. And I gotta tell you like I'm watching this video and I'm like, I just need to go. I need to go. And I'm like, what do I have to do tomorrow? But anyway, that was a PJ mask always pick up those. I've been working on my taxes this week and I am one of those where I just put everything in a drawer and I save it until the end of the year and then I have to do it all at once. I literally have spent two entire days working on sorting and logging all of my tax stuff. Anybody else working on taxes? Let me know in the comments and how long does it take you? All right, is anybody seeing anything that they would have picked up that I missed? Here's some pencils. If they would have been in the case, I definitely would have grabbed those. I probably should have grabbed them anyway and just donated them. I mean, those are something that definitely can be used and are needed. So let me know if there's something that you pick up from the Goodwill Bins that you donate. I know that a rural squirrel on her YouTube channel, she does Goodwill Bins videos and that is about all she does over there and she is incredible. That's her main focus of the channel and she does a lot of collaboration videos with other YouTubers and they have challenges and it's just a super entertaining, fun way to learn. So definitely check her out. But I know she buys the diapers and she donates them. So if there's something that you buy from the Goodwill Bins that you donate, let me know down in the comments. All right, we're gonna keep on digging. How many people are yelling at the camera like you missed it or the TV or your phone or whatever you're watching? Ooh, always look in everything. You just never know. And I'm gonna show you a great example of always look in everything because I'm guessing probably, I don't know. I don't know how many people were in the bin before me but I wasn't the first one in the bin. They all looked over this item that I am gonna sell for thousands of dollars because they didn't look inside. And it happens all the time.  No, I'm kidding. I know there's people watching that go to the same bins as me, so that's a total joke. You guys are awesome. All right, it's so fun when I see my viewers there. If anybody ever sees me there, feel free to say hello because I don't know you but you know me and you can just say, hey, Bolo Buddies, or you can say, hey, Courtney, either one is completely fine but I have met a lot of great people that know me from the channel and we actually hang out and shop together at the bins. It's super fun. I love it. All right, I put that in my cart but I think I put it back and I'm thinking I probably should have got it. What would you guys have done? Should I pick that up or was it a good pass? Little teddy bear, I love selling plush if you're new here. Toys, plush, vintage Christmas, I love all of those things but one big problem that I have with the Goodwill Bins is I come in and I want to save everything and I always leave with a cart that is so full and I never get to everything. It's just too much. So that's why I'm kind of thinking that I may do toys in the future on whatnot. If you follow me on whatnot and you would like to see toys, let me know down in the comments. Your feedback would be greatly appreciated and if you guys are looking for another place to sell, another platform, I do have a referral link down below. It's a seller's link to sell on whatnot and if you click on that, it will tell them that I referred you and you may get accepted quicker. So that link is down below also. And you guys can let me know if you have any questions about it. You may be watching this for the first time and have never heard of whatnot. My channel focuses on Bolo's items to be on the lookout for items you can hopefully buy low and sell for a profit and I do a ton of what sold videos. So I show you what I sell on eBay, Poshmark and Mercari and I also show you what other people, members of my channel and members of my Facebook group, things that they sell and it is an incredible way to learn. So definitely check out some of my other videos. A lot of people just like the Goodwill Benz videos and that's fine, but what solds are very educational. Okay, right here. If these would have been in good condition, these are a major Bolo. They are called Twin Bead and here are some that are new in the package. Look at the prices that these go for. They're goodie brand and if you ever see them, definitely pick them up. Mine are not in great condition. The elastic is kind of not good, but I figure maybe somebody can craft with them and it's a huge lot. So I went ahead and bought those and I do have them listed in my eBay store. I'm gonna see if somebody wants to pick that up. I do pick up this mug here in a minute and I'm wondering if I should have grabbed it. I have sold wood mugs before, but I did not grab it. I don't remember what's in that. I think I put it back, okay. All right, are you guys seeing anything that I'm missing? Let me know. Oh, another great channel to check out is Dumpster Diva. She does Goodwill Benz videos and she is awesome. So check her out and I will link these channels down in the description of the video. And later on in the video, you are gonna see Dad Planet and this is actually him right now that I'm talking to and I'm telling him about the twin beads. I'm like, okay, you need to look for this and he's never heard of them and I'm just educating him a little bit. So he just happened to be there that day. We didn't do a collaboration video. Sometimes we do that when we run into each other there but we did not do one today during this show. So definitely follow Dad Planet and I need to get in touch with him and schedule another collaboration video because that's kind of like a little contest where we both share a video on the same day and then you guys go and watch both and you kind of decide who had the better haul. Now, one thing is Dad Planet more sources clothing and I'm more hard goods. We source very, very differently so you will definitely learn different things from each of our channels. So be sure to subscribe to him as well. So I'm giving you lots of new people to subscribe to and these are more people that do Goodwill Bins videos. There's lots and lots of channels that I follow that do what solds and that teach you how to sell on platforms and you will see those in my other videos. I can't go into everyone right now but Noelle Farm Girl Scavenger she just put out a Goodwill Bins video. She hasn't done one in a while. You can check her out also. She has an awesome educational channel but she'll throw in some Goodwill Bins here and there. I'm like, you gotta do more Goodwill Bins videos. They're super fun. Everybody loves them. What is your favorite video that I do? If you only watch my Goodwill Bins videos let me know that down in the comments. I am kind of curious. I do think I have a following for this type of video and I would love your feedback. I did pick this up. I did comp it out and I did put it back. It did not comp out high enough for me. I can't remember what it comped out at but based on the weight I just decided to leave it behind. I'm showing you guys all of the digging. A lot of times I cut a lot of this out but a lot of you have told me that you like longer videos and you like to watch me dig so you can tell me what I missed. So this video I am gonna leave some of the extra in. This is a Mickey Mouse but he's got a bad eye there, poor little guy. Wonder what happened to him. Dinosaurs, I think that, was that a Treasure X? Maybe I should have picked that up. There's been a few Treasure X that I have picked up that have sold really quickly. Kind of a random toy that kind of surprises me that it was selling so quickly. Not for big money, definitely a bread and butter. Domino Rally, look at that. Would you have picked it up or left it behind? It kind of looks like it was never used. All right, we are at the end of this tote, tote. At the end of this bin here, I just love digging. It's so therapeutic. Let me know if you think going to the Goodwill Bins is therapeutic.  Like, I just love the Goodwill Bins. I miss it when I don't go. I could go every day, literally. I feel like I could go every day and I would be like completely content. I don't think I would ever get bored. Where is your favorite place to source? I'm doing a lot of extra talking today because I haven't really picked up a whole lot to sell. I do pick up new old stock items. That one I ended up leaving behind because it kind of looked just like maybe a dollar store item. But if it's new old stock, got the original packaging. Even if it's a bread and butter, I'll definitely pick it up because those items do sell. I picked up a Dremel and it was new old stock and I also picked up like some drill bits that were new old stock and both the items sold. So I was like, all right, $7 to $9, nothing big but definitely sold pretty quickly and I didn't have to pay much for it. My bins are $1.89 a pound and then 59 cents a pound for media and books. I have no idea what that is. Look, look at that rug. So tell me down in the comments, what do you guys source? When you go to the bins, what are you looking for? Are you in the clothing? Because you're not gonna like my video because I try to stay away from the clothing. I am not a big fan of clothing but now that I'm doing more whatnot, I may head over to the clothing. Right here, I don't know why I didn't pick this up. Look how cool this is. I probably could have got 50 or 60 bucks out of that. I just sold one recently and I don't know why I left it behind. Would you have picked up the little suitcase? Maybe there was something wrong with it. I'm just really surprised that I left that behind. I'm not a big fan of shipping big things so that wasn't super big but I left it behind. It might have been a mess up. That might be what you guys put down in the comments that I missed. All right, let's keep looking here. Are you guys anticipating what I bought that I'm gonna sell for thousands? Oh my goodness, I'm so excited. I am so excited. That is from one of those Disney movies and probably could have sold it. Probably would have done well on Poshmark but it was a bigger item and I didn't really feel like trying to find a box for it. So I start my items on eBay and then I cross post to Mercari and Poshmark. I use a cross listing service. It's called List Perfectly to cross post my items and you can either list into their catalog or you can just go directly from the platform you're on to the other platforms. It's completely up to you. I do have a demo video down in the description. If you guys wanna check out how that works, I show you both ways. So there's a link to the tutorial or demo, whatever you wanna call it but you can actually see me using the product which I think is really important. It is a subscription you pay by the month but it is worth every penny. I've been using it since 2019 and I love it and I always say that more platforms is more items on your, more eyes on your items which leads to more money.  I did pick up this Starbucks mug. It's really cool. It goes from red to green, hasn't sold yet. It's hanging out in my eBay store and there was no straw. So it would have been nice if there was a straw but I did end up grabbing that. Some Starbucks can do really well. I think I grabbed that little toy too but I'm not sure what that was. We've got a little instrument here. Would you guys have grabbed the instrument? It looks vintage. All right. We're just gonna keep digging here until we dig for the treasure. Oh, the treasure. The best treasure ever. I'm so excited. Oh my goodness. All right. I'm handing something off to someone. I have no idea who. A little cow. I pick up anything that's Fisher Price little people. I like selling those. A lot of times I will lot them up. The little nativity figures do really great. There's certain ones that they have a different shape on the bottom. They're called Zoo Talkers and they go with a play set and those will go for a little more. That's definitely one to be on the lookout for. And some days my Goodwill Benz has loads of plush. You should definitely go check out the Goodwill Benz video that I did that says grail. Oh my goodness. You guys are not gonna believe the plush that I pulled out of the Goodwill Benz. Those earrings, I did grab those earrings. They just look like children's earrings but they were on the original cards. I haven't done anything with them yet. I'm not really sure what I'm gonna do with them. They seem like they're just inexpensive little kids earrings but I don't know, maybe I'll sell them in a bundle. They're sitting to the side. I might bring them to whatnot and sell them in a lot. I'm not sure. That was a punch. And a lot of times I will pick up those punches. I'm not sure why I left that one behind. Martha Stewart is a great brand to pick up. If you can find her punches, they're great. Creative Memories is a great brand. Not necessarily the punches but just Creative Memories in general can be a great Bolo. A lot of times it's bread and butter but the sell-through rate is awesome. I just sell that stuff so fast. Lucite candle, bam. I knew that was a Bolo and I told Dad Planet because like I said, he was there. I'm like, look what I found. And he did not know about the Lucite candle so I taught him about Lucite candles. If you guys don't know about those they have like a glitter flake. I ended up taking that to whatnot and Noelle Farm Girl Scavenger bought that from me. So again, I will link her channel down in the description. I talked about her earlier. She is an incredible Bolo finder but those Lucite candles are definitely a Bolo. I can't remember what it sold for on whatnot but I did sell, I found two other ones at a thrift store and they were smaller versions and I sold those on whatnot also. And I think those went in for like, oh, maybe close to $40. They're definitely a Bolo Lucite candles, especially if you can find a pair. If you can find more than two, that's even better. I only found one but I was thrilled to have found that. So could I have put the Lucite candle on eBay? Yes, but what I'm trying to do is bring really cool items to whatnot and I was doing a Christmas, a vintage Christmas show. So I was like, this is perfect for my Christmas show and it worked out. I did really well with that item. Let me know in the comments if you have ever sold Lucite candles. Look at that, what is that? What is that? I'm watching it back and I'm like, huh, I don't remember that. All right, I'm actually sitting here doing this voiceover and I've got Donna Telebotilino's YouTube channel playing and she's showing jewelry and I'm trying not to pay attention to the jewelry because she's showing beautiful stuff. She has selling events on her channel and if you're not following her, definitely go and sub her up or I will link her down below. She sells incredible stuff and a lot of times she sells in bulk to resellers. That's mostly what she does. And Auctions For You also is another amazing channel that does the same thing. So check them both out. Excuse me, oh my goodness, this is a long video. I'm losing my voice. I don't know what that was. Okay, I think I picked these up. I think they're, it's like a necklace and then like, what do you call them? Teething beads and I am picking up all the ducks. I'm gonna send those over to Mountain Man Treasure as soon as I have a box full because he sells those ducks on his channel and I wanna say they go to, like what the proceeds go to some charity. I can't remember what it all, I can't remember the details but he does something with ducks. So I've been searching the bins for rubber ducks to send to Mountain Man Treasure and definitely sub him up down below. Troy's fantastic. Lots of great channels that I've mentioned. You guys will definitely love them all. So sub him up, they'll be down below. All right, what else do we have here? Okay, this right here, I believe, I picked this up. I can't remember if I just took the furniture, if I took the whole house. I think I bought the whole house but you know what, I haven't listed it yet. So I think it's somewhere in a bag but that was Peppa the Pig and I will pick up Peppa the Pig figures and toys. I did pick up this. It was incomplete, so I just grabbed the fish and I will sell the fish as replacements. That's another thing that is lingering in a bag somewhere and as soon as I find it, I will get those listed. I may have to come back to this video and look at this container to remember which I think it's Fisher Price. But yes, I like to do replacements. Yes, I know they're bread and butter. I sell a lot of bread and butter. I consider bread and butter items that are easier to find that I sell for $35 or less. That's what, if you see bread and butter in my title on my what sold video, that's what I'm sharing with you. So you know, 35 bucks is still good but I'll sell a lot of items for $10, $15 and all of those items add up. I think it was the rebel reseller. I know it was the rebel reseller but I'm trying to recall what exactly she said. I think it was her bread and butter items like her $10 or less items that paid her mortgage every month. And she talked about it in one of her videos but it's been a while ago. Definitely sub up the rebel reseller. She specializes in plush but she is a bolo finder. All right, you see me grabbing all these toys. Just grabbing, grabbing, grabbing. I don't know what that went to. I'm surprised I didn't put that in my cart. What am I doing? I'm like, here's the floor everyone. All right, this is a long one. Oh my goodness, I'm making you guys wait so long to see this $1,000 bolo. Can you believe how long I'm making you wait? This is awful. It's torture. This is torture. I don't know what that was. I was intrigued for a minute. All right, a paintbrush. So much stuff that just gets thrown out. Oh, wow. It's incredible, right? I can't remember if I grabbed those or not. I know sometimes those that are discontinued, some of those can do pretty well, the new old stock. Oh, right there, I just did that so I could find it later. I think I threw that back in and then just took the fish, which I have not listed yet. All right, I feel like we should be getting close. Oh, I found another huge money bolo on another trip. That one's gonna be in a future video. It already sold, I'm so excited. It sold for $275. So that will be in a future Goodwill Bins video. Big money bolo. I found it and I was like, are you kidding me? I can't believe I just found this. I knew it would sell for a lot of money and I knew it would sell pretty quickly. So that was one of the better things that I've also found at the Goodwill Bins. That was cute, but I think I ended up putting that back. All right, what's in there? Always look in the bags, always. All right. Oh my goodness. Oh, there's another duck. So funny. I like treasure hunt for ducks now. Okay, I did pick up this awesome spoon and you can see how dirty it is or tarnished I should say. I did clean that one up because it says spread the love on it and it was silver plated and it cleaned up beautifully and it's a butter knife and it is so cute and somebody is gonna snag that up from my store. I just know it, it's so cute. But I got it all nice and clean. I do pick up DVDs if they are new and sealed. Same with CDs. This is just a bread and butter, but it's sealed. So 59 cents a pound, easy to list, easy to ship. Definitely a just easy one. I'll definitely pick it up. Sealed is the key, even if it takes a long time to sell. Should I've got that little quilt? It's kind of cute. I think it was probably modern. All right, we're gonna keep digging. We've got to be getting close. That's an advent. I ended up putting that back, I think. I can't remember why, but certain advent calendars can go for crazy money. I do have a video on advent calendars to Bolo for. It's called a category video, which is where I pick a category and I basically do a deep research on it and I find all the Bolo's in that category. I have a whole playlist of those. So definitely check that out. It's how I learn and it's how I help others learn. So yeah, it's just another thing that I offer on the channel. Okay, well, maybe we're not gonna get to it in this video. Just kidding. That right there, I think it did something. I think you push that button and maybe, I don't know, maybe the snow floats around. Okay, I did pull these cards out of here. I have not done anything with them. I have no idea if they're a Bolo or not, but I took the cards out and I threw the binder back in because I don't need the binder. All right, and the cards, they weighed like nothing. So gotta look through those cards. I did pick up this little guy and I used Google Lens to figure out who he was. If you're not familiar with Google Lens, it is a free app and you can take a picture of something and it will pull up the item and help you identify it. I put these in my cart, but I ended up searching comps and I put those back. I can't remember what they were, but comps were okay, but I was just kind of on the fence about it so I left them behind. We have these things right here. We're some sort of like Karmat. So I took those over to Dad Planet and he looked that up for me because I don't know anything about it, but here it is, you guys. Here is my $1,000 item. You're like, what? It's an envelope. Yes, it's an envelope and we'll come back to that in just a minute. I actually found four envelopes. Everybody else passed them by. Here's Dad Planet. He's looking up those Karmats for me. They didn't really comp out very well for as heavy as they were so I decided to leave those behind, but I figured he'd be the person to research it. I found this beautiful necklace. It's sterling silver in the original packaging. Look at this. You see what that says? Stinky stickers. If you ever find stinky stickers, oh my goodness. Cha-ching, okay? These are scratch and sniff, you guys. And those are all scratch and sniff. I found hundreds. These are the ones that have already sold. Look at these prices. These are all the ones that are currently listed. I added it up. It's over $2,000 that I'm gonna make on these scratch and sniff stickers. I also found three other envelopes full of stickers. Now, the other stickers are vintage. They are not scratch and sniff, but they will sell for a profit. I don't know how much yet. I haven't got all of those listed. I have listed some of them. There were some really cool unicorns that I have listed, but just incredible. But these scratch and sniff are the really old ones and some of them are super hard to find. So if you wanna rewind and look at those sold prices, crazy. And I will be patient. I had somebody message me and they were kind of hateful with me about the price that I had on my stickers. And I'm like, that's okay. They don't know the sticker market. These are very, very collectible. I mean very collectible. And the ones that I have are super hard to find. A lot of these, I mean they're originals. Imagine if I had the full sheet. Most of my sheets were cut and only had six to eight on them. And they're still going for crazy money. So if you don't know, scratch and sniff stickers are definitely a huge money bolo. So this is my best goodwill bins find ever. And I found another one. I think four envelopes total, but when I saw stinky stickers, I was like, you gotta be kidding me.  And Dad Planet was like, did you find any stinky ones? And I'm like, I don't know. Because I hadn't looked, I had just thrown them in my cart. I'm like, oh stickers, I love stickers. I can sell stickers.  So let me know in the comments what you think. I'm super, super excited about it. I feel truly blessed to have found those and just a true blessing, I'm so excited. And they were easy to list and they're easy to ship. And I usually put them between two pieces of cardboard and bubble wrap, but first I put it in tissue paper. So I'm very, very careful about how I ship them because typically people buying those are collectors. And if you're going to ask, do they still have a scent? Most definitely, you can smell them. You don't even have to be super close to them and you can smell them for sure. So that was my $1,000 Bolo. Okay, Bolo Buddies, be sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share.

Narcissist expert reacts to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. I am a narc survivor and I am a narcissist expert. I have been studying narcissistic personality disorder for over three years. During that time I have worked with hundreds of clients including psychologists, psychotherapists and lawyers. I also have a YouTube channel with over 100,000 subscribers and over 24 million views. My expert opinion of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship is based on my lifetime of personal experience and three years of research. I believe that Meghan Markle is someone who has high narcissistic traits. When she targeted Prince Harry, she was not looking for a relationship. She did not intend to love or respect him. She targeted him based on her own self-interest and needs. She was looking for power and control. She wanted the ability to direct and influence people's behaviour and the course of events. Narcissists have to dominate people. They have to feel like they are in control. When a narcissist targets someone, they are looking for a person who is easy to control. A person who is easy to manipulate. And this is exactly what Meghan Markle did to Prince Harry. She had a plan of action designed to achieve a long-term result that is based on her own self-interest and needs. She targeted Prince Harry for a reason. He receives a lot of public attention. He is very wealthy. He has a high social and professional position. And Meghan saw this as a means to obtain power. She knew what type of person Prince Harry was. She knew that he was an empath. Narcissists deliberately target empathic people. They deliberately target people who show an ability to understand and share the feelings of another. While narcissists lack empathy, they lack the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing. Which is how they can abandon people so easily. They will discard anyone who is no longer serving them. Anyone who is no longer doing what they want. Which is exactly what Meghan has done in her past. Her father said in an interview with TMZ Before Prince Harry and Meghan left the royal family My daughter dumped me one day before she got married. She dumped my family. She's dumped Doria Raglan's family. She's dumped every family. And now she's even dumping the British royal family. She divorced her ex-husband, Trevor Engelsson a few years before she met Prince Harry. Some reports say that they split up due to irreconcilable differences or that he couldn't cope with her fame. But there have been claims that have said Trevor is extremely unhappy with his ex-wife. He has been quoted as saying he was devastated and that he felt like a piece of gum at the bottom of his shoe. It has been said that his eyes blazed with anger whenever Meghan's name was mentioned. Meghan targeted Prince Harry because he is an empath. Like his mother Princess Diana he cares a lot about the causes that he is involved in. And it could be seen in his interviews that he has a genuine concern for other people. Many of us have the desire to be recognised for our qualities and abilities. But this is something that narcissists see as a weakness. They see it as something that they can exploit. When Meghan first met Prince Harry she idealised him. She put him on a pedestal. She made him feel loved. Narcissists will be whatever they think you want them to be. They use a set of techniques known as cold reading without prior knowledge. They quickly obtain a great deal of information by analysing your body language, clothing, ethnicity, level of education and a matter of speech. They make use of their high probability guesses and then pick up on signals on whether their guesses are in the right direction or not. They then emphasise and reinforce their chance connections and quickly move on from any missed guesses. Narcissists will cold read what you want out of a relationship and then reflect it back to you. Meghan recognised that Prince Harry was looking for someone who was concerned with and seeking to promote human welfare. Someone who wanted to give assistance to people in need. Someone who was compassionate, generous and unselfish. Someone who was relaxed and not easily upset or worried. Someone who was low maintenance. Someone who was independent and not demanding a lot of attention. Someone who was down to travel to some of the most remote parts of the world. And this is the impression that she gave to him. Narcissists can manipulate people by compensating for their insecurities. By showing them they see them the way they want to be seen. Prince Harry was afraid of only being loved being a prince or for being wealthy. So right from the beginning, Meghan acted as though she didn't know much about him. She acted as though she didn't care about his social or professional position. She acted as though she was only looking for someone who was kind. But as the relationship progresses, it gets to a stage where the narcissist wants you to do everything that they expect you to do. They want you to prioritize their needs and desires.  All of the time they spent making you feel loved. They want love from you and they also demand intense loyalty. Prince Harry was made to display his loyalty to Meghan by defending her against his family. Narcissists expect you to prioritize their needs and desires. They expect you to prioritize their emotions and they will try to isolate you from your friends and family. This is why Prince Harry is always trying to defend Meghan. He does whatever she wants. A narcissist will make you do whatever they think will help them win. But they will never let you feel like they are winning because they always want more.  Meghan wanted Prince Harry to think that everyone was against her. Everyone was harassing her. She wanted him to see her as though she gave up her entire life for him. And now her career isn't going anywhere. And this makes you feel guilty. If you care and love for them, you don't want to see them hurt or upset. You want to fix all of their problems. You want to protect them. And the narcissist loves it when you do this. They want you to spend all of your time trying to fix things for them. They want you to defend and support them. They want you to give them all the love that they could ever have wanted. But this stage doesn't last for long. It's only a matter of time until the narcissist gets bored. They don't want love and respect. They just want to feel like they're in control. They want to feel like they have power over you. And that is why they always end up devaluing you. It will feel like an emotional rollercoaster. They will put you down. They will deliberately be unfriendly to you. They will give you the silent treatment. While making you think that nothing is wrong.  But it will make you feel miserable. The narcissist will switch back and forth between love bombing and devaluation. Their behavior gradually gets worse and worse. They play on your insecurities. It makes you wonder what you did wrong. You don't expect this behavior from someone you love. So it makes you work even harder. Because you want the good times to come back. It creates an addiction. At this point, some people will just leave. They're not going to want to tolerate this behavior. But if you do try to leave. The narcissist will make you feel guilty. They will play the victim role.  They will act like they are going through a difficult time. They will act like they need your help and support. And if they're really cruel. They will even blame you for what they're going through. They will do whatever it takes to re-establish their sense of control. But even if you do stay. Eventually they will get bored. You will no longer be their primary focus. And they will be looking for someone else. Prince Harry is not at this stage with Meghan yet. But she has done this many times before. She did this to her ex-husband Trevor Injelson. And also her ex-boyfriend Corey Vitiello. She was dating Corey when she first met Prince Harry. And their relationship ended. Just weeks before she started seeing him. It has been said that although Meghan and Corey were in a serious relationship. It hit the rocks. When Corey began to tire of her increasingly prima donna-like behavior. Which is typical behavior of a narcissist. They are very temperamental. They are liable to unreasonable changes of mood. And they have an inflated view of their own talent and importance. They think they are more talented and important than they actually are. They are disapproving and difficult to please. They are vain and consider themselves too good to do certain tasks. Or live at the conditions they consider to be inadequate. Their difficult behavior can be very annoying. And this is what made Corey very upset. Women state that Meghan even took credit for Corey's past a dish. Her limelight stealing killed their connection. It can be distressing to be discarded by a narcissist. But it is actually the best thing that can happen. Other than walking out yourself. When the narcissist discards you.  They might try to hoover you.  But this is only because they don't want you to move on. They just want to keep you on their shelf. In case they need you in the future. They don't want to be with you. But they don't want you to stop thinking about them. Narcissists use your ability to empathize with people against you. But being an empath isn't a bad thing. It doesn't mean that people are always going to exploit you. It just means that narcissistic people will try to use these qualities against you. Which is why it is so important to educate yourself in this disorder. Check out my other videos about narcissists. And please share them with anyone who you believe may help.

Hello everybody and welcome to the class. So, we have been doing a lot of Japanese in these past lessons. You have learnt verbs and adjectives. In our last lesson, we did verbs in base form, in the dictionary form, in the present plain form. So, now this time in this class we are going to do verbs in past form, plain past form of the verb. That is what we are going to practice with a lot of other things also. Also, we will do something new today. I want to tell you about festivals in Japan. So, we will learn about a festival which happens, which is celebrated during this time of the year. So, well, before that we will do our assignments as we always do. And let us see how much is right, how much is correct, whatever you have done. So, well, the first assignment is match group A with group B and make good sentences. So, well, this is a very simple exercise. We have been doing sentences all these days in our previous lessons. So, well, what you have to do is you have to match them. Let us see what it is and you can check as well. Tanaka san wa mainichi nijikan benkyou wo suru. So, if you remember, we had done plain form of the verb in our previous lesson. Instead of shimasu, we are using suru, which is the plain form or the dictionary form of this verb of group 3. It means exactly the same as I told you last time. Meaning does not change, only this is plain form of the verb. Watashi wa kino roku-ji ni okimashita past form, minasan furu de nani wo shimasu ka? If the intonation is rising and high, you can omit the ka over here. You do not have to use the ka only if the intonation is rising. It becomes a question statement. Well, ashita gogo shichi-ji ni kaegi ga arimasu. Can you tell me what is the plain form for arimasu? It is aru, natsu yasumi ni kazoku to dokoe ikimasu ka? Ikutou issho ni omitiru over here, not written. Imouto san wa daigakusei desu ka? Raigetsu amerika e ikimasu. Tomodachi wa mainichi uchi de ega wo mimasu or miru as is given over here. Daigaku no shiken wa raigetsu desu. So well, I hope this was all correct. Now we have this second assignment, where fill in the blanks with appropriate interrogative words is given which you have to do. So let us see what is the first interrogative word. Well, dare ga tegami wo kakimashita ka? That is, who. Then isu no ue ni nani ga arimasu ka? Because of arimasu, you have to use ni over here. This is for inanimate. Kino watashi wa dokoe mo ikimasen deshita. As we did in our previous lesson, well, dokoe mo will always have a negative verb in the end. Kino dare ga kimashita ka? Dare is again who. Kono jishou wa dare no desu ka? Dare no is who's. Because you know already, dono kuruma wa nihon no desu ka? Now with dono and noun over here, it is choice between two. So which one of these two, anata no tanjoubi wa itsu desu ka? Please remember, tanjoubi is always itsu and senen gapi is nan. Right hiragana for the words given below, well, the hiragana is given here in the right column and you have the words here. You can check them out and practice your hiragana, write it and practice. Now you have to match the kanji is over here, kanji is given over here in the left column in column A and you have the words in Roman in column B. So, let us see what is the first one over here. That is what we are doing actually. Nihongo, this is oki and this is hito means otona and adult. Daigaku, again oki over here and gaku is seat of learning or place of learning. So, oki place of learning will naturally be a daigaku which is a university. Kino denwa, denwa, we have done this kanji, it is a little complicated. You do not have to write it now. You can remember it from the visual and try to memorize it. Tokio, hanasu. So, you can see over here also there is the same character and you have this character here for hanasu. The reading over here is denwa and over here it is hanasu. Both mean to talk. So, talking on phone is denwa and this is hanasu is to talk. Gozen, mainichi and then in the end we have nen. So, I hope everything was correct. Now, fill in the blanks with particles, proper particles. Particles are not given. You are supposed to write the particles on your own. Well, I will just read it out once and let us see what you have done. Kino wa yasumi deshita, watashi wa tomodachi to densha de, kaisha no hitotachi to issho ni piknik e ikimashita. So, densha de, we have done mode of transport, we will always take particle de. Then, minna wa kanpur eki no iriguchi no mai ni atsumarimashita, atsumarimasu is to gather. Eki kara densha ni norimashita, soshite ichijikan ato bus ni norikaemashita, norikaemasu is to change from one mode of transport to another. Then, bus wa yama no naka wo hashirimashita, watashitachi wa piknik no basho ni juuichi ji ni tsukimashita, ni will be because of time, piknik no basho, basho is place. Soshite sanjuppon yasumimashita, juuichi jihan ni soba no restaurante at oishihiru gohan wo tabemashita. Gohan no ato watashitachi wa yamamichi wo san kirogurai arukimashita. Gurai you already know is approximate time duration or amount. So, well over here san kirogurai, approximately for 3 km we walked. Taksan shashino torimashita, torimashita is to take pictures because of shashino over here. Shashin is picture. Tsukarimashita kara taksi de kaerimashita, tsukarimashita is to be tired because tired taksi de kaerimashita. Watashi no piknik wa tanoshikatta desu. I was very very happy during the piknik, it was an enjoyable experience is what it says. So well, you can check your particles now and this was reading comprehension. You were to read the passage and answer the questions. So well, you can do it again. The answers are given right here. In short, you can write proper sentences, make proper sentences and write full answers over here. The answers are right here for you. Tsumarimash means to meet and Toru means to take a photograph or to snatch something from someone. So well, this was your assignment set and now you can listen to the radio conversation. It is a simple conversation, very very short and then we will discuss it. Onii san, arigatou nan desu ka? Kamera desu yo. Okaa san, okaa san, onii san ni kamera wo muratta, yokatta desu ne. Well, a very simple conversation over here between two people, Onii san and Imoto. Onii san is elder sister, Imoto of course you already know is younger sister and then there is another person over here, Okaa san. So, actually this conversation is between three people, Kaiba is conversation. So well, I will read it out once and you can see how much you understand. So well, this is your conversation. This is in the script, there are a few words over here, there are a few expressions which of course I will do with you and this is the English not translation, but this is what you would say in English when you get a present. So well, let us see what it is. Now you have this expression over here, you see three people on a table with a birthday cake and some presents wrapped up very nicely with paper and bows and some glasses are kept on the table, some candles are there. So well, let us see what they are saying and doing. Tanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu. So well, omedetou gozaimasu is an expression which generally you would use for congratulating people. It could be birthdays, it could be on getting a good job, it could be when you have a child or you get good marks in class or you do well, it could be omedetou on any occasion like this and omedetou means congratulations. So well, they are congratulating this girl, we can call her Mariko over here. These two friends are congratulating Mariko-san on her birthday. So let us see what it is. Tanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu. Well, we have these two saying this to Mariko-san and what does Mariko-san have to say? Well, arigatou gozaimasu. So answer to Tanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu is thank you arigatou gozaimasu. So you can use this phrase anywhere you want. For example, in our conversation, she just received a present from her sister. So well, Tanjoubi omedetou gozaimasu arigatou gozaimasu. So now, in our previous lesson, we did verbs in dictionary form, present plain form like this, ikimasu tabemasu yomi masu kaki masu hiki. We have been doing verbs in masu form, masen masuta masen deshita. This form we did in plain form as well, iku taberu group 2, yomu group 1, kaku group 1 and kiku group 1 again. Now we have also done ikimashita tabemasuta and so on, yomimashita, kakimashita and kikimashita. Now how will you make the past plain over here? It is very simple. All you have to do is, you have to add tta for group 1, tta for group 1, tta for group 2. So look over here, remove the mashi from over here and tabeta for group 2. So you have group 2 verbs like miru, taberu in plain form neru, so mita, tabeta and neta. That is how you will make for group 2. Well, for group 1, you have to add tta. So over here, ikimashita, itta, yomi, mashita, yonda, kaki, mashita, kaita. So well, group 1 has a lot of exceptions also, thus sometimes you will add tta, sometimes you may have to add ita, sometimes you may have to add nda. So well, there are these exceptions. We will do these exceptions during our class over the lessons from now onwards. For the time being, you have the set over here which you can practice. Get it from the sound, it is easier and simpler. So well, we have ikimashita in the beginning. I will say it out, please repeat after me. ikimashita, itta, kaerimashita, kaetta, aimashita, atta, kaimashita, katta, hakobimashita, hakonda, migakimashita, migaita, hashirimashita, hashitta, hanashimashita, hanashita, kakimashita, kaita, kikimashita, kiita, arukimashita, aruita. So well, now you will see that in some places you have tta, tta over here. In this case it is all tta, then here you have nda, itta, itta, itta. So well, there are these verbs which have tta, which have nda and which also have ita. We will get used to these verbs as we practice here in class during our lessons. So it is not very difficult, it is simple, get it from the sound initially and then we will make sentences. Now practice verbs in plain past form. You have done in present form, in our dictionary form. Now we will do in plain past form. What is the first one? Let us see. There is this picture of this gentleman leaving his house, his wife is inside. So, what do we have now in plain form? So, you can see 出ました and 出た in plain form. It does not change the meaning at all, only the verb changes from 出ました to plain form. That is all. Then we have this gentleman sleeping, it is 11 o'clock in the night probably and he is sleeping and let us see what it is. 11 o'clock in the night, 寝ました so he slept at 11 o'clock. And what is the plain form?  So well, let us see what is written over here, 11 o'clock in the night. Now we have another picture where this gentleman is asking something and this lady is pointing at something. So, let us see what it is, 女の人に聞きました, 聞きます is to ask over here. 聞きます means to listen also and 聞きます also means to ask. So, over here as he is asking, well, let us see what it is, 女の人に聞いた. So, well, the verb in plain form is not k-i-t-a, not k-i-t-a, 聞いた but k-i-ta, please, it is a long sound. So, please remember that it is a long sound over here, 聞いた. Now, you can practice this with other verbs as well. You can make sentences with these verbs in mass form and then you can try making the same sentence in plain form. We have more practice for you. Now, what is this gentleman doing over here? He has a box in his hand. What is he trying to do? Well, let us see. Nimotsu is luggage, baggage or something that you are carrying. So, well, he is carrying a box. Nimotsu wo, dozo, tell me what it is. We did it in the practice just now. Let us see. Hakobu, Nimotsu wo hakobu, to transfer Nimotsu to transfer something from one place to another is Hakobu. Now, it is in plain form, in dictionary form, in present plain form. Now, what are we going to do with past tense? Nimotsu wo hakonda, please practice. You can see nda is given over here. So, all verbs in their plain form, if they end in buu like this, then in past form it is nda. Please remember that, kare wa Nimotsu wo hakonda. He transferred luggage from, baggage from one place to another. Now, let us see what we have in the next picture. Well, we have a classroom, teacher is leaving and the students are saying, thank you very much or arigato. So, well, what is it? Benkyou wo, well, tell me what it is? It is suru, Benkyou wo suru, to do. What is it in plain past form?  So, well, what is the sentence? Seito wa juu ichi-ji made, Benkyou wo shita and in past form it will be, seito wa juu ichi-ji made, Benkyou wo shimashita. Seito is gaksetachi, pupils or students, made is til. Now, we have another picture over here. There is Tanaka san who is about to eat and has finished eating as there is nothing on the plate now. So, well, Gohan wo, can you tell me? We did it here, just now on the board, right here for you. Gohan wo tabeta, that is right, gohan wo tabeta, in plain form it is gohan wo taberu and then gohan wo tabeta, Tanaka san wa gohan wo tabeta, mass form is Tanaka san wa gohan wo tabemashita. So, I hope it is clear now how to use past plain form. Everything does not change at all. Now, there is a small conversation here, nanika tabemasu ka? Ie, ima nani mo tabemasen, dou shite desu ka? Kesa tabeta kara ima tabemasen, so I am sure this is understood. You all have understood this, dou shite is why, nanika something we have done this earlier. Nanika tabemasu ka? Will you have something? Ie, ima nani mo tabemasen, I will not have anything and whenever there is nani mo whatever verb follows is always in the negative. Dou shite desu ka? Why? Kesa is today morning, tabeta kara I had in the morning, thus ima tabemasen, I will not eat now. So, well you can practice it, saki a little while ago. Same conversation, you can replace kesa with saki, for example, nanika tabemasu ka? Ie, ima nani mo tabemasen, dou shite desu ka? Saki tabeta kara I just had a little while ago, ima tabemasen, so well you can replace all this whatever is going to follow now, uchi desu tabeta kara ima tabemasen.  Now as I told you earlier in Japanese, masu form is always going to come in the end. Always masu form is used in the end. Now when you want to make sentences like this, when you want to make complicated sentences, when you want to use more than one verb, what will you do? You have to use verb in plain form because masu form will come only in the end. You cannot have two masu forms in a sentence. Please remember that and things will be very easy. Now saki tabeta uchi desu tabeta shigoto aru and kara you are giving a reason over here. So you will see before kara, verb is always in plain form. That is what is important over here. You have to remember that when you are talking, then when to use plain form, when to use masu form, you have to keep in mind. Now what is next, ato de taberu kara, I will eat later, ato de taberu kara ima now tabemasen. So this is how you can make your sentences, a small dialogue, a very very small dialogue but everything is stated very very clearly. Another one, dou shite desu ka, why are you not eating now, ima isogashi kara tabemasen. I am busy over here, thus I will not eat now. Now you can also do this with other time expressions that you have done. For example, in this conversation, インド料理を tabemashou ka, iie kino tabeta kara kyou tabemasen. I had it yesterday, thus will not have it now. So let us see what other time expressions we can use. インドの笑顔, as you can see on the board, 昨日 食べたから 今 食べません. 先週 笑顔 見ますか いいえ 先週 見ましたから 先週 見たから 今 見ません. Picnic e ikimasu ka いいえ 週末に 行ったから 今 行きません or ashta 行きません. So you can use these time expressions that you have done in class earlier and make sentences give reasons for not doing a certain thing or for performing a certain activity. Like this over here instead of インド料理, you can replace it with 天乱開. It is very clear インドの笑顔 見ましょうか 先週 instead of 昨日 先週 見ましたから 今日 見ません. So you have to replace the verb according to 天乱開へ行きましょうか 音とい 行きましたから or 行ったから 今日 行きません. What else do we have? Shokudo e ikimashou ka 食堂へ行きましょうか 先日 行ったから We did this word 先 in the previous slide 先いったから 今 行きません. Then we have コーヒーを飲みましょうか 先飲んだから 今 飲みません. So that is how you can practice with your partner. One person can ask and one person can answer and you can do simple conversations like this in Japanese. Now let us see what is next. We have two verbs over here which are a little difficult and there is lots to do in these verbs as well. I will just introduce these verbs today and then we will do these verbs in our next lesson also. Age masu and morai masu. Age masu means to give and morai masu means to receive or to get. So you will see over here who is giving and who is receiving is what is important with these two verbs over here. And in Japanese it has a lot of importance because relationships are important, your position is important when you are giving something to someone, when you are talking to someone, when you are performing an activity with someone, your relationship with that person is extremely important where you are placed is important and that is how you will use these two verbs age masu and morai masu in conversation. So well over here a simple introduction, two people are again talking, Rao san, imouto san no tanjoubi ni nani wo agemashita ka? What did you give? Now over here E-san is talking about younger sister of Rao san. So well he is using san over here. Please remember san is not to be used for family members. Only for someone else or someone else's family members you would use san. So over here Rao san, imouto san no tanjoubi ni date ni nani wo agemashita ka? Watashi wa kamera wo agemashita, I gave a camera. So well this is agemasu, very simple. You have this vocabulary over here, lot of words are given, Oto san, Oto san, Oka san, imouto, tomodachi, kodomo, Oto san. So lots of words you can replace for imouto san and again for camera it is given over there. You can also replace for camera with ningyou, ningyou, omocha, toke or anything E-san wa bi san ni nani wo agemashita ka over here. So well ningyou wo agemashita, ningyou wo agemashita, omocha wo agemashita, toke wo agemashita. So you can practice it like this, it is given over here you can make any combination over here Oto san, Oka san, imouto, Oto to, kodomo, any of these and then you have instead of tanjoubi you can have Kekkon shiki which is marriage, Kekkon kinenbi which is marriage anniversary and Sotsugyou no toki which is graduation. You can replace it with tanjoubi, Rao san, imouto no kekkon shiki ni nani wo agemashita ka or imouto no kekkon kinenbi ni nani wo agemashita ka. Well, we have let us see, shousetsu, tokei, doresu, nekutai, shatsu, omocha, any of these things you can give. This is niwatsukuri hon which is a gardening book. Watashi wa doresu wo agemashita, watashi wa omocha wo agemashita, watashi wa tokei wo agemashita. You can practice like this with your partner. Now we did this verb just now, agemasu, now we are going to do moraimasu. So well, Rao san, okaasan kara nani wo moraimashita ka, Rao san, okaasan kara nani wo moraimashita ka. So well, watashi wa hon wo moraimashita, watashi wa hon wo moraimashita. Watashi wa instead of hon, you can have tokei hon wo moraimashita, tokei wo moraimashita, or anything you want, o moraimashita. Practices given over here, you can practice, watashi wa okaasan kara from my mother, kara over here means from. You have done it for time, you have done it for place, well, you can use kara now. In this manner, Rao san, okaasan kara nani wo moraimashita ka. So well, watashi wa okaasan kara tokei wo moraimashita, oto-san kara nani wo moraimashita ka, imouto kara nani wo moraimashita ka and so on you can replace okaasan for any of these words over here and then we have all these words for you, nani nani wo moraimashita, you have shousetsu, which is novel, tokei, doresu, niwatsukuri hon, nekutai, shatsu, omocha. So you have all these, you can say, oto-to wa nekutai wo moraimashita or kodomo wa omocha wo moraimashita, any of this and make good sentences and do kaiba. So this is what it is, verb is expressing to give to receive, ageru and morau respectively depend on who gives what to whom. That is very very important, you can just read this and you will understand. Of course, we will be doing these verbs again in our next chapter, in our next class and also after that because there are lot of things that need to be covered with agemasu and moraimashita. This is a very very small introduction to these two verbs. Now we have another practice, you have done this counter ka-i earlier, if I remember correctly. So do you remember doing this word kai, jimushitsu wa nan kai desu ka? Which floor, number of floors, jimushitsu wa ni kai desu, so well it is on the second floor. Now today we are going to do kai again, but in a different way, anata wa mainichi nan kai gohan o tabemasu ka? For example, how many times do you eat food? So well let us see now, anata wa mainichi nan kai, number of times gohan o tabemasu ka?  Watashi wa ni kai tabemasu. Kodomo wa yonkai tabemasu. So depending on the number of times you eat, you can put the number over here and add kai to it. Number is here and kai is to be added, so many number of times. Now instead of gohan over here, you can have aega or you could say ha-o-migaku or more interesting, tomodachi ni denwa wo suru. So how many times do you call your friend? How many times do you talk to your friend?  How many times you have juice? You can ask like this and answer and practice simple conversation. The conversation is right here, we will do it right away. Tanaka san wa mainichi nan kai gohan o tabemasu ka? San kai tabemasu and E-san says watashi wa ni kai tabemasu. So simple, both are giving information about themselves. You have ha, which is teeth, kagami, which is mirror and shower, of course you all know.  Mimasu is to see and abimasu is to take a bath. So well, Tanaka san wa mainichi nan kai ha o migakimasu ka? Watashi wa ikkai migakimasu. So well, you can answer like this, Mariko-chan mainichi nan kai kagami o mimasu ka? Jukkai mimasu, watashi wa ikkai mo mimasen, I do not even see it once. So you can practice like this and use all these times a number of activity is done in your conversation. Now, again you can practice with time expressions. For example, instead of mainichi, you can put kino-shu-ni meaning in a week, ikkagetsu-ni in a month. So Tanaka san wa ikkagetsu-ni nan kai okaa san ni tegami o kakimasu ka?  San kai, I do it thrice in a week. So you have these words over here, you can practice kai with time expressions and make simple conversation using kai. These small words actually help your conversation, help you do conversation in a better way. Kai is given, it is a counter for counting number of times and activities performed, a work is done during a certain period of time. So you have ikkai, nikai san kai, yonkai, gokai, it is simple you just take the number and add kai after that. As we always do, I am going to do kanji with you.  So that is okaa san, like this. You can see the number of strokes given over here. Let us see it is a 5 stroke character and then we have otou san. This word also you have done, otou san means father, it is interesting this character is a 4 stroke character, fathers are always frowning, they are always angry and always scolding. So, it is from the face expression, you have the brows frowning and there is father always scolding and ready to beat if the children make a mistake. So that is what it is, we have been doing hiragana, there are lot of things we need to cover now. So, well hiragana is there. This is the last section of hiragana for the first set of 46 syllables, well this is wa as you can see, please kindly note the stroke order, the right correct stroke order is right here for you, you need to draw the straight line first and then make it like this. So please get the order right, make it properly and learn it like that, well you can see y is right here for you, then we have o, again o is like this 1, 2, 3 and 4. So please again the stroke order is given properly over here for you, please check it out and then write and practice. Now we have this is the last syllable of the 46 syllables in the first set, it is the sound of n which you will see in minna san or remon. So this is the sound that you get over there, well please learn it like this, it is similar to our h in the English alphabet. You can see the stroke order now, it is a little slanting, stilted and that is how it is made. This is vocabulary, you can go through the vocabulary, it is given in Roman in the script in Hiragana and then the meanings are given over here, just go through the vocabulary and practice it loudly at home. Now as I had promised to you earlier, I am going to be doing important festivals of Japan here in class. Today I have a very nice festival, the Hanami festival of Japan and why I have chosen Hanami today is because we have just seen that festival end in the middle of May. So well this is Matsuri festival is also called Matsuri in Japanese and we will see what it is, it is a beautiful festival, it is a festival of flowers, it is an old traditional festival of Japan and you will see the pictures, the pictures are all from the net, you can also go and look up all of it on the net, it is there but this is just an introduction and I hope you enjoy it and like it. It is called Hanami as I told you just now, Hanami means flower and me you have done this character here, this means miru to see or to view. So viewing flowers bloom is Hanami, celebrating the spring season is Hanami, now you just see the pictures and you will know. Well, these are the sakura trees, the sakura blossoms and this particular flower is also the unofficial national flower of Japan. They are beautiful flowers, these trees are planted alongside the road next to the river side in cemeteries all over Japan and when they bloom it is a beautiful sight because the sky looks pink and not blue. It is beautiful, people go there, people celebrate the Hanami season, people go to watch these flowers, now this custom of viewing flowers, this custom of going enjoying like this, celebrating the spring is very old in Japan. This started sometime long back in somewhere in the 8th century or the 7th century where initially only the Imperial house, the royal family would go and view these flowers, would enjoy this season with their family and friends. Over period of time gradually this shifted to the samurai section and also then to the common man and initially instead of the sakura flowers which are very popular now in Japan, ume flowers or the plum flowers were actually more popular and they were viewed. The people of Japan would celebrate under those trees picnic, party, enjoy with friends. Now it is of course the sakura flowers, you see more pictures and you will see. Now you see sakura over here, it is just wild all over and once it blooms in the month of April and May, it is a wonderful sight to see actually. It starts from the lower southern most island of Japan which is Okinawa and from there as it gets warmer and warmer, it moves northwards towards the top most island of Hokkaido and gradually it blooms. So that is called the sakura zen sen and in the news the meteorological agency always follows that blooming of the flowers and they celebrate it in Japan. So this is one, well you can see another one, you can see this river over here, it is planted alongside rivers, brooks and ponds, lakes all over in cemeteries and how beautiful it is. Or actually the flowers, just 5 petals to it but they bloom in groups, bunches and you can read all of this, all the material is given. You can also go on the net and see for yourself, that is how they celebrate. Sit under the tree, enjoy good food with friends and family chat and enjoy. All this you can see how beautiful it looks, they are called cherry blossoms and alongside rivers also, riverside you will have and you just go and celebrate. Enjoy the day out, enjoy the spring season after a long harsh winter. Now there is a saying over here also, I have been doing proverbs with you and this interesting proverb is Hana yori dango means actually that the person instead of watching flowers is more interested in eating food but there is a deeper meaning to it and it means that you are very very practical, a person is very practical is interested only in practical things and material things and would actually not enjoy something as beautiful as flowers. So well, someone who is very practical does not bother about beauty is what it is Hana yori dango, more interested in eating than viewing flowers. Well, this is dango and you can see how it is, it is made out of sticky rice in Japan, it is roasted also and you can go on the net and see. Now in the end you have your assignments, my work is over, we have discussed a lot of things, practiced a lot of things, you have your assignments right here, you have to finish these assignments today. Match group A with B as we have been doing all along, match kanji with hiragana, proper readings then we have, you have to choose the most appropriate word from the brackets, pick the word then change all of this into past form, verbs and words that you can change and look at the pictures and practice your verbs and that is all for today, that is all that we have for you. There is less homework with lot of learning to be done because there are verbs in past tense. So, please practice all this at home because we are going to do something new in our next class very soon. So, minasan mata ashita aimashou, arigatou gozaimasu, thank you.


Personal Finance PowerPoint Presentation Open and Fund. Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. Most of this information comes from Investopedia Open and Fund, which you can find online. Take a look at the references, resources, continue your research from there. This by James Chen, updated December 11, 2021. In prior presentations, we've been taking a look at investment goals, investment strategies, investment tools, keeping in mind the two major categories of investments. That being the fixed income, typically the bonds, and the equities, typically the common stock. We also want to keep in mind other tools we might use. That includes the mutual funds, the ETFs, helping us to diversify using these tools as opposed to, for example, investing in individual stocks and individual bonds. Keeping that in mind, what is an Open and Fund? An Open and Fund is a diversified portfolio of pooled investor money that can issue an unlimited number of shares. The fund sponsors sell shares directly to investors and redeems them as well. These shares are priced daily based on their current net asset value. That's the NAV. Some mutual funds, hedge funds, and exchange traded funds, those are the ETFs, are types of Open and Fund. So we're typically thinking of a kind of tool that we would be using instead of investing, say, in the individual stocks. We're investing, say, in kind of a mutual fund, for example. So these are more common than their counterpart, close-end funds, and are the bulwark of the investment options in company-sponsored retirement plans, such as a 401k plan. So oftentimes, people's kind of first individual experience with investing is through, say, a 401k plan, because it's such a big benefit that the company can offer because there's going to be those tax benefits related to it. Oftentimes, people kind of think of the 401k, or you might have a 403b, or possibly be investing, say, in an IRA, for example. As though those kind of things, the 401k is the actual investment tool itself. But I would think of it more like the 401k plan is kind of like an umbrella over the normal kind of investment tools that you would have, such as some kind of mutual fund that is helping you to invest and diversify as you invest using the tool of, like, a mutual fund, which is pooling, like, the money together, for example, to get the diversification instead of buying the individual stocks. You could buy those similar kind of investment tools or strategies, mutual funds outside of the umbrella of a 401k plan. The reason you want to buy them within the 401k plan if you have the capacity to do that is not because the investment under the umbrella of the 401k plan is really different than what you can get outside of it, but because if you stick it under the umbrella, although it's restricted, you can't touch it, you can't take it out as easily as you could. Otherwise, you get that big, huge tax benefit and possibly some matching related to it, and that's why you put it into the 401k plan. Okay, so how an open end fund works? An open end fund issue shares as long as buyers want them, so it is always open to investment, hence the name, open end fund. So that's great when you're investing in something like a 401k plan because oftentimes you're going to be wanting to put money in it periodically. You might be trying to use some kind of fund that's going to help you to diversify in a very hands-off type of way so that you can invest possibly on a paycheck-by-paycheck basis, for example. Purchasing shares cost the fund to create new replacement shares whereas selling shares takes them out of circulation. Shares are bought and sold on demand at their NAV, that's the net asset value. The daily basis of the net asset value is on the value of funds underlying securities and is calculated at the end of the trading day. So if you're talking about kind of like a mutual fund oftentimes with an open end fund, you don't have the fluctuation in the price during the trading day, as you do say, for example, with individual stocks oftentimes, but you're going to value it based on the underlying assets within the fund on a periodic basis, typically at the end of the day. That's usually not a problem for investors that are investing, say, in a 401k plan because they don't need to be trading, you're not day trading during the day, so that's generally not a problem, but if you needed the funds, if you're trying to trade like these kind of packaged funds together or diversified tools together more like a stock, then you might be looking at some like kind of ETFs options for that. But again, generally, not generally a problem for like a 401k plan. For example, if a large number of shares are redeemed, the fund may sell some of its investment to pay the selling investors. So an open end fund provides investors an easy low-cost way to pool money and purchase a diversified portfolio reflecting a specific investment objective. So this is often, again, quite useful for like retirement, for example, because you're trying to diversify in basically a hands-off kind of way and have it pooling together to allow you to have that diversification even possibly with lesser investments than you otherwise could do if you were investing in individual stocks, individual bonds. Investing objectives include investing for growth or income and in large cap or small cap companies, among others. Further, the funds can target investment into specific industries or countries. So we've talked about this in general in terms of these kind of tools like mutual funds. There's different kind of specifications that you might be using in order to target your mutual fund, which could be specific regions, for example, or different kind of diversified portfolio, which we might get into in a little bit here. Investors typically do not need a lot of money to gain entry into an open end fund. That's the beauty of it. So if you bought individual stocks to diversify, it would be quite costly typically with a little bit of money. With these kind of tools, you can diversify more easily with that money, making the fund easily accessible for all levels of investors. Occasionally, when a fund's investment management determines that a fund's total assets have become too large to execute its stated objective effectively, the fund will be closed to new investors. So in extreme cases, some funds will be closed to additional investment by existing fund shareholders. Open end funds are so familiar, virtually synonymous with mutual funds. So we've talked about, obviously, mutual funds in the past. This is, you know, characteristic generally you can think of them as a type of open end fund oftentimes. So that many investors may not realize they are not the only type of fund in town. This type of investment fund is not even the original type of investment fund. Close end funds are older than mutual funds by several decades, dating back to 1893 according to the close end fund center. So the difference of close end funds. Close end funds launched through an initial public offering. That's going to be the IPO. So, you know, when a stock issues the initial public offering, generally that's what we think about with the IPO. Oftentimes they're actually issuing the stock from the company when you're thinking about an IPO as opposed to selling kind of on the secondary market, which is where most of the trading take place and sell on the open market. The close end fund shares trade on and exchange and are more liquid. They price trades at a discount or premium to the NAV. That's the net asset value based on supply and demand throughout the trading day. So now, instead of, as we talked about with the open ended funds, they're priced at the end of the day based on the value. So now we've got trading happening during the day, which again could give some benefit if you're trading these similar to how you would trade stocks on like a day trade kind of kind of situation, trading them more often. But for many long-term investors that might not be concerned for them because they're going to be investing and sticking with it for a longer timeframe, often times. Since close end funds do not have that requirement, they may invest in liquid stocks, securities or in markets such as real estate. So you could have different components or different capacities in that sense for the close end funds. Close end funds may impose additional costs through wide bid ask spreads for illiquid funds and a volatile premium discount to the NAV, the net asset value. Close end funds demand that shares be traded through a broker. So now you've got to go through the broker here. Most of the time, investors can also receive the intrinsic value price for the underlying assets of the portfolio when selling. Frozen cons of open end funds. Both open and close end funds are run by portfolio managers with the help of analysts. Both types of funds mitigate securities specific risk by holding diversified investments and by having lower investment and operating costs due to the pooling of investor funds. That's going to be the general idea here. We've got many people kind of investing. They're able to pool the money together. Although, of course, you do need a manager and analyst in order to take that pooled money and manage the fund, the degree of management in terms of what they're going to actually invest in could vary depending on the type of funds you are purchasing. For example, you might be purchasing more like index type of funds, which would limit the management to try to invest in accordance with say an index, for example. Or you might give the manager or tie the manager to a specific sector or something like that. Or give them more more leeway depending on your viewpoint of the management strategy and how much you want to pay for that. So an open end fund has unlimited shares issued by the fund and received an NAV net asset value at the end of the trading day. Investors who trade during a business day must wait until the end of the trading to realize any gain or losses from the open end fund. Also, open end funds must maintain large cash reserves as a portion of their portfolio. They do this in case they need to meet shareholder redemptions. So that's kind of a down point, you would think, to some degree, because they have to hold on to the cash reserves in order to pay out. And the whole point is that you're putting their money into the fund for them to invest the fund and generate revenue. Although having some money in cash might not be bad depending on your portfolio, how you're balancing your portfolio in any case either. So since these funds must be kept in reserve and not invested, the yields to open end funds are usually lower. Open end funds typically provide more security, whereas closed end funds often provide a bigger return. Because management must continually adjust holding to meet investor demand, the management fees for these funds usually are higher than other funds. Open end funds, investors enjoy greater flexibility in buying and selling shares since the sponsoring fund family always makes a market in them. So what are the pros? Hold diversified portfolios, lessening risks. That's the general idea of say kind of a mutual fund, smaller amounts of investment so that you can invest and have a diversified portfolio even with that smaller investment. Offer professional money management. So again, that would be dependent on how much management you want to pay for. So you might try to restrict the management, say invest in like more index funds or something or some sector, for example, or you might give the manager more leeway. But no matter what you do, they got to of course manage the fund. There's going to be fees related to that as well. Are highly liquid, so you could sell the funds generally if you need to. Although if they're under the umbrella of an IRA or 401K plan or retirement plan of any kind, typically, or most kinds, then or normal retirement plans, then you might be restricted in terms of when you could pull the money out. Require low investment minimums. So to start off the fund, you don't need a whole lot to start off the fund generally to get going. So what are the cons? Are priced just once a day so you can't be trading them like stocks on a day-by-day basis? Probably not a concern for many long-term investors, but could be an issue for some investors. Must maintain high cash reserves so you can think of that as a downside because they're not generating revenue on those cash reserves. Although in your portfolio in general, you want some cash in any case, so you got to just take that into consideration. Charge high fees and expenses if actively managed. So active management means you're going to give more leeway to the management to make decisions. You might try to restrict the management by having them invest in index funds or something like that, which means you will lower the fees typically to manage the portfolio just to do the management process, but they're going to try to tie it to indexes, for example, which are kind of like averages of the market. Post lower yields than close-end funds. So real-world example of an open-end fund. Fidelity Magalind Fund, one of the investment company's earliest open-end funds, aimed at capital appreciation. It was funded in 1963 and during the late 1970s and 1980s, it became a legend for regularly beating the stock market, so that's great. So it was outperforming. As of June 2021, it had a lifetime return of 16.14%. Its portfolio manager, Peter Lynch, was close to a household name. The fund became so popular with assets hitting US $100 billion that in 1997, Fidelity closed the fund to new investors for nearly a decade. It reopened in 2008.


This image of supernova remnant 0509-67.5 was made by combining data from two of NASA's great observatories, Hubble and the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The results show soft green-blue hues of heated material from the X-ray data surrounded by the glowing pink optical shell, which shows the ambient gas being shocked by the expanding blast wave from the supernova.


Hi and welcome to the session. Let us understand the following question today. Determine whether the following relation is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. Given to us is relation r and the set Z of all integers defined as r is equal to x, y such that x minus y is an integer. Now let's proceed with the solution. Given to us is r is equal to x, y such that x minus y is an integer. It is a relation in the set of integers. Let's check for reflexivity. Now, x minus x is equal to 0 for all x belongs to Z and 0 is an integer. Therefore, r is reflexive. Let's check the symmetric property of the relation. Let x, y belongs to r, then x minus y is an integer. Now, minus of x minus y is also an integer. That is, y minus x is an integer. This implies y comma x belongs to r. Therefore, r is symmetric on Z. Let us see now for transitivity. Let x comma y belongs to r and y comma z belongs to r. Which implies x minus y is an integer. They are relation defined and y minus z is an integer. Similarly, by the relation defined. Now we know some of the two integers is also an integer. Therefore, x minus y plus y minus z is equal to x minus z is an integer. Therefore, x comma z belongs to r. And hence, r is transitive. Therefore, we can see that r is reflexive, r is symmetric and r is transitive. Therefore, the required answer is reflexive, symmetric and transitive. If you have understood the question, buy and have a nice day.


Managing a piece of land to provide many benefits requires careful thought about objectives. Fact is you're not really managing the land, you're managing that plant community. When you give land managers a good plant community objective, they will quickly identify the tools to achieve that objective. One important and very powerful tool is grazing. It is cost effective and good managers can achieve nearly any plant community objective. It's a multi-purpose tool which you can apply at different times, at different intensity, with different animals that have different preferences and habits. By manipulating these grazing variables, you can guide a plant community to become what it is that you wish. For example, you may want great sage grouse brood-rearing areas. An important food source for chicks are little succulent forbs. Land managers would have their animals heavily graze these areas in the late spring and early summer, and this would open opportunities for those little weeds to grow. While there isn't any formula to tell you how to do this, it's an art as much as a science. The key is in knowing where you want to go with the plant community and understanding that plants will respond to your attention.
