Hi everyone and welcome to this introduction to SOAS University of London. This presentation is designed for school and college students who are thinking about options for the future and possible university choices. My name is Laura and I am a UK and EU student recruitment officer here at SOAS. So this presentation will give an introduction to us, but SOAS is basically a specialist university offering humanities, social science and language programs, taught from a global perspective and focusing on the regions of Africa, Asia and the Near and Middle East specifically. And I will go on to talk a little bit more about our courses and the university in this short presentation. So to start I'll give you an overview of what SOAS is like as a place to study. So we're a comparably small university. We've got just over 6,000 students on our campus and we're based in the heart of London's Bloomsbury area. So our size adds to our very friendly community atmosphere where you get to know other students and staff really well. And we have a very diverse and very international student population. So just over half of our students are from overseas from around about 135 different countries. And this makes SOAS a really interesting place to study as it's a real melting pot of cultures with our students bringing lots of perspectives and different experiences to discussions both inside and outside classroom. And because of this international student body, students can also make a real network of friends from across the globe. So our degrees are very flexible with lots of combined degrees available and options for language study. And we were in the top 50 world universities for Arts and Humanities in the QS 2020 World Rankings. So moving on then to have a look at some of the undergraduate degree programs we offer at SOAS. Here are our general subject areas at undergraduate level. So we offer more regionally and culturally focused degrees. So for example, a BA in East Asian Studies or a BA in languages and cultures. And on these programs, students can tailor their degrees to the regions that are interested in looking at by taking modules related to the languages, the history, the music, the politics and lots of other aspects of culture in those regions. And other programs are more discipline focused. So for example, History of Art, Economic, Law, World Philosophies. And these focus on particular subjects that allow students to look at particular regions or things in the modules that they choose. And we also teach many different African Asian and Middle Eastern languages within our programs. So these can be taught from beginner level or from a more advanced level if a student already has some experience in the language. And languages as a main component in your degree often involve the opportunity to study abroad for a year. And that's generally in the third year of what becomes a four years of degree program is a language as a main component. So most of our degrees can also be combined with other subjects and languages. And this is a popular option for our students. And our most flexible and open degrees are the Global Liberal Arts and the Creative Arts programs with many of the modules that are available across our undergraduate curriculum, available on these particular programs for students who have multiple interests. And we also have a foundation year in Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities and another one in Business, Management, Economics and Law. And these programs are designed for students who perhaps don't meet the grades for direct entry or who would just benefit from an additional year of study before beginning their main degree program. So moving on now to talk a little bit about our location in London. So as you can see on the map there, we're very centrally located in London in a lovely area of London called Loomsbury, which is very leafy and green with lots of parks and squares around. We're also very easily located within easy reach of lots of transport. So we've got about five or six different tube stations within a five to 10 minute walk from us. We've also got Houston station, Kings Cross station and St Pancras stations for national and international rail links and they're all about a 10 to 15 minute walk away from us as well. And then for shopping, we're about 10 minutes away from Oxford Street, Totland Court Road and another shopping centre that's local called the Brunswick Centre. And then as you can see the little yellow houses on the map there are all indicative of our student accommodation, various student accommodation options that our students have. So they're within about a two to 45 minute travel time from SOAS as well. And you can see a lot of the main sites in London there on the map so they're really easily accessible too. So this is the lovely leafy precinct area just outside the front of SOAS. So we have three main buildings all on one site in a kind of informal pedestrianised University of London campus area. And we're surrounded by a lot of the other universities that make up the University of London as well. So as well as having that smaller SOAS community experience, you also get to experience a bit more of the wider University of London buzz as well being located where we are. So just to the right on this image is our SOAS main building and on the left hand side is our SOAS Brunai Gallery building. And in the background on the left hand side is our third building which is the Paul Webley wing which is the northern wing of a bigger building called Stenet House. And the rest of that building is University of London owned and managed. So this image shows a photo of Torrington Square which is again part of the pedestrianised space around the Bloomsbury universities. So you can see SOAS main building just to the left there and straight ahead is Stenet House and the closer part of Stenet House is part of SOAS is the Paul Webley wing of SOAS. And Torrington Square itself hosts a really fabulous farmers market every week on a Thursday which is really popular with students and also with staff as well. So that offers lots of different meals that you can choose from including things like Italian, Thai, seafood, so lots of different options there. Our facilities at SOAS include the SOAS Library and this is one of only five national research libraries in the country due to its collection of national importance and it's located at the heart of our main building. So the library houses over 1.3 million resources and is the biggest library in Europe for the study of Africa, Asia and the Middle East. And as a SOAS student you'd also have access to a wide variety of online resources and also you'd have access to the other University of London libraries as well including the Stenet House Library and also libraries in places such as LSE, Kings, UTL. But a lot of students find that they do have all of the resources that they need in our own library because as you can see it is a very big library with a lot of resources there. The main building is also home to the Students Union with its junior common room and bar and we'll talk a little more about that in a moment. The SOAS Refactory which is the main place where you can get lunch and dinner and lecture theatres, seminar rooms and informal study spaces. So this is a view from the centre of our second building which is called the Paul-Webbley Way. It's the newest of our SOAS buildings as it was opened in September 2016 as part of our Centenary celebrations that year. And this main atrium has various facilities that students can access as well as a lot of informal study space. So it is home to the Student Hub which is a one-stop shop where students can go for any administrative needs or inquiries they have. So for example if students need a letter to confirm they're a student or to pay their fees they can go to the Student Hub. There's also the Careers Service which offers lots of career support including workshops and one-to-one appointments. And it also has an online cap form with information on jobs and paid internships. And also finally the Student Advice and Well-being Centre which offers one-to-one appointments and drop-in sessions to support students with things including finances, accommodation, immigration and advice for international students, disabilities and specific learning differences, mental health and well-being and also mentoring. And the building also houses two of our lecture theatres, lots of teaching classrooms and other informal study spaces as well. Here is our Brunei Gallery Lech Theatre which is in our third building. This building also houses various teaching classrooms and informal study spaces as well and it's also home to the Brunei Gallery. And this is an image of the gallery. So it's public gallery, it's split over two levels and it's open five days a week and free to get into. And it has changing exhibitions in there that rotate every two months or so and they're all focused on Africa, Asia and near Middle East. And upstairs we have a Japanese roof garden which is a nice sort of tranquil spot to go to to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Brunei Gallery is part of Newviem Mile which is a group of 14 museums and galleries which are between Bloomsbury and the River Thames area. We have various options for accommodation for students. So some of our students do choose to go into accommodation and some choose to commute in if they're living in London already. But for those that do choose accommodation it generally ranges between 152 to 299 pounds per week at the moment. Our SOS only undergraduate halls is a place called Dinwidi House and this is about a 20 minute walk away from SOS's main site, so the halls are near Kings Cross. And that's usually flats of between five to seven students each with their own room and ensuite around a main sort of kitchen and social area. And there are lots of other options that we have for accommodation as well with other accommodation providers. And we also have spaces in intercollegiate halls where you might be sharing with students from other universities of London Unis, which is a really nice way to meet even more students from other places. And depending on the halls that you go for, they're usually between about a two and 45 minute walk or public transport away from SOAS. And the majority of them are within walking distance. So some students might prefer rented accommodation, private rented accommodation. And a lot of our second and third year undergraduate students do move into their own housing in various parts of London in those years. So as well as the SOAS accommodation office, students can also access the University of London housing service for help with finding accommodation. And that also has properties that it lets out to students called student homes. And in this case, with the student homes, the students will deal with the University rather than the landlord directly. So it adds kind of another layer of security for students. And in general, rents in the private sector for students vary from about £120 to £220 per week plus bills. Finally, we'll move on to having a look at our students union, which is really central to student life at SOAS. So many of the students at SOAS are very politically and socially active and the student union really reflects this. So there's a lot of ways to add value to a SOAS degree and you can get involved with things like charity work and campaigning through the student union, as well as over about 200 diverse societies that you can be part of. And for any individual kind of SOAS region, for example, Korea or the Middle East, there's probably about 20 different sports, music and cultural societies that you can be part of, as well as some random societies too, so you can see that the NAP Society and the Real Health Society. And there's always different things happening in the student union, so there's things like film screenings and talks and live music that are always going on. And then there's also the University of London Student Central, which is based just around the corner from SOAS, literally a two-minute walk away. And that has a whole other set of societies that are often quite different from the ones at SOAS that students can be part of, as well as other facilities like the gym, swimming pool that students can sign up to, bars, a shop and a cafe. And they're accessible to all University of London students, which includes the SOAS student community. And if you'd like to find out more about the extracurricular activities at SOAS or indeed at the University of London Student Central, you can visit the two different websites for those and those are shown on the screen there. So this is a lovely image of some of our students at Freshers Fair at the beginning of the year, which is where students can sign up to become part of the societies at SOAS. Thank you very much for listening to this presentation. If you do have any further queries about studying at SOAS, please feel free to contact us at studyatsoas.ac.uk or feel free to browse our website for further information on degrees and other information about the University.


In this episode of free plug-in news, we're going to be hearing about this great free channel strip, a beautifully simple saturation plug-in and a way to roll the dice with some wet spatial effects. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. Let's get this free effects rundown started with a very lo-fi piano. Lo-fi piano from Steinberg is, as its name suggests, a lo-fi piano plug-in and there's a few things that sort of add to that and it's mainly these filters or effects that you can see on the screen here right now. We'll go through those in a moment, but primarily it's a piano yet with these effects applied. So let's just have a listen to that piano from the low end to the high end so you can get a bit of a sense of it. And you can already hear that kind of lo-fi quality and that's mainly because one or two of these effects I feel. First of all the flutter here on the left hand side, this is a sort of a pitch variation effect, the kind of thing that you may get on a tape emulator where the speed of the tape is going up and down. There's a compression effect here and then this is saturation effect and that's turned up fairly high so that's making it sound a little bit sort of gritty. We have this reduce effect here which is turned off at the moment, but this is a kind of a bit depth sort of an emulation thing. So when you turn that up high there's a real low bit depth for this. Then we have this filter which I'm going to talk about more specifically later on that's immensely adding to the lo-fi quality of this piano and then there's some different reverbs as well. Let's have a listen though to this piano more with a piece of music now and I'm going to play around mostly with these first three effects that you can see here flutter, compress and saturate. Now you notice I didn't mess around with filter there, really filter and the imagery suggests it's doing a low pass and a high pass filter there so you're just getting lots of mid-set. Really filter I feel is adding mostly to the sound of this.  Now I have a listen to this again and what I'm suggesting to you here is why this is interesting because I reckon once you get rid of those there's not much too lo-fi about this piano but it's just a really nice sounding but very gentle piano. I think it's great for this year so if you're not really interested in that lo-fi quality but you would be interested in a kind of just a very gentle piano then I think this would be a really good plug-in for you to download and try out. Now the eagle-eyed amongst you will notice this isn't really a plug-in as such as much as a library. It's being played in this player that you can see the name of at the top left here. This is Haleon Sonic SE from Steinberg. Now don't worry this is a free player as well I'm going to put a link for that in the description. So this is the library for that player. Make sure you follow the instructions it's one of those ones where you've got to download a download manager to download the other parts so you know carefully follow the instructions there. The reason I point that out to you though is because that directly links to the next plug-in in our news today. So while I was downloading my free version of Haleon Sonic SE I noticed there are another few libraries free libraries available for this and one of them was this one novel piano and I thought I'll just give this a quick try and I really really liked it. As you can see there's hardly any controls for it just this release noise a character control and a reverb. Now I'm using a preset here where you can see just at the top here on the right this is the fairy tale piano. I'm going to play the same piece of music again as I did earlier today when I first heard this and we'll hear how it sounds with this piano. I really liked it let's have a listen. Now it seems like the designers of this particular library have the intention of creating libraries which work really well with things like computer game music. I mean I think there's many other uses for it as well but the thing about this is it's sort of quite unintrusive so if you've got other things going on perhaps dialogue and that kind of thing this is not going to be you know intrude upon those other sounds just by the very nature of it's kind of I guess pulled back gentle nature of it so I think this is a beautiful piano library to also download for Hally and Sonic SE. So you remember how the first plugin Low Fire Piano made that piano sound really low fire well I've done the same thing using this plugin to an acoustic guitar this is Beria or Buria not quite sure and the idea of this plugin is really to add a bit of grit and things or a bit of character I should say with some saturation but it does have this low cut and high cut filter on it which you can see I've turned up and down here and I've done that to mess up this acoustic guitar which initially sounded like this but now sounds like this now I guess that's not really the intention of this plugin to make things sound really really sort of low fire like that but I've done it with this low cut filter here which I'll now turn down in this high cut filter which I'll now turn back up so we're not cutting it out any of the frequencies we're just adding some saturation here interesting feature as I add and decrease the saturation you'll see the output volume is changing there as well because saturation can have the effect of adding to the sort of loudness of things you can switch that off by using the link control here and you can also mix between the the original signal and the saturation as well using this mix control just mix control just one other control to talk about which really doesn't do anything but you know it's nice eye-catching and that's the GUI control here we can switch through some different looks there I like the red ones I'm going to leave it there I'm just going to turn this saturation knob down to zero I'm going to play this guitar part again I'm just going to gradually add some more saturation so you can hear the effect now on this particular track you can see it really starts to break up there around about six or so but I mean it will be different depending on the source that it's receiving there I think around about back here where I had about five or so maybe a little bit lower it sort of adds a nice bit of warmth to that guitar which I really really like so it's worth grabbing this if you just want a quick and dirty way to add some saturation to your sound now another way to add a little something would be to use this channel strip from analog obsession it's called is it called chaniv or chaniv or channel v or channel five I'm not really sure what it's called but it's a channel strip and it's got some great features to if you've never used a channel strip before then this may be a great one to download and give a go because with a channel strip you can do almost all of your processing apart from sort of reverb and delay etc in one spot it's a great economical way to work and it's also a wonderful way to work and use your ears rather than sort of all this visual stuff that you may get with some other plugins I think it's good for that reason anyway has it what has it got in it it's got a mic pre-section over here now when you turn this up it doesn't really increase the volume so much as it increases the sort of initial drive and you can get a little bit of sort of distortion there if you push it all the way up and there's things like a low cut high cut filter on there as well as some other EQ stuff there so a way of sort of crafting the initial sound of your input we have a ds here which is of course useful if you're recording vocals also useful and things like electric guitars as well by the way that's a whole other story but you've got one of those in there then we have the whole equalizer section in the middle here focusing on the low mid and high frequencies again another great way to sort of craft your basic sound then we have a compressor and a limiter over here as well as a tape drive over here which adds a little bit of a saturation and drive over there I'm not going to demo this because there's just too much to show you in a short period of time on one track but I would recommend that you download it give it a go and start playing around with this and find if you've never used a channel strip before find a really different and interesting way of working with your tracks or by the way when you get to the end of this video and you've seen all of the plugins let me know in the comments down below which ones are your favorites that really helps me out because it lets me know which other plugins I should look out for you guys so baby audio have a commercial plugin called spaced out a spatial effects plugin and you can control all kinds of things within that plugin now this plugin magic dice has all of the engine of that commercial plugin but without the controls yes by pressing that dice symbol or die symbol in the middle there you get a random sort of setting using that engine each time the only other control you really have is this mix control so there's really not much for me to talk about with this plugin it's kind of fun I've got to tell you so I'm just going to play this guitar part here and every so often I am going to click the die and we're going to get a random sound now don't worry once you found a sound you like it will stay there when you next load up your session let's have a listen so as you can hear just an enormous range of different sounds there download it have some fun you just may find that sort of random thing that you may never have thought of which adds a whole lot of character to your track so if these free plugins are not enough for you that's fine because I've made a whole series of videos about free plugins you can use in your recordings I've put them together in a playlist and you can watch that playlist right here so I suggest grab yourself some coffee grab yourself some nuts sit back and enjoy the videos and yes I just asked you to grab some nuts


All right, yo, it's good everyone. Nick Smith is back. Welcome to a new episode of the Indiana Pacers Marge M series We're up against the Detroit Pistons and this is the first game that I've played with Derek Rose So I'm trying to see what he can do in this episode and Kenneth for a get get that out of here Kenneth with the blocks CJ Miles feeding it up to Derek Rose who gets the tough lap to go But this guy Derek Rose, I showed you his stats in the last episode And we all we also that he couldn't really shoot the rock like he's he's not that great of a shooter in 2k at all Like he he has no mid-range no three What he does though and but the thing is what he does in real life He's not even that good In real life, but in 2k he he's literally like throwback Derek Rose. He's like MVP Derek Rose in 2k It's crazy his quickness speed athleticism. It's all the same.  That was complete nuts.  I'm gonna show you why I got D Rose on this team And the good thing is I can utilize George Hill more than I would have without Derek Rose Because George Hill on the starting lineup wasn't really producing. He wasn't doing anything for me He was that player that just got assist and that's pretty much it Off the bench. He's like our sixth man now He's the guy that I look to score and I look to facilitate the ball with and as you can see shot clock winding down PG from downtown he beats the buzzer and ties the first quarter So, yeah, it's a it's a pretty close game Drummond, I don't know what he was doing right there taking turn around fade away from all the way down there But he decided to do that and look at this man CJ Miles drawing the foul and the contact and getting it to go He's drawing the and one play Let me know what you guys think about the new editing that I'm doing right now We're where I do different camber angles and things like that. You know, it's 2016 now I'm trying to make this channel a whole ton better and I showed you guys Hopefully or if I think it uploaded it should have uploaded by the 2016 new year's resolutions and what I want to do in terms of this channel and all that stuff I think I showed you guys if you haven't checked it out, please I would really appreciate it if you guys could check out that video. It's just, you know, the the recent one The new year's 2016 video that'd be awesome.  You're not gonna miss that. Oh wait It's Hall of Fame Hall of Fame is some cheese now if you make an excellent release you need to make it the excellent release It's an excellent release. How do you miss an excellent release? Okay? How do you miss an excellent release if it's an excellent release? I don't understand that look at that pass right there by PG That's that's kind of what I was talking about in terms of editing Do you guys like that or would you guys want me to go back to the original editing where it's just You know simple editing and just cutting it normally same camera angles and stuff because it's 2016 like I was saying and Yeah for the channel I want to improve on the editing aspect of things and that's something that I think makes The video better different editing and now looking at the stats where we're pretty much tied with the with the pistons right now Look at D Rose. That was a nice move right there. See that's what I'm talking about in terms of editing Let me know what you think about the editing comment down below, but um, yeah D Rose He's honestly a beat and look at PG. How do now I got that to go, but I'll take the air one and look at this man Look at that celebration right there. That's pretty nice. That was pretty cool to see that And I'm really happy of the big three with Derek Rose Paul George and Kenneth Farid It's a medium big three as Paul George's, you know that superstar but D Rose and Kenneth are kind of the guys that um That are not as good, but it's still a big three I think in my opinion and and I'm gonna utilize D Rose Way better than the Chicago Bulls utilizing D Rose because it's 2k obviously. This is what I'm talking about.  I give it to D Rose who gets the slam dunk I'm telling you guys this man is such a beast and 2k and if I can you know increase his training To make him a better shooter Even if you can't hit the three ball the mid-range That's all I need from him. I just need a mid-range shot because I have guys that can hit the three ball I have pulled George at a 93. I've seen Jay Miles who has a 90 shot three. I've got I Don't know if D Rose is on the bench I've got what's his name George Hill at like an 89 shot three. So I've got a whole bunch of three point shooters I don't necessarily need D Rose to shoot the ball But even if he can get a mid-range shot and play a little better defense It's over because he has the offensive game as you guys have seen and look at him right now If he gets double team, he makes the right pass to PG. Unfortunately he misses, but we got the man He'll on the ball is getting that put back left to go now It's time to play some good defense see Jay Miles with the still can of read running the break and look at him He's not passing it off. He decides to right there with Paul George getting the layup and it's a four-point lead So now with the ball Paul George gets it all the way to go back to a four-point lead because the piston scored again So this game is just going back and forth and this last quarter was really Paul George's quarter It was all PG. I wanted to take some shots with Derek Rose, but he was getting double teamed every possession down It seemed like so in the last quarter. It was PG. I mean just look at this man He's not being stopped to end this game And so with Paul George pretty much leading this team the Indiana Pacers to victory Hopefully 12 seconds left. He needs to make his free throws right here The game is pretty much done gets the excellent release free throw right there, which makes a four-point lead Guess another extra release five point lead to the paces if we give up a three that won't be good We leave him open, but we luckily get a miss drumming on the boards I don't know why they weren't shooting. He could have had that shot. They fit it out and that's the clock pretty much It's done. He misses anyway and the Indiana Pacers win the game I hope you guys enjoyed the video and look out for the next episode. It's gonna be a crazy episode I think in the next episode, it's the rebrand. We get into a little bit of rebranding. So Yeah, New Jersey's new court all that good stuff, etc. Paul George I told you in the last quarter. He stepped it up But D rose drop 22 and 10 only miss seven shots great game from, you know Paul George and D rose together first game together and this game really showed that they can work together as a team Which is awesome Yeah, but I hope you guys enjoyed the video if you did leave a like I really appreciate all the likes that you guys show on every video but yeah, let's see if we can reach 600 likes for the next episode and Yeah, what's the new year's resolution video? It's I want to see what you guys think about that video in the comment section down below. I'm out Peace


Hello everyone. In this video, let's talk about what the narcissist fears after losing you. Because let's keep it real. They move on in a way that seems confident, self-assured in such a swift way. It just seems so smooth. Their transition seems so effortless. As though there's no problems, no difficulties involved. They could just effortlessly move on. Without any worries, no problems, no difficulties. Or at least that's how they make it seen. Because they want it to look that way. The whole point is when they leave you, it's meant to hurt you. It's meant to make you think that you are missing out. As though they've got something so much better without you now that they've moved on into this other situation. As though what they've just left behind is garbage. It's not worth anything. And they can find something so much better than that just to brand the corner. As though there's millions of people in this world who are just like you. They can quite easily just go and find another person who walks, talks and acts the way that you do. Has the same mannerisms. It's just as beautiful or as handsome as you are. Just as successful. Someone who is also an empath, a chosen one. Someone who actually cares. And I've already spoken about in past videos how rare that is to find in this world. And yet we think that they can just move on so effortlessly. As though you never mattered. As though you'd never even existed.  So smoothly and swiftly. As though they're not going to run into any problems, any issues. And they're just going to go and find exactly what they want. And they're going to be happy with that. They're going to be satisfied. There's not going to be any disappointment. Any dissatisfaction. They're just going to move on and get exactly what they want when they want it. With who they want it with. That's what they want you to think. And a lot of you, you've been brainwashed for such a long time that you actually believe that that is what is about to happen. You actually think that they can treat you that way. And then they can go off and find something healthier. Something better for them. Of course that's never going to work. It's never going to be that way for them. Because you've just got to think about how they left you. They left you in a pit of misery and despair. And they didn't even care about how they treated you. They didn't even come back to try to make amends. So they have left it unanswered, open-ended and resolved. Just think about how damaging that is. And if you think it's damaging for you, as I've spoken about in past videos, bullies, people who intimidate people, those types of people, they are actually at a 10 to 25 risk of developing a psychiatric condition, more than their own victims who they are bullying. So these narcs, these toxic people, these manipulators, they're taking a lot of damage, a lot of emotional baggage with them because they left it open-ended and answered and resolved. So you really think they're going to move off into a better situation for them? Of course not. I can promise you, I can guarantee it, that is never going to happen. It's never going to be that way for them. That's never going to be their reality. It's only going to exist like that in their heads.  And you are the sacrifice, not for the narcissist, for the false self. Because yes, the false self is separate from the narcissist. And you will know their false self, you will recognize it because it's so grandiose. It thinks it doesn't stink. It thinks it's the best thing since lies bread. And this is all going on in their minds as they sacrifice you for the pleasure and satisfaction of their false self. But it's all in their minds because you can think that you are the man. You can think that you are a queen. You can think that you are the greatest thing on the face of the earth, but that doesn't mean that it's real. They think all of the things in their minds are so arrogant and delusional they have this exaggerated sense of their own abilities, value and importance. But what do they actually ever do in reality? What actions, what behavior is actually a line with this grandiose image that they have for themselves? I mean, fair enough, if you've done the work, if you've been through the trenches and you've actually gone out and done something for real, then that is not grandiosity. That is not a false self because that is actually who you are. But it's not like that for them. They act like they've already done something. They act as though they've already done all of these things for you and you should be happy with them. You should be fulfilled. But actually, if you look at it, you've done a lot of things for them, but they've done very little for you if anything at all.   So in a way, we can point the finger and think and say that they're being fake, but also sometimes we've got to look at ourselves because we are also being fake in some ways and that's exactly how they want us to be.  You're not actually putting anything out. You haven't actually done anything for me, but you're acting in a way as though you've done so many things. They could tell you all of these things that they think they are in their mind, but what could they actually write down to tell you what they've actually done and not just what they've done, but what they've done successfully? Have they ever actually done anything for anyone where they were left satisfied? Well, they actually felt like they had a fair deal. Instead of feeling like it was unfair, they were victimised, because I can guarantee that most of these narcissists, if not all, everything that they get involved with with other people, by the end of it, the person felt like they got a bad deal. The person felt more dissatisfied, more unfilled than they did before they got involved with the narcissist. If anything, they felt better before they met them, before they started talking to them. So tell me, how delusional is that? How can someone think they're so arrogant, so grandiose? And hold on a minute, how many people have you left worse off than before they met you? How many spirits have you crushed? How many dreams have you destroyed? How many people have you left dissatisfied? Because I know myself I can't rest until I put up a video like this every day, because I want everyone to feel confident in themselves. And yes, I will go out of my way to do that, because I can't bear the thought of leaving someone more worse off than before they met me. I can't deal with the thought of that. And in most cases, people who have been involved with me, they got a bargain. They got a good deal. They got far more out of me than I got out of them. And yes, many times I did feel cheated. I felt deceived. I felt like I got a bad deal. Well, as for narcissists, it's always the other way around. As I've said before, the victim is the one who comes into the relationship with a lot and leaves with very little or nothing. Even if that is just their confidence and enthusiasm, their energy, their resources. Yes, they leave with a lot less of all of that than what they had when they first came into it. While the narcissists, they take everything you've got. They leave with more energy, attention, validation, resources, your vitality, confidence. They leave with all of that. Well, they never had any of that before they got involved with you. So by realizing this, you can see their false image is fake. Hence the name. It's not even real. So how do you think they're going to move on and establish anything with anyone else? And that's before we get into how they left you. They didn't even care about you. They left you feeling bad about yourself. They left you depleted of your energy and resources. That is very unhealthy. Damaging. Not only to you, but a study show 10 to 25 times more likely to develop a psychiatric condition for them. So I suggest that they're not going to be moving on to anything good. That's really what it does suggest. But if that isn't enough to leave you convinced, I will now get into three things that the narcissist fears after leaving you.

And also don't forget if you want to book a one on one, just go to my website. It is narksurvivor.co.uk. Now let's get into the meat of the video. Three things that the narcissist fears after leaving you after leaving you. The first thing that the narcissist fears after leaving you is that you will wake up. Because all of this time you've been manipulated and deceived. You've been gaslit, lied to, future faked. You've been caused to believe in a reality that doesn't even exist. In a character that isn't even real. And if you look at it, it's like, okay, if this character was real, then shouldn't there be certain actions and behaviors that align with that? But if you look at it, you're the one who's been doing everything for them. What have they done for you in return? How many times have you given and done things for them? How much value have you put out? And I don't just mean in money or resources, but also in your intention, the validation that you're giving them, your energy, your life, your vitality. You're giving all of that out. And what are you getting back in return? You're not getting a fair exchange. So of course, they fear that you will wake up. They fear that you will heal from the abuse and then you will move on. Because they don't want you to do that. They want you to remain asleep. They want you to remain under the spell that they put on you under the world that they pulled over your eyes to where you were manipulated, deceived, led to believe in something that wasn't even real, something that wasn't even true. You were led to believe in that. At some point, it's like, well, I've been doing all of these things for you. I've been putting out. Then it's like, while I've been doing that, I be waiting. And I've gotten little or nothing back in return in comparison to what I've been giving out. So at some point, it's like, okay, where is it? Where is this thing that you were promised? Where is this future? Whether it was a relationship, marriage, children, maybe you were meant to go on a trip together, whatever it was, where is this thing that you were led to believe in? This thing that you were waiting for? This thing that you were waiting to receive at some point in the future? Where is it? Because everything you gave to them, it's clear to see that they had received that. But what did you get back? That's why you feel confused, disappointed, dissatisfied. You don't feel good about yourself. You feel like you've lost something. You feel like something's wrong with you. You're not good enough. Like now you're missing something.  So you feel like you've been cheated. You've got a bad deal. You felt like it wasn't right. You don't feel good about yourself right now. And that's why you're watching this video.  You're seeking support because it just doesn't feel right to you. And I get it. I understand they've been there and they've kind of rejected this onto you. Making you feel like you're not good enough. You're undeserving. You may feel ashamed but it's not you. It's them. They knew they weren't good enough for you. They just came in and took what you've got. They took your attention, your validation, your amazing energy because you're so lively, so energetic.  When you first started talking to them, yeah they sucked their life out of you. I know you're hurt. You're feeling bad.  But that's how they felt before when they first saw you. But then what do they do? They have this false self, this arrogance, this grandiosity, the sense of entitlement to whatever you've got. And then they just steal it. They rob it. They take it from you. And then you're feeling down and bad about yourself. Like you're not good enough. I can tell you that's not true. You are more than good enough.  I mean just think back before you got involved with them.  They just want to play. They just want to have fun. This person seems cute, kind. They just want to have a good time. But then time went on and you were manipulated, abused. You were harmed. You were mistreated. Because yeah you deserved more. You deserved better treatment. And that's why you feel bad. That's why you don't feel good about yourself right now. Because you were raised to expect more based on everything that you work to become in your life. All of the hard work you put in and that strength inside of you to where you were able to be vulnerable and to let someone in. And they took advantage of all of that. They took it away from you. They robbed your innocence. That's what they did. They robbed your innocence. They took it away from you because that's just what they are. That's what they're like. Evil, wicked and immoral people. They see your light, your energy, your enthusiasm, your passion for life, for love and relationships, for sharing happiness with another person. Where we can live, laugh, love and play. And they just saw that as vulnerability, as a weakness. That's something that they were going to exploit. And so that's exactly what they did. They exploited you. They took advantage of you. They treated you like a bargain. And so you got a bad deal. And then it affected your self-esteem. It made you feel like you're not good enough for better treatment. For something more. And in fact that is what you deserve. You do deserve more. You're not responsible for how someone treats you. You're not responsible for someone who's messed up. That they can't appreciate the value that they that you have. They may see that value. But they didn't respect it. Because I can tell you that you deserve so much more than that. And any good genuine kind-hearted person would give you that. The thing is with these types of people that are able to give that to you. They don't love or respect themselves. Or how can they love or respect you? How can they give you the treatment that you deserve? And that's what we've got to understand in these dynamics. Now let's get into number two. The second thing that narcissists fear when they leave you. They fear that other people will believe you. When they leave and you're left to yourself in the pit of misery and despair but they have abandoned you. They do fear that other people will see it. And that other people will believe you. About what they did to you. About what you went through. Yes they fear that other people will believe you about that. And they fear that if you confide in those people. That you may expose them. That you may make them look bad. That it may threaten their false image. And of course they don't want that to happen. And they also fear that if people believe you then they will be your support. They will allow you to develop a support network where you have people there to protect you. And of course if you've got people there to protect you. Then it's difficult for them to get in. To continue manipulating and abusing you. Which is what they want to do. And that's why they prefer for you to be alone. They try to isolate you. Because then they can be your only source of influence. Where they can continue to manipulate. Lie to you.  And just run you in circles and drive you crazy. Make you feel like you're losing your mind. Of course it's very difficult for them to do these things when you have other people around you. As a source of influence. As people who are there to protect and support you. And that's why they typically keep a code of silence. And they have many enablers who protect them. So this is why they fear that people will believe you.  Because you've got to think the reason why they're leaving you. Even if it's because you're no longer susceptible to their manipulation. They're assuming that the situation that they're going into. And the next person that they're going to be involved with. Is going to be more susceptible. More foolish. More naive. They assume that it's going to be a better situation for them. That the grass is greener on the other side. That they found the next shiny new toy. The next bigger better deal. That's what they're hoping. That's what they're expecting. But a lot of times that's not what they get. And in fact they could be going off into a situation. That's going to be a lot worse for them. And it may have been far better with you. You may have been a better source of supply. Because remember empaths chosen ones are very rare. It's very difficult for them to replace someone like you. That grade A source of supply. But this is what happens because when they do leave. They're typically in a state of grandiosity. Even when they're playing the victim. That's still grandiosity. And when they're in a grandiose state. Their intelligence is very low. And in that state they can also be very gullible. Where they have this blackaway thinking. So they're viewing you as all bad. As completely flawed. Which means that they can quite easily view another situation or another person. As being more valuable. As being a better option for them. But a lot of times as I said that's not always what they get. So yeah they go off into other situations. Thinking the grass is greener on the other side. When in fact they end up regretting their decision. Even though they may never actually come out and admit it. But deep down they do. Deep down they really regret what they've done. They don't regret what they've done to you. They don't care about abusing people. They don't feel what you feel. It's just all about them and how they feel about themselves. They're very insecure. They despise themselves. They feel completely powerless and helpless. And stable out of control. So it's all about how do I regain this control of myself to where I can feel more stable and secure. And of course they need a person for that. They need an external regulator. And they're using you for that even when they go off into another situation. And what you have to remember as well is that it's never what you think. A lot of times we idealize what they're going off to. As though it's going to be like what we want to experience or what we want to experience with them. But it's never like that. If that was how it was they could have just had that with you. Because that's what you wanted. You wanted true love, a connection, intimacy.  They can flaunt their supply on social media and make it seem like that's what they have. But they're actually not about that at all. They don't even care about that. It doesn't mean anything to them. It only means nothing to them so much as if they can use it to manipulate you. To lure you in. But other than that they really don't care about it. If anything they just see it as weak. They hate vulnerability. That's why they couldn't be vulnerable with you. They see that as a loss of power and control over themselves. So they're never going to be vulnerable with anyone. But they know that's what you want. So when they go off they make it seem like they've given this new person what they never gave to you. This connection, intimacy, true love. A relationship.  And they didn't even care about it. They didn't even want to family. They're just using it to hurt you. So you shouldn't be jealous about that if anything. You should be laughing when you realize that it's really just completely fake. It's all a facade. It's all just a false image. To garner supply, attention and validation. Because they assume that it's what other people want to see. As though it's what other people are interested in. What other people care about. When it's like who's to say that the people who are viewing this false image who they're trying to impress. Who's to say that those people aren't exactly the same way. And they're both just manipulating each other. Because in the world today that's exactly what it's like. One to two percent of the world's population are empaths. Most people don't even care about relationships. A deep connection. Vulnerability, intimacy. I mean just look at the false image. The grandiosity. What is that going to do with vulnerability? Nothing. It's all just about power. Security. When you know sometimes a real connection. Vulnerability. That's about being powerless. Even a helpless at times. Insecure. That's often what real love, intimacy and connection is about. But then loving each other anyway despite that. Having that acceptance for each other. That's what love is. And you just got to look back and think when did they ever accept you? They never did so how can they ever accept someone else? They couldn't accept you because they didn't accept themselves. They didn't accept their own insecurities, their own flaws. So these are the things that they will fear when they leave you. They make it look so swift, so smooth, so effortless as though they know exactly what they're doing. They know exactly what they're getting into but they actually don't. Deep down they're very insecure. They just suppress and deny it. And that's why narcissists, they're never happy. They're always miserable for the rest of their lives. They become even more bitter and resentful as they age. And they never find true love. They never learn to love themselves. They never accept themselves. They never accept anyone. And they can never be vulnerable. They never get to experience connection. Or anything healthy, anything functional. I am looking for a moderator for the live chat. So let me know if you are interested in this position. It is unpaid but it's for viewers who are passionate about what I speak about on this channel. So if it's something that you may be interested in just send me an email culture.narcsurvivor.co.uk. I have been looking through the live chat as I've been recording this that has been quite distracting. Speaking of which, keeping me off balance myself because there's always these trolls in the live chat. There's always these people who try to bait you in, distract you, get you to give your wonderful empathic energy to them because they're emotionally dead inside. I mean let's just keep it real that's exactly what they are. But I do hope that this video has given you a life.  And sometimes once you've been through so much you need someone or something to reciprocate some of that back to you. And that's my job.  So that you can go out into the world and continue to spread the love, raise the vibes. So that's what I hope to do for you and just bring you the truth. Instead of falling for the false image of the grandiosity thinking that is so easy for them. Like what they had with you was garbage, it was no good, it wasn't good enough for them after they've just drained the life out of you. And then they could just move on and the next situation is so much better. It's everything they wanted, everything the other person wanted from them. It's really not.   They like abuse. They like toxic situations, fights, arguments, problems, making people miserable. Yeah that's what they like. And just by knowing that you should know that there's no reason for you for you to be jealous.   Now they feel so much better at your expense, no. They feel nothing, they don't feel anything, they can't feel what you feel, they lack empathy, they are miserable creatures. So don't think that they got one over on you, they didn't get nothing, they couldn't feel anything and I can tell you that you are far better than that. You deserve so much more. You deserve someone who will love you and care about you in ways that they never did, ways that they never could.  You deserve so much more than that. You deserve so much better.   They're always going to be like that but you can generate your happiness from within, you can feel good. So I just wanted to finish off with that. For those of you who are left feeling sad, feeling down, feeling confused after what was done to you, I just want you to know that they didn't get one over on you, they didn't cheat you, they didn't get anything. All they got was just some more fuel to the fire of their delusion, of their grandiosity, of thinking they're powerful, thinking they're the best thing since life's bred and they're actually not. They're nothing, they're losers and you are actually something for real. You have so much love, life and energy inside of you, bubbling and brewing out of you, you're so pure, so much enthusiasm that they did not deserve because they could never reciprocate it, they weren't about it, they weren't on that wavelength so they couldn't appreciate that in you because they're just these lifeless zombies, they don't feel anything, they don't feel anything at all, all they feel is misery, pain. So yeah just be aware of that, I know that you have the love inside of you, that's yours and we'll never get that from you.

So guys I am back with another Dynelight 2 video and today guys I want to talk about a possible hidden secret weapon stash containing guns. How's it going guys? My name's DP Jane, if you do enjoy the video and if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe. Okay so have you noticed the lack of guns in this game? I mean where are they all? Now if you do roam around a bit you do hear certain individual NPCs talking about the military taking them and stashing them somewhere. But does that mean they're there to be found in the game? Well guys I thought long and hard about this. I mean the majority of the map has been covered by tons of people. If they were in the game it's quite possible they would have been found by now? Or is that a true statement? Well guys earlier today I noticed something on Twitter by Dynelight 2's lead designer. His name is Tymer and some mech teller I believe that's pronounced I'm probably wrong I usually am with names. I am useless but he replied to a guy who asked. The game has been amazing and while there has been a few bugs so I'm sure we'll get patched. Up here soon my only issue is where are the guns? I am still kind of like 7 or 8 hours in but there are none. Make some. I need to blast some zombies and the occasional cycle. Tymer replied with we decided to focus on medieval ranged weapons but there's a boomstick you can unlock later. There's also a quest that explains what happened to the guns and that the army could have hidden some in a secret stash. Who knows maybe the stash will be uncovered. What does he mean people this guy is one heck of a tease. And I thought straight away I mean there's still hundreds if not thousands of secrets still to be found in this game. There's no two which ways of value. So could there possibly be a hidden gun stash somewhere in the game maybe just contains one or two decent weapons. Who knows we know within the game files that have been there in mind there are thousands of weapons there are recipes for ammo. There are weapons there are guns there but these could be placeholder items we just do not know. So is it possible they're in the game now do you think they may come with future content. I'm excited people I saw this and I'm like this has got me just it's just it's just give me more energy to play. I can't go to sleep I need to find these weapons people but tell me your thoughts down below. If you have any clue as to where these could be please let me know because it would be absolutely incredible to find them in the game right now. But let me know your thoughts on this down below within that comments section people do you think they could possibly be a hidden weapons stash. A hidden gun stash somewhere in the game now let me know guys. I don't know the end of the video has arrived if you enjoyed it leaving a like really helps out. If you're new around here and want to see more dying like be sure to subscribe and if you never want to miss a video I upload you can turn notifications on by hitting that bell button. But guys thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one.


If you think about a funnel, right? A funnel is wide at the top, collects a lot of options, opportunities, and it actually gets narrow at the bottom so that it creates a steady stream. So from randomized droplets at the top of the funnel to a steady stream at the bottom, how can we use this in our social life to start to build a social circle? Well, we have to commit to going out and meeting new people, right? We're not going to build a social circle by sitting on our couch, by watching Netflix, by binging the art of charm podcast. As much as I wish that would be effective for you, we know it's not.  But we want to make sure that we're setting ourselves up for success. And as Michael said, just going out and meeting a random selection of people each and every night, facing that rejection from strangers, you're not highly likely to find a lot of people that are a great connection for you that have similarities and interests and are actually going about life on their own mission that you could be a part of. So as Johnny said, we have to identify what our core values are. What's really meaningful to us? What's guiding us? Is it physical health and maybe it's fitness? Is it entrepreneurship? Then maybe it's a networking event. Can you find a hobby or a passion or pursuit that has a social activity tied to it? Maybe it's golf for me or hiking or joining a run club as we talked about. These opportunities to meet new, like-minded people who share a common interest is the top of the funnel step. I like the two-to-one rule where we commit to one social activity a week for every two dates that we go on. So as you're getting your dating life back in order, you can't tip the balance only to romance. You have to commit to at least going out and socializing once a week. That could be after work. That could be on the weekend. But in that top of the funnel activity, we're meeting and connecting with new people. Now, here's where we start to qualify and we narrow our focus with that funnel. We start to filter in the right high-value people for us. We commit to hosting once a month an activity that we can invite people to. And this activity can be a hike together. It could be a run. It could be a mountain bike excursion. It could be a dinner party. It could be a poker night. But you are the host. You are the connector. You are inviting people into an activity that you enjoy. And what that does is it creates a filtering step. So you're not spinning your wheels, spending a lot of time chasing after social options and social connections with people who aren't like-minded, who don't enjoy the same things, who you're probably not going to share a great connection with. So if I invite 10 people to poker night and six of them pass on that poker night, I have four people who enjoy poker, who I got together. I have an opportunity now with a limited amount of time, that one poker night, to start to spark real connections with people that I met at a run club, that I met on the golf course, that I met at the meetup event. And in that opportunity of inviting people in, I've provided an opportunity for them to get a better sense who I am, but not doing it one-on-one, not spinning my wheels chasing people for a beer or for a dinner or for a coffee in a one-on-one setting, which is not a very efficient use of my time. So that hosting is the second step of the funnel, we're committing to one social activity to find like-minded people, we're inviting them to one group activity a month in your life or your hosting. And what comes out of that event, the bottom of the funnel, is an opportunity for the right people to be filtered into your life, to go to dinner with, to invite on that trip, to actually spend more quality time alone with. So we're meeting tons of people, creating options in our life at the top of the funnel, we're hosting events to start to filter in the right people for ourselves. And then at the bottom of the funnel, the people who had a great time at the event, the people who we felt a natural inclination and connection for, we then commit to inviting to dinner, hanging out with on our boat, taking out in a one-on-one fashion. That's how you start to foster and build a real social circle in a new area, coming out of a breakup, not knowing very many people. So you're basically making rejection work for you because if you invite 10 people to poker night that you brought in through the first stage in the funnel and six of them don't reply or they don't show up or they they flake out or whatever, rejection works for you because you don't want to invest more time into those that didn't reply, didn't invite you back to another event or whatever. You're bringing in a lot of people and then you bring in rejection and you let rejection sort out those that should not go on a one-on-one event occasion, doing something together, whatever it may be.  And that won't work with every single person you bring into that funnel because there are so many of them. You need rejection. Rejection is like a high five. Okay, great. I know I can probably like take those names off of my list. That's a great thing. In that rejection, there's a really incredible moment that happens. It's called the power of the invite. When you get comfortable inviting people into your life, you unlock reciprocity. And what happens is even if of the six people who said no to the poker night, they didn't, they rejected you in that moment. They didn't come to your event. You're now top of mind for them to invite you to something going on in their life, the baseball game, the mountain bike trip, the new restaurant opening down the street. So even in that rejection, you've planted the seed of I want to connect with you. I want to foster a relationship with you that bumps you up the top of their list to invite in the future. And I found this reciprocity to be so powerful, even in the face of rejection. Those people now see me as someone who's trying to connect, who wants a relationship, who's looking to grow my social circle. And they're going to think of me when they have an opportunity to invite someone somewhere. So three points before we go into the summary of everything that we went through today that this takes care of. Number one, it creates a space for you to get well, to get physically fit, and to heal yourself from the trauma of getting out of one relationship. This allows you to get active, be social again, put your get back out there and be meeting people. And then lastly, creating options in your life so that you have the power in the dating market.

The Brainerd Riverside Elementary first grade students took a break from the books today to help a friend in need. The class held their very own balloon ceremony to honor the death of one of their classmates' father. Our Logan Yee has more. Elizabeth Foss is a member of Ms. Raimi's first grade class at Riverside Elementary. She is known for lighting up the room when she walks through the door. She's just a happy girl all the time. But her light dim last week when her father died after a five-year battle with multiple myeloma. To brighten her up again and give her support through this tough time, the first graders decided to write notes to her father Michael and send them to heaven. One of the questions that Elizabeth had was about heaven and how she was going to communicate with daddy when he was gone and what he told her was you can send me notes on balloons. You can tag things to a balloon and send it up to me and I'll get it. We're lifting up balloons and letting my dad have lots of fun with balloons and make him have a good time. But Elizabeth would never have to be apart from her father since she carries a piece of him with her wherever she goes. Tug deep inside the heart of her teddy bear are her father's ashes. Elizabeth got a vial that goes inside of a heart inside of a teddy bear that she can carry around with her.  A lesson of compassion. Kids were talking about their feelings and knowing that it's okay to be sad and how do we handle those certain situations and also remembering the good times and how to stay positive about it.

Hey everyone, Shaber1000 here. Today we got another unboxing review video. This is from another tool from SakerBM. That's S-A-K-E-R-B-M. This one's coming from Memphis, Tennessee. So we're going to open this up. We're going to check it out. As you probably can tell by the title, this should be interesting and should be very helpful for me. So we'll get into that here in a second. So let's get this opened up and let's check it out. Okay, so let's go ahead. I've got Monkey's old knife here. Starting to rust a little bit. She kept it clipped on to her, her life vest in the boat and got a little rust. I'm gonna have to get her another one. But anyway, it's not about that. Let's go ahead and let's get this opened up here. While I'm opening this, Monkey had something funny happen to her today. But that's another video as well. So this is going to be so handy for me. Over here, SakerBM. Mini chainsaw, 4-inch portable electric chainsaw, cordless handheld chainsaw, pruning shears, pruning shoes, chainsaw for tree branches. Okay, I'll get this shown to you here. This is the company. Again, links will be in the description below. So far, the other two products they sent me, I have not used the buffer yet in a real life scenario, but I have used the grease gun adapter and it's more useful than I thought it would be. It can go in more places than I thought it would. So that, that's, that has helped me out a lot. This will too. So let's see here. Picture over here. Looks upside down in the camera. Okay. Product selling point. It says rechargeable electric chainsaw. The SakerBM Mini chainsaw is equipped with a 20 volt rechargeable lithium battery, which can be used for a long time. Charging at, charging at any time. Convenient and fast. Here, let me move this. I can't see that. There's a lightweight and portable. It is pretty light. Lightweight and portable. This, it says this SakerBM Mini chainsaw weighs only 1.1 kilogram, including battery. It can be used with one hand and it is not easy to get tired after long-term use. See, we were going to buy one of these, but not this brand because I didn't know they had them. And I've been looking for them because I've been wanting one to take camping. Because last time we went camping, I just used a hands-on. It about worn me out.  So we were going to buy one of these and we thought, well, we need to hold off. So I held off for a while and they reached out to me about this and I was like, oh, absolutely. Yes, I will definitely, you know, review this for you. It is very suitable for family, for family and temporary work. Even the elderly can easily control it. Well, I'm getting elderly. Okay, easy to carry, small and convenient, quick and easy to assemble. To assemble? Yeah, to assemble, just need one minute for all install. Okay, strong dynamic system, Saker Mini chainsaw, adapts a high quality grade chain that has undergone a deep quenching process. That's, if you guys don't know what quenching is, it's when metal is really hot and you quench it either, like, put it in water real fast or put it in oil real fast and that really tempers it, makes it really hard. In addition, oh, to ensure smooth cutting. In addition, a pure copper motor is used, which is very powerful. Cutting efficiency is higher and faster. Okay, step one, install the guide plate, install chain into the sprocket, pay attention to the direction of the chain knife. We'll get into that. If you guys are getting one of these, you probably used the chainsaw before, but anyway, I'll show you anyhow. Step two, tighten the screws with a wrench. Step three, install the battery, install the battery, the installation. Okay, I'm not sure what that means, but okay, this is, this is what's in the box here. There's the instructions.  Some more pictures for you, the motor, chain and bar. Okay, so let's go ahead and open this up. There's our little wrench. Like I said, as always, there will be links in the description. I'm sure this battery is going to need charged, so we'll charge it up and then we're going to take this out back and try it out. 20 volt max 1.5 amp hour. That's pretty good. Here's the charger. Goes in there. In fact, let's get this on the charger. There's a little light here just like the the buffer, and it will change to a different color when it's fully charged. So let's go ahead. I'm gonna go ahead and charge this, or put it on the charger right now. I have a place to plug into right here. Alright, now, yeah, it's red, and then once it charges, it'll be green. Okay, so there's that. Let's do this out of the way. Excuse me, guys. A little bit of oil. Pardon me. Now, here's our little booklet here, and their booklets are really easy to read, so save these instructions. You got your warnings. You got your specifications. Chainsaw safety. I'm so sorry. Chainsaw safety. Do not overreach and do not cut above shoulder height. That's pretty much with any chainsaw. Okay, so there we go. Chain oil. So you just put this, so it's cool. I've got bottles that are a little bit bigger than this. I'll probably carry with me, but yeah, that is cool. So the chain's already on here. It does feel a little tight. Let me make sure they got it on the right way. I bought a new chainsaw one time. It was a still chainsaw, and they actually had the chain on backwards. I started cutting with it. I didn't think the check was brand new. I started cutting with it. It wasn't cutting. I knew exactly what it was. This one is on right. So, and you got your, you got a little lanyard here. Got your safety button. You push that button and then pull the trigger. So, yeah. Okay, let me check this. Make sure there's nothing else I've got to do. First, hex bolt, hex wrench. The chainsaw may become loose after many hours of use. Well, that's with any chainsaw. Especially you guys that use a chainsaw, you know, it will come loose. I always tighten mine. I always sharpened and tightened my chain every tank full gas like if I was cutting all day. So, grasp the chainsaw in the middle of the guide bar and lift up. The gap between the guide bar and the tie strap of the chainsaw should be approximately two to three millimeters. If the gap is not approximately two to three millimeters, adjust the tightness of the chain by screwing the screw depth with a screwdriver, which is right down in there. So, what you do is you loosen that right down in there's a Phillips screw. I'm going to go get a screwdriver right now and we're going to go ahead and adjust this because I think that's just way too tight. Okay, so let me go get, this thing is cute, but like I said, camping. This is going to be so great, you know, for camping. When there's limbs and stuff, you know, laying around, I'll show you when we test this out. You know, this is going to be good for cutting it, so I don't have to cut my, with my big saw. And I think this will probably, I could probably put this in my backpack. It's not that heavy.  My camera's two pound. It may be about the same weight, but I may be able to put this in my backpack. I'm not sure. I know I've got room for it, but anyway, so yeah, let's go ahead and adjust this chain. Let me go get a screwdriver. That was fast. I didn't even have to get up. They give you a screwdriver. It was in the box. So, what we're going to do here, just loosen this up like with any chainsaw. Get right down in here in that little screw, and we're going to loosen this up a little. Just a little bit more. That's where I like them to be. Maybe I'll go just, I'll take it back to where I had it. Also, you can try to spin it. If it doesn't want to spin, it's too tight. I've also had chainsaws tightened up before instead of loosening. That's another issue that we don't have to worry about right now. It's not really an issue. It just, it happens.  There we go. Alright, so let's go ahead. We're going to tighten this down. Yeah, I've been wanting one of these. When they ask me about it, oh my goodness, I'm so happy. Also, sometimes on any chainsaw, when you tighten your nuts up here, there's usually two on a big chainsaw. This is tiny, so it only needs one. Once you tighten that, make sure you make sure it'll spin good because sometimes they will tighten up when you tighten your bolts. So, let's go ahead. And it says just to drip this onto the chain, the oil. I'll read this to you. It says caution always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before lubricating the chainsaw. Always use vegetable oil. Vegetable oil. Okay. When pruning fruit trees, mineral oil may harm the trees. Good point. Lubricate the whole chainsaw evenly before each use. Also lubricate it when replacing a fully discharged battery cartridge with a charged one. So, kind of like what I said before, I always tighten my chain and sharpen my chain after every tank fuel. So, it's kind of like what they want you to do here. So, let's go ahead and get this. So, that's cool that I can use vegetable oil.  Oh, and I'll show you that picture. I meant to show you that. It just shows you dripping it on there. Okay. So, let's go ahead. That way it helps get it down into, like if you lift this up a little bit, that gap there, you can also get some down in there. Because remember, this is not going to need an oiler on it guys, because, you know, it's not cutting through 10 and 12 inch logs, you know. This is just, it's pruning, you know, which is kind of like what I'll be using it for, just small branches, you'll see. You just do that.  So, there you go. That's good.  You can see where it's running down on the blade, but that's okay because it's staying on the chain. All right.  Let's fire it up first, and then we'll, we'll let it fully charge. So, let me get this wiped off. I should have did that before. I put the oil on it, but they say don't do that, which, yeah, it makes sense, but I just want to hear this thing run. Then we'll charge it fully. We'll go out back and cut some stuff up. Okay. I like that it says you can charge it any time, so you don't have to wait on it to run down to charge you. If you use it for five or 10 minutes or whatever, even five minutes, you can put it back on the charger, so it's good to go for the next time. So, let's put this on here. Now, I'm not sure, but I'll check and see if my other battery for my, for my buffer that they sent me, see if it'll fit in here and vice versa. And then I'll kind of have two batteries for each one, like for the buffer, then I'll be able to do a whole car with it for sure. But, yeah, let's see. There we go. So, yeah, see, that's why.  Can't really over-oil it. It just keeps the sawdust and stuff from getting to build up in it. So, you can take this off with that screw right there and that, and you can take that off and really get it clean and good when you're done with it. Very nice. Okay, like I said, I'm going to let this charge. And I'm going to see, hang on a second, let me, I got my battery right over here for my buffer. Let's see if it fits on here. And if it does, it's pretty much fully charged. We'll use that battery and we can take this out and try it out immediately, because I'm really excited about this one. So, let me grab this battery. I was wrong. It takes this battery. That's all right, because I will definitely be ordering another battery from them for this and this. That's, you know, so that way I always like to have extra battery, especially this.  Now, if I'm hiking on my solo camp out or if I'm on the boat or something, if I'm on the boat, I can bring extra stuff. But I think when I'm hiking, I think this is not going to be an issue to carry around in my backpack. And I think, like I said, if I'm hiking, I usually don't, if I'm doing a solo, I usually don't build a big fire, but sometimes I will build a fire. And so this is going to be super nice. I do like the looks of that chain. See how that's blued? That means, yes, that was hot and dipped in probably oil. That's how you get that bluing. So that's pretty cool. That was quenched. All right, let's get this charged up and try it out. Okay guys, we got this charged up. Took about an hour. Monkey wanted me to try this out here on this route. Well, I can probably pull this out of here. But let's try it first cut. Okay, that's pretty impressive. I can't see what you're seeing here. This is going to be handy. I can tell you that right now. Real handy. Let's cut some more stuff. We'll get monkey to try it out. She's never used to solve before in her life, especially not like this. So, well, not a chainsaw anyway. So we'll get her and we'll see what she thinks of it. Okay, so this is a little bit bigger. Very nice. I am really, really impressed with that. Awesome. All right. Yeah, we're going to let monkey give this a shot. Let's see what she thinks of it. I mean, we just cut off one, two, three, four, five, six pieces. Pretty cool. That's a pretty big piece here. It's part of our Christmas tree. I just pulled out the burning pit. Let's try it. Now my hands are sticky, but yeah, I'm impressed with that. Let's see the difference there. The size is, um, yeah. So, all right. Pretty good so far. Okay, got monkey here. First time she's ever used this kind of a saw in her life. So she did verify that for me. I'm going to hold the wood for her. I showed her how to use it. Go for it, Monk. What do you think? Nice. She likes to want to do one more. Yeah, I do one more. Oh, I'm just holding the wood for her, and you don't have to hold that button. Once you just, just the one time. Just the one time when you start it and then see, you can take, you push your button, pull your trigger, then you just, all right. That way it's more comfortable for you. Very cool. All right. So light. It is light, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, we'd like, like I said, we've been wanting to get one for camping. Oh yeah. This is going to be great. I cut a piece of our Christmas tree, y'all. A piece of our Christmas tree. So it'll cut through that big anyway. Well, that's nice, because if you had to trim it, it'll be handy. Well, what I'm saying is I can cut, I know I can cut logs this big around. Yeah. Out in the woods with it. We'll go camping. Because I, that's, that's a lot better than, that's a pain and she couldn't do it, you know. So, all right. That's quite nice. It's not hard to do it off. No, no, it's not easy. Very light. So I'm not stressed or straining. And they saw the, I already showed them a little thing, oil. You can use vegetable oil. That's really cool. I like it. Very cute. And like she said earlier when I told her that, she said usually people carry little things, oil with them, camping for cooking and stuff. So that's kind of great idea that you can use the vegetable oil. Yeah, because so you don't have to fill it up with anything. Yeah. So all you do is you don't have to oil that chain once every time you change the battery or charge the battery. It's so cute. Not cute. It is cute. All right, we're going to give you our final thoughts. Okay, so she's never run a chain saw. A big chain saw is a lot different than this, but it's the same basis. What do you think for never running a saw like this before? Easy peasy. Yeah. Have you ever run a power saw at all? I don't think so. No, no. But you've definitely never ran one of these before? No. No. Okay. Well, there you have it. And it's easy peasy. Yeah. It was very easy. Very easy. It runs good. It's quiet. I mean, for a chain saw, it's quiet. I understand it's selected, but it is quiet. Yeah, it is. That's a plus, especially out camping, even during the day. I don't like to hear chain saws running and generators running and stuff like that. But this zip, zip, zip a couple times, you got enough wood for the night. Yeah, it would have been nice using that when we went camping, and then you had to get that wood and we had to cut it, remember? Yeah, that's when she said, yeah, why don't you just go ahead and buy one of them saws? Yeah, because we see people advertising or reviewing these a lot on YouTube. I said, well, look into it. And I was seeing them, they're reasonable. And I was like, for some reason, I didn't. I said, I'm gonna wait. And she said, well, you just need to order one. I said, no, I'm gonna wait a little bit and see what else is out there. Because I only seen two or three. I said, I knew there's a lot more out there. So far, like I said, I never had one this small before I've had smaller ones, but not this small. But I like it. The ease of use, versatility of it, you take it anywhere, cordless. If there was one thing I would improve on on this, it has nothing to do with me because I'm right handed. But a left hand a person, that button, kind of, you see what I mean? It's not that big of a deal. But I would I would put one up here somewhere up in here. If it was me to push a button there with that way, you could use either thumb. Yeah, or make this one go through either side. Yeah. I mean, I'm no mean knock in this and I'm telling you not to get it even if you're left hander. You know, I'm sure left handed people, my brother was left handed. I'm sure left handed people can get used to doing. Yeah, that's the only thing I would change about it. If I changed anything, like I said, it's not a deal breaker for me. Even for a left handed person, I don't think it's that big of a deal. But, you know, I think for them, yeah, I would put one, you know, probably right here just dead center of the top.  Right. Either than that. Well, yeah, it's nice. Saker, you hit it out of the park again. I'm giving it two thumbs up and five out of five stars. What are you giving? Same. Same. Oh, yeah. Definitely. So so far, everything that they've sent me, they've sent me three items now. And all three of them are amazing. Like I said, I don't know the longevity. It could break next week. I don't know guys. But as I use it, you know, I'll give you updates on it here and there and let you know how it's going. But and it's comfortable. It's just as comfortable as a drill. You know, it just it feels good. This is a rubberized handle right here.  Not like this.  She had to go to the store. So yeah, I will definitely be ordering batteries from them for this for this saw. And I'm good. She's having a coughing fit like I was earlier. And when we're like, sometimes it's worse than the after effects is worse than when you're really sick, you know, like I've had a cough since I had to bronchial pneumonia. She's had a cough since the COVID. So but anyway, guys, yes, two thumbs up five star for me. I'll let you know on the longevity of it. Easy to clean easy to work on really ain't nothing work on but the chain, you know, sharpen the chain. Good to go. Yeah. Thank you, Saker. I really appreciate this. And we'll get a lot of use and again, you guys are great, man. Another great product in my book. So yeah, here we go. Yeah, so no complaints for me. Shea Bear the myth man legend. I'm gone for now. Stay tuned for more videos. And it's more review videos. We'll see you in the next one. Bye bye, guys. Take care. Stay safe.
