Hey friends, tonight we are hanging out at Epcot and it's the festival of the holidays. This is one of my all-time favorite festivals and we're gonna be going around world showcase trying all the food and beverage offerings, learning the history of Christmas from all the different countries around the world. My mom and sister are here and we plan on doing the cookie stroll, riding rides, eating food and just having a cheerful Epcot kind of night. Anywho, let's go do this. First things first, we grabbed ourselves the festival passport and I'm excited to show you guys all the new things they're offering this year. Of course we have the holiday overlay on Guardians of the Galaxy and Living with the Land but a lot of new food items and maybe some entertainment and we're gonna try to cover it all and just give you guys a kind of little guide in case you plan on coming. I woke up at 7 a.m. and I was able to grab a boarding group for the Guardians of the Galaxy so I'm so excited to be able to ride that and since our boarding group is 51 which would be called pretty pretty early I figured we'd stay just kind of on the outside of world showcase because you don't want to head all the way deep into world showcase and then run to your Guardians of the Galaxy boarding group when it gets called so I think we're gonna head on over to the donut box to start off with. As we make our way over to the donut box so I wanted to show you some of the entertainment like I said you learn the history of Christmas from all the different countries and of course you've got Father Christmas in the United Kingdom, Pierre Noel in France, Santa Claus over in the American Pavilion and I love it but my favorite is definitely got to be the mischief magical barn Santa in Norway and they just tell you what Christmas is like and in their countries and it really is such an amazing thing. We're also gonna try to fully complete the holiday cookie stroll that's where you try a cookie from all the different countries around world showcase and at the end if you actually complete it you get a special little surprise and my mom loves that it's like her favorite thing she always talks about it so that's a must-do for us today. Here is a look at the cookie stroll items they have a holiday sugar cookie and connections cafe a jingle sugar cookie oh a couple of new ones a Snickers doodle like a Snickers doodle the black and white the linser the gingerbread and as you get them you actually get stamped and that's how you show that you got them all done but I don't think they have anything here at the donut box at the donut box they just have a bunch of holiday flavored donuts like the holiday use donut or the eggnog cream filled donut this all looks absolutely amazing and a gingerbread milkshake the coolest thing about the donut boxes they make the donuts right here fresh look at them back there oh we got a whole donut box look at this sense my mom and sister and also Kristen actually joined up with us I decided on getting the donut box so we can actually try all the donuts all the holiday donuts I love the fact that the donut box comes in like a little festive holiday box but take a look at these precious little beauties I love this so much this looks really cool this is the cronut and then I don't know which one is the eggnog filled one probably that one that looks really cool and then we also got some gingerbread milkshakes now one of these are boozy ones is that one all you could tell by the cups and how it's smaller I asked Bonnie I was like hey bond get get one of those gingerbread milkshakes she's like I got one of boozy ones what are you doing here what have I started we're gonna cut up all the donuts we've got the cronut which is like the croissant donut this one is the eggnog filled donut I'm sure this one is the holiday yeast donut and then that's the peppermint one obviously but we're gonna come up in the little pieces of four all right here we go cheers to eggnog filled donuts eggnog filled donuts oh well I like that a lot this is a really really good donut I like it a lot and I'm not a big fan of eggnog but I would eat this again I would definitely get it and we got a lot of donuts here it's a donut gang this one's the holiday yeast donut to be honest I think I would have to say the eggnog was my favorite donut and I don't even like eggnog these ones are the same donut and they have like a dense feeling to it the cronut is definitely second best and the gingerbread milkshakes are good I didn't try the moment alcohol though is this the moment alcohol did anybody try it did you like it my you like the gingerbread milkshake no alcohol though you want to try the alcohol the donut box was a great place to start and I honestly I really did like that eggnog donut now I think we're gonna head back to connections cafe because they added a cookie there for the cookie straw and that's kind of cool they don't want there and over at the sunshine seasons one of the new cookies is here inside the connections cafe which is the Starbucks and I'm not too sure if that was a smart idea this is always this is like a very popular like very long line already and now I think they kind of made it worse look at this holy moly this is a super long line like I said people got to get their Starbucks but now adding one of the cookie straw cookies here I don't think that was well thought out all right after a very long wait we got the cookie and I think we're gonna rank the cookies like we'll let you guys know what our favorites were and we're gonna try to complete this all today so fingers crossed here is our first cookie on the holiday cookie straw we got it from the Starbucks and it's called the holiday sugar cookie and I'm excited it's a little bit soft and I think it's gonna be delicious first cookie of the season here we go a little soft it is very soft soft sugar cookie that's good that's a solid cookie I like it and like I said I think we'll rank them at the end and yeah one cookie down put that cookie down and here's our first stamp on our cookie look at that our first stamp it's actually the shape of the cookie though that's kind of cool now it's time we make our way into Guardians of the Galaxy so that we can do the holiday overlay I'm just happy to hear Christmas music in general I mean we didn't even make it over the world showcase yet but I'm excited to see what Christmas songs are playing here today I'm pretty sure the holiday overlay for the ride itself is just the audio I don't think there's any Christmas lights or any other visual things so we're probably just gonna jump right on into the ride and see what the music's like I'm very excited though because I do love the holiday I love the holiday season you know hope it's jingle bell rock Bonnie jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock you know the rest of the words stop this unusually large bag then you're likely doomed well we just got done and I liked it I thought it was fun I am gonna miss the regular music soundtrack though because like it was so much fun like trying to guess what song you get and it's gonna be just one continuous song for the rest of the festival but the song is really cool it's run run rocket and I love the ending you have to listen very closely because then you can hear groups singing and he's like oh you're group oh you're group and then rocket says let's be honest the only thing I want for Christmas is that cosmic generator and I thought that was really cool but I am gonna miss tears for fears I'm not gonna lie now that the Guardians business is out of the way it's time to make our way into world showcase got the tree up right there and now we're gonna be hitting up all the festival boots of course now that we made it into world showcase we have to stop at Mexico first we have to head towards Mexico I don't think they got a cookie there but it is a really cool menu with lots of margaritas festive for the holidays and Feliz Navidad we've made it to the Mexico booth the holiday kitchen they've got Dulce de Leche churros that sound pretty amazing they've got a horchata margarita a holiday Sarvesa oh they also have a prom again a prom a pomegranate margarita both of those sound really cool a lot of good stuff but I don't know which one we're gonna go with we have to pick and choose here here it is we've got the pomegranate margarita and then the mistletoe beer I kind of wanted to get them both Bonnie gonna try the marg yeah all right you try the marg I'll try the mistletoe you ready cheers oh I love my beer wow oh you don't like the pomegranate margarita Bonnie doesn't drink Bonnie Bonnie doesn't drink my mom doesn't drink either but she just tried that I'm a little shocked yeah come on I'll try the margarita let you guys know how it is that's a good margarita that's very good I like it a lot it's actually not too overpowering on the pomegranate you can really taste the tequila in there and the rim is very delicious my mom and sister they like I don't think Bonnie you guys never had tequila before have you that was the first time ever drinking tequila wow and Kristen got the Deloche Dashley Deloche Deloche Deloche Deloche Deloche Deloche Deloche Deloche Deloche Churro and it's good it looks fun it looks really good especially presentation I thought it was gonna be little churro bites but it's a whole churro it looks better than any Disney World churro any other Disney World yeah hey how was the churro Kristen it was very good I did really like it I heard your review and you said it's gonna be the best churro you'll get in Disney World is that true outside of Nomad lounge outside of Nomad lounge I didn't know there was filling on the inside look at that there's like actual filling inside the churro so very cool to know personally I think I would just always stick to the mistletoe beer it's actually a very good beer but now I think we're gonna head to Norway and I'm so excited because I want to see the barn Santa I want to see him he's so he's my favorite saying out of all of them I'm backing up backing up backing up oh it looks like the barn Santa we just missed his next showing is at 435 so we're gonna try to come back but this is one I just absolutely love look at all the little critters in the basket there it is so good they come out and they basically just tell the story of like Christmas and or what how they celebrate Christmas in each of the countries and I just said Norway is just such an awesome one there's also other Santas in other countries and different performances that we're gonna try to catch as well but if I could I'm definitely coming back for barn Santa right next to Norway is the Shanghai holiday kitchen they've got the chicken skewer the beef and noodle soup bowl even though it's hobbidow I don't mind trying some soup comes with a slow braised beef skit shank green onion and housemaid chili aioli chili oil no aioli no one wants that yeah and then they also got the lucky mo and a lucky foe a lucky mo and lucky foe the last time I got soup here at the china booth it looked like just like spaghetti noodles so I'm hoping that they improved a little bit but I mean we'll find out either way and here it is looks like spaghetti noodles that was just like the last one I think I got here for the last festival it looked it was just like spaghetti noodles but there is a beef shank in there and then bonbon got the vegetable spring rolls to try so I'm excited we're gonna dive on in you want some soup mom yeah here no soup for you there you go where's the spoon you're gonna need the beef shank just because it looks like spaghetti I'm not hating on it I'm gonna try it and I got a little bit of the shank in there with some of the noodles that's actually really good I mean I don't taste much inside the broth itself but the braised beef shank is good yeah it's not that it's actually really enjoyable honestly I would say good soup good soup try the meat it's delicious don't believe me Bonnie's diving into the vegetable rolls go ahead give it a bite let me know what you think very good very good

make our way to Germany and guess what's in Germany ma what I think your favorite cookie the linser the linser cookie I think it's there but they also have a lot of good food items too so well we might just order everything order the whole menu Germany is always one of the longest lines but this will mark number two on our holiday cookie stroll also mom look at all the holiday decorations they

gonna wear it at the same time yeah she does have the frozen you do have the Olaf one from last year that literally I remember I bought it for you on video when I was making last year's festival the holidays video how funny is that wow should have been here I guess before we get to Germany we're buying spirit jerseys now Bonnie and mom are both gonna get one instead of sharing one because I told them I don't think it would work out great here is the Germany booth and look at all of the different food they have here a porch schnitzel with mushroom sauce a cheese fondue the linser cookie that my mom's been talking about and then also we might get ourselves a flight because they got some good beer here the tank brewing roast feast beer and then they've got the hard apple cider oh they've also got some a glue vine look at that glue vine from the the office I just think a shrek oh I'm torn I don't know might have to get a little bit of everything like I said we ended up getting one of everything plus some glue vine and now we're getting our book stamped for our cookies two cookies down two cookies down I kind of sound like cookie monster but I'm trying to sound like Arnold Schwarzenegger put that cookie down if you guys have ever watched the office you'll know what I'm talking about with the glue vine because Dwight talks about it a lot especially with belch nickel and when I was talking about how I like barn Santa he's like the closest thing to like belch nickel that they would have here and that's why I think I like him so much my mom's gonna try the grew vine it's funny she never drinks but comes to Epcot and this is her third time trying drinks it's good right yeah and they put little cinnamon in there and you don't even like you like wine I do love wine you do love wine but now you love guvine cheers to spiced hot wine that is so good especially with the little men the little cinnamon sticking there I might want to get a hot toddy once we get over to United Kingdom but this is so good if you guys have never tried guvine before give it a go you might like it here is a look at all of the food we got I mean we went all out when I say yeah look at this table the stacked with snitzel spats all we've got fondue we've got glue vine we've got linser this is this is the holidays right here now we're gonna try some of the snitzel here wow that's just so good Bonnie did you dive into the fondue yet have it have some a little bit of that fondue for two what do you guys think was that a carrot yeah you like the fondue it's a lost nose covered in cheese I like how it's like you know it's like cheese inside a bread I don't want I mean I don't like the melted cheese so much the potatoes look good too and I think there's zucchini under there too I mean overall all the food in Germany is good the only thing left to try the good old linser the good old linser my mom's favorite cookie now it's time to try the linser cookie and like I said it's my mom's favorite cookie but it might be mine too I really do love it so soft it's falling apart right now and I like the little jelly in there wow that is the way as we were sitting there enjoying our linser cookie it looks like the germany like entertainment for Christmas is coming out and it's kind of like the Santa Claus thing but it's more or less like a musical act where it just you know sing some holiday spirit so I'll show you that and then I think we're gonna run back and see barn Santa real quick oh yeah well what a fine-looking group yeah even you sir oh my goodness well hello everyone I am the legendary barn Santa Norway they call me the fjord snissi now some people can't see me so they think I don't exist so wait a minute you can see me right you can see me good I can see all of you now this time of year here in Norway we like to say go you so let's all say that together on the count of three ready I'm so happy we went back to see the barn Santa that is such an awesome tale and he's a little trickster and I just love it definitely my favorite Santa of the whole entire festival I mean I don't know it's a close time it's close tie between him and father time now we have made it over to Italy and we're gonna get food from the holiday kitchen here but before that just like over in Norway with barn Santa they have Leban fauna I think her name is she's like the Christmas witch of Italy I don't know if she's a Christmas witch honestly I've seen it once or twice but it is really entertaining and I think we're actually gonna go there but here it is La Bafana a good witch sharing her Christmas adventure and also Maria's here LBV TV so she is a witch and it's kind of funny because it reminds me of that video the viral video where the guys are yelling about the wicked witch of the east and she's like hold up hold up she's a witch you know what I mean you guys know what the video turned up but she is a witch does this mean Buon Natale is Merry Christmas see Merry Christmas on the ammo you come I have a story for you today yes my name is La Bafana and I am a witch oh but I am a very good witch see now that is why I have to disguise myself because the bad witches that tease me my country in Italian so if you have been very very good I bring toys and goodies and sweets yes now if you have been maybe not so very good what do you think I might bring to you then huh oh cool I heard that oh La Bafana is going to have to keep an eye on you huh it's okay I tease you La Bafana was actually really funny and entertaining and I'm sure I'm not saying her name right but I'm trying but I did get the great Bambino and that's important because I watched the Sandlot and that was kind of a big part of that but now I think we're gonna go to the Italy Holiday kitchen and see what they what they're cooking up see what they're cooking up over there here is a look at the menu at Tuscany they've got some fine cheese tortellini and then they've got a salmon Sicilian and then also a bread pudding with vanilla cream I mean honestly it doesn't look like there's a lot to this of course the Italian margarita which honestly everyone loves the Italian margarita but the prices are always so expensive here I might be interested in that bread pudding and maybe if my mom wants to try the tortellini I know that the salmon isn't kind of like a push pop it's a salmon tartare which I will not be trying that today Bonnie do you like salmon I wish somebody tries it I like salmon are you gonna try the salmon tartare I don't really want to it doesn't I feel like now you have to you just said that Kristen's gonna try the tartare all right here it is the tortellini and broth look at this they had kind of reseal it in a little can there it looks really cool actually and then the bread pudding look at this bread pudding too honestly like I said they always say a lot about the prices but the presentation is outstanding the presentation is up where it's at all right dive on in five cheese tortellini and broth supposed to take you back to Italy here I'm excited to see what you guys think is it good how about this Italy music playing right now look at it inside there very cheesy how many tortellini they give you like five or six in there probably at least yeah but you like it you would get it again yeah oh she's going in for a second bite and I got the white sangria Maria's got the push pop and tartare cheers is it good look at that yeah it even has like a citrus to it really good oil flavoring almost like a lemon cellar oil wow let me sniff it no no wise your words have ever been said let me sniff that they were they were all saying like oh my wife is sitting out it is not it's really good so it is good believe in Maria now I'm gonna dive into the bread pudding here I'm gonna try to fork out a piece here I'm not doing too good one-handed attempt oh there you go there again now I don't know if that P word stands for cheese but if it is I'm probably not gonna like it it's a fruit oh okay it's a fruit cake oh good to know I'm going all in you know I love some bread pudding here I like it it's not that great though it doesn't taste like bread pudding is my issue like I was looking for bread pudding but it it doesn't taste like it does taste like fruit cake tastes like fruit cake but it's bread pudding now it's time to head to America mom Santa Claus and also another cookie for the cookie stroll another cookie well we have officially made it halfway around world showcase stopping at every single booth and trying just about everything now we're gonna grab the booth here in America and I'm definitely gonna get the turkey dinner here is a look at the American holiday table we've got the slow roasted turkey with stuffing mashed potatoes green beans the blackened catfish with hop and John and comeback sauce and then the chocolate crinkle cookie they also have a lot of good beers but these are all very heavy like chocolate stout white porter the eggnog beer I think I'm here for the turkey and the cookie though here are the turkey dinners I like how they put them in a bowl this year and you get a good amount these are only six dollars like isn't that like such a nice little snack but the cookie looks so good the chocolate I think it's called the crinkle cookie the trickle crinkle cook the chocolate crinkle cookie that sounds so fancy I always get this turkey dinner though and I'm impressed but I can't wait to try the cookie so let's dive in a little leftover turkey dinner little turkey din din a little bit of everything in one bite the perfect leftover oh wow what the look at the assist here I love it everyone's shining their lights on me no pressure no pressure at all it is good that is good all right Jojo you got to try some of this turkey dinner hey everybody come on happy Thanksgiving little turkey I gotta get it all gotta get it all some turkey oh don't get cranberry sauce I think my favorite part is the cranberry sauce it's weird as I grow older cranberry sauce becomes the new thing I enjoy the most it used to be stuff my mom's sitting over here nodding her head and grin as you get older cranberry stuff is the stuff that's the best look at that oh my gosh that's good right it was always six dollars I wasn't supposed to eat anything and I want some I'm sorry you get up I'm gonna go on the record and say this is the best value of the whole entire festival six dollars for almost a whole entire meal mashed potato stuffing green beans turkey cranberry and gravy for six bucks you know leftovers yeah I mean this was like super affordable all right let's get into this cookie though Bonnie ever wish bone a cookie all right let's do it yeah you take one side I take one side don't pull pull like rip I guess oh oh oh oh put that cookie down here we go with the next cookie now this is three cookies right I'll be on three dirt cookie so technically three more cookies and we get our prize are we gonna be able to finish this are we we're gonna try we're gonna go for it no it's very chocolatey very chocolatey linser is still my favorite out of all no but this is good honestly I have to say out of all the cookies though like the linser is my number one spot and then the sugar cookie that we got in connections would be number two and then this one probably would fall at number three but well that's gonna change we got the black and white one coming up and then another really cool one I think it's called the Snickers Doodle so it's like a Snicker Doodle but it's a Snickers and I'm sure this is gonna fall down the list now it's time to move along we're gonna make our way over past Japan we're gonna see the Japan menu they do have the Christmas sushi the Christmas tree sushi I'm only gonna get it if you eat it Bonnie now well we might just show the menu and then hop over to Morocco to get the black and white cookie then no sushi for you what about you the frozen hot chocolate the turkey dinner was great but now I think we're moving along we might skip over Japan because we're running out of time and we really want to get that cookie stroll done and I think after that is behind and that's where they have the black and white cookie and that one's also a really cool one so we'll just start keep on moving our way here is Laheim and they have potato lockers here they've got a pastrami on rye and of course the black and white cookie all good things here actually I like it a lot and till life Laheim holiday kitchen how does Sufi Sufi minot but

thought you were gonna cheers oh cheers wait a second the chocolate is melted usually it's like a frosting and it's dipped in there but it's melted actually the black and white cookie is actually really good it's soft and usually it's kind of like like chocolate shell on it but it's very melty I got chocolate fingers definitely need some napkins you guys used a fork you're smart but honestly I feel like it's best when you actually bite right down the middle and you get a little bit what are you trying to make yourself look like a cookie I'll do it for you man there you go now you're a

usually ask you like what I call something is it good very delicious I can usually pronounce these things at least better than yeah you definitely do it better than me I just called it vegetable sour cream forget not forget not I'm sure you'll all let me know you're not forget not alright well I have to say the lockers were a success I like them a lot now we're gonna move along to France and I wish we can see Pierre Noel but he already left for the day most of his show times ended at five o'clock but there is a chance we might catch Father Christmas in the United Kingdom and that would be amazing fingers crossed we might be able to do his last showtime is in about 15 minutes so we have to go to France and then the United Kingdom so we'll try here is the France menu and of course we're gonna have to try the frozen hot chocolate martini because that's such a popular thing but they also have a spice pumpkin punch that looks really good and then I'm also looking at this macron lollipop

we're making our way over to Canada two cookies to go to complete the cookie stroll mom I think we're gonna do it yeah I get the new one that's that port of entry I feel like festival the holidays and festival the arts don't have as many boots as like say flower and garden festival or food and wine so we're actually doing good and making really great time and there's honestly I don't think there's any other boots left except for the last two boots where you get your final cookie and then the redemption where you redeem your cookie after you finish the holiday stroll so we're about done we have made it to Canada at the Yukon Holiday Kitchen and here is a look at the menu they've got seared scallops with parsnip silk apple chutney and hazelnut croquette and then a beef borgen on Snickers doodle cookie which is the cookie I was talking about and I think I'm gonna go with the scallops actually because you guys know I'm a big fan of scallops now they also have the regional ice wine too that's also good and I feel like I haven't been trying much of the beer but they all look like the same here is the Snickers doodle cookie and it looks so good I'm actually really excited to try this now I don't know sometimes they say they're the same cookies each year but they do taste different like I feel like the black and wine taste a different this year did you yeah it definitely did taste different so maybe this one's gonna be different and then also these scallops seared scallops now if you guys recall I've never had scallops before and now I recently tried them and I love them so I'm very excited to try on this year especially with the chutney all right I'm going in on the scallops now I've only had scallops twice and they were at very signature restaurants I've had them at tiffins and flying fish so I hope the food I mean the festival the holiday scallops are just as good as all the other ones but here we go one bite here amazing I love it and I love the chutney too so good now it's time for the cookie business though gonna dive into the Snickers doodle we gonna cheers this one mom there's not too much chocolate on there break me off a piece of that Snickers doodle

stores you get a can of beef stew called Denny more yeah it's very good but that's exactly what it looks like hundred percent straight out of the can now I got to find out if it's better than Denny

cookie even though my mom wants the gingerbread cookie so we'll see if we can make it happen and do living with the land and see the projection show on spaceship earth there's a lot here it is the no Che Buena holiday kitchen and they actually have impossible churro chorizo tamale pernell which is moho pork and also the cookie that I was telling you about this is the newest one so I'm excited to try it I think we're gonna get maybe the pork and the cookie and this is gonna complete our cookie stroll we did it this is it we did it bond one last cookie oh my lord we have done goofed we've completed the cookie stroll a while ago because the sixth cookie is the winning the prize cookie and we didn't need to get five we didn't need to get six we don't need to get five how funny is that but hey we got it anyway here are the cookies and then the moho pork and I didn't even know what was inside here look at that it looks so good and I didn't know also that we only need five cookies so we are done we didn't need to get that one but it's a bonus one and I guess we're just gonna dive in it's so great to be able to do this with a big group of people because you don't have to finish all the food and everyone gets to try a little bit like as we are cutting up the donuts and some of the cookies my mom wants to cheer is every single cookie though I feel like she's in the chosen spirit I must get it from her also mom did you did you steal those glasses I did not I found them here yeah yeah you tried to stole those are property of Walt Disney World we're all trying the cookie here grab some of the cookie there this is the newest cookie this year we got to cheers though cookie cheers I switched out my hats because Maria gave me one of her new Donald Duck hats and it's from LBV Lake Bunda visitors so you guys are about to check them out but I like it it kind of looks like a duck bill on here and we're gonna try the cookie Wow oh my Lord I feel like the linser cookie might have competition here yeah you agree to the lip with yeah the linser cookie has competition here there we go we have made it to the holiday sweets and treats this is the redemption area since we've completed the holiday cookie stroll I feel so accomplished we did it time to redeem love it oh wow you get a pin this year look at this oh Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special honestly out of all the years that I have been doing this cookie stroll this is probably the coolest thing that they gave away as a reward now just be mindful that you got to experience all this and all the cookies were only $3 a piece so technically you only spent $15 to eat five cookies we'll get six cookies and to get the Guardians of the Galaxy holiday special pin and that is such I mean that is such an awesome thing I am so happy I'm not gonna eat my cookie today though I'm gonna keep it and save it but that is so cool what do you guys think of an opening day festival it's a lot right non-stop go go go tons of people we navigated it pretty well though we got through a lot we got to we did try almost everything at least one thing from every booth except for Japan we only missed one booth I think right oh and Hawaii Maliki Maki yeah so it wasn't opening day yeah today's opening day and Thanksgiving yeah a lot yeah and I guess with that we are calling it a night here I'm sad that we missed the holiday projection show on spaceship Earth I don't even know why I call it projections because it's just lighting but we did miss it a couple of things we couldn't get our chance to do including the candlelight processional but I'll be back we've got the whole month of December and I feel like today we did a great job covering all the food and I got to show my mom and sister a lot of stuff so yeah hope you guys enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it we'll see you next time bye bye


Hey, Psych2Goers, and welcome back to your favorite spot for all things psychology. Thank you so much for your love and support, enabling us to make yet another exploration into everyday psychology. So, let's begin! Do you ever wonder if your problems can be concluded to the idea that you're just too smart for your own good? Even high IQ comes with its own set of highs and lows. Sigh. We usually think of the highly intelligent as people who are destined for success and given more opportunities than others. But what if there are some problems that are more likely to arise just because you are intelligent? According to psychologists and extensive research, there are some problems smart people are more likely to have. Before we begin, please do not use this to self-diagnose as this is not a scale for rating intelligence. With that said, here are six problems only smart people have. Number one. They often suffer from psychological disorders. Yes, you heard that right. Research suggests that your intelligence can also mean an increased risk of you developing certain effective disorders. Psychologist and researcher Ruth Harpinski conducted a study in which all of her participants were members of American Mensa, a high IQ society, which requires all its members to have an IQ in the top two percent. The participants self-reported whether or not they were diagnosed with or suspected they had a range of mood disorders and anxiety disorders. Disorders reported included attention deficit, hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, and psychological diseases that include environmental and food allergies, asthma, and autoimmune disease. According to the study, this implicates high IQ as being a potential risk factor for effective disorders, ADHD, and for an increased incidence of disease related to immune dysregulation. Number two. They are night owls. Are you frequently burning the midnight oil? Are you more awake while the rest of the world sleeps? According to researchers Richard D. Roberts and Patrick C. Kylalin, evening types are more likely to have higher intelligence scores. While being a night owl may sound like a good thing, and it can be, there are some downsides to working through the night. Firstly, your schedule is likely messed up. You work long hours throughout the night without getting tired. But because of this, you stay up through the night, and then you also have to get up early for work. If you don't get the necessary sleep, you may feel tired and groggy when you have to work during the day, or when socializing with friends. If your sleep schedule is off, you likely won't be feeling as alert and well rested as your friends at 7am, which means that morning picnic you all had planned, well, you may just feel you need to cancel. You're too tired. Maybe reschedule for an evening of dancing instead. Number three. Have high expectations. Did your test scores label you as smart early on in childhood? Did this raise other's expectations of you? Even you may have these paramount expectations from none other than yourself. People expect you to succeed and achieve nearly perfect scores on all your tests because you displayed characteristics that deemed you as smart. So meeting these expectations may hang as a bit of a burden upon your shoulders, and those expectations ultimately cause you serious stress if you don't manage them effectively. It's best to take it one step at a time with whatever you do. Look towards the future, but don't be discouraged if it's not everything you thought it would be. Odds are, a year or two from now you won't be thinking about that A- on your geography exam. Number four. They're overexcitable and can have high energy. Have you ever had an intelligent friend who always seemed to be extremely intense and excitable in whatever they did? Do they go long hours without sleep because they're always hyper-focused or excited regarding their work? In the 1960s, Polish psychiatrist and psychologist Kazimierz Dabrowski introduced the concept that being highly gifted or intelligent is associated with psychological and physiological overexcidibilities, otherwise known as OEs. It's most often a sudden high energy towards a certain situation or topic. It displays itself in varying ways, such as a competitiveness, compulsive organizing, compulsive talking, impulsive behavior, and others. It's unfortunate that these OEs are treated as a problem by teachers or parents. Intelligent students and children are often mislabeled or punished due to unawareness about OEs. As research from the university Kabang San Malaysia suggests, gifted students who are frequently labeled as problematic because of their intense behavior should be given assistance in understanding and coping with their overexcidibilities. Number 5.  But notice they always tend to overanalyze things? Well, this urge to analyze likely has a strong link to their intelligence. This tendency to overanalyze may be connected to the hyper-brain hyper-body theory proposed by Ruth Harpinski and her colleagues. The theory connects being overly analytical to Dabrowski's Psychological and Physiological Overexcidibilities, or OEs. These psychological OEs cause you stress, and physiological OEs appear as a response to that stress, so as a result, overanalyzing often occurs. Let's say you receive a negative remark from someone you care about. Someone who is smart and also exhibits overexcidibilities may overanalyze the comment, causing physiological OEs in the form of the body's stress response, which means more stress and anxiety. They could be creatively imagining all the scenarios and implied meanings from this one comment, while another person may shrug their shoulders and move on. Number 6. They Can Become Super-Stressed Well, no surprise here. It was a long time coming, right? With all the extra analyzing going on, it ultimately had to lead to this. It has often been suggested that smart people are some of the biggest warriors. No, not warriors, but hey, with all the stress they've been through they might as well be called warriors too. Harpinski's studies only add to this idea that those who have a high IQ and likely display overexcidibilities are often suffering from stress. With psychological OEs, people will often ruminate and feel stress about certain situations, since physiological OEs appear from the body's response to this stress When these two interact, it can cause both physiological and psychological dysfunctions. Stress, stress, stress. The truth of it all is, the more you think and ponder on an idea, the more you may think of negative scenarios or problems, and therefore stress about them. We hope we were able to give you insight in some of the ways you can identify the sneakiness of smartness. Do any of these resonate with you?

functions. Attributes, parameters, and arguments. Alright team, welcome back. It is your biggest fan of The Real Casadero and in this vlog we're talking about the difference between arguments, attributes, and parameters when it comes to functions and functional programming.  Understanding what these different things are is going to help you wrap your head around how they work a little better and it also will help you have better conversations. And also learn faster and learn more because when you go out to read people are going to be using those kind of terms and you'll have a very firm understanding of what they are. First we're going to start with the function altogether. So a function is basically just a block of code that does something that you want it to do. So it's like a it's a machine. Just think of it as a machine. A machine where you put something in and it goes out and it does some kind of thing or maybe it returns to you some sort of some sort of object or thing. So maybe in terms of the real world so let's say we have a microwave. A microwave performs a function. We take something cold and we put it in the microwave and we turn it on. We say do your microwave thing for x amount of seconds or minutes or whatever. When it's done it beeps at us to tell us it's done and we open the microwave and we get out hot food. The microwave has performed a function. Some functions they just do whatever it is they do like say for instance the thermostat in your house. You set the temperature to one thing and whenever the temperature gets there it just does this thing. You don't have to go to the thermostat and do anything. So you don't have to provide the thermostat with any arguments at least not on the regular basis. Going back to the microwave analogy it doesn't make any sense to microwave nothing. So we're always providing something to the microwave that needs to be microwaves in this and so we can call our food that we're putting in the microwave an argument. We have to give the mic if it just makes sense to give the microwave an argument so it can perform its function and make food warm. Now we can run the microwave any time we want but it's not going to do anything but eat up energy and in the case of a computer if you run a function that's not doing anything maybe it'll eat up memory and it'll eat up a little bit of electricity and if you do this enough times it'll add up and so arguments are things that we feed into functions. Inside of the function we have we have parameters. Parameter would be say for instance in our case of the of the microwave that you have to enter a time. When we feed our argument to the microwave along with that argument so we got one argument that is food another argument may be the amount of time we want the microwave to do this thing that is going to do.  What we got is we have the microwave function that takes an argument of food it takes an argument of time and then it starts doing this thing and when it's in when it ends it beeps and that would be what that function performs but inside of that function it has the parameters I have to have so food may be an optional parameter. So if we don't give the microwave food the microwave doesn't really care so maybe there's nothing that there's no parameter inside of the function to handle food other than to take it in into say this is the food I'm going to cook and this is the food that's going to be returned when I'm done but if there's no food the function would just say I didn't receive anything so I'm not going to return anything and then your other parameter would be the amount of time that the microwave has to operate and then you have a method inside of this function which is essentially another function that says when the start button is clicked turn on these things inside of the microwave and leave them running for this amount of time and when they're done make the microwave and then our food is done. Now we know that an argument is something that we give to a function a function is just this tool it's this machine that does something that we've pre-programmed it to do and the machine may return a value or it may not it maybe it doesn't need to return a value or it does its operation because it didn't require that value in the first place then inside of the function you have a method which is essentially another function which does some other thing depending on what has happened in that function already and then that's where you can get into like the really complicated things about programming so hopefully that breaks it down a little bit for you and helps you understand functions and arguments and parameters a little better and I didn't mention I don't think I mentioned attributes they sit inside of the function and they give this function certain characteristics so different microwaves may have different characteristics like wattage or or or the way the ringer sounds or whatever we could say this microwave has these attributes and this microwave has these attributes so maybe this microwave is 50 watts and so we have to cook our food it doesn't take as much time to cook the food and this microwave is 25 watts so it takes twice as long to cook the food or maybe there's some sort of other way that microwave works I don't I maybe microwaves was a bad analogy to begin with this microwave may have a different method for the way we inner time or or something like that in this or the way it it counts what it does when we hit the start and button maybe on this microwave when we hit the start button the food starts to cook but then there's a beep every second for the countdown so that would be an attribute of this microwave and we would there would be a attribute in there that says sound beep alarm you know this kind of beep and stuff like that and if you understand programming understand exactly what I'm talking about if not this should help you wrap your head around it attributes are just features that a piece of code has and in this case a function so we've got our argument again that we feed to the microwave we have the attributes the microwave has different ways it's going to cook this food different things is going to do while it's cooking it cooking this food and then it has different methods for doing different things when the food is done or why the food is cooking or whatever and these methods can be called when we feed in our arguments to our function all right team so that is it if you like this video leave a thumbs up if you didn't like it leave a thumbs down at any rate comment so I know what you're thinking about and we can have a conversation and you guys can meet each other and talk to each other and learn more stuff from each other and grow together and become successful and prosperous as a big happy bunch of people on the internet also subscribe if you like me and you like the stuff that I'm talking about this is just a reminder subscribe and hit the bell the notification bell and click it so it so you get the things around it and it and that tells you whenever a new video is produced and it is uploaded to the internet so you can come and you can watch it and you can be entertained and you can learn a little more and you can be inspired and motivated then you can get on with your day all right team it is your biggest fan the real Casadero I will see you in the next vlog


Thank you. Well, welcome to my talk on set of set topic upstream and software distribution So let's jump right into it. What is actually the problem? We want to solve with the upstream project at free desktop the main issue is that the software we currently display on package managers and Well, these advanced tools we use for package management and Linux are displayed as packages Which sounds weird at first is pretty simple because a package is a technical item And it's not very discoverable for the user for the end average end user who is a non-technical person What a package actually means there at least in Debian tons of packages which are containing developer and symbols or Documentation or something which your user is not directly interested in because he usually or she usually wants to display Display and install an application or something else, which is more simple to discover for for the average non-technical user Another thing is that the applications if they are presented as applications are not presented well currently This means that we have different levels of localization of the descriptions of them That the quality of screenshots if there are any is quite bad because they are usually submitted by users Some are also very good, of course, but yeah generally It's not under the control of the application author who wants this application presented in a way He wants it wants others to look at it Then they are missing URLs and especially lots of differences between distributions because for each package every distributor currently writes It's its own description of the content. So on Debian We have some some descriptions the door does their does their own and so there's no Unification in that regard and the lots of duplication on efforts Also software centers at distribution specific. This means that on each distribution we currently write a new software center which which open problems and Well, not perfect integration into the desk of environment So in order to fix this we would need as common standard on how we handle applications and how we display them in In order to even make an attempt to create a distribution agnostic software center So the solution is upstream After him is an XML metadata specification of software components and I'm not talking just of applications here So for components means anything from a generic any kind of software software component to firmware Which is something currently in development with the firmware update tool Which also uses upstream to desktop applications, which is what this talk is mainly about to add ons which are extensions to To existing software or other components to codex to inputs methods and even to fonts Which is also feature which is currently in development and which GNOME already uses Those metadata Files are created by upstream projects But distributions are still required to review them and to pack them together in order to make it possible to ship them to the to the user and to display them in the final software centers, however, all the work in Translating the data and writing the data is done by upstream and by the people who know the application They want to be presented in the downstream software center best Yeah, and also the upstream specification itself is not Completely self-contained. We don't want to duplicate efforts. Therefore it Extends existing metadata for example from desktop files This means if you have a summary in your desktop file already, you don't need to write the second summary in your upstream metadata file so To get a bit more concrete on this how does it look? Oh, sorry. Yeah, and it's installed into user share up data if you want to ship it on the application You should drop the XML in there. So let's get a bit more concrete. How does it look like and what does it contain? For example, first of all and most importantly every upstream upstream XML files kind of tricky there Contains an ID which is in case of in case of a desktop application the desktop file name of this application and this ID makes it Makes it possible to find an application on any distribution out there This means if you have an ID you can if you are in any distribution get to the package name and install it this is especially important if you want to install an add-on to your software, which We just need to query the ID of this of this add-on you want to install for a software and Then call the distribution package manager to install the package which matches which contains this software component Defined by the upstream XML. This is this is really nice because you then need one only one code path to target or existing distributions Which might ship upstream data? So yeah, and this is also used to associate the desktop file with the up data upstream up data and So it's important to keep this in line with with a desktop file in case you're packaging Packaging an application which is the desktop application Then we have a long description, which is even translatable upstream so the effort of translating long descriptions of software is not It's not read done in every distribution anymore, but it's translated once for every upstream project and it contains lots of other stuff like Project links to something you use as my fight interesting and browsing the application in in a software center like noon or Apple or Gnome software for example a home page a place where you can report bugs or and help your L Where you can get to some more extensive documentation on how on the problems you might discover when working with the software? You also can define your own screenshots and multiple of them and even with captions so You can display your software the way you wanted to be shown in the software center with your own screenshots instead of relying on some user submitted screenshots This is still possible though. If you don't provide screenshots the distributor might Just ship something which was provided by users, which is what we do at Debian for example And there's also an option to to add technical items which are provided by this component This is useful if you want for example command line help if you are searching for a binary and want to know in which In which application it is in then you can then this information can be used by the system to determine Yeah, which Which software component needs to be installed in order to provide this this yeah this technical items This is for example the case with mine types if you need to have a new file type And I know which with which application we open it you can carry the upstream metadata And you will tell you a list of applications that are available which Can handle this my mind type the upstream upstream upstream xml. Sorry. It's a really bad name there There's also distribution xml with this basically The component metadata described in the upstream xml fused together in one big file This file is a general file on Debian because of reasons or xml in any other distribution Yeah, this that is a general file in Debian has mainly political reasons and yeah reasons of Specific to Debian so you don't need to care about that much Yeah, and this distribution xml file makes the data accessible for software centers and provides said component package name mapping Which is essential in order to fetch data fetch packages from the package manager which measures component Yeah, and what distributions also do is merging metadata from desktop files and other metadata They might find for your application into that xml so everything is available in one file So how does it look like as a diagram you have this compose server at the distribution which has this package where you As an upstream where your project is packaged containing desktop files and maybe the xml metadata what they compose survey the distributor does is to extract that metadata and Construct new xml out of it and also extract icons which are used to display this application Then cash screenshots and do a lot of other stuff This is the mirrored on the standard distribution mirror and shipped to the client where it is transformed into a safety and database In some cases or just read directly by an upstream supporting library Then you have your software center which takes this information and communicates with a package manager in this case through the through package kit which is a Distribution independent package management abstraction layer which contains back ends for I think almost all Distributions out there so it's really a convenient way if you want to stop packages in a disorganistic way and Yeah, makes it possible to itself and move applications by that and also pulls in some existing metadata in case there's for example No long description from the upstream file. We can still fetch the trust description from the package itself There's also a feedback server plan for ratings and comments from users But as I know web developer so far there has the specification does not contain anything about that So in case this will happen later, I'm happy to add something saying to the specification, of course If you want to access upstream, there are different options for you And different libraries what I would strongly recommend against is to implement a parser for this XML or jammer by yourself Because it can grow pretty big pretty quickly Especially because you need to support Kubuntu Ubuntu and Debian you need to you need to pass the Jammer files to so there's lip upstream which uses the sapien cache and Can also access the XML and jammer direct directly in case you need it for some reason Sapien is of course faster than the XML jammer implementation. There's lip after you cut cute, which is I think most relevant here which uses the sapien cache access and there's also which you might run across the lip upstream glib library developed and mainly you said no, but also many other projects which That's direct XML and jamming parsing and which is this thing GNOME software is based on This is written by which to use why those two are maintained at free desktop Yeah, and so don't be afraid for the next slide because there's a GNOME screenshot on it This is how it looks like in GNOME software with a long description just to get an impression What the final result is multi paragraph translated description multiple Multiple screenshots and there's also a way to display the add-ons you can install in a very user-friendly way and licensing information and Yeah, of course some technical data like category categories or sources from which repository came Also the other items I mentioned before like input methods or codecs or even fonts can be represented in a software center That way even with Examples for how the font might look like which you won't get in a package manager where you need to know what you're looking for in order to install the front So that's it for the upstream specification So but there's a different issue this talk is also about and that is the big field of distributing applications But yeah traditionally you I'm just looking at the time here traditionally a Linux distribution is an operating system and applications and An operating system is meant to be stable and doesn't shouldn't change much because you don't want surprises and Accidental breakage while applications are something different where you want the latest application the latest and greatest and Newest application shipped to your users directly without going to distribution packaging Currently the way is that you as a upstream wide software Which is packed where just a package or which at the end Goes into a distribution and remains their stable software and you can't tell your users if you for example get it back Yeah, I fixed that in the latest release. Can you please try it out because users might need to upgrade their distribution in order to do that? or use a PPA and all these different entities have different motivations and different Different things they want and all everything is saying in that way, but yeah this whole way of having an upstream which Which produces software having a packed by a package or having it in a distribution is quite takes quite a long time and makes trying new applications Much harder a rolling release distribution is of course an option, but rolling releases have their own issues like Yeah breaking sometimes and usually users want their old as stable and also be able to roll back to an older software Application version in case the new one doesn't well doesn't work as they wanted to so Short why not use PPAs? PPAs have a large security risk because they are installed with repermission and especially annoying for for people who are developing a distribution is that some people develop PPAs which interfere with distribution upgrades So they they mess with the in the namespace of the normal distribution with the packages And if the user wants to upgrade for example to a new we're going to release and there are plenty of Plenty of things where it can where this upgrade can fail in case some PPA contains a package Which is not in line with the distribution packaging So a solution to that is limba, which is a software and solution solution I I manage a develop which Subdivides the current distribution into multiple layers, which is the operating system layer Including the kernel xorg and wayland debas system defaults audio and all that stuff you would expect in a generic desktop Linux But not more so not For example, no toolkits. It's just the stable interfaces which are not expected to change then there are run times Which continue which are shared between applications, which contain all this toolkit libraries and and Different pieces one an application needs to in order to run Yeah, limba itself contains Produces bundles, which are very similar to packages which contains said upstream metadata dependency information. So which Which runtime components they need signature and payload Which is just the stuff you would usually ship in a package The main difference is that those those runtime those bundles are created by upstreams So in this case in this scenario to the Qt project would provide bundles limba bundles for Qt core Qt UI and Another stuff and you are send an upstream application developer would also create a bundle depending on those parts So I know if you want a newer version you just need to depend on a higher version of that You can simply imagine it if you are a python developer as a spy pie, which is not python specific um Yeah, in order to in order to make this work limba uses some some new kernel features like shared subtrees and recently added overlay FS and uses those features to to glue the runtime and the application together and to remove duplication between layers So if you have have one copy of Qt already, which is sufficient You don't when you will not get another one installed and he will also not get static linkage If you don't just explicitly do it because it's not needed in this scenario. You just need to depend on a different on a different limba bundle with a higher region So this whole layer is is glued together by an overlay FS mount when running the application It will also be that sandbox in future. Maybe but yeah, this is something another project is working on This is the illustration again the OS is debian then you have this individual components STL For example Qt G stream or whatever library your software once and you have the application on top of it You're making use of those bundles those ones are easily created You just need absolute metadata and make a few changes on your build system Yeah, I will go quickly over that. I think I've said most of it already One thing is which is in development is limba hub is a central place to upload your limba bundles, too But this is because I'm not adapt developer developing slowly. So maybe you will hear of it in future And yeah limba produces absolute metadata which is integrated in your software center So your software center will display not only at software, which is available in the in the distribution package manager But also which is available in limba package sources and for the user The user won't know if it's from the from the software of one notice if it's from a limba bundle or from the native distribution package manager simply because it integrates really well into the system So there's another solution developed by people at redhead and by Alexander Alexander Larson Which I will just briefly mention because there's a talk tomorrow about it by Daniel Roteal who will be going into detail about it Which centers around an OS and a static runtime. So it's not composed of different parts but it's a large piece of stuff and Yeah, this application is sandboxed it sandboxed why simply to protect the user's privacy and Don't make it access parts of the system which Which are not allowed for access. This is especially important in the mobile space, of course Yeah, those parts are always three repositories. I will just refer to the talk talk tomorrow We're about that so simply because of time reasons Yeah, and exegia parts are provided by up streams like in limba, but They are built using an SDK which is provided by larger projects like KDE or GNOME Which contains some pre-built software pieces which the application can make use of if it wants more it needs to statically link it or include it in In its own bundle. So there's no sharing of those resources anymore so comparing those solutions Limba is very flexible, but it also is very susceptible to ABI breaks in case some parts some bundle breaks ABI You will You are screwed. So this is needs to be tested by upstream stem serves They don't have have the distributors doing the work for them anymore This can be worked around of course by continuous integration solutions and other things to To catch those problems, but yeah, it's an inherent issue of this approach Also, of course limba does duplicate some things it does a good job at Avoiding lots of duplication, but it cannot remove it all because the distributor will always also ship its own copy of Qt for example Yeah, and exegia provides exactly that ABI stability if you build something with an exegia SDK you can be certain that it will work with the exegia run time and Will not change at all. We'll just maybe receive security updates, but that's it and So you must care if you want another dependency, which is not in the SDK You need to bundle it with your With your application and ensure that it stays up to date and security issue free on your own So that's it and are there any questions? And thank you for your attention, of course Yeah You're suggesting that Katie should release their own binary Yes, that would be the ultimate result of it that Katie builds For example with the framers components as bundles and those are then used by upstream projects to build their stuff on top of them So Katie you would be responsible for building it and not have it done by the distributors Yeah, I've tried it works Yeah, I tried some key components and it's working quite well As in and socially and generally we will see we need to try it Sorry Yeah, those dependencies are handled by limba limba has some some nice properties like Conflict free installation of software versions So you can install multiple versions of cute on the same system and they won't interfere They each application due to the kernel tricks will just see the cube version Which is which it depends on and which it wants to use so and the other versions are hidden from it So in order to turn the dependencies, you will just declare dependency on the bundle you You refer which contains for example cute or whatever other component you want and limba will do the rest for you in case the upstream didn't break a big Yes, in case cute doesn't Doesn't ship fixed versions on its own You would need to do that and maybe namespace those cute copies in order to well distinguish them from the upstream components That's also feasible Or Yes, it's similar to that what steam is doing and to some extent it's a Duplication of work by the district packages But I would I'm careful to say that because as a district package or you need to care for a lot more things like Upgrade paths and how everything interacts in the system, which you don't need to do with them But you just need to ensure that your application works and also limba is not designed to install things like Core system parts like the kernel or system D which it simply can't do because of technical limitations It's just designed for for applications and toolkits and libraries and not for for system parts So that's to some extent. It's a duplication, but it's not the same Yeah, that would be possible I think The in the end for example in case this takes off Distributors will ship their own limba Repositories enabled by default, which they have control over to some extent so they can ship on the stable base For example updated copies of Kate or whatever or when you or digicam or whatever application They want to be up when to have updated without interfering with the usual process of Upgrading packages in the distribution Is Exactly that's the point of it. Thank you
