Hey, in this video, I'm going to be reviewing a number of UX design portfolios. I'm going to look at a different range of experience levels for UX designers, and I'm going to look at them from the perspective of a design firm looking to hire a UX designer. So as I'm talking about these portfolios, I'm going to be focusing entirely about how well the person was able to communicate the UX work that they did as opposed to the quality of the work itself. So maybe the work was great, but the person wasn't able to communicate it and that's going to be my focus because all I know is what I can see on the page. And I'm going to critique how well this person was able to communicate what they did before we get into it. If you have any questions or comments along the way, make sure to drop them in the comments section. And if you want us to review your own portfolio, make sure to put the link to that in the comments and maybe we'll feature it in a future video. If you'd like to get some very actionable tips and tricks about UI and UX design, make sure to subscribe to our free newsletter and the link to that is in the description below. So with that, let's dive into the first portfolio. So the first portfolio I'm going to be looking at is for MD if Tucker, probably pronouncing that wrong. Sorry, man. And this is a portfolio for someone based in Bangladesh, right? So I won't be able to take a look at everything that's on here, but for example, let's pick this one. It's called impact a crypto platform. So if I'm someone looking to hire a UX designer, I want to be able to see their thinking process. The last thing I want to see is just some pretty mockups of something because that won't tell me whether this person was able to solve a problem or not, or whether they just designed a bunch of nice looking screens or even copied them from somewhere. Right? So let's dive in and see what MD has here. Okay. So it starts off with challenges, which is good because when you're looking for a UX designer, you want to know that they can solve a product challenge, right? And so this has this at the top. Now it starts out a little bit talking about the industry in general, and it doesn't really give a very specific challenge, even though it has the red here, but that's a little bit too broad. So it says that crypto has a lot of people involved, you know, different ages and so on, but that's not a very specific challenge, I would say, and I would want to find out more. The good thing is that MD spells out the process that he used or the general steps. So he goes through research, sketches, wireframes and finding UX issues, right? And then he goes on to detail each one. So this is really good because we want to see the thinking process behind the portfolio. So I believe this project also included some branding and logo work. We're not going to focus on that in this video. We're just going to focus on the UX aspects, right? So if I scroll down here, so this includes a flow chart to the application, which I guess maybe sort of useful, but I wouldn't be really interested in it because I don't know if this flow chart makes sense or not as someone who is not familiar with the project, just looking to find out whether this person can be a good fit for UX designer. And so next, MD goes into the sketches and wireframes and an inspiration board. So this is he's just taking us through his process, then shows up the sign up screens, which if you're going to feature screens in your designs, I would skip the sign up screens, honestly, just because they're not that challenging. It's fairly well known how to design a good sign up flow. And I would instead focus on the core challenges, right? So you have to keep in mind that anyone browsing the portfolio will be browsing other portfolios if we're talking about someone looking to hire, right? And so I want to be able to browse really quickly. I want to be able to get the gist just from reading the headlines. And this portfolio is fairly long. And even though it shows that the person has put a lot of effort into it, which is good, it takes a little bit of time to find like the information that I'm looking for, which is can this person take a problem and analyze it and start to come up with solutions in a structured and reliable way. So then it goes on to show the dashboard screens and buying and selling screens. So this is all nice and well designed. It looks pretty, but I don't know if it functions as it should, right? So what MD didn't do in this case is present the different solutions that were explored and why, for example, a particular this particular solution was picked, right? Now, let's see if he talks about if these designs were tested in any way or validated. So it goes on through more flows, but and it goes through the mobile prototype as well with some animations, which is good. But one main critique is that this is just too long. You need to curate your portfolio to only give the information that the person looking at cares about. And just keep in mind that the person looking at this will not take like half an hour to dig into everything, right? Because you're not going to be the only designer out there being assessed for a particular role, which is the job of a portfolio in the end, right? And so this is just too long. Even if you worked really hard on a project, you cannot and should not put every screen that you worked on there. You need to curate, you need to tell a quick story to hit all the major points without having it be too long, right? And so even though this portfolio, specifically this case study here, looks very nice. The problem is that it's too long and is a little light on the details about how the problem solving happened and instead focuses a lot more on the visuals, which might look good, but I don't know if they performed well and I don't know what was the rationale for picking them. So it's not about me using this product. It's more about knowing the thinking process behind this product and knowing what difficult challenges did you face and how did you solve them? So my three tips for MD would be to shorten the portfolio down and curate more what you want to tell by showing this case study. And second would be to have a clearer definition of the challenge. It's good that the challenge section was the first section, but it lacked a little bit of detail. It didn't need to be longer. It just needed to be more specific. And the third tip would be to show whether or not these designs performed well and what you learn from the feedback that you gathered. And again, this is not a critique of the quality of the work. Maybe this app went on to be really, really good and to do great in the market. But I'm just assessing the communication skills of how the project is presented here. All right, moving on to the next portfolio, this one is by Sun Young Cho. So right off the bat, this is a very simple portfolio. It doesn't have any fancy layouts or anything like that, which is actually fine and even preferable in some cases because it shows that this person is not trying to be a little too showy or have the presentation cover up for any lack of problem solving skills, for example. But as a minor critique of how this is presented, I'd say the text is a little bit too long and if you're going to be applying for a UX design job, even if you're not going to be a visual designer or a graphic designer or anything like that, it's still good to have a good looking portfolio, even if it's kept very simple. So in this case, I would just make the whole page a little bit narrower so that on a big screen, it's easier to read the text because this is too long. Right. So let's get into what Sun has on here, right? So she has a few projects and this is, I think, the page for a specific project. So a nice thing that she does is that she says when this project took place. In this case, it was between 2017 and 2018. So you know that this person didn't work on something like 10 years ago. It is now applying for something new, right? And it shows some basic information about the project, which is good. And it spells out specifically what her role was in the project, which is very important because chances are for any project or any big project, you're going to be working with the team and it's important to separate what you did specifically from what other people you were working with did, right? And then she goes on to say what she accomplished, which is good, and spells out a fairly detailed design process. Well, this is really good to show, but we also don't know like if this been copy and pasted, right? So it's good to show like here's the process that I use, but then you need to back it up by talking about these steps, right? And then let's see if she does that here. So for research and sketches, she shows kind of initial sketches and then how those were turned into screens. That's always very nice to see. She also talks about here's the overall problem. Here's the general solution and she has a before and after screens, which is always very nice if you're working on an existing product and you can demonstrate very visually. So even if I'm going through this portfolio really quickly and I can see the before and after, I can immediately like with one second without having to read anything. So you're like, oh, OK, this is obviously an improvement, right? Now this I only wish that this image included a few annotations to say why something was changed so that not only maybe it looks better, but it also works better for a particular reason. And this doesn't do that, but it's still a very good step to include before and after. It also breaks down the solution into multiple steps and talks about specific challenges within the overall challenge, which is also very good and important. And then goes on to show more screens from the solution. I think this portfolio also suffers from being a little bit too long. But what I like here around the end is the design guidelines, right? So this shows me that the decisions made around the layout and the spacing were very conscious decision. This wasn't just a person quickly drawing shapes and like eyeballing it to see what looks better. Instead, they probably gave some thought or a lot of thought to the spacing here. And it also tells me that this person will know how to transition to work with a developer because they have all the information here that a developer would ask for in order to implement the design. So this is a very nice touch. Now, something else I wanted to highlight about Sun's portfolio here is alongside the project staff. She has a top she has something called one minute ideas. And these are just hobby and like tinkering ideas. They're just concepts, I believe that didn't necessarily come out or maybe they were explored, but the idea here is that this is just a playground. And this is really nice because it shows you what this person is interested in. It adds a little more personality because projects are usually a lot more about the client and the problem. And if you're going to be hiring someone to work at your company, you also want to know, is this a good fit for someone? Do they have interests that could work well with the team? And you just get a better feel for who that person is. So this is a very nice touch. If you can clearly separate out, hey, here are my hobby projects and here are my real projects. That's always nice to see. She even has videos that walk you through these concepts and explain them in more detail, which is very nice. So overall, for Sun, my main tips would be to make the portfolio look a little better to shorten down the case studies and highlight a little bit more because this was a redesign highlight why these changes were made visually. She showed the before and after, but didn't show exactly why, like in the image itself, these changes were made. But overall, this is very nice. And I would probably reach out to Sun and send her a message to see maybe if we want to have a call and then decide from that point if she's a good fit to hire. Because remember, that's all you need to do, right? Like your portfolio should be a teaser and it's not going to land you a job straight away. All it's going to do is move you to the next step so that the person looking at your portfolio reaches out to talk to you to want to learn more about you and see if you're a good fit. The final decision will not be made just based on a portfolio without ever talking to you and like immediately sending you like a job offer. Right? So all it needs to do is peak the interest of the person looking at it and say, like, I'd like to know more about this person and how they work. And this portfolio does that. All right. So next up, we're looking at the portfolio of Jimmy and Jimmy from Vancouver, Canada. And it says here on his portfolio that he has three years of experience in pushing pixels. Now, without going into anything else, I would really advise Jimmy to take that off because that's not a good thing to say about yourself. Typically, a pixel pusher is someone who only does the design and doesn't think about the problem solving as someone who just makes things pretty, right? So that's just a small comment before we get into the portfolio. So let's look at what Jimmy has here. It's something called culture like. So if we click on that, I like the layout of how everything is placed here. It's very clean and minimal. It's not too busy and lengthwise, I would say this is OK. It can probably be shorter, but it's not too long like the other ones that we looked at. And it's nice that at the top, he has kind of the basic information about the project and he has key contributions. Now, because he worked within a team, it's not clear whether these contributions are his or the teams in general that work on the project. But I would assume that they're his. It would be nice if he made that a little more explicit, though. So Jimmy also spells out the process that he used for the design, which is really good. Let's see if he talks about the different stages. And he has a little bit of introduction about the company that he worked with and the challenge, right? So one thing I would comment here, the challenge is describing the app in general. But I think later he says this, he spells out the specific challenge that he worked on. So it's a little bit misleading in the beginning. That wasn't the challenge that he's working on. He's working on a part of that, right? And then here it says that the product was already in testing. And so he and his team were going to work on a part of that project. And it's just better if designers are more clear and more upfront about what they did without shying away from it. Because if someone looking at portfolio feels like you're trying to make it sound like you did more than you actually did or try to make it fancier than what it is, then that might be an immediate signal to just stop looking at this profile and look at something else, right? But in this case, it's OK because he does make it clear that, hey, this product was already designed and that they were going to work on this specific piece, but it could be clearer. And then he goes on to detail the goals that they were shooting after with the design and what the learning were from user research. So this part is really nice because it shows that after they did the research phase, if we look here back at the process, so it says background research, then he goes on to say, like, what did they learn from the research? And he puts it in terms of insights and he puts the insights in the headings, right? So this is really nice because, like I said, a recruiter or a company looking to hire is going to want to look at a lot of options and want to be able to get most of the information very quickly. So without reading the details, I can see that here's insight one, insight two, and it says what the insight is right in the title. And it also says what the insight is and then how this was used in the app, right, like in the results section. So this is very nice. And then it has a section from findings to features. This is also really good because it shows how each stage transitions into the next and then how paper concepts were turned into prototypes. This is also very nice and you can see that it looks good. And this portfolio has what the previous two, I believe, were missing, which is talking about testing the design. So this says, does it actually work? And then it talks about the user testing and maybe some challenges that arise from the user testing, right? And then it goes on to say like now that we know that it works, we did some iteration on it and a few more details. At this point, I would probably just lose interest because I've already seen that this person knows how to lay out their thought process and has taken me through everything that they did. So I'd be interested in reaching out to this person to start a conversation because the portfolio looks good. They walked me exactly through what they did, the process, the challenges behind it, the insights that they found. They don't just it's not that they just went and did a bunch of research and then I don't know how useful that research was. It shows exactly how that research was used. So overall, this is a very good portfolio. Any suggestions I would make here would be minor. Again, it's always with the length thing. I think it's hard for people when they work hard on something to keep it short and try to figure out what are the most essential parts that they need to keep and then cut everything out. So my only advice to Jimmy would be to make the portfolio a little shorter. But otherwise, this is really good. And there's a trend here that you see from these three portfolios that we picked at random that they all tend to be a little too long. You got to keep in mind that anyone looking to hire is going to be looking at multiple options. They really want to see things quickly if you can put information into images and like headings so that the person can first decide based on the general structure, whether they want to read more like and read the text. Right. But don't make me read the text before deciding whether or not I should look at your portfolio in more detail. Right. So this is something really important to keep in mind. And it seems to be a trap that most designers, both juniors and experts fall into. So this would definitely be a key takeaway from this video. And for the final portfolio, we're going to be looking at. We're going to look at the portfolio of Anne Minkenberg. Anne is located in Germany and it's clear from her profile page here on Behance that she doesn't have a lot of projects. So I would assume that this is a junior designer. And she also said that in the form when she submitted her portfolio to us for a review. And so it's good to know that going in so that I keep that in mind. It's good even for someone to spell that out on their portfolio. Right.  And there are a lot of companies who are actually want to hire juniors, right? Because they're building out a design team and they can't hire a full team of senior designers for whatever reason or they like to train designers in house. So don't shy away. If you're a junior, you can just say that. And then the person reading your portfolio will not have very high expectations because they know that you haven't had the time to build the experience necessary to be a mid-level or senior. So let's dive into this case study from Anne and this one is called Nazal. So it has an overview at the top. It says that the client is a fictitious university project, which is really good that she says that at the top. It's fine to showcase fake projects if you don't have anything real to show. Of course, if you can be creative and find a way to do a real project, even for free, that would be really helpful. You can even say if you did it for free and be completely honest about it, rather than say that this was or kind of try to convey that this was a piece of paid work, but it's always good to see something that was real because then you can talk about it a lot more concretely and discuss it in more details and the thought process behind it. Whereas with a fictitious project like this, you're going to be probably a little lower on details. So here it says that this was a fictitious project for a university developed in eight weeks in a team. And Anne does say what her specific role was, which is good. So she did conceptual design, the style guide and the UI design, right? And then talks about the design process. Now, this could be better because it shows here identifying the problem. And right under it, it says ideation. So those should be two different steps. And it has ideation before research, which is not very typical. She doesn't explain why that process is the way it is. But it's still good that she showed which process she followed. Right. Then she talks about the ideation and the challenge all very briefly. I think this is OK, but if you're going to talk about something, you should have a purpose and why you needed to include that. Like, basically, why did you feel that this was so important for me or like anyone who's looking to hire you would want to know why is this important for us to know? Right. And then she goes on to talk about research. So the one comment I would have here is to use real device frames rather than try to make your design more attractive than it would be in the real world because you're using this device with very impossibly thin edges. And this device doesn't exist. So you're trying to cheat a little bit, right? And it's also just better if you use real device mock ups, if you're going to use them at all. So this is something that you can do very easily in any design tool that you're using. So if you're using it like Figma, you can say you're using an iPhone 10. And then you can take a screenshot of the prototype, which puts it in an iPhone 10 frame for you automatically, right? And that's just better than pretending you have this, you know, kind of a magical device that doesn't exist. So this project focuses on AR and what's missing from this is talking about how the AR design was done because AR design is still fairly new. And this doesn't really talk about how and tackled that challenge, right? Talking about the challenges of, you know, the design guidelines for AR not established, the tools for designing for it for AR is not or not established. And it would have been really interesting to see her talk about how she was able to get around these challenges and create something. So she obviously created something which helps people interact in an AR environment in nature. And that's all well and good. But it would have been very good to see, especially since she's a junior, more text about the thought process, right? So there's a balance to be struck between how long your portfolio is and how much detail you have. So the text needs to be short, but also communicate important points rather than, for example, what we have here is explaining the product itself, right? I'm not necessarily interested in the product like we saw from the first portfolio that was trying to sell us on the product. I'm more interested in how you tackle the challenges, how you translated things from a challenge to a solution concept and then to a design. And so if we keep scrolling down here, we'll see that she has a learning section at the end. But this learning section falls short of what I would expect to see in a section like this. She talks about what she could do in the future and something that she came across when researching called the fourth wall. But these are not interesting to me, right? Again, I would want to see the learnings in the headlines themselves. And this doesn't show me that. And also these learnings were not taken from her testing the designs. Because remember, when it comes to UX design, the research is part of it. The design of the screens is part of it. And also testing the designs is part of it. So I want to see the whole process and this doesn't have that. But as a junior, I can see that and put a lot of work into this page, into this case study. And if I were hiring a junior, I would probably message her to see if we could get on a call and I can find out a little bit more, see maybe if she can present her process a little better and ask her questions. But as far as junior portfolios go, this is good. It has some flaws in it that we pointed out. It's a little low on detail. There's a lot of scrolling and a lot of white space. And I would have preferred something more compact that gave me all the information that I needed to know without so much scrolling and to include a learning section that has the learnings from users to show that user testing was done. So this rounds off the portfolios that we wanted to take a look at in this video. So thank you so much to everyone that sent us their portfolio and we're open. To having us critique the portfolio. Again, this was a critique of how the projects were communicated rather than the visual design or the UX work that was done on the projects. It was a critique of how well the processes and the thinking behind them were communicated and we'd love to get more portfolios to maybe feature in future videos. So if you want us to consider your portfolio, make sure to post it in the comments to round off this video. I'm going to talk about a few general good guidelines for you to keep in mind when you're working on your portfolio. And I gathered these from the team at Agent Smart from very senior designers. And that's what they would like to see in a portfolio. So the first thing you need to think of when you're working on a portfolio is that you need to know how to structure information both visually and in text very well. It's all about the structure. I want to be able to see very quickly what you worked on and then decide if I want to find out more information. But just by looking at the overall structure, I need to be able to make a decision about whether or not this is worth pursuing further. Number two is whether or not you can communicate the challenges and the solution clearly. And this is something that we saw in the portfolios that we just looked at. Some people did it better than others, but your focus should really be on hitting these points when creating a portfolio, as opposed to like spending too much time on how good it looks visually. And one tip that might not occur to most designers is to have a PDF portfolio. The reason for that is that if you create something like a slide deck in like keynote or PowerPoint or just an A4 sized portfolio with a few pages, it's a much more curated experience because then the person looking at your portfolio doesn't have to navigate around a website and you've selected the best of your work. So you selected, you know, two or three pieces of work that you're really proud of that showcase the best of your work and people can go through these in order without having to worry about any navigation. It's also very useful for recruiters or companies to have just like a bunch of PDFs when they're narrowing things down and it's easier for sending around in the company, things like that. This is something that most people don't think about, but it's actually a very helpful thing for the company that's doing the hiring. And lastly, always make it very clear which contacts you were working with. So we saw in the portfolios that we looked at that people specified when they were working in a team, which is really good, but also make it really clear not just what the team worked on, but what you worked on specifically without boasting too much about how great of a designer you are. So if you keep these points in mind and try to learn from the portfolios that we looked at, you'll be able to create a good portfolio that's short, concise, demonstrates the points that someone looking to hire you wants to know. And remember the job of a portfolio is to get you to the next step in working with someone, whether it's freelance or hiring, and you just need to get to the point where they would message you or give you a call. And of course, it should be very easy to find out the contact information for someone to do that, right? So you don't need to talk about every little thing that you did. It should be a curated experience that can be done very quickly. I can take a look at your best work very quickly. And ideally, if I can have that as a PDF, it's very nice. You can email it around. I don't have to click into an external link and that will just make it more likely for someone looking to work with you to reach out and talk to you. So that's it for this video. Thank you so much for watching. I hope you found it helpful. And if you did, we'd love it if you would like and subscribe and hit the bell icon. We put out videos like this every week, and so you'll be the first to know.

So the English Premier League title race has been the gift that keeps on giving and defending depending on the team you call your own. This past weekend may have just been the gift you have never asked for. But in the case of Mariah Ramarack and the city fans all over the world they are back in the driver's seat. Both Liverpool and Arsenal were handed damaging losses at the weekend while the citizens notched a crucial win sending them to the top. That happened from Saturday. Let's have a quick look at the weekend results in the English Premier League. Newcastle four-nilover Tottenham jolting Tottenham's UCL qualification hopes, Brentford two-nilover Sheffield United, Luton beaten 5-1 by Manchester City, nothing enforced 2-2 with Wolves, Brighton 1-1 at Burnley, Bournemouth 2-2 against travelling Manchester United, Crystal Palace winning 1-0 at Liverpool, West Ham beaten at home by Fulham, Aston Villa two-nilover Arsenal, Chelsea six-nilover Everton that happened today. So based on these results we are looking at Manchester City top of the table on 73 points, two ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool who share second although Arsenal are ahead on goal difference of Liverpool, Aston Villa with their weekend victory moving up to 63 points Tottenham on 60 and losing ground, Newcastle on 50 points. So that's how the top six in the English Premier League, that's how they're setting up at the moment and here is Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp following the jolting 1-0 home defeat they had against Crystal Palace. We got because we were against the ball and absolute machine and that's what we have to be in that moment. We have the rhythm, we have the momentum in the game, it's difficult for the opponent they don't feel great, we feel much better and then we this boys can really play football today they showed that in a really difficult situation that they can do that and that was good but it doesn't feel great anyway now because we lost the game and we planned this day completely differently but here we are and now how is that we have to deal with that. Yeah so Liverpool are missing a lot of scoring opportunities there and suffering damaging won the loss. Now after being handed their first loss of 2024 the Arsenal boss Michael Arteta says now is the time for his team to rise to the occasion. And now is the moment to stand up as a leader, as a character to make yourself count because when you win and win and win and win and win and win and win and win for four months it's very very simple to do it, the moment is now we don't have any other solution if you want to win Champions League you want to be there in the Champions League when you have these moments you have to stand up even though that means that you don't have a quality that is very very necessary and now it's a big test for us. And from the Manchester City perspective Pep Guardiola says his players are relishing the pressure of the title race. They like to play the pressure they like to know is dead or alive so yeah they did it that doesn't mean we are going to do it but that we are there it will be dead until the end I'm pretty sure because I know them I see the faces before the game the meetings how they prepare that means win Premier League champ no I'm not saying that but that will compete that's for sure. Yes or football analyst Brent Sancho joins us now via zoom Brent this title race a cinema isn't it I want to say quickly though that while the Arsenal Liverpool losses this weekend were not expected Man City climbing to the top of the table isn't surprising because given what we've seen from this man City team in the recent past they show that they have the stomach for this kind of scenario. Yeah I like the phrases that you're using Lance the stomach for this type of thing they do and you know we talk so much about Arsenal's frailty now we're seeing some chinks in the arm of Liverpool who normally can't do well in these sorts of situations but when you juxtapose that against Manchester City a team that is built for these type of situation I've always said on this show I don't think people realize how difficult a task it is to keep winning the way Pep does I'm not just not just winning football games or eating out results but dominating football teams for 95% of the season and he would easily go down as one of the greatest managers of all time simply because of what he's been able to do but it's something that it is a characteristics of his team that we've seen since he's gotten into Manchester City and even before that is that they have what you call title credentials they understand the importance of executing when it matters and that's what makes Manchester City so special. Yeah I want to compare the two losses that Liverpool and Arsenal suffered the Arsenal loss given the fact that it's a top five team that had beaten them and a team challenging for a spot in Europe that may be regarded as a lesser of a surprise than the Crystal Palace result they got of the Liverpool because Crystal Palace are toward the bottom half of the table. Yeah I think when you start to take a deep dive into it and you move away from obviously the attributes that you need to win a title you look at the Liverpool loss they'll certainly look back at some of the missed chances that they had throughout the game and a lot of those chances we're going into the back of the net when you had the likes of the front three that they had before led by Salah who's not typically been up to his sharps up that he's been there and as we know his his challenges despite being a tremendous player in an asset for Liverpool he's just not seeing the frequency and potency that we've seen in the past when he had the likes as I mentioned Salah Bobby Firmino etc and Lucia so the goals that they normally get lands and they normally win them titles it's just not there for Liverpool but in the Arsenal situation it was it looks like a complete collapse in the second half I was looking at I was absolutely amazed to see a team that's challenging for a title yesterday they played against a top four or five team but I go back again to my comparisons of Manchester City when you are in these situations with the amount of games that are left in the season you find your championship medal and it just looked like the longer the game went on at Arsenal at the Emirates it just looked more and more likely that they were going to lose and that's a disappointing thing I think when our tether looks back at it he may look at it and think that something fell wrong within the team in the second half and then they go they didn't do have this difficult fixture against Bayern during the week here you just hope that the unraveling that we saw in the Villa game does not become something contagious and now plagues them with the running that they have. Yeah you know I listen to Pep Guardiola print and he says that Manchester City will be there at the end and he's very confident about that not saying that they will definitely win but they will be right there on the final day of the three teams which do you suspect if any at all might not be there at the very end. I think that's a good question and normally in these sorts of situations I would lead to Arsenal because I have been quite stiff on them for many for many years on this program but I just feel it's Liverpool and I'll tell you why because we've seen this deterioration you look at the Atalanta result yes I'll be it they didn't start a lot of their key figures but there was a deterioration there that is not symbolic with the Liverpool club team there was defensive priorities there was an absurdly a team that looked a bit clueless well in possession you didn't see the identity that's normally of course attributed to a club team throughout the minutes but it's not something that you know that happened in a one-off game it really started and I can go even further back some of the results that they escaped and they've got results here and they are draw here but that deterioration we've seen it now happening and I just wonder if this team could put the car in reverse and of course try to get out of this mud that they're stuck in but it's it's building it's going and it seems to be repetitive and I do I do wonder and fearful of a poor moving forward because again they have that difficult fixture against a very difficult Boogamo stadium in Atalanta and if that's another loss then it becomes almost the Alambels and Sirens ringing yeah right where is the deterioration happening for Liverpool I watched the game yesterday and I thought to myself on another day Liverpool could have won this by six goals to two as it turned out they lost it by a goal to Neil but um Diego Jota had an empty goal Mohamed Salah had opportunities um Jones one and one with the keeper Curtis Jones and he couldn't score Darwin Nunes he had opportunities as well so it's not as if they did not create chances they did and they should have won the game and I think club pointed at that in the press conference as well so I'm very interested to hear from you where exactly you think the deterioration is happening or is it a case of well yesterday it was the finishing but on other days it's the goalkeeper or maybe it's the midfield not coming to the party yeah and the wood the wood is sharpness the sharpness that we used to see it from the Liverpool team where they bury the but bury chances half chances uh etc but when you look at the Atalanta game and I go back to that as well you saw some of the defensive fruities and the sharpness the lack of a sharpness at the back we saw in the game against even against Palace there was a chance that of course uh Robinson had to clear off the line again that's the sharpness that we we used to see in defensively from Liverpool they did rear its head as well so throughout the game and I'm happy you mentioned goalkeepers as well that was a situation in the Atalanta game so the sharpness the overall sharpness that we see I mean add the word efficiency that we see with the Liverpool team especially when it comes to the business end of the season that's what we're talking about here the business end the end that wins you trophies is really lacking and I'm as I said I'm a bit surprised with that with the type of talent because when you look at the personnel it's not a lot of changes within the Liverpool team there's still there's still a lot of players that won a lot of trophies there but there's not much wrong with the way Klopp has set his team up there's a lot wrong with the individual sharpness that we have come so used to seeing when you talk about the Liverpool team yeah I want to talk a little bit about my favorite team in the English Premier League Arsenal we had quite a discussion a number of discussions last season Lance is over there greening from air to air and I don't know why but we had a number of discussions last season about Arsenal bottling it and you know I couldn't help after yesterday's defeat and I know that Lance pointed to the fact that they were going up against the top five team in Aston Villa but I think going into that one most people expected Arsenal to win that game then Liverpool lost and I can't help but think to myself that Liverpool losing and Arsenal getting into pole position and you now feel that your destiny is in your own hands might have affected the result of yesterday's match I don't know what you think Brent listen I appeared in the zone for so many years a lot of Arsenal fans here in Toronto Diego always give me a lot of flak and stick because I do use the word bottling it I do use the word and Arsenal winning mentality is not there I do use the words and sentences and phrases that Arsenal does not have a championship feel to them and I will continue to use it because it is very evident and the reason why I say what I say about Manchester City because they have given me evidence over the year that they are a championship team this Arsenal team and for the last couple of years they just don't give me that and you're right when you're playing you sit in that locker room you would know that Liverpool just just lost the game which gives you pole position to go to the top there's everything within you if you do have that championship metal if you do have that championship belief that this is a result that could possibly put you right in the path rate of going on to win in the Premiership what happens is they come out and give that performance against Villa yes I take credence to the fact that yes it's the Villa side that's had a phenomenal season but I will always ask the question if this was Manchester City playing against Villa at the Etihad I am very sure I know what the result would be simply because Manchester City has championship metal and Arsenal do it. Yeah I have to ask you this one as well Brent away from the tighter race Leon Bailey the Jamaican scoring for Aston Villa having come on as a second half for substitute how important do you think this goal was for him and generally that he continues to perform well at the back end of this season for Aston Villa especially in the aftermath of his recent interview where he suggested that he wouldn't mind going to a big four club and I know that his team came out and said well what you heard is not what he meant but the fact is it was still said a number of papers across the world picked that up but yesterday came on as a substitute and got another big goal because remember when Villa beat Manchester City earlier this season he scored as well listen one thing I know about sport once you're performing once you're hitting targets and once you're being a star nine times out of ten they forget you and some of your your your utterances in the media and that's what Leon Bailey needs to do and I will also say that I'm a bit surprised that he signed an extension at Villa because I do agree with him. I can see Leon Bailey moving to top four team because he has that sort of pedigree as a player and if you look at his stats if you look at his numbers if you look at his play at Villa I know most Jamaican fans might not agree because he has not performed significantly well at the national team level but if you look at what he's done and the body of work he's done at Aston Villa I can see him fitting into a team I can see him fitting into a top four team so it's important for him to keep getting these sorts of goals it's important to keep playing the way he has been playing at Aston Villa there's absolutely no one could come out and say that Leon Bailey has been a failure at Aston Villa because he's been far opposite to that I think he's been an absolute star he's been an integral part of what when I amry has been trying to do at Villa and he's been an impact player and as I said I finished what I started with I'm extremely surprised that he signed an extension at Villa because I felt that if he left it open I think suitors would have come in for him yeah but Brent isn't it a case though that we should be looking at it that Villa is now a top four team and could consistently be a top four team and so he's already operating in a top four team I think they have the possibility to be a top four team but you have to consistently yes because they are a top four team right now right now at the moment yes at the moment you have to take things into context of course that you've seen a bit of a drop-off from Spurs Manchester United still having their struggles and their problems yes but that's 10 years Brent that didn't start last month no it didn't start last month I'm glad you pointed that out but at some point we do hope for Manchester United to find their leg somewhere the point I'm making is like I'm not sure that Ashton but if you ask me right now with Ashton Villa is going to consistently be a top four team I would have to say no and I would have to stick with that because I just don't think they have built that way to be a top four team I think Unite Emory has a lot of credit to take in why they are where they are because I think he's a tactical genius but at some point next season I think teams are going to start to figure him out and situations may become a little bit difficult for Ashton Villa and again they may have to take on Champions League football next season can they operate with having two sets of two sets of plates of food on the table I'm not sure Brent we're out of time I don't know why the producer isn't wrapping us up he's enjoying our conversation so much but quick one are you a Manchester United fan? I don't know why you'd make such a pronouncement no it's a question I'm a Juventus fan and I stay well out of England because I've started watching football Italian football at a very young age never been pulled into the English system no it's just because you always say things like we need Manchester United to get back to the glory days can't wait for Manchester United we all want Manchester United to you had me a little bit confused it's starting to look like La Liga when there's only two teams we need more teams involved in the race like Ashton Villa we're out of time let's take a break we'll be back with more on the sports mic zone Mariah is next with the second zone update


An object of mass 10 kilograms, initially at rest, experiences a constant horizontal acceleration of 5 meters per second squared due to the action of a resultant force applied for 30 seconds. Determine the total amount of energy transferred by work in kilojoules. So I have an object that I will draw as a sphere-ish thing. And it would be reasonable for us to treat this mass as being a constant mass, so I will call it a control mass. Meaning I have a closed system, and I will call that initial position, state 1, and our process is going to be describing the movement of that object across the 32nd time period, and I will define the end of that 32nd time period as another state point, which I'm going to call 2. I know the mass is initially 10 kilograms, and if I make the assumption that it's a constant mass, then I would write m2 is equal to m1. And actually just for good measure, I will write that down. 1. Mass doesn't change. Probably could have written that as masses constant, or change in masses zero, and had to write fewer words, but we're not here to write fewer words. We're here to solve a problem, and that problem involves a change in velocity as well as a displacement. I know the velocity at the end of the process is going to be greater than it was at the state, at the initial state, and I could describe the duration here. It's bringing 30 seconds, and we want to know the work required to accomplish this process in kilojoules. There are basically two ways that we could approach this problem, and the difference between the two is really only a matter of perspective. The first way that we would approach it is probably the way that most students would approach this problem having just gotten out of a dynamics course. And we'll call that the dynamics perspective. We approach it by thinking about the work itself. In that work we have the integral of force with respect to displacement, and our force in this problem is going to be written as mass times acceleration, and our mass is constant because we've assumed it, and our acceleration is constant because we were told it's a constant horizontal acceleration. Therefore, my force is constant, and if force is constant it can come out of the integral, and we have force times delta x. And since I have mass and acceleration, I will just substitute those now. Mass, which I know, multiplied by acceleration, which I know, multiplied by our displacement, which we don't know. But we can determine that. We've been studying kinematics for a while now, and we know our velocity is defined as a change in position with respect to time, so I could write dx as v dt and integrate both sides. The left hand side is just delta x, and the right hand side we have to actually evaluate because our velocity is changing. So for that I will step to our acceleration definition. The acceleration is the thing that allows us to figure out how much the velocity changes, and we know it's defined as a change in velocity with respect to time. So that I could write as dv is equal to adt, and when I integrate both sides here, I have delta v is equal to acceleration because it comes out because it's constant for this problem times duration. And this could be written for this problem as a velocity at any point in time, and that velocity at any point in time, by the way I'm doing that because the velocity at the initial state is zero, so delta v is really just the velocity at the time that you're considering is equal to acceleration times time. Then when I plug that in over here, velocity as a function of time is equal to acceleration times time, so this becomes an integral of acceleration times time dt from t1 to t2. Then acceleration comes out of the integral because it's still constant in this problem, and I have the acceleration times the integral of time with respect to time from t1 to t2, and that integral simplifies to 1 over 2 times time squared. Not sure why I said that so bizarrely, but here we are, evaluated from t1 to t2. So acceleration times 1 half times our time to squared minus time 1 squared. The initial time for this is zero because I'm describing t2 as an amount of time that has elapsed since the initial time, so everything's described in terms of time as relative to the beginning of the process, therefore t2 is really just the time at the end which is delta t. So acceleration times 1 half times delta t squared. And now that I've written that out, that representation of displacement, I can plug it into our work equation, and that would be mass times acceleration times acceleration times 1 half times, here I'll zoom in so that's a little bit better quality handwriting, times acceleration times 1 half, see better quality handwriting, times displacement squared. And I will write that as 1 half times mass times acceleration squared times duration squared. We know the mass, we know the acceleration, we know the duration, so now it's just a matter of computing a result. So I will take 1 half times our mass, which was 10 kilograms, question mark? Yes, it was 10 kilograms. And our acceleration, which was 5 meters per second squared, hope this isn't too nauseating for those of you following the scrolling, that was 5 meters per second squared. And I'm taking that quantity squared. So I'm taking 5 meters per second squared, which I will write as 5 squared meters squared, and then seconds squared squared, right? So seconds to the fourth. And then I'm multiplying by duration, which was 30 squared seconds squared. So seconds squared are going to cancel two of the seconds in the denominator, and I'm going to have kilogram meter per meter squared per second squared, which is all well and good, but I wanted kilojoules. So because my destination is kilojoules, and because I encourage you to get into the habit of starting at your destination and working backwards, breaking things down into their primary dimensions until things start canceling, let's do it that way. I will start with a kilojoule and recognize that that could be written as a thousand joules. And a joule is defined as a Newton meter, and a Newton is a kilogram meter per second squared. Now joule cancels joules, Newton cancels newtons, kilogram cancels kilograms, meter squared cancels meters and meters, second squared and second squared cancels seconds to the fourth, leaving me with kilojoules. So if I pop up our friendly neighborhood calculator here and try to get it to wake up, thank you calculator, and I take 0.5 times 10 times 5 squared, I'll put that into parentheses, 5 carat 2 times 30 carat 2 divided by 1000, I get 112.5 kilojoules. So looking at this by the work perspective, the work associated would be 112.5 kilojoules. That's option one. And it's perfectly fine. In this problem, we have, we actually have the option of approaching it from either perspective. The other perspective would be the thermodynamics perspective. And in a thermodynamics perspective, we are going to apply an energy balance. I know it is very exciting. The energy balance is going to relate how much energy is required to accomplish the thing that you want to how that energy is described when it's coming in. So I am going to write this as delta u plus delta k e plus delta p e on the left. And that static energy of the system is going to be related to energy in and energy out. Because I have a closed system, because we have a control mass, it's constant mass, I'm going to say e in could be q in and or work in. And e out could be q out and or work out. I am going to recognize that I have no change in potential energy. That's not even an assumption that we have to make because we were told it's horizontal acceleration. And I'm going to assume there are no changes in internal energy. Because we were given no indication as to anything meaningful about the possibility of the internal energy changing. It doesn't say the ball is initially at 20 degrees Celsius and ends at 22 degrees Celsius or something like that. But the ball starts to melt as it goes through a process. So I'll write that down as an assumption. Delta u is zero. And while we're at it, let's throw in no heat transfer. If there's no heat transfer, I can write that as adiabatic. Remember that adiabatic is a word that means no heat transfer. And then I'm going to only consider one work. Why only one work? Because there's only one opportunity for work here. It's the opportunity to change the kinetic energy. You could also think of this as like a network. You can describe this as a network in doesn't really matter. You could either call it a network in or just get rid of a workout and call it a work in because we have no opportunity to describe a workout. So the work in must be equal to the change in kinetic energy of our system. So work in is going to be kinetic energy 2 minus kinetic energy 1. And remember that the total kinetic energy of a system is going to be represented as one half times mass times velocity squared, that would be at state 2 minus one half, one half times mass one times velocity one squared. And velocity one was zero. So this really is just one half times the mass because it's a constant mass. We've already assumed that times the velocity at the end squared. So we know mass, but we don't know velocity. What to do about that? Well, we don't know the velocity, but we do know the acceleration. So we could take the same kinematic approach to describing velocity. I could say the acceleration here is going to be dv dt. Therefore, dv integrated going to be the integral of a dt. Therefore, delta v is equal to acceleration comes out of the integral because it's constant times the integral of dt, which is acceleration times duration. And this is v2 minus v1, which I'm calling zero. Therefore, v2 is equal to acceleration times delta time. So we could calculate a number or we could plug it in symbolically, at which point I have one half times acceleration times, excuse me, got a little bit ahead of myself, one half times mass times acceleration times duration quantity squared, which you know, just for convenience, I could write as one half. Maybe I could write it one half times mass times acceleration squared times duration squared. And hey, we have the same equation. Isn't that neat? Huh. Well, I could plug in all my numbers here and get the exact same answer. I wish we could point out that we have the same answer. Or if I wanted to be just a little bit more, I don't know, interesting with our second approach here, maybe just for fun's easier, I'll actually calculate a velocity state too. So calculator five meters per second squared multiplied by 30 seconds. Seconds are going to cancel leaving me with a quantity in meters per second. That's 150 meters per second. So I could say 0.5. Again, this is purposely inefficient just to calculate it another way. One half times 10 kilograms times 150 meters per second. And that's squared. It's 150 squared meter squared per second squared. And I have the exact same unit conversion as earlier because I'm describing kilograms meters squared per second squared. So I know that in order to get to the quantity that I want, I'm going to have to divide by 1000. And if I take 0.5 times 10 times 150 squared divided by 1000. That's a big number. Oh, great, because I took 150 raised to the fifth. Okay, let's try that again. Hey, look, it's gone. It never happened. Hey, we got 112.5 kilojoules. Interesting, right? Right. So the point here is that we can look at how much work is required to accomplish a change in kinetic energy and say that that work is the amount of work that's required or we can look at the amount of work actually associated with this process. And in this problem, because there was only a change in kinetic energy and a work, those two approaches are just as convenient and don't make a difference in terms of our calculation. You could think of this like if I were to go buy five standard t-shirts and I know that they cost $100 a piece and I wanted to know how much money was required to accomplish that transaction. Let's assume that there's no tax. I could either determine the price of a single standard t-shirt and multiply by five because I calculated all five or I could look at the amount in my wallet at the beginning of the process and look at the amount in my wallet at the end of the process. That's the distinction between these two analyses. And the reason that the distinction is important is because what if there isn't just kinetic energy and work happening, right? What if we had, I don't know, a heat transfer term or we had a change in potential energy as well, we could calculate the work that work associated with this process and plug that into my energy balance to calculate something else. If I had a change in kinetic energy and a heat transfer term and a work term, the energy balance alone would have one equation and two unknowns. So the definition of work would give me one of my unknowns. Does that logic make sense?


A new Stanford study just confirmed that men and women's brains do in fact work differently. So it's not your boyfriend's fault he can't find the ketchup in the fridge, he's just built that way. They found that hotspot areas of the brain, including one that deals with memory, actually had different activity in men and women. Other studies have found that women have better verbal based memories, can access them faster, date them more precisely, and recall stories better. While men have better spatial awareness. So I guess we can still let them navigate.


What's going on everybody? Got Kyle and Sean here with Leighton Sports Cards and we are ripping. We've got one box of Inception Baseball. This one's gonna be for Nicholas Beat. Good luck, good luck. Let's see it, 2023 Inception. Good luck, Nicholas. Again, no queue after this guys, maybe wants to get something going. Just a couple minutes and get it going for you guys. I know, it was a little while, man. It was a little while. It was loud though, like it was louder than, if you had your speakers set at a certain level, it was louder than that. It like tripled your audio. I don't know how that's even possible, but it did that. There's a Clayton Kershaw Green. Where the Dodgers. We got a Green J-Ramp. The Guardians. And we got a Shintaro Fujinami. We literally thought, like me and Sap thought we like sat on the controller or something and the volume was shooting up. But it was also like a robotic Megatron noise, so I don't know. It wasn't good, either way. Kate Cavalli-Rookie, Shane Bieber, and Corey Segerbates. And on the back we have an RPA. This one's going to be the 149, a Derek Hall. RPA there for Philly. The Philly's on the Player Warrant Men. Philly's. Derek Hall on the RPA. Alrighty there, Mr. Nicholas. That'll do it for your one box of Inception Baseball. Thank you so much, my man. We'll get it right out to you.


The nail she drove into our oldest tree, was the final nail to her coffin. If you like true revenge stories, you found the best place for your vengeful needs. In this episode, it seems that you might want to keep your enemies closer, ideally as your neighbors. We start off with a neighbor douche that damages the car of a decorated war hero, a peach-loving neighborhood disrupted by a Karen. Followed by a psycho neighbor resorting to violence. Lastly, two bad roommates versus one vengeful spirit. Let's dive in. Naturally, viewer discretion is advised. These revenge acts might be disturbing to snowflakes. Back in 1991, my dad bought my mom a brand new Chevy Caprice.  It was white, with fake mesh wheels and white wall tires. My mother loved it. She had it two weeks and kept it parked in front of our house in Southern California. The guy across the street was a contractor. Back in 1991, that basically meant shady douchebag that hired illegals that stood outside Home Depot.  They were doing some stucco work. At the end of the day, his workers decided to just dump the leftover stucco in the gutter and try to hose it down the street. It got all over my mom's tires. She didn't notice, drove off and it went all over the passenger side of her car. My dad wasn't happy. Not one bit. He went across the street to talk to the contractor neighbor. My dad is a 6 feet 3 inches Air Force Vietnam Purple Heart recipient. He has fired a weapon in anger before. Neighbor was a 5 feet 4 inches douche with an attitude. Dad goes over and explain the situation, actually keeping his calm. He asked the guy to have the stucco removed from the car. The neighbor tells my dad to go freak himself.  Instead, he says, okay. And walks back across the street. He has my mom's car detailed, and that's that. Seven years later. My dad and I are watching a Laker game, and it's about 10 at night and it's half time. My dad says, I will be right back. He walks out of the house, goes into the garage and gets two one gallon buckets of paint. He walks across the street and dumps it all over the neighbor's brand new BMW convertible. The neighbor had left the top down, because it was in May and the weather was nice in Southern California. So, the entire outside and inside of the BMW is now covered in paint. My dad walks back, puts the paint cans back in the garage, closes the door, and comes back to watch the rest of the game. The next morning, douche neighbor comes out and sees his car. We hear him saying out loud to his wife, I don't understand who would have done this. I don't get this at all. He had forgotten all about the stucco. My dad just waited and waited. Fast forward to now.  I found his hubcap in the road next to my dog and confronted him. Oh, I thought it was a deer. The person who hit my dog did so with his work van. I must render it an operable so his business takes a hit. I am waiting for a really nice day. The paint is ready in my basement. Well, let's start a few years in the past. My great-grandparents planted an orchard, it is now at least 120 years old. My grandparents and my parents were really proud of the peach trees growing in it and did their best to keep them in good health and well. We always threw a big party when the peaches were ready to be harvested and invited all of our friends and neighbors to it. I loved those parties. The neighbors on the property to the south of our orchard were particularly fond of our peaches. They were a bunch of fine old people and me and the old man, named Sam, were pretty good friends. He taught me a lot about woodworking with hand tools and we had some great evenings in his workshop. We finished many a good whiskeys in there together. In return he got a lot of fine peaches, marmalade, homemade peach liqueur, etc. Sadly he died a good 10 years ago, cancerous crap. His wife followed soon after, many suspected it was of a broken heart. They had no kids, so all of their property was left to the state, except his tools and whisky collection, which he had gifted me a few weeks before he died. In comes Karen. The name speaks for itself. Haircut, attitude, skankiness. The whole deal. She bought the property of my late neighbors. We hadn't had the kind of money to buy it at that time, as we had met some dire straits the years before and all our savings were gone. The first thing she did, before she actually moved in, was to go round and making demands of the neighbors on the surrounding properties. When it was finally our turn to listen to her gibberish, she told us that we needed to remove half of the trees, as the leaves were blowing on her property. We told her in a polite way, that we won't comply to her demands as the orchard is a vital part of our family heritage, tradition, life in the neighborhood and it has been there for at least 120 years. She was pretty pissed, but did nothing for the time being. There are some things you need to know before I continue with the story. The workshop I mentioned before, was situated right at the border to our property. It was a small timber framed building, at least 160 to 180 years old. The regulations in my state are pretty strict concerning old structures. Every structure over 100 years is protected and you need a special permission to tear it down. Failing to get this permission can lead to a hefty fine. To get the permission to build a new building, it has to be up to code and you have to ask your surrounding neighbors and if they agree, you're good to go. Except there is one specialty in my county. You have to keep a certain distance to the border of the property to allow emergency services full access to your property. If one of these requirements isn't met, the building is illegal or at least only partially legal and can actually be ordered by court to be torn down. That might come in handy later. So, back to my Karen. After our first encounter with her, she did her best to pester the whole neighborhood. She actually got the neighbor's dog put down, because he allegedly attacked her. It later turned out she faked the attack. The dog was the sweetest and most innocent dog you could imagine. A Bernese mountain dog, big but a real teddy bear. Anyways, she later got us to stop doing our annual peach parties, as she called the police every time for various reasons.  She called the ATF on us, allegedly making moonshine, but my dad had a license to distill for our own consumption. In short, she was a real pain in the bum bum that after three years we decided it wasn't worth it to deal with various officers and law enforcement agencies every time we threw the party and we decided to quit. After she had reached this goal, she resorted to pestering us to remove the orchard. We didn't cave in and some things started to get really fishy. Somehow the tires of our trucks got slashed, eggs got thrown on our farmhouse, our cat disappeared and surfaced a few days later in pretty rough condition.  Don't worry, he healed up completely, but we actually couldn't prove that she did all that. Then came the day she made her biggest mistake. She had a company come in, in a sort of secret operation and tear down the old woodworking workshop overnight. Two days later, they started building a big garage right where the shop was, but she missed one fine detail, which got pretty important later on. She didn't ask for our permission, nor for the neighbors. A short while after, the trees right next to her property started to get sick. The leaves turned brown in the middle of summer, and the branches started to die. We lost four trees, before we figured out the cause. Somebody had driven long copper nails into them. We had a suspicion, but we couldn't prove it. So we put up some trail cameras. Perfectly legal, as it was on our own property. We caught her red-handed. My dad confronted her, she apologized and my dad, being the way too nice guy he is, wanted to let her get off the hook. But not me. The nail she drove into our oldest tree was the final nail to her coffin. I started to investigate. I had some friends at the administration of our county and asked them to do some inquiries. Turned out she hasn't applied for permission to tear down the old shop, nor for permission to build a new building. I further did some inquiries on the border line of our property. Turned out, the old markers vanished over time and her building was about three feet on our property. After I had gathered all this information, I presented it to my parents. At first they were reluctant as they didn't want to start a neighborhood clash. But after I recalled all the things she did to us and our neighbors, they were in. So let the games begin. First we called the authorities on her for tearing down a protected building and presented them with all the evidence we gathered. Then we called the building authorities on her for building a building without permission, not up to code, and not only didn't she keep the required distance to the property border, she also built on our property without our permission. Long story short, turned out the workshop hasn't only been protected because of its age, but also because it was a historical landmark, which played a vital role in a conflict back in the 1860s. She got sued for this, and had to pay a fine of an equivalent of about $150,000. She further had to demolish her newly built building, costing an additional $50,000, got fined for this too, about $83,000, and had to rebuild the workshop on her own expense, which was another whopping $154,000, as it had to be period correct up to the smallest detail. Means it had to be built with the correct materials, with hand tools only and to the correct dimensions.  So, all in all, it cost her an equivalent of $437,000 plus further expenses as lawyers etc. This caused her to go bankrupt, so she had to sell the property in the end, which my parents bought, by the way. Last I heard of her was that she moved back to the big city. Buckle up for this one, this is how we got our neighbors evicted. My wife and I live in a townhouse complex. For anyone outside of my country, it's like a row of houses in a gated community. Our complex has three rows with six houses and one row with five, need room for that community pool. The two evil neighbors in question lived across from us, the one right across from us was unit 10 and the one to their right was unit 11. What you need to know is the driveway separating each of the rows. It's wide enough to fit two cars just enough. If both cars traveling slowly they can pass each other with ease. When they first moved in we got along okay with them. I even played games with their kids, three each per unit. When walking past to my house from the car park. I thought they were good families as when the kids did something like kick balls at our wall and not stop, I would tell the parents and the kids got punished. I explained this cause in just one day they went from a nice family to assaulting my wife. We came home from the movies one night. Another neighbor of ours made it to the driveway before us so he was first. The people in number 10, whom I will now refer to as psycho biatch and bumhole husband had their family van parked out front of their house across from my house. Kids were getting in and out of the van while psycho was keeping an eye on things. Our other neighbor who lives on our side of the complex right next to us moved his car slowly past psycho in the van first. We will call him nice neighbor for now. When nice neighbor slowly moved past the van there was no problem at all. My wife was right behind nice neighbor and did the exact same thing. Slowly moved her car past in full view of psycho biatch. The strange thing is that nothing happened. My wife made it past without even a glare. I got out and opened the garage door for her to park the car.  She barged into our garage right past me and banged on the driver's side window to the point my wife had to roll the window down or psycho would have broken it.  I want to point out that from the time my wife passed the van till the time psycho came raging over was two minutes. Why didn't she blame nice neighbor and why didn't she say anything as my wife moved the car past the van? It's like the worst delayed reaction in history and to this day we still don't know the real reason they had it out for my wife and I. If the real reason was running over the kids, psycho would have been in nice neighbor's face or in my wife's face while she moved the car past the van. My wife felt cornered and scared and I was about to drag psycho out of our garage when bumhole came storming over and threatened me to not touch his wife. So I had to leave my wife cornered and defenseless as to hold off bumhole husband in the driveway. After a few minutes of screaming at my wife, psycho went too far.  That was the last draw for me as my adrenaline kicked in. I'm not a violent guy. I like to think I'm normally smart by having a policy of the best defenses to not get into a fight in the first place. I stormed over to psycho but bumhole grabbed my shoulder from behind and demanded to know where I was going.  I grabbed psycho from behind as she was still wailing on my wife and threw her to the ground outside of our garage. I told them to get lost and leave us alone. We went inside and called the police to file a report. The police took notes and photos, I even said I punched bumhole in defense of my wife, I got nothing to hide. The police didn't do much apart from take notes and that was it. The Jekyll and Hyde 180 they pulled on us from good neighbors to assaulting my wife, really took us by surprise. In the weeks and months that followed we got insults, glaring and threats from units 10 and 11 as 11 joined their friends in condemning us. Most others in the complex took our side as they either saw or heard what happened. One thing was clear, units 10 and 11 had to go, we own our house and we aren't up and leaving our lives cause psycho wants to start drama with us. First I called the managers of the complex, a corporation, and filed a report about both 10 and 11, showcasing all our documented proof of the harassment and threats towards us. Next I talked to their landlord who owned units 10 and 11 and about five other houses in the complex as he is a good friend. He seemed concerned but not enough to kick them out, guess he really wants rent payments. So I decided to get rid of them myself. First I found their wifi network and before I shut them out of it I got their email address, then locked them out of their own internet connection. I had their phone number from when we were good neighbors and got myself a burner phone. I signed them up for every spam email I could find, order takeout to be paid for on delivery every night of the week. I made sure their mailbox was stuffed with advertising, I even had men knocking on the door for promised fun only to leave angry and had them at each other's throats. I made sure their phone was ringing at all hours of the night, they even threw the phone out the window. As a final favor, I had a friend who runs a dog washing business come around pretending they booked her. When they explained they had no dogs and told her to frick off, she finally understood what we've been dealing with. They kept berating her to leave throwing and racial slurs, bad idea. She took out the hose meant to wash the dogs and sprayed psycho, bumhole and all over their carpet. I think they finally got the hint and moved out only a month later, number 11 followed them a few weeks after. The entire complex had a huge pool party and celebration. But I wasn't going to let them off that easy, that psycho wailed on my wife for no good reason, prepared to lose it all. From when we're on good terms with terms with psycho and bumhole, I knew they were on temporary visas while trying to apply for permanent residency. I made sure to mention to immigration where they had moved to. Thanks friends in the rental market, and handed over the police report of them assaulting us in our own home for no good reason. Seems psycho didn't make her own police report so ours was the be all end all, and was enough to get them kicked out of the country. I know the country they come from, it's hard to get work, why a lot of people from that country move here. I feel zero remorse booting them out, zero, zip, nada. Long wind up, revenge at the end. So basically, I moved into a two bedroom apartment two months ago with Sarah and Jessica. Now, Sarah is on the lease, Jessica is Sarah's girlfriend and isn't on the lease. I pay 50%, Sarah pays 25% and Jessica pays 25% of rent. Not my ideal situation, but I was desperate for roommates at the time. Fast forward two months, there are enormous slobs who never do anything so I clean up after them all the time. I vacuum the living room, mop the kitchen, do dishes, etc. I buy most of the shared groceries and household items, which the two of them plow through really quickly. Sarah has a cat in the apartment which is unauthorized, and regularly has an unauthorized dog here too. Their rent is paid late in utilities on the last possible day. Also, the girl smoke copious amounts of weed and while I don't care, I ask them to be respectful enough to air out the apartment and keep the smoke out of my room. Now last week due to Go's south, Sarah and Jessica overheard me bitching about having to clean up after them and after ignoring me for a few days, sent me a long text about how rude they considered that, etc. So I let out everything that was bothering me, and told them that if they don't want to live with me, I'll gladly release them from the lease, repay the deposit, and they can go. This causes them to freak out and they tell me, it's two against one, we will force you to move.  I block them on all forms of social media and means of communication. The next day, I went down to the apartment managers and reported the two unauthorized pets and the unauthorized occupant. Written notices were given, Sarah and Jessica threw them straight in the trash. I returned from a four day stay at my dad's and go straight to report the unauthorized occupant Jessica, who has already once been asked to leave, and both unauthorized pets which were supposed to be gone by now. Well, at this point Sarah and Jessica are getting pissed off. Jessica screams obscenities at me anytime I enter or leave my bedroom. Twice she spent half hour period pounding on my door in the walls of my room. She taunts me through the door trying to get me to open up. All of this is being quietly recorded on my phone while I still haven't said a word. So yesterday, I went back down to the office to finish securing my new apartment and to report more violations. When I came home, the chain lock was locked so I had no way to get in. This is what I had been waiting for.  Being go.  Come Monday, I'll be on my way to the prosecutor's office to press charges. The apartment managers will also be getting a copy of this report. Also, tomorrow is the last day to pay rent before it's late. Sarah and Jessica disappeared early this morning. If they don't pay rent I'm gonna get them on the abandonment clause, finally get them evicted, and have the locks change. All before I move out tomorrow. It's two against one? Think again.

How's it going guys? Welcome back to another JHR review. And today we have another pair of Solion headphones. Now these ones are a little bit different. If we turn around the side, these ones right here are actually supposed to be RGB and light up. My previous pair that I reviewed didn't have any of the kind of bells and whistles in there, but I really enjoyed the quality and the comfort, so I'm really excited to try this out. Let's go ahead and zoom in right here at the bottom and see some of the details about the headset. So right here it says plush memory foam ear pads, clear and loud noise canceling microphone, and then virtual 7.1 stereo surround. So it pretty much has the same as the last one when it comes to like specs, but let's open this up and see how these lights look on here. I'm really excited to kind of test that out. So let's go ahead and slide this off. Right here we're greeted with a nice kind of lion. I guess you'd say we're in sunglasses or it could be a Camaro honestly. It looks like it might have goat horns. And the other side is black. And let's go ahead and lay this down kind of like a shoebox. Slide that up. And if we rotate this over here you get a really nice view of the headphones. So this is basically how the other ones were packaged. Let's get a really nice zoom in on that. So they have really nice plush kind of soft feel to them. If you notice when I press down it kind of slowly goes back to its original position. That's because it is a genuine genuine memory foam. Look at me I'm all tongue-tied from trying to sound smart. Anyways let's go ahead and pull these out. Alright so the first thing I noticed while pulling these out of here is this is an exclusive USB only headset which I honestly don't mind at all. I really think that the single USB is a lot better than it if it had like you know multiple things sticking out of it. So I'm actually kind of excited and yeah. So the design is relatively the same. It still has that nice kind of speaker grill. Let's go ahead and zoom in on that. So the speaker grill is basically the same. Made out of metal. The logo is actually still pretty nice. I like the design of it. And if we look over here move that out of the way a little bit. We have the inside mesh area has a really soft you know if you can see I'm pressing down on it. It actually has foam in there and it's really comfortable from the last pair I've tried. I'm gonna try these ones on right now too. So I'm gonna let you know if it feels as good as the last pair. Oh yeah these are really nice. The comfortability alone is just insane. I'll take them off. So I'm gonna go ahead and plug these into the keyboard on my computer real quick and see how that RGB lighting is looking. Alright I went ahead and plug them in. And it pulsates on the side a really nice RGB color. And then the microphone itself right here has a nice little light on it. And it also comes with a little pad. So if you want to put this on here for you know if you have like any Puzz or S noises and you want it to sound a little bit nicer you put that on there. Kind of defeats the LED a little bit you can still see it. But let's go ahead and zoom in on here real quick and see how nice these lights are. Look at that. I like how the LEDs are like kind of like a little strip and it just goes around 360. But yeah these are really comfortable and the LEDs look great. I'm really excited to own these. I'm gonna put a little bit of no copyright music on and test out the audio quality before ending the video. So let's go ahead and hear that. Alright let's try these on. Now that we got some music playing. Yeah that sounds really good. There we go. Let's go ahead and turn that music off now. So as you can hear the tempo and bass quality in these are just as exceptional as the last pair that I reviewed. And honestly I'm really happy that this is just the RGB. You also have the option to turn off the mic right here I guess. And obviously you know the standard volume control on the actual headset. But I'm really surprised honestly like for the price of these headphones the quality is what I would say a 100 plus dollar headset would have. But yeah a huge shout out to my Patreons. Thank you guys so much for your support. You guys are awesome. If you enjoyed this video don't forget to comment rate and subscribe. And as always I'll see you in the next video.


Welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the stocks. What should I thought? Look at the QQQs. Nice call here. I made in the market that we would break brand new all-time highs sometime in the first half of the year, but we did it in the QQQs today. So again, this is a an ETF for the market. One of the ones that I look at and this is good because it has a hundred different symbols in it. Whereas the Dow only has 30 or the diamonds which is ETF for the Dow. So that's the reason that I like to look at this or the spy which again is ETF for the SMP more so than the diamonds again, which is the ETF for the Dow. But anyways, looking at this, this ran up today hit basically 187.93 almost at 188 and then we fell. So again, it's a holiday week to say that we would do this and gap up on a holiday week for no reason at all is a good sign of the bullishness of the market. Now, a question is where do I go from here? Because we got Wednesday Thursday market close Friday. I think it's going to be really low trading volume tomorrow. One more day really left in the week and where could the market go from here?  So I wouldn't have any high expectations for a big move in the market Thursday. I could be wrong. There could be a huge mark with the market Thursday. But I think really with the drop off today and the selling that came in over the high, you're not going to see much going on tomorrow. Next week is the week to watch. And again, Ernie season has started. A lot of big names reporting the next couple of weeks and very excited to see where we go from here. Good luck everyone and have a happy holiday week. Happy Easter. Happy Passover to you and have a great, great long weekend. And if you're interested in my class, email me at Melissa at the stocks wish.com
