Hey everyone welcome to this week's video update today is Friday, February 28th. What a week Just looking at the S&P Obviously trading around 2885 right now down S&P's down over 90 at this point. We've still got about eight minutes left in the cash market But a couple things I wanted to mention one We did a live stream right before the market as the market was opening this morning So if you haven't had a chance to check that out, just go to navigation trading comm slash live dash Streaming and that recording is still up. We've posted in the community as well. Go check that out we talked about just the markets overall kind of our Strategy for going forward and we talked about the the VIX bunker trade and kind of the ramifications of what happened there so I'm gonna It was about a 45 minute video So I don't want to repeat a ton of that so please go back and watch that for more insight on those topics But do you want to touch on just a couple things? one What's the what's the expected move for for next week? So for a seven-day expected move We're looking at about a plus or minus 220 point move in the SPX. So, you know, that brings us. Let's see. We're trading at 28 84 So, you know, that's gonna on the upside bring us to about right there on the downside down to about right in this area so Big big moves obviously and that that's what happens when this implied volatility expands You get these wider wider ranges which allows you when you sell premium to obviously create a wider range as well. So Keep that in mind. I mean you you know in the in a time like this I I want to reiterate you've got to keep your position size Small make sure that you're not over allocating. You've got to be prudent in that like we talk about all the time the other thing I wanted to point out is if we just look at the the year-to-date of SPX so year-to-date we are down 11 and a half percent now That's a that's obviously a sizable move down We talked about this is the quickest 10 percent down move that we've ever seen in the market So, you know, obviously, this is not normal no matter how much short Delta you had You know, it wasn't enough in a situation like this. So Keep that in mind. This is this is a very very Significant move historically So if you know if you're feeling the pain trust me everyone is and and it's just it's it's it is what it is I mean, you've got to you've got to be prepared for this But you can never be prepared for this if that makes sense And so, you know, but what I wanted to point out as far as the year-to-date is okay We're down 11 percent But when it comes to, you know, significant market corrections a correction is Technically considered a 10 percent off the top. Okay, we're we're significantly off that we're up four. We're down 11 So we're down 15 percent off of all-time highs So there's a couple ways to look at that obviously it's happened fast. It's happened hard And so a couple ways to look at that is okay, we're due for a bounce, right? And and so be down 15 percent. Do we get a do we get a bounce into early next week or? Does this does this slide continue now? 15% is a significant move. Don't get me wrong But at the same time and we've seen the market drop from from highs 20 30 40 percent And so you want to keep all of that in perspective as well when you're managing your positions And so obviously nobody knows what's going to happen, but we're going to continue to manage our positions stay methodical Make the necessary adjustments that we need to and and and battle through this now We've we've seen big moves before we've we've lived to trade another day and that is the key You've got to keep your position size small enough You know if you're in a position where you're getting margin calls and you're you know having to take off positions And you're not able to battle back on those because you don't have the liquidity because you don't have the capital Then then that obviously can hurt and so you want to make sure that you are position sizing Don't don't try to don't try to guess where the market's going to go Just continue to stay methodical and and gradually build back to to where you need to be and We want to you know once this thing settles down what you'll find is after a after a market settles down after big sell-off that is one of the best times to Those what we found is those are some of the most profitable times Okay, so I don't want you to get hit on the downside and miss out on the profits You've got to keep your position size small so that you can Withstand so you can weather the storm and then still be able to profit when things do kind of calm down where we still have extreme Extremely high implied volatility, but you're not getting these you know moves that you know hundred hundred fifty point ranges Every single day in the market. You know if we look if we if we go down into a smaller time frame looking at a This is just a two-day five minute. So each one of these bars represents five minutes I mean look at the ranges on these you know in in just these in these time frames I mean this is one five minute bar and we're talking about from 29 40 to 2910 I mean that's a 30 point move in the S&P in just five minute period So you know this this wolf calm down, you know I know you know when the market's grinding higher forever, and we're just we're wishing for that implied volatility You know it seems like that's never gonna end It seems like it's gonna go up forever and then on the flip side like this when it's going down It's only been a week a little over a week But it feels like forever right and so you've you've just got a you've got to play You've got to continue to play the probabilities and you've got to continue to remember that nothing goes in one direction forever But you've got to stay small enough to allow those probabilities to play out and to benefit from that So let's go through the alerts We had quite a few alerts obviously this week with everything going on with adjustments and Taking off trades and adding new trades. So let's go ahead and jump right in to to recap these so First trade closing trade in Amazon. We closed out our an iron duck price Obviously move lower exceeded our exit profit. So we we bailed on that one Same thing on Google. We had an iron duck there price move lower exceeding our exit point. We bailed on that one Closing adjusting trade in GC. So we closed out the put vertical side of an iron condor in gold Price had breached our upper break even there's very little value left in that put vertical So we closed that and then still holding our call vertical side now. We're still holding that so let's take a look at gold and What's and interestingly before I before I go to that actual trade? I mean look at gold another thing. I wanted to mention is it's down over three and a half percent today Now a lot of people think that gold is good is kind of that flight to quality and it moves inversely to stocks and we did see that In this stretch here, but now even with the s&p down 60 points gold is down over three and a half percent And so gold is actually a very uncorrelated asset. It's not it's not significantly Inverse correlated to stocks and and that's what we're seeing today where You know the stocks are down as well as gold is down big and so what did that do to our trade? Well, it brought us right back into range And so we're actually profitable on this iron condor overall remember we closed out the put vertical for next to nothing Now prices come all the way back and we're gonna be able to close this one out I'm gonna leave it over the weekend. Obviously if we get a huge spike higher. I'm gonna wish we had closed it But you know if we get a little bit more down movement, we'll go ahead and close this out and book a nice profit overall The other thing that we did just kind of jump in ahead to the another gold alert that we did today Is we added another centered iron condor? We're talking about one contract at the selling at the 20 Delta a $450 max profit on On just one contract here So you can see prices moved down even since we put this on hanging out right here So we're just in waiting mode in gold and again, I only did one one contract You know other times I may have done a couple but you know with everything that's going on with a velocity of moves going on We're just gonna stay real small just doing one contract here But still getting a really nice credit of 450 on that gold trade Next trade rolling adjusting trade in Apple. So some of these short Delta positions You'll see a theme here where we're rolling down these strikes in this case We're out in March We rolled out to April and then rolled our strikes down Closer to price and when we roll these whether it's a short call vertical or a long put vertical What we're doing is we are we're typically when we when we roll these we set it up so that our strikes are giving us about a 60% probability of profit now you can see Prices moved down significantly We're over 50% of max profit on this piece and we're at a probability of over 74% So in and typically what we talk about is okay once we get to about 50% of max profit Then we then we would roll again, but the way things are just moving in huge droves We're giving this a little bit more leeway in other words We don't we don't want to roll down and then we get this whipsaw action where that where the stock spikes back up So we're just letting this sit over the weekend, you know if we do if we do get a move back up We will be looking to add some more short Delta Not necessarily an apple but in indifferent will probably stick more to the broad market indices that we already have positions on DIA Yes, we may add to Apple. We'll see where we're at with everything But just holding this over the weekend to see where we where we shake out early next week So that's our position in Apple Next one opening trade in SPX. So we opened up an iron duck this one with 14 days to expiration And I'll go to SPX because we had we had several trades here. I'll go to the platform here in a second Next trade opening adjusting trade in SPY. So we opened up an iron condor in SPY and With that with the down move that we've seen since we opened that we are outside of range And I talked about this a little bit in the the morning video, but You know, we're outside the range and we've we've got if we look at the just the call side We've got just a little bit of premium left in that so, you know You certainly could have taken that off today closed out that untested side But again, we're just gonna we're just gonna hold this over the weekend Obviously if it moves lower, we'll take that off and look for a potential bounce but for now We're just we're just leaving this on and obviously if we get a bounce we'll be back into range Or if we continue lower, we'll take off that untested side and then hopefully look for a potential bounce Later early next week, so we'll see what happens there Next trade closing trade in SPX. So we had an iron duck on with SPX with the down move We hit our exit point. We closed out of that one Closing trade in Roku same thing. We had an iron duck in Roku This one actually did bounce after the fact. Let's take a look at a chart of Roku It's acting a little bit different than the rest of the market, you know Not as not as much of a slide, but we're still at our exit point. So we needed to exit What we will look at potentially if we do get some bounce next week is there's stocks like Shopify and Roku that are That still will set up for reverse iron ducks And so I don't want to put one on down here and then it and then get ripped Ripped off to the to the upside and have to exit that but if we do get a bounce higher You know, we might potentially look for some reverse ducks with which gives us that no risk to the downside On those trades too. So we'll be we'll be mixing it up and in continuing to add positions like that as well Next trade closing adjusting trade in GC. So we closed out our short call vertical from our previous iron condor Excuse me. This one just had one days to expiration So we needed to exit and then I already showed you what we're what we're still holding in gold that other short call vertical As well as that iron condor Next trade rolling adjusting trade in SPY So we had a short call vertical on from a previous iron condor We rolled that from March out to April and we rolled those strikes down just like we talked about We were well over 50% of max more like 80% at that point and so we went ahead and rolled that And then on a later alert, I'll show you we we actually ended up just closing that out because we as the market continued lower We got a significant drop booked more profit on that piece And so we went ahead and just got out of that to to lighten up our Delta's a little bit And I'll talk about that here in a minute Next trade rolling adjusting trade in DIA. So With this one, we were already in the cycle with 52 days to expiration So we didn't want to roll out to a further dated longer than 52 days And so what we did is we just rolled our strikes down and stayed in that 52 day cycle I got a question about this in the in the community because you know, typically when we're rolling like in this case in spy we rolled from March to April and When you do that toss displays it as a vertical roll because that's what we're doing in in the case when you're staying in the Same cycle toss is gonna display it as it's condor not iron condor But it's condor because because of the way the the legs are bought and sold. That's that's what that's what is considered So that's what toss displays it And so just want to make sure you understood that and so we rolled that down from the 297 302 down to 281 286 and so let's just go ahead and take a look at DIA And Take a look here. So here's the remaining short call vertical that we have on here again We're over 50% of max on this one But again just kind of giving it a little bit more time see what happens early next week and and then we will either again We're in April at this point on Friday now. We've got 49 days to expiration So we're not gonna roll out to May with 77 We'll stay in April and we'll just simply roll these strikes closer collect that credit and continue to keep that short Delta And again, if we get a spike higher in stocks, then we will look to potentially add our other You know short call vertical back in here I will also be looking to sell some additional premium whether that's iron condors or strangles but again, we're gonna stay super small and And and keep those keep those positions small and manageable and look at this I mean we've we've got two minutes left in the bell and we're you know, we're down What was it 60 some when we started and now we're down only 36, so I mean these are just massive moves we're seeing here Next trade Opening adjusting trade so we added a short strangle in bonds bonds have obviously been in fire on fire to the upside We added this with 59 days to expiration still holding our other adjusted strangle with 31 days And so let's take a look at that So we've got these two pieces on in bond So here's the one we just added price is still within range, but we're down because implied volatility has just expanded significantly In in in bonds the other piece that we have it's well out of range here That's the 161 straddle. You can see what we're way out here if we take a look at the untested side we've got very little value left in those puts and so just again wanted to give it over the weekend obviously if we get a Bounce lower that's going to be helpful for that position But either way most likely we'll be rolling our puts down and go inverted in that in that bond Straddle so that one's got 28 so You know, this is kind of a little bit of a gray area as far as what we like to do But you know with on Monday will be down to about 25 days to expiration So to me that's that's close enough getting down to that 21 day area that will probably when we roll those puts up We will also roll that out into May So both of our positions will then be in May, which at this time have that 56 days until expiration Next trade opening adjusting trade in ES. So this is where we earlier We added a long put vertical in ES. So we're adding to our short Delta and we did that on 225 so let's just go to the chart for some reference here So on 225, which is this day here So in the what would happen is we that was that that was much so Monday We had the big down day on Tuesday. There's the closing bell on Tuesday in the morning We got a little bit of a bounce higher, okay And I've mentioned in the community if we open higher if we bounce higher I'd be looking to add some short Delta So up in this area here, which is just happened to be great timing We added another long put vertical For that and we got we got the benefit of that flushed down on that piece And so that was that one that we added there Next trade rolling adjusting trade in XLK another short Delta position rolled this from March out to April I just did our strikes down. So if we take a look at XLK We're now in a position where we could potentially roll this one again Although XLK along with the Nasdaq is actually green on the day Let's look at the futures Yeah, Nasdaq is actually green at Nasdaq is actually up an S&P's up. Look at that move But we were down 36 now we're up seven Whoo crazy moves So XLK So you can see we're sitting right here and again if we continue to get a bounce higher We might this may be one that we potentially add to if we continue lower We'll roll these strikes down and stay in April Next trade opening trade in rut So we up opened up a new iron duck in rut this one moved down far enough today We ended up closing that one out it hit our exit point. So we went ahead and bailed on that I talked about this in the morning video too. We will continue to add iron ducks In SPX and rut in these big indices. I was looking to potentially do Another one today, but decided to hold off and wait until early next week on that So we will so we don't have any trades on in rut at this point Next trade rolling adjusting trade in DIA So this is that another short call vertical that we rolled from March out to April. So already showed that Closing trade in SPX. So we bailed on another one of our SPX ducks that hit our exit point Rolling adjusting trade in QQQ again This is as it displays here a condor because we stayed in that same cycle with 51 days just rolled down our strikes And let's take a look at the cues. I don't think I've touched on them yet So we've just got this one in April and again kind of sitting right here same story We get a bounce. Well, we might add to this if it continues lower We'll roll done roll down those strikes and stay in April Opening trade in Ford slash 6e. So we were looking for another kind of diversified underlying to add some premium to 6e fit that bill Fit that bill. So if we look at at 6e, you can see prices moved up higher in 6e since we put this on implied volatility It has expanded and so we will we're gonna be very careful about adding to these positions Now, this is a pretty small as far as futures going. We've got a max profit of 462 And so, you know, this one may be one that we potentially add to if it if it bolts out of our range But more than likely we'll just roll up the untested side and continue to manage these trades to keep our position size small Next trade rolling adjusting trade in IWM another short delta position So we just rolled this one stayed in that same cycle with 51 days just rolled our strikes down So if we take a look at IWM a lot of these look very similar prices hanging out right here So we got some profit on that piece and we will potentially either add to or roll this position Next week depending on which way things go Next trade closing adjusting trade in ES so we had two two of those long put verticals in ES We were over fit 80% of max profit on that piece So we went ahead and just close that out to lighten up our as I mentioned We lightened up our short delta a little bit and we'll reload if we get a bounce higher Closing trade in SPX. So this was another iron duck in XP SPX that we bailed on Opening trade. So we opened up another iron duck in SPX and we've still got this one on And if we take a look here So price is hanging out right here just inside the duck head. So we're in good shape at this point Of course things can change very quickly obviously Let me get back to that Yeah, so price is hanging out right here right inside that duck head. So we got all the way down to 2803 which is down here. So we would hit new lows if we get to that break even on SPX Next trade closing adjusting trade in spy already mentioned this so we had that short call vertical We went ahead and close that out and we're still holding that full iron condor Opening adjusting trade in SMH. So again, just kind of jumping in adding a little bit more short premium I already showed you that one. We've got that short strangle in SMH. We've got those actually I don't think I did touch on that one. So SMH. We've got two pieces on here We've got our adjusted short strangle and you can see prices hanging out right here And then our other strangle that we have not adjusted is this one here We can see prices dead centered, but we are down a little bit just because all about implied volatility expansion And when things when when options expand like that, even if you're dead centered You can you can still be down a little bit on the trade So we're just going to continue to wait now if if we get an implied volatility contraction next week You're going to see premium sucked out of these like like probably like you haven't seen before You know implied volatility is going to still be high relative overall But on some of these positions if you add Add some short premium And your timing and your kind of direction happens to to work out I mean you're going to see these the premium get sucked out of these options real real quick Or if they come up with a cure for the corona virus or you know something something crazy happens where they Where it kind of lessens the overall uncertainty in the markets Then you're going to see you're going to see some premium get get sucked out of these things Closing adjusting trade in DIA already mentioned that so we closed one set of those still have the remaining one just again Like I said lightening up on our short delta there Rolling adjusting trade in ES. So this is that ES long put vertical that we went ahead and rolled this from 35 days out to 49 And then rolled those strikes down to to accommodate price moving lower Rolling adjusting trade in SMH. So that was the adjusted strangle. I just showed you so we were down to 21 days So and it was and we had very little value left in the left in the call side So we went ahead and rolled that not only our calls down, but we rolled that from 21 days out to 49 And then we opened up a short call vertical in VXX So this is what we talk about in the in the VIX course of when you get these spikes putting on some short call Verticals in VXX. So that's what we did here now. This did add a little bit of long Delta But you can see it's it's come in nicely from where we put it on And so just looking at the chart of VXX, you know, we put it on when price was up here And it did contract here with the market going higher. I mean look at this S&P's up 25 to end the day And so that's that's we got the benefit of that here with this little bit of a down move in VXX So overall speaking of short Delta just want to give you a kind of an idea where we're at overall, you know we we lightened up some of our short Delta and And so now where we sit is we actually have a little bit of long Delta overall in our portfolio not too much But we do have a little bit of long Delta So a bounce would definitely be helpful in this case and then if we could you know in a perfect world Let's go that yes In a perfect world, you know, we get a we get more of a bounce in the next week We reload add some more short Delta and then you know, then we would get that continuation to the downside now nothing ever works out perfect and we're not trying to catch bottoms and tops or anything like that but You know when we when we lighten up our short some of those short Delta trades I think you know the market was about right here and obviously we wish we had to held it longer But then it it has reversed and so you know, we'll look to potentially add some more short Delta as we as we move along here Next trade closing trade in rut. So that's that iron duck. I mentioned Rolling adjusting trade in CL. So we've got our short strangle in CL still with 48 days to expiration So we did not roll out in time. We just rolled down our calls. So we had the We had the 58 and a half calls and we rolled those down to 47 and a half Our puts are at 47 and a half as well. So now we've got a short straddle in CL So if you take a look at the way that that looks Obviously, it looks a little goofy because it doesn't take any consideration the credit that we got on those calls But we are inside the range here and I just waiting for some more time to pass And then we'll eventually when we get down to about 21 days to expiration in this May cycle Then we will roll that out to the next cycle, which will have 40 to 50 some days in it And so that's where we're at in oil Lastly opening adjusting trade in GC So that's where I showed you we added that iron condor in Gold out here with 50 50 some days to expiration. So still just kind of hanging out pretty centered there So those are all of the alerts. Let's see if I missed any positions here that we didn't touch Wheat we've got this iron condor grains have not really moved that much So price is still hanging out right here inside of our range Apple I mentioned that one. We've got that short call excuse me long put vertical DE we've got a Short call vertical here You remember after earnings this one spiked up out of our range has come all the way back down into range here So just continue to manage that mentioned DIA IWM QS SMH SPX SPY VIX I'll come back to that VXX X BI so this is one that this one is in March has 21 days and it's out of range Given it a little bit more time just to you know in case we do get a little of a bounce We did you know closed up 1.84 percent today But if we look at the the value in those calls, you know, we still have full value in those calls So I wasn't I wasn't excited to adjust that one already. However, we are down to 21 days to expiration So certainly could have done that today. We're just going to give it over the weekend See if we can get a little bit more back towards the center And then we will roll this entire spread out to April which at that point will have about 46 days on Monday And then I mentioned XLK so VIX again, I don't want to Beat a dead horse on this one. We talked about this a lot in this morning in the morning's Update, but if you look at this, I mean, you know, well first thing I do want to just touch on it briefly just because it is such a frustrating thing, you know If you look at okay, the VIX is the VIX spot index is trading at call it 40 39.9, right? Oops 39.9 But look at the look at the VIX futures because the VIX options are tied to the VIX futures Even the short-term ones with five days left are trading at less than that They're only trading at 35 and then if you go out to June, which is what we have They're only trading at 20, you know, so Basically market saying, you know, okay, there's fear. There's uncertainty in the short term But out in June we got got basically no fear And so obviously with our June options, they did not expand the way that we way that we wanted them to if you go back to the Go back to VIX on the trade tab and talked about this this morning I mean we you know these five that we sold we sold for 281 and they're trading at 550 But the ones we bought at a buck 15 or only trading for 225 And so that's why we're we're seeing not only not even a profit on these things But we're actually down on them a little bit. I am going to hold on to this primarily because I want to see What when we get an implied volatility contraction if we do, you know If if we get down to 60 days to expiration, we're just gonna bail on this But I do want to hold this for a little bit longer just to just to watch it in kind of real-time and update you all We're we're not doing any more of these. That's I mean, that's pretty obvious. We've talked about that as well These you know using the VIX from this protection standpoint is is is not does not work in a situation like this I mentioned it has worked in the past we had these on for that February 2018 situation It did work, but this go around for whatever reason the way that they're pricing, especially these longer term VIX options It's not it's not doing what we want it to do So we will be we will be coming out with A different kind of alternative to that bunker And we've already been putting some of these on even with the market already down as much as it is And it's it's working like it should and it's essentially the A similar trade using a back ratio on the put side in SPY or an index like that and it is working So we'll have more details about that coming out and And and so stay tuned for that but this this current bunker strategy using the VIX is dead We're not we're not we're not going to be using this anymore So Having said all of that um I want to see if there's anything else. I want to mention bonds. So I talked about our bond position, but Bonds obviously have an inverse relation to interest rates and and as a kind of a flight to quality with stocks If people are nervous about stocks they pile into Whoops, they pile into bonds and and we're seeing that escalation here if we look at You know one thing you can look at it's not Direct inverse correlation, but it's you know zb's closer to the 30. It's called the 30 year um But the if you look at t and x for example, that's the ticker that shows the 10 year treasury And so like I said interest rates have an inverse correlation So I mean look at what interest rates have done and just today just a huge drop in interest rates And so you're going to be hearing a lot about that in the media as far as What that means and if you look at this it says 11.27 is the price But you think of that as really as 1.127 Is the interest rate on the 10 year and so we're going to be looking at some yield curve inversions if you've heard that term But don't quite understand what that means essentially the most common one that that's looked at is the the difference between the 2 and the 10 You know, so basically, you know the two year if the two year is paying higher than 1.127 Then then that's considered an inverted yield curve because typically if you're taking the duration of a 10 year note You should be getting more yield than you would on a two year But in this case the two year is paying a higher yield than the 10 year and and I haven't looked at the two year I'm not sure if that's the case yet, but You know most likely we will be seeing this and then we could potentially see the fed come out and try to lower interest rates Because what they essentially really the only thing that they control is those really short term one month two month three month type interest rate durations And so if they come out and start lowering those You know then then you get that Yielding inversion and and that has been a predecessor to a lot of recessions now The media is going to jump all over that and any time there's a yield curve inversion You know, they're they're going to start spouting that the recession is coming Keep in mind all these you know some of these terms that especially the media uses You know recession correction, you know, what does that all mean? Well Essentially a correction is kind of considered a 10% decline, right? We are in a correction We have seen the correction a recession is considered a 20% drop And so, you know, you you want to you want to look at those from really what they are Those are things in hindsight, right? We're after we've been down 10% that's when we've made a correction After we've been down 20% that means we have That means we have been in the recession So keep that in mind when you're when you're reading headlines and you're hearing the media talk about oh, we're in a recession though You know things are still pretty good. Now that doesn't mean they're going to continue, right? I mean this if these a lot of these companies continue to be shut down from the coronavirus and and profits and revenues and that kind of spirals into other industries and other places, you know that Certainly could but but the economy overall is is still very strong. An employment is very low, you know with interest rates being low There's a lot of cheap money for businesses to borrow and expand and do different things So don't get too caught up in the headlines that you read When you're trading the way that we do You still have to be more focused on probabilities and strategy Over news and headlines. Okay, so keep that in mind everybody have an excellent weekend and Make sure your position size are small enough so you can sleep this weekend Don't be in a position where you're nervous and waiting You know and just waiting for the market to open because you are nervous about what's going on But have a great weekend. We'll talk to you next week


This hurts the narcissist More than anything That's what we're going to be talking about in this video Now I'm sure when you saw the title You may have come up with a few Ideas of what it is that hurts the narcissist More than anything But I believe that there is one thing that hurts them more than anything else And when you look at the top things They hurt a narcissist It really all comes down to one thing about one thing Is rejection when you reject the narcissist when you dismiss them When you refuse that advances When you reject their proposal idea That is something They cannot deal with That is something that hurts them Because they want to be accepted They want attention Validation and aberration And if you don't willingly give that to them It will cause a narcissistic injury And they will get very angry because when you reject them It triggers their inferiority complex They begin to feel like they are beneath you And like you are better than them It triggers their shame They begin to feel bad about themselves As we know there's only a small window of Self-reflection Self-awareness for a narcissist Before they deflect it onto you or someone else They attack you They try to take you down a peg They insult you They try to bring you down And the reason why they do that is because they can't deal with their shame They just can't accept Rejection They have to reframe it in some other sort of way Self-made Yes, I am available for YouTube coaching Where we can talk on a call and I can help you to build your own successful YouTube channel So if that interests you, yes, send me an email It's coaching at marksurvivor.co.uk Just on a balcony here in my apartment. I like to just stand out here at night. Sometimes just admire this Amazing view, but yeah, this is it This is the one thing that hurts them more than anything and Many of you may be watching this and you may have other ideas of What may hurt them the most But when you look at it, it all comes back to rejection of some form Everything you do to them that hurts them is some form of rejection That's what they can't deal with And it's because they're so arrogant and entitled They believe that they are inherently deserving of your time And I'm sure you've seen them in public how they react to people when people don't Give them the attention They're looking for They're expecting and it could be at a restaurant Maybe They don't get the kind of Service that they expect from the waiter So then they lash out they get mad and it just seems completely irrational to you But the reason why is because they can't deal with rejection They just can't deal with that But of course, I mean None of us like rejection No one wants to feel and huge I mean, that's what we go through all the time anyway with narcissists. I Mean if there's one thing we all deal with with them it is rejection in every shape and form I Mean they rejects our ideas Our attempts to converse And then in the end we deal with the ultra rejection in the form of the discards but the way that we deal with it is More normal and healthy We self-love we look at ourselves and see If we can change will improve something But they don't do that and I've said it before this is the main difference between us This is really what separates us is that we tend to self-love and blame ourselves and Take accountability See if there's things that we can change about ourselves so we can be better Which is definitely the healthy way of dealing with things But they deflect every time They've got to blame someone else They never look at themselves to see if maybe they could be the problem And that is why they never change they never get better They stay the same But yeah, that's just it. I guess you could say that When it comes down to it what hurts them more than anything is their own disorder Their own mental illness That is what hurts them more than anything else And that is what causes them to lash out. It's the way they're programmed but luckily for us Our pain makes us better It gives us strength For them it makes them weak Their pain only causes them more problems in life But for us It makes us greater Because we can learn from that They can't and I think that's really what makes us human because a lot of animals don't possess The power and ability to do that these narcissists Have an animal mind They're stuck in survival mode They're doing anything they can to survive but for us we are constantly learning and growing and Just trying to become the best version of ourselves instead of Tearing everyone else down So that we look bigger and greater Because that's what narcissists do I remember I read a quote before Just wait for that bike to go past. I know it's a bit loud Yeah, I just want to finish with this. I remember I read this quote before And it said You can build The tallest building in town And then of course that will be the tallest building or You can knock down all of the tall buildings And then your building will be the tallest and yeah, I think that's what narcissists do They tear everyone else down so it looks like They're the best they're superior but when we strive for our achievements and success When we strive for greatness we just Go and do it We don't try to tear anyone else down But that's what narcissists have to do. They have to cheat. They have to trick. They have to steal They have to do whatever they can to get to the top We don't have to do that We don't have to knock anyone else down Yeah, that's what narcissists have to do and they have this black weight mentality They see it like it's like a doggy dog world They have to get you before you get there They have to beat you to the punch I guess in a way that is their karma Because they're always so paranoid and hyperpigilant they're always scanning the environment for threats They can't just live naturally And that really is Best part about life Yeah, they're just always looking for ways to get ahead They're opportunists Always looking for ways to tear people down So that they can gain an advantage And that's just no way to live How can you live a good life and be at peace with yourself when you're constantly thinking of doing that? But that's just what these narcissists do They're never gonna change Of course because of that they're never gonna be happy Because happiness doesn't come from just constantly taking things from other people Happiness comes from within But I guess that's something they're never gonna learn They're never gonna be happy, they're never gonna be satisfied with anything in their lives And that's why you should just walk away, don't even waste your time with them Take whatever time, energy and money you're spending on them and give it to yourself Because you will be fulfilled with even a fraction of that Than they would be And that's all you really need to know That's all you really need to know Yeah, I'm just out here in my apartment on the balcony Just enjoying this view of the city What can I say? Life is good I'm enjoying every minute of it And I hope you are too If you're not then start finding ways to make progress so that you do Enjoy your life So that you do experience the happiness that you deserve If you're stuck, if you're going through anything Just remember I'm always here To talk, to find solutions And you can book a one-on-one with me anytime Through my website It's NarcSurvivor.uk If you prefer to work with a licensed therapist There is a service that I trust Go to betterhelp.com.narchsurvivor Please give this video a thumbs up It helps to support our community And check out my recent pictures and videos of my travels on my Instagram It's NarcSurvivor YouTube And you can also find some short videos on narcissistic abuse in there as well And some quotes So do check that out It's NarcSurvivor YouTube on Instagram As always, thank you all for joining me And I look forward to talking with you in another one very soon


Hi and welcome to the session. Today I will help you with the following question which says a statue 1.46 meter tall stands on the top of a pedestal. From a point on the ground the angle of elevation of the top of the statue is 60 degrees and from the same point the angle of elevation of the top of the pedestal is 45 degrees. Find the height of the pedestal. Use root 3 is equal to 1.73. Now before moving on to the solution let us recall view points. First of all for any angle theta tan theta is equal to perpendicular upon base second tan of 45 degrees is equal to 1 and tan of 60 degrees is equal to root 3. So in this question these three points will work as the key idea. Now let's see its solution. First of all let us make the required figure according to the given question. So here this is the required figure. This is the pedestal and the statue stands on the top of the pedestal which is 1.46 meter tall. Now here is the point on the ground same point P and from this point P on the ground the angle of elevation of the top of the statue is 60 degrees. So that means this angle is 60 degrees and the angle of elevation of the top of the pedestal is 45 degrees. So here this angle is 45 degrees and we need to find the height of the pedestal. So let us assume that the height of the pedestal be h meters. Now let us name this point as A this as B and this as C. So here P A is the distance between the point P on the ground and the bottom of the pedestal. So let us assume that it is times P A is x meters. Thus here we have A B as the height of the pedestal which we assumed to be h meters. B C is the height of the statue which is given to be 1.46 meters. P is the point on ground. Here angle B P A is the angle of elevation of the top of the pedestal which is equal to 45 degrees and angle C P A is the angle of elevation of the top of the statue which is given to be 60 degrees. And lastly we have assumed that the distance P A is equal to x meters. Now the angle between the pedestal and the ground is a right angle. So that means triangle B P A and triangle C P A are both right-angled triangles. So first of all consider the right triangle P A B so in right triangle P A B angle B P A is given to be 45 degrees and we know the tan theta is equal to perpendicular upon base. So let us take theta as 45 degrees. Thus we have tan 45 degrees is equal to perpendicular that is A B upon base that is P A. Now A B is equal to h and P A is equal to x and we know the tan 45 degrees is 1 so we get 1 is equal to h upon x. So this implies x is equal to h. Now consider the right triangle C P A so in right triangle C P A here again angle C P A is given to be 60 degrees and tan theta is perpendicular upon base. So we have tan 60 degrees is equal to perpendicular C A upon base P A and here C A is equal to C B plus V A which will be equal to 1.46 plus h upon P A that is x and tan 60 degrees is equal to root 3 so we have root 3 is equal to 1.46 plus h upon x. Now we already got the relation that x is equal to h so here we will replace x by h so this implies root 3 is equal to 1.46 plus h upon h by cross multiplication we get root 3 h is equal to 1.46 plus h this implies root 3 h minus h will be equal to 1.46 that is taking h as common we will get h into root 3 minus 1 is equal to 1.46 this implies h is equal to 1.46 upon root 3 minus 1 now root 3 is given to be 1.73 so it will be equal to 1.46 upon 1.73 minus 1 that is 1.46 upon 0.73 which is equal to 2 thus the height of the pedestal that is h is equal to 2 meters therefore height of pedestal is equal to 2 meters and thus this is the required answer for this question with this we finish this session hope you must have understood the question goodbye take care and keep smiling


For today's makeup lesson, I want to show you how to create three different looks using the same technique but changing the color. I want to show you how subtle changes to just the color can change the color of your eyes. This purple, for instance, is bringing out that very slight green in my eyes, making it pop a little bit more because of the contrast, whereas this green tone matches the green in my eyes, which is actually bringing out the green and the warm browns in my eyes. Of course, blue is a great one for brightening up the whites of your eyes, making any eye color pop that little bit more, but especially for the brown tones. All of these looks are really easy to create, and I'm sure that you'll find one that will work for you. But before we get into all of that, if you're new here to the Makeup Chair channel and you enjoy tutorials like this, then I might suggest hitting the subscribe button below. It's totally free, and if you're already subscribed, then thank you and welcome back. Now let's get started. The first step in creating any eye makeup look is to prime the eyelids. This is like priming any surface before you paint it. It creates a smooth surface that is prepared for makeup, which is very important when using colors because some people are more prone to staining, and an eyeshadow primer will create a barrier to prevent that, while also creating a blank canvas force to work on so that the colors will show up more for you. And for this purple look, we're going to start off with a purple eyeliner. Now if you don't have the steadiest hand, you can fold your pinky or lay it flat on your cheek, and this will just give you a little bit more stability. And I always like to start in the center of the lid, right at the lash line, and then I simply join the outer edge to the center and the inner corner to the center. I find this so much easier than trying to attempt a solid line all the way across, which just is a little bit too tricky for me. I would also recommend doing one eye at a time so that the liner doesn't have time to set, because what we want to do is to smudge this with eyeshadow. So I'm going to be taking a deep purple eyeshadow on a flat brush. You can start off with a deep liner and a medium eyeshadow if you want as well. But what you want to do is to press and smudge this right at the lash line, doing this little pressing and lifting motion to blend this upwards.  You want to work this up to about the halfway point of the lid. That's all I want to cover. I don't want to cover the full lid, just the halfway point. You're then going to take an eyeshadow at least one shade darker than your skin tone, or you can use your bronzer or your contour as long as they're matte and apply this with a fluffy brush. You're basically blending this above everything that we've already applied, working this into the crease of the eye. This is going to frame and shape the eyes similar to how your contour and your bronzer frame your face. This will also work for framing your eyes. For an extra step, I always like to add a matte fade shade. This is going to go around the edges of the contour and because we've been using purples, I like to use a matte pink. This will really complement the purple shade but also create more of a soft kind of blurry effect with our contour. I'm using the E10 by Blank Enfuse Cosmetics. Now this is my friend's brand, so I am a little bit biased. But you do need this brush in your life. I've been using this brush for like 10 plus years. It's still one of my favorite brushes. Then for a highlight, I'm going to be using the new Urban Decay Moondust. This was sent out to me. This has a slight pink tone with like a little bit of silver and I just love how it just brings this entire look together. Then simply apply your mascara and some lashes if you want to and there you go, a purple smokey eye. What I love about purple is that it works great on mature skin because it's brightening, but it's not harsh and it works on every eye color. It's also a great one. If you're tired of always applying neutrals, try adding a little bit of purple in there. It's so wearable, but it's like one step closer to a little bit of color. Moving on to green, there are so many shades of green out there and I picked a deep teal, which has the more of a blueish kind of tone. I feel like this works because I already have a little bit of this tone in my own eyes. So what you can do is use your eyes as a reference point. Try to find any green that's in there and then match that with the eyeshadow. Or if you have no green in your eyes, but you want to wear green, have a look at your wrists. This is a great way to tell what shade of green you want to apply, whether you want to apply more of an olive green or more of a bluey green. Have a look at your wrists and it will definitely compliment your eyes as well. Again, we want the first step to be applying eyeshadow primer. This is going to create a smooth surface while also giving the eyeshadow something to hold on to.  I just find it very soothing on the eyes and it also creates a very even base. For this look, we're starting off with a green liner. This is a little bit more of a blue green, but you can switch this up for whatever will work for you. When you actually compare it to a blue liner, you can see how much more green it is, but it's definitely a mixture between blue and green. And again, I'm using the same technique of starting in the middle and then joining it up rather than doing one solid line. Definitely let me know if you've tried this out and if it's worked for you, because I'd love to know. And remember, just do one eye at a time so that liner doesn't have time to set because we are going to be smudging this so you can go liner, then eyeshadow, then liner and then eyeshadow. You don't have to do one full eye completely. Just make sure that the liner and the eyeshadow are applied one at a time and you should end up with something that looks like this. I am taking a deep green eyeshadow on a flat brush next and you can start from above or you can press and smudge this across a lash line. And you can use your pinky for a little bit of support if you feel like your hands aren't very steady and you're basically doing a little smudging, pressing motion. Now I'm using a flat brush, but you can also use a pencil brush if you want to. Once you have covered the eyeliner with the eyeshadow, you can then start to smudge and blend this just using little back and forth motions as you work upwards covering about the halfway point of the lid. And then you should end up with something that looks like this. You're going to take that eyeshadow that's at least one shade darker than your skin tone and you can use your bronzer, your contour as well. Again, as long as they're matte and we're just going to sculpt and shape around the eyes using our blending brush. Take your time with this. You want to make sure that it complements your eye shape so you're following your natural curves and shapes of your eyes. And this is a very important step for hooded eyes in particular because it's just going to recede the hood so that the lid is showing a little bit more. I will be using a matte fade shade to go around the edges of the contour. And because we're using green, one thing that I like to do is use a matte mustard yellow. This is just going to complement the green while also adding more of an olivey tone to the rest of the eye. It's very subtle, but I feel like it makes such a difference. For highlight, I'm going to be using a metallic neutral just on the inner corner so you can use your face highlighter if you want to as well. This just adds that more neutral kind of earthy tone, which makes it a little bit more wearable.  And there you go. You have a green smokey eye. I also love this as a one step away from just using neutrals, but still keeping it quite earthy. So it's a great one if you are new to color. It also works on pretty much every eye color out there, as long as you're choosing the right shade of green. Moving on to blues, I have to admit, I am not a blue person. I don't really like blues on me, but I do find that it does brighten up the eyes. Again, we're going to start off with an eyeshadow primer. I find that blues stay my eyelids the most. Some people are just prone to certain shades staining their lids. And the eyeshadow primer is going to create a barrier to help with that. Once we prime the lids, I'm then going to start off with this electric blue eyeliner. And I couldn't find my favorite deep navy. So what I've opted for is applying this liner, which is like an electric blue, but then applying a dark, almost blue, black eyeshadow over the top. The two of them are going to mix really well together, but still add that nice blue tone. And I'm using a flat brush to press the deep blue, black eyeshadow over the top of this liner, making sure to smudge the two of them together. I remember how I said it's really important to do one eye at a time. You can really see it for this look in particular. You can see how the electric blue liner is mixing with the blue, black to create this bluey tone. If the eyeliner had time to set, we would be creating a very different look because they wouldn't be smudging together. You'd just be applying it over the top. So it's important to do one eye at a time because otherwise, you'll likely end up with two very different shades on your eyes. So just focus on the first two steps before moving on, doing it one eye at a time. And you should end up with something that looks like this. I am then taking that eyeshadow, at least one shade darker than your skin tone or using your bronze or your contour. And again, you're going to frame the eyes with this, blending this above everything that we've already applied, working this into the crease and slightly upwards to create some frame and some shape. And I will be using a matte fade shade again. But because we are using blue, I like to use peach. I just find peaches really bring out the blue tones. You could use yellow. You could even use pink. But I find that the peach is a great compromise between the two. For highlight, I'm going to be using another moon dust. This is a really pretty white glitter. And I feel like it just adds to that brightness that we're getting from the blue tones. Finish off with mascara and lashes. And there you go. You have an electric blue smoky eye that's kind of wearable. Maybe not as wearable for my taste, but still pretty wearable and a great step into trying out colors. Even if you're not sure if you like blue or any particular color, give it a try because you never know. I want to apologize if this video isn't my best work. My dog Pebbles, she's fine, but she had a stroke and it was very scary and it just happened. So I am on very little sleep, but between her medical bills and my own medical bills, because I had an accident and I have I have bruised ribs and it's hard to talk and it's hard to breathe, but we're getting there. But I just really wanted to get some videos out there. And I really hope that you still enjoyed this one. And as always, my friends, be kind to yourself, be kind to others. And I hope to see you in another one really soon, probably tomorrow because I got bills to pay. I'll see you soon.

Parental development in human, the second trimester, first the contents, second trimester, the major events of second trimester. The second trimester. Students, as you have said, the overall nine months of human development has come, three three months, they are divided into different steps. First three months are the first trimester and the second three months mean month number four, five and six, they are the second trimester. What are the events taking place here? So, we have the second trimester, if we look at it in the weeks, it goes from 14 weeks to 27 weeks. So, what are the events at this stage? Most of the argons, their formation rate starts from the first trimester. This starts in the first trimester. That is why, internationally as well, the abortion rule is that if the development embryo has passed three months, then you cannot abort it. What is the reason for that? The reason for that is that the young ones in three months have already been born. Their organs are almost ready to be born. Their organ development has already started and we call them fitters. So, now in the second trimester, the first trimester in which the development started, now that feeling will be complete. If we look at it in a sequence, we can take an overall week-wise general overview that when the 13 weeks are completed, the young ones before that will be the urination release and definitely in the fluid, the amniotic cavity will be the urination release. Similarly, in the first trimester, the bones will start to be formed. And the first week of the second trimester, the bone's ossification starts. What does ossification mean? That the bones will start to become hard. The bones that start are cut legion structures and then the ossification starts. So, when the 14 weeks start, the red blood cells formation will start in the 14 weeks. So, the formation of the red blood cells will start. The embryo will become sex-apparent. It will become clear about whether it is a doctor or a son. It will become clear. So, in the 14 weeks, this will become clear. On the 16 weeks, the eyes will start moving. This means that the eyes have become 16 weeks. Now, they are moving about. On the 17 weeks, the toes will start to become nails. The toes will start to become nails. Similarly, when the heartbeat starts, the first doctor who can feel it is a heartbeat. When there is a fetus, the heartbeat starts in the second trimester. So, when the 18 weeks start, this is the step to become young. It can hear. The ears can hear what the environment is doing. So, in the developmental process, it is said that the nutrition of the mother should be good. The environment should be peaceful. So, the developing embryo influences this. Ultimately, it is on the fetus. For example, on the 18 weeks, it starts to hear. It starts to reach the sound system. On the 20th week, at this stage, the embryo starts its movement. On the 20 weeks, what the embryo will do? The movement will go to the end of the 4 months. After 4 months, the developing fetus, the embryo will not say that it is called a fetus. So, what the fetus will do? The movement will start. The mother can feel its movement. So, a cycle of sleep will start. The young one who is in the uterus, on the fetus stage, the embryo will wake up and go to sleep. On the 21st week, the finger prints, on the 21st week, what the baby will do? The thumb or the finger that the embryo will do, it will start to suck. The finger will start to suck. On the 22st week, the embryo and the hair start to appear. The eyebrows, that is, the hair of the eyes, the eyebrows, and the hair that starts to appear. On the 23rd week, the finger prints appear. The finger prints can also appear. So, the finger prints of the toes start to appear. On the 26th week, the lungs develop. On the 26th week, the lungs have developed, but they have not yet started breathing. So, the organs in the 2nd trimester are almost done.


self-sufficiency of the restoration of the United States. The Philippines is human to the world. At Cancun, we made a new start for the more effective and practical dialogue and a group cooperation among industrial and developing countries. Your leadership in that area, Mr. President, is vital and bright and respected. Under your leadership, the home of the Philippines can bolster the record of that point with pride, the success of your rural education program, now bringing benefits to an increasing number of remote regions. And I find it a matter of personal satisfaction that your country and my home state remains the Philippines' leading creditor. And American firms are the largest foreign investors in your country, reflecting their confidence in your product in the industrialized world. America considers itself especially fortunate to have nearly one million persons of Filipino heritage now residing in our country. They bring people that chosen to live in the Philippines. Our security relationship is an essential element in maintaining peace in the region and is so recognized. This relationship, one of several we have in the West, is considered threatening to no one but the broad and hostile, which is the focus of our regional policies and publications. Mr. President, the United States has... Thank you very much, President Brigham. Mr. Brigham, it's a pleasure to be here. I would like to say that it was one of the few cities that was built as a capital for the great nation, knowing the secret of America. And these are the American people. And I'm going to tell you from here, that none of the parts of the center are more than that operating in the enterprise and the government of the Korean... Certainly is creating a new future for our world. The world's population lives. I come from the part of the world that carries an image of America with its ideals, its dreams, its illusions. We learn to love these ideals and principles. And we lost a million of our people fighting for them in the United States of America. I did not come to burden you further with additional problems, Mr. President. Second dark ages. And America cannot fail. And therefore, will the Filipino people strengthen both your heart and hand so that that hand may be strong on the lever of power and save our... The reservoir of goodwill for you, the American people, and the United States of America. Once again, may I say, thank you for your attention.


The Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening, should never have existed. Nobody at Nintendo had any plans of making a Zelda game for the Game Boy. While there had been a Zelda game and watch game, the expectation was that the series would remain on Nintendo's bright, colourful home consoles. Yet while nobody at Nintendo was all too interested in a Zelda Game Boy game, one programmer from a neighbouring company was engaged with his own secret project. This is the story of the Legend of Zelda, Link's Awakening, and the after-school club that changed a major Nintendo series forever. Work was wrapping up on the Legend of Zelda, a link to the past for the SNES. The game's development had been a little rocky, as the ambitious project had required more and more staff towards the end. Satoru Iwata described its creation and the development of many other Zelda games as an exercise in suffering. In an effort to get a link to the past finished, Nintendo contracted out some of the programming to a different company. SRG Co Ltd develops a range of computer programmes and has an office inside Nintendo's Kyoto headquarters, so they were a perfect choice to help finish up some of the technical elements of the struggling Zelda game. One worker, Kazuhaki Morita, was set to work programming the game, but he quickly found himself wondering what more could be done. There were a lot of ideas for a link to the past that simply couldn't be included in the game due to time constraints and other limitations. For example, the idea of combining bombs and arrows together to make projectile explosives. While most workers felt a sense of relief as a link to the past was finally finished, Kazuhaki wanted to do more. He managed to get hold of a development kit for the Nintendo Game Boy and, just for fun, started experimenting with it in his spare time. Long after everyone else had finished work and gone home, Kazuhaki would tinker with the development kit. His goal was to see if he could port a link to the past, or at least, elements of the game onto the Game Boy.  A few other developers joined Kazuhaki in what they later called the After School Club, as they worked to make their own unofficial Zelda fan game. The project was kept hidden from Nintendo's higher-ups for quite some time. Shigeru Miyamoto, who had been heavily involved with every aspect of a link to the past, had moved on to other projects, so he didn't pay that much attention to what the developers were doing for fun. Because the project was more of a fan game than something more serious, the After School Club began throwing in silly ideas from other Nintendo games. Why shouldn't Mario or Luigi appear in the game, or Yoshi, or even Kirby? The team would eventually go on to describe their Game Boy project as a parody of a real Zelda title. They relished the freedom of making something that wasn't tied down by corporate ideas of what a game should and shouldn't include. Ideas like letting the player take a chain chomp came from this experimentation. Why was it included in the game? Because it was funny. Where most Zelda games felt like a chore by midway through development, this game was only becoming more enjoyable, and many Nintendo employees wanted in on the fun. Eventually, the team revealed their fan game to their bosses, who gave them permission to keep working on it with plans to give it an official release. To aid with this, they were given additional resources in the form of a second Game Boy developer kit. Several new additions to the team suggested that Link's Awakening feature a more prominent narrative than had been present in previous Zelda games. Yoshiaki Koizumi had come up with some law for Hyrule when creating the game's instruction booklet. Because of this, his friends encouraged him to join their After School Club to add a story to their game. Takashi Tezuka, who had joined a link to the past partway through its development, was heavily inspired by the popular television show Twin Peaks. He wanted to make a surreal, dreamlike game, set in a small town populated by what he called suspicious characters, with bolder personalities than their counterparts in the previous Zelda games. These elements would carry forward into all future Zelda games, becoming some of the defining traits of the series. According to I.G. Ornuma, who would later become the overseer for all Zelda titles, I'm certain it was an important element in the series making a breakthrough. If we had proceeded from the Legend of Zelda, a link to the past, straight into the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, without the Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening in between, the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time would have been different. Link's Awakening ended up being a tight, enjoyable Zelda game that redefined what the series would be going forward. When the game was finished, rather than feeling burned out or tired by making two Zelda games back to back, its chief developers would remember it fondly, relishing the chance they'd had to make a game for fun, out of a genuine passion, rather than out of corporate mandate. Almost, Satoru Iwata would later suggest, as if they had awakened from a dream. The moral of the story is, have fun. Experiment. Try a new hobby. Do something different and let yourself relax. Kazawaki Morita began making Link's Awakening out of a genuine passion. The game developed as a quirky, offbeat title because he was having fun without worrying about what would be profitable to his company. Yes, Link's Awakening went on to become a successful commercial project, but that's not really what matters. What's important is that the after-school club were able to blow off steam, mess around, and make something they could be proud of that incorporated their interests. Whether for an afternoon or a year, why not try a similar project yourself? It'll do you the world of good.


Speaking of using our gas, I have been using iOS 16, the betas on my phone. And the other day, I was heading somewhere and asked it to get directions to somewhere in the middle. And it said, oh, yeah, do you want me to add a stop? And this is new. You could not previously do this with Apple Maps. And not only could you not do it with Apple Maps, you certainly couldn't do it with CarPlay and Siri. And it added the stop just fine. It worked great. So like you don't have to use Google Maps anymore if you want to do the multi-stop trips with like on the fly and all of that. The other thing I did, and I swear I've done, I've tried this in the past with with utter failure, we were coming home from somewhere and quite frankly, we needed to find a place to pee. And I said, because for the first time in my life last Saturday, I played a gig where there were no restrooms available at the venue. I won't get into the details. But yeah, yeah, like there's a first time for everything. I've been playing gigs for 35 years or something. Never had that happen before. So and we had like an hour and 15 ride home. So I was like, yeah, we're gonna have to like, this is going to be uncomfortable if we don't stop to pee. So, so, you know, and there was supposed to be some like Dunkin Donuts that wasn't open by the time we left. So I was like, well, let's find a McDonald's. Okay, great. And so I asked Siri, I said, find me McDonald's along our route. And she did and listed not only all of them and showed them on a map, but indicated the amount of time it would add to our journey, essentially what the detour would cost us to go to each of these places. And it was like, okay, well, this one's, you know, the closest one to you at the moment, but it's going to take you, it's going to add 10 minutes to your journey.  It's like, wow. Then of course, it turned out that the McDonald's we went to the lobby was closed because there was some sort of fire. It added far more time to our journey. It wasn't that wasn't Siri's fault, obviously. But it's like the improvements, the incremental improvements to maps in Iowa's 16 are stellar. So be on the lookout for that whenever you add Iowa's 16, if you're one of the beta people, great, if you're not, you know, it's coming. So yeah, it's come a long way from the days where the icon drove you off a bridge. Yeah, well, it's come a long way. I had given up on Apple Maps, as I think many of us had, like pretty much people that didn't live in the San Francisco Bay area found that Apple Maps was a disaster. And so we all used Waze or Google Maps even. But I think most of us just standardized on Waze. I certainly did. And then when I got my iPhone 12, I think I got a 12 pro and then went to the 12 mini, right? Because anyway, I'm stuck in the weeds here. I think they were they were released at different times. But anyway, whenever whichever 12 I got first, I decided I was going to do just a start from scratch kind of thing, you know, I'm not going to reinstall maps. I'm just going to start it fresh. It's been too long. And I decided I would only load the apps that I was going to use. I wasn't going to preemptively load anything on my phone. And that way I figured I would keep from, you know, crapping it up too quickly, which might have worked or it probably failed. But I realized after like six months, I'm like, you know what, I haven't put any other mapping app on I'm just using the built in Apple Maps. And that was, you know, a couple years ago, it's been fantastic. I'm really impressed with how how well Apple Maps works.
