Five under five. What's up money geeks, Mr. V here. Welcome to another video guys. So in this video, I want to give you guys five stocks that I see that are under $5 that you can buy and hold long term for a huge return. And again guys, one of the preferences by saying that these are stocks that I want you to buy and hold. These are not designed for you to just swing because swinging at this particular time might not be the right play. So buy this one and hold them long term so you can see growth and good returns. A lot of you guys are in the market but you just either swing or day trade. None of you guys have long term portfolio. So I want to help you guys not only trade but also build a long term portfolio. So if you don't have one, I would encourage you to definitely go to companies like Vanguard, Fidelity, TD Ameritrade and open up a long term investment account and put money in there. And when I say long term, buy and hold and only keep adding, don't touch it. So that's something that I want you guys to do. But before we get started guys, we're new to the channel. We talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So if you have something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and your notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. So guys, five stocks that are under $5 that can definitely give you huge returns. Again guys, what I want you to do is have the mindset of an investor at this particular point in time. You've seen the market is not very stable right now. A lot of stocks, especially some other tech space and EV stocks are really getting hammered right now giving you an opportunity to build your portfolio from the ground up, not start chasing. Because last year, when I told you guys to buy when things were cheap, nobody took action when the market started going up, you guys started chasing and buying at the tip. So when you see it at the bottom here, this is where you're gonna buy. Yes, you buy it, it might pull down to getting a little bit, but guess what? The bottom is almost there and from there, we're going up. So that's why I want you guys to jump in at the bottom here. So again, five stocks under $5 that I think has huge potential. If you know other stocks that are under $5 that you see huge potential, guys, don't hesitate to share them in the comment section. I'm not claiming that I have all the stocks here. I'm giving you what I have and what I'm buying under $5. So definitely share if you have any. So first one here is Touchlite that again I've covered about Touchlite here on the channel, Touchlite Energy. They are in the process of combining with Metamateria which is another great company and the reason why I really got interested in this one is because of Metamateria. They are producing these advanced materials that are used in the vast majority of industries from airline, aerospace and defense to automotive, consumer electronics, energy, Medicare. So as a matter of fact, the products that they are developing are used everywhere. So Touchlite and Metamateria are combining to form one giant company. So that's why I like them. So the ticket symbol here is TRCH if you're looking for that ticket symbol. So again, right now at $1.55, if we just go back six months here, this thing actually hit a peak of about $4.29 back in February 16. So it's not too far from the high. Again, this pullback has given us tremendous amount of opportunity to scoop in there and just pick up the stock. So again, this is one that I already have and I'm gonna keep adding to my position because I think this one has huge potential for growth. Second one on the list here is Global Star. This one's a 5G play. Again, like I said, I've covered this one. I gave you guys detailed information. If you haven't, it should be on the channel. Definitely go check them out. Again, 5G is taking over and I wanted to be in 5G and I wanted to get into 5G at a cheaper price. You have all the big names that are all in 5G but very expensive, over $100 stocks. So I was looking for a smaller place that can give me huge returns. So Global Star came into play. So right now at $1.02, but definitely if we just go back six months here, this thing actually hit a high of about $2.57 just back in February. So you can see between February and now it's almost dropped over 50%. So you're buying this one at a discount. Definitely something to start opening that position. Number three, now I want to show you guys is four-site autonomous. This one is really the future of electric vehicles, in my opinion, where not only is the car electric but you're putting a technology in the car that's better than lighter, that can dictate objects in even cloudy conditions. As you can see here in the image. So I like the company, I like what they're doing, the technology, the building, I think is going to come in handy, especially in let's say states in the northern part of the United States like, let's say, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, where sometimes you get winter conditions that you can't even see. This is something that will come in handy. So I like four-site autonomous, currently trading at $4.74. If we go back six months, just to give you guys some context here, this thing was sitting close to about $12 and now it's pulled back down to $4.74. So again, great opportunity for you to buy low and write it up and make a ton of profit. The next one I want to show you guys here is Cooler Technology. I love this company. It doesn't have the presence in the media like other companies do, but what they are building is really very solid. They are building materials that protect, let's say batteries, EV batteries. So they keep EV batteries cool when you want them to be cool and they keep it warm when you want them to be warm. So if you can see here, this is the rover on Mars and they actually protected the battery that's powering that rover on Mars. So I like Cooler Technology. I've covered it here on the channel over and over again. And I told you guys, this is one that once this thing really get the publicity that it deserve, you're gonna see it explode. So they are in all industries. As you can see, just transportation, energy storage, battery safety, 5G infrastructure. They are in cloud computing, aerospace and defense. So they are wide across the board with NASA, Boeing and all these other companies that can definitely benefit from Cooler Technology. So definitely want to add in your portfolio. Currently trading at $2.19. This one, just for reference, this one is over the counter, so OTC. So you're not gonna find it in Webull, Robinhood or any of these are really smaller brokerage accounts. You'll find it in Vanguard and Fidelity, TD Ameritrade and that's where you can buy over the counter stocks or just for reference for you guys. So definitely want to add. And then we have Sundale Cannabis. I like this one because it's really cheap. And then we still have the Biden administration hasn't even gotten to talking about legalizing marijuana. So I think this is a play that's gonna really benefit from that news and the price that you're buying, it is relatively cheap. And if it benefits from that news, you're talking about at least 10, 20, 30 X what you put in this particular stack. So again, I covered this one on the channel, gave you guys detailed information. So this is one that's currently even under a dollar that you can definitely buy. So ticket symbol is SNDL currently at 85 cents. If you can see here back in, this is just back in February, it's in got to almost $3. And then now pulling back to 85 cents. I first got into Sundale. I bought it about, I think it was about 50 cents, wrote it all the way to $2 and some change. That's why I took some profit out. And now I'm gonna reload again because once the Biden administration gets done with infrastructure, they're gonna turn around and start going to the social issues like legalizing marijuana. And these companies are gonna benefit tremendous from that kind of legalization from the Biden administration. So definitely want to add. And then I'm gonna give you guys a bonus one here. This one is ticket symbol CRNT. This one is a 5G play. This is our Israel based company and they produce wireless point to point technology for different companies. Again, it's in the 5G space. So one that I like, this one has really popped here before this pullback. See, it got to a high of about $6 and some change before pulling back now again. I think this one has tremendous amount to really double your money buying at $3 and 71 cents. And again, the way I want you to approach all of these companies guys is not just to jump in and just throw all your money in there. I want you to dollar cost average your way into the stock. So if you have $1,000 to invest, I want you to look at, hey, I'm gonna buy $200 worth of stock and see if the price drops again, you add another 100. If it keeps dropping, you average your way down. That's how you invest. Again, if you buy in reverse and start going up, you can still average your way in and try to get in as quick as possible. So your average is lower.  Most of you guys always make the mistake of not investing when the market is down. That is a huge mistake. When the market is in the red, that means the market is on sale. That's when you buy. That's when you load up and then ride it up.  When you sit there, Tesla is sitting at $300. You don't want to buy it.  Then when Tesla goes to 700, then you buy. Then Tesla drops back to 500, then you cry. So have the mindset of an investor where you're buying, each time it's in the red, you get excited. You find money and put in the market. You don't buy just when you see green. You want to buy red and then your red has to then change into green. That's where you enjoy the benefit of investing in the stock market. So I just want to give you guys that quick tip right there. Again, if you're new to the channel, guys, we talk about how to earn money, how to save money, how to invest and build wealth. So if that's something that interests you, go ahead and hit that subscribe button and the notification bell so you don't miss out on new content. Guys, also if you have some stocks that you see that are under $5 that you think are solid stocks, don't hesitate to share them with us in the comment section. Also, if you're looking to get started with investing, Weibo has their promotion where if you sign up and deposit $100, you get some free stocks, links in the description below. And as always, guys, do your due diligence.  Stay motivated.

Call all hands, split the quarters. Distribute battery. One broadside into it, please, Captain Bush. Pointes on target. Trim stops ready. Aye, aye, sir! Bad sea as foresters, indomitable man of the sea, a ratio of hornblower. He tells himself that it was at such and such a time that he changed, that he grew, that he shaped himself into what he was to be forever after. With me, that time was in the weeks following the death of Captain Sawyer, the man of war, Renan. I was only fifth lieutenant aboard our ship, and I didn't know then that I was making myself into a man who might someday be worthy of a command. Did you think my talk with the men had an effect? It may be too early to tell, sir, but what was your impression? Well, sir, your talk was really divided into two parts. First, the announcement of the captain's death, which, of course, was your idea, Mr. Hornblower. Mine, sir. Yes. You remember, here in the wardroom, I said it would cause unrest when this news got about among the men, and that's when you spoke up. You said, wouldn't it be best to get them all together and tell them immediately before wild rumors start? Oh, yes, I did say that, sir, but, of course, I felt that that was what you were about to suggest yourself. It followed so, well, so logically on your own thought that we couldn't chance unrest. You thought I was about to say it? Yes, sir. Yes, but you didn't wait for me to say it. I'm sorry, sir. You weren't by any chance, Hornblower, trying to tell me how to run this ship? No, sir. Naturally not. No, I shouldn't allow that, you know? Well, of course not, sir. I'm in command here. Yes, sir. On the other hand, Mr. Hornblower, we all know that I have not had a command before, and I hope I will not be so obstinate as not to listen to the ideas of my officers. There's another matter, rather a serious thing. I... What is it, sir? Nothing. Nothing. There was something on my mind, and momentarily I thought I'd discuss it, but never mind. I'll make the decision myself. That will be all, Mr. Hornblower. Mr. Hornblower? Yes, sir. What do you think number one will do? By what, sir? You know what? Down in the captain's desk are the captain's papers, and among those papers are the secret orders under which we sailed. What do you suppose those orders are? Well, sir, they may be just routine orders directing us to join Admiral Bickerton's squadron. Maybe. Or they might be orders to sail under tax service on some secret mission, something dangerous, possibly. What's Mr. Buckland likely to do, eh? I know what I'd do, sir. What? I'd open those orders immediately. Well, what's easy enough for you or me to say, but Buckland hasn't got a captain's commission, and those orders aren't for the eyes of a mere lieutenant. Is master of the ship, Bush? Oh, I know. By accident, that's all. He can take the ship into Antigua. There's probably some junior captain there who can take over there. Do that, and miss his chance to be master? Well, if he doesn't go to Antigua, you'll have to read the secret orders. If he does that, he could be reprimanded for his presumption. Possibly, but if he puts into Antigua and then has to beat back to Windward, the lords of the Admiral, they'll wrap his knuckles hard. Oh, whichever he does, it's chancey. Very chancey, isn't it? I know. I wouldn't want to be in Buckland shoes. I would. What? It's the chance of a command, the chance of tax service, don't you see?  Yes, sir, Mr. Bush. I expect I am. Talk to Buckland about those sealed orders. But a fifth lieutenant, fourth now that the captain was dead, cannot bring up such things without being asked. There was a tension and excitement within me that cried out to have the secret orders opened. I found that I couldn't contemplate the idea of putting into port without some disgust at the weakness of such a course. It was Buckland, however, that sent for me later that same day. I... I have a decision to make, Hornblere. Sir, if I... if I can help you in any way, sir? Oh, I can discuss it with you if you understand my position. That it's my decision at all that. I quite understand that, sir. Well, then, um... Hornblere, it's about the sealed orders, huh? I haven't opened them. I thought not, sir. I'm not sure whether I should. Would you like an opinion, sir? Just an opinion, of course, yes. I think you should open them, sir. It might get me into trouble. It might get you into trouble, not to. Antigua is not far away. That's quite true, sir. I could go there directly. I could have a hire official open the papers or a junior master assigned to the ship over me. Exactly, sir. What do you mean? I mean, sir, that you have some right to think of yourself. This ship is yours to command, huh? If you put into Antigua, someone else may be put in command, and you would lose a great opportunity. But if that's what the Lords of the Admiralty would want... The Admiralty, sir, would be very much impressed, I should think, if you opened the orders and carried out whatever the ship's mission successfully and with dispatch. You think, sir? I do, sir. I believe that the Lords of the Admiralty like officers who display initiative. Initiative? Yes. You think it will be all right, Hornblower? I think it is a great opportunity, sir. Mike, Joe, then, I'll do it. I've made my decision, Mr. Hornblower. I congratulate you, sir. Hello, Mr. Hornblower. Mr. Scarborough, the talent officer. Hello, Mr. Hornblower. Look! Look there! It's just a flying fish. Yes, and there's another. Such excitement over a flying fish. I never saw one before. You'll see plenty of them before this voyage is over. That depends on what we're headed for. Or, I imagine, number one, Laura's to put into Antigua. I don't think you... Look, that's Mr. Robert. Oh, I've seen him before. Yes, but he's been below with Buckland. Is this a reason for such excitement? What's the matter, Mr. Hornblower? Mr. Roberts? Mr. Roberts, sir? Oh, there you are, Hornblower. You know about this thing, don't you? Yes, sir. What thing? He's the heir of some secret. Number one was going to open the secret orders. What? He's done it. He's read them? As far as I know, yes. What did they say? They were secret orders. If Mr. Buckland had taken me into his condoms, I still could not tell you. True enough. So we're down the wiser. There's Mr. Buckland now on the bridge. We don't know. I want to know. That's my soul. Do you still expect to know what lies in store for you? We've been at war since 93. Nearly 10 years of it. Mr. Weston is today. Halifax tomorrow. Your bay orders. Helmer Lee, let go and haul.  Who cares? We draw our four shilling a day. Rain or shine. Mr. Carberry. Mr. Buckland parting a word for Mr. Carberry. It was my soul. Excuse me. Now you could earn your four shilling today, Carberry. A change in course. A wedger a week's pay. It means a change in course. No takers. Listen. Officer, the watch. Sir? We're altering course two points. Steer us our way. Aye, sir. Course our way. Mr. Rabbit. Put the hands to the braces. Well, gentlemen. You heard me. We're altering our course. Pardon, sir. Could you tell us our mission, sir? Not our mission. That is still secret, Mr. Hornblower. Okay, good, sir. But I'll tell you where we're bound. Mr. Carberry knows already. Where, sir? Santo Domingo. Scottsman's Bay. Santo Domingo. Hispaniola. Haiti. That means Haiti. Santo Domingo. Haiti. Hispaniola. Three names for the same island. Haiti. That's where the natives are in rebellion. Yes, Mr. Hornblower. That's where the natives are in rebellion. Atlantic swell as we came in sight of the low mountains of Santo Domingo. Up on the quarter deck, Buckland appeared through his telescope at the land. Bush and I stood or rather slipped and slid on the rolling deck, waiting to see what Buckland might decide to do. Bush has always was a placid, calm, patient. I was filled with the tension that had been with me for so many days. So I do have to confess that some of it was just plain, old and new seasickness. Feeling the role of the ship, Mr. Hornblower? I am. Well, it wouldn't be a little seasick. Oh, she does role, Mr. Bush. I feel all right. Well, you always do. What's Buckland doing up there? Can't he make up his mind? Well, he has to see how the land lies. How much more does he want to see? There are the Spanish colors flying on the fort up there. Everybody on shore knows by now that a ship of the line is piling about. Well, we had to pull in here. Yes, but you'd think we went at war with the Spanish the way we've come in so openly. Those dons in there won't have to be very clever to guess that we're not here on a yachting trip. Now, they've all the time they need to be ready to receive us. Well, what else could Buckland have done? Well, he could have come in in the dark with a sea breeze. He could. But if the dons couldn't see us in the dark, we couldn't see them either. Well, nothing. I mean, come in with landing parties ready. Then at dawn, put them ashore. Storm the place before the dons knew there was any danger. You know something, Mr. Hornbligh? What's that? You seem to want danger. Well, perhaps. I'm not sure. Well, maybe you just want a command. I don't know what you mean by that, sir. Nothing offensive. I was just thinking about you, that's all. Ever since the captain died, you've been putting yourself in Buckland's place. Thinking what you do if you found yourself in command. Well, it's natural, isn't it, sir? For you, perhaps? Well, I'd have thought that... Hello. Hello. What are you putting about? So we are. What now? Out to sea while Buckland thinks out what he's seen. I suppose it's a mess, sir. Well, you'll feel better when we get out of this swell. Better in one way, perhaps. But I wouldn't mind to see sickness of people going into action and not running away to think about it. What a farreater. Farreater, me? Oh, quite the opposite, sir. I wish... No. I wish for too much, I suppose. You wish for action. You're going to get it, you know? I imagine so. We'll pull in to attack that fort. Then we'll see how you behave yourself, Mr. Hornbligh. Mr. Buscher! Mr. Buckland's golf limits are pleased to run your guns out. Courage! Mr. Buscher! Mr. Buckland's golf limits, and will you try a ranging shot at those shore patches when you're gun-drafting? Very well. Do you understand, Mr. Hornbligh? Yes, sir. They probably have batteries on both sides of the harbour. Yes, sir. Oh, Mr. Busch. Yes? Look over there. No, no, no. Over in the direction of that point of land. I see the point. Oh, do you see the smoke? That... That heating shot. I guess, eh? The fort's open to fatherness. They're firing on this side too, sir. So they are. They'll be caught in a crossfire in a minute. That's what you wanted, Mr. Hornbligh. Action, eh? Yes, sir. Sir. Yes? I might just reach the battery on this side now, sir. And this is the time to fire. See to it, Mr. Hornbligh. All right, man. First division, ready? Fire! Uh, I don't think so, sir. They're answering us now. Pour it into them. All right, division captains. Once again. First division. Fire! Did you get a hit? Yes! Mr. Buscher, what a fire. What? That was hot shot. Look, the deck's smoldering. Fire buckets here! Fire buckets! Yes, sir. Mr. Buckland, sir. How'd you put out this fire? If you could spare some more men from top deck, sir. We can't. There's a fire there too. I'll do my best here, sir. You men! Look, sir, for those fire buckets! It's even worse on top deck. What do you think, Mr. Busch? We'll never get these fires out, sir, as long as we're in range of their guns. We can't spare enough men. There's a chance they may hit us again with their blasted hot shots. I know. I know. I've had to give orders. We're going to put about and run her out to sea. I'm sorry, sir. What, sir? Oh, no, no, no, no, no. We run aground. Keep at this fire. And you, Mr. Hornblower, keep firing. I'll go topside and see if we can get her off. First of all, sir! We're in for it now. Yes, you can feel the ship's trailing. When's Highwater? Highwater will not for over an hour, I'd judge. We'll never get her off till then. By then, it'll be too late. It seems so.  Rest and return. Ah! Mr. Bush, what is it? Do you notice any movement while I fire a gun, sir? No, only the jar. Well, it's the jar, I mean. The whole deck lifts under it. Oh, it does. Oh, I could fire all my guns at once. And that might break the suction, sir. By Jove, it might. It might indeed. All in stock's growing. All right? I'll just set out to sea to get the shipboard fires under control. And finally, the last of them was out. We've failed in our mission. So far? So far? There's nothing more to do, but continue on to Antigua. I wouldn't want to be in poor old Buckland's shoes. Not in your own apparently. Oh, I'm sorry for Buckland. You wouldn't want to be in his shoes? I would.  What do you mean? You said before you'd like to be in Buckland's place. That was before he opened the sealed orders. You'd open them in a minute, you said. Well, he did it. And look what it's got him. It's got him the opportunity of a lifetime. You, you mean? I? Certainly. You save the ship, you know. Everybody knows this. If you hadn't had that idea about firing all your guns at once, we'd have stayed there on the shores, and, well, by now we'd all be dead, or prisoners of the dons. Thank you, Hornblur. All the dons, yes. But just because you feel good about having done well yourself, you shouldn't be blinded to the fact that poor Buckland is going to get his knuckles wrapped. But, sir, don't you see there's no necessity for that? We turned tail, we retreated, we were a fire. We were apparently limping back to some home port. The dons must be relaxed. They don't expect us back. Nor will we go back. Yes, but we should. Under cover of darkness this time. Oh, what an opportunity for Buckland. Hornblur, the better I get to know you, the more I stand amazed. Michael Redgrave is based on the novels by C. S. Forrester. Music composed and conducted by Sidney Torch. A Harry Allen Towers.


Cat owners tend to be very familiar with their pet's bathroom habits, thanks to litter box duty. Cleaning the box isn't anyone's favorite chore but it can be an excellent way to keep an eye on your pet's urinary tract health. If your cat's bathroom habits change, it might be a sign that they have a urinary tract problem. Cats of any age can have problems with their lower urinary tracts. Some cats are prone to urinary tract infections, UTIs, that go away after taking antibiotics. Other cats get blockages and bladder stones that need surgery to fix. Learn more about cat UTIs and other urinary tract problems and how to treat them. While cats often have urinary tract issues, our kitty companions are more prone to urinary tract disease than infections. Cats that do develop urinary tract infections are typically 10 years of age or older and often suffer from endocrine diseases, including hyperthyroidism and diabetes mellitus. If your feline companion is displaying symptoms of a urinary tract infection, see below, and is diagnosed with cystitis, your veterinarian will prescribe an antibacterial to help battle your cat's UTI. The most common symptoms of urinary tract infection in cats include reduced amounts of urine, straining to urinate, pain or discomfort when urinating, not urinating at all, urinating around the house, outside the litter box, and passing urine tinged with blood, pinkish color urine. These symptoms may be caused by a urinary tract infection, but there are also numerous feline lower urinary tract diseases, flute, that may cause your cat to display the symptoms of UTI that were mentioned earlier. Feline urinary tract disease, flute. Flute, feline lower urinary tract disease, is actually a term that covers many clinical symptoms. Flute can lead to issues in your cat's bladder and urethra, often causing the urethra to become blocked or preventing your cat's bladder from properly emptying. Left untreated, these conditions can even become serious or life-threatening. If your cat is suffering from flute, they may find urination difficult, painful, or impossible. They may also urinate more often, or in inappropriate areas outside the litter box, perhaps on surfaces that feel cool to the touch such as a bathtub or tile floor. Causes of feline urinary tract disease. Flute is a complex condition to diagnose and treat since there are multiple causes and contributing factors to this disease. Crystals, stones, or debris can gradually build up in your cat's urethra, the tube connecting the bladder to the outside of your cat's body, or bladder. Some other common causes of lower urinary tract issues in cats include incontinence due to excessive water consumption or weak bladder, spinal cord issues, urethral plug caused by the accumulation of debris from urine, bladder infection, inflammation, urinary tract infection, UTI injury or tumor in the urinary tract. Congenital abnormalities. Emotional or environmental stressors. Urinary tract disease in cats is most often diagnosed and overweight, middle-aged cats who have little to no access to outdoors, eat a dry food diet or do not get enough physical activity, although cats of any age can get the condition. Male cats are also more prone to urinary diseases since their narrower urethras are more likely to become blocked. Using an indoor litter box, emotional or environmental stress, multi-cat households or sudden changes to their everyday routine can also leave cats more vulnerable to urinary tract disease. If your kitty is diagnosed with flute it is essential to determine the underlying cause. Flute symptoms can be caused by serious underlying health issues such as bladder stones or infection due to cancer or a blockage. If your veterinarian is unable to determine the cause of your cat's flute, kitty may be diagnosed with a urinary tract infection called cystitis which is inflammation of the bladder. Hello.

Symptoms of feline urinary tract disease in cats. If you suspect your cat has flute or a cat urinary tract infection, watch for the following symptoms. Inability to urinate, loss of bladder control, urinating small amounts, urinating more than usual or in inappropriate settings, avoidance or fear of litter box, strong ammonia odor in urine, hard or distended abdomen, cloudy or bloody urine, drinking more water than usual, excessive licking of the genital area, lethargy, vomiting. It's critical that any bladder or urinary issue be treated as early as possible. If left untreated, urinary issues in cats can cause the urethra to become partially or completely obstructed, which can prevent your feline friend from urinating. The symptoms above indicate a serious medical issue that could quickly lead to kidney failure or rupture of the bladder. Flute can quickly be fatal if there is an obstruction that is not eliminated immediately. Diagnosing feline urinary tract disease. If you believe that your feline friend may be having problems with their lower urinary tract, contact your vet right away, especially if your cat is straining to urinate or crying out in pain.  Ultrasound, radiographs, blood work, and urine culture may also need be done. Treatment. Recommended treatments for a urinary tract problem will vary depending on the cat's situation. For instance, in Tyler's case, antibiotics were prescribed to knock out the infection. If your cat needs to go on antibiotics, be sure to follow the instructions and finish the entire prescription even if your cat seems better. The infection could recur if you stop the medication early. In most instances of a urinary tract issue, you'll need to increase your cat's water intake. Here are three suggestions to help you do this. Make sure your cat has a bowl of fresh, clean water that's easy for them to access.  Shift their diet to include more wet food, which contains more moisture than dry kibble. Alternatively, you can try soaking the dry kibble in water for about 15 minutes to moisten it. As with any change in diet, it is best to ask your veterinarian for advice on how to best approach it. In addition, it can help to scoop out the litter box more often so you can keep a better tab on how much and how often your cat is going to the bathroom. Most cats prefer a squeaky clean litter box, so it can also help your ailing cat feel more comfortable when they go. Antibiotics can treat cat UTIs. Your vet will prescribe the right medication for your pet. They can advise you on diet changes that might prevent future UTIs. Clearing obstructions in the urethra. The vet will insert a tube into the urinary opening and flush the area with sterile fluid to clear the obstruction. Follow-up care may be required as well. If your cat has diabetes, thyroid disease, or cancer, talk to your vet about treatment options. Cat urinary tract issues are serious and you should not ignore the symptoms. Call your vet if you think your cat has a UTI or other urinary tract problem. Note, the advice provided in this video is intended for informational purposes and does not constitute medical advice regarding pets. For an accurate diagnosis of your pet's condition, please make an appointment with your vet. Prevention Tips With proper treatment, a urinary tract infection will usually resolve itself within a week. However, it can recur, so it's good to watch out for the symptoms and take some steps to help prevent another bout. Add more canned food to your cat's diet to help increase water intake. Consider buying a pet fountain. Some cats will drink more water when it runs fresh from a fountain. If you enjoyed this video, kindly press the like button.

Thank you for coming, so quick question, how many of you are a Java developer in this room? Oh, nice. And how many of you are heard about Carcass? Okay. I think I will put them up because you guys are doing a lot of work. So, yeah, today I'm going to talk a little bit about Carcass green subredacted Java developers. So, I just made one of my open shipping clusters this morning, but I don't know just showing down. So, maybe the end of my live demo, maybe not going to work today, but I'm really sure that thing, like a YouTube channel or just normal stuff. So, my name is Daniel. I'm working for Red Hat at a middleware, some videos unit. I focus on technical modeling stuff, create a demo on Portia and Slice app and some material to use everyone. And I post on cloud application and cloud made runtime, SliBoo, Node.js, PerkX, and etc. and PerkX. And out of Red Hat, I'm a CNC investor, a DevOps Institute investor.  So, these days I'm reviewing and I find one of the top 25 applications that I will track in QtCon next in Amsterdam in Europe. And there are pretty interesting topics I saw.  People really want to talk about application development and probably running Red Hat actually application development. So, just a couple of months ago, I was there in QtCon in San Diego So, I met many people and they say, yeah, I am developer. Oh, really? So, and after that, they are all Kubernetes development, not application development. So, they have the yellow flag in hand and Kubernetes is here, not actual development. So, I just want to talk about application development. I've been a long-time Java developer for more than 20 years. And I am the open source document press founder, invented by Red Hat. But it's a better, natural, neutral website that you can write anything about open source. Kubernetes or any open source environment you can share. And if you are interested about share your ideas and thoughts and any suggestions, just let me know. You can follow my Twitter and you can post my e-report through it and then you can send me an email directly. Any interesting stuff, Milo and my specialty at CNCF. And it's an office example, just let me know. So, the application architecture keeps changing and growing along with the new platform and technology trend. So, decades ago, maybe 1990s or early 2000s, we are playing with the modernization application, three key architecture like the web server, the application server, and database desktop, and Oracle and IBM, that's all. Sometimes JLCAP, sometimes, most times, Oracle and IBM. So, the modernization application was pretty cool. I was there. The problem is really hard to maintain. If you want to do one single code, you need to test every single detail, like the regression test, the performance test, the functionality test, and any regression test. If you do something wrong, just follow that, you need to do everything over again, over again, even late night. That's why, oh, how do we fix this problem? So, that's why the microservice was born from Netflix, OSS stuff, and Spring Boot back in 2013. Pretty awesome. Now, the developer just focused on their own application and running on Spring Boot, and no need to install everywhere in Milo at the start. So, microservice was born. And Kubernetes was came up back in 2014, and everybody, everything changed. Because the long time is now Kubernetes. It's not an option. It's necessary. New platform, immutable infrastructure with Linux container and technology. So, now, you don't need some dynamic capability at the moment. So, back in 1995, Java was came up, and the one of the awesome of Java technology is dynamic capability. So, you just create Bifold, and you could run your Java application any application server for serving your VG surcast around the world, a web-based architecture. That was really awesome. So, what is this dynamic capability?  Everything will be done at long time rather than near time. That is a super awesome feature of Java technology at that time. But now, we have Kubernetes immutable infrastructure, which means you need to deploy the same application thousands of times on your Kubernetes cluster, not just tens of, not 100, not 10 virtual machines. So, you need more of some refillable tasks rather than dynamic capability. So, that's why Java has some concern and issue to optimize the some memory for free stuff in the starting time. And cloud-nabel is a definitely depends on Kubernetes stuff. Some people confuse between microservices and cloud-nabel. Microservices was born for Kubernetes and means container technology, which means Linux container like Docker and OCI and Clio, and also Kubernetes is good to have for microservice, not microservice. But cloud-nabel application is a must-have to Kubernetes stuff. So, that is a little bit similar, but totally different. And serverless. So, whenever I try to talk about serverless stuff and the people, oh, yeah, I know serverless. What's that? I don't know. This is the truth. But now, we have a Kubernetes. We have our own plan in Kubernetes and Bonilla Kubernetes. How do we make it happen? The same functionality like N is in London. So, luckily, Google made a KNA, like some creative blocking, and you can build your microservice application as serverless. And a whole bunch of things are keep moving forward to event trigger. So, common deployment platform on this architecture, is the technology, Kubernetes, KNA, and Istio. So, Istio is a... How many of you are from Istio's private Istio? So, it's a match. Just you? Really? Because you are old developers? Or you are not interested about some Kubernetes stuff? Yeah, Istio, so, currently, the KNA is based on Kubernetes platform to build, deploy, manage your microservice application as a serverless. And KNA has Istio sub-smash as default. That is normal, but they all will be removed soon. So, by the way, Istio sub-smash came up to help out the developer potential concern. When we... Okay, let's say I am a Java developer and I needed to develop a microservice application, running on multiple clusters, multiple node types, in production, local environment as well. And you may put about some 12 factories and so many microservice principles instead of... So, they are saying you need to handle non-functionalities of microservices, which means you need to figure out how to handle forward torrents and smart models and connect with the deployment and failover. There are so many things to do, so I can break them. But this whole bunch of things, mandatory for running your microservices in production, not local environment. So, more for this concept, who were handling this kind of capability is of the team's responsibility. But we are moving in devos and microservices came up and people really rely on developers, super-developers, and their developers... Okay, I put in some property and I put in some calculation to handle circuit breaking for torrents or some smart loading. All of these things should be added in your application, Java, method or property flyer or demo flyer. Not even... This is not related to your business loading. I need to put just, if else, forward loop and some business loading. I need to focus on that thing and optimize it. Now, take care of that non-functional capabilities. So, that's why Istio Service Smash will handle that instead of for developers. So, behind the scene, the onboarding policy sidecar, that is the running inside the same pod next by your application container and handle the network traffic and logging and metrics and the authentication and circuit breaking. So, Istio Service Smash will handle that. That is the Service Smash technology. So, microservices who are clouded is kind of journey, not one-day happy. So, from migration from on-list to microservice and using some CIC in pipeline stuff. And the next step is Service Smash and the last thing is some last event. So, enterprise Java architecture just like that. I already said many years ago unfortunately, not just two hours earlier, I ran the next Java the focus hands-on workshop and I asked some people and some people still play with me some historical enterprise Java step which means middle-ware application server like Tomcat or RedMotive, IBM on top of that, Web server Apache or the other applications. Web server and database, three tier and application lifecycle month or one month, two months and memory at least to give in reality and the starting time therefore we won't be needing something like that and you guys already have experience something like this. And in a modern application in Java step, things are changing the single application like Spring Boot Node.js, Cortex and the application at second quite short days and memory smaller and start of time maybe second. But problem is the right side here so dynamic application framework and application server inside like embedded Tomcat and then there is something like that it's a scale there and JVM no change even we are moving to Kubernetes yesterday. So that's what we need to so I just evaluate my old Microsoft application in Kubernetes and oh, some of the application can be handle eventually but not real time like a request response HTTP protocol maybe it can be synchronized and it can be handled by the Kafka cluster and the topic, messaging stuff. But how do I do that? You need to install a Kafka server and you need to run some event driven technology what is that? You need to run projects, you need to some another program language it's definitely related to your job security in the next five months so this is really happening so that's why some people really hate some event driven and even server less because they need to run something new because the Java have some issue and potential problem to go to server less so this is just some survey so people really love to know JS and Python and Go I actually have some experience to develop Go because a couple years ago Go is just super popular so Go could be next generation foreign language so everybody needed to learn Go and also to create some PR in the Kubernetes ecosystem project all implement by Go Go is maybe next my mission so I play with that sometime but you know what in my opinion Go is not good for actual application development it's more of course on low level engine or core so this is the new trend for server less so what is the hidden truth of the Java with the Linux container and running on Kubernetes so the left side is the blue box is just Kubernetes worker node so let's say we have the same capacity worker node same memory same CPU some same hardware and we can deploy the traditional cloud native Java step for example Springboard so just full application can be running and node is twice time it's double time and Go is triple time this is more the high the resource density perspective so okay so when I show this slide step to operation team manager he really love that okay now I can find a way to save my money because all developer if all developers can develop the Go language and to create some application and we just save our hardware so don't tell me we need to buy new servers yeah but that's not gonna happen because everybody is doing some Java or Node.js but don't want to run anything new because the running cloud may happen so what happen in the Java so there are two things start up and memory just right side here so there are some overhead some loading classes and bytecode and just in time compiler based on that and memory overhead is the parsing descriptor and the read annotation so many things to do at runtime rather than build time but that is really awesome features in the 1990s and early 2000s but now we have a different infrastructure so things change so we already have made this one so name is quark is the some physics quantum like a very tiny some people told me why didn't you make some name like Ant-Man because people really easy to understand and remember but we don't have any money to give some Marvel studio and Disney so that's why quark is very small and means engineering everybody is doing engineering people so engineering people really focus on optimizing and making faster making easier and making high performance so this is the name from but subtitle is the supersonic subatomic Java supersonic came from the queen song supersonic mannerism and subatomic is a very small tiny stuff and this is a whole bunch of based on Java which means if you are a Java developer you don't need to run anything new it's pretty similar pretty familiar using maven command and the same as the api even you can run spring with the application on top of that so one thing you should be aware of here I just removed the monolith architecture so some people just asked me hey Daniel how do we migrate existing Tomcat based Java application to quarkers you should so quarkers more focus on definitely focus on cloud name microservice and suba less and even architecture monolith application if you want to migrate it's not migration you need to rewrite and redevelop so please please don't migrate from existing some heavyweight franken style application to quarkers please don't do that so let me show you quickly about how quarkers works here so one of ways to get started quarkers application to one month here is quarkers.io so we have an official website like a spring.io so you can go to find any practical and useful any fun stuff here if you are a developer and click on start coding you will have some experience about the quarkers spring stuff and maybe spring.io maybe beginning and starting point to develop the spring application right so this is a very similar but really convenient so extension means it's a dependency so let's say I want to add some less let's pull API capability to communicate database or I want to add something else in my java application how do you do that so the normal way okay I need some download some dependency library like from maybe repository like some java stock and I put in some application profile key and valuable and after that you need to add some annotation mandatory syntax your java method that is normal way typical way but so boring and if you made a mistake just one single line your application not going to work so that's why we made some make it simple and extension is capability so you can add any extension like a click on or even you can search and also here the build tool as deep or maybe build but you can use grad as well but you should take here you can use grad we are a little bit more testing but still tech preview but you can still use the technical but I'm more maybe person so let's say okay maybe less easy and some hibernate and hibernate with the panache so this is one of my favorite hibernate with the panache anyone have heard about what panache is no one okay very nice so when you create the java beans to interact with the RLDBMS you need to create a data setter for some java attribute in your java mesh to bring to you the dbms but the panache auto wire so you don't need to define getter, setter in your java mesh any longer you just define the attribute the private private string telephone number and after that getter, setter, automatic auto wire by purpose using panache extension so pretty easy make it shorter, you are the code line and pretty easy to read and understand by any other developer so once you select whatever you want and maybe you can change your group name or something that called cg or corpus click on generate your application automatically download the g file and unstrag your g file and go to the here and now you can see just select the default maven architecture so that's why you can find the maven architecture and the source directory and the maven test something like that and now let's get started really easy and same and I already pulled down one application so here is my local environment and same thing I'm a maven guy so and you can use any id tool so in my case I just want to use VS code I'm going to zoom in a bit to see you can see back there perfect size some change in code as a default ok here we go so once you open the application the project you are preparing the tool you can see src directory and some maven command and palm xml file here you can see the current the corpus version here the race one is the 1.1.1 final and the 1.2 will be coming soon and this is 100% open source project anyone can use that just like the java frame up and we will support as a product the corpus around may and april end of april but after the productization you can still use the open source project for your application development and some dependency we will be showing up here dependency area just like normal maven architecture and you can use maven plugin to compile build and packaging and one thing here we go and the corpus has all native java file so corpus inelable java developer build two type of application artifact one is just the uber or fetcher the java file and running on jvm hotspot technology and the other one is the corpus build application as executable file you can run that file without jvm so let me show you just a mini wrapper there is one simple java application as simple here I just put in the rest api so here is the rest api endpoint and return hello let's say I am java developer I just want to make sure if this application works properly so this way just run maven and compile and corpus and call on depth it's a development mode so one of the beauty of the corpus here it's already up and you can see here live coding activation and we just need to here zoom out so you can see the debug to run debug mode the corpus support is already open and you can see here the current version of the corpus and the development activated and live coding activated what does that mean just open new web browser localhost 8080 and this is the landing page of the corpus endpoint hello I am going to zoom in a little bit more bigger bigger bigger so this application works totally so what are we going to do next let's change the code so just simple change the code welcome corpus today and I just saved the file here and reload the web browser and just change that and back to the here and I just need the hot place just need 0.7 seconds so this is a live coding means so in backhand we just the developer perspective they need to recompile and redeploy and re-running my application maybe sometimes a hotspot make it shorter but still there are three steps should be done whenever you change the code but corpus when you just reload web page or when you just call endpoint like a call command this corpus make it happen automatically and some people saying it's a magic query so this is a live coding means and this is end of the day make it happier for the developer make it shorter the developer productivity and developer working and daily work I'm going to be shutting down my local environment and reload the page so it's gone ok and next step is oh yeah I need to packaging my application ok I already done my application code change so same the command line the maybe and I'm going to skip the unit test because they hear the unit test they expect hello but I already changed the welcome so I'm going to skip that I'm not going to mess up and maybe in packaging they skip testing the same command line so no need oh in order to build the corpus application I need to run I need to remember new command line don't need it to that just same thing I already success and using Java command to run target directory and corpus and run the job file but in order to that here is my macro the monitor activity the activity monitor and I already run the couple of JVM oops so ok here we go I have already running for JVM so big one is also 500 red and a smaller one 47 and second smaller one almost 190 just remember that back to here and run application oh it's running but things change it's a profile activity what does that mean I'm going to show you that thing and we just need to hear 0.5 second half a second to start up so one of the reason the developer really love to spring build is the oh super fast just couple of seconds to start up but this is faster than any other Java long time but yeah 1.5 second and half a second doesn't matter I play with the spring go ahead doesn't matter but I want to just show we change some technology and back to the web browser and server still and here monitoring once again Java here and now we here small one here ok so memory put in to run this simple RESTful API with the JVM so 82.3 megabyte very small but just remember that I'm going to show you another interesting stuff and what is that under resource directory it's one single application property file so all developers sometimes made a mistake to change configuration for me I went doing some times many years ago and I ruined all production environment because there was some CICD stuff I changed the code and property file just for my local environment and I pushed the code and that is automatically deployed to production in just 5 minutes I didn't even recognize that thing and my manager came to me what did you do oh man but this is something happening everywhere so that's why so we have the different files the property files for local environment or the staging production or metadata database or you can put in some comment do not change this property file because this is only production so parkers when you run parkers development mode and they will pick it up the default property so if you add some thing properly with some prod something name equal Daniel and after that you build this application using Maven the parkers or the wires that start with prod prefix and not pick any others so you can define multiple property like a stage or some test you can define any prefix to package and during the development mode and the Maven package command line is automatically auto wired prod prefix and without prefix if you define some test staging you need to pass down that parameter like a dash D something like that okay back to here and I'm going to skip I want to last my maybe today demo stuff so same thing Maven package and I'm going to use the profile of the Maven images it's going to take longer than the Maven just a package to build because the native executable image the parkers build everything at build time rather than long time so we put in some dependency imagine the Linux container Docker the Docker container contains everything the runtime, application code and dependency that's why Docker and containers has all immutable and holdability features to run any Kubernetes any container engine so this is maybe similar so the executable file contains any dependency to run this application that's why it takes a little bit longer but just one time build and deploy a thousand time on your Kubernetes after containerization so already done and you can see the target data and now you have the runable file here and just using just how to run this application just run the file because this is executable file it's the macbook security stuff now you can see here it's just 22 milliseconds to start up the same application but different start up time so if you have just 20 microservices Java application and running on single Kubernetes cluster and you don't need to use parkers just doing whatever you need but you have maybe 100 of a thousand Microsoft Java application and running on maybe 100 Kubernetes worker nodes and you need to deploy every day but one deploy means maybe a thousand power application so which one would be better and just imagine some less stuff so some less so without any request in the meantime like a 30 second or 5 minute your application part will be scaled down to zero but problem is end user don't need to recognize that thing so end user may click on your web browser or mobile some touch on your mobile phone and that hibernated part will be grew up automatically in a short time like just one second or two seconds but some application even Java application to start up just 5 seconds or some application needed to 10 minutes second 100 minutes second which one would be better for event driven or some less with Java technology that's why the parkers more fit in this architecture and one thing one more so back to the monitoring stuff and runner here so back here and run ok now we can see so 5.5 megabyte so previously same application and running on JVM we need the 85 something like that and this is we need just need 5 15 or 16 times less than memory footprint and start of time we just need one second or half a second but now we have 20 20 millisecond is almost 600 times faster than any other the Microsoft's application so speed and scalability and performance one of them you are some concern on your Kubernetes or your Microsoft's architecture or event driven architecture maybe workers should be your answer for next generation Java technology but the other way what you want and back to the here and go to the application yeah it's working so one thing actually I was supposed to show one thing more is the so Kubernetes KNM stuff so there are one just single simple YAML file you can define using the Kubernetes CR deploy your containerized corpus application on your Kubernetes using KNM serving and after that your application will be handled by sub less which means you don't cast any application cast in 5 minutes 1 in 30 seconds in 20 minutes your application will be scaled down to 0 automatically but problem is when you call your application by call command or reload web browser and sometimes it takes 30 seconds or 10 seconds but corpus using native executable file it's just show up right away so that is really awesome for some less architecture well actually I'm going to use the opposite cluster today but yeah something messed up in this morning so there is no deployment actually so back to some slides there so how make it happen to super fast and a small memory put for you so based on that corpus application using JVM as well as GRI-VM but not every GRI-VM technology we just use GRI-Compiler and sub-tray VM the actual long time so because GRI-VM is invented by oracle and there are two versions one is the community version and the other is the enterprise version so enterprise version supports more enterprise great functionality like Divo etc we just only use compiler and sub-tray VM so if you have maybe you might have some experience to use the GRI-VM technology with your application it's really hard to create some GRI-VM configuration and some annotation and some runtime something like that so after that so Java and container you can now see the here so many corpus in the same high density but this is running on GRI-VM an executable image if you are using the JVM technology but it could be possible but not like that better than this one but not like more smaller because the JVM still have a lot of money and a lot of memory so we changed the spot but this is the optional so you can use the high spot and the GRI-VM and the startup time and I think many many changes my memory just maybe 10 or 20 so couple of the benefit or the corpus point of view, I've been a long time java developer so live fitting and unified configuration two things really cool so you don't worry about re-packaging, re-deploy and also configuration messed up you don't need to worry about that thing any longer this is really awesome and extensions you can even create this is open source project so we have already many company and organization and even developer wants to create own custom extension and create the PR actually already they did so for example so we have some mailing server we have some third party extensions and you can add that functionality on your maven so the problem is your application is super fast but when you communicate that third party application takes a long time and user perspective it takes a long time so quality is low and that's good but you couldn't have custom extension and ring to your third party on your corpus and build native executable and run still super fast so that's the one of the good benefit and supersonic so coming now I totally believe you understand this one and less api I just showed them today less api stuff but they can connect to cloud like a transaction on our dbms like a hibernate punisher link to the mongrel db and postgres and still faster than the others corpus, radium and just jdk and traditional javascript excuse me so unified imperative reactive so just a couple months ago I have some developer meetup but not normal developer it's an integration developer they are really love to play with the cop car so they are creating messaging and cop car cluster and topic and integration program even using java technology so one thing they have some concern is that there are two types of language or two types of technology traditional application and integration application but still same java technology so corpus, you don't need to worry about that so different annotation inject and streaming and outgoing and if you add incoming annotation on your java method and corpus will wire your java method as an event driven stuff like a link to cop car cluster of course you should add where is my cop car cluster and where is my cop car cluster form number you should add that kind of some value and variable on your application.property files but the other things is exactly same like an imperative application like a REST API and exposure and you can inject event burst or a product context to handle your event driven application and more and more extension can be coming up so one of the I just saying the e-steal service mesh available java developer to get rid of their concern about non-functional microservices like a monitoring observation and circuit breaking et cetera but java developer step point how to add some Yeager configuration on my java application you need to add this property in your specific file and you can add some logic on your java method or a classes file so pre some boring step and you can add the Yeager or Prometheus extension on your and the all required and mandatory property and that things already generated and create some even you can deploy application on Kubernetes and all manifesto will be generated deployment YAML file and the other YAML file so last one we have just the Spring Boot strategy in Quarkus so the goal is the popular and familiar with the the Spring Boot application so some people came to me hey Daniel do we need to migrate from existing Spring Boot application to Quarkus because that is a super awesome and native executable and super fast and small memory profiling you don't need to do that not entire Spring ecosystem but we support the common popular Spring Boot ecosystem such as the dependent injection and MVC and data JPA and security and more more will be coming up so the reason why we don't need to migrate the existing application and we just need to run the Quarkus end of the day maybe the developer can develop all this Quarkus some annotation, syntax et cetera but now they can run Spring Boot application without migration on Quarkus if they are using this kind of ecosystem why do they do that because the even Spring Boot all but small memory profiling and super fast like a millisecond without any change so the goal feels familiar and new at the same time that is the main goal of the Quarkus so there are some bunch of things to learn more Quarkus stuff we have the Quarkus.io I already showed that and the Julia chat you can participate if you have any question just so you can add any question and some share your idea and there are Quarkus Twitter and you can send me or any something about Quarkus problem and issue and any idea you can send me my Twitter as well and I think it's done and any question? Do you think it's they don't pick up, they don't go on or what's your feeling from the organizations from people around the world is it going to happen or it's just a thing that's nice and sexy now absolutely the question was how are we going to be the Quarkus in the next couple of years how are we looking at the Quarkus I got many chance to luckily to be in trouble on the wall in the United States APAC and Europe Middle East and whenever I show this thing and people say maybe still over 10% people already know what Quarkus is and after the introduction of the Quarkus they really love that and I don't think the Kubernetes will be there in couple of years so which means the Kubernetes will keep going for next generation architecture which means the Java still have a big concern to wrong application on Kubernetes so Quarkus gives some answers for solutions so I really see some bright side not really sexy but yeah and you know also there are many the other ones I have time for and they already have almost similar feature like SQL and 5DM stuff that means all trend will move forward to the performance on Kubernetes not the transmission is not there so definitely will be better maybe next year or even in two years so with that we are close on we maybe the application side Quarkus and infrastructure side is an opportunity on Kubernetes thank you any other question? last, oh yeah yeah, I suppose more features for around the end like some labeled features in the topic I know we don't have a client to use in the enterprise but the question so we have a client to use the Quark one of the main part of the features we just just use the QuarkM compiler but we don't know actually we continue to use that thing you know also you know also the JVM the JVK so so from now on I'm making commotion, you need the people that use the Quarkus JVK what about that things even if we just use the small part of the QuarkM compiler version so maybe it's tricky but still we are close on performance based on QuarkM but yeah I think the registry will be the end of the April and we will have some details about the Quarkus maybe you can hear some more details this is my next writer which is now working on it alright thank you for coming


We demystify what goes on behind the therapy room door. Join us on this voyage of discovery and co-creative conversations. This is The Therapy Show, behind closed doors podcast with Bob Cook and Jackie Jones. Welcome back to The Therapy Show behind closed doors with myself Jackie Jones and the wonderful Mr Bob Cook and this is episode 100 Bob. This is our centenary episode. I know I would look for the champagne and it's gone so I've got a can of coke here. I thought it's really important to celebrate it so have you got anything to drink there? I have I've got a cup of coffee. Congratulations to you Bob. Cheers Bob. Cheers. Congratulations to all the people that have been with us all this time and the new people that have joined and of course the people listening today. I went on the podcast anchor where we publish this and they send it out to everybody to see how many listens we've had and we've had over 22,000 listens. Oh that's amazing and that's just on the podcast that's not including YouTube which you know there's I think there's regularly 250-300 people an episode listening on YouTube so the numbers are really good Bob. That's great and consistent. Yes yes that's the thing consistent. Over a hundred episodes. I know. I know it's amazing really and of course the one we've picked today is I think you said it's about the concept of change in psychotherapy. It is yes the importance of the concept of change in the therapeutic process. It's very important and of course we've got a new king as well. Well we will have. Well we have but the carnation is on the you know sixth I think so if you talk about change I mean King Charles has waited a long time. He has to be third. To actually get his hand on the crown or hands on the crown if you like. Yeah yeah change he actually brings. Yeah change can be really scary for a lot of people. Might be for him. It might be yeah he's going to be completely different because he was allowed to be quite outspoken as a prince but now he's the king he needs to be unbiased and isn't really allowed an opinion is he? No well on some things but he's supposed to be neutral. Yeah so it's a new it's a new era. Yes King Charles. What's the actual name for it? So there's an actual name isn't there for this particular era. It's just like not Caucasian but it's something like that you know like the Victorian age of the Elizabethan age. Yeah this is I read it the other day it was a mouthful but it's a new era. I don't think I've even heard it so I have no idea but yeah it is it's a new era. The world is definitely changing there's a lot of changes going on and some of them well most of them 99.9% of them we don't have any control over. No that's absolutely true. I was two when the Queen you know the Queen before Charles actually came to the throne. Wow. Now I'm seeing another one in. Yeah see I often think that your generation and my generation have seen an awful lot of changes you know inventions new things the internet the microwave the you know the duvet the continental quilt things like lots and lots of changes in my lifetime. Even daytime television when I was a kid television didn't start until like five o'clock at night or whatever. Yeah okay let's talk about therapy. Yes. So I'll be interested in your thoughts about change. I mean you know it's really interesting different approaches to therapy isn't it. But you know whatever different approaches we talk about one of the goals if you like is positive change. Yeah. Eric Bernard originated transaction analysis and as you know contractual theory is a hallmark of transaction analysis. He was always emphasizing the importance of contracts with a positive change. Yeah. So that needs to be specific the change needs to be specific observable behavioral and you wouldn't just have a contract for me and Ringo and for example you'd have a particular specific behavioral observable contract for positive change. So in TA change through contracts is actually central to the therapy. What if a client comes and they don't know what they want to change. We did a podcast we did a podcast didn't we about god I don't know what number this is we're up to 100 so I don't know idea but it was about clients who didn't know what they wanted. Yeah when they come and they just say I want to be happy. Yeah I think it was number 56 or 57 I can't remember we talked for quite a long time about that and many clients do of course come and they don't actually know what they want to change. They have a level of discomfort. Yeah. Usually the motivation for something to happen. It's usually that the discomfort will be taken away somehow but you see I think that in itself is change isn't it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know TA is very hot on contract specific behavioral observable positive change some sort of change or transformation through the therapy process. I do believe most people who come through our door if not all have some level of motivation. Yeah. Not when coming through that door in the first place or even picking up the phone or writing an email or sending a text or whatever it is maybe a script change in itself. Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. So even though most TA therapists will look for contractual change and anyway in answer to your first question what do people don't know what they want to change.  Yeah. Usually I negotiate with the client if they don't know what they want to change for exploring contract. Yeah. They will explore maybe what brought them here. You know how come they came through the door in the first place what's happening for them in their life. I haven't necessarily contracted for specific change. So exploring is fine for me but out of the exploring if you like we usually settle on some contract for change. Yeah. Yeah. Because you know yes the clients motivated when they come you know like you said to pick up the phone to make the appointment to arrive on time and all those sort of things but they've got to be prepared to take action as well and to do something different and that can be a big thing for some clients. They want to change but they don't necessarily want to do anything different. Well I think there's a difference between inter-psychic change or internal change. Yeah. Internal change. Yeah. Yeah. Quite often we are aware of the changes that maybe are occurring with our clients and the second thing I know I've said the statement a thousand maybe two thousand times through my career change is a process not an event and it always starts with internal change. Yeah. And then from the internal change comes the external change. It's always that way around. Yeah. So in therapy we change in the internal then. Like the thoughts because to me everything starts with a thought and awareness of of needing to change. Well it doesn't with me. I understand where you're coming from but I think if we're talking about the internal world I think we're talking about not just thoughts or feelings maybe you know spiritual change spiritual change maybe. Yeah. Even. Yeah. Maybe thoughts and feelings are the major two. But the spiritual change and feelings and everything do they not all start with a thought and being conscious of where we are now and where we want to be with it. Well now you're into deep areas you see. I think we have lots of unawareness processes if you like which doesn't necessarily demand thinking. Wow. That's a new one on me Bob. In other words I think you have an energetic change. You see thoughts are energy. Yeah. Yeah. Feelings are energy. Yeah. So it doesn't have to start with the thinking could start with the feeling. Okay. You can have you could have feeling if you're talking about energetic processes it could have or one way of thinking is that in a cycle is that the the energetic process if you like is a feeling and the thought comes after that doesn't necessarily mean the thought comes first and the feeling comes afterwards. Okay. People can have you know yourself you can offer and well perhaps you don't perhaps you're going to you're going to disagree with me which is fine as well. But I'll be odd if you might not be odd actually you might not think it's odd. But many times I've had a feeling and I haven't the idea. What the feelings about because I've been thinking about the feelings feelings just happened like a pressure cooker suddenly it's happened. Suddenly I feel sad for some reason or I feel depressed for some reason or I feel emotional for some reason and I haven't been thinking about I was sad. I just felt sad. Yeah. Yeah. And maybe it's not always a conscious thought. Yeah. Yeah. Well you know do you think differently then? Well yeah I think so. There's a lot of thinking going on Bob. It's like I used to I've got a lot better now but I used to have a fee of flying didn't like flying and I can remember I was going I had to go to Tesco to buy some toiletries deodorants and things like that to go on the flight you know you always buy new stuff new toothbrush when you're going away and I got anxious going to Tesco's buying things for the flight. But for me that was connected to the flight because I knew I needed those before I went on the flight so I wasn't thinking about the flight but it was connected to the flight in some way if that makes sense. Well I think you're saying the flight was a trigger or something that was happening internally. Quite possibly but you know I wasn't having a conscious thought about the fact the flight that made me feel anxious. I was going to buy something that was relevant to flying I don't know but yeah it's kind of like my brain connects up the dots that aren't necessarily needed connecting up a lot of the time. So for you everything starts with thinking. Yeah even if I'm not aware that I'm having a thought. So so there are many approaches that would have different ways of thinking about that. Yeah. Yeah. Emotions rather feelings. Yeah. It's awful. Yeah but I am a very thinking person it's what I do. So there for you with clients I suspect you'll be after a specific change around thinking. Yeah an awareness around with thoughts yeah yeah. And nothing itself is a change isn't it? Absolutely yeah. Followed by behavioural action. Yeah yeah and I like the fact that you were talking about you know internal change and external change you know there are two different ones we can we can present and look like we're making a change we can get up and go to the gym and do all of those do you know what I mean that there is is a external change but whether there's an internal change as well we can't see that yeah. And of course with clients and you'll have this experience I'm sure not necessarily not necessarily do they know what's going on internally because they're so disconnected to different parts of the self. So they could be they could feel things and be disconnected from their thinking for example. Yeah yeah. So they feel things but they don't necessarily think what they're feeling. Yeah yeah because it's different for everybody. Yeah and I do believe that most people usually in Derby are disconnected to some levels. Yeah I went to Derby for the first time. I knew there's huge disconnect between you know maybe what was happening at a thinking level and what was happening at a feeling level and part of the therapy was perhaps a big part of the beginning of the therapy anyway was to help me have some sort of connection between the two parts of what I was thinking and what I was feeling. Yeah. Sometimes I didn't know what I was thinking at all. I had a feeling but I couldn't connect with the thought. Yeah. So I think as the more often disturbed we are the more fragmented we are. Yeah is this what you would refer to as being split off? Yes. Parts of us being split off yeah yeah. We disown part of ourselves. Yeah. Split off fragmented. Yeah. And the job of therapy is to help the clients be in touch with different parts of themselves, to take ownership of different parts of themselves and integration as the cure. Yeah even the parts of ourselves that we don't necessarily like. Well more that's actually more the case actually. Yeah. The darker sides are usually the parts of the sides we've cut off. Yeah. So almost by definition we'll go to the darker sides of our internal processes. I believe anyway. Yeah. I mean I think the straightforward part is the parts that we like actually because we we tend to take ownership of the parts of the self that we like. So for example yeah if you like being a humus person then yeah you probably can take ownership of the fact you can express humour. It's the darker sides I think that we have difficulty in taking ownership of. Yeah understandably but we all have them and it's about being honest and truthful with ourselves which is quite difficult a lot of the time and to accept like you said those parts of us. And of course the therapy that is most favoured by the National Health Service in the UK is cognitive behavioural thinking. Because cognitive behavioural therapy starts with you know all about thoughts. If we can change our thinking that will lead to a change in our behaviour. Yeah. Change in our behaviour especially positive behaviour is what it's about for CBT therapists. Yeah. Yeah and again though it's awareness for me. If we're aware of our unhelpful thinking at times or that negative self-talk but often it's it's there but when we don't hear it we react to it and you know all those sorts of things but we're not consciously aware of the negative self-talk that we have running in the background pretty much all the time. It's like just me. No you're correct you're correct that most people I believe are unaware because it's become because it's become like a habit. Yeah. A habit has gone down in our levels of awareness. Yeah. So you can say to clients well I experience you being very hard on yourself and they might say yes I'm a very I know I'm very hard on myself because friends say I'm hard on myself but then are they aware then of all the negative diatom that they say every day of that you know they wake up when they go to bed probably not but they do know at some level they're hard on themselves but the question is do they know they're hard themselves because friends have told them they're hard on themselves or do they know they're hard themselves because they can actually take ownership they've been hard on themselves. Yeah. I think they're two different things. Yeah absolutely. Yeah. So you're right I think awareness is the first place. Yeah and you know so how do we create an environment in the therapy room for change what do we as therapists need to do? Well I think the first place is to provide what you do all the time I do all the time which is to provide an environment where the person feels safe enough and secure enough to be able to just be whatever. Yeah. So that's the first step isn't it? Yeah. The second step is I think which is taught in any counselling courses or any any psychotherapy courses from the word dot is to help the client be aware of our non-judgmental stance in other words but we're not going to judge them negatively. Yeah. Yeah. That will help them feel much safer and much more secure. So I think we have to provide an environment we have to come from a non-judgmental stance and I think we need a lot of patience to help a person tell their story become aware perhaps of the different parts themselves that weren't aware of but I think the starting point is a safe secure environment and the therapist coming from a non-judgmental stance. Yeah. Yeah and when we do make a change often we have to let something go and you know when we're integrating and I'm talking personally now I learned you know things about myself that I didn't necessarily like so I was letting go of one part of my personality if you will in order to pick up something else so it's kind of like part of who I was needed to go you know the performing personality and the surviving personality you know the one that I was projecting out wasn't necessarily the authentic me but in order to let that go that that was quite a big thing. Yeah I think you're correct and therefore loss is a big part of change isn't it? Yeah yeah yeah and understanding that and giving the client time to come to terms with that. Yeah come to terms with the loss of what was in the in the service of being able to be different. Yeah which is a bit strange really because if we're making change the positive things so that you know we're a better person and our life script is you know working in our favour rather than against us and everything you think it'd be really easy to let part of ourselves go but it's not because it's our identity so we've associated with for you know 40 50 years whatever it is and to suddenly not be that person anymore it can make us quite anxious. Oh I think it inevitably makes ourselves anxious and it's a process never an event. Yeah yeah it needs to be so that we can you know one of the things I say to clients a lot of the time is you know we don't need to go full gusto into this it's okay to stop and tread water for a while and to just kind of like when we go into a dark room you need to allow your eyes time to adjust so we need to adjust to a new way of being when we are making a change and that's okay. Yeah and I think there's always a cost to change. Yeah because cost is loss. Yeah there's always a cost to change and as I said the biggest cost I think is loss. Yeah I can remember when I started my training you know the me who I was training with said that you know there's a certain percentage of people when they go through psychotherapy training that end up you know splitting up from the partners because they realise how different they actually are and when when they start to change through the training and the therapy process you know that there's a strain on the relationship because they're not changing alongside you. Yeah I don't know they're searching for those statistics but that's correct. Yeah. Hopefully people who really love and care for people will stay with them. Yeah yeah but it's a big thing about communication. Oh absolutely and I think it's quite high the statistics I think you're correct it's a big thing. Yeah change. Hopefully the people who care for them will stay with them. Yeah which I suppose you know for the clients if they're making a change relationships change alongside it. All the time. Yeah very interesting. Yeah it's very interesting that's why it's important I think for people to be aware of the cost of change. It's not straightforward at all. No and we can't unlearn the things that we learn in therapy but once we become aware then we can't kind of go back to where we were in the first place. That's why contracts I think are always a process never an event as I said earlier and I think some contracts may take six months some might take six years. Yeah. Because they need to be fully integrated. Yeah. Now the more disturbed a person is the more fragmented they are and then the more fragmented they are the more ownership of different parts of the self needs to happen and that all takes time. Yeah yeah because I think you know sometimes in the the therapy room I've seen a client appear to be making changes but the reality is it's kind of like their child trying to please you by making out like they're making a change if that makes sense but it's not it's not really a change it's not authentic it's it's them adapting to what they think they should be doing. Yeah and I think that's a big part of the therapy process.  Yeah to get it right to do the right thing yeah. Yeah and I think that's an important important thing for the therapist to look out for and to have adult to adult discussions if possible. Yeah. With the client around all this and what they've changed and what they've done. Yeah. So this adaptation is talk through if it's there. Yeah. Yeah yeah because you know like you said earlier on you know having a safe space where they can you know practice that change out and you know learn about themselves in a safe environment without fear of judgment or whatever before they go out into the big wide world. Yes and then the question is is there always change in the psychotherapy room you know in other words do clients always change and maybe one thought processes are they always going to change for the better. I mean that's the definition usually of the contract a positive contract that there will be change for the better but is that always the case. It's an interesting question. Not quite so sure. I think I hope I hope it's that way. Yeah the people around them might not always think it is I know for me I was a people pleaser I still am to a certain extent but not as much as what I used to be and when I changed that the people around me didn't necessarily like it because I wasn't pleasing them all the time I was putting myself further up my priority list which wasn't what I used to do so they didn't think it was a positive change. I do think though usually in psychotherapy you know a person will change in some ways. Yeah it's about achieving a contract. Other disciplines which doesn't have contractual theory at the hub of it will also have a hub of it if you like transformational change. Yeah so they can look at how changes occurred. So I think for effective psychotherapy it is important that we look at how a person's changed or hasn't. Yeah yeah and I think it's good for the client to notice that you know what I mean to recap over the contracts every so often and see you know how they are now compared to how they were when they came in because when it is gradual when it is a process I don't think we often realise how far we actually have come down the road. That's right and as a therapist one thing I always did religiously was to celebrate changes. Yeah yeah. No that's not as easy as it sounds because a lot of clients were brought up that it was the wrong thing to do if you like to celebrate positive change and for clients to take ownership of you know of positive change was something I embedded in my therapy. Yeah I like that because yeah it is you know blowing your own trumpet or you know being big-edded or things like that it's not you know it's not the dumb thing a lot of the time we're not encouraged to do that as kids or when we're growing up. No so the therapist needs to advocate a different way of being. Yeah yeah and again model it you know what I mean it's it's part of the process.  Yeah so change should be part I think of effective therapy. Yeah. Even though it may take a long time. Yeah and to notice when change does occur you know in the therapy process if the client is doing something that's you know kind of unusual or not normally done to notice that and feed it back to them. Yeah I think that's a big one. Yeah I have our clients that are very amiable and very agreeable and everything and the one time where they kind of disagree or say something I will point it out to them so you know I did that for you that's that's really you know a change for you. Yeah I enjoyed that both thank you. You're welcome. So what we're going to be talking about next time is working with the isolated client. That's a big topic. It is yeah quite a difficult topic as well. Okay until next time Bob thank you. You've been listening to The Therapy Show behind closed doors podcast. We hope you enjoyed the show.
