So recently I realized that I lack education and this is not the first time that happened in my life. Actually I remember two specific cases. One of them was when I was still actually just after I finished high school. You may know that I keep repeating myself especially in this channel that for my entire life as much as I remember myself I always wanted to make a difference. I always wanted to inspire people and and to have a positive influence on them and I that always drove me but and that kind of drove me to try out different things early on and I guess now that I think of it I bumped into that factor of lacking education even earlier. I remember in my teenage years when I felt a bit lost and confused I kept reading books and I would try to kind of console people try to you know give them advice and I think that's a phenomena that I notice happens with a lot of people. I think it's a stage. It's where we want to make a difference so bad and we want to kind of live a meaningful life that we and many of us end up giving advice to others when we're not really in a suitable position to do that. Thus the lack of education. We don't really know what we're talking about. We're struggling ourselves but there's I think there's this kind of psychological phenomena that if I will help you and if I will give you an advice which will work that will mean that you know I know my thing or that I my life is meaningful and that will prove that I'm on the right path myself and I don't think that's how it works. During my late teenage years I would have numerous conversations with people and I would try to motivate them etc. which is you know crazy now that you look back at it we were both you know same-aged but I think some of the people were inspired now I had a chance to talk with some of them years later but what struck me at that day was that the people that were inspired by what I said they weren't inspired by something specific I said because I was pushing so hard you know I was really like trying to tell them the truth of the universe you know tell them what what would be best for them and I wasn't kind of pushy in terms of asking them to do what I asked them to do but but I really wanted to give them a useful advice and so I was really kind of thinking these high-level concepts ideas that I write in the book and I was kind of calculating which one would be useful to that person. Years later though I would meet those people and I learned from them that actually what inspired them they would they would tell me like oh man you inspired me so much so so well that day and I was like oh so which advice was it which advice what did I tell you like tell me so I would know what's the you know what's the secret sauce and always pretty much yeah pretty much always they would tell me that what inspired them was not what I said by like some quote or something it was something that I said even without realizing which is something which seemed casual to me or or some of some of the people were just inspired by my passion by my drive versus you know specific advice that I was giving and that kind of struck me and I realized man so all that pushiness doesn't help but the natural things that I said were the things which which I kind of figured out and applied in my life and I didn't even consider that to be advice I was just sharing you know what works for me and and or what I discovered for some hard efforts so it wasn't intentional even I don't even remember seeing that in most cases and that struck me where I realized that if I or that's kind of a hypothesis that if I want to really give something useful to people I have to not be like a fish in the sea and in that regard in that knowledge that it shouldn't be something that I'm trying to push or trying to you know really like make people believe in me but it's if I am ever to help people it's it's either for example just you know living a really inspiring life or it's either through knowledge that that to me is I spend so much time with that knowledge that it's it just becomes evident and and to me doesn't even seem special but it but it's something that is really of my own and when I realized that I kind of that's I think that's what pushed me to at that stage I wanted to become an Aikido instructor and I think that's what pushed me to devote myself to Aikido training even more I decided you know what I will actually I think there was that's where the first stage the first evidence stage came up and that was when I after high school I went to Switzerland for three months to do an intensive Aikido training course basically when I was living in Dojo training every day and I still had that day driven passionate mindset of wanting to help people and after those three months I felt like I gained so much that I for some reason I decided you know I'm ready to give some good stuff to people because I was so inspired I thought that's enough to to be useful to others and so I started to do some sessions and seminars and I think I will you know I might make a separate video expanding on that subject but basically eventually I realized no you know it's I don't really know enough I don't really have a great enough capacity to be able to to give something to those people and that's when I came to the realization I need to completely devote myself to at that moment my Aikido training learn everything as much as I can become so infused with all of it that my knowledge would become quote-unquote casual for myself that I would feel so natural at it and I would know so much that naturally people would benefit from what I know or what I do and in the Aikido regard I think I reached that stage to to big enough degree and that the proof was when I opened my dojo my Aikido dojo from the get-go I had so many members part that because I was just so inspired and passionate and I and I had such great confidence in me and I think that confidence in me was residing because I spent so much time learning and I knew more way more than most of the people even that I knew that I do do Aikido or I could have a one-on-one conversation with a high-level Aikido instructor without a problem so I really felt like I know what I know that gave me confidence I trusted also in my intentions and that passion definitely kind of shining through me and it was it was visible it was tangible and I think people caught on to it and the other side I think the knowledge was also the depth of my knowledge and skill set was also evident to people when I would talk I would give examples and recite history and everything and I wasn't pushing anything I was just naturally at that stage I invested so much into Aikido that I knew so much more than my students and I think they felt it they noticed that they were like wow this guy knows what he's talking about in regards to Aikido and I think that helped me build a tremendous big Aikido community successful and and and have it for long enough funny enough even then eventually after a couple years of teaching all full time I started noticing that I'm kind of running out of material and I think my students started noticing that too that's a whole different subject it's kind of a bit related to how Aikido is structured I believe but years later you might know my story that eventually I started questioning Aikido and I started to feel the limits of my knowledge but the knowledge was not only there the knowledge was not only there because I because I didn't know it but also the way Aikido was structured and the way it was taught it wasn't really teaching anything outside of the curriculum of Aikido and I started to bump into that limitation you know I started to realize shit you know I don't know anything about self-defense I don't know anything about fighting and that's a whole world upon itself and eventually realizing that I want that knowledge I want that skill set and that I cannot offer anything about that to my students or to anyone although I was a martial arts instructor that was one of the reasons I decided to close the dojo and that was the second occasion when I started to reach the limits of my education and I started to get into this phenomena which I'm actually back at right now where I realized and I feel that I do not know enough to do what I want to do so at that second stage I wanted to teach self-defense to people I wanted to make sure they're safe but I had no I didn't have that right the right education also on my youtube channel I was expanding the subject on the martial arts journey as I was closing the dojo I was picking up some new information that I also felt like I don't really know that much especially about MMA or business interviews I was just training you know once or twice per week and that's when I closed the dojo and went to Portland trained for six months intensively and not only training I was always talking with the coaches discussing and and gathering information then I went to Ireland and I gathered quite a significant amount of of expertise and knowledge and you know still I'm very much a beginner at MMA and we're saying it soon but that knowledge combined with my previous knowledge of Aikido traditional arts kind of Aikido philosophy blending it that became kind of a unique thing which allowed me to create some unique videos and valuable videos on youtube or ask questions to people I was talking to which weren't you know the regular questions everyone would ask but they were insightful they were I was digging deeper because I was you know I was kind of I was digging all the time for that information myself and I would reach a threshold which wasn't like a common threshold it wasn't I wasn't digging on the surface and that brought I personally think that brought unique insights and unique conversations to martial arts journey which people appreciated but now as you may know it's been now eight months since I started in the new channel but it's not only about starting the new channel I also decided to change my direction in my life where I'm getting where I'm heading to and I made a statement that I want to create a positive influence outside of martial arts that's why I started the journey of this channel and seeking to create that change and it's been eight months but I released a number of videos and I started to kind of feel I'm I'm I'm developing a certain voice I'm starting to see what's what value I can create but I still kept I kept starting to feel that something is missing something is missing something is missing I'm my goal is big another goal that I have in my mind or inspiration is to create a culture a movement of people inspired become the best possible versions of themselves and to provide value not only for themselves but also for the greater whole for others and and I started to feel like there's something missing there's something missing and the other day that that notion of what what's missing it started to kind of knock onto my door but then the other day I was watching The Last Dance a documentary brilliant one by the way about Michael Jordan and Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls I didn't know that much about it Lithuania my country is a culture of basketball so I definitely knew of Michael Jordan I know my brother was super inspired about him in the day and I knew this and that but I didn't know much and what I learned from that documentary really touched me and I really resonate I really liked the approach of Michael Jordan and to me it became evident and the message was really well delivered through the documentary that he might have been quite talented you know he might have had the right genetics to be a basketball player but that was not enough that was not the secret sauce for him the secret sauce but that he was a maniac at working hard he he he he you know he if you know about him or if you watch that documentary it's so evident that he was working harder than anyone else he was pushing more and it was just his hunger was coffee his hunger was was endless and now it's raining so let's move under a tree so it was evident that Michael Jordan wasn't the best basketball player in the world just because he was genetically gifted and he worked a little bit harder than most of the people but he the secret was for him clearly that he was working harder than anyone else ever you know he was just a maniac at that and if he would lose he would work even harder he wouldn't try to do the same over and over again expecting an eh maybe I'll succeed this time no he'd make sure he would succeed and there was a quote that I loved very much it kind of he said that and it just clicked with me he said I think now that I think of it I think if I remember correctly the the quote was victory requires sacrifice and leadership requires sacrifice and it just made so much sense for me and I realized you know what I've been again for the first time in my life I was taking the wrong approach when I felt a limitation when I felt I'm losing I'm not achieving my my I'm critical losing I'm not achieving my goal I tried to dabble around the same area tried to use the same tools that I have and and kind of push something out of them and I realized that's the same feeling I had those two times in my life that even on the second stage I didn't mention that in particular when I was closing my dojo I also started to feel that my youtube material in the martial arts journey I was kind of started I started to go into circles I was more or less repeating myself saying the same things over and over again and just kind of trying to show different angles but I that was the realization as well and the reason for that was that I my source of knowledge my my depth of knowledge my skill set wasn't deepening anymore I was just kind of dabbling around the same area so I didn't have unique new fresh value to or deep value to offer anymore I already presented what I knew and only after I trained much more I started to be able to present new things more valuable things unique things and again that's that's the same stage in my life again as well and I always kind of I was always kind of drone felt drawn or driven to to by the notion of being the best of the best and I think one of the things which turned me off with martial arts one of the reasons why I kind of started to fade from them there's there's many reasons I keep talking about them but one of them I think is because I realized I don't have that drive or passion for martial arts anymore and that will never make me exceptional in martial arts and and for me in my in my vocabulary you know in my mind is like what's the point of doing then it then doing martial arts if I won't be at the top of the game I just realized I just won't have enough drive to pursue it so I would reach anything exceptional and you know I like presenting it so I like an AMA but I don't have that drive which I had back in the day for a kid over I just those nuts I were going every day training extra before training after the training and and reading books and etc and kind of a little bit like Michael Jordan in his game which was a great episode as well where he decided to play the baseball which you know was kind of out of out of the blue for many people but various individuals said that if he would have continued he would have probably made it to major league but because again of his work ethics the the coaches there told that he was doing quite well but but he was also lacking in some parts and he made sure he worked back his working ethics work his work ethics were incredible and that actually reminds me of of Batman one of my favorite quotes about Batman which actually comes from Christopher Nolan is the director of the Batman Dark Knight trilogy he said Batman doesn't have a superpower per se but you could say that his superpower is super discipline or aka work ethics you know that's the methodology that's the mythology of Batman where he goes nuts and trains hard travels the world learns from the best deepens his knowledge so much for those for those you know story wise seven years and then comes back to become Batman that's what makes him Batman if he would have tried to be Batman without going through that deep education and training he would never have been what he became he wouldn't have the right skill set because his goal was so huge and obviously that's mythology you know that's fiction but but that that message that notion I think it comes from the from our psyche which reminds us that that's kind of the way to go and this is where I am right now I realized that I wanted I wanted to make this happen so bad that I forgot about putting the work in to get there to be able to do that I was kind of expecting that with my already already possessed skill set and knowledge of YouTube of martial arts I always dabbled in psychology and business books and so I have some knowledge there but I'm by far not the best of the best you know I know so little compared to the experts but what's holding me back you know why shouldn't I dive there and do that and that's what I realized and and I did that ready for a little bit of time and I love it it's it's it's hard it's tough it's demanding it's exhausting to you know just go wild and just read books and and watch documentaries and and keep learning about it but but at the same time it's satisfying I feel like that's exactly what I'm missing that's what I need I need to devote myself to education and this is something I haven't said yet on record but this is probably the right time to do that it's already actually a few weeks ago I think I subconsciously I started to feel that that lack in my education and I started to look for solutions and I was recommended a coaching course executive and life coaching course based in London one of the best of the best which is taught by some of the best experts in the world and I applied and now I am a part of it it's going to start from October one it's going to last for eight months so I I want that skill set I want to learn from the best and I want to learn that skill set so I would have some tools which are already established and well developed and recognized and tested by the best of the best to be able to be useful to others to be able to to advise and and to guide people if they need and then to expand my knowledge and also what I I'm what's tempting for me about coaching is that from as far as I know about coaching that whatever you experienced and you know can be adapted and applied to the already existing model of it and you know I have some stuff already in my backpack so this might be an interesting step but I don't think it's gonna end there first of all it's gonna take a while until I will finish it well not for years but you know I have plenty of time on my hands right now to put in the work already nobody's nobody says that I should only learn the curriculum that I'm getting period if I'm gonna do this I want to own this I want to go nuts with it if I want to if I'm gonna be a coach let's make sure I'm gonna be the best possible coach that that is that I'm that there's any chance for me to be and that starts now reading the proper necessary books day on day in and day out you know doing extra training watching very documentaries just just going wild to having an incredible work ethics taking inspiration from such people as Michael Jordan and applying it to other fields so personally I'm passionate and inspired about that and what that means is yeah okay my my my value that I provide right now may become much more limited I do want to focus on my education which means probably I will publish less videos I will put less work on the on on the YouTube thing I already have enough passive income coming from the martial arts journey YouTube channel I might release one or two you know popular videos to make sure I have enough money I do some editing work on the side but you know money is money as long as I have enough that's enough the rest of the time I want to go nuts I want to go wild and become the best possible version of myself learn the hell out of everything and start digging my well of knowledge so I would be able to reach a place where I would not only want to make a difference but I would be capable of making a difference that I would have insights and unique knowledge which is you know accessible to to very few who do the work so I want to do that work so that's what I'm going to do these days

Okay, hi everybody. I'm going to start on problem set 4. Problem set 4 is also the first steps that you're going to need to take for your semester project. So this is fairly important. I'm going to start by getting the data into the problem set, answering a few of the questions, and I'm going to start doing some of the coding. I'm probably going to stop and break this up into two videos so that it's not too long, but I'm going to go until I feel like it's a good stopping point. I don't necessarily have a place chosen. So to start with, this is the problem set 4.QMD file. You can either get it from the GitHub repo, or you can actually get it, I put it in Canvas. Either way, you can get it. I'm going to do something with it before I start, which is to rename it. So your instructions when you turn stuff in is that you're supposed to rename it with your name in the file name to help make it easier to know whose stuff we're grading. I'm going to, instead of doing that, I'm going to rename it problem set 4 demonstration project. You'd put your last name and first name instead of demonstration project, but otherwise, you can do the same thing. So I clicked to put the checkbox on the file, and I hit rename, and I'm coming over here and just typing in demonstration project, and then I'll hit OK, and it renamed the file. Now the next thing I'm going to do is open up that file, and so I'm going to do something that you don't have to do, well, yeah, at this point, but I'm going to go ahead and do it. I want to get this data in here.  You're going to see some of these ghostly things popping up. I'm testing something called co-pilot, and co-pilot is wrong. That's not what I want to do. What I actually want to do is load my data and create an object. So I'm going to create an object just called my data. Now I'm going to change that. We've used that before. I'm going to call this demonstration data, and I'm going to load using the read.csv. Co-pilot is making some good guesses, but it wanted me to load data from a GitHub repository. I'm just going to do read.csv demonstration data.csv, and hopefully this should work without having to set a working directory or anything because I've got this set up in a project, and so it should be reading everything as if it was the main directory. And then I'm going to use that head command just to make sure my data loaded okay. And I'm going to run the current chunk just to hopefully this is going to work. And it doesn't seem to be wanting to work. This is kind of typical. I'm going to go with the other option, which is to highlight that and hit run selected lines. Okay, I'm going to, okay, that's why it wouldn't run the current chunk. So you see what happens when you have an error. We may make this a little shorter video just to get this in here. But the error happened and R gave me this thing showing me where it is. And when I look at it, I can see that the issue is that I typed, I didn't type demonstration data. So I'm going to clear this out and actually run it again. But this time I'm going to do run current chunk. And that time it worked. Okay, so now if I render the file, maybe that'll work and maybe it won't. So I'm going to, I'm going to save that and try to render the file. I still have an error. I typed head instead of heads. I typed heads instead of head. So we'll try it one more time. All right. So, so I had a couple of typos that caused a couple of errors that's going to happen to you too. So I'm kind of glad that happened. Anyway, there's the head of my file. And this file actually has a lot more than two variables. So later I'm going to have to make a decision. So the first question is what is the source of the data set? Where did you get it? So I got this from the VDEM project, VDEM varieties of democracy project. I can hit tab because that's already there. And the reason that's already there is because I've typed similar things. So, I'm going to hit tab again and see if this is right. Yeah, this is correct. This is actually something that I typed in another project. The VDEM project collects data through expert surveys and observations. That's about how long an explanation I expect from you. You don't have to do a lot more than that. So now, two main variables of interest. So I need to select two main variables of interest. You're going to need to do the same thing. And I just need to figure out what I want my variables of interest to be. So I'm going to use, for my purposes, I think I want to use, V2X part tip DEM, which that, so what I'm going to do is come down here where it says what are the two main variables of interest. And I'm going to say my X variable is going to be that. And that's the name of the variable. But I want to actually explain what that is. It is a participatory democracy index. So I could explain a lot about what that means. You don't need to worry about that. But at least give me something that tells me a little bit more than just part tip DEM. And then the other thing that I want to look at is, let's see, I want to go access to justice for women. So my goal here is going to see how the level of participatory democracy affects the access to justice for women. And this is not a well-designed experiment. It's not even a well-designed observational study. This is just really data exploration I want to see. Is there a relationship, whether it's a good one or not? I'm not even trying to get at, but I'm going to model the relationship with no other factors. So then I want to know how many observations there are. And there are several ways I can do this. First way is I can look over here and I can see that I have 179 observations of 16 variables. That's kind of the easy cheating way. It is perfectly acceptable at this point. I can also use Vue. So I can't use Vue. Vue will not work in one of these porto files. Vue is one of the few things that I need to do down here in the console. And if I do Vue with a capital V demonstration data, then I get this thing. And I can just scroll to the bottom and see how many rows there are. There are 179 rows, which is the same thing I got over here. The other thing that I can do is I can use the length command to count the number. So I could actually open a code box and use the length command. And I can also use that along with the as numeric command to create an object that I'll use later. I'm not to that point yet. I'm not going to worry about that. Now what is the median?  So I don't want to have to go through and find the median. And so I'm going to type median demonstration data and the dollar sign. And that's what I want. I want the median for V2X. So the thing with the little ghost things where I can just hit the tab, you probably won't have that. But the thing that happens when I start typing where things start to pop up, you will have. So let's see. That is not the right. I need V2CLA what I have highlighted down there in the corner. So I can, once these things happen, I can up and down arrow on my keyboard to pick the one I want and then hit return. So this is going to return both of those medians. And I'm going to run the chunk in order to get the answer.  All right. So this doesn't seem to be wanting to work. So I'm going to try something else. I'm going to try just rendering it. All else fails. I'm going to just save the file and reopen it. So that worked. That was just, that was purely a computer glitch. Something like that should not be happening on a brand new computer, but things happen. So I'd already answered what is the source. And so I'm down here on question five. So the way I set this up, there is actually a place to type it. So the code produced it. I've got it, but I also am going to come down here and type 0.33 and then type 0.914 for the median of y. And I'm going to render that again. So I rendered that again. And all right. So the code produced the answers, but then I also type the answers in the type section. So you can see typing the answers in the type section is different than typing it in the code.  If I type them up in the code, the number would return. But if I started typing something like if I typed the answer to this question in a code chunk, it would return an error. So Porto gives us the ability to type things in typed areas that get turned out as typed text. And we can do some little bits of formatting, like if I really want to, I can boldface this. And you don't need to do this at this point where you're doing the problem set unless you want to do it for practice. But it's a good idea to get familiar with this because when you produce that final project, you want it to look nice. I mean, so you can see I did the thing with the two asterisks on either side and it turned those things into bold. So I'll do the same thing with the mean. I'm going to go control Alt I and I'm going to, all I want to do, I'm not actually trying to do anything with this. All I want to do is actually get the means of those things so that I can type them in, because typing them in is actually what you're getting credit for here. So I run those things and I will save this. Once it's saved, I will render it. And so I got the answers and I'm going to come over here and put the answers and my cat is going crazy making noise. So hopefully that doesn't interfere here too much. I'm going to go ahead and render this and I think I'm about 15 minutes in. So I'm going to stop here. I'm going to come back with another video where I pick up with problem seven, finding the sample variance and sample standard deviation. And I'm not going to go through all the steps to figure them. I'm just going to rely on the r functions for this problem set and you are absolutely free to do the same thing at this point.


My name is Carol. I'm married to John and John and I run Welsh Lady Preserves. It started in 1966 by my parents-in-law and now myself and my husband and my daughter run the business. Welsh Lady is a business that makes jam, curds, chutneys, sauces. We make for ourselves, our own brand Welsh Lady, but we also make for private label businesses or you might have somebody who has an idea, their own recipes that we will develop and make on a larger scale for them. Welsh Lady employs 20 people. Up to Christmas we tend to employ a few more, but throughout the year we constantly employ about 20 people. We supply all the main supermarkets in Wales. When it comes to exporting Welsh Lady itself goes to Japan, Canada, Australia, various places throughout Europe. Our experience is that obviously it's something that happens throughout the year which helps with the job market obviously. We can keep jobs going. We let the customer organise the collection of the goods from the factory, so we sell what we call X factory, so we don't have the worry of having to organise the logistics of moving the products from the factory to its final destination. Recently we've had a bit of help from the Welsh Government with ideas on how to develop the business. They help me get a consultant in to discuss how we can improve, how we can alter the machinery. They'll also help with visiting foreign countries where they've actually accompanied me and organised meetings with buyers, so without that help I'm sure we wouldn't be in so many shops in different countries as we are now. I'd always approach them first for either advice or help with investing. I'm really proud that obviously the Welsh Lady brand is in places like Dallas and Australia, Tokyo. The fact that Wales is getting to be so well known as being a key producer of food now, that makes me very proud. I remember going to Japan and they told me that they know of Wales because of the football and because of our lemon curd and that made me feel really, really proud.


I am Dr. Sumit Talwar. I am the Chairman of Bariatric Surgery of Manipal Health and Prizes Private Limited. The relationship of type 2 diabetes and obesity flash bariatric surgery is a complex one. Type 2 diabetes especially if it is uncontrolled makes any surgery riskier. But a properly controlled type 2 diabetes will not have a major impact on the risks of bariatric surgery. In fact after bariatric surgery about 80% of type 2 diabetics will be able to go off all their medicines for a prolonged period of time.


If there was anything negative to point out about last year's Lenovo Yoga 9i, it's the touchpad, which wanted to take over the whole wrist rest. This time we have a more standard approach, which is sure to appease more people. Stick with us to see what else the new model brings and if it's the right one for you. Spoiler alert, it totally is if you are looking for a fancy and luxurious device with a decent chunk of performance. The Yoga 9i comes with a very sturdy chassis that's made entirely of aluminum. The design is one of the best that we've seen with round dashes and corners. The sides are very shiny, while the lead and base have a more matte and diced finish. There is a slight protrusion on the lead so you can grip it more comfortably. In terms of dimensions, it's neither the lightest nor the heaviest laptop out there, with a weight between 1.40 and 1.50 kilograms depending on the display choice. The notebook is very thin, just 15.25 mm. The protrusion on the lead helps with grip, so you can open the laptop with one hand. The bezels on the lead are narrow, while steel housing and AFHD webcom with an IR face recognition sensor. The keyboard has good key travel and clicky feedback, while there is a backlight as well. The touchpad has a decent size, however the glass surface is the real star. It's very smooth and responsive. The I.O. is split between the left and right sides. The left has a full-size 10 gigabit USB port and two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Then on the right there is an audio jack, one USB type-C 10 gigabit port and the power button. The glass protected display comes in three variants, an AFHD plus IPS panel, a 2.8K OLED panel and a 4K UHD plus OLED panel. We tested the 2.8K version, which has excellent viewing angles and a peak brightness of 400 nits. Also, the contrast ratio is infinite, so colors appear vibrant and deep. The panel fully covers the sRGB and DCI B3 gamut. The color accuracy reaches a delta E value of below 2 with our design and gaming profile in the DCI B3 space with the D65 white point.

If you decide to just start following us, we'll be able to reinvest more in our laboratory, thus making even more helpful videos for you. Thank you, you're awesome! With the big 75Wh battery pack and the Core i7-1260p, the laptop lasts for 7 hours and 13 minutes of web browsing, or 6 hours and 56 minutes of video playback, which isn't exactly great. On the other hand, the Core i7-1260p scores really well, outclassing everything that Intel offered in 2021 while being competitive with the Ryzen 7 6800U from AMD in 3D rendering. Also, it's much faster than the AMD CPU in our Photoshop test. The laptop uses a decent setup for a p-serious CPU, with 2 heat pipes and 2 fans. The cooling does well, pushing the Core i7-1260p up to 62W and up to 3.12GHz on the performance scores, albeit only for 10 seconds. Afterward, the TDP drops to 50W for the next 20 seconds. In long runs, like video rendering, the processor maintains its base 28W TDP. The machine is comfortable most of the time, but the fans do get loud when using the performance preset. The base reaches 40°C, switches nowhere near disturbing levels, so we're quite happy. All of the RAM is soldered onto the motherboard, but at least you're getting very quick LPDDR5 memory that works at 5200MHz. For storage, there is one M.2 slot for fast gen 4 SSDs. We'll leave our teardown video in the upper right corner, which shows how to upgrade the Lenovo Yoga 9i. The 14-inch Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 7 is an excellent notebook that dials back on being a testing ground for whatever new technology Lenovo comes up with. After all, the company has the ThinkPad X1 lineup for that. The laptop offers a stylish and durable design and a great selection of displays, both IPS and OLED versions. Performance is great as well, at least for a 14-inch notebook, so you really have nothing major to worry about if you think to pick one up. If you want to see more tests and details about the device, you can check out our in-depth review. The link is in the video description below.

We started up in a prior presentation going through the setup process. We do every time maximize the home page and the view drop down. We got the hide icon bar open windows list checked off open windows open on the left reports drop down company and financial profit and loss standard change the range from a one oh one two three to twelve thirty one two three customize it and fonts and numbers changing to fourteen okay yes and okay let's go to the reports drop down again company and financial this time the balance sheet standard we're going to customize that report with a change of the range oh one oh one two three two twelve thirty one two three fonts and numbers change the font bring it on up to fourteen okay yes and okay that's the setup process we have been doing every time we've entered two months of data input at this point now we're going to be running month end reports for a few different reasons one to check our numbers if you're following along with the practice problem and two to think about the types of reports that we might be wanting to group together and provide say to customers or supervisors on a periodic basis possibly at the end of the month at the end of the quarter at the end of the year so we're going to have our balance sheet we got sir income statement and then we'll take a look at our transaction detail by date which can help us look at what we have done for the second month and drill down on any problems if you have any discrepancies now note first of all that now that we have two months of data input when we look at just the normal reports of a balance sheet and an income statement or profit and loss we all of a sudden have a lot more options because now we can look at a balance sheet that has two months we can look at an income statement that has two months we can compare the two months having one minus the other and contrasting the two months and you can imagine as we have more and more data in the system if this if this was the second year then we can be comparing the current month to the prior month of the prior year same month of the prior year the current quarter to the same quarter of the prior year so you can get quite complex in terms of the reports you might want to generate and you can generate a whole lot of reports even when we're looking at just variations of a balance sheet and a profit and loss as we start to have multiple periods so that's the first thing just want to point out here so what we're going to do is I'm just going to make a comparative of January in February let's make the balance sheet a differential report and so what I'm going to do is go to customize up top and I'm going to say that I'm going to run this for the month of February only this is going to be 020123 to 022823 that would be for the month of February and then I'm going to say I would like to see the prior period the change in dollar and the change in percent now this works great for a balance sheet because the balance sheet is as of a point in time so this is where we stood in the current month February and then the prior month January and this is the difference between where we stood between the two now note that this is a report that has all the information of the original balance sheet so I'm just going to use this report because it has that here but if you're providing these reports to a client you might want to run a simplified balance sheet so you could consider maybe I run a a simple balance sheet which might be a summary balance sheet and then I run a standard balance sheet and then I create comparative balance sheets you're going to get a lot of reports but it might be easier to first go from simple to more data but I'm just going to use this one because it has everything in it and then I'm going to customize it a little bit more so it's customized up top and we'll go into the header and footer let's say I'm going to get rid of the date prepare time prepared report basis I might want to call it a balance sheet like comparison or maybe a comparative balance sheet let's say comparative balance sheet and then as of date might not be as relevant because it's going to have two dates on it we'll put our name in footer as has been our custom and then on the fonts and numbers we changed it to 14 let's also put parentheses around it for external reports and let's get rid of the pennies and say okay so there's the report that I'm going to be giving externally if you're checking your numbers you can go through here and check you know February will be the latest date that you can take a look at let's do the same thing for the profit and loss we'll come back and actually print these in a second here after we look at all the reports I'm going to do the same thing for the profit and loss but this time I want to say January February and then have the total of January and February instead of the difference because that report will give me everything in essence in one report again you might want to give a simplified profit and loss and then a normal profit and loss and then a comparative profit and loss subtracting the two and then possibly a month by month profit and loss or a quarter by quarter profit and loss depending on the dates you run it let me show you what I mean I'm going to go to the customized up top we're going to go down here and say this is going to be from 010123 to 022823 notice the two month time period this time and then instead of going previous down here I want to say that we want to have this by month right there by month which is also right here by month so that's useful on the income statement because now it gives me January February and the total unlike the balance sheet the balance sheet being where we stand as a point in time this one is what we earned or incurred through January through February that's why we have the total column summing it up the total column is the total of where we stand for the year to date at this point that's why this report gives us in essence everything but it's a little bit confusing to give to people sometimes because it's got a lot more data on it so you might consider running simplified reports and then this report but I'm just going to run this one we're going to customize up top we're going to then say header and footer let's call it an income statement income statement let's say comparative maybe comparative income statement or something like that I'm going to get rid of the sub date or January through February I'm going to say date prepared don't need that time report basis put our name on the footer and then fonts and numbers let's we put it to 14 let's put the parentheses read and remove the pennies so that's where we stand here the total number on the outside is what you want to be comparing to I'll also open up a trial balance which is not usually something we give externally but I want to give that for internal purposes so you can so you have that on a hard copy reports drop-down accounting and taxes trial balance let's change the date range from 010123 to 1231 to let's make that 22823 I'll customize it and I'll say that we want to have this filters header footer let's get rid of the date time report basis name in the footer and then we'll say fonts and numbers negative numbers with parentheses read and with without let's keep the sense on this one because you might be checking this for for your checking your numbers let's also increase the size of it I'll bring it up to 14 not 16 to have it all the same size okay yes and okay so there we have that and now we'll also take a look at our transaction detail report now this is the one that you you want to check your numbers here and if something does not tie out change your date ranges see if it's a date issue and then you can drill down on it if everything was correct as of last month meaning all your numbers were correct when you ran the report from January through January 31st after the first month of data input and all of our transactions tie out this one must be correct now you could if you can't figure out a problem you could try to run this report as of January and compare that to the presentation that we did in January to see if you recorded anything or deleted anything from the prior month that's why deleting prior month stuff becomes a problem if your January trial balance still ties out to our January trial balance and all of your data input matches the next report we look at you should end up at this point all of your balances tying out to the trial balance here so let's take a look at the transaction report reports drop down accounting and taxes this is going to be let's look at the transaction list by date report I'm going to change the dates for just February so it's going to be 020123 to 022823 so this is and let's customize it up top let's go to the headers and footers I'll get rid of the date time and and then name on the footer and then fonts and numbers let's bring this up let's try to bring it up to 12 as well to and say okay I think we did the rest of 14 but this is this is going to be harder to fit on one page so let's see what we have here note that you do want to have consistency if you're going to be printing the reports to have the same kind of size of the font it's kind of nice just to make it look nice making it look nice is half the process to provoke or have a sense of confidence with whoever you're working with your clients okay so so note this is going to be giving us everything that we did by date so now we've got this information by date in here notice that you might use this report as we're going to use it to kind of review your work as a supervisor reviewing somebody else's work to see what they actually did and if we're building somebody by transaction this is a great report to and we might actually provide it to the clients and say look this is how many transactions we entered we told you we're going to bill you if you're within this range of transactions so much monthly or whatever so this is so what you want to do is go through here now this gives you the the type of transaction the name the memo and then the other account which or the account and the split account so this is the actual transactions that are impacting the accounts the splits are kind of a problem here because that doesn't give you the other detail that means that three accounts were used or at least there was multiple line items for the second account so so that's a little bit of a default with it you could run a journal report which gives you more detail on that but we're going to run this one because it's a little bit smaller so I'm just going to scroll down this is what we have here if something is on here but not on your side you might want to change the date range up top and see if it's a date issue and and then if something's on your side but it's not here then it might be that you messed up one of the transactions entered it incorrectly or that that you entered it twice or something like that you could remove the transaction and once again if your prior trial balance ties out for January and all of your transactions here match then your ending trial balance for February should match okay so we'll print these things out if I was to provide these to clients then I would want to give it to them in like a cloud drive maybe or a zipped file that has them in order make it as easy for them to open so we're going to save them as a PDF and then we'll also save them as a one PDF by using Excel as we did in the end of January so I'll do it a little bit faster because we've seen it before let's start with the balance sheet I'm going to go print we're going to save it as a PDF I'm going to put this into my my folder that I set up here let's see we'll put it into the QuickBooks and we got the GGG reports and these are going to be for the reports I'll make a new folder for 02.28.23 and then I'll go into that one and I'll put the reports here this is going to be a comparative balance sheet so comparative balance sheet you might want to number them too if you want them to be opened in a certain order but I'm going to say save that and then I'll go to my profit and loss which will be the next one I usually think about let's print that one print save as a PDF and this is going to be then a comparative income statement if I misspell anything then I mean you won't be surprised or anything because I'm going kind of fast here although I would probably misspell stuff even if I went extremely slow but in any case whatever print the trial balance save this is going to be the trial balance and then I should probably put the date on them as well but I'm going to keep it here and then the transaction report let's say print this one save as a PDF and this will be the transaction list by date now this one in particular we might want to you know double check and do a preview on it like to make sure it fits on one page wide it doesn't so that's a pretty ugly report right here if I give it to someone like that so so if I can't fix that within QuickBooks because I could say fit to one page wide like this fit report to one pages high fit to one page wide but that often changes the font size so sometimes it's kind of nice to export them to excel in that case so that's what I'll do here let's export it to excel and try to get everything on one PDF so right now if I check out what we have let's check out what we have thus far shall we if I go into the the data files reports we've got then the reports for January and I could give these hold on a second we've got the reports for February now I could give these to somebody one at a time like this in an email but I might want to zip them so I'm gonna right-click let's make another folder I'm gonna call this 0101.01 say 01.31.23 reports I'm gonna drag these into them and I should fix that transaction detail report but I'm gonna put these in here and then right-click and zip that one so I could say compress it and now I can attach this to an email that's one way I might do it or I might put it into a cloud drive now I'm gonna use Excel to try to put all of the PDFs on one file and adjust for some of those formatting things like making something landscape and try to make it as nice as possible that way so let's try to do it again I'm gonna go to the balance sheet Excel create new Excel worksheet so I'm gonna put them all in an Excel worksheet and then print them all on one PDF using Excel I'm gonna put it into a new workbook a new work book it should open up Excel of course you need Excel in order to do this type of process I'm gonna go to the second tab usually and then back to the first tab and see if it fits on one page it does not so I'm gonna say what can I do here I can I could try to move this stuff over maybe I don't need column A I'm gonna first try to make it fit on one page portrait and if it doesn't then I'll go landscape so I'll say can I move this over maybe get ready to call them a click and I call them a right click delete I don't need these other skinnies so I'm gonna hold down control select in the skinnies right click on the skinnies and delete and so that's pretty close maybe I can just squish this up a bit squish squish oh come on give me a break so that's still kind of cutting into it a bit but I'm gonna keep that for now I'm gonna say file let's save as put this on my desktop under the QuickBooks put this into the to the GGG reports and the January reports and this will be once again the 01 no these aren't January reports I'm in February February these are once again the 02.28.23 reports and I've misnamed it here oh reports we'll say save it boom I'm gonna change the dates for just February so it's gonna be 0201 23 to 0228 23 so this is and let's customize it up top let's go to the headers and footers I'll get rid of the date time and and then name on the footer and then fonts and numbers let's bring this up let's try to bring it up to 12 as well to and say okay I think we did the rest of 14 but this is this is gonna be harder to fit on one page so let's see what we have here note that you do want to have consistency if you're gonna be printing the reports to have the same kind of a size of the font it's kind of nice just to make it look nice making it look nice is half the process to provoke or have a sense of confidence with

I'm going to call this oh one oh one dot oh one say oh one dot thirty one dot two three reports I'm going to drag these into them and I should fix that transaction detail report but I'm going to put

kind of cutting into it a bit but I'm going to keep that for now I'm going to say file let's save as put this on my desktop under the QuickBooks put this into the to the GGG reports and the the January reports and this will be once again the 01 now these aren't January reports I'm in February February these are once again the 02 dot 28 dot 23 reports and I've misnamed it here oh reports we'll say save it boom see if I can change the name of this one this should be renamed let's make this not that one this should be

So I've been meaning to make some videos about foosie aka foosie tube because you know ever since July 15th and that fiasco there's a lot of talk about him going through a manic episode of things like that. What I will say is make sure you go check out my friend Kay's channel or YouTube channel is bipolar pug. I will link it down in the description below. She did an incredible video about is foosie going through a manic episode and she taught me a lot and she's also done some guest videos on my channel. So go check that out. Eventually I might make some videos about foosie possibly going through a manic episode and things like that but more so just where he's at and how he needs to earn forgiveness and trust from his audience. All right. But anyways so Abreyzy just made a video and Abreyzy is a friend of foosie and YouTube's great. YouTube's okay there's a lot of gripes about the algorithm but like YouTube you got me like you know what I'm watching what I'm paying attention to and it just recommended this video to me. So I'm like okay because something that I've been talking about when we see what's going on in the community and you see people screwing up or messing up or going through a difficult time we have to ask ourselves like who are they surrounded themselves with are they being enabled and one thing that you should never do is enable somebody who is going through a manic episode. All right and this is a great example of it. I just watched Abreyzy's video so you can go check it out. I will put a link down in the description below. It's about 20 minutes long and it's titled what you need to know about foosie tube. So I'm like I've never heard of this Abreyzy guy. I barely know anything about foosie tube but like I go into it and I'm wondering like what he's going to talk about like you know foosies possible mania and things like that. He only touches on it at the very beginning and at the very end of the video okay. Basically the whole video is about his relationship with foosie tube and this is really really such a great example of how we can fall into enabling somebody without even realizing it. So one of the things that he says is this.  I don't think it's true. I genuinely believe use of is not crazy. I believe that what you guys call mental and what you guys call crazy. I see as passion. All right. All right. So first thing we're talking about mental health. We got to understand that you know during these especially manic phases during these phases you will be passionate. You will be extremely passionate about it. Let me give you an example about passion. Okay. I am a recovering drug addict and alcoholic. All right. My entire life revolved around getting drugs using drugs drinking alcohol getting alcohol. Right. I was very passionate about it. Does that mean that it's right. Does that mean that it's correct. No. So we can't say that these two things can't be independent. You can be passionate and you could be having mental health problems. It doesn't it doesn't mean that it's one or the other. It can be both because when we're dealing with chemical imbalances in our brain it can make us very passionate about certain things. You know what I'm saying. And what what happens with mania specifically is these heightened feelings of like being grandiose and powerful and can do anything and accomplish anything and things like that. And those of you who didn't know foosie has suspended all this social media from his YouTube channel to his Instagram to Twitter all that kind of stuff. And I'm going to talk about that in another video. So one of the things that he did was he set himself up for failure and now he's off all this stuff and hopefully he's getting some help or he's reassessing you know whatever it is like I hope at the end of the day like you guys realize like I I just want people to get help you know but it's very hard for someone to get help when the people closest to this person is enabling them. So basically the the big chunk of the a breezy video is how he met foosie to what was going on in his life. So long story short a breezy was going through a difficult time in his life. He talks about getting bullied in high school not knowing what to do dropping out of college. That's when he met foosie and you know foosie has been there for him like a brother and done everything for him. That's awesome. I don't doubt it. I don't doubt it at all. Foosie seems like a great guy and I and I know foosies intentions are pure and I appreciate that about him but until he gets his mental health reigned in he's going to well let's say this he's not going to be able to help people in the way that he wants to help people okay but what we're seeing with a breezy is the closer you are to somebody who is dealing with this stuff especially if they have helped you you get blinded by things. I'm gonna forever be in debt to use of right. He changed my life right. He pulled me out of a really dark place. He motivated me into changing my life. So it looks like a breezy is he's defending foosie and saying he's a good guy he's not a bad guy. I don't believe that foosie is a bad guy but what's happening is is that it's blinding a breezy to the clear mental health issues that foosie is having okay and when it comes to bipolar disorder there are amazing ups amazing ups but extreme lows all right. A lot of people with bipolar disorder actually say they wouldn't get rid of it if they could because they they love the highs they love those things and bipolar pug Kay she actually explained to me I didn't even know this manic episodes can last for months. I thought it was like maybe a day or two like this is why I'm still educating myself about it but like what what's the solution what's the solution like because this dude a breezy loves foosie like a brother he needs to he needs to be the one to tell him like yo dude you need to get some help you need to get some help but what happens is and I struggled with this a lot too like I I I struggled a lot with my my mental health obviously that's why I make this channel and people were there for me okay people paid my bills people let me have a place to live people were there for me right but then those people would screw up and I'd be afraid to say something to them because I felt so indebted to them you know and and part of it is my brain told me that I'm less than this person because they supported me so much so who am I to tell them anything that they knew need to do to fix their lives you might experience this if you're the son or daughter of somebody who has mental health issues right how are you supposed to tell a parent the person who raised you what to do or how to get help you see what I mean so part of this is is even though you know I don't think you know foosie impresses his power upon a breezy I think foosie's a good friend to him but I think without a breezy even realizing it he feels less than okay so his only role in that relationship when it comes to what the public is saying about foosie is just strictly defending him that's it that's it like I really wanted to watch this video I was curious I was curious to see if he mentioned you know I told foosie that he should get help I told foosie was a bad idea to get off his medications I told foosie that he's not a doctor and he shouldn't stop taking his medications I told foosie that I'm not a doctor and I shouldn't be the one to tell him to stop taking his medications you know what I mean like there's so many things that I expected a breezy to say but you can see throughout that video that he feels so indebted to this guy too foosie that he doesn't think that you know he he has the right to tell him to get help right and again I make these videos to help you like are you enabling somebody because you're afraid to tell them that they need to get help are you blinded by the fact that they've helped you in the past right because this is a big issue because because somebody has helped us so much in the past the best way that we can be a friend to that person is to return that favor it's kind of like when your parents like raise you then they get like super old and they're like on their little like walker and stuff like that now it's your turn to be there for them you see what I mean but one of the issues is that we we look at mental health in a different way than physical health like if somebody had a walker we'd help them out we'd carry their groceries we'd run errands for them and things like that because we could see that they're physically in pain or physically struggling right not enough people are informed about the mental aspect of this thing we need to do the same thing when people are mentally struggling we need to figure out ways that we can help them you know what I mean so I really want you to reflect on your own life and see if there's anybody in your own life who you might be enabling because they've just done so much for you and you don't know how to talk to them about it or like what you really got to do is really sit down and get quiet maybe meditate maybe journal do something and say like ask yourself like am I blinded like am I not seeing the full picture am I not seeing that they are struggling or they are screwing up because of my relationship with them all right this is something that you deal with or maybe you just got a aha moment in this video make sure you leave comments down below like let's talk about this I really think it's cool not cool but you know it's cool that there's things going on in the community where I can bring up these topics like enabling is such a big problem and it affects your mental health as well as the other person's mental health so I'm I'm fortunate and glad that there are things going on in the community where I can help you see what you might be doing in your life because once you figure that out once you spot that problem you can begin to improve it all right but that's all I got for you right now so if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and again if you're new here make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos all right and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon and we still got some rewired soul merch up in the shop you can click a top right there all right thanks so much for watching don't enable anybody today and I'll see you next time


Welcome to the other side. The married side. Hey, it's Anfa and you're watching AnfaVlog. Today I want to show you a new open source distortion plugin for Linux called Wolf Shaper. It's a pretty simple but very powerful processor that lets you crush your sounds with custom designed distortion functions. It has a neat graphical user interface where you can create all sorts of interesting curves. I'm using that one constantly since I was told it exists but it's not widely known yet so I've decided to spread the word with this video. Wolf Shaper is being developed by Patrick Desolnier who have contacted me in May 2018 saying that he's making a wave shaping plugin based on Fruity Wave Shaper by Image Line. I was super happy to hear that because there's still nothing like Wolf Shaper in the open source music production ecosystem. There is a built-in wave shaper plugin in LMS but it's not as flexible as Wolf Shaper and it's not available outside of LMS. There's also kind of a wave shaper plugin in the ALSA modular synth system but again it's only available inside of that system. I've been testing the plugin and providing Patrick with feedback and suggestions for improvements. Enough introduction, let's begin. To install Wolf Shaper you can go to the project's GitHub page and download some binaries or even better install a PPA repository if you're running a Ubuntu-based Linux distribution. The plugin is available for Linux in LV2, DSSI, VST2 and standalone formats. Starting from version 0.1.5 there's also a Windows VST download available. For the purpose of understanding what Wolf Shaper exactly does we're gonna work with sine waves. However first let's talk about the user interface shall we? Alright so here is my Ardor 5.12 session. I have a track with a Zinfusion instance playing a nice consistent sine wave with no velocity sensing so it's easier for us to understand what's going on. After that I have the Wolf Shaper inserted which is right here as you can see when I play it affects the sound I'm gonna reset the curve and after that we have the simple scope plugin which is a very nice oscilloscope by Robin Garias. Alright so the main area of the Wolf Shaper user interface is the canvas where you can create your function. So with the left mouse button you can move around points. You can also move the center points to change the shape of any curve segment. With the right click you can add new points that you can then move around with the left click. Left click and drag. If you right click on the left point of a curve segment you can open up a context menu and you can do various things like delete a point or you can change the type of the curve segment. There are four types. There is a single power which is the default one and it looks like this. There is the double power which is basically the same thing however doubled and mirrored. There is a stairs function that creates a staircase which is useful for decimation effects like bit reduction and there is wave which actually has two modes. It depends if you drag the curve up or down so when you go down you have a sine wave function and the more you drag the more cyclos you fit in but if you drug it up you have a diode processed sine wave so and you can also make it as dense as you want so that's the basic functions. At any point in time you can also easily reset your curve to the basic one and just make sure you do it when you really want it because there is no undo. If you want to reset the parameters of the plugin however like this and this and this you can just use this reset in Ardor and that's gonna make this all go to default. When the sound comes in Wolf Shaper will show a vertical line to indicate the input peak level so we can tell how much you're saturating your function. I've made the Zinnet sub effects as loud as possible without clipping so we can saturate the curve quite a bit. However you can correct for that with the pre knob which stands for pre gain so when I play a note you can make this louder or quieter. However this pre gain control is somewhat limited so you might want to increase the volume of your instrument with a different plugin maybe a compressor or maybe just crank it up in the instrument in the synthesizer itself if you don't have enough room to do it here. Speaking of the knobs we have two more and the next is at the end let's call it the green knob is the post gain which basically changes the volume but after the wave shaping occurs basically if you make your sound too loud you can turn it back down with this. Let's reset reset and reset. The third knob in between the blue one is the wet. The name stands for dry wet ratio so basically if I make my function create square waves right now I'm gonna turn down the post gain. The dry wet control will mix the output between the original wave shaped sound and the distorted one. So basically you can blend together the original sound which is called dry and the processed sound which is called wet hence dry wet. Let's reset. There's an over sampling function that will increase the internal sampling rate of the plugin to avoid unwanted aliasing distortion. I never found myself in a need to use it so for sure it can make wolf shaper a CPU hog. As you can see it changes how the waveform is done however I will leave this entirely to your taste if you think it sounds smoother with over sampling go use it but I think that over sample function is still pretty CPU hungry it's not considered super stable. Speaking of unstable features wolf shaper has two modes of operation the basic mode is the unipolar mode which basically is the symmetric mode in that mode the bottom left corner is the zero and the top right corner is the one and this is applied symmetrically both to the positive and the negative parts of our signal. Let me show you. You see the top and the bottom are perfectly symmetric this is what is called unipolar mode if I switch to bipolar mode you see that the waveform is not symmetric anymore and the actual center of our of our curve is not in the bottom left corner it's right here in the center of the graph if I move this here we can see easier what's going on you can see I can distort just the bottom part of the waveform you see the bottom is a square like but the top is still the sine wave this is very useful and can be extremely fun especially in sound design related to the unipolar bipolar mode there is this center button when enabled and it's enabled by default for good reason it will try to remove any possible DC offset that has come around when we create a curve that's center is not really in the center if you know what I mean well basically if this is here we have DC offset and you can hear the clicks happening as I do this there is static current flowing but there is no signal I have personally found that disabling the center and playing around with the bipolar mode can sometimes be problematic that's why I said this is unstable the unipolar mode I consider it to be perfectly stable I can mess around with this all day and doesn't crash or nothing when I switch to bipolar mode things can go haywire I mean it crashed harder only once for me but many times it produced the normals or nans or some other crazy stuff that made the whole session just unoperatable I had to reload just go to recent and reload my session in order to be able to continue my work so it's not a deal breaker but it can be a bit inconvenient at times but well this software is not in stable version yet so things are gonna improve we're almost done covering all the features there is just one thing left actually two things it's these two knobs and switches these are real-time modifiers that will distort our curve according to some functions we have two types and each type has three variants so we have the type bend and skew each one in three variants so we have bend plus bend minus and bend plus minus also we have skew plus skew minus and skew plus minus let's start with the bend plus which is the first one you can see it brings the points together towards the center from the edges now minus it just works in the opposite direction it spreads them outwards from the center and bend plus minus can go outward or inward now let's go to skew skew will push the points towards one of the sides skew plus we'll do it for the right skew minus we'll do it for the left and skew plus minus we'll do it left or right and the neutral is the middle position now there are two knobs and two switches so one is for the horizontal axes and the other one is for the vertical axes so basically you can have two of these one on the vertical and one on the horizontal axes and you can and you can play around with them and automate this and make all kinds of weird stuff or just use them to tweak your curve until it sounds great that's all the features in the next wolf shaper video i'm going to show you how to use wolf shaper in a real track actually i have the track right here i have a track right here that i made specifically for the short video series about wolf shaper and i'm going to show you how you can use this uh the wolf shaper plugin to enhance the sounds that we have in the track the drums the bass the leads everything special effects we're gonna use wolf shaper as a tool for mixing we're gonna make these sounds more interesting more crisp and in the third video i'm gonna use wolf shaper to design absolutely new sounds like we did here with sine waves maybe possibly using some other tools some other effects to have many different interesting things going on so stay tuned and if you like this video leave it a like if you have any questions or suggestions for the future videos please leave them in the comments i'm reading all of that and i'm considering your ideas in my next videos so the next video will be about wolf shaper the next next video will be about wolf shaper but i might maybe actually interleave some other topics to not get bored so i'm gonna try to make shorter but more defined videos yeah and i want to give big thanks to all the patreon supporters at patreon.com slash anfa who are enabling me to dedicate more time to making videos like this one unless to do any other work i have a full-time job as a graphic designer currently but hopefully with your support with the support of the community one day discs may become my full-time job or at least half-time job that would be awesome anyway so if you want to see more and better more frequent videos from me consider becoming a patreon supporter so that's all for today thanks for watching and i will see you in the next video bye


What's up guys take down here with another video for you this video as the title suggests is Going to be me talking about the new YouTube policy changes, which I should have made this video Maybe a little bit sooner. I'll explain why I didn't in a second and What it's going to be doing to small youtubers and what it's going to be doing to my channel So this is just a small youtubers perspective of it The reason I didn't make it whenever it was announced is because I wanted to see Kind of where people what people thought of it. I want to get my Facts right on certain things I wanted to understand where people are coming from and I wanted to know Kind of sit down to think of where I want my channel to go from here on out and I honestly I'm excited for the future of my channel because of these new policies The reason I am making this video is because I have seen so many people in Facebook groups in reddit groups YouTube videos on their comments Complaining about the new policy changes, but I have yet to see anybody share their video in these Facebook groups or anywhere From a small youtubers perspective. I haven't seen any small youtubers put out videos I'm sure there is small youtubers talking about this on their channel But I have yet to watch any of them. I haven't seen any of them in Facebook feeds or anything like that So I decided to make my own today And kind of get my thoughts out there and let people know as a small youtuber what I think of the situation And that's what I'm doing. So if you haven't heard recently YouTube changed their policy where you need 1,000 total subscribers and 4,000 total watch hours, which does seem like a lot in Reality is not compared to what it was for the past couple years, which was nothing It is substantial and I know it's gonna be discouraging and from my what I read in comments on Facebook groups and reddit groups There's quite a few small youtubers leaving the platform because they don't see their channel growing or they don't see it's worth it And it's discouraging to a bot trust me. I Was discouraged too, but now going forward. I know exactly what I need to do and I'm more motivated now Then I ever have been To make my channel what I believe it needs to be and what I believe it can be so a Lot of small youtubers are hating on it Recently I've seen a few big youtubers talk about it on their channel Most notably would be PewDiePie. I watched that a couple days ago Three weeks. So he made the video saying why he agrees with these changes because Let's face it YouTube over the past few years has been swamped with bad actors and YouTube actually states that too But they've been swamped with bad actors when I say bad actors. I don't mean like a youtuber is a bad actor I mean the channels that have copyright music copyright TV shows Movies and they're just playing them for free To get the views to get the ad revenue and YouTube wanted to put a stop to it. I've been wanting them to do this for years They finally have the second thing YouTube has been doing is they're gonna have 10,000 people in Offices or maybe they'll have them work at home Watching YouTube videos making sure the quality is where it needs to be and by the end of 2018 They're gonna have 10,000 people Dedicated to that. So it's not gonna be a machine anymore, which I know in 2017. It was a machine kind of doing that and They could do a lot of bad choices and the machine did do that. It was the ad apocalypse I know PewDiePie did cause that he did recently apologized for that I'm not sure if he did before but he did in his last video as well And it sucked as a youtuber because It was a machine doing it. It was the algorithm. It wasn't an actual person watching the videos So a lot of people were frustrated with that But you don't have to worry because YouTube is putting actual people on the line and the reason for their reason for them doing that is in parts with the Logan Paul Logan Paul conspiracy Not really conspiracy, but what happened with Logan Paul early January? And they don't want it to happen again So they made these changes. It is discouraging. I was extremely discouraged I didn't know what I was gonna do going forward on my channel, but It has motivated me because I've been trying my best to put a better content. I've been trying to plan better I've been trying to think of what people want to see that I want to make because at the end of the day If you're a youtuber if you're making videos if you're not excited and you don't show your enthusiasm enthusiasm in your videos If you're not interested in the videos you are making your viewers aren't gonna be interested in you. So I've been getting better. I've been trying to do courses and I'm getting into courses to make my content a hell of a lot better So that is my plans for the future, but there's so many people complaining with YouTube's Doing and just giving up so my word of advice to you coming from a small youtuber Which somebody who's trying to do it themselves don't give up prove YouTube wrong They want this platform to be basically for people that depend on the revenue They're the ones that they want to give the revenue to I would like to be there someday Hopefully I'm not making any plans on it. I'm still keeping my nine to five for now gonna plan my future I have a whole list of stuff I want to try to do in 2018 not only for the channel But for myself school wise job wise living on my own wise Which that will all better the channel as well but Don't give up if you're a small youtuber don't give up because it's really sad to see so many people leaving and The way I think of it when all these small youtubers leave when the big youtubers years down the line Leave because they've done everything they want to do they have accomplished everything they needed to Who's gonna take their place if all the small youtubers leave now There's not gonna be anybody to take their place, and I really don't want that to happen That's why I'm trying my hardest. Hopefully one day. I'll be at not a huge youtubers level Maybe I'll be Somewhere that I could make a little bit of extra cash on who knows I Really want to make videos and I'm gonna be doing everything I can going forward So I really wish so many youtubers so many small youtubers would take that advice Would do that not just give up think of where they want to be on this platform and think how they can do it and Do it just do whatever You can to stay and if you work hard it will likely pay off But I will leave this video here kind of rambling at the end, but it is what it is It did affect me the policy changes, but I am going Straight at it. I'm gonna be trying to knock them down within the next year or two years and Trying to pass that to get ads back on my channel a lot of people honestly hated Because they're making pennies or dollars or whatever That's they're getting that taken away But if you're not making too much money to me you shouldn't be mad because it's not really affecting you too much I know having a little bit of change For videos and a little bit there is encouraging because you're like I made this little bit That's encouraging me to make more, but at the end of the day You'll you'll make it if you if you put in the effort you will make it you'll get that money back And it'll be substantial at one point The other thing before I leave I just want to talk about is I was so close to my first check as a lot of People were so hopefully YouTube decides to say okay, whatever you made so far you can cash out now We'll let you that would be encouraging even more, but they don't have to do that You could save that until you get big, but what happens if you never get big You're gonna have that little bit of cash just sitting there and you're never gonna cash it So I really hope YouTube changes that and they let us cash it out and also They have announced a lot of people were scared that their channel They're gonna be losing a lot of features that is a hundred percent false YouTube put out a statement and actually had a view video made for the YouTube creator sites or channel Saying you're not gonna be losing any of your features some features if you start a new channel now Some of the features where you had to have and be in the program You don't need to be in the program anymore You just have to get a call or get a text and they'll text you a link to Get some of your features back but if you had the features when you were a partner and After they make these changes You're still gonna have these features even though you're not gonna be part of the partnership anymore And a lot of these features are stuff that a small youtuber depends on in my opinion Which is sharing your links to other sites making videos more than 15 minutes Live-streaming small youtubers. I don't think we'll make it without live-streaming But I think I said everything that I had to in this video and I'm kind of proud of myself But I will leave this video here Please comment down below your opinions on the new policy changes at YouTube Let me know what you guys think how it is affecting you I really want to know more youtubers more small youtubers How they are doing now after it's been weeks since the announcement and I will see you guys in the next video Take care peace
